(see "Prophetic Vocabulary")
Note; Can a Juror determine truth without hearing ALL of the evidence? It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that one hear ALL of the evidence, beginning with Part #1 of these posts!
In previous TESTIMONY, the DEFENSE proposed that the Books of DANIEL and REVELATION are comprised of 2 types of Chapters/Prophecies.
OVERVIEW Chapters, which cover an extended period of time and several events.
DETAIL Chapters, which focus on a particular event or period of time to provide greater information of that event or period of time.
It is the position of the DEFENSE that REVELATION 6 is a PERFECT EXAMPLE of an "Overview" Chapter.
REVELATION 6 TESTIFIES of a period of time that starts immediately after Christ's crucifixion and runs until THE DAY of Christ's 2nd coming.
There have been many ACCEPTED THEORIES concerning what is referred to as "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse".
As the JURY will soon hear, those theories were simply based upon a LACK of INFORMATION.
With the information that GOD had allowed to be UNDERSTOOD at THAT PERIOD OF TIME, they APPEARED to make sense.
As important as it is to recognize the "Overview" and "Detail" Prophecies contained within REVELATION;
It is JUST AS IMPORTANT to COMPREHEND the SOLE PURPOSE for THE EXISTANCE of the Book of REVELATION.
The DEFENSE would submit for JURY consideration that the Book of REVELATION is the "REVEALING" of JESUS CHRIST.
EVERYTHING contained within the Book of REVELATION is to reveal the AUTHORITY and POWER of THE "LAMB"(Jesus Christ).
It ALSO EXPOSES the "LAMB-LIKE" Fallen Angel Lucifer, who would seek to make himself EQUAL WITH JESUS CHRIST.
The DEFENSE would also submit for JURY consideration that there ARE ONLY TWO Main Characters / "Choices" IDENTIFIED in the Book of REVELATION;
IF THIS IS TRUTH, then who would the riders of the 4 horses in REVELATION 6 be:
JESUS CHRIST?
SATAN?
Before the JURY hears the TESTIMONY of the 4 horsemen in REVELATION 6, it is necessary for the JURY to consider the TESTIMONY of REVELATION 5:12 &13.
13 And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, [be] unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.
The JURY SHOULD NOTE, that according to Scripture, JESUS CHRIST was to receive POWER.
Matthew 28
18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
The JURY should also note that the 4 horsemen have also received POWER.
2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.
Ladies and Gentlemen of the JURY, do you ever believe that SATAN will be given a crown and sit upon a WHITE HORSE?
The DEFENSE would submit for JURY consideration that IT IS JESUS CHRIST that has been given the POWER of the FIRST HORSEMAN, when He conquered DEATH for HIMSELF AND THIS JURY.
3 And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.
4 And there went out another horse [that was] red: and [power] was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.
As supporting EVIDENCE THAT JESUS CHRIST IS THE SECOND HORSEMAN, the DEFENSE would offer the TESTIMONY of Jesus Christ HIMSELF for JURY consideration.
35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
36 And a man's foes [shall be] they of his own household.
37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.
39 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.
Ladies and Gentlemen of the JURY, does the SECOND HORSEMAN describe a period of time;
Or does this vision represent another POWER and AUTHORITY of Jesus Christ?
The JURY SHOULD NOTE;
- The ONLY POWER granted to Satan;
- Was the "POWER TO DECEIVE".
Revelation 12
9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
Revelation 13
14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by [the means of] those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
Revelation 20
1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
ONLY JESUS CHRIST CAN BE the SECOND HORSEMAN
5 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.
6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and [see] thou hurt not the oil and the wine.
Ladies and Gentlemen of the JURY, the DEFENSE would submit for JURY consideration that the THIRD POWER Christ received was over FAMINE.
3 Therefore the showers have been withholden, and there hath been no latter rain; and thou hadst a whore's forehead, thou refusedst to be ashamed.
Jeremiah 14
11 Then said the LORD unto me, Pray not for this people for [their] good.
12 When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer burnt offering and an oblation, I will not accept them: but I will consume them by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence.
Jeremiah 24
10 And I will send the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, among them, till they be consumed from off the land that I gave unto them and to their fathers.
Jeremiah 29
17 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will send upon them the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, and will make them like vile figs, that cannot be eaten, they are so evil.
18 And I will persecute them with the sword, with the famine, and with the pestilence, and will deliver them to be removed to all the kingdoms of the earth, to be a curse, and an astonishment, and an hissing, and a reproach, among all the nations whither I have driven them:
6 These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.
Ladies and Gentlemen of the JURY, does the THIRD HORSEMAN describe a period of time;
Or does this vision represent another POWER and AUTHORITY of Jesus Christ?
Is not JESUS CHRIST the THIRD HORSEMAN?
7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
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.
Ladies and Gentlemen of the JURY, who does Scripture say has the POWER OVER DEATH and HELL?
18 I [am] he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
Ladies and Gentlemen of the JURY, does not Scripture say that JESUS CHRIST has the POWER OVER DEATH and HELL?
Ladies and Gentlemen of the JURY, the DEFENSE would ask;
Who do you believe controls the FOUR HORSES in REVELATION 6?
The DEFENSE would also point out to the JURY that the FIRST FOUR SEALS are the ONLY SEALS that are ANNOUNCED by the FOUR BEASTS.
Although this is not a lesson we will be exploring in these posts, if the JURY was to use their "Prophetic Vocabulary" concerning these 4 BEASTS, would these BEASTS represent 4 HOLY "SPIRITUAL" KINGDOMS or AREA'S of "SPIRITUAL" AUTHORITY?
It is the position of the DEFENSE that the FIFTH SEAL is opened in the time of the SEVENTH HEAD(Catholic European Union);
It is the hope of the DEFENSE, that the JURY can recognize that the SIXTH SEAL will be opened when JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF appears to mankind IN the clouds.
Revelation 6
12 And I beheld when he 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;
13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together;
and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens 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 that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
Which brings the Jury to the TESTIMONY of REVELATION 7, and our INTRODUCTION TO THE 144,000.
The DEFENSE would submit to the JURY that, the TESTIMONY of REVELATION 7 would appear to be a "DETAIL" Prophecy.
In the TESTIMONY of REVELATION 7:1, the JURY is shown FOUR ANGELS that ARE PREPARED to cause HARM UPON THE EARTH.
2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
Great "DETAIL" is ALSO provided regarding TWO GROUPS of humans.
-IS SEALED In "THEIR FOREHEADS".
3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: [and there were] sealed an hundred [and] forty [and] four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.
5 Of the tribe of Juda [were] sealed twelve thousand.
Of the tribe of Reuben [were] sealed twelve thousand.
Of the tribe of Gad [were] sealed twelve thousand.
6 Of the tribe of Aser [were] sealed twelve thousand.
Of the tribe of Nepthalim [were] sealed twelve thousand.
Of the tribe of Manasses [were] sealed twelve thousand.
7 Of the tribe of Simeon [were] sealed twelve thousand.
Of the tribe of Levi [were] sealed twelve thousand.
Of the tribe of Issachar [were] sealed twelve thousand.
8 Of the tribe of Zabulon [were] sealed twelve thousand.
Of the tribe of Joseph [were] sealed twelve thousand.
Of the tribe of Benjamin [were] sealed twelve thousand.
-FOLLOWS AFTER the 144,000, and will suffer "Great Tribulation".
9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robe, and palms in their hands;
10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.
11 And all the angels stood round about the throne, and [about] the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,
12 Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, [be] unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.
The DEFENSE would point out that Scripture provides the INTERPRETATION of the SECOND GROUP.
13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?
14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.
16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.
17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.
In PART # 30, the Jury will hear the TESTIMONY of Scripture that WILL IDENTIFY THE 144,000 that are SEALED in their foreheads.
Before these 144,000 are revealed, . . . . . .
there is STILL TIME for YOU to be one of them!!!!!!!!!!!

REVELATION 1
1 The Revelation(REVEALING) of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him(Jesus Christ), to shew unto his(Jesus Christ's) servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he(Jesus Christ) sent and signified [it] by his(Jesus Christ's) angel unto his(Jesus Christ's) servant John:The DEFENSE would submit for JURY consideration that the Book of REVELATION is the "REVEALING" of JESUS CHRIST.
EVERYTHING contained within the Book of REVELATION is to reveal the AUTHORITY and POWER of THE "LAMB"(Jesus Christ).
It ALSO EXPOSES the "LAMB-LIKE" Fallen Angel Lucifer, who would seek to make himself EQUAL WITH JESUS CHRIST.
The DEFENSE would also submit for JURY consideration that there ARE ONLY TWO Main Characters / "Choices" IDENTIFIED in the Book of REVELATION;
- JESUS CHRIST a.k.a. "LAMB" of God
- SATAN a.k.a. Dragon / "Little Horn" / "LAMB - LIKE"
IF THIS IS TRUTH, then who would the riders of the 4 horses in REVELATION 6 be:
JESUS CHRIST?
SATAN?
Before the JURY hears the TESTIMONY of the 4 horsemen in REVELATION 6, it is necessary for the JURY to consider the TESTIMONY of REVELATION 5:12 &13.
REVELATION 5
12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.13 And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, [be] unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.
The JURY SHOULD NOTE, that according to Scripture, JESUS CHRIST was to receive POWER.
Matthew 28
18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
The JURY should also note that the 4 horsemen have also received POWER.
REVELATION 6
1 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.2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.
Ladies and Gentlemen of the JURY, do you ever believe that SATAN will be given a crown and sit upon a WHITE HORSE?
The DEFENSE would submit for JURY consideration that IT IS JESUS CHRIST that has been given the POWER of the FIRST HORSEMAN, when He conquered DEATH for HIMSELF AND THIS JURY.
3 And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.
4 And there went out another horse [that was] red: and [power] was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.
As supporting EVIDENCE THAT JESUS CHRIST IS THE SECOND HORSEMAN, the DEFENSE would offer the TESTIMONY of Jesus Christ HIMSELF for JURY consideration.
MATTHEW 10
34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
36 And a man's foes [shall be] they of his own household.
37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

Revelation 20

JEREMIAH 3
2 Lift up thine eyes unto the high places, and see where thou hast not been lien with.

REVELATION 11
3 And I will give [power] unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred [and] threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.6 These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.

Ladies and Gentlemen of the JURY, who does Scripture say has the POWER OVER DEATH and HELL?
REVELATION 1
17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:18 I [am] he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.

It is the hope of the DEFENSE, that the JURY can recognize that the SIXTH SEAL will be opened when JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF appears to mankind IN the clouds.

there is STILL TIME for YOU to be one of them!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm impressed by your work. Excellent job on your studies. I have been studying for a while as well. I wanted to point something out. I believe the 5th seal has already been opened. Especially with ISIS/ISIL/IS and the like beheading and killing Christian martyrs. Babylon (U.S.) doesn't get destroyed until the 7th Bowl. Rev. 16:19. I do believe that by putting the destruction of Babylon at the 4th seal and before the 7 Trumpets and 7 Bowls and before the rapture, 144,000 and two witnesses would be taking things out of the timeline of revelation and putting it in somewhere else which is forbidden in Rev 22:18-19. *WARNING FROM GOD* So the seals, 5th seal being now, 6th seal being the Abomination of Desolation on the temple fortress (WESTERN WALL ending daily prayers) and Rapture. Thus the multitude in heaven from every nation. The 144,000 Jews have the Seal of God and the two Witnesses (Elijah and Enoch) began witnessing. The trumpets take place, the witnesses are killed by the Antichrist and the 7th trumpet concludes the Two Witnesses. The mark of the beast is then made an option, thus the rest of the 144,000 elect and others are killed, they are blessed by the Mark of the Beast because it shortens their days, because the Bowls are next. During this time the wedding feast of the Lamb is taking place, up until the point in time when Jesus goes down for Armageddon with his followers.
ReplyDeleteI must apologize, but my research does not vindicate your scenario. Which does NOT mean that I have found truth!
ReplyDeleteBut the facts that have been opened to this mind simply do not appear to support your conclusions.
But thank you so very much for reading, and perhaps one day we can ALL be led into the SINGULAR truth where there is no place for conjecture! May God bless!
