Prophetic history in Genesis

"for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me, declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times things not yet done" (Isa 46:9-10)

"He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man's heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end." (Ecc 3:11)

"And he said to me, "It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end." (Rev 21:6)

History is circular in that the end will mirror the beginning and we will eventually come full circle. This is why God says he knows the end from the beginning and the beginning from the end. If we look at Genesis backwards we see it perfectly mirrors end time events, including the rapture.

Outpouring of the Holy Spirit preceding the return of Christ
Gen 8:8-12 "He also sent out from himself a dove, to see if the waters had receded from the face of the ground."
Joel 2:28 "And it shall come to pass afterward That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions. "
Acts 2:17 "And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your young men shall see visions, Your old men shall dream dreams.
*The dove is a picture of the Holy Spirit (Matt 3:16).

Great upheaval in nature and cosmic activity
Gen 7:11 "In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened."
Luk 21:25 "And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring;"

Signs of the days of Noah, violence, evil imaginations, corruption
Gen 6:11 "The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence."
Matt 24:37 "But as the days of Noah [were], so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. "

The translation of Enoch\The rapture of the church
Gen 5:24 "And Enoch walked with God; and he [was] not, for God took him."
Rev 4:1 "After these things I looked, and behold, a door [standing] open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard [was] like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, "Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this."

Cain is marked\The Anti-Christ and the Mark of the Beast
Gen 4:15 "And the LORD said to him, "Therefore, whoever kills Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold." And the LORD set a mark on Cain, lest anyone finding him should kill him. "
Rev 13:16 "He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, "
*Punishment for killing Cain was seven times, the length of the tribulation is seven years.
*Punishment for killing Lamech was seventy times seven, the same length of Daniel's 70 weeks.

Abel is killed\The saints are killed 
Gen 4:8 "Now Cain talked with Abel his brother; and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother and killed him. "
Rev 20:4 "And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then [I saw] the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received [his] mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. "
*Abel is called righteous in Mat 23:35

The defeat of the serpent\Satan bound 1000 years (End of the tribulation)
Gen 3:15 "And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, And you shall bruise His heel."
Rev 20:2 "He laid hold of the dragon, that serpent of old, who is [the] Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years; "

Satan deceives Eve\Satan deceives the nations one last time
Gen 3:13 "And the LORD God said to the woman, "What [is] this you have done?" The woman said, "The serpent deceived me, and I ate."
Rev 20:7-8 "Now when the thousand years have expired, Satan will be released from his prison and will go out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle, whose number [is] as the sand of the sea. "

The tree of life
Gen 2:9 "And out of the ground the LORD God made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life [was] also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil."
Rev 22:14 "Blessed [are] those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city."
 
Everything is made perfect and new
Gen 1:1 "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth."
Gen 1:31 "Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed [it was] very good." 
Rev 21:1 "Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea."
