Revelation 6:12 I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood.
13 And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind.
There is no end to the Sun of Righteousness and the Glory of THE LORD cannot be dimmed thus what are called “cosmic” events represent a lesser realm than that of the highest realm. In keeping with John’s view in the spiritual realm, these events depict things he saw in the higher realm.
An earthquake is a great shaking. I experienced my first earthquake while in Acapulco Mexico at a business conference in about 1983. When the earth quakes, you feel a complete loss of control and there is no safe haven. Do you stay inside the building or run outside and possibly into a fissure? Everything thought to be solid and safe is no longer so. Your world is literally turned upside down, torn apart, and broken. I expect men will experience this quake soon and on multiple levels. This may also be known as the ‘black swan’ event I have written about in the past, whether at a personal level or corporate.
When one thinks of Mystery Babylon, you must also refer to the Book of Daniel where Babylon had become great in the land. King Nebuchadnezzar’s reign at “reached to the heavens and it could be seen to the ends of all the earth.” (Daniel 4:11). A kingdom has its own heaven or place of rulership and its own earth, the place of its constituents. When we read of the sixth seal, we must see a “heaven and earth” below the supreme Heaven where all rulership and ultimate authority resides. FATHER doesn’t destroy HIS Heaven, stars, etc. but this is symbolic of a lower heaven occurrence. The GOD of restoration does not go around destroying the universe to make a point with the inhabitants of one planet in a vast solar system. Remember, John was in the spirit as he beheld these events.
Men are described as “lights” or suns. Jesus spoke this in the Parable of the Tares:
Matthew 13:43 Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!
The sun denotes rulership for it rules over the day. Light rules over darkness and the Sons are called to rule and reign. The kingdoms formed by men will become subject to the “suns of righteousness” once the Sons are brought to full maturity and receive the power and authority from the highest realm of authority. When this occurs, the light of the current kingdom of rulers will become black as sackcloth of hair. In the Book of Daniel, King Nebuchadnezzar is warned that his kingdom is subject to the rulership of the Most High Heaven:
4:25 …“They shall wet you with the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over you, till you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever He chooses.
26 “And inasmuch as they gave the command to leave the stump and roots of the tree, your kingdom shall be assured to you, after you come to know that Heaven rules.”
The moon represents lesser authorities subject to the greater authority as do the stars. The moon’s light dims as well and becomes like a blood moon. The light or life is being removed. The rule of these lesser lights are being taken away just as King Nebuchadnezzar’s reign was removed from him. Jesus tied all of this together in Matthew 24 when He spoke:
29 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.”
Jesus then explains that the Sons of GOD will appear before all men of all nations:
30 Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
The current political, financial, and economic systems will be abandoned when the Sons of GOD become fully empowered. They will no longer be relevant. Jesus needed no hospital, emergency room, pharmaceutical or any other lesser means to restore men and women to health. He removed the relevancy of their methods. Authority is given to rulers by the masses who are willing to submit to their worldly systems. What will happen when the no longer become relevant? They are destroyed in the spiritual sense but they are not physically burned up, they simply don’t matter anymore. The law of force will be replace by the law of Love and attraction. Guns and bullets will no longer be needed. The rulership of “man” will cease to exist and the Kingdom will be on earth as it is in Heaven, ruled by the highest realm of authority and through the Sons who hear HIS Voice. The old order will be replaced by the new order. Men’s hearts will be changed and they will submit to the irresistible Love in the eyes of the Sons. They will forsake all other rulership and follow HIM:
Isaiah 65:17 “For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth;
And the former shall not be remembered or come to mind.”
In light of this higher authority replacing the rulership of lesser authority, let us read and contemplate what John wrote near the end of the Book of Revelation:
21:1 Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea.
2 Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God.
4 And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”
5 Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And He said to me, “Write, for these words are true and faithful.”
