The Rapture and the Marriage of the Lamb

Revelation is full of mystery, but as we progress further into the End of Days, I believe that we are better able to see through the mist.  New insight on one prophecy can bring new understanding on other prophecies.

We have recently started to argue that the opening of the Sixth Seal (Revelation 6:12-17) is connected to the destruction of Babylon (Revelation chapter 18) — a detailed argument can be found in the Topics write up, entitled “Babylon”.  If our argument, found in “Babylon”, is correct, that the opening of the Sixth Seal with bring about a cataclysmic natural event in America, then this has tremendous implications for other prophecies as well.

After the Sixth Seal is opened, which unleashes a cataclysmic natural event in America (aka Babylon), an image of a heavenly celebration is seen, found in Revelation 7:9-12,

After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;

10And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.

11And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,

12Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.

This is surly a scene from the Marriage of the Lamb!  In Revelation chapter 18, we are told that following the destruction of Babylon, the Marriage of the Lamb will happen, where Believers and Christ are to be wed.  I am not totally sure the implications of that, but it will be a joyous occasion in heaven!  Revelation 19:6-9 says,

And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.

7Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.

8And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.

9And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.

If the opening of the Sixth Seal results in the destruction of Babylon, then soon afterwards (at least before the Seventh Seal is opened) God will call up His Believers to Him in the Rapture, as they will be invited to the Marriage of the Lamb.

This site has been speculating that a cataclysmic eruption of a supervolcano will occur at the opening of the Sixth Seal, and that as 3 supervolcanos are located in America — the Yosemite Caldera being the most famous — there is a good chance that this event will take place in America.  This site has similarly speculated that the Whore of Babylon is the power behind the illegitimate Biden Administration.  Should we be correct in this speculation, the Whore of Babylon will fall, along with America — and the Beast will turn on the Whore and destroy her (Revelation 17:16).

It feels that a number of pieces of the puzzle are falling into place.  If the scenario laid out here is correct, then the good news is that God will rapture His Believers and we will all be invited to the Marriage of the Lamb.  The bad news is that we must first endure the opening of the Sixth Seal — but at least we will not have to endure the opening of the Seventh Seal and the Seven Trumpets that follow!
