Teaching on the 7 Seals

The Great Throne room of God

The Seven Seals of the Book of Revelation

Review-Revelation 5:1- And I saw in the right hand of Him who sat on the throne a scroll written inside and on the back, sealed with seven seals. 2 Then I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and to loose its seals?” 3 And no one in heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll, or to look at it.

4 So I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open and read the scroll, or to look at it. 5 But one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep. Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the scroll and to loose its seven seals.”

6 And I looked, and behold, in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as though it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent out into all the earth. 7 Then He came and took the scroll out of the right hand of Him who sat on the throne.

A look at the Great Throne room of God pictured above, God the Father sits on His Throne, the four living creatures, a strong Angel, the Elders, and the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, the Lamb of God.

The Prophet Daniel was told to seal the vision:

Daniel was told to seal up a vision by the Angel Gabriel in Daniel 8:26 “And the vision of the evenings and mornings, Which was told is true; Therefore, seal up the vision, For it refers to many days in the future.”

Again, in the book of Daniel 12:4-13: “But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.”5 Then I, Daniel, looked; and there stood two others, one on this riverbank and the other on that riverbank. 6 And one said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, “How long shall the fulfillment of these wonders be?”

7 Then I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand to heaven, and swore by Him who lives forever, that it shall be for a time, times, and half a time; and when the power of the holy people has been completely shattered, all these things shall be finished.

8 Although I heard, I did not understand. Then I said, “My lord, what shall be the end of these things?”

9 And he said, “Go your way, Daniel, for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. 10 Many shall be purified, made white, and refined, but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand, but the wise shall understand.

11 “And from the time that the daily sacrifice is taken away, and the abomination of desolation is set up, there shall be one thousand two hundred and ninety days. 12 Blessed is he who waits and comes to the one thousand three hundred and thirty-five days.

13 “But you, go your way till the end; for you shall rest, and will arise to your inheritance at the end of the days.”

Could it be the man clothed in white linen standing above the waters be a preincarnation of Jesus Christ?

Daniel 10:5-6 I lifted my eyes and looked, and behold, a certain man clothed in linen, whose waist was girded with gold of Uphaz! 6 His body was like beryl, his face like the appearance of lightning, his eyes like torches of fire, his arms, and feet like burnished bronze in color, and the sound of his words like the voice of a multitude.

Chuck Smith and Matthew Henry, believes that Jesus was the "man" clothed in linen standing above the water.

Therefore, it is Jesus who told Daniel that the words were sealed up till the time of the end.

Back to Revelation 6 it was Jesus who was the only one qualified to open the seals of the scroll. Could this be the same scroll Jesus told Daniel was sealed up till the time of the end?

The 4 horses of Revelation

Seals 1-4 are known as the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse,

Seal 1 Rev 6:1-2 White horse: I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, “Come!” 2 I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest.

The first horse is white and carries Conquest.

Jesus (the LAMB of GOD) opens the first of seven seals.

Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, “Come!”

It appears that the four living creatures each have a horse and rider that they each call out come and see or come.

The invitation to come can mean to come and see or come forth.

Greek parallel in English reads: And 1 watched when opened the Lamb one of the seven seals and I heard one of the four living creatures saying like a voice of thunder come!

Parallel verses:

New American Standard Bible
Then I saw when the Lamb broke one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying as with a voice of thunder, "Come."

King James Bible
And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.

Holman Christian Standard Bible
Then I saw the Lamb open one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures say with a voice like thunder, "Come!"

As I pondered on the Word, I imagined that the Living Creature was saying to the rider on the white horse to come forward and go out, almost like these four riders are being held back until their specific time of release (COME says one of the living creatures, then the second creatures, then the third, and last is the fourth living creature).

The Four Living Creatures of Ezekiel 1:1-25 Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, on the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the River Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God. 2 On the fifth day of the month, which was in the fifth year of King Jehoiachin’s captivity, 3 the word of the Lord came expressly to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the River Chebar; and the hand of the Lord was upon him there.

4 Then I looked, and behold, a whirlwind was coming out of the north, a great cloud with raging fire engulfing itself; and brightness was all around it and radiating out of its midst like the color of amber, out of the midst of the fire. 5 Also from within it came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: they had the likeness of a man. 6 Each one had four faces, and each one had four wings. 7 Their legs were straight, and the soles of their feet were like the soles of calves’ feet. They sparkled like the color of burnished bronze. 8 The hands of a man were under their wings on their four sides; and each of the four had faces and wings. 9 Their wings touched one another. The creatures did not turn when they went, but each one went straight forward.

10 As for the likeness of their faces, each had the face of a man; each of the four had the face of a lion on the right side, each of the four had the face of an ox on the left side, and each of the four had the face of an eagle. 11 Thus were their faces. Their wings stretched upward; two wings of each one touched one another, and two covered their bodies. 12 And each one went straight forward; they went wherever the spirit wanted to go, and they did not turn when they went.

13 As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, like the appearance of torches going back and forth among the living creatures. The fire was bright, and out of the fire went lightning. 14 And the living creatures ran back and forth, in appearance like a flash of lightning.

15 Now as I looked at the living creatures, behold, a wheel was on the earth beside each living creature with its four faces. 16 The appearance of the wheels and their workings was like the color of beryl, and all four had the same likeness. The appearance of their workings was, as it were, a wheel in the middle of a wheel. 17 When they moved, they went toward any one of four directions; they did not turn aside when they went. 18 As for their rims, they were so high they were awesome; and their rims were full of eyes, all around the four of them. 19 When the living creatures went, the wheels went beside them; and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up. 20 Wherever the spirit wanted to go, they went, because there the spirit went; and the wheels were lifted together with them, for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels. 21 When those went, these went; when those stood, these stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up together with them, for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.

22 The likeness of the firmament above the heads of the living creatures was like the color of an awesome crystal, stretched out over their heads. 23 And under the firmament their wings spread out straight, one toward another. Each one had two which covered one side, and each one had two which covered the other side of the body. 24 When they went, I heard the noise of their wings, like the noise of many waters, like the voice of the Almighty, a tumult like the noise of an army; and when they stood still, they let down their wings. 25 A voice came from above the firmament that was over their heads; whenever they stood, they let down their wings.

26 And above the firmament over their heads was the likeness of a throne, in appearance like a sapphire stone; on the likeness of the throne was a likeness with the appearance of a man high above it. 27 Also from the appearance of His waist and upward I saw, as it were, the color of amber with the appearance of fire all around within it; and from the appearance of His waist and downward I saw, as it were, the appearance of fire with brightness all around. 28 Like the appearance of a rainbow in a cloud on a rainy day, so was the appearance of the brightness all around it. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord.

I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and the rider was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest.

A white horse represents a battle victory, and it is the victor who rides this horse. Note: the white horse is not normally ridden in the battlefield as it would make the rider a target to the opposing army.

Some bible scholars believe that the rider is Jesus Christ (Matthew Henry) https://www.blueletterbible.org/Comm/mhc/Rev/Rev_006.cfm?a=1173001, however most bible scholars believe the rider is the anti-Christ (Chuck Smith) https://www.blueletterbible.org/Comm/smith_chuck/SermonNotes_Rev/Rev_19.cfm?a=1173001.

Anti-Christ can mean against Christ or instead of Christ.

The rider on this white horse rides In as a victor, the rider thinks he has the support of the nations of the world, this is the anti-Christ, he has been busy with the deception of world peace, and he is coming with power and signs and lying wonders.

This time in history can also be found in Matthew 24:4 Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many.

A word search of the Bible on the two words “white horse” was done and it was found that these two words together are found only two times in the Bible, first time is here in Revelation 6:2 and the second place was in Revelation 19:11-16 I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and wages war. 12 His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. 13 He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. 14 The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. 15 Coming out of his mouth is a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. “He will rule them with an iron scepter.” He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. 16 On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written:

king of kings and lord of lords.

This second white horse is the true Christ whose rider is called faithful and true, who’s name “king of kings and lord of lords” is written on His robe and thigh.

The false Christ/Rider held a bow. A bow: The definition of a bow is anything curved or bent, especially a device used for shooting arrows.

Rider was given a crown: we have three places in the Book of Revelation where a King is mentioned, first is in Revelation 9:11 They had as king over them the angel of the Abyss, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon and in Greek is Apollyon (that is, Destroyer).

The king over the Abyss, the Destroyer, this the rider on the white horse who is given a crown.

The next place a king is mentioned is in Revelation 15:3 They sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying:

“Great and marvelous are Your works,
Lord God Almighty!
Just and true are Your ways,
O King of the saints!

This is Jesus “the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.” He is our King; He is the King of the Saints.

And the last place where a king is mentioned is in Revelation 17:14 These will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with Him are called, chosen, and faithful.” There is a possibility that this rider who receives a crown might be one of the kings mentioned in Revelation 17:12-13 The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast. 13 These are of one mind, and they will give their power and authority to the beast.

Masquerading as the true Messiah, he wears a crown, while Jesus wears many crowns (Revelation 19:12). In the Greek translation, the crown worn by the rider of the white horse refers to the crown of victory worn by a conqueror.

The crowns Jesus wears in Revelation 19 refer to crowns of royalty (https://harvest.org/know-god-article/profile-of-the-antichrist/). He rode out to conquer and was bent on conquest. It is the beast that will be used to concur the world and the Saints of God: Rev 13:5-8 The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise its authority for forty-two months. 6 It opened its mouth to blaspheme God, and to slander his name and his dwelling place and those who live in heaven. 7 It was given power to wage war against God’s holy people and to conquer them. And it was given authority over every tribe, people, language, and nation. 8 All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast—all whose names have not been written in the Lamb’s book of life, the Lamb who was slain from the creation of the world.

Deuteronomy 4:25-31 But from there you will seek the Lord your God, and you will find Him if you search for Him with all your heart and all your soul. 30 When you are in distress and all these things have come upon you, in the latter days you will return to the Lord your God and listen to His voice. 31 For the Lord your God is a compassionate God; He will not fail you nor destroy you nor forget the covenant with your fathers which He swore to them.

Encouragement for the future!

This portion of Revelation (tribulation, wrath, and Judgement of God) can be a stressful read for some, but we as Born-Again Christians know that our Bridegroom is coming to take us (His Bride) to heaven.

The Rapture of the church, No one knows the hour or the day when Jesus will come for His Bride and take her to His Father’s house.

John 14:1-3 “Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me. 2 In My Father’s house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you. 3 If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also.

The Marriage And Marriage Supper Of The Lamb: great article supporting a pretribulation rapture: https://israelmyglory.org/article/the-marriage-and-marriage-supper-of-the-lamb-revelation-197-9/

1 Thessalonians 5:9-11 For God has not destined us for wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, 10 who died for us, so that whether we are awake or asleep, we will live together with Him. 11 Therefore encourage one another and build up one another, just as you also are doing.

Caught up (raptured)

1 Thessalonians 4:14-18 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus. 15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore comfort one another with these words.

Changed in the twinkling of an eye.

1 Corinthians 15:51-52 Behold, I tell you a mystery; we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed, 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.

Jesus rescues us from the wrath to come: 1 Thessalonians 1:10 and to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, that is Jesus, who rescues us from the wrath to come.

1 Thessalonians 5:9-11 For God has not destined us for wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, 10 who died for us, so that whether we are awake or asleep, we will live together with Him. 11 Therefore [h]encourage one another and build up one another, just as you also are doing.

Jesus Christ the God of comfort:
2 Corinthians 1:4 who is comforting us in all our tribulation, for our being able to comfort those in any tribulation through the comfort with which we are comforted ourselves by God.

Romans 5:9 Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him.

No fear my friends, God’s got this, you are in His hands!

Thank you my friends for the time you took to look through the teaching, Lord willing we will continue to teach through the Seals, Trumpets, and Vials/bowels.

Thank you and God bless you.

Seal 2 the Red Horse

Seal 2: Rev 6:3-4 When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come!” 4 Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make people kill each other. To him was given a large sword.

The second seal reveals a rider on a red horse, having the power to take peace from the earth.

The rider of the Red horse was given power to take peace, make people kill each other and was given a large sword.

Red horse: burning, fiery, fire, flaming, hot.

Power given to take peace from the earth: to take away a state of national tranquility, in this case take away (World Tranquility).

Jeremiah 12:12 The spoilers are come upon all high places through the wilderness: for the sword of the Lord shall devour from the one end of the land even to the other end of the land: no flesh shall have peace.

Ezekiel 7:25 Destruction cometh; and they shall seek peace, and there shall be none.

Matthew 24: 6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

Make people kill each other: to slay, slaughter, butcher, to put to death by violence.

Matthew 24:9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake. 10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.

With peace taken from the earth, there will be wars, hatred between family members, friends, and neighbors, people will be killing each other, nationalities will war against nationalities, kingdoms against kingdoms there will be no peace on earth.

Enoch LV 10 -11 They shall rise up to destroy each other; their right hand shall be strengthened nor shall a man acknowledge his friend or his brother 11. Nor the son his father and his mother; until the number of the dead bodies shall be completed, by their death and punishment. Neither shall this take place without cause.

He was given a large sword: big (literally or figuratively, in a very wide application): exceedingly, great, high, large, loud, mighty, sore (afraid), strong.

The sword is a weapon that can be a used to defend a person or property or can be used in offensive battles.

A good example of the sword used to protect property is when God used a flaming sword to keep Adam and Eve from re-entering the Garden of Eden to eat from the Tree of Life.

Geneses 3:22-24 And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever: 23 therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken. 24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubim’s, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.

In the book of Revelation, the sword is a tool for Jesus Christ for righteousness: Revelation 1:16, 2:12, 2:16, 19:15, and 19:21.

The sword used for wickedness we simple look ahead to the pale horse as there is no question as to what this great sword will be used for, this great sword will be used to kill close to 2,000,000,000 people, the current population of the world is 7.95 billion as of 2022 (https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/).

Revelation 6:8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

The rider of this red horse was given the power take peace from the earth (without peace, we have war), this rider makes war, and makes people kill each other (could this be civil wars). This rider is a demonically empowered to take peace and bring war to one fourth of the earth.

This ends the look at the second seal, but the anti-Christ and his demonic army has no power or authority unless it is given or granted by the LORD.

No fear my dear friends, God lives in you and walking with you each and every step of the way. If anything, this study of the Seals, Trumps and the Bowles should encourage us to go out and share the gospel to those who will perish without receiving Jesus as their Savior.

Seal 3, the Black horse

Seal 3: Rev 6:5-6 When He opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come and see.” So, I looked, and behold, a black horse, and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand. 6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, “A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not harm the oil and the wine.”

Black horse: The third horse is black and carries Famine.

The rider of the black horse carries a pair of scales in his hand.

Scales or balances: the beam of the balance (as connecting the scales): pair of balances, yoke.

“A quart of wheat for a denarius”

A quart equals 4 cups.

The famine in the last days will be so severe that a person will work a full eight hours of work for what equals 4 cups of wheat.

The value of a Denarius during the time John wrote the book of Revelation: A Roman silver coin in NT time. It took its name from it being equal to ten "asses", pence, penny(-worth). It was the principal silver coin of the Roman empire. From the parable of the laborers in the vineyard, it would seem that a denarius was then the ordinary pay for a day's wages.

Penny, during the first century A.D. was a time when one denarius or penny was approximately the amount of money workers were paid for a full day of work.

Denarius and Penny are of equal value which equals the wage for an eight hour days work.

Matthew 20:1-9 For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire laborer’s into his vineyard. 2 And when he had agreed with the laborer’s for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard. 3 And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace, 4 and said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way. 5 Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour and did likewise. 6 And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle? 7 They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive. 8 So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the laborer’s, and give them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first. 9 And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny. 10 But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and they likewise received every man a penny. 11 And when they had received it, they murmured against the goodman of the house, 12 saying, These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day. 13 But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny?

Wheat is the most consumed grain in the world. This is not surprising since it can be grown in many climates and used in a variety of highly palatable and nutritious ways. Here are examples of how different regions around the world use wheat in their cuisines:

Asia: noodles and breads
Europe: bread, cereals, pastries, pasta
India: bread (naan)
Middle East & North Africa: flat bread, couscous, matzah
Russia: bread
Australia: bread, cereals, pasta
Mexico & Central America: flour tortillas, breads and empanadas
United States & Canada: bread, cereals, pasta, crackers, cookies, pretzels and pies

TOP TEN LARGEST PRODUCERS OF WHEAT IN THE WORLD- COUNTRIES WITH MOST PRODUCTION

Three quarts of barley for a denarius

One quart equals four cups; therefore, three quarts is twelve cups.

Imagine working a full day only to receive twelve cups of barley.

Barley use: Barley is a member of the grass family, is a major cereal grain grown in temperate climates globally. Globally 70% of barley production is used as animal fodder (used specifically to feed domesticated livestock), while 30% as a source of fermentable material for beer and certain distilled beverages, and as a component of various foods. It is used in soups and stews, and in barley bread of various cultures. Barley grains are commonly made into malt in a traditional and ancient method of preparation.

In 2017, barley was ranked fourth among grains in quantity produced (149 million tons or 330 billion pounds) behind maize, rice and wheat.

Barley is the important cereal grain in the world and used in soups, bread, beverage, and various food products. over one hundred countries grow barley, the world production is around 134 tons estimated in 2011.

Russia is the largest producer of Barely, with a total output of sixteen million tons (2011 statistics). Ukraine is the world’s second-largest exporter of Barely. Barley mostly grown in Europe, Asia, and the Americas.

The conflict between Russia and Ukraine is putting pressure on the pricing and availability of fuel, wheat, and barley. Many of the people of the poor nations in the world are struggling to put food on the table.

As of March 2022, the cost of a 110-pound bag of wheat was twenty-eight dollars ($28), there are 333 cups of wheat per bag, each cup of wheat cost 8.4 cents, four cups of wheat cost 33.6 cents, the average working person living in Afghanistan earns one dollar and eighty-three cents ($1.83). As the cost of wheat goes up, you will see the difference between the 33.6 cents cost of four cups of wheat go up to $1.90 for the same four cups of wheat.

What will cause the cost of wheat and barley to come to a full day’s wages, will it be inflation and the lack of food in the poorest nations?

Luke 21:11 and great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.

The most common human cause of famine is warfare. In addition to destroying crops and food supplies, warfare disrupts the distribution of food through the strategic use of siege and blockade tactics and through the incidental destruction of transportation routes and vehicles.

Will it be the economic policies of the world powers that causes the inflation of food in the last days?

The fuel cost around the world is a major factor in the increase in food cost, everything we consume (except what you produce from your home garden) comes by way of airplane, ship, trains, or truck, which all use petroleum products.

Expensive energy radiates pain, contributing to high food prices, lowering standards of living and exposing millions to hunger. Steeper transportation costs increase the price of every item that is trucked, shipped or flown — whether it’s a shoe, cellphone, soccer ball or prescription drug.

Cost of fuel per gallon as of June 22, 2022 (https://www.globalpetrolprices.com/gasoline_prices/)

Below is a link to a video showing the complete collapse of Sri Lanka, this total collapse will continue to spread around the world as inflation totally destroys the economies of the world at large.

Do not harm the oil and the wine.

Greek Interlinear: Olive-oil and the wine, no you should not be injuring.

Olive oil uses, cooking, fuel for lamps, healing the sick, anointing the head and body at feast.

The context of this verse is the difficulty most people will have just trying to survive during the early days of Daniel’s 70th Week. It may be that the first part of Rev. 6:6 combines hyperinflation with food shortages, saying it will take everything people can earn in a day just to buy enough food for that day. If you are a single person, the wheat purchase would take care of your needs for the day, however if you have a family, you would purchase the barley as it would stretch further, but the oil and wine would be out of reach for the common worker, the Oil and wine will be luxuries beyond the reach of all but the very wealthy, who are generally not harmed by economic problems to the extent the average person is.

In closing up the study of this third seal (the black horse), we have the warning of the high cost of food, in so much that the workforce will work a full 8 hours for a quart (4 cups) of wheat, or three quarts (12 cups) of barley.

As we see from the articles and graphs above, the military action happening now between Ukraine and Russia is putting a great strain on the cost of food which use grain (wheat and barley), as noted above, Russia is the top exporter of barley and Ukraine is the next top producer of barley. Russia is the fourth largest producer of wheat in the world and Ukraine is number 7.

With the conflict between Russia and Ukraine having no end in site we can expect the inflationary prices of these two grains to continue to rise as the conflict continues.

Russia is the second top exporter of fuel in the world today.

Russia takes the second spot. In 2020, it accounted for 11.6% of global exports, totaling $74.4 billion.3

Production reached an annual average of 10.5 million barrels per day, produced by major names like Rosneft, Surgutneftegas, and Gazprom. This accounts for 11% of global oil production.5

The European market is highly reliant on Russian oil exports, as is the Russian oil industry on European imports. In 2020, 48% of oil exports went to Europe. And between 2011 and 2020, oil and natural gas made up about 43% of government revenue in Russia.7

With Russia being cut off of the SWIFT financial system they have gone to selling their gas and oil in gold or in the Ruble, Russia will not accept any payment in the US dollar, currently European nations are using gold or purchasing the Russian ruble to purchase oil and natural gas.

With many European nations supporting Ukraine in the conflict, I believe we will see Russia cut off oil and natural gas shipments to some or all of the EU nations supporting Ukraine.

The high cost of gas and diesel around the world is driving grain prices around the world. The USA was the top producer of oil and gas prior to January 20, 2021, however the new Biden government has closed down the pipelines and are not renewing oil leases on government owned properties. These actions have put the USA demand for fuel greater than the fuel production. As this continues it will cause the fuel cost to continue to rise putting the USA into a recession and perhaps a depression.

My friends the devil is working through the government leaders around the world to create an inflationary economy to force famines on the nations of the world.

The cost of fuel is causing the transportation industry to increase the pricing on everything it transports, which is everything.

Although the Russia and Ukraine conflict is not responsible for the original excessive cost of oil and gas in the USA, the conflict is adding to the high inflation rate in the USA and around the world.

Remember the second seal with the red horse was give power to take peace from the world, could this be a reason for the Russia and Ukraine conflict?

As you view the charts above, please take notice that the hardest hit countries with wheat, barley prices in the world are the poorest nations in the world.

If what we are seeing in the world around us is the beginning of the end times, nothing can stop this, we as Christians should love and share the things we have and show the world around us the love of God.

If God be for us, who can stand against us! be fearless in the way you live your life, stand up for the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Be bold, for our time here on earth is coming to a close, for the Bridegroom is coming for His Bride to take Her to His Fathers house.

COME LORD JESUS, COME.

The Fourth Seal the Pale Horse

The 4th Seal

Seal 4 Rev 6:7-8 When He opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, “Come and see.” 8 So I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And the name of him who sat on it was Death, and Hades followed with him. And [f]power was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, with hunger, with death, and by the beasts of the earth.

So, I looked, and behold, a pale horse (A Pale horse):

Pale described in Science ABC as: Pallor Mortis in which skin becomes pale. It develops 15 minutes after death and is the first postmortem sign of death caused due lack of circulation. Pallor Mortis: What Happens To The Body Immediately After Death? (scienceabc.com)

This horse is pale, because its release into the community of earth brings the pale color of the human body shortly after death. This horse brings death, and hades or hell. This is brought upon the human race as Judgement for rejecting the Gospel of Jesus Christ, It is for this reason that the people who die during this event will go straight to hell, not because of their deeds or what they did in the life, it is because they rejected Jesus and never received Him as their personal Lord and Savior. Jesus said you must be Born Again, He didn’t say you must be religious or go to a church, you must be Born Again by the Spirit of God.

John 3:3-6 Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”4 Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?”5 Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

Pale is the color the skin turns shortly after the last breath of life leaves. Pale is a proper description of the color of the horse when we understand what it brings.

Death -And the name of him who sat on it was named Death: Death was not part of God’s creation. Let’s look at the creation event- At the end of the sixth day of creation, God looked at His creation and said it was very good. Genesis 1:31 Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good. So, the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

Death came because Adam disobeyed the commandment of God: Genesis 2:16-17 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; 17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you[f] shall surely die.”

At that moment in time Adam and Eve began the process of physical death, and the Spiritual side of them died immediately (3 parts to man, Body, soul, and spirit), Adam and Eve were spiritually dead now because of their sin in the garden. From that point in time all of mankind were born spiritually dead, this is why we must be Born Again, it’s like resurrecting the spiritual man within us so we can again walk and talk with God as Adam did.

Romans 5:12 Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned. Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God

This rider named Death has come for judgement to all men who have not repented of their sin. Romans 5:18-19 Therefore, as through one man’s offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through one Man’s righteous act the free gift came to all men, resulting in justification of life. 19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man’s obedience many will be made righteous. We become righteous by receiving Jesus as Lord (master). Hebrews 9:27-28 And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment, 28 so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation. Christ paid our sin dept, we simply repent and accept His payment for our sin. This pale horse brings death, and hades follows close behind (eternal Judgement) who is riding just behind Death.

And Hades followed with him (Hades). Hell, the grave or the pit. Prior to the ascension of Jesus to heaven there were regions or compartments where the departed spirits would go, one compartment for the good (Abraham’s bosom) and another compartment for those who rejected God (called Hades). The story of the rich man and Lazarus describes these compartments the best: Matthew 16:19-31 “There was a certain rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and fared sumptuously every day. 20 But there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, full of sores, who was laid at his gate, 21 desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table. Moreover, the dogs came and licked his sores. 22 So it was that the beggar died and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died and was buried. 23 And being in torments in Hades, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 24 “Then he cried and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.’ 25 But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things; but now he is comforted and you are tormented. 26 And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, so that those who want to pass from here to you cannot, nor can those from there pass to us.’ 27 “Then he said, ‘I beg you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father’s house, 28 for I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, lest they also come to this place of torment.’ 29 Abraham said to him, ‘They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.’ 30 And he said, ‘No, father Abraham; but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.’ 31 But he said to him, ‘If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one rise from the dead.’

Today if a righteous person dies (one who is Born Again), they go to be with Jesus. 2 Corinthians 5:8 We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.

And power was given to them over a fourth of the earth: (Quarter of earth): 25% of the earth’s population, The current world population is 7.96 billion as of July 2022 according to the most recent United Nations estimates elaborated by World meter. The term "World Population" refers to the human population (the total number of humans currently living) of the world.

Power given to them to kill with sword (Kill with sword): a saber, a long and broad cutlass. A sword is an edged, bladed weapon intended for manual cutting or thrusting. Its blade, longer than a knife or dagger, is attached to a hilt and can be straight or curved. A thrusting sword tends to have a straighter blade with a pointed tip. A slashing sword is more likely to be curved and to have a sharpened cutting edge on one or both sides of the blade. Many swords are designed for both thrusting and slashing. The precise definition of a sword varies by historical epoch and geographic region. It takes a professionally trained solider to kill other people: Killing other people is Psychologically extremely hard for most people. Unless you have a particular mental disorder, human beings have a strong aversion to deliberate killing. That safety mechanism can be broken with training, and suppressed in the presence of strong emotion, but as a general rule, it’s very difficult to make the mind hold to the thought, “And now I shall kill this person.” Even professional executioners at the height of their profession in the early Renaissance found it extremely hard.

If this pale horse and the riders Death and hades were released today on 07/06/2022 they would kill 1,990,000,000 people. The current world population is 7.96 billion as of July 2022 according to the most recent United Nations estimates elaborated by World meter.

Kill with hunger (famine): extreme scarcity of food: "drought could result in famine throughout the region synonyms: scarcity of food · food shortages · deprivation · want

The Great Chinese Famine caused the death of 15-55 million Chinese. Link to many more famines through-out time: List of famines - Wikipedia What causes famine? A natural disaster, such as a prolonged period of drought, flooding, extreme cold, typhoons, insect infestations, or plant disease, combined with government decisions on how to respond to the disaster, can result in a famine.

Africa-The causes of famine The Horn of Africa's famine is not just down to the weather. The dominant causes are drought, high food costs, poverty and violent political instability, recognizable factors in almost any famine but more extreme here due to their severity.

Famines can be caused by natural disaster, drought, inflation (high food cost) and violent political instability (War).

With death (plague): plague, infectious disease caused by Yersinia pestis, a bacterium transmitted from rodents to humans by the bite of infected fleas. Plague was the cause of some of the most devastating epidemics in history. It was the disease behind the Black Death of the 14th century, when as much as one-third of Europe’s population died. Huge pandemics also arose in Asia in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, eventually spreading around the world and causing millions of deaths. Today, thanks to strict public health measures and modern antibiotics, plague no longer strikes great numbers of people, nor is it as deadly for those whom it strikes. Nevertheless, it still persists in some parts of the world where large populations of wild or domestic rodents harbor the fleas and occasionally pass them to humans.

Link to plagues: plague | Definition, Symptoms, & History | Britannica

And killed by the beasts of the earth: As we can see from the link on plagues above, most of the plagues are caused by flea bites, and the plagues are killing the rats their primary host, after the host dies, the fleas start looking for other host as a replacement, that could be a problem for all our furry friends in the animal kingdom, and if many beast in the animal kingdom are dying the larger beast in the animal kingdom are getting hungry. Hunger is the second reason an animal would attach and kill a human:

Article: Wildlife: Why do animals attack humans in the wild? The second reason an animal would kill is for food. Lions are pure predators (forget Simba - think Dexter), unlike us who are half predator. They are geniuses at killing. When you see lions lounging around gazing at antelope in the distance, they are not goofing off, they are constantly updating their knowledge of their prey's habits. So, when they lose their fear of man they will begin to test you. There was a sad case in a park where I once worked in Zimbabwe of a young British chap working for a fellow walking safari guide for his gap year. He left his tent slightly unzipped and was pulled out of it and killed by a lioness. In the lead up to this, several guides/rangers including myself, had close calls with lions walking right up to check us out. Normally they would let you know you were getting too close by growling, running away or even mock charging. However, walking casually up to you was not the usual MO. These lions had become so used to being approached on foot that they lost their fear of man and began to wonder if we were easy food and eventually tried. Link to the article above: Wildlife: Why do animals attack humans in the wild? - Quora

In closing out this fourth Seal, the pale horse we know the color pale is the color of a dead man, Pale properly represents the color of the horse in that the horse and its rider (Death) and his companion (hades) is all about killing off one quarter of the human race that’s 1,990,000,000 people as of 07/06/2022 by sword, by famine, by plague and by the wild beast of the earth. Not only is Death going to take life, but His companion who is close behind will take the dead to hades or hell.

I thank God that we have our bible to tell us things in advance so we can prepare. How does one prepare for something as hellish as this scene? By repenting of our sins, you say what sin, I’ve lived a good clean life. I thought the same thing, but when you realize that Jesus said that if you so much as look at a woman with desire in your heart, you have committed adultery in your heart, Jesus also said if you hate your brother without a cause, you have committed murder. My friends, sin is not in just our deeds, but is also Of your thoughts. Ok, now, can we agree that all of humanity are sinners, this includes you and I? OK, now let’s take that sin to the cross of Jesus Christ where it has already been paid.

Pray, Heavenly Father, I come to you as a sinner, please forgive me, and change my life, I know Jesus paid the price for my sin on the cross and I receive His payment now, I know Jesus died on the cross for the sins of the world but was raised from the dead and ascended into heaven and sits at your right side. Please change me, make me Born Again, so I too will be a bride of Jesus Christ, in Jesus’ name, Amen.

Fifth Seal

Jesus opens the 5th seal: Revelation 6:9-11 When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held. 10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?” 11 Then a white robe was given to each of them; and it was said to them that they should rest a little while longer, until both the number of their fellow servants and their brethren, who would be killed as they were, was completed.

Jesus is the only person who has lived on earth “Worthy” to open the seals. Rev 5 :4-7 So I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open and read the scroll, or to look at it. 5 But one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep. Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the scroll and to lose its seven seals.” 6 And I looked, and behold, in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as though it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent out into all the earth. 7 Then He came and took the scroll out of the right hand of Him who sat on the throne.

Under the alter: An Alter is a place that marks the place where you meet with God, and it can be a place where blood sacrifices are made.

The first sacrificial altar in the bible was built by Noah in Genesis 8:20-21 Then Noah built an altar to the LORD and took of every clean animal and of every clean bird and offered burnt offerings on the altar. 21 And the Lord smelled a soothing aroma. Then the Lord said in His heart, “I will never again curse the ground for man’s sake, although the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth; nor will I again destroy every living thing as I have done. Altars can also be a place where God meets or met with us. Example is when God met with Abram, he built an altar on that location: Genesis 12:7-9 Then the Lord appeared to Abram and said, “To your descendants I will give this land.” And there he built an altar to the Lord, who had appeared to him. 8 And he moved from there to the mountain east of Bethel, and he pitched his tent with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east; there he built an altar to the Lord and called on the name of the Lord. 9 So Abram journeyed, going on still toward the South. I love the way Abram moved to a new area and built an altar, in expectation that God would meet him at the altar. We too need to have altars in our life with an expectation that God will meet us there. Note that the altars we make are also sacrificial altars, as we offer our selves as living sacrifices unto Jesus. This altar in Heaven is an altar of sacrifice, as it is the believers in Christ Jesus who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held. This is the ultimate sacrifice; these brothers and sisters are brave and were faithful even in the face of death.

Slain for the word of God; John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Word: speech, a word, uttered by a living voice, embodies a conception or idea

John the author is taking the reader of the gospel all the way back to the beginning, before everything was created, Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The Word God used in Genesis 1:1 is defined as: Elohim, which has a plural meaning, gods, judges, magistrates, and so on. This supports our Christian Theology, God The Father, God the Son, and the Holy Spirit. John 1:2 He was (talking about the Word) in the beginning with God. God the Word was with God the Father in the beginning, before they created anything at all. Still talking about the Word of God in John 1:3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. It is the Word of God who is given credit as creating everything!

Now don’t miss this, John 1:14 And the Word (God) became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.

The Word of God became flesh, God came from Heaven and became a man, to become the final sacrifice for the sin of the world.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

Jesus is the only begotten Son of the Father; Jesus is the Word of God, The Creator who became flesh!

Ephesians 3:8-9 To me, who am less than the least of all the saints, this grace was given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ, 9 and to make all see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the ages has been hidden in God who created all things through Jesus Christ;

Slain for the Word of God, these are the tribulation saints who gave their life for Jesus Christ during the time of the seven years of tribulation.

Under the altar was the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God: mankind is made up as body, soul, and Spirit, we see this in 1 Thessalonians 5:23 Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

The “Soul”

Many people confuse the spirit and the soul. They are not the same. This is our division as a person. We are three in one just as God is “Father”, “Son” and “Holy Spirit”. We are spirit, soul, and body and our soul is our mind, will and emotions.

Slain for the testimony which they held: what one testifies, in an ethical sense, of testimony concerning one's character. These Christian souls were slain for their testimony, we all have testimonies of how we came to Jesus Christ, our personal testimony of how we came to Jesus Christ is a powerful tool that can open the eyes of the unsaved. When you explain the sins of your past, who you were and the things you did, then testify about how God has changed you, this could result in people desiring a similar change in their lives. If you don’t want to share your personal testimony you can share the testimony of the conversion of the Apostle Paul noted below: Acts 9:1-22 Then Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest 2 and asked letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, so that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.

3 As he journeyed he came near Damascus, and suddenly a light shone around him from heaven. 4 Then he fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?”

5 And he said, “Who are You, Lord?”

Then the Lord said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. It is hard for you to kick against the goads.”

6 So he, trembling and astonished, said, “Lord, what do You want me to do?”

Then the Lord said to him, “Arise and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.”

7 And the men who journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice but seeing no one. 8 Then Saul arose from the ground, and when his eyes were opened he saw no one. But they led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus. 9 And he was three days without sight, and neither ate nor drank.

Ananias Baptizes Saul

10 Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus named Ananias; and to him the Lord said in a vision, “Ananias.”

And he said, “Here I am, Lord.”

11 So the Lord said to him, “Arise and go to the street called Straight, and inquire at the house of Judas for one called Saul of Tarsus, for behold, he is praying. 12 And in a vision he has seen a man named Ananias coming in and putting his hand on him, so that he might receive his sight.”

13 Then Ananias answered, “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much harm he has done to Your saints in Jerusalem. 14 And here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call on Your name.”

15 But the Lord said to him, “Go, for he is a chosen vessel of Mine to bear My name before Gentiles, kings, and the children of Israel. 16 For I will show him how many things he must suffer for My name’s sake.”

17 And Ananias went his way and entered the house; and laying his hands on him he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you came, has sent me that you may receive your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.” 18 Immediately there fell from his eyes something like scales, and he received his sight at once; and he arose and was baptized.

19 So when he had received food, he was strengthened. Then Saul spent some days with the disciples at Damascus.

Saul Preaches Christ

20 Immediately he preached the Christ in the synagogues, that He is the Son of God.

21 Then all who heard were amazed, and said, “Is this not he who destroyed those who called on this name in Jerusalem, and has come here for that purpose, so that he might bring them bound to the chief priests?”

22 But Saul increased all the more in strength, and confounded the Jews who dwelt in Damascus, proving that this Jesus is the Christ.

Back to Seal 5 Revelation 6:9-11: They cried with a loud voice: These saints here would be at the end of their patience with all that was happening during the time of tribulation. Even now prior to the time of tribulation, we the bride of Christ look around at the events of the world and we too are at that point of crying out how much longer Lord. The Christians around the world are looking forward to the thousand-year reign of Jesus Christ and look forward to a world without sin.

These tribulation saints cry out: “How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?” How long: The time of judgement will be horrifying; these saints are not looking for Christ to Judge the world but looking for an end to the sin. Lord: master Holy, sacred (physically, pure, morally blameless, ceremonially, consecrated): (most) holy. True: that which has not only the name and resemblance, but the real nature corresponding to the name, in every respect corresponding to the idea signified by the name, real, true genuine. Jesus said “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life” no one comes to the Father except through me.

Then a white robe was given to each of them: white is the color of the garments of angels, and of those exalted to the splendor of the heavenly state. Our garments we wore on earth are stained with sin and cannot be worn in heaven; we will put on the Righteousness garment of Christ.

Isiah 61:10 I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, My soul shall be joyful in my God;
For He has clothed me with the garments of salvation,
He has covered me with the robe of righteousness,
As a bridegroom decks himself with ornaments,
And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.

It was said to them that they should rest a little while longer: It is only in Jesus Christ that we can find rest, The prophet Daniel was told to rest after his book was sealed. Daniel 12:13 “But you, go your way till the end; for you shall rest, and will arise to your inheritance at the end of the days”. What a great place to rest “in Heaven” safe in the arms of Jesus. So, like Daniel, these tribulation saints will arise to their inheritance.

Rest until both the number of their fellow servants and their brethren, who would be killed as they were, was completed. The point in time of the tribulation at this time is unknown, but the continued persecution of those in Christ Jesus continues, there are still more Christians to be slain for the word of God and their testimony in this tribulation.

Areas of persecution (top 2):

AFGHANISTAN: It is impossible to live openly as a Christian in Afghanistan. Leaving Islam is considered shameful, and Christian converts face dire consequences if their new faith is discovered. Either they have to flee the country, or they will be killed. This was true before the Taliban takeover: The situation has become even more dangerous for believers this year. The Taliban will make sure that Islamic rules and customs are implemented and kept. Christian converts don’t have any option but to obey them. If a Christian’s new faith is discovered, their family, clan or tribe has to save its honor by disowning the believer, or even killing them. This is widely considered to be justice. Alternatively, since leaving Islam is considered a sign of insanity, a Christian who has converted from Islam may be forcibly sent to a psychiatric hospital.

NORTH KOREA has been on the World Watch List for more than 20 years. That’s because any North Korean caught following Jesus is at immediate risk of imprisonment, brutal torture and death. North Korean believers are under so much pressure— and yet, the church is growing. Christian radio broadcasts make their way into the country via illegal radios, and small groups of Christians stand ready to preach the gospel if the country opens up.

USA is not on the list above

My friends, I live here in the United States of America, where there is very little persecution currently, however, as the world turns, with things like the Roe vs Wade decision being overturned, vaccination verses non vaccinated, 2020 election rigged or not rigged and transgender teaching in our schools and Christians being blamed for it all, these things may bring persecution to the USA.

Remember 1 Timothy 3:12 Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution. This is telling us that persecution awaits those who live Godly in Christ Jesus.

So, persecution is coming, but the grace of God will be in place that we may overcome, some may just suffer verbally, some may receive bodily harm, and some may be put to death. All of the Apostles of Jesus Christ died as martyrs except for the apostle John, he is the only apostle who died of natural causes. Even though John died of natural causes, history tells us that the Romans tried to kill John by boiling him in oil. See below:

It is said that Roman emperor Domitian commanded that the apostle John be boiled to death in oil, but John only continued to preach from within the pot. Another time, John was forced to drink poison, but, as promised in Mark 16:18, it did not hurt him. Thus John, the head of the church in Ephesus at the time, was banished to Patmos in A.D. 97.

John survived all of this because God had not finished with him yet. A “revelation” still had to come. While he was in a cave on the island of Patmos, John received a vision. This vision became the book of Revelation—the book that would act as the driving force for evangelism in the church age. It prophesied the events that surround the return of Christ. John wrote of Christ’s second coming and welcomed his arrival. Even today his writings inspire believers to anticipate the glorious return of Christ.

Two years after John’s exile, the emperor Domitian died, and John returned to the church in Ephesus. The youngest of the disciples lived also to be the oldest, dying in peace in Ephesus at the age of eighty after over half a century of resilient service to Jesus’ church.

In closing out the Fifth Seal, let us remember that all that is happening here on earth during this time is because it is fulfilling prophesy, God has proclaimed what will happen in the last days through his prophets and apostles. So, what we are seeing transpire in the world around us should come as no surprise, we can see that this is the season of time for these last days events to happen, we should even look forward to these events as we see the time approaching. My friends, it is time to preach the Word, share your testimony for time is running out for the lost.

Let us live our lives out fearlessly, knowing that God has everything in control, notice that everything the evil riders had, was given to them, the devil has no power or authority over us, we are children of the Most High God, the King of Kings, and Lord of Lords. He is the Creator of all things; He is the King over all kings and kingdoms of the earth.

We are the sons and daughters of the Lord, God, our Creator.

The Sixth Seal

Seal 6: Rev 6:12-17 I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood. 13 And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind. 14 Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place. 15 And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, 16 and said to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! 17 For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?”

I looked when He opened the sixth seal: Jesus is the only person who has lived on earth “Worthy” to open the seals. Rev 5 :4-7 So I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open and read the scroll, or to look at it. 5 But one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep. Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the scroll and to lose its seven seals.” 6 And I looked, and behold, in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as though it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent out into all the earth. 7 Then He came and took the scroll out of the right hand of Him who sat on the throne.

It is noteworthy to mention the earthquake that occurred at the time of death of Jesus Christ in Matthew 28:50-54 Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; 52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, 53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many. 54 Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.

Earthquakes are alarming and catch the attention of those who are in the vicinity of the quake, As we look at the earthquakes found in the New Testament we will see that God uses these earthquakes to capture the attention of man to make an announcement.

There was a great earthquake; and the Sun became black, perhaps God turns the Sun completely black or maybe it may appear to be black, to the viewer, as they look up towards the sun, the shy would be filled with thick dust which would appear black, similarly the moon appears to become a blood red. As you look towards a sunrise or sunset, it appears to be red skies. The moon and stars at night would not be seen due to the thick dust from the earthquake.

There was a great earthquake: The phrase Great Earthquake is first mentioned as Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to the sepulcher on the 3rd day, early in the morning.

Matthew 28:1-2 In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulcher. 2 And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.

The two Mary’s were on their way to roll away the stone, but they wondered amongst themselves, who would help to roll away the stone. It will be God who opens the Tomb using an angel of the Lord with a great earthquake to announce to the world, come and see, for Jesus the Christ has risen. People today still go to see the empty tomb, 2,000 years later. He is Risen!

The second time a Great earthquake was mentioned was in the book of Acts as Paul and Silas were thrown in prison for the preaching of the gospel. The two them were singing praises unto the Lord when a Great Earthquake happened. Acts 16:26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed.

The final three times earthquakes are mentioned in the bible will be judgement upon the nonbelieving world. Here in Revelation 6:12-17 was no different, the sun becomes black, the moon becomes like blood, the stars fall from heaven, the sky recedes, and every mountain and island were moved from there place. Normally earthquakes effect land and the sea, but this earthquake even effects items in the heavens. The event was not only to be felt physically, but also seen through the eye gate.

First we have the scripture in the opening of the sixth seal in Revelation 6: :12 And I beheld when he (Jesus) had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood.

We have here at the opening of the sixth seal the introduction of the wrath of God. Revelation 6:16-17 and said to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! 17 For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?”

It is very sad that the unsaved world refuses to come to the Lamb of God, yet later in the last days they will hide from the Lamb of God, these same people refuse to pray and ask Him for the forgiveness of their sins but will pray or cry out to the rocks and mountains, and say hide us from He who sits on the Throne and the Wrath of the Lamb.

Whether you believe in a Pre-Tribulation, Mid Tribulation, Post Tribulation or no rapture at all, this scene right here must cause you to think, where is the bride of Christ when this sixth seal is opened.

Nowhere to hide: And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains.

I love this scripture here: 1 Thessalonians 5:9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ.

Another earthquake. We read in Revelation 11:13 And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted and gave glory to the God of heaven. This great earthquake occurs after the Two Witnesses are resurrected (killed by beast that comes from the Abyss) and taken into Heaven. This great earthquake is similar to the quake in Matthew 28:1-2 where Jesus is resurrected, and a Great Earthquake is used to open the tomb by rolling away the stone to let people see that the Lord Jesus Christ has been risen and is no longer in the tomb. Both great earthquake accounts are related to resurrections, The first is the resurrection of Jesus, the second is the resurrection of the Two witnesses.

The next earthquake noted is when the seventh Trumpet sounds in Revelation 11:19 And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thundering’s, and an earthquake, and great hail. Oh, what a wonderful site that would be to see the Temple in Heaven.

And yet another earthquake: Revelation 16:17-18 And the seventh angel poured out his vial/bowl into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done. 18 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.

Back to Revelation 6: The stars of heaven fell to the earth: this could refer to meteorites, or in today’s world, it could be satellites falling to the earth. As of September 2021, there were 7,500 satellites orbiting the earth. Earth orbit (LEO): In total, there were around 7,500 satellites in LEO as of September 2021, according to the United Nations Outer Space Objects. Article link: https://www.livescience.com/how-many-satellites-orbit-earth

As a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind: whatever will fall from the sky, they will come rapidly and very fast, with high wind velocity these things will be very destructive, as we see in the continued reading of this sixth seal, people will hide in the rocks and mountains.

Every mountain and island were moved out of its place: This earthquake is so powerful it physically moves mountains and islands out of there place or position. On April 25th the Himalayas were shaken by a 7.8 magnitude quake, more than 8700 people died and the Nepalese capital Kathmandu and many villages in the mountainous country-side suffered catastrophic damage. The quake also triggered a huge avalanche on Mt. Everest, the world's highest mountain this the world’s highest mountain was moved 1.5 inches that day. Link https://seismo.berkeley.edu/blog/2015/06/16/the-quake-that-moved-mt-everest.html

Kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, 16 and said to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! This makes it clear, whether you are royalty, president, religious leader, free or slave, there is no place to hide from He who sits on the Throne and from the Wrath of the Lamb.

In closing my friends, it is important to note that this sixth seal brings in the Wrath of God and the Lamb. We have been warned, judgement is coming, it is up to each individual to know for certain that if you were to die today you would go to be with Jesus (to Heaven). Please don’t think that you will go to heaven because you go to church, or you give to a church, or been baptized. Jesus said: Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God (John 3:3). This is a spiritual birth from above, but you might say how can I be born again when I am old, this is the same question Nicodemus ask: John 3:4-6 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water (natural birth) and of the Spirit (born from the Spirit of God), he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

If you believe the gospel (the good news) with all your heart and confess with your lips you can be saved. Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

Here is the Gospel: Jesus’s death, burial, and resurrection.

Jesus’s death: Romans 5:8 But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.

Jesus’s burial: Matthew 27: 58-60 He went to Pilate and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered. 59 And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, 60 And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulcher and departed.

Jesus’s Resurrection: Matthew 28:5-6 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. 6 He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

So, if you believe with all your heart, that Jesus died for your sins (while you were yet sinning, Christ died for you) and you believe that Jesus was buried, and that He rose again you can be saved.

Pray something like this: Our Heavenly Father, I ask that you forgive me of all my sins, I know Your Son Jesus died for my sins, was buried and has risen from the dead, Lord change my life, make me Born Again, fill me and baptize me with your Holy Spirit, I give you my heart, soul, strength and mind, in Jesus name, Amen.

The 7th Seal

Seal 7: Rev 8:1-5 When He opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. 2 And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and to them were given seven trumpets. 3 Then another angel, having a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. 4 And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, ascended before God from the angel’s hand. 5 Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and threw it to the earth. And there were noises, thundering’s, lightnings, and an earthquake.

When He (Jesus) opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. Many commentators make a guess at why the silence for about 30 minutes, but we truly won’t know till we get to that point or God provides a fresh revelation on this point. My guess would be that all of Heaven is at awe at what is to come and are absolutely speechless at the judgements to come upon unrepentant mankind.

And I saw the seven angels who stand before God: Now, we know that the cherubim are about the throne of God. There are four of them. Satan used to be one of the cherubs. They seem to be the highest of God's created beings in an angelic form. The next highest are the archangels of which the Bible speaks of two. Michael, called the great prince, an archangel. Gabriel, when he announced himself to the father of John the Baptist, Zacharias, he said, "I am Gabriel who stands in the presence of God"..

There are seven angels that stand there in the presence of God, who are dispatched by God on particular missions.

The seven angels who stand before God or Watchers as Enoch calls them are noted in the Book of Enoch Chapter XX, page 80 & 81: https://book-ofenoch.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/book-of-enoch.pdf

"Uriel, Raphael, Raguel, Michael, Sariel, Gabriel and Remiel.

These are the names of the angels who watch.

Uriel, one of the holy angels, who presides over clamor and terror.
Raphael one of the holy angels, who presides over the spirits of men.
Raguel one of the holy angels, who inflicts punishment on the world and the luminaries
Michael one of the holy angels, who, presiding over human virtue, commands the nations.
Sarakiel is one of the holy angels, who presides over the spirits of the children of men that transgress
Remiel is one of the archangels of the Christian and Islamic traditions, the Hebrew name meaning "Mercy of God" or "Compassion of God"
Gabriel, one of the holy angels, who presides over Ikisa, over paradise, and over the cherubim. New webpage featuring the Book of Enoch: https://www.jesusontheweb.com/book-of-enoch

And to them were given seven trumpets: Sopar, a ram’s horn, mostly used in war.

Remember the story of the Walls of Jericho falling down, it was very clear that this was God who won the battle for Israel that day. Anyway this battle is the only place where we see Seven Trumpets noted in 4 different verses in the same chapter; Joshua 6:1-21 Now Jericho was straitly shut up because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in.

2 And the Lord said unto Joshua, See, I have given into thine hand Jericho, and the king thereof, and the mighty men of valor.

3 And ye shall compass the city, all ye men of war, and go round about the city once. Thus, shalt thou do six days.

4 And seven priests shall bear before the ark seven trumpets of rams' horns: and the seventh day ye shall compass the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets.

5 And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long blast with the ram's horn, and when ye hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall ascend up every man straight before him.

6 And Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said unto them, Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the Lord.

7 And he said unto the people, Pass on, and compass the city, and let him that is armed pass on before the ark of the Lord.

8 And it came to pass, when Joshua had spoken unto the people, that the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams' horns passed on before the LORD and blew with the trumpets: and the ark of the covenant of the Lord followed them.

9 And the armed men went before the priests that blew with the trumpets, and the rereward came after the ark, the priests going on, and blowing with the trumpets.

10 And Joshua had commanded the people, saying, Ye shall not shout, nor make any noise with your voice, neither shall any word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I bid you shout; then shall ye shout.

11 So the ark of the Lord compassed the city, going about it once: and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.

12 And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of the Lord.

13 And seven priests bearing seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the Lord went on continually and blew with the trumpets: and the armed men went before them; but the rereward came after the ark of the Lord, the priests going on, and blowing with the trumpets.

14 And the second day they compassed the city once, and returned into the camp: so, they did six days.

15 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they rose early about the dawning of the day and compassed the city after the same manner seven times: only on that day they compassed the city seven times.

16 And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priests blew with the trumpets, Joshua said unto the people, Shout; for the Lord hath given you the city.

17 And the city shall be accursed, even it, and all that are therein, to the Lord: only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all that are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.

18 And ye, in any wise keep yourselves from the accursed thing, lest ye make yourselves accursed, when ye take of the accursed thing, and make the camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it.

19 But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of brass and iron, are consecrated unto the Lord: they shall come into the treasury of the Lord.

20 So the people shouted when the priests blew with the trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.

21 And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword.

God’s battle Horns, these trumpets will sound and will bring swift judgement to all the unrepentant of the earth, this is God going to battle against sinful, unrepentant man who will be faced with the judgement of God.

Then another angel, having a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.

Golden censer: a utensil for fumigating or burning incense, an altar of incense. Incense: Psalms 141:2 May my prayer be set before you like incense; may the lifting up of my hands be like the evening sacrifice. Much incense for many prayers of the saints.

The only time the golden censer in noted other than here is in the book of Hebrews where is shows this censer golden censer is located in the Holy of Holies: Hebrews 9:3-4 And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all; 4 Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid roundabout with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant.

And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, ascended before God from the angel’s hand.

Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and threw it to the earth. And there were noises, thundering’s, lightnings, and an earthquake.

Fire is used in the bible many times to bring judgement to sinful man. An example of fire being used as judgement below:

God hears the cries of Sodom and upon Gomorrah: Genesis 18:20 And the Lord said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous.

God sends 2 Angeles to see if the sins are as bad as reported. As you read this event, take a look at the world we live in today, we have women sleeping with women, men with men, and both men and women sleeping with children, then we have those who don’t know whether they are a boy or a girl. God will judge the world for their sinful lust and desires, and they the unrepentant will face the fiery judgement of God.

Genesis 19:1-24 And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground.

2 And he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you, into your servant's house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go on your ways. And they said, Nay; but we will abide in the street all night.

3 And he pressed upon them greatly; and they turned in unto him and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread, and they did eat.

4 But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter:

5 And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came into thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.

6 And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him,

7 And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly.

8 Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof.

9 And they said, Stand back. And they said again, This one fellow came into sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal worse with thee, than with them. And they pressed sore upon the man, even Lot, and came near to break the door.

10 But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door.

11 And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied themselves to find the door.

12 And the men said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides? son in law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou hast in the city, bring them out of this place:

13 For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the Lord; and the Lord hath sent us to destroy it.

14 And Lot went out, and spoke unto his sons in law, which married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this place; for the Lord will destroy this city. But he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law.

15 And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city.

16 And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the Lord being merciful unto him: and they brought him forth and set him without the city.

17 And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.

18 And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my Lord:

19 Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shewed unto me in saving my life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil take me, and I die:

20 Behold now, this city is near to flee unto, and it is a little one: Oh, let me escape thither, (is it not a little one?) and my soul shall live.

21 And he said unto him, See, I have accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city, for the which thou hast spoken.

22 Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do anything till thou become thither. Therefore, the name of the city was called Zoar.

23 The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar.

24 Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven.

Revelation 11: 19 has a very similar verse stating: And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thundering’s, and an earthquake, and great hail.

And the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.

So, this last Seal “the 7th” introduces the Opening of the 7 Trumpets of God, judgements, in response to the unrepentance of mankind, God has tarried as long as He could, it is now time for the Judgement of God.

It is time for the closing statement, I will be using statement below for the balance of the messages, as it properly shares the Gospel of Jesus Christ and is able to bring men, women, and children to the knowledge of Jesus Christ. This is our calling in life, to bring as many to Jesus Christ as humanly possible.

In closing my friends, it is important to note that this seventh seal brings in the 7 Trumpet Judgements of God. The world has been warned, judgement is coming, it is up to each individual to know for certain that if you were to die today you would go to be with Jesus (to Heaven). Please don’t think that you will go to heaven because you go to church, or you give to a church, or been baptized.

Who can say that they have obeyed the 10 Commandments? Some say they have; how can that be if the bible proclaims “All have sinned and have fallen short of the Glory of God (Romans 3:23). Have you ever lied? Or stolen anything? Committed adultery? Some may say no. But Jesus said: Matthew 5:27-28 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: 28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looked on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

Most would say they have not murdered, but the bible says: 1 John 3:15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. Sin is not just the things we do in this body but is also the sins committed with our thoughts.

Below is how we are forgiven of all our sins. Jesus said: Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God (John 3:3). This is a spiritual birth from above, but you might say how can I be born again when I am old, this is the same question Nicodemus ask: John 3:4-6 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

If you believe the gospel (the good news) with all your heart and confess with your lips you can be saved. Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

Here is the Gospel: Jesus’s death, burial and resurrection.

Jesus’s death: Romans 5:8 But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.

Jesus’s burial: Matthew 27: 58-60 He went to Pilate and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered. 59 And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, 60 And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulcher and departed.

Jesus’s Resurrection: Matthew 28:5-6 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. 6 He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

So, if you believe with all your heart, that Jesus died for your sins (while you were yet sinning, Christ died for you) and you believe that Jesus was buried, and that He rose again you can be saved.

Pray something like this: Our Heavenly Father, I ask that you forgive me of all my sins, I know Your Son Jesus died for my sins, was buried and has risen from the dead, Lord change my life, make me Born Again, fill me and baptize me with your Holy Spirit, I give you my heart, soul, strength and mind, in Jesus’s name, Amen.
