We are continuing the teaching on the seals. It is important to remember that the seals are not in chronological order but in a teaching order, to show what must happen first. We see in the first seal a person riding on a white horse with a crown, don’t be fooled that is Satan as the antichrist; we must know so we don’t worship the wrong person.
Ch. 6:9-17
5th seal
6:9 these were those that were slain for the words sake. They were not lying in a hole in the ground but in heaven with our Father, remember to be absent from this body is to be present with God (compare: 2 Cor 5:8).
6:10 they are asking how long the Lord is going to wait before He takes His vengeance upon them.
6:11 white robes: we will see that our white robes are made up of our righteous acts. They are told to wait a while until the time comes. Some people will have to give the ultimate sacrifice, as many have already done in other countries for the words sake.
Mark 13:9-23 (we will continue to cross reference Mark and Revelations concerning the seals)
13:9 we will be brought into the synagogue of Satan for a testimony against them. This is where the Holy Spirit will speak through you. Fear not for we shall not be harmed (compare: Luke 21:18).
13:10 this is the purpose of all this happening. Many people claim to have brought the word around the world but not like this!
13:11 that hour: the hour of temptation. This is how the truth will be spread around the world. The same tongue that was spoken on Pentecost, when all heard in their own dialect and needed not an interpreter (compare: Joel
2, Acts 2). If you are delivered up before Satan, allow the Holy Spirit to speak!
13:12 death: this is another name of Satan. A parent would never deliver their children to die (on a mass scale/worldwide, as this speaks of) or children their parents. They will be doing this because they will think the antichrist is Jesus. Don’t be deceived! (Remember Luke 10:19).
13:13 the truth upsets many.
13:14 (compare: Dan 9:27, 12:11). It: (he) this is speaking of Satan. This is Satan (the desolator) standing where he ought not (the temple/holy place) claiming to be Christ (compare: 2 Thess 2:3-4).
13:15-16 we won’t need anything, for the end is near. House top: we are to be watchmen.
13:17 (compare: 2 Cor 11:2). This is speaking of the virgin bride of Christ. This is speaking spiritually. Christ comes for a virgin bride, and if you are helping Satan then you are no longer a virgin but with child (impregnated with his lies/deception) nursing along his agenda. God breaks it down for all to understand; if your husband was gone for 2,000 years and comes back to find you suckling a child, what does it mean? It means you have been unfaithful!
13:18 harvest time is not winter, don’t be taken out of season!
13:19 Satan will be here claiming to be the true Christ. Many will be deceived and led astray after the false one. They will be furthering his will and work.
13:20 elect: those who stood with God during the first earth age against the rebellion of Satan. The time was shortened from 7 years to 5 months (compare: Rev 9:5).
13:21-22 don’t follow because this is the antichrist. Many will be shouting it loud and proud claiming Christ has returned but it is the fake. Remember in the first seal Satan comes in on a white horse with a crown, don’t be fooled! They shall come, and bring supernatural powers with them.
13:23 He has told us, are you listening?
Continue in Revelation Ch. 6
6th seal
6:12 remember the first seal; Satan comes in on a white horse. This is his appearing/signs in heaven.
6:13 (compare: Rev 9:1, Dan 8:10). The mighty wind: this is speaking of God.
Mark 13:24-31
13:24-25 (compare: Isa 13:10). Satan will be cast out (kicked out by Michael) to deceive all whom will believe. Know the word of God and stay a virgin bride for Christ.
13:26 this is the 7th seal, when Christ comes to reign.
13:27 we will get to the 4 winds later in Revelation (the 4 winds are always a destructive force to the enemy, from nature). This is the true Christ coming, wait for Him.
13:28 summer: this is harvest time. Remember not to be harvested out of season (untimely/winter).
13:29 He will be here, be ready. The parable of the fig tree is something all should learn and understand. Christ said learn it!
13:30 the generation of the fig tree shall not pass away till all these things happen.
13:31 the fig shoot was set forth in 1948 when Israel became a nation again. From 1948 till the Lord returns, all these things will come to fruition.
Continue in Revelation Ch. 6
6:14 a great shaking is happening. There is one Rock that cannot be shaken if you are standing on it, and that Rock is Jesus Christ (compare: Matt 7:24-25).
6:15-17 these will be ashamed and wish to die because when they see the true Christ come they will know they worshipped the false one. Many will have been in church they’re whole life. The ones who do not bow to Satan will be able to stand. Remember Mark 13:6!
