Special Studies - Revelation Chapter 7

The Sealing Of Zerubbabel And The Finishing Of The End Time Temple Of The LORD

Revelation 7:1  And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.
Revelation 7:2  And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
Revelation 7:3  Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.

[
Note
Whenever the four winds are mentioned, it is regarding bringing about the end of the age. Here, the end of the age is held up until the 144,000 of each of the listed tribes of Israel are Sealed with GOD’S TRUTH. I believe that these four winds are THE HOLY SPIRIT working through GOD’S seven thousand on the earth.
]

Revelation 7:4  And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.

[
Note:
These 144,000 are Israelites and are known as Zerubbabel. They are born in confusion but come out of confusion when they hear GOD’S seven thousand give their testimonies. When they come out of confusion (Babylon), they finish building The End Time Temple Of The LORD using the stone with seven eyes (GOD’S seven thousand) as the plummet stone to keep the line on TRUTH straight. The end time Temple is made of people, not a physical building.
]

Revelation 7:5  Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand.
Revelation 7:6  Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nepthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand.
Revelation 7:7  Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand.
Revelation 7:8  Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.

[
Note:
This sealing is to put the TRUTH of GOD’S WORD into their foreheads so that they can teach. Dan and Ephraim are not listed because of idolatry. Levi and Joseph were put in their place. But in the Millennium chapters of Ezekiel (chapter 48 in particular), Dan and Ephraim are reinstated.
]

Revelation 7:9  After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;

[
Note:
This multitude is clothed in white robes. When we leave this flesh life, the only thing we can take with us is our righteous acts. These righteous acts are what make up that fine linen that our white robes are made of.

Revelation 19:6  And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.
Revelation 19:7  Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
Revelation 19:8  And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
]

Revelation 7:10  And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.
Revelation 7:11  And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,
Revelation 7:12  Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.

[
Notes:
Remember the seven Spirits of GOD:

Revelation 5:11  And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;
Revelation 5:12  Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.

These seven SPIRITS are what make up GOD’S SPIRIT,  THE HOLY SPIRIT.
When we are with GOD in the resurrection, we are eternally alive with HIS SPIRIT.

Notice in verse Revelation 7:12 that riches is replaced by “thanksgiving”. The reason for this is because at this time, we have received the riches. Therefore, we give thanks.
]


Revelation 7:13  And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?
Revelation 7:14  And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
Revelation 7:15  Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.
Revelation 7:16  They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.
Revelation 7:17  For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

[
Note:
Notice that these washed their robes in the Blood of the LAMB. It’s not the other way around. While Grace is of extreme importance, and it is by Grace that we are saved through faith, it is our righteous acts that make up our robes that we wear in Heaven. These that wear the white robes put their faith to work, for the righteousness of saints are the righteous acts that their robes are made of. Faith without works is dead, and dead faith can leave one to have no robes to wash. I believe that this multitude is the end time Temple of the LORD. I also believe that it includes all of those people from the time that JESUS paid the price for our sins and redeemed us to HIM on The CROSS, including those spirits in prison that accepted JESUS all the way back to the time of Adam when JESUS preached to these spirits when HE was in the Tomb.

Zechariah 13:7  Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that is my fellow, saith the LORD of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones.
Zechariah 13:8  And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the LORD, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein.
Zechariah 13:9  And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The LORD is my God.

1 Peter 3:18  For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
1 Peter 3:19  By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;
1 Peter 3:20  Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.
1 Peter 3:21  The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:
1 Peter 3:22  Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.

This concludes chapter seven of the book of Revelation. In chapter eight, we will study the seventh seal and begin our study of the seven trumpets.
