Why there's the best part of 2000 years between the 2 halves of the week I have no idea, this passage is one of those where my position has changed since joining this forum. Somebody put forward an extremely convincing argument why it was Christ that fulfilled Daniel's 70th week and after looking into it a bit further I decided that up to the crucifixion at least the interpretation had a great deal of merit. I have still to look for Scriptures to support my version of the belief because I've been incredibly busy these last couple of weeks or so, no lockdown here as far as I'm concerned.. At the moment it is just a personal belief with no basis other than gut feeling that it's correct. One thing I am sure of is there isn't a seven year tribulation nor a seven year peace treaty, the mark of the beast style vaccine is literally weeks away, not 3.5 years away.. Them last 42 months are almost upon us..
Matthew 24:22
22 Indeed, if the length of this time had not been limited, no one would survive; but for the sake of those who have been chosen, its length will be limited.
What is limited or shortened? Satan's 42 months or the 3.5 years leading up to the 42 months?
Satan's time is not part of the Second Coming. And the Second Coming is not after Satan's 42 months. There is nothing in Revelation at all that states the Lamb has 3.5 years being on earth after the 42 months and after the battle of Armageddon. The final harvest is not after the 7th Trumpet.
The 6th Seal is the one and only Second Coming and God on the throne is coming to be seen on earth as well. This is the surprise event no one is looking for, nor may be prepared for. Well being prepared to endure Satan is enough preparation. I mean who prepares to endure Satan by going out and being a wicked sinner in the most debauchery one can think of? Perhaps one who thinks God will just automatically forgive them for being a foolish virgin who wants to enjoy sin one last time, and God won't mind?
Why the 6th Seal? The 3.5 years of Christ on earth get shorter the longer God tarries. Time can not be limited, if there is a concrete 3.5 years after the Second Coming happens. So God gives us 4 seals, we cannot see from earth the 5th seal. The 4th seal may start and last for weeks, but no guarantee of any time frame, and this seal does not have to end before the 5th and 6th can start. In fact the Second Coming can shorten the length of the 4th seal, or let it extend, while shortening the Trumpets and Thunders. The 6th seal is about the only judgment that can "slide" back in forth in any given event, and shorten the events on either side.
It is true Christ comes on a white horse from above at the battle of Armageddon. That is an unchangeable fact. It is not the event that begins the process. It is the event that ends the process. All have been taught that is the Second Coming. It is the only obvious white horse glorious event that climactically ends sin on earth. Does no one study whats brings about the 42 months prior to this? The Lamb and God on the throne have already been on earth.
No one even teaches about God and the Lamb being here. They are only taught an AC showing up. Did you know that Jesus taught not to expect an AC?
4 Yeshua replied: “Watch out! Don’t let anyone fool you!
5 For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Messiah!’ and they will lead many astray.
Why did the church go against this warning and build this huge sand castle to avoid? Many antichrist, and no where does any author say prepare for the AC. Paul never says AC. John never says AC. Daniel never says AC. They all say look and be prepared for the Second Coming and Jesus Christ the Messiah Himself.
Who are we not to be deceived by? Satan the Adversary and his FP. 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4
For the Day will not come until after the Apostasy has come and the man who separates himself from
Torah has been revealed, the one destined for doom.
4 He will oppose himself to
everything that people call a
god or make an object of worship;
he will put himself above them all, so that he will sit in the Temple
of God and proclaim that he himself is
God.
7 For already this separating from
Torah is at work secretly, but it will be secretly only until he who is restraining is out of the way.
8 Then the one who embodies separation from
Torah will be revealed, the one whom the Lord Yeshua
will slay with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the glory of his coming.
9 When this man who avoids
Torah comes, the Adversary will give him the power to work all kinds of false miracles, signs and wonders.
A few things here. Only the revelation has to happen. Not all the things have to happen prior to the Second Coming. Most of that is describing intent and character, but two beings are in these verses. Satan and the FP no mention of an AC by Paul. Daniel 11:36-39
36 “The king will do as he pleases. He will exalt himself and consider himself greater than any god, and he will utter monstrous blasphemies against the God of gods. He will prosper only until the period of wrath is over, for what has been determined must take place.
37 He will show no respect for the gods his ancestors worshipped, or for the god women worship — he won’t show respect for any god, because he will consider himself greater than all of them.
38 But instead, he will honor the god of strongholds; with gold, silver, precious stones and other costly things he will honor a god unknown to his ancestors.
39 He (FP) will deal with the strongest fortresses with the help of a foreign god (Pan Satan). He will confer honor on those he acknowledges, causing them to rule over many and distributing land as a reward.
Many interpret this as AC, but again 2 beings and only Satan and FP. This is not about a Messiah claiming to redeem people. This is a false prophet claiming to be a god. A religion making false claims. This is about a Greek king known as Antiochus Epiphanies and his buddy god, Satan. Known as Pan historically. Study pan, the peid piper, peter pan, and in the last year a pandemic.
Back to 2 Thessalonians 2
For the Day will not come until after the Apostasy has come and the man (Satan pan) who separates himself from
Torah has been revealed, the one destined for doom.
4 He will oppose himself to
everything that people call a
god or make an object of worship;
he will put himself above them all, so that he will sit in the Temple
of God and proclaim that he himself is
God.
7 For already this separating from
Torah is at work secretly (pan, working with the Greeks then the Romans), but it will be secretly only until he who is restraining is out of the way.
8 Then the one (FP) who embodies separation from
Torah will be revealed, the one (FP) whom the Lord Yeshua
will slay with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the glory of his coming.
9 When this man who avoids
Torah comes (the FP), the Adversary (Satan pan) will give him the power to work all kinds of false miracles, signs and wonders.
The FP will be destroyed but brought back to life. Now Revelation 13.
3 One of the heads (FP) of the beast appeared to have received a fatal wound, but its fatal wound was healed, and the whole earth followed after the beast in amazement.
4 They worshipped the dragon (Satan pan), because he had given his authority to the beast (FP); and they worshipped the beast, saying,
“Who is like the beast?
Who can fight against it?”
11 Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth. It had two horns like those of a lamb, but it spoke like a dragon. (Satan pan)
What is the 4th Seal? Revelation 6:7-8
7 When he broke the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living being say, “Go!”
8 I looked, and there in front of me was a pallid, sickly-looking horse. Its rider’s name was Death, and Sh’ol followed behind him. They were given authority to kill one-quarter of the world by war, by famine, by plagues and with the wild animals of the earth.
Death (with a "D") is introduced to the world. Will Satan be revealed just prior to the 6th seal? How about both the FP and Satan, and the FP is destroyed per Paul in the 6th Seal? Sometime during the Trumpets and Thunders the FP is brought back as a counter move like in Egypt the false priest mirrored the miracles of Moses. 2019 the year that launched the pandemic on the earth. 1 will be taken 1 will be left. It is not about the rapture, but death. At the start covid19 seemingly struck at randomn taken 1 person in a "couple" and leaving the other behind. Yes it got out of hand and then many relatives were all taken at once. A conqueror going forth to conquer the whole world. Yet again in the 4th seal plague is still a major player, along with famine, a disruption in the food chain, war, and introducing wild animals now programmed to attack humanity. But enough about Death.
If you follow the chronology of Revelation 13, the last beast to be introduced is the image of the FP, and God allows Satan to "bring it to life". Satan breaths his "son" to life in outright defiance of God breathing life into God's sons on the 6th Day. The last thing on Satan's to do list to be God. Then Satan will present his Messiah to the World. Science fiction has programmed us for this moment. Robots seving humanity so humans can stop working.
So the 6th seal is about the surprise entrance of God in the midst of turmoil where even Satan and the FP may be introduced because Death has been unleashed onto the world. The longer God holds off the shorter the Trumpets and Thunders. Once the 4th Seal opens, the Second Coming will shorten the period or Death will reign longer and the Trumpets and Thunders will be even shorter. Will people rethink the Second Coming if Satan and the FP are revealed in the 4th seal? I will not hold my breath. Only the Second Coming will change people's minds. Will there be many virgins still waiting for the AC at the 7th Trumpet?
