5. • The scroll itself has text on the inside and on the outside.
• Only Jesus was worthy to open the scroll
• The seven trumpets are part of the seventh seal (Rev 8:1-6)
• At the end of the seventh trumpet (that is, at the very end of the seventh seal),
it is said, Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in
heaven, saying, “The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of
our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!” (Rev 11:15).
• Thus, at the end of the seals, the world has become God's kingdom. When
everything in the scroll has transpired, the universe fully belongs to God.”

7. First Half of the Tribulation

8. First Half of the Tribulation
Revelation 6:1-2. Christ opens the first of the seven-sealed scroll, and
the rider on the white horse (probably Antichrist) appears, using
diplomacy and the promise of peace to establish his one-world
government.
Revelation 6:3-4. The second seal introduces a great world war.
Revelation 6:5-6. The third seal begins the suffering of famine and
inflation (the aftermath of war).
Revelation 6:7-8. The fourth seal results, as do all wars, in death, but in
this case it totals one-fourth of the people and living creatures. By
today’s population standards, that would amount to one-and-a-half
billion people. https://bible.org/illustration/events-tribulation-period

9. “When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who
had been slain for the word of God and for the witness they had borne.They
cried out with a loud voice, “O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, how long
before you will judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the
earth?” Then they were each given a white robe and told to rest a little
longer, until the number of their fellow servants and their brothers should be
complete, who were to be killed as they themselves had been.”
Revelation 6:9-11

17. “15 For this we declare to you by a word from the Lord,that we who are alive,
who are left until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have
fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of
command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet
of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive, who
are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord
in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord..” 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17
1 Corinthians 15:51–55 and John 14:2. Other passages, such as
Matthew 24:31; 2 Thessalonians 1:10; and Revelation 14:14–16
are debated.
What is the rapture?
“That Jesus is coming again to vindicate his church and judge
the enemies of God is the big essential. That is the blessed
hope of the church. When and how are not as essential. “
