[Garrett.theo]

Hello friends,

I would like to share with you what that Lord has revealed to me concerning The Great Tribulation and The Day of The Lord. What He has shown me was so profound that I knew I needed to write about it and share it with as many people as possible.

If you take the time to read it, the meaning behind the visions of the Seven Trumpets and Seven Bowls of God's Wrath in Revelation will be made clear to you! The answers you will receive are so profound and clear that it will literally change any conflicting belief you have on this topic, and challenge any other preconceived notion you have about the end times! Yes, what I said is true!

The structure of the visions in the book of Daniel is the key to the structure of the visions in Revelation.
The visions in Daniel were the sum of prophecy revealed by the son of Man (Da 10:4-9) from the book of God's eternal decrees (Da 10:21, 12:1) regarding the OT church (Da 2:28, 8:26, 10:14) and the end (Da 8:19).
And the visions in Revelation are the sum of prophecy revealed by the Son of Man (Rev 1:12-18) from the book of God's eternal decrees (Rev 5:1-5, 6:1, 10:1-4, 8-10, 20:12) regarding the NT church (Rev 1:19, 10:11) and the end (Rev 10:7, 11:18, 16:17, 21:6).
The visions in Daniel are not a successive chronology, but are four progressive parallelisms (chp 2, 7, 8, 10-12), progressively revealing more details of the same events and person each time (as are the eight visions in Zec 1-6).
Likewise with the visions in Revelation. Rather than a successive chronology, they are seven progressive parallelisms (chp 1-3, 4-7, 8-11, 12-14, 15-16, 17-19, 20-22), each revealing more detail of the same events and things.
And as the numbers and time frame regarding the OT church in Da 9:24-27 are not literal, so the numbers and time frame regarding the NT church in Revelation are not literal.
It is seeing Revelation as a literal successive chronology that is the basis for much interpretation of prophecy today that is contrary to clear unequivocal NT teaching (1 Th 4:14-17, 2 Th 1:6-10, 2:1-8).

I agree that the Book of Revelation is not written in chronological order; such a belief is unfounded. But of course, that isn't to suggest that numbered sequences (i.e. the seals, trumpets, and bowls) are not in order!

The millennium is figurative of the church age, which is the last temporal age, where the 7's are figurative of completion.

Rev 4-14 is the completion of mercy (for the seed of the woman) in the church age.
The seals (secret decrees) are the completion of trial, persecution of the church under 7 seals (chp 4-7).
The trumpets (proclamations) are the completion of protection, victory of the church under 7 trumpets (chp 8-11).
The signs (revelations) are the completion of the conflict of the two spiritual kingdoms under 7 signs (chp 12-14).

Rev 15-20 is the completion of wrath (for the seed of the serpent) at the end of the church age.
The 7 plagues and 7 bowls poured out are the judgment of Satan's kingdom.

Rev 17-19 is the completion of the destruction of Satan's kingdom.

Rev 20 is the Final Judgment of sin and the completion of all time.

Each seal represents a period of time with an overarching theme. The first tell us about a time of revival, peace, and prosperity. The second tells us of a time of war, and infighting. The third tells us of a time of scarcity and famine. The forth tells us of a time of death and a great falling away. Each seal is not only representative of literal (as I believe it) times of peace, war, famine, and plague, but they also depict the state of Christianity during each period as represented by the horse and its rider (i.e. spiritual warfare).

These events affect both God's church and the wicked as represented by the fraction 1/4, and evidenced by the nature of the events themselves. The term 1/4 is dropped by the 5th seal because this time of martyrdom only effects God's people. The 6th seal depicts The Day of The Lord, and the 7th is a short period of silence in Heaven because the Lord returned to earth with the whole host of Heaven.

The trumpets show God's protection for His people during The Great Tribulation, while the bowls show us His wrath on the wicked during that same time. Both the trumpets and bowls are happening concurrently in sequential order. This is proven in the article I posted!

The millennium is a literal period of time God's people will spend with Him in Heaven just before the judgment of the wicked!

 

[Jan001]

The millennium is a literal period of time God's people will spend with Him in Heaven just before the judgment of the wicked!

Scripture states that Jesus will bodily come to earth a second time; the first time was at his incarnation.

Hebrews 9:28 so Christ, having been offered once to take away the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to bring salvation to those who are eagerly waiting for him.

When Christ Jesus appears the second time, all the dead will rise first and be given immortality. His saints in heaven will accompany him down to earth to meet in the air his people who are still alive on earth. As his people on earth rise in the air to meet Jesus, their bodies will also be given immortality.

1 Corinthians 15:51-53 Listen, I will tell you a mystery! We will not all die, but we will all be changed, 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. 53 For this perishable body must put on imperishability, and this mortal body must put on immortality.

After his people on earth meet him in the air, he will then proceed to his throne to judge all mankind. Matthew 25:31-46, Revelation 20:11-13

2 Timothy 4:1-2 In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I solemnly urge you: 2 proclaim the message; be persistent whether the time is favorable or unfavorable; convince, rebuke, and encourage, with the utmost patience in teaching.

1 Thessalonians 4:15-17 But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters, about those who have died, so that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. 14 For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have died. 15 or this we declare to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will by no means precede those who have died. 16 For the Lord himself, with a cry of command, with the archangel’s call and with the sound of God’s trumpet, will descend from heaven, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up in the clouds together with them to meet the Lord in the air; and so we will be with the Lord forever.

Both good people and evil people will rise from the dead on the same day:

John 5:28-30 Do not be astonished at this; for the hour is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice 29 and will come out—those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation. 30 “I can do nothing on my own. As I hear, I judge; and my judgment is just, because I seek to do not my own will but the will of him who sent me.

All people will be judged at the same time, both good people and evil people.

Jesus will not come to earth to take his people to heaven for a literal 1000 years. When Jesus comes to earth for the second time, it will be the end of time/judgment day.


Our interpretations of the Book of Revelation should be in harmony with these Scriptures.

Scriptures do say Jesus will come back to the earth and He just separates the nations. It is never said that anyone will go to live in heaven.
After the thousand years, then God and heaven will come to dwell with mankind on the new earth. Revelation 21:1-7

Your beliefs are somewhat un-harmonious with the Prophetic Word!

After the thousand years, then God and heaven will come to dwell with mankind on the new earth. Revelation 21:1-7

Your beliefs are somewhat un-harmonious with the Prophetic Word!

The "new heaven and new earth" is Jesus' New Covenant and sacrificial religious system. (Revelation 21:1) There is no "sea" in this "new heaven and new earth" because the huge bronze washing basin (sea) is not needed for the priests of the New Covenant to do their ritual washing. 2 Chronicles 4:2

The previous "heaven and earth" was the first covenant's "temple" in Jerusalem with its Jewish sacrificial religious system. This manner of worship passed completely away in 70 AD. Link


Matthew 5:18 Amen, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not a single letter, not even a tiny portion of a letter, will disappear from the Law until all things have been accomplished.

Luke 16:16 The Law and the Prophets were in effect until John. From that time the kingdom of God has been proclaimed, and everyone is trying to force his way in.

Luke 24:44 Then he said to them, “This is what I meant when I told you while I was still with you: Everything written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms must be fulfilled.”

The "New Jerusalem" is Christ's Church, his Bride. All the people who will inherit eternal life are members of his Church.

Hebrews 12:22-23 But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem. You have come to myriads of angels in joyful gathering, 23 and to the assembly of the firstborn whose names are written in heaven, and to God the judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous who have been made perfect.

Revelation 21:9-10 One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls filled with the seven final plagues came forward and said to me, “Come, and I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.” 10 Then he carried me away in the spirit to the top of a very high mountain and showed me the holy city Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God.

I agree with almost all of what you said,but the millinium mentioned I revelation 20 is on earth .
Evidence of the resurected saints being on earth is found in revelation 20 showing the saints being surrounded by Gog and the nations and fire coming down from heaven and devouring Gog.

This prophecy is confirmed in Ezekiel 37-39 where the saints are resurected in Ezekiel 37 and live in the promised land . The hen Gog and the nations invade the promised land where the resurected saints live and fire comes down from heaven and destroying Gog.

The 1000 years in revelation. 20 is called the Lords Sabbath day.By my calculation ,it should begin in about 4 years,after the middle east has been consumed and then given to the saints.

Nowhere is it said that Jesus leaves the earth again. Eventually to be in the new earth for Eternity.

Matthew 5:12 Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Matthew 6:20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal.

Philippians 3:20 For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,


2 Timothy 4:18 And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work and preserve me for His heavenly kingdom. To Him be glory forever and ever. Amen!

Hebrews 10:34 for you had compassion on me in my chains, and joyfully accepted the plundering of your goods, knowing that you have a better and an enduring possession for yourselves in heaven.

1 Peter 1:4 to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you,

 

[keras]

You believe God will permanently move his throne from heaven to earth?

Revelation 21:1-7, is quite clear: God will come to dwell with mankind. On the new earth; in the new heavens.
Your scriptures apply to the present situation, and none of them say we humans actually go to live in heaven now. After the Millennium God and heaven come to us.

 

[Garrett.theo]

Scripture states that Jesus will bodily come to earth a second time; the first time was at his incarnation.

Hebrews 9:28 so Christ, having been offered once to take away the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to bring salvation to those who are eagerly waiting for him.

For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. 53 For this perishable body must put on imperishability, and this mortal body must put on immortality.

It is true that when Jesus comes back for the second time the dead in Christ will rise first, and that His people who are alive on earth will be caught up with them. This event takes place on The Day of The Lord, and I cover it in my article.

After his people on earth meet him in the air, he will then proceed to his throne to judge all mankind. Matthew 25:31-46, Revelation 20:11-13

2 Timothy 4:1-2 In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I solemnly urge you: 2 proclaim the message; be persistent whether the time is favorable or unfavorable; convince, rebuke, and encourage, with the utmost patience in teaching.

1 Thessalonians 4:15-17 But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters, about those who have died, so that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. 14 For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have died. 15 or this we declare to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will by no means precede those who have died. 16 For the Lord himself, with a cry of command, with the archangel’s call and with the sound of God’s trumpet, will descend from heaven, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up in the clouds together with them to meet the Lord in the air; and so we will be with the Lord forever.

Both good people and evil people will rise from the dead on the same day:

John 5:28-30 Do not be astonished at this; for the hour is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice 29 and will come out—those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation. 30 “I can do nothing on my own. As I hear, I judge; and my judgment is just, because I seek to do not my own will but the will of him who sent me.

All people will be judged at the same time, both good people and evil people.

Jesus will not come to earth to take his people to heaven for a literal 1000 years. When Jesus comes to earth for the second time, it will be the end of time/judgment day.


Our interpretations of the Book of Revelation should be in harmony with these Scriptures.

It is not true that the saved and unsaved will rise on the same day and be judged! You skipped over an entire passage in Revelation.

"And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key to the Abyss and holding in his hand a great chain. He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, or Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. He threw him into the Abyss, and locked and sealed it over him, to keep him from deceiving the nations anymore until the thousand years were ended. After that, he must be set free for a short time. I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years. (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.) This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy are those who share in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him for a thousand years. When the thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison and will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth..." -- Revelation 20:1-8a

Revelation 20:11-15 explains the judgment of the wicked once Satan is released from his prison after the 1000 years are up. See the following:

"Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what they had done. Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire."

Because the earth is destroyed upon Christ's return, the only place it makes sense for His people to reign with Him, is in Heaven.

The resurected saints are definitely on earth according to the verses you left out of the prophecy.

Revelation 20​

8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog, and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.​

​

9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.​

1-Deceived the nations on earth.

2-The nations on the breadth of the earth compass the camp of the resurected saints on earth.

3-Fire comes down from heaven and devours the nations that compassed the camp of the resurected saints on earth.



Like I said before,these exact same events are recorded in Ezekiel 37-38.

Like I said before,these exact same events are recorded in Ezekiel 37-38.

You're initial concern was that the millennial period would not take place in Heaven. Let me make this clear. If the earth is destroyed on the day the Lord returns to save His people (Revelation 16:18-20 & Revelation 11:19), and the rest of the dead do not come back to life to be judged until after the 1000 years are up (Revelation 20:4b-6). Then it only makes sense that the saved reign with Christ in Heaven during the 1000 years.

Once the 1000 years are up, the Lord descends from Heaven with his people to judge the wicked. We see this in Zechariah 14:3-5, which reads: "Then the Lord will go out and fight against those nations, as he fights on a day of battle. On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olives will be split in two from east to west, forming a great valley, with half of the mountain moving north and half moving south. You will flee by my mountain valley, for it will extend to Azel. You will flee as you fled from the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then the Lord my God will come, and all the holy ones with him."

For added context, Revelation 20:7-9a tells us when this "day of battle" is. It reads: "When the thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison and will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth—Gog and Magog—and to gather them for battle. In number they are like the sand on the seashore. They marched across the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of God’s people, the city he loves."

The reason why we see the saints (God's people) in this passage is because they descend out of heaven with Him once the 1000 years were up. See Zechariah 14:5b, which reads: "Then the Lord my God will come, and all the holy ones with him."

Then it only makes sense that the saved reign with Christ in Heaven during the 1000 years.

Once the 1000 years are up, the Lord descends from Heaven with his people to judge the wicked. We see this in Zechariah 14:3-5, which reads: "Then the Lord will go out and fight against those nations, as he fights on a day of battle. On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olives will be split in two from east to west, forming a great valley, with half of the mountain moving north and half moving south. You will flee by my mountain valley, for it will extend to Azel. You will flee as you fled from the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then the Lord my God will come, and all the holy ones with him."

For added context, Revelation 20:7-9a tells us when this "day of battle" is. It reads: "When the thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison and will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth—Gog and Magog—and to gather them for battle. In number they are like the sand on the seashore. They marched across the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of God’s people, the city he loves."

The reason why we see the saints (God's people) in this passage is because they descend out of heaven with Him once the 1000 years were up. See Zechariah 14:5b, which reads: "Then the Lord my God will come, and all the holy ones with him."

The earth is not destroyed.

What makes you think this world is completely destroyed?

The only thing consumed when the Lord comes in revelation 19 and Daniel 7 is the kingdom of the beast,(the middle east).

Then the middle east(the promised land)is given to the saints of God for an everlasting possession as God promised Abraham.

Daniel 7
24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.

25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.

26 But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end.

27 And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.


"the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints"



The saints in revelation 20 are living in the land that was once governed by the beast that killed them.
