A special focus on the Tribulation Saints of the Sixth Seal and how it eventually lead me to the understanding of all the harvests. This topic has been the most challenging to articulate.
The sixth seal rapture timing viewpoint seemed to be the most neglected viewpoint for believers looking to prove just one harvest event, as I used to. It was the obvious conclusion to come to when studying the New Testament in the most basic and direct way, taking it at face value in order not to miss whatever might be straight forward. I took that approach because I needed to extract myself from all the opinions that were opposing each other and surrounding me on every side. What came to really stand out to me was how so many Bible teachers were ignoring the uncountable multitude of saints that St Paul saw standing in God’s throne room at the end of the sixth seal.
9After these things I looked, and this is what I saw: a vast multitude which no one could count, [gathered] from every nation and from all the tribes and peoples and languages [of the earth], standing before the throne and before the Lamb (Christ), dressed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands; 10and in a loud voice they cried out, saying, “Salvation [belongs] to our God who is seated on the throne, and to the Lamb.” 11And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the [twenty-four] elders and the four living creatures; and they fell to their faces before the throne and worshiped God, 12saying, Amen! Blessing and glory and majesty and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might belong to our God forever and ever. Amen. 13Then one of the elders responded, saying to me, “These who are dressed in the long white robes—who are they, and from where did they come?” 14 I said to him, “My lord, you know the answer.” And he said to me, “These are the people who come out of the great tribulation, and they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb” [because of His atoning sacrifice].15For this reason, they are [standing] before the throne of God; and they serve Him [in worship] day and night in His temple; and He who sits on the throne will spread His tabernacle over them and shelter and protect them [with His presence]. 16They will hunger no longer, nor thirst anymore; nor will the sun beat down on them, nor any [scorching] heat; 17for the Lamb who is in the center of the throne will be their Shepherd, and He will guide them to springs of the waters of life; and God will wipe every tear from their eyes.”
With time and closer inspection, I discovered that the sixth seal harvest, although by far the largest harvest of the body of Christ, is not the only harvest. I saw that my sixth seal harvest perspective was flawed; And although its ‘flaw’ seemed to be remedied in part by leaning preferentially on St. Paul’s teachings, I actually had to embrace the full complexity of the New Testament, piece by piece, to resolve all the issues. Only then did I come to understand that the core of the disagreements among Pastors, Bible teachers, scholars, saints and scholars came from the fact that the vast majority of them hold to the conviction that there’s only one harvest of saints.
But before I knew all that, and while my initial studies were still clearly pointing me to the sixth seal as the harvest of all of God’s new covenant saints, I began making basic preparations in order to survive the great tribulation of the 4th seal. (not God’s wrath which is the greatest tribulation that starts at the 7th seal) My preps were partly spiritual and partly physical, such as learning how to fish and garden. I stocked up on coffee, water, medicine and extra resources to help others, especially Christians, to make it through what I deduced would be about a year long trial.

Then things changed – a personal note – preparing a ‘time capsule’ for the left behind:
After further study and prayer, I realized there’s also an earlier harvest for the bride of Christ, which most likely includes the bridesmaids. (See posts 1 and 18)I’ve been glad that some of the preps I’d made might become useful for those who’ll be left behind (hopefully to soon become tribulation saints); So I continued prepping somethings for them. But for myself, I came to focus on insuring that I am truly betrothed to Jesus Christ through obedience, abiding in Him and His word. Also of course, hearing His voice, bearing fruit for Him and doing the works He made for me, in order that I may be clothed with them for eternity.
Soon I discovered other watchers who were making kits for the left behind and I sort of joined them; I started to consider AlephTav.blog to be in part a service to the left behind, yet it’s also good to divert believers from getting left behind, for understanding the signs of the end-times and for resolving prophesies. I think we should all try to seek out individuals to whom the Lord might want us to leave other things, survival things; but truth is of the highest priority; “Man can not live by bread alone but on every word that comes out of the Mouth of God”(Matt. 4:4). Daniel 7:25 informs us that the Beast is going to try to eliminate Biblical calendrical knowledge by changing the ‘times and laws’ probably by rewriting Bibles. has already been adulterating online Bibles and a very wealthy Muslim family just purchased one of the largest Christian book companies. Woe to those who can’t tell the difference! The Bible warns about a ‘dessert of the WORD.’
So the early harvest for the bride and probably the bridesmaids that I came to focus on is: Jesus Christ’s Open Door for His Church of Philadelphia; I’ve been praying to be invited through His open door. He Himself is The DOOR .
IJesus 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.” John 10:9-11
Eventually this understanding completely took over for me. Although it wasn’t possible until I fully understood that the mistranslations of 2 Thessalonians 2 had deceived me into thinking that the bride/true church wouldn’t be redeemed until after the Antichrist sits in the holy place. See post:
But this post is not about the the harvest of Christ’s bride,
its about the harvest of the tribulation saints.

Only after that are the Tribulation Saints seen in Heaven
As the harvest of the trib. saints is separate from the harvest of the bride, (discussed abovebut proofs are on other posts), the harvest of the trib. saints is also separate from the harvest of the Jews .
When comparing parallel passages in the synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark and Luke) to the very similar words in the Book of Revelation at the conclusion of the sixth seal, it was once mind boggling to me that I’d rarely heard the possibility of ‘a sixth seal harvest’ mentioned by Bible teachers, preachers or commentators. The idea itself wasn’t even broached, not even for the purpose of pointing out how similar its verses seems to the ones in the Olivet Harvest see below! Perhaps they’re afraid of the topic. It can’t be that they understand so clearly that they’re separate harvests to the point where they feel ‘far above’ even being interested in the topic, or that they just didn’t want to confuse people by bringing up the similarities for concern that it might make believers conflate the two harvests; Those can’t be the case since I’m talking about ‘the majority’ who are of the absolute conviction that there is only one harvest! as mentioned above
How Exactly Do Revelation’s Sixth Seal Verses Line up with the Olivet Discourse?
Although the cosmic signs do seem to line up amazingly, there are actually 4 other very impressive earthquakes and many similar cosmic events in the sun, moon and stars, occurring in God’s final ~4.5 years before His Millennial Kingdom begins;Each time dramatic signs and events occur, they’ll frighten people. (But it’s worth noting that ‘frightening the people’ isn’t mentioned in Matt. 24 and Mark 13.) And since we’re teasing out every detail . . . The ‘redemption of the tribulation saints’ isn’t mentioned in Rev. 6. The Tribulation Saints are only seen as having arrived safely in God’s throne room, immediately after the sealing of the 144,000 (Rev. 7); If the Olivet Discourse were the same harvest, wouldn’t the 144,000 pure, virgin, obedient Israelite brothers of Christ sealed to remain on Earth safely have been mentioned by Jesus? Those are the 12,000 from each of the 12 tribes of Jacob/Israel!Think about it; The Olivet Discourse was given by Jesus Christ the Jewish Messiah while sitting on the Mount of Olives with His select Jewish apostles, while they were looking down upon Jerusalem and the 2nd temple; Jesus indirectly gave them instruction for their future Jewish brethren, exact instructions about how they must flee Jerusalem when they see the end of time abomination of desolation being setup on the wing of the 3rd temple!
Here’s another divergence between the two harvests. It’s between the descriptive phrases ‘the heavens receded like a scroll being rolled up’ Rev. 6 vs ‘heavenly bodies will be shaken The Gospels. Only the Rev. 6:14 verse implies an actual displacement of Earth’s axis and/or orbit that will move every mountain and island from its place.
Although there are three ‘synoptic’ gospels, there was only one Olivet Discourse in which Jesus Christ revealed what’s to come for the Jews at the end of this age.
But the synoptic gospels have been recorded from three different vantage points and that’s not the same as three different witnesses from three separate prophesies. Now many modern Bible expositors hold the belief that Matthew Mark and Luke each hint at a different harvest: Matthew to the Jews, Mark to the tribulation saints and Luke to the bride of Christ. And although the individual points they make to defend their hypotheses sound intriguing, I’m unconvinced. Therefore, on this post, I’m sticking with the unmistakable things that apply only to the final harvest, the grape harvest of the Jews.
The Revelation 6: 12-17 verses dazzled me . . .
. . . so much at first, that they kind of blinded me when the frightened people say, “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?” Since I was a bit dazzled, I fully equated that with the Olivet Discourse harvest which says, . . . “when you seethe Son of Man coming in the clouds with power and great glory.” But . . .
2.5 Saints, Glory God Beyond
Here’s the first thing I overlooked:
Revelation’s Sixth Seal and the Olivet Discourse can’t be referring to the same harvest because the Olivet Discourse clearly describes the Son of Man coming to harvest the Jews after the greatEST tribulation on Earth, (although God will provide a 1260 refuge for them after they flee) while Rev. 6:17 only says “the great day of their wrath has arrived,”which was announced right after the one who sits on the throne became visible to the people on Earth – showing that His wrath was just about to begin! And then very soon after that brief introduction to wrath, the tribulation saints were seen in heaven having escaped it.
These are the 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.”(Only 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.” (Only 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 and with the ‘tossing of the sea’ added.)
2.6 Saints, Glory God Beyond
There’s even more proof below, that the Sixth Seal and the Olivet Discourse Harvests are different, but first one more proof here:
No throne of God the Father appearing in the heavenlies to everybody on Earth was mentioned the Olivet Discourse accounts. So what could be more impressive than God Almighty’s throne appearing to all humanity from the heavens above? And what could be more unlikely than Jesus Christ not mentioning His Fathers’ very first appearance to all the people on Earth, in His longest and most detailed prophetic discourse?
2.7 Saints, Glory God Beyond
The Sixth Seal and the Olivet Discourse harvests are clearly not the same!
The rest of the explanations of why the Sixth Seal and Olivet Harvest are different are given below at marks: 2.15, 2.20, 2.26 and 2.28.
If scribes or Bible translators or their institutions held to the belief that the Olivet and the Sixth Seal harvests were the same, they would’ve been more likely use words to translated with thatmade the verses seem to be a bit more closely aligned than theyotherwise would have.
I tried to cover the 5th seal martyrs and martyrs in general here,
But it turned out to be too lengthy to keep and too important to ignore, so it’s here:
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
Back to: Why the Rev. Sixth Seal Harvest isn’t 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
So Important!: The Olivet Harvest is unlike the Barley Harvest (His bride) and Wheat Harvest (tribulation saints) in that it’s not for every nation, tribe, people and language. The Olivet Harvest is the harvest that’s overwhelmingly for the Jews. There’s a complete proof study here . . .
Now finishing up this post with something related but a bit different . . .
Increased Biblical knowledge leads us to let go of a few cherished simpler explanations.
Biblical knowledge has been increasing dramatically, and through this new learning process many of us, including myself along with my family in Christ, locally and online in watcher communities, have come to fully understand from scripture, that there are three different crops of saints, each with first fruits, an owners portion and gleanings.
2.10 Saints, Glory God Beyond
This viewpoint fits best when the Book of Revelation is understood to bewell ordered and chronological.
I see the Book of Revelation as an exceptionally orderly book in the sense that, when zooming out, it’s chronological, despite the fact that it contains one huge parenthetical section with symbolism that reaches back in time to the three ascensions of the body of Christ: First Christ’s own resurrected body ascended; Next, about 1,996 years later, His bride (and possibly His bridesmaids) ascended; And not long after that, His tribulation saints ascended. All those make up ‘the body of Christ’ who’ll rule Earth by Christ’ side with an iron rod.I used the past tense since the parenthetical Revelation 12 sign passages are a figurative summary only shown to St Paul after the Lord had already shown him many chronological future end times events, and that Christ’s bride and tribulation had already been taken off the earth before the parenthetical section. Together all true Christians are ‘the body of Christ and share in the unimaginably generous inheritance that God our Father has given His Son Jesus Christ. So why does the Revelation 12 sign start by showing the Body of Christ coming out of the woman ‘Hebrew-Israel’? It’s because that sets the stage for us to focus on the final crop of saints, the main part of the grape harvest of the Jews! The woman ‘Hebrew-Israel’ then immediately flees satan, who’s represented by the dragon in Revelation 12. Satan first tried to destroy Christ and then the body of Christ but was unsuccessful because both His body was caught up to heaven. Then Satan turns against the woman who runs to a safe place in the wilderness that God has prepared for her.
8/30/26 Update: 9 years, representing 9 months of gestation have passed since the very famous 2017 Revelation 12 sign appeared in the heavens. We believe that water broke on August 29 when the blood moon was in Aquarius. (“came by water and blood.” John 1 5-6) It’s time for Christ’s bride to be lifted up, likely on Sept. 11 ’26; I think His tribulation saints will follow within a year.
In addition to the great parentheses of Revelation 12, The Book of Revelation also uses a few simple temporal overlaps:
An 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.
2.11 Saints, Glory God Beyond
Also backward overlaps arecommon to storytelling: To tell a complex story people must consistently ‘go back’ and ‘pick up threads’ that were left off since it’s impossible to forward relate everything at the same time.
Diverging to the harvest of Christ’s bride and how it sets off the great tribulation and the harvest of His Tribulation Saints.
Understanding the timing: How the Open Door Harvest aligns with the climactic moment when the Lamb of God, the only worthy one in the universe to receive the scroll of the Deed to Earth from the hand of Holy Father Almighty, requires flexibility on our part. For example, if Christ’s tarry began before and continued on for awhile after what I call the Midnight Cry Event, which was the day He broke the first seal of the scroll, about 6 months before ‘the beginning of the end of the church age’ on April 9 ’24 ADsee post 3, his bride might wonder what she should be doing now, while persevering through the final wait. I believe the bridesmaids are persevering too, those who have enough oil. Wouldn’t Jesus Christ want His bride to be working in order to edify and ready the bridesmaids, martyrs and tribulation saints for their respective roles? After all the role of the wife has always been to be the beloved helpmate of her husband. If the betrothal is modeled on ancient Jewish tradition, there’s a waiting period after the betrothal while the groom builds her a house; But I think there’s also another waiting period for the bride of Christ after the midnight cry. Symbolically that’s the time in His parable of the 10 virgins when the 5 unwise virgins went out buy more oil for their lamps, which were going out. Now His betrothed saints are not the very same as the wise virgins, but its all about entry to His marriage supper event in heaven. Since all 10 virgins fell asleep while waiting for the midnight cry, the thing that differentiated the bride might be that she never fell asleep (slipped back into living for the world). His bride’s been watching carefully for awhile now, and it seems that she’s being shown the glory of the meanings of the wait itself as well as of the stepping stones that have been marking the times of the wait, and why it’s magnificent, glorifying Jesus Christ even more!
2.12 Saints, 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? 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 the word ‘them’?
There are 7 very conspicuous blazing torches in God’s throne room in front of His throne, which were noted by St John in the 5th verse after the evaluation Jesus Christ gave regarding to the 7th ‘lamp stand’ the final church! After that, St. John saw the open door to heaven; In the next verse he saw a throne (in the center of which the Lamb who was slain will soon appear); In the third verse he described someone awesome on the throne and in the forth verse he saw the 24 elders surrounding the one on the throne. Then he saw the blazing torches or lamp stands. After that he saw a sea of glass followed by the four living creatures in the center around the throne. Next Father God holds out a sealed scroll with His right hand, but nobody in the universe is worthy to break it’s seals. St John cries and cries until one of the elders says:
Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals. Rev. 5:5
Then the Lamb who was slain appears at the center of the throne surrounded by the 4 creatures and 24 elders worshiping Him. He went and took the scroll from the right hand of him who sat on the throne!
About the blazing lamp stands in front of God’s throne, 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 just two verses after he saw God sitting on the throne. . .
2.13 Saints, Glory God Beyond
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.
How is Christ’s bride represented in God’s throne room until she arrives there in her glorified bodies? It’s the lamp stands of course! They’re presence represents the condition of Christ’s bride, while she remains on Earth, like a measuring device in which the flames constantly indicate her role in being the light of the earth, which is only possible when she allows the the Holy Spirit to work through her.
2.14 Saints, Glory God Beyond
The precedent was the Menorah. It Served Practically the Same Purpose in God’s Old Covenant Temple.
This is recorded in the 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 Old Covenant temple priests were doing on Earth.
While in God’s throne room, St. John saw the seven fold spirit represented by 7 blazing torches before God’s throne (also reflecting the New Covenant betrothal). He wrote about it just verses after he’d seen Jesus walk among 7 lamp stands in his vision on the Island of Patmos. Then immediately he went up though the ‘Open Door’ to God’s Throne Room. St. John would have seen the bride of Christ standing there if she were actually present when the 24 elders burst into their famous song about Christ having redeemed ‘them’ (His bride and possibly His bridesmaids) with His blood.. After all, St. John later saw the uncountable number of Tribulation Saints in bodily form, standing in Gods throne room, wearing long white robes, singing songs of praise and waving palm branches in Rev. 7: 9-17.
2.15 Saints, Glory God Beyond
The very act of witnessing the blazes of the 7 lamp stands before God’s throne, as they simultaneously reached their radiant fullness must have been the indicator that Christ’s bride’s has made herself ready meaning it’s time for Jesus Christ, the Worthy One, to begin breaking the seals of the scroll; That’s what caused the 24 elders to burst into their most special song of praise!
7 Full Blazes . . .
. . . must mean that every one of the 7 church types will have Holy Spirit anointed members who are not grieving the Holy Spirit, even at the end of this age; They’ll be alive and actively burning forth the light of truth into this, dark world for the Lord! Those are the saints who’ll be consuming Him, THE WORD, and shining it forth. I think 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 the lamp stands/torches are also placed there for His pleasure and to show what’s important to Him. The lamp stands/torches also serve to continuously 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; When Jesus has His first, closest and most passionate large group of tested loyal subjects, His bride and bridesmaids, His Kingdom is ready to move forward! The scroll is the Deed to Earth, and the time for Him to begin breaking the seals will have arrived and so He will bring back the foundation (eden)! We can celebrate that now because it’s happening right now! We will miss that opportunity if we believe we must wait until we arrive in God’s throne room. (In my opinion)
The only person in the universe worthy to break the seals of 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, only peaking when He breaks the fourth seal:
But just before catastrophe reaches the point where it’d scourge His bride, He will redeem her from Earth.
When I first started this post, the first seal of the scroll, of the Deed to the Earth, seemed to have already been broken by Jesus Christ from God’s Throne Room in Heaven…
. . . but since Sept. 23 ’25 three or perhaps even all four horsemen seem to have begun their marches!
Under the First Seal
When Jesus Christ breaks the first seal, the first horseman, the one who rides a white horse carrying a bow with no arrow and wearing a crown of achievement is released.
Presenting with a ‘stephanos’ crown doesn’t exclude the first horseman from being a king.
Even King Jesus wore one once (Rev. 14).
This Horseman of the Apocalypse is the ‘little horn’ the future Antichrist, before he displaces the three horns/kings of Daniel 7:8.
The White Horseman is thought to represent ‘false peace,’ but in the ancient world, a rider on a white horse represented conquering victory. This rider does conquer, but in the beginning, since he carries no arrow for his bow, he conquers without war or physical violence but instead by diplomacy and deceptive strategy. He’ll most likely present himself as sheep-like, when he’s really a wolf. He’s the Beast so he must be the ultimate crafty user of deception using both subtle and blatant seduction, bribery, propaganda, flattery, threats and much, more. Those techniques themselves are a type of sorcery, but this rider will also represent darker occult practices since he’s the one Satan will possess:(That’s either Satan himself but more likely it’s the principality behind Apollo/Apollon, the son of Zeus(Satan), named as Abbadon/Apollyon in Rev. 9:11, who Satan will call his son. He mimics the the true Triune God in every way possible, the God the Father and Son relationship included. There also seems to be some possibly that Ashur the principality behind the historical national god of Syria plays a role).
The Foreshadower
The Beast was foreshadowed by the 3rd king of the north who historically was Antiochus IV Epiphanes. He’s described in Dan. 11:21-35; An abomination of desolation was mentioned in verse 31. But a later ‘end-times‘ abomination of desolation was written about in Daniel 9:27;That’s the one that will be in the image of the Beast. For the Old Greek translations, which give the full timeline, See post 4.The Countdown.
14.1 The Deed, Glory to God
Is Daniel’s 4th king the Beast?
Dan. 11: 36-45 (Lexham Septuagint 1st ed.Old Greek ), is about a 4th king. That passage really begins at the second half of what’s been labeled as ‘verse 35’ . . . (The Koine Greek, it has no periods or verse numbers) . . . The second half of the verse mentions ‘the appointed time of consummation’ which is the very same wording used in Dan. 9:27 for the utter end of God’s entire plan for this age; It also says: “there is yet an appointed season”, which is an indicator that the angel Gabriel was changing the focus to the future; And that leads directly into ‘the king’ . That’s the 4th king, the one that reads like he’s the Beast: Dan. 11:36, “He will be exalted above every god, and against the God of gods. He will utter excessive arrogance, and he will prosper along his way until the appointed wrath is accomplished for him, for a conclusion is coming” . Dan. 11:37, “… in every way he will be exalted, and powerful nations will be under him…” Dan. 11:39, “He will act concerning cities, and for a powerful stronghold.” Dan. 39, “He will increase his influence and it will gain dominion over him greatly and the land he will divide up as a gift”. (I think ‘the land’ there is Israel.)
14.2 The Deed, Glory to God
It’s certainly taking place in the end-times and he’s very Beast-like . . .
But, the verse that immediately follows states that the archangel Michael will stand up then, and it says it's the day of greatest affliction; Then it says:
“And in that day all the people, whoever may be found inscribed in the book, will be lifted up. 2 And many of those sleeping in the breath of the earth will arise, some into everlasting life but some unto reproach, and some to dispersion and everlasting disgrace. 3 And those who are prudent will shine like the luminaries of heaven, and those who learn and master my words, like the stars of heaven unto the era of the ages.” My understanding is that ‘the day of greatest affliction’ is not just a 24 hour day; It’s the Time of Jacob’s Trouble that’s being described, which lasts 3.5 years, the same duration of time that God will allow the Beast his free reign. I don’t I think that all the saints of Daniel’s people will rise on the same day. This is all about the grape harvest; The first fruits will go up first, being led by those who belong to the first fruits who’d been sleeping in the earth. Soon after that, at the early part of the Time of Jacob’s Trouble, a large number of Jews will flee to the safe place that God has prepared for them in the mountains and will remain there for 1,260 days before being lifted up as the main part of the grape harvest, of which Christ is the owner.
14.3 The Deed, Glory to God
Taking all the above into consideration, and realizing that it could also, as it did with the harvests, take 3.5 years for the 4th king to do all the things mentioned in Dan. 11: 36-45, in addition to all the things that weren’t mentioned or were vague; That’s especially if he is truly the beast; For example there are 1,290 days from the ceasing of sacrifices, from the time in which the setup of the ultimate abomination of desolation will begin, until it’s near completion when Jesus will destroy it. That’s a very important part, but it’s only mentioned in Daniel after bringing up the archangel Michael; And that’s 11 verses after the verse that tells of the demise of the King of the North! But, that could simply be backtracking because over all, these passages seem to strongly support that the 4th king is the Beast;We know that Jesus will first destroy the Beast and then 30 days later He’ll destroy the abomination of desolation.
Nevertheless, on post 13.The Scarlet Beast https://alephtav.blog/13-beast/ I explored the possibility that the fourth king might be the ‘right hand man’ of the Beast, and if so, who he’d be. This seems possible because there will be 7 horns/kings working with the Beast in the beginning of his reign. It’s worth considering because with the uncertainties I pointed out above, it’s important to look at the other possibilities, and also because Dan. 11 says the 4th king died ‘between the two seas,’ not at Megiddo, which is where we expect the Armageddon armies of the final war to gather and is where we get the word Armageddon; Perhaps the 4th king of the North will lead an arm of the Armageddon army that will have spread South from Megiddo.
14.4 The Deed, Glory to God
Regardless of the Kings of Daniel 11: Gog, the chief prince of Magog, is a title of the Antichrist. . .
In the history of the Biblical conquerings of Israel, whenever an enemy was said to be ‘from the north’, it usually meant that the armies approached Israel or Judah from the North, not necessarily that the lands they came from were literally situated geographically northward of Israel or Judah.
.
That’s partly because the Upper Great Rift Valley (from southern Africa through the Red Sea, the Gulf of Aqaba to the plains of Syria) prevented armies from reaching them from the East. But the North was also the area they feared and ‘North’ came to be used for many dangerous or unknown military enemies; As the Hebrew word translated as ‘north’ also means dark, hidden and above. Keep this in mind when we try to discern the place from which Gog the Beast hails.
A little background . . After the Tower of Babel, the Magog tribe spread the farthest and widest on Earth, conquering other nations. Although the Antichrist may come from any far corner of the earth, he will nevertheless have a central role in fulfilling the major end time prophesies that are centered on Jerusalem.
14.5 The Deed, Glory to God
The very last thing Dan. 11 says about the 4th king is:
“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)
The area ‘between the two seas’ is most likely Gaza.
From Gaza to Jerusalem is 49 miles and it’s about 58.7 miles from Jabalia, Gaza to the Dead Sea. Megiddo is where most scholars believe the final end time battle will take place. It’s not ‘between the two seas.’ It’s possible that the battle may not take place, at Megiddo but instead all around Jerusalem, between the Mediterranean and the Dead seas or that the armies will fill the entire region from Megiddo to Gaza. The more I work on this interpretation, the more likely I think it is that the 4th king of Daniel 11 is the Antichrist.
14.6 The Deed, Glory to God
Jared Kushner’s Project Sunrise plan for Gaza. Hmmm! Can’t make this stuff up! I don’t think Kushner’s the top candidate to be the king of the North, but many people do. He is certainly going to make Gaza more accessible to the king of the North, whether that someone is the Beast, his right hand man or the one who paves his way! Even if his construction doesn’t get very far, it’ll give access privileges to many of Israel’s enemies under the guise of peace and security. Recep Tayyip Erdogan is one of those; He’s signed on to the Board of Peace.
What Jared Kushner Just Did May Stir The WRATH of God! (The Gaza Prophecy)
The relatively quiet events under the first seal makes the year in which Jesus Christ breaks 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 restraining seal, until the perfect moment according to His perfect plan.
Sept. 17, 2023 may’ve been the day the Precious Lamb of God broke the first seal:
I’ve written in other posts about why I call that day the ‘Midnight Cry Event,’https://alephtav.blog/3-the-cry/ which happened 6 months prior to the start of the 70th week of Daniel, which began after the Aleph Tav solar eclipse sign across America concluded, at sunset. That’s according to my calculations of Biblical prophesy. See post 4.The Countdownlinked below.
It’s very significant that the event was announced with trumpet blasts, as it happened immediately following the 2023 Yom Teruah/Feast of Trumpets. The event culminated with the ratifying of the Sustained Development Goals 2030 Agenda.
Every nation signed it, but the one whose really behind it didn’t need to. see link below, 13. The Scarlet Beast
14.8 The Deed, Glory to God
Unfortunately, this is its logo: The agenda was a powerful strengthening, for 7 more years, of a prior 7 year United Nations agreement. That’s why it garnered a lot of attention from watchers; Unfortunately, most of their videos have since been shunned by search engines. But, thank God, many can still be accessed from a list I made: See bottom of post 3. Midnight Cry Event. This event seems to have awakened some sleeping Christians from their slumber, because it seemed to be a perfectly match the Daniel 9:27 ‘agreement with many.’ That’s at least as it appears in most translations today, which are derived from the ‘Masoretic text’. It certainly did serve the purpose as major HEADS UP for those with ears to hear.
Why is its logo is offensive? . . . see post 8
Although counting from that day brings a large swath of the end time Biblical calendar together, as mentioned above, again, it’s still not the event that began the final week of years of this current age.
The first seal of the scroll of the Deed to the Earth, which God Almighty hands to His Precious Lamb, releases the white horseman carrying a bow with no arrow who sets forth to conquer.
14.10 The Deed, Glory to God
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, which if we count it to the first day of the final year, lands on March 24, 2030 AD (Torah calendar begins in Spring), overlaps with the very year that the SDG 2030 Agenda expires.
Although it’s not exact, the Olympic logo is reminiscent of a rainbow, and its outer rings are reminiscent of a bow.
14.11 The Deed, Glory to God
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 solitary purpose of reaching heaven without God.
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, Abaddon or Assur (the Assyrian principality) who are fallen angels, symbolized by the wings here.
Still skeptical? The inverted pentagram sphere, representing Earth being embraced by spiritual darkness, was the center peace for the Winter Olympics in Milan. They called it the cauldron.
14.12 The Deed, Glory to God
Point in case: The spirit of Antichrist is rising and it’s being openly celebrated.
The Second Seal -War Horse Rider
When Jesus Christ breaks the second seal, He releases the red horse, who’s rider is either an angel, like the horsemen in Zechariah 1, or a spirit of God being represented symbolically.(Zech. 6, describes 4 chariots being driven by many horses of the same colors or coats as those in Rev. 6. And they’re said to be ‘the four spirits of God’.)
The Rider of the Red Horse Carries a Sword and Removes Peace from Earth.
Since God’s prophesies are ultimately Jerusalem-centric we might consider the red horse when we examine the Hamas brutal attack on Israel that took place 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 watch mainstream news outlets. And it happened just 21 days after Yom Teruah/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.
14.13 The Deed, Glory to God
The Hamas massacre happened 21 days after Yom Teruah/Feast of Trumpets; But this is making it look like Jesus may have broken the second seal on Sept. 17 ’23, not the first seal. Which is it? Well, that wasn’t the first attack on Israel, since it became a nation again in 1948; And the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse are ultimately global, so let’s think it through.
On the Oct. 2, ’24 Yom Teruah/Feast of Trumpets, the UN Pact for the Future was signed by 193 nations, this time giving unprecedented power to the UN. (See posts 3, 5, 6 & 8.) It changed the UN from a cooperative entity to a governing entity and the atmosphere of the world changed completely.
Since then, extreme war threats have been escalating. Since Trump got into office on Jan. 20 ’25, after winning the election on Nov, 5 ’24, which was one month after Yom Teruah (Trumpets). Bombings and threats of nuclear bombings have become daily news. This is the bigger shift of ‘the removal of peace from Earth’. It can be argued that Israel has become even more central now on the world stage, as the screw has taken its first turn; The Russia Ukraine war gets less attention because the situation with oil has drastically increased world tensions; There are many nuclear threats; The nuclear code channels are full of traffic. All that’s why I think October 2 ’24 is more likely to have been the day Jesus Christ broke the second seal.
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 has been, in some ways, holding back the Beast System. That of course, is the United States.

God’s restraining power has been working through the USA to hold back the Beast System.
Only the United States of America has been holding back the World Bank Digital Currency
I’m not saying the motives were good, just that it happened. Perhaps Trump merely wants to set up the Beast’s monetary system himself, so that it’ll stem from the US, and America wasn’t ready then due to its former immaturity.
Trump Just Delayed the Beast System-But He Can’t Stop What’s Coming
The Luciferians, (most of the elite), seem to have been preparing someone that people will accept as alternative to ‘the Christ,’ who’ll actually be the spirit of Apollo, the son of Satan, in bodily form. Their modus operandi is to consistently do some very good things publicly, to gain trust, while they’re simultaneously and relentlessly pursuing their ultimate evil goal; On the other hand, they also flaunt some of their evil works, expecting people to overlook and/or tolerate them on account of their good works; They train people to habitually overlook their evil works and to make excuses for them. In that way they get away with greater and greater evils as people become acclimated. That’s how they lure the public into actually facilitating them in their satanic nefarious plan, although the ultimate depths of that plan is always carefully kept hidden. The Luciferians have long been infiltrating ‘Christianity’ in America and other parts of the world. Back to the main point: Who are they preparing as the antichrist? Well … D. Trump has installed images of Apollo all over the ceilings and the walls inside the White House. Just saying! But, I don’t think its him because he doesn’t have an empire. King Charles III also keeps images of Apollo and He’s the King of the Commonwealth Realms and he has converted to Islam, but refuses to bow. Who will sit in Almighty Gods temple declaring himself to be God? (see post 13.The Scarlet Beast)
14.17 The Deed, Glory to God
Update archive from late 2025: The US is likely to bomb Iran again. The latest international force is set to take over Gaza, with Trump requiring Israel to give back the part they’d conquered at great cost to themselves and which is still God’s land. So, I can’t say that America is really standing for Israel. There’s another agenda going on there. In fact, since America’s leading the non-Israeli control of that land: WOE to America. God will bring judgment.
January 23 ’26: Very Important Update:The Board of Peace was ratified at Davos.
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)
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 USA that’s been the most truly Christ following nation over the past 2.5 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 still the only powerful nation that stood strong for Israel.
Revelation’s Silence About America Isn’t an Accident—It’s a Prophetic Clue
The Holy Spirit works to restrain spiritual darkness on Earth largely, but not exclusively, through Christ’s body/church. (In my opinion)
How the part of the person of the Holy Spirit who resides in Christ’s true church will effect the world when that important part of Him is removed from Earth at the rapture of the true saints, will be disproportionately according to how one country responds to that loss. That country is the USA. When the true part of ‘the church’ is gone from the world, the Luciferian ‘false light’ will rapidly take over America.
About dispensations:
Although I strongly acknowledge that God Almighty has been using ‘dispensations’ ever since the Garden of Eden, contrary to the popular ‘simplified model’, I hold that God’s final set apart ‘week of years’, which was particularly designated by God for the Jews to come to Christ, will actually begin before the great tribulation. In other words, although the ‘final dispensation’ of this age is the 70th week of Daniel, the great and greatEST tribulations will only be loosed when Jesus Christ breaks the 4th and 6th seals of the scroll. I’m simply saying that the ride of the fourth horseman itself IS the great tribulation (not to be confused with the greatEST tribulation/God’s wrath that follows). So, after the precious Lamb of God breaks the fourth seal, but before the ‘hour of trial’ that will come upon the whole Earth, King Jesus, the bridegroom, will harvest His bride !
Then, I expect the great tribulation to last less than a year if it’s mostly nuclear. 1/4 of humanity will perish. (Rev. 6:8)
14.19 The Deed, Glory to God
The Fifth & Sixth Seals
After Jesus Christ breaks the fifth seal, (Rev. 6:9) St. John saw the souls of the martyrs of God’s ‘barley harvest’ of saints. They’d been killed during the great tribulation, and their spirit-souls were crying out for justice from under God Almighty’s alter; Then God responds immediately, as evidenced by Jesus Christ breaking the 6th seal: Then the 144,000 are quickly sealed followed by the tribulation saints being safely redeemed! St. Paul saw them in God’s throne room singing songs of praise to God with great joy, while waving fresh palm branches in the air. After that GOD’S WRATHbegins; There’s an ominous marker – a ‘half hour of silence’ in heaven, which is the prelude to God’s 7 Trumpet Wrath-Judgments!
Regarding the ‘hour of terrible trial’ that Jesus Christ will harvest His bride to protect her from, it could begin soon after, immediately after or even simultaneous with her being harvested: Time is showing us that all this will occur roughly around two and a half years into Daniel’s 70th week; I think the 3rd temple will go up very rapidly, soon after that, possibly even while the great tribulation is occurring and therefore no one’s able to stop it from happening. According to my calculations, the greatest tribulation, which is God’s wrath, will begin on or near Oct. 1-3 ’27. It fits the timeline. The delay of Christ’s gathering of His bride is independent of and doesn’t alter the timeline of the events of God’s final ‘week of years’, which has primarily been assigned to the Jews as their last chance to get it right.See Daniel 9:24 and . . .
After all the saints of God’s Barley Harvest have been redeemed from Earth, so also will be the main part of the restrainer, the Holy Spirit who indwells the saints will be gone.
Hold on to your heart dear brethren! I never implied that the bride of Jesus Christ, who’ll be removed from the entire Earth, only comes from America!
Christ’s bride is from every nation:
from the four corners of Earth
from Tokyo, Taipei, Shanghai, Beijing and Hong Kong to LA (California) Seattle, (Washington) and Honolulu (Hawaii); from South Africa, Ushuaiato (Argentina,) and Hobart (Tasmania) to Murmansk (Russia,) Longyearbyen (Norway,) Uummannaq (Greenland) and Arctic Bay (Canada);
AND EVERY PLACE IN BETWEEN!
I was merely saying that when Jesus Christ harvests His bride, that the greatest effect it will have on the world situation will be that: The US will no longer be able to hold back the Beast System. After the true church of God, in the name of Jesus Christ, is removed, the USA will fall deeply into the Beast System and may even lead it.
Perhaps shocked and horrified, back-slidden or formerly nominal Christians, will make up a very large proportion of the Tribulation Saints; and the rest? Hopefully many people who never thought they’d in a million years become a follower of Jesus Christ will be among them. I used to be one of those. All Glory to Jesus Christ the miracle worker, promise keeper, light in the darkness! Amen! Holy Holy Holy is the Lord!
What about the Gleanings of God’s Barley Harvest? Who are they? I think those martyrs will be martyred virtually instantaneously, after the great tribulation starts, because without much, if any of God’s restraining power remaining on Earth, after the final great part of Holy Spirit departs with the bride of Christ, they’ll be immediately targeted by hosts of dark entities who’ll kill them if they resist. Since the martyrs are part of the Barley Harvest of saints, could they also be part of the bride or the bridesmaids of Christ? Who exactly are they?
In Rev. 2 the church of Smyrna was not reprimanded for anything at all; yet Jesus told them they were going to be the martyr church (a type). He gave them some helpful instructions but didn’t explain why they were chosen for that role. Perhaps He wanted to make the point that martyrs were not inferior. Here’s a clue; One of the reasons Jesus Christ promised to keep His Door Open to the Church of Philadelphia, the church that most Bereans today believe is His bride, was that she has ‘little strength’. My interpretation of this is that members of the Church of Philadelphia are the ones who have already been living their lives sacrificially for Him, not perfectly, but seriously; And that they will have already worn themselves out doing so persistently and under difficult conditions.
I think Jesus will be using those martyrs, the gleanings of God’s Barley Harvest of souls, to clearly demonstrate the strength of their faith to the world just as it’s entering it’s darkest time; That alone will shine the light of truth, perhaps enough to catalyze the Tribulation Saints who’ve just also witnessed the rapture of Christ’s truly ready church, to ‘wash their robes’ and thus be saved, but not until right after the 144,000 sons of Jacob are sealed by angels, because they’re first fruits of God’s Wheat Harvest of saints.
There’ve been many real historical foreshadowings of this ultimate episode of martyrdom, but there’s a huge silver lining that only applies to the end-time martyrs; For them it will be a very quick escape from the horrors only beginning to gear up upon Earth.
Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer. I tell you, the devil will put some of you in prison to test you, and you will suffer persecution for ten days. Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you life as your victor’s crown. (Rev. 2:10 – to the church of Smyrna)
14.21 The Deed, Glory to God
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.
14.22 The Deed, Glory to God
The Third Seal: The black horse food shortage rider
It’s nowhere written that when Jesus Christ breaks a seal, that the full force of it must happen instantly and simultaneously everywhere in the world, so it probably means that things have been loosed so they may begin to move in the direction of the prophesied outcome. See the quote below; It says ‘in various places.’ We need to be able to recognize when the third seal has been broken even if we ourselves can still afford food.
Matthew 24:7 “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.“
⛔LIVE ALERT⛔IMMEDIATE MILITARY OPERATION⛔STRAIGHT PASSAGE ENFORCEMENT⛔BIGGEST CHANGE IN HISTORY⛔
This has a lot to do with the nitrogen based fertilizer
It’s not been written that the seals must be broken at a rate of ‘one per year.’ The Sept. 23 ’25 Feast of Trumpets, as observed by the Orthodox Jews, was a very interesting day. For the first time since Israel became a nation again, 100 times trumpets were blown by them at the wailing wall! It was recorded live; I watched it. . .
And I was wondering why nothing extra special seemed to be happening, until I found out what was happening at the UN! That was the day Donald Trump snatched the unnamed UN Gaza Peace Plan right out of the hands of the whole world, and basically handed it Jared Kushner! They call it Trump’s peace plan for Gaza or The American Resolution. It was based on the 20 point plan (which later became 21 points).
1 Corinthians 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. (Just to show how the KJV uses the word ‘trump’ instead of trumpet.)
Did Jesus Christ break a seal on that day?
June 25 oil reserves update: Got Word: Cushing Empty by Next Monday – June 22
The question is, did Jesus Christ break another seal on Sept. 23 ’25 AD, and if so which one.
Maybe. But before analyzing that, a warning: We need to be careful not to fall into a pattern of over-simplification. I say this because, sadly, it’s been happening so regularly in the churches that it’s become a major obstacle to truth. Why does this happens so much? It’s partly because true saints want people to be saved, so they try and try; But after having had so many repeated experiences of people fleeing when the Bible gets more than overtly ‘simplistic’, saints often over ‘bend over backwards’ to oversimplify it, removing the meat of it. That’s because in out hearts, we feel the urgency; Out of love, we want to keep those we witness to from the eternal lake of fire. But multitudes of new believers become stunted and never get past the ‘milk’ into the ‘meat’ of what it means to follow Jesus Christ. As witnesses with brief contact time, we may not have any other option. The greater problem is that, in America, when new ‘milk’ believers join a congregation, very, very often, pastors just continue on and on with the milk; They consistently avoid following up with the ‘hard truths.’ Now, I’m not saying that every believer needs to be an absolute Bible expert, just that they should at least hear enough in their own church to realize that there’s a whole lot that they don’t know! Simply realizing that they have a lot to learn should keep believers humble and may even support an interest in going deeper. But, instead, America has produced an overconfident generations of believers, who’ve embraced ‘easy believism’ which doesn’t cost them anything! Perhaps milk is better than nothing. God knows. But since there’s such a huge multitude of ‘easy believers,’ they’ve become like an army of offense toward anybody speaks truth beyond their slim comfort zones. So, in that way satan uses them to suppress the truth and oppress those who speak it. I’m concerned for them because since they don’t understand the temporary ‘real cost’ of following Christ, they’re not equipped for what’s coming. We try to warn these vacuous believers and are usually met with harsh resistance; Most of those will become apostate when conditions get tough, and they will betray other Christians.
14.25 The Deed, Glory to God
Then they will deliver you over to be persecuted and killed, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name. At that time many (in the church) will fall sway and will betray one another. (Matt. 24 9-10)
So back to the timing pattern, but without the popular oversimplifications:
The most interesting metaphor Jesus Christ gave us about the timing pattern at the end of this age is: In Matthew 24:8 He describes it as ‘like birth pangs‘; The signs come closer together and stronger as the birth draws near.
Therefore, I think it’d be highly negligent not to ask ourselves if Jesus Christ may’ve broken the 3rd seal, six months instead of a year after the 2nd seal, and therefore the 4th seal instead of the 3rd seal on Sept. 23 ’25 AD. That timing also seems to make the most sense since the USS Abraham Lincoln was ordered on Jan. 8 ’26 to set course for its new mission at head of the Persian Gulf, which seems like the indicator of a big escalation.
14.26 The Deed, Glory to God
Rational:
If Jesus Christ uses a ‘one seal per year’ pattern to break the first 4 seals, there won’t be any time to get the ball rolling before the fourth horseman destroys 1/4th of humanity, because in that case the fourth horseman probably wouldn’t be released until Sept. 11-12 ’26 which is 9/11, or Oct. 11-12 if 2026 ADT was delayed by a prior leap year. Either way, that brings thoughts of nuclear bombs to mind, immediate or soon, because the scenario supports it. I can see how breaking the first four seals at a one per year rate could work, but as mentioned above, it doesn’t mean everything happens everywhere on that day. The best estimate for the time that the Beast’s free reign will begin, according to my understanding, is Oct. 1 of 2027 (no later), because there has to be enough time for him to take control; He’s waiting to rise out of the chaos of the great tribulation.
On which Yom Teruah (Trumpets) did Jesus Christ brake the fourth seal?
Although very interesting, it makes little difference personally to the bride of Christ whether Jesus Christ broke the 4th seal in 2025 or in 2026; It was already July 6 ’26 when first edited this section and 9/11 was only 67 days away. If the birth pangs hadn’t increased in frequency, then they will. Between 9/11 ’26 and Oct. 1 ’27 the Barley Harvest bride of Christ, the Wheat Harvest tribulation saints must rise to heaven, according to my calculations.(There is leeway in my calculation since I counted the most relevant prophesy ‘to the day’ which is very elegant; But it’s actually only necessary to reconcile it to the year.) The two witnesses seems to be the puzzle piece that breaks or warps the timelines of many watchers. (See the bottom of post 4 where the passage and textual variations are looked at closely.)
14.27 The Deed, Glory to God
That’s just enough time for the New World Order to snap into place. After the main nuclear events have been spent, the Antichrist will rise as the world’s solution. Israel will accept him as their Messiah and let down their defenses. Most likely on Oct. 1-2 ’27 AD, the false messiah will get empowered by satan in the abyss from which He’ll emerge with the power to kill the two witnesses, who’ve must already been on Earth for 2.5 yrs. as I write this, assuming no manuscript or translation errors have been passed down to us. There are some good candidates, see post 15. They’ll be killed in Jerusalem soon after the 3rd temple goes up, immediately after the Beast/False Messiah comes out of the abyss, perhaps young again, with a new body made from a clone of himself, yet possessed by a terrible darkness.
Update July 7: Regarding Digital ID: Trump just confirmed that it’s going to be set up in America.
What he’s not telling us: The plan is to integrate it with , which can control the mind, even without implants by using the new G6 and G7 microwave technology. It’s the setup for the Beast system to snap into place very quickly once the Church has been redeemed by the Savior King Jesus Christ. The world will attribute our disappearance to the aliens. They’ll be given ‘credit.’ But the aliens are not benign extraterrestrials who want to help us; They’re fallen angels who want to destroy humanity. They’re deceivers who say they desire to help humanity ‘evolve’. And they’ll say that they had to remove the Christians because Christians would’ve prevented the necessary evolution from happening. The remaining leadership and media will blame Christ’s saints for every horrible thing that happens. Most people will be fooled, and the brainwashed people will integrate themselves more and more into tech and DNA alteration, losing their freewill; It will all be presented in such a seductive way as to appear intriguing to most people in the beginning; The whole truth will be hidden from the public; And whatever temporary apparently ‘good effects’ there will be for some will corrupt and degrade. Daniel 2:23, “And just as you saw the iron mixed with baked clay, so the people will be a mixture and will not remain united, any more than iron mixes with clay.” The decimated hybrids will become murderous and zombie-like . People will also take the mark of the beast rendering them no longer human. DNA corruption of humanity was the ultimate goal of the activities of the fallen angels before the flood , because of the protoevangelicum; All Jesus’ promises are good for real humans only.
14.28 The Deed, Glory to God
Yom Teruah, Isn’t the Only Time YHWH Prescribed Regular Trumpet Blowing in Torah.
What about the trumpet sounding pattern? Trumpets are also blown at other times of the year, most significantly on the first day of the first month on God’s calendar, which is of very special importance; That’s the true Rosh Hashanah (God’s head of the year is at Spring). It’s also the anniversary of the day God gave the calendar to Moses! Note: Immediately after the Great America Eclipse concluded, the true Rosh Hashanah began (Nisan 1 ’24 ADT.) and the 70th week of Daniel began! It fell 6 months between Jesus’ breaking of the 1st and the 2nd seals. This tell me that Jesus is using ‘half times.’ That’s a term God uses to delineate His ‘seasons’ of holy convocations, two per year. See post 4. The Countdown mark 4.30-4.31 & 4.33:https://alephtav.blog/4-last7yrs/
If God ‘s uses ‘half times’ for the breaking of the seals, then it’s likely that Jesus Christ broke the third seal releasing the Black Horseman, on ‘God’s Rosh Hashanah’ in the Spring of 2025, allowing the ball to start rolling toward ‘food shortages and famine’.
The Rider of the Black Horse of the 3rd seal, seems to be an angel or spirit bringing food shortages, along with famine, to various places.
Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. (Matt. 24:7 NIV)

14.30 The Deed, Glory to God
It’s difficult to describe all that, but:
The video below, although it’s about the destruction of Babylon the Great and not directly about the ‘great tribulation’, it captures part of its spirit, with a dramatic, artistic, musical rendition of large scale destruction, followed by another artistic work, that’s on the brighter side, a short musical drama of the Lion of Judah rescuing the sheep fold by bringing her to the ark. I guess I should mention that I haven’t been fully convinced that ‘Babylon the Great’ is New York City; Yet, I appreciated the video, because I think America will be a huge target for destruction during the great tribulation for other reasons.
Immediately after that Jesus Christ breaks the Fifth Seal. St. John was shown many martyrs under God Almighty’s throne in heaven. They were crying out for justice; Right after that, Jesus Christ broke the Sixth Seal; St. John saw the 144,000, from the 12 tribes of Israel receiving protective seals on their foreheads for their assignment to remain on Earth, (most likely on a mission to witness to the lost Jews). And after that, he saw the uncountable number of saints who’d ‘come out of’ the great tribulation who were standing and joyously singing songs of praise in God Almighty’s throne room, wearing pristine white linen and waving palm branches.
It’s my opinion that Jesus Christ breaks the first four seals, not as His wrath but as a sort of judgment allowing forces of worldliness/lawlessness and their own consequences to proceed. They are the first part of His end of the age judgements on the world, not the unloading of His long accumulated personal wrath. That’s whyI only call the last 3.5 years of Daniel’s 70th week the greatEST tribulation. That’s the 42 months in which the Beast has become satanically possessed and is given free reign by God Almighty. It’s the Time of Jacob’s Trouble/The Day of the Lord. In other words, the first four seals are broken in order to set the stage for the Beast system and to bring an uncountable number of people to their knees so they may call on the name of Jesus Christ to receive salvation.
14.31 The Deed, Glory to God
After the 5th seal reveals the martyrs and the sixth seal reveals the 144,000 and the tribulation saints, then . . .
The Sixth Seal Concludes with the Introduction to God’s Wrath!
14.32 The Deed, Glory to God
“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
14.33 The Deed, Glory to God
Billionaires are buying islands and building secret bunkers, but why?
It’s quite clear that that’s the announcement of the beginning of God’s Wrath, which is synonymous with the Day of the Lord/Time of Jacob’s Trouble!
The sixth seal is also the time when Jesus Christ gathers His greatest harvest of souls at the Wheat Harvest. They’re the ‘main part’ of the body of Christ.
14.34 The Deed, Glory to God
In what order do things happen 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 high heavens by all the terrified unrepentant sinners on Earth as they experience a monumental earthquake combined with terrifying events in the cosmos. Then there’s a pause while 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 a little while 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 of God and before the Lamb, praising God with great, holy joy in heaven!
WRATH – The 7th Seal Releases God’s 7 Trumpet Judgements
14.35 The Deed, Glory to God
This post was for the 7 Seals, but they lead right into the 7 Trumpets so here’s a quick synopsis of those:
Seemingly one right after another- the first four trumpets of the seven trumpets are directed against vegetation, water, marine animals, and the lights in the cosmos. But the fifth trumpet gets personal: The abyss is unlocked and opened. Demonic locusts with tails like scorpions come out and attack everyone 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 their longtime bondage at the Euphrates river.
Throughout the first six trumpets, the main Body of Christ was already gone, and nobody else on Earth repented!
Then, it Gets the Most Interesting!
There’s a large parenthetical section between Rev. 9 & 11, before the 7th and final trumpet judgment:
This is the first mention of Jerusalem and the Temple in the Book of Revelation, and it’s full of important characters including the two-witnesses, the Beast when he comes up from the abyss, satan, the religious Jews and the gentiles.
14.36 The Deed, Glory to God
St. John’s transported, in the spirit, to the future. He measures the 3rd temple and he’s told about the two-witnesses, that they’ll minister to the world and that when they’re threatened, that with great Holy Spirit power; They’ll have the ability to cause very harsh conditions to occur on Earth, similar to what Moses did with the plagues in Egypt, when necessary, order to to finish delivering their prophesies and their message. When they complete their message, God will allow them to be murdered in the streets of Jerusalem by the Beast, after it emerges from the abyss; The world will celebrate, not allowing them to be buried. After 3.5 days, God will resurrect the bodies of the Two Witnesses and rapture them to heaven; Immediately after that, a great earthquake will follow. A tenth of Jerusalem collapses killing 7,000 and causing the people in Jerusalem to become terrified and give Glory to the true God of heaven who created everything and saved humanity – whoever was willing to be saved – through His Son Jesus Christ! In that way God began to put to shame all the myths that people have given themselves over to, such as the Apollo myths, which satan uses maximally, in his attempt to seduce people away from their eternal salvation with a false alternative hero son-of-god savior story, one in which no sacrifice was required; It’s just another grandiose superhero story relying on vanity, aesthetics and entertainment. (There is a very real principality behind the spirit of this deception, and it is by far the most likely one who will literally possess the Antichrist.)
Then many Jews will flee Jerusalem to the safe place God prepared for them. The only ones who’ll know about the safe place will be those who’ve read Jesus’ Olivet Discourse, so they must inform the rest very quickly, probably by contact lists on their devices. (The abomination of desolation setup must begin right after the earthquake.)
After the Two Witnesses are resurrected and raptured, the temple of God will become accessible to the Beast.
Prior to that, the Two Witnesses, must’ve necessarily held back all the attempts by the Antichrist/Beast to remove the regular sacrifices and libations in the temple: The Beast will want to remove them in order to make way for himself to sit in the Holy of Holies proclaiming himself to be God, and 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:
The Kingdom of the World has become the Kingdom of our Lord!
14.38 The Deed, Glory to God
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
14.38 The Deed, Glory to God
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.
If by then, the Antichrist hasn’t been revealed, it’s ripely time!
Is the ‘The Prince Who is to Come’, prophesied in Daniel 9:27 the Antichrist/Beast?
Watchers have been keeping their eyes peeled for ‘the prince who is to come.’ I think he might be the Antichrist/Beast, but I’m not sure. I have some reservations.
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.
14.39 Addendum Deed, Glory to God
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. (2 Thess. 2: 1-4 BLB)
The ‘prince who is to come’ must be prophetically active years before the Antichrist sits in the temple, because the prince supports the building of the temple of God. So perhaps the key phrase, 2 Thess. 2, verse 4, is merely describing the ‘defining act’ that the Beast will perform, without intending to imply that absolutely no one will know who the man of perdition (antichrist) is, until the very moment he sits in the temple.
Many Jews will align with ‘the prince who is to come’ because he’ll facilitate the building of the 3rd temple and the return of the Old Covenant; Therefore, 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 will not come in God’s name but in his ‘own name.’ If they’re the same man, then any wide awake Christians who are still on Earth will realize he’s the Antichrist before he sits in the temple!
14.40 Addendum Deed, Glory God
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 had a lot of support in Israel and even 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. When I wrote this paragraph, Trump had already bombed Iran, pointed nukes toward Russia, captured a Russian oil tanker as well as the Venezuelan president, and now he’s threatening Mexico and Columbia. So that seems to be a problem, unless we assume we we’re already past the ‘white horse phase.’
Feb. 7 ’26 Archived Update: The USS Abraham Lincoln nuclear capable air craft carrier has moved near to Tehran. The talks in Oman and further talks 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.
Predictive Programming
I don’t usually talk about predictive programming on this site; But, it was absolutely correct in predicting that the World Trade Center Towers would come down on 911;
There’s been a Feb. 8 ’26 programmed date, and it seems that on that day a portal that’s connected to a second 911, may have opened. Therefore, I’m providing the following explanatory link; It could be a trick or decoy, or it could be real again.
FOLLOW THE WHITE RABBIT – FINAL WARNING TO FEBRUARY 8, 2026 SUPER BOWL 60
More on the above predictive programming, of which I Pet Goat II is a core part:
The I Pet Goat II, predictive programming, written in 2012, seems to show the sinking of the USS Abraham Lincoln in what appears to be the Straight of Hormuz, and it was implying that Superbowl Feb. 8, ’26 had something to do with it. The pivotal scene showed a portal in the heavens, which was open with something coming out of it; Most decoders missed that part. (Super Bowl half time shows have long been the largest venue for occult rituals in the USA.) On Feb. 8 ’26, Lady Gaga, queen of the American occult, was there. She was interacting with ‘Bad Bunny’ who was dressed in white. The white rabbit is a huge occult symbol used in predictive programming and the Luciferian Masonic agenda. False Christians like Candice Owens refers to it openly in conjunction with the Pi pit. Turning Point is Masonic. In the scene that I’ve been describing, there’s what appears to be a nuclear mushroom cloud in the background of woman in mourning. She was covered completely in black and was floating on a shell-like raft in the sea while holding a dead boy with a ruined right eye. Her body language had Feb. 8 and 911 boldly coded into it. Her tears made a III on her forehead (WW3?) She held up a purple bottle of potion with a hidden ‘XX’ floating inside. That’s the simplest Free Masonic signature; It seems to show who’s behind it all. As her raft floats, the open top of her potion bottle comes into perfectly alignment with the pedestal of the mushroom explosion, at timestamp 3:14. 3:14 is pi. Pi is central to the entire Masonic, satanic cult which has most of the elite of the world in it’s grip. Pi, as used upside down by satan, representing the downward vortex – the rabbit hole of the abyss. see post 24.Mark of the Beast NO Chance of Salvation https://alephtav.blog/24-markbeast/ at mark 24.2-3.
14.42 Addendum Deed, Glory God
Systematic destruction has been orchestrated in advance. Most presidents and other world leaders are puppets.The following is the core ideology of 33 degree Free Masons: They have the satanic delusion that if they destroy the world something good will come out of the ashes, which is the same delusion as that of the Hindu Shiva cult and other ‘destroyer idol’ cults such as the Zeus/Apollo cult, which is very active among the elite. The Luciferians have been carefully planning the near total destruction of Earth, which is why they’ve all built under ground bunkers for themselves. But they won’t escape. (Rev. 6)
It’ll probably be associated with a nuclear event and Jesus Christ’s raising up of His bride. The New World Order will snap into place, including the actions of the ‘prince who is to come’ who will catalyze the third temple of God to be built and the Antichrist to fully reveal himself (They’re could be the same person).
14.43 Addendum Deed, Glory God
Keep in mind that the true white horseman/false messiah may be in the background now, quietly and persistently, carefully and discretely positioning his chess pieces, manipulating Trump, or someone else to be the most visible person involved with many things including the temple rebuilding. If so, what if the New Sanhedrin already knows who he is; someone who has ancestral Messianic qualifications, in their eyes. It’s easy to keep most of the world in the dark with generating false news images like they were doing with the false starvation campaign in Gaza and the generated videos of Netanyahu when he went missing in the third week of March.
Note: According to the corrupted Masoretic text (Theodotian based) which most Bibles are based upon, 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 Mosaic Covenant. There may be a document to sign, but details of his initial role aren’t given, not even after reading 4 translations in the Old Greek. (Which is only available in very few Septuagints translated to English.)
I’m not sure if even the true church of Christ will be able to figure out who ‘the prince who is to come’ is definitively. We’ll be gone soon. But, I wrote a major post about it. There is one astonishing candidate:
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 of the Daniel 9:24 prophesy by a 2,000 yr. ‘gap’ or ‘time out’that was placed by God Almighty within the 69th and 70th weeks of the Daniel 9:24 prophesy.Most Christians call that 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 before the first year of Daniel’s 70th-Week begins.I think that’s over simplified, and that the Church Age will end when Christ gathers His bride, up to 30 lunar months into the final 7 years, immediately before the ‘great tribulation’ begins, but that ‘grace’ will extend until Jesus Christ gathers His grape harvest of Jews at the very end of the 7 years.
The Church Age ends sometime in the first half of the 70th week of Daniel, just before the massive death toll begins.
Jesus strongly implied He’d tarry. So the first half of the final 7 years is 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 her perseverance. There’s a whole lot of evidence that the final week has begun and that we’re deep into His tarry. And most importantly, and I can’t reiterate it enough, the Bible never, never, never says that the Church will be removed before Daniel’s 70th week! See post:
The main purpose of the final week-of-years before the Millennial Kingdom of Jesus Christ:
Assigned by God, it’s for the bringing about of the consummation of His awesome plan! Daniel 9:24 is the part that describes the gap and what the Jews must do; It’s their last chance.
24 “Seventy ‘sevens’ are decreed for your people and your holy city to finish transgression, to put an end to sin, to atone for wickedness, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the Most Holy Place. (Dan. 9:14 NIV)
Then, in Dan. 9: 25-26, Daniel describes the events of the Messiah’s first arrival and His being cut off, but only Daniel 9:27 describes the events that actually take place in the final week of years, the 70th week, beginning after the gap.
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.
14.46 Addendum Deed, Glory God
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.
The final 7 years don’t have to begin exactly with the agreement . . .
To keep it short, no one should use the Masoretic Daniel 9:27 passage as the main foundation piece upon which to put together all the other pieces of the end times prophetic puzzle, especially without even realizing it has no source manuscripts and is quite different than the Old Greek, which has source manuscripts!
It’s extremely likely, in my opinion, that the seven year countdown has already begun. I’ve done extensive research, although I’m not dogmatic about it I find it difficult to talk about it with other believers, as the majority of them are so certain that the final 7 years can’t start until Jesus takes His bride that they’re unable to discuss other possibilities.
But the Bible simply never says that; It only says that He’ll keep the door (Himself) open for the Church of Philadelphia to keep her from the hour of trial that’s going to come upon the whole world. (Rev. 3:8) Only the HOUR!
Bible educated brethren, can only point to the throne room scene as their evidence, because the 24 elders were seen to be there by St. John, prior to when Jesus Christ took the scroll from the hand of God the Father. I understand and sympathize with the desire for us to believe that the 24 elders represent the true church/bride of Christ in order that we may envision ourselves safely in God’s throne room before the final 7 years begin; And that desire is understandably especially strong for those who think that the great tribulation is the same thing as the greatest tribulation, God’s wrath, which comes next!
14.48 Addendum Deed, Glory God
But the Bible never directly reveals who the 24 elders are! I studied this part very deeply. It was painfully difficult to resolve. I went through every single possibility, and each one appeared to be correct as long as I consumed media produced by someone supporting that view. And now it’s gotten worse, with scenery, dramatic music and artificially authoritative voices that draw people in, a seduction to a viewpoint, but without offering careful, meticulous or true references. Thinking all this through with Bible passages, I found fatal errors in every established viewpoint. . . . This went on and on for up to a year maybe, altogether.
But, during that time I gradually began to study the deeper meaning of the lamp stands. It was so deep that I became cautious, realizing it was very important territory. I put it away for awhile, but it had already enlightened me enough to really see something: Jesus walked among the 7 lamp stands in Rev. 1, which are the seven church types; He gave His progress report to each of those seven types, and just 8 verses later St. John saw the Lamb of God in Almighty’s throne room surrounded by 7 blazing torches (Rev. 5). Then the Lamb of God appeared in the middle of God’s throne. I can no longer act like all that means nothing, that suddenly there’s no connection between the 7 lamp stands that are Christ’s 7 churches types, and the 7 lamp stands in God’s throne room in front of God’s throne in the center of which Christ stands as the Lamb of God who died for His church! His church is represented in a 7 fold way as the 7 types! Why are they’re rarely even mentioned in throne room discussions? They’re us. Can’t we recognize ourselves? For a deep study-seemark 10.16-10.21 in . . .
Assuming the 24 elders are the bride, forces the entire time line to conform not only to Jesus having broken no seals yet, when world events are showing something very different; But also, the timeline, which is built on solid prophesies with precise end dates would have to be severed, twisted and squashed to accommodate that view, to the point where God’s Torah calendar wouldn’t even work!
I appreciate and genuinely love the watchers who’ve made monumental efforts with alternate calendars.
But some of the timelines end up delaying the 7th week of Daniel, making it appear that time might allow the bride to be raptured before it begins. Many believers who strongly hope there’s a ‘rapture before the final 7 years’ think that ‘dispensations’ make their hope certain. I agree that God has instituted dispensations, but there are some overlaps happening now that we’re at the tail end; Most Christians embrace a simplified view. But, as for me, I love God’s calendar It’s the only calendar in the Bible. And everything seems to be turning out perfectly on it. see:
