THE WRATH OF THE LAMB

The fulfilment of the end time Prophecies is not there to scare us, but rather to prepare us.

I want to ask you this question: If you can see how the Old Testament prophecies were fulfilled in the New Testament, do you believe that the prophecies in the book of Revelation will also be fulfilled? We cannot believe in the first 65 books of the Word of Yahweh and not in the last one! It will come to pass. You have to believe in the 66th book of Yahweh’s Word too.

The wrath of the Lamb

As you know I am a pre-tribulation rapture teacher and today I want to talk to you about the most important reason in the Word of Yahweh showing us that there will be a rapture before the tribulation.

Who will break the 7 seals of the tribulation?

The book of Revelation in the Bible is exactly what it is, a Revelation. It is not called a book of “Secret Codes” or “Mystery Messages”, no it is an end time map and a very important book to understand as Endtime Watchman. I know for many this book sounds like a sci-fi movie, but as soon as you get to the revelation of the book of Revelation, it turns out to be a magnificent adventure and stacked with prophecies to warn and PREPARE us!

We are living in what the Bible describes as the “end times”, just before a major event, what is also described as the “time of Jacob’s trouble” or the “Great Tribulation”.

The main Instigator, the Seal Breaker and the One in Charge of this whole event is none other than Yahshua! And this is also THE REASON why most believers will escape this terrible event, because of Him. In 1 Thessalonians 5:9-11 we read:

“because Yahweh has not APPOINTED US FOR WRATH, but for obtaining of Salvation through our Master Yahshua Messiah, He dying ON OUR BEHALF, so that whether we are awake or we sleep, we may live TOGETHER with Him. Therefore, encourage one another, and build up one another, as you indeed do”

In other words, why will Yahshua open the seals of wrath over the same people He died for? And in this verse, we learn that our Salvation is through Yahshua and that we need to encourage each other with these words. And if I’m encouraging you, I’m giving you good news! And the good news is that we can escape the wrath of the Lamb if we are crafted into the Olive Tree and living as Covenant Believers following the Truth of Yahweh’s Word and commandments! And if that is not the case, you would not be able to escape this terrible event.

The breaking of the 7 seals are just the starting point of this terrible tribulation event and as it goes on, it gets worse. Let’s peek into the opening scene.

TRIBULATION OPENING
In Revelation 6:1 you will see that the Lamb start this great event when He opens the First Seal. I can’t enhance the fact more of importance about the number SEVEN, because it is truly a Blueprint number in Yahweh’s plan for mankind’s salvation, revealed throughout the whole Bible and engraved as the number of COMPLETION!

In the Tribulation Event there will be SEVEN Seals, SEVEN Trumpets and SEVEN Judgement Bowls.

THE 7 SEALS

In Revelation the sixth chapter it talks about seven seals that have to be opened in order to begin the great tribulation. Five of those seals are present today in one form or another.

FIRST SEAL
Revelation 6:2
“And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.”

This represents false religion, which is rampant in this world. Almost all organized religion is steeped in so much paganism and false doctrine that it is hard to consider any of them true Christianity.

SECOND SEAL

Revelation 6:4
“And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the Earth, and they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.

This represents war. There are currently over 173 wars being fought. Except for North America and Australia, there is war everywhere. Never before have there been so many wars.

THIRD SEAL
Rev 6:5-6
“And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo, a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.“

There is famine all over the world. Currently there are almost a billion people on Earth who are starving to death, and it is getting worse. One half of the world is experiencing severe drought, and in other areas there is horrendous flooding. Asia and the Middle East and Africa are in a serious drought situation and some parts are suffering famine. There is a lot of suffering going on in Eastern Europe also. The AIDS epidemic in Africa is staggering. It is reported that in the black community of South Africa the AIDS rate is as high as 70% to 80%. Adding to the other woes are mad cow disease, hoof and mouth disease, and the Asian flu, which is affecting poultry. Millions of animals are being slaughtered.

FOURTH SEAL
Rev 6:7-8
“And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, come and see. And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was death, and hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the Earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with beasts of the Earth.”

FIFTH SEAL
Rev 6:9-11
“And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of Yahweh, and for the testimony which they held: And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Master, holy and true, do you not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth. And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellow servants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.”

More Christians have been killed in the last few years than the whole 2000 years before. Sudan, Egypt, China and Indonesia are just a few of the places where this killing is taking place. This is not publicized much due to politics and financial reasons. If a Moslem converts to Christianity, there is a death warrant put on his life. Many have had to flee for their lives. Statistics show that a Christian is killed somewhere in the world about every 8 minutes.

We are, to say the least, seeing the birth pangs of Yahshua’s coming Kingdom. With things growing worse so rapidly, we may be further down the line of prophecy than most want to admit. Tomorrow I will talk about the sixth and seventh Seals.
