OUR MERCIFUL LORD JESUS CALLING FOR REPENTANCE AND
FORSAKING OF WICKEDNESS, SEVEN-YEAR TRIBULATION PERIOD EVANGELIZATION
REVELATION CHAPTERS 6-16
OUR LORDS CALL TO REPENTANCE THROUGH THE 21 JUDGMENTS (7 Seals, 7 Trumpets,
7 Bowls, Revelation Chapters 6 - 16)
Revelation 16: 9 (Fourth Bowl Judgment) They (People on earth) were seared
by the intense heat and they cursed the name of God, who had control over
the plagues, but they refused to repent and glorify him.
Revelation 16: 10B 11 Men gnawed their tongues in agony and cursed the God
of heaven because of their pains and their sores, but they refused to repent
of what they had done.
OUR LORDS CALL TO REPENTANCE THROUGH HIS MARTYRS TESTIMONIES
Revelation 6: 9, 11 When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar
(Heaven) the souls of those who had been slain because of the Word of God
and the testimony they had maintained. they were told to wait a little
longer, until the number of their fellow servants and brothers who were to
be killed as they had been was completed.
DURING THE TRIBULATION PERIOD, OUR LORD CALLS TO REPENTANCE MAN THROUGH THE
144,000 CONVERTED JEWS TO OUR LORD JESUS,
Revelation 7: 3, 4 (Four angels mission) Do not harm the land or the sea or
the trees until we put a seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God.
Then I heard the number of those who were sealed: 144,000 from all the
tribes of Israel. (Our Lord Jesus affirms and protects His Own)
Revelation 14: 1 3 Then I looked, and there before me was the Lamb, (Our
Lord Jesus) standing on Mount Zion, (Jerusalem at the Second Coming of our
Lord Jesus to earth) and with him 144,000 who had his name and his Fathers
name written on their foreheads. (Mark of ownership) And I heard a sound
from heaven like the roar of rushing waters and like a loud peal of thunder.
The sound I heard was like that of harpists playing their harps. And they
sang a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and
the elders. No one could learn the song except the 144,000 who had been
redeemed from the earth.
THE FAITHFUL LOVE AND COMMITMENT TO JESUS OUR LORD BY THE 144,000.
Revelation 14: 4, 5 These are those who did not defile themselves with
women, for they kept themselves pure. They follow the Lamb (Our Lord Jesus)
wherever he goes. They were purchased from among men and offered as
firstfruits to God and the Lamb. No lie was found in their mouths; they are
blameless.
DURING THE SEVEN-YEAR TRIBULATION, OUR LORD CALLS MAN TO REPENTANCE THROUGH
THE CONVERTS TO OUR LORD JESUS
Revelation 7: 13, 14 The one of the elders asked me, (John) These in white
robes-who are they, and where did they come from? I answered, Sir, you know.
And he said, These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they
have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
OUR LORD JESUS AFFIRMING LOVE AND HONORING HIS SAINTS FROM THE SEVEN-YEAR
GREAT TRIBULATION PERIOD
Revelation 7:15 17 Therefore, they are before the throne of God and serve
him day and night in his temple; and he who sits on the throne will spread
his tent over them. Never again will they hunger; never again will they
thirst. The sun will not beat upon them, nor any scorching heat. For the
Lamb (Our Lord Jesus) 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 their eyes."
DURING THE LAST THREE AND HALF YEARS OF THE SEVEN YEAR TRIBULATION PERIOD,
OUR LORD JESUS CALLS TO REPENTANCE MAN THROUGH HIS TWO WITNESSES. (Moses and
Elijah)
Revelation 11:3, 4 And I will give power to my two witness, and they will
prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth. These are the two olive trees
and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth.
This imagery is drawn from Zechariah Chapters 3, 4. Zechariahs vision had
both a near fulfillment (the rebuilding of the temple by Joshua and
Zerubbabel) and a far future fulfillment (the two witnesses, whose ministry
points toward Israels final restoration in the Millennium). MacArthur Study
Bible P 2006
OUR LORD JESUS PROVISION OF POWER AND PROTECTION TO HIS TWO WITNESSES, MOSES
AND ELIJAH
Revelation 11: 5, 6 If anyone tries to harm them, fire comes from their
mouths and devours their enemies. This is how anyone who wants to harm them
must die. These men have power to shut up the sky so that it will not rain
during the time they are prophesying; and they have power to turn the waters
into blood and to strike the earth with every kind of plague as often as
they want.
THE TWO WITNESSES DEATH AND RESURRECTION TO HEAVEN
Revelation 11: 7, 8, 11 Now when they have finished their testimony, the
beast (World Dictator, Antichrist) that comes up from the Abyss will attack
them, and overpower and kill them. Their bodies will lie in the street of
the great city, which is figuratively called Sodom and Egypt, where also
their Lord was crucified. (Jerusalem) But after the three and a half days a
breath of life from God entered them, and they stood on their feet, and
terror struck those who saw them. Then they heard a loud voice from heaven
saying to them, Come up here. And they went up to heaven in a cloud, while
their enemies looked on.
DURING THE TRIBULATION PERIOD, OUR LORD JESUS CALLS MAN TO REPENTANCE
THROUGH HIS OVERCOMERS OF THE ANTICHRIST
Revelation 12: 11 They overcome him (World Dictator, Antichrist) by the
blood of the Lamb (Our Lord Jesus) and by the word of their testimony; they
did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.
DURING THE TRIBULATION PERIOD, OUR LORD JESUS CALLS MAN TO REPENTANCE
THROUGH THE ANGEL FLYING IN MIDAIR OVER THE EARTH
Revelation 14: 6 Then I saw another angel flying in midair, and he had the
ETERNAL GOSPEL to proclaim to those who live on the earth-to every nation,
tribe, language and people. He said in a loud voice, Fear God and give him
glory, because the hour of his (Christ Jesus) judgment has come. Worship him
(Our Lord Jesus) who made the heavens, the earth, the sea and the springs of
water.
THE VICTORIOUS, WITNESSING SAINTS WORSHIP IN HEAVEN OF OUR LORD JESUS
Revelation 15: 2, 3A And I saw what looked like a sea of glass mixed with
fire and, standing beside the sea, those who had been victorious over the
beast (World Dictator, Antichrist) and his image (False religion, Revelation
13: 14, 15) and over the number of his name. (Economical control, Revelation
13: 16 18)
Revelation 15: 3B, 4 (Tribulation saints worship) and they sang the song of
Moses (Song of deliverance from the Antichrist example Egypt) the servant of
God and the song of the Lamb: (Our Lord Jesus deliverance from sin and
sinners)
Great and marvelous are your deeds, Lord God Almighty. Just and true are
your ways, King of the ages. Who will not fear you, O Lord, and bring glory
to your name? For you alone are holy. All nations will come and worship
before you, for your righteous acts have been revealed. |
