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 8

The Seven Trumpet Angels and the Priestly Angel

(Parenthetical, Rev. 8:2-6)

"And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer [it] with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne" (Rev. 8:3).

And another angel came... Following the vision of the seven angels and their reception of the seven trumpets “another” angel came to the golden alter to minister, as clearly stated in the above quotation, which with Heb. 4:14-16; 6:20-7:28; 13:15 seems to indicate that this angel is Christ in His present ministry as our High Priest.
having a golden... The “censer” is always mentioned in connection with the High Priest, Lev. 16:12; Heb. 9:4.
that he should... This angel offers up prayers of the saints as do the living creatures and elders in Rev. 5:8-10, which shows that those who offer prayers of saints are not necessarily all redeemed.
upon the golden... After this ministry of Christ at the alter, the seven angels prepare to sound. They take their turn in blowing their trumpets which further shows that they are not a part of the seals or contained in them.
“Golden censer”: A golden pan, suspended on a rope or chain, that was used to transport fiery coals from the brazen altar to the altar of incense, in order to ignite the incense, symbolizing the prayers of the people (Rev. 5:8; Exodus 27:3; Luke 1:8-9). This occurred twice daily at the time of the morning and evening sacrifices.
Verse 3 tells us this mighty angel stands before the heavenly golden altar of incense, which is before the Throne of the Almighty God. The prayers of all the believers are mingled with heavenly incense and offered up to God. These prayers contain the martyrs' and the suffering saints' cries for relief and justice. The answer to these prayers is the Seven Trumpets and then the Seven Golden Vials in their respective order in events as God has established.
We must realize that the tabernacle in the wilderness (with its Holy place and most Holy Place), was a miniature of the arrangement in heaven. The altar constructed by Moses for Israel's Tabernacle was copied from this one.
When Jesus died on the cross, His blood had to be carried to the mercy seat in heaven, just as the lamb in the temple had its blood sprinkled on the mercy seat in the most Holy place.
The very throne of God is the most holy place in heaven. Jesus is our High Priest forever, who intercedes for us at the throne of God.
This vessel had to be made of gold to be in the close proximity of God. Just as everything in the most Holy place in the Tabernacle in the Wilderness had to be pure gold, or pure gold overlay.
Some of the writers believe the word "censer" here should be frankincense. That is not a terribly important point. The "incense" (in verse 3), probably does indicate frankincense.
Notice that the prayers of the saints with their offering is upon the golden altar at the throne of God. Sometimes we feel our prayers go nowhere, but here we see them at the throne of God.
We were not praying to the angel, and never should as we will see in many messages in Revelation scriptures. The angel's only job was to transport them and keep them safe until they were received. We pray to the Father in the name of Jesus. We must never pray to an angel to a person or an image.

The important thing, to see here, is that our prayers go to the throne of God, to the most Holy place.
