The first four seals were for the conquering of the carnal nature in us. Four is the number of earth and its fullness. Our earth is where the conquering takes place. “Self” or the ego is now gone!
Revelation 6:9 When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held.
10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?”
11 Then a white robe was given to each of them; and it was said to them that they should rest a little while longer, until both the number of their fellow servants and their brethren, who would be killed as they were, was completed.
The fifth seal reveals those that have been “slain” by the first four seals. They are now under the altar or dominion of Jesus Christ. These have been slain in the “soul” and the altar is the place where the sacrifice of death occurs. These were slain because of or as a result of the Word of GOD being a two-edged sword. They were awakened by the sounds of the hoofs of the four horses entering the land. They embraced the revelation of Love and boldly proclaimed the horses to “Come!”. The Word of GOD is now fully transforming their testimony revealing the Sons as a Living Testimony of Christ.
What is their testimony? They are known by their works as acceptable representatives of FATHER. They are doers of HIS living Words given to them daily. They have become HIS express image and their actions TESTIFY of HIM. In Romans chapter 8, Paul wrote of this Truth:
13 For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.”
16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,
17 and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.
Our slain souls will testify for all to see that we have changed and there will be no disputing of this truth. We will be witnesses above reproach to Christ in us. We too become TRUTH! We will have mortified the deeds of our flesh and our carnal thinking has been “beheaded”. Our mind, will, and emotions arising out of the carnal nature will be no more. We will have the mind of Christ as the source of our expression to others according to His Eternal purpose for each one of us. Our minds will have been processed through the three feasts discerning HIS Will:
Romans 12:2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
The phrase “avenge our blood” must be considered from the view of Love, not man’s bloodthirsty carnal nature. The Sons are in the restoration business, not the punishment business of retaliation. To avenge is to validate one’s actions. It refers to vindication or proving someone is not guilty. By HIS power and authority are we vindicated or validated. Our fruit will be inspected and shown to be good. We should expect an outworking of the fullness of Him to be brought about for all men to see. This validates us as HIS Sons to all the world. Authority will be challenged until it is validated by HIM. Power given to the Sons will be questioned until it has been expressed among the people.
Love will produce results in the Sons and every man and woman will be drawn unto FATHER as the power of HIS Love is unleashed through the Sons whose hearts are focused on the restoration of all mankind.
We are awaiting the completion of the maturity of the Sons for all to be revealed and glorified together. This verse and others suggest that we all are “harvested” together, not one at a time. May these writings support the maturing process of those who are not yet fully perfected! How can we attain perfection without understanding the Revelation of Jesus Christ through the eyes of Love? Let all the seals of the book be broken to expose the fullness of the Book of Love!
This will be a time of demonstration for all to see. There has been a “dearth” in the land for the past 18 years and longer. This has not been an idle time but one of preparation. Many declarations have come forth and some have been associated with world events yet the full manifestation of the power of the Sons has yet to be seen. There have been those who claim the event to have arrived yet the fruit has been lacking. I believe there will be no question when that wondrous day arrives. Each of the Sons will have that white robe of righteousness, a sign of full maturity. There will be no impatience among them for they will be at total peace of their destiny continually responding to the Word of FATHER and operating as HIS expression on earth. Signs, wonders, and miracles will be among the fruit for all to see. The fruit will provide the testimony and vindicate the narrow path chosen by those who gave up all to become mature Sons. All of creation awaits:
Romans 8:19 For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God.
