Did You Know That Matthew 24 Has All The 6 Seals From Revelation 6 And In Exact Order? by Geoffrey Grider for Now The End Begins
All the years that I have been reading and studying Matthew 24 and Revelation, and not until the Holy Spirit showed me tonight, did I ever connect that Matthew 24 contains all 6 Seals from Revelation chapter 6.
Matthew 24 is in perfect harmony with the Seal judgments in Revelation 6
The book of Revelation is one of the most awe-inspiring books in all the Bible, and it tells of things that “must shortly come to pass”. It talks about the Church age, the Rapture of the Church, the opening of the “sealed book” of prophecy, and in chapter 6 we see the start of the time of Jacob’s trouble. The Great Tribulation.
“And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?” Matthew 24:3 (KJV)

On our weekly Bible study radio show that we do for two hours every Sunday evening from 9:00 PM – 11:00 PM EST, we looked in depth at chapter 6. Well, I studied for tonight’s show as I do with all the shows, but tonight was different because He gave me what I call a “live revelation” into what we were studying. That is to say that He led me to teach something that even I was learning for the first time. Isn’t the Holy Spirit amazing when He does stuff like that? Because what He showed me was not in my notes, nor in my memory banks. I had never stopped to connect them before, and in fact have never read any commentary on what I am about to show you. There is an astounding connection between what Jesus is teaching in Matthew 24 about the time of the Tribulation, and with what John sees in Revelation 6 about the same period of time.
Seal #1: The start of the time of Jacob’s trouble reveals the false messiah – Antichrist!
In Revelation 6, we see the start of the Tribulation which opens with the appearance of the Antichrist:
“And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.” Revelation 6:1,2 (KJV)
Now look what Jesus says is the first thing to happen in Matthew 24:
“And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.” Matthew 24:3-5 (KJV)
