The Seals
6 I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, “Come!” 2 I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest.
There has been a lot of debate over this, but it doesn’t make any sense to me. Is this the Lord riding forth with the gospel or is it the Antichrist riding forth with a perverted gospel? Use some common sense, no one wants a counterfeit bill of some currency they never heard of. A counterfeit bill is only valuable if there is a real dollar bill. No one will have a perverted gospel unless there is a real gospel. Satan doesn’t create anything, he simply copies what the Lord has done. After the Lord was crucified and then resurrected what happened? The gospel went forth throughout the entire earth. Obviously you can describe the gospel going forth to the whole earth as this white horse. However, another gospel was soon seen as well, this was mentioned in Galatians, Paul said it wasn’t another gospel but a perversion of the true gospel. We have both the true gospel and the counterfeit gospel and this has been taking place for two thousand years. But when the tribulation begins then you will see the full blown perverted gospel with the full blown counterfeit messiah.
3 When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come!” 4 Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make people kill each other. To him was given a large sword.
This is a mystery that has been hidden from the ages and was only opened after the Lord rose and went to the heavens. Obviously the mystery has to do with spiritual warfare. Everything we see on earth is a shadow of the heavenly things. If we see WW1 and WW2 know that there is war in heaven. If the gospel goes forth there is warfare. Many don’t realize that WW1 was instrumental in sending Bibles across the globe. The Gideons handed out bibles to the servicemen who went abroad and then after the war they became “Gideon’s international” instead of just the US. They have distributed 2.5 billion bibles and are in 200 countries with over 200 translations of the Bible. Jesus said that He had come to take peace from the earth. People don’t appreciate that the gospel is going to be preached on the front lines of this warfare.
Once the tribulation starts you will see that the Antichrist is in a full blown war against the gospel. He will portray Christians as the enemy, they will be persecuted, arrested, attacked and killed. You will be required to worship the Antichrist under pain of death if you refuse. This is the war that is being unsealed.
5 When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come!” I looked, and there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. 6 Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, “Two pounds of wheat for a day’s wages, and six pounds of barley for a day’s wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!”
After believers are saved with the gospel they need to be fed, hence the church age. We see this in the story of the good Samaritan. Jesus rescued us from the side of the road, took us to the Inn (the church) and gave them money to feed us so we could get restored to health. During the tribulation the Antichrist will also use food to control you, and he will do it with famine. Few would be willing to trade their soul for food if they weren’t starving. So he will do his best to bring the world to starvation.
7 When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, “Come!” 8 I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.
The other thing that the Lord paid for was for us to get medicine to heal our wounds. Satan has used drugs and pornography and all sorts of evils to damage and harm people. The word of God and the love of the saints can bring us back to a healthy living. Once again, Satan will use the plague to force people to take the mark of the beast. What is a “vaccine passport”? It is the world so afraid of disease that they tell you that you must get these shots or else you are a danger to everyone.
9 When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained. 10 They called out in a loud voice, “How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?” 11 Then each of them was given a white robe, and they were told to wait a little longer, until the full number of their fellow servants, their brothers and sisters, were killed just as they had been.
This is what we have been doing the last few years. Looking at those killed by the pandemic and the vaccine and the phony wars and the drugs. Everything they say is “paranoid conspiracy theory” has turned out to be true. Corporations have killed those who stood for the Lord. They have tried to destroy the whistleblowers who talked about Pfizer or about elections being stolen, or about selling out the country to foreign powers. If you have been left behind you probably were not one with the Holy Spirit to shine a light on this and speak a word of salt to put this evil to death. But now during the tribulation you get a second chance!
12 I watched as he opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake. The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole moon turned blood red, 13 and the stars in the sky fell to earth, as figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind. 14 The heavens receded like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place. 15 Then the kings of the earth, the princes, the generals, the rich, the mighty, and everyone else, both slave and free, hid in caves and among the rocks of the mountains. 16 They called 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! 17 For the great day of their wrath has come, and who can withstand it?”
This is referring to the rapture. However, if you are here during the tribulation what was the world’s response to the rapture? Did they realize that the great day of the wrath of the Lamb had come or were they confused with all the garbage about aliens? This is a two part battle, that rapture should have rocked this world, now you step forward speaking the truth and shining a light on what is happening and when the remnant is raptured then all will know that the great day of the wrath of the Lamb has come. The Lord is giving the world a second chance to receive the gospel, but if they refuse if from you, now at the end of this age, then they will receive the wrath of the Lamb.

7 After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth to prevent any wind from blowing on the land or on the sea or on any tree.
Because John saw this after the sixth seal is opened all the Bible expositors have taught that this happens after the sixth seal is opened. However, a recent angel visitation from Gabriel to Vicky Goforth Parnell says that the 144,000 have been sealed and activated. So let us see if that aligns with the word of God.
2 Then I saw another angel coming up from the east, having the seal of the living God. He called out in a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm the land and the sea: 3 “Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees until we put a seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God.” 4 Then I heard the number of those who were sealed: 144,000 from all the tribes of Israel.
What is another word for "holding back", it is "restraining". In Thessalonians we are told that after the restrainer steps aside the man of lawlessness is revealed. In the gospels Jesus said that they were eating, drinking, marrying and giving in marriage until the day that Noah entered the ark and the flood took them all away. So we see from two different testimonies in the word of God, both Paul and Jesus, that when the rapture takes place the restrainer stops restraining. So if we look at this timeline you would see that when the sixth seal is opened the angels who have been given power to harm land and sea are no longer restrained. However, this cannot happen until after the 144,000 are sealed. So it is definitely Biblical to say that the 144,000 will be completely sealed prior to the rapture and therefore prior to the opening of the sixth seal. In fact, it could be something like the seven day warning that Noah got.
This also explains why John would see the sixth seal opened first before seeing this. One big thing that we will see after the sixth seal is opened is the two witnesses along with the 144,000 evangelizing the earth. So then I'd want to see who these are and know a little about them.

Now let's examine this theory about a peace treaty for seven years.
Daniel 9:27 He will confirm a covenant with many for one ‘seven.’ In the middle of the ‘seven’ he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And at the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him.”
If this covenant is a peace treaty with Israel allowing them to rebuild the temple and worship the Lord, then why wouldn't this say "in the middle of the 'seven' he will break the covenant"?
Daniel 9:27 He will confirm a covenant with many for one ‘seven.’ In the middle of the ‘seven’ he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And at the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him.”
If this covenant is a peace treaty with Israel allowing them to rebuild the temple and worship the Lord, then why wouldn't this say "in the middle of the 'seven' he will break the covenant"?
Revelation -- This will make your head spin but is simply due to the fact that God desires all to be saved.
The Great Multitude in White Robes
9 After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. 10 And they cried out in a loud voice:
“Salvation belongs to our God,
who sits on the throne,
and to the Lamb.”
11 All the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures. They fell down on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, 12 saying:
“Amen!
Praise and glory
and wisdom and thanks and honor
and power and strength
be to our God for ever and ever.
Amen!”
This sounds a lot like what the elders were saying in chapter 5 when Jesus opened the scroll. You can see why this book is so confusing. It is not written in a linear fashion. Revelation 4 looks like the rapture, the church is in the throne room with Jesus who is being crowned king. The elders refer to those raptured as first fruits in the Barley harvest, the harvest of the Old Testament saints. However their praises in chapter five sound like those who are saved out of the Great tribulation, the tribulation saints or the general harvest of wheat. So then the "24 elders" and the lampstand refer to both the church that was raptured before the great tribulation and the OT saints. We saw the rapture when the sixth seal was opened, so how come we see the lampstand in the heavens before the first seal is opened. Paul explained this in Ephesians, the church is the body of Christ and is seated together with Him in the heavens. When we die we are present with the Lord. If you are hoping to be raptured before the tribulation then this must be your reality. You must already be with the Lord in the heavens in your spirit.
13 Then one of the elders asked me, “These in white robes—who are they, and where did they come from?”
14 I answered, “Sir, you know.”
And he said, “These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 15 Therefore,
“they are before the throne of God
and serve him day and night in his temple;
and he who sits on the throne
will shelter them with his presence.
16 ‘Never again will they hunger;
never again will they thirst.
The sun will not beat down on them,’
nor any scorching heat.
17 For the Lamb at the center of the throne
will be their shepherd;
‘he will lead them to springs of living water.’
‘And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.’”
The white robes and being those who came out of the great tribulation, they are innumerable, there will be a very great harvest during the tribulation. We have been scattering seeds over the entire earth and they are going to sprout and mature during the three and half years. Also the Lord is sending out 144,000 who will evangelize, water and help these ones to mature fully.
So then who is this "elder" who asks this question? It could be one of the patriarchs, or OT saints but I suspect it is one of those who were raptured before the tribulation. Either one that had died and came out of the grave or one that was still alive at the time and caught up. I think this because they know about the tribulation saints, this was something that was hidden in ages past but was only opened up to us at the time of Paul's ministry after Jesus rose from the dead and took the scroll. Many of us do not understand why so few are raptured before the tribulation, but suppose they are to become "elders". How many elders do you need? Maybe one twentieth or even one hundredth of all those who are saved.
But this is what makes Revelation so confusing. You can also see these seven seals playing out during the seven years of the seventieth week. Satan and the Antichrist is a counterfeit and so you will see all of this play out then. You will see the 144,000 then, you will see this great revival and all these ones get saved and washed in the blood of the lamb then as well.

I like the analogy of school. Some kids graduate as valedictorians and in most countries that means they go into the top universities and become the leaders of the nation. Others graduate on time, others graduate late and still others get their GED. Now if we, being sinners, know how to be merciful to our kids how about God who desires all men to be saved?
We don't make a distinction when you graduate. Yes, some will wear a sash to indicate valedictorian or some other honor, but they all wear the same robes. In the case of the rapture they all have white robes. Likewise everyone that is raptured will all have a job -- they serve God.
Therefore there is no need for the book of Revelation to keep repeating the graduation ceremony.
However, in order to graduate you need to see what is in the scroll and have that mystery revealed to you.

Romans 9:33 Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence:
And he that believeth on him shall not be put to shame.
We are not intentionally trying to offend people but the fact is if you are faithful to the Lord to preach the gospel and be a witness you will offend people. If someone is trying to mentor you as a gospel preacher by teaching you how to not ever offend anyone, you need a new mentor. Put your faith in the word of God, not in political correctness.
Romans 10:
20 And Isaiah is very bold, and saith,
I was found of them that sought me not;
I became manifest unto them that asked not of me.
21 But as to Israel he saith, All the day long did I spread out my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.
This is my experience, it is often the people you would least expect that receive the gospel whereas you can spend hours and hours wasting time with religious people.

Generally when you "strengthen" a covenant for a set period of time it is like the shutdown during the pandemic or instituting Martial Law. You are saying that it is temporary until we can get control of things again.
So let's consider this covenant a little more. Antichrist is a counterfeit of Jesus Christ. When Jesus came He began His ministry by proclaiming the year of Jubilee. His ministry was all about forgiving the debt of sin. Now let's suppose that prior to Antichrist we have the pretribulation rapture, that the "restrainer" steps aside. And that once that happens the angels who have been restrained from harming the Earth and Sea now harm the earth and sea and that the Great Babylon (the US) is destroyed in one hour. For the Antichrist this would be like baptism by fire. The US is a major producer of food, if there were no exports from the US, and India has already banned exports of rice and Ukraine and Russia have already shut down exports, then the world would be in a dire situation for food. Not only so there is $35 trillion of US debt floating around the world. With that now worthless the entire world's economy would come down like dominoes. How do you solve this? Not to mention the panic and hopelessness after the rapture for those left behind as well as the shock and awe of the two witnesses and the 144,000.
I expect that Daniel doesn't tell us more about this covenant because we should already know. He will be "strengthening" and "confirming" the covenant by erasing all debt (he would have no choice, God just did that, but he would take credit for it) and by instituting a world currency, the digital currency which will include biometrics/the mark to make sure there is no fraud. The situation will be so dire that the world will accept this as the only way to get back on their feet after this cataclysmic event. This is what they are planning with Agenda 2030. They want to control what you buy with a social credit score to keep people from consuming too much meat or gasoline.
So let's consider this covenant a little more. Antichrist is a counterfeit of Jesus Christ. When Jesus came He began His ministry by proclaiming the year of Jubilee. His ministry was all about forgiving the debt of sin. Now let's suppose that prior to Antichrist we have the pretribulation rapture, that the "restrainer" steps aside.

The US is a major producer of food, if there were no exports from the US, and India has already banned exports of rice and Ukraine and Russia have already shut down exports, then the world would be in a dire situation for food. Not only so there is $35 trillion of US debt floating around the world. With that now worthless the entire world's economy would come down like dominoes. How do you solve this? Not to mention the panic and hopelessness after the rapture for those left behind as well as the shock and awe of the two witnesses and the 144,000.
I expect that Daniel doesn't tell us more about this covenant because we should already know. He will be "strengthening" and "confirming" the covenant by erasing all debt (he would have no choice, God just did that, but he would take credit for it) and by instituting a world currency, the digital currency which will include biometrics/the mark to make sure there is no fraud. The situation will be so dire that the world will accept this as the only way to get back on their feet after this cataclysmic event. This is what they are planning with Agenda 2030. They want to control what you buy with a social credit score to keep people from consuming too much meat or gasoline.
Ezekiel 7 The End Has Come -- An Unheard of disaster
1 The word of the Lord came to me: 2 “Son of man, this is what the Sovereign Lord says to the land of Israel: “‘The end! The end has come upon the four corners of the land! 3 The end is now upon you, and I will unleash my anger against you. I will judge you according to your conduct and repay you for all your detestable practices.
Seven times the Lord says the end has come and it is the end to different things. This is referring to detestable practices and to the four corners of the land. First, the Ever Green Ship grounded in the Suez Canal and was held by the Egyptians. The word is that this ship was involved in trafficking of human beings and perhaps children. Seizing that ship was a sign to the world that the end has come for those involved in this detestable practice. Second, the Catholic church recently held a big conference including the Pope with prominent pro abortionists and pagans. The apostasy is out in the open, in your face, for all to see. Third, Maricopa county is doing a full forensic audit of 2.1 million ballots. The Democrats fought tooth and nail to prevent that audit so it is a good bet they have something to hide. Fourth, there is a rumor that the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan was from the white hats leaving the CIA and their drug operation in Afghanistan stranded. Fifth we can see the inflation hitting the US and incredibly irresponsible spending that will bankrupt this country and send us into hyper inflation. Sixth, we are already seeing world war 3 breaking out. Seventh, we saw vaccine mandates or else you are fired, forced vaccinations in Australia, and in France and you couldn't enter a grocery store without a vaccine passport.
4 I will not look on you with pity; I will not spare you. I will surely repay you for your conduct and for the detestable practices among you. “‘Then you will know that I am the Lord.’
This is the second time He has promised to repay them for their detestable practices. This word is sure. The only salvation is in the Lord’s blood. Repent for your fornication, your fraud and your apostasy.
5 “This is what the Sovereign Lord says: “‘Disaster! Unheard-of disaster! See, it comes! 6 The end has come! The end has come!
You can see this end coming if you only look up. For many years people thought the story of Noah’s flood was exaggeration. No one had ever heard of a worldwide event where it would rain for 40 days and 40 nights. No one had ever heard of a flood that could go over the tops of the highest mountains. But then we discovered the town at the bottom of the Black Sea that was destroyed at the end of the last ice age. People realized that could have been where Noah was from. Later we discovered evidence of huge floods that came out of the tallest mountains in India and the US at the end of the last ice age. No one could explain it, they theorized great ice dams had collapsed, but once again there was evidence of this Biblical flood at the time of Noah. Then they discovered a huge thousand foot high chevrons in Madagascar caused by a giant tsunami also at the end of the last ice age and we discovered craters on the bottom of the Indian ocean from an asteroid. We then realized a giant asteroid hit the ocean at the end of the last ice age vaporizing a huge amount of water which went into stratosphere, circled the globe and then returned to earth as very hot rain. This could have been the cause of the forty days and forty nights of rain. So we realized we were not so smart, we thought this was impossible but there it was in the rock record, undeniable. However, an asteroid hitting the earth does not rise to “unheard of disaster”. No what really stood out was the extinction of hundreds of species on all six continents, animals that might have been domesticated, big herd animals that could plow the land and provide transportation and be useful in war. The exception was 13 large domesticated animals from Mesopotamia, apart from them the only other survivor of this flood was the Llama. It was as though someone had a barn full of these 13 animals (cows, pigs, sheep, goats and horses) and saved them all. Now that is something that no one has ever heard of and yet there are 200 independent flood myths of this event with uncanny similarities including references to a man with a boat who saved the animals. The oldest Chinese character for boat is composed of the words 8 and souls. Why would 8 souls be your word for boat unless you are referring to Noah, his wife, and his three sons and their wives? Now that is truly an unheard of disaster that even if it were told you you would not believe. Still it would be hard to shock us today, we are familiar with plagues and asteroids, apocalyptic fires, tsunamis, nuclear disasters, etc. In fact the only thing that is truly unheard of today would be the rapture. Just as Israel leaving Egypt was a disaster to the Egyptians, the rapture at the end of the age will be a disaster to the world, an unheard of disaster. Don’t you love the way the Lord has these double entendres? No one can talk about the rapture without being ridiculed, as a result very few people do talk about it and therefore it is “unheard of” disaster.

Ezekiel 7:7-11 "Doom has burst forth, the rod has budded, arrogance has blossomed".
7 Doom has come upon you, upon you who dwell in the land. The time has come! The day is near! There is panic, not joy, on the mountains.
The mountains refer to the elites. There is panic right now for the elites. When you have a complete collapse in the economy and world order it is always the elites whose heads get put on a spike. Why are they so desperate to start a race war between whites and everyone else? Whites make up 50% of the US, if 49% of the US is fighting with the other 49% then the 2% might be able to escape notice. But now we can see it, this is so obvious even Charles Barkley pointed it out. They are so desperate they want to convince you that a cop who saved a girl from being stabbed to death only days after another girl was stabbed to death was somehow wrong for shooting the girl with the knife. What is wokeism, it demonstrates the panic among the mountains, among the multinational corporations, among MLB, among athletes, among pundits, they are all being cancelled. The vaccine mandate in NYC is evidence of panic, correction officers, teachers and the military are all rejecting this mandate. The Afghanistan fiasco sent Biden's approval plummeting. Cuomo is out, and Biden's attempt to put his political opponents in jail demonstrates the panic.
8 I am about to pour out my wrath on you and spend my anger against you. I will judge you according to your conduct and repay you for all your detestable practices.
Wokeism is a detestable practice. They pontificate about how you have to listen to and believe every woman, ignoring the Bible’s requirement of having at least two witnesses before bringing a charge against an elder. With Kavanaugh one woman from twenty years previously without any specifics or details that can be verified, but with Cuomo or Biden they have 3, 7, even 10 witnesses and they ignore it. It is virtue signalling and it is hypocrisy. These pedophile rings and human trafficking rings are detestable. CRT is detestable.
9 I will not look on you with pity; I will not spare you. I will repay you for your conduct and for the detestable practices among you. “‘Then you will know that it is I the Lord who strikes you.
What is the point of having these public confessions of being guilty because you are white? You want people to take pity on you? It is pathetic, like Megan Markle giving us a sob story even though she lives in a mansion, is a royal, and had the most magnificent wedding anyone could ever imagine. Still she is “oppressed”. Do you honestly think the Lord or anyone else is going to look on her with pity?
10 “‘See, the day! See, it comes! Doom has burst forth, the rod has budded, arrogance has blossomed!
Wow, one wonderful expression after another! It is like a combination thrown by a prizefighter. “Doom has burst forth!” It sounds like a dam has burst. I can see that the audit in Maricopa county could be a crack in the dam, just the other day the Gateway pundit did an expose on election fraud in Michigan, another crack in the dam. I can see that the EverGreen ship could be such an event, perhaps from testimony given by Ghislain Maxwell, and the Sound of Freedom are all cracks in the dam. I have heard that Maxwell's testimony is thousands and thousands of pages. I could see that the new variants in Covid could be such an event. As a virus spreads it mutates, if you are practicing social distancing and using thermometers the least virulent strains will be the most successful, in this way it will become similar to the common cold. However, the most terrifying places are India, South Africa and Brazil because they have the worst slums in the world. In a slum the most virulent strain will be the most successful. Doom has burst forth in Afghanistan as we armed the Taliban with billions of dollars of state of the art weapons. WW3 with Russia in Ukraine and China in Taiwan and Iran in Israel could be the doom bursting forth. All of these events could be the “doom has burst forth” but what really comes to mind is the 3 Gorges dam. If that dam bursts then it will truly be doom to the world. Have you seen the floods in China? The Yangtze river basin represents the biggest manufacturing economy in the world. It would be wiped out. The electricity from the Dam generates the digital currency the world is trying to switch to, that also would be destroyed. Such an event would be so devastating to China it is hard to predict how they would react. 500 million people would be killed or displaced by that flood. But “doom has burst forth” is probably the best way to describe what will happen. Then “the rod has budded”! Wow! This is a reference to Aaron’s budding rod, it shows which of the 12 tribes God chose, it was a type of the outstanding resurrection. The first rapture will be such a resurrection, it will be “the rod has budded”. “Arrogance has blossomed”. Isn’t that true, can’t you see that? If you can’t see that arrogance has blossomed among Biden’s administration, among the mainstream media and among the tech giants then your eyes are closed. We have news anchors saying it is no longer necessary to be fair and balanced in their assessment of the news. Tech giants are censoring people at their whim, even the President of the United States. Biden is ruling by fiat, signing executive orders without any regard to the law, to the will of the people, or to the constitution. Arrogance has blossomed. Did you see the Feds kill a 70 year old man who was 300 lbs and essentially homebound because of comments he made on social media?
11 Violence has arisen, a rod to punish the wicked. None of the people will be left, none of that crowd—none of their wealth, nothing of value.
Very true. Black Lives Matter has had close to 600 violent riots in the last twelve months. They justify looting, rioting, and even when they get what they want as they did with Chauvin trial they are still calling to “burn it all down”. All of these things are a warning of what is about to happen. We have also seen Russia has arisen, invading Ukraine. It is said that the center of the human trafficking rings is in Ukraine.
