Where is the mention of Jesus? You conveniently left that verse out. Keep reading.
16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
Well aware of the OPENING of the Seals Begins the Wrath of God, expressly the Wrath of the Lamb, for men choosing to Reject the Baptism of the Holy Spirit.
God is NOT ON Earth, while He is sending His Tribulation to Destroy the Earth.
Secondly read the next chapter. Where do you think the great multitude came from? Jesus has returned for the gathering FROM HEAVEN AND EARTH, meaning there is "A" rapture. They return to heaven for the marriage supper and remain there during the wrath of God.
Rev 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;
The Great Multitude?
Do you listen, hear, what a great multitude of men’s testimony IS:
I’m Christian...
I was Water Baptized...
I was Christened as a baby, don’t remember a thing about it...
I was born again
but still sin...
Ya, I was saved
but must do works to keep my salvation...
I can only be martyred to receive my salvation...
I am Jewish, heard, didn’t believe Jesus is the Christ...
I Believe...what? Guesswork.
Blah, blah, blah...
None of those things, are men having received Salvation According to Gods NEW Covenant.
Yes there IS a multitude that will experience the Wrath of the Lamb, and
Call on the Lord and CONFESS their belief IN God IN Jesus is the Christ, become KILLED, their BODY NOT risen until after the 1,000 yr. First Resurrection...and their soul saved, spirit quickened and rise up to Heaven...
Yep, those that are not raptured at the gathering from heaven and earth which occurs at the 6th seal are certainly hiding. The wrath of God is about to begin.
The Wrath of God, Gods Tribulation; BEGINS at the opening of the FIRST SEAL.
The RAPTURE occurs BEFORE the FIRST SEAL IS OPENED.
The RAPTURE APPLIES TO ONLY those IN CHRIST, before the Tribulation Begins
Also it appears that you do no understand that the wrath of God is OVER at the 7th trumpet. The vials are just a different view with different information of things that occur in the same time frame as the trumpets. Wrath is over at the 7th trumpet. Then in the vials you get a different view of wrath and wrath is over at the 7th vial.
Disagree with you.
Gods Tribulation/ Wrath Begins with the First Seal Opening...
It applies to ALL WHO HAVE NOT BECOME CONVERTED.
- During the Seals, During the Trumps...Men are becoming saved...Men are making their allegiance to Satan...Men are killing and being killed...
- During the Vials, a few believing mortal men are reserved, the rest of the mortal living men are in allegiance to Satan, and their suffering increased with Gods Wrath and with Gods VENGEANCE against men who intended and causes tribulations and hardships AGAINST believers IN God, IN Christ Jesus, Because such men DID BELIEVE.
Rev 10
7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.
Yep, MYSTERY OF GOD finished....
The BIG mystery of God seems to be ..... HOW...God has been Dividing and Separating that which belongs to Him from that which Rejects Him...for Centuries.
Jesus is right here, in Revelation 14. As I said, the wrath of God is OVER at the 7TH TRUMPET. What you see in Rev 13 and 14 occurs in the seals. You are getting a different view of what happens in the seals with different information. The coming of Jesus in Rev 14 is just a different view of the coming of Jesus at the 6th seal. How do we know that? In verse 19 we see that the ungodly are cast into the wrath of God, which is exactly what happens at the 6th seal....wrath is about to begin.
Rev 14
14 And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.
Yep......John looked.....where was John when He Looked?
NOT ON EARTH! Already went over this.
WHEN the Son of man Returns........EVERY eye shall see him...
John’s perspective was from Heaven, not Earth.
15 And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.
16 And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.
Yep....sat on the cloud....separating....uh a cloud is not Earth.
Son of man Returns TO Earth.
17 And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.
18 And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.
19 And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.
In the clouds...gathering unto Himself what IS of the spirit....and gather unto the Earth what chose to REMAIN earthly.
What you are getting is two different views of the same event. Jesus tells you the moon does not her light. Whereas John has a vision and tells you that the moon is as blood. Ever seen an eclipse? The moon turns to blood before it goes dark as the rays of the sun are bending around the earth. I'm sure you have heard of the 4 blood moons. Those were eclipses where the moon does not give light. The moon turns to blood before it goes dark.
Familiar with what causes no reflection upon the moon, to make the moon appear to not have light, as well as appearance of blood red moons.
I trust God is angry, getting angrier, and His wrath shall begin with the Heavenly Tribulation...via the opening of first seal and end with the last vial.... and thereafter 1,000 yr reign...and thereafter WAR...and thereafter Judgements, sentences fulfilled....and thereafter all things anew.
Glory to God,
Taken
