2.Tribulation Saints

~ gloriyahway

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. Although the ‘flaw’ seemed to be partially reconcilable by leaning preferentially on St. Paul’s greater enlightenment, when necessary, 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 . . .

2.0 See the Glory of God, Beyond the Veil

< 4th seal 5th seal >

Thoughts about the Tribulation Saints:

When comparing parallel passages in the synoptic gospels to the almost exact words in the Book of Revelation at the opening of the sixth seal, well . . . it was, at one time, mind boggling to me that I’d rarely heard the sixth seal rapture mentioned in sermons or by most high profile Bible commentators.

2.1 Glory God Beyond

Realizing by studying that the sixth seal rapture seemed to have the best Biblical support, I originally began making a few preps, to survive the ‘great tribulation’ (not God’s wrath which is the greatest tribulation) leading up to the sixth seal. They were mainly spiritual, but there were also a few physical preps, such as starting to learn how to fish, growing a garden and stocking up on coffee and my medicine to help me get by and to have extra resources to help others, especially Christians, through what I deduced would be about a year long trial.

But, with further study and prayer, I began realize, and have faith, that there was an earlier harvest of the bride of Christ. The preps I was making could end up being very useful to tribulation saints. As I enjoyed continuing to make some preps for them, I changed my focus to understanding how to be Christ’s bride. And also, I found out that some of the other watchers were making left behind kits; So I joined them in trying to seek out special individuals to whom the Lord might want certain items to go. (Easier said than done!) Data is especially important since Daniel 7:25 states that the Beast is going to try, at the very least, 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.’

2.2 Glory God Beyond

Preparing a ‘time capsule’ of sorts for the left behind:

But, I also had in mind, Jesus Christ’s Open Door for the Church of Philadelphia. I was hoping and praying to be invited through His open door, which is Jesus Himself.

John 10: 9-11, I (Jesus) am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep.”

Eventually that idea took over for me, but it wasn’t possible until I understood that the bad translations of 2 Thessalonians 2: 1-3 had misled me into thinking that the bride/true church would not be redeemed until the Antichrist sits in the holy place. See post:

7. 2nd Thessalonians Mistranslated

https://alephtav.blog/2024/08/26/7-mistakes/

I’ve whittled the difficult topic down to its bare basics, but the link to the ‘Soothkeep’ study is better than pure gold! If your a big ‘physical survival’ prepper, don’t miss it! If the Bible itself seems to be telling you that there’s no earlier rescue, I think you’d be doing your self a great disservice to not watch it.

2.3 Glory God Beyond

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

2.4 Glory God Beyond

Although they seem to line up, in Daniel’s 70th week, there’ll be a few other impressive earthquakes that will shake Earth and cosmic events that involve the sun and moon; And each one will frighten all the unsaved people on earth.

Regarding the synoptic gospels. It’s useful to remember that there are three of them, but only one Olivet Discourse by Jesus Christ; So it’s been recorded from three different angles. That’s not the same as three different prophesies lining up.

The Revelation 6:12-17 verses dazzled me . . .

. . . so much that it blinded me when the frightened people said, “Hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! For the great day of Their wrath has come, and who can withstand it?” Because I was blinded, I fully equated it with the Olivet Discourse when it said, . . . the Son of Man coming in the clouds with power and great glory.

2.5 Glory God Beyond

Here’s what I overlooked:

They can’t be referring to the same event because the Olivet Discourse clearly describes the Son of Man coming after the greatest tribulation on Earth while Rev. 6 says “the great day of their wrath has come” (it was just beginning).

Compare it to the verses in the Synoptic Gospels:

Olivet Discourse – Matt. 24:21,  “For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again.”

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.”

Olivet Discourse – Luke 21:22, “For these are the days of vengeance, to fulfill all that is written.”

2.6 Glory God Beyond

No more proof is required, but just to point out one more thing, because it really stands out to me now: No throne of God the Father appearing in the heavenlies to everybody on Earth was mentioned in the Olivet Discourse. What could be more impressive than God’s Almighty’s throne appearing to all humanity from the heavens above? And what could be more unlikely that Jesus Christ forgetting to mention that?

So they’re definitely not the same harvest!

2.7 Glory God Beyond

Three Harvests – each with three parts:

2.8 Glory God Beyond

The owner’s portion of the Fruit or Good Grape Harvest is where 1/3 of the Jews are redeemed, those who repent during the Day of the Lord/Time of Jacob’s Trouble.

Revelation 14:14-20 The Two Grape Harvests

There are different multiple harvest viewpoints. Although I disagree with the idea that the Rev. 14 harvests have anything to do with grain, I still find the opinion in the link below valuable, because of the interesting way in which it breaks the mold, presenting an atypical understating of the ‘grapes of wrath.’

https://www.patheos.com/blogs/jimerwin/2016/08/30/revelation-1414-20-two-great-harvests/

Reminder: AlepTav.blog See the Glory of God, is part of my own expository notes. I could be live editing. It’s not a course.

The three harvest model works well & absolutely makes the most sense, but each harvest has three parts:

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 redemablity?

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

But, 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.

 And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not make clean riddance of the corners of thy field when thou reapest, neither shalt thou gather any gleaning of thy harvest: thou shalt leave them unto the poor, and to the stranger: I am the Lord your God. Leviticus 23:22

Gleanings are given over to the stranger and the poor. Nothing made holy by God can be redeemed back to God after it was given to another owner, except by death. The Book of Leviticus, can be confusing at first in that many, but not all things can be redeemed from God, such as the first born of every human and animal, which is done by the involved party paying a price to God, which is determined by Torah Law.

But, that’s different than God redeeming a holy thing or person back to himself after it’s been given over to another owner! And it seems to explain why all the gleanings of all the soul harvests are martyred.

2.11 Glory God Beyond

Talking about martyrs – a note on the Two Witnesses:

My hand drawn chart above shows the Two Witnesses to be the gleanings of the Wheat Harvest. I may be wrong, but I don’t think that the souls who’ll be the gleanings of any harvest, have less faith. I think martyrs have a lot of faith. And that makes the Two Witnesses a perfect fit to be the gleanings of the Wheat Harvest. Many speculate that the Two Witnesses might be Enoch and Elijah. That would make it clear why God took them from Earth, long ago, before they died. Having been two of the most faithful men who ever lived, they’d certainly return to Earth to complete their lives in the flesh anytime God wishes them to become martyrs. It’s all for God’s glory. Whoever the Two Witnesses are, they’ll have a most extraordinary 3.5 yr. mission! I think they could be here witnessing right now, but without yet having needed to use their Moses/Elijah-like Holy Spirit powers, at least not in an obvious way that the whole world has noticed. In post 15. Awesome Testimonies, I’ve started a list of who they might be, a candidate list among those who are here now, already witnessing. As soon as they begin demonstrating their powers, the attention of the whole world will be on them, especially toward the end of their 3.5 year ministry. I expect most people will see it on their devices when they’re resurrected and raptured, which will be the catalyst for the salvation of many souls, including most of the 1/3 remnant of the Jews.

https://alephtav.blog/2024/08/19/15-testimonies/

2.12 Glory God Beyond

Below is a verse stating that a man dedicated or devoted to God must not be sold or redeemed, but shall be put to death:

Leviticus 27: 28-29 “Notwithstanding no devoted thing, that a man shall devote unto the Lord of all that he hath, both of man and beast, and of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed: every devoted thing is most holy unto the Lord. None devoted, which shall be devoted of men, shall be redeemed; but shall surely be put to death.”

It’s my understanding that the word ‘devoted’ or ‘dedicated’ has the same meaning as made holy or sacred, which means that Lev. 27 applies to the gleanings. Whole fields were dedicated to God through the first fruits offering, but God commanded the corners, although still holy to God, to be given over to another owner, the poor and the stranger. Even though God commands it, it’s the owner who must do it. Notice they were not sold or redeemed, but were only ‘given.’

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 temple / 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.

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.

This is a sensitive topic . . .

. . . so, I’ve provided links for a well documented course about it by ‘God’s Road Map to the End.’ It explains the hows and whys of the three part of harvests, their first-fruits, owners portion and gleanings: (If You Tube takes it down try Telegram to get uncensored content.) (On some of the details he’s merely speculating, especially the part where he thinks satan will break God’s harvest laws and therefore will be required to give back to God those souls who took the mark-of-the-beast before it was legal for him to give it out.) Woah!Although it’s true that satan’s not legally allowed to gather the gleanings of any harvest until they’re legally given over to the world, after Jesus Christ gathers His owner’s portion, absolutely no one will be taken into God Almighty’s Holy Perfect Kingdom who ‘s not covered by the blood of Jesus Christ! I don’t know where people who are taken illegally by satan will go. The Bible simply doesn’t tell us.

Jesus Christ may, very soon, take His ‘owner’s portion’ of the Barley Harvest, the Open Door Harvest of Rev. 3:8

Purim:

Watchers are observing the whole time interval ‘under the umbrella’ or ‘in the scope’ covering by the meaning of the Purim holiday, which is 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:

2.15 Glory God Beyond

1. Jesus is the Door-High Watches

https://alephtav.blog/2024/09/02/1-hisbride/

Another reason why he Sixth seal Harvest can’t be the Olivet Discourse Harvest:

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.”

Revelation 7:9
The Olivet Harvest is not like the Barley and Wheat Harvests. It’s not for every nation, tribe, people and language. It’s the harvest that’s overwhelmingly for the Jews. There’s a full proof study in post:

Watch for Jesus Christ:

https://alephtav.blog/2024/09/04/a-watchjesus/

2.16 Glory God Beyond

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

Biblical knowledge has been increasing dramatically, and through this learning process many of us, (myself along with my family in Christ, both locally and in various online watcher communities) have come to understand from scripture that there are three harvests of saints, each with three parts..

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

2.17 Glory God Beyond

Contrary to what many teach, I think the Book of Revelation is an orderly book in the sense that, when zooming out, it’s mostly chronological, despite the fact that it contains a huge parenthetical section and some overlaps. I’ll try to clarify:

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.

Backward overlaps are common to storytelling: To tell a complex story people have to consistently go back and ‘pick up threads’ that were left off, because it’s impossible to forward relate everything at the same time.

It’s seems that understanding how the timing of the Open Door Harvest juxtaposes with the Lamb of God taking the scroll requires us to perceive time with layers.

2.18 Glory God Beyond

Most believers think the Christ’s bride must be physically in God’s throne room before the Lamb of God takes the scroll from Father God’s hand. But, the 24 elders can’t be the bride, as the 24 elders sang a song to praise the Lamb of God for redeeming ‘them’ with His blood. Who’s ‘them’? What else is in the throne room? Lets consider the 7 blazing lamp stands/torches in the throne room of God, which St. Paul saw before he saw the Lamb of God take the scroll from the hand of His Father YHWH.

How might those redeemed ‘after’ Christ’s crucifixion, the subject of the song the 24 ‘elders’ sang, be represented in God’s throne room?

Well it’s the lamp stands of course! They must represent the condition of Christ’s bride, while she’s still on earth, like a barometer with their flames indicating her state of readiness.

It’s recorded in Talmud . . .

. . . that from the time of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, the menorah constantly blew out for 40yrs. . . until the temple was destroyed. Now the earthly temple was a reflection of God’s heavenly temple – They’re linked. And there was a seven branched menorah in God’s throne room which represented the sevenfold spirit of the betrothal relationship, so there was the solid gold menorah with 7 branches in His earthly tabernacles and temples.

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, she’d be described as the tribulation saints were: standing in God’s throne room wearing white robes, etc., as described in Rev. 7:9-17.

It must be the act of seeing the blazes on all 7 lamp stands simultaneously reach their glorious fullness, indicating Christ’s bride’s readiness (as compared to Rev. 2-3 when Jesus warned two of the churches that He’s remove their lamp stands if they didn’t repent), that caused the 24 elders to burst into song and praises and cast their crowns! It was also likely time for them, in their position as elders, to undergo an adjustment to their positions, which further explains why they cast their crowns.

2.19 Glory God Beyond

With 7 full blazes . . .

. . . the saints being Holy Spirit filled, were on fire for the Lord! They were consuming Him, THE WORD, and shining it forth – being the light of the world. And that’s what convinced Father God to hand the scroll to Jesus at that time. There can’t be a Kingdom with only a King and a planet. A king requires subjects; Jesus now has His first, and most passionate group of subjects – His bride. Now His Kingdom can begin to move forward. The scroll is the Deed to Earth, so it’s time to start breaking the seals in order to bring it forth.

Some of the Elders could be from the Hall of Faith:

The harvest chart shows the 24 Elders as the first-fruits of God’s Barley Harvest of souls. They might be those who ‘came up’ out of their graves right after Jesus Christ died on the cross and who, after Jesus was resurrected, came to life and went to Jerusalem to be seen by many. The other possibility is that the 24 Elders are the spirit-souls who Jesus Christ released from captivity in Hades; They may have included some of the heroes from the Hebrews 11 Hall of Faith, 8 out of 22 of whom were not Israelites; That’d make sense since the Barley Harvest is for all nations just like the Wheat Harvest.

2.20 Glory God Beyond

Again, it’s the fruit or Good Grape Harvest that seems to be mostly exclusive to the Jews.

2.21 Glory God Beyond

It’s also likely that some of the sons of Zadok, were among those in Abraham’s bosom; Although they weren’t mentioned in Hebrews 11, they could be among the 24 elders.

Where’s Proof that the Zadokites Stayed Faithful?

https://biblehub.com/q/where’s_proof_zadokites_stayed_faithful.htm

A few final things to consider . . .

Appointed times / Holy convocations . . .

. . . are not merely rituals, they’re appointments or meetings with God Almighty.

The First Fruits appointed time of the barley harvest, is when every field owner brings a sheaf or ‘omer’ with ripening barley ears to the temple. (A sheaf is a quantity that can be carried by one person if bundled.) At the temple, a priest will wave it in a special way before God, burn part of it and save part of it to eat later. He’ll also sacrifice a flawless lamb as a burnt offering, along with a wheat flour-oil mixture and wine. The specific timing given in Leviticus 23, is the day after the first Sabbath following Passover. Only after First Fruits could God’s people harvest their owner’s portion:

2.22 Glory God Beyond

Agricultural harvests are symbolic of harvests of souls:

On the appointed time: First-Fruits of the barley harvest, in the year of Jesus Christ’s resurrection, Jesus brought a ‘sheaf of soul’s’ to His Father in heaven. The 24 Elders are that sheaf. No one appears before God the Father empty handed, not even God the Son.

Jesus said, “Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’” John 20:17

Could the Open Door Harvest be a relatively discreet harvest?

Did Jesus camouflage its existence – making it difficult to distinguish from the Wheat Harvest – because of satan? Especially since the owner’s portion of the Barley Harvest seems to be His bride? Satan, although on the one hand he can’t wait until she’s gone, he’ll also desperately try to prevent as many saints as possible from being part of the bride, and therefore being kept from the hour of trial that’s going to come upon the whole world; He’s most jealous of the bridegroom.

2.23 Glory God Beyond

I don’t even know if the Open Door Harvest necessarily has to be a harpatzo (rapture). St. John got to the throne room of God without being raptured. He was taken, in the spirit, up to heaven through an ‘open door’ right after he wrote about the Church of Philadelphia. It sounds like a big clue. The bride of Christ must get to heaven somehow, because the gleanings (fifth seal martyrs) can’t be gathered to heaven before her. That’s Levitical law: No gleaning can be harvested until the owner’s portion of the harvest has been fulfilled. But, St. John never recorded a snatching up, only an open door.

Questions: What about the dead? Would all those who’ve ‘fallen asleep in Christ get resurrected as part of the bride? What other possibilities are there? In Rev 7: 10-14, St. John saw those who came out of the great tribulation standing before the throne of God. Does that only include all the people since the crucifixion who turned to Christ, but only after going through some kind great tribulation before they came to faith? If so, wouldn’t it necessarily mean that those who sincerely believed without requiring the tribulum, would be resurrected prior to that, with the bride through the Open Door Harvest?

The Three Harvests of Saints interpretation doesn’t work if the events of the seals are believed to continue on and on, extending deeply into or all the way through the second half of Daniel’s 70th Week.

2.24 Glory God Beyond

Despite the fact that extending the seals can at first appear to harmonize part of the Book of Revelation with part of the Olivet Discourse, it creates serious problems.

Context, the Sixth Seal: Revelation 6: 15-17

2.25 Glory God Beyond

Then the kings of the earth, the princes, the generals, the rich, the mighty, and everyone else, both slave and free, hid in caves and among the rocks of the mountains. They called to the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb!  For the great day of their wrath has come, and who can withstand it?”

Rev. 6:15-17

So, as you can see, in order to believe that the ‘sixth seal’ extends all the way through to the very end of the fulfillment of the wrath of God Almighty, one would have to believe that it makes sense for those hiding from God to shout “the great day of their wrath has come” after having just having already gone through years of God’s greatest Wrath!

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

Since there are otherwise excellent Bible expositors who embrace the extension of the contents the sixth seal all the way to the very end of the seventh year, I must point out that what you see above in the Rev. 7 passage is quite unlike the Daniel 12:2 resurrection https://ref.ly/Da12, which refers only to Daniel’s people, the Jews. In comparison, the sixth seal passage above refers explicitly to all nations, tribes, peoples and languages.

There were quite a few 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.

For a great study on God’s special reckoning of time – in and out of covenant:

Seals of the Scroll

God’s Judgment

Leading to His Wrath

is in its beginning stages.

The first seals of the scroll, which is the Deed to the Earth, seem to have already been broken by Jesus Christ from God’s Throne Room in Heaven…

. . . releasing the first two or three horsemen of the apocalypse.

The First Seal

When Jesus Christ breaks the first seal, He releases the first horseman. He rides a white horse carrying a bow with no arrow and wears a stephanos crown, a crown of achievement.

Presenting with a stephanos crown doesn’t necessarily mean he doesn’t have a royal crown. It could represent the way he chooses to present himself

14.0 See the Glory of God, Beyond the Veil

He’s the ‘little horn,’ future antichrist, as he’s emerging, before he displaces the three horns/kings of Daniel 7:8.

In this special case, the white horse is thought to represent ‘false peace’ but in the ancient world, a white horse represented conquering victory. Since this rider carries no arrow for his bow, he conquers by diplomacy and deceptive strategy, most likely presenting himself as a sheep, when he’s really a wolf. He’s the ultimate crafty user of deception with both subtle and blatant, seduction, bribery, propaganda, flattery, threats and so much more. Those techniques themselves are a type of sorcery, but this rider also represents much darker occult practices.

We know this because these are among the techniques used by his foreshadower, Antiochus IV Epiphanes, who’s called a ‘king of the North’ in a series of ‘kings of the North’ described in Daniel 11:21-24. He’s is the only character in the Bible specifically labeled as a despicable man. Although he was the king of the Seleucids, according to Daniel 11, he was not treated with honor.

And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honor of royalty: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries. Daniel 11:21

Who did Antiochus Epiphanes most likely foreshadow?

He may’ve foreshadowed the Antichrist and the final ‘King of the North’ of Daniel 11. They’re very similar in character. I speculate that the final ‘King of the North’ will likely be Gog-the-Antichrist’s right hand man. Gog, the chief prince of Magog, is one of the titles of the Antichrist, and Magog is described in Genesis as the dominant tribe of Japheth; As such, Magog often represents all of Japheth (the Caucasians).

A little background . . After the Tower of Babel, Magog spread the farthest and widest conquering other nations. Since the Antichrist: will be the chief ruler of the whole world, he must also take part in fulfilling all the end time prophesies centered on Jerusalem.

This will apparently be accomplished through the final ‘King of the North,’ who’ll be directly involved in the face off toward Jerusalem, pitching his tents between the two seas

And he will pitch the tents of his royal pavilion between the seas and the beautiful Holy Mountain; yet he will come to his end, and no one will help him. (Daniel 11:45)

It’s 49 miles from Gaza to Jerusalem and about 58.7 miles from Jabalia, Gaza to the Dead Sea.

Jared Kushner’s Project Sunrise plan for Gaza. Hmmm Can’t make this stuff up!

I don’t see how the King of the North character could also be the Antichrist, since the Antichrist is of Magog and no powerful enemy nation to the north, recorded in the Bible, has been Caucasian since the Balaam Balak episode. Russia’s not mentioned. For details see:

14.1 Deed, Glory God Beyond

The First Seal

Has Jesus Christ already broken the first seal?

The relatively quiet events under the first seal makes the particular year in which Jesus Christ broke it less obvious; The historical credentials bolstering the white horse rider’s station may have taken satan centuries to build up. God allowed it, but Jesus Christ has been ‘holding the reigns’ at just the right level, not releasing the first seal restrainer, until the perfect moment according to His perfect plan.

Sept. 17, 2023, may be the very day the Lamb of God broke the first seal of the scroll:

I’ve written in other posts about why I call that day the ‘Midnight Cry Portent,’ which happened 6 months before the start of the 70th week of Daniel, according to my calculations.

14.2 Deed, Glory God Beyond

The actual event was announced with trumpet blasts, as it happened immediately following the 2023 Yom Teruah/Feast of Trumpets. The event was the Sustained Development Goals 2030 Agenda. Unfortunately, this is its logo: The agenda was a powerful strengthening, for 7 more years, of a prior 7 year international agreement, which is why it garnered so much attention from watchers. It may have even awakened some other Christians from their slumber, because it perfectly matched the Daniel 9:27 prophesy, as it appears in most translations today, which are derived from the Masoretic text. So, it did serve the purpose of a major HEADS UP.

Why its logo is offensive . . .The sign of the first covenant God ever made with mankind and Earth is the rainbow.

Counting from that day brings a large swath of the end time Biblical calendar together, but it’s not the event that begins the first year of the final week of years of this age.

The first seal of the scroll of the Deed to the Earth, which God Almighty hands to His Lamb, releases a white horseman carrying a bow with no arrow who sets forth to conquer.

Genesis 9: 13-15

I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.

The expiration of God’s final 7 years for mankind’s rebellion that lands on March 24, 2030 ADT (The Torah calendar begins in the Spring) for the most part overlaps with the year in which the SDG 2030 Agenda expires.

Although it’s not exact, the Olympic logo is reminiscent of a rainbow, and its outer rings reminiscent of a bow.

The 7 rings represent the 7 continents coming together for one purpose. The rebellion of mankind at Babel was when all humanity came together for the purpose of reaching heaven without God.

14.4 Deed, Glory God Beyond

Most of humanity is clueless, swallowing up anything titillating. That’s how they get brainwashed to accept the enemy. The Antichrist, the first horseman of the apocalypse, will most likely eventually be possessed by satan or Abaddon, symbolized by the wings here.

14.5 Deed, Glory God Beyond

Still skeptical? This is the center peace for the Winter Olympics in Milan. They called it the cauldron.

The Second Seal

When Jesus Christ breaks the second seal, He releases the red horse, who’s rider is either an angel, like the horsemen in the Zechariah 1, or a spirit being represented symbolically. (Zechariah 6, describes 4 chariots being driven by many horses of the same colors or coats as those in Zech. 1, which are said to be ‘the four spirits of God’.)

Although the Holy Spirit in His completion, is seven fold, He can work in other divisions, as He’s able to work through the great multitude of saints on Earth. And, he can restrain in other ways, not just through the saints.

The rider of the red horse carries a sword and removes peace from Earth.

Since God’s prophesies are Jerusalem-centric I think the most relevant removal of peace on Earth was the Hamas brutal attack on Israel at the Nova Concert on Oct. 7, 2023, which killed over 1,200 people, torturing many of them, even children, in ways that are actually unspeakable, due to their supernatural hate. That part has been completely hidden from most of the public, including those who only watches mainstream news outlets. And it happened just 21 days after Yom Teruah 2023 (Feast of Trumpets 2023).

’21’

is one of the most highly symbolic numbers in the Bible, even regarding time.

’21’ is the number of God in His triune nature: 3 x 7 .

14.6 Deed, Glory God Beyond

21 days before the Hamas massacre, Oct. 2, 2024 the UN Pact for the Future was signed by 193 nations giving the UN unprecedented power. (See: mainly post 3, but also posts 5, 6 & 8.)

Since then, war and extreme war threats have been escalating world wide. Since Trump got into office, bombings and threats of nuclear bombings have become daily news.

Overview: Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse

The only person in the universe worthy to break the seals on the scroll of the Deed to the Earth is Jesus Christ the Lamb of God. As Jesus Christ breaks the first, second, and third seals, their effects pile up and compound when He breaks the fourth seal:

But before catastrophe reaches the point where it’d scourge His bride, He will remove her from Earth.

Jesus Christ holds the reigns.

I think removing His bride is the indirect way in which the Lamb of God will bring about the removal of the one nation on Earth who’s now holding back the Beast System. That of course, is the United States.

14.8 Deed, Glory God Beyond

A portion of the church will depart upward

the rest are already departing downward –

the two sides of the the apostasy:

One things clear: God’s restrainer has been primarily using the USA to hold back the Beast System.

Only the United States of America has been holding back the World Bank Digital Currency

But, it’s more complicated than that.

For you are fully aware that the Day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. While people are saying, “Peace and security,” destruction will come upon them suddenly, like labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape. But you, brothers, are not in the darkness so that this day should overtake you like a thief. (1 Thess. 2-4)

January 23 ’26, Important Update: The Board of Peace was ratified at Davos.

When Jesus Christ harvests His bride, the portion of the Holy Spirit who resides in her will be removed from the world, including from the USA. But, it’s been the United States of America, that has been the most truly Christ following nation in recent centuries, evidenced by the fact that, even with the currently falling away, but not completely ‘fallen’ state of Jesus Christ‘s church in America, it was the only powerful nation that stood for Israel.

Now, although the US may still bomb Iran, with the latest international force taking over Gaza, and requiring Israel to give back the part they’d conquered at great cost, which is still God’s land, I can’t say that America is really standing for Israel. In fact, since America’s leading the non Israeli control of that land: WOE to America. God will bring judgment.

Revelation’s Silence About America Isn’t an Accident—It’s a Prophetic Clue

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSfX40wDMqw&t=688s

I’m saying the Holy Spirit is the restrainer, and He partially works through the Church of Christ. But how His removal along with the bride-of-Christ will effect the world, will disproportionately be effected through how the USA responds. When the church is gone the Luciferian false light will take over.

I’ve long thought that God’s final week of years would begin before the actual ‘great tribulation’. And it appears to be so. I think it’s turning out that the final week-of-years began about 21 months before the ‘sudden destruction’ will begin. Then, only after the tribulation saints are safely in God’s throne room, the GREATEST tribulation, which is GOD’S WRATH will begin.

In other words, as I understand it, the great tribulation will begin immediately when Jesus Christ harvests His bride. The temple will goes up soon after the great tribulation begins, and probably about 14 months after that, the greatest tribulation will begin, seemingly no later than Oct. 1, 2027. It fits the timeline. See:

4. The Countdown.

https://alephtav.blog/2024/08/31/4-last7yrs/

14.9 Deed, Glory God Beyond

I’m not saying that the bride of Jesus Christ, who will be removed from the whole Earth, only comes from America!

I’m only saying that when Jesus Christ harvests His bride, the greatest effect it will have on the world, will be to put and end to the restraining power of the United States to hold back a major part of the Beast System. After the bride is removed, the USA will likely fall deeply into the Beast System. I think shocked and horrified, formerly nominal Christians, will make up the bulk of the 5th seal martyrs and hopefully, 6th seal tribulation saints will include many people who never thought in a million years that they’d ever become a follower of Jesus Christ. I used to be one of those. Glory to Jesus Christ the miracle worker, promise keeper, light in the darkness! Amen.

I think the Holy Spirit will continue to indwell new saints on Earth after Jesus Christ rescues His bride, including the 144,000, the Two Witnesses and all new believers, but His power will be expressed differently, without a unified nation or established church congregations to work through.

14.10 Deed, Glory God Beyond

The Third Seal

The fourth seal may not have yet been broken by the Lamb of God, but I think the 3rd seal has.

It isn’t written that when Jesus Christ breaks a seal, that the full force of it happens all at once. It probably means that things begin moving in the direction toward the prophesied outcome.

14.11 Deed, Glory God Beyond

As with the rider of the red horse, the rider of the black horse is also either an angel or a spirit represented by a symbolic entity.

The black horseman of the apocalypse will bring food shortages.

The Fourth Seal

Then the rider on the green, ashen (or dappled Septuagint) horse, will bring death to 1/4th of humanity by the sword (war), famine, plague and the wild beasts of the earth.

After that, many martyrs are seen under God Almighty’s throne in heaven crying out for justice, the 144,000 are given their protective seals and are assigned to remain on Earth, presumably to help the lost Jews, and the uncountable number of saints who come out of the great tribulation are seen standing in God’s throne room singing joyful songs of praise, wearing pristine white linen and waving palm branches.

14.12 Deed, Glory God Beyond

By this time, if the Antichrist has not yet been revealed, it’s certainly time.

Is the The Prince Who is to Come referred to by Daniel, the Antichrist/Beast?

Watchers have been keeping their eyes peeled for ‘the prince who is to come’ (Dan. 9:27). Sometimes I think he’s probably the Antichrist/Beast, but I have reservations. Why?

Many Bible teachers think, based on 2 Thess. 2:3, that we can’t know who the Antichrist/Beast is until he sits in the temple of God, declaring himself to be God. If so, then it’s unclear how the ‘prince who is to come’ could be the Antichrist/Beast.

14.13 Deed, Glory God Beyond

2 Thess. 2: 1-4 BLB

Now we implore you, brothers, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together unto Him, for you not quickly to be shaken in mind, nor to be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as if by us, as that the Day of the Lord is present. No one should deceive you in any way, because it is not until the apostasy shall have come first, and the man of lawlessness shall have been revealed—the son of destruction, the one opposing and exalting himself above every so-called god or object of worship—so as for him to sit down in the temple of God, setting forth that he himself is God.

But, the ‘prince who is to come’ must be prophetically active years before that in order to get the temple of God built. So maybe the phrase in 2-Thess.2:4 is merely describing the defining act that the Beast will do, without intending it to be interpreted to mean that absolutely no one will know who he is until the moment he sits in the temple.

Many Jews will align with ‘the prince’ because he’ll facilitate the the building of the 3rd temple and therefore the return of the Old Covenant; It does seem like this prince is the one Jesus warned us about, the one who the Jews will accept as their Messiah despite the fact that he comes in his own name. But, if they’re the same man, then awake Christians would have to know he’s the Antichrist before he sits in the temple!

Trump?

May believers think it’ll be Trump because of the Cyrus coin and how he loves to build things and to think of himself as king; and because he has lot of support in Israel and observes Hanukkah instead of Christmas in the White House. But, the white horseman of the apocalypse is shown under the first seal to have no arrow for his bow. Trump has already bombed Iran and he’s been pointing nukes toward Russia. He captured a Russian oil tanker, the Venezuelan president, and now he’s threatening Mexico and Columbia. So that’s a problem, unless we assume we’re past the white horse phase.

Feb. 7 ’26 Update: The USS Abraham Lincoln nuclear capable air craft carrier has moved near to Tehran. The talks in Oman have failed and news such as MSN headlines read: US Iran war: US nuclear warship to attack Iran any moment now? USS Abraham Lincoln moves near Tehran.

I don’t usually talk about predictive programming on this site; But since it was absolutely correct predicting the World Trade Center towers coming down on 9:11, and tomorrow’s Feb.8 ’26 is a programmed date, it seems to possible that there will be something that will happen akin to a second 9:11, in the sense that it will be a very bad day for America. So I’m providing the following explanatory link – it could be a trick, a decoy or it could be real again.

FOLLOW THE WHITE RABBIT – FINAL WARNING TO FEBRUARY 8, 2026 SUPER BOWL 60

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cfm9uX4jONo

14.14 Deed, Glory God Beyond

So, the USS Abraham Lincoln might sink on Feb. 8, 2026.

If so, that’ll likely lead to something nuclear and the bride of Christ will go up on one of those days; Then together, all these things, will trigger the New World Order to snap into place, including the actions of the ‘prince who is to come.’ He’ll step up to get the third temple of God built.

What if the true white horseman/false messiah is in the background, quietly and persistently continuing to carefully and discretely position his chess pieces, maybe even secretly manipulating Trump, or someone else to be the most visible person involved with the temple rebuilding. If so, what if the New Sanhedrin already knows who’s really behind it; someone who has ancestral Messianic qualifications, in their eyes. If so, it’d be easy to keep most of the world in the dark with AI generating false news images like they were doing with the false starvation campaign in Gaza.

Note: According to the Masoretic text, (Theodotian based) the prince-who-is-to-come will clearly confirm a covenant. By comparison, in the Old Greek text, the prince is certainly aligned with The Covenant- The Mosaic Covenant. It seems that there may be a document, but, his initial role isn’t as clear. Not even after reading 4 translations in the Old Greek. (Which is only available in a few Septuagints)

I’m not sure if the bride of Christ will be able to figure out who he is definitively as we will be gone soon. But, I wrote a whole post about it. There is one astonishing candidate:

14.The Scarlet Beast

https://alephtav.blog/2024/08/20/14-beast/

14.15 Deed, Glory God Beyond

Daniel 70th Week – The Final 7 Years.

The 70th-Week is a seven year period ending with a Jubilee-Sabbath year.

The 70th-Week is set apart from the prior 69 weeks by a 2,000 yr. ‘gap’ or ‘time out.’

The ‘gap’ was placed by God Almighty within the 69th and 70th weeks of the Daniel 9:24 prophesy.

Most Christians call the gap ‘The Church Age.’ It began the year after the Holy Spirit anointed Jesus Christ the Jewish Messiah, the Son of God, our eternal Lord, and is usually thought to conclude when the first year of Daniel’s 70th-Week begins.

I think that’s over simplified, and that the Church Age actually ends when Christ gathers His bride, probably about 21 months into the final 7 years, immediately before the ‘great tribulation’ begins (not God’s wrath).

14.16 Deed, Glory God Beyond

My take on the Church Age is that it ends sometime in the beginning of the 70th week of Daniel, just before the massive death toll begins.

Jesus strongly implied He’d tarry. So this a highly motivational time for Christ’s mature bride; She has work to do for those who are at risk of being left behind. And, perhaps it’s also a test of perseverance to see who’s really truly His bride. There’s a whole lot of evidence that the final week has begun and that we’re deep into the tarry now. And most importantly, the Bible never actually says that the Church is removed before Daniel’s 70th week! See post:

Watch for Jesus Christ

https://alephtav.blog/2024/09/04/a-watchjesus/

The purpose of the final week-of-years before the Millennial Kingdom of Jesus Christ begins:

Assigned by God, it’s for the bringing about of the consummation of His awesome plan!

Only the translations that were ultimately based on the Theodotion redaction of the Book of Daniel, such as the Masoretic Text (which has no underlying source document) make it appear definitive that the final seven years begin the exact moment a particular agreement is signed.

14.17 Deed, Glory God Beyond

That’s why it’s important to know what the Old Greek says:

Old Greek Daniel 9:27

Many will support a ruler/prince who will bring back to life (Mosaic Covenant) rebuilt with length and width according to end time standards after 7 x 70 appointed times (Shmita cycles) also with 62 clansmen (temple guards). Until at the right moment for the consummation of joint sin debt payment, war will be against it, attempting to desertify it. The covenant will be greatly prevailed upon after many weeks. By the time the ‘weeks’ will be taken away, sacrifice, libation and the great sacred thing, it (the Mosaic Covenant) will have reached its perfect/fulfillment. Abomination causing desolation will exist until a joint sin debt payment for public burdens is given – great desertification.

That’s my translation. For the Old Greek itself and my earlier attempts click:

https://alephtav.blog/daniel-9-full-og/

14.21 Deed, Glory God Beyond

The final 7 years don’t have to begin with the agreement . . .

To keep it short, we shouldn’t use the Masoretic Daniel 9:27 passage as the main foundation piece upon which to put together all the other pieces of our end times prophetic puzzle! The seven year countdown seems to have already begun according to my extensive research.

See post: ΑΩ. Aleph Tav Christ’s Sign!

https://alephtav.blog/2024/09/04/alephtav-sign/

Then see how that fits into:

4. The Countdown.

https://alephtav.blog/2024/09/04/alephtav-sign/

I think Jesus Christ breaks the first four seals only to allow forces of worldliness/lawlessness and their natural consequences to progress; What I mean is that they’re not the same as when God expresses His personal wrath onto Earth. So, as mentioned above, I call the last 3.5 years of Daniel’s 70th week the GREATEST tribulation. The first four seals seem to set the stage for the Beast system – the greatest deception/delusion and temptation of all time.

14.22 Deed, Glory God Beyond

Recap: The 5th seal reveals the martyrs; The sixth seal reveals the tribulation saints, then . . .

The Sixth Seal Concludes with the Introduction to God’s Wrath!

“Then the kings of the earth and the great ones and the generals and the rich and the powerful, and everyone, slave and free, hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains, calling to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who is seated on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb, for the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand?”

Revelation 6:15-17

14.23 Deed, Glory God Beyond

It sounds clear that that’s the announcement of the beginning of the first wave of God’s Wrath, which is synonymous with the Day of the Lord!

The sixth seal is also the time when Jesus Christ gathers His greatest harvest of souls, the Wheat Harvest, the main part of His Body.

14.24 Deed, Glory God Beyond

So, in what order do things happens after Jesus Christ breaks the sixth seal?

At the sixth seal, the One-Seated-on-the-Throne and the Lamb are seen up in the heavens by all the terrified unrepentant sinners on Earth as they go through a monumental earthquake combined with terrifying events in the cosmos. Then 144,000 servants of God, from 12 tribes of Jacob, are each given the ‘seal of the living God’ on their foreheads by angels, in order that they may remain unharmed on Earth for awhile longer. Finally an uncountable number of saints, that are said to have come out of the great tribulation, are seen by St. John, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, praising God in heaven!

WRATH – The 7th Seal Releases God’s Trumpet Judgements

14.25 Deed, Glory God Beyond

Seemingly one right after another- the first four trumpets are directed against vegetation, water, marine animals, and the lights in the cosmos. The fifth trumpet gets personal, the abyss is unlocked and opened – demonic locusts come out and attack everybody on earth, except the 144,000 sealed servants of God. Then, after the sixth trumpet 1/3 of humanity, whatever is left of it, is killed by a supernatural evil army led by three unnamed fallen angels that have been released from chains. Throughout the first six trumpets, the main Body of Christ was already gone, and nobody else repented!

One thing I’m leading into trying to show is why it seems extremely unlikely that the abomination of desolation setup event will occur before or at the Sixth Seal . . .

Then, it Gets Interesting:

The parenthetical section between Rev. chap. 9 & 11, before the final trumpet:

In the Book of Revelation, this is the first mention of Jerusalem and the Temple. It’s full of important characters including the Two Witnesses, the Beast coming up from the abyss, satan, the religious Jews and the gentiles.

14.26 Deed, Glory God Beyond

In St. John’s visit to God’s throne room, he was told about the Two Witnesses who will minister to the world with great Holy Spirit power to control forces on Earth. Then they’ll be murdered in the streets of Jerusalem by the Beast after the it emerges from the abyss, where presumably it becomes possessed by satan. The world celebrates. St. John saw the bodies of the Two Witnesses get resurrected and raptured to heaven 3.5 days after their deaths. A great earthquake immediately following that, collapses a tenth of Jerusalem. The people in Jerusalem who remain alive, become terrified and give Glory to the God of heaven! Many Jews flee Jerusalem to the safe place God prepared for them. They only could’ve know about the safe place from Jesus’ Olivet Discourse.

The elimination of the Two Witnesses and their Holy Spirit powers, must be what makes the temple of God accessible to the Beast.

Prior to that time, the Two Witnesses, may have been holding back attempts by the Antichrist/Beast to remove the regular sacrifices and libations at the temple so he could sit in the Holy of Holies proclaiming himself to be God, and to begin to set up his abomination of desolation.

But, this part of the timing of Daniel’s 70th week is tricky. I examine it at the bottom of:

4,The Countdown

https://alephtav.blog/2024/08/31/4-last7yrs/

14.27 Deed, Glory God Beyond

The Kingdom of the World has become the Kingdom of our Lord!

The Seventh Trumpet
Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he shall reign forever and ever.”  And the twenty-four elders who sit on their thrones before God fell on their faces and worshiped God,  saying,
“We give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty,
who is and who was,
for you have taken your great power
and begun to reign.
  The nations raged,
but your wrath came,
and the time for the dead to be judged,
and for rewarding your servants, the prophets and saints,
and those who fear your name,
both small and great,
and for destroying the destroyers of the earth.”

Rev. 11: 15-18

14.28 Deed, Glory God Beyond

Yay – Peals rumbles flashes a great earthquake and a great hailstorm! Hallelujah! Back on Earth, the False Prophet is now introduced. The Beast, is seen again, but this time, he’s seen to be raising up from the sea (representing that many peoples support him). And he’s enraged against the people of Jacob/Israel who’d just fled to the mountains where God has prepared a safe place for them, for 1,260 days.

Back to: Might it have been Jesus Christ’s intention to . . .

14.29 Deed, Glory God Beyond

frustrate the understanding of rapture timing using Matthew 24 and Mark 17?

The Mystery and Jesus’ Intention

God our Father’s precious Son, Jesus Christ our precious Lord and Savior seems to have kept some information about His coming to gather His bride and/or church and/or body unknown, at least until after His crucifixion.

Was it because He didn’t want to fully expose His plan to rescue His bride to jealous satan, at least until after He defeated death and won the decisive battle?

Don’t be too surprised by this, remember what Jesus intentionally did by speaking in parables!

This page explains it in detail:

https://alephtav.blog/parables/

And there are some good ideas about it here:

14.30 Deed, Glory God Beyond

Here’s an extremely condensed useful glimpse of this concept:

https://gracethrufaith.com/ask-a-bible-teacher/paul-and-the-rapture/

St. Paul played the key role in revealing ‘The Mystery of Christ’

St. Paul is writing his epistles while in chains in prison.

14.31 Deed, Glory God Beyond

St. Paul wrote in Ephesians 3:3 “that is, the mystery made known to me by revelation, as I have already written briefly. In reading this then, you’ll be able to understand my insight into the ‘mystery of Christ,’ which was not made known to people in other generations as it has now (after Christ’s ascension) having been revealed by the Spirit to God’s holy apostles and prophets. “

There are more powerful supporting verses in Ephesians, but . . .

I’m not in any rush to write those out, because the lead pastor, Pastor Matt at Bethel Grove Bible Church just covered this about St. Paul, very well. I can’t do better right now. Here’s his sermon: Life Against Darkness

https://bg.org/bgsermons/life-against-darkness-read/

If that doesn’t work, try You Tube:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ay7q0jf1qY

Recapping, clarifying and another detail:

14.32 Deed, Glory God Beyond

As mentioned above, the apostles were recorded as having been mistaken in assuming that second coming was going to happen in their lifetimes; None of them had received the Holy Spirit by the time that Jesus gave His Olivet Discourse. None of them were able to understand certain things, such as what Jesus meant when he said “Destroy this temple and I will rebuild it in three days.” Only Andrew, John, James and Peter were actually present at the Olivet discourse and so Matthew, Mark and Luke seem to have received it by word of mouth.

I’m putting forth the possibility that Jesus knew their limitations and knew that the information He spoke to them in the Olivet Discourse would overwhelm them, but that it would nevertheless be written down, and would provide to the world the overarching order of things. But to the Jews, it would also provide the necessary warnings that apply specifically to them.
