Revelation 7, Sealed 12 Tribes & Great Multitude Dressed in White

[Revelation 7]

 

 

The Background of the Sealed 12 Tribes

& 

The Great Multitude Dressed in White

 

 

In chapter 7 of Revelation is about the beginning of recreation where the former heaven, the spiritual Israel that does not repent even after they commit acts of immorality with gentile spirits through Satan's pastor in Revelation 2 and 3, so they receive judgment in chpter 6 and both the heaven and the earth disappear. This creation is the work of  sealing 12,000people in each of the 12 tribes, atotal of 144,000peopel, by hearvesting. Thus, chapter 7 is about the work of sealing after the event in chpater 6.

In Revelation 7:1, the four angels must delay the judgment by holding back the winds, which are elsewhere represented by horses. At that time, another angel comes up from the east - from where the sun rises - and says, "Do not damage the earth or the sea or the trees until we have put a seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God."

In this passage, the angel with the seal of the living God comes up from the east. Since the east is where the sun rises, it represents the location of the pastor who is like the light.

Since Ps 84:11 calls God our sun, the place God's work begins can be thought of as the place the sun rises. In the end times for the Christian world, the sun, moon, and stars darken and fall. Day becomes night. At that time, wherever the work of God(the light) begins is referred to as the east.

The east in Revelation 7 is the east from the viewpoint of heaven(Rev 4), and it is where the events of Revelation are fulfilled. Only apostle John, who was called up to the spiritual heaven, knows where the east is since he saw it from heaven.

 At the time of Revelation's fulfillment, there are 144,000 people sealed with God's seal ㅡ12,000 each tribe (Revelation 7:5-8).

God promised that in setting up the new covenant he would write his laws in believers' hearts and minds(Jer 31:33, Heb 8:10).

When the angels finish sealing the foreheads of the 144,000, a great multitude dressed in white robes comes form every nation, tribe, people, and language.

God brings the first heaven and earth to an end by judging Spiritual Israel (Revelation 6).

Q) Why did they judge in Revelation 6?

- Because the chosen people in Revelation 2 and 3 do not repent and believe even though they received the letters that urged repentance, and a judgment comes upon them in chapter 6 of Revelation.

Because of judging his chosen people and bringing them to an end, God creators a new chosen people. He establishes New Spiritual Israel with the 144,000 who are sealed and with the great multitude dressed in white robes. God spreads his tabernacle over New Spiritual Israel and dwells among them forever(Revelation 7:15). At the time of Revelation's fulfillment, anyone who does not being to the twelve tribes of News Spiritual Israel, which are God's only chosen people, is a gentile who cannot be saved. Look in Revelation of the Bible, and find out!

There is, however, a significant difference between the 144,000 and those who belong to the great multitude in white. In Revelation 7:9, the worlds "after these things" provide a way to distinguish the different status of the 144,000 become the pastors (i.e., priests and kings) of News Spiritual Israel. The great multitude in white become its congregation members(i.e., its people). The order in which they are chosen by God is also different; the 144,000 are chosen first and the great multitude in white are chosen later.

The event of sealing described in Revelation 7 is being fulfilled today in Shincheonji, which is located in Gwacheon, South Korea.

Revelation 6, Jesus Opens Six Seals

Jesus Opens Six Seals

in Revelation 6 

 

 

After the Lamb takes the scroll sealed with seven seals in Revelation 5

At last, Jesus Opens Six Seals in Revelation 6

 

 

The scroll sealed with seven seals in God's right hand. As written in Revelation 5:7, Jesus received the scroll and Jesus opened the six seals one by one in Revelation 6 and carried out judgment. The people who received judgment were just the chosen people(the sun, moon and stars) who did not repent in Revelation 2,3.
As the seals opened, the physical entities of the recorded prophecies appeared.

 



In Revelation 6, Jesus opens, one by one, the seven seals of the scroll he took according to Revelation 5 from God's right hand.

Revelation 6 describes the events that occur as Jesus opens six of the seven seals.

Every time he opens one of the seals, one of the four living creatures in front of God's throne appears and calls out a horse and its rider.

The riders carry, in order of the earth. The horses and their riders use these to kill the chosen people (i.e., the figurative sun, moon, and stars) who have betrayed.

Thus, the chosen people are cast out of heaven and destroyed. Revelation chapter 6 details the judgment Jesus passes upon the tabernacle of the seven golden lampstands, which, according to Revelation 2-3, has betrayed.

They are judged because, despite receiving letters calling for their repentance, they unite with the Nicolaitans, eat food sacrificed to idols, and commit sexual immorality.

Every time the Lamb breaks a seal, one of the four living creatures calls a horse and its rider. Each time a seal is broken, certain events take place in the physical world in fulfillment of the prophecies of the Bible.

The tabernacle that betrayed and is judged in Revelation 6 becomes a possession of the gentiles, and its people become members of gentile churches.

This is figuratively described as the sun, moon, and stars going dark and falling, the sky splitting apart, every island and mountain being moved form its place, and the people of the earth hiding in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains.(※ People's hiding in the Gentile denomination, away from God's judgment)

※Sun: pastor, Moon: evangelist, Stars: congregation members.(Gn 37:9-11)This event refers to the plague that brings an end to Spiritual Israel due to its corruption, though it once belonged to heaven. The shy, earth, sun, moon, and stars all come to heaven, the churches of tradition.

These are the events of the last days of spiritual Israel promised in the New Testament.

It is the end for all the pastors and people of the Christian world, the world of Spiritual Israel, because the tabernacle of the seven gold lampstands represents the last church of the world of Christianity.

The events of Revelation 6(the judgment of the chosen sun, moon, and stars who betrayed) must happen before creating 12 tribes, new generation(new nation and new people) of God.

As the generation of Spiritual Israel comes to an ends in Revelation 6, New Spiritual Israel, a new generation an a new kingdom of heaven, is created according to the promises in Revelation 7.

Revelation 5, Book Sealed with Seven Seals

The book sealed with seven seals

[Revelation 5]

John who is taken up to the spiritual world, and sees a book sealed with seven seals in the right hand of God who is sitting on his throne(Isa 29:9-14, Rev 5:1-4)

And one of the elders tells him that Jesus, the Lamb is able to open the book with the seven seals because he overcome. According to the statement of elder Jesus, the Lamb with seven eyes(spirits) and seven horns, takes the book form the hand of God with the intention of opening its seven seals (Rev 5:7)

 

• When the sealed book in God's hand is opened, what kind of changes will there be in the Christian world? When God's book is opened, what will happen?

Jesus is able to open the sealed book because he overcame the world, and in doing so he overcame Santa (Jn 16:33, Rev 5:5).  If Jesus had not overcome Satan, then he would not be able to open the sealed book and fulfill its contents. However, When God's book is opened and physical fulfillment of the prophecies appears, people can understand the prophecies, see and believe their physical fulfillment.

 ※ When perfection comes, the imperfect disappears(1Co 13:10). Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known (1Co 13:12). 'When perfection comes,' is the time, 'then we shall see face to face'.  The face of prophecies, face of physical fulfillment, it is the time of physical fulfillment when the prophecy is revealed through actual entities. The time, when the prophecies in the Bible are being fulfilled. The time is when the prophecies in the Bible  have become flesh and have appeared as physical fulfillment.



▶ A scroll sealed with seven seals in the right hand of God is the book of Revelation. The words of scroll with writing on both sides are contents of being recorded in Revelation.

When Jesus breaks the seals, the physical fulfillment of the prophecies appears. This means the Revelation of Jesus(Rev 1:1) is accomplished.

Apostle, John received and wrote contents of prophecies in Revelation, to visions, but New John(figurative representation) has fulfilled the prophecies at the time of fulfillment of Revelation.
