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

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

The Crux of the Sixth Seal

Context of the fourth and fifth seals:

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

2.0 See the Glory of God, Beyond the Veil

Thoughts about the Tribulation Saints:

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

2.1 Glory God Beyond

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

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

2.2 Glory God Beyond

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

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

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

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

7. 2nd Thessalonians Mistranslated

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

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

2.3 Glory God Beyond

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

2.4 Glory God Beyond

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

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

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

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

2.5 Glory God Beyond

Here’s what I overlooked:

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

Compare it to the verses in the Synoptic Gospels:

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

Olivet Discourse – Mark 13:19-20, “ because those will be days of distress unequaled from the beginning, when God created the world, until now—and never to be equaled again.  If the Lord had not cut short those days, no one would survive. But for the sake of the elect, whom he has chosen, he has shortened them.”

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

2.6 Glory God Beyond

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

So they’re definitely not the same harvest!

2.7 Glory God Beyond

Three Harvests – each with three parts:

2.8 Glory God Beyond

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

Revelation 14:14-20 The Two Grape Harvests

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

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

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

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

The gleanings are martyrs

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

2.9 Glory God Beyond

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

But, not everything that’s set apart is set apart to God:

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

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

2.10 Glory God Beyond

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

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

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

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

2.11 Glory God Beyond

Talking about martyrs – a note on the Two Witnesses:

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

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

2.12 Glory God Beyond

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

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

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

Certain Israelites were dedicated to God even before being born.

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

2.13 Glory God Beyond

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

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

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

This is a sensitive topic . . .

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

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

Purim:

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

2.15 Glory God Beyond

1. Jesus is the Door-High Watches

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

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

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

Revelation 7:9

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

Watch for Jesus Christ:

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

2.16 Glory God Beyond

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

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:

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

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

2.18 Glory God Beyond

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

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

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

It’s recorded in Talmud . . .

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

Unless the bride of Christ isn’t going to have bodies, it seems that if she were already in God’s throne room physically when the 14 elders burst into the song, she’d be described as the tribulation saints were: standing in God’s throne room wearing white robes, etc., as described in Rev. 7:9-17.

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

2.19 Glory God Beyond

With 7 full blazes . . .

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

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

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

2.20 Glory God Beyond

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

2.21 Glory God Beyond

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

Where’s Proof that the Zadokites Stayed Faithful?

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

A few final things to consider . . .

Appointed times / Holy convocations . . .

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

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

2.22 Glory God Beyond

Agricultural harvests are symbolic of harvests of souls:

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

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

Could the Open Door Harvest be a relatively discreet harvest?

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

2.23 Glory God Beyond

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

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

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

2.24 Glory God Beyond

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

2.25 Glory God Beyond

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

Rev. 6:15-17

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

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

2.26 Glory God Beyond

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

2.27 Glory God Beyond

The Tribulation Saints of the sixth seal:

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

Revelation 7:9-14

2.28 Glory God Beyond

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

There were quite a few ways to put the pieces of the multi-harvest puzzle together;

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