angels. 7 And the first beast was like a lion. And the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had the face as a man, and the forth beast was like a flying eagle. 8 And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him.

 

Might these examples in Scripture reveal that the 'bow' after a rain which we see while flesh, is but a shadow of that 'bow' which surrounds God's Throne? So this 'bow' example, first given by our Father in the time of Noah, means not only a Promise of how He would keep the earth for us until His Son comes in brightness, but it also relates to God's Eternal Throne and Glory! A Promise within a Promise, one could say.

Gen 9:15   And I will remember My covenant, which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.

16    And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth."

17    And God said unto Noah, "This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between Me and all flesh that is upon the earth."

     Are you ready for that Promise within this 'token' and Promise by our Father, first given here during Noah's day? The following verses from Isaiah 54 are about God's over comers, those who remain 'barren' and without child, remaining a 'chaste virgin', when 'a spurious messiah' comes playing the role of Christ. These are those of Rev.7 who were not deceived into worshipping the false messiah (Satan, i.e. Antichrist).

Isa 54:7   "For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee.

     This 'small moment' is the 'short work' of...

 

 Romans 9:28: For he will finish the work; and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make on the earth.

 

The five months of...

 

Rev 9: Read All. And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. 4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt... but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads. 5 And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion when he striketh a man.

 

This refers to the 'one hour' of the last workers, or the labourers in the vineyard parable, the 'one hour' the ten kings’ rule with the beast.

 

Matt.20: Read All. The labourers in the vineyard parable. 16 So the last shall be first. And the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.

 

Rev 17:12: And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.

 

These are all symbols for Satan's tribulation period of five months (Rev.9). This reveals also, that everyone will go through this tribulation period.
