before the throne, because the 144,000 are always standing behind the Lamb. The second part of the sixth seal (as follows) comprehends the harvest of the Great Multitude; that is, the preview of it having already been completed, but with its actual fulfilment in chapter fourteen.
Rev 7:9-15 After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could count, from every nation and all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, and palm branches were in their hands 10 and they cry out with a loud voice, saying, "Salvation to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb." 11 And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures; and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, 12 saying, "Amen, blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might, be to our God forever and ever. Amen."13 Then one of the elders answered, saying to me, "These who are clothed in the white robes, who are they, and where have they come from?" 14 I said to him, "My lord, you know." And he said to me, "These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.15 "For this reason, they are before the throne of God; and they serve Him day and night in His temple; and He who sits on the throne will spread His tabernacle over them
The Beast-Harlot inquisition leaves all these murdered because of the word of God; because of the testimony regarding the Gospel, even the Great Multitude are the fruits of their ministry, with all of these standing before the throne; singing the new song dedicated to the 144,000. The 144,000 are sealed by God before the first trumpet sounds. The seals are previews indicative of things that will be happening before and even after the first trumpet sounds.
Rev 7:3 saying, "Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees until we have sealed the bond-servants of our God on their foreheads."
Rev 8:7 The first trumpet sounded, and there came hail and fire, mixed with blood, and they were thrown to the earth; and a third of the earth was burned up, and a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up.
But what we almost always miss is what happens before the first trumpet sounds; that is, the symbols of God’s atonement coming, before the plagues begin.
Rev 8:4 And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, went up before God out of the angel's hand.
Prayers indicative of intercession, with atonement going out into the earth.
Rev 8:5 Then the angel took the censer and filled it with the fire of the altar, and threw it to the earth; and there followed peals of thunder and sounds and flashes of lightning and quaking
Num 16:46 Moses said to Aaron, “Take your censer and put in it fire from the altar, and lay incense on it; then bring it quickly to the congregation and make atonement for them, for wrath has gone forth from the LORD, the plague has begun!”
Already we are seeing two new songs, accounting for the victories having taken place, resulting in celebration; even the Seventh trumpet sounding will be indicative of the kingdom of heaven having already been completed.
Rev 10:7 Therefore, in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, then the mystery of God is finished, as He preached to His servants the prophets.
But the victory of the 144,000 accounts for the enemies’ (initial) defeat; that is the Harlot’s false prophet, whose 666 decree went out into the whole earth, indicative of death for anyone preaching any gospel other than Hers; that is, worshiping Her beast, who in turn kills anyone for (not) doing so. This leaves the earth stripped of 144,000 Jewish evangelist, even the great multitude who responded to their ministry are martyrs from all the nations. This leaves earth with Angels in the skies, preaching an eternal Gospel.
Rev 14:6 And I saw another angel flying in midheaven, having an eternal gospel to preach to those who live on the earth, and to every nation and tribe and tongue and people; 7 and he said with a loud voice, "Fear God, and give Him glory, because the hour of His judgment has come; worship Him who made the heaven and the earth and sea and springs of waters." 8 And another angel, a second one, followed, saying, " Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, she who has made all the nations drink of the wine of the passion of her immorality."
This Gospel comprehends the first of two Judgment against the Harlot; revealing that from her very youth, she has always been a deceiver, even the plague upon humanity. With the true Gospel revealed, her beasts and their constituents will loot and burn her cathedrals.
Rev 17:16 "And the ten horns which you saw, and the beast, these will hate the harlot and will make her desolate and naked, and will eat her flesh and will burn her up with fire.
Verses Nine through eleven are comprehending God’s Decree against those who will be taking the mark of the beast, with verse twelve indicative of those who will absolutely resist.
But there is one more song to comprehend. Yet almost all of these things are a matter of understanding a little book: prophecies given to John that are elements of who, what, when, where, why, and how these things take place;
accounting for what will be happening before and after the seventh trumpet sounds.
