The revelation or unveiling of Jesus Christ continues to unfold with the second seal being broken:

Revelation 6:3 When He opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, “Come.”

4 Another horse, fiery red, went out. And it was granted to the one who sat on it to take peace from the earth, and that people should kill one another; and there was given to him a great sword.

This horse of speed and strength is described as the color of fire.  This is the purging, purification phase where anything that is unfruitful in our lives will be burned up.  We will be cleansed of those impurities in the deep recesses of our being.  Nothing will be left to chance before we are commissioned in His army and operate at the fullness of our specific callings.  Failure will not be in our vocabulary and people will see and benefit from the fullness of Christ ministering before their very eyes.  There will be no more compromise or self-motivating actions passing themselves off as “called” of GOD.  The false prophecies shall cease being accepted in blind faith.  Isaiah 33 describes those who have been processed by the All Consuming Fire:

15 Those who are honest and fair,

who refuse to profit by fraud,

who stay far away from bribes,

who refuse to listen to those who plot murder,

who shut their eyes to all enticement to do wrong—

16 these are the ones who will dwell on high.

The rocks of the mountains will be their fortress.

Food will be supplied to them,

and they will have water in abundance.  NLT

The Flaming Fire must be done swiftly and with great strength, hence the red horse is depicted in the second aspect of the revealing.  What happens to us once we are fully prepared by Him?  We too have been given charge to ride in the same sense as He rides through “Our land” and Joel 2 verse 5 describes us in this setting:

With a noise like chariots
Over mountaintops they leap,
Like the noise of a flaming fire that devours the stubble,
Like a strong people set in battle array.

A refiner’s fire is focused on 100% purity of the metal being prepared for us.  Pure gold represents Divine Life and it is virtually translucent when totally pure.  There is nothing hidden from the eye.  We must become an open book as we are perfected in Christ.  Only those with a pure heart shall “see” GOD and will be found acceptable to minister in His army of saints.  Bring on the fire!  With a loud and mighty voice, proclaim “Come!”.  Self must die.

How long will this process take?  Only FATHER knows.  The Pachal Lamb cycle for preparing the sacrificial lamb for Passover lasted 532 days or 7 x 76 days.  76 is the number of cleansing and Spiritual maturity or perfection is represented throughout Scripture by the number 7.  This cycle was instituted to insure the lamb was without spot so that it would be acceptable to  GOD.  Psalms 12 speaks of this cleansing process:

6  The words of the LORD are pure words,
Like silver tried in a furnace of earth,
Purified seven times.

In the Book of Daniel there were the three young Hebrew men who would not compromise their callings and  refused to bow down to a graven image of Nebuchadnezzar by the world.  They were Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-Nego.  Because of their full commitment to THE LORD, they were subjected to Babylon’s judgment.  In Daniel 3 the king is furious with these three and commands the furnace to be heated up seven times greater:

19 Then Nebuchadnezzar was full of fury, and the expression on his face changed toward Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego. He spoke and commanded that they heat the furnace seven times more than it was usually heated.

Little did the king know that he actually perfected these young men and what was the result?  A fourth man appeared in the fiery furnace:

24 Then King Nebuchadnezzar was astonished; and he rose in haste and spoke, saying to his counselors, “Did we not cast three men bound into the midst of the fire?”

They answered and said to the king, “True, O king.”

25 “Look!” he answered, “I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire; and they are not hurt, and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.”

Jesus will lead us through the full cleansing by fire in order that we may come out on the other side fully qualified to take up our ministry in His Body as one of the priests in the Order of Melchizedek.  This refining will function to fully separate the pure from the impure.  His great sword is the Word and it will do the separating or dividing in us.  “Self” will have no peace as this process will root out all aspects of its hold on us.  There will be no peace or safety proclaimed any longer by this “self” nature.  We will no longer be satisfied with spending time, energy, and resources to be entertained as an “anesthesia” to dull the pain of chronic problems, unrighteousness and lawlessness rising up in the flesh.  Jesus reveals the fact that He is the Rider of the red horse:

Matthew 10:34 “Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword.”

Trials, tests, and tribulation come but instead of praying for FATHER to remove them, we must instead pray that HE reveals the path through them and reveal the Wisdom from Above to properly navigate the path to success.  Our faith is perfected in these times of testing.  Those who are called, chosen, and faithful will experience this level of purification.  Don’t worry about those living the apparent “good life”.  Their peace in their earth will be turned upside down when the final battle is waged and won.  Their restoration and reconciliation will simply arrive later in the biggest of pictures.  In the meantime, the tares will grow with the wheat until harvest.

The battle is between our two natures.  One is being conquered into full submission.  Paul spoke of the  two wills or the two “I’s” in Romans.  The occupiers of Our Promised Land must be driven out and the fire of the red horse is fully qualified to cleanse the land.  This will surely not be a time of peace.  After the cleansing we are prepared to ascend onto our horse and receive our commissioning.  Joshua experienced this “commissioning” as he was proceeding to war:

Joshua 5:

4 So He said, “No, but as Commander of the army of the LORD I have now come.”

And Joshua fell on his face to the earth and worshiped, and said to Him, “What does my Lord say to His servant?”

15 Then the Commander of the LORD’s army said to Joshua, “Take your sandal off your foot, for the place where you stand is holy.” And Joshua did so.

There is not enough room for the two types of occupants to live in your land.  One will live and the other must die.  Paul focuses on this reality in Romans 8:

13 For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

The red horse cometh.

Joel 2:1 Blow the trumpet in Zion,

​​And sound an alarm in My holy mountain!

​​Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble;

​​For the day of the LORD is coming,

​​For it is at hand:

2 ​​A day of darkness and gloominess,

​​A day of clouds and thick darkness,

​​Like the morning clouds spread over the mountains.

​​A people come, great and strong,

​​The like of whom has never been;

​​Nor will there ever be any such after them,

​​Even for many successive generations.

​3 ​​A fire devours before them,

​​And behind them a flame burns;

​​The land is like the Garden of Eden before them,

​​And behind them a desolate wilderness;

​​Surely nothing shall escape them.

4 ​​Their appearance is like the appearance of horses;

​​And like swift steeds, so they run.

The horse and their riders are symbolic of those who do battle and their horses are known as “war” horses.  Jesus is depicted as leading the army while riding a white horse.  The first four seals are represented as four horsemen.  A battle is conducted for taking possession of land and/or resource.  It is about overcoming and conquering whatever is currently occupying or possessing our land. 

The first seal was opened or loosed in Revelation 6:

First Seal: The Conqueror

1 Now I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals; and I heard one of the four living creatures saying with a loud voice like thunder, “Come!”

2 And I looked, and behold, a white horse. He who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer.

The four living creatures represent the ruling aspect of the Throne whereas the twenty-four elders represent the priesthood ministry.  The ruling ministration of the Spirit of power and authority broadcast in a Voice of Thunder in an emphatic manner- “Come!”

This is a lone horseman with a crown and it surely represents Jesus who later is found riding the same white horse leading an army of saints.  He appears first as the “Alpha” described in John 1:1 and in Revelation 19 as the Omega with the Sons of Love in full battle array following Him wherever HE goes:

Rev 14:4  These are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever He goes. These were redeemed from among men, being firstfruits to God and to the Lamb.

Recall previous writings where we are told many are called but few are chosen.  The ones chosen have been faithful to the revelation of the Sons of GOD and have set aside every hindrance that would take their focus away from fully maturing as a Son.  They are further described in Revelation 17:14-

“These will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with Him are called, chosen, and faithful.”

The first seal refers to a revealing or revelation of the Book of Life.  The flesh must be overcome with purity, Divine Holiness, and  righteousness.  A cleansing must occur to remove spot and wrinkle.  It is all out war with the flesh, the carnal nature of man.  The illumination of Jesus Christ brings forth a white light, the fullness of the rainbow.  Our lights must shine forth and not be hindered by the flesh.  Both the bow and the sword represent the Word OF FATHER and assure swift victory.

The battleground is in us, not in some distant valley for all to observe via satellite.  ‘Christ in us’ will be victorious over all that would easily beset us.  He is the lone rider on the white horse Who will conquer the land in us and will claim the land and resources as inheritance to be used as His Body as He mounts the final battle to bring forth glory unto all the earth.  Every enemy within us who would promote “antichrist” and raise itself up in opposition will be overcome.  Every enemy within you must be conquered before you can be qualified to ride with Christ in His Army.  Just consider how Saul of Tarsus was conquered in order to become Paul!  Jesus conquered death and hell and sees no issue in conquering those inhabitants in your Promised Land.

John heard the command “Come!”.  It was not directed to him but a proclamation he heard for the Rider to come forth and conquer our land.  I also say “Come!”  The result- we will be strengthened with all might according to His riches in Glory.  We will be fruitful in every good work and we will walk in the fullness of joy and life more abundantly.

As we say in the Southwest… Let’s ride!

We appreciate those who faithfully provide financial support to this ministry each month.  I read your letters of encouragement as well.  You are the cheerful givers FATHER gives reference to.

When the seals of a book are broken, the contents are revealed.  The contents are not blank pages but instead contain the work already manifested by the intent of the Author but not yet fully revealed.

The revelation of Jesus Christ is an unveiling, a removal of the mystery to see the Truth that is contained therein.  Paul wrote of this mystery from the Treasury of Heaven:

Colossians 1:27 To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

Christ is in us!  This is a critical message you must embrace if you expect to operate in the fullness of HIS calling on your life.  How much of HIM is in us?  The full portion, the fullness, the complete package.  I have many oak trees on my property.  Now is the time when these oak trees drop their acorns.  I have literally thousands of acorns from a few oak trees.  In each acorn is the fullness of power to become a mighty oak just like the one where the acorn originated from.  The hope is that our minds be fully renewed to embrace the mystery of this reality.  The power is hidden and protected by seals until the day your final seal of the seven is broken.  Seven is the number of spiritual maturity or perfection.  Each seal must be broken and not one can remain.  Quit looking for some external Divine impartation as being the key to walking in the fullness of Christ.  HE is already in you and the hope is that your eyes will be opened so the seals can be broken.

A circumcised heart is not the making of a new heart but revealing the heart after the “foreskin” has been removed.  The first thing the men of Israel had to do before they entered the battles in the Promised Land was to have their foreskins removed with a sharp knife (emphasis on sharp ):

Joshua 5: 2 At that time the LORD said to Joshua, “Make flint knives for yourself, and circumcise the sons of Israel again the second time.”

3 So Joshua made flint knives for himself, and circumcised the sons of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.

4 And this is the reason why Joshua circumcised them: All the people who came out of Egypt who were males, all the men of war, had died in the wilderness on the way, after they had come out of Egypt.

5 For all the people who came out had been circumcised, but all the people born in the wilderness, on the way as they came out of Egypt, had not been circumcised.

6 For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the people who were men of war, who came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they did not obey the voice of the LORD—to whom the LORD swore that He would not show them the land which the LORD had sworn to their fathers that He would give us, “a land flowing with milk and honey.”

7 Then Joshua circumcised their sons whom He raised up in their place; for they were uncircumcised, because they had not been circumcised on the way.

8 So it was, when they had finished circumcising all the people, that they stayed in their places in the camp till they were healed.

9 Then the LORD said to Joshua, “This day I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you.” Therefore the name of the place is called Gilgal to this day.

Gilgal means “rolling”.  This is the location where Abraham stopped when he first entered the land of Canaan.  This place represents a full commitment to moving forth in HIS will.  The men of Israel “cut” a blood covenant at the time of circumcision.  Abram received the Word from FATHER at the same location among the oak trees:

Genesis 12:5 Then Abram took Sarai his wife and Lot his brother’s son, and all their possessions that they had gathered, and the people whom they had acquired in Haran, and they departed to go to the land of Canaan. So they came to the land of Canaan.

6 Abram passed through the land to the place of Shechem, as far as the terebinth (Oak) tree of Moreh (teacher).  And the Canaanites were then in the land.

7 Then the LORD appeared to Abram and said, “To your descendants I will give this land.” And there he built an altar to the LORD, who had appeared to him.

Our flesh must be removed in order for us to reveal Christ in us.  Our spirit is as a walled city like Jericho and the walls must come down.  Our spirit is like an acorn with the tough, outer protective shell that contains the full and complete genetic material required to produce a huge oak at full maturity.  Abram understood this as he was being “taught” among the oaks at Gilgal.  His promise was spoken in terms of “seed”.  He met Melchizedek there:

Genesis 14:18 Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine; he was the priest of God Most High. 19 And he blessed him and said:

​​​“Blessed be Abram of God Most High,

​​Possessor of heaven and earth;

20 ​​And blessed be God Most High,

​​Who has delivered your enemies into your hand.”

Abraham’s circumcision, covenant, and name change were given at the same location at the place of the circumcision fulfilled by Joshua.  Isaac, the son of Promise, was born 13 years after the Promise was given at the oaks of Gilgal (Gen 18:1).

The seals must be broken; the walls must come down; the flesh must be removed so the HIS Glory may be revealed from within us for that is where the Temple of the Holy Spirit is located.  The Glory is in the Temple but it must be unveiled, the veil must be “rent”.  Let him who has eyes to see understand this precious Truth from the Treasury!  Paul stated this Truth and mystery In Ephesians 1:

17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him,

18 the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,

19 and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power.

Paul also stated:

Romans 8:18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

19 For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God.

Think about it!

The word “abdicate” means to renounce or relinquish a throne, right, power, claim, responsibility, or the like, especially in a formal manner.

We are all given the freedom to choose our path.  Our Sovereign FATHER gave us this right.  There has been much debate about whether we have free choice or GOD is sovereign.  The answer to this question is “both”.  HE is sovereign and has the right over all of creation.  However, HE gave us the power and ability to choose.  Yes, we have been given power and authority to choose and do so everyday.

Adam and Eve were given this power and authority to choose in the garden.  There was a transfer of authority to Adam when he was brought forth.  FATHER did not create a robot to simply follow HIS every instruction.  Instead, HE created man with the ability to think and choose for himself.  This would allow man to grow in wisdom, understanding, and knowledge, and to discern right from wrong.  Up above all, man would understand Love, FATHER’S Divine Intent.  Those of us with children look forward to the day when our kids begin to express Love toward us.  When your child wants to climb up in your lap and dwell there, that event is priceless.  When Love is expressed, it represents the highest form of free choice.

If man had no choice, the Bible would only need to be conveyed in 500 words of less.  The Book of Beginnings stated the transfer of power and authority to mankind:

Genesis 1:26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”

27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.

28 Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

This word “dominion” means to rule, subjugate, tread down.  FATHER created and assigned certain power and authority of HIS creation over to man to rule.  A key factor in this authority is understanding the laws in place which are higher laws that supersede the assignment given to man.  FATHER had already established the law of reaping and sowing, seedtime and harvest.  This law prevailed no matter who was assigned dominion.  Thus if you sow “death”, you reap “death”, the choice is yours.  It is also true that if you sow life, your reap life.  This law cuts both ways.  There will be repercussions to breaking the Law but the choice is yours.

In the Book of Revelation, the Sons of Love have come to full maturity and now sing a new song of victory:

5: 9 And they sang a new song, saying:

​​​“You are worthy to take the scroll,

​​And to open its seals;

​​For You were slain,

​​And have redeemed us to God by Your blood

​​Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,

10 ​​And have made us kings and priests to our God;

​​And we shall reign on the earth.”

Notice that they all acknowledge that Our Lord Jesus Christ MADE US kings and priests.  Once again, we see assignment of power and authority.  To what purpose?  To minister to all mankind the Love of THE FATHER.  Their new song proclaims “we shall reign on the earth”, the ministry of the priest.  The second group beyond the Throne then sings out:

11 Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands, 12 saying with a loud voice:

​​​“Worthy is the Lamb who was slain

​​To receive power and riches and wisdom,

​​And strength and honor and glory and blessing!”

The finally John reveals what the third group is singing beyond the Throne.  This group covers the rest of mankind:

13 And every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying:

​​“Blessing and honor and glory and power

​​Be to Him who sits on the throne,

​​And to the Lamb, forever and ever!

After all three groups have sung the new song of their revelation of THE LAMB, the first group, the Sons of GOD conclude with an affirmation.  These expressions or choruses toward the Lamb on the Throne began with the Sons and ended with the Sons:

14 Then the four living creatures said, “Amen!” And the twenty-four elders fell down and worshiped Him who lives forever and ever.

The following question must be asked:  How can the Lamb receive power if FATHER has already made the Lamb King of kings over all of creation?  The Sons of GOD abdicate the power given unto them by FATHER and is expressed by the following verses:

Revelation 4:9 Whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to Him who sits on the throne, who lives forever and ever,

10 the twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying:

​11 ​​“You are worthy, O Lord,

​​To receive glory and honor and power;

​​For You created all things,

​​And by Your will they exist and were created.”

The Sons abdicated their assigned power and authority by casting their crowns before HIS Throne and they referenced the original assignment of power and authority given in Genesis.  Now we can have a greater appreciation of The LORD’s Prayer when we proclaim:

Your kingdom come.
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.

We abdicate our power and authority to you and we cast our crowns before you to affirm that we fully submit to your authority in our individual lives.  Amen!

Once these visions given to John become fully manifested, the Sons will fulfill their calling to rule and reign under the leadership of THE LAMB on the Throne.  They will be Divinely enabled to carry out their individual callings to rule and reign as kings and priests.  This power will be observable by all and move all toward repentance, reconciliation, and restoration.  No man, woman, or child will be able to resist the Love expressed by the Sons.  All sin will be exposed and dealt with by Love.  Paul wrote of this in Romans 8:

19 For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God.

20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope;

21 because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

Thankfully, the Sons have chosen HIS WAY and have abdicated one lower level of authority and have been given a higher level of authority based on Love.  The crescendo the climax and grand finale of the new song is at hand!

Throughout Scripture, names were given to described the character or nature of the individual.  Each name selected was carefully chosen.  One of the noted examples in Scripture was Jacob whose name means “supplanter” or manipulator:

Genesis 25:24 So when her days were fulfilled for her to give birth, indeed there were twins in her womb.

25 And the first came out red. He was like a hairy garment all over; so they called his name Esau.

26 Afterward his brother came out, and his hand took hold of Esau’s heel; so his name was called Jacob.  Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them.

27 So the boys grew. And Esau was a skillful hunter, a man of the field; but Jacob was a mild man, dwelling in tents. 28 And Isaac loved Esau because he ate of his game, but Rebekah loved Jacob.

Supplanter often refers to governments and rulers of countries, and it comes from the verb supplant, which evolved from the Latin supplantare, meaning "to trip up or to overthrow";  one who wrongfully or illegally seizes and holds the place of another.

By holding on to Esau’s heel, Jacob was viewed as trying to overtake Esau during birth and coming out of the womb first.  The first one out was to receive the birthright of Abraham and Isaac.  Jacob attempted to become the inheritor by his own fleshly, carnal action.  Esau was named in reference to how he looked (red and hairy), Jacob was named by what he did (supplant).

FATHER had told her before their Rebekah before the twins’ birth:

23 And the LORD said to her:

​​​“Two nations are in your womb,

​​Two peoples shall be separated from your body;

​​One people shall be stronger than the other,

​​And the older shall serve the younger.”

Jacob dwelt in a tent (booth, Tabernacle) whereas Esau was a skillful hunter in the field, one who could provide for himself.  There is much said of how Jacob would manipulate others (such as Esau) and  he reaped what he sowed when he met Laban.  Laban manipulated Jacob for an extra 14 years when Jacob desired to marry his daughter Rachel.  Jacob finally flees from Laban and has an encounter with the Face of FATHER.  He wrestled with the angel all night and ultimately Jacob had a character change.  Afterward, in Genesis 32:

28 And He said, “Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel; for you have struggled with God and with men, and have prevailed.”

29 Then Jacob asked, saying, “Tell me Your name, I pray.”

And He said, “Why is it that you ask about My name?” And He blessed him there.

30 So Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: “For I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.”

In order for your name to be changed, your nature must change.  The time of manipulation and lawlessness is at an end.  FATHER has chosen those who have given up all to become perfected IN HIM.  They are submitting to a full character change which includes stripping off the old man, behold all things are new.  As this is happening, a name change is in order:

Isaiah 61:6 

But you shall be named the priests of the LORD,
They shall call you the servants of our God.
You shall eat the riches of the Gentiles,
And in their glory you shall boast.

A king reigns and a priest serves.  In the past, most people wanted to be king without being a priest.  They missed the key ingredient of Love which characteristically serves mankind.  I have found that men were willing to preach on just about any subject other than Love.  Why?  It would make them accountable and responsible to walk in Love.  Their carnal nature resisted that path to such a great degree because they truly wanted to be exalted in their knowledge by those who followed their ministry.  Instead, they should have been moving their followers to a closer relationship with FATHER, functioning to bridge the gap so that those of less maturity could ultimately develop their own relationship with Our Heavenly Father.  The function of the priest is to reconcile and restore, not maintain separation.  Puffed up knowledge without Love never truly restores for it maintains a loftiness most can never grasp or attain.  It belittles others as it exalts itself.

Let our nature be fully changed into HIS nature and let us be worthy of the name change to “priest” as well as king.  Then will we walk in the fullness of HIS Divine Intent of Love.

John wrote the Book of Love also known as the Revelation of Jesus Christ, or known to most as “ the book of Revelation(s)”.  This book completes the New Testament and provides us with the Revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ as John states in verse one of chapter one.  From that point on, every word must be read in that context or I believe you will be missing the point of this book for this critical point in history.

As Dr. Vincent Speckhart thoroughly covered in his book “ “Quantum and Non-Quantum States of The Lord Jesus Christ” (available at www.unity153.net ), the Divine Intent of Love preceded all of creation.  The book of Revelation speaks of the  consummation of the marriage of Jesus Christ with His Bride, the Body of Christ.  In the Book of Genesis, man is created in His Image and then separated into two.  In the Book of Revelation, two become one, a return to complete communion.

The Body of Christ is made up of the Remnant, those who are included in the Book of Life.  These are the ones who are called to be kings and priests in the coming age.  These are the ones who are closest to the Lamb surrounding His Throne in Heaven.  As shown in a previous writing, there are three groups or divisions of people who are depicted by their relative position to the Throne.  In the Tabernacle in the wilderness, it was known as the Most Holy Place, the Holy Place, and the Outer Court.

Exodus 26:33  And thou shalt hang up the vail under the taches, that thou mayest bring in thither within the vail the ark of the testimony: and the vail shall divide unto you between the holy place and the most holy.  KJV

The Hebrew word qodesh translated “Holy” means:

1. apartness, holiness, sacredness, separateness

   1. apartness, sacredness, holiness

      1. of God

      2. of places

      3. of things

   2. set-apartness, separateness

It comes from the word qadash   meaning:  to consecrate, sanctify, prepare, dedicate, be hallowed, be holy, be sanctified, be separated, to be pure.

In the Old Testament, the prophets spoke “Thus saith THE LORD”.  In Revelation, “saith THE SPIRIT” is the source of the words spoken to the ekklēsia , Called Out Ones, or the Remnant.  The Greek word translated as “church” is ekklēsia and it is made up of two words combining to mean “called out ones”.  Today’s meaning of church has been dramatically altered to include just about everybody.  Have you been called out?

Those who have been truly called up into the Spiritual realm are those who will be included to rule and reign as His Body, to become one with Him has His Bride.  His Bride will be without spot or wrinkle, in other words all the members will be perfected in Love, fully mature, and pure.  They will have proceeded from the Outer Court of salvation, through the Holy Place where the candlestick provides the light of revelation and sanctification.  They will not stop there however.  They will enter into the Most Holy Place where Jesus is truly glorified and they will take their place in the Book of Life with Him where He will break the seals to reveal the fullness of Life or zōē. These are the living epistles who will be seen in white apparel, cleansed and purified.  They will operate in the Seven Spirits as they operate in the ministry of priesthood serving all mankind.

Just as Jesus and FATHER are one, so will the members of His Body be One with Jesus and FATHER.  Come up hither and ascend to Love where the purity of HIS Divine Intent resides.  This is where the greatest ministry of giving is found.

Revelation 22:12  And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

“According to your work” is the determining factor of your reward or placement in one of the three divisions.  Will you partake, watch, or be in wonder?  What occupies your time, focus, and resources?  Each one of us will receive our reward accordingly.

:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely.

As you see, the Spirit and the bride speak as One.  The consummation and expression of Love is now complete.

Revelation 5: 9 And they sang a new song, saying:

​​​“You are worthy to take the scroll,

​​And to open its seals;

​​For You were slain,

​​And have redeemed us to God by Your blood

​​Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,

10 ​​And have made us kings and priests to our God;

​​And we shall reign on the earth.”

People are “wired” to remember events through songs.  Songs convey a message encapsulated in a melody.  This new song sung in Heaven refers to the redemption of the Sons by the Lamb.  The Song of Moses referred to the redemption of the children of Israel by FATHER using Moses as HIS conduit.   The song is given in Exodus 15 and specifically speaks of Passover.

The Second Song of Moses was given in Deuteronomy 32, at the end of Moses’ life.  It focused on the second age, that of being in the wilderness- Pentecost.  In this song:

10 ​​“He found him in a desert land

​​And in the wasteland, a howling wilderness;

​​He encircled him, He instructed him,”

FATHER gave them the Law and dealt with their unbelief and called them a “crooked and perverse generation”.  This age has been known by its negative aspects of leaven or sin.  Those who had been enslaved in Egypt could not get “Egypt” out of their minds and continued in their bondage.  They viewed their bondage greater than their Deliverer even though the first Song of Moses testified of the deliverance out of Egypt.  The second Song was not complimentary to those in the wilderness.

The third Song of Scripture is the New Song from Heaven.  It is sung by those who are called to rule and reign with Him.  Not everyone in Heaven was singing the song, only the four living creatures and those twenty-four elders representing the Remnant.  After this song was sung, others joined in to proclaim with a loud voice:

11 Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands, 12 saying with a loud voice:

​​​“Worthy is the Lamb who was slain

​​To receive power and riches and wisdom,

​​And strength and honor and glory and blessing!”

Finally an even larger group joined in.  This is an all-inclusive group which refers to the full restoration of all mankind:

13 And every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying:

​​​“Blessing and honor and glory and power

​​Be to Him who sits on the throne,

​​And to the Lamb, forever and ever!”

In total there are three groups described in chapter 5 of Revelation:  the twenty-four elders, the saints, and the rest of mankind.  Only the song of victory was given to the elders to sing, others were silent during this song.  These elders understood the full revelation of the Book of Life and they were able to express the victory in this new song for it was in their hearts to sing.

Notice that the songs speaks of the revelation of “restoration of all mankind” out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation.  There is no “turn or burn” doctrine in Heaven.  Love prevails with the fullness of restoration of all that HE created.  These elders further sung of being qualified as kings and priests to rule and reign on earth.  What great news!  The earth does not get destroyed by man’s folly or by some cataclysmic event as prophesied many times over by those who promote doctrines of fear.  The new song is a song of Love and as you might guess, the Song of Solomon prophesied of this new song.  Prepare yourself to sing.
