Again you have discern what events took place leading up to the destruction of Jerusalem, and what events were prophesied after the desolations of Jerusalem.
For instance Mark 13:7 speaks of things that would happen after the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel.(as spoken in Mark 13:14)
Jesus was reflecting on both long term, and short term events; but like I said the past is a reflection of future events.
The sealing up of something is to close it up from sight.
In Daniel 12:9 Daniel is told "for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end."
Jesus (Word of God) is the light of the world, when the light of the truth left the world, mens minds were darkened from seeing the truth.
But though the world could not see Him(Word of Truth) his disciples could see him, and understand the mysteries hid in God. This was because they had the light dwelling in them.
But the end time mysteries spoken to Daniel, and revealed in Revelation to John would be sealed up and closed till the time of the end.
Jesus(lion and lamb) is shown opening up these sealed up mysteries in Revelation.
Revelation 5:2
And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?
Revelation 5:5
And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: 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.
Revelation 5:9
And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
Revelation 6:1
And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.
Each one of these seals would be opened up in there own time, and be revealed to the Lord's disciples in their own time.
Revelation 10:7 :"But in the days of the voice of the 7th angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he has declared to his servants the prophets."![]()
This makes good sense, because I see a sealing up of the law "among my disciples" too, and he "opened their minds" to understand the scriptures (the words of the book which are sealed). It appears to be speaking of the "revelation of Jesus Christ" even to the mystery of Christ in you" too. Because the servants of the prophets did prophesy of "the grace that was to be brought to you" by the revelation of Jesus Christ (who comes to give us an understanding). Or so something very similiar, as Peter saying, Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
Yes, I did see the division I am not putting them together but getting a feel of the wording between them, I can see the divisions within them. Just as Messiah is cut off (and it speaks of the war desolations) Jesus seems to be affirming (even before he is cut off there).
Thanks bro, and I know I compare strangely in various ways at first to make sure I understand the wording between them (without regard for the division at first). It helps me to get better aquainted to divide it (after) seeing how both ends speak.
Pretty kool how its seven seven seals and the Lamb slain having seven spirits (we were talking about the seven eyes) and these being sent into the earth and how the eyes of our understanding need to be enlightened.
But yeah, he speaks of closing the eyes of your seers (prophets) too. Theres alot just here in that I could have a smorgasboard on.
Kool, I'll stay with this first then and wait on this a bit more to make sure I better understand before moving forward here
Thanks bro
