2:6 A Time & Times

Israel’s Time

In Israel’s time the opposing ministries of the Messiah and Satan emerge. Father, Lawgiver, Priest, Judge, King, Prophet and Messiah.

At the end of every seven years in the year of release, in the seventh month, the Levites blew the trumpets to gather Israel to hear the reading of the Law

In the year of release the desolate were to be forgiven their debts and the Hebrew slaves were to be set free and this winked at the Gospel of Jesus Christ

Slaves were marked when they chose to forfeit their call to freedom and remain in bondage and this speaks of rejecting Christ’s word for church creeds

 

Seven Church Times

The Lord uses the seven Churches in Asia to illustrate man’s slide from faith into captivity in each of seven ages from the times of the Apostles, to today

Seven Church Angels at the end of each age declared a message to that generation. Paul preached; one Lord, one Faith, one Baptism in Jesus Christ

Set Free / Believe: In each age a remnant believe the message of the day and are set free, saved. In Luther’s time he preached  the just shall live by faith

Marked/ Unbelief: Those that reject the message of release remain in bondage just as most Lutheran’s failed to hear Wesley’s message of sanctification

 

Seven Seals

Each Church Age will loop through all seven seals in the same way each generation in Israel’s time heard the Law read seven times before their Jubilee

The First 4 seals mirror the pattern of desolation foretold by Joel. The locust armies of the Lord speak of the Churches destruction of the Gospel

The Last 3 seals declare both the restoration of God’s Word and the putting away of Church creeds. Israel’s glorification. The Churches shame
