(Second Half) The Greatest Events in the History of the Universe – The first resurrection and the return of Jesus Christ (Feast of Pentecost): [support us]
(First Half): [support us]

The seven Churches equal the seven weeks of time from the Wave Sheaf Offering—the resurrected Christ going to the Father in heaven—until Pentecost. So, in Rev. 4 we find a type of the 50th Day, because John, in vision, sees the Throne of God! The only one who saw part of it before was Isaiah in vision. So, here in vision, John is going to see it again. Notice how it’s introduced.

Revelation 4:1: “After these things I looked, and behold, a door opened in heaven; and the first voice that I heard was as if a trumpet were speaking with me…”—a trumpet! What is blown on Pentecost? A trumpet!

Revelation 5:1: “And in the right hand of Him Who sits on the Throne I saw a book… [a scroll] …written within and on the back, which had been sealed with seven seals.

We find that Jesus Christ was the only One qualified to open the seven seals (Rev. 5), and that nothing on earth is going to be done concerning the Scriptures—that we’re going to read now forward in the book of Revelation—are going to be enacted unless Jesus Christ opens the seals at the command of God the Father. He’s the only One to open them, no one else can!

Sidebar: I was watching TBN—I keep up on that just once in a while—and here’s someone saying that the fifth seal has already been opened. No, it hasn’t! I might ask:

Where is the King of the North?
Where is the King of the South?
Now let’s see what happens when this occurs (the opening of the 7 seals); let’s see what a thing this is going to be. Remember that everything that takes place from here on out are going to be major events leading up to the resurrection of the saints and the return of Jesus Christ. Then the return of Christ with all the saints back to the earth.

Everything leads to that! There are some inset chapters that tell us how these things develop, but it flows one after the other beginning with the seven seals.

Verse 7: “And He came and took the book out of the right hand of Him Who sits on the Throne. And when He took the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having harps and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. And they…” (vs 7-9)—the saints, not the 24 elders!

A lot of people get that mixed up and say that the 24 elders sing the song. NO! “…the saints. And they…”

“…sang a new song, saying, ‘Worthy are You to take the book, and to open its seals because You were slain, and did redeem us to God…” (v 9).

The 24 elders didn’t need to be redeemed. The four living creatures didn’t need to be redeemed. But we, the saints, do!

“…by Your own blood, out of every tribe and language and people and nation, and did make us unto our God kings and priests; and we shall reign on the earth'” (vs 9-10). That’s not the 24 elders!

It’s interesting how easily some people mis-read that.

Verse 11: “And I saw and I heard the voices of many angels around the Throne, and the voices of the living creatures and the elders, and thousands of thousands.”

So, when these are opened up, there’s going to be a lot of activity at the Throne of God!

Verse 12: “Saying with a loud voice, ‘Worthy is the Lamb Who was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory and blessing.'”

I don’t know how v 13 is going to work, but it’s going to be done just like He says:

Verse 13: “And every creature that is in heaven… [everything that God has made, all of the angels and whatever else is there] …and on the earth, and under the earth, and those that are on the sea, and all the things in them…”

Think about that! I wonder how an elephant is going to do it on land, and how a whale is going to do it in the oceans?

“…I heard saying, ‘To Him Who sits on the Throne… [God the Father] …and to the Lamb, be blessing, and honor, and glory, and sovereignty into the ages of eternity.’ And the four living creatures said, ‘Amen.’ And the twenty-four elders fell down and worshiped Him Who lives into the ages of eternity” (vs 13-14). Quite a thing!

First Seal—One-world religion

There are many events taking place today. One of the major events that is taking place on a big scale is the events described in the first seal.

So, it’s very likely that the first seal has already been opened. The mission of the first seal is going on, but it’s taking place like a natural thing on earth. That is the bringing of all religions together.

Revelation 6 …see transcript link above.
