Revelation 4; Verses 5-11; God is in control; Father through Christ

Moving and finishing up the awesome chapter of Revelation 4. Revelation means to uncover/uncover/reveal the end-times truth to us. Keeping our lamps burning. Just like no one turns of the light to read the Bible. We need to put it into true and real application keeping those lamps lighted to the world. Never turn it off :)

(Revelation 4:5-11) "And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.

7 of course always stands for Holy Spiritual completion in the positive sense when used. Used in the negative for example when 7 more wicked spirits come to those who do not put on the Gospel Armour/Armour of God; Luke 11:14-26.

Here are the 7 Spirits of God. They are not to be confused with Isaiah 11. Why? That pertained to Christ' first coming on earth in which the Holy Spirit gives us because of Christ, through Christ, and for Christ. Them are all inclusive to us now through one Spirit, that is the Holy Spirit. It does not add up to 7 as well.

These 7 Spirits represent Christ' completion in victory. They can be found here, and we'll look at them deeper again in the next chapter.

(Revelation 5:12) "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."

So you see it is after the crucifixion.

Moving on...

Lightning not because God wants to "zap people." But, because He is the light. Which also represents His speed, the speed of light as He is the creator of the light. Thunders God's power in voice in decibels. Notice God uses the two of the most physical things we can relate to concerning speed and sound. He knew that before so and so scientist. He is the author of Science. I also like to point out being changed in a twinkling of an eye is the speed of sound as Christ comes like lightning at the 7th trumpet. Matthew 24:27; I Corinthians 15:50-55; I Thessalonians 4:13-18; Revelation 11:15. All the same timing.

To Revelation 4:6,

6And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind.

(Moving on: Sea of glass as purity only stand before God. "Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God." (able to stand in front of Him and Him be proud of them for the job they do) The four living one's here actually and not beasts. Oppose the world's system here in that: 4 is each direction, and all inclusive within each direction. Overall here, what is shown is nobody better make a move towards God's throne as they are protecting it, seeing and hearing all things always on watch. He is the God of the living, not the dead. Remember, overall when Babylon, the whore queen sold (over the waters/sea = the people) out to satan the king of Babylon thinking the true God is not watching. satan has filled her mind she don't need the true God, not watching, and she has everything in life she needs being totally Holy Spiritually deprived and depraved. Hence she sits as a queen. High-minded, satan fills people's hearts and then minds that they are really not worshiping him because it is self-serving flesh, on top of the world in their own mind).

This should be crystal clear (y)

I always encourage people when studying Revelation and all of God's Word when is seeing a positive or negative verse pertaining to the subject there will be the polar opposite as long as we're in this world as well.

7And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle.

This can also be seen through God's people in that the tribes of Israel the Lion was always Judah to the east. The south was the tribe with the "man's face", Reuben; West was the ox; representing Ephraim; Dan, the north side with "the eagle". In a later study with the 4 living one's here in Revelation 5 we're going to look at what them represent in depth. They of course overall mean protection from outside to within in all 4 directions.

8And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.

(Just like the cherubim. The numbers are very significant here of course. Six is man's number and man is not getting away with anything here. For God's people to know, understand that He is in control. This is so important as man then satan try to control the world and without Him increasingly. Wings of course indicate flying over from above. In Daniel 7 if you add up the 4 beast wings there you will come to 6 in the negative. Building to the one world system/new world order. Please look me up there).

3 Holy's here. Representing the Resurrection and the power of Christ to our Father, for our Father. Yeshua the Mashiach, the image of the invisible God, in the flesh. All power because He overcame for us. To show us the way and get it done, following in His "footsteps."

9And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever,

(Yes, AMEN).

10The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying,

(Casting the crowns a show of who they are giving all power too. Man ought to take thought that is the 24 elders are doing so, they ought to as well. Stop trying to control what they cannot control, "kinging and queening" themselves. If a show of the 24 elder doing so don't help, nothing will).

11Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created."

(See the importance here? Because on the large scale the world wants our Father through Christ gone, done away with, nothing to do with Him. Evolution has filled the minds of many with doubt. Many kids go to church then school in confusion. We ought to be teaching Genesis 1 properly. The earth is not 6k years old. And silly old men who think they are theologians need to take heed. The jig is up there just as God Word says. Willingly ignorant; II Peter 3:3-7. We can all look around and tell that is not true just there, but then turn a blind eye continuing on. That also of course NOT Noah's flood as have extensively been through. satan rebelled in the first age. We need Bible teachers in the worst way. If needed refer to the Genesis 1:1-2 study in the archive. Them same ought to be driven to learn the awesome book of Revelation as well).


Key here as well. You were created for God's pleasure. He loves you, but we must love Him for what He came to do for us, showing us the way. Also, making this world a "better" place while we're here. As the light to the world through the Holy Spirit.

AMEN.

Revelation 4; Verses 1-4; John's Vision Now from/in Heaven for Us

Let's note: A picture can never do justice. Elder represents forefathers and not exclusive to appearance in age. We know in Spiritual bodies we will be as the angels. The angels always appear in Scripture as young adults.



Picking it up in Revelation 4. An extremely important study as we cover a lot of ground here. Revelation means to reveal/uncover the truth for us now, in the end-times. We're to be sealed with the truth in our foreheads. Of course, stemming from an open and teachable heart. Not bitter towards God, love grown cold. Many would allow a human Doctor to give physical open heart surgery to preserve their life. Will you do the same for Jesus Christ? Your maker, creator (as seen below)?


(Revelation 4:1-4) "After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.


Where is John being taken? Some would of course confuse this a pre trib rapture/rapture. But we have totally dispelled that doctrine because the Church is here when the two witnesses here being fed that double pouring of the Holy Spirit. That is between trumpets 6 and 7. Lets' take a look once again,


(Revelation 11:4) "These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth."


The candlesticks are of course the Churches. The two Churches Christ approves being fed the Holy Spirit, a double pouring. This also seen of course in Zechariah 4. So we have dispelled two lies from two doctrines that come from two verses to go pick and choose without explanation of the previous or after verses around it. In other words, no subject. Them are of course I Thessalonians 4:17, and II Thessalonians 2:7, where the false teaching is the Holy Spirit is gone from earth. Also, if that were so the 144k could not be sealed. So we see the nonsense. Let's move on here...Who murders the two witnesses?


(Revelation 11:7) "And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them."


(Revelation 11:14) "The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly."


What woe? The 2nd of the 3 woe trumpets. In the next verse Christ comes back at the 7th trumpet. Which is the Lord's Day to where we began in Revelation 1:10 giving us our introduction and basic overview of the book (y) Christ' coming also seen in Revelation 1:7 with the clouds, the same clouds as I Thessalonians 4:17; Daniel 7:14, to name a few. For cloud of witnesses, the dead in Christ who have passed away physically and He brings with Him. EASY PEASY.


Moving along...

This trumpet here can only be the 7th trumpet logically. The word speaking means to be shown the events. Like we would say this or that is speaking to me, or speaking out to me through a symbol. Remember up until now John was on earth in the Holy Spirit as the Churches are on earth.


2And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.


(What a moment here? The very throne of God. The very throne satan failed to protect in the first age per Ezekiel 28:14-16. When he rebelled against God and a 1/3 of the angels followed him, becoming fallen angels on account).

3And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.


(The Shekinah glory. The rainbow always represents the majesty of God, the beauty. Never is a rainbow used in the negative sense in the Bible. Take note of that fact. God of course speaking to us through weather. Therefore, we want to be Holy Spiritual meteorologists. A rainbow also represents two things that allow to grow at the same time: Sun and rain at the same time, now that is growth and flourishing for God's people. This rainbow also for us as God promised He would never physically flood the earth again after Noah's flood. Remember, this time it is satan's flood of lies, as satan also comes with the fallen angels per Revelation 12:7-9; The flood of lies seen thereafter and the woe to the inhabiters on earth for the woe trumpets. That is trumpets 5, 6, and 7. So we hope this is being put together quite nicely for you here).

Remember, we have the 7 thunders and Christ' comes like lightning as well. More in depth as we get to them. Quickly the 7th thunders represent power in voice heard throughout. Lightning represents speed, at the speed of light, as Christ is the light.


The priest's breast plate has twelve stones in it. The Jasper and Sardine are the first and the last. Covering all from first to last. Remember, satan is the false rock, smooth stone worn over time in the negative. Which we will give that full complete comparative analysis in a later study as get there.


Like unto an emerald. How amazing is that? All wrapped in one. Let's note that is green as well. Green always symbolic for living once again.


4And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold."


(There are of course no way to prove who the 24 are. But we do know 12 represents Government completeness/perfection in God's Kingdom. Here we get double that. A good educated conclusion is they are the 12 Disciples (Who Christ said they would sit on the throne with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Therefore, the 12 patriarchs as well). Crowns of gold = Victorious and ruling).

Noting as well they have their exchange of white robes seen at the marriage supper of the Lamb. White always stands for clean and pure. This is why when we are clothed waiting on Christ not removing our garment of salvation and found naked and having a spiritual family with satan (woe to those with child, and give suck, not keeping the womb barren) when He comes back. He clothes His wife. As a perfect gentleman would to a respectable commited lady.


Scripture references for the above:


(Revelation 19:7-8) "Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.


8And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints."


(Isaiah 54:1) "Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the LORD."


(They are of course singing the song of Moses. Not reproducing and nursing satan's works along thinking satan is Christ/God, the savior of the world. More are the children of the desolate = as satan is the abomination that makes desolate).


(Isaiah 54:4-5) "Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more.


(Because they are not found naked, but having the garment of salvation on staying wise Holy Spiritual virgins with their lamps burning, glowing and flowing. Who? The two churches Christ approves as seen in them candlesticks; SMYRNA and PHILADELPHIA).


5For thy Maker is thine husband; the LORD of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called.


(Matthew 8:11) "And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven."


(Luke 22:29-30) "And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me;


30That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel."


AMEN.
