Last Message – Worthy is the Lamb
Rev. 6
The
Opening
of Six
Seals
The Whole Tribulation is contained in a seven
sealed scroll
Most of the events are contained in the
Seventh Seal
The message of the Seventh seal contains
seven “Trumpet Judgments”.
The “Seven Trumpets” will sound over the
entire last 3 ½ years of the tribulation.
During the Seventh Seal, the seven trumpets
sound, the Seventh trumpet initiates the
seven bowls of Judgment
Seal One – Chapter Six – 1st Horseman
Seal Two – Chapter Six – 2nd Horseman
Seal Three – Chapter Six – 3rd Horseman
Seal Four – Chapter Six – 4th Horseman
Seal Five – Chapter Six – The Martyred
Seal Six – Chapter Six – God’s Final Wrath
Seal Seven – Chapter 8-22
Seven Trumpets
3½
Seven Bowls
Pre-Wrath – Tribulation Teaching
The wrath of God is loosed only during the
seven last bowls.
The Rapture will come some time during the
tribulation before the wrath of God
Two primary Books – Very Recent
The Pre- Wrath Rapture – Marv Rosenthal
The Sign – Van Kampen
The wrath of God isn’t just the bowl
judgments, it’s the whole seven seals.
For the great day of his wrath is come;
and who shall be able to stand? Rev. 6:17
(This is during the seal judgments)
And the nations were angry, and thy wrath
is come, and the time of the dead, that they
should be judged, and that thou should give
reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to
the saints, and them that fear thy name, small
and great; and should destroy them which
destroy the earth. Rev. 11:18 (This is still
during the trumpet judgments)
But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel,
when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God
should be finished, as he has declared to his
servants the prophets.
Rev. 10:7
And I saw another sign in heaven, great and
marvelous, seven angels having the seven last
plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God.
(Gr. – teleo – to complete )
Rev. 15:1
And the seventh angel poured out his vial into
the air; and there came a great voice out of the
temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is
done .
Rev. 16:17
But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel,
when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God
should be finished…
Rev. 10:7
What is that mystery?
The wicked being allowed to prosper over the
Righteous with murder and persecution.
Pre-wrath tribulation is true!
The wrath of God begins with the opening of
the first seal.
Since you have kept my command to
endure patiently, I will also keep you from the
hour of trial that is going to come upon the
whole world to test those who live on the
earth. Rev. 3:10
What is the purpose of the wrath of God?
To Avenge the blood of the saints.
And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How
long, O YAHWEH , holy and true, do You not
judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on
the earth? Rev. 6:10
For they have shed the blood of saints and
prophets, and You have given them blood to
drink; for they are worthy. Rev. 16:6
And I saw the woman drunken with the blood
of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of
Jesus: Rev. 17:6
Rejoice over her (Babylon) heaven, and you
holy apostles and prophets; for God has avenged
you on her.
Rev. 18:20
And in her was found the blood of prophets,
and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the
earth.
Rev. 18:24
For true and righteous [are] his judgments:
for he has judged the great whore, which did
corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath
avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.
Rev. 19:2
The
First Seal
Rev. 6:1 - I watched as the Lamb opened the
first of the seven seals.
Then I heard one of the four living creatures
say in a voice like thunder,
Come
and see
I looked, and there before
me was a white horse! Its
rider held a bow, and he
was given a crown, and he
rode out as a conqueror
bent on conquest V.2
There is a tremendous parallel between the
First six seals and Matthew 24
The Deception Period
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? Mt. 24:3
And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed
that no man deceive you. 5 For many shall come in my
name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. Mt.
24:4,5
Many Christians are concerned if we don’t
know who the anti-Christ is, we might be
deceived and take the mark.
For false Christ’s and false prophets will appear and
perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect-if that were possible .
Mt. 24:24
Let no man deceive you by any means: for [that day
shall not come], except there come a falling away first, and
that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
II Thess. 2:3
For the secret power of lawlessness is already at
work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to
do so till he is taken out of the way. 8 And then the
lawless one will be revealed,
II Thess. 2:7,8
I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a
bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent
on conquest Rev. 6:2
There is a person on a horse – “He rode out”
This person is representative – Of a conqueror
The Rider does not represent Jesus
1. Jesus is opening the seals sending the rider forth
2. All the seals bring judgment and tragedy
3. The rider has different crown
The Rider is a Conqueror
Bow- No arrows – Crown - Stephanos
He will cause deceit to prosper, and he
will consider himself superior. When they feel
secure, he will destroy many and take his stand
against the Prince of princes. Yet he will be
destroyed, but not by human power. Dan. 8:25
“a crown was given” - source of authority
Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain
and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their
splendor. 9 "All this I will give you," he said, "if you will
bow down and worship me.
Mt. 4:8
Men worshiped the dragon because he had
given authority to the beast Rev. 13:4
For when they shall say, Peace and safety;
then sudden destruction cometh upon them
II Thess. 5:3
The coming of the lawless one will be in
accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all
kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders,
II Thess. 2:9
I believe the rider is representative of the
Anti-Christ
The
Second Seal
Seal one – Deception – Mt. 24:4,5
Seal Two – Devastation (War)
And you shall hear of wars and rumors
of wars: see that you be not troubled: for all
[these things] must come to pass, but the end
is not yet. 7 For nation shall rise against
nation, and kingdom against kingdom:
Mt. 24:6,7
Rev. 6:3 - When the Lamb
opened the second seal
I heard the second living creature
say,
Come
and see
Rev. 6:4 - Then
another horse came
out, a red one.
Its
rider
was
given
power
to take
peace
from
the
earth
World
War
and to make men slay
each other. To him was
given a large sword.
The
Third Seal
Seal one – Deception – Mt. 24:4,5
Seal two – Devastation (War) - Mt. 24:6,7
Seal Three – Depravation (Famine)
“and there shall be famines” Mt. 24:7b
Rev. 6:5 - When the Lamb opened
the third seal, I heard the third living
creature say, "
Come
and see
I looked, and there before
me was a black horse! Its
rider was holding a pair of
scales in his hand.
Rev. 6:6
Then I
heard what
sounded
like a voice
among the
four living
creatures,
saying,
"A quart of
wheat for a
day's wages,,
and three quarts
of barley for a
day's wages
and do not
damage the oil
and the wine!"
I will send the pestilence among you; and ye
shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy. 26
[And] when I have broken the staff of your bread,
ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and
they shall deliver [you] your bread again by weight:
and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied. Lev. 26:26
Moreover he said unto me, Son of man,
behold, I will break the staff of bread in Jerusalem:
and they shall eat bread by weight, and with care;
and they shall drink water by measure, and with
astonishment: Ez. 4:16
The
Fourth Seal
Seal one – Deception – Mt. 24:4,5
Seal two – Devastation (War) - Mt. 24:6,7
Seal Three – Depravation (Famine) Mt. 24:7b
Seal Four – Death (disease) Mt. 24:7
For nation shall rise against nation, and
kingdom against kingdom. And there shall
be famines, and pestilences, and
earthquakes, an various places. Mt. 24:7
All these [are] the beginning of sorrows.
Mt. 24:8
Rev. 6:7 When the Lamb opened the fourth
seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living
creature say,
Come
and see
Rev. 6:8 - And I looked,
and behold a pale horse:
and his name that sat on
him was Death,
and Hell
followed
with him.
And power was given unto them
over the fourth of the earth
to kill with sword,
and with hunger,
and with death, (plague)
and with the beasts of
the earth.
The
Fifth Seal
Seal one – Deception – Mt. 24:4,5
Seal two – Devastation (War) - Mt. 24:6,7
Seal Three – Depravation (Famine) Mt. 24:7b
Seal Four – Death (disease) Mt. 24:7
Seal Five – Decapitation (Martyrdom)
Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted,
and shall kill you: and you shall be hated of
all nations for my name's sake. Mt. 24:9
Rev. 6:9 When he opened the fifth seal,
I saw under
the altar the
souls of those
who had been
slain because
of the word of
God
Conviction
and the
testimony
they had
maintained.
Confession
The Cry Of The Martyrs
Rev. 6:10 - They called out in a loud voice,
"How long, Sovereign YAHWEH, Holy and
True, until you judge the inhabitants of the
earth and avenge our blood?"
The Consoling Of
The Martyrs
Rev. 6:11
Then each of them
was given a white
robe, and they
were told to wait a
little longer,
until the number of their fellow
servants and brothers who
were to be killed as they had
been was completed.
Approx. 43,000,000 Christians
have been martyred since the
crucifixion
Over 160,000 believers will
be martyred this year.
26,000,000 of the 43,000,000 have
died in the 20th century. That is
more than all the centuries of
church history combined.
I John, who also am your brother, and
companion in tribulation, …was in the isle
that is called Patmos, for the word of God,
and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Rev. 1:9
And they overcame him by the blood of the
Lamb, and by the word of their testimony;
and they loved not their lives unto the death.
Rev. 12:11
[I saw] the souls of them
that were beheaded for the
witness of Jesus, and for
the word of God, and
which had not worshipped
the beast, neither his
image, neither had received
[his] mark upon their
foreheads, or in their
hands; and they lived and
reigned with Christ a
thousand years. Rev. 20:4
And I fell at his feet to worship him.
And he said unto me, See [you do it] not: I
am your fellow servant, and of your brethren
that have the testimony of Jesus: worship
God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit
of prophecy.
Rev. 19:10
What is the Spirit of Prophecy?
The spirit of prophecy isn’t
the excitement of hearing about
sensational events in the future or
the telling of them,
but it is that which gives us deep
conviction, creating a stronger
confession for which we are
willing to die, because we know
how it will all turn out.
The
Sixth Seal
Seal one – Deception – Mt. 24:4,5
Seal two – Devastation - Mt. 24:6,7
Seal Three – Depravation - Mt. 24:7b
Seal Four – Death Mt. 24:7
Seal Five – Decapitation Mt. 24:9
Seal Six – Divine Destruction &
Disconcerting Dread
Immediately after the tribulation of those days
Shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall
Give her light, and the stars shall fall from
Heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be
Shaken. Mt. 24:29
I watched as He opened the sixth
seal. There was a great earthquake.
The sun turned
black like sackcloth
made of goat hair,
the whole
moon
turned as
blood
The sky receded
like a scroll,
rolling up
and every mountain and island was
removed from its place.
and the stars in the sky
fell to earth, as late
figs drop from a fig
tree when shaken by a
strong wind. V. 13
Then the kings of the earth, the princes, the
generals, the rich, the mighty, and every slave
and every free man hid in caves and among
the rocks of the mountains.
Rev. 6:16 - They called to the mountains and
the rocks,
Fall on us and hide us!
from the face of
him that sits on the
throne, and from the
wrath of the Lamb.
Rev. 1:17 - For the great day
of His wrath has come; and
who shall be able to stand?
All these events are connected to the
“Completion of God’s Wrath” at the
End of the tribulation
Immediately after the
tribulation of those days shall the
sun be darkened, and the moon
shall not give her light, and the
stars shall fall from heaven, and
the powers of the heavens shall be
shaken:…cont.
And then shall appear the sign of the Son
of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes
of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son
of man coming in the clouds of heaven with
power and great glory.
Mt. 24:29,30
What is the sign of His coming?
God on the throne?
The Lamb?
This would make men turn the
guns from one another to aim
them at Jesus.
And I will show wonders in the heavens and
in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.
31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the
moon into blood, before the great and the terrible
day YAHWEH comes… I will also gather all
nations, and will bring them down into the valley of
Jehoshaphat
Joel 2:30-3:2
Stars Falling?
"`the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not
give its light; 25 the stars will fall from the sky.
Mk. 13:24,25
Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall
the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,
and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the
heavens shall be shaken:
Mt. 24:29
…and the stars in the sky fell to earth, as late figs
drop from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind.
Rev. 6:13
(This is a quote from Is. 34:7)
There are over 400 OT quotes in Rev.
Come near, you nations, to hear; and
listen, you people: let the earth hear, and all
that is in it; the world, and all things that
come forth of it. 2 For the indignation of
YAHWEH is upon all nations, and His fury
upon all their armies: He has utterly
destroyed them, He has delivered them
to the slaughter. 3 Their slain also shall be
cast out, and their stink shall come up out of
their carcasses, and the mountains shall be
melted with their blood. cont.
And all the host of heaven shall be
dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled
together as a scroll: and all their host shall
fall down, as the leaf falls off from the vine,
and as a falling fig from the fig tree. …8 For
it is the day of the YAHWEH’S vengeance,
and the year of recompenses for the
controversy of Zion. Is. 34:1-8
Star - Gr. = Aster
This is where we get out word “Asteroid”
Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for
the day of YAHWEH is near in the valley of decision. 15
The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars
shall withdraw their shining.
Joel 3:15
Who gives orders to the sun, and it does not give its
light; and who keeps the stars from shining.
Job 9:7
The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall
tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars
shall withdraw their shining
Joel 2:10
For the stars of heaven and the constellations
thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened
in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to
shine.
Is. 13:10
I will cover the heaven, and make the
stars thereof dark; I will cover the sun with a
cloud, and the moon shall not give her light.
8 All the bright lights of heaven will I make
dark over you, and set darkness upon thy
land, says YAHWEH GOD. Ez. 32:7-8
Is the earthquake of Revelation 6:12,14
The same earthquake of Revelation 16:18?
And I beheld when he had opened the sixth
seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake…and
every mountain and island were moved out of their
places.
Rev. 6:12,14
7th vial – It is done – Rev. 16:16
…there was a great earthquake, such as was not
since men were upon the earth, so mighty an
earthquake, [and] so great…Cont.
…and the cities of the nations
fell: …And every island fled
away, and the mountains
were not found. 21 And
there fell upon men a great hail
out of heaven, every stone
about the weight of a talent:
(66 lbs ) Rev. 16:19-21
This is what YAHWEH of hosts says; Yet
once, it is a little while, and I will shake the
heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry
[land]; 7 And I will shake all nations, and the
Desire of all nations shall come: Hag. 2;6,7
The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is
clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly. 20
The earth shall reel back and forth like a drunk,…
And it shall come to pass in that day,
YAHWEH shall punish the host of the high ones
that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon
the earth…cont.
And they shall be gathered together, [as]
prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut
up in the prison, and after many days shall they be
visited. 23 Then the moon shall be confounded,
and the sun ashamed, when YAHWEH of hosts
shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and
before his ancients gloriously.
Is. 24:19-22
Behold, the day of YAHWEH is coming, cruel
both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land
desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof
out of it. 10 For the stars of heaven and the
constellations thereof shall not give their light: the
sun shall be darkened in his going forth,…cont.
and the moon shall not cause her light to
shine. And I will punish the world for [their] evil,
and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause
the arrogance of the proud to cease, and will lay
low the haughtiness of the terrible.
I will make a man more precious than
fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge
of Ophir. 13 Therefore I will shake the
heavens, and the earth shall remove out of
her place, in the wrath of YAHWEH of hosts,
and in the day of his fierce anger.
Is. 13:9-13
