Seal Up the Seven Thunders

A warm welcome to today’s video entitled “Seal Up the Seven Thunders.” The content of today’s video is, on the one hand, more than sad, because it logically follows on from the Elijah message of the last video by Brother John. On the other hand, this video will show what an otherwise rather hidden yet commanded prayer in Revelation, spoken at the right time, can accomplish.

The next slide presents the current dilemma without misunderstandings. Our last published video was entitled “The Heavenly Concerts.” Brother John preached the content on December 13 here to our congregation in Paraguay, and the video was published on December 19. In that video, a study of the three harp songs of Revelation was presented, and in doing so it became apparent who must be the sole composer of at least two of these songs:

the Elijah who was prophesied in Malachi 4, verses 5 and 6. Let’s quickly read the corresponding prophecy. “Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.” In that video, it was clearly shown who this prophesied Elijah is and whether his mission was successful or not. I would like to clarify that in the prophecy, it can only be the real and only Elijah, who was taken alive into heaven about 2,900 years ago.

Exactly that one God sends, or rather He has already sent him. And in that video, Elijah draws a rather sobering conclusion.

His mission has failed, and therefore the curse, or wrath of God, which means the seven last plagues and the great time of trouble, is no longer avertible. The sealing of the entire 144,000 has not taken place.

They did not learn the harp song in Revelation 14. Only very few followed the call to learn it. This is the sad starting point for today’s video.

Anyone who is waiting for a bearded, wrinkled old man with a wooden staff who comes down from heaven with drums and trumpets and causes a great stir in Jerusalem—for such a person today’s video is not suitable. It is not said in prophecy how Elijah comes. Do you think he would come in his heavenly glory and thus turn hearts? Where would faith be then? Or would he come in humble form, just as Jesus once came to the earth, and with a final message of repentance attempt to turn hearts? Anyone who imagines something else will wait for Elijah in vain.

Such a person would rather believe Trump, who promises a golden age, and would by no means expect the biblical plagues or the end of the world now. However, whoever, has grasped the significance of Elijah’s report has only one remaining universal question: How long will the time of trouble be? How long will the last persecution be? How long will Armageddon be? When will the Lord rescue the faithful remnant? Someone might object:

But in the penultimate and absolutely worth-seeing video “The Closing of the Scroll,” Brother John presented March 16, 2026, for the First general Resurrection and the general ascension, and showed some confirmations for this date. Well, that video was preached on December 6 and published on December 12. There was still hope that by the first days of Hanukkah, which began on December 17, the wise virgins would come and enter.

All this we conveyed in almost all recent videos. But the almost unimaginable and yet foreseeable has occurred. Not enough hearts allowed themselves to be turned.

Yes, only a small company recognized Elijah in his work and learned the harp song from Revelation 14. The world has, to put it mildly, slipped into yet another emergency situation, and emergency situations require special measures, and they can influence the planned course. Does this remind you of an emergency situation in past years during the work of Elijah? How often have we spoken of our sacrificial prayer on October 19, 2016? Back then, no 144,000 were visible either, although Jesus’ return, according to everything we recognized at that time, was imminent. In faith we asked God to grant more time for the sealing of the 144,000 and not to return yet.

Later we recognized that this prayer fulfilled Revelation 7, verses 2 and 3. “And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.” The angel was the constellation of Virgo, which rose from the east with the sun on the day of the prayer. The seal of the living God was seen as Jupiter, which sealed through a full circuit of the Mazzaroth.

And Virgo stands for the church of Philadelphia, which spoke the prayer for more time and thereby halted the destruction. But all this should already be sufficiently known. After seven years of work, that is, from 2010 to 2016, we assumed that another seven lean years would come.

Just as Pharaoh in Egypt dreamed when he first saw the seven fat and then the seven lean cows. Or when we considered Jacob’s story back then, we recognized that he first worked seven years to obtain Rachel. But nevertheless, he first received Leah.

Then another seven years followed for Rachel. Ezekiel 39 also speaks of seven years of arduous time, just to name a few examples of why many Christians today quantify the great time of trouble or the time of the plagues as seven years.

Now, the time since the sacrificial prayer in 2016 had been granted so that the 144,000 could still be sealed and, according to Revelation 14, learn the song of the harpers. This was not actually a time of plagues, but a good time of sealing before the real plagues. But now the time for sealing has expired, as has been emphasized repeatedly in many videos.

Therefore, one can also very well understand that the present emergency situation will be far greater and the consequences more severe than in 2016. The 144,000 did not recognize Elijah and did not learn the harp song. The curse, the plagues, are coming, for so it is prophesied.

The only question is, what can still be done now? What is the command of the hour? Another prayer for extension is not found in Revelation. I don’t know whether you can even grasp the magnitude of this predicament. Some might lightly object that Jesus promised the following:

“For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.”

But what must people do so that Jesus would shorten the time at all? Or do you think He does this anyway just because it is written here? What does “for the elect’s sake” mean? How would they express their will? And by how much would the time be shortened? From seven years to six and a half years? Or only by one day? But it could even become much worse. For if this 70th Jubilee year ends on March 20, 2026, with the sighting of the moon at or after the equinox and the new Jewish year begins, then the type of all release and restoration of what was lost is over. That would be a true tragedy. Do you recognize this original slide from the video “Is 3I/ATLAS the doomsday comet?”

There we presented the lightning foretold in Matthew 24, which shines from the east, that is, from Leo, where it was first discovered at the time of the first woe, to the west. The west is where Aquarius is. Now, the lightning enters Aquarius, and that gives us an early date.

But we should also look at when the lightning will leave Aquarius again here, in order to see what a possible plan B could be because of this non-appearance of the 144,000. And here is another original slide. In this video we said that the generally known 2,000 years after the crucifixion of Jesus in the year 31 end here in the year 2031, when the lightning reaches the west for the first time.

If Jesus were to return now, then that would of course be the shortening of the time from that year 2031 back to our current Jubilee year 2025 to 2026. But now we should not be too hasty, because if things in Revelation do not come about as planned and an emergency situation arises, then Jesus also has a contingency plan, if no one were to get the idea of speaking a special sacrificial prayer, which we still have to find in Revelation. If Jesus were not to come in this Jubilee year 2025 to 2026, then when? Perhaps only in the next Jubilee year, which would begin again only after seven sabbatical-year cycles, that is, after 49 years.

This 50th year would then only be in 2074 to 2075, if I haven’t miscalculated. Let’s look up.

These spirals of F7 wind further and further in this direction. And here you see the end of the spirals in Aquarius at the outermost boundary of the constellation. When does the lightning, F7 leave the west forever? On June 4, 2075, shortly after the 71st Jubilee year will have ended in March or April, F7 leaves the west for the first time. I think this insight adds yet another shovelful of gravity. Think about it for a slightly longer moment.

Instead of seven years, it could very quickly become another Jubilee cycle. And so that you don’t think this is pulled out of thin air, we recently heard a prophecy on YouTube that says exactly that. There the prophetess was shown that the last of the wheels of time, according to Ezekiel 1 or 10, which we perfectly understand as 3I/ATLAS and which probably describes the last of the four living time-indicating beings, remains in our earthly firmament within our ice shield until the time has expired. According to this prophecy, the time of trouble would have begun with the closest approach of 3I/ATLAS on December 19.

We are actually surrounded by two ice shields. The inner shield would be the Kuiper Belt, which you see here. And much farther outside is the Oort Cloud.

If one asks Grok to calculate roughly how long 3I/ATLAS would need to pass through the inner and the outer ice layer, one receives the following results. To pass through the inner ice layer it would need about 3 to 12 years, which would perfectly fit the variant with the seven-year time of trouble. And to reach the outer, thick Oort Cloud, Grok believes that 3I/ATLAS would need between 50 and 120 years.

And just now we have discovered these 50 years here with the lightning, F7. So once again, let this sink in, dear friends, and take it truly seriously. These consequences that follow a persistent rejection of Elijah are dramatic.

Once again back to this slide. Can you imagine what the enemy could do to the children of God in 7 or even 50 years? And then the question is, who are these elect? They are not likely the 144,000 in their full number, since they have not appeared at all up to now.

Could you perhaps be meant by this? What have you done in these past days so that, because of your actions, the Lord would shorten the time? If you haven’t done anything or view the situation lightly, then you will likely not belong to these elect either. In the video “The Heavenly Concerts,” Brother John described the emergency situation in such a way that there is a composer who taught the song to the authors in Paraguay, and they in turn, together with their harps, created and published articles and videos about the content of the song. Our few members worldwide would thus represent a tiny fraction of the entire, longed-for number of the 144,000.

But just as with Abraham when he negotiated over Sodom, so today the number is by far not reached. The world should marvel at what these few people did in these days when the misery became obvious. As already mentioned, the last two sermons were given on December 6 and 13. Those who follow us on Telegram know that for December 16, that is, for the cornerstone-laying day, we scheduled a special morning meal, because we wanted to cleanse ourselves especially before the five following days of Hanukkah and the expected close of probation at the cross.

But in the three days after the last sermon, we reflected deeply on what the command of the hour is. We set before our eyes the suffering and the destruction and all the possibilities that would come in another seven or fifty years, so that ultimately no one would be saved. We remembered 2016, and the motive from back then, which was and is and will probably always remain the same, namely what alone can touch the heart of our Creator in such moments.

Moses prayed it, Paul likewise, and Jesus gave it Himself in reality. They all offered their eternal life for others. It is the highest standard of character that one can learn as a created being, and it is the most effective means to move the Lord in situations of extreme emergency, to allow the plan of redemption to still come about in the most merciful version possible.

Once again, this morning meal with foot-washing of the church of Philadelphia on December 16 became a special sacrificial prayer, so that the suffering of the coming time, despite the non-appearance of the 144,000, would be shortened to the minimum possible. But the whole matter has a catch.

We were able to find the prayer for an extension of time in Revelation 7, which referred to the sacrifice of Philadelphia in 2016, rather easily. But where in Revelation, and at what time, is there a prayer for the shortening of time? Where is this instruction found? How is it formulated? If we did not have the composer Elijah, we might possibly have spoken this sacrificial prayer, because this character trait is written into our hearts, but we would not have known from Revelation that it would also have corresponded to the will of the Lord.

Through prayer and through study in the three days before the morning meal, Brother John discovered the following. The hint for the study again came from the said prophetess, who said that the seven thunders would be the time of the great time of trouble, when finally the full number of the 144,000 would come and do their work, namely to lead many to righteousness. Then Jesus would come and the plagues would fall.

And this prompted Brother John to study Revelation 10 further, to see whether there is an indication there that somehow shortens or even prevents the seven thunders. Adventists understand some of these verses, because they were fulfilled by one of their pioneers. Let’s read what the apostle John saw in vision and how this prophecy was later fulfilled through William Miller.

“And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire: And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth, And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.” This open little book was the book of Daniel, chapter 8, which William Miller studied in the 1840s.

It is about the 2,300 evenings and mornings. According to the text, Miller hears the seven thunders during this time. How does it continue? Let’s read.

“And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.” John indeed heard these thunders in vision, but did not write them down.

That’s good. But how was it with William Miller in the fulfillment of this verse? Did he seal these thunders? What does it mean to seal them? Let’s read in Strong’s Concordance. “1. to stamp (with a signet or private mark) for security or preservation. 2. to keep secret, to attest.”

And in the Bible it means “to set a seal, to seal up, to shut, to stop.” Did Miller stop these seven thunders? Did he put a seal on them so that they would not occur? By what deed or action does one seal or stop something? What must one do? In order to understand this principle, what is really happening here, I created this diagram that explains Miller’s situation and shows that the same instruction comes again, as it were, in a loop. Here you see the sequence of Revelation, chapter 9, here is chapter 10, and here chapter 11.

At the end of Revelation 9 we find the sixth trumpet. And back then the Millerites had a perfect fulfillment for the classical sixth trumpet. It was Josiah Litch who predicted the hour, day, month, and year mentioned in the sixth trumpet as August 11, 1840, when the Ottoman Empire indeed accepted guarantees from the great powers and thus fell. Encouraged by this classical fulfillment, it was clear to the Millerites that after the fulfillment of the sixth classical trumpet, the seventh would have to come, which would go along with the return of Christ. At that time Miller was studying the open little book, namely Daniel 8, especially verse 14, which deals with the 2,300 evenings and mornings.

But the prophecy in Revelation 10 shows that seven thunders would speak and that they were heard. But then came the command to seal them and not to write them, or as we heard earlier, to stop them, so that they would not occur.

And here is the conditional prophecy in this chapter that one must understand. What happens if the command is carried out, and what happens if the command is not carried out? It changes the course of events. And God obviously foresaw this and made provisions in the text.

If the thunders had been sealed, then for the Millerites or later Adventists the oath would have come that there would be no more delay and that at the time of the seventh trumpet, the mystery of God would be finished. It is clear that the return of Jesus could have taken place promptly back then if the seven thunders had been sealed or stopped.

But that is not how it happened, because with the wonderful fulfillment of the classical sixth trumpet and the deciphering of the longest prophetic timeline of the Old Testament, everything was clear to them that Jesus had to come—no doubt about it. But did the Millerites also think about the fact that they must have the 144,000 in full number? Did anyone think about the song of sacrifice from Revelation 14? Were their thoughts only on the return and on heaven? Or did they also think about the many people who had not yet been saved? Did they consider the agape love of Moses? This threatening time of the thunders, which we today understand as the time of trouble, was not really considered, and so nothing was undertaken to shorten it or to prevent it from happening.

Thus it came to pass that Jesus did not return in the autumn of 1843 as hoped, because Miller counted a year zero in his calculation of the 2,300 years, even though there is no such thing. This error was immediately recognized and corrected. Then Samuel Snow perfected the calculation. But on the Day of Atonement in the year 1844, Jesus still did not come, because Daniel 8, verse 14 says that the sanctuary would be cleansed, which was the beginning of the investigative judgment and not the return.

And so the eaten little book, which was sweet in the mouth while the Millerites were still in joyful hope, suddenly became bitter in the belly when it became clear that one had the date right, but misunderstood the event. And the end of the story reads: “Thou must prophesy again.” So here there is already the indication of a loop.

We all know the seven thunders, and Brother John referred to them again in one of his recent videos. The High Sabbath list from 1841 up to the double stop in 2015. To prophesy again means that a second Miller would arise, who toward the end of the seven thunders of William Miller would again begin to decipher the trumpets.

He would again come to the sixth trumpet, and then there would again be a test of the seven thunders, whether this time, in the repetition, the seven thunders would be sealed. Let’s read here about the second Miller, whom you hopefully know very well. The loop begins again with the trumpet cycles starting from 2014, after the seven thunders of William Miller ended.

Currently, we are once again at the end of the 6th trumpet. Fire, smoke, and brimstone—you remember our videos. This time, our open little book is the Revelation deciphered with biblical astronomy.

And once again, these thunders are being heard, which would mean a possible 7-year or even 50-year period of tribulation. Has the "second Miller" and his church of Philadelphia "sealed" this impending time of thunder this time? This is the loop that God built into chapter 10 of Revelation. It should now have become clear that the seventh trumpet will only sound and the mystery be revealed if these seven thunders of the threatening time of trouble are stopped and sealed.

By what kind, by what deed or action does one seal or stop a judgment of God? What must one do? Remember the dreadful report of Elijah that his mission was not successful because by far not 144,000 people appeared who had learned the harp song. In 2016 we already had an emergency situation, and what touched the heart of God back then? I say it again and again. Emergency situations often require extreme measures.

And Moses showed it when God wanted to wipe out the entire people of Israel in the wilderness because they were so rebellious. But Moses knew that from these twelve tribes the Messiah would also come. Moses was aware of this predicament, what it would mean if this people were wiped out.

And he resorted to the utmost that humans can do to move God in such seemingly hopeless situations. We do not have a rigid God, but our Creator is the perfect Father, and He hears and responds to us humans. And He is touched in His heart especially when the deeds and actions of His children correspond to the highest divine character.

And this is the self-sacrificing prayer with all its consequences. Let’s read. “And Moses returned unto the LORD, and said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of gold. Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin--; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written. And the LORD said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book.” It is unmistakable that Moses offered to be struck from the book of life.

This does not mean to suffer the first death, as a martyr has to suffer it. To offer to be erased from the book of life means to offer eternal life for others. And only this is what can avert the presently threatening time of the seven thunders, whether it would be seven years, or seven times seven sabbatical-year cycles until 2075.

It is no longer about whether the curse or the terrible time of trouble or the seven plagues will come or not. They will come; Malachi 4 is clear on that. But it is about whether this dreadful time until the return will last long and become cruel for the 144,000 and for the martyrs. Or whether the Lord will be moved to compassion and allow His coming to still take place in this Jubilee year despite the non-appearance of the full number of the 144,000.

It must ultimately be understood that Revelation has to be lived through in order to actively do the right thing at the right time. There is only one church that prophesies again. Think of the loop.

No Seventh-day Adventist can explain this to you. Can you see how easily mistakes are made? Can you see that the deciphering of the mystery of God is an extremely demanding task? Can you see how all of heaven is watching us—indeed like a spectacle—whether there is at least a small group that succeeds? Can you now better understand the pressure, the burden, and the responsibility resting on Elijah? Now, what do you think we as the small church of Philadelphia did on the cornerstone-laying day, December 16, in order to move God to turn His clock once more? Those who follow us on Telegram know that we gave an invitation to this special morning meal with foot washing using this card.

With all the knowledge up to this point, can you now understand why the Lord promised to bless, from this cornerstone-laying day onward? It should have become clear that this time the seven thunders were sealed and that, despite the curse according to Malachi 4, the Lord has shortened the time so that His return will still take place in this Jubilee year. Instead of seven or fifty years, three months of the time of trouble are to suffice. If that is not an immense blessing, especially for the 144,000 and for the martyrs, then I don’t know what a blessing is.

Also consider that in Haggai 2 the Lord gave a second promise, namely that He wants to make Zerubbabel like a signet ring. Remember the Strongs that we read earlier for the word “to seal”? It was “to stamp with a signet ring,” we read.

Does it make perfect sense now why it had to be exactly on this day to speak this sacrificial prayer for the shortening of the time of thunder? Do you now know why it says here in Haggai 2 that Zerubbabel was “chosen” and why it says in Matthew 24 that the Lord, for the sake of the “elect”, would shorten the time? Do you now understand whom Zerubbabel represents today and who the elect are? I hope you understand that no one from Philadelphia feels so particularly worthy as to be called chosen. And yet it seems to be so. Hopefully you have recognized that the study of Revelation and the solving of the mystery of God is not as simple as many assume it to be.

It requires full dedication to study, and one must enter the modern school of the ancient prophet, Elijah. I can personally testify to this. God knew exactly why He would send him.

Before I show you one more biblical proof that God has accepted the prayer, please stop the video here and read our morning-meal vow carefully. Perhaps one or another will be touched and moved and will join in the prayer or vow in full faith.

You know, God is time, and He can, if He wills, take your supplication as if it had been spoken on December 16. May the Holy Spirit now be with you.

After this content, which hopefully has touched your hearts, I would like to direct you to the well-known story in the life of David, who once had his people numbered, although he should not have done so. He wanted to know how strong his army was, but he should have trusted God. God took this very badly. Let’s read.

“And David's heart smote him after that he had numbered the people. And David said unto the LORD, I have sinned greatly in that I have done: and now, I beseech thee, O LORD, take away the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly.

For when David was up in the morning, the word of the LORD came unto the prophet Gad, David's seer, saying, Go and say unto David, Thus saith the LORD, I offer thee three things; choose thee one of them, that I may do it unto thee.

So Gad came to David, and told him, and said unto him, Shall seven years of famine come unto thee in thy land? or wilt thou flee three months before thine enemies, while they pursue thee? or that there be three days' pestilence in thy land? now advise, and see what answer I shall return to him that sent me.

And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait: Let us fall now into the hand of the LORD; for his mercies are great: and let me not fall into the hand of man.” Whoever does not know this account should read this chapter, for it shows that God’s heart can indeed be moved when He sees the repentance of sinful people. In any case, God gave three terrible options to choose from: seven years of famine, three months of flight from enemies, or three days of pestilence in the land.

We know that God chose the three days of pestilence for David and, out of compassion, restrained the angel when he wanted to strike Jerusalem. The seven years of famine were already fulfilled in the time of Elisha, and this can be read in 2 Kings 8, verse 1. Which evil remains that should also be fulfilled? The three months of flight in the time of trouble.

And that is exactly the time from the sacrificial prayer on December 16, 2025, until our once-again valid date of ascension of March 16, 2026, which Brother John already presented in another video.

But caution, I said once-again valid date of March 16, because without this prayer, offering our eternal lives for a merciful and rapid harvest in a three-month time of trouble, March 16, 2026, would have become invalidated.

I hope you understand this, and I hope you understand that offering eternal life in a vow was neither a joke for Moses, nor is it easy for us. If you promise something to God, then you must stand by it. “When thou shalt vow a vow unto the LORD thy God, thou shalt not slack to pay it: for the LORD thy God will surely require it of thee; and it would be sin in thee. But if thou shalt forbear to vow, it shall be no sin in thee.

That which is gone out of thy lips thou shalt keep and perform; even a freewill offering, according as thou hast vowed unto the LORD thy God, which thou hast promised with thy mouth.”

Whether the Lord ultimately accepts this offering, that is, laying the crown of eternal life at His feet, or not—whether it will actually become necessary or not—now lies solely with the Lord. As has been mentioned many times, special emergency situations require special measures, whatever the cost. Why? Because ultimately it is about God winning the conflict, the harvest being complete, the plan of redemption being fulfilled, and the Father being vindicated of every accusation that Satan has brought and brings against Him, through loyal human witnesses and their selfless deeds.

Throughout the entire universe, every seed of doubt that Satan has sown must be eradicated once and for all. Do you now understand the high calling of the 144,000? Do you now understand the song a little better? Feel free to read this old but extremely important article on this topic, so that everyone acquires the right motivation for the remaining three months of flight. This will likely be a compressed Armageddon.

Even if the long time of the seven thunders, which Miller did not seal or stop, was not hoped for and brought many hardships over the long years, this time nevertheless taught us how to become a true Christian. Brother John summarized this in the video “The Forgotten Feasts.” Read this again in peace.

Perhaps it was precisely this insight of the High Sabbath list that shaped and prepared us in such a way that this time-no-longer loop needs to be made, but that the seventh trumpet, with which Jesus will raise the saints, can still sound in this Jubilee year. Praise be to God! Finally, let me mention, visit our Telegram channels, especially the Seven-Plagues news. For with this changed emergency situation, we must also closely observe the outpouring of the plagues, how they are fulfilled, how they increase, and when they fully arrive.

Stay with us; we inform on our Telegram channels, and of course we will also accompany you in the coming time with further videos and further insights. I hope you have understood that emergency situations can somewhat change the course. We wish you all the best and God be with you.

Amen.
