A Little Season

Note that at the Fifth SEAL (Re.6:9 below) the heavenly saints are asking the Lord a question - How long before you judge and avenge our blood upon THEM THAT DWELL ON THE EARTH? (Re.6:10 below). And it is said to them that they should rest yet for A LITTLE SEASON until their fellowservants also AND their brethren, that should be killed AS THEY WERE KILLED, should be fulfilled (Re.6:11 below).

The fellowservants also AND their brethren that should be killed AS THEY WERE KILLED will take place during the tribulation under the beasts of Revelatin 13. Their fellowservants also and their brethren (Re.6:11 below) are the two witnesses.

After the Millennium, Satan is loosed “a little season” (Re.20:1-3 below), the same amount of time Fifth Seal saints are told they are to rest yet (Re.6:9-11 below).

A little season is seven years; seven years between the Sixth SEAL (Re.6:12-17) and the Seventh TRUMPET (1 Thess.4:16-17) ascension.

The first three and a half years of the seven years the two witnesses will have God-given power to prophesy (Re.11:3 below). AFTER they have finished their testimony (after the first three and a half years of the seven years) the beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit will make war against them for the duration of the last three and a half years (Re.11:7 below).


Re. 6:9 And when he had opened the FIFTH SEAL, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain (Rev.6:11 below) for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:

Re.6:10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?

Re.6:11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them; that they should rest yet for a little season (Re.20:3 below), until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.

Re.11:3 And I WILL GIVE POWER (Dan.8:24, Dan.12:7) unto my TWO WITNESSES, and they shall prophesy (Re.10:11) A THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED AND THREESCORE DAYS, clothed in sackcloth. (1260 days or 3 ½ years)

Re.11:7 And when they (the two witnesses) shall have FINISHED their testimony (after 1260 days/3 1/2 years, Re.11:3 above), THE BEAST THAT ASCENDETH OUT OF THE BOTTOMLESS PIT (Re.13:11-17, Re.17:8, Ps.28:1) SHALL MAKE WAR AGAINST THEM, and SHALL OVERCOME THEM, and KILL THEM.

Re.20:1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.

Re.20:2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,

Re.20:3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed A LITTLE SEASON (Re.6:11 above).
