Shalom,
^ Last time and this time and several other times I'm going to deal with the woe-cries. Text sections where they appear, are marked at the beginning with the letters W and/or w (cf. also 14_Compilation).
Prayer of them who seek God's workmanship/poem/handiwork for their lives {Eph. 2:10 (3c§12)}, Bert
6S,1W: In the time of the greater tribulation, the nation of Israel is being prepared to come to faith as a whole. First, the Holy Spirit will fill only a part of the people of Israel. Through the two witnesses 144,000 Israelis will receive Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour.
These 144,000 can be found in the Book of Revelation, when you notice the signs of the times. The First World War / first woe ended in a very strange way. The peace treaty was signed on 11/11/1918 at 11 a.m. (cf. Matt. 16:3), Rev. 7:1-3, <After this I saw four angels/messengers standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back its four winds so that no wind would blow on land or sea or on any tree. 2. And I saw another angel/messenger ascending from the east, with the seal of the living God. And he called out in a loud voice to the four angels/messengers who had been given power to harm the land and the sea: 3. “Do not harm the land or sea or trees until we have sealed the foreheads of the servants of our God.”>
¤ The New Testament talks about the eleventh-hour workers. They got the same salary as the ones who had been hired first, the Christians. The 144,000 Israelites can be compared to them (cf. Mat. 20:9)!
They had to be protected with a seal for their future spiritual work. 12,000 from twelve tribes (Rev. 7:4-8).
¤ They are God's 11th hour spiritual workers, men and women. The first of them had just been born. And God knew who would still be born (cf. Rev. 13:8b).
For their sake He had commanded these angels to hold back the four winds of the world, as wind is the spiritual symbol of spiritual and physical warfare.
