Seals One through Five have been opened.
They have been open for a very long time.
We are waiting for the fulfillment of
Seal Five before the breaking of Seal Six.
There has always been war somewhere on this planet, revolutions and rumors of war. There has always been sickness, disease, food shortages and famines. And there have always been earthquakes along the fault lines and elsewhere. In this modern age we are more aware of their occurrences. There has always been the rich and the poor. Believers have always been persecuted, especially since Yahshua came on the scene. Yet the number of Set Apart believers to be killed has yet been reached. When this happens, then Seal Six will be opened.
Yes, we are in the time Yahshua called The Beginning of Sorrows. As each year passes these labor pains increase. All the things that The Son spoke of must happen and are happening, but it's not the end, yet.
Then we will be hated, delivered to afflictions and killed because we believe in Y'shua, Son of Elohim. Many stumble, hate each other and will report 'believers' to the authorities to save their own lives (betray one another). Many false prophets arise and deceive many. Because of the spread of wickedness, lawlessness, the love of many grows cold. BUT whoever has patience until the end, he will have life. And this Good News of the Kingdom will be preached in all the world as a testimony to all the nations - then the end will come.
Here is the list of Seals 1 through 5, and noted how they relate to what Yahshua said would be the signs pointing to his return and the end of life as we know it:
Seal #1
White horse being ridden by one who goes out to conquer (Wars and rumors of war)
Seal #2
Rider of the red horse carrying a great sword, takes peace from the earth causing people kill one another (Nations and kingdoms will rise up against each other, fight each other.)
Seal #3
The rider of the black horse carries a balance, the price of food goes up and the oil wine (luxury items) are protected. (There will be famine, food shortages)
Seal #4
Pale horse whose rider is Death and is followed by the grave. He has authority over a quarter of the world's population to kill by wars, famine, death and wild beasts. (plagues, diseases and earthquakes in various places)
Seal #5
Under the altar are seen the souls of them who were slain on account of the Word of Elohim and on account of the testimony to the Lamb which was with them. They cry out asking YHWH how much longer will it take before He judges and avenges their blood. He tells them to be quiet yet a little while until the consummation of their fellow servants and Brothers who were to be killed as they had been. (we will be hated, delivered to afflictions and killed because we believe in the Son of Elohim. Many stumble, hate each other and will report 'believers' to the authorities to save their own lives [betray one another]. Many false prophets arise and deceive many. Because of the spread of wickedness, lawlessness, the love of many grows cold)
The opening of the sixth seal causes a great earthquake and the sun to look black like sackcloth and the whole moon became like blood. And the stars of heaven fell on the earth as a fig tree casts its unripe figs. The heavens separate as a scroll is rolled up and all mountains and islands were moved out of their places. All the kings, nobles and captains, rich men, men of valor and every servant and free man hide for they know the day of their wrath is come and who is able to stand?
Where else do we read of the sun becoming dark and moon darkened looking like blood?
Joel 2:31- The sun shall be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the great and awesome day of Yahweh comes.
Isaiah 13:10- For the stars of heaven and their constellations will not flash forth their light; The sun will be dark when it rises and the moon will not shed its light.
Acts 2:20- ... the sun will be changed into darkness and the moon into blood before the coming of the great and awesome day of Master YHWH
These verses all tie in with the opening of that sixth seal and point toward Judgment Day, the day of Yah's Wrath, which is yet to happen.
It is still during this 6th Seal time frame that the four angels/Messengers held the four winds and another Messenger had the seal of Elohim to seal His servants upon their foreheads - 144,000 = 12,000 from each of the 12 tribes of Israel = the first fruits of the harvest of the earth. There many preparations made before the opening of Seal 7 which triggers the 7 Shofars Event. It's not the end, yet.
From these accounts written in Scriptures, as of this date, Seal Six has yet to be broken. There will be no mistaking the signs when it is opened.
I'd like to point something out. Just because someone claims to be a 'christian' does not make them a 'believer' and this is the same example we read of in Revelation, that there are Jews who call themselves "Jew" but they are not, they are of the synagogue of Satan. Yahweh wants us to be Set Apart because He is Set Apart. When we choose to follow the Way, the Teachings, the Rules and Laws of our Creator we find ourselves on His Path of Righteousness. We get strange looks from friends and family. We get accused of 'going Jew' when in truth we are simply obeying the Instructions of Yahweh Elohim, something even today's "Jews" don't do. He was never about religions, church, denominations and other traditions that cause division. Once we start reading Scriptures for ourselves we realize His plan is for all creation and that includes all humanity.
