-
Here, we clarify with the proper interpretation of Revelation 11.
Many have greatly erred, in supposing this is speaking of a future time solely,
as in Dispensationalism. Others teach it is finished in the past, as in
Preterism. Neither party comprehends it is a complete scenario, and picture of
the TWO ministries of Messiah, within a split timing of the 70th
Week of Daniel
9:24-27. Long before Daniel there is the clear prophecy of two messianic
ministries to Israel, in Isaiah 28 of “here a little” and “there a little.” Therefore, there
is no FULL week of 7 years at either advent of Messiah ministering to Israel.
-
One half of that week is allocated to
each ministry, along with fulfilling the spring, and then later the fall Holy
Days of Lev 23. Moreover, the two aspects of the High Priest service is split
as well. In one, we see him for the first time, going into the sanctuary for
blood atonement. In the other, we see him for the second time, coming out,
doing away with sin, altogether. This is in utilization of two goats, in Lev
16. Within those ministries is indeed the “two witnesses” of Rev 11,
the characteristics of Moses and Elijah in Messiah’s two ministries, as we go
on here to explain.
-
The span of time between those two ministries, as we made clear in
our main publication, BABYLON IS FALLEN,
is specifically due to Lev
26:18-42, “Seven Times more,” Luke 21:24, the “Times of the
Gentiles,” the termination of that being called by Apostle Paul, Romans
11:7-27, the “Fullness of the Gentiles.” This also determined the
span called by many “The Age of Grace,” 30 CE, the Cross, unto the End of the
Seven Times of the Gentiles, 537 BCE to 1984 CE. Both time periods, the larger
(7 x 360 = 2520 years), and the smaller (1954 years) within that 2520, . . .
simultaneously ended in the return of Messiah, to deal in secret solely with
Israel, spring 1984 – fall 1987. This was NOT the public appearing, which IS
indeed when Messiah is seen in the 7th Trumpet / Plague, Rev
1:7, Rev 11:15-19, imminent as we write these pages.
-
There is one ministry from fall 26 to spring 30 CE, and the other from spring
1984 through fall 1987. They are each 3 and 1 / 2 years, or “time, times,
and a half,” or “42 months,” or “1260 days.” The latter ministry
moves passed that set time to other timings, and further revelations of full
truth. They consummate in the blessing of Daniel
9:24, upon which all of the Book of Revelation is focused.
-
Seven Renditions within the Book of Revelation, relate the First and
the Final Ministry, required for full blessing to completely arrive in the
consummation. Each rendition reveals the full 70th Week of Daniel
9. The critical time around Daniel’s Prophecy of 70 Weeks, the
fulfillment by Messiah of the Covenant of God with Israel, releases the
blessings of Daniel
9:24. From there, we have the Full Disclosure, which restores mankind
within his understanding and relationship with his Creator.
-
This is The Resurrection, as well as The Redemption. God’s Sovereignty
is established in all things, in the First and Greatest Commandment. As his
Sons, in the value of that . . . we then
can operate toward one another according to the Second Great Commandment. We
treat His creation and all within it, as we would also desire to be treated.
This is the understanding that Adam forsook for the concept of
self-determination, freewill, and choice. Within the illusion that he had
arrived at little god status, he consummated it by procreating the race with
Eve. Thus, we arrive 6000 years later, coming full circle back to the proper
relationship with our Creator. Therefore, we may walk together again with God.
But this time . . . in full value of all that has gone before, the things we
have learned from that history. Within THAT consideration, there is no fall of
mankind, no failures. Rather, it is 100 percent perfect, the preordained plan
before the world was, with “The End,” already inscribed upon the final page.

Daniel Is the Key to
Revelation,
But Only by Michael
Handling that Key,
Gen 49:10, Daniel 10:21, Isa 22:22, Rev 3:7,
Rev 5:1-5.
-
Each of the Seven Renditions in Revelation is built around the split 70th Week
of Daniel 9. They can only be properly discerned from that strict focus. From
there, one perceives the genuine progression of events, and the true concept of
the Book of Revelation.

-
The Book of Revelation, being an extension given by Jesus to Apostle John out
of the Book of Daniel, finishes those things where Daniel was left in question.
He was told:
-
Daniel 12:13
But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest and stand in thy
lot at the end of the days.
-
In Rev 11, within the full presentation of the Seven Trumpets beginning in Rev
8, we address the Second and most specific of the Seven Renditions, that most
closely align with Daniel and the timings of Daniel
7:24-27, Daniel 9:24-27, and Last of All Daniel 12.
-
Revelation
11
1
And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying,
Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship
therein.
-
What
Is the Temple of God, Prophetically?
-
As always, we must consult the Law and the Prophets to understand
any terminology used in the New Testament.
-
Psalms 40:6-8
6 Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened:
burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.
7
Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it
is written of me,
8
I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.
-
Isa 11: 1-3
1 And there shall come forth a rod
out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:
2
And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and
understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of
the fear of the Lord;
3
And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the Lord: and he shall
not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his
ears:
-
Isa 61:1-3
1 The Spirit of the Lord God is
upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the
meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the
captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
2
To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our
God; to comfort all that mourn;
3
To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes,
the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness;
that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord,
that he might be glorified.
Malachi 3:1-2
1
Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and
the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly
come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in:
behold, he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts.
2
But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appears?
for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap:
-
Mark 1:9-11
9
And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee,
and was baptized of John in Jordan.
10
And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the
Spirit like a dove descending upon him:
11
And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I
am well pleased.
-
II Corinthians 5:19
To
wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing
their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of
reconciliation.
-
John 2:18-22
18
Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign show thou unto us, seeing
that thou doest these things?
19
Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I
will raise it up.
20
Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt
thou rear it up in three days?
21
But he spake of the temple of his body.
22
When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had
said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus
had said.
-
Once again, if we stay with literalism, we will be confused. We will not see
the PROPHETICAL TIMING of Daniel
9:24-27 to which Revelation is referring, as the greater temple of God.
It is directly relative to the Messiah, the smaller, confined Temple of the
Lord, the Ark of the Covenant, as he goes forth to Minister within that
structured timing. Clear clues are
within the first two verses here in Revelation 11. First, the measure is also of the altar,
and extends to “them that worship therein,” which excludes the idea of
measuring a physical structure. In the next verse, it mentions the
Gentiles, a separate company, which is given the court outside of the temple.
This is clear indication that “the temple” is solely relative to “them
that worship therein,” the physical lineage of Israel. The next clue is
that the Gentiles are in trespass. They are where they should not be, in the
holy city for 42 months. The Last Half of that timing for Messiah / the Temple
of the Lord, in his ministry to Israel, IS the specified “42 months.”
-
Rev 11:2
But the court which is without the temple leave out
and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall
they tread under foot forty and two months.
-
Messiah
Is the Ark of the Covenant, Most Holy,
Within the Greater Holy Place, the 70th Week of Daniel 9,
Set
Apart for Confirmation of The Covenant of the Law of Moses.
-
Prophetically the Temple is clear, if we apply all we have learned
as we come to Revelation 11, rather than trying to isolate it and interpret
privately. As Michael has instructed the author, as to what is NOT measured, it
states, “given unto the Gentiles.” The Times of the Gentiles of Seven
Times more judgment of Leviticus
26:18-39, running from spring, March
18, 537 BCE to spring, March
18, 1984, for 2520 years (7 times of 360 years each) IS indeed “the
court which is without (outside of) the temple.” Israel was legitimately,
by mandate of the Law of Moses, under a judgment of Gentile domination over the
Holy Land, Jerusalem, and the Holy Mount, in particular. We presented this
timing extensively in our Chapter
One, stated by Daniel in Dan
10:1, “the time appointed was long.” However, once passing that
March 18, 1984, deadline, the Gentile domination was in trespass. This was through
the earlier United Nations General Assembly, or UNGA Resolution 181, and its
league with the Zionist State, established in 1947/48. The Zionists took it a
step further, NOT approved by Revived Rome / UN. This led to the Zionist
takeover of the Holy Mount in 1967. Both moves, by virtue of staying there in
status quo, past spring 1984, were in trespass and illegitimate. It is stated
here in Revelation 11, “tread under foot (of the Gentiles and this league
with the Zionists) 42 months.” 42 months is a definite “measured” time.
-
The
Timing Structure of the Temple
-
Therefore, given to Messiah with Israel, according to Daniel
9:24-27, is the 70th Week, the Confirmation Covenant Week, upon
which the blessing of Daniel 9:24 was contingent. It was to bring redemption, to
be confirmed between God and ISRAEL, by Messiah, via the full 70th
Week fulfilled. 42 months or 3 and ˝ years or 1260 days in the First Half of
Daniel’s 70th Week, from fall 26 – spring 30 CE, eventually joined
to that is the same amount of time allotted to the Last Half of Daniel’s 70th
Week from spring 1984 – fall 1987.
-
The End to the Times of the Gentiles, Lev
26:18-42, Luke 21:24, Romans 11:7-27, being UNKNOWN at the time of John’s writing
the Book of Revelation, the court outside of this Time-Period of Messiah’s
ministry IS NOT MEASURED. It could not be done, since there was no known,
structured timing, whereby to so measure, UNTIL Messiah returned and revealed
that timing of 7 x 360 = 2520 years, spring 537 through spring 1984.
-
SIDE NOTE: A “time” is 360, easily seen in mathematical
comparison of the timing given in Revelation
12, where 1260 days is 42 months . . . which is 3 and 1 / 2 years.
All three of these timings are referring to one and the same timing called, “time,
times, and a half.” Therefore, 1260 = 360 + 2x360 + 1/2 x 360 rendering 360
+ 720 + 180 = 1260. Thus, a “time” is precisely 360.
-
This First Half, or 42 months, of the total Messiah-Temple-Ministry- Time-Period
of one week of years, or 7 years for the confirmation of the Covenant of God
with Israel, was WITHIN the Seven Times of the Gentiles, Lev
26:18-42 . That judgment on Israel from spring 537 BCE, brought domination
of Jerusalem and the Holy Mount by the Gentiles. At that time of Messiah, the
Roman Empire was in unrighteous league with the Zionist Sanhedrin, as seen in Daniel
11:31, John 11:45-53, John 19:15, in fall 26 – spring 30 CE,
during the Ministry of Jesus Christ, the Messiah.
-
The
other half WAS NOT within the Seven Times of the Gentiles. That Last Half of
the Messiah Ministry, of equally 42 months or 3 and ˝ years or 1260 days, is OUTSIDE
of the Seven Times of the Gentiles, for the years of spring 1984 – fall 1987.
Hence, it is stated to be “tread under foot 42 months,” or TRESPASSED UPON . .
. by the Gentile nations. This is due to obstruction to Messiah, barring
his reception within Israel, caused by the League of the Zionists with Revived
Rome / UN, during this critical time of Messiah’s presence to deliver Israel. MOST
IMPORTANTLY, IT WAS WHEN THE GENTILE DOMINATION WAS NO LONGER LEGITIMATELY
THERE, QUITE DIFFERENT FROM THE FIRST MINISTRY, WHEN IT WAS LEGITIMATE.
-
As we can equally perceive in Revelation
13:5, the same thing is stated again, via the Zionist State, the Beast
Out of the Earth, Rev
13:11-18, in dependence upon the Beast Out of the Sea, Revived Rome / UN, Rev
13:1-10, as “given power to continue 42 months.” This power or
authority GIVEN to Revived Rome / UN was via Israel, the Zionist State in
unbelief and disobedience to the Covenant of God, and its times and laws,
particularly Lev
26:18-42, Deut 17:14-20, Isa 9:6-7, Jer 23:2-8, and Daniel 9:24-27.
Israel was honoring that abomination they placed over them officially in 30 CE,
rejecting Messiah for Caesar and allegiance to Rome. They came back into the
land in 1948, again in their willful state in rejection of the Law and
Prophets, thinking to change those times and laws, Daniel
7:24-27, via their method of operation identified in Ezekiel
14:1-11. Therefore, the leadership in spring 1984 – fall 1987 did
not recognize Messiah, and the time of their visitation, even as they equally
did not in 30 CE.
-
Trespass
Violation
-
It is here where the Gentiles tread the holy city unlawfully in
trespass, or “underfoot,” PAST the specified judgment in Leviticus
26:18-39 of Seven Times from spring 537 BCE to spring 1984 CE. They
continued their domination into and through the Messiah Ministry of the end
time, of 3 and ˝ years / 42 months, in spring 1984 – fall 1987.
-
As an example, if one was to book a room at a
hotel or motel, the stay is justified until a certain hour around noon. One
must vacate the premises, in favor of the next tenant’s reservations and legal
occupancy. If one remains passed that deadline, they are in violation of their
contract with the hotel/motel. They may be ejected, or
charged for an additional night’s stay.
-
The ramifications of this trespass, in the Holy Land and Jerusalem, is that the
Gentile kingdom of Revived Rome / UN, with its Zionist party, intruded. They tried
to establish the Kingdom of God in the wrong manner, while in dependence on the
Gentile nations instead of Messiah. Both parties were in violation of the
Covenant of God, its times and laws, in rejection of Messiah, during the very
given time frame of Daniel
7:24-27; 9:24-27; 12:7, carried in Rev 11 – 13,
as well.
-
Jesus
and Paul Knew What but NOT When
-
Two very key portions of scripture need to be considered here:
-
Luke 21:20-28
20
And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the
desolation thereof is nigh.
21
Then let them which are in Judea flee to the mountains; and let them which are
in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter
thereinto.
22
For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be
fulfilled.
23
But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those
days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this
people.
24
And they shall fall by the edge of the sword and shall be led away captive into
all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, UNTIL the
times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
25
And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and
upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
26
Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which
are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
27
And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great
glory.
28
And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your
heads; for your redemption draws nigh.
-
Hindsight being 20 /20, we see this perfectly fulfilled AFTER THE
FACT, like so many things upon which we could only render an educated guess
ahead of time. Venturing into Daniel and Revelation, prior to the “Day of
the Lord” and the exact time for opening of these mysteries, is where the
confusion has resided. The time for full disclosure, being NOW upon us, we can
see these things clearly, dispelling both Preterist and Dispensationalist
speculations, prior to this clarity.
-
Notice the progression is orderly when given by Messiah, as
opposed to what was “here a little” and “there a little” to the prophets,
including Daniel. This is due to his authority, being Michael the Great Prince,
the only one to understand what was stated to Daniel concerning the scriptures
of truth, the Law and the Prophets, Dan
10:21, Isa 8:20:
-
1)
First, we have 70 CE and the attack and desolation of Jerusalem,
under Titus of Rome, which extends to 135 CE, in the Bar Kokhba rebellion, as
to the final, major dispersion in diaspora in verses 20-24a.
2)
Second, 24b, we have the very key verse, which relates to Paul’s
writings in Romans 11:25-27, we will later consider. Here, in Luke 21, it says:
“Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the
Gentiles, UNTIL the times of the
Gentiles be fulfilled.” In other words, WHEN that timing was completed,
full, and finished, deliverance would be there on the ground for Israel, and
specifically Jerusalem, which centers on the Holy Temple Mount. That Seven
Times of Lev 26:18-42, being unrevealed, many, ignoring the Law and
Prophets, greatly erred, particularly in Preterists ranks. The false assumption
was made, that the Times of the Gentiles finished in the Gentile siege on
Jerusalem, by Rome, 66 – 70 CE. As a result, they lost their bearings in
prophecy and eschatology entirely, once overemphasizing Luke 21 in this manner.
For full correction, using Matt 24 preeminently to avoid that error, prime in
Preterism, but also affecting many in Dispensationalism, see our Chapter
One. Joining that with the following linked document, brings the
needed clarity and correction (Two
Generations 30-70 CE and 1984 – 2024).
3)
Third, in verses 25-28, we have the plain comparison to Daniel
12:1-7. Michael
stands up for that promised deliverance. The metaphors, as given in Genesis
37:9-11 are clear here again, as the government, the leadership of
Israel, being changed, or effected in such a manner, that it brings great
tribulation to the nations. It shakes, by spiritual earthquake, those powers of
heaven, the understandings, and strongholds that all men have had in doctrine.
All the things proceeding from that understanding are shaken. This is
tribulation such as never was since there was a nation. It is a tribulation of
a different type, kind, or order, as we have earlier pointed out. It is unique,
and away from the usual physical suffering and catastrophe. The agreement that
men have had with “death,” or their “false understanding that they think
is true understanding and life,” as well as their agreement with “hell,” their
existence and confidence sustained by that false understanding, are both
destroyed. This is the prerequisite to the full Resurrection and Redemption, as
we have stated often, prior to this portion of scripture coming before us here,
as seen in progression from Isa
26-29.
-
The point we want to draw from this, in connection with our
portion before us in Revelation 11, is that the coming of Messiah to Israel begins
the ticking of the clock again. The LAST HALF of the 70th Week to
the nation of Israel resumes, in the simultaneous end of the Seven Times of the
Gentiles. This is clear from “UNTIL,” as the definitive word in
Luke 21:24. Jerusalem, Israel, all that they looked for in deliverance, comes
at that secret moment in time, known only to the Father, according to Mark
13:32 and Acts
1:6-7. It is revealed, first to the Son, according to John
8:28, and then to whom the Son will reveal those things, according to Matthew
11:27.
-
However, as we have already shown, it waits for Israel to come
under the pressure of the nations to give up the Holy Temple Mount, where upon verses
25-28 of Luke 21 will come to pass, and not before.
The 70th Week being completed and finished, as we presented already,
is the start, when Messiah left Israel on the 1335th day, Dan
12:12, of the 2300
days of Daniel 8:13-14, Dec 3, 1987, beginning “the
judgment shall sit,” Daniel
7:24-27. It ran about 33 years, to “the Last End of the Indignation,” the
remaining 965 days of the 2300 days. Introducing the final sequence of events to
bring her to repentance, this continues to the change of government. Under Messiah
and the Sovereignty of God, the cleansing and restoring of Israel’s true
sanctuary of strength, the faith of Abraham, is finalized.
-
Now, let us consider this same point, as carried by the Apostle
Paul in
-
Romans 11:25-27
25
For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye
should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to
Israel, UNTIL the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
26
And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of
Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
27
For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
-
Here we have the same three-part progression:
-
1) First, there is the blindness that was there since Leviticus
26:18-39 began, in spring 537 BCE. It was prevalent, the main reason for
Israel’s rejection of Messiah, in spring 30 CE. This compares to Luke 21:20-24a
that we gave above. Their blindness and
this judgment of Gentile domination was still on. It caused the rebellion
against Rome. It brought the desolation of Jerusalem, the treading down ongoing.
2) Comparing with Luke 21:24b, we have the “UNTIL,” entering
once again at the end of Romans 11:25. It is the definitive word, when that
timing was full or completed, and deliverance would be there on the ground for
Israel.
3) Israel would be delivered by accepting the Deliverer, upon
which their sins would be taken away in Romans 11:26-27. This is the full
bestowal of Daniel
9:24, contingent upon anointing the Most Holy, BY ISRAEL –
the bride and wife. He was ALREADY anointed by God, Mark 1:1-15, and declared
Son, for this purpose. It was further witnessed in his resurrection, and thus Messiah
remained to return to finish that purpose.
-
Again, our point as with Luke 21, it is simultaneously accomplished
with the return of Messiah. It instantaneously stops the Seven Times of the Gentiles
and starts the LAST HALF of the 70th Week. The emphasis in Luke 21
is the place, Jerusalem, which centers on the Holy Temple Mount. The emphasis
in Romans 11 is the people, Israel, that are delivered. Iniquity / ungodliness
is turned away, sin entirely removed. This fulfills the ritual of the
scapegoat feature of Leviticus 16:20-22, completed as called for by Paul, in
Hebrews 9:28. This
is yet to occur, in Messiah appearing the Second Time, to those that look for
Messiah, the nation of Israel, as we write these pages.
-
Second
Verse Like the First
Why
the Second Coming, as to Israel’s Condition,
Is
the Same as the First – Extended Blindness
-
Now we proceed to see, in that Second Coming, he is rejected
again, and we have a clear reason “why,” here in Revelation 11. The following
diagram shows, Messiah was there to confirm the Covenant of God with Israel
promised to Daniel, for the Last Half of that Covenant 70th Week, or
“42 months.” It was immediately after the Seven Times of the Gentiles
was completed, yet Israel, under its disobedient Zionist leadership, remained
in league with the Gentile power. This clarifies WHY Israel missed their
visitation of the Lord, in Messiah, the Temple of Malachi
3:1, during the Messiah-Time-Period
of God, the SECOND Time.

-
Again, the difference, as we will emphasize, is that in the Second
Coming, Israel is guilty of rejecting Messiah once more. However, in this
occurrence, it is WITHOUT the legitimate excuse of dispensational blindness, as
Romans 9-11 states, regarding the First Half of the Messiah Ministry in 26-30
CE. Therefore, they are in direct violation of the legal parameters of the
designated time of Messiah. They are illegitimate with regard to the Last Half
of that Messiah Ministry, spring 1984 – fall 1987.
-
The
Mark of the Beast Becomes Evident in This Trespass
-
As well, there is violation in the Gentile world, Christians
predominantly that expend tax dollars. They are joined by many pulpits
expressing falsely, “blessing comes from active and voluntary support to this
Zionist State.” They are guilty of aiding and abetting, in this
trespass and crime against the Covenant of God with Israel, under the Law of
Moses. Therefore, Christians cannot
argue that they are not under the Law of Moses, particularly in this instance.
They have indeed put their hand in active support, (evidence of the Mark in the
Hand, tax dollars from the work of their hands), subscribing to pulpit rhetoric,
believing in their mind it is accurate (evidence of Mark in the Forehead).
-
The
Simple Understanding of the Mark
-
The Mark in the Forehead, in its simplest form, is the mindset
that adheres to self-determination, freewill, and choice. It takes one out of
the presence of the Lord, yielding spiritual death. Mankind, operating by their
own design, or so they think, leaves God out of the picture. This is the
character of the most subtle beast of the field, man in a place of honor that
understands not, Psalms
49:20. The Mark in the Hand is then the works that are perceived within
that mindset, as being one’s own works. These two, Mark in the head and hand, are
counterparts to the First Two Great Commandments, and truth behind the First
Two Seals. There, the mindset is . . . that God is in us to will and do His
pleasure, confirming that the works are then His works. Here we have the Seal
of God in the Forehead and the works that follow.
-
In Revelation 13, we will find this is manifested fully in the end time in
Jerusalem. The spirit and mindset of self-destiny brings about the Evil
Kingdom, by belief (Mark in the Forehead) it is correct and positive. It is the
exact opposite, and brings the works of one’s hand (Mark
in the Hand), in contribution to that kingdom, by the tax dollars paid to
sustain it.
-
Here is the correlation between Rev 11, our chapter before us immediately, and
our later consideration of Rev 13. We also find in Rev 13, it is this
particular time, which is additionally accented in Rev 11, “42 months / Last
Half of Daniel’s 70th Week,” designated in prophecy. As revealed
in our Epilogue
to BABYLON IS FALLEN, earlier, (so we will not go on at length here), this is
one of the critical times, for this Mark, Man of Sin, Mystery of Iniquity to
reach one of two pinnacle points in significant men, as spearhead markers. The judgment
then ensues, or “sits,” according to Daniel
7:24-27, under one spearhead marker, and consummates as a result of the
other spearhead marker in Daniel
8:19-26. Messiah’s appearance destroys the whole system, Babylon the
Great,
II Thess 2, Rev 17-18, bringing the Everlasting Kingdom of God into manifestation.

Two Candlesticks – Two Olive Trees
Two
Witnesses – Two Ministries of Messiah
-
3
And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand
two hundred and threescore days (1260
days, 42 months, 3 and ˝ years),
clothed in sackcloth.
-
4
These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God
of the earth.
-
This Time-Period for the Messiah Ministry prophetically, which is
referenced here, is supported further by these last two verses just quoted from
Revelation 11. This clarity comes again from the Law and Prophets, determining
the place and identity of the two candlesticks just mentioned:
-
Exodus 25:8-9,37
8 And
let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them.
9 According
to all that I show thee, after the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern
of all the instruments thereof, even so shall ye make it.
.
. .
37
And thou shalt make the seven lamps thereof: and they shall light the lamps
thereof, that they may give light over against it.
Zechariah 4:1-14
1
And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me, as a man that is
wakened out of his sleep.
2
And said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have
looked, and behold a candlestick all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it,
and his seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which are upon
the top thereof:
3
And two olive trees by it, one upon the
right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof.
4
So I answered and spake to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are
these, my lord?
5
Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not
what these be? And I said, No, my lord.
6
Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the Lord unto
Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the
Lord of hosts.
7
Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain:
and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings,
crying, Grace, grace unto it.
8
Moreover the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
9
The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the
foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know
that the Lord of hosts hath sent me unto you.
10
For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice and shall
see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes
of the Lord, which run to and fro through the whole
earth.
11
Then answered I, and said unto him, What
are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the
left side thereof?
12
And I answered again, and said unto him, What be these two olive branches which
through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves?
13
And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my
lord.
14
Then said he, These are the two anointed
ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.
-
The
Heavenly or Spiritual
From
which the Earthly Was Patterned
-
Hebrew 9:1-3 and 24
1
Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly
sanctuary.
2
For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and the shewbread; which is called
the sanctuary.
3
And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all;
.
. .
24
For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven
itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:
-
The point we are making, in quoting these verses, is that when
comparing them closely, it is quite obvious that the two
candlesticks were part of the one larger candlestick. They were the two places
the oil was poured, so that the seven lamps could sustain their light.
This whole candlestick was in the Tabernacle and Temple of Israel literally, as
a physical, hard and fast, golden fixture. More importantly, as Paul bears out,
and therefore the emphasis and understanding of Revelation 11 by John, based
upon Exodus 25 and then Zechariah 4, there is the heavenly and spiritual. It is
the TRUE representation of the Oil of the Holy Spirit in Messiah.
-
The two olive trees that feed the seven lights are the “two
anointed ones” – the two Ministries of Messiah. The
Seven Spirits of the Lord are stated in Isaiah
11:1-3, Revelation 1:4; 3:1; 4:5; 5:6 , where the Olive Trees are on either
side, one prior to the Seven Churches of Revelation 2 and 3, and one after. The
Lord coming suddenly to the Temple of God, according to Malachi 3:1-2 quoted
above, was NOT an appearance at the literal temple in Jerusalem, but rather:
-
Galatians 4:4
…
when the fulness of the time was
come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,
-
He was sent forth in fall 26 CE through spring 30 CE. The Age of Grace
pictured in Zechariah 4, verse 7, for 1954 years of Gentile access to the
Covenant of Promise, transpired. It ended in Messiah sent forth again, in
spring 1984 through fall 1987. Exactly when the Times of the Gentiles of 2520
years, starting spring 537 BCE also ended in spring 1984, simultaneously, then
began the Second Ministry of 1984 through 1987. The foundation that was laid in
the First Ministry of 26-30 CE is finished in the Second Ministry of 1984-1987,
according to Zechariah 4:9 above quoted. No one needs to ask: “the
foundation of what and finish of what”? It is clear in that verse - it is “this
house” referring . . . NOT to the literal Temple that Zerubbabel was
literally building. Apostle Paul said in Hebrews
9:24, that was only a “figure of the true.” Rather, it is the
true Temple in heaven, displayed and seen in the Messiah, the spiritual Ark of
the Covenant, within the Temple-Time-Period of the 70th Week of Daniel
9:24-27. Both the laying of the foundation stone, the First Ministry, and
the capstone, the Second Ministry, are accomplished by Messiah.
-
To
the Main Point:
-
Messiah
Is the Lord in the Flesh, the Ark of the Covenant In Two Anointed Ministries.
-
One Messenger of the Covenant, Messiah,
Under
the Law Moses, Came Within the
Timing
Structure of the 70th Week of Daniel 9:24-27.
-
II
Thessalonians 2 Now Becomes Clear.
-
One of the key verses from Paul’s letters that is falsely
interpreted, and therefore abused, by those advancing shortsighted views and rampant
literalism with regard to Daniel’s 70 Weeks is
-
II Thessalonians 2:1-4
1
Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by
our gathering together unto him,
2
That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by
word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
3
Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed,
the son of perdition;
4
Who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is
worshipped; so that he as God sits in
the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.
-
We recall earlier in BABYLON IS FALLEN, how we produced two
of the main shortsighted and unauthorized interpretations of Daniel
9:24-27. One was Preterism, which insists that Israel no longer exists as
a national people in their special place with God. Some teach that the entire
70th Week was fulfilled by the stoning of Stephen in Acts 7. Other
Preterists hold it was completed by the 70 CE destruction of Jerusalem, and the
Second literal Temple under Titus of Rome. The other, Dispensationalism, which
we will here address again, states ERRONEOUSLY:
-
“NONE of the 70th Week was
fulfilled. The 69th Week ended with the crucifixion, leaving the
full 70th Week as “a” future covenant with an antichrist figure, as
a singular man. Therefore, this is a satanic covenant, where he would
reinstitute animal sacrifices, then stop them in breach of contract with the
Jews, in the midst of a SUPPOSED 7-year tribulation, also erroneously taught in
this doctrine, bringing on Great Tribulation.”
-
They support this erroneous interpretation by concluding, there
will be a rebuilt temple by the Jews and this antichrist. Now just where do
they get that assumption? Surely not from the Law and the Prophets, such as the
Book of Daniel, which has direct bearing on this letter of Paul to the
Thessalonians. The temple building addressed in the final chapters of Ezekiel
is of a spiritual nature. It is certainly done in truth, and not by any satanic
figure. No … it is quite the reverse, as to how they get their assumption. They
privately interpret from this statement by Paul, that a temple of a literal
nature will be built, precisely in order for animal sacrifices to be started. According
to their theory on Daniel 9:24-27, those animal sacrifices would be stopped to
cause great tribulation, as they teach. Again, we ask the same question: “How
can a structure, built by such a diabolical character, be the temple of God?”
It could not, plain, and simple.
-
The
Temple of God
-
The temple of God, to which Paul refers, is certainly not a literal building,
according to Act
17:24. It is, rather, right here in Revelation 11, supported by
Zechariah 4, quoted above. It is the Messiah and his Ministry, within the Time-Period
allotted for the confirmation of the Covenant of God with national Israel. It
is Daniel’s Covenant 70th Week, which moves to the events after that
timing. The entirety of the end is termed in Daniel 9 as “the consummation.” The
desolater is removed. Those desolated are blessed, respectively by Messiah. He
takes reins of government over Israel, as they THEN anoint the Most Holy to
that position.
-
Two
Candlesticks – Two Olive Trees Aspect Now Clear,
What
About Two Witnesses?
-
The two witnesses are the same thing as the two candlesticks,
according to verse 4 of Revelation 11. We need only go to the Mount of
Transfiguration, to focus our spiritual binoculars, for those previous
commentators who have been guessing at Rev 11 for centuries. They have
correctly brought Moses and Elijah forward, as PART of the understanding of the
“two witnesses.”
3
And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand
two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
4
These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God
of the earth.
5
And if any man will hurt them, fire proceeds out of their mouth, and devours
their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
6
These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their
prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the
earth with all plagues, as often as they will.
Within the Law and the Prophets, we find in Numbers
16, the comparison to the characteristics of Moses and fire
devouring the enemies. Added to that, we have the turning of water into blood
in the plagues brought by God, at the hand and rod of Moses and Aaron in Exodus
1-12. In James
5:17-18, I Kings 17 – 18, we find Elijah withholding rain,
and answered by fire from heaven. However, the educated guess that these two
witnesses are literally Moses and Elijah, returned to Jerusalem in the future,
does not line up with the Two Anointed Ones as Candlesticks, and Olive Trees,
in the two Ministries of Messiah. That assumption is well off the mark,
although correct as to identifying their ministries as a PART of the
fulfillment of Revelation
11:1-13.
-
Two
Prophetical Ministries in One Messiah
-
However, this can only be clarified for us spiritually, as it was
for Peter at the Mount of Transfiguration according to Matthew
17:1-8 and Mark 9:1-8. The Ministries and Personages of Moses and Elijah are eclipsed
by Christ. As we read there, the Voice of God told Peter, who wanted to honor
all three, to hear only Messiah. Therefore, the two witnesses are INDEED the
same as the two anointed ones, with the Ministry of Moses consummated in the
Prophet like unto him according to Deuteronomy
18:15-22, Jesus Christ. The Ministry of Elijah is consummated in John the Baptist,
forerunner of the Messiah, in the testimonies of Matthew through John. His
ministry was also within the same Temple-Time-Period, according to Malachi
4:4-6, Matthew 11:13-15.
-
Messiah
is SINGULARLY the two witnesses fulfilled. The two anointed ones are his two
Ministries of the First and Last Half of Daniel’s 70th Week. They
are the two MEASURED times that CAN BE defined. They are, therefore, WHEN the
Temple of God, Messiah, was present for Israel. Under the Law of Moses,
quantified by the Prophecy of Daniel’s 70 Weeks, this was in particular that 70th
Week, confirmed ONLY BY MESSIAH, present in Israel and Jerusalem with the
Jewish people.
-
What Is Literal, And . . . Not
Literal?!?!
-
Additionally, we again must point out, that although the fire was
quite literal with Moses and Elijah, as well as the plagues and the withholding
of rain, they are, in the case of Messiah, metaphorical, and to be interpreted
spiritually. While we consider the
proper understanding of these symbols, we will also readdress the metaphor of
the “sword” as well, used in Revelation
19.
-
Now we move to the fire that kills those that, themselves, have hurt
or misrepresented the Messiah Ministry. We will see it is much like the killing
with the sword. Those who have handled
the sword of the Word of God, as identified in Hebrew
4:12, without authority, bring a false interpretation. The First
Ministry of Messiah, represented in an unworthy manner, thus kills, or cuts off
from truth and life, those that listen and follow the false message. We explained
this behind the 4th
Seal in BABYLON IS FALLEN, chapter 10. They will,
themselves, be killed and cut off by the true interpretation wielded by Messiah
in the final analysis, when he completes his Second Ministry, Rev
19. They will have to lose their understanding, take their place as
dead and slain, in order to gain THE understanding of Messiah.
-
As
with the Sword, so is the Fire
-
The fire
is only another metaphor for the Word. It follows suit here, exactly like the
sword. In fact, it is the Law and Prophets, beginning in Genesis
3:24, that bring the two together. When Adam and Eve are ousted from
the Garden of Eden, it is the “flaming sword” in the hand of God’s messenger
that protects the tree of life. It blocks access, until that access is opened
in Revelation
22:2, at the finish of God’s Plan. The exception, in comparing the
sword with the fire, is that the fire additionally purifies and retains what is
true, according to Zechariah
13:8-9 and I Corinthians 3:11-15. The false apostles and
messengers exercise THEIR view of the Word, claiming their interpretation is
the fire of God, to purify. Their false understanding, given in the name of
Christ, that fire, will turn on them and consume their message. The greater
truth presented after the Messiah Ministry is finished, in full disclosure at
the end time, accomplishes this true burning. This is pictured with literal
fire in the account of Nadab and Abihu, who offered strange fire. The fire of
God, in judgment, consumed them, according to Leviticus
10:1-3.
-
Moving to the symbology of the water turning to blood: Truth, the “washing
of water by the Word,” according to Ephesians
5:26, as presented in Isaiah
55:1-2 and Revelation 22:17, is quoted and presumed to be offered
under false interpretation. It will be shown as unauthorized, bringing death
and not life. “Turned to blood” is death,
as the full truth, in complete exposure, removes that which is false, short,
and again – blood, or death.
-
Withholding
of Rain Applies
Primarily
to Israel Nationally
-
The withholding of rain, when analyzed from James
5:17-18, I Kings 17 – 18, will yield further insight,
which we will address as we consider each verse of Revelation 11, in
particular. Deuteronomy 11 and 32, quoted below, show that the literal rain is
the physical blessing for good crops and fruit in “due season,” contingent upon
obedience to God’s Word:
-
Deuteronomy 11:13-17
13
And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently unto my commandments
which I command you this day, to love the Lord your God, and to serve him with
all your heart and with all your soul,
14
That I will give you the rain of your land in his due season, the first rain
and the latter rain, that thou mayest gather in thy corn, and thy wine, and
thine oil.
15
And I will send grass in thy fields for thy cattle, that thou mayest eat and be
full.
16
Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside,
and serve other gods, and worship them;
17
And then the Lord's wrath be kindled against you, and he shut up the heaven,
that there be no rain, and that the land yield not her fruit; and lest ye
perish quickly from off the good land which the Lord gives you.
-
Later, as Moses speaks just before his death in final instruction,
he says:
-
Deuteronomy 32:1-2
1
Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my
mouth.
2
My doctrine shall drop as the rain,
my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and
as the showers upon the grass:
-
In the end time, once Messiah and truth are established in
Jerusalem, Zechariah 14 shows that the following is then in place:
-
Zechariah 14:16-17
16
And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which
came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King,
the Lord of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.
17
And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth
unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, even upon them shall be
no rain.
-
Any nation that will keep the Feast of Tabernacles, recognize the
last 3 and 1 / 2 years and its accompanying set of fall Holy Days of Leviticus
23, receives rain / blessing. This can only be upon recognizing the earlier
fulfillment of the previous Holy Days in Messiah’s Ministry. They are not
hidden at all, as the fall Holy Days’ fulfillment so were. However, any nation
that will not come to Jerusalem, as stated in Isaiah
2:1-4, to learn of the Lord and walk in His ways, as carried here in
Zechariah’s presentation, will not receive rain / blessing. Blessing is
received via insight into Messiah’s Ministry, truth rendered by Messiah’s
fulfillment of that two-part ministry, the First and Last Half of Daniel’s 70th
Confirmation Week.
We find in Joel 2, specifically, that the blessing of spiritual
nature, through Messiah, is promised within the times of the early and latter
rain:
Joel 2:13-28
15
Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly:
16
Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the
children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his
chamber, and the bride out of her closet.
17
Let the priests, the ministers of the Lord, weep between the porch and the
altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O Lord, and give not thine heritage
to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say
among the people, Where is their God?
18
Then will the Lord be jealous for his land, and pity his people.
19
Yea, the Lord will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I will send you
corn, and wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied therewith: and I will no
more make you a reproach among the heathen:
20
But I will remove far off from you the northern army, and
will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the east
sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost sea, and his stink shall come up,
and his ill savour shall come up, because he hath done great things.
21
Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the Lord will do great things.
22
Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field: for the pastures of the wilderness do
spring, for the tree bears her fruit, the fig tree and the vine do yield their
strength.
23
Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God: for he
hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the
latter rain in the first month.
24
And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with wine
and oil.
25
And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm,
and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great
army which I sent among you.
26
And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord
your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be
ashamed.
27
And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the Lord your
God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed.
28
And it shall come to pass afterward,
that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters
shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see
visions:
Now keeping this concept of blessing, flowing from the Messiah Ministry,
we perceive the partial, or “former rain.” The release of that blessing was at
Pentecost in 30 CE; hence, we can get our bearings. Rev 11 is regarding the Temple-Time-Period,
the Ministry of Messiah.
Rev 11:7-13
7
And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascends out
of the pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
8
And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which
spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
9
And they of the people and kindreds and
tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and a half and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be
put in graves.
10
And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and
shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that
dwelt on the earth.
11
And after three days and a half the
spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and
great fear fell upon them which saw them.
12
And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And
they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.
13
And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city
fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant
were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.
Only
One Ministry Is Public.
The
Other Is Secret or Private,
Until Seen by the Wise of Israel.
They
Communicate It to all Israel,
In
the Blowing of the 7th Trumpet.
-
Using verse 1 and 2 for our precedent in understanding the remainder
of Rev 11, we see there is a 42-month measured and defined period. It is “tread
under foot” of the Gentiles outside of, or on the other side of, the finished
unmeasured court. This court, which is “without” or outside of the measured
temple, IS given legitimately to the Gentiles, for the Seven Times, Leviticus
26:18-39. One of the main results of the overrun and trespass, was that it
intruded for those 42 months into the Temple-Time-Period NOT GIVEN TO THE
GENTILES. Therefore, the Second Ministry of Christ was secret, with no public
evidence manifested with understanding. Messiah would come, and no one would
publicly know that anything was transpiring concerning Daniel’s Last Half of the
70th Week. It was “tread under foot” of the Gentiles, in trespass
over and above spring 1984, when they should have ceased their occupation.
This is corroborated by various scriptures, stating the Second Coming would be
as a thief, undetected until after the fact, as stated in Amos
5:18-20, Amos 8:11, Zechariah 14:1-7, Matthew 24:37-39, Luke 17:26-27, I
Thessalonians 4:13-5:11, II Peter 3:10,
Revelation 3:3 and Revelation 16:15. As we will
now show from Revelation 11 before us in this consideration, only the First
Ministry is a living witness to the Remnant of Israel, as well as to those of
the Gentiles. The total ministry of Messiah, both the First Half and Last Half
of Daniel’s 70th Week, is dead and void of recognition by national
Israel, until the time they do indeed perceive it, thus sounding the 7th
Trumpet / Plague. Ancient Israel, under Joseph, saw his first vision, that they
rejected, come true. However, they only saw that, . . . WHEN he delivered them
from the famine. So, it is the same with the Two Messiah’s Ministries to Israel.
Both will be seen by Israel, ONLY at the time of their deliverance.
-
Things
Which Must Be Hereafter
-
Revelation 4:1
After
this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in
heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking
with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will show
thee things which must be hereafter.
-
Understanding Revelation 11, as well as other parts of Revelation
as a whole, manifests the shortsightedness of many. They relegate Revelation 4:1,
as being events of the Second Coming and those things thereafter. When John is
told “I will show thee things which must be hereafter,” this does NOT
mean they TRANSPIRED afterward. What it does mean is that . . . the
showing or revealing, for clear UNDERSTANDING of the Mysteries of God, comes
after the Second Coming, or in the Day of the Lord. Within the vision,
dimension, or spirit in which John was . . . is the position from which he
spoke, and wrote the Book of Revelation. The revelation of understanding of
truth of many things future from John’s writing, joined with things that
occurred before John, are revealed. Again, it is the “revealing for
understanding” that occurs, after John is caught up to heaven. The events
depicted are before, during, and after John’s time.
-
Revelation 11:3
3
And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand
two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
Each witness of Messiah was 1260 days, which is 42 months, which
also is 3 and ˝ years, stated additionally as “time, times and a half.”
Both witnesses, one in 26-30 CE and the other in 1984-1987, were rejected by
national Israel. This is depicted in the sackcloth garments the witnesses are
wearing. A condition of mourning, sadness, and loss is the demeanor of both
ministries, in that he came unto his own, and his own received him not.
-
For
One, There Is Good Reason for Rejection
For
the Other, There Is NOT! Hence the Blessing
Of
the Last Half, 3 and 1 / 2 years Is Shut up in Heaven.
-
The First Ministry was rejected due to spiritual blindness,
according to Leviticus
26:18-39, which was extended out of Lev
26:14-17, “the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes” as Paul
states in Roman
11:7; 25-27. It is by that blindness, as Paul presents in Romans 9-11, and by
the cross in Ephesians
2, that Israel rejected Messiah. According to the manifold wisdom
of God, from 30 CE to 1984, for 1954 years, the Gentiles were granted access to
the same Covenant of Promise to receive the Holy Spirit. That blessing of the
spring harvest was released to the remnant of both Jews and Gentiles, I
Cor 15:1-8, Acts 15:11-18, again NOT all nations at that
time. That FULL release is during the final or fall harvest now upon us. This
is shown in Zechariah
4, “grace,
grace unto it,” BETWEEN the two ministries of Messiah, establishing the Two-Time-Periods.
First there was the setting of the foundation stone, and then later, the headstone,
or capstone, finishing the building.
-
As we pointed out at great lengths, very few entered with Christ, as did Paul
and the other Apostles, so receiving the fullness of the Spirit. Most remained
short of that goal, Heb
4:1, awaiting Christ to return and finish his ministry. Thereby, sin
is removed, bringing full disclosure at that Second Coming, finally manifested.
However, they came into a knowledge of God that was greater than being lost
among the Gentiles of heathen origins. They came as far as the acceptance of
Messiah and his blood atonement, while they still were sinners awaiting full
understanding. The deliverance would come upon Christ appearing the Second Time,
according to Hebrews
9:28. This was the same future time pointed out by Paul in Romans
11:25-27, when God would take away the Sins of Israel.
-
Here in Rev 11, the condition of sackcloth on Messiah, or the two
witnesses, or Two Ministries of Messiah, remains for the Second Coming as well.
However, at this time, the legitimate blindness according to the mandate of Leviticus
26:18-39 was terminated, finished, and completed at the coming, on March
18, 1984. Israel was left without excuse, for not accepting the offer and
understanding given by Michael, in the author’s witness. Our arrival to
Jerusalem was accompanied by giving the message to the College of Rabbis, as we
revealed in our Chapter
10, on September 18/19, 1987.
-
The
reason for the rejection is clearly on their heads, making them in violation of
the Law of Moses. It was due to being in league with a foreign power, trusting
their own imagination and interpretation in the deception of Ezekiel
14:1-11.
Hence, the 42 months of this Ministry and its consequent fulfillment of the
fall Holy Days of Leviticus
23:23-44, and all Michael had to offer in Isaiah
40:1-2, ending their judgment, was at best “interesting” to them.
According to the message we received back from them, they found no place for the
message taking hold in their understanding for deliverance, at that time. This
is the reason it is not even mentioned, other than “tread under foot” in
Revelation 11. This is in direct comparison to Elijah withholding the
rain for 3 and 1 / 2 years, James
5:17-18, I Kings 17 – 18. Thus, when Messiah left Dec 3,
1987, Daniel
12:12, he stated there would be no blessing (rain) until
the abomination, the obstacle in the way of recognizing Messiah, was
removed. Therefore, the Last Half of the
70th Week, those 3 and 1 / 2 years, as to what was to come in his
final ministry, the blessing (rain) to Israel and then the world, Daniel
9:24, was withheld. The heavens were shut, and not allowed to bring
that spiritual latter rain (blessing).
-
The
First and Public Ministry to Which Israel Was Blinded,
Which
Opened Access to the Gentiles for the Age of Grace:
-
It is hard to determine just what any reader will feel, as we
reveal this portion in true exposure. This is particularly so, if one comes
from the erroneous school of thinking that Revelation 11:1-13 is future. The
author of these pages, before Michael’s instruction and keys given to
understand Revelation, was under that assumption. For the author, it was quite
exhilarating and uplifting, while at the same time embarrassing that it was so
muddled in the past and was not clearer earlier. However, it was not the time for clarity. NOW
IS THAT TIME!
-
Remember
the Major Key of Spring 1984 NOT Being Known???
-
We emphasize again, the End of the Times of the Gentiles, NOW
known as revealed by Messiah present, WAS NOT known to him until after December
3, 1987. Nor was it known to anyone, until then. This is absolutely the Key to
opening so many things about . . . not only prophecy, . . . but why Jesus and
the Apostles stated things the way they did. We say again, they, not knowing
the End of the Times of the Gentiles and the Second Coming, were left speaking
in their letters and admonitions, as if the coming was imminent, and could
happen in their physical lifetime.
-
Revelation 11:7-8
7
And when they shall have finished their
testimony, the beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit shall make war
against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
-
The
Beast Had Not Ascended at This Time.
-
It is important to keep straight in our minds that this verse did NOT
say: “That UPON ascending out of the bottomless pit, the beast killed them.” It
says, “the beast that ascends killed them.”
-
Why do we make a point out of this?
-
The reason is that the beast does not ascend until 1948/1967, to establish that
which he had established before in 63 BCE. The entry of Old Rome under Pompey
and then Herod the Great, created the league between the Zionists and Old Rome
that indeed “killed” the two witnesses, or killed Messiah in 30 CE. It is the same Gentile Beast and Zionist league,
in the same mindset of The Dragon. It is deceiving and present at both
Ministries of Messiah. It is locked away during the period between those Two
Ministries.
-
The beast was locked away in the bottomless pit, the undetermined Seven Times,
Lev 26:18-39, upon the 70 CE destruction of Jerusalem. The Zionist league and
Old Rome parted ways. They could no longer deceive the nations into thinking
what they portrayed to the world, in Jerusalem, was the Kingdom of God,
Promised in the Covenant of God with Israel.
-
In the end time, starting visibly in 1948, taking the Holy Mount
in 1967, the Gentile Beast of Revived Rome / UN in league with the Zionists, returns.
It ascends out of the bottomless pit to deceive again, at a future period, far
beyond John’s physical lifetime, and time of his writing Revelation 11. The
beast was in the bottomless pit effective 70 CE, as John wrote here in 100 CE
but would later “ascend.”
-
These things are part of the “here a little” and “there a little”
of Isaiah
28, as we have brought out earlier. They keep one confused and seal
the Book of Daniel (and certainly Revelation) from being understood, except
by one with authority to open those books. He is the only one found
worthy to open the Lamb’s Book of Life, the other little book, in Rev
10, which contains THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL. Knowing the key, spring 1984, and the Second
Coming Ministry as revealed by Michael the Great Prince, we can now properly
place this puzzle piece also.
-
Otherwise, as many have done, this expression about the “beast ascending” can
cause one to think this occurs during a future time, involving a literal
appearance of Moses and Elijah. This blocks them entirely from seeing that they
are indeed the Ministry of Messiah, and primarily during 26-30 CE.
-
We
say again the beast that ascends, killed them, or Messiah, in 30 CE. That beast
would then be shut in the bottomless pit, Lev 26:18-39, in 70 CE, and ONLY ascend
later in the end time, many years after John was gone. In 1948/1967, it would
ascend and deceive again, being loosed from the bottomless pit for that final
deception. Therefore, during the Second Ministry of Christ from 1984 to 1987, it
treads underfoot the holy city for 42 months. The beast of Revived Rome / UN is
ridden by the harlot of the Zionist State, in trespass, as we have stated
above.
-
8
And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which
spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
-
Putting
All Factors Together for Proper Interpretation
-
Here is the essence of Revelation 11:1-13: It is the Public
Ministry of Messiah from 26-30 CE. However, as we see in verse 7 the Beast
(Rome acting at the behest of the Chief Priest’s and Scribes, as stated in John
19:15), at the completion of that public ministry, kills Messiah. This occurred
on Preparation Day of Passover, Nisan 14, April 3, 30 CE, the finish of
Messiah’s First Ministry TO NATIONAL ISRAEL.
-
THIS IS THE MAIN AND KEY POINT IN THIS SCRIPTURE. NATIONAL ISRAEL NEVER SAW HIM
AGAIN, until the end time in our day. 3
and ˝ days (day for a year or 3 and ˝ years) of Messiah’s ministry, his First
and Public Coming to Israel, was seen only by a remnant of Israel. Clearly, this
was the spring harvest and blessing poured out at Pentecost. From there, it has
lain dead in the streets of Jerusalem, the city that is spiritually Sodom and
Egypt, as far as the greater nation of Israel. All that Moses pointed to in his
day, and all that Elijah represented in Elijah proper and John the Baptist, laid
dead, not understood, nor appreciated by national Israel.
-
Therefore, we additionally discover here in Revelation 11, the
Messiah Ministry withholds the blessing, “the rain.” The heaven is shut
to national Israel, during the Last Half of Daniel’s 70th Week. The
3 and ˝ years of that period yields no blessing (rain), due to their rejection
of Messiah the second time. It is hence, the first ministry is dead to Israel,
but received by the nations, who would not let it pass and be buried, but have
declared “he lives.” They have held the fact of that first ministry
alive, during the blindness legitimately upon Israel, for the ongoing, “Seven
Times more” judgment of Leviticus
26:18-39. As we covered in Leviticus 23:22, the gleanings and corners of
the field for the poor and stranger is seen in the opened door to the Gentiles,
according to Paul’s Gospel of Grace, as stated in Roman 9-11 and Ephesians 2.
It is thus, we have our next verse:
-
9
And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their
dead bodies three days and a half and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be
put in graves.
-
He
Lives
-
The nation of Israel rejected him. To them, he was dead and gone,
whereby they eliminated the threat to their relationship with Rome, as
indicated in John
11:45-53 and John 19:15. They believed they had done God a
service. They killed a false prophet that was leading them in trespass of the
Law of Moses. They interpreted this through their hierarchy of the Scribes and
Pharisees, leaders over the people, the Priests, and the Sanhedrin.
-
However, some of Israel, and predominantly the Gentiles, “they of the nations,” through
the Apostle Paul’s Ministry, according to Leviticus
23:22, Romans 9-11 and Ephesian 2, would not allow what had transpired
to be buried as dead. Rather, they kept the Ministry of the First Half of
Daniel’s 70th Week alive. The 3 and ˝ Days in this verse is 3 and ˝
Years, with a year for a day, as we stressed from Numbers
14:34.
This ministry is kept alive by the nations in acceptance of Jesus as Messiah;
thus, it remains in the streets of Jerusalem and not buried.
-
It is a witness against national Israel all through the Age of Grace. It is
greatly removed from the original strength, truth, and understanding versus when
the Apostles were physically alive, giving a proper witness. Nevertheless, it
remained as an ongoing testimony of Jesus, the Messiah, and his rejection by
Israel.
-
10
And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and
shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that
dwelt on the earth.
-
11
And after three days and a half the spirit of life from God entered into them,
and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.
-
12
And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And
they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.
-
13
And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city
fell, and in the earthquake, were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant
were affrighted and gave glory to the God of heaven.
-
Without venturing back into Daniel
11:30-35 verse by verse again, we can only refer the reader back to that
presentation. It also shows the same things portrayed here, when compared with
the record of Matthew through Acts in the New Testament. We see, in Luke
23:12,
the gifts being sent in Revelation 11:10 above, were friendship extended both
ways between Pilate and Herod. They overcame their previous estrangement by
agreeing together. They performed this deed for the Chief Priests and Scribes,
who prevailed upon the people to crucify Messiah. In Daniel
11:27, we saw the expression that both parties “spoke lies at one
table.” This is the broader scope of “giving gifts to one another.” The
Zionists gave allegiance to Rome, rather than Messiah and their Covenant with
God. Rome capitulated in doing their bidding, destroying the threat to their
Zionist leadership, that Jesus posed.
-
In verses 11 – 13, we have the end of both witnesses, AFTER
THE FINAL THREE-AND-ONE-HALF-DAYS / YEARS. This is after “the time,
times and the dividing of time,” Dan
7:24-27. It was then “the judgment shall sit.” It comes full swing
to the “Last End of the Indignation,” Daniel
8:19-26. This produces the grand finale, the end, resulting in Israel (“the
enemies that beheld them”) seeing both ministries; thus, they receive the
deliverance in Messiah.
-
Again, the shadow or type for this is with Joseph, revealed to his brethren,
causing fear. That soon turned to rejoicing, joining them with Jacob and
Benjamin. All Israel is saved by Joseph’s reign during the famine. It is the
same today, as all Israel is saved, first alarmed that Jesus was indeed the
Messiah they rejected. They then behold both ministries, seeing the whole of
the 70th Week. One half is in Jesus, and the other in Michael,
converting the nation of Israel under proper government of the Sovereignty of
God. This is the answer to the semiotics in Rev 11, after 3 and 1 / 2 days, (3
and 1 / 2 years of the final ministry) life comes into the two witnessed, and
they ascend to heaven. This is the opening of their seat of understanding, in
the spiritual perception of the Jews that rejected him. They then sit in
heavenly places, having the Holy Spirit, understanding all mysteries.
-
It is at this time Ezekiel
21:24-27 is completed. Israel voluntarily removes the crown and yields to “he
whose right it is.” It is here Daniel
12:1-7, Revelation 16:15-21, coordinated with Rev 11:13,
transpires. The remnant at this time are the wise of Daniel
12:3, that turn many to righteousness. It is at this time of great
tribulation, the great and mighty earthquake. Both are metaphors for the same
event, one such as never was or ever will be again. Therefore, this moves to
the 7th Trumpet / Plague immediately sounding around this event of
the conversion of the Nation of Israel, Rev
11:15-19. All the world is brought under the rule of Messiah, and God our
Father, the Everlasting Kingdom that shall not pass away, as stated in Daniel
2:44-45, Daniel 7:24-27, Isa 27:13, I Cor 15:22-28, Rev 11:15-19.
-
The 7000 is also comparable to Elijah’s day. Those that would not bow to Baal
in I
Kings 19:18, are seen at this time as those Sealed of God, as in Ezek
9 and Rev 7, before the judgment falls. These are the wise ones that lead
many to what is right (righteousness). They would not bow to the Zionist league
with Revived Rome / UN in our day, just as they did not in the days of the
Zionist league with Old Rome, that stood against Messiah in his First Ministry.
-
Again,
the Immediate Jump to the Second Coming:
-
Notice now, just like Rev 7, Rev 11 immediately goes to the final
end. It is the Great Tribulation in Rev
7, where many come out to the truth, washing their robes white. In Revelation
11, it goes immediately to the 7th Trumpet sounding. This is one and
the selfsame thing. Here we place the end in view, designated within the Ministry of Paul
and others. It becomes clear as to why they always pointed to the end time, as
the next immediate thing that could even occur in their physical lifespan.
-
Once more, we say, it is DUE TO THEM NOT KNOWING THE END OF THE TIMES OF THE
GENTILES. This would terminate immediately upon the day and hour of the
Second Coming of Christ to Israel, moving, eventually, to the full public
appearing, according to Romans
11:25-27. Their sins are no longer existent in the FULL atonement
effectuated, contingent upon the fulfillment of the Last Half of the 70th
Week of Daniel and the Confirmation of the Covenant. It is only upon the full
confirmation and completion of that 70th Week, and all that is
released and proceeds from that. Thereby, the blessing, resurrection to full
truth, and the full redemption, occurs as stated in Daniel
9:24. Now
knowing the end of the Times of the Gentiles, we find it was 1954 years from 30
CE, the death, burial, and resurrection of Messiah, and the giving of the Holy
Spirit to the remnant on Pentecost. The fact of his return and timing being
unknown, John here shows it immediately after Messiah’s First Ministry in 30 CE.
All the New Testament follows that same stance, presenting Christ’s return as
imminent.
-
14
The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe
comes quickly.
-
Establishing
the Time for the 7th Trumpet
-
As we presented, the second woe was the 6th Trumpet /
Plague, the November 29, 2012, UNGA Res 67 / 19, placing of the Holy Mount in
the international State of Palestine legislatively, in preparation. This was
awaiting full completion of that sounding and outpouring in executive action of
a more drastic nature. Implementation to fully slay the “third of men,” is within
a UNSC coming Resolution, Rev
9:13-21; 16:12-16. We await the removal of
the Zionist State within their demise and tribulation, Zechariah
14:1-2, consummating in changing the government to accept Messiah, Zechariah
14:3-21. From there, we will see the joining with the sons of Ishmael,
the Arabs, to form One State, not Two, as Isaac with Ishmael. This will be the
same with Judah and Ephraim, under the Messiah, accomplished in the Kingdom of God,
manifested out of Jerusalem in truth and peace from the Holy Mount, Ezekiel
21:24-27, Ezekiel 37:15-28, Rev 17:12-14.
-
While we await that practical, and on the ground affectation, we already have Revelation
10. There the message is declared of THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL in the “little book.” It is accompanied
by the Mysteries of God being made known, or a revelation of the Law and the
Prophets in detail around the Two Ministries of Messiah, BABYLON
IS FALLEN. This is paralleled in Revelation 20, as the exact same thing: The
books of the Law and the Prophets are opened and another book opened, The
Lamb’s Book of Life. This is the time for that full disclosure and revelation.
-
15
And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying,
The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his
Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
-
16
And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon
their faces, and worshipped God,
-
17
Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy
great power, and hast reigned.
-
18
And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead,
that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy
servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small
and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
19 And the temple of God was
opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament:
and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and
great hail.
-
In the opening of the 7 Seals and THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL, we see that everything we
thought in our First Birth as carnal men, is not ours or us at all. As
Nebuchadnezzar of old stated, “Is this not Great Babylon that I have built?” However,
that illusion passes away to perceive it is not our works, our possessions, or
accomplishments. Nor has anything been “anything,” but God Himself expressed.
-
That is the chief change when the 7th Trumpet / Plague
sounds. The kingdoms and what transpired, that we have considered to belong to
the world of men and existence as we have, past tense, perceived same, become
what they are; it is all of God and always has been. However, we don’t register
that until we hear the truth; the trumpet sounds to us individually.
It takes hold, transforming us in our Second, or New Birth, to become Sons of
God. At that point, all becomes the Kingdom of God, in recognition of His Eternal
Sovereignty.
-
The
Apparent Positive and Negative
-
As we have stated earlier, this is the reward of a positive nature,
7th Trumpet, to those, such as Abraham, who believed and had the knowledge
of the Sovereignty of God in all things. His faith is verified and perpetuated
further. To those who “are angry,” those that “destroy the earth” by their
belief in self-determination, freewill, and choice, it is the 7th
Plague. Their faith is destroyed and must be replaced by being cast into the
Lake of Fire, the fire of God and His Word as in Zechariah
13:8-9 and I Corinthians 3:10-15 to find their name, by
understanding, in the Book of Life.
-
Here they will lose their shortsighted and immature beliefs and come
to understanding. Those who already understand will then lead them into real
righteousness. This is to recognize God as all and in all, as in Daniel
12:3. Those leading to that real righteousness are manifested first,
Michael the Great Prince. Then, via his prior instruction, so that this
publication can be available for said “leading to righteousness,” we have this author,
and those assisting in the production of these pages. Thereby, others shall
also be born again, and joined to us. All the world shall know the Lord from
the least to the greatest, Jeremiah
31:34.
-
In
Summation of Revelation 11
-
The temple in heaven, the understanding of the two Ministries of
Messiah, the Covenant 70th Week, or the Temple-Time-Period, is opened.
We see the Ark of the Covenant or Messiah, Michael the Great Prince. It was
from between the two cherubim, located on the mercy seat on top of the Ark of
the Covenant, physically present in ancient Israel, that Moses, and therefore
Israel, received communication from God as we see stated in
-
Exodus 25:16-22
16 And
thou shalt put into the ark the testimony which I shall give thee.
17 And
thou shalt make a mercy seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half shall be the
length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof.
18 And
thou shalt make two cherubim of gold, of beaten work
shalt thou make them, in the two ends of the mercy seat.
19 And
make one cherub on the one end, and the other cherub on the other end: even of
the mercy seat shall ye make the cherubim on the two ends thereof.
20 And
the cherubim shall stretch forth their wings on high, covering the mercy seat
with their wings, and their faces shall look one to another; toward the mercy
seat shall the faces of the cherubim be.
21 And
thou shalt put the mercy seat above upon the ark; and in the ark thou shalt put
the testimony that I shall give thee.
22 And
there I will meet with thee, and I will
commune with thee from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim
which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give
thee in commandment unto the children of Israel.
-
The two cherubim, indicative of the two witnesses, two anointed
ones, the two Ministries of Messiah, are seen, and the Temple in Heaven is
opened. This is the understanding coming from God via Messiah, from the
completed 70th Week’s First Half and Second Half, now brought out
publicly in the sounding of the 7th Trumpet. It is in hearing or understanding
Messiah’s word / Voice, John
5:24-29, as articulated in THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL, that we, individually, come into
the value of the Trumpet Sounding. It is through this larger publication BABYLON
IS FALLEN,
that we, individually, understand how and in what way previous
understandings are short of full truth, yet have been necessary components, now
discarded. Those parts go back in the ground, as fertilizer, even as a plant sheds
those parts that have brought forth the fruit when the harvest arrives.
-
Revelation 11:19
And
the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the
ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings,
and an earthquake, and great hail.
-
As a result, there are “lightnings” / enlightenment; the voices of
the Prophets become clear; the Seven Thunders are heard in Michael, as he opens
the Seven Seals; there is an earthquake of spiritual revelation, shaking down
all that is false, and removing it; and finally, the hail of full truth
destroys the refuge of lies, leaving only the truth, according to Ezekiel
13 and Revelation 16:17-21 .
-
Messiah,
the Measure of U.I.C.O.M.
-
At this point, we wish to bring out a third factor needed, that
will be necessary to establish Universal Inherent Collective Objective
Morality. It will be that the Ark of Testament, Messiah, seen publicly
manifested, that will set the example. With all the deviation in the atmosphere
of self-determination, freewill, and choice, the third factor that will be
temporarily needed is a moral measure.
-
We have extremes in conservatism, such as the devoted of Orthodox
Judaism, remotes sects of Christianity, and certainly Islam. All three have the
other end of the equation as well, with the majority steered by liberalism. We
have people covered from head to toe, particularly with women, all the way to
nude beaches on the other end of the spectrum. Alcohol is forbidden in many
circles, and there is too much alcohol leading to abuse in others. No
contraception, all the way to terminating pregnancies in abortion, along with a
plethora of other issues, such as homosexuality, etc.
-
UICOM is certainly hard to decipher at this point. Rigidity and
looseness must have an example set in moderation, once again. It is here we
have the third element, added to the First Two Great Commandments. It is in
Messiah, his dress, manner of life, conduct toward his wife, as well as her
deportment and dress, and their conduct toward others.
-
In other words, not establishing a Law, but living by example,
subject to common sense and a standard of moderation in an established leader
with authority from God, will establish UICOM for perpetual norms in all of society.
Here is a very practical reason, in the final establishment of the Kingdom of
God by Messiah out of Jerusalem. All nations must come up to Jerusalem to learn
of the Lord and WALK IN HIS WAYS, as stated by Isaiah
2:1-4, “he will teach us of his
ways, and we will walk in his paths.” Once all knowledge and understanding,
concealed as Mysteries in the Bible, are disclosed and the resurrection occurs,
Messiah will be the standard in these things, which will translate into Universal
Inherent Collective Objective Morality from henceforth. Within the First Two Great
Commandments, with an example in Messiah, the Ark of the Testament seen
publicly, we have the final threefold cord that will sustain the New Heaven and
Earth, wherein dwells righteousness. Amen.
