Revelation chapter 7
The four winds (His examination) of the earth (works) withheld till His servants are sealed:
Rev 7:1-3 "After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth, so that no wind would blow on the earth or on the sea or on any tree. And I saw another angel ascending from the rising of the sun, having the seal of the living Elohim; and he cried out with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was granted to harm the earth and the sea, saying, “Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees until we have sealed the bond-servants of our Eloheynu on their foreheads."; Matt. 7:25-27 "And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock. Everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. The rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and it fell and great was its fall."
His examination (winds/corners) of the earth (works of opposition) is from the beginning of the spiritual lives that are sealed with His Word of Life as everyone has his spiritual house built whether it is the knowledge of goodness or evilness. His wind (examination) knows the fruits of men by their works of opposition (faithfulness vs. fear, love vs. hatred, honesty vs. dishonesty). The foundation of lawlessness shall be shaken by His wind as to scatter the fleshly house but the spiritual foundation thru His Rock shall not be shaken by His wind.
No harm for the spiritual bodies vs. His harm for the fleshly bodies:
Deut. 7:15 "YHWH will remove from you all sickness; and He will not put on you any of the harmful diseases of Egypt which you have known, but He will lay them on all who hate you."; 1 Tim. 6:9-11 "But those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful desires which plunge men into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs. But flee from these things, you man of Elohim, and pursue righteousness, holiness, faith, love, perseverance and gentleness."; Rev 7:1-3 "After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth, so that no wind would blow on the earth or on the sea or on any tree. And I saw another angel ascending from the rising of the sun, having the seal of the living Elohim; and he cried out with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was granted to harm the earth and the sea, saying, “Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees until we have sealed the bond-servants of our Eloheynu on their foreheads."
The repentant heart (earth/spiritual body) frees His punishment (harm) because it is sealed (sanctified) to be His servant. The unrepentant heart (earth/fleshly body) is afflicted with His punishment (harm), because it is subjected to the works of lawlessness. Yahushua's fleshly body was bruised/afflicted because of our works of lawlessness are thrown to His death so that we, the members of His resurrected body, can be freed from the kingdom of lawlessness.
The rising sun (His morning star) has the seal of Elohim given to His servants:
Rev 7:2-3 "And I saw another angel ascending from the rising of the sun, having the seal of the living Elohim; and he cried out with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was granted to harm the earth and the sea, saying, “Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees until we have sealed the bond-servants of our Eloheynu on their foreheads."; 2 Peter 1:19 "So we have the prophetic word made more sure, to which you do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star arises in your hearts."
His morning star (Word of flashing light) from the east dominates the Kingdom of Light (day) while the kingdom of darkness (darkened sun) dawns at the west, as to seal the repentant hearts for their spiritual preparation to do His work in the shortened days till the ends of fleshly ages.
The 144,000 sealed servants purchased from the earth of mortality:
Rev. 7:4-8 "And I heard the number of those who were sealed, one hundred and forty-four thousand sealed from every tribe of the sons of Yisrael: From the tribe of Judah, twelve thousand were sealed, from the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand, from the tribe of Gad twelve thousand, from the tribe of Asher twelve thousand, from the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand, from the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand, from the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand, from the tribe of Levi twelve thousand, from the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand, from the tribe of Zebulun twelve thousand, from the tribe of Yoseph twelve thousand, from the tribe of Benjamin, twelve thousand were sealed."
Yahushua is the first of all first fruits (resurrection from dead) as His 12 legions (12,000 angels) would save Him from all the works of death if He had asked for His deliverance. Matt. 26:53-54 "Or do you think that I cannot appeal to My Father, and He will at once put at My disposal more than twelve legions of angels? How then will the Scriptures be fulfilled, which say that it must happen this way?"
What His 12 legions for all 12 tribes of Yisrael (144,000 sealed servants purchased with His blood of purity upon their repentance out of the earth of mortality) do during their shortened days till the ends of their fleshly ages is to protect them from falling into the traps of lawlessness while doing His commandments of Life. Also it is understood that His 144,000 powers is equal to 12 tribes of Yisrael x 12 apostles of the Lamb x His dominion (1000). 1000 means three-dimensional 10x10x10 perfection (YHWH, Son/Word of Life, Spirit of Life). Rev. 21:12-14
Gen. 22:17-18 "indeed I will greatly bless you, and I will greatly multiply your seed as the stars of the heavens and as the sand which is on the seashore; and your seed shall possess the gate of their enemies. In your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice."; Heb. 11:12 "Therefore there was born even of one man, and him as good as dead at that, as many descendants as the stars of heaven in number, and innumerable as the sand which is by the seashore."; Hos. 1:10 "Yet the number of the sons of Yisrael will be like the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured or numbered; and in the place where it is said to them, You are not My people, it will be said to them, You are the sons of the living Elohim." The 144,000 is symbolic, not literal, for all His creatures are innumerable like the sand in the seashore. His Kingdom of Life is immeasurable/innumerable and with no end. A thousand generations mentioned in 1 Chr. 16:15-17 may be assumed as to multiply by 40 years a generation (40,000 years) but we cannot know what He holds in the ages to come. Acts 1:7 "He said to them, It is not for you to know times or epochs which the Father has fixed by His own authority." It is understood that His covenant is with all of us for all successive generations, as His covenant is eternal, according to Gen. 9:11-13 and His eternal gospel, according to Rev. 14:6.
A great multitude which no one could count:
Rev7:9-10 "After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could count, from every nation and all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, and palm branches were in their hands; and they cry out with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our Eloheynu who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb."
A great multitude that could not be counted is like the sand in the seashore. Every generation (fleshly births) comes in this world of mortality and every generation (spiritual births) goes, for all the deeds of opposition out of the knowledge of good and evil must be separated into the kingdoms of opposition at the ends of fleshly ages. Yahushua the Messiah comes to save the lives of men, not to destroy them, with the understanding of the works of opposition that must be separated. Rom. 7:23-27 "And He did so to make known the riches of His glory upon vessels of mercy, which He prepared beforehand for glory, even us, whom He also called, not from among Jews only, but also from among Gentiles. As He says also in Hosea, I will call those who were not My people, My people, and her who was not beloved, beloved. And it shall be that in the place where it was said to them, You are not My people, there shall be called sons of the living Elohim. Yeshayahu (Isaiah) cries out concerning Yisrael, Though the number of the sons of Yisrael be like the sand of the sea, it is the remnant that will be saved." A great multitude comes from all the nations (generations to come and to go), as not one of them is perished.
The spiritual bodies come out of the great tribulation:
Rev7:9-17 "After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could count, from every nation and all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, and palm branches were in their hands; and they cry out with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our Eloheynu who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb. And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures; and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped Elohim, saying, Amen, blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might, be to our Eloheynu forever and ever. Amen. Then one of the elders answered, saying to me, These who are clothed in the white robes, who are they, and where have they come from? I said to him, My Master, you know. And he said to me, These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. For this reason, they are before the throne of Elohim; and they serve Him day and night in His temple; and He who sits on the throne will spread His tabernacle over them. They will hunger no longer, nor thirst anymore; nor will the sun beat down on them, nor any heat; for the Lamb in the center of the throne will be their shepherd, and will guide them to springs of the water of life; and Elohim will wipe every tear from their eyes."
The spiritual bodies have completed their spiritual trials in obedience of His commandments of Life at the ends of fleshly ages as they have overcome the world of lawlessness like Yahushua the Messiah has overcome it at His crucifixion (death).
Who are they, and where have they come from?:
Rev. 7:13-17 "Then one of the elders answered, saying to me, These who are clothed in the white robes, who are they, and where have they come from? I said to him, My Master, you know. And he said to me, These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. For this reason, they are before the throne of Elohim; and they serve Him day and night in His temple; and He who sits on the throne will spread His tabernacle over them. They will hunger no longer, nor thirst anymore; nor will the sun beat down on them, nor any heat; for the Lamb in the center of the throne will be their shepherd, and will guide them to springs of the water of life; and Elohim will wipe every tear from their eyes."
All must come thru the tribulations and distress in their spiritual trials in obedience to His Law of Life upon their repentance out of the kingdom of lawlessness till the ends of their fleshly ages. They have the knowledge of good and evil in creating the deeds of opposition that must be separated at the ends of fleshly ages. Every tear wiped is known for every accountable wrongdoing deed to be forgettable (purged out) for they are guided to springs of the water of life eternally.
A great tribulation (affliction/persecution):
Matt. 24:8-9 "But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs. Then they will deliver you to tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name."; 21 "For then there will be a great tribulation, such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will."; Acts 14:22 "strengthening the souls of the disciples, encouraging them to continue in the faith, and saying, “Through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of Elohim."; Rom. 2:9-10 "There will be tribulation and distress for every soul of man who does evil (fleshly minded), of the Jew first and also of the Greek, but glory and honor and peace to everyone who does good (spiritual minded), to the Jew first and also to the Greek."; 5:2-5 "And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope; and hope does not disappoint, because the love of Elohim has been poured out within our hearts through Ruach haKodesh who was given to us."; Rev. 7:14 "I said to him, My Master, you know. And he said to me, These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb."
It is understood that the fleshly minded does not see what the Spirit filled sees (Matt. 13:10-17 "To you (spritual minded) it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them (fleshly minded) it has not been granted...."), for the fleshly minded only sees what is outward (kingdom of mortality) and the Spirit filled sees what is inward (Kingdom of Immortality). The great tribulation is to afflict (overcome) the works of the world of mortality (lawlessness) while being tested of your obedience to His Law of Life in your spiritual life till the end of your fleshly age. The spiritual birth is the sign of all the outward things of lawlessness afflicted at you in your spiritual tribulations once it is sanctified to separate you from the kingdom of lawlessness. Spiritual tribulations are the works of your afflictions/persecutions to overcome the kingdom (world) of lawlessness during those days from the beginning of your spiritual life till the end of your fleshly age.
Remember YHWH only looks at the heart (kingdom of inwardness/immortality), not the appearance (kingdom of outwardness/mortality) with the understanding of Yahushua's parables taught wholly as to compare with the earthly things with heavenly things by the opposing works and parallel things of visibility and invisibility. Shaul (Paul) in Romans 7 verses 22-24 mentions of the battle of good and evil inwardly, not outwardly. Acts 1:25 "And they prayed and said, “You, YHWH, who know the hearts of all men, show which one of these two (bodies of opposition) You have chosen."
The living water and bread and light for the spiritual bodies:
Rev. 7:15-17 “For this reason, they are before the throne of Elohim; and they serve Him day and night in His temple; and He who sits on the throne will spread His tabernacle over them. They will hunger no longer, nor thirst anymore; nor will the sun beat down on them, nor any heat; for the Lamb in the center of the throne will be their shepherd, and will guide them to springs of the water of life; and Elohim will wipe every tear from their eyes."
His living water (Word of satisfaction) is never thirst, the living bread (Word of Life) is never hunger, and Our living light is Yahushua the Lamb to shine in our spiritual bodies.
Elohim will wipe every tear from their eyes:
Rev. 7:15-17 “For this reason, they are before the throne of Elohim; and they serve Him day and night in His temple; and He who sits on the throne will spread His tabernacle over them. They will hunger no longer, nor thirst anymore; nor will the sun beat down on them, nor any heat; for the Lamb in the center of the throne will be their shepherd, and will guide them to springs of the water of life; and Elohim will wipe every tear from their eyes."
Everyone comes out of his fleshly age acknowledging his deeds of opposition, for his deeds of goodness/obedience to His Law of Life are to rejoice and his deeds of evilness/lawlessness are to grieve resulting his tears as his spiritual valuation is measured in His Kingdom of Life.
