The believer is saved from God’s Wrath and has been taken to Heaven. In
Matthew 24:30 it makes the statement that the revealing of the Son of Man
will occur after the heavenly event of the “MOON WILL NOT GIVE ITS
LIGHT.” Didn’t Christ say that this would occur immediately after the
tribulation? This is followed by the angels gathering His Bride from this earth,
which is the Rapture. This is further evidence that immediately after the
tribulation must start the Great Tribulation and the Day of the Lord. They all
are concurrent events from the Rapture to the start of the Great Tribulation

Matthew 24:29 “But immediately after the tribulation of those days the
sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars
will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.” 207

Isn’t it amazing to find that the fifth seal occurred in May, the fifth month,
followed by the sixth seal and the Rapture occurring in June, the sixth month?
All of these events occur in rapid succession and sequence from the martyred
saints, to the cosmic disturbance, to the Rapture and followed by the Day of
the Lord. Seven marks the completeness of the seventh seal and the beginning
of the Seven Trumpet Judgments, which will follow. It is interesting that
Noah’s Ark rested upon the mountainous region of Ararat on the seventh
month. Was that a sign of completeness of God’s Wrath at the time of the
Flood as well? We know that all the movements of the heavenly bodies were
made at the time of creation by the Almighty God. “All things came into being
through Him...” from John 1:3. This earth was ultimately created by and for
Christ to reign upon it. The position of the sun, moon and stars in space are
uniquely given in time. We have used them to fix chronological events in time
as prophetic scripture has revealed them. It is God’s creation of the heavens
with its signs that declares the ultimate truth of the End Times. Christ declared
in Luke 21:25 “There will be signs in sun and moon and stars.....” during the End
Times. It is astonishing to find that God’s Word aligns perfectly with the
heavenly signs that have been shown in this book. This, without a doubt,
proves there must be an Almighty God who has had a plan for this earth, since
the beginning of time. God’s creation also included a plan of salvation for
those who believe in Christ as their personal savior and Lord in their life.

What a humbling experience this is to see God’s hand at work

from the time of creation until the End of Time. God’s grand
design for the universe matches His Prophetic Word. This tells the

true story of creation through intelligent design by God. Christ can
save you. Call upon the Lord and be saved in Christ.
