The day of the Lord starts after the great tribulation is over.
great trib/time such as never was
after it - sun darkened - the stars fall
moon blood
only now can the day of the Lord begin
It is not - moon blood - then the great tribulation begins.
The day of the Lord begins as God destroying, and He won't start to destroy until after the announcement in Revelation 11:18.
It will also mention time as to reward the saints.
judge the dead
reward the saints
destroy -them -that destroy the earth
God is not among the destroyers yet - or at this trumpet time, He would destroy Himself
Let's follow John, shall we?
THIS IS GOD'S ORDER:
At the 6th seal, or just before, the sun turns dark and the moon appears blood red: it is the SIGN for the start of the Day of the Lord.
The 144,000 must be seals before the trumpets begin to HURT the earth.
A few days later:
The 7th seal is opened, and the 70th week of Daniel begins.
6 trumpets sound: judgments from God.
7th trumpet marks the midpoint, where people flee after seeing the abomination.
the man of sin is revealed as the BEAST.
The false prophet shows up.
God sends a warning: it is either refuse the mark or forever in the lake of fire.
They create and image, and make a law: bow down or lose your head.
The create a mark, and demand that all receive this mark.
Then days of great tribulation come, such as was not on the planet.
After an unknown period of time, God has mercy on the saints and pours out the first six vials of His wrath - to SHORTEN those days of great tribulation.
The days of great tribulation are over - but the rest of the Beast's 42 months will continue
When the 1260th day comes (since the abomination) the 7th vial is poured out to END the week.
Then after perhaps a few days, ANOTHER SIGN in the sun and moon: this time both are darkened. The sun will appear like a black goat or a black sackcloth made from black goat hair. The starlight will disappear. It will be total darkness on earth.
The marriage and supper take place in heaven.
After an unknown period of time, SUDDENLY:
Jesus returns, like lightning flashing across a dark sky.
If you have a different theory - and you do - it is WRONG. John's timing and order is correct. You insist in rearranging and so your theory is in error.
great trib/time such as never was
after it - sun darkened - the stars fall
moon blood
only now can the day of the Lord begin
You cannot prove this by scripture, because it is ERROR. The days of great tribulation are AFTER chapter 14. You are trying to have days of Great tribulation before God begins the 70th week. Your cart is about a mile down the road ahead of the horse. Your error is HUGE. Why not just follow JOHN'S order? Do you think you can do better on the order than the Holy Spirit?
Can you PROVE that the four horses represent days of great tribulation - when no one else can?
Go back to chapter 5:
6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.
WHAT TIME did Jesus ascend and send the Holy Spirit down? You should know it was around 32 or 33 AD. Now search HARD for 2000 years in any verse after that. It is NOT THERE. That means seal #1 was opened in 32 or 33 AD. It is what is written. You are pulling the first seals OUT OF CONTEXT!
The truth is, the first 5 seals are CHURCH AGE: and the church age ends just before the DAY of the LORD begins.
ONE THING you have right: the sun will turn dark and the moon will appear red just before the DAY starts: 6th seal.
It is not - moon blood - then the great tribulation begins.
Why not? That is the way John WROTE IT. I hope I am there when you correct John on his timing of Revelation. That should be fun!
Here is JOHN's timing:
moon into blood -> the DAY begins -> sealing of the 144,000 and church seen in heaven -> the 7th seal is opened -> the Trumpet judgments begin to HURT THE EARTH (Chapters 8 and 9)
The day of the Lord begins as God destroying, and He won't start to destroy until after the announcement in Revelation 11:18. This is TOTAL AND COMPLETE MYTH. Why do you insist on correcting John - as if He did not write it correctly?
Follow JOHN'S order:
moon into blood -> the DAY begins -> sealing of the 144,000 and church seen in heaven -> the 7th seal is opened -> the Trumpet judgments begin to HURT THE EARTH (Chapters 8 and 9)
What is it about John's order that you can't agree with? Did you read how one angel told the other angels who will HURT the earth to WAIT until the 144,000 are sealed?
By the end of chapter 7, the sealing is FINISHED. Then in chapter 8 the 7th seal is opened to begin the 70th week of Daniel or "the trib" as some call it. Then the HURT begins as each trumpet judgment is sounded.
God is not among the destroyers yet - or at this trumpet time, He would destroy Himself
This is classic! You must be the first human ever to write such nonsense! Throw your theories into the trash and start over! Next time follow John's order of things.
