EVENTS DELAYING THE BLOWING OF THE
"SEVENTH TRUMPET" THAT HERALDS THE
SOVEREIGN RULE OF ALMIGHTY GOD.

When the apostle John was about to write down what the "seven thunders" spoke with reference to the "Little Scroll", a voice out of heaven instructed John to seal them up and not write them down. (Rev 10:3,4). But while in relation to the sacred secret of the "good news" being brought to a finish the NEB, NWT and Moffatt translations of Revelation 10:6,7 say there will be "no more delay", the word "delay" is not strictly accurate. The Greek Interlinear Translation reads: "that time not yet will be", which means heavenly knowledge of the "Little Scroll" was to be sealed up until a future appointed time.

In fulfilment of the "hidden purpose" of God to bring to an end the opportunity for salvation through the "good news" of faith in The Christ, this "Little Scroll" is now open (unsealed) and revealed. (10:6,7 NEB) (See NWT). Included in the "Little Scroll" is knowledge of what Jehovah has "promised to His servants the prophets" after the "seventh trumpet" of God is actually blown. (10:7-11 NEB). Poured out from the seventh "bowl" there will be the retribution and anger of God upon Godless ones at the commencement of His everlasting Rule, but recompense to His servants the prophets, to His dedicated people, and all those fearing His Holy Name. (Rev 11:15 18 NWT. See NEB. Rev 16:17,18).

The words that the "seven thunders" spoke described what was to be revealed prior to the commencement of the Rule of God, including events that would test and prove the last remaining anointed covenant members being gathered into the Kingdom of God. (10:4. 2:10). Regarding the response of faithful anointed sons of God to the apostate "trampling" of them, the testing of them began in 1975 and lasted for "forty-two months". (11:2,3). Amongst this "wheat" class were revealed apostate "weed"-like persons willing to "trample" on them in Christ's congregations. This period is included in the "sounding" before the "blowing" of the seventh angel's "trumpet" to herald the commencement of the Rule of God (the events of Revelation 11:1-14 having already been fulfilled).

The Spirit of the anger of God upon satan "the commander of the spiritual powers of the air,* the spirit now at work among God's rebel subjects" will vanquish enraged nations. (Eph 2:2 & 6:12 NEB) (Rev 16:17 & 11:18). Those whose spirits have been trained in satanic rebellion and are spiritually unclean for having allowed evil spirits to reside within them to inspire their defiance, are enemies of God and His people. Demon spirits that previously had inhabited these Godless ones will be removed by the anger of God "upon the air"* (upon the evil spirit rulers of this "darkness") and abyssed by The Christ Michael. Those formerly under the influence of demon spirits will be left with their evil spirit dispositions, but without the power of their influence.

THE "HARVEST". (Matt 13:24-30 & 36-43).
The enemy satan has sown his evil human "seed" among the "fine seed" of sons of the Kingdom of God. We must wait until both are full-grown. The Christ Michael will then send forth his angels to collect together the evil "weeds" that are "doing lawlessness" and "that cause stumbling" and will pitch them into the "fiery furnace". The angels will then gather full-grown "wheat"-like ones into the heavenly "storehouse" of God. The Spirit of the Lord's Judgement, and the reaction of each person to the bitter "Little Scroll", will reveal to these angels who the "wheat"-like ones are. (Rev 3:10).
