It’s almost 4 am, and the good Lord woke me up to write the next poem.
I’m so excited to turn to Chapter 7. I didn’t think Chapter 6 would ever end! John says, “After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back its four winds so that no wind would blow on land or sea or on any tree. And I saw another angel ascending from the east, with the seal of the living God. And he called out in a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm the land and the sea: “Do not harm the land or sea or trees until we have sealed the foreheads of the servants of our God.” Revelation 7:1-3 Holy crap! Did you hear that? There’s so much revelation coming at me that it feels like my heartbeat is going to stop! First, this spells out that a pre-tribulation understanding of scripture is nothing more than a false belief based on faulty doctrine. I would have never known this if I was not in the Word of God for myself! The servants of God are still on the earth after Jesus releases the first six judgements. Also, I’m pretty sure when John wrote this letter that he did not separate his words into separate chapters. We have to look at Chapter 7 in relation to what is written in Chapter 6. We need to pay attention to how the unfolding of God’s Word is intimately connected in both the Old and New Testament. The end of Chapter 6 was about the astronomical signs that represent the end times; and we as stewards of God’s Word should pay attention to what Jesus said to His Apostle John. Why so many Christians walk around in fear, afraid to hear the revelatory words of Jesus is beyond my understanding! This is the book that we should all dig in! Jesus showed this information to John so that His brothers and sisters would have Life-Giving Wisdom! After a time of false peace will come war, and after war comes famine, plagues, and death. One fourth of the earth will be taken from us in just a matter of a few short moments. The children of God will be beaten and killed for telling everyone about the Kingdom to Come. The earth will shift and fall of its axis, all of nature will lose its balance. Life will grow cold, the sun will turn black, and moon will turn red. And then, before the tearing of the seventh seal, Jesus will command the 4 angels to hold back the winds UNTIL the foreheads of the servants of God are sealed! Jesus! My heart is racing with such joy and expectation. My God is the God who keeps His promise! Right now, this is enough information for me to take in. Tomorrow I will read on and share the rest of Chapter 7.
