PART 2
In Chapter 5-9 we see Jesus the lamb with a book and 7 Seals that are broken... Then we see 4
horsemen, the beginning of the tribulation, 144,000 Israelites saved through the Magog “invasion”, the first 6 trumpets (tribulation), and the first two woes. We also learn about the Keys of Hell here.

CHAPTER 5 – Jesus' (the slain Lamb with 7 eyes and 7 horns) book with 7 Seals.
God holds a book on the throne in His right hand, which is sealed with 7 seals. Ezekiel 2:9-3:5 & Daniel 12:4. The 7 seals, 7 trumpets and 7 scales (bowls) are like links on a chain. This is the judgment of God in the end as we will learn here early on. Note the punishment is only intended for the wicked, because we the Church and Holy spirit have already been snatched away and on Jesus' head here (horns and eyes). See end of lesson for more!
A strong Angel asks loudly: “Who can break the seals and open the book?” No one answered, so John began to weep. One of the elders stops John and says that the Lion from Judah (Hosea 5:14 & Matthew 2:1 & Luke 18:38 & John 16:33, Genesis 49:9-10, Hebrews 7:14 & Isaiah 11:10-11), the root of David, has overcome and can open the book.
At the throne, John saw the 7 Spirits of God sent over the earth, in the form of a Lamb with 7 horns and 7
eyes (the Holy Spirit who is Jesus Christ - John 1:1 & 14 & Isaiah 11: 2), which appeared to have been slaughtered. The horns and eyes are also the 7 Torches of Fire: Revelation 4:5 → The Holy Spirit. So, to summarize: Jesus is the Lamb, and the Lamb's eyes and horns are the Holy Spirit. Jesus is the Lamb, and we are one body with the Lamb, in Christ - Romans 12:5. The Lamb took the book from God (Psalm 146:10 & Matthew 28:18 & John 5:22), and then all the creatures and elders fell down before the Lamb with their instruments and incense (saints' prayers - all who pray with a sincere heart smell good to God).
Then they sang “You are worthy, because You were slaughtered and bought us for God with Your blood.”
After this, a host of angels came around the throne and shouted: “You are worthy to receive everything.” -
God also gives us, His church, everything - Luke 12:32 & Romans 8:32 & 2 Timothy 2:12.
Then every living thing in heaven and earth praised God and His Son, while the 4 creatures shouted Amen!

CHAPTER 7 – The Israelites are saved.
(IMPORTANT: Ezekiel 37:1-14 – VERSE 9! ) 4 Angels keep the 4 winds still. Another angel comes up with the sun, with God's Seal. He shouted to another four angels: Wait before you damage the earth, sea, and trees, until I seal the 144,000 servants of God from the tribes of Israel's heads with God's Seal.
12,000 From each of the following tribes: Judah, Reuben, Gad, Asher, Naphtali, Manasseh, Simeon, Levi, Issachar, Zebulun, Joseph, and Benjamin. 12 Tribes x 12,000 sealed each = 144,000 total sealed.
When Joshua took the Israelites into the promised land of Canaan across the Jordan River (Joshua 13:33), after they had been led out of Egypt, the sons of Levi each had to find a city for themselves but may not have owned it. not, because only God alone has been their “inheritance” (Joshua 13:33). Levi had the responsibilities to feed the other tribes with the law of God, and to keep the others in order.
Why did these 144,000 Israelites have to receive the Seal first? They, just like us, must first receive the MARK OF GOD - 777 - by John 3:5. These 144,000 sealed will represent us Christians in heaven, and we will praise the Lord with them in heaven.
What happens here is: The rapture happens in Revelation 4, thanks to the 4 Horses with the first 4 Seals, and then the giant 7-Year tribulation of the 6th and 7th Seal (and the trumpets and bowls). The closest we can get to who these 144,000 are: They are Jews (Israelites) who remain behind after the rapture (protected by the Seal of God so that no harm will come upon them in the tribulation), and who the regeneration will be preached to all who were left behind in the tribulation, which will cause a “great crowd” of saved oppressed people to appear in heaven - Revelation 7:9.
How do we know the 144,000 are coming to save the left behind? Zechariah 12:10 & Romans 11:25-27.
Who are the first 4 angels, the ones holding the winds? During the 6th Seal, in Revelation 6, the heavens open and are rolled up. They're here! They help bring the tribulation!

CONTINUED IN REVELATION CHAPTER 7 – The Israelites are saved.
After the portion where the angels were stopped from damaging the earth, until the 144,000 received their Seals on their foreheads, a great innumerable multitude appears before the throne of the Lamb, with white robes and palm branches (Mark 11:1-11) in their hands. They praised God and Jesus.
As we learned earlier, this multitude may very well be the saved after the rapture, for whom the 144,000
sealed Jews preached. Daniel 9:24-27 & Revelation 6:17. These 144,000 are the first fruits of the Church after the rapture - Revelation 14:4.
Then all the angels and elders and living creatures fell down and worshiped God and shouted Amen!
Then one of the elders said to John, that the crowd with the white clothes are the ones coming out of the great tribulation, their clothes were washed WHITE with Lamb's blood. Revelation 3:5. Therefore they serve God.
Jesus will wipe away their tears, give them rest, and feed them and lead them to springs of water. – Psalm 23. Just like with the Israelites from Egypt, God is going to save His church again, forever, and bring us into a rich land of eternal rest, away from the tribulation that is coming.
The Jehovah Witnesses bring us great deception here! They believe that 144,000 is the LIMIT! The total number of saved people who will be in heaven. This is what they call “Heavenly Hope”. According to them, those who remain will have “Earthly Hope”, where Jesus and these 144,000 will forever rule the earth.
There will definitely be people who will rule with Jesus during the 1000-year Millennium of peace (Revelation 20:4), BUT it will only be for the 1000 years, and not for all eternity as the Jehovah Witnesses preach. After the 1000 Years God alone will rule - Romans 8:17 & Revelation 21:3.
Together with the 144,000 we will receive a Seal of eternal life! Ephesians 1:13-14 & 2 Corinthians 1:22.
Who are the angels who must damage everything? According to the Bible, they are the first 4 angels with their trumpets, in Revelation 8, during the opening of the 7th Seal, which we will learn next! It is clear here, that just AFTER the rapture, and just BEFORE the tribulation, everything was stopped, so that the 144,000 Israelites (part of God's church) WHO REMAINED BEHIND with a purpose, could receive the Seal of God for protection during they preach.
Why are the multitudes of the saved wearing white robes, each holding palm branches? Revelation 5:9 & 3:4, Amos 9:9, LEVITICUS 23:40!!! – READ THEM ALL!!!
REMEMBER: The Lord never started the Magog invasion to wipe out Israel. No, the Bible says as we learned earlier in the opening of the 2nd Seal (The red horse and its rider) that the Magog Invasion was sent into Israel by God, so that the Gentiles know Him, let the sinners know Him - Ezekiel 38. After the Magog invasion, God wants to save the born again “repented” Israelites, and here is where it happens, in
Revelation Chapter 7.

covenant is over (Exodus 17:9-10), and that the new SPIRITUAL covenant began at that time (Romans 2:25-29, Philippians 3:3, Colossians 3:11-13, & John 3:5).
- Why is Jesus the root of David? 2 Samuel 7:14-16 - Jesus is the Promised Messiah in the time of David, and therefore comes from David. Matthew 1 describes the record of Jesus from Abraham to Joseph and Mary. Jesus is the Creator before- AND the offspring after- David, at the same time -
Mark 12:35 & Revelation 22:16.
- Very important: The rapture is NOT the same as the return of Jesus on the clouds. The rapture removes the church from the earth before the tribulation comes, and the return of Jesus is when we all descend together in the clouds to the earth and prepare for the 1000-year kingdom of peace.
- The “Pre-Tribulation” rapture is repeated many times in the Bible! The same story that Revelation 6
tells is repeated in Matthew 24, Mark 13, Luke 17, and Luke 21.
- John also ate a book, in Revelation 10:9-10.
- The Lord teaches us that anyone who harms Israel, He will repay the harm Himself, because they are the apple of His eye. Zechariah 12:3. Egypt drowned the Israelite baby boys, then God drowned their army in the sea.
- China's flag is red and yellow. Their army wears blue clothes. Is Revelation 9 Speaking of China?
Why does God help them come into Israel for the final judgment? Will this evil power be used to protect Israel, without the devil's knowledge?
- The Key of Hades and death is mentioned 4 times in revelation - Revelation 1:18, 3:7, 9:1, & 20:1.
These keys are important! First Jesus has the Keys (which He naturally went to collect in Hades after His death on the cross - 1 Peter 3:19), then He has the key again in the second verse, then the Key is given to Satan, and then Jesus (His angel) has the key again. Why is this important?
Well, because it's important to get the stars in Revelation mixed up. In Revelation 9:1, the key is given to Satan, the Morningstar who fell long ago in Ezekiel 28:12-16 and Luke 10:18, to unlock hell and bring his evil to earth. Then Jesus takes back the key, because it belongs to Him. He conquered death! Satan was defeated in the 4th verse of the key, and that means a holy angel cast Lucifer into hell, locking him up there.
