Bible Question:
There are "seven classes" of men (Rev 6:15) acknowledge on the Day the sun ceases to shine (vs 12) These classes will be hiding in the mountains from the wrath of the Lamb (vv 15 -16) There is no "invading armies in the valley of Megiddo." in this passage. Where are the "Seven Thunders"? Rev. 19:18 has nine groups. |
Bible Answer: Amazingly, Rev.6:15,16 occurs on the same 12-Hour Day that Rev.16:15,16 and Rev.19:15,16 occur! On that Day Christ destroys the armies at Armageddon and rescues every believer as He promised. John 6:38-40. He will "gather the Elect from earth to heaven in the days after the great tribulation." Mark 13:24,27. No one can deny this truth that Jesus alone "raises up all believers before He sends the angels to gather them above and out of the four winds of heaven." Matt.24:31. The seven last plagues have been finished as of Rev.6:12 when the sun ceases to shine, the heavens are shaken, the stars fall, the islands move out of their places, the mountains disappear and the wicked disintegrate while standing in their tracks! Rev.16:19-21; Zech.14:12. The messages of the Seven Thunders, which John has not yet revealed, speak out in Rev.10:1-4. Because he alone knows their content; but also digested the book which he "sealed up" before learning that he must prophesy again...he alone is qualified to reveal to these seven classes of men that, as Seal Six opens on the Lastday, "The Wrath of the Lamb has come." These classes are hiding in unbelief before the sun turns dark! The point about the two groups is that one group acknowledges God's wrath has come after hiding from the armies at Armageddon. When Christ appears to destroy the wicked, God allows those who are hiding to either "call on the rocks to hide them from His wrath also...or, instead of seeking to save themselves, and remembering the promise of Joel 2:31,32, they may cry out to the Lord to deliver them from death. They "remember Lot's wife." Luke 17:32,33. The word "preserve" is the same as that used of "keeping Moses alive" when all the male babies were killed. Acts 7:19. Mel |
