10 7 thunders

7 thunders

Rev.10:2 He had in his hand a little book open. He set his right foot on the sea, and his left on the land. Rev.10:3 He cried with a loud voice, as a lion roars. When he cried, the seven thunders uttered their voices. Rev.10:4 When the seven thunders sounded, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from the sky saying, "Seal up the things which the seven thunders said, and don't write them." †   The time of the 7 thunders sounded is right after the 6th trumpet is sounded, just before the beasts come up from the sea and the land, just before the beginning of the 70th week, and just before the beginning of the 2nd woe. Soon, countless witnesses will be martyred, but the word of God will be fulfilled, and death will ultimately be defeated.[1] John could clearly hear these thunders[2], but he was not allowed to record them. Even though the words of Revelation were opened[3], the word of 7 thunders are sealed. After that, John eats the little book. Are these 7 thunders sealed even to the firstfruits who will have to eat the little book and prophesy again? †   The LORD Jesus gives James and John the nickname 'Boanerges', that is, 'the sons of thunder'.[4] John the son of thunder, heard this word of 7 thunders. Judging from this, this word of 7 thunders may be sealed word to others, but opened word to the sons of thunder. Considering that John symbolizes the 2 witnesses, and the 2 witnesses symbolize the 144000 firstfruits who are redeemed from among men, perhaps these 144000, the last firstfruits who received God the Holy Spirit who comes even as the latter rain, may hear this word of 7 thunders. In other words, to most people this word of 7 thunders appears to be sealed, but to a few of them it is an opened word.[5] Perhaps John did not need to record the voices of these 7 thunders. Because those voices are probably already recorded in the little book. And this little book is opened, and John eats it. But this little book can only be eaten by John who is to prophesy again[6], and to others it is still sealed. †   If the LORD Jesus did not really want to make the voices of these 7 thunders known to the creatures, the LORD Jesus would not have let John hear the voices of these 7 thunders in the first place. Ezek.2:8 But you, son of man, hear what I tell you; don't be you rebellious like that rebellious house: open your mouth, and eat that which I give you. Ezek.2:9 When I looked, behold, a hand was put forth to me; and, behold, a scroll of a book was therein; Ezek.2:10 He spread it before me: and it was written within and without; and there were written therein lamentations, and mourning, and woe. †   The voices of thunders come from the throne.[7] When the throne and the ark of the covenant beneath it are visible[8], the voices of thunders sound.[9] The voices of thunders are also expressed as the voice of God.[10] The voice of God is like the noise of the wings of cherubim, like the noise of great waters, like a noise of tumult like the noise of a host.[11] Just as John heard the voices of thunders when he ate the little book, Ezekiel also heard this voice when he ate the scroll of a book that was written lamentations, and mourning, and woe therein. Those who had to eat the book and prophesy heard these voices of thunders. If so, the 2 witnesses who must prophesy again for the 1st half of the 70th week[12], that is, the 144000 firstfruits, will also be able to hear these voices of 7 thunders like John.[13] When the 144000 firstfruits appear, this voice of a great thunder like the voice of many waters sounds.[14] And this voice of thunder sounds like that of harpers playing on their harps. The 144000 probably sing a new song to the sound of this voice. And this new song can be learned and understood only by the 144000 firstfruits. It is not expressed as 'no one could sing the song', but as 'no one could learn the song' except for the 144000 firstfruits. In other words, it means that it is a song that only 144000 firstfruits can understand. Just as only John could hear the voices of thunders, a song that only 144000 can understand, may be the voices of thunders. If only 144000 can understand, only 144000 can sing and prophesy. When this new song, the eternal gospel that can be prophesied by the 144000, is sung, the Satan' armies are destroyed.[15] Perhaps these voices of 7 thunders may not be the eternal gospel itself, but those who prophesy the eternal gospel must hear this word of 7 thunders. †   Some view Revelation 14 as a scene showing the 144000 firstfruits after the 1st resurrection. Then, the new song sung by the 144000 or the eternal gospel to be introduced immediately after the new song, will have nothing to do with the prophecy of the 1st half of the 70th week or the word of 7 thunders. There are only beast worshipers on earth who have already received the mark of the beast because the 1st resurrection has already taken place, so what use is the eternal gospel saying to come out of Babylon and not to receive the mark of the beast? However, seeing that the harvest scene is only shown after the introduction of the 144000 and the eternal gospel, I think that the new song sung by the 144000 or the eternal gospel that is introduced right after the new song, represents the 'mission' entrusted to the 144000. After the 144000 firstfruits who are redeemed from among men, sing a new song and proclaim the eternal gospel for the 1st half of the 70th week, that is, after fufilling the word of 7 thunders, the harvest, the 1st resurrection, is considered to take place. The appearance of the martyr witnesses who are resurrected or transformed continues in Revelation 15. Amos3:7 Surely the Lord Yahweh will do nothing, Unless he reveals his secret to his servants the prophets. Amos3:8 The lion has roared. Who will not fear? The Lord Yahweh has spoken. Who can but prophesy? Is.31:4 For thus says Yahweh to me, As the lion and the young lion growling over his prey, if a multitude of shepherds are called forth against him, will not be dismayed at their voice, nor abase himself for the noise of them: so will Yahweh of Hosts come down to fight on Mount Zion, and on the hill of it. Is.31:5 As birds hovering, so will Yahweh of Hosts protect Jerusalem; he will protect and deliver [it], he will pass over and preserve [it]. Is.31:6 Turn you to him from whom you have deeply revolted, children of Israel. †   The voices of thunders that John heard were the cry of the mighty angel, like a roar of lion. The 4 living creatures, the 4 angels, that support the throne, also sometimes say like thunder.[16] The roar of lion is also expressed in the wrath of God who comes to crush the evildoers.[17] This anger, a roar-like crying that no one dares to stop, is proclaimed through the prophecies of the prophets.[18] The cry of this roar which was heard by John who had to eat the little book and proclaim the prophecy, is the 7 thunders. The time to prophesy by eating the little book is the 1st half of the 70th week, and the prophecy to be proclaimed for this 1st half of the 70th week is the eternal gospel. Seen in this way, this word of 7 thunders may be related to the eternal gospel to be proclaimed for the 1st half of the 70th week. The LORD Jesus makes the 2 witnesses understand the prophecy of wrath like a roar of lion, destroys the armies of Satan who establishes Babylon and attacks God's people, through the 2 witnesses, and brings God's people out of Babylon through the 2 witnesses.[19] Ezek.9:3 The glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon it was, to the threshold of the house: and he called to the man clothed in linen, who had the writer's inkhorn by his side. Ezek.9:4 Yahweh said to him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark on the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry over all the abominations that are done in the midst of it. Ezek.9:5 To the others he said in my hearing, Go you through the city after him, and strike: don't let your eye spare, neither have you pity; Ezek.9:6 kill utterly the old man, the young man and the virgin, and little children and women; but don't come near any man on whom is the mark: and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the old men that were before the house. †   Ezekiel eats the scroll of a book and proclaims the prophecy, the eternal gospel of that age, to the people of God who are captives in Babylon. John, the 2 witnesses, eats the little book and proclaims the prophecy, the eternal gospel of the 1st half of the 70th week, to the people of God who are captives in Babylon. Just as those with the seal of God on their foreheads escaped judgment, the 144000 with the seal of God on their foreheads will escape judgment.[20] Ezekiel ate the scroll of a book and proclaimed judgment and repentance to God's people.[21] The 2 witnesses in sackcloth also eat the little book and proclaim judgment and repentance to God's people.[22] Rev.10:5 The angel who I saw standing on the sea and on the land lifted up his right hand to the sky, Rev.10:6 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 will no longer be delay, Rev.10:7 but in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, then the mystery of God is finished, as he declared to his servants, the prophets. †   After the voices of 7 thunders, a swear follows. It is a swear that God will surely resurrect or transform the firstfruits at the time of the 7th trumpet. Even the angels long to look the 1st resurrection.[23] With the swear of the 1st resurrection, John, the 2 witnesses, the 144000 firstfruits, eats and understands the little book, the eternal gospel of the 1st half of the 70th week, the new song, the words of Revelation.

Conclusion  I see these voices of 7 thunders, the word of 7 thunders, as the eternal gospel of the 70th week contained in the little book, the book of Revelation, or as the truth that those who are to proclaim the eternal gospel must understand. This prophecy of 7 thunders has been sealed, but those who are to proclaim the prophecy, hear and understand these voices of 7 thunders. Those who receive this word of 7 thunders are the 144000 firstfruits who are sealed with God the Holy Spirit who comes even as the latter rain. They eat the little book and prophesy the eternal gospel again for the 1260 days in the 1st half of the 70th week.

[9] Rev.16:17 The seventh poured out his bowl into the air. A loud voice came forth out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, "It is done!" There were lightnings, sounds, and thunders; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since there were men on the earth, so great an earthquake, so mighty.

[11] Ezek.1:24 When they went, I heard the noise of their wings like the noise of great waters, like the voice of the Almighty, a noise of tumult like the noise of a host: when they stood, they let down their wings.

  Ezek.10:5 The sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of God Almighty when he speaks.

[12] Rev.11:3 I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.

[13] Rev.10:10 I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up. It was as sweet as honey in my mouth. When I had eaten it, my belly was made bitter. They told me, "You must prophesy again over many peoples, nations, languages, and kings."

[14] Rev.14:2 I heard a sound from heaven, like the sound of many waters, and like the sound of a great thunder. The sound which I heard was like that of harpers playing on their harps. They sing a new song before the throne, and before the four living creatures and the elders. No one could learn the song except the one hundred forty-four thousand, those who had been redeemed out of the earth.

[15] Rev.11:3 I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred sixty days, clothed in sackcloth. These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands, standing before the Lord of the earth. If anyone desires to harm them, fire proceeds out of their mouth and devours their enemies. If anyone desires to harm them, he must be killed in this way. These have the power to shut up the sky, that it may not rain during the days of their prophecy. They have power over the waters, to turn them into blood, and to strike the earth with every plague, as often as they desire.

[16] Rev.6:1 I saw that the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying, as with a voice of thunder, "Come and see!"

[17] Prov.19:2 It isn't good to have zeal without knowledge; Nor being hasty with one's feet and missing the way.

[18] Amos3:7 Surely the Lord Yahweh will do nothing, Unless he reveals his secret to his servants the prophets. The lion has roared. Who will not fear? The Lord Yahweh has spoken. Who can but prophesy?

[19] Rev.14:6 I saw an angel flying in mid heaven, having an eternal gospel to proclaim to those who dwell on the earth, and to every nation, tribe, language, and people. He said with a loud voice, "Fear the Lord, and give him glory; for the hour of his judgment has come. Worship him who made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and the springs of waters!" Another, a second angel, followed, saying, "Babylon the great has fallen, which has made all the nations to drink of the wine of the wrath of her sexual immorality."

[20] Rev.7:2 I saw another angel ascend from the sunrise, having the seal of the living God. He cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was given to harm the earth and the sea, saying, "Don't harm the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, until we have sealed the bondservants of our God on their foreheads!" I heard the number of those who were sealed, one hundred forty-four thousand, sealed out of every tribe of the children of Israel:

  Rev.9:4 They were told that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree, but only those men who don't have God's seal on their foreheads. They were given power not to kill them, but to torment them for five months. Their torment was like the torment of a scorpion, when it strikes a man. In those days men will seek death, and will in no way find it. They will desire to die, and death will flee from them.

[21] Ezek.3:9 As an adamant harder than flint have I made your forehead: don't be afraid of them, neither be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house. Moreover he said to me, Son of man, all my words that I shall speak to you receive in your heart, and hear with your ears. Go, get you to them of the captivity, to the children of your people, and speak to them, and tell them, Thus says the Lord Yahweh; whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear.

[22] Rev.11:6 These have the power to shut up the sky, that it may not rain during the days of their prophecy. They have power over the waters, to turn them into blood, and to strike the earth with every plague, as often as they desire.

[23] 1Pet.1:12 To them it was revealed, that not to themselves, but to you, did they minister these things, which now have been announced to you through those who preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent out from heaven; which things angels desire to look into. Therefore, prepare your minds for action, be sober and set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ --https://youtu.be/AupisuARmgQ?feature=shared
