The above Tribulation chronology, with many changes and additions, is similar to the chronology as layed out in the book, "THE BABYLON CODE", about solving the Bible's greatest End-Times Mystery, by Paul McGuire and Troy Anderson (FaithWords, 2015) (p. 291-292). Their fascinating and eye opening book is absolutely a 'must read' for any believer who is even half interested in the end time scenario and what, or who, is behind the global world government, economic system and religion, and how America fits into this prohetic end time scenario.
