Ephesians 6; Verse 14; The Gospel Armor; Loins-Truth; Heart-Breastplate of Righteousness

Thank you for taking a look †

(Ephesians 6:14) 14Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness."


Overall, let's "man up."

(Job 38:3) "Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me."

Let's look at one other place. God's Word the fruit of the loins is used, in faithfulness what Christ gives us-ward. So we're protecting self from sexual impurity as well having pure motives, by standing for truth Holy Spiritually to physically.

(Isaiah 11:5) "And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins."
Hence the belt and breastplaste combo Paul is teaching here.

(Showing the point how we stand here, a call to be accountable what it means. Obviously we do not answer to satan. Matter of fact we turn it right side up in his face). 

Please refer to end-times study in Ezekiel 13:1-7 for the outline for the end-times false doctrines of the false teachers/prophets.


(Ezekiel 13:5) "Ye have not gone up into the gaps, neither made up the hedge for the house of Israel to stand in the battle in the day of the LORD."
(What puts that Gospel Armor on? Verse by verse learning/teaching/studying filling yourself with the Word of God. The first step of course faith the shield, and faith comes by hearing the Word of the Lord. Remember what Christ said? Fill yourself with the Word in the process suiting up with the armor lest satan with and through the evil spirits come and rob you).

(Luke 11:21-22) "When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace:


22But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils.

Therefore, How should we view this? No one says to a armed robber come in my house tie me up and take whatever you want. By all means make sure you tie it in quadruple knot too! No, who says that? That's what satan wants to do with your mind (bind you up). So, this is a battle of the mind, carried out through the Holy Spirit in Yeshua the Christos name, not our own spirit. Another huge mistake is taking this personal and doing it yourself. I myself, look at as all "business" (the Lord's business), but take it personal as satan thinks he can actually try and win me over. Get mad, get real mad.

The battle of the "fittest",

More negativity that can lead to disaster here. During an evil spirit attack it could also seem it will never end. The endurance part as satan wants you to feel that way, no hope.

No hope, no rest so you might as well give it up. I'd get even more mad. He is the fool without eternal life. He is the fool not fit for the Gospel Armor. Stand up for your savior and Lord.
satan's first m.o. to take over is of course doubt, leading to the negative emotions. The opposite of doubt is of course faith. Faith in who Christ says He is, and what He came to do. The cross, at salvation, and that He will do it. He is in control. You have that you CANNOT and WILL NOT lose. Now remember we already won, we have to do it, stand up in your mind. Not laying on the ground raising up the white flag surrendering. The worse thing you want to be doing is feeling yourself here, coming along with, "why God, why me." Be proud of the fact it's you. The Lord is calling you to stand with confidence in you. You don't send a coward into battle.

(I Peter 1:13) "Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ."

So we will cover both here: The mind and the heart. Every piece of equipment deals with either one. Overall, the breastplate to protect the condition of the heart. Righteousness = The condition acceptable to the Lord (accepting Christ as savior of course), then doing right according to God's laws through Christ, the motives of the heart carried out though the mind. Obviously, if we are living by and thinking of the flesh we are in serious danger here.


(All the Gospel Armor is found in Exodus, Psalms, Deuteronomy--Song of Moses, and Isaiah. And other places).

(Exodus 12:11) "And thus shall ye eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is the LORD'S passover."

(Exodus 28:30) "And thou shalt put in the breastplate of judgment (justice) the Urim and the Thummim; and they shall be upon Aaron's heart, when he goeth in before the LORD: and Aaron shall bear the judgment of the children of Israel upon his heart before the LORD continually."

(Judgment = justice. Hence righteousness doing right according to God's law after that acceptance of Him by and through Christ). 

(Isaiah 59:17) "For he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and an helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloke."

With many references. That being said,

(We're making a stand against satan. Firmly planted and now ready to take ground with confidence though our savior Christ. Doing so satan does not even have one leg to stand on, if you will. Anatomically, the loin area begins below our ribs down to our pelvis in the abdominal area. Why worry and anxiety begins there in the pit of the stomach. Worry and anxiety lead to fear. So we have a tipping point in the stresses in life here. We all have stress but it is as this exact moment we make the choice in how to manage it. Managing it begins filling yourself with the truth of God's Word. In managing stress we need to examine the priorities in life. Most of all whatever it is concerning the things of the world it is not the end of the world. In that regard we must trust the Lord He has only our best interest in heart and mind. All things work for our own good. He is not going to set you on a path of damage, but to protect you. This takes trust after faith in the cross. Meaning, we don't always see the other side of things. The world would call this taking a risk. This is no risk when it comes to the Lord, but all promise).

At this point one has overcome the fear of death thanks to Christ at the cross. Christians are not given a spirit of fear, but the spirit of truth (Romans 8:15; II Timothy 1:7).

This is no mistake confidence though faith comes through doing right as we will look into the breastplate of righteousness next.

Girding up the loins means we stand up and ready to battle. Faith, has already taken over with the shield, and we done away with self-defeating, self-condemning, self-refuting feelings at salvation with that helmet on.

Concerning the end-times, waiting on the Lord, and not letting it get to fear:


(Luke 12:35) "Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning (done by the Holy Spirit)."

So let me ask what else would have to fear? Other questions we need to ask is what is the stress from? ourselves? Trying to help carry others burdens, lightening the load for them? God says that is good. Anything that is pure DO NOT let satan or some man count it as negative. But in our hearts and mind we are serving the Lord for them.

Christians have to deal with this as you come to people with pure motives and are rejected. We cannot let satan or the world get to us in that respect. Christ overcame it and showed us the way. Overall, the point is serving man will bring bitterness. This is huge in the end-times with wormwood (bitterness, and them lamps going out, love waxed cold, making the world an even colder place).

This is why in verse 18, prayer. We begin with prayer to handling (perseverance = adversity) the spiritual/mental battle. Included is praying for the saints. The solution begins there at the stress management tipping point.

I ask once again, through your faith in Christ you have already overcome, now what is else is there to worry and fear about?

Breastplate of righteousness. Righteousness is the condition acceptable to God and then doing right. That being the condition stemming from a pure heart, thus pure motives.

As the breastplate protects the heart standing up with our chest out not in pride or arrogance, but the mindset of making our Father proud. He is proud of his army collectively as they do their part individually.

Furthermore, we also know in the battle field if you leave your position you let others down greatly and put them in harms way. But here we are focusing on self. Therefore, we may be able to help them (you cannot help anyone else if you cannot help yourself). Knowing how to stand we can also help pick others up off the ground.Who looks and leaves a man down on the battle field? That would be pretty cruel. No heart at all.

Finally, This is why the Holy Spirit plays both of these roles (Spirit of truth, the comforter-heart warmer, positive feeling through doing right) and in the life of a Christian. They are conditions. Used in the past tense, so we should have them. The Holy Spirit the spirit of truth. The Holy Spirit the heart-warmer in this cold, cold, world that is in the dark. What can we say? The Holy Spirit in the role of comforter is like a fireplace in an arctic winter day. Cozy, sense of warmness, security without chills.

Christ told us when dealing with satan and his evil messengers/spirits they want your armor. That is done by taking over the mind. The Lord cannot use wimps. Christ talking exactly about the Gospel Armor and what it takes and overall to stop satan's attempted robbery.

(Luke 11:21-22) "When a strong man armed keepeth his palace (their living conditions), his goods are in peace:

22But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils."

It begins with the heart then mind. Here is that peace. Closing going back to where the Gospel Armor originates. The Old Testament.

(Isaiah 59:7) "They do not know the way of peace, And there is no justice in their tracks; They have made their paths crooked, Whoever treads on them does not know peace."(No peace of mind, no justice = no righteousness. Making their own self-righteous way, self-serving).

(Please read Isaiah 59 a little deeper if you will. It goes from us not having salvation and how we live. To salvation and getting this Gospel Armor as referenced above. Begin Isaiah 59:16 for that).

We also know satan is coming to give the world peace message that the world gives. Not the peace the Lord gives at His salvation then doing right according to His Word. So the Lord gives this slicing (the sword) difference in Isaiah 59 as to what brings true peace of mind.

Amen †

Revelation 12; Verses 7-9; Woe Trumpets; Michael Withholds/Michael Wins The War

(Revelation 12:7-9) 7And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,

satan's many names. Obviously not a literal dragon. But he is coming to burn people. Keeping the theme going back to verse 12:1 here. The dragon very similar to traits as a serpent. As later on for the woe trumpets we'll see the water flooding for his flood of lies keep reading, but not in this study directly. Like the days of Noah. As also the fallen angels come with him here. As they did in Genesis 6. What did they do there? They come to destroy the seed line Christ would comes. They could not do that, so here they will try and work on His people. The only chance seemingly in his mind has. Yes, so arrogant he thinks he can win!

With the Gospel Armour he literally does not have a prayer (y)

Quick recap; In the previous verses (5 and6) Christ was taken up to Heaven sitting at the right hand of Father, as savior, and our sacrifice for sin , and intercessor. And the children of Israel are preserved and protected in the wilderness--world (in concordance with the days in Daniel), until Christ comes back.  Michael wins the war here!

Where else can I read this exact place in time in cross reference/double and triple witness?

Old Testament: (Daniel 12:1) "And at that time shall Michael stand up (make a stand), the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble (distress), such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book."

Of course referring to the final generation. Of course referring to the great tribulation. Let's look where else satan is to be revealed here in the end-times and who does it from the New Testament now:

(II Thessalonians 2:6) "And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
Michael is what withholdeth."Who is he?

(II Thessalonians 2:4) "Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God."

(Reference: satan in the flesh as the man of sin in the role of son of perdition).

Moving down your told again, flat out it's satan in them roles:

(II Thessalonians 2:9) "Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders"

This of course, in direct reference with the mark of the beast, as satan come with miracles and wonders. Sign seekers, those looking for a sign--an "epiphany" are in for a world of hurt. The very fact one thinks they need an "epiphany" is an epiphany. Saying they want a reason to believe but cannot find it. The very reason is because of the total void within and separation from their creator before salvation. It cannot be find until one humbles themselves as a little child (teachable, not wise in their own eyes).

Back to Revelation 12:8,

8And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.

(That's that. satan and the fallen angels will never step foot in Heaven again).

9And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

(We're given satans roles he played here. He was himself in the role of serpent (a shiny one--angel of light) in the garden. And the great dragon symbolic for burning people with his words as he comes to issue spiritual death. This guy gets around aye)?

(Does satan spirit enter a man's body? NO. Just as in the garden of Eden he is in the flesh, and himself claiming to be who he is not. As we stated above as well. He is coming as himself in them deceptive roles he does. He will not be born of women). 
References (below) to guide you in the right direction in direct timing to Daniel 12:1, (II Thessalonians as well. Revelation 12, all satan's coming and revealing claiming to be Christ/God.  

(Luke 21:20) "And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh."

(Luke 21:22-23) "For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. 

23But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people."

(Mark 13:14) "But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains."

(Matthew 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:)"

(Matthew 24:21) "For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be."

Amen †

Revelation 8; Verses 6-10; Trumpets 1 & 2; Amos 8; Deuteronomy 32; Song of Moses

(Revelation 8:6-10) "And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.



(So the countdown and rise of Babylon begins here to the one world system here. Quick recap; seals = knowledge and understanding of the events in chronological order (which is why the numbering is for our benefit; everyone can count to 7) to your mind being protected from satan. trumpet(s) = call to action/call to battle as the attempted of our Father through Jesus Christ removed, setting up against God. Psalm 2. Vial(s)/plagues = judgment).


Moving on to verse 7....


7The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.


(Hail and fire are two opposites here. First representing lukewarm. Fire always God's consuming fire which wins out here. As it's written the famine for hearing the Word of the Lord. Hence, that which is living and fresh to hear the Gospel burnt up like a forest fire here).


(Amos 8:11-13) "Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:


(Christ the bread of life, and living water. Two basic essentials in food that we need spiritually first. The LORD of course is saying this is not physical. But the spiritual of course, which leads to the physical through our works done on earth).


12And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it.


(Here we have it. The sea is the people. In the obvious rise of the political beast. Which we will see from the song of Moses below. Why those who overcome will be singing the Moses: Revelation 15:2-3; Revelation 12. Very exciting when we get to those chapters. Here, they are running around getting a sip here, a sip there. A little doctrine here, a little doctrine there. But we have to fill ourselves with God's Word verse by verse, with and in love. Removing any fear that which would make one run to and fro like a chicken with the head chopped off. Christ' biggest warnings, love grown cold to bitterness resulting in fear. Complete love casts out ALL fear. That is first of all doing the Royal law in the two commandments, and being in The Fruits of The Holy Spirit; Romans 8 as well. Not living by the flesh in condemnation, as we're not given a spirit of fear).


13In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst.


(That day symbolic for the whole time period. God is showing here from the physical prettiest to the most strongest in physical energy it all adds up to nothing without Him and His Word(s) that which sustains us and growth. Hence the end of growth through famine. The opposite is green grass and trees living, growing, flourishing being sealed up; Revelation 9:3-4).


8And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood;


(The great mountain here is 1/3 of nations that have come together into the sea becoming one in the build up to the one world system and babylon over the heads. The sea becoming blood is spiritual death, with the blood on them. Hence Revelation 17 she is responsible for the blood shed. Because of first of all without The Savior and lord Jesus Christ in blood for our sins this world has NOTHING).


9And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.


(So we see the spiritual death here. Remember, trumpet 3 we have another 1/3, then trumpet 4 the lead up to after trumpet 6 where satan claims Christ/God, the savior of the world and that last 1/3 is spiritual dead at the hands of false teachers/false prophets with them fake breastplates on. We'll get there and interesting study).


A thirst part of the ships is trade and commerce in the lead to the one world currency overall. We're talking the trade in materialism in what is worshiped, and over the heads here. Which is always symbolic in what is looked up to and in bondage because of that.


Let's take a look at that when babylon falls when Christ comes:


(Revelation 18:7-9) "For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,


(That's what we wanted directly).


18And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!

(A great example of going up in smoke means gone).


19And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness (greed, extortion, excess)! for in one hour is she made desolate."


Moving on to The Song of Moses now:


Let's check out that mountain then the rise to the political beast. Then the importance of the Gospel Armour/Armour of God. Prophesies 3400 years ago. Amazing? (all the Gospel Armour is in the Song of Moses).


(Deuteronomy 32:22) "For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains."


Now quick view from Isaiah 13, the nations coming together plural to mountain singular:


(Isaiah 13:4) "The noise of a multitude in the mountains, like as of a great people; a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together: the LORD of hosts mustereth the host of the battle."


We won't go to here in this study because of length, but please check the verses before and right after there to get the full picture. Verse 6 puts you at the Day of the Lord, which is Christ' coming.


To Deuteronomy 32:24-25,


"They shall be burnt with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, and with bitter destruction: I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them, with the poison of serpents of the dust.


(There began that famine which leads to the political beast and the rise of babylon. The teeth of the beasts that devour and chomp, the flesh. With the deadly doctrine of the off springs of the serpent/those who claim to be jews and are not, do lie, and are of the synagogue of satan. Once again, who is not lukewarm? Smyrna and Philadelphia. The two Churches/Candlesticks Christ approves. Who are being fed by the two witnesses when they come and for the great tribulation standing and overcoming for Jesus Christ).


Luke 10:19-20; Mark 6:9; Ephesians 6:15 to name a few, Why we stomp on them with the Gospel shoes having peace of mind from head to toe/feet. Wherever our feet take us, and shake the dust off. Genesis 3:14-15 God degrading satan, and us through Christ do the same showing all POWER over satan through The Holy Spirit.


Quick look at Mark 6:9-12...


9"But be shod with sandals; and not put on two coats (It means there is only one garment of salvation).


10And he said unto them, In what place soever ye enter into an house, there abide till ye depart from that place.


11And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.


12And they went out, and preached that men should repent.


13And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them."


And so it is.


Back to The Song of Moses,


25The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling also with the man of gray hairs."


(Here it is, The Sword of the Spirit; Ephesians 6;17. Knowledge and understanding of the Gospel Armour missing, what it means, standing with it in power in Holy Spiritual warfare. Without that all fear. What is God showing here? The spiritual foolish virgins who lamps gone out. The suckling woe to those with child! Woe to those who give suck! Meaning that which is about to come a few verses down satan claiming to be Christ/God, fornicating with him, cheating on Christ. Hence removing the garment of salvation and being found naked when Christ comes back. With child as a result reproducing satan's works along thinking it's Jesus, and nursing them along/those who give suck. It means growing and growing. What are we being fed. Refer to Mark 13 for this; Matthew 24; 25 to help you along).

Quick view:


(Mark 13:14-17) "But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:


15And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his house:


16And let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up his garment.


17But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days"!

(They are of course now foolish spiritual virgins lamps gone out. Which we also see in trumpet 3 in an amazing study. The point will be is they think they're spiritual virgins but they are not; Matthew 25:9 also shows you the one world currency in babylon. Please take a look. They are left outside knocking with the door shut from the marriage supper of the lamb because they cheated/fornicated).




We'll leave this study there.


God Bless. Amen.

Revelation 17; Verses 9-11; 7 Mountains; 7 Kingdoms; Who; What; Where; When; Why; How?

(Revelation 17:9-11) And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.

(Okay. Here is a mind that has wisdom? Where else do we read that ? The mark of the beast. To be able to calculate/count the smooth stone worn over time. We have continuously been over satan is a rock, the false rock. Along with satan's children. This is why they will represent the 6th king here. The kenites).

(We know Babylon covers the whole Earth. She sits over all people's of the earth after the beast rises. Therefore, the seven heads on seven mountains are dominions/continents. God is the sharpest social studies teacher I've ever seen).

10And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.

(Number one of course begins with Babylon. When the time of the Gentiles began in control of Jerusalem in the land of Judah. 2) Medo-Persia 3) Greece 4) Rome 5) Muslims 6) the kenites. The nation in control of the land now--the locusts, before satan comes then Christ on day of The Lord. Joel 1:7; Revelation 9:4-12. 7) satan as the king of Babylon. Of course, Daniel chapters 2 and 7, 8. Zechariah 1. The list goes on. But most important overall is to look for when the time of the Gentiles comes to a full in Jerusalem. In this, the parable of the fig tree generation).

(The parable of the fig tree. From Jeremiah 24. The evil figs returning with a remnant of the tribe of Judah in the land of Israel. That came to pass 1948. They claim to be God's chosen and are not. The off springs of the serpent. That is satan).

(Up and down the Bible we learn their characteristics (the kenites--the off springs of the serpent sons of Cain) 1) serpents 2) evil figs 3) locusts 4) lions).

(Finally, in Joel 1. The locusts in the 4th stage, the consumer stage. Come up on the land of Israel and claim it. The 6th king from above. that gives way to satan. What does God then say? Awake drunkards! The wrong wine--blood. That is false mainstream Christianity calling those who call themselves now God's chosen. Once again, Christ only approves of the 2 churches who know who they are. Read it: Revelation 2:9: 3:9 specific. Smyrna and Philadelphia. The rest? Christ is ready to be done with--lukewarm).

11And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition."

(This is where you have to understand the evil trinity. The beast is the one world religious system. Because? satan is the 7th, as the King of Babylon. Where it began, being of the 7. Taking us back to the beginning. This is why all are considered types, that should be studied).

Amen 

Revelation 17; Verses 12-13; Political Beast to Religious Beast/NWO

(Revelation 17:12-13) 'And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.

(This is the one world religious beast. Which does not become Babylon, until that moment satan claims to be God).

(Horns always represent power/control. The ten horns from Revelation 13:1, that is the political best turning into the religious beast in Revelation 13:11 i.e. "the new world order." Man cannot put a one world system together without the direct help of satan. He heals the deadly wound, then comes as the antichrist, meaning instead of Christ. They receive the kingdom for one hour, this is the hour of temptation. satan claiming to be God, wanting to convert God's elect. Not gonna happen).

Reference: (Revelation 13:1) "And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy."

(Here you have it the rise of the political beast/system we're in now. rising out of the sea. The sea is the people. As that is what the people are asking for. Not God. Politics and political correctness are the order of the day. 7 heads = 7 dominions/continents. Ten horns with crowns = 10 Earthly kings).

Back to Revelation 17:

13These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.

(Here is the transfer from political beast to religious beast/new world order. They have one mind. They will be 10 supernatural kings appointed by satan. The fallen angels that come with satan).

Reference: (Revelation 13:11) "And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon."

(The one world religious beast as satan looks like Christ/a lamb. But speaks as a dragon, satan is the dragon. The two horns represent power. Two of the 4 horns within the overall system. Daniel 7 and Zechariah 1:18-21. The 4 horns/dynasties).

(The 4 horns/dynasties that control the world: 1) politics 2) education 3) financial/banking 4) religion. satan will come claiming to be God, with the one world currency, to bow to him, taking the mark of the beast in one's mind. MIND).

Reference:

(Daniel 7:8) "I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things."

(He plucks them up and combines them all in one. For the one world system).

So, we have to rightly divide the Word here: keeping the 10 horns separate with the 4 horns.

Revelation 8; Verses 10-11; Trumpet 3; Matthew 25; Luke 12; John 7 Bitter Dead Water vs. Living Water

The end of bitterness is of course forgiveness of our sins (then towards others able to even be in fruits of The Holy Spirit) through the blood of the cross in our sins with right salvation message (love to plan it, compassion to mercy, to forgiveness love to carry it out THE GIFT OF GOD perfectly gift wrapped on The/A Cross). Hence we're not in famine being fed bread, milk, meat, all Holy Spiritual food that is God's Word, growing. Before we continue remember the attempted of removal/rejection of Father through Christ, the symbols always used in the negative for you to know, understand, have wisdom through The Holy Spiritual. (Revelation 8:10-11) "And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;

Quick recap: trumpet 1 brought the famine and lukewarmness, the burning of the green grass and trees. Trumpet 2 we saw 1/3 of the mountains/nations into the sea (to one world system through money/trade--materialism, hence the one world currency that comes) in which will later become babylon when satan claims Christ/God in the role of king of babylon. The queen sold out and over the heads.

(Revelation 8:10-11) "And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;

(The star is negative as the trumpets are until we get to number 7 at Christ' coming which is the first Resurrection at that 7th trumpet. This has come from Heaven. We know it cannot be satan directly himself as seen in the upcoming woe trumpets. A lamp hitting the water goes out, spiritual foolish virgins what it means. They are drinking from bitter poison that not the true Gospel of Christ and the living water He is in the positive).

(7:37-38) "In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.

38He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water."

Note: the last day then the great feast, as it will be at Christ' coming in how that correlates with the feast of trumpets. Which some teachers falsely use for a type symbolism. However, you DO NOT use a type for anything until you render the original context of the Scripture you're studying first. By any other standards types can and will always be misused causing people to error in faith, and bound them up with false doctrine. As they rested on the 7th day, which will be rest in that it is the first Resurrection, then 8th new beginnings as Christ serves those at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb--reuniting with husband, for those who served Him. They did not fornicate with satan, hence waiting on our husband. Hence the spiritual foolish virgins (the point is they think they are). As they fornicate with satan claiming to be Christ/God. Hence woe to those with child, and woe to those who give suck. Meaning, they reproduced, then nursed satan's works along--growing and growing. Should be growing in the real Jesus Christ and the Gospel, and God's Word.

11And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter."

(Not physical death, But spiritual death of course by bitterness. The complete opposite from the very foundation in forgiveness of sins).

Hence from all said above...

(Amos 8:11-13) "Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread (Christ bread of life; John 6), nor a thirst for water (Christ living water; John 4 and 7), but of hearing the words of the LORD:

12And they shall wander from sea to sea (person to person, as knowledge increases, but not saving knowledge nor growing with rest as we see), and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it.

13In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst."

(We also covered this in the last study as it overlaps. That bitterness that will never allow the very soul to spirit, heart and mind to rest. As what is being taught is flesh doctrine from false teachers, and not even the basic foundation in the blood at/from the cross for our sins, crucifying the flesh, and walking in The Holy Spirit--the Lamps Lighted within).

Which will bring us to Luke 12 to show us just this full circle...

(Luke 12:35-38) "Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;

Loins girded about means belt of truth overall. Covers all the truth meaning stand up and be accounted. We also see that with the spiritual measuring in Revelation 11 with two candlesticks/churches standing for Christ with the two witnesses here. Hence, olive oil from the olive trees to have lamps/lights burning. Also, the loins cover where fear from reside with that belt. With that belt you cannot be caught with naked when Christ comes back holding things together. Thus protecting the fruit of the loins where we would reproduce. Staying Holy Spiritual wise virgins (y)

Hence we get from Isaiah 11:4-5, "But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.

5And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins."

(Key words, faithfulness and righteousness).

36And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.

The wise spiritual virgins, for what is next...The Marriage Supper of the Lamb. But those who fornicated with satan still want it. Think about that? Anyone get cheating red-handed what do they do? Cover themselves out of instinct and shame, and head for the hills. Then apologize. Not so here...

(Matthew 25:7-13) "Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.

8And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.

9But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.

(In other words, now go and see if you can buy it. Now go play with the one world currency in babylon that will be and is against everything Christian to receive it is why).

10And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.

(Marriage complete now to the marriage supper in here. They are left outside yet entitled and want to bang the door down after being caught and lies and deception in the name of Jesus Christ, and what they did to God's people; Revelation 17, not servants of Christ that's for sure, but satan worshipers in the flesh at this point and time in HIStory).

11Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.

(So it is, open that up God in the flesh they say. No SPOUSE ON THE PLANET WOULD EVER LET THEM IN. Be like get out? Get out, get out. Hit the road jack and don't you come back no more, no more, no more, no more? Very well then).

12But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. 

(He does not know them though they claim to know Him. They worshiped satan as Christ/God. Matthew 7:21-23 also refer). They will swear up and down they know Jesus, why you check them out and they confirm God's actual Word. Verse-by-verse).

13Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh." (No one knows the day or hour. We're talking literal time. Not expressions such as, "in that day." Which God gives us fixed period and to know the events in that fixed time). What we have here is watching through the whole great tribulation to Christ' coming. So we're talking about the absolute actual day and hour. What it means to watch.

To Luke 12:37,

37Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them. (Christ served us up to and on the cross to Resurrection. We serve Him until He comes back, He serves us at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. Naturally, THE KING treats His bride like a queen. Revelation 19).

38And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants. (Short little recap what it means to actually be on watch).

The watchmen is simple defined as this. On the housetop on watch (warning, sharing, teaching others for protection, like a night watchmen (on guard/security) as the world is in darkness) waiting on the real Jesus Christ so He does not come as a thief in the night to each individual.

Because they left that position not able to see Him coming at midnight (the midnight cry world in darkness). Why Christ gives us 2nd and 3rd watch.

2nd watch = 9pm to midnight

3rd watch = midnight to 3 am

(Luke 17:31) "In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back."

(Luke 12:35-38) "Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;

36And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.

37Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.

38And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants."

(Right in the middle is midnight is the point. Verse 6 below here is that direct correlation of the midnight cry from Exodus 12:29-30. The last plague with the land in darkness. As the day of the Lord is a day of darkness, and Christ comes as the light, He is the light--like lightning--at the speed of light. Jeremiah 50:46 I Thessalonians 4:16-17. Verse 16 there shout means cry out from the Greek, and the dead in Christ rise first, then us who are alive at Christ' ONE TIME COMING AND GATHERING back to Him, with them for the cloud of witnesses to a greater cloud of witnesses in number. Obviously, NO pre trib rapture/rapture. As them 2 Candlesticks/Churches are here being the light to the world in Revelation 11 when the two witnesses are here. Of course, this destroys false doctrine saying Church is not here right there. That should do it for discernment already for people. Now let's fill ourselves with God's Word).

(Matthew 25:3-6) "They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:

4But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

5While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

6And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him."

(Okay, we'll leave that study here. It is quite a bit. But we keep it simple by overall seeing the simple "story-lines" here. Staying within them then go in for the details). Conclusion: The real Jesus Christ wants us to stay on watch, a virgin bride with garment of salvation on not found naked, not have a spiritual family with satan. with Holy Spirit Lighted Lamps within--being the light to the world, not gone bitter. Love grown cold. The number one cause of this will be relationships. To which we take responsibility for our part in repenting in it (if needs be), and forgiving the rest. The want for salvation and growing in God's Word for people. That is good will. We obviously, see living by the flesh (giving and taking in commitment, loose words, promises, etc). Not having respect for God's marriage role in the way He wants things done, you can forget about ever seeing or hearing anything spiritually, that is Holy Spiritually.

AMEN, GOD BLESS.

Revelation 8; Verses 1-5; 7th Seal/Heading To The Trumpets

This study is going to also give you a huge overview in outline for much of the book of Revelation.

Overall, the 7 trumpets, namely the first 6 are about the rise of Babylon. Each 1/3 goes in to sea, the people which become babylon when satan claims to be Christ/God the end-times king of babylon. Hence at that 7th trumpet which is the first Resurrection Christ takes the kingdoms of the world from satan.


(Revelation 11:15) "And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever."
Now to Revelation 8.

(Revelation 8:1-5) "And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.



(The 7th seal. Between seals 6 and 7 is the hour of temptation when satan claims to be Christ/God, the savior of the world. So the breaking that in half is two half hours. As 6 begins the great tribulation, and 7 is holding back God's wrath until it is finished. Also showing the climax as we wind down HIStory, and here in the flesh through the silence. All eyes on earth and what is going on. Consider that when you stand for THE LORD. The intensity of all surely).


Let's take a look at the hour of temptation to the one of two Churches Christ' approves, Philadelphia:


(Revelation 3:10) "Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth."


(Some in error call this to be a pre trib rapture/rapture. But it's not it means they are safe and being guarded by Christ from the Greek. We also know between trumpets 6 and 7 here direct they are one of the two Churches here being fed by the two witnesses. The difference here as that of Smyrna is they are not delivered up directly to satan claiming to be Christ/God. As that is the hour of temptation. For reference look and note that with Smyrna).


Check this example out in exact comparison for us now. This is how Christ teaches for both comings. Amazing:


(Matthew 26:39-41) "And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.


40And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?


41Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."


(As it should be well known we're not to fall asleep as foolish spiritual virgins taught by Christ in the previous chapter. Going and being in the world of the flesh. Christ here is referring to God's wrath for the second coming. Wanting to do it another way so that no one may get God's wrath. But sin had and has to be paid for each individual then and only then able to live for The LORD).

Moving on to verse 2...


2And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.


(7 = Spiritual completeness always. 7 days, 7 continents/Dominions, 7 times the children of Israel marched around walls of Jericho, 7 Churches/Candlesticks, 7 Angels/Stars, 7 times 7 in Sabbatical years to the Day of Atonement, and so on. Even a good and close is when Christ says forgive 7x70 and one will not be bitter as well. As we head into the trumpets here, the big theme seen/the waters--the people turning bitter, lamps going out, etc due to famine at trumpet 1 because of the lack of feeding of what is being read right now, and even the salvation message/the milk. 7 is completeness and 70 is representative of bondage from the first babylonian captivity (so we that 7th seal half hour and those children of Israel being sealed significance. Therefore (the 7x70), representing in doing Christ words the release from bondage at forgiveness. One's own prison. We of course mention this because this all about the parable of the fig tree/the final generation to the end-times, and knowing the chronological order of events because of that. Jeremiah 24).


References: (Matthew 18:21-22) "Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?


22Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven."


Closing it up there. Please take a look at the rest:


(Matthew 18:33-35) "Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?


34And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.


(Sent to satan and his evil spirits what it means. Why? To take them back the basics of the cross and forgiveness/Gospel Armour and humble them through faith that God is in control, and Holy Spiritual warfare. Overall, back where they came from for their own good. This of course will be a call to their obedience).


35So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses."


To verse 3...


3And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.


(This is huge as the famine begins. The LORD is auto hearing your prayers without question. Keeping, protecting, guiding you. Your prayers are pure gold, and smelling good. One of the five sense that came from God's Word. We have seen them all so far. Eyes to see, ears to hear. To what we eat spiritual food to what we touch = works as a result. Now smell).


Let's take a look at the huge significance and double affirmative in importance here at 666. The 6th seal, 6th trumpet, 6th vial when satan claims to be Christ/God. Why we must always look at the positive and there will always be the negative, and at very important points.


(Revelation 9:13) "And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God."


(Because continuing on there them are death angels. 4 = each direction all inclusive. 4 directions. 4 winds exclusive to earth from each direction, and so on. This of course opposes the 4 horns total of the beast and from Zechariah 1:18-21 from what? You guessed it, which began the first babylonian captivity and the time of the gentiles. Which are now coming to a close here. Once again, because the children of Israel are scattered because of the assyrian then babylonian captivities then to Europe base nations, to America, to scattered to the 4 corners of the earth till Christ comes back. There is that significance of 4 again).


Let's take a little look: Which is why in Revelation 17:9-11, the first beast is where it began with babylon. Is the 8th and of the 7 because it ends with babylon with satan coming as end-times king of babylon.


Check this out. Which also brings back full circle to the hour of temptation. That one hour for the beast below:


(Luke 21:24) "And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled."


(Revelation 17:11-13) "And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.


12And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.


13These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast."


Now these ten horns are a different set of horns than those of the 4 so keep that in mind. The 4 horns of power are different in that they control what is over the heads of the world and the children of Israel overall here. Control in knowledge and information in politics, education (hence the political beast and done through education). And of course, the last two in why satan has two horns as he claims Christ/God with one world currency. Therefore, that is financial and religion).


Quick look at Zechariah 1:18-21 to get deeper understanding what has begun here and what is coming to a close overall as we wind down HIStory:


(Zechariah 1:18-21) "Then lifted I up mine eyes, and saw, and behold four horns.


19And I said unto the angel that talked with me, What be these? And he answered me, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.


20And the LORD shewed me four carpenters.


21Then said I, What come these to do? And he spake, saying, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, so that no man did lift up his head: but these are come to fray them, to cast out the horns of the Gentiles, which lifted up their horn over the land of Judah to scatter it."


(And so it is. Once again, where that time of the gentiles began and the first beast. Which began to control Jerusalem, without the true children of Israel. Directly Judah here. Once again refer to parable of the fig tree about the tribe of Judah. Only a remnant there now. The rest are impostors. Those who claim to be jews, do lie, are not and of the synagogue of satan).

4And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand.


(And so it is).


5And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake."


(So let's see what is happening here. The smoke already ascended to God showing us it's done, book it. What are we seeing? Exchange. What exchange? God is furious at the treatment of His saints here. I would not want to be on the wrong side of that. As we also see that o' plenty in Revelation 16 and 17/with babylon as well).


Thunderings here = God's voice in that anger what is going on earth. And what is that again? Begins with famine. The complete failure of teaching Him and His Word.  As the world begins to remove/not want our Father through Christ. One sad state of affairs the world is in here.


Trumpets = Battle call/call to action in the negative for those on earth


Lightnings for speed/swiftness, hence speed of light. No one gets away.


Earthquake in Heaven? To show us He is not happy about all this.


Which carries us to a preview of the first trumpet and spiritual weather seen as a result here:


(Revelation 8:7) "The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up."


This of course begins the famine here being burnt up. We'll leave it here and carry it onto the next study. AMEN.

In closing, there will be some who make the trumpets physical, vials too (we'll get there). We obviously see they cannot be (also easy to see trumpets 6 and 7 are spiritual. 7 is the first Resurrection changed into spiritual breath of life bodies for Christians. Unless you see all green grass and trees burnt up. Each 1/3 of people physically die. For example, they turn bitter. Easy peasy. So always watch the resulting action(s).
