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 8
The
Seven Trumpet Angels and the Priestly Angel
(Parenthetical,
Rev. 8:2-6)
Revelation 8:2 "And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets."
And I saw the... this is the 2nd parenthetical passage and explain events in heaven between the 7th seal and the first trumpet. They are preparatory to the blowing of the 7 trumpets which complete the first 3 1/2 years of Daniel’s 70th week (Rev. 11:15).
and to them... By whom the trumpets were given is not stated, but perhaps it was one of the elders as was the case of the vials in Rev. 15:7. The 7 trumpets are to be blown successively between the seals and vials. The first will be blown after the 7th seal and the last in the middle of the week (Rev. 11:15).
An apocryphal book called Enoch (chapter twenty) gives the names of six archangels: Uriel, Raphael, Raguel, Michael, Sarakiel and Gabriel and in Chapter Fifty-four gives another, named Phanuel. In another apocryphal book, Tobiah, 12:15, Raphael is mentioned as being one of the seven angels who present prayers of saints before God. Whether these things be true or not, we do know that those seen by John are trusted angels. Whether of an official or higher order than common angels is not stated here. The seven trumpets which will be blown by seven angels in the order as given by God and after the seven seals and before the seven vials. When each is blown, certain judgments and events will transpire on earth. They are to blown successively, and each after the preceding one has been completed. The first will be blown soon after the seventh seal and the last one in the middle of the Week. Thus we have the seven seals and seven trumpets as fourteen consecutive events from the beginning to the middle of the Week.
“Seven trumpets”: The trumpets are of greater intensity than the seals, but not as destructive as the final vial or bowl judgments will be (compare 16:1-21). They the vials occur during the final 3-1/2 years, but the time of each is indefinite, except the effects of the fifth trumpet judgment, which will last 5 months (9:10). The first 4 announce the divine destruction of earth’s ecology (verses 6-12), while the final 3 involve demonic devastation of earth’s inhabitants (9:1-21; 11:15).
These "angels" are prepared to carry out God's orders. These "seven trumpets" were to sound the alarm. Trumpets are loud and send out a clear note. There will be no question of the message. The trumpet throughout the Bible is used for two specific purposes:
1:
To assemble the people for worship.
2:
To assemble the people for war. At any rate, this is to alarm and
prepare.
This encourages
the Christians and means judgment to the apostate and worldly. The
Wrath of God is here.In the first period of the Tribulation the earth has known the wrath of the Antichrist; now it will begin to feel the wrath of God Almighty.
