Revelation 7

King James Version

7 And 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.

2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and 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.

4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.

5 Of the tribe of Juda 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 Nephthalim 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.

9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;

10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.

11 And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,

12 Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.

13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?

14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and 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, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

G. INTERLUDE: 

SEALING OF THE MARTYRS 

(7:1-8)

7:1. 

Before the end of this age actually arrives, a great persecution will bring the number of the martyrs to the necessary total (cf. 6:11). Consequently there is a cessation of woes until those who are to become martyrs are sealed. For this reason the four angels at the four corners of the earth hold back the four winds, causing a temporary pause in the infliction of plagues on the peoples of the world.

According to a cosmology probably derived from the Babylonians, the earth was considered to be a square, with an angelic watcher of each of the four winds stationed at each corner. The idea of these four winds as destructive agents of God is found in a number of the apocalypses: e.g., in Dan. 7:2-3 the four winds of heaven broke upon the sea, causing the four fearful beasts of destruction to appear; in the Syriac Apocalypse of Peter, God warns that when he looses the four winds, brimstone will go before the sea wind, a flaming fire before the south wind, and mountains and rocks will be broken in two by the west wind (the effects of the fourth wind are not mentioned). According to the Apocalypse of Pseudo-John 15, God promises that he will permit four great winds to sweep the face of the earth from one end to the other so as to cleanse it from sin. In another source, the Questions of Bartholomew 4:31-34, four angels are set over the four winds to restrain them lest they destroy the earth. Nor should we forget that the archetypes of the four destroying horses with their riders in 6:1-8 are the four chariots of Zech. 6:1-8, which are identified with the four winds. The probable relationship of the four living creatures to the four winds should also be recalled (cf. 4:6).

2-3. 

While the winds are being restrained, another angel appears from the rising of the sun, bearing the seal of the living God. He orders the angels restraining the four winds not to permit them to do any harm until the servants, or slaves, of God have been sealed on their foreheads. This scene is similar to one in II Baruch 6:4-8:1. Four angels were about to set fire to the city of Jerusalem to keep it from falling into the idolatrous hands of the Babylonians (i.e., the Romans), when a fifth angel appeared and stayed their hands until the sacred objects of the temple were removed and safely hidden. When

this had been accomplished, he ordered them to set fire to the city. However, in Revelation though we are led to believe from the statement in vs. 3 that the angels will be permitted to release the four destroying winds when the sealing is accomplished, this is not done (but cf. 9:15). This is but one of the several loose ends which are not caught and tied up by the author.

Neither the sealing nor the seal is described, However, some assistance in understanding this scene may be obtained from similar ones in other sources: e.g., we read in Isa. 44:5 that converts to Judaists will inscribe the name of Yahweh upon their hands as a sign that they are his. We are also reminded of the blood of the Passover lamb which was sprinkled on the doorpost of the Jews so that their first born would not be killed by de destroyer (Exod. 12) A brief statement in 11 Esdras 6:5 indicates that the faithful were sealed before creation to ensure their bliss in messianic times. A closer parallel is provided by the incident in Ezek.9:1-8 Six men (angels) are prepared to destroy the inhabitants of Jerusalem for their sins, but before they begin their work of destruction, a seventh marks the foreheads of the righteous and the repentant with ink ss that they will not be slain. Similarly, in Pss. Sol. 15:8 the righteous receive a mark their foreheads to preserve them from the plagues of famine, sword, and pestilence, which God is to inflicts upon the wicked who are also marked so that they can be identified. In a Talmudic version the righteous are to be marked with ink, the wicked with blood (Shabbath 55a). Also, according to II Esdras 2:38, the predetermined number of

"confessors" had been sealed before the end. 

It is possible that John was thinking along similar lines in connection with the sealing of the prospective martyrs, indicating that these who are sealed belong to God, that they are his slaves. Consequently this sealing acts  as as a phylactery, 

or supernatural protection, against the series of plagues which are to devastate the world, in conformity with the promise is 3:10. As an additional feature, not apparent in the parallels, it may serve to guard the faithful against the demonic forces (cf. 9:4), particularly during the reign of the Antichrist which is to come.

Does it have any connection with baptism, which was also called sealing? Certain resembelences are to be seen other than the use of the same terms. Baptism not only marked the recipient as belonging to God, but it also protected him from Satan and his demons. In addition, as a sacrament is ensured immorality to the baptized, or at least it was a prerequisite to eternal life. It is quite probable that the sealing in Revelation, although it is not the same as Baptism performed this same important function. While it could not and did not keep the Christian from suffering or from a martyr's death, it would  secure a blessed immortality for these who were sealed, i.e., for the martyrs-designate.

The seal itself may have been a sacred name, like that inscribed on the white stone which was to be given to the martyrs (2:17) or like those on the pillars in the temple which symbolize the martyrs (3:12). This surmise is reinforced by one of the final scenes in which the martyrs receive the divine name on their foreheads (22:4). To be sure, John represents the sealing as occurring in the present age, and the inscribing of the divine name on their foreheads in the next; but since John frequently is indifferent to the details of chronology, it could be that the former is thought of as being, in a sense, an anticipation of the latter.

4-8.

 

The number of those sealed is given as a hundred and forty-four thousand, with twelve thousand from each of the twelve tribes of Israel. This is the total number of martyrs that must be completed before the prayers of those in heaven can be answered (cf. 6:11). More than likely John has used a Jewish source in which the saints are members of the Jewish nation from each of the twelve tribes. Whatever the source, he has allegorized the twelve tribes to signify the Christians, composed of every people and nation (cf vs. 9; 5:9), who are the true Israel (cf. Jas. 1:1; 1 Pet. 1:1); more specifically. they symbolize the whole company of martyrs, as in 14:1, where the identification seems certain.

The exact order of the tribes in this list is not of great significance. In the O.T. there are at least nineteen different arrangements; that in Revelation does not agree with any one of them. There may be some symbolism involved in the heading of this roll by Judah, since the Christ was from this tribe (cf. 5:5). Although in all save possibly one of the O.T. lists the tribe of Dan is included, it is omitted from this one. Irenaeus, writing near the end of the second century, observed that this omission was due to the belief that the Antichrist was to come from the tribe of Dan (Against Heresies V. 30. 2). That such a tradition was current earlier is evident from a statement in Test. Dan 5:6 that Beliar, a form of the Antichrist, will come from this tribe. Furthermore, in Jewish tradition Dan came to be associated with that greatest of sins, idolatry, which was one of the marks of the Antichrist (cf. Judg. 18:30; Genesis Rabbah 45:2; Targ. Jer. I on Exod. 17:8).

H. INTERLUDE: THE GLORIFIED MARTYRS IN HEAVEN (7:9-17)

9-12. 

The scene shifts rapidly from the sealing of the martyrs to become a proleptic tableau of the entire company of the glorified and victorious martyrs in heaven, where they await the consummation soon to occur. They are not only from the twelve tribes of Israel, which have been used allegorically, but are from all nations and tongues (cf 5:9). They are no longer under the altar, praying for vengeance, but are in the blessed presence of God who sits upon the throne and of the Lamb. They have their white robes of immortality which had been promised them (cf. 3:5); they carry palm branches, the symbol of victory and thanksgiving (cf. 1 Macc. 13:51; 11 Macc. 10:7; John 12:13, Leviticus Rabbah 30:2), and they sing a victorious song of praise. The scene is practically duplicated in II Esdras 2:42-48. Ezra is shown a multitude of confessors, who had previously been sealed in Mount Zion, the heavenly Jerusalem, before God and his Son. They were dressed in their garments of immortality, were given crowns and palms, and praised the Lord with songs. The song sung by the martyrs in Revelation is one of praise to God and the Lamb for the salvation and glorious victory which they are to enjoy soon. Whereupon the heavenly choir, consisting of the angels, the four living creatures, and the twenty-four elders, falling on their faces before the throne and worshiping God, respond with a highly liturgical sevenfold doxology beginning and ending with Amen. The power and might which God possesses are now to be openly displayed. The Lamb is not specifically included in this doxology, but this is doubtless an unintentional omission, since for John God and the Lamb are essentially one in power.

13. 

Lest the reader fail to identify this glorious multitude in heaven before the throne, John introduces a dialogue. This is characteristic of apocalypses (cf. II Esdras 2:42-48 for a very similar situation). John writes that one of the elders asked him the identity of those who were clothed in white robes. When John professed ignorance, the elder replied in what may be termed a martyrological hymn of four strophes, or stanzas, each strophe consisting of one long and two shorter lines. In the RSV vss. 15-17 are arranged in poetic form in three stanzas of this character, but vs. 14 should have been treated by the typographer in the same fashion, for it is an integral part of the whole. 

14. 

In this first stanza the elder identified this group as the persons who had come out of the great tribulation, i.e., here in an anticipatory presentation is the total group of martyrs whose predestined number is to be completed in the last and greatest persecution. John envisaged this final tribulation as occurring in the immediate future during the reign of the Antichrist

These glorified saints are the faithful who have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. This statement is a reiteration of the theme that the salvation and victory of the martyrs are made possible because Christ, the first martyr, had been victorious through his death (cf. 1:5). It should also be remembered that the martyrs are saved to some degree by the shedding of their own blood-a baptism by blood, as it were.

15. 

Some of the eternal blessings which the martyrs are to enjoy are described in poetic language in the three remaining stanzas. They will be permitted to stand before the throne of God and will be a company of priests who serve him day and night in his temple, a repetition of an earlier promise in 1:6 and 5:10 that they would become priests. This is somewhat inconsistent with the later statement that there would become priest is the New Jerusalem (21:22). God in turn will shelter them with his presence; ie, his Shekinah, his divine presence, will overshadow and protect them (cf. Ezek. 37:27). This prospect reaches fulfillment in 21:3, when God makes his dwelling with men.

16-17. 

The last two stanzas are largely an obvious adaptation of a prediction made in Isa. 49:10, "They shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun smite them: for he that hath mercy on them shall lead them, even by the springs of water shall he guide them," with an allusion made, perhaps, to Ps. 23. In keeping, therefore, with this alluring expectation in Isaiah, the martyrs will never hunger nor thirst; they will never be stricken again by the sun, nor with blazing heat. By a curious shift in symbolism, the Lamb... will be their shepherd, leading them to springs of living water. Finally, they shall have no more sorrow, for the elder (vs. 13), echoing Isa. 25:8, assures them that God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.

The sealing as it relates to a type of phylactery 

I found very interesting in this chapter.

Angels

 getting ready to say have at it!

Revelation 7:1

And 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.

(Once those angels let go? Look out. My personal opinion? When Israel and Hezbollah  finally go at it, and then everybody else gets sucked in? Thats when the angels let go and to think its not just around the corner is to be kidding yourself.)

At least 12 killed, including children, in Golan Heights rocket attack; Israel and U.S. blame Hezbollah

"A rocket attack Saturday on a soccer field in the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights killed at least 12 children and teens, and wounded several others, Israel said, hours after an Israeli airstrike on south Lebanon killed three members of the militant Hezbollah group."

The strike, the deadliest attack on Israeli civilians since the fighting between the two foes erupted on Oct. 7, raised fears of a broader conflagration in the region. 

Hezbollah chief spokesman Mohammed Afif told The Associated Press that the group "categorically denies carrying out an attack on Majdal Shams." It is unusual for Hezbollah to deny an attack."

(Thats not what it said earlier. It said they normally do deny attacks.)

"However, a U.S. official told CBS News Saturday night that "there's no real doubt here this was Hezbollah." 

(It aint beyond Netanyahu to pull a false flag either, these were Druze, in an annexed area most countries don't recognize as belonging to Israel, why didn't Iron dome shoot the missile down? To low? To fast? Or just turned off because its Druze in an annexed part of Syria? This is how evil our world has become:

Genesis 6:5

Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great upon the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was altogether evil all the time.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken said early Sunday, "Every indication is that indeed the rockets were from or the rocket was from Hezbollah."  

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that Hezbollah "will pay a heavy price for this attack, one that it has not paid so far."  

"Cutting his nearly week-long trip to the U.S. short, Netanyahu departed Washington, D.C., Saturday night en route to Israel, an Israeli official told CBS News."

" Saturday was a day of "almost all-out war" between Israel and Hezbollah following the rocket attack that killed children in Majdal Shams in northern Israel a U.S. official confirmed to CBS News. Officials said the strike was a "nightmare scenario" feared by Biden administration officials — and mass casualties would force a heavier Israeli response than the usual tit-for-tat."

(Fuck the Biden Administration.

a "nightmare scenario"

for the world.) 

"There is no doubt that Hezbollah has crossed all the red lines here, and the response will reflect that," Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz told Israeli Channel 12. "We are nearing the moment in which we face an all-out war."  

"Israel captured the Golan Heights from Syria during the 1967 Mideast war and later annexed them in 1981."

"CBS News has learned the latest round of in-person hostage talks are set to take place Sunday in Rome, Italy, with CIA Director William Burns traveling to the Italian capital to meet Mossad Director David Barnea, Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, and Egyptian intelligence chief Abbas Kamel, in an attempt to finalize a deal."

(Anybody else curious why so many intelligence chiefs for hostage negotiations?)

Israel weighs response to Hezbollah after a rocket from Lebanon kills 12 youths on a soccer field

"On Saturday, a rocket slammed into a soccer field where dozens of children and teens were playing in the Druze town of Majdal Shams, about 12 kilometers (7 miles) south of Lebanon and next to the Syrian border. Twelve were killed and 20 others wounded, according to the Israeli military."

"The Israeli military said it was investigating why the rocket wasn’t intercepted and questioned whether it would have been possible due to its short journey and short reaction time. A bomb shelter was next to the blackened field, steps away."

"The Druze are a religious sect that began as an offshoot of Shiite Islam and has communities in Israel, Syria and Lebanon. There are about 25,000 Druze in the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights, according to Yusri Hazran of the Hebrew University."

"The Druze are considered among Israel’s most loyal citizens, although those in the Golan Heights have a more fraught relationship with authorities. Israel captured the Golan, a strategic plateau, from Syria in the 1967 Mideast war and annexed it in 1981. Much of the international community considers the area to be occupied territory. While Druze leaders there profess allegiance to Syria, relations with Israel are normally good."

"Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was weighing options Sunday after hurrying home from the U.S. and warning that Hezbollah “will pay a heavy price for this attack, one that it has not paid so far.” The security Cabinet authorized him and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant to decide how and when to respond."

(We will know soon.)

"Hezbollah has far superior firepower than Hamas. Igniting a war in Israel’s north while it’s engaged in Gaza would overburden the military, Barak Ben-Zur, a researcher at the International Institute of Counter-Terrorism, told journalists."

(Ive been saying that all along.)

"Any conflict could bring in Iran, which warned Israel that a strong reaction would lead to “unprecedented consequences.” Iran and Israel’s shadow war burst into the open in April, when Iran launched 300 missiles and drones at Israel, most of them intercepted, in response to the killing of an Iranian general."

"How could this impact the war in Gaza?

Officials from the United States, Egypt and Qatar were meeting Sunday with Israeli officials in Rome in the latest push for a cease-fire deal in Gaza."

(Notice how AP doesn't tell you who the officials were, that aint hostage negotiations folks, there sgetting ready to be a massive war in the middle east. Three heads of intelligence services? For hostage negotiations? No wonder AP didnt say who they were.)

And what you didn't hear about was:

B-52 Traverses Middle East as US Troops in Iraq and Syria Are Attacked

"A U.S. Air Force B-52 bomber flew from Europe across the Middle East on July 25, making a 32-hour flight as U.S. troops came under attack in Iraq and Syria on July 25 and July 26, U.S. officials told Air & Space Forces Magazine."

The bomber took off from Romania, 

(Bout to be the largest NATO airfield)

where it was deployed on a brief Bomber Task Force mission, traveled east over the Mediterranean Sea, then crossed into the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) area of operations. Flying over Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar, it reached the Persian Gulf, then turned back, headed for the Atlantic Ocean, according to open-source flight tracking data reviewed by Air & Space Forces Magazine."

The B-52 mission showcased ”extensive options … for fielding combat-ready forces to protect and defend the region from adversary aggression,” Air Forces Central (AFCENT) said in a July 27 press release. The mission was focused on practicing maritime firepower support, AFCENT said."

"The mission also included flying with USAF A-10s from Selfridge Air National Guard Base, Mich., and KC-135 Stratoankers from both Fairchild Air Force Base, Wash., and McConnell Air Force Base, Kan., AFCENT said. The B-52 did not land while in CENTCOM, but did rendezvous and fly with Qatari F-15QAs, a U.S. official said."

(Oh, you mean one of the parties involved with the "Hostage negotiations"? Interesting.)

“These missions amplify the U.S.’s ability to integrate with coalition forces and regional partners while demonstrating the strategic bomber fleet’s ability to operate anywhere with decisive impacts,” the official said."

"It seems, however, that not everything went according do plan. A frequent poster on the X social media platform published apparent radio transmissions from the B-52 as it flew home solo to the United States, in which the crew stated “the second aircraft had a mechanical problem and did not take off.”

"The U.S. Embassy in Doha originally said two B-52s would fly over Qatar."

(Sounds about like us these days.)

"On July 26, two rockets were fired at Mission Support Site Euphrates in Syria, a U.S. official told Air & Space Forces Magazine. No injuries or damage was reported, the officials said, and it is not clear which groups carried out the attacks."

Brother Joe in his bible study on the Book of Revelation never referred to it WWIII, he always called it "The Euphrates War."

"On July 26, two rockets were fired at Mission Support Site Euphrates in Syria..."

It ends with Armageddon,

you can believe that.

Revelation 7

7 And 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.

G. INTERLUDE: 

SEALING OF THE MARTYRS 

(7:1-8)

7:1. 

Before the end of this age actually arrives, a great persecution will bring the number of the martyrs to the necessary total (cf. 6:11). Consequently there is a cessation of woes until those who are to become martyrs are sealed. For this reason the four angels at the four corners of the earth hold back the four winds, causing a temporary pause in the infliction of plagues on the peoples of the world.

( We have had the two woes, Financial crisis, Covid the third is Gods wrath in the second half of the tribulation but I still I don't see it just like that, the angels are holding back the world powers who are destined to come into conflict. Angels holding them back till the time is right as decreed by God.)

"According to a cosmology probably derived from the Babylonians, the earth was considered to be a square, with an angelic watcher of each of the four winds stationed at each corner. The idea of these four winds as destructive agents of God is found in a number of the apocalypses: e.g., in Dan. 7:2-3 the four winds of heaven broke upon the sea, causing the four fearful beasts of destruction to appear; in the Syriac Apocalypse of Peter, God warns that when he looses the four winds, brimstone will go before the sea wind, a flaming fire before the south wind, and mountains and rocks will be broken in two by the west wind (the effects of the fourth wind are not mentioned).

"Our nation is being torn apart. 

Truth is questioned."

"Some of you on this committee appear to believe that Russia and it's security services did not conduct a campaign against our country and that somehow, for some reason, Ukraine did, this is a fictional narrative that has been perpetrated and propagated by the Russian security services themselves."

(From Dr Fiona Hill's testimony.)

Matthew 24:3-4

The Signs of the Times and the End of the Age

Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, 

“Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, 

and of the end of the age?”

And Jesus answered and said to them: 

“Take heed that no one deceives you.

Do you remember this?

Iran shows off captured US drone

The Iranians said they took over control and landed it. Given the landing gear was covered up during their press conference it was assumed they didn't really take control, but the drone malfunctioned and the Iranians recovered it. Point is. They now had our technology.

Which leads us to this.
Remember this?

This was the incident where the Iranians took some of our sailors hostage.
This is when the Iranians first deployed use of the technology they had reversed engineered from the downed drone. They jammed the ships use of GPS, causing the ship to drift into be in Iranians waters while the sailors believed they were still in international waters.

Ottoman Empire 2.0.

Eying Gaza mediator role, Turkey cools Hamas ties, Erdogan restrains rhetoric

"At the behest of Erdogan, Turkish intelligence and Foreign Ministry officials have held contacts with Hamas but have allegedly failed to get a positive response to mediation offers. Some seem to take this as a sign that Ankara lacks influence, but in the initial stage of the conflict, Hamas has not been open to proposals from Qatar and Egypt either."

"Regardless of what Ankara’s mediation efforts achieve, they increase Erdogan’s regional activism. Whenever Turkey has raised its diplomatic profile, as in the war against Ukraine and the grain corridor crisis, Erdogan has skillfully used that to project an image as a sought-after leader in the international arena."

The world now has

it's first 

 Pan-Turkic

Muslim

Pro-islamist

nuclear armed state.

The four winds have leveled.

Revelation 7:1

"After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, 

holding back its four winds 

so that no wind would blow on land or sea or on any tree."

The winds = a time of turbulence.

The four winds are:

US

Russia

China 

And radical Islam.

When the four winds are equal in strength?

The angels stop holding them back and unleash them.

Revelation 16:16 

And he gathered them together 

into a place called in the Hebrew tongue 

Armageddon.

Im telling you my time-space continuum is different than yours.

Get back with me in a few years.

(Hopefully :-).

It seems to be how long it takes 

for things to finally start making sense to people.

Here lately Me and Honey been talking about Revelation 6:9-11 "The souls of the Martyrs." (Had to for search purposes 3I/ATLAS)

 

"The souls of the Martyrs."

 And when he had opened the fifth seal, 

I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain 

for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:

10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, 

How long, O Lord, holy and true,

 dost thou not judge and avenge our blood 

on them that dwell on the earth?

11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; 

and it was said unto them, 

that they should rest yet for a little season, 

until their fellowservants also 

and their brethren,

 that should be killed 

as they were, 

should be fulfilled.

There is a number of Martyrs

that has to be reached.

Once it is, seal is broken.

This is a lot bigger deal than I thought

it was at the time.

I thought it was significant.

But like the commentarys say

this moves things into

the heavenly realm.

First four seals

already broken and on the earth.

Thats the four horsemen.

This one was called when it happened.

And you already know by who.

(And people wanna try and tell me about prophecy?

This is what I get a lil aggravated etc.)

Aint but one person on this earth 

being used to tell yall this stuff.

Tennessee church shooter admits to crime 

as bizarre Facebook posts surface

Fox News 9/25/17

Saturday, September 30, 2017

The shooting in Nashville last Sunday?

More significant than most people think or realize.

Certain things have to happen as we approach the End Times.

One of the things that has to happen is, 

the number of those murdered for their belief in God has to reach a certain threshold.

Revelation 6:9-11

"When he opened the fifth seal, 

I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained. 

They called out in a loud voice, 

“How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, 

until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?” 

Then each of them was given a white robe, and 

they were told to wait a little longer, 

until the full number of their fellow servants, 

their brothers and sisters, 

were killed just as they had been."

Another thing is, the angels who are holding back the four winds will release them once they have become equal in power. 

The four winds could be: 

The US, China, Russia, and Radical Islam.

Revelation 7:1

"After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth to prevent any wind from blowing on the land or on the sea or on any tree"

I'm not going to get into the four winds right now 

but the point is, certain things have to happen,

and some of us have eyes that see.

One of these happened last Saturday.

The threshold of those murdered for their belief in God was reached.

The shooters three "erratic" Facebook post before the shooting:

“Everything you've ever doubted or made to be believe as false, is real. & vice versa, B.”

"Two photos posted Sunday morning showed Samson (The Shooter) flexing his muscles accompanied with the words "unrestricted paroxysm." 

Paroxysm means a sudden attack or violent expression of emotion."

Then:

“You are more than what they told us.”

The shooter was allowed to see what he was unleashing before committing his horrendous act.

Revelation 19:13-16

"He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. 

The armies of heaven were following him, 

riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. 

Coming out of his mouth is a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations.

He will rule them with an iron scepter.” He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. "

They either came, or their coming soon (Armies of God).

But this demonic entity?

He was allowed to see them.

This was the day after September 23rd, 2017 remember?

"A great and wondrous sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head. She was pregnant and cried out in pain as she was about to give birth."

Brother Joe's sermon the morning of the shooting?

Only a few hours beforehand?

Christians should be expecting more persecution.

Tuesday night Sept, 26th, 2017

In my sleep.

Over and over:

"You are more than what they told us."

"You are more than what they told us."

"You are more than what they told us."

"There are armies of you"

"There are armies of you"

"There are armies of you"

What am I supposed to do?

Not tell anybody?

That is not the way this works.

It's not what I signed on for.

It's not my charge, commission etc.

What is laid on me as truth?

I will share.

That's how this works.

The Two Witnesses are coming soon as well.

Don't be sad.

This is the last chance God is giving everyone to get on the right side.

Your freedom song, your redemption train?

Is being delivered right to your front doorstep.

Still time to get on-board.

For now anyway.

All Aboard!

First

of all sympathy and prayers to the victims and to the families of the victims in the Las Vegas shooting.

I haven't read anything, I only heard sketchy details this AM and that was it.

I do know this.

Last week I said that the Nashville Shooter had fulfilled the prophecy of the fifth seal being opened in that he had committed the murder that met the threshold for those holding to their belief in God, and being murdered for it, for him to release his vengeance upon the earth.

 

Revelation 6:9-11

"You are more than they told us."

he said, 

referring to the armies of God he was allowed to see that he was about to unleash by committing his horrendous act.

This message?

From the Nashville shooter last Sunday?

 “Everything you've ever doubted or made to be believe as false, is real. & vice versa, B.”

Intended for non-believers.

Are you getting this?

A demon of Satan himself is telling you:

  “Everything you've ever doubted or made to be believe as false, is real. & vice versa,..."

Yesterday after church I was talking to a friend of mine and telling him my interpretation of events from last Sunday. 

I said:

"Satan is pissed, he knows what happened last Sunday and what threshold was crossed. He knows how this ends and it's not good for him, he's been putting it off as long as he could. We should expect to see more of this, not less.'

Then?

The Las Vegas shooting.

See how all that worked?

We got a lil more than a mouthful there.

The two most powerful people

on the face of the earth

since Old Testament times

are here and about to join forces.

Somebody been saying it a while.

And now you know its true.

Aint nobody on the face of this earth 

said that about that shooting.

Nobody even remembers.

But I sure do.

It's still chilling 

to me, to this very day

what the shooter in Nashville said.

It always will be.

"Everything you've ever doubted 

or made to be believe as false, 

is real. & vice versa, B.”

“You are more than what they told us.”

"unrestricted paroxysm." 

Thats what gives it away right there.

Lets see what the book on 

Biblical Demonology says

about:

"paroxysm"

and in this instance it was:

"unrestricted paroxysm." 

Saturday, August 10, 2024

Biblical Demonology Part 5 

(Chapter VI, part 2)

"there are, accordingly, always symptoms of disease, more or less violent, in every demonized person; and 

the severity of these distempers is greatly accentuated 

in the last fierce paroxysm 

when the evil spirit quits his habitation. 

This is an indication that demonic action is primarily upon the nervous system, which forms the nexus between the body and the mind, and the varied physical effects are caused by the different parts of the nervous system acted upon."

This is why I dont listen to internet 

or social media preachers okay?

(The Bishop, Cliffe, Billy Graham

and Im good.)

"His admission comes 

as police are searching for a motive 

for the shooting at the 

Burnette Chapel Church of Christ 

in Antioch. 

Samson, 25, purportedly posted several cryptic messages 

on his Facebook page in the days leading up to the attack."

Thats where Christians 

were first called Christians.

You would be shocked

how many incidents

have happened in 

or people from 

towns called Antioch.

BLM shooter

Kyle Rittenhouse

from was from 

Antioch, Illinois.

It's uncanny 

it really is.

And all of that happened

the day after:

Complete accident I'm sure.

Right...Gotcha...Sure...

Eternity awaits.

An eternity with the inventor

of quantum mechanics

and you're just going to throw it away 

on nothing?

IT IS A HUGE DEAL

UNLOCKING THE FIFTH SEAL.

Unlocking that seal

put things into the heavenly realms.

And now we got 

3I/ATLAS

HEADED SIDEWAYS

(What was once pointing to the sun

and shouldn't have been

(anti-tail)

is now making 

a right angle to the sun

instead of straight on.

How?

23 KM across.

33 Billion tons

Going 130,000 mph.

How does that happen?

Did it around Mars.

Avi saying we should look for satellites.

Well no kidding.

The images NASA is releasing

getting fuzzier 

making more sense now?

And the 

European Space Agency

Triangulated 3I/ATLAS

with earth based telescopes

said forget NASA

and activated

"rehearsal"

Planetary Defense Mechanisms

??????????

People dont understand

I want to find 

less and less evidence 

of this everyday, 

but all that keeps happening is

we keep seeing more and more

evidence the CME hit it

and it hit mars.

How did it turn sideways?

Something hit it.

Or it hit something.

Or both.

Im going with both.

Honey said she thought it was hit 

by the Coronal Mass Ejection,

I said its that 

and then it bounced 

off Mars as well.

Ill just put it this way.

You can expect land tides

in Feb of 27.

Land tides.

Energy transfer when Mars passes by

closer than it has been since 701 BC.

"You dont know that!"

Yes I do.

Revelation 6:14

just a few verses after

'The Souls of The Martyrs."

And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.

30 foot land tides.

Think about it.

This is what man is gonna get 

for thinking he is in charge

and this is just the start.

People thinkin

they gonna get 

"poofed up out of here" 

my ass.

Thats exactly what Satan 

wanted you to think.

There is more truth in that statement

above than there ever will be

for Avi Loeb's engines or 

"technological thrusters"

or any other kinda 

garbage nonsense.

IT IS TIME TO GROWN UP
AND REALIZE

EXACTLY 

WHAT IS GOING ON 

IN YOUR WORLD

AND WHY THAT IS SO.
