The Lord ALONE is able and worthy to open the book and break its seals.
Revelation speaks of a book (or scroll) that is “written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.” (Rev. 5:1)
This book “contains the counsels of God for the blessing of the earth that will be brought about through judgment.” – B. Anstey
Each seal unlocks a new portion of the book.
The Book of Revelation fills in the details of Daniel’s seventieth week in a very orderly way.
Revelation is mainly focused on the effects that the coming judgements will have on the Revived Roman Empire (Christianized lands).
Old Testament prophecy focuses more on the effect of the coming judgements on Israel.

God’s Direct Judgments

6. Daniel 9: The most important chapter in prophecy
The Jewish Remnant
6. Some will remain in Jerusalem witnessing against Antichrist (the “two witnesses” of Rev. 11:1-14). They will be invincible until their testimony is complete, then they will be killed. Their bodies will lie in the streets of Jerusalem for 3.5 days, then they will be raised in the last installment of the first resurrection! These will be the last believers to die… EVER! See Rev. 14:14.
1. Some will go out and preach the gospel to the nation of Israel (Matt. 10).
5. Many will be martyred by the Antichrist and the apostate Jews in the last 3.5 years of the tribulation, for refusing to take the mark of the Beast. They will be hunted like dogs.
Family members will betray one another:
“Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom. For the son dishonoreth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law; a man's enemies are the men of his own house.” (Micah 7:5-6)
4. The majority will flee to the mountains across the Jordan in the middle of the week – at the Lord’s directions:
“When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) Then let them which be in Judea flee into the mountains: Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house, etc.” (Matt. 24:15-17)
They will be sheltered by faithful ones from the neighboring countries; e.g. Moab, see Isa. 16:3-4.
2. Some will take the Gospel of the Kingdom to the farthest reaches of the world! (Matt. 24:14)
3. Some will be martyred by the False Church in the first 3.5 years of the tribulation. “Killed for the testimony of Jesus.” Rev. 20:4.
7. A final group will remain in the city until the 1290 days. The king of the north will return from Egypt, and the remnant will leave the city going towards the mount of olives. The Lord’s feet will touch down on the mountain. The mountain will split in two… one half moving North, and the other south. They will run into that valley for safety while the Lord consumes their enemies with fire!
