I summarize Revelation with: Look out! It’s all going to happen and we
should be aware and prepared for it. Be
not in the dark as Paul says in 1 Thess 5:3-4
Actually the first Five Seals were opened at Christ’s Ascension, as per
Revelation 5 and 6:1-11. As we see from the terrible wars, famines and plagues
we have experienced since then. The Sixth Seal, Day of the Lord’s wrath, is the
next prophesied event we can expect, with its dramatic cosmic and world shaking
things prophesied, triggered by an attack upon Israel. Psalms 83, Micah 4:11-12
This worldwide disaster will cause the nations to combine in a One World
Government, but we Christians will be motivated to go to and settle in all of
the holy Land. We are seen there by John in Revelation 7:9-14 and when the
Great Tribulation of the 7 Trumpets and 7 Bowls starts: in Daniel 7:25,
Revelation 13:7 and in Revelation 12:14-17.
We see how some Christians are taken to a place of safety for those 1260
days, but the rest must remain in the holy Land while under the control of the
‘beast’, Revelation 13:5-7. Daniel 11:32-35 tells how the Lord’s people are
divided at this time. Zechariah 14:1-2 describes this conquest.
All this information is given to us before it happens so we are without excuse
if we fail to take note of and understand God’s Plans for the end times. Amos
3:7, Revelation 1:1-3
The proof that we ARE in the end times, is all the time periods as given in the
Bible up to the conquest of Judah by Babylon in 586 BC and from then until
today: adds up to 5989 years, +/- 1 or 2 years.
People can argue against the truth of mankind being given 6000 years to rule
themselves and then Jesus will rule for 1000 years, however; this decreed time
can be plainly discerned from the Bible. The Creation as per Genesis 1, models
this period.
The fact is that there were exactly 2000 years from Adam to Abraham, another
2000 years Abraham to Jesus, so it is logical to assume there will be 2000
years of this Christian era to complete, which will finally demonstrate our
inability to self rule. The reign of Jesus for the final 1000 years will
demonstrate that His rule of benevolent dictatorship is the best form of
Government.
