REV 6: FIRST 6 SEALS OPENED.
REV 7: BRIEF PAUSE FOR YAHUSHA TO SEAL HIS 144,000 FOR PROTECTION (TO DO A SPECAL WORK).
REV 8: OPENING THE LAST (7th) SEAL.
A CERTAIN ORDER OF EVENTS IS BEING SHOWN HERE, THOUGH SOME VISIONS ARE HAPPENING AT THE SAME TIME. THE FIRST 4 SEALS (HORSEMEN/SPIRITS) ARE MAINLY INFLUENCING AN ALREADY EVIL HUMAN RACE TO CAUSE MOST OF THE GLOBAL CALAMITIES ...
( FUELED BY DEMON POWERS OF COURSE ).
BECAUSE OF MANKIND'S OWN UNRESTRAINED EVIL-NATURE, THERE IS INJUSTICE, CHAOS AND WARS AROUND THE WORLD THAT ALSO BRING ON FAMINE, PESTILENCE, PLAGUES, SICKNESS AND DEATH. BUT NONE OF THESE THINGS CAN BE LEGITIMATELY CATEGORISED AS YAHUSHA’S FOCUSSED WRATH YET (THOUGH HE’S CERTAINLY ALLOWING IT).
REV 8:1And when the Lamb opened the 7th Seal (7 = COMPLETE) there came to be silence in the Heaven for about half an hour (NOT A SPECIFIC MEASUREMENT - JUST REFERRING TO A SHORT TIME). 2And I saw the 7 Angels (who stand before the Throne), and they were given 7 Trumpets (RAM’S HORNS READY FOR BATTLE). 3Then another `Angel’ came and stood at the Altar, holding a Golden Censer, and stacks of incense was given to Him, so that He could offer it up with the Prayers of the Bride on the Golden Altar which was before the Throne. 4-5And the smoke from the incense, mixed with the Prayers of the Bride, went up before the Throne from the hand of this ‘Angel’ Who then took the Censer, filled it with fire from the Altar, and threw it onto the Earth. And there were great noises, thunders, lightnings and earthquakes (REMEMBER YAHUAH AT MT SINAI?) 6Then the 7 Angels who held the 7 Trumpets prepared themselves to sound!
IT’S IMPOSSIBLE TO READ THIS HEAVENLY SCENE AND NOT SEE THE SHADOWS OF THE TABERNACLE AND TEMPLE FURNITURE SHINING THROUGH IN JOHN’S LANGUAGE. SO IF WE WANT TO REALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT JOHN IS DESCRIBING, WE SHOULD ‘BRUSH UP’ ON THE TEXTS AND SHADOWS HE’S ALLUDING TO :
JUST AS AARON THE HIGH PRIEST ATTENDED TO ALL THE DIFFERENT ROOMS AND FURNITURE OF THE EARTHLY TABERNACLE, YAHUSHA MINISTERS TO HIS BRIDE THROUGH ALL THE ASPECTS OF THE HEAVENLY TABERNACLE/TEMPLE. AND HERE IN REV 8, YAHUSHA TAKES ALL THE PRAYERS OF THE BRIDE, MIXES THEM WITH THE PURIFYING DIVINE FIRE OF JUDGMENT AND HURLS THEM BACK TO THE EARTH IN AVENGING WRATH !
JUST AS THERE WAS 24/7 CONTINUAL REJOICING, PRAISE AND WORSHIP WHILE THE SACRIFICES WERE GOING ON IN SOLOMON’S TEMPLE, HERE IN THE DIVINE THRONE-ROOM THERE IS CONTINUAL SINGING AND PRAISING OF THE LAMB WHO SITS ON THE THRONE.
BUT THEN IT ALL STOPS! . . . AND THERE'S SILENCE!
ZECH 2 “BE SILENT ALL FLESH, FOR YAHUAH IS RAISED UP OUT OF HIS SET-APART DWELLING PLACE”.
HAB 2 “YAHUAH IS IN HIS SET-APART TEMPLE, SO LET ALL THE EARTH KEEP SILENT BEFORE HIM!”
THE PATTERN (SHADOW) OF SILENCE IN SCRIPTURE ALWAYS GOES HAND IN HAND WITH PRAYER AND `SEEKING YAHUAH’ RIGHT BEFORE HIS JUDGMENTS COME.
SILENCE IS ALSO SHADOWED IN THE TEMPLE AT THE TIME OF THE `INCENSE OFFERING' (LUKE 1). THE PEOPLE WERE STANDING IN THE OUTER COURT SILENTLY DURING A TIME OF PRAYER, WHILE ZECHARIAS (JOHN THE IMMERSER’S DAD - YAHUSHA’S UNCLE) STOOD AT THE ALTAR OF INCENSE (IN HIS ROLE AS PRIEST) BURNING INCENSE BEFORE YAHUAH.
FIRST CAME A SHORT PAUSE OF SILENCE, THEN THE 7 TRUMPETS WERE HANDED OUT TO THE 7 ANGELS.
JERICHO FALLING IS SURELY BEING ALLUDED TO HERE, FOR THERE WERE 7 PRIESTS WITH 7 TRUMPETS MARCHING AROUND THE CITY.
THEN THERE WERE 6 DAYS OF ABSOLUTE SILENCE, BEFORE THEY ALL MARCHED AROUND THE CITY 7 TIMES ON THE 7th DAY.
AND AFTER THE 7th LAP (AND THE 7th TRUMPET SOUNDED) THERE WAS A GREAT SHOUT OF VICTORY - AND THE WALLS OF JERICHO’S EVIL CITY COLLAPSED.
JOHN SEES OUR GREAT HIGH PRIEST YAHUSHA (NOT AN ANGEL) ATTENDING THE GOLDEN ALTAR OF INCENSE, WHICH TAKES US BACK TO THE SHADOW OF THE DAY OF ATONEMENT, WHERE COALS FROM THE DIVINE FIRE ON THE BRAZEN ALTER (THE PLACE OF BLOOD SACRIFICE) WERE MIXED WITH INCENSE (PRAYERS) BEFORE THE H.P WENT WITHIN THE VEIL TO ATONE FOR THE WHOLE NATION.
NOW THROUGH HIS DEATH AND RESURRECTION, YAHUSHA BRIDGED THE COMMUNICATION-GAP ONCE MORE, ALIGNING THE DIMENSION OF HEAVEN AND EARTH, ENABLING `PRAYERS’ TO BE HEARD - INFACT HE MIXES THEM WITH DIVINE-FIRE TO ENHANCE THEIR EFFECT !!
THE FIRES ON BOTH THESE ALTARS (+LAMPSTANDS) WERE NEVER TO GO OUT. BLOOD WAS SHED AND SPRINKLED, THE FIRE BURNED UP THE SACRIFICE, AND ONLY THEN COULD INCENSE BE BURNED. FIRST BLOOD, THEN INCENSE. LIKEWISE, EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE BEEN WASHED IN THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB, OUR FLESH MUST BE DAILY BURNT UP (PICK UP YOUR TORTURE-STAKE AND FOLLOW ME) IN ORDER FOR THERE TO BE ANY COMMUNICATION ‘OUR PRAYERS BEING HEARD AND RECEIVED’!
THE PRAYERS OF ALL YAHUSHA'S PEOPLE ARE BEING STORED UP FROM ALL THE AGES. IN REV.6 HE EVEN TOLD THE PEOPLE UNDER THE ALTAR TO WAIT A LITTLE LONGER UNTIL THE TIME OF AVENGING - AND NOW THAT TIME HAS COME!!
YAHUAH’S SECRET INCENSE RECIPE OF “5 PERFUMED SPICES” WERE ALL BEATEN VERY SMALL, MIXED AND PLACED IN THE DWELLING PLACE BEFORE YAHUAH. NO ONE DARED MAKE ANY IMITATION BLENDS OR BURN ANY `STRANGE (FAKE) FIRE’ FOR FEAR OF DEATH OR PLAGUES.
IT WAS THE FIRE THAT ACTIVATED THE PERFUMED SPICES, CREATING A SWEET FRAGRANCE TO ASCEND. SO JUST AS AARON OFFERED INCENSE ON BEHALF OF YISHARAL, YAHUSHA OUR GREAT HIGH PRIEST NOW OFFERS UP OUR PRAYERS IN THE HEAVENLY SANCTUARY.
SO THE OPENING OF THE 7th SEAL INVOLVES A TIME WHEN A HUGE INCREASE AND GREATER INTENSITY OF PRAYERS AND GROANINGS AND UTTERINGS (COMMUNICATION) WILL BE OFFERED UP TO YAHUSHA (CLEARLY BECAUSE OF WHAT'S ABOUT TO HAPPEN ON EARTH). THE BRIDE IS CALLED TO ENTER BOLDLY WITHIN THE VEIL IN HER BODILY TEMPLE, KNOWING THAT EVERY PRAYER OFFERED ACCORDING TO THE WILL OF YAHUSHA WILL BE ANSWERED. THIS DEEPENING OF RELATIONSHIP AND INTIMACY (COMMUNICATION) WILL BE NEEDED IN ORDER TO PERFORM THE SPECIAL TASKS YAHUSHA REQUIRES OF HIS BRIDE IN THE LAST DAYS.
THERE IS NO NEED OF PRAYER IN THE NEW HEAVENS AND EARTH, SO THE CONSUMMATION OF ALL PRAYERS (FROM ALL TIME) WILL BE ACCEPTED HERE AT THE END OF THE AGE.
THE GOLDEN CENSER COULD BE HELD UPRIGHT OR UPSIDE-DOWN, ACCORDING TO THE INTENT. HOLDING THE CENSER UPRIGHT WOULD CAUSE THE FIRE TO BURN THE SWEET FRAGRANCE OF SMOKE, MAKING IT RISE UP TO YAHUAH FOR BLESSING.
HOLDING THE CENSER UPSIDE-DOWN WOULD CAUSE THE DIVINE FIRE TO SHOOT THE SMOKE BACK DOWN INTO THE EARTH, IN ANSWER TO THE PRAYERS OF THE BRIDE, THROUGH JUDGMENTS AND PLAGUES.
YAHUSHA SAID “I COME TO SEND FIRE ON THE EARTH, AND WHAT IF IT’S ALREADY BEEN KINDLED?” (LK 12/MAL 4).
FIRE IS LIFE TO ONE AND DEATH TO ANOTHER, EVEN THOUGH IT’S THE SAME COALS! LIFE, BLESSING AND PURIFICATION? OR JUDGMENT AND DEATH? ASCENDING PRAYERS WILL BECOME DESCENDING JUDGMENTS. INCENSE IN HEAVEN WILL BECOME FIRE ON EARTH.
EZ 10 “FILL YOUR HANDS WITH THE COALS OF FIRE FROM BETWEEN THE CHERUBIM AND SCATTER THEM OVER THE WHOLE CITY”.
OUR ALAHIM YAHUSHA IS A CONSUMING FIRE AND HIS JUDGMENT STARTS AT THE ALTAR IN HIS TEMPLE (OUR BODIES) AND FROM THERE HE MOVES OUT INTO THE WORLD.
AS THE SEALED BRIDE WE HAVE THE AWESOME PRIVILEDGE OF OFFERING OURSELVES ONTO HIS ALTAR AS A WILLING SACRIFICE NOW BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE, SO THAT WE CAN HEAR YAHUSHA'S VOICE AND KNOW THAT OUR PRAYERS ARE NOT ONLY HEARD AND VALUED, BUT ANSWERED IN ALL HIS DIVINE WISDOM AND LOVING FAVOUR!
