THE BOOK OF REVELATION (1)

 

Man calls it "The Revelation of St. John the Divine". But the God-given title is in the first verse, "The Revelation of Jesus Christ", that is, the Unveiling, Revealing, and Presentation to earth and heaven of the Lord Jesus Christ as "KING of Kings and LORD of lords".

It was written in 96 A.D. , and the writer is John "the beloved disciple" while he was in exile on the island of Patmos, Greece.

Revelation 1:1  THE Revelation (APOKALUPSIS IN THE GREEK) of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto Him, to shew unto His servants things which must shortly come to pass ; and He sent and signified it by His angel unto His servant John,

1:2   Who bare record (SAW, HEARD, UNDERSTOOD) of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw (WITNESSED).

1:3  Blessed is HE THAT READETH, AND THEY THAT HEAR THE WORDS OF THIS PROPHECY, and keep those things which are written therein : for the time is at hand.

PROPHECY IS USED SEVEN TIMES IN THIS BOOK ; NUMBER # 7 MEANS SPIRITUAL COMPLITMENT IN BIBLICAL NUMERICS.

THIS BOOK REVEALS ALL THE EVENTS JUST BEFORE AND AFTER CHRIST RETURNS.

GOD WANTS US TO READ AND UNDERSTAND IT.

1:4  JOHN to the seven churches which are in Asia : Grace be unto you, and peace, from Him Which is, and Which was, and Which is to come ; and from the seven Spirits which are before His throne ;

THOSE CHURCHES WERE IN A CIRCLE. HOWEVER, THEY ARE ONLY A TYPE; CHRIST USES THESE CHURCHES TO DESCRIBE THE CHURCHES OF TODAY.

1:5  And from Jesus Christ, Who is the faithful Witness, and the First Begotten of the dead (ONE WHO CONCORED DEATH), and the Prince (RULER) of the kings of the earth. Unto Him That loved us, and washed us from our sins in His own blood,

1:6  And hath made us kings and priests unto God and His Father ; to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever.

THIS HAS NOT HAPPENED YET.

HIS ELECT WILL BE PRIESTS IN THE MILLENNIUM (CHRIST'S THOUSAND YEAR REIGN).

MAKE A NOTE OF REV. 5:10.

1:7  Behold, He cometh with clouds ; and every eye shall see Him, and they also which pierced Him : and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of Him. Even so, Amen.

HE COMETH WITH CLOUDS = A FIGURE OF SPEECH. EVERYONE (ALL RACES), EVEN THE ONES THAT NAILED HIM TO THE CROSS, WILL SEE HIM COMING IN THE CLOUDS (NO RAPTURE, EVERYONE WILL SEE HIM).

THIS IS THE SECOND ADVENT, THE SEVENTH TRUMP.

1:8  "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending," saith the LORD, "Which is, and Which was, and Which is to come, THE ALMIGHTY.

JESUS IS GOD IN THE FLESH.

ALPHA = # 1.

OMEGA = # 8, OR 800 (ACCORDING HOW IT IS UTILIZED IN BIBLICAL NUMERICS = A NEW BEGINNING).

1:9  I John, who also am your brother, and companion (PARTAKER) in tribulation, and the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.

JOHN WAS EXILED IN THE ISLAND OF PATMOS.

1:10  I was in the Spirit on THE LORD'S DAY, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,

THE LORD'S DAY IS THE LAST DAY OF THIS DISPENSATION (THE 7TH TRUMP).

FOLLOWING THE LORD'S DAY IS THE MILLENNIUM (CHRIST'S THOUSAND YEAR REIGN, AFTER SATAN'S TRIBULATION).

MAKE A NOTE OF I THESS. 5:2.

1:11  Saying, "I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last : and what thou seest, write in a book (THIS BOOK), and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia ; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea."

AND AGAIN, THESE WERE ONLY TYPES.

HE WANTS THE PROPHECY OF THIS BOOK TO BE TAUGHT IN ALL THE CHURCHES OF TODAY (WE ARE CLOSER TO THE LORD'S DAY THAN THEY WERE).

1:12  And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks (THE SEVEN CHURCHES).

1:13   And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of Man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps (BREASTS) with a golden girdle.

1:14  His head and His hairs were white like wool, as white as snow ; and His eyes were as a flame of fire ;

1:15  And His feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace ; and His voice as the sound of many waters (ALL PEOPLE ; REV. 17:15).

SYMBOLIC OF THE PRESENCE OF GOD'S GLORY (REV. 4).

1:16  And He had in His right hand seven stars : and out of His mouth went a sharp twoedged sword : and His countenance (OPSIS IN THE GREEK = LOOKED LIKE) was as the sun shineth in his strength.

TWOEDGED SWORD = HIS MOUTH (HIS TRUTH) CUTS BOTH WAYS.

1:17   And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. And He laid His right hand upon me, saying unto me, "Fear not ; I am the First and the Last :

1:18  I am He That liveth, and was dead ; and behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen ; and have the keys of hell (THE GREEK TEXTS SAY, "DEATH AND OF HELL" = GRAVE IN THE GREEK, HADES) and of death.

I HAVE THE KEYS OF HELL AND DEATH = I AM THE ONE IN CONTROL (HE OPENS ALL LOCKS).

1:19  Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter ;

THE THINGS THAT BUILD UP TO THE COMING OF OUR LORD, AND THE THINGS THAT WILL COME AFTERWARDS.

1:20  The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in My right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. THE SEVEN STARS ARE THE ANGELS OF THE SEVEN CHURCHES : AND THE SEVEN CANDLESTICKS WHICH THOU SAWEST ARE THE SEVEN CHURCHES.

DON'T MISS OUR NEXT IN DEPTH STUDY OF THIS BOOK.

GOD BLESS

YOU HAVE NOTHING IF YOU DON'T HAVE LOVE...

                 YOU CAN HAVE GIFTS BUT WITHOUT LOVE YOU HAVE NOTHING.

I Corinthians 13:1  Though I speak with the tongues of men (PAUL WAS BILINGUAL) and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

NOTHING WOULD WORK IF YOU DON'T HAVE LOVE IN YOUR HEART.

13:2   And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge ; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains (NATIONS), and have no charity, I am nothing.

PAUL WAS A HEBREW SCHOLAR, VERY EDUCATED IN THE WORD, BUT IT WAS HIS LOVE FOR THE PEOPLE THAT MADE HIM SUCH A GREAT TEACHER.

YOU WANT TO MAKE A STAND FOR CHRIST ; LOVE CAN DO THAT EVEN IF IT'S TOUGH LOVE.

IN OTHER WORDS, YOU LOVE SOMEONE ENOUGH TO CORRECT HIM WHEN HE OR SHE TAKES THE WRONG PATH.

13:3  And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned (CREMATED), and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.

IT'S NOT GOOD WITHOUT LOVE.

13:4  Charity suffereth long, and is kind ; charity envieth not (PRETENDS TO BE SOMETHING IT'S NOT) charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up (PRIDE),

13:5  Doth not behave itself unseemly (IT'S NOT RUDE), seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil ;

13:6  Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth ;

IT REJOICES IN TRUTH AND IN JUSTICE.

BASED ON THE FOUNDATION WHICH IS CHRIST (CHRIST IS LOVE).

13:7  Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

THE TRUTH IS IN GOD'S WORD. WHEN YOU ABSORBED IT, IT GROWS OUT OF YOU.

YOU CAN HANDLE IT...NO PROVOCATION.

13:8  Charity never faileth (IT'S ALWAYS THERE) : but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail ; whether there be tongues (THE LANGUAGE YOU ARE BORN WITH), they shall cease ; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.

WHEN CHRIST RETURNS WE ARE ALL GOING TO SPEAK THE SAME LANGUAGE.

EVERYTHING WE KNOW TODAY IT WILL DONE AWAY.

GOD BLESS

THE APOCRYPHA

THE APOCRYPHA formed an integral part of the King James 1611 version, as they had of all the preceding English versions from their beginning in 1382. But they are seldom printed as part of it any longer, still more seldom as part as the English Revised Version, and were not included in the American Revision.

This is partly because the Puritans disapproved of them ; they had already begun to drop them from printings of their Geneva Bible by 1600, and began to demand copies of the King James Version omitting them, as early as 1629.

And it is partly because we discredit them because they did not form part of the Hebrew Bible and most of them have never be found in any Hebrew forms at all.

But they were part of the Bible of the early church, for it is used the Greek version of the Hebrew Bible, we call the Septuagint, and these books were all in that version.

They passed from it into Latin and the great Latin Bible edited by St. Jerome about 400 A.D., the Vulgate, which became the Authorized Bible of western Europe and England and remained so for thousand years. But Jerome found that they were not in the Hebrew Bible, and so he called them the Apocrypha, the hidden or secret books.

EDGAR J. GOODSPEED, BIBLICAL SCOLAR AND TRANSLATOR.

II ESDRAS 5:23-40

"Sovereign Lord, from all the forests on the earth and from all its tress you choose one vine, and from all the lands in the world you chose for yourself one garden, and from all the flowers in the world you chose for yourself one lily, and from all the depths of the sea you filled yourself one river, and all the cities that have been built you consecrated Zion to yourself, and of all the birds that have been created you named for yourself one dove, and of all the cattle that have been formed you provided for yourself one sheep, and of all the peoples that have multiplied you got yourself one people, and you gave to this people that you desired a law that was approved by all. And now, Lord, why have you given this one up to the many, and after preparing one root above the others have you scattered your only one among the many ? And those who opposed your promises have trampled on those who believed your agreements. For if you really hate your people it ought to be punished with your own hands."

And it came to pass when I had uttered these words that the angel who had come to me on a previous night was sent to me. And he said to me,

"Listen to me, and I will instruct you ; attend to me, and I will tell you more."

And I said, "Speak my lord."

And he said to me,

"Are you so very much distracted over Israel, or do you love him more that his Maker does ?"

And I said,

"No sir, but I spoke from grief, for my heart pains me every hour, while I strive to understand the way of the Most High, and to inquire into what his decree apportions."

And he said to me, "You cannot."

And I said,

"Why, sir, then why I was born ? And why did not my mother's womb become my grave, so that I might not see the trouble of Jacob, and the exhaustion of the posterity of Israel ?"

And he said to me,

"Count up for me those that have not yet come, and gather the scattered raindrops for me, and make the withered flowers green again for me, and open the closed chambers for me, and bring out for me the winds shut up in them, or show me the picture of a voice, and then I will show you the mark you ask to see."

And I said,

"Sovereign Lord, who is there who can know these things except he whose dwelling is not with men ?  But I am foolish, and how can I speak of these things about which you have asked me ?"

And he said to me,

"Just as you cannot do one of these things that were mentioned, so you cannot find out my judgment, or the end of the love that I have promised my people."

GOD BLESS

GOOD BESTOWED...LAND AND PEOPLE (FUTURE)

 

Joel 2:21  Fear not, O land ; be glad and rejoice : for the LORD will do great things.

THIS IS ALL FUTURE.

2:22   Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field : for the pastures of the wilderness do spring, for the tree beareth her fruit, the fig tree and the vine do yield their strength.

HE WILL RESTORE JERUSALEM IN THE FUTURE.

2:23   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.

FORMER RAIN = EARLY RAIN TO SPROUT THE TRUTH.

IN THE FIRST MONTH = (AS AT) FIRST, OR (AS) AFORETIME. THE TWO RAINS DO NOT COME IN ONE AND THE SAME MONTH. THE ANTICHRIST (SATAN) WILL BE HERE FOR FIVE MONTHS (REV. 9:10-11).

2:24   And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the fats shall overflow with wine and oil.

2:25   And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cancer worm, and the caterpillar, and the palmer worm, My great army which I sent among you.

HE WILL BLESS OF WHAT THE LOCUST (SYMBOLIC OF SATAN'S PEOPLE) HAS EATEN.

HE IS DESCRIBING THE FOUR STAGES OF THE LOCUST.

2:26   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.

YOU ARE NOT ASHAMED WHEN YOU MAKE A STAND.

2:27   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.

WE WILL HAVE THE VICTORY OVER THE LOCUST (SATAN'S ARMY).

2:28  And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour 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 :

MEN AND WOMEN WILL TEACH.

2:29   And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out My spirit.

IT'S GOING TO BE LIKE IT WAS ON PENTECOST DAY. GOD SPOKE THROUGH THE DISCIPLES AND EVERYONE HEARD GOD'S MESSAGE, IN THEIR OWN LANGUAGE AND DIALECT.  THIS IS THE EVIDENCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.

WHEN THIS WILL HAPPEN ? WHEN SATAN IS HERE ON EARTH PLAYING THE ROLE OF CHRIST. IF YOU ARE ONE OF GOD'S ELECT, YOU WILL DELIVERED UP TO SATAN'S "COURT" AND GOD WILL SPEAK THROUGH YOU. HE WILL LET THE WORLD KNOW ABOUT SATAN AND HIS LIES.

MAKE A NOTE OF MARK 13:9-11.

2:30   And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.

THESE ARE SIGNS JUST BEFORE THE TRUE CHRIST RETURNS.

2:31   The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the LORD came.

ALL OTHER THINGS ARE ECLIPSED BECAUSE OF HIS BRIGHTNESS.

THIS IS JOEL'S PROPHECY ABOUT OUR FUTURE.

2:32  And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered : for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.

THE REMNANT = GOD'S ELECT.

THE REMNANT WILL MAKE A STAND AGAINST SATAN. ALL THE OTHERS, INCLUDING THE CHURCH WILL BE DECEIVED (II THESS. 2).

PEACE WILL COME TO JERUSALEM WHEN CHRIST RETURNS.

GOD BLESS

THE ONES THAT MAKE IT TO ETERNITY AND THE ONES THAT DONT WHEN THE SPIRIT LEAVES THE BODY

 

MOST PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW WHAT HAPPENS TO SOMEONE WHEN THE SPIRIT LEAVES THE BODY. GOD SAYS IN ECCL. 12, THAT THE SPIRIT RETURNS BACK TO THE FATHER WHO GAVE IT.

IN TODAY'S STUDY, WE ARE GOING TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENS TO THE ONES THAT MADE IT TO ETERNITY AND THE ONES THAT DIDN'T.

OUR STUDY TODAY IS FROM THE BOOK OF APOCRYPHA.

APOCRYPHA CONSISTS OF THE BOOKS THAT ARE FOUND IN THE GREEK VERSION OF THE HEBREW BIBLE (SEPTUAGINT). THE APOCRYPHA BOOKS WERE PART OF THE ORIGINAL 1611 KJV, BUT UNFORTUNATELY, THEY ARE NO LONGER INCLUDED IN MODERN BIBLES.

LET'S GO TO II ESDRAS 78-108.

For about death, the teaching is : When the final sentence goes forth from the Most High that a man is to die, when the soul departs from the body to return again to him who gave it, first of all it prays to the glory of the Most High ; if it was one of those who scorned and did not observe the way of the Most High, and of those who have despised his law, and of those who hate those who fear God, such spirits shall not enter dwellings but wander about thenceforth in torment, always grieving and sad, in seven ways : The first way is that they have scorned the Law of the Most High. The second way is that they can no longer make a good repentance, so that they may live. The third way is that they will see the reward destined for those who have believed the agreements of the Most High. The fourth way is that they will consider the torment destined for them in the last days. The fifth way is that they will see that the dwelling-places of the others are guarded by angels in profound silence. The sixth way is that they will see that some of them will pass over to be tormented henceforth. The seventh way, which is worse than all the ways that have been mentioned, is that they will waste away in shame and be consumed in disgrace, and wither with fear, at seeing the glory of the Most High before whom they sinned while they lived, and before whom they are destined to be judged in the last times.

"But of those who have observed the ways of the Most High, this is the order, when they shall be separated from this fragile jar. In the time when they lived in it, they carefully served the Most High, though they were in danger every hour, so as to keep the Law of the Lawgiver perfectly. Therefore this is the teaching about them : First of all, they see with great rapture the glory of him who takes them up, for they will rest in seven orders. The first order is that they have striven with much toil to conquer the wicked though that was formed with them, so that it should not lead them away from life to death. The second order is that they see the labyrinth in which the souls of the ungodly wander, and the punishment that awaits them. The third order is that they see the testimony that he who formed them has borne to them, because they were alive they faithfully observed the Law which was given them. The fourth order is that they understand the rest which they now enjoy, gathered in their chambers, in great quietness, watched over by angels, and the glory that awaits them in the last days. The fifth order is that they exult that they have now escaped what is corruptible and will process the future as their inheritance, and besides perceive the narrowness and toilsomeness from which they have been freed and the spaciousness they are destined to receive and enjoy in immortality. The sixth order is that it is shown to them how their face is destined to shine like the sun, and how they are to be made like the light of the stars, and be incorruptible henceforth. The seventh order, which is greater than all those that have been mentioned, is that they will exult boldly, and that they will trust confidently, and rejoice fearlessly, for they hasten to see the face of him whom they served in life, and from whom they are to receive their reward when they are glorified. These are the orders of the souls of the upright, as henceforth proclaimed, and the above ways of torture are those which those who would not give heed will henceforth suffer."

And I answered and said,

"Then will time be given the souls after they are separated from the bodies, to see what you have told me off ? "

And he said to me,

"They have freedom for seven days, to see on the seven days the things you have been told, and afterward they will be gathered in their dwellings."

GOD BLESS

CHRIST IS COMING BACK AFTER THE TRIBULATION.

 

                      Christ is coming back after the tribulation...This is what the scriptures say.

Unfortunately, most Christians are so into their church doctrines and traditions, they are unwilling to accept the word of God as it is written.

These Christians will worship Satan thinking he is Christ and they will ask for mountains to fall on them, when the true Christ appears, because they are ashamed to face Him (Rev. 6:15-17).

LET'S GO TO MARK 13.

Mark 13:1  And as He went out of the temple, one of His disciples saith unto Him, "Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here !"

13:2   And Jesus answering said unto him, "Seest thou these great buildings ? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down."

JESUS WAS TELLING THEM THAT, WHEN HE RETURNS HE WILL DESTROY JERUSALEM.

WHY ? BECAUSE THE UNCLEAN (SATAN) WILL BE THERE IN GOD'S TEMPLE PLAYING THE ROLE OF CHRIST.

13:3   And as He sat upon the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked Him privately.

13:4  "Tell us, when shall these things be ? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled ?"

CHRIST IS GOING TO TELL THEM ALL THE THINGS THAT WILL HAPPEN BEFORE HIS RETURN.

13:5   And Jesus answering them began to say, "Take heed lest any man deceive you :

13:6   For many shall come in My name, saying, 'I am Christ;' and shall deceive many.

IN OTHER WORDS, MANY CHRISTIAN PREACHERS WILL USE MY NAME AND DECEIVE MANY (WITH THEIR FALSE DOCTRINES).

13:7   And when ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars, be ye not troubled : for such things must needs be ; but the end shall not be yet.

WHAT IS THE OPPOSITE OF WAR ? PEACE.

WHEN YOU HEAR ABOUT PEACE THEN THE END IS HERE.

13:8   For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom : and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles : these are the beginning of sorrows.

FAMINES = NOT FOR BREAD BUT FOR HEARING THE WORD OF GOD (AMOS 8:11-13).

THE BEGINNING OF SORROWS = THE START OF LABOR PAINS.

13:9   But take heed to yourselves : for they shall deliver you up to councils ; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten : and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for My sake, for a testimony against them.

GOD'S ELECT (THE ONES WHO HAVE THE SEAL OF GOD IN THEIR FOREHEADS) WILL BE DELIVERED UP TO SATAN'S HEADQUARTERS. 

SATAN AND HIS PEOPLE WILL TRY TO CONVERT YOU.

13:10   And the gospel must first be published among  all nations.

THIS IS THE REASON WHY YOU WILL BE DELIVERED UP TO SATAN'S HEADQUARTERS.

13:11   But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do you premeditate : but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye : for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Spirit.

IT'S GOING TO BE LIKE IT WAS ON PENTECOST DAY (ACTS 2).

EVERYONE HEARS GOD'S MESSAGE IN THEIR OWN LANGUAGE AND DIALECT.

THIS IS THE EVIDENCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.

MAKE A NOTE OF JOEL 2:28.

13:12   Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son ; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death.

DEATH = ONE OF SATAN'S NAMES (HEB. 2:14).

WHY THE FAMILY MEMBER WILL DELIVER YOU (IF YOU ARE GOD'S ELECT) UP TO SATAN'S HEADQUARTERS ? BECAUSE THEY THINK HE IS CHRIST, AND THEREFORE, THEY DON'T WANT YOU TO GO TO HELL. THEY ARE DOING IT OUT OF LOVE ; THEY ARE DECEIVED.

13:13   And ye shall be hated of all men for My name's sake : but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

TOUGH TIMES ARE COMING BUT GOD IS ON OUR SIDE.

13:14   But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judea flee to the mountains :

JESUS MADE THE BOOK OF DANIEL PART OF THE NEW TESTAMENT.

HE QUOTED DANIEL 9:27.

THE ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION = IN THE HEBREW IS THE DESOLATOR (AN ENTITY) NOT DESOLATION.

HE IS TELLING YOU TO FLEE TO THE MOUNTAINS BECAUSE, AT THAT TIME HE IS COMING BACK AND DESTROYING JERUSALEM.

13:15   And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter therein, to take anything out of the house :

13:16   And let him that is in the field not turn back for to take up his garment.

13:17   But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days !

GOD IS NOT AGAINST PREGNANT WOMEN OR NURSING MOTHERS.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN ?

WOE TO THEM THAT ARE NO LONGER A VIRGIN BRIDE TO CHRIST (SPIRITUALLY), BUT THEY JUMPED INTO BED WITH SATAN (SPIRITUALLY).

IT'S THE GREAT APOSTASIA OF THE CHURCH (II THESS. 2:3).

APOSTASIA = TO CHANGE FROM WORSHIPPING THE TRUE GOD TO WORSHIPPING SATAN THINKING HE IS GOD.

13:18    And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter.

IN OTHER WORDS, DO NOT BE OUT OF SEASON (MATT. 24, Mark 13:28-29).

JESUS SAYS IT'S GOING TO BE IN THE SPRING TIME.

13:19   For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.

QUOTED DANIEL 12:1.

AFFLICTION = TRIBULATION.

13:20   And except that the LORD had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved : but for the elect's sake, whom He hath chosen, He hath shortened the days.

HE SHORTENED THE DAYS FROM SEVEN YEARS TO FIVE MONTHS (REV. 9:10-11).

WHY ? BECAUSE SATAN IS SUPERNATURAL AND HE COULD DECEIVE EVEN THE ELECT, IF HE STAYED HERE FOR SEVEN YEARS.

13:21   And then if any man shall say to you, 'Lo, here is Christ ;' or 'lo, He is there ;' believe him not :

IF SOMEONE TELLS YOU THAT CHRIST HAS RETURNED, DO NOT BELIEVE HIM.

13:22   For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.

SATAN AND HIS ANGELS ARE SUPERNATURAL AND WILL PERFORM SUPERNATURAL ACTS...BE ON GUARD.

13:23   But take ye heed : behold, I have foretold you all things.

HOW DID HE DO THAT ? HE DID IT THROUGH THE BOOK OF DANIEL.

13:24   But in those days, after the tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,

13:25   And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.

THIS IS THE 2ND TRIBULATION.

CHRIST WILL REMOVE THE UNCLEAN ONE (SATAN) AND LOCK HIM ON THE PIT FOR A THOUSAND YEARS.

MAKE A NOTE OF REV. 6:12-13, REV. 20.

13:26  And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.

CHRIST IS RETURNING HERE TO EARTH TO TEACH FOR A THOUSAND YEARS (EZEKIEL 44, REV. 5:10, REV. 20:6) , AFTER SATAN'S TRIBULATION.

13:27   And then shall He send His angels, and shall gather together His elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.

FOUR WINDS = FOUR PARTS OF THE EARTH.

HE WILL BE GATHERING HIS ELECT FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD, SO THEY CAN TEACH WITH HIM IN JERUSALEM FOR A THOUSAND YEARS.

GOD BLESS

THE CHERUBIM

The Cherubim are a celestial order of spirit-beings.  They are to be distinguished from the symbolic figures of them, which were made to represent them. 

Though heavenly, or celestial and spiritual in their nature and character, they are distinguished from the angels that are used as messengers. They never seen apart from the Throne.

In Genesis 3:24 were placed to keep or guard the way to the tree of life (Christ), and preserve the hope of re-genesis for a ruined creation.

Their presence on the Mercy Seat binds this hope of atonement, and with Israel.

Satan is a Cherubim (he is an angel) who guarded the Mercy Seat. However, he became proud of himself and instead of guarding the Mercy Seat (Christ's Seat) he wanted to sit on it (Ezekiel 28).

After his fall the four Cherubim that keep or guard the Mercy Seat are "programmed" to obey the Lord. They don't have a choice like Satan did.

The Cherubim cannot be a symbol of the church or any portion of redeemed humanity, for they are distinguished from them in Rev. 5:9-10.

They are four in number, and four is the number of creation.

They are represented by the symbolic heads of the four great divisions of animate creation : the lion (of wild beasts), the ox ( of tame beasts), the eagle (of birds), man (of humanity).

They are beneath the Throne, for the earth is Yahaveh's footstool.

We conclude therefore, that the Cherubim are spirit-beings associated in some way with the embodiment of creation's hope as expressed in Romans 8:19-23.  The emblematic representations made of them connect that hope with "the hope of Israel" and associate it with the blood-sprinkled Mercy Seat, and the rent veil (Hebrews 10:10,20).
