Why? Why would I say that “throughout” the word to “those” specific suffering…when my point was “everyone” shall be Suffering, with no option of relief…even to the point of desiring death, and even that will not be possible?



Satan is on Earth.
Wicked men are on Earth.
Both are Causing Tribulations…NOW.

What IS SENT down From Heaven, is INCREASED “POWER”, given Satan.

Why?
Because of the Unrighteousness of the inhabitants IN the World.

Why?
Because of The Lords Anger, Because of Gods Anger.

What? is the Reaction of The Lords Anger, of Gods Anger? Wrath.

Rom 1:
[18] For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

Do you believe, the Lord Gods Tribulation, Anger, Wrath, Suffering is Greater than Satan’s’? Than mans?
I do, and said so, in context.



Yes. Already covered that…
Beginning with the effects of SEAL 1 Opened…then, increase with, SEAL…2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7…then the 7 trumps, then the 7 vials.



Yes the 5th Trump…power increased…and the specific effect.



Yes.



Okay…
So there ARE men ON Earth…With Gods Seal ON their Foreheads…
WHEN …WHO are these men?
What about These men?
Were they on Earth suffering the 7 seals, the first Four Trumps effects?




What believers?
Believers Before the Seals were opened?
Becoming Believers during the 7 seals opening, the first 4 Trumps?
Who are these Believers?
And what exactly do you mean by Believer?
Believer in God?
Believer in Christ Jesus?
Believer in Satan?
Committed Believer in God?
Committed Believer in Christ Jesus?
Committed Believer in Satan?
?




And Why are they being tormented?
Satan's wrath is not God's Wrath.
Revelation clarifies when God's wrath is poured out and on whom.

Satan's wrath is as the LORD told us:

John 16:33 I have told you these things so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation.
But take courage; I have overcome the world!”


Matthew ch24 - Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake. And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. But he who endures to the end shall be saved.
And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.

And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened.


“Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

God's Wrath - Revelation ch6

Then the kings of the earth, the nobles, the commanders, the rich, the mighty, and every slave and free man hid in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains. And they said to the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of the One seated on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb. For the great day of Their wrath has come, and who is able to withstand it?”

God's Wrath
Revelation ch16
Then I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels, “Go and pour out the bowls of the wrath of God on the earth.”

Because? You think I have Not, and have said something for you to believe The letters DO NOT apply to THE Church?



Why is this signifiant to me?
I have on more than one occasion already testified I gave my life unto death Crucified with Christ Jesus.



Who is “him”?


Who are these “saints”?
Overcome…meaning What? Killed? Forced into submission to believe in him? Him who? Forced to Follow, worship Him? him who?



“Him” again, power…ruling all people on earth.

Who are ALL people ON Earth…?
Believers? In what specifically?




All who dwell ON Earth Will Worship “him”…but not really….
Caveat…Only those who Will Worship “him” WILL BE those whose NAME is NOT “IN” the Lambs Book of Life.

So WHO specifically has their NAME written in the Lambs Book of Life?
WHEN was their NAME Written IN the Lambs Book of Life?
Are THEY alive ON Earth?
If they ARE alive ON Earth….Not worshiping the World ruler…(as all ON Earth Are worshiping “him”…). What are these people Doing?





Are these people (who name is in The Lambs Book of Life Being Killed? By Whom? “Order of World ruler”?
You don't know who the saints are?

Man is a spirit ,which was before the flesh
And the soul can die

Are you saying there was man's spirit before God created man?

The soul is dead when all life ceases! That's why Christ tells believers we need have no fear of being killed physically. Because through Him we have eternal spiritual life by His Spirit in us. Even though our body can be killed, man is not able to destroy our living (spirit) soul. Because when our body dies the spirit in man returns to God in heaven alive a spirit soul. That's how John sees living souls (spirit) in heaven after saints have been martyred for their faith.

Matthew 10:28 (KJV) And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

Satan's wrath is not God's Wrath.

Never said or implied. Each Wrath…the Lambs, The devils, Gods was mentioned.

Revelation clarifies when God's wrath is poured out and on whom.

Satan's wrath is as the LORD told us:

As well the Lambs Wrath…

Now who specifically shall suffer each of those Wraths…on Earth?

Lambs wrath, devils wrath, Gods Wrath ?

We are in disagreement in particular things.
Yes I know who the saints are, but I do not know who you believe the saints are.
Through Him we have received grace and apostleship for obedience to the faith among all nations for His name, among whom you also are the called of Jesus Christ;
To all who are in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints:

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, To the saints who are in Ephesus, and faithful in Christ Jesus:

Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren who are with me greet you.

To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ who are in Colosse: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Here is the patience of the saints; here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.

I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
There is one Body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism;
one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

So God, who knows the heart, acknowledged them(Gentile Saints) by giving them the Holy Spirit,
just as He did to us(Jewish Saints), and made no distinction between us(Jews) and them(Gentiles), purifying their hearts by faith.

Where are you scooting to? Even the phrase born again , is not translated correct , the so called born again as you say , will be deceived .

Christ comes here , the only way one gets to Heaven is if they die before the return
You are wrong. If the rapture , or the great snatching away, occurs inmy lifetime, I will be whooshed to heaven in the blink of an eye, body soul and spirit. If I die prior to, my soul and spirit go to heaven and my body goes to the ground.

Man is a spirit ,which was before the flesh
And the soul can die
Can it? That would mean part of God can die.

Genesis 2:7
And Jehovah God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

Not ignoring you, been super busy today.

Didn’t expect a sermon. Guess your answer is a Saint is a man who is Sanctified, (set apart) because he has the Spirit of God IN him?

I don’t believe so much that scripture explains…more so gives knowledge.

I was simply looking for your view in your words.

The saints are those who believe in CHRIST , they are the born again , they are the church , the body of Christ .
Yes indeed . now let us praise and thank the glorious Lord my friend .
The beast rages war against the church of Christ . The lambs shall not fear man , the LORD is with us and prescious in His sight
is the death of his saints . Many saints have bled and died through all generations . And as inquity increases
tribulations will only increase against the true saints of the Most High GOD who cling to the CHRIST OF GOD , CHRIST JESUS .

See that's the problem , you all believe Christ returns twice , which is not taught nowhere scripture . Why would Christ bring those in Heaven with Him at the 2nd coming to turn around and go back to Heaven .

Yes your body(dust) does go back to the ground, however it ain't coming out

We were spirit before flesh, we were with God before being made flesh, had lucifer not led a rebellion , we never would have been .

You are 100% correct = Christ does not Return twice.

There will be a Resurrection of the dead in Christ at His Second Coming = bodies will rise from the dust of the earth.

Daniel 12:1-3
At that time Michael, the great prince who stands watch over your people, will rise up. There will be a time of distress, the likes of which will not have occurred from the beginning of nations until that time. But at that time your people—everyone whose name is found written in the book—will be delivered.
And many who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake, some to everlasting life, but others to shame and everlasting contempt.
Then the wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness will shine like the stars forever and ever.

1 Corinthians 15:12-23
But if it is preached that Christ has been raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?
If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is worthless, and so is your faith. In that case, we are also exposed as false witnesses about God. For we have testified about God that He raised Christ from the dead, but He did not raise Him if in fact the dead are not raised.

For if the dead are not raised, then not even Christ has been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins. Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. If our hope in Christ is for this life alone, we are to be pitied more than all men.

But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.
But each in his own turn: Christ the firstfruits; then at His coming, those who belong to Him.

Hebrews 9:28 (KJV) So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

It is the spirits of just men made perfect that return with Christ. The permanent home for faithful saints is NOT heaven, but the new earth. The spirits of these just men returning from heaven with the Lord, being spirit, have no physical body, which shall be for the new earth. What would be the purpose for a new earth if there are no immortal and incorruptible (physical) human beings to inhabit it? The answer is that there will be immortal, incorruptible, complete human beings to inhabit the new earth, because when the last trumpet sounds the dust that makes the body will be resurrected and changed from mortal to immortal and corruptible to incorruptible. There would be no reason for the resurrection of their body from the dust without having an eternal spirit which gives the body life. That's why the spirits of just men made perfect return with Christ, so they can be reunited with an immortal, incorruptible human body, resurrected to life again.

The Bible tells only that believers shall be caught up to meet the Lord in the air. We will be with the Lord in the air (wherever that may be) only until the wrath of God by fire has been poured out upon the whole earth. When the first heaven and earth have passed away, there will be a new heaven and new earth that comes down from heaven "the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband."

Hebrews 12:22-23 (KJV) But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,

1 Corinthians 15:51-54 (KJV)
Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

Revelation 21:1-3 (KJV) And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.

Amen! "Returns all the way to the earth," ONCE, according to prophecy for Israel (Dan, Mat, Rev)

Rightly Divided (2 Timothy 2:15) From “Things That Differ” (online)

"Comes to Gather His Body To Himself, meeting in the air, to take us to GloryLand,"
according to "The Revelation Of The Mystery!"
(Romans - Philemon) ♫ :innocent:

Peace Brethren,

ALL things according to Prophecy, the Gospel, the Apostles and Revelation will take place upon His Second Coming.

At the Second Coming of Christ, HE will Resurrect the Dead in Him = 1 Thess 4:13-18

But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope.
For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus.

For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words.

AFTER the Resurrection and Rapture, His feet will stand on the Mt. of Olives = Zechariah ch14

Then the Lord will go forth
And fight against those nations,
As He fights in the day of battle.
And in that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives,
