Revelation 7: “The Four Winds”

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

“And after these things I saw four angels

standing on the four corners of the earth,

holding the four winds of the earth,

that the wind should not blow on the earth,

nor on the sea, nor on any tree.

And I saw another angel ascending from the east,

having the seal of the living God:

and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels,

to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,

Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees,

till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.”

Revelation 7:1-3

.

This above signature passage speaks of the time when the four winds will be let loose, just after God’s servants are sealed in their foreheads.

.

So just what are these four winds which were to be let loose after the servants of God were to be sealed in their foreheads?

“EVERY WIND OF DOCTRINE”

.

Listen to Paul’s letter to the Ephesians…

Till we all come in the unity of the faith,

and of the knowledge of the Son of God…

That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro,

and carried about with every wind of doctrine”

Ephesians 4:13, 14

.

Now here we see that the winds represent, “every wind of doctrine”.

WINDS NOW BLOWING?

.

Now at this point someone will stand up and shout… “Well that’s already happening today!

False gospels and various ideologies are indeed blowing in the winds, from every direction!”

.

Yes, false gospels and worldly ideologies abound in today’s church-world, causing much strife, confusion, and even war!

.

This present-day world is a veritable cyclonic hurricane or tsunami of ideologies, philosophies and false gospels!

PANDEMIC MADNESS

.

Just turn on any TV or radio station or go to any website or social media site! Truly, truly, madness and confusion abound!

.

Many young people are now being virtually driven to violence, mental issues, depression, even suicide, because of all the insanity being broadcast over “the power of the air”, that is, via today’s various electronic media!

(See Ephesians 2:2 for “the power of the air” reference)

.

And to make matters even worse, secularists have worked tirelessly to eradicate the Bible from society!

They are like ships lost at sea, “driven of the wind and tossed”! (James 1:6)

VALLEY OF DRY BONES

.

Well, let’s turn our attention on Ezekiel 37 for a moment…

“Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man,

and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD;

Come from the four winds, O breath,

and breathe upon these slain,

that they may live.”

Ezekiel 37:9-11

.

And in this above passage, this “son of man” was commanded to prophesy to the winds… “Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.”

THE CHURCH: THE COMMONWEALTH of ISRAEL

Ephesians 2:12

.

But how does this apply to the Church in these last days?

After all, the Church, made up of both Jew and Gentile, is now considered to be “the whole house of Israel” (Ezekiel 37:11 & 39:25)

.

This website has a number of articles which make that abundantly clear!

(See, for example, March 14th (Paul the Ultimate Replacement Theologian!) And Also Read..”Do Replacement Theology Christians Hate Jews?”.

So how does all this relate to these verses concerning the four winds and the sealing of God’s servants in their forehead?

WISE VIRGINS

.

Well, to put it briefly, it is those who have been hiding God’s Word in their foreheads (in their hearts & minds), who are the very ones to be sealed.  

.

These are the “wise virgins”, spoken of in Matthew 25.

THE VALLEY OF DRY BONES

.

And so, these wise, yet sleeping virgins, are the valley of dry bones, which are prophesied of, to be resurrected in these last moments of earth’s history.

.

They are the whole house of Israel as James puts it…“the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad” James 1:1.

.

And from reading the Book of James, it is obvious that he is writing to the Church, which he refers to as the “Twelve Tribes.”

DETAILS ARE YET UNKNOWN

.

Now just exactly how all this will play out, nobody knows for sure, except Heaven itself.

.

But it will play out! Make no mistake about that!

.

And God’s people will come from the four winds, from every quarter and from every false gospel and ideology which has held them in apostasy and spiritual bondage, and they will awaken to go forth to meet the Bridegroom!

“And after these things I saw four angels

standing on the four corners of the earth,

holding the four winds of the earth…“

Revelation 7:1

.

This above verse from Revelation 7:1, speaks of, not only four literal angels, but of all God’s people! 

.

In other words, His true worshipers, numbered also with those “four angels”, are crying out to Heaven each and every day for God to hold back the winds!

.

And may this precious time be used that all may receive God’s seal in their foreheads (that is, in their hearts & minds)!

.

So, let’s keep pleading for His continued grace, mercy, and peace to be abundantly shed upon all, before those four winds blow with such a great and dreadful, cyclonic force!

TODAY’S FEATURED HEAVENLY SIGN

THE NARROW GATE STARS

.

This can even be observed into June in the western sky (for a short time just after dark).

While a dark night is best for seeing the Woman Constellation, the 4 stars which comprise the Narrow Gate/Wide Gate Stars can be seen even under mediocre conditions.

It begins with the Fleeing Woman of Revelation 12 Constellation (AKA Ursa Major) going towards these two doors.

.

The sketch to left shows, the two doors are each composed of two bright stars.

The two bright stars that comprise the Narrow Gate are the two brightest stars of the Orion the Reaper’s sickle.

The two stars that comprise the ‘Wide Gate’ Stars are the two brightest stars of the wave of water that comes out of the Dragon Constellation’s mouth (for explanation of “Wave of Water”, just click here).

The stars that make up the ‘Narrow Gate’ are about half the width of the Wide Gate (see sketch to left).

.

(For more information on Orion’s sickle, just click here, “Orion The Reaper”.)
