Heaven Awaits

Isaiah sees an awesome and terrible sight.

-

After the first 5 seals are completed, in the Book of Revelation, the 6th seal opens.

Isaiah sees the 6th seal in great detail, adding information to what is stated in Revelation 6.

I always find it fascinating that the Bible confirms, and explains, itself.

The 6^th seal is a very visible, and loud, set of events.

Once it occurs, there is no way to deny it.

Notice how Isaiah and Revelation describe the same scenario.

–

3 components are mentioned: fear, pit, and snare.

Isa 24:17 Fear, and the pit, and the snare, [are] upon thee, O inhabitant of the earth.

The “noise of the fear” is mentioned. What kind of noise will there be that creates a fear?

We see that the noise comes from the window of heaven being opened up, and the foundations of the earth are shaking.

This is not a local event. This is a global event.

How does the “window of heaven” open? What causes it?

If the foundations of the earth are shaking, this means shifting of the earth’s tectonic plates – all of them!

People run to a pit to hide, which, in the end, will be a trap, or snare, to them.

Isa 24:18 And it shall come to pass, [that] he who flees from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for the windows from on high are open, and the foundations of the earth do shake.

The pit is a place to flee to, if he does not fall into it first.

Man is also free to come back up out of it, to see what is going on. But when he comes out, he is snared.

There is no safe place for him.

The snare is a trap, a calamity. They run there for safety, but it becomes a dungeon to them.

Where do they run? To a pit, a hole in the ground, if they can find one.

The noise they hear comes from the heavens rolling back as a scroll, opening up the heavens, and every land mass shakes at the presence of God, creating a loud noise.

Rev 6:14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.

-

There is no place to hide. No place is safe.

The earth is completely broken.

The entire planet will reel to and fro on its axis, like a drunkard.
