The fear of these things will be the beginning and the end.

Today I give thanks to the Lord for his precious gift of Free Will...........that I can come to him when I need comfort.

Amen

"nor on how to do it."
 
Absolutely!!...........The Lord created such a beautiful playground for us all and Man broke the rules as soon as he set foot on it. There is a positive in it though........With the help of the Lord's Grace and forgiveness, some of us will get to enjoy the new playground as soon as he decides it's time to fix it! (which is very soon)

Amen

I give Thanks to the Lord that he did not have to get approval first from mankind to create the Heavens and the Earth.

Amen

Their prayers have already been answered. By the sacrifice of the goats, she is finding the Lord. Some day, she will return to that land with the Glory of the Gospel with her, and begin saving the "us" the man mentioned that are left, in his reply to her.
It is by God's will.
I will give a prayer of thanks to the Lord!

Pastor Roger & blackeyedpeas

Thank you both for your posts of knowledge on this subject. I give Thanks for your time and devotion. The understanding of any verse of scripture will be known in a future event. The confoundments of the scripture is there for a reason that we may never discover until a predetermined time. I would venture to say that we must have patience in the answers until that time. One thing the scriptures do present us with as a gift, is that it keeps us open to seek the word of Gospel. The desire to know, leads us to keep our Bibles open, so that we continue to read. We are born with the seed in our souls. The Gospel leads us to nourish that seed, so that it may grow fruits. The gift of those fruits is what we share to mankind by example.
The example set forth by the seven churches is detrimental to the Salvation of all mankind.
Let us pray for those who are lost;and for those who would nourish those seeds; by example.

This may be off from the original subject, but it is an example of the whole.

First off this morning, I would like to Thank Pastor Roger for his post with the links posted. That was some very enlightening reading. Lots of food for Wisdom

The very first verse you posted is what led me to this question in the first place.

Revelation 1:4 and from the seven Spirits who are before His throne,

I am of the wisdom that these seven spirits who are before His throne, are directly related to the opening of the seven seals. Therefore, this leads me to wonder if the seven stars, who are the seven angels of the churches, are really the seven spirits who are before his throne.
Now bear with me in this thought...............Where did these seven spirits come from that are before his throne?
I have been led to this verse below:

"Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils." Mark 16:9

The wrath of the opening of the seven seals will be executed in place by the seven spirits at his throne. (In other words, they will be turned loose)

We then can go to the Golden Lampstands and verify the seven cups which will be poured out over the land.

The little book was delivered to the Pastors of the churches in Asia Minor for sure...........However, I find it hard to believe that these seven pastors would be considered angels.

 

Trust in the Lord. Follow his word. His promise will be delivered to you.

If you "could" do something right...........What would it be?

Thank you...........Here all along I was thinking that the 7 angels were actually the 7 Spirits of the 7 Seals which coincided with the 7 candlesticks when they were opened.

You are saying that these 7 angels represent the 7 Pastors of the 7 Churches in Asia Minor?
Also, is that where Paul journeyed to deliver the Word to these 7 Pastors so they could spread the Gospel to all Nations?

Hello.....I am new to this forum. May the Lord be with you.

I am doing some searching on a verse. The verse is pasted below.
My question is this........Who, What represents the 7 Angels?

"The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches."

REV. 1:20

Thank you......
