Word Title: Jesus Christ, the Only Redeemer and Lord of Judgment
Jesus, the Christ, had already been predestined to appear as the Redeemer in the world before God laid the foundation of the world (Eph. 1:4). God, who had known in advance that men God created shall be born in sins because of the Lucifer that had sinned in heaven before the creation of the world. The Christ was predestined to be the Redeemer through himself being sacrificed for the sins of the chosen people of Israel first.
But the prophet Isaiah foretold in the Holy Spirit that his people would believe him not and reject Jesus, the Christ who shall appeared to the people of Israel:
Isaiah also prophesied that in the future, the last one week(seven years) that God had prepared to give them the final chance that is the seven-year tribulation for them to repent of their sins of unfaith in Christ:
The prophet Jeremiah prophesied that the Israelites would suffer another time in the distant future, when he foretold that the sinful Israelites would be judged and destroyed by Babylon, and then they would be saved. In the Holy Spirit, he testified of the suffering they shall face during the last seven years of the tribulation, and the day they repent and be saved in suffering:
Not only that, but through the prophet Daniel, he testified of the suffering of the Israelites in the Great Tribulation, and the day when the Israelites repent during that time to be saved:
The risen Lord Jesus Christ, who appeared to Apostle John, moved him in the Holy Spirit two thousand years later to show what would happen at the end of the age of church:
Immediately upon hearing this voice, he was lifted up in the spirit to the throne of heaven, to see the throne of God and the glory of God who was sitting down at his throne. He saw God’s appearances as jasper and a sardine stone. He also saw twenty-four elders and four beasts, seraphs. He saw a book in the right hand of the one sitting on the throne. The book was written inside and outside, and it was sealed with seven seals, and Apostle John cried so hard that no one could read it or see it. At this time, one of the elders said to him:
At this time, he was startled. He witnessed of the Lord Jesus Christ standing in the form of the Lamb, who died on the cross and rose again to be the Redeemer of Israel and the world:
At this time, Apostle John heard the praise of the twenty-four elders and ten thousand times and thousands ,and thousands of thousands, of angels around the elders. In a mighty praise, the Lord Jesus Christ, the Lamb, began to open the seven seals. The seven seals was including judgments of wrath against the Jews and all the people of the world who did not believe in the Lamb Jesus Christ, the Redeemer of all the earth. Since only the Lord Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God is the only Redeemer, and there is only the Lord Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God who can deserve judge the people of the world who do not believe in God in the midst of his long suffering. Only he can open it and pour out the wrath unto the world.
Apostle John saw that after he was translated and ascended to heaven, he saw the judgment on the earth from heaven. And the seven seals are to show the judgment in total as outline that would take place during the tribulation in the seven years, and the wrath of trumpets and vials disasters afterwards shows the details of the judgment.
When the Lamb opened the first seal, he beheld a white horse and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him; he was the Antichrist This is a clear indication of when Christians are to be translated. Christians shall see the Antichrist appear on the earth in heaven. Comparing to Apostle Paul’s testimony of the appearing of the Antichrist, we can be more surely aware of it:
It is impossible to imagine how miserable the disasters of judgment that are to be poured unto the world under the rule of Antichrist. When the second seal is opened, there shall be no peace in the whole world due to great wars, and when the third seal is opened, great famine shall come, and when the fourth seal is opened, death and hell will follow, and the sword and hunger, And the fourth part of the earth to be killed with sward, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth. When the fifth seal is opened, there shall be souls who have been beheaded for not receiving the mark of the beast. When he opens the sixth seal, there shall be a big earthquake and the sun will turn black like a cloth woven with hair and the moon will become like blood. Also, the stars in the sky will fall to the ground as if the fig tree is shaken by strong winds and the unripe figs will fall, and the heaven shall be rolled up and rolled like a scroll, and all the mountains and islands shall be removed from their places. At this time, the phenomena that occur on the earth are something that we dare not imagine. Because of this judgment of wrath, the kings of the earth, the great, the rich, the captains, the powerful, all the servants, and all the free men, each hiding in the crypts and the rocks of the mountains and saying to the mountains and the rocks, ‘Fall on us , and hide us from the face of him that sitts on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb; for the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?” (Rev. 6:1-17)
By sending the last days of judgment on the earth, God became a Lamb, who died for the sins of both Jews and Gentiles, and rose again is going to give the opportunity to be saved for the Jews and the Gentiles and the carnal Christians who not believed as if he is going to collect a grain after harvest. God has given the opportunity for salvation for the Gentiles because of the unbelief of the Jews.
Apostle Paul has given a very important message for the gentiles of their salvation by the gospel of Christ:
