[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!

You can read the article here.

I pray this strengths your faith, and that you are empowered to share this newfound knowledge with your friends, colleagues, and fellow believers!

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!
