In this week’s study, we finish up our study in Chapter 6 with the 6th Seal.
When do you think that these seals began their work? Did they begin when Yahshua Messiah opened the book as we read in the beginning of this chapter?
Or did Yahshua reveal the future to John on these seals and the seal really didn’t affect until Israel become a nation in May of 1948? I throw out that thought based on what He tells us in Matthew 24:32-35
In this sixth Seal we are carried right forward to the time of the end. The Seals, as we have said, are a summary, in brief, of the whole period of the Tribulation; and, as the former Seals correspond exactly with the last great prophecy of Yahshua Messiah in Matt 24, so this sixth Seal also has its place in that chapter. We may thus exhibit the parallel:
| Matt 24 | The Seals. | Rev 6
| 4, 5 | 1st | The False Christ | 1,2
| 6, 7- | 2nd | Wars | 3, 4
| -7- | 3rd | Famines | 5, 6
| -7 | 4th | Pestilences | 7, 8
| 8-28 | 5th | Martyrdoms | 9-11
| 29-30 | 6th | Signs in Heaven of Advent | 12-17
Remember in an earlier study I took the time to show you that the 6th, seal 7th trumpet, and the 7th vial were the same event! I will show you the secret to understanding Revelation by going through one simple exercise. Once again I will compare 3 key events in Revelation with each other – the 6th Seal, the 7th Trumpet and the 7th Vial. The 6th Seal is recorded in Chapter 6. The 7th Trumpet is in the 11 Chapter, and the 7th Vial is found in Chapter 16. We will discover that these 3 events are actually one and the same. The 6th Seal is the 7th Trumpet, and is the 7th Vial!
Don’t end up like those in Hosea 4:6 ‘My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God (Elohim), I will also forget thy children.’
But, be like those in 2Timothy 2:15 ‘Study to shew thyself approved unto God (Yahweh), a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.’
