No prob...

If I'm mistaken tell me, but I believe you are speaking of; "And he will send forth his angels with a great trumpet sound, and they will gather his chosen ones together from the four winds, from one extremity of the heavens to their other extremity." (Mt 24:31)

If you notice at Rev 7:1; "After this I saw four angels standing upon the four corners of the earth, holding tight the four winds of the earth, that no wind might blow upon the earth or upon the sea or upon any tree."

So the four winds are basically hovering over the whole earth and are a metaphor for the dangerous balance the world is right now in being on the brink of another world war, and it's comforting to know that the angels will hold back those winds until the very end, instead of the beginning of the end as Robert innocently mistake's. It's not that Jesus is saying his brothers are scattered about because of being displaced, but simply saying that from all the earth they will be gathered.

It's quite clear that these two witnesses will impart truth to the many during their work...

"And as regards those having insight among the people, they will impart understanding to the many." (Dan 11:33)

​BTW, this scripture describes others along side the two witnesses during that time who will as well receive crowns of gold; "And the grand crown itself will come to belong to He′lem and to To‧bi′jah and to Je‧da′iah and to Hen the son of Zeph‧a‧ni′ah as a memorial in the temple of Jehovah. And those who are far away will come and actually build in the temple of Jehovah.â€￾ And ​YOU​ people will have to know that Jehovah of armies himself has sent me to ​YOU. And it must occur—if ​YOU​ will without fail listen to the voice of Jehovah ​YOUR​ God." (Zech 6:14, 15)

It is quite likely that these four plus the two witnesses make up the six of Zechariah ch9. Just think about, there will be a group of us that will be in the work of Jehovah in the time of the end!

"And, look! there were six men coming from the direction of the upper gate that faces to the north, each one with his weapon for smashing in his hand; and there was one man in among them clothed with linen, with a secretary’s inkhorn at his hips, and they proceeded to come in and stand beside the copper altar. And as regards the glory of the God of Israel, it was taken up from over the cherubs over which it happened to be to the threshold of the house, and he began calling out to the man that was clothed with the linen, at whose hips there was the secretary’s inkhorn. And Jehovah went on to say to him: “Pass through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and you must put a mark on the foreheads of the men that are sighing and groaning over all the detestable things that are being done in the midst of it.â€￾" (Eze 9:2-4)

 

So the time of the end looks like this...

The final week of the 70 appears to be a more detailed specific information for those on earth to look for when the disgusting thing stands in a holy place and to flee into the wilderness. It appears that the eighth king will form some kind of covenant with the "many", then at the half of that week he will come against Gods people ceasing their sacrifices and gift offerings as verse 27b brings out, which is obviously different then the ending of the constant feature that happen 1290 days before, (as mentioned in previous post). Then the one lying desolate at this time is obviously the great harlot.

I posted the true chronology of Revelation a while back and I was a bit surprised no one had questions, so I'll post it again for fun...

The trumpets and bowls are both one and the same thing describing each other. When you get to the 7th bowl and trumpet, both of those occur the same day as the first six seals. So the 7th trumpet, 7th bowl and first six seals all occur on one day. These are the seven thunders.

Good question John...

Remember, in the original Hebrew and Greek there were no chapter divisions, nor verse separations. They simply started chapter 8 in the wrong place, it should have started with verse 2 instead of the opening of the 7th seal.

Think about it, what occurs at the opening of the 7th seal? Silence for a half hour, not a trumpet blast. This silence goes on for a half hour! Long time...

The only time praise before Jehovah stops and there is silence is of course during his wrath.

 

It’s important to note that the original Scriptures did not include chapter numbers, or verse spacing. Such as Rev 8:1 should have begun with verse two, hence why everyone has always thought the seals came before the trumpets, however, the opening of the seventh seal brings in silence for a half hour, certainly not a trumpet blast. Here is a poignant scripture discussing this moment at Zep 1:7: “Keep silence before the Sovereign Lord Jehovah; for the day of Jehovah is near, for Jehovah has prepared a sacrifice; he has sanctified his invited ones.â€￾ In fact scripture tells us in what order the seals are placed. Let’s read Rev 11:19: “And the temple sanctuary of God that is in heaven was opened, and the ark of his covenant was seen in his temple sanctuary.â€￾ Now notice that this is immediately after the seventh trumpet blew in verse fifteen. Now let’s direct our attention to chapter four of Revelation, verse one: “After these things I saw, and, look! An opened door in heaven, and the first voice that I heard was as of a trumpet, speaking with me, saying: “Come on up here, and I shall show you the things that must take place.â€￾ So the seals come directly after the trumpet blasts! (1Th 4:16, Rev 19:11)

At this point the seventh trumpet, seventh bowl and as well the first six seals all occur on one single day, that of the day Jesus is enthroned at the end of the one thousand two hundred and sixty day tribulation! These are the Seven Thunders! Let’s take a look at the sixth seal and the description of events following its opening at Rev 6:12: “And I saw when he opened the sixth seal, and a great earthquake occurred.â€￾ Now let’s see the account at the seventh bowl. “And the seventh one poured out his bowl upon the air. At this a loud voice issued out of the sanctuary from the throne, saying: “It has come to pass!â€￾ And lightnings and voices and thunders occurred and a great earthquake occurred such as has not occurred since men came to be on the earth, so extensive an earthquake, so great.â€￾ (Rev 16:17, 18)

Now let’s pay close attention to the next verses in chapter sixteen and how the seventh bowl correlates with the sixth seal in chapter six and the stars falling from heaven. “And a great hail with every stone about the weight of a talent descended out of heaven upon the men.â€￾ (Rev 16:21a) Now let’s compare chapter six: “And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as when a fig tree shaken by a high wind casts its unripe figs.â€￾ (Rev 6:13) And of the mountains; “And the heavens departed as a scroll that is being rolled up, and every mountain and every island were removed from their places.â€￾ (Rev 6:14) “Also, every island fled, and mountains were not found.â€￾ (Rev 16:20) Now what is the response from those in the world who experience this event? Rev 6:15-17 tells us: “And they keep saying to the mountains and to the rock-masses: “fall over us and hide us from the face of the One seated on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb, because the great day of their wrath has come, and who is able to stand?â€￾

There are also five other events within the Seven Thunders to examine and let’s start with the first four seals, and the ride of the four horsemen. The first horsemen and foremost event of this day is the crowning of Jehovah’s representative Christ Jesus as king as we read at Rev 11:15: “And the seventh angel blew his trumpet. And loud voices occurred in heaven, saying: “The kingdom of the world did become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he will rule as king forever and ever.â€￾

Now Rev 6:1-8 describes the triumphant ride of these four horsemen in accomplishing Jehovah’s purposes on earth. The meaning of their rides can be found in three locations in scripture,those being Revelation chapter six, Zechariah chapter six, and Revelation chapter eleven. Let’s read of the seals being opened and of their riding forth at Rev 6:2: “And I saw, and, look! A white horse; and the one seated upon it had a bow; and a crown was given him, and he went forth conquering and to complete his conquest.â€￾ We find the second horse at Rev 6:4: “And another came forth, a fiery-colored horse; and to the one seated upon it there was granted to take peace away from the earth so that they should slaughter one another; and a great sword was given him.â€￾ Next at Rev 6:5: “And when he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say: “Come!â€￾ And I saw, and, look! A black horse; and the one seated upon it had a pair of scales in his hand.â€￾ As well Rev 6:8: “And I saw, and, look! A pale horse; and the one seated upon it had the name Death. And Ha’des was closely following him.â€￾

At Zech 6:6 we read: “As for the one in which the black horses are, they are going forth to the land of the north, and as for the white ones, they must go forth to behind the sea; and for the speckled ones, they must go forth to the land of the south. And as for the parti-colored ones, they must go forth and keep seeking where to go, in order to walk about in the earth.â€￾ Also a description is found at Rev 11:17,18: “We thank you, Jehovah God, the Almighty, the One who is and who was, because you have taken your great power and begun ruling as king, but the nations became wrathful, and your own wrath came, and the appointed time for the dead to be judged, and to give their reward to your slaves the prophets and to the holy ones and to those fearing your name, the small and the great, and to bring to ruin those ruining the earth.â€￾

In the fifth seal we see a wonderful occurrence that has been prophesied and anticipated for millennia,ever since those first followers of Jesus gathered in a room almost two thousand years ago at Pentecost and received the Holy Spirit as it was poured out upon them sealing them and bringing them into a covenant with Jehovah for a heavenly hope. A similar event will occur when Jesus is enthroned, and not only that but those who are sealed in that covenant position who have lived and died in service to Jehovah will be raised to heavenly life. As well those who have the hope of living for ever in the renewed paradise earth will also receive the Holy Spirit in sealing them at that moment! As we read at Joel 2:28 those alive will share a similar experience as those of the first century: “And after that it must occur that I shall pour out my spirit on every sort of flesh, and your sons and your daughters will certainly prophesy.â€￾ Now of those who are raised to heavenly life; “who will eventually total 144,000â€￾ the ninth verse of chapter six in Revelation reads: “And when he opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those slaughtered because of the word of God and because of the witness work that they used to have. And they cried with a loud voice, saying: “Until when, Sovereign Lord holy and true, are you refraining from judging and avenging our blood upon those who dwell on the earth?â€￾

 

We all have our gifts from Jehovah and our own works. Nothing I have is from me however it is Jehovah's and nothing from my own understanding, but I sure do love my work in scripture!

 

Keeps me busy too! lol

Diagonal,

The bible is like cake, cheesecake is my fav being the most dense...lol

 

John, still with me? Did you see the connection between the 7th trumpet, bowl and 6th seal I posted in #208? Getting a feel of the chronology? Keep in mind there can never be a paradox in time, or the entire system collapses...
