The rapture of the church takes place just as the seventh trumpet sounds
Diagram showing the three groups of people who will be on earth during the great tribulation: The Saints (Born Again believers), The Gentiles (Pagans) and the Woman (Israel).
The 144000 taken from the 12 tribes of Israel are intimately related to the Woman in Revelation chapter 12.
The 1260 days that the Dragon pursues the Woman (time times and half a time) is the same 1260 days that the 2 witnesses prophesy. This also corresponds to the 42 months that the saints are persecuted and the 42 months that the Gentiles trample Jerusalem.
The Trumpets sound at the same time the seals are opened with the seventh seal being simultaneous with the seventh trumpet.
The Church is Raptured at the end of the 1260 day Great Tribulation
God then pours out his wrath on the Nations who are left behind. The seven bowls of God’s wrath are poured out in the next 75 days – this is the third woe which is part of the seventh trumpet.
The 144000 from the 12 tribes of Israel are also sealed and protected during this time.
Christ will lead an army of believers to strike down the Nations and defeat the Beast and the False Prophet. (Rev 19)
God will separate the sheep from the Goats during the 75 days that follow the rapture of the Church.

When the seventh seal is opened, the seventh trumpet sounds, the Church goes up in the twinkling of an eye and then God pours out his wrath.
Revelation 10:7
But in the days when the seventh angel is about to sound his trumpet, the mystery of God will be accomplished, just as he announced to his servants the prophets.” (NIV)
But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets. (KJV)
The mystery of God will be accomplished when the seventh angel begins to sound his trumpet. This mystery is also mentioned in connection to the last trumpet in 1Cor 15:51-52. This mystery is that we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed in the twinkling of an eye when the seventh angel begins to sound his trumpet.
1Cor 15:51-52
Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed— in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.
When the Seventh angel sounds his trumpet, Christ has opened the last seal on the scroll which is part of the book of life containing the names of the Children of God. It is time for the Children of God to be revealed. When the trumpet sounds, poof, in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, the first resurrection and the rapture take place.
Rom 8:18-19
I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed.
Creation is waiting in eager expectation for the Children of God to be revealed. This will happen when the Lamb opens the last seal on the Scroll which is part of the Book of Life. At that moment, the Children of God will be redeemed from the Earth but not before those who are asleep in Christ are raised.
Rev 11:15-18
The seventh angel sounded his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, which said: “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Messiah, and he will reign for ever and ever.” And the twenty-four elders, who were seated on their thrones before God, fell on their faces and worshiped God, saying: “We give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty, the One who is and who was, because you have taken your great power and have begun to reign. The nations were angry, and your wrath has come. The time has come for judging the dead, and for rewarding your servants the prophets and your people who revere your name, both great and small—and for destroying those who destroy the earth.”
When the seventh angel sounds his trumpet, the kingdom of this world becomes the kingdom of our Lord and of his Messiah and he will reign for ever and ever. The mystery of God is accomplished (Rev 10:7) and the sons and daughters of God are revealed. The Book of Life, the little scroll has been opened and those who inherit eternal life as the Children of God are raptured or resurrected to be with Jesus and will remain with him forever.
But there is more to the seventh trumpet; the Nations were angry for the time of God’s wrath has come. The seventh trumpet is the third woe and it contains the seven bowls of God’s wrath which are for the whole Earth (not just a third of the Earth as was the case with the trumpets). The seventh trumpet is the time when God pours out his wrath on the nations who have been left behind after the Church has been removed and the 144000 Jews Sealed.
The dead outside of Christ are not resurrected for judgment until after the Millennium.
Rev 6:12-17
I watched as he opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake. The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole moon turned blood red, and the stars in the sky fell to earth, as figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind. The heavens receded like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place.
Then the kings of the earth, the princes, the generals, the rich, the mighty, and everyone else, both slave and free, hid in caves and among the rocks of the mountains. They called to the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! For the great day of their wrath has come, and who can withstand it?” (NIV)
The sixth seal involves an earthquake, signs in the sky, stars falling to earth and the heavens receding like a scroll being rolled up. The kings of the Earth, princes, general, the rich and mighty and everybody tried to hide form what was about to happen in the next seal. For the time of God’s wrath has come. God’s wrath will not be poured out until the Church is removed and the 144000 are sealed. This is exactly what happens next and then the seventh seal is mentioned.
Rev 7:1-4 & 9-14
After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth to prevent any wind from blowing on the land or on the sea or on any tree. Then I saw another angel coming up from the east, having the seal of the living God. He called out in a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm the land and the sea: “Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees until we put a seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God.” Then I heard the number of those who were sealed: 144,000 from all the tribes of Israel.
After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. And they cried out in a loud voice: “Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb.” All the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures. They fell down on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, saying: “Amen! Praise and glory and wisdom and thanks and honor and power and strength be to our God for ever and ever. Amen!” Then one of the elders asked me, “These in white robes—who are they, and where did they come from?” I answered, “Sir, you know.” And he said, “These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. (NIV)
After the sixth seal, but before the seventh seal is mentioned, the 144000 from all the tribes of Israel and the Great Multitude from every nation, tribe, people and language are described. Finally the seventh seal is mentioned, almost in passing. When it was opened, there was ‘silence in heaven for half an hour’.
The sealing of the 144000 and the rapture of the Great multitude could well be what the seventh seal is all about as the names on the little scroll are not known until the seventh seal is opened. When the scroll is opened the rapture an the first resurrection take place.
Rev 8:1
When he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. (NIV)
This verse really belongs to chapter 7. It follows the discourse on the Great multitude and the 144000. As nothing else is said about the seventh seal, perhaps the sealing of the 144000 and the rapture of the great multitude are what the seventh seal is about. They are not just placed ‘in between’ the sixth and the seventh seal.
The seventh seal therefore is intimately liked to the rapture and the first resurrection as well as God’s wrath. This is also what the seventh trumpet is about. The seventh seal and the seventh trumpet are, therefore, coincident with one another.
This begs the question: “What about the other trumpets, are they coincident with the respective seal.
The seven bowls of God’s wrath are part of the seventh trumpet and are poured out after the Church has been raptured.
God fulfills some of his promises during the Millennium
When Christ comes unexpectedly at the end of this Age, He will redeem his people from the Earth.
The dead in Christ will rise first followed by those who are alive in Christ. This is the first ressurrection and the rapture (or the Harvest) at the End of the Age.
Hence, all believers will be called up to be with Christ when he returns and they will remain with Him forever. (1Thess 4:17)
Believers will all stand before The Judgment Seat of Christ and will reign with him for 1000 years in Heaven over the Nations on Earth and will be rewarded for the things that they have done in the Body.
When Christ returns with his army of Believers, he will defeat the Beast and the False Prophet and the Kings of the Earth. He will separate the nations into the Sheep and the Goats.
The Dead outside of Christ will not be raised until after the Millennium.
Satan is bound for the duration of the Millennium and then is released for a brief time before being thrown into to the Lake of Fire where the Beast and the Antichrist were thrown at the Battle of Armageddon before the Millennium started.
At the End of the Millennium, the Dead in Hades and the Sea will be raised for Judgment at the Great White Throne. Those whose names are not in the Lamb’s Book of Life will be thrown into the Lake of Fire which is the second death.
Death itself is thrown into the Lake of Fire.
Finaly, when all things have been put under Christ’s feet, the Son hands the Kingdom back to the Father.
God then makes all things New.
The New Jerusalem descends from heaven as a Bride beautifully adorned for her husband.
God lives with Man on Earth in the New Jerusalem which is composed of New and Old Testament believers.
The Nations are outside but are allowed to bring their glory into the New Jerusalem once a year and are given the Leaves of the Tree of Life for healing.
The Millennium is mentioned six times in the third last chapter of the Bible.
Peter also makes reference to a day being like a thousand years.
God created the world in six days and we are about six thousand years from Adam!
Is Christ about to return? Is the final millennium about to start?
The Bible begins and ends with God creating (or recreating) the heavens and the earth the way He intended it to be.
In the third chapter of the Bible (Gen 3), Satan enters to corrupt mankind and lead man away from God’s purposes.
Not surprizingly, it is in the third last chapter of the Bible (Rev 20) that Satan exits (he is thrown into the Lake of Fire along with Hades and death and all those whose names are not in the Book of Life).
In between the first three chapters and the last three chapters of the Bible, God sets about redeeming man and restoring man to his purposes and in so doing, brings Glory to Himself.
If Satan would like to remove one chapter from the Bible, it would be the third last one; the one in which he is judged and thrown into the Lake of Fire.
This is also the Chapter that deals with the Millennium. The Millennium reveals how God deals with His people and the People of the World (ie the Nations).
If Christians are to go to heaven after Christ returns, it will be during the Millennium.
It is during the Millennium that Christians are rewarded for the things that they have done in the body.
When Christ returns at the beginning of the Millennium, the Nations will be sorted into the Sheep (who were kind to God’s people) and the Goats (who persecuted God’s people).
At the End of the Millennium, all enemies are put under Christ’s feet and Jesus hands the Kingdom back to the Father.
God then lives with man in the New Jerusalem on a New Earth surrounded buy the Nations who refused the Mark of the Beast and were kind to God’s people during the Great Tribulation.

The seventh seal: The Church is raptured and 144000 Jews are sealed and then God pours out his wrath upon the Nations
The Church is raptured before God pours out his wrath at the opening of the Seventh Seal
THE SAINTS ARE HARVESTED (TRANSFIGURED, REDEEMED, RAPTURED) AT THE LAST TRUMPET
The Church, The Bride of Christ is raptured at the Last (seventh) Trumpet.
THE SAINTS ARE HARVESTED (TRANSFIGURED, REDEEMED, RAPTURED) AT THE LAST TRUMPET
1Cor 15:51-53 Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed–in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality.
The Great Multitude appear in Heaven after the sixth seal is opened.
The saints will be handed over to the beast and persecuted for 1260 days or 42 months, times time and time and a half.
Christ tells us in Matthew 24 that the rapture will be immediately after the distress of those days.
When the seventh trumpet sounds, Christ’s coming will usher in His Millennial Kingdom and God’s wrath on the Nations is complete.
The rapture, the first resurection and the second coming of Christ are firmly linked.
Christ will defeat the Antichrist when he comes. This will put an end to the Great Tribulation.
The Church is spared from the bowls of God’s wrath which follow the Rapture
This is all consistent with the rapture being at the seventh (or last) trumpet.
The ‘last trumpet’ in 1Cor 15, therefore, corresponds to Seventh Trumpet in Revelation.
The Seventh Trumpet announces the second coming of Christ to redeem his Church and the Day of the Lord
The Seventh Trumpet announces the second coming of Christ to redeem his Church and the Day of the Lord when God pours out his Wrath upon the pagans
The bowls of Gods Wrath are the Third Woe and are part of the seventh Trumpet
The Bowls are part of the Seventh Trumpet. They are the Third woe. The Bowls are for the unbelieving nations who are left on the Earth after the Church is Raptured. The Church is raptured as soon as the seventh trumpet is sounded (1Cor 15:52). The seventh trumpet signifies the end of this age and so it continues to sound until all of the Bowls of God\’s Wrath are poured out.
The End Times Prophesies of the Bible
A prewrath view with synchronous seals and trumpets and nested Bowls. A prewrath view.
Take Heed, the Kingdom of Heaven is near. Do not Accept the Mark of the Beast
The Prewrath Rapture of the Church and the Pre-Millennial Return of Christ (with synchronous seals and trumpets)
There will be a small number of believers who are raptured before the great tribulation starts. These are the firstfruits of the harvest and are raptured pretribulation.
The Great Multitude are raptured before God pours out his wrath on the nations.
The seventh seal, the seventh trumpet and the seventh bowl all co-incide with with end of this age and the beginning of the millennium.
The bowls of God’s Wrath are poured out after the church has been raptured which is between the sixth and the seventh seal and trumpet.
Christ’s return is Pre-Millennial.
The Rapture of the Church (or the Harvest) is Pre-Wrath but not Pre-Tribulation.
God will Rapture the Church before he pours out his Wrath
Jesus is coming soon. Will you be ready? Many will come in his name pretending to be him. Don’t be deceived. When he comes he will be visible to all the world.
There will be wars famines and natural disasters.
A world leader will emerge claiming to have all the answers. He will try to unite the world. Everybody will have to pledge allegiance to him and nobody will be able to trade without his mark. Eventually he will proclaim himself to be God and will kill anybody who does not worship him.
Christians will be persecuted and put to death. When the power of the Holy people has been broken, Christ will return and rapture the Church. He will then pour out his wrath on the Nations who have been left behind.
