Has the Tribulation Period already begun? Are the Seals already Broken? Many Students of the End Times assert that it has begun and the Seals have been broken. This is based on the Book of Revelation. Like most Topics dealing with Prophecy, there are copious amounts of Interpretations that are propagated. In many instances, entire Meaning of Terms and Words are changed to mean something other than what they were intended to mean. It is to suit one’s Interpretation. The result is much Confusion and Frustration and even Offenses. 

The Seals cast their Prophetic Shadow upon the Church Age, but they are not Broken. If so, where is or who is the AntiChrist? Where is the Temple that he is to enter it and defile it? Where and who is the False Prophet. Who are the 144K Jewish Evangelists? Where is Elijah? Here is the Online Link to this Chart on is referring to for one’s Review and Study. If one may interject about the Scenario of the Tribulation Period?
 

What has helped provide some Perspective is to have taken the 22 Chapters of the Book of Revelation and ascribed to it each of the 22 Letters of the Hebrew Alefbet. In doing so, one can then ascribe their Letter-to-Numerical Value. Consider the Outcome that becomes very interesting. One is thus more convinced of a Pre-Tribulation Rapture Scenario. Moreover, there is a clear Delineation of what pertains to the Church Age and what does not. This is the main Reason for the Confusion.

THE BOOK OF REVELATION ALEFBET

It is this Framework that one has come to see that there are 7 ‘Raptures’ or Translations within this Final Book of Revelation as a Book of 7’s, as it is. Thus, when Brethren argue, the Rapture is Pre-Tribulation? True. Is it Mid-Tribulation? Yes. Is it Post-Tribulation? True. Is it Pre-Wrath? Yes.

Also consider the Prophetic Echo or Foreshadowing of the Olivet Discourse. Jesus debriefed His Disciples of what Israel, i.e., the Believing Remnant was to do at the Mid-Point of the coming Tribulation Period. The entire Olivet Discourse was a ‘Back to the Prophet Future’ Retrospect. One’s Point is that the Church Age was not in the forefront of the Jewish Mindset who were asking about when the End of the Age and Jesus’
 

Tribulation Period Thoughts/Scenarios?
Return was to occur. This Mid-Point that is defined by the Abomination of Desolation referred back to Daniel. It is then what delineates the 22 Chapters of the Book of Revelation. It pertains to the Tribulation of Jacob, not the Church. But because the Language is the same, as in ‘Tribulation’, is confused in how the ‘After the Tribulation’ of those Days is confused in how the Church Age is naturally interjected right into the midst of the Book of Revelation. 

Consider that the Book outlines itself of what is and what will come after this. What is ‘This’? It is the Church Age. Thus, it is one’s Interpretation that all that is to occur after Chapter 4 is Post-Rapture. And the Mid-Point of the entire Book, it is precisely Chapter 12, which is corresponding to the Revelation 12 Sign. Note that, if for example one considers a possible Fall 2025 to Fall 2032 Tribulation Period Timeline, the Year 2029 will be that Mid-Point. And that is precisely when the King Planet, Jupiter is next in Virgo, i.e., the Revelation 12 Sign.
 

Yes, one has attempted to plot the 7 Seals of the Book of Revelation on a Timeline. One has a Chart for that. See Link below for a visual in the subsequent Chart. The Rationale is basically assigning 1 Unit of Time or Value per each Chapter. Now as a Disclaimer, one is not presuming to have ‘figured-it-all-out’ nor to argue. One is just presenting one’s Research and Studies as others do and to share Thoughts, compare notes and ‘Agree to Disagree’, agreeably. On this side of the Rapture, one can only see and know in part.

But we know Jesus who knows all things and we have the Mind of Christ, etc. The following is just one’s best attempt thus far. One often states that it is about a Learning Curve that one is on and every-learning. Now as to the Seals? The original and ancient Concept of the Seals is based on the Sillybos. A Scroll was sealed with Seals, all tied together by a String. And as the initial Seal was broken, it only allowed the Reader to read up to the subsequent Seal, and so forth. It was Progressive Revelation.
 

One is of the Interpretation that the Seals begin to be broken, after the Rapture as the Bride has to face her Accuser and be Adjudicated of Lucifer’s Argument against her. Essentially, this occurs after the Rapture, and the Bema Seat Rewards Review is conducted. But before the Bride of Christ sits in Session as witnessed by both Daniel and John, for example, the Bride has to be vindicated when the Lamb sits in session of the Judicial Court in Heaven, i.e., the Lion of Judah/Lamb and breaks the Seals to do that. The Breaking of the Seals is a ‘Reading of the Will’.
 

And in this case, the Beneficiary who has died, Jesus, is now forevermore alive and now authorized to execute the Contents of the Will or the Scroll of that ‘Last Will and Testament’. Obviously this is one’s Supposition and helps to visualize what could be the case, Prophetically. Thus, it is at the Mid-Point of the 7-Year Tribulation that Lucifer is then forever Evicted from Heaven to never accuse the Bride anymore. This is thanks to the Resurrection of Jesus. The breaking of the Seals, as the Bride is the Witness, is essentially the Sentencing of Lucifer and his Fallen Angels. 

Prophetic Typology 

It is their notice of Eviction from the Judicial Court and that of Heaven, all-inclusive. Thus, as Lucifer no longer can accuse nor face the Woman of the Lion/Lamb, the casting down of Lucifer with all of his Fallen Angels occurs. It is Lucifer’s attempt to storm Heaven and retake his Throne, etc. This is what one calls the Revelation 12 War. Lucifer then goes after the Physical Bride of YHVH, the Revelation 12 Woman. That is or will be the Believing Remnant that then flees to the Wilderness. This is what one calls the Exodus 2.0.

Obviously, this Scenario does not account for the Seals occurring at the End or the 2nd Half of the Tribulation as the 7 Seals lead to the 7 Trumpets and then the 7 Bowls. If there is a Progressive overlap? Perhaps, but one does not see that. One has considered the Notion that Jesus is to return on Yom Kippur, based on other Models and Scenarios, as it has been suggested. Here is one’s Hesitation, for what it is worth. One subscribes that the 7 Main Feasts of YHVH are like the Prophetic Pattern of the 6 Days of Creation and the Sabbath Day, and like the Menorah, etc.

And that Jesus literally has, is and will fulfill them in their Typology in Humanity’s Realm of Space and Time, etc. All that to say that as Jesus fulfilled Passover, Unleavened Bread and the First Fruits of the Barley, that was in the Past and done succinctly. What is presently being fulfilled is Pentecost, per Acts 2. Now here is where one has been the Proponent of the New Wine Theory of a Summer Wheat Harvest Rapture Timing. Anyway, then in the Future, Jesus will fulfill the 3 remaining Feast Types of Yom Teruah, Yom Kippur and Sukkot, etc. 

Meaning that if Prophecy is Pattern, then Jesus ‘must’ return on a Yom Teruah, not on a Yom Kippur. So, if one is proposing a Prophetic Fulfilment of Jesus returning on a Yom Kippur? OK, but what about the Prophetic Typology that should correspond to Yom Teruah being fulfilled Prophetically? As to the 2 Witnesses? It is generally assumed that they either show-up at the beginning or at the Mid-Point of the 2520 Day Count. It is because they have a 1260 Day Mission to accomplish. 

It is debatable when that will actually occur. But what if the 1260 Day Count is not specifically pegged to either the Beginning or the Mid-Point? Something to consider. But it will be as in the Days of Ahab and Pharaoh as the AntiChrist and the False Prophet will be as a Type to have Israel needing to deal with, leading to a final Conclusion and Redemption. Because of this, one interprets that the Seals, being the beginning of the Lamb’s Wrath, all-inclusive is what excludes the Church from any part of it, as it cannot be under the Wrath of the Lamb.
 

And in one’s Interpretation, the Bride of the Lion, the Lamb is seated in Court, as the 24 Elders who have been redeemed by the Blood, it states, etc. She is essentially the Witness to the Reading of the Will or the Scroll of the 7 Seals, etc. One sees the Rationale for what some Brethren assume the Shortening of the Days could actually mean. Notwithstanding, it is not pertinent to the Church Body as the Bride is not the Remnant nor the ‘Elect’, respectfully. 

Double-Jeopardy 

That is Israel and why for the sake of the Jewish Believing Remnant, that is the Elect, the Duration of the Tribulation Period will not exceed the last Sabbath Remaining that is owed by Israel for not keeping the Sabbaths of the Land. This has nothing to do with the Church Age, as its Temple, Promised Land and Inheritance is not Geo-Political nor Geographic, etc. One would contend that there is the Age of the Church and that Age or Dispensation is concluded with the Rapture. As with any Military Commission, there is an agreed upon Duration of Service and then a Terminal Date that then involves what is called a Separation.

Once the Commission of the Church is concluded, the last remaining Sabbath of Israel is to commence, once the Church Commission is concluded the Rapture is that ‘Separation’, from the Earth. This Separation also includes the Age. One cannot have Double-Jeopardy in having the Bride of Christ spend 1 Day past into the Tribulation of Israel of what Israel owes YHVH. The Bride owes nothing to Jesus but gratitude, but no outstanding Land Grant Issues of Rent not paid, etc. Back when one’s Research was coming-up with a 32 AD Crucifixion Year, one came across the Work of Ken Johnson. One contacted him about his 32 AD Essene Time-Frame.

It was a Confirming Moment as one has primarily used Astronomy to have determined that. As to the Question about when the 3rd Temple could possibly start its construction? Good Question. Based on the Fall 2025 to Fall 2032 Tribulation Period Timeline, it would then strongly suggest that the Temple ‘has’ to be in-place by the end of Sukkot. Conventionally, yes, a Building of that magnitude would be hard-pressed to be raised up in just a few Months.
 

However, the Word is that the Temple has been essentially prefabricated already. It would only take a matter of a few Weeks at most to put it up, like a Lego Set. Perhaps. But then there is the Issue of the Ashes of the Red Heifer that needs to make the Altar, the Temple, the Temple Mount and all of Israel, ‘Kosher’ for the Daily Offerings to then be ‘Acceptable, etc. But one does see that if the 2025-2032 Model does not pan-out, it will be just then another ‘Nothing Burger’ and the Research must continue.
