"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;"(Revelation 6:15).
"Kings of the Earth" The opening of the 6th seal releases things in the earth that are beyond our comprehension. Seals are just that, seals, they keep things sealed until God's time! There are 7 seals, when the 7th seal is opened it releases 7 Angels with 7 Trumpets to sound, each releasing something else into the earth. Once the 7th Trumpet sounds then 7 Vials (containers) are released, each having something new in store once poured out upon the Earth!!! We, the born again body of Christ are not on earth at this time, we have been caught away, prior to the beginning of the 7 year tribulation. America is basically a nation made up of many nations within a nation, but in our inception, we were Europeans looking for somewhere to worship freely and escape the ridiculous burden of greedy leaders taxing the people to death. Some ask, "Is America in the Bible", to be perfectly honest with you, NO, but YES because there are hundreds of references to "NATIONS", plural. We are a nation and will most certainly be involved in The Battle of Armageddon, because we already have troops in the eastern hemisphere. Since we became the "World Peace Keepers", America has had as many as a million troops stationed on foreign soil and never less than 200,000 in as many as 150 countries which covers 75% of the world. The USA has had and still does have a lot military installations around the world at various times.
(Military Land & Assets - The Department of Defense notes that the DOD owns "More than 600,000 individual buildings & structures at more than 6,000 locations on more than 30 million acres of land" Deployment Facts)
I know that our president keeps telling us that he will bring our troops home but that's not going to happen because American Troops will be involved in Armageddon so our troops will remain in place, to some level, as they have for many decades. The numbers may vary from time to time but they are not coming home as a whole. (Feel free to fact check) The only American troops that won't be at Armageddon as part of the American Military are the saved ones that get caught away when Jesus comes for his blood washed church. We that are born again will be with Christ, including the born again troops, when He returns to planet earth literally to the Mount from which He ascended and He will wage war with the "armies of the WORLD" and the anti-christ. "And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS."(Revelation 19:14-16). This will not be a politically controlled war for the good of the wicked, wealthy leaders of the world to line their pockets with money gained from the wars of the world. I'm sorry to say it, but someone is always wealthy after a war, some conflicts are obviously very needful for our safety but some are just politics as usual. If you want to know who benefits from "War", just follow the money trail!! Solomon said that "money answers all things" (Ecc 10:19) but the wars of late against the terrorist laden lands in the east are needful.... The Battle of Armageddon will be led, fought and won by Jesus Christ The Lord!!!! There won't be any ballots to argue over, no TV commercials telling lies about someone or something to gain votes. The political chaos will be over and we will rule with King Jesus for a thousand years. "And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years."(Revelation 20:4) The 1000 year reign begins at the end of the seven year tribulation after Armageddon, we will then have "Peace on Earth".

Hanging with the Angels!!!
"And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things. Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God."(Revelation 22:8)
"Angels in the Book of Revelation". The word "Angel" or "Angels" is found 76 times in this fascinating book. God uses the Angelic force of Heaven that He created to announce, enforce and bring to pass all of the amazing things in this time frame. The Angels were so awesome and powerful that John fell down to worship at one's feet but the Angel said "no" and referred to John as his fellow servant. We are saved, forgiven and under the authority of God so we are their fellow servants!!! You talk about super heroes, these guys invented the concept!!! He would not allow John to worship him because we only worship God and are to worship no one but God Himself!! If you will read the entire book of Revelation and highlight every verse that has the word Angel in it, your last book in the Bible will be very colorful. We find Angels flying through the heavens making declarations, one declaring the Gospel of the Kingdom, blowing trumpets that release the wrath of God, pouring out vials on the earth!! "And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:"(Revelation 10:1) These Angels are powerful, beyond our comprehension and our fellow servants to do good and stop evil in our lives. As we continue reading we find one Angel "standing on the sea and the earth", may I say, large and in charge!! "And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory."(Revelation 18:1) This Angel is so powerful, his glory lights the entire earth!! The circumference of the earth at the equator is 24,901.55 miles (40,075.16 kilometers). But, if you measure the earth through the poles the circumference is a bit shorter - 24,859.82 miles (40,008 km). The earth is a tad wider than it is tall, giving it a slight bulge at the equator. This shape is known as an ellipsoid or more properly, geoid (earth-like). This is a big place to be lighting up all by your lonesome. We have some pretty awesome fellow servants watching over us 24/7. I'm really excited over the fact that I have these created beings of God taking care of me, my family and all my stuff. It's just plain cool!!

WOW!!
"For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways."(Psalm 91:11)
"He shall Give" Psalm 91 is one of the anchor chapters in the Boatner family, especially this verse about Angels!! They have been given "charge" over us to keep us. The word "charge" in the Hebrew means, to "enjoin" - to direct or impose by authoritative order. In other words, "they've got this", this being "us". By the direct command of God, they have us under watch care 24/7!! It's not possible for us to even grasp how many times per day they protect us from harm, danger and any evil that tries to come against us. Many times in Israel's history they were about to be taken over by the enemy but God overpowered the enemy by His Angels. "For I will defend this city, to save it, for mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake. And it came to pass that night, that the Angel of the LORD went out, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians an hundred fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses."(2 Kings 19:34-35)
I'm glad I'm in the Lord's army and not His opponent, God doesn't have a worth adversary. "He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty."(Psalm 91:1) The word "Almighty" here describes our God, He is Almighty, no foe can withstand a his mighty power. It may look bleak at times in your life, it may even look impossible, overwhelming and beyond your comprehension how God will get you past the mountain in your path. Have no fear, just trust that God has His Angelic host there for you to get you to your expected end. "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end."(Jeremiah 29:11). God uses Angels as agents of change and protectors of the righteous path. "But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool? Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?"(Hebrews 1:13-14). If you can grasp the vast power of understanding that God has Angels that "minister" to us. The word minister means a "personal aide that offers service", servants for the heirs of salvation!!! We are heirs of salvation with servants from heaven to serve us as we serve Jesus Christ!!

Dark Days!!
The sun shines every day of our lives, it's brightest when there is not a cloud in the sky! Some days the sun is dimmed by a cloud drifting across the landscape above us. But some days it's almost completely darken by thick rolling storm clouds!!! We are usually anxious by the weather reports bringing us warnings of the trouble that is coming our way at any moment. We are expressing our fears on FB, Twitter, via text and email to anyone that will read them, if they dare. Fear and darkness is a virus that spreads with amazing speed, out of control in moments!!! Human emotion can go into avalanche mode at the sighting of the first storm cloud. Some people crash at the first clap of thunder, others can hold out until they are the last thing standing. Please try to remember that everyday is not a dark day and that Jesus is the Light of the world. He is completely oblivious to the darkness so just lean on and follow Him. He will show you the way to safety.
"Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us, To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace." (Luke 1:78-79 KJV)

Praise Protection!!!
Praise Protection!!!
When you give Praise to God it brings His protection into your life because He inhabits the praise of His people!!! If you are not sure how to praise Him, just say "Thank You, Lord" or just clap your hands. The clapping of the hands is a form of Praise in the Bible that everyone should be comfortable with since it is part of our culture. Start your day with a thank you and a hand clap, the Spirit will respond!!

"Roadblocks?"
Whatever is blocking you from fulfilling God's plans in your life, God wants to move it today!!
"And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them."(Mark 11:22-24 KJV)

"Thou shalt INCREASE my greatness"
When you trust in someone other than God to bring your goals to pass you will be a failure!! "They" can't bring your visions, hopes and dreams to pass. If you trust in them, "they" will only bring you disappointment. "Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side."(Psalm 71:21) The word "increase" means to multiply what you have in your life. "There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?" (John 6:9) The young boy put his 5 loaves and 2 fish in the hands of Jesus and all of a sudden his handful increased to a whole new level!! If you would like to move to a new level, just put your handful in the hands of Jesus by Faith!! If somehow you can grasp this truth in your Spirit, you will see God do something new and fresh in your life!!
