(Revelation 6:7-8) "And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say (positive, not beasts but living one's as they are eternal as well), Come and see. (come and see for eyes to see, and ears to hear, the oil what the Holy Spirit says)
(Mark 13:8) "For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows."
God wants us to note that here: the living one's as opposed to them ugly nasty things in the next verse. We see the build up man's new world order behind it satan. Still to come as he comes direct at the 6th seal here. Also, 6th trumpet, 6th vial to claim to be Christ/God and the savior of the world. As we see to relieve the world's problem in it's chaos through the flesh.
8And 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."
(Pale always means death, "looking pale." To show us physically the Spiritual condition here. Hence the words, Death and Hell, not physical).
Remember the first seal? The sending out of satanic false preacher through satan, not giving the Gospel of peace. But peace as the world gives, felsh first doctrine. To satisfy the lusts of the flesh, no blood for your sins even taught in many "quarters." The beasts are the political beasts to turn religious beast of course. That exact moment satan claims to be Christ/God.
I don't want to lose people here. But this will be significant in how? This correlates with trumpet 4. What do we see there? The last 1/3 of people that are spiritually going to be killed after trumpet 6. How? The false preachers causing the famine through satan overall!
They are saying satan is Christ/God, the savior of the world after that 6th trumpet (on horses to slay the rest the power in their mouth with 1/12 the priest plate, they are fakes is the point. Not who they appear to be, do we see it)? The serpent doctrine does it, serpent infection. (tails like serpents, not in plain view straight up). That is the WRONG GOSPEL!
Guess what else God is saying? While they claim love? They are on horses (not the same horses as the seals, but same concept) going to make war/into battle. While saying peace, that's not the Gospel of peace is it? Shoed up? Do they even teach that in itself? That is the twist. We hope and pray some are waking up.
The setting here Joel 1:10-11, satan has claimed to be Christ/God. he cuts of the daily sacrifice. Joel is showing God is on control. The point is they have the appearance of priests. But the wrong wine, etc. Wonder if they would crucify Christ that being so?
Lead up the locusts have picked clean through famine all living. Through what? the 4 horns/dynasties. Consuming all information (knowledge and understanding, wisdom) through politics, education, financial/money, and religion. Claiming to be God's chosen, jews and they are not but of the synagogue of satan. Who knows this? THE TWO CANDLESTICKS/CHURCHES Christ approves here. Hence they are standing with two witnesses. Smyrna and Philadelphia. So we get the transfer seen here in Joel of 5th trumpet seen in Revelation 9:1, to 6th trumpet 9:13 that direct moment satan claims Christ/God. The same with the seals.
(Joel 1:10-11) "The field is wasted, the land mourneth; for the corn is wasted: the new wine is dried up, the oil languisheth.
(Remember the previous seal? Don't touch the oil and the wine, with the barley reference? The point is the famine is to none affect to God's people as we covered in that last study).
11Be ye ashamed (because they are going to be found naked when Christ comes back), O ye husbandmen; howl, O ye vinedressers, for the wheat and for the barley; because the harvest of the field is perished.
(why this husbandmen reference? Christ taught this in John 15. But now here through people, that is taking care of the people by feeding them, first with the blood of Christ).
Let's see: (btw, in all Scriptures here it would be great to look me up in the surrounding verses in each of these. No way I can put it all in one study. But we want to get this full picture here).
(John 15:1-3) "I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
2Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
3Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you."
They have wasted the meat and drink offering that is Christ.
This verse here a direct hit when satan cuts off the sacrifice, hence communions (wine and bread, the new wine/that is The New Testament); Daniel 9:27. Direct hits mean you are dropping bombs on satan.
(Joel 1:9) "The meat offering and the drink offering is cut off from the house of the LORD; the priests, the LORD'S ministers, mourn."
(John 6:55-56) "For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
56He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him."
Now to the daily Sacrifice turned now to what is Christ. What we're seeing is the exact type! Where this last fourth is bringing spiritual death on account. (hurt not the oil and the wine. That is those who have the Holy Spirit through the blood of Christ, of course). 4th seal, 4th beast, to cover the rest is the point. Which is what the 4th trumpet does as well. But here a fourth because? The Bible explains the earth always in 4. Covering each directions. The 4 quarters, or the 4 corners of the earth what it means.
(Exodus 29:40-41) "And with the one lamb a tenth deal of flour mingled with the fourth part of an hin of beaten oil; and the fourth part of an hin of wine for a drink offering.
41And the other lamb thou shalt offer at even, and shalt do thereto according to the meat offering of the morning, and according to the drink offering thereof, for a sweet savour, an offering made by fire unto the LORD."
(Then of course remember the prayers of the saints through Christ before the first trumpet, the begin in the famine. Offering by fire unto the Lord that is us with The Holy Spirit. The false priests also have fire, but to burn, issuing death after that 6th trumpet. Please look it up, look me up if needs be. I'm not putting it up here).
Another awesome study is seeing the five senses here, which the fire--The Holy Spirit comes to do for us, in the mind. As you have a spiritual body, you are a soul. The mind part of your spiritual body is the intellect of your soul. The sense we have to come to make decisions. These are exact definitions from the Hebrew to Greek.
Full circle here and the famine seen again here as they have wasted the harvest (which is why not to be harvested out of season as well "pray your flight not is in the winter", with the parable of the fig tree. This seen in/at the 6th seal, which we cover more full.
(Deuteronomy 8:8) "A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and honey;"
(Joel 1:12) "The vine is dried up, and the fig tree languisheth; the pomegranate tree, the palm tree also, and the apple tree, even all the trees of the field, are withered: because joy is withered away from the sons of men."
The overall point. They have failed to take God's people to the promise land, delivering from bondage through Christ. The joy received from the very cross/salvation.
(Joel 1:12) "The vine is dried up, and the fig tree languisheth; the pomegranate tree, the palm tree also, and the apple tree, even all the trees of the field, are withered: because joy is withered away from the sons of men."
The overall point. They have failed to take God's people to the promise land, delivering from bondage through Christ. The joy received from the very cross/salvation.
Okeydokie. We will leave it there. I know it covered a lot (so please don't beat yourself up if you don't take it all in right away), and touched on a lot.
Amen.
