Revelation 7:1 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. 2 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, 3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
That phrase in our first passage: “Stand Up” refers to the exercise of Divine authority at a time when forces of evil would have tried to coerce the violation of conscience, by trying to force all of earth’s inhabitants, to worship the image of the beast. The worship of the image of the beast would then constitute a violation of the fourth commandment, and thus, would bring upon earth’s inhabitants, the wrath of The Lamb, after our probationary time has expired, as spoken of in the book of Revelation.
Michael, in our first passage refers to Christ, who at that appointed time will rise up to take the reins of control out of the hands of mortal man, not that they were ever in man’s hands, but He will be doing some very strange things, which folks may not have seen or heard Him do before. Let’s repeat, so that you would hear correctly:
Jesus will be doing some strange things at the appointed time, that we may not have heard or seen Him do before. To those who may have been brainwashed by those smooth-talking, truth denying, or politically correct preachers of the day, when Michael stands up, He is going to do things that you’re not expecting to come from the meek, loving God He is known to be.
Isaiah 28: 21 For the Lord shall rise up as in mount Perazim, he shall be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon that he may do his work, his strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange act. 22 Now therefore be ye not mockers, lest your bands be made strong: for I have heard from the Lord God of hosts a consumption, even determined upon the whole earth.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
