Jesus returns at the 6th seal for a harvest. He sends His angels to gather the elect. Does this look like Armageddon?

Matthew 24
31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
Matthew 24:31 is after Jesus has destroyed the kings of the earth armies that will have gathered at Armageddon to make war on Him and His army.

Matthew 24
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
Matthew 24:29 is the sixth seal event.

You are (mis) understanding the phrase "tribulation of those days" to mean that the entire great tribulation is over at that point.

There will still be great tribulation following the sixth seal event, such as the rape and pillage of Jerusalem in Zechariah 14:2. Plus all of the armies that Jesus will destroy, resulting in the great feast in Revelation 19:17-18.

Revelation 19:
17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;

18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.

Here is a chart I made of the "tribulation of those days" and the "great tribulation". And the 45 day difference between the two.

And the sixth seal event to happen on day 2475. And the 7th vial poured out right before Jesus descends to the earth.

There has to be some time for the kings of the earth to assemble their armies at Armageddon to prepare to make war on Jesus and His army. That's where the 45 days come in. 1335 days - 1290 days.

Vs 29 and 30 is after the7 years when Jesus comes in power and great glory.
The same thing as in Rev 19.
Jesus comes in power and great glory only as a warrior and conqueror AFTER THE 7 YR GT.

The great tribulation will be the last 1335 days of the 7 year 70th week of Daniel 9:27.

This is the end of the great tribulation...

Nope. Matthew 24:31 is the harvest which occurs at the 6th seal.

Here is another view of this harvest. The earth is reaped. The righteous go to heaven for the marriage supper and the unrighteous are cast into the wrath of God. This another view of the 6th seal.

Revelation 14
14 And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.

15 And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.

16 And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.

17 And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.

18 And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.

19 And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.

Matthew 24:29 is the sixth seal event.

You are (mis) understanding the phrase "tribulation of those days" to mean that the entire great tribulation is over at that point.
The entire great tribulation IS OVER at that point................IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE TRIBULATION.

Jesus comes for a harvest at the 6th seal. We see those that came out of great tribulation in heaven in Revelation 7.

Revelation 7
13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?

14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

We get another view with what occurs at the 6th seal with the harvest in Rev 14. We see those that had gotten victory over the beast. They are in heaven and will be at the marriage supper of the Lamb.

Revelation 15
2 And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.

3 And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.

There will still be great tribulation following the sixth seal event, such as the rape and pillage of Jerusalem in Zechariah 14:2. Plus all of the armies that Jesus will destroy, resulting in the great feast in Revelation 19:17-18.
No. There will not be tribulation after the 6th seal. The tribulation is over. Then the 7th seal opened and the wrath of God begins. Tribulation is when the dragon is trying to kill Christians. It is cut short or there would be no believers on earth that would be raptured alive.

The great tribulation is not the wrath of God. Zechariah 14:2 occurs during the wrath of God as the tribulation is over.


Revelation 19:
17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;

18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.
This is Armageddon which occurs at the end of Gods wrath.

Gods' wrath, the 7th seal, lasts one year before Armageddon occurs.

The tribulation of those days IS the great tribulation.
And the 45 day difference between the two.

Impossible Doug.

The wrath of God according to scripture LAST ONE YEAR, and then Armageddon occurs.

You just completely miss the 7th seal.
