THE BIBLICAL PROPHETIC TIMELINE
★ Course position: this atlas leans on the Eschatology course notes, which teach a literal, future, premillennial return of Christ with a pretribulational Rapture. Other views are shown for comparison.

Biblical History: The Big Picture
The chart used in the course: creation and the fall, Israel formed and the Law given, Christ's first coming, Pentecost and the Church Age, Israel reborn, the Rapture, seven years of Tribulation, the return of Christ, the 1,000-year Millennial Kingdom, Satan's last stand, the Great White Throne and eternity. The interactive timeline above follows the same course order when the ★ course view is selected.

Course Notes
Everything in the course notes, organized by topic. This is the position the rest of the atlas leans on. Scripture references are given as in the notes; a ⚑ marks a reference that is probably a typing slip, with the likely intended passage linked instead.
Major Prophetic Events
Every event in the atlas, by era. Each opens a study panel with Scripture, interpretations, notes and connections.
Frameworks and Approaches
Millennial position, Rapture timing and approach to Revelation are three separate questions. A person's answers combine; they are not competing items on one list.
Daniel's Prophecies
The book that supplies much of the vocabulary of later prophecy: kingdoms, the Son of Man, the seventy weeks, the abomination, and “time, times and half a time”.
The Olivet Discourse
The course study by Benjamin Moyowambuya comes first. Below it, eighteen sections compared across four readings, the parallel viewer, and the outline from the course notes.
Section by section · four readings compared
Book of Revelation
All 22 chapters with their main events and symbols, and how four interpretive approaches read each one. Literary order is not assumed to be chronological order.
Rapture and Second Coming
Six views on when believers are gathered to Christ. Select a view to see its sequence, its texts, its best arguments and the strongest objections to it.
Judgments and Resurrections
Whether Scripture describes several judgments and two resurrections, or one final judgment and one general resurrection seen from different angles, depends on the framework.
Biblical Covenants
How a reader understands the covenants, and the relation of Israel and the Church, drives most differences about the Millennium.
Scripture Explorer
Every passage cited in the atlas, in canonical order, with the events it connects to. Passage text opens in the World English Bible (public domain) on BibleGateway.
