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 Trumpets


(Parenthetical, Rev. 8:2-6)



"And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound" (Rev. 8:6).
the seven angels... We read here (as in verse 2), of the seven angels that had been waiting for orders to sound their trumpets.
seven trumpets... There is no ground for believing that they are contained in the 7th seal and that the 7 vials are contained in the 7th trumpet. On the contrary, the 7 seals are finished before John sees the 7 trumpets, and they in turn are all completed before he sees the 7 vials. The same will be true in their fulfillment. These facts also exclude the theory that some of the events continue in fulfillment while others are being fulfilled.
Prepared themselves... After the ministry of the angel at the golden altar (Rev. 8:3-5), the 7 trumpet angels prepare themselves to sound (Rev. 8:6). They take their turn at blowing their trumpets, proving successive events, as with the 7 seals.
to sound... Evidently in succession, perhaps by arranging themselves in the order in which they were to sound. The way is now prepared for the sounding of the trumpets, and for the fearful commotions and changes which would be indicated by that. The last seal is opened; heaven stands in suspense to know what is to be disclosed. The saints, filled with solicitude, have offered their prayers. The censer of coals has been cast to the earth, as if these judgments could be no longer stayed by prayer. And the angels prepare to sound the trumpets indicative of what is to occur.
And now to the literalness of the events of the trumpets, they are to be just as real as the description can make them, and as literal as the contents of the seals as seen in the previous chapters. Why should we spiritualize and explain away plain literal events? They are just as literal as the judgments predicted and fulfilled in the past history of Israel and show what will happen again, Ex. 34:10; Deut. 28:10, 59; 30:1-10; Isa. 11:15,16; Mic. 7:13-15; Jer. 23:7,8.The plagues of Egypt were literal. The same trying conditions will be upon Israel in the tribulation as those were in Egypt.
Five of the plagues of Egypt are repeated in the book of Revelation. No one suggests that what happened in Egypt was not literal in its form of judgment on the rebellious Egyptians. Thus, we can conclude that the same thing applies during the Tribulation period and that the trumpet judgments introduce physical judgment on the earth. The only exceptions are those trumpets that introduce events beyond human understanding, and even they affect human beings physically. Parenthetical explanation ends.
