What’s missing?
There is no mention of the judgement of the church saints, the Bema Seat
When does Armageddon occur?
There is no mention of the tribulation saints
There is no mention of the ‘sheep and goats’ judgement (Matthew 25)

Let’s re-list the above revelation verses, re-ordering the columns and including the missing end-times events:

brimstone
where the beast and the false prophet are.
The final judgement
Unfortunately,
the
Bible
doesn’t
provide
a
convenient
chronology
of
the
end-times.
After
the
rapture,
the
closest
we
get
is
Revelation
19:11-20:15,
from
Christ’s
second
coming
to
the
Great
White
Throne
Judgement,
but
there
are
gaps
in
this
chronology.
This is the timeline in Revelation 19:11-20:15 as we read it.
