Timeframe 4 - Great 3 ½ Year Christian Tribulation Period 6 seals opened – Rev 6 While the 6 seals of Rev 6 are being opened during the 3 ½ year Christian Tribulation Period the words of Jesus spoken in Matt 24 and Luke 21 concerning the same Christian tribulation period will be fulfilled Matt 24 and Luke 21

In Rev 4 we are introduced to the raptured church in heaven divided into groups of numerous saints symbolized by the 24 elders, the 4 Living ones. In Rev 5 Christ takes the 7 sealed book from the Father. In Rev 6 Christ opens the first 6 seals. Rev 6 also introduces us to another group of saints symbolized by the 4 horsemen. When we get to heaven after the rapture we will not see 24 elders, 4 living ones or 424 elders, the 4 Living onesrapture Ancient of Days Rev 5:1, Dan 7:9 Rev 4 Rev 5 Rev 6

horsemen but we will see and experience exactly what John is telling us will happen. The full meaning of what John saw can only be interpreted by the rules and wisdom God has already given us throughout His Holy Word which are consistent no matter where or when they are applied. Ancient of Days Rev 5:1, Dan 7:9 Rev 4 Rev 5 Rev 6 Rev 6 tells the story of how the raptured Christians in their resurrected bodies as the new powers of the air with Christ exercise these mighty changes and position to great advantage over Satan and his fallen angels. Satan and his angels are now on the earth and now no longer the dark powers of the air. The first six seals of the book are opened in heaven during the Great 3 1/2 year Christian Tribulation that is going on earth. During this same time there is great activity in heaven as the raptured Christians (4 horsemen) carry out their orders given to them by the 4 Living ones (Christian administrators) who in turn receive their orders from Christraptured

as He opens the seals. The action of the 4 horsemen carrying out their orders and the forces of nature seemingly out of control (yet God knows exactly what He is doing) greatly hinders the persecution of Antichrist on those after the rapture on earth that become Christians. The result of the 6 seals produces a mighty number of tribulation martyrs and saints to end the church age and the first resurrection.

Interpretation of the six seals of Rev 6 Rev 6: And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. 2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer. 3 And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see. 4 And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword. 5 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.

6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine. 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. 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. 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; 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. 14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. 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; 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:

17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand? Rev 6:1 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. Christ opens the 1st seal accompanied by what sounded like thunder. Thunder symbolizes the coming storm - the approaching judgment on all nations known as Day of the Lord - timeframe 5 when 7th seal is opened.Day of the Lord

One of the living ones (one of the raptured Christians from the group symbolized by the 4 living ones) told John to come and see - that is come and watch what happens when the seals are opened.
