Epilogue

 A Chronological Outline

In the Introduction to this book I wrote that my conclusions are derived from five essential Bible doctrines (discussed at length in the book, Jesus: The Alpha and The Omega) and four self-evident rules of interpretation which are found in the book of Daniel.

Chronological order is a critical part of apocalyptic prophecy because God Himself has declared the order of events within each prophecy.  The human challenge is to properly divide the books of Daniel and Revelation into distinct prophecies so that religious bias or personal whim does not manipulate God’s chronology.  God has declared the divine order in the books of Daniel and Revelation.  If God’s declaration is not true, two insurmountable problems would arise.  First, there is no authority on Earth who can tell the whole world what the order of coming events will be.  Second, without God providing His chronological order, confusion would reign and Bible students would not have confidence in “the more sure word of prophecy.”  Some people claim that God gave us prophecy so that we can see His providence after prophecy has been fulfilled.  My response to this argument is, “What is the point of understanding the mark of the beast after it is imposed?” Jesus told His disciples, “I have told you now before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe.”  (John 14:29, italics mine)

Over the years, people have asked for charts and outlines of coming events.  I have many charts available showing the relationships between the seventeen prophecies.  (See http://www.wake-up.org/Charts/ChartIndex.htm.)  Because of the huge quantity of information and the small paper size in this book, a comprehensive chart showing the alignment of all seventeen prophecies is not possible, but a simple, abbreviated chart is provide on pages 4-5.  I have also compressed the seventeen prophecies into two short verbal outlines.  Section I (taken from the book of Daniel) starts with the ancient empire of Nebuchadnezzar and extends to the Second Coming.  Section II (taken from the book of Revelation) starts with the birth of Jesus and extends to the end of the 1,000 years.
