The Truth About End of Times Part 2

This article supports the video: What is the Truth About The End of Times - Part 2.

If you have watched the video, here is a copy of the slide deck used.

This is part 2 of a three-part series that examines what God says will happen at the end of times. In this series, we examine the Book of Truth to see what God says will happen so that we do not have to listen to all the guesses and musings of internet darlings.

In part one, we looked at Matthew 24 where Jesus gave signs to look for and warnings about not believing false profits who claim to be him. In this part, we review the Book of the Revelations of Jesus Christ where we find a description of what will happen, when and in what order. This is a more detailed explanation of the general summary Jesus gave in Matthew.

By reviewing this, you will know definitively where we are in God’s timeline and what to expect and look out for. Subsequently, you will be able to tune out all these guys who keep claiming they are getting “prophesies” about the end of times, and you will be able to find some peace.

Let us begin.

Understand that God has broken up the end of times with 7 seals, and yes, we are in the end of times already. It began with Jesus’ crucifixion. Each seal represents a period with defining characteristics and events. Each seal, once opened by the lamb, remains open, meaning that what is unleashed on Earth continues into the next seal. These are released in order and are binding.

I have put the seals in a table format to help us rationalize them. Reviewing the seals will give us the information we are looking for.

The following are observations that can be drawn from the table:

• The first four seals:

  • Broken with actions by heavenly beings on horses

  • Take place in the distant past (beginning of Genesis)

  • Consequences are evil on Earth

• Seal five:

  • Broken with crucifixion and resurrection

  • No corresponding action on earth

  • Saints in Heaven told to wait

• Seal six:

  • Will be broken in the future (judging by signs)

  • Signs are specific natural disasters

• Seal seven:

  • Covered in next article in detail

  • Will be broken in the future

  • Natural disasters

  • Satanic war against the believers and God

  • God’s wrath exorcised and victory achieved

  • World made new again

The first 6 seals in Revelations compared and contrasted

It is a lot of material, I know. But it is important. As you can see, we are firmly in the 5th seal, and maybe entering the sixth, though I don’t believe we have started the sixth yet. I just don’t see those events happening yet. I think they are firmly yet to come.

Interpreting the fifth seal, I see it as equivalent to Jesus telling the apostles that the harvest is ready, but the laborers are few and sending them out to spread the gospel to the whole earth. I think we are still in that phase. On a side note, I don’t think this phase has much longer to go, given the mass communications that we can now deploy to spread the word. I suspect Seal 6 is coming sooner than later. Keep in mind that we are only a few years away from the 2,000th anniversary of his resurrection. I know some people like milestone numbers like that … just saying!

Now, go on to Part 3 and read about the really bad stuff that will occur!
