Eight things from rev 6-7

Black horse- Satanic erros now sneaking in. Indulgences for eg., superstition baptizing babies

Pale horse- Spiritually malnourished church

Cry of martyrs- Crying out for vengeance and liberation

Cosmic signs- Earthquake, astronomical events, natural disasters, global warming

144,000 vs great multitude- who are they- 144,000, why are they special

Silence in Heaven for space of ½ hour-
One school of thought says- the silence in heaven is following the events just before coming of Christ- caused by fact that everyone- the angelic host and Christ is coming for the saints- so there is silence
Second School- Silence is silence of expectancy- like a kind of awe in anticipation of what is to come- this silence is a bridge to the opening of the seven trumpets

37
Q

Half an hour explanation

A

Half an hour- prophetic formula- 1 day= 360 years. So ½ hour = (1 day has 24 hours, and so there are 48 half hours= 360/48= 7.5

Some say it is an unspecified period of time as there is weak evidence to support breaking down time prophecy to ½ hour

Q
