This page is a collection of prophecy charts that I created to help myself
understand the events of Bible prophecy and where they are at in the timeline
of earth history. Bible prophecy focuses mostly on events that happen in
earth space-time, and so these linear charts represent my understanding
of the order of events
from various places throughout scripture.
Some of the charts on this
page have links on the images to take you on further Bible studies and scriptures
that are in the charts. The newer charts are probably best viewed in PDF
for easy zooming and scrolling as they are somewhat larger.
PDF Tip: use your scroll wheel
to scroll up and down. Holding CTRL while scrolling will zoom in and
out, while holding SHIFT and scrolling will scroll left and right.
Feel free to print and/or distribute the charts, simply click on the

HIStory, Our Future: History
This chart lays out some of the Biblical prophecies from history in a
timeline that are covered in greater detail in the
HIStory, Our Future collection of Bible studies. Several areas on the
chart below can be clicked on to link to the corresponding Bible study explaining
in greater detail. This collection of studies had originally lead me to
believe that Rosh Hoshana 2005 held some significance, but what that is
if anything I don’t know. It seemed that the timing pointed to
something, but that understanding was either flawed or misunderstood.
I’ve kept the baseline studies on the site.

for the following kings:
538-530 BC - 9 years of Cyrus
529-522 BC - 8 years of Cambyses

HIStory, Our Future: 70th Week of Daniel & Moedim
This is the latest version of the 70th week charts, and what will be
most up-to-date. This brings together
the study of
the
moedim, or appointed times, given to Israel and how those appear to
tie into the prophetic future as well as the framework of the 70th week
itself.
Visions of Daniel and John
This was the result of a study of the visions of Daniel and John that
I did. I decided to try and map out, for my own understanding, the
timeline of each prophet's vision in history according to the backdrop
of the 8 heads of the beast that they both saw. It brings the vision and
interpretation from scripture in line with the historical record and
comments to lay out the prophetic timeline.
This revealed some incredible parallels, such as the foreshadow of
the antichrist coming from a fourth kingdom and referred to as a little
horn. Likewise the future antichrist comes from a fourth beast and is a
little horn. This seems to make a point of tying the foreshadow to the
ultimate fulfillment to give us understanding of the abomination of
desolation and its role in the emergence of the man of sin.
Related Scriptures in the Prophetic Timeline
In putting together relevant scriptures into the timeline of Bible prophecy,
I decided I needed a chart to help visualize these events and when scripture
said they occur. The numbers in parenthesis are numbers of days. These are
from the exact-day prophecies of Daniel and John that give the framework
for the 70th week of Daniel.
Harpazo Timing From Framework of the 70th
Week of Daniel
This chart focuses on my thoughts on the timing of the
harpazo according to the framework set in scripture defining the
time of great tribulation.
Framework of the Last Half of the 70th Week
of Daniel
This chart focuses on the last 1290 days of the 70th week
of Daniel. This time begins at the abomination of desolation and extends
to the end of the 70th week.
The Seals, Trumpets & Bowls
This chart lays out very basically the placement of the
seals, trumpets & bowls in the timeline of Bible prophecy. If you
read through the Bible study on this topic, you can see that the seals are
separate and before the trumpets and the bowls are part of the seventh trumpet,
the third woe. As with many things related to the coming of the end, these
judgments (trumpets and bowls) increase in frequency and intensity like
birth pangs.
The Timing of the Abomination of Desolation
I created this chart to help show clearly where I see the division of the great tribulation,
when it begins and when it ends as well as the timing of the abomination
of desolation, which starts the great tribulation. It’s important
to note that the Bible contains very specific and precise prophesies and
that them being there and working in conjunction with other thousand-year-old
prophesies elsewhere in that collection of 66 books by 40 different authors
over thousands of years would lend some kind of importance to what they
might be saying about God’s design for our future. In fact, when putting
them all together connected by events, the following relationships are made
clear.
The beginning of the extreme persecution of God’s people begins
at the
abomination of desolation and begins a 1290-day period of time. The
first 1260 days of that time is the length of the antichrist’s reign
and persecution of the saints Christ called the time of
great tribulation. Matthew 24:15-22 This is connected to Daniel and
the prophesied persecution of God’s people for that same time that
the antichrist is attacking God’s people. This is also the same time
that the dragon gives power to the antichrist and that Jerusalem is trampled
by the Gentiles (Revelation 11:1,2 - Not included in the chart above.) We
know also that the antichrist’s power and reign is taken away by Christ
upon His return in glory. Revelation 19:11-21 This is 30 days before the
1290 days is up from Daniel 12:11-13.
We also see a time period also of 1260 days that cannot be connected
to the abomination of desolation because the great tribulation begins with
the
time of Jacob’s trouble, the reason Christ warned those in Judea
to flee to the mountains, only Judea is warned. We see the reason
for this attack as the dragon’s hatred for the nation of Israel in
Revelation 12:13-17 where we also see that this time period marks a specific
protection from the dragon. So that 1260 days must not begin until some
time after the abomination of desolation has happened and after
the woman, Israel, flees to the mountains to be taken to the wilderness
and protected. Since Christ returns in glory 30 days before the 1290 days
is up, I believe that the time that is cut short for the elect’s sake
is the time of Jacob’s trouble and that protection will begin around
30 days or less after the abomination of desolation as a result of the remaining
of Israel in Judea fleeing as warned by the Messiah. Zechariah 13:8,9
The Two Witnesses
What I believe this shows us is that the
two witnesses are killed some time before the
seventh trumpet. Given
what scripture says about Apollyon and how he comes from the bottomless
pit, I believe it is possible that is when the two witnesses are killed.
If that is at least five months before Christ returns in glory, that
would look something like this.
The Beast of Revelation
This chart isn’t really related to timing so much as matching historical
record with symbology in Bible prophecy.
Daniel 2,
Daniel 7, Revelation 13 and Revelation 17 all cover multiple aspects
of the beast government and religion in the end times. This chart is my
current understanding of who these symbols in Bible prophecy represent.
As you can see it is still a work in progress. If you have some information
that may assist in completing this chart,
I would be very interested in hearing it.

from those lands were imported to Samaria by the Assyrians. Thus, the
Israelites of the Northern Kingdom were dispersed amongst the nations,
assimilated into new cultures, and eventually became unaware as to their
original identity. They never returned, in mass, to the land of Israel.

705-681 BC Sennacherib (in
Akkadian Sîn-ahhe-eriba “(The moon god)
Sîn has Replaced (Lost) Brothers for Me”) was the son of Sargon
II, whom he succeeded on the throne of Assyria (705 BC–681 BC). In 701
BC, a rebellion backed by Egypt and Babylonia broke out in Judah and
was led by Hezekiah. Sennacherib was able to sack many cities in Judah.
He laid siege to Jerusalem, but soon returned to Nineveh, with Jerusalem
not having been sacked. This famous event was recorded by Sennacherib
himself, by Herodotus, and by several Biblical writers. According to
the Bible, the siege failed, as the angel of Jehovah went forth and
struck down 185,000 men in the Assyrian camp (2 Kings 19:35). Some of
the Assyrian chronicles, such as the stone carved Taylor prism now preserved
in the British Museum, date from very close to the time.[citation needed][The
Taylor Prism itself has the date “the month of Tammuz; eponym
of Galihu, governor of Hatarikka” which is Tammuz, and 689 BC,
according to the Assyrian Eponym List]. The Assyrian accounts do not
treat it as a disaster, but a great victory, not telling about the final
outcome - they maintain that the siege was so successful that Hezekiah
was forced to give a monetary tribute, and so the Assyrians left victoriously,
without losses of thousands of men. Part of this is indeed confirmed
in the Biblical account, but it is still debated fiercely by historians.
In the Taylor Prism, Sennacherib states that he had shut up Hezekiah
the Judahite within Jerusalem, his own royal city, like a caged bird.
