Revelation 11:1  Then I was given a reed like a measuring rod. And the angel stood, saying, “Rise and measure the temple of God, the altar, and those who worship there,”

John was given a command to “rise” and “measure”.  John is in the Spiritual realm and is called to rise up to its highest level of understanding and revelation.  He is called to evaluate, measure, and examine the Spiritual perfection of this Spiritual Temple.  What an honor given to the Beloved Disciple!  I am convinced this honor was bestowed on him as he had a revelation of Love that uniquely qualified him to be the messenger of the Revelation of Jesus Christ joined with His body composed of the Sons of FATHER.  He was called to be an “inspector” of the Temple. 

An inspector examines the workmanship, the conformance to a predetermined set of standards, and the materials used in building a house.  This call for inspection was immediately after the seven trumpets denoting the Spiritual maturing process of the Sons.  John had just been shown the mystery of these seven trumpets given for the preparation of the Sons by the servants and prophets.  This is referenced by Paul in Ephesians 4:

13 till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;

The perfecting, maturing process of the Sons by the process of the seven trumpets is now ready to be measured and the standard is the “stature of the fullness of Christ”.  We will see later in Revelation 21 that a reed is again used to measure but the focus will be on the entire city and only after “all things are made new”.  The reed is only used to measure those who have been restored, each in his own order.  The second reed is a gold reed, speaking of Divine Nature whereas the first reed is of standard material and denotes a lesser standard.  This speaks of progression into the fullness of Divine Nature, the theme of this entire book.

Included in this call to measure are those who worship therein.  These are to be measured according to the stature of the fullness of Christ.  Jesus Christ is our sole standard and none of us should look upon men to compare ourselves against.  HE is the spotless One without blemish.  Our measurement is based on our spiritual condition, maturity, and perfection.  Only a fully mature Son is qualified to represent FATHER.  This standard by which all men are measured was determined by Our Heavenly Father.  The good news is that being our Creator, HE has provided for each of us as Sons to ultimately rise up to that Standard but only through the proper maturing process.  The revelation of Love is a critical aspect in this growth process as stated in Ephesians 4:

15 but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ—

16 from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.

If we were not able to attain to the standard of Christ, the mystery would not be revealed to us.  Paul understood this Truth as he shared in Philippians 3:

13 Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead,

14 I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

15 Therefore let us, as many as are mature, have this mind; and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal even this to you.

We must set aside the past for it does not dictate our present day or our future.  We must continue to press toward the goal and if we were not able to attain it, HIS SPIRIT would not have revealed it to us.  By faith we receive this revelation to manifest within us!  As we pursue this revelation of Love, Romans 8 becomes alive in us:

28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

29 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.

30 Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.

If we are predestined to be conformed to the image of HIS Son, then we will pass the inspection against this high standard.  We will stand before all and proclaim “As HE is, so are we!”  The Temple represents HIS Presence and the source of HIS Wisdom, understanding, and knowledge.  Those being measured are those who worship there, not in some external building designed and created by man.  We must worship HIM in Spirit and in Truth.  Love must be the intent by which we enter in.  Any other motivation will not be allow access into this Most Holy Temple of HIS Presence. 

HE knows the thoughts and intents of our hearts and these are measured in reference to HIS Son as being the standard.  Let us go on to perfection expecting to achieve this level of perfection sanctioned solely by HIS Divine Intent.  He apprehends us for HIS call to duty.  HE opens our eyes to understanding and opens our ears to hear HIS specific word to us that our faith might be energized with the expectation of this perfection revealed at this hour.  With this in mind, ponder the words written by Paul in Ephesians 3:

14 For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

15 from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,

16 that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man,

17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height—

19 to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

Are you ready to be measured?

Revelation 11:1 Then I was given a reed like a measuring rod. And the angel stood, saying, “Rise and measure the temple of God, the altar, and those who worship there.”

2  “But leave out the court which is outside the temple, and do not measure it, for it has been given to the Gentiles. And they will tread the holy city underfoot for forty-two months.”

Once John had eaten the little book, he no longer was an observer but now a participant.  John sought the Revelation of Jesus Christ and then was given the command to take and eat it.  He now has the Revelation and is called to act.  John was in the SPIRIT during the course of these events.  He is one of the initiated designated to receive the mysteries contained in this little book and he is now “one” with its message.  This message cannot be separated from him for he has become the message, the essence of being a Son.  As John had earlier written:

John 14:7 “If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.”

8 Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us.”

9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?

10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works.

11 Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves.

Now the words of Jesus had become a much greater revelation to John after he ate the little book.  This impartation brings forth a new anointing as the words are spoken to him:  “You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, tongues, and kings.”  John is now transformed from “seeing” to “being”.

John is now to focus on the dwelling place of FATHER- The Temple.  This is where HIS Presence dwells and remains there forever.  We are to be that Temple and HE has been preparing us for HIM to dwell in us as we are partakers of HIS Divine Nature and Intent.  We can now understand when HE spoke the words “Let us make man in Our Image, according to Our Likeness”.  We are to become HIS express Image!

In  the book of Exodus, the tabernacle was set aside as a sanctuary for FATHER to dwell in on a temporary basis and was designed as a type and shadow of things to come.  It was an external dwelling place for all to see yet Jesus announced in John 14 that the final dwelling place is IN HIM, the internal.  The Old Testament representing the Law dealt with the external and the set a standard to deal with the behavior of man.  The New Testament focuses on dealing with the internal character.  Behavior becomes an outworking of the internal change.  The express image is seen only after the little book has been consumed and has become “one” with the Son.  We too will be able to truthfully proclaim the words of Jesus spoken to Philip in the above passage.

Hebrews 9:11  But Christ came as High Priest of the good things to come, with the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation.

John is called to “measure” and reckon the perfect Tabernacle and it is not made with man’s hands.  A perfect Tabernacle requires no other future improved dwelling place for it is complete in every detail.  This is where the full and express image is to dwell… forever!

Hebrews 5:5 So also Christ did not glorify Himself to become High Priest, but it was He who said to Him:

​​​“You are My Son,

​​Today I have begotten You.”

​6 As He also says in another place:

​​​“You are a priest forever

​​According to the order of Melchizedek.

Our priesthood is one without end for it has Love at its foundation and Love is without end as Paul states in 1st Corinthians chapter 13:

8 Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part. 10 But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away.

As we eat the little book, we become living stones of HIS Temple, living Epistles of HIS WORD.  Our faith in HIM is fully empowered to bring forth the manifestation of HIS fullness in the earth.  We only speak what we hear OUR FATHER speak.  Our vertical relationship is shed abroad in a horizontal manner to all mankind.

There are three areas mentioned: The Temple, the Outer Court, and the Holy City.  Of the three, only the Temple is to be measured.  Along with it are the altar and those that worship therein.  Where is this Temple?  In Heaven, in the Spiritual realm, not the physical.  Paul speaks of this Spiritual Temple in 1 Corinthians 3:

16 Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?

17 If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.

We are the lively stones which make up the Most Holy Temple and we are the dwelling place of HIS Glory on earth.  And again Paul refers to us as the Temple in 2 Corinthians 6:

16 And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said:

​​​“I will dwell in them

​​And walk among them.

​​I will be their God,

​​And they shall be My people.

This Temple to be measured is the Temple comprised of the Sons and Jesus is the foundation, the chief cornerstone.  The restoration of mankind is to come forth through the Sons who are fitly joined together in full and complete unity, motivated by Love.  We see the description of this Temple mentioned in Ephesians 2:

19 Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God,

20 having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone,

21 in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord,

22 in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.

Measuring this Temple is about inspection, evaluation, and assessment.  You measure something against a standard and the standard is Jesus Christ, the pattern Son, the first begotten Son.

Revelation 10:8 Then the voice which I heard from heaven spoke to me again and said, “Go, take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel who stands on the sea and on the earth.”

9 So I went to the angel and said to him, “Give me the little book.”

And he said to me, “Take and eat it; and it will make your stomach bitter, but it will be as sweet as honey in your mouth.”

10 Then I took the little book out of the angel’s hand and ate it, and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth. But when I had eaten it, my stomach became bitter.

11 And he said to me, “You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, tongues, and kings.”

This book is in the hand of none other than Our Load Jesus Christ.  Is is described as a smaller book or scroll than the book of Isaiah that Jesus read from in Luke 4:17 in the synagogue at Nazareth.  This open book originates from Heaven and John’s attention is directed toward it.  Where did this open book come from?  It is the same book mentioned in Revelation 5:

1 And I saw in the right hand of Him who sat on the throne a scroll written inside and on the back, sealed with seven seals. 2 Then I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and to loose its seals?” 3 And no one in heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll, or to look at it.

4 So I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open and read the scroll, or to look at it. 5 But one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep. Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the scroll and to loose its seven seals.”

The seven seals of the book had been loosed and it was open so that its mysteries could be revealed to one who had it in his possession.  The beloved disciple was given the privilege to access the book.  As I have said many times before Love is the key needed to open what FATHER set before us.  The seven seals pointed to the revealing of the Sons and the trumpets speak of the maturing of the Sons.  This book focuses on the revelation of Jesus Christ and His many-membered body called the Sons of GOD, also known by this writer as the Sons of LOVE.  These Sons are initiated into the Order of Melchizedek, the highest order of the Heavenly priesthood.  Within the overall Order, each comes forth in his own order according to his calling.

John’s revelation of Love allowed him to be the first of many brethren called to “eat” the book.  Many are called but few are chosen to dine on this revelation of Jesus Christ.  Oh what a beautiful book it is!  Those of us hungering and thirsting after righteousness have longed for this book to be presented unto us to consume it so that it becomes in full and complete unity in us, in its entirety.  Many have seen the book from a distance and claimed to BE one of the Sons.  Others have understood some of the seals being loosed and reported on the results with great excitement and thinking they too have arrived.  Those involved in the Latter Rain movement got their hopes up only to find their immaturity thwarted the impartation of power and authority.  But the seed of manifestation was planted allowing us to have an example of the power and authority as well as knowing what not to do when presented with this Heavenly impartation.  We must take the book,  “eat” the book, AND fully digest it.

“Give me the little book.”  John made a decision and chose to go for the book.  Wouldn’t each of us do the same if presented with the same situation?  I know I would and deal with the consequences later for I trust Him too.  Jesus told John to take the book and eat it.  The King of Kings authorized the consumption of this Revelation to John and this destiny has been ordained for each Son who desires to eat the same book.  As we read these words, it is by faith we accept the book.  HIS Word is being spoken to the apprehended ones to come forth and dine.

We are now to the good news and the “other” news- it will taste as sweet as honey but it will be bitter to the stomach.  Everyone gets excited about a revelation coming forth from Heaven.  Martin Paulat was shared several visions FATHER had given him about me back in the 1990’s.  As he communicated each of those visions I was excited and overjoyed.  However when one of the visions would come to pass it was often accompanied by pain, pressure, and stress.  The initial sweetness of the vision had been replaced by the bitterness of its manifestation.  Jesus came to the earth to restore mankind and establish HIS Kingdom but by necessity it involved the cross and death.  Those who are unprepared will not accept the offer to eat the book for they are faint of heart and immature.  Their worldly focus was more important to them when the call to join Our Heavenly Father at HIS Supper came forth.  We must be willing to walk out those aspects that will be bitter to the stomach.  Loving your enemies is one such example.

John had recorded another instance where Jesus told us to drink.  It was during the Feast of Tabernacles and was ushering in the Age of Pentecost:

John 7:37 On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. 38 He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his belly will flow rivers of living water.” 39 But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

This time Jesus is telling John to “eat”.  This is the ushering in of the Age of Tabernacles.  The audience is not “anyone” this time but is designated to the initiated, to those whom the mystery is being revealed.  It is a little book, not for public consumption.  The “public” will receive the benefit once those who have been called to eat have done so.  Once that book becomes “one” with them then the Age will be in full force as each Son comes forth with the power and authority bestowed by the commissioning into the army.  Each will take his place in his designated position within the ranks.

The Truth will be bitter to the carnal man, especially as the bottomless pit is cleared of those pesky locusts.  We will be “detoxed” of all of man’s opiates intended to dull our spiritual senses that in fact left us worse off after the effects wore off.  Anyone who has detoxed knows the bitterness of the removal of those toxins.  It can get pretty ugly.  “Did that really come out of me?” proclaims the patient.  Yes, it WILL stink!  Once the book is consumed and does its work in us, we must expect a positive result-

Out of our belly must come forth the Living Word for we will now be the Living Word!  It is inseparable from us.  The corruptible has put on incorruption and death is swallowed up.  Instead trying to adhere to THE WORD, we will be one with THE WORD.  We will be HIS expression on this earth and all men will in some manner respond to the LIVING WORD.  It’s time to eat!

John 19:30  So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit.

The Passover Age ended when Jesus declared “It is finished”.  Not many days hence, the new age would usher in the ministry of the Holy Spirit at the Day of Pentecost.  Now the Pentecostal Age is at its completion as well as the Sons of FATHER are being prepared for the corruptible to put on incorruption, and the mortal must put on immortality.  The seventh angel is bringing forth the next “finished” Age:

Revelation 10:7  but in the days of the sounding of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, the mystery of God would be finished, as He declared to His servants the prophets.

This is the mystery we have been directed towards for many years.  As with any mystery, it is hidden from the masses and only the initiated are invited to understand what the mystery is to reveal.  Others will simply go about their daily business without a clue.  Jesus Christ Himself is this seventh angel and there is no greater Voice than that of the King of Kings and Lord or Lords!  Is the earth groaning for more of Passover or Pentecost? 

Romans 8:22 For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now.

23 Not only that, but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body.

We are all groaning and waiting for the redemption of our body!  This redemption Is an inheritance to the Sons first and foremost:

1 Peter 1:3   Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

4   to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you,

5   who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

It is important for us to embrace this reality so that we have an expectation of its manifestation.  Isn’t this why HE had HIS Most Holy Spirit move upon men to record this Truth in these Epistles?  This mystery is not hidden from those HE has designated as inheritors but neither are these precious pearls cast before swine.  Swine are symbolic for those people who have no appreciation for THE WORD and will “eat” anything placed before them for they are scavengers.  The prodigal son ended up feeding with the swine during a severe famine when he finally came to himself and realized that abundance was only to be found with his FATHER.  His revelation was ultimately rewarded with restoration and inheritance but only after he finished his journey.

“The mystery of GOD being finished” is not focusing on an external time but on an internal consummation, completion, and perfection.  When you bake a pie in the oven, the recipe may call for it to bake for 25 minutes but the conditions may require a different exposure to heat.  The baker checks the pie to make sure all the ingredients have come to the required state before proclaiming “It is finished!”.  Our maturity is based uniquely on our own purification and cleansing process and Our Heavenly Father knows just how much heat to apply to insure a timely conclusion and result.

“But in the days” suggests that this mystery would be unfolding through a progression, not in just an instant or moment of time.  It requires a maturing process and the revealing of the mystery occurs throughout a season.  FATHER knows how much of this mystery we can handle at any one sitting and thus feeds us HIS WORD so that proper digestion will occur and we will become One with it.  We must “eat” the WORD so that it nourishes every particle within us and ultimately empowers each and every GOD particle to align with HIS Divine Intent.  What a mystery!  The body is designed to utilize the building blocks provided to promote growth and maturity.  As we consume the Revelation of Jesus Christ, we become like Him.  Do you think those who feed only once a week, month, or year will in the end be able to proclaim “As HE is so are we”?  Can a person hop off the couch and go run a marathon without any strict and disciplined preparation?  Paul proclaims the source of his maturing process in Galatians 1:

11 But I make known to you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man.

12 For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came through the revelation of Jesus Christ.

In the Book of Daniel, he clearly states “But there is a God in heaven who reveals secrets”.  It is Our Heavenly Father who saw fit to reveal this mystery to us at this particular time in history.  It remained hidden from “the wise men, the astrologers, the magicians, and the soothsayers” but was given for our sakes.  To what end?

Daniel 2:44   “And in the days of these kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and the kingdom shall not be left to other people; it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever.”

At that time, all will proclaim “It is finished!”

Revelation 10:7  but in the days of the sounding of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, the mystery of God would be finished, as He declared to His servants the prophets.

Our Heavenly Father clearly states the sounding of this seventh trumpet was declared by HIS servants and prophets so this must be a culmination of a major mystery throughout ALL of the Scripture, both old and new Testaments.  This declaration must go beyond the revealing of HIS Son but proceeds on to the manifestation of many Sons who are being empowered by HIM and for HIM and through HIM.  What a blessed day when we come to realize that this book is not about death and destruction but instead the fullness of Christ being imparted to those apprehended ones!

HIS first Son has been fully revealed to the world for the last two thousand years and no one would question that.  Why we spend a full month around the world each year celebrating His birth!  But wait, there’s more!  FATHER is raising up an army of many Sons, not just One.  These Sons obtained crowns themselves but placed them at the feet of HIS Most Holy Son.  Everyone is in his own order and being motivated by the same Love that emanates from the heart of FATHER do all of these Sons have their being.  Paul speak of this final victory of taking on incorruption in 1 Corinthians 15:

51 Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed— 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

As you have been proceeding forth in this journey through the book of Revelation with me, we can both we how the servants and the prophets have been pointing us toward the sound of this last trumpet.  This revelation has been sprinkled throughout Scripture awaiting for the specific time to be revealed in its fullness.  Paul understood what was coming and shared it just after he expressed the critical importance of unconditional Love.  The carnal man would attempt to divide and separate the Word so that we would be unable to see the big picture.  The carnal nature divides whereas the SPIRIT unites.  Paul continues:

53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

54 So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.”

​55 ​​“O Death, where is your sting?

​​O Hades, where is your victory?”

​56 The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Can’t you see that this last trumpet heralds the arrival of victory over corruption of the flesh?  The completion of the maturing process is being acknowledged by the sounding of this last trumpet.  By HIS own Intent is HE bringing the Sons to full maturity, to the perfecting of the saints:

Ephesians 4:11  And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers (servants and prophets),

12 for the perfecting (equipping) of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, 13 till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ

When did the last trumpet sound according to past teachings?  During the middle of the tribulation period.   Wrong!  That literalist, external view has managed to keep the revelation hidden among those who were satisfied to have men tell them what FATHER is supposedly saying rather than spend the necessary time themselves to mature in Christ.  That’s okay, the mysteries are given only to the initiated.  Paul speaks of this stewardship earlier in the same writing:

1 Corinthians 4:1  Let a man so consider us, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.

2 Moreover it is required in stewards that one be found faithful.

3 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you or by a human court.  In fact, I do not even judge myself.

4 For I know of nothing against myself, yet I am not justified by this; but He who judges me is the Lord.

5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness and reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each one’s praise will come from God.

The blowing of the trumpet is to announce an important assembly of the people, such as a festival, so as to gather them together into the presence of the LORD.  Another purpose is to sound an alarm, so as to muster troops or gather people for war or for judgment.  This last trump fulfills both purposes.  HE is assembling HIS called out ones to come before HIM for their commissioning AND to prepare them for war.   This seventh and last trumpet is surely the awakening blast that will raise the frequency levels and excite the GOD particles in the elect where their bodies will be in full compliance to their Heavenly calling.  In the New Testament, the trumpet comes from a word meaning “wave”.  This sound wave from Heaven will permeate every cell of our individual bodies and excite those cells to increase in frequency and perform at 100% of their Divine Intent.  No sickness or disease will be able to reside in this environment and death will be swallowed up by life.  As we are enlightened by this understanding, let us ponder what Paul wrote in 1 Thessalonians 4:

16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.

17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.

All the GOD particles of every Son will respond to the sound of this last trumpet no matter what the current physical state.  Just as Lazarus’ body responded to His call, ours will do the same.  Let the trumpet blast come forth!

Revelation 10:7    but in the days of the sounding of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, the mystery of God would be finished, as He declared to His servants the prophets.

When the Sons of GOD embrace the fullness of eternity then “time is no more”.  These Sons will have taken on incorruption which is not subject to time in contrast to the corruptible state of decay.  The law of corruption is found in a lower state of existence but as we ascend into the Spiritual realm, the law of incorruption supersedes all lower laws.  As John ascended to the higher realm, he was not restricted to time and was able to express a mystery to be revealed in the future.  This is the same source accessible to the prophets of old.  They served FATHER by faithfully writing and speaking what they were shown in the future.  The future is the source of today, not the past.  This is counterintuitive to the carnal mind for it thinks we are a product of the past, not the future.

Think about it, we are maturing into the express image of FATHER, the pre-existent ONE.  HE is not maturing, growing, or changing, HE is the EVERLASTING ONE Who changes not.  HIS Divine Intent is your future, not your past.  We proceed toward the intent which resides in the future of time, not the past or present.  Can you see now that the future IS the source of the present.  While pondering this mystery, consider:

Hebrews 11:1   Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Hope is future-based and faith expects the future to come forth and manifest on some particular day to be seen and witnessed.  When FATHER speaks HIS Intent to us, faith comes forth.  The door or access to this faith is by Jesus Christ, the mighty angel blowing the seventh trumpet of perfection:

Hebrews 12:1   Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,

2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

When we look at time from the view of eternity, the Fourth Commandment takes on an expanded meaning:

Exodus 20:8 ​​“Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. 11 For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.”

The seventh day represents the Sabbath and work toward maturing is no longer necessary, we can rest in the perfected state.  This particular state is a “blessed” state and FATHER set it apart and sanctified it separately.  This commandment was given as a prophetic view of the future as a source for the time of the seventh trumpet.  Many Christians believe the Jewish tradition that the Glory of THE LORD will fill the Temple in the city of Jerusalem but fail to realize that once HIS Glory moves on, it never returns to the past.  Once they realize this,  the prophetic view of “Jerusalem is no more” is not one of physical destruction but one of “no importance”.  It only has maintained a perception of value,  much different than true everlasting value.  Churches are looking for revival whereas the Sons are anticipating a new and fresh impartation.  Let the dead bury their own.

The Book of Beginnings lays out the procession to Spiritual maturity (Genesis 1):

So the evening and the morning were the first day. (v3)

So the evening and the morning were the second day. (v6)

13 So the evening and the morning were the third day.

19 So the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

23 So the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

31 Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good. So the evening and the morning were the sixth day

The seventh day of rest is not expressed with an “evening”.  There is no darkness found on the seventh day of rest, maturity, and perfection.  This future state is heading toward us at a rapid clip.  It was prophesied in the first book of the Bible and is being revealed in the last book.  HIS Glory left old Jerusalem and now the Glory of the New Jerusalem is described:

Revelation 21:22 But I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. 23 The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is its light. 24 And the nations of those who are saved shall walk in its light, and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honor into it. 25 Its gates shall not be shut at all by day (there shall be no night there).

Your past does not define the future, HIS Intent does!
