Is This When the World Will End: Realigning Armageddon with the Day of Atonement

 

When will the world end, that is to ask, when will Jesus come back and put an end to this wicked world? Of course, we know that Jesus returns to the earth on a white horse at the battle of Armageddon, at which time the enemies of God will be defeated—this is what is commonly called “the end of the world.” 

11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. 

12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. 

13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. 

14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. 

15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. Rev 19:11-15 

And I think I know when this will occur. Let me explain; we know that the end of the world will occur after the end of the last 7 years, which is commonly called “the tribulation” but which should be more correctly called the 70^th Week. And the 70^th Week consists of three time periods: tribulation, great tribulation, and the Day of the Lord—God’s wrath. 

I am convinced that since major prophetic events at Jesus's first coming aligned with the spring feasts, that major prophetic events at His second coming will align with the fall feasts—Rosh Hashanah, the Day of Atonement, and Tabernacles. 

I am also convinced that the Day of the Lord, when God's wrath begins to be poured out, begins after Seal 6 is opened. This is also the time of the rapture. That is why the people of the earth see Jesus in the clouds and go into hiding—He will appear in the sky/clouds at the rapture at Seal 6, then God's wrath begins. 

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? Rev 6:12-17 

So based on these premises and the date parameters of 2520, 1260, 1290, and 1335 that are given to us in scripture, and aligning Armageddon with the Day of Atonement, I have come up with the following chart.

(Note: This chart, in comparison to previous charts I have put forth, has a 10-day shift on two parameters. This is because previously I had aligned Armageddon with Rosh Hashanah, but due to prophetic data brought forth by Steve Wilkin, I believe that Armageddon will most likely align with the Day of Atonement and thus will be 10 days later.)  

How about the year, can we know the year that the world will end—the year when Armageddon will occur? In previous posts I have put forth information which indicates that Armageddon will most likely occur in 2028. See the post: 2028 and Armageddon. 

Applying the 10-day shift to align Armageddon with the Day of Atonement; the beginning of the rule of antichrist date will shift from 4/9/2025 to 4/19/2025 and Armageddon from 9/20/2028 to 9/30/2028 yielding the following chart.

Note: These concepts are thoroughly explained in The Coming Epiphany; your guide to understanding end times Bible prophecy. (Available as an eBook at Amazon for $4.99) 

So, is this the way it will work out, will Armageddon align with the Day of Atonement, and will it occur in 2028? If it will, then the midpoint and all its events will occur in the late winter/spring of 2025. 

Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. Luke 21:36

The Basel Plan for $10,000/oz Gold; Are You Prepared to Live Without Buying or Selling? Updated

 

One day soon all of us will be faced with trying to survive without being able to buy or sell. How do I know that? Because that is what God tells us will happen, that is assuming you are still alive at the time and don’t take the mark. 

And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 

And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Rev 13:16,17 

Also realize that all who take the mark will be subject to God’s wrath and will also be damned to hell. 

And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, 

The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: 

And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. Rev 14:9-11 

And when in the end times will the mark come about? It will occur after the midpoint of the last 7 years during the 42-month reign of the antichrist when he makes war against the saints. 

And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. Rev 13:5 

And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. Rev 13:7 

And part of his war against the saints will involve the mark—not being able to buy or sell. This time period is called the great tribulation, which starts after the opening of Seal 5. 

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: 

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? 

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. Rev 6:10,11 

And then after the Seal 5 great tribulation comes Seal 6 and the rapture. I know that many Christians have been taught for their whole lives that the rapture will be pre-trib—before the last 7 years. I know, because I used to believe it and teach it. But then I took a hard look at scripture, God opened my eyes, and I clearly saw that the rapture event is part of the Day of the Lord. 

For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 

Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 

Wherefore comfort one another with these words. 

But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. 

For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. 2 Thes 4:16-5:2

God also tells us that the Day of the Lord which comes as a thief in the night when the saints are caught up to heaven—the rapture—occurs after the sun is darkened and the moon is turned to blood. This next verse clearly shows this fact. 

The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come: Acts 2:20

Thus, the Day of the Lord/rapture occurs after the sun is darkened and the moon is turned to blood. And God also tells us exactly in the end times when the sun is darkened, and the moon is turned to blood. The sun is darkened, and the moon is turned to blood after the opening of Seal 6. 

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; Rev 6:12 

Therefore, sound logic dictates that the rapture occurs after Seal 6 is opened. That is why, after the sixth seal is opened, Jesus is seen in the sky, because He appeared at the rapture. 

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: 

For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand? Rev 6:16,17 

In fact, the gospel of Mark confirms this 6^th Seal timing of the rapture. Look at the chronology that Mark presents. Mark tells us that first comes the abomination of desolation. 

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:) Mark 24:15 

BTW, Daniel tells us the abomination of desolation occurs 1290 days before the end, which confirms that it occurs near the midpoint. 

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. Dan 12:11 

Then in the chronology Mark tells us after the abomination of desolation the Seal 5 great tribulation will occur. 

For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. Mark 24:21 

Then Mark tells us that after the abomination of desolation and after the Seal 5 great tribulation, then comes the Seal 6 events and the rapture. 

Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: 

And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 

And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. Mark 24:29-31 

These verses in Mark are clearly describing the rapture—the Son of Man appears in the clouds, and then the elect are gathered—that’s the rapture! Thus, Mark confirms the 6^th Seal rapture timing: abomination of desolation—Seal 5 great tribulation—Seal 6 moon to blood, sun darkened—rapture.

 

(See The Coming Epiphany for a full explanation as to why the rapture will not occur until after Seal 6 is opened.) 

So, since the rapture does not occur until after Seal 6 is opened, all who do not take the mark during the Seal 5 great tribulation, including Christians, will be faced with not being able to buy or sell. 

So, how are we going to be able to survive? First off, make sure that you are a saved born again Christian. If you are, then you are a child of God and when you die you will have a home in Heaven for eternity.  And if you are a Christian pray as much as possible, and trust and rely on God and His promises to see you through that time. 

There are also some practical things that you can do to prepare for that time; like having emergency food supplies, having a water filter, knowing how to hunt and fish, planting crops, etc. But remember we cannot trust in ourselves or things, but must trust in God’s provision and leading to help us through those times. 

You may also be able to barter for items with precious metals. If you do not have any precious metals you might want to consider getting some, especially in light of this bit of intel about the Basel plan for $10,000 plus gold. Go to the 49:30 mark for the pertinent info.

 

 

So, it looks like the plan for after the financial collapse calls for $10,000 per oz. gold.  And most likely silver will go up with it, and if it comes back to a 20 to 1 ratio, silver would be at $500 per oz.

It is also after the financial collapse that the great reset and the NESARA QFS ET demonic antichrist connected global monetary system will come about. And at some point, to participate in the global economy you will have to give allegiance to the antichrist and receive the mark. 

So, whether we like it or not, not being able to buy or sell without taking the mark is coming and it is coming before the rapture. Have you prepared? 

Look, this is not about ha-ha I’m right, you’re wrong, my motivation in this is to help you to not be caught off guard and to help you prepare. 

Think about this; after the digital global financial system comes about, all of your financial assets that you have now will be converted to digital, and when the mark comes about you will not be able to access any of them without taking the mark. So, except for the assets in your possession you will have nothing.

And when might the financial collapse occur? If this is any indication, then it might be very soon.--on the day of or shortly after the lunar eclipse on 10/28/2023.

 

BTW, if you are still a staunch pre-tribber you might want to consider the evidence that suggests that we are already in the last 7 years and we are nearing the midpoint. In fact, I believe the wars going on right now are most likely part of the Seal 2 events—I could be wrong, but I believe Seal 2 was opened on 2/22/22. 

And if the last 7 began on 10/8/2020, which is a hypothesis at this point, then day number 1111 will be on 10/24/23—they like 11s. So, that would be a day to watch.

Update: This might be the 10/24 event, Iran claims to have successfully attacked a U.S. destroyer.

Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. Luke 21:36

Knock, Knock; Who’s There? The Red Heifer

 

Most of you know that Bible prophecy predicts there will be a third temple and that the third temple will be desecrated by the antichrist when he performs the abomination of desolation. You will also see in the verses below that this will occur near the midpoint—1290 days—of the last 7 years, and the great tribulation—Seal 5—begins after the abomination of desolation. 

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. Dan 12:11

 

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:) 

16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: 

17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: 

18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes. 

19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! 

20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: 

21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. Mt 24

 

Notice also in the verses below that the Day of Christ/Lord comes after the abomination of desolation. Also remember that the rapture occurs during the Day of the Lord. 

1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 

2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. 

3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 

4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. 2 Thes 2

 

So, obviously these end times events cannot occur until the third temple is in place. It has been reported for many years that the Jews have all that is needed for the construction of the third temple and are ready to build it, except for one thing, a red heifer is needed to dedicate it. In past years several candidates for red heifers have come forth, but to date none have qualified until possibly now. 5 red heifer candidates have just been flown to Israel. 

The Temple Institute and Boneh Israel made a huge step towards reinstating the Temple service on Thursday when five red heifers landed at Ben Gurion International Airport. 

The red heifer was the main component in the Biblically mandated process of ritual purification for impurity that results from proximity or contact with a dead body.  Because the elements needed for this ceremony have been lacking since the destruction of the Second Temple, all Jews today are considered ritually impure, thereby preventing the return of the Temple service. The Temple Institute launched its  Red Heifer program about a decade ago, led by Rabbi Azariah Ariel… 

Source: https://www.israel365news.com/274830/watch-red-heifers-arrive-in-israel/

 

So, will one of these red heifers be used to dedicate the third temple and usher in the era of the false messiah? Time will tell but some Jews are already declaring that the year 5783 that begins on 9/25/22 will be the year in which the ceremony of the Red Heifer will be performed. 

If this is the case, then we are not far from when the false messiah arrives on the scene and performs the abomination of desolation after which Israel will flee into the wilderness and the great tribulation will begin. 

Note: My research has led me to believe that the abomination of desolation which is near the midpoint will occur in the spring of a year. Thus, if it were to occur in the spring of 2023, the temple would need to be in place by then, and a lot would have to happen between now and then for that to occur. Thus, the years 2024 and beyond would be better possibilities for the abomination of desolation and the arising of the antichrist, but you never know. 

After Israel flees the antichrist will then take over the world, and the Seal 5 persecution of Jews and Christians—great tribulation—will begin where no one can buy or sell without taking the mark of the beast as seen in the verses below. 

14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. 

15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood. 

16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth. 

17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. Rev 12

 

3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. 

4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? 

5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. 

6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. 

7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. 

8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. 

9 If any man have an ear, let him hear. 

16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 

17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 

18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. Rev 13

 

So, in the next year or so, will we be on the threshold of the third temple and all the midpoint end times events surrounding it, which presupposes that the last 7 years has already begun? Is the antichrist near to coming onto the scene? Is the Seal 5 mark of the beast and the war against Jews and Christians looming in the near future? 

Regardless of when, these events will eventually happen, have you prepared for the end times? Remember, the rapture will not occur until after Seal 6 has been opened. 

BTW, here is what the long-range forecast is showing for 10/29/22—Hurricane Hermine hitting Florida.

 

And then another one on 10/6/22—Hurricane Ian. Of course, these are long range models, and they can change many times.

 

Note: Hermine just formed off Africa and is supposed to dissipate. But the next named storm is to be Ian and the models are showing it hitting Florida.

Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. Luke 21:36

Where Are We in the End Times?

 

Where are we in the end times? I get that question from time to time, and the short and the long of it is, right now I do not think we can know for sure. 

However, I do believe that it is possible that we have already entered into the last 7 years. And I also believe it is possible that Seals 1 to 4 may have already been opened. 

And whenever the horses of the Apocalypse have finished running throughout the earth, we will see the New World Order arise, WW3, a worldwide financial collapse, and the death of 25% of the world’s population. 

Remember in light of other modes of transportation horses gallop relatively slowly so even though a Seal may be opened it could take a few years to come to fruition. 

The confirmation of this theory and an establishment of a definite timeline will be marked by the events prophesized in the Bible that will occur at or near the midpoint of the last 7 years. 

I believe the Seal 3 worldwide financial collapse and the Seal 4 death of 25% of the world’s population should be recognizable by most as a prophesized end times event that will signal that we are in the last 7 years. 

But the most definitive event, and one that will allow for the establishment of an end times timeline will be the takeover of the world by the antichrist at the three-and-a-half-year point. 

3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. 

4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? 

5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. Rev 13 3-5 

So, if the theory that we may already be in the last 7 years is correct and the last 7 years began in 2019, then the midpoint and the antichrist takeover will be in the spring of 2023. If the last 7 years began in 2020, then the midpoint and the antichrist takeover will be in the spring of 2024, so forth and so on. 

So, where are we in the end times? Right now, I do not think we can know for sure—time will tell. But please realize that the antichrist will take over the world and issue the mark of the beast before the rapture occurs and you should be prepared for that time which the Bible calls the great tribulation. 

Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. Luke 21:36

The Next Event is NOT the Sixth Seal and Rapture

Some Christians are coming around to the scriptural fact that the rapture will not occur until after Seal 6 is opened—which I present a Biblical proof of that fact in The Coming Epiphany. However some of those Christians who see the rapture occurring after the Sixth Seal is opened believe that the Sixth Seal and rapture are imminent because they believe that Seals 1 to 5 have already been opened, and thus Seal 6 and the rapture are the next event in the prophetic time line. In my eyes this is scripturally impossible and is also practically as dangerous as believing in a pre-tribulation rapture. Let me tell you why. 

First off it is impossible for Seal 5 to have been opened. Here is why; consider these verses.  

1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 

2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. 

3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 

4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. 2 Thes 2

The scriptures above clearly tell us that our gathering together unto Him— the rapture—called the day of Christ in the passage, will not occur until after the man of sin—the antichrist—is revealed and he sits in the Temple and proclaims that he is god—the abomination of desolation.

Thus the rapture occurs after the abomination of desolation.

And when does the abomination of desolation occur? It occurs near the midpoint of the 70^th Week (the 70^th Week is the last 7 years before the return of Christ to the earth at Armageddon). We know this because Israel is instructed to flee into the wilderness after the abomination of desolation occurs, and we are told that she flees for the last 3.5 years of the 70^th Week.

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:)

16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains…

21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. Matt 24

And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. Revelation 12:14

Thus Israel fleeing into the wilderness also occurs after the abomination of desolation.

As mentioned in verse 24 above the time period in which Israel flees into the wilderness for the last 3.5 years is known as the Great Tribulation—the time when the antichrist makes war against Jews and Christians.

And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. Daniel 7:25

14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent…

17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. Revelation 12: 14, 17

And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. Revelation 13:7

Thus the Great Tribulation also occurs after the abomination of desolation.

And where is this Great Tribulation/persecution/war against Jews and Christians found in the sequence of events in the book of Revelation? It is found in the description of Seal 5.

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 fellow servants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled. Rev 6: 9-11

Thus Seal 5 occurs after the abomination of desolation and since Seal 6 and the rapture occurs after Seal 5, therefore Seal 6 and the rapture occurs after the abomination of desolation.

Abomination of desolation—Great tribulation (Seal 5)—Rapture (Seal 6).

Therefore it is scripturally impossible for seal 5 to have occurred yet, because the antichrist has not arisen and performed the abomination of desolation, and begun his war against Jews and Christians. Thus since Seal 5 has not occurred yet, Seal 6 and the rapture are not imminent.

How about Seals 2-4, have they occurred yet? Before we answer that question let’s look at what they entail; Seal 2 is a world war, Seal 3 is a worldwide financial collapse, and seal 4 is a worldwide pandemic.

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.

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.

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.

Some argue that since we have seen world wars, financial collapses, and pandemics, that these Seals have been opened. Granted, similar things have been happening from the dawn of time, however a world war, a worldwide financial collapse, and a worldwide pandemic killing ¼ of the world’s population has not occurred in the history of the world.

Has there ever been a time when literally the whole world has been involved in war? Has there ever been a time when the average person in the world had to spend a whole day’s wages just to get a measure of grain? Has there ever been a time when a pandemic has struck the whole world? Has there ever been a time when war, financial collapse, and a pandemic have wiped out ¼ of the world’s population? I answer NO to all of them. So not only has Seal 5 not been opened, but I also conclude that Seals 2-4 have not been opened either.

Another reason why I believe Seals 2-4 have not been opened is because a former Illuminati insider has told us that “the plan” calls for the antichrist to arise on the scene 91 days after WWIII (Seal 2) begins. It is in this same time period that Seal 3-4, along with other horrific events, are also planned to occur. After this 91 day period “the plan” calls for the antichrist to come onto the scene to falsely solve the world’s problems. This is also the time that the New World Order will be established, which he will be the leader of for the last 3.5 years of the 70^th Week.

5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.

6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.

7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.

8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

9 If any man have an ear, let him hear. Revelation 13

Thus in conclusion; according to scriptural parameters, the Sixth Seal and rapture must occur after the abomination of desolation. The abomination of desolation has not occurred yet; therefore the Sixth Seal and rapture are not imminent. To believe otherwise is unscriptural.

The Thessalonians were having trouble with their beliefs about the timing of the rapture; they thought that either the Day of the Lord/rapture was about to occur or that they were already in the Day of the Lord and they missed the rapture. God through Paul addressed this issue, and Paul told them that the rapture and Day of the Lord could not happen until after the abomination of desolation took place. Now reread the first passage I brought to your attention with those ideas in mind.

1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,

2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.

3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. 2 Thes 2

Do you now see that the abomination of desolation must occur before the rapture? I hope so, but the choice is yours; will you choose to believe the rapture will not happen until after the abomination of desolation in accordance with what Paul said above, or will you choose to continue believing the false and dangerous theory that the rapture is the next major prophecy event.

Why is that dangerous? Because it leaves you totally unprepared for Seals 2-5, and especially Seal 5, where you will not be able to buy or sell without taking the mark.
