2.Tribulation Saints

A special focus on the Tribulation Saints of the Sixth Seal and how it lead to understanding all the harvests.

The sixth seal rapture timing viewpoint has been the most neglected viewpoint for those looking to prove just one harvest event, as I used to. It seemed to be the most direct conclusion to come to when reading the Bible without over complicating it. But, upon closer inspection, I discovered even the sixth seal perspective was flawed. The ‘flaw’ seemed to be partially reconcilable by leaning preferentially on St. Paul’s greater enlightenment, when necessary, but it turns out to be much more involved than that:

The Crux of the Sixth Seal

Context of the fourth and fifth seals:

A quarter of humanity will perish at the fourth seal, then the fifth seal show martyrs crying out for eternal justice under God, YHWH, our Holy Father’s alter . . .

2.1 Glory God Beyond

But, with further study and prayer, I began to realize, and have faith, that there was an earlier harvest of the bride of Christ and that some of the preps I was making may end up being very useful to tribulation saints. And I enjoyed continuing to make a few preps for them, while I changed my focus to understanding how to be Christ’s bride. I found out that some watchers were making ‘left behind’ kits; So I joined them in trying to seek out special individuals to whom the Lord might want certain things to go. (Easier said than done!) Data is especially important since Daniel 7:25 states that the Beast is going to try, to eliminate calendrical knowledge by changing the ‘times and laws’. AI has already been adulterating online Bibles. Woe to those who can’t tell the difference! The Bible warns about ‘a dessert of the WORD.’

How Does Revelation’s Sixth Seal Line up with the Olivet Discourse Harvest?

2.4 Glory God Beyond

Although the cosmic signs line up, in Daniel’s 70th week there will be other very impressive earthquakes that will shake Earth and cosmic events that involve the sun, the moon and even the stars, before the Millennium begins; All of those will be expected to frighten the unsaved people on earth, but interestingly, that’s not actually mentioned in Matt. 24 and Mark 13, and the ‘redemption of the elect’ isn’t mentioned in Rev. 6.

Regarding the synoptic gospels. It’s useful to remember that there are three of them, but only one Olivet Discourse by Jesus Christ, therefore it’s been recorded from three different vantage points, which isn’t the same as three different prophesies lining up, although many Bereans have a very interesting hypothesis that each of them is focusing on a different audience.

Compare it to the verses in the Synoptic Gospels:

Olivet Discourse – Mark 13: 19-20, because those will be days of distress unequaled from the beginning, when God created the world, until now—and never to be equaled again.  If the Lord had not cut short those days, no one would survive. But for the sake of the elect, whom he has chosen, he has shortened them.” (Only after the Jews see the A.O.D. and flee are the signs in the cosmos mentioned in verse 24.)

Olivet Discourse – Luke 21:22, “For these are the days of vengeance, to fulfill all that is written.” (Only in verse 25 are the signs in the cosmos mentioned.)

2.6 Glory God Beyond

We shouldn’t be too alarmed, even because Peter quoted Joel 2 at Pentecost, after there’d been a darkening of the sun in the daytime, from noon to 3 PM, on the day of Jesus’ crucifixion in conjunction with a great earthquake in Jerusalem, and there were partial and full blood moons in Passover month for at least three years in a row starting in 31 AD..

2.7 Glory God Beyond

The rest of the explanation of why the Sixth Seal and Olivet Harvests are different, follow below, mainly at mark 2.15, 2.20, 2.26 and 2.28. After some preliminaries are covered first:

Three Harvests, each with three parts

The First Fruits of the Barley Harvest could also be the captives Jesus removed from Hell, the ‘Bosom of Abraham’, when “He took captivity captive.” And, my interpretation of the two grape harvests of Rev. 14, is that only the second one is the grapes of wrath.

2.8 Glory God Beyond

The Three Harvest Model makes the most sense, and the Sixth Seal Harvest, which is the Wheat Harvest of the Tribulation Saints, is the middle and by far the largest one.

But each harvest has three parts . . .

. . . and since the Sixth Seal Wheat Harvest Saints follow the Fifth Seal martyrs of the Barley Harvest, I want to talk about martyrs first:

The Gleanings are Martyrs

Why does God Almighty pays such serious attention, in Leviticus 27, to what’s holy, what’s set apart, who they’re set apart to and their redeemablity?

2.9 Glory God Beyond

Now if the first-fruits are holy, so is the whole batch. And if the root is holy, so are the branches. (Romans 11:16)

Not Everything that’s Set Apart is Set Apart to God:

Torah Law requires the corners of harvestable fields to be set apart, given over to the stranger and the poor, that they may glean. The poor and the strangers become the new owners of the gleanings. Nevertheless, the whole field, including its corners, will have become holy from the time that the first-fruits sheaf, harvested from that particular field was waved by a priest in front of God at the temple.

A great visual, thanks to Jaco of ‘God’s Roadmap to the End’

2.10 Glory God Beyond

The first fruits belong to God, the owner’s portion belongs to the owner, and the gleanings belong to the stranger and the poor.

2.11 Glory God Beyond

Talking about Martyrs – a note on the Two Witnesses

I think the fact that they’re described as ‘ the two lamp stands means they’ll be witnessing both to Jews and Christians.

2.12 Glory God Beyond

Certain Israelites were dedicated to God even before being born.

Under Torah law, all firstborn children of the Israelites were holy to God. Originally, the first born sons of the Israelites were to be set apart as priests of God spending their lives working in the tabernacle. . .

2.13 Glory God Beyond

But, the sons of Levi replaced the first born males, because the Levites were the only tribe that didn’t worship of the golden calf in the dessert of Sinai.

But, the first born sons had already been dedicated to God, so God allowed them to be redeemed for a price by their parents. Yet they remained holy to God.

A similar thing took place with firstborn animals. They could be redeemed from God for a price, which was used to support the Old Covenant temple/tabernacle functions. If the new owner of the redeemed animal wanted to give it back to God after that, they could only do so by putting it to death.

Martyrdom is a sensitive topic . . .

Jesus Christ will, very soon, take His own portion of the Barley Harvest, the Open Door Harvest of Rev. 3:8 and the gleanings/martyrs of the Barley Harvest will follow.

PURIM Since early 2025 AD, watchers have begun observing the whole time interval ‘under the umbrella’ or ‘in the scope’ covering by the meaning of the Purim holiday, which is the prophesy of the entire Book of Ester. It’s about how God the Father, Jesus Christ and the bride of Christ all work together to save the ultimate remnant of Israel. This important topic is explained in: 1.

2.15 Glory God Beyond

After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands.

2.16 Glory God Beyond

Increased Biblical knowledge leads us to let go of a few cherished simpler explanations.

This viewpoint fits best when the Book of Revelation is understood to be well ordered and chronological.

2.17 Glory God Beyond

Example of a forward overlap; the chain of events released when Jesus breaks the first, second and third seals (horsemen) overlap each other combining to bring about the death of a quarter of humanity at the fourth seal.

2.18 Glory God Beyond

The following is the Greek word for ‘they.’ Almost every translation gets it right but both King James versions get it wrong by translating it as ‘us.’

them {into}
αὐτοὺς (autous)
Personal / Possessive Pronoun – Accusative Masculine 3rd Person Plural
Strong’s 846: He, she, it, they, them, same. From the particle au; the reflexive pronoun self, used of the third person, and of the other persons.

So, St. John saw the seven fold spirit of the New Covenant betrothal relationship, blazing in God’s throne room, just a few verses after he saw Jesus walking among the 7 lamp stands in his earthly vision on the Island of Patmos. Unless the bride of Christ isn’t going to have bodies, it seems that if she were already in God’s throne room physically when the 14 elders burst into the song, that she’d be described, as the tribulation saints were in Rev. 7, as standing in God’s throne room, wearing white robes, (Rev. 7: 9-17) except with crowns. and possibly without the palm branches.

The sixth seal is also when four angels restrain the release of God’s Trumpet Judgements until 144,000 are protectively sealed for their mission by an angel with the seal of the living God.

2.26 Glory God Beyond

Why would they suddenly need that protection if many harmful judgements had already been released?

2.27 Glory God Beyond

The Tribulation Saints of the Sixth Seal

After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!”  And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, saying, “Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God forever and ever! Amen.”
 Then one of the elders addressed me, saying, “Who are these, clothed in white robes, and from where have they come?”  I said to him, “Sir, you know.” And he said to me, “These are the ones coming out of the great tribulation. They have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

Revelation 7 9-14

2.28 Glory God Beyond

There were different ways to put the pieces of the multi-harvest puzzle together;

But, because this site holds to God’s 6,000 yr. (Covenant years) plan for mankind, (slightly different according to human calendars) followed by the Millennial Kingdom of Jesus Christ, the possibilities are narrowing rapidly.
