The document discusses the seals, trumpets, and prophecies in Revelation and their relation to the Christian era. It provides analysis of the meaning behind the imagery in the seals, such as the four horsemen representing conditions on Earth. The seals are part of the first chiasm and are concurrent prophecies covering the entire Christian era. A parenthetical in chapter 7 counts the believers of Israel and the Gentile church before the seventh seal is opened.

This Siddur has been a long and difficult work taking more then 2 years to arrive at this revision. The original concept of this Siddur was to create a custom Siddur for our own congregation that we could use for morning prayers and our Erev Shabbat and Shabbat services. I actually did not collaborate with anyone and I was quite astonished that anyone else would be interested in this work. In my search for a Siddur for our congregation, I was confronted with a serious problem in that most of the Siddurim available to us had shortcomings that I wanted to correct or avoid. All of the Orthodox Jewish Siddurim contained prayers and blessings that I did not wish to use and I did not even want them in the Siddur. The Messianic Jewish Siddurim did not have many of these objectionable prayers and blessings but they also did not have morning prayers and they did not contain the complete Amidah. Our congregation is made up mostly of non-Jewish Believers and I did not wish to confuse them with the Orthodox Jewish material however, I wanted to maintain the “flavor” of a proper Siddur.
There are many people out there who want to start keeping the Feasts of YaHuWaH, but they don't know where to start.
Many write to me asking about how they can keep the Passover without attending a Jewish Synagogue.
Well, here is the answer! I have put together a Renewed Covenant Passover Haggadah in English for beginners and I have removed all traditions that do not line up with scripture.
Also, the Haggadah has the true name of the Father, YaHuWaH and the son Yahuwshuwa ha'Mashiyach!

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

2. %πτα (hepta) seven — Greek: σφραγιt
Greek: ε ς (sphragis) seals
The Seals are in the 1st Chiasm
PROPHECY SUBJECT
‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐
A ch. 2‐3 The Seven Churches The Church
B ch. 6 The Seven Seals Christian era trials
C ch. 7:4‐8 The 144,000 12 Tribes of Israel
C ch. 7:9‐14 A Great Multitude Gentile Church
B ch. 8‐9 The Seven Trumpets Christian Era trials
A ch. 11 The Two Witnesses The Church
Revelation’s prophecies are concurrent.
All being fulfilled during the Christian era.
3. The four horsemen are God the Father’s figurative view
of conditions on Earth during the Christian era.
The First Horseman
Revelation 6:12 “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. And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had
a bow (wrong weapon so this is not Jesus); and a crown was given unto him
(bad governmental leaders that people gladly followed throughout the
Christian era): and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.”
The Second Horseman
Revelation 6:34 “And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the
second beast say, Come and see. And there went out another horse that
was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from
the earth (enmity between peoples throughout the Christian era), and that
they should kill one another (murders, genocide, etc. during the Christian
Era.): and there was given unto him a great sword.”
4. The Third Horseman
Revelation 6:56 “And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third
beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat
on him had a pair of balances in his hand (for counting money, ie., a
materialistic system). And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say,
A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny
(a denarion, Gr., δηνα tριον, actually a day’s wage for the working man. Food
will be expensive for the poor throughout the Christian era); and see thou
hurt not the oil and the wine” (oil and wine are food for the rich. “So the rich
get richer and the poor get poorer, ain’t we got fun?”).
The Fourth Horseman
Revelation 6:78 “And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice
of the fourth beast say, Come and see. And I looked, and behold a pale
horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him.
And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill
with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the
earth.” (a forth part because the other three parts were killed by the other
three messengers)
6. Revelation 6:12‐17 continued . . .
physical and spiritual, Jer 24:110, so leaders of the Church no longer teach
the truth). And the heaven (in Gr: oranous, actually the sky) departed as a
scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were
moved out of their places. 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; And said to the mountains and rocks, ‘Fall on us, and
hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath
of the Lamb: For the great day of his wrath is come (the return of Jesus, Rev
19:1116); and who shall be able to stand?’”
The Seventh seal does not open next.
A full count of the Christian era believers,
both Jew and the Gentile,
must be taken first.
7. Chapter 7 is a Parenthetic
The 144,000
Revelation 7:110 “And after these things I saw four angels standing on the
four corners of the earth (The four horseman of Rev 6), holding the four
winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the
sea, nor on any tree. And I saw another angel ascending from the east
(Jesus), having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to
the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, Saying,
Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the
servants of our God in their foreheads (an invisible spiritual seal seen only
in the spiritual world). And I heard the number of them which were sealed:
and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand (a
figurative number signifying all of physical Israel that is saved during the
Christian era) of all the tribes of the children of Israel.
“Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben
were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve
thousand. Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of
Nepthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were
sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve
9. Revelation 7:11‐17 continued . . .
“And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, ‘What are these which
are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?’ And I said unto him,
‘Sir, thou knowest.’ And he said to me, ‘These are they which came out of
great tribulation (i.e., the Christian era), and have washed their robes, and
made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore are they before the
throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that
sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them. They shall hunger no more,
neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.
For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall
lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all
tears from their eyes.’”
The Seventh Seal Isn’t Opened until after the Account
Of the 144,000 and Gentile Church, but Why?
Revelation 8:1 “And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence
in heaven about the space of half an hour.”
10. Half an hour in dayyears is
about a week.
So how long did it take the Lord
to make the first heaven and Earth?
A “half an hour” or about a week.
So shouldn’t it take the Lord about half an hour
to make the new heaven and the new Earth.
Important Note: Revelation 7 and 10 are parenthetics. Both tell of events
that must be fulfilled just before the end of Creation as we know it. They
have to appear where they do, all believers must be included, because the
eternal kingdom of God follows immediately.
