The Last Seal And Four Trumpets.
Revelation 8:1-13TPT
The turning point for every person under the sun is today, 2 Cor. 6:2. Not tomorrow.
Today is filled with grace, tomorrow’s not promised; Moreover, tomorrow could begin the 7 years of tribulation.
Yes, He could spilt the sky open graves and call living believers home. In a moment in a twinkling of an eye, the trumpet will sound!
Say yes to Jesus, and you say yes to grace.
Tomorrow could be the beginning of Egyptian bondage. Seven years of hardened hearts; Seven years of deception.
Men’s hearts will be hardened as they curse the God who offered them grace through His only Son Jesus.
During this transition, God’s love will be cursed as He does everything under the sun to try and get unbelievers attention. Revelation Chapters 6, 8-19, spell it out.
Now that’s tribulation.
Think about that, and then repent. Say yes to Jesus!
Revelation 8:1TPT When the Lamb broke open the seventh seal, heaven fell silent for about half an hour.
If you remember, Revelation 7, there was a break from the opening of the last seal in Revelation 6, because God needed to save and rescue, 144,000 thousand Israelites out of the tribulation.
“God still calls people out through His wonderful grace, so these folks won’t have to face Him in His judgement.” P.H
Here’s a fact—It’s not God’s will for mankind to go through the tribulation.
Listen to the words of Jesus for this present church age. John 3:16-17TPT For here is the way God loved the world—he gave his only, unique Son as a gift. So now everyone who believes in him will never perish but experience everlasting life. 17 “God did not send his Son into the world to judge and condemn the world, but to be its Savior and rescue it!
Yes, God through a rescue preserver out, and his name is Jesus! P.H
Again, Revelation 8:1b…the seventh seal is broken, and silence fell upon all of the heavens.
Remember, When the first seal was broken open, it released thunder, but when the seventh seal was opened, it released the silence of the awe of God.
Under the caption of the TPT, you will read these words: The period of silence is because of the enormity and revelation that will be released through the last seal, bringing fullness to God’s work. Silence also points to perfect peace.
Take note about Revelation 8:1, The opening of the seventh seal will bring heaven’s peace into the created realm. This Greek word taken from half and kairos, or a fixed, appointed time in the eternal realm.
Revelation 8:2TPT And then I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and each was given a trumpet.
A trumpet represents sounding out a specific and clear word from the Lord, bringing revelation to the hearts of his people.
What was one of the sentences used in the gospels, and from the book of Revelation on several occasions? “Those who have ears to hear let them hear what the spirit would have to say to them.”
Again notice, In the eternal Kairos, the heavens became silent. Why? Listen! Hear!
Remember in 1 Kings 19, when Elijah the prophet, felt as though he was the only man of God, or prophet, that hadn’t bowed the knee to evil?
1 Kings 19:11-13NKJV Then He said, “Go out, and stand on the mountain before the Lord.” And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake; 12 and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice.
13 So it was, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood in the entrance of the cave. Suddenly a voice came to him, and said, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”
God spoke this simple word to me, “In the silence, “I” can give you the question, or answer you need, to see you through!”
Revelation 8:3TPT Then the eighth angel with a golden incense burner came and took his place at the incense altar. He was given a great quantity of incense to offer up, consisting of the prayers of God’s holy people, upon the golden altar that is before the throne.
This eighth (or “another”) messenger taking his place at the golden altar is Jesus Christ, our Great High Priest, and the great quantity of incense is His intercession, which He mingles with ours.
Psalm 141:2NKJV Let my prayer be set before You as incense, The lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.
