The Nativity

In the last study we did, we seen the conception of John the Baptist transpired on June 24th 5 BC and the conception of our Lord Jesus Christ happened on December 25th that same year. With this understanding we arrive at the true birth of our Lord which happened nine months later on September 29th 4 BC, the first day of the Feast of Tabernacles.

Let’s start this study of the Nativity with Luke Chapter 2.

Luke 2:1-2 KJVS
“And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. [2] (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)”

This tax put forth by Ceaser Augustus was a census: a registry which people of their own regions would have to report to.

Luke 2:3-4 KJVS
“And all went to be taxed, everyone into his own city. [4] And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)”

Joseph was of the lineage of David. We can see his lineage given in Matthew Chapter 1. 

Luke 2:5 KJVS
“To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.”

With Joseph, Mary was also put into registry, thus being Joseph’s espoused wife, and pregnant with her child. We can see Mary’s lineage written about in Luke Chapter 3 which is her father Heli’s lineage who was obviously Joseph’s father-in-law. In Mary’s lineage through her father we can see she was also of the house of David. With both being from the house of David: we see in Joseph’s lineage, again given in Matthew Chapter 1, that he would come from Solomon, and in Mary’s lineage, as we can see in Luke Chapter 3, Mary would come from Nathan: both Nathan and Solomon being sons of David.

We also should add that Mary through her father was of the king line, and as we have seen in the last study Elizabeth, Mary’s cousin, was of the daughters of Aaron thus making Mary, through her mother, of the Levitical line as well. 

Luke 2:6-7 KJVS
“And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. [7] And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.”

Here we see after the Word was made flesh through the conception, our Lord Jesus Christ was tabernacled among mankind through His birth thus fulfilling John Chapter 1 verse 14, the Word “dwelt amongst us” 

Therefore, we see the significance of our Lord Jesus Christ birth taking place on September 29th 4 BC, the first day of the Feast of Tabernacles.

Luke 2:8 KJVS
“And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.”

Here we see shepherds abiding in the field at night keeping watch over their flock. This couldn’t have happened on December 25th because as Bullinger also points out in Appendix 179 in the Companions Bibe, shepherds wouldn’t be keeping flocks of sheep in the winter months.  Also, a census being imposed by Ceaser Augustus in the winter months wouldn’t be fair conditions for travel for the people who are registering.

What did these shepherds see that night in the feild? 

Luke 2:9-12 KJVS
“And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. [10] And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. [11] For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. [12] And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.”

A wonderful message from the Angel of the Lord, a message of glad tidings of a humble birth in meager conditions. The birth of a great Prince who is the King of Kings, and the Lord of Lords had taken place: for He is Emanuel, that is to say God with us! 

Luke 2:13-14 KJVS
“And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, [14] Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.”

Good will towards all men indeed from our Heavenly Father through the Holy Spirit from the womb of an espoused virgin that was from both king and Levitical line. Unto us a child was born to take upon himself the sins of many becoming our High Priest, the unblemished Lamb that would be the one- and all-time sacrifice for our sins. 

Luke 2:16-20 KJVS
“And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. [17] And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child. [18] And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds. [19] But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart. [20] And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.”

A shepherd must always remain on watch, and what these shepherds seen that night had to be quite an experience indeed. If I may add, as those shepherds were on watch, the shepherds of these end times will be on watch for the return of the Kings of Kings who is not coming back as a Lamb but returning as a Lion at the Seventh Trumpet. Our Lord Jesus Christ who is the Lion of the tribe of Judah will return at the end of the world which is the Harvest (Matthew Chapter 13 verse 37 through 42).

Moving on.

Luke 2:21 KJVS
“And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb.”

This eighth day was the last and great day of the Feast of Tabernacles (John Chapter 7:37), also these eight days were accomplished thus fulfilling our Lord’s circumcision per Leviticus Chapter 12:3.

Jesus, which means Jehovah’s Savior, also being the name that was given to the child by the Angel before He was conceived in Luke Chapter 1 verses 30 through 31.

Luke 2:22 KJVS
“And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord;”

This purification according to the Law of Moses is spoken about in Leviticus Chapter 12 verses 1 through 4. This purification would be forty days total until Mary and Joseph could present the beautiful and wonderful child to the Lord in Jerusalem.

Luke 2:23 KJVS
“(As it is written in the law of the Lord, every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;)”

Verse 23 here is quoted from Exodus Chapter 13 verse 2. Jesus Christ is Holy to the Lord, no doubt, for He “is the first born of every creature: for by Him was all things created in heaven and that are in earth (Colossians Chapter 1 verses 15 through 18). He is the Word, the Light that shines through men.

Luke 2:24 KJVS
“And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.”

This offer of sacrifice is written in Leviticus Chapter 12 verse 6.

We see the Law was still being fulfilled after Christ’s birth; for our Lord Jesus Christ was the fulfillment of the Law and also the Prophets who prophesied of His coming, which is the first advent, long before the conception.

Luke 2:25-32 KJVS
“And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him. [26] And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord’s Christ. [27] And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law, [28] Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said, [29] Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word: [30] For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, [31] Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people; [32] A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.”

Simeon here quoted from the Prophets, which was Isaiah Chapter 42 verses 1 through 7.

Isaiah 42:1-7 KJVS
“Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles. [2] He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street. [3] A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench he shall bring forth judgment unto truth. [4] He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law. [5] Thus saith God the Lord, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein: [6] I the Lord have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles; [7] To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.”

Our Lord Jesus Christ who is Jehovah’s Savior, and God’s Salvation was born out of Bethlehem, which means house of Bread, being the Word of God that was made flesh. Our Lord Jesus Christ who is the image of the Father was created and born to open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house. This prison being the prison of the majorities minds so to speak which the prince of this air who is Satan, even at this time, controls. Our Lord Jesus Christ is the Light that shines into darkness, which darkness cannot overpower (John Chapter 1 verses 1 through 5).

Luke 2:33-34 KJVS
“And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him. [34] And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against;”

Even today many speak against Christ who is the sign that was given to us all throughout the Old and New Testament: His Word! 

Fall here in verse 34 means stumbling block and we can see this stumbling block written about all over our Heavenly Fathers scriptures (Isaiah Chapter 8 verse 14, Matthew Chapter 21 verses 42 and 44, Acts Chapter 4 verse 11, Romans Chapter 9 verse 33, and 1st Corinthians Chapter 1 verse 23).

The Stone, in which many people stumble in unbelief, who is Jesus Christ “was set to naught by the builders as we can see in Acts Chapter 4 verse 11 and Psalms 118 verse 22). This means Christ who was rejected and treated in contempt became the Head of the Corner, for the rising of many (Matthew Chapter 11: 5-6) who will believe upon Him, repent and walk and remain in His way which is the truth and the life. Jesus Christ is the true Cornerstone, a foundation which we can set our lives upon. Our Rock! 

Simeon concludes.

Luke 2:35 KJVS
“(Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.”

Simeon knew by the power of the Holy Spirit that years after our Lord and Saviors birth, He would be crucified upon the cross thus sending a sword of heartbreak through Mary. However as hard as that may have been for her, she knew that it had to come to pass so our Heavenly Father could resurrect Him for the greater good. The greater good being that all who will believe upon our Lord Jesus Christ and repent, will rise up and walk in the newness of the Spirit (Romans Chapter 7), guided by the Light of His Truth

The Nativity was fulfilled so we may believe upon Him who is the Word that was made flesh and dwelt among many. Our Lord Jesus Christ through His conception, birth, death and resurrection, being the Firstborn of every creature (Colossians Chapter 1) fulfilled the Law and the Prophets, made it possible for us to learn of Him and to eventually rise up and join Him in everlasting Life. Halleluiah!

Jesus Christ is the Bread of Life, that was born out of Bethlehem, who we can partake of by feasting upon His Words daily, for He is the Word that was there from the beginning, who foretold us all things.

This has been about our Lord and Saviors birth, the Nativity.

The end. 

“A Virgin Shall Conceive”…

John 1:1-5 KJVS
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. [2] The same was in the beginning with God. [3] All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made. [4] In him was life; and the life was the light of men. [5] And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.”

Our Lord Jesus Christ who was the Word, was there since the beginning and in Him was life and life was the Light of men.

John 1:6-14 KJVS
“There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. [7] The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. [8] He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. [9] That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. [10] He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. [11] He came unto his own, and his own received him not. [12] But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: [13] Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. [14] And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.”

John the Baptist was conceived and born to bear witness of the Light who is Jesus Christ, and Jesus Christ was the Word that was made flesh and dwelt among many. His glory was for many to behold, the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. This study is based upon the conception of the forerunner of the Light and the conception of the only begotten, through Mary, who would bring us the Light: our Lord Jesus Christ. 

Let’s go to Luke Chapter 1 starting at verse 5 , as Our Heavenly Father through Luke gives us an accurate account on both conceptions.

Luke 1:5 KJVS
“There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.”

Zacharias was a priest, a high priest of the course of Abia. These courses are Levitical courses that were originally set up by David in 1st Chronicles Chapter 24. Two courses for a priest two times a year in which each course was a seven-day period.  It was in the month of June when Zacharias fulfilled his obligation to his course.

Looking at Appendix 179 III, in the Companions Bible we see the announcement of the miraculous conception of John the Baptist to Zacharias between June 13th through the 19th during his priestly course which would end on June 19th in 5 BC.

Here in verse 5, we see Elizabeth, Zacharias wife, was of the daughters of Aaron making her part of the Levitical line of the House of Israel. 

Luke 1:6-17 KJVS
“And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless. [7] And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were now well stricken in years. [8] And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest’s office before God in the order of his course, [9] According to the custom of the priest’s office, his lot was to burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord. [10] And the whole multitude of the people were praying without at the time of incense. [11] And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense. [12] And when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him. [13] But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John. [14] And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth. [15] For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother’s womb. [16] And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God. [17] And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.”

With the power of the Holy Spirit within John inside Elizabeth’s womb, John the Baptist would go forth from his birth to be the forerunner to our Lord Jesus Christ bearing witness of His Light thus preparing the way of our Lord.

Luke 1:18-23 KJVS
“And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years. [19] And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to shew thee these glad tidings. [20] And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because thou believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season. [21] And the people waited for Zacharias, and marvelled that he tarried so long in the temple. [22] And when he came out, he could not speak unto them: and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple: for he beckoned unto them, and remained speechless. [23] And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days of his ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house.”

After receiving the announcement from Gabriel and becoming dumbstricken and not able to speak, Zacharias completing his priestly course would put us at June 19th, 5 BC; not leaving Jerusalem until June 20th. Upon his departure calculating his time of travel being old in age, Zacharias would not arrive to his house until June 21st or on June 22nd. This leaves ample time for the miraculous conception to take place on or about June 23rd or June 24th that year.  See Appendix 179 in E.W Bullingers Companions Bible on page 198 through 200.

Luke 1:24-25 KJVS
“And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying, [25] Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he looked on me, to take away my reproach among men.”

After Elisabeths conception she hid herself for five months.

Now we go to her cousin Mary.

Luke 1:26-27 KJVS
“And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, [27] To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary.”

Six months from Elisabeths miraculous conception of John would put the visitation of Gabriel upon Mary on December 25th which many today believe to be the date that the birth of our Lord transpired.

Luke 1:28-38 KJVS
“And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. [29] And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be. [30] And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. [31] And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. [32] He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: [33] And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. [34] Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? [35] And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. [36] And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren. [37] For with God nothing shall be impossible. [38] And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.”

We as Christians believe that life begins in the womb, however we as Christians also know that our Lord Jesus Christ, who was conceived in Mary’s womb by the Holy Spirit on the sixth month of Elisabeths pregnancy, is Life and is the Light that has been here from the beginning. We see here in the following verses that even John who was in Elisabeth’s womb felt the presence of the Holy Spirit after Mary ran to her to tell her the news.

Luke 1:39-41 KJVS
“And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda; [40] And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth. [41] And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:”

John rejoiced in the womb.

Luke 1:42-56 KJVS
“And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. [43] And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? [44] For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy. [45] And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord. [46] And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, [47] And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. [48] For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. [49] For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name. [50] And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation. [51] He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. [52] He hath put down the mighty from their seats and exalted them of low degree. [53] He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away. [54] He hath holpen his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy; [55] As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed forever. [56] And Mary abode with her about three months and returned to her own house.”

A powerful testimony of the richness and fullness of the Almighty! His arm His strength that dwelt among many from that day thus moving John the Baptist to leap in his mother’s womb. A child conceived and would be born to bring Light to many. 

From the point of Mary’s arrival on that sixth month of Elisabeth’s pregnancy with John, Mary abode with Elizabeth for three months and then journeyed home.

Luke 1:57 KJVS
“Now Elisabeth’s full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son.”

After three months from Mary’s salutation and her departure, Elizabeth brought forth John the Baptist which would make it March 28th or the 29th.

Luke 1:58-80 KJVS
“And her neighbours and her cousins heard how the Lord had shewed great mercy upon her; and they rejoiced with her. [59] And it came to pass, that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they called him Zacharias, after the name of his father. [60] And his mother answered and said, Not so ; but he shall be called John. [61] And they said unto her, There is none of thy kindred that is called by this name. [62] And they made signs to his father, how he would have him called. [63] And he asked for a writing table, and wrote, saying, His name is John. And they marvelled all. [64] And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue loosed, and he spake, and praised God. [65] And fear came on all that dwelt round about them: and all these sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hill country of Judaea. [66] And all they that heard them laid them up in their hearts, saying, What manner of child shall this be! And the hand of the Lord was with him. [67] And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying, [68] Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people, [69] And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David; [70] As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began: [71] That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us; [72] To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant; [73] The oath which he sware to our father Abraham, [74] That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear, [75] In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life. [76] And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways; [77] To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins, [78] Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us, [79] To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace. [80] And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his shewing unto Israel.”

Indeed, the witness who was John the Baptist was conceived and born to prepare the way for the Lord Jesus Christ who was the light from the beginning. A sign given through the prophets of old, which we see in Isaiah Chapter 7.

Isaiah 7:14 KJVS
“Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.”

That virgin was Mary who conceived on December 25th, and who beared our Lord Jesus Christ nine months later on September 29th thus fulfilling the Nativity. He is Immanuel which means God with us, even when He was in the womb.

Rejoice! 

Throne of Glory

As we begin this study, I feel it’s important to go to Revelation Chapter 1 to find out the time frame of Revelation Chapter 4.

Revelation 1:7-10 KJVS
“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, 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, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ. [10] I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,”

John was in the Isle that is called Patmos and was taken in the spirit to the Lord’s Day which begins at the Seventh Trumpet.

This study is based on the vision of Revelation Chapter 4 that was given to John which gives us an awesome understanding of our Lords return. 

Revelation 4:1 KJVS
“After this I looked, and behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me, which said, come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.”

This transpires upon our Lords return to the earth and I believe John was taken aboard our Lord’s highly polished spectrum metal vehicle upon its descent to earth thus signifying the sounding of the Seventh Trumpet.

Revelation 4:2-3 KJVS
“And immediately I was in the spirit: and behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne. [3] And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.”

This throne is our Lord Jesus Christ’s and will be transported here in this highly polished spectrum metal vehicle. Here in verse 3, you can see a rainbow round about the throne: the same rainbow that we can find in the last verse of Ezekiel Chapter 1.

Ezekiel 1:28 KJVS
“As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spake.”

In Eziekiel Chapter 1 you can find this same highly polished spectrum metal vehicle spoken about in the vision that was given to Ezekiel. If you are to look at Ezekiel Chapter 1 verse 4 you can see the appearance of this vehicle was the color of amber and amber in the Hebrew translation means highly polished spectrum metal.

Of uncertain derivation; probably bronze or polished spectrum metal: – amber.”

I believe we can see clearly in Revelation Chapter 4; John was told to come up hither and taken aboard what appears to be our Lords flagship that will carry His throne upon His descent to earth.

Let’s see what else John saw when he was taken aboard that vehicle.

Revelation 4:4 KJVS
“And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.”

24 seats were round about our Lord’s throne, in them were 24 elders in white raiment with crowns upon thier heads. These crowns that they were wearing indicate them taking part in the first resurrection which transpires at the seventh trumpet.

Who are these 24 elders?

Matthew 19:27-28 KJVS
“Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore? [28] And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.”

12 of these elders are the 12 Apostles as Jesus points out in Matthew Chapter 19. It is my belief the other 12 thrones go to the 12 Patriarchs of Israel. Seeing these 24 kings and priest surround our Lord and Saviors throne, I feel it’s important to point out the negative counter part of these 24 elders which are the ten supernatural fallen angel kings that will recieve power as kings, 1 hour with the beast who is Satan.  These ten kings are the ten horns you can read about in Daniel Chapter 7 which are part of Daniel’s fourth beast, and Revelation Chapter 13 where you see them part of the one world political beast that will turn into a one world religious beast; and in Revelation Chapter 17 where it says they will reign 1 hour with the beast who is Satan. 

Revelation 17:12-13 KJVS
“And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. [13] These have one mind and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.”

This one hour is the five-month long hour of temptation which will transpire right before the great notable Day of our Lord’s return: the Seventh Trumpet.

Staying with this for a moment, In the Companions Bible on page 1889 in the note section for Revelation Chapter 4 verse 4, Bullinger points out that these 24 elders are a Heavenly pattern after which David arranged his twenty-four courses of the sons of Aaron. (See 1st Chronicles Chapter 24 verses 3 through 5).

The priestly courses of the Levites were divided into 24 courses which each course, the priest would serve one week, two times a year: 14 days for each priest.  So, if we take the 14 days and multiply it by ten fallen angel kings you’ll then have 140 days. 140 days in lunar time is five-months: the five-month long HOUR of temptation, in which these ten fallen angel kings will be given power as kings to reign with the beast who again is Satan. 

Going back to the vision of John in Revalation Chapter 4.

Revelation 4:5 KJVS
“And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.”

Many of the 7000 Zadok have already lived and died throughout the centuries who have served our Heavenly Father and returned to Him. This is the candlestick in Heaven, and most of the Zadok which are in heaven are the armies in heaven who will return with Christ as it is written in Revelation Chapter 19 verses 11 through 14. Indeed, many of the Zadok will follow Christ upon white horses which could indicate vehicles.

Staying with verse 5 in Revelation Chapter 4, we see that these Zadok in heaven are also the seven spirits of God. Seven means spiritual completeness and the total 7000 Zadok, which also includes the final remnant that will be here on earth, names are already written in the book of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. Because they made a stand against Satan in the first world age, they all have been chosen to come forth through this second world age, each in their apointed generations, to serve our Heavenly Father. Because they were chosen, freewill is absent from them and the Holy Spirit used and can use them at any time throughout their lives. Remember most of the 7000 Zadok have already lived and died throughout the centuries and many of them and their lives were used to write our Heavenly Fathers Word. The light from the final remnant testimonies shines and will continue to shine on earth, as the candlestick which is before our Lord Jesus Christ throne will continue to shine through His Words in His Holy scripture.

Moving on

Revelation 4:6 KJVS
“And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind.”

In the midst of our Lord’s throne and around it is four living creatures that we can also read about in Revelation Chapter 6. These four beasts also have a negative counterpart which are the four angels that will be loosed from the river Euphrates when the sixth trumpet sounds in the middle of the five-month long hour of temptation.

Revelation 9:13-15 KJVS
“And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar, which is before God, [14] Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates. [15] And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.”

Keep in mind that Satan will appear in Jerusalem at the sixth seal,  sixth trumpet and the sixth vial as the negative counterpart to Jesus Christ and His throne.  

Continuing with the four living creatures in Revalation Chapter 4.

Revelation 4:7 KJVS
“And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle.”

Here in verse 7 we are seeing these same four living creatures that Ezekiel seen in Ezekiel Chapter 1. Just like here in Revelation Chapter 4 we see in Ezekiel Chapter 1 verse 10 the likeness of these four living creatures which had a face of a man, a lion, an ox, an eagle. It appears these four living creatures protect our Lord’s throne.

After this pattern of protection we see here in Numbers Chapter 2: the encampment of Israel according to the flesh when they were in the wilderness for forty years. Through this diagram that is given in the Companions Bible on page 181, we see Judahs standard representing the lion towards the east,  Ephraims standard representing the ox towards the west, and we see Ruebans standard representing a man towards the north and Dan’s standard representing an eagle towards the south.

Continuing with John and his vision.

Revelation 4:8-9 KJVS
“And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come. [9] And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever,”

Here in verses 8 and 9 we see that these four beasts that surround our Lord Jesus Christs throne had wings and these four beast were also full of eyes within.

Next couple verses to close out the Chapter.

Revelation 4:10-11 KJVS
“The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, [11] Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.”

Bringing our attention back to the 24 elders that surround Christs throne, we see they had crowns upon their heads which once again puts us in the time frame of the seventh trumpet. Upon our Lord Jesus Christ return after the five-month long hour of temptation ends, all who will take part in the first resurrection will receive crowns which represents eternal life. 

In closing of this study, we are going to jump over to Daniel Chapter 7 and look at a few verses which correspond with this interesting fourth Chapter of Revelation.

Let’s check it out.

Daniel 7:9 KJVS
“I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire.”

Once again, we see these wheels which are the four living creatures that surround our Lord Jesus Christs throne and the seats of Judgment being placed for the millennium.

Daniel 7:10 KJVS
“A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.”

At the seventh trumpet judjment will be set and these thousand and thousands that minister unto Christ directly will be the total 7000 Zadok that we can also read about in Ezekiel Chapter 44 starting with verse 15.

These are the priest the Levites, the sons of Zadok, all 7000 of them, who will be part of the Millennial Priesthood, and the only ones who can approach Christs throne during the 1000 years which is the Millennium.  They are the 24 elders along with the rest of the Zadok that will return with Christ, plus the 232 final remnant of Zadok that will be gathered from the four winds to our Lords throne to also minister unto Christ during that great and notable day.

Again, Judgment will be set, and the books will be opened, and this Judgment can only happen when the King of Kings and Lord of Lords return and touches His feet upon the Mt of Olives where He once ascended from. (Zechariah Chapter 14, Acts Chapter 1)

This has been a vision that was given to John of a true throne of power, glory and honor. Thanks be to Our Heavenly Father in Jesus name.

The end. 

Noah, Lot; About Our Lord’s Return

Luke 17:26-27 KJVS
“And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. [27] They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.”

Our Lord Jesus Christ was telling His disciples what it will be like upon His return.  Like the days of Noah, many will partake in ungodliness such as eating, drinking spiritually of Satan’s deception which will be distributed from him and through his fallen angles up until the unexpected return of our Lord Jesus Christ at the Seventh Trumpet.

Unlike a few that will remain on watch, our Lords unexpected return will take many by surprise who will be found still in Satan’s deception when the Seventh Angel sounds.

It will be right before the seventh trumpet sounds when Satan’s fallen angels are destroyed in an earthquake as it is written in Revelation Chapter 11 verse 13. When the seventh angel immediately sounds after the 7000 fallen angels are destroyed, the Lord will return and destroy Satan’s deception, his one world system, and all flesh as it is written in Revelation Chapter 19 verses 19 through 21.

Just like the days of Noah, which Noah was just and perfect as to breed or pedigree, those who will have the only one who was righteous and just inside them, our Lord Jesus Christ, will go forth on the Ark so to speak and take part in the first resurrection at the seventh trumpet.

Jesus Christ continues in Luke Chapter 17.

Luke 17:28 KJVS
“Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;”

This buying and selling here in the days of Lot can be prophetically compared to the Mark of the Beast written in Revelation Chapter 13 verses 11 through 18. As those of Sodom went forth buying and selling in a physical sense as if they were in no danger of destruction so will those who will continue to buy into, in a spiritual sense, Satan’s deception and sell it to each other up to the sounding of the seventh trumpet.
Again, the corrupt inhabitants of Sodom carried on eating and drinking, planting and building as if they were not going to face Gods indignation, so will those who will both in a physical and spiritual sense, eat, drink plant and build within Satan’s one world religious system till its destruction upon the true Christ return.

Luke 17:29 KJVS
“But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.”

Indeed, as it was for Sodom so will it be in the day of our Lord’s return when all flesh is destroyed. In that great and notable day of our Lord’s wrath after all flesh is destroyed, all that will be left for many is a mortal (liable to die) soul who will feel great shame because of their wickedness in worshipping Satan instead of the true Christ (Revelation Chapter 6 verses 14 through 17).

As it rained fire and brimstone in the days of Lot (Genesis Chapter 19) to bring upon Sodom and Gomora’s destruction, in Eziekiel Chapter 38 we see these same great hailstones of fire rain down on the Ezekiel Chapter 38 confederacy, headed by Gog which is Russia. When Gog is dispatched by Satan to go against the mountains of Israel which are those who will be one in Christ going into the seventh trumpet, those who will be dispatched against the mountains of Israel will physically and spiritually feel the indignation of our Lord upon His approach to earth. While this battle is being fought by our Lord, the battle of Armageddon will also be fought by our great and mighty savior upon His return. These battles of Hamon Gog and Armageddon are written about in Eziekiel Chapters 38 and 39 and Revelation Chapter 19 verses 17 through 21.

Those who will be one in Christ during that time will have remained on watch and will know the true Christ has returned. They will not desire their earthly garment because they will know that the flesh and those things of the flesh will be no more.  Those who will have refrained and those who will have come out of Satan’s confusion to remain on watch will be those who are not taken or no longer taken by Satan’s deception. They will be those who will remain in the field of work for our Lord up to the sounding of the seventh trumpet. 

This work throughout the remainder of the sixth trumpet will be done by the Holy Spirit to help bring down Satan’s defied kingdom, and this is the fire that our Lord will find still kindled which He spoke about in Luke Chapter 12.

Luke 12:49 KJVS
“I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?”

Our Lord Jesus Christ’s fire is the Holy Spirit which upon His death and resurrection was sent upon all who will believe upon Him, the Spirit of Truth. 
During the latter half of the five-month long hour of temptation a testimony which only the Holy Spirit can give will issue forth through all who will be delivered up to Satan as the antichrist during that dark time leading up to the seventh trumpet. Our Lord Jesus Christ will return at the last trumpet and find those who are in the field and didn’t turn back with the fire of the Holy Spirit kindled within them.

Christ continues in Luke Chapter 17.

Luke 17:32 KJVS
“Remember Lot’s wife.”

Jesus instructs His disciples here to remember Lots wife. In Genesis Chapter 19 we see that after the two angels told Lot, his daughters and his wife to flee from Sodom and our Heavenly Father’s wrath that will fall upon it, Lot’s wife turned back and became a pillar of salt. Lot’s wife turning into salt tells us to stay grinding at the mill and stay in the field of His work because what was the flesh and all the impure rudiments of the world which will eventually fall under Satan’s control will be destroyed. 

Luke 17:33 KJVS
“Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.”

At the seventh trumpet many who will be without spiritual life they lost won’t have anything left of their lives they held so dear. While many at that time will seek death and shall not find it because of great shame as it is written in Revelation Chapter 9 verse 6, those who stayed in the field will go forth into the Lords Day with their spiritual lives preserved. For Christ name sake , Christ also mentions this earlier in Luke Chapter 9.

Luke 9:23-26 KJVS
“And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. [24] For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it. [25] For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away? [26] For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father’s, and of the holy angels.”

Those who will remain on watch will have taken up their crosses and refrain from being taken, also those who will have escaped from being taken, will take up their crosses also and will preserve their lives unto a life eternal.

Luke 17:34-36 KJVS
“I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. [35] Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left. [36] Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.”

Those who will think they are preserving their spiritual lives by worshipping who they think is the true Christ during the sixth trumpet will have left the mill, thus leaving their Heavenly Fathers Truth, and they will have been taken and remained out of the field of our Lords work which our Heavenly Father commanded us to stay in.

Don’t turn back, you are in the field of our Heavenly Fathers work; keep moving forward in our Lords Truth and watch! 

Last verse in Luke Chapter 17.

Luke 17:37 KJVS
“And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.”

Our Lord Jesus Christ concludes with telling His disciples where He will return. Wherever the body which should say carcass, tither will the eagles, which correctly translated should say vultures, be gathered together. 

At the seventh trumpet those who have climbed upon the Ark, so to speak, and stayed in the field will know when the true Christ returns. However, those who are still found eating, drinking and marrying into Satan’s deception while building and planting within it will be caught by surprise when their flesh is no longer there and the spiritual life, they thought they had with the spurious messiah never existed. Remember Lots wife and remember in this specific teaching of Christ, just like the days of Noah and Lot, so shall it be also in the day of our Lord when the seventh angel sounds. 

Noah, Lot; about our Lord’s return.

The end. 

The Oracle of David


2 Samuel 23:1 KJVS
“Now these be the last words of David. David the son of Jesse said, and the man who was raised up on high, the anointed of the God of Jacob, and the sweet psalmist of Israel, said,”

These last words of David are an oracle as we can see in Bullinger’s notes on verse 23 on page 441 in your Companions Bible. This revelation given by our Heavenly Father was spoken by David who was a Prophet.


As David was anointed by God, so are the rest of God’s election in this second world age.

Romans 11:2-5 KJVS
“God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying, [3] Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life. [4] But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal. [5] Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.”

Even at Paul’s time there was a remnant from the 7000 elect here on earth, so it is at this time, and it will be during the five-month long hour of temptation.

During the Five Month Long Hour of Temptation, the final remnant from the 7000 elect will make up the Church of Philadelphia.


The final remnant are given the Key of Knowledge. This Key of David, which Jesus Christ has, is given to the Church of Philadelphia, and this Key unlocks the Door which is Jesus Christ (John Chapter 10 verses 7 through 9.) Part of the Knowledge they have is knowing who the Kenites are which are Satans natural branches, in other words, the sons of wickedness.

Revelation 3:7-11 KJVS
“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. [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. [11] Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.”

The Church of Philadelphia will keep the Key of Knowledge which is the Key of David, and they will hold fast in that Knowledge by keeping watch and waiting until the true Christ returns at the Seventh Trumpet.

These are the thrones.

Revelation 20:4 KJVS
“And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.”

They who will sit upon these thrones are all who will be part of the Millennial Priesthood upon our Lord Jesus Christ’s return.
The 232 final remnant which will be part of the Millennial Priesthood will live and reign inside the Millennial Temple along with the rest of the 7000 Zadok that will come with Christ when He returns. Keeping in mind their will be others who will also live and reign with Christ for 1000 years in the Millenial Priesthood such as the 144,000 predestined servants, and many others who were not predestined but will hearken to the call from the Holy Spirit to come out of Satan’s deception before the seventh trumpet sounds.

Let’s continue to look at Davids last oracle written in 2nd Samuel Chapter 23.

2 Samuel 23:2-3 KJVS
“The Spirit of the Lord spake by me, and his word was in my tongue. [3] The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spake to me, He that ruleth over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God.”

It will be during the latter half of the five-month long hour of temptation, during the Sixth Trumpet, when the church of Philadelphia, who will hold and maintain that Key of Knowlege, will be delivered up to Satan first for a testimony which only the Holy Spirit can give. The Holy Spirit outside of the Knowlege they will hold will be in their tongue thus beginning a chain reaction of testimony that will pull the 144,000 and many others out of Satan’s temptation before the Seventh Trumpet sounds.

This oracle from the King who is just and who was the Word from the beginning has gone through an anointed king who prophesied about the kings and priest that will live and reign with Christ for 1000 years during the Millennium. Daniel the Prophet also beheld this.

Daniel 7:9 KJVS
“I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire.”

After Satan’s one world system gets destroyed along with His deception at the seventh trumpet, our Lord Jesus Christ, THE just ruler will use those who will make up the Millennial Priesthood to do His bidding throughout the Lords Day. Our Lord Jesus Christ’s Millennial Priesthood will sit upon thrones being made kings and priest as it says in Revelation Chapter 1 verse 6 and will judge those who are cast into outer darkness accordingly. They will at that time be used by our Lord to distribute our Lords Millennial correction to those who find themselves in the outer darkness during the Seventh Trumpet.

This oracle is about our Lords anointed. Anointed means consecrated, and obviously we know that our Lord Jesus Christ is THE anointed one, and we know that David who was one of Gods elect and who was an earthly king was anointed, and so are the rest of our Heavenly Fathers 7000 elect who were the first fruits of the first world age, and the 144,000 who are the first fruits of this second world age as you can see written in Revelation Chapter 14. Anointed, predestined, set aside for a Heavenly purpose.


All together the with the 7000 Zadok they will live, and reign with Christ who is the King of Kings, and Lord of Lords for 1000 years which is the Day of the Lord, the seventh trumpet. The 7000 brethren who are the Zadok will be united back together to the Millinial Temple in full at the Seventh Trumpet, to keep Christ charge with the Word of God in their tongue, while the 144,000 along with whomsoever with free will that will also take part in the first resursction will be gathered to the gates of the Temple to serve.



2 Samuel 23:4 KJVS
“And he shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun riseth, even a morning without clouds; as the tender grass springing out of the earth by clear shining after rain.”

Our Lord Jesus Christ will be a light of the morning when Satan’s deceptive darkness is destroyed by our Lords light, and He will issue His light to those in outer darkness through His Millennial Priesthood that will make up one Candlestick in the Millenium.

After the darkness and obscurity of Satan gets destroyed, and the seventy evenings of Satan’s captivity are over, Satan who is the Dragon will be bound for 1000 years while the true light of Christ from the Millennial Temple shines through those who He will use without any interference.


Revelation 20:1-2 KJVS
“And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. [2] And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,

Moving on,

2 Samuel 23:5 KJVS
“Although my house be not so with God; yet he hath made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things, and sure: for this is all my salvation, and all my desire, although he make it not to grow.”

An everlasting covenant was made with David back in Chapter 7 in 2nd Samuel, let’s have a look

2 Samuel 7:10-13 KJVS
“Moreover I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and move no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as beforetime, [11] And as since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel, and have caused thee to rest from all thine enemies. Also the Lord telleth thee that he will make thee an house. [12] And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom. [13] He shall build an house for my name, and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever.”


Our Lord Jesus Christ who was the promised Seed of Abraham through David will return at the seventh trumpet, and He is that King that will establish this House forever. We see this prophesied in Zechariah Chapter 1.


Zechariah 1:13-17 KJVS
“And the Lord answered the angel that talked with me with good words and comfortable words. [14] So the angel that communed with me said unto me, Cry thou, saying, Thus saith the Lord of hosts; I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy. [15] And I am very sore displeased with the heathen that are at ease: for I was but a little displeased, and they helped forward the affliction. [16] Therefore thus saith the Lord ; I am returned to Jerusalem with mercies: my house shall be built in it, saith the Lord of hosts, and a line shall be stretched forth upon Jerusalem. [17] Cry yet, saying, Thus saith the Lord of hosts; My cities through prosperity shall yet be spread abroad; and the Lord shall yet comfort Zion, and shall yet choose Jerusalem.”


The House of the Lord will be built during the Millennium.
The true spiritual house cannot be built during this final generation age because two houses will ultimately join together at the Sixth Trumpet.


Isaiah 5:8-9 KJVS “Woe unto them that join house to house, that lay field to field, till there be no place, that they may be placed alone in the midst of the earth! [9] In mine ears said the Lord of hosts, Of a truth many houses shall be desolate, even great and fair, without inhabitant.”


The House of Israel will join to the House of Rechab so to speak at the sixth trumpet.


Jeremiah 35:5-8 KJVS
“And I set before the sons of the house of the Rechabites pots full of wine, and cups, and I said unto them, Drink ye wine. [6] But they said, We will drink no wine: for Jonadab the son of Rechab our father commanded us, saying, Ye shall drink no wine, neither ye, nor your sons for ever: [7] Neither shall ye build house, nor sow seed, nor plant vineyard, nor have any : but all your days ye shall dwell in tents; that ye may live many days in the land where ye be strangers. [8] Thus have we obeyed the voice of Jonadab the son of Rechab our father in all that he hath charged us, to drink no wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons, nor our daughters;”


The house of Rechab are the Kenites back in the book of Jeremiah, and they will not drink the Wine of Everlasting Life, which is Jesus Christ’s communion.

This house still exists today and will at the sixth trumpet. The House of Israel will unfortunately become one with that house by joining themselves with the Nakar who the strange woman are, in other words the Kenites, thus making them one in the same.

Those who were a part of the House of Israel will become a Harlot when the sixth angel sounds.

This Harlot will take the false communion to antichrist, joining themselves to the Kenites in worshiping their father (Satan,) at the sixth trumpet.

We see this Harlot spoken about here in Revelation Chapter 17.

Revelation 17:1-5 KJVS
“And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: [2] With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. [3] So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. [4] And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: [5] And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.”


Two houses will join together and will partake in a false communion, and they all will be known as the sons of wickedness which stands for Belial during the sixth trumpet. The Kenites rock will become the deceived Christians rock who is Satan.
They at that time will forsake Jesus Christ, and cease being Israel

Deuteronomy 32:18 KJVS
“Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee.”

We can see at the seventh trumpet, those who will live and reign with Christ are the Christ’s Priesthood and they will not be thrusted away from Christ.


Revelation 20:4 KJVS
And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.”


However, continuing in David’s oracle in 2nd Samuel Chapter 23, we see the sons of Belial, which are those who will be found worshipping Satan when the true Christ returns, will be thrust away into outer darkness.


2 Samuel 23:6 KJVS
“But the sons of Belial shall be all of them as thorns thrust away, because they cannot be taken with hands:”


Those who will remain in the defiled house of Satan when it falls , will be thrust away from Our Lord Jesus Christ upon His return,

Matthew 7:21-23 KJVS
“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. [22] Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? [23] And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.”


They will be found guilty of serving the false rock who is Satan because they believed they were serving the true Rock (Christ) that they forgot.

One more verse in 2nd Samuel Chapter 23.

2 Samuel 23:7 KJVS
“But the man that shall touch them must be fenced with iron and the staff of a spear; and they shall be utterly burned with fire in the same place.:”


Only Jesus Christ can send His angels that return with Him, to remove them from in front of the temple out of His sight. At that time these bad figs which are tares will be gathered and thrust into outer darkness, at the seventh trumpet. We can see Christ speak about this removal in the parable of the wheat and tares in Matthew Chapter 13


Matthew 13:38-42 KJVS
“The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one ; [39] The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. [40] As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. [41] The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; [42] And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.”


Throughout the Lords Day, these bad figs which will be all who were found in Satan’s deception upon the Lord’s return can change their direction from going into the Lake of Fire to joining the true House of God at the end of the Millennium. Only if they absorb Christ Millennial discipline through His Priesthood throughout the Lords Day.


Like David was a king under the King of Kings, so will be the Millennial Priesthood who will live and reign with Christ 1000 years in the Millennium. They will take part in building the true House of our Heavenly Father to go into eternity.

You cannot remove the thorns of this world, for the tares and the wheat must grow together until the Harvest. All things must come to pass.

However, our Heavenly Father has given us a way to escape the thorns which are the Kenites and a way to know who and what this lineage is, and what the ultimate goal of their father is. Through the last words of David which is an oracle spoken by our Heavenly Father, we see that our Lord has given us a Key of Knowledge to understand how not to become one with their house.


The Key of David can only open the Door, and only Jesus Christ holds that Key. Jesus Christ is the Key, He is the Door, and it is the only Door to our Heavenly Fathers House.

Make sure you have the right Key to enter through the correct Door, to the right House, amen?

This has been David’s oracle.


The End.

Observation

Observation 

Luke 17:20-21 KJVS
“And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: [21] Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.”

Here in verse 22 observation means “hostile watching” and the Pharisees who were from that vile lineage of Cain could not see that the Kingdom of God, for a better translation, was in the midst of them. Jesus Christ, who was the foretold Messiah, was among them.

Luke 17:22 KJVS
“And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it.”

Here in verse 22, Jesus turned from the Pharisees and spoke to His disciples, and it wouldn’t be long from this point that our Lord Jesus Christ would be taken, delivered up to the cross and crucified, thus being rejected by men. After Christ died, resurrected, and ascended back to our Heavenly Father (Daniel Chapter 7:13) the disciples which became apostles would no longer see Christ physically walking in the flesh, but will have Him through the Holy Spirit (John Chapter 14) and the Gospel they spread.

Luke 17:23 KJVS
“And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them.”

I believe Jesus was speaking this warning to His disciples (those who follow Him) in a prophetical sense. It will be in the middle of the five-month long hour of temptation at the Woe of the Sixth Trumpet when Satan will appear in Jerusalem as the false messiah. When Satan makes his appearance as the false Christ those who will remain on watch and remain followers of Him will know not to follow Satan, while those who failed to keep watch fall right into his temptation.

Luke 17:24 KJVS
“For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.”

It will be at the end of the five-month long hour of temptation at the sounding of the Seventh Trumpet, when the true Christ returns thus fulfilling the second advent. It will be at the point of His return when those who failed to keep watch and failed to escape Satan’s deception will wish the mountains and rocks would fall upon them because of great shame.  We see this written in Revelation Chapter 6.

Revelation 6:14-17 KJVS
“And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. [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?”

Included among them who will wail at that time will be that vile lineage which are from those Kenites who pierced our Lord and Savior during His time, and we see this written about in Revelation Chapter 1.

Revelation 1:7 KJVS
[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.

Jesus Christ continues in Luke Chapter 17 

Luke 17:25 KJVS
“But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation.”

In order for the second advent can take place the first advent which is our Lords arrival and ascension had to be fulfilled. The Pharisees who were for the most part Kenites back in Christ’s time and eventually many others rejected our Lord Jesus Christ. Instead of being accepted He was persecuted, scourged and hung on a cross. He was hung on a cross so whomsoever will, including those who and will reject Him can have an opportunity to enter into His Kingdom upon believing in Him.

Now fast forwarding to the middle of the five-month long hour of temptation at the Woe of the Sixth Trumpet, we see in our Heavenly Fathers Word that most of Christianity will unequally yoke themselves to Satans natural seed who are Kenites. They will yoke themselves with this vile seed by also worshipping their father Satan thinking he is the Lord Jesus Christ return.

Along with the Kenites, who are from the lineage of vipers back in Christ’s time, the majority of Christians who will cease to be Christian’s at that time will say ” See here or see there and will go after and follow Satan as the antichrist. This will also be a flat-out rejection of our Lord and Saviour during that dark span of time.

We see our Lord Jesus Christ also give us this warning not to go after them in Matthew Chapter 24.

Matthew 24:23-26 KJVS
“Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. [24] For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. [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.”

Even at this time there are many Christians that teach falsely because of the lack of understanding all seven seals which gives us the correct chronological order of events that leads us up to our Lord and Saviors return.

Again, it will be in the middle of the five-month long hour of temptation at the sounding of the sixth trumpet when Satan will appear as the false messiah in Jerusalem claiming to be what he is not (2nd Thessalonians Chapter 2).

Haven’t you read?

It will be in the middle of that hour which is the span of five-months that most of the world which will include the majority of Christians will fail to realize that who is in front of them is Satan disguised as Jesus Christ. All but those who will have spiritual eyes to see, will be fooled by Satans temptation.

Let’s go one more verse in Matthew Chapter 24.

Matthew 24:27 KJVS
“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.”

This of course brings us back to Luke Chapter 17 where Jesus Christ continued speaking of His return, when His Kingdom will come.

Having already covered verse 24 and 25 of Luke Chapter 17 in this study, let’s approach these verses again for more emphasis on our Lords return. 

Luke 17:24 KJVS
“For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.”

Before the second advent which is our Lord’s return can transpire, the first advent which is our Lords arrival had to come to pass. Our Lord Jesus Christ had to be born of woman and had to suffer many things: He being the Chief Cornerstone had to be rejected (Psalm Chapter 118 verse 22-23, and Matthew Chapter 21 verses 42-43) so He as the unblemished Lamb could be crucified for all of our transgressions.

Our Lord Jesus Christ was rejected of that generation which points to the brood of vipers that were Pharisees, and we might add, all that were influenced by them in Judaea. Even in a prophetical sense the same lineage of vipers plus all that will yoke themselves with them at the sixth trumpet will reject the true Christ by directing their spiritually blind eyes towards Jerusalem and will give their reverence to Satan. 

The natural seed of Satan will most likely believe the kingdom of their father has arrived while the third of the world who were Christians will believe the kingdom of God has returned. Either way when they say, ” Lo here is Christ or there!” Believe it not. Or when they say, ” He is in the desert; Go not forth” even if they say He is in the privy chambers believe it not!”

For that day, which is the day of our Lord, which is again the second advent, will not come ” Except there come a falling away first as Paul was used by our Lord to point out in 2nd Thessalonians Chapter 2.

2 Thessalonians 2:1-4 KJVS
“Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, [2] That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. [3] Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; [4] Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.”

Indeed, that day of our Lords return will not happen until there be a falling away first. The Pharisees back in Jesus Christs time couldn’t see who was in the midst of them, and the Kenites today don’t believe and cannot see the signs that are given in our Heavenly Fathers Word; the seals of truth that tells us of our Lords second coming. They unlike you are waiting for their father’s vile kingdom which is Satan’s appearance as antichrist to come.

You unlike them should remain on the housetop, take heed and keep watch as our Lord Jesus Christ instructed in Mark Chapter 13.

Mark 13:34-37 KJVS
“”For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch. [35] Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning: [36] Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. [37] And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.””

Watch and observe with spiritual eyes that can see, while those observing according to the flesh cannot.

This has been Observation. 

The end. 

Earth Part One


Contention


In the First World Age, Satan drew a third part of Stars of Heaven away from our Heavenly Father in a rebellion against Him, and because of that rebellion against our Heavenly Father, we all are born of woman, brought through this second World Age, the Age of Salvation.


Revelation 12:3-4 KJVS
“And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. [4] And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.”


We all have to be born of women in this World Age (John Chapter 3 verses 5 and 6,) in the flesh.

This Second World Age is the Age of Salvation and being born again in this flesh, many will have to make their minds up if they will Love our Heavenly Father, or if they will ultimately be cast into the Lake of fire at the end of the Millennium (Lords Day).


This Study I want to look at what the Earth is.


Our flesh bodies are made up out of the earth, for us to understand this we will go to the book of 1st Corinthians.


1 Corinthians 15:41-49 KJVS
“There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory. [42] So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: [43] It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory:it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: [44] It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. [45] And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. [46] Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. [47] The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven. [48] As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. [49] And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.”


We have two bodies; the flesh body is what we see when we look at each other, and we have another body that is unseen, the Spiritual Body within us.

Wells


Wells have been dug in many of us who are Gods servants. These Wells have been dug into our earthen bodies by fellow Servants who were used to write the Law, Prophets, Gospels, and the Epistles.

These Servants were used to bring us the Word of God. Jesus Christ is the Well that is within us, and He is the Living Water. The Living Water that is drawn out from within us to water the earth.

The Well is Deep inside our earthen vessels.


2 Corinthians 4:6-7 KJVS
“For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. [7] But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.”


Some of the 7000 Elect who have passed on to be with our Heavenly Father in Heaven were used to write the Bible, and a lot of these stories and experiences are used to penetrate our earthly (Carnal) understanding, and to bring us peace.


Romans 8:5-8 KJVS
“For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. [6] For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. [7] Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. [8] So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.”


In this chapter of the book of John, we can see the woman from Samaria was thinking more of a Well in a physical sense, then spiritual sense.


John 4:12-14 KJVS
“Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle? [13] Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: [14] But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.”

The Living Water is in you


The Living Water that is within you is Jesus Christ, and He is also the Well that is in you to bring you understanding. He draws the water out of you to water the earth (People.)


Digging into the Earth.

Let’s go back into the book of Genesis to look at are fellow Laborers.


Genesis 26:12-13 KJVS
“Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the Lord blessed him. [13] And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great:”


Genesis 26:13-14 KJVS
“And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great: [14] For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him.”


The Philistines are known as migratory ones, and I believe them to be Kenites. The Kenites always envied success (earthly gain,) but here in Genesis 26 we can understand this from a deeper spiritual level.

Genesis 26:15 KJVS “For all the wells which his father’s servants had digged in the days of Abraham his father the Philistines had stopped them, and filled them with earth.”

I feel here in Genesis 26 we are looking at the Four Carpenters verses the Four Horns from Zechariah Chapter 1 verses 18 through 21.)


Let’s look.


Zechariah 1:18-21 KJVS
“Then lifted I up mine eyes, and saw, and behold four horns. [19] And I said unto the angel that talked with me, What be these? And he answered me, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem. [20] And the Lord shewed me four carpenters. [21] Then said I, What come these to do? And he spake, saying, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, so that no man did lift up his head: but these are come to fray them, to cast out the horns of the Gentiles, which lifted up their horn over the land of Judah to scatter it.”


The Wells that Abraham’s servants have dug are a type for the Wells that have been dug in us throughout this Second World Age, especially during this final generation that started in 1948.

The Four Carpenters, which are The Law, prophets, Gospels, and Epistles, make up the Word of God who is Jesus Christ, and He is the Landmark that we need in our lives to contend with earthly understanding.


Proverbs 22:28 KJVS
“Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set.”

John Chapter 4 verse 13 and 14

In Genesis Chapter 26 Verse 15, the Philistines (Kenites) stopped the Wells and filled them up with earth. The Kenites will try to fill those Wells up today within you with Earthly understanding; using the Four Hidden Dynasties which are Education, Economy, Politics and Religion.

These Four Dynasties have been globalized since 1948 to fill the Earth with a buildup to ultimate deception when their father Satan Appears in Jerusalem as the Antichrist during 666.

Up to that point of 666, the Kenites have used and will use these Four Horns (Hidden Dynasties) to fill up Wells of truth.

Let’s continue with Genesis 26.

” Genesis 26 Verses 26 through 19: “And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us; for thou art much mightier than we. [17] And Isaac departed thence, and pitched his tent in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there. [18] And Isaac digged again the wells of water, which they had digged in the days of Abraham his father; for the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham: and he called their names after the names by which his father had called them. [19] And Isaac’s servants digged in the valley, and found there a well of springing water.”

Serving the Lord will always bring you success, and peace; and some people are threatened by that. Isaac moved on to another valley and it was called Gerar.

Lets look at the translation of Gerar in Hebrew. H1642

The Kenites want to drag you away from the Word of God, and they will cut, and chew your lives up using the Four hidden dynasties (Four Horns.)

In this valley where the Kenites lodge, which symbolizes this world, the Four Carpenters are digging Wells within many, and inside many of us is the Living Water.

The Living Water in us is Jesus Christ, and He is the Way and the Truth which brings us Eternal Life (John 14 :6)


Moving on


Genesis 26:20-21 KJVS
“And the herdmen of Gerar did strive with Isaac’s herdmen, saying, The water is ours: and he called the name of the well Esek; because they strove with him. [21] And they digged another well, and strove for that also: and he called the name of it Sitnah.”


The Kenites will try to muddy up that water by pouring earth into the Wells if you let them. The Four Horns scatter the herd (People), however the Four Carpenters will fray and cast the Four Horns away from the people, if the people will choose to stay within the Word of God, (In Christ.)


Either the Four Horns (Hidden Dynasties) are scattering the flocks, or the Four Carpenters (The Word) are herding the flocks into the fold that is truth, and not many people take the straight gate these days. (Matthew Chapter 7 verses 13 and 14.)


Throughout this final Fig Tree Generation which I believe started in 1948, the Four Hidden dynasties of Satan are: Education, Economy, Politics and Religion.


These Four Hidden Dynasties (Four Horns) of Satan, has strove with the Truth of God’s Word, and will continue all the way up to point that our earthen bodies are done away with, at the Seventh Trump.

False Herdsmen are the Four Horns that Scatter.


Moving on.


Genesis 26:21-25 KJVS
“And they digged another well, and strove for that also: and he called the name of it Sitnah. [22] And he removed from thence, and digged another well; and for that they strove not: and he called the name of it Rehoboth; and he said, For now the Lord hath made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land. [23] And he went up from thence to Beer-sheba. [24] And the Lord appeared unto him the same night, and said, I am the God of Abraham thy father: fear not, for I am with thee, and will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham’s sake. [25] And he builded an altar there, and called upon the name of the Lord, and pitched his tent there: and there Isaac’s servants digged a well.”


Four Wells were dug in that earth, and even today the Four Carpenters can be dug into you: Law, Prophets, Gospels and Epistles.
Jesus Christ is the Word of God(John Chapter 1 verses 1 through 14,) and He represents all four Wells that are within you because He is the Well, and with the Word of God that is inside you , you indeed are very blessed.


To be continued.

Servants of Our Lord will be used to Bring in the Flock.
