Revelation 14:6,7
And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, [7] Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.

There are seven beatitude blessings in Revelation. The fourth blessing is written to churches to advise those who belong to them to make themselves ready for the day when they meet the head of each local church face to face. Each church member weaves his own outer garment by the degree of glory God receives by his or her service in one of his Son’s churches.

I have a lot of questions to ask you on this subject? And you are the one who I am asking to supply the answers? I am not going to supply the answers, but I do believe you should ask yourself these questions, because there are going to be a lot of things that go on in your future eternal life in another place, and those who are wise do make themselves ready for it by the power of Christ in them.

Revelation 19:7-9
Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. [8] And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. [9] And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.

So where has his saved wife “made herself ready” by giving him glory in this present life?

Ephesians 3:21
Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

I John 3:2
Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
Have you ever considered the possibility that the degree of glory manifested in your new glorified body might be directly proportional to the degree of glory received by God by Christ Jesus in the local church?

I Corinthians 15:38-41
But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body. [39] All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds. [40] There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. [41] There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory. [42] So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:

Did you ever consider the possibility that some glorified bodies at the first resurrection might shine in differing degrees of glory, depending on the degree of submission to the Spirit they exhibited as God’s children.

Daniel 12:3
And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.

Is it possible that as God’s children walk their walk in one of his local churches, as they hear and apply his word to their walk by his power, he is washing their outer garment by the power of his word? Could this be the process by which “they that be wise” became wise in believing and applying his word to their lives? Could these be the wise people whose lives turned many to the righteousness of the Lord they saw in them?

Ephesians 5:25-27,30
Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; [26] That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, [27] That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. [30] For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.

Ephesians 2:22
In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

Revelation 14:6,7
And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, [7] Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.

I Corinthians 3:9-15
For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building. [10] According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. [11] For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. [12] Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; [13] Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is. [14] If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. [15] If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by (dia – through) fire.

Such an individual will remain in heaven eternally, but I hardly expect him to be attired in the outer garment of works he lost in the fire. The time of judgment for gain or loss for the saved is found in Revelation 11:18, which follows the sounding of the last trump in a series of 7 in Revelation 11:15. The mystery of God in I Corinthians 15:51 at the last trump is the same mystery of God in Revelation 10:7 that will be finished when the seventh angel sounds the last trump in Revelation 11:15. The mystery is finished when there is time no longer in the age of the Gentiles – when all the saved of all the ages are finally found together in heaven with souls covered by glorified bodies, and the kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord.

Revelation 10:6
And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer: [7] But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.

I Corinthians 15:51,52
Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, [52] In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

Revelation 11:15 – And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.

Revelation 11:18 – And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.

I Thessalonians 5:9
For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

Revelation 16:1
And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.

Galatians 6:7-9
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. [8] For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. [9] And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

Revelation 3:3,4
Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee. [4] Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.

Revelation 14:6,7
And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, [7] Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.

There are seven beatitude blessings in Revelation. The third blessing is obtained by a vigilant effort on the part of church members to live a Bible directed life that will cause them to be rewarded with glorious outer apparel in heaven.

Believers now live in a temporary house, tabernacle, or temple. The house, tabernacle, or temple body they will occupy in heaven will manifest the degree to which they glorified God in this life, and the attire they are given to wear will eternally manifest their degree of faithfulness for all eternity.

I Corinthians 6:19,20
What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? [20] For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.
The Greek word translated “accepted” in the following verses means “well pleasing.”

Seafloor oil shafts break in Tribulation Period

I did not even think of it when I wrote Tectonic

Chaos, Tribulation Triad, and Birth Pang Books

But the current Gulf fiasco now has my Attention

So the Great Tribulation is worse than I Thought!

THERE WERE APPROXIMATELY 8,300 FIXED OR FLOATING OFFSHORE PLATFORMS WORLDWIDE IN 1999.

DO YOU THINK THEY CAN SURVIVE THE FOLLOWING SCRIPTURES?

Isaiah 29:6
Thou shalt be visited of the Lord of hosts with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire.

Luke 21:25-27
And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; [26] Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. [27] And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

THE FIRST EARTHQUAKE IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION

Revelation 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.

THE LAST EARTHQUAKE IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION

Revelation 16:20
And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.

During the Tribulation period, when oil concentration clumps are heavy enough to sink and make contact with magma along the world’s tectonic plate boundaries, or when the magma rises in volcanoes high enough to reach the oil level in the upper ocean waters, the oil will explode and burn, leaving on the surface a rusty red maize.

THE FOLLOWING IS WHAT I WROTE ABOUT THE EFFECT OF VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS ON LAND AND SEA DURING THE LAST THREE AND ONE-HALF YEARS BEFORE ARMAGEDDON. I BELIEVE WHAT I WROTE WILL HAPPEN AS I INDICATED, BUT I DID NOT CONSIDER THE EFFECT OF TECTONIC PLATE SHIFTING ON THE OCEAN FLOOR OIL WELLS, WHICH WILL KILL MORE AQUATIC LIFE THAN HEMATITE OXIDATION AND DINOFLAGELLATE, PLUS TURN MORE SEA SURFACE WATERS A RUSTY RED COLOR.

BEGIN QUOTE OF WHAT I WROTE IN THE SEVENTIES

Please take a look in our Birth Pang Figures found in our Archives for the several Figures referenced in this and other chapters in this updated 1977 book. Figure 3 shows the world’s tectonic plates. Figures 4 to 8 also apply to this chapter.

Revelation 8:7
The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.

Revelation 8:7 does not mix frozen hailstones with fire. It mixes large volcanic bombs (hail) and fiery blood-red lava. I believe what John witnessed was a worldwide pattern of volcanic eruptions around the edges of the tectonic plates. This verse is a perfect description of a chain of volcanic eruptions. As the volcanic bombs (hail) are thrown great distances from the caldera vents, fires are started, and as the fiery lava moves across the surface of the earth it burns up everything in its path. I challenge you to view films of an actual eruption and then not believe this is what John saw in his vision from God. (See Archives – Birth Pang 3)

Revelation 8:8,9
And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood; [9] And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.

A fuller, more descriptive, rendering of part of this verse from “The Bible in Basic English,” Dutton, 1950, Cambridge Press, is as follows: “It was as if a great mountain burning with fire had been cast into the sea.” Again, I believe the great fiery mountain that suddenly appeared in the sea would naturally have been assumed to come from above to the one abruptly seeing it there (See Archives – Birth Pang 4). This was the first of thousands that will be rapidly appearing along the plate borders of the tectonic plates, building up from the ocean sea floors to break the sea surface. The resultant action of rapid heating of the ocean above these volcanic vents will discolor one-third of the sea water into a murky rusty-red maze of aquatic death by the smothering effect of the basaltic hematite oxidation, and generate an ocean wide population explosion of dinoflagellate, which will produce the deadly red tide. (See Archives – Birth Pang 4)

The earthquakes and volcanic eruptions on the ocean and sea floors will produce the collapse and/or rise of segments of the ocean sea floor, and some massive sliding of parts of the coastal land mass into the oceans. And these actions will produce hundreds of Tsunami waves along those coastal areas of the world that have an abruptly rising coastline. (See Archives – Birth Pang 5) Furthermore, I assure you when the massive shifting of the tectonic plates begins, then this seismic wave action would destroy any ships in port. At any given time about two-thirds of the world’s shipping is under way on the open sea, and one-third is in port. The one third in port will be utterly destroyed by gigantic Tsunami waves like the coastal residents of the world have never seen.

Luke 21:25
And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;

It never once crossed my mind as to the effect thousands of miles of tectonic plate boundaries would have on high concentrations of oil blobs carried over them by the currents of the oceans and seas of the world. I simply did not even think about the effects the rupture of the oil lines would produce, but believe me I am now in the process of considering it.

If they do not stop the leak soon it is possible high concentrations of blobs of tar-like oil could make contact with the magma pushing up out of the tectonic plates on the sea floor in places with temps as high as 1600 Degrees Centigrade. Additionally, there are thousands of submerged sea mount volcanoes across the sea floors of the world for possible oil blob contacts during the Tribulation Period. I do not expect the current Gulf oil leak to build up sufficient concentrations for this to happen, and it is a long way north of the nearest plate boundary, but I assure you it will happen during the Tribulation Period.

According to a recent report by the U.S. National Research Council (NRC), there were about 8,300 fixed or floating offshore platforms worldwide in 1999. The UNEP Offshore Oil and Gas Environment Forum (OEF) gives these figures: more than 6,500 offshore oil and gas installations worldwide, about 4,000 of which in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, 950 in Asia, 700 in the Middle East and 400 in Europe.

These platforms cannot be made stable enough to prevent the breaking of the lines on the ocean floor during the fantastic worldwide pattern of heavy earthquakes associated with the tectonic plate movements.

The oil which pours out of these ocean floor wells will go through a chemical and burning mixing process which will turn the oceans and seas of the world into a rusty red liquid toxic water surface that looks like blood and kills aquatic ocean life.

The oil releases, hematite oxidation, and dimoflagellate poisons will kill most of the world’s aquatic in the oceans and seas of this planet. And some of its effects will be carried to inland waters by hurricanes, tsunamis, and the hydrological cycle.

Revelation 8:8,9
And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood; [9] And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.

Revelation 14:6,7
And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, [7] Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.

Hebrews 11:36-40
And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment: [37] They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented; [38] (Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth. [39] And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise: [40] God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.

There are many saved, both Old and New Testament, who are still waiting for the first resurrection, and the robes for their labors, on the opening of the sixth seal, but they will have to wait until many of their tribulation brethren are martyred prior to the sounding of the seventh trumpet.

Revelation 6:9-11
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: [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? [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.

Salt is known for its savour, so if it has lost its savor, it is of no value to the one who uses it. Children of God are known by their ability to suffer, but if they have lost that ability to suffer, then they are of no value to the one who uses them, or to the ones who see their lack of faith in the God they profess to believe.

Matthew 5:11-19
Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. [12] Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. [13] Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. [14] Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. [15] Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. [16] Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. [17] Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. [18] For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. [19] Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
