THUNDER FOUR:

Re 11: 15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever. 

16 And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God, 

17 saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.

 18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.

 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 lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.

Ok here we have that FOURTH THUNDER.

I have taken a long way in getting here. But this will be a very late STUDY.  It is really more than a message.  This is a study.  So if you want to get into this truth, you will have to really do some studying of this.  But so what……  I have been studying for more years than I can remember to get to this.  I have had no one to show me even one step of the way.  At least, you now have the fruit of my long years of studying.  But don’t get me wrong, I am glad that it came to me this way.  I am glad I have studied to get this.  I am thankful that my  God has blessed me with this great truth.

See that the seventh trumpet angel has now sounded and it proved that it was truth, that the resurrection would happen at the last trump, as Paul said in both his books.  At this seventh trumpet, the dead are raised and rewarded for their works.  Jesus has taken his power and hast reigned.  This made the nations angry, and so now his wrath has come.  He will now destroy those who destroyed the earth.  It is under this thunder that those dead witnesses were raised back to life.  They were again given the power from on high to do the mighty works of God…… so they were caught up to heaven.  Does not mean they left this earth.  It means they are back into the heavenly power of God, his world.  So the raising to life of those ‘dead’ witnesses, means that anointing of that second witness, with the Baptism of Fire.  This equips them to bring the wrath of the Lamb on this world, and to possess the Kingdom.  Thus the kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord and His Christ.  We are His Christ, or his ANOINTED ONES.

Under this seventh trumpet, that fourth THUNDER sounds.  It again brings voices, (many people speaking out the message of God), the lightings and the earthquakes.  It announces the wrath of Almighty God coming.  The temple of God is Christ, his Body or Church.  It is now open and will bring forth the works of Christ.  This has been happening since Jesus began his ministry.  ALL OF THESE THUNDERS SOUND UNDER THAT FIRST ONE.

Notice verse 18, it mentions the WRATH is come, and the TIME OF THE DEAD, and giving the rewards to the saints of God, proving that this is fitting with what was already shown, that the second witness, at the end of time, brings the WRATH and also in their time, the resurrection occurs.  So this is proof that this is the right interpretation.  It also proves that the second witness is anointed under this fourth thunder.

It just takes a lot of time to tell it all, but it all happened simultaneously down through time.  It is not a ’sequence’ of events, one after another, etc.  It may look that way, as you read it.  But it is not that way.  He speaks of one event, then another one, sometimes swings back to the first one, telling different parts of it as he goes along.  It just cannot be all told in one sentence, story-book fashion.

Chapter twelve, as I have already explained, goes back to the beginning, with the birth of the man child.  Jesus was the beginning of that ‘woman’ in travail.  He is the one who births children into the kingdom of God.  So it is really all about him.  he is upon MANY WATERS.  He is upon each true Christian, so we are all included in this woman-manchild.  Chapter 13tells about the beasts kingdom of Satan.  it is from the beginning of time to the end.  It is all covered there, and I am not going to go into that in this study.  It would be too much.
