1Co 12:6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is same God which worketh all in all.] Rev 7:3 Saying, Hurt not earth, neither sea, nor trees, till we have sealed servants of our God in their foreheads. The plagues will not start untill sealing of 144,000. Rev 7:4 And I heard number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all tribes of children of Israel. [ref; Rev_14:1, Rev_14:3] As for tribes of Israel there are actually 13 to speak of. The Tribes; Juda, Reuben, Gad, Aser, Nepthalim, Manasses, Simeon, Levi, Issachar, Zabulon, Joseph, Benjamin. Can you see one thats missing from this list? Its Tribe of Dan. [Ref; Exo_1:2-4; Num_1:4-15, Num_10:14-27, Num_13:4-16.] The Levi Tribe is actually not a tribe but an administration of Religious matters, The Priest of other twelve tribes. [Ref; Gen 49:16 Dan shall judge his people, as one of tribes of Israel. Gen 49:17 Dan shall be a serpent by way, an adder in path, that biteth horse heels, so that his rider shall fall backward.] (1Ki_12:29). Dan's genealogy is not given in 1 Chronicles 2-12. Its unsettled state audits connection with far N. Dan, headquarters of idolatry, may have caused loss of genealogy. Dan is omitted among sealed in Revelation 7 as having been first to lapse into idolatry, for which cause Ephraim also is omitted (Judges 17; Hos_4:17) and Joseph substituted. Arethas of 10th century suggests that Dan's omission is because Antichrist is to be from him, or else to be his tool (compare Gen_49:17; Jer_8:16; Amo_8:14), as there was a Judas among twelve. Jacob's prophecy, "Dan shall be a serpent in way, ... that biteth horse heels, so that his rider shall fall backward," alludes primarily to Dan's local position in front of royal Judah;. end section 5.

“the fourth part of earth' “25 %” will fall by starvation, war and beasts. Those that have refused God. “Hell followed with him.” Destination. Rev 6:9 thru 6:11 is speaking of those who were marytered then and now and thoses to come. Today there are many that are being killed for their testimony of Jesus. Day after day I recieve mail telling of Christians being killed for passing out Bibles or witnessing about Jesus. Prophecy is being fulfilled. Rev 6:9 And when he had opened fifth seal, I saw under altar souls of them that were slain for word of God, and for testimony which they held: This phrase is future prophecy.“until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.” Reference. Rev_7:14, Rev_13:15, Rev_17:6; Mat_10:21, Mat_23:34, Mat_23:35; Joh_16:2; Heb_11:40. Those awaiting Justice.”How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on earth?” Isa 26:21 For, behold, LORD cometh out of his place to punish inhabitants of earth for their iniquity: earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain. Isa 29:6 Thou shalt be visited of LORD of hosts with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and flame of devouring fire.
