Dear Doves,

In the Book of Revelation, John sees Jesus open Seals 'number one' through 'number 6' in UNINTERRUPTED ORDER in Heaven.

Between the time Jesus opens the '6th Seal and the 7th Seal' He makes 'His round-trip to earth' to accomplish the TWO THINGS described in Revelation Chapter 7 that occur between the opening of the 6th and 7th Seal. The 'first thing' is an event 'here on earth', and the 'second thing' is an event 'back in Heaven':

THE FIRST EVENT 'HERE ON EARTH':
After describing the 6th Seal events on earth, John then sees four angels standing at the four corners of the earth HOLDING BACK 'THE FOUR WINDS' and the 144,000 Sealed by the angel coming from the East (Rev 7:1-8).

And He will send His angels with a loud trumpet call, and THEY WILL GATHER HIS ELECT FROM 'THE FOUR WINDS', from one end of the heavens to the other" (Matthew 24:31).

THE SECOND EVENT 'BACK IN HEAVEN':
After this, back in Heaven, he sees the great multitude "standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb wearing white robes" (Rev 7:9-17).

Now that Jesus is BACK IN HEAVEN, He now opens the 7th Seal.

According to Your Word, Come Lord Jesus!
