Some of it true. Other parts are based on Jewish mysticism.

The real 7 Signs of the end leading up to Christ's future return are the Signs He gave in His Olivet discourse (Matthew 24; Mark 13). They are more general of course, but they directly parallel the Seals of Revelation 6 about the end.

And those Signs Jesus gave doesn't include the coming of a pope to sit over the whole world in Jerusalem. So that theory is from the old Protestant Reformers and denominations like the Jew's Seventh Day Adventist church, which follows the visions of a woman named Ellen White.

There are many End Time signs, plainly visible to those who are aware and spiritually awake. But, 7 signs stand out from the rest. They give us a clue for the timing of the Rapture, and the beginning of the 7 year Tribulation.

7 Signs of the Master’s Return
That is such a long and drawn out article including so much commentary, the point is lost. Typical clanging cymbals.

Be concise and the signs are clear.

yes Jesus did give us signs mentioned in Matthew 24, Mark 13 & Luke 21, but some people think we are still in the birth pangs & that they will intestify as Jesus return draws near, there are some pastors who think the 7 seals & the 4 horsemen are happening right now, then there are others who think the 7 trumpets are blowing, it all depends on what view of the end times you believe in

Interesting. One popular sign may or may not be the date of His return: "As in the days of Noah, so shall will it be also in the days of the coming of the Son of Man ..."
The Flood of Noah began on second month, 17th day, which is Iyar 17 or Cheshvan 17? Nissan is supposed to be the first month but then the day of creation is celebrated in the fall - so which it? According to the Torah the second month is Iyar, so I'll go with that. Iyar 17 would be May 8, 2023, or whatever year after that.
So if this is part of the message, the actual day of His coming, the day the flood began. Was that part of the message from scripture? Not sure. Scripture also says He would come at night when it was dark and it He would light the sky.

It should... depend on what is actually written in God's Word, and not... what we'd like to believe. It's important that the Bible student first be aware of how they can be misled, either by their own lack of Bible study, or by heeding doctrines of men.

It is common for those who open up Christ's Book of Revelation in study and think the events happen in the order that John saw them and wrote them down. But that is not entirely accurate.

What Christ's Olivet discourse shows us is that there are only 7 Signs of the end, the last Sign being that of His coming and gathering of His faithful Church. And since the Seals in Revelation 6 follows the very order of those 7 Signs He gave in Matthew 24 and Mark 13, reveals something deeper.

It reveals the 7 Seals, 7 Trumpets, and 7 Vials are actually only about those same 7 Signs. And when we look at the last Sign in His Olivet discourse, that of His future coming, we see that last Sign is also the 6th Seal, the 7th Trumpet, and the 7th Vial timing. (the 7th Seal I see as a statement of completion, much like how the word 'Selah' is used in the Psalms).

Now I can't give a play-by-play with all those Seals, Trumpets, and Vials linked together, but I can with the very last ones that point to the day of Christ's future return and His cup of wrath being poured out upon the wicked, and the heavens rolling up like a scroll, and the hills and mountains and islands passing away.

Thus Christ's coming is on 777.
