The Fifth Seal

This message I received previously from the Lord speaks of the Fifth Seal that is already opened. The Christians in the Middle East who have been persecuted and killed for their faith in Jesus Christ by ISIS and other jihadists belong to this group of martyred saints. More will be added to their numbers in the coming days, as persecution of Christians spread to the other nations, until the appointed number of Christ's martyrs is reached. Let us remember our persecuted brothers and sisters-in-Christ in our prayers, for our time of persecution will come soon enough.

Whatever happens, we must remember that The LORD is in full control of all things. As the fulfilment of Bible end-time prophecy stands, we are now awaiting the completion of the Fifth Seal and the coming of the Sixth Seal, which marks the time of the first Rapture of the Bride. For those of you who have been reading and following the Lords messages here, you know that there will be 3 Days of Darkness, followed by the Great Soul Harvest, before the Rapture of the Bride can take place. Hence, the Sixth Seal will not be opened until the 2 events mentioned above are fulfilled.

I am in the process of taking down a new message from the Lord which touches on this, based on the timeline of Matthew 24. In a separate future message, I also hope to explain why the 3 Days and Great Harvest must occur before the first Rapture, and not after the Rapture, as some Christians believe. My explanation will be based on what the Lord has revealed to a number of His prophets and messengers, which must always corroborate with the Lord's Holy Scriptures. By God's grace, I shall post the newest message in the coming days.

As always, please prayerfully discern all messages from the Lord, and seek His confirmation personally. Shalom to you and your family!

My son, write these Words to My saints who reside all around the world. My children, I know many of you grow weary in this late hour, as you await the coming of your Saviour and Bridegroom. I assure you that I will come for you, so do not despair and do not lose hope. Anchor your trust and hope in Me, for I AM the Rock of your salvation. Those who build their house upon the Rock will not fall when the mighty storm of tribulation approaches, wherever you live in the world.

My children, I desire this day that you will lift up to Me in prayer, your brothers and sisters who are being persecuted for My Name's sake. Precious in My sight is the death of My saints. These are the children of YESHUA who are arrested, tortured and killed for their undying faith in Me. Remember them, My children, and pray for Me to grant them courage, faith, hope and love in the face of death, for many are appointed to die as My martyrs. These are the saints of the Fifth Seal in Chapter 6 of the book of Revelation as recorded by My apostle, John. Great will be their reward in heaven, My children.

My dear ones, learn to hear My voice, for I desire greatly to speak to all of My children in daily communion and fellowship. Put away everything that hinders your walk with Me and learn to discern My still small voice within you. You need to draw near to Me now, My loves, for the time of greater tribulation is approaching your nations. Those who have learnt to hear My voice will find themselves surrounded by My peace and My love for them. They shall not lose their direction as great darkness descends upon the earth, for I have them safely in the palm of My hand. My sheep listen for My voice and they follow Me. They will not heed the voice of a stranger. I shall lead my sheep to safe pastures, even as the world is rocked by great calamities and disasters.

Remain in Me and I will remain in you. Apart from Me, you can do nothing. Trust in My promises, My loves, for I, YESHUA, your Saviour, does not and cannot lie. All of My promises to you will stand true. Therefore, do not let your hearts become anxious, nor your minds consumed by doubts, for My righteous ones shall live by faith in Me. Do not worry about tomorrow, but live day by day in Me, knowing that I AM coming to rescue My beloved Bride. I love you very much, My dear ones. We shall meet in the skies very soon. Keep looking up, My loves, for your redemption draws nigh!"

-Love, YESHUA

Revelation 6:9-11

9 When the Lamb broke the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God, and because of the testimony which they had maintained; 10 and they cried out with a loud voice, saying, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, will You refrain from judging and avenging our blood on those who dwell on the earth?” 11 And there was given to each of them a white robe; and they were told that they should rest for a little while longer, until the number of their fellow servants and their brethren who were to be killed even as they had been, would be completed also.

Psalm 18:2

The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

Psalm 62:2

He only is my rock and my salvation, My stronghold; I shall not be greatly shaken.

Psalm 23:1-2, 4

The Lord is my shepherd,
I shall not want.
2He makes me lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside quiet waters.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I fear no evil, for You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

Psalm 116:15 (ESV)

Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.

Lamentations 3:24-26

“The Lord is my portion,” says my soul,
“Therefore I have hope in Him.”
25The Lord is good to those who wait for Him,
To the person who seeks Him.
26It is good that he waits silently
For the salvation of the Lord.

1 Kings 19:11-13 (NKJV)

11 Then He said, “Go out, and stand on the mountain before the Lord.” And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake; 12 and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice.
13 So it was, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood in the entrance of the cave. Suddenly a voice came to him, and said, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”

Matthew 6:27

And who of you by being worried can add a single hour to his life?

Luke 21:28

"But when these things begin to take place, straighten up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near."

John 10:1-5

“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter by the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbs up some other way, he is a thief and a robber. 2 But he who enters by the door is a shepherd of the sheep. 3 To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 4 When he puts forth all his own, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice. 5 A stranger they simply will not follow, but will flee from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers.”

John 15:4-5

4 Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me. 5 I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing.

2 Corinthians 1:20 (NIV)

For no matter how many promises God has made, they are "Yes" in Christ. And so through him the "Amen" is spoken by us to the glory of God.

Galatians 3:11 (ESV)

Now it is evident that no one is justified before God by the law, for “The righteous shall live by faith.”

Hebrews 12:1-2

Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Blessings In Yeshua,

Mark Chen
