You are all mixed up in your chronology. Read
Matthew 24 up to verse 14. These verses with earthquakes, wars pestilence etc are a parallel to the first five seals. And if you look closely at what Jesus said in verse 6, HE IS NOT TALKING ABOUT THE END (the end is not yet). Neither are the first 5 seals about the end. These are church age events. The abomination (verse 15) comes AFTER all these things that are the beginning of sorrows and the beginning of birth pains.
Matthew 24:8 (KEY POINT HERE) 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows. { The Greek word used here is odin 5604, it doesn't exactly mean Sorrows, though I guess a woman can be sorrowful during birth, but here is the actual meaning of the Word ODIN 5604 = 1) the pain of childbirth, travail pain, birth pangs....Akin to 3601 a
pang or
throe, especially of childbirth:—pain, sorrow, travail.
These are called what my friend ? Birth pangs or throes of birth. Meaning that these are signs that the end times are NEARING, just like birth pangs are a sign the Child is nearing to be born. So the "Sorrows" doesn't mean the End Times have started. They are signs the end time is Near, nothing more. We have to use proper translations.
So lets go through this first part of Matthew brother and take it one or two verse at a time.
24 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. 2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. 3 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 ? {{ So Jesus tells the disciples about the Temples future destruction, then the disciples ask Jesus
THREE QUESTIONS 1. When shall this happen ? 2. What will be the sign of your coming (back) ? 3. And when will the end of the World (end if the Age) be ? So lets dissect Jesus' answers below. }}
4 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. 6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. {{ So Jesus tells them, take heed there will be many false Christ' coming unto you. No doubt saying they were the real Messiah, since Christ in Greek means Messiah, the were not claiming to be Jesus but the true Messiah. You will hear of wars,
BUT THE END IS NOT YET. }}
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows. {{ Nations will fight each other, there will be famines, earthquakes, and pestilences, these are the beginning of BIRTH PANGS/THROES, or a Signal that the time is Nearing. So the Time is still not at hand, these are just Signs. So all of these people associate with the Seals are just wrong, TRANSLATIONS have to be correct. It is not Sorrows in essence, it is Birth Pangs. }}
9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. {{ Jesus is speaking to them about their personal, future endeavors here in verse 9, most of the disciples were murdered/killed, then he transitions to like a 2000 year period in verses 10-13 and in my opinion tells the disciples what the Church will go through until the end Gets here in VERSE 14, he is telling them many will be offended, or betray the Faith, and hate one another (Catholics vs, Protestants for years HATED EACH OTHER) Many false prophets will arise, well we know know there are many cuckoo puffs out there now, and has always been a few of those throughout the ages no doubt, John Jones deceived many. And because SIN SHALL ABOUND (Getting closer to the end with each verse) many people will become hard hearted and Atheists/Cold Doubters. BUT.....All Christians that ENDURE TO THE END (Of their Lives) the same shall be saved. We have to run the race until the end, we have to endure in the Faith until the end of our lives, through all the turmoil, trials and troubles, we can not turn back to sin, we MUST ENDURE IN THE FAITH. }}
14 And this gospel of the kingdom
shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. {{ So the Clue is the END can not come until the Gospel has went to the Ends of the Earth, TV has made this come to pass, the Gospel has been preached unto all the world. Which means the END can now come, it could not have been the case 40 years ago, but it can be the case today. Jesus continues his teachings, lets look at a few of the other verses in context here.
15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand 16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: {{ Jesus tells the Disciples that when the people living in Judea see the Abomination of Desolation spoken by Daniel they need to flee, this Abomination is going to be an Image of the Beast just as Rev. 13 says. And As Daniel 9:27 says when read/TRANSLATED properly. }}
Matthew 24:21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. 23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. 24 For there shall arise
false Christs, and false prophets,
and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. {{ We see here that the False Prophet and Anti-Christ or fake Christ is being spoke of here. This is when the Great Tribulation happens, at the END TIMES.
So we are getting the WHEN THIS WILL HAPPEN HERE !!................
First question is answered by Jesus. }}
Second question, what will be the Sign of thy Coming and the third question was when will the end of the Age be. Both questions Jesus answered at the same time, because of course, Jesus Second Coming is the End of the Age.
Matthew 24:25 Behold, I have told you before. 26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. 27 F
or as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
29 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: 30 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.
{{{ So Jesus answers by Saying I will come in the Clouds, out of the East, do not believe ANY LIE by any False Prophet or False Christ/Messiah. I will come
(WITH US SAINTS) Immediately after the Tribulation when he Sun and Moon is Darkened (By all the Smoke of the Plagues no doubt) then shall the people of the Earth see Jesus coming back, and that is the End of the Age. }}}
Matthew 1-13 has nothing to do with the Tribulation nor the Seals.
