Revelation 06 Sixth Seal of great Tribulation

We update studies as the Lord Jesus leads us. You can find the latest update of this study at ChurchAges.net

Three and a half years of great tribulation

DANIEL 9:24   Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city,

The Jews have 70 weeks left to them.

70 x 7 = 490 days.

A day can represent a year in prophecy.

A Bible year is 360 days. Our modern Roman year is 365.24 days.

So, 70 Bible years is the same length as 69 Roman years. Every 70 Bible years, we have one year less of our modern years.

This prophecy starts in 446 BC when Nehemiah rebuilt the wall of Jerusalem in 52 days.

DANIEL 9:25   Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.

7 +62 = 69 weeks

69 weeks passed before Messiah appeared to be baptized by John thee Baptist in the River Jordan.

DANIEL 9:26   And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.

After His baptism when He was washed as the sacrificial Lamb, Jesus would die for our sins in AD 33 as He was sinless.

The Romans in AD 70 destroyed the city of Jerusalem and the Temple. So, the final prince that shall rule the world in the 3.5 years of great tribulation must also come from Rome. The only influential position in Rome today is the Pope. Eventually, the last Pope will rule the world.

From AD 70 onwards, Israel has been subject to wars, persecutions, murders, and much desolation as they are the most hated nation on earth. Palestinians and Muslims endlessly oppose them.

DANIEL 9:27   And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

In Genesis 15, God made a covenant with Abram (later called Abraham) and his seed. His natural seed was Isaac and the Jews. The Jewish natural seed lost the Promised Land to the Babylonians and then to the Romans and the Arabs. Thus, they could not confirm the covenant.

However, Jesus is Abram’s spiritual seed and He had to take the Old Testament to a new height. Jesus had to be the fulfillment of the Law. Caiaphas, the Jewish High Priest, tore his clothes which broke the Law. That ended the Aaronic priesthood. Jesus is now the High Priest of the Melchizedek priesthood.

Jesus had to have a seven-year ministry (one week) that required Him to die in the midst of the week, after 3½ years.

This caused the animal sacrifices of the Temple to cease, as Jesus became the sacrificial Lamb.

The Jewish Temple site where the sacrifices occurred, became desolate as the Jewish thieves and zealots occupied the Temple and slew two High Priests just before AD 70. The Romans completed the desolation by burning down the Temple in AD 70. The Muslims around AD 700 then built the Dome of the Rock on what they thought was the Temple site, which remains desolate to this day.

Thus there is 3.5 years of the ministry of Jesus that is unfulfilled.

This will be fulfilled by the two prophets Moses and Elijah during the 3.5 years of great tribulation as they bring the 144000 Jews to accept Jesus as Saviour and to be filled with His Holy Spirit.

The last or 70^th week covers a span of 7 years.

The two halves of this last week are pushed apart by the 2000 years of the seven church ages when God did not deal with the Jews. The church was born again of the Holy Ghost on the Day of Pentecost in AD 33 when the Holy Spirit came down.

When the seventh church age ends as the Bride is caught up to Heaven in the Rapture, then God will turn back to the 144000 Jews from the 12 tribes, in the 3.5 years of great tribulation, using His two prophets Moses and Elijah.

The 2000 years of the seven church ages can also be referred to as "the dividing of time".

The last or 70th week was cut in half. The first half was fulfilled by Jesus, the second half was then pushed about 2000 years into the future.

The Jews must wrestle with God

63-0323  THE SIXTH SEAL

Just about the time that Cain come on earth, Abel came on earth. I want you to notice just about the time that Christ came on earth, Judas came on earth. About the time that Christ went off of earth, Judas went off the earth. Just about the time that the Holy Spirit fell, the antichrist spirit fell. Just about the time the Holy Ghost is revealing Himself here in the last days,

the antichrist is showing his colors, coming up through these politics and things;

and just about time the antichrist moves himself fully on the scene, God moves Himself fully on to redeem His own, just runs just right together, and they're both side by side.

Cain and Abel, the crow and the dove on the ark, Judas and Jesus, and just on down.

In the end, the foolish virgin churches are distracted away from understanding the mysteries of God because they are too obsessed with their political prejudices and their focus on getting rich. The religious deception of their church leaders made them accept ideas not written in the Bible. That spirit of antichrist infiltrated the church in the end time. That is why not one end-time prophecy concerning the end-time church says anything good about the end-time church. Similarly, not one end-time parable concerning the church says anything good about the end-time church.

When the true church is caught up to Heaven, then that spirit of antichrist will focus on the Jews as well.

That is when God will send His two prophets to rescue the 144000 Jews.

REVELATION 11:2   But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.

REVELATION 11:3   And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.

If 42 Bible months is the same as 1260 days, then one Bible month equals 30 days.

Great tribulation lasts 3.5 years.

63-0323   THE SIXTH SEAL

And while the tribulation's falling, in there comes these two prophets of Revelations 11 to preach the Gospel to them. And they preach a thousand, one hundred and three score days. See? Well, that's exactly, with thirty days in the month, like the real calendar has, is exactly three and one-half years.

… And remember, as long as Israel is out of that land, she's out of the will of God. Like Abraham, who it was give to.

Great tribulation will be used to force the Jews back to Israel.

… watch the money proposition. Just like the Jew will try making this covenant with Rome and their money proposition.

GENESIS 32:24   And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.

:25   And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him.

:30   And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.

:31   And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he halted upon his thigh.

He halted. That means he limped. Jacob had to wrestle with God until he walked differently.

The 144000 will wrestle with God during great tribulation until they accept Christ as Saviour and receive the Holy Ghost baptism to enable them to understand the deeper Bible mysteries.

63-0323   THE SIXTH SEAL

But we find out now that Israel in that time of trouble, when he was Jacob, he wrestled with the... He got a hold of Something that was real.

There was a Man come down. Jacob got his arms around Him, and he stayed there. And the Fellow said, "I must be going now. It's coming daylight." Oh, that breaking of the day. "It's fixing to come day."

But Jacob said, "I'm not going to leave You. You can't go. I'm going to stay right with You. I want things changed here." That's that hundred and forty-four thousand, that money-scheming bunch and things like that. When they see the true genuine thing to get a hold of, there stands Moses, and there stands Elijah. Amen.

They'll wrestle with God until one hundred and forty-four thousand of the tribes of Israel are called out right there.

... Also Jacob's trouble. Here is when the hundred and forty-four thousand is called out. They’d preachers, them two prophets, they preach like John the Baptist, "The Kingdom of heaven is at hand. Repent, Israel." Repent what? Repent from your sins and your unbelief, and turn back to God.

Great tribulation starts with an earthquake and dark

The Sixth Seal deals with the time of 3.5 years that is known as "great tribulation".

Do not confuse this time with other references to "tribulation".

For instance:

MATTHEW 24:29   Immediately after the tribulation of those days

This refers to the awful Holocaust. The six years of the Second World War when 6 million Jews were killed by Hitler in Nazi Germany.

REVELATION 6:12   And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;

The sun will stop shining.

This also happened for three hours when Jesus died. Thus, it was not an eclipse as the longest solar eclipse is about seven and a half minutes. Somehow, miraculously, the sun just stopped shining as the Word was killed. This broke all the laws of Nature.

Dense darkness during the day also as it was in the days of Moses and the first Exodus when the Jews escaped from Egypt.

EXODUS 10:21    And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt.

EXODUS 10:22   They saw not one another, neither rose any from his place for three days: but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.

This dense darkness during the day will be repeated in great tribulation when Moses helps the Jews escape from the financial clutches of Rome.

63- 0323   THE SIXTH SEAL

Now, Daniel 12 said that everyone that was found written in the Book would be delivered. Here God is about to deliver His second son, Israel, after the tribulation. See, the second time. Israel is His son; you know that. Israel is God's son. So, He's going to deliver him here in the tribulation period just exactly the way He did down in Egypt.

There was darkness in Egypt when God brought Israel out of Egypt.

There will be darkness in the world during great tribulation when God delivers Israel out of Rome’s deceptions.

Jesus is the Word of God. Darkness symbolizes that the influence of the King James Bible has been killed by the churches. They regarded It as a flawed Bible. Even Message-churches that claim to follow brother Branham now foolishly contradict and change certain Bible verses. Over one hundred different translations of the Bible have been offered in place of the King James Bible. Thus, the translators admit that there cannot be a Bible that is the Absolute truth. As a result, they have no perfect foundation for their faith and the world plunges suddenly into the intense spiritual darkness of church opinions and traditions. Consequently, when great tribulation starts, the sun will again refuse to shine. Once again the laws of Nature will be broken. This will totally confound the scientists who think that they are so clever.

The sun is a symbol of Jesus and the moon reflects sunlight to a dark earth after the sun leaves. The moon is a symbol of the church that reflects the Light of the King James Bible to the people on earth who are in darkness.

When the true Bride is caught up to meet Jesus in the air, then the Holy Spirit leaves the earth as the Spirit will catch up the Bride to Heaven. The Light of God's Word leaves and the world goes into spiritual darkness. Only the Holy Spirit can enable a person to understand Scripture.

JOHN 16:13   Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth:

When life leaves, then death enters

The fourth Seal sees Death taking his last ride as he kills one-quarter of the earth’s 8 billion inhabitants, which is 2 billion. Approximately 1.4 billion Catholics and 0.8 billion Protestants total about 2.2 billion Christians. Death targets the Christians with mass murder during great tribulation.

REVELATION 6:7   And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.

:8   And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

63 0323 THE SIXTH SEAL

If we had time, I could show what's going to happen to that Gentile church. The Bible said that the dragon, Satan, was wroth (That's angry.) with the woman (the Jew, Israel); and he spurted water from his mouth (thickness and multitudes of people) that went to make war with the remnant of the woman's seed (Revelation 12). Now, see there? We have that. And that's when Rome sends her army after the remnant, the remnant of the woman's seed.

When making a dress, all the material is good but you only choose that part of the material that fits the pattern that you have in mind. The rest of the good material is left behind because it did not fit the pattern. The Bride is the material that is cut out according to the pattern of God’s Word. The remnant, the foolish virgins, were also good material as they were saved, but they never fit the King James Bible pattern. They never had enough oil to ignite so they had insufficient light to illuminate the written Word and thus they could not understand the deeper mysteries of Scripture. They never understood that they were supposed to return to the apostolic beliefs of the New Testament.

REVELATION 12:16   And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.

The woman is Israel. The earth represents natural disasters that actually will help the 144000 to return to Israel and to be protected from the vicious attacks and indoctrination of the final Pope.

REVELATION 12:17   And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

The woman’s seed is the church. The church was born from the Old Testament Jews who rely on their own testimony of keeping the Law.The Jews were the mother of the church. The church came out of Judaism.

But the church had to rely on the testimony of Jesus Christ, not their own testimony. The Bride’s pattern has been cut out because they were wise enough to understand the revealed Bible mysteries and knew their place in Scripture. They return to the beliefs of the first church age and will be taken up to Heaven in the rapture. The foolish virgin remnant stays behind to face the full wrath of the last Pope and his armies. They will have no chance as they will all be killed.

63 0323 THE SIXTH SEAL

God's calling out Israel. Now, "sun as black as hair..." Now, God was about to deliver Israel there (All right.), bring them out of their enemy's hand, which was Egypt at that time.

Now, here He is bringing them out of the Roman hands, where they'd made their covenant. Same thing happens. That's the plagues.

The time that this plague will call, they'll plague this group of Gentiles.

When the end-time Bride returns to the apostolic beliefs of the first church age, the resurrection happens. Seven Thunders will show the Bride how to change their bodies into immortal bodies to give them rapturing faith. We cannot be raptured in our present bodies.

The 7 Trumpets of Revelation are plagues designed to call the Jews out of the Roman church-controlled world and send them back to Israel during great tribulation.

The 7 Vials of Judgement that pour out during great tribulation are plagues designed to punish the world and the foolish virgins for refusing to return back to the apostolic New Testament beliefs of the first church age.

During the 3½ years of great tribulation two-thirds of the Jews will be killed. (About 12 million Jews). Jews who are killed for being Jews will go to Heaven, according to the Fifth Seal. The remaining third (about 6 million Jews) will be refined and become the nation of Israel in the Millennium or thousand years of peace.

ZECHARIAH 13:8   And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the LORD, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein.

:9     And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The LORD is my God.

REVELATION 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:

Jews rely on their own testimony of good works. They believe the Old Testament. These Jews have been killed for being Jews.

REVELATION 6:10   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?

They want vengeance. Their law says, “Eye for eye, tooth for tooth”.

REVELATION 6:11   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.

They are given white robes. God’s grace is towards the Jews because He blinded them so that He could turn to the Gentiles.

They must just wait for 3½ years, then they can go back for Armageddon and defeat the enemy.

Then the blood will flow in a river for 200 miles. A staggering destruction of unsaved humanity.

REVELATION 14:20   And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.

Eight furlongs make a mile.

The Jews dominate the world’s money on the stock markets. Rome will dominate the churches, the world's gold supply, and all wealth under the final Pope, the man of sin. Eventually, the Jews will make a financial covenant with the final Pope, who will then control all the world’s wealth. The Pope will then attack Israel to break their financial covenant and rob the Jews of their stock market wealth. Just like Saddam Hussein who was President of Iraq, and he owed Kuwait billions. Then he attacked and conquered Kuwait in order to avoid having to pay back his debt.

Matthew 25 has the parable of 10 virgins who symbolize the saved people in the churches. But they are all fast asleep. A midnight cry, probably some huge disaster, wakes them all up and they are told to go out of their churches to seek the truth. But the foolish virgins, who are saved but fooled by church propaganda, are unable to find the truth in time and end up being left behind.

MATTHEW 25:5   While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

:6   And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.

:7   Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.

The wise virgins woke up and realized that they had to improve their standards of understanding the Scriptures. Trimming their lamps meant cutting carbon (sin) off the wicks so that they had more light to better read and understand the Scriptures.
The foolish virgins wanted oil but were told to pay the price, by being rejected and criticized and persecuted.

MATTHW 25:10    And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.

The foolish virgins are comfortably asleep in their churches, lulled asleep by their pastors. Then they find the Door closed. Jesus, the Word, is the Door. But they never made a serious effort to study and understand the Word of God. They just assumed that their church and pastor, who was the unscriptural head of the church, were correct. Totally ignoring that there are 45000 different kinds of churches that all had alternative ideas. But they all get straightened out and then killed in the horror of great tribulation.

PHILIPPIANS 2:12   Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

Churches ignored this verse as they convinced themselves that their church is comfortably correct, provided you never argue with the pastor. There is no need for fear and trembling in the church.

“And the moon became as blood”

By reflecting sunlight, the moon represents the church.

Two billion churchgoers will die in a massive blood bath. They will pay this sad price because they were too scared to disagree with their pastors who refused to return to the beliefs of the first church age.

Now is the time we should check to see if we are Scriptural. Are we going back to the beliefs of the first church age? Baptism in the name of Jesus Christ according to ACTS 2:38 because Jesus Christ is the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.

A group of local elders ruled small local churches; thus, the pastor was not the head of the church.

The early church had no Christmas. The Bible never asked us to celebrate the Lord’s birth.

The early church had no Good Friday. Jesus had to be three nights in the tomb and He rose early on Sunday morning. So, He died on Thursday afternoon. He was in the tomb for Thursday night, Friday night, and Saturday night.

EXODUS 12:3   Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house:

Jesus was chosen by public acclaim on Palm Sunday. That had to be the tenth day.

Monday 11^th, Tuesday 12^th, Wednesday 13^th, and Thursday 14^th.

Exodus 12:6   And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening.

Thus, the fourteenth day, His death day, had to be Thursday.

Our modern churches have strayed far from the Scriptural path. As the foolish, or fooled virgins, they are doomed to be straightened out in the horrific great tribulation and killed.

Fallen stars are money-chasing preachers

REVELATION 6:13   And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.

The stars of heaven are the seed of Abraham.

GENESIS 15:5   And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.

The spiritual stars are the preachers who are guiding the churches. They are supposed to tell people what is in the Bible but they are now preaching popular man-made doctrines that the churches want to hear. Thus, they have fallen from their Heavenly calling as they no longer regard the King James Bible as the Absolute truth. Nor do they regard it as important to get back to the beliefs of the first church-age apostles. Modern preachers repeat the propaganda for which they get paid. They and their followers then go to their doom in great tribulation.

That is why no end-time prophecy or no end-time parable concerning the end-time church says anything good about the end-time church.

The natural seed of Abraham are the Jewish rabbis. They too mislead the Jews as they reject the New Testament. So, all the churches and the Jews are falling short. But there is hope for the Jews as Moses and Elijah will arise with great power to guide them to Christ.

The fig tree is a symbol of Israel. The horror and violence of the last Pope with the military might of ten dictators will be unleashed on Israel. The Rabbis (as well as the church preachers) will be totally swept away. Wind is a symbol of war and strife and great tribulation will unleash a mighty onrushing wind of savage destruction.

Only the two Jewish prophets Moses and Elijah with their incredible supernatural power over nature will be able to withstand the onslaught.

The Bible becomes a closed Book

REVELATION 6:14   And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.

Without the Holy Spirit, it is impossible for church-goers in the time of great tribulation to puzzle out the truth of Scripture.

The Jewish Rabbis and the church pastors all have propaganda and fake news about what they think of the end-time events. When the Bride is taken up to Heaven, reality will strike with ferocious ruthlessness. The Door to Heaven slams shut as if the scroll of truth has been rolled up and taken away. From then on the King James Bible, the scroll of truth, will no longer speak to anyone.

Any island of refuge amid the turbulent and boisterous sea of ignorance and disorder of the nations will be moved aside by those devastating events. A mountain represents a fixed kingdom of human power. All human kingdoms will be unable to withstand the flood tide of great tribulation's violence and murderous destruction.

REVELATION 6:15   And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;

Terrifying natural disasters will sweep the earth. Eathquakes, tsunamis, volcanic explosions, and a three-and-a-half-year drought with no rain. Nobody can escape the grim and deadly judgements.

Kings and dictators, heads of governments, famous and feared military leaders, billionaires, CEOs of multinational companies, top scientists, influential men and women, and those enslaved by poverty and bad circumstances will all be as nothing.

Powerful people will be powerless. Money will not save the wealthy. Scientists will be helpless when the laws of Nature break down to release natural cataclysms. No influential figure can argue or dissuade the angry Lamb. They rejected or corrupted the end-time ministry of the American prophet William Branham, who came to restore them back to the beliefs of the early apostles. Now, they will pay the price.

Bible truth is hidden from these people in this greeeat tribulation time. Thus, when they have to give an account to God, all the people will prefer to hide themselves away. In the absence of the Holy Spirit, the Gentiles are unable to repent of their sins and errors.

REVELATION 6:16   And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:

To die in an avalanche of rock is incredibly awful. Yet that is preferred to facing the wrath of Jesus. Their horrible situation forces them to admit that they have to give Jesus an account of their lives and beliefs. They admit that Jesus is on the throne of power. There is no Trinity on the throne. Yet they cannot repent. They have crossed the line from mercy to judgement. There is no mercy for the unsaved nor for the foolish virgins who are the church-goers who were saved before great tribulation started. All the foolish virgins have to die in horrible circumstances. Because they had been saved before great tribulation started, they will be allowed into Heaven as they will be spared on Judgement Day. But they can never be part of the Lamb’s Bride. They will never be that close to Jesus because they preferred their church to the revealed Word. And Jesus is the Word, not the church.

63-0323  THE SIXTH SEAL

Notice, the last verse of the Sixth Seal opened. Those who had laughed at the preaching of the Word, of the vindicated Word of the living God... When them prophets that stood there and performed miracles, closed the sun, and everything else, and all down through the age... See? They cried for the rocks and the mountains to hide them (See?), to hide them from the Word that they'd laughed at, 'cause they seen Him coming. "Hide us from the wrath of the Lamb." He is the Word. See?

They'd laughed at the Word, and here the Word was incarnate; and they'd made fun of It, laughed at them, made fun of them, and the incarnate Word had dropped forth. Why didn't they repent? They couldn't: too far then. So they knowed that the punishment... They hear it. They've set in meetings like this and knowed about it, and they know that the things that those prophets had predicted was looking them right in the face.

The thing that they had rejected, they'd spurned mercy for the last time. And when you spurn mercy, there's nothing left but judgment. When you spurn mercy... Just think of it.

And there they was. They had no place to go, no retreat. And the Bible said here, "They called for the--cried to the rocks and the mountains to fall on us, and hide us from the face of and the wrath of the Lamb." They'd tried to repent, but the Lamb had come to claim His own. See? And they cried to the rocks and the mountains, prayed, but their prayers were too late.

REVELATION 6:17   For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

The Sixth Seal has not opened yet

God will use two prophets, Moses and Elijah, to call out the 144000 Jews so that they can meet Jesus.

63-0323  THE SIXTH SEAL

... and have power over the waters to turn them to blood and to smite the earth with plagues as oft as they will.

What is it? What can bring these things but the Word? They can do nature any way they want to. Here it is. They're the one who brings on this Sixth Seal. They uncover and open it up. It's the power of God to interrupt nature.

See, the Sixth Seal, is completely an interruption of nature.

Do you get it now? There's your Seal. Who does it? It's the prophets the other side of the rapture.

With the power of God, the Word of God, they just condemn nature. They can send earthquakes, turn the moon into blood, the sun can go down or anything at their command. Amen.

And now here's these two prophets standing here with the Word of God to do anything to nature they want to, and they shake the earth. And it shows exactly who does it. It's Moses and Elijah, 'cause there's their ministry re-impersonated again: both men. Oh, my. Do you see it now? See what the Sixth Seal is? It's those prophets.

Now, notice. Don't let it choke you, but watch what opened that Seal: prophets.

See? Amen. There you are. Oh, we're living in the eagle day, brother, head up among the clouds.

They opened that Sixth Seal. They have power to do it.

Amen. There's your Sixth Seal coming open. See?

… All nature is interrupted in this Sixth Seal

The Sixth Seal has not opened yet. The two prophets open the Sixth Seal during great tribulation by interrupting Nature to produce devastatingly destructive effects.

We have an outline of some events as a revelation of the Sixth Seal. But it actually opens to reveal the full details only when subject to the future power of the two prophets. We can speak in a revelation about the power that they will have. But they will actually demonstrate incredible power to interrupt Nature.  That alone will open the Sixth Seal.

63-0323  THE SIXTH SEAL

It's time for the Sixth Seal, pretty soon, to be opening up, and when she does, oh, my. The end.

The Bride has done gone forth. She's done... The Queen's done went to take her place. She's being married now to the King, while this was going on. And Israel's remnant is sealed and ready to go, and then nature lets go. Oh, what a time.

The opening of the Sixth Seal is still in the future

Mercy is still available as the Lamb has not left His Mercy Seat in the Sanctuary.

63-0323  THE SIXTH SEAL

Then, Father, pour down the Holy Spirit of Oil upon them, that they might be placed into the service of the Lord God, that they might be workers in this last evil day. For we realize we have just a short time, and the Church might go at any time.

The Lamb might at any time leave the sanctuary up there or the throne of sacrifice,

come forth from the throne of God where the sacrifice laid, and then it's over. There's no more hopes for the world; she's finished. Then she goes into flusterations of great spasms of earthquakes and great shakings like it was at the resurrection.

As Christ rose from the grave, when the saints rise, the same thing will take place. Lord, it could be at any minute. We're watching for that glad day to arrive. Take Your children under Your arm, Father, now. Draw Your little lambs to Your bosom. Grant it, and feed them on the Word till they're in strength for service.

Look at it. Not only here, but the world over, the thing is polluted, and the world, the nature... God, have mercy. The whole world in its birth pains, the world is trying; she's travailing, Isaiah said. What's the matter? She's trying to bring forth a new world for the Millennium. Trying to birth a new world for a new people that won't sin and pollute her. That's right. She's in travail.

That's the reason we are in travail. Christ, to bring forth the Bride... Everything is travailing and groaning. See, there's something fixing to happen.

And this sixth plague lets her go.

Brother, the earthquake burst open, and the stars shake; volcanics will come forth, and the earth will renew itself.

New lava will break forth from the center of the earth, and she'll crumble all around and around and around when she spins out in yonder.

Now, remember, He stopped right there.

He never went ahead after that Sixth Seal.

He never said anything about the Seventh. He said the First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth, but He stopped there--never mentioned about anything about...

Watch the next thing He said, "Now, learn a parable." See? Then He starts on parables. He said, "These things will be." He's answering them three questions: "What will be the--these signs, and what will be the sign of Your coming, what will be the sign of the end of the world?"

And the sixth one there was the end of the world.

And the sounding of the seventh angel raised up the hands and swore by Him that lives forever and ever that time shall be no more.

The Sixth Seal is the end of the world.

The Seventh Seal ushers in the Millennium, the new Kingdom of Peace for 1000 years.
