Tribulation Outtakes

● Luke 21:25 . .There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth,
nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the
sea.

I'd imagine that folks obsessed with climate change would find the roaring
and tossing of the sea a useful political advantage. But of course down the
road when that actually takes place, climate change will likely lose much of
the popularity it currently enjoys as people will no doubt be far more
interested in survival than politics.

● Luke 21:25 . . Men will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming
on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken.

That will be a very dangerous time for elder citizens as anxiety attacks can
be fatal to folks in advanced age.

Luke 21:26-26, is a direct parallel to the Sixth Seal worldwide disaster by fire, earthquakes, storms and tsunamis, caused by the Lord sending a huge Coronal Mass Ejection to strike the earth. Zephaniah 3:8, 2 Peter 3:7

Nobody needs to be anxious about what will happen, as those who trust in the Lord for their protection will be saved. Joel 3:32, Romans 10:13, Acts 2:21

● Rev 8:1 . . And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in
heaven about the space of half an hour.

A reason for the silence isn't given, but I suspect the one in charge will be
thinking about what he has to do next, and reluctant to bring it on; because
the next round will be devastating beyond belief-- and once started, won't
be stopped.

● Ezek 18:23 . . Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die-- saith
the Lord God --and not that he should return from his ways, and live?

Revelation 8:1 When the Lamb broke the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about a half hour.

We are clearly told that the ‘about a half hour’, is in heaven. Time in heaven is not and cannot be the same as earthly time, heaven doesn’t rotate or orbit the sun. God is eternal, His ways are not our ways. Anyway, the Bible informs us twice that one day in heaven is like [as] 1000 years on earth. Psalm 90:4 and 2 Peter 3:8
A half hour in heaven equals 20.8 earth years.

Therefore if, as seems likely, if the Sixth Seal – the great and terrible Day of the Lord, happens very soon – then the Seventh Seal follows immediately afterwards. So that will be the period of ‘silence in heaven’ but of tumult and huge changes on earth!

A lot must happen during that time – the regeneration of the Land, many prophesies about that – the Lord will send rain. Then the gathering, and settling of His people, again many prophecies – houses rebuilt, land productive... The selection of the 144,000, The Gog Magog attack and 7 years clean up. The treaty with the Anti-Christ, the AoD in the new Temple and 3½ years of the Great Tribulation. Then the glorious Return of Jesus about 20 years after the Sixth Seal.

● Rev 12:1 . . A great sign appeared in the sky, a woman clothed with the
Sun, with the Moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.

That sign is sometimes interpreted to indicate Jesus' mom; and I guess
that's okay if the Bible reader happens to be a Catholic. But it's far more
likely the sign is taken from Joseph's dream (Gen 37:9) which Jacob
interpreted as a reference to his clan, a.k.a. the people of Israel.

"When he told it to his father and his brothers, his father reproved him and
asked: What is the meaning of this dream of yours? Can it be that I and
your mother and your brothers are to come and bow to the ground before
you?" (Gen 37:10)

As the family's prophet, Jacob's inspired intuition instantly caught the
dream's message; although it did make him a bit indignant. However, the
olde boy didn't brush the dream aside because his prophetic insight told him
there just might be something to it

The mother element of the family of Israel consists of a composite unity
consisting of four biological moms-- Rachel, Leah, Bilhah and Zilpah. So the
logical conclusion is that the Moon's identity included all four women rather
than limited to Joseph's mom alone; who at the time was already deceased.

Anyway: I'm guessing that what we're told by the sign is that in spite of the
Dragon's best efforts, he has thus far failed to stop Christ from taking the
reins. In other words: Christ is still on track to return and no one can stop
him.

"She gave birth to a son, a male child, destined to rule all the nations with
an iron rod." (Rev 12:5a)

That would be a reference to the 2nd Psalm wherein Christ's opponents are
soundly mocked as air heads; so to speak.

NOTE: I was baptized an infant into Roman Catholicism; and in time sat thru
enough catechism to complete First Holy Communion and Confirmation.

Well; I must've been either asleep or absent the day when the nuns spoke of
Christ's return to conquer the world because I cannot remember ever once
hearing of it till I was 24 years old. The news was a shock not only because I
was taken by surprise, but also because I instinctively knew that were I to
stand before Christ for a face-to-face it would not go well for me because I
had a lot to answer for.
