Vesta Layne Mangun ~ Week V "The Book of Revelation"

so honored so humbled so honored we begin holding this up five weeks ago this is India and what I don't do tonight pastor has promised me what leadership we have to even lead us into oh I'm sorry I don't know that I stand here like this like this does that work - well holler at me it won't scare me if I'm not in it but I'm thanking God for our leadership this is amazing to me it's amazing and you'd think this house would be full but they are watching and that's good but let me just tell you I love to go to the house of God I'm not looking for an excuse to miss I love it I'm going to his house and come and go with me it's going to be wonderful what a message this morning what a message you can't get your mind wrapped around that that's gonna happen that's gonna happen and pastor not only did God you Cyrus to tell just one time and moved on a team to tax the whole nation but when he brought his people out of Babylon and Daniel fasted and prayed and set his face he was getting them back to the land so the Messiah could be born it's all about him everything you pray and fast about if it involves your family it has to do with eternity and all about God's plan and God have ever been of it it's all about him this service tonight is all about him so I've got to get going you know what Anthony I rode up there's about seven pieces there brother Mangum that the book of Revelation was like a scroll well then the when when you get to those need to say that there's a brief time every one of these is a scroll there was a scroll for and then you'll understand that when I get into it but I just thought I'd lay that out there and let you know when we leave here in the fourth chapter if it's a scroll you don't come back and reroll the scroll you move on so the revelation of Jesus Christ was given to John the Beloved the man whom he called the man I love how would you like that title he was Jesus stethoscope he leaned on his breast he heard his heartbeat he knew the rhythm of his heart and the purpose of their 66th book is to document the mood the new ministry that he's about to move into he's been a lamb for almost or more than 2,000 years were rubbing 2017 he's been a lamb he's been a merciful long-suffering patient God but after that fourth chapter in the revelation that Lamb nature is laid down and that land of the tribe of Judah nature he takes on I just want you to get that revelation is not mystical it's a revelation once you see and brother Marshall asked me and brother Marshall by the help and grace of God I'm gonna weave that in he says what are we going to be doing all that time with the marriage supper of the lamb and and so you'll get this I'm gonna get on this I've got to but if I'm if I'm given unlimited time just wake up and take your pill and their will and we'll make it Marja for three or four times when you get to that fourth chapter I'm fixing to get there when you get to that fourth chapter after that and those 24 there they're sitting on that throne and and and those for worship leaders and those for that he used if he uses them even during the thousand years millennial rule and reign we got a lot of good stuff I had for this church I mean the D Church the universal Church the church his bride uh at least four times were they after that fourth chapter were singing it's great song just reading I'm if I have time I'm going to read you they the whole thing while we're going through all of that and then all this hell has broken loose on this earth that the fourth chapter got us out on that's the revelation if you don't understand the horses that you don't understand the seals are the trumpets or all of that just know we're already there and if the marriage supper of the Lamb we're going to be singing and praising God and then when they see all of this they bow down 24 of them representing the old and the new testament and they're bowing down before him and I want to get to some event but the theme of this book is the Lord our God Almighty reigns and the key verses are the key words his throne the lamb is mentioned 28 times say the lamb the cross 28 times and then overcomer overcomer you got to come you got to have something to overcome to be an overcomer so come on and go with and come on over everything so that you can be at that marriage supper of the Lamb four times the author the pennmen refers to himself as John he was so well known oh and his spiritual authority was so widely acknowledged that he did not need to establish his credentials this man could have been bitter it was his brother that only James that the both of them had a well-to-do father Zebedee and they left their father with all those nets floating on that water and followed Jesus and James had just followed him 17 years when he when he was martyred he was the first apostle martyr not the first church martyr that was Stephen but he was the fur Apostle Marta just had 17 years with the Lord John could have been bitter about that Peter got released John could have been bitter they tried to brainwash him put him in a pot of boiling oil now he winds up on Patmos and it's andaman at Patmos we wouldn't have the revelation so whatever you're going through if you'll get a revelation something great is going to come out of that something great is going to come out of that you're blessed if you just read that book I don't care how much daily practical things that you're taught this gives you an incentive to live the practical stuff that you're taught now many people speak of this book is a book of mysteries that is what it is not another title given to their 66th book the inspiring in infallible concluding book is the eternal Word of God one of the names is the apocalypse which means the great preview which is derived from two words two Greek words airpo which means to take away Calypso meaning veil thus so long as the thing is covered and hidden from view it can be a mystery a thing of uncertainty but at the moment of the unveiling everything is revealed it is a revelation so this book is going to be revealed to you tonight even if I don't get to cover everything what I don't get to cover pastors promised he will say the Antichrist and the 666 he's going to be and Armageddon and the two witnesses and all of that I'll read to you the list that will be happening when we're there at that marriage supper of the Lamb and they're going through this for seven years so brother Marshall wants to know what we're going to be doing during those seven years up there is the marriage supper of the Lamb gonna last that long we're going to be singing and glorifying God he's going to be doing what pastor said opening his heart to us it's gonna be the most romantic thing and we're gonna be falling down and wash and him work it's no you can't even you can't even imagine where we're headed if it happens right now and where I'm rushing to tell you it can be divided into three a first analyses grace chapters one through five it takes in the period of the Holy Ghost church age of grace which is a system as well as an attribute of God the system of grace is the grace of God hath appeared unto us teaching us it's the system of his death burial and resurrection that's what the grace of God is and the government of God is all that's going to be happening between the rapture the fourth chapter the sixth to the nineteenth chapter is all of that bad stuff that seven years of Jacob's trouble a time of trouble like this world has never seen it's going that's the government that embraces chapter six through 19 and deals with God's judgments or wrath poured out without mixture upon this world no mercy no grace the great day of his wrath has come because rejected love turns into poured out wrath equal to his amazing grace and never failing love can you imagine that kind of wrath there has never been a time of unmitigated judgment as shall be poured out upon the earth during this 70th week in other words 70th week Daniel needs to be read with revelation Daniel prophesized that John describes it to amazing men oh you will love this man when we get through and God chose him to let all of this be given to him he allowed him to be banished on that Isle of Patmos this is the man to whom Jesus risked his mother this is the man that stayed as close to him as he could stay even after losing his precious brother James glory is the third one which includes chapters 20 through 22 there's a lot of bad stuff there but that's the holy city that's the description of where we're headed for that's our bridegroom's gift to us did you hear me that marriage supper of the lamb that's our gift to us that holy city that holy city is his home that he's going to prepare for us that's our gift and the final consummation the Satan is cast out then the Millennium then Satan released released for a little season follow me he deceives the nation's Gog and Magog gathers them together to battle the number of which is as the sand of the sea after that thousand years millennial rule and reign he's loosened for a little season he deceives the nation's and then fire came down from heaven and devoured them he's in control he can handle any situation you've got if he cared if he wanted to he could take care of every situation you've got right now but he is letting it all happen for something greater to come out of you and it will if you will allow it don't get bitter don't quit going to church don't give up on God don't blame God with nothing say just put him first and no I'm gonna live and reign with him forever and trust him do you kind of understand that already so here we are then Satan is cast into the lake of fire after the after that we're at the end now in the 20th between it but I'm gonna go back but I'm just giving you an outline then the great white throne and eternity then the new heaven and the new earth then Jerusalem is described when Jesus had completed his redemptive work upon earth and ascended then was made known the final consummation of all things Daniel had desired to know these things follow me but God had said to him but Thou O Daniel shut up the words and seal the book even to the time of the end many shall run to and fro knowledge shall be increased and he said goes our way Daniel for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of in not the end of time but the time of the end John was exiled on the Isle of Patmos notice shut away from all contact with man they intended to brainwash him and get rid of him but he wasn't cut off from communication with God and under the inspiration of the Holy Ghost and the Old Testament John knew the events the horrifying events occurring both in Rome at that time and in Jerusalem the intensification of spiritual warfare that was confronting the church then perpetrated by anti-christian state and numerous and a Christian religions so the purpose of his message was to give encouragement to pastors churches persecuted Christians comforting them challenging them programming them giving them a sure and a blessed hope of every born-again New Testament Christian and together with the assurance that in Christ you're safe no matter what you go through they were sharing in the sovereign God's new method of total overcoming the forces of evil in all its manifestations were in this with Jesus Christ to overcome all that he defeated at Calvary is delegated to us it's been given to us these mighty weapons are not something just for a preacher to preach about they can be used to fight the devil every step of the way and drive him back to the pit where he came from revelation is also an evangelistic appeal to those who are presently living in the kingdom of darkness to enter the kingdom of light be born again a water spirit of Jesus said John 3:3 5 the central message of Revelation is that the Lord God omnipotent is in control always has been always will be but you'll understand what this all this stuff you don't understand is he's going to make the devil turn loose of this world because it belongs to God and Adam turned it over to the devil when you transgressed so the devil's got the title deed but Jesus is gonna make him say calf rope he's gonna make him he's gonna choke him to death with all of this stuff I don't want to be here when he doesn't but God's going to get this earth back for me and you so that's what all this stuff in between the fourth chapter and the nineteenth chapter is all about I know I don't need to be doing that but I've got to let you understand where you are and and those that follow the lamb are involved in a continuing spiritual conflict and Revelation those provides deep insight into the nature and tactics of the enemy that's going to try every one of us dragon is frustrated about the defeat at the cross do you believe that there's that we're all real do you believe we're real sitting here then there's a real devil and he is like pastors telling you he's mad he's angry he knows his time is short he was defeated at Calvary he knows it he knows he was whipped and he's mad about it and he's gonna do everything he can to keep you and me and our families if he can trip us up and make us not but I'm not going to go through that tribulation when I can go younger be with them marriage supper of the Lamb and be singing and praising God with him you might as well like he says tell the devil to go to hell by himself he's frustrated he's developed a Trinity to make war on the Saints the first beast or monster symbolizes the reality of anti-christian government and political power and the second anti Christian religion philosophy and theology together they produced the ultimately deceptive and seductive anti Christian secular society Commerce and culture you're on your way to every bit of this and were already in it the harlot Babylon chapter 17 to 18 composed of those who dwell on the earth these thus bear the mark of the monster and their names are not registered in the Lamb's Book live and whosoever lame is not written in the Lamb's Book of Life the BA in the twentieth chapter of Revelation says they were cast into hell I want my name written in the Lamb's Book of Life and I don't want the Lord to ever blot it out he tells one of those churches I brought your name out don't tell me it's eternal security you can get your name blotted out of the Lamb's Book of Life I'm in this to see all the way I don't know what I'll go through yet but I've got my mind made up I'm gonna I'm going with this church this is my people I'm gonna live with them I'm gonna die with them I'm going to that holy city I'm going to the marriage supper of the Lamb with them some only flap your hands about that that's what it is the dragon continually delegates his restricted power and authority to beam up to these monsters and their followers in order to deceive and discourage anyone from God's creative redemptive purpose the entire message is signified which means sign say satified signified means sana fide is signed this is the key to understanding of the visions all of which contains figurative language and i'ma tell you why pointing to the spiritual realities in and behind historical experience signs and symbols are essential because spiritual truth an unseen reality must always be communicated to human beings through their senses symbols point to what is ultimately indescribable for example the account of the demonic lost from the abyss creates a vivid horrifying impression even though the Minuten details are not intended to be interpreted when Jesus speaks of Hell he talks about plucking out your eye cutting off your hand or cutting off your foot I'm telling us if there were not even any real fire which I believe there is inhale I don't want to go there because of the bad stuff I've read about it I don't want to be there with all that's going there so all I'm telling you the symbols point to what is ultimately indescribable for example those about the locust so revelation one lighting here it right the things now John which thou have seen and the things which are and the things which shall be Hereafter three things in this one verse you have the Overlook of the entirety of the book of Revelation it's basically divided into three sections there are these the things which you have seen that concerns the first chapter of Revelation and pertains to the vision of Jesus even though the Apostle John had been personally chosen by Jesus that's one of the closest disciples and had walked with him for some three and a half years still he would now see Jesus in a complete different light John now saw him in all of his glory so much glory that John said I fell at his feet as dead and he said we don't know what we'll be like but we know when we see him we shall be like him do you want a glorified body and live with Jesus forever the natural man beholding the glorified Christ you you you can't you you can't do it he felt is dead and John said the latest right hand upon me saying fear not I'm the first to the last liveth boys did hold on for every morning I've got the keys of hell and death I've got the keys of death and I'm going after to get this earth back for my people because I'm gonna have a new heaven and a new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness John saw Jesus standing in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks the candlesticks represent and symbolize the church as the head of the church Jesus stands in the midst there were seven candlesticks the number seven is God's number of perfection totality universality and completion the church on earth chapters two and three of Revelation and the things which are now get this that that constitutes chapters two and three of Revelation which pertain to the church age even though only two chapters in the book of Revelation are devoted to it the church age constitutes the longest period of time of the three sections now 2,000 almost 2017 and were still the church is still on earth emphasis a church that was Orthodox and doctrinally strong faithful it had forgotten its first love love for God love for people love to go to church love for the things that pertain to the kingdom of God faithfully but they were cold in their practice and they were losing their love for people and for souls and settling down in the middle structure of things Smyrna apparently a small struggling Church pure but a suffering Church Pergamos in some call it Pergamum a church of doctrine come doctrinal compromise it had begun to drift from the moorings of biblical truth Tara Tara and assembly that tolerated a Jezebel in its midst a person who was feeding people in astray astray and winning a hearing even though she herself was the false teacher Sarvis a church that was big impressive and well-known but dead philadelphia the most encouraging of the churches in the little bitty town but had an open door of opportunity and a ministry that God wanted her to use thank God for an open door in Alexandria the church was vital very much alive like pol a and full of potential say we ain't seen our best days yet so Laodicea Church that received no commendation from the Lord he was outside knockin one of lukewarm indifference it was neither cold nor hot and God said you're dead I'm gonna spew you out of my mouth can you imagine the king of kings and the Lord of lords knocking on these doors trying to get in here say I'm gonna let him in even if I get called down I'm gonna let him in my worship every time now the next verse what follow me after this John heard these come up hither and I will show you the things which must be Hereafter the things that they're fixing to show Hereafter you won't hear of this church anymore a pastor mention it after the church age period you will see the church in heaven notice there is no mention of the in the book of revelation of the coming of the Lord nor the departure of the church however in chapters 2 and 3 the churches on earth and then in chapters 4 and 5 it is in heaven which means the unrecorded event took place between chapters 3 and 4 the church disappears in a moment in the twinkling of an eye at the first verse chapter 4 and the next time we see the church is in chapter 19 that he had us to read about there are four Alleluias there because this bride this parts going to get to see all of that Babylon fall and we're gonna Alleluia we're gonna see it all Alleluia we're gonna see that Alleluia send one our soul babblings coming down say bad ones coming down and we're shouting hallelujah we're singing there oh my goodness and unto them and here here's and I don't know when it's going to happen but let me tell you what I put in here for me and you and and and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time I never want to stop looking I have an intuitive fear that should I discard this expectant attitude born in me by the Holy Ghost I will pay dearly for such infidelity you're going to hear me and you're hearing pastors say the Lord's coming blessed are they that are looking for him keep your eyes on the eastern sky say I'm looking up I wish you'd come right now I'm ready for the Lord to come and then revelation 4 after this I looked up and behold a door was open in heaven oh mama and I heard that of a trumpet that explained this morning talking with me and this will compare with first Thessalonians 4 and immediately now follow me I was in the spirit and the whole touch there's a throne was set in heaven and one sat on the throne that's the throne and that's the first thing as you are raptured the first thing is every New Testament born-again believer will be judged at the judgment seat of Christ that's the throne right there not for sin not the condemnation there will be nobody judged for saying you wouldn't be there these this is a judgement for our works what you're doing now this people this is a hard-working church and everybody that's not involved pastors going to try to get you involved I'd want to be involved in something if I had to vacuum whatever I had to do this is my church I want to be involved in my church we're not 30 Tillman if weren't saved or lost but we wouldn't be there but this is the place where our Christian lives are given a thorough testing thorough testing under fire and tears are not wiped away until after this there will be a lot of shedding of tears at that judgement seat of Christ I had a dream about it many years ago changed my life ten prospects where we were living I woke brother Meng and pulling on my night clothes screaming I was screaming I'm not gonna do it that loud but I oughta scream we all scream everything we ought to scream this from door to door we're to swing it from the pulpits like pastor did this morning I want it screamed at me I want to be ready and I heard and I woke myself up screaming if I haven't done well you can't say well done it changed my life I'll never forget it I saw that strong high I saw millions coming with such rapidity that they were there before I wanted to get there and when he looked down at me that's when I woke up and grabbed my clothes and screamed if I haven't done well he can't say well done you're gonna when the rapture takes place you're gonna stand before that throne that John saw and once sat on it what what a phrase many will suffer loss for loss it's going to your works are going to be tried with fire I really want my motives wrong if I tell you I love you I want my motive right because I'm gonna be trial my works John saw the character of God you got a little bit of that character in you say the Holy Ghost is God's nature the Holy Ghost is God's nature that's his character when I received the whole it's represented by a yellow transparent jasper speaking of God's holiness holiness is his character in a red Sodom stone which denote it is justice holiness and justice are inseparable there are inseparable qualities of the divine character of Almighty God the complete rainbow tells of the Covenant keeping whose promise will be totally complete the four and twenty elders and the four living creatures I love those four living creatures they're awesome my husband said I want to be one of those four living creatures they're going to be God's representatives they're going to help him all the way through that thousand years millennial rule and reign you don't think we'll ever hey you say I'm tired I want to go to heaven and rest you will rest from these Labor's but you won't get there to just sit on the banks of a river and throw my guitar and singing all that we're going to be involved in a kingdom that's without end we're going to receive our badges at this judgement seat of Christ and whatever you are there that's what you're going to be throughout eternity if you're going to be some little somebody within us but I'm gonna be that five-star general when I get there by the help and grace of God Oh though the representatives of all the redeemed because in the next chapter all of them are engaged in the singing of the new song in which they claim themselves to have been redeemed by the blood of the Lamb now the forints the 24 elders represent the Saints of all times twelve patriarchs representing the Old Testament Saints twelve apostles being the symbol of the New Testament Saints now there are united in twenty-four neither Jew nor Gentile because in Christ there is neither Jew they are seated as though satisfied that they have gained a reward the four and living creatures are not sitting their eyes are alert in every direction ready to go and to action of that sound like brother Mannion to do our God's bidding leading this whole Universal choir there are the highest-ranking celestial beings they represent all the vital force of creation whose primary function is worship with unceasing watchfulness and that brings us to 5 through 10 and get this and don't miss this if we don't get to finish anything say the 7 sealed book that is the book of redemption of this earth you're sealed until the day of your Redemption your soul has been redeemed but your body has not been redeemed yet this earth is not redeemed but it's fixin to be redeemed that that that's that follow this written within and on the backside this is the book of redemption of this world God getting back the title deed since Adam gave it to the devil and all of that and this book has to do with the redemption of God's total creation universe and all everything in it that book is a book of redemption it is a book of the final acts of God that we're going to have time to tell you about they're cursed concerning the liberation and and this ruined universe this book the seven sealed book is the book of the judgment of God upon the alien and the usurper and the interloper who has Hearst this earth and destroyed it and now occupies it that book is the book of the casting out of this usurper and the destroyer this book is the book of the casting of devil into hell and that old dragon and and of the grave the grave is going to be destroyed and death and sin that book is the book of the redemption of the whole purchased possession of God say I see do you do you see that then when that seal went when when we when we get open that seven sealed book and those and that all gets to be pouring out this world you and there's not gonna be anything like it just remember that seven sealed book and think what would be written on every one of them John welcome now follow me and get this to because this is powerful John whelped which is representative of all the tears that have been shared since Adam wept over Abel it represents everything you've ever gone through here's weeping every time you weep John John's weeping was representative of that because no one was found worthy to open the book and to loose the seals there are the seals while heaven was full of power glory might and majesty that can do it wipe away your tears beloved John because the worthy one is here and I beheld five six of ten and lo in the midst of the throne of the four beasts and in the midst of the elders stood a lamb as that had been slain having seven horns and seven eyes which are the seven spirits one spirit but seven powerful benefits sent forth in all the earth and notice and he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne now follow me that is the greatest act of all the story of God's creation when he came and took that book out of the hand of him that sat on the throne that's the greatest story of God's can all God's greatest act in all of God's creation that is the greatest act in the Apocalypse that is the greatest act in the history of mankind he came and took the book that book the deeds of the forfeiture to give back to our lost inheritance in that act it represented my great God going even the prayers of all the saints through all the ages in that book in that act is the judgment of God upon sin and upon Satan and upon death and upon the grave and upon hail in that one act is cast out all those enemies who would deny us to what God has purposed for us when he saw us in the beginning and before the foundation of the world so we'd not we've not John behold he saw our Savior who is also our Lord and our soon coming King he saw the lamb slain he saw him standing standing in the majesty of the Lion of the tribe of Judah he's laid down now that lamb like nature he's fixing to take on that line like nature the line of the tribe of Judah and here's the next words he hath prevailed in the days of his flesh he prevailed he is victorious he the conqueror here's the line of the tribe of juda he prevailed he he prevailed in that when he was fasting forty days he prevailed on Calvary he he suffered and he said forgive them for the nona he prevailed he did everything perfect he prevailed now they after that that and when he had taken the book the four beasts and the four and twenty elders brother Marshall fell down before the lamb having every one of them harps and golden vials full of odours which are the prayers of the Saints and they sung a new song saying that was that's all going to be happening while all of this and I'm fixing to read to you about it's going on down here say seven years and at least three and a half of them the worst stuff that's ever been happening and nobody can even describe it it's so horrible I'll read you part of it that's what we're going to be doing falling down your worship him and singing and praising and worshipping God and slain and has to redeemed us to the god we're going to be singing to him and glorifying him and worshiping him he's made us kings and priests and we shall reign with him on earth it is this appearing everyone and everything in heaven on earth and under the earth bowed in reverence and worship him this is the time of reference was made that the trees of the fields will clap their hands the mountains and heels will be Gorge together come on folks let's come on over everything we're headed to something great we will join in the plays of eternity and crown him Lord of lords and King of Kings oh lord help us to praise him now you won't worry about me I'll be I cannot praise anybody if I've got the string you tune your hearts and lives to that great day it will be indescribable and it's not too far in the future now hear me with this scene the dispensation of grace closes closes closes forever it closes forever and if I were you I wouldn't let that door closed in my face I do everything I could to make my separating like pastor preach to us this morning I want to get every wrinkle out of whatever's wrinkle in me I'll get ready for that marriage supper of the Lamb seven seals broken chapter six through seven while heaven is full of worship to the Lord earth is full of wolves because the we are enjoying our wedding gifts our marriage supper we're enjoying the holy city the Lord is about to avenge the blood of his saints the cry come and see in verses one three five and seven get this which comes from the lips of the living creatures it is really one word come now follow this and it is not an invitation to John to come and see what is happening but it is a command to whatever's behind those seals to come forth it's time for you to come forth so the first seal is that Whitehorse the results of the enter Christ is revealed the breaking of the second seal is a red horse the rider had power to take to take peace from the earth in other words to create war in the first seal the router had a bow but no errors and the Christ comes posing as a friend but soon declares himself the enemy of all mankind the third seal is a black horse whose rider carried a balance and measured out the food I don't want to be here are you awake then I holler I don't want to be here so don't intend to be here when that door opens and the Fort Shafter say I'm gone I'm gone hallelujah I won't be there enjoying the Lord while all of this stuff is going on down here don't let nobody talk you out of this or try to get you to compromise or nothing else I'm gonna get worse I'm not going to I don't want nothing of this world hanging on to me the third seal a black horse whose rider carried a balance and measured out the food get this demonstrating a time of famine so severe that a measure of wheat are three measures of inferior barley would have sold for a penny or a day's pay and I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts saying a measure of wheat for opinion three measures of barley for a penny and see thou hurt not to all other wine and the war will have taken all labor so that men will have to rely on that which he grows wild and needs little cultivation they all and the wine the fourth seal and I'm going fast is the pale horse death was the rider and hail followed him each horse is a natural follower of the other one and the Christ brings war war brings famine famine brings death here death is both physical and spiritual the fifth seal the martyred Saints under the altar of sacrifice where you see that disembodied spirits of those who died for the cause of Christ they were awaiting the final resurrection there will be two resurrections in the 20th chapter of Revelation that's not the that's not the resurrection of the earth the great white throne judgment these two resurrections and we don't have time to talk about that but just know in the twentieth chapter it says blessed and holy is he that what part in the first resurrection and that other resurrection is where the Lord I guess brings up these and and then we're there and we say who are these Lord he says these are they that came out of Great Tribulation they are demanding justice to be meted out upon their adversaries this cannot be done until the cup of indignation is full and that's what God's waiting for in your situation there's something in your situation that's not quite full but say God is going to do it for me I wish you'd say that said God's gonna do that for me so he's gonna fix it for me when my suffering is ended those of our God rejecters will only be began those of God rejecters will only be beginning third day is yet to come the sixth seal is physical changes such physical upheavals will take place that all men remaining on earth both small and great will know that the great day of his wrath has come then they will seek death but not be able to find it oh can you imagine anything equal to his love this is going to be unrequited love when you read when you reject love and somebody turns on you and wrath this internal intervention now this interval there's about to be an interval so the sixth and seventh seals and the sixth and seventh trumpets and the sixth and seventh Bob's during the interval the judgments are held while 144,000 Jews are sealed these are the elect number of Israel children of Israel who are going to be protected by the impending catastrophe they will have the greatest revival ever known on this planet the greatest the same time a multitude of redeemed is seen in John seven nine to twelve a great multitude which no man could number of all nations and Kindred's and people and tongues stood before the throne and before the lamb clothed with the robes and palms in their hands and cried with a loud voice saying salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne and unto the lamb and all the Angels stood round about the throne and about the elders of four beasts fell before the throne on their faces and worship God that's what we're going to be doing for the marshal we're going to be worshipping God and praising with the Angels it's going to be a time of rejoicing no mind can or no tongue can tell it this is immediately before the Great Tribulation we an even got to the middle part of it that which is the last half of Jacob's trouble or Daniels 70th week they obeyed the message of the 144,000 after this comes the breaking of the seven seven seals seven trumpets the act was preceded by a period of silence the book which was in process of being opened was sealed with seven seals although six of those had been broken the contents of the book remain a secret it would be this file break which would unfold it's hidden mysteries all the things that had already transpired so what would come would be this that when this seal was broken it was that which caused a great as there comes a great hush over nature before the breaking of the storm when the birds seek refuge and the wild animal retreats his lair so here was a trench a tenseness which everything and everyone held our breath as it were in all and wonderment thirty minutes the book opened with the appearance of seven angels each of them having a trumpet these were accompanied by an eighth angel who stood by the golden altar the place of intercession this angel had in his hand a golden censer and with it he exercised a twofold ministry first he placed it upon the place of opponent much incense which typify the acceptance of the prayers of the saints secondly he filled his censer with the power of the altar and then tipped it down to earth thus declaring the judgment of God upon sinner who could have been saved by those players prayers were prayed for them they did not respond to them so now the judgment of God is going to be poured o my mind because of his rejection of his mercy and His grace now the sounding of the seven trumpets the first trumpet a third part of all the trees in the grass is destroyed as the result of a fearful hailstorm the second trumpet this brought destruction to a third part of the sea as it was turned into blood bringing death to the third part of life in the sea and destruction to the third do you believe this is going to happen is it in the book say it's going to happen say I'm not going to be here I'm going through that door in the fourth chapter I'm going to be there praising and blessing God I'm going to be faithful to church I'm going to be faithful to prayer I'm gonna do like he said this morning I'm gonna put every egg I got in this basket this church is the marriage supper of the Lamb bride hallelujah the third trumpet wormwood embittered a third part of the water and the rivers and the fountains that would be the domestic supply so that men died from this contamination the fourth trumpet at the sound we're having a good time up there in heaven with all this going on in that sad but he's making the devil turn loose of this earth this earth is going to be your to read it I wrote it even down here second Peter third chapter long about their heavens it's going to be caught on with fire said there's gonna be a whole occasion this is all going to be burned up everything you're seasoning be burned up I want to get out of here when that trumpet singer I want to be that's what I ought to get across to you the revelation is not hard to understand it's just this and be involved in the church because the church gets out of here in the fourth chapter she's not seen again till the nineteenth chapter when she comes back with him to the to the Battle of Armageddon with that second supper that you read about this morning where he has to call in all the birds of the air to feast upon those that had come to make war against you oh my goodness folks if you knew if God will give you a revelation of all of this you won't have to kick your shins to pray you won't have to be nobody begging you are calling you to come to church you can't get there fast enough you say I want to get in the middle of everything that's going on there I want God to help me and save me I won't it if you feel like breaking through even here and having us pray for you you can help yourself any time because we're getting a church ready this pastor preached to us this morning out of his heart he hung a part of his life on this pulpit and we're going I'm going in that first resurrection go ahead Pat see that fourth trumpet a solar system was darkened the Sun and the moon and stars yeah you can't give it up devil he hears me right now someone of his amps knows he can carrot back to Hell and scream but God's going to take care of me I may not live to be a hundred but as long as I live he's got trouble you've got some old 'evil with this an angel flew through heaven crying whoa whoa whoa whoa four conditions worsen in the sounding of the remaining trumpets it gets worse and worse and worse and worse up to this moment Nature has been affected but now man himself is going to be affected he's going to be touched the fifth trumpet and first of all from the bottomless pit a Great Plague of infernal locust locust that's a symbol yes what it's telling you released by an angel who unlocks the pit these are commanded not to touch the vegetation which is the natural thing for ordinary locusts instead they are to torment men for five months no tell us what these demons are that's been released from Hell in the symbolic form of locust but not to kill any they must be a host of evil spirits released released by the permissive will of God for years men have refused his wooing and his appeals of the Holy Ghost now they would suffer an attack from the evil spirit until they longed for death as a way of escape Paul warned it's a fearful thing to fall into the hands of a living God and the sixth trumpet and the second woe an infernal army of horsemen is released from the Euphrates a third part of the men die at this particular time and verse 15 should read which were prepared for the hour of the day of the month of the year it is a particular moment of time rather than a period of time as they suggested in the in the text God has ever worked according to a timetable he has appointed a time in which he will judge the world now as there was and in an interval between the sixth and the seventh seals so there is now this is God redeeming the earth applying pressure pressure pressure to Satan until he Christ's calf rope and that's the devil that's tormenting you don't give him any don't give him any space don't even the other Mangan would say don't even talk to him that's what he said don't even talk to him don't argue with the devil ignore him and go on listen to the Lord this interval before the sounding of the seventh trumpet in the in it the Apostle saw another vision a mighty angel closed in a cloud and a hallowed with and hallowed with a rainbow his face was as the Sun in his feet as pillars of fire this is similar to the vision in Chapter 1 which was the Lord the rainbow reminding us that he is the covenant-keeping god there was a little book in the hand of the angel the word in the Greek meaning a miniature Bible or the Word of God he stood in the attitude of swearing or taking an oath as he lifted his hand toward heaven his position was possessive placing one foot on the sea and the other upon the earth his cry was that there would be time no longer not follow me as the margin quotes it there should be no more delay not the end of time but no more delays or what you're about to bring forth all the souls under the altar cried o Lord how long now I'm going to let that all go and move on because I've got to the two witnesses pastor is going to preach that some time or other at his convenience and wind these are undoubtedly Moses and Elijah he will tell us all about that the seventh seal the seventh trumpet I'm sorry with it are brought into the middle of that week known as the trip and into the half week now at the sounding of this trumpet two world two wonders are two signs or symbols appear a sign cannot give any time element a woman clove of the Sun this is a symbol of Israel resplendent in her glory and the dragon the great dragon that old serpent called the devil and Satan cast out defeated he the rejoicing is in heaven but woe to this earth because here's what's fixin to happen a satanic Trinity a very important chapter is chapter 13 the dragon is anti-god he's deceiving the whole world the beast is enter Christ and the false prophet is anti spirit Antichrist Ezra is referred to in verses 1 and 3 and 1313 is a very important chapter and is seen as the that rose up from the sea he possessed all the same characteristics of the beast in the Book of Daniel Daniel and revelation he'd be read together the Beast receives his power from the dragon then he went forth to make war against the Saints the Lamb like creature who becomes the false prophet is the Antichrist he can he comes on deceives people like a lamb he exhausts the Antichrist he caused an image to be set up to the Beast that required all men to will too should worship and receive the mark 6 is the number of the man created on the sixth day 666 pastors gonna teach you all that who will give control the lives who will control the lives of those who have refused to bow their knee obeyed not the gospel from the lamb like creature of the earth our thoughts are directed to the lamb on Mount Zion that's where with the representation these are Israelites they represent the 144 or they are the 144,000 there are the Jewish remnant they are now referred to back they are the same ones I read to you in 7 1 through 8 I wish them to talk about that more but I can't there are spiritual versions who have remained true to the Lord not having prostituted themselves into idolatry they are without fault and in their mouth was found no God for their without fault before the throne of God revelation 14 and 5 6 angels first angel verses 6 through 7 preaches the everlasting gospel not the gospel of the church age the burden of the everlasting gospel is to fear God and worship Him as a creator for the hour of his judgment he's come not the day of his grace 2nd angel he announces the fall of the great Babylon and we're going to be there to see that third angel this angel pronounces the wrath of God which is to fall on the followers of Antichrist and and that's when a voice is heard from heaven saying write blessed are the Dead which die in the Lord for henceforth ye saith the spirit that they may rest from their labors in other words happy is the person by reason of death escapes those dreadful days there is no way to tell you how you better be in that first resurrection I wish somebody'd shout I'm gonna be in that first resurrection never been a day like it never been a day like it Christ then appears as a reaper while the fourth angel bids him cast into the sickle read because the sins of the people are wrought and ready for judgment fifth angel he thrust his sickle and gathers the vintage of the earth sixth angel he comes from the golden altar and gives command to the fifth angel in Chapter 15 those who are saved through the tribulation period are seen separated standing on the sea of glass singing the song of Moses and the lamb suggest about the deliverance of Israel at the Red Sea instead of worshiping a Savior there are worshiping a king that's their song of Moses the servant of God and the son saying great and marvellous things then the seventh seventh hours 16 through 17 these are vials poured out upon the earth by seven grievous sores grievous sore upon the followers of Antichrist second vile turns to sea into blood bringing death third vile turns the rivers into blood fourth vial is poured upon the Sun causing men to be burned with heat fifth vile darkness and pain sixth vial is poured out upon the river Euphrates causing it to dry up the last barrier to total destruction is removed clearing the way for the invasion of the East Euphrates symbolizes all the future military invasions that wouldn't that would destroy the empower then then comes the interval which is found between the sixth and the seventh in each series following this interval three unclean spirits like unto frogs we're hearing them croak now emanate from the Satanic Trinity Trinity for they are the spirits of Devil's working miracles which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world to gather them to battle of the great day of the auricular work miracles signs and wonders they can't compete with the book of Acts Church but they're going to do it to lead people we're headed now after this thing is over to the about this weird even got to the Battle of Armageddon yet vouchers don't eat but these things for spirits appear in the evening of the age after this tribulation is over say after the tribulation then comes the Lord back in the nineteenth chapter and we're coming with him say and that's the Battle of Armageddon so all of this stuff I'm reading to you it's happening in those seven years and we're up there marshal falling down and every time they get a chance those 24 elders are falling on their face and those four wonderful spiritual leaders that's happening down there falling on their faces you ought not to have any trouble driving here worshiping God you ought to wake up at night you ought to wake up at night and praise God and say just don't leave me here I'd wake up some night and brother Mangan we build that side ante he'd be over there and I'd see him just to go in just I'm going to heaven but that's gonna be this is awesome oh and we're gonna see all of this that I'm talking about we're falling down to worshiping God we're singing we've got our wedding week we're gonna have our wedding and then that hallelujah we're gonna see Babel and fall and and they and they gather them to the Battle of Armageddon those evil spirits are coming out of hell that they are pouring of that seventh vial that brings about the greatest earthquake of all time which destroys the cities of the world all of them none of these judgments brings repentance on the part of man but instead rather they blaspheme him and curse him the fall of the ecclesiastical Babylon is chapter 17 a church and a city and guess what let me let you in on something I studied instead in in study Noah's Noah's three boys Hayyim had a boy named cush cush had a boy named Nimrod Nimrod had a boy that I couldn't quite pronounce his name and couldn't find that word to pronounce it but then he had a boy named Isis Isis you're heard of Isis Isis ceremony hey he was in the ark not but ham was in the arc you have a boy named what cush cush had a boy named Nimrod that's where in the inn in Genesis 11 chapter pastor can teach you know that it needs to be toggled that's what babbling began say I want to hear it all I don't want to hear it all how about you pastor Andrew how about you and pastor J tree how about you brother that all right well you know I was looking there you go now you go could heart see you yeah there you go got his master's in it they can't keep up with Lane none of them know I'm just to blow enough to get you to wake up I'm just about I'm loosing me through but let me tell you what you need to be shouting all over this place when I do you need to wake up to what you've got we're in the best church in the world with the greatest leaders yes we are or you wouldn't even be hearing this tonight you'd be having a little two or three songs and a little sermonette and everybody go home be the same say no we're going to get ready for the marriage supper of the Lamb Ryan am i doing good okay that's good then so Jesus Christ has a bride Colbert's name and that and that ecclesiastical Babylon I get a hold of that that's in the 17th chapter a church and a city but guess what back in Genesis 11 it was going to be that they were going to have a name they were going to build a city and in a name a religion and a everything that's in Genesis you will find in the rest of the Bible Genesis is Genesis it's the beginning of everything so religion and a commercial system both of which come to a sudden end Jesus Christ has a rod called by his name is pastor well reveal say that bride is the church and that church is a city come hither and I will shew the bride the Lambs wife and he cared me when she showed me the revelation 21 New Jerusalem okay and O Christ also follow me that's what I was getting to has a wife get it that wife is a church ecclesiastical Babylon the universal Church of revelation 17 and that church is a city commercial Babylon revelation 18 the church the religious system of Rome which is always salt world domination will be cared to the apex of her power by Antichrist 17 1/2 to saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured Beast full of names of blasphemy having seven heads and ten horns and the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet you read that 17 three and four the Beast that carrieth her get this that's what I want you to get the Beast that carrieth her that gave her power that came in like a little lamb at the beginning he poses to be a friend of the church but later because he wanted to get all of her help but later breaks the friendship like in the middle of the week he breaks the they that he had with Israel the contract that he had with with the Jews and pastors preached on that abomination of desolation begins breaks the friendship with her in verse 16 the woman that get this then that woman that his bride instead of a New Jerusalem that woman is hated and burned read it it's in Revelation the sixteenth verse of revelation 17 and I've read 18 the sudden change will be appreciated as it is realized that after the antichrist has helped the universal church denomination get this yet these things were just about to remember the true church has been caught away in chapter 4 an image will be set up to the Beast the false prophet then commands that all men worship that image at pain of death as man cannot worship two things there will be a sudden swing from Romanism to the Beast where the old that is ready thus the will be hated that that bride that church at this particular time Batman will be rebuilt as a city it will be the center of Commerce and the seat of Antichrist it is it too is going to fall in one hour all of that's going to happen while we're there in heaven in one hour the hour that will change everything and those who had enriched themselves from her merchandise are going to bewail her and the as to the completeness of her destruction that is expressed in chapter 18 verse 21 and a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone cast it into the sea saying thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down and shall be found no more at all so don't catch don't attach yourself to this system come on they don't attach yourself to this world system don't want no part of that's going down in an hour I'm going up in the fourth I'm not staying here to see it I'm gonna be on that other side watching it go down say I got it Sara takes a deep after wrong did I do good Kimmy do you kind of understand it I didn't get you all mixed up didn't know Sam I'm understanding it a little bit more that hey and he talks about those two suppers this morning but say that hallelujah course that he just had us to read didn't even know this say four times they shout Alleluia that eighteenth chapter it's all fallen that 17th chapter we've come through that thirteenth chapter all of it what was that seven sealed book say it's a book of redemption getting us back everything everything that's happening down here while were up there say God's going to get this earth back oh he's going to get this he's going to get the title deed and there's gonna be a rejoicing in heaven in the first place I'm just about through God has avenged the blood of his servants who died at their hand and secondly the day had come for the church their spouse bride of Jesus Christ to be united with him at the great marriage supper we've already been there an actual meal and this much this morning's message oh it made me it made me want him to come right now I'm not afraid to stand before him I know the others will be there they'll outweigh me but I'll be there and if I shed any tears I'll wipe them all away and I'm going to that marriage supper of the Lamb and I'm gonna eat with brother Mangan and it's going to be the celestial wedding of the ages and the beginning of God's eternal Enterprise from all eternity all that has preceded has just been preliminary preparatory the this follows the coming of Jesus Christ as a bridegroom to catch away his bride in the rapture of the church before the Great Tribulation and precedes his return seven years later to establish his millennium all that we briefly mentioned of the judgments to fall in love with the world system is to be left to be brought under by this world system so I'm not staying here with this world system so I got it Saints a deep after all no it's not so deep after all that the bride is on the throne with her bridegroom she's on that throne with him up until now and then the entire universe is under the regular and control of Almighty God is being manipulated by one purpose she preparing the bride out of every kindred tongue nation people what a day is ahead for the church we're the Bride of Christ he made it clear this morning the second half of the chapter deals with the literal second coming of Christ literal Second Coming which we will be involved in say the finality of his judgments for the Lord prepares his second supper called the supper of the Great God the Lord rides forth in a white horse symbolizing victory followed by all the armors of heaven including his church his eternal bride he rides as king of kings and Lord of lords his only weapon of warfare is that sharp two-edged sword that we began these sessions with the Word of God that word that we talked about in the beginning of this series which has been rejected by the world love rejected turns to wrath this is the Battle of Armageddon when the great men of the earth led and oh Christ gather against the Lord but the destroy but he destroys them all by sharp sword the word then he calls all the fowls of the air to come and feast upon them at the end of this conflict the Antichrist and the false prophet are cast alive into the lake of fire say the lake of fire say the Satan it's the bottomless pit oh my god now here's that glory that I said was the third part of the beginning the third segment that we mentioned in the beginning chapters 2022 the bottomless pit is mentioned in 20 and 3 the devil himself is bound and cast into a bottomless pit for a period of 1,000 years the Millennium chapters 24 through 10 the Saints live and reign with Christ Satan is bound sin is removed death man is vanquished peace reigns there are still nations of people upon the earth over whom the Saints reign takes special notice at the end of the thousand years here is what is so sad and I told you in the beginning Satan is loosed and permitted to go forth to deceive the four quarters of the earth and again men gather themselves together against the saints of God this thus establishing the fact that perfect environment even a thousand years duration does not change the human heart it will not do it now either sin is still there even though it may have been lying dormant the results of this battle known as Gog and Magog is that Satan is committed to his final doom the lake of fire say the false prophet and and and the anti-crisis are to their their Satan is there say all three of them wind up in the lake of fire say I'm not going to worry about neither one of them their own every one of them say I'm not worried about them say I'm not going to let them attach themselves to me for those who do not believe in eternal fire and eternal punishment may it be pointed out that it was a thousand years earlier that the Beast and enter Christ and false prophet were cast into it alive I just read that now Satan is cast into the same lake of fire alive where the beast and the false prophet are that is not annihilation the ETS to eternal fire no one questions the scientists that the fire ever burns within the heart of this earth and the volcanoes like Mount Etna are caused by the fire breaking through where the crust of the earth is finished if one believes the scientists who discovered and why not believe God who created it all I'm telling you I'm not taking a chance on none of it I'm not gambling my soul there's gonna be a new heaven and a new earth second Peter 3 11 and 13 new jerusalem is described in 22 and he said to me these sayings are faithful and true and the Lord God of the Holy Prophets sent his angel to shew his servants the things which must shortly be done behold I come quickly blessed is he that keeps these sayings of the prophecy of this book that I've just read about talks about how can man enjoy the blessings of eternity with Jesus Christ and escape all of this that we're in chapter four and verse what Jesus said I have sent my angel to testify unto those things in the churches I am the root and the offspring of David I am the bright and the morning star here's the last message in your Bible and the spirit and the bride say come are you all ready March right out here with me for Beast you're the best beast I know well the Bible called them beasts you know what that means it even gives the face of them I've got all that here in that but I didn't take time to tell you its

brave there's Jesus beyond this life there's eternal life beyond our tears beyond all that we're going food and the spirit and the bride say come oh I did good pastor hey I got mother you need good
