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.
The
Seventh Trumpet: The Third Woe
(Rev.
11:14-13:18)
We
give thee...
Six statements of the elders (Rev.
11:17-18):
1.
Thanks to God for using His power.
2.
The nations are angry.
3.
The time of God’s wrath is come (Rev. 6:17).
4.
The time to judge the dead (the saints, 1Cor. 3:11-15).
5.
The time to give rewards to saints (Mat. 16:27; 1Cor. 3:11-15).
6.
The time to destroy earth destroyers (Mat. 25:31-46; 2Th. 1:7-10).
Lord
God Almighty,... The coming of the kingdom is no longer future, it
will be immediate.
Thou
hast taken... We see here that Jesus took power. The establishing of
His kingdom brings final victory to the Christian. The thanks really
goes to Jesus here; the believers have not established the kingdom,
Jesus did. All we can do is to praise him for establishing the
Kingdom.
Thy great power... It was not done through our power and might, but by His (Lord-Supreme Authority, Divinity, Almighty-Omnipotent). You see from this, He is all of it. His power is beyond reproach.
And hast reigned... His reign is forever and ever. He has no beginning and no end. He alone is worthy of our praise.
After
this announcement, the 24 elders, who appear frequently (Rev. 4:4,
4:10; 5:5-6, 5:8, 5:11, 5:14; 7:11, 7:13; 11:16; 14:3; 19:4) and who
were seated on their thrones before God, were seen by John as falling
on their faces to worship God. Their song of praise indicates that
the time had come for God to judge the nations, to judge the dead,
and to reward God’s servants.
God
was described as the Almighty (pantokratōr;
also used in Rev. 1:8; 4:8; 15:3; 16:7, 16:14; 19:6, 19:15; 21:22),
eternal (who is and who was; cf. Rev. 1:8; 4:8), and possessing power
(dynamin)
(Rev. 11:17). In general their hymn of praise anticipates the second
coming of Christ and the establishment of His rule on earth. After
the statement of God becoming sovereign over the kingdoms of this
world, we have six sayings of the elders which are either fulfilled
under the seventh trumpet or given in anticipation of the time each
will be fulfilled, as the case may be. The first three statements are
fulfilled at this time, but those relevant to judging the dead,
giving reward to saints and destroying the earth-destroyers, will be
fulfilled in their own time. They all have a definite time of
fulfillment, but that time is not given here. We know that the dead
will be judged at the final judgment after the millennium, Rev.
20:4-6.
