Blessings Raul D,
I believe you are just a little off track with your
interpretation of Rev.5:13.
You read the phrase "every creature" in heaven, on earth, under the
earth, etc. will hear the blessing for Jesus and you assumed that you and
every other person on earth are indeed creatures therefore God was talking to
all of us--- therefore we would all hear this blessing to Jesus before the
first seal was opened. Not so-----let me explain.
God had just described these "creatures" He was referring to in Rev.5:13
in the previous chapter. These creatures---
---were full of eyes around and within
---one was like a lion
---one was like a calf
---one had a face like a man
---one was like a flying eagle
---each had six wings
---they do not rest day or night
And "every time" these "creatures" give glory and honor and thanks
to Him who sits on the throne, and lives forever and
ever.----then---the twenty four elders fall down before Him who sits on the
throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever.
Now when we read through chapter five we see that John the writer of
Revelation looked and heard the voices of angels, the living creatures
(we just described), and the elders. The total number of these three categories
was described as ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands and thousands.
In my way of thinking---untold millions or billions. These are beings God
created I believe to over-see His creation.
So now in the next verses (the ones you Raul contend)--- God
is still talking about the "creatures" He has just spent two chapters
describing, and says---
13 And every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and under the
earth and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying:
Blessing and honor and glory and power Be to Him who sits on the throne, And to
the Lamb, forever and ever!
Now to prove absolutely that God is talking to these strange creatures and
not us---we need only to read the next verse which says--
14 Then the four living creatures said , Amen! These creatures
knew God was talking to them so they said--"AMEN"
Now what can we draw from this-------
1) these "creatures" God was talking about in Rev. 5:13 are not us, therefore we do not have to wait
for this blessing from these creatures to Jesus to be heard here on earth
by us---- before the first seal can be opened.
2) these "creatures" God created number in the millions or billions or
millions of billions only He knows. From His word we do know that they are
in heaven, on the earth, under the earth and are in the sea.
3) I believe and there is scripture to back me up--- that God has
created untold numbers of beings to over-see His creation, not only here on
earth but in the heavens.
As I have wrote in prior articles here on Doves my personal belief is
that the first four seals have already been opened and that one fourth of the
earth is already under non-peace, war, famine and pestilence resulting in
death. I believe that the fifth seal as well has already been
opened. And when Jesus cracks that sixth seal the Rapture of His Church will
happen accompanied by a great world wide earthquake, terrible happenings in
the sun,moon and sky--- and Satan with his fallen angels will be
cast to earth. And I believe that it--the sixth seal could happen
anytime--any day. With what is transpiring around the planet it's apparent the
stage is fully set for the final acts.

P.S.-- You might want to check scripture a little closer before you pull
out Matthew 24:24

"Are the 3 horsemen
of the Apocalyse loosed?"
Greeting Doves,
there are beliefs that the 3 horsemen of the apocalypse are riding the
earth right now, but are they really? Lets see them in order in chapter 6, the
other chapter before is the most powerful piece of evidence to know what
needs to happen before the start of Tribulation and the release of the
horsemen.
Revelation
6
2And I saw, and behold a white horse.( 1st seal )
4And there went out another horse that was red (
2nd seal )
5And I beheld, and lo a black horse. (
3rd seal )
8And I looked, and behold a pale horse:( 4th
seal )
Revelation 5:13
(King James Version)
And every creature which is in
heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and
such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and
power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever
and ever.
Notice every creature
everywhere including earth is going to hear this before the 1st
seal opens
Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power,
be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.
I haven’t heard this have you? Assuming that the book of Revelation is in
order from the beginning up to chapter 6 verse one that means the horsemen
haven’t been released yet
Revelation 6:1
And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I
heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come
and see.
After the 1st seal opening, most
likely starts tribulation. but before this happens you know what the whole
world must hear in Rev 5:13, if the book of Rev is in order that means this
verse below applies
Matthew 24:24
For there shall arise
false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders;
insomuch that, if it were
possible, they shall deceive the very
elect.
