The Sixth Seal is listed in Revelation before the Trumpets or the woes.
There is no reason or indication we should conflate them.
It isn't. None of the graphic descriptions of the Day of the Lord's wrath, say it will be the end.
The world will be badly affected, but only the Middle East region will be cleared and cleansed.
No need to mess around with the day; month or year periods, because after the Sixth Seal: the earth shall be moved from her place, Isaiah 13:13, a year will become exactly 360 days, a month exactly 30 days, and a day will remain 24 hours, as the earths rotation won't change, just our orbital speed.
Hosea 6:1-5 plainly states the two 'days' of the Church age and the one 'day' of the Millennium, in Gods timing. In our timing - two thousand years and one thousand years.
The Sixth Seal is listed in Revelation before the Trumpets or the woes.
There is no reason or indication we should conflate them.
People are expecting the end of the world.
12And when I saw the Lamb open the sixth seal, there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black like sackcloth of goat hair, and the whole moon turned blood red,
13and the stars of the sky fell to the earth like unripe figs dropping from a tree shaken by a great wind.
14The sky receded like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved from its place.
15Then the kings of the earth, the nobles, the commanders, the rich, the mighty, and every slave and free man hid in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains.
16And they said to the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of the One seated on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb.
17For the great day of Their wrath has come, and who is able to withstand it?”
The servants are sealed and the 'great multitude' comes out of the great tribulation.
1After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back its four winds so that no wind would blow on land or sea or on any tree.
2And I saw another angel ascending from the east, with the seal of the living God. And he called out in a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm the land and the sea:
3“Do not harm the land or sea or trees until we have sealed the foreheads of the servants of our God.”
After they are sealed, there is a silence for half an hour, then the Trumpets sound.
There is no time element given for the first four Trumpets.
1When the Lamb opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for
about half an hour. 2And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and they were given seven trumpets.
3Then another angel, who had a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense to offer, along with the prayers of all the saints, on the golden altar before the throne.
4And the smoke of the incense, together with the prayers of the saints, rose up before God from the hand of the angel.
5Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and hurled it to the earth; and there were peals of thunder, and rumblings, and flashes of lightning, and an earthquake.
6And the seven angels with the seven trumpets prepared to sound them.
7Then the first angel sounded his trumpet, and hail and fire mixed with blood were hurled down upon the earth. A third of the earth was burned up, along with a third of the trees and all the green grass.
8Then the second angel sounded his trumpet, and something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea. A third of the sea turned to blood,
9a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.
10Then the third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star burning like a torch fell from heaven and landed on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water.
11The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters turned bitter like wormwood oil,
a and many people died from the bitter waters.
12Then the fourth angel sounded his trumpet, and a third of the sun and moon and stars were struck. A third of the stars were darkened, a third of the day was without light, and a third of the night as well.
13And as I observed, I heard an eagle flying overhead, calling in a loud voice, “Woe! Woe! Woe to those who dwell on the earth, because of the trumpet blasts about to be sounded by the remaining three angels!”
I already know that you don't think that it really means 'a half hour', I know that you think it really means 20 years or whatever it is. But I am just going with what it literally says.
It isn't. None of the graphic descriptions of the Day of the Lord's wrath, say it will be the end.
The world will be badly affected, but only the Middle East region will be cleared and cleansed.
I thought I was going out of my way to say that it wasn't the end. Clearly, I don't think it is the end. Why would I insist that there is 5 months, then 42 months, then 70 weeks left? And even then, it is not the 'end of the world'.
No need to mess around with the day; month or year periods, because after the Sixth Seal: the earth shall be moved from her place, Isaiah 13:13, a year will become exactly 360 days, a month exactly 30 days, and a day will remain 24 hours, as the earths rotation won't change, just our orbital speed.
I really doubt this.
