I spent some more time doing research regarding my initial question on "end time" thoughts.
Below is a link that is a good indicator to what I was originally inquiring about an end time timeline.

As I consider everyone's comments I can see how the scriptures suggested and a look at current history could fit into sections of the chart.
Does anyone have a straightforward answer as to what is the purpose of the new heaven and the new earth? Somehow that piece is a little fuzzy to me. Why would we need a new heaven and a new earth after we have been raptured into heaven?
