The producer made a discovery to prove the authenticity of the Bible's prophetic quality which is authentic. It is believed 30% of the Bible KJV revolves around prophecy and most of it was fulfilled already exactly the way it was written. That is why most believers believe the Bible is truth.
Going back to the video, most likely this believer believes in a Post Tribulation Rapture. To make it all fit his discovery, he placed the 'Wrath of God' just before Jesus comes back to take over the reign of the world's 'Thousand Year Millennium'. Jesus returns with all the Saints which doesn't fit a post tribulation concept.
That's not how the Tribulation is explained in the Bible. Following is what Scripture reveals. According to it there are a First and a Last Resurrection. How can that be?
 
The First Resurrection (Part 1)
What is confusing to people is the fact that the First Resurrection takes place over a period of time. Jesus is the First Resurrection (Part 1) after He was crucified at age 33 over two thousand years ago. The exact year is unknown. Matthew 28:5-6 "And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay."
 
The First Resurrection (Part 2)
The Pre-Tribulation Rapture happens just prior to the Tribulation. 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 "For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words."
 
According to the 'Parable of the Ten Virgins', half of them have no oil in their lamps which refers to the Holy Spirit in the Old Testament. Those virgins will be left behind. The Holy Spirit will be removed before the Antichrist can be revealed. The Holy Spirit is in born again Christians which is the reason for the Pre-Tribulation Rapture.
Jesus is the only one qualified to open the seals which start and describe the 'Seven Year Tribulation'. Revelation 6:1-8 "And I saw when the Lamb (Jesus) opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him (Antichrist) had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer."
 
Revelation 6:3-6 "And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see. And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword."
 
"And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see.
And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine."
"And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth."
 
The Antichrist comes out of the European Union (Old Roman Empire) as an ordinary person and people will believe he is Jesus Christ Himself because he will tell them that he has all the answers and will fix the world. That happens at the fifth seal. The Third Temple will have been built and he will sit on his throne and tell people to take the Mark if they wish to participate in his kingdom. Those who know the truth will not take the Mark and will be decapitated. They are called the Tribulation Saints because they were clothed with white robes. Notice they are in heaven in the middle of the Tribulation resurrected.
 
Revelation 13:3-8 "And I saw one of his heads (Antichrist) as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months (second part of the Tribulation). And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven."
 
"And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb (Jesus) slain from the foundation of the world."
 
The dragon represents Satan who takes over the Antichrist's body due to the wound he received and begins his Satanic rule. God releases Satan, who still takes orders from God up to this point. According to the Gospel, Satan is now in full control to do whatever he wants. That's what the 3.5 years remaining will be about. Satan hates God's creation and he knows his time is short.
The First Resurrection (Part 3)
Revelation 6:9-11 "And when he (Jesus) had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: 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? 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, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled." (Notice there are more to be resurrected)
 
Revelation 7:9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb (Jesus), clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
 
The First Resurrection (Part 4)
Revelation 7:4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel. (The twelve Tribes 12,000 each make up the 144,000)
 
Revelation 11:3, 5-8 "And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days , clothed in sackcloth. (3.5 years, the first part of the Tribulation). And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed. These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will. And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them. And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified."
 
The First Resurrection (Part 5)
Revelation 11:11-12 "And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them. And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them."
 
The Wrath of God
Revelation 15:6-7 And the seven angels came out of the temple, having the seven plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and having their breasts girded with golden girdles. And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who liveth for ever and ever.
 
Revelation 16:1-2 "And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth. And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men, which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.
(Here is an example of a Virginia Man who received Johnson & Johnson Vaccination and all his skin blistered and peeled away from his body ‘adverse reaction’ - Mar 31, 2021)
Revelation 16:3-16 "And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea. And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood. And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus.
 
"For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy. And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments. And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire. And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.
"And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain, And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds. And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.
 
"And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
 
"Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon."
 
Revelation 6:12 -17 "And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb (Jesus): For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?"
 
Luke 20:36 "Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection."
 
John 5:29 "And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation."
 
John 11:25 "Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:"
 
1 Corinthians 15:42 "So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:"
 
The End Of The First Resurrection (Part 1-5)
Revelation 20:5 "But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished.
This is the first resurrection."
 
Revelation 20:6 "Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years."
 
In heaven there is no time. That's why the Bible doesn't make much sense to some. The verses in Revelation 20 are close to the end of the total prophecy. The prophet speaks of the dead who were not resurrected. There is a final or last resurrection at the end of the thousand year Millennium. It's called the Great White Throne Judgment.
 
Revelation 20:11-15 "And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire."
 
The Book of Life
Revelation 3:5 " He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels."
 
The Bible doesn't tell us who is in the book of life. I can only come to the following conclusion if God is a righteous God and wants all human beings to be saved it seems to me they would all be in the book of life to begin with. They all have or had a life. Otherwise why would He say He will blot out names of people who defile, lie or work abominations.
 
Revelation 21:27 "And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life."
 
Revelation 22:19 "And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book."
