4. The Whole Tribulation is contained in a seven sealed scroll Most of the events are contained in the Seventh Seal The message of the Seventh seal contains seven “Trumpet Judgments”. The “Seven Trumpets” will sound over the entire last 3 ½ years of the tribulation. During the Seventh Seal, the seven trumpets sound, the Seventh trumpet initiates the seven bowls of Judgment

6. Pre-Wrath – Tribulation Teaching The wrath of God is loosed only during the seven last bowls. The Rapture will come some time during the tribulation before the wrath of God Two primary Books – Very Recent The Pre- Wrath Rapture – Marv Rosenthal The Sign – Van Kampen The wrath of God isn’t just the bowl judgments, it’s the whole seven seals.

7. For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand? Rev. 6:17 (This is during the seal judgments) And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou should give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and should destroy them which destroy the earth. Rev. 11:18 (This is still during the trumpet judgments)

8. But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he has declared to his servants the prophets. Rev. 10:7 And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God. (Gr. – teleo – to complete ) Rev. 15:1 And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done . Rev. 16:17

9. But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished… Rev. 10:7 What is that mystery? The wicked being allowed to prosper over the Righteous with murder and persecution.

10. Pre-wrath tribulation is true! The wrath of God begins with the opening of the first seal. Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come upon the whole world to test those who live on the earth. Rev. 3:10

11. What is the purpose of the wrath of God? To Avenge the blood of the saints. And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O YAHWEH , holy and true, do You not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? Rev. 6:10 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and You have given them blood to drink; for they are worthy. Rev. 16:6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: Rev. 17:6

12. Rejoice over her (Babylon) heaven, and you holy apostles and prophets; for God has avenged you on her. Rev. 18:20 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth. Rev. 18:24 For true and righteous [are] his judgments: for he has judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand. Rev. 19:2

13. The First Seal

14. Rev. 6:1 - I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals.

15. Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, Come and see

16. I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest V.2

17. There is a tremendous parallel between the First six seals and Matthew 24 The Deception Period And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what [shall be] the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? Mt. 24:3 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. Mt. 24:4,5

18. Many Christians are concerned if we don’t know who the anti-Christ is, we might be deceived and take the mark. For false Christ’s and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect-- if that were possible . Mt. 24:24 Let no man deceive you by any means: for [that day shall not come], except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; II Thess. 2:3 For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way. 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, II Thess. 2:7,8

19. I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest Rev. 6:2 There is a person on a horse – “He rode out” This person is representative – Of a conqueror The Rider does not represent Jesus 1. Jesus is opening the seals sending the rider forth 2. All the seals bring judgment and tragedy 3. The rider has different crown

20. The Rider is a Conqueror Bow- No arrows – Crown - Stephanos He will cause deceit to prosper, and he will consider himself superior. When they feel secure, he will destroy many and take his stand against the Prince of princes. Yet he will be destroyed, but not by human power. Dan. 8:25 “a crown was given” - source of authority Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. 9 "All this I will give you," he said, "if you will bow down and worship me. Mt. 4:8

21. Men worshiped the dragon because he had given authority to the beast Rev. 13:4 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them II Thess. 5:3 The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders, II Thess. 2:9 I believe the rider is representative of the Anti-Christ

32. I looked, and there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand.

33. Rev. 6:6 Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying,

34. "A quart of wheat for a day's wages,, and three quarts of barley for a day's wages and do not damage the oil and the wine!"

35. I will send the pestilence among you; and ye shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy. 26 [And] when I have broken the staff of your bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver [you] your bread again by weight: and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied. Lev. 26:26 Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, behold, I will break the staff of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by weight, and with care; and they shall drink water by measure, and with astonishment: Ez. 4:16
