Hmm, who said this statement? Wondered some…. who had not known the King of all. When their lives were in shambles because they pursued violent acts instead of peace. Nor did they hear His Word speaking softly to them: Satan comes to steal, kill and destroy…… I, Jesus Christ, have come to give My life – life abundantly to you……

You are turning away My peace and rest….

Let Satan go and grab hold of I AM.

Come and be redeemed by My blood that will end your bloodshed.

Come to My cross and know the sins I AM have taken upon Me for you….

You then will be made clean…..Peace shall be yours and the sword will be only in My hand as I AM alone takes vengeance on all who use violent acts against I AM’s creation.

Then Jesus said to him, “Put your sword back in its place; for all those who habitually draw the sword will die by the sword. ( Matthew 26:52).

As also stated in Revelation 13:10: He who leads into captivity; shall go into captivity; he who kills by the sword must be killed by the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

Again I looked up, and I saw a scroll flying in the air! 

 And the angel said to me, “What do you see?” And I answered, “I see a flying scroll; its length is twenty cubits (thirty feet) and its width is ten cubits (fifteen feet).”  Then he said to me, “This is the curse that is going out over the face of the whole land; for everyone who steals will be cut off according to the writing on one side, and everyone who swears [oaths falsely] shall be cut off according to the writing on the other side. 

 I will send the curse out,” declares the Lord of hosts, “and it will enter the house of the thief and the house of the one who swears falsely by My name; and it will spend the night in that house and consume it, both its timber and its stones.”

 Then the angel who was speaking with me came forward and said to me, “Now look up and see what this is going forth.” 

 And I said, “What is it?” And he said, “This is the ephah (grain basket) going forth. This,” he continued, “is their appearance throughout the land  (and behold, a [round, flat] lead cover was lifted up); and there sat a woman inside the ephah.”  

Then he said, “This is Wickedness (Godlessness)!” And he threw her back down into the middle of the ephah and threw the lead cover on its opening. 

 Then I looked up, and there were two women coming out with the wind in their wings; and they had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the heavens. 

 I said to the angel who was speaking with me, “Where are they taking the ephah?” 

 And he said to me, “To the land of Shinar (Babylon) to build a temple for her; and when it is prepared, she shall be set there on her own pedestal.” (Zechariah 5).

SELAH!

Now Little Person went on to tell Uri of what he learned on the second living creature showing John to come and see in Revelation 6 verse 3:

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.

I kept asking Holy Spirit on this over and over again…. I needed more scriptures to confirm…. Jesus Christ is the Servant of all…. The second living creature revealing the calf,…. Servant…… Then the number two is to be set apart or division…. As we are set apart unto God and we have been divided from the world.

As written we have Galatians 2:20:   I have been crucified with Christ [that is, in Him I have shared His crucifixion]; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me.

 The life I now live in the body I live by faith [by adhering to, relying on, and completely trusting] in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.

And Galatians 6:14: But far be it from me to boast [in anything or anyone], except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

 For neither is circumcision anything [of any importance], nor uncircumcision, but [only] a new creation [which is the result of a new birth—a spiritual transformation—a new nature in Christ Jesus].

Peace and mercy be upon all who walk by this rule [who discipline themselves and conduct their lives by this principle], and upon the [true] Israel of God (Jewish believers).

Romans 12: 1-2: Therefore I urge you, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies [dedicating all of yourselves, set apart] as a living sacrifice, holy and well-pleasing to God, which is your rational (logical, intelligent) act of worship.

And do not be conformed to this world [any longer with its superficial values and customs], but be transformed and progressively changed [as you mature spiritually] by the renewing of your mind [focusing on godly values and ethical attitudes], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His plan and purpose for you].

Now the parallel scripture that I received from Holy Spirit was in Isaiah 53:7-12: The Great Suffering Servant, Jesus Christ: and we are as He is in this world, right….? So He is the Servant of all and now we are servants and sons and daughters and friends to our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ by His Spirit…. However,this is the scripture showing what He has taken for us….Then called us into His place.

If people of the world do not turn to Him and receive His sacrifice for them, they will see live the curse that was meant for mankind from the beginning of the fall of mankind.  Death started to reign when Adam sinned against God… Death started it’s march into the heart of every person born on this earth. If they refuse the grace of God through the sacrifice of His Beloved Son…. Woe to them is all I got to say……  I do not know why they would refuse Him but there are many who do as written…… Let’s read the Isaiah about our King: 

 He was oppressed and afflicted,
    yet he did not open his mouth;
he was led like a lamb to the slaughter,
    and as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
    so he did not open his mouth.
By oppression and judgment he was taken away.
    Yet who of his generation protested?
For he was cut off from the land of the living;
    for the transgression of my people he was punished.
He was assigned a grave with the wicked,
    and with the rich in his death,
though he had done no violence,
    nor was any deceit in his mouth.

Yet it was the Lord’s will to crush him and cause him to suffer,
    and though the Lord makes his life an offering for sin,
he will see his offspring and prolong his days,
    and the will of the Lord will prosper in his hand.
After he has suffered,
    he will see the light of life and be satisfied;
by his knowledge my righteous servant will justify many,
    and he will bear their iniquities.
Therefore I will give him a portion among the great,
    and he will divide the spoils with the strong,
because he poured out his life unto death,
    and was numbered with the transgressors.
For he bore the sin of many,
    and made intercession for the transgressors.

 I think the scripture shown to us by the second living creature reveals what is happening to those who reject the greatest Servant of all….Jesus Christ took all our sins and transgressions on Himself so we may die spiritually with Him and then live in and by Him in His new creation…..Also at the end of this age, we will rise in our resurrected body before Him….Being born from above is the only way to be resurrected with and in and by Him.

Sort of like Noah and his family were transported from the flood in safety by God Himself telling Noah to make the ark…. Now the ark of the New Covenant is Jesus Christ in where we abide and have refuge.

Remember in Galatians 3:10-14:  For all who depend on the Law [seeking justification and salvation by obedience to the Law and the observance of rituals] are under a curse; for it is written, “Cursed (condemned to destruction) is everyone who does not abide by all things written in the book of the law, so as to practice them.” 

 Now it is clear that no one is justified [that is, declared free of the guilt of sin and its penalty, and placed in right standing] before God by the Law, for “The righteous (the just, the upright) shall live by faith.” 

 But the Law does not rest on or require faith [it has nothing to do with faith], but [instead, the Law] says, “He who practices them [the things prescribed by the Law] shall live by them [instead of faith].” 

 Christ purchased our freedom and redeemed us from the curse of the Law and its condemnation by becoming a curse for us—for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs [crucified] on a tree (cross)”

—  in order that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might also come to the Gentiles, so that we would all receive [the realization of] the promise of the [Holy] Spirit through faith.

We have refuge in His death in which He took our death on Him and in His resurrection life, we now abide and live from His life. As written in 1 John 5:6-12:

 This is the one who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ. He did not come by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth. 

For there are three that testify: the Spirit, the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement.  

We accept human testimony, but God’s testimony is greater because it is the testimony of God, which he has given about his Son.

Whoever believes in the Son of God accepts this testimony. 

Whoever does not believe God has made him out to be a liar, because they have not believed the testimony God has given about his Son. 

 And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 

 Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.

But to those who reject God’s redemption plan, which are the ones who still have the veil of unbelief covering their eyes in the world,….as Jesus prayed in John 17:6-11:

“I have revealed you to those whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours; you gave them to me and they have obeyed your word. 

 Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you. 

For I gave them the words you gave me and they accepted them. They knew with certainty that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me. 

 I pray for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me, for they are yours. 

 All I have is yours, and all you have is mine. And glory has come to me through them. 

 I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one as we are one.

It is quite obvious by our King’s request of His love and protection He reflects from His heart for keeping His own close to Him even though they are in hostile territory.

But He also spoke He does not pray for the world…..Just for those He has chosen since the foundation of the world….. We do not know who they are so our instructions are to tell everyone of Jesus Christ…..However, He is not a get out of hell card given and get a stamped ticket to heaven. He will know us if we have been in fellowship with Him and by the measure of His likeness within us. Born of heaven and filled with His Spirit.

He wants relationship…. Then we come back to being born again so we may worship in Spirit and Truth….. This also brings us to our need to baptized in fire and His Spirit…..

We need His Spirit to understand and receive all He is showing us…. How can we worship in Spirit if we do not have or acknowledge Him within us….? How can we worship in Truth if we never digest and know His Word which is written?

No wonder there are so many deceptions out there….. Study the Truth and the Truth will set you free…..The Lord Jesus is truth…. and as written in John: He who the Son sets free is free indeeed. His hand and guidance will always be of Truth and peace….If we call our selves by name a Christian but never partake of our King, we are deceiving ourselves. Jesus Christ with eyes of fire will never be deceived but will burn through the false life we are portraying…

Know Him and love Him and if we do not love Him, we do not know Him.

He is our Sword of Justice cutting apart the dark cords of deception and lies thrown at us all the time and in His light we see light: the truth is boldly shining forth as the noon day sun….…..

But now, let’s get back to the second living creature showing us the second rider who has a sword and is allowed to remove peace from the earth and there shall be killings…..

As our King spoke to us in John again in 16:33:

I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace. In the world you have tribulation and distress and suffering, but be courageous [be confident, be undaunted, be filled with joy]; I have overcome the world.” [My conquest is accomplished, My victory abiding.

 It is abundantly clear that in the world there is always chaos because the prince of darkness rules the air….

As written in 2 Corinthians 4:4:

in whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

And in Ephesians 2:2: As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins,  in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient.

These scriptures show the release of the curse that are promised to those who turn their backs to God and His Son Jesus Christ…..Actually, they have been present since Israel left Egypt… Our God promised if people did not obey His Word, the curses that were on Egypt because Pharoah refused to allow His people to leave, would also fall on all who did not obey……Thus, sons of disobedience are then called.

They will reap what they sow as written in Galatians, well, we all will as written….

Galatians 6:7-8 exhorts all: Do not be deceived, God is not mocked [He will not allow Himself to be ridiculed, nor treated with contempt nor allow His precepts to be scornfully set aside]; for whatever a man sows, this and this only is what he will reap. 

 For the one who sows to his flesh [his sinful capacity, his worldliness, his disgraceful impulses] will reap from the flesh ruin and destruction, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.

Uri spoke up…. Hey, I remember reading in Revelation those who use the sword to kill will be killed in like manner… Wait …… I’ll find it:  Here it is Revelation 13:10:

 If anyone is destined for captivity, he will go into captivity; if anyone kills with a sword, he must be killed with a sword. Here is [the call for] the patient endurance and the faithfulness of the saints [which is seen in the response of God’s people to difficult times].

Good find, said Little Person. So you see the double edge sword to the Salvation of Jesus Christ….. He cuts us to the marrow in His truth and will cut darkness away to those who refuse Him and continue in their rebellion.

Uri said, Yes, I do see His sovereign way. He set the play. He set the rules and those who chose their side of light or darkness will reap what they sow.

He alone keeps His chosen wheat in His barn and allows the chaff to blow away in the wind. Or what is not of Him will burn with everlasting fire…..as Jesus Himself spoke of in many gospel accounts. Did you know Jesus spoke more of the place where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth than He spoke of His kingdom? He is warning all the time to those who have ears to hear and turn to see the voice that whispers.

So that is what I have found so far on the second seal.  What do you think? asked Little Person as he shoved a handful of chili fries in to his mouth….

Uri spoke, I do see what you are seeing.  I agree if we agree to accept God’s Servant who sacrificed His all for us…..We then choose life and receive His peace. If we turn our back on Him and stay under the sway of Satan,….. the lives of those will be filled with hate, unrest….

Just as it is written, there is no peace for the wicked….. Literally in their heart, there will be no peace and in their lives, chaos will pursue them.

Then Uri joined him in eating a couple of the fries… She grimaced for they had turn cold. Yuck, she thought.

Little Person said, exactly!….. God is God and there is no other. God is good also, but He is not tame!

They both smiled at each other remembering a favorite movie of theirs.

Uri said, You got that right. Look- there is no middle ground with God… You are either with Him or against Him…..There is no lukewarm, if that is found in anyone with His name on them…. It is written, He will spew them from their mouth.

Uri smiled, like what I wanted to do with those fries, but I did not…..I just put them in my napkin. They are gross when they are cold…I guess, that is what He sees when we come to Him saying our heart is with you and yet, our actions are far away, and some people are very, very far away.

Little Person said, just add some salt. Jesus spoke to us not to lose our flavor or salt and fire to our lives sacrifice to Him… That way we stay hot like the chili and our heart is soft towards Him like the fries.

Uri grimaced and shook her head no…. Nice analogy, but that is gross referring to the fries… The cheese is even hard from being so cold…..She sighed……

So what is the next seal? Uri asked.

SELAH!!

More To Come: God is willing!
