"The seven seals are one of a series of end-times judgments from God. The seals are described in Revelation 6:1–17 and 8:1–5. In John’s vision, the seven seals hold closed a scroll in heaven, and, as each seal is broken, a new judgment is unleashed on the earth.

The prelude to the opening of the seven seals in John’s vision is a search for someone worthy to open the heavenly scroll in Revelation 5. John writes,"...

[Rev 5:1-5 HNV] 1 I saw, in the right hand of him who sat on the throne, a book written inside and outside, sealed shut with seven seals. 2 I saw a mighty angel proclaiming with a loud voice, "Who is worthy to open the book, and to break its seals?" 3 No one in heaven above, or on the eretz, or under the eretz, was able to open the book, or to look in it. 4 And I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open the book, or to look in it. 5 One of the Zakenim said to me, "Don't weep. Behold, the Lion who is of the tribe of Yehudah, the Root of David, has overcome; he who opens the book and its seven seals."


As He takes the book to open the seals and pronounce judgment on the unbelieving world, the beings in heaven glorify Him with a new song:

“You are worthy to take the scroll
and to open its seals,
because you were slain,
and with your blood you purchased for God
persons from every tribe and language and people and nation. . . .
Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain,
to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength
and honor and glory and praise!” (verses 9 and 12).


The 1st Seal - (The White Horse) - THE ANTI-CHRIST

[Rev 6:1-2 HNV] 1 I saw that the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying, as with a voice of thunder, "Come and see!"

2 And behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it had a bow. A crown was given to him, and he came forth conquering, and to conquer.

We should not confuse this one in 6:1-2 on the White horse as Yeshua with the One spoken of in Revelation 19:11, for we believe that the counterfeit (which is the Anti-Christ) in 6:2 because he is described as having only a bow (and no arrow) and only 1 crown.  Yet our Messiah is coming full armed with a sword and an army each riding a white horse.  So, the opening of this 1st seal is uncovering, or exposing the Anti-Christ.

[Rev 19:11-16 HNV] 11 I saw the heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it is called Faithful and True. In righteousness he judges and makes war. 12 His eyes are a flame of fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has names written and a name written which no one knows but he himself. 13 He is clothed in a garment sprinkled with blood. His name is called "The Word of God." 14 The armies which are in heaven followed him on white horses, clothed in white, pure, fine linen. 15 Out of his mouth proceeds a sharp, double-edged sword, that with it he should strike the nations. He will rule them with a rod of iron. He treads the winepress of the fierceness of the wrath of God, Shaddai. 16 He has on his garment and on his thigh a name written, "KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS."

Because he fulfills the most criteria which defines the Anti-Christ, the current Catholic Pope is believed by many to fill this description as the Anti-Christ. He sits on a throne and wears a crown of authority.  From (the Vatican) where he resides, to the power he holds over the churches are some points that other suspects do not qualify.  He identifies himself as 'equal' to our Messiah, having the same authorities as He. He is known to have challenged the Ten Commandments.  He has implied that he has the "right" to change the commandments as well as ordinances of YAH; by again, seeking to enforce Sunday Sabbath.   Yet, he has neither the power nor the authority to call himself equal to God.  And though the word tells us that he will perform 'miracles' (trickery) that are capable of fooling even the very elect; he will be exposed at the coming of the Messiah clothed in righteousness, ready to make war with him.

[Mat 24:3-5 HNV] 3 As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the talmidim came to him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will these things be? What is the sign of your coming, and of the end of the age?" 4 Yeshua answered them, "Be careful that no one leads you astray. 5 For many will come in my name, saying, 'I am the Messiah,' and will lead many astray. 

The 2nd Seal - (The Red Horse) - Holy Spirit (Rauch Haqadash)

[Rev 6:3-4 HNV] 3 When he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, "Come!" 4 Another came forth, a red horse. To him who sat on it was given power to take shalom from the eretz, and that they should kill one another. There was given to him a great sword.

This is a time when Yahushua says that Peace will leave the earth.  Where there will be wars & rumors of wars as he continues in Matthew 24:9:

[Mat 24:9-13 HNV] 9 "Then they will deliver you up to oppression, and will kill you. You will be hated by all of the nations for my name's sake. 10 Then many will stumble, and will deliver up one another, and will hate one another. 11 Many false prophets will arise, and will lead many astray. 12 Because iniquity will be multiplied, the love of many will grow cold. 13 But he who endures to the end, the same will be saved.".


The 3rd Seal - (The Black Horse) - FAMINE

[Rev 6:5-6 HNV] 5 When he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, "Come and see!" And behold, a black horse, and he who sat on it had a balance in his hand. 6 I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, "A choenix of wheat for a denarius, and three choenix of barley for a denarius! Don't damage the oil and the wine!"

The scales that balance our earthly economy display that the world is in a destructive weather pattern distracting our ability to grow and produce vegetation to fulfill the nutritional needs of the peoples of this world.

These same unsual and extreme weather patterns are producing unimaginable rains and floods that are also destroying our food supply and causing the beginnings of Famine throughout the world.

We are currently witnessing wars and rumors of wars, massive amounts of deaths due to massive earthquakes, tsunamis, super volcano eruptions, tornadoes and hurricanes; experiencing massive cracks and sink holes in the earth's crusts; rivers of blood; birds falling from the skies to their deaths, alterations of the lakes and oceans with fish dying on all shores, the tilting of the earth off its axis, and so on. 

Our Messiah warned us in Matt 24: through His disciples that when we see the beginnings of  these things coming to pass, we are to know that these are the beginnings of birth pains (signs and indicators of the tribulation on the horizon.

[Mat 24:6-8 HNV] 6 "You will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you aren't troubled, for all this must happen, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be famines, plagues, and earthquakes in various places. 8 But all these things are the beginning of birth pains."


The 4th Seal (The Pale Horse) - Death


[Rev 6:7-8 HNV] 7 When he opened the fourth seal, I heard the fourth living creature saying, "Come and see!" 8 And behold, a pale horse, and he who sat on it, his name was Death. She'ol followed with him. Authority over one fourth of the eretz, to kill with the sword, with famine, with death, and by the wild animals of the eretz was given to him.



This passage of the scriptures warns that this is when 1/4 of the earth will die by:


1) the sword (beheadings as has already happened  through ISIS and will happen again from other sources as well).

2) Hunger (Famine as in the 3rd Seal but with more focus on the entire world and not just our 3rd world countries).

3) Sickness & Disease - Illnesses, Viruses, Plagues, etc. (which are believed also to be released throughout the world through elitist governments whose goal is to downsize the population of the world.)

4) Beasts - as we read this, many fires are scattering the animals who usually habitate in the wildernesses into rural areas near homes, schools and small communities.  However, Science is also experimenting with DNA of animals colluding with those children of Lucifer whose intent it is to find powerful bodies for demon occupation (as "fake" movies display their intent to use bodies as "sleeves" for those who desire to live forever; children being offered as sacrifices in Illuminati rituals, the wealthy and high powered known to eat human flesh and drink blood (cannibalism became the new black in the year 5778).  Giants and demons are a new reality in 2018.  These are the beats that will be released during the 3 days of darkness in the opening of that 6th Seal to come.


And as I repeat the word of our Messiah,


[Mat 24:7-8 HNV] 7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be famines, plagues, and earthquakes in various places. 8 But all these things are the beginning of birth pains.


 

The 5th Seal - Martyrs Slain for the Word of Yahuah

[Rev 6:9-11 HNV] 9 When he opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been killed for the Word of God, and for the testimony of the Lamb which they had. 10 They cried with a loud voice, saying, "How long, Master, the holy and true, until you judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the eretz?" 11 A long white robe was given to each of them. They were told that they should rest yet for a while, until their fellow servants and their brothers, who would also be killed even as they were, should complete their course.


Though the 4 earlier deductions may be made on the birth pains, however, if we are currently in the midst of the true tribulation; then this is where we are right now.  WE ARE HERE!

This is where the saints are crying out.

The murders of our 'unarmed' Hebrew brothers over these past years are just one of our current examples of the saints of YAH seeking justice and vengeance.   This is symbolic of the shortening of days, yet in this scripture (above) YAH's peculiar & chosen peoples who are called by His name are asked to be patient as more will die before His Son, our Messiah comes to avenge the pain of us all and pronounce justice against the evil doers of this land whom He has referred to as the descendants of Esau, aka, the Edomites.  And I repeat the words of our Messiah, as to why,

[Mat 24:9-13 HNV] 9 Then they will deliver you up to oppression, and will kill you. You will be hated by all of the nations for my name's sake. 10 Then many will stumble, and will deliver up one another, and will hate one another. 11 Many false prophets will arise, and will lead many astray. 12 Because iniquity will be multiplied, the love of many will grow cold. 13 But he who endures to the end, the same will be saved.


The 6th Seal - Signs & Wonders in the Heavens


Rev 6:12-17 HNV] 12 I saw when he opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake. The sun became black as sackcloth made of hair, and the whole moon became as blood. 13 The stars of the sky fell to the eretz, like a fig tree dropping its unripe figs when it is shaken by a great wind. 14 The sky was removed like a scroll when it is rolled up. Every mountain and island were moved out of their places. 15  The kings of the eretz, the princes, the commanding officers, the rich, the strong, and every slave and free person, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains. 16 They told the mountains and the rocks, "Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb, 17 for the great day of his wrath has come; and who is able to stand?"




[Eze 30:1-3 HNV] 1 The word of the LORD came again to me, saying, 2 Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus says the Lord GOD: Wail, Alas for the day! 3 For the day is near, even the day of the LORD is near; it shall be a day of clouds, a time of the nations.



And in the universe we are currently witnessing through our own telescopes, G-2 level solar storms, constellations are spinning out of orbit and the debri from Planets are coming our way in the tails winds of speeds undocumented as ELEs assigned to destroy. 

 

And as we were warned, we are preparing for the coming 3 days of darkness with the breaking of this 6th Seal.  (Please read in more detail regarding the 3-Days of Darkness, on our page "3-Days of Darkness:  The 6th Seal").

[Joe 2:30-32 HNV] 30 I will show wonders in the heavens and in the eretz: Blood, fire, and pillars of smoke. 31 The sun will be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the great and terrible day of the LORD comes. 32 It will happen that whoever will call on the name of the LORD shall be saved; For in Mount Tziyon and in Yerushalayim there will be those who escape, As the LORD has said, And among the remnant, those whom the LORD calls.

[Eze 32:7-8 HNV] 7 When I shall extinguish you, I will cover the heavens, and make the stars of it dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give its light. 8 All the bright lights of the sky will I make dark over you, and set darkness on your land, says the Lord GOD.

[Act 2:19-21 HNV] 19 I will show wonders in the sky above, And signs on the eretz beneath; Blood, and fire, and billows of smoke. 20 The sun will be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the great and glorious day of the Lord comes. 21 It will be, that whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.'


And then, the Rapture of the Body.

Our Father has always left a blueprint and pattern for us to following as we investigate prophecy. And knowing that there will be a time of darkness is a clue as to what will follow.

[Mat 27:45-53 HNV] 45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour. 46 About the ninth hour Yeshua cried with a loud voice, saying, "`Eli, `Eli, lima shavakhtani?" That is, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" 47 Some of them who stood there, when they heard it, said, "This man is calling Eliyah." 48 Immediately one of them ran, and took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him a drink. 49  The rest said, "Let him be. Let's see whether Eliyah comes to save him." 50 Yeshua cried again with a loud voice, and yielded up his spirit. 51 Behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom. The eretz quaked and the rocks were split. 52  The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the holy ones who had fallen asleep were raised; 53 and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection, they entered into the holy city and appeared to many.

And from this we see that the pattern for the Rapture comes after the darkness.  For the word of YAH does tell us in 1 Thessalonians 4 that the dead in Yahushua will rise first and those alive (in Him) will meet Him together, in the air.  Our Bridegroom has come for His Bride.

[1Th 4:16-18 HNV] 16 For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the chief angel, and with God's shofar. The dead in Messiah will rise first, 17 then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air. So we will be with the Lord forever. 18 Therefore comfort one another with these words.

So this should settle some things with those who are Pre-triburs.
The 7th Seal - SILENCE IN HEAVEN

[Rev 8:1 KJV] 1 And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.

As the judgments end and all that has taken place from the 1st Seal to this final, causes all to cease to the point of an overwhelming silence on earth and all of heaven as all prepare for the trumpet judgments.

This is also said to be the time when we get to look into the Lambs Book of Life.

Following the seal judgments are the 7 Trumpet judgments and the 7 Bowl or vial judgments.

[Joe 2:32 HNV] 32 It will happen that whoever will call on the name of the LORD shall be saved; For in Mount Tziyon and in Yerushalayim there will be those who escape, As the LORD has said, And among the remnant, those whom the LORD calls.
