15 When does the sealing which begins with the 6th seal being broken, come to be finished?

When does the sealing which begins with the 6th seal being broken[1], come to be finished?

=When will the 144000 firstfruits be completed their sealing begins when the 6th seal is broken?

Premise1: Assume that the 144000 in Revelation 7[2] and the 144000 in Revelation 14 are the same saints. Premise2: Consider only the sealing of the 144000 firstfruits who are redeemed from among men.[3] We do not consider the sealing of the saints who have the firstfruits of the Spirit[4], who are the same martyr witnesses like the 144000.[5] Therefore, we think only about when the firstfruits who are redeemed from among men, the last firstfruits of the 3 firstfruits of the feasts[6], will be prepared, not when all the appointed number of martyr witnesses is completed.[7] Therefore, we do not think about the seal[8] that is sealed on the saints[9] who have the firstfruits of the Spirit[10], other than the seal that is sealed on the 144000 firstfruits.

Rev.7:1 After this, I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, so that no wind would blow on the earth, or on the sea, or on any tree. 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, Rev.7:3 saying, "Don't harm the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, until we have sealed the bondservants of our God on their foreheads!"

View 1: The sealing come to be finished at the time of the '4th trumpet', before the 5th trumpet is sounded, before the 1st woe that harms only the unsealed begins.

Premise1: It is assumed that the harm of locusts is a simple disaster that has nothing to do with the appearance of the beasts. Premise2: Assume that those who will eat the little book and prophesy again for the 1st half of the 70th week, will be sealed as the 144000. Premise3: The 4 winds in Revelation 7 and the 4 angels of Euphrates in Revelation 9 are the same angels, and the earth and the sea where harm is withheld are the earth and the sea from which beasts rise up, not the actual earth, sea, and trees of the earth.

The locusts that come out after the 5th trumpet is sounded, harm only those who are not sealed. This means that the sealing was completed before that time. Therefore, before the 5th trumpet, the 1st woe, is sounded, the 144000 firstfruits who are redeemed from among men are completed.   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. †   If the sealing is not completed, they cannot harm only the unsealed. Therefore, the sealing must have already been completed before the 5th trumpet, the 1st woe, is sounded. After the time of the 5th trumpet, there will be no more firstfruits to be sealed. However, there may be an opinion that understands the meaning of 'Do harm except for the firstfruits of those who have been sealed up to this point even though the sealing has not been completed yet'. If that is the case, it means that the firstfruits of those who would have been sealed and avoided the harm if the 1st woe was poured out a little earlier, may be harmed by pouring out the 1st woe a little earlier. It seems to be an assumption that makes the sealing sound like a little incomplete. †   To make up for the opinion that makes the sealing be considered incomplete, it may be argued that 'the one who will be sealed may also avoid the harm like the one who has been sealed, even though he/she has not yet been sealed.' However, if anyone avoided the harm like the one who was already sealed, even if he/she has not yet been sealed, because those who will be sealed later will surely be sealed, what is the difference between 'was sealed' and 'will be sealed'? Therefore, the sealing must have been finished before the 5th trumpet is sounded. †   The command given before the sealing was not to harm the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees.[11] Trees are people.[12] There are some trees that need to be protected.[13] Therefore, when the sealing of the trees is finished, beasts come up from the sea and the earth and harm the sea and the earth and the trees therein.[14] When the 5th trumpet is sounded, a command is given not to hurt the grass nor any tree. Since the sealed 144000 come to be able to avoid the harm, the command is given to hurt the unsealed except trees.

Question about view 1  Those who are sealed will eat the little book and prophesy again after the 6th trumpet is sounded.[15] However, if the sealing has already been finished at the time of the 4th trumpet before the 5th trumpet is sounded, there is a gap called the 5th trumpet between the 4th trumpet that the sealing has already been finished and the 6th trumpet that the 2 witnesses eat the little book. Isn't the seal sealed on those who eat the little book? How can those who have not eaten the little book, be sealed? A more detailed explanation of what the seal has to do with eating the little book and prophesying is needed.  After the 6th trumpet (2nd woe) is sounded, the 4 angels who will harm the earth and the sea, are released. At this time, a mighty angel standing on the sea and on the land who cries with the 7 thunders, gives the little book.[16] The eternal gospel is proclaimed for the 1st half of the 70th week, that is, 3 years and 6 months, by those who received and ate the little book.[17] In the meantime[18], the saints suffer the great tribulation.[19] (There may be an opinion that the great tribulation will begin 'with' the 1st half of the 70th week, by interpreting 'half' in Dan 9:27 as 'for half'.[20] And there may be an opinion that the great tribulation will begin 'in' the 1st half of the 70th week, by interpreting 'half' in Dan 9:27 as 'in the middle'.) Only at the end of the great tribulation does the 1st resurrection take place and the rest of the 2nd half of the 70th week continues. If the sealing is completed before the end of the time of the 4th trumpet before the 5th trumpet is sounded, what do those who are sealed do during the time of the 5th trumpet? After the 6th trumpet is sounded, those who are sealed eat the little book and prophesy. However, if the sealing is finished until the 4th trumpet is sounded, and after the 5th trumpet is sounded, those who will be harmed and those who will be exempted, are already separated, then, aren't those who are sealed those who ate the little book? When the 5th trumpet is sounded, can't the eternal gospel be proclaimed by those who have already been sealed? Is there any reason that they do nothing at the time of the 5th trumpet and then eat the little book and prophesy again only after the 6th trumpet is sounded?  Are the trumpets sounded over a long period of time or are all trumpets sounded sequentially at once in one period? If the trumpets are sounded sequentially in one era, it can be said that eating the little book and preparing to prophesy begins before the 6th trumpet is sounded and is fulfilled in earnest after the 6th trumpet is sounded. If there is a gap of several decades between the times when each trumpet is sounded, the trumpets have already been sounded, and 2022 may be the age of the 6th trumpet. If so, it would be necessary to explain how each trumpet has progressed in each era. However, I believe that the book of Revelation is mostly written around the 70th week or so. I believe there will be no rest or recovery period from the time the Lamb breaks the seals and the earth1/4 people die until the earth is destroyed.

View 2: The sealing come to be finished in the time of the 2nd woe, that is, in the time of the '5th trumpet' before the 6th trumpet is sounded.

=Sealing is made while the locusts are harming, but there is no further sealing after the beasts come up.

Premise1: When the 6th trumpet is souned, the beasts rise from the sea and the earth, and the 70th week begins. Premise2: The 4 winds in Revelation 7 and the 4 angels of Euphrates in Revelation 9 are the same angels, and the earth and the sea where harm is withheld are the earth and the sea from which beasts rise up, not the actual earth, sea, and trees of the earth.

When the 2nd woe, the 6th trumpet is sounded, the 4 angels bound at the great river Euphrates are released, killing people1/3. Therefore, the sealing may be finished during the time of the 1st woe, the time of the 5th trumpet. The 2nd woe ends with the catching up of the 1st resurrection.[21] During the time of the 1st woe, the time of the 5th trumpet, the sealing come to be finished and the 144000 firstfruits who are redeemed from among men, are completed. Since the 4 angels are released after the 6th trumpet is sounded, the sealing that was almost completed around the time of the 1st woe, the time of the 5th trumpet, may be finished just before the 6th trumpet, the 2nd woe, is sounded.   Rev.9:13 The sixth angel sounded. I heard a voice from the horns of the golden altar which is before God, Rev.9:14 saying to the sixth angel who had one trumpet, "Free the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates!" Rev.9:15 The four angels were freed who had been prepared for that hour and day and month and year, so that they would kill one third of mankind. Rev.9:16 The number of the armies of the horsemen was ten thousands of ten thousands. I heard the number of them. †   Here, the angels holding the 4 winds of the earth and prevent them from blowing, are those who have the authority to harm the sea and the earth. The 4 angels bound at the great river Euphrates are the angels who have prepared to kill people1/3.[22] When the 4 winds blow, beasts come up from the sea[23] and the earth[24] to harm the sea and the earth, that is, the world.[25] In other words, strong political power rises through the winds of war.[26] It may or may not be that the angels holding the 4 winds of the earth and prevent them from blowing, are the 4 angels bound at the great river Euphrates. But either way, until the sealing is finished, the sea and the earth must not be harmed, and people1/3 must not die. When the 6th trumpet is sounded, the 4 angels bound at Euphrates and prepared to kill people1/3, are released. This means that when the 6th trumpet is sounded, the sealing has already been completed. Therefore, it can be argued that the sealing was completed before the time of the 2nd woe, the 6th trumpet is sounded.

Question about view 2  After the 5th trumpet is sounded, only those who have not been sealed, will be harmed. If the sealing is finished before the 6th trumpet is sounded, that is, before the time of the 5th trumpet is over, it means that the seal is being sealed on during the time of the 5th trumpet. In other words, the 144000 firstfruits who are redeemed from among men, who will be sealed and avoid the harm, have not yet been identified. If the 144000 firstfruits who will be sealed and avoid the harm, have not yet been identified, how can the command to harm except the 144000 firstfruits, be executed?

View 3: The sealing come to be finished when the '6th trumpet' is sounded and the beasts come up from the sea and the earth.

=Sealing may also be done during the time of the coming up the beasts.

Premise1: The 4 angels holding the 4 winds, are those who are bound at the great river Euphrates. Premise2: When the 4 winds blow, the beasts rise. Premise3: The rising beasts refer to the beast that comes up from the sea and the beast that comes up from the earth in Revelation 13. Premise4: The 70th week begins with the appearance of the beasts. Premise5: The 4 winds in Revelation 7 and the 4 angels of Euphrates in Revelation 9 are the same angels, and the earth and the sea where harm is withheld are the earth and the sea from which beasts rise up, not the actual earth, sea, and trees of the earth.

Sealing continues until the 6th trumpet is sounded, and after the 6th trumpet is sounded and the 4 winds blow, the beasts come up from the sea and from the earth. The sealing that continued until then is finished at that time.

Question about view 3  It is the same as the question in view 2. How can the 144000 firstfruits who are redeemed from among men, be distinguished when the sealing has not yet been completed? And how can the 144000 firstfruits avoid the harm when they are not distinguished? If the sealing is completed right after the 6th trumpet is sounded, how can the 144000 firstfruits avoid the locusts that come up right after the 5th trumpet is sounded and harm only those who have not been sealed? When the locusts harm only those who have not been sealed, what will happen to those who have not yet been sealed but will soon be sealed?  When the 6th trumpet is sounded and the beasts come up, the 70th week begins. The meaning of the beginning of the 70th week means that not only the beasts, but also the sealed firstfruits who will fight the beasts, have already been established. But how can the 70th week begins before the sealed firstfruits have been established? Could it be that the beasts do not come up immediately after the 6th trumpet is sounded, but before that, after the 6th trumpet is sounded, the 144000 firstfruits are sealed first and then the beasts come up? Seeing that the mighty angel standing on the sea and on the land, gives the little book, there is a possibility. However, how can the 144000 firstfruits avoid the harm of locusts which harm only those who are not sealed, at the time of the 5th trumpet?

View 4: The sealing which began after the '6th seal' is broken, come to be finished before the 7th seal is broken, that is, be finished before the 1st trumpet is sounded.

Premise1: Assume that the 2 witnesses are the 144000 firstfruits or the 144000 are included in the 2 witnesses. Premise2: It is assumed that those who eat the little book and will prophesy again for the 1st half of the 70th week, are sealed with the seal of the 144000 firstfruits. Premise3: The 4 winds in Revelation 7 and the 4 angels of Euphrates in Revelation 9 are different angels, and the earth, sea, and trees where harm is withheld are the actual earth, sea, and trees of the earth, not the sea and the earth from which beasts rise up. After the Lamb breaks the 7th seal, the actual earth, sea, and trees of the earth are harmed. The sealing must have been completed before then.

When the 6th seal is broken, sealing begins and is completed. The sealing that begins after the 6th seal is broken, come to be finished before the 7th seal is broken and before the result of the 6th seal is fulfilled. In other words, before the 7th seal is broken, the 144000 firstfruits are completed.   Rev.8:1 When he opened the seventh seal, there followed a silence in heaven for about half an hour. Rev.8:2 I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them. Rev.8:3 Another angel came and stood over the altar, having a golden censer. Much incense was given to him, that he should add it to the prayers of all the saints on the golden altar which was before the throne. Rev.8:4 The smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, went up before God out of the angel's hand. Rev.8:5 The angel took the censer, and he filled it with the fire of the altar, and threw it on the earth. There followed thunders, sounds, lightnings, and an earthquake. Rev.8:6 The seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound. Rev.8:7 The first sounded, and there followed hail and fire, mixed with blood, and they were thrown on the earth. One third of the earth was burnt up, and one third of the trees were burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up. †   After the Lamb breaks the 6th seal, a waiting order is issued until the 144000 are sealed on their foreheads.[27] The sealing probably begins at this time and will be finished before the breaking of the 7th seal, that is, before the 7 trumpets come out. When each trumpet is sounded, the sea and the earth are harmed. Since it was commanded not to harm the earth[28], the sea, and the trees until the 144000 firstfruits are sealed, the sealing would probably be finished before the 1st trumpet is sounded, when 1/3 of the earth and the trees are burned with hail and fire mixed with blood. The 4 winds cannot harm the earth, the sea, or the trees until the sealing is finished. Immediately after the 1st trumpet is sounded, 1/3 of the earth and trees are harmed. The meaning that the earth and the trees can be harmed, means that the sealing is over. †   The earth and the sea that should not be harmed until the end of the sealing, include the literal actual earth and sea, as well as the symbolic earth and sea from which the beasts will rise later. The beasts come up from the symbolic sea and earth[29] only at the time of the 6th trumpet and harm the symbolic sea and earth[30], but the actual sea and earth are harmed from the time of the 1st trumpet. The sealed 144000 will not be harmed, not only at the time of the 6th trumpet when the symbolic sea and earth are harmed by the symbolic beasts, but also at the time of the 1st trumpet when the actual sea and earth are desolated. Of course, the 144000 will not be harmed by the locusts at the time of the 5th trumpet or the beasts at the time of the 6th trumpet. Therefore, the sealing will begin after the Lamb breaks the 6th seal and will be finished before the breaking of the 7th seal. Since the Lamb must protect the 144000 firstfruits from the harm, it seems that the trumpets are waiting for the sealing to be finished. †   After the 7th seal is broken, incense is offered on the golden altar of incense in front of the throne. This is the beginning of the official Day of Atonement for the creation world.[31] The atonement is the process of perfecting the free will granted to the creatures. In other words, since it is now confirmed that the proof of the Creator's love and justice will be fully made, the atonement begins. (It means that the atonement begins with incense, not that it is finished.) The truthfulness of the commandments, that is, the possibleness of the observance of the commandments, is proved through the resurrection and the transformation of the martyr witnesses who loved God and their neighbors to death.[32] The proved truthfulenss of the commandments reveals the falsehood of Satan's accusation that 'God has given His creatures the commandments that the creatures cannot keep'.[33] Therefore, when the martyr witnesses prove that they have kept the commandments through their resurrection or transformation, all the doubts about God that were sown in the hearts of the angels who heard Satan's accusation against God's commandments, are washed away.[34] The free will of the angels is finally perfected.[35] Therefore, even if God judges the act of breaking the commandments and trampling on neighbors as sin[36], the creatures do not misunderstand God's love and justice.[37] †   Atonement is the process of annihilating the possibility to sin in the creation world.[38] It is the process of perfecting the creatures into things that will never sin again.[39] Therefore, the beginning of the atonement means that the free will of the creatures will soon be perfected. Only by realizing God's love and justice without any doubt[40] can the free will of the creatures be perfected.[41] Only through the resurrection and the transformation of the martyr witnesses who overcame sin by keeping the commandments[42], do the creatures' doubts about God disappear. Therefore, the beginning of the atonement also means that the resurrection and the transformation will soon take place. In other words, that the atonement has begun means that the proof of the truthfulness of the commandments is almost finished or will be finished soon with certainty, and it means that the last firstfruits, that is, the 144000 firstfruits who are redeemed from among men, to be resurrected or transformed, are finally ready. Since the resurrection and the transformation take place only when all the 3 firstfruits are produced[43], the atonement for the creation world can begin only when the firstfruits who are redeemed from among men, the last firstfruits, are produced. (As per the above premise, only the 144000 firstfruits are considered limited[44], and the saints who have the firstfruits of the Spirit are not considered.[45] Therefore, we do not think about when the appointed number of all martyr witnesses will be completed.[46] We think only about when the sealing of the firstfruits who are redeemed from among men is finished.) †   The 7th seal is broken, and the incense for atonement is offered.[47] Atonement can be made only when[48] all the 3 firstfruits[49] have been produced[50], so the meaning of the incense for the atonement is that the last firstfruits are ready. It means that the sealing of the last firstfruits, that is, the firstfruits who are redeemed from among men, has been finished. Therefore, the sealing of the 144000 firstfruits will be finished before the breaking of the 7th seal. †   I see the sealing of the 144000 firstfruits who are redeemed from among men, as God the Holy Spirit comes even as the latter rain. God the Holy Spirit comes even as the latter rain upon the saints who have the firstfruits of the Spirit who came as the early rain, and makes the saints into the 144000 firstfruits who are redeemed from among men. †   Until the 1st resurrection takes place with the 7th trumpet, it can be thought that the witnesses who received God the Holy Spirit who came even as the latter rain, are prophesying the eternal gospel while the previous 6 trumpets are sounding. If the eternal gospel is prophesied during the period of sounding of the 6 trumpets, (Unless the 2 witnesses, the sealed 144000 firstfruits, who prophesy for the 1260 days, that is, for the 1st half of the 70th week[51], wait from the time after the 1st trumpet is sounded to the time before the 6th trumpet is sounded, regardless of prophesying, doing nothing.) there may be an opinion that the period of the 6 golden trumpets after the breaking of the 7th seal, is regarded as the 1st half of the 70th week. After the 7th trumpet is sounded and before the 7 golden bowl plagues are poured out on the earth, all the martyr witnesses are resurrected or transformed and are caught up into the air. The eternal gospel cannot be prophesied while the 7 plagues are poured out. Even if it is not a view that sees the entire period of the 6 golden trumpets as the 1st half of the 70th week, but it is a view that the eternal gospel is prophesied from the time of the 1st trumpet is sound, right after the 7th seal is broken, to the time before the 7th trumpet is sounded, that is, until the end of the results of the 6th trumpet. However, since the 70th week can only begin after the beast to make a firm covenant for 1 week comes up[52], I believe that the 70th week will begin during the period of the 6th trumpet[53] when the beasts rise from the sea and the earth.[54]

Question about view 4  This is similar to the question in view 1. If the sealing has already been finished before the breaking of the 7th seal, what are the 144000 firstfruits doing from the time after the breaking of the 7th seal to the time before the 6th trumpet is sounded and the prophesying of the 1260 days begins, that is, from the time of the 1st trumpet to the time of the 5th trumpet, what are they doing? Are they possibly prophesying the eternal gospel? After the 6th trumpet is sounded, the 2 witnesses eat the little book and recieve the authority. Doesn't the little book in which the prophecy of the 70th week is written, mean the eternal gospel of the 70th week? Isn't eating the little book[55] a symbol of being sealed?[56] The little book appears after the 6th trumpet is sounded. If eating the little book and prophesying again means being sealed and proclaiming the eternal gospel, how can the sealing be finished at the time of the 6th seal before the 1st trumpet is sounded, let alone the 6th trumpet?

Answer to the question about view 4  Although the opened little book[57] refers to the book of Revelation in which the revelation is revealed[58], and the scene of eating the little book comes only after the 6th trumpet is sounded, eating the little book and preparing for prophesying can take place even before the time of the 6th trumpet. This means that the event in which a mighty angel blocks the appearance of the beasts may not happen only after the 6th trumpet is sounded. The 4 winds are already holded from the time of the 6th seal of Revelation 7[59], and when we look at Dan 7[60], the 4 winds are closely related to the appearance of the beasts. Therefore, the mighty angel in Revelation 10 may not come down from heaven only after the 6th trumpet is sounded. It may be a scene that only shows when the time of the 6th trumpet, when the beasts come up, that the angel has been blocking the appearance of the beasts by standing on the sea and on the earth before that, probably from the time of the 6th seal. In other words, it means that the scene where the mighty angel stands on the sea and the earth to prevent the appearance of the beasts[61], can be the same scene as the 4 angels hold the 4 winds from harming the sea and the earth.[62] And it means that the scene of receiving the mission to prophesy again after eating the little book[63], can be the same scene as receiving the seal on the forehead.[64] If so, there is a possibility that the 1st to 6th trumpets have been sounded while the mighty angel has been preventing the beasts from coming up from the sea and the earth. (If Satan was cast out to the earth[65] at the time of the 5th trumpet[66], the angel would only need to block the appearance of the beasts at the period of the 5th trumpet and at the beginning of the 6th trumpet.) Eating the little book may have finished before the 7th seal was broken. In other words, it means that the time of the 6th seal when the 144000 are sealed, may be the time of eating the little book. Of course, it is also possible to speculate that the eternal gospel has been being prophesied during the period from the 1st trumpet to the 5th trumpet before the sounding of the 6th trumpet. (Still, the full-scale ministry will take place for the 1st half of the 70th week within the period of the 6th trumpet. I don't think the 2 witnesses, the 144000 firstfruits, will be able to smash the armies of the beasts with various plagues before the 70th week has even begun.[67])  Although the sealing of the little book has already been finished at the time of the 6th seal, the reason the scene of the mighty angel and the little book is only shown after the 6th trumpet is sounded, is probably because the beasts come up only after the 6th trumpet is sounded. (Since the overcomers in Revelation 7 show in advance the overcomers who endured the great tribulation in the 70th week, it cannot be said that the sealing was necessarily completed at the time of the 6th seal. This is because it may be a scene that shows in advance those who will be sealed and will pass through the great tribulation. In any case, the sealing will be finished before the great tribulation begins.) The 70th week can only begin when both the saints who will overcome the beasts and the beasts that will persecute the saints, are prepared.[68] And the beasts come up[69] only after the 6th trumpet is sounded.[70] Therefore, it seems to show the 144000 who ate the little book, contrasted with the beasts only after the 6th trumpet is sounded when the beasts come up. The 144000 symbolized by the 2 witnesses, prophesy the eternal gospel of the little book[71], the truth of the Revelation, for the 1st half of the 70th week when the beasts persecute the saints[72], and smash the armies of the beast, but do not exterminate them.[73]  The book of Revelation is mostly a record of events that will take place around the 70th week. If we do not know the prophecy of the 70th week, how can we prophesy in the 70th week? If God permits, the 2 witnesses could destroy the beast forces. But God does not do that. God could have fully destroyed Egypt through Moses. But God did not do that. Of course, God does not necessarily need angels or humans to destroy criminals.[74] But God judges criminals through[75] angels[76] or humans.[77]  If the eternal gospel was being prophesied during the period from the 1st trumpet to the 5th trumpet before the sounding of the 6th trumpet, should all the period during which the eternal gospel be prophesied, be regarded as the 1st half of the 70th week? I don't think that is possible. In order for the 70th week to begin, not only the 2 witnesses but also the beasts that will persecute the saints, must be prepared. Assuming that the 4 angels of Euphrates raise the beasts[78], the beasts rise only after the 6th trumpet is sounded. Therefore, even if the eternal gospel has been being prophesied before the 6th trumpet is sounded, it seems difficult to see that the period when the beasts did not come up, is included in the 70th week. Even if the eternal gospel can be prophesied even before the beasts rise, the eternal gospel that is prophesied in the freedom of faith without persecution of the beast and the eternal gospel that is prophesied under the severe persecution of the beast that has taken over the world[79], will not have the same weight.

[1] Rev.6:12 I saw when he opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake. The sun became black as sackcloth made of hair, and the whole moon became as blood.

[2] Rev.7:3 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:

[3] Rev.14:3 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. These are those who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are those who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These were redeemed by Jesus from among men, the first fruits to God and to the Lamb.

[4] Rom.8:23 Not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for adoption, the redemption of our body.

[5] Rev.7:9 After these things I saw, and behold, a great multitude, which no man could number, out of every nation and of all tribes, peoples, and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands. They cried with a loud voice, saying, "Salvation be to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!" All the angels were standing around the throne, the elders, and the four living creatures; and they fell before his throne on their faces, and worshiped God, saying, "Amen! Blessing, glory, wisdom, thanksgiving, honor, power, and might, be to our God forever and ever! Amen." One of the elders answered, saying to me, "These who are arrayed in white robes, who are they, and where did they come from?" I told him, "My lord, you know." He said to me, "These are those who came out of the great oppression. They washed their robes, and made them white in the Lamb's blood.

[6] Ex.23:14 "You shall observe a feast to me three times a year. You shall observe the feast of unleavened bread. Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, at the time appointed in the month Abib (for in it you came out from Egypt), and no one shall appear before me empty. And the feast of harvest, the first fruits of your labors, which you sow in the field: and the feast of harvest, at the end of the year, when you gather in your labors out of the field.

[7] Rev.6:9 When he opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been killed for the Word of God, and for the testimony of the Lamb which they had. They cried with a loud voice, saying, "How long, Master, the holy and true, do you not judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?" A long white robe was given them. They were told that they should rest yet for a while, until their fellow servants and their brothers, who would also be killed even as they were, completed their course.

[8] 2Cor.1:22 who also sealed us, and gave us the down payment of the Spirit in our hearts.

[9] Eph.1:13 in whom you also, having heard the word of the truth, the gospel of your salvation, -- in whom, having also believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,

[10] Eph.4:30 Don't grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.

[11] Rev.7:3 saying, "Don't harm the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, until we have sealed the bondservants of our God on their foreheads!"

[12] Judg.9:10 The trees said to the fig tree, Come you, and reign over us. But the fig tree said to them, Should I leave my sweetness, and my good fruit, and go to wave back and forth over the trees? The trees said to the vine, Come you, and reign over us. The vine said to them, Should I leave my new wine, which cheers God and man, and go to wave back and forth over the trees? Then said all the trees to the bramble, Come you, and reign over us.

[13] Rom.11:20 True; by their unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by your faith. Don't be conceited, but fear; for if God didn't spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you.

[14] Rev.13:1 Then I stood on the sand of the sea. I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads. On his horns were ten crowns, and on his heads, blasphemous names.

  Rev.13:11 I saw another beast coming up out of the earth. He had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke like a dragon.

[15] 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."

[16] Rev.10:1 I saw a mighty angel coming down out of the sky, clothed with a cloud. A rainbow was on his head. His face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire. He had in his hand a little book open. He set his right foot on the sea, and his left on the land.

[17] Rev.11:2 Leave out the court which is outside of the temple, and don't measure it, for it has been given to the gentiles. They will tread the holy city under foot for forty-two months. I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.

[18] Dan.9:27 He shall make a firm covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week(view2:for half of the week) he shall cause the sacrifice and the offering to cease; and on the wing of abominations [shall come] one who makes desolate; and even to the full end, and that determined, shall [wrath] be poured out on the desolate.

[19] Dan.12:11 From the time that the continual [burnt offering] shall be taken away, and the abomination that makes desolate set up, there shall be one thousand two hundred ninety days.

[20] Dan.9:27 He shall make a firm covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week(view2:for half of the week) he shall cause the sacrifice and the offering to cease; and on the wing of abominations [shall come] one who makes desolate; and even to the full end, and that determined, shall [wrath] be poured out on the desolate.

[21] Rev.11:12 I heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, "Come up here!" They went up into heaven in the cloud, and their enemies saw them. In that day there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell. Seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the rest were terrified, and gave glory to the God of heaven. The second woe is past. Behold, the third woe comes quickly.

[22] Rev.9:14 saying to the sixth angel who had one trumpet, "Free the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates!" The four angels were freed who had been prepared for that hour and day and month and year, so that they would kill one third of mankind.

[23] Rev.17:15 He said to me, "The waters which you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations, and languages.

[24] Rev.13:11 I saw another beast coming up out of the earth. He had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke like a dragon.

[25] Dan.7:2 Daniel spoke and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the sky broke forth on the great sea. Four great animals came up from the sea, diverse one from another.

[26] Dan.7:17 These great animals, which are four, are four kings, who shall arise out of the earth.

[27] Rev.7:3 saying, "Don't harm the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, until we have sealed the bondservants of our God on their foreheads!"

[28] 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!"

[29] Rev.13:1 Then I stood on the sand of the sea. I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads. On his horns were ten crowns, and on his heads, blasphemous names.

[30] Rev.12:11 They overcame him because of the Lamb's blood, and because of the word of their testimony. They didn't love their life, even to death. Therefore rejoice, heavens, and you who dwell in them. Woe to the earth and to the sea, because the devil has gone down to you, having great wrath, knowing that he has but a short time."

  Rev.9:1 The fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star from the sky fallen to the earth. The key to the pit of the abyss was given to him.

[31] Lev.16:12 He shall take a censer full of coals of fire from off the altar before Yahweh, and two handfuls of sweet incense beaten small, and bring it within the veil: and he shall put the incense on the fire before Yahweh, that the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy seat that is on the testimony, so that he will not die.

[32] 1Cor.15:54 But when this corruptible will have put on incorruption, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then what is written will happen: "Death is swallowed up in victory." "Death, where is your sting? Hades, where is your victory?" The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.

[33] Job1:8 Yahweh said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant, Job? For there is none like him in the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil." Then Satan answered Yahweh, and said, "Does Job fear God for nothing? Haven't you made a hedge around him, and around his house, and around all that he has, on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land. But put forth your hand now, and touch all that he has, and he will renounce you to your face."

[34] Lev.24:11 and the son of the Israelite woman blasphemed the Name, and cursed; and they brought him to Moses. His mother's name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan. They put him in custody, that it might be declared to them at the mouth of Yahweh. Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, Bring forth him who has cursed outside of the camp; and let all who heard him lay their hands on his head, and let all the congregation stone him.

[35] 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 --

[36] 1Tim.1:9 as knowing this, that law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, for the sexually immoral, for homosexuals, for slave-traders, for liars, for perjurers, and for any other thing contrary to the sound doctrine;

[37] Rev.11:15 The seventh angel sounded, and great voices in heaven followed, saying, "The kingdom of the world has become the Kingdom of our Lord, and of his Christ. He will reign forever and ever!" The twenty-four elders, who sit before God's throne on their thrones, fell on their faces and worshiped God, saying: "We give you thanks, Lord God, the Almighty, the one who is and who was; because you have taken your great power, and reigned. The nations were angry, and your wrath came, as did the time for the dead to be judged, and to give your servants the prophets, their reward, as well as the saints, and those who fear your name, the small and the great; and to destroy those who destroy the earth."

[38] Lev.16:13 and he shall put the incense on the fire before Yahweh, that the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy seat that is on the testimony, so that he will not die. He shall take some of the blood of the bull, and sprinkle it with his finger on the mercy seat on the east; and before the mercy seat he shall sprinkle some of the blood with his finger seven times. "Then he shall kill the goat of the sin offering, that is for the people, and bring his blood within the veil, and do with his blood as he did with the blood of the bull, and sprinkle it on the mercy seat, and before the mercy seat: and he shall make atonement for the Holy Place, because of the uncleanness of the children of Israel, and because of their transgressions, even all their sins; and so he shall do for the Tent of Meeting, that dwells with them in the midst of their uncleanness. There shall be no one in the Tent of Meeting when he enters to make atonement in the Holy Place, until he comes out, and has made atonement for himself and for his household, and for all the assembly of Israel.

[39] Col.1:20 and through him to reconcile all things to himself, having made peace through the blood of his cross. Through him, I say, whether things on the earth, or things in the heavens.

[40] 1John4:10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son as the atoning sacrifice for our sins. Beloved, if God loved us in this way, we also ought to love one another.

[41] John14:15 If you love me, keep my commandments.

[42] John15:13 Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends, if you do whatever I command you.

[43] Ex.23:15 You shall observe the feast of unleavened bread. Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, at the time appointed in the month Abib (for in it you came out from Egypt), and no one shall appear before me empty. And the feast of harvest, the first fruits of your labors, which you sow in the field: and the feast of harvest, at the end of the year, when you gather in your labors out of the field.

[44] Rev.14:3 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. These are those who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are those who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These were redeemed by Jesus from among men, the first fruits to God and to the Lamb.

[45] Rev.7:9 After these things I saw, and behold, a great multitude, which no man could number, out of every nation and of all tribes, peoples, and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands. They cried with a loud voice, saying, "Salvation be to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!"

[46] Rev.6:9 When he opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been killed for the Word of God, and for the testimony of the Lamb which they had. They cried with a loud voice, saying, "How long, Master, the holy and true, do you not judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?" A long white robe was given them. They were told that they should rest yet for a while, until their fellow servants and their brothers, who would also be killed even as they were, completed their course.

[48] 1Cor.15:20 But now Christ has been raised from the dead. He became the first fruits of those who are asleep.

[49] Rom.8:23 Not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for adoption, the redemption of our body.

[50] Rev.14:3 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. These are those who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are those who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These were redeemed by Jesus from among men, the first fruits to God and to the Lamb.

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

[52] Dan.9:27 He shall make a firm covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week(view2:for half of the week) he shall cause the sacrifice and the offering to cease; and on the wing of abominations [shall come] one who makes desolate; and even to the full end, and that determined, shall [wrath] be poured out on the desolate.

[53] Rev.9:13 The sixth angel sounded. I heard a voice from the horns of the golden altar which is before God, saying to the sixth angel who had one trumpet, "Free the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates!" The four angels were freed who had been prepared for that hour and day and month and year, so that they would kill one third of mankind. The number of the armies of the horsemen was ten thousands of ten thousands. I heard the number of them.

[54] Rev.13:1 Then I stood on the sand of the sea. I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads. On his horns were ten crowns, and on his heads, blasphemous names.

[55] Ezek.3:1 He said to me, Son of man, eat that which you find; eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel. So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat the scroll. He said to me, Son of man, cause your belly to eat, and fill your bowels with this scroll that I give you. Then did I eat it; and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness. He said to me, Son of man, go, get you to the house of Israel, and speak with my words to them. For you are not sent to a people of a strange speech and of a hard language, but to the house of Israel;

[56] Rev.11:2 Leave out the court which is outside of the temple, and don't measure it, for it has been given to the gentiles. They will tread the holy city under foot for forty-two months. I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.

[57] 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.

[58] Rev.22:10 He said to me, "Don't seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is at hand.

[59] Rev.7:1 After this, I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, so that no wind would blow on the earth, or on the sea, or on any tree.

[60] Dan.7:2 Daniel spoke and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the sky broke forth on the great sea. Four great animals came up from the sea, diverse one from another.

[61] Rev.10:1 I saw a mighty angel coming down out of the sky, clothed with a cloud. A rainbow was on his head. His face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire. He had in his hand a little book open. He set his right foot on the sea, and his left on the land.

[62] Rev.7:1 After this, I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, so that no wind would blow on the earth, or on the sea, or on any tree.

[63] 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."

[64] Rev.7:3 saying, "Don't harm the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, until we have sealed the bondservants of our God on their foreheads!"

[65] Rev.12:12 Therefore rejoice, heavens, and you who dwell in them. Woe to the earth and to the sea, because the devil has gone down to you, having great wrath, knowing that he has but a short time."

[66] Rev.9:1 The fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star from the sky fallen to the earth. The key to the pit of the abyss was given to him.

[67] 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.

[68] Rev.11:2 Leave out the court which is outside of the temple, and don't measure it, for it has been given to the gentiles. They will tread the holy city under foot for forty-two months. I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.

[69] Rev.13:1 Then I stood on the sand of the sea. I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads. On his horns were ten crowns, and on his heads, blasphemous names.

[70] Rev.9:13 The sixth angel sounded. I heard a voice from the horns of the golden altar which is before God, saying to the sixth angel who had one trumpet, "Free the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates!"

  Dan.7:2 Daniel spoke and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the sky broke forth on the great sea. Four great animals came up from the sea, diverse one from another.

[71] 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." Another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a great voice, "If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives a mark on his forehead, or on his hand, he also will drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is prepared unmixed in the cup of his anger. He will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb. The smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever. They have no rest day and night, those who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.

[72] Rev.11:2 Leave out the court which is outside of the temple, and don't measure it, for it has been given to the gentiles. They will tread the holy city under foot for forty-two months.

[73] 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. When they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up out of the abyss will make war with them, and overcome them, and kill them.

[74] Heb.1:3 His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself made purification for our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

  Job34:14 If he set his heart on himself, If he gathered to himself his spirit and his breath; All flesh would perish together, And man would turn again to dust.

  Acts17:24 The God who made the world and all things in it, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, dwells not in temples made with hands, neither is he served by men's hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he himself gives to all life and breath, and all things.

  Col.1:16 For by him were all things created, in the heavens and on the earth, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things have been created through him, and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things are held together.

[75] Matt.26:53 Or do you think that I can't ask my Father, and he would even now send me more than twelve legions of angels? How then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that it must be so?"

[76] Matt.13:41 The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all things that cause stumbling, and those who do iniquity, and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be weeping and the gnashing of teeth.

[77] Is.10:15 Shall the ax boast itself against him who hews therewith? Shall the saw magnify itself against him who wields it? as if a rod should wield those who lift it up, [or] as if a staff should lift up [him who is] not wood.

[78] Rev.9:14 saying to the sixth angel who had one trumpet, "Free the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates!" The four angels were freed who had been prepared for that hour and day and month and year, so that they would kill one third of mankind.

[79] Matt.24:21 for then will be great oppression, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever will be.https://youtu.be/AupisuARmgQ?feature=shared
