Second Account of Second Coming
"And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever. And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God, Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned."

Revelation 11:18-19

You are attempting to compare events of the 7th trumpet to events of the 7th seal but you just copied verses from the 7th trump to compare with other verses of the 7th trump. You didn't quote the 7rth seal at all. Revelation 11:15-17 and Revelation 11:18-19 are all from the text of the 7th trump.

Paul learned it from Christ. Christ described the rapture as the gathering of saints in Matthew 24, which happens right after the end of the trib and the start of the second coming.

You don't have to elaborate ...I am sure you have a verse that you believe substantiates it.

• Seventh Trumpet – Revelation 8:2 – Revelation 11:19

• Seven Vials – Revelation 15 – 19
I look at the 7 seals of being the longest period of time.

Then the trumpets then the vials.

God is going to allow the world to have their way for 7 years, and cause all people who do not love Him to follow the New Age Christ, and when they do He will end sin on earth.

But the deception happened before the 7 years period which is the new age movement who interpret the Bible and religions according to the occult and evolution, and people are still evolving to be spiritual, and a god, along with the New Age Christ who will be the greatest being who is Lucifer inhabiting a male body.

They believe Lucifer gave mankind intelligence, and is a god, and an alien, that wants to help people have peace, and advance, and evolve.

They do not believe Lucifer is a fallen angel because they do not believe in a God, and when the Bible says Lucifer fell they say it was not in to sin and disgrace, but he descended from Venus to Earth to bring the principle of mind to the then-animal man.

I believe the first 6 trumpets are warnings to the world to get right with God which after the 6th trumpet the world does not repent of their sins, and turn to God, so He gives them the New Age Christ to rule over them.

And example is WW1, did not turn to God, set up League of Nations.

After WW2, did not turn to God, set up United Nations.

And that pattern will continue until the 6th trumpet.

Which North Korea, Ukraine war, Taiwan incident, and any seemingly conflicts between nations is a scare tactic to try to drive the world together to work for peace especially since a nuclear war could happen.

The United Nations supports new age organizations and is with the new age movement as well as Science.

So the nations are actually working together but they do not want the world to know that.

Controlled conflict brings about controlled change.

They are setting things up for the New Age Christ which they do not believe he will help them until the nations come together as one to work for peace on earth so they are working on that.

America does not even care about hiding what they do anymore like Maui for the nations are together with the same plan so what are we going to do about it.

It is no longer America that we have to deal with but the world which will be shown in the future when the patriots rebel against what is going on, but they will fall.

The vials are at the end of the 7 years period because God is allowing the world to have their way for 7 years, which the first three and one half years salvation is still available to the world, and the New Age Christ has power over all nations, kindreds, and tongues, which he could not have that unless God allowed him to do it.

Those are the shortest time because it doesn't take long to break open 7 wax seals on a scroll.

3 And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.
4 And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand.
5 And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake." Rev 8:1-5

I agree on many of your points.

Endtime.com is a great resource for understanding the complexities of the Book of Revelation: https://www.endtime.com/blog/book-revelation-reveals-end-times/

The Seven Seals, the Seven Trumpets, and the Seven Vials
One of the most distinguishing end time revelations that has been revealed to us through the Book of Revelation is that many different events will be occurring over a relatively short period of time. The Seven Seals described in Revelation is the longest story of the end times – a series of disastrous events occurring with major impact on the world stage. The text also helps to understand when the opening of the seals will happen in our time, with the Great Tribulation happening between the opening of the sixth and seventh seals.

The Seven Trumpets are sounded well into when the seals have been opened – but what many people do not realize is that five of the seven trumpets have already sounded. This is one of the biggest signs that the end time is upon us, especially with the Sixth Trumpet War (Revelation 9:13-21) that will soon take place in the Middle East where there is currently so much turmoil.


The Seven Vials take place over the shortest period of time, and cover a series of specific disasters that will befall the world. The opening of the seventh vial coincides with the breaking of the sixth seal and the sounding of the seventh trumpet – the Second Coming of Jesus Christ (Revelation 11:15).


The Final Seven Years
The end time revelations have one more crucial part that explains what the signs of the end times are, including when they will take place. The Final Seven Years will begin with a time of relative calm – three and a half years when we will see an interim of peace in the Middle East over the Temple Mount by the people of Israel and Palestine.

However, during the second half of this 84-month time period, Revelation explains that things will quickly get worse. The Antichrist will take his place as the leader of the world, ushering in the Great Tribulation (Revelation 12:12) and many of the disasters referenced by the Seven Seals. We are also given a warning about the Mark of the Beast and the Antichrist’s ploy in creating allegiance to a one-world government.

Understanding More of the End Times
While these end time revelations are filled with death and destruction, the Bible also gives us hope in the name of Jesus Christ – the prophecies reveal that all of these disasters will end with the restoration of the Kingdom of God.


First Account
Begins in Revelation 4 and concludes in Revelation 8:5. This is where the Seven Seals are recorded, concluding with the Second Coming.

Second Account
Revelation 8:2 through Revelation 11:19. The passage gives many events leading up to the Second Coming, but concludes once again with the Second Coming.

Third Account
In chapter 12, God reveals to us more events from a totally different perspective.
Revelation 12–14 again, from a different perspective, tells us the story of the events that lead up to the dramatic “Unveiling of Jesus Christ” which happens in Revelation 14:14-20.

Fourth Account The Book of Revelation starts over again in chapter 15 and gives us a record of the Seven Vials. These events culminate in chapter 19: • Heavens departing • Jesus comes to earth • Fights the Battle of Armageddon • Antichrist and False Prophet thrown into the Lake of Fire • Satan is bound for 1,000 years • Kingdom of God is established

"And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.
2 And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.
3 And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.
4 And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand.
5 And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake." Rev 8:1-5
Why stop there? Can chapters 8-22 be part of the 7th seal also?

This is the complete 7th seal:

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

Nothing after this is part of the 7th seal.

Paul learned it from Christ. Christ described the rapture as the gathering of saints in Matthew 24, which happens right after the end of the trib and the start of the second coming.
Hey :) for me when I compare 1st Thess caught up with Matt 24 they do not match. We have to insert what is not there as if the holy spirit forgot or just left it out. Caught up does not even hint the world will see Him nor says anything about Angels gathering on and on. If I take it for what is written they are two events. The fact before Christ rose He told them He was going back to His Fathers house to make them (us) a home and would come back to receive us unto Himself so where He is we will be. Fact where is Christ? That is where we will be. It is never said where we are He will be.

Now this is not someone that knows He is "never" coming back in their life time knowing they will all be dead and buried and over 2 thousand plus years will have passed before He comes. For me all He knew was He could come back at any moment. See this is why I do not believe in pre mid post. Personally I lean to pre yet since I can not prove it. So I do what He said I watch and wait and am ready now and since I was not promised tomorrow. I rejoice in that it could be any moment.

Something that is not scripture is at that time they would understand what He said for they knew the father and son would pay a price for her the one he would marry. The son would go back to his fathers house to make them a home she would stay behind getting ready always watching having that candle lit for she knew not what he would come. Then about a year later the son comes with friends mostly at night and as he gets close to her he makes allot of noise so she knows. He takes her back to his fathers house for about a week.. on and on. This they understood.

Harpazo is not the only way the rapture is mentioned. Paul in his second letter spoke of the rapture as a gathering to Christ, matching the language Christ used about the rapture.



2Th 2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,

This gathering is another way to speak of the rapture. Christ used this same language:


Mat 24:29 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:
Mat 24:30 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.
Mat 24:31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

There is no doubt that both speak of the coming of Christ and the rapture which is the gathering of the saints. Because pretribbers are so loyal to their doctrine, they are forced to deny the rapture is spoken of in Matthew 24 despite that it clearly is described.

Christ places the Rapture after the GT ends, which is Post-trib. This matches what Paul said about the timing of the Rapture. Never, not a single time, is the rapture placed before the GT.

Jesus Could not speak of the (f) rapture (harpazō) of 1Th 4:17 as it had not been made known until Paul received it be revelation.
had not been made known as in ....it did not exist .....it was hid in God until after Pentecost.
John 14 records Jesus speaking about the Rapture...

John 14:
1Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
2In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

We will be Raptured up to the place where the wedding takes place and return to Earth with Him 7 years later.
