*sitting on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:*

*17 because the great :day of their :wrath is come:*

kai tis DUna-tai staTH*E*nai [3476]?

*and who can stand?*



 *NOTE**: *There are 7 seal, 7 trumps and 7 vials - 21 judgments altogether
listed in the book of Revelation, over against the 10 plagues against
Pharaoh in the book of Exodus. These 21 Revelation plagues are not
overlapping, but separate according to the insight God gave to Daniel
Juster. When one looks at the 7-fold key of the plagues on Pharaoh and the
Exodus, this makes a great deal of sense, and greatly simplifies the many
confusing theories that surround the interpretation of this last book of the
Bible. See the note again under chapter 4 of Revelation to review these 7
insights.


 Notice again, that just as Israel in Goshen shared the first few plagues
with the Egyptians, so the church of the One New Man, Jew and Gentile, will
share the first of these 21 judgments. But just as Goshen was a haven for
Israel in the days of the Exodus, so “little Goshens” will be prepared for
these end times to protect the true church from these later judgments and
the wrath of God and the Lamb.


 The first 4 seals releasing the 4 horses are serious indeed. Meditate on
6:9-11 and the fifth seal. The Holy Spirit, our Teacher, will be pleased to
open the significance of this seal to us.


 The church is *not* appointed to the wrath of God and of the Lamb.
Tribulation? Yes - but that in *no wise* compares with God's wrath. It is at
this time the the little Goshens will do for us what Goshen did for Israel
when in Egypt.


 Isn't it interesting that the last book of the Bible is the *only one* that
promises us a blessing for reading it! The book of Daniel in the OT is very
similar to this NT book. John, the beloved disciple of Jesus, has written 5
of the NT books. The Gospel of John is remarkable and different from the
first 3 Synoptic Gospels. And his 3 letters that follow the two of Peter,
are a *great* blessing. But the book of Revelation, given by Jesus through
His angel to John, and recorded by him, is the most remarkable book of the
entire Bible. Let us take the exhortation of the first few verses, and
regularly read it and meditate upon it. We will miss much if we fail to
obtain and listen to the remarkable insights given on this book to Daniel
Juster. J.A.W.
