Revelation 9:16

And the number of the armies of the horsemen: Was Two Hundred Million: I heard the number of them.

9:16

And the number of the armies of the horsemen (Those who sit upon the Horse, who have a beast under control. The LORD’S army of The Remnant) (Note: Revelation 9:7,16; 20:8; @ Ezekiel 38:4)

In the Book of Esther, we find that King Ahasuerus, is a perfect picture, (Shadow and type) of Jesus. Note: I have capitalized the pronouns to emphasize, that Ahasuerus, represents Jesus.

Esther 1:3-4;

In the third year of His reign, He made a feast for all His princes and His servants; the army [officers], of Persia and Media, (Persia  means: separated. A horseman; divided; Media means: Extended of the Lord; Jehovah; root = to measure; He of the measured; my garments. Robes of righteousness made of fine linen is The righteous deeds of the saints. Revelation 19:8; 21:16; We are the measured city; the New Jerusalem, adorned as a bride. Revelation 21:2) the nobles and princes of the provinces, (Under the judgment and rule of the King) being in His Presence;

Esther 1:4 When He showed the riches of His glorious kingdom and the honor of His excellent majesty many days, even a hundred and fourscore days. (180 days)

The horsemen in Revelation 9:16, are these horsemen referred to in Esther. Look also in Esther 1: 3 and 4;

Esther 1:13,14;

Then the King said to the wise men, who knew the times, for so was the King’s manner toward all that knew law and judgment;

:14 and the next unto him were Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, and Memucan, the seven princes of Persia and Media, who saw the king’s face, and sat first in the kingdom,

The Interpretation of theses four verses:

1:3,“in the third year of his reign, he gave a banquet for all his princes and attendants, the army officers of Persia and Media, the nobles, and the princes of his provinces being in his presence.

1:4, “and he displayed the riches of his royal glory and the splendor of his great majesty for many days, 180 days,”

The Interpretation

* During the last  (Last half of Daniel’s last or seventieth week) 3 ½ years (third year + 180 days) of The Latter Day Rain on His remnant, He gave a wedding feast where Lamb was offered (banquet) for all His horsemen, who were separated  unto God and the divided of the sheep and the goats, (princes and attendants, the army officers of Persia and Media)

Revelation 9:16; Continued.

Was Two Hundred Million: I heard the number of them. (This is another example of the parallelism of the book of Revelation. God uses the same wordage to describe the  144,000. in Revelation 7:4;  I heard the number of them. Then in,  Revelation 7:9 there is a number too large to count. After these things I saw, and behold, a great multitude, which no man could number. His great multitude is the Two Hundred Million.)

I want to be in that number!!!

These are they that have come through the Great Tribulation, (Revelation 7:14;) If we compare this group with the 144,000 sealed Remnant from Revelation 7 and the expanded great multitude of God’s army, who are able to be victorious in Spiritual Battle, we find God is adding to His number, those from the Great Tribulation and has enlisted them for His service. God is building His Temple.

Isaiah 9:7
There will be no end to the increase of His government or of peace, On the throne of David and over his kingdom, To establish it and to uphold it with justice and righteousness from then on and forevermore The zeal of the LORD of hosts will accomplish this.

was Two (Note: Revelation 11:3) (Two [#2] is the number of witness) Hundred  (Note: Revelation 16:21)

In Scripture, we find several verses that paint a picture concerning the word HUNDRED, starting in, Isaiah 65:20, right before this verse, the lord is talking about those who practice righteousness, in verses, 13 – 18, in verse, 18 – 23, He tells us about New Jerusalem and His Kingdom.

No longer will there be an infant who lives but a few days, nor an old man who does not fill out his days; for the child shall die a hundred years old, and the one [the sinner, KJV.] who does not reach a hundred years old shall be accursed. This Hundred, (Represents: His Light of Truth that exposes all that is not of Him, directing and enabling us on our path to endure God’s Judgment unto Spiritual full age and maturity; Word, #8180 from the root word, #8176 To think, estimate: a measure: to split, to open, as a door; from the word, #8179: to discern; to act as a gatekeeper (Note: Revelation 6:6; 11:1; 14:20) is clarified, even further in The Book of Jeremiah 52:12-23; Starting in vs. 20. A Gatekeeper is one who watches the entrance to the Temple or masters House, to see that no unwanted enemy may enter. A Gatekeeper is the protector of the Spiritual.

Jeremiah 52:20-23;

The two (Note: Revelation 3 :2 and 3) (Two [#2] is the number of witness, The WORD and WORKS) pillars, (Supports of the Temple) the one sea, and the twelve brazen bulls that were under the bases, which king Solomon had made for the house of the Lord, the brass (Represents: able to endure God’s Judgment.)  of all these vessels (We are the vessels, II Timothy 2:20.)  was without weight. (Weight which the Lord carries. Psalm 55:22; Matthew 11:30; For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.) :21 And as for the pillars, the height of the one (The Word) pillar  (Support of the Temple) was eighteen (The [#18] is the number of reconciliation) cubits; and a line of twelve (The [#12] is the number of Divine government) cubits did compass it; and the thickness thereof was four (The [#4] is the number of the world) fingers: it was hollow.

Therefore, the meaning of the numbers in this verse would spell:

The One God, whose name is the Word, #1 has reconciled us #18to His Divine Government, #12 because we are of the world #4 and hollow, weak without Him. :22 And a capital [Head or top] of brass [Able to endure God’s Judgment.] Their thinking was made brass, able to go through life learning that God’s JUDGMENT is the Way, He Thinks, His Will, it is His Light and because they love God, by practicing righteousness, they endured and are changed by God’s Grace. was upon it; and the height of the one capital was five [The number of Grace] cubits, with network and pomegranates upon the capital round about, all of brass: and the second [Number of witness] pillar [The Works, also a support of the Temple] also, including pomegranates. :23 And there were ninety-six (The number 96, is made up of [#9] God’s fullness and [#6] the number of man, hence, [#96] is the number of God’s Fullness for Man.) pomegranates (The symbol of the priest of God and for the fullness of the law. The Pomegranate contains 613 seeds, as the book of Leviticus contains 613 laws?) on the exposed [windward sides]; all the pomegranates were a hundred (Able to endure God’s Judgment unto full age or maturity; Word, #8180 from the root word, #8176 To think, estimate: a measure: to split, to open, as a door: from word, #8179: to act as a gatekeeper; Light of Truth that exposes all that is not of Him.) upon the network all around.

This represent glorified man as part of God’s Divine Government.

We find in Ezekiel Chapters 41 and 42, that the measurements of the Temple, from gate to Inner court are measurements of a hundred. [Able to endure God’s Judgment, unto Spiritual full age and maturity.] A Gatekeeper is one who watches the entrance to the Temple or masters House, to see that no unwanted enemy may enter. A Gatekeeper is the protector of the Spiritual. Remember, we are the Temple of God and we are to take every thought captive before allowing to enter our Temple.

I Peter 2:5

You, also, as living stones, are built up a spiritual house,(Temple made without hands.) to be a holy (by Practicing Righteousness) priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, (Ourselves) acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

Million: (Descendants of Isaac and Rebekah’s who practice righteousness and have become the true GATEKEEPERS of the Temple of God. Teachers of Righteousness, who have entered Philadelphia, Brotherly Love, in order to intercede for all Mankind. Daniel 12:3; And they who have insight shall shine as the brightness of the  expanse of heaven; and they that turn many to righteousness,[To practice righteousness] as the stars for ever and ever.)

I heard the number of them.

In the Book of Isaiah Chapter 46:10; The word says, that the end shall be told from the beginning. Therefore, let us go to the Book of Genesis, to find out what the word Million [of thousands of ten thousands] means.

Genesis 24:60;

And they [her sisters] blessed Rebekah, (Wife of Isaac) and said to her, Our sister, be thou the mother, of thousands of millions and let thy seed possess the gate (Gatekeepers of the entrance to the spiritual things of the Temple.)  of those that hate them.

In II Kings 7: 1-20; We find the Gatekeeper of spiritual things, is selling that which is meant to be free. (Represented by: flour Meal, corn, barley are forms of grain which make bread. Bread represents spiritual food. Bread represented Jesus’ body. The bible is a Spiritual Book, and thus meant to be searched for the types and shadows and taken spiritually.)

Isaiah 55:1; Come buy from Me that which is free Without money, without costs. (Note: Revelation 6:6, 13:17;)

We find the real meaning is that there is a spiritual famine going on.

Isaiah 28:6;

And a spirit of justice [Righteousness] to him (I John 3:7; [My] little children, let no man lead you astray: he that practices righteousness is righteous, even as He is righteous:) that sits in judgment, and strength (Power of Grace) to them (Who Practices Righteousness)  that repel the onslaught [turn back the battle of those starving Spiritually, for they are even willing to eat, defiled spiritual food, contaminated with the flesh] at the gate.

The battle at the gate is that, there is a spiritual famine going on. But just as when there is a natural famine, people are so hungry to be fed, that they do not examine or test, what they are eating spiritually. The one who practices righteousness, is walking in the fellowship with the Light of Truth, his word is tested and pure for he is separated from the Harlot Babylon, unto truth and He feeds him pure, unadulterated words of Truth.

When we add the meaning of these scripture together we have,

Two (Two [#2] is the number of witness) (Note: Revelation 11:3)

Hundred (Able to endure God’s Judgment unto Spiritual full age and maturity; Word, #8180 from the root word, #8176 To think, estimate: a measure: to split, to open, as from word, #8179: to discern; to act as a gatekeeper; (Note: Revelation 11:1; 14:20)

Million: (Descendants of Isaac and Rebekah’s in Genesis 24:60;who practice righteousness and have become the true GATEKEEPERS of the Temple of God. Teachers of Righteousness, who have entered Philadelphia, Brotherly Love in order to intercede for all Mankind confessing their sin as if it is our own. Daniel 12:3; And they who have insight shall shine as the brightness of the expanse of heaven; and they that turn many to righteousness, [To practice righteousness] as the stars for ever and ever. )

The Interpretation of the

TWO HUNDRED MILLION,

(Those who practice righteousness, the Remnant and Elect of God, those who are God’s witnesses of the WORD and WORKS of God flowing through them, speaking Righteousness, who have become [John 5:30,-39; 14:10.] (Note: Revelation 11) the true GATEKEEPERS of the Temple of God. These are the Teachers of, how to Practice Righteousness, who have entered Philadelphia, Brotherly Love, in order to intercede for all Mankind, (Note: Revelation 3:13;) and who are the fulfillment of the law, who intercede for all Mankind, who love their neighbor as themselves. How does one, become a member of God’s Chosen, the Remnant and the Elect? Matthew 6:33; But seek first His kingdom, [To know Him intimately] and His righteousness; [By Practicing Righteousness, cleansed from each sin quickly, when committed.] and all these things shall be added  to you.)

Hidden Spiritual Symbols Reveal Secrets

In Genesis 6:3; Then the Lord said, My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, because he also is flesh; nevertheless his days shall be one hundred and twenty years. Many of us know that this means, Jubilee (50) Years or 120(years) x 50 (Jubilee years) equals 6000 years. We are about to end the sixth (6^th) day and enter the Seventh (7^th) day of Gods REST.

II Peter 3:8;

But do not let this one fact not escape your notice, that with the Lord one days is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day.”

GOD TELLS US THE POPULATION OF THE WORLD,

 AT THE END OF TIME.

Jonah 4:11;

Should I not have compassion on Nineveh, the great city in which there are more than 120,000 persons who do not know the difference between their right hand (Represents Grace, where God’s Words and Works flow through us.) and left (Represents works by their own efforts, or hand,) as well as many animals. (The word animals here is the #929 in Strongs, Hebrew text, meaning, beast,) There is a ratio equation between Genesis 6:3 and Jonah 4:11. That’s a fancy way of saying there is a the difference between the 0’s, 120,000 and 120. What’s the difference? Three 0’s, (000), so, to get the same ratio between the verses we would add 000. So as in Genesis 6:3, 120 x 50 would be the same ratio as 120,000 times 50,000. So, multiply the numbers, 120,000 x 50,000  and they = 6,000,000,000. Look at what Jonah is talking about, a city, In which there are more than 120,000 persons. He is talking about population. On October 12^th 1999, (Oct. 12^th just happens to be Columbus Day, the day we celebrate the New World!) the United Nations announced that the World had reached a population of Six Billion (6,000,000,000) People. God told us, through the prophet Jonah, that the End-Time population of the earth would be more than 6,000,000,000 persons, whom He would have compassion on, four hundred years before the birth of Christ.  Remember these equations started with multiplying Jubilee years. As we have found numbers, as well as words, have extremely important meanings and definitions. In Judges 7, we find Gideon’s 300, who represent The Chosen of God, who would be separated by God, to become The Remnant. These are they, who let their light shine forth out of their earthen vessels, by practicing righteousness. With God’s Grace flowing through them, they enter Brotherly Love. (The [#3] is, of course, the number of the trinity. [#30] is the number of being ready ministry and [#300] is the number of the Remnant and Elect.)

On Halloween, October 31^st. 2006 the world’s population clock, reached 6,666,666,666 people.. 666 being the number of the Beast.

Judges 7:2-7;

And the Lord said to Gideon, (One who cuts down.) The people that are with you are too many for Me to give the Midianites into their hand, for Israel (The Nation, Natural man) would become boastful,… saying,

My own power has delivered me.

:3 Now therefore proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, Who ever is fearful and trembling, let him return and depart from mount Gilead. (Perpetual fountain, a witness, a mass of testimony.) And there returned of the people twenty two thousand [22,000]; and there remained ten thousand (22,000 + 10,000 = 32,000 total who were with Gideon This represents the total of the Harlot Church or earthly Jerusalem or groups which self-identify as part of Christianity, which are approximately 33% of the world population. (World Christian Encyclopedia) The world population is just under 7 Billion people, therefore, the Harlot Church or earthly Jerusalem would represent a number of approximately 2.2 Billion people.)  :4 And The LORD said to Gideon, The people are yet too many; (For they will try to take credit for their own deliverance)

But, God will make the number so small, so that no man could take credit for God’s, deliverance, the work of His, hands. So that, we will know, He Alone is God.

bring them down unto the water, and I will try (To test; meaning to try them like Gold) them for you there: and it shall be, that of whom I say to you, This one shall go with you, the same shall go with you; and of whomsoever I say to you, This shall not go with you, the same shall not go with you. Judges 7:5 So he brought down the people to the water: and the Lord said to Gideon, you shall separate everyone that laps of the water with his tongue, as a dog laps,; as well as everyone that kneels to drink. I Corinthians 5:2, 6-9,11;

:6 And the number of them that lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, was three hundred men: [300] but all the rest of the people bowed down upon their knees to drink water.:7 And the Lord said to Gideon, By the three hundred men that lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into thy hand; and let all the people go every man to his place.

Now, let’s look at the numbers mentioned in these verses.

22,000, [#22] is the number of Crucifixion. (Example, Psalm 22) These are, as verse 3 tells us, were those who were afraid and trembled, they chose to go backwards. They have need of being crucified, killed, dead to self, with Christ.

They represent the         NATURAL MAN.

10,000, [#10] is the number of the Law, works of the hands, keeping a set of rules we cannot keep, because of our weakness. This group represents the [#10] CHURCH BUILT WITH HANDS,        CARNAL MAN.

22,000 + 10,000 = 32,000 total people. Many of us know that, throughout scripture, the number 23 represent Jesus. Probably, the most beautiful example would be the 23^rd Psalm. But another number, that represents Jesus, is the number 32. This number, is the reverse or mirror, of 23, Jesus is the beginning and the end, the Alpha and Omega, the First and Last. 23 and 32 both have a numerical value of 5 the number of Grace. The number 32,000, in verse 3, are the whole group of people, the total. Natural and Carnal Man.. 32,000, [#32] total who were with Gideon.

Out of the 10,000 came 300        SPIRITUAL MAN.

THE REMNANT = 3% come out of Carnal Man

The 300 are those who were tested (As through fire) and separated (From the flesh) by God. (I Corinthians 5:2, 6-9,11;)

The 300 is 3% of 10,000. The 300, 3%, are those who, when at the water, lapped, placing their hand to mouth. Have you ever heard of the old expression, living hand to mouth? Generally, we take this to mean, that one, does not have very much. The term, “Living hand to mouth” can be traced back to the time of America’s great depression (1929-1939) when simple things such knowing when your next meal will be was usually unknown.

It was said that when people especially those living in the great cities found food at places such as ‘Soup Kitchens’ or ‘Bread lines’ they were so hungry that the food went from their hands right into their mouths. It was said that they were eating “Hand to mouth”. Living one day at a time, day to day, as the Lord  instructed us in, Matthew 6:31-34; and in, Luke 11:13; “Give us this day our daily bread.” But, these, are the true worshippers, who drink from God’s hand (Represents power) of Grace. So when they dip their hand into the water, their hand becomes, God’s Word and Works sustaining and flowing through them.

John 4:23;

But an hour coming, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth: for such people the Father seeks to be His worshippers. (The word worshipper is the Greek word #4353, Proskunetes, which is pronounced, Pros-koo-nay-tace, an adorer; a worshipper. taken from the root, #4352, is Proskuneo, which is pronounced, Pros-koo-neh-o, meaning: to kiss, like a dog licking his master’s hand. To fawn; to crouch; to, i.e. prostrate oneself in homage do reverence to adore; – worshipper. The root of, is #4313, meaning: Proporeuomai pronounced, prop-or-yoo-om-ahee, meaning: to procede as a guide or herald.) (Note: Revelation 14:2)

They, are God’s Light, in earthen vessels of flesh, when the flesh is broken, their Light shines forth. With the Trumpet of God, in their hand, they are ready to sound His Word, Judges 7: 16-20. These are the definitions: of the CHOSEN, ELECT, The REMNANT, The RIGHTEOUS REMNANT The 3%, GIDEON’S 300.

Remember, the population of the world is more than SIX BILLION, people. (6,000,000,000) All made in the image of God. Remember also, the fulfillment of the whole Law is to Love the Lord with all your HEART, MIND and SOUL. This is the first great commandment and the second is like unto it. Love your neighbor as yourself. In these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. Matthew 22:37,-40. To enter PHILADELPHIA, is to, Love your neighbor as yourself, confessing their sin as if it is our own, as in Daniel 9:20; and in Nehemiah 1:6; (NOTE: Revelation 3:13; 8:3) Therefore, because God is Light and will not dwell in darkness, and sin, is darkness, the Remnant by practicing righteousness, by loving God to repent and confess their sins, walk in the Light of Fellowship with their Creator, where He hears their prayers. You may think that God is hearing your prayers, but God does not hear prayers unless they are brought to Him in REPENTANCE AND CONFESSION, and He tells us in,

Isaiah 66:3;

He that kills an ox is as he that slays a man; (Bestial man, same level as the ox, the  bestial level.) he that sacrifices a lamb, as he that breaks a dog’s neck; he that offers an oblation, [as he that offers] swine’s blood; he that burns incense, (Prayers on the Altar of Incense, where prayers go up to God.) (NOTE: Revelation 5:8; 8:3,13.) as he that blesses an idol. (Self) Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delights in their abominations: For the prayers of a righteous man avails much. The Remnant of 3%, would intercede for the SIX BILLION Plus, as they would for themselves. God has made the number so small, so that no man could take credit for His work, the work of His hands

HENCE, THE TWO HUNDRED MILLION, OF REVELATION 9:16;

NINE [#9] IS THE NUMBER OF GOD’S FULLNESS AND SIXTEEN [#16] IS THE NUMBER OF LOVE. GOD’S FULLNESS IS LOVE. 

Abraham’s conversation with the Lord, concerning the Righteous.

Genesis 4,32;

Perhaps, there are fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou consume and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein? :32 And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: perhaps, ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for the ten’s sake.

There were not even FIVE.

God is making the number so small, we must give Him, the Honor and Glory for the things He has done, not we ourselves.

Isaiah 66:2

For my hand has made all these things, Thus, all these things came into being, says the Lord: but to this man will I look, to him that is humble and of a contrite spirit, and who trembles at my word.
