Trumpet #4
The 4th Trumpet – the abomination
O/T Time: On the fourth day of creation, the LORD set the lights of heaven in their order to divide the day from the night, and to separate his seasons and times. At an appointed time, the LORD told Jeremiah; he would forgive Israel their sin, and write his law within their hearts. And compared the ‘Covenant of his promise,’ to the ordinances of; the sun, the moon, and the stars. And warned, if those ordinances departed; Israel would cease to be a nation forever. So it is, the ‘Israel of God exist in God’s Word,’ and not the flesh.
The light of God’s ordinances
The Dividing of Time – The third parts of the moon, the sun and the stars being darkened, in the 4th Trumpet, reveal an ‘Israel’ who have forsaken the LORD’S Christ; the Word of His Salvation bound in the Law, his Gospel and Spirit. Covenants declared in His Christ, in the dispensations of; the Father, the Son and the Spirit. The third parts of the day, and the night not shining, speak of the revelation of the LORD and His Christ, hidden from men.
Hidden from an Israel blind to the commandment; God is One LORD. (Deut 6:4) And deaf to the voice proclaiming; the Promised Son is the Everlasting Father. (Isaiah 9:6) And opposed to the truth; Jesus is both the Father & Son. (John 14:7) In those ‘multitudes from all nations,’ promised Abraham, the light of God’s Ordinances, have long ceased to shine.
When Daniel saw the first three, of ten horns torn from the Beast, and replaced with a horn of blasphemy; he saw Jesus Testament in the Ten Commandments, savaged and replaced with creeds like the trinity. When the Angel told Daniel the mystery of these things would be opened in the end-time, he spoke of the revelation; JESUS: is He who was, and who is, and who is to come, the LORD God Almighty. And of an Israel, gathered to this truth… for they which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed…
Christ’s testimony in the ordinances of the moon, the sun and stars…
N/T Times: In Revelation 12, two wonders appear in heaven. First a woman, who stands upon the moon, is clothed with the sun, and crowned with twelve stars. ‘She’ is symbolic of those Covenants that join JESUS to His Church. Of His Christ in those tenants of release, that call out a church in bondage to the Law. Whose Gospel clothes those who believe He is the ‘Existing One’ Moses wrote of. And whose Spirit of Promise crowns those who believe; JESUS is both LORD and Christ. (Acts 2:36)
We observe too a dragon, which ‘beast’ personifies a spirit in the Law that opposes Christ. A spirit that manifested in those who demanded Christ die. Which antichrist spirit ever hunts the seed of the ‘True Covenant,’ carried on eagles wings into the wilderness; for a time, and times and the dividing of time. To destroy the testimony of Jesus, and the Commandments of God, in those who believe.
The Covenants of the LORD’S Christ – in the Law, his Gospel, and Spirit…
