UNDERSTANDING THE BOOK OF REVELATION
Part 10
Before we go on with this sharing, I want to give you some definitions, that will help me from having to keep typing up what they mean, each time we come to them; and we will be reading about them over and over, throughout the Book of Revelation. So, you may want to print these definitions out, so you will have it close, as we go through this book.
LAMB.= whenever we see the word, "lamb", we automatically think of the man, Jesus. Yes, He was the Lamb slain. But, the word "Lamb", used here in the Book of Revelation is not about Jesus. It is about, that One that was like unto the man Jesus, who was actually GOD. Here in Revelation the word "Lamb" is LAMBKIN.
There are three numbers in Strong's Concordance that help us see the meaning of the word, "Lamb" in Revelation.
#704= a lamb, as a male
#721= a lambkin: lamb
#730= male (as strong for LIFTING) , male, man
these numbers come from the number:
#142= a prime verb: to lift; by implication, to take UP or AMONG: figuritively to RAISE (the voice) , keep in sspense (the mind); specically, to sail away (weigh anchor); by Hebrew meaning; to expiate in, away with, bear (up) carry, lift up, loose, make to doubt, put away, remove, (take away, up)
For us, who know our True Identity, all these definitions fit us. Being in the image of God, we are the Lamb, just as Jesus was. We lift others. We do all that is mentioned in the Hebrew. ( check these definitions out for yourself, so you will know and meditate on. Think on it; Jesus forgave sins (as the Father). We are told "what sins you remit, are remitted; what sins you forgive, are forgiven". We need to lose our religious ideas. We are not mere mortal men who can do nothing, and if anyone thinks they are, then they are; "as a man thinketh (believes), so is he". We are a Spirit Being that lives in a body. And we are made up of the VERY SPIRIT that God is. "there is only one God and one Spirit..." So, this Lamb, in the Book of Revelation is not talking about Jesus, it is revealing us, as we truely are.
SEALS, TRUMPETS, AND VIALS (there are seven of each of these; SEVEN MEANS COMPLETION, PERFECTION)
SEALS= the opening of the seals represent the work of the Holy Spirit in the churches (US). The opening of the seals helps us to understand our TRUE BEING and it rising up within us. The seals are an opening of what Daniel, John was told to close UNTIL..., we saw this in the last part of this. Scripure tells us:
Eph. 1:13, " Ye were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise. When were we sealed? From the second He brought us forth, out from within Himself. We were sealed so that we would NEVER lose the Truth of our Being. We NEVER lost it, we forgot it for a time.
Eph. 4:30, "Grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed..." Oh this will blow a lot of people away, but think on this: when we grieve the Holy Spirit, we are grieving ourselves! There is One Spirit; if we are made of that Spirit that there is only one of, then who are we grieving? I'll let you think on that. These seals are within us, and as they are opened, more of HIM is being revealed, AS US.
As the seven seals are opened we are only seen AS HIM. Perfect (as we have always been, except in our thinking;) Completed manifestation of and as HIM. We are told in Hebrews 11:40, (....they without US (those who have passed back into that invisible realm) CANNOT come into PERFECTION (COMPLETION).There is a people they all around us; (Heb. 12:1) that their seals are being opened too!! Hallilujah!! When this process that we are almost finished manifesting is complete, those prepared, or whose seals have been removed, they too will be on this earth in a body that death and corruption can no longer touch.!! Each of these trumpets that sound, word that we have accepted and awakened to; and each seal that has been opened within us; and each vial opened and poured out, is a REMEMBRANCE OF OUR IDENTITY.
2 Tim. 2:19, "...having this seal, the Lord knoweth them that are His". that are His what? Aren't we all His? Yes, we are, but, "them that are His" is those who have broken the seal and are His very Being.
Trumpet= when the write scripture speaks of a trumpet, it is speaking of a CLEAR SOUNDING WORD FROM GOD. When Thessalonians speaks of the Trumpet of Michael sounds, it is speaking of A CLEAR SOUNDING WORD FROM GOD, just as Daniel heard:
2 Thess. 4:16, "For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first."
Where is our heaven? It is between our ears. Where is He descending from? From between our ears. And what does He bring with Him? The mighty trumpet (message) that Michael shared with Daniel. The BLAST is awakening us, and HE IS DESCENGING INTO AND THROUGH US. This is the scripture that they use to teach, the Rapture. Yes it is about some ascending, but not ascending out of this PERFECT, BEAUTIFUL, COMPLETED planet that GOD CREATED TO LIVE AND BE SEEN IN!!! These seven trumpets have been processing us into our awakening of our True Identity, the COMPLETE AND WHOLE IMAGE THAT WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN, but forgot, as we got CAUGHT UP with the natural, material world, that we have seen out of the unclear eyes of the natural.
VIALS= Throughout the church ages, vials represented the pouring out of God's wrat, for disobedience of His children. One of the greates events that showed this was the destruction of Jerusalem, in 70AD. (see my study on The Great Tribulation). Now, this great tribulation is being taught by the church system, as a future event. But, after this happened, Jesus was crucified and we had our Spirit awakened, in resurrection, with Him. NOW, we do not get punished for disobedience, by God. NOW, man brings upon himself, what he expects to happen to him, because of disobedience. And "as a man thinketh, so is he". In the church ages, the acceptance or rejection of the power, authority, and the Voice of God, brought forth the result of the vials being poued out upon them. There is still obedience and disobedience to and against God.
God has demanded that we live NOT after the flesh, but to live after the Spirit, that we are.
Rom.8:6, "For to be carnally minded is death; but to be Spiritually minded is life and peace."
Gen. 1:27, " God created man in HIs image and likeness..."
1 John 4:17, " as he is, so are we, in this world (present arrangement)..."
These are just a few of the blasts from the Trumpet that this church age, US, have been hearing. We God shows us something, He is not showing us that Truth just because He is bored. He has a Plan and the Plan is finished and HE HAS BEEN WAITING ON US, to bring forth the manifestation of His Finished Plan.
James 5:9, "For the Lord hath long patience for it; and He WAITETH for the precious fruit OF THE EARTH, until He receive the early and the latter rain."
It is HE that has been waiting. We keep being taught, "wait on the Lord"; well we have seen WHO the LORD IS!! Has all the waiting that we were taught to do, changed anything? No. But now, the Glorious seven trumpet has sounded in ears, that hear. They have come to the realization of Who they are. They have come to the realization of having receivED His fullness. They have been hearing, AWAKE, ARISE, LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE!! And there is a people who are doing it. It is NOT the human people who are doing it, it is a many memberd body that has heard with Spiritual ears, Who they are and What they are, and NOW they are allowing ONLY HIM TO BESEEN. They are willing to give all; but, you know what? They don't have to give anything, IT IS ALREADY DONE, all they have to do is , COME QUICKLY!
So, throughout this, we will see the different vials, or works of the Spirit that has been working to come to this very time, the time for the complete manifestation to appear. His work is finished, now WE/HIM has to bring it forth to be seen by the world, and to bring the entire world to THEIR REALIZATION of Who they are.
So, in the next part, we will begin our journey throught the Trumpets, through the Seals, and the Vials.

It is understandable for a child
to be afraid of the dark; but, why would an adult be afraid of the LIGHT?
