When seals are used in shipping, it is made of a strip of plastic or metal. The Producer places the seal on the load when it's complete. Arriving at the Receiver, the Receiver breaks the seal knowing the load was untampered with. The creator of the shipment records the number of the container and the seal number with documents and pictures. The receiver becomes responsible for the load once they breaks the seal.
In the book of Revelation the seals used that we are looking at begins in Chapter five. Here we see the Yahusha Hamashia as He was crucified receiving the Book from Yahuah. We will see His scars and know it is Him that was born to the Virgin Mary, who made clean Mary Magdalene, who resurrected on the third day after He Sacrificed Himself for our salvation. The Apostle John saw Him having seven horns having seven eyes. In other words, Yahusha Hamashia is seven dimensional. Only He is worthy to receive the book having seven seals. Yahusha received it as the son of man.
The Greek word for seal is sphragis. It is a feminine noun. This is to say the Holy Spirit has something to do with the seals. The names of the seven spirits of the Holy Spirit are feminine nouns and one Deity noun. What people are unsure of is the timing of Yahusha Hamashia receiving the Book. Some see the Church in Heaven at this time because of reasons like the 24 Elders are there. But then there's people on Earth during Antichrist's time that are sealed. Some say the seals are plagues like the trumpet judgments. I see seal six and seven as the resurrection and the Last Trumpet of Yahuah. In the time of Moses was the First Trumpet of Yahuah. Once the Last Trumpet is sounded, then there will be gathering of the Saints in Heaven and the Trumpet Judgements sounded by seven angels. It will be the Holy Spirit that lifts us up to Yahusha Hamashia in what has been called the Rapture.
Sphragis a feminine noun, leads us to the Greek verb phrassō. Phrassō is defined as to fence up. Using this meaning in the light of the Seven Seals, there is a cognitive block on what is in the book Yahuah hands over to Yahusha Hamashia. The Apostle John tells us what happens when the seals are broken but not when they are broken. Because nobody knows when the Rapture will take place, it's likely that it will take place during the unsealing of the book handed to Yahusha.
Phrassō leads us to the Greek feminine noun phrēn. Phrēn has to do with the faculty of perceiving and judging. In other words, the cognitive abilities of our Spirit and Flesh. Yahuah does not want us to prejudge the future. By Yahusha Hamashia having the book, the future will not go in a different direction by perceiving and judging falsely.
And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints. Revelation 5:8
To understand the seals in Revelation 6, we need to look back at Revelation 5. Notice the verse above and compare it to the verse below.
And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the Word of Yahuah, and for the testimony which they held: And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Yahuah holy and true, do you not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? 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. Revelation 6: 9-11
Did you catch that? The dead saints cry out for Yahusha to avenge their untimely deaths. I believe these cry's are the prayers of the saints in chapter 5. To back this up, before Yahusha took the book from Yahuah, nobody on Earth or under the Earth was worthy to open it. In other words, the Resurrection did not happen yet. We see that the sixth Seal is much like the resurrection of Yahusha Hamashia in nature. Seal Six is the Last Trumpet of Yahuah. Seal Seven these saints find rest in heaven. This is when the trumpet judgments the angels perform.
Before the Trumpet Judgements happen, the Saints are sealed. We see this in this verse.
Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads. Revelation 7:3
The Apostle John recognized the 144,000 from 12 Tribes of Israel. When it came to the Great multitude of people, he didn't recognize them. This is seen in this next verse.
And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? And I said unto him, Sir, you know. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Revelation 7:13-14
Today the Church does not recognize the 12 Tribes of Israel like John could. What this is saying is that the 144,000 could be any believer from the spring of year 0030 to the Resurrection of the Church. Let's look at the people John didn't recognize.
Rev 7:17 - For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and Yahuah shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.
Rev 8:1 - And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.
The key here is to know when these verses happen. I see 8:1 happening when the Tribulation Saints first walk into the Throne Room of Yahuah. This is to say 7:17 happens after 8:1 and the Trumpet Judgements are happening while the Tribulation Saints are receiving life in Heaven.
But what about those who are sealed and are still on the Earth when the Trumpet Judgements are happening. Years ago when deer hunting, the hunter was given a seal to tag the deer he shot. He would tag the deer and register the deer with the state. Those who give themselves over to Yahusha Hamashia are tagged also. The old nature becomes dead and they are born again spiritually. It's the Lamb's Book of Life is where the Saint is registered. After the Rapture, it's a new season. No longer it is the Age of Grace, It's the Day of Yahuah. These who are sealed in the Day of Yahuah will be resurrected like that of Lazarus and Yairus' daughter when Yahusha said, Lazarus come outside and Talitha cumi meaning maiden arise.
