Section 29 ABOUT THE SEVENTH SEAL

Behind the seventh seal there are the events connected with Coming of the Christ. During its removal in heaven there will be a silence, Rev.8:1. This period of silence proceeds as though "half an hour", that is about 21 months (about a word meaning "hour" in prophetical sense see in section 8, in point «The prophecy of the book of Revelation on church in Smyrna»). Silence in heaven will be for following reasons: 1) at that time war in heaven will already end, and war cries will not be audible; 2) the Satan and his angels at that time in heaven any more will not be, as they will be into the Earth after the overthrow from heaven. Therefore the slander with which he slanders before God against saints, too will stop, Rev.12:10. In the First heaven occupied now (i.e. when these lines were written) by Satan and his angels there will be the silence as, after casting out, there will be nobody, and there will be nobody to talk. 3) On the Earth will pass at that time days of great tribulation which will wound also Christians (when them will betray to death), therefore joyful events about which in heaven could be glad loudly, at that time will not be. 4) On the earth will reign at that time antichrist, therefore the special reasons loudly to be glad (to inhabitants of heaven) too will not be. 5) At that time from the Lord it will be taken away the daily sacrifice, Dan. 8:11. It will be made by « man of sin, the son of perdition who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God will sit in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God», 2Thes.2:4. From now on a sacrifice will be brought to antichrist, sat in the temple under the pretext of God. On the poisoned bait in the form of false "coming" the third part of Christians will peck. It too one of the silence reasons as the sacrifice (i.e. prayer) of these unsteady people in faith will be directed not to God, but to antichrist. As prophet Daniel speaks, «And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he (antichrist) corrupt by flatteries». But the majority of Christians remain faithful to the Lord, as well as it is told further, that «but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits. And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days. Now when they shall fall, they shall be helped with a little help; but many shall cleave to them with flatteries. And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed», Dan.11:32-35. The events specified in given five points will occur before removal of 7th seal. After removal of 7th seal time of test of Christians will end, that is that time of temptation, «which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth», Rev.3:10. The test time is necessary and for purely practical purposes: At that time will come the end of this world*, and it will be necessary to define, who among people living on the Earth 1) can take part in the 1000-year Kingdom of the Christ as the usual inhabitant, Is.65:20; 2) who among people can inherit everlasting life, Luke.20:35, 36; 3) who will worship antichrist and lefts to share his fate, Rev.14:9-11. After removal of 7th seal there will be those signs in the sun, the moon and stars that are mentioned in Mat.24:29. Soon after these signs Coming will be made also.

 The note: *in Bible is not present the doctrine about a century, in sense of 100 years. The bible word of "Age" designates the big time intervals. So, in the Gospel to Matthew, 28:20 (in Russian Bible) we read Jesus words: «and, lo, I am with you in all days till the end of the age». It does not mean at all, that Jesus promised to remain with us till the end of 1st, 2nd or still what be centuries. The Christian era already totals for a long time 2000, and within all these years, of course, Jesus is with us, in the Holy Spirit. However in the Gospel to Luke, 20:34, 35 by a word of "world" it is designated more big a time interval. Here Jesus speaks: « The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage: but they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage ». As is known, people« marry and are given in marriage » still for a long time, since Adam's times, that is already more than 6000 years on end, and « this world » still proceeds, until there will come « that world » (after resurrection from the dead). Meaning told, the author uses a bible word of "Age" with capital letter (not to mix this word with human concept of «century“).
