The seventh seal opened. There was silence in heaven for half an hour or a space of designated time…. then the prayers of the saints were offered up with the smoke of incense….. and fire was sent to the earth….

Then the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared to sound….

Here the first angel sound now in chapter 8 of the Book of Revelation…. What sound are the trumpets sending? Is it the sound of an alarm or maybe an announcement? What do you think?

The first angel sounded the trumpet….

What happened next? Scripture states in Revelation 8:7, The first angel sounded: 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 the green grass.

What does all this mean? Did this already happen? Is this trumpet to be sounded in the future?

Let me ask you a question, what are the three witnesses in heaven? Are the witnesses that are in heaven the same as the witnesses in the earth?

Get my book  Jesus Christ, The King Of Kings And The Lord Of Lords, The Judge of His Creation.   Come and  understand the hidden mystery in the book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ.

God is magnificent and so are all His ways….. Let’s keep learning of His great love that never fails towards us!!!!!

As we follow the opening of the seventh seal, there was silence for a half an hour…. Why ?

Why is it written here about the prayers of the saints being released?

Our prayers are as incense to heaven. Our prayers carry a heavy fragrance to our Lord…. My hope is we are like little smoke burners of prayers before Him.

Remember what was written in Luke 18, Jesus exhorted us that we should always pray and never lose hope. Then He gave an example of a woman who bothered this judge until he rendered justice… the judge gave in because she was in his face constantly! ( my paraphrase).

I believe I see our King’s scepter held out to us, He is hearing us before we even ask in prayer…. Come on let us ask for the impossible and live the incredible heavenly life multiplying His kingdom!

Get my book, Jesus Christ, The King Of Kings And Lord Of Lords, The Judge Of His Creation. Join in on the study!

Remember Jesus Christ hears us before we even ask as written in Isaiah 65:24, It shall come to pass that before they call, I will answer; and while they are still speaking I will hear.

So let us never be still in our talking to our Judge and King and Advocate, Jesus Christ, the Son of God because He hears!

As we see the effects of the broken sixth seal, our hearts should pour out to the Lord. Asking for more boldness and courage before any shaking that comes to our generation.

I pray the Spirit of God illuminated your sight that you all saw yourself under the altar, the cross of our Lord…. cleansed and fitted with the seal of His Spirit to do the work of the True Vine.

As written in the Word in John 15, we are now the branches of the True Vine…giving His truth, light and resurrection life to all. We are to grow out farther and farther…..

There is a day of reckoning with our King of all kings for all who walk on this earth….. Let us not miss our divine situations that He puts before us to grow His kingdom and free the captives, the oppressed, the forgotten, the hurt, the sick, the homeless….

The branch always reflects the type of vine it is…. We reflect the Son of God in our love, life and peace…Until the return of our Lord Jesus Christ, the body is to be growing larger daily….

Let us be a growing branch of the Lord, the True Vine…

Get the book I wrote on my illumination from the Holy Spirit on the understanding on some of the mysteries in Revelation….. Jesus Christ, The King Of All Kings And The Lord Of Lords, The Judge Of His Creation.

We now can bear fruit that lasts for eternity—- how cool is that!!!!!

Praise our Father of our Lord Jesus Christ forever and ever!! I pray that we all have Christ dwelling in us richly!

As we further our study into the great Book of Revelation, we are following our gaze after what John is presented in this vision.

Behold, the fifth seal releases a view of those who have been slain for the Word of God and the testimony they held. They were given white robes and told to have patience……as they wait for the rest of the brethren that were to be killed as they were…..

Romans 12:1-2 states: I, beseech, you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may  prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

I have another question for you to ponder…. Did these saints get slain in the flesh literally or spiritually or both?  Hmmmm…..  What do you think?

Why is this seal showing saints and not another horse? What is the symbol for the number five?

Are we to be slain at the altar too? What is the altar to us who follow Jesus now?

In the Old Testament, the people of God brought certain animals for different sacrifices, but now what is the sacrifice that we are to offer now?   Jesus sacrifice on the cross cleansed us from all sin for us to start our journey heavenbound…. but now what are we to offer as we live this life towards God now?

What is that white garment which is mentioned over and over again in the Word of God? If every Word in the bible is Holy Spirit inspired… then we have to conclude that the white garment is important to the our Holy God, that we are clothed in this Heavenly Garment.

We will keep marching through the adventure of the Book of Revelation, get my book and study along: Jesus Christ, The King Of Kings And The Lord Of All Lords, The Judge Of His Creation.

Hey, be silent and listen for your marching orders in March from the Holy One who has a great purpose for you  in His plan!

Think about what God is showing you as you contemplate on the saints under the altar?  Brother and sister in Christ, do you see yourself there?

Remember, it is a very blessed person who suffers reproach for the name of Jesus Christ and His testimony!

Heavenly Father, we ask for courage and boldness to receive and live  Your plan for us that we through our lives may glorify You and all come to know the One True Living God…. In Jesus name, we ask You…. Amen and Amen- We praise You Father forever and ever. Amen and Amen.

O Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory? is written in 1 Corinthians 15:55.

The Fourth Seal is released before us in Revelation chapter 6:7-8, When He opened the fourth seal. I heard a voice of the fourth living creature saying, Come and see. So I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And the name of him who sat on it was Death, and Hades followed with him. And power was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with a sword, with hunger, with death, and by the beasts of the earth.

Paul continues in 1 Corinthians 15:56-57, The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Do not be concerned, brothers and sisters in Christ, about the “Pale Horse”…. Jesus promised us in His second letter about the overcomers shall not be hurt by the second death and it is further confirmed in Revelation 20:11-15……

The freedom that God has given us is so tremendous through His Son Jesus Christ’s sacrifice on the cross as well as the empowerment of His Spirit dwelling within us to conquer the spirit of the world to be victorious with our King…

I go into further detail showing our emancipation from death into the resurrected life of our Lord Jesus Christ in my book: Jesus Christ, The King Of Kings And The Lord Of Lords, The Judge Of His Creation.

His Love Never Fails—– Praise and honor to our Lord Jesus Christ shall be forever! Let us continue to bring many to the freedom we have found in Christ….Let us magnify the Lord.

Do not fear, guys, because Jesus said in John 6: 35, I am the Bread of Life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.

We, as God’s children,  seek the Word of God, the Bible, with all our heart as our top priority.  The young lions lack and suffer hunger, but those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing, as written in Psalm 34:10.

As we put God in first place when we  strive to obey the first commandment that Jesus left us: Mark 12:30, And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.

The black horse has no hold on us because this horse will not hurt those that have and love Christ in their lives….. He can’t because it is written, we who seek after the Lord will not lack any good thing.

As we strive for the True Treasure of God, Jesus Christ, there is not any room to strive for the treasures that will be here maybe today, but gone tomorrow.

Many things in my life have come and gone, but Jesus doesn’t. In prayer, He told me He wasn’t a Fair-weather Friend….. He never leaves, never forsakes us…… My prayer is that I am not a fair-weather friend to Jesus, that no matter what comes and goes in my life, I remain clinging to Him as my Rock, my Refuge and My Friend.

Jesus Christ is the answer for every problem we have, whether it is, starvation, obesity, homelessness, addiction, sickness and infirmity…. He is our ANSWER FOREVER. The Greatest Gift of our Heavenly Father was His Precious Son who is the Word of God…..

I want to honor My Lord with always striving to receive all that He died to give me at the cross and being teachable to learn all the Holy Spirit has to teach. Jesus said that in Matthew  7:11, If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask Him.

Let’s keep seeking Him as our all and everything…. There is no fear where faith is because faith is the opposite of fear….. For it is written, For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind, in 2 Timothy 1:7.

So we as the children of God should not have fear of the future, for God is already there in His good purpose for which we are created.

Let’s trust the Bread of Life for our all! We then will not lack any good!

AMEN and AMEN!!!

Have you got the answers to the first seal? I think the Word of God is the greatest adventure book ever! And we get to live in the Word, which is Jesus Christ!

Let’s move on to mystery seal number two!  There is another seal broken by our King, the Only Worthy One.  A rider is released on a fiery red horse carrying a sword. This seal’s job title is to take peace from the earth.

Hmmm…… clue on this one is he is carrying a sword….. In Strong’s  Greek concordance this sword represents  war as a judicial symbol.

Some precious saint has said that God comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable.

The Lord was never not working His work on this earth, just as He is still working to intercede for the saints now….. (Thank You Jesus!)  I do not know about you but that gives me great freedom to keep going  on this journey knowing the One who prays for me gets His prayers  answered!

We always need to be reminded of the words that Jesus Christ has said, And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent, as written in John 17:3.

Why did this seal release a war type symbol? What is the purpose of God in this release of the second seal?

Keep on asking, seeking and knocking….. For it is written in Hebrews 11:6, But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that His is, and that He is a re warder of those who diligently seek Him.

In this seal we are learning that King Jesus Christ  who is holy, holy and holy is also judicial in His place at the right hand of the Almighty!  Revelation 19:11, Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war.

There are some answers to some of the mysteries in the book, Jesus Christ, The King Of All Kings And The Lord Of All Lords, The Judge Of His Creation.

His Spirit is calling all of us to awaken to the roar of the Lion of Judah! Let us tune our ears to hear and eyes to see what the Spirit is saying TODAY!!

The Book of Revelation of Jesus Christ is just that… the hidden mysteries of Jesus Christ are shown or revealed now to those who love God. This is a promise to the redeemed of the Lamb in  1 Corinthians 2:9, But as it is written: Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things that God has prepared for those who love Him.  

Just a note, it is written in 1 John 3:2, Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.   

Our Heavenly Father loves it when we seek Him out…. so all the mysteries of our God will not be seen or understood by us until He says!!!!! Even still, let’s keep asking, seeking and knocking on His door and learn everything we can. Thus we may walk worthy of our high calling in His Son, Christ Jesus!!!!

So let’s make sure we have spirituals ears and eyes to see the wonderful counsels of God prepared for us before the foundation of the world….. His Name is Jesus Christ, Our Savior, Our King, Our Leader……..

The slain Lamb of God is the Lion of the tribe of Judah, behold!!!! Behold. Our God was slain and known with the transgressors….. but He wasn’t and isn’t nor ever will He be but a Pure Sacrifice of Love.  The way of Love is take the low road, which is narrow, but it is God’s way…..

Behold, that is how we are to reign as kings and priests now on this earth in the empowerment of the Holy Spirit… The way is carrying our cross.  How is bowing the lowest the way to serve now as kings and priest to our God ?  The way of the lowest is the highest life! As the cross was an offense in Jerusalem and for the Greeks, let us never let the work of the cross be an offense to us in this day!

Our Worthy King opens up the first seal (secret) on this very special scroll that was held by the Almighty God…….  Then this special scroll was released to the only One who is worthy in all the history of the world!!!  Our Champion, Jesus Christ!!!!!

Who is released by this seal? What does that mean that this One is sent out to conquer? Is the Holy Spirit the One on the white horse?   The Rider did not have any arrows, yet the Rider had a bow, do you know why???

Enjoy reading the Greatest Mystery ever written!!!!!!

If you want  some of the answers to some of the riddles in this great book, The Revelation of Jesus Christ,  get my book : Jesus Christ, The King Of Kings And The Lord of Lords, The Judge Of His Creation.

In Revelation 5:5, John followed the instructions of the elder to behold the Lion of the tribe of Judah…. But John saw a Lamb as though it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the Seven Spirits of God sent out into all the earth. Why did the Spirit of God show the Lamb and not the Lion of Judah to John?

So is this book from the past talking about the future or is it written from the past concerning our present days? Or could this book of Revelation be for both?

I have question for you again, do we walk on this earth as kings and priests to God now? Do we really believe we have the kingdom of God within us now?

Lo and behold, there is the Lamb of God, the King of all kings in our midst. Do we live that in our hearts that the Lover of our souls is here…. always!?

Final question, the Word of God is Jesus Christ and knowing this…. do we really live out what the word of God says?  Believing what the Word says as our living truth and foundation for the church?

If so, where are the men and women that Jesus gave us as gifts as spoken in Ephesians 4:8-11, Therefore He says: “When He ascended on high, He led captivity captive, and gave gifts to men.” (Now this, He ascended- what does it mean but that He also first descended into the lower parts of the earth? He who descended is also the One who ascended far above all the heavens, that He might fill all things.) And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists,  and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.

Did Jesus quit giving these gifts of men and women to the body of Christ? I do not think so because Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today,  and forever, as written in Hebrews 13:8.

Is our western church living out the plan of God as written in Ephesians?  God is a God of increase and are we His Light beaming brightly from the Mount  Zion, as His bride  spotless and blameless in a dark place?

If Jesus Christ returns today, how will He see His gifts of men and women (all five of them) working  in the body of Christ?  Did Jesus or John the Baptist fit the description for the “church of Jesus’ day”? Or even Paul, formerly known Saul of Tarsus?  Who was Paul’s Teacher in the knowledge of God’s heart that is found in Jesus Christ? If the Holy Spirit taught Paul, then did the Holy Spirit stop teaching the Lamb’s redeemed now?

Remember in Matthew 11:7-8, As they departed, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John: What did you go out to see? A reed shaken by the wind? But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft garments? Indeed, those who wear soft clothing are in kings houses. But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet.

Then Paul also abounds on the life of an apostle in 2 Corinthians 6:4-6, But in all things we commend ourselves as ministers of God: in much patience, in tribulations, in needs, in distresses, in stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labors, in sleeplessness, in fastings; by purity, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Spirit, by sincere love.—etc. 

The Holy Spirit brings to us the remembrance of the Words of Jesus, (John 14:26). Jesus also said in John 15:20, Remember the word that I said to you, A servant is not greater than his master. If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will keep yours also.

There should be a distinction between the world’s kids and God’s.  Our song that we sing for all eternity( NOW) is celebrating the Lamb and His great cost to redeem us….. In reading any part of the new testament there is a cost for His ministers.   Just like our light bill, if we lighting up our surroundings, there will be a high cost….. if we are not lighting up or our light is covered with the business of the world, there will be a low cost.  That is because we are no threat to the evil one……… How are we plugged in to the Light of the World, our Power Plant today?

I hear the joyful and powerful song of the redeemed of the Lamb of God surrounding His throne……There is none ever like our Great God and His Son Jesus Christ…. AMEN AND AMEN!!!   Be a strong light, but remember it will cost alot!

What does the Gospel of John 16 and Revelation 4 have in common?

Let’s see, Jesus is speaking to us in both chapters, but what is He preparing our heart to receive?

What does that open door mean to us spiritually in Revelation 4:1? Paul had witnessed the presence of new life in Christ Jesus,           ( Ephesians 4:24), as well as the witnessing that we have now the mind of Christ in  1 Corinthians 2:16.

I believe that I am safe in saying that Paul who was once Saul of Tarsus is experiencing the effects of his new life in Christ Jesus and witnessing to us to grasp and apprehend this Promise of our Heavenly Father to us NOW.

The next chapter of my book, Jesus Christ, The King Of All Kings And Lord Of All Lords, Judge Of His Creation,  we are surrounding the throne of God. We can learn what  is opened to us now while we are here on this earth.

It will take an eternity to know the height, the depth, the length and width of the love of God that we have now in Christ Jesus.

Let me know if you found the connection between the two chapters! Happy exploring as we keep growing in our understanding of our inheritance in Christ Jesus.
