Prophecy Series VIISeals 2-6 and the Rapture
2
We covered the beginning of the 70th week of
Daniel and the rise of the antichrist three weeks
ago.This is the breaking of the first
seal.Today we will explore seals 2-6 and
discuss the Rapture of the Church.First, lets
finish our discussion on the antichrist
3
Rev 1712 "The ten horns which you saw are ten
kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but
they receive authority as kings with the beast
for one hour. Rev 1713 "These have one
purpose, and they give their power and authority
to the beast. 17 "For God has put it in their
hearts to execute His purpose by having a common
purpose, and by giving their kingdom to the
beast, until the words of God will be fulfilled.
Rev 131 And the dragon stood on the sand of
the seashore. Then I saw a beast coming up out of
the sea, having ten horns and seven heads, and on
his horns were ten diadems, and on his heads were
blasphemous names. 2 And the beast which I saw
was like a leopard, and his feet were like those
of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a
lion. And the dragon gave him his power and his
throne and great authority. 3 I saw one of his
heads as if it had been slain, and his fatal
wound was healed. And the whole earth was amazed
and followed after the beast
4
The antichrist will only have power for 3 and ½
years! This is the first half of the 70th week
of Daniel!Then the sixth seal is
brokenRevelation Chapter 6.The last half of
the 70th week of Daniel Gods wrath will be
unleashed on this planet, and no one will have
control.Rev 615 Then the kings of the earth
and the great men and the commanders (this
includes the antichrist)and the rich and the
strong and every slave and free man hid
themselves in the caves and among the rocks of
the mountains Rev 616 and they said to the
mountains and to the rocks, "Fall on us and hide
us from the presence of Him who sits on the
throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb Rev 617
for the great day of their wrath has come, and
who is able to stand?"

Rev. 135 There was given to him a mouth
speaking arrogant words and blasphemies, and
authority to act for forty-two months was given
to him. He has authority the first half only!

Martyrs
Mt. 247c-10 Rev. 67-8 Death by sword, hunger,

when those who refuse to receive the mark will
starve and be killed by the anti-christ. Rev.
137-10 Lk. 2116
Mt. 245 Rev. 61-2 Ten
nations give Anti- Christ powers. Anti-Christ
makes his 7 year covenant with Israel. 70th week
begins. Rev. 13 Rev. 11 Israel Rebuilds
their temple Rev. 112-6 Two witnesses prophesy
for 3.5 years.Likely Enoch and Elijah. (Mal.
45) or Moses and Elijah, both of whom were
reported in Jewish tradition as having been taken
up to God without dying. The LORDs secret burial
of Moses (Deut 346) led to the tradition that he
had not died but ascended Elijahs being
taken up is described in 2 Kings 21-12. Matt.
1113-15171112 John 121 (John was not Elijah
re-incarnated!) The two witnesses prophecy this
entire time until the 6th seal is broken.
Mt. 246-7a Rev. 63-4 3 of the 10 nations
refuse to give Anti-Christ power, he comes
against them with a sword and uproots

The Second seal - war
Revelation 63-4 When He broke the second seal,
I heard the second living creature saying,
"Come." (4) And another, a red horse, went out
and to him who sat on it, it was granted to take
peace from the earth, and that men would slay one
another and a great sword was given to
him. Matthew 246-8 "You will be hearing of
wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not
frightened, for those things must take place, but
that is not yet the end. (7) "For nation will
rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom
Dan 78 "While I was contemplating the horns,
behold, another horn, a little one, came up among
them, and three of the first horns were pulled
out by the roots before it and behold, this horn
possessed eyes like the eyes of a man and a mouth
uttering great boasts. Three nations will
oppose this one world government war breaks out!
10
The Third seal - Famine
Revelation 65-6 When He broke the third seal, I
heard the third living creature saying, "Come." I
looked, and behold, a black horse and he who sat
on it had a pair of scales in his hand. (6) And
I heard something like a voice in the center of
the four living creatures saying, "A quart of
wheat for a denarius (a days wage), and three
quarts of barley for a denarius and do not
damage the oil and the wine." Matthew 247b, and
in various places there will be famines This will
lead to the total collapse of the economy and the
start of the mark of the beast to buy and
sell Revelation 1315-17 And it was given to
him to give breath to the image of the beast, so
that the image of the beast would even speak and
cause as many as do not worship the image of the
beast to be killed. (16) And he causes all, the
small and the great, and the rich and the poor,
and the free men and the slaves, to be given a
mark on their right hand or on their forehead,
(17) and he provides that no one will be able to
buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark,
either the name of the beast or the number of his
name.

The Third seal - Famine

heard the third living creature saying, "Come." I
looked, and behold, a black horse and he who sat

I heard something like a voice in the center of

quarts of barley for a denarius and do not
damage the oil and the wine." Matthew 247b, and
in various places there will be famines This will
lead to the total collapse of the economy and the
start of the mark of the beast to buy and
sell Revelation 1315-17 And it was given to
him to give breath to the image of the beast, so
that the image of the beast would even speak and
cause as many as do not worship the image of the
beast to be killed. (16) And he causes all, the
small and the great, and the rich and the poor,
and the free men and the slaves, to be given a
mark on their right hand or on their forehead,
(17) and he provides that no one will be able to
buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark,
either the name of the beast or the number of his
name.
Rev. 1318 says the number is that of a man, six
hundred and sixty six. The European Union
Parliament has about 700 seats. Today, they have
filled about 640. They just added ten new
nations. Could seat 666 have something to do with
this?
12
The Fourth seal - Death
Revelation 67-8 When the Lamb broke the fourth
seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living
creature saying, "Come." (8) I looked, and
behold, an ashen horse and he who sat on it had
the name Death and Hades was following with him.
Authority was given to them over a fourth of the
earth, to kill with sword and with famine and
with pestilence and by the wild beasts of the
earth. Matthew 246-13 "You will be hearing of
wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not
frightened, for those things must take place, but
that is not yet the end. (7) "For nation will
rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom,
and in various places there will be famines
(famines always lead to more pestilence) and
earthquakes. (8) "But all these things are
merely the beginning of birth pangs. Pestilence
is sickness there are over 30 new diseases in
the world today since the 1960s! SARS is the
latest one.
13
The Fifth seal Christians killed
Revelation 69-11 When the Lamb broke the fifth
seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of
those who had been slain because of the word of
God, and because of the testimony which they had
maintained (10) and they cried out with a loud
voice, saying, "How long, O Lord, holy and true,
will You refrain from judging and avenging our
blood on those who dwell on the earth?" (11)
And there was given to each of them a white robe
and they were told that they should rest for a
little while longer, until the number of their
fellow servants and their brethren who were to be
killed even as they had been, would be completed
also. Matthew 24(9) "Then they will deliver you
to tribulation, and will kill you, and you will
be hated by all nations because of My name. (10)
"At that time many will fall away (The
Apostasy)and will betray one another and hate one
another. (11) "Many false prophets will arise
and will mislead many. (12) "Because
lawlessness is increased, most people's love will
grow cold. (13) "But the one who endures to the
end, he will be saved.

"Many false prophets will arise and will mislead
many. (12) "Because lawlessness is increased,
most people's love will grow cold. (13) "But
the one who endures to the end, he will be saved.
Rev 137 It was also given to him to make war
with the saints and to overcome them, and
authority over every tribe and people and tongue
and nation was given to him. 8 All who dwell on
the earth will worship him, everyone whose name
has not been written from the foundation of the
world in the book of life of the Lamb who has
been slain. 9 If anyone has an ear, let him
hear. 10 If anyone is destined for captivity, to
captivity he goes if anyone kills with the
sword, with the sword he must be killed. Here is
the perseverance and the faith of the saints.
15
The Fifth seal Part II Not all Christians are
killed
Matthew 1017-33 "But beware of men, for they
will hand you over to the courts and scourge you
in their synagogues (18) and you will even be
brought before governors and kings for My sake,
as a testimony to them and to the Gentiles. (19)
"But when they hand you over, do not worry about
how or what you are to say for it will be given
you in that hour what you are to say. (20) "For
it is not you who speak, but it is the Spirit of
your Father who speaks in you. (21) "Brother
will betray brother to death, and a father his
child and children will rise up against parents
and cause them to be put to death. (22) "You
will be hated by all because of My name, but it
is the one who has endured to the end who will be
saved. (23) "But whenever they persecute you in
one city, flee to the next for truly I say to
you, you will not finish going through the cities
of Israel until the Son of Man comes. (32)
"Therefore everyone who confesses Me before men,
I will also confess him before My Father who is
in heaven. (33) "But whoever denies Me before
men, I will also deny him before My Father who is
in heaven.
16
This is telling us not all Christians will be
killed
Matthew 1017-33 "But beware of men, for they
will hand you over to the courts and scourge you
in their synagogues (18) and you will even be
brought before governors and kings for My sake,
as a testimony to them and to the Gentiles. (19)
"But when they hand you over, do not worry about
how or what you are to say for it will be given
you in that hour what you are to say. (20) "For
it is not you who speak, but it is the Spirit of
your Father who speaks in you. (21) "Brother
will betray brother to death, and a father his
child and children will rise up against parents
and cause them to be put to death. (22) "You
will be hated by all because of My name, but it
is the one who has endured to the end who will be
saved. (23) "But whenever they persecute you in
one city, flee to the next for truly I say to
you, you will not finish going through the cities
of Israel until the Son of Man comes. (32)
"Therefore everyone who confesses Me before men,
I will also confess him before My Father who is
in heaven. (33) "But whoever denies Me before
men, I will also deny him before My Father who is
in heaven.
This is speaking to the Church, not Israel.
Notice Israel will persecute the Church during
this time with the antichrist they will think
he is their Messiah! They are protected!
17
It is important to note that Israel will never be
persecuted by the antichrist. They will have a
treaty until he goes into the temple and
proclaims himself god. At that time Israel will
be taken to the wilderness and protected, and
144,000 Jews will be sealed and protected as they
go out and gather Israel to the wilderness
location!In fact, only the Church will be
persecuted!
18
This is when the church will be refined.Joh
1633 "These things I have spoken to you, so
that in Me you may have peace. In the world you
have tribulation, but take courage I have
overcome the world." Rom 835 Who will separate
us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or
distress, or persecution, or famine, or
nakedness, or peril, or sword? (note how all
these things we will endure in the first 5
seals!)Jesus told us in the letters to the
churchesRev 210 'Do not fear what you are
about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to
cast some of you into prison, so that you will be
tested, and you will have tribulation for ten
days. Be faithful until death, and I will give
you the crown of life.

Rom 53 And not only this, but we also exult in
our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings
about perseverance 4 and perseverance, proven
character and proven character, hope 5 and
hope does not disappoint, because the love of God
has been poured out within our hearts through the
Holy Spirit who was given to us.
20
The Fifth seal Part 4
It is in the midst of the 5th seal that the
antichrist will go into the temple and proclaim
himself god! As he is persecuting the church, he
will feel like he is more powerful than
God. Matthew 24(15) "Therefore when you see the
ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION which was spoken of
through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy
place (let the reader understand), (16) then
those who are in Judea must flee to the
mountains. (17) "Whoever is on the housetop
must not go down to get the things out that are
in his house.
21
The Fifth seal Part 3
Dan 927 "And he will make a firm covenant with
the many for one week, but in the middle of the
week he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain
offering and on the wing of abominations will
come one who makes desolate, even until a
complete destruction, one that is decreed, is
poured out on the one who makes desolate." Dan
1136 "Then the king will do as he pleases, and
he will exalt and magnify himself above every god
and will speak monstrous things against the God
of gods and he will prosper until the
indignation is finished, for that which is
decreed will be done.
During the intense persecution of beleivers, the
gospel will be preached to the whole
earth! Matthew 2414-19 "This gospel of the
kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a
testimony to all the nations, and then the end
will come. It is in the midst of the 5th seal
that the antichrist will go into the temple and
proclaim himself god! Matthew 24(15) "Therefore
when you see the ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION which
was spoken of through Daniel the prophet,
standing in the holy place (let the reader
understand), (16) then those who are in Judea
must flee to the mountains. (17) "Whoever is on
the housetop must not go down to get the things
out that are in his house.
The antichrist is now revealed!
22
The Fifth seal Part 3
Dan 927 "And he will make a firm covenant with
the many for one week, but in the middle of the
week he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain
offering and on the wing of abominations will
come one who makes desolate, even until a
complete destruction, one that is decreed, is
poured out on the one who makes desolate." Dan
1136 "Then the king will do as he pleases, and
he will exalt and magnify himself above every god
and will speak monstrous things against the God
of gods and he will prosper until the
indignation is finished, for that which is
decreed will be done.
This event will affect the Jews more than the
Christians, because no Christians will be in
Jerusalem. The Jews will have to flee Jerusalem
so Jesus says to them pray that it doesnt occur
on the Sabbath.
During the intense persecution of beleivers, the
gospel will be preached to the whole
earth! Matthew 2414-19 "This gospel of the
kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a
testimony to all the nations, and then the end
will come. It is in the midst of the 5th seal
that the antichrist will go into the temple and
proclaim himself god! Matthew 24(15) "Therefore

was spoken of through Daniel the prophet,
standing in the holy place (let the reader
understand), (16) then those who are in Judea
must flee to the mountains. (17) "Whoever is on
the housetop must not go down to get the things
out that are in his house.

There is only one scripture in the Bible that
gives us the timing of the rapture

• 2 Thessalonians 21-3 Now we request you,
  brethren, with regard to the coming of our Lord
  Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him,
  (2) that you not be quickly shaken from your
  composure or be disturbed either by a spirit or a
  message or a letter as if from us, to the effect
  that the day of the Lord has come. (3) Let no
  one in any way deceive you, for it will not come
  unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of
  lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction,

24
There is only one scripture in the Bible that
gives us the timing of the rapture
Antichrist revealed Thayer Definition 1) to
uncover, lay open what has been veiled or covered
up 1a) disclose, make bare 2) to make known, make
manifest, disclose what before was unknown

• 2 Thessalonians 21-3 Now we request you,
  brethren, with regard to the coming of our Lord

25
There is only one scripture in the Bible that
gives us the timing of the rapture
The Apostasy is the falling away that takes place
at the 5th seal! The antichrist is revealed at
the abomination of desolation.

26
The antichrist is revealed as the antichrist
when he goes into the Jewish temple and exalts
himself above God.This is called the
abomination of desolation in scripture.This
event happens just before the breaking of the
sixth seal.It starts a short period of time
known as the time of Jacobs trouble or the
great tribulation.

• Jer 302 "Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel,
  'Write all the words which I have spoken to you
  in a book. 3 'For behold, days are coming,'
  declares the LORD, 'when I will restore the
  fortunes of My people Israel and Judah.' The LORD
  says, 'I will also bring them back to the land
  that I gave to their forefathers and they shall
  possess it.'" 4 Now these are the words which
  the LORD spoke concerning Israel and concerning
  Judah 5 "For thus says the LORD, 'I have heard
  a sound of terror, Of dread, and there is no
  peace. 6 'Ask now, and see If a male can give
  birth. Why do I see every man With his hands on
  his loins, as a woman in childbirth? And why have
  all faces turned pale?
• Jer 307 'Alas! for that day is great, There is
  none like it And it is the time of Jacob's
  distress, But he will be saved from it. 8 'It
  shall come about on that day,' declares the LORD
  of hosts, 'that I will break his yoke from off
  their neck and will tear off their bonds and
  strangers will no longer make them their slaves.

28
The Great Tribulation
Matthew 2421-28 "For then there will be a great
tribulation, such as has not occurred since the
beginning of the world until now, nor ever will.
(22) "Unless those days had been cut short, no
life would have been saved but for the sake of
the elect those days will be cut short. (23)
"Then if anyone says to you, 'Behold, here is the
Christ,' or 'There He is,' do not believe him.
(24) "For false Christs and false prophets will
arise and will show great signs and wonders, so
as to mislead, if possible, even the elect. (25)
"Behold, I have told you in advance. (26) "So
if they say to you, 'Behold, He is in the
wilderness,' do not go out, or, 'Behold, He is in
the inner rooms,' do not believe them. (27)
"For just as the lightning comes from the east
and flashes even to the west, so will the coming
of the Son of Man be. Dan 121 "Now at that
time Michael, the great prince who stands guard
over the sons of your people, will arise. And
there will be a time of distress such as never
occurred since there was a nation until that
time and at that time your people, everyone who
is found written in the book, will be rescued.
Dan 122 "Many of those who sleep in the dust

life, but the others to disgrace and everlasting

there will be a time of distress such as never
occurred since there was a nation until that
time and at that time your people, everyone who
is found written in the book, will be rescued.
Dan 122 "Many of those who sleep in the dust
of the ground will awake, these to everlasting
life, but the others to disgrace and everlasting
contempt.

• Jer 307 'Alas! for that day is great, There is
  none like it And it is the time of Jacob's
  distress, But he will be saved from it. 8 'It
  shall come about on that day,' declares the LORD
  of hosts, 'that I will break his yoke from off
  their neck and will tear off their bonds and
  strangers will no longer make them their slaves.

A resurrectionHappens here too! (more on this

The day of the Lord is about to start
At this time Christians will be looking for the
coming of Jesus! This is not the Jews, because
they will be supernaturally taken to the
wilderness to be protected during the
wrath. Matthew 2421-28 "For then there will be
a great tribulation, such as has not occurred
since the beginning of the world until now, nor
ever will. (22) "Unless those days had been cut
short, no life would have been saved but for the
sake of the elect those days will be cut short.
(23) "Then if anyone says to you, 'Behold, here
is the Christ,' or 'There He is,' do not believe
him. (24) "For false Christs and false prophets
will arise and will show great signs and wonders,
so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect.
(25) "Behold, I have told you in advance. (26)
"So if they say to you, 'Behold, He is in the
wilderness,' do not go out, or, 'Behold, He is in
the inner rooms,' do not believe them. (27)
"For just as the lightning comes from the east
and flashes even to the west, so will the coming
of the Son of Man be.

the serpent.

The Sixth seal Great Tribulation
Revelation 612-17 I looked when He broke the
sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake and
the sun became black as sackcloth made of hair,
and the whole moon became like blood (13) and
the stars of the sky fell to the earth, as a fig
tree casts its unripe figs when shaken by a great
wind. (14) The sky was split apart like a
scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain
and island were moved out of their places. (15)
Then the kings of the earth and the great men and
the commanders and the rich and the strong and
every slave and free man hid themselves in the
caves and among the rocks of the mountains (16)
and they said to the mountains and to the
rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the presence
of Him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath
of the Lamb (17) for the great day of their
wrath has come, and who is able to stand?
34
Luke 2125-28 "There will be signs in sun and
moon and stars, and on the earth dismay among
nations, in perplexity at the roaring of the sea
and the waves, (26) men fainting from fear and
the expectation of the things which are coming
upon the world for the powers of the heavens
will be shaken. (27) "Then they will see THE
SON OF MAN COMING IN A CLOUD with power and great
glory. (28) "But when these things begin to
take place, straighten up and lift up your heads,
because your redemption is drawing near."

tribulation of those days THE SUN WILL BE
DARKENED, AND THE MOON WILL NOT GIVE ITS LIGHT,

angels with A GREAT TRUMPET and THEY WILL GATHER

end of the sky to the other. Zec 1210 "I will
pour out on the house of David and on the
inhabitants of Jerusalem, the Spirit of grace and
of supplication, so that they will look on Me
whom they have pierced and they will mourn for
Him, as one mourns for an only son, and they will
weep bitterly over Him like the bitter weeping
over a firstborn.

Rev. 6 (16) and they said to the mountains and
to the rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the

37
This is a Glorious day! It is when the fullness
of the Gentiles come in, the Church is taken to
be with Christ, and Israel receives Him as
Messiah!!Gods Spirit then is poured out on
Israel!Joe 21 Blow a trumpet in Zion, And
sound an alarm on My holy mountain! Let all the
inhabitants of the land tremble, For the day of
the LORD is coming Surely it is near,2 A day of
darkness and gloom, A day of clouds and thick
darkness. As the dawn is spread over the
mountains, So there is a great and mighty people
There has never been anything like it, Nor will
there be again after it To the years of many
generations.3 A fire consumes before them And
behind them a flame burns. The land is like the
garden of Eden before them But a desolate
wilderness behind them, And nothing at all
escapes them.28 "It will come about after this
That I will pour out My Spirit on all mankind
And your sons and daughters will prophesy, Your
old men will dream dreams, Your young men will
see visions.29 "Even on the male and female
servants I will pour out My Spirit in those
days.30 "I will display wonders in the sky and
on the earth, Blood, fire and columns of smoke.31
"The sun will be turned into darkness And the
moon into blood Before the great and awesome day
of the LORD comes.32 "And it will come about
that whoever calls on the name of the LORD Will
be delivered For on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem
There will be those who escape, As the LORD has
said, Even among the survivors whom the LORD
calls.

God, so that there she would be nourished for one

At this time a great multitude that no one can
count appears in heaven.This is the first
resurrection!(Rev 206) Blessed and holy is

will reign with Him for a thousand years.

The first Resurrection the RaptureThe second
Resurrection judgmentRevelation 204-6 Then I
saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment
was given to them. And I saw the souls of those
who had been beheaded because of their testimony
of Jesus and because of the word of God, and
those who had not worshiped the beast or his
image, and had not received the mark on their
forehead and on their hand and they came to life
and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.
(5) The rest of the dead did not come to life
until the thousand years were completed. This is

deceive you, for it will not come unless the
apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness
is revealed, the son of destruction, 4 who
opposes and exalts himself above every so-called
god or object of worship, so that he takes his

From Chuck Misslers siteThe Rapture Myth The
Rapture Myth is identical to the doctrine of
cheap grace, as detailed by Dietrich Bonhoeffer.
Rapture as doctrine is one thing. The Rapture
Myth is a distortion of that doctrine, which says
the Rapture will spare us from all time of trial,
suffering, conflict and the need to do spiritual
battle because we aren't going to endure God's
wrath in the time of the Tribulation. It never
occurs to the Rapture Myth people that we may
well endure the world's wrath before Christ
returns. The Rapture Myth takes comfort in the
fallacious assumption that there will be no time
of trial in the run-up to the Rapture and
Tribulation. It comforts itself with a "we're
going to be outta here" mentality not to worry
about anything. Just keep t
