The Holy Spirit is impressing upon me to stress Revelation 10:1-6 once again. In connection with the Church, the Lord is shown as the Lamb, taking the book and opening the seals. When He comes with the open book and sets His feet upon land and sea, He reveals Himself to the Jews, not as the Lamb, but as the Lion crying with a loud voice – the Lion of the Tribe of Judah.

Let us go back to the old testament prophets once again, “They shall walk after the Lord: He shall roar, like a lion: when he shall roar, then the children (of Israel) shall tremble.” (Hos. 11:10) “The Lord also shall roar out of Zion, and utter His voice from Jerusalem: and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the Lord will be the hope of His people, and the strength of the children of Israel.” (Joel 3:16) “… the Lord will roar from Zion, and utter His voice from Jerusalem…” (Amos 1:2)

“Therefore prophesy thou against them all these words, and say unto them, The LORD shall roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation; he shall mightily roar upon his habitation; he shall give a shout, as they that tread the grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth. A noise shall come even to the ends of the earth; for the LORD hath a controversy with the nations, he will plead with all flesh; he will give them that are wicked to the sword, saith the LORD.” (Jer 25:30-31)

Scripture upon Scripture could be added to satisfactorily answer Revelation 10:1-6. The enemy usually takes one Scripture and twists it, but anyone led of God’s Spirit will take as many Scriptures as possible dealing with the same subject. Then there is no need to guess, for it is the “Thus Saith the Lord!” of His Word. It seems He has permitted some statements to be misused by those who are unstable in the Word for their own destruction. Nothing happens without a purpose.

In conclusion, let us review some points. The events of Revelation 19 and 20 can be looked upon in chronological order and will take place as set forth there. Firstly, the Bride will be raptured and the marriage supper will take place. At the same time, the 144,000 are sealed on earth. Thereafter, the Lord returns from the wedding supper and fights the armies, which have gathered against Jerusalem. Then Satan is bound and those Jews slain will live again and be in the kingdom, the one-thousand-year-reign.

Dear Friends! May I suggest you scrutinize every statement I made and thoroughly compare this brochure with the quotations. Please check quote against quote! Compare the one made in regards to Revelation 20:4 with the quote in reference to the time after the rapture.

“And during that time, those two prophets will rise on the scene and all the 144,000. Then what will take place? then the mark of the beast of Revelation 13 will set in… And what will take place then? the mark of the beast will come in, that no man can buy or sell except him, that has the mark of the beast. Thank God, the Church will be enjoying the great 3½ years in Glory. We won’t have to go through that.”

May I ask you: How can the Bride be beheaded for not taking the mark of the beast, if that mark will set in after the rapture has taken place? Please read the following statement for further enlightment!:

“But in Revelation 12:7-9, Satan the spirit, the devil, which is up there, now, accuser of our brethren, all right; all right; the Church is taken up and Satan is cast out. When the Church goes up, Satan comes down. The Satan incarnates himself in the anti-Christ and is called the Beast. Then in Revelation 13, he sets the Mark down.” (1963-03-18)

Dear brother, dear sister, can you see why we must give all diligence to search the Scripture? I’ve got no thought or doctrine to defend, I’m only responsible to defend God’s Word. What I have said here, I would have said in the presence of all the apostles and prophets. Don’t altogether rely on quotes because they can so easily be taken out of context. Where you may find one, someone else may find two to contradict yours.

Let us love one another with the fervent love of God. I sincerely ask for forgiveness if I have hurt anyone. You have a perfect right to see things the way you do.

May this exposition have granted you a deeper understanding of the Word of God, not an intellectual conception, but may it have brought about a deep appreciation for what He has done.
