The Greatness and Content of the Seventh Seal

Good evening, beloved friends and brethren present, and everyone connected through the Amazonas satellite or internet in different nations. It is a great blessing and privilege for me to be with you on this occasion, to share some moments of fellowship with you around the Word of God and His Program pertaining to this end time.

For this reason, we read in the Book of Revelation, chapter 8, verse 1 to 5, and it says the following:

“And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.

And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.

And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.

And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel’s hand.

And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.”

May God bless our souls with His Word and allow us to understand It.

“THE GREATNESS AND CONTENT OF THE SEVENTH SEAL,” that is our subject for this occasion.

This Seventh Seal and Its opening is a heavenly mystery. And in order to better understand this mystery of the Seventh Seal, we have to see where this Seventh Seal is from, in order to have a clear picture of our subject for this occasion.

In Revelation chapter 4 and chapter 5, we find Heaven open and we find God on His Heavenly Throne, and in His right hand a little Book sealed, closed and sealed with Seven Seals.

Chapter 5 of Revelation, we will read from there to have a clear picture, it says:

“And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.”

This is the Book of Life, where the names of all the ones who will be saved are written, of all the ones who will live eternally in the Kingdom of God; it is the Lamb’s Book of Life.

This is the most important Book in Heaven and, therefore, on Earth too, which we are told about in the same Book of Revelation, chapter 13 and chapter 17, where it says that those who don’t have their names written in the Lamb’s Book of Life are going to worship the beast.

And now, since this is the Title Deed of Eternal Life, the Title Deed of the Heavens and the Earth, Adam had this Title Deed; it was given to Adam by God; because God put Adam on this Earth as king over everything that was on the planet Earth.

But Adam, when he and Eve sinned, they lost the right to have that Title Deed; they lost Eternal Life, and this Title Deed went back to the right hand of God.

In order for human beings to be able to enter into Eternal Life physically, and have physical immortality (which will be in the resurrection of the dead believers in Christ in glorified bodies and the transformation of the believers in Christ who will be alive), this Title Deed must be open.

And now, let’s see how everything takes place in Heaven, because this Book is in Heaven, but Christ is in Heaven with His glorified and eternal body making intercession as High Priest in the Most Holy Place of the heavenly Temple.

The tabernacle Moses built and the temple King Solomon built is a type and figure of that heavenly Temple which is in the heavenly Jerusalem.

And now, this is the Title Deed of Eternal Life, therefore, it is the most important Book there is in Heaven.

It goes on to say:

“And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?

And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.

And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.

And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not.”

Why did John weep so much? Because no man had been found worthy to take that Book, the Title Deed of the Heavens and of the Earth, the Title Deed of Eternal Life; and if no one was found worthy to take It from the right hand of God and open It, everything would be lost and everything would return to nothingness.

Now, the elder tells John: “John, weep not.” He is comforting John. John knew what would happen to the human race and to the entire Universe if this Title Deed was not taken and opened in Heaven, and the Claiming Work done, which the Lord must do: claim everything He has redeemed with His precious Blood: human beings, the Hebrew people, the planet Earth, and all of Creation.

Now the elder tells John:

“Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.”

And now the elder tells John that there is a Person who is worthy, and that He is none other than the Lion of the tribe of Judah.

The lion represents the Messiah, it represents Christ: Christ as Son of David, Christ as King of kings and Lord of lords, Christ as the Heir to the Throne and of the Throne and Kingdom of David.

As the Angel Gabriel said to the virgin Mary: that God shall give Him the Throne of His father David, and He shall reign over Jacob, over Israel, forever. (Saint Luke chapter 1, verses 30 to 36).

And now, it says:

“And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders…”

Those are 24 elders sitting on 24 thrones, which are the 12 patriarchs, sons of Jacob, and the 12 apostles of the Lord.

Remember that Christ said to His disciples: “Ye which have followed Me shall sit upon 12 thrones, and judge the 12 tribes of Israel.”¹ Those are the thrones… sitting in Heaven on thrones. And therefore, when they return to Earth in and for the Millennial Kingdom of the Messiah, they will be on thrones.

They have crowns too; crowns, which identifies them as kings; because crowns pertain to human beings.

“…and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.”

The seven horns and the seven eyes, well, they are the seven Church ages with the seven messengers of the seven Church ages, where the Spirit of God was running to and fro throughout the whole Earth, from the East all the way to the West; from the land of Israel, where the Church of the Lord was born, and then the blessing went to the Gentiles in Asia Minor, from there to here, all the way to the continent of the Americas; passing through Asia Minor, through Europe, and reaching the continent of the Americas: North America and Latin America; which pertains to this end time (what is relevant to Latin America).

Now, John saw, he looked, when the elder tells him:

“Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah…”

And when John looks, he sees a Lamb as if It had been slain.

Was the elder mistaken? No. It’s because Christ is the Lamb of God who took away the sin of the world on Calvary’s Cross. When John the Baptist introduced Christ, said: “Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.”²

Therefore, Christ in His First Coming appears as the Lamb of God to take away the sin of the world, and His death on Calvary’s Cross was as the Lamb of God in the Work of Atonement so that, by Him bearing our sins, He could take them away from us and take them to the one who originated them, which is the devil.

When Christ went down to hell in His heavenly body, He took our sins and left them in hell, there, to the devil, who was the originator; and then He rose with the Old Testament saints: Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, the prophets, all those men of God who rose when Christ rose, and appeared in the city to many of the city.

That is in chapter 27, verse 51 and on, of Saint Matthew, where it tells us… Chapter 27, verse 51 and on, of Saint Matthew, says:

“And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom;” (this was when Christ was crucified), “and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;

And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,

And came out of the graves after his resurrection,” (in other words, after the resurrection of Christ), “and went into the holy city,” (meaning, into Jerusalem), “and appeared unto many.”

Abraham appeared, Sarah too, Isaac and his wife, Jacob and his wife Rachel (just like Isaac and his wife Rebekah); and all the patriarchs and all the prophets rose with Christ when Christ rose, and they appeared in the city to many people.

And in the resurrection, the body that is received is young, which represents 18 to 21 years of age, because it is a glorified, immortal, incorruptible, eternal body.

And now, the New Testament saints, which are the believers in Christ of the different stages of the Church, including our time, will also receive an immortal, incorruptible, and glorified body, just like the glorified body of the Lord Jesus Christ, who is as young as when He ascended to Heaven. Such will be the new body that I will have.

Therefore, I am 70 years closer to that eternal and glorified body that He has promised for me.

Therefore, when I have a birthday, I am celebrating one more year; each year, one year closer to the eternal and glorified body He has promised for me. And for whom else? Well, for each one of you too, believers in Christ. Those are great blessings from Christ for all of His believers.

That is why it says that our conversation or citizenship is where? In Heaven.³

But aren’t we citizens of the country where we were born? Yes, as mortal people yes; but as people who have been born of Heaven (because the new birth is heavenly, from Heaven) we are heavenly citizens, as people who have been born of Heaven.

Christ said to Nicodemus in chapter 3 of Saint John, “Verily, verily, I say unto thee: Except a man be born of Water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God.”

To be born of Water is to be born of the preaching of the Gospel of Christ, to be born of the Gospel of Christ, where the faith of Christ is born in a person’s heart; because faith comes by hearing the Word, the Gospel of Christ;⁴ and with the heart man believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.⁵

That is why the Gospel is preached, the faith of Christ is born in people’s souls, they believe in Christ, and then they are given the opportunity to receive Him as their only and sufficient Savior: confessing Christ as their only and sufficient Savior, making public testimony of their faith in Christ, confessing Christ with their mouth; because with the mouth confession is made… What is confessed? Christ is confessed as their only and sufficient Savior.

That is why Christ once said: “He who shall confess Me before men, him will I confess before My Father which is in Heaven.” In other words: “He who shall deny Me before men, him will I deny before My Father which is in Heaven.” (Saint Matthew chapter 10, verses 32 to 33).

And now, we ask ourselves: “What is a man profited if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?” “For the Son of man shall come in the Glory of His Father with His Angels, and then He shall reward every man according to his works.”⁶

The most important thing is the person’s soul, not the body. The body is important for us to live on this Earth and come in contact with other human beings, and work, and come in contact with Eternal Life while we are in these mortal bodies. Once our physical body dies, if he had not received Christ, it is already too late and there is no longer an opportunity.

And there will be no hope of Eternal Life for that person, because he did not take advantage of it; he did not realize that his stay on Earth is to hear the preaching of the Gospel of Christ, for the faith of Christ to be born in his soul, for him to believe in Christ, and receive Him as his only and sufficient Savior; and be baptized in water in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, repented of his sins, and for Christ to baptize him with the Holy Spirit and Fire, and bring forth the new birth in the person; to thus be born of Heaven, be a heavenly citizen.

Christ is the only One who baptizes with the Holy Spirit and Fire. John the Apostle [the Baptist] rightly stated: “Behold, the One who is coming after me, of whom I said that One greater than I would come, whose shoe’s latchet I am not worthy to unloose; He will baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with Fire, He is the One who baptizes or will baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with Fire.”⁷ And there is no other person.

Jesus Christ was also the One who said: “I will send you the Holy Spirit.”⁸ He is the One who baptizes with the Holy Spirit and with Fire.

That is what He spoke to the Samaritan woman about, in chapter 4, verses 10 to 14 of Saint John, when He said: “If you knew who was asking you for a drink, you would ask of Him, and He would give you the Water of Life, Water springing up into Everlasting Life.” And He is saying this about the Holy Spirit that He will give all His believers.

In chapter 7, also of Saint John, verses 37 to 39, Christ says… That was in the last day, in the last and great day of the feast of tabernacles. He says—crying out, He says:

“If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.”

“And this spake He of the Spirit which they that believe in Him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.”

He was glorified upon resurrecting, He rose glorified. That is why He makes the promise for all those who come to Him:

“If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.”

“And this spake He of the Holy Spirit which they that believe in Him should receive:”

“If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.”

And He says: “Out of his belly shall flow Rivers of Living Water,” referring to the Holy Spirit, which they that believe in Him should receive.

At the rock in Horeb that Moses smote with his rod, and it gave water to the people (who were thirsty, and without water, well, the person dies); it gave water to all the people, to the people and to the animals too, and they did not die.⁹

And without the Holy Spirit, the human being cannot live eternally, he would die; just as the Hebrew people would die there on Mount Sinai if they didn’t receive water from the rock.

And now, Christ is the Rock. And that is why He is the One who gives us Water of Life. That is why He had to be smitten on Calvary’s Cross, to then be able to give us the Holy Spirit, and thus, give us Eternal Life.

The Life of the Blood of Christ is the Holy Spirit, therefore, whoever has the Holy Spirit has the Blood of Christ applied in his soul, in his heart; that is the Token that the person has Eternal Life.

And now, when John the Apostle sees the Person of whom the elder tells him: “Behold the Lion of the tribe of Judah,” when John looks, he sees a Lamb.

What did John see and what did the elder see? The elder didn’t see a lion, nor did John see a lamb; and it seems like I am telling you something contradictory. But it’s because the Lion of the tribe of Judah is the Lord Jesus Christ, and who is the Lamb of God? Well, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Both saw Jesus Christ, the elder saw Him as the Lion of the tribe of Judah and John saw Him as the Lamb of God, for that was how John knew Jesus Christ; he was with Jesus Christ for about three and a half years, and when he heard John the Baptist introduce Christ, he heard that he said: “Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.” And that is how John the Apostle knew Him.

But now Christ is leaving the Father’s Throne, where, with His own Blood, the Blood of the Lamb of God, He has been making intercession as High Priest in Heaven for all those who receive Him as their only and sufficient Savior, and cleansing them with His precious Blood, and thus presenting them before God without sin. Because the Blood of Christ is the one that cleanses from all sin every person who receives Christ as his only and sufficient Savior. It is the Blood of the Atonement, it is the Blood that was shed as a blessing to all of us.

In chapter 1, verse 14 of Colossians, it says:

“…in whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins.”

Without the Blood of Christ, there is no forgiveness of sins.

And now, Christ as the Lion of the tribe of Judah (as the elder sees Him) has changed from Lamb to Lion, and from High Priest to King and Judge of all the Earth. It is a change in Heaven that the High Priest makes, because Christ is King and He is also High Priest, King-Priest, and also Judge; that is the Messiah.

And now, He couldn’t take the Title as Lamb, but now as Judge and as King of kings and Lord of lords, in other words, as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, He takes the Book; but John continues to understand that He is Jesus Christ the Lamb of God, and that is why he presents Him that way. He says:

[Revelation 5:7] “And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne,” (in other words, He took that Seven-Sealed Book out of the right hand of God).

“And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints…”

The saints of the New Testament, the believers in Christ who died physically, have been praying for the resurrection in eternal and glorified bodies, to come back to this planet Earth; therefore, those prayers go up there with the incense that goes up before God’s Presence there in Heaven.

“…and they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;

And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.”

And now, all the believers in Christ have been made unto our God kings and priests. And who did that? The Lord Jesus Christ, He has made us unto our God kings and priests, according to the heavenly Order of Melchizedek.

And now, in chapter 6, the Lamb, Christ, begins to open those Seals, to open that Book of Redemption; and then in chapter 8, the last of the Seven Seals: the Seventh Seal, is opened. And then, in chapter 10 of Revelation, we find something very important that we should all know:

“And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire.”

Who is that Angel, that Messenger? The Lord Jesus Christ, the Angel of the Covenant, the Holy Spirit.

“And he had in his hand a little book open…”

That little Book open is the same little Book that was closed in the right hand of God; He took It, opened It in Heaven, and now He comes in Revelation chapter 10, to Earth, and brings It open in His hand.

“…and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth…”

The sea typifies peoples, nations, and tongues; and the Earth there, well, it pertains to the continent of the Americas, which includes North America and Latin America.

“…and cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth…”

See? There He is as Lion.

He comes, He is coming to His Church; but He will be working in peoples, nations, and tongues, and He will be working in the continent of the Americas; which North America and Latin America belong to, including the whole Caribbean, the Caribbean is not left out.

He comes “crying as when a lion roars,” in other words, His Coming here in Revelation is not as Lamb anymore but as Lion, and He comes with the little Book open in His hand.

“…and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.”

It is the Voice of Christ, the Mighty Angel who comes down from Heaven. And He comes as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, and He comes crying out, and Seven Thunders uttering their Voices. It is the Voice of Christ speaking consecutively among His Church, just as He spoke during the seven stages or ages of the Church through each of His messengers. But here, He will be speaking through only one.

“And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.

And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,

And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer.”

The time for the Dispensation of Grace ends, the time for the Gentile kingdom ends, which is in the stage of the feet of iron and clay; the time for everything ends.

It’s the end of time the end of the century, the end of the world, which we have read so much about in the Scripture, and of which Christ said: “And this Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.”¹⁰

That preaching of the Gospel of the Kingdom will be the Great Voice of Trumpet at the Last Day. That Great Voice with which Christ, the Mighty Angel, cries when He comes down from Heaven and Seven Thunders utter their Voices, that is the Great Voice of Trumpet of First Corinthians chapter 15, verses 49 to 58, and First Thessalonians, chapter 4, verses 13 to 17.

It is the Voice of God through the Holy Spirit speaking at the Last Day, speaking to us with the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom, and opening these mysteries to us and giving us the faith to be changed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.

Verse 7 goes on to say:

“…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.

And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth.

And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.

And I took the little book out of the angel’s hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.

And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.”

John the Apostle represents the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ and each messenger that Christ would have among His Church.

Therefore, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ at the Last Day is represented in John the Apostle; and so is the Messenger of the Last Day, who will be a dispensational prophet that will be making the overlap between the Dispensation of the Kingdom and the Dispensation of Grace, with the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom being overlapped with the Message of the Gospel of Grace… Here that Messenger is the One who takes that little Book out of the hand of the Mighty Angel who comes down from Heaven, and he eats It; and he also makes it known to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.

And now, the Messenger who takes that little Book and eats It, then receives the order to prophesy before many peoples, nations, tongues, and kings; that will be the last prophetic Message for mankind. That Message is the Gospel of the Kingdom, which will contain everything that will happen at this end time.

And that Messenger will have the blessing of the Holy Spirit: the Morning Star will be in him, operating the ministries of the Two Olive Trees: of Moses and Elijah, and Jesus. Those are the three ministries promised for the Last Day, and that is why they are called by the names of the ones who had those ministries, in whom the Holy Spirit operated those ministries.

That is why in Revelation chapter 11, the Two Olive Trees appear prophesying before many peoples, nations, and tongues.

By that time, Christ will no longer be on the Throne of Intercession as High Priest making intercession with His Blood for all those who receive Him as their Savior; His Church will have already been completed and the Door will have been shut.

The wise virgins will have that Message, having received the faith to be changed, waiting for their transformation, to go with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.

The wise virgins will have the blessing of meeting the Bridegroom, Christ; but the foolish virgins didn’t even see Him, they didn’t even know He had come. Because the Coming of Christ to His Church before the Great Tribulation, which is the greatest mystery contained in the Seventh Seal of Revelation chapter 8, will be a revelation given to the Church Bride of the Lord, to those who will go in with Him to the Marriage.

The revelation of the Seventh Seal is the revelation of the Coming of Christ, the Mighty Angel, to His Church; that is a mystery that will be revealed to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ at the Last Day.

When the Seventh Seal is opened in Heaven, the opening of the Seven-Sealed Book will have been completed; Christ will be as Lion of the tribe of Judah and King of kings and Lord of lords, and Judge of all the Earth.

There, after a certain point, begins the time period pertaining to the seventieth week, the second part that is left, which pertains to the time of the Great Tribulation, and those are three and a half years. That is the end time or end of time, because it is the last Divine cycle for the Gentile kingdom, it is the last Divine cycle of the seventy weeks of Daniel.

God will deal with the Hebrew people during those three and a half years, but He will no longer deal with the Gentiles then, the time to deal with the Gentiles will have ended with the opening of that Book in Heaven. When Christ takes It in Heaven, God’s dealing with the Gentiles will have ended, and Christ will no longer be High Priest.

There we have the fulfillment of: “He that is… righteous, let him be righteous still; and he that is unjust, let him be unjust still.”¹¹ There will no longer be an opportunity to change.

And now, for the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, the opening of the Seventh Seal in Heaven will be the most glorious moment. And the bringing of the Title Deed, of that Book which He opens in Heaven (It will be brought to Earth), will be a blessing for the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ upon being given to the Messenger that Christ has in His Church at this end time, which will be a dispensational prophet, which will be the Angel of the Lord Jesus Christ, of whom Christ says:

“I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches.” (Revelation chapter 22, verse *16.)

And Revelation chapter 22, verse 16, says: “I am the root …” Let’s read it here, chapter 22, verse 16, says:

“I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.”

And chapter 22, verse 6, says:

“And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.”

This Angel-Messenger of Jesus Christ is the last dispensational prophet-messenger: the seventh dispensational prophet-messenger; and he is sent to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.

He is the One who will receive the Title Deed from the Mighty Angel who comes down from Heaven, and who will prophecy before many peoples, nations, and tongues; because that Angel-Messenger will be in human flesh among the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.

He is the same One from Revelation chapter 7, verse 2 and on: the Angel ascending from the East and coming with the Seal of the living God, in other words, with the Holy Spirit; with the Bright and Morning Star, which is the Holy Spirit.

In him and through him, Christ in Holy Spirit will be in the midst of His Church, making all these things known to us, and giving us the faith to be changed and taken with Christ to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. And the Holy Spirit, Christ, the Holy Spirit, will be there through that Messenger, prophesying before many peoples, nations, and tongues.

“THE GREATNESS AND CONTENT OF THE SEVENTH SEAL.”

And now, let’s leave the Seventh Seal alone there, and we won’t reveal how It will be, when It will be, and the rest of the details about that Seventh Seal, because the Seventh Seal is the Lord’s Coming, the Lord’s Coming to His Church.

Continue having a joyful evening, everyone, filled with the blessings of Jesus Christ our Savior.

God bless you and keep you all.

“THE GREATNESS AND CONTENT OF THE SEVENTH SEAL.”
