Timeline of Events During the Day of the Lord?

(Note: I'm not sure all of these passages are definitely talking about the future Day of the Lord.)
  • Surrounding nations will go up against Israel (minus ‘Edom’ [?]) – (Zec. 12:2-4; 14:2-4; 14:14-16; Zep. 3:8; Dan. 11:41; et al.)
  • Much of the Israel (67%?) will be destroyed – (Zec. 13:8-9; 14:2-5)
  • A small remnant will survive (some by fleeing to ‘Moab’) – (Zec. 14:5; Is. 16:4; 26:20; Rev. 12:15-16)
  • Jesus will rapture up His people (His “bride”) from all nations in the world (Is. 26:19; 27:13; Zec. 14:5; Matt. 24:30-31; 1 Thes. 4:16-17)
  • Jesus will come down with His bride and fight for the Jewish remnant (“friends of the bridegroom”?) – (Zec. 14:5; Rev. 19:14; Is. 13:9-10; et al.)
  • More surrounding armies will come against the Lord – (Rev. 19:19)
  • The Mount of Olives will split apart from East to West and the “goats” (invading nations) will be on the North (?) and the “sheep” (raptured believers) and the “brethren” (Jews) will be on the South (?) – (Matt. 25:31-33; Zec. 14:4; Rev. 16:18 [?])
  • The majority of people in the nations will be destroyed (minus Egypt?) – (Rev. 19:20-21; Is. 19:22-24; 60:12; 66:15-16; et al.)
  • The remnant of Israel will repent and be saved (9 days after the “rapture”?) – (Rom. 11:25-27; Zec. 12:10-12; Lev. 23:24-27; et al.)
  • There will be a large number of people in the world who are still unbelieving – (Is. 66:19-20; Is. 2:4; 11:14-16; 14:2-3; 49:22-23; et al.)
  • Jesus will rule with a rod of iron; He will execute false prophets/teachers and all criminals deserving of death (Rev. 19:15; Matt. 24:48-51; Is. 63:4-6; et al.)
  • The end result will be that only a remnant of unbelievers will remain in the surrounding nations (Is. 13:11-13; 14:1-2)
  • There will be a literal Supper of the Lamb in Jerusalem (?) – (Rev. 19:9; Luke 12:37; et al.)
  • Some unbelievers will try to enter the Supper, but Jesus will say He does not know them (Matt. 25:10-11)
  • The raptured believers will be made rulers and princes over cities (some over more cities) – (Luke 19:17; 19:19; Rev. 20:4)
  • The raptured believers will be unable to have children, but the saved Jews will be having children – (Matt. 22:30; 1 Cor. 15:51-53; Is. 27:6; 54:1-3; 60:20-22; 61:9)
  • The saved remnant of Israel will repopulate the area around Israel and the border will be expanded fulfilling the specific promise to Israel of large borders – (Is. 26:15; 54:2)
  • The saved people will go out and evangelize the Gentiles and Jews in other parts (Is. 66:19)
  • Newly saved Jews will be brought to Israel (Is. 66:20-21)
