I Thessalonians; Verses 4:13-5:1-11; False Rapture/Pre Trib Rapture Theory

A little longer study here, All the way straight through the subject from I Thessalonians 4:13-18. If you have questions about the rapture/pre trib rapture, the lack there of that is, you want to read this. This is the rapture/false rapture theory lie laid to rest, it's death. Christ never taught it, no apostle ever taught it. PERIOD.

Thank you for taking a look †

(I Thessalonians 4:13-5:1-11) "But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.

(Brethren = Christian brothers and sisters. Asleep = The physically dead in Christ believers up until the time Christ comes back here. Those who have no hope? Unbelievers. Why? They do not believe in the blessed hope, the coming resurrection. If you don't believe in that you cannot be a Christian).

14For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

(Here you have it. Christ brings them with Him. As we will see He comes with clouds, that is the cloud of witnesses. Clouds in the good sense also represent purity, and all encompassing. Just as the wicked surround the Children of Israel with their armies, Christ comes back with His army and He is coming to make war. It is ALL coming back on them. The wrecking ball is coming).

Reference (I wanted to make that point, but not get too far off here specifically on the false rapture/pre trib rapture theory).

(Ezekiel 38:9) "Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee."

(The point is what they think they have will be taken away. Exactly what they brought comes on them).

Where are the physically dead in Christ now? A; The good side of the gulf. Unbelievers? A: The bad side of the gulf. 

To I Thessalonians 4:15,

15For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

(What does it? His Word. He speaks and so it is. Prevent from the Greek means precede. Why can't we be resurrected before them? A: They are there we are here on earth. So, in order for Christ to bring them they have to go first. Simple enough).

16For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

(The midnight cry. Just like in Egypt at the plague of darkness, and the great cry in the land there; Exodus 12:29-30. Same here as the world is in darkness as Christ comes like a thief at midnight when they are in darkness. We will see that more as we come to the approaching verses. The word shout from the Greek means, to cry, cry out. What we have here is of course the 7th trumpet of Christ' one time coming. And here is my message to you who teach different. You are on your way to the lake of fire if you don't repent. It is time for you to learn respect for the Lord and His Word).

(Jeremiah 50:46) "At the noise of the taking of Babylon the earth is moved, and the cry is heard among the nations."

Please reference these targeted verse studies in the archive if needs be. We have one for each, I Thessalonians 4:16 and 4:17. A video in the archive as well.

Let's take at the foolish spiritual virgins, because that is them. This puts it all together in combination with the next chapter, 5. The subject goes all the way to I Thessalonians 5:11. Another thing they need to learn how to do. Read, study, stop being lazy, and fall asleep.

(Matthew 25:6-12) "And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.

(Like a thief in the night. They know by now they have believed satan as Christ/God)

7Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed (get ready basically) their lamps.

They arose, this is huge. Meaning awaken out of sleep. What are they wanting here? To take part in the first resurrection that is what. Point is they are fully aware of what they have done at this point. Get ready because the bridegroom has returned and they want in the marriage  and the marriage supper. But play-acting stage shows through the recital!

8And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.

(See, they are not virgins after all, the point is they think are virgins).

9But 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.

Why go buy and sell? Because they took the mark of the beast. Not to buy and sell in the one world system; Revelation 13:16-18. What does that say there verse 18 specific as well? Those who have wisdom will know and understand to count the number of the beast!

Look at this complete selfishness. Took part in the morally corrupt blood money, sold people out, now want in. Cheated and fornicated on their so-called (in their mind) husband and now act like nothing happened at all!

10And 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.

No place to call a home, no place of rest. They are left outside knocking. Should of been asking, searching and knocking now. Are you really gonna try and bang and barge down the door now?

11Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.

What about us they say?

12But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.

No way Jose. You see from II Thessalonians 2:3 they were given the slip of divorce because of the apostasy,  believing and worshiping satan as Christ/God. Christ wants nothing to do with them. How can you blame Him?

To I Thessalonians 4:17,

17Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

Now for those of us who are alive when Christ comes back. We are gathered back to Him with them! The cloud of witnesses! Air = means to blow not atmosphere. It is a figure of speech, a metaphor. What does every place in the Bible say? We inherit the earth,not the clouds! Christ is coming here for the Millennium and then eternity, that is to say heaven is on earth!

Let's break down literally the verse these false teachers never do. Their very own verse they cannot explain. One and done one verse hit wonders that cannot even get a rhythm going. That is to say God's Word flowing.

Are we really going to spend forever in the clouds with other believers who are in heaven now? suspended in the air? Seriously? I never read, "blessed are the meek; for they shall inherit the clouds."

You always need a second witness/cross reference in Scripture to confirm God's Word and not your own private interpretation. Let's get more than a double.

Old Testament:

(Daniel 7:13-14) "I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.

(There you have it).

14And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed."

(Remember Revelation 11:15, the 7th trumpet? Christ takes it back! Check it out).

New Testament. We could get so many more references.

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

(Here you have it. Don't they also call it a "secret rapture" lol. So, Christ comes with clouds, that is the believers for Him, His witnesses, and ALL eyes will see it. It just keeps adding up if you're a rapture/pre trib rapture teacher).

18Wherefore comfort one another with these words."

(I don't see much comforting going on. Why? You don't teach this verse by verse. Explaining where the dead are now and the coming first resurrection and our spiritual bodies being raised to life eternally. Are you kidding? Seriously? Christianity is all based on the birth, death, and resurrection. Let's get with it)!

Moving on to I Thessalonians 5. Paul is teaching from Matthew 25 so specific here, and of course rooted all over in the Old Testament.

(But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.

(The order in which it happens. You can see the weather and know what is coming, but cannot discern the times? This is the spiritual condition when Christ comes back from The previous 6 verses where the subject began)!

(Paul is saying, I no need to write you we been over it. But he does it anyway for everyone's benefit. So clear).

2For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.

Here you have it. He comes at midnight, not literal. But symbolic for the midnight cry and the world in darkness as the day of the Lord is a day of darkness, as He is the light. Now remember, He comes like lighting, the speed of light as He is the light. What else? The 7th thunders, the speed of sound! What happens to believers? I Corinthians 15:50-53 we are changed at the twinkling of an eye. A twinkling of an eye is the same as the speed of sound. 767mph. Amazing!

3For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

He comes then on a thief as they did not stay on watch. Woman with child? Because they spiritually fornicated with satan not staying spiritual virgins. Woe to those who give suck! They reproduced and then nursed satan's works along, not keeping the womb barren. No escape as they want the mountains to fall on them i.e. crawl under a rock as they have been caught cheating and naked. No garment of salvation on. This is why the warning to them to stay on watch in the last verse of the spiritual virgins. Let's see, (Matthew 25:13) "Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh."

Remember the garden of Eden as well. They wanted to hide and over themselves after physically fornicating with satan. They wanted to hide in the cool of the day,  Not taking the heat.

To I Thessalonians 5:4,

4But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.

(See the darkness is what they have caused. Why the world is in darkness on account of believing and then worshiping satan as Christ/God).

5Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

(You can see it. Them lamps/lighted within).

6Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.

(Here you have it. From Matthew 25:5 as well,

(Matthew 25:5) "While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept."

Lazy. Took it light. Want someone else to do it for them. No verse by verse teaching and studying. But one verse, one verse there they cannot explain themselves. Making up their own subject.

To I Thessalonians 5:7,

7For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.

That is spiritual drunkenness. Symbolic for staggering around. So, the picture will be they have cheated on their spouse, being drunk, and still want inside in the house. Notice we don't did not even see an apology in Matthew 25! They are entitled! They say give us. WOW!

8But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.

The Gospel Armor, as we are to stand against satan. They also falsely say it is not a matter of salvation. God's Word says it is exactly that. Who are you going to believe? Some man and His own words?

9For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

(Back to back verses. IT IS A MATTER OF SALVATION. No rapture/pre trub rapture and if you continue to hang onto it you can see you are being lead right to satan. I surely hope you can that. We are to be sealed with the truth).

10Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.

(Another biggie point. He did it for you, overcome. We are called to make a stand for Him. A stand against satan. What an honor that is suited up with that Gospel Armor).

Paul is going back to the subject from I Thessalonians 4:13.

The point is when He comes back at that point the physically dead and us who are alive shall be with Him forever!

So, I Thessalonians 4:13-18, we're given the actions in the positive for believers. Continuing on we're given the negative side in the conditions what it will be like and why when Christ comes back.

11Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do."

(Just as in I Thessalonians 4:18, comfort, comfort in building others up through this. Knowing and understanding).

Amen †

Mark 13; Verses 24-27; Christ' One Time Coming/No Rapture/Pre Tribulation Rapture

Thank you for taking a look!!!

(Mark 13:24-27) "But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,

So, we have seen nothing about a rapture/pre tribulation rapture. Christ one time second coming with the clouds here. That will make up the cloud of witness gathered back to Him, changed into spiritual breath of life bodies at the 7th trump. At the first resurrection. Now, the storms they brought, the storm comes on them in complete darkness as Christ comes at the speed of light, being the light (like lightning), then the thunders, and hail. Essentially, they did not want to pay attention to their spiritual condition/weather. They wanted sun, sunlight, moon, stars, etc. without Christ, worshiping His creation but not the creator.

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

(To sum it up shortly lights out for satan and his. Remember Revelation 19 we have that angel standing in the sun. Revelation 19:17-18).

26And then shall they see the Son of man coming in (word is with from the Greek) the clouds with great power and glory.
All eyes will see Him as He comes with the clouds. Great glory yes, Shekinah Glory as we have recently went though in Revelation 10. Let's take a look at coming with clouds:

(Revelation 1:7) "Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen."

(I Thessalonians 4:17) "Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. "

(Daniel 7:13) "I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him."

(How amazing is this? God gives us vivid dreams on what is to come. Dream and visions at night, not supposed to be nightmares. Vividly as Christ comes like a thief in the night, symbolic for darkness).

Easy peasy lemon squeezy. Moving on to verse 27,

27And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven."

(Winds of time. We use it as a figure of speech. Winds are always symbolic for time. This is also in Ezekiel 37 and Revelation 7. The 144,000 specific there. As they are sealed before God's wrath can take place. They are sealed between 6 and 7 of each. That is 6th to 7th seal, 6th to 7th trumpet, and 6th to 7th vial. As we are coming to a close of the flesh age here and changed into spiritual bodies. All peoples are changed into spiritual bodies. Christians? Resurrected to spiritual breath of life bodies. Unbelievers? Go through the Millennium with mortal souls as in I Corinthians 15:50-53, meaning liable to die from the Greek. Why? Aren't they just thrown into the lake of fire then? A: NO. The second resurrection is after the Millennium. Then judged and thrown into the lake of fire, which is the second death. Revelation 20. We won't go there please take a look. First death there = physical bodies. second death = the soul along with the spirit).

Okay, let's take a look at Revelation 7,

(Revelation 7:1-3) "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.
(What we have here is the winds (time) being stopped not being unleashed until they are sealed so there is no damage done from the predicted storm of God's wrath that awaits).

Is time literally stopped? No. For us to understand. Because the seals are time periods within. Cause and effect. From beginning to end. The forest for the tree view. Why you see them in Heaven at the end of the 7th seal. Because the Great tribulation is over and Christ has came back. Refer to seal 6. Beginning action satan comes. End action Christ coming back. Easy peasy lemon squeezie. That is what the seals are. The trumpets and vials more detailed. We go inside the forest, if you will. The trees for the forest.

2And 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,

(Earth and sea = The earth is the beast that satan rises with causing the sea of Babylon).

3Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads."

(Trees added here. They are God's people. trees of righteousness. Because the earth, and the sea are the negative therefore they have to be).

In their foreheads that is the truth. As the opposite is to have the mark of the beast in a persons mind. The mark of the beast means being convinced then worshiping satan as Christ/God.

The beast part of the earth, different than the sea symbolically >>>

(Revelation 13:11) "And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon."

This of course, the one world system/new world order rising with satan claiming to be Christ/God i.e. like a lamb. Spake as a dragon = satan is the dragon claiming to be the savior of the world. Two horns = religion and financial. As he brings religion through claiming to be Christ/God, and financial through the one world currency. One thing to note is the political beast rises from among them, what is in them, the beast within. Here the beast separate as they are drawn by their own lusts. No one can blame God, no one can blame satan i.e. "satan made me do it." Only if they allowed it. It comes down to one simple thing as God's Word has said over and over. Does one love the world over the Lord? Does one love God's creation over Him, then people?

Ultimately getting satan as Christ/God being deceived if that is the case.

We'll leave it there. The Parable of the fig tee next. Christ said learn it (no options there), and we're going to dig deep.

Amen †

Revelation 1; Introduction to Revelation; For the End Times Churches

The very word Revelation means to uncover/unveil the truth. If you are a teacher and not teaching it you're in for a world of hurt coming soon when Christ comes back as you have worshiped satan claiming to be Christ/God. Because you did not know what is to come. Thank you for taking a look †


(Revelation 1:1-3) "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:

(First of all the Revelation of who? Jesus Christ straight from Him. His servants shortly come to pass? Why, how can that be? In the next post we will see John is taken to the Millennium (the Lord's Day) to give us the end-times events. That is just simple logic. To get the future events you have to go there to get them).


2Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.


(Meaning the witness of Christ here. John was there and He was a converted unbelieving sinner).


3Blessed 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."


(Happy is he that reads the book of Revelation, studies and takes heed in the end-times. People want happiness? It begins at knowing and understanding the book of Revelation in these perilous times. Keep those things? Guard them, protect them. Hold them close).


Amen †

Revelation 1; Verses 4-7; Christ' One Time Coming for the Church; No Rapture/Pre Trib Rapture

Picking up where we left off in the awesome book of Revelation. Revelation means to uncover/unveil the truth to us living in the end-times per Daniel 12:4 and 12:10 (being sealed with the truth in their foreheads i.e. the mind). Where the end-time events we're not to be seen, known, and understood until the final generation. Look me up. Thank you for taking a look †


(Revelation 1:4-7) "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;


(This is what the book of Revelation is about the 7 churches. Are they going to be raptured/pre trib raptured outta here? The answer is NO. You'll seven see more 3 verse away. We'll get to the 7 Spirits of God later in Revelation chapter 5. As they are revisited. We will also see when we get to the 7 churches in the next few chapters we will be dealing with the end-times and there content and not location. That will be noted many times).


Grace and peace what it's going to take in these times. Keep them Lighted Lamps burning. Never overlook that. The book of Revelation is supposed to give us peace of mind knowing and understanding what is to come. It's very purpose.


As the book of Revelation closes out:


22:16: "I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star."


To verse 5,


5And 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,


(Check this out. Prince of the king of the earth. Why is this? He is letting all know who is in charge as the book of Revelation is about the end-times events and the building of the on world system turned Babylon that moment when satan claims to be Christ/God. This is also why we're getting these other heightened emphasis on His love from the cross. Who is faithful, and who is not faithful = satan).


To verse 6,


6And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.


(What did He do for us? Kings and Priests. This will even seen more in Revelation 20:4-6 at the first resurrection then we head into the Millennium. God's elect are priests and judges in and during the Millennium laying down Christ' law and teaching discipline. Check it out won't you)?


To verse 7,


7Behold, 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."


(There goes that secret rapture again. He comes with clouds as written up and down the Bible including I Thessalonians 4:17 and Daniel 7:13 among many others such as Mark 13:24-27. This is the cloud of witnesses He brings with Him per I Thessalonians 4:13-16. The three verse before us who are alive when he comes back gathering back to Him and to be with Him. See it? I hope you do. One coming, one event with the clouds. All eyes will see Him. No secret and nothing hidden there. Christ DOES NOT operate in secret. Such as satan. Way it is, way it's going to be).


Amen †

Revelation 1; Verses 8-11; The Lord's Day (The Millennium)

Continuing on in the great book of Revelation. Revelation means to reveal/uncover/unveil these truths to us for the end-times. So, that is what we're going to do. This is an important study as we begin to set the frame work for the whole book in the first place.Thank you for taking a look †


(Revelation 1:8-11) "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.


(This is very important for us here in the Words Christ gives us. They will be unique in that He is making huge points to us-ward here in the end-times. Which is = Now and current, He is there. Which was = Christ is God in the flesh. Which is to come = The second coming/advent. Covering all. As Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever).


9I 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.


(John is our brother in Christ. A companion, right there with us. He has been there he knows what it's like. And way more than most of us. Because of that we look to it and see what they went through. Tribulation here is general trouble a Christian will go through in life. As we are not of this world, and people make life tough. Patience a key word here as well. It will be used many times. Including those who will be delivered up during the great tribulation. Do they physically die? No they keep that patience within and hold firm to Christ not bowing to satan. To be delivered up death means to be handed to satan, put right in front of him to be mortally inflicted. Meaning he wants your soul. Let's take a look:


These are the "some" delivered up directly to satan while he is claiming to be Christ to be a testimony against him, exposing him. No fear allowed here. They are coming locked and loaded with the Gospel Armour  Christ approves of 2 churches as we will continually see. The other 5 are lukewarm thus part of the famine as we went over yesterday from the first trumpet. Hail mixed with fire and blood. Meaning lukewarm on account of not being the blood of Christ. Not the right salvation.


(Luke 21:17-19) "And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake.


18But there shall not an hair of your head perish.


19In your patience possess ye your souls."


Okay, let's look at the some of Smyrna. The same "some" here from Luke 21.


Luke 21:16, "And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death."


They will overcome that second death here. Which means to be mortally inflicted and dead. The death of the soul. That is what it means.


(Revelation 2:10-11) "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.


11He 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."


Who says this? The Holy Spirit. Not following and learning this? It ain't the Holy Spirit).
Okay, we got that. What the whole book of Revelation is about. For us to be filled with this Word and to overcome


To verse 10,


10I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,


(The Lord's Day = The Millennium. The 1,000 years. As a day with the Lord is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as a day; II Peter 3:8; Psalm 90:4. I wish I could put Psalm 90:4 in this study but for the sake of length. Please take a look. So deep and talking about just these end-times. Obviously, John had to go to the future in the Holy Spirit to get the future events. You certainly don't go backwards or stay where you are).


11Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, 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."


(Two times in 4 verses. The first and the last. All inclusive. Christ is letting us know who is in charge for our sake. 7 churches = 7 always stands for 7 spiritual completeness. We have 7 of everything. 7 trumpets to 7 continents which is very important to note as we get further along. The Kingdom/dominions of the world. See the church was to be the light to all 7 continents = the world).


Okay, we'll conclude this study here. Amen

Revelation 1; Verses 12-16; Christ' Appearance Before the Churches

Continuing on in the amazing book of Revelation. Revelation means to uncover/unveil/reveal, the end-times events for us. To be sealed and filled with the truth. Now is the time. Now is the time the details become more clear. So, let's stick with it. Exactly what THE LORD wants us to do. Thank you for taking a look †


(Revelation 1:12-16) "And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;


(The candlesticks are of course the Churches. Exactly, whole the book of Revelation is to).

(Revelation 1:20) "The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches."


(Notice the right hand here. Always symbolic for power and doing right in the Bible).


13And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.

This is how we're to look at Christ.


(Right there in the middle of them. Showing us where it flows from and we're able to meet in the middle as well, according to Christ' Words. That garment of course is the garment of salvation and vengeance per Isaiah 59:17. Golden girdle for truth and righteousness. Faithfulness from the very loins, the fruit of his loins, spiritually speaking here).

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


White = purity. Head and hairs = the mind. Pure conscience. This is important, why? Eyes flame with fire = righteous indignation. Important because your psycho babblers who call themselves Christians are signing Christ and righteous indignation up for anger management. I suppose they are pure and He is not?


15And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.


(As if they have. He was tested. Wherever He walks He is bringing the fire, God is a consuming fire. The Holy Spirit. But here, the sound of many waters. The waters for cool, calm, and collective, soothing. Many waters also important because God is showing Babylon the truth here. As the waters are the people where Babylon sits in the negative. For every positive there is a negative. Revelation 17:15).


16And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength."


(Right hand of power once again. He is on control of the 7 angels. Remember, 7 always stand for spiritual completeness. His countenance as the sun. Bright, energy, solar, full of life. The two-edged sword of course because He is the Word of God that expose all darkness because HE is the light. You are going to want a suntan here. To be covered with that strength as well.

Revelation 1; Verses 17-20; Seven Stars; Seven Candlesticks Explained

Finishing up the awesome chapter of Revelation 1. Revelation means to reveal/uncover/unveil ALL truth to us. Nothing hidden here. Thank you for taking a look †


(Revelation 1:17-20) "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:


(John faints here. This is huge as Christ is making the point of He picks us up off the ground with that right hand of power. This is huge in that God shows us He does not want us to faint in fear as in scared and we're dead people walking. Because what John is about to see and write for us is a call to stand for Christ. Notice many times in the end-times Christ tells us were not to faint as well. Like running out of energy falling to the ground and cannot get back up).

18I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.


This is huge in combination with the previous verse. Who holds the keys really in finality? In control of all things? Absolutely not satan! Christ holds the keys, This is why we do not fear. He is in control. Exactly what Christ is showing us. We hold the choice in which door we will take. The amazing thing about Christ holding the keys as well, we have the choice but when you give it over to Him, He is the one doing the driving in that sense. Guess what? HE does own the road


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


(Here you have it. Write them down for all. To be studied and learned for future generations down to the end-times generation here).


20The 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."


(There is no guess work in Revelation. It usually interprets itself. Where it does not we look at the spiritual meaning in the characteristic of the symbols used. For example, when the word blood is used it is talking about the blood of Christ in the positive sense. In the negative sense for satan and it not being the blood of Christ always with negative implications in that verse. So keep that in mind no matter the symbol(s) used). Every symbol used will be in OT or the Gospels. All throughout Scripture. Very key to look at the weather events He gives us as the spiritual conditions, or you will never understand the book of Revelation. The signs of the times).


Why does God use symbols? To give us the characteristics to give us more that can be written in words. Not only doing that relates to words it gives us the action(s) as well. Where there can be no mistake. You are getting a two for one if you will. Kind of like a, "but one get one free." I really want to stress the importance why God uses symbols. Not for confusion, but ALL for our benefit. The simplicity but yet depth of Him and His Word(s). That is an amazing and awing thing right there.

Matthew 5; Verses 14-16; Light of the World

The awesome chapter of Matthew 5. Thank you for taking a look †

(Matthew 5:14-16) "Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

(Individually, we're the light in the candlesticks. Being responsible through Christ for keeping the World lit).

(The only bright side is Christ and His people in this World of darkness. True Christians cannot be hidden. You will know it, they should stand out--standing tall as they will when Christ comes back as well).

15Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.

Candlestick = The Church or Churches. Light = Each individual within. Seen in Revelation 1 as well.

(Hiding the light "playing church", that would be a pretty selfish thing to do. Kind of like having someone in your house reading the Bible under a lamp, but telling them to go sit in that dark basement alone like sentencing them to darkness for life! No one does that, so why with the Gospel that gives eternal life? There is no such thing as a "closet Christian." No we want to be at the place when darkness flees from us. The darkness cannot comprehend the light).

Therefore, we conclude being a "Sunday Christian" is a very selfish thing to be.

Kind of like having two pairs of night vision goggles in pitch black darkness (the World), and not sharing.  We would not go into physical battle with them not sharing and equipped setting them up for failure and impending death.

16Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works (production for the Kingdom of God), and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

(Father gets the credit. No one can give themselves the light within--the Holy Spirit. Don't sell out. We're to be consistent day in and day out. Not letting that light/lamp go out even in the daytime. But a consistent flow of oil. When the 2 witnesses show up Christians will get a consistent double flow as well. Per Zechariah 4 and Revelation 11. And which two churches does Christ approve of with there lamps lighted? Smyrna and Philadelphia. Revelation 2:8-11; Revelation 3:7-13. I'd be checking it out if I said Christ was my savior).

And Finally,

(Luke 12:35-37) 35"Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;

36And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.

37Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them."


One second coming of Christ. We're not to be as in the trumpets, and trumpet 3 specific to let our lamps go out (the are the foolish virgins: Matthew 25). The first thing that sets in is bitterness towards God, then people.  Those who lamps go out of course call themselves Christians still. Which only adds to the deception of the false Gospel preached and taught to many. Many would not even know the first thing about the Gospel Armor. Why we put it on, for what, etc. So let's turn that around, and turn it around on satan. Stand up (girding ourselves) and be can-do, keeping those lamps lighted.


We learn from the parable of the sower of the utmost importance of learning the Gospel correctly from the get-go. If not, they coming out worse than before they heard the Gospel. It is their choice.


(Revelation 8:10-11) "And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;
(The sea of course is the people always in Revelation. The rivers and fountains are the source, what they take in i.e. drink from. In this sense as Christians we certainly do not want to see the waters polluted. Learning the Gospel correctly begins why we need to be saved and the savior in the first place. Galatians 3:23-25 is a good place to take a look. Matter of fact please check the archive on all of Galatians 3 if needs be. Living by faith, and what it means to live by faith. Romans 8 great in parallel and how it's carrioud out living by and through the Holy Spirit).


11And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter."


(Bitter of course towards God then people. And the decpetion increases because it's not like they don't call themselves Christians anymore, they certainly do. But their hearts are very hardened. Walls up that cannot be penetrated when it comes to the Lord and His Word, then of course next people. As we learn our relationship through the Lord first, then people and how to treat people. The Gospel is good will for people towards salvation first at the very root, then baring (forrbearing, long-suffering, a couple fruits of the spirit out of and based in love) with people holding them up. For that you naturally would have to be well-rooted. Thus all begins with forgiveness of sins towards the Lord, then others. Please refer to Colossians 3:12-14).

Amen †
