A special focus on the Tribulation Saints of the Sixth Seal and how it lead to understanding all the harvests.
The verses: https://ref.ly/Re7.9-17
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 . . .
2.0 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 very similar 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 Saints Glory God Beyond
Realizing through 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, the greatest tribulation starting at the 7th seal) 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 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 of 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.’
2.2 Saints Glory God Beyond
Preparing a ‘time capsule’ of sorts for the left behind:
I 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 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 fully 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 after the Antichrist sits in the holy place. See post:
7. Thessalonians Misstated
https://alephtav.blog/7-twisted/
I’ve whittled that 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.

How Does Revelation’s Sixth Seal Line up with the Olivet Discourse Harvest?
2.4 Saints Glory God Beyond
Although the cosmic signs seem to 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, although that’s not specifically mentioned in Matt. 24 and Mark 13; And likewise, the ‘redemption of the tribulation saints’ is not mentioned in Rev. 6, but is only mentioned in Rev. 7 after the sealing of the 144,000. Notice the difference between ‘the heavens receded like a scroll being rolled up’ and ‘heavenly bodies will be shaken.’ Only the former verse, Rev. 6:14, implies a displacement of Earth’s axis and/or orbit that will disrupt the positions of all the mountains and islands along with a likely speeding up of Earth’s spin.
Regarding the synoptic gospels: It’s useful to remember that there are three of them, but only one Olivet Discourse in which Jesus Christ revealed what is to come. It’s been recorded from three different vantage points. That’s not the same as three different prophesies lining up, although many modern scholars have derived an interesting hypothesis that each one is hinting at a different harvest: Matthew to the Jews, Mark to the tribulation saints in general and Luke to the bride of Christ, and that we should read them in reverse order. I’ve not studied that viewpoint thoroughly. The individual points they make sound good, yet I remain generally unconvinced so far. So here I’m just going to point out a few obvious things that apply to the final harvest, the harvest of the Jews.
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 that with the Olivet Discourse harvest when it said, . . . the Son of Man coming in the clouds with power and great glory.
2.5 Saints Glory God Beyond
The first thing that I overlooked:
The Revelation and the Olivet Discourse 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 that Rev. 6 verse to these verses from 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.” (After this, in verse 29, signs in the cosmos were mentioned.)
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.” (After the Jews see the A.O.D. and flee, signs in the cosmos are 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 signs in the cosmos mentioned. The tossing of the sea is also mentioned.)
2.6 Saints Glory God Beyond
There’s more proof below, see mark 2.15; But one more thing here first: No throne of God the Father appearing in the heavenlies to everybody on Earth was mentioned in any of the three Olivet Discourse accounts. 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 than Jesus Christ not mentioning that in His longest and most prophetic discourse?
The Sixth Seal and the Olivet Discourse harvests are simply not the same!
We shouldn’t be too alarmed; 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 the Passover week for at least three years in a row starting from 31 AD.
2.7 Saints Glory God Beyond
The rest of the explanations of why the Sixth Seal and Olivet Harvest signs in the cosmos are different are given below at marks: 2.15, 2.20, 2.26 and 2.28. 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 the ‘Bosom of Abraham’ in Hades when “He took captivity captive.” Also, my interpretation of the two grape harvests of Rev. 14, is that only the second one is the grapes of wrath.
2.8 Saints Glory God Beyond
The Three Harvest Model makes the most sense: The Sixth Seal Harvest, the Wheat Harvest of the Tribulation Saints, is by far the largest.
But each harvest has three parts . . .
. . . and since the Sixth Seal Wheat Harvest saints will follow the Fifth Seal Martyrs of the Barley Harvest, I’m writing about the 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 Saints 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. In that way, 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 harvested from that particular field was presented by a priest to God at His temple.
A great visual, thanks to brother Jaco of ‘God’s Roadmap to the End’
2.10 Saints 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 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 this seems to explain why all the gleanings of all the spirit/soul harvests are martyred.
2.11 Saints 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. And that that’d make it clear why God took them from Earth, long ago, before they died. And having been two of the most faithful men who ever lived, it seems fitting that they’d willingly return to Earth to complete their lives in the flesh anytime should God will them to, even becoming martyrs for Him. Everything is for God’s glory, but it’s done out of love for Him. Whoever the Two Witnesses are, they’ll have a most extraordinary 3.5 yr. mission! I think they’re here now witnessing already, with powerful ministries, but without having needed to use their Moses/Elijah-like Holy Spirit powers in an obvious way, such that the whole world has noticed.
I think the fact that they’re described as ‘the two lamp stands’ means they’ll be witnessing both to Jews and Christians.
In post 15.Awesome Testimonies, I’ve begun a short a list of who they might be, a candidate list among those who are here now already witnessing on a large scale. As soon as they begin regularly demonstrating their powers, the attention of the world will turn to them in a different way, especially toward the end of their 3.5 year ministry when they’ll be martyred, resurrected and raptured; I expect most people will see that on their devices; And that it will serve as the catalyst for the salvation of many souls, including the remnant of the Jews.

2.12 Saints 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 28-29 applies to the gleanings of a harvest. Whole fields were dedicated to God by the first fruits offering, but God commanded the corners, although still part of the field 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 tabernacle…
2.13 Saints Glory God Beyond
But after the Israelites worshipped the golden calf in the dessert of Sinai, God only accepted the sons of Levi in His tabernacle, since the Levites were the only tribe that refused to take part in idol worship.
But, the first born of all Israelite sons had already been dedicated to God; So God allowed them to be redeemed by their parents for a price, while still remaining holy to God; But that’s not the same as God taking them back.
A similar thing took place with firstborn animals. They could be redeemed from God for a price that was used to support the Old Covenant temple/tabernacle functions. But 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 . . .
. . . so, I’ve provided links below for a well documented course on 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, Jaco is speculating, especially the part where he thinks satan will break God’s harvest laws and thus will be required to give back to God those souls who took the mark-of-the-beast before it was legal for satan to give it out!) Woah! Although it’s true that satan’s not legally allowed to gather the gleanings of any harvest of souls until they’re legally given over to the world, which is after Jesus gathers His main harvests, no one will live in God Almighty’s Holy Perfect Kingdom, the New Jerusalem in the New Universe, who ‘s not written in the Book of Life; And as far as I know, since the New Covenant, that’s only those covered by the blood of Jesus Christ! I don’t know where people who are marked illegally by satan will end up. The Bible doesn’t say. I’m not going to speculate.

Jesus Christ will soon take His own portion of the Barley Harvest of Souls at the Open Door Harvest of Rev. 3:8. The gleanings/martyrs of the Barley Harvest will go up next.
PURIM Since early 2025 AD, watchers have begun observing the whole time interval ‘under the umbrella’ or ‘in the scope’ covered by the meaning of the Purim holiday, which points to the prophesy of the 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. Jesus is the Door – His bride watches https://alephtav.blog/1-hisbride/
2.15 Saints Glory God Beyond
Back to why the Rev. Sixth Seal Harvest can’t be the Olivet Discourse Harvest:
The great multitude of Tribulation Saints:
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 unlike the Barley and Wheat Harvests in that 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/watchjesus/
2.16 Saints 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 different crops 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.
I think understanding the timing how the Open Door Harvest juxtaposes with the Lamb of God receiving the scroll, requires flexibility from us in how we line things up. For example, if Christ’s tarry began with the Midnight Cry: https://alephtav.blog/3-the-cry/, about 6 months before what we could call ‘the beginning of the end of the church age’ on April 8-9 ’24 AD, we’d may naturally deduce that during His tarry, Jesus Christ would desire for His bride to work to ready the bridesmaids, martyrs and tribulation saints for their respective roles.
2.18 Glory God Beyond
Many believers have been taught that Christ’s bride must be physically present in God’s throne room, before God our Father presents the Lamb of God with the scroll of the Deed to Earth. That’s why so many Christians think the 24 elders are the bride. Huh? But, the 24 elders can not be the bride, as the 24 elders sang a song to praise the Lamb of God for redeeming ‘them’ with His blood. Who do the 24 elders mean by ‘them’? There are 7 very conspicuous blazing torches in God’s throne in front of His throne; And Jesus Christ stands in the center! Does anybody think God needs firelight in order to see? Revelation specifically states that there will be no need for the sun and the moon on the New Earth; Although they’ll still exist, they’ll be ‘put to shame’ by the most holy light of Father God and Jesus Christ themselves. So lets consider the 7 blazing lamp stands/torches in the throne room of God, which St. John saw before the Lamb of God took the scroll from the hand of His Father YHWH:
The song that the 24 ‘elders’ sang, referred to ‘them,’ as those who were redeemed by Christ’s blood. . . How are ‘they’ represented in God’s throne room?
The following is the Greek word for ‘they.’ Almost every translation gets it right but both King James versions got it wrong by translating ‘it’ as ‘us’ when it literally means ‘not 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.
Here’s one good study on it, that lists the ancient manuscripts by their exact reference numbers: Which translation for Revelation 5:10 is correct? https://hermeneutics.stackexchange.com/questions/35808/which-translation-for-revelation-510-is-correct
Well then; How is Christ’s bride represented in God’s throne room up until she arrives there herself in glorified bodies? It’s the lamp stands of course! They must exist in order to represent the condition of Christ’s bride, while she remains on Earth, as a meter in which the flames constantly indicate her state of readiness.
The Menorah Served Practically the Same Purpose in God’s Old Covenant Temple.
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. The earthly temple was a reflection of God’s heavenly temple – they’re linked and that means there was also a seven branched menorah in God’s throne room reflecting what the temple priests were doing on Earth.
While in God’s throne room, St. John saw the seven fold spirit as 7 blazing torches blazing before God’s throne (as applied to the New Covenant betrothal relationship). He wrote about it just a few verses after he finished writing of having seen Jesus walk among 7 lamp stands in his earthly vision – the vision he’d experienced immediately before he went up though the open door to God’s throne room. So, unless the bride of Christ isn’t going to have bodies, if she was already in God’s throne room when the 24 elders burst into song about Christ having redeemed ‘them’, wouldn’t St. John have actually seen them, standing there? St. John later, in Rev. 7: 9-17, sees the Tribulation Saints, an uncountable multitude, who he describes as being ‘bodily present’ in Gods throne room, singing songs of praise and waving palm branches, .
The very act of witnessing the blazes of the 7 lamp stands before God’s throne, as they simultaneously reached their radiant fullness, was the indicator that Christ’s bride’s has made herself ‘ready’ enough so that it’s time for the Jesus Christ the only Worthy One to begin breaking the seals of the scroll; (Compare to Rev. 2-3 when Jesus warned two of the churches that He will remove their lamp stands if they don’t repent.) And that’s what caused the 24 elders to burst into their unique song of praise!
2.19 Glory God Beyond
7 Full Blazes . . .
. . . mean that every one of the 7 church types will have at least some Holy Spirit anointed members, who will be actively burning forth the light of truth into the world for the Lord! Those are the saints who’ll be consuming Him, THE WORD, and shining it forth – being the light of the world. My hypothesis is: That’s what convinces Father God to hand the scroll to Jesus. I’m not saying that God wouldn’t have known about it without the lamp stands and the flames as the indicator. He’s all-knowing; I’m saying that it is also placed there for His pleasure and to demonstrate to the all intelligent inhabitants of the third heaven, the state of the Christ’s bride at a single glance. There can’t be a Kingdom with only a King and a planet. A King requires subjects; Jesus now has His first, closest and most passionate large group of most loyal subjects: His bride and bridesmaids; So now His Kingdom can actually begin to move forward! The scroll is the Deed to Earth, and it’s time for Him to begin breaking the seals to bring it forth! We can celebrate that now because it’s happening now! We’ll miss that opportunity if we think we must wait until we arrive in His throne room. (In my opinion)
Some of the 24 Elders May be From the Hebrews 11 Hall of Faith
The harvest chart, above at mark 2.7, 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: The 24 elders are the spirit-souls who Jesus Christ released from captivity in Hades some of whom may be among the heroes from the Hebrews 11 Hall of Faith, over a third of whom were not Israelites. It would make sense since the Barley Harvest is for all nations just like the Wheat Harvest.
2.20 Glory God Beyond
It’s only the Good Grape Harvest that’s mostly exclusive to the Jews.
Although they weren’t mentioned in Hebrews 11, I also wonder if any of the sons of Zadok, were among those in Abraham’s bosom who’ll be represented among the 24 elders.

2.21 Glory God Beyond
A few final things to consider
Appointed Times/Holy Convocations . . .
. . . are not merely rituals . . .
. . . they’re meetings with God Almighty.
‘First Fruits’, which is a Torah holy convocation, God’s appointed time of the barley harvest, is when every field owner must bring a sheaf or ‘omer’ with ripening barley ears to the temple. (A sheaf or omer 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. The priest will also sacrifice a flawless lamb as a burnt offering, along with a wheat flour-oil mixture and wine. The specific timing for ‘First Fruits’ is given in Leviticus 23, the day after the first Sabbath following Passover. Only after First Fruits could God’s people harvest their own portion:
2.22 Glory God Beyond
Agricultural Harvests are Symbolic of Harvests of Souls
At the appointed time of ‘First Fruits’ (of the barley harvest) in the year of Jesus Christ’s death and resurrection, Jesus brought a ‘sheaf of souls’ 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.
(after His resurrection) 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 Barley 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? Regarding Satan, although on the one hand he can’t wait until Christ’s bride is gone, he also desperately tries to prevent as many saints as possible from being part of her, and thus from being kept from the hour of trial that’s going to come upon the whole world; Satan’s most jealous of the bridegroom.
2.23 Glory God Beyond
I don’t even know for sure if the Open Door ‘Barley’ 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’ almost immediately after he wrote down what Jesus told him about the Church of Philadelphia. That sounds like a big clue. The bride of Christ must get to heaven before the gleanings (fifth seal martyrs) because the gleanings can’t be legally enter 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 described a snatching when he went up, only God’s voice sounding like a trumpet and an Open Door.
Final Questions: What about the dead? Is there even a formerly dead part of the bride? Or did God plan it so that those who were to become His bride would all be on Earth at the end when there’s a population of 8 billion so they won’t have to see death? But, if there are some of His bride (or bridesmaids) among the dead, then all those who’ve ‘fallen asleep as part of the bride of Christ will be resurrected; Admittedly that’d look just like the Pauline rapture scenario. Now, Enoch was raptured and so was Elijah; The Two Witnesses will be also and probably the 144,000; So it seems reasonable that Jesus Christ might rapture His bride and then rapture His tribulation saints about a year later.
On a related note: Regarding Rev. 7 10-14: St. John saw those who came out of the great tribulation standing before the throne of God, and one might wonder if that only includes all the people since the crucifixion who turned to Christ only after going through great tribulation in their lives before coming to faith, to qualify them as ‘wheat’, because only wheat requires the tribulum. If that’s the case, won’t it mean that those who more easily believed in the salvific power of the blood of Jesus Christ, repented and put their faith into action without ‘requiring the tribulum’, will be resurrected as the bride (and/or bridesmaids) through His Open Door?
2.24 Glory God Beyond
The Three Harvests of Saints interpretation would be broken if the events of the seals were expected to continue all the way to the end of Daniel’s 70th Week.
Extending the duration of the seals can at first appear to harmonize Revelation passages with the Olivet Discourse, but it creates bigger problems.
2.25 Glory God Beyond
Context, the Sixth Seal: Revelation 6: 15-17
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
The Super Rich’s Secret Doomsday Bunkers | WHILE THE REST OF US DIE
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TX1sRxCrduA
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 gone through the seven horrible trumpet judgments!
The sixth seal is also when four angels restrain the release of God’s Trumpet Judgements until 144,000 Jews, 12,000 from each tribe, are protectively sealed for their mission; An angel places the seal of the living God, Father and Son, on their foreheads.
2.26 Glory God Beyond
And why would they, suddenly need that protection if so many of God’s harmful judgements had already been released onto Earth, including the 5th trumpet – the stinging scorpion locusts who attack everybody except those who are sealed?
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.”
Revelation 7 9-14
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.
