And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God. Lev 26:21 And if ye walk contrary unto me, and will not hearken unto me; I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins. Rev 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. Rev 18:8 Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong [is] the Lord God who judgeth her. Rev 21:9 And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife. Sign - Wonder- Miracle - same greek word Greek for 4592
This is the 3rd "wonder/sign/miracle" John records. The FIRST was the WOMAN with the crown and 12 stars, and MOON under feet. Revelation 12 The SECOND was the RED DRAGON who pursued the Woman and her SEED. Revelation 12 The THIRD are the SEVEN ANGELS with SEVEN VIALS and SEVEN PLAGUES- God's WRATH revealed. Seven is an integral number, used abundantly in Revelations. There are: 1. Seven Spirits 2. Seven Candlesticks 3. Seven Churches 4. Seven Angels/Messengers 5. Seven Seals 6. Seven Trumpets 7. Seven Plagues REVIEW OF THE SEVENS It's through repetition that we see the subtle characteristics of this number. The real (not occult) Gematria of the Hebrew and Greek language has meaning as well. In Hebrew, the 7th letter is Zayin: Zayin, like other number/letters in the Alef-bet, has a pictograph meaning, which can add subtlety. It is traditionally considered "A SWORD." The sword "CUTS" a SINGLE entity into measures, the way a week is cut into 7 days. The Hebrew Zayin is considered a blessed letter/number, and it represents "completion" in God. That's why we see Seven Days, and all the other uses of Seven when defining the Holy Spirit, and the Church, itself. SEVEN was vital in creation. On the SEVENTH DAY was the SABBATH of GOD. Seven is likewise integral in JUDGMENT with the Seven Seals, Seven Plagues, etc. Greek letter 7: ETA *number value 8
Seven is one of the numbers that encompasses many different parts into ONE. The seven spirits are the ONE HOLY SPIRIT. The seven churches are the ONE BRIDE OF CHRIST. Just like the Trinity's Unity is a perfect ONE, Seven is a spiritual number of completion, where each part is joined together and function as one. That's why the menorrah/candlesticks is a sacred symbol, in so many ways. Rev 1:4 John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace [be] unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne; Rev 1:11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send [it] unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea. Rev 1:12 And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks; Rev 1:13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks [one] like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. Rev 1:16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance [was] as the sun shineth in his strength. Rev 1:20 The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest _________________________________________________in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches. Rev 4:5 And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and [there were] seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God. Rev 5:1 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals. Rev 5:5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. Rev 5:6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. Rev 8:2 And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets. Rev 8:6 And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound. Rev 10:3 And cried with a loud voice, as [when] a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices. ____________________________________________ | |||||||
And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, [and] over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God. SEA OF GLASS- Sea usually represents people. Glass is made from fired sand. This passage sounds like a nuclear fusion blast in the MiddleEast, with so much mineral and sand. It denotes the Tribulation Saints, those who had victory over the Beast's name and mark. They are different than the raptured church. They are the LAST WITNESSES before the great White Throne Judgment. They are given harps, stringed instruments, because we learned that the LAST WITNESSES, are given a NEW SONG to sing that only they and the Lamb of God sing. Rev 4:6 And before the throne [there was] a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, [were] four beasts full of eyes before and behind. Rev 21:18 And the building of the wall of it was [of] jasper: and the city [was] pure gold, like unto clear glass. Rev 21:21 And the twelve gates [were] twelve pearls; ______________________________________________every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city [was] pure gold, as it were transparent glass. | |||||||
And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous [are] thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true [are] thy ways, thou King of saints. | |||||||
Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for [thou] only [art] holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest. | |||||||
And after that I looked, and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened: | |||||||
And the seven angels came out of the temple, having the seven plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and having their breasts girded with golden girdles. Girdles are part of the Priest's garments. Lev 8:13 And Moses brought Aaron's sons, and put coats upon them, and girded them with girdles, and put bonnets upon them; as the LORD commanded Moses. Lev 8:13 And Moses brought Aaron's sons, and put coats upon them, and girded them with girdles, and put bonnets upon them; as the LORD commanded Moses. | |||||||
And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who liveth for ever and ever. | |||||||
And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power; and no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled. Smoke -Greek for 2586
Exd 19:18 And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the LORD descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly.' Sgs 3:6 Who [is] this that cometh out of the wilderness like pillars of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, with all powders of the merchant? Isa 4:5 And the LORD will create upon every dwelling place of mount Zion, and upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night: for upon all the glory [shall be] a defence. Rev 8:4 And the smoke of the incense, [which came] with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand. |
Psalm 90 - Psalm of Moses
[[A Prayer of Moses the man of God.]] Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations. | |
Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou [art] God. | |
Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men. | |
For a thousand years in thy sight [are but] as yesterday when it is past, and [as] a watch in the night. | |
Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are [as] a sleep: in the morning [they are] like grass [which] groweth up. | |
In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth. | |
For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled. | |
Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret [sins] in the light of thy countenance. | |
For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale [that is told]. | |
The days of our years [are] threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength [they be] fourscore years, yet [is] their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. | |
Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even according to thy fear, [so is] thy wrath. | |
So teach [us] to number our days, that we may apply [our] hearts unto wisdom. | |
Return, O LORD, how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants. | |
O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days. | |
Make us glad according to the days [wherein] thou hast afflicted us, [and] the years [wherein] we have seen evil. | |
Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their children. | |
And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it. |
