What it means

Prophecy is centered on Christ

The timeline is not meant to create speculation. It is meant to show that Scripture moves toward redemption, judgment, restoration, and the visible return of Jesus Christ.

Key truth

The goal is readiness

The Bible does not give a date for the Second Coming. It calls believers to trust Christ, study Scripture, proclaim the everlasting gospel, and live faithfully in the final phase before His return.
