FAT MAN and LITTLE BOY Leap Upon The Stage

We're going to jump ahead for one moment to Revelation chapter thirteen.

Revelation 13, verse 13 - in Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

"..and it" - the second 'beast' of the chapter - "doth great signs, that fire also it may make to come down from the heaven to the earth before men.."

Many believe this will be a supernatural act, a magical trick of some sort. But I believe it occurred in 1945 at the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

I also believe it is the sixth seal, of the seven seals of chapter six. The scroll is unrolled, breaking the seal, revealing the vision, the earth shakes, and mighty men of the earth hide in caves. I remember hearing of the bomb shelters that were built after that day.

The Seals of God are described in a blend of two strands:
 - #1 - what it is when it begins, and,
 - #2 - what it is at the 'end' in its full growth (gallup) and maturity.

This is never more true than with the sixth seal. But with the emphasis on its full blown effect.

Revelation 6:12-17 - Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

"And I saw when he opened the sixth seal, and lo, a great earthquake came, and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood, and the stars of the heaven fell to the earth -- as a fig-tree doth cast her winter figs, by a great wind being shaken -- and heaven departed as a scroll rolled up, and every mountain and island -- out of their places were moved; and the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich, and the chiefs of thousands, and the mighty, and every servant, and every freeman, hid themselves in the dens, and in the rocks of the mountains, and they say to the mountains and to the rocks, `Fall upon us, and hide us from the face of Him who is sitting upon the throne, and from the anger of the Lamb,' because come did the great day of His anger, and who is able to stand?"

And after this -

Revelation 7:1 - King James Version (KJV)

"And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.."

The Winds of the Sixth Seal are held back. Its winds are paused, and this is exactly where planet Earth is now in the unfolding of Bible prophecy. How long we remain here, would likely be the question. During the pause "servants of God are sealed on their foreheads, a hundred and forty-four thousand of Israel, and a great crowd from every land, nation and tribe". (The order being vice-versa, as shortly after Israel recognizes Jesus as Messiah, is when Jesus returns, Mt 23:39.)

Then, when the seventh seal on the scroll is broken there is silence in heaven for half an hour. I believe the seventh seal is broken when the pause of thermonuclear warfare is broken. Seven angels who stand before God are given seven trumpets, and they prepare to sound. (Things escalate.)

The seven trumpets are in that last seal. In order to keep this study brief and to the point, I am assuming it's likely any reader of this is acquainted somewhat with the Book of Revelation and knows what the Seals, Trumpets, and Bowls or Vials are. I would be more than happy to reply to the question if not however.

By describing the sixth seal in its maturity of effect, the vision is in a degree, locked. For it describes things which happen very late on the planet, here so early on in the narrative!
