My Sheep Hear My Voice

My Sheep Hear My Voice

Before Jesus was crucified He told the disciples to watch and pray, something so simple, but they let their physical bodies take over and they fell back asleep. In these last hours of time you need to hear His voice. When He tells you something, it is very important, but most ignore my voice or just discuss it and go on with what they were doing. You will see many things start to happen shortly and if you do not hear and obey His voice,... it will mean death for some of you....Jesus has only your best interest in mind. Christ knows you heart, and if you are truly His you will hear His voice. He awakes many of you at 3am on the dot, but most will roll over and go back to sleep. There are a few who will get up and pray. Your day is filled with so many things and Jesus is the last thing many of you give your time to. But Christ needs to talk to you,... to fellowship with you and only when you are still and quite (3am) can you hear Him,... the rest of your day is so busy you do not have time for Him,... but you need to make time, for time is short and the Lord has instructions for you.

Revelation Chapter 7

The Two Companies of Redeemed

(Parenthetical, Rev. 7:1-17)

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

Hurt not the earth... These plagues of the earth will be revealed in the next chapter, see Rev_8:7-11.

servants of God... The 144,000 Jews are not servants when the rapture takes place in Rev. 4:1, for all in Christ at that time will be translated (1Th. 4:16; 1Co. 15:23). They will be saved after the rapture in the revival predicted in Act. 2:16-21. They are to be saved and become servants of God by the time they are sealed. This is why they have God’s name written on them (Rev. 7:3; 14:1).

Proof the mark is literal:

1. This is plainly stated in Rev. 7:3; 14:1.

2. It is visible, for direction is given to the first 4 trumpet judgment angels not to execute their judgments until they are sealed in the foreheads (Rev. 7:3; 8:7-12).

3. Special direction is given to the 5th and 6th judgment angels not to hurt the 144,000 (Rev. 9:4).

4. The mark of the beast is literal (Rev. 13:16-18; 14:9; 20:4), so this must be as well (Rev. 14:1).

5. It is the name of God in the forehead (Rev. 7:3; 14:1).

6. Literal names will be branded on the overcomers (Rev. 3:12; 22:4), and this indicates that the name of God on the 144,000 will also be literal (Rev. 14:1).

The seal on their foreheads symbolizes protection and ownership and God’s intention to protect the 12 tribes that are mentioned, much as He protected Noah from the Flood, Israel from the plagues of Egypt, and Rahab and her household in Jericho.

It was common in John's day for masters to seal or brand their slaves on the forehead or the hand to declare ownership. This mark also granted them protection for those who would steal or misuse them. In future days, when the seal of the Antichrist signifies death or life, Satan will have marked his followers, but God's witnesses will be sealed as well, with the name of the Father "in their foreheads".
