Revelation 4:1 to 11 OPEN DOOR, WHO THE 24 ELDERS ARE, WHAT HEAVEN’S LIKE, and WHO LUCIFER REALLY IS: Robert Breaker

Insights

The Rapture and Heavenly Descriptions

🎺 The Rapture involves a trumpet sound and the dead in Christ rising first, followed by the living believers being caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.

πŸ’‘ The concept of the Rapture, where believers receive glorified bodies and reign with Jesus, is a mystery revealed to Paul and is essential for rightly dividing the word of Truth.

πŸ“£ Jesus will call your name at the Rapture, just like he called Samuel in the Old Testament.

🌍 The idea of a pre-tribulation rapture is supported, as it allows believers to rule with Jesus on Earth in their natural bodies rather than enduring the tribulation and then being transformed into glorified bodies.

🌈 The scene in heaven after the Rapture is described as wild and filled with intriguing elements like a throne, a rainbow, and precious stones.

🌩️ The description of Heaven in Revelation 4:1-11 portrays a solemn and awe-inspiring place, with thundering, lightnings, and voices.

πŸ’« The purpose of our existence can be summed up in three words: “Thou Art Worthy” – acknowledging God’s glory, honor, and power as the Creator.

Interpretation of the Book of Revelation

πŸ“š The Book of Revelation has three applications: past (John writing to seven churches), present (about the church age), and future (a great change in chapter four).

πŸšͺ The open door in heaven in Revelation 4:1 symbolizes the Rapture, marking the transition from the church age to future events.

πŸ€” The idea is presented that those who currently hold incorrect beliefs may eventually preach the right thing in a different dispensation, highlighting the potential for evolving understanding and perspectives.

πŸ“š “There are historical records of people preaching the pre-trib Rapture before Darby, debunking the claim that no one believed in it until the 1800s.”

πŸ€” The 24 Elders in Revelation could potentially be a combination of the heads of the 12 tribes of Israel and the 12 apostles, symbolizing the Old Testament and New Testament covenants. The Rapture and Heavenly Descriptions

Summary

TLDR: The key idea of the video is that the Rapture is a future event where believers will be taken out of the world before the tribulation, and understanding biblical references and symbolism in Revelation can provide insight into this event and the purpose of our existence.

  1. πŸ”‘ The open door in heaven symbolizes the Rapture, a future event where Jesus brings the souls of the dead, resurrects their bodies, and catches up believers to meet Him in the air before the tribulation.
  2. 🎺 At the Rapture, there will be a trumpet sound followed by Jesus calling your name, and the speaker discusses the significance of this event and the connection to biblical references.
  3. πŸ”‘ Many people are undermining the belief in the Rapture, but the Bible supports the idea of a pre-tribulation Rapture and believers will be taken out of the world before the Antichrist.
  4. πŸ”‘ The speaker argues for a pre-trib Rapture, emphasizing the importance of understanding the body of Christ as the bride of Christ and questioning the logic of the church taking the mark of the beast, while also discussing the Antichrist’s role, believers ruling with Jesus on Earth, and the events after the Rapture in heaven.
  5. πŸ“– The 24 elders in Revelation 4:1-11 are likely a combination of 12 Old Testament princes and 12 New Testament apostles, serving as witnesses of the Old and New Testament covenants in the millennial kingdom.
  6. πŸ“– The book of Revelation describes the glory of New Jerusalem, the 24 Elders likely represent a combination of Old Testament and New Testament figures, and Heaven is depicted as a solemn place with unexplained phenomena.
  7. πŸ”‘ The speaker discusses the symbolism in Revelation 4, including the appearance of living creatures and the missing cherub, suggesting Jesus as the central figure, while also explaining the identity and fall of Lucifer, and the purpose of our existence to bring glory to God.
  8. 🌌 Our existence is not random, but the result of the Big Bang; prioritize pleasing God over self-gratification to experience eternal bliss in heaven.
