• The seal descriptions at the beginning of the vision, as their full effects, first to last, veils much.

Romans 11:15
“If their (Israel’s) rejection brought reconciliation to the world” (gospel to the nations) “what will their acceptance be but life from the dead? (Ro.11:32 - “all are disobedient”.)
Isaiah 26
19 But your dead will live, LORD! their bodies will rise. Let those who dwell in the dust, wake up and shout with joy! Your dew is like the dew of the morning! The earth will give birth to her dead. (Living metaphor. Metaphor/motto from literal.)
20 Go, my people, enter your rooms and shut the doors behind you - hide yourselves - for a little while, until his wrath has passed by. (Rev.2:10 - Dn.12:11-12 wiTh Lk.19:41,44 & 1Cor.3:16.)
21 See, the Lord is coming out of his dwelling to punish the people of the earth for their sins. The earth will disclose the blood shed on it. The earth will conceal its slain no longer! (Mt.13:30 as Rev.16:14-15-16 “first”, then, Mt.13:1-10, all in context.)
2 Peter 3:10 and 12-13
Man is made up largely of carbon, which has 6 protons, 6 neutrons and 6 electrons - apocalypse & armageddon are done by man. We have his number.
The ‘Day’ of the LORD begins with the fiery “wrath” (consequences) and concludes with the fiery “palin(again)genesis”. (These two fiery bookends of the ‘Day’ of the LORD, are where two of the three mentions of lake of fire are. The 3rd is between these two, at the fiery final defeat of the adversary.) Like the seals of the revelation vision, the fiery bookends of the Lord’s long second advent, are presented as one thing, even event. The one element is described as its full effects, very first to very last, all together at once. Thus both fires are portrayed as one and not necessarily in correct order, but as a blend of their totality. (Note example, first seal 6 event -> 7:1,3. And because the vision’s told 3 times, 13:13 is also that first occurrence, but pinpointed an oFFice. Rev.12 is the shortest telling of the three, verse 17 with Mt.23:39, and vs.14-⛵️.)
From 2Pet.3:10,12-13 - 10 The ‘Day’ (entire) of the LORD will come as a thief, when the heavens will pass away with a roar. The heavenly bodies will be burned up and dissolved. The earth and the works that are done on it will be laid bare. …The heavens will be set on fire and dissolved and the elements will melt in the heat. For according to His promise we are awaiting a new heavens and a new earth, wherein righteousness dwells.
Revelation 21:1-5 - Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea (separation of peoples) was no more. 2 And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband (radiant). 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them. They are his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. 4 He will wipe away every tear from their eyes. Death is no more, neither mourning, nor crying, nor pain, for the former [prótos - first] has passed away.” 5 And he who was seated on the throne said, “Behold, I make all new.” Also he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”
In conclusion, Isaiah 11:7 - The cow will graze with the bear, their young will pasture and lie down together. And the lion will eat straw like the ox.
