Anthony's Answer on The Half Hour of Silence in Heaven

By Gerlinda

One thing that was asked of Anthony was concerning that half hour of silence in heaven.

Revelation 8:1 (KJV) And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour..

He said he hoped he would not sound like a heretic but he believed it was probably the kind of silence that soldiers have prior to a battle...taking a deep breath and saying, "Well, here we go, at last."

The Angels of the Lord have been waiting for this day for a long, long time to finish off what began in the battle when Michael and his angels threw Lucifer out of his former abode.

Now, they will finish this war-fare for good and it will be like it says in Revelation 12:10 "And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night."

The opening of the 6th Seal triggers the Resurrection of the dead and /Rapture of the Living and the Day of The Lord", the time when God will pour out His wrath on the unbelieving world.

Revelation chapter 6 ends with the powerful people of the world fully understanding that the cataclysmic global earthquake and events of the 6th seal are of DIVINE ORIGINE:

Revelation 6:12-17. "And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?


At this point, I am led to ask once again, "When does Our Lord come down with His Angels to do warfare on earth?"

I Thess. 4:15-17 gives the answer to that. we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

Take note of something, you pre-tribbers, , that this question is asked by Believers who want to know when He return. It is not a question of when there will be a Resurrection or this so called pre-trib. Rapture.

They knew their joining to their Lord was when He would return. These were Believers who were alive, expecting His Return any time. They did not know there would be all of this time until when He would physically return to earth. So, they are told that the Dead would arise first and then the living to join the Lord in the air.

Yahusha returns with His Angels to gather the Resurrected. He and His Angels will fight the forces of Satan. Joe Ortiz has tried to make this point in his book, "Why Christians Will Suffer 'Great Tribulation'".

This Battle that will take place upon His Return will be between Spiritual Forces of the Good Angels against the Evil ones and the physical minions of Satan will be fighting each other. I recall one of the things that Code-Searcher found was a reference to a Sword of Blood.

The Fallen Angels will see their off-spring destroy each other. How fitting for Our God to have it happen that way.

There is more to still comment on this interview with Anthony Patch.
