In Revelation chapter 7, the Apostle John reveals that Heaven will be alive with the wondrous sounds of a great multitude crying out: “Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.” Alongside this great multitude, angels, elders, and living creatures will bow down to worship God around His throne with powerful words of praise! And then, immediately after the opening of the seventh seal around the scroll, without any warning or transition – John suddenly speaks of “silence in Heaven” for the duration of half an hour. What is it that will cause the joyous multitude in Heaven to instantaneously turn from singing to silence in one breathless moment?

In this episode, David discusses the epic events which will take place in a brief, but crucial interval between the breaking of the sixth and seventh seals around the scroll in the Book of Revelation. Before God’s wrath and fury rains down upon a sinful and unrepentant humanity during the Day of the Lord, 144,000 Jews will be sealed for protection and a great multitude of faithful followers of Jesus Christ will be gloriously resurrected or raptured.

In part 2B of this series, David focuses on the first six seals around the scroll in Revelation 6 and the prophetic events associated with each of them. Remarkably, the description of these seals in the last book of the Bible precisely parallels Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 24. When seen together, these biblical passages reveal a chronology of end-time events that may surprise you.
