I FORGOT TO SAY … REVELATION 8:1-6 … SEVEN ANGELS, SEVEN TRUMPETS!

May 8, 2023 by Dr. Mike Bagwell

I wanted this particular “Evening Meditation” class to be the “lead-in” to the blowing (sounding) of those terrible Trumpets of judgment yet to echo over the world.

“1 And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour. 2 And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets. 3 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. 4 And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel’s hand. 5 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. 6 And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.”

Seven angels …

I think NOT these are the angels of the seven Churches!

(Do not mix the Church and the world or the Church and the Jew!)

1 Corinthians 10:32 … Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God.

We must rightly divide the Word of Truth!

***

One reason I now suspect (teachers learn too) that Michael may be just one of God’s archangels …

Daniel 10:13 … But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia.

In fact, before Satan fell from Heaven, actually was expelled due to rebellion (Isaiah 14 and Ezekiel 28) …

Ezekiel 28:14 … Thou (Satan) art the anointed cherub that covereth (sakak = defendest); and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.

He defended, covered, abode at the very Throne of God!

That’s archangel territory for sure!

***

On “incense” as a picture of prayer …

Psalm 141:1-2 … LORD, I cry unto thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto thee. 2 Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.

Verse 3 which follows is also a great “tongue tamer” challenge, a powerful daily prayer to God …

Psalm 141:33 … Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.

***

There is a Temple in Heaven right now …

Exodus 25:40 … And look that thou make them after their pattern, which was shewed thee in the mount.

(The earthly tabernacle was constructed after the patters of the heavenly tabernacle/temple!)

Hebrews 8:5 … Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount.

Revelation 7:15 … Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.

But there will be no temple in the New Jerusalem, in the glorious Heavenly City to come …

Revelation 21:22 … And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.

***

These are just some “jottings” I did not have time to include in the video class. Now, watch that if possible …
