INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
Most people will agree that the End of Days Timeline begins with the Seven Seals of Revelation, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, from the 6th chapter of John's book. Once that first seal is opened, then the Book of Revelation end-time countdown will begin. Many people today are still waiting and expecting for that Illusive First Seal to be broken.
What a number of preachers, pastors and individuals don't realize or have not considered, is that the entire book of Revelation is a complete timeline from the days of John until the End Times, covering nearly 2000 years. John is explaining according to the Revelation that was given him the future of the world from his time until the Second Coming of Christ, the Millennium, and on into Eternity.
Yet an amazing amount of people, somehow, someway, expect that the entire book of Revelation from chapter 6 on will be fulfilled in the final seven years of world history!!! This is ridiculous!!! There is absolutely no biblical proof that the entirety of all 21 Judgments in the Seals, Trumpets and Vials is lumped into the final 7 years linked to the "Covenant with Many" prophesied from the Book of Daniel 9:27. And the biggest error of all... the one that most pretribulationalist believers fall into, is the one that says the Rapture of the Church MUST HAPPEN before the First Seal in Revelation 6. What's more, many even say that Rev. 4:1 is the Rapture, simply because John the Revelator said he heard a voice that said, "Come up here!" (I won't be too harsh here, because I have to admit that not long ago I was in this same camp... but there are so many obvious things that have happened that simply cannot be denied.)
ITS TIME TO HIT THE RESET BUTTON FOLKS! RESET!
The Book of Revelation is presented Chronologically, at least as far as the Seals, Trumpets, and Vials of God's Wrath are concerned. It was at the end of the seals, the seventh seal exactly, in Revelation 8:1-6, where we can see clearly the chronological sequence...
Revelation 8:1-2 When He opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and to them were given seven trumpets... 6) So the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.This is clearly showing that after the seals come the trumpets. The seventh Seal was the precursor to the Trumpets. It's all in chronological order.
We see another example of this when we reach the 4th trumpet. After the trumpet sounds and the judgment is sent out, there comes this warning, "“Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth, because of the remaining blasts of the trumpet of the three angels who are about to sound!” Rev 8:13.
One clearly leads to the other. The Seals, Trumpets, and Vials are all in chronological order. This being said, lets make the following point.
What if we were to say we have undeniable proof that the 3rd Trumpet sounded in a specific year, it would be quite reasonable and necessary that not only before it came the first 2 trumpets, but also the 7 seals before them. If the third trumpet sounded in a specific year, then we have to look backwards to see the fulfillment of everything before it, correct? Would you agree with this?
On the same note, based on our knowledge of when the 3rd trumpet sounded, now we would know to look for the fulfillment of the 4th trumpet in the future from there. This would give us the ability to discern pretty well where we are on the End of Days timeline, either depending on how long ago the last event took place or on what is happening right now. Fulfillment of prophecies are a gauge for us to know where we are, especially when those prophecies bring out events from a clearly specified biblical timeline. Also, if I knew that the third trumpet sounded in that specific year, then it would be obsolete and even dangerous to try to look for events to still happen that clearly have already been fulfilled.
WHAT DOES "NO MAN KNOWS THE DAY OR HOUR" MEAN?
Before we get into our timeline, we need to cover this reasoning, because its not only important for us to understand where we are in the timelines... Jesus commanded us to know!
Matthew 16:1-3 Then the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and testing Him asked that He would show them a sign from heaven. He answered and said to them, “When it is evening you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red’; and in the morning, ‘It will be foul weather today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ Hypocrites! You know how to discern the face of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times."Jesus was talking to the Pharisees and Sadducees here... the religious ones. These were those who thought they knew everything. He called them hypocrites because they had asked for a sign from heaven, yet the signs that were all around them they could not see. They could tell the weather, but they could not tell the signs of the coming of the Messiah. Jesus Himself was right there, in flesh and bones... and they were conversing with the Messiah, asking for a sign. DUH! THEY WERE BLIND! Can you just imagine what was happening right there, how there was so much to see but they had no idea... none whatsoever! They absolutely were blind to the fact that JESUS CHRIST THE MESSIAH WAS RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF THEM!
This is exactly what is happening today in the evangelical community. The majority of all religious leaders, and in sequence nearly all the congregations that exist, are completely lost as to what is happening in our world and the signs of the closeness of the coming of Christ. What did Jesus call the religious people who could not tell the signs of the times? Hypocrites! Fakers! Those who say they love the Lord, but lie! Hypocrites!
Jesus Weeps over Jerusalem - Luke 19:41-44
Now as He drew near, He saw the city and wept over it, saying, “If you had known, even you, especially in this your day, the things that make for your peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes. For days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment around you, surround you and close you in on every side, and level you, and your children within you, to the ground; and they will not leave in you one stone upon another, because you did not know the time of your visitation” (emphasis mine).
Then he goes on to say that the coming destruction that will befall Jerusalem, with not one stone left on another, is because they could not see and understand the time of their visitation. They could have avoided it. It could have been different. Yes God knows ahead of time what will happen... but that's not because He makes things happen the way they do. They must happen, because these are the consequences of a people that simply was negligent to carefully study and follow the signs of the times. They did not know the time of their visitation. Therefore, destruction had to come. It was the inevitable consequence for the Jews disobedience and negligence.
Would not things have been different if the Jews had accepted Christ? Imagine how different things would have been then and throughout history if the Jews had seen and understood that their Messiah had come, and if they had not plotted to kill Him. Then imagine if the Jews had accepted Christ and right then and there Jesus stayed with them to set up His kingdom. Wishful thinking.
Prophecy does not only display God's desire of what He controls, but His fore-knowledge of what will inevitably happen. Just because it is written doesn't mean it had to happen that way... just that God knew it would happen that way. God wants and commands us to understand the Signs of our Times, and He has made clear that not understanding will bring great confusion and destruction upon His people. That's why Jesus wept over Jerusalem, because they could not see their peace, their only hope, their Messiah. And He was standing right there in front of them.
THE SEALS
2. The Seals, Trumpets, and the Vials of God's Wrath are all in Chronological order.
3. The phrase "No man knows the Day or Hour" is not an excuse for laziness or apathy in our study of God's word. Even though we cannot know exactly when the Return of Christ will happen, we are COMMANDED to know the season. That is our challenge.
THE SEALS OF THE REVELATION
Before we consider all the possibilities about how the 7 Seals were opened between the first and 20th centuries, I want to fill you in on that third trumpet teaser I threw out at you from the first part of our study. I will not cover this in depth right here, but I want you to see that this prophecy has been fulfilled, and from here we can see backwards, and forwards, as to what we can look for and expect.
The Third Trumpet prophecy goes like this...
Revelation 8:10-11 Then the third angel sounded: And a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water. The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters became wormwood, and many men died from the water, because it was made bitter.Now watch this amazing teaser video that explains exactly... Wormwood in the Ukranian language is... CHERNOBYL! And the destruction that took place at Chernobyl is exactly as John prophesied it.
We will come back to the Trumpet Series in our next study, where we can confirm more precisely about this and all the other Trumpet Judgments. But for now let's remember that all the Judgments in Revelation come in chronological order. If this third Trumpet has already sounded, then we can be sure that all 7 Seals have been opened and also Trumpets 1 & 2.
Chernobyl happened in 1986. From here we can know that Trumpets 1 & 2 blew before this, and that after this we can expect to see fulfilled Trumpets 4-7. Obviously then, all 7 Seals were opened over the course of history dating from John's time, and being fulfilled before 1986.
There are many theories available of how the Seals were opened, and I would like to present one example that seems to fit the interpretations. For the sake of our study I will not be dogmatic about this being the only correct interpretation. We have already established based on chronology that these have been opened... that is what is important here as our foundation.
The Unsealing - how all of the seals of Revelation were opened*
Here is a brief overview of each seal. For a detailed explanation see the complete article.
The first four deal with what is commonly known as the four horsemen of the Apocalypse. They appear to have begun their epic ride with Constantine as you will see... and they are riding even today. The fifth seems to be an entirely spiritual event taking place in heaven; the saints of God petitioning the almighty - asking Him when He will avenge the deaths of His people. "Not yet" is His reply. The sixth and seventh seals are so stunningly obvious that to remain a skeptic following the reading of this essay is to deny logic itself.
Not much information is given about the first two. We can safely point to two individuals whose exploits still impact the world today. Seals three through seven give us more detail and therefore more to work with. And so we have discovered that God is trustworthy and His book is a guide we ignore at out own peril.

The first seal...
Revelation 6:1-2 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. 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.

Constantine the Great. Feb 272 - May 337. Also known as Constantine I or Saint Constantine, was Roman Emperor from 306 to 337. Well known for being the first Roman emperor to convert to Christianity, Constantine and co-Emperor Licinius issued the Edict of Milan in 313, which proclaimed tolerance of all religions throughout the empire.
Constantine defeated the emperors Maxentius and Licinius during civil wars. He also fought successfully against the Franks, Alamanni,Visigoths, and Sarmatians during his reign — even resettling parts of Dacia which had been abandoned during the previous century. Constantine built a new imperial residence at Byzantium, naming it New Rome. However, in Constantine's honor, people called it Constantinople, which would later be the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire for over one thousand years. Because of this, he is thought of as the founder of the Eastern Roman Empire.
Constantine married the church with the political system. The bow and arrow was an important weapon for the ancient Romans and as you can see from the brief description of his reign he went "forth conquering and to conquer."
The second seal...
Revelation 6:3-4 And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see. 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.
Charlemagne. 742 – 814. Also known as Charles the Great or Charles I, was the founder of the Carolingian Empire, reigning from 768 until his death. He expanded the Frankish kingdom, adding Italy, subduing the Saxons and Bavarians, and pushed his frontier into Spain. The oldest son of Pepin the Short and Bertrada of Laon, Charlemagne was the first Emperor in Western Europe since the fall of the West Roman Empire three centuries earlier.
Even though Charlemagne was instrumental in uniting Europe under his empire he was a man of war, doing so under the guidance and authority of the Roman Catholic Papacy (riding the red horse - red being the color of the Papacy) founded by Constantine. Charlemagne's exploits gave rise to the French and German monarchies; Germany giving birth to the Protestant movement. Rather than relying on the biblical template of allowing the Father God to draw people to himself using the preaching of the Word of God and the peaceful work of the Holy Spirit which convicts people of their need for salvation, Charlemagne forced people to convert to the Roman Catholic religious system of superstition and relic worship effectively shutting down and usurping the work of almighty God.
The Third Seal...
Revelation 6:5-6 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.
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.
The Black Death was one of the most devastating pandemics in human history, peaking in Europe between 1348 and 1350. Although there were several competing theories as to the etiology of the Black Death, recent analysis of DNA from victims in northern and southern Europe indicates that the pathogen responsible was the Yersinia pestis bacterium, which causes the Bubonic plague, although these were different, previously unknown ancestral variants of those identified in the 20th century.
The Black Death is thought to have started in China or central Asia, before spreading west. The plague then traveled along the Silk Road and reached the Crimea by 1346. From there, it was probably carried by Oriental rat fleas living on the black rats that were regular passengers on merchant ships. Spreading throughout the Mediterranean and Europe, the Black Death is estimated to have killed 30–60 percent of Europe's population. All in all, the plague reduced the world population from an estimated 450 million to between 350 and 375 million in the 14th century.
The aftermath of the plague created a series of religious, social and economic upheavals which had profound effects on the course of European history. It took 150 years for Europe's population to recover. The plague reoccurred occasionally in Europe until the 19th century.
In Europe, the Medieval Warm Period ended some time towards the end of the 13th century, bringing the "Little Ice Age" and harsher winters with reduced harvests. In northern Europe, new technological innovations such as the heavy plough and the three-field system were not as effective in clearing new fields for harvest as they had been in the Mediterranean because the north had poor clay soil, and the potato, otherwise ideal for Northern Europe, was an American crop unknown in Europe at the time. Food shortages and rapidly inflating prices were a fact of life for as much as a century before the plague. Wheat, oats, hay and consequently livestock were all in short supply. Their scarcity resulted in malnutrition, which increases susceptibility to infections due to weakened immunity. Consistently high fertility rates, at five or more children per woman throughout Europe, resulted in high population growth rates and contributed to food shortages. In the autumn of 1314, heavy rains began to fall, followed by several years of cold and wet winters. The already weak harvests of the north suffered and the seven-year famine ensued. In the years 1315 to 1317, a catastrophic famine, known as the Great Famine, struck much of northwest Europe. It was arguably the worst in European history, reducing the population by perhaps more than 10 percent.
With the Black Death, the black horse of the Apocalypse is clearly fulfilled. Food shortages and rapidly inflating prices were a fact of life for as much as a century before the plague. The two are directly linked. Weakened immunity resulted from the malnutrition unleashing the black horse of the Apocalypse. With cases of the "black death" being reported to this day in many parts of the world this horse, as the other three, is still riding today.
The Fourth Seal...
Revelation 6:7-8 When He opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, “Come and see.”And I looked, and behold a pale (green) 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.
Green is the official color of Islam (flags, etc). The prophecy states the color to be "pale" but should rather be interpreted green.
The color of Death's horse is written as khlōros (χλωρός) in the original Koine Greek, which can mean either green/greenish-yellow or pale/pallid. The color is often translated as "pale", though "ashen", "pale green", and "yellowish green" are other possible interpretations (the Greek word is the root of "chlorophyll" and "chlorine"). Based on uses of the word in ancient Greek medical literature, several scholars suggest that the color reflects the sickly pallor of a corpse. In some modern artistic depictions, the horse is distinctly green.Islam began in the seventh century with Muhammad and is the second largest religion on earth behind Christianity. The vast, vast majority of death by terrorism is the result of the teachings of Islam. As for the reference to "hunger" consider the fact that the Iranian Islamic regime would rather starve its own people than cooperate with the rest of the world and realize Israel's right to exist and halt their intentions to produce a nuclear bomb with which use to blackmail the world and rid the Middle East of Israel's presence.
The reference to "beasts" could easily refer to the way Islamic extremists treat people - even their own people - like brute beasts.
The Fifth Seal...
Revelation 6:9-11 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: 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? 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.
This appears to be an entirely spiritual event; a reaction to what was going on in the earth. The text speaks for itself. The dead were petitioning God - asking how long the killing would go on until He does something about it. This could also be a reference to the holocaust of abortion which is responsible for the deaths of millions or even billions of children around the world. It is also clearly a direct reference to deaths resulting from testimony about their beliefs. We must never forget the millions who have given their lives to the flames and wild animals rather than denounce the Lord their God.
The Sixth Seal...
Revelation 6:12-17 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; 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. And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. 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; 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: For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
This prophecy was fulfilled with stunning accuracy with the 1556 Shaanxi earthquake. It was a catastrophic earthquake and is also the deadliest earthquake on record, killing approximately 830,000 people. It occurred on the morning of 23 January 1556 in Shaanxi, during the Ming Dynasty. More than 97 counties in the provinces of Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, Gansu, Hebei,Shandong, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangsu and Anhui were affected. An 840-kilometre (520 mi)-wide area was destroyed, and in some counties 60% of the population was killed. Most of the population in the area at the time lived in yaodongs, artificial caves in loess cliffs, many of which collapsed with catastrophic loss of life.
Verse 14 of the prophecy states mountains and islands were literally moved. In the annals of China the earthquake was described in this manner:
The Portuguese Dominican friar Gaspar da Cruz, who visited Guangzhou later in 1556, heard about the earthquake, and later reported about it in the last chapter of his book, A Treatise of China(1569). He viewed the earthquake as a possible punishment for people's sins, and the Great Comet of 1556 as,possibly, the sign of this calamity.In the winter of 1556, an earthquake catastrophe occurred in the Shaanxi and Shanxi Provinces. In our Hua County, various misfortunes took place. Mountains and rivers changed places and roads were destroyed. In some places, the ground suddenly rose up and formed new hills, or it sank abruptly and became new valleys. In other areas, a stream burst out in an instant, or the ground broke and new gullies appeared. Huts, official houses, temples and city walls collapsed all of a sudden.
The prophecy states in verse 16 and 17 that people will in fact view it as punishment (wrath) from God.
The astronomical anomalies connected to the prophecy could very well be explained by the Great Comet of 1556 which happened contemporaneously.
The Great Comet of 1556, known as C/1556 D1 in modern nomenclature, appears to have been seen in some places before the end of February; but it was not generally observed until the middle of the first week in March. Its apparent diameter was equal to half that of the Moon, and the tail resembled " the flame of a torch agitated by the wind,"—an expression doubtless referring to the coruscation which are sometimes visible in the tails of comets. Cornelius Gemma (the son of Gemma Frisius) says, the head of the comet, when it first appeared, was fully as large as Jupiter; its color resembled that of Mars.
Seventh Seal: Prelude to the Seven Trumpets
Revelation 8:1-2, 6 When He opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and to them were given seven trumpets. 6)So the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
The Final Seal opens up and makes way for the 7 Angels that hold the 7 Trumpets of Revelation. This will be explained in our next study, The Trumpets, in remarkable clarity.
Even though there may be room for refinement in the views expressed in this article my hope is that you will see your need to be right with God - to receive the free gift of salvation available only through the finished work on the cross. Jesus opened the doors to the adoption agency allowing all who come the ability to be called sons of God. Do it now... because the "End Time" is not coming... the "End Time" is now.

THE TRUMPETS - TRUMPET 1-5
Our study of the seals left off with the seventh seal opening to make way for the trumpets. The final seal itself was a call to the Trumpet Angels to come forth, prepared to sound. Its almost as though they are ready and simply waiting for their instructions.
Yet centuries would pass between the amazing fulfillment of the 6th seal with astounding accuracy in the 1556 Shaanxi Earthquake, until the first trumpet sounds in the 20th century. What has been happening during all this time? So much time has gone by it almost seems like the 400 years of silence between Malachi in the Old Testament and the arrival of John the Baptist in the New. There, 400 years passed, and nothing official was written down that would be included in scripture. Until, out of the blue, in the middle of the desert, John appeared, preaching, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!" He was the forerunner of the Messiah, the one sent to prepare the way.
Before the 6th Seal earthquake, the last Apocalyptic Horseman we saw riding was the Pale Green Horse of Islam. While he is riding, we see the martyrs increasing in number, and continually crying out to the Lord for justice. "Not yet" was the answer, until the complete number of souls killed in like manner shall be fulfilled.
Islam came on the scene in the 7th century. Isn't it amazing that right now, even today, in the 21st century, 1400 years later, we can still so vividly see the 4th and 5th seals in play with such incredible accuracy? Isn't this still the main struggle today, between Islam and the rest of the world, but especially against Israel and Christians? All eyes are on the middle east, even right now multitudes of nations accumulating troops, and its Islam right in the middle of everything.
And the persecution of the Christians at the hands of Muslims has never been worse then it is today. Entire villages from Nigeria to Syria and scattered throughout the Middle East are being destroyed because of their faith in Jesus Christ or their unwillingness to convert to Islam. Islam is indeed the Horse of Death. And the goal of Islam is clear... World Domination.

| Abraham Sarah and Isaac sending out Hagar and Ishmael |
This is the battle of the ages... and from the beginning of time until the end of the world it all comes back to that epic struggle between two brothers, both sons of The Patriarch Abraham, Isaac and Ishmael. For the Jews and Christians, Abraham is considered to be the Father of the Faith. In Islam, Abraham is recognized as a Prophet and an Apostle, and he embodies the type of the perfect Muslim and a model for mankind that the Quran mentions.
Here is the biblical promise that was given to both Isaac and Ishmael from Genesis 17.
Genesis 17:19-22 Then God said: “No, Sarah your wife shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name Isaac; I will establish My covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his descendants after him. And as for Ishmael, I have heard you. Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly. He shall beget twelve princes, and I will make him a great nation. But My covenant I will establish with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear to you at this set time next year.” Then He finished talking with him, and God went up from Abraham.
It is important to remember that Ishmael with his mother Hagar were sent off as outcasts after Isaac was born. It would be through Isaac that God would establish his chosen people Israel, but the Lord blessed Ishmael and stated he would also be a great nation, with twelve princes.
So now, as the Final Seal was opened, and as the Trumpets prepare to blow coming into the 20th Century, all eyes are on the Middle East, and the ages long battle between good and evil, between Jews and Arabs, between Isaac and Ishmael. At some point, this fighting has got to stop.
Trumpet #1
Rev 8:7 The first angel sounded: And hail and fire followed, mingled with blood, and they were thrown to the earth. And a third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up.
The first trumpet is clearly a world war. Whether this is WWI or WWII is up for debate; both could clearly fit to fulfill this prophecy.
The case for WWI
"World War I marked the first use of chemical weapons, the first mass bombardment of civilians from the sky, and the century's first genocide..." Link.
There was also a scorched earth policy deployed, which would fit as the fulfillment of the second part of this prophecy. Link.
World War I began in 1914 and marked a sharp shift in geo-political policies worldwide. It led to the founding of the League of Nations (1919) which would become the United Nations after WWII. It also was a pre-cursor to the economic struggles that led to the Great Depression of the 1930's, which all factored in to the rise of Adolf Hitler, which led us to...
The case for WWII
World War II lasted from 1939 to 1945. It involved the vast majority of the world's nations, and it was the most widespread war in history, with more than 100 million people serving in military units from over 30 different countries. Marked by mass deaths of civilians, including the Holocaust and the only use of nuclear weapons in warfare, it resulted in an estimated 50 million to 85 million fatalities. These numbers made WWII the deadliest conflict in world history. Source. The extensive bombing raids of WW2 easily fulfill part 1 of the First Trumpet.
Both Stalin and Hitler ordered a scorched earth policy in WWII, leaving much of the European arena of battle burned up, also fulfilling part 2 of the prophecy.
Trumpet #2
Revelation 8:8-9 Then the second angel sounded: And something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became blood. And a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.
In John's vision he saw something like a mountain. He really could have no idea exactly what he was seeing, he described in his own language what he was seeing in the Revelation God was giving him. Simply looking at the pictures of the nuclear explosions of WWII we can see exactly what he saw... a mountain, burning with fire, thrown into the sea. Given the fact that Japan is an island in the middle of the sea, there is no doubt that the Japanese Arena of WWII fits exactly the fulfillment of Trumpet #2. But it doesn't stop there. Let's look at the Math that is given to us as another part of this prophecy for confirmation.
The bomb that dropped on Hiroshima, Japan killed around 110,000 people out of a population of around 330,000 people. One-third! And the bomb that dropped on Nagasaki, Japan killed around 80,000 people out of a population of 250,000. One-third! Amazing accuracy, even in the math. Absolute and perfect fulfillment of Trumpet #2. Source
World War II led to the founding of the United Nations, which would in turn become the pre-cursor to the One World Government - New World Order (more on that when we talk about Trumpet 6). Remarkably, at this same time in history, in 1947, the order to restore Jerusalem and to allow Israel to be re-born came forth, and in 1948 The Jews were allowed to return to their homeland.
Clearly, Trumpets 1 & 2 have brought us to the fulfillment of Christ's words and the beginning of the Final Generation of this age...
The Parable of the Fig Tree
“Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near—at the doors! Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away." This directly relates to the re-birth of Israel, the Fig Tree. Matthew 24:32-35.
Trumpet #3
Revelation 8:10-11 Then the third angel sounded: And a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water. The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters became wormwood, and many men died from the water, because it was made bitter.

| Radiation fallout from Chernobyl |
This is a well documented event that many, many people have tied specifically to the disaster in Chernobyl, Ukraine in 1986. The entire 900 ton top blew completely off the Nuclear Reactor, shooting it high into the sky in a ball of flames, and it came crashing down to the earth like the only thing John could have imagined in his vision: A Falling Star. Wormwood in the Ukranian language means Chernobyl, and all elements of this prophecy were fulfilled in this disaster, which included many lives being lost and the waters being contaminated, causing even more loss of life in the decades to come.

| Chernobyl Today |
"The radiation that escaped in Chernobyl was four hundred times the amount that was released by the atomic bomb that was dropped over Hiroshima at the end of World War II. About 100,000 people had to leave their homes immediately after the explosion. Before the disaster 50,000 people lived in modern apartment buildings. Today it is completely deserted with cars still parked on the streets. Radiation levels are still so high that nobody will be able to live here for the next one to two hundred years. 25 years after the disaster the cleanup of Chernobyl is still going on." Source
Trumpet #4
Revelation 8:12 Then the fourth angel sounded: And a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them were darkened. A third of the day did not shine, and likewise the night.
Locking down Trumpet # 4 is a pretty difficult task. In and of itself there are not enough details to match with any one event. This type of prophecy could be tied to an extended sandstorm, months of continuous wildfires, or even excessive smog in a certain region of the world. One other way that this prophecy could be fulfilled would be through some type of pole shift, actually causing the days to be shortened based on the rotation speed of the earth.
Trumpet 3 was fulfilled in April,1986, and as we shall see the 5 months of Trumpet 5 were fulfilled starting in August of 1990. This leave us only about 4 years on our timeline to fulfill in chronological order Trumpet #4. There was one major event that happened on a worldwide scale during this time. I would like to consider The Fall of The Berlin Wall in 1989 as the event, or the timeframe, of the shortening of our days.
Before we look at all that has happened in our world since 1989, let's consider the fact that 30 years passed between the first two trumpets (if we use WWI as our guide) & 40 years passed between trumpets 2 & 3. Israel had become a nation now and the struggles there have been constant, yet over those 40 years there was only one major conflict in that region, the Six Day War in 1967. There were other international conflicts but nothing on the scale of a Biblical Trumpet Warning.
In November of [1989], the Berlin Wall–the most visible symbol of the decades-long Cold War–was finally destroyed, just over two years after Reagan had challenged the Soviet premier in a speech at Brandenburg Gate in Berlin: "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall." By 1991, the Soviet Union itself had fallen apart. The Cold War was over. Source
What has happened in our world since 1989? Have the days been shortened? Are things happening faster now than ever before in the history of the world? Ponder that thought for a minute. If you are my age or older (45), then you may remember a world growing up where there were long summer days, time pretty much to do anything and everything you wanted, and enjoyment of family and friends, and life in general. What is life like today? Has the world changed? Do the young people today have time to do what they want to do, or are even the children seemingly overrun with time constraints or commitments that make them feel tired without really even enjoying life? How has the advancement of technology actually caused us to have less time in our daily lives?
The first two trumpets of Revelation span 40 / 70 years depending on your viewpoint, and now between 1986 and 1990 there are 3 trumpet blasts to warn the world of pending danger. Remember that the sound of a Trumpet is a warning of danger, of being attacked, an order to take cover. What could possibly be happening in our world that would be considered dangerous?
One of the important focuses (in my opinion) of our trumpet blasts is the region in which things are taking place. If we can look at the Berlin wall as the 4th trumpet, then we see that all 4 of the trumpets have been in the European Arena of the world (the Japan arena of WWII was linked to the European Arena.) Even after 40 years our 1986 and 1989 trumpets once again focus our attention on this area of the world. Was it the end of the cold war that would produce a geo-political shift in powers and bring in a new phase of world leadership? Is God trying to tell the world to watch now the Middle East and Israel, seeing that Trumpet 5 is Saddam Hussein in Kuwait, Trumpet 6 is WW3 exactly starting from the Euphrates river, and Trumpet 7 bringing in "The kingdoms of this world becoming kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ." That focus would be none other than Israel and the Middle East front and center.
Trumpet # 5
Then the fifth angel sounded: And I saw a star fallen from heaven to the earth. To him was given the key to the bottomless pit. 2 And he opened the bottomless pit, and smoke arose out of the pit like the smoke of a great furnace. So the sun and the air were darkened because of the smoke of the pit. 3 Then out of the smoke locusts came upon the earth. And to them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. 4 They were commanded not to harm the grass of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree, but only those men who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads. 5 And they were not given authority to kill them, but to torment them for five months. Their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it strikes a man. 6 In those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will desire to die, and death will flee from them. 7 The shape of the locusts was like horses prepared for battle. On their heads were crowns of something like gold, and their faces were like the faces of men. 8 They had hair like women’s hair, and their teeth were like lions’ teeth. 9 And they had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots with many horses running into battle. 10 They had tails like scorpions, and there were stings in their tails. Their power was to hurt men five months. 11 And they had as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, but in Greek he has the name Apollyon.
So many people have documented this, I will not go into any extra detail here. I will just give a brief outline of the main points and let the video speak for itself. When Saddam Hussein lit the 600 wells of Kuwait on fire it was like the smoke of a great furnace, and the sun and the air were darkened. The helicopters rising from the smoke look just like the locusts John saw in his vision. The invasion of Kuwait lasted exactly 5 months. The faces of the helicopters look just like men, and the propellers like crowns. The sound of the apache helicopters, which John heard in his vision, were just like the sounds of chariots, ready for war. The Iraqies had specially equipped these to fire from the rear, amazingly showing that even these scorpions bite with their tails. And as if there wasn't enough detail already for us to know this was exactly and perfectly the fulfillment of Trumpet 5, John gave us the name of the leader of this war: Saddam. Abaddon and Apollyon both mean Destroyer, as does the name Saddam. Saddam the Destroyer, leading a 5 month war! Well how about that!
Watch this AMAZING video that will bring to life like never before the reality that... THE TRUMPET DAYS ARE NOW!
Many people today still have not been able to see that we are clearly in the trumpet days of Revelation. Others believe we are on a watch for Trumpet 6. In my next article I will talk specifically of Trumpet 6, the final World War that will begin at the gates of the Euphrates river, and how I have come to see that the exact beginning of that war is shown clearly in Scripture!! And that exact event displayed in Scripture has already happened!! Has Trumpet 6 already blown? Could we be only days, even moments away from the 7th and Final Trumpet, which will usher in the Rapture of the Church and the Final 3.5 years (less now) of the Great Tribulation? Don't miss it!

TRUMPET 6 - HAS IT ALREADY BLOWN? THIS WILL AMAZE YOU!
Trumpet 5 left off in Kuwait, at the end of the 5 month invasion of Saddam Hussein. That story-line was fulfilled with such precision in the 5th Trumpet Prophecy, even though it was written 2000 years earlier... do you think that what comes next will be any less accurate?
Trumpet # 6
Revelation 9:13-19 Then the sixth angel sounded: And I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God, 14 saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.” 15 So the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, were released to kill a third of mankind.16 Now the number of the army of the horsemen was two hundred million; I heard the number of them. 17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision: those who sat on them had breastplates of fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow; and the heads of the horses were like the heads of lions; and out of their mouths came fire, smoke, and brimstone. 18 By these three plagues a third of mankind was killed—by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone which came out of their mouths. 19 For their power is in their mouth and in their tails; for their tails are like serpents, having heads; and with them they do harm.
Before looking at the connection to Trumpet 5 here, let's consider the details of Trumpet 6. What are we looking at?
The scene is WW3 at the Great River Euphrates, IRAQ. The angels will be released that are somehow holding back the floodgates. There will be a great army of 200 million men, and 1/3 of those will die, or 66.6 million. The horses John saw in his vision had the heads of lions. Trumpet 5 showed locusts which became helicopters... these horses, with riders, are Tanks. They shoot fire, smoke and sulfur from their mouths, and they also sting from the rear. (Congress insists on tanks!)
As Americans (even though I've lived in Mexico for the last 20 years) we have a unique vantage point as to what happened in Kuwait, and all that came later. It was, after all, our President, George Bush Sr who led the allies into Kuwait in 1991 to force Saddam to pull out. Then there seemed to be a break in the action. There were no more trumpets, yet Trumpet 6 shows us right back at the banks of the Euphrates River, right in the heart of IRAQ. Is this a continuation of Trumpet 5?
Let's consider this from the worldview of the American. We usually see the things that effect us personally, so what happened in our view? Was there another event that linked the USA back to Iraq, something that happened that would cause us to go back in and finish the job? Father Bush left the job undone. Many called him a coward for stopping short of getting Saddam out of power. What had to happen for the USA to go back in and finish the job? Wasn't it the attacks on the WTC on 9/11/2001 that was the firepower George Jr needed to go back in and take Saddam out?
Now, what I am about to share is new material... I have never heard this shared like this anywhere else. That is neither good nor bad, just the facts. That does not make it true or a lie in and of itself. You will need to consider carefully the connections I am going to make, and each person will need to decide if this means enough to make any specific changes necessary to your world view or to your view of where we are on the end of days timeline.
Trumpet 5 left us off in Kuwait, and Trumpet 6 is WW3 starting in Iraq. What if I told you that the exact beginning of that war was the September 11, 2001 attacks, and that I could prove it to you from the Bible? This was the connection, the link, that took us from Kuwait to Iraq, in 2 phases, just as it is shown. We know in real life that only 10 years after the Kuwait invasion in 1991 the attacks in New York took place in 2001. Trumpet 5 is phase one, and trumpet 6 is phase two, perfectly separated just like it was in real life. Where in the world would I find that in the Bible? What if I told you it was exactly and perfectly RIGHT AFTER explaining the 6th Trumpet? Yes, right there in chapter 10 of Revelation? Let's take a look. It's the story of the angel and the little book.
The Mighty Angel with the Little Book - Revelation 10:1-7
I saw still another mighty angel coming down from heaven, clothed with a cloud. And a rainbow was on his head, his face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire. 2 He had a little book open in his hand. And he set his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land, 3 and cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roars. When he cried out, seven thunders uttered their voices. 4 Now when the seven thunders uttered their voices, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, “Seal up the things which the seven thunders uttered, and do not write them.” 5 The angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land raised up his hand to heaven 6 and swore by Him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and the things that are in it, the earth and the things that are in it, and the sea and the things that are in it, that there should be delay no longer, 7 but in the days of the sounding of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, the mystery of God would be finished, as He declared to His servants the prophets.
First let's talk about the Angel, and then we'll talk about the Book. In John's vision he is describing what he sees. He saw a mighty angel, with a face like the sun. He had a rainbow on his head, and his feet were like pillars of fire. The Statue of Liberty is outside and on any given day with a rainbow this would be the case, and at night they light the base of the statue with lighting that resembles pillars of fire. He has a little book, which is the Constitution of the United States of America. His right foot is on the sea, and left foot on the land, which is the exact positioning of the statue, with the left foot towards New York City, and the right foot toward the open sea. Then there was a loud cry, with a voice like a lion. Then there were seven thunders. Could this be referencing the September 11, 2001 attacks on New York, with the seven thunders referring to the Seven WTC buildings that all were destroyed or badly damaged as a result? source Then we see the angel's hand raised to heaven... the angel who is on the sea and on the land, a perfect description of the small island the statue is on. Then we see this linked to Trumpet number 7, saying there will be no more delay, and the mystery of God will soon be finished "in the days of the sounding of the seventh angel."
Watch this Amazing Video to see how clearly this seems to play out... then we will continue looking at our text.
Whenever we try to interpret the Bible we want to always be very careful to make sure we stay in context. First we have 4 trumpets, that somehow are separated from the last 3, because after the 4th it says Woe Woe Woe because of the final three trumpets that will sound. (Rev 8:13). Then we see trumpet 5 in Kuwait, Trumpet 6 in Iraq, and then this little story of an angel and a book and it takes us where? Exactly to Trumpet 7! We cannot overlook these details, this is all in sequence, and it seems as though there are serious clues here to show us what is happening.
John Eats the Little Book - Revelation 10:8-11
8 Then the voice which I heard from heaven spoke to me again and said, “Go, take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel who stands on the sea and on the earth.” 9 So I went to the angel and said to him, “Give me the little book.” And he said to me, “Take and eat it; and it will make your stomach bitter, but it will be as sweet as honey in your mouth.” 10 Then I took the little book out of the angel’s hand and ate it, and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth. But when I had eaten it, my stomach became bitter. 11 And he said to me, “You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, tongues, and kings.”
What does the little book represent? The US Constitution. It once stood for liberty, justice, and the protection of the innocent. When John ate the book it was sweet, like honey. But then it became bitter. The US constitution has been trampled, and it no longer represents what it once did. Let's consider what has happened to America since 9/11.
In the days of Reagan, Bush Sr, and Clinton, America was still at the height of its power and glory. We were still revered as a nation before the world, still a major influence and followed by the nations everywhere. From America, to the World seemed to be the motto of those times.
Right after the attacks on New York, Bush Jr. was seen as a strong leader, willing and able to find and bring justice to our enemies. Rudy Giuliani was a superb uniter as the NYC Mayor, and this was a time for patriotism like never before. But that didn't last. The Bush Administration made sure all
roads after 9/11 led to Iraq, and many saw this as the opportunity to clean up what his father failed to accomplish. Then the fiasco with the WMD's that were never found, the main reason for the invasion of Iraq to begin with. From there the anti-American sentiment in the world seemed to grow rapidly. Bush squeaked out the election in 2004, but by 2008 America was sick and tired of Bush and the Republicans, and they would have done anything to get him out of there, even if it meant electing an ineligible foreigner to office. So that's what they did. 
But I want to discuss the real issue with 9/11. September 11, 2001 was a warning to America, and to the world, that a nation without God is in deep danger. Through the Clinton sexual scandals Americans just seemed to accept deviancy as normal, and society seemed to be on the fast-track to hell. Homosexual lifestyle and marriages were becoming the norm, and all manner of perversion, violence, and ungodliness was sweeping our nation, and the world. 9/11 was a wake up call... a Trumpet call of God. But what did America do? Repentance was short lived, and life would be back to normal in no time. "Let's move on... let's just rebuild... we will be fine." If you have not read Jonathan Cahn's book The Harbinger, you need to. It displays in awesome detail how America defied the warnings of God from Isaiah 9:10 and simply said, "God, we no longer need you. We can do it on our own." God got pushed out, and the Antichrist spirit took over. And it can all be clearly linked with precision to 9/11.
Isaiah 9:9-10 (In pride and arrogance of heart, Israel has said:) “The bricks have fallen down, but we will rebuild with hewn stones; The sycamores are cut down, But we will replace them with cedars."
This prophecy played out amazingly to precision, each and every detail, and it started with the declarations of the politicians on 9/12 when they quoted Isaiah 9:10 thinking it was wise to say... We will Rebuild. What they did not see is that Isaiah was talking of Israel's pride, that the judgments had come to bring repentance, but instead the reaction was defiance. I wish I had the time and space right here to go through this... but watch this short video before we finalize our study of Trumpet 6.
After 9/11 America was given seven years to repent. Seven years, where declaration after declaration, act after act showed no repentance, only defiance. America's final judgment has come. 2001 + 7 = 2008. Enter: Barack Obama. Let's look at exactly what happened and how we can see that this president is God's judgment on America, the Assyrian, the Arab terrorist, sent by God Himself to judge an unrepentant nation.
1. It was in July, 2008 that Obama used the Pergamos Zeus Altar of Satan as his stage at the DNC in Denver CO.
2. It was here and in Chicago at his acceptance speech that the famous chant came forth... Yes We Can, which in reverse is... Thank You Satan.
3. Nov 5, 2008, the day after the election, the Chicago lottery numbers came up 666-7779, which in the biblical sense, means, 666 Antichrist, God's complete judgment 777.
4. Here is an intriguing video which shows the actual name Barack Obama in the Bible text. This is shown exactly in Luke 10:18, where Jesus said he saw Satan fall from heaven like lightning. Literally translated this means... I saw Satan as Barack O-bama. Barack means lightning, and heavens means bama. This Video explains this perfectly...

| 5. The One World Freedom Tower, which was built to replace the Twin Towers, had a beam that was signed and dedicated by Obama, with the inscription... We Remember. We Rebuild. We Come Back Stronger. A direct reference to the Isaiah 9:10 judgment. WWW means... 666. |
Did Trumpet 6 Blow on September 11, 2001? Does the Mighty Angel with the Little Book refer to New York, the attacks on 9/11, that led us directly back to the banks of the Euphrates River in Iraq, where the 6th Trumpet WW3 will be fought? The stage is set, and all nations are in place. Anyone who watches the news with care can see that any day this whole thing is going to erupt.
Here are my questions for you to consider: If Trumpet 6 has already blown, that means the 7th Trumpet of Rapture and Judgment is imminent, like never before. Now it could really happen any day. What if you decide you don't want to believe that 9/11 was the blowing of the 6th Trumpet. Does that mean you have more time?
Many people seem to think that many more things need to happen before the Return of Christ... that we are months, maybe even years away from the Great Tribulation. Some are waiting for a Temple to be built, or for millions of people to die in this coming World War, or for a myriad of other things to happen before Christ can return.
What would Jesus say? Would He say you have more time, no need to worry yet? Or would He say... "Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect?"
I received a Sign from the Lord, a SIGN OF HIS COMING, and here the Lord confirmed to me...
EVERYTHING IS ACCOMPLISHED, NOTHING MORE NEEDS TO HAPPEN BEFORE THAT LAST FINAL TRUMPET, RAPTURE AND JUDGMENT. OF THAT DAY AND HOUR NO MAN KNOWS.
Consider carefully what you choose to believe, and the way you choose to live. It will mean the difference between Rapture or the Great Tribulation. God bless you.
I have one more part to do in this series... here I will cover the 7th Trumpet Rapture, The Two Witnesses, The 7 YR Covenant with Many, The Abomination of Desolation and how EVERYTHING is confirmed by the Timelines of Daniel! Don't miss it!
CONCLUSION
Now that we have made it through our study all the way from the Seals to Trumpet 6, recognizing, that depending on one's own interpretation, that may or may not have already sounded, many are left with questions to be answered. Those who disagree with these findings may ask, "How is it that such important discoveries are only understood by so few?" or "When all these things truly happen the whole world will know, right?"
Many studies have been done (example) on all the Prophecies that Jesus Christ fulfilled in His first Coming. There are more than 400 that He fulfilled, and they were there for the world to see. But did they SEE them? Did they understand? Was it painstakingly obvious? How many people at Christ's first coming saw the Signs? Few, right? Do you agree, few? Why did they not see the Signs? Simple... they weren't looking for them. Only those who are looking, earnestly, watchfully, prayerfully, for the coming of the Messiah, will see Him. All others will remain in darkness.
 |
| Did you know that the date for the First Coming of Christ was actually given by Daniel, based on the number of years from the Order to Rebuild Jerusalem? Yet the Jews still could not see, because they weren't looking for Him. This same calendar is also used for The Second Coming, as we shall see a little later on. |
So it is today. So few can see the signs of Christ's return. So few are truly watching, longing, hoping and praying for the coming of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. All others remain in darkness. This is important to understand... THE WHOLE WORLD IS IN DARKNESS! Satan has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, and of the fake believers, so they cannot see. The world is under the spell of the Antichrist! So how do we become free, and remain free? By standing on the TRUTH of God's word.
About Spiritual Gifts... The Great Commission was given in two phases, with two orders. Jesus told the disciples to Go into all the world and Preach, which everyone knows for sure, but what else did He say? What was the other half of the Great Commission? Did He not also say, first, "Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high?" The disciples were to wait, until Pentecost, until they were anointed with Power... then they were to "Go." And how could they not Go after that... it came so naturally. After the Holy Spirit fell on the disciples at Pentecost they easily went, it was in their blood. It came naturally to preach and share and work for the kingdom. They were filled with the Holy Spirit, transformed by the power of God.
How many churches preach today that unless you are filled with the power of the Holy Spirit you will not be an effective witness for Christ? How many preach it is necessary to be filled with the Holy Spirit, with the Baptism of Fire like the disciples received on Pentecost? Did you forget this was in the Bible, that Jesus said "And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues?" (MK 16:17).
The Church has sacrificed Spiritual Gifts for "Love," when Paul clearly told us to maintain both. "Pursue love, AND desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy." I Cor 14:1.
The Church has sacrificed Obedience for Belief, when Jesus clearly told us saying Lord, Lord won't get you into heaven, but DOING the will of the Father (MT 7:21).
The Church has sacrificed Righteous Judgment for Tolerance, even though we are clearly taught in scripture "not to keep company with sexually immoral people who call themselves believers" (I Cor 5:9-13).
And the list goes on and on. So there you go... these are the reasons so few see the truth today. They throw out 1/2 or more of the Bible, sometimes 95%. One verse is all many need today... to confess with your mouth and believe in your heart. I've done that, that's all I need... Case closed. Oh, really?
At the end of my last study I said that all my findings would be confirmed through the Timelines of Daniel. Since that is a VERY BOLD statement, let's start there.
TIMELINES OF DANIEL - THE SEVENTY WEEKS
Daniel 9:24-27 24 “Seventy weeks are determined for your people and for your holy city, To finish the transgression, to make an end of sins, To make reconciliation for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy, And to anoint the Most Holy. 25 “Know therefore and understand, That from the going forth of the command To restore and build Jerusalem Until Messiah the Prince, There shall be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; The street shall be built again, and the wall, Even in troublesome times. 26 “And after the sixty-two weeks Messiah shall be cut off, but not for Himself; And the people of the prince who is to come Shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end of it shall be with a flood, And till the end of the war desolations are determined. 27 Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week; But in the middle of the week He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate, Even until the consummation, which is determined, Is poured out on the desolate."Daniel's end of days timeline has seventy weeks, or years. "Seventy weeks are determined..." to bring all things to an end. Weeks in this passage means Years. 70 Years, each Week being 1 Year.
When do the Seventy Weeks begin? V25 shows clearly that the 70 Years begins from the going forth of the command To restore and build Jerusalem. This was the Re-birth of Israel. This was when they became again a nation, when they REBUILT Jerusalem. But notice carefully... it says from the COMMAND. So here we have the Order to rebuild, and then we have the rebuilding. The clock starts with the order, or command, not with the actual rebuilding. So when did the Order come to Rebuild Jerusalem? The Order to Rebuild Jerusalem and to Re-establish Israel as a nation came on November 29, 1947. source
Daniel's Timeline begins with the ORDER/COMMAND to restore Jerusalem. November 29, 1947. Then, how are the 70 years divided? V25 says there will be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks.
What we see though is that first come the 62 years, then the 7 years. V26 says, And after the sixty-two weeks... Then V27 he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week;
This equals 69. What about the final week/year? This is the Year of Jubilee, or the Year of Deliverance, going back exactly 50 years to 1967 and the last year of Jubileee when the Lord delivered Israel during the Six Day War. 2016 - 2017. This is the Year of the 2nd Coming of Christ, deliverance of His People, and the Restoration of all things. Then 2017 is the Beginning of the Millennium.
Now we have the Basis for our End of Days Timeline, directly from the Book of Daniel.
Daniel's 70 WEEKS, Starting in 1947
1947 ---- +62 ---- 2009 ---- +7 ---- 2016 ---- +1 ---- 2017
Order ------------Covenant -----2nd Coming --------1000 yrs
1947 was the year of the Order to Rebuild Jerusalem. After 62 years, it says there will be covenant with many for one week. A 7 YR peace deal, or Covenant, with many. (notice carefully all details, this does not mention Israel. Its a Covenant with Many.) So in 2009 there will be some type of Covenant, Pact, or Peace Deal. How can we know what exactly that is, or what the deal was, or who made it with whom? That will be defined when the Abomination of Desolation takes place, midweek. This will confirm who, what and when the Covenant with Many was made. Peace deals, pacts, and covenants are happening all the time, and no one can know which one is the deal that we are waiting for. A "Covenant with Many" is way too vague to know exactly what that will be. That is why Daniel leads us by the exact number of days....
Daniel 9:27 Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week; But in the middle of the week He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate.
2009 there will be a Covenant with many. Then 3 1/2 yrs later the Abomination of Desolation will take place... and 3 1/2 years after that will lead us to the Return of Christ.
Daniel's 7 WEEKS, starting in 2009
2009 ---- 3 1/2 yrs ---- Abomination ------ 3 1/2 yrs-------- 2016
Study that document for full and complete understanding of those details. Here we were led by the exact number of days before the Abomination to the Barack Obama Nobel Peace Prize, and after the Abomination to the Day of Trumpets, 2016.
OCT 9 2009 ----+1260 days----MARCH 22, 2013 ----+1290 days ---- OCT 3, 2016
Obama Nobel Abomination Day of Trumpets
Peace Prize of Desolation 2nd Coming
The Abomination Documentation shows confirmation of the Abomination Details, the Timelines of Daniel, and also the Characteristics of the Antichrist fulfilled in Barack Obama as prophesied in the bible. It is very important to study that document, and also the document, Re-Thinking the Abomination, which covers the errored doctrine of those who believe that the Abomination must happen in the Temple. The Bible NEVER mentions temple here, and that is perfectly documented, and CLEAR FROM THE WORD. Those who refuse to accept this are stuck on their doctrine's of men and BLIND. Read the WORD, and accept the WORD, ONLY. Re-Think the Abomination... it's all very clear.
REVELATION TIMELINE CONFIRMATION
Then, according to the above timeline, with today being July 8, 2013, there are only approximately 3.25 years until the 2nd Coming of Christ, on or around October 3, 2016. A lot must happen between now and then.
THE TWO WITNESSES
The Two Witnesses also must prophesy for 1260 days (Rev 11:3). Notice that according to Daniel's timeline above this is perfectly confirmed to be the first half of the 7 year period, 1260 days. And it ends with them being as dead for three Days... and then Rapture! See this AMAZING documentation confirming... THE TWO WITNESSES ARE HERE NOW!
THE RAPTURE
The Rapture must take place, which will happen at the Seventh Trumpet, perfectly documented here... THE TRUTH ABOUT THE RAPTURE
THE MARK OF THE BEAST According to all this documentation we are already past the 1/2 way mark of the Final Seven Years of Daniel's Timeline. And the Reign of Antichrist is confirmed at 3 1/2 years maximum (Dan 7:25). Based on everything else that is happening in our world and on all this scriptural confirmation we can know that immediately following the Rapture the Mark of the Beast will be implemented, if not before. This is 100% confirmation also of these findings. Those who believe Rapture will happen before the final 7 years start and before the opening of the first seal are strongly delusional. This in no way whatsoever lines up with reality, nor with scripture. (Rev 13)
The Timelines according to Revelation show that everything we have seen so far is all Chronological. The Seals and Trumpets all are in order, then after the explanation of the 6th Trumpet we have the Explanation of how the Final World War will begin... September 11, 2001, the Angel and the Little Book. That leads us to the mystery of the 7th Trumpet, and before that Final Trumpet sounds, we have the explanation of the Two Witnesses, their apparent death or downfall, and then Rapture! Immediately following this is the 7th Trumpet!!!! Rev 11:15-19.
THE SATANIC INCARNATION OF THE ANTICHRIST
Immediately following the Chapter 11 Seventh Trumpet Rapture we see the Beginning of the Great Tribulation. No one knows exactly how long this will last, because the day and hour of the 7th Trumpet Rapture is the day and hour no man knows. Every day that passes is another day of God's mercy for people to repent and prepare for Rapture. But once that happens, the world is immediately thrust into Great Tribulation. Chapter 12 shows the battle between the woman, the child, and the Dragon, and Revelation 12:12 confirms that Rapture and Judgment come simultaneously...
Revelation 12:12
Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time.”
Revelation 12:12 is the exact description of simultaneous Rapture & Judgment. Rejoicing for those in heaven, and Woe for those who remain on earth. Rejoicing and Woe all at once. It is written.
Satan Thrown Out of Heaven - Rev 12:7-9
And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer. So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
Once Satan is cast out of heaven, the Antichrist will be Incarnated by Satan and there will be no Mercy. Everything will happen exactly as prophesied in the Bible. Once the Mark of the Beast is fully implemented in chapter 13, then toward the end of this period the Bowls of God's wrath will be poured out, shown in chapter 16. This takes us up until the final battle of Armageddon, the Return of Christ, and then on into the Millennium.
What more can I say? Everything is written as a a warning and message for humanity. God's word is true, and everything, absolutely everything is being fulfilled perfectly. What has not been fulfilled will be fulfilled, there should be no doubt about that. The End has Come. Revelation 21:5-8 Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And He said to me, “Write, for these words are true and faithful.” And He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. He who overcomes shall inherit all things,and I will be his God and he shall be My son. But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death."
Here is a specially prepared document for those who who want to escape the Tribulation Period... LETTER TO THE SAINTS - BEFORE AND AFTER RAPTURE.
May God bless you richly with the Wisdom, Strength and Mercy you shall need to make it through these perilous times in which we live.
Your Brother and Fellow Bond Servant in Christ, Steve Fletcher
