In the sowing of the Genesis seeds, when God Almighty confirmed His Oath to Abraham, God had him divide three beasts and passed a ‘smoking furnace and burning lamp,’ through their midst. And told Abraham, those “multitudes” descended from the ‘Son of Promise,’ would go into bondage, and suffer great affliction. And spoke not only of Isaac’s seed, but of Christs. Ezekiel too saw this Oath as “burning coals of fire, and burning lamps,” that passed up and down in the midst of those living creatures.
And as Israel’s ‘Four Tribal Brigades,’ carried the Ark of the Covenant in their midst, from Sinai, to the Land Promised Abraham’s flesh. So Ezekiel saw Gods ‘Living Oath’ in the midst of ‘Four Gospel Beasts,’ bear JESUS Salvation to the seed of Abraham’s Faith in the nations.
To recap; the 1st Seal, the 1st Church Angel Message, and Matthew 24:4-5: bear witness of the antichrist spirit seeking to pervert JESUS Faith in us. Hence the rebuke to those who leave their first love. And JESUS warning, that many false-christs would come in his name. Which antichrists in the Apostles days, denied Christ is both the Father and Son.
If we have fallen here, then let us repent, that we may eat from the Tree of Life.
The 2nd SEAL:
And there went out a red horse: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth and that they should kill one another: and there was given to him a great sword. (Revelation
The 2nd Church Angel Message:
I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, but are of the synagogue of Satan… Behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that you may be tried; and you shall have tribulation ten days: (Revelation 2:8-11)
JESUS Gospel Witness
(Matthew 24:6) And you shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that you be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
To judge one another
This Seals ‘great sword,’ is the LORD’S “Covenant of Peace,” and I come to it shortly. This Seal reveals men turning back to the Law, to judge, and condemn one another. The Church Angels’ reference to the ‘Jews of Satan’s Synagogue,’ are like those who having received Christ at Pentecost, later demanded Paul die for preaching we are saved by grace, and not the works of the law. Which Angel revealed this spirit, saying; the devil shall cast some into prison. Which bondage and its tribulation sit in the Law.
In the Gospels, the wars, and rumours of wars Jesus spoke of, dovetails into this Seal, which declares the antichrist takes peace from the earth. But this peace, is not the peace men understand. But rather, this is God Almighty’s Covenant of Peace, which is to believe; JESUS is both LORD and Christ. For in this Holy Place, all His Prophets, Commandments and Gospel, reconcile as one. This is the Peace, JESUS gives Satan power, to remove in us.
If we have fallen here, let us repent, that we may not taste the second death; the death of our souls.
The 3rd Seal:
And lo a black horse; and he that sat upon him had a pair of balances in his hand. And a voice in the midst of the four beasts said, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see you hurt not the oil and the wine. (Revelation 6:5-6)
The 3rd Church Angel Message:
These things says he which has the sharp sword with two edges; I know where Satan’s seat is:… You have those who hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols. So you also have them, that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate. (Revelation 2:12-17)
JESUS Gospel Witness:
(Matthew 24:7) For nation shall rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences and earthquakes, in divers places.
Men’s doctrines & traditions
Now the ‘two-edged sword,’ is not the ‘great sword’ referred to in the 2nd Seal. This two-edged sword divides between life and death, good and evil, blessing and cursing. And its dividing is the judgement in the law.
JESUS Angel in the church, reveals the idolatry of ‘Balaam’s teachings,’ that plagued Israel in the wilderness. And worse the rise of the Nicolaitan spirit, that first saw Israel desire a king reign over them. And this error abides in us, when we submit to church teachings that forsake JESUS government.
JESUS too in Matthew, warned that nation would rise against nation, and spoke of an Israel born of the flesh, usurping an Israel born of the Spirit. And of a Law in our flesh that seeks to destroy JESUS Liberty in us. Which “Serpent” in Eden, hated Eve’s seed. And which Serpent in Revelation wars with the ‘Woman’s seed’ who keep Jesus Testimony and Commandments. Satan’s Seat abides in the Law.
In this Seal; in the buying and selling of the wheat and barley, we see those sacrifices made under the Law, and glimpse the ‘mark of the beast.’ And while the wheat and barley both represent the ‘bread of Gods Word,’ the three measures of barley that speak of Christs’ Sacrifice, weigh less in the minds of those who are justified by their own deeds.
Understand too, that barley in the context of the Law, was offered up by a jealous husband, to expose a wife’s adultery. And its use in this seal winks at the “image of jealousy,” Daniel and Ezekiel saw. (Numbers 5:15)
In this Seal, JESUS Sacrifice is esteemed less, than those things we abstain from. And while the antichrist as yet cannot hurt the ‘oil and the wine.’ And while the Anointed blood of Christ’s grace yet remains on the altar; JESUS Angel reveals the idolatry in our church teachings, and their ‘images of jealousy,’ that will soon replace the Messiah’s sacrifice.
If we have fallen here, then let us repent; To him that overcomes will JESUS give to eat of the hidden bread, and a new name written, which no man knows saving he that receives it.
The 4th Seal:
Behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given to them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.(Revelation 6:7-8)
The 4th Church Angel Message:
You suffer that woman Jezebel which calls herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed to idols. Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into Great Tribulation, except they repent. And I will kill her children with death: (Revelation 2:18-29)
JESUS Gospel Witness
(Matthew 24:8) All these are the beginning of sorrows.
False church gospels
This 4th Seal as Branham pointed out, is a mix of all the Seals before it. The ‘death and hell,’ that follow are bound in the first three Seals. To kill, and condemn one another. The famine and pestilence that fall upon those who change JESUS Gospel. And those ‘Beasts of the Earth,’ that buy and sell our souls. And of doctrines born of corrupt church teachings.
In Elijah’s time, Jezebel put all Gods’ prophets in Israel to death. And her prophets trod down and defiled the Existing Ones ‘Altar of Sacrifice.’ In the Church Ages, church teachings have replaced ‘JESUS Sacrifice,’ and this is the image of jealousy Daniel and Ezekiel foresaw. In this Seal, JESUS removes His ‘grace and blood,’ from the altar.
See too; how the ‘Great Tribulation’ Christians look for, is born in the blasphemy of their own church teachings. And in them, the same antichrist spirit, the Apostle John saw deny JESUS is both Father and Son.
Now JESUS Gospel witness declares; ‘all these are the beginning of sorrows.’ Not the reaping of sorrow, but the sowing. Nor the sorrow we see in the world today, because these Seals unfold in every generation. But the sorrow of the ‘one crying in the wilderness.’
In my next sharing I will share on the final Seals, but pray we examine our Faith. Is it JESUS Faith. In your heart and mind. Is JESUS both LORD and Christ? If not seek him with all your heart. Dear Lord JESUS heal the blind and clothe the naked; in JESUS consecrated name I pray. Amen.
