The End Time
The Bible says that Jesus will return twice, see the following:
- The Rapture when Jesus comes in the air for the Body of Christ,
probably during the Great Tribulation. - The second coming when Jesus comes down to Earth with the
Body of Christ, to fight for Israel at the end of the Great Tribulation.
Before this happen, the gospel will be proclaimed among all nations (Mat 24:14,
Mark 13:10). This is done through, among other things, the internet and YouTube.
There will be a great
apostasy (falling away) at the end of time (Mat 24:11–13,
Mark 13:5–6, Luke 21:8, 18:8b, 2 Thess 2:3, 2 Tim 3:1–5). Such is life in our time. The
apostasy opens up to Antichrist who people will follow, but will be defeated by Jesus when he comes down to Earth (2 Thess 2:1–12).
Gog from Magog will attack Israel, probably some time before the seven-year Tribulation period, but will be defeated by God himself, further opening the way
for Antichrist to take world power.
Gog's attack comes when Israel is at peace with its neighbors (Eze 38:8b, 11, 14).
Israel can have peace when Israel's covenant (Abraham Accords) with surrounding nations is strengthened at the beginning of Daniel's 70th week (also known as the
seven-year Tribulation period (Dan 9:27a)), see The 70th Week in
When Did Jesus Die and When Was He Born? This war will likely begin some time before Israel's covenant with surrounding nations is strengthened.
The Two Witnesses will appear during the first half of the Tribulation period. They will prophesy and preach the gospel in great power (Rev 11:5–6) testifying to the world that Jesus is king and will return. They will prophesy for 1260 (360x3.5) days = 3.5
Prophetic Years (Rev 11:3).
The Christians will be persecuted during this time (Mat 24:9–10, Mark 13:9, 12–13, Luke 21:12, 16–17).
My opinion is that the two witnesses aren't individuals but the anointed believers
of the house of Israel and the anointed believers of the house of Judah. The
anointed Gentile believers are grafted into the olive tree like wild olive shoots of
the house of Judah. Jesus is from the
tribe of Judah. We are still waiting for these olive trees that represent the anointed believers of the Jewish people. This speaks for a revival of the Jewish people, see
The 144,000 in the Book of Revelation. The 144,000 Christian Jews are servants of God who share the gospel of Jesus Christ with great signs and wonders during the Tribulation period.
This means that the two witnesses will operate with great power during the first 3.5
Prophetic Years of the seven-year Tribulation period. During this time,
the persecution of the believers will increase. Afterwards the Great Tribulation begins. Antichrist then persecutes and kills believers on a large scale. It will be
the greatest distress that has ever come upon the Earth (Mat 24:21, Mark 13:19).
For the sake of believers, the time between the start of the Great Tribulation and
The Rapture will be shortened (Mat 24:15–22, Mark 13:14–20).
Afterwards, Babylon is destroyed, which isn't Rome or Jerusalem, but probably
New York, see What is Babylon in the Book of Revelation? The last thing Antichrist does is to attack Jerusalem, but is defeated by Jesus when he returns to Earth
(Zechariah 12:3, 8–9, 14:2–3, Rev 17:14, 19:15–16), see more about this in
Explanation of Satan's Attack on the Woman in the Book of Revelation.
Jesus returns to Earth fully visible at the end of the Great Tribulation
(Mat 24:27–31, Mark 13:24–27, Luk 21:25–28), see
When he does, there will be judgement on the nations, see the story of
When will this happen?
The traditional view is that Jesus' ministry lasted about 3.5 years, and then
Jesus was crucified at 30 AD, see
When did Jesus Die? in
When Did Jesus Die and When Was He Born? The daily sacrifice in the temple was then no longer needed (Dan 9:27). In a sense, Jesus abolished the daily sacrifice.
He established a New Covenant (Jer 31:31–34, Luke 22:20). After seven years
Jesus appeared to
Paul about 34 AD who then converted, see
Biblical Timeline.
Then began the real mission among the Gentiles; the time of the Gentiles began.
During the end time there will be a Tribulation period of seven years. In the midst
of this period, Antichrist will abolish the daily sacrifice. He will sit in the temple and proclaim himself to be God (2 Thess 2:4). See this explained in
Ezekiel's Temple. Then the Great Tribulation begins, and will last for 3.5
Prophetic Years (Rev 12:6),
The following interpretation is based on Hosea 6:1–2: "
Come, let us return to the Lord; for he has torn us, that he may heal us; he has struck us down, and he will bind us up. After two days (2000 years)
he will revive us; on the third day (
millennial kingdom)
he will raise us up, that we may live before him."
A day in these Bible verses can be interpreted as about 1000 years according to
2 Pet 3:8–9 and Psalm 90:4.
My personal opinion about this time is as follows: There may be about
2000 years between these two interpretations of the 70th "week", that is,
- Adding 1260 days to April 17 2030 gives September 28 2033.
- Removal of 1260 days from April 17 2030 gives November 4 2026.
If so, the
Tribulation period begins in October–November 2026 AD, and
Jesus returns in September–October 2033 AD.

is calculated in
End of Time in
When Did Jesus Die and When Was He Born?
This gives the following possible scenario:
- Antichrist will act like a Roman dictator (Julius Caesar) and just like he did,
he will make himself dictator for life with unlimited power. - The leader of Russia as Gog (see Gog from Magog) with his coalition of countries will attack Israel. The attack comes when Israel is at peace with
its neighbors (Eze 38:8b, 11, 14). (Maybe some time in 2026). - Since Gog loses this war, it opens up for Antichrist.
- Antichrist will strengthen a peace agreement (see Abraham Accords) by involving more of the countries around Israel, see from time 16:29 in
The Man of Peace and Safety and the video The Fake Peace of the Antichrist.
When the new peace agreement is signed between Israel and its neighbours, the seven-year Tribulation period begins. (Maybe in October–November 2026, see End of Time in When Did Jesus Die and When Was He Born?) - Antichrist will in the first 3.5 Prophetic Years of the Tribulation period make himself world ruler. Not by exercising the fighting forces he will have at his disposal, but by threatening people and countries to use this power to shape them into his image. He threatens those who oppose him. He gains power primarily through threats, see time 6:08–8:08 in The Rise of a Dictator
and Donald Trump and Revelation 6:2. - He abolishes the daily sacrifice and sets up the abomination of desolation
in the temple 1,290 days before Jesus returns to Earth (Dan. 12:11),
see Ezekiel's Temple. The abomination is likely an image or statue of Antichrist. This is 30 days before the middle of the Tribulation period.
- After the 3.5 Prophetic Years of making himself world ruler, he will sit in
the temple and proclaim himself as God (2 Thess 2:4), see Ezekiel's Temple (Maybe in Passover 2030 (April 17), see End of Time in
When Did Jesus Die and When Was He Born?) - During the last 3.5 Prophetic Years of the Tribulation period
(the Great Tribulation) he will persecute anyone he perceives
to be disloyal to him (not having the mark).
It includes Christians and Jews on a large scale. He will act as Nero did.
He will then have the False Prophet at his disposal. - At some time during the Great Tribulation, The Rapture occurs.
- At the end of the Great tribulation he will attack Israel and Jerusalem,
and then Jesus returns to Earth. (Maybe in September–October 2033,
see End of Time in When Did Jesus Die and When Was He Born?)
Who is the End Time Antichrist?
The United States is a revived
Roman empire. It will transform into a
nationalistic
nation ruled by Antichrist as its president for life. He is alive and active today.
He will rule the entire world during the Great Tribulation. He will:
- Come in his own name (John 5:43).
- Have the mouth of a lion (Rev 13:2a).
- Elevate himself above others (Dan 8:25b, 11:36a).
- Be boastful (Dan 7:20b, Rev 13:5).
- Be a pathological liar (throwing truths to the ground) (Dan 8:12b).
- Deny God the Father and the Son (Jesus)
(Rev 13:6, 1 John 2:22, Dan 7:25),
see Trump Proclaims Jesus and Donald Trump and Jesus Christ. - Be a vile and evil person (Dan 11:21, 2 Thess 2:8a).
- Love gold and money (Dan 11:38, 1 Tim 6:10).
- Be called the little horn (Dan 8:9).
- Strengthen a covenant between Israel and many other nations (Dan 9:27).
- Disguise himself as a force for good (2 Cor 11:14–15).
- revealed through the apostasy (falling away)
(2 Thess 2:3, 9–12, 2 Tim 4:3–4). - Have the ego to call himself God (being the Savior of mankind)
(2 Thess 2:4). - Succeed in whatever he does (until Jesus returns) (Dan 8:12c, 24).
- Be a descendant of the Assyrian people (Mica 5:6b) and
Ancient Rome (Dan 9:26b).
Who is the End Time False Prophet?
A strong candidate to be the False Prophet is the last pope before
Jesus returns,
the religious leader of the Catholic church, see
The Roman Catholic Church.
He will have his focus on
nationalism and have a close relationship with Antichrist. It's unknown when in time the False Prophet will emerge as the Antichrist's close companion. It could be in the middle of the seven-year Tribulation period. He will:
- appear gentle and peaceful (Rev 13:11–13, Mat 7:15),
- trying to make the world worship the beast (Rev 13:14–15, 19:20b).
