Alright. There is disagreement between unsaved and saved about the endtimes. There is even disagreements between a couple groups Christians. I want to cover the basics. If there are Christians out there who know a lot about this, please email me what you know. I would like other peoples views. This is what I think will happen at the endtimes.
The Rature
Many people in the world are Christians. There are more though who are not. When the Rapture comes, Christ, our Savior, will return, and in mid-air take those who believe up to be with Him in heaven. It will happen in a blink of an eye, so you could be talking to a Christian friend and the next minute they're gone. All the saved will be taken up. Then, afterwards, there will be a treaty with Israel and a world leader. That ushers in the second stage, the seven year long Tribulation.
The Tribulation
There are several parts to the Tribulation because there is a series of judgments that God brings to earth. The first is the seven seal judgments. During this time, there will be 144,000 Jews and a great host of non-Jews who get saved. They willspread God's word and try to get as many people to believe before it is too late. I believe that if you reject God before this time, you won't get a second chance.
The Seven Seals
This is the first of the three groups of judgments. During this time, the Christians will be having the Marriage Supper of the Lamb and the Judgment Seat of Christ. I will explain those later. The first of the seven seals is called the White Horse. It symbolizes that rise ofthe Antichrist. Someone will be a world leader. He will come to conquer. Once the Antichrist has the world willingly under his control, the next horse will come. The second seal: the Red Horse. It symbolizes World War 3 at least in my opinion. There will be those who want democracy and want the Antichrist gone. They'll finght against him and a world war will begin. After the great World War, the nest seal will come. The third seal, the Black Horse, represents famine and diseases resulting from the World War. The fourth seal, and we're only half way through the first part, is the Pale Horse which means death. "And I looked and behold a pale horse: and his name was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth." Revelation 6:8. In the first four seals alone a quarter of the world's popualtion will die. The saved and unsaved will die. The difference is that the saved have a pleasent ending. The unsaved do not. The fifth seal is one people won't see from earth. "...I saw under the altar the sould of them that were slain fr the word of God, and for the testimony which they held." You on earth won't see that the altar and will not see them each getting white robes and told to rest. The next seal is the great earthquake. The sun will turn black and the moon will turn to blood. There will be meteors, that's what I think, that will strike the earth during this time. Several of them. This isn't a local earthquake. There will be earthquakes all around the world all happening at the same time. People will hide in caves and mountains, and because of the horrible sight, people will beg to die. They won't want to suffer. They'll beg for the rocks to fall on them so they can't see God. Who will be able to stand against such an earthquake. The seventh and final seal will be after the marking of the Triblation saints. They will marked on their foreheads. The judgements will not harm the earth, trees, or sea before the servants of God are marked. The seventh seal will be a silence in heaven for half an hour then voices, judgment, and an earthquake.
The Seven Trumpets
After the seven seals, there will be seven trumpets that sound the judgments. The first will be hail and fire and blood will rain down on the earth. All the grass and a third of the trees will be destroyed. The second will be of a burning mountain, which I think is a meteor, landing into the sea and turning a third of the world's water into blood. One third of the sea creatures will die and a third of hte world's ships sunk. The third trumpet will be a star from heaven called Wormwood which will poison a third of the earth's rivers and fountains of water. Anyone who drinks will die. The fourth trumpet will be a attack against the sun, moon, and stars. The sun will only shine for two-thirds of the day and will only shine two-thirds as bright. The moon and stars as well. The fifth will be locusts from the bottemless pit. They will be like scorpions. They cannot hurt any plant but will only hurt the unsaved that don't have marks on they foreheads. The poison will make the unsaved suffer so much that they will beg to die, but they won't be able to. They will suffer like that for five months. The locusts are horrible creatures. They look like armored horses with heads of men, hair of women, crowns of gold, teeth of lions, breastplates, and the sound of their wings was like chariots rumbling to battle. They had tails of scorpions, and their king was the angel of the bottemless pit which is Abaddon in Hewbrew or Apollyon in Greek. The sixth will be four angels that are set loose. At a certain day, month, and hour they will slay one-third on mankind. There will be two witnesses who will proclaim God's will on earth throughout this time. Some will try to kill them, but they will only die at the time God wants them too. God gave them power to prophesy and burn all those who try to hurt them before the right time. They will have the power to stop rain and to turn water into blood. They will be able to smite the world with plagues as often as they want. They will be a testimony and will only die when the beast of the bottemless pit kills them. Their bodies will be in Jerusalem, and the people in earth will be glad that they are dead. Everyone on earth will see their bodies for three and a half days. Their bodies will not be put in graves. The people will be glad because their tormentors are dead, but they will be raised from the dead after three and a half days. Then they'll go up into heaven. Afterwards there will be a great earthquake and 1/10 of Jerusalem will fall and kill seven thousand men. The seventh trumpet will be the great voices from heaven saying, "...The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of His Christ; and He shall reign for ever and ever." Revelation 11:15. The elders in heaven will worship God. The nations of earth will be angry, and the temple of God opened in heaven and there will be lightning, thunder, voices, hail, and an earthquake. Afterwards, there will be a beast that forces everyone to have a mark with the number 666 on their right hand or forehead. No one can buy or sell without it. He will deceive people and make them think that he is good.
The Harvest of the World
There are 144,000 people who will be saved during the Tribulation. They will not be defiled and they will learn a new song to sing to the Lord. They all will have marks on their heads.
The Seven Vials
These are also called the vials of wrath. These are the last set of judgments before the Battle of Armageddon which will take place in the valley of Meddigo. The first of these vials will be the appearance of sores upon those who have the mark of the beast. These sore will be grievous and noisome. The second will be the entire sea turn into blood killing everything that lives in it. The third is similar. It will turn all the rivers and fountain waters, which is lakes, springs, so on, into blood. The fourth will make the sun scorch the men with the mark of the beast by great heat. The fifth will be will fill the kingdom of the beast with darkness and pain. The sixth will dry up the Euphrates River. The false prophet, the beast, and the dragon that was defeated and sent away from heaven unleased devils, worked "miracles", and gathered the people to fight against God. The seventh and final judgement in the seven years of the Tribulation will be voices, lightning, thunder, and an earthqukae greater than all the earthquakes previous. Jerusalem will be divided into three parts because of this and entire cities will fall. All the islands went away and the mountains will not be found. Then hail willl fall from heaven, and they'll be as big as a talent which weighs from 57-71 pounds. The people will blasphemy or mock God even more even though the only way to survive is to believe and praise Him. The great city of Babylon will fall.
The Battle of Armageddon
The unsaved people in this world will join together with the Antichrist and the false prophet and try to defeat Jesus' army. The beast will be taken and defeated. The false prophet too. They will both be cast into the lake of fire filled with burning brimstone. The armies will be killed. The birds of the air will eat their flesh. Satan then will be bound for a thousand years in the bottemless pit.
The Millenium
Christ will return to earth and establish his kingdom. the saved will return as well, that's what I think, and live under Jesus' perfect reign. The unsaved will see how wrong they were to deny such a wonderful Savior. Then, Satan will be set free at the end of these thousand years. Satan will deceive countries at the four corners of the world. The army will be like the sands of the sea shore. They will surround the city of the saints, but God will send fire from heaven and destroy them all. The devil will be cast into the lake of fire with the false prophet and the beast. There they will be tormented for ever and ever.
The Great White Throne Judgment
God will then judge the dead to see if their name is in the Lamb's book of Life. Everyone, big and small, will be there. The saved have already been given their rewards for grasping the truth. Now, it is the unsaved's turn. They'll be judged by their works. The people which died in the sea will be there. Those who are in hell will be there. And all will be judged. the death and hell were cast into the lake of fire because God will make a new world without sin and death. There will be no need for a hell. This will be the second death for those who are unsaved. Those who aren't in the Book of Life will be cast into the lake of fire and be tormented for eternity which is a really long time. If you are unsaved, that's the end for you. That's all you have to look forward too. You'll have the chance to see your Creator face-to-face, but you will end up in the lake of fire. Is that what you really want? To be tormented forever? The saved have a much better future to look forward to. Don't believe me? Once the next page is out, take a look. It is the saved people's point of view. Compare it to yours. Which one do you prefer?
Hello readers! I am a girl with an overactive imagination and some random hyperactive bursts. I get it from my six year old brother. Writing and reading are two things I do a lot.

Just ask and if I like it and it is reasonable, I'll put it onto my blog! I may be a little childish at times, but hey, that's how I am. Look around to see what I've made! Enjoy!
