The sequence of events

[Douggg]

This is the sequence of events:

1. the resurrection/rapture event.
2. then the great tribulation - time of the beast
3. then Jesus returns to earth - with His bride
4. then the martyred great tribulation saints will be resurrected.
5. then the 1000 years of Revelation 20 take place.

2/ is a general encouragement for our daily lives now. Jesus is with us Spiritually. Until the end of the age. Matthew 28:19-20

What Pastors should preach, is how we must stand firm in our faith, as we pass through all that is going to happen. 1 Peter 4:12
