~~ Seventh thunder ~~
Re 19:1 And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God:
Re 19:2 For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand. Re 19:3 And again they said, Alleluia. And her smoke rose up for ever and ever. Re 19:4 And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia. Re 19:5 And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great.
Re 19:6 And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.
Re 19:7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. Re 19:8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. Re 19:9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.
This is the only one of the thunders which is not accompanied with lightening and earthquakes. Why? Because under this thunder God completes his work of destroying the wicked off this earth and the marriage of the Lamb comes. There is no more need for the enlightenments which come with the lightening nor for the fear which comes with the earthquakes. Under this thunder is only glory, not destruction. This thunder announces the marriage of the Lamb. This occurs after God has destroyed Mystery Babylon, under that sixth thunder. In this thunder also shows the Lord God, which is Jesus, reigning in full power over this earth. Jesus now smites the nations and sets up his kingdom on earth. The beast, which is that old law system of the Old Testament and its rulers/people, and the false prophet, which is the old Church system of the New Testament, with is also the image of that old beast, gathered together to make war against Jesus and his army.
See that old group came against Jesus and crucified him. Then that old image, the corrupt church, came in. At the end of that age, when this seventh Thunder is sounding they are gathered together. How is this? It is in that the corrupt church has taken up that old law system of priests and loving man-made buildings instead of the true worship of God. They are both in this last group which comes out against Jesus in this final battle before the thousand years reign of Christ on this earth. The false church has fully gone back to law and trampled the grace and blood of Jesus, so they are the beast and the image of the beast, the false prophet. It is all in this one group. That group, which is on the earth at the second return of Jesus, is then cast into the lake of fire.
At this time Satan is bound up in that old bottomless pit, which is nothing but that old harlot church. They are now shut up and allowed to speak no more to deceive the nations anymore, until the thousand years is finished. After that the old spirit of Satan will come up again, in the group which will be alive on earth at that time, after the thousand years, and go out and again deceive a great number against Christ. That will be the eight head of that old beast. It will be made up of those seven who were before them, in the old testament and the new testament churches. This group will come up out of that old harlot system one more time.
When that group of the eight head comes up against the people of God, who have ruled this earth in peace for the thousand years, God will send fire down from heaven and devour them.
Then the devil which deceived them will be cast into that lake of fire where the beast and the false prophet already are. That beast is that law system group of haters of God from the Old Testament era. The false prophet is the image of the beast, which is that same old wicked spirit against God, in the churches. Those two were destroyed at the beginning of the thousand years. At the end of the thousand years, that old spirit of Satan is loosed one more time. He then deceives the people of that age and go to war against the Christ who has ruled the earth in peace. This is the Gog and Magog spoken about in Eze and Rev. 20.
We see all through Revelation and the rest of the Word of God that the old testament beast or those who hated God, and killed the prophets of God, and the image of the beast, the false church, which killed the Saints of God, are spoken of together. That fourth horse rider was death and hell. Death here is that old testament beast. Hell is that new testament image of that beast, the false church. So at the final judgment those found in that ‘death’ covenant, (OT rebels), and the ‘hell’ group, (NT rebels) stand before God to receive their final judgment and punishment. All of this occurs under that seventh, or final Thunder. See that death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. That is everyone from both groups who disobeyed God. They are the death and hell.
So we see that in Revelation 20, the binding of that old harlot church, with the spirit of Satan is shut up. The resurrection of the sleeping saints are then resurrected and given judgment and the power to reign for the thousand years. We see those who did not worship the beast. That is the Old Testament faithful. And we see those who did not worship the image of the beast. That is the New Testament faithful. That is why I said we see both these groups all through Revelation and the Word of God. They are joined together here into one Holy City. The Old Testament faithful make up the gates of this City. The Apostles and their faithful saints are the foundation and the walls of the Holy City, the Bride of Christ.
He now joins them and this is the marriage of the Lamb, as they together take over the kingdoms of this world and rule it in righteousness. Chapter 20 of Rev. covers the time from when Satan is shut up in that whore church, at the beginning of the reign of Christ until that ends and Satan is loosed one more time and deceives that great host at the end of the thousand years. Then that last battle and God send them all into the lake of fire. So chapter 20 covers over a thousand years. Perhaps 1500 years or more. All of this is still under that seventh thunder. There are no more thunders after this one sounds. It is the final one.
After God sends all of the rebellious group, at the end of the thousand years, into the lake of fire, then the new heaven and new earth are brought in. This Holy City is made up of all people who ever served God. It will be the most glorious event of all time or eternity. This Holy City is the Bride of Christ Jesus. It is described in chapter 21. Then in chapter 22 we see the pure river of water of life come into its fullness. On either side of this river was the tree of life. This is what Daniel 12: 5 is about. Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood other two, the one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river.
See the other two, one on each side of the bank of the river is those trees of life in Rev. 22. This is showing that in the beginning before the fall of man, that tree of life was there. But after the fall of man, it does not show back up until Jesus has his Bride on the New Earth. Now that tree of life will never be forsaken again. What glory! The curse which went over the earth will now be done away with forever. No more curse! Glory!
Now I want to show you a few places where we can prove that this Babylon covers both the Old Testament law folks and the New Testament church folks.
Re 18:20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.
Re 18:24 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.
See here we have both groups of God’s people, the holy prophets, (OT), and the apostles, (NT). Verse 24, blood of prophets, (OT), and saints, (NT). So old Babylon is from both the old testament and the new testament. That old group is that beast, the seven headed beast with the ten horns. It was that old law system with its ten commandments. The harlot church then made an image to this old beast.
Re 10:7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.
Here we see that when the seventh angel sounds everything which God gave to the prophets, his servants, will be finished. Now I am telling you, people have sorely misinterpreted this verse and made havoc of God’s truth. This is saying that at the sounding of this seventh trumpet, everything which is prophesied in the OT Prophets will be fulfilled. This does not include the events of the New Testament. It was only then begun. In this event, Jesus was crucified. It ended the age of the servants, the prophets. Now the words of the Apostles must run their course.
Re 10:2 And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth,
Jesus set his left foot on the earth. What is that? The earth is that carnal church. Out of this came the beast with the two horns, the false prophet, which is the image of the first beast before it. He set his right foot on the sea. That is the masses of unsaved from the OT. So his two witnesses brought a close to both these groups of rebels. Not until he had finished with both feet, or ministers, did time come to an end. After both groups finish their witnessing, the old servant, the Prophets, and the NT Apostles/saints, then the end comes. So the two feet are these two groups of minister, the OT Prophets and the NT Apostles. So again we see both groups together in these prophecies.
Re 11:10 And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.
See that both groups or ministers are here also. These two groups of ministers, the Old Prophets, and the New Apostles, tormented those that dwell on the earth, which is the flesh. Those in the hypocrite group. Both these groups of God’s servants tormented all who live in the flesh, disobeying God. So they set up Xmess junk to celebrate the death of the two witnesses, and pretend it is the birth of Jesus.
Re 11:18 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.
Now see that at the resurrection, both of these groups are present. He gives reward unto his servants the prophets. These are the OT Prophets. The saints are those of the NT Church, the true Church. So both groups are resurrected here, together and given dominion over this earth. This is at the end of the three and half days. Live enters again into the people of God.
Re 16:5 And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus. Re 16:6 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.
See here that both groups are together. They shed the blood of saints, (NT), and the prophets, (OT).
All of these things in Scripture, especially Revelation, happened on the other side of the flood. So they had a full time of these same events. As we learn how these things will be for us, we can see more fully how it was then. Also the things we know about then, will help us to understand more of how it will be with us. Jesus proved this when he said, As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be in the days of the Son of Man. As it was then, so shall it be now. So then, as it is now, so was it then. This is true for the entire word of God. As I read things about people who lived this side of the flood, it reveals things to me of those who lived on the other side. That is one way of learning more about Adam and Eve or any others, such as Cain/Judas. They run together.
Adam is Satan and Eve is the Christ. Abel was also Christ. So as we learn about each of these, it reveals the other. Unless God shows you this, you will not believe it or see it.
Those seven days in Genesis one, covers all of this. The thunders happened all down through time and then in the end of time. On the other side of the flood, the thunders sounded, the seals happened, the trumpets and vial all went out to those people. Those who served God were the servants and handmaids. They were saved and the others were lost. After Jesus died, they were then given a chance, as he preached to them in hell.
Adam was the head of that age. Satan was Adam’s carnal mind. He ruled over the people in wrath and cruelty. He brought them under law, so that seven headed beast rose up out of that sea, then. It persecuted the woman who brought forth the manchild. Eve was the Mother of this group. She is the one who had to flee into the wilderness away from the face of this serpent. She and those who worshiped the true God with her, were persecuted by that beast, Adam and his followers. It was exactly the same then as it is now. The very same Scriptures which apply to us, apply to them also. So what I am trying to show you is that the full thing ran its course before that flood. That age ended with the judgments of God coming against them and saving the righteous few. That flood ended that age. But during that time, those seven thunders had sounded.
The gospel had been preached to them, the same as to us. Everyone who refused it was lost. God set stars in their firmament, same as ours. Abel was one of them. Eve was one of them. Seth and Noah and others were those stars in the firmament giving light upon their earth. The stars in our firmament was the Apostles. Then it goes to those who pick up the true message and carry it to the world. These will all shine forth as the brightness of the stars forever.
But after that age ended, then a total new age starts and it being anew. Nothing of our time will include them. I mean the beast of the old testament does not include them. They have finished their course. They had a law group and a grace group. We had that old law group and we have a grace group. So to teach it now, we must begin this side of the flood. I am just showing you that it also ran a world then, which also fits all of the scripture. I know this sound confusing. Only God can reveal it to you. I know what I see, but do not know exactly how to explain it so you can see it.
What I am saying is that Genesis one is about the life of Jesus Christ. But it also shows what happened then. The Old Testament ran its course and finished at the time of Jesus’ death. So the thunders sounded then, for them. The judgments struck that old covenant then. When Jesus died, that old covenant was done away with. But the false church brought it right back up again. It will be brought back up again, after the thousand years is finished.
So God was working during the age before the flood. He worked for six days. During this time he worked to make a perfect world. I am not going into all of that now. It would take too much for this one message. But what I want to show you is when Jesus Christ was resurrected, that ended God’s sixth work day. God had made a man, Jesus Christ, in the likeness and glory of God, at his resurrection. God beget Jesus. God taught Jesus. God resurrected Jesus. God then gave Jesus the place on God’s throne to be God and to work to bring others into the likeness of them. Then GOD RESTED.
Now that is what I am trying to show you. God’s work was finished when he resurrected Jesus and set him up on the throne of God and gave Jesus all power in heaven and earth. Now Jesus is the one working. Jesus is working to bring I a perfect world. Jesus begets sons of God. Jesus will resurrect us into their likeness. Then his six working days will end, and he will enter into his SEVENTH DAY REST.
God seventh thunder sounded when he raised Jesus from the dead. Jesus’ seventh thunder will sound when he raises us from the dead. So what then? The thousand years will begin and we will enter our six working days! Glory. We will be running things during that thousand years. We will be the Christ, the anointed of Jesus. We will then be given the same power he has. We will work to make another perfect world. We will teach during the thousand years. We will be ruling on the throne of Jesus. He said to the overcomers in the Church, he will grant us to sit with him in his throne, as he over came and sat with God on his throne. See that power is handed down each time. God gave it to Jesus. Then Jesus will give it to us. That we may be one with them. That we may enter into that same rest.
We will then be the anointed covering. We will then work to bring in a world of sons of God. For a thousand years we will labour to bring in another group of sons of God. Jesus will be resting. At the end of that time, Satan will come up again and deceive a great host and they will go out to war against us. It will all repeat again. The seven thunders will sound during that time. Then God will devour them and it will all be over. It will be perfected then. At the last judgment all of those who rebelled against God will be given their punishment and sent into the lake of fire.
Then the New Heaven and New earth will be forever. There will be not more sea, no more groups or rebels. We will then all be one great perfect kingdom. Jesus will then give the kingdom back up to God and we will all be one great happy kingdom, under God. My, what glory!
I know there is more to this, but right now that is what I have on it. When Jesus died, it closed out the OT and started the NT. See? They then had their judgment and wrath was poured out on them. Those who could see what God was doing, fled to the mountains, the Apostles, for safety. Those who did not see what God was doing, fled to the dens and caves. This is the church system, making an image to that old beast of the OT Law Babylon.
The woman, then, fled into the wilderness where she was fed by the NT ministers. This is the time period known as the thousand two hundred and sixty days. This first fleeing was ‘on foot’. But the next time the woman flees, she flies. This time she is given two wings of the eagle. This will be the time of the resurrection. Let me show you.
Mt 24:1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to show him the buildings of the temple.
Mt 24:2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
Mt 24:3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
Mt 24:4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
Mt 24:5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
Mt 24:6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. Mt 24:7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
Mt 24:8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
You cannot teach this without this in Matt. 24. Notice first, Jesus was speaking about that natural temple in Jerusalem. But it symbolizes that old law covenant. He said not one stone will be left upon another which shall not be thrown down. He was speaking spiritual here. He was saying that he would throw down those old stones of law and bring in grace. He departed from the temple, but his disciples had those building on their minds. They were still carnal minded at this point. They asked about two things. The sign of his coming and of the end of the world. The first think, many would come in his name saying, I am Christ and shall deceive many. He told of the kingdom against kingdom. But he said all of these are the beginning of sorrows.
It was back then, not down here. It was to the OT group. They saw the ones claiming to be Christ. That was the beginning of sorrows, then. So all of that was for then, to them. That was to the group fleeing from the OT falling system.
Mt 24:11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
This was the OT false prophets. They rose up and deceived many. He is still speaking to those of the old covenant, back then. He was speaking only to them, then. He is leading them up to the fall of the Old Testament and showing them what to do in that time; how to get into the New Testament!
Mt 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
He showed them there that the end would not come in their day. It would not come until after the gospel of the kingdom has been preached in all the world.
Mt 24:15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
Mt 24:16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
When they see the abomination of desolation. What is that? What made them desolate? Who? Those of the OT covenant. Old Jerusalem. What made them desolate?
Mt 24:17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: Mt 24:18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
Mt 24:19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! Mt 24:20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
Mt 24:21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
Mt 24:22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
I am not going to enlarge this, for it is long. You can hold down ctrl and roll you mouse scroll forward and it will enlarge for you.
