Trumpet Judgments. Those individuals who are on the earth recognize God’s Wrath is imminent with the
following statement in Revelation 6:16 about the sixth seal. The Lamb is Christ and they try to hide in caves.

Revelation 6:16 “Fall on us and hide us from the presence of Him who sits on the throne, and from the
144
wrath of the Lamb;”

The light cone represents judgment of “past events or deeds” of wickedness in the world. We also know that the
light tunnel is used to Rapture the Bride of Christ from this earth. We know that the Trumpet Judgments start
with the opening of the seventh seal. It appears that in a little while there will be the outpouring of God’s Wrath
on the earth. The timeline of events for the opening of the sixth seal is shown in the following figure.

Mark 13:19-20 “For those days will be a time of tribulation such as has not occurred since the
beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never will.
20 “Unless the Lord had shortened those days, no life would have been saved; but for the sake of the
145
elect, whom He chose, He shortened the days.”

Christ states He shortened the days for the Elect. It is less than halfway through the total Tribulation period.
Please take note that the succession of the fifth and sixth seals occurs very rapidly. It is immediately followed by
the Rapture. In 2 Peter 3:9 it states “The Lord ….is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish…” It is reason why
God waits to the last moment before taking the believer. This is just before judgment comes. Therefore, we
should stay alert for there are heavenly signs that are given by God. Unlike, the New Heaven and Earth where
there will not be any signs for man, the Son, or the angels. Only God, the Father knows when this will occur.

Mark 13:31-32 “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.” “But of that day or
hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.”
146
2 Peter 3:12-13 “looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens
will be destroyed by burning, and the elements will melt with intense heat! But according to His
promise we are looking for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells.”
147
It is completely apparent that the heavenly sign of the light tunnel was the Rapture and we should be on the alert.
The Rapture occurs over a very short period of time. Next, we are taken to Heaven from this earth in our
glorified bodies and the skies turn to a golden amber color for the Glory of God. We shall again see the light
tunnel reappear in the heavens when Christ returns to earth during His Second Coming. See the book entitled
“Heavenly Signs – Grand Design for Christ’s Return.” This will be with His immortal armies to conquer the evil world
and destroy the Antichrist, the False Prophet and finally Satan, the dragon, the devil, the serpent of old.
