Tracing Eschatological Clues

[mikesw]

I wrote out a list of about a hundred eschatological-related terms and events. I had placed these into a basically sequential order and had placed verses/passages alongside each entry. The goal was to track the sequence of events and then demonstrate which events were fulfilled as an end point. Then any events that preceded that within passages could also be marked as fulfilled.
Anyhow, I had copied the list of terms and events to a text file but lost the spreadsheet with the verses (due to sudden shutdown of software). I will provide the list in case someone wants to help fill-in verses/passages or use this list independently. Note that some entries could seem odd. Many may not make sense to me when I don't have the verses next to the entries.

[mikesw]

It is okay if terms like "day of the Lord" have multiple applications -- such as a judgment on specific OT nations instead of a single judgment. I had not figured out a concept to differentiate these. Maybe adding an entry like Babylon:Isaiah 13:6-9.

If people want to somehow share verses for entries in this list, maybe I or someone else can gather these into a spreadsheet.

I started collecting verses again. It is pretty interesting.

If anyone wants to work with this list or help me on it, let me know. I have to some degree started a synoptic view of prophecy elements. No specific view has to be taken on the list.
