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.”

6   And He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts.

7   He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son.

8   But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”

The three major feasts point to the three major harvests.  Each of these harvests have the three major classifications of people depicted: The overcomers, the church, and the sea of humanity.  Love is not wasteful and every vessel created by FATHER will be utilized and restored in some fashion.  Nothing will be fully discarded.  The Potter may have to rework the clay but in the end, the clay is formed into a vessel of honor.  Remember, we all started out as vessels of dishonor.

The tumultuous sea of humanity is no more.  FATHER’S great grace and mercy have removed all the inhabitants of the sea and restored them to HIM.  Among those in this sea are: the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars.  Their sin and lawlessness are to be fully purged from them so that they can become inhabitants of the new earth.  Paul understood this great Plan in Romans chapter 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.

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.

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.

“Thy Kingdom come” has been the prayer of billions and John is shown the reality coming forth in the Revelation of Our Lord Jesus Christ.  In the wondrous majesty of FATHER’S Plan, the current age will come to a close.  The Bride is being made ready and the revelation of Love is being manifested for the whole world to see.  The sea will be drained of its inhabitants who are unworthy to attend the marriage feast but we can rest assured that FATHER will purge all of mankind of its unrighteousness through the refiner’s fire.  As men’s eyes are opened, they will weep in sorrow for their past acts but those tears will be lovingly wiped away.  All things will pass away, behold all things become new.

FATHER’S Love is true and faithful.  We can trust HIM Who Loves us unconditionally.  HIS Divine Intent is without variation:

James 1:17  Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.

Jesus Christ is the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end.  I believe the Gospel of John to be the first Gospel as he begins this Gospel with:

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.

Now John the Beloved is tasked with writing the final Gospel:

Revelation 1:1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants—things which must shortly take place. And He sent and signified it by His angel to His servant John, 2 who bore witness to the word of God, and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, to all things that he saw. 3 Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it; for the time is near.

This final book brings forth the fruition of Good News!  John sees into the spiritual realm and the plan is fully laid out in the Spirit for him to record.  Its mysteries are kept in place until the initiated are ready for them to be revealed.  These mysteries have been hidden in plain sight and FATHER knew that men would wrongly interpret these mysteries by their soulish intent and perspective.  The Key to opening the mysteries is found within the revelation of Love, FATHER’S primary character.  Jesus Himself proclaimed He is the Alpha and Omega.  We must embrace that reality as we prepare for the new Heaven and the new earth.  Whether we embrace it or not, it is coming.  Those who know FATHER are being prepared, those who don’t will have quite an awakening at the appropriate time.  Love is the key.  Think about the following:

1 John 4:7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.

8 He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.

Can it be said any clearer than this?

Revelation 20:11  Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them.

12 And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books.

13 The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works.

14 Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

15 And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.

Nothing, no man or woman, could stand in FATHER’S Presence.  No adversary, no beast, no devil… nothing!  It amazes me that men think they have any power and authority other than that allowed by FATHER.  Acts of defiance only serve to reveal that blindness in men.  Nobody is able to stand before the magnificence of the Creator of all existence.

Our bodies retain “memories” of when a toxin entered into our energetic bio-field.  When Dr. Speckhart was alive, he could inquire of the body about when a specific toxin, bacteria, or virus entered into the person’s body.  I experienced this inquiry firsthand when he was testing me for DDT.  Without me telling him, he tested me and discovered that in 1959 this chemical entered into my body.  Back then, DDT rings were painted on trees at the local park and we climbed those trees while playing.  Our bodies are constantly “recording” events and surpass the super computers’ ability to store.  The recording of events is constantly occurring throughout the universe in various forms.  Nothing is truly hidden.

The Book of Life is tied to the Tree of Life.  The other books are tied to the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.  The other books focus on soulish and fleshly records whereas the Book of Life records our acts which are led by HIS Spirit of Love.  The mature Sons’ acts are recorded in the Book of Life.  These acts of Love originate from FATHER’S Divine Intent and promote life.  The dead works of men have no place in this book.  These are the same works where Jesus proclaimed He never knew them:

Matthew 7:21  “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.

22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’

23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’

The Book of Life contains no lawless acts even though men might judge their acts to be worthy of inclusion.  Men’s rationalization from a viewpoint of carnality will not pass muster.  As we fully submit to HIS Will and Plan, our acts will be recorded in the Book of Life.  Those acts are known by FATHER because HE initiated those acts out of HIS Divine Intent of Love.  This is why it is critical for us to “wait” on THE LORD until HE shows us an action to take.  We do this instead of “doing” out of our own soulish thinking, hoping that we we do might “stick” and be acceptable in HIS Sight.

The sea giving up its dead refers to those who walk according to the flesh and are part of the sea of humanity.  Those in the depths of the sea are those who lived fully by the carnal flesh.  The lowest level of this walk is represented by the term “Hades” or hell.  When you are in constant and severe lack and craving, never having any fulfillment of any type, you are surely in a personal hell.

All men have experienced the process of death from the moment they are born.  They were subject to the Adamic curse:

Romans 5:17   For if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.

The second death refers to dying to the flesh and thus becoming Spiritually alive.  This is only accomplished through the process of purification.  Our fleshly nature must die so that our Spiritual nature may live.  It is counterintuitive to the mind of man but is that pathway to everlasting life.  Just as the seed must “die” in the earth in order for life to spring forth, we too must die to the earthly nature in order to Spiritually be alive.

FATHER is the only One Who can judge us and our acts for it is HE who initiates the acts recorded in the Book of Life.  Acts apart from HIS Intent are ultimately burned up in the lake of fire and are purged from us.  This is truly an act of kindness by FATHER in order to cleanse us from all unrighteousness in order that we might by fully reconciled unto HIM.  Just as the prodigal son returned and was restored to his father, all of us will be restored to Our Heavenly Father.  The only question is in what order it occurs. 

There are those who submit early.  They are quick to separate themselves from unrighteousness.  The barley harvest represents this group for it is easily removed from the chaff by the action of “winnowing”.  Winnowing is defined: to free (grain) from the lighter particles of chaff, dirt, etc., especially by throwing it into the air and allowing the wind or a forced current of air to blow away impurities.  The Holy Spirit easily moves in and among those who willingly submit.  They quickly embrace being led by THE SPIRIT.

There are those who receive salvation but never come to the fullness of being led by THE SPIRIT.  They are represented by the second harvest of wheat.  Wheat is harvested by “threshing”.  The seed is separated from the chaff by “beating” it for it does not easily give up the chaff.  Those who are “religious” are quite content to stay in their designated pew and let someone else hear THE FATHER for them.  They are content to be in the second group to be reconciled to FATHER.

The final group of mankind, those who reside in the tumultuous sea of humanity, are represented by the final harvest of grapes.  Grapes are harvested by being “pressed” or trodden down.  This final harvest is relatively extreme when compared to the other harvests.  Nevertheless, even the fleshly-minded will finally be harvested.  Their flesh will be removed so that their life will come forth and be reconciled to FATHER.  Love does not waste anything!

Revelation 20:7  Now when the thousand years have expired, Satan will be released from his prison

8  and will go out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle, whose number is as the sand of the sea.

9  They went up on the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city. And fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured them.

10  The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.

There will be those who will continue to resist the Love of FATHER and retain their “independence” and stature.  They choose to remain blind because of their unwillingness and fear of dying to the flesh.  They are no different than the children of Israel who want to return to the bondage of Egypt:

Numbers 11:4   Now the mixed multitude who were among them yielded to intense craving; so the children of Israel also wept again and said: “Who will give us meat to eat?

5 We remember the fish which we ate freely in Egypt, the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, the onions, and the garlic;

6 but now our whole being is dried up; there is nothing at all except this manna before our eyes!”

There will always be those who want to feed their souls and flesh rather than their spirits, even when they see the mighty works of FATHER.  This last 1,000 years denotes the final test of maturity.  We have 4,000 years associated with Passover, 2,000 years associated with Pentecost, and this last 1,000 years associated with Tabernacles.  This is a time of rest for those who have ascended into the fullness of their calling.  They have embraced their royal robes of righteousness and walk in an inner peace that is beyond man’s understanding.  They have no problem in taking on the whole armor of FATHER and dealing with the fiery darts of the adversary as Paul urged in Ephesians chapter 6:

10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.

11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

The name “Gog” means mountain and the name “Magog” means land of mountains.  Those who are set in the high earthly places will come to challenge the Elect who have been given power and authority to judge mankind.  They will attempt to “encircle” those who FATHER has chosen to bring the Light into the world.  They will use manipulation, human reasoning, and appeal to the lust and pride of men to dissuade those who dwell on the earth to follow the light.  However, FATHER’S Word will come down from Heaven and devour their soulish intent.  They will be exposed of the vanity they walk in.  They will be unable to resist the fiery Word coming forth out of the mouths of the Elect.  Their flesh will be “burned up” and will never again have the power it once claimed in its deception of man.

The term “forever” is connected to the idea of always and never.   The flesh will never by victorious over the spirit.  The spirit will always be victorious over the flesh.  Since the flesh will always lose in its attempt to rise up against the Spirit, it will suffer as in defeat.  The lake of fire is the purifying agent to remove the flesh from man in order to bring forth Divine nature.  Removal is painful to the flesh and the flesh will certainly and forever suffer by definition.  That is a good thing.  Removing a splinter from the finger is painful and necessary for the healing to come forth and restoration to be complete.  We must “detoxify” from the soulish and fleshly thoughts and actions as we prepare ourselves to go before the Throne of FATHER.  Those who walked in a temporary soulish and exalted position may resist for a time but in the end they will succumb to the Holiness of THE LORD.

This final Age will be one of consuming the last attempts of worldliness.  Perfection only comes when the dross is fully removed.  When moving from 99% to 100% pure, the fire must be increased by seven-fold for that last impurity has the greatest resistance to removal but in the end, it is worth it.  The final rebellion will be crushed.

As some of you know we had a couple of tornadoes last evening.  We were without electricity for about 16 hours due to downed power lines thus no blogs could be written this morning.  Until you have no electricity, you don’t think about how accustomed we have become to the simple expectation of flipping a switch to turn on a light.  Without cable, internet, etc. life gets simple quickly.  We had our evening Bible study by lantern and ended up getting 10 hours of sleep… not bad.

Now back to the hustle and bustle of the “electronic” life!

Revelation 20:4  And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.

5  But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.

6  Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.

The mind wants to paint a picture of what is communicated and then interpret it according to its own understanding by inserting biases and perspectives based on personal experiences, observations, and teachings.  However, the purpose of a vision is to reveal something that surpasses the mind’s faculties and John was given the charge to write what he saw.  The book of the Revelation of Our Lord Jesus Christ has a theme of Love, jubilee, restoration, and reconciliation… first the spirit, then the soul, and finally the body.  Spiritual perfection and maturity is the overall theme and is pointed to by the number seven used throughout the Bible from Genesis to Revelation.  Time and space are no issue to FATHER yet our minds want to lock HIM into the time/space continuum.

2 Peter 3:8  But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

9  The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.

FATHER’S timing should be of no great concern if you are focused on HIS Love relationship with you.  Enjoy the journey rather than being anxious about the destination.  Those who are embracing HIS Love are those whose thinking (foreheads) and corresponding acts (hands) are consistent with walking in Love toward FATHER and others.  These are the ones who are reaching Spiritual perfection and know FATHER.  They have surpassed man’s understanding and creative abilities (six thousand years) and have focused on the final period of spiritual perfection (seventh millennium).  Only those who cross the finish line can be awarded a medal for finishing the race.  Only those who endured the wilderness and remained faithful and trusted in FATHER’S Divine Intent for the children to inherit the Promised Land were able to fully receive and embrace their inheritance.  The last obstacle to overcome is death.  It is counterintuitive to the mind to embrace the fact that life swallows up death in the end.

2 Peter 3:10  But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.

11  Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness,

12  looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat?

13  Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.

Both Peter and John were given the revelation of a new heaven and earth, the old must pass away.  That looks great in theory but who wants to embrace the actual transition of the unknown?  Who wants to be in the midst of the upheaval when that fateful day comes?  Only those who Love and fully trust FATHER.  They will submit to a final test where the old man (satan) will attempt to impede the final transition from death to life.  Just as Jesus was unwilling to accept anything to prevent the full painful experience of death on the cross, the true overcomers will without hesitation choose HIS Life and Love over any alternative.  Those who choose the first resurrection are the ones who Love HIM more than themselves and their own lives.

Power and authority are given to those in the first squadron who have been called to be priests and are able to minister with the full anointing of Love.  They are the ones who are found closest to the Throne and know FATHER in the most intimate manner.  “I am my Beloved’s and HE is mine” has true meaning to those this close to THE THRONE.  Their trust is without question and they know that HE will flow through them as they minister to mankind.  Time is not a factor to them for they look not to the mind’s past notions of the future but have become fully pliable to move according to the moment by moment leading of FATHER’S Spirit within them.  They look to Love rather than be loved and exalted by others.  They look to serve rather than walking around with an air of entitlement.  These are the ones who will reign with Christ as others are being processed into maturity according to their particular timing. 

Whether you are of the first resurrection or your particular time is later, be not concerned for FATHER’S Love supersedes time and space and you will not be “left behind”.  HE will reconcile you at the perfect time according to your unique and special situation.  That is how Love operates and it will surpass your greatest expectation!

Revelation 20:1  Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, having the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.

2  He laid hold of the dragon, that serpent of old, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years;

3  and he cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal on him, so that he should deceive the nations no more till the thousand years were finished. But after these things he must be released for a little while.

The three feasts periods follow the pattern of 4 +2 + 1, that is to say that the  Passover Age was 4,000 years, Age of Pentecost is 2,000 years, and the Tabernacles Age is 1,000 years.  The number six represents man and seven represents Spiritual perfection and completion.  This last “1,000” year period is for the final perfecting of mankind for the purpose of complete restoration to Our Heavenly Father.  During this time, the adversary is bound up and can no longer plague men and distract them from being restored to FATHER.  On a personal level, the final phase of your maturing process overcomes the soul and the flesh inherent in man.

The word “Satan” has been exalted among the religious realm to evoke fear in men and women.  This figure has been promoted in the minds of men and has been assigned  power and authority and  the ability to be everywhere at once.  Only FATHER has these attributes, none else.  Interestingly enough, Numbers  chapter 22 provides us a key to the name “satan”:

22  And God’s anger was kindled because he went: and the angel of the LORD stood in the way for an adversary against him. Now he was riding upon his ass, and his two servants were with him.

This word “adversary” in the above verse is the Hebrew word satan.  The word means- adversary, one who resists.

Once we ate and are eating of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, we have become independent of FATHER and HIS Way.  When we submit to FATHER because we Love HIM, we begin eating of the Tree of Life.  That independent nature in the hearts and minds of men is an adversary to them becoming Sons of FATHER thus the adversary is in us, not some horned being in a red suit with a pitchfork.  We must cast down this adversary within us.  When that is done, satan is cast out of our heaven, or spirit.  The only reason the devil would appear to be everywhere is that the adversary has been found within each of us.

Jesus made this point when He chastised Peter who had no understanding about the plan of Jesus’ death and resurrection:

Matthew 16:23  But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.

Mark 8:33  But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men.

Did Jesus run scared when confronted by the adversary?  No, He rebuked the carnal nature of Peter that rose up against the plan of FATHER.  In the wilderness and at the end of the forty days, Jesus rebukes the carnal nature attempting to move Him away from FATHER’S plan:

Luke 4:8   And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

This adversary called “satan” is that adversary to FATHER’S Love plan and will plague men until he is no longer exalted in their spirits and souls.  This adversary is also known as your ego who wants to be in control.  It is time for this adversary to be bound once and for all.  It is time for us to be victorious over this adversary that would plague us every day if possible.  As we focus on FATHER’S Love for us at an individual level, as we walk with HIM and trust HIM, HE will anoint us in the third Baptism and will empower us to remove and cast down this adversary into the bottomless pit.  I believe this key represents the Key of David, this key being the revelation of Love.

Once Love has bound up the adversary within us, we will no longer be deceived by the devices of deception.  Finally, satan will be bound!

We will be conducting offsite meetings on behalf of the Ministry.  I expect the next blog to be posted on Tuesday.  I suggest you focus on “refreshing” your First Love relationship with FATHER.  His Love will open all other doors!

Revelation 19:1  7 Then I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in the midst of heaven, “Come and gather together for the supper of the great God,

18 that you may eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them, and the flesh of all people, free and slave, both small and great.”

19 And I saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against Him who sat on the horse and against His army.

20 Then the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who worked signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. These two were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone.

21 And the rest were killed with the sword which proceeded from the mouth of Him who sat on the horse. And all the birds were filled with their flesh.

Ever since the decision to pursue the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, the fleshly nature has been a problem.  The lust of the flesh has led the categories of sin and the world has promoted this lust in all respects.  Mankind’s lawless intent has managed to redefine laws to the point where lusts no longer have any repercussions to their fulfillment.  Laws could only modify behavior anyway.  The intent of the heart is where the problem originates.  The fiery two-edged sword is able to divide the soul and the spirit of man:

Hebrews 4:12  For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

“Joints and marrow” can refer to the strength of a connection.  This connection may be the commitment to a system, place, or person.  In this case, the sword is used to severe the connection to the fleshly nature of mankind closely guarded by the beast who progressed from that sly serpent originally found in the garden.  In the above passage, we must keep our underlying focus on the fact that the Love of FATHER is behind HIS Intent and the Intent of HIS Sons with Jesus being at the forefront.  Sending the birds to feast on the flesh is actually an act of Love, not terror.  We must remember that this is a Spiritual scene, not a literal one.  The flesh needs to be removed and the soul needs to be refined by the refiner’s fire.  Impurities must be removed in order to be reconciled and restored to FATHER.

The fiery, living Word of FATHER has full power and authority within it to cause its intent to come to pass.  This fiery Word is fully and completely motivated by Love and thus it represents the third baptism and is associated with the Feast of Tabernacles.  The spirit, soul, and body all have to be dealt with but in a progressive basis.  In this final battle, the body has become the focus of restoration.  The souls of men had to be redeemed from the enslavement of the Harlot.  Now the body must be redeemed from its fleshly nature.  The fleshly nature’s intent must be separated out by the sword and consumed by the birds of the air.  Vultures and other carcass eaters have an important function- to clean up the environment.  Shellfish do the same in the ocean.  Each has a FATHER-given function to bring an equilibrium to the ecosystem.  Instead of cursing certain aspects of creation, we should look to see the Divine Intent of their presence.

This final consuming of all flesh “reverses the curse”.  There were many who previously heard the Word and did not receive it.  As a result of being blinded, they did not receive salvation.  The reference to birds is found in Matthew 13:

3  Then He spoke many things to them in parables, saying: “Behold, a sower went out to sow.

4 And as he sowed, some seed fell by the wayside; and the birds came and devoured them.

5 Some fell on stony places, where they did not have much earth; and they immediately sprang up because they had no depth of earth.

6 But when the sun was up they were scorched, and because they had no root they withered away.

7 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up and choked them.

8 But others fell on good ground and yielded a crop: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

9 He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”

FATHER sent the WORD to mankind and all were given an opportunity to receive the WORD.  Jesus explained this parable to the disciples:

18 “Therefore hear the parable of the sower:

19 When anyone hears the word of the kingdom, and does not understand it, then the wicked one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is he who received seed by the wayside.

20 But he who received the seed on stony places, this is he who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy;

21 yet he has no root in himself, but endures only for a while. For when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he stumbles.

22 Now he who received seed among the thorns is he who hears the word, and the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.

23 But he who received seed on the good ground is he who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and produces: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.”

When the WORD was given for men to receive salvation, the adversary, the fleshly nature kept the WORD from taking root.  It was immediately removed from the heart.  This adversary was referred to as “birds” in this case.  At the end of the age, another group of birds are enlisted to remove the “adversary” from us.  This adversary “the flesh” is judged by its original acts of preventing the WORD from taking root.  How appropriate that this righteous judgment come forth to consume all flesh.  Those fleshly acts evoked an appropriate righteous response in the end.  No man was left behind, all were included in this final judgment of the fleshly nature.  The Sun of Righteous gave the order for the birds to do HIS bidding.

Revelation 19:11   Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war.

12   His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself.

13   He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God.

14   And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses.

15   Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

16   And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written:

KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.

Horses are used for war and the four horsemen of Revelation Chapter 6 portrayed conflict, war and destruction.  These four were used in dealing with the overcomers.  Now we have a whole army who have saddled up and ride behind their Commander, the KING of Kings.  Heaven has now opened up to the lower reaches of creation.  The harlot Mystery Babylon has been removed and it is now time to deal with the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies.  Those who have submitted to the beast will now be overcome by the Love of FATHER in direct confrontation.  The ego will now be fully destroyed in its influence over man. 

Those who have enjoined themselves to Christ have followed the path to be faithful and true as well.  Their faith has been perfected by Love and there hearts are now pure and true.  There is no guile found in them.  Just as the veil had to be removed from the overcomers, it is now time to remove the veil from the other inhabitants of the earth.  They will no longer worship the created or exalt self-proclaimed kings of the earth.  Those who were formerly worshipped as idols will be dashed against the rocks and ground to powder for they were used as vessels of dishonor to ready and mature the saints.  Their time has come.

Jesus is described as having “eyes like a flame of fire”.  The eyes of man were designed to receive light whereas Jesus’ eyes are transmitting light or revelation of the purifying Word.  This description was given to us in the first chapter of Revelation:

13 and in the midst of the seven lampstands One like the Son of Man, clothed with a garment down to the feet and girded about the chest with a golden band.

14 His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and His eyes like a flame of fire;

15 His feet were like fine brass, as if refined in a furnace, and His voice as the sound of many waters;

16 He had in His right hand seven stars, out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword, and His countenance was like the sun shining in its strength.

We first see Jesus among the seven churches (church realm) but now He is focused on the entire earth for all the earth will be filled with HIS Glory.  Each of the dispensations represented by the three feast were a focus for Jesus Christ and His followers.  Now that the Bride has been brought out from Mystery Babylon, the final war can be waged.  The wheat harvest is complete, the final harvest is at hand.  Mankind is about to receive the fullness of the revelation of Love from the One who has eyes like a flame of fire.

On His head were many crowns.  Where did these crowns come from?  We only need to refer back to Revelation chapter 4:

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.”

I believe the “very elect” who are closest to the Throne provide the crowns of overcoming victory as now being depicted on the “head” of Jesus.  He has the full authority to judge all mankind for they have come to the end of their appointed time.  There was a name written no man knew even though Jesus was known by many names such as Immanuel, Son of man, Son of GOD, and over 200 other names.  In Scripture, a name represented the character and nature of that person and in verse 11 He was called True and Faithful.  Those following Him have also taken on these attributes.  In Jesus’ case, the fullness of His character is beyond knowing except by FATHER:

Matthew 11:25   At that time Jesus answered and said, “I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and have revealed them to babes.

26   Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight.

27   All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him.

His robe dipped in blood denotes the ministry of the doves of His second coming and of everlasting peace.  The “house” being cleansed of death in this case is the whole earth (Leviticus 14:5-7).  This blood is a sign to all that FATHER will restore all to life and Jesus is fully victorious over death.

What a glorious scene to see Our Lord and His armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses.  They are not only members of the Bride of Christ without spot or wrinkle but were “elected” to take part in the ministry of reconciliation of all mankind.  They have been endued with power and authority to minister life as well with the Commander-in-Chief leading them directly into battle.  They have mounted the war horses of righteousness in full strength and will not be denied victory for they have been perfected in Love resulting in overcoming faith.

The Word of FATHER is that sharp two-edged sword and Jesus has this sword in His mouth.  It will be used to circumcise the flesh from the heart once and for all.  Death will no longer surround the heart and keep it from receiving the living Word of GOD.  Men’s traditions will be removed and discarded and their manipulation and control will no longer impact the hearts and minds of men as before.  The intent of men will now be exposed and judged accordingly:

Hebrews 4:12   For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

If you will recall in Revelation 2:27, the rod of iron is associated with breaking up the vessels of dishonor (found in the corrupt church) in order to remold them into vessels of honor:

‘He shall rule them with a rod of iron;
They shall be dashed to pieces like the potter’s vessels’—
as I also have received from My Father;

Love does not waste anything!  Jesus will tread the winepress to be assured that the fulfillment of the final harvest of Tabernacles will be complete.  The fierceness of this act is an indication of the complete focus and attention to the fullness of the harvest.  None will be allowed to escape this treading down of unrighteousness.  All will be subjected to the “fiery” Word in order that a full and complete cleansing occurs and that my friend is a good thing.

On His robe and thigh are the words- KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.  This white robe of righteousness is possessed and worn by the King of Kings.  HE has overcome death and now leads mankind into victory.  The emblem on the thigh speaks of “THE WAY”.  This denotes a man’s walk and resulting actions of his intent.  Jesus met all the tests and trials that would challenge His calling, His path was sure.  This path became known as “The Way” as He spoke the Words in John chapter 14:

6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me”.

All attention is on the KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
