DECEMBER 28, DAY 362. THE BIBLE IN 365 DAYS WITH TOYIN. COMMENTARY AND SUMMARY FROM THE BOOK OF REVELATION

TITLE: ANGELS CONTROLLING THE CLIMATE CHANGE

REVELATION 7^1-17

FOUR ANGELS SET TO CONTROL THE CLIMATE—They will control the wind and harm the earth (v.1).  A fifth angel appeared “having the seal of the living God.” v.2;  He stopped them from acting until he had put a seal on the foreheads of all who serve God—living good godly lives (of the tribe of Israel—now modern day believers).

144,000 were sealed (that number is symbolic) — (v.4-8)

A GREAT MULTITUDE —AND EVERY NATION, TRIBE, LANGUAGE—DRESSED IN WHITE ROBES WHITE PALMS in their hands worshipped in these words: “Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb.” v.10

ALL AROUND GOD: “All the angels, the 24 elders and 4 living creatures fell down on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, saying: AMEN! PRAISE AND GLORY AND WISDOM AND THANKS AND HONOR AND POWER AND STRENGTH BE TO GOD FOR EVER AND EVER. AMEN!” v.11-12

A DISCUSSION WITH JOHN — as one of the elders questioned him — if he knew those dressed in white and where they were from (v.13),

“John answered ‘Sir, you know.’” v.14

He told him they were those who have “washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.” v.14. Read more about them and how blessed and fortunate they are — v.15-17

• “They are before the throne of God and serve him day and night in his temple; and he who sits on the throne will shelter them with his presence.”v.15
• They are provided for, they enjoy their state of being, they will be comforted (v.16 ref: Isaiah 49:10, 25:8)

REVELATION 8^1-13

OUR PRAYERS ARE UPHELD IN AN ANGEL’S HAND, IN HEAVEN BEFORE GOD — the seven seal was opened.

“When he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them.“ v.1-2

The angel with the golden censer offered our prayers (v.3). And as he offered them they went up with smoke of the incense (Read more v.4-5)

7 TRUMPETS TO SOUND

“Then the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared to sound them” v.6

In today’s study chapters, six of the trumpets seven were sound; (Revelation 8:1-13, Revelation 9:1-21) each sound had devastating effect on the earth — on all that support existence—living.

In the midst of those were also three woes proclaimed which combined forces with the trumpets sounds. (Revelation 8:13) The 5th combined with a woe (9:1-12); the 6th combined with a woe too (9:13-21)

• Hell let loose, man was tormented but doors with the seal we’re untouched
• When the six trumpet sounded woes a third of mankind was killed (9:14-19). Yet the rest of mankind persisted in idolatry, magic, sexual immorality, and theft refusing repentance.

REVELATION 10^1-11

“Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven. He was robed in a cloud, with a rainbow above his head; his face was like the Sun, and his legs were like fiery pillars. He was holding a little scroll’ v.1-2a

—When he shouted, the voice of the seven  thunder spoke.” v.3. But what they spoke was sealed it was not written down.

After this, it was declared that all that the prophets had spoken would no more be delayed (v.5-7)

(v.9-10) John was instructed to “Go, and take the scroll that lies open in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land.“ v.8

He was given the little scroll and instructed to eat it —sweet to taste, sour in the stomach.

• Then he was instructed “you must prophesied again about many peoples, nations, languages, and kings.” v.11

NIGHT:

“For the lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd; he will lead them to springs of living water. And God will wipe away every tear from your eyes.” Revelation 7:17
