What Are the Seven Seals of Revelation?

The Sixth Seal Is a Nuclear Holocaust

I watched as he opened the sixth seal. There changed into a superb earthquake. The sun turned black like sackcloth manufactured from goat hair, the complete moon turned blood purple, and the celebs in the sky fell to earth, as late figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by means of a robust wind. The sky receded like a scroll, rolling up, and each mountain and island turned into removed from its place. (Revelation 6:12-14)

here's John's description of nuclear holocaust.

"The earth rolls up like a scroll," is certainly a reference, from a primary-century viewpoint, of what nuclear explosions will appear to be. In a nuclear explosion, the ambiance actually rolls returned on itself. an incredible rush of air flows outward from the initial explosion developing a massive vacuum. it is the air flowing again into the vacuum which creates such destruction.

He writes, "Stars fell to earth." The Greek word "stars" here describes a meteor. Meteors strike the environment and glow fiery red. after they hit the earth, they pulverize grime and different substances that stay within the environment, shutting out the sun, for two or more years.

Nuclear winter effects. No sunshine equals no crops. individuals starve.

His description may additionally additionally follow to these days's "fractional orbital bombs." Nuclear-tipped missiles are fired simultaneously from orbiting satellites. These can strike a number of cities concurrently. When these missiles streak through the air, they will seem like meteors entering the ambiance.

seem to be at the human reaction.

Then the kings of the earth, the princes, the generals, the rich, the mighty, and each slave and each free man hid in caves and among the many rocks of the mountains. They referred to as to the mountains and the rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! For the notable day of their wrath has come, and who can stand?" (Revelation 6:15-17)

every strata of society is affected.

The ideal prayer assembly the area has ever considered takes location. You'd feel that people who persisted these items would eventually name upon the name of the Lord. in its place, they start praying to the rocks.

what is the result of all this shaking? Do americans turn to God? No! For some cause, their hearts are more durable! there is a lesson here.

I don't forget the family unit which known as me and said that their 78-year-old father would not get hold of Christ as his Savior. that they had shared the gospel with him on many activities without a success.

He changed into now within the clinic ready to die. They asked me if i would go to the hospital and share the gospel with him an additional time. I carefully led him during the gospel and invited him yet another time to come to Christ.

His response become chilling. He mentioned to me, "I have spoke of 'No' to Jesus so many times that I don't believe I might turn into a Christian even if i wanted to."

The Seventh Seal Represents Silence

When he opened the seventh seal, there changed into silence in heaven for approximately half an hour. (Revelation eight:1)

I accept as true with that once those in heaven saw the horror which become about to be unleashed in the world, their jaws fell open. They couldn't consider it! They stood in rapt silence. Then, the first trumpet blows.

What do you consider is occurring in God's heart?

God is having to damage the very introduction He made. it is breaking His heart.

there is an ancient rabbinic story in regards to the Israelites departing Egypt as the pink Sea break up so that they may pass on dry land. The Israelites make it throughout simply as the Egyptian military begun charging toward the Israelites with the purple Sea waters stacked up on both sides of them.

The angels in heaven are singing and happy and rejoicing as they watched the waters of the crimson Sea close lower back over the Egyptian armies.

Then, the angels appear over to look how God is responding. God is weeping.

well, Kaitlin,

i am hoping this gives you a fine figuring out concerning the nature of God and what happens when the seals are opened.

Love, Roger
