Revelation 8:1 And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.
The steps to Spiritual maturity are now complete and the Sons have been named. How appropriate is it to have a time of contemplation, reverence, and to be totally awestruck by the momentous event all of creation has been awaiting- the impartation of power and authority to the Sons. The silence brings all into unity awaiting the next event:
2 And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and to them were given seven trumpets.
Before the sounding of the trumpets, the High Priest Jesus Christ brings forth the prayers of the saints and presents them in the Holy of Holies:
3 Then another angel, having a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.
4 And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, ascended before God from the angel’s hand.
The intercession for the saints is now complete and corrective judgment is about to be manifested on earth. The seven angels have been readied to bring forth the trumpets. Heaven was silenced in complete reverence and unity for this event at hand. The incense provides a sweet smelling fragrance acceptable to FATHER. This is accomplished by the SPIRIT making intercession on our behalf. It comes forth by the purity of fire and bespeaks of judgment against the unrighteous and lawless so the captives may be set free. Our Mediator is presenting the prayers to be answered and acted upon in the fullness of time. The trumpets are now lifted and ready.
5 Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and threw it to the earth. And there were noises, thunderings, lightnings, and an earthquake.
The fire from the altar brings forth the corrective judgments of FATHER to all the earth and it will be global in nature.
Hebrews 12:29 For our God is a consuming fire.
When the thunderings are released, they represent voices with power and authority and the Sons are now speaking only the Words they hears the FATHER say. Full empowerment has been released as a result of the prayers ascending to the Throne for the bringing forth of the Sons’ manifestation on earth. The lightnings represent the illumination of Truth and Love imparted to the earth by the Sons and as a result an earthquake shakes up and fully exposes the carnality of mankind all around the globe. All of the foundations of men are shaken by this impartation of power, authority, and revelation. This is done at the personal level as well at the corporate level for no aspect of creation is left out.
Fire is the agent of purification and transformation, not everlasting judgment as has been preached over and over in the past as fear tactics to keep people in submission to their church leaders. Yes, they may have been sincere in their preaching but they were sincerely wrong. The revelation of Love was the missing ingredient. Pause and think about it. This fire from Heaven was “kindled” at the Day of Pentecost when flames of fire sat upon them. That was the beginning but now we are coming to the culmination of the Age when the fire being cast down from Heaven will be all consuming. Jesus spoke of this progression in Luke 12:
49 “I came to send fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! (Day of Pentecost) 50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how distressed I am (death at the Cross) till it is accomplished.”
He is the firstfruit of the firstfruits and prepared the way to bring forth cloven tongues of fire (the Comforter) on the Day of Pentecost. This began the procession to bring forth the Sons for a full harvest at the end of the Age resulting in a fire being cast down from Heaven with full power, authority, and illumination. The foundations built by men will come tumbling down by the force of the resulting earthquake. Men’s authority will fall away as the true authority from Heaven is revealed among the Sons.
This fire from Heaven represents the Love, Truth, and righteousness of FATHER. It is cast into our “earth” to individually purify us by removing all the dross from our soul. It will shake up all of our past doctrines, views, philosophies, and biases and release them to be consumed in HIS fire. We must embrace this purging and be willing to change. Our trust in HIM allows us to make the choice without any fear of failure. the unknown, or true loss. The Sons must be separated from any hindrance that would prevent the fullness of their calling to come forth. They will be pure in heart and shall see FATHER for who HE is, the GOD of Love and HE will truly consume all the impurities keeping us from our Divine intent. Now is the time for the transition of authority to come into full focus. I must change and you must change, so embrace the change rather than defending an un-defendable position. My choice is to embrace change that I be chosen.
