End Times Crib Sheet

A summary of the Kingdoms article, showing the essential Second Coming events in sequence. Additions are in {brackets}.

Events at the time Solomon came into his kingdom presage End Time events when Christ comes into his Kingdom.

Solomon was a type and foreshadower of Jesus. Both men were literally Princes of Peace. God’s promises to David about Solomon–to establish his throne forever, he to be David’s seed, he to build the house of the LORD, he to be God’s son–apply equally and ultimately to Jesus Christ.

The Great Tribulation of the End Times and the Seals of Revelation 6

In the days of David and Solomon, “Satan stood up against Israel…” <> In the Latter Days, “The Dragon [Satan] stood before the Woman [Church]…”

1^st Seal: King David, due to a Satan-inspired pride of power, mustered his whole army. <> In Revelation 6, the White Horse sets out to conquer: rising up of self-exalting false christs.

2^nd - 4^th Seals: David was confronted with “famine, sword, and plague;” <> the same as the 3^rd, 2^nd, and 4^th Seals of Rev. 6.

5^th Seal: Innocent Israelites were killed in David’s day; <> martyrs are slain in the Latter Days.

6^th Seal: In David’s day, the Angel of the LORD appeared to David and others, “standing between earth and heaven.” People fell on their faces and hid themselves, greatly afraid. God then cut short their period of tribulation. <> In the Latter Days, Christ appears “in the clouds.” People see his face; many hide themselves, greatly afraid. The Great Tribulation is cut short.

The Rapture(s)

David and his elders–the elect of Israel–were called to “go up” onto holy Mount Moriah. {After being sanctified “from heaven by fire,” they returned to work below. 1 Chr. 21:26} <> The 144,000–the elect Israel–are “caught up” to the heavenly Mount Zion. {After receiving “the seal of the living God,” they return to work below. Rev. 7:2f.; 9:1-4}

{David and the others found Ornan up on Mount Moriah; he had been “threshing wheat” in the presence of the Angel of the LORD. 1 Chr. 21:20-21 <> The Manchild of Rev. 12 has been “caught up” and has begun its (their) work some time before the Rapture of the elect. Rev. 12:5, 10-11}

David’s servants took up a virgin to his palace in Jerusalem. <> The Lord’s angelic servants take up the Virgin Church to the Father’s house in heavenly Jerusalem.

David “gathered together all the leaders of Israel,” and ordered their service on Earth before God. <> The Lord “gathers together his elect,” and orders their service in heaven before God.

The Era of Revelation’s Trumpets and the Beast

Adonijah exalted himself to be king over all Israel: this in direct defiance of King David and his court. <> The Beast of Revelation 13, via his “Mouth(piece),” exalts himself to be ruler over all nations: he openly defies God and his heavenly host.

Adonijah’s chief supporters were a renegade earthly priest, Abiathar, and a power-wielding strongman, Joab. <> The Beast’s chief supporters are a renegade heavenly priest, Satan, and the power-wielding False Prophet.

A trumpet was blown, Solomon was loudly proclaimed king, the earth shook. <> The 7^th Trumpet is blown, Christ is loudly proclaimed King, an earthquake folows.

The Era of Revelation’s Bowls and the Judgment of the Beast

After a period of time, Adonijah rose up once more. Solomon sentenced him and his strongman to death, and banished his rebellious allied priest. <> At the 6^th and 7^th Bowls, the Beast attempts his final usurpation. Christ sentences him and his strongman False Prophet to the second death, and banishes the renegade heavenly priest Satan to the Abyss.

The Millennial Temple

His kingdom then fully secured, Solomon built a great temple in Jerusalem. <> His Kingdom fully secured, Christ establishes a great temple in Jerusalem.
