Before we get started let's ask a word of wisdom
from Father, in Jesus name we pray.
1 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat
on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.
This expression "within and on the backside"
means all inclusive or complete. So what we have before us is the Living Word holding the word in His right hand.
2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with
a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?
It is not written who is this strong angel
is but in my opinion I would think it is the arch-angel, Michael.
3 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither
under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.
This figure of speech "no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither
under the earth," means the whole host of God's children either in their terrestrial or celestial body.
4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open
and to read the book, neither to look thereon.
Since we are all sinners and fall short of the glory of God
it explains why "no man" was found worthy. Let's remember that Christ has told us all things. So as He opens the seals I pray
some of us will have ears to hear.
5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep
not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals
thereof.
We see a small part in this verse that we don't
need to over look. Because it is a notch in the key of David. The Root of David. Christ came from this bloodline. He had to
be of this lineage to fulfill what was written. Also we see the Lion as a symbol of the tribe of Juda, their standard or flag.
6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the
throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven
eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.
Of course we know the Lamb slain was Yashua
Messiah! (Companion Bible pg 1890 states "Horns: a symbol indicating His power). These seven spirits that are sent forth to
all the earth are basically God's election. Of course seven means spiritual completeness. I know that we are talking about
the same spirits or entities that are referred to in the book of Romans. So let's go there.
Rom 11:4
4 But what saith the answer of
God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.
I think that pretty well covers that so let's
go back to Rev.
7 And he came and took the book out of the
right hand of him that sat upon the throne.
Notice He didn't ask for the book, He took
it.
8 And when he had taken the book, the four
beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours,
which are the prayers of saints.
Here we see what happens to our prayers. So
don't tell me that God doesn't hear our prayers. Because we can see here He definitely has them stored close at hand.
9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art
worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out
of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall
reign on the earth.
We see here that if Christ had not paid the
price so we could repent of our sins we would all perish. In verse 10 we see those that overcome become kings and priests
to reign on earth. You know, like how Christ taught us to pray: "Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
Thy
kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven".
God's Kingdom is coming to earth! Heaven is where God is
and God is coming to earth!
11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many
angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and
thousands of thousands;
How can anyone say that only 144,000 will make
it to heaven? Here we have tens of thousands that have already washed their robes.
12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the
Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.
These are the powers that make up the seven
horns.
13 And every creature which is in heaven, and
on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour,
and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.
14 And the four beasts
said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever.
What does the word amen mean? That is that.
This poem by Linda, which is the first one she wrote, fits right in with the seven seals. So I just had to include it here
for you all to enjoy. I think this is great and I hope you enjoy it also.
I see riders on the
scene, nothing's as it seems to be
The rider on the milk white steed spills his lies upon the
sea
O, Father, what will become of me, living in this poison sea?
Hum---
War rides high on a crimson steed, prophesied of Esau's seed
And riding in his
murderous wake, Hunger on a black horse waits
He tips the scales; he reeks deceit--one day's
wage for the bread I eat
Child, eat my word-hold fast my name
And I'll give you latter rain!
O,
Father, what will become of me living in this hungry sea
The famine in these perilous days,
is not for the food we crave
Remember, child, I told you plain-these things must come to be
Hum-----
The pale horse rides, his load is great. Death and hell must have their place
My Father
is so kind to me, his word my covering
The wine and oil, Death cannot stain, God's seal in place
remains
Child,
eat my word-hold fast my name
And I'll give you latter rain!
The Seventh seal, my Lord
awaits, sitting on a shining steed
The Lightning fell, the darkness great, now the sea awaits her fate
The
angels four--destruction waits-- God's seal must be in place
Hum-----
My
Lord foretold me all these things, by His Word, my seal remains
Don't be deceived to Satans
bed, fill your heart with God instead
Study His Word, get His plan straight-- don't partake
of Babylons fate
Child, eat my word--hold fast my name
And I'll give you latter rain!
Child, eat my word-hold fast my name
And Ill give
you latter rain!
I see riders on the scene--nothing's as it seems to be..................

Here in chapter 6 of Revelation,
we will see Christ opening the seals for us. For He is the only one that is worthy to do so. I have to tell you that the seals
are not in the same order as the trumpets. But the seals and the trumpets and the vials and even the thunders are all the
same 7 things. We will be going back and forth from Revelation to Mark 13, Matthew 24 and Luke 21. First of all what does
the number 7 equal in the code of GOD'S word? "7 = spiritual completeness"
Rev. 6
1 And I saw when the Lamb
opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.
Do you want to see? You know while
Christ was walking on the earth He told us all things. So that means we should be able to go somewhere in the red-letterings
of the New Testament and hear it from the mouth that has the two-edged sword.
2 And I saw, and behold a white horse:
and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.
You will notice in this verse that
this is not somebody who has earned a crown, but it was given to him. I think it would be wise to check out this word "bow"
in the Strong's:
5115 toxon (tox'-on);
from
the base of 5088; a bow (apparently as the simplest fabric): KJV-- bow.
He sure is toxic alright! A cheap
imiatation, a copycat, a fake. But let's remember these are not in correct order. Now let's go to Mark 13, where Christ is
asked in private by 4 of His disciples to tell them some signs on how it would be at the second advent.
Mark 13:1-6
1 And
as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him, Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings are
here!
2 And Jesus answering said unto him, Seest thou
these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked
him privately,
4 Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?
5
And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed
lest any man deceive you:
6 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
Here in verse 6 Christ
gives us the first seal in plain english. And I might add that this seal was opened a long time ago. For many have come teaching
false doctrines. This is part of the reason why we have ONE Bible and 4000 denominations or close to that many. Let's look
at Matt.24.
Matt.24
4
And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ;
and shall deceive many.
Luke
21:
7 And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign will there be when these things
shall come to pass?
8 And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall
come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.
Rev.6
3 And when he had opened
the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.
4 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.
Again I ask you "do you want to see"?
Horses always represent strength. Here we see that this horse and rider bring war. I wonder what is written in the next verse
of Mark 13....
Mark 13:7
7 And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such
things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet.
Ain't that amazing! Christ hit it
right on the head! Imagine that! Now we have to ask what is the opposite of war? Of course the answer is peace. Have you heard
anyone crying peace lately? Let's let Christ open the 3rd seal for us.
Rev.6
5 And when he had opened
the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had
a pair of balances in his hand.
6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny,
and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.
What happens after war? Inflation
and famine just to name a couple. I tell you if you look at yourself you'll see that this seal is open and applies to our
everyday lives. You may say "I make $20.00 an hour and I am living better than ever!". It's not how much money you make, it's
how much you keep that counts. If you count the interest, taxes and inflated prices you have to pay out, you don't have much
left. Maybe enough to buy a loaf bread at the end of the day.
Rev.6
7 And when he had opened
the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and
his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the
earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
Matt
24:7-8
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there
shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
8
All these are the beginning of sorrows.
First of all we still see war here.
As far as the famines, it is written in Amos 8:11 that in the end times the famine would not be for bread and water but
for hearing the word of God. Have you seen any pestilences in recent times? I noticed in the news that last year we had over
800 earthquakes around the world. I believe in my heart this is where we are at today. I think you see by now that Mark 13,
Matthew 24, and Luke 21 are all talking about the same thing. So rather than using all three accounts, I believe we will stick
with Matthew.
Rev. 6
9 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?
To me this verse documents
that those that have been murdered are waiting for those that murdered them to be judged. Which is something that will happen
on judgement day.
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.
I was taught as a child in church
that the souls of all who had died were in the ground waiting for the rapture to happen. We see here in verse 9 that the souls
are in heaven. Not in some hole in the ground. Our Father is the God of the living not the dead. You can also see they are
asking for revenge. But there is still work to be done by their fellowservants. You may see your own destiny in this. Now
let's go back to Matthew and see what Christ tells us there.
Matt 24:9-10
9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill
you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
10
And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
Again what was said in Rev. 6 lines
up perfectly with what Christ tells us in Matt. 24:9. The anti-christ is not going to catch many souls by playing Hitler.
He's coming to play Jesus. The only the thing that he could kill or steal from you is your soul! It is written that the only
two people that will be killed are the two witnesses. But I don't want to get ahead of the word. Remember that if you know
that the anti-christ is coming first and you allow him to deceive you, you commit the unforgivable sin. Let's go back to Rev.6.
12 And I beheld when he had opened
the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became
as blood;
13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken
of a mighty wind.
This expression "the sun became black
as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood", if you think about it when you have a lunar eclipse the sun becomes dark
on the moon and in the years of 1997 and 1998 we saw this happen and the moon was red in color. The stars in verse 13 are
symbolic of that morning star and the fallen angels that when Michael and his angels throw Satan and his angels from heaven
they're coming to earth. The last part of verse 13 is like telling you not to be harvested out of season or rather not
to be deceived by the fake christ that is coming first. Let's go now to Matt 24 to see what it says.
Matt 24
11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax
cold.
13 But he that shall endure unto
the end, the same shall be saved.
This is the second time for emphasis
that Christ warns us about false prophets. Because of the deceivers of the religions of the world today people are not
following what Christ says, but what that religious system says. But wait a minute, I thought all you had to do is believe
to be saved. Endure unto the end of what? Endure unto the end of anti-christ tribulation. Only those that do not worship the
beast, neither his image, neither had received the mark in their forehead, will be the overcomers, the bride of the first
resurrection. I'll document this statement with the book of Revelation.
Rev 20:4-5
4 And I saw thrones,
and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of
Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon
their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
5 But the rest of the dead
lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
14
And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations;
and then shall the end come.
Mark 13:9-11
9 But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to
councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony
against them.
10 And
the gospel must first be published among all nations.
11 But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do
ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost.
These people that are delivered up
are the 7000 that God told Elias (Elijah) that would not bow a knee to Baal (anti-christ). They didn't before when the red
dragon deceived one third of the stars (God's children) and they won't during the anti-christ's future reign. When they are
delivered up they will not premeditate what they will speak. But they will speak what the Holy Spirit will give them to speak.
And the whole world will understand what they are speaking in their own language without an interpreter because this is the
evidence of the Holy Spirit speaking as it was spoken on Pentecost Day. You can document this in Acts 2. Now back to
Matt.24.
15
When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand
in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
In this verse, the abomination of
desolations is the anti-christ sitting where he ought not be sitting. Pretending to be God. Exaulting himself above God, playing
Jesus. You can document this further in 2 Thess. 2. So let's return to Matt.24.
16
Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing
out of his house:
18 Neither let him which
is in the field return back to take his clothes.
These verses tell you that the anti-christ
has a short reign. And when he is here we are getting real close to the end of this earth age. If you want to know how
long Satan has on earth, hang on a little longer because it is written just a little further in Revelation. Back to Matt.24
19
And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
This verse seems to be contrary to
God's word and is if you take it literally. Since He told the people in the beginning to replenish the earth, having children
and breast feeding your child is not anything to worry about. So taking these things into consideration, and knowing Christ
is coming to take a bride, so is the anti-christ. Satan's bride is known as lady Babylon and is made up of the people that
he deceives. Verse 19 of Matt. 24 means to have been deceived by Satan and doing his work. Christ is coming for a virgin
bride. Not someone who has been taken in by the fake christ.
Matt.24
20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not
since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
I don't know about you folks, but
I get excited by how Christ explains these events with such simplicity. So far we have not read of the coming of Christ or
rapture before the anti-christ. All these seals are opened before Christ comes back. Christ comes in the last trumpet, the
furthest one out. Most 5 year olds can tell you the number 6 comes before 7. Can you count? Okay back to Revelation.
14 And the heaven departed as a scroll
when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
15 And the kings of the earth, and
the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves
in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
Hide themselves indeed! For when
they are instantly changed into their spiritual bodies, which happens when the true Christ comes, instantly they will know
they have been had by the fake christ! Such shame and grief is beyond our comprehension in the flesh.
16 And said to the mountains and
rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
17 For
the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
Who will stand on this day? Those
that have been taught the truth of God's word and have the seal of God in their foreheads will stand! They have no shame,
they have obeyed God and been prepared to stand before death! They will be used by God and allow the Holy Spirit to speak
through them in front of the multitudes that are deceived by Satan! But the people who wish for the mountains and rocks to
fall on them are in great shame for they know that they were deceived by the fake christ! They just want to die or hide from
the face of the Lord! These are the same ones that run to Christ and say "I have healed in your name and I have cast out demons
in your name. And Christ tells them get away from me, I never knew you! Be sure you are not one of these people! Don't just
play church, study your Father's word!
