As we further our study into the great Book of Revelation, we are following our gaze after what John is presented in this vision.
Behold, the fifth seal releases a view of those who have been slain for the Word of God and the testimony they held. They were given white robes and told to have patience……as they wait for the rest of the brethren that were to be killed as they were…..
Romans 12:1-2 states: I, beseech, you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
I have another question for you to ponder…. Did these saints get slain in the flesh literally or spiritually or both? Hmmmm….. What do you think?
Why is this seal showing saints and not another horse? What is the symbol for the number five?
Are we to be slain at the altar too? What is the altar to us who follow Jesus now?
In the Old Testament, the people of God brought certain animals for different sacrifices, but now what is the sacrifice that we are to offer now? Jesus sacrifice on the cross cleansed us from all sin for us to start our journey heavenbound…. but now what are we to offer as we live this life towards God now?
What is that white garment which is mentioned over and over again in the Word of God? If every Word in the bible is Holy Spirit inspired… then we have to conclude that the white garment is important to the our Holy God, that we are clothed in this Heavenly Garment.
We will keep marching through the adventure of the Book of Revelation, get my book and study along: Jesus Christ, The King Of Kings And The Lord Of All Lords, The Judge Of His Creation.
Hey, be silent and listen for your marching orders in March from the Holy One who has a great purpose for you in His plan!
Think about what God is showing you as you contemplate on the saints under the altar? Brother and sister in Christ, do you see yourself there?
Remember, it is a very blessed person who suffers reproach for the name of Jesus Christ and His testimony!
Heavenly Father, we ask for courage and boldness to receive and live Your plan for us that we through our lives may glorify You and all come to know the One True Living God…. In Jesus name, we ask You…. Amen and Amen- We praise You Father forever and ever. Amen and Amen.
