Revelation 7

Revelation Chapter 7 contains one of the most difficult passages in the Bible. Someone, or something, of a count of 144,000 are sealed. What does that mean? Something to do with time, of course. In this case 144,000 days. It also provides the foundation for finding each of the tribes named in the chapter. This report provides the dates indicated by the story.

Background

Biblically speaking a "seal" is a thing used to sign documents. Judah’s seal was taken from him as collateral for payment for services of a prostitute and the discovery of the seal later would let the prostitute off the hook and identify Judah. This story provides the proof text for use of seals to identify tribes. This is how the concept of a seal is used in Revelation 7.

Since seals are placed on paper, typically a scroll, in the middle, the sealing period should be 12,000 days wide with the seal date on the middle day. Since 12,000 is an even number the sealing date must be two days wide. (Or else the range begins and ends mid day, allowing the seal to fall in the middle, near sunrise, on the given seal date.)

The start of the seal period is beyond the scope of this report. It basically begins at the end of the 7 times punishment.

The following report indicates the exact modern dates for each of the seal date periods indicated by the story in Revelation 7.

Notes

I have added another seal beyond the last tribe related seal. This date is the theoretical next seal date, not mentioned by name in Revelation 7. This date has many important prophetic stories dealing with the hidden or uncounted multitude.

This last seal is also the house church that Paul started in Acts 18:7 and is the main prophetic movement going on now.
