vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the
water thereof was dried up…
Revelation 9:14-16 the sixth angel sounded.
Loose the four angels which are bound in the

thousand. [200 million]

10. “Spiritual horses, spiritual devils, chargers, that
had been bound in Euphrates all these years,
supernatural devils.
Loosed upon what? Not upon the
denominations, upon the Bride.
They're supernatural devils unseen to the eye,
but you can see what they're doing… smothering
out, tramping out everything that's called God.”
The Feast Of The Trumpets (64-0719M)

11. By the rivers of Babylon…
In the midst of a kingdom that
ruled the Earth
In the midst of an oasis, and an
ancient man-made wonder
Israel wept for a dream, now
lost, but not forgotten
11

12. Israel didn‟t know
it, but God began
to move…
Daniel 10:13…
But the prince of
the kingdom of
Persia withstood
me one and
twenty days: but,
lo, Michael, one
of the chief
princes, came to
help me
12

13. For twenty one days the angels fought:
Daniel kept praying and waiting for an
answer
He kept waiting for the seals to be
loosed and the book to open
He kept waiting for the revelation that
had been kept a mystery – when would
Israel be free??

14. For twenty one days the angels fought:
Israel wept
Israel Prayed
Jeremiah and his people cried out to
return to Zion, to the fields their father
David bought & that Jeremiah had
bought BEFORE they went in to
captivity… Jeremiah 32:6-15

15. Take these
evidences, this
evidence of
the purchase,
both which is
sealed, and
this evidence
which is open;
and put them
in an earthen
vessel, that
they may
continue many
days.
Jer 32:14

16. The Sealed Book - Scroll
Jeremiah was a TYPE of Christ: After
captivity in Babylon, he reclaims His purchased
possession…
With the taking of the scroll, Christ has been
committed the lordship over the world (1 Peter
3:22; Philippians 2:9-11). What the Devil
pretentiously offered to Jesus is now rightfully
assumed (Matthew 4:8).
The scroll and the finalization of the redemptive
process would thus signify the rightful transfer of
dominion back to Christ – “the kingdoms of this
world are become the kingdoms of our Lord…”
(Revelation 11:15). 16

17. The Kinsman Redeemer
This roll is a legal document after the ancient form and
custom (See Jeremiah 32:6-15). Jesus has the part of
the near kinsman (Leviticus 25:49) and ours is the part of
the one having lost his inheritance.
The Redeemer must be both worthy, willing and able to
loose the seals, reveal the contents, clear the title and
restore the inheritance to its lawful heirs.
Jesus is qualified and competent. He is willing (“I lay my
life down…”) He is worthy because He is the sinless
Lamb once slain. He is able being the Lion of Judah.
(Revelation4:9-10)
Thus this whole scene in Revelation 5 is a scene of
Jesus fulfilling the part of Kinsman Redeemer.

18. The Final Redemptive Act
The ceremony is a solemn and formal occasion
that consummates the right of redemption. It is
performed before the elders of Israel‟s twelve
tribes and the elders of Christendom‟s twelve
Apostles.
We MUST visualize this scene, this final scene
in Heaven:

19. The Final Redemptive Act
The ceremony is a solemn and formal occasion that
consummates the right of redemption. It is performed
before the elders of Israel‟s twelve tribes and the
elders of Christendom‟s twelve Apostles.
We
MUST
visualize
this scene,
this final
scene in
Heaven:

21. Revelation 4 - I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne
was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne. 3And
he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a
sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about
the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.
4And round about the throne were four and twenty
seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty
elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had
on their heads crowns of gold.
5And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and
thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps
of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven
Spirits of God.

22. Revelation 4 - 6And before the throne there was a
sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the
throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts
full of eyes before and behind.
7And the first beast was like a lion, and the second
beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a
man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle.
8And the four beasts had each of them six wings
about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they
rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy,
LORD God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to
come.

23. Revelation 5 - 1And I saw in the right hand of him
that sat on the throne a book written within and on
the backside, sealed with seven seals.
2And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud
voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to
loose the seals thereof?
3And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under
the earth, was able to open the book, neither to
look thereon.
4And I wept much, because no man was found
worthy to open and to read the book, neither to
look thereon.

24. 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.

25. Revelation 5 - 6And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst
of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the
midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been
slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are
the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the
earth.
7And he came and took the book out of the right
hand of him that sat upon the throne.
8And when he had taken the book, the four
beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before
the Lamb...

26. The Final Redemptive Act
Without a worthy Kinsman Redeemer to perform the
final act, all was lost…
And all heaven wept…
The LAMB left
the mercy seat,
stood, and
loosed the seals!!
