6th seal
opens in new window

A Storm is coming, are you ready. The writing is on the wall, clearly visiable to all who wishes to see it. It was written well over 1900+ years ago. It's a story that will shortly start unfolding before our very eyes.

What is the first sign of the storm?
Some say it's a rapture of millions upon millions of christians which begins the great 7 years of tribulation.
Does the bible really support this view?
If we profess to be christians, following  Jesus Christ, then  should we not listen to the words spoken concerning the time and seasons by Jesus Christ himself?
Matthew 24.
24:6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
24:7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
24:8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
This goes along when the same writing in revelation about the first 4 seals.
Then Christ says
24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
Is this not true as we speak? We can see it clearly today that the gospel of the kingdom is being preached unto all nations of the world then shall the end come!

Then Jesus talks about the abomination of desolation, then speaks of the rapture, Paul speaks of the abomination of desolation occurs before the rapture, John in revelation speaks of the same thing!
All 3 agrees with each other,
All 3 follow the same order of events,
All I trust,
we should follow Christ, not the teachings of men!

When the sixth seal is opened the fullness of the gentiles has come! Could we say this if the 1st 4 seals of revelation didn't set back up Israel as a nation again?

Question is how many people has to die to fit the political/religous correct views now days of the first 4 horsemen? First I'm not saying that they have been fulfilled. It just fits into place without doing anything. To all the millions of Holocaust victims who suffered and died at the hands of Adolf Hitler and his Nazi regime, we should at least give it a little thought. If not, they all might have died in vain. Above anything else it will show us what kind of evil we are all capable of.

Total Deaths During the 20th Century

• Approximately 4,126,000,000 people have died during this century from all causes. If man-made megadeaths account for 185 million of them, then one out of every 22 (or 4.5%) human deaths during the 20th Century have been caused by fellow humans.

Famine Pale Horse?

Revelation chapter 6:7-8
7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
It doesn't say here 1/4 of the entire world's population died, just that "them" was given power over a 1/4 of the earth, particular countries on the earth, to kill with sword, hunger, death, and beast.
The colour of the fourth horse is given as deathly pale or sickly, yellowish green. Again comparing the Revelation with the Master's Olivet prophecy we find that the sickly pale horse symbolises pestilence: deadly disease epidemics and plagues that so quickly lay low millions of humans engulfed in war and famine. When the pale horse breaks into a gallop it will appear as though the finely tuned forces of nature have become dislodged. Disease epidemics of all kinds will sweep across the globe bringing death to millions of people and their crops. The rider on the pale horse has begun to ride below and death is following closely at his heels.

• Between 20 million and 100 million people worldwide died in the 1918 flu pandemicThe 1918 worldwide flu epidemic infected 500 million people, and killed 40+ million. In the U.S., more than 500,000 died The 1918 flu epidemic killed more people in less time than any disease in modern history, killing mostly people in their 20's to 40's.

THE GREAT DEPRESSION Black Horse?

Revelation chapter 6:5-6
5 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.
6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.

October 1929 the stock market crashes creating a worldwide economic crisis.
It was one of the worst depressions the world had ever known.
The Great Depression took place from 1929 to 1939. During this time in the US the prices of stock fell 40%. 9,000 banks went out of business and 9 million savings accounts were wiped out. 86,00 businesses failed, and wages were decreased by an average of 60%. The unemployment rate went from 9% all the way to 25%, about 15 million jobless people.

Effects Of The World War 1

Revelation chapter 6:7-8
2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.
3 And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.
4 And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.

First it doesn't say or even hint that the rider of first horse is the anti-christ.
Wouldn't that be adding? What does the bible say about that?

Rev 22:8 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
Rev 22:9 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

World War I began on July 28, 1914, with the declaration of war by Austria-Hungary on Serbia, and hostilities between the Allied and Central Powers continued until the signing of the armistice on November 11, 1918, a period of 4 years, 3 months, and 14 days. The aggregate direct war costs of all the belligerents amounted to about $186 billion. Casualties in the land forces amounted to more than 37 million in addition, close to 10 million deaths among the civilian populations were caused indirectly by the war. This was the first war in history with a large number of civilian casualties

GRAND TOTAL estimated to have been 37 million dead
Total world population in 1920 1,860 million

5th Seal

No rapture spoken of here yet, also not many people mentioned under the altar
Revelation KJV
9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.

Are we in the "a little season"? if so we are waiting on the.......

12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

The prophet Joel writing of this same period wrote:

1st rapture?
Which would begin the 7 years?  Dome of the Rock would be destroyed by the earth quake or meteorite and would lead the way for a new "jewish temple" to be built by their new messiah, because the
jewish people are still looking for his 1st coming? Which would be the antichrist?
144,000 jews will not believe in him and since the church was raptured they will be the ones preaching the gospel.

The 144,000 preaching the gospel

After both Raptures?

"a little season" -One oldest manuscript, B, omits "little." A and C support it. Even if it be omitted, is it to be inferred that the "season" is short as compared with eternity?

Vision of the Jews
Daniel 12:5 Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood other two, the one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river.
Daniel 12:6 And one said to the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders?
Daniel 12:7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.
time, time, and half a time 1 1 1/2 = 2 1/2
Daniel 12:8 And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?
Daniel 12:9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
Daniel 12:10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.
Matthew 24:9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
Matthew 24:10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
Matthew 24:11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
Matthew 24:12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
Matthew 24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
Matthew 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
Daniel 12:11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.

1933    Jan. 29, 1933: Hitler Appointed Chancellor of Germany.

In the fall of 1938 5 years later, Hitler threatened to invade Czechoslovakia over the Sudatenland. Hitler claimed that this area was rightfully a part of Germany. a second great War between the European powers seemed eminent. However, in a last minute compromise, on September 29,1938, Germany, England, France, and Italy signed the "Munich Pact". This agreement outlined a trade, Hitler got the Sudatenland, and Europe received peace, for a short while longer. This was a land for peace deal, Hitler kept the land but not the peace.

The Munich Pact was:

* Agreed to in principle on September 26, 1938 (Rosh Hashanah).

* Signed on September 29, 1938

* In full effect on October 10, 1938

Three and one half years later, was March 9, 1942. Just days earlier, Heydrich revealed official plans to exterminate all Jews in Europe
"The Final Solution". On March 1, 1942, extermination by gas began in Sobibor camp, and on March 17 the killing began in Belzec.
Also, beginning in March, Jews were shipped to Auschwitz and other camps.
Therefore, Hitler began openly killing the jews three and a half years after the "peace" treaty began

Future
Matthew 24:15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
Daniel 12:12 Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.
1000 300 5 30 days = 1353 days or 1332 days
Daniel 12:13 But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.

When Is the Day of the Lord?

Possible 1st rapture here? The day of the Lord involves "sudden destruction" (1 Thessalonians 5:3) For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape .
Then comes The Seventh Seal and The Wrath of God?
This explains the present time we are living in which is Matthew 24:36-42 KJV

2nd RAPTURE QUESTIONS?

This sounds like the 2nd rapture is sometime between the sounding of the Sixth Trumpet Judgment (9:9-21) and the Seventh Trumpet Judgment (11:15), the Seven Thunders (10:3-4) are revealed?
51 Behold, I shew you a Mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the Last Trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality" (1Corinthians 15:51-53).
For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, And with the trumpet of God. The dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. From the Holy Bible 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18

Below are the good seeds and weeds spoken by jesus's parable in matthew

 
Revelation

Multiple Raptures? A groom at a traditional Jewish wedding had two witnesses announcing his arrival at the bride’s house just before he came for her, 2nd rapture, So likewise, Jesus will send two witnesses before He appears to take His Church of New believers to be with Him.

Everything sounds like the First Rapture is at the opening of the 6th seal "Day of the Lord" and the Second Rapture is in the middle of the 7 year tribulation before the mark of the beast is required? Doesn't really matter does it?
