(NIV)
Book of Revelation
1
KJV: And after these things I saw
four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of
the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on
any tree.
The “four corners of the earth” are the four directions of north, south, east and west.
The “four winds” mean these angels are up in the air where the winds blow from all four directions. The four angels are the four riders of the airplanes from September 11.
(NIV)
They are held back for the moment because they are in the planning stages for September 11. The four airplanes won’t touch the land or sea or any tree because their targets were the two towers of the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and the targeted White House.
2
KJV: And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
This angel is the bird of prey prophesied about in the book of Isaiah.
Isaiah 46:10-11
[10] Declaring the end from the
beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My
counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:
[11] Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executeth
my counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring
it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it.
The eagle is a “bird of prey.” David will execute His counsel (the Holy Spirit). See Rev. 14:6 – the angel flying with the everlasting gospel.
[6] This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.
David’s sign is Aquarius, which is the “waterbearer.” David is the witness God calls “the water.”

1 John 5:7-8
[7] For there are three that bear record
in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
[8] And there are three that bear witness in earth, the spirit, and the
water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.
3
KJV: Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
“have
sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads” is God’s mark or seal versus
the “mark of the beast” on the foreheads spoken of in chapter 13).

4
KJV: And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.
5
KJV: Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand.
6
KJV: Of the tribe of Aser were
sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nepthalim were sealed twelve thousand.
Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand.
7
KJV: Of the tribe of Simeon were
sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the
tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand.
8
KJV: Of the tribe of Zabulon were
sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of

9
KJV: 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;
The phrase above “which no man could number” is an indicator that the number 144,000 is symbolic. The number represents faithful followers of Jesus Christ, the 12 Apostles multiplied by 12 Fathers of the Tribes of Israel multiplied by 1000 generations.
12 x 12 = 144
144 x 1000 = 144,000
[5] Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
[6] And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
So one generation is about 20 years. 1000 times 20 = 2000 years, which is about the time of Jesus isn’t it?
A generation has traditionally been defined as “the average interval of time between the birth of parents and the birth of their offspring."[1] This places a generation at around 20 years in span and this matches the generations up to and including the Baby Boomers.

White is the color of cleanliness; those that have come clean with the blood of the Lamb, Jesus Christ, and are his faithful followers.
Olive branches are symbolic of peace:
In Western culture, the olive branch, apart from its literal meaning as a branch of an olive tree, symbolizes peace or goodwill.

The outline of this map of the 12 tribes of the Holy Land reminds me of something:

But then again, so does this one:
I know they fit together, but what is He trying to tell us? People multiply!
That is why we are “X” Rated! LOL
My queen bed I had purchased with my inheritance money from my Mother, the elect lady. My ex-husband, Bob, and myself used this bed for love making in the Dyer house – notice the claw at the top and the rope patterns on the sides. “X” marks the spot.
(NIV)
10
KJV: And cried with a loud voice,
saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.
Again, the Lamb is Jesus Christ through which salvation comes.
11
KJV: And all the angels stood round
about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the
throne on their faces, and worshipped God,
12
KJV: Saying, Amen: Blessing, and
glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto
our God for ever and ever. Amen.
(NIV)
13
KJV: And
one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in
white robes? and whence came they?
(NIV)
14
KJV: And I
said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came
out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in
the blood of the Lamb.
They have repented in the name of Jesus Christ and are saved from the tribulation. They are loyal followers of Jesus Christ.
15
KJV:
Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his
temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.
God, our Father, will shelter them.
16
KJV: They
shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on
them, nor any heat.
He will feed them and water them and they will not burn from the mid-day sun. What are we up to now, SPF 60?
17
KJV: For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.
The Lamb is Jesus; he will shepherd them.
Isaiah 55:1-2
1] Ho, every one that thirsteth,
come ye to the waters, and he that
hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money
and without price.
[2] Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your
labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye
that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.

God will wipe away our tears.
