When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place...then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be
Matt 24:15,21

And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. Dan 7:25


 

Signs in the sun, moon, and stars terminate the tribulation period and announce that the Day of the Lord is at hand.

And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; ...For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand? Rev 6:12-17

Immediately after the tribulation of those days (the tribulation which has been cut short, not after the completion of 1260 days) shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken. Matt 24:29

The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come. Joel 2:31

And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf falleth off from the vine, and as a falling fig from the fig tree. Isa 34:4


Before the sounding of these trumpets, the 144,000 are sealed, and a great crowd has turned to God, coming out out the great tribulation. These are protected from God's judgments against the man of sin and the unrepentant world.

The trumpet and seal judgments constitute "The Day of the Lord" as a period of God's wrath toward mankind. This is in distinction to the "Great Tribulation" which is a period of Satan's wrath against God's people.


3rd Woe

The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ Rev 11:15

The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies. Ps 110:2

But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets. Rev 10:7

Jesus Takes The Kingdom
Ages Overlap

Seven Bowl Judgments
Angels Sent To Gather The Wicked Out Of His Kingdom and cast them into "a furnace of fire" Matt 13:42

The 144,000 are seen on the heavenly Mount Zion with Christ after the Seventh (Last) Trumpet, but before the bowls judgments are poured out.

These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb. Rev 14:4

The firstfruits being presented to the Lord, the general harvest of mankind begins.

Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe. Rev 14:15

The Harvest and the Winepress of the Wrath of God
 
For A More Detailed Outline of This Period

2000 + Years

The events to mark the age from the ascension of Christ until the beginning of the Great Tribulation.

For all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.

Matt 24:6-8

And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer. And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see. And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword. And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine. And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth Rev 6:1-8

1260 Days

A period of time clearly marked in scripture, beginning with the placing of the "Abomination of Desolation" and ending with the seventh trumpet blast.

And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished. Dan 12:7

And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven, And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer: But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets. Rev 10:5-7

Although it is given unto the 'beast' to make war with the saints for 42 months, his ability to overcome them is cut short by the astronomical signs in the sun, moon and stars, and the beginning of the Day of the Lord which catches the world off guard as a "thief in the night"

And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. Matt 24:22

The day of the Lord thus overlaps the 1260 days by an unspecified amount of time.

30 Days

"Furnace of Fire"

The harvest begins at the last trumpet with the first resurrection and the translation of the elect and ends with the Battle of Armageddon:

In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 1 Cor 15:52

And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. Matt 24:31

Concerning the general harvest of mankind:

Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Matt 24:40-41

The Harvest period lasts 30 days.

45 Days

Battle of Armageddon

The "Great Winepress of the Wrath of God" kills all except those which have turned to the Lord in repentance for protection during the prior tribulation period. At the sixth seal, just prior to the battle of Armageddon, the call goes forth for these to remain steadfast:

Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. Rev 16:15

The battle of Armageddon completely destroys all the wicked.

This period of time marks the final period of waiting for the saints of God.
  
Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.  
Dan 12:12

Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left. Isa 24:6

1000 Years

The glorious millennial reign and 1000 year day of judgment begins.

The times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began. Acts 3:21

1260+30=1290 Days

1290 days transpire from the beginning of the Great Tribulation to the second coming, which marks the end of the age.

The harvest is the end of the age Matt 13:39

And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
Dan 12:11

1290+45=1335 Days

Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.  
Dan 12:12

1335 days transpire from the beginning of the great tribulation to the binding of Satan and the beginning of the 1000 year reign of Christ with his saints:
