The Fifth Seal In Sharp Focus: "How Long, O Lord...?" (Revelation 6:10) by Michael E. Pfeil
9 And when He broke the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God, and because of the testimony which they had maintained;
10 and they cried out with a loud voice, saying, "How long, O Lord, holy and true, wilt Thou refrain from judging and avenging our blood on those who dwell on the earth?"
11 And there was given to each of them a white robe; and they were told that they should rest for a little while longer, until the number of their fellow servants and their brethren who were to be killed even as they had been, should be completed also. (Revelation 6:9-11)
Is the fifth seal the judgment of God as is taught by those who view the rapture as happening before the tribulation period? This is what the Scriptures proclaim about the fifth seal martyrs:
· They appear in Heaven under the throne of God.
· They were slain because of the word of God.
· They were slain because of the testimony which they maintained.
· They cried out to God to judge those who shed their blood.
· They were given white robes (garments of the redeemed).
· They were ushered into Heaven, a place open only to believers in Christ.
An in-depth examination of the fifth seal reveals that it cannot be the judgment of God. This and other startling truths cause the Pre-Trib rapture interpretation to crumble!

BREAKING NEWS: Intensive and extensive and expensive and even pensive research has just discovered that the well-known pretribulation rapture is really and actually a SEVEN-stage coming. For proof look closely at I Thess. 4:13-18:
(1) The Lord descends.
(2) The shout.
(3) The archangel's voice.
(4) The trumpet of God.
(5) The dead rise.
(6) The caught up (rapture).
(7) The meeting in the air.
I just left a space so you can fill it in with your gasps, shortness of breath, and clutching your heart. Yes, it's true - seven (count them) stages. Would I or anyone else try to kid you? Lindsey, LaHaye, Ice, Jeffrey, Van Impe, Hagee, Missler, Strandberg etc. would never TRY to kid you. For proof of this, just Google articles like "Pretrib Rapture Diehards," "Deceiving and Being Deceived," "Pretrib Rapture Dishonesty," "Pretrib Rapture - Hidden Facts" and "Pretrib Rapture Secrecy" - all by a secret writer known only as D.M.
BTW, for more info on the exciting seven-stage rapture, Google Joe Ortiz's "End Times Passover" blog which can out-blog any blog that knows how to blog!
