JOHN THE REVELATOR SAW REPENTANT SINNERS DYING LIKE FLIES
THE BOOK OF REVELATION IS A BREATHTAKING DRAMA. From Chapter One to Chapter Twenty-two, except Chapters Two and Three, are in every case a living theatrical production. John saw the Book come alive before his face. There will probably be at least fifty articles in this series about what John saw. Do not miss one of them for they make the Book of Revelation a “Living Picture” and simple for you to teach others and to awake lost souls. The word “saw” or synonyms of that word are used over sixty times in twenty chapters of the Book Of Revelation.
No picture in this revelation is more graphic than the multitude of dying or dead saints, martyred for their faith in Jesus Christ. This vast number are clearly the multitudes that missed the Rapture but repented and became willing sacrifices for Christ. This scene shows up first in Chapters Six almost as soon as the Seven Years of the Great Tribulation begins.
When the Lamb of God had opened the fifth seal, the text tells us what John saw. “I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:” (Revelation 6:9b) They were physically dead but yet alive. They had been martyred but were now awaiting their resurrection. Their death had been so gruesome that even in this glorious place and clearly beyond the instrument of their death they were pained to remember how they died. John saw and heard as they cried aloud. “And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?” (Revelation 6:10) I know of no place in Scripture where death did not hide the suffering that preceded the death. But this is the Great Tribulation of which Jesus said, “For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.” (Saint Matthew 24:21-22)
John saw them given “white robes” and told to rest and await as the carnage continued on the earth. These were the first to turn to Jesus Christ and die by the “One World Religious System” and the government powers of the “One World Order”. These already put to death or martyred for their new found faith could rejoice that death has spared them from the ongoing calamity on earth. John wrote what he saw happen to them. “And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellow servants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.” (Revelation 6:11)
This drama gives us a picturesque view of the hellish treatment awaiting anyone that misses the Rapture and even thinks to be saved. The cost of discipleship today does not touch the cost of discipleship after the Rapture. The devil will have lost the prize of the “Bride of Christ” he so determined to destroy. The remnant repenting will be seen as the last vestige of our present effort to warn the world. He will shake his fist at us in heaven while he slaughters our sons and daughters left behind. “And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.” (Revelation 12:17)
John does not just view their death and the sorrows of such horrible suffering. He sees the triumph also. We move to Chapter Seven and this great multitude that have died are no longer under the altar but caught up to be guest at the wedding supper. They can no longer count on being in the Bride but can be part of the great banquet celebration. They are a multitude from all over the earth. There is no longer a heathen world that has never heard the name of Jesus. Both the lie of Lucifer and the truth of Jesus Christ is known by all the earth’s population.
All nations will know and will be a part of these scenes. “After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.” (Revelation 7:9-10) There will certainly be an incredible number of those that know enough of the Gospel and truth to quickly repent of their unprepared spiritual condition. I believe the vast population of heathens, false religions, and post-Christian churches will now learn the truth and have the privilege for the price of martyrdom for Christ. Do not miss a later scene that John the Revelator saw that we will call “The Guest At the Wedding Supper.”
THIS WORLD IS ABOUT TO SEE THE SHEKINAH GLORY OF JEHOVAH GOD. That Shekinah will first be witnessed by the coalition of Gog and Magog, (Russia, Iran, Turkey, Ethiopia, Libya,etc.) when they march to destroy Israel.

Dear Mr. Chambers,
I was listening to your broadcast the other day and was impressed by the precious HOLY GHOST to write you this important email. Thus saith the HOLY GHOST, “Joseph Chambers is not saved and is on the road to hell. The great deceiver who is none other than satan has slipped you a counterfeit concerning your salvation. The devil has slipped you that “evil religious spirit” that is so prevalent in today’s American churches and elsewhere. Repent and be baptized in the name of the LORD JESUS CHRIST for the remission of your sins today!”
Joseph Chambers does not possess the “SPIRIT OF CHRIST” and as such is not saved and is not of CHRIST as Romans 8:9 clearly states.. Repent today and be saved because Heaven is just too beautiful to miss and Hell is too horrible to be confined in for eternity.
Go to my glorious website ————————and go to the——————– page then go to the “salvation prayer” page and get once and for all time “truly” saved, for when you are truly saved you will then know full well that “once saved-always saved” is Gospel and is the truth concerning God’s so great salvation. See John 5:24, John 3:36, 1 John 5:11-13.
Don’t let the devil deceive you any longer because at your age you want to be sure of your salvation, not hope so or think so but “know so”! God’s salvation is a “know so” salvation. In the name of JESUS and in the power of the shed BLOOD OF JESUS I curse every evil religious spirit and command you devils to go! Amen! JESUS BLOOD REDEEMS! JESUS BLOOD REDEEMS!
ON THE BEHALF OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST,

Hi there;
My Bible tells me there is one Judge and it’s not you.
It also so says be careful how you judge, because by the same measure, you will be judged.
Joseph Chambers preaches some “hard” messages, maybe your spirit is reacting to his words.
Be aware…………Ken

Great article Dr. Chambers! There have always been the detractors, mal-contents, hypocrites to voice their obnoxious opinions. They will have their own “special” rewards. Please keep up the good work. You and your writings are a great, great blessing to me.
Blessings,

JC Ireson,
Those are words of an apostate. Your pride blinds you, and just so you know – pride cometh before destruction.
Great article Brother Chambers, it seems you made the Devil angry with this one, and you have about 50 more coming…Amen! God Bless PawCreek Ministries.

Very good article Ps Chambers except for the continual unscriptural,& actually demonic word shekinah that you so love to use. You possibly have an unteachable spirit which is your Achilles heel

Hello Pastor Joseph.
Once again you gave us a great analysis of Revelation. I found your view on how the church and Trib saints have a different destiny and postition in God’s Kingdom very interesting and it cleared up some questions I had about this very thing. Thanks!
I am greatly looking forward to the rest of the series. The thing is, my friend, with the time as short as it is, we may be gone before you finish!
Regarding what J.C. Ireson said in his post, I am sure he heard from some “spirit,” but since the evidence shows you certainly believe in the true Jesus revealed by the Bible you are saved despite his assertion to the contrary! I, too, do not believe in OSAS, but I would never have the nerve to declare that someone who does is unsaved. That would be arrogantly judgmental on my part, in my opinion.
Now in my view, it is true that no one can pluck someone from Jesus’ hand (John 10:28), but there is nothing that says a person can’t walk away on their own. For example, Jesus said that someone who endures to the end despite persecution will be saved (Matthew 10:22). A similar theme about endurance is repeated in John 6:27. If one is automatically saved forever upon their initial belief in Jesus, why mention the need for endurance if we can just coast after that with no further effort? But, the OSAS people have their arguments, many admittedly pretty good and I’m not going to question the fidelity of their faith.
And why would Paul be so concerned about the Galatians getting off-track going back to a works-based salvation unless he was worried about them getting lost?
Note To Deborah and Jamie regarding the previous post: Thanks for your comments regarding my thoughts about how messed up the organized church is today. My biggest surprise is how fast it got so bad! Never thought I’d see anything like it. It’s very sad and tragic but certainly right on the prophetic timeline. However Jesus is faithful even it these churches are not!
Mark Steiner
I am thankful that a glorious future awaits those who have NOT yet come to Jesus by faith. I would prefer they come to Jesus before the harpazo, not after.
Like Bro. Wood said it is not our place to determine who is saved. Salvation is a personal matter between the believe and his LORD. All who know Jesus need to remember that it is by grace you are saved through faith – it is a gift of God – not of our own doings: Ephesians 2:8-9.
For Old Testament saints, all that was required was that they belived God. Many who lived before the Cross did not believe God. Read Hebrews 11 and recall the examples of Abel, Enoch, Noah etc. who had the same sin nature you and I have but who put their trust in God. Even Nebuchadnezzar got right with the King of heaven as is clearly stated in Daniel 4:34-37. Salvation is a simple matter, God made it so, but nothing to be taken lightly. It involves walking with He Who saved you. There is no other way.

Dear Pastor
Hi JC Ireson (yes i visited your site)
On the OSAS [point of view]
Where in the bible does it use the term “Once saved always Saved”. Some of the Prodigal Sons do not return. Some tragically Blaspheme the Holy Spirit. Free will is an absolute in God’s plan, Abraham’s faith was of his own volition. Judas chose poorly, so did Samuel. The list goes on, yes we can mess up and repent and the Lord’s mercy is there. But some loose themselves as they try to save themselves.
The sinners prayer is nice at your site, funny i just don’t remember it anywhere in the bible.
The Lord just said repent and believe in me. We need to preach repentance, this is where Pastor Chambers shines and you don’t. Vanity and Human folly abound then and even more today. No sign shall be given except the sign of Jonah…Jonah 2:8 For by lying vanities they forsake their own mercy. Usually people think big fish, but for me, i think there is a lot of vanity in this world.
OSAS is a lying vanity, just like “surely you won’t die” remember God will not be mocked. and a half truth is a whole lie. Most parents would never tell their children do what ever you want, so why do you JC Ireson ?
And i do know Pastor Chambers believes he’s saved i believe i am saved too :o)
Whats your point.
God Bless

Dear Pastor Chambers,
I’m so glad you’re doing this Revelation series. There couldn’t be a better time because we are right on the very threshold of it all taking place.
Please keep blessing us with these truthful messages and ignore those with strange, undiscerning minds that say you are judging. Funny, I have read hundreds of your writings and have never heard you judge anyone yet haha !
Thank you once more ! Bill

Respected Mr.JC Ireson Gospel Mission International,
We would like to read a more elaborate post of yours, with more to the point Bible Quotes.
We do not follow Pastor Chambers,
we follow the Bible WHO IS THE WORD OF GOD WHO IS JESUS-CHRIST HIMSELF.
If Pastor Chambers does err, we would point it out to him according to Apostle Paul’ s recommendations for the rebuking of an elder.
However your condemnation of Pastor Chambers is a little too hasty, for the point you made
is a little blurry at best.
We do not condemn the OSAS Doctrine adherents, we want only to stay on the safe side and
work out our own salvation with fear and trembling; and to remember that there is such a thing
as The Trampling OF THE HOLY BLOOD OF SALVATION.
We are Berean-like eager for the further exposition of your beliefs.

JC Ireson Please do us all a favor and go and read your bible. You are now the judge and jurie and who appointed you? Not Jesus! He loves all people and proved it by dying for all. Jesus would never give such an arrogant and harsh command. How dare you try and do deliverance on anyone? Go read 1 cor13

Dear JC Ireson-Blood ransomed
Presuming to speak for the Holy Spirit, the Lord and giver of Life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son and who spoke through the prophets has no part of you.
You act as an accuser of the brethren, which is what Scripture tells us Satan does. Disagreeing with interpretation, attempting to set forth truth is one thing – calling yourself “blood saved” and speaking “on behalf of the Lord Jesus” is arrogance, pride, conceit and a lot of other sins of which I hope you repent as we all pray for God to forgive you for daring to speak in His name without any authority.
Jesus gave His apostles the authority and they bestowed it on their successors. You are not one of them.

Dear Pastor

The blood, death, resurrection and the redemption of the Lord Jesus is the requirement to forgiveness of sins. The Bible says that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in the Lord Jesus’ name among all nations.
If you repent your sins and believe on the Lord Jesus, so God forgiven your sins and gives participation in the eternal life with Him. The Bible says: If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Repentance contains also the thought and act to forsake sins and changing the life according to the will of God. The Bible says: For with the heart man believes to righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made to salvation. That means to live publicly as Jesus’ disciples obeying the word of God.
When you have received the salvation in the Lord Jesus by grace of God, the Bible says you that God delivered you from the power of darkness, and has translated you into the Kingdom of his dear Son. In whom you have redemption through the blood of the Lord Jesus, and the forgiveness of sin.
You have got forgiveness of sins for the sake that Jesus lived holy life for you; fulfilling the law for you; Jesus poured out His blood for you in the Calvary; Jesus died on the cross for you; Jesus resurrected to His Father, because He had fulfilled your salvation operation on the earth.
The salvation is the perfect gift of God for you. For by grace of God you are saved through faith, and not by your works, because it is the gift of God, not by works of a man, lest any man should boast.
