Revelation 7

A CONCLUSION OF THE FIRST SEVEN CHAPTERS:       

• introduction to another set of seven chapters reflecting somewhat what has already been related thru another view

• Number seven, the 7^th chapter of Revelations falls in accordance God's domain: shift of command to the Son       

• This chapter ends the first of three sets of 7's, the Christian era without its Roman influence

 

1:  AFTER THESE THINGS I SAW FOUR ANGELS STANDING ON THE FOUR CORNERS OF THE EARTH, HOLDING THE FOUR WINDS OF THE EARTH, THAT THE WIND SHOULD NOT BLOW ON THE EARTH, NOR ON THE SEA, NOR ON ANY TREE       

• As denoted, type of angel equals the type of message        

• These four represent the four corners of the earth - a notice to the world       

• The winds, symbolizing the activity towards the earth, must cease for now - a temporary pause to turmoil, tribulation, & infliction

 

2: & I SAW ANOTHER ANGEL ASCENDING FROM THE EAST, HAVING THE SEAL OF THE LIVING GOD: & HE CRIED WITH A LOUD VOICE TO THE FOUR ANGELS, TO WHOM IT WAS GIVEN TO HURT THE EARTH & THE SEA, 3: SAYING, HURT NOT THE EARTH, NEITHER THE SEA, NOR THE TREES, TILL WE HAVE SEALED THE SERVANTS OF OUR GOD IN THEIR FOREHEADS       

• The angel ascending from the east is, as the sun, a very powerful message that gets stronger as the days grow longer      

• Sealing the foreheads, thoughts & deeds of the souls entering into the Book of Life

• Real repentance is the only recovery - directly to God       

• Judgment is being administered at this stage following the cataclysm       

• The messengers show more infliction & turmoil to follow

 

4: & I HEARD THE NUMBER OF THEM WHICH WERE SEALED: & THERE WERE SEALED AN HUNDRED & FORTY & FOUR THOUSAND OF ALL THE TRIBES OF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL       

• Twelve thousand is Christ's number, 12 times 12, times a thousand showing completeness

 

5: OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH WERE SEALED TWELVE THOUSAND. OF THE TRIBE OF REUBEN WERE SEALED TWELVE THOUSAND. OF THE TRIBE OF GAD WERE SEALED TWELVE THOUSAND. 6: OF THE TRIBE OF ASER WERE SEALED TWELVE THOUSAND. OF THE TRIBE OF NEPTHALIM WERE SEALED TWELVE THOUSAND. OF THE TRIBE OF MANASSES WERE SEALED TWELVE THOUSAND. 7: OF THE TRIBE OF SIMEON WERE SEALED TWELVE THOUSAND. OF THE TRIBE OF LEVI WERE SEALED TWELVE THOUSAND. OF THE TRIBE OF ISSACHAR WERE SEALED TWELVE THOUSAND.  8: OF THE TRIBE OF ZABULON WERE SEALED TWELVE THOUSAND. OF THE TRIBE OF JOSEPH WERE SEALED TWELVE THOUSAND. OF THE TRIBE OF BENJAMIN WERE SEALED TWELVE THOUSAND   

• Of the original tribes, Dan is replaced with Joseph's first son - who did not get the inherited blessing from Jacob, Gen. 48:20

• The order of these tribes is different than the order of the births. One need only dwell into the translations of the names for better understanding of the parable of the First Books

 

9: AFTER THIS I BEHELD, &, LO, A GREAT MULTITUDE, WHICH NO MAN COULD NUMBER, OF ALL NATIONS, & KINDREDS, & PEOPLE, & TONGUES, STOOD BEFORE THE THRONE, & BEFORE THE LAMB, CLOTHED WITH WHITE ROBES, & PALMS IN THEIR HANDS;       

• The uncountable number of the souls, who are in heaven, come from all nations, religions & tongues - & obviously made it home without the the need of any religious institution - obviously there is no single religion that created the path back home

• AS ALREADY MENTIONED, THROUGHOUT THE GREAT MANY MILLIONS OF YEARS [BEFORE JUDAISM, CHRISTIANITY, & ISLAM] & THERE WERE NO TICKETS TO GET INTO HEAVEN, ALL HAD A FREE PASS IF THEY PREFORMED WELL ON EARTH

  • - EVEN SO BY CHRIST THE JEW'S WORD - Matt. 23:13 - BUT WOE UNTO YOU, SCRIBES & PHARISEES, HYPOCRITES! FOR YE SHUT UP THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN AGAINST MEN: FOR YE NEITHER GO IN YOURSELVES, NEITHER SUFFER YE THEM THAT ARE ENTERING TO GO IN - OBVIOUSLY THERE ARE THOSE WHO MADE IT DESPITE THE SCRIBES' SCREWING AROUND WITH SCRIPTURE. 

  • IF WE ARE TO BELIEVE CHRIST - We originally left Heaven first & came to Earth - John 3:13 & NO MAN HATH ASCENDED UP TO HEAVEN, BUT THAT HE CAME DOWN FROM HEAVEN, EVEN THE SON OF MAN WHICH IS IN HEAVEN - contrary to what is being taught; Rev. 3:12 - HE SHALL GO NO MORE OUT  in other words, there are souls from the Earth residing in Heaven at the same time there are souls upon the Earth;

  • REV 5:1 NO MAN IN HEAVEN, NOR IN EARTH, NEITHER UNDER THE EARTH, SOULS IN HEAVEN BEFORE HIM & AFTER HIM EXISTED IN HEAVEN;

  • REV 7:9 AFTER THIS I BEHELD, &, LO, A GREAT MULTITUDE, WHICH NO MAN COULD NUMBER, OF ALL NATIONS, & KINDREDS, & PEOPLE, & TONGUES, STOOD BEFORE THE THRONE, & BEFORE THE LAMB, CLOTHED WITH WHITE ROBES, & PALMS IN THEIR HANDS;   - THE FACT IS THAT EARTHLINGS ARE IN HEAVEN WELL BEFORE THE PAPACY, HER CHILDREN, JUDAISM & ISLAM, AND THEY GOT THERE WITHOUT A PASS.  THERE ARE A NUMBER OF THE SOULS, WHO ARE IN HEAVEN, & COME FROM ALL NATIONS, RELIGIONS, & TONGUES, WHO OBVIOUSLY MADE IT THERE WITHOUT THE NEED OF ANY ONE SPECIFIC RELIGIOUS INSTITUTION - OBVIOUSLY NO ONE RELIGION WAS CREATED AS THE SOUL WAY TO HEAVEN, BACK HOME.

 

10: & CRIED WITH A LOUD VOICE, SAYING, SALVATION TO OUR GOD WHICH SITTETH UPON THE THRONE, & UNTO THE LAMB. 11: & ALL THE ANGELS STOOD ROUND ABOUT THE THRONE, & ABOUT THE ELDERS & THE FOUR BEASTS, & FELL BEFORE THE THRONE ON THEIR FACES, & WORSHIPPED GOD, 12: SAYING, AMEN: BLESSING, & GLORY, & WISDOM, & THANKSGIVING, & HONOUR, & POWER, & MIGHT, BE UNTO OUR GOD FOR EVER & EVER. AMEN.

13: & ONE OF THE ELDERS ANSWERED, SAYING UNTO ME, WHAT ARE THESE WHICH ARE ARRAYED IN WHITE ROBES? & WHENCE CAME THEY? 14: & I SAID UNTO HIM, SIR, THOU KNOWEST. & HE SAID TO ME, THESE ARE THEY WHICH CAME OUT OF GREAT TRIBULATION, & HAVE WASHED THEIR ROBES, & MADE THEM WHITE IN THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB       

•  A repeat is made of those who appear from great tribulation - came from the Earth & are in Heaven while others continue on Earth

 

15 THEREFORE ARE THEY BEFORE THE THRONE OF GOD, & SERVE HIM DAY & NIGHT IN HIS TEMPLE: & HE THAT SITTETH ON THE THRONE SHALL DWELL AMONG THEM. 16: THEY SHALL HUNGER NO MORE, NEITHER THIRST ANY MORE; NEITHER SHALL THE SUN LIGHT ON THEM, NOR ANY HEAT. 17:FOR THE LAMB WHICH IS IN THE MIDST OF THE THRONE SHALL FEED THEM, & SHALL LEAD THEM UNTO LIVING FOUNTAINS OF WATERS: & GOD SHALL WIPE AWAY ALL TEARS FROM THEIR EYES

• These verses speaks for themselves, an end to the first seven chapters.

• The next 2 sets of seven chapters will flow along with this set of seven - just a different view to what has already been written [similar to a glass of milk half full, or half empty]
