Revelation 9:4
"They were commanded not to harm the grass of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree, but only those men who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads."
Do you have the seal of God on your forehead? Are you sealed by the Spirit of the Living God? If you are not, then these plagues, woes, and the wrath of God will be poured out upon you!
The scriptures say that those who are stung by these locusts coming up from the bottomless pit will sting those who are not sealed by God and torment them for five months and they will seek death because of the pain, but even death will flee from them!
We can't really imagine what this will be like, but these end-time judgments of God will become a reality one day, the scriptures will be fulfilled, that's for sure! And our responsibility is to be prepared right now! To be ready for whatever comes, spiritually or physically!
When God judged Pharaoh and his people, all the plagues were sent upon the whole land of Egypt, including the house of Pharaoh! The city of Goshen was not that far from the center of Egypt, in the land of Rameses, and God's judgments went through the entire region of Egypt, which contained at least ten cities!
God's judgments don't just fall upon the wicked but the righteous too! So we must be covered by the blood of Jesus, the cloud of His presence, filled and sealed with His Spirit, in order to be protected by God when His judgment falls!
God said that He would treat the city of Goshen differently than the others, because His people lived there!
Exodus 8:22-23
"And in that day I will set apart the land of Goshen, in which My people dwell, that no swarms of flies shall be there, in order that you may know that I am the Lord in the midst of the land. I will make a difference between My people and your people. Tomorrow this sign shall be."
And of course we know the last judgment of God upon Pharaoh and the land of Egypt, was the Lord God Himself passing through, to kill all the firstborn, but the Israelites were protected because the blood of the lamb was on the door posts of their houses! Oh how much we need the blood of the Lamb of God, Jesus the Christ to be upon the doors of our hearts and minds today!
Exodus 12:12-13
‘For I will pass through the land of Egypt on that night, and will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the Lord. Now the blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you; and the plague shall not be on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.
This was a very strong judgment, hitting right at the heart of the Egyptian people, their firstborn children, after this judgment a great cry went up from all the cities of Egypt and Pharaoh let God's people go. Let us humble ourselves before a mighty God that we be protected from all pestilence, disease, plagues, judgments, and His great wrath!
When the great judgments of God fall upon this country and the countries of this earth today, may the God of Heaven and earth see the blood of His Son Jesus upon us and pass us by!!!!
Humbled In God's Sight,
