    Q&A "The wings of the Wind" (2 of 2)

    We seen the wind in action, "And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters." Response to this we read here,"The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were afraid: the depths also were troubled."(Ps.77:16) The word already gone forth so the Red sea parts on divine command as the waters know the one who rides on the wings of the wind. "There is war in heaven" (Re.12:7) and we see it as in the vision Daniel, "and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea."(Dan.7:2-3) God allows man to determine whether he be of light and darkness and it leads to the four beasts step into the world stage. "And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another." Nevertheless they are under judgment and in the vision of St John we have the four winder under restraint. "And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree." (7:1). The angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God" explains the 144,000 are from the left behind church. "Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity." (2 Ti.2:19). They have been rather negligent. But they redeem themselves by stepping into the breach of the tribes of Israel now defunct. Like Seth before them they submit themselves to the great tribulation. The number of martyrs are tagged by the everlasting gospel (12x12x1000) as with other group mentioned in Re.14:1. They also bear the tag,"the servants of our God"( 7:3) Also significant is that John reports the effect of the moving Spirit: "And I heard the number of them which were sealed".c.f "and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear."(Ac.2:33)
