From the Rapture to Second Coming

The point of the rapture, where all believers in Jesus leave the earth and nonbelievers stay, kicks off a seven-year tribulation period. This period is known as Daniel's 70th week, where a week equates to seven years. The tribulation is divided into two equal time periods with the Antichrist's revealing himself delineating the two periods. In the first half, called the tribulation, The Antichrist starts by negotiating a peace agreement between Israel and its neighbors. During this time there will be seven judgments inflicted on those who were not raptured, also known as the Seal Judgments. Three and a half years into the tribulation the Antichrist suffers a mortal head wound but miraculously comes back to life. It's at this point where his true nature is shown and he unleashes hell on earth. This period is called the Great Tribulation and is accompanied by seven trumpet judgements then seven bowl judgments. At the end of the seven-year period Jesus returns to earth, throws the Antichrist and False Prophet into the lake of fire, and binds Satan for a thousand years. Jesus then establishes heaven on earth where there will be no mourning, crying or pain. (NOTE: The above assumes a pre-tribulation perspective, where the rapture happens prior to the tribulation period. Other points of view include the rapture occurring in the middle of the tribulation period (mid-tribulation) and the rapture occurring at the end of the tribulation period (post-tribulation)).
Events leading up to the Tribulation

  • The Rapture - 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 - For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

They will give gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth.  (WEB)
