2 Thess. 2:3-4 – “Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away (apostasy) comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, …” (NKJV)

Parenthetical Visions

• They send fire to devour their enemies
• They shut up the sky so it will not rain for 3
½ years
• They turn the waters to blood
• They strike the earth with plagues
Similarities Both:
• Received divine revelation on a Mountain (Horeb & Carmel)
• Saw divine fire on Mt. Horeb
• Fasted 40 days and nights before God
• Erected an altar (Mt. Sinai / Mt. Carmel)
• Saw God’s fire consume the sacrifice (Lev.9:23-24 / 1 Kings 18)
• Were sent to and persecuted by Kings (Pharaoh / Ahab)
• One turned water to blood • The other stopped the rain for 3 ½ years
• Used a sword against the worshipers of gods (Ex.35:25-28/1 Kgs18:40)
• Divided the waters (Red Sea by his rod / Jordan River by his cloak)
• Translated to heaven east of the Jordon River
• Had a spirit-filled successor (Joshua / Elisha)
• Both of their successors divided the waters at the Jordan
• Appeared on the Mount of Transfiguration with Jesus (Mt.17:1-5)
• Last two prophets mentioned in the Old Testament (Mal.4:4-6)
Similarities
BOTH ARE EYEWITNESSES OF:
• The TRANSFIGURATION of Jesus
• The RESURRECTION of Jesus (“two men” — Luke 24:4).
• The ASCENSION of Jesus (“two men” — Acts 1:9-10).

3 Feasts of Israel
The interpretive key to unlock the significance of the
7th seal is the Feast of Israel.
• Feast of Passover (Lev.23:4-14) — 1st month
(Fulfilled historically in the Gospels)
• Feast of Pentecost (Lev.23:15-22) — 3rd month
(Fulfilled historically in Acts)
• Feast of Tabernacles (Lev.23:23-44) — 7th month
(Fulfilled experientially in Revelation)
-Feast of Trumpets –1st day (a call to repentance & cleansing)
-Day of Atonement – 10th day (the “sanctuary cleansing” from all sin)
-Feast of Booths – 15th day (the final ingathering of souls)
