In reality, God's wrath begins with the 1st Vial, and on the 6th Trumpet is what the plagues God's "two witnesses" will work against the beast is His wrath too. But God's 'final' wrath will be on the 7th Vial, 7th Trumpet, which wrath will literally destroy man's works off this earth and end this present world time, all done via God's consuming fire on the last day of this world. That is when Jesus showed He comes "as a thief" per Rev.16:15.
I agree that God's wrath begins with the 1st Vial and that God's final wrath will be on the 7th Vial. The beast v God's 2 witnesses is the time known as the great tribulation which occurs before the 1st Vial.
1 Cor 15
23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.
24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
Verse 23. Christians will be resurrected/raptured at Christ's second coming. We will reign with Jesus over mortals still on earth.
Verses 24-25 Jesus reigns on earth for 1000 years according to Rev 20. At the end of the 1000 years, Jesus will have put down all opposition to his kingdom on earth. Nobody who belongs to Jesus will die after those 1000 years.
Satan will come upon earth after those 1000 years and the mortals on earth will be killed. Rev 20:8-9
Verse 26 After all mortals have been died, death itself will be destroyed. Those who had died are alive before God's throne in Rev 20:12 as death is destroyed in Rev 20:14.
If mortals were not on earth during the 1000 years, Satan would have nobody to deceive and death would be under Jesus' feet at the start of the 1000 years, not at the end of those years.
Acts 3:20-21
20 And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you:
21 Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things (1000 years-Davidic Covenant) which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.
I'm staying strictly with the written Scripture.
1 Thess 5:2-3
2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
KJV
Paul was pulling the above from the Old Testament prophets about the final day of this present world time, which is over when Jesus comes. That "sudden destruction" is about the 7th Vial being poured out on the last day of this present world we are in now. And that destruction is what God's consuming fire is about that Peter mentioned for the same time Paul said...
The "Day of the Lord" refers to more than a single time. For example, the Day of the Lord also referred to the time of King Nebuchadnezzar.
Ez 30
3 For the day is near, even
the day of the Lord is near, a cloudy day; it shall be the time of the heathen.
4 And the sword shall come upon Egypt, and great pain shall be in Ethiopia, when the slain shall fall in Egypt, and they shall take away her multitude, and her foundations shall be broken down.
5 Ethiopia, and Libya, and Lydia, and all the mingled people, and Chub, and the men of the land that is in league, shall fall with them by the sword.
6 Thus saith the Lord; They also that uphold Egypt shall fall; and the pride of her power shall come down: from the tower of Syene shall they fall in it by the sword, saith the Lord God.
7 And they shall be desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate, and her cities shall be in the midst of the cities that are wasted.
8 And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I have set a fire in Egypt, and when all her helpers shall be destroyed.
9 In that day shall messengers go forth from me in ships to make the careless Ethiopians afraid, and great pain shall come upon them, as in the day of Egypt: for, lo, it cometh.
10 Thus saith the Lord God; I will also make the multitude of Egypt to cease by the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon.
1 Thes 5:2-3 is a time of the heathen. Israel will enter a time of peace in Daniel's 70th week. However, after 3.5 years, sudden destruction from AC will come upon them. This Day of the Lord refers to the period of great tribulation.
2 Peter 3:10
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
KJV
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. What 2nd Peter shows is the total annihilation of what God created. The only time that God's current creation goes away is Rev 21:1.
Then Lord Jesus showed that is when His coming is, that He comes "as a thief"...
Rev 16:15-17
15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
16 And He gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
17 And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.
KJV
Sorry, you can just try and move... that to after Christ's future "thousand years" reign. I really don't know where you even got that idea, lest you've fallen to ideas based on the old fale Gnostic doctrine of Amillennialism.
Jesus will come and it will be a surprise at the end of this age, before the millennium. It is just not the only thing that God has done that has taken the people by surprise.
When I say, end of the world, I mean this present 2nd world earth age. Apostle Peter actually covered 3 earth world ages in 2 Peter 3. This 2nd one we are in began at Genesis 1:2 and ends with the day of Christ's future return...No one will be in a flesh type body any longer when Jesus returns to start His reign with His elect saints.
Why do you limit the fire in 2 Peter 3 to works? Why is hades not emptied until after the millennium, after Satan is released?
As for Paul's "Peace and safety"...
I guess I just wasted my time above.
And no, the end will not be about a Roman empire. That is a leaven doctrine from men.
Dan 2
40 And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise.
41 And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay.
42 And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.
43 And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.
44 And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.
Who are the kings of verse 44?
What God's Word points to is JERUSALEM in a state of IDOL worship with a newly built stone temple by the Jews, and a return to their old covenant type worship with sacrifices. The "abomination of desolation" prophecy that Jesus quoted from Daniel 11:31 requires all that for the very end of this world.
I agree.
Could the deceived Roman Church be a part of support for that false Messiah in Jerusalem, deceiving its members? Yes! including many Protestant church systems also that will be deceived by that false-Messiah with thinking he is Jesus Christ returned. All religions then will believe that false-Messiah is God.
The Pope is trying to unite religions. I could see Chrislam, a unity of Christianity and Islam and its leaders as the false prophet more than AC. I had to delete some of what you said to post.
