But as it is written, Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which the Lord has prepared for them that love him. Translated from KJV

This does not just speak to what awaits us at the End Of The Age. It also speaks to what is now available in heavenly places In Christ Jesus.

Jesus came that we might have Abundant Life .

That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;

That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that you also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.

Let that therefore abide in you, which you have heard from the beginning. If that which you have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, you also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.

The Gospel of Grace Through Faith is the foundation for life and we ought never to depart from it.

How do we continue in the Son and the Father?
   → The Son is the Word.
   → The Father is the Holy Spirit.

12

Brothers, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you have heard from the beginning.

There is no need for new commandments. We need to observe the Word in all things.

For this is the message that you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.

love the Lord and love one another and so fulfill the Law and the prophets.

14

And every spirit that confesses not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of the Holy Spirit: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof you have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. Translated from KJV

Every person
   → is either saved or lost
   → is either a wheat or a tare
   → is either going to heaven or going to hell

Eliab was concerned about his sheep when the whole nation was being threatened by the Philistines. Petty-minded people will get angry when you are not just as petty.

David was accused of pride because he had confidence in the Lord. Doubters will always react to faith this way so don't let it bother you.

59

69

For this cause also thank we the Lord without ceasing, because, when you received the word of the Lord which you heard of us, you received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of the Lord, which effectually works also in you that believe. Translated from KJV

It is wonderful when hearers of the Word become believers and receivers of the Word that we minister to them.

83

And she said to the king, It was a true report which I heard in my own land of your acts, and of your wisdom:

86

(For he says, I have heard you in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured you: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation).

Many hear the Gospel of Grace in vain by not believing and receiving it.

Those who would think they can put the Holy Spirit off are guilty of the sin of self-worship which offends the Holy Spirit. When the Holy Spirit is offended He simply does not deal with the offender again. Hence, they will never have a desire for the Lord.

Today is the day of salvation. Grace is not offered as a gift certificate, redeemable at the individual's discretion.

87

And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in it.

115

117

When Toi king of Hamath heard that David had struck all the host of Hadadezer,

And said, Cornelius, your prayer is heard, and your alms are had in remembrance in the sight of the Lord. Translated from KJV

121

While Peter yet spoke these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all them which heard the word.

Spirit Baptism is a work of faith as is the case with all blessings from the Lord. As Peter preached the Gospel of the kingdom the Holy Spirit quickened their mortal bodies and they begin to speak in tongues under the power of the Holy Spirit.

Notice that the Holy Spirit sanctioned what Peter said about the name of Jesus. When Jesus is lifted up the Holy Spirit lifts up the lifters and those who hear and believe.

122

For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify the Lord. Then answered Peter, Translated from KJV

worshipping the Lord in Spirit and in Truth is worshipping the Lord Jesus in the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the Lord. When He is in us we are enabled to worship in the Spirit Realm, not just in the Physical Realm.

Worship in the Spirit takes an individual from the limitations of rational thought and form to revelation of the glory of Christ Jesus . As we step into the Spirit Realm we are transcendentally taken into a higher consciousness of the Lord and so worship Him in Spirit.

The Truth aspect of worship involves knowledge of and understanding of who we are In Christ so that we grasp our qualification to boldly enter into the Holy Of Holies.

123

And the apostles and brothers that were in Judaea heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of the Lord. Translated from KJV

They received the Word Of The Lord. They did not just hear the Word Of The Lord. hearing only produces faith when that which is heard is believed and received.

124

When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified the Lord, saying, Then has the Lord also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life. Translated from KJV

125

And I heard a voice saying unto me, Arise, Peter; slay and eat.

126

And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.

First of all, this is an observation by Luke who was not an apostle but a recorder. All recorders record things as they see it. The fact that some received while others Refused made no sense to Luke (nor to me) and so he could only assume that some were ordained and others not.

So, which comes first, the believing or the ordaining?

This verse makes it sound like the ordaining came first. However, if one is ordained to eternal life then believing is unnecessary. This cannot be.

When a person believes on Christ Jesus, they are ordained to Eternal Life.

Always remember that the Lord sees the end from the beginning. He knows who will receive Christ Jesus but He does not force or deny anyone access to His Grace.

127

Which when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of, they rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying out,

128

The same heard Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed,

129

Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, You must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment:

130

And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, which worshipped the Lord, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened, that she attended unto the things which were spoken of Paul. Translated from KJV

131

132

133

And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: and others said, We will hear you again of this matter.

134

And they troubled the people and the rulers of the city, when they heard these things.

135

And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of the Lord more perfectly. Translated from KJV

speak, bold, Way

136

And this continued by the space of two years; so that all they which dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.

137

He said unto them, Have you received the Holy Spirit since you believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Spirit.

What is intensely realized in our soul (mind, emotions and will) will manifest in our body.

If the inspiration for that realization is the Spirit Of Truth and the object of that realization is the Word Of Truth then what is manifested through the believer is pure worship and ministry.

Coupled with right realization is control and order.

Just as the Lord does not make us realize, neither does He make us manifest.

So, there is subjectivity involved in how the Holy Spirit manifests in the believer or not.

If you are a cessationist you choose to be so.
If you are a continuationist you choose to be so.

'Have you received the Holy Spirit since you believed?'
To receive something means you accept it.

138

And when they heard these sayings, they were full of wrath, and cried out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.

If they were simply Water Baptized, there was no spriritual, eternal accomplishment.

It is through faith that we receive the gift of Eternal Life by Grace.

140

143

For you shall be his witness unto all men of what you have seen and heard.

144

(And when they heard that he spoke in the Hebrew tongue to them, they kept the more silence: and he says),

145

When the centurion heard that, he went and told the chief captain, saying, Take heed what you do: for this man is a Roman.

146

And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why persecute you me?

147

When we heard the Gospel of Truth we believed it, received it and trusted it.
In so doing we signed the New Covenant that the Holy Spirit offered to us by the preaching of the Word.
As a result, we were Born Again and made New Spirit beings In Christ Jesus.

Our New Spirit is perfect.
Our sanctification in the New Birth made us eligible to receive the Holy Spirit.

faith in Christ and love for the saints is evidence of the New Spirit.

When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned him about, and said unto the people that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.

What Jesus was looking for in the Jews He foind in the Roman gentile.

461

And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.

A plant cannot thrive if it is planted among weeds.

462

But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.

Hearing, keeping and doing the Word.

463

But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole.

Don't fear. believe and receive.

464

Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him: and he was perplexed, because that it was said of some, that John was risen from the dead;

465

Then they that feared the Lord spoke often one to another: and the Lord hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon his name.

466

And when the ten heard it, they began to be much displeased with James and John.

Carnal Minded reaction to a Carnal Minded request.

467

And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, you son of David, have kindness on me.

The cry for mercy is a humble confession of his unworthiness but great need.

468

And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of you hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it.

Jesus cursed the tree because it bore no fruit.

469

And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, because all the people was astonished at his doctrine.

They made up their minds to destroy Jesus despite the many people that believed in Him.

470

And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?

If anyone knew what the first Commnandment was it would be a scribe. So, why is he asking Jesus this question?

471

David therefore himself calls him Lord; and how is he then his son? And the common people heard him gladly.

How can David's Lord be his Son? By the one Lord becoming the Son Of Man who is the Lord Jesus Christ.

For those who need three persons understand that our Lord is not bound by physical laws or carnal reasoning.
   → Jesus is Son
   → Jesus is the image of His Father
   → Jesus and His Father are one
   → Jesus was birthed by His Holy Spirit
   → The Holy Spirit is Father
   → The Holy Spirit is the Spirit Of Christ Jesus
   → Jesus birthed Himself by His Holy Spirit
   → Jesus raised Himself by His Holy Spirit

This is true all at the same time so that Jesus is Lord, Father, Creator and Saviour. Jesus is the express image of the One Lord (who is Spirit) which the entire Bible speaks about.

472

And when they heard it, they were glad, and promised to give him money. And he sought how he might conveniently betray him.

'Finally we have a traitor to give us the inside information with which to accuse and destroy Jesus'.

473

We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands.

prophecy can be interpreted in many ways to suit many purposes.

474

You have heard the blasphemy: what think you? And they all condemned him to be guilty of death.

So, Jesus was guilty of speaking the Truth and for that they Crucify Him.

475

And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calls Elijah.

476

And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been seen of her, believed not.

Jesus told His disciples at least twice that He would be crucified and would rise from the dead. They refused to hear what He said about that and so, when it actually happened, they did not believe. It is important that we study the scriptures so that we can be convinced in our hearts about them. Do not sluff over challenging passages but challenge yourself to believe them and practice them.

477

When Jesus heard it, he says unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

Jesus facetiously refers to the ScribesPhariseesHypocrites as righteous. They needed to repent more so than the rank and file jew.

478

And when his friends heard of it, they went out to lay hold on him: for they said, He is beside himself.

As Jesus reputation grew He became a polarizing influence. Either men believed on Him or they saw Him as a maniacal insurrectionist.

His friends did not want Him to be in such a position and so discouraged Him from His mission.

We should take note that those closest to us may not agree with the special plan of the Lord for us as it causes division with the status-quo group.

479

And from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea, and from beyond Jordan; and they about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they had heard what great things he did, came unto him.

The Gospel of Grace Through Faith draws people of all walks because it is about the love and mercy of the Lord.

480

And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan comes immediately, and takes away the word that was sown in their hearts.

Satan is the thief who steals the Truth and substitutes a lie.

481

And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;

Shallowness, laziness and superficiality are recipes for failure.

482

When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment.

She was desperate but she believed.

483

As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he says unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.

When we get a negative confession we should immediately confess the promise of the Lord. Jesus told Jairus not to give up, that it was not too late.

484

And king Herod heard of him; (for his name was spread abroad:) and he said, That John the Baptist was risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works do show forth themselves in him.

485

But when Herod heard thereof, he said, It is John, whom I beheaded: he is risen from the dead.

So, Herod believed in the resurrection but not the resurrector.

486

For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just man and an holy, and observed him; and when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly.

Herod had some faith.

487

And when his disciples heard of it, they came and took up his corpse, and laid it in a tomb.

488

And ran through that whole region round about, and began to carry about in beds those that were sick, where they heard he was.

Such faith and expectation that people stopped what they were doing and prepared for a host of healings and miracles.

489

For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet:

people coming to Jesus in faith is the only requirement for deliverance, healing and salvation.

490

Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples,

John will never leave prison and he is having doubts about his whole life's purpose which was to prepare for the Messiah.

491

But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow does not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.

The enemy is immediately on the scene to accuse and undermine the work of the Lord.

492

For truly I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which you see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which you hear, and have not heard them.

Jesus is telling His disciples how precious their privilege is in being with Him in His earthly ministry.

493

At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,

despite Jesus' efforts to keep his fame from going abroad, Herod got wind of Jesus.

494

When Jesus heard of it, he departed there by ship into a desert place apart: and when the people had heard thereof, they followed him on foot out of the cities.

Jesus leaves the populated area for the desert because it was not yet time for Him to be taken and crucified.

495

Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Know you that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?

The Truth is always offensive to those who refuse to receive it.

496

And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were very much afraid.

It sems our natural state is fear.

497

But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.

Commitment requires denying oneself for the things of the Lord.

498

When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?

Because most people seek wealth how can anybody be saved.

499

And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation against the two brothers.

Carnal Minds flare up against other Carnal Minds.

500

And, behold, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard that Jesus passed by, cried out, saying, Have kindness on us, O Lord, you son of David.

The blind men honoured Christ by calling on His mercy and acknowledging that He is the promised Son of David - the Messiah.

501

And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spoke of them.

That was very perceptive of them considering how much delusion they were in.

502

When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left him, and went their way.

They recognized the wisdom of His response and went away to do some further scheming.

503

And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine.

Jesus effectively shut down the Saducee branch of judaism.

504

But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together.

505

But when the king heard thereof, he was angry: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.

Those who reject Christ will be destroyed. They are tares. He will send His angels to gather them and burn them.

506

Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He has spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now you have heard his blasphemy.

Crucifixion Week

507

Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calls for Elijah.

Crucifixion Week

508

In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.

More prophesy about the Christ being fulfilled.

509

But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judaea in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there: notwithstanding, being warned of the Lord in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of Galilee: Translated from KJV

Now the Holy Spirit directs Joseph through a dream as to where to take Jesus.

510

When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.

No political ruler wants to hear of a rival. The people who heard the news were probably excited about the prospect of a king who would overthrow Rome.

511

When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.

512

Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he departed into Galilee;

513

You have heard that it was said by them of old time, You shall not kill; and whoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:

Here Christ makes sure they understand that they are all guilty of breaking the Law: "You shall not kill."

514

You have heard that it was said by them of old time, You shall not commit adultery:

Fidelity is a demonstration of integrity and faithfulness which are characteristics of the Lord our Father.

515

Again, you have heard that it has been said by them of old time, You shall not forswear yourself, but shall perform unto the Lord your oaths:

The need to swear is a sign that under normal circumstances one may tell lies.

516

You have heard that it has been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:

This law is good because it controls evil by the threat of equal evil.

517

You have heard that it has been said, You shall love your neighbour, and hate your enemy.

This was an understanding under judaism. It still causes them to be considered clannish for which they are despised by some people. gentiles are considered enemies in traditional judaism.

Jesus is the last Old Testament prophet.
The Sermon On The Mount was given as a bridge between law and Grace.

Jesus extends the law in this Sermon, making every one a sinner, including the pharisees.
He never meant for us to implement His new laws on our own. He knew we would be condemned by the new standards.

The standards that are laid out reflected in His sermon are aspects of the nature of the Lord, which judaism did not understand and so did not teach or live by. These impossible standards infuriated the self-righteous Scribes Pharisees And Hypocrites. And so they rejected Jesus, the Truth, about the Lord and His love, mercy and Grace.

For those who followed Jesus and heard Him teach, they came to understand that the condemnation that is implicit in the unreachable standards of the Sermon On The Mount were prophecies of the transformed life that He would make possible through His death, resurrection and sending us His Holy Spirit.

518

But when you pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.

The Lord is the most intelligent being in the unverse. He hears us the first time we speak. As a matter of fact, He knows what we need before we even ask. On top of that, He knows the imagination of the thoughts of our hearts.

Prayer? Keep it simple. Keep it sincere.

519

When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Truly I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.

Faith with no unbelief results in the power of the Lord being released.

520

But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.

Thr Holy Spirit will lead you to and bring to you those whom you should minister to.

521

And I will execute vengeance in anger and fury upon the heathen, such as they have not heard.

A heathen is not only a person who worships a false god, but one who also violates the laws of the True and Living Lord Almighty.

It is the violation of those laws that corrupts himself, society and even nature. Such must be destroyed in order to restore creation to health.

In the Day Of Wrath those who have rejected the Lord Jesus Christ, choosing rather a heathen existence, will be destroyed along with the works of their hands such that the earth is cleansed of even their memory.

522

Behold, I am against you, says the Lord of hosts, and I will burn her chariots in the smoke, and the sword shall devour your young lions: and I will cut off your prey from the earth, and the voice of your messengers shall no more be heard.

523

Also that day they offered great sacrifices, and rejoiced: for the Lord had made them rejoice with great joy: the wives also and the children rejoiced: so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard even afar off. Translated from KJV

And I was very angry when I heard their cry and these words.

532

535

Therefore you delivered them into the hand of their enemies, who vexed them: and in the time of their trouble, when they cried unto you, you heard them from heaven; and according to your manifold kindnesses you gave them saviours, who saved them out of the hand of their enemies.

536

But after they had rest, they did evil again before you: therefore left you them in the hand of their enemies, so that they had the dominion over them: yet when they returned, and cried unto you, you heard them from heaven; and many times did you deliver them according to your kindnesses;

540

And they said, Has the Lord indeed spoken only by Moses? has he not spoken also by us? And the Lord heard it.

541

And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land: for they have heard that you Lord art among this people, that you Lord art seen face to face, and that your cloud stands over them, and that you go before them, by day time in a pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night.

542

Now if you shall kill all this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of you will speak, saying,

543

How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, which murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me.

544

And when Moses heard it, he fell upon his face:

551

552

But if her husband altogether hold his peace at her from day to day; then he establishes all her vows, or all her bonds, which are upon her: he confirms them, because he held his peace at her in the day that he heard them.

And I heard the angel of the waters say, You are righteous, O Lord, who is, and was, and shall be, because you have judged thus. Translated from KJV

water is necessary for physical life.

603

And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord Almighty, true and righteous are your judgments. Translated from KJV

The Lord is righteouse in all His ways including His judgment.

604

And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in you; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in you; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in you;

The machinery of the world economy will grind to a halt never to be reactivated.

605

And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in you; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in you: for your merchants were the great men of the earth; for by your sorceries were all nations deceived.

Our current administration (Biden) is practicing sorcery by insituting policies that are touted as good while in reality they are self-destructive.

606

And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that you be not partakers of her sins, and that you receive not of her plagues.

At some point in the near future a line will be drawn such that those who cross it become part of the problem that is the world system of finance, business, conversation and politics.

607

And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto our Lord Jesus Christ: Translated from KJV

represent a view of the glory and joy that results from our Lord's return. The calling to the Marriage Supper is the rapture that occurs as soon as the Lord appears in the sky and the last trump is blasted.

describe the Day Of Wrath that immediately unfolds as soon as the bride is taken up from the earth.

608

And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord omnipotent reigns. Translated from KJV

609

I was in the Holy Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, Translated from KJV

John was worshipping in the Holy Spirit - possibly praying in tongues when he experienced the revelation.

610

And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of the Lord is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and the Lord himself shall be with them, and be their Lord. Translated from KJV

Is this our future or our present or both? It is both

Each of us have a body and that body is the temple of the Holy Spirit .
We are bought with the price of Jesus' blood .
We are now Sons Of The Holy Spirit .

But, we have not yet been fully redeemed. Our Spirit is new, but our soul and body are waiting for redemption which will occur at His appearing.

At Jesus' return we will see the perfect fulfillment of this prophecy. Our faith will then be sight as we see Him face to face

Until then, walk in newness of life in the Holy Spirit and the Word by faith .

611

And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which showed me these things.

John who is the 'disciple whom Jesus loved', who saw our Lord resurrected and ascended, who was filled with the Holy Spirit and who penned the wonderful Gospel is awestruck by the angel who gave him the revelation, so much so that he fell down to worship him. But John was not yet glorified. When we are glorified at the appearing of Jesus we will be made more glorious than any of the angels. And this is to the praise, glory and honour of our Lord, Saviour and King Jesus.

612

Remember therefore how you have received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore you shall not watch, I will come on you as a thief, and you shall not know what hour I will come upon you.

Christians are to pay attention. We are not to sleep or be lazy.

613

After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up here, and I will show you things which must be hereafter.

Pre-trib believers interpret the phrase 'after this' to indicate the church is silently raptured and no longer on earth.
That is a big assumption.

What John is actually communicating here is that the things which he will see and tell about happen after the day that he received the vision. They are things that will happen after 95 AD.

614

And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;

An innumerable host of angels are praising Christ Jesus.

615

And every creature who is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sits upon the throne, even unto the Lamb for ever and ever. Translated from KJV

Who sits upon the throne?       The king.
Who is the king?       Jesus.
What is the lamb?       It is a role that the king played for the purpose of salvation.
Only one can sit upon the throne.
So the king and the lamb are the same person - Christ Jesus.

The phrase 'unto him that sits upon the throne and upon the lamb' tells us that the Holy Spirit is the one who deserves 'blessing and honour and glory and power' for His work in the lamb, Christ Jesus. Note the use of the words 'unto' and 'upon'. We give worship unto the Holy Spirit through worshipping Christ Jesus upon whom the Holy Spirit has given glory.

Many people attempt to find the Lord and worship Him. But the Holy Spirit ( God) cannot be found except through the person of Jesus who is the Strait Gate and the Narrow Way.

Every creature that has ever lived will one day praise the majesty and His lamb.

Jesus is no longer a lamb. He is Mighty God. When reference is made of Him on the throne and Him as the lamb, we need to understand that the one on the throne is the lamb. But His role as lamb is finished.

616

And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.

   → who has made salvation possible,
   → who has made His will on earth as it is in heaven possible and
   → who has made possible the completion of His Plan.

617

And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.

618

619

And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see you hurt not the oil and the wine.

A penny (denarius) in the first century was usually equal to a day's wages, and the amount of grain given here is just enough to keep a person alive. This indicates hyper-inflation will occur.

620

And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.

621

And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.

At this point it appears that the Time Of The Gentiles has ended. Now, we see the seal of the Lord being applied to jewish believers.

622

And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!

As if the preceding events were not terrible enough, the three remaining trumpets will release unimagineable suffering and death.

623

And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before the Lord, Translated from KJV

The voice is not the Lord's voice. It is coming from a being who is before the Lord. Likely it is Satan. Because mankind is submitting to him on earth he is exersizing the authority man has given him over the earth.

624

And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.

These angels will inspire the human leader (China?) of a great military force of 200,000,000 men to march toward israel.

625

How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?

Reversing the order we find that:
   → a preacher must be sent
   → the preacher must preach the Gospel
   → the hearer must believe the Gospel
   → the believer must call upon the name of the Lord Jesus Christ
   → the Holy Spirit and Word birth them into the kingdom

626

But I say, Have they not heard? Yes truly, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.

The prophets foretold the sacrifice of the lamb and the coming of the King to inherit the throne of David.

627

But as it is written, To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see: and they that have not heard shall understand.

Bad information is worse than no information at all. This is because, before you can sow, you must first uproot.

628

630

Thus says the Lord of hosts; In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you: for we have heard that the Lord is with you. Translated from KJV

631

I have heard the reproach of Moab, and the revilings of the children of Ammon, whereby they have reproached my people, and magnified themselves against their border.
