_________________________________________________________
Ephesus: the first letter, the first seal– Lost first love, religious activities— wrong heart motives: this correlates with the false coming forward: the seemingly white horse who sits in power, holding promise (a bow), and wearing authority that’s been ‘given’ to him; and he goes forth to conquer.
This speaks to the false church, a hypocritical people, a people works focused— but devoid of personal relationship with God: this BREEDS antichrist in operation in his people: for anti-christ, only comes to be erected in a people who ‘claim’ Christ in them, and they in him: but are hypocrites.
One attribute of the false, the anti— or other option Jesus’ spirit— is hypocrisy: it’s why the antichrist comes looking pure, with a promise of power and authority in image— but lacks the authentic relationship with God: it is in the image of God outwardly, but denying the power of the Holy Spirit, in truth, within, to have fully changed a man.
It is the apostate, outward actions— inward devoid dedication to righteous living, and the King of (meaning— Melchizedek), who will usher forth— the first horse (or power) of God’s judgment.
They will exemplify harshness, be very judgmental, potentially neglecting the elements (or fruit) of love and grace, almost entirely— in their interactions with others: they will have an outward appearance, seem to say all the right lingo— but inwardly they are apostate for they have lost God in the shuffle of religion: and Ichabod is erect— and the glory has departed.
The antichrist comes forth— because so does the apostate church: the false.

Smyrna: the second letter, the second seal: war comes upon the earth, and unto mankind— because false has arisen, and yet calls itself authentic and true.
God has said— he comes not to bring peace upon the earth, but a sword to divide the reprobate from the holy, that in which profanes the name of God— from that in which exalts the name of God in heaven and earth.
And so— because the false has come forth, calling itself light; we will see war, separation, dragon, beast, and the orator of falseness (the prophet of): and much death will come from this upon the earth: and men’s hearts shall fail them, for looking at the things that come upon the earth during all of this ‘revealing.’
But the beginning of persecution comes forth— because like the church of Smyrna— there are a remnant of God’s people who are separated unto him, in authenticity, not hypocrisy, and with unwavering faith: these are they who refuse to participate in pagan activities and practices, and who uphold righteousness (in love); and of whom will suffer persecutions during this time of great warring in the earth— even, some, unto martyrdom (like in Smyrna).
This is tribulation come— and steadfast faith and endurance called for, just like Smyrna: to keep the public witness, like they did.
Though Smyrna suffered outwardly— they were rich spiritually with God: we need to remember this as the second seal is opened, and the red horse power of war— comes forth: for with all wars— there is shortages and persecutions, death and conquering, faith and lack of: best we gird up our loins now— like Smyrna, as well.

Pergamum: the third letter, and third seal: famine because of the false coming forward, because of the warring taking place— with persecutions, hardships, and death: and these things are coming forth for the ‘seat of satan’s throne,’ is strong with the people of this day— as like in Pergamum.
This essentially speaks of the mark satan has been able to mark humanity with already— in a beastly nature being brought forth within them: all outward marks— begin inwardly, spiritually, before they are ever an outward tattoo (so to speak); and it will be in the power of their thought life (forehead marks) where the seat of authority and rule is to be; or it will be found as well— in the deeds of their hands (right hand is symbolic of authority, and reach).
And because there has been a famine for the Word of God (the person of, and his way of righteousness erect in a man again, who follows the narrow path of conduct— headed by God himself within a man who has bowed to him: understanding what life really is in Christ Jesus) —we have a correlation of famine in worldly terms: one sustenance forsaken, so the other is forsaken to the world.
The power of the black horse of famine (with just balances— by the way— speaking of sow and reap), comes forth, for reasons like Pergamum: the seat of satan is erect, and allowed in these people; complacency is tolerating what it ought not— in the hearts and lives of men: Immorality, idolatry, and no confrontation of, or discipline taking place— upholding the teachings of Balaam; along with the sexual deviations of the Nicolatians still taking place.
These things are coming upon the earth, and all men will see— because his church failed to actively address and discipline the sinful behavior— essentially condoning it by not taking action.
But NO ONE— will hurt the holy (separated unto God) people in the earth at this time— those carrying the oil and the wine (the anointing and the intimacy with the way, the truth, and life in Christ Jesus): these will be cared for by God and his holy angels.
______________________
Thyatira: the fourth letter, and the fourth seal: a pale horse of power rides forth— and the name upon it is death, and hell is following with; and power was ‘given,’ again— to kill a fourth of the earth with sword (warring), hunger (famine), death comes forth, and by wild beasts of the earth— too (which can be violent man, technically, in addition to animals: hence— beasts).
Great abominations, and desolations to the temple of God have been taking place— and now, because of what man has been choosing— dearth in the earth, pestilences come forward, tribulations are great, and death and hell are loose— and on the scene.
The church of Thyatira was commended for their works of love, faith, patience, service, and endurance— BUT— they entertained, permitted, and were complacent with Jezebel— who ‘called herself’ a prophetess: false religious people who actually are ravenous wolves inside, hypocrites, living immorality and idolatry— and LEADING OTHERS INTO SUCH— as they present themselves as examples of ‘how to behave,’ before others in their day to day, week to week, situation to situation, lives.
Again— another situation of ‘outward works,’ and individual lives lived aright before and unto God; but no corporate discipline or structure to tear down the reprobate operations, and wolves snuck into the sheepfold— because there were no checks and balances.
They compromised— and allowed evil in, and did nothing to eradicate it— they were complacent: and by default— they condoned what God hated, and rottenness entered the house of God.
This is why a thorough cleansing by fire is coming forth.
When we have a failure to stand against serious sin and false teaching within our house— we fail, for we are divided and reprobate, and wolves have entered in— and are secretly devouring the flock, and bringing more into this abomination of a desolate house.

Sardis: The fifth letter, and the fifth seal: The church of Sardis is primarily criticized in the Bible for being spiritually dead despite having a reputation for being alive; they appeared outwardly Christian but lacked genuine faith and practice; however, a small group of faithful individuals remained who were commended for keeping their garments pure, in their unwavering commitment to Christ: These faithful individuals demonstrated genuine devotion to Jesus— despite the surrounding spiritual apathy.
Much death and martyrdom will come forth because of this apathy, and spiritual death: what do we think comes with spiritual death, but death itself (reflected in the physical)? And note— apathy— brought it to be.
Under the altar of God is the true testimony— and those who were slain for it, for keeping truth to the Word of God, himself: and these wear white robes of righteousness, and they are resting— till more come into the same fiery trials, and result: martyrdom.
Sardis— was largely viewed as a cautionary tale about complacency and spiritual decline, and death— the result of.
We have the very same thing alive today— actually, death is alive today, or working today in men: and it’s not only important that each man rid himself of death and hell by coming into the righteousness of Christ, and spending time with him, literally, spiritually; but we MUST, it’s CRITICAL— keep the house of God CORPORATELY CLEAN— too: and this is the reason for judgment coming to the house of God.
He said to me— “How can I lead the people of the world who are lost, unto the house of God, to learn of me there… lest the house of God is clean and righteous? So— I will cleanse and purify my house.”
We must have leadership that is under God, and as he is— to bring forth a people capable of raising the rest they are responsible for— up in the way to be: or we can go nowhere in harvesting the people of the world into the house of God; for the house of God is as the world.
We are found here— where God has begun his work.

Philadelphia: The sixth letter, and sixth seal: Wise virgins, key of David: Isaiah 22:22 coming forth having authority over death and hell (they are, after all, released already in the former seals), the opening of heaven for the wise virgins (Philadelphia), those who have the anointing and intimacy of authentic relationship with God— who are called in, and walking in, brotherly love: to these— satan will bow (to this tiny church/people, the tip of the spearhead of those mature of the Lord— for they are HOT for God and righteousness, and walk in love and truth: the light.
This ‘hour of trial,’ that will come upon those on the earth— is not for them; but for the hypocritical, apostate, and reprobate— though they will see it all take place upon the earth.
A great earthquake will come— and the sun (likely because of this great rising smoke, tainting the sky, and causing the moon to be seen like blood) will be darkened— and stars will fall from heaven to the earth (also speaking of spiritual entities cast down to earth): when shaken of a mighty wind (Spirit).
The heavens are now changed (skies), and the earth now moved out of its place (land changes), and the prominent men of the earth (rich, chief ones, mighty men), will hide themselves— so as to be hidden from the face of the Almighty when these things begin to take place, from the wrath of the Lamb: “For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?”
But an angel— with ‘the seal of the living God’ comes forth and proclaims— no harm to the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees— till we have sealed the servants of our God— in their foreheads.
There is a LITERAL, SPIRITUAL marking God will send his angel forth with— to seal/name/mark his people with, during this time.
Coming forth of the seal, and stamping them with the name of the living God upon them— are the 144,000 of the people of Israel (the people of faith, the spiritual children of Abraham): the 144th regiment army of the Lord, in the earth.
This— is Philadelphia, risen: Isaiah 60:1-2
“Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. For, behold— the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon you, and his glory shall be seen upon you.”
What are these which are arrayed in white robes— and whence came them?
Revelation 3:14-17
“And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me— These are those which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore they are before the throne of God, and serve him— day and night— in his temple: and he that sits on the throne— shall dwell among them. They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. For the Lamb— which is in the midst of the throne— shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.”
These people are coming forth, and for the reason of the cleansing of their garments in his blood (real relationship, authenticity lived, carnal nature death— and service to the Lamb), day and night— who, like Joshua— never leave the tabernacling: but they will come forth in the darkest of human history— and their light will shine the brightest: they are a warring priesthood, who carry dominion— as kings, with God in the earth: for God— rules in these (which is what Israel means: He will rule— God).
Philadelphia (or the mature church and priesthood) is commended for their unwavering faithfulness to Christ, never denying His name, and remaining obedient to His word, even in the face of persecution; making them one of the only churches in the Book of Revelation— without rebuke.
In the darkest hour of humanity (souls of darkened men, grossly darkened souls, wars, and dearth in the earth), in the darkest hours of the earth— God’s pure ones, cleansed in his Refiner’s fire, being trained up, honed, reformed, schooled, chastised, corrected, whipped into shape— will come forth: TO SERVE.
These are servants of the Lord and righteousness: and they will be brought forth, out of the caves, out of Refiner’s fire— where he has been keeping them— and he will reveal them to the world: and the world will know that he has loved them, and they— have requited that obedient love back toward him.

Laodicea: the seventh letter correlation to the seventh seal:
Laodiceans— unwise virgins— is what the name means: and so a trial of the people will come forth— a furnace of affliction, that some may be saved; for these are the foolish builders who have been building upon sand— unrighteous acts, lawlessness, being lukewarm: the tares who hear, but do not put the truth or righteousness into practice.
Because they stood for nothing— with vigor— not even evil with full on dedication (which would be cold), and they were not hot for the Lord— in full pursuit of him, and righteousness, living and becoming the truth erect in them…
God says— I know your works (actions that stem from the state of your heart and its affiliations: attributes lived); and because you essentially have not stood on either side whole-heartedly, I will spew you out with the wicked.
This is because— doing nothing, is actually doing something; and no choice— actually chooses (it chooses estrangement from God, and death): and so— if they do not repent— they will be lost forever.
So— great shaking comes for these: for they will know which side of the fence they are really on— and will get one more chance, during the worst of times to repent, and turn toward God for real within their hearts; and their lives are on the line— both in the physical and in the spiritual.
These people think the are living the word, and walking the walk; they have increased in worldly things, but are deficient in holy spiritual things; they think they are in need of nothing; but in truth God says they are spiritually blind— see not clearly the truth, and are naked— lack his righteous robe covering, and because of this, they are: miserable, poor, and wretched.
And he begs of them to repent, and get refined and reformed inside, paying the cost (buy gold, the new man attained in sanctification in the washing of the word, and the Refiner’s fire), to get clean— white garments (Iive true inside) —so that they are clothed properly to enter in, through the Door: and for this— he is willing to administer the eye salve so that they can see clearly: this will be initiated in great tribulation.
Because he said— “As many as I love— I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hears my voice, and opens the door— I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
To him that overcomes I will grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.”
He is begging the lukewarm, during the tribulation— to come clean, get real, get dedicated, uphold him and righteousness— so that he can give them their heart’s desires: him, and life with him forever more, based in the choices they are standing for in their hearts— in truth.
The Laodiceans are criticized in scripture for being complacent, spiritually proud, and overly focused on material wealth, essentially, believing they were ‘rich and needed nothing’ —despite their spiritual poverty, leading to a lukewarm and apathetic attitude towards their faith: Jesus urges them to repent and seek true riches in God.
They were steeped in self-sufficiency and complacency: they didn’t really, inside or out— need God: they were independent of God (without), and not dependent upon God (yoked oxen, doing life together in covenant).
They were never fully devoted to God, but rather— indifferent and lacking passion in their faith toward his person.
Pride and self-deception were pervasive in them— whilst being blind to it: deceived: The church members were blind to their own spiritual shortcomings.
Lack of repentance must be dealt with in the tribulation: The message to Laodiceans (the lukewarm) emphasizes the need for repentance and a change of heart— to turn away from their worldly priorities and ways— and seek a genuine, repentant, obedient, reverent, relationship with God.
These are reasons that the churches— and their conduct— reflect or mirror why the things that are coming in the book of Revelation come to be: for there is a need for much change, in the hearts of men; for they have been affiliated with darkness, and the deception and lust of it— for far too long.

The 7 Angels with 7 Trumpets
______________________________________
Revelation 8
“And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.
2 And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.
3 And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints— upon the golden altar which was before the throne.
4 And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints— ascended up before God— out of the angel's hand.
5 And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.”
Note here, that only after 30 minutes of silence— which is usually a time of silence for those that have perished, of great sacrifice— do the 7 angels come forth with 7 trumpets to sound.
And only after another angel comes forward in duty before the altar of God, with a golden censer, and much incense— a beautiful aroma tied to the precious prayers of the saints— does the smoke and prayer ascend up before the Lord God— out of the angel’s hand— that the angel then commences to fill the censer now with fire from the altar— and cast that holy fire to the earth.
As the angel does this— it is poured forth, in affiliation with the saints and their prayers: this brings forth the commencement of the multitude of voices, thunderings, lightning, and earthquaking: it is all tied together.
Our Lord is focused on his saints— right before all this takes place.
6 “And the seven angels, which had the seven trumpets —prepared themselves to sound.”
This is an announcement of a great change coming forth, and tied to the saints, and God: their relationship, and their cries unto the Lord God for the things in the earth, and to honor and worship God.
7 “The first angel sounded— and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.
8 And the second angel sounded— and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood; 9 And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea— and had life— died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.
10 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; 11 And 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.
12 And the fourth angel sounded— and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise.
13 And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice— Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabitants of the earth— by reason of the other voices of the trumpet, of the three angels— which are yet to sound!”
____________________
The 7th seal opening coincides with 7 sounds that are being released into the earth— bringing in massive changes; changes that shake the heavens and the earth, as the Lord said he would.
The first angel sends forth the sound of his trumpet blast— and hail and fire, mingled with blood is cast upon the earth: this speaks of atmospheric storms, and death because of these events: ⅓ of the trees are destroyed (that’s a big chunk of oxygen producing plants), and grass.
As the second angel sends forth their sound— something like a great mountain on fire, is cast into the sea; and because of it— the sea turns to blood, killing ⅓ of the life in the sea, as well as destroying ⅓ of the ships in the same sea.
The third angel from heaven brings in their sounding trumpet blast and a great star from heaven, like a lamp, falls and lands upon a third part of the rivers (meaning— its job is to affect ⅓ of the rivers of water) and fountains (waterfalls/springs, etc): and this star is called— Wormwood; and a ⅓ of the waters (fresh water) becomes wormwood, and much death becomes of this because the water is made bitter (undrinkable).
The fourth angel sounds and ⅓ of the sun is smitten, and a ⅓ of the moon and stars— lighting is greatly affected upon the earth. Things change drastically.
And lastly, but not least, as the fourth angel sounds, another angel is seen and heard flying through the midst of heaven with a loud voice crying out a warning to those upon the earth; we should take note of this— an angel is saying, essentially that what is coming next if VERY aggressive and grievous.
Crying— Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabitants of the earth— because the next 3 angel voices that are about to sound— are coming now; and it’s alarming to an angel.
____________________
Revelation 9
“And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.”
And here we go— this is why the angel was giving such a heavy warning cry— hell is being opened, and letting loose its inhabitants upon people of the earth: a star falling from heaven— is like unto a power coming forth from heaven on a mission. This angel has the job of opening hell and the pit— which Jesus has the keys to, but has now given them to this angel— to bring out that which has been kept there.
2 “And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. [Darkness of spirit = darkness upon the earth: parallels.] 3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power— as the scorpions of the earth have power.
4 And it was commanded of them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, nor any tree; but only those men —who did not have the seal of God in their foreheads.”
This is significant. Once again we see that the things coming upon the earth are because of reprobate men and women, who chose darkness over light, unrighteousness over righteousness, evil over godliness— and the earth is suffering this fate because of sow and reap.
The trumpets and what comes forth— is a direct correlation to justice; being it is just that humanity (the world) reaps what it has been storing up, born of the choices it has been choosing, and the entities and attributes they have been coupling with: they have coupled with hell and death— and so hell and death are coming forth to meet them: those who chose not God, and do not bear his name or Spirit in them.
5 “And to them it was given that they should not kill them— but that they should be tormented (instead) for five months [torture, but no death from this]: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he strikes a man. 6 And in those days— men shall seek death, but shall not find it; and shall desire to die— but death shall flee from them.
7 And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads was, as it were— crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.”
[These are commissioned powers with authority of hell— for they wear crowns; and they were sent forth of the angels from God’s throne— to bring these things into the earth.]
8 “And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions. 9 And they had breastplates, as it were— breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle. 10 And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men— five months.
11 And they had a king over them— is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue has his name Apollyon.”
Note: all of this is ordained of the Lord God, and brought forth of the spiritual law of sow and reap. We know this— for they cannot touch God’s sealed people— only those who are not sealed of God. Those sealed of God— have sown righteousness, and have returned to the face of God, in a real relationship with him and his truth; those being tormented and hurt by these spiritual entities from hell— did not choose God, nor righteousness, nor truth; but instead— coupled with satan; and he comes forth for his own.
Even in this— God desires repentance, and a true turning toward him so that he can then extend mercy and grace unto them, and sow a different result unto them: as they would be choosing him through repentance: even in these judgments— there is his love and mercy, and desire that none should perish.
For in the human race's experience with all these things— they will see a glimpse of satan, and of hell, and of death; and possibly, just possibly— repent and come back home to God.
12 “One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter.
13 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, a day, a month, and a year— to slay the third part of men.
16 And the number of the army of the horsemen— were two hundred thousand, thousand (200,000,000): and I heard the number of them.
17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.
18 By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths. 19 For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads— and with them they do hurt.
20 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues— yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk: 21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.”
Good Lord— our God is attempting to show them what it’s like to NOT couple with him, now, or for eternity— and men are seared, and not turning back toward God: even though he’s attempting, mercifully, to show them what they are linked to— whilst still alive in the earth realm to do something about it, NOW; and be saved in eternity: but, as like Babylon in the bible— they would not have it.

The reasons why these things come to be:
The Little Book

Revelation 10
“And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire: 2 And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth, 3 And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roars: and when he had cried— seven thunders uttered their voices.
4 And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me— Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.
5 And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven, 6 And swore by him that lives forever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein— that there should be time no longer: 7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound— the mystery of God should be finished, as he has declared to his servants the prophets.
8 And the voice which I heard from heaven spoke unto me again, and said— Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which stands upon the sea and upon the earth. 9 And I went unto the angel, and said unto him— Give me the little book. And he said unto me— Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make your belly bitter, but it shall be in your mouth— sweet as honey.”
I relate to this. I am sitting writing all of this out with the Lord, enjoying what he is telling me, but also horrified and longing for the repentance of men and women— as he details out to me that he has, indeed, set forth the only way, the perfect way (the 7’s), giving man every opportunity to see, and to know, and to choose whom he will serve: and yet— we read— ‘and they would not repent, nor turn back to God.’
I am horrified, and it’s hard to stomach (bitter in my belly, center-most), where my spirit is; but as I eat of it, and take in all he is speaking to me— I KNOW— it is mercy, it is love, it is good, and long-sufferingly patient and gracious of him, in all his ways: but it is difficult to swallow, all the same.
10 “And I took the little book out of the angel's hand— and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter. 11 And he said unto me— You must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.”
That is what God is saying to me, right now:
“Janet, this is like the little book, and it must come forth. We must speak to the people and explain WHY all of this is coming to be— BEFORE IT COMES TO BE— in hopes that some shall repent, and turn to me once again.
We will detail out the cross referencing, we will explain and expound, we will plead and we will pray, we will intercede and we will work the priesthood, we will prophecy to them, and we will warn them with everything we’ve got— every bit of everything we’ve got.
And then— it is up to each man.
But if we warn them, now, perhaps, some will repent, some will turn back to me, some will share the teaching— and some will be saved. I have hope in my servants and our efforts: many have forsaken their mandates and calling, as I sent them forth in the earth; but others— have picked up the slack and are pulling double duty: it will all get done, and I am very grateful to the faithful.
I am coming soon, Janet, and tell them— with me, comes my reward. I am faithful and true— and I take care of mine, and I bless those that bless me, with requited love for both myself and the brethren, who work the mission field with me in the earth.
These things are set out perfectly to accomplish the best, and just, results of what man has sown: we work mercy and grace, but we work justice and godly judgment as well; and in this— some will be saved, albeit, by fire.”
—Your Creator, Maker, and Savior

“And there was given me a reed— like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying— Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.”
He will measure justly— and will reward, the same— will be just.

Revelation 11:15-19
“And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying— The kingdoms of this world, are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign forever and ever.
16 And the twenty four elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God, 17 Saying— We give you thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and was, and are to come; because you have taken to you your great power, and have reigned.
18 And the nations were angry, and your wrath is come— and the time of the dead, that they should be judged; and that you should give reward unto your servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear your name— small and great; and should destroy them who destroy the earth.
19 And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple— the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.”
As the sound of the 7th angel comes forth— we see that it coincides with ‘the just people of God,’ once again. All that the Lord does— is just and good; and here— the heavens are declaring the goodness of God, and just what he accomplished with Calvary; and his victory over all— and regaining control of all, by the blood of the Lamb— and his testimony of: His reign is forever, and his reign is over all.
Those serving in the throne room, the closest to the Lord ‘of elders,’ bow and give reverence to the Lord, and give thanks to him for all he has accomplished, and for the power of him.
The sound that comes forth, from the 7th angel— is first begun with the sound of declaring the power, goodness, accomplishments of the Lord God— his victories, and his eternal reign: this is the sound of heaven that is coming forth, from the inhabitants thereof.
One interesting thing about this ‘sound’ of the 7th angel, coming forth, is that in all that heaven (and the godly) is rejoicing about— the nations of the earth (people of the earth, by far and large) are angry about: this speaks to the sheer number of humans, at this point, that are still opposing the Lord God holy, and his reigning over all.
His wrath (or passion, and moves of) has come, it states, and the time of the judging of the ‘dead,’ has arrived. This speaks to the ‘state of the dead,’ and those being the unrighteous, wicked, deniers/rejectors of Christ Jesus, his holiness and righteousness— and his gift to all of humanity (himself, and the ability to reconnect and return to God through his life and blood sacrifice to all of creation).
And the next statement speaks to the ‘why’ this is just: not only because of sow and reap, and the spiritual law of choice, and service to that heart’s choices; but because it is also just to defend his separated, reverent, holy servants— the prophets, saints— those who fear the name of the Lord (all the way to very smallest/least of those people): because the meek shall inherit the earth— and right now— there are people destroying his creation, and the angel is speaking of the need to stop that, and bring in justice: as he is he who has always been over his creation, and truly, rightfully, reigns supreme over all nations and kingdoms— as well.
And this is very important to under the justice (the equity, or fairness) of God: it shows the testament, which means, by definition— a person's will, especially the part relating to personal property, something that serves as a sign or evidence of something specified, a covenant or dispensation (divine order or providence, and dispensing something); and the root definition being: Middle English: from Latin testamentum ‘a will’ from testari ‘testify’, in Christian Latin also translating Greek diathēkē ‘covenant’.
So we begin to see that the Lord is taking note of justice, his precious people who loyally serve him and his kingdom within their lives; at the same time he is looking at, and revealing, all of the above: his fairness/justice, his will, his property to do with as he deems proper over his property (his possession of all nations/peoples/kingdoms), the evidences of this covenant, or evidences of this divine order and providence of things— which testify of the truth, and the covenant.
All this should be taken into consideration— as what God is taking into consideration, and heaven as well— as it’s shown to them, right as this 7th angel is sounding off; and as he does— lightnings, voices, thunderings, earthquaking, and great hail come forth; all this coinciding with his people, justice, and the recompense of the wicked and their choices: he’s coming after hell and death that are destroying his creation— and all those affiliated with.
This begins the trials, and testings of, that shall come upon the inhabitants of the whole earth.

The testing of a people
_______________________________________
The testing of the bride in the wilderness —even unto martyrdom, Michael warring with God’s people against the Dragon, the birthing of maturity— all begins to take place in chapter 12 of the book of Revelation.
The woman who enters into the wilderness in maturity (already birthed out) is taken to a safe place in the wilderness (during the harsh testing period) to be nourished by God for 3.5 years, and the Dragon is wroth because of God’s help.
In Chapter 13 it describes a 7 headed beast (persons/powers) with 10 horns— ten ways in which this perfected beast will come forth. Upon the beast’s 10 horns— were 10 crowns, and the name (character and authority) of blasphemy [which means vilification against God].
Verse 4 of Revelation 13 (which is the number for rebellion, coincidentally) says— “And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying— Who is like unto the beast— who is able to make war with him?”
This speaks of those who worship carnality and the self-flesh nature; these will empower the beast (wicked carnal powers, human and fallen) at this time period; these vilify God in blasphemy, live the 666 (or fully fallen nature), and empower the demonic-fallen Kingdom upon earth— who claim no one is like the power of this kingdom in the earth.
For 3.5 years the woman will be nourished; and at the same time period of 3.5 years— the Beast is running amok in the earth. He is blaspheming God (and all those humans with him are) and he’s making war with the saints— to overcome them.
The saints— is defined as the pure, holy, consecrated ones (separated ones out of the beast system/Babylonian culture) —which speaks to those who are separated and not taking upon them the image of the beast or dragon, or his mark/name (character and seal).
The woman is being nourished; the saints are going to war with the Beast, empowered by the Dragon. The Beast is attempting to overcome them and slay them (he is trying those who are still coming into maturity in their identities in Christ Jesus).
I believe there is a spiritual emphasis here in that it is literally principalities and powers of fallen entities, unclean spirits; but there is always a literal aspect to these things as well. I believe the Beast that is overcoming them— is the Beast system run by the evil men of the earth— seeking to eradicate God’s people (persecution): and many still being tested (the immature in Christ) are falling away, and toward the Beast and his system— to save their carnal lives. Not all will succumb to this— but many will begin to deny God, or exalt their dirt-suit lives as the Beast comes forth— and will fall away from the faith, and from exalting his name.
But a remnant will hold steadfast— under the persecution and assault of the Beast— who will gain crowns of life, if even through martyrdom: the remnant of the woman’s seed— that the Dragon comes after, at the end of chapter 12, to test and try them of their faith and upholding the name of the Lord in all circumstances— even facing flesh death.
The woman is being protected at this time— but the remnant of her seed has gone to war with the Beast (meaning— the beast has come after them— for the mature cannot be touched, as the Spirit of the Lord and that person— have become one in full union, and they are firmly established in their identity and authority over the Dragon). I believe the remnant of her seed are those who have been following after her, learning of her mature relationship with Christ Jesus, the truth, the way, and the life; who will be tried in the furnace of affliction during this time, and tested now, themselves in their relationship and identity in Christ; who will be required to stay separated unto God, and not deny his name— even unto a martyrs death.
Many will succumb to the testing period and fall away from the faith to save their dirt-suit, fleshly lives; and many will be martyred for keeping the faith, keeping the name of the Lord in the earth— no matter what they are tested with: those are they who will not worship the Beast, no matter what (which, symbolically, is the flesh, 666), and their names are written in the Lamb’s book of life; and they will find themselves with him in a moment’s time.
Revelation 13:7–8
“And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him— whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.”
Revelation 13:10
“He that leads into captivity— shall go into captivity: he that kills with the sword— must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.”
This speaks of men upon the earth being tested for their salt: what we are really made of: if we work darkness— we reap dark reward, if we serve the light— we reap the reward of light: each man will give account for what he has done in body, and the Lord is a just balance— what a man sows— he will reap, quid pro quo.
And the saints will be tried in all of this during the 3.5 years of their testing; and they are called to be patient and keep the faith: each man will go through the crucible— the woman has been going through it for some time now; the saints (separated remnant of her seed at this time) will be required to go through the same: a death is required to enter into the Kingdom of heaven.
The Beast is performing great feats and wonders during this time; and again— I believe this is man, backed by fallen entities, in the earth— and could also be speaking of the interface with technology (like Artificial Intelligence) at this time: and all will worship it thinking nothing is like this Beast.
In verse 15 it says— “and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.”
There will be fiery trials of the people during this time, and during this time— both the woman is being nourished in the wilderness time period, and the remnant seed is going through their testing. The remnant seed saints (those who need to die a death to enter in, same as the maturity and persecution that the woman has had to go through) —they will be tried by fire during this time: the woman is still being cared for during the 3.5 years, which speaks of God’s protection/procuring of her during this time— as she is being fully indwelled by God, and working the mission field, herself, still, at this time (raising up more, in the way to go). She is being hidden and provided for— because she still has much ministry to finish at this time: she is of service to the King, and will be continuing in great exploits of faith, and workings of (signs, miracles, and wonders), led of the Spirit— one with the Spirit.
And no one can receive provision (buy or sell) or sustenance without serving the Beast, and Beast system of function in the earth; but the woman— is cared for supernaturally, already, by God, during this time; as well as any being tested, who are coming to understand their relationship to he who is faithful and true— and are coming into understanding their inheritance in the Lord God, his love for them, and their proper identity: these— he will supernaturally provide for, as they will stand in the place of being a child of the King of all of creation.
The Keys of the 144,000
(secret building: why they are different, and the ‘sound’ they bring forth)
In chapter 14, the 144,000 come forth— those redeemed of the earth, who are virgins (wise brides of the Lord) and who are mature spiritually, who have clean garments— undefiled, no guile in their mouths— no trickery or deceit; they are first fruits of the Lord, they sing a different song that only they know (this is the new sound coming forth from the throne room, the Lord and his priests, and from the altar of the priesthood), and they are counted as faultless before God— and serve at his throne: they have God’s name written upon their foreheads (the space God is to rule, and they bow to him there in the Spirit), and that name is his character and the authority he brings with it: these have erected God holy into his proper place within the high places, and he, himself, rules and reigns there, as well as his fruit or attributes; and they have been seated with him there, in heavenly places, submissive to him— but joined as one to him, as well: 2 become 1: the power of one accord.
And these are they who follow the Lamb wherever he goes: that is— not only a movement forward, following him— but it is also to walk as he walks: if God does not ‘go there,’ these will not either (speaking of behaviors upheld within man).
Verses 6 & 7 of chapter 14 detail out the purpose of the remnant seed of the Lord— Fear God, give glory unto him— for he is weighing the earth and inhabitants of in the hour (time period) of his judgment: worship him (not fallen, fleshly man: the beast, 666), for it is he who has made all that is— since the beginning.
This is a call to reverence before the Almighty.
“And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people— Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.”
During this time— Babylon is taken down (and essentially, it’s a construct that becomes erect inside men, that creates a culture of fallen, beastly nature carried out): God demolishes the places of Babylon culture (and the people) within the earth, during the hour of his judgement: and we should be grateful for his dealing with the evil; for he gives ample time for repentance of man (time to turn around and seek his face and righteousness).
Verses 9-11
“If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand— The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.”
This is where God is saying once again— those saints being tried— will be called to endure all of this, and remain steadfast during it all: they are called to keep the faith in Jesus Christ (do not fall away), and they are called to keep righteousness and the fear of the Lord— during all of this fiery trial period— where the inhabitants of the earth are being tried.
13-14
“And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.
And I looked, and behold— a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.”
This is where the Lord comes forth to reap the whole earth— it is time to sort, entirely, the wheat from the tares, the goats from the sheep (true family of God), the holy from the profane— and he is presiding over his creation with power and authority to call it all forth.
19
“And the angel thrust his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.”
The root of the Strong’s definition of ‘wrath,’ is PASSION: it is born of the passion of the Lord to bring evil to nought, and to raise up the righteous: these both take place at the same time— the time of weighing all things in his judgment.
In chapter 15 the angels come forth with the last plagues (trials and judgments upon the inhabitants of the earth); but they also speak of those who ‘overcame’ the Beast at this time: that means— some DID overcome the Beast, and not all were overcome ‘by’ the Beast.
This is why he keeps reiterating that the mature— are walking in the fullness of the Lord at this time, and the Lord walking in fullness within them at this fiery trial, judgment period.
But some are undergoing trials and testing of their faith who are overcome by the Beast and Dragon during this time: a falling away.
It’s why he keeps saying— “Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.”
Because if the commandment of God is kept (his leadership and ways) during this time, and the faith is procured within a man— victory over the Beast is accomplished.
The mature are matured— in the face of great trials, tribulations, and pressure: they are sure to come out of the furnace of affliction— refined into pure gold: victory over the Beast (maturity over immaturity, the true over the false).
There is a new sound coming from these playing harps.
Revelation 15:1-4
“And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous— seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them— is filled up the wrath of God.
And I saw, as it were, a sea of glass mingled with fire: and those that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name— stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.
And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying— Great and marvelous are your works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are your ways— you— King of saints.
Who shall not fear you, O Lord— and glorify your name? For you only are holy: for all nations shall come and worship before you; for your judgments are made manifest.”
So— we have the last plagues, that coincide with the passion of God (wrath), and as well we see those who gained victory over the Beast (his image/likeness, and his mark/seal— as well, note— over his name— his character, very important understanding): these are the overcomers who came through great testing of their faith, and God’s leadership over them. These carry a new sound/song— glorifying the Lord God.
Note that they speak of glorifying (dignifying) God, his nature/ways, his power, his deeds, his justice: and these are the saints who came through great trials upon the earth.
And they speak of the fact that EVERYONE should be dignifying (glorifying) his name (character, and person of integrity, power, justice— with actions of carried out of his person): for no one is holy, but him (which speaks to the only reason we will be purified and set apart unto God, as well, is because WE ARE IN HIM, and HE IN US: period): and that’s why all people will come and worship before him.
And when will they do this? When will this be accomplished— that all nations shall come to worship him?
When his judgments are made manifest (shown); which also coincides with his pouring out of passion (wrath). Many people call it one or the other— but it is only when his cup of wrath is poured out— that the judgments are made manifest in the earth: judgment and wrath (passion of the Lord) coincide.
Revelation 15:5-8
“And after that I looked, and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened: And the seven angels came out of the temple, having the seven plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and having their breasts girded with golden girdles.
And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels— seven golden vials full of the wrath of God— who lives forever and ever.
And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power; and no man was able to enter into the temple— till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled.”
The testimony is opened up— the witness of all that is truth, and note— the 7 angels that come forth, out of the temple, with the 7 plagues— are clothed in RIGHTEOUSNESS (pure white linen), and their breasts (heart area) furnished with gold (purity), tempered and refined metal, or consistency.
I note this because we need to understand that all God is doing, in all of this, is just and pure— as he is. And those carrying this all out— are just and pure, as he is.
The 7 vials of God’s passion (wrath) are coming straight out of the throne room of heaven, carried by pure and holy ones.
And the temple of God was so full of his glory and power— that no man was able to enter into the temple of God at the time of the handing out of the vials of his passion, unto the holy and pure angels; and it wasn’t until the 7 plagues were ACCOMPLISHED— that man could enter back in: the power and glory of God, and his holy judgments and wrath coming forth— was so strong and holy— that no man was allowed in during that time.
Folks— this is all coming forth straight from God himself, and in his FULLNESS OF HIS PERSON: who can stand— in the day of the Lord?!
In chapter 16 the 7 vials are poured out— and they are affecting the beastly people, those who worship the carnal flesh nature, and the entity backing it: those who received the marking/seal of the Beast.
And the first of the vials, afflictions poured forth, straight from the throne of God himself (the fear of the Lord out to impact us, in his power, and in his just judgments poured forth: he is not mocked, what a man sow {affiliates with} he will reap) —is sores upon them: this speaks to their rotten spiritual infection within their souls.
Then, the second vial killed all that was in the ocean— by making it as the blood of death (dead men). Then the third was like it— pouring blood of death upon the rivers and waterfalls (fresh water).
As these vials of wrath are poured out— remember, the Philadelphian church is ‘saved’ from the hour of temptation that comes upon the inhabitants of the earth: they were found worthy by God.
But as these vials are poured out— holy angels are declaring (in Revelation 16, verses 5-7), that, God is RIGHTEOUS (and thus his judgment is): for those that it is being poured out upon— are the wicked— who killed the saints and prophets (prophetic voices); and so now— God is giving back to them the same thing they sowed: death and blood: because this is just.
“And I heard the angel of the waters say— Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and was, and shall be— because you have judged, thus (this way). For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets— and you have given them blood to drink; for they are worthy. And I heard another out of the altar say— Even so, Lord God Almighty— true and righteous are your judgments.”
The fourth vial is poured out upon the sun— to scorch men with fire; and as they were scorched with great heat— they vilified God (blasphemed) who is just and righteous, and they repented not, nor gave him glory. 😶
