  • Seven Seals! and Seven Trumpets!

    Seven Seals! and Seven Trumpets!

    We have all heard about the Great Apocalypse of THE END! Scripture reveals this fulfillment in many places: Daniel, Matthew, Revelation & other Books from Scripture. Seven angels, seven seals, seven trumpets and consequently seven bowls of God’s wrath!

    Listen & read on..

    As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the talmidim came to him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? What is the sign of your coming, and of the end of the age?”

    Matthew 24 :: Hebrew Names Version (HNV)

    Yeshua answered them, “Be careful that no one leads you astray.

    Revelation 8:2 KJV apokalypsis of the 7th seal pictured 2 (of seven trumpets) shofars

    Seven Trumpets!

    When a trumpet is blown, hear!

    (All you inhabitants of the world.. when a signal is raised on the mountains, look!)

  • Blessed are those who may enter by the gates

    Blessed are those who may enter by the gates

    photo sunset over calm purple waters -" To the one who conquers, I will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.

    Blessed are those who wash their robes,

    so that they will have the right to the tree of life, and may enter the city by the gates.

    [For] Outside are the dogs, the sorcerers, the sexually immoral persons, the murderers, the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices lying..

    Revelation of Jesus Christ to John 22:14-15 NASB20

    Doxology – Blessed are YOU, LORD God!

    blessed

    Beatitude, we think; ‘Blessed are you when..’

    and Jesus personally embraces the crowds in His sermon on the mount. Doxology, however, is when we bless God.

    Praise God from whom all blessing flow.

    In Christ Jesus doxology becomes the sweet water of God’s love flowing towards us from our Father in heaven and the tree of eternal life.

    Throughout the Bible faithful men praise the LORD, ‘Blessed are you, O Lord’ and the LORD also blessed them of His chosen ones.

    Scriptures

    I will not quote all Books from both the Old and New Testaments. So here I will mention just a few favorite quotes. Perhaps my favorite is the warm personal greeting of Paul and Timothy to Corinth and their praise of God.

    2 Samuel 6:18

    Psalm 34:8

    Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good!
    Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him!

    2 Corinthians 1

    Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and our brother Timothy, To the church of God which is at Corinth with all the saints who are throughout Achaia:

    2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

    Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction so that we will be able to comfort those who are in any affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

  • Who will keep watch at the gates?

    Who will keep watch at the gates?

    From the Watchtower

    Are YOU a watchman on the watchtower of Scripture given by God?

    Does your Shepherd preach TRUE Scripture without distortion?
    Note from Doctrine of the Bible: 
Some contemporary ‘translations’ of the Bible are *biased against true Scripture and do NOT actually translate Scripture from the original Hebrew and Greek. *Examples of Anti-Trinitarian bias of the NWT (New World Translation) of the Jehovah Witnesses cult

    (Don’t be misled by that Watchtower of the cult which denies Christ Jesus by twos and distorts Scripture.)

    Is your Pastor a Gatekeeper of Scripture?

    Scripture reveals TRUE identity of the approaching enemy as well as the True Shepherd and faithful shepherds of the sheep of the Lord.

    The Gatekeeper Determines: ‘Who may enter the gate?’

    Speaking of gates.. (see yesterday’s post) .. Last year in 2020 I wrote mostly from John’s Gospel. And from the scene of Jerusalem we took a look at gates and watchtowers. Today our examples teach from both Old Testament & New Testament Scripture. Apply the imagery of these gatekeepers and watchtowers to your church.

    IF ANY may enter, expect wolves to be hidden among the flock which claims to be ‘the Lord’s.

    It was common practice of the people, including shepherds leading sheep for the slaughter of the sacrifice, to travel here from far away hills and trade within Jerusalem’s walls. Then they worshiped within the courts of their Temple, surrounded by walls of watchmen.

    The gatekeeper is much more than a ticket taker, so to speak, a man of authority.

    from “The Gatekeeper & the Shepherds – Part 1

    Scriptures

    2 Samuel 18-19

    “This one also is bringing good news.”


    So it appears, but is he?

    Ezra 1:2

    Hebrews 3

    Nehemiah 2,4,11 (excerpts)

    1 Chronicles 9

    Isaiah 60

    His watchmen are blind,

    All of them know nothing.

    All of them are mute dogs unable to bark,

    Dreamers lying down, who love to slumber;

    And the dogs are greedy, they are not satisfied.

    And they are shepherds who have no understanding;

    They have all turned to their own way,

    Isaiah 56:10-11a NASB
