"The 2nd Half of Daniel's 70th Week"
http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/aug2005/rauld825.htmThe Revelation account in the Bible I read does not have Seal 4 introducing the Witnesses or the sea beast. They appear Seal 7, trumpet 6-7. Seal 4 is the last of the horsemen so I look to see how this pale (green?) horseman is related to the other horses/horsemen.
Why does this teaching require the sea beast appear already at Seal 4 even though John does not state it does?
At Seal 6 THE PEOPLE of the earth SAY it is the day of Wrath but there is still Seal 7 to come, at which time the Witnesses and the sea beast and earth beast make their appearance. The times described in the events of Seal 7 are 42 months OR 3-1/2 years OR 1260 days. The Wrath of YHVH's seven bowls doesn't come until the end of the 42 months of Seal 7.
I used to get confused when I heard people quote from Revelation because I didn't seem to remember the events happening in the timeline as they put forth. Finally I diagrammed the Seals of Revelation for myself so I could SEE where each quote came from. I don't get confused with the Seals anymore.
My own preparation for Y2K has taught me this. I must look to YHVH to give me daily my manna. I do preparing for regular storms that come here but for me to perpare for Seal 6, in that same way, is not possible. When Seal 6 is opened upon the earth it does not read as if it is nuclear, weather, or earthquake related! Ever hear of people going into bunkers to be safe from an earthquake?
Besides at Seal 6 is when I expect to hear Yeshua's Call.
It could be that you have been told by YHVH to make preparations to survive Seal 6. Then of course you should follow His instructions.
I keep the example of Mary and Martha before me. For me the preparation I need ... is to know Yeshua, Who He is and why He is and how I find my Kinsman Redeemer in Him.
