The idea of the progressive close of probation in three stages has implications for our view of end time events. Namely, it gives the green light to making the seals, trumpets and plagues concurrent future events. About 15 years ago I noticed that the three all seemed to be concurrent and complementary in the same way that each of the visions of Daniel provides more details of the same periods of sacred history. But I felt I couldn't justify the interpretation because the SOP seemed to me to say probation closed for everyone at the beginning of the first plague.

But now that I've seen that's not the case, it removes that objection. That subject, the concurrent future fulfillment of the seals, trumpets and plagues would definitely be one for the 'new light' forum. But due to the limited interest in this topic here, I'll invite the memebers to visit my website shortly where I'll post a chart based on the above.

I know Bill Leversage (sp?), an Adventist evangalist, presents Revelation in that way but there are some significant differences in my approach. Once I post my chart which Daryl hasn't seen I'll see if he's willing to approve a link to it here or in the New Light forum.

I may not get to it posting my chart (which covers both the 'little time of trouble' and the 'great time of trouble') for a week or more. I'll have limited access to the interet for the next nine days while I visit my parents. In the mean time, blessings to you all and maranatha.

Mark,

When you are ready with the chart, go ahead and post the link here.

Thank you Daryl.

There is very little commentary. I've only included two notes below the chart that cover what I posted above and in the Thunders thread. If anyone has any questions or feedback feel free to post them.

To view the web version chart better you may need to zoom out one or two notches.
