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 10

This passage (Rev. 10:1-11:13) is the fourth parenthetical passage in the book and explains certain things which are not the contents of the trumpets or vials, but which are fulfilled in conjunction with them, as is clear from the passage itself. Chapter 10:1-11 is a vision of the “mighty angel,” chapter 11:1-2 a vision of the temple and the Holy City, and 11:3-13 a vision of the two witnesses. This fourth parenthetical passage breaks the main vision of the trumpets and is inserted between the sixth and seventh trumpets just as the first parenthetical passage is inserted between the sixth and the seventh seals. This alone is proof that it is parenthetical. As to the fulfillment of the events of this passage that is clear, chapter 10:1-11, like the first part (Rev. 7:1-8) of the first parenthetical passage, will be fulfilled in the order in which it is given. The last part of this parenthetical passage (Rev. 11:1-13) concerning the two witnesses, will be fulfilled from the middle of the Week onward like the last part of the first parenthetical passage (Rev. 7:9-17), as is clear from both passages. Thus, the parenthetical passages are inserted in their proper places and will be fulfilled in the order as given, except for a few passages, which are always clear as to their time of fulfillment. It is only natural to understand that they are to be fulfilled in the order of events in which they are inserted unless it is stated otherwise.

The Angel and the Little Scroll

This mighty angel is no doubt, Christ, who will come down from heaven with the little book open having taken it from the right hand of God the Father in Rev. 5 and having opened the seven seals in Rev. 6:1-8:1. He is now ready to reveal the contents of the things “written within.” The word “another” shows that this angel is not one of the trumpet angels, as is supposed by some. Not only the description of the angel proves him to be Christ, but in 11:13 He speaks of the two witnesses as being “my two witnesses.” Such could not be written of a common angel. About 150 times in the Bible God is mentioned in connection with clouds. In Rev. 10:1; 14:14-16 it is the Son of man who is mentioned with clouds. Never in the Bible are common angels mentioned with clouds. The “rainbow” is never used in the Bible apart from God, so this angel here must be the Son of God. This angel cries “as when a lion roareth” which connects him with “the Lion of the tribe of Judah,” Rev. 5:5. Such passages as Isa. 31:4-5; Jer. 25:29-36; Hos. 11:10-11; Joel 3:16; Amos 3:8 speak of the Lord roaring in wrath as a lion in the Day of the Lord. Then too, Christ is the only person with the same authority exhibited by this angel.

"And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow [was] upon his head, and his face [was] as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:" (Rev. 10:1).

I saw another... Rev. 10:1-11:14 again is the 4th parenthetical passage in the book. It explains certain events which are not the contents of the seals, trumpets, or vials, but which happen along with the main events of this period. It breaks the main vision of the trumpets and is inserted between the 6th and 7th trumpets, as the first parenthetical passage is inserted between the 6th and 7th seals (Rev. 7:1-17).

It is made up of 4 parts:

1. Rev. 10:1-11, the reception of the revelation of the things written within the 7 sealed book (Rev. 5:5-7; Rev. 6:1-8:1)

2. Rev. 11:1-2, the vision of the capture of Jerusalem by Antichrist (Dan. 11:40-45; 2Th. 2:3-4)

3. Rev. 11:3-12, the ministry of the two witnesses who will oppose Antichrist the last 3 1/2 years of Daniel’s 70th week

4. Rev. 11:13-14, the great earthquake which takes place at the ascension of the two witnesses—the same as the great earthquake under the 7th vial at the end of Daniel’s 70th week (Rev. 16:17-21)

Again, all the parenthetical passages are inserted in their proper place of fulfillment unless it is clear otherwise that they are not to be fulfilled in the place where they are revealed. All facts of fulfillment are always clear in the passages themselves so that no confusion need arise.

mighty angel come... All angels are mighty in power, but some are more powerful than others in authority if not in physical strength (Rev. 18:1; 2Th. 1:7; Jude 1:9).

This Angel Is Christ:

1. The description of Him in Rev. 10:1 proves He is Christ (cp. Rev. 1:12-16; Dan. 10:5-6).

2. The book open in His hand proves it. In Rev. 5:5-7 Christ takes the sealed book out of the right hand of God. In Rev. 6:1-8:1 He breaks the seals that bind it. Here the same little book is open so that the contents of the things written within might be revealed (Rev. 10:2, 10:8-11).

3. Christ is the one giving John this Revelation (Rev. 1:1; 10:4, 10:8-11).

4. His voice as a lion roaring (Rev. 10:3) identifies Him with the lion of Judah (Rev. 5:5; cp. Isa. 31:4-5; Jer. 25:29-36; Hos. 11:10-11; Joel 3:16; Amos 3:8). In these passages the Lord is spoken of as a lion roaring in the day of the Lord.

5. The swearing of the angel (Rev. 10:6) proves Him to be a divine person, for not one time in Scripture does an ordinary angel make an oath to God or man. In 50 scriptures it is stated that God swore or made oaths. In 31 other passages man swears to God and man (cp. Dan. 12:7).

6. Christ directs John concerning what to write and not to write (cp. Rev. 1:11, 1:19; 2:1, 2:8, 2:12, 2:18; 3:1, 3:7, 3:12, 3:14; 10:4; 14:13-14; 19:9; 21:5).

7. In Rev. 11:3 we have definite proof that the angel is Christ, for He says, I will give power unto My two witnesses. This proves Him to be a divine person.

In this, we must remember that John is seeing in a vision from God and directed by Him. God appears sometimes in visions and dreams in some other way than His Godhead. Being "clothed in a cloud", shows the royalty of this being.
A "rainbow ... upon his head" reminds us of the covenant of God with man. This covenant has been fulfilled through Jesus. Perhaps God included this to remind John, that even in judgment, He will always remember His Noahic Covenant and protect His own.
“Feet as pillars of fire”: This angel’s feet and legs indicate the firm resolve with which he will execute the Day of the Lord.

The cloud, the rainbow, the sun, and the pillars of fire all refer to deity.
