There are many interpretations of the seven seals, trumpets, and vials (bowls).
This PDF image is one interpretation.
Try reading the Seals, Trumpets, and Vials of the book of Revelation in this order: Bottom left to bottom right and so on.
Over the years I've listened to everyone from clergy to laymen explain how these Gospel accounts do not agree with each other. When examined closely The Holy Bible is in perfect agreement with itself. Minor errors may exist in the translations of various words and phrases but these can be easily reconciled.
Events at Jesus Tomb (pdf)
DownloadThere has been much debate over the centuries regarding just what Peter and that other disciple saw when they peered into Jesus tomb that Sunday morning.
They had no doubt Jesus had resurrected from the dead.
If we think about those things which occurred at Jesus burial we can then understand what they saw after His resurrection.
Joseph of Arimathaea and Nicodemus wrapped Jesus' body in fine linen with a hundred pounds of a mixture of Myrrh and aloes.
(John 19:38-42)
Myrrh is a tree sap. The fine linen strips were soaked in the mixture of Myrrh and aloes
and then wrapped around Jesus' body. This quickly dried creating a hard shell
around His body. A shroud was also draped over this as was the tradition:
( Genesis 50:26 “So Joseph died, being an hundred and ten years old:
and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.”
When Jesus resurrected, His body transfigured into
His incorruptible body which is capable of
passing through material objects.
The hard linen shell would have remained intact as Jesus' transfigured body
passed through it leaving His image embossed on the shroud.
The Solar Calendar vs Other Calendars
This is a presentation of the Annual Calendar I believe The LORD issued in
Exodus 12:1-2; 13:4
As with other calendars the Solar calendar can be arranged day by day and month by month but here it is represented by a pie chart. The first day of the year is 1 Abib which is the Spring Equinox.

Around 721 BC The House of Israel was taken into captivity by the Assyrian Empire and foreigners were transplanted in their homeland: Samaria. Many years later when the Assyrian Empire ceased to exist, the People of The House of Israel were no longer restrained. A tenth part of The House of Israel returned to Samaria (Amos 5:3) leaving ninety percent of the House of Israel to become a nomadic nation who went by the names: Samarian, Samaritan, Sarmatian... History records them being a pain in the side of the Medo-Persaian Empire which drove them into the Caucasus Mountains and eventually all the way to Europe where they are recorded raiding Gaul territory. From there the House of Israel was driven into Northern Europe around 100 AD. To my surprise you will find the names of the ten tribes of the House of Israel seeded across Northern Europe and the British Isles. Archaic names and titles that have been changing subtly in spelling and pronunciation as they were handed down through the generations. They have now been sifted through the nations of Earth.
(Derived from the Christian Bible, the historical writings of Herodotus and Josephus, and the historical records of the Roman Empire published on the internet as well as many European government and private websites. Dr Gene Scott spent many decades under the Jesus Saves sign in Los Angeles researching historical texts regarding the migrations of the People of Israel.)
" I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of
the house of Israel.”
Jesus Christ (Matthew 15:24)
Israel blessed Joseph and his two sons Manasseh and Ephraim.
(Genesis 48:19)
Israel gave Ephraim the birthright blessing even though Manasseh was born first.
KJV translation for Israel's blessings :
"He (Manasseh) also shall become a people, and he also shall be great: but truly his younger brother (Ephraim) shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations."
Actual translation:
"He (Manasseh) also shall become a people, and he also shall be great: but truly his younger brother (Ephraim) shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become the fullness of the nations."
Manasseh's blessing was that Manasseh will be great.
Great Britain is first born just as Manasseh was.
U.S.A. is second born just as Ephraim was.
Ephraim's blessing was that Ephraim will be greater.
The U.S.A. is greater than Great Britain.
The U.S.A. HAS become the fullness of the nations.
The House of Israel led by the 1/2 tribe of Ephraim ended up at the helm of the most powerful nation on Earth.
The people of the United States of America have shown the world what living their Christian faith will result in:
Peace through strength and prosperity.
Yes, Ephraim governs the United States of America.
The United States of America is the sanctuary spoken of in Revelation 12:14.
__________________________
2500 years ago the House of Judah was judged
and sentenced to 70 years in Babylon (Jeremiah 25:11).
"The days of our years are threescore years and ten (70);
and if by reason of strength they are fourscore years
yet their span is but trouble and sorrow . . ."
Moses (Psalm 90:9 - 10)
Biblically seventy symbolizes completeness and Divine order which leads me to believe the reverse can occur as well.
The result expected from the 70 year Babylonian captivity was spiritual purification.
What if that process was reversed?
In 1963 The Supreme Court of the United States of America ruled that American Public School students were no longer permited to be taught about Jesus Christ and Christianity or to commonly participate in worshipping America's God
in American Public School class rooms.
70 Year decent into Babylon?
For our sins the People of the United States of America
were sentenced to a 70 year descent into
Babylon (Immorality)!
1963 plus 70 years brings us to 2033 AD.
Jesus ascended into Heaven in 33 AD
33 AD plus 2000 years brings us to 2033 AD
Curious isn't it?
