Classic Premillennialism with a Focus on Israel

This chart attempts to graphically illustrate the classic or historical premillennial view with specific attempt to reconcile the Olivet Discourse (Matthew 24-25, Mark 13) and the book of Revelation especially chapters 19-21. The "T" represents Daniel's 70th Week which includes Jacob's (Israel's) Trouble. The "R" represents the gathering of God's elect who are alive when Christ returns before the Battle of Armageddon (1 Thessalonians 4.17). Although the chart does not illustrate it well the fullness of the Gentiles does not end before Jacob's Trouble but instead includes it (Luke 21.24). The Marriage Supper of the Lamb occurs after Satan is bound and is the inauguration celebration of the Kingdom of God on this earth (Matthew 22). The chart assumes an ongoing judgement in heaven of those who die which is an inference from Hebrews 9.27.
