Revelation 10

[for_his_glory]

Chapter 10

Vs. 1-3
This angel represents the glory of the Lord and His government above the firmament. The bow is the same one seen in Genesis 9:13; Ezekiel 1:28 of Gods covenant He made between Him and the earth. The sun and fire represents the Glory of God in His brilliance and great power. The seven thunders are the voice of God saying He will judge the ends of the earth and give strength to his anointed people and enlarge His anointing upon them as they have the seven spirits of God upon them, Isaiah 11:2.

The anointing of the Holy Spirit will be even greater during the time of the seventh trumpet on those who are sealed by Gods Holy Spirit as by then much of the world will have lost most of its food and fresh water resources. Many will face unemployment losing everything they owned. Those on earth that have not Gods seal on them will be rioting in the streets looting and killing each other to take away what another might have left to live on. Chaos will run rampant through the streets until Marshall Law will come into effect to maintain order.

Gods anointed children that continue in the witness and testimony of the Lord will draw even closer to their faith that is Christ Jesus as they will also face many trials and temptations. They will endure much persecution, 2 Timothy 3:12; Matthew 24:13, even to death by the hands of the enemies against God that will also include their own family members that have not repented, Matthew 10:34-39; Mark 13:12; Luke 12:53, as they are lovers of self, 2 Timothy 3:1-7 and have no regard for anyone. God said not to fear that which man can do to us, but fear or in other words respect God who is able to destroy both soul and body of those of who refuse to repent, Matthew 10:28.

The time of Gods final wrath within the seven trumpets sounding will be a time of the worst tribulation the entire world has ever known or will ever see again, Matthew 24:21. Those who are Spiritually born from above are protected from Gods wrath falling on them as they have Gods seal on them and God will take care of their needs as He always has in the past, Philippians 4:19. They will though have a hard time having to watch so much overwhelming devastation fall before their eyes as they watch all of Gods chastisements falling on the earth and mankind. It will be particularly hard to watch their own family members that have not repented and turn back to God as they are consumed with the rest of mankind.

This will be a time of greater faith then any other time in ones life as in forsaking all to follow Jesus taking no care for even yourself what you should wear or eat, Matthew 6:24, 25; Matthew 19:29, as our only concern needs to be taking Gods word into all the nations as then will the end of days be finished and Jesus will at that time on the last day return for His Bride who is the true Church of God, Matthew 24:14; John 6:40.

Vs. 4-6
John was not allowed to write down what the seven thunders voiced as it was not yet due time to reveal this mystery of God until the seventh angel sounds his trumpet then the mystery of God will be finished.

Many more will be added unto God before the return of Jesus as it will take God shaking the earth in order for some to finally open their eyes and repent as they come back to His mercy and grace. The little book is that of all things yet to come as God is not done shaking the earth yet and when all things are finished then there will be great rejoicing in heaven as all glory will then be given to God Psalms 29:1-10; Revelation 21:6, 7.

Vs. 7-11
The seventh angel is the one with the seventh trumpet and when he sounds the mystery of God or in other words all things of these revelations that are written in the little book will be finished as Jesus already told the Disciples in the outline of Matthew 24 that from Revelation Chapter 8:6 – 11:14 are the first three and a half years of this seven year tribulation period and the last three and a half will start in Revelation 11:15 with the beginning of the seventh trumpet sound.

John is now told to take the little book from the angels hand and eat it. It was sweet in his mouth as in the glory of the Lord that will soon come for His Bride as they have received the promise of Gods blessings for obedience and have eternal life with the Father, Deuteronomy 28:1-14, Romans 6:23. After eating the book it was bitter in the belly as those who reject Jesus and repent not of their sin will face Gods final wrath poured out on them as they cling onto their devil worshiping giving honor and glory to their idols made of hands that are gods before them, Leviticus 26:1-46; Deuteronomy 27:11-26; 28:15-19.

We need to preach in boldness of truth and teach others as the Holy Spirit teaches us, John 14:26. The spirit of Jezebel runs rampant throughout the land spreading lies from the pulpit that seem pleasing to the ears as many would rather believe their Pastor instead of searching and Spiritually discern what they are being taught, Matthew 7: 21-23, John 3-3-7; Acts 19:1-6; Romans 10:9, 10; 1 John 4:1-6.

Amen

Take it and eat it up,( digest it, )make thy belly bitter, (feel bad about the deceived), sweet as honey, (good news)

Ezek.2:8-10
But thou son of man,hear what I say to thee, Be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house, open thy mouth, and eat that I give you.
And when I looked, behold, an hand was sent unto me, and lo, a roll of a book was therein,
And He spread it before me, and it was written within and without, and there was written therein Lamentations, and mourning, and woe.

Ezek.3:1-14
Moreover He said to me, eat that thou findest, eat this roll, and go speak unto the house of Israel.
So I opened my mouth, and caused me to eat that roll.

Then did I eat it, and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness.....

Behold, I have made thy face strong against their faces, and thy forehead strong against their foreheads.
As an adamant harder than flint have I made thy forehead, fear them not, neither be dismayed at their looks.......

So the Spirit lifted me up, and took me away, and I went in bitterness, in the heat of the Spirit, but the hand of the Lord was strong upon Me.

 

[for_his_glory]

Take it and eat it up,( digest it, )make thy belly bitter, (feel bad about the deceived), sweet as honey, (good news)

I like the way you put this as it brings light to what was written.

Jeremiah 15:16 Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts. 17 I sat not in the assembly of the mockers, nor rejoiced; I sat alone because of thy hand: for thou hast filled me with indignation.

The Lord has filled us with indignation (offense) of those who mock Him nor rejoice in all His glory. We do stand alone in our commitment to the Lord as everyone's walk with Him is different, but yet to the common good of His name.

" Then I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels, “Go, pour out the bowls of the wrath of God on the earth.” Revelation 16:1

"I saw another great and marvelous sign in heaven: seven angels having the seven last plagues, for in them the wrath of God is complete. 2 And I saw what looked like a sea of glass mixed with fire, and those who have the victory over the beast, over his image and over his mark and over the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass, having harps of God. Revelation 15:1-2

As per Revelation 15 & 16 the saved of our era (overcomers of the Beast) will be safe in heaven with Jesus when God's angels pour the wrath of God onto the earth/kingdom of the Beast.

I don't know what she thinks, but as for me,
Rev.14:12,13
Here is the patience of the saints, here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus...
Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth, that they may rest from their labours, and their works do follow them.

Rev.6:9-11
I saw the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held.
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?
And white robes were given unto everyone of them, it was said unto them, that they should rest yet, for a little season, until their fellowservants and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.

1Thess.1:14
For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with Him.

How many have died since the beginning of this earth age?
A bunch!

First off we are talking about the little book and why John was not allowed to write down the things the seven thunders spoke to him. We are not discussing some pretrib fantasy that is not found in scripture that you and I have discussed many times in length. You can ignore what Jesus said in John 3:13 and believe the website you hold on to as being truth as that is your choice.

If you would like to discuss the little book, which the topic is about, I will be happy to discuss that with you.

You contend the saved are on earth when God's wrath is poured out onto the earth. Revelation 15 & 16 make it clear the saved (overcomers of the Beast) are safe in heaven when God's wrath is poured out on the kingdom of the Beast.

The people on earth when God's wrath is poured onto the earth won't have God's seal on them. They will have the mark of the Beast on them. Of course some of these lost people will (thanks to such as you) have thought the mark of the Beast was God's seal.

"I saw another great and marvelous sign in heaven: seven angels having the seven last plagues, for in them the wrath of God is complete. 2 And I saw what looked like a sea of glass mixed with fire, and those who have the victory over the beast, over his image and over his mark and over the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass, having harps of God.

How many times does the wrath of God, Lamb, come?

Rev.6:17
For the great day of His wrath is come. ( Seal )
Rev.11:18
And Thy wrath is come, reward the saints... (Trumpet)
Rev.16:1
Pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth. (Vial)

Those whom have the seal of God are going through the tribulation.
Rev.9:4
Should hurt only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
Rev.14:9-13
If ANY MAN worship the beast, the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God.
Here is the patience of the saints...
Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth, ...

Hope that helped ya...

Your above helps no one. Just muddys the water.

The Rev 16:1 pouring out of the wrath is the ONLY pouring out of the wrath of God that is soon to come and pertinent to the issue at hand (which is: where are the saved OF OUR ERA when the wrath is poured out ?)

If you understood how close we are to the emergence of the supreme Beast (Rev 13) and the marking (as per Revelation 15) and the beheading of the saved, then you'd know Revelation 16:1 is the pertinent time of wrath being poured out.

Rev 15 and 16 make it clear the saved (overcomers of the Beast) are in heaven when God's wrath is poured out. Of course Satan would have us believe God pours out his wrath on the earth while God's own people are on the earth.

Rev 15 ... saved/overcomers of the Beast are in heaven with Jesus.
Rev 16 .... then wrath is poured out onto the kingdom of the Beast on earth.

 

[for_his_glory]

Of course some of these lost people will (thanks to such as you) have thought the mark of the Beast was God's seal.

It's replies like this that you assume others are teaching a false doctrine as I never taught the mark of the beast was God's seal. You literally say those who do not agree with you are ignorant. It is you that ignore the scriptures we have discussed in length, especially the one that states no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven, John 3:13.

I know you will blow this off, but here are the scriptures that state we, being the body of Christ, will be here on earth, either alive at His coming or a sleep in the grave.

John 3:13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.
John 5:28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, 29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
John 6:40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

The Church, which represents the bride of Christ, will face seeing much tribulation as it will be hard to bare seeing Gods wrath poured out on the unjust as we are sent out to preach to them before we enter into the kingdom of God. There are many false teachings that teach we are taken out of here before some seven year Great Tribulation, but there is no scripture that speaks of a seven year Great Tribulation. Some also teach that after Rev Chapter 4 the Church is no longer here on earth. If this were the case then why did Jesus say that those who endure until the end will be saved. The end of what, the end of days or as scripture calls it that great and terrible day of the Lord when final judgment will be passed as the Sheep are separated from the goats and the goats are cast into the lake of fire with Satan, the beast and false prophets.

By studying all the scriptures below in Revelations I come to the conclusion we will see much tribulation, but not to fear what must come, but stand strong in the faith of Christ Jesus so we can endure until the coming of the Lord and be His witnesses as a faithful servant until He returns. God's wrath is not for the elect of God as they are kept from it falling on them and when we see the abomination that causes desolation, Daniel Chapter 7; Matthew 24:15-22; Rev Chapter 13, we are to flee from taking its mark as we stand in the Holy place which is our faith in Christ that we need not fear that which has to come first before Christ returns, Matthew 10:28, but that we need to be prepared as His Bride when He does return on the last day and destroys the beast and false prophet at His coming, Rev 19.

Act 14:22 Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God

Mat 24:13,29-31 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

Matthew 24:29-31; Rev 3:5; 19:8 Jesus is telling us to watch for the signs of His coming and to overcome so that our names are not blotted out of the Lamb's book of life.

Rev 5:13; 6:17; 7:1-5 On earth and under the earth are those who are still here until the end of days as God's wrath begins with the opening of the seventh seal

Rev 6:9-11 Note where John says fellow servants and brethren that should be killed as they were, which means those of the elect of God who refuse to take the mark of the beast and will die a martyr's death for their faith in Christ.

Rev 7:13-17 Which came out of great tribulation is the fullness of the Gentiles who also died a martyr's death for the sake of Christ

Rev 8:13 Three woes are that of warning the people on earth that the last three trumpets are about to sound

Rev 13:11-18 Here John is showing us about mystery Babylon ruling the world again as a one world government. 666 represents action of the hands and thoughts of the mind

Amen!
I agree with most of what you say here, except, where are the dead?
When Jesus was crucified, He told one of the thieves, Today, thou shalt be with me in Paradise. Luke 23:43
1Thess.1:14
For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them which sleep (rest) in Jesus will God bring with Him.
We can not prevent (precede) them because they are already there.
Matt.24:31
They shall gather His Elect from the 4 winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
Mark 13:27
Gather together His elect from the 4 winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.

God is not the God of the dead but of the living. Matt.22:32

What about God's fierce wrath during the timing of the first six trumpets that are poured out into the earth as God shakes the earth in hopes that many will return back to Him. This happens before the son of perdition takes his literal throne in Jerusalem.

The seven vial judgments of God in Rev 16:1-21 are only poured out on those who have taken the mark of the beast. This is a separate judgment from the first six trumpets.

Amen!
I agree with most of what you say here, except, where are the dead?
When Jesus was crucified, He told one of the thieves, Today, thou shalt be with me in Paradise. Luke 23:43
1Thess.1:14
For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them which sleep (rest) in Jesus will God bring with Him.
We can not prevent (precede) them because they are already there.
Matt.24:31
They shall gather His Elect from the 4 winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
Mark 13:27
Gather together His elect from the 4 winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.

God is not the God of the dead but of the living. Matt.22:32

Today just means that particular day the thief confessed Jesus as Lord and Savior that he too will be in paradise with Jesus when He returns on the last day and sends His angels out to the four corners of the earth to gather those who are alive at His coming and those who are asleep in their graves. The only thing that returns back To God when we die is the very breath/spirit He gave us that made us a living soul, Genesis 2:7; Ecc 12:7.

I think you meant 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18. But look at what vs. 17 says. 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. There is no one that has ever ascended up to heaven according to John 3:13.

You have to read Matthew 24:29-31 to understand the timing when Christ will return and send His angels out to the four corners of the earth. They go from one end of heaven to the other, which means all those who are under the first heaven being the atmosphere high above the earth where the angels come down to and go out to the four corners of the earth.

God is not the God of the dead in spirit, but is the God to all who have His Spirit within them as many that have died are still in Christ as His own.

Matt.27:52,53
And the graves were opened, and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,
And came out of the graves after His resurrection, and went into the holy city and appeared unto many.
As I believe is a one time thing.
If Jesus's body had laid there like they do today, they wouldn't believed He resurrected.
Wouldn't believe there was life after death.
He was transfigured.

Matthew 27:52, 53 is a cross reference to Ezekiel 37:1-14. In both cases it was prophecy fulfilled in the NT as in "and ye shall know that I (Jesus) am Lord" because God raised Him from the dead as He ascended up to the Father to sit at His right hand. It's by what we can see with our eyes in that which we could not perceive unless we saw it happen.

 

[John Prewett]

In Matt 24, Jesus reveals a resurrection which took place some 2000 years ago.
Paul wrote of that same resurrection which took place some 2000 years ago.

YET TO COME is the transferring of the saved our our era to heaven.
During the reign of the Beast, we who remain faithful to Jesus (and show it by refusing to take the "mark" and by refusing to worship the Beast/image) will all be BEHEADED ....

As we are beheaded we will then convene with Jesus in heaven as per Revelation 15.

THEN regardless of other scripture mentions of God's wrath,
God's wrath falls a final time as per Revelation 16.

After convening with Jesus as per Rev 15, the saved will shortly later follow
Jesus back to this world and will reign WITH Christ as per Revelation 20:4.

btw: compared to what Jesus went through, beheading is a "walk in the park"

Only later time that might be construed as God's wrath falling
is at the end of the 1000 year reign of Christ as per Revelation 20:9.

Those in Ezek.37: were spiritually dead.
I prophesied and the Spirit came into them, and they lived.

Could you provide scriptures about the resurrection that happened 2000 years ago in Matt.24

Those in Ezek.37: were spiritually dead.
I prophesied and the Spirit came into them, and they lived.
God's Word brings Life.

Actually Ezekiel was in the Spirit when God gave him the vision where he saw all these dry bones. The vision came to him after God told him to prophesy the restoration of Israel as she had become a dead nation. The prophecy was fulfilled in God making Davis King over Israel so the people would know "I am God".

This is the same prophecy fulfilled in Christ that a descendant of King David would become King of kings and Lord of lords to all the world "and ye shall know that I (Jesus) am Lord", Matthew 27:52,53. It's the same with all those graves opening that all would know Jesus as in I am Lord as only Jesus has power to raise anyone from the dead.
