Chapter7 of Revelation

Chapter 7 inserted before the 7^th Seal because something has to happen before Christ returns at the seventh Trump. Heavenly Father we ask for wisdom in understanding Revelation. Thank you Father in the name of Yahshua Messiah Jesus the Christ, Amen.

Rev.Ch7:1 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.

The number 4 is the number for Earth. The four Angels are standing on the 4 corners of the Earth, north, south, east, and west holding back the four winds or the four elements of earth that will come to one point in place to bring to an end to this earth age. Jesus is telling the four Angels to stop. Don’t let the end happen yet because something must happen to God's people first. The four winds are as God’s hands controlling the earth.

When the four winds are let forth this will be the end of this earth age as we know it because Christ is about to return. The reason God does not want this earth age to end at this moment is because His people, the seed line of Christ, must be sealed with God’s truth because as it was in the beginning, so shall it be in the end.

Ezekiel talks about these same four winds along with other places in the Bible. Daniel Ch7 is another place. Eze 37:9 Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live. Here Ezekiel prophesied to the dry bones of spiritually dead people at this time and the wind (Holy Spirit) brought the dry bones of spiritually dead people alive to the truth of God’s word.

Rev.7:2 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,
So the four winds are stopped and the Eighth Angel has the seal of God. The living truth. Why? Because 144,000 of God’s chosen that satan will not be able to deceive are being sealed with the truth of God's word.
12,000 people from each of the twelve tribes of the Children of Israel.
Now, when I say tribe, you might think 144,000 people of just the Nation of Israel will be sealed in their forehead, their brain, who will have the truth of God in them. This means the Children of Israel wherever they might be in the world.
I pray I can explain this correctly.

Let’s take the native Americans for example, Because we all know they have tribes. There are the Apache, Seminole, Cherokee, Sioux, and so on. Now, Of the twelve tribes of the Children of Israel, Ten of those tribes migrated, Or crossed the Caucasus Mountains settling in Europe, Canada, the USA, And other free Christian countries.
And the mountains they crossed is where are word Caucasian comes from.
Now one of these tribes settled in Europe.
Did you ever here of the Kings of England? How about King James. King James had the Bible translated to English and that is the Bible that most people have in their homes. The King James version of the Bible. If you don't believe it just take a look at the name on your Bible. How about that?

Read about the tribes and how God's plan works. And if you want to have some fun and know your family history, Check out these tribes on the internet to see if you can find what Tribe your Nation might be from.

Now some people think that only the 144,000 will be the only ones who made it to Heaven. This is not true because our Father choose His elect before the foundations of the world.
Eph1:4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
1Pe1:20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,
Luke 11:50 That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;
The 144,000 are from the 12 tribes (Christ's seed line) in which are God's children who would be scattered throughout this Earth. Most don't know where they are. God knows however. He never lost them.
Rev 6:11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they [were], should be fulfilled.
Now who are the fellowservants? We who are in Christ that's who. Chosen before the foundation of this Earth age to fulfill Gods plan in these end times. What a blessing. What a time to be a part of. The prophets wanted to live in this end times.
I might go a step further and say the ones (people) that will be delivered up to satan and his councils as stated earlier will be the ones that lead the 144,000 and many other people around the world to the lord. Again, What a great time to live.
Mar13:9 But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them.
Mar13:10 And the gospel must first be published among all nations.
And it will go to all nations at this time. The whole world will here the truth for one last time in this flesh body.
Mar13:11 But when they shall lead [you], and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost. (Spirit)

Another item I feel you will be interested in knowing is that of Jacob in Gen.28

Gen28:11 And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and he took of the stones of that place, and put [them for] his pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep.
Vs18 And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put [for] his pillows, and set it up [for] a pillar, and poured oil upon the top of it.
Vs19 And he called the name of that place Bethel: but the name of that city [was called] Luz at the first.
Vs22 And this stone, which I have set [for] a pillar, shall be God's house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee.
What is the point of the above verses? The stone that Jacob used for a pillow is called the stone of destiny, And Kings and Queens have taken their vows over it in England.

The stone also represents the true house of God. The Church. Bethel, meaning house of God.
God told us all in his letter He has written to us.

Now back to Rev7:3

7:3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.

So, this Angel is saying with a loud voice, do not hurt this earth, this globe at this time, until the servants are sealed with the truth of God, His word, His story, meaning history. We also can have this truth if we just pick up the Bible and read it, to know what the plan of our Father through Jesus is and will be.

So God’s servants will be sealed with His truth in their foreheads or their mind. Not by a rubber stamp or a computer chip, but just with the true word of our Father.

7:4 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 here is where many people think that only 144,000 will know and receive the truth and make it to heaven in good standing with Jesus.

This is not so for there are countless numbers that know the truth and were servants of our Lord such as Moses, Daniel, Ezekiel so some, most, or all, I do not know, of the 144,000 are already with the Lord and will be Teachers and Priest of our Lord God.

I will try to explain this the best I can in a short story because of its length.

In the book of Genesis all races (man) were created on the 6^th day. Adam was formed on the 8^th day. Now through Adam and Eve would come Jesus Christ. This is the start of His seed line through Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. From Jacob through Joseph and his children came the 12 tribes.

After the children of God came out of captivity in the land of Egypt by the hand of God through Moses, Joshua led them into the promise land. The land we know now as Israel. Remember these people were to be the seed line for Christ.

Satan tried to destroy this seed line so Christ would not be born of a virgin. The first time satan tried to destroy the seed line was why God sent the flood in Noah’s time.

Everything I am saying is from God’s word; so it can be documented; so if you have a question about a certain subject send me an email and we will do a special study on your subject. I could go on and on so I hope you get the idea from this.

King Solomon was King over all the 12 tribes at this time until Solomon’s heart turned away from God. So the tribes were split into 10 and 2 tribes and were called the tribe of Judah and the tribe of Israel in which Israel consist of 10 tribes.

1 kings11:31 And he said to Jeroboam, "Take for yourself ten pieces, for thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: 'Behold, I will tear the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon and will give ten tribes to you. 1 Kings12:21 And when Rehoboam came to Jerusalem, he assembled all the house of Judah with the tribe of Benjamin.

Judah was taken captive by King Nebuchadnezzar about 400 B.C. in the modern day land of Iraq. After Judah’s captivity they returned to Israel, then in 1948 Israel became a nation with the good and the bad fig. This is part of the parable of the fig tree. But where are the ten tribes? Here is what many people do not know.

Israel, the 10 tribes, was taken into captivity by the Assyrians about 600B.C. When the time of their release came the 10 tribes scattered, as God said He would do with them.

Neh1:8 Remember, I beseech thee, the word that thou commandedst thy servant Moses, saying, [If] ye transgress, I will scatter you abroad among the nations:

So where did they go? After their captivity ended the 10 tribes were scattered everywhere. Most of them went over the Caucasus Mountains and settled in Europe, Ireland, England, and then to the USA, Canada, and so on. You could say, most of the Christian Nations of today.

And because they went over the Caucasus Mountains, this is where our word Caucasian came from.

So now we have the 10 tribes scattered all over the world and only Judah is in Israel. This is history, His story. This is where people of the world came from.

Do a search and you will find all you need about this. Most Teachers and Preachers do not even know this.

In case you do not understand just think of the Native American Indians. They have tribes and no doubt are one of the 10. The 10 tribes are not lost as many feel. God knows exactly where He sent them.

Judah is the King line and Levi is the Priest line. Now the virgin Mary was of both the King and Priest line bringing forth Jesus who is the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords.

7:5 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.

Juda ---Judah = "praised"=the son of Jacob by Leah==the tribe descended from Judah the son of Jacob== the fourth son of Jacob ==the territory occupied by the tribe of Judah==the kingdom comprised of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin which occupied the southern part of Canaan after the nation split upon the death of Solomon

Reuben--- Reuben = "behold a son"= the eldest son of Jacob by Leah=the tribe descended from Reuben

Gad--- Gad = "a troop"=the seventh son of the patriarch Jacob, by Zilpah, Leah's maid== the tribe descended from Gad

7:6 Of 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.

Aser--- Asher = "blessed"== the eighth son of Jacob= the tribe descended from Asher

was the sixth son of Jacob, the second child borne to him by Bilhah, Rachel's handmaid. His posterity form the tribe of Naphtali.

7:7 Of 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.

Simeon or Shimeon = "heard"== the 2nd son of Jacob by his wife Leah and progenitor of the tribe of Simeon

Levi--- Levi = "joined"== the third son of the patriarch Jacob by his wife Leah, the founder of the tribe of Israelites which bears his name

Issachar--- Issachar = "reward"= the ninth son of Jacob and the fifth of Leah

7:8 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.

Zabulon--- Zebulun = "exalted"== the 10th of the sons of Jacob, 6th and last of Leah; progenitor of Zebulun==the tribe descended from Zebulun

Joseph --- Joseph = "Jehovah has added"== the eldest son of Jacob by Rachel== the patriarch, the eleventh son of Jacob

Benjamin-- Benjamin = "son of the right hand" or, "son of good fortune"=Jacob's twelfth son= the tribe of Benjamin= Jacob's and Rachel's youngest son, Joseph's full brother

Note: Ephraim and Dan are excluded from the tribes because they turned to idol worship, However, in the book of Ezekiel they will be re-instated.

7:9 After 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;

Now we are in Heaven so remember where John was taken? He was taken to the Lord’s Day in His spiritual body. Now John is seeing many, many people of all races (ethnic peoples) of different Nations standing before Christ.

A countless number that believed upon Christ like your ancestors, relatives, friends, and so on. They are already there with Jesus who washed the robes with the blood of the Lamb. They followed Jesus Christ.

So this let’s you know that more then 144,000 will make it to the Lord on the Lord’s day because there are countless numbers already in Heaven.

This is not the first time people waved palms to Jesus. People in the flesh waved Palms when Jesus came into Jerusalem for the last time before His crucifixion by the Kenites. John 12:13 Took 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.

7:10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.

Just think. John is seeing all these people in their spiritual bodies in Heaven. The multitude is praising God and Jesus.

7:11 And 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,

7:12 Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, [be] unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.

In Rev. Ch 5 the word power was used looking forward to this day. Now it has changed to thanksgiving because they received their blessings by overcoming the ways of this world. They stayed true to our Father through Jesus Christ.

7:13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?

The white robes spiritual speaking is woven together from the fine linen of your righteous acts (your works) that you accomplished while in the flesh on earth.

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.

Everyone in this flesh body sins, but praise God for Jesus because all we have to do is believe and ask Him to forgive us of our sins.

So this is they that washed their robes with the blood of Jesus Christ. They repented and followed Christ and not the ways of this world.

7:15 Therefore 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.

7:16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.

Just beautiful that’s all I can say about this verse. Hunger does not mean for food. What is the famine of the end times?

Amos8:11 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:

7:17 For 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.

John is seeing all this take place and Christ will return at the seventh trumpet.
