The planet Mars is the god of war and represents the continuation of war on the earth. This war is the United
European nations attacking the well-fortified Islamic city in the South. Both Jupiter (Messiah) and Orion (True
Shepherd) are down near the earth which represents “…. the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky” as mentioned
in Matthew 24:30. This sign is given days prior to and during the Rapture. 1 Thessalonians 5:4-6 mentions that
believers should be “alert” so it will not overtake us as “like a thief.” The Son of Man marks the coming (parousia)
and initiates two things: first, the Rapture of the righteous in Christ and second starts the Day of the Lord. This
also begins the Great Tribulation and judgment of the wicked. The Bible is accurate in all aspects in God’s word.
Likewise, to be on the same day as in Lot was delivered from the Wrath of God would mean the day of the
Rapture must be the beginning of the Great Tribulation. There is also further evidence that this is the correct
interpretation. This explains the statement of the martyred multitude seen in heaven to “rest for a little while longer.”
This heavenly scene is followed by the great multitude coming out of the Great Tribulation as seen in Revelation
7:14. This event must follow after the Rapture, since the multitude is seen in bodies that are clothed in white
robes versus the martyred souls, who were given but not wearing their white robes. The great multitude has
received their glorified bodies during the Rapture and after the opening of the sixth seal. Therefore, a glorified
body can wear the white robes unlike spirits that do not have a physical body. This heavenly scene occurs prior
to the opening of the seventh seal which begins the Trumpet Judgments and God’s Wrath upon the earth.

Revelation 7:13-14 “Then one of the elders answered, saying to me, “These who are clothed in the white
robes, who are they, and where have they come from?” “I said to him, “My lord, you know.” And he
said to me, “These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and they have washed their robes
and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.”
