UNDERSTANDING THE BOOK OF REVELATION

Part 15

We have come to the third church age and what God said about it; also, the seal that was opened; the trumpet that sounded, and the vial that was poured out, by the third angel. Now, remember when I said that the Book of Revelation is 95% fulfilled? Well, can you see that all that we have looked at so far, IS THE PAST? Not only historically, but, in our experience, our walk BACK into the reality of BEING ONE IN ELOHEIM. I realized that most have not experienced all this, yet. That will be the work of "the One like unto.." , to do. This work will be the bringing of the WORLD to their True Identity.

I want to start out, looking back at this third church, the Church of Pergamos.

Revelation 2:14-15, "But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there, those that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a sstumblingblock before the children of Israel; to eat things sacrificied unto idols, and to committ fornication. So hast thou also them, that hold the doctrine of the Nicolatianes, which thing I hate."

Spiritual fornacation is becoming one with any thing or anyone, other than HIM.

This is the age when there was a great rising of Catholicism. The spread of Christianity became like a great tree. All KINDS of things came to nest in this tree, but, never became a part of the church. They used the name of the church to promote the false church systems of the antichrist. ANYTHING against His Truth is antichrist. Look at a scripture that describes this church age to a T.

IS 4: 1, "And in that day seven women shall take hold on one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel; only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach."

IS 5:13, " Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge: and their honourable men are faminshed (in the original, Their glory are men of famine) and their multitude dried up with thirst."

This church did not seek for the Voice of the Holy Spirit; and their leaders were humanistic and of the beast nature, and of carnal understanding regarding the things of God. They followed after the world and its riches; the flesh and the devils. Lying spirits worked through these carnal religous leaders..

"God said, I know where Satan's seat is"... Satan's seat is in the heart of all who do not follow God. Satan is the fleshly and carnal minds and will of man. (Let me say here, those of us who have received the revelation of our True Identity KNOW that the demons and the devil was destroyed IN OUR LIVES. ( Heb 2:14-15)

I'd like to share the words of a precious sister to me, to show how this age was, and some are still in it:

Quote; I did not realize that the first written scriptures were dated 300 or 400 a.d...i thought that the bible was what Paul and Peter and all quoted...that was so stupid of me, i know...

Constantine CONTROLLED what comprised the first version of the Scriptures.. was he a christian, well what did it actually mean to be a christian... Paul and James were separate faction shortly after the death of Jesus, and James was his brother.. If you read all articles about the council of nicea, it would be impossible not to form the opinion that greed and money were at the core of the outcome...nothing really about what Jesus was trying to teach us when He was with us... I was raised in the catholic church...we NEVER referred to the bible for anything, we had a catechism that had the imprimatur or nihil obstat...if a book of religious study did not have those two "stamps" we were NOT allowed, as Catholics, to read them...

come on now people, the early church that was controlled by Constantine was a political money oriented church, there were NO truths presented... .there were, however, a remnant of truth, lightworkers, who spread the message that I AM started..come on, do you not think that our great Source, I AM, would be outdone....in HIS time, and when HE wanted, the dream will end..the dream being that man, humanity, carnality can ever catch "a wave".....if ever anyone ever asks the question of if God laughs, i would say, HE CAN ONLY LAUGH...there are no tears in I AM there are only tears in man...the sooner we stop crying and get back to the laughter of being I AM the sooner there will be a giant ahha...told you it would

never work adam.... End Quote. And thank you, Jonna for sharing this with us.

When Jonna was speaking of Constantine being a controller, this is what was said to the third church age:

Revelation 2"15, "So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes, which thing I hate."

This word "Nicolaitanes" means; controller of people. This church age controlled the people of the churches. Still, it goes on today. There are millions, and not just in the Catholic Church, but some in the Kingdon Message, are ruled over by people that make them think: "Come to me and I will heal you; come to me or be sick and poor". Maybe not their original words, but the attitude is the same. There are many who will not seek the Spirit for themselves, but depend on these "teachers". These leaders even try to tell people HOW to hear the Lord. "do it his way or you won't hear". WE know that IF one takes the time to seek Him, He will answer. "Ask and you will receive". Just as it was back in the day of the third church age, it is still the same. IF you want HIM, seek Him, within yourself. If you are depending on a man/woman to hear FOR you, you will not hear His Voice. Now, we don't have to ask, for He tells us, call things that are not as though they are. We have walked out of the control system, being it a building or a person. OUR dependance is HIM.

There were those who did remain faithful to their God. These are they "who held fast the name of the Lord Jesus Christ" , and refused to deny the faith and the True Spiritual Leadership of the Spirit. Many of these became martyrs for the cause of Christ. God caused the overcomers to eat hidden manna and He said, Give the overcomers a white stone, a precious heavenly reward, and in the stone a new name written, which mo man noweth saving he that receiveth it." The receivng of the new name,,, is a revealed name, that name is Spiritual . For those still in the man Jesus, the name is Jesus Christ.

Eph 3:14-19, "For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, (vs 19) And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God."

And now, for those who know their True Identity, they know all that they are.

John 1:16, "For we ALL HAVE RECEIVED the fullness of Him."

Just as it was back then, there are many who claim to be walking in the Kingdom, yet they allow themselves to still be controlled; not only by their pastors, but by husbands, wives, children and MONEY!! IF someone is staying in a church that they themselves tell you, "my church is so dry and dead", and yet they keep paying their TITHES to that church, this is control. Fear. We are told "if you lay down with a harlot, you become ONE with her." Some of these people SOUND so spiritual, and yet they are so controlled. When tithes are paid to an "institution" and that institution is dry and dead, so are the payers of the tithes.

Revelation 6:5-6, "And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse: and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny: and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine."

Now, remember that it is the Lambkin who is opening these seals. The Lambkin is "the one like unto.." of Revelation 1:13. A black Horse. This is the symbol of darkness and black days of oppression for all true believers. A divine balance is called for against many of the Pergamos church age. All that failed to follow on, in the truth, were "weighed in the balances and found wanting". This was also seen in the people in the day of Daniel, and sad to say, still today. This age of darkness show many of the false doctrines of man. And also the birthing of more erroneous teacings in the church, "teaching for doctrines the commandments of men" (MT 15:9, Mark 7:7)

Among those doctrines of men that were birthed during the third church age was the doctrine of "Thrietheism". The question was ask "Will there be "one measure" or will there be "three measures for a penny"? The penny is symbolic of eternal life. (read MT 11:1-9). A penny was paid to all that laboured in the vineyard. A penny for ALL=Eternal Life for all that follow God. The measure is our aspect of God. Is HE "one measure" or is HE "three measures"? Many have traded revelation and truth for the doctrines of men.

"see thou hurt not the oil and the wine."

In all that was happening in and among the Christians, there was a divine assurance that nothing could hurt the "oil and the wine." The Oil and Wine represent the Holy Ghost outpouring that began on the day of Pentecost and has continued throughout EVERY AGE from then , right up until NOW. And folks, the gates of hell have not prevailed against it. This was the third seal opened.

Revelation 8:10-11, "And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of ther rivers, and upon the fountains of waters: And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood, and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter."

The third angel sounds the third trumpet.

"There fell a great star from heaven...." The stars are used to show and depict the ministry or the ministering of the brethren. We were told in Revelation 1:20 who the stars are. "The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels (messengers) of the seven churhes...."

Joel 2:10, e:15, "...and the stars (ministry) shall withdraw their shining (authority.)"

Jude 1:13, "...wandering stars ( false ministries.)"

Stars represent LIGHT. Jesus said, I AM the Light of the world". WE are told about ourselves, "YE are the light of the world". Jesus and His followers caused the "religious" rivers, and the "fountains" of spiritual drinking waters of man to become bitter. Those of that day that insisted on continuing in their false traditions and rituals of man made religions, perished.

Today, it is almost the same. IF we believe that we have to see physical death, because of the lies that we have believed, then yes, we will see physical death. Jesus tasted death, so that we don't have to. Also, if we insist on believing that we are HUMAN BEINGS, instead of SPIRIT BEINGS, then all that goes with the natural will come to us, and that includes death. The carnal and carnal doctrines IS DEATH. How many times have we heard , "pray that you die and go to heaven". It was like speaking a death sentence upon us. And we believed it for a long time, but now, OUR LIGHT IS SHINING: we KNOW what and Who we are; we KNOW that the flesh is just a vehicle that we use. Spirits do not die. Our trumpet has sounded and we are hearing!! Hallelujah!! We are of the LIVING WATER, to follow any other is death. We are the star and we have the authority of I AM.

Revelation 16:4-7, " And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and the fountains of water; and they became blood. And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shall be, because thou hast judged thus. For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink: for they are worthy. And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments."

We saw the sounding of the third trumpet was the sounding of how false religious rivers, and the fountians of man's doctrine turned bitter. Each church age has a message, and the message to the third church was, "See that you hurt not the oil and the wine". Every age demanded a response from those that received the Word of the Lord. And their response was as ours is today, either acceptance or rejection of what we hear from the I AM. Back then, their response of their acceptance or rejection resulted in the pouring out of the vial for that age.

In the pouring out of the third vial, John continues to see the destruction unto all who would not receive THE TRUTH. So the third vial is poured out upon the (spiritual) rivers, or the the fountains of MEN and the waters became blood. The blood of the Lamb cried out against all evil and falsity. An example of this can be seen in Acts 17:22-34. It was Paul's sermon at Mars Hill. He saw all the temples built for idolistic worship of Greek mythologhy. At the altar he saw the inscription, "TO THE UNKNOWN GOD". He told them that they were superstitious, then in one message fo the truth of Jesus, Paul disannulled their entire form of idol worship. Those who rejected his message, perished by the continuous drinking of "bitter waters and death". This was true also of the Jews.

The Truth of the message of the work of the cross caused the Blood of the Lamb of God to be poured out into their pollutited rivers and fountains of messages , false messages.

This third church age ended with the Council of Nicaes. There was always a true and faithful people throughout the third church age, in each church age.

Today, we see a people who is faithful to hearing HIS Truth, that is spoken within us. Many, when we share what the trumpet has said to us, will not allow themselves to HEAR it , let alone believe it. They hold on to their "superstitions" of the past. Instead of listening, taking it to the Spirit, they leave us; some that have been our friends for years. Their rivers will become bitter to them in time. The waters that they have been living in, with all of its pollution, will grow old to them. And they will look at us, and see HIM and LIFE and JOY. Yes, the very Joy that He gave us for the saddness we endured while one after another, left us. But, remember, "the One like unto ...." is well into being seen. Amen.

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?
