>Also keep in mind the Rapture & return Of Jesus are seperate events
So true! I've been studying re the return of Jesus Christ and the rapture or gathering together of the Saints (born again ones in Christ). I've been working on a timeline because I've always been interested to know when certain things will happen. For example, God says that we (born again ones) are not children of the wrath, that we are saved from the wrath. That means we will not be here during that time.
I have found that this is true.
The events detailed in Revelations will not happen until AFTER the gathering together. I will be putting together a timeline as best as I can understand it, based on the word of God, but God says that THE anti-Christ will not be revealed until after the falling away (gathering together) first. Which makes sense if we are not going to be here during the wrath. I got really interested in this after Sept 23 2017 happened - Rev 12. I believe that marked a time that we have entered that it's getting close to the gathering together/rapture. I thought it was going to happen in 9 months, but that time is now passed. It could be 9 years.
