We are told in Revelation 6:17, that the Sixth Seal judgement is the Day of the Lord’s wrath and then the Seventh Seal is an ‘about a 20 year’ earthly time gap when the world recovers, enabling righteous Israel; that is: every faithful Christian from every race, nation and language, to return to the holy Land and the rise of a One World government.

If I may ask, How exactly is the conclusion drawn of a "20-year gap"?

I like your question. Also, his emphasis on the sixth seal as the day of the LORDS wrath is not what the word says. Rather it does say Gods wrath has come. This statement comes directly after all six seals are broken emphasis  wrath and  not [one singular]. 

Revelation 6:17

17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

Thanks for your 'exhaustive' rebuttal.

Strongs H2745 Keraz - to make a proclamation.  and G 2783 Kerax - a herald of divine truth, esp a Gospel preacher.   Both pronounced as Keras.     The root word does mean 'horn', or strength and from that a person who strongly proclaims the truth.

We are given the formula for how time is for God in heaven, as compared to earthly time. Two witnesses say that to God: 1 day is equal to 1000 years earth time. Psalms 90:4 and 2 Peter 3:8.  

So the Seventh Seal, the next after the forthcoming Sixth Seal, will be a half hour of silence in heaven.  1/ 48th of a day for God in heaven. 1/48th of 1000 years fro us on earth is about 20 years.  This time period is right for all that is prophesied to happen between the Sixth Seal and the glorious Return of Jesus.

Proof of the Sixth Seal worldwide disaster being the next prophesied thing to happen, is in Isaiah 61:2, where Jesus stopped mid-sentence, before; and a Day of the vengeance of the Lord

But those verses don't apply to everything in scripture that has a time table. If you apply that verse to this, then would you not also have to apply it the prophecy of 70 weeks? I just don't think this is sound biblical theology or sound hermeneutics. I do thank you for taking the time to answer my question. I will try to refrain from derailing this thread any further.

It is your false interpretation.  I can see this will go nowhere.  THINK what you want. I rightly divide the word. buh bye

As Revelation 8:1 specifically says the half hour of silence is in heaven, then to do as I have is quite correct. God, in heaven, is not constrained by our clocks. 

Your disagreement is not based on any 'bible theology or sound hermeneutics'.

Doesn't the equation go both ways (1 day = 1000 years = 1 day)?  The 30 minutes of silence could mean 1/1000th of a second.

Luke 13:32 is widely held to support the day-millennium theory, yet Jesus was here on earth when He said it.  My point is that its just too subject to interpretation to be reliable.

Based on the context, I see the half hour of silence more as an indication of the severity of what is forthcoming than I do code for 20 years.

No, it does not; read in a decent translation. To think as you do makes a mockery of a Bible truth.

That verse has to be future prophecy, as Luke 13:33 goes on to say what He will do next.  Jesus did make many prophesies that are for our time.   Verse 32 is paralleled by Hosea 6:2

Revelation 8:1 is a plain statement. It is you that wants to make it mean what it doesn't.

Anyway, the fact is that the silence in heaven, happens just after the Sixth Seal world changer. We see in Revelation 7:1-14, the 144,000 selected out of the vast multitude gathered in the holy Land. Just as is prophesied to happen to all of the Lord's faithful Christian people. We see them in the Land in Daniel 7:25 and Revelation 13:7.
