AND DID MAKE US UNTO OUR GOD KINGS AND PRIESTS

“Blessed and holy is the one who has part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no power. But they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.”

“But you shall be called the priests of the LORD; it will be said of you, “The ministers of our God;” you will eat the riches of the Gentiles, and you will boast in their glory.”

“And you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words which you shall speak to the children of Israel.”

“But you are a chosen stock, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for a possession of God, that you might proclaim His excellent virtues, Who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light”

“You also, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house—a holy priesthood—to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.”

“And they sang a new song, saying, “Worthy are You to take the book, and to open its seals because You were slain, and did redeem us to God by Your own blood, out of every tribe and language and people and nation, And did make us unto our God kings and priests; and we shall reign on the earth.”

“And I saw thrones; and they that sat upon them, and judgment was given to them; and I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus, and for the Word of God, and those who did not worship the beast, or his image, and did not receive the mark in their foreheads or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.”

“And has made us kings and priests to God and His Father; to Him be the glory and the sovereignty into the ages of eternity. Amen.”

THE MIGHTY ANGEL:

John decides to divert our attention away from the final trumpet to something else. The timing for this is essential. It is an interruption. A break in the programming.

“I saw still another mighty angel coming down from heaven, clothed with a cloud. And a rainbow was around his head, his face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire.” This definition of “mighty” is strong, like a warrior who has been in battle. The Strong’s Concordance states, “of one who has strength of soul to sustain the attacks of Satan, strong and therefore exhibiting many excellences.” Remember how Jesus sustained the attacks of Satan during His 40-day fast? He used the word of God. Our only offensive weapon in the armor of God is a sword of the Spirit. This is also the word of God. The less you know of God’s word the duller your weapon and the more vulnerable you are to Satan’s attacks. The more you know and understand God’s word the more effective your sword is against these attacks. He comes down from heaven with a cloud. Clouds, throughout the Bible, are God’s means of transportation. The rainbow is his identification of Whom he represents. The brightness of his face and feet are also signs of this angel being high in rank and power.

“He had a little book open in his hand. And he set his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land, and cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roars. When he cried out, seven thunders uttered their voices.” He has descended from heaven to the earth.

“Now when the seven thunders uttered their voices, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, ‘Seal up the things which the seven thunders uttered, and do not write them.” This is evidence that there are things which will take place that we are not privy to. Trust in God when it comes to those things that you do not know. These seven thunders are saying things that we are not to know until it happens.

“The angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land raised up his hand to heaven and swore by Him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and the things that are in it, the earth and the things that are in it, and the sea and the things that are in it, that there should be delay no longer, but in the days of the sounding of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, the mystery of God would be finished, as He declared to His servants the prophets.” I read this many times before coming to the conclusion that you can take this literally. There is nothing hidden here. Nothing to find. It will be as it is written. The angel coming from heaven, standing on the sea and the land, is directly related to God’s entire creation. God, who always was, created all things out of love for one purpose. To dwell with that creation. Our selfish sin nature pushed Him away as His glory consumes sin. His entire creation would be gone. He sent a piece of Himself as Jesus to take care of that problem so one day He could dwell with His creation again. It’s not rocket science. It’s very simple and this is the message that we are to bring to those who don’t know. People understand who Jesus is but often times having no understanding of the purpose behind it all. Have a great day.

Gloom and Doom pt.2:

This one has taken me some time. Like I’ve stated before, I try hard not to speculate when it comes to Revelation. Having areas that are figurative and full of imagery that has not taken place yet makes this difficult. So, if I seem to be incomplete, it’s because I really don’t know and refuse to guess. I will only post what I know.

Cause: “And I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden alter before the throne of God, saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, ‘Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.’” Effect: “So the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, were released to kill a third of mankind.” Four horns come from the golden alter before the throne of God. These four horns are directly related to the next plagues. Like Pharoe, God will harden people's hearts. We see everywhere that the mention Of Jesus’s name is being edited because it offends people. These horns are animal horns like what would be used during a battle. Like the 5th trumpet, it originates from the alter before the throne of God so we know that this is also the wrath of God.

“Now the number of the army of the horsemen was two hundred million; I heard the number of them.” When John makes sure that he states that he heard this number it’s got to be significant. Keep in mind, that horsemen in war are cavalry. We may not relate tanks or military vehicles to horses, but the military still refers to them as cavalry.

This cavalry had, “breastplates of fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow; and the heads of the horses were like the heads of lions; and out of their mouths came fire, smoke, and brimstone.” Only Lithuania with NATO has these colors. If you look at the countries surrounding Israel, you see these colors in different countries. The origin coming from the Euphrates gives us a hint but isn’t specific if these armies originate from the Euphrates or if this army has just amassed there. Check out this webpage: Joint Force Headquarters deploys in Lithuania for the first time | Lithuanian army (kariuomene.lt)

“By these plagues a third of mankind was killed – by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone which came out of their mouths. For their power are in their mouth and in their tails; for their tails are like serpents, having heads and with them do harm.” Google up some pics of modern military vehicles and you’ll see great similarities.

“But the rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of their works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and idols of gold, silver, brass, stone, and wood, which they can neither see, nor hear nor walk. And they did not repent of their murders or sexual immorality or theft.” At this time, with the exception of the 144,000 who are protected, nobody on this earth is getting it and yet God’s grace is still there for them. Believe me when I say that in the end the only one that you can blame will be yourself. During this time, Jesus is still standing at the door of your life and knocking. He will not barge in. You need to get up and open that door. Don’t get complacent about it, time is moving fast. Have a great day.

Gloom and Doom pt.1:

Just before the 5th trumpet is blown, we get a warning, “Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabitants of the earth, because of the remaining blasts of the trumpets of the three angels who are about to sound.” The first 4 trumpets have resulted in one third of the vegetation, seas, and fresh water supply being completely annihilated. Not to mention one third of the sun, moon, and stars being darkened.

Cause: “Then the fifth angel sounded.” Effect: “And I saw a star fallen from heaven to the earth. To him was given the key to the bottomless pit. And he opened the bottomless pit, and smoke rose from the pit like the smoke of a great furnace. So the sun and the air were darkened because of the smoke of the pit.” We have seen similarities of this after massive volcanic eruptions but they were isolated to certain areas of the world. I have a feeling that this will be worldwide when this takes place, and here is why.

“Then out of the smoke locusts came upon the earth. And to them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. They were commanded not to harm the grass of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree, but only those men who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads.” Who has the authority to tell a locust that they can’t harm any green vegetation on the earth? Notice that the “inhabitants” at this time are those who have received the seal of God and those who have not. The sealed being the 144,000 Jews.

“And they were not given authority to kill them, but to torment them for five months. Their torment was like that of a scorpion when it strikes a man. In those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will desire to die, and death will flee from them.” This is the same description given when speaking of hell where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth. This is literally hell on earth for those who are not sealed by God.

“They had hair like women’s hair, and their teeth were like lions’ teeth. and they had breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots with many horses running into battle. They had tails like scorpions, and there were stings in their tails. Their power was to hurt men for five months.” People have related these to military helicopters. I am a veteran who has been around military helicopters and these are not the same. All of the helicopters that I have seen are bald.

“And they had as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, but in Greek he has the name Apollyon. One woe is past. Behold, still two more woes are coming after these things.” These names both mean, “The Destroyer.” These trumpets are described as “judgements.” These locusts are demonic and have been locked in this abyss for thousands of years. Genesis 6:1-2, 1 Peter 3:18-20, 2 Peter 2:4-7, Jude 1:6 all speak of these fallen demons. God sends an angel with a key to release what He locked away. Do you really believe that His bride will be here to endure this? Have a great day.

One Third Devastation:

As you have noticed, during the entire time that we have been in this book there has not been any mention of a rapture and the only time that the great tribulation is mentioned is when the great multitude comes out of the great tribulation, three sentences. No timeline has been set. Please be patient in this study. That doesn’t mean that these things do not take place. What I want to focus on now is the difference between man-made catastrophes and the wrath of God. People get very confused when it comes to the two. I know I have.

I do not see the wrath of God in the seals. We were told that, “we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” That is what we contend with when it comes to the first 4 seals. Men do evil things because they succumb to the “wickedness in the heavenly places.” The extremely wealthy are the most susceptible. “It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.” And as we all know, the extremely rich always get the most powerful toys when it comes to technology.

The trumpets are different. They are reverberated sound which is the cause and then they have an effect. Since we have not experienced this, I will not speculate. Let’s just see what it is without trying to guess at what it will be.

Trumpet 1: Cause: “The first angel sounded:” Effect: “And hail and fire followed, mingled with blood, and they were thrown to the earth. And a third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up.”

Trumpet 2: Cause: “Then the second angel sounded:” Effect: “And something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became blood. And a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.”

Trumpet 3: Cause: “Then the third angel sounded:” Effect: “And a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water. The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters became wormwood, and many men died from the water, because it was made bitter.”

Trumpet 4: Cause: “Then the fourth angel sounded.” Effect: “And a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them were darkened. A third of the day did not shine, and likewise the night.”

The cause is the sounding off of an angel of whom our God equipped the instrument. This is what is inside of the scroll. Have a great day.
