Eaglet,

Thank you for responding to my question.

The timeline that you have for the seals is spread out over ages, and not limited to the tribulation.

I have seen a few other timelines, where they also believe that some seals were not even during the tribulation.

Have you always viewed the timeline of the seals this way?

Regarding Abraham's bosom, I had been taught for many years that this was the actual name of a place.

Now I wonder, if is it possible that, "into Abraham's bosom", is describing someone being up close to Abraham?

Luke 16:22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;

If it was the actual name of a place, wouldn't it have been called Abraham's Bosom, with a capital B showing a proper name?

Luke 16:23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

Then doesn't that line show that Lazarus was in the actual bosom of Abraham?

Also, was there not something similar said regarding the apostle John?

John 13:23 Now there was leaning on Jesus’ bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved.

At the last supper, was not John in Jesus' bosom, in a similar way that Lazarus had been in Abraham's bosom?
