Shalom All:

When I read Revelation 14:14-20, the Harvest of the Earth - Seal 7, trumpet 7, I am told this is the song of those who have been victorious over the beast and his image.  These cannot be the same people of Revelation 7:9-17 - Seal 6 which is BEFORE the sea beast and his mark.  I also read that victory over the beast/image results in death because Revelation 13:11-18 says those who refuse the beast are killed.  I understand this to mean that those who ARE KILLED possibly have refused the beast because they accepted YHVH/Yeshua.

I don't see the world-wide universal "marking" program of the sea beast going on ... yet.  I also don't see that the sea beast has been revealed ... yet.  I don't believe Seal 6 has opened ... yet ... and most teach that Seal One hasn't even opened yet.  What a busy time it will if Seals 1-5 and 6 must open yet before this coming Yom Teruah/Yom Kippur.

I do believe that during the horrible reign of the beast some humans will realize The Truth because Revelation 14:6-13 describes YHVH's evangelism program and I believe it will have results.  But most of these "42-month" believers will pay for acknowledging Yeshua/YHVH with their lives in a brutal fashion!

It seems a foolish choice to me, to wait to experience the horror that is written of in The Word to believe it, when I can choose to believe The Word's witness of what it is going to happen and have the blessed Hope of Yeshua!  Sort of like escaping the damage of fire because I trust the warnings I've been given about it.  As a mother I haven't put my children's hands into the fire to make them see it's damage, and yet they have been willing to believe my warning.  And I couldn't imagine what I would gain by burning them to teach them my warning is true when they already believe me!

I do know YHVH does not want any human to be lost because it is each human soul that YHVH and satan fight over.  So the human soul must be very, very, very precious!  Perhaps more precious than we humans can understand now.
