Thanks for the replies. Now I'm depressed.
I was hoping for something spiritual, like the wine represents the new wine of beleivers of Yahshua Messiah/Jesus. The oil represented Israel who have kept the commandments and hope in Yahweh/God.
hello dear sister.
revelation 6:5-6
[SUP]5 [/SUP]And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.
[SUP]6 [/SUP]And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny;
and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.
if we run the reference for what i just put in bold black above for verse 6... we see that god is leading us to that very answer sister karraster... of what is the oil and what is the wine.
the answer is found in revelation 7.
what is in
bold black below is the 4 angels and their commandment from god.
what is in
bold blue below is the angel and his commandment from god to the 4 angels.
what is in
bold purple below is the commandment from god to not hurt his sealed servants.
revelation 7:1-17
144,000 jews
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.
here we see that 4 angels are holding back the 4 winds... the 4 angels are holding something back that the 4 winds are symbolizing dear sister...
and we see that answer in the next verses below.
[SUP]
2 [/SUP]And 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,
[SUP]3 [/SUP]
Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
we see in these two verses now that an angel sealed with the seal of god himself came down and commanded the 4 angels to HURT the earth and sea... BUT NOT TO hurt the sealed servants of god.
so now we see that the 4 angels holding back the 4 winds... are actually holding back the WINDS OF WAR sister that must take place on earth and on sea.
for the first woe is passed... and so has the second woe passed dear sister... one woe left sister... battle of armageddon.
[SUP]4 [/SUP]
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.
now for the oil and wine...
we know the oil is a symbol and shadow of the holy spirit... but the wine dear sister... is amazing.
the wine is a symbol and a shadow of... god's true holy word revealed to the bride/ the elect/ the chosen before all creation... revelations of god holy word to every true holy spirited filled believer alone...
one holy body of god... one holy word of god... one holy way to believe god's holy word ( no variances in beliefs of god's holy word at all ) for god cannot say something and then say something different later... god is divine perfection and so is his holy word.
here is our example sister in matthew 16:13-20 and acts 2:1-21
matthew 16:13-20
revelation of the person of the king
[SUP]13 [/SUP]When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?[SUP]14 [/SUP]And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.
[SUP]15 [/SUP]He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
[SUP]16 [/SUP]And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
[SUP]17 [/SUP]And
Jesus answered and said unto him,
Blessed art thou,
Simon Barjona:
for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee,
but my Father which is in heaven.
revelation of the church
[SUP]18 [/SUP]
And I say also unto thee,
That thou art Peter,
and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
[SUP]19 [/SUP]And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
[SUP]20 [/SUP]Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ.
so we see above that god alone... through a supernatural revelation... showed peter who our lord jesus christ truly was... the messiah.
and we see also that our lord jesus christ states to peter... and to us... that god's holy church shall and will be built upon the supernatural revelations from god himself... of his own holy truth of his holy word.
one holy church of god... one holy body of god... one holy word of god... one holy way to believe god's holy word ( no variances in beliefs of god's holy word at all )... for god cannot say something and then say something different of his holy word... god is divine perfection and so is his holy word.
and...
acts 2:1-21
And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
[SUP]2 [/SUP]And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
[SUP]3 [/SUP]And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
[SUP]4 [/SUP]And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
[SUP]5 [/SUP]And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.
[SUP]6 [/SUP]Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.
[SUP]7 [/SUP]And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans?
[SUP]8 [/SUP]And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?
[SUP]9 [/SUP]Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia,
[SUP]10 [/SUP]Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes,
[SUP]11 [/SUP]Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.
[SUP]12 [/SUP]And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this?
[SUP]13 [/SUP]
Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine.
[SUP]14[/SUP]
But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you,
and hearken to my words:
[SUP]15 [/SUP]For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day.
[SUP]16 [/SUP]But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;
[SUP]17 [/SUP]And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God,
I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh:
and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
[SUP]18 [/SUP]
And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit;
and they shall prophesy:
[SUP]19 [/SUP]And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:
[SUP]20 [/SUP]The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and notable day of the Lord come:
[SUP]21 [/SUP]And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
what is in
bold black above is a true holy spirited believer.
what is in
bold blue above is the attributes of a true holy spirited believer... god through the holy spirit reveals his own holy word to the believer... gifts and fruits of the holy spirit.
shown below is the gifts of the holy spirit in 1 corinthians and the fruits of the holy spirit in galatians 5.
1 corinthians 12:1-12
Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.
[SUP]2 [/SUP]Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led.
[SUP]3 [/SUP]Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.
[SUP]4 [/SUP]Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
[SUP]5 [/SUP]And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.
[SUP]6 [/SUP]And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.
[SUP]7 [/SUP]But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.
[SUP]8 [/SUP]For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
[SUP]9 [/SUP]To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
[SUP]10 [/SUP]To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:
[SUP]11 [/SUP]But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.
[SUP]12 [/SUP]For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.
galatians 5:22-26
[SUP]22 [/SUP]But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,[SUP]23 [/SUP]Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
[SUP]24 [/SUP]And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
[SUP]25 [/SUP]If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
[SUP]26 [/SUP]Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.
so now we see the oil and wine being sealed... and we see exactly who they are dear sister.
[SUP]5 [/SUP]
Of 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.
[SUP]6 [/SUP]
Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand.

Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand.
[SUP]8 [/SUP]
Of 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.
and lastly dear sister...
we see god's commandment to of his holy word being fulfilled and the 144,000 are sealed out of the jews. and are now the servants of god.
there is so much more here dear sister but it would make a rather long post and i have already written quite a lengthy response to your question of...
I was hoping for something spiritual, like the wine represents the new wine of beleivers of Yahshua Messiah/Jesus. The oil represented Israel who have kept the commandments and hope in Yahweh/God.
much love sister and god bless you always.
