Christ's disciples asked, "What shall be the signs of thy coming,
and the end of the world?" Jesus answered, "And when these things
come to pass (or begin to occur simultaneously,) then look up and lift
up your heads, for your redemption draweth nigh."

During the Tribulation, there will be a total of twenty-one special
judgments that fall upon the earth. They are in three series of seven
described as Seals, Trumpets and Vials (or bowls.)
The seals are the beginning of God's program to pour out judgments
upon the earth. (The first 3-1/2 years, 42 months, 1260 days.)

The Trumpets of heaven sounds an alarm throughout the world. Each
blast ushers in an added judgment. This takes most of the second 3-1/2
years.
The Vials come in rapid succession toward the end of the last 3-1/2
years.
