UNDERSTANDING THE BOOK OF REVELATION

Part 12

I received tis in my email and it struck such a strong truth, that needs to be understood, today. Yes, in the Spirit, which we are, all of His work is finished. But, regardless of who is saying, "just sit back and claim it and watch it", there is a part that we were ORDAINDED to do, and that is to bring that finished work into manifestation, here on earth. And yes, we do have to come to know our True Identity, which some are; but some seem to forget that there is also a part of I AM's process called, SEEING IT MANIFESTED.

This article, by Ray Prinzing, needs to be realized. RIGHT NOW, we are either in TRUTH OR WE ARE IN A STRONG DELUSION. I choose Truth. Truth has came forth as to Who and What we are; Truth has came forth of all that is within us; Truth has came forth WITH UNDERSTANDING, and is continueing to come forth, FOR ALL. Some may choose not to receive the truth, right now, but, as the article says, they will be corrected. It is just that choosing the delusion, prolongs the MANIFESTATION OF TRUTH to be seen in them. But, IT WILL COME TO BE SEEN. Rest assured, I AM is not stupid. There was and is a plan that HE planned. Can He fail at anything? I think not.

Those who exhalt themselves, who literally come right out and say, "ONLY I have the truth", regardless of the truth that they are giving out, they themselves are in a strong delusion. And we must remember, He will USE whoever He chooses, regardless of looks, race, wealth, health, and haltiness. What must be understood is that WE ARE ALL ONE. And each of the many parts of this One, has the same truth, written within the Book that they are.

THE LOVE OF THE TRUTH

QUOTE: "Because they received not the love of truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie." – 2 Thes. 2:10-11

Two ways are set before us here: receiving the love of the truth to work into us into salvation; or, receiving a strong delusion, literally, an inworking delusion, so that we believe a lie. Interestingly enough, God sends them both. He brings forth vessels of mercy, and vessels of wrath.

Those who refuse, who receive not the love of the truth, in turn will receive an inworking error, and then have to pass through a judgment to be purged of that error. This is learning the lesson the hard way, having to go through a process of correctional chastening, until they learn that it is far better to receive the love of the truth. Yet God retains sovereign control over this entire process. "I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them, because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before Mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not." (Isa. 66:4). God knows exactly which inworking delusion will subdue and teach that it is an evil and bitter thing to forsake the way of the Lord.

There is a love to be received along with the truth, for knowledge alone will not hold you. When the vision tarries you soon become entangled in all sorts of strange diversions, and a prey for those spoken of in Daniel 11:14, "the robbers of thy people shall exalt themselves to establish the vision; but they shall fail." Those who do not have a love for the truth will exalt themselves and set about to establish the vision – as if they were able to fulfill it, but they shall fail. When you have a LOVE FOR THE TRUTH you will not want to see any self-effort destroy, mar, or try to fulfill it after the flesh. You will wait with an eye single to God knowing He will fulfill His Word. "Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them." – Ps. 119:165" UNQUOTE:

We are seeing in the Book of Revelation that His Image, He Himself, IS IN THE EARTH. We are His reflection. Exactly what and Who He is. He is us. This is HIS LIFE that we are living. And knowing this, means that the delusion that we have been living in, is gone. Truth is RISING and being SEEN. It is a process that is QICKLY taking place, NOW.

We will be looking at the first seal being opened, in this part. And the first vial. And the first trumpet. Now, as each of these come into play, we must remember, in the natural these all took place in the seven churches, in chapters 2 and 3 of Revelation. But, more importantly, remember we are the church. Each of these things that will be spoken of will or has taken place in us. We have or will experience them, EVERYONE will. And what we want is TRUTH. We want out of the delusion that has had us bound to this earthly, religious thinking. HE IS TRUTH and because He is Truth, WE ARE TRUTH, if we allow it to rise within us and flow out of us, to the world. I bless us all.

Revelation 6:1-2, "And I saw when the Lamkin opened one of the seals, and I heard as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts (living ones) saying, "COME AND SEE". And I saw, and behold a white horse, and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him; and he went forth conquering, and to conquer."

Here and there, I might throw in an explanation of the happenings in the natural, regarding what we will be looking at, but, for the most part, it will be about us indiviually. We all have not experienced the work that was prepared BEFORE the foundation of the earth, but each, in our own way have and will experience these things.

This seal is/was opened, in the natural, with the first church age. But, as we saw earlier, we can look at our relationship in/with I am, in the opening of each seal. This seal shows strongholds that were and maybe still are corrections that have to be made. Strongholds are only things that we are to turn around, to give glory to our True Identity. The taking down of the strongholds, is just us, USING the wisdom, discernment and DOMINION that we have had all this time, and maybe were not aware of. BUT, the seals are being opened; and with each opening we are ridding ourselves of the delusional thinking that we have had, UNTIL NOW. These seals speak of how the Holy Spirit has been awakening us.

In the written scripture, the horse is a symbol of strength and power. Of course, now that we KNOW our True Identity, we can see that this strength and power can and is used BOTH in the spiritual and natural realms. When we read the scripture we will see the two ways that strength and power apply.

When the word "horse" is used in relation with righteousness, divinity, or spiritual things, it means or is showing us understanding of spiritual strength: When the word "horse" is used of man's strength and power, it is seen as man doing it.

IS 30:15-18, "For thus saith the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel: in returning and rest shall ye be saved; in the quietness and in confidence shall be your STRENGTH : and ye would not. But ye said, No; for we will flee upon HORSES ; therefore shall ye flee; and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift. One thousnad shall flee at the rebuke of one; at the rebuke of five shall ye flee, until ye be left as a beacon upon upon the top of a mountain, and as an ensign on an hill. And therefore will the Lord wait, that he may be gracious unto you, , and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you; for the Lord is a God of judgment; blessed are all they that wait for him."

This is man in man's strength. The Lord says, do it this way; no, we'll do it our way; man has it all worked out in his head, and thinks that he can make it with his own strength.

In Revelation we are seeing the first church; the church of Ephesus. And their downfall was that they had left their first love. In us, this is after we accept Jesus as our Saviour and the Spirit begans working in us, whether it be receiving revelation, healing, prophesying, or any of the gifts of the Spirit, things want to change. I am not speaking for everyone, but I have to admit, I did leave that first love, HIM. I was caught up and excited that the gift of prophesy was working in me. I was thrilled with the gift. But, soon I was more caught up with the gift, than the giver. Oh sure, I still loved Him, but my main thought was prophesying. But, reread the first line of verse 15; "IN RETURNING and REST shall ye be saved". MANY when going through Pentecost, forget the giver of the gifts, and are focused on the gift. Some have, and sadly still are, are dependant on what they have been given, instead of Who did the giving. It becomes their strength and power. And it WORKS!! But, eventually it dims. Then, IF they listen to what is being said WITHIN themselves, they realize, "oh my God, I did leave my first love". But, gratefullly and thankfully, we can return, and rest IN HIM. But, ONLY by returning can we keep growing, keep remembering. Remembering, until we come to know our Identity and rest in that Identity and the gifts don't hold us spellbound, HE DOES! When we are spellbound (UNITED AS ONE) you cannot turn loose of Him, our first love, nor Him of us,Who can turn loose of themself?

I had a FRIEND call me yesterday. We talk evey day. And this person wanted to know if I thought it was a sin to go to "clubs" (bars). When I first heard, "clubs are not the same as bars", I knew this person was facing something that had to be understood by her values. I could not tell her what to do. And I told her; clubs sell alcohol just like a bar, right? clubs have the same attomphere as a bar, right? and the same thing that goes on in a bar, goes on in a club, right? So, why are you refusing to call it a bar? I was sensing what was happening. So she said, "well in other words, you are saying that if I go to clubs, I am sinning, right? How can you be so judgmental and condemning?" I told her, "number one, you know that I don't believe in SIN. Number two I am not telling you what you can and cannot do, YOU choose for yourself what you do. And IF you want to go to the bars, and you are at peace with it, by all means go. All I am saying is that, (FROM MY OWN EXPERIENCE) the bars are not the attmosphere of God. The language spoken there, the booze that eventually controls you, and whatever the trip ends up in, IS NOT ALLOWING HIS PRESENCE to come forth. It is a hindrance, that's all." So now, she is upset with me. And really what she is upset about is this; she wanted me to say "oh yes, we can lay drunk; we can do anything we want, and STILL WALK AS HIM. I could not say that. Yes, we still would BE Him, but we would not BE SHOWING HIS LIFE. I cannot say something that I know is of the flesh, as showing His life. NO!!!!!! I AM NOT CONDEMNING, I am just saying what I know, FOR ME. EVERYONE has to choose ways to walk. Each step is for a learning. ALL THINGS ARE PURE!! And learning to SHOW PURITY, we learn. To tell anyone anything that THEY must do, is exalting MY thinking above what they must learn. And if I told anyone anything to make them FEEL whatever it is they want to feel, I would be leaving what my FIRST LOVE has shown me. I will not water down a truth, to make anyone feel GOOD. We need to know, that when we ask for an opinion, be ready to hear the opinion and THEN MAKE UP YOUR OWN MIND. And in making up your own mind, LISTEN FOR TRUTH.

Revelation 19:14, "And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses "

White represends Purity. So what this is saying is, "they followed Him in divine strength."

Hab.3:15, "Thou didst walk through the sea with thine horses..." or "with thy strength.

The day of Pentecost was sent forth with its rider (ministry) upon a white horse; Pentecost was God ordained; God given; and it moved in HIS STRENGTH and with HIS POWER and it was crowned with God's authority. And it was beautiful, even if at the time, we did not understand it all. But, leaning on His strength, we learned.

I won't judge, but I think that at one time or another, we have all left our first love; no matter what or who it was for. But, we did come back to it.

Revelation 6:2, "And I saw, and behold a white horse, and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given him, and he went forth conquering and to conquer."

The first thing that I noticed here, was, the white horse was a HIM! Just as people have genders, words also have genders. The Spirit is masculine and the soul is feminine. This horse (strength) was a him, SPIRIT. The Strength of God. And the word "sat" represents, resting. The One on the white horse was resting in the strength of God. Not of man. And notice, he had a crown. He had the authority of God. The bow represents a new covenant relationship that was between us and God. Remember how God said that by the rainbow, it was a covenant that he made with us? A promise that He made to Noah? And look at what He said to us:

Hebrews 11:36-40, "And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yes, moreover of bonds and imprisonment: They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain, with the sword; they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented; (of whom the world was not worthy;), they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth. And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, RECEIVED NOT THE PROMISE; GOD HAVING PROVIDED SOME BETTER THING FOR US, that they without us should not be made perfect."

WOW!!! If this doesn't make us want to continue in this manifesting of Him, I don't know what it will take! Now, this is talking about those who have passed into the invisible realm. The saints of the OT; and they went as far as God's plan allowed them to go.And they had not received the promise, at that time, that God had for us. (Understand that once Jesus died and resurrected, the promise was as good for them as it is for us. Which shows, where they are, they are still learning, just as we are, of our and their True Identity. )

There was one ( a many membered One) on a white horse, in every church age. And now, we are bringing up the rear, or the beginning, however you choose to look at it. But, that One that sat or rested in the strength of God had the authority of God, just as we do and have had. It was the strength of God that enabled us to CORRECT WITHIN OURSELVES all that had to be renewed to our mind. We are resting in HIS pure strength; we have HIS authority; and we have been going forth conquering. And we will conquer the carnal mind until all that comes forth is that Christ mind, the mind of God. Oh aren't you glad for the corrections that have been made in you and the things that are leaving our mind so that I AM IS STANDING TALL IN US? Hallelujah!!

2 Cor. 10:2-4, " we do not war after the flesh; for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of the strong holds....of Satan."

Yes our weapons are GOD. He finished this war. The strongholds were torn down, right from the start; and now WE must manifest that finished work of His. It is done and over with and when we look through HIS eyes, we see it so, regardless of what is going on in the world that is seen with carnal eyes.

Just as Pentecost turned the world upside down, WE were turned upside down and it was the beginning of our being turned INSIDE OUT!! And just as Pentecost went through all the land, NOW we are SEEING His promise of Hebrews 11 fulfilled IN US. (it has always been there, but we had to awaken to it) HIM going throughout the world, as us and us as HIM!!

Joel 2;1, "Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain."

This word, "alarm" means: to mar (especially by breaking); to split the ears (with sound),i.e. SHOUT (for alarm or joy), ; blow as alarm, cry, destroy, make a joyful noise, smart, triumph.

Oh I know what you all are feeling, because we are ONE and I AM feeling it too. So, we see the first seal was opened in the natural first church; but thankfully it was opened in each one of us. Hallelujah!!

Speaking of NOISE, SOUND, and SPLITTING THE EARS, this brings us to the first trumpet.

I want you to know, that throughout the talking about the seals and the trumpets and the vials, I WILL BE SPEAKING IN PAST TENSE: as if we were just now going through them. As you will find, 95% of the Book of Revelation has been fulfilled!! And those finished works of God that He had done, HAS BEEN MANIFESTED IN US!! But, the process of bringing forth the other five percent, is NOW coming forth.

Now, as I said in the definitions that I gave in an earlier part, TRUMPET represents A CLEAR SOUNDING WORD FROM GOD. Now, John was allowed to see ALL seven of the church ages; the moves of God; the changes; the preparation for the next move, John was allowed to see it all. Right down or up, maybe I should say, to the seventh church age. WE are seeing ALL seven of the changes in the church, (US), too. We are going to be getting a real awakening to our place in Him and His place in us. ONE, not together, JUST ONE!!

For the first trumpet, turn to Revelation 8.

Revelation 8: 2-7, "And I saw seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets. And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. And the smoke of the incense, which came with the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand. And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth; and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake. And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound. The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth; and the third part of trees ws burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up."

Now remember, the heaven is our mind; the earth is our body, our carnality, as well as the physical earth.

So these trumpets are a clear word from God. He can speak to us, through us, through scripture, through ANYTHING OR ANYBODY that He chooses to. So, we have to receive by the Spirit; we cannot LOOK at WHO He speaks through or WHAT He speaks through. We ONLY know His trumpeting voice, by the Spirit. The Voice of God is God in any or all of its manifestations.

The first angel sounded the first trumpet. (in the first church age AND IN US). The first angel SHOUTED, or sounded the trumpet; "and there followed hail fire". Hail represents TRUTH. When John saw the hail, it was representing to us, what was said in Isaiah.

IS 28:17, "Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet; AND THE HAIL SHALL SWEEP AWAY THE REFUGE OF LIES and the waters shall overflow the hiding place."

The HAIL (truth) shall swee away the refuge of lies. hmmm. Now, some people call there trashcans, refuge. And that is exactly where we put our "refuge'. Now the hail, or truth is going to sweep away lies, right? Let's look a couple of scriptures UP and see an example of the lies that are going to be swept away.

IS 28: 15-16, "Because YOU have said, WE have made a covenant with DEATH, and with HELL are we at AGREEMENT; when the overflowing scourge (Holy Spirit) shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for WE have made lies our REFUGE (trash), and under FALSEHOOD have WE HID OURSELVES."

Boy!! We didn't know how incorrect we were in our thinking, back in our baby days, in the Lord, did we? We were taught that we HAVE TO SEE DEATH (I am speaking of PHYSICAL DEATH). We not only heard it, WE PREACHED it, with our everyday words. "Oh God has appointed a time of death for everyone and there is nothing can stop it." "The only thing we can be sure of is paying taxes and death." "Well once you hit 60, it's all downhill and then death." Haven't we all heard or spoke these words? I know I did. And just to show how TRUE scripture can be, it says, "out of the heart, the mouth speaks" "as a man thinketh so is he". We did not know THEN that we are creators! And we create with our words! We know better now!!

So, what this scripture is saying, is that as long as we keep lies our refuge, those lies will keep death and hell right there in our life, and we will see death. And we are making our own hell, right here on earth. Did you know, that the word hell, in the Hebrew is Hades? And it was a place where REFUGE WAS BURNED, ALONG WITH DEAD BODIES? Look at ISaiah.

IS 28:18, "And YOUR covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourg shall pass through, then YE SHALL BE TRODDEN DOWN BY IT. From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you; for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night; and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report."

I don't want to leave you discouraged. So turn to:

PS 102:18-20, "This shall be written for the generation to come; and the people which shall be created shall praise the Lord. For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven did the Lord behold the earth; To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to LOOSE THOSE THAT ARE APPOINTED TO DEATH; (I encourage you to read the rest of this chapter). Remember where His sanctuary is, US. The People that was to be created, IS US BY THE REMEMBERING OF OUR TRUE IDENTITY. The heaven is our mind, and the earth this body that we inhabit. And WE HAVE BEEN LOOSES FROM DEATH!!

2 Tim. 1:9-10, "Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according TO HIS OWN PURPOSE AND GRACE, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began. (Who was Jesus before He incarnated in this earthen realm, I AM.) But IS NOW MADE MANIFEST by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, WHO HAS ABOLISHED DEATH, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel."

God HAS NEVER had death in Him. And we are made out from within HIM, so death was never in His plan for us. It was the lies that we have made our refuge, the cause of death continueing year after year; century after century. NOW, we no longer live that covenant that we had made with death and hell. Sadly, most of the world still have that covenant, but He has always called a people out of a people, and moved with and through as AS.

The trumpet has sounded in us and we received it. All thanks to the meriful I AM.

I was hoping to get the seal, the trumpet and the vial finished in this part. But, it is longer than I had planned. (I AM thanking I AM). So, in part 13 we will finish up the vial and begin on the second seal.

to be continued...

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