text: No one can know when the end will come (Matt 24:36).  So the only Biblical answer about when the end times will come is "soon" (Rev 22:7, 12, 20).  "Soon" is the Greek "tachu" which can mean "shortly or soon" but also "quickly, suddenly, unexpectantly".  \n\nGod has wanted Christians to live as if Christ could return anyday.  That's why the end times will come without warning.  Although, there are many, many signs that the "season" is close at hand.\n\nMy personal view of how it will unfold (I am a teacher of prophecy, end times, Revelation for the past 5 years):\n\n1) Rapture of the church\n2) Start of the 7 year "tribulation"\n3) Christ returns to earth\n4) Christ sets up his kingdom; 1000 year reign on earth\n5) Great white throne judgment for the lost\n6) New Heaven and New Earth\n\nAnd yes, I am ready.  God bless
