Revelation 10:1   I saw still another mighty angel coming down from heaven, clothed with a cloud. And a rainbow was on his head, his face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire.

2 He had a little book open in his hand. And he set his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land,

3 and cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roars. When he cried out, seven thunders uttered their voices.

4 Now when the seven thunders uttered their voices, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, “Seal up the things which the seven thunders uttered, and do not write them.”

What an awesome sight!  This mighty angel who is none other than Our Lord Jesus Christ manifested in His glory is described by John with such beauty and majesty.  The Son has taken on the fullness of the glory of Our Heavenly Father.  The rainbow upon His head is a clear indication that this is not one of the three angels Gabriel, Michael, or Peniel, but it is One who has become the Glory of His FATHER and is describe in Ezekiel’s Vision in chapter 1:

25 A voice came from above the firmament that was over their heads; whenever they stood, they let down their wings.

26 And above the firmament over their heads was the likeness of a throne, in appearance like a sapphire stone; on the likeness of the throne was a likeness with the appearance of a man high above it.

27 Also from the appearance of His waist and upward I saw, as it were, the color of amber with the appearance of fire all around within it; and from the appearance of His waist and downward I saw, as it were, the appearance of fire with brightness all around.

28 Like the appearance of a rainbow in a cloud on a rainy day, so was the appearance of the brightness all around it. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD.

The rainbow is a prophetic symbol of promises made to mankind as given to Noah.  It is a symbol of FATHER’S Covenant not to destroy but to restore and was given to all flesh.  It is not dependent upon man to keep this covenant but was given to us solely by Our Heavenly Father who has the power to enforce any Word HE speaks.  Our Lord Jesus Christ is recalling and reconfirming this covenant and promises by its very presence above His head.

The placement of His feet denote rulership over both the earth and the sea.  There is none greater than Him for He is KING of Kings and LORD of Lords thus as He speaks it is as though a Lion who is King over all beasts roars.  The Lion of Judah is speaking for us to hear and it is with the full and complete authority of His manifested glory.

It is not unusual to pronounce dominion based on where the feet are placed.  The LORD GOD ALMIGHTY spoke to Abram in Genesis 13 and gave him a promise according to the placement of his feet:

14 And the LORD said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him: “Lift your eyes now and look from the place where you are—northward, southward, eastward, and westward;

15 for all the land which you see I give to you and your descendants forever.

16 And I will make your descendants as the dust of the earth; so that if a man could number the dust of the earth, then your descendants also could be numbered.

17 Arise, walk in the land through its length and its width, for I give it to you.”

This was just a type and shadow of what was laid claim and being given to HIS Most Holy Son… the whole earth!  At a personal level, the earth refers to the soul and the sea refers to the flesh.  Our Lord Jesus Christ has been given rulership over all aspects of the called-out ones.  He has laid claim to the Sons in the fullness of their maturity.  Each level of Spiritual progress was intended to complete the perfecting process for this very day where His claim is fully realized and manifested in our lives.  How appropriate is it that His right foot of mercy and grace is placed on the flesh to redeem it from the sea of wickedness.  His left foot of judgment was needed to judge our selfish and religious thoughts and intents.  Nothing is withheld hence nothing is off limits.  This is when the long battle with the soul and flesh is complete.  His feet have successfully walked out the inheritance process and they have landed on us.  His enemies have become His footstool.   The manifestation of inheritance is now being accomplished in the Sons, the “first” third of men.

His feet were like pillars of fire.  The pillar of fire was given for light at night before the new day was at hand.  It represents the brightness of HIS coming as well as the purging and refining process.  It is HIM who completes this process, not any one of us as individuals.  We have no inherent power and authority and thus we cannot add an inch to our own stature.  As His Presence and dominion overtakes us, we become like Him.  We accept His Word in us and reject the world’s ways.  We disjoin from the world and enjoin ourselves to Him by fully accepting His Word to arise within us.  Paul presented this reality in the book of Philippians chapter 3:

20   For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,

21 who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body, according to the working by which He is able even to subdue all things to Himself.

Jesus does the transforming and conforming, not us.  Accept it, receive it, embrace it, and enjoin yourself to HIM!  This is the seventh and last trumpet.  It is the trumpet of spiritual completion and maturity.  Paul eludes to this trumpet 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.

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.”

As we put the pieces to the puzzle together and these mysteries are now being revealed in these last days, our level of anticipation must be dramatically increasing.  The mysteries are revealed to the “initiated”.  Think about it.  Where does Love play into this?  1 John 3 reveals the Divine Intent of Love:

1 Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called Sons of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.

2 Beloved, now we are Sons of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.

3 And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.

This is a cleansing and purifying Word, simply receive it!

Revelation 10:1 I saw still another mighty angel coming down from heaven, clothed with a cloud. And a rainbow was on his head, his face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire.

Finally…

Seven is the number of Spiritual maturity and perfection.  This perfection must be accompanied by intent of Love.  Our perfection cannot be accomplished unless we die to the old Adamic man and become the new creation in Christ.  John who was selected to write the book of Revelation also wrote these words:

1 John 4:17    Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world.

18   There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.

19   We love Him because He first loved us.

The Sons of Love have fully embraced the revelation of Jesus Christ and have settled for nothing less.  They have set aside every other doctrine, creed, philosophy, theory, and tradition in order that they may fully embrace Christ.  More church programs and meetings were not the answer.  Erecting bigger buildings did not satisfy the requirements.  No works of the old man could ascend to full acceptance.  Only putting off the old man could bring forth the new creation.  Any focus other than Jesus Christ is but vanity, death, and destruction.

This mighty angel or messenger is none other than Our Lord Jesus Christ.  It is HE who brings forth specific Words to us in order that we might ascend into full maturity.  He is clothed with a cloud just as He is described later in the book:

Revelation 14:14   Then I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and on the cloud sat One like the Son of Man, having on His head a golden crown, and in His hand a sharp sickle.

15   And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to Him who sat on the cloud, “Thrust in Your sickle and reap, for the time has come for You to reap, for the harvest of the earth is ripe.”

16   So He who sat on the cloud thrust in His sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped.

This angel is simply another facet or ministration of Our Lord Jesus Christ.   He is a king and a priest, each office requiring a different administration of Love.  The king’s office is a royal administration of ruling while the priestly office reigns in grace and mercy.  In this book, Jesus is described as a king, priest, lion, a lamb, a root, an offspring, a witness, a star, and a messenger.  Each description provides a different and distinct view.  I am a man, son, father, grandfather, friend, and businessman yet I am the same but looked at differently depending on the relationship.

This mighty angel comes down from Heaven and His power and authority originate there, superior to any earthly opposition.  This angel operated in the Spirit of Might, one of the seven spirits of GOD presented in Isaiah 11:

1 There shall come forth a Rod from the stem of Jesse,

​​And a Branch shall grow out of his roots.

2 ​​The Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon Him,

​​The Spirit of wisdom and understanding,

​​The Spirit of counsel and might,

​​The Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD.

This mighty angel operated in the fullness of the seven spirits as HE is bringing forth the seventh trumpet.  This angel is clothed in a cloud which is a representation of GOD’S Presence.  Throughout Scripture the cloud was used to describe the manifested presence of GOD.  In Exodus HIS unique and specific presence was depicted as a pillar of cloud by day and pillar of fire by night.  In Exodus 19, Moses entered a thick cloud to go before THE LORD.  In Leviticus 16:

1 Now the LORD spoke to Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they offered profane fire before the LORD, and died;

2 and the LORD said to Moses: “Tell Aaron your brother not to come at just any time into the Holy Place inside the veil, before the mercy seat which is on the ark, lest he die; for I will appear in the cloud above the mercy seat.

As you see, in each case a single cloud describes the manifested glory of THE LORD.  This mighty angel is clothe with a singular cloud.  To what end?  He comes to bring forth many Sons who will also operate in the fullness of HIS Spirit.  They will not settle for an earnest of the Spirit as experienced in the Age of Pentecost.  No, they seek the fullness as mature Sons being the express image of FATHER to all the world.  They too will show up in many clouds.  This is what John faithfully recorded in the first chapter of the book of Revelation:

7 Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. Even so, Amen.

8 “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” says the Lord, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”

We too will be wrapped in Glory as we minister unto the multitudes HIS everlasting Love!   Daniel saw this very same event in the vision of the Ancient of Days:

Daniel 7:13 ​​“I was watching in the night visions,

​​And behold, One like the Son of Man,

​​Coming with the clouds of heaven!

​​He came to the Ancient of Days,

​​And they brought Him near before Him.

14 ​​Then to Him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom,

​​That all peoples, nations, and languages should serve Him.

​​His dominion is an everlasting dominion,

​​Which shall not pass away,

​​And His kingdom the one

​​Which shall not be destroyed.

Jesus Christ is wrapped in a cloud of glory.  This glory is to be also given to the Sons for the ministry unto all mankind and will be an expression of the power and authority given to those who have been called, chosen, and matured into the fullness of their individual callings.  These Sons will be the myriads of Holy Ones seen by John and will also appear with Him in glory.  As Paul described, “being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord”.

Revelation 9:18   By these three (weapons of purification) a third of mankind was killed—by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone which came out of their mouths.

19 For their power is in their mouth and in their tails; for their tails are like serpents, having heads; and with them they do harm.

Notice in the fifth trumpet passage, men could not die whereas in the sixth trumpet a third of mankind were killed and their death came by the fiery WORD out of the mouths of the army of THE LORD.  The sounding of the trumpets focus on the Sons of GOD and we must see how they are separated out for duty versus the rest of mankind.  These sons are willing to die to the flesh for the Gospel’s sake and embrace the ministry of the fiery WORD in their lives.  In the past, ministers have assigned the term “a third of mankind” as a numerical, literal representation.  They have claimed that over two billion people would be wiped out in some catastrophic event assigned to Heaven’s wrath.  Instead, I am convinced this term represents a company separate from two other groups or divisions.  This book focuses on three sets of seven: seven seals, seven trumpets, and seven vials.  Each set refers to someone different.

The seven seals refer to the revealing of Jesus Christ on earth.  The seven trumpets deals with the Sons of GOD maturing into the fullness of their calling.  The seven vials deal with the church.  These three sets of seven equal twenty-one and this number represents the time of “trouble” or distress.  On a larger scale, the number 210 represents the time of Jacob’s trouble.  Jacob had to be processed before his character change would occur.  The good news is that it DID occur and we too will have a change from the old man to the new.  The only question is which company or “third” we are to be considered.  Those who hang on to religious traditions will be in a different third than those who not only have the revelation of the Sons of GOD but fully embrace it to the point of dying to the flesh and accepting FATHER’S processings of the fire, smoke, and brimstone.  We must embrace the perfecting process and set aside every weight that would hinder us.  We must focus on our own ascending to Spiritual maturity and let others mature in their own timing.  We must expose our own lawlessness found in the depths of our heart and let it be removed once and for all by OUR LORD:

2 Thessalonians 2:8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.

This brings us to the rest of mankind who are not counted or reckoned as Sons:

Revelation 9:20 But the rest of mankind, who were not killed by these (weapons of purification), did not repent of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and idols of gold, silver, brass, stone, and wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk.

21 And they did not repent of their murders or their sorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts.

In different versions of the Bible, the word “plagues” are inserted to describe the fire, smoke, and brimstone.  I prefer to insert the term “weapons” because it reflects a consistency with the thought of an army endued with strength.  It then improves our understanding, similar to what Paul wrote:

2 Corinthians 10:4   For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds,

5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,

6 and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.

Certainly the locust army represents a stronghold in the bottomless pit that must be overpowered and pulled down.  We must set aside any past paradigm we developed at a lower level of understanding so that we might not be hindered from receiving the higher revelation as we ascend to full maturity.  We only need to look back at history when the church persecuted the Godly astronomers who discovered the earth is not flat and it is not the center of the universe.  We take those discoveries for granted now that it has already been proven to be self evident.  What traditions are you holding on to?  Let them go and repent!  We must change our entire way of thinking.  The world’s economy is different from the Kingdom’s economy.  The world is one of scarcity whereas the Kingdom is one of abundance.  The world is based on external laws to police behavior.  We will have the laws written within us.  All of our concepts must change as we ascend to conform to the higher laws.  We must repent of everything that has ruled over us in the past!

Notice that this next group continued its worship of demons and idols, as well as they continued their perverse walk.  They continue to be ruled by the flesh.  They continue to feed the serpent within them and the locust army is empowered in the depths of the bottomless pit.  Remember, the battle is within us.  The wars, famines, and other aspects of this world have at their source the intent of the carnal nature.  Men are starving yet there are plenty of resources on this earth.  Men want to control other men thus they go to war.  Their carnal intent is continually fed by the deception originating in the Garden of Eden.  Their separation from FATHER has promoted all this death and destruction.  They will remain in this state as the Sons are being prepared to be a light unto all the world.  Until then, their wickedness will grow and mature as tares among the wheat.  Paul wrote of these two groups in Romans 8:

5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.

6 For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be.

8 So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

Those who truly hear the WORD (the sounding of the seven trumpets) will ascend to become spiritually minded.  The rest will remain in their carnal minds and focus on the things of this world resulting in death and destruction.  A “third” will respond and a “third” will not.

Revelation 9:. 17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision: those who sat on them had breastplates of fiery red (fire), hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow(brimstone); and the heads of the horses were like the heads of lions; and out of their mouths came fire, smoke, and brimstone.

This army is in battle with the army of locusts who arose out of the bottomless pit of our hearts.  The locusts had breastplates of iron whereas those in this army have superior breastplates of fire for fire will melt iron.  This army will purify us of those locusts.  Six being the number of man is most appropriate for the purification process to occur at this level of the maturing process.  You must clean out the depths of the heart before the new circumcised heart can be given.

The heads like lions overtake the locust heads as men.  Lions are known as kings and devour their prey.  This righteous army will remove the old thought processes associated with the traditions of men.  Their legalism and condemnation of others will be removed.  Their unrighteous judgment designed to exalt their own thinking will be devoured.  They will no longer tout that they are followers of this man or that one, they will not hide behind their education or initials placed after their name as though they have some implied anointing others are without.  Would you rather have the anointing in full measure given by FATHER or an advanced degree in some educational discipline handed out by men?  Don’t get me wrong, advanced degrees are helpful in meeting the needs of your vocation but they don’t have an inherent superior Spiritual anointing over others without them.

The locusts had on their heads an appearance of an illusionary crown of gold, not the real thing.  They tried to convey Divine authority but actually it was one of deception.  In response, out of the mouths of the righteous army came fire, smoke, and brimstone.  Fire is for devouring its target and it will consume anything in opposition to it.  This all consuming fire is the LIVING WORD OF GOD and it will consume all the religious doctrines, creeds, traditions, church systems, and any other self-proclaimed philosophy that would attempt to substitute itself for the reality of the LIVING WORD.  Jesus spoke:

John 6:63  “It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.”

The blue being described refers to the hottest part of a flame.  This heat produced from a blue flame will be greater than  those of another color and refers to a full and complete result of purification.  Sulfur is also a cleansing agent directed toward sickness and disease and is also translated as “Divine”.  These three cleansing agents are described using the three primary colors:

This denotes that every aspect of what we see will be dealt with: spirit, soul, and body.  Every shade of every doctrine will be dealt with.  Nothing in the visible spectrum will be left out.  As we fully conform to HIS Image, we will be Divinely enabled to deal with any and every situation that presents itself whether it is dealing with the false doctrines of men, sickness, disease, or even death:

Luke 7:11 Now it happened, the day after, that He went into a city called Nain; and many of His disciples went with Him, and a large crowd.

12 And when He came near the gate of the city, behold, a dead man was being carried out, the only son of his mother; and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the city was with her.

13 When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said to her, “Do not weep.”

14 Then He came and touched the open coffin, and those who carried him stood still. And He said, “Young man, I say to you, arise.”

15 So he who was dead sat up and began to speak. And He presented him to his mother.

In a few of the past Pentecostal ministries, people were raised from the dead.  These were but a sample of things to come.  Those ministries acted as a precursor to the fullness of times to give us hope and expectation of greater things to come.

The immense three-fold purpose of this army is to fully cleanse us of the locust army.  The deceit, the false doctrines, the religious systems, the opinions of well-meaning ministries must all be removed from the depths of our inner selves.  Their torment will no longer be found within us.  Their expressions of guilt and judgment will be burned up by the fiery WORD.  Their roots will be plucked up and tossed into the fire.  Truth in Love will replace all that is removed.  You will see men through the same eyes of compassion as Jesus did when He raised the son from death.  Wars and rumors of war will fade away as the Sons come forth in the fullness of time.  Our strength will originate from Heaven and not from any other source.  This power will be for delivering, purifying, redeeming, and transforming.   It will originate from the Divine Intent of Love.  Let HIS WORD come forth!

Revelation 9:15  So the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, were released to kill a third of mankind.

This verse speaks of timing when each of the Sons is fully prepared and is specific to the hour of the day of the month and of the year.  Back in 1997 I was in the process of writing a program at my PC and HIS anointing came upon me.  Immediately, FATHER told me to turn around and look at the clock.  It was 1:11 PM and 11 seconds by the second hand.  HE then said, “I bring forth my anointing at a specific time for a specific purpose.”  The anointing departed.  As you can imagine, I have pondered this occurrence over the years and have looked for the full manifestation of this Word.  As each January 11th approached I wondered if this would be the timing.  I continue to ponder this.  This verse of 1 hour, 1 day, 1 month, and 1 year does have a connection to that day when HIS timing was revealed to me.

Galatians 4:4  But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law,

5 to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.

FATHER does not haphazardly bring forth HIS plan.  HIS timing is impeccable and you and I are here based on HIS precise plan.  Each and every planet has a precise orbit and scientists are able to pinpoint their expected location years in advance.  HIS Sons will be fully prepared right on schedule.  I believe this is why HE is keeping me focused in the early mornings to share with those who have the same passion for HIM.  I only want to share what the MOST HOLY SPIRIT would have me write.  My own opinion and $3 will buy you a latte, that’s it.

Jesus arrived exactly at the fullness of time for Him to come.  We will be empowered in a similar manner.  In the meantime, we must continue through the stages of full maturity embracing each aspect of the process.  It appears to me the time is short but only FATHER knows the hour, day, month, and year.  I’m good with that and so should you.

In Acts chapter 2, when the Day of Pentecost had fully come, the Holy Spirit was imparted to mankind in a new anointing.  These events are all based on HIS precise timing and since HE deals in much longer timeframes we must be patient when we spend years in preparation rather than months.  The farmer had to be patient for both the former rain AND latter rain.  Once we are fully conformed to HIS Image, HIS character, no man will be able to withstand the anointing.  No politician, official, scientist, professor, or any other authority will resist the Glory of THE LORD in HIS Sons!  They will fully express the image of Christ, not their old nature and of no reputation of their own.  What a day it will be!  There will be no self-promoting for the anointing will speak for itself.  There will be no “selling” or marketing empty proclamations that the Sonship has arrived.  No one will question the manifestation when the fullness of that day arrives.

Revelation 9:16 Now the number of the army of the horsemen was two hundred million; I heard the number of them.

17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision: those who sat on them had breastplates of fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow; and the heads of the horses were like the heads of lions; and out of their mouths came fire, smoke, and brimstone

We must continue to view this book in the Spiritual realm not the literal.  200,000,000 is interpreted from the expression “two myriads of myriads”.  In other words, an innumerable host.  This army will do battle with the locust army mentioned earlier in this chapter.  This army will slay a third of mankind.  Which third?  The flesh, that carnal nature, is the “third” that dies.  The judgment of the flesh will be swift and righteous as horseman clothed in white robes.

The army must conquer the “land” or the carnal nature within each of us.  We are being processed in preparation for the conquering of a land possessed by the adversaries of THE LORD.  They were given authority for a time until HIS army is fully prepared to take the land.  Their lawlessness will be weighed in the balance and found wanting.   At that precise time, the army of THE LORD will ride throughout the land and overcome all the opposition.  Be patient for the day of release for it will surely come.

Revelation 9:13 Then the sixth angel sounded: And I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God, 14 saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.”

The number four represents the four corners of the earth, then entire world.  The horns represent strength and a source of power:

Habakkuk 3:4  And his brightness was as the light; he had horns coming out of his hand: and there was the hiding of his power.

The golden altar of incense is described in Exodus 30 and it is “most Holy to the LORD”.  It is where the life-giving blood is applied for the atonement of sins.  It symbolizes the power of redemption for the entire world, not just a small minority with the rest burning in everlasting hell.  The voice came from this viewpoint of redemption and restoration where the power is hidden.  This altar is where the prayers of the saints emanate from.  The prayers, praise, and worship in the spiritual realm are key factors in bringing forth the word of release.

The Euphrates river was at the border or boundary of Babylon and it had to be crossed either to enter Babylon or to leave Babylon.  The name Babylon means “confusion (by mixing)”.  How appropriate that Babylon plays such an important role in the book of Revelation.  Men have been confused by the revelation of Jesus Christ by viewing it through carnal eyes that cannot behold spiritual truths.  Out of all the books of the Bible, this book has been one of confusion and mystery for generations.  The mysteries have been hidden from our understanding until the fullness of time.  The key to unlocking the mysteries in this book is Love.  Reading it from any other perspective only promotes fear, death, and destruction yet Jesus Christ brings forth life and more abundantly.  Life swallows up death and death cannot be overcome by any other manner.

The voice from the power of the golden altar calls for the release of the four angels who have been bound by the confusion in the world.  This great river separates the confusion of the carnal realm of Babylon from the inheritance of the Spiritual realm of the Promise Land.

Deuteronomy 1:6 “The LORD our God spoke to us in Horeb, saying: ‘You have dwelt long enough at this mountain.7 Turn and take your journey, and go to the mountains of the Amorites, to all the neighboring places in the plain, in the mountains and in the lowland, in the South and on the seacoast, to the land of the Canaanites and to Lebanon, as far as the great river, the River Euphrates. 8 See, I have set the land before you; go in and possess the land which the LORD swore to your fathers—to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—to give to them and their descendants after them.’

These four angels represent the Word to not only leave Babylon but to cross the borders of compromise and fully enter into the Promise Land.  Do not let the border or boundary of confusion impede your crossing over.  You cannot entertain the world’s trappings and fully embrace the inheritance on the other side.  Don’t look back!  We must be fully purged and processed thereby removing the tree of the knowledge of good and evil at its roots.  Let only the tree of life prevail in our lives.

Why stand at the border and camp out?  Why look across at the fullness of the SPIRIT and be satisfied with a little fruit here and there.  Why walk sporadically in the SPIRIT when you can be fully apprehended and walk in the fullness?  The spirit of compromise would have you maintain a half-hearted walk between carnality and spirituality instead of being fully perfected IN HIM.  Let no your emotions dictate your path and press on to the high calling.  Don’t settle for anything less than your high calling!  Let us go on to perfection, leaving the discussion of the elementary principles of Christ.

James 1:22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.

23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror;

24 for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.

25 But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.

There is a difference between revelation and possession.  The Promised Land has been revealed to those who have been called.  However those who are chosen are the ones determined to possess the land.  Those are the ones who “do” the Word and are not just hearers only.  Love is active and as you walk in Love you do and become the LIVING WORD.  You condemn not but instead you promote life to those you encounter.  Our inheritance is the fullness of CHRIST, not some piece of land in the Middle East.  It is found in the highest realm and Paul speaks of this inheritance beyond the border of the Euphrates in Ephesians chapter 1:

9 having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself,

10 that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth—in Him.

11 In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will,

Let us receive the fullness of this message from the angels no longer being bound by confusion.
