perplexity the tribulation’s spiral of time daniel vall es
“And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity ; the sea and the waves roaring; Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of of heaven shall be shaken. Luke 21:25-26
perplexity (Greek perplexity (Greek 640): a state of quandary. From the same as G639 [to have no way out, that is, be at a loss (mentally)] perplexity (dictionary): perplexity (dictionary): intricacy; complicated and difficult to be understood or unraveled; entanglement.

abn a bnor orm m a l p r op oph h e t i c e v en ent ts When considering future events foretold by the Bible, we must always remember that they will include both natural and supernatural events. The Book of Revelation describes several events that are outside of our historical frame of reference and personal experience.
The sky opening as a scroll (Rev 6:14) Examples:
Creatures from the Boomless Pit (Rev 9:1-4)
People not able to die for 5 months (Rev 9:5-6) We must always consider what Scripture strongly implies to say - and then have faith that it will be accomplished - whether we fully understand the subject or not. It will not be till many of these events start happening, that the mind will start connecting many other prophetic and Biblical dots and references. Based on our research and studies, it is our conclusion that another major abnormal event to transpire during the Tribulation time, will also involve 1) the changing of time, and 2) changing laws of nature (which is already obvious for some of the other events). In our research, it appears that the time and laws component also explains other Tribulation events.
Time itself will be changed (Daniel 7:25) This booklet compiles our best understanding of these future events, without the benefit of direct observation. We have studied the Biblical paerns and shadows of what this perplexity seems to be. However, our understanding is limited in truly grasping the full extent of what the Bible is warning about. This booklet is compiled to provide you a journal of our research, to aid you in your learning journey.

biblical time notes & examples exa mples “I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him. That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past.” past. ” - Ecclesiastes 3:14-15 All the Same
Change the Ending
God is in Control
To God, the past is as good as the present; and the future is just as good as already done. He knows the end from the beginning. He knows everything that will happen - and everything that could happen.
Only the past is required. No matter what has happened in our past, we can still affect the future decisions, and serve Christ more, to make a better end.
His Will, directives, and prophecy will all be accomplished. He also gives us the free will opportunity to be a part of what He will accomplish.
“Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight, which he hath made crooked?”
His Way is Best; His Way is Perfect
- Ecclesiastes 7:13
knowing what could happen does not determine what will happen
Would have been handed over
David at Keilah I Samuel 23:7-13
“Will Saul come down?”
David left Keilah
He will come down.
Note that David did not ask God what he should do, only what would happen if he stayed in stayed in the city. Once David found out what could happen, happen, he did something else - he left town.
“Will the men of Keilah deliver me into his hand?” They will deliver thee up.
only god controls time & directs the flow of events / time “Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his: and he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and seeth up kings...” - Daniel 2:20-21 2
god knows the results of what would have been King Saul would have had his kingdom established for ever But, King Saul’s kingdom was not going to be established for ever
“And Samuel said to Saul, Thou hast done foolishly: thou hast not kept the commandment of the LORD thy God, which he commanded thee: for now would the LORD have established thy kingdom upon Israel for ever. But now thy kingdom shall not continue: the LORD hath sought him a man after his own heart, and the LORD hath commanded him to be captain over his people, because thou hast not kept that which the LORD commanded thee.” - I Samuel 13:13-14
changing constructs of time & time itself - to gain more time Joshua’ss Long Day - Gained an extra day. Joshua’ “Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon. And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, stayed, until the people had avenged avenged themselves themselves upon their enemies. Is not this wrien in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day. And there was no day like like that before it or after it, that the LORD LORD hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the LORD fought for Israel.” - Joshua 10:12-14
Hezekiah & The Sundial - Gained 15 years. “ And I will add unto thy days fifteen fifteen years ...And Isaiah said, This sign shalt shalt thou have of the LORD, that the LORD will do the thing that he hath spoken: shall the shadow go forward ten degrees, degrees, or go back ten degrees? And Hezekiah answered, answered, It is a light thing for the shadow shadow to go down ten degrees: nay, but let the shadow return backward ten degrees. And Isaiah the prophet cried unto the LORD: and he brought the shadow shadow ten degrees backward, by which it had gone down in the dial of Ahaz.” - II Kings 20:6,9-11
The Antichrist (through the Devil) - Delay appointed day of judgment; turn back the clock. “And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.” - Daniel 7:25 “Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.” - Revelation 12:12
god allowing satan limited use of forces of creation Satan & Job
Satan & the Tribulation first half
“...the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power ; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. ...The fire of God is fallen from heaven heaven ...there came a great wind from the wilderness, wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell ...the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thine hand ; but save his life.” - Job 1:12,16,19; 2:6
“...and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.” - Daniel 7:25

Note that laws are referring to the laws and ordinances of nature (Job 38:33; Jeremiah 31:35). Mankind has already been corrupting the precepts (laws) of God throughout history. The laws of nature, though, are directly controlled by God.

Seals 1-5: Normal Events When we study the events that will unfold during the Tribulation, we notice that the first five seals are ‘normal’ man-made events, just allowed to go to a greater extreme.
1st Seal - Antichrist
3rd Seal - Famine
2nd Seal - War
4th Seal - Death
5th Seal - Persecution

1/4th world’s population decimated (Rev. 6:8) by the wars, resulting chaos, famine, and disease.
Seal 6 & 7: Bizarre Events Yet, when examining the seals, we notice that Seal 6 abruptly switches to very ‘un-natural’ and perplexing events, that many would title ‘science fiction.’ Then, on top of that, the six trumpets that follow, are just as bizarre. of bizarre, perplexing events Start of 6th Seal - - Start
Worldwide earthquake (Rev 6:12,14) *could be a result of tectonic stress built up by nuclear-type war
Sun as sackcloth; moon as blood (Rev 6:12)
*likely caused by all the smoke and dust from World War III (Seal 2), cities burning, triggered volcanoes, etc.
The stars falling, just like falling figs (Rev 6:14) *Note that Jesus mentioned the stars falling, prior to the Rev 12 sign appearing (Matt 24:30) - which is also the season sea son for figs. *At the very least, will visually appear as the stars falling; could be significant ‘falling star’ (meteorite) impacts
The heaven (sky) opening as a scroll (Rev 6:14)
*possible dimensional gateway being opened
Hail and fire; 1/3 of trees and grass burned up (Rev 8:7) Great burning mountain cast into sea; 1/3rd sea becomes blood 1/3rd ships destroyed; 1/3rd sea life killed (Rev 8:8-9) A great star falls (Wormw ( Wormwood); ood); 1/3rd waters made bitter (Rev 8:10-11) 1/3rd of sun, moon, and stars darkened (Rev 8:10-12) *different event than Seal 6 event
WOE 1
Bottomless pit opened; Apollyon; Apol lyon; locust-like creature army; people not able to die for 5 months (Rev 9:1-11) *Time looping (time of perplexity) appears app ears to take effect.

WOE 3
4 bound angels released; demonic/non-human(?) army kills 1/3rd mankind (Rev 9:12-19)
The 7th Trumpet (7 Bowl judgments) happens after the Revelation 12 sign (Rev 11:9-15; 15:1). 5
