So, whenever I do a video on the placement of seals, trumpets, bowls, raptures, whatever, there are always a lot of questions that I get from people. And I recently got a question from actually a couple of people. Then I think, well, I probably should make a video on this again. So I have done a video on the seven trumpets because the question that was given to me was how can we have the seventh sixth and seventh seal be after the abomination of desolation and you know way down here by the second coming of Christ. Where do we put the trumpets? Aren't they supposed to go after the seventh seal? And the answer to that is no. And I'm going to show you why. Give you some good evidence for that in this video. So stay tuned.

So Revelation is a difficult book to understand. It really is. And for someone who's even been studying the whole Bible for as long as I have, like over 50 years now, this is it's not easy. Okay. And Revelation actually is the sort of the embodiment or a compilation of multiple passages and themes and stories from the whole of scripture. And a lot of teaching that's out there on the book of revelation is is incorrect mostly because most people who teach revelation by and large teach revelation the way um us westerners think and it's it's a it's a huge problem. Okay, this is probably the biggest reason why people don't understand Revelation is because we try to force it through a grid of chronology. That the story, the basic story of Revelation is going to start in Revelation 1 and go through 22 and it's going to be pretty much strictly chronological. Well, that's the way Greek thinkers, Gentiles, Westerners, that's the way we think. We think in terms of logic and and uh orderly and things that are linear, but that is not the Hebraic way of understanding scripture. And in fact, Old Testament prophets like Isaiah and Ezekiel, we would never read their prophecies and assume that Isaiah is telling a story in chapter 1 and he is going to continue this story all the way through chapter 66. That is not how it works. And in fact, in prophetic scriptures, the Old Testament especially, the prophet is going to jump around and in one part of a verse, he may be talking about Christ's first coming and then he'll talk about the second coming of Christ in the rest of the verse. And and there's 2,000 years at least between the first part of the verse and the second part of the verse. Read Isaiah. You would never ever ever think of interpreting them chronologically. And you just have to think about Revelation as being the same kind of story. It is apocalyptic. It is very Old Testament in its use of imagery and symbolism. And in fact, there are hundreds of indirect references called illusions back to other passages of scripture, mostly in the Old Testament, but not entirely. There's other references from Revelation that go back into New Testament passages and in particular the Gospel of John. I I would love to do a video on that for you if I have time.
What we need to understand is that the book of Revelation is not necessarily chronological. What's happening is we like John are being dropped into a situation. It's like watching a movie. You're sort of dropped into the movie. You don't know who's the good guy, the bad guy. You don't know what the story is and you just have to engage yourself and start to notice things and especially like in mysteries and who done it and uh notice the clues, pick up the clues. Okay, that's that's sort of what I do in in the book of Revelation. So, a lot of people when they uh talk about Revelation as being chronological, they say, "Oh, well, John was given an outline." We're given an outline. Chapters 1 through three are things that are in the past and John is going to be writing about things that are to come. And so chronologically speaking, chapters 1 through three have already happened and we're on to chapter 4. Actually, that is not correct. And that is not you will never understand the story this amazing wonderful story of Revelation if you read the book that way. You will you will know what's in the chapters, but you won't know the story. And there are so many wonderful characters in the story. 24 elders, 144,000, um this group of god-fearers. We we also follow fallen angels. We follow uh the beast and the beast kingdom and this mysterious entity called the harlot or mystery Babylon. And mystery Babylon is so big in the book of Revelation. More verses are devoted to her than are devoted to the beast. And you have to ask yourself why. What is that all about? She has a whole chapter, actually kind of a couple of chapters that are talking about her, this entity, Revelation 17 and 18. So she is a um a person a person who has a story in revelation. All right.
So we are told how to interpret revelation right away in chapter 1 when we read that John was in the spirit on the Lord's day. He was in the spirit. And that is an indirect reference back to Ezekiel who was in the spirit. And then we have to ask oursel the question what was happening to Ezekiel when he was in the spirit. Okay. Well, he became a time traveler and the spirit took him to Jerusalem, took him to the temple, took him through time and space. And that is exactly what we see happening to John. He goes into heaven. He never goes to the underworld. He's on the earth. He's projected all the way into a great high mountain to see the new Jerusalem coming down. He's taken into a wilderness where he sees a woman riding a scarlet beast. He's brought all the way into the the new heavens and the new earth. This guy is a time traveler and he's transdimensional. He can go from earth to heaven. So, because John is a time traveler, this story should not be assumed to be chronological because he's going from here to there to here to there. And it's up to us to find the clues, to find the connections. So this is what makes the book so fascinating once you actually start digging into it with an open mind that isn't isn't so locked into this things that were things that are and things that are to come. Okay? And that just reminds me of the Christmas carol, the ghost of Christmas past and Christmas present, Christmas future. That's not the story. That's not how the story is told. Okay.
The second thing is Revelation actually has um a kayastic structure. I'm not going to go into that in this video, but what that does is it puts Revelation 12, and I believe it's the cleansing of heaven when Satan is kicked out. Revelation 12 is the pinnacle of the book. And from chapter 12, then you go to chapters 11 and 13, and they have things that are similar. Okay? So in chapter 11, we read about a beast who ascends from the bottomless pit who kills the two witnesses. Chapter 13, we read about a beast who rises from the sea and is given Satan's authority. Okay, those are the same entity, the same person. So chapter 11 and chapter 13 are on opposite sides of chapter 12. It's a what you end up with is this what's called a kayastic structure. And you see it really well in Revelation 12 and then 11 and 13. And you see it really uh it's very clear also in Revelation 1 and Revelation 22. You're going to find mirror images, passages that say kind of similar things. So in Revelation 1, um God is the alpha and the omega, the beginning and the end. You get to Revelation 22, Jesus says he's the alpha and omega, the beginning and the end. uh chapter 1 uh talks about John giving the book to the seven churches and that they're to guard it or keep it and revelation chapter 22 tells again don't change anything about the book. So you can find this is this is called a kayazm where you take the structure of the book. It starts in the middle and you can find these passages on either side that correlate with one another.

What that tells us again is that we're not looking at something that's necessarily chronological. You just have to understand that there are hundreds hundreds of references and illusions to other scriptures. And when you find an illusion, that's how you know when you're to go back to where that reference is. So in uh Revelation 12, we read about a woman who has the the great wings of an eagle so she can fly into the wilderness. Well, the the uh remnant fleeing into the wilderness, the remnant of Israel fleeing into the wilderness is like the Exodus of the children of Israel from Egypt where in Exodus 19, God says, "I bore you on eagle's wings." So it's an illusion. And we need to be able to take what that reference is and place it as part of the interpretation for what we see when the woman had is given the wing two wings like a great eagle so that she can fly to this place where she's kept safe. You have to use the illusions in order to understand. They help you to interpret what is going on in revelation. Uh the next kind of rule that we have is that if you see something in a list like the seals are listed first seal, second seal, third seal, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh trumpets the same way. There's a first trumpet, second trumpet, third trumpet. They're in a sequential order. Okay? But sequence, how how they're laid out, what comes first, second, third, and fourth, and so on does not mean chronology. Just because we're given the sequence doesn't mean we know where in a timeline they're going to fall. And that's an assumption that people have made. If we know the sequence, then we must know the chronology. And I've showed you from this timeline of the placement of the seals on a timeline that that that can't be so that cannot be true. Seals 1 through four are the day we're raptured. Fifth seal has to do with 10 days of tribulation. The sixth seal is the most. This is the seal. We know where it goes. We know where it goes on a timeline. And if there's any question about that, watch my previous video on are the seals the wrath of God. We know exactly where that one goes. But the funny thing is it's the only one. We don't actually have a date to go with it. We just know about when it is. It's sometime after the abomination, but before the second coming of Christ. And then because we got a sequence going here, the seventh seal will immediately follow after the sixth seal. And once the seal is broken, that seventh seal is broken, then we know we have the an open scroll. And now we can read what's in the scroll. Now we know what the scroll is all about. And it's all about the judgment of the fallen ones. It's all about the judgment of the beast and the 10 kings and all those who side with the beast. Okay? it. It's the scroll of judgment. Now, we know what's in that scroll. What I basically showed you from the last video was that when you got a list of things, you are going to follow the numbers all the, you know, 1 2 3 4 5 6 7. But you're going to have to use other clues that will tell you where to place it on the timeline. So, this one here, the sixth seal, is obvious. It's obvious. we know exactly where it goes and then we can place all the other seals on a timeline. Okay? And Matthew 24 actually has every seal sort of tucked away inside of it with the exception of the seventh seal. So, Revelation chapter 6 is a is a list chapter. It has the list of the seals. Actually, only six of them. And we're going to talk about that seventh seal and the problem with that one. There's a list. Okay? It's a list. the seal is opened and here's the event that goes with it. It's just a list and it's up to us to figure out where it goes on a timeline. Some chapters or passages are going to tell a story or be part of a story line. And that is what we're going to talk about today. We're going to talk about the story line of the trumpets. Because I've said in the past in other videos, and people go, "Well, how can this happen?" Ah, the first five trumpets happen on the same day that we're raptured. So, we already know that seals 1 through 4 will take place on the day that we're raptured. But trumpets 1 through five take place this day, too. And you go, how on earth do you get that when the the trumpets don't show up till Revelation 8 and the seventh seal is Revelation 81, there's silence in heaven. Shouldn't you have all the seals? Seals 1 through seven. And then out of that seventh seal come trumpets. And one through seven. And then out of those come those seven bowls. Well, that's how a lot of people teach it because because again they're using uh interpreting Revelation chronologically. Okay. And they think everything has to unfold just the way it's written with just a few exceptions. Okay? This is incorrect. The first trumpet does not come out of the seventh seal. I'm going to show you why. I'm going to I'm going to prove this to you as much as I can. It'll be up to you to decide whether you agree with this or not. Sometimes uh what we'll have are what I call out of place events that need to find a place on the timeline. Like for example, Revelation 18. This is a story of the destruction of the harlot in a single hour on a single day. It's way toward the end of the book. Does that mean that the destruction of the harlot takes place at the end of the story? No, that is it doesn't mean that at all. There are other clues like the one hour the single day that tell us when at least the first destruction of the harlot mystery Babylon will take place. Okay, so this is like what I call an out ofplace chapter. It's it is so far out of the um what we would consider the chronology people don't know what to do with it. Revelation 17, same thing, too. So, I I know a lot of you don't know exactly what's in all of those those chapters, but if go and look and you'll go, "Yeah, I don't I don't know where that goes." Well, if you're not thinking chronologically, if you're thinking like we're being a time traveler where certain things are happening, John is seeing them out of order, but they're being told in a very specific way. God has so ordained this book to be um so compact, so full of information because it also includes all those hundreds of illusions. And within the this these 22 chapters, there is so much information about his plan that the the more I dig into it, the more amazed I am. So, I hope you'll stick with me because we're going to I'm going to show you the storyline now for the trumpets.
So, I'm going to do a little overview here starting with chapter 4. Okay, Revelation chapter 4. John's in the spirit and he's caught up into heaven. Now, a lot of people say that's the rapture. It's not the rapture. He's just being a time traveler and a transdimensional traveler and now he is up. He is in the heavenly places and he sees 24 elders there. They have crowns. They are wearing white priestly robes. They hold golden bowls of incense. They have harps. And these are the kings and priests that are mentioned in Revelation 1 verse 6, I think, where Jesus has made us a kingdom of priests through his blood. Just because the 24 elders, just because it doesn't say kings and priests, we're meant to make the connection that we're, you know, kings sit on thrones, they wear golden crowns, and priests wear white robes and they have bowls of incense. Okay, kings and priests after the order of MelkiseDC. Okay, this this shouldn't this is not rocket science here. It's just making a connection and being able to be flexible about how you call these people. So, the 24 elders are in heaven. They're worshiping God. This is when they're being presented to God in chapter 4. Chapter 5, things are getting started right away. This and and this is all on the day that we are raptured. This is when the male child who's going to rule with Christ, who's going to rule with a rod of iron is caught up to um heaven. They're raptured. This group is caught up there. And on the same day, Christ takes the scroll. And on the same day, we read about the elders offering bowls of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. Make a note of that. This is going to be a connection between this chapter and the trumpet chapter. Okay? We got a connection here. All right. Chapter 6 is a list. Christ has just taken the scroll. And so it makes sense that now we would talk about the scroll and it's seven seals and um we get seals 1-6. The seventh seal goes somewhere else. And the reason why I think the seventh seal is going to go somewhere else is because the setting now is not on earth. The setting is in heaven. The first six seals have to do with the earth and people on the earth and things that are happening on the earth. The seventh seal has takes place in heaven. It's a it's a heavenly thing and that's why it's tied as we'll see to a heavenly scene in Revelation 8:2. So Revelation 6 is a list. It's just a list and you have to figure out where these go. Okay, for me the seals are are super easy. They're not hard to uh understand once we know that we're talking about a list of events and it's not chronological. Fairly easy to place using the clues that were given. Chapter 7 talks about two groups of believers. You get the 144,000 of Israel and you also have these people who are martyed and who are standing in heaven. uh waving palm branches and so on. Two groups of people. One is a group that's going to be raptured and another is a group of people who are going to be martyed. And this is a kind of what I call a bit of an out ofplace chapter. It's it it's in the part of the story that happens before the abomination of desolation because uh once this event takes place, there's a big difference between what's happening on this side prior to the abomination and what's happening on the other side after the abomination. We know that on this side, the harlot, mystery Babylon, is is the one who's in control. She's put out of her misery, at least partially, right here at the abomination. And over here, it's the beast. Okay, it's 42 months. Now, how long has the harlot been ruling? Oh, since Babel. That's why she has a name of mystery. See if I can get that right there. Babel. Since Babel. She's not a literal city. She's a a mystical city. a city that has spread out from one location and brought all the values and um ideals and characteristics of Babel into basically the whole world. So chapter 8 is the seventh seal and trumpets 1- 4. Chapter nine is the fifth and sixth trumpet. Chapter 10 is the me u mention of the seventh trumpet. It's the first mention of the seventh trumpet. Chapter 11, you get the end of the second woe and the seventh trumpet when something is all broken up like this. So in chapter four, we have the elders. It's the story of the elders and they're offering incense on the altar. Okay? So the elders are in four and five. And then in six, you get the seals. This is just a list, okay? It's not telling a story really. It's giving an event events. What you get in chapter 7 are two groups of people. Okay. The 144,000 and what we'll find are the fifth seal martyrs. Okay, that's in seven. But what we find in chapter 8 is actually going to be a continuation of what's going on in five. Okay, we're back at the altar. We're at the altar of incense. Okay, the elders are at the altar. At the altar of incense and we're going to be back at the altar of incense in chapter 8. This is actually the story that starts here in four and five picks up right here in 8. So, let's just read this and let's just read it like a story, okay? Chapter 5, I'll start with verse eight. And when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the 24 elders fell down before the lamb, each holding a harp and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. And they sang a new song, saying, "Worthy are you to take the scroll." And so on. Let's go down to chapter 8. We'll start at verse two. And then I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them. And another angel came and stood at the altar with a golden sensor. And he was given much incense to offer with the prayers of the saints. Where did he get the prayers of the saints? Well, he got them from the 24 elders who were holding the golden bowls of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. And now they give it to this angel standing at the altar. and he mingles it with more incense. And then the smoke of the incense with the prayers of the saints rose before God from the hand of the angel. And then the angel took the sensor, filled it with fire from the altar and threw it on the earth. And there were peels of thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning, and an earthquake. And now the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared to blow them. The first angel blew his trumpet and there followed hail with fire, mingled with blood and so on and so forth. So the events that we read about in Revelation chapter 5, the it's a story and the rest of the story is in Revelation 8 starting with verse two. And what that tells us is that the trumpets are going to start on the same day as our rapture, the same day as what we've discovered are seals 1-4. Now, here's the problem. What about Revelation 8:1? When the lamb opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about a half an hour. And then 82 talks about the angels with the were given the trumpets. Okay? So, and this is what I said earlier that people teach that the seven trumpets come out of the seventh seal, but I've already showed you how that can't be that can't be the case. So, what's going on here? Well, what's going on here? There's a couple of things. The original book of Revelation did not have chapters and verses. The chapters and verse numbers were all put in later by somebody else. And somebody thought that this would be a good place to include the seventh seal as part of chapter 8. Actually, the seventh seal should come at the end of Revelation chapter 7 because it's a part of the seal group. It's part of the seal list. And then Revelation 8 would start off with the the trumpet angels being given their trumpets and the angel taking the incense. And then we go, "Oh, I know where we're at. I know where we're at. We're back at the altar." in and from Revelation 5 with the incense being mingled, okay, with the prayers of the saints and the four living creatures are the ones who call for the the horse the horsemen to ride. Jesus breaks the seal. The four living creatures call for them to come out. And the trumpet angels, they're they're different. It's not like we have the same, you know, living creature having to do all of these things. They're different groups of angelic beings who are assigned different things. So while Jesus is opening the seals, the living creatures are calling for these horsemen to come out, the the trumpet uh angels are given their trumpets. And now and as soon as that sensor is thrown on the earth, there's an earthquake. And then immediately trumpets 1 2 3 4 which have to do with a destruction of a third of the earth and the earth's water. Immediately after that uh we have the fifth trumpet and uh where the first four trumpets could harm the earth and the water and so on. The fifth trumpet they're told don't harm that. Verse one, the fifth angel blew his trumpet and I saw a star fall from heaven to earth. He was given the key of the shaft of the bottomless pit. And he opened the shaft, and smoke rose like the smoke of a great furnace, and the sun and the air were darkened with the smoke from the shaft. And from the smoke came locusts from the earth. They had the power like scorpions, and they were told not to harm the grass of the earth or green growth, but only those of mankind who have not the seal of God on their foreheads. and they were allowed to torture them for five months but not to kill them. So from this passage we can see that the fifth trumpet is actually connected to trumpets 1- 4. They're connected by what we see happening about harming the earth and the sea and the tree and trees and so on. and the fifth trumpet blows and these entities that come out of the pit and by the way the sky is made dark like you've got a volcano going off or something and there's ash in the sky and they're told not to harm the earth or the trees or um green grass or anything like that. So that's what connects the fifth trumpet to trumpets 1-4. What Jesus said was that once these things start to take place, they're going to take place quickly. And most people just read Revelation just like as a book and it's just this one layer of events and this happens and this and this and this over a long period of time and they don't realize that these uh events stack up on one another and that there are certain days that so much happens. But all these days we know that they're connected. We know that this is a certain point in time because because there's certain language that's used like for for the trumpets 1-5. It's about not harming or harming the earth and the sea and the trees and so on. The first four seals are they're the horsemen. Okay? They're the horsemen. The fifth seal is something different. It's about, you know, the martyrs under the altar. And the sixth seal, we know exactly where that's placed. And the seventh seal goes after that. It was a most unfortunate chapter placement that put the seventh seal as the beginning of chapter 8. And I said there's a couple problems we have. One is the poor chapter placement. And the second problem we have is that we tend to think of of scripture and understand uh scripture in chapters. Okay. So, it's like every chapter is its own little thing and we don't we don't think of it as as a whole, you know, like like this the information in this chapter actually spreads out into other places. And so, we're just very locked in, you know, this chapter, that chapter, that chapter, and when really this is much more fluid. It's much more open. Things are flowing from one chapter to another. And it's not this, you know, chapter 8, chapter 9, chapter 12 like that. Okay. All right. So, the seventh seal, what is it? It is a silence in heaven. And that should have been connected with the seals. And we talked about silence in heaven in my last video. Uh, are the seals the wrath of God? And I I I said that silence precedes judgment. I want to give you the verses for that. There's a couple of them. I'm sure there's more, but these are the two that I have. Zephaniah 1:7, "Be silent before the Lord God, for the day of the Lord is near." And remember, the day of the Lord actually starts right here with that with the wrath of God. That's where it starts because the sign of the son of man coming in heaven is right here. Sixth seal, the day of the Lord is near. The Lord has prepared a sacrifice and consecrated his guests. and Zechariah 2:13, "Be silent before the Lord, all people, for he's roused himself from his holy dwelling." All right. So, the the fifth trumpet will start on the day that we're raptured and it will end five months later. And if our rapture this year is uh November uh 9th or thereabouts, plus or minus 24 hours, five months later will take you right here to the day of the abomination of desolation. And this uh uh fifth trumpet is called the the first woe. It will end there. And then when you get to Revelation 11, it also says that the second woe has passed. Okay, the second woe is the sixth trumpet. It's passed. Well, how can that happen? Well, it can only happen because that second woe only lasts one hour on a single day. And that should remind us of something about the harlot who is killed in one hour on a single day. And about the 10 kings who are given authority along with the beast to uh destroy the harlot with fire, smoke and sulfur along with what we read about in Revelation chapter 9 about God um having this hour, day, month and year when this event is going to happen that a third of mankind is going to be killed. Okay, the people who are kept from the hour of trial. And what this tells us is time is literal. And this word hour hour means means 60 minutesish. Okay? It's not a metaphorical hour. But no, this is a literal hour. Literal hour, literal half hour, literal 42 months. Okay? Literal 10 days. It's all literal. Time is literal. There are other numbers that are used that are symbolic. Seven horns and seven eyes on the lamb, 24 elders. Those numbers are symbolic, but time is literal. And you can follow that hour through scripture. And what we know then is that the sixth trumpet is going to take place on the same day as the abomination of desolation. Revelation 14:7 tells us that the hour of the judgment has come. That's the hour of judgment of mystery Babylon. The beast and the 10 kings have authority for one hour to to kill the harlot. Revelation 17:12. Revelation 18. In one hour your judgment has come. Revelation 18:17. In a single hour all this wealth has been laid waste. Revelation 18:19. In one hour she's been brought to desolation. Revelation 11:13-14. In the same hour there was a great earthquake. A tenth of the city fell. In the earthquake, 7,000 people were killed. The second woe is passed. Behold, the third woe is coming. And the third woe is the seventh trumpet. And we know the timing of the seventh trumpet as well. Okay. So, we're going to take a look at the seventh trumpet, but I want to give you a date here first for uh when the fifth trumpet ends and the sixth trumpet begins. If our rapture is in 2025, that would put our uh rapture on uh the 9th day of the 11th month. It is a an inverse 911. This would be on April on April 9th of 2026 and actually may may go over over into April 10th. We can know these dates. They they're associated with feast days and day counts and we can use the day counts in Revelation to come up with a timeline. That's the amazing thing here. That's the incredible thing is that God has provide us provided us with all the information that we need to create a timeline that shows the the order of events, how much time is between them, what's going on, who it's involving. and we just have to sort of get our heads out of the sand when it comes to understanding uh the way that we're to view this book. The first time that we hear about a seventh trumpet is actually in Revelation 10. And this is when this angel who's wrapped in a cloud, this is actually Jesus when he comes down. And this is actually when he's going to change the the living and resurrect the dead. This is when he takes one foot, puts one foot on the sea, one foot foot on the land. And what you have is the resurrection. That's what the sea is. Sea of death, land of the living. And people are changed. And the dead are resurrected. Now, the dead are being resurrected in heaven, remember? Okay? Because our our bodies uh especially if you're dead, your body is being kept in heaven for you, according to Paul. But if you're on earth, uh this body will be swallowed up with a new celestial body that will be given according to uh 1 Corinthians 15. But what's happening now is in Revelation 10:5-7, the angel I saw standing on the sea and on the land raised his right hand to heaven and swore by him who lives forever and ever, who created the heaven and what's in it, and the earth and what's in it, and the sea and what's in it, that there would be no more delay, 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. So the mystery of God here that's been announced to his servants, the prophets, is the book of Revelation, which God gave so that his servants would know what's going on. So the events of Revelation, which is the mystery here that's now been revealed, will be over with the seventh trumpet. My understanding is that Jesus' second coming, his visible return will be on the day of atonement. Day of atonement. And if we're raptured this year, then he will be coming back on September 20th of 2029. Okay? That's when he would be coming back. And on the day of atonement, okay, there's exactly 1,260 days from there to there. Okay, it's exactly 1,260 days. But where do we put the seventh trumpet? It's not here. It's not at Jesus' return. The seventh trumpet is actually over here. And the reason we can know about that is because when we read about the seventh trumpet, what is happening in that at that seventh trumpet? And this is actually going to be over the feast, the feast of tabernacles, okay? Which is a 7-day feast with an eighth day. And that would start on September 25th of 2029. Okay. And you know that lasts for seven days. And there's going to be a group of uh believers who are going to be resurrected, those who are beheaded by the beast. And there are actually going to be living believers who still trust in Jesus who will be changed and they will have their eight days as well. And that's over this 8 day period of time. So the feast days are prophetic. We use them for calculating dates as well. So the seventh trumpet indicates that this mystery is going to be fulfilled by the time we get to the feast of tabernacles in 2029. So, I have a little chart here that I used in another video, and I'll leave a link to this other video, um, the placement of the seven trumpets of Revelation, and you can see where all those go. And then there is a video on seven trumpets and the triumphal pro procession which I think is a it's a really great video and uh yeah you should watch that one too. It's amazing. I'm not a huge movie watcher, but I did, you know, have watched this movie, The Matrix. And there's this line where Neo, the hero of the story, is told to free his mind. Free your mind. And there is a part of me that goes, "Come on, people. Let's get out of the box. Free your mind. Start making connections. Find the story. Find the story of all these different people. combine the feasts of the Lord which are cyclical by the way. They go around and different aspects of the feasts are fulfilled at different times. Uh it's not one and done unless every aspect of that feast was fulfilled at one time, but for most of these they're not. So anyway, um yeah, you got to free your mind. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you just get out of that that box. And there's just been so much just what I call kind of Greek western thinking that's just really locked revelation down into this this highly um controlled um story that isn't really telling you anything. Okay. From what I can see, people do not don't even try to figure out where do the five months go, where do the where where does all this land so that it makes sense and that we can incorporate uh all of Paul's es esquetology all can fit in here. anything that we read about in any other passage in scripture, whether it's Matthew 24 or Luke 21 or I don't I don't care which passage you're talking about. I have yet to see a passage that doesn't fit into this timeline. And uh I have a a new little handout for you. I'm always trying to like, you know, come come in through the the door or the window or however I can come to help people to understand. And so basically what I've done is this is a you know it's very brief um it's for 2025 to 2029 it's the significant dates and associated events. So um the first date here is the the Hebrew date and I'm giving you an example here and the Gregorian calendar which doesn't always follow on the Hebrew date but the Hebrew dates are for the feasts and the feasts are prophetic. Prophetic feasts are going to work with the second coming of Christ just like they did with the first coming. It's all about God's plan of salvation and redemption through Christ. And the feasts are prophecy. They're scripture and prophecy. Even though we don't observe the feasts, we use them as as being prophecy. They're telling us something about God's plan. And the dates are recorded in Leviticus 23. And then we also have a very interesting date for the days of Noah which also play into this uh timeline of of events. And so if we think about Nissan 14 that is uh happened um happened on a Gregorian day actually it's Julian calendar um of uh Wednesday in 31 AD and the encoded event the the code or the symbol is the Passover. It's prophetic in the New Testament. the code was cracked for about what what does that mean? Well, we know that Jesus was the lamb of God slain, you know, for u redemption and all of that. He died on the cross on Passover. So, he's the fulfillment of Passover. So, we we know that the feasts are prophetic. They are. They're totally prophetic. So, the end time dates can be used as well. And we're going to go with the hell dates. You know how they decided that they were going to celebrate the feast of the Lord because that was their stewardship. There may be other dates that were more accurate like with the Essene calendar or you know Enoch or whatever. But God gave a stewardship to certain people who were alive at the time of the of the temple that was destroyed by the Romans and then afterward and how they decided that they would keep the feast. That was their stewardship. God never took it away from them. So those are the feast days that we use. So, basically, you can see on this little chart here what the code of the feast is and how it may be prophetically decoded. And I've got some question marks for some of this stuff cuz I'm not sure exactly. Um, but here's the thing. I know that if you're watching for the Lord and you're reading what the scriptures say that when something happens that is legit from the Lord, you're going to know it. It's not going to be a secret. You'll go, "That's what that is." Okay? And you're not going to be guessing about it. So, people will sometimes write into me and go, "Well, could this be the sign of the dragon?" And I go, "Well, if you don't know, then it isn't." because when it happens, when these things happen, it's going to be plain especially for God's people who will know the significance of these things. All right? So, that is how we get trumpets 1-5 on the same day as seals 1-4, which is the same day as our rapture. We got a bunch of things layered here. And also, there will be a bunch of things that are layered onto the day of the abomination. things that are associated with that hour, day, month, and year uh that we follow through the book of Revelation. And it's all in my big beautiful timeline which is down below. Or if you want a um more of a um u you know just a basic uh events then you can get a hold of this copy that I will include. Um, I have show notes and I also will include this as as a PDF in the description of this video. So, let me know what you think and we'll see you on another video. Till then, have a blessed day.
