Know God’s Prophetic Framework This is a major key for understanding Bible prophecy. This is a key that relatively few professing Christians know. The truth is that Christ will return to set up a literal kingdom here on earth for a literal period of a thousand years. The book of Revelation describes a period of 3½ years leading up to the return of Christ. The first five seals of Revelation, outlined in Revelation 6, cover a period of 2½ years—the Great Tribulation of which Jesus spoke in Matthew 24., here is the true blood moon!! when the 6th seal is broken The sixth seal is the Heavenly Signs. The whole world will be put on notice when this event occurs. The Apostle John writes, “I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood. And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind. Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place” (Revelation 6:12–14) . The whole world will be shocked and terrified. Humanity will realize that the time of God’s judgment has come! The Heavenly Signs introduce the one-year prophetic time period known as the Day of the Lord, which is mentioned in some 30 prophecies in your Bible. The Day of the Lord, in end-time prophecy—the time preceding Christ’s second coming—is a period of one year (Isaiah 34:8; 63:4), following the Great Tribulation and the Heavenly Signs. This is the year of God’s punishment on the nations. And it culminates with the announcement of Christ’s return and the establishment of the Kingdom of God on earth. That is the exciting good news of prophecy! “Then the seventh angel sounded: and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, ‘The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!’” (Revelation 11:15). We should all look forward to the return of Christ. And we need to be spiritually preparing for that soon-coming event. As you can see, the Bible gives us an overall framework for prophecy. You need to understand that framework! sources: Tomorrows world/word of God aka Bible
