Intro:
The interpretation of & beyond relies heavily on your perspective of the book.
As I shared a few weeks ago in lesson 1, I see much of this book from the futurist point of view.
That is, I see these events we are about to discuss as occuring in the future.
Specifically in the 7 year great tribulation and beyond..
John said in
What does add to understanding of the last days and timing of the Tribulation?
Many see v 27 describing the rise of the Antichrist with a peace treaty.
The usage has been weeks of years (7 years being 1 week).
If that is correct, there will be a 7 year period ushered in by a peace covenant which will be broken 1/2 way through and the sacrifices will be stopped.
What else does the antichrist do?
Stand in the holy place
A literal interpretation of these events looks like this:
AC signs peace treaty with Israel
Temple is rebuilt, or worship is resumed
1/2 way through the 7 year period, he enters the temple and declares himself to be god.
The 7 seals:
Christ, the worthy now takes the scroll and begins to open the seals.
As He opens the seals, specific events begin to unfold.
The final 7 years before Christ’s return will be a time of unprecedented chaos and judgment
This time has been called
The Great Tribulation
The TIme of Jacob’s trouble
The Day of the Lord
At the same time, the Restrainer, will no longer restrain and sin and demonic activity will be running rampant.
1st Seal- The Antichrist
Rider on the White Horse
Rider on the White Horse
Rider on the White Horse
The antichrist
He will be a peacemaker and will unite the world through diplomacy and deceit.
He will be charismatic and seemingly offer solutions to the world’s problems
-23
Dan 8:
Dan 11:
2nd Seal
War-
War
We have read of kings of the north and of the south which will try to rise against AC
Wars will be fought to maintain control and punish enemies
3rd Seal
Rev 6:5-
Famine
close on the heals of war comes famine
A day’s pay will by a day’s food
4th Seal
Death
after AC, war, and famine, many will die
1/4 of the earth’s population will die!
7.6 b now so 1.9 billion will die!
5th Seal
Rev 6:
There will be a great harvest of souls during the Tribulation.
As Scriptures unfolds and the world falls apart, “faith will come by hearing the word of God”
Many of them will be killed for their faith in the Tribulation, just as saints have been martyred since Jesus.
In this seal, we see judgement declared for the killers and reward for the saints.
6th Seal
Rev 6:
Cataclysmic earthquake and meteor shower
The surface of the earth will change
Widespread destruction and devastation
What was viewed as solid and lasting (mountains) ill be moved and stars look different.
Even the hardest of rebels against God will acknowledge Him, but sadly, they cry out for the hills to hide them rather than repenting of their sins.
INTERESTING NOTE:
this passage is where some say nuclear war is inevitable.
They see this as describing a world war
The “shaking earth” and falling stars would be man-made
7th seal
Rev
After this, Trumpets begin and another series of judgments unfold.
