Revelation 8:3-5 Comment: Chapter 8 begins with 30 minutes of silence in heaven! Now there are women in heaven what this is referring to is a listening time for the prayers of the Saints both men and women to be confirmed! At this point in the Tribulation period Jesus is no longer interceding for the Saints on earth but taking their prayers and confirming them with the will of God to execute judgment on the earth! At this point Jesus role is changed from Savior to Judge! Notice the unity of the prayers of the Saints in heaven and on earth! These prayers are not about saving poor uncle charley down here on earth! These are prayers for judgment to fall on the earth and revenge the persecutors of the Saints! The prayers of the Saints at this time are input to Christ to release judgments into the earth! Their prayers are affirmed by the heavenly incense which God has provided shows he is in agreement with the cries of the Saints! At this point the door of mercy has been closed! Have you closed the door of mercy on your life? Jesus is knocking and wants to open the door for you! When physical death comes to us as it will for everyone the next second you will appear before the Throne of Christ! You will appear either to a Savior or a Judge! What you did with Christ while still living on this earth will determine your outcome! Joined with Christ forever or separated from him forever? The choice is yours to make! You determine your place in eternity by your own choice! Heaven or Hell? It is that simple! My prayer is that while there is still time you will turn your life over to Jesus Christ and surrender to his mercy! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
