UNDERSTANDING THE BOOK OF REVELATION 9/4/07

                                                PART 7

 

 

We are looking at the four beasts, here in Chapter 4 of the Book of Revelation. Are you seeing anything in this series that you haven't noticed before? If you are, you have opened your Being, Spirit, and are allowing Him to bring forth all of this that is already within you. Isn't Eloheim breathtaking? I want to say something about the word "beasts'. The natural mind dreams up all sorts of pictures of beasts walking around looking like a lion, or eagle or a calf. And that mind always puts these pictures in a body of a man. Past teachings have made us think that understanding His Truth is such a laboring thing. But, when we focus on Who we truely are, that mind is cleared of all the "dust of the earth" and we see clearly. We ARE a "sea of people, understanding perfectly, with no pollution. The great thing is that, as we receive the understanding and allow NO ONE to take our focus off of the truths we are shown, we begin to manifest it in our life. It is like being sound asleep, in that DEEP sleep; and someone comes in and shakes our shoulder softly, to wake us up. And at first, we don't want to wake up. We are dreaming and we want to see how the dream ends. But they shake us a little bit more and we begin to open our eyes, leaving the dream and facing the reality. This is happening right now, with us. Isn't it wonderful??

 

I looked up this word, "beasts", in Strong's Concordance. The two numbers for the definition is #2226 and #2198. #2198 is where the definition in #2226 came from. #2198 means: to live (literally or figuritively); life (time); (a) live; live (ly); quick. So, some call these "beasts", LIVING ONES and I think I like that description better than, beasts. Doesn't these definitions sort of do away with the picture of a literal beast with different faces? These descriptions that we will be looking at is describing that one that John saw in Chapter 1:13. In Chapter 1:13, the COMPLETED MANIFESTATION was being seen by John. All that we are going through now, is showing us what all is and was inside that "one like unto the son of man". And WHO is that one in chapter 1:13? It is us. Manifesting Eloheim, in every way. Within us are all that we will be seeing. Some of what we will see, has already been removed from the delusional thinking that we have been living in. Some have not passed out from it yet, and some are yet to enter into their journey through it. But, we DO KNOW that HIS PLAN cannot be stopped. Amen.

 

Actually these different " appearances" of these beasts, or rather LIVING ONES, I see as attitudes that came from KNOWING their nature. The nature of each face show forth the True Identity; and remember these four, are within us. Now, when we read the descriptions, we automatically think of Jesus. But, why not? He is the Pattern. But, if we search we can see ourselves, our Real selves also.

Revelation 4:7, "And the first living one (beast) was like a lion..." The word "was" was added. "the first living one like a lion". What is the first thing that comes to mind, in the natural realm, when you think of the lion? KING of the jungle. Jesus was seen by Matthew as the King. Matthew was a tax collector was very much in the knowing of the rich people, the poor people and the middle class people. He met all levels of people. As a business man, dealing with the public, do businessmen not recognize the wealthy and the power, and level of acceptance that they have in the world? I believe that Matther recognized the KINGSHIP of Jesus. The authority that showed forth through Him. In the natural, there is an aire about most wealthy, powerful people. The same was true with Jesus; EXCEPT His power; His authority; His aire that came forth from Him WAS ALL GOD!!! His aire was not snobbish; self centeredness; or arrogance. It was the aire of a King that loved His countrymen. It was an aire that led all to God. He was FIERCE about His Father's Truths. Remember when He told people, you will search those written scriptures, but you won't come to me; meaning take the time to spend in the Spirit, for Truth. He was ferocious about His "Father's treasures". Remember when He tore the temple up when the priests were acting as money lenders? He was protective over His own. Have you seen a mother lion, when she is teaching her cubs, survival? She can pretty testy with them, when need be. Yet, at the same time, she teaches them how to handle themselves in the wilderness. A LION represents Kingship. So how does this description fit you and me? Rev. 1:6, "He hath made US KINGS......" WE ARE ALSO OF A ROYAL PRIESTHOOD!!! AND don't forget, in whose image we ARE created in!! So yes, this could and does describe Jesus, but who is this coming forth through, here in the Book of Revelation? "ONE LIKE UNTO THE SON OF MAN". The many membered One. US. Jesus said, "all power (authority) is given to me in heaven and earth." (Mt.28:18) And what is OUR TRUTH? "Of His FULLNESS have we all RECEIVED " Be FIERCE in what you have received and of what you have been shown by the Spirit. Let NO MAN OR WOMAN limit you by saying, "you are a mere mortal, you can do nothing". Stand FIERCELY in what you KNOW, regardless of what the religious men say about you. WE HAVE THE NATURE OF THE LION!!!!

 

Revelation 4:7, " and the second living one (beast) like a calf" I don't remember seeing what Mark was by trade. But, Mark sees, as Ezekiel saw; a calf or ox. He saw Jesus as a servant. When I think of a servant, the first word that comes to my mind is : HUMBLE. A servant is not arrogant; pushy; or self centered. He KNOWS his job is to serve others and usually a real servant, bends over backwards to please the master. Someone might tell the servant something, but the only commands he listens to is his master. AND he does ONLY what his master tells him to do. Are we servants, when called to be? What is our focus? "Be not hearers of the Word, be doers of the Word". This does not mean, "stay busy with church activities". It means do ONLY what you hear the Master tell you to do, regardless of what others tell you. "SERVE the Lord thy God with all your Spirit, soul and body". Allow, "God to direct your footsteps". This is the heart of a servant. And servants we are.

 

Revelation 4:7, "and the third living one (beast) had the face as a man". The only thing I am going to say about this beast is; this definitely describes the man Jesus. But have you looked in the mirror lately? Jesus did not look like Who He really was. Neither do we UNLESS we look at each other through the eyes of Who we are One in. Others might not know Who they are, BUT WE KNOW WHO THEY ARE and we should treat them as Who they are, not what they look like.

 

Revelation 4:7, "and the fourth beast like a flying eagle". The eagle represents so much. It is the bird that flys highest, in the heavens. It is thought of as one that brings the truth from the heavens, to the earth. It has such keen eyesight. (understanding.) The eagle represents God. Haven't you ever soared into the heavenlies and when you shared what you saw there to a friend, did not you both soar hight above the natural thinking. You experienced the eagle.

 

I want you to think about something. When we are come against by those who say whatever they will say, think this:

He was LORD OF LORDS. And KING OF KINGS. This means that there is more than one Lord, and more than one King; although ALL the Lords and ALL the Kings are united in ONE. He was called "the light of the world" and HE told us that we are the light of the world". He was known as the Lamb of God. As we shall see a little further in this series, SO ARE WE. He was called the Word. We are called living epistles. We are told that we ARE in His image. And that as He is, so are we in this world. Just as the four beasts or living ones were in ONE; UNITED; and IN AGREEMENT , so are we. We have just been described here in chapter four! Oh yes, we have followed the Pattern to the tee. And we are ready for the MANIFESTING to be seen in a many membered body, "like unto the son of man". And now we are stepping into Fatherhood, because we are awakening to our True Identity.

 

Revelation 4:8-11 speak so the joy within us, because we are what is within us. The wings speak of flying. We go as the Spirit that we are. WE go as Him, and Him as us. No hesitation. We speak what we hear from the Spirit without regard to anyone or anything, but that Spirit that we are. Within us, and I know for a fact that some of us feel, not the natural feeling, but we feel within us, the twentyfour elders praising and worshiping Who and What I AM. And NOW we understand that ALL were/ARE for HIS good pleasure. Because as He is so are we. He is pleased when He looks at Himself, and we should be too. Take the religion out of all of it my friends, and we see clearly as we look in the glass.

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