Certain of Israel were Elected to See

Certain of Israel were elected to see that Jesus is the Messiah (Rom.11:7 below); the rest were given the spirit of slumber, eyes that will not see and ears that will not hear (Rom11:8 below) the truth.

At the Sixth SEAL (Re.6:12-17), when the fullness of the Gentiles comes in, the partial blindness of Israel will be lifted (Rom.11:25 below); then Israel will know that Jesus is the Messiah.


Rom.11:7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the ELECTION HATH OBTAINED IT, and THE REST WERE BLINDED (Rom.11:25 below)

Rom.11:8 (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day.

Rom.11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits, that blindness in part is happened to Israel (Rom.11:7-8 above), until the fulness of the Gentiles (1 Thess.4:5, Eph.2:12) be come in.


Sixth SEAL

Re.6:12 And I beheld when he had opened the SIXTH SEAL, and, lo, there was a GREAT EARTHQUAKE; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood (Acts.2:20, Joel 2:31);

Re.6:13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth (Matt.24:29), even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.

Re.6:14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and EVERY MOUNTAIN (Ps.104:6) AND ISLAND WERE MOVED OUT OF THEIR PLACES (Isa.2:19).

Re.6:15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains (Isa.2:19, Isa.13:7-8);

Re.6:16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of HIM THAT SITTETH ON THE THRONE (Lk.21:27, Isa.2:19), and from THE WRATH OF THE LAMB (Re.6:17):

Re.6:17 For the GREAT DAY OF HIS WRATH IS COME (Re.6:16 above, Joel 2:31, Jer.30:7 below); and who shall be able to stand (Lk.21:36)?
