Unraveling The Words of Yahweh

In our last study we started this 8th Chapter which brings us to the Trumpets. Remember in our last study I discuss the fact that we have determined that Revelation is not in chronological order; it brings up another interesting question. I will get into the 1st and 2nd Trumpet Sound.
Here we have the whole of the six Trumpets. The six refer to the earth; the seventh consists of the third Vision "in heaven." So with the Seals: six referred to the earth, and the seventh was opened "in heaven." It is the same with the seven Trumpets; six Trumpets refer to the earth, the seventh refers to heaven. Moreover, they are divided into four and three: the four being grouped together and the last three being the three "Woe" Trumpets.
The Bible indicates in Revelation that seven trumpets will sound before the end of the age and the Second Coming of Yahshua Messiah. Five of the seven have already sounded as evidenced by critical moments in recent history, and a third world war, which is the triggering event of the sixth trumpet, may have already begun. My understanding of Biblical prophecies and the events that have already come to pass, will guide me in what to expect when the final two trumpets sound.
The first four Trumpets and their results are recorded with shortness; while the last three are set forth in more detail. The four occupy only seven verses; the last three occupy some fifty verses.
The first of the four affects the earth; the fourth affects the heavens; while the second and third affect the waters of the earth. Thus all is recorded in perfect order.
So we see in this verse 7, that John describes an apocalyptic vision. His vision explains the triggering event of the sounding of the first trumpet — hail and fire mixed with blood falling to the ground, and approximately 33% of all of the grass and trees in the known world destroyed.
No previous wars occurred with one million deaths.
The first war fought with airplanes; hence hail and fire mingled with blood as bombs fell.
The first time official “scorched earth policy” was employed – burned all green grass as armies retreated.
During World War I, large amounts of artillery shells and chemical agents were released on troops for the first time in history through modern warfare, killing over 8 million people. Soldiers on both sides burned vast tracts of land in order to eliminate any natural or man-made items that their enemies could use. 
Could this be the First Trumpet Sound? Just a passing thought.
Verses 8-9  I believe that it is possible that this 2nd Trumpet could have been WW2. 
WHY? World War II is also the event that was triggered by the sounding of the second trumpet. The Bible explains that a third of the ships involved in the conflict that coincides with the activation of this trumpet will be destroyed. During World War II, approximately one third of the ships that participated in the conflict were sunk. In turn, the nuclear bomb deployed at Hiroshima resembled “something like a great mountain burning with fire,” a sight that was new on the world stage.
Approximately 105,000 ships participated in WWII; approximately 36,000 of them were sunk – one-third (as prophesied).
The first employment of a nuclear bomb would look exactly like a mountain burning with fire.
We have seen that app. 52 million people died. Listen to the accounts of the mass murders of Jews although Europe between 1940 –1945. Don’t forget about what took place in Japan on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, The Atomic Bomb! Could that “great mountain” been Germany under the leadership of Adolf Hitler? Who literally killed millions of Jews!

Could this be the Second Trumpet? Just a passing thought!

In this continuing study I take a look at the Rapture Doctrine. Is this a Pre-Trib, as taught in most mainstream Churches are do Christians go through the Tribulation Period? I compare Thessalonians to Matthew 24 along with Revelation. I venture into Paul’s writings to explore what he has to say, along with what Yahweh says in Ezekiel. I also ask the listeners to grab a pencil and paper as we create charts for comparison as we get deeper into this study. 
In this Part 35 I continue our study in this Matthew 24. I share John 17 verse 1; Rev. 22 verse 18; 2 Chronicles 7 verses 12-14
I go into a rant over the Covid issue, Catholic and the Pope, The New Agreement Bible

The apostle John received revelation relating to the Daniel 9:27 prophecy: Satan and his demonic angels will be cast down from their heavenly realm to the earth in the middle of the seven-year Tribulation (Rev. 12:7–9). This action will infuriate Satan. Knowing his time is growing short, he will begin wrathful desolation (Rev. 12:12). Then he apparently will take possession of Antichrist and prompt him to stop Israel’s reinstated Old Testament worship. He will seize the Temple, set himself up as Yahweh in that place, and demand to be worshiped as Yahweh. Because Satan desires to be worshiped as Yahweh (Isa. 14:12–14), he will receive that worship by proxy through his Antichrist (see Rev. 13:4). Once this blasphemous worship begins, Antichrist will be empowered to continue for 42 months (Rev. 13:5; cf. Dan. 7:25).
Yahweh will not crush Satan and establish His Millennial Kingdom on Earth until Israel repents and experiences a national reconciliation with Yahweh (Zech. 12—14; Acts 3:12–21). Thus Satan attempts to destroy Israel beforehand so that Yahweh will not crush him.
The word translated “tribulation” refers to “distress” and was used to describe birth pangs. The word translated “great” emphasizes the “intensity” of the distress.Earlier in His discourse (vv. 4–8), Yahshua indicated the first half of the Tribulation will be characterized by “the beginning of sorrows” (literally, “birth pangs”). The concept of “great” distress in verse 21 means the second half will be characterized by the intense, hard-labor birth pangs. The Greek text reveals that Yahshua used a double negative to emphasize the impossibility of any other time equaling the intense distress of that time.
Could Yahshua Messiah be making reference to what Josephus writes in his Book Wars of the Jews Book 2 Chapter 13 Section 4? There was also another body of wicked men gotten together, not so impure in their actions, but more wicked in their intentions, which laid waste the happy state of the city no less than did these murderers. These were such men as deceived and deluded the people under pretense of Divine inspiration, but were for procuring innovations and changes of the government; and these prevailed with the multitude to act like madmen, and went before them into the wilderness, as pretending that God would there show them the signals of liberty. But Felix thought this procedure was to be the beginning of a revolt; so he sent some horsemen and footmen both armed, who destroyed a great number of them.
And then we read in Section 5: But there was an Egyptian false prophet that did the Jews more mischief than the former; for he was a cheat, and pretended to be a prophet also, and got together thirty thousand men that were deluded by him; these he led round about from the wilderness to the mount which was called the Mount of Olives, and was ready to break into Jerusalem by force from that place; and if he could but once conquer the Roman garrison and the people, he intended to domineer over them by the assistance of those guards of his that were to break into the city with him.

I also ask the listeners to grab a pencil and paper as we create charts for comparison as we get deeper into this study. 

 In this Part 34 I go back to Matthew 24, verse 20 and see what Yahshua Messiah has to say to His disciples and most important TO US TODAY! I read from 1 John Chapter 2 verses 15-23

20       But pray ye ... = The destruction was certainly coming. It could not be prevented; yet it was right to pray for a reduction of the circumstances, that it might be as mild as possible. So we know that calamity is before us; sickness, pain, bereavement, and death are in our path; yet, though we know that these things must come upon us, it is right to pray that they may come in as mild a manner as may be consistent with the will of Yahweh. We must die, but it is right to pray that the pains of our dying may be neither long nor severe.

flight = foog-ay' ; a fleeing, that is, escape. This would the fleeing in verse16. 

winter = Why? Let me ask you something, when is the harvest season? Is it in the winter months?  They are being harvested out of season. Let us never forget Yahweh’s Holy Days and especially the Feast of Tabernacles!

Sabbath Day = How far could one travel on this day? The Law of Moses did not mention the distance to which persons might go on the Sabbath, but most of the Jews maintained that it should not be more than 2000 cubits. Some supposed that it was 7 furlongs, or nearly a mile. This distance was allowed in order that they might go to their places of worship. Most of them held that it was not lawful to go further, under any circumstances of war or affliction.

21           for then = Yahshua Messiah gives the reason why this sudden flight (verses 16-20) was rendered necessary at the moment spoken of in verse 15.

 shall be, &c. =  Quoted from Daniel 12:1. 

 Great tribulation = also known as “Jacob’s Trouble” Jerm. 30

 Great = ‘meg-as’ great, large, of physical magnitude

 Tribulation = ‘thlip-sis’ pressure, afflicted. Dr. Bullinger translates as, ‘pressure, compression, straitness; hence, pressure from evils, affliction, distress

22           those days = those days of Satan’s tribulation of Rev. 11 and 13. Even those days of verse 19! Those days of the abomination of desolation!

Shortened = to 5 months. Rev. 9:5. Not only does it tell us 5 months, but also which 5 months it shall be! Check it out for yourself.

After Yahshua Messiah described the Great Tribulation (the second half of a seven-year period called the Tribulation, vv. 9–14), He began the next sentence (v. 15) with “therefore.” Thus He indicated that the next section of His discourse was a deduction drawn from the characteristics of that future period. 
Don’t end up like those in Hosea 4:6 ‘My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God (Elohim), I will also forget thy children.’
But, be like those in 2Timothy 2:15 ‘Study to shew thyself approved unto God (Yahweh), a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.’

In this Part 33 I go into the Book of Revelation Chapter 13:11-18 and see what Yahshua Messiah has to say to His disciples and most important TO US TODAY!

 11.          beast = the beast system in verse one was a political beast whereas this beast system will be a religious one. John sees this second monster coming up out of the earth, a beast that has two horns like a lamb, and a voice like the voice of a dragon. There is a close connection existing between the ten-horned and the two-horned beast. The latter (1) exercises the power of the first beast before him, (2) causeth the earth to worship the first beast, (3) says to the earth that it should make an image of the first beast (verse 14), (4) gives life unto the image of the first beast, and (5) causes those who will not worship the image to be slain (verse 15). These statements show that there exists a close connection between the two, and that the last is the supporter and restorer of the first.
Coming up out of the earth = Prof. Stuart renders this, “ascending from the land.” The former was represented as rising up out of the sea verse 1; indicating that the power was to rise from a perturbed or unsettled state of affairs - like the ocean. This, from what was more settled and stable - as the land is firmer than the waters
 And he had two horns like a lamb = In some respects he resembled a lamb; that is, he seemed to be a mild, gentle, harmless animal. There is a similitude like the Lamb of Elohim; a counterfeit representation; but a voice like the old dragon even back to Gen 3.
And he spake as a dragon = See the notes on Rev. 12:3. The meaning here is, that he spoke in a harsh, conceited, proud, arrogant tone - as we should suppose a dragon would if he had the power of utterance. The general sense is that while this “beast” had, in one respect in its resemblance to a lamb - the appearance of great gentleness, meekness, and kindness, it had, in another respect, a haughty, imperious, and arrogant spirit.
The second Beast, like the first, is superhuman, obsessed and energized by satanic power. Three times he is called "the False Prophet" (16:13; 19:20; and 20:10). He is also the great assistant of the first Beast, and his mission is to aid the first Beast by deceiving mankind. The Lord Yahshua Messiah, in speaking of this great Tribulation, warned against False Prophets as well as against False Christ’s, and spoke of their great work and power to deceive (Matt 24:5, 11, 24. Mark 13:22). Here is "the False Prophet," and this is his proper title.
He has two horns, and not ten, as the first Beast. The ten denote dominion; the two speak of testimony; in this case false testimony. He spake as a dragon, i.e., subtilely, craftily and deceitfully. (Compare Gen 3:1; 49:17. 2 Cor 11:3, 14).
And all these are used in behalf of the first Beast. The former is Political, the latter is Religious. The Dragon, the Beast and the False Prophet form the Devil's travesty of the Holy Trinity.

It is infernal, as the other is Divine. The Dragon is the anti-Elohim; the Beast is the anti-Messiah; the False Prophet is the anti-Holy Spirit.

All the Scriptures, which refer to these Beast’s speak of them, without exception, as individuals. There is no hint as to their being anything else.

In this week’s study, we continue in Chapter 8.
In our last study we started this 8th Chapter which brings us to the Trumpets. Remember in our last study I discuss the fact that we have determined that Revelation is not in chronological order. It has been commonly taught that the 7th Seal is the event that opens the 7 Trumpets. This teaching is in line with the chronological order theory.
But think about it. The 6th Seal and the 7th Trumpet happen at the same moment in time. How, then, is it possible for the 7th Seal to open all 7 Trumpets? The answer is simple. It can’t.
If we take a quick look at the ending of the 6th and 7th Seals, the 7th Trumpet and the 7th Vial they would all have the same ending. We must ask ourselves, “Does Babylon fall once or Twice? Rev. 14:8, 18:2; Great Shaking Powers From Heaven Rev. 8:5, 11:13, 11:19, 16:18; Sun Become Black Rev. 6:12, 16:10; Great Hail Rev. 11:19, 16:21; Mountain & Islands Move Rev. 6:12, 16:20; Yahweh’s Wrath Rev. 6:17, 11:18, 14:9-10, 14:19, 15, 16; 19:15.”
John categorized everything written in the book of Revelation into one of three categories – Things which thou hast seen, things which are and things which shall be hereafter. This tells us immediately that the entire book is not prophetic. Not all of Revelation is future.
After introducing Yahshua Messiah in Chapter 1, we then read John’s seven letters to the seven churches in Asia. Were these merely letters to churches that existed in his day, or did they mean something deeper? Were they really prophecies of seven future “Church Ages?” Clearly, these were seven letters to seven churches. The problem that existed in the churches of John’s day still very much exists in churches of today. There is reason to assume otherwise. Chapters 2 and 3 fall into John’s “things which are” category.
In the first verse of Chapter 4, John clearly shifts to his third category – “Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.” Chapter 4 begins prophecies for future events.
We are given three different views of the end time. Each view gives different details, not unlike how Matthew, Mark, Luke and John record the life of Yahshua Messiah from four different perspectives.
The first view of prophetic events given Revelation is the 7 Seals. The Seals are the long story, and they end at Armageddon. The second account is told through the 7 Trumpets. The Trumpets contains s shorter view then the Seals, meanings they span a shorter period of time. But they have the same ending point – Armageddon. The 7 Vials are the last story. The Vials are the very short account of end time events, and they, too, end at Armageddon.
Because there are three different starting points all with the same ending point, we can know that Revelations is not written chronologically from beginning to end.
The 6th Seal, 7th Trumpet and 7th Vial are the same event. The event is the Wrath of Elohim. It begins immediately after the Great Tribulation, and it is when Armageddon is fought. The Battle of Armageddon and the Battle of Gog and Magog are the same battle.
The seven Archangels of Yahweh:
Uriel – ‘fire of El’ - This angel spoke to Ezra in the prophecy of Ezra. He seems to know much about the judgments to come.
Raphael – ‘the divine healer’ - He is involved in guarding spirits of mankind, even those yet unsaved.
Raguel – ‘friend of El’ - He is sent to judge wicked men and fallen angels.
Michael – ‘who is like El’ - He is the guardian of the saints of Yahweh
Saraqael – ‘prince of El’ - This judgment angel judges those who lead others to sin.
Gabriel – ‘man of El’ - He is the ‘in charge’ angel over all angels, fallen and holy and in charge of Eden.
Phanuel – ‘face of El’ - he is head guardian angel over those who guard the saints.

In this continuing study I take a look at the Rapture Doctrine. Is this a Pre-Trib, as taught in most mainstream Churches are do Christians go through the Tribulation Period? I compare Thessalonians to Matthew 24 along with Revelation. I venture into Paul’s writings to explore what he has to say, along with what Yahweh says in Ezekiel. 
 In this Part 32 I go back to Matthew 24 verse 18 and see what Yahshua Messiah has to say to His disciples and most important TO US TODAY!
 I discuss the fact that this present Pope is a Luciferian!
 Beginning with verse15, begins the second sign that Yahshua has given us.
 18   Take a real good look at these verses 15 to 18. Notice that this is basically all one sentence. Therefore the thought remain the same throughout Yahshua’s message. Yahshua starts out in verse 15, telling us when we see the ‘abomination of desolation’ taking place, then in verse 16 He is telling those that live in Judea to flee to the mountains. Verse 17, He tells us not to come down from the roof top and gather up any of our personnel belongings and then in verse 18 we are instructed not to leave the field and return for our clothes.
 I have another thought on this verse. Why would you and I while working in the field, spiritual speaking preaching the Gospel of Yahshua Messiah throughout the world, as I am doing right now, need to go back home and gather our clothes when we are seeing these events unfold to us as Yahshua Messiah said?
 19  Why would Yahshua Messiah state this, if man was told by Yahweh to replenish the earth? Yahshua Messiah is not contradicting His Father! Yahshua Messiah is speaking in a spiritual sense, on those that follow after this false messiah, doing his work. As one nurtures a baby they will nurture the works of Satan. Remember Yahshua Messiah is coming back for his virgin bride. That’s to say those that didn’t follow after anti-Christ. This in essence is the Mark of the Beast found in Rev 13. This is a mark of service, which is hidden over a long period of time, by which they do his work. Keep in mind that this mark of the beast is not some tattoo as same my think nor some type of a computer chip, driver’s license etc. Let me ask you something. What is in your fore head? You’re Brain! That allows you to think!
 In those days = those days of the abomination of desolation!
Other words, WOE to them that hanky-panky with Satan!!!!!
I made mention of the Virgin Bride. Let us take a look at Matt. Chapter 25.
3  lamps = torches – light = symbolic of Yahshua Messiah
‘El- ah – yon’ this word is made up of three Divine titles of Yah!
EL - EL  is essentially  the Almighty , thought the word is never so rendered (see below, "Shaddai"). EL is Elohim in all His strength and power. It is rendered "God" as Elohim is, but  El  is God the Omnipotent.
AH = Jah is Yahweh in a special sense and relation. Yahweh as having BECOME our Salvation (first occ. Exod. 15:2), He Who IS, and WAS, and IS TO COME. It occurs 49 times (7 x 7. Spiritual completeness)
 YON = Elyon first occurs in Gen. 14:18 with  El , and is rendered "the most high (God)". It is El and Elohim, not as the powerful Creator, but as "the possessor of heaven and earth." Therefore the name is associated with the Messiah as the Son of "the Highest" (Luke 1:35). It is Elyon, as possessor of the earth, who divides the nations "their inheritance". In Psa. 83:18, He is "over all the earth". The title occurs 36 times (6 x 6 or 6 squared See Ap. 10).
 So we conclude that this oil is the ‘Word’ of Yahshua Messiah, i.e. the Gospel. Kind in mind if one doesn’t know the Word, then “they” can’t do the work for Yahshua Messiah.

In this week’s study, I finished up in Chapter 7, beginning with verse 15, than start Chapter 8.

Chapter 8

 Now that we have determined that Revelation is not in chronological order, it brings up another interesting question. It has been commonly taught that the 7th Seal is the event that opens the 7 Trumpets. This teaching is in line with the chronological order theory.
 But think about it. The 6th Seal and the 7th Trumpet happen at the same moment in time. How, then, is it possible for the 7th Seal to open all 7 Trumpets? The answer is simple. It can’t.
 The 7 years Chronological Order Theory
The most commonly held theory about the sequence of end time events is that the book of Revelation was written in chronological order. The theory states that end time events will happen in the order they appear in Revelation. “The interpretive approach to understanding Revelation,” it is commonly written, “is to accept the chronological order of the book and its plain sense meaning.
  I would like to take the time to look at this theory. Is it true

 Does Babylon Fall once or Twice?
Revelation 14:8   on earth
   “And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.”
Revelation 18:2 on earth
“And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.”
In Revelation 14:8 we read “Babylon if fallen, is fallen, that great city.” According to the Chronological Order Theory, Babylon is gone by Chapter 14. It is no more.
According to the Theory, however, Babylon must somehow be rebuilt, because we read that it falls again four chapters later in chapter 18!
Now does Babylon fall twice, or are there simply two accounts of the fall of Babylon
One Earthquake or Five
  Revelation 6:12 on earth, this is the 6th Trumpet
  “And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;”
Revelation 8:5 in heaven, this is the opening of the 7th Seal
“And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.  Revelation 11:13 on earth, this is in or near the end of the 6th Trumpet.
“And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the Elohim of heaven.”
Revelation 11:19 in Heaven, this is at the beginning of the 7th Trumpet
“And the temple of Elohim was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.”
   Revelation 16:18 on earth, this is 7th Vial
   “And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great."
We see that several earthquakes are recorded in Revelation. The first is “a great earthquake,” and it occurs in the 6th chapter.
The second, in Chapter 8, is recorded as “an earthquake.”
“A great earthquake” occurs in Revelation 11:13. Six verses later there is “an earthquake.”
One final earthquake is noted in the 16th chapter.

 The Chrononogical Order Theory places 5 earthquakes over 7 years. There is another possible explanation, however. Perhaps there is only one earthquake, with Revelation giving 5 separate accounts of it.

In this week’s study, we continue in Chapter 7 verse 14, however I will be discussing the events of the Great Tribulation.

In our last study one of the elders in verse 13 asked the question “What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?” This elder is referring to the vision that John saw pertaining to the multitudes which no man can number there in verse 9. John states in verse 14, “Sir, thou knowest.” Which the elder replies, “These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.”

In this study we will be studying 10 passages of scripture. Each of the scriptures we will read pertains to the Wrath of Satan.

Daniel 7:25 “And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.”

Revelation 13:5-7“ and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against Yahweh, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.” 

Revelation 12:6 “And the woman fled into the wilderness, ... a thousand two hundred and threescore days.”

Revelation 12:7-12 “And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world...”

Revelation 12:13-17 “And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. ... And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of Yahweh, and have the testimony of Yahshua Messiah.”

Matthew 24:15-16, 21 “When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, :… For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.”

Daniel 12:1-7 “And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time:  How long shall it be to the end of these wonders? ... a time, times, and an half;”

Revelation 10 “And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,  But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of Yahweh should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.” 

Revelation 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,”

Revelation 16:4-7 “And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood. And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus. For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets,” 

2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 “Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called Yahweh, or that is worshipped; so that he as Yahweh sitteth in the temple of Yahweh, shewing himself that he is Yahweh.”
  

In this week’s study, we continue in Chapter 7 verse 9.

We now come to the second Vision "in Heaven." It contains a yet further answer to the question of 6:17: "Who shall be able to stand" in the judgment? While it commences the second pair of Visions: viz., the opening of the seventh Seal "in heaven," and the consequent sounding of the six Trumpets "on earth."

I go on a rant about the spiritual warfare between Satan and his evil demons attacking the souls of the Elect. I even share the lyrics from the song “The Future” by Leonard Cohen, where he states “Give me absolute control over every living soul” and “And now the wheels of heaven stop you feel the devil’s riding crop Get ready for the future: it is murder…”.

9.  After this = Those things taking place on the earth. That is, after I saw the sealing of the 144,000 represented I had another vision. The expression marks a separation from what has gone before, and introduces the second distinct Vision "in heaven."

I beheld = “I-do” That is, he saw them before the throne. The vision is transferred from earth to heaven; from the contemplation of the scene when desolation seemed to impend over the world, and when comparatively few in number were “sealed” as the servants of Yahweh, to the time when the redeemed would be triumphant, and when a host, which no man can number would stand before Yahweh.

And, lo = Indicating surprise. A vast host burst upon the view. Instead of the comparatively few who were sealed, an innumerable company were presented to his vision, and surprise was the natural effect.

A great multitude = Converts during the great tribulation Instead of the comparatively small number on which the attention had been fixed.

Which no man could number - The number was so great that no one could count them, and John, therefore, did not attempt to do it. This is such a statement, as one would make who should have a view of all the redeemed in heaven. It would appear to be a number beyond all power of computation.

10.          cried = they cry. Greek, “cry,” in the three oldest manuscripts, A, B, C, Vulgate, Syriac, and Coptic. It is their continuing, ceaseless employment.

In this week’s study, we begin in Chapter 7 verse 1 thru 8 with the sealing of the 144,000.

Quote from Henry Ironside. “In the last chapter we were occupied with the first half of the seventieth week of Daniel’s prophecy: “the beginning of sorrows” when “the wrath of the Lamb” will be poured out on guilty Christendom and apostate Judaism. All this is yet in the future. Now we find that before the Lord gave John the vision of the opening of the seventh seal (which introduces the great tribulation in all its intensity), He gave him this parenthetic seventh chapter in which are recorded two important visions. In the first, John sees a hundred and forty-four thousand Israelites sealed by an angel. In the second, he beholds a great multitude of Gentiles, led in triumph by the Lamb, taking possession of the millennial earth.

Judah is mentioned first, because Yahshua  sprung from that tribe, and the pure worship of Yahweh was preserved in it; and that itself was preserved a distinct tribe until the coming of Shiloh; its name signifies "praise Yahweh"; and shows, that it becomes all the sealed ones, all true believers, and every member of the “ek-kelsia” of Yahweh, to praise him for all favors and blessings, temporal, spiritual, and eternal.
Reuben was Jacob's firstborn, but by his sin he lost the honor and privilege of birthright, and therefore is mentioned after Judah, who prevailed above him and the rest of his brethren; his name signifies "see the Son"; and shows that the Son of Yahweh is to be looked unto for righteousness, life, and salvation, by all that expect to be saved, and to him does the true church look for eternal life and happiness.
Gad name signifies a "troop", and may denote that there would be a numerous company of saints and faithful witnesses during the time of sealing, and amidst all the troubles and afflictions that would attend the church and people of Yahweh, and who in the issue would be conquerors, and more than conquerors, through Yahshua 
Asher, signifies "blessed"; as all the sealed ones are, blessed with all spiritual blessings, with grace here, and glory hereafter.
Nephthalim the name of this tribe signifies "wrestling’s"; and may design the wrestling’s of saints, both with Yahweh in prayer, and with their enemies, sin, Satan, and the world, and also their strivings together for the faith of the Gospel.
Manasses this word signifies "forgetting"; and shows that the followers of Yahshua  should forget the things that are behind, their sinful lusts and pleasures, the onions and garlic in Egypt, and their former company and acquaintance, their own people, and their father's house, and all their labors and sufferings for the sake of Yahshua.
Simeon The name of this tribe signifies "hearing"; and such an hearing as is attended with obedience; and the spiritual and practical hearing of the Gospel by those who hear, and understand, and believe, and practice what they hear, and yield the obedience of faith unto it.
Levi this name signifies "joined";  that these sealed ones were not only joined one to another in love and holy fellowship, but to Yahshua, and were one spirit with him, and were members of his body, flesh, and bones, and cleaved to him with full purpose of heart.
Issachar  the interpretation of this name is "hire" or "reward",; and may design those rewards of grace which Yahweh bestows upon his faithful servants, in times of tribulation.
Zabulon signifies "dwelling"; and was the tribe in which Yahshua  had his dwelling, and where he much conversed; and may denote his gracious inhabitation, as well as that of Yahweh the Father, and of the Spirit, among the saints and sealed ones.
Joseph name signifies "adding; and may intend the additions both of numbers, and of gifts and graces to the churches of those times.
 Benjamin this word signifies "the Son of the right hand",
