The Shout
The Beginning of the End
STOP and PRAY, Jesus said, “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. However, when He, the Spirit of Truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come." John 16:13
Please ask the Holy Spirit now for this.
Shout #1 will take the world by Storm.
It will be a wake-up call and God’s gracious last offer of Salvation.
This Shout is Linked to the Hand of Jesus and a Heavenly scroll from the Father. Revelation 5:1-14
This Shout will be the "starting gun" that signals the start of the Last 7 years of this world's age.
This last 7 years is popularly called "The Great Tribulation" but biblically refered to as: "Daniel’s 70th Week".
WHAT IS THE FIRST SHOUT?
Revelation 5:13
“And every created thing which is in HEAVEN and ON THE EARTH and UNDER THE EARTH and ON THE SEA, and all things IN THEM, I heard saying,
“To Him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb, be blessing and honor and glory and dominion forever and ever.”
The Apostle John is standing in Heaven before God's Throne. He has been called up to see God's "End of the Age" plan of events. The Father holds up the Scroll which only Jesus is worthy to take and open. When Jesus takes the scroll all Heaven breaks loose in Praise. But the Praise does not stay in Heaven, it pours down onto the earth. All of God’s Creation will join in with the SHOUT. (You will be a part of this! You too will Shout!)
See Revelation chapters 4 and 5.
Every created thing and every person of God’s creation will SHOUT and give Glory and Honor and Praise to God and to Jesus Christ His Son, the Lamb of God.
The Apostle Paul seems to see this day when he writes to the Church at Philippi.
"...so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow,
of those who are in heaven and on earth
and under the earth,
and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father." Philippians 2:10
Notice the same order from Heaven to earth to under the earth. And note that Paul sees "every tongue confessing." No exceptions, all creation, including all men, women, devils, angels must bow the knee and give God the Glory.
BUT WHEN WILL THIS HAPPEN???
*The Old Testament Prophets also foresaw this 'End of days' Event. See all of Psalms 96* and Psalm 98. Also Isaiah 42:10-17; Isaiah 44:23; Isaiah 45:22-25, Isaiah 55:12, 1 Chronicles 16:31-33, Psalm 145:7-10, Psalm 69:34-36 and others....
“Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice;
Let the sea roar, and all it contains;
Let the field exult, and all that is in it.
Then all the trees of the forest will sing for joy
Before the Lord, for He is coming,
For He is coming to judge the earth.
He will judge the world in righteousness
And the peoples in His faithfulness.”
*Ps 96:11-13
The Shout will happen to prepare the World for the return of Jesus
at the
END OF THIS AGE
Worship is ascribing WORTH. As we shout His Praise, God is rightly glorified. This does not mean that all are made “right” before God. But as every man, women and child shouts out His praise, they are being given a golden chance to REPENT of their sins and receive the “LAMB” Jesus Christ as their Savior and King.
The Shout is God's gracious gift to a dying world.
*SPOILER ALERT*
After Creation's "Shout" is done we hear further shouts like thunder coming from heaven.
With the breaking of each of the first six Seals come 6 more “SHOUTS” -but not like this first one.
As Jesus opens the first Four Seals the FOUR LIVING CREATURES each Shout. See Rev 6:1,3,5,7 - Seals #1-2-3-4
The 6th Shout comes up from the Martyred Saints under the Altar in Heaven. Rev 6:10 - Seal #5
The 7th Shout comes from God Himself as He calls His Saints UP in the Rapture. - Seal #6 - the sky opens up and all nations see Jesus coming down!
”For we say this to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who remain, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord.” 1 Thessalonians 4:15-1
Don't Miss What Happens Next
Immediately after the Creation's SHOUT, the first Shout, Jesus begins to OPEN THE Seals of the SCROLL which He has just received. He does this one Seal at a time. It is only after the seventh seal is opened that the scroll can be unrolled and the Wrath of God begun.
The Seals are the events that
"must take place" first.
The timing for the opening of each successive Seal is in God's hands but may likely be in yearly increments*.
*Except for Seals #6 and 7 opened on the same day at the end of Year #6. Seal #6 is the Rapture and Seal #7 introduces God's Wrath. There is no delay between these two events. "On the day Noah entered the Ark the Floods broke out." (Luke 17:22–27, cf. The flood happened “on that very day Noah entered the ark” (Gen 7:13) Jesus also gave this comparison: "On the same day Lot leaves Sodom the Fire falls." (see Luke 17:28–35) Jesus is illustrating that the day the church is taken up the wrath of God begins.
