The events of Revelation 6 to 19 could unfold over a flexible period, culminating around 2060. The seals begin to open in the 1940s, marked by World War II as the Fourth Horseman. The Fifth Seal, representing martyrdom and persecution, spans several decades, stretching from the late 1940s to the early 2040s. By approximately 2044, the Sixth Seal brings widespread global chaos with natural disasters, along with the sealing of the 144,000. The timeline for the Trumpet Judgments could start as early as the mid-2040s, with events such as ecological disasters, fire, hail, and cosmic upheaval occurring in stages and potentially continuing into the early 2050s. These disasters lead to significant devastation, possibly taking several years to fully manifest.
By the late 2040s to early 2050s, the rise of the Antichrist begins, with his power consolidating and culminating around 2057, when the 666 system is fully enforced globally. This period of the Antichrist's dominance may last for several years, triggering increased persecution and suffering for those who resist the system. The Bowls of Wrath, starting around 2057, may unfold rapidly or over several years, intensifying divine judgment on the Antichrist's kingdom. The judgments grow increasingly severe, with widespread destruction and the collapse of the Beast's power. By 2060, Christ returns to defeat the Antichrist, marking the end of the tribulation and ushering in a new era.
The margins of error in this timeline allow for some events, such as the Trumpets and Bowls of Wrath, to either overlap or be spaced apart, depending on how quickly divine judgments unfold. While the major events are anchored around key dates like 2044 for the Sixth Seal, 2057 for the reign of the Antichrist, and 2060 for Christ’s return, the overall progression of events may vary, with pauses or rapid developments depending on the interpretation. This allows for some flexibility in how the timeline could unfold, while maintaining the general structure of Revelation’s apocalyptic narrative.
