Saints



Elect and The Saints
 
Who are these saints in Revelation13:7?
 
These are God's Elect. The just, chosen before the foundation of this world age.
 
Revelation13:7 And it was given unto him (Satan) to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
  • The only reason Satan is given power over the saints, that is to say the elect, is so they can be witness against him. (Matthew 24)
8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him (Satan), whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
 
The elect are expected to seek out God's word, His knowledge, Wisdom and Understanding.
 
The elect have the Key of David, that opens doors that no man can shut, they have the seal of God in their forehead, which is the truth in the minds of those with a destiny to serve the Lord.
 
In the last days the elect are going to help God directly in His work. What a glorious time is ahead. His goodness will let the elect (seven thousand that stood against Satan without wavering), being the first fruits, that would suffer for Him in the near future and bring this age into "the millennium" which is the Lord's day. (Roman 11) (Ephesians 1)

The elect are those who took a firm stand against Satan in the first world age that was. In the last days there will be 7,000 out of that remnant that the Father chose as His elect to stand against Satan again. They will prove their right of being God's elect by standing against Satan again, being delivered up and being a witness for Christ's sake.
 
The elect are the widow and shall be the bride of the Lamb. All that wait and know of the wedding feast and marriage to Christ, our husband, shall soon take place. The elect have ears to hear and understand the plan of God.
 
Isaiah 45:4 For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel mine elect, I have even called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known me.

5 I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:
 
Romans 8:27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
 
2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
 
2 Timothy 1:9 Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,

Matthew 22;14 For many are called, but few are chosen.

  • Few shall partake in the soon coming wedding of our Lord.
  • God's Elect
  • God shows the love, importance and responsibly, He places on His chosen.
  • He sent out His servants with invitations to His wedding, but few are chosen
Ezekiel 44:15 But the priests the Levites, the sons of Zadok, that kept the charge of my sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from me, they shall come near to me to minister unto me, and they shall stand before me to offer unto me the fat and the blood, saith the Lord GOD:
  • Good reading Romans 11 and Romans 8
  • Zadok: In Hebrew means sons of the just
  • It is repeated that the son of Zadok, the 7,000 shall minister unto the Lord.
  • We know there will be more than 7,000 that will wait on the Lord.
  • Revelation 7:9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands.
  • He sees this vision after the sealing of the 144,000.
  • Evidently when the 7,000 are delivered up before the synagogue
  • There will also be many Gentiles converted.
  • Their task will be to set up their own nations (all races) throughout the millennium.
  • There will be a place for the multitudes, in the millennium template, with the Lord. Part of the multitude are their people.
  • Who wore the white robes and were before the throne?
  • Revelation 14:13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.
  • Revelation 19:7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
    8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
  • Revelation 16:15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
  • In Revelation 6:11 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.  John, etc...
  • Revelation 11 tells us, Satan will kill the two witnesses three and one half days, before Christ's return here on earth.
1 Peter 3:10 For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:

11 Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.

12 For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.
  • Don't ever forget this verse.
  • If you have a zeal to do good, God's eyes are over you and He hears your prayers.
13 And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?
  • Our Father is watching over those who seek to do good.
  • We should have pity on those who would harm one of God's righteous children.
  • You are under the protection of the most powerful entity in the universe, that is to say your Father.
14 But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;

15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:

16 Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ.

17 For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.

18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
 
Titus 2:11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
  • God's grace and salvation are available to everyone.
  • The will is on your part, do you study His Word?
12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
  • No one is perfect, however, we should all do the best we can, live righteously in the flesh.
13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
  • If you know the anti-christ comes first, you can look forward to the return of  Christ.
  • You won't be sitting in Satan's camp, when Christ returns as King of Kings.
14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
  • God is pleased with those with a zeal to do good.
  • His elect who will not worship anti-christ.
15 These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.
  • With God's strength and a zeal to do good, you the power and authority to help bring God's plan to pass.
Revelation 15:1 And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God.

2 And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.

3 And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.

4 Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest.
 
Why are the nations = people worship before you?
 
Because Christ has return and The Saints, the just waited on the Lord and they are with the Lord
 
Revelation 1:7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
  • It says, ''Every Eye" shall see Him, (The Lord) Even the ones who crucified Him, the ''Kenites'' .
  • The word Kenites means sons of Cain
  • The sons of Cain who have carried the work of Satan down through the years until the present day.
8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
 
Mark 13:27 And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.
 
1 Corinthians 15:51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: (7th trumpet) for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?

56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.

57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
 
Revelation 11:15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
  • 7th Trumpet = Christ Returns, and He gathers His elect

Revelation 19:9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.

10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.

12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.

13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.

14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
 
Revelation 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.

14 And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.
 
Revelation 20:6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
 
Revelation 19:7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.

8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.

9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.
 
Who are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb?
 
Those that wait on the Lord.
 
Matthew 24:24 For there shall arise false christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
 
Matthew 20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.
 
Ephesians 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
  • Or, because you believe in Christ and accept Jesus Christ, God blesses you in all these things.
4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
 
5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
  • He chose you not by the good deeds or the great things you did, but according to His will.
  • Before we go further however, let's clarify one thing.
  • God chose you because you earned the right in that spiritual war in which Satan rebelled against God and a third of God's children followed him.
  • At that time, the elect stood firm and loyalty remained with God.
  • They stood with Michael and earned the right to be the elect, to be the chosen on this earth.
  • You will not understand this epistle unless you totally see that.
  • Romans 8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
  • 30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
  • Justified, or He judged them that were worthy because of their loyalty and the stand with God in the first earth age against Satan.
  • 31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
    We see beyond a shadow of a doubt that this is foreordained or predestined.
Romans 11:2 God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying,

3 Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.
  • Now Elijah had said this in 1 Kings, the 19th chapter.
  • Remember the ten tribes had left Israel at the time, and having left the old temple, they had all turned to idolatry.
  • Now think of our people today.
  • Who are the ten tribes worshipping today?
  • We see the same thing.
  • They don't know whom they're worshipping.
  • Most people, do not know who they are.
  • Some believing the Kenites people are the true sons of Israel, there's 13 tribes not just 1 tribe Judah.
  • We're speaking specifically of Israel here.
  • Verse 4 gives God's answer.
4 But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.
  • This did not happen in Elijah time.
  • Elijah never died, and he shall return, but these seven thousands were specifically set aside and reserved.
  • This speaks directly to the elect Other cannot understand this.
  • This is the seven thousands who know, who the the false christ is, it's Satan.
5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
 
Wisdom 3:8 They shall judge the nations, and have dominion over the people, and their Lord shall reign for ever.

9 They that put their trust in him shall understand the truth: and such as be faithful in love shall abide with him: for grace and mercy is to his saints, and he hath care for his elect.
 
Matthew 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
 
Jude 14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,

15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.

16 These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage.

17 But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
 
1 Corinthians 15:23 But every man in his own order: Christ the first fruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.

24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.

25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
 
Isaiah 45:4 For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel mine elect, I have even called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known me.

5 I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:
