I'm currently working on a couple of very time consuming chronologies that are not yet visible to the public. But, while I whittle away at completing those timelines, I want to leave this here (with a few additional tweaks from what I've posted on my Facebook, Telegram, and elsewhere) as a testimony & 'heads up' for future reference by whomever God will lead to see it.
IF you aren't ready to meet the Lord by the MAIN barley harvest (Passover), then I hope & pray -you will be- by the time of the MAIN wheat harvest (Pentecost/Shavuot)! Yes, I feel I now understand the season ...but not the year... so wisdom says, be ye always ready!

FIRST we know that the unleavened loaf of the barley FIRSTFRUITS offering has already happened at the beginning of the season of aviv barley (Matthew 27:50-54 KJV) ...but... the MAIN barley harvest has not yet occurred, it seems to me that that has to happen first (Revelation 7:9-17 KJV pre-tribribulation & pre-wrath - barley bows it's head and is winnowed in the wind: tossed up in the air where the wind easily blows away the outer covering called "chaff") - Passover. !!!WE ARE HERE!!!

THEN comes the first 1/2 of the tribulation (3-1/2 years?) ... post-rapture ... being the seven trumpet judgments: including the two leavened loaves of the wheat FIRSTFRUITS offering (the two witnesses - because they are coming back in their mortal flesh in Revelation 11 KJV and will die and then be resurrected just prior to mid-tribulation) - AFTER THAT comes the full MAIN wheat harvest (Revelation 14:14-16 KJV mid-tribulation & pre-wrath - wheat was crushed under a tribulum: a board with rocks studding the bottom of it, very hard, used to crush the hard outer shell of the wheat) leaving only the corners & gleanings for the poor to harvest from - Pentecost/Shavuot.

AFTER the grain harvests comes the last 1/2 of the tribulation (3-1/2 years?, including Jacob's trouble) being the seven vial judgments with the "grapes of wrath": grapes are crushed to get the juice to make wine (the 'blood' of grapes).

Seals 1-6 duration = 2000 years: ending with the MAIN barley harvest of the ready bride (Matthew 25:1-13 KJV)
Hear ye! Hear ye! You can't read the CONTENTS of a scroll until all its seals are broken at Seal 7, leading into:
- Trumpets (duration 3.5 years?) - the "wrath of the Lamb" ... culminating in the rapture of the MAIN wheat harvest of the "tribulation saints" (mid-tribulation) BEFORE the last three trumpets, called the "Three WOES", through to Trumpet 7, leading into:
- Vials (duration 3.5 years?) - the "wrath of God" ...
those 'sheep' that survive that time will go into the millennial kingdom at Jesus' second coming.

You can't have a firstfruits harvest without fully harvesting the crop thereafter (barley - Passover; and four months later - wheat - Pentecost/Shavuot). EX: firstfruits, followed by full harvest (barley) ... firstfruits followed by full harvest (wheat) ... grapes of wrath followed by Jesus' second coming.
The past 2000 years have been the first six seals of the Book of Revelation including 2000 years worth of martyrs for Jesus (not just a mere future 3-1/2 or 7 years of upcoming tribulation &/or great tribulation & Jacob's trouble).
Oh, and am I saying 'for sure' the tribulation period is seven years in duration? NOPE. But, we're already in 2025 and if 2033 is the latest for Jesus' second coming (considering from the latest of His possible death year being in 33 AD) then the tribulation may only be a total of 3-1/2 years and not a full 7-years, which of course would result in my trumpets/vials years being reduced accordingly. We simply don't know for sure how long the tribulation will last at this point in time! We will know once the rapture has happened but until then it's all guesswork!
For now, I still believe in both the pre-tribulation & pre-wrath rapture and that the entire length of the tribulation period that follows is a full 7-years long.
Thanks for reading. Be blessed and keep looking up for our redemption draws nigh ;o}
