PLOTTING OUR ROADMAP
FORTHE LAST DAYS
1. An over-all outline of Revelation (THE
OUTLINEWILL GIVE US AN IDEA OFTHE
EVENTSTHATWILLTAKE PLACE INTHE
FUTURE)
2. We want to pay particular attention to THE
TIMING OFTHE RAPTURE in relation to THE
END-TIME EVENTS, especially the 7 SEALS,
THETRUMPETS, and the 7 BOWL
JUDGMENTS
3. We want to know HOWWE CAN PREPARE,
based on Biblical precedents
ISAIAH 46:
9 Remember the
former things of old,
For I am God, and
there is no other; I
am God, and there is
none like Me,
10 Declaring the end
from the
beginning, And
from ancient times
things that are not
yet done, Saying,
'My counsel shall
stand,And I will do
all My pleasure,'
EXODUS 19 – God comes down as LAW GIVER
REVELATION – God comes down as JUDGE AND KING
(Note: when He came down as SAVIOUR, there was no thunder
and lighting, smoke and fire. There was only a heavenly choir…
TORAH:
1. NOAH’s time – FLOOD
2. LOTS’s time – FIRE
3. JOSEPH’S time –
FAMINE
4. MOSES’ time –
persecution of God’s
people, God’s
deliverance, Pharaoh’s
armed FORCES
REVELATIONS:
1. Flood of
calamities
2. Fire and hailstone
3. Famine disease
death
4. Persecution of
believers; armies
at war
TORAH:
1. Noah’S ARK
2. Joseph’s BARN
(DEPOT)
3. Lot’s ESCAPE
4. MOSES’s signs and
wonders, pillar of
cloud and fire,
Parting of red sea
REVELATION:
1. God’s promises and
will is our ark
2. God’s supplies and
provisions
3. Escape of God’s
people
4. Signs and wonders
protectingGod’s
people
REVELATIONS 1:1
The Revelation of Jesus
Christ, which God gave
to him, to show his
servants things which
must shortly come to
pass; and he sent and
signified it by his angel
unto his servantJohn:
(KJV)
1. IT IS JESUS WHO REVEALS
(v. 1) to John
2. THE REVELATION CAME
FROMTHE FATHER (GOD)
WHO GAVE ITTO JESUS (v.
1)
3. The revelation is “FOR HIS
SERVANTS”
-- not for an elite few
-- not for seminary people only
-- not for scholars only or
professors or theologians
-- it is FOR ALLWHO SERVE
THE LORD!!
Revelations 1:2
Who bare record of the word
of God, and of the
testimony of Jesus Christ,
and of all things that he
saw. (KJV)
-- “who testifies to
everything he saw – that
is, theWord of God – and
the testimony of Jesus
Christ” (NIV)
4. Revelations is heavily
VISIONS (“everything
that he saw”)
5. WHAT JOHN SAW WAS
“THE WORD OF GOD”
-- all the events that
transpired, that transpire,
and will transpire, are ALL
ACCORDINGTO WHAT
GOD SAID (“the word” –
the torah, the Scriptura,
the rhema)
6. AND IT IS ALL ABOUT
JESUS – his coming, his
reign, his judgment, his
bride, etc…
Revelations 1:3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear
the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are
written therein: for the time is at hand. (KJV) (“the time is
near”) NIV
“THETIME IS NEAR” (??? – this was given two thousand
years ago!!)
-- “…WITHTHE LORD, a day is like a thousand years, and a
thousand years are like a day” (2 Peter 3:8)
-- REVELATIONS WAS GIVEN “TWO DAYS AGO” (2,000
years ago) by God’s count, to PREPARE US FORTHE
THIRD DAY (the next millenium)
-- BY JEWISH COUNT, we are entering the SEVENTH
MILLENIA (which is the LORD’S “DAY” – HIS
THOUSANDTHYEAR, after giving SIX MILLENIAL DAYS
TO MAN)
1. THETRILOGY PRINCIPLE OR
CONCEPT:
a. “WHO WAS, WHO IS,WHO ISTO COME” (Rev. 1:4 “…
Grace and peace to you from who was, who is, who is to
come…”) also in verse 8
b. The TRI-UNE GOD:V. 4 “Grace and peace to you from…”
Father – “one who is was, is, is to come”
Holy Spirit – “and from the ‘seven spirits’ before his
throne…”
Jesus Christ – “the faithful witness, the firstborn from
among the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth”
c. “Write therefore WHATYOU HAVE SEEN, WHAT IS
NOW, AND WHAT WILLTAKE PLACE LATER.” (Rev.
1:19)
“At the mouth of two or three witnesses shall he that is worthy of
death be put to death” (Deut. 17:6, Deut. 19:15; Matthew 18:15-
18…)
In the last days, TWO WITNESSES will condemn the world that will
finally reject Christ. (REV. 11:3 – REITERATION OFTHETORAH)
THE PRINCIPLE OF UNITY ANDWHOLE:
Revelations 1:7 “DO NOT BE AFRAID, I am the Alpha and the
Omega,The Beginning and the End, I am the Living One; I was
dead, and behold I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the
keys of death and Hades.”
THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS ISTHE GREAT AND FINAL
VALIDATOR OF EVERYTHING HE SAYS, including the future!
 The SEVEN CHURCHES: (interpretation:)
1. Historical seven churches in Asia in the time
of John
2. The spiritual nature of the church through
seven periods of history (according to this
interpretation, we are now the Laodicean
church)
3. SEVEN KINDS OF CHURCHES INTHE LAST
DAYS (the 1st and 3rd is what I adopt)
1.Ephesian church – doctrinally sound and
morally strict, BUT HAS LOST ITS FIRST LOVE
(warned that its lampstand will be removed
unless she repents) (Rev. 2:1-7)
2. The SMYRNA Church – the afflicted and poor
church, persecuted, but faithful (“you shall be
persecuted for ten days”) (Rev. 2:8-11)
3.The PERGAMUM Church – embraced the
teaching of balaam (who enticed Israel to sin);
Also had the Nicolaitan spirit (Rev. 2:12-17)
4. THYATIRA Church – a “good church” because of
its love, faith, and perseverance, but has the
Jezebel spirit; ANTI-ISRAEL, ANTI-
PROPHETIC (Rev. 2:18-29)
5.The SARDIS Church – a church with a good
“reputation” but is a DEAD CHURCH
(Rev. 3:1-6)
6. PHILADELPHIA CHURCH – the bridal church,
“spared from the hour of trial that is going to
come upon the whole world to TESTTHOSE
WHO LIVE ONTHE EARTH.” (Rev. 3:7-13)
7. LAODICEAN CHURCH
- Neither hot nor cold
- Wealthy and comfortable
- Confident (“I have need of nothing”)
- Counseled to “buy gold (from the Lord”
refined in the fire…” (Rev. 3:14-21)
THE COMMON MESSAGETO ALLTHE SEVEN
CHURCHES IS: OVERCOME!!!
That AFTER REV. 3 AND 4, there is no more
mention of the word “church”, therefore, they
conclude thatTHE CHURCHWAS ALREADY
RAPTURED, and the all the calamities that
happen beginning chap. 6 (seal judgments so-
called), the church is “no longer on earth”.
THEREARE SEVERAL SERIOUS PROBLEMSWITH
THISVIEW:
1. Saints and elect are mentioned after chap. 4
(the saints and the elect are the church)
2. This view does not jive with Matthew 24
This is the DIVINE
COUNCIL or HEAVENLY
COUNCIL also seen by
Daniel and Ezekiel
 1 And I saw in the right hand of Him who sat on the
throne A SCROLL written inside and on the back, sealed
with seven seals.
 2Then I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice,
"Who is worthy to open the scroll and to loose its seals?"
 3 And no one in heaven or on the earth or under the earth
was able to open the scroll, or to look at it.
 4 So I wept much, because no one was found worthy to
open and read the scroll, or to look at it.
 5 But one of the elders said to me, "Do not weep. Behold,
the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has
prevailed to open the scroll and to loose its seven seals."
A Lamb… that
has been
slain, with
seven eyes
and seven
horns… able
to open the
scroll and its
seven seals
(Rev. 5:5-6)
THE LAMB
WAS
STANDING
…
REVELATION 6 – the SIX SEALS BROKEN (INCLUDINGTHE FOUR
HORSEMEN vision)
REVELATION 7 – the sealing of the 144,000 Jewish witnesses
REVELATION 8 – the SEVENTH SEAL:
v. 1-2 – SEVEN ANGELS WITH SEVENTRUMPETS
v. 3-4 – an ANGELTHROWSTHE GOLDEN CENSER FULL OF
INCENSE, throws down to earth (with lightnings, thunders and
earthquake) – LASTTIME PRAYER IS MENTIONED
v. 6-13 – FOURTRUMPET JUDGMENTS (3rd of earth burned up, 3rd
of sea destroyed/blood, wormwood posions rivers and waters,
stellar calamities)
REVELATION 9 – are the 5th and 6th TRUMPET JUDGMENTS
(locusts/demons released from the Abyss to torment people
except those who have the mark or seal of God,
four angels of the Euphrates – massive global war, 3rd of mankind
dead)
Revelation 10 –The angel and the “little scroll”
– this involves SEVENTHUNDERS but which
was not revealed (John was not allowed to
write about it)
Revelation 11 – the two witnesses
Rev. 12 – the woman and the dragon
Rev. 13 – the beast out of the sea
Rev. 14 – the Lamb and the 144,000
Rev. 15 – SevenAngels with SEVEN PLAGUES
Rev. 16 – Seven BOWL JUDGMENTS…
1st bowl – ugly and painful sores
and boils on people who have
the mark of the beast
2nd bowl – all sea life died
3rd bowl – rivers and springs of
waters became blood
4th bowl – scorching sun burning
people alive
5th bowl – total darkness (with sores and boils), men cursing
God
6th bowl – Euphrates invasion, kings of the east –
ARMAGEDDON
7th bowl – GLOBAL EARTHQUAKE, islands moved, huge
hailstones falling, men killed (“the plague was so terrible”)
Rev. 18 – the fall of Babylon
Rev. 19 – the exultation of the Bride
Rev. 20 – the millennial reign
Rev. 21 – the New Jerusalem’
Rev. 22 – the new heaven and new earth, river
of life
WE FOCUS INTHE MEANTIME ONTHE 7
SEALS, 7TRUMPETS, 7 BOWLS:
THE GREAT
PROMISE OF
THE
RAPTURE!!!
BUTTHE
QUESTION
IS, WHEN
WILL IT
OCCUR?????
 a.The word "rapture" per se is not found in
Scripture.The Greek word is "harpazo." It is used
seven times in the NewTestament. (Matt. 13:19,
John 10:12, Acts 8:39, II Cor. 12:2,4, IThess. 4:17,
and Rev. 12:5) In each case it means something
was quickly grabbed, snared or seized.
 c.The actual Greek word literally can be
translated, "shall be seized.“
 WHERE ISTHAT PROMISED INTHE BIBLE?
 13 But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren,
concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow
as others who have no hope.
 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even
so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus.
 15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that
we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord
will by no means precede those who are asleep.
 16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with
a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the
trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.
 17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up
together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in
the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.
 18 Therefore comfort one another with these words.
 WHEN ISTHE RAPTURE GOINGTOTAKE
PLACE?
 Popular answer is “ANYTIME” – IMMINENT
(mainly because of the “thief in the night”
theory)
BUTTHE BOOK OF REVELATION DOES NOT
SUPPORTAN IMMINENT RAPTUREVIEW.
THERE ARETHINGSTHAT MUSTTAKE PLACE
BEFORETHE RAPTURE CAN HAPPEN…
That is why re-check the Book of Revelation…

 ESTHER 8:8 "You yourselves write a decree concerning
the Jews, as you please, in the king's name, and seal it
with the king's signet ring; for whatever is written in
the king's name and sealed with the king's signet ring
no one can revoke.“
 A SEAL in this context is:
1. A DECREE OF A KING
2. ONCE OPENED AND READ, IT CANNOT BE
REVERSED (WHENTHE “SEAL SEASON” COMES, IT
CANNOT BE STOPPED ANYMORE)
3. IT NEEDS AN AUTHORITY FIGURETO BREAKTHE
SEAL
 6 And I looked, and behold, in the midst of the throne and of the
four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb
as though it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes,
which are the seven Spirits of God sent out into all the earth.
 7 Then He came and took the scroll out of the right hand of Him
who sat on the throne.
 8 Now when He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and
the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a
harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of
the saints.
 9 And they sang a new song, saying: "You are worthy to take the
scroll, And to open its seals; ForYou were slain, And have
redeemed us to God byYour blood Out of every tribe and tongue
and people and nation,
 10 And have made us kings and priests to our God; And we shall
reign on the earth."
 1 Now I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals; and
I heard one of the four living creatures saying with a voice
like thunder, "Come and see."
 2 And I looked, and behold, a white horse. He who sat on
it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he
went out conquering and to conquer. (FALSE MESSIAH)
 3When He opened the second seal, I heard the second
living creature saying, "Come and see."
 4 Another horse, fiery red, went out. And it was granted
to the one who sat on it to take peace from the earth,
and that people should kill one another; and there was
given to him a great sword. (GLOBAL FEAR, KILLINGS)
 5When He opened the third seal, I heard the third living
creature say, "Come and see." So I looked, and behold, a
black horse, and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his
hand.
 6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, "A
quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a
denarius; and do not harm the oil and the wine.“ (FAMINE, HUNGER)
 7When He opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living
creature saying, "Come and see."
 8 So I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And the name of him who sat
on it was Death, and Hades followed with him. And power was given
to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, with hunger,
with death, and by the beasts of the earth. (DEATH IN WAR, FAMINE,
PLAGUES)
 9When He opened the fifth seal, I saw UNDERTHE ALTAR the souls of
those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony
which they held. (PERSECUTION OF CHRISTIANS)
 10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, "How long, O Lord, holy
and true, untilYou judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on
the earth?"
 11Then a white robe was given to each of them; and it was said to them
that they should rest a little while longer, until both the number of
their fellow servants and their brethren, who would be killed as they
were, was completed.
 12 I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was
a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of
hair, and the moon became like blood.
 13 And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops
its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind.
 14Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every
mountain and island was moved out of its place.
 15 And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the
commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid
themselves in the caves 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 who sits on the throne and from the wrath of
the Lamb!
 17 "For the GREAT DAY OF HIS WRATH has come, and who is
able to stand?"
WHY?Two very significant things happen in
Revelation 7 and 8…
1 After these things I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding the
four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, on the sea, or on
any tree.
2Then I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God. And
he cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was granted to harm the earth and
the sea,
3 saying, "DO NOT HARMTHE EARTH,THE SEA, ORTHETREESTILLWE HAVE SEALED
THE SERVANTS OF OUR GOD ONTHEIR FOREHEADS."
4 And I heard THE NUMBER OFTHOSE WHO WERE SEALED. ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY-
FOURTHOUSAND OF ALLTHETRIBES OFTHE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL WERE SEALED:
5 of the tribe of Judah twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand
were sealed; of the tribe of Gad twelve thousand were sealed;
6 of the tribe of Asher twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand
were sealed; of the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand were sealed;
7 of the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Levi twelve thousand
were sealed; of the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand were sealed;
8 of the tribe of Zebulun twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Joseph twelve
thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Benjamin twelve thousand were sealed. (NO DAN)
 Re 7:9 AFTER THESETHINGS I looked, and lo, a
GREAT MULTITUDE, which no man
could number, out of all nations and kindreds
and people and tongues, stood before the
throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white
robes, with palms in their hands.
 10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying,
Salvation to our God sitting on the throne, and
to the Lamb.
 11 And all the angels stood around the throne,
and the elders, and the four living creatures, and
they fell before the throne on their faces and
worshiped God,
 12 saying, Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom
and thanksgiving and honor and power and
might be to our God forever and ever. Amen.
What is this sight? How did
they get there???
WHERE DIDTHEY COME
FROM???
WHYWERETHEY NOT SEEN
BY JOHN BEFORE???
 13 And one of the elders answered, saying to me, Who are
these who are arrayed in white robes, and FROM
WHERE DOTHEY COME?
 14 And I said to him, Sir, you know. And he said to me,
THESE ARETHE ONES WHO CAME OUT OF GREAT
TRIBULATION AND HAVE WASHEDTHEIR ROBES, AND
HAVEWHITENEDTHEM INTHE BLOOD OFTHE LAMB.
 15Therefore they are before the throne of God, and they
serve Him day and night in His temple. And He sitting on
the throne will dwell among them.
 16 They will not hunger any more, nor thirst any more,
nor will the sun light on them, nor any heat.
 17 For the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will
feed them and will lead them to the fountains of living
waters. And God will wipe away all tears from their
eyes.
 They are
FIRST
SEEN in
Rev. 7:13
This could
ONLY BE
THE
RESULT OF
THE
RAPTURE!
REVELATIONS 5:11-12
“11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels
round about the throne and the beasts and the
elders: and the number of them was ten thousand
times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;
12 Saying with a loud voice,Worthy is the Lamb that
was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom,
and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.”
NOTICE: NO MENTION OF SAINTS IS MADE, ONLY
ANGELS and elders, who have always been there
since Revelation 4.
 9When He opened the fifth seal, I saw UNDERTHE
ALTAR the souls of those who had been 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, untilYou judge and avenge our blood
on those who dwell on the earth?"
 11Then a white robe was given to each of them; and it
was said to them that they should rest a little while
longer, until both the number of their fellow servants and
their brethren, who would be killed as they were, was
completed. (WHERE AND WHEN THIS KILLING TAKE
PLACE? In the tribulation period.)
NOTE: “UNDERTHE ALTAR” means grace period;
“BEFORETHETHRONE” is judgment day.
THE FIRSTTIMETHE GREAT
MULTITUDE OF BELIEVERS FROM
EVERYTONGUE,TRIBE AND
NATION WAS AFTERTHE SIXTH
SEAL! (Revelation 7:9-17)
MEANING,THE CHRISTIANS HADTO
GOTHROUGHTHE FIRST FIVE
SEALS (Revelation 6) BEFORETHE
RAPTURE!
DOESTHAT MEANTHAT
THE CHRISTIAN HAS
TO GOTHROUGHTHE
TRIBULATION PERIOD?
MANY, MANY CHRISTIANS WANTTO
ANSWERTHAT QUESTION WITH A “NO!”
THEY “MAKE IT WORK” BY
DISTINGUISHING BETWEENTHE PRE-
TRIB RAPTURED SAINTS ONTHE ONE
HAND ANDTHETRIBULATION SAINTS ON
THE OTHER HAND.
Let us ask JESUS what He thinks and says:
21 "For then there will be great tribulation,
such as has not been since the beginning of
the world until this time, no, nor ever shall
be.
22 "And unless those days were shortened,
no flesh would be saved; but for the elect's
sake those days will be shortened.
(NKJV)
29 "Immediately after the tribulation of those days the
sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its
light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of
the heavens will be shaken.
30 "Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in
heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will
mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on
the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31 "And He will send His angels with a great sound of
a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect
from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the
other.”
WHAT ARETHE IMPLICATIONS OF ALLTHESE
THINGS IN RELATIONTOTHE BOOK OF
REVELATION?
1. WE ARE SURETO BE AROUND DURINGTHE
PERIOD OFTHE SIX SEALS.
2. WEWILL MOST LIKELY BE AROUND INTHE
PERIOD OFTHE 7TRUMPET JUDGMENTS
3. WILLWE STILL PROBABLY BE AROUND IN
THE 7 BOWLS?
YES, I BELIEVETHERE IS AWAY OF
KNOWING.
I BELIEVETHE KEY ISTHE PROMISE OFTHE
LORDTHAT WE ARE NOT APPOINTED
UNTOWRATH, ANDTO LOCATEWHERE
THEWRATH BEGINS…
 1 But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I
should write to you.
 2 For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a
thief in the night.
 3 For when they say, "Peace and safety!" then sudden destruction comes upon
them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape.
 4 But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake
you as a thief.
 5You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of
darkness.
 6Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober.
 7 For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at
night.
 8 But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and
love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation.
 9 FOR GOD DID NOT APPOINT USTO WRATH,
BUTTO OBTAIN SALVATION THROUGH OUR
LORD JESUS CHRIST,
1. ThatWEWILL NOT PASSTHROUGHTHE
TRIBULATION PERIOD
2. That we will not go to hell
3. That we will pass through the tribulation
period but we will not suffer the wrath of
God during this period
WHICH IS WHICH?
REVELATIONS 6:12-17
12 I looked when He opened THE SIXTH SEAL, and behold, there
was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of
hair, and the moon became like blood.
13 And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late
figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind.
14Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every
mountain and island was moved out of its place.
15 And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the
commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid
themselves in the caves 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 who sits on the throne and from the WRATH OF
THE LAMB!
17 "For the GREAT DAY OF HIS WRATH has come, and who is able
to stand?"
THIS IS WHERETHE WORD WRATH APPEARS FIRST TIME IN
REVELATION, ON THE SIXTH SEAL.
BUTTHEWORD “SAINTS” still appear in
Rev. 8:3, 8:4, 11.18, 13:7, 13:10, 14:12, 15:13, 16:6
17:6, and 18:24, which is the season of the 7
trumpets and 7 bowl judgments already!! (plus
19 and 20)
Plus the words of Jesus!
Mt 24:21 "For then there will be great tribulation,
such as has not been since the beginning of the
world until this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22 "And unless those days were shortened, no
flesh would be saved; but for the elect's sake
those days will be shortened.
1. Matthew 24 on the tribulation is “time of
Jacob’s trouble”, only for the Jews, but not for
Christians;
(I do not believe this because the word “elect” is
also for the church, and the rapture “after the
tribulation of those days” is from the four
corners of the earth…)
2. On the appearance of the word “saints” in
Revelations 8 to 18, there is an
“INTERRUPTIONTHEORY” by John Shorey
That Jesus was the
REVELATOR, that he was
SEQUENTIALLY NARATING
TO JOHNTHE EVENTS, but
he was “interrupted” by
angels who excitedly gave
more details, and so the
revelation account seems to
repeat certain events that
have already taken place…
He believes that
there is a very
strong
possibility for the
SEALS SEASON
to be in the years
before 2020
It is based on REVELATIONS 16 which begins in verse
1: “Then I heard a loud voice from the temple saying
to the seven angels, "Go and pour out THE BOWLS
OFTHEWRATH OF GOD on the earth.“
-- HERE, IT IS EXPLICIT FROM GOD (OR HEAVEN ITSELF, that the
BOWL JUDGMENTS ARETHE WRATH OF GOD.
-- earlier, in Rev. 6:12 (SIXTH SEAL), it is MEN WHO CRIED OUT AND
COMPLAINED THAT “THE WRATH OFTHE LAMB” HAS FALLEN.
In Rev. 16:1, it is heaven itself saying.
--THE POINT: if Christians are “NOT APPOINTED TO WRATH”
(ITHESS. 5:9), then that means Christians must be raptured
BEFORETHE 7 BOWL JUDGMENTS.
Considering that we will ALMOST
SURELY GOTHROUGHTHE SEALS
SEASON, and most likely the 7
TRUMPET SEASONS, or even
POSSIBLY (but in my view remotely the
7 BOWL SEASONS),
WE MUST PREPARE!!
 1Pe 4:1Therefore, since Christ suffered for us in the flesh,
arm yourselves also with the same mind, for he who has
suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,
 7 But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious
and watchful in your prayers.
 12 Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery
trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing
happened to you;
 13 but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ's
sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also
be glad with exceeding joy.
 14 If you are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed are
you, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. On
their part He is blasphemed, but on your part He is glorified.
 15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, a thief, an
evildoer, or as a busybody in other people's matters.
 16Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be
ashamed, but let him glorify God in this matter.
 17 FORTHETIME HAS COME FOR JUDGMENTTO
BEGIN ATTHE HOUSE OF GOD; AND IF IT BEGINS
WITH US FIRST, WHAT WILL BETHE END OF
THOSE WHO DO NOT OBEYTHE GOSPEL OF GOD?
 18 Now "If the righteous one is scarcely saved,Where
will the ungodly and the sinner appear?"
 19 Therefore let those who suffer according to the
will of God commit their souls to Him in doing
good, as to a faithful Creator.
STUDYTHETHEMES OFTHE SIX SEALS –
Killings, hunger, famine, plague, wars
WHAT CAN WE DO?
1. Noah PREPARED AN ARK for his family
-- ask the Lord what is your ark
2. Joseph stored food in the years of plenty in preparation
for the years of famine
-- look at your food and water supply
Matt. 24:45 – the wise and faithful servant prepares food…
3. The Lord prepared a GOSHEN for the people of Israel
-- what is your goshen? How do you “goshenize” your place?
4. ISRAEL under Moses was protected by the
SIGNS ANDWONDERS OFTHE LORD
-- be open to prophetic movement, which is
ready for signs and wonders
5. Lot had to escape/run quickly to be saved
from the fire on Sodom and Gomorrah
-- some suggest a readiness for quick,
emergency movement or flight
1. YOUR WALK WITHTHE LORD!!!
(Colossians 2-3)
2. YOUR PRAYER LIFE!!!
(Psalm 91, Matthew 6 – ONTHE SECRET
PLACE)
3. YOUR BODY A LIVING SACRIFICE, HOLY,
ACCEPTABLE UNTOTHE LORD (Romans
12:1-3)
4. DOINGTHE GREAT COMMISSION
(Matthew 28:18-20)
The “great assembly” in heaven (RAPTURE) is in
REVELATION 8.
JUST BEFORE THAT, the SEALING OFTHE 144,000
JEWISH WITNESSES take place in Revelation 7.
WE COULD NOT BE RAPTURED UNTILTHE 144,000
JEWISH WITNESSES ARE FULLY ASSEMBLED AND
SEALED!!
FOOD FOR THOUGHT:
IFYOU ARE A CHRISTIAN DESIROUS FORTHE
RAPTURE, PERHAPSYOU MIGHT SERIOUSLY
CONSIDER A MINISTRY OF SERIOUS EVANGELISM
TOTHE JEWS!! Or at least pray for the Jews!!!
The GLORY of His:
1. Protection (NOAH)
2. Provision (JOSEPH)
3. Signs and wonders (MOSES)
4. BUT ALSO, THE GLORY OF SUFFERING
FOR JESUS IF NEED BE
5. THE GLORY OF DYING FOR JESUS IF
NEED BE
 Acts 5:41
So they went on their way from the presence of
the Council, rejoicing that they had been
considered worthy to suffer shame for His
name.
 Romans 8:17
and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and
fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer
with Him so that we may also be glorified
with Him.
 Philippians 3:10
that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection and the
fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death;
 2Timothy 2:12
If we endure, we will also reign with Him; If we deny Him, He also
will deny us;
 Matthew 5:
10 Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake,
For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 "Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say
all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake.
12 "Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in
heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
 25 And being confident of this, I know that I shall remain and
continue with you all for your progress and joy of faith,
 26 that your rejoicing for me may be more abundant in Jesus
Christ by my coming to you again.
 27 Only let your conduct be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that
whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your
affairs, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving
together for the faith of the gospel,
 28 and not in any way terrified by your adversaries, which is to
them a proof of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that from
God.
 29 FORTOYOU IT HAS BEEN GRANTED ON
BEHALF OF CHRIST, NOT ONLYTO
BELIEVE IN HIM, BUT ALSOTO SUFFER
FOR HIS SAKE,

An overview of revelations

  • 2. 1. An over-all outline of Revelation (THE OUTLINEWILL GIVE US AN IDEA OFTHE EVENTSTHATWILLTAKE PLACE INTHE FUTURE) 2. We want to pay particular attention to THE TIMING OFTHE RAPTURE in relation to THE END-TIME EVENTS, especially the 7 SEALS, THETRUMPETS, and the 7 BOWL JUDGMENTS 3. We want to know HOWWE CAN PREPARE, based on Biblical precedents
  • 3. ISAIAH 46: 9 Remember the former things of old, For I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me, 10 Declaring the end from the beginning, And from ancient times things that are not yet done, Saying, 'My counsel shall stand,And I will do all My pleasure,'
  • 4. EXODUS 19 – God comes down as LAW GIVER REVELATION – God comes down as JUDGE AND KING (Note: when He came down as SAVIOUR, there was no thunder and lighting, smoke and fire. There was only a heavenly choir…
  • 5. TORAH: 1. NOAH’s time – FLOOD 2. LOTS’s time – FIRE 3. JOSEPH’S time – FAMINE 4. MOSES’ time – persecution of God’s people, God’s deliverance, Pharaoh’s armed FORCES REVELATIONS: 1. Flood of calamities 2. Fire and hailstone 3. Famine disease death 4. Persecution of believers; armies at war
  • 6. TORAH: 1. Noah’S ARK 2. Joseph’s BARN (DEPOT) 3. Lot’s ESCAPE 4. MOSES’s signs and wonders, pillar of cloud and fire, Parting of red sea REVELATION: 1. God’s promises and will is our ark 2. God’s supplies and provisions 3. Escape of God’s people 4. Signs and wonders protectingGod’s people
  • 7. REVELATIONS 1:1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to him, to show his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servantJohn: (KJV) 1. IT IS JESUS WHO REVEALS (v. 1) to John 2. THE REVELATION CAME FROMTHE FATHER (GOD) WHO GAVE ITTO JESUS (v. 1) 3. The revelation is “FOR HIS SERVANTS” -- not for an elite few -- not for seminary people only -- not for scholars only or professors or theologians -- it is FOR ALLWHO SERVE THE LORD!!
  • 8. Revelations 1:2 Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw. (KJV) -- “who testifies to everything he saw – that is, theWord of God – and the testimony of Jesus Christ” (NIV) 4. Revelations is heavily VISIONS (“everything that he saw”) 5. WHAT JOHN SAW WAS “THE WORD OF GOD” -- all the events that transpired, that transpire, and will transpire, are ALL ACCORDINGTO WHAT GOD SAID (“the word” – the torah, the Scriptura, the rhema) 6. AND IT IS ALL ABOUT JESUS – his coming, his reign, his judgment, his bride, etc…
  • 9. Revelations 1:3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand. (KJV) (“the time is near”) NIV “THETIME IS NEAR” (??? – this was given two thousand years ago!!) -- “…WITHTHE LORD, a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day” (2 Peter 3:8) -- REVELATIONS WAS GIVEN “TWO DAYS AGO” (2,000 years ago) by God’s count, to PREPARE US FORTHE THIRD DAY (the next millenium) -- BY JEWISH COUNT, we are entering the SEVENTH MILLENIA (which is the LORD’S “DAY” – HIS THOUSANDTHYEAR, after giving SIX MILLENIAL DAYS TO MAN)
  • 10. 1. THETRILOGY PRINCIPLE OR CONCEPT: a. “WHO WAS, WHO IS,WHO ISTO COME” (Rev. 1:4 “… Grace and peace to you from who was, who is, who is to come…”) also in verse 8 b. The TRI-UNE GOD:V. 4 “Grace and peace to you from…” Father – “one who is was, is, is to come” Holy Spirit – “and from the ‘seven spirits’ before his throne…” Jesus Christ – “the faithful witness, the firstborn from among the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth” c. “Write therefore WHATYOU HAVE SEEN, WHAT IS NOW, AND WHAT WILLTAKE PLACE LATER.” (Rev. 1:19)
  • 11. “At the mouth of two or three witnesses shall he that is worthy of death be put to death” (Deut. 17:6, Deut. 19:15; Matthew 18:15- 18…) In the last days, TWO WITNESSES will condemn the world that will finally reject Christ. (REV. 11:3 – REITERATION OFTHETORAH) THE PRINCIPLE OF UNITY ANDWHOLE: Revelations 1:7 “DO NOT BE AFRAID, I am the Alpha and the Omega,The Beginning and the End, I am the Living One; I was dead, and behold I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades.” THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS ISTHE GREAT AND FINAL VALIDATOR OF EVERYTHING HE SAYS, including the future!
  • 12.
  • 13.  The SEVEN CHURCHES: (interpretation:) 1. Historical seven churches in Asia in the time of John 2. The spiritual nature of the church through seven periods of history (according to this interpretation, we are now the Laodicean church) 3. SEVEN KINDS OF CHURCHES INTHE LAST DAYS (the 1st and 3rd is what I adopt)
  • 14. 1.Ephesian church – doctrinally sound and morally strict, BUT HAS LOST ITS FIRST LOVE (warned that its lampstand will be removed unless she repents) (Rev. 2:1-7) 2. The SMYRNA Church – the afflicted and poor church, persecuted, but faithful (“you shall be persecuted for ten days”) (Rev. 2:8-11) 3.The PERGAMUM Church – embraced the teaching of balaam (who enticed Israel to sin); Also had the Nicolaitan spirit (Rev. 2:12-17)
  • 15. 4. THYATIRA Church – a “good church” because of its love, faith, and perseverance, but has the Jezebel spirit; ANTI-ISRAEL, ANTI- PROPHETIC (Rev. 2:18-29) 5.The SARDIS Church – a church with a good “reputation” but is a DEAD CHURCH (Rev. 3:1-6) 6. PHILADELPHIA CHURCH – the bridal church, “spared from the hour of trial that is going to come upon the whole world to TESTTHOSE WHO LIVE ONTHE EARTH.” (Rev. 3:7-13)
  • 16. 7. LAODICEAN CHURCH - Neither hot nor cold - Wealthy and comfortable - Confident (“I have need of nothing”) - Counseled to “buy gold (from the Lord” refined in the fire…” (Rev. 3:14-21) THE COMMON MESSAGETO ALLTHE SEVEN CHURCHES IS: OVERCOME!!!
  • 17. That AFTER REV. 3 AND 4, there is no more mention of the word “church”, therefore, they conclude thatTHE CHURCHWAS ALREADY RAPTURED, and the all the calamities that happen beginning chap. 6 (seal judgments so- called), the church is “no longer on earth”. THEREARE SEVERAL SERIOUS PROBLEMSWITH THISVIEW: 1. Saints and elect are mentioned after chap. 4 (the saints and the elect are the church) 2. This view does not jive with Matthew 24
  • 18. This is the DIVINE COUNCIL or HEAVENLY COUNCIL also seen by Daniel and Ezekiel
  • 19.  1 And I saw in the right hand of Him who sat on the throne A SCROLL written inside and on the back, sealed with seven seals.  2Then I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, "Who is worthy to open the scroll and to loose its seals?"  3 And no one in heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll, or to look at it.  4 So I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open and read the scroll, or to look at it.  5 But one of the elders said to me, "Do not weep. Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the scroll and to loose its seven seals."
  • 20. A Lamb… that has been slain, with seven eyes and seven horns… able to open the scroll and its seven seals (Rev. 5:5-6) THE LAMB WAS STANDING …
  • 21. REVELATION 6 – the SIX SEALS BROKEN (INCLUDINGTHE FOUR HORSEMEN vision) REVELATION 7 – the sealing of the 144,000 Jewish witnesses REVELATION 8 – the SEVENTH SEAL: v. 1-2 – SEVEN ANGELS WITH SEVENTRUMPETS v. 3-4 – an ANGELTHROWSTHE GOLDEN CENSER FULL OF INCENSE, throws down to earth (with lightnings, thunders and earthquake) – LASTTIME PRAYER IS MENTIONED v. 6-13 – FOURTRUMPET JUDGMENTS (3rd of earth burned up, 3rd of sea destroyed/blood, wormwood posions rivers and waters, stellar calamities) REVELATION 9 – are the 5th and 6th TRUMPET JUDGMENTS (locusts/demons released from the Abyss to torment people except those who have the mark or seal of God, four angels of the Euphrates – massive global war, 3rd of mankind dead)
  • 22. Revelation 10 –The angel and the “little scroll” – this involves SEVENTHUNDERS but which was not revealed (John was not allowed to write about it) Revelation 11 – the two witnesses Rev. 12 – the woman and the dragon Rev. 13 – the beast out of the sea Rev. 14 – the Lamb and the 144,000 Rev. 15 – SevenAngels with SEVEN PLAGUES Rev. 16 – Seven BOWL JUDGMENTS…
  • 23. 1st bowl – ugly and painful sores and boils on people who have the mark of the beast 2nd bowl – all sea life died 3rd bowl – rivers and springs of waters became blood 4th bowl – scorching sun burning people alive 5th bowl – total darkness (with sores and boils), men cursing God 6th bowl – Euphrates invasion, kings of the east – ARMAGEDDON 7th bowl – GLOBAL EARTHQUAKE, islands moved, huge hailstones falling, men killed (“the plague was so terrible”)
  • 24. Rev. 18 – the fall of Babylon Rev. 19 – the exultation of the Bride Rev. 20 – the millennial reign Rev. 21 – the New Jerusalem’ Rev. 22 – the new heaven and new earth, river of life WE FOCUS INTHE MEANTIME ONTHE 7 SEALS, 7TRUMPETS, 7 BOWLS:
  • 25.
  • 26.
  • 28.  a.The word "rapture" per se is not found in Scripture.The Greek word is "harpazo." It is used seven times in the NewTestament. (Matt. 13:19, John 10:12, Acts 8:39, II Cor. 12:2,4, IThess. 4:17, and Rev. 12:5) In each case it means something was quickly grabbed, snared or seized.  c.The actual Greek word literally can be translated, "shall be seized.“  WHERE ISTHAT PROMISED INTHE BIBLE?
  • 29.  13 But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope.  14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus.  15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep.  16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.  17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.  18 Therefore comfort one another with these words.
  • 30.  WHEN ISTHE RAPTURE GOINGTOTAKE PLACE?  Popular answer is “ANYTIME” – IMMINENT (mainly because of the “thief in the night” theory) BUTTHE BOOK OF REVELATION DOES NOT SUPPORTAN IMMINENT RAPTUREVIEW. THERE ARETHINGSTHAT MUSTTAKE PLACE BEFORETHE RAPTURE CAN HAPPEN… That is why re-check the Book of Revelation…

A DECREE OF A KING 2. ONCE OPENED AND READ, IT CANNOT BE REVERSED (WHENTHE “SEAL SEASON” COMES, IT CANNOT BE STOPPED ANYMORE) 3. IT NEEDS AN AUTHORITY FIGURETO BREAKTHE SEAL
  • 38.  6 And I looked, and behold, in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as though it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent out into all the earth.  7 Then He came and took the scroll out of the right hand of Him who sat on the throne.  8 Now when He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.  9 And they sang a new song, saying: "You are worthy to take the scroll, And to open its seals; ForYou were slain, And have redeemed us to God byYour blood Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,  10 And have made us kings and priests to our God; And we shall reign on the earth."
  • 39.  1 Now I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals; and I heard one of the four living creatures saying with a voice like thunder, "Come and see."  2 And I looked, and behold, a white horse. He who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer. (FALSE MESSIAH)  3When He opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, "Come and see."  4 Another horse, fiery red, went out. And it was granted to the one who sat on it to take peace from the earth, and that people should kill one another; and there was given to him a great sword. (GLOBAL FEAR, KILLINGS)  5When He opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, "Come and see." So I looked, and behold, a black horse, and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand.
  • 40.  6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, "A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not harm the oil and the wine.“ (FAMINE, HUNGER)  7When He opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, "Come and see."  8 So I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And the name of him who sat on it was Death, and Hades followed with him. And power was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, with hunger, with death, and by the beasts of the earth. (DEATH IN WAR, FAMINE, PLAGUES)  9When He opened the fifth seal, I saw UNDERTHE ALTAR the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held. (PERSECUTION OF CHRISTIANS)  10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, "How long, O Lord, holy and true, untilYou judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?"  11Then a white robe was given to each of them; and it was said to them that they should rest a little while longer, until both the number of their fellow servants and their brethren, who would be killed as they were, was completed.
  • 41.  12 I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood.  13 And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind.  14Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place.  15 And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves 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 who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb!  17 "For the GREAT DAY OF HIS WRATH has come, and who is able to stand?"
  • 42. WHY?Two very significant things happen in Revelation 7 and 8…
  • 43. 1 After these things I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, on the sea, or on any tree. 2Then I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God. And he cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was granted to harm the earth and the sea, 3 saying, "DO NOT HARMTHE EARTH,THE SEA, ORTHETREESTILLWE HAVE SEALED THE SERVANTS OF OUR GOD ONTHEIR FOREHEADS." 4 And I heard THE NUMBER OFTHOSE WHO WERE SEALED. ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY- FOURTHOUSAND OF ALLTHETRIBES OFTHE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL WERE SEALED: 5 of the tribe of Judah twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Gad twelve thousand were sealed; 6 of the tribe of Asher twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand were sealed; 7 of the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Levi twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand were sealed; 8 of the tribe of Zebulun twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Benjamin twelve thousand were sealed. (NO DAN)
  • 44.  Re 7:9 AFTER THESETHINGS I looked, and lo, a GREAT MULTITUDE, which no man could number, out of all nations and kindreds and people and tongues, stood before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palms in their hands.  10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God sitting on the throne, and to the Lamb.  11 And all the angels stood around the throne, and the elders, and the four living creatures, and they fell before the throne on their faces and worshiped God,  12 saying, Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God forever and ever. Amen.
  • 45. What is this sight? How did they get there??? WHERE DIDTHEY COME FROM??? WHYWERETHEY NOT SEEN BY JOHN BEFORE???
  • 46.  13 And one of the elders answered, saying to me, Who are these who are arrayed in white robes, and FROM WHERE DOTHEY COME?  14 And I said to him, Sir, you know. And he said to me, THESE ARETHE ONES WHO CAME OUT OF GREAT TRIBULATION AND HAVE WASHEDTHEIR ROBES, AND HAVEWHITENEDTHEM INTHE BLOOD OFTHE LAMB.  15Therefore they are before the throne of God, and they serve Him day and night in His temple. And He sitting on the throne will dwell among them.  16 They will not hunger any more, nor thirst any more, nor will the sun light on them, nor any heat.  17 For the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will feed them and will lead them to the fountains of living waters. And God will wipe away all tears from their eyes.
  • 47.  They are FIRST SEEN in Rev. 7:13 This could ONLY BE THE RESULT OF THE RAPTURE!
  • 48. REVELATIONS 5:11-12 “11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; 12 Saying with a loud voice,Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.” NOTICE: NO MENTION OF SAINTS IS MADE, ONLY ANGELS and elders, who have always been there since Revelation 4.
  • 49.  9When He opened the fifth seal, I saw UNDERTHE ALTAR the souls of those who had been 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, untilYou judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?"  11Then a white robe was given to each of them; and it was said to them that they should rest a little while longer, until both the number of their fellow servants and their brethren, who would be killed as they were, was completed. (WHERE AND WHEN THIS KILLING TAKE PLACE? In the tribulation period.) NOTE: “UNDERTHE ALTAR” means grace period; “BEFORETHETHRONE” is judgment day.
  • 50. THE FIRSTTIMETHE GREAT MULTITUDE OF BELIEVERS FROM EVERYTONGUE,TRIBE AND NATION WAS AFTERTHE SIXTH SEAL! (Revelation 7:9-17) MEANING,THE CHRISTIANS HADTO GOTHROUGHTHE FIRST FIVE SEALS (Revelation 6) BEFORETHE RAPTURE!
  • 51. DOESTHAT MEANTHAT THE CHRISTIAN HAS TO GOTHROUGHTHE TRIBULATION PERIOD?
  • 52. MANY, MANY CHRISTIANS WANTTO ANSWERTHAT QUESTION WITH A “NO!” THEY “MAKE IT WORK” BY DISTINGUISHING BETWEENTHE PRE- TRIB RAPTURED SAINTS ONTHE ONE HAND ANDTHETRIBULATION SAINTS ON THE OTHER HAND. Let us ask JESUS what He thinks and says:
  • 53. 21 "For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22 "And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect's sake those days will be shortened. (NKJV)
  • 54. 29 "Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 "Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 "And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.”
  • 55. WHAT ARETHE IMPLICATIONS OF ALLTHESE THINGS IN RELATIONTOTHE BOOK OF REVELATION? 1. WE ARE SURETO BE AROUND DURINGTHE PERIOD OFTHE SIX SEALS. 2. WEWILL MOST LIKELY BE AROUND INTHE PERIOD OFTHE 7TRUMPET JUDGMENTS 3. WILLWE STILL PROBABLY BE AROUND IN THE 7 BOWLS?
  • 56. YES, I BELIEVETHERE IS AWAY OF KNOWING. I BELIEVETHE KEY ISTHE PROMISE OFTHE LORDTHAT WE ARE NOT APPOINTED UNTOWRATH, ANDTO LOCATEWHERE THEWRATH BEGINS…
  • 57.  1 But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you.  2 For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night.  3 For when they say, "Peace and safety!" then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape.  4 But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief.  5You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness.  6Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober.  7 For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night.  8 But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation.  9 FOR GOD DID NOT APPOINT USTO WRATH, BUTTO OBTAIN SALVATION THROUGH OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST,
  • 58. 1. ThatWEWILL NOT PASSTHROUGHTHE TRIBULATION PERIOD 2. That we will not go to hell 3. That we will pass through the tribulation period but we will not suffer the wrath of God during this period WHICH IS WHICH?
  • 59. REVELATIONS 6:12-17 12 I looked when He opened THE SIXTH SEAL, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood. 13 And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind. 14Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place. 15 And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves 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 who sits on the throne and from the WRATH OF THE LAMB! 17 "For the GREAT DAY OF HIS WRATH has come, and who is able to stand?" THIS IS WHERETHE WORD WRATH APPEARS FIRST TIME IN REVELATION, ON THE SIXTH SEAL.
  • 60. BUTTHEWORD “SAINTS” still appear in Rev. 8:3, 8:4, 11.18, 13:7, 13:10, 14:12, 15:13, 16:6 17:6, and 18:24, which is the season of the 7 trumpets and 7 bowl judgments already!! (plus 19 and 20) Plus the words of Jesus! Mt 24:21 "For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22 "And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect's sake those days will be shortened.
  • 61. 1. Matthew 24 on the tribulation is “time of Jacob’s trouble”, only for the Jews, but not for Christians; (I do not believe this because the word “elect” is also for the church, and the rapture “after the tribulation of those days” is from the four corners of the earth…) 2. On the appearance of the word “saints” in Revelations 8 to 18, there is an “INTERRUPTIONTHEORY” by John Shorey
  • 62. That Jesus was the REVELATOR, that he was SEQUENTIALLY NARATING TO JOHNTHE EVENTS, but he was “interrupted” by angels who excitedly gave more details, and so the revelation account seems to repeat certain events that have already taken place…
  • 63. He believes that there is a very strong possibility for the SEALS SEASON to be in the years before 2020
  • 64. It is based on REVELATIONS 16 which begins in verse 1: “Then I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels, "Go and pour out THE BOWLS OFTHEWRATH OF GOD on the earth.“ -- HERE, IT IS EXPLICIT FROM GOD (OR HEAVEN ITSELF, that the BOWL JUDGMENTS ARETHE WRATH OF GOD. -- earlier, in Rev. 6:12 (SIXTH SEAL), it is MEN WHO CRIED OUT AND COMPLAINED THAT “THE WRATH OFTHE LAMB” HAS FALLEN. In Rev. 16:1, it is heaven itself saying. --THE POINT: if Christians are “NOT APPOINTED TO WRATH” (ITHESS. 5:9), then that means Christians must be raptured BEFORETHE 7 BOWL JUDGMENTS.
  • 65. Considering that we will ALMOST SURELY GOTHROUGHTHE SEALS SEASON, and most likely the 7 TRUMPET SEASONS, or even POSSIBLY (but in my view remotely the 7 BOWL SEASONS), WE MUST PREPARE!!
  • 66.  1Pe 4:1Therefore, since Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind, for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,  7 But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers.  12 Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you;  13 but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ's sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy.  14 If you are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed are you, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. On their part He is blasphemed, but on your part He is glorified.
  • 67.  15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, a thief, an evildoer, or as a busybody in other people's matters.  16Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this matter.  17 FORTHETIME HAS COME FOR JUDGMENTTO BEGIN ATTHE HOUSE OF GOD; AND IF IT BEGINS WITH US FIRST, WHAT WILL BETHE END OF THOSE WHO DO NOT OBEYTHE GOSPEL OF GOD?  18 Now "If the righteous one is scarcely saved,Where will the ungodly and the sinner appear?"  19 Therefore let those who suffer according to the will of God commit their souls to Him in doing good, as to a faithful Creator.
  • 68. STUDYTHETHEMES OFTHE SIX SEALS – Killings, hunger, famine, plague, wars WHAT CAN WE DO? 1. Noah PREPARED AN ARK for his family -- ask the Lord what is your ark 2. Joseph stored food in the years of plenty in preparation for the years of famine -- look at your food and water supply Matt. 24:45 – the wise and faithful servant prepares food… 3. The Lord prepared a GOSHEN for the people of Israel -- what is your goshen? How do you “goshenize” your place?
  • 69. 4. ISRAEL under Moses was protected by the SIGNS ANDWONDERS OFTHE LORD -- be open to prophetic movement, which is ready for signs and wonders 5. Lot had to escape/run quickly to be saved from the fire on Sodom and Gomorrah -- some suggest a readiness for quick, emergency movement or flight
  • 70. 1. YOUR WALK WITHTHE LORD!!! (Colossians 2-3) 2. YOUR PRAYER LIFE!!! (Psalm 91, Matthew 6 – ONTHE SECRET PLACE) 3. YOUR BODY A LIVING SACRIFICE, HOLY, ACCEPTABLE UNTOTHE LORD (Romans 12:1-3) 4. DOINGTHE GREAT COMMISSION (Matthew 28:18-20)
  • 71. The “great assembly” in heaven (RAPTURE) is in REVELATION 8. JUST BEFORE THAT, the SEALING OFTHE 144,000 JEWISH WITNESSES take place in Revelation 7. WE COULD NOT BE RAPTURED UNTILTHE 144,000 JEWISH WITNESSES ARE FULLY ASSEMBLED AND SEALED!! FOOD FOR THOUGHT: IFYOU ARE A CHRISTIAN DESIROUS FORTHE RAPTURE, PERHAPSYOU MIGHT SERIOUSLY CONSIDER A MINISTRY OF SERIOUS EVANGELISM TOTHE JEWS!! Or at least pray for the Jews!!!
  • 72. The GLORY of His: 1. Protection (NOAH) 2. Provision (JOSEPH) 3. Signs and wonders (MOSES) 4. BUT ALSO, THE GLORY OF SUFFERING FOR JESUS IF NEED BE 5. THE GLORY OF DYING FOR JESUS IF NEED BE
  • 73.  Acts 5:41 So they went on their way from the presence of the Council, rejoicing that they had been considered worthy to suffer shame for His name.  Romans 8:17 and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him.
  • 74.  Philippians 3:10 that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death;  2Timothy 2:12 If we endure, we will also reign with Him; If we deny Him, He also will deny us;  Matthew 5: 10 Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 "Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. 12 "Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
  • 75.  25 And being confident of this, I know that I shall remain and continue with you all for your progress and joy of faith,  26 that your rejoicing for me may be more abundant in Jesus Christ by my coming to you again.  27 Only let your conduct be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel,  28 and not in any way terrified by your adversaries, which is to them a proof of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that from God.  29 FORTOYOU IT HAS BEEN GRANTED ON BEHALF OF CHRIST, NOT ONLYTO BELIEVE IN HIM, BUT ALSOTO SUFFER FOR HIS SAKE,
