As were the days of Noah...
Sin
continued up to
the very day
Noah
entered the ark,
so
sin
will continue up
to the day of
the second
coming of
Yeshua/Christ.
The
prophetic parallels
between our time
and the days of
Noah
The Bible
indicates God
has established
specific times
and seasons that
unlock the
mystery of
prophetic time. When these
prophetic
indicators
become complete,
or full, then
Yeshua/Christ
will return! The
fullness of time
will climax when
certain
pre-determined
prophetic signs are fulfilled during the life span of one generation. We are
the generation
living at the
climax of the
end of the age!
We are also in a
great need how
to discern the
times; having an
understanding &
discernment for
the revealing
the invisible
side of
prophecy. Exploring
incredible
patterns of
prophecy, and having an understanding for what happens when God avenges
the blood of the
innocent.(During
tribulation) We
need to have a
discerning where
we are headed
prophetically in
the Last Days!
Being aware of a
future rise of
the
Islamic crescent! |

4:1 |
1
After this I
looked, and,
behold, a
door
was
opened in
Heaven: and the
first voice
which I heard
was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said,
Come
up hither, and I
will shew thee
things which
must be
hereafter.
(KJV)
AFTER THIS I
looked, and
behold,
a door
standing open in
Heaven! And the
first voice
which I had
heard addressing
me like [the
calling of] a
war
trumpet
said,
Come up
here, and I will
show you what
must take place
in the
future.

Heavenly Worship
This
portrays the
rightful place
of
Yeshua/Christ as
head of the
church and
ministry.
After this the gates of the Heavenly Temple were open for the worshippers! In Chapter 4 John is caught up into Heaven as the door of Heaven open! This transition from chapter 3 to Chapter 4 is triggered by the rapture (Revelation 4:1) (the great assembly of the righteous saints)! 19 And the temple of God was opened in Heaven, and there was seen in his temple the Ark of His testament: and there were lightning's, and voices, and thundering's, and an earthquake, and great hail.

If you knew the Lord Yeshua Messiah was returning tomorrow, what would you do?
Would your daily life-style change? Would your priorities
rearrange themselves? Are your
sins you would be eager to confess? Changes you would make?
People you would want to warn? ......Get your heart right with
G-D ... "Lord
Yeshua; ... !"
Are you willing to challenge yourself in areas you would
want to change if
Yeshua/ Christ were returning in the next coming days? Are you? Are you
really making action-plans to prepare yourself for the assembly
of the "righteous un-compromising saints"
and to meet
Yeshua? If you knew the
Lord Yeshua Messiah
was returning tomorrow, what would you do; are you
prepared and ready?
For the
Lord Himself
will descend
from Heaven with
a loud cry of
summons, with
the shout of an
archangel, and
with the blast
of the trumpet
{Shofar-*} of
G-D. And those
who have
departed this
life in
Yeshua
Messiah/Christ
will rise first.
(Revelation
20:4) Then we,
the living ones
who remain [on
the earth],
shall
simultaneously
be caught up
along with [the
resurrected
dead] in the
clouds to meet
the
Lord
in the air
Revelation
20:5); and so
always (through
the eternity of
the eternities)
we shall be with
the
Lord!
Therefore
comfort {and}
encourage one
another with
these words. (1
Thessalonians
4:16-18

2 And immediately I was in
the Spirit: and, behold, a Throne was
set in Heaven,
and One sat
on the Throne.
(KJV)
At once I came under the
[Holy] Spirit's power, and behold, a Throne stood in Heaven, with One seated on
the Throne!

3
And he that sat
was to look upon
like a jasper
and a sardine
stone: and
there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto
an emerald.
(KJV)
And He Who sat
there appeared
like [the
crystalline
brightness of]
jasper and [the
fiery] sardius,
and encircling
the throne there
was a halo that
looked like [a
rainbow of]
emerald.

How great the
condescension of
G-D and His
compassion for
His erring
creatures in
thus placing the
beautiful
rainbow in
the clouds as a
token of
His
covenant
with
men! The Lord
declares that
when He looks
upon the bow, He
will remember
His covenant.
This does not
imply that He
would ever
forget; but He
speaks to us in
our own
language, that
we may better
understand Him.
It was G-D's
purpose that as
the children of
after
generations
should ask the
meaning of the
glorious arch
which spans the
heavens, their
parents should
repeat the story
of the Flood,
and tell them
that the Most
High had bended
the bow and
placed it in the
clouds as an
assurance that
the waters
should never
again overflow
the earth. Thus
from generation
to generation it
would testify of
Divine
love to man and
would strengthen
his confidence
in G-D! |

4 And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and
twenty elders
sitting, clothed
in white
raiment; and
they had on
their heads
crowns of gold.
(KJV)
Twenty-four other
thrones
surrounded the
throne, and
seated on these
thrones were

And out of the
throne proceeded
lightnings and
thunderings and
voices: and
there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which
are the seven
Spirits of God.
(KJV)
Out from the
throne came
flashes of
lightning and
rumblings and
peals of
thunder, and in
front of the
throne seven
blazing torches
burned, which
are the seven
Spirits of God
[the sevenfold
Holy Spirit];

6 And before the throne
there was
a sea of glass
like unto

the midst of the
throne, and
round about the
throne,
were four
'beasts' full of
eyes before and
behind.

before and at
the rear of
them].

8 And the four 'beasts' had each of them six wings about
him; and
they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night,
saying, Holy,
holy, holy, Lord
God Almighty,
which was, and
is, and is to
come.
(KJV)
And the four living creatures, individually having six
wings, were full
of eyes all over
and within
[underneath
their wings];
and day and

Almighty

things, and for
Thy pleasure
they are and
were created.

You created all
things; by Your
will they were

created.
