THE BOOK SEALED WITH SEVEN SEALS: Revelation
AN IMPORTANT INTRODUCTION
Within the Book of Revelation, specifically in chapter five, the concept of the Seven Seals is introduced. In this chapter, God entrusts Jesus with a book sealed with seven seals, acknowledging Jesus’ victory over the cross. The sealed book, given to John the revelator by Jesus himself, contained visions that John meticulously recorded. When we look at the events happening today in the light of Jesus Christ’s teachings, it becomes clearer that his return is drawing closer. Jesus Christ, after gaining this right, bestowed it upon John, who subsequently documented it in his writings. John’s writings went beyond a simple recording of what he witnessed. He captured the essence of his experiences in his writing. In his mind’s eye, he visualized them as though they were truly present. The occurrences seemed incredibly authentic to him, nearly as though he had lived through them. The knowledge contained within the Book of Revelation has been granted to us as a blessing. Through his crucifixion, Jesus gained the privilege of knowing the day and hour of his return. Our shared faith can be strengthened by recognizing the amazing events happening in the world today that relate to biblical prophecies.
THE BOOK SEALED WITH SEVEN SEALS
WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
Understanding the seven seals is vital for comprehending the timing of future events. Most of the world associates the seventh seals with the end times. Of all the seals, only the sixth and seventh hold significance for the unfolding events of the end times.
There are seven seals in the Book of Revelation.
Revelation Chapters 6 & 7 covers the first six seals. The bulk of the book, from chapter seven onwards, concentrates on the 7th seal and the period that precedes Jesus’ return. While the chapters embrace a variety of subjects, they also address themes related to the divine and the earthly world and not necessarily all about the 7th seal.
The seven seals are a mysterious and complex concept that has fascinated people for centuries, but what is their true meaning? This information will help you comprehend the 7 seals.
Question: What are we to understand by the book which John saw, which was sealed on the back with seven seals? [D&C 77:6]
Answer: We are to understand that it contains the revealed will, mysteries, and works of God; the hidden things of his economy concerning this earth during the seven thousand years of its continuance, or its temporal existence.
Question: What are we to understand by the seven seals with which it was sealed? [D&C 77:7]
Answer: We are to understand that the first seal contains the things of the first thousand years, and the second also of the second thousand years, and so on until the seventh.
Revelation Chapter 6:
The Main Heading: Christ opens the six seals, and John sees the events therein—In the fifth seal, he sees the Christian martyrs; and in the sixth, he sees the signs of the times.
My interest in prophecy has led me to uncover a significant timeline that I am eager to share with you. Prepare to be astounded, for I am about to reveal a truly remarkable discovery that has left me in awe.
But first, let’s examine the timeline of each seal, from beginning to end.
THE SEVEN SEALS.
We will cover the start and end dates, as well as upcoming events. | Revelation Chapter 6
THE 1ST SEAL - Start (Years from) 3967 B.C. to 2967 B.C.
- Revelation 6:1,2
1 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were, the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.
2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer. [Enoch Ministered]
NOTES: THE FIRST SEAL
White horse = Victory
Bow = Warfare
Crown = Conqueror
THE 2ND SEAL - Start (Years from) 2967 B.C. to 1967 B.C.
- Revelation 6:3,4
3 And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.
4 And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.
[War Raged]THE 3RD SEAL - Start (Years from) 1967 B.C. to 967 B.C.
- Revelation 6:5,6
5 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.
6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine. [Famine Stalked The Earth]
THE 4TH SEAL - Start (Years from) 967 B.C. to 33 A.D.
- Revelation 6:7,8
7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth. [Death, Hell, War, Famine]
THE 5TH SEAL - Start (Years from) 33 A.D. to 1033 A.D.
- Revelation 6:9-11
9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellow-servants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled. [Christian’s Martyrs Slain] Note: Jesus put to death and when he arose, this started the 5th seal.
THE 6TH SEAL - Start (Years from) 1033 A.D. to 2033 A.D.
- Revelation 6:12-17
[The Sign of the Times is a powerful earthquake, meteors]
12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
As part of the sixth seal, read chapter revelation chapter 7.
John also sees in the sixth seal the Restoration of the gospel, the sealing of the 144,000, and the hosts of the exalted from all nations.
THE 7TH SEAL - Start (Years from) 2033 A.D. to 3033 A.D.

Revelation 8
John sees fire and desolation poured out during the seventh seal and preceding the Second Coming.
1 And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.
2 And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.

The Lord’s second coming is marked by the 7th seal, which lasts for a thousand years. We refer to it as the millennium. This signifies the beginning of the seven trumpets. Explore the timeline to discover the sequence of events related to the seven trumpets.
UNDERSTANDING A HUGE EXTRORDINARY TIME LINE
Before I get to your treat, there’s something I want to make clear. It will be 8000 years from the first seal’s opening until the earth’s end. The first seven seals span a vast expanse of time, covering 7,000 years.
You might wonder how I arrived at the figure of 8,000 years. In the holy bible, there is a reference to a brief season that will come after the 7000 years. It’s believed that this short season, lasting 1000 years, will be succeeded by a new heaven and a new earth.
Revelation 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
So what is the timeline- did you catch it? Although incredible, this represents just one of the three timelines I display.
READY?
The moment Jesus died on the cross and was resurrected marked the beginning of the 5th seal.
The timeline clearly marks the year 33 A.D., a year of great historical importance.
-
You should understand that the 5th seal opened in the year 33 A.D. The precise instant when Jesus rose from the dead.
We learned each seal is 1000 years. Correct?
Ok, take the year 33 and add another 1000 years and we have the year 1033. Understand?
With the year now 1033 A.D., the time we enter it’s the beginning of the 6th seal.
If we add 1000 years to the year 1033, we arrive in the year 2033 A.D. and the seventh seal begins.
A multitude of events will take place at this point. The beginning of the Seventh Seal sees these events unfold.
- The opening of the 7th seal.
- The 1st of seven trumpets sound
- The First Resurrection (rapture)
What evidence links the 5th seal to Jesus’ resurrection?
Sunday, April 11th, 33 AD
Abinadi and Alma both give the mid-point of Earth’s existence as the resurrection of Jesus:
Everything is divided into half before Christ’s resurrection and half after Christ’s resurrection; this means that there were 4000 years from the Fall of Adam to the resurrection of Jesus. Then there will be 4000 years from the resurrection of Jesus to the end of the Earth.
This means that the exact day that the 5th Seal was opened was on Sunday, April 11th, 33 AD. It also means that the 7th Seal will open on Sunday, April 17th, 2033, AD. (easter)
I’d say this is pretty awesome to have this information, but it is only correct if the calendar over the years is correct. The critical fact is that it fits rather well. If it’s off, it won’t be by much.
The 7th thousand years
There are seven thousand years of the Earth’s temporal existence, but there are eight thousand years total. Therefore, the Great Millennium is not counted as part of the temporal existence because “time is no longer” Rev. 10:6, and it will be like the endless or eternal state that existed before the Fall.
I do feel it is essential that I clarify something. The seven seals represent the past, present, and future events. There are seven thousand years of the Earth’s temporal existence; there are 7 seals that cover the seven thousand years, plus a little season. So the seven seals do cover the earth’s existence. Each seal will last 1000 years. We are currently on the sixth seal, and that is coming to an end.
Rev. 10:6 | time no longer
Let us read revelation 10:6
And sware by him that liveth forever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the Earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer.
This should clarify that time is precious, but even more importantly, it underlines the nearness of the first resurrection and the second coming. We absolutely must make sure everyone who needs to hear this information gets it. Despite spending countless hours on my projects and prophecy, I still have much to learn. Being human, I’m bound to make mistakes, even though I’m confident in my work. I am human and, based on my knowledge; I believe this information is right. The amazing answer to my prayer has fueled my desire to warn everyone that the Lord is coming soon, and I share this message with anyone who will listen. Being part of the First Resurrection means there are less than 10 years remaining. Are you prepared?
Let’s pray daily so that we are not surprised. Starting on January 20th, 2025, I am starting a channel on YouTube and Rumble.com.

Hosea 4:6 – My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
Topic: The book sealed with seven seals. Covers 3967 B.C. to 3033 A.D.

Revelation 10:5-6 says,
“And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven, And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer” (KJV)
