Revelation 7

1 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.
2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.
5 Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand.
6 Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nephthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand.
7 Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand.
8 Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.
9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.
11 And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,
12 Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.
13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?
14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.
16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.
17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

7BC - S D A Bible Comentary Vol. 7

lence and sword, nation rose against nation, and the whole world was in confusion (Day-Star, March 14, 1846). {7BC 968.11}

Everything in the world is in an unsettled state. The nations are angry, and great preparations for war are being made. Nation is plotting against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. The great day of God is hasting greatly. But although the nations are mustering their forces for war and bloodshed, the command to the angels is still in force, that they hold the four winds until the servants of God are sealed in their foreheads (The Review and Herald, January 28, 1909). {7BC 968.12}

2-3 (see EGW comment on Revelation 13:16, 17; Revelation 14:9-12). Angels Read the Mark—What is the seal of the living God, which is placed in the foreheads of His people? It is a mark which angels, but not human eyes, can read; for the destroying angel must see this mark of redemption. The intelligent mind has seen the sign of the cross of Calvary in the Lord’s adopted sons and daughters. The sin of the transgression of the law of God is taken away. They have on the wedding garment, and are obedient and faithful to all God’s commands (Letter 126, 1898). {7BC 968.13}

(Exodus 12:7,12,13; Ezekiel 9:4; 20:12,20.) The Signature of God’s Appointment—The Israelites placed over their doors a signature of blood, to show that they were God’s property. So the children of God in this age will bear the signature God has appointed. They will place themselves in harmony with God’s holy law. A mark is placed upon every one of God’s people just as verily as a mark was placed over the doors of the Hebrew dwellings, to preserve the people from the general ruin. God declares, “I gave them my Sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the Lord that sanctify them” (The Review and Herald, February 6, 1900). {7BC 968.14}

(Exodus 31:12-17.) God’s Special Possession—Every soul in our world is the Lord’s property, by creation and by redemption. Each individual soul is on trial for his life. Has he given to God that which belongs to Him? Has he surrendered to God all that is His as His purchased possession? All who cherish the Lord as their portion in this life will be under His control, and will receive the sign, the mark of God, which shows them to be God’s special possession. Christ’s righteousness will go before them, and the glory of the Lord will be their rereward. The Lord protects every human being who bears His sign. [Exodus 31:12-17 quoted.] {7BC 969.1}

This recognition of God is of the highest value to every human being All who love and serve Him are very precious in His sight. He would have them stand where they are worthy representatives of the truth as it is in Jesus (Letter 77, 1899). {7BC 969.2} Natural Traits Must Be Transformed—How few bear in mind that the tempter was once a covering cherub, a being whom God created for His own name’s glory. Satan fell from his high position through self-exaltation; he misused the high capabilities with which God had so richly endowed him. He fell for the same reason that thousands are falling today, because of an ambition to be first, an unwillingness to be under restraint. The Lord would teach man the lesson that, though united in church capacity, he is not saved until the seal of God is placed upon him…. {7BC 969.3}

The Lord has a work for us all to do. And if the truth is not rooted in the heart, if the natural traits of character are not transformed by the Holy Spirit, we can never be colaborers with Jesus Christ. Self will constantly appear, and the character of Christ will not be manifested in our lives (Letter 80, 1898). {7BC 969.4}

Without Spot or Wrinkle—Missionary agencies are greatly needed in every branch of God’s work. Our institutions need converted, devoted men, who will make the Lord their dependence. God will reveal through such workers the power of His grace. His servants are to be distinguished from the world by the seal of the living God; their words and their works are to reveal that they are laborers together with God. {7BC 969.5}

God can use the human agent just to the extent that he will be worked by the Holy Spirit. To men who accept positions of responsibility as presidents, ministers, physicians, or workers in any line, I am bidden to say: God will test every man who enters His service. He does not ask, Do they possess learning and eloquence? Have they ability to command and control and manage? He asks, Will they represent My character? Will they walk in humility, that I may teach them My way? The soul temple must not be defiled by any loose or unclean practice. Those whom I will acknowledge in the courts of heaven must be without spot and wrinkle. {7BC 969.6}

The Lord will use humble men to do a great and good work. Through them He will represent to the world the ineffaceable characteristics of the divine nature (Letter 270, 1907). {7BC 969.7}

(Revelation 14:1-3; Revelation 22:4; John 1:12.) An Honor to Bear God’s Sign—Those who come out from the world, to stand distinct from worldlings in words and works, those who realize that it is an honor to bear God’s sign, will receive power to become His sons. The Lord will have men who can be depended on. No one will enter the courts above who does not bear the sign of God. Those who in this sin-cursed earth bear this sign in holy boldness, looking upon it as an honor, will be recognized and honored by Christ in the courts above (Letter 125, 1903). {7BC 969.8}

(Jeremiah 8:20; 1 John 3:3.) Will the Angel Pass Us By?—“And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.” In a little while every one who is a child of God will have His seal placed upon him. O that it may be placed upon our foreheads! Who can endure the thought of being passed by when the angel goes forth to seal the servants of God in their foreheads ( The Review and Herald, May 28, 1889)? {7BC 969.9}

Passport to the Holy City—Only those who receive the seal of the living God will have the passport through the gates of the Holy City. But there are many who take upon themselves responsibilities in connection with the work of God who are not wholehearted believers, and while they remain thus cannot receive the seal of the living God. They trust in their own righteousness, which the Lord accounts as foolishness (Letter 164, 1909). {7BC 970.1}

The Mark of Distinction—Those who would have the seal of God in their foreheads must keep the Sabbath of the fourth commandment. This is what distinguishes them from the disloyal, who have accepted a man-made institution in the place of the true Sabbath. The observance of God’s rest day is the mark of distinction between him that serveth God and him that serveth Him not (Manuscript 27, 1899). {7BC 970.2}

Like Christ in Character—The seal of the living God will be placed upon those only who bear a likeness to Christ in character (The Review and Herald, May 21, 1895). {7BC 970.3}

Image of Christ on the Soul—As wax takes the impression of the seal, so the soul is to take the impression of the Spirit of God and retain the image of Christ (The Signs of the Times, July 18, 1911). {7BC 970.4}

The Seal and the Commandments—Many will not receive the seal of God because they do not keep His commandments or bear the fruits of righteousness (Letter 76, 1900). {7BC 970.5}

Bitter Disappointment in the Day of God—The great mass of professing Christians will meet with bitter disappointment in the day of God. They have not upon their foreheads the seal of the living God. Lukewarm and halfhearted, they dishonor God far more than the avowed unbeliever. They grope in darkness, when they might be walking in the noonday light of the Word, under the guidance of One who never errs (Letter 121, 1903). {7BC 970.6}

2-4. See EGW comment on Revelation 14:1-14. {7BC 970.7}

4-17 (Revelation 14:1-4; 2 Corinthians 3:18). Strive to Be Among the 144,000—[Revelation 7:9-17 quoted.] Those whom the Lamb shall lead by the fountains of living waters, and from whose eyes He shall wipe away all tears, will be those now receiving the knowledge and understanding revealed in the Bible, the Word of God…. {7BC 970.8}

We are to copy no human being. There is no human being wise enough to be our criterion. We are to look to the man Christ Jesus, who is complete in the perfection of righteousness and holiness. He is the author and finisher of our faith. He is the pattern man. His experience is the measure of the experience that we are to gain. His character is our model. Let us, then, take our minds off the perplexities and the difficulties of this life, and fix them on Him, that by beholding we may be changed into His likeness. We may behold Christ to good purpose. We may safely look to Him; for He is all-wise. As we look to Him and think of Him, He will be formed within, the hope of glory. {7BC 970.9}

Let us strive with all the power that God has given us to be among the hundred and forty-four thousand (The Review and Herald, March 9, 1905). {7BC 970.10}

9 (Revelation 3:5; Revelation 19:7-9; John 12:12,13). The Palms and the Robes—The palms signify that they have gained the victory, and the white robes that they have been clothed with the righteousness of Christ. Thank God that a fountain has been opened to wash our robes of character, and make them as white as snow (Und. Manuscript 23). {7BC 970.11}

The Acts of the Apostles (AA)

chapter 13 “Days of Preparation”

This chapter is based on Acts 9:19-30.

After his baptism, Paul broke his fast and remained “certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus. And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that He is the Son of God.” Boldly he declared Jesus of Nazareth to be the long-looked-for Messiah, who “died for our sins according to the Scriptures; … was buried, and … rose again the third day,” after which He was seen by the Twelve and by others. “And last of all,” Paul added, “He was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.” 1 Corinthians 15:3,4,8. His arguments from prophecy were so conclusive, and his efforts were so manifestly attended by the power of God, that the Jews were confounded and unable to answer him. {AA 123.1; HAp.101.1}

The news of Paul’s conversion had come to the Jews as a great surprise. He who had journeyed to Damascus “with authority and commission from the chief priests” (Acts 26:12) to apprehend and persecute the believers was now preaching the gospel of a crucified and risen Savior, strengthening the hands of those who were already its disciples, and continually bringing in new converts to the faith he had once so bitterly opposed. {AA 123.2; HAp.101.2}

Paul had formerly been known as a zealous defender of the Jewish religion and an untiring persecutor of the followers of Jesus. Courageous, independent, persevering, his talents and training would have enabled him to serve in almost any capacity. He could reason with extraordinary clearness, and by his withering sarcasm could place an opponent in no enviable light. And now the Jews saw this young man of unusual promise united with those whom he formerly persecuted, and fearlessly preaching in the name of Jesus. {AA 124.1; HAp.101.3}

A general slain in battle is lost to his army, but his death gives no additional strength to the enemy. But when a man of prominence joins the opposing force, not only are his services lost, but those to whom he joins himself gain a decided advantage. Saul of Tarsus, on his way to Damascus, might easily have been struck dead by the Lord, and much strength would have been withdrawn from the persecuting power. But God in His providence not only spared Saul’s life, but converted him, thus transferring a champion from the side of the enemy to the side of Christ. An eloquent speaker and a severe critic, Paul, with his stern purpose and undaunted courage, possessed the very qualifications needed in the early church. {AA 124.2; HAp.102.1}

As Paul preached Christ in Damascus, all who heard him were amazed and said, “Is not this he that destroyed them which called on this name in Jerusalem, and came hither for that intent, that he might bring them bound unto the chief priests?” Paul declared that his change of faith had not been prompted by impulse or fanaticism, but had been brought about by overwhelming evidence. In his presentation of the gospel he sought to make plain the prophecies relating to the first advent of Christ. He showed conclusively that these prophecies had been literally fulfilled in Jesus of Nazareth. The foundation of his faith was the sure word of prophecy. {AA 124.3; HAp.102.2}

As Paul continued to appeal to his astonished hearers to “repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance” (Acts 26:20), he “increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ.” But many hardened their hearts, refusing to respond to his message, and soon their astonishment at his conversion was changed into intense hatred like that which they had shown toward Jesus. {AA 125.1; HAp.102.3}

The opposition grew so fierce that Paul was not allowed to continue his labors at Damascus. A messenger from heaven bade him leave for a time, and he “went into Arabia” (Galatians 1:17), where he found a safe retreat. {AA 125.2; HAp.103.1}

Here, in the solitude of the desert, Paul had ample opportunity for quiet study and meditation. He calmly reviewed his past experience and made sure work of repentance. He sought God with all his heart, resting not until he knew for a certainty that his repentance was accepted and his sin pardoned. He longed for the assurance that Jesus would be with him in his coming ministry. He emptied his soul of the prejudices and traditions that had hitherto shaped his life, and received instruction from the Source of truth. Jesus communed with him and established him in the faith, bestowing upon him a rich measure of wisdom and grace. {AA 125.3; HAp.103.2}

When the mind of man is brought into communion with the mind of God, the finite with the Infinite, the effect on body and mind and soul is beyond estimate. In such communion is found the highest education. It is God’s own method of development. “Acquaint now thyself with Him” (Job 22:21), is His message to mankind. {AA 126.1; HAp.103.3}

The solemn charge that had been given Paul on the occasion of his interview with Ananias, rested with increasing weight upon his heart. When, in response to the word, “Brother Saul, receive thy sight,” Paul had for the first time looked upon the face of this devout man, Ananias under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit said to him: “The God of our fathers hath chosen thee, that thou shouldest know His will, and see that Just One, and shouldest hear the voice of His mouth. For thou shalt be His witness unto all men of what thou hast seen and heard. And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.” Acts 22:13-16. {AA 126.2; HAp.103.4}

These words were in harmony with the words of Jesus Himself, who, when He arrested Saul on the journey to Damascus, declared: “I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee; delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee, to open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in Me.” Acts 26:16-18. {AA 126.3; HAp.103.5}

As he pondered these things in his heart, Paul understood more and more clearly the meaning of his call “to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God.” 1 Corinthians 1:1. His call had come, “not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father.” Galatians 1:1. The greatness of the work before him led him to give much study to the Holy Scriptures, in order that he might preach the gospel “not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect,” “but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,” that the faith of all who heard “should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.” 1 Corinthians 1:17; 2:4,5. {AA 127.1; HAp.104.1}

As Paul searched the Scriptures, he learned that throughout the ages “not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: but God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; and base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: that no flesh should glory in His presence.” 1 Corinthians 1:26-29. And so, viewing the wisdom of the world in the light of the cross, Paul “determined not to know anything, … save Jesus Christ, and Him crucified.” 1 Corinthians 2:2. {AA 127.2; HAp.104.2}

Throughout his later ministry, Paul never lost sight of the Source of his wisdom and strength. Hear him, years afterward, still declaring, “For to me to live is Christ.” Philippians 1:21. And again: “I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, … that I may win Christ, and be found in Him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: that I may know Him, and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings.” Philippians 3:8-10. {AA 128.1; HAp.104.3}

From Arabia Paul “returned again unto Damascus” (Galatians 1:17), and “preached boldly … in the name of Jesus.” Unable to withstand the wisdom of his arguments, “the Jews took counsel to kill him.” The gates of the city were diligently guarded day and night to cut off his escape. This crisis led the disciples to seek God earnestly, and finally they “took him by night, and let him down through the wall, lowering him in a basket.” Acts 9:25, R.V. {AA 128.2; HAp.105.1}

After his escape from Damascus, Paul went to Jerusalem, about three years having passed since his conversion. His chief object in making this visit, as he himself declared afterward, was “to see Peter.” Galatians 1:18. Upon arriving in the city where he had once been well known as “Saul the persecutor,” “he assayed to join himself to the disciples: but they were all afraid of him, and believed not that he was a disciple.” It was difficult for them to believe that so bigoted a Pharisee, and one who had done so much to destroy the church, could become a sincere follower of Jesus. “But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and declared unto them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that He had spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus.” {AA 128.3; HAp.105.2}

Upon hearing this, the disciples received him as one of their number. Soon they had abundant evidence as to the genuineness of his Christian experience. The future apostle to the Gentiles was now in the city where many of his former associates lived, and to these Jewish leaders he longed to make plain the prophecies concerning the Messiah, which had been fulfilled by the advent of the Savior. Paul felt sure that these teachers in Israel, with whom he had once been so well acquainted, were as sincere and honest as he had been. But he had miscalculated the spirit of his Jewish brethren, and in the hope of their speedy conversion he was doomed to bitter disappointment. Although “he spake boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, and disputed against the Grecians,” those who stood at the head of the Jewish church refused to believe, but “went about to slay him.” Sorrow filled his heart. He would willingly have yielded up his life if by that means he might bring some to a knowledge of the truth. With shame he thought of the active part he had taken in the martyrdom of Stephen, and now in his anxiety to wipe out the stain resting upon one so falsely accused, he sought to vindicate the truth for which Stephen had given his life. {AA 129.1; HAp.105.3}

Burdened in behalf of those who refused to believe, Paul was praying in the temple, as he himself afterward testified, when he fell into a trance; whereupon a heavenly messenger appeared before him and said, “Make haste, and get thee quickly out of Jerusalem: for they will not receive thy testimony concerning Me.” Acts 22:18. {AA 130.1; HAp.106.1}

Paul was inclined to remain at Jerusalem, where he could face the opposition. To him it seemed an act of cowardice to flee, if by remaining he might be able to convince some of the obstinate Jews of the truth of the gospel message, even if to remain should cost him his life. And so he answered, “Lord, they know that I imprisoned and beat in every synagogue them that believed on Thee: and when the blood of Thy martyr Stephen was shed, I was also standing by, and consenting unto his death, and kept the raiment of them that slew him.” But it was not in harmony with the purpose of God that His servant should needlessly expose his life; and the heavenly messenger replied, “Depart: for I will send thee far hence unto the Gentiles.” Acts 22:19-21. {AA 130.2; HAp.106.2}

Upon learning of this vision, the brethren hastened Paul’s secret escape from Jerusalem, for fear of his assassination. “They brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.” The departure of Paul suspended for a time the violent opposition of the Jews, and the church had a period of rest, in which many were added to the number of believers. {AA 130.3; HAp.106.3}

Testimony: 02-14-2019 #02

Beloved, February 14, 2019. The Lord gave me a second dream. In dreams, I saw a fish tank. It was large in size!. There were many snakes in it; These snakes, of many sizes and colors, looked tame and did not instill fear. I saw how many children, young people and adults reached into the fish tank to touch them, and they gently let themselves be caressed by them. As I watched this, my eyes opened and I could see at the bottom of the tank, through the glass of the tank, a huge snake with large fangs; and his mouth was always open. When I realized this, I began to shout: “Get your hand out of the tank or the snake will bite you!” I ran up to them shouting, in the same way, until I got to them. These, with mocking laughter, and others, with faces that reflected great anger, looked at me and continued their activity. {Daisy Escalante: 02-14-2019 #02, en.p1}

I urged them until tired but even the adults encouraged the youngsters and children to continue stroking the snakes. Suddenly, the snake stuck its head above the snakes they caressed and, with the speed of lightning, bit each hand of those who caressed the snakes. These, feeling the pain and seeing their hand with two holes in it, screamed in pain and terror. As they ran, they staggered until they fell to the ground sweating heavily and barely out of breath. I saw, then, the great snake come out of the tank, imposing, and crawled in the middle of the inert bodies. And he would go to other fish tanks and hide in the same way and, there, he would attack other people and also bite them. Then, I heard a voice say to me: “This is the ancient serpent called devil and satan, who has redoubled his efforts to destroy, plunder and kill. Do not touch the unclean! Pray to the Lord of the harvest to cleanse you of your transgressions and iniquities because, if not, destruction will be your destiny. Straighten roadway, repair gates, prepare for the rain because your redemption is near.” {Daisy Escalante: 02-14-2019 #02, en.p2}

At that moment, I woke up, beloved, praying to God for every child of His on the broad face of the earth, so that we can stand firm and we can all be ready to meet Him. This is my prayer and request. May the Lord bless you. {Daisy Escalante: 02-14-2019 #02, en.p3}

Testimony: 05-27-2019

Beloved, May 27, 2019. In dreams I was in a wide field of land where there were many houses. There was a very mighty river and some large caves where people went there to see the attraction of them. I saw three people enter there, two adults and a young man. As I listened to their voice talking about the beauties seen there, everything began to shake strongly, and this movement increased, I saw only two people come out of the three who entered the cave. I saw many running and many screams that began their sound and ended, because part of the mountain began to slide, taking everything in its path: houses, cars, people, animals; That scene was terrible! I could not conceive the magnitude of the event and the destruction! {Daisy Escalante: 05-27-2019 , en.p1}

After such a tragic scene, I saw the wealthy take advantage of the victims, they did not extend their hands to the homeless, and they took advantage of the dying, the widow was taken away the little that was left with her, and the orphan was oppressed; many of those who were still alive, their lives were so difficult that I could hear them wish they had died; people tired looking for their missing loved ones to no avail; all that had been worked on in a life time were now buried ruins and many with their dreams. Suffering, food shortage, and the smallest in real need was not found. {Daisy Escalante: 05-27-2019 , en.p2}

My companion said: “Jeremiah 4:9,” and continued saying: “gird up your loins and be ready, obey the Holy One of Israel and do not listen to doctrines of demons.” At that moment I asked: “please tell me how to know a doctrine of demon?” He told me: “every mixture of truth with error, and incomplete truth, does not come from the High and Sublime God, this is the doctrine of demons. Prepare yourselves! prepare yourselves!” He continued saying, “because a stupendous crisis, of great mortality, ruin, and great calamity is approaching, step by step; stand on the Eternal Rock and meticulously follow its instructions, only then can you be freed; fast, pray at all times, it is not time to sleep! that your heart is agitated with pain for sin and seek holiness without which no one will see the Lord. All those who remain in the cities will die irremissibly, avoid them in the least, hasten your preparation and leave them because horror upon horror, slaughter upon slaughter awaits them, and who knows their visitation but the Holy and Sublime? There the inhabitants of them will weep, and the hearts of many will fail when they understand that their evil hearts fed love for them.” And so He ended by saying: “come out of them, my people, because their hour has come! because if you delay, who will be able to free you?” And He gave me another quote: “Hosea 4:9.” {Daisy Escalante: 05-27-2019 , en.p3}

At that moment, beloved, there I woke up, praying and asking the Lord that all of us can be prepared for what is coming, but not with our own strength but clinging to Jesus Christ so that we can overcome. May the Lord bless you all. {Daisy Escalante: 05-27-2019 , en.p4}

Jeremiah 4:9

9 And it shall come to pass at that day, saith the LORD, that the heart of the king shall perish, and the heart of the princes; and the priests shall be astonished, and the prophets shall wonder.

Hosea 4:9

9 And there shall be, like people, like priest: and I will punish them for their ways, and reward them their doings.

Testimony: 03-21-2020 #01

Beloved, March 21, 2020. Thus says the Lord: “obey the 8 natural remedies conscientiously, use blue verbena, noni, neem and moringa; consume them daily.”

“This will not stop, but will go from bad to worse, calamity after calamity, plague after plague will run across the broad face of the earth, and only implicit obedience, not out of fear but out of conviction and love, will save you; Get out, get out of the cities!, for I will have mercy only on whom I will have mercy; Only in this way will the plague not touch them, nor the plague in their dwellings; because they have put Me for their hope and for their dwelling.” {Daisy Escalante: 03-21-2020 #01, en.p1}

“You want to be liberated? Be submissive and obedient to My commands, and you will find rest for your souls; there are many tormented by evil entities at night, because even for this there is a term, they live their life in double spirit, and their hearts and minds are centered on themselves; this is a characteristic of the evil one, and that is why the evil one draws near to them; be therefore holy as I am Holy, in Me there is no egocentricity, nor ranting; be therefore imitators of Me, You will find rest for your souls. You fight for your comfort and your own complacency, doing so you will only attract evil to yourself; Remember that while I was among you, I did not even have a place to lay My head, but even so I scattered all My gifts among you; you gather for yourselves an endless number of things, but these will be piled up like embers on your heads; My true children lived in tents, small, humble and simple dwellings; the discomfort and the work was and is their daily task; They do not stop to look for their own good, rather their life consists of looking for the good of their neighbor, in this they will know who My children are; self-denial drives away bitterness, stress, depression and therefore oppression and possession.” {Daisy Escalante: 03-21-2020 #01, en.p2}

“The 144,000 cannot be found deceit in their mouths, and they do not live for themselves, they do not yield to presumption, nor do they allow themselves to be pressured not even by their own life, they do not fear physical death, they only fear spiritual death, they recognize evil and are not afraid to call it by name; They do not have their own expectations, but like birds, they trust and live each day doing their job without expecting anything in return; My eye observes everything, searches everything, and certainly they will receive their reward; their soul is shaken by the pain of others, and they always seek the good of them; They cry out to Me for wisdom, not for their own good, but for the good of others; but I am just, and My kingdom is of justice, and I will certainly give it in abundance for others, and for those who cry day and night in self-denial; My eye observes each one of them, and My care prepares them in the face of crises to be ambassadors of My kingdom; soon they will know and will be known, and nothing and no one will be able to stop them; many will see them and at first they will mock them, but My spirit is with them, and nothing can stop them. Humble yourselves with fear and trembling, and seek Me, only in this way will you be able to overcome. Look at the very small seed of mustard, its seed no one praises it, but when it grows, it is appreciated by many; so it will be with those who honor Me and follow My commandments, My ordinances and My statutes.” {Daisy Escalante: 03-21-2020 #01, en.p3}

“Stay away from presumption, and do not encourage the presumptuous. Look around you! Look at the trees! Do they tire of the existing evil? Do animals get tired? Does the sea leave its seat and disobey My command? Does the sun cease to give its warmth and the moon its light? Does the wind stop blowing because of evil? Didn’t I tell you before that the enemy studies nature for evil? But My children study it with My wisdom to safeguard your lives.” {Daisy Escalante: 03-21-2020 #01, en.p4}

“Pay attention and be obedient to My voice; eat noni fruit, eat moringa and neem leaves, and drink blue verbena tea; eat your meals with garlic and onion, and where you don’t have eat anamu. My servant has spent half of her journey on the special diet that I dictated to her, and see what happens around you, but at the end of this time it will be even more stormy. Prepare yourselves!, because again I tell you that for Tabernacles a storm will break loose, and if now you get tired with those on foot, how will it be with those on horseback? Rest in Me, and only in this way will you find rest for your souls; read Revelation 3:15, Isaiah 1:2-9; Mark 1:23-34; Revelation 13:11-18 and Revelation 22:11-21. Study to the law and the testimony of the life of Elijah, Moses and Abraham, the reparatory wisdom of Joseph. Internalize the Psalms.” {Daisy Escalante: 03-21-2020 #01, en.p5}

Beloved, God grant that each one of us be able to understand what the Lord wants to say to each one of us. May the Lord bless us. {Daisy Escalante: 03-21-2020 #01, en.p6}

Revelation 3:15

15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.

Isaiah 1:2-9

2 Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the LORD hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.
3 The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master’s crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.
4 Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.
5 Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.
6 From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.
7 Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.
8 And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.
9 Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah.

Mark 1:23-34

23 And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,
24 Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.
25 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him.
26 And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him.
27 And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority commandeth he even the unclean spirits, and they do obey him.
28 And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region round about Galilee.
29 And forthwith, when they were come out of the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
30 But Simon’s wife’s mother lay sick of a fever, and anon they tell him of her.
31 And he came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.
32 And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were diseased, and them that were possessed with devils.
33 And all the city was gathered together at the door.
34 And he healed many that were sick of divers diseases, and cast out many devils; and suffered not the devils to speak, because they knew him.

Revelation 13:11-18

11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

Revelation 22:11-21

11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.
12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.
17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen.Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

May 17, 2020. In dreams I could appreciate a very great anguish in different parts of the world, and this anguish was accentuated here also in Puerto Rico. There was no longer economic or food stability and fear was in great magnitude. {Daisy Escalante: 05-17-2020 , en.p1}

I was transported to the living room of a sister I know, there I saw myself talking to her about this time, and the quick and decisive preparation that had to be done. I also saw myself exhorting her about the young people that struggles to be faithful to the Lord and the danger they run, and exhorting her to prepare. I was let to know that the opportunity had come in the living room of her home, and she had taken it lightly; since in her pace she felt safe. {Daisy Escalante: 05-17-2020 , en.p2}

The scene changed and I was at my house, the phone rang and I took the call, I heard the voice of the sister who with great fear and anguish said to me: “Daisy, what should I do? This is terrible!, what do I do now? I’m desperate, I don’t know what to do! tell me what to do, help me! She was desperate, the situation was such that she did not know what to do and could not find a solution; I saw that like her there were many who took the time of preparation lightly, and now desperation took over their lives. {Daisy Escalante: 05-17-2020 , en.p3}

At that moment there I woke up, begging the Lord that everything we know we should do, let’s do it and not delay, because if not time will catch us, and then it will be too late. I pray that in the Lord we can advance at accurate time. May the Lord bless us. {Daisy Escalante: 05-17-2020 , en.p4}

Testimony: 03-11-2021 #02

March 11, 2021. I was let known that no injustice that is not passed through the processes that the ETERNAL requests can be forgiven. Ask God for forgiveness, then ask for forgiveness from those involved if that is the case, then give just retribution to the offended: restitution, then turn away from evil and then walk in the footsteps of the Teacher. {Daisy Escalante: 03-11-2021 #02, en.p1}

All concealed injustice, I was let known, from parents to children or children to parents, from husband to wife or vice versa, from camp, from individual to individual; that knows injustice and encourages it, or silent it knowingly, will be guilty of judgement. The ETERNAL cannot be mocked and those who practice this will perish. I was let known, therefore, that the ETERNAL thoroughly revises over who claims to be His people and separates the chaff from the wheat. {Daisy Escalante: 03-11-2021 #02, en.p2}

Oh, beloved brothers, how tremendous this is! God grant that we can get right with God while there is still a little time left. May the ETERNAL bless us. {Daisy Escalante: 03-11-2021 #02, en.p3}

Testimony: 03-12-2021

March 12, 2021. In dreams, I saw how [a] woman was accused and brought before a court. She was given a piece of paper to read and it said: “accused of saying a saying.” She had written a saying that was well known, and since she wrote it on a card and gave it to another person and put her name on the card, now, they prosecuted her for it. The sentence was a minimum of three years, up to twenty years in prison. The one who accused her was a homosexual who felt alluded before the saying. He brought the case before the judge. And the jury, and all, laughed at the misfortune of that woman. {Daisy Escalante: 03-12-2021 , en.p1}

She was waiting with a girl in a small room outside the room. And I saw her fall to her knees and cry out to God in the face of this great injustice. She began to pray. And as she prayed, I was able to see that the Judge of judges was sitting next to the chair of the judge of the court, and exalted angels were among the jury. They called the woman, and she entered. She was told why she was there and asked to say whether she declared herself guilty or innocent. She opened her mouth, saw an angel next to her. He immobilized everyone, but their faculty of hearing was not taken away, and she spoke for many minutes and everyone listened. When she finished, the angel removed his power over them and everyone was able to react and realize that she was fair and they were unfair. Thus, both the judge and some of the jury were convinced of her innocence, but the majority voted for her guilt and she was, this woman, sentenced to the maximum sentence of 20 years in prison. Those who did not agree helped her escape, with her daughter, to the mountains. {Daisy Escalante: 03-12-2021 , en.p2}

I also witnessed other cases, somewhat similar. But many remained prisoners, and these were assisted by angels.

The dream changed, I saw a married couple struggling with the economic chaos that was in front of them. I saw them, they had a car and they didn’t have enough gas to get to the place they had to go, they didn’t have enough money to put the desired fuel either because the gas pump said: “minimum: 20 dollars, and no less is dispensed.” {Daisy Escalante: 03-12-2021 , en.p3}

While they were struggling to get to where they were going, their car ran out completely of gas. And I saw them cry out with great fervor for this. I saw a man who came up and put a coin in the hands of the man in the car. They were silver coins, thick, and he told him: “go to such a gas station, say my name and they will help you.” So did the man. I saw him get out of the car, when the man who gave him the coins told him: “get back in the car, start the car and go with it.” He did not hesitate, started the car and advanced. He arrived at the place, the place was a cliff with great altitude and depth. There, were some instructions to go up and so I saw them strictly follow the instructions, because if they didn’t, death was certain. I saw them, there, achieve it and arrive. {Daisy Escalante: 03-12-2021 , en.p4}

A kind man dispensed their gasoline, fed them, and allowed them to spend the night. The next day, they went back and, at one point, I saw that the woman came back because a very important notebook had been left in the room where she spent the night. There, she forgot it and went back for it because her husband reminded her. When she returned, some women harassed her, but an angel intervened and was able to recover it and continue on her path. I saw them arrive at a place where they had to continue on foot, and a fabric bridge that was blown by the wind was there before them, this was moving; it was the only thing existing there to cross. I saw that others did it before them, [but] to these it was prohibited to tell others how to achieve it. I saw that the couple tried various ways, overcoming fears and preconceptions and, finally, they said to each other: “without ‘I’ we will overcome.” I saw them advance like this, laying down their ‘I’, and they achieve it! {Daisy Escalante: 03-12-2021 , en.p5}

And when I got to the other side, I saw them arrive at a place where there was a sign that said: “there are books, you can choose, come.” I saw them go to that place. A lady with two young men came out and greeted them and they asked about the books. The lady told them: “you just have to pass a short verbal dictation,” and they agreed. I heard the dictation, there were three questions. The first: “who do you love more than yourself?” The second: “really what you say is what you think?” And third: “Are you really here to save yourself? Or out of conviction?” I saw that the couple looked at each other. I saw the man hesitate, but the woman answered the first question: “I love my King and sovereign God more than anything.” And to the second question she answered: “yes, it is like that. And [to] the third question she answered: “out of conviction.” {Daisy Escalante: 03-12-2021 , en.p6}

While she was already finishing, answering this, I saw that a luminous, very high and very resplendent being gave faith if the answer was true or false. And I saw that He let it be known that these answers that this woman had given were true. So, this lady said to the woman who replied, “You can take a book. We have here this one on philosophy, this one on history, this one on science, this one on language, and this one on the foundations of God’s principles.” The woman opened her eyes and exclaimed, “I want the one on the foundations of God’s principles.” And there I saw her take it and put it on her chest after kissing the book. {Daisy Escalante: 03-12-2021 , en.p7}

Then the man went and [he] was also asked other questions, and these were also three. The first: “Will you die for God or would you die for God?” The second: “Would you speak of Him even if it cost you your life?” The third: “Would you give your life for a Christian unknown to you?” The man answered each of these. I listened to him speak, but I did not understand his answers. But I saw that the luminous being affirmed what the man replied, and he went on to choose a book as well. {Daisy Escalante: 03-12-2021 , en.p8}

At that moment there I woke up and was told: “Proverbs 25.” O beloved! Let’s keep crying out to God for each other. May the Lord bless us. {Daisy Escalante: 03-12-2021 , en.p9}

Proverbs 25

1 These are also proverbs of Solomon, which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah copied out.
2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.
3 The heaven for height, and the earth for depth, and the heart of kings is unsearchable.
4 Take away the dross from the silver, and there shall come forth a vessel for the finer.
5 Take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne shall be established in righteousness.
6 Put not forth thyself in the presence of the king, and stand not in the place of great men:
7 For better it is that it be said unto thee, Come up hither; than that thou shouldest be put lower in the presence of the prince whom thine eyes have seen.
8 Go not forth hastily to strive, lest thou know not what to do in the end thereof, when thy neighbour hath put thee to shame.
9 Debate thy cause with thy neighbour himself; and discover not a secret to another:
10 Lest he that heareth it put thee to shame, and thine infamy turn not away.
11 A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.
12 As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover upon an obedient ear.
13 As the cold of snow in the time of harvest, so is a faithful messenger to them that send him: for he refresheth the soul of his masters.
14 Whoso boasteth himself of a false gift is like clouds and wind without rain.
15 By long forbearing is a prince persuaded, and a soft tongue breaketh the bone.
16 Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee, lest thou be filled therewith, and vomit it.
17 Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbours house; lest he be weary of thee, and so hate thee.
18 A man that beareth false witness against his neighbour is a maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow.
19 Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble is like a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint.
20 As he that taketh away a garment in cold weather, and as vinegar upon nitre, so is he that singeth songs to an heavy heart.
21 If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink:
22 For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the LORD shall reward thee.
23 The north wind driveth away rain: so doth an angry countenance a backbiting tongue.
24 It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman and in a wide house.
25 As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country.
26 A righteous man falling down before the wicked is as a troubled fountain, and a corrupt spring.
27 It is not good to eat much honey: so for men to search their own glory is not glory.
28 He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls.

Testimony: 03-13-2021

March 13, 2021. In a dream, I was shown a group of people who loved God and did only His will. And another group, who were family of these, but with many difficulties for having been rebellious. These came before the obedient ones to ask for help. There I was let known: “pay great attention.” {Daisy Escalante: 03-13-2021 , en.p1}

I saw that they helped them and sought good for them, but these, the needy, were not to be trusted; because it was only enough that they felt strong again to rebel. There I was told: “It is the duty of each son of Mine to know how to help, but just trust fully in Me.” So I said, “oh, Lord, how do I know what to do and what not to do?” He answered me: “Jeremiah 8.” {Daisy Escalante: 03-13-2021 , en.p2}

I leave this with you, beloved brothers. Let us analyze, read, scrutinize, and meditate well on the Word of the ETERNAL because only He knows how to win this war, and we need these war strategies of Christ Jesus in the lives of each one of us in order to be able to overcome, by His power and by His mercy. May the Lord bless us. {Daisy Escalante: 03-13-2021 , en.p3}

Jeremiah 8

1 At that time, saith the LORD, they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves:
2 And they shall spread them before the sun, and the moon, and all the host of heaven, whom they have loved, and whom they have served, and after whom they have walked, and whom they have sought, and whom they have worshipped: they shall not be gathered, nor be buried; they shall be for dung upon the face of the earth.
3 And death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue of them that remain of this evil family, which remain in all the places whither I have driven them, saith the LORD of hosts.
4 Moreover thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD; Shall they fall, and not arise? shall he turn away, and not return?
5 Why then is this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a perpetual backsliding? they hold fast deceit, they refuse to return.
6 I hearkened and heard, but they spake not aright: no man repented him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? every one turned to his course, as the horse rusheth into the battle.
7 Yea, the stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times; and the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the judgment of the LORD.
8 How do ye say, We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us? Lo, certainly in vain made he it; the pen of the scribes is in vain.
9 The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: lo, they have rejected the word of the LORD; and what wisdom is in them?
10 Therefore will I give their wives unto others, and their fields to them that shall inherit them: for every one from the least even unto the greatest is given to covetousness, from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely.
11 For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.
12 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore shall they fall among them that fall: in the time of their visitation they shall be cast down, saith the LORD.
13 I will surely consume them, saith the LORD: there shall be no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig tree, and the leaf shall fade; and the things that I have given them shall pass away from them.
14 Why do we sit still? assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the defenced cities, and let us be silent there: for the LORD our God hath put us to silence, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against the LORD.
15 We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of health, and behold trouble!
16 The snorting of his horses was heard from Dan: the whole land trembled at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones; for they are come, and have devoured the land, and all that is in it; the city, and those that dwell therein.
17 For, behold, I will send serpents, cockatrices, among you, which will not be charmed, and they shall bite you, saith the LORD.
18 When I would comfort myself against sorrow, my heart is faint in me.
19 Behold the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people because of them that dwell in a far country: Is not the LORD in Zion? is not her king in her? Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven images, and with strange vanities?
20 The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.
21 For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt; I am black; astonishment hath taken hold on me.
22 Is there no balm in Gilead; is there no physician there? why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?
