Oxford Bible Church - Living in the Last Days (audio)

The 2 witnesses minister in the Temple in the first 1260 days of the 70th Week (Rev 11), playing a vital role in calling Israel back to God, and preaching the Gospel to the nations through TV. God confirms their words by great miracles, and they call down the first 6 Trumpets. We see why they are Moses and Elijah.

After the 144,000 are sealed (Revelation 7), the 7th Seal is broken (Revelation 8:1-2), releasing the 7 Trumpets. This coincides with the start of Daniel's 70th Week, and the start of the ministry of the 2 witnesses, who announce the first 6 Trumpets in advance from the Temple. The 7th Trumpet is at Mid-Tribulation.

After the Rapture is an unknown time-period before Daniel's 70th Week begins with Israel's covenant with antichrist, enabling her to have her 3rd Temple in the first half of the Tribulation. We see God's Purpose for this Temple, especially the key role of the 2 witnesses, who announce the first 6 Trumpets.

The Tribulation starts straight after the Rapture with the first 6 Seals (Revelation 6). After an initial period in which the 144,000 are prepared (Revelation 7), the 7th Seal is broken releasing the 7 Trumpets (Revelation 8:1-2). This coincides with the start of Daniel's 70th Week, and the start of the Ministry of the 2 Witnesses.

After the first 6 Seals are broken at the start of the Tribulation, releasing the Birth Pains, there is an Interlude before the 7th Seal releases the 7 Trumpets. During this Interlude (described in Revelation 7) the 144,000 from 12 tribes of Israel are prepared and sealed to spearhead evangelism in the Tribulation.

In Revelation 6, Christ breaks the first 6 Seals in quick succession, initiating the Tribulation Judgments, by withdrawing God's restraining grace from the 6 main realms of the world-system. The Seals are not one-off events, but are Birth-Pains that continue and intensify until the Kingdom is born at Christ's Return.

Revelation 4:1 marks the start of the things that will take place after the Church Age. John is taken to Heaven and into the future to the start of the Tribulation. He sees 24 elders (representing the resurrected and raptured Church), and the Lamb, about to open the Scroll with 7 Seals (the Title Deed of the earth) - the key to Revelation 6-19.

This is Part 1 of a Series covering the whole of the Book of Revelation, which reveals the sequence of future events in chronological order. This video introduces the Book, describing its overall structure and going verse by verse through Revelation 1, including the vision of the glorified Christ - the basis for Revelation 2-3.

Tarshish and her young lions are mentioned in Ezekiel 38:13 as opposing this invasion. The scriptures on Tarshish show she is the UK (not Spain). God used the Tarshish nations in the world wars, and for Israel's Rebirth. The Tarshish prophecies require Brexit. God is raising her up again to fulfil her call.

Ezekiel 38:1–39:16 describes an invasion of the Mountains of Israel led by Russia, with Iran, Turkey & others. God will judge and destroy these invading armies using elements of nature, bringing a world-wide revival. Tarshish is shown to be the UK. We see God's special purpose for her & her young lions.
