Proof of Pre-tribulation and correct interpretation of the Seals First of all, this is not the same old incorrect interpretation that old-school pre-tribs have adhered to since the 1800’s. This is really the ironclad truth because it provides an original interpretation of the Seals that is supported by several scriptures, prophecies, and two 70-year periods in Jewish history. This interpretation of the Seals straightens out Revelation’s timeline for the first time, eliminates discrepancies from the previous pre-tribs, as well as manipulations from the post-tribs. In other words, they are both wrong and I can prove it. That may sound bold, but it’s true. I was recently accused of being prideful (by someone I knew) for even suggesting that scholars with ‘PHD’ after their names were wrong and I was right. Yet, those PHDs are just learning what the previous generation taught, which was wrong to begin with. None will stand up for the truth because they are scared of getting kicked out of their particular denomination. How often were the religious scholars in the Bible such as the Pharisees ever correct in their interpretations? Why would someone think that modern times would be any different? God is the same. Paul said, “God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise. God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. He chose the lowly things of this world … so that no one may boast before him.” (1 Cor 1:27-29) I’m not trying to boast; I’m just standing up for the truth. Biblical end times is like a math problem (systems of equations), but when everything fits together and you’ve checked it multiple times, you can be confident that it’s right. Confidence is not the same as pride because I’m not hyping myself. Personally, I’m remaining anonymous, which is based on Biblical principles (see Matt 6:1-4 and John 5:43-44). I’m not anonymous because I’m ashamed or unsure of my findings, but because I don’t want to take any credit away from God who is really responsible. I know what I know because God has blessed me with that knowledge. I think it would be a disservice to God’s blessing to act wishy-washy and unsure when I’m actually very sure. Anonymity is the only way I know to remain humble while exhibiting the necessary confidence to get God’s message across. I hope everyone understands. To God be the glory. Let me start by saying that there is no rapture in Revelation 4, which is what the old-school pre-tribs have been saying since the 1800’s. Revelation 4 is just an initial view of Heaven that was shown to John. There is no multitude of people in Revelation 4, as there is in Revelation 7:9. I’ve heard some try to account for this by saying that the 24 elders become the multitude after they lay down their crowns in Rev 4:10. However, that’s ridiculous because there’s one or more elders mentioned in Revelation 5, 7, 11, 14, and 19. The elders can’t transform into something else and still be themselves in later chapters. Besides, Revelation 5 is clearly Jesus’ crucifixion when He becomes the slain Lamb. The rapture would not be before the crucifixion. The scholars in the 1800’s just picked Revelation 4 because they wanted a spot before the Seals, since they thought the Seals were part of tribulation, which is untrue (more on that later). I admit, the Seals would have been hard to interpret in the 1800’s (much easier post-WWII), but they should have known better than to put the rapture before the crucifixion. Modern pre-tribs should be honest with themselves and correct past mistakes. One mistake that pre-tribs and post-tribs both make is that they insist that the Seals are in the future, but Seals 1-5 were during the past 2000 years. To start with, they both try to say that Seal 1 is the antichrist or Satan (starting the tribulation), but the Rider on the White Horse is clearly Jesus, since Jesus is clearly the Rider on the White Horse in Rev 19:11-16. Note: That’s ‘scripture verifying scripture’, which scholars usually try to emphasize, except when it contradicts their claims. Then, they try to ignore it. Anyway, Seal 1, in Rev 6, is clearly Jesus’ resurrection because it not only matches Rev 19, but it perfectly follows the crucifixion in Rev 5. I’ve heard some try to dispute this obvious connection by saying that the two riders have different weapons. Yet, that’s a ridiculous attempt to justify past mistakes because they represent Jesus at different times: Seal 1 is the resurrection and Revelation 19 is Armageddon, over 2000-years later, so a different weapon is irrelevant. Both the old-school pre-tribs and post-tribs won’t admit that Seals 1-5 are in the past because it completely destroys their whole theory of end times. Yet, I think the Bible clearly shows that Seal 1 was the resurrection and I will explain the rest of the Seals below with more Biblical proof. Seal 2 was the three Jewish revolts, which spanned from 66 AD to 136 AD. Notice the 70-year span, which I think God planned as proof at the proper time. Also, the first revolt, 66 AD to 70 AD, resulted in the destruction of the 2^nd Temple, which Jesus prophesied in Matthew 24:2. The third Jewish revolt, 132 AD to 136 AD, resulted in the total banishment of the Jews from Palestine, which fulfilled the first part of Jeremiah 16:14-15 because they had to be banished before they could be restored to their own nation again. So, given the fact that the Jewish revolts fulfilled two Biblical prophecies and spanned 70-years, I think that’s adequate proof that Seal 2 was the Jewish revolts (66 AD to 136 AD). Seal 3 is vaguer, but in general, I think Seals 2-4 fulfill God’s prophecy in Jeremiah 16:14-15 about the Jews, from banishment to restoration. Seal 3 sounds a little strange but it basically describes a business transaction when food is scarce. Yet, I think God designed it where the Jews were on the profitable side of each transaction. It may be an old stereotype to say that Jews are shrew in business, but I think God intended it that way, so they would have the funds to ‘buy’ their way into the Promised Land when the time came. The Ottomans made that possible in 1858 when they forced the Arabs to register their land and obtain deeds. That gave the Jews the ability to officially purchase the land from the registered owners. The first purchase was a 28-family settlement called Petah Tikvah in 1878. The Arab politicians realized what was happening and urged people not to sell to the Jews, which caused prices to escalate up to 10x their value. Yet, the Jews had the money to pay, due in part by their shrewd business practices in the 3^rd Seal. Seal 4 finished what Seal 3 started because Seal 4 was the Holocaust, which sped Jewish migration into the Promised Land and resulted in their declaration of independence in 1948. Notice the 70-year span from their 1^st settlement, in 1878, to their independence in 1948. That means God embedded two 70-year periods in Seals 2-4 as proof when the time came. As for Seal 4 matching the Holocaust, the verse says that ‘death’ was given “power over a fourth of the earth to kill …” It does not say that a fourth of people on earth were killed. I think it was phrased that way because the Jews were scattered over the earth. During the Holocaust, six million Jews were killed, out of a total 18 million worldwide, which is actually one-third. However, if the estimated 1.5 million children are subtracted, then the 4.5 million adults equal exactly one-fourth as the verse says. In any event, it was plenty to satisfy the verse. Plus, all the various methods of death can be accounted for during the Holocaust. As a result, the Jewish population in Palestine went from 11% in 1933 to about 33% in 1945. It also gave them a vote of sympathy in the UN, which resulted in their independence in 1948, completing the 70-year period and fulfilling the last part of Jeremiah 16:14-15. Seal 5 is just a waiting period while the gospel is spread throughout the world, as prophesied in Matthew 24:14. Unfortunately, some Christian missionaries were martyred in their efforts, as described in Seal 5. It’s interesting to note that the spread of the gospel in Matt 24:14 is right before the abomination in Matt 24:15, which is when the rapture occurs, just like Seal 5 is right before Seal 6, which is also the rapture. That’s another case of ‘scripture verifying scripture’. Anyway, we are presently in that waiting period, but with the advancement of television and internet, the gospel has surely reached worldwide. Therefore, Seals 1-5 were completed during the last 2000-years, which also fills a noticeable gap in the Bible’s general timeline. Therefore, my interpretation just make good sense because I don’t think God would leave a gap like that. It also proves ‘pre-tribulation’ because Seal 6 is next. Seal 6 is clearly the rapture because the signs in the sun, moon, and stars perfectly match the rapture in Matthew 24:29-31. Plus, the ‘great multitude from every nation’ appears in heaven, standing before the throne, with palm branches in their hands, signifying ‘arrival’, right after the 6^th Seal. (Rev 7:9) Yet, they are in heaven ‘before’ the 7^th Seal (Rev 8:1), which is just a half-hour of silence before the trumpet plagues can start. Revelation 8 clearly shows that the trumpet plagues can’t start until the 7^th Seal ‘silence’ is done. Thus, the great multitude of Christians are in heaven ‘between’ the 6^th and 7^th Seals, and the trumpet plagues can’t start until afterwards. That means, the trumpet plagues and subsequent bowl plagues are the post-rapture tribulation, not the Seals. All old-school pre-tribs should adopt this explanation of end times because it makes perfect sense and post-tribs can’t dispute it like they do the old theory from the 1800’s. My explanation of the Seals is verified by other scriptures, numerous fulfilled prophecies, and two 70-year periods in Jewish history. It is important for pre-tribs to correct their timeline of Revelation because the 6^th Seal Rapture is the only gentile rapture and falsely telling people that they get a second chance during tribulation can tragically cause them to procrastinate before accepting Jesus.

2. Pre-tribulation also supported by Matthew 24 / Disproving Post-tribs. I think one reason pre-tribs balk at the mere thought of the rapture being the 6^th Seal comes from the fact that the 6^th Seal perfectly matches the rapture in Matthew 24:29-31. Old-school pre-tribs try to avoid or ignore that comparison because post-tribs try to use it to support their scenario. However, it doesn’t. If you understand Revelation correctly as I’ve explained, then this obvious comparison still supports ‘pre-tribulation’. A key fact that I haven’t mentioned yet, but is very important, is that there are two separate groups in Revelation 7, following the 6^th Seal rapture, so there must be two separate groups in Matthew 24:15-31. After all, the two Biblical accounts of end times must match. In Revelation 7, there are 144,000 Israelites (Jews) who are ‘sealed’ (selected), but remain on earth through the trumpet plagues, at which time they are martyred for not taking the mark of the beast (Rev 14), and later become priests during Jesus’ 1000-year reign on earth (Rev 20). The other group is the great multitude of Christians from every nation that I mentioned. They are obviously two separate groups because the first is from the 12-tribes of Israel and the second is from every nation. They are both addressed following the 6^th Seal rapture (between Seals 6 and 7), so there must be the same two groups in Matthew 24:15-31, following the abomination. One way to show that the abomination and rapture happen together is that Jesus instructs Judea to flee immediately to the mountains when the abomination is set up, and people are hiding in the mountains, after the 6^th Seal, who see the Lamb in the sky and mourn. (Rev 6:15-17) After the abomination, Matthew 24 goes on to say, “there will be a great distress, unequalled from the beginning of the world until now – and never to be equaled again.” (Matt 24:21) That ‘distress’ is the post-rapture tribulation (trumpets and bowls). After that, Jesus describes the two groups, one-by-one, just like Revelation 7 later describes in more detail. Doesn’t it make more sense to use God’s final, more detailed account to explain the earlier description given to the disciples, rather than the other way around? Yet, post-tribs won’t do that because they rest their entire theory on Matthew 24:15-31 being just one group, which is false because it contradicts Revelation 7. Another thing to show that the two groups in Revelation 7 are before the Trumpet plagues (and subsequent Bowl plagues) is that the angels are told to wait, “Don’t harm the land or the sea or the trees until we put a seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God. … 144,000 from all the tribes of Israel.” (Rev 7:3-4) Well, the first two trumpet plagues do exactly that: harm the land, sea, and trees, so the 144,000 are obviously sealed (Rev 7) before the trumpet plagues can begin (Rev 8). Post-tribs love to point out that Matthew 24:29 says, “Immediately after the tribulation of those days …” (KJV) They try to ignore everything else, such as the two groups and trumpets after the 7^th Seal, to say, “See, it says after the tribulation.” However, that one phrase doesn’t prove anything because when John is discussing the great multitude of Christians who had just arrived after the 6^th Seal rapture, one of the elders says, “These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.” (Rev 7:14) Notice that the ’great tribulation’ is mentioned ‘past-tense’ because the multitude was already there. If you understand the Seals, it makes perfect sense because the elder is saying that the multitude came from Seals 1-6 (resurrection to rapture), from the previous chapter. It makes perfect sense because that’s the only time a person could ‘wash their robes in the blood of the Lamb’: after the crucifixion/resurrection (Rev 5/Seal 1), but before the rapture (Seal 6). In other words, the great multitude of Christians, in Revelation 7, is the bride of Christ who were saved by ‘faith in Jesus’ during the ‘great tribulation’ (resurrection to rapture / Seals 1-6). So, going back to Matt 24:29, it makes perfect sense for the verse to say, “after the tribulation of those days” because the abomination (and 6^th Seal rapture) will mark the end of the ‘great tribulation’ (Seals 1-6), where the multitude came from. (see chart left) [Matthew 24 page] So you see, old-school pre-tribs should not be scared to embrace this new explanation of ‘pre-tribulation’. It corrects all their flaws in Revelation and recognizes that the 6^th Seal rapture matches Matthew 24:29-31. Yet, the post-tribs can’t dispute that ‘pre-tribulation’ is correct because Seals 1-5 were obviously in the past, and Revelation 7 has two groups, same as Matthew 24:15-31. 2b. Exposing Post-tribs as False Prophets Post-tribs admit that the 6^th Seal is the rapture, but they manipulate and rearrange God’s prophecy in Revelation by overlapping the Seals, Trumpets, and Bowls, so the 6^th Seal rapture will appear to come at the end, thus matching their incorrect interpretation of Matthew 24. Yet, like I said, it makes better sense to use God’s final, most detailed account of end times to explain the earlier, rather than the other way around. Here’s the nail in their coffin: When overlapping the Seals, Trumpets, and Bowls, they attempt to put everything before the 6^th Seal rapture. Yet, it is clear to see in Rev 8:1-7 that the half-hour of silence (Seal 7) comes before the trumpet plagues. I mean, they are literally one right after the other, in the same chapter, and trumpets obviously can’t sound during a silence. Thus, the trumpets are clearly after the 7^th Seal. Yet, in overlapping, the post-tribs put the trumpet plagues before the 6^th Seal rapture. So, how can the trumpet plagues be before the 6^th Seal, but after the 7^th Seal? That math just don’t add up! The reason I say that post-tribs are false prophets is that it is forbidden to subtract from God’s prophecy in Revelation. God said, “And if anyone takes words away from this book of prophecy, God will take away from him his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.” (Rev 22:19) That may sound harsh, but taking away from God’s prophecy and teaching their own version is the basic definition of a false prophet. That agrees with what Jesus said, “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. … 21 Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'” (Matt 7:15; 21-23) When you think about it, ‘prophesying in Jesus’ name’ is the only activity mentioned that could get someone labeled as false prophet or evildoer. I mean, driving out demons and performing miracles are things that God chooses to do based on faith. Prophesying in Jesus’ name is the only activity mentioned that could be done by the individual, and incorrectly taught to others, thus violating God’s warning in Revelation 22. Post-tribs will try to say that overlapping doesn’t subtract from Revelation, but it does. The Seals, Trumpets, and Bowls are three distinct time periods. Overlapping attempts to combine everything into one period, so it subtracts the other two. First of all, the Seals sound nothing like the Trumpets and Bowls because they were during the last 2000 years. The Trumpets and Bowls have a similar pattern but are vastly different because the Bowls are much more severe. I mean, the first-four trumpets are a ‘third’ of this and a ‘third’ of that, while the Bowls are ‘all’ of this and ‘all’ of that. The 2^nd Trumpet and 2^nd Bowl are even talking about the same thing. That’s not justification for overlapping; it’s just the opposite. The 2^nd Trumpet turns a ‘third’ of the sea to blood, kills a ‘third’ of sea creatures, and destroys a ‘third’ of ships. The 2^nd Bowl turns ‘all’ the sea to blood and kills ‘all’ the sea creatures. A post-trib will say, “Well, if all are killed, then a third is also killed.” However, the latter is subtracting the former because they are really happening during two separate time periods. I discuss the post-rapture more below, but in general, the Trumpets happen in the first part of tribulation, while the two witnesses are prophesying and the antichrist is rising to power, and the Bowls happen in the final part of tribulation, after the two witnesses are killed and ascend to heaven, which is when the mark of the beast takes place. Of course, while overlapping and subtracting, the post-tribs re-arrange God’s prophecy and put the antichrist and mark of the beast first, which is deceptive and wrong. Most post-tribs generally subtract the two witnesses by changing the days to years and saying they aren’t real men, but Rev 11:6 says they are real men, and the 1260-days are obviously the same 42-months that the antichrist rises in Rev 13, so the days are days. I discuss that more in the post-rapture section below. I’m just saying that overlapping the Seals, Trumpets, and Bowls is obviously wrong because it introduces contradictions such as the Trumpets following the 7^th Seal and forces things to be subtracted and re-arranged, which radically changes God’s prophecy in Revelation. Like I said, someone who changes God’s prophecy and teaches their own version is the basic definition of a false prophet. I’m not trying to judge; I’m just pointing out what the Bible says. It’s important because people need to be ready for the rapture at any time. Yet, post-tribs have people believing that Jesus won’t come back until all these other things take place such as the antichrist and mark of the beast. Thus, people think they can procrastinate before being saved because they can wait for all these other things, which is not true. Listening to post-tribs and procrastinating could cost a lot of people their chance at heaven, which is probably why Jesus said, “Leave them; they are blind guides. If a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.” (Matt 15:14) Now, I don’t think God punishes people for making an honest mistake, but if a person thinks they know enough about end times to teach others, then they should have seen God’s warning in Revelation 22 and understood basic common sense such as the Trumpets following the 7^th Seal in Revelation 8. If they ignore God’s clear warning, then they must have some ulterior motive to do so. I can’t judge, but God will judge accordingly, as Paul said, “Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait till the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of men's hearts. At that time each will receive his praise from God.” (1 Cor 4:5) I’ll say one last thing about false prophets because a person once told me that she thought false prophets were atheists or Muslims or something, not Christians. On the contrary, Jesus called false prophets ‘wolves in sheep’s clothing’. (Matt 7:15) Atheists and Muslims are not in sheep’s clothing trying to pretend to be something they’re not. Paul put it more bluntly, “For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, masquerading as apostles of Christ. 14 And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. 15 It is not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve.” (2 Cor 11:13-15) So, just because someone claims to be a Christian doesn’t mean they are serving God and telling you the truth. They could have ulterior motives in mind such as financial gain. People should read their Bibles and check things for themselves. I encourage people to check what I’ve said because if they do, I think they’ll find I’m telling the truth. I’m just trying to expose false prophets and false teachers just like Paul did in his day. Honestly, a person with pure motives should be happy to learn the truth, while there’s still time to repent and be forgiven.

3. Post-rapture Timeline from Daniel, Revelation, and more. The post-rapture timeline is not that complicated when you understand the Seals, which were during the past 2000 years. Thus, the post-rapture tribulation consists of events during the Trumpets and Bowls, not the Seals. Right after the 6^th Seal rapture, as the Trumpets are starting, God’s two witnesses will appear in Jerusalem and begin prophesying for 1260-days. One can tell that their prophesying coincides with the trumpet plagues because, after they are killed and lie in the street for three-and-a-half days, they arise and ascend to heaven just as the 7^th trumpet sounds. (Rev 11:7-15) Thus the trumpet plagues last for approximately 1263-days (42-months). The antichrist and armies of the beast are allowed to rise to power for 42-months (Rev 13:5), which is undoubtedly the same 42-months because it’s the beast who overpowers and kills the two witnesses. (Rev 11:7) The 3^rd Temple is also built while the two witnesses are prophesying because they are told to do an initial ‘measurement’. (Rev 11:1-2) A measurement can be thought of as a survey, which is the first step of any building project. They also have the power to hold back the opposition with fire and plagues while the Temple is being built. (Rev 11:3-6) This is consistent with Paul’s prophecy that the antichrist (man of lawlessness) will “set himself up in God’s Temple, proclaiming to be God” (2 Thess 2:4), since the antichrist could only do that after the Temple is built and the two witnesses are killed, which is at the end of the first 42-months. 3b. 2^nd Thessalonians 2:1-5 By the way, ‘pre-tribulation’ is consistent with 2^nd Thess 2:1-5, which is also something that post-tribs like to use. However, Paul’s prophecy in 2^nd Thess 2 was never meant to be a definitive timeline because Paul was just squashing a rumor that the rapture had already occurred (vs.1-2). Paul even says that he is just trying to refresh their memory. (v5) In verses 3-4, Paul is actually naming things that he had previously explained from the Book of Daniel. The “rebellion” in verse 3 is the same as the “rebellion that causes desolation” in Daniel 8:13-14, which is a combination of the ‘uprising and abomination’ in Daniel 11:31. The antichrist ‘proclaiming to be God’ in verse 4 is almost identical to the antichrist in Daniel 11:36. Thus, 2^nd Thess 2:3 is like Daniel 11:31, and 2^nd Thess 2:4 is like Daniel 11:36 (five verses later). A lot happens in those five verses of Daniel 11. In fact, there are 42-months between 2^nd Thessalonians verses 3 and 4 because the abomination in Daniel 11:31 is when the rapture happens and the antichrist ‘proclaims to be God’, in Daniel 11:36, after the two witnesses have finished prophesying and are killed, which is 42-months later, as indicated in Revelation 11. Everything fits together and makes perfect sense when God’s prophecy in Revelation is left straight forward, as God intended. 3c. The 2300-days The total duration from Rapture to Armageddon is given as 2300-days in Daniel 8:13-14, which is 78-lunar months (2300 days /29.5 = 78 months). Daniel 8:13 actually lists three events that occur at the beginning, middle, and end of the post-rapture timeline. (see chart left) First, the “rebellion that causes desolation” is when the rapture occurs. Then, the “surrender of the sanctuary” is after 42-months when the antichrist kills the two witnesses and sets himself up in God’s Temple. Then, the “host that will be trampled underfoot” describes Armageddon when Jesus will defeat the armies of the beast. The total will take 2300-days (78-lunar months), at which time the “sanctuary will be reconsecrated,” which Jesus will do after Armageddon, since it will have been defiled by the antichrist. 3d. The Bowl plagues and Mark of the Beast Unlike the Trumpets, which take 42-months, the Bible doesn’t say how long the Bowl plagues last, but from simple subtraction, it is found that they take about 36-months (78 - 42 = 36 months). During those 36-months, the false prophet will enact the mark of the beast, as described in Revelation 13:11-18. A person can tell that the mark of the beast is during the last 36-months because the false prophet is the second beast in Revelation 13 and the first beast (antichrist) was given the first 42-months. (Rev 13:5) Plus, everything that the false prophet does is on “behalf of the first beast” whose fatal wound had been healed, so it must take place afterward. I suspect that the antichrist gets his near fatal wound during the earthquake that destroys a tenth of Jerusalem and kills 7000 people, which follows the ascension of the two witnesses (Rev 11:11-13), but that is my own theory. No one will be allowed to buy or sell without the mark, which I’m pretty sure will be linked to a particular cryptocurrency, since the mark on a person’s right hand could lead to their crypto wallet, which everyone could be required to have. The technology is already here. I also find it very interesting that Trump is heavily into cryptocurrencies ... just a sign of the times in which we live. 3e. Daniel 12 - The 1290 and 1335 days The mark of the beast could be enacted at various times, in various countries, during those 36- months, but the Bible is very specific about Israel. In general, Daniel 12 is speaking directly about the Jews (Daniel’s own people), and Daniel 12:11-12 says, “From the time that the daily sacrifice is abolished and the abomination that causes desolation is set up, there will be 1290-days. Blessed is the one who waits for and reaches the end of the 1335-days.” I have seen many people try to manipulate this verse by saying there’s 1290-days from the daily sacrifice ‘to’ the abomination, but that’s not what it says. It says from the daily sacrifice ‘and’ the abomination, which is understandable because they happen together, in the same verse, in Daniel 11:31, so there’s not that much time between them. Daniel 12:11 is saying that there’s 1290-days from the daily sacrifice ‘and’ abomination (rapture) to some undisclosed event on the post-rapture timeline. However, I’m pretty sure that’s when the false prophet will enact the mark of the beast in Israel, since that’s 30-days after the killing of the two witnesses, so their protection is taken away. That is consistent with those being ‘blessed’ for waiting and reaching the 1335-days because I think that’s when the 144,000 are martyred for refusing the mark of the beast. (Rev 14) Thus, the 144,000 who are specifically ‘sealed’ by God only have to avoid the mark for 45-days, but that’s a long time not to buy and sell. That is consistent with the first group in Matthew 24, which says, “If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect, those days will be shortened.” (Matt 24:22) Jesus went on to say, “For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect - if that were possible.” (Matt 24:24) The 144,000 who receive God’s seal will not be deceived and will only need to avoid the mark for 45-days, at which time they will be hunted down and martyred, but that’s a good thing because they will be ‘blessed’ as a result. So you see, the post-rapture timeline, from Rapture to Armageddon, is not that hard to understand. I’ve seen people manipulating things by changing the days to years, adding and subtracting the 1290 and 1335, and making excuses when things don’t add up. However, it’s very simple when you understand that 1260, 1290, and 1335 are all milestones on the same 2300-day timeline. [chart on the left]

4. The Gog and Magog War One thing I hear post-tribs repeatedly get wrong is when they mention the Gog and Magog War from Ezekiel 38 and 39 like it’s supposed to happen before the rapture. It doesn’t even happen within the 2300-days or before Armageddon, because it happens at the end of Jesus’ 1000-year reign. (Rev 20:7-10+) I mean, other than the genealogies, that’s the only two times that Gog and Magog are mentioned in the Bible, and both are in the context of wars, so they must the same. Besides, they are unique from other wars because the enemy is defeated with ‘fire’. In the case of Ezekiel, God ‘rains down burning sulfur’ (Eze 38:22), which doesn’t happen at Armageddon, only the Post-1000-year War when ‘fire comes down from heaven and devours them’ (Rev 20:9). That’s scripture verifying scripture. Ezekiel mentions the ‘land’ of Israel, but that’s only because it’s the general area where the bride of Christ, who is raptured and attends the Wedding Supper of the Lamb, will be living during Jesus’ 1000-year reign. It’s not surprising that post-tribs try to put Ezekiel 38 before the rapture because they try to put everything before the rapture, but it’s clearly just another of their many errors. (see illustration on left) 7. The Significance of October 7^th, 2023, and its Effect on Current Events There are two other prophecies about end times that I’d like to mention. Jesus said, “When you see Jerusalem being surrounded by armies, you will know that its desolation is near.” (Luke 21:20) You know that Jesus was talking about the ‘abomination that causes desolation’ because the next verse mentions fleeing to the mountains, like Matt 24. On the other hand, Paul prophesied, “For you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. 3 While people are saying, "Peace and safety," destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape. 4 But you, brothers, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief.” (1 Thess 5:2-4) It sounds a little ironic that armies will be surrounding Jerusalem, but they will be saying ‘peace and safety’. However, I think that is characteristic of Israel’s present situation. The attack by Hamas and others on Oct 7^th, 2023, was highly significant. At first, I thought it might be the ‘sudden destruction’ in Paul’s prophecy because Paul doesn’t mention the abomination directly, and Israel was having normalization talks with Saudi Arabia at the time. Yet, as time goes by, I think the sudden destruction is still on its way and will coincide with the uprising that sets up the abomination. The attack by Hamas was still very important because it put Israel on the offensive where they went to war with Hamas, Hezbollah, and even Iran. The results were incredible, and Israel’s enemies are all reduced in strength. Israel struck a cease fire with Hezbollah in Nov-2024 and with Iran in June-2025. They are working on a deal with Hamas, to get the hostages, but it remains to be seen if they can settle their differences. My point is: It seems like Israel has angered their surrounding enemies more than ever, but with their victories and cease fires, they are saying ‘peace and safety’ more than ever too. As Paul said, the day of the Lord will come like a ‘thief in the night’, but those who watch the signs will not be as surprised. The current signs fit the prophecies as well as they ever have, so I’m very hopeful. I don’t think a deal with Hamas in Gaza really matters that much because I think the uprising that sets up the abomination will come from the West Bank, simply due to its location. There has certainly been plenty of unrest in the West Bank lately. There is also talk of Israel annexing the West Bank, as ‘completion’ to their victories, which is something that could anger the Palestinians enough to start a 3^rd Intifada, which literally means ‘armed uprising’, of which there have already been two (1987-1993 and 2000-2005), so another is definitely feasible. 6. Daniel 11 (God’s Book of Truth) Daniel 11 is an important chapter because it is the only chapter that was specifically “sealed until the time of the end.” (Daniel 12:4) It contains the most detailed list of events that lead to the abomination that causes desolation (and beyond to Armageddon). When Jesus started explaining end times to His disciples, He started by mentioning the Abomination, spoken of by the prophet Daniel, as the time when Judea should flee to the mountains. He gave two examples to convey urgency. Like I’ve said, the abomination is when the rapture will happen as illustrated by some who are in the mountains and see Jesus in the air and mourn because they didn’t believe. That makes Daniel 11’s list of events leading to the abomination extremely important, which is probably why it was ‘sealed’ and the angel called it God’s Book of Truth. When I first began to study end times, almost 30-years ago, I was reading Matthew 24 and asked God for further understanding. God pointed me directly to the abomination from the Book of Daniel as the key to better understanding. Come to find out, Daniel mentions the abomination four times, in chapters 8, 9, 11, and 12, which all fit together, along with Revelation, to form a definitive timeline with the 1260, 1290, 1335, and 2300-days. I could see that Daniel 11 gave the most detailed list of events, but I could also see that the NIV study notes were obviously wrong. I spent many years studying the history of the Middle East in order to interpret Daniel 11 correctly. Sad to say, it was one factor that contributed to the downfall of my second marriage. I was only partially successful at first, and gave up my quest for many years, but in 2010, God lured me back. And with advancements in the internet, I was able to find the missing pieces. In general, Daniel 11 is a list of mostly Muslim empires that controlled the Middle East, some of them divided by north and south. The final empire that sets up the abomination, in verse 31, actually starts in verse 21, which perfectly describes the Islamic Revolution of Iran in 1979. That’s consistent with the abomination in the 70^th Seven, which also deals with Iran, as I mentioned above. When I finished piecing together the historical verses, in 2010, we were only half-way through verse 22. It has been a long road, but the other verses indeed took place, one-by-one. Some of the verses didn’t involve Iran directly but did contribute to their rise to power beyond their borders, such as the ISIS invasion of Mosul, in 2014 (verse 24), which gave Iran the opportunity to advance militarily into Iraq and Syria, through their militias, which is a key characteristic of the ‘king of the north’ in Daniel 11. I have a page on Daniel 11, with short summaries of each verse, with links to the individual pages with more details. I also have a page explaining the past interpretations of Daniel 11, of which there were only two, probably because it’s very complicated to interpret. It’s easy to see how they were wrong, but that’s understandable since Daniel 11 was specifically ‘sealed until the time of the end’. However, now God has allowed it to be ‘unsealed’. In general, all the verses through verse 30 have taken place, so the abomination in verse 31 could happen at any time. Verse 30 ends with a vague description of the king of the north ‘venting his fury against the holy covenant’ and ‘showing favor to those who forsake the holy covenant’. Of course, the ‘holy covenant’ is Israel’s possession of Palestine. ‘Venting fury and showing favor’ could just be angry words towards Israel and trying to get others to join along, which has long been satisfied, but will likely continue until the uprising and abomination, in Daniel 11:31, take place. That is consistent with the gospel continuing to be spread in Matt 24:14 until the abomination takes place in Matt 24:15. Likewise, the gospel is spread in Seal 5 until the rapture takes place in Seal 6. I think God left all those connections vague on purpose, so no one could decipher the exact day of the rapture. However, all God’s clues indicate that we are very close. 5. The 70th Seven (Daniel 9:27 NIV) You may have noticed that I never said the post-rapture tribulation was 7-years because it’s not. Most people make that mistake because they assume that Daniel’s 70^th Seven is the post-rapture tribulation, but it’s not. The abomination takes place in the “midst of the seven” (Dan 9:27 KJV), which means it happens some time ‘within’ the 70^th Seven, but that is different from the 2300-days (Daniel 8:13-14), which ‘begins’ with the abomination and rapture. In other words, if the abomination ‘starts’ the 2300-days, but happens in the ‘midst’ of the seven, they obviously can’t be the same time period. Besides, 2300-days is 78-lunar months, which is about 6.3 years, not 7 years. Personally, I think we are already within the 70^th Seven, more towards the end actually, so the abomination could happen at any time. (I have a separate page on the 70^th Seven, so I won’t go into the whole thing here.) But briefly, people assume the covenant in the 70^th Seven deals with Israel, but it has nothing to do with Israel because the same entity that confirms the covenant sets up the abomination, and the ‘end that is decreed is poured out on him’. I think the “covenant with many” was the Iranian nuclear agreement (JCPOA) and the most likely “confirmation” was between Iran and the E3 after Trump dropped out of the agreement. That’s my own opinion, but it makes sense that Iran or one of their allies would set up the abomination, since Iran is leader of the final empire in Daniel 11. (next) 8. God’s Timeline of 37’s Over the years, God led me to discover some other interesting things such as God’s Timeline of 37’s, which is a series of important events that occurred over multiples of 37-years. Some of the events were even contained in Daniel 11. I know God led me to the discovery because, one day, I was just thinking about my Dad’s birthday, which was January 11^th, or 1-11, and I heard God say (in my mind), “Is 111 a prime number?” I know it was God because I hadn’t thought about prime numbers in decades. Of course, 111 is not a prime number because 37 x 3 = 111. Yet, 37 is a fairly large prime number, which also goes into 666, which I found interesting. Long story short, that simple question led me to discover God’s Timeline of 37’s, which only God could orchestrate. God’s Timeline of 37’s actually started when the angel appeared to Daniel and gave him God’s Book of Truth, in 537 BC. It was 31-units of 37-years (1147-years) later when Muhammad received his vision, in 610 AD, that led to the religion of Islam (Daniel 11:5). It was 18-units of 37-years (666-years) between Muhammad’s vision in 610 AD and Osman’s vision in 1276 (v.14), which led to the Ottoman empire, which united the north and south in Daniel 11 for over 400-years (vs.15-19). And for the cream of the crop, it was 37-units of 37-years (1369-years) between Muhammad’s vision in 610 AD and the Islamic Revolution of Iran in 1979 (v.21), which started the final empire in Daniel 11. In other words, it was 37x37 years between the start of the first Muslim empire (v.5) and the last Muslim empire (v.21), which is pretty amazing. I have a separate page on God’s Timeline of 37’s, with some other events, but those are the main ones. I think it has something to do with God’s riddle in Rev 13:18, which says, “calculate the number of the beast, for it is man’s number. His number is 666.” So, why would God say “calculate” and then give the number directly as 666? I think it’s because ‘37’ is actually “man’s number” (related to the Muslims and Daniel 11), which is calculated from 666 by dividing 666 by the sum of its digits (666/18=37). That’s just a theory of mine, but it makes better sense than assigning numbers to letters in names. 9. God’s Timeline of 19’s Just last year, in 2024, I discovered another amazing coincidence with Jewish events occurring in multiples of 19-years. Most of the events concern Israel’s land and are fairly recent because Israel hasn’t been a nation that long. The most obvious connection is that 1948 (independence) and 1967 (unification of Jerusalem) are 19 years apart. Then, 2-units of 19-years (38-years) later, in 2005, Israel unilaterally withdrew from Gaza, which still concerns ‘land’. Then, 19-years after that, in 2024, Israel completed the retaking of Gaza. Granted, the Gaza war started in 2023 (following the Oct 7^th attack by Hamas) and continues in 2025, but I recall that Israel took firm control in 2024, exactly 19-years after they left. Anyway, that’s just part of it. That may not sound like a big deal, but it is when you consider that 19-years has a physical connection with the universe called the Metonic cycle, which is when the earth, moon, and stars (Sun) come back into their original alignment and start over. It was discovered by the Greek astronomer, Meton, in the 5th century BC, and is the basis of the lunisolar calendar, which Israel has always used. Basically, the solar year (365.24 days) is about 11-days longer than 12 lunar months (354.36 days), so a 13^th month is added periodically, mainly because the Biblical Passover is supposed to coincide with the Spring harvest. (Lev 23:9-14) Well, adding a month doesn’t make the number of days align until you advance 19-years, when 7-months have been added. In other words, 19 solar years = 235 lunar months, with a discrepancy of only 2-hours and 5-minutes every 19-years. That’s less than a month in 6000-years! So, every 19 years, the earth’s rotation and moon’s rotation align with the Sun and stars in their original positions and start over. What makes this even more amazing is that the creation of the universe was on the same 19-year Metonic cycle as 1948 and 1967, etc. Yes, I discovered that the year of Creation can be found directly from the Bible by tracing the genealogy from Adam to Noah, through the flood, all the way to Jacob. The Bible says that Jacob was 130-years old when he arrived in Egypt (Gen 47:9), and the Israelites were in Egypt for 430-years to the day (Exodus 12:40-41). The Bible connects the 4^th year of Solomon’s reign to the 480^th year after the Exodus. (1 Kings 6:1) The 4^th year of Solomon’s reign is found through Assyrian king’s records to be 966 BC because he reigned from 970-930 BC. If you start at 4114 BC and go forward as I said, you will arrive at 966 BC. (see more verses) Some may disagree with me, but the Assyrians defeated the northern kingdom of Israel, in 722 BC, which gives a firm connection between the Bible and their records. That in turn can be linked to Solomon’s reign through the Book of Kings. Anyway, the interesting part is that 4114 BC and 1948 happen to be on the same 19-year cycle! [Note: ‘1’ is subtracted due to having ‘no year zero’.] [4114 BC + 1948 AD –1 = 6061 years and 6061/19 = 319 cycles even.] I found one more year of interest: the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus, in 29 AD, also happens to be on the same 19-year cycle as Creation and 1948. That year comes from the death of Herod being in 4 BC and estimating the birth of Jesus being one year before, in 5 BC. Then, Jesus was 33-years old when He was crucified. [5 BC + 29 AD -1 = 33 years. Once again, no year zero] [29 AD - 1948 AD = 1919 years (doesn’t pass zero) and 1919/19 = 101 cycles even] One more thing: 2300-days is just 13-days short of being exactly one-third of 19-years (6939 days). Sure, it’s off a little, but that’s as close as you can get and still be on an even lunar month. I don’t think that happened by accident because God essentially created the 19-year Metonic cycle and has used it like a clock. Granted, 2024 has passed, but that gives me renewed hope for 2025 because a couple of key events crossed over into the following year. For one, Israel’s War of Independence lasted from May-1948 to March-1949 (last armistice in July-1949). Also, in 1986, which was on the same cycle, Israel was taking more land for West Bank settlements, which resulted in the start of the 1^st Intifada in Dec-1987. Like I said, 2024 was on the same cycle, but the Gaza War continues, as well as West Bank violence, so the end conclusion such as a possible 3^rd Intifada may still come in 2025. I’m just illustrating that God doesn’t seem to always use the exact stroke of midnight on His clock, so the start of the 2300-days could still be on its way in 2025. Just hoping. 10. Full moons Last but not least, I think the abomination and rapture will happen near a full moon (within a couple of days). That’s simply because so many important Biblical events have happened near full moons and the 2300-days is an even 78-lunar months. (Note: A lunar month averages 29.5 days and the full moon is usually the 15^th of the lunar month.) For example, the Flood both started and stopped on the 17^th of the lunar month, near full moons. The Exodus started on a full moon, they arrived at Mt. Sinai on a full moon, and they entered the Promised Land on a full moon, so the Exodus definitely started and stopped on full moons. Of course, Jesus was crucified and resurrected on the 15^th and 17^th respectively, so that was also a full moon. Since Seal 1 was the resurrection, the Seals started near a full moon. If the 6^th Seal rapture happens near a full moon, then the Seals will also start and stop on full moons. Then, the rapture will start the 2300-days, which is an even 78-lunar months, which means the post- rapture tribulation (Trumpets and Bowls) will also start and stop near full moons. It just makes sense to me that the Seals and 2300-days will start and stop near full moons like the Flood and Exodus did, but that’s my opinion. It’s good to be prepared every day, but I’m especially watchful around full moons. (see more verses) Back to Top
