Revelation 10 KJV

[1] And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire: [2] and he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth, [3] and cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices. [4] And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not. [5] And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven, [6] and sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer: [7] but in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets. [8] And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth. [9] And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey. [10] And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter. [11] And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.

Note for 20240908

The time has come to reveal more. I said to the Lord, I don't know what to write, I do not understand. And He said to me, "write as you have taught to write, I will meet you in the word." You know, sometimes our testimony of the Lord is somewhat strange and words do not always meet it as perceived at first. A knowing that comes from where you know is nothing of the sort, and still, these words do not meet the meaning either. Like here, do you think we are meant to know what was uttered by the seven thunders, or who they are? It's been sealed, and was not recorded by John, as he was instructed. Now, we are not meant to know, but the day will come as it is stated here; but when the seventh angel sounds, then the mystery of GOD should be finished.

I don't know what the little book is. I do not understand the description of the angel nor what it means. I do not know why the words of the 7 thunders were sealed. There are many things I do not know. But, I do know Christ and I pray to our Father in Heaven. I know to walk in the Spirit, and though I hate it, I still fail far too often. In many ways, I am often more like Balaam's donkey. And yet, so often, I am instructed to speak or write, when I do not know what comes next.

So, as far as I know; I do not know more than any one that is or has been a vessel in the Lord's Hand. I am the least of them. Maybe, today is just to prove to all of you, that it is not my words that you have read and heard; the Lord knows. The Lord said to write, so I write. I told you, do not follow me, but follow the LORD.

What have we learned just recently though? 6 trumpets have sounded, two woes are done. The seals are opened, and what we have read thus far, since the 7th seal, it opened the trumpets and these are part of the 7th seal. Yes, the 6 trumpets; and, the 7 thunders, of which we know nothing. It is as if this entire chapter is somewhat sealed, to me at least. I have nothing to add and maybe it is not a bad thing to admit it.

You know, it is a lot like our faith in Christ. We have not seen Him, we know Him by His Word. His Word is in us, and the Holy Spirit reminds us of what He said. We can only know what we know, until more is revealed to us. Yes, so much of our faith depends on Trust. We trust that, which we Trusted at first, that saved us then and has kept us safe until now. Knowing that as our fathers that came before us, our dust will return to the earth at some point in time. That day is known by the LORD, He knows our first and last breath too and everyone in between. We were in trouble before, and look, here we are today and nobody but GOD can have the honor for that. We were kept, and it is the foundation of our trust. Not only that He will do for us again what He has done before for us, but also that He will do for us, what He has done for others. So, though we pass through the valley of the Shadow of death, we should not fear. For He will lead us to still waters and renew our strength. He is our peace of mind and heart.

Solomon wrote that wisdom starts with the fear of GOD. And is wisdom not the successful application of knowledge? So, we often come to a moment, where inwardly at least, we must be able to admit that we don't know. But this I do know, when I must know I will. For that, I trust the Lord too.

I, like I am sure it is with you, have learned much as we read through the Bible. Some concepts that I had were renewed and strengthened; and some, were corrected. Maybe next time through, we will know more at this point. For now, the sum total of my reflection on this chapter is that I do not know, and trust the Lord in it. He will give it to me; reveal it, when it is mine to have. I am not going to guess.

Shalom.

For those that couldn’t listen yesterday, as I did not find the time myself. Here is a link to the first video on Revelation 10 again.

Verse of The Day

(YouVersion - Expanded from verse 2)

Ephesians 4:1-8 KJV

[1] I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, [2] with all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; [3] endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. [4] There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; [5] one Lord, one faith, one baptism, [6] one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. [7] But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. [8] Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, And gave gifts unto men.

From Psalms and Proverbs

Psalm 101:1-8 KJV

[1] I will sing of mercy and judgment: Unto thee, O LORD, will I sing. [2] I will behave myself wisely In a perfect way. O when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart. [3] I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; It shall not cleave to me. [4] A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person. [5] Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, Him will I cut off: Him that hath an high look And a proud heart will not I suffer. [6] Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful Of the land, that they may dwell with me: He that walketh in a perfect way, He shall serve me. [7] He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: He that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight. [8] I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; That I may cut off All wicked doers from the city of the LORD.

Proverbs 3:1-14 KJV

[1] My son, forget not my law; But let thine heart keep my commandments: [2] For length of days, and long life, And peace, shall they add to thee. [3] Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: Bind them about thy neck; Write them upon the table of thine heart: [4] So shalt thou find favour and good understanding In the sight of God and man. [5] Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; And lean not unto thine own understanding. [6] In all thy ways acknowledge him, And he shall direct thy paths. [7] Be not wise in thine own eyes: Fear the LORD, and depart from evil. [8] It shall be health to thy navel, And marrow to thy bones. [9] Honour the LORD with thy substance, And with the firstfruits of all thine increase: [10] So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, And thy presses shall burst out with new wine. [11] My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; Neither be weary of his correction: [12] For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; Even as a father the son in whom he delighteth. [13] Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, And the man that getteth understanding. [14] For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, And the gain thereof than fine gold.
