Bible Note: Mommapbs, If you believe the Rapture occurs before the great tribulation, you must also accept that, in the days immediately thereafer, Jesus will also "gather the Elect together above, from all the extremities of earth unto heaven, and will send the angels to gather them out of the four wind directions of all the extremities of the heavens." That is His promise in Mark 13:24,27 and Matt.24:29-31. But since this gathering occurs after the 1260 Endtime days, God's Day of Wrath cannot begin until the Lamb opens Seal 6 (Prior to Act One of the Open Temple) and the Hour of wrath cannot begin until He opens Seal 7 (Prior to Act Three of Trump 7 where alone God's wrath is announced from heaven as having come). Seal 7 describes the same Tribunal and Verdict as found in Dan.7:9-22 after the Lamb rescues the 144,000 from Mt. Zion and they "come with Him on the clouds of heaven to present Him as the worthy Son of Man by singing the new song of the Lamb on that Day. Dan.7:13, Rev.14:3,4, Rev.15:3,4. The Lamb rescues them and they present the Son of Man before God in song and then the Court sits in judgment on the Beast. The 7th Trumpet itself does not sound that God's wrath has come until the 7th Bowl Plague empties into the air, for no one enters the Temple prior to the last Plague. Rev.15:8. The Plagues do not complete God's wrath. They had already exhausted His anger. See New Jerusalem Bible on Rev.15:1. God's anger must mix full strength in the Cup of Wrath (14:10) after the Tribunal of Seal 7 and Dan.7 and after martyrs sing that the plagues had already completed God's anger, aorist tense! That's when the Temple opens with "after these things, I looked and behold ..." Rev.15:5. The action in the Temple begins instantly with the same expression in 7:9: "after these things, I looked and behold." All those having been killed and having "come out of the great tribulation" (the 144,000 at Rev.14:1-5, all the martyrs from under the Altar according to 7:14 and the Two Prophets raised up at 11:12) enter the Temple and praise God and the Lamb by name for the first time. 7:9-17! The Testimony of Act One (7:9-17) is anticipated in Rev.15:5. Act Two, the Tribunal of Seal 7 with its Verdict of Fire and Act Three, the Triumph of Trump 7 with Christ's coronation, immediately follow with the proclamation that God's wrath has come. Revelation is not written as a chronological unfolding of events. God's wrath is limited to the Cup of Anger and Wrath poured out during the Hour of Trial on all the inhabitants of earth and on the wicked gathered to Armageddon. Rev.3:10, 14:10, Luke 21:35. The only combined execution of "anger and wrath" mentioned in the Greek is at Rev.16:19-21 and 19:15-21. Mel |
