Eternal Life, Heaven’s Fifth SEAL Saints, Earth’s Seventh SEAL Saints Eternal Life Before the foundation of the world, we in Christ Jesus were chosen by Him (Eph.1:4 below). All who God the Father gave to Christ (Jn.10:29 below), He gave eternal life (Jn.10:28, Jn.17:2 below). Having eternal life, we pass FROM death UNTO life (Jn.5:24 below), never to die (Jn.11:25-26 below). Fifth SEAL We see those who have died in Christ throughout the ages (to that point) in heaven at the Fifth SEAL. These saints are ALL given white robes (Re.6:9-11). BEFORE the opening of the Seventh, and final, SEAL, these same saints who are seen under the altar at the Fifth SEAL are again seen, this time before the throne of God wearing the white robes that were given at the Fifth SEAL. They are a great multitude, which no man can number, of all nations, and kindreds, and peoples, and tongues (Re.7:9). There are three days between the Fifth, Sixth and the Seventh SEALS. At the Fifth SEAL a contingency of heavenly saints will ask a question (Re.6:10). We will know that the question has been asked, and the answer given, when we on earth witness the Sixth SEAL, singular day, appearance of the Lord with power and majesty (Re.6:12-17, 1 Thess.5:2, Acts 2:20, Luke 21:25-27, Matt.24:29-31, Mk.13:24-27, Isa.13:6-11, Jer.30:7, Joel 2:31), the Day of the Lord. Heaven and earth will witness this Sixth SEAL, singular day, event (Re.1:7, Matt.24:31). The given white raiment will be worn as heavenly saints witness the Sixth SEAL event. The heavenly saints remain clothed in these white robes after the Sixth SEAL, as we see them before the throne of God wearing the white robes BEFORE the Seventh, and final, SEAL is opened. Earth’s Seventh SEAL Saints Upon the earth, at the opening of the Seventh, and final, SEAL, saints remain, their prayers ASCENDING up before God (Re.8:3-4). Page 1 of 2

At the Seventh SEAL, seven TRUMPETS are given. The TRUMPETS will, then, BEGIN to sound (Re.8:1-6). The Sixth SEAL appearance of the Lord (Re.6:12-17) and the Seventh TRUMPET ascension (1 Thess.4:16-17) are two separate events. There are seven years between the two. At the Seventh, and final, TRUMPET (1Thess.4:16-17, 1 Cor.15:52, Re.10:7), the ascension, the ENTIRE body of Christ will be in heaven.

Eph.1:4 According as he (Christ) hath CHOSEN US in him BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Jn.5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed FROM death UNTO life. Jn.10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: Jn.10:28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall NEVER perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. Jn.10:29 My Father, which GAVE THEM me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. Jn.11:25-26 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? Jn.17:2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast GIVEN him.
