Chapter 466

Next, John saw the hand of God on the throne holding a book full of writing, sealed with seven seals, and a mighty angel declared that no one could open and read the book because no one was worthy to do so.At this time, I saw three lambs that seemed to have been slaughtered standing on the throne, among the four living beings and the 24 elders. The scroll, only he can break the seven seals, unfold and read the scroll.

Immediately, the four living creatures and the 24 elders each held a harp and a golden censer full of incense, and fell down before the Lamb. The incense in the censer was the prayer of all the saints.John heard the four living creatures, 24 elders, and many surrounding angels and all created things in heaven and earth say the same thing: The Lamb who was slain is the one who is worthy to take the scroll, break the seven seals, and gain authority, wealth, and wisdom. , Power, Honor, Glory, Blessing; to my God God and the Lamb on the throne forever.

The Lamb opened the first of the seven seals, and as one of the four living creatures said, "Come!" a victor with a bow and arrows and a crown on his head appeared riding a white horse; the Lamb opened the first seal. The second seal, followed by another "Come!" A man on a red horse appeared, and was given power and a sword, indicating that he could take peace from the earth and make people kill each other; at this time, the third seal When it was opened, a man with a scale in his hand appeared before John on a black horse, and he heard a voice from among the four living creatures saying, "One liter of wheat for a denarius, three liters of barley for a denarius; oil and wine are not spoil."

The fourth seal was opened, and the fourth creature said again, "Come!" A rider on a gray horse appeared. The power of God is to destroy a quarter of the earth's people by the sword, famine, pestilence, and wild beasts.

When the fifth seal was opened, some souls shouted loudly under the sacrifice:--they were killed because they upheld God's way and testified for God--"Holy and true God, you do not judge those who live on earth , to avenge our blood, how long will it take?" Then each of them was given a white robe, and was told to rest for a while, and then they would be satisfied.

As soon as the sixth seal was opened, the sky and the earth trembled, the sun and the moon became dark, and the stars filled the sky like a gust of wind blowing off the immature fruits from the trees and falling all over the ground.The sky has shifted, and the mountains and islands are also drifting... This is the wrath of the Lamb!The kings, ministers, generals, strong men, wealthy households, and all slaves of the earth hid in caves and caves to avoid the face of God on the throne and the wrath of the Lamb.

Then, the four angels in charge of the wind on the ground stood at the four corners of the ground and stopped the wind, and another angel came up from the place where the sun rose, holding the seal of the living God, and sealing the foreheads of all the servants of God.Of the tribes of the Israelites, 14 were sealed: the tribes of Judah, the tribes of Reuben, the tribes of Gad, the tribes of Amon, the tribes of Naphtali, the tribes of Manasseh, the tribes of Simeon, the tribes of Levi, the tribes of Emil The tribes of Sachchar, Zebulun, Joseph, and Benjamin each received twelve thousand seals.

Afterwards, many people from different countries and nations came from all over the world, all dressed in white, holding palm branches, standing in front of the throne and the Lamb, worshiping and praising God and the Lamb on the throne, and all the angels also faced Prostrate yourself and worship God and the Lamb.

One of the elders came over and asked John who these people in white clothes were and where they came from. John said, "My God, you know." Then the elders told John that they were escaped from the great tribulation. Washed, they serve God day and night in the temple of God, and no longer suffer from hunger, thirst and sun exposure. The lamb shepherds them and leads them to the source of the spring of life, and God wipes away their tears of sorrow.

The lamb finally opened the seventh seal, and the heavens immediately fell silent. About two quarters later, the seven angels standing before God were given seven trumpets, and an angel holding a golden censer came to the altar. The cigarettes and the prayers of all the saints rose slowly before God; the angel filled the censer with the fire on the altar and poured it on the ground. Suddenly, lightning flashed and thunder thundered, and the earth trembled.

At this time, the seven angels with the trumpets sounded the trumpets respectively.When the first angel sounded his trumpet, hail mixed with fire and blood fell from the sky, and one-third of the trees and grass were burned away.

When the second angel blew his trumpet, the burning mountain rolled down into the sea, and the sea water became bloody water, and one-third of the creatures and ships in the sea were dead and broken.

The third angel sounded the trumpet, and the big star called wormwood, burning from heaven, fell into the rivers and their water sources, and the water in the rivers became bitter like wormwood, and many people died.

The fourth angel blew his trumpet, and one-third of the sun, moon, and stars were struck and darkened, and the day was no longer bright, and the night had no stars to shine.An eagle flew in the air and cried, "Three angels will blow the rest of the trumpets; woe to you, you people who dwell on the earth! Woe to you! Woe to you!"

The fifth angel blew the trumpet, a star fell from the sky, and opened the abyss with the key of the abyss, and thick smoke came out of the pit, covering the sky and covering the sun; swarms of locusts rushed out with the smoke These locusts looked like war horses preparing to go out, wearing golden crowns, faces like men, hair like women, with sharp teeth like lions, iron armor on their chests, and tails of scorpions. They flapped their wings like Tens of thousands of horses are galloping, and their messengers are to hurt those people who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads. They will use the poisonous stings on their scorpion tails to hurt these people for five months. I can't ask for death.The messenger of the Abyss is the king of locusts, and his Hebrew name is Abaddon.This is the first disaster for the people of the earth.

The sixth angel began to blow the trumpet, and a voice from the four corners of the golden altar in front of God ordered the angel who played the trumpet: "Release the four messengers who are bound in the Euphrates River." These four messengers have already made a vow to kill three One of the crowd.When he was released at this time, he immediately obeyed his wish.I saw that they had a large number of soldiers and horses, and the armor on the chest of the cavalry was like fire, accompanied by purple horses and sulfur, as if they were burning; the horses were all very majestic, with heads like lions and tails like snakes with snake heads. It spewed out fire and smoke, with puffs of brimstone, and a third of the people died at their feet.The remaining two-thirds, upon seeing this, still did not think about repenting, and continued to worship demons and idols, and continued to commit murder, sorcery, rape, and theft.

After the disaster passed, another angel descended from the sky. He was clothed in colorful clouds, his head was surrounded by a rainbow, his face was like a red sun, his feet were like pillars of fire, and he held a small scroll opened in his hand. The lion roared, and with this cry, seven thunderclaps were deafening.John was about to write down what he saw, when a word came from heaven: "Seal what the seven thunders have said, and do not write it." Then he ordered him to take the little scroll from the angel's hand and eat it, saying eat it. When you taste it in your mouth, it will feel as sweet as honey, but when you eat it, you will feel bitter in your stomach.John complied, and sure enough.
