30 AD-2016 History
20 Seven Churches
The Church Age begins on
Pentecost ~27-33 AD and ends on
Trumpets in ~2020-2030. The Revelation of Jesus Christ was written to seven first-century churches in the province of Asia Minor (Turkey). Prophetically, the churches are seven sequential periods of the
Church Age (
Revelation 1:11).
19 Four Horses
Revelation 6 describes four horses of the apocalypse. Red is communism, the horse of war. Black is capitalism, the horse of trade. Green is Islam, the horse of false religion. White is apostasy, the horse of conquest. By the middle of the Tribulation, Antichrist merges the political, religious and economic horses into the Beast (
Revelation 6:4).
18 Five Trumpets
Revelation 8-9, 11 describe seven trumpets and seven wars. In over a hundred years, we saw five wars before the Tribulation: World War I & II, Cold War, Iraq War I & II. God gave Noah 120 years of warning before the flood and gave us 120 years before the end of humanity's rule (
Revelation 8:7).
17 Israel Independence Day
On the 5th of
Iyar (May 14, 1948) after 2000 years, Israel became a nation. Palestinians refused land and the Arab-Israeli War began. Afterward, Israel controlled 77 percent of territory (Green Line) while Egypt took Gaza and Jordan took Judea and Samaria (West Bank) (
Isaiah 66:8).
16 European Union
On May 9, 1950, French foreign minister Robert Schuman proposed to merger French and West German coal and steel under one authority. This lead to the European Coal and Steel Community in 1952, European Economic Community in 1958 and European Union in 1993. Europe leads the world during the Tribulation (
Revelation 13:1-2;
Revelation 17:12-13).
15 Jerusalem Reunited
On the 28th of
Iyar, Ascension Day (June 7, 1967) during the Six-Day War, Israel captured the Old City including the Temple Mount and reunited Jerusalem. In the future, Jerusalem will be the capital of the world (
2 Chronicles 6:6).
14 German Reunification
On November 9, 1989 (1260 + 30), the Berlin Wall fell along with Soviet influence on Eastern Europe. On October 3, 1990 (
Tabernacles), East and West Germany were reunited. The wounded head (nation) was healed (
Revelation 13:3). Antichrist rules the Beast. See
Daniel's Dream.
