The 5th Seal is not tribulation. The 5th Seal is the entire church being glorified at the Second Coming.
The only action that happens when the 5th Seal is opened, is the entire church putting on robes of white, and told to wait in Paradise as the great multitude until the final harvest is over.
How do you draw this conclusion?
Rev 6
9 And when he had
opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them,
that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
This is the Great Tribulation of those days. Seen in Matthew 24.
Matthew 24
21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
The fifth seal the Great Tribulation of those days.
That is the only event and action that happens at the 5th Seal. Jesus comes to the Mount of Olives per Zechariah 14 in the 6th Seal. These 2 Seals go hand in hand with each other. The glorification of the church and Jesus' return to Jerusalem at the same time.
Jesus DOES NOT come to Jerusalem at the 6th seal. He remains in the clouds. It is the gathering from heaven and earth at the 6th seal. The is a harvest. Armageddon does not happen until the end of the trumpets.
The tribulation of "those days" is the great tribulation of the church for 2,000 years, starting from the Cross until the Second Coming.
Come on. You really think that. Mmmmm.........................
Matthew 24
15
When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
You conclusion that the tribulation of those days is.....................Mmmmmm. THINK.
Did we see the abomination of desolation 2000 years ago?
I have no clue how some of you are capable of drawing conclusion that reject the Word of God. You need to rethink this.
The church is no longer in tribulation, once removed from the earth. That tribulation is found in Matthew 24:4-13
Exactly. And the tribulation of those days begins with the setting up of the abomination of desolation. The Great Tribulation of those days did not start 2000 years ago.
How could you possibly draw this conclusion based on the scripture?
The Thunders happen prior to the 7th Trumpet.
Good.
The 7th Trumpet starts sounding before those 42 months mentioned in Revelation 13 given to Satan. So all the Trumpets and Thunders happen 42 months prior to Armageddon, which is after Satan's 42 months of AoD.
Mmmmmm.............all these conclusions are not based on the Word of God.
Brother, What do you see when you read this verse?
What you should see is that Armageddon has already happened and Christ has set up His kingdom on the earth.
There is NOT 42 MONTHS after the 7th trumpets sounds. When Christ sets up His kingdom the 70 week is OVER.
Why do people not want Revelation to be in the chronological order John wrote? Why do they insist: "that Revelation is not chronological, thus my own personal order as I see it can only be God's plan for the future"?
Revelation IS IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER. From Revelation 1 thru Revelation 11 you can read straight through in Chronological order with the exception of Revelation 7 where the sealing of the 144,000 actually occurs before the 5th seal. We can prove that by Revelation 13.
Rev 12 is a different animal.
When you get to Revelation 13 and 14 you are back in the seals. When you get to Revelation 15 and 16 you are back in the 7th seal which is Gods wrath. So from Revelation 13 thru Rev 16 that is in chronological order.
That is how you read the book of Revelation.
The vials poured out at the end of the 42 months is God's wrath
Gods wrath is only 1-year. The vials are not poured out at the end of 42 months.
. But if you want to call the final harvest the wrath of the Lamb, you would be correct, as only a remnant are redeemed in the Trumpets and Thunders, while the majority are tossed alive into the LOF.
Do you have scripture to support this?
The Trumpets and Thunders are a display of God's Sovereignty. But if you want to call every act of nature that disrupts human life, the wrath of God, then God's wrath has happened on the US over the last few months with dozens of tornadoes and violent thunderstorms. In that case God's wrath is consistent year after year. That is the tribulation of the church as well.
Gods wrath has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the tribulation. Gods' wrath happens after the tribulation.
