You haven't made a point, so no, I think it doesn't help. How does it help?
HE says Jesus received a crown i.e. "authority" in 1914. The Bible says he received it before that.
"He must reign" also means he has the authority imo.
How is he resigning
without God's permission ie authority, in your opinion?
Maybe, you should help HIM
@kjw47.
@MHz Maybe you can help by explaining to me the difference between
1. reigning
2. having authority to reign
and
3. having a crown on his head
?
They all seem to be the same to me. How are they different to you?
The verses show how much authority Christ is given in terms of removing sinners from the planet, both human and fallen angels.
Perhaps if I give you my opinion on what the seals are that will at least show you where I am coming from.
Re:6:1:
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.
Re:6:2:
And I saw, and behold a white horse:
and he that sat on him had a bow;
and a crown was given unto him:
and he went forth conquering,
and to conquer.
The seals are a prophecy that covers the events leading up to the return. The rider is God and the Holy Spirit is the white horse. The ride is symbolic of the day that nobody knows but is related to the start of the prophecies that must unfold before he return can happen. The method God uses is Christ as this next verse shows.
Isa:49:2:
And he hath made my mouth like a sharp sword;
in the shadow of his hand hath he hid me, and made me a polished shaft;
in his quiver hath he hid me;
The first event in the return is the sealing of the 144,000 and the two witnesses (and the members of the church that have repented their sins). The coals from heaven in Re:8 before the trumps begin to sound are the same as when Saul was struck by a light from above. The ones in Revelations don't get any powers but they do get protection from any physical harm so they end up being witnesses for the tribulation that must happen before the return.
Re:6:3:
And when he had opened the second seal,
I heard the second beast say,
Come and see.
Re:6:4:
And there went out another horse that was red:
and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth,
and that they should kill one another:
and there was given unto him a great sword.
The sword that was left to the rulers of the nations in Romans:13 was used to protect people from evil. The red sword is when that same sword is used to bring evil on the very people it was meant to protect. trumps 1-4 happen in a period of 4 days and at the end it will be a situation when martial law has been declared on a global scale.
Re:6:5:
And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say,
Come and see.
And I beheld,
and lo a black horse;
and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.
Re:6:6:
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 thou hurt not the oil and the wine.
This is also part of the first 4 trumps and this means that the ones who control the red sword will also hoard all the food and they will distribute to the ones they like and withhold it from the ones they classify as 'disposable'.
Re:6:7:
And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
Re:6:8:
And I looked,
and behold a pale horse:
and his name that sat on him was Death,
and Hell followed with him.
And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth,
to kill with sword,
and with hunger,
and with death,
and with the beasts of the earth.
Satan and the Beast from the Pit make their appearance when the 5th trump sounds, from there it is 42 months before the 7th trump sounds. Hell is the pain (but no death) associated with the 5th trump, death is the 6th trump when 1/3 of all the people on the planet will be killed by 4 fallen angels who manifest themselves into an army of 200M horsemen.
The 1/4 of the earth they are given is all the dry ground the planet has as no people live on the oceans.
Re:6:9:
And when he had opened the fifth seal,
I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God,
and for the testimony which they held:
Re:6:10:
And they cried with a loud voice,
saying,
How long,
O Lord,
holy and true,
dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
Re:6:11:
And white robes were given unto every one of them;
and it was said unto them,
that they should rest yet for a little season,
until their fellowservants also and their brethren,
that should be killed as they were,
should be fulfilled.
The people mentioned are the ones in the Bible that died because of the work they were doing for God. The last two that will die as a result of that is the two witnesses of re:11 and they die 3 1/2 days before the time given to Satan and the Beast is up.
Re:6:12:
And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal,
and,
lo,
there was a great earthquake;
and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair,
and the moon became as blood;
Re:6:13:
And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth,
even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs,
when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
Re:6:14:
And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together;
and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
Re:6:15:
And the kings of the earth,
and the great men,
and the rich men,
and the chief captains,
and the mighty men,
and every bondman,
and every free man,
hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
Re:6:16:
And said to the mountains and rocks,
Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne,
and from the wrath of the Lamb:
Re:6:17:
For the great day of his wrath is come;
and who shall be able to stand?
These verses are about the 7 vials that are all released within a few hours of the 7th trump sounding in Re:11. The 7th trumps stops the wrath or there would be no survivors on the whole planet. The 1/2 hours is the transition between the vials and the resurrection of all the people in the list given in Re:20:4.
This is a summation rather than being the whole explanation as that would include the trumps as well.
I don't have it written down who owes me, so do not worry your little, little heads off. OK?
