Regarding chronology, first stating that these things belong in the jurisdiction of the Creator as far as timing is concerned, the only real indication of timing left that I can see is the survival of the principal world governments, fully integrated into the UN with less authority an automomy than before, a period said to last "a time and a season".
I associate this time period based upon the destruction of the fourth beast which dies first, by "fire" with Babylon, the Great or some aspect of Babylon the Great. Whatever combination that turns out to be, but keeping in mind that the effect on the world is a mourning over its former wealth and influence. So an economic upheaval by the U.N. of Babylon the Great's influence will be followed by "a time and a season" which is at least a year and 3 months. Though God could modify this.
But just based upon that, that should take us into 2000.
As fa as I'm concerned, all other numeric prophecies have been fulfilled:
2520 years: 529-1992
1290 days: 1947
1335 days: 1947+45= 1992
2450 jubilee years: 455+2450=1996.
2300 eve/morn = x 1/2 = 1150 years+110=1260 ending 1996=1886.
Great tribulation = World
War II, Holocaust
42 months of special feeding of woman after kingdom setup; 1992+4=1996.
So we're basically done, except...
WHAT'S LEFT:
destruction of Babylon, the Great, maybe a 1 yr 3 months before Armageddon.
Who is
Babylon the Great?
