Apocalypse or the Book Of Revelation

We know that the Apocalypse or book of Revelation is symbolic. In order to understand this revelation of Jesus Christ we need to admit some things. First this book is the REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST. It is never stated in Revelation that it is intended to reveal JUST THE END TIME EVENTS, nor does it ever state that it is only meant to affect some small portion of THE SAINTS.

The reason I am writing this study in this type of format is: I want to stir up your minds, in Christ Jesus. Many get upset when you use certain terms spiritually. They want to spiritualize words where they want to, but do not want us to when it opposes their teachings. They want to limit us to what they teach, they being carnal. Some might say that I spiritualize things too much. If you rightly divide the word through the spirit of God this is impossible. (John 6:63 KJV) It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the WORDS that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

Some have the revelation of the Godhead, but not the spiritual insight of the revelation of Jesus Christ, that was given to John. Jesus is to be revealed in your life daily, and the revelation has always been for, and is for all LIVING SAINTS. This revelation of Jesus Christ has been lived, is being lived, and will be lived in the lives of the saints. (Rev 1:3 KJV) Blessed is he that readeth, and they that HEAR the WORDS of this PROPHECY, and KEEP those things which are written therein: for the TIME IS AT HAND.

You cannot KEEP THOSE THINGS if you do not understand Revelation.

All epistles no matter who they are written to, have benefited all of the saints, and were written for this purpose. Revelation was also written, and intended to benefit all saints throughout the new covenant period, or new testament church age. However, there is one extreme difference about the book of Revelation. This one book, in the new testament, is the only book, in the new testament, that does not depict the events, or actions, of Jesus Christ, Apostles, or any other saints while living here on earth.

Consider this one fact, since this is the Revelation of Jesus Christ, not a crystal ball for world end time events. There is no other book that Satan would rather have misunderstood. (Rev 1:1) The REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST, which God gave unto him, to SHOW unto HIS SERVANTS things which MUST SHORTLY COME TO PASS; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John.

No. 1. The REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST.

No. 2. SHOW UNTO HIS SERVANTS (THE CHURCH)

No. 3. MUST SHORTLY COME TO PASS.

These are the facts that are stated in the very first verse and should be plainly seen by a man that is being lead by the Holy Ghost. Let me expose you to some words that are used to reveal spiritual things. I will place them in question form.

LAMB, do you think Jesus is sitting as an actual LAMB in the mist of the THRONE, or do you believe it is illustrative?

Do you believe that the GREAT WHITE THRONE is symbolic or really exist as such? (Isa 66:1 KJV) Thus saith the LORD, The HEAVEN is my THRONE, and the EARTH is my FOOTSTOOL: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest?

Do you believe Jesus as God has his feet propped upon the earth, and his rear is sitting in heaven?

FOOTSTOOL - Do you think the earth is really a footstool, or is this word also symbolic? I believe it means to place one under someone's authority. (1 Ki 5:3 KJV) Thou knowest how that David my father could not build an house unto the name of the LORD his God for the wars which were about him on every side, until the LORD PUT THEM UNDER THE SOLES OF HIS FEET.

TRUMPETS, do you believe that these represent actual TRUMPETS, or do you believe that a TRUMPET represents a voice. I will give you a verse to study. (Rev 1:10 KJV) I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a GREAT VOICE, as of a TRUMPET.

SEVEN STARS, do you believe that these are actual physical stars, or do you believe they are symbolic? I will give you another verse to study. (Rev 1:20) The MYSTERY OF THE SEVEN STARS which thou sawest in my RIGHT HAND. The SEVEN STARS are the ANGELS of the SEVEN CHURCHES: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches.

RIGHT HAND, do you believe right-hand means actual physical right hand, or do you believe it represents a place of power. In the Hebrew it means. 3225. yamiyn, yaw-meen'; from H3231; the right hand or side (leg, eye) of a person or other object (AS STRONGER AND MORE DEXTEROUS); locally, the south:-- + left-handed, right (hand, side), south.

SEVEN GOLDEN CANDLESTICKS, here again do you believe them symbolic, or real. The rest of verse 20 to study says: The SEVEN CANDLESTICKS which thou sawest are the SEVEN CHURCHES.

Let me show you how men were spiritually represented by clouds, wind and trees. These men can be clouds of Lucifer. (Prov 25:14 KJV) Whoso boasteth himself of a FALSE GIFT is like CLOUDS and WIND WITHOUT RAIN. Jude 1:12 KJV) These are SPOTS in your feasts of charity, when they FEAST with you, feeding themselves without fear: CLOUDS they are WITHOUT WATER, carried about of WINDS; TREES whose FRUIT withereth, without fruit, TWICE DEAD, plucked up by the ROOTS. Look at the words that are symbolic and represent spiritual things, SPOTS, FEAST, WINDS, TREES, FRUIT, AND TWICE DEAD.

Words defined in the spiritual revelation of understanding:

I have seen these terms in the spiritual sense for some time, but did not know that I could prove them with the actual Hebrew definitions. I hope you will check these definitions for credibility and respond. This list will continue to be added to. Any word definition that you would like to see added and defined, will be if you contact me. Any definition of any word found to be in error by you will be reevaluated by myself and other brethren. I pray you will contact me about this writing and voice your opinions, God bless!

ARMAGEDDON - Spiritual battle all saints fight with Satan. The battle in life you fight as a soldier of Christ Jesus. If Jesus and we fight Satan in this last battle as taught by carnal minds, what weapon will hurt a SPIRIT? Will a gun kill him? Will a tank run over him? Can he be put in a head lock? Can we fight him with judo, or karate? our WEAPONS are SPIRITUAL. (2 Cor 10:4 KJV) (For the WEAPONS of OUR WARFARE ARE NOT CARNAL, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds. (Eph 6:12 KJV) For we WRESTLE NOT AGAINST FLESH and BLOOD, but against principalities, against powers, against the RULERS OF DARKNESS OF THIS WORLD, against SPIRITUAL WICKNESS IN HIGH PLACES.

This is the last battle of all saints and they are prepared for it. (Eph 6:13 KJV) Wherefore take unto you the whole amour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. (Eph 6:14 KJV) Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; (Eph 6:15 KJV) And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; (Eph 6:16 KJV) Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. (Eph 6:17 KJV) And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: (Eph 6:18 KJV) Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.

(Zec 1:10 KJV) And the man that stood among the myrtle trees answered and said, These are they whom the LORD hath sent to walk to and fro through the earth. .

I know it's being taught that 200,000 horsemen are going to ride horses and fight in the battle of Armageddon. Now, just read how these horses are described and ask yourself what natural breed of horse is this talking about? (Rev 9:17 KJV) And thus I saw the horses in the VISION, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the HEADS OF THE HORSES were as the HEADS OF LIONS; and OUT OF THEIR MOUTHS ISSUED FIRE and SMOKE and BRIMSTONE.

ISRAEL - God's chosen, the nation of God, THE CHURCH (ROM 2:28KJV) For he is NOT A JEW, which is ONE OUTWARDLY; neither is that CIRCUMCISION, which is OUTWARD in the FLESH: (Rom 2:29 KJV) But HE IS A JEW, WHICH IS ONE INWARDLY; and CIRCUMCISION IS THAT OF THE HEART, IN THE SPIRIT, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

WOMAN (Gen 37:9 KJV) And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me. (10) And he told it to his father, and to his brethren: and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy MOTHER and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth? Strongs Hebrew 5375. nasa', naw-saw'; or nacah (Psa. 4 : 6 [H7], naw-saw'; a prim. root; to lift, in a great variety of applications, lit. and fig., absol. and rel.

ONE THOUSAND YEARS - One eternal, unceasing, everlasting, infinite, or permanent day of God. Hebrew meaning: 505. 'eleph, eh-lef; prop. the same as H504; hence (an ox's head being the FIRST LETTER OF THE ALPHABET, and this eventually used as a numeral) a thousand:--thousand. We are in Jesus Christ the first (ALPHA). (Rev 1:8 KJV) I am ALPHA and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

I believe there is one verse used out of context to state that God keeps time. (2 Pet 3:8 KJV) But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. As John in Revelation uses one hour for the time Babylon will be destroyed, which represents a short period of time. Peter uses one day showing a short period of time compared to a thousand years, long period of time. God does not age, therefore he is not affected by time. I can prove through the word that God is eternal and does not worry about keeping time in eternity. (Deu 33:27 KJV) The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy them. God and the church will not last a hour, a day, a hundred years, a thousand years, ten thousand years, etc. etc. We, the church, and God do reign and will reign through out eternity. (Mat 19:16 KJV) And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?

I believe in a thousand year reign with Christ Jesus in the day of the Lord which is that one eternal day of God. I will be there in my glorified body and spend eternity with my Lord and Savior. Yet we also reign now and have power in his kingdom. (Luke 10:19 KJV) Behold, I GIVE YOU POWER to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over ALL THE POWER of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. You are saints, kings, and priests here, or you never will be one later. If you are not born again here, you will not be born again after the natural death. If you do not enter the kingdom of God here you will not have any second Millennial chance. If you are not a soldier now fighting the last battle in your life for God now, with spiritual weapons. You need not worry about any last battle called Armageddon where the weapons are carnal. The battle of Armageddon is the battle of the church, and the battle of every saint that lives. We all fight that great last battle before we leave this world. I fight as a soldier in the army of Jesus Christ. I have fought this battle for about twenty years and it will be the last fight I will ever fight.

People are waiting to rule with Jesus as kings and priests in the so called earthly Millennial. They fail to realize in the very first chapter of revelation John said he has made us kings and priest. (Rev 1:6 KJV) And HATH MADE US KINGS AND PRIESTS unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

(Rev 22:14 KJV) Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have RIGHT TO THE TREE OF LIFE, and may ENTER IN through the gates into the city.

It was the word or sword that kept Adam and Eve from entering back into the garden. (Gen 3:24 KJV) So he drove out the man; and he placed at the EAST of the GARDEN OF EDEN CHERUBIM'S, and a FLAMING SWORD which TURNED EVERY WAY, TO KEEP THE WAY OF THE TREE OF LIFE.

Wormwood in the Hebrew means: 3939. la'anah, lah-an-aw'; from an unused root supposed to mean to CURSE; wormwood (regarded as poisonous, and therefore accursed):--hemlock, wormwood. Satan fell in Revelation as wormwood. He is a star that kills everything he touches. Wormwood is that which seems good in man's eyes but is cursed in God's, as Cain's sacrifice.

These definitions will help you understand the books of prophesy. I challenge you to find the spiritual meanings that it gives you right in the word of God. Too many are not seeing the spiritual revelation of Jesus Christ and his teachings. They fail to seek out the spiritual testimony of Jesus Christ. Know that the kingdom of God is here and we are to enjoy our privileges now. (Rom 14:17 KJV) For the KINGDOM OF GOD is NOT MEAT AND DRINK; but RIGHTEOUSNESS, and PEACE, and JOY IN THE HOLY GHOST.
