THE FINAL THREE & ONE-HALF YEARS

This chapter will address the sequence of events which will
unfold during the final three and one-half years of man’s self-rule
on earth. These events are not pleasant to read about because they
are catastrophic beyond belief. These events will begin when the
Seventh Seal is opened.

We have arrived at one of the most fearful moments in time
that is spoken about in the Word of God. It is a time like no
other. God said that there has never been a time like this, nor ever
will be again. It is a time that will teach some of the greatest
lessons of life to all mankind. God has determined that the
lessons from this time are to be indelibly etched into the minds of
all who have ever lived.

The magnitude of this end-time destruction is very unpleasant
to contemplate. It is difficult to write about, and it will be
difficult to read. However, you need to see this time for what it
is, as unpleasant as it is; then you can better understand the
deeper reasons “why” such things are going to be allowed by
God, which is the subject of the following chapter.
The next chapter will explain “why” this end-time of
worldwide destruction has to occur the way in which God has
revealed.

Opening the Seventh Seal

When Jesus Christ opens the Seventh Seal of Revelation, God
declares that the final three and one-half years of great tribulation
will begin, and man’s self-rule will be brought to an end. Satan’s
influence and power over man will also be brought to an end at
this time. He will not be allowed to have any influence over man
for nearly 1,000 years, after which time, he will be allowed to do
so once again for one final, very short period of time.
Once the Seventh Seal is opened, the first of Seven Trumpets
will be blown. Each Trumpet will announce a specific phase of
great tribulation on the earth. The first four trumpets will
proclaim the demise of the United States and her closest allies.
All of this will be explained in this chapter.

The final sequence of events that leads up to the opening of
the Seventh Seal needs to be briefly reviewed. By the time this
final seal is opened, all 144,000 whom God has called over six
millennia will be fully trained to rule in His Kingdom. This
Kingdom will be established when Jesus Christ returns with the
144,000 on the last day of the final three and one-half years of
man’s self-rule. The remaining few, who were yet to be added to
this total count of 144,000, and are alive at this end-time, will be
sealed (completed their training) by the time this last seal is opened.
This final sealing will occur during the time of the Sixth Seal.

During the Sixth Seal, all Seven Thunders will be getting
progressively louder. Before the Seventh (and final) Seal is
opened, the Seven Thunders will become so pronounced that the
validity of everything written about them in the previous chapter
should roar loudly in the ears of anyone who is willing to admit
the truth. But even then, many still will prefer to believe a lie!

They still will prefer to be falsely soothed by denying reality and
the truth.

Also, by this moment in time, there will be a strong, rapidly
growing recognition within the United States that I am who I say
I am—one of God’s end-time witnesses and His prophet. This
Sixth Thunder will continue to grow much louder through this
final three and one-half years.

The First Four Trumpets

The first four trumpet blasts will announce four powerfully
destructive events that will bring about the total collapse of
the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia,
New Zealand, and some countries of Western Europe. The
direct effect of all four events is first and foremost upon the
United States.

The events, declared by these first four trumpets, are a
prophetic fulfillment of the symbolism contained in the events of
9-11, when the World Trade Towers and the Pentagon were
struck by terrorism. It is during the time of the first four trumpets
when the symbolism of 9-11 is accomplished; the economy,
government and military might of the greatest nation on earth is
struck a fatal blow.

The chain reaction, which will follow, is the very thing that
will lead immediately into World War III. It will be the last war
that mankind will ever fight! Before this final three and one-half
years comes to a complete end, all military forces around the
world will have been destroyed, every economy will be
decimated, several billion people will have died, and vast
destruction will cover every part of the earth.
