THE SEVENTH DAY - Bible Numbers For Life

mark h lanewww.biblenumbersforlife.comTHE SEVENTH DAY“let no man go out on the Seventh Day. So the people rested on the Seventh Day” (Exo 16) RIPSUMMARYWe propose that the first mention of Sabbath in the Bible, in Exodus 16, speaks to a prophetic“Seventh Day” of length 40 years, which the world entered in 2017 and will end in 2056.The Seventh Day will be a time of upheaval in the world order. The Seventh Day includes theRapture and culminates in Daniel’s 70th Week: 2050 to 2056.The Seventh Day will mark the end of Christians (Rapture) and Jews (2053) on earth.1EVIDENCE FOR OUR THESISWe have long asserted the Seven Seals of Revelation precede the Rapture. However, till nowwe have not identified the Seven Seals in history.We will demonstrate by historical fulfilment that the first Six Seals have already been opened,each in its own 40 year prophetic “Day”, occurring consecutively, beginning in 1777.KEY TO UNLOCKING THE MYSTERYThe 1977th verse of the Torah is Exodus 16 v 29 “See! [big mystery revealed] He gives you on thesixth day bread for two days.” Thus: 1977 was the beginning of the Sixth Day. Exodus 16 v 35“the children of Israel ate manna for forty years” implies each prophetic “Day” is 40 years.For evidence to support the one-year one-verse method please see our paper: Come Away.1The 144,000 Jews who pledge allegiance to Messiah Jesus will make it through, but the Jews who refuse to takethe Mark will be slaughtered; then resurrected in the Millennium shortly after the return of Christ. It is theprivilege of all people to accept Jesus as Messiah before these terrible events. Save your eternal soul: Do it today!1 Page

Dividing each age is acrisis event. Beneath are the prophecies of the Book of Revelations. The Seven Seals begin inBirth Pangs and extend to include all of Daniel’s 70th Week.

mark h laneFIRST SEALwww.biblenumbersforlife.com1777-1816And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow;and a crown was given to him: and he went forth conquering Jesus said: “For there shall arise false Christs and shall shew great signs and wonders;insomuch they shall deceive the very elect. Behold, I have told you before.” (Matt. 24 v 24-25)What is a false Christ? A false Messiah. A Messiah because he brings deliverance to his peopleand his nation. False because he achieves victory by the sword (and bow).Napoleon was the specific false Christ of history whose arrival marked the opening of the Seals.His specialty was artillery: “had a bow”. Although a common man he became Emperor: “acrown was given him” (i.e. not inherited). He relentlessly made war: “went forth conquering”.Napoleon embodied the Revelations 6 prophecy: Napoleon saved France. When he tookpower the chaos of the French revolution subsided. He conquered the foes of France on everyside. He brought prosperity and pride. He was also a law-giver and judge.Did he do miracles? Signs and wonders? To all of Europe his victories on the battlefield weremiraculous. Repeatedly Napoleon successfully defeated coalitions of many great powers.Napoleon’s surname was Bo-naparte. When the living creature in Revelation 6 called him forthhe cried “Come!”. The Hebrew word for “come!” is ‘Boh’! This word also links Napoleon withanother “Boh” of Bible prophecy: Bo-az in the Book of Ruth. Ruth [i.e. France] gave up herhistoric loyalty to ancient royal blood lines and married the rich and mighty “rider” of her day.We have papers with detailed Bible predictions of other False Messiahs: Genghis Khan andAdolf Hitler. There will be many false Christs! Note: The Beast of Revelation will not be a falseChrist. He is the Man of Lawlessness who will be revealed after the Rapture (2 Thess. v 6-12).3 Page

mark h lanewww.biblenumbersforlife.comSECOND SEAL1817-1856And another horse went out that was fiery red: and power was given to him that satthereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and therewas given unto him a great sword.British General Wellington defeated Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815 (scene above).With the demise of Napoleon, the British Empire had undisputed in power on land. Togetherwith the power of the British Navy, Britain had no serious rival for world hegemony.Britain began an expansionist program which ultimately added 10,000,000 square miles ofterritory and 400 million people. Her influence extended far beyond her territories. Due to adominant position in world trade Britain controlled China, Argentina, and Siam.British troops were known as ‘redcoats’: “horse that was red”.Britain imposed its force on every continent: “power was given to take peace from the earth”.Britain’s official policy was ‘splendid isolation’ but in fact Britain meddled in affairs of othernations incessantly: “that they should kill one another”. Divide and conquer.Britain carved up the world map: “there was given to him a great sword”. This continued up tothe Balfour Declaration in 1917: which established boundaries for states in the Middle East.The Indian Rebellion and Opium Wars in this period caused great loss of life.4 Page

mark h laneTHIRD SEALwww.biblenumbersforlife.com1857-1896And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balancesin his hand. And I heard a voice say: ‘A measure of wheat for a penny, and threemeasures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine’.This prophetic ‘Day’ features a “black horse”: emphasizing the predominant color of the peopleunder the control of the powers that be! In this case, not military powers but legal powers: “apair of balances in his hand” (universal symbolic of jurisprudence).Slavery was abolished in the British Empire in 1833; in India in 1843; and in America in 1865 (inthe North in 1863). Passage of anti-slavery laws curtailed the worst abuses of workers. But, theplantation mentality continued world-wide and with it the practice of extracting labor in returnfor the barest subsistence wage: “a measure of wheat for a penny [day’s labor]”.In the West-Indies, America, India, Ceylon, Indonesia, and Africa the world-wide colonialeconomy reached massive proportions: hundreds of millions of people were oppressed.Unjust laws such as excessive land taxes, salt taxes, denial of the right to vote, segregation ofpersons of different color besmirched this era and were not reversed for a hundred years.Owners of plantations and shareholders in colonial corporations (e.g. East India Company)profited handsomely: “see though hurt not the oil and the wine”.As the British Empire waned, greedy Western nations poised to strike out on a second wave ofimperial conquest. A stalemate of opposing interests resulted in the Great War: the next seal!5 Page

mark h lanewww.biblenumbersforlife.comFORTH SEAL1897-1936And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death,and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth partof the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with thebeasts of the earth.Which of the world’s ethnic people offered their sons as soldiers to be cannon fodder for thegreat powers that dueled in World War I? And who were the people whose cities and landwere pulverized? Almost entirely pale skinned people: English, English colonists, French,Germans, Russians, and Americans: “and behold a pale horse”.World War I (1914-18) was a deadly conflict: 20 million deaths and 20 million wounded. Deathsincluded 9.7 million soldiers and 10 million civilians: “and his name that sat on him was Death”The nature of the conflict was surreal and never before imagined. Canisters of poison gascovered the land in ghoulish green clouds. Bombs fell out of the sky from aerial balloons.Artillery guns of gigantic explosive power and long range pummelled the landscape into a pulp.Rapid firing machine guns were perfected which mowed down advancing troops like a scythethrough crops: blood soaked soil slashed across Europe like a scar: “and Hell followed with him”The war was waged in Europe and the Asia Minor: “a fourth part of the earth”Deaths arose from battle: “sword”; and many casualties away from the battle: “hunger”.This war gave us new categories of war machines: planes and tanks: “beasts of the earth”.As if all this was not enough the 1918 Spanish Influenza killed 20 to 50 million “and with death”.6 Page

mark h laneFIFTH SEALwww.biblenumbersforlife.com1937-1976I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word ofGod, and for the testimony which they held: And they cried with a loudvoice, saying: ‘How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge andavenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?’The violence of World War I caused intellectuals across Europe to question the establishedorder. New philosophies were invented to explain how such things came to be. MarxistLeninists observed that whether as oppressed workers [3rd Seal] or as sacrificial soldiers [4thSeal] capitalists oppressed workers. Socialism strived to bring power to the people. NationalSocialism offered Germany a new “altar” on which to offer sacrifices to a new “god”.But Communism and National Socialism gave rise to totalitarianism, which proved to be nopanacea. The new powers in Europe were rabid. They increased loyalty to their cause byinflaming ancient hatreds. Jews found themselves trapped: “under the altar”.War was unleashed between the opposing philosophic views. Efforts to purify Germany of thepeople blamed for the loss of World War I resulted in full scale genocide. Torah honoring Jewswere massacred for their faith: “slain for the word of God and for the testimony”.But not only Jews were killed in the millions. There were Stalinist purges, the starvation ofUkraine, Maoist purges, and the napalming of Indo-China: non-stop large scale genocides.Why did this happen? The opening of the first Seal marked the ‘Great Falling Away’. Newlycreated America was built on the philosophy of self-rule according to man’s judgment: Scripturewas set aside as a rule for life. This could only lead to sin. But, since the French revolutionEurope was already far down this path: callous to sin and dismissive of God’s judgment.7 Page

mark h laneSIXTH SEALwww.biblenumbersforlife.com1977-2016And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and thesun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; And the stars of heavenfell to the earth, even as a fig tree casts her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and islandwere moved out of their places. And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the richmen, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hidthemselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; And said to the mountains and rocks:‘Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sits on the throne, and from the wrath of theLamb: For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?’In 1945 National Socialism was defeated. By 1977 Soviet Communism was discredited. Thesefailures did not persuade intellectuals that humanism was a false hope. Instead they concludedhumanism according to the American brand of consumerism was the way. The apostasy wasincurable: Western nations dove head first down the slippery slope of denying God’s authority.Honor and respect for inspired Scripture was erased from the affairs of nations: no more publicprayers or 10 Commandments in classrooms. The Holy Spirit: “Sun” was blotted out: “becameblack”. Christian religions: “Moon” were tarnished and disdained: “became as (woman’s)blood”. Fathers, mothers, and school teachers: “stars of heaven” who previously espoused andupheld Biblical faith became worldly minded, carnal and foolish: “fell to the earth”. Theimplausible Evolution Theory replaced faith in a Creator God: “heaven departed as a scroll”.Old authorities were cast off “every mountain and island were moved”. Governments “kings ofthe earth” and “the rich men” made a Devil’s bargain: they surrendered their sovereignty toachieve material gains: e.g. European Union. Soon all people and nations became servants tothe whims of global corporations and banks: “fall on us and hide us”. But by 2017 people beganto experience calamities: terrorism, disasters, civil strife and wondered: “who shall stand?”8 Page

mark h lanewww.biblenumbersforlife.comSIXTH SEAL (part two)1977-2016Exo. 16 v 29And it shall come to pass, that on the sixth day they shall prepare that whichthey bring in; and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily. And Moses andAaron said to all the children of Israel: ‘At even, then ye shall know that theLORD hath brought you out from the land of Egypt’.The joint appearance of these two historic events: the abundance of material goods on the 6thday and rejection of God’s authority on the 6th day were predicted in the Torah.Exodus 16 describes the 6th day as exceedingly abundant in material rewards: “it shall be twiceas much”. Earnings of workers will be more than they can consume. During the 6th day amiddle class will emerge in Western post-Christian nations that enjoys a rise in standard ofliving. Schools will multiply so all children are educated. Advances in science will cure diseases.It will all seem as if the American brand of Humanism is making the world a better place.Yet, “at even”, meaning at the end of the “Day”, there will be a gathering darkness, whichcovers the whole world, and fills the hearts of the glutted over-fed Israelites with foreboding:“ye shall know the LORD has brought you out of the land of Egypt” (i.e. from plenty to poverty).The tribe of Israel which is prophetic of America is Ephraim. The tribe which is prophetic ofGreat Britain is Manasseh. These were the two sons of Joseph born during the time of hisprivilege and power in Egypt. Their mother was an Egyptian: the daughter of the priest of On.The boys were thoroughly Egyptian in all their ways. They reached maturity before grandfatherJacob and their uncles sojourned to Egypt and could tell them any different.America and Great Britain are prophetically linked to Bible characters who in their heydayenjoyed great material blessings but who did not honor the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.9 Page

mark h lanewww.biblenumbersforlife.comTHE SEVENTH DAY2017-2056Heb. 12 v 25-29See that ye refuse not Him that speaks. For if they escaped not who refused Him that spoke onearth, MUCH MORE SHALL WE NOT ESCAPE, IF WE TURN AWAY FROM HIM THAT SPEAKS FROMHEAVEN: Whose voice then shook the earth: but now He hath promised, saying, ‘YET ONCEMORE I WILL SHAKE NOT THE EARTH ONLY BUT HEAVEN’. And this word, ‘Yet once more’,signifies the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that thosethings which cannot be shaken may remain. Since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot bemoved, let us have grace, THAT WE MAY SERVE GOD ACCEPTABLY WITH REVERENCE ANDGODLY FEAR: FOR OUR GOD IS A CONSUMING FIRE.Since 1777 Western nations of Judeo-Christian heritage turned completely away from JesusChrist; as they saw the success of Humanism in every facet of society they lost their fear of God:Great Falling AwayBirth of United StatesMan Supreme in Government1st SealNapoleon BonaparteMan Supreme in Battle2nd SealBritish EmpireMan Supreme in World Rule3rd SealAbuse of Lowest WorkersMan Supreme in Economy4th SealWorld War 1Man Supreme in Destruction5th SealWWII & GenocidesMan Supreme in Judgment6th SealHumanism EverywhereMan Supreme in WisdomThe warning of Hebrews Chapter 12 (above) will be fulfilled on the Seventh Day.

And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with
