Prophecies are notoriously and justifiably vague, and matching them to current events seems like a never-ending exercise in creativity for all involved. This is not an accident. Precognition will show you
exactly what is going to happen, with regret, as it might not have happened that way if you hadn't seen it: it's a disease and a crime. But prophecy reveals some bold outline of the higher intent and purpose behind the plot of the universe, while leaving it to the free will of people to fill in the details, and so it is not malicious. But somewhere between future and past we start to say the prophecy might have been fulfilled just so, even if we aren't really qualified.
For what it's worth, the way I would try to fit this together is that the Jehovah's Witnesses got the date of the Rapture right ... they just didn't want to see what it was. Not happy good people soaring into the sky on a way to a Heaven in space after all. The Armenian genocide was quoted by Hitler as proof that the genocide of the Jews would go unopposed. What they have in common is that Aramaic speakers call Yeshua by name, and Jews write the Tetragrammaton as it appears in the text. "All those who call on the name of the Lord", in other words. I think the main point of the story was that people like little Anne Frank, ascending in a whirlwind from the smokestack of Auschwitz, met the Lord in the air.
Each of the seals is an illusion; each time one breaks it is a revelation. But virtue is based on illusion. When Mychal Judge stood praying over the
"suicides" who leapt from the World Trade Center, they were people who took their best hope for survival, and who, I personally think, don't really need Last Rites to be eligible for heaven. But that is not to say it wasn't an act of martyrdom - not suicide - for him to go in there. Perhaps he will be beatified; why not?
The First Seal was a virtue of obedience ... the loyal King's Man with his positive law. But when roughly 144,000 people who called on the name of the Lord were saved, the world saw that Law
is Crime.
The Second Seal was a virtue of the warrior ... the ferocious pursuit of a cause in the hope that God would show support for the victor. But people built tens of thousands of nuclear weapons, to prevent nuclear war. Now we know that War
is Peace - our entire hope for physical safety lies on the ability to destroy most of the world in under fifteen minutes. Every now and then there is a test, and the rocket's red glare gallops across the sky.
The Third Seal was the virtual of the worker ... when all else in the world is mad, chop another tree, sell another vacuum cleaner, bring home money to your children. A vision of civilian virtue. But now there is environmental devastation, and AI can do the work, and we are reaching the point where Work
is Uselessness. Famine - not
a famine but
the Famine - stalks Gaza on black horses of the IDF, where the black market rates for food actually match the biblical prediction.
