The Biblical Timeline Backbone - 37 Events from Creation to New Jerusalem

Concerning the timeline contained within scripture, only 37 events are needed to calculate the duration of time from creation to the new Jerusalem. This 'backbone' acts as a type of checksum whereby the events of the biblical timeline are kept in synch.

The file can be found at https://7049biblicaltimelineresearch.org/biblicalTimelines.html and is an easy to follow list of scripture references, and their duration, that transitions from one event to the next.

How did you calculate the Tribulation happening 6 years from now?
 
The file is just a chart that adds up the duration between events as it goes along through scripture.
That's how the calculation comes to another six years before the tribulation begins (6031).
 
Hey Jarhead4Jesus

I wouldn't be surprised if your timeline is fairly accurate, but...

I'm concerned as to how you got us to year 6025. Most Jewish calendars put us at less than 6.000 years since the creation event. Most reports say that we are in the year 5785 or so. Does that change your timeline of events? Is it possible that we may actually be more like 250 years from this event that you're claiming will come about in the year 6031? The great tribulation.

What if you or whoever wrote the article is wrong about "the tribulation?" What if the tribulation is what happened in 70AD to Israel and has been past for 2,000 years.

Hi #whatever,
Then Jesus would not have been correct that it was going to be a time that was worse than has ever been or ever will be. I'm pretty sure that the holocaust pogrom against the Jews was worse than the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD, as far as the suffering of the Jewish people.

I'm sure the numbers aren't completely accurate, but the estimate of Jews who died in 70 A.D. is only 1 million. The estimate of Jews dying in Germany is 6 million and I'm pretty sure that their lives were more difficult living in concentration camps before their deaths, than just living in Jerusalem before their deaths.

So, I'm pretty confident that it isn't speaking of the overthrow of Jerusalem.

Then there's the matter that Paul said that the great tribulation was a precursor to the return of Jesus. That wouldn't have really been much of a 'sign' for believers to go by if, after the destruction of Jerusalem being the tribulation and there was still at least 2,000 years to go before Jesus would return.

How do you know? Were you there to compare the two?

I just searched through my NT and Paul only mentions "tribulation" 8 times and I don't see one of them talking about the return of Christ. The words "great tribulation" don't appear at all.

The posted timeline is simply taking the events of scripture, and their relevant numbers, and adding them up.

If you go step-by-step, through the details of scripture you'll find that they synchronize with the 'backbone' identified here.

There are two ways to get to the Flood.
There are three ways to get from the Exodus to the 4th year of Solomon.
There are at least two ways to get from the 4th year of Solomon to the Babylonian exile.

Also, if you add up the Jubilee's, according to Leviticus 25, from the year of the Jordan River Crossing to the second coming of Christ you'll find that is also synchronized.

In fact, if you use the timeline as scripture lays it out, you can then turn around and see that there is a lot of structure, and even symmetry.

Hi Jarhead4Jesus

I'm sorry but I missed the answer in there. What evidence do you have that we are in the year 6025 and not the year 5785 as the Jewish calander would suggest? I guess I'm asking what are these 'relevant numbers' that you are referencing by which you are ascribing the time on your timeline?
 
This is my scenario of the end of days.

When the son of perdition takes his literal seat in the holy place of Jerusalem Jesus warned us to flee as He has a place prepared for us wherever we go to, Matthew 24:15-21; Rev 12:14.

God's protection is absolute to those who escape into the wilderness and trust in Christ to help meet their needs. Just as God told Moses to strike the rock for fresh water, Exodus 17:1-7, and sending manna down from heaven and providing Quail for meat, Exodus 16, so will be the same in the end of days, Philippians 4:19.

Nut shell scenario of what will happen during the first six trumpets of Rev Chapter 8-11 that leads up to the seventh trumpet and the events of Chapter 13 with the beast out of the sea and out of the earth. Then in Rev 19 the marriage supper of the Lamb, those who will be caught up to Christ will happen when He returns with his army of angels and sends them out to gather us to Him in the air, Matthew 24:29-31.

God’s wrath is poured out into the world as chastisements for disobedience, but also a warning that man needs to repent and turn back to God before the door of salvation is closed forever when Christ returns on the last day, John 5:28-29; 6:40.

Hail and fire can be likened unto meteors that fall from the sky. A third of the trees and all the green grass are burned up which makes a third part of the world with a shortage of oxygen in the air that is created from the carbon dioxide from the trees and living plants. Seeing that this is Global the intense fire and smoke from all the trees and grass burning can travel for miles causing much more damage throughout the nations. The trees that produce various healthy foods for our wellbeing will become scarce. The green grasses that would probably include crops of wheat, barley, corn and so forth will be destroyed causing a shortage in food. The animals we depend on as a food source will also die as they are left without vegetation they need to live on.

This great mountain burning with fire could be another meteor or even a series of meteors sent down from heaven at one time, but on an extremely larger scale as the third part of the sea is destroyed along with sea life and the third part of the ships that sit in it. The third part of the sea turned to blood by reason of all the animal life that is killed and those men, women and children who are on these ships that are destroyed. Take into consideration the disease that would spread from all the rotted sea life that is rotting away washing up on the shore and the flesh of those who were burned along with the ships.

These ships will more than likely be types of fuel tankers, merchant, fishing and luxury cruises ships traveling the waters. With the third of these ships being destroyed means a third part of the world’s fuel and food supply would be destroyed. There is only one ocean, but divided by four regions as being the Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Arctic Ocean, and the Indian Ocean. This would be like the four corners of the earth as being North, South, East and West. The only difference between the ocean and the sea is that the ocean is much larger and feeds into the 108 seas around the world that also flow into our lakes and streams that provide us with fresh drinking water and other sources of food.

With the third part of the sun, moon and stars being darkened this will affect mans source of electricity and heat that is vital to keep a certain degree of the earth warm, and generated power in homes, hospitals and manufacturing plants including nuclear reactors.

Agriculture and navigation would be hard pressed as it takes the solar power from the sun to run the solar cells that produces the energy needed to run farming machinery and trucks to take the produce to manufacturing plants where the produce is then distributed to market.

Vehicles such as cars, ambulances, planes, trains and the list goes on need an energy source from the sun in order to run their engines. The darkness of the third part of the day would be roughly around eight hours of daylight being lost and total darkness of night as the moon and stars are illuminated by the sun at night. A flashlight would be useless to see in the dark as it needs energy from the sun to run the battery that turns the light on.

This much darkness would cause people to panic in the streets creating chaos as the love of many will wax cold, Matthew 24:12. Riots would break out causing looting and lose of life as those who have not will do anything in desperation to take from those who have much. IMO Marshal law will be enforced as we see history repeat itself with many Christians taken captive that did not flee and killed as they refuse to denounce Christ and take the mark. They will also die a martyr's death, Rev 6:9-11, especially vs. 11. Also we are not to fear what man can do to us, Matthew 10:28.

This is where the mark of the beast comes in during the seventh trumpet as this NWO is a Luciferian system of economics, political, military, educational and false religious power that gives power to the beast out of the earth being the son of perdition. By lying signs and wonders the beast will deceive the nations (people) into taking its mark. IMO I think the mark is the thoughts of our mind and the actions of our hands reaching out to this beast that promises peace, safety and provision as many will bow down and worship this beast who claims to be God.

After the 3 1/2 years of this Luciferian reign on earth that will try and wear out the saints then every eye will see Christ coming in the clouds with His army of angels that are then sent out to gather those saints who are alive at His coming and those who sleep in their graves. We are gathered up to the clouds as we receive our new glorified bodies in order to meet Jesus in the air. From the air He destroys the beast and false prophet by the brightness of His coming only speaking their destruction casting them into the lake of fire. Satan is bound for a time as Jesus sets out to destroy all the nations that followed after the beast. Satan is then released in a final attempt to destroy the saints as he sends his angels out to surround the camp of the saints, but the angels are consumed by fire and Satan cast into the lake of fire. Then comes God's great white throne judgment and the books are opened and all are judged. Then this present heaven and earth are burned up and made new again and the New Jerusalem is ushered down from heaven where we will be with the Lord forever.
 
Hi again for_his_glory

God's wrath will be released upon the earth only one last time. At which point there will not be any further people to come to Him through His promise. It is explained in the account of the Revelation of Jesus 14:14-20. The tribulation that Jesus warned us of comes upon all mankind. Everyone who is alive at the time will experience the suffering of the great tribulation. Sometime after the great tribulation has come, Jesus returns to get those who are his. Then, that second angel written of in the account of the Revelation of Jesus comes and sweeps up everyone that was left by Jesus and they are cast into the winepress of God's wrath.

The days of great tribulation and the time of the wrath of God are not the same thing! God's word is clear that His children will not suffer His wrath. So there won't be anyone to come to God after Jesus removes those who are his and the fairly immediate release of the bowl judgments of God's wrath. If anyone is living on the earth when God's wrath comes... they didn't make it.
 
Hi Jarhead4Jesus

Right. That's what I understood. What I'm questioning is the number that you are assigning this year. You're claiming that we are now in the year 6025. There's a big red arrow pointing to that year as the 'current year'. From what I've gleaned from the Jewish calander, we are only at year 5,785. So, do you have the math that shows how we are now in year 6025 is my question?

I believe we only have about 4 years till the great tribulation.
The coming of Christ would mark the beginning of the 7th millinium which is the Lords Sabbath.

Take into account a day to the Lord is 1000 years and that the Lord rests from his work on the 7th day.

Luke 13:32
He said to them, “Go tell that fox, ‘Look, I’m driving out demons and performing healings today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will complete my work.’

Jesus said this about 26-28 AD,so the third day in Luke 13:32 would be about 2028 AD and last 1000 years.


Revelation 20
6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.





I'm sure by this time next year,I will know for sure if it's 4 years away.
 
Hi Shilohsfoal

Right. But if you're going by the 1,000 years is as a day for the seventh day Sabbath rest, then it matters whether we are in 5786 or 6025. That's a 250 years spread. Now, I like you, believe the Lord's return could surely be soon when I see all the sin that is practiced all over the earth. I would not be surprised if the Lord returns within the next 100-200 years, but we still have the days of tribulation, and I'm thinking they must be worse than the days we are living today. We also don't have anyone yet who we can positively identify in most of the other players of those days.

If that's true, then we still will see those days before Jesus returns as is described in the Revelation of Jesus 14:14-20. But we can, at best only issue imprecise expectations as regards the day or hour of our Lord's glorious returning. Prasie God!
