I agree as well, but the trumpets come after the seals. John saw the first two seals of Revelation 6:1-4 as covid19.
"Next I watched as the Lamb broke the first of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living beings say in a thundering voice, “Go!”
2 I looked, and there in front of me was a white horse; its rider had a bow and was given a crown; and he rode off as a conqueror to conquer.
3 When he broke the second seal, I heard the second living being say, “Go!”
4 Another horse went out, a red one; and its rider was given the power to take peace away from the earth and make people slaughter each other. He was given a great sword."
I am not so sure of the typical, progressive and chronological approach that most apply to Rev.
We are dealing with the Eternal Mind of God speaking in Revelations, who is and speaks in the past, present and future all at the same time.
In Rev., we see many things spoken of, that we know are in the past. Some things are now happening, and others, of which is Rev. 9, are immediately in our future or are not that far off.
For example: much confusion rules of how one should interpret "MBtG, tMoH".
I for one have run the gamut on all the speculations that are out there, and have become firmly seated in knowing that Jerusalem/the nation of Israel, is that "fallen woman". For all intent and purposes,
the "fallen woman" is being "CARRIED", and therefore does NOT "ride" the 10H Beast (KJV only).
In all of the NT scriptures, there are only two women that are spoken of symbolically and metaphorically:
1. Heaveny Jerusalem, which is above.
2. The Jerusalem which now is, on the earth.
For years, physical Jerusalem/Israel on earth, has remained to be nothing to speak of, but ever since the Banking Elite Rothchild family got involved with it, suddenly physical Israel/Jerusalem is raised up again. Really??
Have we forgotten God's words through Daniel of the 70 weeks, or is it more to the truth that MANY don't understand any of it, and therefore are misconstruing all of it?
Daniel 9:24-27
[
27] And
he (Jesus) shall confirm the
(New) covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week
he shall cause the
(temple) sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations
he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
Matthew 23[
37] O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
[
38]
Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
[
39] For I say unto you
(Jews), Ye shall not see (perceive) me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he
(Born again Christians) that
cometh (to you) in the name of the Lord.
