AFTER THIS
Israel's first millennium, which was the third millennium.
I SAW FOUR ANGELS STANDING AT THE FOUR CORNERS OF THE EARTH HOLDING BACK THE FOUR WINDS OF THE EARTH, SO THAT NO WIND COULD BLOW ON THE EARTH
The four angels, like the four horsemen of chapter 6, are Satan. Four of course is the number of Israel--for her four millennia--and she is called the "synagogue of Satan" (Revelation 2:9;3:9). They are also the four angels of Revelation 9:14,15. The four winds are the Holy Spirit. This speaks of Satan opposing the work of the Holy Spirt on the earth, Israel, at the end of Israel's second millennium, the fourth millennium.
OR ON THE SEA
In the early part of Israel's third millennium, the fifth millennium, up to 70 A.D., Satan is opposing the Holy Spirit's work on the sea, the Gentiles.
OR AGAINST ANY TREE.
At the end of Israel's fourth millennium, the sixth millennium, after 1903 or 1910, Satan is opposing the Holy Spirit's work on the trees, the Jews.
THEN
Israel's first millennium.
I SAW ANOTHER ANGEL ASCENDING FROM THE RISING OF THE SUN,
This angel is Jesus, ascending from His rising as the sun (Malachi 4:2) at His resurrection in 30 A.D., the end of Israel's second millennium.
WITH THE SEAL OF THE LIVING GOD. AND HE CALLED OUT IN A LOUD VOICE
This refers to Israel's third millennium, when the seal of the living God, the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13) indwelt believers. Jesus called out with a loud voice to John on Patmos.
TO THE FOUR ANGELS WHO HAD BEEN GIVEN POWER TO HARM THE EARTH AND THE SEA,
At the end of Israel's fourth millennium, in 1903 or 1910, Satan and the demons are released from hell and given power to harm the earth, Jews, and the sea, Gentiles.
SAYING,
Jesus spoke to Israel in her first millennium.
"DO NOT HARM THE EARTH
At the end of Israel's second millennium, Satan was not allowed to destroy the earth, Israel, though he did blind the eyes of most Jews. He was allowed to destroy Israel early in Israel's third millennium, in 66-70 A.D.
OR THE SEA
Early in Israel's third millennium, in 70 A.D., Satan and the demons were cast into hell so that they could no longer harm and deceive the sea, the Gentiles.
OR THE TREES UNTIL WE HAVE SEALED THE SERVANTS OF OUR GOD ON THEIR FOREHEADS."
At the very end of Israel's fourth millennium, in the first half of the tribulation period, beginning in 2023, Satan will not be allowed to harm the trees, the Jews, until all of God's elect Jews are saved. These are "the oil and the wine" of Revelation 6:6.
AND
The third millennium.
I HEARD
The end of the fourth millennium, when John heard Jesus during His ministry.
THE NUMBER OF THOSE WHO WERE SEALED,
The fifth millennium, when many--mostly Gentiles--were sealed with the Holy Spirit.
ONE HUNDRED FORTY-FOUR THOUSAND, SEALED FROM EVERY TRIBE OF THE SONS OF ISRAEL: FROM THE TRIBE OF JUDAH TWELVE THOUSAND SEALED, FROM THE TRIBE OF REUBEN TWELVE THOUSAND, FROM THE TRIBE OF GAD TWELVE THOUSAND, FROM THE TRIBE OF ASHER TWELVE THOUSAND, FROM THE TRIBE OF NAPHTALI TWELVE THOUSAND, FROM THE TRIBE OF MANASSEH TWELVE THOUSAND, FROM THE TRIBE OF SIMEON TWELVE THOUSAND, FROM THE TRIBE OF LEVI TWELVE THOUSAND, FROM THE TRIBE OF ISSACHAR TWELVE THOUSAND, FROM THE TRIBE OF ZEBULUN TWELVE THOUSAND, FROM THE TRIBE OF JOSEPH TWELVE THOUSAND, FROM THE TRIBE OF BENJAMIN TWELVE THOUSAND SEALED.
The end of the sixth millennium, when God will save a remnant of the Jews. The 144,000 may be a literal number of men 20 and over, as the Israelites were counted in the book of Numbers, since they "have not been defiled with women" (Revelation 14:4). Presumably, a similar number of Jewish women and children will be saved too. Or the number could simply be figurative. Interestingly, the tribe of Dan has been replaced by the tribe of Manasseh. Could this be because the Jewish Antichrist will come from the tribe of Dan?
AFTER THIS
Israel's first millennium.
I LOOKED, AND BEHOLD,
John saw Jesus at the end of Israel's second millennium.
A VAST MULTITUDE THAT NO ONE COULD COUNT, PEOPLE FROM EVERY NATION, TRIBE, CULTURAL GROUP,
Israel's third millennium, thus the first three terms, when a multitude of Gentiles are saved.
AND LANGUAGE, STANDING BEFORE THE THRONE AND BEFORE THE LAMB, DRESSED IN WHITE ROBES, WITH PALM BRANCHES IN THEIR HANDS,
Seven years before the end of Israel's fourth millennium, thus the fourth term, will be the resurrection and rapture. Then God will save a remnant of the Jews, the palm branches.
AND
The third millennium.
THEY CRIED OUT IN A LOUD VOICE, SAYING, "SALVATION BELONGS TO OUR GOD WHO IS SEATED ON THE THRONE AND TO THE LAMB!"
The fourth millennium, at the end of which believers cried out that salvation had come from the Father and the Son.
AND
The fifth millennium.
ALL THE ANGELS WERE STANDING AROUND THE THRONE AND AROUND THE ELDERS AND THE FOUR LIVING CREATURES, AND THEY FELL ON THEIR FACES BEFORE THE THRONE AND WORSHIPED GOD,
At the very end of the sixth millennium, the angels, a figure for Jews--see my commentary on Revelation 5:11, in this case saved Jews from the tribulation period, are worshiping God with all the resurrected and raptured saints.
SAYING,
Israel spoke to God in her first millennium.
"AMEN! PRAISE AND GLORY AND WISDOM AND THANKSGIVING AND HONOR AND POWER AND MIGHT BE TO OUR GOD FOR ALL TIME! AMEN."
Seven-fold worship of God goes up from believers at the end of Israel's second millennium.
THEN ONE OF THE ELDERS ADDRESSED ME, SAYING,
One of the other apostles speaks to John in the early part of Israel's third millennium.
"THESE DRESSED IN WHITE ROBES--WHO ARE THEY AND WHERE DID THEY COME FROM?"
This refers to the resurrected and raptured saints with immortal bodies in heaven for the last 7 years of Israel's fourth millennium.
[AND]
This conjunction is in the Greek text--the third millennium.
I SAID TO HIM, "MY LORD, YOU ARE THE ONE WHO KNOWS."
At the end of the fourth millennium, John is either speaking to another apostle here or to Jesus.
THEN HE SAID TO ME,
At the beginning of the fifth millennium, the other apostle or Jesus speaks to John.
"THESE ARE THE ONES WHO HAVE COME OUT OF THE GREAT TRIBULATION;
In 2023, 7 years before the end of the sixth millennium, all the resurrected and raptured saints will be in heaven. Those raptured will not have to go through the tribulation period.
[AND]
This conjunction is in the Greek text--the third millennium.
THEY HAVE WASHED THEIR ROBES AND MADE THEM WHITE IN THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB,
The fourth millennium, at the end of which comes the crucifixion, washing away the sins of God's elect.
FOR THIS REASON
This can also be translated "therefore." The crucifixion was also the basis for salvation in the fifth millennium.
THEY ARE BEFORE THE THRONE OF GOD,
At the end of the sixth millennium, the crucifixion will be the basis for the resurrected and raptured saints to stand before the throne of God.
AND SERVE HIM
Israel served God in her first millennium.
DAY
Israel's second millennium, when Jesus the sun appeared.
AND NIGHT
Israel's third millennium, when Jesus the sun was gone and the moon, the lesser light, the Holy Spirit, ruled the night.
IN HIS TEMPLE,
Israel's fourth millennium, at the very end of which a fourth temple, appropriately, will rise in Jerusalem, after Solomon's, Zerubbabel's and Herod's. This may be the reference or perhaps it is to the Church.
AND
Third millennium.
THE ONE SEATED ON THE THRONE WILL BE A SHELTER OVER THEM. NO LONGER WILL THEY GO HUNGRY,
At the end of the fourth millennium, Jesus tabernacled with Israel and through His crucifixion became His people's shelter and sustenance.
NEITHER WILL THEY THIRST AGAIN; THE SUN WILL NOT BEAT DOWN UPON THEM,
The fifth millennium, when water, saved Gentiles, will be provided and they themselves did not thirst spiritually. Jesus, the sun, was then gone.
NOR ANY SCORCHING HEAT;
This probably refers to God's living people who are raptured at the start of the tribulation period, which will include a time of scorching heat--see Revelation 16:8,9.
FOR
Israel's first millennium.
THE LAMB AT THE CENTER OF THE THRONE WILL SHEPHERD THEM AND GUIDE THEM
Israel's second millennium, at the end of which the Lamb of God received His kingship through His crucifixion. He shepherded and guided His people at that time.
TO SPRINGS OF LIVING WATER,
Israel's third millennium, during which water, Gentiles, began to live through Christ.
AND GOD WILL WIPE AWAY EVERY TEAR FROM THEIR EYES."
Israel's fourth millennium, at the end of which, God will take away all sorrow from His people.
