What has to happen before Jesus comes back Based solely on scripture

What HAS to happen before Jesus comes back based solely on scripture

First  A worldwide breakdown in character 2Timothy 3:1-4

**Mark 13,  Luke 21 and Matthew 24 all account what would occur in the same sequential order starting with:
*Increase in False Christianity. Matthew 24:11 And many false prophets will arise and deceive many"
*Wars increase: Wars and Rumours of wars include acts of terrorism, riots, civil disobedience.
Matthew 24:6-7"Nations against nations and kingdoms against kingdoms" giving us a better description that is not just civil wars inside singular countries but rather Multiple country wars or even possibly World wars.
*Famines always follow War- Represented by the Black Horse in Revelation Worldwide Famine.
*Pestilence --Death is represented by the Pale Horse. Revelation 6:8 gives us specifics that 1 in 4 people will die
*Economic troubles: depression/hyperinflation: Revelation 6:6 "And I heard a voice in the midst of the 4 beasts say "A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny, and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine"

*"And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilence and
fearful sights and Great signs shall there be from the heavens"Luke 21:11

*Mentions beasts of the Earth - but not alot of description as to what that entails

Earthquakes and volcanoes will occur throughout this time and is mentioned before and after famine and pestilence in all three books mentioned above.

*Gospel being preached among all nations Mark 13:10 "And the gospel must first be published among the nations"  Matthew 24:14 " And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations: and then shall the end come"

*Brother will betray brother, and children shall rise up against their parents Mark 13:12 Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son: and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death" 

Christians will be hated Matthew 24:9 "then they shall deliver you to be afflicted and shall kill you; and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake"

*False prophet will come on the world scene--Will cause great signs to deceive even the elect

*Armies surround Jerusalem Luke 21:20"And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh."

*Abomination of Desolation (Declare himself to be God and worthy of worship) Mark 13:14 "But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel the prophet standing where it ought not (let him that readeth understand) and let them that be in Judea flee to the mountains"

*Gods people are told to flee to the mountains Luke 21:21 "Then let them which are in Judea flee to the mountains"

*Two witnesses arrive

*Great Tribulation begins With it comes:

*Astronomical signs ,Great Earthquake
Revelation 6:12 "And I beheld when he opened the sixth seal,and lo,  there was a great earthquake, and the sun became as black as sackcloth of hair and moon became as blood and the stars of heaven fell to the earth,... and the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together: and every mountain and island were moved out of their place.


*The sun will be Darkened, the moon will lose its light Matthew 24:9 "Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heaven shall be shaken"

*The Year of Gods Wrath begins Revelation 6:17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

*7th Seal opens Revelation 8:1-2 "And when he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour. And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets"

*Seven trumpets include hail and fire mingled with blood, 1/3 of trees burnt up, all green grass burnt, 2 great mountain burning with fire cast into the sea 1/3 of sea became bloody and 1/3 creatures died, 3 A great star falls from the heavens burning as a lamp and fell upon 1/3 of the rivers. Star is called Wormwood, 4 1/3 part of the sun smitten and darkened and days shone not for a 1/3 of it. 5th to 7th trumpets referred to as "woes" 5th trumpet sounds and stars fall from heaven, locusts out of the pit to torment 5 months those without the seal of God in their foreheads, 6 Loose the 4 angels bound at River Euphrates to slay 1/3 all of remaining mankind and the 7th trumpet says in Revelation 10:4 "Seal up those things that the seven thunders uttered and write them not"

*Then Vials or (Bowl Judgements to be more accurately termed) poured out on the world Revelation 16:1 And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth"

*Another great earthquake, Revelation 16:18 "And there were voices and thunder and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake and so great"100 lb hailstones Revelation 16:21And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of hail for the plague thereof is exceedingly great"

*7 plagues Revelation 18:8"Therefore shall her plagues come in one day,death, and mourning and famine and she  shall be utterly burned with fire, for stong is the Lord who judgeth her"

*The seventh trumpet blows.....Jesus himself appears with the clouds

*There will be no battle. Armageddon is mentioned only once.Revelation 16:16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.  Revelation 16:17"And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven from the throne saying IT IS DONE"

*Followers walk with Jesus for 1000 years while others sleep.Revelation 20:4 "they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years" 
*Revelation 20:5"The rest of the dead lived not again until the 1000 years were finished" The dead will be raised after 1000 years.

The Bible is clear that we will recieve our inheritance on earth.....*Matthew 5:5"The meek shall inherit the earth"...our inheritance is on earth.
There are differing views but there is no biblical scripture that states that we go to heaven. We are changed and lifted up but once Christ is now here for all eyes to see Revelation 20:1-6 "
And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. ² And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, ³ and cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
⁴ And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. ⁵ But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. ⁶ Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years."
*Revelation 20:7-8"And when the thousand years have expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison and shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog to gather them together to battle"  This is the final test. For a 1000 years we have been walking with Christ and being righteous but with no evil to tempt us. That is why Satan was released one final time. So righteousness really is a choice once and for all.  Some sadly will follow Satan even after everything they know and have seen, just as the angels did. But this choice will be eternal damnation just as the punishment of the fallen angels. No more second chances No more grace. Revelation 20:9"And fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured them"  There will be no physical battle here either. The devil who deceives them will be cast into the lake of fire where the false prophet and the beast are. They will burn in the lake of fire to be tormented day and night forever and ever.  All others will be exterminated or cease to exist any longer.

*Follows is a New City of Jerusalem- A new heaven and new earth: Revelation 21:1 "And I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God,out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband"

I think its past the point of ignoring any longer. The signs are obvious, take a look outside, open a world news site, pay attention to the global economy

What do you think?Are we the people living in this very time, the generation Jesus was referring to?
