The fact is we must wake up and repent and be baptised by the holy spirit or we might all perish. jewish people or Gentiles all must be born again. Jesus is the way the truth and the life. Knowing the two witnesses without Jesus takes people no where. Repent for the kingdom of God is near, We should stop behaving like the heathen they believe in occult and some of believers do believe in what they believe in. We must repent. |

I WAS TOLD TO COME HERE AND POST, PLEASE READ! The true and legitimate explanation of prophecies concerning: The fall of the church of God; Babylon, the false church, and her judgement and fall; “The first resurrection”, which is the rebuilding of the church of God; The millennial reign, and the great last judgement and resurrection day of all. In the life and wisdom of Jesus, I shall now in His name give the true ex¬planation of this deep mystery; for Jesus, my wisdom, has revealed it unto me. Since this matter concerns the salvation of all, it must be carefully studied; and I declare unto all people that the changing of the time is now at hand; moreover, there is no falsehood in this explanation; therefore, let him who thirsts after the true explanation of these spiritual things, take them to heart, and turn to God with a diligent searching of the Scripture, and he shall find that these sayings are true. Yes, if anyone receiving this message will listen with an open mind to the revelation of Jesus and follow Him wherever He goes in the Word, then indeed shall the Lord by this simple message lead him to the city of God and the Lamb. “He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.” (Rev. 2:29.)* “And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whoso¬ever will, let him take the water of life freely.” (Rev. 22:17:) Amen. Dear friends! I am sure you will see from the Scripture that the true church of God has fallen; and it is also clear that this happened with the coming of the Pope into the world; for when he came, Satan, through him, achieved his deceiving power, which was to cast down truth to earth and exalt the power of falsehood in its place. We see from Rev. 13 that the Pope is the beast, which has seven heads and ten horns, and which rose up out of the sea. Furthermore, we see that the dragon (Satan) gave the beast his power, and his seat, and great authority; also, that “there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and power to continue forty and two months. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle (which is the church of God), and them that dwell in heaven (the spiritual heaven of God, the heaven of grace, or the kingdom of Christ). “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.” Here we see him that Dan. 7:25 speaks, saying, “And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.” Here we see the beast spoken of in Rev. 13. We see that his power to deceive shall continue for “a time, times and an half,” which is “forty and two months,” a period of 1260 years. One prophetic day in this language represents one year, or one year a day, and thus time is calculated in prophecy.*(See Ezek. 4:6) We see then that this is the man, that, in the days of St. St. Paul, was yet held back by the truth; for as long as the ruler of truth possessed the ruling power over and among his people, the ruler of unrighteousness could not overcome them. “Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey.” (Rom. 6:16) Satan had no power over the people of God as long as they were led by the Lord, for He had bruised the head of Satan and had won full victory over him. Satan could never overcome the people of God as long as they were the clay and the Lord was the potter, because as long as the people of God were led by the Lord they were one with Him, and Satan can never overcome the Lord. We see the fall of the church in Matt. 13, where Jesus speaks the parable about His kingdom, saying, “The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.” Here we see the fall of the church–men slept. The people fell asleep but Satan stayed awake, watching the time; for as soon as the people of God were asleep he came and sowed his seed in God’s field, and the people of God were not aware of it until it was sprung up. Thus we see how Satan accomplished his work; but when the servants of the householder, the witnesses of God who still remained true, saw it, they came and said unto the Lord, “Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?” He then answered them saying, “An enemy hath done this.” So the servants asked him, “Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?” But He said, “Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.” We see here how Satan through craft overcame the people of God. He could do nothing to them as long as the Lord was leading and guiding them, but the dragon was just as subtle as when he deceived Eve. He mixed together a sweet, pleasant an carnal drink, which is called a sleeping draught. This he tricked the children of God into drinking, and when they had drunk of it, they became drowsy and fell asleep. “Well done,” said the dragon. We see now, that Satan first put the children of God to sleep and then sowed his seed in God’s field, and in this way came the son of perdition arose and the falling away. As the the tares grew, the wheat died out. Thus Satan overcame the people of God, and in this way arose his governor on earth, the pope, the son of perdition, who prevailed over the saints, destroying them. However, those whom he bodily slew for the sake of the truth were not deceived, only those who received the mark of the beast and worshipped God contrary to the rules which the church had while she yet was true. The pope persecuted and destroyed all those who would not worship God according to his rule. He destroyed all who held to the old truth, for it was given in his power according to prophecy to cast down the truth in this way as punishment for sin. For St. St. Paul says, “Because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion” (which he has sent), “that they should believe a lie” (which they have done).* (II Thes. 2:10-11.) Here we see the cause of the great punishment that God allowed to come over the church. They were soon persuaded by Satan, and became selfish and drowsy, and they ignored the precious grace of God, not allowing the Lord to govern them in everything; therefore, God gave them over to a reprobate mind.* Rom. 1:28; (II Pet. 2.) They soon became weary of following the path of the cross; for we see that as long as the people of God were persecuted, the church remained true; but when Satan got them to drink of his sleeping draught, the simple life of grace died in them. Yes, Jesus with His life and power in and over the bride then died out. The Old Adam came to life in them instead, carrying the name of Christ, having the name “living”, but being dead. In this way the Son of Perdition took abode in their hearts. Yes, as soon as true death in Adam ceased, then ceased likewise the true life of Jesus in them. In this way the daily sacrifice was given up, and “the abomination that maketh desolate” was set up. *(Dan. 12:11; 11:31.) Yes, then Satan gained his deceiving power over the host (the people of God), for the host was given up together with the daily sacrifice. He was then able to cast the truth to the earth and to practise and prosper. Thus Christ was cut off from the earth, and the church fell from God to Satan. This they received as a punishment for their sin against the Lord; for they became weary of walking the trying way of the cross. St. Paul says in II Tim. 4:3-4, “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; and they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.” We see that this indeed happened, as Satan achieved his deceiving power in the pope, to work for a period of 1260 years, which according to prophecy had its beginning in the year 666. All this is certain and true. According to the spiritual reckoning his time is now at an end, but according to the historical reckoning he has yet a few years left. *(i.e. 1926.) The Scripture shows us literally that the falling away has taken place, and that Satan has set himself in God’s temple, purporting to be God, and in this way deceiving the whole world. *(Rev.12:9.) Yes, thus Satan overcame the people of God, for “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.” *(Rev. 13:7-8.) Here we see the terrible fall of the church from God unto Satan; from the liberty of the gospel to the curse of the law; from life and eternal glory unto eternal death and torment; and from the true worship of God unto the worship of idols, which is the worship of the beast, wherein the dragon is king. So we now see the the fall of the church and the dispersion of the children of God, away from God and His house–their land and true home–unto the dragon, idolatry and adultery: yes, where they all remain today; for thus says the Lord in Jer. 5:7: “How shall I pardon thee for this? thy children have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are no gods: when I had fed them to the full, they then committed adultery, and assembled themselves by troops in the harlots’ houses.” Here we have the spiritual meaning of these words of the Lord, which accord exactly with the falling away of the church in the New Testament. We see that this is what has happened, for the Scripture terms a church which is not of God, “a house of harlots,” and of the most abominable kind, for in the fellowship where God is not king, the dragon is king. Now, it is only the church of the pope which is false; no, but she is the mother of all the others. We find that at the time when Luther appeared, the papal church was queen over the whole world; but we see that later, in her old age, she became very productive. When Luther came, the truth of God came through and with him, to some extent, for it is true that the beast was then wounded to death by the sword of the truth. However, that deadly wound was healed, and the whole world followed after the beast with wonder. That the wound of the beast was healed signifies that the truth in those days was not fully allowed to do its work by and according to the Word. The Lord did begin in Luther, that through His witnesses He might rule His bride and church; but the Lord lost the hold he had on Luther, and the truth reverted again to God, so that which then was called the church, was subjected to state and kingdom, and became thus nothing more than a daughter to the pope-mother. You can say what will, you who oppose this truth, these words are nevertheless true. God’s own word explains these things to us, and all eternity shall stand as a witness between you, who resist this truth, and me, and show that I tell the truth in Christ Jesus and lie not. The day now at hand shall fully explain this whole matter. Take note then of this: Luther was the fourth angel; but the fifth angel came around the time of Pontoppidan. I do not say that Pontoppidan was the fifth angel, keeping that matter to myself to avoid causing to much commotion; but it is true that the locusts and their king, which Rev. 9 speaks of, appeared at that time. I do testify unto death, that all these locusts, which came out of the smoke from the bottomless pit, were nothing but the false priesthood, for it was at that time they came forth. We see that they eat up the spiritual crop. They were and are the creatures of punishment, but the Scripture calls them grasshoppers. See what the Lord says in Ezek. 2:6; Amos 7:1-10. At about that time the sect swarm came forth in full, so the darkness, zeal, and error regarding God and His word have never been so terrible as during the last one hundred and fifty years. Yes, the book of Revelation shows us clearly that from the fifth angel until the time of the sixth angel great darkness prevailed over the word of God. We can plainly see that the kingdom of the beast did not cease with the coming of Luther; oh no, it has never flourished so gloriously as from the time the beast received its deadly wound, for when the wound was healed, the beast became so refined and beautiful that the whole world followed after it with wonder. Yeah, the children of truth have had no liberty to follow the Word during these years of punishment. It is true, however, that God has had children among all this, even until the time of the harvest. It is also true and undeniable that where God has children, He himself has brought them forth by and according to His Word. Yeah, He has, by the law, slain Adam in them, and by the gospel He has raised the Son in them. “He that hath the Son hath life,” *(I John 5:12) and he who has the life of God, serves God in His life, does God’s will in His life, not serving himself or Satan, but God in His life. This is the true way and form of the rebirth, so all those that are born according to this rule, are His children and corns of wheat. But those that are not born of God according to His rule, are neither God’s children nor corns of wheat. The Scripture clearly shows us that this is so. We see from the Scripture that corns of wheat still stand here and there. If, however, such a corn of wheat during these years of punish¬ment ever tried to stand up with the right of the word of God, it would never succeed, for the time of the beast was not yet at an end, since there was given it a fixed period of time to tread down the truth and to keep falsehood on the throne, by which to deceive souls. We see also that, generally speaking, the beast’s reign of power is 1260 years, that is, beginning in the year 666. We see likewise that the power of the beast was such that no man could buy or sell save him who had the mark or name of the beast or the number of its name. Yes, thus has been the deceiving power of Satan, that if perchance anyone would preach the gospel of God, as it is in Christ Jesus, he would be banned or murdered, or subjugated in some way; for Satan, while he was free, would not permit any true witness to come forth. No, he suppressed the truth, unto which he has 7 heads and 10 horns. The seven heads are seven main doctrines of falsehood. The ten horns are the ten earthly kings of Rome, with which the dragon defends the seven doctrines. So the witnesses of God gained no victory during this period of time; for the people would neither believe nor accept anyone coming forth to preach the gospel of God without having the creed of Luther, Wesley, Pontoppidan, or any of the other winds of doctrine of today. We have now come to the very core of this mystery. Just see how a person must be marked with the name of Luther or Pontoppidan, etc., for if their names or doctrines are not professed, then no one will believe or accept him. “No man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” *(Rev. 13:17.) So even if St. St. Paul or any of the other apostles came back today and did not profess the doctrine of Luther, or any of the other doctrines of today, the people, having the spirit of the dragon in them, would not receive him. This spirit represents itself as the spirit of Christ. They would therefore even answer back to St. St. Paul, if he came to them today to preach, and call him a zealot and a deceiver. They would tell him straight to his face, for not professing their doctrines, that he had fallen from the simplicity of Christ. Yes, they would even say that if an angel from heaven came and preached a different gospel to the one they preach, they would say he was accursed; And, of course, if the apostles came back today, they would receive only everlasting damnation from these so-called Christians. The reason is that the dragon lives in them, representing himself as Christ. They have though the household of God in their hands and arrogate the right of the Word according to their own choosing, but all to the pleasure of the dragon, since it is he who rules in them. The false church is under the protection of the ten kings, so no one can buy or sell save those who have the mark of the beast or the number of its name. Is it not strange, that among all the peoples and beliefs which we have today, there is not one man like St. St. Paul or any of the true witnessess of God, wholly driven and governed by Jesus, who preaches the gospel of God as the apostles and the true witnesses did? No, there is no one today, who is cut off from all the dragon’s creeds and winds of doctrine. Oh, how it would love to see St. St. Paul risen again and preaching today as he did in those days. Now every sect claims to have the doctrine of St. Paul. The Lutheran church claims St. Paul’s doctrine; likewise the Reformed Church; also the Cath¬olic church lays claim to the parts of St. Paul’s teaching that suit her. The Methodist makes himself “sinless” with the doctrine of St. Paul. Another sect finds it appropriate by the same doctrine to baptize itself “to holi¬ness”. Yet others consider themselves blessed by St. Paul through com¬plaint and murmering about sin, though they themselves live in the midst of sin. Thus, the sects today all find themselves saved by St. Paul. Yes, the number of these sects is now great. They are now around two hundred in number, but if I were to count all the various spiritual persuasions, their number would run into thousands. I wish now to have a quiet conversation with you, my readers. Let me have a large empty house, and one man of each sect assembled in that house; but no more than one from each sect. I would then expect you to be a crowd of around 200 men, whom I would then have speak together, as brethren in Christ, on a particular subject. I would futhermore then expect you to be of one meaning, one mind, one heart, one soul, one faith, one baptism, one doctrine, one Father, and one Saviour. Yes, Jesus, your Saviour, shall be your life and king, and in Him you shall be one; for what He has done for you, and what He, with all things, is in you, is what you are. I therefore require of you all, that you shall be one. But would it be like that in reality, when gartered together like this in the same house, that all of you would be as one and in agreement on this one subject. Would the spirits of the various persuasions keep silent? Would you not start quarreling with one another? I imagine that it would be the greatest hell on earth. I would then cry aloud and say, “How good and pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together!” And I am certain that if St. Paul were in the same house, he would cry out, saying: “Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.” *(Phil. 3:2) See the deceitful workers! *(II Cor. 11:13.) Have I not told you that if anyone defiles the temple of God, the same shall God destroy?”, *(I Cor. 3:17.) furthermore saying, “And now I see that you have defiled the house of God, and for this reason God shall destroy you.” Oh, how St. Paul would condemn you! He could not say that all which pertains to Christ is yours. No, my friends, by reason of all your erring from the true doctrine of God St. Paul could not say, “Peace be unto you,” but rather the opposite: “Be accursed!” What would St. Paul do if he stood forth today? Yes, he would preach the same gospel today as he did when he was here on earth. St. Paul is not alive today, but his words are, and Jesus lives forever, he who now lives in me. He has brought me up according to the living words of St. Paul, which are His own, and He is now preaching, through me, the doctrine of St. Paul unto you. However, you will neither listen or abide by it, for that testimony I have from the Lord. But let me ask you, “If St. Paul were to come and preach the words of his epistles today, would not his preaching be against all the multitude of sects that are now in the world?” Yes, verily, his words tell us so, from which you are all turned away; therefore, the true and only doctrine of God is against you all. Embitter yourselves, if you will, against my preaching; but the same spirit as was in St. Paul, is in me, which is the spirit of old, the good and true spirit of Christ. He who does not have this spirit, is not of the Lord; but as many as have the spirit of Christ, follow the Lamb on the one prepared way of life, which is laid down in the Word. The spirit that strays from the path of Word, is not of the Lord; for the spirit of God does not lead the children of God against the Word, but according to the Word on the one prepared way of life, which lies prepared in the Word. “Hereby know we the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.” *(I John 4:6.) Every spirit that strays, and does not remain in the true doctrine of Christ, is not of God, but of the dragon. But that spirit which walks in the doctrine of Christ, is the spirit of Christ, for no other spirit than God’s own will or can walk in the doctrine of Christ. Read the 1. and 2. epistles of John. Amen. You can now see that the Christianity of today is in a pitiful condition, for when we consider the punishment that the time of the trumpet of the fifth angel contains, we find it to be appalling, for the spirit of falsehood goes under the name of truth, and the dragon is king in the assemblies; for the kingdom of the beast remains until the coming of the man child, then comes the harvest and the end of the world. Yes, then comes the Lord to take back His kingdom, for we see that the time of the pope is 1260 years. When his time is over, the kingdom of God comes again, for the man we read about in Rev. 10 is he whom the Scripture calls the man child. When the Lord brings the man child forth, He decends to dwell among His people, according to Rev. 21:3. Yes, Jesus then sets himself in the man child with the fullness of his right, to put an end to the Dispersion, and in this way bring all back to one again in himself. Yes, thus there shall again be one shepherd and one flock, and thus shall come the judgement and fall of Babylon, since the man who appears in Rev. 10 is the same as he who shall come according to Rev. 18. Yes, when he comes, the Lord comes in him to establish His kingdom in Israel. The Lord will then gather, by this man, all His children unto Himself in his house. See Isa. 11:12, 62:10-12. We see then that the false church comes to an end and receives her judgement, also that the business of her merchants ceases; and that her judgement thus came in an hour. The many ships spoken of in Rev. 18, are the sects. The sea on which the sects sail, is the bottomless sea of erring, and those who steer the ships, are the leaders of the sects. Those who travel on board these sect-ships, are the seamen. The heaven which is spoken of in Rev. 18:20, witn the holy apostles and prophets, is the city and assembly of the living God, which God in Christ Jesus now builds through the man child. It is in this way that the Lord comes to the first resurrection and judgement. Yes, when the first woe is passed, the deceiving power of the beast comes to an end. We see that the whole of the New Testament is divided into seven periods of time, and likewise into three woes. For every period of time the book of Revelation tells us of the sounding of an angel’s trumpet, and at each sounding of a trumpet, a seal is opened. We see that the first five angels are included in the first woe. We see furthermore, that when the first woe is passed, come the two latter woes, seals, and angels. Thus the sixth and seventh angels have each a seal and a woe. We have seen that the time and kingdom of the beast has lasted 1260 years, beginning in the year 666, according to the historical reckoning, though the beast was fiercely active during the sixth century. The spiritual reckoning runs about fifty years ahead of the historical reckoning. So reckon then the time of the beast. In Dan. 7:25 we read concerning the beast, “They shall be given into his hands until a time and times and the dividing of time.” Rev. 13:5 explains that this time is “forty and two months,” and when days are counted as years, forty two months become 1260 years. Dan. says in the following verses (Dan. 7:26-27), “But the judgement shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end. And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.” Here we have the Lord’s own word that the people of God shall again come to their holy inheritance and right; but as already stated, when the given number of years of the beast has passed, God’s kingdom shall come again. The man in Rev. 10 is the sixth angel; when he comes, comes the kingdom of God and the fall of the false church, for the man in Rev. 10 is also the stone which we read about in Dan. 2:34-35, “Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces. Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.” This stone which Daniel speaks of is the man child, or the man in Rev. 10. When he comes, then come the preceeding judgement and the first resurrection. The Lord then smites the image with the stone, the man child; and we see that the image falls, but “The stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.” As we see the image fall and be carried away by the wind, when the man child comes. We then see the stone grow to a great mountain. This mountain that grows out of the stone (the man child), is the kingdom and church of God, which comes and takes the place of the false church; for we read in the same chapter *(Dan. 2:44), “ And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.” Here we see the coming of the millennial reign. We see that a stone was cut out from the mountain; the stone is the man child, and the mountain is the mountain of the false church which has filled the whole earth. But now the Lord smites the mountain or the image with the stone, and we see that by the stone he crushes the image. The image is the Roman empire, which also includes the false church; for when Satan through the pope obtained his deceiving power, he laid the spiritual kingdom in under the protection of the ten Roman kings; therefore, the wordly and spiritual kingdoms are both included in the image, which together constitute one kingdom. It was from this kingdom that the man child (the stone) was cut, and against this same mountain the Lord is seen to smite with the stone, so it crushed. Yes, when the man child comes, then comes the crushing power of God upon all the kingdoms. He then detroys them according to His word, so that the kingdom of God shall receive its full liberty. Thus, at the coming of the man child, the Lord destroys all the earth, in order that the kingdom of God might take the place of the kingdom of the beast. Therefore, when the man child comes, the words to the people of God sound thus: “Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy.” (Hosea 10:12.) “Break up your fallow ground, and sow not among thorns.” (Jer. 4:3.) Yes, this the Lord speaks to the people of the new covenant, saying, “For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind. But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy.” (Isa. 65:17-18.) Here we see the temple, heaven, and church of the new city, in which all things are made new. Yes, this building is God’s building in the spirit, for the house of God is a spiritual building, and the whole of His work is spiritual, and it is clear that the people of God are the house of God. We see that at the coming of the man child, the old vineyard shall be trodden down, according to Isa. 4:1-14. In the 15th verse we see the coming of the man child, and in verses 26-30 we see that he testifies with great power. When the old vineyard, which the first part of Isa. 5 speaks of, comes to an end, then comes the second and new vineyard, which we read of in Isa. 27. Yes, this new vineyard is the church which God in Christ builds through the man child, and we see from the Scripture that it shall never be trodden down again. We see then that the church of the man child shall be the church of God, and it this way comes the new name of Jesus to the world. We can see that Isa. 27:1 accords closely with Rev. 12:6-8. Yes, the Lord fulfills this word in one day. However, we must make sure that we understand the prophetic word correctly. The historical meaning refers to the historical Israel, and the spiritual meaning pertains to the spiritual Israel. However, the Lord will fulfill his word and “make a short work upon the whole earth” (Rom. 9:28), and the Scripture is now giving the solution. No one can prevent the Lord from tearing down and building up. He says, “I will work, and who shall let it?” (Isa. 43:13.) In Amos ch. 3 we read, “Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.” Therefore, let him who wants to follow, now give heed. We have already heard that the man spoken of in Rev. 10 is the beginning of the millennial reign and that he is the one whom the Lord speaks about in Rev. 3:12 when he says, “Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out” Oh, are not these enduring promises of life, just think: “He shall go no more out.” And again the Lord speaks of the man child saying, “And I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.” My beloved friends, I can not repeat often enough these words of life which are given the man child by the mouth of the Prince of Life. We see the significance of the man child in Rev. 10:1. He is there described as a mighty angel “clothed with a cloud: and the rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire.” The explanation of these precious words we shall now hear. His coming down from heaven and having the name “mighty” signifies that God is his strength. That he came down from heaven, means that the time was come when God should descend and dwell among His people. That he was “clothed with a cloud” means that the man child is the cloud in which Jesus is clothed. That the “rainbow is on his head” means that Jesus with all that is His lets himself be born in the man child, for where Jesus dwells with all that is His, there also is His covenant, here signified by the rainbow. Thus the man child has the rainbow on his head as a pledge and a sign that the church of God shall never more fall away, a fact which is also seen from Isa. 54, the spiritual meaning of which is spoken by the Lord to the man child. We see, therefore, that the rainbow is on the man child’s head as a pledge, that the eternal covenant which God in Christ Jesus has made with all people, shall now be confirmed with the man child and his seed forever. In this manner the Lord descends to dwell among His people, and in this manner He also comes to the preceeding judgement. He then annulls His covenant of mercy with all people, but confirms it with the man child; so when the man child comes, the covenant which God in Christ Jesus made with all people, is no longer valid, except in the house of God, which he builds through the man child. In this way there will now be one flock and one shepherd. Yes, thus the Lord fulfills his word spoken in Amos 8:9; Ezek. 32:7-8; Jer. 15:7-9; Joel 3:20. And thus the Lord cuts asunder His second staff, according to Zech. 11. This is how the judgement and fall of Babel, the false church, comes in one hour. We now see that Jesus with all that is his, has taken abode in the man child (Jacob), and also that the man child has the rainbow on his head, as a token and proof that the covenant of mercy shall never depart from him and his seed. As the rainbow in the heavens is a sign of the covenant that God will not destroy the world by water again, so is the rainbow on the man child’s head a sign that the church of God shall no more fall again. It is likewise a sign that no unclean or uncircumcised person shall enter into the city of God. It is also a token that all the promises, which God has given unto his people through His son, are henceforth for their good. We have discussed the meaning of the angel descending from heaven, and shall continue to explain it further. We definitely see that the angel did not come down from heaven as a man; for the man child is not considered to exist as a person, although he is a man. The one who comes down from heaven is God and the Lamb, for Jesus says, “If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.” (John 14:23.) It was in this way, then, that the man child came down from heaven. Yes, when the time came, and the fulfillment of the Scripture was in, that God should descend and create for himself a people whom he would have for a special possession, his jewels, as it is written in Mal. 3:17-18, then was the woman delivered of a man child. See Isa. 66 and Rev. 12. Yes, God then quickened the man child by the promises of life in the Word, which belonged to him, and he became a living stone in Israel. I speak as I do, hoping that you are able to understand what I say, in that you can see from the Scripture that the Lord indeed calls his wittnesses angels. So says the Lord in Mal. 2:7: “For the priest’s lips should keep know¬ledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth: for he is the messenger (or angel*) of the Lord of hosts.”From this we see that the Lord calls his priests, who are made thus through the Son, messengers (or angels). Jesus says in Rev. 1:20, “The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches.” We can now clearly see that the angel in Rev. 10 is a man, even though it is said that he came down from heaven. Yes, when the man child was born Christ came again to earth, to prepare for himself a church and bride, and to lead her and to rule all people through the man child. See: Rev. 2:26-28; 19:15; Isa.30:14, 60:12; Ps. 2:8-9. When it is said that he was “clothed with a cloud” (Rev. 10:1), it also means that he as a man was hidden in lowliness and humility, so that all are not able to see that his spiritual power and right is from God, until it is too late. But we see from the Scripture that it is so, that Jesus with all that is his abides and works in him, leading him according to his spirit and word. We see that it is Jesus who is his life, but in himself, as a man, we see him to be dead. Consequently, Jesus must live in and guide this man, and therefore his face is “as it were the sun” (Rev. 10:1). Yes, the man’s doctrine in Christ Jesus is pure–as the doctrine in Christ Jesus is. And therefore the man’s face is as like the sun. That his feet are as “pillars of fire” means that his spiritual feet are the Spirit’s pillars of fire, since his ways in the word are those of the Spirit, and according to the Word. This means that the Lord walks in him according to the Word. Hence, where this man walks in the Word, there is light about his feet of fiary torches, for we see that this man’s spiritual feet have been purged in the refiner’s furnace, so his ways are those of the Spirit, and against the flesh in every way. Thus his path is after the Lamb on the one prepared way of life, which is the highway in the word, and from his spiritual feet a great light may be seen. In Rev. 10:2 we read, “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.” The open book is the book of Revelation, which is indeed the key to the prophets. Now, the prophetic Scriptures I would liken unto an arithmetic book, with the book of Revelation as its key; for the key gives the solutions to the difficult problems in the arithmetic book, as does the book of Revelations to the hidden mysteries of the prophets. Thus we see that the man child has received the book of God as an inheritance, opened, for the book is included in the inheritance. Yes, he has received the book opened, that he may read therein what has been and what is to come. Yes, God has opened the book for the man child, that he might read of the hidden and mysterious counsel of God. The sea upon which he sets his right foot is the sectarian sea or the sea of religious fanaticism, on which all the sects sail. The earth on which he sets his left foot is the wordly population. We see that from the man child spring the two witnesses. See Rev. 10 and 11; Hab. 3:4; Isa. 7:21: Dan. 12. Oh, how bright it will now be in the city of God, for its light is God and the Lamb. Yes, the light of the gospel in the church of God shall now increase sevenfold; and the light of the law shall be as bright and clear as the light of the gospel has formerly been; but the light of the gospel “shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the Lord bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound.” Isa. 30:26. Yes, when the man child comes, then shall the Lord turn the captivity of Zion, and the people of God will then receive the promises, which we read of in Isa. 30:20-21. Yes, it is so, that the church of God has certain promises never to fall after the coming of the man child; for at his coming the words of the Lord are fulfilled, which are spoken in Micah 4 and 5; Isa. 2, 5, 13, and 19. Yes, at the coming of the man child the Lord fulfills his words appointed for this day, which is to build his house, wherein he will gather his people. It is in this way that the first resurrection and millennial reign come. The Lord shall then govern his people himself and shall cause the unclean spirit to leave the land. Oh, what a blessed day it will be for those who have part in the first resurrection! For it is said that over them the second death will have no power; but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. (Rev. 20:6) Yes, when the man child comes, then shall the devisive work of today’s Christianity cease; for when the sixth angel comes, then comes also the golden altar, the true church, which is the city of God and the Lamb. In this way the Lord descends to dwell among his people, and thus the new Jerusalem and the millennial reign. From the city and church of God spring forth the two witnesses. Read of what they shall do in Rev. 11, and tremble, all you inhabitants of the earth, at their great authority. We see that, as soon as the church of God comes, she takes flight into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there “a thousand two hundred and threescore days,” which is the time allotted the witnesses in the land of Gentiles. Rev. 11:3, (12:6). Yes, as soon as the woman, the church of God, comes, the war in heaven (on the holy ground of the Word) begins. This is the war between Christ and the dragon, between the church of God and the assembly of the dragon, between the witnesses of Christ and the witnesses and angels of Satan; but we see from the Scripture that Christ and his witnesses are victorious, and that Satan and his angels are defeated. Yes, Satan and his angels are cast down to the earth from the sanctuary. Then shall the servants of Satan, who have had the stewardship of the Word of God in their hands, be seen in a more piti¬ful situation than anyone, since no man will appear so hid¬eous and loathsome before God as they will. But then shall the children of God be heared, crying with a loud voice: Hallejujah, the year of jubile is come! “Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.” (Rev. 12:10)* In this manner comes the Lord to the first judgement and resurrection. We see then, that the church of God shall be 1260 years in the land of the Gentiles and in the country of the north. Yes, the prophets all testify to this fact. But when the number of these days is at an end, then shall the time of the sixth angel, sixth seal, and second woe also be at an end. The fullness of the Gentiles shall then be in, and the witnesses shall be suppressed for about three and a half years. After this comes the time of the seventh angel, the seventh seal and third woe. The spirit of life from God shall then again enter into the witnesses, and they shall stand upon their feet. Rev. 12:14 tells us that unto the woman was given the great eagle’s two wings, which are the two witnesses, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is to be nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, away from the face of the serpent. Here we see the woman’s second and last flight. This time, we are told, she flies to her place. The first flight, as we heard, was into the wilderness, where she had a place prepared for her. Here we see the two flights of the woman; but her last flight will be to her place, the land of the jewish people. When the sixth angel’s time is at an end, and the fullness of the Gentiles is come in, then flees the church of God to her place (the land of the jewish people). The Deliverer then comes forth out of Zion to turn ungodliness away from Jacob, and the entire historical Israel will be saved. The Lord will then fulfill the word spoken by his servant St. Paul, when he said, “For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?” (Rom. 11:15.) We see, that by the casting away of the jewish people, the Gentiles obtained reconciliation; but, likewise, when the fullness of the Gentiles is in, comes their casting away, and the receiving of the jewish people. But the people of God of Gentile seed, who then make up the church of God, will be considered as the true Israelites and people of the covenant. They will not be discarded, but the jewish people must be received into to their inheritance, for it is in Jesus that we receive citizenship in Israel. Yes, we see that the Deliverer came out of Zion and turned ungodliness away from Jacob. Yes, then came the true church of God from the land of the Gentiles with the pure doctrine of God and with everything pure and righteous within her. We see that the jewish brought the pure word of life to the Gentile, and the Gentile received life through the living word. But the living jewish died and the Gentile was then called jewish. Now then, when the fullness of the Gentile is in, then shall the living Gentiles bring the word of life to the “dead” jewish people, and they shall receive life through them. The blessings of God shall then vanish from the Gentile world and the people of God shall take their flight to the historical land of the jewish people. At the time the witnesses are suppressed in the land of the Gentiles, we see that Satan has a short time of liberty in which to overcome and kill them. But after the three and a half days the spirit of life enters into them again and they stand up on their feet. The woman then flees to her own place, but “The serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood. And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth. And the dragon was wroth with the woman with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed.” (Rev. 12:15-17) Yes, Satan will go into the Gentile lands to make war, but the gathering place for all the people of God, both jewish and Gentile, will then be in the land of the jewish people. The Lord will then fulfill his words spoken by Jer. 3:18-19. Yes, the woman will then establish her home in the land of the jewish people, and her time there will be “a time, and times, and half a time” (Rev. 12:14), which is the same as that of the beast, which is 42 months or a period of 1260 years. The difference is that the time of the beast is called “a time and times and the dividing of time” (Dan. 7:25), but the time of the woman in the land of the jewish people is called “a time, and times, and half a time.” The different terminology of these numbers gives, however, approximately the same length of time. We find, therefore, that the time of the woman in the land of the jewish people is about the same as her time in the land of the Gentiles, and we know now that her time in the land of the Gentiles is 1260 years; therefore, twice this number of years is included in the period called “the millennial reign.” When the man spoken of in Rev. 10 comes, we see he is the same man spoken of in Rev. 20. We also find in this chapter that when the thousand years are up, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison; however, the third verse tells us that Satan shall be loosed out of his prison; however, the third verse tells us that when the first thousand years are up, which is the time of the church in the Gentile world, Satan shall be loosed for a little season, not to the extent that he will be allowed to carry out any of his winds of false doctrines in the church again, so as to deceive the people–no, he will not succeed in doing so but will be permitted only to persecute the people of God and subdue them for a little season. The people of God will then leave the land of the Gentiles, for the curse of God will then tarry there, but the mercy of God will move and remain with his people. Yes, at the coming of the seventh angel the blessings of God shall again come to the jewish people, in general; for the man of Rev. 10 says in verse 7, “But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall again begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.” The meaning of this verse is what we have already heard concerning the conversion of the jewish people; for when God moves his city and church from the land of the Gentiles, he moves it to the land of the covenant–the land of the jewish people. This city is pure, perfect, holy, bright, and well illuminated, for God and the Lamb are the light thereof. God then calls the “dead” jewish unto himself in his own house and again grafts him into his own olive tree, Jesus; thus, fulfilling the words spoken by St. Paul in Rom, 11. Both jewish people and Gentiles shall then be established under one head, and shall go up from the land (the land of the Gentiles), for the day of Israel shall be great. See Hosea 1:11. The whole Israel shall then be gathered into its own land, both the historical and the spiritual land; yes, both the literal and the spiritual jewish people shall then be gathered there to be as one in Christ Jesus. Oh, what a blessed day it will then be for both jewish and Gentile! That is, for all those who are blessed by being grafted into the Lord Jesus. Truly, the elder brother Esau lost his birthright but the younger brother Jacob did inherit it; thus, the jewish people lost their birthright and stewardship of the household but the man child received the inheritance, for he is the man of Rev. 10, who I am convinced is of Gentile seed. He is also the man whom the Lord speaks about in Isa. 59:17-21. Verily, this is how the seed of the man child shall inherit the birthright as long as the days of heaven (the covenant) last; for he is the one whom the Lord speaks about in Isa. 60:21-22; Isa. 65:9. He is also the man spoken of in Rev. 19, which says, “He had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.” Yes, his seed shall inherit the office of his birthright from children until children’s children, as long as the days of the heaven last. When the people of Israel become grafted into the Lord Jesus, they will then receive their civic right in Israel again. The Lord then fulfills the word which he established with their forefathers; but Jacob inherits the birthright, and Esau will never possess the firstborn right again; because Jacob, the man child, retains it. However, the jewish people will receive their right through the man child, for he is the man of whom the Lord speaks in Rev. 21:7, “He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.” We see, therefore, that the office of the man child is likened unto the office of the levitical priesthood. Yes, we can see by the Scripture that the Lord will set up his office in the man child and his seed, and sit in him with judgement and right and the ruling power of the rod of iron, to reign and govern his people and to keep them all as one in himself; therefore, the man child is also the man whom the Lord speaks of in Rev. 2:27-28, when he says, “And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father. And I will give him the morning star.” He is also the man spoken of in Rev. 3:13, “Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.” From these words in Revelation we find that the Lord has a special, inscrutable thing to do do with the man child and his seed above all his servants. We see that Jesus with all his possession and authority has set up his office in the man child, to thereby uphold his kingdom forever. Yes, the man child is the cloud in which the Lord is wrapped. Such is the coming of the Lord to the first resurrection and judgement. Through the man child the new name of Jesus also comes to the world, because in this one man the Lord will now sit to rule his kingdom with the iron rod, to stress and uphold his, the one doctrine of God, and to disperse the doctrines of falsehood. Upon the man child the name of God is written, for the name of God is seen right in the midst of him. Yes, God builds his city and church in Christ Jesus, through the man child, and by the everlasting gospel which the man child inherits; and he is, therefore, the heir to the gospel of God, for it says he shall inherit everything. With this event comes the last change in the church; the church shall thenceforth never fall again. Read the following passages: Zech. 9:8; Isa. 52:1; Isa. 27; Rev. 21:27; Joel 3:21-26. We see from these words that the gospel of God is henceforth called the everlasting gospel, for the man child is the man who proclaims it (according to Rev. 14.) When the time of the first woe has occurred, then the second woe comes, which is the time of the sixth angel and the sixth seal. It is clear that when the time of the sixth angel begins, the millennial reign comes. It will then not only be the time of the eternal judgement and the destruction of the false church but also the time of the rebuilding of the church of God. The man spoken of in Rev. 20 then comes to fulfill his mission, and the dragon with his deceiving power will then be bound. It wil then be given the witnesses of God to hold judgement. Dan. 7:21-22 shows us that the pope was a horn which “made war with the saints, and prevailed against them; until the ancient of days come, and judgement was given to the saints of the most high, and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.” And again he says, “But the saints of the most high shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever.” (Dan. 7:18.) Dear friends, can you now see the way in which the millennial reign comes? In Rev. 19:6 we hear the people of God in his city saying, “Hallelujah: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.” Therefore, they say in verse 7, “Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.” From this we see that the millennial reign is the kingdom of Christ on earth, which begins when the man spoken of in Rev. 10 comes. He is the sixth angel spoken of in Rev. 9:13. There we see the golden altar, the true church of God, which God in Christ Jesus through the man child has created unto himself; and from this church we see that the two witnesses spring forth; and with their great power they bring vengeance upon the enemy. Yes, we see by the Scripture that the church of God shall war against the false church according to Rev. 12:6-8 and shall have victory over her according to Rev. 12:9. In this way the judgement will be given to the saints of the most high, and in this manner they shall possess the kingdom, for the Lord God omnipotent has assumed his own kingdom and shall reign with power. We now understand that when the sixth seal is opened, the sixth angel comes; so, when the man of Rev. 10 appears, the book is opened; however, the seventh seal is not opened until the seventh angel comes; nevertheless, when the man of Rev. 10 appears, the book is opened; for it reads, “And he had in his hnd a little book open.” (Rev. 10:2.) When the sixth seal is opened we see that a terrible storm comes from the Lord. The sun (Christ) becomes black as sackcloth of hair; and the vengeance of the law (the moon) demands blood. The stars of heaven (the so-called Christian leaders) fall to the earth, even as a fig tree sheds her untimely fruit when she is shaken of a mighty wind. (Rev. 6:12-13-); Ezek. 32:7-9. And the heaven (the Christian assemblies) that exists at the coming of the woman departs as a scroll when it is rolled together, and every mountain and island is moved out of its place. (See Rev. 6:14.) This storm most certainly occurs at the same time that the war between the regime of the dragon and the regime of God is being fought. See Rev. 12:6-8. The opening of the sixth seal takes place at the same time as the coming of the sixth angel; and we see that the man of Rev. 10 begins his mission at the time of the sixth angel and the sixth seal. It is he who ascends 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, saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their forehead.” (Rev. 7:2-3.) We see, therefore, that when the man child comes, he marks the people of God in their foreheads with the mark of the Father; yes, the man child has the stamp or the seal wherewith he seals the servants of God. The Lord says to the man child in Ezek. 9:4, “Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.” This is how the Lord seals his own at the coming of the man child. In Rev. 7 we have the number of them that are to be sealed; and in Rev. 14 we see them standing with the Lamb on Mount Sion having the Father’s name written in their foreheads. Mount Sion, we know, is the true church of God. We again hear the Lord speak by this prophet to those who were to follow the forehead-marker and slay in the city, saying, “Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eyes spare, neither have ye pity; slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary.” Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house. And he said unto them “Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go ye forth.” Just think, the courts are to be filled with the slain! See Rev. 11:2. “And they went forth, and slew in the city. And it came to pass, while they were slaying them, and I was left, that I fell upon my face, and cried, and said, “Ah Lord God! wilt thou destroy all the residue of Israel in thy pouring out of thy fury upon Jerusalem? Then he said unto me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceeding great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of perverseness: for they say, The Lord hath forsaken the earth, and the Lord seeth not. And as for me also, mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity, but I will recompense their way upon their head. And, behold, the man clothed with linen, which had the inkhorn by his side, reported the matter saying, I have done as thou hast commanded me.” My dear friend, when the man child comes to seal the people of God, then shall the fulfillment of these things begin. They that come after him to slay in the city are the seven angels who come out from the new city and church of God, having seven vials of wrath. See Rev. 16. Yes, as soon s the elect of God are sealed, the four angels are loosed who are bound by the great river Euphrates. (Rev. 9:15.) These four angels arer the four principal powers of the world. When they are loosed by the word of God, we shall then see wars and turmoil in the world, for by them shall “the third part of men” be killed. (Rev. 9:18) Such is the beginning of the seven vials of wrath; these seven vials of wrath are included in the four principal plagues which we know by the prophecy are sword, hunger, pestilence, and captivity. These plagues which are resolved for the whole world, begin in earnest as soon as the people of God are sealed in their foreheads; and they include every kind of destruction. We read in Rev. 7:1 that the four angels are standing on the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth, that no wind should blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. These four angels are the four great winds of perversion which are waiting for the day and the hour when they shall be loosed from their bonds by the Word; and when their bonds are dissolved, they will then come to do their appointed work of scattering and destroying ungodliness in these same four winds. Thus will be the judgement, the fall of Babylon, the rebuilding of the church of God, and our gathering to God in his house. In this way the Lord gathers together the tares and binds them in bundles to be burned, but gathers the wheat into the barn. And in this way the Lord comes to the preceeding judgement, which is likened unto the day of Noah! Beginning with II Thess. 2:3 we read consecutively and say with St. Paul, “Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he sitteth in the temple of God, shewing that he is God.” (Rev. 12:9 tells us that Satan in this way deceiveth the whole world.) “Remember ye not, that when I was yet with you, I told you these things? And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders.” Dear friends, are you now able to see by the Scripture the fall of the true church and her restitution again? You should now be able to see that Satan has fulfilled his deceiving power, but that when the Lord comes in the man child, he shall then through this man, by his spirit and his word, consume the ungodly: for when the Lord comes in the man child and the two wienesses, it shall then be the manifestation day of Jesus Christ, and also the day for him to judge. See Mal. 4. Then the Lord through the man child and the witnesses shall do as it is written by Isa. 11:4, “With righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.” Here you see how the Lord shall consume the ungodly. The war in heaven, of which we read in Rev. 12:6-8, shall consume the son of perdition; thus, we have the fall of the church and her restitution again. We can see by the Scripture that the gospel of Christ came from the land of the jewish people, and to this same land it shall return. The church of God shall then remain in the land of the jewish people until the Scripture is fulfilled; but when the Scripture is fulfilled, the Lord shall then come to the great and last judgement and resurrection. The dead in Christ shall then rise first, and we who are alive and who are left 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. I Thess. 4:16-17. But now you must not think that we shall stay with the Lord in the air, as the “air believers” think we shall; no, we shall be caught up with the Lord and be with him where he is forever. Yes, when the Lord comes to his last and great judgement, then those who have done good shall arise to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil shall arise to the resurrection of judgement. Death and hell shall then be cast into the lake of fire, which is the second death; and the disciples and the followers of Satan shall be with him there in eternal suffering; but the disciples and the followers of God shall be with Christ where he himself dwells, up in heaven, forever. Thus is the great last judgement and resurrection. We see that on the day of resurrection each one receives according to his works, as it is recorded in the books, because one’s judgement is pronounced while he still lives in this world; for what one has sown here, that shall he reap there. Yes, everyone shall then receive according to what has been recorded about him in the books. (Rev. 20:12.) He that believes and obeys God here in this world will not come before the judgement, but he that believes and obeys not is already condemned, for he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. (John 3:18.) The Lord knows his own, and when he comes, the dead in Christ shall rise first, and we who remain shall be changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, and we shall thus be vaught up in the clouds with the Lord in the air, and shall ever be with the Lord; not down here, but up there, where he himself is, for he says, “I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.” (John 14:3.) This is how the great last judgement and resurrection comes about. The righteous shall go to the place of the righteous, and the unrighteous shall arise and go to the place of the unrighteous. However, every man is judged according to his works; for not all who go to the lake of fire are punished alike. Jesus says, “And that servant, which knew his Lord’s will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes.” (Luke 12:47-48.) Herein we see that each one shall receive according to his works. Likewise it is in the resurrection of the righteous; one shineth as the sun, another as the moon, and another again as the stars. Thus, the righteous shall receive according to their works in the resurrection of the righteous. We can now clearly see how the great resurrection day will be. Amen. The first resurrection must, of course, take place before the last and great resurrection, and it is certain that the first resurrection will take place when the time of the beast is up; for when the man according to Rev. 10 appears, then comes the first resurrection. There is no doubt that the significance of the first resurrection is our arising from the kingdom of Satan unto the kingdom of God; from the synagogues of Satan to the temple and city of God; from death’s dark grave to the light and liberty of the kingdom of Christ; from the darkness of unbelief to the clear light of faith; and from the bottomless sectarian sea of error to the bottomless sea of grace, which shall be in no other place than in the new city of God. We know, of course, a man must die before he can arise; consequently, all the people of God must die in Adam but be made alive in the Son of God, Christ Jesus; for when he is risen in all the dead, then the people of God are indeed resurrected, because Jesus is called the “resurrection.” This is how the first resurrection comes about, because one is dead for all; therefore, all the people of God must, by the law, be put to death in the Adam nature, so the Son, the only living man, can be the life in all of them. Yes, when he is risen in all of us, we then are all resurrected. He shall then be our king and shall indeed govern us. Thus comes the first resurrection at the beginning of the millennial reign. The millennial reign is the reign of the true church and spiritual kingdom of God here on earth, beginning when the man of Rev. 10 comes. The Bible clearly teaches us that the blessings and peace of God shall not be found except in the new city of God; that is to say, they will be hidden from the people who will not worship God according to the rules of his church. No, these people wil all ve included under the curse of the law, for we find that outside the city are, “Dogs, sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.” (Rev. 22:15.) Yes, outside the city we have the followers of Satan, but inside the city we have the little flock of the Lamb. We have now seen by the prophecy that the first resurrection comes at about the middle of the time of the New Testament. The prophecy also tells us that the man child is the man of whom the Lord speaks in Jer. 15:7-8; Hab. 3; Amos 8:9; Wisdom 18:13-15. We find that the time when the saints shall possess the kingdom, or the time when judgement was given unto them, is near the middle of the time of the New Testament. Lastly, I must tell one and all that Rev. 9:13 is our standpoint today, an I will adjure all of you to prepare yourselves for judgement, because the everlasting gospel is now being proclaimed to you. Amen. — “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.” Rev. 14:6. “He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.” Luke 10:16. “And ye shall eat old store, and bring forth the old because of the new.” Lev.26:10. “And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish. But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved. No man also having drunk old wine straightway desireth new: for he saith, The old is better.” Luke 5:37-39. “In that day sing ye unto her, A vineyard of red wine.” Isa. 27:2. “And in this mountain shall the Lord of hosts make unto all people a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined. And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the veil that is spread over all nations.” Isa. 25:6-7. “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” Matt. 11:28.

I WAS TOLD TO COME HERE AND POST, PLEASE READ! The true and legitimate explanation of prophecies concerning: Quoting: PehJeshuah 722418 The fall of the church of God; Babylon, the false church, and her judgement and fall; “The first resurrection”, which is the rebuilding of the church of God; The millennial reign, and the great last judgement and resurrection day of all. In the life and wisdom of Jesus, I shall now in His name give the true ex¬planation of this deep mystery; for Jesus, my wisdom, has revealed it unto me. Since this matter concerns the salvation of all, it must be carefully studied; and I declare unto all people that the changing of the time is now at hand; moreover, there is no falsehood in this explanation; therefore, let him who thirsts after the true explanation of these spiritual things, take them to heart, and turn to God with a diligent searching of the Scripture, and he shall find that these sayings are true. Yes, if anyone receiving this message will listen with an open mind to the revelation of Jesus and follow Him wherever He goes in the Word, then indeed shall the Lord by this simple message lead him to the city of God and the Lamb. “He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.” (Rev. 2:29.)* “And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whoso¬ever will, let him take the water of life freely.” (Rev. 22:17:) Amen. Dear friends! I am sure you will see from the Scripture that the true church of God has fallen; and it is also clear that this happened with the coming of the Pope into the world; for when he came, Satan, through him, achieved his deceiving power, which was to cast down truth to earth and exalt the power of falsehood in its place. We see from Rev. 13 that the Pope is the beast, which has seven heads and ten horns, and which rose up out of the sea. Furthermore, we see that the dragon (Satan) gave the beast his power, and his seat, and great authority; also, that “there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and power to continue forty and two months. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle (which is the church of God), and them that dwell in heaven (the spiritual heaven of God, the heaven of grace, or the kingdom of Christ). “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.” Here we see him that Dan. 7:25 speaks, saying, “And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.” Here we see the beast spoken of in Rev. 13. We see that his power to deceive shall continue for “a time, times and an half,” which is “forty and two months,” a period of 1260 years. One prophetic day in this language represents one year, or one year a day, and thus time is calculated in prophecy.*(See Ezek. 4:6) We see then that this is the man, that, in the days of St. St. Paul, was yet held back by the truth; for as long as the ruler of truth possessed the ruling power over and among his people, the ruler of unrighteousness could not overcome them. “Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey.” (Rom. 6:16) Satan had no power over the people of God as long as they were led by the Lord, for He had bruised the head of Satan and had won full victory over him. Satan could never overcome the people of God as long as they were the clay and the Lord was the potter, because as long as the people of God were led by the Lord they were one with Him, and Satan can never overcome the Lord. We see the fall of the church in Matt. 13, where Jesus speaks the parable about His kingdom, saying, “The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.” Here we see the fall of the church–men slept. The people fell asleep but Satan stayed awake, watching the time; for as soon as the people of God were asleep he came and sowed his seed in God’s field, and the people of God were not aware of it until it was sprung up. Thus we see how Satan accomplished his work; but when the servants of the householder, the witnesses of God who still remained true, saw it, they came and said unto the Lord, “Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?” He then answered them saying, “An enemy hath done this.” So the servants asked him, “Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?” But He said, “Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.” We see here how Satan through craft overcame the people of God. He could do nothing to them as long as the Lord was leading and guiding them, but the dragon was just as subtle as when he deceived Eve. He mixed together a sweet, pleasant an carnal drink, which is called a sleeping draught. This he tricked the children of God into drinking, and when they had drunk of it, they became drowsy and fell asleep. “Well done,” said the dragon. We see now, that Satan first put the children of God to sleep and then sowed his seed in God’s field, and in this way came the son of perdition arose and the falling away. As the the tares grew, the wheat died out. Thus Satan overcame the people of God, and in this way arose his governor on earth, the pope, the son of perdition, who prevailed over the saints, destroying them. However, those whom he bodily slew for the sake of the truth were not deceived, only those who received the mark of the beast and worshipped God contrary to the rules which the church had while she yet was true. The pope persecuted and destroyed all those who would not worship God according to his rule. He destroyed all who held to the old truth, for it was given in his power according to prophecy to cast down the truth in this way as punishment for sin. For St. St. Paul says, “Because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion” (which he has sent), “that they should believe a lie” (which they have done).* (II Thes. 2:10-11.) Here we see the cause of the great punishment that God allowed to come over the church. They were soon persuaded by Satan, and became selfish and drowsy, and they ignored the precious grace of God, not allowing the Lord to govern them in everything; therefore, God gave them over to a reprobate mind.* Rom. 1:28; (II Pet. 2.) They soon became weary of following the path of the cross; for we see that as long as the people of God were persecuted, the church remained true; but when Satan got them to drink of his sleeping draught, the simple life of grace died in them. Yes, Jesus with His life and power in and over the bride then died out. The Old Adam came to life in them instead, carrying the name of Christ, having the name “living”, but being dead. In this way the Son of Perdition took abode in their hearts. Yes, as soon as true death in Adam ceased, then ceased likewise the true life of Jesus in them. In this way the daily sacrifice was given up, and “the abomination that maketh desolate” was set up. *(Dan. 12:11; 11:31.) Yes, then Satan gained his deceiving power over the host (the people of God), for the host was given up together with the daily sacrifice. He was then able to cast the truth to the earth and to practise and prosper. Thus Christ was cut off from the earth, and the church fell from God to Satan. This they received as a punishment for their sin against the Lord; for they became weary of walking the trying way of the cross. St. Paul says in II Tim. 4:3-4, “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; and they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.” We see that this indeed happened, as Satan achieved his deceiving power in the pope, to work for a period of 1260 years, which according to prophecy had its beginning in the year 666. All this is certain and true. According to the spiritual reckoning his time is now at an end, but according to the historical reckoning he has yet a few years left. *(i.e. 1926.) The Scripture shows us literally that the falling away has taken place, and that Satan has set himself in God’s temple, purporting to be God, and in this way deceiving the whole world. *(Rev.12:9.) Yes, thus Satan overcame the people of God, for “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.” *(Rev. 13:7-8.) Here we see the terrible fall of the church from God unto Satan; from the liberty of the gospel to the curse of the law; from life and eternal glory unto eternal death and torment; and from the true worship of God unto the worship of idols, which is the worship of the beast, wherein the dragon is king. So we now see the the fall of the church and the dispersion of the children of God, away from God and His house–their land and true home–unto the dragon, idolatry and adultery: yes, where they all remain today; for thus says the Lord in Jer. 5:7: “How shall I pardon thee for this? thy children have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are no gods: when I had fed them to the full, they then committed adultery, and assembled themselves by troops in the harlots’ houses.” Here we have the spiritual meaning of these words of the Lord, which accord exactly with the falling away of the church in the New Testament. We see that this is what has happened, for the Scripture terms a church which is not of God, “a house of harlots,” and of the most abominable kind, for in the fellowship where God is not king, the dragon is king. Now, it is only the church of the pope which is false; no, but she is the mother of all the others. We find that at the time when Luther appeared, the papal church was queen over the whole world; but we see that later, in her old age, she became very productive. When Luther came, the truth of God came through and with him, to some extent, for it is true that the beast was then wounded to death by the sword of the truth. However, that deadly wound was healed, and the whole world followed after the beast with wonder. That the wound of the beast was healed signifies that the truth in those days was not fully allowed to do its work by and according to the Word. The Lord did begin in Luther, that through His witnesses He might rule His bride and church; but the Lord lost the hold he had on Luther, and the truth reverted again to God, so that which then was called the church, was subjected to state and kingdom, and became thus nothing more than a daughter to the pope-mother. You can say what will, you who oppose this truth, these words are nevertheless true. God’s own word explains these things to us, and all eternity shall stand as a witness between you, who resist this truth, and me, and show that I tell the truth in Christ Jesus and lie not. The day now at hand shall fully explain this whole matter. Take note then of this: Luther was the fourth angel; but the fifth angel came around the time of Pontoppidan. I do not say that Pontoppidan was the fifth angel, keeping that matter to myself to avoid causing to much commotion; but it is true that the locusts and their king, which Rev. 9 speaks of, appeared at that time. I do testify unto death, that all these locusts, which came out of the smoke from the bottomless pit, were nothing but the false priesthood, for it was at that time they came forth. We see that they eat up the spiritual crop. They were and are the creatures of punishment, but the Scripture calls them grasshoppers. See what the Lord says in Ezek. 2:6; Amos 7:1-10. At about that time the sect swarm came forth in full, so the darkness, zeal, and error regarding God and His word have never been so terrible as during the last one hundred and fifty years. Yes, the book of Revelation shows us clearly that from the fifth angel until the time of the sixth angel great darkness prevailed over the word of God. We can plainly see that the kingdom of the beast did not cease with the coming of Luther; oh no, it has never flourished so gloriously as from the time the beast received its deadly wound, for when the wound was healed, the beast became so refined and beautiful that the whole world followed after it with wonder. Yeah, the children of truth have had no liberty to follow the Word during these years of punishment. It is true, however, that God has had children among all this, even until the time of the harvest. It is also true and undeniable that where God has children, He himself has brought them forth by and according to His Word. Yeah, He has, by the law, slain Adam in them, and by the gospel He has raised the Son in them. “He that hath the Son hath life,” *(I John 5:12) and he who has the life of God, serves God in His life, does God’s will in His life, not serving himself or Satan, but God in His life. This is the true way and form of the rebirth, so all those that are born according to this rule, are His children and corns of wheat. But those that are not born of God according to His rule, are neither God’s children nor corns of wheat. The Scripture clearly shows us that this is so. We see from the Scripture that corns of wheat still stand here and there. If, however, such a corn of wheat during these years of punish¬ment ever tried to stand up with the right of the word of God, it would never succeed, for the time of the beast was not yet at an end, since there was given it a fixed period of time to tread down the truth and to keep falsehood on the throne, by which to deceive souls. We see also that, generally speaking, the beast’s reign of power is 1260 years, that is, beginning in the year 666. We see likewise that the power of the beast was such that no man could buy or sell save him who had the mark or name of the beast or the number of its name. Yes, thus has been the deceiving power of Satan, that if perchance anyone would preach the gospel of God, as it is in Christ Jesus, he would be banned or murdered, or subjugated in some way; for Satan, while he was free, would not permit any true witness to come forth. No, he suppressed the truth, unto which he has 7 heads and 10 horns. The seven heads are seven main doctrines of falsehood. The ten horns are the ten earthly kings of Rome, with which the dragon defends the seven doctrines. So the witnesses of God gained no victory during this period of time; for the people would neither believe nor accept anyone coming forth to preach the gospel of God without having the creed of Luther, Wesley, Pontoppidan, or any of the other winds of doctrine of today. We have now come to the very core of this mystery. Just see how a person must be marked with the name of Luther or Pontoppidan, etc., for if their names or doctrines are not professed, then no one will believe or accept him. “No man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” *(Rev. 13:17.) So even if St. St. Paul or any of the other apostles came back today and did not profess the doctrine of Luther, or any of the other doctrines of today, the people, having the spirit of the dragon in them, would not receive him. This spirit represents itself as the spirit of Christ. They would therefore even answer back to St. St. Paul, if he came to them today to preach, and call him a zealot and a deceiver. They would tell him straight to his face, for not professing their doctrines, that he had fallen from the simplicity of Christ. Yes, they would even say that if an angel from heaven came and preached a different gospel to the one they preach, they would say he was accursed; And, of course, if the apostles came back today, they would receive only everlasting damnation from these so-called Christians. The reason is that the dragon lives in them, representing himself as Christ. They have though the household of God in their hands and arrogate the right of the Word according to their own choosing, but all to the pleasure of the dragon, since it is he who rules in them. The false church is under the protection of the ten kings, so no one can buy or sell save those who have the mark of the beast or the number of its name. Is it not strange, that among all the peoples and beliefs which we have today, there is not one man like St. St. Paul or any of the true witnessess of God, wholly driven and governed by Jesus, who preaches the gospel of God as the apostles and the true witnesses did? No, there is no one today, who is cut off from all the dragon’s creeds and winds of doctrine. Oh, how it would love to see St. St. Paul risen again and preaching today as he did in those days. Now every sect claims to have the doctrine of St. Paul. The Lutheran church claims St. Paul’s doctrine; likewise the Reformed Church; also the Cath¬olic church lays claim to the parts of St. Paul’s teaching that suit her. The Methodist makes himself “sinless” with the doctrine of St. Paul. Another sect finds it appropriate by the same doctrine to baptize itself “to holi¬ness”. Yet others consider themselves blessed by St. Paul through com¬plaint and murmering about sin, though they themselves live in the midst of sin. Thus, the sects today all find themselves saved by St. Paul. Yes, the number of these sects is now great. They are now around two hundred in number, but if I were to count all the various spiritual persuasions, their number would run into thousands. I wish now to have a quiet conversation with you, my readers. Let me have a large empty house, and one man of each sect assembled in that house; but no more than one from each sect. I would then expect you to be a crowd of around 200 men, whom I would then have speak together, as brethren in Christ, on a particular subject. I would futhermore then expect you to be of one meaning, one mind, one heart, one soul, one faith, one baptism, one doctrine, one Father, and one Saviour. Yes, Jesus, your Saviour, shall be your life and king, and in Him you shall be one; for what He has done for you, and what He, with all things, is in you, is what you are. I therefore require of you all, that you shall be one. But would it be like that in reality, when gartered together like this in the same house, that all of you would be as one and in agreement on this one subject. Would the spirits of the various persuasions keep silent? Would you not start quarreling with one another? I imagine that it would be the greatest hell on earth. I would then cry aloud and say, “How good and pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together!” And I am certain that if St. Paul were in the same house, he would cry out, saying: “Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.” *(Phil. 3:2) See the deceitful workers! *(II Cor. 11:13.) Have I not told you that if anyone defiles the temple of God, the same shall God destroy?”, *(I Cor. 3:17.) furthermore saying, “And now I see that you have defiled the house of God, and for this reason God shall destroy you.” Oh, how St. Paul would condemn you! He could not say that all which pertains to Christ is yours. No, my friends, by reason of all your erring from the true doctrine of God St. Paul could not say, “Peace be unto you,” but rather the opposite: “Be accursed!” What would St. Paul do if he stood forth today? Yes, he would preach the same gospel today as he did when he was here on earth. St. Paul is not alive today, but his words are, and Jesus lives forever, he who now lives in me. He has brought me up according to the living words of St. Paul, which are His own, and He is now preaching, through me, the doctrine of St. Paul unto you. However, you will neither listen or abide by it, for that testimony I have from the Lord. But let me ask you, “If St. Paul were to come and preach the words of his epistles today, would not his preaching be against all the multitude of sects that are now in the world?” Yes, verily, his words tell us so, from which you are all turned away; therefore, the true and only doctrine of God is against you all. Embitter yourselves, if you will, against my preaching; but the same spirit as was in St. Paul, is in me, which is the spirit of old, the good and true spirit of Christ. He who does not have this spirit, is not of the Lord; but as many as have the spirit of Christ, follow the Lamb on the one prepared way of life, which is laid down in the Word. The spirit that strays from the path of Word, is not of the Lord; for the spirit of God does not lead the children of God against the Word, but according to the Word on the one prepared way of life, which lies prepared in the Word. “Hereby know we the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.” *(I John 4:6.) Every spirit that strays, and does not remain in the true doctrine of Christ, is not of God, but of the dragon. But that spirit which walks in the doctrine of Christ, is the spirit of Christ, for no other spirit than God’s own will or can walk in the doctrine of Christ. Read the 1. and 2. epistles of John. Amen. You can now see that the Christianity of today is in a pitiful condition, for when we consider the punishment that the time of the trumpet of the fifth angel contains, we find it to be appalling, for the spirit of falsehood goes under the name of truth, and the dragon is king in the assemblies; for the kingdom of the beast remains until the coming of the man child, then comes the harvest and the end of the world. Yes, then comes the Lord to take back His kingdom, for we see that the time of the pope is 1260 years. When his time is over, the kingdom of God comes again, for the man we read about in Rev. 10 is he whom the Scripture calls the man child. When the Lord brings the man child forth, He decends to dwell among His people, according to Rev. 21:3. Yes, Jesus then sets himself in the man child with the fullness of his right, to put an end to the Dispersion, and in this way bring all back to one again in himself. Yes, thus there shall again be one shepherd and one flock, and thus shall come the judgement and fall of Babylon, since the man who appears in Rev. 10 is the same as he who shall come according to Rev. 18. Yes, when he comes, the Lord comes in him to establish His kingdom in Israel. The Lord will then gather, by this man, all His children unto Himself in his house. See Isa. 11:12, 62:10-12. We see then that the false church comes to an end and receives her judgement, also that the business of her merchants ceases; and that her judgement thus came in an hour. The many ships spoken of in Rev. 18, are the sects. The sea on which the sects sail, is the bottomless sea of erring, and those who steer the ships, are the leaders of the sects. Those who travel on board these sect-ships, are the seamen. The heaven which is spoken of in Rev. 18:20, witn the holy apostles and prophets, is the city and assembly of the living God, which God in Christ Jesus now builds through the man child. It is in this way that the Lord comes to the first resurrection and judgement. Yes, when the first woe is passed, the deceiving power of the beast comes to an end. We see that the whole of the New Testament is divided into seven periods of time, and likewise into three woes. For every period of time the book of Revelation tells us of the sounding of an angel’s trumpet, and at each sounding of a trumpet, a seal is opened. We see that the first five angels are included in the first woe. We see furthermore, that when the first woe is passed, come the two latter woes, seals, and angels. Thus the sixth and seventh angels have each a seal and a woe. We have seen that the time and kingdom of the beast has lasted 1260 years, beginning in the year 666, according to the historical reckoning, though the beast was fiercely active during the sixth century. The spiritual reckoning runs about fifty years ahead of the historical reckoning. So reckon then the time of the beast. In Dan. 7:25 we read concerning the beast, “They shall be given into his hands until a time and times and the dividing of time.” Rev. 13:5 explains that this time is “forty and two months,” and when days are counted as years, forty two months become 1260 years. Dan. says in the following verses (Dan. 7:26-27), “But the judgement shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end. And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.” Here we have the Lord’s own word that the people of God shall again come to their holy inheritance and right; but as already stated, when the given number of years of the beast has passed, God’s kingdom shall come again. The man in Rev. 10 is the sixth angel; when he comes, comes the kingdom of God and the fall of the false church, for the man in Rev. 10 is also the stone which we read about in Dan. 2:34-35, “Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces. Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.” This stone which Daniel speaks of is the man child, or the man in Rev. 10. When he comes, then come the preceeding judgement and the first resurrection. The Lord then smites the image with the stone, the man child; and we see that the image falls, but “The stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.” As we see the image fall and be carried away by the wind, when the man child comes. We then see the stone grow to a great mountain. This mountain that grows out of the stone (the man child), is the kingdom and church of God, which comes and takes the place of the false church; for we read in the same chapter *(Dan. 2:44), “ And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.” Here we see the coming of the millennial reign. We see that a stone was cut out from the mountain; the stone is the man child, and the mountain is the mountain of the false church which has filled the whole earth. But now the Lord smites the mountain or the image with the stone, and we see that by the stone he crushes the image. The image is the Roman empire, which also includes the false church; for when Satan through the pope obtained his deceiving power, he laid the spiritual kingdom in under the protection of the ten Roman kings; therefore, the wordly and spiritual kingdoms are both included in the image, which together constitute one kingdom. It was from this kingdom that the man child (the stone) was cut, and against this same mountain the Lord is seen to smite with the stone, so it crushed. Yes, when the man child comes, then comes the crushing power of God upon all the kingdoms. He then detroys them according to His word, so that the kingdom of God shall receive its full liberty. Thus, at the coming of the man child, the Lord destroys all the earth, in order that the kingdom of God might take the place of the kingdom of the beast. Therefore, when the man child comes, the words to the people of God sound thus: “Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy.” (Hosea 10:12.) “Break up your fallow ground, and sow not among thorns.” (Jer. 4:3.) Yes, this the Lord speaks to the people of the new covenant, saying, “For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind. But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy.” (Isa. 65:17-18.) Here we see the temple, heaven, and church of the new city, in which all things are made new. Yes, this building is God’s building in the spirit, for the house of God is a spiritual building, and the whole of His work is spiritual, and it is clear that the people of God are the house of God. We see that at the coming of the man child, the old vineyard shall be trodden down, according to Isa. 4:1-14. In the 15th verse we see the coming of the man child, and in verses 26-30 we see that he testifies with great power. When the old vineyard, which the first part of Isa. 5 speaks of, comes to an end, then comes the second and new vineyard, which we read of in Isa. 27. Yes, this new vineyard is the church which God in Christ builds through the man child, and we see from the Scripture that it shall never be trodden down again. We see then that the church of the man child shall be the church of God, and it this way comes the new name of Jesus to the world. We can see that Isa. 27:1 accords closely with Rev. 12:6-8. Yes, the Lord fulfills this word in one day. However, we must make sure that we understand the prophetic word correctly. The historical meaning refers to the historical Israel, and the spiritual meaning pertains to the spiritual Israel. However, the Lord will fulfill his word and “make a short work upon the whole earth” (Rom. 9:28), and the Scripture is now giving the solution. No one can prevent the Lord from tearing down and building up. He says, “I will work, and who shall let it?” (Isa. 43:13.) In Amos ch. 3 we read, “Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.” Therefore, let him who wants to follow, now give heed. We have already heard that the man spoken of in Rev. 10 is the beginning of the millennial reign and that he is the one whom the Lord speaks about in Rev. 3:12 when he says, “Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out” Oh, are not these enduring promises of life, just think: “He shall go no more out.” And again the Lord speaks of the man child saying, “And I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.” My beloved friends, I can not repeat often enough these words of life which are given the man child by the mouth of the Prince of Life. We see the significance of the man child in Rev. 10:1. He is there described as a mighty angel “clothed with a cloud: and the rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire.” The explanation of these precious words we shall now hear. His coming down from heaven and having the name “mighty” signifies that God is his strength. That he came down from heaven, means that the time was come when God should descend and dwell among His people. That he was “clothed with a cloud” means that the man child is the cloud in which Jesus is clothed. That the “rainbow is on his head” means that Jesus with all that is His lets himself be born in the man child, for where Jesus dwells with all that is His, there also is His covenant, here signified by the rainbow. Thus the man child has the rainbow on his head as a pledge and a sign that the church of God shall never more fall away, a fact which is also seen from Isa. 54, the spiritual meaning of which is spoken by the Lord to the man child. We see, therefore, that the rainbow is on the man child’s head as a pledge, that the eternal covenant which God in Christ Jesus has made with all people, shall now be confirmed with the man child and his seed forever. In this manner the Lord descends to dwell among His people, and in this manner He also comes to the preceeding judgement. He then annulls His covenant of mercy with all people, but confirms it with the man child; so when the man child comes, the covenant which God in Christ Jesus made with all people, is no longer valid, except in the house of God, which he builds through the man child. In this way there will now be one flock and one shepherd. Yes, thus the Lord fulfills his word spoken in Amos 8:9; Ezek. 32:7-8; Jer. 15:7-9; Joel 3:20. And thus the Lord cuts asunder His second staff, according to Zech. 11. This is how the judgement and fall of Babel, the false church, comes in one hour. We now see that Jesus with all that is his, has taken abode in the man child (Jacob), and also that the man child has the rainbow on his head, as a token and proof that the covenant of mercy shall never depart from him and his seed. As the rainbow in the heavens is a sign of the covenant that God will not destroy the world by water again, so is the rainbow on the man child’s head a sign that the church of God shall no more fall again. It is likewise a sign that no unclean or uncircumcised person shall enter into the city of God. It is also a token that all the promises, which God has given unto his people through His son, are henceforth for their good. We have discussed the meaning of the angel descending from heaven, and shall continue to explain it further. We definitely see that the angel did not come down from heaven as a man; for the man child is not considered to exist as a person, although he is a man. The one who comes down from heaven is God and the Lamb, for Jesus says, “If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.” (John 14:23.) It was in this way, then, that the man child came down from heaven. Yes, when the time came, and the fulfillment of the Scripture was in, that God should descend and create for himself a people whom he would have for a special possession, his jewels, as it is written in Mal. 3:17-18, then was the woman delivered of a man child. See Isa. 66 and Rev. 12. Yes, God then quickened the man child by the promises of life in the Word, which belonged to him, and he became a living stone in Israel. I speak as I do, hoping that you are able to understand what I say, in that you can see from the Scripture that the Lord indeed calls his wittnesses angels. So says the Lord in Mal. 2:7: “For the priest’s lips should keep know¬ledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth: for he is the messenger (or angel*) of the Lord of hosts.”From this we see that the Lord calls his priests, who are made thus through the Son, messengers (or angels). Jesus says in Rev. 1:20, “The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches.” We can now clearly see that the angel in Rev. 10 is a man, even though it is said that he came down from heaven. Yes, when the man child was born Christ came again to earth, to prepare for himself a church and bride, and to lead her and to rule all people through the man child. See: Rev. 2:26-28; 19:15; Isa.30:14, 60:12; Ps. 2:8-9. When it is said that he was “clothed with a cloud” (Rev. 10:1), it also means that he as a man was hidden in lowliness and humility, so that all are not able to see that his spiritual power and right is from God, until it is too late. But we see from the Scripture that it is so, that Jesus with all that is his abides and works in him, leading him according to his spirit and word. We see that it is Jesus who is his life, but in himself, as a man, we see him to be dead. Consequently, Jesus must live in and guide this man, and therefore his face is “as it were the sun” (Rev. 10:1). Yes, the man’s doctrine in Christ Jesus is pure–as the doctrine in Christ Jesus is. And therefore the man’s face is as like the sun. That his feet are as “pillars of fire” means that his spiritual feet are the Spirit’s pillars of fire, since his ways in the word are those of the Spirit, and according to the Word. This means that the Lord walks in him according to the Word. Hence, where this man walks in the Word, there is light about his feet of fiary torches, for we see that this man’s spiritual feet have been purged in the refiner’s furnace, so his ways are those of the Spirit, and against the flesh in every way. Thus his path is after the Lamb on the one prepared way of life, which is the highway in the word, and from his spiritual feet a great light may be seen. In Rev. 10:2 we read, “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.” The open book is the book of Revelation, which is indeed the key to the prophets. Now, the prophetic Scriptures I would liken unto an arithmetic book, with the book of Revelation as its key; for the key gives the solutions to the difficult problems in the arithmetic book, as does the book of Revelations to the hidden mysteries of the prophets. Thus we see that the man child has received the book of God as an inheritance, opened, for the book is included in the inheritance. Yes, he has received the book opened, that he may read therein what has been and what is to come. Yes, God has opened the book for the man child, that he might read of the hidden and mysterious counsel of God. The sea upon which he sets his right foot is the sectarian sea or the sea of religious fanaticism, on which all the sects sail. The earth on which he sets his left foot is the wordly population. We see that from the man child spring the two witnesses. See Rev. 10 and 11; Hab. 3:4; Isa. 7:21: Dan. 12. Oh, how bright it will now be in the city of God, for its light is God and the Lamb. Yes, the light of the gospel in the church of God shall now increase sevenfold; and the light of the law shall be as bright and clear as the light of the gospel has formerly been; but the light of the gospel “shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the Lord bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound.” Isa. 30:26. Yes, when the man child comes, then shall the Lord turn the captivity of Zion, and the people of God will then receive the promises, which we read of in Isa. 30:20-21. Yes, it is so, that the church of God has certain promises never to fall after the coming of the man child; for at his coming the words of the Lord are fulfilled, which are spoken in Micah 4 and 5; Isa. 2, 5, 13, and 19. Yes, at the coming of the man child the Lord fulfills his words appointed for this day, which is to build his house, wherein he will gather his people. It is in this way that the first resurrection and millennial reign come. The Lord shall then govern his people himself and shall cause the unclean spirit to leave the land. Oh, what a blessed day it will be for those who have part in the first resurrection! For it is said that over them the second death will have no power; but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. (Rev. 20:6) Yes, when the man child comes, then shall the devisive work of today’s Christianity cease; for when the sixth angel comes, then comes also the golden altar, the true church, which is the city of God and the Lamb. In this way the Lord descends to dwell among his people, and thus the new Jerusalem and the millennial reign. From the city and church of God spring forth the two witnesses. Read of what they shall do in Rev. 11, and tremble, all you inhabitants of the earth, at their great authority. We see that, as soon as the church of God comes, she takes flight into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there “a thousand two hundred and threescore days,” which is the time allotted the witnesses in the land of Gentiles. Rev. 11:3, (12:6). Yes, as soon as the woman, the church of God, comes, the war in heaven (on the holy ground of the Word) begins. This is the war between Christ and the dragon, between the church of God and the assembly of the dragon, between the witnesses of Christ and the witnesses and angels of Satan; but we see from the Scripture that Christ and his witnesses are victorious, and that Satan and his angels are defeated. Yes, Satan and his angels are cast down to the earth from the sanctuary. Then shall the servants of Satan, who have had the stewardship of the Word of God in their hands, be seen in a more piti¬ful situation than anyone, since no man will appear so hid¬eous and loathsome before God as they will. But then shall the children of God be heared, crying with a loud voice: Hallejujah, the year of jubile is come! “Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.” (Rev. 12:10)* In this manner comes the Lord to the first judgement and resurrection. We see then, that the church of God shall be 1260 years in the land of the Gentiles and in the country of the north. Yes, the prophets all testify to this fact. But when the number of these days is at an end, then shall the time of the sixth angel, sixth seal, and second woe also be at an end. The fullness of the Gentiles shall then be in, and the witnesses shall be suppressed for about three and a half years. After this comes the time of the seventh angel, the seventh seal and third woe. The spirit of life from God shall then again enter into the witnesses, and they shall stand upon their feet. Rev. 12:14 tells us that unto the woman was given the great eagle’s two wings, which are the two witnesses, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is to be nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, away from the face of the serpent. Here we see the woman’s second and last flight. This time, we are told, she flies to her place. The first flight, as we heard, was into the wilderness, where she had a place prepared for her. Here we see the two flights of the woman; but her last flight will be to her place, the land of the jewish people. When the sixth angel’s time is at an end, and the fullness of the Gentiles is come in, then flees the church of God to her place (the land of the jewish people). The Deliverer then comes forth out of Zion to turn ungodliness away from Jacob, and the entire historical Israel will be saved. The Lord will then fulfill the word spoken by his servant St. Paul, when he said, “For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?” (Rom. 11:15.) We see, that by the casting away of the jewish people, the Gentiles obtained reconciliation; but, likewise, when the fullness of the Gentiles is in, comes their casting away, and the receiving of the jewish people. But the people of God of Gentile seed, who then make up the church of God, will be considered as the true Israelites and people of the covenant. They will not be discarded, but the jewish people must be received into to their inheritance, for it is in Jesus that we receive citizenship in Israel. Yes, we see that the Deliverer came out of Zion and turned ungodliness away from Jacob. Yes, then came the true church of God from the land of the Gentiles with the pure doctrine of God and with everything pure and righteous within her. We see that the jewish brought the pure word of life to the Gentile, and the Gentile received life through the living word. But the living jewish died and the Gentile was then called jewish. Now then, when the fullness of the Gentile is in, then shall the living Gentiles bring the word of life to the “dead” jewish people, and they shall receive life through them. The blessings of God shall then vanish from the Gentile world and the people of God shall take their flight to the historical land of the jewish people. At the time the witnesses are suppressed in the land of the Gentiles, we see that Satan has a short time of liberty in which to overcome and kill them. But after the three and a half days the spirit of life enters into them again and they stand up on their feet. The woman then flees to her own place, but “The serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood. And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth. And the dragon was wroth with the woman with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed.” (Rev. 12:15-17) Yes, Satan will go into the Gentile lands to make war, but the gathering place for all the people of God, both jewish and Gentile, will then be in the land of the jewish people. The Lord will then fulfill his words spoken by Jer. 3:18-19. Yes, the woman will then establish her home in the land of the jewish people, and her time there will be “a time, and times, and half a time” (Rev. 12:14), which is the same as that of the beast, which is 42 months or a period of 1260 years. The difference is that the time of the beast is called “a time and times and the dividing of time” (Dan. 7:25), but the time of the woman in the land of the jewish people is called “a time, and times, and half a time.” The different terminology of these numbers gives, however, approximately the same length of time. We find, therefore, that the time of the woman in the land of the jewish people is about the same as her time in the land of the Gentiles, and we know now that her time in the land of the Gentiles is 1260 years; therefore, twice this number of years is included in the period called “the millennial reign.” When the man spoken of in Rev. 10 comes, we see he is the same man spoken of in Rev. 20. We also find in this chapter that when the thousand years are up, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison; however, the third verse tells us that Satan shall be loosed out of his prison; however, the third verse tells us that when the first thousand years are up, which is the time of the church in the Gentile world, Satan shall be loosed for a little season, not to the extent that he will be allowed to carry out any of his winds of false doctrines in the church again, so as to deceive the people–no, he will not succeed in doing so but will be permitted only to persecute the people of God and subdue them for a little season. The people of God will then leave the land of the Gentiles, for the curse of God will then tarry there, but the mercy of God will move and remain with his people. Yes, at the coming of the seventh angel the blessings of God shall again come to the jewish people, in general; for the man of Rev. 10 says in verse 7, “But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall again begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.” The meaning of this verse is what we have already heard concerning the conversion of the jewish people; for when God moves his city and church from the land of the Gentiles, he moves it to the land of the covenant–the land of the jewish people. This city is pure, perfect, holy, bright, and well illuminated, for God and the Lamb are the light thereof. God then calls the “dead” jewish unto himself in his own house and again grafts him into his own olive tree, Jesus; thus, fulfilling the words spoken by St. Paul in Rom, 11. Both jewish people and Gentiles shall then be established under one head, and shall go up from the land (the land of the Gentiles), for the day of Israel shall be great. See Hosea 1:11. The whole Israel shall then be gathered into its own land, both the historical and the spiritual land; yes, both the literal and the spiritual jewish people shall then be gathered there to be as one in Christ Jesus. Oh, what a blessed day it will then be for both jewish and Gentile! That is, for all those who are blessed by being grafted into the Lord Jesus. Truly, the elder brother Esau lost his birthright but the younger brother Jacob did inherit it; thus, the jewish people lost their birthright and stewardship of the household but the man child received the inheritance, for he is the man of Rev. 10, who I am convinced is of Gentile seed. He is also the man whom the Lord speaks about in Isa. 59:17-21. Verily, this is how the seed of the man child shall inherit the birthright as long as the days of heaven (the covenant) last; for he is the one whom the Lord speaks about in Isa. 60:21-22; Isa. 65:9. He is also the man spoken of in Rev. 19, which says, “He had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.” Yes, his seed shall inherit the office of his birthright from children until children’s children, as long as the days of the heaven last. When the people of Israel become grafted into the Lord Jesus, they will then receive their civic right in Israel again. The Lord then fulfills the word which he established with their forefathers; but Jacob inherits the birthright, and Esau will never possess the firstborn right again; because Jacob, the man child, retains it. However, the jewish people will receive their right through the man child, for he is the man of whom the Lord speaks in Rev. 21:7, “He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.” We see, therefore, that the office of the man child is likened unto the office of the levitical priesthood. Yes, we can see by the Scripture that the Lord will set up his office in the man child and his seed, and sit in him with judgement and right and the ruling power of the rod of iron, to reign and govern his people and to keep them all as one in himself; therefore, the man child is also the man whom the Lord speaks of in Rev. 2:27-28, when he says, “And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father. And I will give him the morning star.” He is also the man spoken of in Rev. 3:13, “Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.” From these words in Revelation we find that the Lord has a special, inscrutable thing to do do with the man child and his seed above all his servants. We see that Jesus with all his possession and authority has set up his office in the man child, to thereby uphold his kingdom forever. Yes, the man child is the cloud in which the Lord is wrapped. Such is the coming of the Lord to the first resurrection and judgement. Through the man child the new name of Jesus also comes to the world, because in this one man the Lord will now sit to rule his kingdom with the iron rod, to stress and uphold his, the one doctrine of God, and to disperse the doctrines of falsehood. Upon the man child the name of God is written, for the name of God is seen right in the midst of him. Yes, God builds his city and church in Christ Jesus, through the man child, and by the everlasting gospel which the man child inherits; and he is, therefore, the heir to the gospel of God, for it says he shall inherit everything. With this event comes the last change in the church; the church shall thenceforth never fall again. Read the following passages: Zech. 9:8; Isa. 52:1; Isa. 27; Rev. 21:27; Joel 3:21-26. We see from these words that the gospel of God is henceforth called the everlasting gospel, for the man child is the man who proclaims it (according to Rev. 14.) When the time of the first woe has occurred, then the second woe comes, which is the time of the sixth angel and the sixth seal. It is clear that when the time of the sixth angel begins, the millennial reign comes. It will then not only be the time of the eternal judgement and the destruction of the false church but also the time of the rebuilding of the church of God. The man spoken of in Rev. 20 then comes to fulfill his mission, and the dragon with his deceiving power will then be bound. It wil then be given the witnesses of God to hold judgement. Dan. 7:21-22 shows us that the pope was a horn which “made war with the saints, and prevailed against them; until the ancient of days come, and judgement was given to the saints of the most high, and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.” And again he says, “But the saints of the most high shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever.” (Dan. 7:18.) Dear friends, can you now see the way in which the millennial reign comes? In Rev. 19:6 we hear the people of God in his city saying, “Hallelujah: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.” Therefore, they say in verse 7, “Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.” From this we see that the millennial reign is the kingdom of Christ on earth, which begins when the man spoken of in Rev. 10 comes. He is the sixth angel spoken of in Rev. 9:13. There we see the golden altar, the true church of God, which God in Christ Jesus through the man child has created unto himself; and from this church we see that the two witnesses spring forth; and with their great power they bring vengeance upon the enemy. Yes, we see by the Scripture that the church of God shall war against the false church according to Rev. 12:6-8 and shall have victory over her according to Rev. 12:9. In this way the judgement will be given to the saints of the most high, and in this manner they shall possess the kingdom, for the Lord God omnipotent has assumed his own kingdom and shall reign with power. We now understand that when the sixth seal is opened, the sixth angel comes; so, when the man of Rev. 10 appears, the book is opened; however, the seventh seal is not opened until the seventh angel comes; nevertheless, when the man of Rev. 10 appears, the book is opened; for it reads, “And he had in his hnd a little book open.” (Rev. 10:2.) When the sixth seal is opened we see that a terrible storm comes from the Lord. The sun (Christ) becomes black as sackcloth of hair; and the vengeance of the law (the moon) demands blood. The stars of heaven (the so-called Christian leaders) fall to the earth, even as a fig tree sheds her untimely fruit when she is shaken of a mighty wind. (Rev. 6:12-13-); Ezek. 32:7-9. And the heaven (the Christian assemblies) that exists at the coming of the woman departs as a scroll when it is rolled together, and every mountain and island is moved out of its place. (See Rev. 6:14.) This storm most certainly occurs at the same time that the war between the regime of the dragon and the regime of God is being fought. See Rev. 12:6-8. The opening of the sixth seal takes place at the same time as the coming of the sixth angel; and we see that the man of Rev. 10 begins his mission at the time of the sixth angel and the sixth seal. It is he who ascends 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, saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their forehead.” (Rev. 7:2-3.) We see, therefore, that when the man child comes, he marks the people of God in their foreheads with the mark of the Father; yes, the man child has the stamp or the seal wherewith he seals the servants of God. The Lord says to the man child in Ezek. 9:4, “Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.” This is how the Lord seals his own at the coming of the man child. In Rev. 7 we have the number of them that are to be sealed; and in Rev. 14 we see them standing with the Lamb on Mount Sion having the Father’s name written in their foreheads. Mount Sion, we know, is the true church of God. We again hear the Lord speak by this prophet to those who were to follow the forehead-marker and slay in the city, saying, “Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eyes spare, neither have ye pity; slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary.” Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house. And he said unto them “Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go ye forth.” Just think, the courts are to be filled with the slain! See Rev. 11:2. “And they went forth, and slew in the city. And it came to pass, while they were slaying them, and I was left, that I fell upon my face, and cried, and said, “Ah Lord God! wilt thou destroy all the residue of Israel in thy pouring out of thy fury upon Jerusalem? Then he said unto me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceeding great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of perverseness: for they say, The Lord hath forsaken the earth, and the Lord seeth not. And as for me also, mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity, but I will recompense their way upon their head. And, behold, the man clothed with linen, which had the inkhorn by his side, reported the matter saying, I have done as thou hast commanded me.” My dear friend, when the man child comes to seal the people of God, then shall the fulfillment of these things begin. They that come after him to slay in the city are the seven angels who come out from the new city and church of God, having seven vials of wrath. See Rev. 16. Yes, as soon s the elect of God are sealed, the four angels are loosed who are bound by the great river Euphrates. (Rev. 9:15.) These four angels arer the four principal powers of the world. When they are loosed by the word of God, we shall then see wars and turmoil in the world, for by them shall “the third part of men” be killed. (Rev. 9:18) Such is the beginning of the seven vials of wrath; these seven vials of wrath are included in the four principal plagues which we know by the prophecy are sword, hunger, pestilence, and captivity. These plagues which are resolved for the whole world, begin in earnest as soon as the people of God are sealed in their foreheads; and they include every kind of destruction. We read in Rev. 7:1 that the four angels are standing on the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth, that no wind should blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. These four angels are the four great winds of perversion which are waiting for the day and the hour when they shall be loosed from their bonds by the Word; and when their bonds are dissolved, they will then come to do their appointed work of scattering and destroying ungodliness in these same four winds. Thus will be the judgement, the fall of Babylon, the rebuilding of the church of God, and our gathering to God in his house. In this way the Lord gathers together the tares and binds them in bundles to be burned, but gathers the wheat into the barn. And in this way the Lord comes to the preceeding judgement, which is likened unto the day of Noah! Beginning with II Thess. 2:3 we read consecutively and say with St. Paul, “Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he sitteth in the temple of God, shewing that he is God.” (Rev. 12:9 tells us that Satan in this way deceiveth the whole world.) “Remember ye not, that when I was yet with you, I told you these things? And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders.” Dear friends, are you now able to see by the Scripture the fall of the true church and her restitution again? You should now be able to see that Satan has fulfilled his deceiving power, but that when the Lord comes in the man child, he shall then through this man, by his spirit and his word, consume the ungodly: for when the Lord comes in the man child and the two wienesses, it shall then be the manifestation day of Jesus Christ, and also the day for him to judge. See Mal. 4. Then the Lord through the man child and the witnesses shall do as it is written by Isa. 11:4, “With righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.” Here you see how the Lord shall consume the ungodly. The war in heaven, of which we read in Rev. 12:6-8, shall consume the son of perdition; thus, we have the fall of the church and her restitution again. We can see by the Scripture that the gospel of Christ came from the land of the jewish people, and to this same land it shall return. The church of God shall then remain in the land of the jewish people until the Scripture is fulfilled; but when the Scripture is fulfilled, the Lord shall then come to the great and last judgement and resurrection. The dead in Christ shall then rise first, and we who are alive and who are left 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. I Thess. 4:16-17. But now you must not think that we shall stay with the Lord in the air, as the “air believers” think we shall; no, we shall be caught up with the Lord and be with him where he is forever. Yes, when the Lord comes to his last and great judgement, then those who have done good shall arise to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil shall arise to the resurrection of judgement. Death and hell shall then be cast into the lake of fire, which is the second death; and the disciples and the followers of Satan shall be with him there in eternal suffering; but the disciples and the followers of God shall be with Christ where he himself dwells, up in heaven, forever. Thus is the great last judgement and resurrection. We see that on the day of resurrection each one receives according to his works, as it is recorded in the books, because one’s judgement is pronounced while he still lives in this world; for what one has sown here, that shall he reap there. Yes, everyone shall then receive according to what has been recorded about him in the books. (Rev. 20:12.) He that believes and obeys God here in this world will not come before the judgement, but he that believes and obeys not is already condemned, for he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. (John 3:18.) The Lord knows his own, and when he comes, the dead in Christ shall rise first, and we who remain shall be changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, and we shall thus be vaught up in the clouds with the Lord in the air, and shall ever be with the Lord; not down here, but up there, where he himself is, for he says, “I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.” (John 14:3.) This is how the great last judgement and resurrection comes about. The righteous shall go to the place of the righteous, and the unrighteous shall arise and go to the place of the unrighteous. However, every man is judged according to his works; for not all who go to the lake of fire are punished alike. Jesus says, “And that servant, which knew his Lord’s will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes.” (Luke 12:47-48.) Herein we see that each one shall receive according to his works. Likewise it is in the resurrection of the righteous; one shineth as the sun, another as the moon, and another again as the stars. Thus, the righteous shall receive according to their works in the resurrection of the righteous. We can now clearly see how the great resurrection day will be. Amen. The first resurrection must, of course, take place before the last and great resurrection, and it is certain that the first resurrection will take place when the time of the beast is up; for when the man according to Rev. 10 appears, then comes the first resurrection. There is no doubt that the significance of the first resurrection is our arising from the kingdom of Satan unto the kingdom of God; from the synagogues of Satan to the temple and city of God; from death’s dark grave to the light and liberty of the kingdom of Christ; from the darkness of unbelief to the clear light of faith; and from the bottomless sectarian sea of error to the bottomless sea of grace, which shall be in no other place than in the new city of God. We know, of course, a man must die before he can arise; consequently, all the people of God must die in Adam but be made alive in the Son of God, Christ Jesus; for when he is risen in all the dead, then the people of God are indeed resurrected, because Jesus is called the “resurrection.” This is how the first resurrection comes about, because one is dead for all; therefore, all the people of God must, by the law, be put to death in the Adam nature, so the Son, the only living man, can be the life in all of them. Yes, when he is risen in all of us, we then are all resurrected. He shall then be our king and shall indeed govern us. Thus comes the first resurrection at the beginning of the millennial reign. The millennial reign is the reign of the true church and spiritual kingdom of God here on earth, beginning when the man of Rev. 10 comes. The Bible clearly teaches us that the blessings and peace of God shall not be found except in the new city of God; that is to say, they will be hidden from the people who will not worship God according to the rules of his church. No, these people wil all ve included under the curse of the law, for we find that outside the city are, “Dogs, sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.” (Rev. 22:15.) Yes, outside the city we have the followers of Satan, but inside the city we have the little flock of the Lamb. We have now seen by the prophecy that the first resurrection comes at about the middle of the time of the New Testament. The prophecy also tells us that the man child is the man of whom the Lord speaks in Jer. 15:7-8; Hab. 3; Amos 8:9; Wisdom 18:13-15. We find that the time when the saints shall possess the kingdom, or the time when judgement was given unto them, is near the middle of the time of the New Testament. Lastly, I must tell one and all that Rev. 9:13 is our standpoint today, an I will adjure all of you to prepare yourselves for judgement, because the everlasting gospel is now being proclaimed to you. Amen. — “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.” Rev. 14:6. “He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.” Luke 10:16. “And ye shall eat old store, and bring forth the old because of the new.” Lev.26:10. “And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish. But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved. No man also having drunk old wine straightway desireth new: for he saith, The old is better.” Luke 5:37-39. “In that day sing ye unto her, A vineyard of red wine.” Isa. 27:2. “And in this mountain shall the Lord of hosts make unto all people a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined. And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the veil that is spread over all nations.” Isa. 25:6-7. “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” Matt. 11:28.

When they move into a suburb, they carry out a form of spiritual mapping, super natural Shia law, to bring the suburb into a form of spiritual bondage. They prodominately operate between the hours of 10:30-4:30 am. They need small platform ladders as they have to be of the ground when they carry out there devilish acts, I say this for to them it's all about control. So as you know they don't intergrate into suburbs they seek to dominate. Have a look t France for example 437 special ethnic zones where police fear to go into, lawlessness is so prevalent. If they are wanting purchase a property in and area they are seeking to dominate they carry out this occult based ritual around and on the property without the owners consent. This brings more favourable terms to the Muslim purchaser, unless a Christian goes and tares it down, praying in the holy ghost. They use young people in cars when they are wanting to go into people's properties at night to carry out thier acts,they match jump the fence with simular time of vehicle driving past. When you address them spiritually they cough out demons, let alone speaking the word. I live in Australia on threats coast, they are active here, I dred to imagine what they are doing in france. If they know the location of those that oppose the, you will be targeted for this spiritual attack. I am concerned for those well meaning folk on YouTube who speak out against them, and are unbelievers in Christ, it would be very dark. Now the israel nation, they continue to plot against my brothers in sisters in Israel. Take recent comments of the president of Egypt, out capital is not Cairo or Madina, it is Jerusalem,I call on millions of martyrs to march on israel. Will you plot against the most high, he shall laugh. He will remove your chariot wheels while you are in the sea. You shall suffer. Who will stand for israel? who will stand for the the elect. It's like Germany before Hitler, normal Germans did nothing to stop his ascendancy. Where are the voices? |

I WAS TOLD TO COME HERE AND POST, PLEASE READ! Dear Lord God Almighty, Quoting: PehJeshuah 19187599 why did you call me from my low place saying to me "speak the truth" and, while I do it I must cry and weep in my heart at people's mockery and harch words without basis, and because of their thinking and feeling that I am just another impostor come to them as a cockcroach in their delicious meal of food. Lord, my reproacher and hope, did I take from you that I did not receive from you. Did I steal it? Did I say that I am any better than your other sons and daughters, my fellow being? Lord, I did not, so testify it to those who hate me! And further on, if I am not what I tell them, then humiliate me and reveal it even in the presence of the whole world to see, if nescessary, otherwise, show the world that I am your broken brand, a soul you visited and instructed through much grief and signs that you gave to people around me, and also to me! I pray, give people who hear my voice the chance to feel and measure me with righteousness, not with self-deception, even though my words are filled with anger against whatever injustice I feel and see being done to my fellow human beings. So, my Lord, why are you going against Ireland, please, forgive them, even for one righteous person's sake without heeding one unrighteous self-righteous person in Ireland. Why should there not be an honest and truthseeking person in Ireland. Lord, my Mighty God, I saw your wrath at Ireland, and then I said, if you are that angry with Ireland what will be the end of England. My tears are not leaving me, for I am a sinner as they also are, and if you cannot forgive, what will we then be, for we are just your creaturs, all of us? Greetings from PehJeshuah Pray in your closet you self-righteous buffoon . Matthew 6:5-6 “And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you. No one buys what you are selling, Ireland.
