God's wrath begins at the 7th trumpet:
Rev 11:15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
Rev 11:16 And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,
Rev 11:17 Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.
Rev 11:18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
Rev 11:19 And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.
The 6th seal depicts events that will occur at the 7th trump (the seals are glimpses of the future) from the perspective of the unsaved.
Sorry, Ewq, but that is really not the truth. The 6th seal depicts events of the 6th seal, and nothing else. John does not jump from just before the 70th week to the middle of the 70th week. That theory is myth. ANY theory that must rearrange John's God given chronology will be proven wrong.
What you miss: the seals are sealing a BOOK: God's goal is to get the BOOK opened - but to do that He must open the seals first. ONce the seals are opened, then the BOOK is opened - to reveal the trumpet judgments. It is therefore impossible that ANY trumpet - even the first, has anything to do with any seal. The timing would be off. NO TRUMPET can be sounded (written inside the book) until all the seals are opened. Period and end of story.
And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, This is written in Greek as a Greek Aorist Active Indicitive Verb. Some experts say this type of verb shows NO tense or timing; others say it shows an event started and ended in the past. In ANY case, the 6th seal will be opened over 3 1/2 years before the 7th trumpet. And at the 6th seal is the first mention of wrath. Therefore I don't buy your theory. However, thanks for the input.
Please, think about this: the TRUTH about the seals is their purpose: to SEAL the book, not to look ahead to anything. Once a seal is opened, it is never mentioned again. Its purpose ended.
