IN THIS CHAPTER WE ARE GOING TO ADDRESS THE FOUR WINDS, THE ELEMENTS THAT HOLD BACK, OR EXECUTE THE COMMAND TO BRING FORTH THE WRATH OF GOD.
ALSO ABOUT THE 144,000 GOD'S ELECT THAT WILL BE SEALED WITH GOD'S TRUTH.
Revelation 7:1 And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds (# 4 IS SYMBOLIC OF THE EARTH) of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth (TO BRING DESTRUCTION), nor on the sea, nor on any tree (THEY HOLD THE END UNTIL THE TRUTH IS SEALED IN THEIR MINDS).
MAKE A NOTE OF DANIEL 7:2, EZEKIEL 37.
EZEKIEL WAS PROPHESYING TO THE DRY BONES (SPIR. DEAD) ; THE FOUR WINDS ARE BEING UTILIZED.
7:2 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,
THEY WERE ABOUT TO BRING THE TRIBULATION AND THE END.
7:3 Saying, "Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of God in their foreheads."
DON'T BRING THE END YET UNTIL THE 144,000 OF GOD'S ELECT ARE SEALED WITH THE TRUTH.
7:4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.
THESE 144,000 ARE FROM THE TRIBES (SEPARATE FROM THE SEVEN THOUSAND THAT HAD ALREADY BE SEALED, ROMANS 11:4).
ISRAEL IS NOT THE TODAY'S COUNTRY OF ISRAEL (See our complete study of the tribes of Israel).
THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL AND THE HOUSE OF JUDAH GOT SEPARATED IN 600 B.C. (DUE TO IDOLATRY).
THEY WILL BECOME ONE AGAIN UPON CHRIST'S RETURN.
ISRAEL = CELTS, ANGLO-SAXONS (SAXONS = SONS OF ISAAC), VIKINGS, IBERIANS.
JUDAH = JEWS = THE ROYAL SEED.
ALL THE ROYALS COME FROM THE TRIBE OF JUDAH.
YOU CAN RECOGNIZE THEM BY THEIR FLAGS.
7:5 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.
ONLY 12,000 JEWS WERE SEALED.
7:6 Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nepthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand.
7:7 Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi (THE PRIESTHOOD) were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand.
THERE ARE NOT A LOT OF GOD'S ELECT.
THIS IS WHY OTHER CHRISTIANS WILL JUDGE YOUAND ARGUE WITH YOU WHEN YOU TEACH THE TRUTH. THEY HAVE BLINDERS ON FOR THEIR OWN PROTECTION (ROMANS 11:7-10). THEY ARE NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO STAND FOR CHRIST.
THEREFORE, GOD HAS PUT BLINDERS ON SO THEY WON'T FOLLOW SATAN KNOWNIGLY. BECAUSE IF THEY DO THAT THEY WILL BE ERASED FROM THE BOOK OF LIFE.
7:8 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.
DAN AND EPHRAIM ARE OMITTED (BECAUSE OF IDOLATRY, BUT THEY WILL BE REINSTATED BACK AT THE END OF THE MILLENNIUM = EZEKIEL 48), LEVI AND JOSEPH TAKING THEIR PLACES.
THEIR RESTORATION IS SHOWN IN EZEKIEL 48, THE REASON BEING GIVEN IN ROMANS 11:29.
7:9 After this I beheld (LOOKED), and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations (GENTILES), and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
THESE ARE THE GENTILES THAT BELIEVED ON CHRIST (THEY ARE CALLED ISRAEL BY ADOPTION) AND MADE IT TO ETERNITY.
7:10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, "Salvation to our God Which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb."
THESE PEOPLE ARE IN ETERNITY; THEY ALREADY OVERCAME.
7:11 And all the angels stood around about the throne, and about the elders (THE 12 PATRIARCHS AND THE 12 APOSTLES) and the four beasts (THE FOUR CHERUBIM THAT GUARD THE MERCY SEAT), and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,
7:12 Saying, "Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honor, and power, and might, be unto our God forever and ever.
THEY HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED THE SEVEN THINGS OF REV. 5:12-13, AND IT'S AFTER THE FACT.
WHAT DID THEY RECEIVE ? POWER, RICHES, WISDOM, STRENGTH, HONOR, GLORY, BLESSING.
7:13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, "What are these which are arrayed in white robes ? and whence came they?
MAKE A NOTE OF REV. 19.
7:14 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.
THESE ARE THE PEOPLE THAT OVERCAME THE GREAT TRIBULATION, AND DID NOT WORSHIP SATAN THINKING HE IS CHRIST.
THEY WASHED THEIR ROBES CLEAN (A FIGURE OF SPEACH). THEY ARE THE VIRGIN BRIDE OF CHRIST.
7:15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve Him day and night (HEBRAISM=FIGURE OF SPEECH. IT MEANS CONTINUALLY) in His Temple: and He That sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them (GOD IS THERE = YAHAVEH SHAMMAH = LAST VERSE OF EZEKIEL 48).
THEY WEREN'T RAPTURED AWAY BUT WENT THROUGH THE GREAT TRIBULATION AND OVERCAME.
THE ONES WHO THINK THEY WILL BE RAPTURED AWAY WILL BE DECEIVED BY SATAN.
7:16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst anymore; neither shall the sun light on them (THEY WOULD FEEL COMFORTABLE), nor any heat.
WE ARE GOING TO BE IN OUR SPIRITUAL BODY, THEREFORE, WE ARE IMMUNE TO THIS.
7:17 For the Lamb Which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them (SHEPHERD THEM), and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters ( FOUNTAINS OF WATERS OF LIFE IN THE GREEK): and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes (ERASE ALL THE BAD THINGS LIKE THEY NEVER EXISTED)."
THE HOUR OF TEMPTATION ON OUR NEXT STUDY.
GOD BLESS
