Seventh Generation Now

May the grace and peace of the Almighty rest upon us all my dear brethren. Moving on with the second of the last three part messages of our revelation on the end times, today we shall be looking at a message titled; *THE SEALING OF THE SAINTS*. What is this sealing? Why are some sealed? And who are they who are sealed? Therefore are we told by the apostle in Ephesians 1:1-14 saying "Paul, an apostle of Yahshua HaMessiah by the will of Yahweh, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Messiah Yahshua:
Grace [be] to you, and peace, from Yahweh our Father, and [from] the Saviour Yahshua HaMessiah.
Blessed [be] the Almighty and Father of our Saviour Yahshua HaMessiah, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly [places] in Messiah:
According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Yahshua HaMessiah to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;
Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:
That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Messiah, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; [even] in him:
In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:
That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Messiah.
In whom ye also [trusted], after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory." These are the saints, and thus have come into that dispensation of the fullness of times-for we are in the end times; the time of the end of the reign of darkness. These are the elect, chosen from among them who are called-even as we are told again by the apostle in Romans 8:28-30 saying "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love Yahweh, to them who are the called according to [his] purpose.
For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate [to be] conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified." Thus of the sealing of these ones, we are told in Revelation 7:1-4 saying *"And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.*
And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living Father: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our Father in their foreheads.
And I heard the number of them which were sealed: [and there were] sealed an hundred [and] forty [and] four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel." And in Revelation 14:1-5 saying "And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty [and] four thousand, having his Father’s name written in their foreheads.
And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:
And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred [and] forty [and] four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.
These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, [being] the firstfruits unto Yahweh and to the Lamb.
And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of Yahweh." Of the time of their sealing, we are told just before the great tribulation are they sealed even as Revelation 9 expounds unto us this period of the great tribulation. Therefore are we told by our Messiah in Revelation 3:7-13 saying "And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;
I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.
Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
*Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.*
Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
*Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my Father, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my Father, and the name of the city of my Father, [which is] new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my Father: and [I will write upon him] my new name.*
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches." This is the sealing of the saints to take place before that hour of the great tribulation even as shown unto us in the twelfth verse above-Revelation 3:12. What is the mystery of this sealing of the saints? We are told of the coming of our Messiah in Hebrews 10:5 saying "Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:" Herein do we see two things stated, the one coming into the world, and the body prepared for this one-thus is Yahshua HaMessiah, the tabernacle and the one for whom that tabernacle is-the dweller who came into the world and was manifested among us. Also, in Hebrews 2:6-18 are we again told of this mystery saying "But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him?
Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands:
Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing [that is] not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him.
But we see Yahshua, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of Yahweh should taste death for every man.
For it became him, for whom [are] all things, and by whom [are] all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
*For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified [are] all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,
Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.
And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which Yahweh hath given me.
Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bo***ge.*
For verily he took not on [him the nature of] angels; but he took on [him] the seed of Abraham. Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto [his] brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things [pertaining] to Yahweh, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.
For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted." Therefore, even as our Messiah was manifested in the world and a body chosen for Him, so too are the children of His-whose bodies were held captive by death, from which they are redeemed and sanctified to once more become the holy dwelling for the children and brethren of the Messiah. Thus is the mystery of Revelation 7:1-4 and 14:1-5 in fulfillment of the mystery of godliness even as the apostle tells us in 1Timithy 3:16 saying "And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: Yahweh was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory." These therefore who are the saints, the elect among the called ones are the sons of the Almighty whom the creature awaits for their manifestation so as to be liberated from its bo***ge to corruption and brought into the glorious freedom of the sons of the Abba. For a summation thus far therefore, the devil who is the dragon-the prince of the powers of the air, the God of this world is dethroned and cast unto the earth-2020. Following his fall marks the beginning of the end times scripturized for us as the seven years of plenty and the seven years of famine-thus fourteen years after the fall of HaShatan is the end of the end times. Thus begins he-the devil by the raising of the beast out of the sea, and mid-way into the seven years of abundance, rises the beast out of the earth whose coming is in accordance with Satan in all power and lying signs and wonders in them that perish because they receive not the love for the truth. Thus is the stage set for the arrival of the man of sin-the son of perdition. Three and half years after the coming of this one, is the image of the beast set-which is the abomination of desolation marking the beginning of the great tribulation, and the period in the which the two witnesses of the Abba are set for ministry during those three and half years of the great tribulation which are the first three and half years of the seven years of famine to come.

SHABBAT SHALOM ALEICHEM!
