If you have been consistently reading the posts of F.B’s commentary on the Book of Revelation, then, by now, you should be walking in a new Christian paradigm.  I studied the Book of Revelation for more than thirty years before finally reading F.B.’s book.  Each commentary I read interpreted the symbols of Revelation in different ways.  Each interpreted the past or predicted the future differently.  All led me nowhere and over the course of my life I became more frustrated with the book.

Perhaps the most frustrating of all verses to me was the book’s very first verse which reads, “The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to show unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and revealed it by his angel unto his servant John.”   I remember yelling out to myself (or the LORD, maybe both), “How can these things shortly come to pass?  It’s been almost two thousand years since these words were written!”  Now I understand my problem.  I had been thinking in the wrong paradigm.  I had always learned and thought that Revelation predicted the future when it was written. 

I knew that there were various schools of thought concerning this book from the very beginning of my walk with Christ.  In 1978, during my second year of knowing salvation, I studied the book in Bible school under the President of my Bible college, Glenn Bourne.  Mr. Bourne primarily taught us using notes from his forthcoming  book, Tower of Truth.  In that book’s introduction he writes, “Some study this Book with the idea that it is a history book.  They look to the history of John’s day for their understanding.  Others believe this Book is an outline of history beginning at the time of Christ’s first coming and  continuing until His return.  Still others think this book is primarily prophetic and are looking to the future for the fulfillment of its message.”  (Glenn H. Bourne, Tower of Truth, Litho Printers, 1982, p. ix)

Notice that each primary method for understanding the Book of Revelation deals with explaining it naturally, whether that explanation is past, present, or future.  But, Jesus taught us that his words are spiritual.  This is true for all of Scripture and no less for Revelation.  In order to comprehend this book we must approach it spiritually.  This is exactly what F.B. did when he sought God for its interpretation.  Over and over and over again the Holy Spirit sent him to other books of the Bible and to various translations of the Bible in order to decipher a particular word or phrase in Revelation.  As he obediently did that, the LORD revealed a consistent spiritual message to him.

The Book of Revelation is Christ’s love letter to his bride wherein he teaches her to come out of Babylon (false religion, the beast, the false prophet, the false church made with men’s hands) by practicing righteousness.  She (we, hopefully) does this through the process of repenting of her sins, thus cleansing herself continually with his Word.  Beloved, we have pursued the wrong paradigm in our study of this very prophetic book.  Jesus did not write it to prophesy the future.  He wrote it to prophesy (speak God’s truth concerning) the process of his bride overcoming the world so that she will be fit to rule the world with him when he comes again.

Revelation 15:4

Who shall not fear, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy; for all the nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy righteous acts have been made manifest.

15:4

Who will not fear, O Lord, and glorify Your name?

for thou only art holy; If we are to be Holy as He is Holy, (I Peter 1:15,16) Perfect as He is Perfect, (Philippians 3:15) Righteous, as He is Righteous, (I John 3:7) then we must practice righteousness, to become righteous as He is righteous, Holy as He is Holy (I John 3:7).

For all the nations (Gentiles) shall come and worship before You; For Your righteous acts have been revealed. (They wore, Fine Linen, white Robes of Righteousness. Note: Revelation 6:11;)

Revelation 19:8;

And it was given to her that she should array herself in fine linen, bright and pure: for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints

Revelation 15:5

And after these things I saw, and the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened:

15:5

And after these things I saw, and the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony (We, the corporate body, His body, the true church, are the Temple of God and house the testimony of Jesus written on our hearts.)  in heaven was opened: (I Understood)

Revelation 15:6

and there came out from the temple the seven angels that had the seven plagues, arrayed with [precious] stone, pure [and] bright, and girded about their breasts with golden girdles.

15:6

and there came out from the temple the seven angels that had the seven (Perfect) plagues, clothed in pure (Unadulterated)  and bright, (Light) and girded (Clothed in Truth) about their breasts with golden girdles. (Breastplates of Righteousness.) (NOTE: Revelation 9:20; 11:6; 15:1,8; 16:9; 18:4)

Revelation 15:7

And one of the four living creatures gave unto the seven angels seven golden bowls full of the wrath of God, who lives for ever and ever.

15:7

And one of the four living creatures (The four standards of Israel) (NOTE: Revelation 4:6,7; 14:3) gave to the seven angels seven (Perfect) golden (Godly thinking)

bowls (Temple vessels, A Shallow cup,) (Gal. 2:20; Matthew 26:39) (Note: Revelation 15:7; 16:1; 17:1; 21:9)

full of the wrath of God, (God’s fire to burn away all that is not of Him) who lives forever and ever. Jesus drank this cup for us, so we would not have to.

Revelation 15:8

And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power; and none was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were finished.

15:8

And the temple was filled with smoke (By-product of God’s glory. “Smoke speaks of blinding power whether for good or evil. Darkness blinds our understanding because of the wrong choices we have made in PRIDE and Vanity.)

from the glory of God, and from His power; (Grace) and none was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues (Godly Judgments, to bring about our own spiritual death of the old bestial man, that we might see.)

of the seven angels  were finished.

Paul, had to be blinded by the Light, in order to have the scales removed from his eyes, Acts 9:1-22. Sampson also was blinded, Judges 16:21; so that they might see the spiritual. We are blinded by the smoke, filling us, His true Temple, in order to be led by God, wherein He directs our steps.

Isaiah 10:24,25;24  Therefore thus says the Lord God of hosts: “O My people, who dwell in Zion, do not be afraid of the Assyrian. He shall strike you with a rod and lift up his staff against you, in the manner of Egypt.25 For yet a very little while and the indignation will cease, as will My anger in their destruction. (Isaiah 26:20 Come, my people, enter into your chambers and shut your doors about you: hide yourself for a little moment, [Secret place with God, where we become intimate with Him to KNOW Him.], until the indignation runs its course.)

Revelation 12:3

And there was seen another sign in heaven: and behold, a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his heads seven diadems.

12:3

And there was seen another sign in heaven: and behold, a great (That which has power) red (Not scarlet, the color of blood, he makes his lies seem like Truth.) dragon, (The Mythical monster of our imagination, great deceiver, Satan, the father of all lies.)

having seven (# of Perfection) heads (Where we think) and ten horns, (Power of the Law of Works) and on his heads (Where we think) seven diadems. (Self placed crowns of thinking, of how to become perfect.)                

seven heads and Ten horns total seventeen [17].

This is trying to reach perfection

Through The works of the Law.

Hebrews 7:19; For the law made nothing perfect…

Satan’s Counterfeit of the number 17

7 (# of perfection) & 10 (# of the works of the Law) = 17

The True number Seventeen means: Old things pass away, all things become new.) [#17] is the only number that can be All God All man, at the same time. 1,  is the number of God,   7,   is the divine, perfect, complete, endless, number of God and covenant; 1 from 7 = 6,  the number of man,  1 + 7 = 8,  the number of resurrection and new beginnings,  1 + 2 = 3, + 3 = 6, + 4 = 10, + 5 = 15, + 6 = 21, etc. through 17 equals 153. We find this number in John 21:11,”Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land, full of large fish, a hundred and fifty three; and although there were so many the net was not torn.” Fish represents souls. This number, (153) represents the culmination of souls that are the Elect, the Remnant, the Chosen. 17 is also the number in which all things become new through Gods Grace, II Corinthians 5:17 (5, of course, is the number of grace) “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature, old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” If you’ll recall Abram’s name was changed in Genesis 17:5 to Abraham. 17 is the only number that can do all of that. Being restored to God’s fellowship by walking in the Light is practicing righteousness. This is where (Restored to the Light) the power of God’s Grace flows, to make our works His works. This is the only way to be perfect here on Earth, for then we are righteous as He is righteous, (I John 3:7) and not a righteousness of our own derived from the Law. (Philippians 3:9; Read, Romans 10: 1, -11.) (NOTE: Revelation 13:1,2; 16:8; 17:3,7)

Revelation 12:4

And his tail swept away the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stands before the woman that is about to be delivered, that when she is delivered he may devour her child.

12:4

And his tail swept away (Tails are False Prophets [Isaiah 9:15 The elder and the honorable man, he is the head; and the Prophet that teaches Falsehood, he is the tail.] and are used to bring fire. [God’s wrath] Judges 15:1-5; Matthew 13:10-30.) (Note Revelation 9:10. 9:19.)

a third part (The Church built with hands, the Called; Zechariah 13:8,9)

Zechariah 13:8

And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, says, the LORD, two parts (Of People) therein shall be cut off (From Grace) and die; (In carnality, Sin; Carnal Man) but the third part shall be left therein. (NOTE: Revelation 8:7,8,11; 9:16; 12:4; 16:19)

of the stars (Descendants of Abraham; Genesis 22:17) of heaven, (The called, the church built with hands, the invited to become the chosen).Those who have named Jesus as their Savior, but still live in the carnal. and threw them to the earth: (Earthly thinking)

II Kings 10:10;

Know now that there shall fall to the earth, nothing of the word of the Lord... His word, will not return to Him void or empty, without accomplishing what is was sent to do. (Isaiah 55:11)

Daniel 11:35;

And some of them that are wise shall fall, in order to refine them, and to purify, and to make them white, even to the time of the end; because it is yet for the time appointed. (Note: Revelation 6:13; 8:7)

and the dragon (The Mythical monster of our imagination, great deceiver, Satan, the father of all lies. The unrighteous thinking of our own imagination. II Corinthians 10:5 ) In the Garden the serpent was in the tree [Tree represents man throughout the bible.] The great deceiver, Satan, the father of all lies, is our own imagination raised up against the knowledge of God. 

stood before the woman (In this case, the True Church, the Chosen Elect Remnant [The soul: Your Mind, will and emotions.]) who was about to give birth, (To the precious image inside. The Image [Exact likeness] of God. His way of Thinking.  Jeremiah 15:19.) so that when she gave birth he might devour (Galatians 5:15) her child.

II Timothy 4:3-4;

For the time will come when they will not endure the sound doctrine; but, having itching ears, will accumulate to themselves (false) teachers in accordance with their  own lusts; (Fleshly thinking, desires.) :4 and will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn aside to myths. (Fables and fantasies) Another translation, God’s Word Translation interprets :4;  A time will come when people will not listen to accurate teachings. Instead, they will follow their own desires and surround themselves with teachers who tell them what they want to hear. (II Thessalonians 2:10)

We have built the tail of the Dragon, ourselves, scale by scale.  Satan, the Dragon is our own imagination.  His tail that swept us down to earthly thinking is our own accumulation of false prophets and false teachers for the tickling of our ears in accordance with our own desires, telling us just what we want to hear.

First: The natural birth: as we find in;

Isaiah 66:8;

Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things? Shall a land be born in one day? shall a nation be brought forth at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, (Labored) she brought forth her children.

This is the prophecy concerning the land of Israel was born on, May 14^th 1948 The land (The nation (Natural Israel,) represents our Natural birth) and immediately her enemies came to devour. When Israel came into being, five Arab armies of Egypt, Syria, Trans Jordan, Lebanon and Iraq immediately attacked and tried to devour the new nation but, of course, were unsuccessful, but have been trying ever since.

This is,

·        first in the natural; then the spiritual. I Corinthians 15:46.

We who are made from dust are the land; (NOTE: Revelation 10:2)

(The promised land refers to the promises of God which are possessed by faith.  The True Church, The Elect, is His body.  See Genesis 3:19; Ecclesiastes 3:2;)

·        Second: We find the Spiritual birth is completely different. It is brought through the death of the old man. God uses things in our lives to devour the old man. He waits on us to agree with Him to see our brokenness, that the old man should die. That’s Repentance  (John 12:24;)

Romans 8:8; And they that are in the flesh cannot please God. (Because they are not living by faith, but their own efforts, of the flesh, to try  to please God.)

Romans 8:12-14;

So then, brethren, we are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh::13;  for if you are living according to the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit (Practicing Righteousness) you put to death the deeds of the body, you shall live. 14; For as many as are led (Walk) by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. (Those who Practice Righteousness)

God wants us to see our true Spiritual condition, He wants us to see the need to kill the old Bestial Man, that he must be crucified with Christ.

Galatians 2:20;

I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I that live, but Christ living in me: (I am dead and live my life through Christ. I have a new HEART and MIND) and that life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith, which is in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me.

I am the body and Christ’s mind, His thinking, is the head. The spiritual picture we find repeated over and over in the Word is that our old bestial level thinking must be killed, crucified, put to death, so that we may live with a new mind set, that of our Lord’s. We must get rid of our thoughts, that are not Gods thoughts. We cannot accomplish this in our own power.  We are too weak, but God wants us to see our weakness  His Power is Grace, and practicing righteousness is how the power flows. This is faith, by Loving and trusting Him, by repenting and confessing of our sin. He will give us His power to be obedient.

We have to see the level to which we have fallen, that we have in fact fallen to the level of the BEAST. When Adam fell he fell to the level he had dominion over.

FALLEN FROM GRACE

Remember therefore,

 from where you have fallen, and repent …

The Dragon, Satan, the Devil, the Harlot Babylon, Demons, Evil Spirits. Fallen Angels are all separated, apart and fallen from God’s Grace, and do not have the thoughts of God. (Note: Revelation 2:5; 14:8; 18:2.)

THEY ALL REPRESENT

DISOBEDIENCE

II Corinthians 10:5;

Destroying speculations and every lofty thing (THOUGHTS) raised up against the knowledge of God, and are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ; (Examine every thought, to see if it lines up with the word. Test every spirit. I John 4:1. Remember, this is living on the Watchtower and thus measuring the Temple.)( NOTE: Revelation 11:1)  

It has been very convenient for us to blame our own disobedience on someone or something other than ourselves. It has been very easy for us to say, “the Devil made me do it,” so we can just go on with the old traditions we have been taught by those who have defiled the Word with the FLESH. We have not taken a LONG LOOK AT THE CONDITION WE ARE REALLY IN. “After all, I’M forgiven.” We have not pressed into know Him, that forgiveness and being cleansed are two different things. It seems easier to many to avoid seeing what we have become, that is, the abomination of which Daniel was referring. If we are not Practicing Righteousness, then we are not in fellowship with our Creator. Therefore, it is no wonder that we cannot control our thoughts and that no power  flows to empower our light. Therefore, HE IS NOT ON THE THRONE OF OUR TEMPLE. If He is not on the throne, then we have the thoughts of Satan, and have become the Synagogue of Satan. (Note: Revelation  2:9; 3:9; 9:3,11; 11:7.)

We are not instructed in the word to do tremendous spiritual warfare, battling Satan and his demons at every turn, such as sending fallen angels and their cohorts to outer darkness, and casting out demons. Jesus simply spoke to the demons to free people. When Jesus spoke to Peter, saying, “Get behind Me, Satan,” He was talking to the way Peter was thinking, which was from the abundance of Peter’s heart, for from the heart (Matthew 12:34; Our true thoughts, of what we believe.) the mouth speaks. The solution to thinking like Satan is very simple, we take the thought captive and God does the rest. The Lord rebuke you Satan. (Jude 1:9)

THE BATTLE IS HIS.

(II Corinthians 10:6) And We (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) are ready to punish (NASV revenge KJV) all disobedience, when your obedience is complete. All God wants us to do is take our thought’s captive.  That is our obedience. He’ll supply the Power of Grace to do it, if you’re walking in the Light. (Practicing Righteousness)

We are giving Birth to the MIND OF CHRIST

We have to travail (Fighting the fight of whom to believe, our thoughts, or God’s.) in giving birth, so that once we have delivered we will really want the baby and, forgetting the pain, we can appreciate the Joy. God will use everything in our lives to devour the old man so we can live in the newness of His life.

Isaiah 26:17-20;

As a pregnant woman approaches the time to give birth, she writhes and cries out in her pain, so were we before you, O Lord. :18; We have been with child, (Giving birth to the MIND OF CHRIST) we have been in labor pain, (Tribulation of fighting the fight of faith, Choosing how to think, learning how, to make Godly choices, of REPENTING and changing from, our thoughts, to His thoughts. Rejecting unGodly thoughts.) we gave birth as it seems only to the wind; we could not accomplish deliverance for the earth; Nor were the inhabitants of the earth born. That was not our purpose, that is, we cannot deliver the earth by our works. That’s God’s job. He is our Deliverer. We were born to fellowship with our Creator. 19; Your dead will live; Their corpses will rise. You who lie in the dust, (Satan was delegated to eat the dust [food of no nourishment, spiritual or otherwise] of the ground. Genesis 3:14) Awake and shout for joy, for your dew is as the dew of the Light of dawn… (Note Revelation 3:2 and 3. 11:1.)

Stop eating thoughts of no nourishment. Line up every thought to His Rod and Staff, measure your Temple against His measuring Plumb Line of His Word.

Isaiah 26:20; Come, my people, enter into your chambers, (Secret place with God, where we become intimate with Him to KNOW Him.) and shut your doors about you: hide yourself for a little moment, until the indignation runs its course. (Sin is used to teach us what it is like, what our end would be without God’s Grace. [His Power to change us back into His Image.] Romans 5:20)

A commentary on the Book of Revelation by F.B. ( a friend and a brother to all of us)

  The Book of Revelation is a letter To:

The Righteous Remnant, who are prodigal sons, returned home to a Loving Father, by PRACTICING RIGHTEOUSNESS.

It is a call for patience and endurance and exhorts us to stand firm in the light, as Overcomers, until The End of the age;

I John 4:4

You are from God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world. (Matthew 24:13, 28:20;)

The Book of Revelation is not a Book of End Time Events, but a revealing of who we are as we abide in Christ, by practicing His Righteousness.

Revelation 12:1

And a great sign was seen in heaven: a woman ([The soul: Your Mind, will and emotions.] The true Church) arrayed with the sun, (Son) and the moon (Our thinking) under her feet, (Control) and upon her head (Where we think) a crown (Godly thinking) of  twelve stars; (Divine government)

This is the true Church, having the mind of Christ, as the head.

Revelation 12:2

and she was with child; and she cried out, being in labor, and in pain to give birth.

12:2

and she (The true Church) was with child; (Christ’s image that is within us.) and she cried out, being in labor, (Not fully resting, trusting, and believing in God, but, fighting the fight of faith in order to enter into God’s rest.)

and in pain (Suffering from fighting the fight of faith. Suffering from choosing whom to believe, the thoughts of God or Satanic thoughts, as doubt.)

to give birth. (To bring forth the new life,  by trusting and believing in God and His Rest. Dead to the old self, the old bestial nature of fallen from God’s Grace [Power].)

Galatians 4:19;

 My little children, of whom I am again in labor until Christ is formed in you.

Hebrews 4:11;

Let us diligently labor therefore to enter into that rest, that no man fall (From Grace) after the same example (Israel, in the wilderness) of unbelief.

Galatians 4:22-24;

For it is written that, Abraham had two sons, one by the bondwoman, (The False Church) (NOTE: Revelation 17 and 18; The Harlot Babylon) and one by the  free woman. (The True Church) 23, Howbeit the [son] by the

bondwoman (The False Church) is born after the flesh; (Earthly) but the [son] by the free woman [is born] through promise. (Believing and trusting what God said He will do by faith.) 24, Which things contain an allegory: for these [women] are two covenants; one from mount Sinai, bearing children unto bondage, which is Hagar. (NOTE: Revelation 2:23; 11:8; 11:13; 17:5;)

Galatians 4:25-26;

Now this Hagar is mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present (Earthly) Jerusalem that now is: for she is in bondage (To Sin, lawlessness I John 3:4-7;) with her children. (Practicing Lawlessness) (NOTE: Revelation 13:13 @ Matthew 7:23) (NOTE: Revelation 2:23; 11:8; 11:13; 17:5:26;)

But the Jerusalem

(New Jerusalem, the True Church)

that is above is free, which is our Mother.

(The True Church, New Jerusalem)

Galatians 4:27-31;

For it is written, Rejoice, barren woman who does not bear; Break forth and shout, You who are not in labor: (Those who have entered His rest) For more numerous are the children of the desolate (Those connected to the Harlot who have self on the throne are desolate without Jesus in His rightful seat in the Temple.) than of her that has a husband. (Jesus) :28,  Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are children of promise. :29, But, as at the same time, he that was born according to the flesh persecuted him [who was born] according to the Spirit, so it is now also. :30, But what does the scripture say? Cast out (Separate from) (NOTE: Revelation 18:4;) the Bondwoman (False Church, The Harlot Babylon, The church built with hands) and her son: (Offspring) for the son of the Bondwoman (False Church) shall not inherit with the son (Offspring) of the free woman. (The true Church):31; So then, brethren, we are not children of a Bondwoman, (Earthly Jerusalem) but of the free woman. (New Jerusalem) (Note: Revelation 11:8; @ Galatians 4:26; Revelation 21:2)

Romans 4:21;

 And being fully assured that what He had promised, He was able also to perform. We are to be children of the Promise. (Believing  the promises of God by faith. Galatians 4:28; …We are children of promise.)

Therefore, If I am Practicing Righteousness by loving God to be obedient and humble, (II John:6 and Philippians 2:8;) through faith, by Repenting, confessing and asking for God’s Grace to change me, I am Righteous as He is Righteous. By faith then, which is, trusting and believing God at what He says, God does not count my slip into sin against me, and has wiped it away, as if it never happened. Because, I repented and confessed that slip, by loving Him to be obedient, not out of compulsion, but by love, then, I am Perfect, Blameless  and Holy and have been credited as keeping the whole law. (John 14:15; I John 1:5-10; I John 3:4-7.) Hence, I am Perfect here on earth  (Matthew 5:48;) and therefore,

Because I am now restored to fellowship with my Creator from the fall of Grace, the power of God’s Grace is restored also. I am walking in God’s light and. (Philippians 4:13; I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.)

II Corinthians 12:9,

And He said to me, My grace is sufficient for you: for My power is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

In order, to receive, God’s Grace, His power, we must walk in the light of truth. Unconfessed sin is darkness. God is light and in Him there is no darkness. We must repent, that is, change from our thinking to His, and love Him by trusting and believing Him to be obedient to His commands. For He created us, not we ourselves. The True Church is the remnant who are restored to fellowship by practicing righteousness here on Earth, where Grace flows to produce God’s eternal fruit, His works, which He prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

Colossians 3:1-2;

 If then you have been raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, (The New Jerusalem, The True Church) where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God.:2; Set your mind (Repent) on the things that are above,(The New Jerusalem, the True Church) not on the things that are upon the earth. (The False Church, the Earthly Jerusalem)

Love is a requirement for membership in the True Church of New Jerusalem.

LOVE IS OBEDIENCE (II John :6)

TO SEPARATE From the False Church

Revelation 12 is a picture of the True Church. Revelation 14 pictures both the True and False Church. Revelation 17 and 18 thru 19:2 is a picture of the False Church. (NOTE: Revelation 14;17;18;19:2)

Revelation 11:14

The second Woe is past: behold, the third Woe is coming quickly.

11:14

The second Woe is past: behold, the third Woe is coming quickly.

Revelation 11:15

And the seventh angel sounded; and there followed great voices in heaven, and they said, The kingdom of the world is become the kingdom of out Lord, and of his Christ: and he shall reign for ever and ever.

11:15

And the seventh angel sounded; and there followed great voices in heaven, and they said, The kingdom of the world is become the kingdom of our Lord, and of His Christ: (Anointed ones) and He shall reign (During the Millennium and beyond within the new Hearts and Spirit of His creation. Ezekiel 36:26)  for ever and ever. The announcement has just been made:

ALL ARE SAVED.

Look at what the word says, about fire and being saved, in:

I Corinthians 3:10-15;

According to the GRACE of God which was given to me, like a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another is building on it. But each mans must be careful how he builds on it, :11, For no man can lay a foundation other than the one, which was laid, which is Christ Jesus.

:12, Now if any man builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw,:13, each man’s work will become evident; for the day will show it because it is to be revealed with fire, and the fire itself will test the quality of each man’s work. :14, If any man’s work, which he has built on it, remains, he will receive a reward. :15; If any man’s work is burned up, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.”  This is not just talking to the saved, but to ANY MAN. 

James 1:3; says, …knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.(Patience)           As gold through fire

Fear must go!

I John 4:16-18; 

We have come to know and have believed the love which God has for us, God is Love, and the one who abides in love (II John :6)  abides in God, and God abides in him. :17, By this, love is perfected (Making us perfect by practicing righteousness) with us, so that we may have confidence (no fear) in the Day of Judgment; (His Light of Truth shining on us, to reveal all that is not of Him, in order to grant us repentance, to be able to receive His Grace.) because as He is, so also are we in this world. (I John 3:7, Righteous just as He is Righteous.)

I John 4:18, There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, (Perfect love trusts and believes God and His promises. FAITH and LOVE go hand in hand because if you do not love God, you do not trust Him to be obedient in all things.) because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love.”

The world is going to expect eternal punishment, but they are going to receive something completely different, LOVE, through us His body. We will rule and reign with Him, with love, over those who are expecting punishment.

 In Luke 7:37- 43,47; And there was a woman in the city who was a sinner; and when she learned that He was reclining at the table in the Pharisee’s house, she brought an alabaster vial of perfume. :38, and standing behind Him at His feet, weeping she began to wet His feet with her tears, and kept wiping them with the hair of her head, and kissing His feet and anointing them with perfume. :39, Now the Pharisee who had invited Him saw this, he said to himself, “If this man were a prophet He would know who and what sort of person this woman is who is touching Him, that she is a sinner.” :40, And Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to say to you.” And he replied, “Say it teacher.:41, “A moneylender had two debtors: one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.:42, “When they were unable to repay, he graciously forgave them both. So which of them will love him more?” :43, Simon answered and said, “I suppose the one whom he forgave more.” And He said to him, “You have judged correctly.” :47; “For this reason I say to you, her sins, which are many, have been forgiven, for she loved much; but he who is forgiven little, loves little.”

The Lord will restore to man all which Adam had.  Then the world will know just how God intended it to be before the fall from GRACE.

The End Result is Love

I Timothy 1:5;

The goal of our instruction is love, (Obedience) from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.

Revelation 11:16

And the four and twenty elders, who sit before God on their thrones, fell upon their faces and worshipped God,

11:16

And the twenty four (Twenty-four [#24] is the number of priestly order of God’s Government. [#2] the number of witness; times [#12] Divine Government. Therefore, the witness of God’s Government. 2 x 12 = 24. (NOTE: Revelation 4:4,10; 5:8,14; 11:16; 19:4.) elders, (The 12 Sons of Jacob; the 12 heads of the 12 tribes, of the Old Testament. And the 12 Apostles of the New Testament.) who sit before God on their thrones, fell upon their faces and worshipped God, Because of His wonderful, merciful and loving plan.

Jeremiah 29:11;

For I know the plans that I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for your welfare and not for calamity, to give you a future and a hope.

Revelation 11:17

saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God, the Almighty, who art and who was; because thou hast taken thy great power, and did reign.

11:17

saying, We give You thanks, O Lord God, the Almighty, Who are and Who was; because You have taken Your great power, (Grace, God’s power to make you do what God created you to do and to be who God created you to be. Grace means “unmerited favor.”) and did reign.

Revelation 11:18

And the nations were enraged, and thy wrath came, and the time of the dead to be judged, and [the time] to give their reward to thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and to them that fear thy name, the small and the great; and to destroy them that destroy the earth.

11:18

And the nations (Heathen) were enraged, (Because, they do not yet know God or understand God’s thoughts and ways) and Your wrath came, and the time of the dead (In sin) to be judged, (Exposed to the shining Light of Truth) and [the time] to give their reward to Your bond-servants the prophets, (The Remnant, the chosen, the elect) and to the saints, (The Church, the Chosen) and to them that fear Your name, the small and the great; and to destroy them  (The Beast; the old bestial nature, the old man)

I Corinthians 3:17;

If any man destroys the temple of God, God will destroy him; (The bestial man. It is the bestial man that destroys the temple.) for the temple of God is holy, and that is what you are. (The real you, made in God’s image)  

that destroy (It is the bestial man that destroys the earth, which is himself.) the earth. (Mankind) Man is earth. God made man and formed him from the earth.

Genesis 2:7, 3:19;

2:7, And the Lord formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. Also, Genesis 3:19; we find that man came from the dust and to the dust he shall return.

Revelation 11:19

And there was opened the temple of God that is in heaven; and there was seen in his temple the ark of his covenant; and there followed lightnings, and voices, and thunders, and an earthquake, and great hail.

11:19

And there was opened the temple of God that is in heaven; and there was seen in His temple the ark of His covenant; and there followed lightnings, and voices, and thunders, (Words of God that are Light and clearly heard.) and an earthquake, and great hail. (Exposes lies,)

Isaiah 28:17;

And I will make judgment (God’s way of thinking, God’s Light of Truth that shines to expose all that is not of Him. I Corinthians 4:5.) the plumbline, (Measuring line) and righteousness the level; and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding-place.

Revelation 11:3

And I will grant authority to my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.

11:3

And I will grant authority to (Power of Grace under your feet,

My two witnesses, (The Word and Works)

Two Witnesses 

The Word and Works

John 5:36-39;30; 

“I can do nothing on My own initiative. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is just, because I do not seek My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me. 31 ”If I alone testify about Myself, My testimony is not true. 32 ”There is another who testifies of Me, and I know that the testimony which He gives about Me is true. 33 ”You have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth. 34 ”But the testimony which I receive is not from man, but I say these things so that you may be saved. 35 ”He was the lamp that was burning and was shining and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light. 36 ”But the testimony which I have is greater than the testimony of John; for the works which the Father has given Me to accomplish–the very works that I do–testify about Me, that the Father has sent Me. 37 ”And the Father who sent Me, He has testified of Me. You have neither heard His voice at any time nor seen His form. 38 ”You do not have His word abiding in you, for you do not believe Him whom He sent. 39 ”You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; it is these that testify (Word #3140 meaning: to be a witness, to bear witness, i.e. to affirm that one has seen or heard from the Root: #3144; Same word as testify; a witness in a legal, historical sense)  about Me; (NOTE: Revelation 1:5,2:13,3:14,17:6;)  

These two witnesses perform the same functions as Moses and Elijah. The plagues that Moses inflicted were to deal with the Egyptian (worldly) spiritual system. This process was also effected by Elijah who witnessed against false religion within Israel. The two witnesses expose the false spiritual system (Harlot Babylon) of the last days. Thus the witnesses testify against false religion both within Israel and among the nations, But we are not to measure the nations against the plumbline of the word, for the nations represent the natural man. We are instructed not to Judge the natural man, as in,

I Corinthians 5:13; Those who are outside (The Light) God  judges. The power of His two witnesses is flowing through those who are Practicing Righteousness, just as He is Righteous. I John 3:7.

and they shall prophesy (Speak the Word, confirmed by the Works of God. John 14:10.) a thousand two hundred and sixty, [1260] days (3 ½ years; the last half of Daniel’s 70^th week. The Latter Day Rain. Daniel 9:27.)

clothed in sackcloth. (Repentance)

All men are called to become Sons of God, but few are chosen. This period of time is the same period of time that was given to the nations. This is the time of the Latter Day Rain when the Spirit of Grace is poured out for anyone who wishes to walk in the power of the light. The Early Rain was at Pentecost, just after Christ’s resurrection. What we are experiencing now is the Latter Day rain. Matthew 5:45: That you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven: for He makes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust. I John 3:9,10.

Revelation 11:4

These are the two olive trees and the two candlesticks, standing before the Lord of the earth.

11:4

These are the two (Two [#2] is the number of witness) olive (Fruit) trees (Men, Mark 8:24;) olive trees are men that produce fruit (Words & Works) and the two candlesticks, (Lampstands are the witnesses of the Light)

Zechariah Chapter 4:2,3; And He said to me, What do you see? And I said, I have seen, and, behold, a candlestick (Lights) all of gold, (Godly thinking) with its bowl upon the top (Head, receptacles for the oil of the Holy Spirit.) of it, and its seven lamps (Perfect Light) thereon; there are seven pipes to each of the lamps, (Perfect [#7] Pipes means to get the perfect anointing oil of God’s Grace flowing through us to empower each Light) which are upon the top thereof; (Through Godly thinking, the mind of Christ) :3; and two olive-trees (Olives must be crushed, leaving the flesh behind (destruction of the flesh), to get the Oil.[ Anointing of the Holy Spirit]) by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof. Olive Trees produce fruit (Word) together with Candlesticks that produce Light (Together are: the Works and Word of God; John 5:36-39;)

standing (Firmly established) before the Lord of the earth.

Revelation 11:5

And if any man desires to hurt them, fire proceeds out of their mouth and devours their enemies; and if any man shall desire to hurt them, in this manner must he be killed.

11:5

And if any man desires to hurt them, (Distort the word) fire proceeds out of their mouth (Jeremiah 5:14; Because you speak this [false] word, behold, I will make My words in your mouth fire)

and devours their enemies; and this people wood, [from a Tree] and it shall devour them)

and if any man desires to hurt (Distort or murder the word) them,(The two witnesses) in this manner they must be killed. Killed, by the Word of God, sharper than a, two-edged sword.

Revelation 11:6

These have the power to shut the heaven, that it would not rain during the days of their prophecy: and they have power over the waters to turn them into blood, and to smite the earth with every plague, as often as they shall desire.

11:6

These have the power (To create, by Grace, through the spoken word, followed by works to confirm. The words that I say to you I do not speak on My own initiative but the Father abiding in Me does His works. John 14:10.)

to shut the heaven, that it would not rain during the days of their prophecy: (I Kings 17:1;18:1;)

Why No Rain?

Ezekiel 22:24; Son of man, say to her: You are a land that has not been cleansed, that has not received rain in the day of indignation.

This  represents: the 3 ½ years of Latter Day Rain, (Truth understood) The three and a half days is the period when the two witnesses have withheld the Latter Rain from those who had not asked for it. (The Natural or Carnal Man) The Latter Day Rain is only given to those who ask and are heard in the Light, cleansed, by Practicing Righteousness.

Zechariah 10:1-3,11,12;

Ask rain from (Pouring out of understanding of God’s word of Truth, the veil is removed to be able to see clearly spiritually) the LORD at the time of the latter rain (No rain of knowledge and understanding on the Natural or Carnal Man) (NOTE: Revelation 11:2)  

The LORD who makes the storm clouds; And He will give them showers of rain, vegetation in the field to each man. 2 For their idols have spoken vanity, and the diviners have seen a lie, and have told false dreams; they comfort in vain: therefore they went their way as a flock, they were troubled, because there was no shepherd. 3 Mine anger was kindled against the shepherds, and I punished the goats: for the LORD of hosts hath visited his flock the house of Judah, and hath made them as his goodly horse in the battle. 11 And he shall pass through the sea with affliction, and shall smite the waves in the sea, and all the deeps of the river shall dry up: and the pride of Assyria shall be brought down, and the scepter of Egypt shall depart away. 12 And I will strengthen them in the LORD;

(Jeremiah 3:15; is the reason for the 1000 year rest.)

The affliction of the shepherds occurs over time. The passage is through the sea of affliction, which is brought about by the flood of Satan’s lies, which is our own unrighteous thinking. Those who are his elect are brought to repentance and will turn again to the Lord among the nations, and then they will be restored to Heavenly Jerusalem  and their inheritance.

Jeremiah 3:1-3; 

They say, ‘If a man divorces his wife, (The Lord, Mr. Grace) And she goes from him And becomes another man’s, (Mr. Law of works) May he return to her again?’ Would not that land be greatly polluted? But you have played the harlot with many lovers; Yet return to Me,” says the Lord. 2 ”Lift up your eyes to the desolate heights and see: Where have you not lain with men? By the road you have sat for them Like an Arabian in the wilderness; And you have polluted (Made unclean) the land With your harlotries and your wickedness. (Lawlessness):3; Therefore the showers have been withheld and there has been no latter rain;  yet you had a harlot’s forehead, you refused to be ashamed.(Harlot Babylon, Unrighteous thinking, False church built with hands)

We are married to Mr. Grace but, have gone from Him to Mr. Law.

and they (The Two Witnesses, the Word and Works of God;)  have power (I Kings 17:1 To seal up, neither dew or rain according to my word.) over the waters (Words of people, multitudes, nations and tongues. Sea of Mankind) (Note: Revelation 1:15; 7:17; 8:10,11; 11:6; 14:2,7; 16:4,5; 17:11,15; 19:6.) to turn them into blood, (Life) and to smite the earth with every plague, (Exodus 7:17-25.) (This is the Greek word, Plege [Play-gay] #4127, meaning: To wound; stripe; calamity: From the Root: Plesso [Place-so] #4141, meaning: To Flatten; to pound; to inflict with calamity; smite. From the word, Tupto [#5180, meaning: To hit with repeated blows; to beat, strike. (Note: Revelation 8:6 @ Joshua 6)   as often as they shall desire.

Revelation 11:7

And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that cometh up out of the abyss shall make war with them, and overcome them, and kill them.

11:7

And when they shall have finished their testimony, (Word #3141 meaning: a testifying; the office committed to the prophets of testifying concerning the truth, testimony, from the Root: #3144; Same word as, a witness in a legal, historical sense)

Matthew 24:14;

And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world for a testimony to all the nations; and then the end [Of time] shall come.

the beast (The Bestial Man has denied the power of godliness by usurping the throne of the Temple of their lives, where Christ should be instead, and has thus become the Synagogue of Satan.) (Note: Revelation  2:9; 3:9; 9:3 and vs.11; 12:4; 13:2.)

that comes up out of the abyss (Darkness of man’s thinking) shall make war (And cause them to fight the fight of faith) with them, (The two witnesses; the Word and Works.) and overcome them, (By making the lie of half truths, seem like the whole Truth) and kill them. (Murdered the Truth of the Word, silenced their witness.) (Note: Revelation 9:9; 11:7;12:6,7,12)

Revelation 11:8

And their dead bodies [lie] in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified.

11:8

And their dead (The Word and works of Truth have been murdered and killed) bodies (Lit. Body)  lie in the street (The Way; Jesus John 14:6; I Am the Way the Life and the Truth, no one comes to the Father, but through Me. Jeremiah 7:17; Do you not see what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?)

of the great city, (The Harlot Babylon, Earthly Jerusalem, Now, Natural and Carnal Man. The False church which eats defiled food from the Harlot, not the Perfect Church by practicing Righteousness.)

Galatians 4:24-26;

Which things contain an allegory: for these women are two covenants; one from mount Sinai, bearing children unto bondage, (Sin) which is Hagar. :25 Now this Hagar is mount Sinai in Arabia and answers to the Jerusalem that is now: for she is in bondage (Sin) with her children. (Note: Revelation 2:23;11:13; 18:19.) :26 But the Jerusalem that is above is free, which is our mother. (Sarah)

The Jerusalem which is now is that which spiritually is called Sodom (Flaming; burning; Mystery; their secret; root = to hide. Fettered. Sodom represents the flesh in the bonds of sin.) All of these refer to Sin.

and Egypt, (The world) Sodom and Egypt are therefore the sins of the world.

where also their Lord was crucified. (Jesus was crucified in The Earthly Jerusalem that is now, which is the False Church that feeds on half truths, just as the Judaism of Jesus’ day was the false church of that age that fed on half truths)

Revelation 11:9

And from among the peoples and tribes and tongues and nations do [men] look upon their dead bodies three days and a half, and suffer not their dead bodies to be laid in a tomb.

11:9

And from among the peoples and tribes and tongues and nations do [men] look (Isaiah 6:9; And He said, Go, and tell this people, Keep on listening, but do not perceive; and keep on looking but do not understand.) upon their dead (The Word was not made alive in the hearts of those who heard it, so there could be no Works to confirm a word they did not hear.)

bodies (Jeremiah 8:3; And they chose death rather than life by all the residue that remain of this evil family, that remain in all the places whither I have driven them, says the Lord of hosts.)

three and a half days, (The word: day, is #2250: which can indicate a longer period of time than a 24 hour period, as when in the plural, may indicate a time span in years.)

and do not allow their dead bodies to be laid in a  tomb.

(A tomb for these Two Witnesses. The Word and Works of God have

resurrection life in them. Proverbs 4:20; John 6:63,68;)

The story of Lazarus: John 11:1-46

John 11: 17,25; 

So when Jesus came, He found that he had already been in the tomb four days 25; Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies.

Revelation 11:10

And they that dwell on the earth rejoice over them, and make merry; and they shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwell on the earth. (Word # 928; to test metals by the touchstone, used to test the purity of gold or silver; to question by applying torture; to vex with grievous pains of body or mind, to torment; to be harassed, distressed.[Jacob’s Trouble]) Full of unGodly fear, love not perfected)

11:10

And those that dwell on the earth (Earthly thinking) rejoice over them, and make merry; and they shall send gifts (Bribes) one to another;

Ezekiel 16:31-33; When you built your shrine (Churches built with hands) at the beginning of every way, and made your high place on every street, in disdaining money, you were not as a harlot; :32, A wife that commits adultery! (Vashti, in the Book of Esther. I Corinthians  Chapter 5; – 6:17.) that takes strangers instead of her Husband! :33; [In that] They give gifts to all harlots; but you give your gifts to all your lovers, and bribe them to come to you from every direction of your Harlotries. (The Harlot Babylon) (NOTE: Revelation 14:8; 16:19; Chapters 17 thru 18:13; 21:3;)

Amos 2:6; …because they have sold the righteous for a bribe,

This has a two-fold meaning; it refers to, of course, Judas, but it also refers to, selling spiritual things, meant to be free. (Nehemiah 5:1-5; Isaiah 55:1; Amos 5:11 and 12;)

Micah 3:11.

Her leaders pronounce judgment (The Light of Gods Truth) for a bribe, and the priests instruct for a price, and her (The Harlot Babylon’s) prophets divine for money: yet they lean upon the Lord, and say, Is not the Lord in the midst of us? no evil shall come on us.

because these two (Two[#2] is the number of witness) prophets (True prophets, those who see and hear the words of the Lord and speak, His words to others.)

Most people, however, are unwilling or are too lazy to test the word and fruits of what they hear in order to see for themselves, testing what they hear against the word, to find out whether or not prophets are prophets from God. They certainly do not give the double honor which the word instructs us to give to true prophets who labor in the word in order to prophesy Truth to those who are in spiritual famine. (I John 4:1; I Timothy 5:17;)

The truth that comes forth from a true prophets mouth (Words, His fruit) has tormented (Fearful) these people. They are full of fear because they did not want to put forth the time and effort to study the word, to really KNOW [Ginosko] and TRUST their Husband, the Truth, intimately for themselves.

those that dwell on the earth. (Earthly thinking, not heavenly)

Colossians 3:1,2;

If then you were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God.:2; Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are on the earth.)

So, they made up their own way of thinking that tickled their ears.

II Timothy 4:3;

For the time will come (That time is now) when they will not endure the sound doctrine; but, wanting to have theirs ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance with their own desires.

They get mad at the true prophets of God.  They are unable to hear the Truth because of their own deceitful PRIDE.

Daniel 9:6;

Moreover, we have not listened to your servants the prophets, that spoke in your name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land.

Revelation 11:11

And after the three days and a half the breath of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them that beheld them

11:11

And after (After the completion of) the three and a half days (The Gospel was preached the First half (3½ years) of the Early Rain) (NOTE: Revelation 8:1; 10:4; 11:2, and vs.. 13.)  the breath of life from God (The Holy Spirit.)  entered into them, (As a pledge)

Ephesians 1:13,14;

in whom ye also, having heard the word of the truth, the gospel of your salvation,– in whom, having also believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, which is an earnest of our inheritance, unto the redemption of [God's] own possession, unto the praise of his glory.

The Flood:

Revelation 12:5-6; Then she gave birth to a son, who will rule over all nations with an iron rod. But the child was snatched away and taken to God and His throne. The woman fled to the desert, to a place God had prepared for her, where she will be taken care of for 1,260 days, from the flood of lies. The 1260 days in the desert is patterned after the event when Israel left Egypt and wandered in the desert 40 years. In wrath Pharaoh pursued the woman ‘Israel’ into the Red Sea. But the earth helped the women and the sea was divided in the middle. (Which has the earmark of a tsunami.) Moreover, note that the ‘woman’ of Revelation 12 is associated with ‘heavenly signs’. And, remarkably, these also occurred at the time of the great tsunami. On the day of the tsunami, December 26, 2004, one of the most remarkable heavenly signs ever recorded happened. Another huge solar burst came from a star billions of miles away and pummeled the earth with radiation. Also in the heavens at that time was the record 5th naked-eye comet of the year that was rising like a scepter over Pleiades, called the seven sisters (i.e., the seven churches of Revelation 2-3), or the ‘menorah’ as it is called by the Jews. It is reminiscent of the star of Bethlehem at the birth of the man-child Jesus!

Revelation 11:13 Continued:

and the tenth part (Our thinking)

Ten [#10] is the number of the Law of works; the works of the hands. The tenth part often refers to a recipe for a sacrifice, and of course, the tithe, (That which belongs to God, which is our Thinking.)

Leviticus 27:30;  And all the tithe (Which means: a tenth part) of the land, ([We are the land] Psalm 103:14; For he knows our frame; he remembers that we are but dust.) whether of the seed of the land, [Man]  or of the fruit of the tree, [Man] is the Lord’s: it is holy to the Lord.

But what we must know, is that this refers to our thinking, our mind. Scientist, have been telling us for years, that Mankind, only uses about 10% of our brain (minds). We are to tithe our mind to Him and He gives us His mind in return.

Isaiah 6:13;

And if there be yet a tenth Part in it, and it again will be subject to burning: (God’s consuming fire that burns up all that is not of Him.) as a terebinth, (A Tree; I see men as trees walking. Mark 8:24.) (Note: Revelation 7:1; 19:15;) and as an oak, whose stump remains, when they are felled; (Cut down) so the holy seed (Jesus) is the stump thereof.

Jesus gives us His mind for ours. He is the head we are His body.

of the city (A group of people).

These people, have been forgiven, but have gone back to trying to keep a set of rules which they cannot keep by their own effort. They are trying to please God through their own way of thinking, not by faith in practicing righteousness, by trusting Him to become obedient, through Love.

fell; (Our old thinking destroyed) Just like the wall of Jericho came down flat. (Note: Revelation 8:6; 12:1) and there were killed  (Dead to self; Dead to the flesh) in the earthquake, (Our faults are moved) seven (Seven [#7] is the number of Divine perfection) thousand (Descendants of Abraham) (NOTE: Revelation 21:16)  persons:

The Church, the Invited, Called, have received the promise of their Salvation,

I John 3:2;

Beloved, now we are children of God, and it is not appeared as yet what we shall be. We know that, when He appears, we shall be like Him; (Never doubting, in perfect faith)  for we shall see Him even as He is.

and the rest (The World, the unsaved.) were terrified,

They think they are going to Hell.  If a tenth of the city was 7,000 then, the population of the city was 70,000. Seventy (70) is the number before increase. (NOTE: Revelation 20:1)

and gave glory to the God of heaven.

Zechariah 12:10

And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, (Earthly Jerusalem in bondage) (Note: Revelation 11:8)

the spirit of grace and of supplication; and they shall look unto Me whom they have pierced; and they shall mourn for Him, as one mourns for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for Him, as one that is in bitterness for his first-born.

When the RETURN OF CHRIST takes place every one of His creations will know He is the Creator. He may come back 300 feet tall One doesn’t know how it will look, but every eye shall see Him for who He is, GOD OUR CREATOR.

They (the world) will weep and mourn because they will be expecting the punishment of HELL. They know they have rejected the True God, the Creator. They know they have lived their lives for themselves, not seeking His true ways. The world will know they have rejected the ONE TRUE GOD. The world has been told by Christians, for centuries, that, “If you don’t accept Jesus, you’re going to burn in Hell Fire Forever!”

This has been our-story, Not, HIS-STORY

John 20:22; And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them, Receive the Holy Spirit: and they stood (Able to stand Spiritually) on their feet; (Through His Spirit of the Latter Day Rain, last half of 3½ years) and great fear fell upon them that beheld them. This is the fear of Mordecai, (A man who Practiced Righteousness in the Book of Esther 9:3.)

Revelation 11:12

And they heard a great voice from heaven saying to them, Come up hither. And they went up into heaven in the cloud; and their enemies beheld them.

11:12

And they heard a great voice from heaven saying to them, Come up hither. (Spiritually) And they (The witnesses of God, true prophets, those who practice righteousness on earth, with Grace flowing through them, producing His Words, followed with the confirmation of His Works. Ezekiel 37:10-13:) went up into heaven in (Abiding in) the cloud; (The Lord is in the cloud. Exodus 19:8; 34:5;)  (NOTE: Revelation 1:7; 10:1; 11:3) and their (Those who Practiced Righteousness) enemies (All those who did not practice righteousness.) beheld them. (The Word and Works of God)

Revelation 11:13

And in that hour there was a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell; and there were killed in the earthquake seven thousand persons: and the rest were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.

11:13

And in that hour (Both halves of the early and latter Rain, make up The hour of SALVATION) there was a great earthquake, (We are made of the earth, an earthquake, is caused by the moving of Fault lines. When we are moved to see spiritually, we see our faults of sin.)  

It is also interesting that there are two natural cataclysmic phenomena associated with the number 1260 in Revelation (Revelation 11 and 12). In this chapter, Revelation 11, we have “a great earthquake” when the Two Witnesses rise from the dead, and in Revelation 12 we have “a flood of water.” A ‘great earthquake’ and the ‘flood of water’ are the two elements of the great tsunami! (December 26, 2004)

Luke 21:25,26;

There will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth dismay among nations, in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and the waves, men fainting from fear and the expectation of the things which are coming upon the world; for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

The Earthquake:

The number seven is often divided in half in the bible. Moreover, one of the Two Witnesses is patterned after Moses when God plagued Egypt. At the 10th and last plague Pharaoh threatened Moses with death, but instead the firstborn of Pharaoh died. The Two Witnesses likewise die after they complete their ministry of plaguing the world. This is a type of Jesus who died on Passover. (Except Jesus was Himself plagued on the cross for mankind as a substitute Passover-lamb sacrifice so that all who believe on Him might be saved.) Furthermore, inclusive of Passover day itself, Jesus also rose 3½ years after His 1260-day ministry the same as the Two Witnesses! (The days of the life of Jesus from conception also numbered about 12,600.) Thus, both the narrative and the numeric of Revelation 11-12 clearly link Moses as one of the Two Witnesses (in type) and Moses, in turn, is a type of Christ’s ministry, death, resurrection and ascension. Even their births are similar in that the reigning kings of their day were both slaying the male babies when the deliverers Jesus (The Word) and Moses (The Works) were born and protected.

The ‘ascension’ of the Two Witnesses agrees in theme to the second and last mention of the “1260 days” in the book of Revelation, found in the next chapter. Both, the Two Witnesses (Revelation 11) and the “son” (Jesus) (Revelation 12) share the common theme of ascending to God after being killed. (Dead to self) For both the Two Witnesses and the “son” (Jesus) are “caught up to heaven,” and both the Two Witnesses and the Son ascend within the context of the earth under the rod of judgment. (I Thessalonians 1:10, 5:9;)The phrase “Come up here” also links this passage back to Moses. For God told Moses (several times) to “Come up here” to the top of Mount Sinai, (Exodus 19:23-24; 24:1-12; 34:2-3). It is also interesting that Jesus ascended to heaven on the anniversary that Noah and his family left the Ark after the great flood.

Revelation 11:1

And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and one said, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.

11:1

Then there was given me a measuring rod like a staff: (Jesus, the Word, the Plumb Line. We line up our lives to be measured against the Word. Psalm 23) and one said, Get up, and measure (The measuring line, Isaiah 28:17; And I will make justice the measuring line, and righteousness the level; and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding-place. Jeremiah Chapters 41 and 42.) (NOTE: Revelation 21:15,16;)

the temple of God,(We are the temple of God, I Corinthians 3:16.) and the altar, and those that worship in it. (The sanctuary, Holy of Holies. Hebrews 9:11-15.) God wants us to measure our lives against the Word, in all areas. I John 4:1; where He says to Test every spirit, to see whether they are from God; means: to test, to see if it lines up with the Word, if it doesn’t throw it out. (Ezekiel 41-43; Ezekiel 43:10,11)

Revelation 11:2

And the court which is without the temple leave without, and measure it not; for it hath been given to the nations: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.

11:2

And the court which is outside (Outside of the Light, the nations; heathen Ezekiel 42:14;) the temple (The body) leave out, and measure it not; (Against the word, to line up the plumb line and the level of Righteousness. Do not judge The natural man, the heathen. Matthew 7:1;) I Corinthians 5:13; Those who are outside God  judges.  for it has been given to the nations: (Word # 1482, Ethnos; a multitude whether of men or of beasts associated or living together a company, troop, nation, people group in not worshipping the true God, Pagans The natural man, the Heathen, the Gentiles;) and they shall tread under foot (Have under control) the holy city (God’s people) forty-two months. (Time, times and a half of a time; 3 ½ years; 1260 days. The first half of the hour of salvation. #42;) [Zedek’s note: F.B. sees this period as the entire period of time from Jesus’ crucifixion to the establishment of his kingdom at his second coming.  I agree with him.  This is the only interpretation of this that makes sense to me.]

In Matthew 1:17; the Number 42, is the number of the Generation of Jesus and is associated with the Comings of Jesus: both His first coming and His second advent (He came into the world the first time in the 42nd generation from Abraham). He is coming back for His saints at the end of the 42-month reign of the beast, perhaps 42 months during the beast’s reign, while His saints are in the wilderness. He will return to the earth at the end of the 42-month reign of the beast to put an end to the wicked reign. The number 42 also indicates the timing of entering into the promised land, since there were 42 camp movements in the wilderness by Israel; they crossed over the Jordan to the Promised Land on the 42^nd movement. Like the Israelites coming out of Egypt, our goal is to cross over and possess our inheritance and enter into the rest and promises of God for eternity. The 43^rd movement is possessing the land. 4 +3 = 7; (The number  (#7) is the number of Divine, complete, endless, covenant and perfection.) This comes when the fight of faith is no more, when doubt and fear no longer can attack. Jesus will return and come for us before the end of 2009.  We are the 42^nd Generation about to embark on the 43^rd movement to possess our land. The number 43 is the same as 430, which means: Dividing and separating, separation from sin, other side, a dividing. Israelites were in Egypt 430 years. Genesis 11:17  Eber (source of the word “Hebrew” opposite or other side Jordan) lived 430 years after he begat Peleg  (Word #6389 Peleg, meaning; a division). To divide and separate from the sin nature. After 430 years in Egypt, God swore that that generation would be done away and not enter the promised land.

Numbers 32:13; The Lord’s anger burned against Israel and He made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until the entire generation of those who had done evil in the sight of the Lord were destroyed.

Now one generation is destroyed and another given hope of salvation. The Lord says in,

Luke 9:56; For the Son of man did not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them.

Matthew 24:34; Truly I say to you, this generation (42) will not pass away until all these things take place.”

Exodus 13:3,4;

Moses said to the people, “Remember this day in which you went out from Egypt, from the house of slavery; for by a powerful hand the LORD brought you out from this place. And nothing leavened shall be eaten.:4; On this day in the month of Abib, you are about to go forth.

As we leave Chapter Ten of Revelation and the little book, we immediately see the same time periods mentioned as in the Book of Daniel. The last half of the Daniels’ 70^th week is not only The Latter Day Rain, but also the time rain is withheld (Understanding of the Truth) by the two witnesses and the time when Satan spews out of his mouth the flood of lies. So, there is a water of words are filling the earth. God’s covenant of the Rainbow is that He would never again destroy the Earth with a flood.  God’s messengers Of The Word, His Angels, are waging war with the dragon. (Elijah predicts drought, i.e., no rain [Understanding] except by my Word. I Kings 17:1; 18:1;)

Daniel 9:26 

 And after the sixty-two weeks Messiah shall be cut off, but not for Himself; And the people of the prince who is to come Shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end of it shall be with a flood (Of lies) And till the end of the war,  desolations are determined. (Isaiah 10:23 A desolation overflowing with Righteousness.)

The silence of ½ hour found in Revelation 8:1 and this forty-two months is the same 3 ½  year period of no rain of spiritual words and thoughts on the Natural  or Carnal Man.  I Kings 17:1.18:1; (Note Revelation 8:1;10:4;11:3,6;12:6;)

The battle is the Lord’s

II Corinthians 10:3 

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, 4 for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. 5 We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we (Those who are Spiritual) are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ, 6 and we (FATHER, SON AND HOLY SPIRIT) are ready to punish all disobedience, whenever your obedience is complete. (Perfect)

The beast or the man of sin is to be destroyed with the brightness of our Lord’s coming. “For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming. (II Thessalonians 2:7-8)

II Thessalonians 2:11-12 

with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie. 12 that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness. (Note Revelation 9:7,9; 12:6)

Isaiah 66:4;

I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not. False Prophets Quote right from the Bible which is the Word of Truth, but they only give you half truth of the word, therefore turning the Truth into a lie. Most false prophets believe what they are saying, but isn’t that true of most habitual liars. The strong delusion is that they should believe half truths that do not give the full picture of Truth. Satan tried this as a false prophet with Jesus, but Jesus knew the full word, and was not deceived. 

Matthew 4:1-11 Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. 2 And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward He was hungry. 3 Now when the tempter (Satan) came to Him, he said, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.” 4 But He (Jesus) answered and said, It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. 5 Then the devil took Him up into the holy city, set Him on the pinnacle of the temple, 6 and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down. For it is written: ‘He shall give His angels charge over you,’ and, ‘In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone. 7 Jesus said to him, “It is written again, (Jesus) answered and said, It is written, ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God. 8 Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. 9 And he said to Him, “All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me. 10 Then Jesus said to him, “Away with you, Satan! For it is written, (Jesus) answered and said, It is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve. 11 Then the devil left Him, and behold, angels came and ministered to Him

Here are the scriptures listed where we see the same periods of time.

(Time, times and a half of a time; 1260 days; Forty-two months) 

(Note: Same color script, is the same event)

Daniel 7:25 - ‘He will speak out against the Most High and wear down the saints of the Highest One, and he will intend to make alterations in times and in law; and they will be given into his hand for a time, times, and half a time. No Rain; Rain withheld; Satan’s Flood of lies.

Daniel 12:7 - I heard the man dressed in linen, who was above the waters (Words of Truth and lies, Both Good and evil spoken for God’s purpose. I Samuel 16:14-16;  I Kings 22:22,23)    Both Truth and lies,  of the river, as he raised his right hand and his left toward heaven, and swore by Him who lives forever that it would be for a time, times, and half a time; and as soon as they finish shattering the power of the holy people, all these will be completed. (NOTE: Revelation 12:15)

Revelation 11:2  Leave out the court which is outside the temple and do not measure it, for it has been given to the nations; and they will tread under foot the holy city for forty-two months. No Rain Rain withheld; Satan’s Flood of lies.

Revelation 11:3  And I will grant authority to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for twelve hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth Latter Day Rain

Revelation 12:6,7 Then the woman fled into the wilderness where she had a place prepared by God, so that there she would be nourished for one thousand two hundred and sixty days. 7 And there was war in heaven, Michael and his angels waging war with the dragon Latter Day Rain  (Note: Revelation 9:9; 11:7;12:6,7,12) Same time as Green Script

Revelation 12:14 But the two wings of the great eagle were given to the woman, so that she could fly into the wilderness to her place, where she was nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent. Latter Day Rain Same time as Green Script

Revelation 13:5 There was given to him a mouth speaking arrogant words and blasphemies, and authority to act for forty-two months was given to him. No Rain; Rain withheld; Satan’s Flood of lies.

Theses time periods (Time, times and a half of a time; 1260 days; Forty-two months) all end with the same spiritual meaning: That is, Christ’s appearing. Either Christ is formed within us, making us a “Son of God” (1260 is the Gematria for the SONS OF GOD) When we see Him we will be like Him!

Revelation 10:6

and swore by him that lives forever and ever, who created the heaven and the things that are therein, and the earth and the things that are therein, and the sea and the things that are therein, that there shall be delay no longer:

10:6

and swore by Him that lives forever and ever, Who created the heaven and the things that are therein, and the earth and the things that are therein, and the sea and the things that are therein,

that there shall be delay no longer:

Habakkuk 2:2-3,

And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that reads it.:3;For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come,  it will  not delay.

Isaiah 10:25-26; For yet a very little while and the indignation will cease, as will My anger in their destruction. (Isaiah 26:20 Come, my people, enter into your chambers and shut your doors about you: hide yourself for a little moment, until the indignation runs its course. [Secret place with God, where we become intimate with Him to KNOW Him.]) 26 And the Lord of hosts will stir up a scourge for him like the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb; (The separation started with September 11^th 2001 with God’s call to repent)

This is the same separation of the righteous that God did in Judges Chapter 7; with Gideon’s 300, so that, His righteous ones’ power would be broken completely. When the odds are so stacked against us that it requires intervention by God, then we will be forced to believe what we could not see by faith. Therefore, the number of the Righteous Remnant would be so small that God would have to be given the credit for the victory of the battle. (The fight of faith won by Practicing His righteousness.) They, the Righteous Remnant, would be in the constant flow of His power, called grace; which would be the only source of their power. This is accomplished by practicing righteousness by confession of our sins. By lining up our thoughts, truly believing His word, which is, My righteous ones shall live by faith. (Romans 4:3) When our power is destroyed, (Daniel 12:7) we are separated from the tares (Matthew 13:30; and the goats Matthew 25:32) These are they who are trying to please God, by the works of their hand, rather than by faith, of practicing righteousness, for God to do His Works through them. They want to control themselves, by their way of thinking, not by trusting or believing God, that He will do His Works, through them, when they walk in His Light, once they have returned to Him for fellowship, after being cleansed, by practicing righteousness.

Hebrews 10:37; FOR YET IN A VERY LITTLE WHILE, HE WHO IS COMING WILL COME, AND WILL NOT DELAY. :38 But my righteous ones (Exodus. 19:4-6; Deuteronomy 7:6,7; I Peter 2:9;) shall live by faith: And if he shrinks back, my soul has no pleasure in him.

John 20:29;

Jesus said to him, (Thomas) because, you have seen me, you have believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet believe.(By Faith) Faith, believes God’s word (By practicing righteousness, in Christ) even though we do not see the manifestation in the natural, because we know it will come. His word will not return to Him Void. Though Thomas did not see Jesus it did not change the fact that Jesus had returned and was raised from the dead, just when His word said He would. When we see that only God is the source of all wisdom, knowledge and understanding to reveal

The  MYSTERY of the appointed time

not by rote, we have truly died to self and confess Jesus as Lord of His/our temple: by acknowledging our sin and coming into agreement with God’s Word of Truth, John 1:1; (Daniel 2: 8, 9,16,18,21,28.29,30) (Note: Revelation 6:11; 9:7,10,16; 20:8; @ Ezekiel 38:4)

Revelation 10:7

but in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, then is finished the mystery of God, according to the good tidings which he declared to his servants the prophets.

10:7

but in the days of the voice (Last Trumpet) of the seventh (Perfect SEVEN the number of: Divine, endless, complete, perfection and are the early and latter rain. ) angel, (Jesus) when He is about to sound, then, the mystery Amos 3:7   Surely the Lord God will do nothing, except that He reveal His secrets to His servants the prophets. (Those who Practice Righteousness) of

God is finished, as He preached according to the good tidings (His Word) which He declared to His servants the prophets. (A True Prophet is one who sees and speaks the Truth of God. These last two verses are a perfect example of our spiritual jigsaw puzzle, of how God’s words are puzzle pieces.)

Daniel 12:7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and swore by him that lives for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and a half; and when they have made an end of breaking in pieces the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.

Daniel 9:24. “Seventy (# 70, is the number before increase.) weeks have been decreed for your people (The righteous remnant are the True Jews Romans 2:29 With a circumcision of the heart) and your holy city, (Meaning: The heavenly Jerusalem, a group of people who are perfect by practicing righteousness, through faith, because their natural, carnal power broken.)

The Seventy weeks are: 490 years of Jewish autonomy, Jews ruling Jews with Jerusalem as their capital, cut out of the Time of Gentile dominion;

to finish the transgression,

to make an end of sin,

to make atonement for iniquity,

to bring in everlasting righteousness,

to seal up vision and prophecy

and to anoint the most holy place

Job 4:20;

Between morning and evening they are destroyed: They are broken into pieces.

Jeremiah 2:19;

Your own wickedness shall correct you, your backsliding shall reprove you:

In Esther 2:14, we find that Esther is called by the King to come into His presence between evening and morning to be intimate with Him. She goes into His presence in the darkness and comes out in the Light. The time we don’t spend with our Creator is between morning and evening. This is when we are destroyed. When we are not intimate with our Creator, by spending time in fellowship with Him, our old nature is being destroyed.

II Corinthians 5:17

Behold all things become new. By Practicing Righteousness we put to death the old man and are made new by a spiritual birth.

Job 29:21-23; :21 To Me men listened and waited, And kept silence for My counsel (THE MESSAGE OF THE GOSPEL OF GRACE).

:22 (#22, is the number of crucifixion) After My words they did not speak again; And My speech dropped on them. (John 14:10; Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I say unto you I speak not from myself: but the Father abiding in me does his works.)

:23 (#23, is the number of Jesus) And they waited for Me as for the rain; And they opened their mouth wide [as] for the latter rain. The very time we are in right now. This is when the message of GRACE is preached which is the GOOD NEWS of the Gospel of Truth on earth. The event of Pentecost was the first 3½ years of the pouring out of the latter rain on earth, or the first 1/2 hour of the hour of salvation. The second 3½ years is the Latter Day Rain, of the anointing of the Holy Spirit, poured out and living through those who are practicing righteousness while on earth. It is the last Half of the week of Daniel’s 70^th week. The two half weeks total SEVEN DAYS.  Seven is the number of: Divine, complete, endless perfection which is brought by the early and latter rain through the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Together this makes up the hour of Salvation.

Revelation 10:8

And the voice which I heard from heaven, [I heard it] again speaking with me, and saying, Go, take the book which is open in the hand of the angel that stands upon the sea and upon the land.

10:8 

And the voice (Last Trumpet) which I heard from heaven, [I heard it] again, (His Word is established and confirmed) II Corinthians 13:1; This is the third time I am coming to you. At the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established. (Confirmed)  speaking with me, and saying, Go, take (Take hold, possess for yourself, make it part of yourself) the book (Book of Daniel) which is open (Unsealed) in the hand (Power) of the angel (Jesus) that stands (Whose choices are Firm and Sure) on the sea (Mankind) and on the land. (We are also the land: the promises of God, the Church, His body. Psalm 103:14; For he knows our frame; he remembers that we are but dust.) In Daniel Chapter 12 we see that there are “two others,” but only one speaks. These two are the two witnesses which represent His Word followed by His Works. The works always confirm the word.  “By their fruit you shall know them,” which means, “By their works you shall know they belong to Me.”

Revelation 10:9

And I went unto the angel, saying unto him that he should give me the little book. And he saith unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but in thy mouth it shall be sweet as honey.

10:9

And I went to the angel, saying to Him, that He should give me

the little book. (Seeking God, God waits for those who seek Him.) And He said to me, Take it, (Accept and receive this book of God’s Word) and eat it up; (Make it part of you; take and eat all of it; Study all the Word)

Luke 22:19;

for this is My body which was given for you, do (Practice) this in remembrance of Me. This is how we remember Jesus, it means: to study (By eating His Word) His Word, to KNOW Him, intimately as a Husband and wife, become one.   (Zedek’s Note: Communion really speaks of partaking of Christ’s truth.  The bread and the wine is the Word and the Spirit.  Communion has nothing to do with sharing literal bread and wine like most churches do.  Jesus said, “My words are SPIRIT.”  We must seek the spirit of his words!)

and it shall make your belly (Word # 2836 Koilia, Meaning belly, the soul, heart as the seat of thought, feeling, choice) bitter, (Old nature is killed) but in your mouth (Where we call into being with our words) it shall be sweet as honey.(Words of life that bring forth rewards.)

When we take Christ’s word into our mouths, we start to produce the fruit of a Word Tree.  Our words become Words of Righteousness.

Ezekiel 2:1-10;

1 And He said to me, “Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak to you.” 2 Then the Spirit entered me when He spoke to me, and set me on my feet; and I heard Him who spoke to me. 3 And He said to me: “Son of man, I am sending you to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that has rebelled against Me; they and their fathers have transgressed against Me to this very day. 4 For they are impudent and stubborn children. I am sending you to them, and you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God.’ 5 As for them, whether they hear or whether they refuse–for they are a rebellious house–yet they will know that a prophet has been among them. 6 ”And you, son of man, do not be afraid of them nor be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with you and you dwell among scorpions;(Scorpions sting with their tail, and in Isaiah 9:15 we find that tails are teachers of falsehood.  Scorpions, thus, are false prophets) do not be afraid of their words or dismayed by their looks, though they are a rebellious house. 7 You shall speak My words to them, whether they hear or whether they refuse, for they are rebellious. 8 But you, son of man, hear what I say to you. Do not be rebellious like that rebellious house; open your mouth and eat what I give you.” [Zedek’s note: I did not seek out F.B., but he found me and was led to communicate with me.  God had given him words that I believe He also wanted me to eat.  I have been and am still eating them.  This is also why I am posting them... they are prophetic revelation for God’s people with ears to hear] 9 Now when I looked, there was a hand stretched out to me; and behold, a scroll of a book was in it. 10 Then He spread it before me; and there was writing on the inside and on the outside, and written on it were lamentations and mourning and woe.

Revelation 10:10

And I took the little book out of the angel’s hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and when I had eaten it, my belly was made bitter.

10:10 And I took the little book out of the angel’s hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and when I had eaten it, (Digested the Word, studied and made it part of myself) my belly was made bitter. (My Old bestial soul must be killed.) (NOTE: Revelation 13:6; 16:3-6)

My old sinful, rebellious man is killed by the bitterness of the Word (as Bitter water).  As we eat God’ Word we learn to stand and wait on Him, to produce what is promised. (The Word ultimately becomes Sweet water, as honey) Jesus is killing the old bestial man through His Word. In Exodus 15 we find the bitter water at Marah made sweet and now we see the sweet water made bitter. (Wormwood) He is undoing creation to make new. (Note: Revelation 8:10,11) 

God’s word is true and faithful. God always starts from His finished work because as soon a  thing is spoken from His mouth, it is accomplished It will not return to Him Void.  It will accomplish the thing for which it was sent. (Isaiah 55:11;) The old nature is killed by practicing Righteousness and living by faith.

Ezekiel 3:1-10;  

1 Moreover He said to me, “Son of man, eat what you find; eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel.” 2 So I opened my mouth, and He caused me to eat that scroll. 3 And He said to me, “Son of man, feed your belly, and fill your stomach with this scroll that I give you.” So I ate, and it was in my mouth like honey in sweetness. 4 Then He said to me: “Son of man, go to the house of Israel and speak with My words to them. 5 For you are not sent to a people of unfamiliar speech and of hard language, but to the house of Israel, 6 not to many people of unfamiliar speech and of hard language, whose words you cannot understand. Surely, had I sent you to them, they would have listened to you. 7 But the house of Israel will not listen to you, because they will not listen to Me; for all the house of Israel are impudent and hard-hearted. 8 Behold, I have made your face strong against their faces, and your forehead strong against their foreheads. 9 Like adamant stone, harder than flint, I have made your forehead; do not be afraid of them, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house.” 10 Moreover He said to me: “Son of man, receive into your heart all My words that I speak to you, and hear with your ears.

Revelation 10:11

And they say unto me, you must prophesy again over many peoples and nations and tongues and kings.

10:11

And they (The seven peals of thunder, Jesus; The Perfect, [#7] Witness, Words and Works of God)

The book of Daniel directs us, at first glance, when we use, the United Nations Decree of 11/29/1947, to a date at the end of a countdown of 70  weeks, that is staggering in it’s confirmations. May 13^th 2001, in the US. Is May 14^th in Israel, which is it’s independence Day or Birthday. The 1290 days we are instructed to count in Daniel 12:11 concerning the Abomination of Desolation, takes us to    October 31^st. Halloween or All Hallows Eve.  Another: Road Sign and Signposts.

Matthew 24:15;

Therefore when you see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (Whoever reads, let him understand), 

The evening before we become Holy or Perfect by practicing Righteousness, we are an Abomination of Desolation, Desolate without Christ in His rightful seat, His  throne, in His Temple of our lives. We arrived at this date, (5/13/2001) by counting from the United Nations decree of November 29^th 1947, namely to restore and rebuild Israel as a nation. But that is not where we are instructed to start the count from. God, does not consider Israel a nation, without Jerusalem, HIS HOLY CITY, as it’s Capital. Therefore, we must be careful to obey and follow the Lord’s instruction, PRECISELY.

In order for us to see that we are the Abomination of Desolation, (Let him understand, the abomination of desolation is each one of us.) God caused us to use a date, which would take us by an important Road Sign and Signpost. The Lord did this, not only to show us who we really are without Christ in His rightful seat, but to cause us to live by faith, standing firm on His word, though we did not See. Remember Hebrews 11:1; Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, conviction of things not seen.

You Must Prophesy Again

And say  to me, You must prophesy (Word # to prophesy, to be a prophet, speak forth by divine inspirations, to predict, to prophesy with the idea of foretelling future events pertaining ESP. to the kingdom of God to utter forth, declare, a thing which can only be known by divine revelation.) again (Word # 3825 Palin, Meaning; anew, again renewal or repetition of the action again, anew; again, i.e. further, moreover, in turn, on the other hand.) over many peoples and nations and tongues and kings. (For all people.)

The Knesset, of Israel, issued the decree itself, to restore and rebuild  Jerusalem as the Capital of Israel on  January 23^rd 1950

Daniel 9:25;

 So you are to know and understand from the issuing of a decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem the Messiah:

The appointed time had arrived and the Book of Daniel was unsealed. so we can understand, Spiritually.) standing upon the sea and upon the land lifted up his right hand to heaven, (Daniel: 2:8, 9,16,18,21,28.29,30) This is the same picture we see in Daniel 12:7; which reveals: the appointed time of Jesus’ return.

Following the instructions of The Book of Daniel and Revelation 10:11,

We must prophesy again from the date of the new decree, by the Knesset. January 23^rd 1950 we count in Daniel 9:25 (7 weeks or 49 Full years) Daniel 9:27, the last week of 7 years takes us to: 2008 a Sabbatical year.

Deuteronomy 1-3; 

“Every commandment which I command you today you must be careful to observe, that you may live and multiply, and go in and possess the land of which the Lord swore to your fathers. 2 And you shall remember that the Lord your God led you all the way these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you and test you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments. 3 So He humbled you, allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna which you did not know nor did your fathers know, that He might make you know that man shall not live by bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the Lord.

2009 IS A YEAR OF HARVEST

In Matthew 13, we find the parable of the sower and the tares. (Looks like wheat, in which, to make false spiritual bread, in other words, falsehoods, lies.) The tares grow together with the wheat until the harvest. At that time the angels separated the wheat (The Sheep) from the tares (The Goats, those who are connected to the Harlot Babylon, or, are Heathen.) and the tares will be burned, by God’s consuming Fire., These are they who are trying to please God by the works, rather than by faith, of practicing righteousness, for God to do His Works through them. They want to control themselves, and their way of thinking.

Matthew 13:30;

Let both grow together (In the Harlot Church, the church built with hands.) until the harvest: and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather up first the tares, and bind them in bundles to Burt them; but gather the wheat into my barn.)
