WEBVTT 1 00:00:21.110 --> 00:00:28.810 A warm welcome to today’s video entitled "Seal Up the Seven Thunders." 2 00:00:29.750 --> 00:00:35.877 The content of today’s video is, on the one hand, more than sad, 3 00:00:35.887 --> 00:00:44.590 because it logically follows on from the Elijah message of the last video by Brother John. 4 00:00:45.570 --> 00:00:55.085 On the other hand, this video will show what an otherwise rather hidden yet commanded prayer in Revelation, 5 00:00:55.095 --> 00:00:57.397 spoken at the right time, 6 00:00:57.407 --> 00:00:58.820 can accomplish. 7 00:01:01.020 --> 00:01:07.330 The next slide presents the current dilemma without misunderstandings. 8 00:01:08.980 --> 00:01:14.450 Our last published video was entitled "The Heavenly Concerts." 9 00:01:15.080 --> 00:01:23.052 Brother John preached the content on December 13 here to our congregation in Paraguay, 10 00:01:23.062 --> 00:01:27.130 and the video was published on December 19. 11 00:01:28.320 --> 00:01:35.030 In that video, a study of the three harp songs of Revelation was presented, 12 00:01:36.320 --> 00:01:47.530 and in doing so it became apparent who must be the sole composer of at least two of these songs: 13 00:01:48.670 --> 00:01:56.880 the Elijah who was prophesied in Malachi 4, verses 5 and 6. 14 00:01:57.870 --> 00:02:01.120 Let’s quickly read the corresponding prophecy. 15 00:02:02.170 --> 00:02:09.760 "Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: 16 00:02:10.570 --> 00:02:19.575 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, 17 00:02:19.585 --> 00:02:23.530 lest I come and smite the earth with a curse." 18 00:02:25.820 --> 00:02:36.980 In that video, it was clearly shown who this prophesied Elijah is and whether his mission was successful or not. 19 00:02:39.320 --> 00:02:50.567 I would like to clarify that in the prophecy, it can only be the real and only Elijah, 20 00:02:50.577 --> 00:02:55.929 who was taken alive into heaven about 2, 21 00:02:55.939 --> 00:02:57.760 900 years ago. 22 00:02:59.160 --> 00:03:06.520 Exactly that one God sends, or rather He has already sent him. 23 00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:13.780 And in that video, Elijah draws a rather sobering conclusion. 24 00:03:15.230 --> 00:03:22.527 His mission has failed, and therefore the curse, or wrath of God, 25 00:03:22.537 --> 00:03:29.936 which means the seven last plagues and the great time of trouble, 26 00:03:29.946 --> 00:03:32.630 is no longer avertible. 27 00:03:33.920 --> 00:03:40.750 The sealing of the entire 144,000 has not taken place. 28 00:03:41.460 --> 00:03:46.270 They did not learn the harp song in Revelation 14. 29 00:03:47.460 --> 00:03:51.680 Only very few followed the call to learn it. 30 00:03:53.530 --> 00:03:58.850 This is the sad starting point for today’s video. 31 00:04:00.220 --> 00:04:03.260 Anyone who is waiting for a bearded, 32 00:04:03.260 --> 00:04:08.945 wrinkled old man with a wooden staff who comes down from heaven 33 00:04:08.955 --> 00:04:14.540 with drums and trumpets and causes a great stir in Jerusalem— 34 00:04:15.430 --> 00:04:19.470 for such a person today’s video is not suitable. 35 00:04:20.580 --> 00:04:24.740 It is not said in prophecy how Elijah comes. 36 00:04:25.770 --> 00:04:31.470 Do you think he would come in his heavenly glory and thus turn hearts? 37 00:04:32.890 --> 00:04:34.660 Where would faith be then? 38 00:04:35.580 --> 00:04:41.901 Or would he come in humble form, just as Jesus once came to the earth, 39 00:04:41.911 --> 00:04:47.590 and with a final message of repentance attempt to turn hearts? 40 00:04:49.560 --> 00:04:55.440 Anyone who imagines something else will wait for Elijah in vain. 41 00:04:57.250 --> 00:05:03.439 Such a person would rather believe Trump, who promises a golden age, 42 00:05:03.449 --> 00:05:10.630 and would by no means expect the biblical plagues or the end of the world now. 43 00:05:12.630 --> 00:05:23.437 However, whoever, has grasped the significance of Elijah’s report has only one remaining universal question: 44 00:05:23.447 --> 00:05:27.240 How long will the time of trouble be? 45 00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:29.710 How long will the last persecution be? 46 00:05:30.330 --> 00:05:32.470 How long will Armageddon be? 47 00:05:33.100 --> 00:05:38.450 When will the Lord rescue the faithful remnant? 48 00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:41.370 Someone might object: 49 00:05:42.280 --> 00:05:48.830 But in the penultimate and absolutely worth-seeing video "The Closing of the Scroll," 50 00:05:49.950 --> 00:05:58.850 Brother John presented March 16, 2026, for the First general Resurrection and the general ascension, 51 00:05:59.400 --> 00:06:02.020 and showed some confirmations for this date. 52 00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:10.850 Well, that video was preached on December 6 and published on December 12. 53 00:06:12.140 --> 00:06:21.974 There was still hope that by the first days of Hanukkah, which began on December 17, 54 00:06:21.984 --> 00:06:26.540 the wise virgins would come and enter. 55 00:06:28.880 --> 00:06:33.620 All this we conveyed in almost all recent videos. 56 00:06:34.580 --> 00:06:41.210 But the almost unimaginable and yet foreseeable has occurred. 57 00:06:42.010 --> 00:06:46.170 Not enough hearts allowed themselves to be turned. 58 00:06:46.840 --> 00:06:56.680 Yes, only a small company recognized Elijah in his work and learned the harp song from Revelation 14. 59 00:06:57.490 --> 00:07:05.013 The world has, to put it mildly, slipped into yet another emergency situation, 60 00:07:05.023 --> 00:07:09.933 and emergency situations require special measures, 61 00:07:09.942 --> 00:07:14.080 and they can influence the planned course. 62 00:07:15.330 --> 00:07:22.060 Does this remind you of an emergency situation in past years during the work of Elijah? 63 00:07:25.090 --> 00:07:32.380 How often have we spoken of our sacrificial prayer on October 19, 2016? 64 00:07:33.570 --> 00:07:45.218 Back then, no 144,000 were visible either, although Jesus’ return, according to everything we recognized at that time, 65 00:07:45.228 --> 00:07:46.600 was imminent. 66 00:07:47.650 --> 00:07:57.320 In faith we asked God to grant more time for the sealing of the 144,000 and not to return yet. 67 00:07:58.770 --> 00:08:06.380 Later we recognized that this prayer fulfilled Revelation 7, verses 2 and 3. 68 00:08:07.860 --> 00:08:14.350 "And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: 69 00:08:15.460 --> 00:08:25.440 and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, Saying, 70 00:08:25.590 --> 00:08:36.690 Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads." 71 00:08:38.160 --> 00:08:43.071 The angel was the constellation of Virgo, 72 00:08:43.415 --> 00:08:52.800 which rose from the east with the sun on the day of the prayer. 73 00:08:54.100 --> 00:09:03.550 The seal of the living God was seen as Jupiter, which sealed through a full circuit of the Mazzaroth. 74 00:09:04.880 --> 00:09:09.236 And Virgo stands for the church of Philadelphia, 75 00:09:09.246 --> 00:09:15.860 which spoke the prayer for more time and thereby halted the destruction. 76 00:09:17.020 --> 00:09:19.990 But all this should already be sufficiently known. 77 00:09:21.620 --> 00:09:33.230 After seven years of work, that is, from 2010 to 2016, we assumed that another seven lean years would come. 78 00:09:34.530 --> 00:09:44.370 Just as Pharaoh in Egypt dreamed when he first saw the seven fat and then the seven lean cows. 79 00:09:45.100 --> 00:09:54.940 Or when we considered Jacob’s story back then, we recognized that he first worked seven years to obtain Rachel. 80 00:09:55.760 --> 00:09:58.900 But nevertheless, he first received Leah. 81 00:10:00.370 --> 00:10:03.650 Then another seven years followed for Rachel. 82 00:10:04.940 --> 00:10:09.980 Ezekiel 39 also speaks of seven years of arduous time, 83 00:10:10.660 --> 00:10:17.658 just to name a few examples of why many Christians today quantify the 84 00:10:17.668 --> 00:10:24.250 great time of trouble or the time of the plagues as seven years. 85 00:10:25.300 --> 00:10:31.166 Now, the time since the sacrificial prayer in 2016 86 00:10:31.500 --> 00:10:38.390 had been granted so that the 144,000 could still be sealed and, 87 00:10:38.750 --> 00:10:43.540 according to Revelation 14, learn the song of the harpers. 88 00:10:44.380 --> 00:10:53.610 This was not actually a time of plagues, but a good time of sealing before the real plagues. 89 00:10:55.480 --> 00:11:05.740 But now the time for sealing has expired, as has been emphasized repeatedly in many videos. 90 00:11:06.480 --> 00:11:07.488 Therefore, 91 00:11:07.498 --> 00:11:14.601 one can also very well understand that the present emergency situation 92 00:11:14.611 --> 00:11:21.400 will be far greater and the consequences more severe than in 2016. 93 00:11:23.170 --> 00:11:30.840 The 144,000 did not recognize Elijah and did not learn the harp song. 94 00:11:31.630 --> 00:11:37.460 The curse, the plagues, are coming, for so it is prophesied. 95 00:11:38.370 --> 00:11:42.050 The only question is, what can still be done now? 96 00:11:42.900 --> 00:11:45.360 What is the command of the hour? 97 00:11:46.510 --> 00:11:51.280 Another prayer for extension is not found in Revelation. 98 00:11:53.740 --> 00:11:58.330 I don’t know whether you can even grasp the magnitude of this predicament. 99 00:11:59.440 --> 00:12:04.540 Some might lightly object that Jesus promised the following: 100 00:12:07.330 --> 00:12:15.726 "For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, 101 00:12:15.736 --> 00:12:17.260 nor ever shall be. 102 00:12:17.760 --> 00:12:22.273 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: 103 00:12:22.283 --> 00:12:25.750 but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened." 104 00:12:26.790 --> 00:12:32.620 But what must people do so that Jesus would shorten the time at all? 105 00:12:33.610 --> 00:12:38.260 Or do you think He does this anyway just because it is written here? 106 00:12:38.980 --> 00:12:42.560 What does "for the elect’s sake" mean? 107 00:12:43.790 --> 00:12:46.170 How would they express their will? 108 00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:51.200 And by how much would the time be shortened? 109 00:12:51.740 --> 00:12:55.030 From seven years to six and a half years? 110 00:12:56.110 --> 00:12:57.810 Or only by one day? 111 00:12:59.280 --> 00:13:02.200 But it could even become much worse. 112 00:13:02.970 --> 00:13:07.603 For if this 70th Jubilee year ends on March 20, 2026, 113 00:13:07.613 --> 00:13:15.120 with the sighting of the moon at or after the equinox and the new Jewish year begins, 114 00:13:15.860 --> 00:13:22.830 then the type of all release and restoration of what was lost is over. 115 00:13:25.080 --> 00:13:27.910 That would be a true tragedy. 116 00:13:29.040 --> 00:13:36.470 Do you recognize this original slide from the video "Is 3I/ATLAS the doomsday comet?" 117 00:13:39.050 --> 00:13:51.430 There we presented the lightning foretold in Matthew 24, which shines from the east, that is, from Leo, 118 00:13:51.910 --> 00:13:59.790 where it was first discovered at the time of the first woe, to the west. 119 00:14:02.750 --> 00:14:06.220 The west is where Aquarius is. 120 00:14:06.840 --> 00:14:13.800 Now, the lightning enters Aquarius, and that gives us an early date. 121 00:14:15.090 --> 00:14:22.040 But we should also look at when the lightning will leave Aquarius again here, 122 00:14:23.910 --> 00:14:33.400 in order to see what a possible plan B could be because of this non-appearance of the 144,000. 123 00:14:35.900 --> 00:14:39.420 And here is another original slide. 124 00:14:40.350 --> 00:14:45.542 In this video we said that the generally known 2, 125 00:14:45.552 --> 00:14:54.230 000 years after the crucifixion of Jesus in the year 31 end here in the year 2031, 126 00:14:55.960 --> 00:15:00.550 when the lightning reaches the west for the first time. 127 00:15:02.490 --> 00:15:05.553 If Jesus were to return now, 128 00:15:05.563 --> 00:15:12.728 then that would of course be the shortening of the time from that 129 00:15:12.738 --> 00:15:19.010 year 2031 back to our current Jubilee year 2025 to 2026. 130 00:15:20.610 --> 00:15:23.781 But now we should not be too hasty, 131 00:15:23.791 --> 00:15:32.480 because if things in Revelation do not come about as planned and an emergency situation arises, 132 00:15:33.280 --> 00:15:43.049 then Jesus also has a contingency plan, if no one were to get the idea of speaking a special sacrificial prayer, 133 00:15:43.059 --> 00:15:46.800 which we still have to find in Revelation. 134 00:15:48.290 --> 00:15:56.670 If Jesus were not to come in this Jubilee year 2025 to 2026, then when? 135 00:15:58.250 --> 00:16:09.844 Perhaps only in the next Jubilee year, which would begin again only after seven sabbatical-year cycles, that is, 136 00:16:09.854 --> 00:16:11.500 after 49 years. 137 00:16:12.490 --> 00:16:25.020 This 50th year would then only be in 2074 to 2075, if I haven’t miscalculated. 138 00:16:25.730 --> 00:16:27.030 Let’s look up. 139 00:16:27.680 --> 00:16:35.710 These spirals of F7 wind further and further in this direction. 140 00:16:36.620 --> 00:16:46.420 And here you see the end of the spirals in Aquarius at the outermost boundary of the constellation. 141 00:16:47.800 --> 00:16:53.770 When does the lightning, F7 leave the west forever? 142 00:16:55.270 --> 00:17:09.445 On June 4, 2075, shortly after the 71st Jubilee year will have ended in March or April, 143 00:17:09.455 --> 00:17:15.800 F7 leaves the west for the first time. 144 00:17:18.250 --> 00:17:24.610 I think this insight adds yet another shovelful of gravity. 145 00:17:26.060 --> 00:17:29.280 Think about it for a slightly longer moment. 146 00:17:31.270 --> 00:17:37.740 Instead of seven years, it could very quickly become another Jubilee cycle. 147 00:17:40.570 --> 00:17:46.705 And so that you don’t think this is pulled out of thin air, 148 00:17:46.715 --> 00:17:53.360 we recently heard a prophecy on YouTube that says exactly that. 149 00:17:53.360 --> 00:18:01.790 There the prophetess was shown that the last of the wheels of time, according to Ezekiel 1 or 10, 150 00:18:02.640 --> 00:18:10.822 which we perfectly understand as 3I/ATLAS and which probably describes 151 00:18:10.832 --> 00:18:16.900 the last of the four living time-indicating beings, 152 00:18:17.940 --> 00:18:29.690 remains in our earthly firmament within our ice shield until the time has expired. 153 00:18:30.850 --> 00:18:42.010 According to this prophecy, the time of trouble would have begun with the closest approach of 3I/ATLAS on December 19. 154 00:18:43.960 --> 00:18:48.550 We are actually surrounded by two ice shields. 155 00:18:49.310 --> 00:18:54.730 The inner shield would be the Kuiper Belt, which you see here. 156 00:18:56.410 --> 00:19:01.700 And much farther outside is the Oort Cloud. 157 00:19:04.320 --> 00:19:11.787 If one asks Grok to calculate roughly how long 3I/ATLAS would need 158 00:19:12.208 --> 00:19:17.465 to pass through the inner and the outer ice layer, 159 00:19:17.475 --> 00:19:21.510 one receives the following results. 160 00:19:22.670 --> 00:19:30.047 To pass through the inner ice layer it would need about 3 to 12 years, 161 00:19:30.057 --> 00:19:37.950 which would perfectly fit the variant with the seven-year time of trouble. 162 00:19:40.440 --> 00:19:45.173 And to reach the outer, thick Oort Cloud, 163 00:19:47.262 --> 00:19:55.230 Grok believes that 3I/ATLAS would need between 50 and 120 years. 164 00:19:56.530 --> 00:20:05.100 And just now we have discovered these 50 years here with the lightning, F7. 165 00:20:06.110 --> 00:20:12.880 So once again, let this sink in, dear friends, and take it truly seriously. 166 00:20:13.680 --> 00:20:20.580 These consequences that follow a persistent rejection of Elijah are dramatic. 167 00:20:22.330 --> 00:20:24.610 Once again back to this slide. 168 00:20:25.680 --> 00:20:36.190 Can you imagine what the enemy could do to the children of God in 7 or even 50 years? 169 00:20:37.910 --> 00:20:42.160 And then the question is, who are these elect? 170 00:20:44.220 --> 00:20:53.100 They are not likely the 144,000 in their full number, since they have not appeared at all up to now. 171 00:20:54.260 --> 00:20:57.300 Could you perhaps be meant by this? 172 00:20:58.290 --> 00:21:06.060 What have you done in these past days so that, because of your actions, the Lord would shorten the time? 173 00:21:07.440 --> 00:21:18.500 If you haven’t done anything or view the situation lightly, then you will likely not belong to these elect either. 174 00:21:19.620 --> 00:21:27.700 In the video "The Heavenly Concerts," Brother John described the emergency situation in such a way 175 00:21:27.800 --> 00:21:35.700 that there is a composer who taught the song to the authors in Paraguay, and they in turn, 176 00:21:36.220 --> 00:21:45.350 together with their harps, created and published articles and videos about the content of the song. 177 00:21:46.480 --> 00:21:58.320 Our few members worldwide would thus represent a tiny fraction of the entire, longed-for number of the 144,000. 178 00:21:59.530 --> 00:22:10.660 But just as with Abraham when he negotiated over Sodom, so today the number is by far not reached. 179 00:22:12.010 --> 00:22:22.300 The world should marvel at what these few people did in these days when the misery became obvious. 180 00:22:23.780 --> 00:22:32.130 As already mentioned, the last two sermons were given on December 6 and 13. 181 00:22:33.200 --> 00:22:41.660 Those who follow us on Telegram know that for December 16, that is, for the cornerstone-laying day, 182 00:22:42.400 --> 00:22:45.280 we scheduled a special morning meal, 183 00:22:46.170 --> 00:22:52.534 because we wanted to cleanse ourselves especially before the five following 184 00:22:52.544 --> 00:22:58.220 days of Hanukkah and the expected close of probation at the cross. 185 00:22:59.630 --> 00:23:08.230 But in the three days after the last sermon, we reflected deeply on what the command of the hour is. 186 00:23:09.260 --> 00:23:15.224 We set before our eyes the suffering and the destruction and all the 187 00:23:15.234 --> 00:23:20.750 possibilities that would come in another seven or fifty years, 188 00:23:21.520 --> 00:23:25.140 so that ultimately no one would be saved. 189 00:23:26.520 --> 00:23:29.597 We remembered 2016, 190 00:23:30.442 --> 00:23:39.500 and the motive from back then, which was and is and will probably always remain the same, 191 00:23:40.200 --> 00:23:46.620 namely what alone can touch the heart of our Creator in such moments. 192 00:23:47.410 --> 00:23:53.910 Moses prayed it, Paul likewise, and Jesus gave it Himself in reality. 193 00:23:55.800 --> 00:24:00.970 They all offered their eternal life for others. 194 00:24:02.190 --> 00:24:09.810 It is the highest standard of character that one can learn as a created being, 195 00:24:11.650 --> 00:24:20.390 and it is the most effective means to move the Lord in situations of extreme emergency, 196 00:24:22.740 --> 00:24:31.740 to allow the plan of redemption to still come about in the most merciful version possible. 197 00:24:33.440 --> 00:24:34.431 Once again, 198 00:24:34.441 --> 00:24:39.884 this morning meal with foot-washing of the church of Philadelphia 199 00:24:40.084 --> 00:24:45.060 on December 16 became a special sacrificial prayer, 200 00:24:45.660 --> 00:24:52.360 so that the suffering of the coming time, despite the non-appearance of the 144,000, 201 00:24:52.370 --> 00:24:55.870 would be shortened to the minimum possible. 202 00:24:56.970 --> 00:24:59.130 But the whole matter has a catch. 203 00:25:00.250 --> 00:25:06.362 We were able to find the prayer for an extension of time in Revelation 7, 204 00:25:06.372 --> 00:25:11.134 which referred to the sacrifice of Philadelphia in 2016, 205 00:25:11.144 --> 00:25:12.390 rather easily. 206 00:25:13.950 --> 00:25:22.600 But where in Revelation, and at what time, is there a prayer for the shortening of time? 207 00:25:23.670 --> 00:25:26.240 Where is this instruction found? 208 00:25:27.140 --> 00:25:28.510 How is it formulated? 209 00:25:29.890 --> 00:25:38.680 If we did not have the composer Elijah, we might possibly have spoken this sacrificial prayer, 210 00:25:39.410 --> 00:25:44.803 because this character trait is written into our hearts, 211 00:25:44.813 --> 00:25:55.010 but we would not have known from Revelation that it would also have corresponded to the will of the Lord. 212 00:25:56.500 --> 00:26:05.200 Through prayer and through study in the three days before the morning meal, Brother John discovered the following. 213 00:26:07.010 --> 00:26:11.790 The hint for the study again came from the said prophetess, 214 00:26:12.500 --> 00:26:19.409 who said that the seven thunders would be the time of the great time of trouble, 215 00:26:19.419 --> 00:26:22.950 when finally the full number of the 144, 216 00:26:22.960 --> 00:26:25.800 000 would come and do their work, 217 00:26:26.520 --> 00:26:29.080 namely to lead many to righteousness. 218 00:26:30.040 --> 00:26:33.720 Then Jesus would come and the plagues would fall. 219 00:26:34.810 --> 00:26:40.499 And this prompted Brother John to study Revelation 10 further, 220 00:26:40.509 --> 00:26:49.950 to see whether there is an indication there that somehow shortens or even prevents the seven thunders. 221 00:26:52.630 --> 00:27:00.670 Adventists understand some of these verses, because they were fulfilled by one of their pioneers. 222 00:27:01.390 --> 00:27:10.930 Let’s read what the apostle John saw in vision and how this prophecy was later fulfilled through William Miller. 223 00:27:12.260 --> 00:27:17.720 "And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: 224 00:27:18.490 --> 00:27:28.020 and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire: 225 00:27:28.360 --> 00:27:37.010 And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth, 226 00:27:37.550 --> 00:27:47.220 And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices." 227 00:27:49.790 --> 00:28:00.630 This open little book was the book of Daniel, chapter 8, which William Miller studied in the 1840s. 228 00:28:02.830 --> 00:28:07.740 It is about the 2,300 evenings and mornings. 229 00:28:08.090 --> 00:28:14.400 According to the text, Miller hears the seven thunders during this time. 230 00:28:16.230 --> 00:28:19.300 How does it continue? Let’s read. 231 00:28:20.210 --> 00:28:26.370 "And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: 232 00:28:28.330 --> 00:28:38.679 and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, 233 00:28:38.689 --> 00:28:40.810 and write them not." 234 00:28:43.350 --> 00:28:50.060 John indeed heard these thunders in vision, but did not write them down. 235 00:28:50.950 --> 00:28:52.097 That’s good. 236 00:28:53.100 --> 00:28:59.020 But how was it with William Miller in the fulfillment of this verse? 237 00:29:00.080 --> 00:29:02.020 Did he seal these thunders? 238 00:29:04.360 --> 00:29:08.600 What does it mean to seal them? 239 00:29:10.370 --> 00:29:13.270 Let’s read in Strong’s Concordance. 240 00:29:14.890 --> 00:29:25.000 "1. to stamp (with a signet or private mark) for security or preservation. 241 00:29:25.880 --> 00:29:30.450 2. to keep secret, to attest." 242 00:29:32.480 --> 00:29:41.157 And in the Bible it means "to set a seal, to seal up, to shut, to stop." 243 00:29:42.757 --> 00:29:47.920 Did Miller stop these seven thunders? 244 00:29:49.330 --> 00:29:54.390 Did he put a seal on them so that they would not occur? 245 00:29:56.210 --> 00:30:01.540 By what deed or action does one seal or stop something? 246 00:30:02.290 --> 00:30:03.360 What must one do? 247 00:30:04.570 --> 00:30:09.980 In order to understand this principle, what is really happening here, 248 00:30:10.700 --> 00:30:22.967 I created this diagram that explains Miller’s situation and shows that the same instruction comes again, as it were, 249 00:30:22.977 --> 00:30:24.130 in a loop. 250 00:30:26.820 --> 00:30:32.164 Here you see the sequence of Revelation, chapter 9, 251 00:30:32.919 --> 00:30:39.360 here is chapter 10, and here chapter 11. 252 00:30:40.810 --> 00:30:46.440 At the end of Revelation 9 we find the sixth trumpet. 253 00:30:47.390 --> 00:30:54.150 And back then the Millerites had a perfect fulfillment for the classical sixth trumpet. 254 00:30:56.200 --> 00:31:03.566 It was Josiah Litch who predicted the hour, day, month, and year 255 00:31:04.144 --> 00:31:11.710 mentioned in the sixth trumpet as August 11, 1840, 256 00:31:12.780 --> 00:31:23.220 when the Ottoman Empire indeed accepted guarantees from the great powers and thus fell. 257 00:31:24.490 --> 00:31:27.776 Encouraged by this classical fulfillment, 258 00:31:27.786 --> 00:31:34.990 it was clear to the Millerites that after the fulfillment of the sixth classical trumpet, 259 00:31:36.250 --> 00:31:42.710 the seventh would have to come, which would go along with the return of Christ. 260 00:31:44.630 --> 00:31:55.390 At that time Miller was studying the open little book, namely Daniel 8, especially verse 14, 261 00:31:55.990 --> 00:32:00.820 which deals with the 2,300 evenings and mornings. 262 00:32:01.670 --> 00:32:13.520 But the prophecy in Revelation 10 shows that seven thunders would speak and that they were heard. 263 00:32:14.500 --> 00:32:26.718 But then came the command to seal them and not to write them, or as we heard earlier, to stop them, 264 00:32:26.728 --> 00:32:30.420 so that they would not occur. 265 00:32:31.580 --> 00:32:41.130 And here is the conditional prophecy in this chapter that one must understand. 266 00:32:41.850 --> 00:32:51.230 What happens if the command is carried out, and what happens if the command is not carried out? 267 00:32:52.350 --> 00:32:55.790 It changes the course of events. 268 00:32:56.660 --> 00:33:03.330 And God obviously foresaw this and made provisions in the text. 269 00:33:05.290 --> 00:33:08.423 If the thunders had been sealed, 270 00:33:10.090 --> 00:33:19.380 then for the Millerites or later Adventists the oath would have come 271 00:33:20.130 --> 00:33:22.864 that there would be no more delay 272 00:33:24.464 --> 00:33:32.950 and that at the time of the seventh trumpet, the mystery of God would be finished. 273 00:33:33.840 --> 00:33:40.656 It is clear that the return of Jesus could have taken place promptly 274 00:33:40.666 --> 00:33:46.670 back then if the seven thunders had been sealed or stopped. 275 00:33:48.220 --> 00:33:56.460 But that is not how it happened, because with the wonderful fulfillment of the classical sixth trumpet 276 00:33:57.150 --> 00:34:02.610 and the deciphering of the longest prophetic timeline of the Old Testament, 277 00:34:03.430 --> 00:34:09.860 everything was clear to them that Jesus had to come—no doubt about it. 278 00:34:11.210 --> 00:34:20.280 But did the Millerites also think about the fact that they must have the 144,000 in full number? 279 00:34:21.300 --> 00:34:26.720 Did anyone think about the song of sacrifice from Revelation 14? 280 00:34:27.780 --> 00:34:31.270 Were their thoughts only on the return and on heaven? 281 00:34:32.540 --> 00:34:37.850 Or did they also think about the many people who had not yet been saved? 282 00:34:39.310 --> 00:34:43.620 Did they consider the agape love of Moses? 283 00:34:45.350 --> 00:34:55.200 This threatening time of the thunders, which we today understand as the time of trouble, was not really considered, 284 00:34:56.630 --> 00:35:03.830 and so nothing was undertaken to shorten it or to prevent it from happening. 285 00:35:05.820 --> 00:35:13.570 Thus it came to pass that Jesus did not return in the autumn of 1843 as hoped, 286 00:35:14.530 --> 00:35:23.230 because Miller counted a year zero in his calculation of the 2,300 years, even though there is no such thing. 287 00:35:24.920 --> 00:35:28.890 This error was immediately recognized and corrected. 288 00:35:29.570 --> 00:35:32.760 Then Samuel Snow perfected the calculation. 289 00:35:34.200 --> 00:35:43.965 But on the Day of Atonement in the year 1844, Jesus still did not come, because Daniel 8, 290 00:35:43.975 --> 00:35:49.670 verse 14 says that the sanctuary would be cleansed, 291 00:35:50.280 --> 00:35:55.060 which was the beginning of the investigative judgment and not the return. 292 00:35:56.490 --> 00:36:06.370 And so the eaten little book, which was sweet in the mouth while the Millerites were still in joyful hope, 293 00:36:07.380 --> 00:36:18.280 suddenly became bitter in the belly when it became clear that one had the date right, but misunderstood the event. 294 00:36:20.191 --> 00:36:22.457 And the end of the story reads: 295 00:36:24.035 --> 00:36:33.051 "Thou must prophesy again." So here there is already the indication of a loop. 296 00:36:34.680 --> 00:36:41.160 We all know the seven thunders, and Brother John referred to them again in one of his recent videos. 297 00:36:43.270 --> 00:36:55.170 The High Sabbath list from 1841 up to the double stop in 2015. 298 00:36:56.800 --> 00:37:03.437 To prophesy again means that a second Miller would arise, 299 00:37:03.447 --> 00:37:15.430 who toward the end of the seven thunders of William Miller would again begin to decipher the trumpets. 300 00:37:17.290 --> 00:37:21.928 He would again come to the sixth trumpet, 301 00:37:23.712 --> 00:37:30.785 and then there would again be a test of the seven thunders, whether this time, 302 00:37:30.795 --> 00:37:32.922 in the repetition, 303 00:37:32.932 --> 00:37:36.970 the seven thunders would be sealed. 304 00:37:39.840 --> 00:37:46.760 Let’s read here about the second Miller, whom you hopefully know very well. 305 00:37:48.700 --> 00:37:57.222 The loop begins again with the trumpet cycles starting from 2014, 306 00:37:57.822 --> 00:38:01.680 after the seven thunders of William Miller ended. 307 00:38:02.710 --> 00:38:08.450 Currently, we are once again at the end of the 6th trumpet. 308 00:38:09.260 --> 00:38:13.310 Fire, smoke, and brimstone—you remember our videos. 309 00:38:15.050 --> 00:38:25.200 This time, our open little book is the Revelation deciphered with biblical astronomy. 310 00:38:27.670 --> 00:38:32.933 And once again, these thunders are being heard, 311 00:38:32.943 --> 00:38:41.220 which would mean a possible 7-year or even 50-year period of tribulation. 312 00:38:43.230 --> 00:38:53.880 Has the "second Miller" and his church of Philadelphia "sealed" this impending time of thunder this time? 313 00:38:56.170 --> 00:39:03.470 This is the loop that God built into chapter 10 of Revelation. 314 00:39:05.350 --> 00:39:14.580 It should now have become clear that the seventh trumpet will only sound and the mystery be revealed 315 00:39:15.230 --> 00:39:25.280 if these seven thunders of the threatening time of trouble are stopped and sealed. 316 00:39:28.570 --> 00:39:38.550 By what kind, by what deed or action does one seal or stop a judgment of God? 317 00:39:39.767 --> 00:39:40.840 What must one do? 318 00:39:41.870 --> 00:39:51.564 Remember the dreadful report of Elijah that his mission was not successful because by far not 144, 319 00:39:51.574 --> 00:39:56.510 000 people appeared who had learned the harp song. 320 00:39:57.960 --> 00:40:06.650 In 2016 we already had an emergency situation, and what touched the heart of God back then? 321 00:40:07.870 --> 00:40:10.280 I say it again and again. 322 00:40:12.090 --> 00:40:17.850 Emergency situations often require extreme measures. 323 00:40:18.750 --> 00:40:24.229 And Moses showed it when God wanted to wipe out the entire people 324 00:40:24.239 --> 00:40:29.370 of Israel in the wilderness because they were so rebellious. 325 00:40:31.220 --> 00:40:39.320 But Moses knew that from these twelve tribes the Messiah would also come. 326 00:40:40.510 --> 00:40:49.670 Moses was aware of this predicament, what it would mean if this people were wiped out. 327 00:40:51.150 --> 00:41:02.360 And he resorted to the utmost that humans can do to move God in such seemingly hopeless situations. 328 00:41:05.850 --> 00:41:10.083 We do not have a rigid God, 329 00:41:11.194 --> 00:41:19.240 but our Creator is the perfect Father, and He hears and responds to us humans. 330 00:41:20.850 --> 00:41:27.682 And He is touched in His heart especially when the deeds and actions 331 00:41:27.692 --> 00:41:33.710 of His children correspond to the highest divine character. 332 00:41:35.200 --> 00:41:44.360 And this is the self-sacrificing prayer with all its consequences. 333 00:41:46.080 --> 00:41:47.093 Let’s read. 334 00:41:48.490 --> 00:41:57.360 "And Moses returned unto the LORD, and said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of gold. 335 00:41:59.300 --> 00:42:11.760 Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin--; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written. 336 00:42:12.860 --> 00:42:22.516 And the LORD said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book." 337 00:42:22.526 --> 00:42:29.960 It is unmistakable that Moses offered to be struck from the book of life. 338 00:42:32.220 --> 00:42:38.420 This does not mean to suffer the first death, as a martyr has to suffer it. 339 00:42:40.070 --> 00:42:52.390 To offer to be erased from the book of life means to offer eternal life for others. 340 00:42:54.380 --> 00:43:04.080 And only this is what can avert the presently threatening time of the seven thunders, 341 00:43:04.540 --> 00:43:14.260 whether it would be seven years, or seven times seven sabbatical-year cycles until 2075. 342 00:43:15.970 --> 00:43:23.370 It is no longer about whether the curse or the terrible time of trouble or the seven plagues will come or not. 343 00:43:24.350 --> 00:43:27.810 They will come; Malachi 4 is clear on that. 344 00:43:29.340 --> 00:43:39.642 But it is about whether this dreadful time until the return will last long and become cruel for the 144, 345 00:43:39.653 --> 00:43:42.020 000 and for the martyrs. 346 00:43:42.950 --> 00:43:51.225 Or whether the Lord will be moved to compassion and allow His coming to still take place 347 00:43:51.235 --> 00:43:59.030 in this Jubilee year despite the non-appearance of the full number of the 144, 000. 348 00:44:01.100 --> 00:44:07.844 It must ultimately be understood that Revelation has to be lived through 349 00:44:07.854 --> 00:44:13.370 in order to actively do the right thing at the right time. 350 00:44:14.230 --> 00:44:18.070 There is only one church that prophesies again. 351 00:44:19.570 --> 00:44:20.750 Think of the loop. 352 00:44:22.530 --> 00:44:28.340 No Seventh-day Adventist can explain this to you. 353 00:44:29.750 --> 00:44:33.310 Can you see how easily mistakes are made? 354 00:44:34.490 --> 00:44:41.830 Can you see that the deciphering of the mystery of God is an extremely demanding task? 355 00:44:43.160 --> 00:44:50.500 Can you see how all of heaven is watching us—indeed like a spectacle—whether 356 00:44:50.510 --> 00:44:55.040 there is at least a small group that succeeds? 357 00:44:56.960 --> 00:45:05.780 Can you now better understand the pressure, the burden, and the responsibility resting on Elijah? 358 00:45:07.960 --> 00:45:19.827 Now, what do you think we as the small church of Philadelphia did on the cornerstone-laying day, December 16, 359 00:45:19.837 --> 00:45:25.270 in order to move God to turn His clock once more? 360 00:45:28.480 --> 00:45:33.773 Those who follow us on Telegram know that we gave an invitation 361 00:45:33.783 --> 00:45:39.150 to this special morning meal with foot washing using this card. 362 00:45:41.950 --> 00:45:51.185 With all the knowledge up to this point, can you now understand why the Lord promised to bless, 363 00:45:51.195 --> 00:45:55.170 from this cornerstone-laying day onward? 364 00:45:57.010 --> 00:46:03.936 It should have become clear that this time the seven thunders were sealed and that, 365 00:46:03.946 --> 00:46:07.440 despite the curse according to Malachi 4, 366 00:46:07.810 --> 00:46:15.450 the Lord has shortened the time so that His return will still take place in this Jubilee year. 367 00:46:16.650 --> 00:46:23.850 Instead of seven or fifty years, three months of the time of trouble are to suffice. 368 00:46:25.000 --> 00:46:34.885 If that is not an immense blessing, especially for the 144,000 and for the martyrs, 369 00:46:34.895 --> 00:46:39.410 then I don’t know what a blessing is. 370 00:46:41.030 --> 00:46:48.272 Also consider that in Haggai 2 the Lord gave a second promise, 371 00:46:48.282 --> 00:46:55.280 namely that He wants to make Zerubbabel like a signet ring. 372 00:46:57.660 --> 00:47:04.220 Remember the Strongs that we read earlier for the word "to seal"? 373 00:47:06.170 --> 00:47:10.190 It was "to stamp with a signet ring," we read. 374 00:47:13.230 --> 00:47:19.932 Does it make perfect sense now why it had to be exactly on this day to speak 375 00:47:19.942 --> 00:47:25.840 this sacrificial prayer for the shortening of the time of thunder? 376 00:47:27.150 --> 00:47:35.880 Do you now know why it says here in Haggai 2 that Zerubbabel was "chosen" 377 00:47:37.270 --> 00:47:47.300 and why it says in Matthew 24 that the Lord, for the sake of the "elect", would shorten the time? 378 00:47:48.700 --> 00:47:56.680 Do you now understand whom Zerubbabel represents today and who the elect are? 379 00:47:58.120 --> 00:48:07.330 I hope you understand that no one from Philadelphia feels so particularly worthy as to be called chosen. 380 00:48:09.760 --> 00:48:12.480 And yet it seems to be so. 381 00:48:13.750 --> 00:48:20.587 Hopefully you have recognized that the study of Revelation and the solving 382 00:48:20.597 --> 00:48:26.500 of the mystery of God is not as simple as many assume it to be. 383 00:48:28.050 --> 00:48:40.190 It requires full dedication to study, and one must enter the modern school of the ancient prophet, Elijah. 384 00:48:41.450 --> 00:48:44.250 I can personally testify to this. 385 00:48:44.950 --> 00:48:48.160 God knew exactly why He would send him. 386 00:48:49.750 --> 00:48:58.902 Before I show you one more biblical proof that God has accepted the prayer, 387 00:48:58.912 --> 00:49:07.200 please stop the video here and read our morning-meal vow carefully. 388 00:49:09.270 --> 00:49:21.070 Perhaps one or another will be touched and moved and will join in the prayer or vow in full faith. 389 00:49:22.580 --> 00:49:34.180 You know, God is time, and He can, if He wills, take your supplication as if it had been spoken on December 16. 390 00:49:36.060 --> 00:49:39.240 May the Holy Spirit now be with you. 391 00:49:44.630 --> 00:49:50.210 After this content, which hopefully has touched your hearts, 392 00:49:50.220 --> 00:49:57.000 I would like to direct you to the well-known story in the life of David, 393 00:49:57.610 --> 00:50:02.030 who once had his people numbered, although he should not have done so. 394 00:50:02.970 --> 00:50:07.760 He wanted to know how strong his army was, but he should have trusted God. 395 00:50:08.430 --> 00:50:10.400 God took this very badly. 396 00:50:11.237 --> 00:50:12.364 Let’s read. 397 00:50:12.940 --> 00:50:16.930 "And David's heart smote him after that he had numbered the people. 398 00:50:17.480 --> 00:50:22.400 And David said unto the LORD, I have sinned greatly in that I have done: 399 00:50:23.260 --> 00:50:31.050 and now, I beseech thee, O LORD, take away the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly. 400 00:50:32.550 --> 00:50:41.120 For when David was up in the morning, the word of the LORD came unto the prophet Gad, David's seer, saying, 401 00:50:41.680 --> 00:50:47.291 Go and say unto David, Thus saith the LORD, I offer thee three things; 402 00:50:47.301 --> 00:50:51.540 choose thee one of them, that I may do it unto thee. 403 00:50:52.460 --> 00:51:02.950 So Gad came to David, and told him, and said unto him, Shall seven years of famine come unto thee in thy land? 404 00:51:03.710 --> 00:51:09.520 or wilt thou flee three months before thine enemies, while they pursue thee? 405 00:51:10.340 --> 00:51:14.140 or that there be three days' pestilence in thy land? 406 00:51:15.080 --> 00:51:20.160 now advise, and see what answer I shall return to him that sent me. 407 00:51:22.110 --> 00:51:29.746 And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait: Let us fall now into the hand of the LORD; 408 00:51:29.756 --> 00:51:35.620 for his mercies are great: and let me not fall into the hand of man." 409 00:51:38.400 --> 00:51:43.708 Whoever does not know this account should read this chapter, 410 00:51:43.718 --> 00:51:52.200 for it shows that God’s heart can indeed be moved when He sees the repentance of sinful people. 411 00:51:54.150 --> 00:51:59.345 In any case, God gave three terrible options to choose from: 412 00:51:59.355 --> 00:52:08.090 seven years of famine, three months of flight from enemies, or three days of pestilence in the land. 413 00:52:09.160 --> 00:52:16.391 We know that God chose the three days of pestilence for David and, out of compassion, 414 00:52:16.401 --> 00:52:21.240 restrained the angel when he wanted to strike Jerusalem. 415 00:52:22.350 --> 00:52:32.180 The seven years of famine were already fulfilled in the time of Elisha, and this can be read in 2 Kings 8, verse 1. 416 00:52:33.530 --> 00:52:37.230 Which evil remains that should also be fulfilled? 417 00:52:39.420 --> 00:52:44.200 The three months of flight in the time of trouble. 418 00:52:45.240 --> 00:52:53.500 And that is exactly the time from the sacrificial prayer on December 16, 2025, 419 00:52:54.012 --> 00:53:02.456 until our once-again valid date of ascension of March 16, 2026, 420 00:53:02.967 --> 00:53:07.090 which Brother John already presented in another video. 421 00:53:07.980 --> 00:53:14.210 But caution, I said once-again valid date of March 16, 422 00:53:15.140 --> 00:53:17.642 because without this prayer, 423 00:53:17.652 --> 00:53:26.040 offering our eternal lives for a merciful and rapid harvest in a three-month time of trouble, 424 00:53:26.630 --> 00:53:34.550 March 16, 2026, would have become invalidated. 425 00:53:36.100 --> 00:53:41.066 I hope you understand this, and I hope you understand 426 00:53:41.600 --> 00:53:52.341 that offering eternal life in a vow was neither a joke for Moses, 427 00:53:52.351 --> 00:53:55.480 nor is it easy for us. 428 00:53:57.150 --> 00:54:03.130 If you promise something to God, then you must stand by it. 429 00:54:04.590 --> 00:54:10.340 "When thou shalt vow a vow unto the LORD thy God, thou shalt not slack to pay it: 430 00:54:10.350 --> 00:54:14.102 for the LORD thy God will surely require it of thee; 431 00:54:14.112 --> 00:54:16.160 and it would be sin in thee. 432 00:54:16.870 --> 00:54:21.210 But if thou shalt forbear to vow, it shall be no sin in thee. 433 00:54:22.080 --> 00:54:28.600 That which is gone out of thy lips thou shalt keep and perform; even a freewill offering, 434 00:54:29.020 --> 00:54:36.150 according as thou hast vowed unto the LORD thy God, which thou hast promised with thy mouth." 435 00:54:38.920 --> 00:54:43.820 Whether the Lord ultimately accepts this offering, that is, 436 00:54:44.310 --> 00:54:48.854 laying the crown of eternal life at His feet, 437 00:54:48.864 --> 00:54:57.640 or not—whether it will actually become necessary or not—now lies solely with the Lord. 438 00:54:58.700 --> 00:55:07.320 As has been mentioned many times, special emergency situations require special measures, whatever the cost. 439 00:55:07.510 --> 00:55:08.646 Why? 440 00:55:08.920 --> 00:55:16.561 Because ultimately it is about God winning the conflict, the harvest being complete, 441 00:55:16.571 --> 00:55:20.200 the plan of redemption being fulfilled, 442 00:55:21.060 --> 00:55:31.382 and the Father being vindicated of every accusation that Satan has brought and brings against Him, 443 00:55:31.392 --> 00:55:37.280 through loyal human witnesses and their selfless deeds. 444 00:55:39.150 --> 00:55:50.330 Throughout the entire universe, every seed of doubt that Satan has sown must be eradicated once and for all. 445 00:55:51.230 --> 00:55:56.020 Do you now understand the high calling of the 144,000? 446 00:55:57.120 --> 00:56:00.760 Do you now understand the song a little better? 447 00:56:02.280 --> 00:56:08.990 Feel free to read this old but extremely important article on this topic, 448 00:56:09.000 --> 00:56:17.170 so that everyone acquires the right motivation for the remaining three months of flight. 449 00:56:18.740 --> 00:56:22.820 This will likely be a compressed Armageddon. 450 00:56:24.860 --> 00:56:32.003 Even if the long time of the seven thunders, which Miller did not seal or stop, 451 00:56:32.013 --> 00:56:37.970 was not hoped for and brought many hardships over the long years, 452 00:56:39.030 --> 00:56:45.490 this time nevertheless taught us how to become a true Christian. 453 00:56:46.590 --> 00:56:55.350 Brother John summarized this in the video "The Forgotten Feasts." Read this again in peace. 454 00:56:57.200 --> 00:57:06.830 Perhaps it was precisely this insight of the High Sabbath list that shaped and prepared us in such a way 455 00:57:07.200 --> 00:57:19.134 that this time-no-longer loop needs to be made, but that the seventh trumpet, with which Jesus will raise the saints, 456 00:57:19.144 --> 00:57:23.010 can still sound in this Jubilee year. 457 00:57:24.270 --> 00:57:25.990 Praise be to God! 458 00:57:26.880 --> 00:57:35.840 Finally, let me mention, visit our Telegram channels, especially the Seven-Plagues news. 459 00:57:37.190 --> 00:57:46.980 For with this changed emergency situation, we must also closely observe the outpouring of the plagues, 460 00:57:47.250 --> 00:57:53.610 how they are fulfilled, how they increase, and when they fully arrive. 461 00:57:54.810 --> 00:57:56.068 Stay with us; 462 00:57:56.078 --> 00:57:59.486 we inform on our Telegram channels, 463 00:57:59.496 --> 00:58:09.420 and of course we will also accompany you in the coming time with further videos and further insights. 464 00:58:09.950 --> 00:58:17.460 I hope you have understood that emergency situations can somewhat change the course. 465 00:58:19.080 --> 00:58:23.200 We wish you all the best and God be with you. 466 00:58:23.303 --> 00:58:24.373 Amen.
