Matthew 18; Verses 7-9; The Body of Christ; Spiritual Health

(Matthew 18:7-9) "Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!

Direct cross references; Mark 9:42-50; Luke 17:1-4

Short little study as in verse 10 stay within subject but we move to babes direct, i.e. new(er) Christians. This overall Church operations as move further along. No building here, Church is collection of believers that may, or may not meet in a building.

Remember Matthew 16 Christ for the first time named the Church built on Peter the Rock. Who was said to be crucified later upside down. He was not the first pope, sheesh louise. Interesting enough it was 7 days earlier this was declared. 7 always stand for spiritual perfection. And Christ gathers back the Church at the 7th trumpet for the first Resurrection; I Thessalonians 4:16-17; I Corinthians 15:50-55; Revelation 11:15; Revelation 20:4-6).

Continuing on...This is entrapped into sin. Not exclusive just to luring into sin. But also enabling sin. Obviously, this person would need to go before infecting the rest like a cancer. We're not preaching to the choir. You tell me, do you see many doing what Jesus Christ says? It don't take much to see this.

An extreme homosexuality. So called Pastor/preacher/teacher says it's okay, the whole body is going to bad side of the gulf; Luke 16. Let's see...

8Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire.

The body of Jesus Christ; Hands = works. Foot = Direction people are taken by the walk, no walk in Christ here. It is better some make than none make it Christ is saying. Just like physical amputation the goal is to keep the rest of the body functioning, not killing person. But ALIVE. So it is and how much more spiritually?

Let's note once again this enticing or enabling sin, they have their stamp of approval on it. Standing in front of God's saving arm in their condescending pride. Cross, grace through faith, love, mercy, forgiveness of sin, freedom thieves they are.

9And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.

(The eye for discernment for watching. The eye is the first to bring from the heart condition. If the eye is full of darkness how great is that darkness. Here they would be enslaving everyone else, Maybe if more Pastors/preacher/teachers focused on pirates of the Christian, other than Caribbean first the Church would not be in the condition it's in now. What are these Pastors/preacher/teachers focused on again? Not pure motives, but deceit).

Amen.

Matthew 18; Verses 1-7; Godly Ambition/Selfish Ambition

(Matthew 18:1-7) "At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

One very important chapter in application as a Christian, then to the church. Then onto where it all begins at the forgiveness of sins, closing out the chapter.

(Now let's remember short time before this Christ gave the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven. That is through Peter the Church, built on that rock solid foundation immovable force through The LORD; Matthew 16:13-20. Any thought of that would of been misdirected as Christ told Peter He gave him the keys, not that he is the greatest. Earlier notes Matthew 11 with John the Baptist Christ was emphasizing his role on paving the way for the Messiah Jesus The Christ).

With that being said this is the way of the world. Lordship over others and flesh control. We certainly have our roles on earth, not to be used as a control mechanism and in having advantage over others, i.e. "special privileges."

Let's look a bit further concerning James and John, and their mother. Same thing, coming full circle here.

(Matthew 22:20-21) "Then came to him the mother of Zebedee's children with her sons, worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him.

21And he said unto her, What wilt thou? She saith unto him, Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on the left, in thy kingdom."

(Matthew 20:25-28) "But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them.

(Mark 10:42) "But Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them."

Matthew 20:26,

26But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister;

27And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant: (Two examples of Godly ambition, selling no one out either. This is a big now as I read many things. Everyone has their own interest that is NEVER defined by those of the world. Yeah Christians heart are pure (right motives according to The LORD, therefore The LORD''s interests).

28Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many."

(There we have it, laying down the flesh lusts in control/power grab. How did Christ give His life? No sin, walking in, through, and aroung with The Holy Spirit. We crucify the flesh. Not having selfish ambition. The other ten were upset and angered, so we see what could of been much discord corrected with God's Word, then bringing peace to the situation, peace of mind).

Okay, to Matthew 18:2,

2And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,

(This certainly would of been a humbling experience. But yet still that in itself would not get the job done as seen below).

3And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

(A humbled little child--total and complete dependency from parent(s), and faith in parent teaching basics (like difference in hot or cold, life or death matters, etc). Teachable from the very heart to mind, and want to be taught, respect discipline, hence disciple. Another huge fallacy we have now, that is the world NEEDS to be learning the heart and mind of child according to God, not their foolish made up opinions. As they would become like a child, then able to grow. We also see kids all the time though they might get in a scuffle it's quickly forgotten shaking it off, no grudges, no revenge other than playful (hence the converted at the forgiveness of sins). They go right on playing with an exuberant and cheerful heart, innocent and freely).

4Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

(Humble (the opposite of pride/high-minded) = lower one's self in mind. Which is automatic if you see someone truly repented to salvation, and then there as a Christian there forth).

No room for error here, the huge contrast here. That stuff that goes on in the way of the world as explained about is a huge "gulf."

(Showing when one thinks they are done learning they will be done as well. No one knows it all. Though we need to have the correct Doctrine and God's plan, or we're done as well. No if's and's, but's, maybe's about it).

5And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.

(Like your bringing Christ in. Always, always, always, important to protect the babes, they teachable through God's actual Word. How it must viewed in that protection, the lambs).

6But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea."

(A Pastor/preacher/mature Christian. BETTER NOT. It is done quite often causing them to fall, how? Teaching traditions of men, teaching sin is okay (hence the next verse. Which will show but be a part of the next study).

Treating certain people that lived in sin (their living in sin was different), before they had salvation different than everyone else. As Christ just reproved and corrected that thinking). What else would destroy a babe? Teaching/sharing certain things are sin and they are not. But a matter of preference.

It is better they had like an anchor and tossed overboard to the bottom where the sea dwellers, and bottom crap feeders hang. Looks like some Pastors/preachers/those mature better things take a lot more seriously.

How serious? This is the most feared way to die (after that cross in torture and agony for hours and hours), drowning in asphyxiation (same way Christ died on that cross) suffocation as one goes lower and lower helplessly.

They need to ask for forgiveness through repentance towards The LORD, and those you sin against, or satan is or will be with them, it's anger without cause and steeped in unforgivness from a hard(ened) heart.

Reference: Matthew 18:7 "Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh"!

And we'll leave it there.

Revelation 8; Verses 12-13; Trumpet 4; Luke 23; I Thessalonians 5

Continuing on in the awesome book of Revelation. You won't want to miss this study. Thank you for taking a look†


The 4th Trumpet:


Quick recap of the previous 3 trumpets:


Trumpet 1 began the end-times famine. Trumpet 2 was 1/3 of the nations (mountains always represent nations) going into the sea which will become Babylon (Revelation 17:15). Trumpet 3 was the next 1/3, the foolish virgins who lamps went out, and the waters become bitter. Heading to Babylon. So, we have 1/3 left. This is the set up to the last 1/3 after trumpet 6.

Let's take a quick look after trumpet 6: (satan has claimed to be Christ/God at this point).




(Revelation 9:18-19) "By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.

This is the wrong fire, fire that burns to death. Smoke blowing smoke for lies as they are being convinced satan is Christ/God. Going up in smoke issuing death. From where? Their mouths. These are the false preachers who are on horses symbolic for horsepower rushing (doing it quick) into battle to kill people spiritually. Who are these? See below what they say. They are trying to convince God's people who follow His Word satan is Christ/God, the savior of the world. These are claiming teachers/preacher. As seen in Matthew 24 and Mark 13. Where the seals, trumpets and vials are located. Which we did showing the seals. So we're between seal 6 and 7 here, trumpet 6 and 7, vial 6 and 7.


19For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt."

(Double affirmative. The power from their mouths. The tails like unto serpents because of the serpent doctrine, the serpent is satan. His, satan's children are the off spring of the serpent. Have you read it? Christ talked about it over and over, those who crucified him. Who? Those who claim to be Jews and are not but of the synagogue satan. Who knows this? The 2 CHURCHES Christ approves of Smryrna and Philadelphia; Revelation 2:9; 3:9. Tails, once again is this hidden from you? The tails represent a snake coiling around and a drawn out death here spiritually for the time of the great tribulation. Way it is, way it's going to be).


(Okay now that's set here is what allows this last 1/3 in the 4th trumpet. Why? Once again the famine for hearing the Words of the Lord. Exactly this and the like NOT being taught. (Amos 8:11-13; Song of Moses a couple references. Please refer to them studies for other references. So many can be used but we go with the most direct as possible, also giving overview in each study then the finer details).



The famine continues, as the symbolic spiritual weather events continue and increase. The satanic influence is gets greater. Until we get to satan in the flesh claiming to be Christ at the 6th trumpet. This is why the next trumpet those not green and flourishing and growing are picked clean by the locusts (that study coming on who they are).


Okay, 1/3 are left this brings us to the 4th trumpet,

(Revelation 8:12-13) "And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise."

 
(There is no light shining here for the last 1/3 you seen above. This is pitch darkness, making grass and the trees increasingly decay, as the locusts do their work in the next trumpet number 5 picking clean hence the last 1/3 after the 6th trumpet as follows below. Nothing can grow here, and nothing can grow without the sun. This is why at trumpet 1 the grass and trees are always symbolic for people. Essentially, the locusts (who they are in the coming studies) pick what is left clean from what could be growing and flourishing).

Let's take a look a view at both points.


Trumpet 1:


(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."

Notice that? 1/3 part of the trees. Notice something else? The trees are not green meaning living.


Trumpet 5:


(Revelation 9:3-4) "And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.


4And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads."

(Who can't they touch? Green grass = smaller, less stature. Not as mature Christians but growing. DO NOT STEP ON THE GRASS or you will pay with the Lord. Tree = Mature Christians. Do not try and chop down a tree or you will pay with the Lord. Any green thing is any Christian in between. The point is they are living and growing).


Basically, with the trumpets you want to know the actions going are spiritual conditions given to us by God through the weather. Famine and darkness always leading up to it as the earth is covered with spiritual darkness for the children of darkness because of their spiritual condition. Remember as well, satan tries to change laws and times. Putting things out of order and upside down. The law upside down, and times because he is not THE CHRIST he claims to be, and trying to change times such as the harvest. Hence do not be harvested in the winter. Remember satan turns everything complete upside down, out of order the lead up seen in the trumpets.



Let's see one place Christ talked about all this hanging on the cross for you in the blood for your sins, and Resurrected so you could be as well at the first Resurrection at the last trumpet, the 7th trumpet.


(Luke 23:29-31) "For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck. What days? These days, the end-times--the parable of the fig tree generation. Jeremiah 24 shows you the impostors there now, very evil figs fruit cannot be eaten. With a REMNANT from the tribe of Judah there currently.

30Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us. Seen at Christ coming in/at 6th vial. Where you get the beginning and action within each seal. An overview of the events. They want to crawl under a rock being caught naked, with no garment on. Every cheater on their husband/spouse would.

31For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry"? (There it is. Christ referring to himself as the green tree, the greenest tree of all. What do they do to a dry? They have totally destroyed it. The locusts--Joel 1. We'll get more to that in the next studies).

Let's take a look, where Paul talked about it after teaching the first Resurrection in I Thessalonians 4:13-18. And NO pre trib rapture/rapture. As he continues the subject here in chapter 5. Hence the word but, a clause. Now showing us what is going at Christ coming from the previous chapter.


(I Thessalonians 5:1-5) "But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.


2For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.


3For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

Woman with child because woe to those who give suck. Meaning reproducing then nursing (doubling) satan's works along thinking it's Christ/God. Peace and safety satan is coming to claim to be the world's savior as the fake Christ/God. They shall not escape because they think the real God is not watching. You see now they want the removal of Christ/God but they get satan for it. In the end wanting the mountains to fall on them. Because? what they built falls down on them, they want it to.


4But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.


5Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness."



Next post, the first of the woe trumpets. You certainly don't want to miss it.


Amen †

Revelation 7; Verses 4-17; The Seventh Seal (part II)

(Revelation 7:4-17) "And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.

(This is in-depth study).



(As we're between seal 6 and 7 the great tribulation now, sealed between it before God's wrath takes place as seen in the last study. We get the overview like all the other seals, The beginning to end action within them. Showing verse 14 they do come out of the great tribulation. This is the children of Israel currently scattered to the 4 corners of the earth now. This is why you see them sealed before God's wrath then Christ comes they are in Heaven; Per Revelation 14;1-3 as well. A second view of these same events for the 144k specific. There are of course more and many more. We have those before sealed at the 5th trumpet before satan claims to be Christ. Along, with the ethnos, meaning the ethnic people of the nations that are not Children of Israel lineage wise, but grafted in part of the Church. All one body in Christ though The Holy Spirit).


5Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand.


(Judah, now called "Jew" is one tribe. Jew means you're either from the tribe of Judah or live(d) in the geographical land of Judea. So this is why we see the parable of the fig tree (Jeremiah 24 you going to read it where the impostors were there the first time)? shown in seal that we have the talmudic impostors in the land of Israel now currently. So we see the real Jews by the term from the tribe of Judah are scattered now to be gathered by Christ and Resurrection at the 7th trumpet. This is 7th seal is supposed to show you the forest for the tree cause and effect before we get to the trumpets. Easy peasy my friends. Remember? Revelation 2:9; 3;9 the two Churches Christ' approves of? They know the parable of the fig tree knowing the order of events to come approved by Christ. They know these are those who claim to be jews and are not, but do lie and are of the synagogue of satan. Them are them same two Churches of course here during the great tribulation when the two witnesses come; Revelation 11:4. MEANS NO PRE TRIB RAPTURE/RAPTURE obviously. So we see the 2 lies now taught by the false Church now? 1) Jews God's chosen are in the land of Israel now. But God's chosen are Hebrews the tribes of Israel currently scattered. 2) The Church is gone. This is what happens when you teach nothing as they do. Why they have tails like serpents after the 6th trumpet, because they support the off spring of the serpents (Genesis 3:14-15; the plot from the garden of Eden to bring this new world order in, talumd worshiper kenites = The sons of Cain. This ain't too hard). That is how good satan is my friend. Not that good once you know this truth(s).


Okay, moving on....


6Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nepthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand.


7Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand.

(Alright Tribe of Levi)!


8Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.


(Joseph is Ephraim and Dan is omitted for their prior sins is why that. Look me up).


9After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;


(Revelation 14:1-3) "And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.


2And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:


3And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth."


(So we see these 144k quickly gathered along with them ethnos/ethnic people part of the Church now in Heaven. They stand with Christ real quick gathered there and go to Heaven. Easy peasy).


10And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.


(Just as we see the Palms Blessed is He comes in the name of the Lord).


(Let's remember now Christ has came on white horse, not a donkey this time; Revelation 19. As King to rule over ALL the earth).


(John 12:12-14) "On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,


13Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.


14And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written.


To Revelation 7:11,


11And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,

(Everyone in Heaven now. But remember we have those elect with Christ for the Millennium. AND THEN HEAVEN COMES TO EARTH and they along right with it).

12Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.


13And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?


Where they come from?

(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."


14And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.


(Same timing. Before 6 and 7 of each what is called 'the great tribulation." But it's great tribulation).


15Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.


16They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.


17For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes."


(So it is, so it will be. We'll leave it there. Please work of this study. Any questions please do ask).


AMEN.

Revelation 7; Verses 1-3; The Seventh Seal (part I) Mark 13:14 to Christ' coming same time period.

Good morning, God bless. This study is going to bring a lot. Guaranteed to see, putting it together quite nicely. Glowing and flowing Friday. Everyday is flow-glow day though. lol. Lighted lamps, The Holy Spirit within received at the cross for our sins, crucifying the flesh. Now walking in, with, around The Holy Spirit. Amen. Remember all the seals have been located from Mark 13 up to now happening within them. Now between verses 14 and on till Christ' coming; Verse 24 seen below in direct correlation. So you know exactly what is happening. The Seventh Seal. So important. During the great tribulation (these are sealed between 6 and 7 of each, seals, trumpets, and vials. Don't see that yet, stick with it for a bit, as satan claims Christ/God between 6 and 7 of each; seals, trumpets, and vials). The first is is at the 5th trumpet, hence before satan claims Christ/God at 666. That is 6th seal, 6th trumpet, 6th vial. Hence, God's wrath for taking the mark of the beast here! The seals are overviews in them. Which gives you the beginning action to end result in overview. "Forest for the trees." Like you read any book that gives you an outline knowing and understanding overall before you start reading. Hence, at the end of the 6th seal Christ' coming, and the negative. Here and in the next study they are in Heaven because that is the end action after God's wrath takes place. What it all means my friend. Enjoy.

Also, no vial has happened yet. It goes vial 6 first, satan claiming Christ/God to vial 1 for taking the mark of the beast (look it up)! Then 2, 3, 4 (which the two witnesses (fire proceeds form their mouth, turn rivers into blood with the plagues. So there you know once again in the timing) bring through them and those who stand for Christ; Isaiah 13:3; Revelation 11, as the two witnesses lead the charge. Then vial 5 the world in darkness setting up vial 7 as Christ comes as the light, at the speed of light, as He is the light. Like a thief in the night. Why vial 5 is the world in darkness, satan's kingdom and Christ takes it from him. Question arises? Do we skip vial 6 then to to vial 7? Yes, why? Once the vial is poured out it is continuous through the whole great tribulation. Meaning once it's poured it's not stopped until Christ comes back. Great note I always point out: Christ comes at the speed of light, seen there in Matthew 24:27 the same timing as below we will go through in Mark 13. Changed in the twinkling of an eye is the same speed as the speed of sound, what are we talking then? Thunder. Thunder and lighting not so bad after all? Not when Christ comes. Isn't that amazing He puts that negative into positive for us? How else is the significant? He comes on the world in the positive for what they rejected. What is that? worshiping the world things of the world removing Him, then getting satan. Easy to see with ears to hear with The Holy Spirit penetrating. One more thing of the utmost importance. Bringing up to speed. The seals and trumpets correlate with each other. Obviously, no vial has happened as that is judgment, the plagues for taking the mark. All meet up at 666. satan claiming Christ/God in/at 6th seal, 6th trumpet, 6th vial.

Verse 9 tells you after this. Now we look to verse 14 which tells you what was explained above. (Revelation 7:14) "And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. "

PM always taught and said what? You plant seeds, family members, etc. they need to see it come to pass. This is it, of course! This is the very purpose for standing during the great Tribulation in helping others. Pulling them out of the fire God through you. What you do now is very important. Some are teaching false that sealing is almost over or that is it when satan claims to be Christ/God. If that were the case we would not be between 6th and 7th seal, like all the other seals as well.

(Revelation 7:1-3) "And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.

No wind damage. Here is the tribes of Israel scattered to the 4 corners of the earth, the uttermost parts (Isaiah 11:12-14 shows you Judah specific from the current split back to one stick coming there in Ezekiel 37. Them are not the tribes of Israel in the land of Israel now. Hence the promise in Ezekiel 37 to bring the real tribes there at Christ' coming! There is a remnant from the tribe of Judah there as written per the Parable of the Fig Tree. Who are they then? Synagogue of satan of course!

(What we have here is the winds (time) being stopped not being unleashed until they are sealed so there is no damage done from the predicted storm of God's wrath that awaits. This of course is in direct parallel of Ezekiel 37. So when reading that apply accordingly and you get both angles. Which is why we fill ourselves with the Word, no blind spots). We will look at other references.

Is time literally stopped? No. For us to understand.

2And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,

(Earth and sea = The earth is the beast that satan rises with causing the sea of Babylon). Revelation 13:11, that moment satan begins to claim be Christ/God in a different overview chapter, giving you another angle overall. Which of course once we learn the seals and the trumpets we can place that time directly! Easy peasy. You are now learning how to study the book of Revelation. We don't hide as false teachers. We want you to do it on your own, with a little help. Filling yourself with God's Word).

Here Christ teaching directly while on earth in the flesh, between 6 and 7 of each. That moment satan sets up we know is that 666 from verse 14 in Mark 13. As we have shown in the other studies the leading up to it. Please refer if needed. To bring you up to speed.

(Mark 13:24) "But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light."

(Mark 13:26-27) "And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.

27And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven."

(Here we go leaning The Holy Spiritual through the weather symbols. This is how God speaks for us to learn, know, and understand).

Quick recap. Coming with/in (it's with from the Greek) clouds is them cloud of witness up and down Scripture for the gathering back to Christ, one event all the same timing. YES, THE SAME CLOUDS OF COURSE AS IN I THESSALONIANS 4:17. What did Christ say here? After the Great tribulation. What do false teachers say? You are raptured to that cloud before it happens! Backwards? That's right as they have the whole Bible backwards, hope you see it you're in a great place. Not hard to see yes when you teach flesh doctrine from the very foundation. It's in their doctrine after saying Jesus, and a few religious vain words with no substance in meaning. No heart can even be in it not knowing the meaning. Where else? Daniel 7:13; Revelation 1:7, all eyes will see Him with them clouds. That tells you no secret pre trib rapture/rapture and all one timing).

3Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads."
