Trumpet #1
The 1st Trumpet – the dragon
O/T Time – The generations from Abraham to David: God’s oath foretold Abraham’s ‘seed’ would become slaves in a strange land. In the midst of these generations, the LORD called Israel out of Egypt, and gave them the ‘Covenant of the Law.‘ Israel’s sojourn in Canaan was conditional on keeping this Law, but in time, ‘Moses rod’ was cast down.
From God’s testimony fallen in his priesthood, came judges, and from them kings.
The Dividing of Time – The fire, blood, and hail cast down to earth, in the 1st Trumpet; is the ‘Covenant of the Law’ given to Israel in Moses time. In the Book of Revelation, this Covenant is portrayed as ‘a dragon cast to earth.’ The green things destroyed, reveal the desecration of those parts in the Law, that speak of the LORD’s Christ; of his sabbaths, times of release, and restoration.
The sabbath’s and tenants of release memorialised in the LORD’s feasts of passover and unleavened bread… rejected and forsaken.
N/T Times – Revelation 1-7: The Sabbath’s and times, from the voices of the seven Church Angel Messages, which declare a falling away from faith, Balaam’s idolatry, and men’s rule over men. To the antichrist spirit in this error, set loose in the seven Seals. A ‘falling away’ repeated in every generation from the Apostles until now. Which times begin in those like Peter, who at Pentecost declared; ‘Jesus is both LORD and Christ.’ And within a generation ended in those ‘called out Christian’s,’ who having turned back to Moses Law, sought to murder Paul in Jerusalem; for preaching Christ’s Law of Liberty.
Jesus faith forsaken…
