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 9

The Fifth Trumpet: The First Woe

"And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power" (Rev. 9:3).

came out of the smoke... locusts Greek: akris (Rev. 9:3, 9:7; Mat. 3:4; Mar. 1:6). Ordinary locusts were clean and the principal food of John the Baptist (Mat. 3:4; Lev. 11:22; Ecc. 12:5).

Eight proofs that they are not ordinary locusts:

1. They will eat no grass, vegetables, or trees, as ordinary locusts do (Rev. 9:4). Compare the 8th Egyptian plague of ordinary locusts that destroyed every green thing (Exo. 10:3-20).

2. They have a king (Rev. 9:11). Ordinary locusts do not (Pro. 30:27).

3. They are not stifled by the smoke, or burned by the fire of the abyss, as ordinary locusts would be (Rev. 9:2-11).

4. These creatures are now confined to the infernal regions being there because of their sins (Rev. 9:1-11; cp. Luke 8:28-31). No creature is confined to prison unless he has sinned. Ordinary locusts are not in the abyss.

5. They are spirit beings and therefore indestructible by mortal man. Otherwise, people would not fear them, as they do here (Rev. 9:5-6, 9:11). People can destroy ordinary locusts regardless of their number.

6. They are intelligent beings, capable of commands and following leadership (Rev. 9:4-6, 9:11).

7. They have power to torment people like scorpions (Rev. 9:3-10). Ordinary locusts do not have this power.

8. Their description proves them to be intelligent spirit beings, not ordinary locusts of the earth. They have:

(1) Bodies like horses (Rev. 9:7)

(2) Heads like human beings (Rev. 9:7)

(3) Crowns of gold (Rev. 9:7)

(4) Hair like women (Rev. 9:8)

(5) Teeth like lions (Rev. 9:8)

(6) Breastplates of iron (Rev. 9:9)

(7) Wings (Rev. 9:9)

(8) Tails and scorpion stings (Rev. 9:9)

These are literal beings, for every statement about them proves them to be real and capable of physical contact with man. They are objects of sight because people see them and flee. They make a thunderous noise as they fly (Rev. 9:9). They could not possibly be symbolic, for all symbols in Scripture are explained and made clear as to their meaning.

as the scorpions... scorpions Greek: skorpios (Rev. 9:5, 9:10; Luke 10:19;11:12).

“Scorpions”: An arachnid that inhabits warm, dry regions and has an erect tail tipped with a venomous stinger. A scorpion’s victim often rolls on the ground in agony, foams at the mouth, and grinds his teeth in pain. The demons in locust form are able to inflict the physical, and perhaps, spiritual, pain like the scorpion (verse 5).

The appearance of these locusts is both frightening and repulsive (verses 7-10), and they do not act in an unorganized way. In fact, John says, "They had as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit. This seems to be one of the plagues that God sends on the followers of Antichrist to hinder them from proselytizing among the uncommitted of the world. It may also give Tribulation saints some time to prepare themselves for the horrors of the soon to come Great Tribulation. If any religious activity is still going on at this time, there will be a flood of false doctrine and defaming of the Lord Jesus Christ. It would be a kind of religion of the flesh, (anything goes religion). It sounds very much like what is going on today in many churches.
