Open Heaven 23 May 2022 TOPIC: The Seven Seals V
Memorise: The great day of the LORD is near, it is near, and
hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the LORD: the mighty man shall
cry there bitterly. Zephaniah 1:14
Bible Reading: Revelations
6:9-11 (KJV)
9. 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 fellow servants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
BIBLE IN YEAR: Job 1:1-22, Job 2:1-13, Job
3:1-26, Job 4:1-21, Job 5:1-27
Open Heaven 23 May 2022 Message
The first four seals
involved human beings destroying each other. All that the inhabitants of the
world at that time would have seen will look man-made -people destroying each
other.

From the fifth seal on, the punishment will be coming directly from heaven.
When the fifth seal was opened, John saw under the altar in heaven, the souls
of Martyrs – saints who were killed for the sake of the gospel.
They were crying for vengeance. This tells us straight away that vengeance
is coming for all those who have died and those who are currently suffering for
the gospel.
If you are one of such saints, take heart; the persecution may be great
now, but please don’t try to avenge yourself so that you do not miss your place
in heaven in the process.
Just keep standing for Christ; the time is coming when your persecutors
will be dealt with if they refuse to repent. Take heart, beloved of the Lord
and be strong.
Now, John records that the martyrs were given white robes and told to hold
on for other Christians on earth who will be martyred too, and then God will
avenge them.
In that time, many people who will realise their error after missing
rapture will be determined to make heaven. It will be very difficult then to be
a Christian because the Christians will not worship the Anti-Christ nor take
his mark.
Now, there are some areas in the world where it is difficult to be a
Christian, but those areas are few; after the rapture however, it will be
difficult to be a Christian everywhere around the world.
The whole world will be against Christians. They will gladly kill any
Christian that refuses to take the mark and the government will back them up.
“And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image
of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the
image of the beast should be killed. And he causeth alll, both small and great,
rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in
their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark,
or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. “Revelation 13:15-17” Do
all you can to avoid missing the rapture.
Open Heaven 23 May 2022 KEY POINT:
Surrender your life totally to Jesus now and commit to a life of holiness
so you do not miss the rapture.

May 2022 HYMN: O WORSHIP THE KING
1. O worship the King,
All glorious above,
O gratefully sing
His power and His love;
Our Shield and Defender,
The Ancient of Days,
Pavilioned in splendour,
And girded with praise.
2. O tell of His might,
O sing of His grace,
Whose robe is the light,
Whose canopy space.
His chariots of wrath
The deep thunder-clouds form,
And dark is His path
On the wings of the storm.
3. Thy bountiful care,
What tongue can recite?
It breathes in the air,
It shines in the light,
It streams from the hills,
It descends to the plain,
And sweetly distils
In the dew and the rain.
4. Frail children of dust,
And feeble as frail;
In Thee do we trust,
Nor find Thee to fail;
Thy mercies, how tender,
How firm to the end,
Our maker, Defender,
Redeemer, and Friend!
5. O measureless Might!
Ineffable Love!
While angels delight
To hymn Thee above,
The humbler creation,
Though feeble their lays,
With true adoration,
Shall lisp to Thy praise.
