Here's my thought on the 6th seal. The 6th seal is Gog/Magog battle. There are many resemblance between Revelation 6:12-17 and Ezekiel 38:19-23. Revelation 6:12 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; John and Ezekiel both saw a great shaking. Revelation 6:13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, Stars of heaven, hailstones, and brimstone, are missiles and meteorites being used during Gog/Magog battle. Revelation 6:15 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; Mountains shall be thrown down, all the men shall hide themselves in the rocks of mountains. Revelation 6:17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand? They shall realize it's God's wrath against them. Who shall be able to stand? And they shall know that Yahweh is the LORD. Yahweh shall reveal himself during the battle of Gog/Magog. This is also the great day of wrath from Yahweh when he makes himself known to the world. One more note. Revelation 6:14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; This is a mushroom cloud caused by a nuclear explosion. John has no knowledge of modern day weapons. This is the best he could describe regarding a nuclear explosion. Immediately after the 6th seal which is the battle of Gog/Magog, God commands the wind to stop through the 4 angels (Revelation 7:1 -2). Why? It is because during the battle of Gog/Magog, nuclear weapons have been used. God commands the wind to stop so that this nuclear cloud and contamination cannot be spread all over the places and hurt the earth, seas, and the tree. The sealing of 144,000 Jews ( Revelation 7:3-8 ) begins after 6th seal (Revelation 6:12-17 ). It is because the Jews have just witnessed Gog/Magog battle in the 6th seal. They saw Yahweh come to their protection, and realize God does exist. They turn from secular into believing God. This is why God send angels to seal them. If I break down the seals events using my timeline for illustration, this may help readers to understand events better. From seal 1 to seal 6, it only takes six months for them to be fulfilled. I gonna use my timeline to explain my view. May/June 2020 War breaks out between Israel and the three shepherds. God cuts them off in one month. This takes us to July.. July 2020 Rapture Immediately after rapture, Anti Christ appears on the world stage. This is seal 1. The world shall plunge into chaos and confusion after hundreds millions of Christians are gone. Peace shall be taken away from earth. Kingdoms against kingdoms, nation against nations. This is seal 2. Rapture shall also cause worldwide economic collapse. Stock market plunges. People don't trust their currency anymore. Countries which have high debt ratio shall print money at a speed unseen. Which leads to hyperinflation. A daily wage can only buy a loaf of bread. This is seal 3. Death shall follow 1/4 of the earth, due to wars in seal 2, famine in seal 3. This is seal 4. All these 4 seals shall take place in the summer of 2020. Seal 5 is a question from martyred saints who are killed because of their witness to Jesus Christ during the church era. Jesus tells them to be patient for a little while, until more of their fellow servants are killed, and fulfilled. Seeing US and Europe crippled by the rapture, Russia, together with Iran and Turkey launch a sudden attack on Israel. This is seal 6. This event shall take place in August 2020, before the autumn rain arrives in November. Joel 2:20 But I will remove far off from you the northern army, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the east sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost sea, and his stink shall come up, and his ill savour shall come up, because he hath done great things. Joel 2:20 is Gog/Magog. The northern army is the coalition of Russia, Iran and Turkey. God drives the leader "him" of this northern army toward the east sea. East sea is the Dead sea. it is the same place God has prophesied the burial place for Gog. Ezekiel 39:11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call it The valley of Hamongog. The valley of Hamongog is situated on the east of Dead sea. Joel 2:23 gives us the timing of this Gog/Magog battle. Joel 2:23 Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month. After God fends off this Gog/Magog coalition, God shall send Israelis the former rain which is autumn rain, and the latter rain spring rain. Autumn rains always begins in November in Israel. This shall place the timing of Gog/Magog before the autumn rain arrives in November. This is why I place Gog/Magog and the 6th seal in August 2020. Because God intervenes during Gog/Magog battle, this battle shall be short and decisive. It shouldn't last more then few months. November 2020 The battle of Gog/Magog is ended. Autumn rain arrives. Sealing of 144,000 Jews begins ( Revelation 7:4-8 ). After the Jews witness Yahweh came to their protection during Gog/Magog, they realize God does exist. They turn from secular into believing God. God sends angels to seal them. A note here. Before this sealing of 144,000, God sends four angels to command the wind not to spread ( Revelation 7:1-3 ). It is because nuclear weapons and missiles have been used during the 6th seal Gog/Magog. The wind shall carry nuclear contamination. God commands the four winds not to spread so that it cannot kills trees, hurt the earth or sea.
