The Bible reveals to us through a vision given by God to Daniel through the angel Gabriel, the last 7 years of prophecy, written in Daniel 9:27:

He will confirm a covenant with many for one seven. in the middle of the seven he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on a wing of the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him.

The said covenant (treaty) has these essential features:

1. The end-time ruler will establish it

2. It is for 7 years

3. It is made with Israel and others

4. It is a promise of peace and security

5. the rebuilding of the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem


Since the Roman Empire that destroyed Jerusalem no longer exists today, the ruler being referred to in the prophecy pertains to a future leader, one who reigns in the type of emperor of Rome of old. He will be revealed in the end times, recognized, and hailed in the West. I say this because most of the powerful nations today, who were the leading global policymakers, are mostly from the West, i.e. the G7 countries. (G7, cf. Revelation 13:1)


The Great Tribulation will begin when the said leader puts in place the 7-year treaty, which he will break in the middle of its term as written. The Great Tribulation is certain to end after the said period when the Lord Jesus Christ returns. (Daniel 12:11-12)


And now we go to what will transpire in the last 7 years through a vision written by John and revealed to him by the Lord Jesus Christ. (Revelation 1:1) Here is the interpretation:


The First Year

The vision of a rider on the white horse appears. The Ruler through his representative propagates and begins to implore his peace and security plan globally through diplomacy. (Revelation 6:1-2)


God bringing in judgment, results in one-third of all the trees and vegetation being burned up. (Revelation 8:7) like the bushfires of our days, due to the worsening climate change.


Sores appeared in the bodies of those who have the mark of the Ruler, who adheres to everything he says, (Revelation 16:1-2) referring to the mark as written in Revelation 13:16-17. Today most people refer to this as the technology of microchip implants under the skin in conjunction with the 5G network currently being rolled out in first-world countries. It is known to cause some bodily harm due to the damaging effects of radiation emanating from the high-powered Radio Transmitters densely placed in cities. However, it is not yet mandatory for now but is used out of necessity for health care, identification, tracking, and citizen monitoring, as well as buying and selling via digital e-transactions. This will most probably be the type of mark alluded to herein.


The Second Year

A great war occurs. (Revelation 6:3-4) Most probably the Third World War.


Then a third part of the sea and all living creatures in it and a third of the shipping vessels were destroyed. This alludes to a battle on the high seas where missile-launching ships engaged in warfare using nuclear warheads. (Revelation 8:8-9)


All the living creatures in the sea died. (Revelation 16:3) This is due to the effects of nuclear explosions.


The Third Year

The global economy falls resulting in famine and price inflation, the effects of war. (Revelation 6:5-6)


From the nuclear explosions, the water springs and a third of the rivers turn bitter, resulting in the deaths of millions. (Revelation 8:10-11)


All rivers and other water sources, as well, get contaminated. (Revelation 16:4)

 

In the middle of this 3rd year, the Ruler breaks his treaty with Israel as his army tramples on the sanctuary. This brings about what is known as the abomination that causes desolation. Whereof the Two Witnesses prophesy 1,260 days—a ministry which, taken literally, would correspond with the forty-two months judgment described herein. (Revelation 11:1-13; 2 Thessalonians 2:4; Matthew 24:15-22)


These two witnesses are real people with miraculous powers likened to Moses and Elijah of old, who will preach and witness during the entire half of the Tribulation. It will be through their guidance that the 144,000 (remnant of Israel) are led out to safety. As dreadful a time as this may be, God is faithful to deliver the remnant as He said he would. (Revelation 7:1-8; Romans 11:5-6; Zephaniah 2:6-7)ct

 

The Fourth Year

As do all wars, death totals one-fourth of the people and living creatures. By today’s population standards, that would amount to more than one-and-a-half billion people. (Revelation 6:7-8)


Most likely due to the nuclear bomb explosions in different places, this causes a darkening of the sky, like volcanic eruptions where smoke, dust, and ashes cover the troposphere, hence, there is one-third less sun, moonlight, and stars, extending the darkness of night. (Revelation 8:12)


However, the sun’s heat intensifies, and being trapped by the covered atmosphere causes more agony, as the ungodly blasphemed the name of God. (Revelation 16:8-9)


The Fifth Year

Resurrected souls who died in Christ before the great tribulation (Revelation 6:9-11) were raised as well in the first resurrection (rapture). These were the ones martyred in His name (victims referred to in chapter 17:5-6 cf. Revelation 17, GNV) by the great whore or Great Babylon the mother of whoredom. They were given white robes as with the others who were raptured (Revelation 19:7-8). They were told to wait until their number was completed with those who would be killed by the antichrist or the beast during the great tribulation, as they had been (martyrdom), due to the non-acceptance of the mark of the beast being enforced on everyone. (Revelation 13:15; 20:4)


With radiation in the atmosphere from the nuclear blasts, (Health Effects) further pain was given to those on the earth, due to mutation, causing torturing pain to the subject to the point that man sought death but was denied it. (Revelation 9:1-12 cf. Superior Word Rev. 9:8)


Darkness continues to cover the dominion of the Ruler, that is his entire kingdom (global), as sores in their bodies, now intensified by the radiation in the atmosphere, unrelentingly produce such agony that men gnaw their tongues for pain. So they blaspheme God but refuse to repent. (Revelation 16:10-11)


The Sixth Year

The wrath of God poured out in the form of a mighty earthquake, the likes of which have never been experienced. It is so severe that people call for the rocks to fall on them. (Revelation 6:12-17)


Troops of armies coming from the other side of the river Euphrates numbering about two hundred million kill one-third of what is left of mankind, but the rest who survived still did not repent. (Revelation 9:13-21)


The river Euphrates now dried up enables the armies of the world to come to “the battle of that great day of God Almighty,” more popularly known as the Battle of Armageddon. (Revelation 16:12-16; 19:11-21)


The Seventh Year

There is silence for about half an hour, then came peals of thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning, and an earthquake. (Revelation 8:1-5)


Loud voices are heard saying, "The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and His Christ." There was also a great hailstorm as if in concert with the thunder and flashes of lightning as with the earthquake. (Revelation 11:15-19)


Then there is a loud voice from heaven saying, "It is done!" (Revelation 16:17-21)
