An Artist's Resource For Your End Times Bible Studies!
I'm a Born-Again Christian and visual artist with more than 25 years of studying eschatology. I enjoy creating visual references as I grow deeper along my walk with God. Perhaps my visual charts may help you along your journey as well.
The closer we get to the Tribulation, the more censored all truth about God will become, and it will eventually be removed from the internet completely. If you find my charts helpful, please feel free to copy, paste, backup, save, print, and share any of my charts while we still can.
While we have the hope of a Pre-Tribulation Rapture, we don't know how much the world will decay into the hands of Satan before we leave this place. Once we're saved - through the blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ and knowing Him as our personal Savior - we have the security of eternal life with God. But this doesn't mean we won't have trial and tribulations while we're temporary residents of this planet.
While the idea of "God's got us!" isn't completely untrue, it can be extremely misleading and detrimental to our health and our lives. We can't assume that God will create miracles and move mountains for us while we sit around playing video games. Nowhere in the Bible do we see God stepping in to help the lazy. The weak or injured, sure, but not the lazy - especially those who were told ahead of time. God tells us so we can take action - not ignore His word. Of course, as Born-Again Christians, saved by the grace of God through the blood of Christ, we can rest in the truth that no matter what happens to us, we (as the soul within our physical body) will be fine! But failing to plan, while we're still in human form living in a fallen world, is planning to fail.
God didn't spend so much of His Word warning us about these events so we would be unprepared. Quite the opposite. God told us ahead of time, in tremendous detail, so we could know what to expect, not be surprised, and to actively prepare.
When the seven-year famine came to Egypt, God prepared Joseph with the knowledge ahead of time, but He also required of Joesph (and those around him) to take action, and do the hard work of planning, storing, and preparing for what's to come.
The more prepared we are (spiritually, mentally, and physically), the better off we are for whatever is to come. We can stand on the solid, firm foundation of God, and complete the actions that align with God's truth. While hardships are inevitable, discouragement is a choice. It's easier to reduce fear if we're prepared - allowing us to be proactive instead of reactive. When we see God's bigger picture, it's easier to think, "Yep, I saw that coming!" rather than being surprised or afraid, and allowing others to use that fear to control us.
Thankfully, God provided the tools now to know what's to come, and with that (though the times will be challenging), we can maintain peace, knowing that these things are already known and must happen.
“As He was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things happen, and what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?" And Jesus answered and said to them, “See to it that no one misleads you. You will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end. - Matthew 24:3-6
“For then there will be a great tribulation, such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will. ... For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect. Behold, I have told you in advance." - Matthew 24:21, 24-25
I pray that my Biblical charts will encourage you, and help you clarify and visualize God's word. These are my latest charts.
The closer we get to the Tribulation, the more censored all truth about God will become, and it will eventually be removed from the internet completely. If you find my charts helpful, please feel free to copy, paste, backup, save, print, and share any of my charts while we still can.
Biblical Events Timeline
This timeline extends from Creation through the Millennium and the New Jerusalem. It includes a large red arrow for where we are in God's timeline. Feel free to copy, paste, print and share my chart. This chart is so large that it may be enjoyed on a large printed scale. Feel free to print it yourself, but in case you don't have the ability to print on a large scale, I offer this one as a print up to nine feet long. If you prefer to print this yourself, click the link to download a larger file.
My "Biblical Events Timeline" includes:
Creation
The Flood
The re-gathering of Jews to Israel
Preparing, Creating & Gathering the Sacred Vessels for Temple worship
Temple Plans & Blueprints are Created & New Location (City of David) Discussed
Preparing a Priest for Temple Worship - from the bloodline of Aaron (Moses' brother)
Magog Invasion – War (probably nuclear war) against Israel
Rebuilding of The Third Temple in Jerusalem
Rapture - Removal to Heaven of those who know God as their personal savior, those who believe Jesus is the son of God and that He died as payment for our sins and rose again.
Seven Year Peace Agreement with Israel.
Seven Years of Tribulation
First Half = 3 ½ years of Tribulation
At the Midpoint, the Antichrist declares himself to be god while sitting in the Temple
Second Half = 3 ½ years of Great Tribulation
Battle of Armageddon
The Second Coming of Jesus Christ
The Millennium, 1,000 Years of Christ on Earth
Here's a close up of the center of this chart:
Noah's Family Tree
A visual family tree of Noah and his three sons, grandsons and a few great-grandsons. Through the line of Shem we find the line of Abraham and Jesus. Through Ham (via Canaan, Cush, and Nimrod) we find the return of the giants who did evil in the sight of the Lord (assumed to be brought through the bloodline of Ham's wife). There is power in the blood. We also see a whole lot of names here (especially in the line of Japheth) that return again (as locations/nations) in the End Times with Magog Invasion, and then once more at the end of the Millennium.

Noah's Family Multiplies

Magog Invasion
A visual look at the direction and locations of the nations that attack Israel during the upcoming Magog Invasion War. An interesting opposite from the chart above, of Noah's sons and grandsons populating the nations. Click the link to download a larger file.
The Temple Size Comparisons
A visual of the size comparisons of four (of the seven) temples. The temple of Christ's Body as a temple, and the Spiritual Body of believers aren't seen here. The Tribulation Temple hasn't been built yet, so the dimensions aren't known (and I pray not to be here to find out). Click the link to download a larger file.
The Seven Biblical Temples
A visual look at the seven temples described in the Bible. Interestingly, similar to the Seven Biblical Feasts, there's a gap between the first four (spring feasts/past temples) and the final three (autumn feasts/current and future temples). This gap in time is where we are today. The gap is the timeframe when God is dealing with the Gentiles (everyone who isn't a Jew). But once the next feast begins (and it could be any moment!), then God will return to dealing with the Jews. Click the link to download a larger file.
The Seven Biblical Feasts
A visual look at the seven feasts described in the Bible. Biblical feasts aren't just history -- they're our future as well. Interestingly, similar to the Temples, there's a gap of time between the first four (spring feasts/past feasts) and the final three (autumn feasts). This gap in time is where we are today. The gap is the timeframe when God is dealing with the Gentiles (everyone who isn't a Jew). But once the next feast begins (and it could be any moment!), then God will return to dealing with the Jews.

The Seven Churches
A visual chart of the Seven Churches, including who they thought they were (based on the world), and who they are from God's perspective. Click the link to download a larger file.
I find it interesting that the Seven Churches have similar correlations with the Seven Parables, Paul's Seven Letters to the Churches, Paul's Seven Letters to the Pastors, the Seven Temples, and the Old and New Testament.
It's worth noting, once again, that the first four and the final three are separated by the resurrection of Christ. From the beginning (Alpha), to the end (Omega), there is one consistent event that changes everything... the resurrection of Jesus. Who of course is our only way to eternal life with God.

Accelerating Growth of Technology / Human Corruption Over Time
A visual chart of Accelerating Growth of Technology/Human Corruption Over Time. Visually demonstrates the repeating pattern of Satanic influence, which always leads to the destruction of the human race. God continues to step in and save us from completely eliminating ourselves.
"Unless those days had been cut short, no life would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short." - Jesus (Matthew 24:22)
“Behold, I have told you in advance." - Jesus (Matthew 24:25)
This is the chart of the Accelerating Growth of Technology, that the world wants people to believe. As if we're so evolved that we've never done anything this advanced in all of history. Click the link to download a larger file.
But this can't be further from the truth. We can call them by different names, but we're in a repeating pattern that's been done before. Two of these times include the times before Noah's Flood and before the Tower of Babel. Today, we're well on our way to repeating this destructive course once again.
"For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah." - Jesus (Matthew 24:37)

More To Come
God willing, there will be more charts to come. I pray these bless you in your walk with God. I hope to see you in Heaven!
Your fellow sojourner and sister in Christ,

"These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world." - Jesus (John 16:33)

I tell you these things, not to convince you, but to spark curiosity and encourage you to dig deep and explore these issues for yourself.
As always, don't take my word for it.
Examine the Scriptures daily to see whether these things are true.
"Now these were more noble-minded than those in Thessalonica,
for they received the word with eagerness,
examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so."
