Good postAbsolutely! It's very serious stuff. But it's not part of any biblical timetable that I can see. In fact, I defy anyone to prove a timetable that actually works for anything!
There is no timetable.
When Jesus told people to recognise the signs of the times, he was saying they should have recognised him! Who he was. What that meant. How salvation was going to arrive.
Jesus said to be aware of the signs of the times, which was basically a rebuke against the Jews who should have recognised who he was. That this was the day of the Lord's salvation.
Warnings about an abomination that causes desolation was simply to warn that if Israel did not repent the Romans were coming!
The abomination of desolation was a general reference to Antiochus, that's something horrible would desecrate the temple. The Romans burning it down while sacrificing to the eagle standard as an idol representing Caesar himself fulfils the criteria.
All we know is that the Lord will return one day and judge the living and the dead, and usher in the new heavens and the new earth.
We do not know when.
Your timetables have failed on multiple accounts and have zero credibility.
Your inability to read the Old testament prophets for what they are actually saying actually alarms me more than many things I've read on the internet! I hope nobody here takes anything you say seriously, because it is simply that shocking an example of ripping verses out of their context.
