Daniel 12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
Daniel 12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
This study of Revelation is very much different than what is being taught in today’s churches. I believe Yahweh is opening our eyes to many of the secret truths in his word, and that he has divinely inspired the way the scriptures are laid out in the book of Revelation. Most of us have been taught that the chapters and verses are laid out in sequential order and that the seals, vials and trumps follow after each other. I believe Yahweh has in fact ordered the scriptures in a non-linear fashion, to prevent those that are not supposed to come to the knowledge of His truths about the end times and what is to come. This not only applies to ancient Israel, but also the end times “church”:
Isaiah 29:10-15
10 For YHVH hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers hath he covered.
11 And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot; for it is sealed:
12 And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned.
13 Wherefore the ADONAY said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:
14 Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.
15 Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from YHVH, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?
Daniel 12:9-10
9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.
Many people see the words “wicked” and “wickedly” in that scripture and immediately come to the conclusion that it is referring only to those that are the nastiest people in the world. See Strong’s 7563/7561. It also includes those that choose to violate Yahweh’s laws.
Wicked: rasha` raw-shaw' | from 'rasha`' (7561); morally wrong; concretely, an (actively) bad person:--+ condemned, guilty, ungodly, wicked (man), that did wrong. |
Wickedly: rasha` raw-shah' | a primitive root; to be (causatively, do or declare) wrong; by implication, to disturb, violate:--condemn, make trouble, vex, be (commit, deal, depart, do) wicked(-ly, -ness). |
2 Timothy 3:1-7
This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of ELOHIYM;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, (Remember that we are the bride of Yahshua! We will revisit this later.)
7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
Yahshua also spoke of this:
John 8:43-44a
Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.
44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do.
Here we see indications of the arrival of the “spirit of anti-messiah” which will later tie into the seals:
1 John 4:3
And every spirit that confesseth not that YAHSHUA MASHIYACH is come in the flesh is not of ELOHIYM: and this is that spirit of antiMASHIYACH, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
2 John 1:7
For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that YAHSHUA MASHIYACH is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antiMASHIYACH.
Note here that Yahshua had to have come for this definition of the “spirit of antimashiyach” to be present. In 1 John 2:18, the verse begins by referencing the “old testament” scripture that speaks about the antimashiyach coming, followed by the declaration that it is already here and that it is an indication that the “last time” has come (Daniel 12 mentioned above).
1 John 2:18
Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antiMASHIYACH shall come, even now are there many antiMASHIYACHs; whereby we know that it is the last time
As we go through this study, you will see that through the Vials (or bowls) and Trumps, that Yahweh has left us clues as to how they join together. As such, I believe that the Trumps and Vials walk hand-in-hand, and that each bowl is poured out with the corresponding sound of the same numbered Trump. I also believe that the Seals are historical in nature. You will see that they identify troubles that have progressively gotten worse and worse as each year passes. They take us through the history of the world from the time of Yahshua’s birth, through the mid-point of the tribulation (seals 1-5).
Seal number 6 “marks” the beginning of the judgment and the seventh seal is opened up on the day of Yahshua’s return. Even though Satan would like us all to think that he is in control, as you can see by the following passages in Matthew 24, Yahweh, through Yahshua, opened the seals AFTER his resurrection. This verifies that they chronicle events from that point forward. They outline how Satan has corrupted the earth, and how he has but a short time left. This time is for the righteous judgment of Satan, the fallen angels, those that refuse Yahweh’s law, deny the true name of Yahshua Hamashiach and do not accept him as their Savior.
We will cover Matthew 24 after briefly discussing the latter rain, because it covers much of what is revisited in the book of Revelation. I also suggest reading Deuteronomy 32, 33 & 34 and Psalm 91 to get a better understanding of this.
****The testimony of the bread and the law…….
I believe the “latter rain” to be Yahweh opening our eyes to the keeping of his law, combined with our faith belief in Yahshua Hamashiach, and our acceptance of His true name. In Deuteronomy 1:26, the word “commandment” (peh in Hebrew) means “mouth”, which as confirmed by other scripture, relates Yahweh’s spoken word as his commandments.
Deuteronomy 1:26
26 Notwithstanding ye would not go up, but rebelled against the commandment of YHVH your ELOHIYM:
peh peh | from 'pa'ah' (6284); the mouth (as the means of blowing), whether literal or figurative (particularly speech); specifically edge, portion or side; adverbially (with preposition) according to:--accord(-ing as, -ing to), after, appointment, assent, collar, command(-ment), X eat, edge, end, entry, + file, hole, X in, mind, mouth, part, portion, X (should) say(-ing), sentence, skirt, sound, speech, X spoken, talk, tenor, X to, + TWO-EDGED word!!!! |
Lets look at one of the last definitions of the Hebrew word “peh”, which is “Two-Edged word”. This will give us further insight into this unity of truths. Remember in Revelation how it describes Yahshua stepping on the Mount of Olives, cleaving it in two and then out of his mouth comes a TWO EDGED SWORD! (Rev 1:16; Rev 19:15, 21) We will see how that sword is Yahshua (grace and faith) COMBINED with the words of Yahweh (the Torah!):
Yahshua came not to speak his own words, but the words of Yahweh:
John 7:16-17
YAHSHUA answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.
17 If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of ELOHIYM, or whether I speak of myself.
John 12:44-50
YAHSHUA cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me.
45 And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me.
46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.
47 And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
49 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
50 And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.
entolh entole en-tol-ay' | from entellomai - entellomai 1781; injunction, i.e. an authoritative prescription:--commandment, precept. |
Wow! The commandments of Yahweh are a AUTHORITATIVE PRESCRIPTION for how we are to LIVE! So we’ve seen how the word of Yahweh IS his commandment, now let’s look at some scripture that When Yahshua was being tempted in the wilderness, he rebutted satan with grace/faith combined with the Torah:
Matthew 4:1-4
Then was YAHSHUA led up of the spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.
3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of ELOHIYM, command that these stones be made bread.
4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of YHVH.
Amazingly, this is also found in the Torah!:
Deut 8:3
And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of YHVH doth man live.
Yahshua IS the bread of life:
John 6:35, 51, 55
35 And YAHSHUA said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
53 Then YAHSHUA said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man (THE BREAD OF LIFE/FAITH AND GRACE!), and drink his blood (YAHSHUA WAS THE SACRAFICIAL LAMB SLAIN FOR THE REMISSION OF OUR SINS….A REPRESENTATION OF THE TORAH!), ye have no life in you.
54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.
58 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.
Part of this “latter rain” includes Yahweh revealing the hidden truths of the scriptures in regard to the end times. He has withheld these truths from the disobedient church, because she has played the harlot, and has become polluted with paganism and doctrines of devils. She has wholly denied the law of truth and refused to turn from her evil path. While the following scripture is referring to ancient Israel, we can easily see that it applies to the modern church as well:
Jeremiah 3:1-25
They say, If a man put away his wife, and she go from him, and become another man's, shall he return unto her again? Shall not that land be greatly polluted? But thou hast played the harlot with many lovers; yet return again to me, saith YHVH.
2 Lift up thine eyes unto the high places, and see where thou hast not been lien with. In the ways hast thou sat for them, as the Arabian in the wilderness; and thou hast polluted the land with thy whoredoms and with thy wickedness.
Whoredoms: znuwth zen-ooth' | from 'zanah' (2181); adultery, i.e. (figuratively) infidelity, idolatry:--whoredom. |
3 Therefore the showers have been withholden, and there hath been no latter rain; and thou hadst a whore's forehead, thou refusedst to be ashamed. (The blessing of the latter rain has been withheld from them!)
4 Wilt thou not from this time cry unto me, My father, thou art the guide of my youth?
5 Will he reserve his anger for ever? Will he keep it to the end? Behold, thou hast spoken and done evil things as thou couldest.
6 YHVH said also unto me in the days of Josiah the king, Hast thou seen that which backsliding Israel hath done? She is gone up upon every high mountain and under every green tree, and there hath played the harlot.
7 And I said after she had done all these things, Turn thou unto me. But she returned not. And her treacherous sister Judah saw it.
8 And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also.
9 And it came to pass through the lightness of her whoredom, that she defiled the land, and committed adultery with stones and with stocks.
10 And yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah hath not turned unto me with her whole heart, but feignedly, saith YHVH.
11 And YHVH said unto me, The backsliding Israel hath justified herself more than treacherous Judah.
12 Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith YHVH; and I will not cause mine anger to fall upon you: for I am merciful, saith YHVH, and I will not keep anger for ever.
13 Only acknowledge thine iniquity, that thou hast transgressed against YHVH thy ELOHIYM, and hast scattered thy ways to the strangers under every green tree, and ye have not obeyed my voice, saith YHVH.
14 Turn, O backsliding children, saith YHVH; for I am married unto you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion:
15 And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.
16 And it shall come to pass, when ye be multiplied and increased in the land, in those days, saith YHVH, they shall say no more, The ark of the covenant of YHVH: neither shall it come to mind: neither shall they remember it; neither shall they visit it; neither shall that be done any more.
17 At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of YHVH; and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of YHVH, to Jerusalem: neither shall they walk any more after the imagination of their evil heart.
18 In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the north to the land that I have given for an inheritance unto your fathers.
19 But I said, How shall I put thee among the children, and give thee a pleasant land, a goodly heritage of the hosts of nations? and I said, Thou shalt call me, My father; and shalt not turn away from me.
20 Surely as a wife treacherously departeth from her husband, so have ye dealt treacherously with me, O house of Israel, saith YHVH.
21 A voice was heard upon the high places, weeping and supplications of the children of Israel: for they have perverted their way, and they have forgotten YHVH their ELOHIYM.
22 Return, ye backsliding children, and I will heal your backslidings. Behold, we come unto thee; for thou art YHVH our ELOHIYM.
23 Truly in vain is salvation hoped for from the hills, and from the multitude of mountains: truly in YHVH our ELOHIYM is the salvation of Israel.
24 For shame hath devoured the labour of our fathers from our youth; their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters.
25 We lie down in our shame, and our confusion covereth us: for we have sinned against YHVH our ELOHIYM, we and our fathers, from our youth even unto this day, and have not obeyed the voice of YHVH our ELOHIYM.
Deuteronomy 32:1-4
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:
3 Because I will publish the name of YHVH: ascribe ye greatness unto our ELOHIYM.
He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a EL of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.
(More scripture mentioning the “latter rain”: Deut 11; Prov 16:1-17; Hos 6:1-11; Joel 2; Zach 10; Zach 12; Zach 13; James 5; Heb 6:7-8).
Matthew 24:3-14 describes all of the circumstances found in the first six seals in Revelation. We’ll speak more of this later.
Matthew 24:1-31
1 And YAHSHUA went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.
2 And YAHSHUA said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
4 And YAHSHUA answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am MASHIYACH (see definition); and shall deceive many.
CristoV Christos khris-tos' | from criw - chrio 5548; anointed, i.e. the Messiah, an epithet of Yahshua:--Mashiyach. Epithet: a descriptive characterization of a person; |
6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. (The end is a reference to the end times/tribulation and that these things lead up to it)
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows. (These are the birthing pangs , the end times began after Yahshua’s death, but the judgment is not until the middle of the 7 year tribulation –the 3 ½ year point)
9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. (Pre-Judgment Martyrs and those persecuted for their faith) (The true name of Yahshua Hamashiach!)
10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. (Both the heathen and the “Christians” will be offended by us, because of our stand for the law, righteousness, truth and the true name of Yahshua.)
11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. (Spawning murder and violence - lawlessness)
13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; (Satellite, Radio, Internet) and then shall the end come.
15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
(Setting up of the image of the antichrist at the northern entrance of the mosque on the Temple Mount. Note that the word “place” was used instead of “tabernacle”, “temple” or “synagogue”.

I believe, according to scripture, that the temple will NOT be rebuilt, but that they will only be successful in setting up the altar to prepare the mount for the temple they intend to build. The first step to building a new temple is to build a new altar, and then to sacrifice on it to purify the mount, before they would be able to begin building the new temple. I believe that this is the daily sacrifice that the scripture speaks of the anti-messiah stopping. I believe this also includes the anti-messiah stopping the Jews from offering their daily prayers at the Wailing Wall. Please see the “Temple Study” for more details. – Revelation 13:14-18; Dan 8; 11:31; 12:10-12; 2 Thes 2:3-4.)
16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
Verses 21 & 22 point out that this passage is NOT referring to the past troubles of Jerusalem in history, but is indeed referring to the judgments of the tribulation (vials/trumps) and the surrounding of Jerusalem as the beginning of the tribulation judgment. The anti-messiah takes the temple mount by force.
21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
(Joel 2:1-2)
22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is MASHIYACH, or there; believe it not.
24 For there shall arise false MASHIYACHs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. (Mark 13:19-20)
25 Behold, I have told you before.
26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together. (This is referring to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. We will get back to this later.)
29 Immediately AFTER the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light (There are two separate times where this type of event happens. Note that this time is AFTER the tribulation ends, the Sun is darkened, the moon does NOT give her light and stars fall from heaven (Joel 2:10; Mark 13:24-27). The passage we will see later in the Seals {Rev 6:12-17} is at the BEGINNING of the judgment of Yahweh, which is half way through the tribulation. The Sun is darkened, the moon turns blood-red, the stars fall and there is a great earthquake.), and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30 And THEN shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. (Zech 12:7-10)
31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. (This is a reference to the Seventh and final Trump – on the LAST DAY.)
Let’s look at how everything above matches the seals in the book of Revelation.
Once again, I believe that Yahshua began opening the seals after his ascension into heaven, after his death. The Strong Angel asks who is worthy to open the book of seals, and none was found. I believe this was because Yahshua was in the process of resurrecting from the dead (he was not on the earth or in the earth as a man, but had not yet ascended to heaven. Then, one of the elders says, “Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.” This is after he was crucified, buried and then resurrected. He then entered into the throne room, and in his glorified state, was successful in opening the book of the seals. This started the “End of Days” and put into motion the corruption of the earth and the coming judgment (the great tribulation). Satan and his demons were allowed to rule over the earth for this short time. As anyone can plainly see, the world has become more and more evil as each year progresses (Rev 22:11; Dan 12:10; 2 Tim 3:13-17). The following passage confirms this and sets the timeline for when the book of seals was opened, and when Yahshua began opening each of the seals contained therein. By this, we can see that the seals are confirmed to have started just after Yahshua’s ascension into heaven. This further confirms that the seals are circumstances and events that began back then, and that are increasing in intensity the closer we get to the time of judgment (birthing pangs).
Revelation 5:1-14
1 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.
2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?
3 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.
4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.
5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of ELOHIYM sent forth into all the earth. (The seven churches; Zech 4:2 & 10, Rev 1; Rev 2 & Rev 3)
7 And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.
8 And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.
9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to ELOHIYM by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
10 And hast made us unto our ELOHIYM kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;
12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.
13 And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.
14 And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever.
Each and every one of these seals are historical in nature. These things have always been present, but from the time of Yahshua’s resurrection, the seals were opened and all of these things began to increase with intensity and became more and more widespread. Today, these signs are more severe than they have ever been in all of history. Before we cover the seals, we need to look at a similar occurrence of four horsemen in the old testament. We will see that the horses and riders there do NOT match up to the ones in Revelation.
Zechariah 6:1-7
And I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came four chariots out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of brass.
2 In the first chariot were red horses; and in the second chariot black horses;
3 And in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot grisled and bay horses.
4 Then I answered and said unto the angel that talked with me, What are these, my lord?
5 And the angel answered and said unto me, These are the four spirits of the heavens, which go forth from standing before the ADOWN of all the earth.
6 The black horses which are therein go forth into the north country; and the white go forth after them; and the grisled go forth toward the south country.
7 And the bay went forth, and sought to go that they might walk to and fro through the earth: and he said, Get you hence, walk to and fro through the earth. So they walked to and fro through the earth.
1) Notice that the horses here are with chariots, in Revelation they are not.
2) The horses here are Red/Black/White/Grisled (spotted) and Bay (of a strong color). Also, Zechariah states that the Grisled go to the south country and the bay went forth to and fro throughout the earth, so they separated. In Revelation they are White/Red/Black/Pale. The fourth horse in Revelation is pale, not spotted. In Strong’s #5515, “pale” is said to be green or greenish.
3) The Zechariah horses are never identified as representing Yahweh’s judgment.
Revelation 6:1-17
1 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.
2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer. (Mat 24:6-8; The Roman Empire, Alexander the Great, Hitler and any other people throughout history who have attempted to rule or conquer the world.)
3 And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.
4 And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword. (Notice this is separate from the white horse which was the bearer of war. This horse begets violence and murder. Mat 24:9-10 & 12)
5 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.
6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine. (This seal denotes famine. This will get more and more increasingly widespread and even engulf the “rich” nations. This became really evident starting in 2008. There are world-wide food riots and we are beginning to see food shortages even in the United States. I believe that the “oil and the wine” is referring to Israel and the grafted in church being provided for and spared from the famine, which is going to get much worse. We know in scripture that Israel is referred to as an olive branch (Romans 11; Jer 11:16a; John 15) and that when we take communion, the wine represents the shed blood of Yahshua (Luke 22:20; 1 Cor 10:16-17; 1 Cor 11:24-25; Mat 26:28; Mark 14:24).
Psalms 37:17-19
For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but YHVH upholdeth the righteous.
18 YHVH knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever.
19 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
Psalms 37:25
I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth. (Rev 12:3-4; Luke 10:18; I believe this to be Satan and his fallen angels. They have been given authority over the sinners of the world to greatly increase their sin and the consequences thereof. Have not all of these things increased greatly?!)
9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of ELOHIYM, and for the testimony which they held: ***These are pre-judgment martyrs*** (These are ALL of those that have been martyred throughout all of history from Yahshua’s resurrection for their belief in Yahshua. “Pre-Judgment” martyrs – Matthew 24:9)
10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O ADONAY, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? (Notice here that they are pleading with Yahweh in regard to how long it will be before Yahweh releases his judgment upon the earth. Had the seals been part of the judgment, this would make no sense at all.)
11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled. (It also refers to the tribulation martyrs, those who are given the choice to take the mark and live, but refuse the mark and become a tribulation martyr. These are they who have rejected the true name of Yahshua, have refused to remove Paganism from their lives and have refused the laws, statutes and judgments of Yahweh. They will have this final opportunity to lay down their life for Yahshua and will receive salvation. This is their trial by fire. See 1 Corinthians 3:6-20; also see the section in this study on the cast out Children of the Kingdom.)
I believe everything prior to this point in the Seals (1-5) has covered all of history from Yahshua’s resurrection up until the midway point of the tribulation (3 ½ year mark). All of the listed “birth pangs” are getting worse and worse as time progresses (Dan 12:1-13). At the mid-point of the tribulation, the signs below occur to mark the antichrist’s assumption of power. He is given 3 ½ years to reign on the earth (Daniel 7:25) and sets up the abomination that maketh desolate (Daniel 8:11-14 & 8:19-25 & 11:30-45, & Matthew 24:15 & Revelation 13:14-15). This is also the point at which the mark of the beast is mandated upon the earth (Rev 13:16-18; 14:9 &11). The two witnesses also appear at this point (Rev 11:3-13; Zech 4). See below for one of the main signs (verse 12 below and Joel 2:28-32). Before this judgment can happen the remnant must also be sealed, so that they are protected from the wrath of Yahweh (see section on 144,000). During this time of sealing, the winds from the four corners of the earth are restrained. The final sign is the destruction of Babylon. This happens after Yahweh seals the Remnant and before the judgment begins Some people believe that this is Iraq. Only New York and America fit the prophecy of the end-time Babylon (Rev 14:7-11; Rev 17; Rev 18; Pslm 137:8-9; Isa 47; Jer 50:22-46; Mic 4:8-11; Zech 2).
Revelation 6:1-17 (Continued)
12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; (Joel 2:28-32)
13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. (Verses 13 & 14 could be referring to a great meteor shower with one very large one that impacts the earth.)
15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand? (THE ANSWER LIES BELOW!!)
This goes with some scripture concerning the reaping, or separation, of Yahweh’s children from the disobedient children of the earth. In Yahweh’s word, he uses the “reaping” of a harvest in three different ways. One describes the Last Trump, where all of those who follow Yahweh, and believe in Yahshua, both dead and those that are still alive and remaining, are taken up into the clouds, to accompany Yahshua to the Mount of Olives, where he will destroy the armies of the world (Armageddon). This will be covered later when we go over the Last Trump. The other ways describe the trial by fire of people during the tribulation where they have to give their life for Yahshua to receive salvation, by refusing the mark of the beast (deceived “Christians” who are not protected by Yahweh because of their disobedience – refusal of keeping Yahweh’s law and/or denying Yahweh or Yahshua’s names), and the reaping (destruction/death) of the wicked during Yahweh’s judgment and wrath in the tribulation.
There is one key event that MUST occur before Yahweh’s wrath can be unleashed upon the earth. His remnant must be sealed in their foreheads as an ensign of their total devotion to Yahweh, His judgments, His laws, His ordinances, His Son, and follow the Lamb whither so ever he leads and keeps His name Holy. This is what protects them from the judgments of Yahweh which are about to come upon all the earth (Pslm 37).
Revelation Chapter 7:1-17
1 And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.
2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel
5 Of the tribe of Judah
6 Of the tribe of Asher were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nephthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand.
7 Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand.
8 Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.
This next section of scripture is “inserted” and is referring to the times DURING the tribulation like the passages above, but is instead referring to all of those people, throughout all of time, who have accepted Yahshua and/or have died as martyrs for him (the “Great Multitude”), and is referring to the times AFTER the tribulation. Note that it refers separately to the “Great Multitude” and a group singled out to be wearing white robes. Those referenced to be in white robes are those that have refused the mark and have been martyred for their faith during the tribulation, because they were not sealed and protected from Yahweh’s judgment.
Revelation 7:9-17
9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.
11 And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,
12 Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.
13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?
14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.
16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.
17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.
In chapter 1 of Revelation, there are seven churches referenced and described. It covers two parts of each church, those therein that are wicked and those that are loyal and obedient to Yahweh, his laws, statutes and ordinances and who also have the testimony of Yahshua. Below, the obedient portion of each church is highlighted. They clearly match the key characteristics given in the scripture that describes Yahweh’s Remnant, or sealed 144,000 (Dan 12:1). To the converse, all of the parts of each church that is contrary to Yahweh’s laws/will are those that are the children of the kingdom that are cast into outer darkness. This will be covered later in more detail. Notice that after each church’s description, it concludes with a reward/blessing for those that are obedient, and that though each one is spoken to an “individual” church, the Spirit is speaking to ALL of the churches simultaneously. Thus, each church has no excuse for doing committing any of the offenses of the other churches.
Revelation 1:1-20 (Introduction to the Seven Churches)
1 The Revelation 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:
2 Who bare record of the word of God (the Law), and of the testimony of Jesus Christ (faith and grace), and of all things that he saw.
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.
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;
5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
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.
8 I am Alpha and Omega (In Hebrew: The Aleph and Tav), the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
9 I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God (the Law), and for the testimony of Jesus Christ (faith and grace).
10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day (Sabbath), and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,
11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega (In Hebrew: The Aleph and Tav), the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a 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.
12 And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks (the Seven Churches);
13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man (Yahshua!!!), clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.
14 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;
15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.
16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword (The I AM): and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.
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:
18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
19 Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter;
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.
Revelation 2:1-7 (The Church of Ephesus)
1 Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks;
2 I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:
3 And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.
4 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.
5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.
6 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate.
7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.
Revelation 2:8-11
8 And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;
9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life. (These are the tribulation martyrs: those “believers” that are not protected because of their refusal to rid their lives of paganism, refusal of Yahweh’s law and the denial of Yahshua’s name. Note that they had works, tribulation and poverty but this was not enough. They will be given the choice to either die for their belief in Yahshua, or take the mark of the beast.)
11 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.
Revelation 2:12-17
12 And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges;
13 I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.
14 But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.
15 So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes, which thing I hate.
16 Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.
17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.
Revelation 2:18-29
18 And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass;
19 I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first.
20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
21 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.
22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. (As mentioned before, this is also a reference to those who will not be protected from the things to come)
23 And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works. (Notice that in verse 19 “thy works” is mentioned twice, with the “last to be more than the first”. They have a lot of works, charity, etc, but they are not doing these things with a pure motive or right heart)
24 But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden.
25 But that which ye have already hold fast till I come.
26 And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:
27 And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.
28 And I will give him the morning star.
29 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
Revelation 3:1-6
1 And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead. (spiritually)
2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.
3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.
4 Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.
5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
6 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
Revelation 3:7-13
7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;
8 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name. (The one true name – Yahshua!)
9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. (See Rev 13:10; Rev 14:12; 1 John 1:1-10; 1 John 2:3-6 & 15-18 & 24 & 27-29; 1 John 3:1-10 & 18-24; 1 John 5:1-21; Mat 19:17 & 24:26; Jude 1:21-25; John 14:21 & 15:1-10; John 16; Michah 5:7-9)
11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.
13 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
Revelation 3:14-22
14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;
15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: (spiritually)
18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. (these are also those mentioned before that must become tribulation martyrs or take the mark)
19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
Revelations chapter 14 contains several segments of scripture that refer to different times and places and is not chronological. This section refers to the remnant of Yahweh (the 144,000), which is mentioned above, but is referring to the times AFTER Yahshua’s return.
Revelation 14:1-5
1 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion
2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:
3 And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.
4 These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. (See the reference to the Parable of the Virgins below. These are they which have purified themselves by keeping Yahweh’s law, statutes, ordinances and judgments and keep the name of Yahshua. They are not defiled by Pagan holidays, the traditions of men, false teachings or the things of this world. They have separated themselves from the paganized churches and have truly become a peculiar people!) These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.
5 And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.
Rev 15:1-4 was inserted before the trumps and is referencing the gathering around the throne AFTER the tribulation has ended. Notice the comment: “them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name…” These are the 144,000. See Rev 14:1-5 above which, as mentioned before, is about the remnant or sealed 144,000.
Revelation 15:1-4
1 And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God.
2 And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.
3 And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints. (Duet 32 – The Song of Moses)
4 Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest. (Mic 4:1-2)
***PARABLE OF THE VIRGINS***
Paul speaking in 2 Corinthians 11:2:
For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.
Ephesians 5:25-32
25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. (This sounds like a pure, holy, undefiled virgin to me!)
Psalm 45:1-17
1 To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim, for the sons of Korah, Maschil, A Song of loves. My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.
2 Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.
3 Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty, with thy glory and thy majesty.
4 And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.
5 Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies; whereby the people fall under thee.
6 Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre.
7 Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
8 All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad.
9 Kings' daughters were among thy honourable women: upon thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir.
10 Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people, and thy father's house;
11 So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; and worship thou him.
12 And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; even the rich among the people shall intreat thy favour.
13 The king's daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold.
14 She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework: the virgins her companions that follow her shall be brought unto thee.
15 With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought: they shall enter into the king's palace.
16 Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, whom thou mayest make princes in all the earth.
17 I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations: therefore shall the people praise thee for ever and ever.
Matthew 25:1-13
1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. (Keeping the law in your hearts and obeying Yahweh’s laws! Zach 4)
5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. (These are they which are cast into outer darkness, the disobedient servant who tramples under foot the cross of Christ – Heb 6:4-6, Heb 10:15-31, 2 Pet 2, Matt 5:13, 8:12, 22:1-14, 25:30, 1 Cor 3:13-17. Also, judgment of Pastors and between fellow “professed” believers – Ezk 34; Deut 32:5-7 & 15-21 & 26-43, Isa 59:1-21 (Deut 32:29 goes with Psalm 111:1-10); The spot of corruption is the acceptance of the mark of the beast and that person’s marriage to Satan. The spot of Yahweh’s children is the sealing of the Remnant in their foreheads ).
13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
Revelation 19:7-9
7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.

9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of ELOHIYM.

18 And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
Isaiah 61:10-11
10 I will greatly rejoice in YHVH, my soul shall be joyful in my ELOHIYM; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.
11 For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the ADONAY YHVH will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.
Isaiah 62:1-5, 11-12
1 For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth.
2 And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of YHVH shall name.
3 Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of YHVH, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy ELOHIYM.
4 Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzibah, and thy land Beulah: for YHVH delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married.
5 For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee: and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy ELOHIYM rejoice over thee.
Jeremiah 33:11
11 The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the voice of them that shall say, Praise YHVH of hosts: for YHVH is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: and of them that shall bring the sacrifice of praise into the house of YHVH. For I will cause to return the captivity of the land, as at the first, saith YHVH.
Joel 2:15-16
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.
Song Of Solomon 1:2-4
1 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love is better than wine.
3 Because of the savour of thy good ointments thy name is as ointment poured forth, therefore do the virgins love thee.
4 Draw me, we will run after thee: the king hath brought me into his chambers: we will be glad and rejoice in thee, we will remember thy love more than wine: the upright love thee.
Song Of Solomon 6:9-13
9 My dove, my undefiled is but one; she is the only one of her mother, she is the choice one of her that bare her. The daughters saw her, and blessed her; yea, the queens and the concubines, and they praised her.
10 Who is she that looketh forth as the morning, fair as the moon, clear as the sun, and terrible as an army with banners?
11 I went down into the garden of nuts to see the fruits of the valley, and to see whether the vine flourished and the pomegranates budded.
12 Or ever I was aware, my soul made me like the chariots of Amminadib.

3 YHVH hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.
4 Again I will build thee, and thou shalt be built, O virgin of Israel: thou shalt again be adorned with thy tabrets, and shalt go forth in the dances of them that make merry.
1 Corinthians 7:34
34 There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of YHVH, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.
Micah 4:5-8
5 For all people will walk every one in the name of his god, and we will walk in the name of YHVH our ELOHIYM for ever and ever.
6 In that day, saith YHVH, will I assemble her that halteth, and I will gather her that is driven out, and her that I have afflicted;
7 And I will make her that halted a remnant, and her that was cast far off a strong nation: and YHVH shall reign over them in mount Zion from henceforth, even for ever.

10 Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith YHVH.

12 And YHVH shall inherit Judah his portion in the holy land, and shall choose Jerusalem again.
13 Be silent, O all flesh, before YHVH: for he is raised up out of his holy habitation.
Isaiah 52:1-3, 6-15
1 Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean.
2 Shake thyself from the dust; arise, and sit down, O Jerusalem: loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion.
3 For thus saith YHVH, Ye have sold yourselves for nought; and ye shall be redeemed without money.
6 Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore they shall know in that day that I am he that doth speak: behold, it is I.
7 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy ELOHIYM reigneth!
8 Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when YHVH shall bring again Zion.

13 Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high.
14 As many were astonied at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men:
15 So shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut their mouths at him: for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they consider.
Romans 7:4
4 Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of MASHIYACH; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto ELOHIYM.
Verses 6-8 cover the spreading of the Gospel (which must happen before the last day can come), the announcement of the judgment coming and the fall of Babylon (America
Revelation 14:6-8
6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,
7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
8 And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. (Rev 17; Rev 18; Pslm 137:8-9; Isa 47; Jer 50:22-46; Mic 4:8-11; Zech 2).
Verses 9-11 warns against taking the mark of the beast.
Revelation 14:9-11
9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
Revelation 14:12 refers to those who refuse the mark, keep Yahweh’s laws AND their faith in Yahshua. This refers to the 144,000 again. Note the keeping of the law AND having faith in Yahshua. The “Patience of the Saints” is the resistance and refusal of the mark of the beast and the aintichrist’s system.
Rev 14:12
Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Yahshua.
