The Seven Trumpets: 1

So, the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared them to sound.

The first angel sounded: And hail and fire followed, mingled with blood, and they were thrown to the earth.

And a third of all the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up.

Our Lord and our God, have mercy on us!

Consideration: Hail and fire mingled with blood. Millions of holy martyrs and holy innocent's blood has been

shed.

Mankind is responsible for allowing acts of violence to occur. God's punishments are God's justice.    

The Opening of the Seals: 7

When He opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour! 

And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and to them were given seven trumpets. 

Then another angel, having a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense, 

That he should offer it with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.

And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, ascended before God from the angel's hand.

Then the Angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and threw it to the earth.

And there were noises, thundering, lightning, and a great earthquake.

Silence in heaven: The time is at hand...repent!

 

Father, the cup of abominations is overflowing. Have mercy on those that have strayed and pray for mercy. They have repented, humbled themselves, and have been washed in the blood of the Lamb. Amen!

The Opening of the Seals: 6 Part 3

Then one of the elders answered, saying to me, "Who are these arrayed in white robes, and where did they come from?"

And I said to him, "Sir, you know," So he said to me, "These are the ones who came out of the great tribulation, and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

"Therefore, they are before the throne of God, and serve Him night and day in His temple. And He who sits on the throne will dwell among them.

They shall neither hunger anymore nor thirst anymore; the sun shall not strike them, nor any heat; for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd them and lead them to living fountains of waters. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."

Those in white robes: Victory from the great tribulation, washed in the blood of the Lamb.

Lamb of God and Shepherd: Will lead them to living fountains of waters.

Saved from all unrighteousness and sin: God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.

He who sits on the throne will dwell among them. They shall neither hunger anymore nor thirst anymore.

The Opening of the Seals: 6 Part 2

I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, on the sea, or on any tree.

Then 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 granted to harm the earth and the sea, saying, "Do not harm the earth, the sea, or the trees till we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads."

And I heard the number of those who were sealed. One hundred and forty-four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel were sealed; Judah, Reuben, Gad, Asher, Naphtali, Manasseh, Simeon, Levi, Issachar, Zebulun, Joseph, and Benjamin, twelve thousand were sealed.

I looked and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, saying, "Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!"

All the angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures, and fell on their faces before the throne and worshipped God, saying: "Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom, Thanksgiving and honor and power and might, be to our God forever and ever, Amen."

The Mighty Angels: On a mission from God; obedient to His will and command.

The Tribes of the children of Israel: One hundred and forty-four thousand to be sealed.

Worship, Blessing, Glory, Wisdom, Thanksgiving, Honor, Power and Might, to God forever and ever, Amen!

The Opening of the Seals: 6 Part1

I looked, when He opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood. And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind.

Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place.

And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, and said to the mountains and the rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! "For the great day of his wrath has come, and who is able to stand?"

Great Earthquake: Attention, the appointed time is here.

The Sky, Mountains, Islands: Moved by the hand of God.

Wrath: All inhabitants of the earth shaken to the core in fear.

Father, forgive us from our transgressions, igniting the flame of your love, to the wrath of justice.   

The Opening of the Seals: 5

When he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held.

And they cried with a loud voice, saying, "How long, O Lord, holy and true, until you avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?"

White robes were given to each of them; and it was said to them that they should rest a little while longer, until their fellow servants and their brethren, who would be killed as they were, was completed.

​

Martyrdom: Under the altar of sacrifice, slain for the word and testimony in love of God.

Justice: How long, O Lord, until you avenge our blood.

Fulfillment: White robes of glory until the blood of their brethren was completed.

​

Our Lord is merciful, but also just. His appointed time will come, and justice will be served.

The blood of the martyrs will not go unpunished.   

The Great Promise

Where have they gone, does life go on, or do we just cease to be.

This life is hard, no matter who you are, it’s not always as it seems.

We move forward through it all, some leave, others come to be.

This is life, this is the journey we’re on, live, love, forgive, believe.

In time, when time is no more, we will understand everything. 

Why we were born, why we laughed, why we cried, rich and poor.

Why we suffered it all, why we dreamed, kept the faith, believed.

On that glorious day, free from the pain, and we are together again. 

We will understand, free from misery, in total joy never to end.

The past forgotten, all things will be new, and we will forever be.

The Great Promise. Keep the faith, live, love, forgive, believe!
