The End Of The Delay

Friday, November 3rd, 2023

The end of the delay is at hand!

The Beloved Disciple recorded what he heard, saw, and experienced by The Holy Spirit in Revelation chapter 10:

1  I saw still another mighty angel coming down from heaven, clothed with a cloud. And a rainbow was on his head, his face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire.

2 He had a little book open in his hand. And he set his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land,

3 and cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roars. When he cried out, seven thunders uttered their voices.

4 Now when the seven thunders uttered their voices, I was about to write; but I heard a Voice from Heaven saying to me, “Seal up the things which the seven thunders uttered, and do not write them.”

This angel is the third appearance of a distinctive messenger and the term “another” in Greek refers to one of the same kind as the previous angels.  His description includes: clouds, rainbow, sun, and feet.  These attributes link him closely to Jesus Christ and His ministry.

This angel roars like a lion which refers to the end time ministry of Jesus Christ when He returns to evoke judgment on the earth.  We are not clearly told who this angel is.  Two candidates would be Gabriel whose name means “strength of GOD” and Michael whose name mean “who is like GOD”.  It could be a third angel who closely represents the attributes of Jesus Christ Himself and has been held as a mystery until now.

The seven thunders uttered Words that John was not allowed to write even though he understood them.  These Words have been reserved for the “hereafter” which tells us that this Book in essence has not been completed. 

5  The angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land raised up his hand to heaven

6 and swore by Him who lives forever and ever, who created Heaven and the things that are in it, the earth and the things that are in it, and the sea and the things that are in it, that there should be delay no longer,

7 but in the days of the sounding of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, the mystery of God would be finished, as He declared to His servants the prophets.

This angel has declared that the delay has completed and the time for repentance is now past.

The following are 14 mysteries mentioned in the New Testament:

The Kingdom of Heaven (Matthew 13:11)

The Kingdom (Mark 4:11)

Israel’s Blindness (Romans 11:25)

The Rapture (1st Corinthians 15:51)

His Will (Ephesians 1:9)

Christ and the Church (Ephesians 5:22)

The Gospel (Ephesians 3:4; Colossians 1:26-27; 4:3)

Iniquity (2nd Thessalonians 2:7)

GOD and Christ (Colossians 2:2)

The Faith (1st Timothy 3:9)

Godliness (1st Timothy 3:16)

The Seven Stars and Golden Lampstands (Revelation 1:20)

Babylon the Great (Revelation 17:5)

The Harlot (Revelation 17:7)

8  Then the voice which I heard from Heaven spoke to me again and said, “Go, take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel who stands on the sea and on the earth.”

9 So I went to the angel and said to him, “Give me the little book.” And he said to me, “Take and eat it; and it will make your stomach bitter, but it will be as sweet as honey in your mouth.”

10 Then I took the little book out of the angel’s hand and ate it, and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth. But when I had eaten it, my stomach became bitter.

11 And he said to me, “You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, tongues, and kings.”

John was instructed to “eat the book” or assimilate it which means to take into the mind and thoroughly understand it.  This is exactly what we are to do in our daily walk (i.e., renew our minds).  This moves us from “head” knowledge to “heart” knowledge.  This is a central focus of The Holy Spirit in our lives.

The Word is often compared to food:

Bread in Matthew 4:4

Milk in 1st Peter 2:2

Meat in 1st Corinthians 3:1-2

Honey in Psalm 119:103

Assimilation is vital to our understanding of Scripture and The Holy Spirit is given to us for this purpose.

The Ultimate Prophet

Who is the Ultimate Prophet?

The Holy Spirit of course.

Jesus spoke in John chapter 16:

7  Nevertheless I tell you the Truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you.

8 And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

9 of sin, because they do not believe in Me;

10 of righteousness, because I go to My Father and you see Me no more;

11 of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.

12 “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.

13 However, when He, the Spirit of Truth, has come, He will guide you into all Truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.

14 He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you.

15 All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you.

Hamas attacked Israel on the night of October 6th.  The Holy Spirit has had me focus on the last days of the end times months before this event.  In recent years, I had not been inclined to focus on the Book of Revelation with any intensity.  Now I understand why He led me to write these latest blogs.  He wants us to be aware of what is now happening as it relates to Scripture.

Hardened Hearts

Wednesday, November 1st, 2023

The unrepentant hearts of mankind were beyond comprehension!

The Beloved Disciple recorded what he saw and heard by The Holy Spirit in Revelation chapter 9:

20  But the rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and idols of gold, silver, brass, stone, and wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk.

21  And they did not repent of their murders or their sorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts.

John listed four categories of unrighteousness:

Murders:  Consider abortion in the womb (The Holy of Holies).  Governments have been subsidizing murders prior to birth.  What do you think FATHER’S response will be?  Temporary carnal, sexual pleasure is at the root of most abortions.  These people are led by their flesh.

Sorceries (Gr. Pharmakeia): The use of drugs has become the avenue of choice that has infiltrated all levels of society, both legal and illegal.  The largest contingent of lobbyists in D.C. is from the drug industry.  Drugs don’t cure, they simply mask whatever ails a person including the psychological escapism of “getting high”.

Sexual Immorality:  All forms of commercial communication (especially advertisements) are promoting illicit sexual behavior.  Certain immoral groups are demanding social acceptance as though they have the right to defy their genetic makeup.  It is Sodom and Gomorrah all over again.  They weren’t spared the first time and won’t be spared this time as well.  Sex is the preoccupation of today’s culture.

Thefts:  Governments are stealing wealth from the average citizen on a daily basis under the cover of “the greater good”.  Who defines the greater good?  Those in power.  You create wealth by your labor and then your wealth is stolen by inflation on a subtle basis.  When the U.S. went off the gold standard in 1971, our wealth began its destruction process known as the fiat system.  The Dollar is solely based on perception and acceptance.  It is simply a claim and has liability attached to it.  This is at the center of the BRICS countries moving away from trade using the U.S. Dollar as the means of settlement.  They have been accumulating gold reserves in recent years to undermine their currencies with a precious metal that has no liability attached to it.  Socialism is the plundering of the productive people by the unaccountable.  There are too many tenacles of the unaccountable to mention.  FATHER called us to be fruitful (i.e., productive).  Selah!

These seven trumpets are parallel by the plagues of Egypt found in Exodus:

Warning #1
Warning #2
(no warning)
Waters turned to blood
Frogs on land, homes
Lice on persons
7:14-25
8:1-5
8:10-19
Warning #3
Warning #4
(no warning)
Flies on homes
Disease on cattle
Boils, sores: man & beast
8:20-24
9:1-7
9:8-12
Warning #5
Warning #6
(no warning)
Warning #7
Thunder, hail
Locusts
Darkness of 3 days
Firstborn, man and beast
9:18-35
10:1-20
10:21-29
11 & 12

When we read these chapters in Exodus, it is hard to fathom the hardness of heart of not only Pharoah but also the Egyptian population.  We see this same scenario in Revelation chapter 9.

Chapters 10-14 provide a pause of the three “woes” before the seventh trumpet.
