Have you ever wondered what really is the "Gospel" or what is really meant by the "Good News?"  I mean, with all the dogma and beliefs out there, what is the purest and simplist form of the Gospel that can be found.  Well, the answer is the Gospel According to God or Father God Himself.  Using the the Book of the Gospel of John, we transport you to the the 1st Century around AD 30 or so to walk with others who are first introduced to the Son of Man or God made human.  Before the death, resurrection, ascension, Pentecost, and the Apostle's missionary journeys, existed only the pure simple Gospel of God.  A Gospel set forth from Genesis to the Gospel of John.  We answer these questions for you; who is the Gospel about, why did it come to being, how is it accomplished, where was it formed, and when did it begin?  

Brother KAPOW talks about his recent injury and how we as Christ Followers are always being pursued by Satan our enemy who has been making war on God's People since he was kicked out of the heavenly presence of God during the angelic wars in Heaven according to Revelation 12:9-13:10. Yes, Satan makes war on us and overcomes us in this Matrix of a life, but our ultimate victory lies within our overcoming or being over-comers by the blood of Christ and the word of our testimony.  Once we overcome by entering the presence of God, we can take of the Tree of Life and have have Eternal Life with no more pain or suffering and no more Satan!  

Chapter 11 of the Book of the Revelation finds the Believers (True Church) separated from the the Un-believers (Unregenerate humans and false Church) in the symbolism of God's Temple (The Believers) being measured along with the Altar, and the Worshippers being counted.  This measurement/counting separates for preservation God's called out ones.  Then the pagan, unrepentant, and false religions that are in the outer court (Being attached to the Temple of God, but not inside the Temple of God) are then separated out for judgment and wrath when the seventh trumpet blows.  This chapter is the pivotal point where everything leading up to it was a precursor to God's wrath on humanity.  From this point on, the rest of the Book of the Revelation details all the judgments spoken of beforehand.  

As the Martyrs for the Gospel cry out to God for vengeance upon the wicked inhabiters of the earth, a particular angel in Heaven shouts out with the voice of a lion proclaiming that there will be no more delay!  Time is up.  The Martyr's request will be fulfilled, and all Hell will literally be thrown down to earth in God's wrath.  For the believer sealed by the Holy Spirit, the mystery of God is revealed and a beautiful understanding takes place.  

In this particular chapter we find these plagues of fire, smoke, and sulfur with these spiritual insects that look somewhat like locusts but sting and torment humans on earth.  These plagues are meant to drive people into repentance from worshipping idols and sexual immorality.  These horrible events happen to the "Inhabiters of the Earth," except for the ones who are sealed and protected by God.  This chapter is more about the good news of eternal salvation through Messiah thus avoiding the plagues, then it is about the torment and destruction of mankind.  There is mercy here.  There is grace here.  The message is to repent and turn to God for the reconciliation to Him before the final hammer falls and it is too late to do so.  

Using the narrative of the testing of Jesus Christ in the wilderness, we show how it is the very Spirit of God in Him and in us that is being proved.  God can't be against Himself, and so we are assured that our troubles will lead us into patient endurance and building of character for a holy life unto the Lord.  How to survive the tribulations and troubles in life?  Here is the key that frees us into successful living for God.  

Revelation Chapter Eight finds the seventh seal broken, and the seven trumpets are sounded bringing on the precursors to the total destruction and end of earth as recorded in the sixth seal.  These trumpets take place between the prayers of the martyrs under the altar, which request God to take vengeance on the people of the earth for their blood, and the sixth seal which describes the ultimate and final destruction of earth.  The first four trumpets are earth bound warning shots where one third of things die, while the last three trumpets are the woes or terrors that come upon humankind.  The four plus the three trumpets form the familiar pattern found in Revelation revealing God's perfect and complete number, seven.

Between the judgments of the sixth and seventh seals, is a beautiful chapter in the Book of Revelation that foretells how God's elect and redeemed people will be gathered together in the heavens.  As Revelation chapter six closes with the opening of the sixth seal of terrible judgment on the earth, we find the saved people from every nation being sealed against the wrath of God.  It is these elect chosen ones that will stand and survive that great and terrible day of judgment when God returns to reclaim His earth.

The perfect number of God, the Seven Seals are divided into 4 + 3, and we have the first four seals being broken by the Lamb of God bringing things on earth like the Gospel (White horse), and the judgements that follow the people who refuse the Gospel like war (Red horse), famine (Black horse), and death by various means (Pale horse).  These things have been occuring from the beginning of the Gentile Age until the end of all time and the world.  The last three Seals are Heavenly.  We find the martyrs of Christ under the Heavenly altar at the fifth Seal with great cosmological disturbances at the breaking of the six Seal.  Of course next week, we will delve into chapter seven where we find the seventh Seal revealing the protection of Christ's elect from the wrath of God.  

Revelation six goes hand in hand with Matthew 24 in the timing and order of events.  Both prophesy the same things.  We find the mysterious but understandable link to the four angelic creatures with faces like a lion, ox, man, and eagle to four written Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.  The judgments of God are God's mercy upon humankind in order to get them to repent before the final great and terrible Day of Wrath that is coming.  As long as the Gospel message of salvation continues to be proclaimed and preached, the other three attention getting judgments will continue to occur.  These are war, famine, pestilence, and wild beasts just as written in Ezekiel the Prophet.  Once the cosmological perbatations happen, then the world will see the approaching return of Christ and attempt to hide from His wrath.  The elect of God will be sealed and removed prior to the wrath of God raining down on the earth.  

Revelation Chapter Five finds the Apostle John in a heavenly throne room where the Father is seated on His majestic throne surrounded by millions of angels and 24 Elders.  The Father has a scroll containing His mysteries from before time into eternity. No one or thing is worthy to open the scroll.  Then we see the Lamb of God who is worthy come and take the scroll.  There are then three Heavenly doxologies or worship songs sung by the church, angels, and all of creation.
