Let me propose something radically different,
regarding the timing of the sequence of events at the first 6 Seals:
1) The Rapture occurs at an event consisting
of dark clouds and pervasive darkness as in the three days of darkness
at the plagues upon Egypt described in Exodus. The photosphere of the
sun is fed by enormous electrical currents, and all it would take for the
sun to go dark would be a temporary "short circuit," caused by something
coming into the solar system. At this time the firstborn barley
of the Church-Age is caught up into the Clouds, the Night, by the Thief in
the Night. This is accomplished for the living saints just a moment
in time after the resurrection of the dead in Christ, at the shout of
the Lord. All people who are blood-bought saved Christians without exception
are raised to eternal life at this time. This is Revelation 4:1, and
I would suggest it takes place on Firstfruits. The sweep of events comes
as a total shock to the world. But it is not yet Pentecost, the change
of Dispensation. His voice which brings about the resurrection, causes
the earth to quake. We might expect that Yellowstone will blow, and
Rainier will blow ...Indonesia will blow, and Long Valley will blow,
as well as the Three Sisters region of Oregon, ...San Francisco
will quake, and the New Madrid will shake, and the Moon will be as blood,
and the sun will become black. Smoke and ash will be thick in the atmospheric
heaven, and probably low earth orbit, too. This is the Sudden Destruction,
the snare that will come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
Joel 2: 30And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth,
blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. 31The sun shall be
turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and
the terrible day of the LORD come...
Does this refer to the Sixth Seal, or the Rapture,
or both, for that matter?
Have you seen the incredible amount of evidence
that continues to mount every day, that the really big earthquakes and volcanoes
are soon to happen? It is so perplexing in recent months that it
just builds, and builds, and somehow it is staved off for another day!
2) The saints are taken to Judgment,
the Bema Seat of Christ, and they obtain their crowns, and in heaven they
cast them before the throne as in Revelation 4:10. They sing their
song of joy, the song of the blood-purchased in Revelation 5:9, and these
ten thousand times ten thousand and thousands of thousands sing "Worthy is
the Lamb..."
3) In exactly the same pattern as for
Jesus Christ, after he was caught up to the throne of God immediately after
his resurrection, the saints return to earth as did Jesus, to begin the 40
days. Ninevah, you have left only 40 days! More of the sign
of Jonah, known to diligent Doves of late! Dilation of time, or changes
in the nature of time could easily occur, as they well may have for Jesus
when he visited his father in heaven before returning to greet Mary Magdalene
in the Garden. On earth, it would seem only a few hours have elapsed.
4) And then shall that Wicked be revealed.
This is the 1st Seal, and it could be the False Prophet (?).
5) Under cover of the shock of onrushing
events, various military organizations take advantage of the confusion, and
God brings to pass events such as described as the war in Isaiah 13, the destruction
of Damascus, and etc. as known to the world as World War III. This is
the Red Horse of war. These events could occur in a matter of days.
6) People grasp for the first time what
it means for the grocery store shelves to be empty, and in a matter of days,
it takes an entire day's wages to buy a loaf of bread. This is the continuing
onrush of the 40 days we testify, moving in and out of peoples rooms through
the walls. This is the Black Horse, the third horse of famine. The
40 days continue to unfold.
7) The wrath of Satan continues to unfold,
as death and hell emerge as viral death; call it bird flu as you wish.
It is Pale. It is deadly. It rages over a fourth of the world.
It is the 4th Horse, the Pale one. It, as the second and third horses,
only takes days to emerge following the shout.
8) The boxcars with shackles start to
roll, as the new saints in their 40 days make progress as new-born Christians.
Untold billions are evangelized by us Jonahs, and huge numbers accept Jesus
Christ right on the spot. Guillotines start in the concentration camps.
The 5th Seal is underway. Stories of these death camps were all over
the internet in the days leading up to these events, as were the stories of
the boxcars! The Great Tribulation is in progress, and untold numbers
of disembodied people gather under the altar, in heaven, and God asks them
to rest yet a little season, as yet more should be killed, as they were.
Soon the 40 days are up, us Jonahs ascend, and then ten days follow after
that. The resurrection of the saints under the altar will follow VERY
shortly. There will be an enormous earthquake, such as occurs
at all resurrections, but first, the Illuminati will retreat to their bunkers, for
ALL of them at the highest levels will know exxactly what is happening, for
at the highest levels, they know perfectly well that the Bible is true.
The Jesuits have figured it out, with data from their observatory in
Arizona, and know all about the "incoming" extremely magnetic dark sun, an
iron star, visible only in the infrared wavelengths, that no one saw coming,
that caused the recent 3 day electrical "short"...
9) ...and next, this "incoming" magnetically
couples with the earth, causing it to flip like a magnet, so that the stars
would fall, the atmospheric heavens would scroll as they roll together...
and this is the 6th Seal, the resurrection of the 5th Seal Saints. We
know that this is what it is, from Revelation 7:14, about those who are arrayed
in white robes.
Thus, in the above 9 steps, the Thief in the
night arrives, and the first two resurrections are accomplished.
Obviously I could be completely wrong. But we are
missing something, about the Sudden Destruction at the thief in the night,
and the snare that will come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole
earth. These events are at the Last Trump, our rapture at Revelation
4:1. Gotta keep trying to understand!
