Scripture isn't this complicated, nor is its meaning so hidden that we need nearly incomprehensible flow charts to figure end times out. For those of us who are post-mil, we're in the 1000 year reign of Christ and he will return victorious at the appointed time. Very simple and easy to understand.

Christian Gedge has created a chart that supports what Baberean2 is saying here.......and i thought it's been shared numerous of times.

(Edited - this is CG's timeline chart)

Even as erroneous it is, at least CG put his view on a timeline chart that a person can see what he believes and reasoning in a non-fragmented form.

I would like to see some of the Revelation events on his above chart or a companion one.

Like Jesus's return, and the 42 months preceding, and the time, times, half time of Satan's short time left, those kind of things.

Well I am not computer savvy enough to make a timeline- so you have to settle for me writing one out!

Every timeline chart I have seen to date are filled with suppositions or outright mistakes because they neglected passages of SCripture that had a part in the end times.

Yours also is filled with inaccuracies! YOu have the sixth seal being opened and placed it under the 7th trumpet sounding- that is just plain wrong! And you do not understand the purposes of the extra 30 and then 45 days (the 1290 and 1335) they are post return timeframes!

You are computer savvy enough to make a post. So with a litte more effort you can learn how to use a a program like paint shop pro 2020. Just start playing around with it.

Well, you make one that works.
There are not an "extra" 30 and then 45 days. In the first place, extra to what? Nevermind...

My chart is correct but....

You make a timeline chart of your own that you think is correct. No one can settle for you writing one out - because your communicating skills are so lacking, and you don't even realize it. For example, you just wrote "YOu have the sixth seal being opened and placed it under the 7th trumpet sounding..."

The error in what you wrote is you said the sixth seal being "opened".

The sixth seal and all the other seals were opened by Jesus back in John's day - otherwise, no-one would know what is in the book.

To communicate correctly, you should have wrote... "you have the sixth seal event taking place after the 7th angel sounding his trumpet".

I am just trying to show you with that example of what the problem is with verbal alone communications and why you need to make a timeline chart is needed as well.

Do you know how many times I have to go back, edit, and fix all my typing errors, left out words, bad punctuation, wrong way of saying something, overly emotional remarks, all of which is poor communications on my part, and such in every post I make - after I make my post the first time? Usually around three or four times, I have to edit every post, usually seconds after I post it.

To make a good timeline chart, presentable, it is going to take some effort on your part to learn something new in the way of a graphics program like paintshop pro 2020 for example. Don't use laziness as excuse.

Well.....claiming something is "erroneous" doesn't make it so.

It all really goes back to this......this the foundation of everything Christ had fulfilled.

no... it doesn't, I agree. I just didn't want to give the impression I agree with the chart.

...and totally wrong. But that is not the point. You have no information is what you just wrote in essence, just an ambiguous statement from a bible prophecy standpoint.

How does what you wrote, explain the parable of the fig tree generation? for example. When all of the prophecies in Matthew 24:15-30 will take place.

Using CG's timeline as a foundation....a person can then use Adam Maarschalk's chart to see more specifics, like this:

The chart is a visual from which a discussion can pursue. From that standpoint, the ideas and thinking of the chart maker are apparent at a glance. A big help than just a bunch of words in a narrative.

What I really after is I want to see more use of charts in the threads by posters when discussing complex issues - which just about all of the topics in this forum involve complex issues.

The more details you incorporate into your "complete presentations", the higher the probability you got it wrong.

Simple summaries are probably better, because nobody can figure out all details. There are thousands of prophetic texts in the Bible and almost all of them can be explained in various ways.

maybe, most likely, but that is not what counts - what counts is determining that something is wrong and fixing it.

I am not saying eliminate summaries, nor narratives, nor any form of verbalizing, but add some timeline charts in the course of the discussions.

How can you determine that some detail is wrong? Prophecies are quite ambiguous most of time.

There is no one single way. Usually, it's going to be a case of what happens, before something else can happen....

The major events, most people who are into eschatology are aware of. Just put them on a timeline chart to get the order straight, and when possible, include the timeframes surrounding each event. And annotate the appropriate bible passage.

Look at my chart. You can see what I did.

Well, my eschatology is quite simple - everything happened either around 30 AD or around 66-70 AD. Not sure what the chart should present.

To figure out details is hard, because I was not there and I have only incomplete written historical records.

We start with what we have. Which is the written text of the bible. And historical record. It is only by God helping us and showing the way that we can get it right.

God didn't have his prophets right in chart form. I don't see any reason anyone else should.

I don't think God is asking you to be a prophet, is He? None of the prophets put all the end times prophecies together in relation to one another. In fact, the prophecies are by a multitude of prophets in different generations.

So you should run to and fro and your knowledge shall increase.
