2 | Is this the calm before the storm? | Rev 8:1 | notnow | 51701 | ||
I believe only God knows what the seals contain so when the 7th seal is broken the angels that will carry out the punishments would then need to be told what to do and to prepare. It seems the half hour has a two-fold purpose. One, to make preparations for it and two, to allow those who still have not come to God to ask for forgiveness before enduring the next hardship of the tribulation. The Book of Revelation and all the plagues,etc. that take place are for the purpose of showing non-believers that one, God is real and exists and 2) to punish them for the evil they do and 3) to make them see the only way to salvation is through admitting they are sinners before and God and asking for forgiveness. People left after the Rapture will endure horrible times and they will be those who have not yet committed their lives to God. God does not send out these punishments to be mean but rather to teach the unbelievers to see there must be a God in charge of all this. |
