The final week begins with a 7-year covenant being made with many.
That does not mean that the Church is not here when that covenant is made. As to what the scripture says, Noah is not in the ark 7 days before the flood and the Church will not be in heaven before the final 7 year period begins. Secondly, the Antichrist will not receive His crown until after the Church is in heaven. Once the Church is in heaven the seals can be opened.
As for the 7 years being the time of Jacobs trouble, one of the years of the 7 year period is the ONE YEAR wrath of God. The seed of the woman, the twelve tribes across the earth, will be raptured at the 6th seal and then the one year of God begins. I think there is also more time after this for atonement, judgement, Temple mount cleansing etc.
As for the woman, Israel, she will be in a place of protection through the great tribulation and will remain on the earth during the wrath of God.
Rev 6 only contains 6 seals and not the one year 7th seal.
Correct. However, the Church will not be in heaven when the 7 year period begins as Noah was not in the ark 7 days before the flood.
The 1st seal is the 7th king who is the beast of the earth. The second coming occurs at the 6th seal. Then 7th seal one year of wrath and then the second advent as Jesus sets His feet on the Mount of Olives
The 7 seals are in order. The 7th seal is the wrath of God which contains the 7 trumpets of wrath. It's all over at the 7th trumpet. Armageddon is over and Jesus has returned to earth. And then the judgement. That covers Revelation 6-11. You could stop right there. It's all done. You don't need Revelation 13-16 to know the story.
If you want another view of seals 1 thru 6 with different information that can be seen in Rev 13 and 14. Rev15 is another view of the time period of Revelation 7 and the first part of Rev 8.
If you want another view of the 7th seal wrath of God with different information, that would be Revelation 16.
Revelation is written like Genesis 7. In Genesis 7 we get three views of Noah loading the animals and three views of the flood. He only loads them once and there is only one flood. In Revelation we get two views of seals 1-6 and two views of the 7th seal wrath of God.
Why would I need to dodge?
What percentage of Christians believe in Post Trib? Let's just pull a number. 49.9995%
What percentage of Christians believe in Pre Trib? Again, hypothetical number. 49.9994%
The leaves a hypothetical percentage of .0001% that understand there are two raptures.
And you are one of those and I can't get you to see that the tribulation is over when the sun and moon are darkened and the stars from heaven. And when the 6th seal is opened the sun and moon are darkened and the stars fall from heaven. THEREFORE, the tribulation is over at the 6th seal. I have no idea why this is so confusing.
I am posting scripture.
It shows that the tribulation is over at the 6th seal. Undeniable.
It shows that there are only 3.5 years remaining in the 70th week of Daniel. FACT. Jesus arrives as Messiah after 69 weeks and then is cut of 3.5 years later. That leaves 3.5 weeks.
It shows the Church is not in heaven before the final week begins.
All I can do is post the scripture. It's there for you to accept or reject.
I have dodged nothing brother. Stop getting offended so easily and post scripture that proves what I saying is wrong. It can't be done, because there is no scripture that disproves scripture.

Rev 6
11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
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;
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:
17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
The 6th seal is the second coming in power.
The seals are an overview of the 7 yr trib.
Jacobs trouble.
Why are you bucking scripture?
It is scripture you are disagreeing with.
You started wrong by trying to claim wrath and great trib vs Trib are some strict separation that allows you to reinvent the timeline.
It becomes a problem in that you are now claiming rev14:14 (Jesus sitting on a cloud) ,is no different than when he actually returns in power and great glory.
IOW ..you need Rev 14; 14 to be a totally different picture. ( a return TO EARTH in power and great glory).
That alone should stop you.
But you gloss over it.
ONLY REV 19 ...THE SECOND COMING ...is in power and great glory.
That is scripture.
All my posts are scripture.
Stop claiming scripture, as if only you have verses, and I am outside of scripture.
It is scripture that proves you are wrong.
