The Sixth Seal of Revelation. Signs in the Cosmos and Prophecy Analysis

The Sixth Seal of Revelation and Signs in the Cosomos

The Sixth Seal of Revelation as mentioned in the Book of Revelation contains a number of unmistakable events and covers six verses in Chapter 6 from Verse 12-17 in Revelation, pretty much a third of it.This is an in depth article as I feel this Sixth Seal of Revelation is one of the most important signs in the lead up to the Great Tribulation.

Revelation 6:12-17
12. And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
13. And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
14. And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
15. And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
16. And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
17. For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

There is an accompanying video to this article over at The Twelve Gates You Tube Channel called The Sixth Seal of Revelation and Bible Prophecy Explained which goes into great detail cross referencing these verses with the old major prophets such as Ezekiel, Daniel, Jeremiah and Isaiah revealing what will happen in those times and what it will be like. It will quite clearly be an unmistakable event and has been known for a considerable period of time.

The Olivet Discourse and Revelation. Similarities?
When the Sixth Seal of Revelation is opened it will be something that is mentioned in the Bible "something never seen before and never to be seen again". There are a lot of parallels with Revelation and Matthew 24 which forms part of the Olivet Discourse where Jesus addressed the multitude on the Mount of Olives. Also found in Mark 13 and Luke 21. He was in effect addressing the Jews but he also spoke to his disciples. He mentioned the destruction of The Temple of Jerusalem which happened in 70AD but he also in addition described a future age beyond that date, this cannot be denied regardless of who he was addressing. The events he was describing when his disciples asked him how will we know of his return (second coming) are shockingly similar to what is mentioned in The Book of Revelation by St John the Divine.

St John wrote the Book of Revelation AFTER the death of Jesus and AFTER the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70AD. The bulk of traditional sources date the book to the reign of the emperor Domitian (AD 81-96), and the evidence tends to confirm this.This Book is further qualified by other Prophets in the Old Testament that were also discussing a future age and the end of an era including Daniel, Isaiah and Ezekiel with shocking similarities as demonstrated in the before mentioned video.

Matthew 24:21
For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

The opening of the Seals not even the Sixth Seal as dramatic as it sounds does not form part of the Great Tribulation, but is part of the Tribulation period as in 7 years, you could say a Pre Tribulation or Pre Wrath. The Great Tribulation often referred to as Jacob's Trouble is 3.5 years in length and forms the second half of the Tribulation period of 7 years mentioned.

Rightly Dividing is very relevant to these times mentioned during this period, with two being prominent those being The Church Age (Christians 1 Cor 9:21) and those Under the Law (Jews 1 Cor 9:20) mentioned by Paul in First Corinthians.

1 Corinthians 9:20-21
20. And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law;
21. To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law.


There are various views on this, like with many things in Christianity(Rapture is one) but many say the Gospels (the first four books of the New Testament) form the Pre Church Age and Acts onwards is the start of the Church Age. Views on this include the Premillennial View, Dispensational Premillennial View, Postmillennial View and Amillennial View. My view is Jews and Christians are ruled by the same God and you cannot simply dismiss anything that was said in the Gospels prior to Acts as only in reference to the Jews? Further reading on that at the Bottom of this Article


It doesn't matter who Jesus was addressing at the time (this time was Pre Church), it could be the Jews, The Greeks, The Romans, The Gentiles or any other race of people or religious creed, the fact remains what Jesus was describing in Matthew 24 is the exact same event mentioned in the Book of Revelation and also by Prophets of old. There is only one future End Age Tribulation Period and one Great Tribulation regardless of who he was addressing at that time. The only major difference is when you throw the Rapture into the equation. The Church gets raptured..... the Jew as Jews.... do not. Hence why Matthew 24 in particular and the Olivet Discourse is vitally important in Bible Prophecy and not to be dismissed as something that only applies to the Jews. The same God applies to both Christians and Jews and both need to be aware of the same Tribulation!

Here''s an example of a similarity of what Jesus says in Matthew 24 and what St John the Divine says in Revelation 6

Sixth Seal (part 1) Revelation:
12. And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
13. And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
14. And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
(Revelation 6:12-14).

Jesus in Matthew 24 (Olivet Discourse)
29. Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
(Matthew 24:29).

The Sixth Seal. Signs in the Cosmos
After reading the Sixth Seal what must be at least a hundred times probably more, the following conclusions were reached.

Verse 12 and 13
12. And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
13. And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.

Verse 12 13 and all those 3 events happen at the same time, it sounds ridiculous but that is what those verses are saying in my opinion. There will be a Great Earthquake (possibly Global) and at the same time a Solar Eclipse and a Blood Red Moon. Using many cross references (see video) it was deduced that this could be a solar eclipse but with a blood red moon blocking the sun and the sky would be dark during the day and at night with just a red moon in the sky and nothing else, there would be no difference. This would probably last for at least a day and would be an unmistakable sign fitting the prophecy of "something never seen before and never to be seen again". Something along the similar lines of the Tetrad of Blood Moons we had recently that ALL fell on Jewish Holy Days, exactly....to the day! A Fig Tree is mentioned here and the Parable of the Fig Tree mentioned in Matthew 24:32-34 I think is particularly relevant.

Verse 14
14. And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.

Verse 14. Every mountain was moved out of their places is referencing a pole shift or earth axis tilt shift which would redistribute the seas and land masses across the planet to something completely different to what we know today. This is cross referenced by other Prophets (see video)

Verses 15-17
15. And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
16. And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
17. For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

Verses 15-17 Refers to the upper echelons of society including political and military leaders, top financial and businessman, military leaders, A lister celebs who will hide themselves in pre prepared bunkers knowing that this was coming, but when this day actually arrives they realise there is nowhere to run and nowhere to hide.

Has this seal been opened yet? These events have yet to occur so it is safe to say that this seal has not been opened YET.

Summary.
This is just one of the Seven Seals of Revelation, the final one that follows is the Seventh Seal which will be "Silence in Heaven for about Half an Hour" the prophecy is that precise.

Revelation 8:1
1. And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.

The previous Seal, the Fifth is concerning the Martyring of Christians (video and article soon) and follows the first Four Seals of Revelation which are the Four Horseman of the Apocalypse. A video covering the Fourth Seal or Fourth Horseman goes into greater detail on that topic listed below under Recommended Videos.

This Sixth Seal some say could herald and be the marking of a Rapture Point or Window to follow, if you subscribe to the Pre Tribulation Rapture theory, which again is something that starts massive and heated debate. As mentioned in the video, Four of the Seals in my opinion could already be opened and possibly the fifth is being opened (rising Martyrdom and Christian Persecution around the Globe). The seals are more negative forces gradually released onto the earth rather than flick of the light switch events, although the Sixth Seal is more in tune and has more in common with the following 7 Judgements called The Trumpets which again are more definite in nature and again have that Biblical unmistakable quality about them.

Can the 6th Seal be predicted say with Astronomical Software or NASA style equipment? There is a solar eclipse in the US in August 2017 and a Penumbral lunar eclipse on February 10-11 2017 but that will not be a Blood Red Moon. Even if it was, they are on completely different ends of the year, reading the scripture for what it is, they would need to be pretty much the same time which in astronomical terms is difficult to pull off. This event I have a strong feeling will be a "Star of Bethlehem" event, one never seen been before in the Cosmos and one that will confound astrologers, astronomers and scientists alike and will be a tricky one to predict but August this year does look interesting.These are all just my views and opinions.

As Jesus stated as mentioned in Matthew 24 regardless of who he was addressing:

Matthew 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

The Coming Pole Shift. What is causing it and Bible Prophecy?

There is no actual reference to an Earth Axis Shift or Pole Shift in the Bible using those words, just like the Rapture, but dig deeper and it is mentioned a number of times both in the Old Testament and the New Testament including the Book of Revelation. This article goes into detail on the Bible Prophecy that predicts this event, what could or will happen and more to the point what is actually causing this change in our earth. Is it an external factor, internal or both?

We are living in strange times and strange events are happening all around us at an increasing rate of knots. Strange weather, increasing and swarming volcanic eruptions, the recent M8.0 earthquake the first in a year, tornado swarms, more intense hurricanes, snow in places that normally don't get snow, extreme flooding and mudslides and these strange mass animal deaths with birds, mammals, reptiles and creatures of the sea including particularly whales and dolphins just dropping dead or beaching themselves with no apparent cause for death.

The Coming Magnetic Pole Shift and Earth Axis Tilt mentioned in Bible Prophecy? from The Twelve Gates



Scientific explanations are wide ranging with the following being the most popular:
1. De oxygenation of the sea. Doesn't explain birds falling out of the sky and land animals in their thousands dying.
2. El Nino affecting plankton and their breeding cycle, the first part of the food chain in the oceans. Doesn't explain birds falling out of the sky and land animals in their thousands dying.
3. The Fukushima disaster in Japan may have poisoned the seas. Possibly locally, but globally is questionable and again what about birds and land animals?
4. Disease. Autopsy on the animals in question doesn't seem to produce any possible clues to the reason of death
5. Military sonar affecting the navigation of whales and dolphins. Sonar has been around since the First World War in prototype form, so why all of the sudden are whales and dolphins beaching themselves en mass?
6. Extreme weather and strong winds affecting migratory birds. Strong winds are nothing new and it doesn't explain birds dropping out of the sky on a perfectly calm day. Strong winds have been around since the dawn of time and birds are quite capable of discerning when it's safe to fly and when not.
7. Increased hurricanes and tornadoes and extreme flooding were a result of El Nino and Global Warming. Maybe..... but El Nino doesn't explain the increase in volcanic activity and earthquakes we are seeing and cracks in the earth appearing and the massive increase in sinkholes.
and finally
8. The Earth's magnetic shield and North Pole are changing or shifting and could be affecting the earth's axis tilt?

The Pole Shift or Earth Axis Tilt Analysis
This is where things start to get interesting. BP Earthwatch produced a fascinating video the other day about the Pole Shift/Earth Axis Tilt and what is happening inside our earth that is starting to manifest itself in the position of the North Pole and the Earth's axis.



Now here's some interesting facts. About 50 animal species, ranging from birds and mammals to reptiles and insects, use the Earth's magnetic field for navigation this includes birds including pigeons, sea turtles, bats and bees, dolphins and whales who may get confused if their is a change in the earths magnetic field. They seem to use the magnetic field for navigation purposes, but scientists are still unsure of how this works. Could this explain the bizarre animal deaths and beaching of whales and dolphins in large numbers in recent years?

The Inuits?
Which brings us to a remote tribe called The Inuits who are in North America and Canada and Greenland. The elders still use primitive techniques for hunting, navigation and other such activities. The Elders of this remote tribe have noticed that the sky has changed in recent years and the sun is not setting where it used to in the various season positions. They say that it's not global warming or El Nino that is causing the strange weather we are experiencing, a polar shift is happening and happening now

Pole Shits or Reversals have happened in the past but normally take many thousands of years. Assuming that a reversal takes a number of thousand years we can not be far off from major, major events happening due to this. Magnetiism not only affects animal behaviour but ultimately can affect technology and human behaviour as well and can also produce illnesses.

The Magnetic Field Decay
The earth is surrounded by a magnetic field that protects living things from solar radiation. Without it, life could not exist. Scientists have been surprised to discover that the magnetic field is quickly wearing down. At the current rate, the field and thus the earth could be no older than 20,000 years old. Several measurements confirm this decay. Since measuring began in 1845, the total energy stored in the earth’s magnetic field has been decaying at a rate of 5% per century.

So what is causing this magnetic pole shift? BP Earthwatch and others seem to think it is something internal in the earth that is changing the axis and pole position. Others say that this mysterious Planet X, Planet 9 or Nibiru which is approaching our solar system is affecting the earths magnetism, poles and axis?

Either way could this pole flip, pole shift actually explain the multitude of strange things going on with our planet including animals, weather, and earthquake and volcanic activity?

What would be the symptoms of a Pole Shift Axis Tilt Shift?
10 signs and possibly more would occur if there was even a mild Pole Shift or Earth Axis Tilt
1. earth weather pattern changes. Areas that are arrid would become wetter. Areas that are wet would become arrid
2. increased Tsumamis as a result of 3 below
3. increased earthquake activity and swarming including away from the ring of fire
4. More violent tornadoes,
5. Higher Intensity Hurricanes and more of them
6. Extreme flooding especially in areas not known for extreme flooding
7. Associated Mudslides
8. Increased Volcanic activity, swarming and eruptions
9. Melting polar ice cap
10. Jet Stream Shift

What have we been seeing in recent years? All of the above!

What does the Bible have to say?
The famous Bible quote about an Earth Axis Tilt/Pole Shift is when Joshua commands the Sun and Moon to stay still via God so that it gave him more time to win the current battle he was in. Some scientists say the actual event was a solar eclipse but studying the Bible verse below the sun and moon were in different locations. Bible scholars agree that the earth continued rotating around the sun but the axis or pole shift compensated for that rotation for one day to make the sun and moon appear motionless in the sky for A DAY.

Joshua 10:12-14
12. Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon.
13. And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.
14. And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the LORD hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the LORD fought for Israel.

The other famous Bible quote is from the equally famous Prophet Isaiah who describes the earth reeling like a drunkard

Isaiah 24:18-20
18. And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for the windows from on high are open, and the foundations of the earth do shake.
19. The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly.
20. The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again.

Another Bible quote from Revelation that forms part of the opening of the Sixth Seal goes into more detail on what would actually happen if a pole flip occurred.

Revelation 6:13-14
13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.

Cross Reference 13
Luke 21:25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;

Cross Reference 14
2Pet 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up

Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof.

SUMMARY
Science can manage to come up with some amazing theories and explanations for the strange things that are going on in our world at present but for me the jigsaw pieces don't seem to fit. The only one that does fit is the Pole or Magnetic Shift that is mentioned in the Bible where in Revelation 6:13-14 it states quite clearly that the land masses will change and will be moved along with the seas. If in fact animals are being affected by this current mild Pole Shift, what does the future hold for us humans? Whether this is all being caused by the mysterious Planet X, Nibiru approach remains to be seen.
