Scripture
Layers
THEN I came across Scott Clarke’s video July 27, 2018 Blood Moon a 6th Seal Sign or
Not? where he revealed things in the Scripture I had not noticed before and
taught how the Book of Revelation is written in layers (much like layering in
music and video production). Harmonizing the Scripture, he explains how the blood
moon and earthquake of Revelation 6:12 will occur at Christ’s Second Coming after the 7-year Tribulation. Some of
the verses include:
And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a
great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon
became as blood; And the stars of
heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when
she is shaken of a mighty wind. - Revelation 6:12-13 KJV
Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and
the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and
the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then
shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man
coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. - Matthew 24:29-30
KJV
Scottie points out that the throne room scene in Revelation
Chapter 4 and 5 is the same throne room scene in Revelation Chapter 14. He unveiled something I had NEVER BEFORE thought of which is that the 144,000 sealed of Israel are the Old Testament saints Jesus offered up to YHWH at His own resurrection as a Firstfruits Wave Offering (Matthew 27:52-53)!
A
careful reading of Revelation 4 and 5 indicates that Jesus’ opening of the
seals is for the purpose of REVEALING the contents of the scroll to John who
recorded it, thus we have The Book of Revelation unsealed to us now:
And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this
book: for the time is at hand. - Revelation 22:10 KJV
Daniel was told to seal the prophecy “until the time of the end” (Daniel 12:4 and 9); however, John was told not to seal the prophecy!
The Seals are a
Synopsis
Therefore, the
opening of the Seals is not a separate part of the 7-year Tribulation but is a
synopsis of it.
Dr. Robert D. Luginbill’s article, “The Heavenly Prelude to
the Tribulation”, gives further insight:
The so-called
"four horsemen" of seals one through four are symbols representing
specific tribulational trends (as is the case with seals five and six as well),
and are not actual entities in their own right. . .
The "four
horsemen", the consecutive trends which accompany antichrist's rise to
power and administration of his satanic kingdom, represent patterns of activity
destined to occur during the first half of the seven-year Tribulation. On the
other hand, the fifth and sixth seals represent the most important events of
the Tribulation's second half or "the Great Tribulation", namely, the
Great Persecution (seal five), and the divine response to it (most notably the
ten "bowl judgments" and the final judgments of Armageddon which
accompany the Second Advent). . .
The Tribulation's First Half (four major trends):
1. White horse: Antichrist's Conquests: the trend of
warfare and aggression
2. Red horse: Civil Discord: the trend of lawlessness
and political destabilization
3. Black horse: Economic Constraint: the trend of
economic dislocation and famine
4. Pale-green horse: Accelerated Mortality: the trend
of plague and rampant death
The Great Tribulation (two major events):
5. Martyrs: the Great Persecution (of believers
by antichrist and his religion)
6. Judgments: the Second Advent (with its
preliminary and concomitant judgments)
Like the false
labor pains or Braxton-Hicks contractions of a woman before her labor or
travail begins in earnest, so we see signs of these coming tribulations now
with civil division, economic unrest, sporadic plague outbreaks, persecution, exponentially-increased
volcanic and quake activity and rumors of war.
The Great Harvest
Explained
In a related video—The
Rapture | Dispensation Resurrections & The Great Harvest—Scott explains
THE GREAT HARVEST and how it is divided into the First Resurrection and the
Second Resurrection.
I had researched this subject myself leaning heavily on
Perry Stone’s teachings; however, I believe Scott Clarke has rightly divided
the Word of Truth regarding the order of all the end time resurrections and
catching away of the saints:
THE GREAT HARVEST
Matthew 9:37-38
(foreshadowed in the
Old Testament in Leviticus 23)
1st Resurrection—is made up of
three parts:
1—Firstfruits—Leviticus 23:10; Matthew 27:52-53; Revelation
7:3-8 and 14:1-5
2—Main Harvest—1 Thessalonians 4:17; 1 Corinthians 15:52;
Revelation 4:1-2 and 12:5
3—Gleanings—Leviticus 23:22; Revelation 6:9-11 and 7:9-17
and 14:15-16 and 20:4-6
Blessed and holy [is] he that hath part in the first resurrection: on
such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of
Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. - Revelation 20:6 KJV
2nd Resurrection—is unto eternal
torment
And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books
were opened: and another book was opened, which is [the book] of life: and the
dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according
to their works.
And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell
delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man
according to their works.
And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second
death.
And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into
the lake of fire. Revelation 20:12-15 KJV
Those who are given eternal life through the Messiah are judged according to His righteousness; however, those who are part of the second resurrection are judged according to their works. Since no one is without sin, your works will not give you eternal life in Heaven (Galatians 2:16).
Not much time is
left for those who desire to be part of the Main Harvest that is gathered
before Daniel’s 70th Week, The 7-year Tribulation also known as The
Birthpangs of Messiah (the Gleanings or Tribulation Saints aren’t gathered
until the end of the Tribulation!).
Loving Jesus is NOT Enough!
Loving Jesus is not
enough. If you want to meet Him in the air, you must make Him the Lord or
Master over your life instead of you being your own master (Romans 10:9). He is
the only way to eternal life with the
true God of Love!
Blessed and holy [is] he that
hath part in the first resurrection:
on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of
Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. Revelation 20:6
