7th Seal Releases 7 Trumpets
7th Seal Releases 7 Trumpets
Preached by Apostle Aje Pelser, Harvester Reformational Church, Cape Town
During a prayer tower meeting, the Lord revealed to us that He is about to sound a new trumpet in the earth. The seals of our spiritual mandate scrolls have been opened. We have waited on the Lord and seen the Lion of Judah conquer, the Lamb has worthily opened the seals that have been locked and released that which was withheld from us. Sometimes, we only think provision was withheld, but the adversary tries to prevent your seals from been opened on the scrolls of your life. Provision flows from understanding that in the volume of the book it is written of us too, to do His will!
Heb 10:7 THEN I SAID, ‘BEHOLD, I HAVE COME— IN THE VOLUME OF THE BOOK IT IS WRITTEN OF ME— TO DO YOUR WILL, O GOD.’ ”
“Volume” is actually – the roll of the book, the little handle or head of the scroll used to unravel the manuscript.” G2777 kephalis pronounced: kef-al-is’
From G2776; properly a knob, that is, (by implication) a roll (by extension from the end of a stick on which the manuscript was rolled): – volume.
Rev 8:1 When He opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.
Rev 8:2 And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and to them were given seven trumpets.
Rev 8:3 Then another angel, having a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.
Rev 8:4 And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, ascended before God from the angel’s hand.
Rev 8:5 Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and threw it to the earth. And there were noises, thunderings, lightnings, and an earthquake.
The Seven Trumpets
Rev 8:6 So the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
The Lord is showing us that the seventh seal has been opened for this move of God. It will release a new frequency in the earth that includes holy convocations, announcement of Jubilee, building, warfare, ascension to new dimensions. “Make your sound in the earth.” As we ascend with God, He gives gifts to men to fulfil the next phase of this move of God in the earth. As we boldly announce the Gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven, God will confirm it with signs and wonders following. We will preach, teach and heal like Jesus and His apostles and infiltrate territories heretofore closed. We will blow the trumpet on dormant seeds of preaching that will sprout and bear much fruit in all categories of growth. Our voice will be heard in this nation and indeed in all the nations of the earth. God has prepared us and brought us to His kingdom for such a time as this. Are you ready?
The trumpet sounds released by the seventh seal for us include:
1. Holy Convocations
When the nation of Israel was moving towards its promised land, trumpets assembled the nation
Exo_19:13 Not a hand shall touch him, but he shall surely be stoned or shot with an arrow; whether man or beast, he shall not live.’ When the trumpet sounds long, they shall come near the mountain.”
Exo_19:16 Then it came to pass on the third day, in the morning, that there were thunderings and lightnings, and a thick cloud on the mountain; and the sound of the trumpet was very loud, so that all the people who were in the camp trembled.
Exo_19:19 And when the blast of the trumpet sounded long and became louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him by voice.
Exo_20:18 Now all the people witnessed the thunderings, the lightning flashes, the sound of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking; and when the people saw it, they trembled and stood afar off.
2. Jubilee: The Trumpet announces the Year of Jubilee
Lev_25:9 Then you shall cause the trumpet of the Jubilee to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month; on the Day of Atonement you shall make the trumpet to sound throughout all your land.
Luk 4:18 “THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS UPON ME, BECAUSE HE HAS ANOINTED ME TO PREACH THE GOSPEL TO THE POOR; HE HAS SENT ME TO HEAL THE BROKENHEARTED, TO PROCLAIM LIBERTY TO THE CAPTIVES AND RECOVERY OF SIGHT TO THE BLIND, TO SET AT LIBERTY THOSE WHO ARE OPPRESSED;
Luk 4:19 TO PROCLAIM THE ACCEPTABLE YEAR OF THE LORD.”
3. Victory in Warfare: Trumpets precede victory
Jos_6:5 It shall come to pass, when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when you hear the sound of the trumpet, that all the people shall shout with a great shout; then the wall of the city will fall down flat. And the people shall go up every man straight before him.”
Jdg_3:27 And it happened, when he arrived, that he blew the trumpet in the mountains of Ephraim, and the children of Israel went down with him from the mountains; and he led them.
Jdg_6:34 But the Spirit of the LORD came upon Gideon; then he blew the trumpet, and the Abiezrites gathered behind him.
Jdg_7:18 When I blow the trumpet, I and all who are with me, then you also blow the trumpets on every side of the whole camp, and say, ‘The sword of the LORD and of Gideon!’ ”
4. Exposure of false trumpets: Rebels also blow their trumpets
2Sa_20:1 And there happened to be there a rebel, whose name was Sheba the son of Bichri, a Benjamite. And he blew a trumpet, and said: “We have no share in David, Nor do we have inheritance in the son of Jesse; Every man to his tents, O Israel!”
2Sa_20:22 Then the woman in her wisdom went to all the people. And they cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri, and threw it out to Joab. Then he blew a trumpet, and they withdrew from the city, every man to his tent. So Joab returned to the king at Jerusalem.
Don’t blow your own trumpet!
Mat_6:2 Therefore, when you do a charitable deed, do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory from men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward.
5. Building: Trumpets assist during building and warfare
Neh_4:18 Every one of the builders had his sword girded at his side as he built. And the one who sounded the trumpet was beside me.
Neh_4:20 Wherever you hear the sound of the trumpet, rally to us there. Our God will fight for us.”
Psa 47:5 God has gone up with a shout, The LORD with the sound of a trumpet.
This speaks of the prophetic voice that is the testimony of Jesus, the spirit of prophecy that trumpets through us as we rise and build, occupy and conuer.
6. Preparation for Jesus’ return: Trumpets accompany the return of our Lord Jesus
Mat_24:31 And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
1Co_15:52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
1Th_4:16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.
7. Call to higher dimensions in Christ: Trumpets call you to a higher dimension of communication with the Lord.
Rev_4:1 After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, “Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this.”
