Judgment Time Line

Q

Is there any indication in the scriptures of how far apart each of the judgments are spaced during the 7 year tribulation period? And specifically at what point of the tribulation does the 6th Seal Judgment take place?

A

I’ve seen a number of time lines proposed, but all of them are subject to speculation, since John didn’t indicate any specific schedule. And since the Bowl judgments make up the entire Great Tribulation both the Seal judgments and the Trumpet judgments have to occur in the first 3.5 years of Daniel’s 70th Week. Assuming an even spacing, that means they average about one every three months in the first half of the 70th week and one every 6 months during the second half.

I think all the judgments take place in chronological order. If so that would place the 6th Seal judgment a little less than 18 months into the 70th week.
