Addendum to #1: The Seven Trumpets Relate To The First Four Seals

See ADDENDUM #2 Leviticus 26: (v. 14-39) Threatenings against disobedience.
See ADDENDUM #3 Leviticus 26 (v. 40-46) God promises to remember those that repent.

ADDENDUM #1 Leviticus 26:(v. 1-13) Promises upon keeping the precepts.

Chapter 26 of Leviticus, needs some expanding to bring out more clearly that because the majority of end-time Israel will most likely follow the antichrist and not repent under the judgments of the fourth seal. God, therefore, sends seven more punishments in the seven trumpets. Here is what He had commanded Israel to begin with:

(Lev 26 KJV) Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the LORD your God.
{2} Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the LORD.
{3} If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them;

God told Israel these things through Moses at Sinai. They, of course, will break all of these in the time of antichrist:

He said if they did these things, He would promise to do certain things. Because they do break the above during Daniel's 70th week, they miss out on all that God promised. Instead, they experience the first four seals, with our emphasis being on the fourth seal and God's four standard judgments that He always brought against Israel in the Old Testament for breaking the three commands we stated. This fourth seal especially is God calling them to repent and to do what He had originally said. But since they won't obey these in the 70th week, they experience the opposite of the promises of God until God brings forth the remnant (one of the main puposes of these fourth seal judgments) who do fear Him and repent and turn to Him or never yield to the antichrist to begin with. These promises will be fulfilled to that remnant at the end of the 70th week when Israel is brought into the visible kingdom of God:

Leviticus 26:4 Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.

God will fulfill this promise and the following promises during the High Holidays after the end of Daniel's 70th week, cleansing Israel and the land from the severe judgments He sends to them during the 70th week:

Leviticus 25:5 And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time: and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely.
{6} And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid: and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land.
{7} And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword.
{8} And five of you shall chase an hundred, and an hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight: and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.

Not only will He cleanse the land of all the plagues He sends during the 70th week, He will establish His covenant with them and set His dwelling among them, and they will be a people taken to be His very own (the promise inherent in the fourth Passover cup). All that caused the Lord to abhor them because of the idols in His land and disregard for His sanctuary will be reversed and He will not abhor them as He did because He will have cleansed the land and brought out the remnant who did not fall for the antics of antichrist:

Leviticus 26:9 For I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and establish my covenant with you.
{10} And ye shall eat old store, and bring forth the old because of the new.
{11} And I will set my tabernacle among you: and my soul shall not abhor you.
{12} And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my people.
{13} I am the LORD your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bondmen; and I have broken the bands of your yoke, and made you go upright.

Leviticus paints a very similar picture to what happens during and after the 70th week of Daniel. This is the final exodus for the faithful ones in Israel. Just as God brought them out of Egypt by inflicting plague after plague, so He will do again at the end of the 70th week.
