A DEAFENING SILENCE!
The stars in the sky are now coming down toward the earth. The earth has turned dark as the sun ceases to shine. The earth shakes and quakes. The people of the world tremble in fear as they look directly into the face of God and see the true Christ. The man that they had thought was the Christ now pales in power. They want to hide and die, but no. Now, the SON begins to shine.
As we go to Chapter 8 of Revelation, we begin to see the opening of the 7th Seal. “When he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.” We see here in Verse 1 that there is a 30 minute period of silence in Heaven. In the first verse of chapter 7 we saw that the angels held back the winds from blowing on the earth to begin this period of silence. For these next few minutes, the praise, worship and singing in heaven are paralyzed. The angels knew it was coming, but now it is here. There are no words. Just silence. A deafening silence!
This is a very short chapter, but it is packed with enough power to silence Heaven. Stop here and just think about what that means. The wrath of Satan is suddenly halted. Supernatural signs in the heavens announce the glorious arrival of the one, true Christ Jesus coming on the clouds for His elect. His original chosen ones are sealed to fulfill His promise to them. The heavens are breathless. Now, only a deafening silence precedes the wrath of a just God. In the twinkling of an eye, at the sound of the first trumpet, it is here!

About the Book
I began the study of the subject of Christ's second coming and the end times in detail with much prayer and study. I must say that I have been intrigued with the book of Revelation for years. Through those years I have been rotating from position to position in reference to pre-trib, mid-trib and post-tribulation. As I would read various scriptures, they would seem to contradict each other and point to a specific, yet different time for the return of Christ on the clouds to gather His saints.
Perhaps you, too, have been confused about the timing of the second coming of Jesus and the end times. Maybe you, too, have changed your position a few times depending on the various scriptures you happen to be reading at the time. Or, is there a chance that you hold a particular position, but if pressed to support it, welllll?????
In addition to our own confusions and variations, there are the traditional beliefs and doctrines within the various churches that differ as much as the churches themselves. I have asked questions to pastors, deacons, Sunday School teachers and other faithful saints and have received widely differing opinions about this subject. There were none who could entirely support their positions with scriptures that did not conflict with their own opinions. The usual final response from all I have spoken with goes somewhat like this: "Well, these things are just not meant to be understood at this time."
UNTIL NOW, at least for me. This book shares with specific scriptural documentation that will remove all confusion about timing of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. I hope you are blessed by it.
About the Author
Ryan believes that Jesus Christ has given His authority to His church to continue to fulfill the Luke 4 commission given to Jesus. Like the first generation church; today's saints should be operating in the same power, with signs and wonders as the Holy Spirit confirms His Word.
For years, Ryan had been fascinated by the study of the return of Jesus for His Church. However, most of the scriptures were confusing and appeared even to be in conflict with one another. It was in the midst of sustained prayer that the answer came like a tidal wave. "Now, there is no conflict of scriptures, they fit like a hand on a glove." All the confusion is gone. Ryan shares these insights with his readers in his first book: Wake Up Church.
