The Second World War
Since we are dealing with the Bible. And it seemed that it has mentioned of the First World War... How about the Second World War? If the first World War was held back by the four angels, why was it followed with a second great war? Does the Bible also mention of this WW2?Why was the First World War in 1914 followed by the Second World War in 1939 when the first war was already held back?
When the act of "sealing" has started, the succeeding chapter tells us:
When he opened the seventh seal,
there was silence in heaven for about half an hour
Revelation 8:1, NIV
To make certain the equivalent of this "silence in heaven for about half an hour" in number of years, months, and days, we must remember that:
...with the Lord one day is as a thousand years
II Peter 3:8, NKJV
With man, a day is 24 hours. Thus,
1 day with the Lord = 1000 years with man, or
24 hours with the Lord = 1000 years with man
1 hour with the Lord = 1000/24 = 41 years and 8 months
1/2 hour = (41 yrs, 8 mos)/2
1/2 hour = 20 years and 10 months
So "half an hour" with the Lord is equal to 20 years and 10 months with man's time. But the prophecy says that the silence in heaven is "ABOUT half an hour" or not exactly half an hour. The Second World War started on September 1, 1939 while the First World War ended on November 11. 1918. Let us compute the number of years, months and days between the two world wars (using general rule):
TIME INTERVAL = LATEST TIME - EARLIEST TIME
Thus,
WW2 started Sept. 1, 1939:______1939___9___1 (minus)
WW1 ended Nov. 11, 1918:________1918__11__11
(equals)__________________________20___9__20
The "silence in heaven for about half an hour" is equivalent to 20 years , 9 months and 20 days, short of 10 days to be exactly "half an hour". This is precisely the fulfillment of the prophecy regarding the "silence in heaven for about half an hour".

Therefore, the two world wars seemed to be mentioned in the Book of Revelation.
If the Revelation mentioned of the "four angles"... who is this "other angel ascending from the east"?
🙂 Yep. That would be the next topic. After that, the key to the MYSTERY.
We're getting closer. But for now, I have to go. See you next time
