As the first of four split sermons on the Feast of Trumpets, we will begin the day by examining the series of events leading up to, but NOT including, the loosing of the seventh seal and the blowing of seven trumpets. We will examine Rev.6 and the loosing of six seals and comparing it to the plain speaking explanation of Jesus Christ in the Gospels; primarily the account as told by Matthew (ch.24) but with some added details from Luke (ch.21).
