6th Seal Events (Present – 2030?)
Order & Timings Uncertain
Though the 7 sections of the scroll in John’s prophecy (also discussed in the D&C) contain events of 1000 year periods of earth’s history, the opening of those seals triggers a series of apocalyptic/end time events. Joseph Smith said the Book of Revelation is future tense from John’s day. There is much confusion about this among the saints, but I believe it is sufficiently clear that we put the events of the 6th and 7th seal as yet to be fulfilled. Notice that 6th seal events are predominantly Zion/American, and 7th seal events are primarily Jerusalem.
When the 6th seal is “opened”, there follows major earthquake, moon to blood, stars fall, etc.
Persecution of the righteous, commotion, famine, 7 years particularly hard as spoken of by Daniel.
Civil war 2 in the US
2024: Eclipses of 2017-2024 may indicate the 7 years of plenty, followed by the 7 years of famine 2024-2031.
Saints live off of food storage for around a year before deliverance to the New Jerusalem. Isaiah indicates it’ll be a little over a year living off of food storage. It could be sooner, could be later.
Joseph Smith is resurrected and leads the saints back to New Jerusalem. He also translates the sealed portion of the Book of Mormon, & rules as king of Israel under Christ.
The Lost Ten Tribes return from the north as a body with their scriptures and prophets. In the Egypt parallel, the original 10 brothers of Israel went to Egypt about 2 years into the famine. Miraculous ice highway created for them to come to Zion.
Exodus to the New Jerusalem. Perhaps this is the 3.5 years of the church in the wilderness. Some say the modern day mirror exodus like leaving Egypt of old was fulfilled in the days of Brigham Young who lead the latter-day saints to the west. We must however affirm that another major exodus is yet to come to the New Jerusalem in Missouri, lest many prophecies go unfulfilled.
The New Jerusalem is built by the saints and angels. People are gathered in Zion the New Jerusalem at Jackson County Missouri & thereabouts. All other places are at war with each other. Saints live at the New Jerusalem BEFORE the Second Coming in glory to the whole world (great and dreadful day), as stated in Moses 7:62, “62 And righteousness will I send down out of heaven; and truth will I send forth out of the earth, to bear testimony of mine Only Begotten; his resurrection from the dead; yea, and also the resurrection of all men; and righteousness and truth will I cause to sweep the earth as with a flood, to gather out mine elect from the four quarters of the earth, unto a place which I shall prepare, an Holy City, that my people may gird up their loins, and be looking forth for the time of my coming; for there shall be my tabernacle, and it shall be called Zion, a New Jerusalem.”
The 144,000 are called in the 6th seal, they consist of many from the returned 10 lost tribes. They are the final missionary fleet. Their number consists of angels and translated men, their ministry is miraculous, they preach in the midst of grave plagues war and danger but are unharmed.
2033 April open Elder Featherstone 50-year time capsule which says Christ will have already returned, BUT doesn’t say which return. He has returned at New Jerusalem and resides there with the saints, but not yet to the whole world. “Those of you who read this letter have witnessed the second coming of Christ, the day for which we have long awaited. What a glorious experience to live in the day when our Lord, our Redeemer, the very Son of God is reigning personally upon the earth. We can imagine what General Conference must be like, to have the Savior address the people.” (Vaughn J. Featherstone, “To My Beloved Fellow Saints in the Twenty- First Century,” (letter, April 6, 1983), https://catalog.churchofjesuschrist.org/assets?id=3438179d-a8c0-499d-a2cc-82d6a239cef7)
7th Seal Events (2030 – 2050?)
Order & Timings Uncertain
Though the 7 sections of the scroll in John’s prophecy (also discussed in the D&C) contain events of 1000 year periods of earth’s history, the opening of those seals triggers a series of apocalyptic/end time events. Joseph Smith said the Book of Revelation is future tense from John’s day.

Adam Ondi Ahman. Church of the Firstborn takes over The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as the next stage since all keys were returned to Christ at AOA.
When the 7th seal is “opened”, there follows a half hour of silence and major judgements upon the wicked
3rd Jerusalem temple
The city of Enoch is seen as a planet/comet approaching earth ominously day by day. Eventually it joins with the New Jerusalem. Joseph Smith said it will go in the Gulf of Mexico from whence it was taken.
2047? (3.5 years before the half hour of silence ends): 2 prophets in in Jerusalem for 3.5 years preaching, miraculously fending off violent enemies, eventually they die but are resurrected a few days later.
2050? The half hour of silence ends, if it began around 2030, and it’s a 20 year period, not 30 minutes.
Christ to the Mt. of Olives saves the Jews in the battle of Armageddon.
There may be a season of several years between the time of Christ to the Mount of Olives and Christ’s great and dreadful day coming to the whole world. Some scripture indicates a time of the New and Old Jerusalem being teamed up against the world before Christ’s return, and we know the Jews wont be converted by and large until the coming of Christ to them at the Mount of Olives.
The resurrection of the righteous. They rise up to come with Christ in glory.
The Great and Dreadful day of the Lord: he returns to all the earth, burning all the wicked.
The Millennium begins and lasts 1000 years. No sickness or death. Earth is upgraded from telestial to terrestrial. Continents recombine forming Pangaea.
2 centers of government are the New Jerusalem (Missouri) and the Old Jerusalem (Palestine).
3050? The Millennium ends, Satan is loosed for a little season, final showdown of wicked vs righteous in battle of Gog and Magog, righteous lead by Michael win.
Earth becomes an eternal celestial kingdom. Saints live there indefinitely and create new worlds for their ever increasing posterity.
