Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Revelation8:1-5 tells about the opening of the seventh.

Revelation8:2
8:2 And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and to them were given seven trumpets. 

The seven angels with seven trumpets mean that every angel is trusted a trumpet. The angel refers to the shepherd. 

The trumpet refers to the true teaching Word that is hard and is trusted by God to one shepherd to preach to the congregation faithfully, regularly, and repetitively. Thus, the Word becomes the food for congregation to grow to spiritual maturity or perfection. The word will purify and change the congregation to become as perfect as Jesus is.

The trumpet also refers to the command or the guidance of God's hands to lead us entering the last shepherding, namely the New Jerusalem.

The attitude to the sound of trumpet or the shepherding Word will determine our life in this world.

There are two opposite situations as follows:

  1. Ones who have listened to and obeyedthe Word will experience the sanctification orlife renewal, so they can receive the love of God that encourages them to worship Him

    The more we are holy, the more the love, worship, and peace increase. It continues until we experience the silence in heaven for about half an hour.

    Revelation8:1-4
    8:1 When He opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.
    8:2 And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and to them were given seven trumpets.
    8:3 Then another angel, having a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.
    8:4 And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, ascended before God from the angel's hand.


  2. Ones whorefuse the voice of shepherd because of hearing the strange oneuntil they refuse the purification and keep the sinswill not have the love of God and they cannot worship Him. It means that they have the spiritual dryness. As a result, they experience the shaking and punishment from the Son of God until the destruction and perdition forever.

    Revelation8:5-13
    8:5 Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and threw it to the earth. And there were noises, thunderings, lightnings, and an earthquake.
    8:6 So the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
    8:7 The first angel sounded: And hail and fire followed, mingled with blood, and they were thrown to the earth. And a third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up.
    8:8 Then the second angel sounded: And something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became blood.
    8:9 And a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.
    8:10 Then the third angel sounded: And a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water.
    8:11 The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters became wormwood, and many men died from the water, because it was made bitter.
    8:12 Then the fourth angel sounded: And a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them were darkened. A third of the day did not shine, and likewise the night.
    8:13 And I looked, and I heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, "Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth, because of the remaining blasts of the trumpet of the three angels who are about to sound!"


Jeremiah6:17-21
6:17 Also, I set watchmen over you, saying, 'Listen to the sound of the trumpet!' But they said, 'We will not listen.'
6:18 Therefore hear, you nations, And know, O congregation, what is among them.
6:19 Hear, O earth! Behold, I will certainly bring calamity on this people--The fruit of their thoughts, Because they have not heeded My words, Nor My law, but rejected it.
6:20 For what purpose to Me Comes frankincense from Sheba, And sweet cane from a far country? Your burnt offerings are not acceptable, Nor your sacrifices sweet to Me."
6:21 Therefore thus says the LORD: "Behold, I will lay stumbling blocks before this people, And the fathers and the sons together shall fall on them. The neighbor and his friend shall perish." 

The result of hearing the strange voice,gossip, oranother teaching that is different from the Bible is that onescannot obey,butrefuse the voice of shepherdor the sound of the trumpet(they feel strange to it).

The results are as follows:

  1. They experience the stumbling blocks. The meanings are as follows:

    • Stumbling and falling in sins up to the peak (the sin of eating-drinking and marrying-being given in marriage) until they fall and cannot rise anymore. 

      There are two kinds of resurrection as follows:

      • The first resurrection when Jesus comes a second time. The dead who lived in Jesus will rise in the first resurrection to be worthy to greet His second coming in the glory.

      • The second resurrection happens after the One Thousand Years of Peace. The evil doers or ones who refuse the voice of trumpet will enter this resurrection to receive the punishment. It is the meaning of falling down and being unable to rise anymore.

    • Stumbling in ministry.
      2 Peter1:10-11 
      1:10 Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble;
      1:11 for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 


      Stumbling in the call and election means unfaithfulness in ministry until losing the full right to enter the heaven and perishing forever.

    • Becoming a stumbling-block for others. It means that one who should have accepted the teaching Word stumbles by our deed and saying, so he refuses the true teaching word. This is the debt of blood that cannot be paid by anything. The result is life suffering from now until perdition.

  2. The frankincense is not acceptable.
    Jeremiah6:20
    6:20 For what purpose to Me Comes frankincense from Sheba, And sweet cane from a far country? Your burnt offerings are not acceptable, Nor your sacrifices sweet to Me."

    It means that one cannot worship God or there is spiritual dryness, so he falls in false worship or the one to Antichrist. It is signified by the following things:

    • The spirit of selling-buying.
      It starts from stinginess and greediness. Being stingy means that one cannot give. Being greedy means that one steals others'.

    • The mouth says the idle words such as gossip, evil speaking, and blasphemy (blaming the true teaching word and supporting the false one). Thus, the door of heaven is closed.

      Revelation13:5-6
      13:5 And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to continue for forty-two months.
      13:6 Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven.


Jeremiah6:17a
6:17 Also, I set watchmen over you, saying, 'Listen to the sound of the trumpet!'...

The right attitude is heeding the true teaching word. It starts from taking heed to what we hear or the true teaching word that is written in the Holy bible. We must hear the word solemnly and with a need.We open the door of our ears and heart widely. We hear the word solemnly until we understand, believe, have faith, and following things the true teaching word.

Revelation4:1-3
4:1 After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, "Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this."
4:2 Immediately I was in the Spirit; and behold, a throne set in heaven, and One sat on the throne.
4:3 And He who sat there was like a jasper and a sardius stone in appearance; and there was a rainbow around the throne, in appearance like an emerald. 

The result of taking heed to the true teaching word is that we are purified and renewed regularly until we grow spiritually. The door of heaven will be opened and we can see God who sits on the throne. It means that we can worship God until we feel the atmosphere of the throne of heaven and the flow of the water of life from Holy Spirit.

Revelation22:1
22:1 And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb. 

The results of experiencing the flow of the water of life from Holy Spiritare as follows:

  1. Holy Spirit pours the love of God, so we will neither get disappointed and desperate nor leave God whatever the condition we may face. We will not be proud easily. We also do not depend on anything in this world.

    Romans5:5
    5:5 Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us. 

    We become strong and of good courage, namely holding fast and obeying the true teaching word, so we can live in holiness and righteousness. We refuse to sin whatever the risk may come. We are faithful and fervent in ministry until the end line. We can give thanks and worship God. We depend on God more than anything.
     

  2. We experience the satisfaction of heaven, so we will not look for the pseudo satisfaction in the world that makes the fall in sins up to the peak. We can keep on living in holiness and righteousness. Where there are holiness and righteousness, we can find the satisfaction of heaven.

    John
    4:14
    4:14 "but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life." 


  3. Holy Spirit flows the glory of heaven to purify and change us to become as perfect and glorious as God is. It starts from being honest and believing God

    Revelation
    22:1
    22:1 And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb. 

    As a result, God will send the blessing to us. The miracles happen. The thing that does not exist yet can be created; the few things can be many; and the impossible ones can become possible. God will fight instead of us. He cares our life from now in the midst of difficulties in the world until the days when the Antichrist reigns over the world. 

    It continues until Jesus comes a second time. We are changed to become as perfect as He is. We are worthy to greet His second coming on the glorious clouds. The door of heaven is opened and we can sit together with Jesus on the throne of heaven forever. 

God blesses us.
