- 0:33
And now let’s hear more about this week’s talk. This class is by Brother, Steve horn, heart and comes from the watch and bible school. It’s called the key to unlocking the time periods in Revelation. This is a different kind of class for us. This is kind of just a purely purely study class. I found it really interesting though to listen to it is a kind of tackling a very difficult question when you are studying Revelation and trying to understand some of the properties.
- 1:13
Is in there. Basically his whole mission in this class is when do you convert a period of time one time? So multiply it one time or divide it one time. And when do you actually apply a double conversion and when there is one case where you don’t play any conversions to the time period, so there’s a really interesting class that you it seems like it was a special lecture in the evening at the Bible school.
- 1:37
So that gives you some of the context to some of his kind of casual remarks. You mentioned a lot about going to going to bed. Ed, which that was funny. So, enjoy this class. Thank you again for listening. And any suggestions that you send us, I do want to give a special recommendation again to the other many of the other great yourself and podcasts that we have now, including a new one that I kind of discovered called new every morning.
- 2:09
So you can, you can search it by searching new every morning. It is a Hard gasps put together by a group of sisters in Australia, very short a couple times a week meditational been really, really enjoying that the essential Bible studies podcast again. So yeah, if you enjoy ours, there’s many other great shows. Thanks again for listening.
- 2:33
And here is understanding the time periods in Revelation by Brother, Stephen horn, heart. Well, good evening again. Brothers and sisters. Welcome to the bonus class just in preparation for our brother Stevens class. We’ve asked our brother, Phil, if you all, please rise to open with a word of Prayer. This is wanquan Lake Bible School 2018. This is the Monday night bonus class. Our speaker is our brother Stephen horn heart and the topic for tonight’s class is the key to unlocking the time periods of Revelation for the season.
- 3:14
Now there’s one thing I’ll need to say, just before we get started that is this that my noticed on the program with this bone is class. I don’t think to my knowledge. There was any time a logic. Is there, not is this not, so, that’s fantastic. Soy project called and I wrap it up in 15 minutes, that’s it. I’m, I’m within the legal limits of the program Now, with respect to the time periods of the Apocalypse, what I want to do is just have a look at a couple of examples of the time period and give you a key or give you some keys to unlocking those time periods themselves.
- 3:56
So, I’ll just turn this on here and let’s have a look at the introductory slide, okay? The key to unlocking the time periods. Now, what we find in the Book of Revelation is that we have time periods that we Need to either singly convert or we doubly convert or there are no conversions required. In fact, there’s only one time period in the apocalypse where no conversion is required.
- 4:26
Anybody know what that one is? It is indeed. There’s a reason, the three reasons actually, why there is no conversion required for that 1,000 years. What I want to do, first of all is to just have a look at what we mean by single conversion and double conversion. We’ve got a number of examples here, but I want to give you an example that I just will dream up in my head and it will go like this. And this is not an example that you find in the apocalypse. So let’s say for instance, we read in the Book of Revelation, which we wouldn’t because it’s not there. But if In the Book of Revelation that there was this monster that was going around a city and was keeping the occupants in the city for two days.
- 5:14
So, for two days, this monster roamed around the city, and would not allow anybody in or out. Now, if we were to look at that apocalyptically and we would go okay on the basis of a day for a year principle, which we were use to these single conversions and double conversions on the basis of a debut. Brazil, for instance, Genesis 47 verse 9, that Jacob said the days of the years of my life days of the Year’s Day for a year in numbers, 14 and verse 34, the spies went in for 40 days.
- 5:51
It’s spied out the land and therefore Israel would wander in the wilderness one year for each of those A sad day for a year, we know the record in Ezekiel 4 and Verses 4 through 6 is equal would lay on his side. A certain number of days and those years would be attached to each of those days and the quotation in Luke Chapter 13 and verse 32.
- 6:15
They came to Jesus Christ and they said Heritage after you and Jesus said you tell that fox that I must work today and tomorrow and the day thereafter be glorified and he spoke of the three years of his ministry and look. At them as days. So in the Old Testament and in the New Testament we have this principle of a day for a year.
- 6:37
Now, single conversion, what do we mean by this little example? So we’ve got this, hypothetical example of this monster not allowing people in or out of the city. If we were to apply one single conversion on a day for a year principle, how many years with this creature? Be wandering around the city. Who said that?
- 7:02
Because you need to stay back after. on the day for a year principle, this creature would be wandering around the city for to yesterday, of course it correct. So that is our single conversion, two days equals two years. If we were to EE convert that little example, we would then say how many days in to Jewish years. 720. So there are 720 and on a day for a year principle, it would be seven hundred and twenty years. So we have converted once and then we have converted again, we’ve done it double conversion, that make sense. Single conversion or a double conversion, you convert and then you convert again.
- 7:55
The question is, how do we determine when we come to a time period in the apocalypse? When we apply a single conversion and a double conversion or a double conversion. Now, I think there are three criteria that help us to decide. You know, sometimes you might hear Brethren say, oh, that conversion there.
- 8:13
I’ve got that by looking at history and working backwards, I used to think that was okay, but it doesn’t really cut it. I need More a bit more emphasis and a bit more credibility than just looking history and working backwards. So what determines whether it’s a single or a double conversion? Well I think there are three criteria first of all, it must fit the decorum of the symbol who’s not heard of that expression before the decorum of the symbol.
- 8:43
Okay, there’s a few of us that’s taken from Eureka, of course, Thomas at the decorum of the symbol. Decorum is appropriateness of behavior. So we have to Quorum at a table. We have decorum in the meetings. So when we convert the symbol must meet the tecora, the appropriateness of behavior. When we look at this time, period. What helps us also determine whether it’s single or double is the context of the chapter, what is the context all about? And thirdly this, whether we go, single, or double conversion, we must match it against the consistency of indisputable knowns within the chapter.
- 9:28
There are some things in chapters in your pocket where you said that’s Rock. Solid, Ground, that’s immovable there for the time. Period must Fit in with those indisputable knowns with in that chair. So the Quorum of the symbol, the context of the chapter and whether it’s consistent with the indisputable knowings within that chapter, all right. Having said that these are the time periods in the apocalypse. There are 17 of them there.
- 9:55
We don’t have the 1000 years. So you’ve got chapter rate, you’ve got chapter 9, you’ve got chapter 11, you’ve got chapter 12, chapter 13, chapter 14, 17 18, In to the end. Now if we were to have a look at these time periods and say well, which ones are the single conversions. Let’s just blot out the double conversions.
- 10:19
And look at the ones that we have with respect to single conversion. They are so we chapter 9 and verse 55 months, there’s ten, five months, verse 15 of chapter 9. One hour, one day, one month, one year and 42 months 1260 days right through there. Now, you can see that we’ve got with respect to the five months twice, used in chapter 9, we’ve got attached to that, 150 years, and 150 years respectively. Let’s do a quick little run through this one will do another little one, I’ll check my watch, and if it’s too late for me to go any further, I’m going to beat, okay, so we’ll have a look at this first example, brothers and sisters, and the five months and five months out of Revelation, 9 and show you why we singly convert it and how it in fact, It does meet the decorum of the symbol and it does. In fact, meet the consistent knowns within that chapter so let’s just look at chapter 9 in Revelation there on the screen it come down here so I could read that a little bit better. All right, we’ll just come.
- 11:22
He doesn’t matter. You don’t need to see me. So what I’ll do cannot would you mind if I just borrow this? This chair, you weren’t leaning on it. We it’s all mine. Okay, okay, I’ll just huddle down here with a group and we’ll just put myself here. Is that? Alright don’t mind my back there. Now I’ll turn around this one.
- 11:39
It’s okay. Okay. Brothers. This is now. Here we go. Chapter 9. So what we’ve got here is, we’ve got the fifth angel. So what whoa, trumpet is this. For all those that were really listening in the last study that we had. It is the first well done it’s the first whoa trumpeting it’s the fifth the sixth Trumpet Of course is the second woe in the seventh. Trumpet is the third one.
- 12:02
So what we’ve got here is the fifth angel sounded and of course we’ve got the spread of Islam in this fifth trumpet or this second of this first woe trumpet and of course the spread of Islam would be the saris and streaming out of Arabia into Palestine. See you in the morning, brother and sisters. Just chat.
- 12:26
Amongst yourselves. What? Okay, so we’ve got this now, these series because this is serious. Okay, now, that was fun. So we’ve got here, brothers and sisters, the spread of Islam and we’ve got. There we go. Muhammad first of all, coming up to well, from Mecca, up to budino and he died very soon after that.
- 12:48
And then his his his his successor, they swept into Palestine. And of course they swept across North Africa, into Spain and, of course, try to come around and take Constantinople now, the Islamic empire, In its Zenith rivaled the Roman Empire. And if you were there in the day and you wanted a cross from here to here in the Islamic empire, it would take you nearly a year to do that.
- 13:10
So extensive was he Islamic empire? So this is what this chapter is about. Now you see here, we’ve got the, will the fifth trumpet, which is the first. Whoa, there we are, at the end of the, all the end of this little section here in verse 12 1, woe is past, that is the fifth trumpet and behold there, come Two woes more Hereafter. Well, looking at the context of the chapter, we’ve got these locusts streaming out and those who may not be familiar with this.
- 13:41
We’ve got the shapes of the locusts were like horses, prepared unto battle, and on their heads were as it were crowns of gold and their faces were as faces of men. And they had hair as the hair of women and their teeth were like Teeth of lions, and they had breastplates. What did John see? He saw a mob or swarm of Our students flying through and doing their conquests.
- 14:03
And when you look at that expression, there they had crowns, like, gold will. There are the saracens is they went into battle, we’re in these yellow turbans and they had breastplates of iron well in the Quran, we see and Allah hath. Given you coats of mail which protect you in your Wars, I’m interesting, when you look at that history, with respect to this detail given in Revelation chapter 9 or what about the teeth like lions, well, let’s have a look at the lion of Allah Ali. Mohammed Said, who will be my vizier and Lieutenant early evening are be Talib said, o Prophet. I will be by this year.
- 14:47
I am the man who ever Rises against the, I will dash out his teeth. Tear out his eyes, break his legs. Puppies Billy o Prophet. I will be thy this year. Now teeth, like lions graphic description. The Bible gives us of these Muslim Warrior locusts as they went about but the locusts and therefore the time period given for us singly converted is in verse 5 and verse 10 So these locusts would sting and torment with scorpions tails for five months, and for five months.
- 15:27
I feel like a little old man sitting there with that, with that blanket. That was really, really nice. Now coming up again. Okay, okay, brothers and sisters. So we’ve got this five months in five months. Now, it’s a single conversion. We don’t need to double the convert on this one. So, if we do a single conversion, five months, very simplistically. What Time.
- 15:48
Are we looking at five months? 150 years. So for those who are new to this 5 x 30 days in a month is 150 days And 150 days is 150 years. But the Islamic empire under these khalif’s under these children of the desert, these these saracens wasn’t in existence for 150 years. It was in existence for three hundred years from ad 636 through a D9 36. Therefore, why did God not say you got five months there and Months.
- 16:34
There you had both those together and you get 300 years. Why did God not put down here? And say, well, these locusts were torment and sting and bite for 10 months and then you would go 10 months, 10 times, 30 is 300 300 days a day for a year is 300 years. Why did God not do that?
- 16:59
Somebody knows. Exactly Locust. A busy little creatures for five months. They don’t go for 10 so God’s is. No we’re not going to put an ad Issa propria to Quorum when it comes to the context of this chapter Locust, Iraq, you for five months. So God goes, they’re going to sting for five months. They’re going to sting for five months, do your little research, put them both together and we have this Islamic empire with the saracens going for those 300 years. It’s a very simple little example, but it’s a very very appropriate and accurate way in which God Causes this to be written there, just by us little side, they’ve got these scorpions Tails.
- 17:42
Does anybody know what the Scorpions Tails were close. Saracen fire good. So cannons. Canister coming next? Okay, not cannons. So, John sees the saracens charge into battle, and they’re Towing behind them, these scorpions Tails. Now, if you look in the dictionary and look up the word scorpion, what you would find is that after mentioned something about this little creature that stings you you’ll find in the dictionary. It says this the Scorpion, the definition, an ancient form of ballista or catapult for hurling Stones Etc, as brother Bernadette said for hurling saris and fire burning crude oil mixed with secret chemicals to intensify the burning a powerful sting did John see and that brothers and sisters is what they were talking about.
- 18:36
Now, look at that book, Greek Fire poisonous, arrows, and Scorpion bowls. What an amazing thing. So there’s in history book, that talks about the Scorpion bombs that they use and here it is. In Revelation chapter 5, talking about the Scorpions stinks, five months, five months singly converted. We’ve got 300 years when you bring those both together, okay, that’s the little scorpions and the saracens. What about this one?
- 19:08
Revelation, 9, and verse 15. They would be a release of the four angels that would be bound by the river Euphrates. And these four Angels, these four turkmens tribes. That was sweep in the cell, Dukes, the Mongols the tartars, and the ottomans are, they would sweep across as a great Turkish flood. And the way in, which it should be red, not like our authorized King James version.
- 19:39
Where it says in the Four Angels, these four turkoman tribes, these four Angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour. No, no, the four angels, having been prepared, Well, loosed for an hour a day, a month, and a year for to slay, the third part of men, these scorpions in the first of this chapter, they were tormenting tormenting and tormenting, they couldn’t kill. They wanted to take Constantinople or did the saracens they wanted Europe.
- 20:15
They want to tackle in Europe and they wanted constant over but they couldn’t. It just had a torment torment but the Turks come in and they kill, they could do something the saracens. Could not. And therefore, they were having been prepared loosed for the hour, the day, the month, and the year to slay, the third part of men. Let’s just have a look at that time period, single conversion and you could walk with me through this for those of you who haven’t done this before, what a day for a year principle. What is a day?
- 20:47
That’s funny. It’s very good. That’s love. That’s because it wasn’t on a day for a year. I’ll go do something simple, because it is it 9:30. And who sits who sits in the Marquee at 9:30 in the freezing cold and does maths, I ask you, okay? So, a day for a year, a day is a year. What about a month Very good.
- 21:12
It’s exactly what I have here. 30 days equals 30 years, some of us are new to this. So we’ll go through it. What about a year Jewish year. 360 years. So there’s 360 days in a Jewish year. So it’s 360 years. What about an hour?
- 21:39
As a double conversion. Yes. One month. There are 12 hours in a Jewish Day. See Jesus, did you not know that there are 12 hours in a Jewish days? The Lord you talking to John chapter 9? There are 12 hours in a Jewish day begins at 6 a.m. ends at 6 p.m. 12 hours there, 41 hours at work with the day as is one month. Twelve thirty years, single conversion our month on a date for you happy with that.
- 22:05
So therefore one hour is one month, adding the all of those together we get These for turkmen tribes having been prepared, were released to do a job for 391 years and one month. This is not vague generalities Brothers. This is absolutely nailed to the month and what happened? Well when the seljuks came in the first group of them, when the seljuk came in, there was a fellow at.
- 22:34
Well, let’s have a look. How Constantinople was taken first. Constantinople fell two, men met the second Muhammad the Second on the 29th of May 14:53, they killed the third part of men with Canon, not these catapults that the saracens could not destroy or damage Constantinople. But when they determined to take Constantinople was when the seljuks first came in and that was the fellow called toggle Beck.
- 23:05
He comes in He says, to the Khalif was your daughter. I’m marrying her. And, by the way, you are now a puppet or put you over there, I’m in charge. I’m in charge of the Islamic empire. My name is talk, will beg on the seljuk and when he married, the caliph’s daughter and became head of the Muhammad in faith.
- 23:23
He began a series of salts on Constantinople. In the 27th of April 1062, he began began to take the Constantinople but it would not be taken. Until 391 years and one month later that is astounded. We talked about God working with the nation of Israel. We talk about God working back there in the times when the Turks took Constantinople what an astounding thing, brothers and sisters. Young people when they took Constantinople, it says, in verse 18 of Revelation, 9, and by these three was the third part of men killed, A third part of men. Well, the Roman of the Christian, Roman will bat Catholic Roman world was divided into three sections. The Latin West, which was locked off by the for wind trumpets of chapter 8, the hellenized third, which was decimated by the Muslims, the saracens as they streamed out of Arabia, that was the fifth trumpet.
- 24:30
That was the saracens with the yellow turbans and a third, the remaining third was the Hellenic East, which would be taken by the Turks by fire by smoke, and by Brimstone, which issued out of the mouths of these cannons, In a book called the hinges of battle by dirt Schmidt. He says this He says the hinge of the battle at Constantinople was gunpowder and the cannon, a weapon destined to revolutionize.
- 25:04
I revolutionize future warfare and a gate was left wide open and that is one of the Cannons that was used to take Constantinople. Have you heard of the story of bourbon the Hungarian Bill maker? Have you heard that story? You who hasn’t heard the story of I need to tell you a little story because because because I do need to tell you a little story who hasn’t heard the story of who hasn’t heard the story Carlton, who has.
- 25:37
All right. You go to sleep. Oh, brother, sister is looks amazing. This person talks about the hinges about ali is it’s just just discharged incompetence and chance. No, no God’s work. This cannon was one of the two cannons. They called Muhammad. He’s, they named them after men met or Muhammad. The second who the who was an ottoman, who was on the other side of the Bosphorus, trying to take Constantinople, what happened with this? These cannons, is there was a fellow who was a Hungarian to build maker and he was He was making bills and he must have had a fairly light day one day and he was just mucking around and mucking around is something we say in Australia, which means he was just idly doing little.
- 26:23
So so so he got one of these bills. He turned the bill upside down and and thought we’ll just mix parents have got the Schwarz pole though this black powder this and so he puts this gunpowder in this upturned belly puts a wick in there. Any lights and just bit of a fears. Nothing happened.
- 26:39
So he said, mmm. Okay, let’s put some Gunpowder and let’s put a wick in its put a rock in the top. He likes it wolf and the Rock shot out over the other side. But a crater in the ground chickens and pigs, flying all over the place and goes. Wow. So what he says is that right? I’ll make it around a tube here so it makes this kind of like shoob thing and it put some Gunpowder in there, like a little bit of a weakening, it puts a rock in their tongue. That’s great.
- 27:04
So he does these sketches and he goes to his wife and he said I’m going she says where you going I said I’m going to Constantinople. He says, the emperor in Constantinople can useless. This is amazing. So he goes to Constantinople knocks on the door and says, let me and they said, who are you? He said, I got something for the emperor. Lester, come and show us and he shows them. They said, that’s ridiculous.
- 27:24
Get out. Get out of here. We have got time for this. So he goes out very, very put out. This is all I’m going on the other side of the bosporus and I’m going to the tubes and I’m going to see the to see if they want this. So it goes the other side of the hospital, and he says to mimic the second. He says, I’ve got something for you and they met His, what is it?
- 27:40
Look at this. He said, what is it? Is it I’ll show you. So, it builds a cannon and he says, two men met the second. He says, can you see that ship out there in the bosporus? He said, yes, he said what, boo, and disappeared, and men that the second said that’s fantast, is it what can you do to those walls over there at Constantinople and urban, says dunno.
- 27:59
Let me think about well, you know the story, some of you they called me met the second Hunker Drinker of Bloods. And the reason you got that title But if you go down the wrong side of him, he would nail your turbine to your head while you are alive and that he would cut your head off and that he would put your head on a pole and they would put it out of his front door. And so he says to Urban he says what can you do to these walls and her business?
- 28:24
Not sure. And Hunker said, look at those hits. Now, what can you do to those walls? And he said anything you like And so what he did was he built a hundred cannons and he built two cannons. We said that was so big, so big, they call the Muhammad, he’s and it took 400 men to move operate and maintain one of them, 400 men and 60 oxygen, can you imagine brothers and sisters. These two great big Muhammad.
- 28:58
He’s being dragged Up, drag up to the hill and facing Constantinople. Can you see the people? Leaning on the walls of Constantinople going. Heck, it was here a few months ago selling that and now he’s giving it to the Turks brothers and sisters, God and the angels were there, working to make sure that Constantinople did not get the Cannons but rather the Ottomans on the other side and they took Constantinople in 1453 391 years and one month after they first what an astounding thing.
- 29:30
And so there is a time period of a single conversion. We done enough. Hey you ready to go to bed, you stop outs. All right, brothers and sisters. Now that’s one hour, one day, one month and one year. Now these other single conversions 42 months, we did that this morning that’s very straightforward.
- 29:52
As is the Witnesses in 1260 days, they are all very much the same. This is an interesting, one, Revelation 12 verse 14, times time times, and Up top in Revelation, 20 b, 1260 days. A woman would be nourished as she flees into a Wilderness State. Never got any thoughts as to, why exactly that same period of time is actually written time times and dividing of time, we do know why Revelation torbett changes is the same time, period, you’ve got any thoughts No.
- 30:33
Yes, it’s a key back to Daniel. All right, it’s to link us back to Daniel Circle, right? So if you ever read through Revelation, talk the 1260 days and time, time is a year X is two years dividing of time as a half a year. So you do a Jewish year, two years and a half a year, add those days together and you get 1260 days, which is 1260 days.
- 30:56
All right, there the single X. Now, let’s just let’s do one example. We just flip through that. What you do, one example of a Double conversion. Got a few there. We’ll save this one for tomorrow studies. Fascinating one. The dead bodies lying in the streets. Three and a half days. As is those will save those for our last study, the one hour of judgment is coming.
- 31:16
Let’s just tackle all those tackle that one up there, Revelation 8 verse 1 and that will be the night before us. All right, just as an example of a double conversion to meet the decorum of the symbol, it will got their brothers and sisters in Revelation 8 and verse 1, a half. Half an hour, it is equal to 14 years.
- 31:36
Should have a quick look at that one in a couple of minutes. How we get 14 years and how this really is a double conversion. Right? Here we are Sixth Seal Seventh seal is a real contrast between the end of The Sixth, Seal the Great Earthquake, all the chaos, and the opening of the seventh seal. So when you open up the 7th seal, the contrast is amazing between the 6th and the 7th seal. And when you open up the seventh seal, of course, constant time is in power so quick timeline, you know, there’s so so so very well 312 Constantine is the rule in the west, which seen that before 12 years later.
- 32:20
This is revelation 12, the war in heaven, 12 years later, Constantine in 324 is now the ruler of the world. We also know that in 330 will 326 he moved his power, his seat from Rome over to Byzantium and we know that it was then changed to Constantinople in 3:30, what’s it got to do with silence in heaven, for about the space of half an hour?
- 32:44
Well, constant time dies in 337, so there’s the death of constant time. So in Revelation 8 and verse one, it opens up and the seventh seal open and there was silence in the political Evidence of Rome for about the space of half an hour, you have got that written your margin in Revelation 8 verse 1, silence in heaven is a D3 24.
- 33:11
So when Constantine comes in and there’s political stability, and silence, in the political heavens of Rome, therefore, from the time Constantine takes power of the whole world until a tiny dies is the period of 14 years. Historically, dear brothers and sisters. The contrast is this in young people, chaos there, but all was going on in the Sixth Seal, seventh seal opens. There is revelation 8, verse 1, it opens up. And in contrast to the chaos of The Sixth Seal is silence in the political heavens for 14 years.
- 33:51
Revelation 8 verse 1 and John sees these Angels standing there in the Silence about to receive each a trumpet, seven trumpets, these 7 Angels. Now let’s look at the time period very quickly and that’ll be our night together. Chapter opens, it was silence in heaven for about the space of half an hour. John listens, here’s nothing is silence for about a half an hour.

Twelve hours in a Jewish Day. Yes. Jesus said that in John 11 and verse 9, not John 9. And of course we have this statement or these statements often in the New Testament was about the sixth hour was about the night. They’re taking it from 6 a.m. So there 12 hours are Jewish done.
- 34:38
One air is 12 to the day. A half an hour is a 24th of a day. Or have you with that psycho? Pretty easy. Absolutely, let’s apply the day for you principle based on those quotes. We looked at there for 12 hours in a Jewish Day, 12 months in a year, one hour is one month. You’ve already looked at that.
- 35:00
There’s a single conversion. One hour is one month or one hour is 30 days. One hour is 30 days. Single conversion. A half an hour being a 24th of the day. Well a half an hour is a half a month or a half an hour singly. Converted is 15 days. A half an hour is 15 days. Single conversion.
- 35:25
Have you with it? Okay, 15 days with a double conversion. So we convert again to meet the decorum of the symbol which I’ll show you right now. A single conversion is a half an hour is 15 days. So if it was Singler converted, there was silence in heaven for about 15 days. We’re going to do it will convert again 15 days. It’s 15 years.
- 35:49
That’s our second version. First conversion, second conversion with me so far. No problems. Therefore brothers and sisters the record says there was silence in heaven for about about the space of half an hour. We’re suggesting to you therefore that that 14 years is the about the space of half an hour. It is therefore from ad 324 when Constantine comes in and roof the silence in heaven. Until he dies in 337 the piece as a result of Constantine’s victory over paganism.
- 36:26
Was that 14-year period. Now, where’s the decorum of the symbol come in that necessitates that we have to convert once and convert again? Here’s the question question will ask you as we wrap up a trap up a class if this time period was only to be singly converted and it would end up being 14 years. What were the records say there was silence in heaven for about the space of It was only going to be a single conversion 14 days, here’s John appropriate Decorah, his job. He’s just been writing about all the chaos, all the drama, all the color of The Sixth Seal.
- 37:08
The seventh seal opens. John’s got his parchment there and there is silence. There is silence. Now if John was standing there for 14 or 15 days waiting for the next ACT in the drama it would be inappropriate. It was silence in heaven about the space of a half an hour. So God just shrinks it and shrinks it to make it fit the appropriateness of the symbol and we extend it and we extend it by the context of the chapter and also looking at the Historical Narrative of the events of So 14 years.
- 37:51
So, therefore, brothers and sisters as we wrap it up. There we are, there is the chaos of The Sixth Seal by contrast. There is the silence in the political happens of Rome, 14 years, or about the space of half an hour. And when Constantine dies, in verse 5 of Revelation 8, there is chaos back again, finishing it off if you just want to.
- 38:19
If you haven’t done this before, if you just turn your Bibles to verse 5 of Revelation, 8 and you read there, there were thunderings and Lightnings and voices, Revelation 8, and verse 5, Sunder rings and voices and Lightnings a, be careful that little sentence. There is a D3 37, that’s the death of constant time. That’s the end of the silence in heaven, for about the space of half an hour.
- 38:49
D 337 is the lightning, the Thunders and the voice. That’s when Constantine’s Three Sons wanted to carve up the Empire and I’ll squabbling and squabbling and squabbling and then the next verse says, and an earthquake that earthquake is 83-61. That’s when Julian came in Constantine’s, nephew and said I’ve had enough of Christianity, I’ve had enough of the Catholics, I’m bringing paganism back again, and paganism, came back for two years.
- 39:12
It was a little earthquake lasted, two years and then Catholic Catholicism came back. Let’s just finish off. Help with that, too late. Not with that. That one not. What happened? What panel? Go back. Back. Back back. Right. Mr. Shah for this one.
- 39:39
Why is there no conversion? No single conversion, no double conversion. Why do you think there is no conversion with a thousand years? Tess. Tis. What if we did, what if we did try to singly convert it? How many days are there in a thousand years?
- 40:07
How many? So if we try to singly just singly convert that that’s 360 thousand days, which the Lord Jesus Christ and we would rain for three hundred sixty thousand years. No, it doesn’t fit, it does not fit the seven days of creation, it doesn’t fit the 7,000 year plan, where the Sabbath is the seventh day of rest and the Millennium doesn’t fit that context.
- 40:35
And you could not sing, click invert and say a 360 thousand. The kingdom will be besides which Brothers the Lord Jesus Christ as king, there is no reduction. There is no reducing. There is no minimizing of his kingdom. His kingdom will be magnificent and that time period stands in its glory for the seventh day wrist and the seventh day of Jesus Christ’s Reign.
