THE SEVENTH DAY
“let no man go out… on the Seventh Day. So the people rested on the Seventh Day” (Exo 16)
… RIP
SUMMARY
We propose that the first mention of Sabbath in the Bible, in Exodus 16, speaks to a prophetic
“Seventh Day” of length 40 years, which the world entered in 2017 and will end in 2056.
The Seventh Day will be a time of upheaval in the world order. The Seventh Day includes the
Rapture and culminates in Daniel’s 70th Week: 2050 to 2056.
The Seventh Day will mark the end of Christians (Rapture) and Jews (2053) on earth.1
EVIDENCE FOR OUR THESIS
We have long asserted the Seven Seals of Revelation precede the Rapture. However, till now
we have not identified the Seven Seals in history.
We will demonstrate by historical fulfilment that the first Six Seals have already been opened,
each in its own 40 year prophetic “Day”, occurring consecutively, beginning in 1777.
KEY TO UNLOCKING THE MYSTERY
The 1977th verse of the Torah is Exodus 16 v 29 “See! [big mystery revealed] He gives you on the
sixth day bread for two days.” Thus: 1977 was the beginning of the Sixth Day. Exodus 16 v 35
“the children of Israel ate manna for forty years” implies each prophetic “Day” is 40 years.
For evidence to support the one-year one-verse method please see our paper: Come Away.
1 The 144,000 Jews who pledge allegiance to Messiah Jesus will make it through, but the Jews who refuse to take the Mark will be slaughtered; then resurrected in the Millennium shortly after the return of Christ. It is the privilege of all people to accept Jesus as Messiah before these terrible events. Save your eternal soul: Do it today!

LAST DAYS PROPHECY
Revelations sets out earthly and heavenly events until the second coming of Christ and beyond.
Revelations divides history from the Cross to the Eternal State into distinct ages:
(1) Age of Grace (2) Daniel’s 70TH Week (3) The Millennium (4) The Eternal State
The diagram below shows within the ages there are subdivisions: eras. Dividing each age is a
crisis event. Beneath are the prophecies of the Book of Revelations. The Seven Seals begin in
Birth Pangs and extend to include all of Daniel’s 70th Week. Time is not to scale in the diagram.
We sub-divide the period of the Seven Seals as follows: (one Seal = one ‘Day’)
1. First Seal 1777-1816 Rider on white horse: Napoleon Bonaparte
2. Second Seal 1817-1856 Rider on red horse: Ascendancy of British Empire
3. Third Seal 1857-1896 Rider on black horse: Abuse of the Lowest Workers
4. Fourth Seal 1897-1936 Rider on pale horse: World War I
5. Fifth Seal 1937-1976 Souls under the altar: Holocaust
6. Sixth Seal 1977-2016 Heaven rolled up as scroll: Secular Humanism Reigns
7. Seventh Seal 2017-2056 The Scroll is thereby opened: The Last Days
We will supply our evidence for the historical fulfilment of the Six Seals in the following pages.

FIRST SEAL 1777-1816
And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow;
and a crown was given to him: and he went forth conquering…
Jesus said: “For there shall arise false Christs… and shall shew great signs and wonders;
insomuch… they shall deceive the very elect. Behold, I have told you before.” (Matt. 24 v 24-25)
What is a false Christ? A false Messiah. A Messiah because he brings deliverance to his people
and his nation. False because he achieves victory by the sword (and bow).
Napoleon was the specific false Christ of history whose arrival marked the opening of the Seals.
His specialty was artillery: “had a bow”. Although a common man he became Emperor: “a
crown was given him” (i.e. not inherited). He relentlessly made war: “went forth conquering”.
Napoleon embodied the Revelations 6 prophecy: Napoleon saved France. When he took
power the chaos of the French revolution subsided. He conquered the foes of France on every
side. He brought prosperity and pride. He was also a law-giver and judge.
Did he do miracles? Signs and wonders? To all of Europe his victories on the battlefield were
miraculous. Repeatedly Napoleon successfully defeated coalitions of many great powers.
Napoleon’s surname was Bo-naparte. When the living creature in Revelation 6 called him forth
he cried “Come!”. The Hebrew word for “come!” is ‘Boh’! This word also links Napoleon with
another “Boh” of Bible prophecy: Bo-az in the Book of Ruth. Ruth [i.e. France] gave up her
historic loyalty to ancient royal blood lines and married the rich and mighty “rider” of her day.
We have papers with detailed Bible predictions of other False Messiahs: Genghis Khan and
Adolf Hitler. There will be many false Christs! Note: The Beast of Revelation will not be a false
Christ. He is the Man of Lawlessness who will be revealed after the Rapture (2 Thess. v 6-12).

SECOND SEAL 1817-1856
And another horse went out that was fiery 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.
British General Wellington defeated Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815 (scene above).
With the demise of Napoleon, the British Empire had undisputed in power on land. Together
with the power of the British Navy, Britain had no serious rival for world hegemony.
Britain began an expansionist program which ultimately added 10,000,000 square miles of
territory and 400 million people. Her influence extended far beyond her territories. Due to a
dominant position in world trade Britain controlled China, Argentina, and Siam.
British troops were known as ‘redcoats’: “horse that was red”.
Britain imposed its force on every continent: “power was given… to take peace from the earth”.
Britain’s official policy was ‘splendid isolation’ but in fact Britain meddled in affairs of other
nations incessantly: “that they should kill one another”. Divide and conquer.
Britain carved up the world map: “there was given to him a great sword”. This continued up to
the Balfour Declaration in 1917: which established boundaries for states in the Middle East.
The Indian Rebellion and Opium Wars in this period caused great loss of life.

THIRD SEAL 1857-1896
And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances
in his hand. And I heard a voice 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’.
This prophetic ‘Day’ features a “black horse”: emphasizing the predominant color of the people
under the control of the powers that be! In this case, not military powers but legal powers: “a
pair of balances in his hand” (universal symbolic of jurisprudence).
Slavery was abolished in the British Empire in 1833; in India in 1843; and in America in 1865 (in
the North in 1863). Passage of anti-slavery laws curtailed the worst abuses of workers. But, the
plantation mentality continued world-wide and with it the practice of extracting labor in return
for the barest subsistence wage: “a measure of wheat for a penny [day’s labor]”.
In the West-Indies, America, India, Ceylon, Indonesia, and Africa the world-wide colonial
economy reached massive proportions: hundreds of millions of people were oppressed.
Unjust laws such as excessive land taxes, salt taxes, denial of the right to vote, segregation of
persons of different color besmirched this era and were not reversed for a hundred years.
Owners of plantations and shareholders in colonial corporations (e.g. East India Company)
profited handsomely: “see though hurt not the oil and the wine”.
As the British Empire waned, greedy Western nations poised to strike out on a second wave of
imperial conquest. A stalemate of opposing interests resulted in the Great War: the next seal!

FORTH SEAL 1897-1936
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.
Which of the world’s ethnic people offered their sons as soldiers to be cannon fodder for the
great powers that dueled in World War I? And who were the people whose cities and land
were pulverized? Almost entirely pale skinned people: English, English colonists, French,
Germans, Russians, and Americans: “and behold a pale horse”.
World War I (1914-18) was a deadly conflict: 20 million deaths and 20 million wounded. Deaths
included 9.7 million soldiers and 10 million civilians: “and his name that sat on him was Death”
The nature of the conflict was surreal and never before imagined. Canisters of poison gas
covered the land in ghoulish green clouds. Bombs fell out of the sky from aerial balloons.
Artillery guns of gigantic explosive power and long range pummelled the landscape into a pulp.
Rapid firing machine guns were perfected which mowed down advancing troops like a scythe
through crops: blood soaked soil slashed across Europe like a scar: “and Hell followed with him”
The war was waged in Europe and the Asia Minor: “a fourth part of the earth”
Deaths arose from battle: “sword”; and many casualties away from the battle: “hunger”.
This war gave us new categories of war machines: planes and tanks: “beasts of the earth”.
As if all this was not enough the 1918 Spanish Influenza killed 20 to 50 million “and with death”.

FIFTH SEAL 1937-1976
I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of
God, and for the testimony which they held: 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?’
The violence of World War I caused intellectuals across Europe to question the established
order. New philosophies were invented to explain how such things came to be. Marxist-
Leninists observed that whether as oppressed workers [3rd Seal] or as sacrificial soldiers [4th
Seal] capitalists oppressed workers. Socialism strived to bring power to the people. National
Socialism offered Germany a new “altar” on which to offer sacrifices to a new “god”.
But Communism and National Socialism gave rise to totalitarianism, which proved to be no
panacea. The new powers in Europe were rabid. They increased loyalty to their cause by
inflaming ancient hatreds. Jews found themselves trapped: “under the altar”.
War was unleashed between the opposing philosophic views. Efforts to purify Germany of the
people blamed for the loss of World War I resulted in full scale genocide. Torah honoring Jews
were massacred for their faith: “slain for the word of God and for the testimony”.
But not only Jews were killed in the millions. There were Stalinist purges, the starvation of
Ukraine, Maoist purges, and the napalming of Indo-China: non-stop large scale genocides.
Why did this happen? The opening of the first Seal marked the ‘Great Falling Away’. Newly
created America was built on the philosophy of self-rule according to man’s judgment: Scripture
was set aside as a rule for life. This could only lead to sin. But, since the French revolution
Europe was already far down this path: callous to sin and dismissive of God’s judgment.

SIXTH SEAL 1977-2016
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; And the stars of heaven
fell to the earth, even as a fig tree casts her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island
were moved out of their places. 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; And said to the mountains and rocks:
‘Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the
Lamb: For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?’
In 1945 National Socialism was defeated. By 1977 Soviet Communism was discredited. These
failures did not persuade intellectuals that humanism was a false hope. Instead they concluded
humanism according to the American brand of consumerism was the way. The apostasy was
incurable: Western nations dove head first down the slippery slope of denying God’s authority.
Honor and respect for inspired Scripture was erased from the affairs of nations: no more public
prayers or 10 Commandments in classrooms. The Holy Spirit: “Sun” was blotted out: “became
black”. Christian religions: “Moon” were tarnished and disdained: “became as (woman’s)
blood”. Fathers, mothers, and school teachers: “stars of heaven” who previously espoused and
upheld Biblical faith became worldly minded, carnal and foolish: “fell to the earth”. The
implausible Evolution Theory replaced faith in a Creator God: “heaven departed as a scroll”.
Old authorities were cast off “every mountain and island were moved”. Governments “kings of
the earth” and “the rich men” made a Devil’s bargain: they surrendered their sovereignty to
achieve material gains: e.g. European Union. Soon all people and nations became servants to
the whims of global corporations and banks: “fall on us and hide us”. But by 2017 people began
to experience calamities: terrorism, disasters, civil strife and wondered: “who shall stand?”

SIXTH SEAL (part two) 1977-2016
Exo. 16 v 29
And it shall come to pass, that on the sixth day they shall prepare that which
they bring in; and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily. And Moses and
Aaron said to all the children of Israel: ‘At even, then ye shall know that the
LORD hath brought you out from the land of Egypt’.
The joint appearance of these two historic events: the abundance of material goods on the 6th
day and rejection of God’s authority on the 6th day were predicted in the Torah.
Exodus 16 describes the 6th day as exceedingly abundant in material rewards: “it shall be twice
as much”. Earnings of workers will be more than they can consume. During the 6th day a
middle class will emerge in Western post-Christian nations that enjoys a rise in standard of
living. Schools will multiply so all children are educated. Advances in science will cure diseases.
It will all seem as if the American brand of Humanism is making the world a better place.
Yet, “at even”, meaning at the end of the “Day”, there will be a gathering darkness, which
covers the whole world, and fills the hearts of the glutted over-fed Israelites with foreboding:
“ye shall know the LORD has brought you out of the land of Egypt” (i.e. from plenty to poverty).
The tribe of Israel which is prophetic of America is Ephraim. The tribe which is prophetic of
Great Britain is Manasseh. These were the two sons of Joseph born during the time of his
privilege and power in Egypt. Their mother was an Egyptian: the daughter of the priest of On.
The boys were thoroughly Egyptian in all their ways. They reached maturity before grandfather
Jacob and their uncles sojourned to Egypt and could tell them any different.
America and Great Britain are prophetically linked to Bible characters who in their heyday
enjoyed great material blessings but who did not honor the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

THE SEVENTH DAY 2017-2056
Heb. 12 v 25-29
See that ye refuse not Him that speaks. For if they escaped not who refused Him that spoke on
earth, MUCH MORE SHALL WE NOT ESCAPE, IF WE TURN AWAY FROM HIM THAT SPEAKS FROM
HEAVEN: Whose voice then shook the earth: but now He hath promised, saying, ‘YET ONCE
MORE I WILL SHAKE NOT THE EARTH ONLY BUT HEAVEN’. And this word, ‘Yet once more’,
signifies the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those
things which cannot be shaken may remain. Since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be
moved, let us have grace, THAT WE MAY SERVE GOD ACCEPTABLY WITH REVERENCE AND
GODLY FEAR: FOR OUR GOD IS A CONSUMING FIRE.
Since 1777 Western nations of Judeo-Christian heritage turned completely away from Jesus
Christ; as they saw the success of Humanism in every facet of society they lost their fear of God:
Great Falling Away Birth of United States Man Supreme in Government
1st Seal Napoleon Bonaparte Man Supreme in Battle
2nd Seal British Empire Man Supreme in World Rule
3rd Seal Abuse of Lowest Workers Man Supreme in Economy
4th Seal World War 1 Man Supreme in Destruction
5th Seal WWII & Genocides Man Supreme in Judgment
6th Seal Humanism Everywhere Man Supreme in Wisdom
The warning of Hebrews Chapter 12 (above) will be fulfilled on the Seventh Day. God will show
who is God! He will shake the earth: not only the secular post-Christian nations; but also, the
secular Jewish state. Since there is no room for the Holy Spirit the Age of Grace must end.

SCHEDULE OF PROPHETIC EVENTS TILL KINGDOM COMES
What we know for sure is the alignment of prophetic verses over the next 40 years. We
present those in the Appendix at the end of this paper. Let the reader ponder the Scriptures!
As far as our own opinions, we now enter the realm of enlightened speculation. We don’t claim
to write infallibly about future events. We may revise our opinions. This is our current view:
2016 Final year of Mantle of Nebuchadnezzar: possessed by America for 70 years2.
2017 Seventh Seal is Opened: SEVENTH DAY begins; set to end in 40 years (2056).
2029 End of the SECOND DAY since the Crucifixion of Christ in 30 AD [‘Day’=1,000 years]
2030 Start of the THIRD DAY: Christ rose early in morning on 3rd Day! [‘Day’ = 1,000 years]
2040 1st Trumpet of Revelations: 1/3 earth, trees, grass [nations?] burn up
2043 2nd Trumpet of Revelations: huge mountain ablaze [world system?] thrown into sea
2046 3rd Trumpet of Revelations: 1/3 waters turned bitter [exodus from world religions?]
2047 4th Trumpet of Revelations: 1/3 Sun, Moon, Stars turn dark; light’s out! THE RAPTURE!
2048 5th Trumpet of Revelations: locust swarm released: tortures victims for 5 months
2049 6th Trumpet of Revelations: 1/3 humanity killed by 200 million mounted troops
2050 1st Year of DANIEL’S 70th WEEK: Two Witnesses begin to prophesy:
2051 2nd Year of Daniel’s 70th Week: …Holy City trampled by Gentiles
2052 3rd Year of Daniel’s 70th Week: …power to shut up sky so it will not rain
2053 MID-POINT OF DANIEL’S 70th WEEK: 7th Trumpet: Abomination of Desolation!
2054 5th Year of Daniel’s 70th Week: 1st to 6th Bowls of God’s Wrath: sores, heat, darkness
2055 6th Year of Daniel’s 70th Week: 7th Bowl: Armageddon; Earthquake; Fallen is Babylon!
2056 7th Year of Daniel’s 70th Week: Beast & False Prophet thrown into Lake of Fire
2 This is the last year America is indisputable leader of the free world and enjoys insurmountable strength. From 2017 forward America is vulnerable militarily and economically; she will also be discredited as a moral leader. From 2017 America will no longer enjoys divine protection either: witness Hurricane Harvey.
