Revelations 7 Year Bookcase

Page 1 Two requests before you start reading: 1. Please ask the Holy Spirit to open your heart and eyes to what He has for you on this topic. Keep reading when you come across new details even if they do not match what you have been taught. Persevere to the end to see what the Holy Spirit has for you today. 2. We believe everything should be supported by the mouth of 2 or 3 witnesses (2 Corinthians 13:1), i.e. 2 or 3 references in the Bible (see John 8:17 and Deuteronomy 17:6), before you build a theory in prophecy. The theory also must not contradict any other scripture in the Bible (see 2 Peter 1:20). If we have failed in this regard, please let us know. Why a bookcase? Newsflash Revelation is not written in a linear format! It does not describe one continuous, end to end story.

1. The majority of the book of Revelation covers a 7 year period of time. 2. Events described in parallel (like the 4 gospels Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) are better understood when placed in chronological order, i.e. on different shelves, one above one another. The same is true with the Seals, Trumpets, and Bowls of Wrath. 3. The Greek (Gk.) word for wrath or-yee is seen only 6 times in the book of Revelation (Rev 6:16,17, 11:18, 14:10, 16:19, and 19:15) and does not cover the entire 7 year period. This 7 year period is never called the Wrath of God in scripture. For God did not appoint us to wrath [Gk. or-yee], but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, 1 Thess 5:9. Please read this reason again. 4. All the islands and mountains (as listed in the 6th Seal and the 7th Bowl of Wrath) do not disappear twice so they must describe the same event. This can best be seen on the summary figure on page 13.

And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars, nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer. So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. But in the middle of the week He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering Therefore when you see the 'abomination of desolation,' spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (whoever reads, let him understand) the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. At that time Michael shall stand up, [Hebrew - stand aside] The great prince who stands watch over the sons of your people; And there shall be a time of trouble, Such as never was since there was a nation, Even to that time For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect's sake those days will be shortened. And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

Remarks & Placement Page 3 The peace treaty is enforced. The Jews can now rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem, 2 Thess 2:4. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. This answers the 1st question of Matt24:3. Things will get worse. Satan and 1/3 of the angels (per Rev 12:4) lose access to Heaven and are cast to the Earth (Gods footstool Isaiah 66:1). Christ is told to sit at the Fathers right hand until this event occurs, Psalms 110:1 and Hebrews 10:11-13. Per Rev 12:13+14, there are still 3.5 years left. Michael gets out of the way per Daniel 12:1 and he is the one who restrains in 2 Thess 2:6,7. The temple is rebuilt before the middle point and the man of sin will be revealed by what he does there. What does he sit on and where? This marks the middle of the 7 year period per Rev 13:5 to continue for 42 months and where the Mark of the Beast is required per Rev 13:16-18. Satan kills 2/3 of Jews (Zechariah 13:8,9), making this the 2nd Holocaust but he cant kill the sealed 144,000 Jews (Rev 7:1-8) who are moved to a safe place (Rev 12:14). It is because of the elect sakes (i.e. those still alive) that the duration of The Great Tribulation is made shorter. The brethren listed in the 5th Seal (Rev 6:9-11) and the Believers of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues listed in Rev 7:9-17 are coming out of The Great Tribulation. Those who are alive and remain [Gk. survive] in 1 Thess. 4:15,17 describes the Christians that are never killed in this period, i.e. the survivors.

Rev 12:17

Description Last Martyr/ 1st Resurrection

Reference Rev 20: 4-7

Daniels 70th Week Shelf Details And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.

Remarks & Placement Page 4 Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years. The 1st resurrection of the dead in Christ and the rapture happen together per 1 Thess 4:15-17.

The Day of the Lord

Joel 2:31

The Wrath of the Lord

Isaiah 13: 9-13

Only 2 resurrections remain per I Cor. 15:20-28 after Christ the firstfruits (on Resurrection morning). These 2 resurrections are separated by 1,000 years. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, Those in Jesus Christ have hope to avoid this before the coming of the great and awesome day of the LORD. time according to 1 Thes 5:9 For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation Behold, the day of the LORD comes, cruel, with both wrath through our Lord Jesus Christ, and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate; and He will destroy its sinners from it. This is also seen in 1 Thes 1:9+10 For they For the stars of heaven and their constellations will not give themselves declare concerning us what manner their light; the sun will be darkened in its going forth, and the of entry we had to you, and how you turned to moon will not cause its light to shine. God from idols to serve the living and true God, I will punish the world for [its] evil, and the wicked for their and to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He iniquity; I will halt the arrogance of the proud, and will lay low raised from the dead, [even] Jesus who delivers the haughtiness of the terrible. us from the wrath to come. I will make a mortal more rare than fine gold, a man more than the golden wedge of Ophir. And in Rom 5:9 Much more then, having now Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth will move out been justified by His blood, we shall be saved of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts and in the day from wrath through Him. of His fierce anger. The Day/Wrath of the Lord is very short in duration because God packs a lot into a small space (remember the days of creation in Gen 1:3-31). Just as the Scripture never calls it the Week of the Lord, the duration of the Day of the Lord does not last for 7 years (or even a full year).

See Rev 12:13-16 and 12:17 for 2 separate groups of people. The 5th Seal is before the middle of the week as they are told to rest yet for a little season, until their fellow servants (i.e. Jews see Rev 7:3,4) [~1st year after the middle] and their brethren (i.e. true Christians) [the next ~ 2 years], should be killed as they were killed. They said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb This is the great Wrath of the Lamb (of God). Based on the 7th Trumpet and Rev 12:13-17 this is the last ~6 months or the last 1/2 a time of the 7 year period. The lull before the storm. Based on the 5th Trumpet the 7th Seal is before the middle of the week.

And 1/3 of the trees were burned up, and all green grass burned up. a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea and 1/3 of the sea became blood; 1/3 of the living sea creatures die; and 1/3 of the ships were destroyed. A great star named Wormwood fell from heaven, burning like a torch, it fell on 1/3 of the rivers and on the springs of water. 1/3 of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters made bitter. 1/3 of the sun was struck, 1/3 of the moon, and 1/3 of the stars, so that 1/3 of them were darkened. 1/3 of the day did not shine, and likewise the night. An angel flies through the midst of heaven, and says with a loud voice, "Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth, because of the trumpets of the three angels about to sound! A star fallen from heaven to the earth, is given the key to the bottomless pit, which he opens and smoke rises like a great furnace. The sun and the air are darkened because of the pits smoke. Out of the smoke comes locusts and they are given power, as scorpions. Theyre commanded not to harm the grass, any green thing, or any tree, but only those men who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads. They are not given authority to kill men, but to torment them for 5 months, like when a scorpion strikes a man. Men seek death and death flees from them. The locusts are like horses prepared for battle, on their heads crowns like gold, faces like men, hair like women, and teeth like lions, breastplates of iron, and their wings sound like chariots with many horses running into battle, tails like scorpions, with stings. Their king is the angel of the bottomless pit, in Hebrew Abaddon, but in Greek Apollyon.

Remarks & Placement Page 8 Remember the fire and sulfur balls that rained on Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim (Deut 29:23) ? Placed under the 3rd Seal as it provides details about how food is destroyed. Falling star hits an ocean (salt water). Placed under the 4th Seal as it provides more details about how people are killed. A falling star hits fresh water sources. Provides more details about the 4th Seal (how people are killed) so placed under the 4th Seal and after the 2nd Trumpet. The first 3 and 1/2 years end with a warning of the last 3 Trumpets (3 Woes) yet to start.

The first 5 months of the 2nd half will be painful with scorpion like stings. This begins at the middle of the 7 year period when Satan is cast (i.e. the star that is fallen) to the Earth from Heaven after losing the battle there (Rev 12:7-9) and is permitted to free those that have been in prison in the bottomless pit for years. This is the same bottomless pit that holds Satan for 1,000 years per Rev 20:1-3 and Rev 20:7. Note: This pit inside the Earth can be considered bottomless, if it goes thru the center of the Earth, because due to gravity you cant reach the other end of the pit, but are held in the middle of it. It is also very hot there!

2nd Woe

7 Thunders

Gods Mystery Finished

7 Trumpet Shelf Details (2 of 3) A voice from the four horns of the golden altar before God, said, "Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates." The four angels, who had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, were released to kill 1/3 of mankind. The army of the horsemen was 200,000,000; those who sat on the horses had breastplates of fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow; and the heads of the horses were like lions. By these three plagues (fire, smoke, and brimstone from their mouths) 1/3 of mankind are killed. Power is in their mouth and their tails; their tails are like serpents, having heads; and with them they do harm. But the rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and idols of gold, silver, brass, stone, and wood, which cant see, hear, or walk. Rev 10:1-6 Another mighty angel came from heaven, clothed with a cloud and a rainbow, his face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire. He had a little book open in his hand. And he set his right foot on the sea and his left on the land, and cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roars. When he cried out, 7 thunders uttered their voices but John is told not to write about the 7 thunders. The angel standing on the sea and the land raised up his hand to heaven and swore by Him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven, earth, and the sea along with all the things that are in those three, that there should be delay no longer. Rev 10:7 But in the days of the sounding of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, the mystery of God would be finished, as He declared to His servants the prophets.

Remarks & Placement Page 9 People still do not repent of their murders, sorceries, sexual immorality, or their thefts. Duration is not given, but the 6th Trumpet happens after the 5th Trumpet (the 1st Woe) and before the 7th Trumpet (the 3rd Woe).

Surprise is a very important military strategy that God also uses by not itemizing the 7 Thunders. These are before the 7th Trumpet and possibly during the 6th Trumpet (the 2nd Woe).

What is the Mystery of God? Per Eph 3:4-6 the mystery of Christ is now revealed by the Spirit: that Gentiles should be fellow heirs with the Jews. There are 7 Trumpets listed in Rev. The rapture in 1 Cor. 15:51,52 occurs at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. Mystery finishes here!

3rd Woe

7 Trumpet Shelf Details (3 of 3) Gods 2 witnesses, (the 2 olive trees and 2 lampstands standing before the God of the earth) prophesy 1260 days, in sackcloth. Fire comes from their mouths and kills their enemies who want to harm them. They have power to shut heaven, so no rain falls during their prophecy; and power over waters to turn them to blood, and to strike the earth with all plagues, as often as they desire. The beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit makes war against them and kills them when their testimony is complete. Their dead bodies lie in the street of the great city where our Lord was crucified. Then those from the peoples, tribes, tongues, and nations will see their dead bodies 3 and 1/2 days, and dont allow their bodies to be put into graves. They rejoice over them, make merry, and send gifts to one another, because these 2 prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth. After 3 and 1/2 days the breath of life from God entered them, and they stood on their feet, and great fear fell on those who saw them. They heard a loud voice from heaven saying, "Come up here." And they ascended to heaven in a cloud, and their enemies saw them. In the same hour there was a great earthquake, and 1/10 of the city fell. In the earthquake 7,000 people are killed, and the rest were afraid and gave glory to the God of heaven. Loud voices in heaven saying, "The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!" The 24 elders who sit before God on their thrones fell on their faces and worshiped God, saying: "We give You thanks, O Lord God Almighty, The One who is and who was and who is to come, Because You have taken Your great power and reigned Your wrath has come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, And that You should reward Your servants the prophets and the saints, And those who fear Your name, small and great, And should destroy those who destroy the earth"

Remarks & Placement 1260 days = 3.5 years

Page 10

They start their work 6 months prior to the middle of the 7 year period and finish at the end of the 6th Trumpet (the 2nd Woe). They are taken to Heaven before the 7th angel blows his trumpet (the 3rd Woe). Jerusalem is where they die and are raised to life. The 2nd woe is past. Behold the 3rd woe is coming quickly.

God gets down to business with His temple being open in heaven, the ark of His covenant is seen in His temple, and there are lightnings, noises, thunderings, an earthquake, and great hail. Only the last 1/2 of time (~6 months) are described in the Greek New Testament as the Wrath of God. Remember 1 Thess 5:9 For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, The Greek word for wrath or-yee is seen only 6 times in Rev. 6:16,17, 11:18, 14:10, 16:19, and 19:15.

The rivers and springs of water became blood, because they shed the blood of saints and prophets this is their just due. The sun scorches men with fire. And men were scorched with great heat, and they blasphemed the name of God who has power over these plagues; and they did not repent and give Him glory. the throne of the beast, and his kingdom became full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues because of the pain. They blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and sores, and did not repent of their deeds. The great river Euphrates dries up, so the way for the kings from the east might be prepared. 3 unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouths of the dragon, the beast, and the false prophet. They are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. "Behold, I am coming as a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his garments, lest he walks naked and they see his shame. And they gathered them together to the place called in Hebrew, Armageddon. And a loud voice came out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, "It is done!" And there were noises and thunderings and lightnings; and a great earthquake, such a mighty and great earthquake as had not occurred since men were on the earth. Now the great city was divided into 3 parts, and the cities of the nations fell. And great Babylon was remembered before God, to give her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath. Then every island fled away, and mountains* were not found. And great hail from heaven fell upon men, each hailstone about the weight of a talent.

Remarks & Placement Page 12 God marks those that rebel against Him with a mark that cant be missed. Salt water turns to thick blood and stinks. Fresh water turns to blood. No repentance is seen in Revelation chapters 15 and 16!

The 2nd time men blaspheme God in chapter 16.

China with her 200,000,000 man army can now come to the Holy Land via land for the battle of Armageddon, in the heart of the land of Israel.

Men blasphemed God for the 3rd time in chapter 16, because of the exceedingly great hail plague. *This aligns with Rev 6:14 (the 6th Seal) which led to the conclusion that the book of Revelation was not written in a linear format but is written similar to the four gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John). Each series of the sevens (i.e. seals, trumpets, and bowls) provides more details on the events occurring in the 70th week of Daniel.

Page 14 Summary: 1st Shelf Daniels 70th Week (required background for the other shelves) 2nd Shelf 7 Seals 3rd Shelf 7 Trumpets 4th Shelf 7 Bowls of Wrath Fold up a copy of page 13 and put it in your Bible as a handy reference. Conclusion with 2 questions: But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive. But each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ's at His coming. Then comes the end I Corinthians 15:20-24 The Bible clearly identifies only 3 resurrections where those resurrected (i.e. brought back to life) dont die again: A. Christ the Firstfruits (Matt 27:49-53) which includes Christ and saints already dead B. The 1st Resurrection (Rev 20:4-7) for those who belong to Christ. It includes those coming from the Great Tribulation (Rev 7:9-17). It must also include the living, the surviving saints that are caught up (i.e. raptured) with the dead saints to meet the Lord in the air (1 Thess 4:13-18) as this is the 1st resurrection, after Christ the Firstfruits. C. The Rest of the Dead (Rev 20:5,13) after the 1,000 year rule of Christ is complete. We pray that you will be a member of the 1st Resurrection and not part of the Rest of the Dead. Jesus Christ died to be the propitiation (Gk. mercy seat) for the sins of the whole world (1 John 2:2) and not just for the elect. Question 1. Do you have the witness of 2 or 3 Bibles references that support your view of the resurrection you are building your life around?______ We hope so for your sake and for those that might be following you. If not, you may want to prayerfully review this bookcase and look up all the scripture references. 2 Tim 2:15 Question 2. Are you preparing for difficult days ahead?______ Pray about following Josephs advice to put aside 20% in the good years to be ready for the 7 bad years (Gen 41: 30-36). God has again revealed what is coming for a reason, just like Joseph in Egypt, to rescue people.
