The big prophecy we are watching is the 6th trumpet war. We constantly see and hear things in the news that draw us closer and closer to the fulfillment of this prophecy.
However many people don’t believe this war is going to happen soon because of what they have been taught. Many people believe that the rapture is going to happen before the seals, trumpets, and vials ever happen. People have this preconceived notion that the seals, trumpets, and vials all happen during the tribulation. The two main reasons for this are they have been taught that the tribulation is the wrath of God and that the book of Revelation is in chronological order. The problem is neither one of these are true.
Revelation 12:12 shows us that the tribulation is the wrath of Satan.
Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. (Revelation 12:12 KJV)
This will be the time of Satan’s final attempt to corrupt humanity and Satan will do this through the Antichrist. Revelation 13:2 and Revelation 13:4 show us that the dragon gave him, the beast, his power. Revelation 12:9 and Revelation 20:2 reveal to us that the dragon is Satan. So Satan will pour out his wrath through the Antichrist. This is why we find the Antichrist warring against the saints in Daniel 7:25 and Revelation 13:7.
Also the book is not in chronological order. If it is then why does The Lord come back in Revelation 11:15 and the Antichrist begin to rule in Revelation 13? That just doesn’t make sense.
Look at the seals, trumpets, and vials as three vantage points of the end time period. The seals are the long story, the trumpets are the short story, and the vials are the real short story. We know this is true because they each end at the same event. They all culminate at the battle of Armageddon and the second coming of Jesus Christ. If you will look at the 6th seal, the 7th trumpet, and the 7th vial you will see that they end at the same event. Matthew 24:29-31 also records the same prophecy.
Challenge these things that I have told you and study them out for yourself. I am telling you these things because I want you to be ready and have understanding.

I have a question who is the bible talking about in Revelations 6:11… and how does it make a connection with what you explained above
This passage of scripture refers to all of the saints that have been killed for Jesus’ namesake. And that they are waiting for for their brothers to be killed in like manner before they come back with Jesus for the second coming and the battle of Armageddon.
so does that mean that thoughts are not the saints that have already been caught up in the rapture? pleas email me Steves_Education@yahoo.com
I believe that endtimeministries has the best interpretation of the end time
I thank God you are teaching the Truth the way I understand it. I fear for the Christians who are trusting that they will not have to go through the Great Tribulation due to a false teaching that the rapture and the resurrection are different times. May the Lord open their eyes to the truth. It is true some will escape the Great Tribulation See the church of Philadelphia…Revelation 3:10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. As it was in the days of Noah.
Genesis 6:12-14
12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
..violence in all the land, Sodomy, Unbelief, scornful attitude to the preaching of the truth… a picture of the first resurrection ..no one left behind alive when the door was closed by God and taken up on the waters…Jesus is the water of life… Jesus is the ark of protection 21 And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man:22 All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died.
23 And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark. 21 And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man:
See Revelation chapter 19 …no one left alive after the first resurrection except the saints. 2 suppers … the marriage supper of the Lamb of God….Every one who are saved are called to this supper. 2 The great supper of God where all the carcases of the enemies of God lie.. ..God calls all the vultures of the air are to this supper
Im so grateful to The Lord for the teachers at Endtime Ministries. Irvin Baxter and the staff have shown good courage in going against the main stream (pre tribulation rapture) teaching in todays so called Church.
There is a big problem trying to reach people for The Lord in these last days (like Noah’s day) because most people in the world, including so called Christians, are not afraid of The Lord. So many times I have had debates with so called pastors and teachers that say 1 John 4:18 says we don’t need to fear God and we should not fear God. They go on preaching and teaching all about the love of God and leave out the Judgement and Wrath of God. They seem to think that the devil has control over all the bad stuff that happens and they totally ignore the fact that God is totally soverign over all things. Satan can do nothing without God’s approval. And most people today cannot believe that God would get angry and kill humans, let alone cast them into hell – He has before and He will do it again.
The other side of the problem is that many who do “believe” in the fear of God, jam it down the throats of everybody they can, and really get nasty about it without cause. So they lack love because they don’t know what it truly means to be afraid of The Lord. Love for The Lord is a direct result of fear of the Lord , then love for others is a result from love of The Lord. So to clairify what John says about love; is that we are not to have fear (of men, death, rejection,etc) in what God tells us to do, even if we will be killed, as many Christians have been and will be. So if we want to avoid punishment from God we need to fear Him, because only when we fear Him will we obey Him and this keeps us from sinning (Exodus 20:20). So, we need to share not just the plan of salvation in light of Who saves us and how, but what He saves us from (hell).
I’m so sick of the phrase “are you saved?” the question should be “Have you been washed in The Blood of Christ Jesus, and Baptized in water, and filled with The Holy Spirit?”. Another question that should be common in Christian conversation is “What Spiritual gift(s) has The Lord granted you?” In these last days the good details about The Lord’s great plan of Salvation is left to by-words and familiar phrases that are so watered down that people outside coming in don’t make it too big a deal to have The Lord after a couple of days in the world.
Today, many will say “no fear” of anything, and when they tell me this I tell them to come to the zoo with me and hand feed the hungry lions, suddenly they think of how fear can be a good thing. Once you can get people to understand fear is a good thing (I rarely get this far) then we build off of that. Until you can get a person to trully understand and agree what they are being saved from, they will not really be saved. An open heart/mind ( other religions of the world use this method) will not be enough to be able to truly understand The Lord. Being totally afraid of God is really the only way to begin to understand and agree with The Holy Scriptures, for the deception of the devil is widespread in this evil generation. People who are afraid of The Lord will do what He says, be full of faith, and stay near to The Lord because they constantly remember how the Angels, who were in the very Throne Room of The Lord, will be cast into the lake of fire for their lack of fear of God….what makes us better then them?
Lucifer (the devil) could not have developed pride unless he first lacked fear of The Lord. If anyone who is capable, yet not afraid of The Lord, then they do not have Him. Very few find the narrow gate, and even those who do find the narrow gate find it only as God draws them to Himself. We need to remember that the devil knows God and Scripture; this did not, and will not save him from the lake of fire….all part of God’s Master Plan.
Thank you Andy for this brief video. I have studied Revelation many times and never had explained to me that end of the bowls, trumpets and seals are at the same time. This is a well-stated point. Also to state so plainly that Revelation is not chronological helps me put events in perspective and in relation to each other.
Thank you
PLEASE HOW COULD I POST THIS TO FB…. I KNOW REALIZE…. SO MANY PEOPLE …… ARE UNAWARE OF THIS. AS.. I WAS TAUGHT THE SAME WAY……. THAT GOD WOULD COME AND TAKE HIS PEOPLE HOME….. SO SAD I WAS NOT AWARE …..AND REALIZE…. MANY OF MY OWN FAMILY MEMBERS WERE TAUGHT THE SAME THING IN A SPIRIT FILLED REVELATION TEACHING PROTESTANT CHURCH…. I KNOW WONDER WHAT ELSE MAYBE MISSING…… THANK YOU BROTHER BAXTER…. FOR OPENING THE EYES OF GODS CHILDREN ….. BUT PLEASE FIND A WAY TO EXPLAIN THIS TO THE MASSES………….
THANK YOU.. M. HLAVAC
God has set a time when all will know, “For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.” The sad fact is that most of humanity will be caught unprepared for that great day of reckoning.
I do believe that Jesus was revealing a time line that actually began over two thousand years ago and is continuing now toward Armageddon. I think the seals have been opened, but I am not sure about the trumpets. In my mind they could possibly start immediately before Daniel’s seventieth week and rapidly move to the set up of the anti-christ and on to Armageddon. The vials could be poured out as the enemies of God gather toward Armageddon.
No matter how it occurs, believers should exercise their influence to convince as many as will to turn to God and his kingdom. At a set time Jesus will appear and takes the believers out of the earth and those remaining suffer the wrath of God.
I agree with you. Just last night, I heard a pastor on TV say that we will be raptured out of here at the seventh trumpet, and we will not see the battle of Armageddon, nor any of the disasters listed in the trumpets, seals, or bowls come to pass, but two minutes before, he said the battle of Armageddon takes lace at the sixth trumpet. When I went to school, seven came after six. There is so much deception in this area, and I am wondering if these people will make it through or even notice the transition into the kingdom of the beast. If the rapture doesn’t happen as they think, will they just assume they are not there in history, and go along with the status quo, including taking the mark, or will they panic and accept the new world religion as true (because it will appear that God had abandoned them and/or [which the antichrist might use to pervert and prove he is the one, manipulating them]? Why else would Jesus state to not go into the wilderness or into the sanctuary if they say he is there? Why else also, does the Scripture say Jesus is coming at a time when you do not think He is… [because they believe in pre-tribulation rapture]? This issue has been on my heart for some time. Many will be lost, I think, because they have been deceived and led astray by Calvinistic doctrine. They believe a man’s ideology of the Scriptures, more than God. John Calvin was a heretic, a wolf in sheep’s clothing. he has deceived millions.
