Did I miss something?
(YES, you did.)
You missed the beginning of the END, because you have not been watching for the triumph of the Lamb of God.
You missed it because you have stopped reading Daniel after the children’s Bible story pictures.
You have missed it because you have not feared the scene of Ezekiel in heaven.
You missed it because you only quote Isaiah at Christmas.
You have missed it because you only read Joel in the New Testament and missed the other prophets of the Bible of Jesus who foretold His coming – Gospel Good News for both JEW & Gentile.
Or you may have missed it because your fathers stood among those who came to John the Baptist of whom he asked:
“You brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?”
Gospel of Matthew 3:7b NASB
Then they will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with tremendous power and glory. He will send out his angels and gather together his chosen people from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of heaven.
Mark 13:26-27 CJB – the prophesy of Jesus, after quoting Daniel, Joel, Isaiah, Ezekiel & Haggai
Returning to Revelation
So let’s go back to unseal the Good News and what happened BEFORE the opening of the seventh seal.
Previously: from Revelation 6:
Terror! – Cowering in the Wrath of the Lamb – opening of the sixth seal.
13 The stars fell from heaven to earth just as a fig tree drops its figs when shaken by a strong wind. The sky receded like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved from its place.
15 Then the earth’s kings, the rulers, the generals, the rich and the mighty — indeed, everyone, slave and free — hid himself in caves and among the rocks in the mountains, and said to the mountains and rocks,
“Fall on us, and hide us from the face of the One sitting on the throne and from the fury of the Lamb! …
It’s a pretty desperate scene of destruction at the end of the last days.
Revelation 7 – Complete Jewish Bible
After this, I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth, so that no wind would blow on the land, on the sea or on any tree.
2 I saw another angel coming up from the east with a seal from the living God, and he shouted to the four angels who had been given power to harm the land and the sea,
3 “Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees until we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads!”
the Gospel for a Remnant of the Chosen
4 I heard how many were sealed — 144,000 from every tribe of the people of Isra’el:
- 12,000 were sealed from each tribe of the people of Isra’el [vs 5-8]
- in A.D. 2021 >14 million Jews in the world (U.S. 2x # of Jews in Israel)
- sadly, a remnant of just 144 thousand saved for faith in the Messiah
NEXT, Lord willing IF the trumpet does NOT sound first, a glance at the gentiles in heaven To be continued...
And lest you think my exhortation above points only to the Jews, our next look (when you turn the page) is for the multitudes of the Gentiles, many of whom you think of as ‘christians’ of some ‘Church.’
