“Day of the Lord Eve”

By Laura Pelliton; April 7, 2018

 “Day of The Lord Eve” referring to sorrow and wonders that must be increased before “The Day of The Lord” (Jesus’ second return) has now become clear. According to John, the author of the book “Revelations”, after Jesus-Christ was resurrected and went back to heaven, He appeared to him in visions and revealed many things that must be occurring before He returns to establish His kingdom on earth. Among those things are seven dramatic events written by God the Father in a secret book tightly closed with seven seals. They were set to be occurred one after another at the end of this age into seven eras, or each time a seal is lifting. The images of strength and power fill into each lifted seals showing God’s perfect plan designing to test and grow human faith through sorrow, suffering, death, distortion, mistrust, division; and to bring judgment to people who failed those tests; but most importantly to encourage the repentance of sins before the fulfillment of the seven seals (judgment of the world), and to bring redemption and salvation to His creation. These events were also revealed to the disciples by Jesus in Matthew 24. It’s clear now, at least five of those seals have already fulfilled.

It is believed that the content of the first seal has been fulfilled when God came down in human form (the birth of Jesus) to “conquer the world”; and made disciples to continuing the spread of His gospel. John explains what he saw when the first seal was opened, that an angel handing power to a white horse with a “bow” – a metaphor for warrior – to conquer the world – another metaphor for the power of salvation that come to spread. “Bow” is also defined as an instrument, or a sickle use for gardening and harvesting. A crown was given unto Him – “crown” – a metaphor for superiority/super-power; only Jesus fits that superiority; He is the King of kings wearing the crown. Satan is wicked/criminal. Therefore, he does not deserved to wear crown, which is always given as reward to whom that accomplished great things.

The lifting of the second seal gave power to a man on a “red horse”- another metaphor for turmoil – “to take peace from the nations and that they should kill one another”. Obviously, wars and rumors of wars are common news; nations are playing deadly political games by provoking one another. Sorrow and mourning have grown significantly in recent years accompanied by constant fear of how they are going to continue affecting people’s lives. In some states right now, government group and opponents are not only killing each other, but taking lives of innocent children as well.

“Black horse” showing when the third seal is lifted symbolizes famine and economic fall down that the world will experiencing due to political clashes, power greed, corruption/immorality, and severe natural disasters. According to news from around the world, these predicted signs have been fulfilling in many areas of the world.

The angel of the fourth seal gave power to a “pale horse” to bring “Hell” and “Death” – metaphors for take away lives with weapons and by natural death – and cause famine to the fourth part of the world. For example, for the past decade criminals have been engaging freely in schools’ shootings and explosive devices; and no one seems to have a concrete answer to why these individuals are committing such horrible crimes, neither to a successful strategy to stop them; illegal drugs and substance abuse are one of the common death threats for this age, etc…

The lifted of the fifth seal showed the “Souls” of the prophets, the saints or believers who were killed for the testimony of their faith during the opening of the four seals. They were pleaded for vengeance, but were told to wait for many other Christians that are going to be persecuted and killed by the beast during the years of tribulation. Also, if we understand Joel 2:28-31, and Rev.6: 12-17; 7:2-17 those who made peace with Jesus in this life will not be here to be persecuted by the beast, and experienced the fulfillment of the sixth seal; because they will be standing before the throne of the living God.

The “Day of the Lord Eve” concludes with the fulfillment of the fifth seal; The events that occurred during the opening of the first five seals was used to bringing salvation to people of this current world, to testing and increasing faith in Jesus as the Son of God, to encouraging repentance of sins; and most importantly to offering the gift of redemption by faith. It is clear now that the whole events that were predicted in the first five seals have already occurred. Now, we are living in a time calls “exemption” (or favor) before the fulfillment of the sixth and seventh seals. God allows this extension because He doesn’t want anyone to perish. However, this opportunity is about to be over. If anyone is willing to escape the tribulation event and the wrath of God, the time to accept Jesus is now. Salvation is offering to everyone through Jesus-Christ – accept it or perish; because the next events could be the departure of those who accepted him, and the persecution of those who didn’t by the beast; the choice is yours!
