Yes they are and we too are warned to get under cover. Isaiah 26:20-21


It says they want the rocks to fall on them so it's not taking cover but trying to get killed.

Rev 6:15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
Rev 6:16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:

It will shine brightly red from two effects;

Scripture says the moon will be dark, not bright. Did you know the moon reflects the light of the sun and when the sun goes dark, so does the moon? People have known this for ages.


That's you getting it wrong twice in a row. This is a perfect example of one forcing their beliefs onto scripture when scripture says something completely different than claimed.

I have to think that you have some kind of mental barrier, a blockage that makes you incapable of discerning the Truths of the Prophetic Word. Isaiah 29:9-12 tells us about people who confuse themselves by believing false teachings. [the word translated 'amaze' in the KJV is correctly rendered as: confuse' in the REB]

The people are asking the mountains and the rocks to hide them.
Scripture says the moon will be dark, not bright
I have clearly stated to you the two separate events; The forthcoming Lord' Day of Firey wrath and the Day of the glorious Return of Jesus.
The moon shining bright red on the terrible Day of the Lord's wrath and the moon being darkened when Jesus Returns.

Please acknowledge these Truths.

But that is wrong. There is one time, one day when that happens and it is the day Christ returns. But you will say, "it says BEFORE". Before has two meanings including "going before a judge" which is not before in time but right then and there to FACE the judge.


Joel 2:31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.

This means to come BEFORE a judge which would be at that very time, right in front, or to FACE a judge.

Here is the same word being used, and its clear it is not "before" as in previous


Ezekiel 43:24 And thou shalt offer them BEFORE the LORD, and the priests shall cast salt upon them, and they shall offer them up for a burnt offering unto the LORD.


That means to offer them TO the lord, or TO his FACE, which means to come to him directly and offer. Same word and meaning in Joel.
You err because you call the return of the Lord the great and terrible day of the Lord. It is not- it is the 70th week of Daniel, the time of Jacobs trouble, the tribulation and several other titles used to describe the last 7 year period.

Jesus return is not at the sixth seal. Jesus returns and the antichrist and the armies of the world have gathered to battle Him.

But your premise is wrong, as the people say: Hide us from the face of the One who sits on the Throne....... Revelation 6:16
They all take shelter as they see their doom approaching.
The Sixth Seal event is at least 10 years before Jesus Returns. You re-arrange Revelation to make it at the Return. Bad you.
Well you do not pay attention to the many times I have written. I do not put the sixth seal at Jesus return, I put the sixth seal at the commencement of the 70th week of Daniel commonly known as the tribulation. that is based on the numerous passages that describe the 70th week of Daniel and Gods wrath being poured out on earth.
Plainly and evidently wrong.
The sun does darken at the Return, but the moon will not give its light.... Matthew 24:29

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:

30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

You need to read the bible and pay attention when you do.
The moon only glows bright red one time; at the Sixth Seal Day of the Lord's fiery wrath, Joel 2:31, Revelation 6:12
The moon will be red before the Lord strikes the earth, for just a few hours, as the huge mass of superheated hydrogen ejected from the sun travels toward the earth.
This terrible disaster will set the scene for all the Prophesied things to happen, leading up to the glorious Return. When all the wrath of Gid will be over. Revelation 15:1

Your ignorance of science is almost as bad as your ignorance of Scripture. A CME will not produce a blood moon (which by the way we have had hundreds since Jesus was here the first time).

A blood moon occurs when the earth eclipses the sun and the light from the sun is refracted and the moon appears blood red.

Solar flares – Coronal Mass Ejections

The sun – our life sustainer, emits a continuous stream of heat in the form of charged particles, otherwise known as the solar wind. The sun is actually a pulsating star and this creates a variable energy output. This variation in energy has not been so great as to cause serious problems on earth, although ice ages and heat waves have been felt in the past.

Because the sun, and all the solar system rotates around its centre of gravity every 11.1 years, this spin orbit coupling means that the solar plasma [liquid surface] circulates with it, producing an 11.1 year solar cycle. Due to planetary pull at alignments plus an acceleration and deceleration process, there is a time of increased solar flare activity, now, in 20122, numbered as Solar cycle 25. In the past this has been evidenced by aurora displays, and research indicates slightly warmer temperatures are due to solar flares. Because, in the lead up to Solar Cycle 25, there have been very few flares, we have experienced exceptionally cold winters over the past few years.

In September of 1859, the entire earth was engulfed in a cloud of super charged gas and a brilliant aurora erupted from the poles to the tropics. Around the world, telegraph systems failed, switch gear burst into flames and operators were shocked. Compasses and other instruments reeled as if struck by a massive magnetic fist.

Another, much smaller CME, struck Quebec in 1989, damaging their electricity grid.
All satellite operators are ready to shut down their services as soon as a CME is reported, as are communications, airlines, electricity suppliers, etc, in the hope of saving their equipment. [and staff!!!]

Sunspots, recorded up to 37,000 km in diameter, appear as dark spots on the surface of the sun. There is a strong magnetic field within each sunspot and they flare out in conjunction with another sunspot, so the ejection has North/ South polarity. In other words it is a mass with a magnetic field, the same as our planet. In conjunction with increased magnetic activity, more ultra violet energy is emitted, therefore the sun shines brighter and hotter.
Reference; various sources

As we read in Isaiah 30:26-28 ...the Lord Himself comes from afar, His anger blazing and His doom heavy, His tongue a devouring fire. He sieves out the nations for destruction. The sun will shine with seven times its normal brightness and the moon will shine as bright as the sun, on the Day the Lord heals His people. Malachi 4:1, Psalms 50:1-4

This description, along with many other prophecies, can only be explained literally by a CME. In no way does it fit the judgement on the armies of the Anti Christ that Jesus destroys by the sword of His Word, at the Return.

This enormous solar flare will be something ‘the like has never been known, nor will be in the ages to come’ Joel 2:2.

Jeremiah 51:52-57 A time is coming when I shall punish the idols and godless peoples of Babylon [a metaphor for all peoples who deny God] Sounds of great destruction come from their land, the advancing wave booms and roars, like mighty waters. For the Lord, a God of retribution, will repay in full. Jeremiah 25:30-33, Isaiah 5:24-30, Isaiah 24:19-20, 2 Peter 3:7

No, it may be a unique CME or solar flare, not literally be one. Even your own explanation shows so.

A solar flare is an eruption like a VOLCANO ON THE SUN. IN ORDER FOR TEH SUN TO SHINE 7 TIMES BRIGHTER AND THE MOON TO REFLECT AS BRIGHT AS THE SUN, WE WOULD NEED MORE THAN JUST A SOLAR FLARE.

CME's do not necessarily make the sun look brighter, but cause great disturbances in the magnetic field protecting the earth (hence the auroras seen in places not usual.)

That the Lord WILL instigate an explosion on the suns surface, is clear from the over 100 Prophesies about what will happen on that sudden and terrible Day. Knowing this, will be a help to us, as we are told on that Day to; Call upon the Name of the Land and we shall be saved.
That is: protected as the three men in the furnace were; Isaiah 43:2, Psalms 23. 37, 91, 2 Peter 2:9

I your objection to this, because it doesn't suit your paradigm? How do you think the end times will commence?
But first, before just dismissing the idea of a CME, google it and try to learn just what a threat a big one, does pose to the earth.

Okay give us just 25 of those over 100 prophecies.

I recognize a CME can massively increase heat on earth if it destroys the electro-magnetic field that surrounds the earth. But that would means death. Revelation does not say that the increased heat causes a maa extinction but people gnawing their tongues in pain.

Also a CME will not cause the sun to brighten 7 time brighter than normal. It is simply an explosion on the suns surface that cause a mass ejection to erupt off the surface at speed. It can harm the electro-magnetic field, and possibly allows x-rays and microwaves to breakthrough.

You still haven't really found out the effects of a big Coronal Nass Ejection. They DO explode with a bright flash and the one the Lord will instigate will flash 7times as bright as normal; Isaiah 39:26a
The fire is alight, nothing will stop it coming to earth 2 Esdras 16:15 [Bible Apocrypha]

The following 117 Bible verses describe the literal effects of the Coronal Mass Ejection that the Lord will use to carry out His prophesied Day of vengeance and wrath against His enemies, the godless peoples and nations that attack the State of Israel. It will strike earth at midday, Zephaniah 2:4 and virtually depopulate the entire Middle East. Ezekiel 30:1-5, Zephaniah 1:14-18, Hebrews 10:27, +

1/ LIGHT -The initial light flash arrives from the sun within 8 minutes.

Isaiah 13:13...and the earth will be moved out of her place.



7/ COSMC PARTICLES – This CME will hit with a great pressure wave. Previous CME’s have pushed satellites into lower orbits, this one will make them crash back to earth. This cannot refer to real stars, as the nearest one is 4¼ light years away and they are of enormous size.

8/ ELECTRICAL EFFECTS – The supercharged particles will cause extreme voltage flow in all the electric power supply systems, telephone wires as well as fences and pipelines, etc. Transformers and switchgear will be destroyed. Any appliances connected to the grid, even if switched off, will burn out. Most telephone and radio communications will be out of action for a long time. Modern vehicles, aircraft and ships will be inoperable.

You still haven't really found out the effects of a big Coronal Nass Ejection. They DO explode with a bright flash and the one the Lord will instigate will flash 7times as bright as normal; Isaiah 39:26a
Ah Yes I have. I regularly watch videos on solar activity.

But it is not a
CME that will be seven times according to Gods Word- it is the sun.

A CME even if it a huge one still will only brighten a fraction of a % of the suns surface. If the CME was say 10% of the surface of the sun that faces us, and the force of the ejection was large to extreme- all life on eearth would be wiped out and even that mega huge sized CME would not brighten the suns surface 7 times!
Isaiah 30:26a, Joel 2:31, Rev 6:12b The moon will shine blood red, as brightly as the sun. This will be the thermoluminescent reaction of superheated hydrogen and the lunar regolith. [moon dust]
Wrong wrong wrong. Blood moons happen when the earth eclispes the moon! You also need to study how light waves work and react. There is no testable hypothesis that says superheated hydrogen and moon dust can cause a blood moon.

As for your verses? Likie hollywood, you have taken enormous license with the Word of God to draw your conclusion about a CME.

BTW a CME is not fire but massive electromagnetic activity with all the bands of radiation!

The people who are raptured survived the GT, and they are a small group not a group that cannot be counted. The multitude in Rev 7 are all of the saved in the eternity in the new Earth. It has nothing to do with any time or events of this old Earth and does not support Jesus leaving heaven after opening the 6th seal. He goes no where until the 7th trump.
That group is already there in heaven serving God day and night in His temple. That has been ongoing since the Cross. Every day a soul or many have left earth from great tribulation, over the last 1993 years, as presented in Matthew 24:5-14. That is coming out of great tribulation, over a long period of time. That started with Stephen being stoned. What happens at the 5th Seal, is all those people are glorified and put on those robes of white. That scene John sees has been ongoing since Resurrection Sunday. John just arrived at the 6th Seal to see them. Not that they all arrived at the 6th Seal.

Those alive on the earth at the 6th Seal join this multitude already in Paradise. That is why the church is no longer on the earth. The rapture and Second Coming are the 5th and 6th Seal. But Jesus as King touched down on the Mount of Olives at the 6th Seal, while the church was seen in Paradise with the Lord God. The 7th Seal being opened caused silence in heaven, because Jacob's trouble is about to start on the earth, where the angels bring the sheep and goats to Jerusalem during the Trumpets to be judged. All the angels came to earth at the 6th Seal. So no stars were seen, nor making a sound in the firmament/heaven. The firmament just dissolved per 2 Peter 3. Fire just burned up all the works on the earth. Those on earth were hiding in caves and under all the rubble.

That is why it was silent in heaven.

"And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon. And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon."

Jesus took the Lamb's book of life to earth. He has it to remove the names of the goats, as they are being cast into the LOF. Not sure why you think Jesus and the Lamb's book of life are stuck in heaven at the Second Coming. The Second Coming is when Jesus comes to earth. He brings the book with Him, because He is the only one who can use the Lamb's book of life. He opens the 7th Seal after the throne, and temple are set up in Jerusalem.

The calculation of 1000 divided by 48 gives us a heavenly half-hour of about 20 earth years. But that is only the centre of a range of years possible because it is "about" a half-hour.
Imagine you had a conversation with someone for 30 minutes, going back and forth speaking at about 200 words/min.
Now take that same conversation in heaven and have it. The time would be the same. Time just isn't "measured" in heaven by a clock ( earth's and sun's rotation); but there is no reason to expect that time passes moment by moment in heaven into eternity to be much different. We will look back into eternity past with a memory of things we did and conversations. We just won't count hours, days or years, they will not exist nor will we value time per se. We will value experiences and our relationships.
1 day to GOD is like a 1000 years - in His mind only. He is omniscient.

Imagine, as you do: that the Bible Prophecy is purely fiction as has no value or bears no relation to us today.
You make the Seventh Seal into a meaningless non event. Not wise!

Eternity is different, of course, but the Seventh Seal will happen during our normal earthly time.
It will be for about 20 years, which fits very well with what is Prophesied to happen between then and the glorious Return of Jesus.

I think the 7th Seal, when removed allowed Jesus to open the scroll and find out the details inside, (which we've known for 1900 years.) I think it is like a rocket that travels up into the sky, explodes and seven trumpets are blown rapidly and the last one releases Bowls also rapidly. Many of the events overlap and accumulate, like a war starts small and builds up to a climax, famine, death, fire, pestilence as well We are shown different vantage points. Some events happenned suddenly, like an earthquake, the rapture. But all within the 3 1/2 year time frame.
Eternity is different, of course, but the Seventh Seal will happen during our normal earthly time.
It will be for about 20 years,
So you are saying the 1/2 hour silence (pause) in heaven translates into 20 years down here? Does that power effect women btw? Lol.

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 Genesis speaks of ‘6 days’ of creation, it seems more logical that they were actually 1000 year periods, or allegorically pointing to God’s 7000 year Plan for the earth.

We have a date for the completion of the 6000 year era of mankind’s rule, obtained from the careful addition of the given Biblical time periods and the commencement of Jesus’ ministry in 29/30 AD. Luke 3:1 2

The three tranches of 2000 years: Adam to Abraham, Abraham to Jesus. The first Advent to the glorious Return, then the thousand year Millennium reign of King Jesus. Gods 7000 year Plan for Mankind on the physical earth.

It had been assumed that the ‘half hour’ starts soon after the Sixth Seal and finishes at the commencement of the Trumpet and Bowl punishments of the Great Tribulation. That is: 3½ years before the Return. But the Sixth Seal commences the Wrath of God and the Lamb, Rev. 6:17, then we see it isn’t until the completion of the Great Tribulation, that the Wrath of God is finished. Revelation 15:1

The calculation of 1000 divided by 48 gives us a heavenly half-hour of about 20 earth years. But that is only the centre of a range of years possible because it is "about" a half-hour.

Calculating the range of years is based upon statistical rules: Since the text tells us a half-hour, we examine the next divisible time period which is a quarter-hour. We simply find the distance between 30 minutes and 15 minutes (above and below) and find the half-way points. This gives us +/- 5 centred on 20 years. Therefore the range is from 15 years to 25 years. If the actual year is outside of this range, then the Revelation account would have read "about a quarter of an hour” or “about three-quarters of an hour." But, Revelation says "about a half-hour." Thus we know it can't be outside the range of 15 to 25 years (including anything in between) otherwise "about an half-hour" would be wrong .

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.

It all fits and I see the Hand of God in it.
There are only 3.5 years available for the Antichrist and Tribulation.

The LORD said HE will shorten those days for us who are Blood Washed Saints = His Elect = Matthew 25:21-22

"For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be.
And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened."

Follow the Words of God = Revelation 10:7

"but in the days of the sounding of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, the mystery of God would be finished, as He declared to His servants the prophets."

Your view of the end times, is wrong. When all the things Prophesied from the Sixth Seal to the glorious Return are considered, there must be a much longer period than 3 1/2 years involved. That time period is just the period when Satan will have control over the world. Revelation 13, his 42 months.
The half hour in heaven, is not the same as a 1/2 hour on earth, which is 1/48th of a day. We know that to God in heaven a day equals a thousand years of earth time, so 1/48th of a thousand years is- about 20 years of earth time. Logical and what will happen.
There are only 3.5 years available for the Antichrist and Tribulation.

The LORD said HE will shorten those days for us who are Blood Washed Saints = His Elect = Matthew 25:21-22
Sure, and we are told where those faithful people will be during that 1260 day period. Revelation 12:6 & 14
Those days may be shortened for the Christians who must remain; Revelation 12:17

A day is "like" a 1000 years and 1000 years like a day >>> to the Lord, in His mind. Omniscience is a concept, that must exist outside of our concept of time We can say one mile is like 1000 too >>> to the Lord because only He is omnipresent. This also mess was withbour concept of distance/ location. But it doesn't mean that the spiritual realm is much different from moment to moment. They just don't conceive or measure time as we do. They don't value time when they have eternity, there is plenty of it.

I thought you believed what the Bible tells us. I was mistaken, your interpretation is to make something like Psalms 90:4 and 2 Peter 3:8, into a meaningless and useless nonsense.
We also know that 'day', as used in Hosea 6:2, refers to thousand year periods. We have the benefit of hindsight, of the past two thousand years, when we were revived by the Gospel and after Jesus Returns; we will live in His Presence.

I agree that this formula for time on earth and in heaven, will not apply in the Eternal state; after the Millennium. You wrongly conflate the present state with Eternity.
