Henry: Welcome To Immerse: The
Daily Bible Reading Experience.

00:00:02.988 --> 00:00:03.978
Day 76

00:00:04.311 --> 00:00:10.281
then as I looked, I saw a door
standing open in heaven, and the

00:00:10.281 --> 00:00:14.301
same voice I had heard before
spoke to me like a trumpet blast.

00:00:15.021 --> 00:00:20.871
The voice said, come up here and I will
show you what must happen after this,

00:00:22.191 --> 00:00:24.291
and instantly I was in the spirit.

00:00:25.071 --> 00:00:27.861
And I saw a throne in heaven
and someone sitting on it.

00:00:28.221 --> 00:00:33.471
The one sitting on the throne was as
brilliant as gemstones like Jasper and

00:00:33.471 --> 00:00:38.421
Cornelian, and the glow of an emerald
circled his throne like a rainbow.

00:00:39.351 --> 00:00:44.001
24 thrones surrounded him
and 24 elders sat on them.

00:00:44.721 --> 00:00:48.021
They were all clothed in white and
had gold crowns on their heads.

00:00:48.711 --> 00:00:52.761
From the throne came flashes of
lightning and the rumble of thunder.

00:00:53.481 --> 00:00:56.931
And in front of the throne were
seven torches with burning flames.

00:00:57.411 --> 00:00:59.961
This is the sevenfold spirit of God.

00:01:00.981 --> 00:01:05.211
In front of the throne was a shiny
sea of glass, sparkling like crystal

00:01:06.561 --> 00:01:08.601
in the center and around the throne.

00:01:08.601 --> 00:01:12.981
Were four living beings, each
covered with eyes front and back.

00:01:13.821 --> 00:01:16.551
The first of these living
beings was like a lion.

00:01:17.061 --> 00:01:18.981
The second was like an ox.

00:01:19.281 --> 00:01:20.661
The third had a human face.

00:01:21.666 --> 00:01:24.246
And the fourth was like
an eagle in flight.

00:01:25.146 --> 00:01:29.496
Each of these living beings had six
wings, and their wings were covered

00:01:29.496 --> 00:01:35.916
all over with eyes inside and out
day after day and night after night.

00:01:36.006 --> 00:01:42.696
They keep on saying, holy, holy,
holy is the Lord God the Almighty.

00:01:43.416 --> 00:01:48.126
The one who always was, who
is and who is still to come.

00:01:50.256 --> 00:01:54.546
Whenever the living beings give glory
and honor, and thanks to the one sitting

00:01:54.546 --> 00:02:00.786
on the throne, the one who lives forever
and ever, the 24 elders fall down and

00:02:00.786 --> 00:02:05.966
worship the one sitting on the throne,
the one who lives forever and ever, and

00:02:06.576 --> 00:02:12.816
they lay their crowns before the throne
and say, you are worthy, oh Lord, our

00:02:12.816 --> 00:02:16.536
God, to receive glory and honor and power.

00:02:17.106 --> 00:02:22.776
For you created all things and they exist
because you created what you pleased.

00:02:24.096 --> 00:02:28.236
Then I saw a scroll in the right hand of
the one who was sitting on the throne.

00:02:29.646 --> 00:02:33.546
There was writing on the inside
and the outside of the scroll, and

00:02:33.546 --> 00:02:35.856
it was sealed with seven seals.

00:02:36.156 --> 00:02:42.096
And I saw a strong angel who shouted
with a loud voice, who is worthy to break

00:02:42.096 --> 00:02:44.496
the seals on this scroll and open it.

00:02:45.666 --> 00:02:49.296
But no one in heaven or on Earth
or under the Earth was able to

00:02:49.296 --> 00:02:50.856
open the scroll and read it.

00:02:52.176 --> 00:02:56.196
Then I began to weep bitterly
because no one was found worthy

00:02:56.196 --> 00:02:57.966
to open the scroll and read it.

00:02:59.076 --> 00:03:02.706
But one of the 24 elders
said to me, stop weeping.

00:03:03.366 --> 00:03:03.816
Look.

00:03:04.356 --> 00:03:09.966
The lion of the tribe of Judah, the heir
to David's throne has won the victory.

00:03:11.241 --> 00:03:15.021
He is worthy to open the
scroll and its seven seals.

00:03:16.671 --> 00:03:21.081
Then I saw a lamb that looked as if it
had been slaughtered, but it was now

00:03:21.081 --> 00:03:26.361
standing between the throne and the four
living beings, and among the 24 elders,

00:03:27.531 --> 00:03:33.171
he had seven horns and seven eyes, which
represent the sevenfold spirit of God that

00:03:33.171 --> 00:03:35.301
is sent out into every part of the earth.

00:03:36.651 --> 00:03:40.161
He stepped forward and took the
scroll from the right hand of

00:03:40.161 --> 00:03:41.631
the ones sitting on the throne.

00:03:43.281 --> 00:03:47.811
And when he took the scroll, the
four living beings and the 24

00:03:47.811 --> 00:03:50.331
elders fell down before the lamb.

00:03:51.381 --> 00:03:55.611
Each one had a harp and they held
gold bowls filled with incense, which

00:03:55.616 --> 00:04:00.081
are the prayers of God's people, and
they sang a new song with these words.

00:04:01.401 --> 00:04:07.761
You are worthy to take the scroll and
break it seals and open it for you.

00:04:07.761 --> 00:04:12.561
Were slaughtered and your blood has
ransom, people for God from every

00:04:12.561 --> 00:04:18.381
tribe and language and people and
nation, and you have caused them to

00:04:18.411 --> 00:04:24.351
become a kingdom of priests for our
God, and they will reign on the earth.

00:04:25.671 --> 00:04:30.621
Then I looked again and I heard the
voices of thousands and millions

00:04:30.621 --> 00:04:34.431
of angels around the throne and of
the living beings and the elders,

00:04:34.701 --> 00:04:36.981
and they sang in a mighty chorus.

00:04:37.521 --> 00:04:43.971
Worthy is the lamb who was slaughtered to
receive power and riches, and wisdom, and

00:04:43.971 --> 00:04:47.751
strength and honor and glory and blessing.

00:04:49.701 --> 00:04:54.741
Then I heard every creature in heaven
and on earth and under the earth and

00:04:54.741 --> 00:05:02.601
in the sea, they sang blessing and
honor, and glory and power belong

00:05:02.601 --> 00:05:07.761
to the one sitting on the throne
and to the lamb forever and ever.

00:05:09.681 --> 00:05:12.651
And the four living beings said Amen.

00:05:13.461 --> 00:05:16.881
And the 24 elders fell down
and worshiped the lamb.

00:05:18.531 --> 00:05:23.331
As I watched the lamb broke the first
of the seven seals on the scroll.

00:05:24.381 --> 00:05:29.001
Then I heard one of the four living
beings say with a voice like thunder come.

00:05:30.291 --> 00:05:33.321
I looked up and saw a
white horse standing there.

00:05:34.311 --> 00:05:37.761
Its rider carried a bow and a
crown was placed on his head.

00:05:38.001 --> 00:05:41.241
He rode out to win many
battles and gain the victory.

00:05:42.666 --> 00:05:48.456
When the lamb broke the second seal, I
heard the second living being say, come.

00:05:49.116 --> 00:05:51.516
Then another horse appeared, a red one.

00:05:52.296 --> 00:05:57.816
Its rider was given a mighty sword and the
authority to take peace from the earth and

00:05:57.821 --> 00:06:00.306
there was war and slaughter everywhere.

00:06:02.166 --> 00:06:07.836
When the lamb broke the third seal, I
heard the third living being say, come.

00:06:09.036 --> 00:06:14.376
I looked up and saw a black horse and
its rider was holding a pair of scales

00:06:14.376 --> 00:06:19.386
in his hand and I heard a voice from
among the four living beings say a

00:06:19.386 --> 00:06:24.606
loaf of wheat bread or three loaves
of barley will cost a day's pay and

00:06:24.606 --> 00:06:26.946
don't waste the olive oil and wine.

00:06:28.296 --> 00:06:33.636
When the lamb broke the fourth seal, I
heard the fourth living beings say, come.

00:06:34.776 --> 00:06:38.226
I looked up and saw a horse
whose color was pale green.

00:06:39.366 --> 00:06:43.896
Its rider was named death and
his companion was the grave.

00:06:44.766 --> 00:06:49.566
These two were given authority over one
fourth of the earth to kill with the sword

00:06:49.566 --> 00:06:52.896
and famine and disease and wild animals.

00:06:54.816 --> 00:06:56.886
When the lamb broke the fifth seal.

00:06:57.591 --> 00:07:01.341
I saw under the altar the souls of
all who had been martyred for the

00:07:01.341 --> 00:07:03.711
word of God and for being faithful.

00:07:03.711 --> 00:07:08.391
In their testimony, they shouted
to the Lord and said, oh,

00:07:08.396 --> 00:07:11.541
sovereign Lord, holy and true.

00:07:11.931 --> 00:07:16.671
How long before you judge the people
who belong to this world and avenge our

00:07:16.671 --> 00:07:18.771
blood for what they have done to us?

00:07:20.091 --> 00:07:22.401
Then a white robe was
given to each of them.

00:07:23.436 --> 00:07:27.066
They were told to rest a little
longer until the full number of

00:07:27.066 --> 00:07:30.996
their brothers and sisters, their
fellow servants of Jesus, who were

00:07:30.996 --> 00:07:33.186
to be martyred, had joined them.

00:07:34.326 --> 00:07:39.276
I watched as the Lamb broke the sixth
seal and there was a great earthquake.

00:07:39.626 --> 00:07:46.056
The sun became as dark as black cloth
and the moon became as red as blood.

00:07:47.376 --> 00:07:51.906
Then the stars of the sky fell to
the earth, like green figs falling

00:07:51.906 --> 00:07:54.216
from a tree shaken by a strong wind.

00:07:55.236 --> 00:07:59.856
The sky was rolled up like a scroll,
and all of the mountains and islands

00:07:59.856 --> 00:08:01.566
were moved from their places.

00:08:02.736 --> 00:08:08.316
Then everyone, the kings of the earth,
the rulers, the generals, the wealthy, the

00:08:08.316 --> 00:08:11.406
powerful, and every slave and free person.

00:08:12.291 --> 00:08:17.781
All hid themselves in the caves and among
the rocks of the mountains, and they cried

00:08:17.781 --> 00:08:23.331
to the mountains and the rocks fall on
us and hide us from the face of the one

00:08:23.331 --> 00:08:28.881
who sits on the throne and from the wrath
of the lamb for the great day of their

00:08:28.886 --> 00:08:32.271
wrath has come and who is able to survive?

00:08:33.861 --> 00:08:37.641
Then I saw four angels standing
at the four corners of the earth.

00:08:38.241 --> 00:08:40.221
Holding back the four winds.

00:08:40.221 --> 00:08:44.661
So they did not blow on the earth
or the sea, or even on any tree.

00:08:45.651 --> 00:08:51.021
And I saw another angel coming up from the
east carrying the seal of the living God.

00:08:51.321 --> 00:08:54.531
And he shouted to those four
angels who had been given

00:08:54.531 --> 00:08:56.511
power to harm, land and sea.

00:08:56.721 --> 00:08:57.291
Wait.

00:08:57.801 --> 00:09:02.481
Don't harm the land or the sea or the
trees until we have placed the seal of

00:09:02.481 --> 00:09:04.851
God on the foreheads of his servants.

00:09:06.486 --> 00:09:09.606
And I heard how many were
marked with the seal of God.

00:09:10.566 --> 00:09:14.946
144,000 were sealed from
all the tribes of Israel.

00:09:15.816 --> 00:09:16.776
From Judah.

00:09:17.436 --> 00:09:20.166
12,000 from Ruben.

00:09:20.526 --> 00:09:23.196
12,000 from Gad.

00:09:23.856 --> 00:09:26.346
12,000 from Asher.

00:09:26.466 --> 00:09:28.896
12,000 from nafta.

00:09:28.896 --> 00:09:34.056
Lie 12,000 from man, 12,000.

00:09:35.091 --> 00:09:39.411
From Simeon, 12,000 from Levi.

00:09:39.801 --> 00:09:42.591
12,000 from Zakar.

00:09:43.161 --> 00:09:46.041
12,000 from Zebulon.

00:09:46.821 --> 00:09:54.321
12,000 from Joseph, 12,000
from Benjamin, 12,000.

00:09:56.301 --> 00:09:59.391
After this, I saw a vast crowd too.

00:09:59.391 --> 00:09:59.961
Great to count.

00:10:00.816 --> 00:10:05.286
From every nation and tribe and
people and language standing in front

00:10:05.286 --> 00:10:07.056
of the throne and before the lamb.

00:10:08.346 --> 00:10:13.146
They were clothed in white robes and
held palm branches in their hands, and

00:10:13.146 --> 00:10:15.336
they were shouting with a great roar.

00:10:15.666 --> 00:10:21.186
Salvation comes from our God who
sits on the throne and from the lamb,

00:10:22.476 --> 00:10:26.016
and all the angels were standing
around the throne and around the

00:10:26.016 --> 00:10:27.786
elders and the four living beings.

00:10:28.806 --> 00:10:34.116
And they fell before the throne with their
faces to the ground and worshiped God.

00:10:35.046 --> 00:10:37.536
They sang, amen.

00:10:38.376 --> 00:10:43.146
Blessing and glory and wisdom
and thanksgiving and honor,

00:10:43.416 --> 00:10:47.946
and power and strength belong
to our God forever and ever.

00:10:48.576 --> 00:10:49.236
Amen.

00:10:50.826 --> 00:10:56.196
Then one of the 24 elders asked me,
who are these who are closed in white?

00:10:56.826 --> 00:10:57.756
Where did they come from?

00:10:58.896 --> 00:11:02.586
I said to him, sir, you
are the one who knows.

00:11:03.546 --> 00:11:08.676
Then he said to me, these are the ones
who died in the great tribulation.

00:11:09.696 --> 00:11:13.716
They have washed their robes in the
blood of the lamb and made them white.

00:11:15.096 --> 00:11:19.296
That is why they stand in front of
God's throne and serve him day and

00:11:19.296 --> 00:11:24.216
night in his temple, and he who sits
on the throne will give them shelter.

00:11:25.296 --> 00:11:27.966
They will never again
be hungry or thirsty.

00:11:28.776 --> 00:11:31.386
They will never be scorched
by the heat of the sun.

00:11:31.866 --> 00:11:34.566
For the lamb on the throne
will be their shepherd.

00:11:35.316 --> 00:11:40.356
He will lead them to springs of
life-giving water, and God will

00:11:40.356 --> 00:11:42.546
wipe every tear from their eyes.

00:11:43.806 --> 00:11:48.726
When the lamb broke the seventh seal
on the scroll, there was silence

00:11:48.726 --> 00:11:50.706
throughout heaven for about half an hour.

00:11:52.926 --> 00:11:55.776
This concludes today's
Immer reading experience.

00:11:55.926 --> 00:11:56.916
Thank you for joining us.
