The Judgement

"Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what they had done. Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire." -- Revelation 20v11-15

When will this be? The Book of Enoch tells us (if we combine it with the 458 BC decree of Artaxerxes to rebuild the Jerusalem Temple): circa 3032 AD

Approx timescale from Book of Enoch:
Creation of Adam c3950-40 BC
Flood c2550-40 BC
Abraham c1850-40 BC
Law c1150-40 BC
Second Temple c460-50 BC
The Final Judgement c3030-40 AD

But note too that it (Book of Enoch) says "in the tenth week in the seventh part" so 3030-3040 AD is the latest this could be and anytime between 2930/40 and 3030/40 would be in the seventh part of the tenth week. It is just that Jesus has not yet returned (He did say it might be at the eleventh hour - just before the latest time it could be) so His return could been in line with this prophesy at anytime from 1930/49 to 2030/40 AD - yet quite a lot needs to happen apocalytically first and there is little time left to keep in accord with the heavenly books from which Enoch was recounting.
