It is fascinating to see the 6 seals
that are found in (Rev 6), ….that they are also found in the same order in (Matt 24).
[The 7th seal is found in Rev 8:1]
Jesus’ disciples asked Him about the signs that would directly precede His coming and the end of the world (i.e., “aion” or age - there are many more ages to come folks - Eph 2:7 King James)..… in (Matt 24). The events that the Lord Jesus details there are also found in (Rev 6).
What the Lord Jesus describes in (Matt 24) are described as “seals" in (Rev 6). The 6th seal is an earthquake.......and is also in (Matt 24:29),....but it is only inferred there….i.e, you don't see the word "earthquake" there in (Matt 24:29),...but you know it happens there because the stars fall after the earthquake in (Rev 6:12,13). That is,
in (Rev 6:12) you actually see the word “earthquake” that is only inferred in (Matt 24:29),…whereas, in (Matt 24:29) you see what happens “after" the earthquake. What we know from the stars falling etc., is that the earthquake has happened according to (Rev 6:12,13).
.
You also have earthquake(s) earlier spoken of (Matt 24:7) in a general sense,..in various places etc.,...whereas the 6th seal earthquake is all by itself.
.
Here is the order as found in (Matt 24 and Rev 6)
.
All Scripture references: see: King James.
.
AntiChrist(s) - Matt 24:5/Rev 6:2
Wars. - Matt 24:6/Rev 6:4
Famines. - Matt 24:7/Rev 6:5,6
[Death/pestilences] - Matt 24:7/Rev 6:7,8
Martyrdom. -Mat 24: 9-11/Rev 6: 9-11
Earthquake. - Matt 24:29 c.f. Rev 6:12
.
And the 7th seal is found in (Rev 8:1).
Note also how the fig tree (i.e., Israel's religious system) is also discussed in (Matt 24:32; Rev 6:13). Also, to understand these passages, and all passages in the Scriptures, study them (2 Tim 2:15) with your "right division" grid in your mind, giving you the context, by which you will know who the passage is talking to, and the timing of it. The "ages to come," starting with the book of Hebrews and continuing on through the book of Revelation, or the "ages to come" etc., deal with Israel and the Jews in the tribulation (last 7 years) time period. The Lord Jesus Christ in (Matt 24), or in "time past," is prophetically speaking about that future (ages to come) time period in the (Matt 24) passage. Both passages (Matt 24; Rev 6) have to do with Israel in the last 7 years.
