What prophecy time is it, or
in other words where are we in the end times timeline? That is a good question,
and I am not sure I know the exact answer, but here is what I do know.
On September 23, 2017 the Revelation 12 sign of the woman clothed with the
sun occurred. This was shortly
followed by another Revelation 12 sign concerning the “pained to
be delivered” part of the passage.
Now that these events have occurred, where does that leave us in the end times
timeline?
The answer: Major end times events are pending, when exactly we do not know.
What end times events? Seals
1-4—not the rapture.
1 And I saw when
the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder,
one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.
2 And I saw, and
behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given
unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.
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.
Notice that Seal 1 starts
with a noise like thunder; “and I heard, as it were the noise
of thunder.” In my mind this could be the noise of an explosion of some sort,
possibly even nuclear. Thus an explosion may signal the opening of Seal 1.
With all the
war posturing and rhetoric between North Korea and the USA, and the looming
possibility of a nuclear conflict, a nuclear incident could easily fit the bill
for a Seal 1 starting event. And when the Seal 1 “thunder” event occurs it will
mark the beginning of the enactment of the plan to take over the world.
After Seal 1
is opened and the “thunderous” event occurs it will most likely quickly
escalate into WW3—Seal 2. This will then be followed by a worldwide financial
collapse—Seal 3. Which would then be followed by the death of 25% of the
world’s population by various means, including pandemics—Seal 4.
Then the
antichrist would step onto the scene and save the world from its problems. He
would then take over the world and begin persecuting Jews and Christians—Seal 5—the
great tribulation.
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 fellowservants also
and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
Thankfully
God will then rescue true Christians out of this great tribulation via the rapture after Seal 6 is opened.
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?
Notice that
the Seal 6 passage includes Jesus being seen in the sky by the people of the
earth. This is because He has just come to the clouds at the rapture.
29
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:
30
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.
31
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.
As to the
exact timing of when these events might occur, your guess is as good as mine,
all I know is that with the occurrence of the Revelation 12 sign, Seal 1 could
happen at any time—it is imminent. This scenario is echoed in Luke 21.
9
But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these
things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by.
10
Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against
kingdom:
11
And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences;
and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven…
25
And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and
upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves
roaring;
26
Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which
are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
27
And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great
glory.
28
And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your
heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. Luke 21
Have you
prepared for the Seals? Remember God will not do for you what He has given you
the power to do for yourself.
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
