'Prelude to World War 3'
When we start to synchronise the various signs and prophecies, which compliment one another, we should be able to understand that event better. The most important event for Christians is the Blessed Hope or Rapture which, surprisingly is the easiest to synchronize.
1. Great Heavenly Blackout
Mat 24:29-30 "Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory."
After the Great Tribulation will be the great heavenly blackout. Trumpet sounds will herald the coming of the Lord. As the stars start to fall from heaven, the power of heaven will be shaken. As the stars get bigger and bigger, all mankind will see our Lord Jesus and His angelic hosts coming in power and glory to gather His elect.
Mark 13:27 "And then He will send His angels, and gather together His elect from the four winds, from the farthest part of earth to the farthest part of heaven."
2. Trumpets herald His coming
1 The 4.16-17 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.
At the sound of the last trumpet, the dead will rise first followed by those still alive to meet the Lord in the air in their newly transformed glorious bodies.
1 Cor 15:51-53 Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed -- in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
3. Great Earthquake
Rev 6:12-14 I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood. And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind. Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place."
During the great earthquakes worldwide, all mankind will run to the open areas. They will witness the great heavenly blackout. Without the sunlight, the moon will turn blood red and then to black. Trumpets will sound to herald our Lord Jesus and His angelic hosts coming down to earth as stars falling from heaven. As the stars draw nearer, all mankind will see our Lord Jesus. The elect (the dead in Christ and those still alive) will meet the Lord in the air in their new glorious bodies.
The great earthquake, which causes the mountains and islands to move out of their places will kill half of all those left behind (Luke 17:35-37).
7th Seal - Wrath of God
Rev 8:1-2 When He opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and to them were given seven trumpets.
All those Left behind will face the wrath of God or the wrath of the Lamb in the 7 Trumpets or the 7 Bowls/Vials (Rev 17) for worshipping the beast (the Antichrist) and taking his mark.
Rev 14:9-10 Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb.
