CHAPTER 9: COSMIC DISTURBANCE- 6 Seal

Mark chapter 13 describes the gathering of His Elect, who become His Bride, from the farthest ends of earth
and heaven. The “GATHER TOGETHER HIS ELECT” is the terminology used in the Bible for the Rapture.
This is not in agreement by Bible scholars, who believe that this is not referring to the Rapture. Nevertheless, this
passage of scripture goes on to describe “two men in the field and two women at the mill.” One is taken and the other is
left behind. This is followed by the statement to stay alert, since you do not know “what hour your Lord doth come.”
In this chapter, we will investigate the significance of comic disturbances in the heavens prior to the Rapture.

Mark 13:24-27 “But in those days, after that tribulation, THE SUN WILL BE DARKENED AND THE MOON
WILL NOT GIVE ITS LIGHT, AND THE STARS WILL BE FALLING from heaven, and the powers that are in the
heavens will be shaken. “Then they will see THE SON OF MAN COMING IN CLOUDS with great power and
glory. “And then He will send forth the angels, and will gather together His elect from the four winds,
from the farthest end of the earth to the farthest end of heaven.”

This heavenly sign is packed with numerous heavenly objects. This is the solar eclipse with both planets of Mars
and Mercury as well as the moon that radiates sunlight upward. The dual planetary eclipses with sun and the
moon’s complete alignment with Mars would make roaring waves. The eclipses can cause and increase in the
gravitational forces on the seas creating greater tides. It could stress the faults in the earth and create earthquakes.
Luke 21:26 makes the statement that the “powers of the heavens will be shaken.” Are the “powers” the gravitational
forces? Besides cosmic disturbances, there will be signs on the earth and seas. Christ declared in Luke 21:25
“There will be signs in sun and moon and stars and on the earth dismay among nations in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and
the waves.” Observe the planet Jupiter is just above the earth. Jupiter and Orion together are both seen just above
the treetops. Is this a sign of Christ in scripture? It states “…the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky” as
mentioned in Matthew 24:30 (page images 89, 93). Christ in His Olivet Discourse mentions that the Tribulation
is followed by a Great Tribulation and desecration of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem. Because of this phrase “after
