These are the Events of End-times
1) The rapture of not all Christians, just overcomer believers, because the church is ready to first be received for the firstfruits (Rev. 7.9, 14.1-5, Matt. 24.37,40-41,42). Those who believe the rapture will be the whole church will enter into the Tribulation. They won't think it is the Tribulation, because they assumed they would have been raptured if it was, so they will be deceived. This shows they are not Christians. They may even question their original belief and receive Christ into their lives in the Tribulation, but since they said the church would be raptured, and they were not, then according to them, they admit, they would not be members of the body of Christ, so let us take them on their word, and God will let them have their way in their unwitting claim they are not saved. God will let them have their reasoning, that they are not the church if they are not raptured before the Tribulation. Similarly, those who say they will only be raptured at the end of the Tribulation or before the wrath of the 3rd woe, will also be deceived because they hardened themselves and took away the hope of the church to be received at the first rapture according readiness, for with the hope of the return of Christ comes with it being received; and if ready not to have to go through the time of testing. This hardening will bear out in the Tribulation when they find they don't have the strength to continue in their faith as guilt sets in that they had forsaken rewards of reigning with Christ and as they sought ought the Antichrist first. It will be a very trying time for many so-called Christian souls because they were in fact never born-again.
The truth is that only overcomer believers are first raptured (Rev. 3.10, Luke 21.36), those who "overcometh" mentioned 7 times in Rev. 2 & 3.
Those who are raptured at the first rapture are certainly those who are ready to be received and overcometh, but not all those who are overcometh are in the first rapture. Hence, the Bible uses the term "first resurrection" in Rev. 20.5 to indicate everyone who overcomeths, whether raptured alive at the first rapture or at the last trumpet or during the Tribulation as martyrs three and half days after they die like the two witnesses.
2) Once this occurs, the world reacts to explain it away and the Antichrist provides a satisfying answer when he brokers a peace treaty between Israel and antisemites and Muslims. Underneath realize the tensions of other faiths are increasing because Bible prophecy is happening right before their eyes, especially Islam (Ishmael) against Israel (Jacob) gaining a stronger foothold in its own land. The dome on the rock is removed and the temple is reconstructed. This infuriates Muslims because this is the site they say Mohammed was raptured from. Israel today is prepared to have the Temple rebuilt in about 8 months or as the Bible says 2300 days.
The Antichrist will not be able to refuse the beauty of the Temple so he chooses to reign from there. The False Prophet, second in command for Satan, will construct an image of the Antichrist who had died, but came back to life. The image will speak and have facial expressions, perhaps through powerful computer processing and holographics. He will be placed in the temple to desecrate it, and broadcast his words around the world, the most powerful words to the human race very convincingly. But Satan is the father of lies.
3) The earth is hurt quite a bit during the first three and a half years of the Tribulation in the first 4 trumpets. This causes tension, and the Antichrist reacts by breaking the treaty to place the world's forces against Israel to be blamed yet again and due to jealousy that Israel was the first nation God revealed Himself to. Great war ensues (Rev. 9.16,18). One third of the people of the earth will die in nuclear holocaust all over the world-wide war and an army of 200 million machines will congregate in the middle east. This battle takes place in the middle east but finalizes at Mediggo plains which is in Northern Israel and is a wide-open are approximately 200 miles across to house so many machines! I am not certain yet, but it is possible nuclear bombs will destroy them all on this plain valley of death.
Israel nonetheless will lose the battle and its city of Jerusalem is overrun for a very short while. A remnant Israel flees in the wilderness protected in the deep crevices of underground cities in the rocks about 100 miles away which can house thousands and thousands of Jews. Satan tries to chase them down, but he fails. When Christ returns, they come out of their hiding in the wilderness to return to reclaim their homes. The very prospect alone of Christ returning will shake the earth to its very core. And Israel will not believe until His return, for Jesus said, "Oh Jerusalem...I tell you, you will not see me until you say, 'Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord'." (Matt. 23.39) However, on this day, Israel will not reign as kings and priests, for this honor is given to overcomer believers. Israel is the nation of all nations Christ will reign from, but those who reign with Christ are those who overcometh in Christ.
4) Christ returns to defeat the bad nations (Matt. 25.31-46) in the outcome of it all and to reign from the Temple in Jerusalem for 1000 years in Person. The people of the world in their independency from God wake up to the fact that they were created by the supernatural and only uncreated being called the Trinity. The people of the world, especially those who take the computer chip mark of the beast implant will not repent. They mourn the Bible says and seek to destroy Jesus in His comnig. When Jesus returns it is through His word that the battle ends. He does not come back with more weapons. He might just say "Peace, be still" at the battle of Armegeddon.
5) Even still, many will not believe in the millennium too when they are in it. So that is why at the end of the 1000 years Satan is let loose for a short while to show man still yet had some hidden sin, that Satan will never repent, and God's good pleasure.
The day of the Lord is the whole period from when His parousia begins at the first rapture when the saints are raised up to meet the Lord at His throne (Rev. 7.9), the war in heaven to cast out Satan from 2nd heaven, to Jesus coming in the clouds at the start of the Tribulation, then on the clouds in His glory, then to meet the saints in the air at the last trumpet (1 Cor. 15.23, 1 Thess. 4.15-17) and then to step down on the mount of olives (Zech. 14.4) just as He had left (Acts 1.11, Rev. 1.7) when He returns with His saints (holy myriads) (Jude 14,15).
After the 1000 years, some more things happen and what will happen in eternity future which the Bible discloses also. If you want to know, just ask. Christians know everything that matters that God wants us to know: from the uncreated's decision to create to eternity future.
