Who are these 7 that Prince wants to “smoke” or kill? With the passing of Prince this week I’ve decided to give the interpretation to one of his more cryptic songs. The symbolism in both music and some of the more cryptic books of scripture like Isaiah is the same. This is how I know what the deeper meaning of this song is. When you understand the symbolism involved here you will see that this is a song that rejoices in the blood of the prophets being spilt. So who are these 7 that Prince wants to “smoke” or kill? They are seven prophets; each of which is set at the head of a dispensation of time. They are also known as - - The seven thunders (Revelation 10:3-4) - The seven lightenings (Job 38:35 Psalms 77:18 Revelation 4:5 D&C 43:22) - The seven lamps (Revelation 4:5) - The seven stars (Revelation 1:16,20) - The seven Spirits (Revelation 1:4) - The seven pillars (Proverbs 9:1 Job 26:11) - The seven horns (Revelation 5:6) - The seven angels (Revelation 15:1,6-8 D&C 77:12) The seven eyes of the Lord (Revelation 5:6 Zechariah 3:9 Zechariah 4:10) The seventh of these prophets / angels is Michael who also presides. (D&C 88:112 D&C 107:94) The evil spirits who inspire modern music lyrics speak much of a battle that will take place at the end of the millennium wherein they once again will attempt to dethrone God. In this battle Satan gathers together his armies, even the hosts of hell. Michael the arch angel also gathers together his armies, even the hosts of heaven. In this battle the devil and his armies are defeated and cast out. (D&C 88:112-115) These evil spirits remember the love that existed in heaven and they desperately want to regain this love by returning. But something stands in their way, it is the the seven thunders and the hosts of heaven, led by the archangel Michael. This is why in this song they say - “All 7 and we’ll watch them fall They stand in the way of love And we will smoke them all” The only way for these fallen spirits to return to heaven is for them to “smoke” the seven thunders. Some of the seven thunders / prophets ended their mortal lives by becoming martyrs. This song speaks of this - “And in the distance six others will curse me But that’s alright For I will watch them fall One, two, three, four, five, six, seven” Be very careful what lyrics you sing along with. What are you saying when you sing along with - “All seven and we’ll watch them fall They stand in the way of love And we will smoke them all” Are you not joining in with the rejoicing of these evil spirits at the martyrdom of the prophets although unwittingly? This is one of the grand tricks of the adversary; to get the children of God, even righteous ones, to sing things that are very offensive to God. What are you singing along with? We see over and over again very talented people like Prince used by Lucifer to sing these siren songs to the world. Their lives are sad, tragic, and nothing to envy. Then when they have outlived their usefulness to Lucifer he destroys them. It is a sad and cruel cycle. “And thus we see the end of him who perverteth the ways of the Lord; and thus we see that the devil will not support his children at the last day, but doth speedily drag them down to hell.” Alma 30:60

After hearing the seven thunders, John is about to write them down and is immediately told to seal them up. If he were to write the contents of the prophetic thunders we would likely be reading details of more of God’s dealings with the earth and possibly the further persecution of the saints. It seems that God’s desire to withhold these thunders was for a reason and instead of trying to discern what the contents of the thunders might be, it seems more helpful to ask the question, "why are they sealed up?" I believe the answer is found within the words “no more delay”.  The saints are crying out for justice, the earth is groaning for the revealing of the sons of God and through this angel, God is saying, “no more delay”. My observations of these verses make me wonder if the sealing up relates to the days being cut short, that Jesus proclaimed to his disciples in Mathew 24:22.  The trumpet, the last trumpet, the seventh trumpet is about to be blown and the mystery of God will be fulfilled.
