    Study of Re.4:4 Part V (4 0f 7)

    Thunderings

    "And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God."

    Here our approach would be to examine the details that have bearing on the Gospel as proclaimed to which the thundering is a loaded word, and voices associated have bearing on our understanding of the shape of things to come. In the following passage a mighty angel hands over a little book to John, "And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices./ And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not."(Re.10:1-4)

    The earthly ministry of Jesus has been completed. These are not to be written down. So the everlasting gospel originates from the throne of God. It is what we read in this verse, " For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven."(Ps.119:89) John's Gospel also refers to it. In the beginning was the Word and it is he who is qualified as another mighty angel. Setting his foot upon the sea and his other foot on the land is not simple as it sound. His authority over the beast and his anti-christ prefigures here. He roars like a lion, as the lion of Judah. "behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof." The little book open in the passage (Ch.10) therefore establishes the connection between the Lamb and his 'angel'. The little detail of the Spirits of God in the key verse and 'a rainbow upon his head' reinforces this link with this line, 'And there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald."(Re.4:3)

    Re.10:11 "And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings."
