In this week’s study, I continue in Chapter 14 finishing up with 14. Before I begin I go into this study I was again go into a rant on some of the current events that affected our daily life. I talk about the elementary school that hired as drag queen as their principal, some covid news and the dark state of the new world order.
The Fifth Vision "On Earth"
14:6-20
The Six Angels and the Son of Man
The Fifth Vision in heaven is very brief. It is another Episode, telling us of those who will have come through the great Tribulation, and have been caught up to Heaven.
It is part of the larger Episode, and is parenthetical. The previous vision on Earth has told us of those who were slain because they refused to worship the Beast or receive his mark. Those who were for death, had been killed; and those who were to be kept alive, have been kept alive (13:10). The worshippers of the Beast received his mark; and those who refused to take the mark of the beast, BUT received the mark of the Lamb (Yahshua Messiah) and of His Father in their foreheads.
Remember as we start this Chapter that as Christians, we have that Seal of Yahweh within us (Rev. 9:4). So keep your utmost faith in Yahweh and know His Word.
Once again as we continue in this Chapter 14, we must remember that at this time there is total chaos on earth. Satan now realizes that after the resurrection of the 2 witnessess that the 7th trumpet is now blowing and the 3rd Woe is about to begin.
Sickle = This is the judicial sentence of separation, which cannot by any means whatever be avoided. For we are within it, whithersoever we attempt to flee, for whatsoever is enclosed by the sickle falls within it.
We have not only a sickle in his hand, but we see that there is a white cloud that the Son of Man is sitting on. Throughout the Word of Yahweh white clouds are symbolic of majestic glory. And notice he has a golden crown on his head. This is a stefanos crown worn by victorious generals, worn by victorious athletes, not the diadema worn by kings. This is very important for you to understand.
The prophet Daniel saw this as well in Daniel 7 and verse 13 and 14. There we read:
Dan 7:13 I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.
Dan 7:14 And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
The difference between Yahweh’s Judgment and Yahweh’s Wrath
One thing we must keep in mind is that the word “tribulation” used throughout the Book of Revelation and the New Testament is the Greek word “thlipsis” and it can be used to describe “trials, afflictions, persecutions, troubles and a sense of being pressed down.” It is used frequently in the New Testament for Christians persevering under trials, persecution, martyrdom and afflictions and also for the breakdown of society leading to chaos. (Matthew 24:21-22) It also describes wars, rumours of wars, famines, earthquakes and disease. (Matthew 24:7-22) Yahweh allows tribulation (thlipsis) to perfect the saints (Romans 5:3) (Acts 14:22) and to bring judgement to the spiritually wayward and wicked in order to bring them back to repentance and reconciliation with Himself. His judgements are in the earth to do this. (Isaiah 26:9)
