The End Day
It is very important for us to know the signs of End Day, but how to know and understanding signs meaning? We will try our best to explain what is the End Day and its’ signs meaning… We will read Gospels, Prophets and also the Revelation to see what Jesus Christ says about what would happen in the End Day. Let’s see verse by verse…
Seeing, pointing “That” Temple
“Jesus left the temple and was going away, when his disciples came to point out to him the buildings of the temple.” – Mattew 24:1
“And while some were speaking of the temple, how it was adorned with noble stones and offerings,” – Luke 21:5
“one of his disciples said to him, “Look, Teacher, what wonderful stones and what wonderful buildings!” – Mark 13:1
====================================
What did Jesus and apostles were talking about? What is their “speaking object”?
Their speaking object was the “Temple of Jerusalem” of 1st century, “that Temple” was destroyed in AD70. For Jesus and apostles were “looking at” “that Temple”, apostles were “pointing” that Temple and asked Lord Jesus what would happen to “that” temple.
Therefore, all signs of the End Day what Jesus said was “directly related” to “that Temple” which was destroyed in AD 70. In other words, the “temple” relating to the End Day is the one they were seeing and pointing, not someone says “it refers to the future temple“, “the 3rd temple“…
Do you need to confirm that?
====================================
You “see” all these, do you not? Truly, I say to you, there will not be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down. – Matthew 24:2
“Do you “see” these great buildings? There will not be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down.” – Mark 13:2
“As for these things that “you see”, the days will come when there will not be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down.” – Luke 21:6
====================================
Knowing the “period” of the End Day
How long of the End Day? What time does the End Day begin? Does the End Day mean literal 7 years? Does it occur in the future or has already begun?
It is interesting for apostles asking Jesus about the destruction of Temple, which they were linking with the End Day. Do they have any connection? In other words, apostles knew the “period” of Temple destruction = the “period” of End Day = the “period” of Jesus coming back.
Presumably apostles must heard and knew about the prophecy of “Seventy Sevens”, and surely Jesus may also told them privately about the End Day period = the Temple(Jerusalem be trampled) destroyed period, which is the last “3.5” period of Daniel “Seventy Sevens” prophecy, that’s why they asked Jesus both questions together : what would happen of the Temple and the End Day?
We can say what Jesus said about the period of the End Day consists of 3 periods : (1) the period before the End Day; (2) The End Day period; (3) The ending of the End Day.
Also you can apply the above conditions to the Jerusalem Temple : (1) the period before the Temple destroyed; (2) The Temple destroyed period(Jerusalem be trampled); (3) The ending of Temple destruction(Temple Restoration).
The period “Before” The End Day
(1) The period “before” the End Day = The period “before” the Temple destruction
====================================
And Jesus answered them[apostles], “See that no one leads you astray. 5 For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and they will lead many astray. 6 And you[apostles] will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place,
but the end is “not yet“. – Matthew 24:4-6
See that you[apostles] are not led astray. For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he!’ and, ‘The time is at hand!’ Do not go after them. 9 And when you hear of wars and tumults, do not be terrified, for these things must first take place,
but the end will “not be at once“. – Luke 21:8,9
====================================
“Expecting” an Anointed One (Messiah – Christ) appear – Seventy Sevens prophecy
“Know therefore and understand that from the going out of the word to restore and build Jerusalem to the coming of “an anointed one, a prince”, there shall be seven weeks. Then for sixty-two weeks…” – Daniel 9:25
In 1st century period, many Israelite knew the prophecy of “Seventy Sevens”, they were looking forward the Anointed One(Messiah) appearing, they were expecting the Anointed One to restore all(Israel) and achieve the 6 goals of Seventy Sevens.
“As the people were in “expectation” (“Christ” appear), and all were questioning in their hearts concerning John, whether he might be the Christ.” – Luke 3:15
The woman said to him(Jesus), “I know that Messiah is coming (he who is called Christ)…” – John 4:25
Therefore most people were looking forward the Messiah coming, Messiah means Christ, yes he has come. Jesus said to her, “I who speak to you am he.”(John 4:26). But most people did not accept Jesus as Messiah-Christ, they prefer to believe in scammer(False Christ). So Jesus warned apostles there would be False-Christ appear before the End Day come[before Temple destruction]. Moreover Jesus foretold there would appear False Christ and False Prophet at the ending of End Day too.
“You” will… [Apostles]
Lord Jesus was looking at apostles and telling them what would happen of them before the End Day come(before the Temple destroyed), so he said “you will…”. “you will…” refers to apostles mainly.
But Mark 13:38 “And what I say to you(apostles) I say to all“, because apostles would not stay until the end of the Age, but we will. So we all have to know the End Day signs.
What would happen to apostles after Jesus back to the heaven and before the End Day period?
====================================
“You” will… [Apostles]
Matthew 24:9-11 “Then they will deliver you(apostles) up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name’s sake. 10 And then many will fall away and betray one another and hate one another. 11 And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray.”
Mark 13:9-11 “But be on your guard. For they will deliver you over to councils, and you(apostles) will be beaten in synagogues, and you will stand before governors and kings for my sake, to bear witness before them. 10 And the gospel must first be proclaimed to all nations. 11 And when they bring you to trial and deliver you over, do not be anxious beforehand what you are to say, but say whatever is given you in that hour, for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit.”
Luke 21:16-19 “You(apostles) will be delivered up even by parents and brothers and relatives and friends, and some of you they will put to death. 17 You will be hated by all for my name’s sake. 18 But not a hair of your head will perish. 19 By your endurance you will gain your lives.”
====================================
5 Put no trust in a neighbor;
have no confidence in a friend;
guard the doors of your mouth
from her who lies in your arms;
6 for the son treats the father with contempt,
the daughter rises up against her mother,
the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;
a man’s enemies are the men of his own house. – Micah 7:5,6
52 For from now on in one house there will be five divided, three against two and two against three. 53 They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.” – Luke 12:52,53
Jesus told apostles what would happened to them Before the End Day : apostles would be beaten and brought to kings to bear witness Jesus, and finally be martyrs. And “the gospel must first be proclaimed to all nations”, false Christs and false Prophets would appeared.
====================================
“Begin” of the End Day
When will the End Day begin? Is it already begun or in the future? Did Jesus tell us? Yes, Jesus told us when did the End Day begin, but the ending of End Day he said “that day that hour no one knows except the Father”.
Did Jesus “really” tell us when would the End Day “begin”?
Yes! What did he say?
====================================
When you see “… “, the End Day begins
4 And Jesus answered them, “See…, for this must take place, “but” the end is not yet(come)…
15 So “when” you see the abomination of desolation spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place (let the reader “understand”)… 21 For then there will be great tribulation[the End Day is come], such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be.”
– Matthew 24:4-21
5 And Jesus began to say to them, “See… This must take place, “but” the end is not yet… 14 “But when” you see the abomination of desolation standing where he ought not to be (let the reader understand)…19 For in those days [The End Day] there will be such tribulation [the Great Tribulation] as has not been from the beginning of the creation that God created until now, and never will be.”
– Mark 13:5-19
8 And he said, “…for these things must first take place, “but” the end will not be at once…
20 “But when” you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, “then know” that its desolation has come near[the End Day come]… For there will be great distress[the Great Tribulation] upon the earth… and Jerusalem will “be trampled” underfoot by the Gentiles, “until” the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled(ended).”
– Luke 21:8-24
====================================
What did Jesus say about the beginning of the End Day? He said …somethings would happen… “but” the end is not yet… (and then)…
“But when” you see the abomination of desolation of Daniel prophecy, you “would know” the Great Tribulation is come[The End Day is come]…
[Daniel prophecy Seventy Sevens – put an end to sacrifice and offering – the destruction of Jerusalem and Temple]
…for “half of the Seven”, the prince[Messiah-Christ] who is to come shall destroy the city [Jerusalem] and the sanctuary [the Temple], put an end to sacrifice and offering.
Apostles knew when the sign occurs, that means the End Day began. But at that time they had no idea what time the Temple would be destroyed. However after that as you know, Jerusalem and the Temple was destroyed in AD70. Therefore, the End Day began in AD70, and the Jerusalem would “be trampled” by the Gentiles, “until” the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled[ended], “they will trample the holy city for forty-two months(3.5).”
So “half of the Seven” = the End Day period began in AD 70. Jesus and apostles knew the End Day = the last “3.5” of One Seven of Daniel prophecy Seventy Sevens.
But why Jesus said there would occur “the Great Tribulation… and “has not been” from the beginning of the world until now, no, and “never” will be“?
You may ask : Although the destruction of Jerusalem really a tribulation, but it seems “does not match” perfectly with “the tribulation has not happened before and never will be“. Did the End Day really begin in AD70? It seems unbelievable. If so, it means the End Day has ended? Or the End Day is not 7 years? We will explain later, but now let us study this “key” point – Daniel Seventy Sevens prophecy…
====================================
Seventy Weeks spoken of by the prophet Daniel
It seems apostles understa nd the relationship about the End Day and the Jerusalem, Jesus said when you see the abomination of desolation standing in the holy place, then there will be great distress (the Great Tribulation) upon the earth, it has never happened before, and never will be. Jerusalem will “be trampled” underfoot by the Gentiles, “until” the times of the Gentiles (ended).
As you see the above, this 1st century Temple and Jerusalem was what Jesus and apostles talking about, not someone says there will be an other Temple in the future. This is very important because the sign of temple destruction is the “key point” to let us understand[confirm] the “begining” of the End Day.
What is the prophecy of Seventy Weeks about?
To put it simply, Seventy Weeks is the YHWH God’s plan to rebuild Jerusalem, to restore Israel. After the rebuild finished, 6 goals will be complete, they are “to finish the transgression, to put an end to sin, and to atone for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal both vision and prophet, and to anoint a most holy place“.
That’s why apostles knew they were in the “3.5” ending period of “Seventy Weeks” at that time, so they asked…
“So when they(apostles) had come together, they asked him, “Lord, will you[an Anointed – Messiah] at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?”” – Acts 1:6
It seems the 6 goals are telling us if all of them have achived, is that like or referring to what would happen in New Heaven New Earth? Is the 6 goals showing us the picture of New Heaven New Earth? Yes. And which part of Seventy Weeks did Jesus want us to understanding?
====================================
Half of Seven(3.5) = The end period
25 Know therefore and understand that from the going out of the word to restore and build Jerusalem to the coming of “an anointed one, a prince”[Messiah-Christ], there shall be…
26 And after the sixty-two weeks, an anointed one[Messiah-Christ] shall be cut off and shall have nothing.
27 And he [Messiah-Christ] shall make a strong covenant [New Covenant-Kingdom of God] with many [Apostles and disciples] for one week.
27 and for “half of the Week” he [Messiah-Christ] shall put an end to sacrifice and offering(of Jerusalem).
26 And the people of the prince [Messiah-Christ] who is to come shall destroy the city [Jerusalem] and the sanctuary [the Temple].
27 And on the wing of abominations shall come one who makes desolate, until the decreed end is poured out on the desolator.
26 Its end [Seventy Weeks ends] shall come with a flood, and to the end there shall be war. Desolations are decreed.
====================================
Prince : “the coming”, destroy the Temple
Who is the “Prince”?
25 Know therefore and understand that from the going out of the word to restore and build Jerusalem to the “coming” of an anointed one, a prince, …
27 …for “half of the week” he[Messiah-Christ] shall put an end to sacrifice and offering(of Jerusalem). 26 And the people of the prince[Messiah-Christ] who is to “come” shall destroy the city[Jerusalem] and the sanctuary[the Temple].
So that clearly tells us the “Prince” – “the coming” – “who is to come” means Messiah-Christ Jesus. As you know, unless Jesus allow the holy city Jerusalem being destroy, otherwise “not a hair of Jerusalem will perish”. Also biblical peophets tell us Jerusalem will be destroyed by YHWH, for it is full of sins, Jesus also proves that in Mark 14:58…
“We heard him say, ‘I[Jesus] will destroy this temple[earthly Jerusalem temple] that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another, not made with hands.’ “
It proves that Jesus allowed the earthly Jerusalem being destroyed[allow desolator destroy Jerusalem], and then he will build another one not made with hands. On the other hand, if Jesus would build a superior one not made with hands, why would people still say need to build the 3rd temple that made with hands?
====================================
AD 70 = “Begins” of The End Day
Therefore Jesus told us when you see “the abomination of desolation spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place”, the tribulations days[the End Day] has began, now we know it happened in AD 70.
But how long of the End Day? Is it a “day” or “period”? Is it 7 years? or 3.5 years?
Surely, as you know the End Day is a long long unknown period, therefore it must not be the real literal 7 years or 3.5 years , otherwise Jesus has already come, the End Day had passed over long time ago. Then, what did Jesus say about the End Day “period“? He used the term “those days” …
====================================
“Those Days”
“So when you see the abomination of desolation… 19 And alas for women who are pregnant and for those who are nursing infants in “those days!“… 22 And if “those days” had not been cut short, no human being would be saved. ” – Matthew 24:15,19,22
“All these are but the “beginning” of the birth pains.” – Matthew 24:8
29 Immediately after the tribulation of “those days” [End of childbirth period] the sun will be darkened… 30 Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man…” – Matthew 24:19-30
==========
“14 But when you see the abomination of desolation…17 And alas for women who are pregnant and for those who are nursing infants in “those days” ! …
19 For in “those days” there will be such tribulation as has not been from the beginning of the creation that God created until now, and never will be…
24 But in “those days“, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened… 26 And then they will see the Son of Man… ” – Mark 13:14-26
==========
“20 But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation has come near. 23 Alas for women who are pregnant and for those who are nursing infants in “those days” ! …
24 …and Jerusalem will be trampled underfoot by the Gentiles, until the times[42 months, 3.5] of the Gentiles are fulfilled.” – Luke 21:20-24
====================================
“Those days” – childbirth period
“And a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun… 2 She was pregnant and was crying out in birth pains and the agony of giving birth…
6 and the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, in which she is to be nourished for “1,260 days“(3.5)…
14 …, to the place where she is to be nourished for “a time, and times, and half a time“. ”
– Revelation 12:1-2,6,14
“Then the dragon became furious with the woman and went off to make war on the rest of her offspring[the rest of 144000 Saints], on those[7 Churches’ brothers] who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus.” – Revelation 12:17
====================================
“Those days” = The “period” of the End Day
So how long of “those days“?
(1) “Those days” begins: AD 70.
(2) “Those days” period: It is a long long unknown timing and passed about 2000 years now. This unknown time period is “Jerusalem being trampled underfoot by the Gentiles”, until “the times [symbolic 42 months] of the Gentiles are fulfilled“. This period also called “42 months“, “3.5“, it must be a symbolic period not a real literal.
(3) “Those days” ending: Immediately after the tribulation of “those days” is ended, Jesus would come and appear. “the sun will be darkened… 26 And then they will see the Son of Man (Jesus)…”. Jesus also used “the end of the age” to describe the ending of “those days”.
Therefore, “those days” = “42 months” of Jerusalem being trampled period = final “3.5” of Daniel Seventy-Sevens. When “those days” is ended, we would see the Son of Man Jesus who is to come!
Do you see what does the “those days” meant? Jesus used the term “those days” to descript the “whole period” of the End Day, and from 1st century AD 70 till to Jesus come back!
“The End Day” has passed about 2000 years till now, have to emphasize again the End Day is “not” the real literal 7 years or 3.5 years, but means the final “3.5” symbolic period of “One Seven“.
As you see the above Jesus saying is indirectly proved that the prophecy of Seventy Sevens and “3.5” is not literal 490 years and 3.5 years, but a symbolic period. Is this really what Jesus meant? Yes…
====================================
“Those days” = “this generation” = a “whole” of End Day period
Because Jesus Christ didn’t break down “those days” into 2 periods or more, all his saying was only one period from the Temple destruction till to his coming. He said “Truly, I say to you, “this generation” will not pass away until all these things take place”, “this generation” does not mean 2 generations but 1, so “this generation” represents “a whole period” covering from AD70 till the Last Day.
“And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.” – Matthew 24:14
This symbolized “3.5” period of “those days” is also the symbolic witnessing period of “7 Churches” in Revelation.
So “those days”
= “3.5” period
= “42 months”
= “a time, times, and half a time”
= “1260 days”
= heavenly woman give birth (Saints) period
= God’s Gospel proclaiming period
= “7 Churches” period
= “the End Day” period
= from AD70 till to the last day of Jesus’ come.
Do you need to confirm whether “those days” is really what Jesus meant? Is “those days” really a long long unknown period? Yes, Jesus use 2 parables to emphasize it…
====================================
“Those days” (a long unknown period): the Ten Virgins
Matthew 25:1-13
“Then the kingdom of heaven(those days of preaching Gospel of Kingdom) will be like ten virgins[churches] who took their lamps [spiritual light] and went to meet the bridegroom [Jesus].
2 Five of them were foolish [churches have no spiritual light, but promote sins], and five were wise [churches shine spiritual light]. 3 For when the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them, 4 but the wise took flasks of oil with their lamps.
5 As the bridegroom was delayed(a long long unknown period), they all became drowsy and slept.
6 But at midnight there was a cry, ‘Here is the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.’ (Jesus is come, the ending of the End Day)
7 Then all those virgins rose and trimmed their lamps.
8 And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’
9 But the wise answered, saying, ‘Since there will not be enough for us and for you, go rather to the dealers and buy for yourselves.’
10 And while they were going to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast, and the door was shut. 11 Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, lord, open to us.’ 12 But he answered, ‘Truly, I say to you, I do not know you.’
13 Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour.”
So Jesus proves that “those days” would be a “long long unknown period” that from he left, this symbolic period is 7 Churches witnessing period and lighting the Gospel of God’s Kingdom period (the Ten Virgins), after this period is ended he will come back.
====================================
“Those days” (a long unknown period): Servants earning Talents
Matthew 25:14-30
“14 For it will be like a man(Jesus) going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted to them his property. 15 To one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one, to each according to his ability. Then he went away [Jesus back to heaven].
16 He who had received the five talents went at once and traded with them, and he made five talents more. 17 So also he who had the two talents made two talents more. 18 But he who had received the one talent went and dug in the ground and hid his master’s money.
19 Now after a “long time“, the master of those servants came [Jesus came back] and settled accounts with them.
20 And he who had received the five talents came forward, bringing five talents more, saying, ‘Master, you delivered to me five talents; here, I have made five talents more [made more talents to Kingdom of God].’ 21 His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’ …”
In this parable, Jesus tells us the End Day is like a master [Jesus himself] gives talents [Saints] to his servants to make more talents [Saints] for God’s Kingdom. And he clearly says that the end day period -“those days” is “a long unknown timing“.
Therefore, both 2 parables tell us “those days” will be a long long unknown period, but why “those days” is so long? For what purpose? Because there is a very important mission has to finish… That is making more Saints [talents]… until… the number complete.
“And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.” – Matthew 24:14
“3 saying, “Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees, “until” we “have sealed” the servants of our God on their foreheads.”” – Revelation 7:3
What is the purpose for proclaiming the Gospel? That is to made more talents[Saints], the heavenly woman has to give birth “offspring” – Saints, angels have to seal God’s servants on their foreheads, “until” their number complete.
Then, the proclaiming Gospel period would ended, then the End will come, the four destroy winds will be released. The climax of the End Day – “great tribulation… such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be” will come, finally Jesus will come!
====================================
Signs of the End Day
But if this period is an unknown period, how could we know its’ ending? For no one knows.
That’s why Jesus told us “signs” of the End Day, if we see the signs occur, that means the End Day is near. Matthew 24:32,33 says,
“32 From the fig tree learn its lesson: as soon as its branch becomes tender and puts out its leaves, you know that summer is near.
33 So also, when you see all these things, you know that he is near, at the very gates.”
Lord Jesus also told us signs of “Begining“, what happens of “Birth Pains Period“, signs of the “Ending“, signs of “Jesus come“. We will study the Gospels, Prophets and the Revelation to understanding what “signs” would happen and what stage are we standing.
====================================
signs of the “Beginning” of the End Day
====================================
First sign : Matthew 24:15 “So when you see “the abomination of desolation” spoken of by the prophet Daniel), standing in the holy place (let the reader understand)”. So the 1st sign is AD 70 “Jerusalem was destroyed“, the End Day begins and Jesus is conquering, and to conquer.
Therefore, from AD 70 the “beginning” of “the 3.5 End Day“[symbolic period] would happen signs below : Jesus has told us in Gospels and Revelation what signs would occur.
====================================
AD 70 End Day Begins: Opened the six Seals
====================================
The First Seal [Sign] : Jesus come conquering, and to conquer.
“what will be the sign of “your coming” and of the end of the age?” – Matthew 24:3
“I heard one of the four living creatures say with a voice like thunder, “Come!” 2 And I looked, and behold, a white horse! And its rider[Jesus] had a bow, and a crown was given to him, and he came out conquering, and to conquer.” – Revelation 6:1,2
4 His brightness was like the light;
rays flashed from his hand;
and there he veiled his power.
5 Before him went “pestilence”,
and “plague” followed at his heels…
8 when you rode on your horses(white horses),
on your chariot of salvation?
9 You stripped the sheath from your “bow”,
calling for many [uncertain].
You split the earth with rivers.
11 The sun and moon stood still in their place
at the light of your arrows as they sped,
at the flash of your glittering spear.
13 You went out for the salvation of your people,
for the salvation of your anointed[sealed Saints].
14 You pierced with his own arrows the heads of his warriors,…
– Habakkuk 3:4-14
“In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” – John 16:33
Conquering, and to Conquer
“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations… And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” – Matthew 28:19,20
– To the one[Ephesus] who conquers I will grant to eat of the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.
– The one[Smyrna] who conquers will not be hurt by the second death.
– To the one[Pergamum] who conquers I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone…
– The one[Thyatira] who conquers and who keeps my works until the end, to him I will give authority over the nations.
– The one[Sardis] who conquers will be clothed thus in white garments.
– The one[Philadelphia] who conquers, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God.
– The one[Laodicea] who conquers, I will grant him to sit with me on my throne, as I(Jesus) also conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne.
The Second Seal[Sign] : Wars
“When he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come!” 4 And out came another horse, bright red. Its rider was permitted to take peace from the earth, so that people should slay one another, and he was given a great sword.” – Revelation 6:3,4
“And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars… 7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom,… 8 All these are but the beginning of the birth pains.” – Matthew 24:6-8
The Third Seal[Sign] : Famines
When he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come!” And I looked, and behold, a black horse! And its rider had a pair of scales in his hand. 6 And I heard what seemed to be a voice in the midst of the four living creatures, saying, “A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius, and do not harm the oil and wine!”
– Revelation 6:5,6
“There will be famines. These are but the beginning of the birth pains.” – Mark 13:8
The Fourth Seal[Sign] : Pestilence, Earthquake and Death
“When he opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, “Come!” 8 And I looked, and behold, a pale horse! And its rider’s name was Death, and Hades followed him.
And they(3 horses) were given authority over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword[the red horse] and with famine[the black horse] and with pestilence and by wild beasts[the pale horse] of the earth.” – Revelation 6:7,8
“There will be “great” earthquakes,… and pestilences.” – Luke 21:11
====================================
God used 4 running Horses to describe signs of the 4 Seals, that means they are a same group, same group means they are happening[running], running… and running[happening, not all of them are disasters, as you see the first horse does not mean “a disaster“, but all of them are running[occurring] again, again… and again.
Just like the rider[Jesus] of 1st Horse conquering and conquering… and to conquer. The other three horses are also running, [again and again]… Wars, famines, pestilence, earthquake and death… would be happened again, again… and again. So from AD 70 the white horse and other 3 horses are running around and around until the end of the age.
====================================
The Fifth Seal[Sign] : Those souls who had been slain because of God’s Gospel
====================================
“And Moses took half of “the blood” and put it in basins, and half of the blood he threw against the altar. 7 Then he took the Book of “the Covenant” and read it in the hearing of the people. … 8 And Moses took the blood and threw it on the people and said, “Behold the blood of the covenant that YHWH has made with you in accordance with all these words.”” – Exodus 24:6-8
“They… came into the wilderness of Sinai, … There Israel encamped before the mountain, 3 while Moses went up to God. YHWH called to him out of the mountain, saying, “Thus you shall say to the house of Jacob, … 5 Now therefore, if you will “indeed obey” my voice and “keep” my covenant, you shall be my treasured possession among all peoples, for all the earth is mine; 6 and you shall be to me a “kingdom of priests” and a “holy nation“.” ” – Exodus 19:2-6
At first Jehovah God made Covenant with Israelite, if they indeed obey commandments of YHWH God, worship YHWH God only, love good and hate evil, then they would be a “holy nation” and a “kingdom of priests“. Unfortunately, they did not fulfill this Covenant and also killed the righteoues Jesus. Therefore, God made a “new Covenant” to fulfill His Promised Covenant, to establish a “kingdom of priests” and a “holy nation“.
“[Jesus] saying, “This cup that is poured out for you is “the new covenant” in my “blood“. 29 and I assign to you, as my Father assigned to me, “a kingdom“, 30 that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.” – Luke 22:20,29-30
“…And Jesus said to them, “The cup that I drink you will drink (be killed), and with the baptism with which I am baptized, you will be baptized(born again).” – Mark 10:39
“When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the witness they had borne. 10 They cried out with a loud voice, “O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, “how long” before you will judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?” 11 Then they were each given a white robe and told to rest a little longer, “until” the number of their fellow servants and their brothers should be “complete”, who were to be killed as they themselves had been.” – Revelation 6:9-11
1 Peter 2:5,9 “You yourselves[Gentiles] like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house [New Jerusalem], to be a holy priesthood, to offer “spiritual sacrifices” (under the altar the souls of the 5th Seal) acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession…”
====================================
“They will deliver you over to councils, and you will be beaten in synagogues, and you will stand before governors and kings for my sake, to bear witness before them.” – Mark 13:9
“Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death” – Matthew 24:9
“You will be delivered up even by parents and brothers and relatives and friends, and some of you they will put to death. 17 You will be hated by all for my name’s sake.” – Luke 21:16,17
“Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” – Matthew 5:10
“who by God’s power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time(the last 3.5).” – 1 Peter 1:5
“since you have been born again, not of perishable seed but of imperishable, through the living and abiding word of God;” – 1 Peter 1:23
====================================
You know God made the “the Covenant” with Israelites at Sinai, but they did not fulfill this covenant. Therefore, Jesus made a “new Covenant” with the real Israel[his disciples whatever Israelites or Gentiles] to fulfill the covenant to be “a royal priesthood, a holy nation“.
Those people who called Saints are the souls under the altar and waiting to offer as the spirit sacrifices to God, they are waiting… “until” the number of their fellow servants and their brothers[7 Churches’ brothers-the 144000] should be “complete”. That means when the fifth Seal was opened in AD 70, it would last a long unkown period during the End Day, until the end of the age[their brothers number complete].
When their number is complete, the “New Covenant” is fulfilled, they would be a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession forever and ever.
They are “Sealed” with the Father’s name on their forehead means they are confirmed to be Saints, they are also called the Chosen, or God’s Sons, whatever they are men or women, or whatever their background, or what church they belong to. When their number is complete, then the end of the Age would come. They are the “spiritual sacrifices” to God, they would fulfill the “New Covenant” to be a holy priesthood and a holy nation.
====================================
The Sixth Seal[Sign] : Satan Thrown Down to Earth
“When he opened the sixth seal, I looked, and behold, there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black as sackcloth, the full moon became like blood, 13 and the stars of the sky fell to the earth as the fig tree sheds its winter fruit when shaken by a gale. 14 The sky vanished like a scroll that is being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place… 17 for the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand?” – Revelation 6:12-14
“Now war arose in heaven, Michael and his angels fighting against the dragon. And the dragon and his angels fought back, 8 but he was defeated, and there was no longer any place for them in heaven. 9 And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world—he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.” – Revelation 12:7-9
The seventy-two returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name!” 18 And he said to them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven”. – Luke 10:17,18
Opened the sixth Seal, Devil Satan and his angels were thrown down onto to the earth before AD 70, the heaven rejoiced! The old heaven has passed away and the new heaven without Devil Satan has come. It seems the Great Tribulation has come, but just like Israelite refused to enter the Promised Land made God angry, so God also refused that generation entering it, they had to stay in the wilderness until the 40 years wilderness period was ended. Please read <The Bible Revelation>.
The same, “symbolic wilderness period” would occur from AD 70 until Jesus come. This period is a long unknown symbolic period: 1260 Days, “a time, times, and half a time”, 7 Churches period, 2 Witnesses period, “3.5”, heavenly woman birth pains period, sealing of 144000 Saints period, Jerusalem being trampled period. All of them are mentioned as the end time period. When this period is ended, the 7th Seal will be opened!! Let’s see what happens during this symbolic period…
====================================
an Unknown Symbolic Wilderness period:
====================================
So from AD 70 will pass a long period till to the end of the Age, this period is called “unknown, symbolic wilderness period”. This unknown wilderness period is also called:
Heavenly Woman birth pains period;
1260 Days;
Sealing of 144000 Saints period;
a time, times, and half a time;
7 Churches period;
2 Witnesses period
“3.5”;
42 months Jerusalem being trampled period.
====================================
The Birth Pains Period – Those days
====================================
“17 Then the dragon became furious with the woman and went off to make war on the rest of her offspring, on those who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus.” – Revelation 12:17
We can say “the birth pains period” is the period from 1st century that “proclaiming the gospel of God’s Kingdom”. During this period, the Heavenly Woman give birth to Saints – the Chosen, when this testimony is ended, “birth pains” of heavenly woman period will be ended too, for the “Offspring” has born. That’s why Jesus said,
“And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.” – Matthew 24:14
“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was thrown into the sea and gathered fish of every kind. 48 When it was full, men drew it ashore and sat down and sorted the good(the Chosen) into containers but threw away the bad. 49 So it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come out and separate the evil from the righteous.” – Matthew 13:47-49
But why did Jesus use “birth pains” to describe “The End Day period“? Is there any relationship with “birth“?Is there any relationship with “birth pains” and “gospel”? Yes, the answer is in the Revelation.
Birth Pains of Heavenly Woman – A first born male child
“3 Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is “born” again he cannot see the kingdom of God.”…
5 Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is “born” of “water” and the “Spirit”, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is “born” of the “Spirit(heavenly woman)” is spirit(Saints).” – John 3:3-6
“And a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman(the heavenly holy spirit organisation) clothed with the sun(belongs to the God Father), with the moon(symbolized Spirit Mother) under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars(having the heavenly Royal Glory of her sons – 12 apostles – 12 stars). 2 She was pregnant and was crying out in birth pains and the agony of giving birth(give birth Jesus and Saints – the rest Offspring).” – Revelation 12:1,2
“She gave birth to a male child(the first born), one who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron, but her child was caught up to God and to his throne” – Revelation 12:5
Who is the first born male child of heavenly woman?
Luke 1:30-33
30 And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary,… you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. 32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the YHWH God will give to him the throne of his father David, 33 and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.
“The Holy Spirit” will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy—the Son of God. – Luke 1:35
“Jesus Christ, 22 who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, with angels, authorities, and powers having been subjected to him.” – 1 Peter 3:22
1260 Days: Heavenly Woman give birth to the Rest Offspring
6 and the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, in which she is to be nourished for “1,260 days(3.5)”. – Revelation 12:6
7 Now war arose in heaven, “Michael” and his angels fighting… 13 And when the dragon saw that he had been thrown down to the earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to the male child. 14 But the woman was given the two wings of the great eagle so that she might fly from the serpent into the wilderness, to the place where she is to be nourished for “a time, and times, and half a time(3.5)”. – Revelation 12:7,13-14
17 Then the dragon became furious with the woman and went off to make war on “the rest of her offspring”, on those who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus.
Therefore, from the 1st century the Heavenly Woman(Holy Spirit) has to give birth the rest of her “Offspring” – “Saints” during this symbolic “1260 days” period; “a time, times, and half a time”; “the symbolic wilderness period”. This period is also called “wheat growing period“; “7 Churches period“. How many of Saints will be born? Are they a limited number?
====================================
Sealing of 144000 Saints period: Wheat Growing period
“He put another parable before them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man[Jesus] who sowed good seed[the sons of the kingdom] in his field,
25 but while his men were sleeping[12 Apostles died], his enemy[Devil] came and sowed weeds[the sons of the evil one] among the wheat[the sons of the kingdom] and went away….
30 Let both grow together[in those days-an unknown period] until the harvest, and at harvest time…” – Matthew 13:20-30
“39 …The harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels.” – Matthew 13:39
Wheat refers to Saints; the heavenly woman give birth to “offspring”-Saints, this period will pass a long unknown period from the 1st century, until the harvest. So it also refers to Revelation 7:1-4, that the 144000 Saints are being sealed until their number is complete. Then the 4 angels will release the 4 destroyed winds, “the end of the age” would come officially.
” 3 saying, “Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees, until we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.” 4 And I heard the number of the sealed, 144,000, sealed from every tribe of the sons of Israel:” – Revelation 7:3,4
This symbolic period is also refers to the “7 Churches” period…
====================================
Seven Churches period
“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always(in “those days”), to the end of the age. ” – Matthew 28:19,20
So at the “those days”; “1260 days”; “a time, times, and half a time”; “3.5”, during this period the Gospel of Kingdom will proclaim to the whole world. This is also the symbolic 7 Churches period which Jesus build his churches period. Jesus would build Church on the rock of Peter and 12 apostles, until to the end of the age.
“And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build “my church“… ” – Matthew 16:18
19 Write therefore the things that you have seen, “those” that are [the 1st century churches] and “those” that are to take place after this [churches in the future].
20 As for the mystery of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden lampstands, the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches. – Revelation 1:19,20
So the symbolic 7 Churches witnessing period was started in 1st century and will pass a long time called “a time, times, and half a time“, until the 7th Church witnessing is ended… What does it mean of “a time” “times” and “half a time”?
====================================
“a time, times, and half a time”
This period may compares with the parable Jesus said…
“a time”:
“For the kingdom of heaven is like a master of a house who went out early in the morning to hire laborers (the 1st century churches – the earliest morning) for his vineyard[make Saints]…
“times”:
3 … about the third hour [the 2nd time slot churches] … he said, ‘You go into the vineyard too’…
[Master]Going out again about the sixth hour[the 3rd time slot churches] and the ninth hour[the 4th time slot churches], he did the same.
“half a time”:
6 And about the eleventh hour, [the final time slot churches], he went out and found others standing. And he said to them, ‘Why do you stand here idle all day?’ … ‘You go into the vineyard too.’
8 And when evening came (the end of the age), the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, ‘Call the laborers and pay them their wages…’ “
– Matthew 20:1-8
====================================
“a time, times, and half a time”, from AD 70…
What is the beginning time of the period “a time, times, and half a time” and “1260 days” ?
1 At that time shall arise “Michael”… And there shall be “a time of trouble”, such as “never has been” since there was a nation till that time…
11 “from the time” that “the regular burnt offering is taken away” and “the abomination that makes desolate is set up” [means beginning from AD 70 Jerusalem destroyed],…
-Daniel 12:1,6-8,11
6 And someone said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the stream, “How long shall it be till the end of these wonders?”
7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the stream; he raised his right hand and his left hand toward heaven and swore by him who lives forever that it would be for “a time, times, and half a time”, and that when the shattering of the power of “the holy people” comes “to an end” all these things would “be finished”. 8 I heard, but I did not understand…
Therefore “from the time” of Jerusalem being destroyed in AD 70, there would be “a time, times, and half a time(3.5)“, Jesus also called this period “birth pains” period or “those days” of Heavenly Woman giving birth of “Offspring“. In 70 AD, God defined that year as the official beginning of “a time, times, and half a time(3.5)“.
====================================
Who are the “Two Witnesses”? What does it mean of “3.5”, “42 months”?
But why not God defines 7 Churches age as “7 periods”, but “a time, times, and half a time” (3.5)? Because there are 2 witnesses(2 Lampstands – 2 Churches) witnessing in the same period, that’s why God defines it “a time, times, and half a time” not “7 times”.
3 And I will grant authority to my “two witnesses“, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth. 4 These are the two olive trees and “the “two lampstands” that stand before the Lord” of the earth. – Revelation 11:3,4
12 Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking to me, and on turning I saw seven golden lampstands, 13 and in the midst of the lampstands one like a son of man[Jesus]… (lampstands that stand before the Lord) – Revelation 1:12,13
20 As for the mystery of… the seven golden lampstands, the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.
According to the Bible the Lord Jesus revealed the mystery of lampstand meaning, lampstand = Church, 2 lampstands = 2 Churches. There are 2 Churches would witnessing at the same time among 7 Churches’ witnessing period (Rev. 11:3,4), then “a time” – 2 Churches; “times” – 4 Churches; “and half a time” – 1 Church; from the 1st century till to the end of the age, that’s why the witnessing period is “3.5 times” not “7 times”. For more please read <The 7 Churches and 7 Stars>.
But could “2 witnesses” means “2 individuals”, “2 prophets”? First of all, Lord Jesus has clearly told us that “witness” means lampstand – Church, so surely not “2 persons”. And also they are “olive trees“, generally Bible use “tree” to define an big organization not “individual person”, like Church is an big global organization. Therefore, “2 witnesses” are “2 worldwide Churches” – “2 global organization”, not “2 individuals”, “2 prophets”. But you know there are 7 prophets(angels) in the 7 Churches.
And this period is also the “3.5” – the last half (3.5) of “One Seven” of Daniel’s prophecy “Seventy Sevens”, also same as the “42 months” (3.5) – the period of Jerusalem being trampled by gentiles, all those refer to the same period from 70 AD till to Jesus come back.
====================================
How long of this period?
” 10 They cried out with a loud voice, “O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, how long before you will judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?” 11 Then they were… told to rest a little longer, “until“… “the number” of their fellow servants and their brothers should be “complete“… ” – Revelation 6:10,11
“Lest you be wise in your own sight, I do not want you to be unaware of this mystery, brothers: a partial hardening has come upon Israel, “until” the “fullness” of the Gentiles(Saints) has come in.” – Romans 11:25
” 3 saying, “Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees, “until” we have “sealed” the servants of our God on their foreheads.” 4 And I heard the number of the sealed, “144,000“, sealed from every tribe of the sons of Israel:” – Revelation 7:3,4
We can say “the those days”; “1260 days”; “wheat growing period”; “a time, times, and half a time” is the period proclaiming Gospel of God’s Kingdom, and this period is what Jesus said he gave “Talents”[Saints] to servants (the 12 firstly Jesus given), and told them to make more “Talents“(Saints make more Saints).
Do you know how to define a period is ended? We know 2 methods to define a period ends, just like how to finish a project: The first method is: assigns a “starting date” and an “end date”. The second method is: assigns a starting date and defines goals have to complete, when all goals have finished, that means the whole project is ended, “those days” of the project is ended too.
Whatever which method you use, “the beginning time(like AD 70)” of a project is very important, otherwise the project would not success for no action, no startup date. We believe “proclaiming Gospel” project is using method 2: to achieve defined goals, for this project has passed a long long time about 2000 years and also there are many uncertains within this project, so it must not defines a literal ending date, but defines and complete goals as the ending.
That’s why Jesus said no one knows the end date, therefore we are sure this period must be the 2nd method to achieve specific goals. In the other words, its’ ending is completing goals one by one, “until” the last goal complete, then the whole project and also that period can be defined “complete” and “end“.
That’s why Bible says “until… the number of their fellow servants… complete“, “until the fullness of the Gentiles(Saints)“, “until we have sealed the servants“. So until… the number complete means the object must be countable or quantitative. Then how many objects – Saints?
“I heard the number of the sealed, 144,000(“goals“) “. That is to say, when the last “Servant” – “Saint” of 144000 is sealed, then “the number” of their brothers are complete (fullness).
Then “the those days”, “1260 days”, “a time, times, and half a time”, “the Heavenly Woman Birth Pains period“, “wheat growing period”, “sealing of the 144000 Saints”, “proclaiming Gospel of God’s Kingdom”, “3.5” is ended, and “42 months” is also ended. It’s like the long iron legs of Statue of Daniel’s dream, it will pass a long time, the ending would be the feet and ten toes.
====================================
“its legs[the 4th Beast- beginning from Roman Empire] of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of clay[the end of the age]. 34 As you looked, a stone[Jesus] was cut out by no human hand, and it struck the image on its feet of iron and clay, and broke them in pieces… But the stone that struck the image became a great mountain[Kingdom of God] and filled the whole earth.” – Daniel 2:33-35
25 He [The 4th Beast-Roman Empire from AD 70] shall speak words against the Most High,
and shall wear out “the Saints” of the Most High,
and shall think to change the times and the law;
and they [Saints] shall be given into his hand
for “a time, times, and half a time”.
26 But the court shall sit in “judgment” [God’s Judgment Day – the end of the age],
and his dominion shall be taken away [the 4th Beast],
to be consumed and destroyed to the end.
27 And the kingdom and the dominion
and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven
shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High;
his kingdom shall be an everlasting kingdom,
and all dominions shall serve and obey him.’ – Daniel 7:25-27
====================================
====================================
Signs of the Ending
====================================
====================================
What makes “The End Day” ending come officially?
====================================
The sign makes the ending come officially would be: “Sealing of 144000 Saints Completed“.
That is to say when the last saint of 144000 is sealed with the Father God’s name and the Lamb’s name on his forehead, the sealing work would be completed(Revelation 7:1-4). This would be the most significant sign points to the Ending.
“25 Lest you be wise in your own sight, I do not want you to be unaware of this mystery, brothers: a partial hardening has come upon Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in.” – Romans 11:25
“6 And someone said to the man clothed in linen… “How long shall it be till the end of these wonders?” 7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, …it would be for “a time, times, and half a time“, and that when the shattering of the power of the holy people comes to an end all these things would be finished.” – Daniel 12:6,7
So when all 144000 are sealed, then four angels will release the 4 destroy winds. But God will certainly not tell us who the last one to be sealed is, nor what time the sealing is complete. Then how do we know “the ending of the Age” has come?
That’s why Jesus told us the ending signs, if we see signs occurs, that means the sealing of 144000 Saints is completed – the end “Day” would come, and all below signs would occur simultaneously.
====================================
1. Reveal Mystery of God’s Word
“When” sealing of 144000 complete, “then” the sealed mysteries of God’s word would open and unlock…
“4 But you, Daniel, shut up the words and seal the book, until the time of the end. Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.” – Daniel 12:4
“3 And those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the sky above; and those who turn many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever. ” – Daniel 12:3
“4 but the wise[virgins] took flasks of oil with their lamps… 6 But at midnight there was a cry, ‘Here is the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.’ 7 Then all those virgins rose and trimmed their lamps.” – Matthew 25:6,7
45 “Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his master has set over his household, to give them their food at the proper time? (reveals God’s word mystery) 46 Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes. – Matthew 24:45,46
“Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven… 2 He had a little scroll open in his hand… 7 but that in the days of the trumpet call to be sounded by the seventh angel, the mystery of God would be fulfilled, just as he announced to his servants the prophets.” – Revelation 10:1-7
Therefore, if you see the mysteries of God’s words was unsealed or unlocked, that means the ending is come.
God’s mysteries include “Mystery of God’s Kingdom”, “Mystery of Seventy Sevens”, “Mystery of the 144000”,
“Mystery of a time, times, and half a time”, “Mystery of 1260 Days”, “Mystery of Seven Churches”,
“Mystery of Babylon the Great”, “Mystery of the 4th Beast ans its’ 10 horns and little horn”, “Mystery of the End Day period”, …
But how do we confirm mystery of God is revealed? For there are many interpretations of God’s mystery.
If all your doubts confused questions inside your heart disappeared after reading a interpretation of God’s mystery, then you would know that is the truth, and this interpretation can fit and unlock any prophecies, parables, God’s word… then you would know and understanding that God’s mystery has revealed. We suggest you to read our website articles to know more.
====================================
2. Michael shall arise; there shall be a time of trouble
“At that time shall arise Michael, the great prince who has charge of your people. And there shall be a time of trouble, such as never has been since there was a nation till that time.” – Daniel 12:1
When the 144000 Saints are sealed complete, the 7th Seal is opened and 7 Trumpets have to blow… The 4 angels released 4 destroy winds, tribulation has come! So during the time of God’s mystery is unlocking, worldwide tribulation would be happened, the climax of Great Tribulation will come soon: it “has not been from the beginning of the creation that God created until now, no and never will be”.
“For in those days there will be such tribulation as has not been from the beginning of the creation that God created until now, and never will be.” – Mark 13:9
“Its end (Seventy Sevens ends) shall come with a flood, and to the end there shall be war. Desolations are decreed.” – Daniel 9:26
“For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, 39 and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.” – Matthew 24:38,39
During this period is also the end of Daniel “Seventy Sevens” prophecy, the ending sign would happen “flood” and “wars” simultaneously. Jesus also proved that “flood” would be happened before his come. And we see both floods and wars are happening together around the world now, and both have last a few years till now, as the before it hasn’t happened both floods and wars together in such long time.
====================================
3. The 7th Seal is opened; 7 Trumpets have to sound
3.1 The 1st Trumpet: “The first angel blew his trumpet, and there followed hail and fire, mixed with blood, and these were thrown upon the earth. And a third of the earth was burned up, and a third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up.” – Revelation 8:7
Now we have seen a third of the earth, a third of tree is burning and all grass would be burned finally, that means the earth temperature would rise higher and higher until the 7 bowls have poured out. Bible Revelation says the 5th, 6th woe would pass away, but not saying the 4 Trumpets’ disasters would be passed away, so maybe these 4 disasters would occur continuously until the last Trumpet has blown.
3.2 The 2nd Trumpet: “The second angel blew his trumpet, and something like a great mountain, burning with fire, was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became blood. 9 A third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.” – Revelation 8:8,9
3.3 The 3rd Trumpet: “The third angel blew his trumpet, and a great star fell from heaven, blazing like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water. 11 The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters became wormwood, and many people died from the water, because it had been made bitter.” – Revelation 8:10,11
3.4 The 4th Trumpet: “The fourth angel blew his trumpet, and a third of the sun was struck, and a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of their light might be darkened, and a third of the day might be kept from shining, and likewise a third of the night.” – Revelation 8:12
Have you seen those signs are happening? The key point about signs(tribulations) that Jesus said is “Never happened before“, have you discovered that the above 4 disasters are never happened before? Also they happened in a large-scale: “a third” of the Earth, sea, rivers and sun!
1. a third of the Earth was burned – never happened before. The before was the Earth covered with Trees and green grass.
2. a great mountain was thrown into the sea, and a third livings of the sea became blood(died) – never happened before for this large-scale – a third was died.
3. a third of the rivers became wormwood (the rivers are polluted like ours’ day) – never happened before. The before was all rivers are clean and clear.
4. a third of the sun was struck, a third of their light are darkened – never happened before. There are no something (obstruction) strucking lights of the sun the moon and stars before, their lights are brightly shining.
Revelation 11:18 indirectly proves that the Earth would being wrecked at the ending time, “…and for destroying the destroyers of the earth”. Maybe the “destroy” include wars and pollutants made by human.
“Woe, woe, woe to those who dwell on the earth, at the blasts of the other trumpets that the three angels are about to blow!” – Revelation 8:13
When the 5th, 6th and 7th Trumpets sounded, it would be the climax of the Great Tribulation, for angel said “woe, woe, woe to those who dwell on the earth”. Say once more, angel did not say the above 4 disasters (the 4 Trumpets) would be passed away, that means maybe they would be happened continuously and would be last till to the 7 bowls are poured out.
====================================
During this period – the ending time period, the little horn would occur. This little horn comes from one of 10 horns of the 4th Beast – Daniel’s dream vision. Also the 4th Beast is the iron legs part of the Statue (Daniel chapter 2), the 4th Beast has ten horns and a little horn.
The 4th Beast is the combination, firstly is the Roman Empire, after that is “ten horns” – European countries – EU (Ten horns are ten kings, they come from and belong to the 4th Beast). And then a little horn comes up from one among 10 horns, the little horn horn is US. The little horn – US force every Countries (people) get its’ mark, otherwise can’t buy or sell.
“Also it (the 8th Beast – the little horn – United States) causes all(Countries), both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, 17 so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name.” – Revelation 13:16,17
“Then I saw another beast (the little horn – United States) rising out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb and it spoke like a dragon (the False Christ – False Prophet). 12 It exercises all the authority of the first beast in its presence, and makes the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose mortal wound was healed. 13 It performs great signs, even making fire come down from heaven to earth in front of people, 14 and by the signs that it is allowed to work in the presence of the beast it deceives those who dwell on earth…” – Revelation 13:11-14
“And the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet (the little horn – United States) who in its presence had done the signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped its image.” – Revelation 19:20
“23 Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There he is!’ do not believe it. (False Christ would appear)
24 For false christs and false prophets (the little horn – United States) will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect.
25 See, I have told you beforehand.” – Matthew 24:23-25
So during the ending time, the little horn will appear, it is also the false Christ and the false prophet, but the end of the 4th Beast, the 10 horns and the little horn will come soon…
Also the period of Jerusalem being trampled will be ended soon too. That means the symbolic “42 months” will be ended, the last symbolic “3.5” of “One Seven” of Seventy Sevens will be ended soon. The building of (New) Jerusalem will be complete soon, and the 6 goals of Seventy Sevens would be fulfilled soon too!

====================================
3.5 The 5th Trumpet: “And the fifth angel blew his trumpet, and I saw a star fallen from heaven to earth, and he was given the key to the shaft of the bottomless pit… 3 Then from the smoke came locusts on the earth, and they were given power like the power of scorpions of the earth… 5 They were allowed to torment them for five months… 6 And in those days people will seek death and will not find it. They will long to die, but death will flee from them.” – Revelation 9:1-11
What is the locusts of 5th Trumpet symbolised? It seems the COVID19 that occurs the whole world, for the 4 disasters 4 Trumpets have happened, and after that happened COVID19 this worldwide disaster, so we say the 5th Trumpet woe seems the COVID19. And during COVID19 period, “people will seek death and will not find it. They will long to die, but death will flee from them“. For people cannot go out and locked at home, people are feeling depressed and willing to die.
This situation (COVID19) has been going on for several years, a symbolic 5 months time, it has never happened before for such global scale and most countries are locked down like that.
And it seems after the 5th woe passed away, there will be a gap timing before the 6th Trumpet is blown. So now maybe we are in this gap period – the period of COVID19 woe has passed but the 6th Trumpet not yet blow, because Revelation 9:12 says,
“ The first woe[the 5th Trumpet] has passed;
behold(wait a time),
two woes are still to come”.
====================================
====================================
During this period, a king of the little horn would appear…
9 Out of one of them came a little horn, which grew exceedingly great toward the south, toward the east, and toward the glorious land… 17 … But he said to me, “Understand, O son of man, that the vision is for the time of the end.” 19 He said, “Behold, I will make known to you what shall be at the latter end of the indignation, for it refers to the appointed time of the end.” – Daniel 8:9-19
23 And at the latter end of their kingdom (the 4th Beast), when the transgressors have reached their limit, a king of bold face, one who understands riddles, shall arise (Donald Trump?). 24 His power shall be great—but not by his own power; and he shall cause fearful destruction and shall succeed in what he does, and destroy mighty men and the people who are the saints. 25 By his cunning he shall make deceit prosper under his hand, and in his own mind he shall become great. Without warning he shall destroy many. – Daniel 8:23-25
So during this ending period, “a king” of the little horn shall arise with bold face and understands riddles, he shall cause fearful destruction without warning. It will be the final ending period…
35 …until the time of the end, for it still awaits the appointed time. 36 “And the king shall do as he wills. He shall exalt himself and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak astonishing things against the God of gods. He shall prosper till the indignation is accomplished; for what is decreed shall be done. – Daniel 11:35,36
37 He shall pay no attention to the gods of his fathers, or to the one beloved by women. He shall not pay attention to any other god, for he shall magnify himself above all. 38 He shall honor the god of fortresses (Golden Dome Missile Defense System?) instead of these. A god whom his fathers did not know he shall honor with gold and silver, with precious stones and costly gifts. 39 He shall deal with the strongest fortresses with the help of a foreign god. Those who acknowledge him he shall load with honor. He shall make them rulers over many and shall divide the land for a price. – Daniel 11:37-39
It seems it is fulfilling today, a king (Donald Trump?) of the little horn (US) shall araise and makes fearful destruction. Let’s see how it develop…
====================================
====================================
3.6 The 6th Trumpet: “Then the sixth angel blew his trumpet, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar before God, 14 saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.” 15 So the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour, the day, the month, and the year, were released to kill a third of mankind. 16 The number of mounted troops was twice ten thousand times ten thousand; I heard their number.” – Revelation 9:13-16
When the 6th Trumpet is blown, the Great Tribulation will reach to its’ climax, a third of mankind will be killed. What does the 6th Trumpet symbolise?
The number of mounted troops was twice ten thousand times ten thousand means or symbolic “the worldwide volcanic eruption”. The troops’ mouth like Lion’s mouth means the crater which come out the fire and smoke and sulfur. The tail like serpent with head means the lava magma. Maybe the eruptions start at the great river Euphrates, for the Revelation says, “Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.”
And it seems “twice ten thousand times ten thousand” volcanoes erupt simultaneously all over the world, including volcanoes under the sea, that’s why Jesus said,
“And there will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth distress of nations in perplexity because of the roaring of the sea and the waves, 26 people fainting with fear and with foreboding of what is coming on the world. For the powers of the heavens will be shaken.” – Luke 21:25,26
====================================
3.6 Rainbow angel of the 6th Trumpet: At the same time, a rainbow angel appear, the ending “there would be no more delay, 7 but that in the days of the trumpet call to be sounded by the seventh angel, the mystery of God would be fulfilled, just as he announced to his servants the prophets.” – Revelation 10:6,7
During the 6th Trumpet period, the mystery of God’s Kingdom that God told his servants the prophets would be fulfilled. The Kingdom of God would be fulfilled and the 144000 Saints are sealed complete, so the ending would come no more delay. Also maybe words of God “prophesy about many peoples and nations and languages and kings” would be announced during this period.
====================================
3.6 Two Witnesses of the 6th Trumpet: Because the sealing of the 144000 Saints have complete, that’s why apostle John was told to measure and count those souls under the altar, make sure no one is missing (Revelation 11:1). Those souls refers to the slains of the 5th Seal, and they stay under the altar. They are the Saints – the chosen ones, they have to wait under the altar until their brothers’ number is complete. So when the rainbow angel announced the God’s mystery is fulfilled, all numbers of 144000 Saints are completed.
They are also symbolised by 2 witnesses prophesy and witnessing “1260 days”, 2 witnesses are 2 lampstands, lampstand means “Church”, tree means “big organization”, so that means there are 2 “worldwide Churches” witnessing together at a symbolic “1260 days”, from the 1st century till to the end of the 6th Trumpet.
Two witnesses – Two Churches are the symbolic worldwide witnessing period of “a time, times, and half a time”. 7 Churches are witnessing from the 1st century till to the end of the Age, each “time” period has 2 Witnesses (Churches) holding testimony. Please read <7 Churches and 7 Stars>. So 2 witnesses would finish their prophesy witnessing mission at the ending of the 6th Trumpet.
” 7 And when they have finished their testimony, the beast (United States) that rises from the bottomless pit will make war on them and conquer them and kill them” – Revelation 11:7
“11 But after the three and a half days a breath of life from God entered them, and they stood up on their feet, and great fear fell on those who saw them. 12 Then they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here!” And they went up to heaven in a cloud, and their enemies watched them.” – Revelation 11:11,12
====================================
3.7 Resurrection of the 7 Churches’ brothers – 144000: So maybe the resurrection of the 7 Churches’ brothers (144000 Saints) would happen after the 6th Trumpet, when the last (7th) Trumpet is sounded they will meet the Lord Jesus in the heaven. They are the slain souls under the altar, they will be resurrected. But the rest – the alive part of 144000, “who lives and believes in me shall never die” (John 11:26), angel will bring them meet with Lord Jesus, someone may calls it “Rapture”.
“Behold! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet (the 7th Trumpet of Revelation). For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed.
53 For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality.” – 1 Corinthians 15:51-53
“At that time shall arise Michael, the great prince who has charge of your people. And there shall be a time of trouble, such as never has been since there was a nation till that time. But at that time your people (144000 Saints) shall be delivered, everyone whose name shall be found written in the book.
2 And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake (resurrection), some to everlasting life…” – Daniel 12:1,2
4 Then he said to me, “Prophesy over these bones (144000 Saints), and say to them, O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord. 5 Thus says YHWH God to these bones: Behold, I will cause breath to enter you, and you shall live.
9 Then he said to me, “Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath, Thus says YHWH God: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these “slain“, that they may live.” 10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived and stood on their feet, an exceedingly great army. 11 Then he said to me, “Son of man, these bones are “the whole house of Israel” (the whole of Heavely Israel).
19 say to them, Thus says YHWH God: Behold, I am about to take the stick of “Joseph” (the heavenly tribe of Joseph)… and the tribes of Israel associated with him. And I will join with it the stick of “Judah“, and make them one stick, that they may be one (heavenly 12 Tribes) in my hand.
21 …Thus says YHWH God: Behold, I will take the people (144000) of Israel from the nations among which they have gone, and will gather them from all around, and bring them to their own land. (the 144000 are from all nations, languages, peoples…)
22 And I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel. And one king (Jesus) shall be king over them all, and they shall be no longer two nations, and no longer divided into two kingdoms.
24 “My servant David (Jesus) shall be king over them, and they shall all have one shepherd. They shall walk in my rules and be careful to obey my statutes.
26 I will make a covenant (New Covenant) of peace with them. It shall be an everlasting covenant with them. And I will set them in their land and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in their midst forevermore. 27 My dwelling place (New Jerusalem) shall be with them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 28 Then the nations will know that I am YHWH who sanctifies Israel, when my sanctuary is in their midst forevermore.”
– Ezekiel 37:1-28
“Then I saw another sign in heaven, great and amazing, seven angels with seven plagues, which are the last, for with them the wrath of God is finished.
2 And I saw what appeared to be a sea of glass mingled with fire—and also those (7 Churches’ brothers – the 144000 saints) who had conquered the beast and its image and the number of its name, standing beside the sea of glass with harps of God in their hands. 3 And they sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb…” – Revelation 15:1-3
So during the last Trumpet the 7th Trumpet is sounded, all 144000 saints would resurrect, they are the whole of Heavely Israel 12 Tribes, and 7 Churches symbolised by 2 witnesses will go to heaven.
====================================
3.7 Seven Bowls have to pour out: “After this I looked, and the sanctuary of the tent of witness in heaven was opened, 6 and out of the sanctuary came the seven angels with the seven plagues, clothed in pure, bright linen, with golden sashes around their chests.” – Revelation 15:5,6
The 1st Bowl: “So the first angel went and poured out his bowl on the earth, and harmful and painful sores came upon the people (countries) who bore the mark of the beast and worshiped its image.” – Revelation 16:2. So maybe many countries occur volcanic eruption like sores.
The 2nd Bowl: “The second angel poured out his bowl into the sea, and it became like the blood of a corpse, and every living thing died that was in the sea.” – Revelation 16:3. Maybe volcanic eruptions occur inside sea, and every living things would died the sea becomes blood.
The 3rd Bowl: “The third angel poured out his bowl into the rivers and the springs of water, and they became blood.” – Revelation 16:4. Maybe volcanic eruptions occur on rivers, they became blood.
The 4th Bowl: “The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was allowed to scorch people with fire.” – Revelation 16:8. Maybe the earth would reach to the most hottest line, people (countries) are scorched by the sun.
It seems the 4 bowls are related to each others, same as the disasters of first 4 Trumpets also related to each others.
=====
The 5th Bowl: “The fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and its kingdom was plunged into darkness. People gnawed their tongues in anguish” – Revelation 16:10. It seems the situation is like the woe of 5th Trumpet, maybe the Beast is painful and willing to die because of sores (volcanic eruption?).
======
The 6th Bowl: “The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up, to prepare the way for the kings from the east. 13 And I saw, coming out of the mouth of the dragon and out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs. 14 For they are demonic spirits, performing signs, who go abroad to the kings of the whole world, to assemble them for battle on the great day of God the Almighty. 16 And they assembled them at the place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon.” – Revelation 16:12-16
“12 And the ten horns (European Union) that you saw are ten kings who have not yet received royal power, but they are to receive authority as kings for one hour, together with the beast (the little horn – United States). 13 These are of one mind, and they (the 10 horns) hand over their power and authority to the beast (the little horn).” – Revelation 17:12,13
“16 And the ten horns (European Union) that you saw, they and the beast (United States) will hate the prostitute (the Devils’ system – the great city has dominion over the kings of the earth). They will make her desolate and naked, and devour her flesh and burn her up with fire,
17 for God has put it into their hearts to carry out his purpose by being of one mind and handing over their royal power to the beast (United States), until the words of God are fulfilled.” – Revelation 17:16,17
=======
The 7th Bowl:
“The seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple, from the throne, saying, “It is done!”
18 And there were flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, and a great earthquake such as there had never been since man was on the earth, so great was that earthquake.
19 The great city was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell, and God remembered Babylon the great, to make her drain the cup of the wine of the fury of his wrath…” – Revelation 16:17-21
Why is the last bowl (the 7th bowl) poured into the “air“? Is “the air” related to Babylon the Great? Yes, and the 7th bowl being poured into “the air” indirectly proves that Babylon the Great is the “the heavenly spirit “system” which has dominion over kings on earth”. Really? What does “the air” refer to?
“in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of “the air“, “the spirit” (Babylon the great) that is now at work in the sons of disobedience—
3 among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the flesh and the “mind” (refers to a golden cup), and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind.” – Ephesians 2:2,3
“And he called out with a mighty voice,
“Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great!
She has become a dwelling place for “demons“,
a haunt for every “unclean spirit“,
a haunt for every unclean bird (unclean angels),
a haunt for every unclean and detestable beast (unclean spirits).”” – Revelation 18:2
“with whom the kings of the earth have committed sexual immorality, and with the wine of whose sexual immorality the dwellers on earth have become drunk… 4 The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, …holding in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of her sexual immorality.” – Revelation 17:2-4
The final 7th Bowl: “19 The great city (Babylon the Great) was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell, and God remembered Babylon the great, to make her drain the cup of the wine of the fury of his wrath…” – Revelation 16:19
“16 And the ten horns that you saw, they and the beast (EU+ US) will hate the prostitute. They will make her desolate and naked, and devour her flesh and burn her up with fire, 17 for God has put it into their hearts to carry out his purpose by being of one mind and handing over their royal power to the beast, until the words of God are fulfilled. 18 And the woman that you saw is the great city that has dominion over the kings of the earth.” – Revelation 17:16-18
What does it mean of the Beast and ten horns devour and burn up Babylon the great? Can the earthly kings burn up the devil’s spirit system? What is this system?
Why did Bible say Babylon the great split into 3 parts? So maybe there are 3 main parts in this system, they are “kings of the earth” – political system; the “merchants of the earth” – trading system; “all shipmasters and seafaring men” – transportation system. So the Devil Satan created this Babylon the great system consisted of these 3 portions (Revelation cheapter 18). These three engines drive the world moving.
Then how could the ten horns and the beast destroy it? Maybe they use “Artificial Intelligence” to destroy and burn up this system, so that means “AI” will crash and disrupt this traditional Babylon system and burn it up. Ten horns and the beast will make her desolate and naked, “naked” means humiliate Devil Satan their system is replaced by the lower level human’s creation.
================== The ending of the End Day ==================
When Babylon the great was burned, “the kings of the whole world who assemble themselves for battle on the great day of God the Almighty”, and the false prophet – the false Christ will announce “peace”.
“For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect.” – Matthew 24:24

And he shall come into countries and shall overflow and pass through. 41 He shall come into the glorious land. And tens of thousands shall fall, but these shall be delivered out of his hand: Edom and Moab and the main part of the Ammonites. 42 He shall stretch out his hand against the countries, and the land of Egypt shall not escape. 43 He shall become ruler of the treasures of gold and of silver, and all the precious things of Egypt, and the Libyans and the Cushites shall follow in his train.” – Daniel 11:40-43
“But news from the east and the north shall alarm him, and he shall go out with great fury to destroy and devote many to destruction. 45 And he shall pitch his palatial tents (as the temple of God) between the sea and the glorious holy mountain…” – Daniel 11:44,45

“And he (the king of little horn) shall even rise up against the Prince of princes, and he shall be broken—but by no human hand.” – Daniel 8:25
“Yet he shall come to his end, with none to help him.” – Daniel 11:46
“And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth with their armies gathered to make war against him who was sitting on the horse and against his army.” – Revelation 19:19
“For as the lightning comes from the east and shines as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 28 Wherever the corpse is (the place where the beast and the kings of the earth gathered together), there the vultures (angels) will gather .” – Matthew 24:27,28
“… when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels 8 in flaming fire, inflicting vengeance on those who do not know God and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. 9 They will suffer the punishment of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might.” – 2 Thessalonians 1:7-9
“20 And the beast (7 headed Beast) was captured, and with it the false prophet (the little horn – the 8th one) who in its presence had done the signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped its image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur.
21 And the rest were slain by the sword that came from the mouth of him who was sitting on the horse, and all the birds (angels) were gorged with their flesh.” – Revelation 19:20,21

35 Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold, all together were broken in pieces, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away, so that not a trace of them could be found. But the stone that struck the image became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.” – Daniel 2:35
” 29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
30 Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31 And he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect (the rest alive of the 144000) from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.” – Matthew 24:29-31
