| THIRD LETTER "PERGAMOS" REV. 2:12-17 READ REV 2:12-17, HE WITH THE SHARP SWORD SAYS, I KNOW THY WORKS AND WHERE THOU DWELLEST EVEN WHERE SATAN'S (AN OPPONENT, ADVERSARY, TO WITHSTAND, THAT WHICH OPPOSES) SEAT (POSITION OF RULER) IS (LOCATED). THE SEAT OF A MAN IS HIS WILL (THE FACULTY BY WHICH ONE DELIBERATELY CHOOSES OR DECIDES UPON A COURSE OF ACTION, VOLITION). TO PROGRESS IN GOD, THE WILL OF "MAN" MUST COME UNDER THE AUTHORITY OF THE FATHER. ANTIPAS (INSTEAD OF OR AS THE FATHER) WAS SLAIN (NOT PERMITTED TO RULE) AMONG (AMID) YOU, WHERE SATAN (OPPOSITION) DWELLETH. I HAVE A FEW THINGS AGAINST THEE, THOU HAST THERE THEM THAT HOLD THE DOCTRINE OF BALAAM AND THE DOCTRINE OF THE NICOLAITANS. IN (NUM. 22-25:3) NOT READING BUT POINTING OUT (NUM. 22:20-21), IF THE MEN COME TO CALL, BUT HE ROSE UP AND WENT. IN CHAPTER 23, BALAAM TESTS THE WORD OF THE LORD THREE TIMES. IN NUM. 24:12-13, HE CANNOT GO BEYOND THE WORD OF THE LORD BUT HE GIVES THE WORD TO BALAK (HIS NAME MEANS, WASTER, OR TO ANNIHILATE), CASTING GOD'S PEARLS BEFORE SWINE. VS. 15, "AND HE (BALAK) TOOK UP HIS (BALAAM'S) PARABLE, AND SAID, TO MOSES (PARAPHRASED), I HAVE A WORD FROM THE LORD, AND I KNOW WHAT YOU WILL DO TO MY PEOPLE IN THE END. THE STAR OUT OF JACOB WILL DESTROY US AND VS. 23, "ALAS, WHO SHALL LIVE WHEN GOD DOETH THIS!" THEREFORE, LET US LIVE IN PEACE UNTIL THEN. NUM. 25:1-3, THE ISRAELITES REMAIN AND COMMIT SPIRITUAL WHOREDOM WITH THE DAUGHTERS OF MOAB. THE PEOPLE DID EAT AND BOW DOWN TO THEIR GODS. REPENT; OR I WILL FIGHT AGAINST THEM WITH THE SWORD OF MY MOUTH. TO HIM THAT OVERCOMETH WILL I GIVE TO EAT OF THE HIDDEN MANNA (JOHN 6:32-58) AND WILL GIVE HIM A WHITE "LIGHT OR FIRE" STONE (FOUNDATION STONE), AND IN THE STONE A NEW NAME WRITTEN, (IF WE EAT HIS FLESH, WE HAVE HIS NAME, REV. 19:12-13) "THE WORD OF GOD" WHICH NO "MAN" KNOWETH SAVING HE THAT RECEIVETH IT. THIRD SEAL "BLACK HORSE" REV. 6:5-6 READ REV. 6:5-6, THE THIRD OF THE FOUR BEASTS WAS A MAN FACED, AND IS THE ASPECT OF THE PERSONALITY OF MAN KNOWN AS HIS WILL. THE BLACK HORSE (LOSE CONSCIOUSNESS, BLACK OUT, GO TO SLEEP) APPEARS AND (PHIL. 3:13) "THIS ONE THING I DO, FORGETTING THOSE THINGS WHICH ARE BEHIND." AND HE THAT SAT ON HIM HAD A PAIR OF BALANCES IN HIS HAND. (THE WORD "BALANCES" IS NOT FOUND IN THE ORIGINAL TEXT). THE IDEA OF BALANCE COMES FROM THE WORD "PAIR" (STRONGS 2218, TO JOIN OR YOKE, IN SERVITUDE OR DISCIPLESHIP), (MATT. 11:28-30), "TAKE MY YOKE UPON YOU, AND LEARN OF ME;" HECALLS TO US AS H DRAWS US TO BECOME HIS DISCIPLES. THE TABLE OF SHOWBREAD HAD TWELVE LOAVES UPON IT (THE BREAD OF DISCIPLESHIP). THE OLD PROGRAM OF OUR HUMAN WILL IS GIVEN BALANCE WITH NEW PROGRAM WHICH IS THE ABILITY TO KNOW AND CHOOSE THE DIVINE WILL. THE LOW PRICE OF GRAIN FOR MAKING BREAD INDICATES A DROUGHT (AS SEED IS WORTHLESS WHEN THERE IS NO WATER) (READ AMOS 8:11). "BEHOLD, THE DAY COME, SAITH THE LORD GOD, THAT I WILL SEND A FAMINE IN THE LAND, NOT A FAMINE OF BREAD, NOR A THIRST FOR WATER, BUT OF HEARING THE WORDS OF THE LORD." BUT PRAISE GOD, "THOSE WHO HUNGER AND THIRST AFTER RIGHTEOUSNESS SHALL BE FILLED," FOR THERE IS NO SHORTAGE OF OIL (ANOINTING) OR WINE (POWER OF THE SPIRIT). THIRD TRUMPET "ON THE RIVERS" REV. 8:10-11 READ REV. 8:10-11. THE DRAGON HAD ALREADY BEEN CAST OUT (LUKE 10:18 & REV. 12:4), AND NOW HIS TAIL (THAT WHICH FOLLOWS, REV. 12:9), BRINGS DOWN HIS ANGELS (STAR MESENGERS OF THE SYSTEM OF THE LAW), "BURNING AS IT WERE A LAMP," AS IT APPEARS TO BE THE WORD OF GOD, BUT IT BRINGS POISON TO THE WATERS (REV. 17:15 & 19:6), AS PEOPLES, MULTITUDES, NATION, AND TONGUES). "THERE FELL A GREAT STAR FROM HEAVEN," AND THEIR MESSAGE FALLS UPON THE RIVERS, AND UPON THE FOUNTAINS (THE SOURCES) OF WATER (WORD). THIS SYSTEM OF FALSE LIGHT (IS. 14:12-16) IS NAMED WORMWOOD (HEB. 3939 STRONGS, SEE GLOSSARY) AND MANY MEN DIED OF (BECAUSE GAVE EAR TO) THE WATERS BECAUSE THEY WERE MADE BITTER (4087 STRONGS, SEE GLOSSARY). READ PROV. 5:1-8, BITTERNESS AND SORROW COME FROM EATING THE LITTLE BOOK OF THE LAW (REV. 10:9-11). THE LAW ROBS BELIEVERS OF THEIR "JOY" (WHICH IS THEIR STRENGTH). THE LETTER OF THE LAW KILLS JOY (5479 STRONGS, SEE GLOSSARY) BUT THE SPIRIT OF THE MESSAGE OF GRACE GIVES JOY AND LIFE. THE THIRD TRUMPET CALLS US TO RECIEVE THE JOY OF THE LORD. HE SAID HE WOULD TURN SORROW INTO GLADNESS. (JOHN 7:38), OUT OF THE BELLY OF THOSE (WHO HAVE RECIEVED THE MESSAGE OF JOY AND FREEDOM IN THE SPIRIT) COMES THE SOURCE OF JOY, THE "RIVERS OF LIVING WATER." READ IS. 35:1-10, THE MESSAGE OF THE SYSTEM (BEAST) OF ECCLESIASTICAL BABYLON CAUSES SORROW, BUT THE MESSAGE OF THE SONS OF GOD BRINGS JOY. THIRD SIGN "THIRD ANGEL" REV. 14:9-13 READ REV. 14:9-13, REMEMBER THE SECOND ANGEL SAID, ALL NATIONS HAD DRUNK OF THE WINE OF THE WRATH (PASSION) OF HER (BABYLON'S) FORNICATION (SELLING). NOW HEAR THE THIRD ANGEL'S MESSAGE TO THOSE WHO WORSHIP THE BEAST AND HIS IMAGE AND RECIEVE HIS MARK IN THEIR FOREHEAD OR IN THEIR HAND. THEY SHALL DRINK THE WINE OF GOD'S WRATH (PASSION) WHICH IS POURED OUT WITHOUT MIXTURE INTO THE CUP OF HIS INDIGNATION (3709 STRONGS, SEE GLOSSARY); AND HE SHALL BE TORMENTED WITH FIRE AND BRIMSTONE IN THE PRESENCE OF THE HOLY ANGELS, AND THE LAMB: THIS (HOLY FIRE) MUST BE RECIEVED OR THERE WILL BE NO REST (FOR THE SOUL) DAY OR NIGHT. HEB. 4:3,10, "FOR WE WHICH HAVE BELIEVED DO ENTER INTO REST...FOR HE THAT IS ENTERED INTO HIS REST, HE ALSO HATH CEASED FROM HIS OWN WORKS..." HERE IS THE PATIENCE (5281 STRONGS, SEE GLOSSARY) OF THE SAINTS: HERE ARE THEY THAT KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD, AND THE FAITH OF JESUS. AND I HEARD A VOICE FROM HEAVEN SAYING UNTO ME, WRITE, BLESSED ARE THE DEAD WHICH DIE IN THE LORD FROM HENCEFORTH; YEA, SAITH THE (24) |
