1) The disciples ask Jesus about the signs of his second coming and the end of the world. He responds that there will be false prophets, wars, famines, earthquakes and persecution of Christians.
2) The opening of the seven seals in Revelation marks the beginning of the end times before Jesus' return. The first seals represent conquest on a white horse, conflict on a red horse, famine on a black horse, and death on a pale horse.
3) When the seventh seal is opened, there is silence in heaven for about half an hour in earth terms, which divine time equivalency calculations show represents approximately 20 years. This maps to the period between the two world wars.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

SIGNS THAT MARKS THE BEGINNING OF THE END OF DAYS AND THE
2ND COMING OF JESUS CHRIST
24:3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him
privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be
the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? 24:4 And Jesus
answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 24:5
For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive
many. 24:6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that ye be
not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not
yet. 24:7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against
kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes,
in divers places. 24:8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.24:9 Then
shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be
hated of all nations for my name's sake.24:10 And then shall many be
offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.

2. Book of Revelation 6:1-17
6:1And 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. 6:2And 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. 6:3And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the
second beast say, Come and see. 6:4And 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. 6:5And 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. 6:6And 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.6:7And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard
the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. 6:8And 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.

6:9And 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: 6:10And 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? 6:11And 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. 6:12And 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; 6:13And 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. 6:14And
the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every
mountain and island were moved out of their places. 6:15And 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; 6:16And 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: 6:17For the
great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

1 day = 24 hours
1 hour = 60 minutes
1,000 years / 24 hours = 41.67 years / hour

If 1 minute is equal to .694 years or approximately 8 months:
½ hour is equal to 30 minutes

9/1/1939 minus 11/11/1918 = 20 years, 9 months and 21 days
30 minutes = 249.99 months or 20 years, 9 months and 30 days
Take note that the interval of World War 1 and 2 lacks 9 days
versus the divine equivalent of “HALF AN HOUR” as stated in

9. SUMMARY ANALYSIS
1.) The Apostles ask Christ the signs that the end is near.
2.) Christ gives the signs which signify the beginning of
sorrows which signify the beginning of the end on the world.
3.) In the Book of Revelation, the opening of the 7 seals
marks the beginning before the 2nd coming.
4.) The opening of the 2nd seal signify the possible start of
the 1st major war which is the 1st world war also known as
the “1st great war” or “The war that ends all wars”.
5.) The opening of the 7th seal signify that there were silence
in heaven for “about the space of half an hour”.
6.) Take note that the term “about” used in the “Bible”
described that the silence after the opening of the 7 th seal is
not equal to the equivalent of the divine half hour to earthly
hour of 20 years, 9 months and 30 days. The difference is 9
