Chapter 7 Chapter 7 Rev 7:1-4 Four angels standing at the four corners of the world, given authority by Father God. Throughout the ages, God has maintained a wall of protection around mankind to bless us, to keep us safe and to spur us on to do better and greater things. But here, God is removing His protection from us Wind here is ruach ha kodesh meaning Holy Spirit 3

Chapter 7 Chapter 7 In these verses, multiple layers of symbology Simple level, four angels standing at the four corners, holding back the wind. Corners kanaf which is the tallit (the prayer shawl) Deeper level God draw us under His protection of His wings in a marriage relationship The woman with the 12 years issue of blood who touched His garments was instantly healed. God only withhold his protection on those who reject Him, not everyone. In the past, even the evil and those who reject Yeshua are protected because of a few righteous man. Now this protection for those who reject Him is removed. Genesis 18 where God would spare Sodom and Gomorrah if enough righteous people could be found. 4

The Mysterious 144,000 The Mysterious 144,000 They come from the twelve tribes of Israel. 12 means perfected righteous government . 12 times 12 makes it clear that God has determined that this will not change. Yeshua picks up His groomsmen as was done in an ancient Hebrew betrothal sequence. These groomsmen have the power of attorney to act on the groom s behalf when the groom went away to prepare place for his bride. They are unmarried virgin men These men always came directly from the groom s own people They are watchmen or bond-servants who generally followed and served the groom, helping him to prepare for his wedding with great dedication 5

The Guests The Guests The 144,000 only perform the duty of the groomsmen, not witnesses for end-times as taught by several other teachers. There is no great end-times revival mention in the Bible, what s prophesied instead is a great falling away. Rev 7:9-17 these are martyrs. They are not to be mistaken for His bride! The bride and bridegroom is the Jewish tradition wedding always stand under the chuppah. The guests always in front of the chuppah like the multitude in Rev 7. These multitudes are the wedding guests and not the bride. The next is to welcome the Bride and the Groom by the blowing of the shofars. 6

Half an Hour silence Half an Hour silence Trumpet chapters are Chapter 8, 9 and 11, describe an ancient temple service This service is seen in heaven, on which earthly services were based. It begins on Friday morning and ends on Friday evening with the Erev Shabbat (Evening of the Sabbath) service. This particular Erev Shabbath occurs once a year on the eve of the Feast of Atonement In ancient times, each temple day would start at the rising of the sun with the opening of the temple gates. There are two services morning and evening. Sacrifices were brought to the priests at both services and incense would be taken inside the inner court and put on the hot coals on the golden altar. The coal came from the bronze altar. The incense would then burn up and produce thick smoke that would fill the area with a wonderful aroma 9

Daily Trumpet Blasts Daily Trumpet Blasts During the course of the day, seven separate trumpet blasts were deployed at the temple as follows:- One trumpet blast in the morning when the gates of the temple were opened. Three more trumpet blasts during the morning service. Hence four blasts in the morning. Three additional trumpet blasts during the evening service. The above correspond to four disasters affect the earth, the atmosphere, and the seas and springs of water while the last three are called woes and are very different from the first four. In all these judgments, God is calling the non-repentant to repent before He takes away their lives through judgment. We choose, life or death. The coals represent an outpouring of the judgment of God and signify cleansing. 10

The First & Second Trumpets The First & Second Trumpets The earth is struck. The word used for burned is seraph which means to burn, to consume especially via the burning of dead bodies. The word seraph implies heavenly fire ie a burning angel. The Seas are struck Could be a meteorite or some cosmic entity Flooding of seashores, causing tidal waves big enough to swamp our largest ships. Mountains could also represent nations or high places, false worship 11

Third & Fourth Trumpets Third & Fourth Trumpets The waters are stuck From Deuteronomy 29:18 and Proverbs 5:1-4, wormwood is connected to poison and death The Heavens are struck Isaiah 13:6-12 Many will still not repent but to curse God The three final trumpets are called woes which brings unsurpassed afflictions as precursor to God s final wrath upon mankind. The falling star is identified as Abaddon in Rev 9:11. He is given the key to the shaft of the abyss. 12

The Fifth Trumpet (First Woe) The Fifth Trumpet (First Woe) Rev 9:1-12 Identification of the angel of the abyss as Abaddon (Apollyon) Abaddon given the key to the abyss Where does this key (Rev 9:1) come from? When Jesus died on the cross, HE went down with the key to Gehenna (Hell) to set captives free. Until that moment Abaddon had the key. Jesus took the key from Abaddon. Abaddon was one of the two angels that rebelled against God and are the fallen angels. Abaddon was the angel of life before he felled. He became the angel of death and possessed the key to Hell. He has the power to lock people away after they die because of their sin. He was the angel of death who passed over Egypt and killed all the first born who did not have the blood covering. 13

Contd Cont d When Yeshua died on the cross, He defeated satan. In the spiritual realm (heaven) Michael defeated satan and satan lost his place in heaven and fell to earth Rev 12:7-9 Before Yeshua s triumph over sin, satan was still able to come before the throne of God as he did back in the book of Job. However, post-resurrection world, satan has been able only to function on earth and within its atmosphere. Rev 1:17-18 clearly stated that Yeshua after the cross possesses the keys of death and of Hades. For reason only known to God, Yeshua gave the key back to Abaddon so that in the future he would be able to unlock the abyss one last time to release the teraphim HE locked up back in Genesis. 14

Whos in the Abyss? Who s in the Abyss? Teraphim are the third and lowest form of angels and are able to take on human form. In Genesis 6:4, those Teraphim who rebelled against God came to earth and had sex with women who gave birth to the Nephilim The book of Enoch explains how these very same former angels were locked away in the abyss as punishment for their wickedness. Rev 9:3-11 Abaddon opened and released the locusts from the pit. The locusts are devils, not to confused with demons who are the offspring of Teraphim and mankind. Pain in Hebrew signifies birth or labor pain. The five month of pain could refer to the minimum five months for human fetus to be born. So this could also mean that the Teraphim could come and again have sex with mankind to breed the Nephilim one more BIG time. Daniel 2:43 talks about iron (fallen angels) and clay (mankind) mixing their seeds together. 15

The Woes The Woes The four earlier trumpets, God used nature to reflect His anger and bring punishment on the disobedient. The remaining three woes, God released Satan and his hordes and allowed Satan to play his own end game. Satan then began to create his own race of people and corrupting and deceiving the rest of mankind, just as he did in Genesis. They will be causing additional pain and suffering. The fifth trumpet (first woe) we were introduced to Abaddon who released thousands of Teraphim out from the Abyss. The Teraphim will make a covenant with Abaddon to attack God s chosen people. 16

The Sixth Trumpet (Second woe) The Sixth Trumpet (Second woe) Beginning the second seal and continuing until the sixth trumpet, God s holy temple in Jerusalem has been under construction. Now it is completed. God is saying here are my temples, the original in heaven and now the rebuilt copy on earth. No more excuse not to worship God. 17
