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
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 70th Week (the 70th Week is the
last 7 years before the return of Christ to the earth at Armageddon). We know
this because Israel
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
As mentioned in verse 24 above the time period in which Israel
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 70th 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
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.
