Chapter 506: Prophetic Illusion (2)

Then John saw that the God on the throne had a scroll full of words in his hand, and sealed it with seven seals, and a mighty angel declared that no one could open and read the scroll, because no one was worthy to do so. At this time www.biquge.info I saw that the three seemed to be the slaughtered lamb standing on the throne, the four beings, and the twenty-four elders, and this lamb had seven horns and seven eyes, and this was the seven spirits of God—and he had taken the scroll from the hand of the god on the throne, and only he could open the seven seals, and unfold and read the scroll.

Immediately the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders took their harps and a golden censer full of incense, and fell down before the Lamb, and the incense in the censer was the prayer of all the saints. John heard the four living creatures, and the twenty-four elders, and many angels around him, and all the creatures of heaven and earth speaking the same thing: The Lamb that was slain is worthy to take the scroll, and to open the seven seals, and to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and power, and honor, and glory, and praise; May all this be to God and Lamb on the throne forever.

The Lamb opened the first of the seven seals and said "Come!" to one of the four living creatures. "A victorious man with a bow and arrows and a crown appeared on a white horse; The Lamb opens the second seal, followed by another voice of "Come!" "And a man on a red horse appeared, and was given authority and a great sword, and showed that he could take the peace from the earth, and cause men to kill one another; Then the third seal was opened, and a man with a scale in his hand appeared before John on a black horse, and he could hear a voice from among the four living creatures, saying, "A penny buys a measure of wheat, and a penny buys three measures of barley; Oil and wine should not be wasted. “

The fourth seal was opened, and the fourth creature said again, "Come!" "And a man on a grey horse appeared, whose name was Death, and with him came the underworld, and they were given the right to destroy a quarter of the earth with the sword, and with famine, and with pestilence, and with wild beasts.

When the fifth seal was opened, some souls cried out with a loud voice under the sacrifices:--They were killed for upholding God's Word and bearing witness to God--"O holy and true God, how long will you not judge those who dwell on the earth and avenge us with bloodshed?" Then each of them will be satisfied when he is given a white garment and is told to rest for a piece of rest.

As soon as the sixth seal was opened, the heavens and the earth shook, the sun and the moon were gone, and the stars in the sky were like a gust of wind blowing down the unripe fruit of the trees. The sky is shifting, and so are the mountains and islands...... This is the Lamb in wrath! And the kings of the earth, and the rulers, and the captains, and the mighty men, and the rich, and all the slaves, and all the self-gods, took refuge in the caves and caves of the earth, to avoid the face of God and the wrath of the Lamb on the throne.

Then the four angels who had the upper hand on the earth stood on the four corners of the earth, and the wind was stopped, and another angel came up from the land of the rising sun, and took the seal of the living God, and gave the seal on the foreheads of God's servants. The number of the tribes of Israel who were sealed was 144,000; The tribe of Judah, Reuben, Gad, Aʹaw, Naphtali, Manasseh, Simeon, Levi, Issachar, Zebulun, Joseph, and Benjamin each had 12,000 seals.

And after that, from all the people came from all over the world, and people of different nations and nationalities, dressed in white robes and holding palm branches, stood before the throne and the Lamb and worshiped and praised the God and the Lamb on the throne, and the angels also bowed down with their faces to the ground and worshiped God and the Lamb.

One of the elders came to John and asked John who these white-robed men were, and where they came from, and John said, "You know, my God." "Then the elders told John that they had been delivered from the great tribulation, that their white garments had been washed with the blood of the Lamb, that they had served God day and night in the temple of God, that they were no longer afflicted by hunger, thirst, and the sun, that the Lamb had shepherded them, and that they had brought them to the fountain of life, and that God had wiped away their tears of sorrow.

Finally the Lamb opened the seventh seal, and immediately there was silence in heaven, and about two hours later, the seven angels standing before God were given seven trumpets, and an angel with a golden censer came to the altar, and the smoke of the censer and the prayers of all the saints slowly rose to God. The angel filled the altar with fire and poured out the censer on the ground, and there was a thunder and a great earthquake.

Then the seven angels who took the trumpet sounded their trumpets. When the first angel sounded his trumpet, hail fell from heaven mixed with fire and blood, and a third of the trees and grass were burned away.

When the second angel sounded his trumpet, the burning mountains tumbled into the sea, and the waters became blood, and a third of the creatures and ships of the sea were dead and bad.

And the third angel sounded his trumpet, and there was the great star called Yin Chen, which burned from heaven in the rivers and their waters, and the water in the rivers became bitter, and many people died.

And the fourth angel sounded his trumpet, and a third of the sun, moon, and stars were struck and dimmed, and the day was no longer bright, and the night was not shining. An eagle flew in the air and cried, "Three angels will blow the rest of the trumpets; Woe to you people who dwell on the earth! Woe to you! Woe to you! “

The fifth angel blew his trumpet, and a star came down from heaven, and opened the bottomless pit with the key of the bottomless pit, and a puff of smoke rose out of the pit, obscuring the sky and the sun; Swarms of locusts poured out with the smoke, and these locusts resembled horses ready to go on battle, with golden crowns on their heads, faces like men, hair like women, sharp teeth like lions, iron armor on their chests, and scorpion tails, they flapped their wings like galloping horses, and their envoys were to harm those who did not have the mark of God on their foreheads, and they were to wound these people with the poisonous hooks on their scorpion tails for five months, so that these people could endure the pain like scorpion stings, but they could not die. The messenger of the bottomless pit is the king of locusts, and his Hebrew name is Abaddon. This is the first plague for the people of the earth.

And the sixth angel began to blow his trumpet, and a voice came from the four corners of the golden altar before God commanding the trumpeting angel: "Let go the four messengers who were bound to the great river Euphrates." "The four messengers had already made a vow to kill a third of the people. At this time, he was released, and he immediately obeyed his vows. I saw that they had many soldiers and horses, and the cavalry wore armor like fire on their chests, accompanied by purple horses and brimstone, as if they were burning; The horses were all mighty, with heads like lions, and tails like serpents with the head of snakes, and fire and smoke spewed out of their mouths, and with streams of brimstone, so that a third of the people died at their feet. The remaining two-thirds, seeing this, still do not repent, still worship demons and idolatry, and continue to commit murder, sorcery, ****, and stealing.

And it came to pass, when the calamity had passed, that another angel came down from heaven, clothed in clouds, with a rainbow on his head, and with a face like the red sun, and his feet like pillars of fire, and he took in his hand a small scroll that was unfolded, and he stepped on the sea with his right foot, and with his left foot he stepped on the ground, and cried out with a loud voice like the roar of a lion. John was about to write down what he had seen, when a word came from heaven: "What the seven thunders say, seal it up, and don't write it down." Then he commanded him to take the little scroll from the angel's hand and eat it, saying that when he ate it, his mouth would feel as sweet as honey, but when he entered his stomach, his stomach would be bitter. John complied, and so it was. (To be continued.) )
