King Time

Jehovah, Michael and Time

Ever think about “time”? Physical “time” had to have a first second. A “startwatch”, a Master Clock..

**(Genesis 1:1) IN the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

**(Genesis 2:4) This is a history of the heavens and the earth IN the time of their being created.

**(Proverbs 8:23) From time indefinite I was installed, from the start, from times earlier than the earth.

**(Micah 5:2) whose origin is from early times, from the days of time indefinite.

Since God is forever He never has been or is subject to time, he is Eternity Himself.

Then who is?

When did God say: “Let there be Time”? Who is Time then?

The Word is the beginning the “Time Clock” of God.

Now we are talking Heaven, Angel Time, a time before physical “time”, which must have a benchmark to know when it began, a “gauge” to know how it passes, it has physical measurement in our solar system based on various things like the earth’s circular motion in an orbit around the sun. (Gen1:14-19)

What is an “angelic year” in heaven before any of this atomic “matter” stuff?

Well in any event at some God “time”, the universe had it’s beginning through Michael, only begotten god, archangel. (John1; Col1:13-20; Rev3:14)

Now that Archangel is meaning Chief Angel. What was he before there were any other angels? (Jude9; Dan12; Rev12)

That is the meaning of the Greek word “archaois” from which “arch” is derived, meaning “ancient”. Ancient Angel, hence Archangel, which really should be capitalized as Michael is the first Angel, and the only Archangel from which all other angels came into existence by Jehovah’s creative power.

Think about it.

Time for the Lamb of God

Then think about this: “The lamb slaughtered from the founding of the world”? [1]

**(Revelation 13:8) the Lamb who was slaughtered, from the founding of the world.

That is an interesting concept, which world? Are we really talking about the Adamic world of creation which fell into sin? A “new world”? [2]

Well consider that this Great Archangel, by Jehovah’s Decree (Ps2:8) in that very old covenant made between God and the Word (Luke22:28-30), after the sin in this world as the perfect “seed” answer to the human issue of sin (Gen3:15), did become a perfect human being in this Adamic world, but he is not Adamic. He is Last Adamic, he has with Jehovah taken the “Kingdom of the World” (1Cor15:45; Isa9:6). So it is “from the founding of this world” in sin that this purpose is formed (Gen3:15; Heb2:14). At the Edenic sin, this purpose was formed perfectly completing now:

**(Revelation 11:15-18) And the seventh angel blew his trumpet. And loud voices occurred in heaven, saying: “The kingdom of the world did become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he will rule as king forever and ever.” 16 And the twenty-four elders who were seated before God upon their thrones fell upon their faces and worshiped God, 17 saying: “We thank you, Jehovah God, the Almighty, the One who is and who was, because you have taken your great power and begun ruling as king. 18 But the nations became wrathful, and your own wrath came, and the appointed time for the dead to be judged, and to give their reward to your slaves the prophets and to the holy ones and to those fearing your name, the small and the great, and to bring to ruin those ruining the earth.”

So notice in that scripture that the nations are given time to show wrath towards God’s Kingdom and the conquest of earth is also shown in that sequence, and the reward of God’s faithful prophets and slaves?

Can the dead faithful “servants” of God be born back into Adam on earth? (Isa26:19) No, Christ has purchased them by Last Adamic perfect human sacrifice and blood atonement – Adam had one temporary life to provide ending in death. (Rom6-7)

Now look at this scripture:

**(John 1:29) The next day he beheld Jesus coming toward him, and he said: “See, the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world!

Well you see the Passover “lamb” from it’s beginning in Israel was not a sin offering, it was the Passover “to Jehovah” (Ex12:11) which after that became also a memorial seasonal festival celebration (Lev23:4). Christ became the Greatest Passover and new memorial:

**(1 Corinthians 5:7) For, indeed, Christ our passover has been sacrificed.

The original Atonement Day in Israel consisted of the blood of the bull to cover the priesthood, and the blood of the ram for the people – that was the sin offering. This was not eaten, the Passover was eaten. There is a reason for all this in God’s purpose being symbolized in Israel’s history.

The ‘Lamb of the Passover’ was the first sacrificial blood that delivered the Israelites out of Egypt into that future Mosaic covenant arrangement, the Passover preceded that arrangement of atonement sacrifice through the Aaronic priesthood, but ALL of those sacrifices pictured Christ as the finality. The Passover comes first, hence the Kingdom members first partook and partake of the “bread” and “wine” of the Christ Lamb sacrifice.

So the “lamb that takes the sin of the world away”, that removes Adamic sin, Adam himself genetically from the human family, must be MORE than just atonement blood sacrifice. Forgiveness alone will not produce perfection, it is for atoning for sin. The actual sin removal is perfection itself, it must be a perfect whole ‘Lamb of God’, the perfect complete human sacrifice of Jesus Christ’s soul, the perfect “man out of heaven” pictured by the “lamb”. Adam cannot provide true sinlessness any longer (leavened “bread”), Last Adam can and will (unleavened “bread” from heaven).

So God by that Lamb sacrifice can remove Adam, the “Lamb” is Last Adamic, no need for two Adam’s in God’s purpose for earth, just one perfect Last Adam for mankind’s restoration by forgiveness into actual human perfection like Last Adam’s. This can return the lost blessing of Gen1:27-28; Ps133; Rev22:1-3)

ReCreation Time

Now if this Michael is the perfect starting “Clock of God” is he really subject to physical earth time? Is it truly a limitation to Michael?

Can he not by God Almighty’s power “reset” the human “creation clock” to the perfect beginning again?

Yes he can, and that may be part of the aspect that this lamb is slaughtered from the founding of also the “new world”, the “new earth” for this purpose, the “Re-Genesis”, “re-creation”, “regeneration”, the re-founding of a perfect world of physical earthly creation:

**(Matthew 19:28) Jesus said to them: “Truly I say to YOU, In the re-creation, when the Son of man sits down upon his glorious throne, YOU who have followed me will also yourselves sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

**(Romans 8:18-22) Consequently I reckon that the sufferings of the present season do not amount to anything in comparison with the glory that is going to be revealed in us. 19 For the eager expectation of the creation is waiting for the revealing of the sons of God. 20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not by its own will but through him that subjected it, on the basis of hope 21 that the creation itself also will be set free from enslavement to corruption and have the glorious freedom of the children of God. 22 For we know that all creation keeps on groaning together and being in pain together until now.

Obviously God has an entire re-creation of humanity since Abel to restore, so the “twelve tribes of Israel” correspond to a far grander final fulfillment as does everything so far discussed based on typical Israel. [3]

Now obviously this is beyond human thinking in any exact detail, and it is obvious NONE of these physical limitations human’s think exist actually exist to God (Matt 19:26 – Note that this scripture immediately precedes Matt 19:28). Jehovah does “Whatsoever He Pleases”, with no impossibilities, no barriers, no limitations but his own Righteousness which has NO limits, LOVE. (Gen18:14; Luke1:37)

Obviously too, this human creation since Abel, has potentially even billions of people who never heard of Jehovah and Michael (Acts17:30), and never knew the details of what is now common knowledge from Jehovah to his witnesses and those of the world who can believe the truth given by God today. So unlike the reactionary judgment upon these clueless people by Christendom’s bedarkened minions, the “unrighteous” and ignorant of this awareness will be given full opportunity for also the first time ever, at perfect human life. The righteous earthly faithful are also of course in this opportunity. (John 25-29; Dan12:2; Rev20:12-15)

This “re-creation”, this restoration work, this perfecting of mankind into Last Adam the Eternal Father Jesus Christ is ENORMOUS, and far far beyond human ability to understand. (Isa9:6; Rom11:34)

Messianic Kingdom Time

This is why that Messianic Kingdom ruling power MUST take over earth’s affairs and allow the Sovereign Master Mind Jehovah to do what he does, guide perfection by his perfect power of Love, Justice, Wisdom and Power in Christ the King and why Jesus Christ and 144000 King-Priest Immortal Incorruptibles WILL carry out this fantastic work in 1000 years, by perfect Divine Powers over earth. (Rev21:1-5)

By this power and provision of God’s Kingdom, the huge earthly human works of God’s “making all things new” can be brought about, and God’s will in heaven will be brought about on earth in perfection, in fact God’s will by “new heavens” will be done on the “new earth”, a perfect divine creative purification from all Adamic sin and Satanic spiritual corruptions. (Matt6:9; Eph1-3; Rome8:18-22)

This Eternal Purpose is getting ready to BEGIN final earth provisions through Lord Michael, Jesus Christ “The Beginning”, through the Eternal Purposer and Becomer, Jehovah Almighty God restoring the full Reign of the King Jehovah God in approximately 1000 years, and the complete removal of all rival wicked sovereignties of man, sin, death and Satan and the demons. (Rev21:1-5; Rev20:10)

From the beginning, in time, in cannot be stopped – it will occur as God has spoken and promised it must become reality. (Ps2; Isa65:22)

Are You “Rooted and Established on the Foundation”?

Foreordained “Before the Founding of the World”

Paul wrote to fellow believers: “[God] foreordained us to the adoption through Jesus Christ as sons to himself.” Indeed, Jehovah determined that he would adopt some humans into his own perfect heavenly family. These adopted sons of God would rule as kings and priests with Christ. (Rom. 8:19-23; Rev. 5:9, 10) In his original challenge against Jehovah’s sovereignty, Satan implied that God’s human creation was flawed. How fitting, then, that Jehovah chose members of that same human family to have a role in eventually ridding the universe of all badness, including the source of evil, Satan the Devil! However, Jehovah did not foreordain which individual humans would be adopted as his sons. Rather, God determined that there would be a group, or class, of humans that would rule with Christ in heaven.—Rev. 14:3, 4.

What “world” did Paul mean when he wrote to fellow Christians that they, as a group, were chosen “before the founding of the world”? He was not referring to a time before God created the earth or mankind. That would violate the fundamental principle of justice. How could Adam and Eve be held accountable for their actions if God had predetermined that they would fail even before they were created? So, then, when did God determine how he would remedy the situation that was created when Adam and Eve joined Satan in his rebellion against God’s sovereignty? Jehovah did so only after our original parents rebelled but before a world of imperfect yet redeemable humankind came into existence.

Highlights From the Book of Matthew

Matt 19:28—What is represented by “the twelve tribes of Israel” that will be judged? They do not represent the 12 tribes of spiritual Israel. (Gal. 6:16; Rev. 7:4-8) The apostles to whom Jesus was speaking were going to be part of spiritual Israel, not judges of its members. Jesus made ‘a covenant with them for a kingdom,’ and they were to be ‘a kingdom and priests to God.’ (Luke 22:28-30; Rev. 5:10) Those of spiritual Israel are to “judge the world.” (1 Cor. 6:2) Hence, “the twelve tribes of Israel,” whom those on the heavenly thrones judge, evidently represent the world of mankind who are outside that royal, priestly class, as pictured by the 12 tribes on Atonement Day.—Lev., chap. 16.

Revelation Wildbeast System – 4 Features of Human Government

Revelation Wildbeast System – 4 Features of Human Government

There are 3 wildbeasts described in Revelation.

There is an “image” of the wildbeast as well.

This wildbeast 1 pictures national governments:

(Revelation 13:1) And I saw a wild beast ascending out of the sea, with ten horns and seven heads, and upon its horns ten diadems, but upon its heads blasphemous names.

This wildbeast is a composite picture of global governmental power worldwide:

(Revelation 17:3)  I caught sight of a woman sitting upon a scarlet-colored wild beast that was full of blasphemous names and that had seven heads and ten horns.

1. Wildbeast 1 – Revelation 13:1

A. Wildbeast1 “from the sea” with 7heads, 10 horns, is the first of the Revelation wildbeasts described fully.

2. Wildbeast2 – Revelation 13:11

A. Wildbeast2 “from the earth” with one head, two lamb horns is the second wildbeast;

3. Image of the Wildbeast – Revelation 13:11-15

A. Wildbeast2 by dragon power “gives life to”, that is engineers on the world scene the “image of the wildbeast” for human worship;

B. Wildbeast2 promotes worship of the first wildbeast1 and the “image” on the global scene, but does not draw worship to itself;

4. Wildbeast3 – Revelation 17:3

A. This “image of the wildbeast” in time becomes a scarlet wildbeast3;

B. The Babylon the Great harlot rides this wildbeast3.

C. The harlot is eventually destroyed by Wildbeast3 and the “kings” of the earth.

National Wildbeast Worship System

Wildbeast1 is the very old governmental political systems that have arisen on earth since after the flood from the first religio-governmental system of Nimrod at Babel.

Human Governments

So this 7headed wildbeast pictures a succession of governmental and societal systems that have drawn people’s worship and life sacrifice to support, from Egypt to the Anglo-American 7th head, this is a picture of all human sovereignties that left themselves up as more important to worship, work for and sacrifice for than God himself. Hence it has blasphemies written on it’s heads.

Governmental Experiments

This wildbeast symbol also contains all the governmental evolutions that mankind has tried in world history, all the social frameworks, all the political philosophies – except one. Even globalist governmental philosophy, the last of man’s progressive “gathering to Har-Magedon” (Rev16:13-16), originates from the typical nation-state systems that arose from tribal and feudal fragmentary human ruling systems.

Specialized Theorization

The Anglo-American wildbeast2 is an example of elite political theorists and global planners devising a form of government that transcends national scale political systems. The Anglo-American world power is also the 7th head of wildbeast1. But we see that for divine reasons God has described a separate Anglo-American wildbeast2 to show that power is what engineered and formulated on the world scene the “image of the wildbeast”, a concept of global government represented now by the United Nations. (Rev13:11-15)

Progressive Evolution

So this took time, even the partnership of the United States of America and Great Britain was not finalized until approximately 1914 and World War 1. Besides a couple hundred or more billions of dollars in war profits, world war 1 provided the Anglo-American power system the opportunity to erect the “image of the wildbeast” for “world peace” in 1919. All the elite organs such as the US CFR and Brit RIIA were in place as global financial planners to administer the WW1 debts, and to expand the finance and governmental specialized systems throughout Europe which gave financial and logistic power in America and Britain to fund and bring about WW1.

End Objective

This eventual evolution was repeated for another massively profitable war development, World War 2. The Anglo-American wildbeast2 financial globalist network made multiple trillions of dollars in profit, and saddled the national wildbeast1 in multiple trillions of dollars in debt. So the formula is very successful, and gave birth now to the United Nations. Obviously this depression to war cycle is a formula of Wildbeast2 for grinding enormous wealth capital from national power systems, and indebting those nation-state governments and societies for controlling them for years for constant consolidation into it’s own globalist system- with an end objective.

Globalist Wildbeast System Worship

Consolidation Completing

In time this globalist elite power system which engineered the predominant governmental and finance debt relationship based on massive and smaller war marketeering became the easily identified global creditor system. By this consolidation of wealth and resources into elite control, through limited national political system control, this elite globalist system soon owned entire governmental systems, re-engineered regulatory law to serve globalist purposes, and constructed continually and more massive Anglo-American global military system.

Possessing the Wildbeast1

By the time Revelation 17 begins to describe this new scarlet wildbeast3bmonster, we see now that the UN and globalist power system has as a basis for it’s power, the wildbeast1 7headed national power system. This scarlet wildbeast3 is also 7headed, and now has blasphemies not just on it’s heads as wildbeast1 has, but it is full of blasphemous names. The abomination of human rival sovereignties has now matured to nearing Armageddon global scale of defiance of God’s Kingdom.

Global Government on the Rise

So this scarlet wildbeast3 is a global government preparing to exercise more power. This wildbeast3 is described now in the succession of the 7 kings, or 7 heads of the wildbeast1 as the 8th King of human world history pictured in one complete scarlet wildbeast3 – the last human experiment on governmental philosophy and setup.

Examples of the 8th King Transferring National Governmental Power into it’s Globalist Governmental Power System

(Revelation 17:12-18) 12 “And the ten horns that you saw mean ten kings, who have not yet received a kingdom, but they do receive authority as kings one hour with the wild beast. 

[The national "kings" have a limited sovereign rulership.]

13 These have one thought, and so they give their power and authority to the wild beast.

[The national kings by trying to preserve their sovereignty, have actually sacrificed it all to the wildbeast3. In national power systems governmental authority, financial power and military power are the triad of sovereign power. The nation-states today have allowed globalist technocrats to run their governmental regulatory system for the advantage of globalist financial domination of them and this has aided also by war intrigues, a military system in Global NATO also now in globalist military planner technocratic control. By and large the nation-state has no sovereign power, the irony of the whole thing.]

14 These will battle with the Lamb, but, because he is Lord of lords and King of kings, the Lamb will conquer them. Also, those called and chosen and faithful with him will do so.” 

[This human global sovereign progression is disastrous; compare Rev16:13-16)

15 And he says to me: “The waters that you saw, where the harlot is sitting, mean peoples and crowds and nations and tongues.

16 And the ten horns that you saw, and the wild beast, these will hate the harlot and will make her devastated and naked, and will eat up her fleshy parts and will completely burn her with fire. 

17 For God put it into their hearts to carry out his thought, even to carry out their one thought by giving their kingdom to the wild beast, until the words of God will have been accomplished. 

[The national power compromise into massive debt by politician "kings" "giving their kingdom to the wildbeast", and constant terror and war prodding are for a farther reaching purpose - giving desperation and incentive to pillage global religious institutions globally for trillions in wealth by national powers directed to globalist wealth systems - it is a puppet pillage of Babylon the Great.

18 And the woman whom you saw means the great city that has a kingdom over the kings of the earth.”

[This "woman" is unprotected at fat with wealth. Not hard to see where that will lead soon.]

===

So obviously given the financial condition of the US and EU, and constant war and terror threats this evolution is about to complete to global disasters and great tribulation at some point in this development, made certain by the previous confirmed history of this prophecy from God through Christ in the Revelation. (Rev1:1)

Daniel and Revelation World History in Advance – Roadmap to Armageddon

 

Daniel and Revelation World History in Advance – Roadmap to Armageddon

Why is the book of Daniel so important?

The book of Daniel names names and establishes important dates. Daniel’s prophecy gives Jehovah’s people historic reference to know where we are definitely in the march of world powers to the conclusion indicated in Daniel and the further details in the book of Revelation concerning Armageddon.

Therefore Daniel’s history in advance was written so we can obtain a timeline to Armageddon since Babylon. Daniel starts of in the real-time history of the third world power in bible history, that is the Babylonian kingdom. These world powers are noted in the bible because each one of them had a direct influence on world events of their time in relation to God’s people from the Israel of the Mosaic Covenant to the spiritual “Israel of God” of the New Covenant. (Gal6:15-16)

Biblical World Powers

These world powers of the bible are as follows:

1. Egypt (1943-1513 BCE) – (Head/King/Kingdom 1)

2. Assyria (740 BCE) – (Head/King/Kingdom 2)

3. Babylon (607 BCE) – (Head/King/Kingdom 3)

4. Medo-Persia (537 BCE) – (Head/King/Kingdom 4)

5. Greece (332 BCE) – (Head/King/Kingdom 5)

6. Rome (30 BCE) – (Head/King/Kingdom 6)

7. Anglo-America (UK/US) (1914) – (Head/King/Kingdom 7)

Road Map to God’s Kingdom

This successive progression of rival sovereignties (1-7) also leads to a very important development and place in global history – The mysterious 8th King of Revelation 17:10-11 and the Har-Magedon global situation and “gathering” of nations to the “war of the great day of God the Almighty” prophesied at Revelation 16:13-16; Har-Magedon. As Jesus Christ indicated, referring to Daniel’s prophecy, God has an “appointed time of the nations” which expired as a time God noted would be 7 times, a time period equaling 7 “times/years” of lunar years – 7 times 360 “days”, or 2520 years. (Luke21:24; Dan4:32)

This would be 2520 years of rival demon led human rulership until the rightful King of God, Jesus Christ would be “given the Kingdom”. (Compare Dan2:36-38 with Daniel 4:17 to the finality: Dan7:17-27)

Therefore Daniel explicitly provides a prophetic timeline of world history in advance from Babylon being “given the Kingdom” to the the time “in the days of those kings” when God would “set up” a Kingdom that would crush ALL these rival rulerships permanently and forever. (1Cor15:28; Dan2:44; Rev11:15-18)

Therefore Jesus Christ referred to Daniel as the prophet by name who would “seal” the times leading to these things. (Dan9:24) Those truly coming to see, and believing God’s word is the truth are therefore very interested in exactly where we are in this inevitable “crushing and putting an END to ALL these kingdoms” which God has promised and SWORN will take place through Christ’s Kingdom, the pulverizing striking “stone” of Daniel 2:44.

So how does Daniel’s prophecy aid enlightenment for God’s servants of this dynamic development in reliable world history all the way to today?

Daniel’s Mileposts to the Destination

Daniel’s inspired record provides historic benchmarks with well known times and names of the world powers of Babylon, Medo-Persia and Greece. By this recorded continuum the historical timeline from 607 BCE is now founded with reliably known and well recorded world history – this ties directly into Revelation’s “seven headed wildbeast” world historic continuum repeated there for the prophetic purpose of ascertaining the season of God’s Kingdom final conquest.

This reliable progression of Daniel leads from Babylon to the Roman 6th world power and to the Anglo-American partnership of the United States of America and Britain to form the 7th world power of bible history in this continuum leading to war with God. From the 7th UK/US power system is the foundation and “breath” of the 8th King of bible history the United Nations. (Rev13:11-15; Rev17:3; Rev17:12-18)

Now we know absolutely every “king” in this prophecy:

***(Revelation 17:10-11) ..there are seven kings: five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet arrived, but when he does arrive he must remain a short while. 11 And the wild beast that was but is not, it is also itself an eighth king, but springs from the seven, and it goes off into destruction.

As already noted above we know the seven kings times and identities most definitely. Now the 8th King of the United Nations is also very easy to ascertain from biblical and world history – it is the needed “rack” into which all the national “pool balls” are collected for the big big “break” of God on the Armageddon “pool table”.

Daniel’s World Time Seals

Prophetic Historical Benchmark 1

 

The “Dreadful Image” of Nebuchadnezzar’s Dream

This prophetic and historic symbolic “dreadful image” of Daniel 2 provides a continuum of world powers leading to the destruction of them all, from Babylon to the Anglo-American world power system to remain a “short while”. (Rev17:11); This image starts off with the Babylonian world power “given the kingdom” when it terminated Jerusalem’s line of God’s kings in David’s lineage with the destruction of King Zedekiah and Jerusalem in 607 BCE. There is our benchmark provided by both biblical prophetic history and world history. From that 607 BCE benchmark the “appointed times of the nations”, as Jesus indicated would expire, can be determined (Just add 2520 years to the expiration date of the “appointed times of the gentiles”). This is also why Jesus noted this fact, and the significance of Daniel’s prophecy. (Matt24:15; compare Luke21:24)

Not only does Daniel’s prophecy provide the exact details of the conquest of Jerusalem’s time and the beginning of the “trampling of Jerusalem” by the dethronement of the last Judean King Zedekiah (607 BCE), it also provides the 7 times of 2520 years from 607 BCE that led EXACTLY to the year 1914 in which not only is God’s Kingdom “set up”, but also the Anglo-American 7th world power was officially united for World War 1 also in 1914. Coincidence? From this world power development the basic formation of the the 8th King embryo, the League of  Nations in 1919 is easily traced to the UK/US governmental and global  planners in that system’s founding.

Daniel’s timely benchmark from God is accurate, thousands of years in advance!

Prophetic Historical Benchmark 2

The Four Beasts from the Sea

Daniel chapter seven now goes into further historic detail concerning this continuum of world powers leading to Har-Magedon symbolized in the “dreadful image” of Daniel 2. This is also the first time in the bible that “beasts” are used to symbolize human kingdoms in progressions through history for definite prophetic reference. This prepares God’s people to ascertain the meanings of the wildbeasts of Revelation; (Rev1:1). Revelation’s successive “world powers” are also depicted as predatory “wildbeasts”, and these symbols also contain all of the previously identified world powers of Daniel’s prophecy – as well as Egypt and Assyria. Daniel therefore initiates and ties together all of the bible’s continuum of world power history to Revelation. This continuum of prophecy is divine information leading reliably to the “last days” CONCURRENT with the Kingdom of Christ in it’s heavenly founding and authority (1914) and Armageddon as the global “place” of the “war of the great day of God the Almighty” which that Kingdom will battle at to end “great tribulation. (Rev16:13-16; Rev 19:19-21; Matt24:22; 2Thess1:6)

The “four  huge beasts coming out of the sea” in Daniel, depict the four world powers of Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece and Rome. As with the “feet” of the image of Daniel 2, the Rome beast provides the fundamental base complex of national management and extended empire that the British and American world powers would also capitalize on with extending focus on global imperial domination. The fourth beast of Daniel 7 is rightly described as “different” than the rest.

From these four beasts, the lion-like Babylon (1), the bear-like Medo-Persia (2), the leopard-like Greece (4), and the “different” beast of Rome (4) is easily ascertained in this history from God. Also all of these kingdoms have noted secular histories in the time continuum leading to the final world powers of the 7th and 8th co-existing “kingships” of Revelation 13 and 17. This relates these kingdoms in time perfectly developing into the final scarlet wildbeast as the 8th King (1945), a global conglomeration of all the nations into a world governmental system of Revelation 17:3′s scarlet colored wildbeast; also the “image of the wildbeast” of Revelation13:11-15 the United Nations from the predecessor League of Nations (1919).

The Revelation 13:11 wildbeast with two horns lamb-like in appearance is easily identified now as the UK and US “kings” in the Anglo-American world power officially united in 1914, who engineered, that is “gave breath to” the “image of the wildbeast” which is the United Nations global sovereignty forming now to a maturity in the world scene.

Prophetic Historical Benchmark 3

Kings of the North and South

In Daniel chapter 11 we have the world famous prophetically outlined conflict of the “King of the North” and King of the South” which provides further historic evidence affirming the prophecies timeframe.

Special Note: Please appreciate that Daniel chapter 2′s image is a very simplified symbolic picture leading to the Kingdom of God’s final conquest over an approximate specific time period since 607 BCE. Daniel chapter 7 is a more detailed description of some of the features of Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece and Rome as world powers pictured first in the Daniel 2 “image”. Daniel chapter 11 is an even more detailed description of the power histories that came after Babylon’s fall (539 BCE) leading even to the UK and US world power systems. This ascending prophetic and historic detail is for God’s people to understand without doubt, by three inspired testimonies in Daniel that Revelation’s prophetic continuum to the climax event of divine war is certain and reliable in not just biblical prophecy but backed by world histories in many nations as well since that time to today continuous. So this continuing dynamic prophecy is alive and in process of completing very soon.

Medo-Persian and Greece Named

In Daniel chapter 8, the angel provides two more historic nominal benchmarks to solidly identify all the beasts of Daniel in history. By the direct identification of Babylon, we also have identified and given to Daniel by name the two world powers that would come after Babylon, namely Medo-Persia and Greece. (Dan8:20 (Media and Persia); Dan8:21 (Greece); These identities greatly aid the accuracy of the prophetic significance of Revelation chapter 13′s seven headed wildbeast and exactly where we are “en route” to Armageddon.

Other Interesting Truths Revealed by God through Daniel

Daniel ties history and prophecy directly to Revelation chapter 13 and 17 as seen. Yet also, other truths are also revealed tying all Revelation 13 through 17 together such as the identity of the “holy ones” of Daniel 7:13-27 with the 144000 of Revelation chapter 7 and 14. Daniel also affirms the reality of demon angelic guidance as demon princely influence over these kingdoms as noted in Daniel 10:12,20. This has obvious connection to the demon guidance of the “gathering of the nations” to God’s war at Har-Magedon shown at Rev16:13-16. (Compare with Eph6:12 and Matt12:26) This all originates in guidance from the Satan the seven headed dragon as seen in Revelation chapters 12 and 13, and the “throne of the wildbeast” as the dragon’s authority that Satan gives to world powers. (Rev13:2; Rev 16:10; Luke4:5-8)

Revelation 13 in Light of Daniel Chapters 2, 7, 8, and 11

Since we know Babylon was the third world power of seven world powers identified in the bible for this purpose, Babylon is symbolized in the gold head of the image of Daniel 2 for reference through history back to 607 BCE.  Further we see the lion-like first beast of Daniel chapter 7 is also Babylon (3). Going back in time we can easily identify Assyria (2) and Egypt (1) as the world powers that preceded Babylon (3). By that we have the first three heads of the seven headed wildbeast “from the sea” of Revelation 13:1.   So for the wildbeast of Revelation 13:1, the fourth head is Medo-Persia, the fifth is Greece, the sixth is Rome and the seventh head is the current world power of the United States and Britain’s Anglo-American union.

From this the world government envisioned and engineered by the Anglo-American global elite power system (1914) of this 7th world power is obviously the United Nations (1945) from it’s League of Nations (1919) roots; The 8th King. This is all Satan has and there is no more. We do not have to be prophets to see this road trip to Armageddon is about at the end of the road.

God’s National Road Map to Armageddon

Let us revisit Revelation 17:10-11:

***(Revelation 17:10-11) ..there are seven kings: five have fallen, one is (Rome at the time John wrote Revelation), the other has not yet arrived (UK/US), but when he does arrive he must remain a short while. 11 And the wild beast that was (LON) but is not, it is also itself an eighth king (UN), but springs from the seven, and it goes off into destruction. (Dan2:44)

We see that there is a “short while” for the 7th and 8th Kings. We also logically can see the image of Daniel chapter 2 is terminated by the striking of the “feet of iron and clay” of the image (UK/US), which came after the “legs of iron” which was Rome, that followed the Grecian “belly and thighs” of copper, which followed the Medo-Persian “breast and arms” of silver, which followed Babylon, the “head” of gold. So it is a continuum like a road trip to Armageddon. Revelation concludes the Daniel certainty that this is where these kingdoms ALL are headed in their living and fragmentary existence.

***(Daniel 2:32-35) As regards that image, its head was of good gold (3- Babylon), its breasts and its arms were of silver (4- Medo-Persia), its belly and its thighs were of copper (5- Greece), 33 its legs were of iron (6- Rome), its feet were partly of iron and partly of molded clay (7- UK/US). 34 You kept on looking until a stone was cut out not by hands (Christ’s Kingdom), and it struck the image on its feet of iron and of molded clay and crushed them. 35 At that time (God’s war at Armageddon) the iron, the molded clay, the copper, the silver and the gold were, all together, crushed and became like the chaff from the summer threshing floor, and the wind carried them away so that no trace at all was found of them.

***(Daniel 2:44-45) . . .“And in the days of those (7) kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be brought to ruin. And the kingdom itself will not be passed on to any other people. It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinite; 45 forasmuch as you beheld that out of the mountain a stone was cut not by hands, and that it crushed the iron, the copper, the molded clay, the silver and the gold. The grand God himself has made known to the king what is to occur after this. And the dream is reliable, and the interpretation of it is trustworthy.”

Interestingly, God, in 1914 at the conclusion of the “appointed times of the nations” did “set up” a Kingdom in heaven prior to the first rise of the 8th King League of Nations in 1919. So “in the days of those [seven] kings” this Kingdom has come to pass as prophesied. It is also recognized by Jehovah’s people as the “great sign seen in heaven” at the Kingdom birth of Revelation 12, and as the “Kingdom of the World” passing to Jesus Christ and Jehovah’s Kingly Authority of that Kingdom of Christ at Revelation 11:15-18. This has and will also continue to be marked by Satan’s “woe to the earth” of Revelation 12:12 as Satan continues to intensify the human “woe” to “great tribulation”.

Interestingly as well, Revelation 12′s Kingdom founding event of “now have come to pass the authority of God’s Christ” resulted in Satan being removed from heaven, and hurled to earth. In like manner he will also be removed from earth and hurled into the abyss (Rev20:1-3) as the final stage of God’s Kingdom takes earth as noted in the Revelation 11:15-18 grand sequence of final conquest:

***(Revelation 11:15-18) . . .And the seventh angel blew his trumpet. And loud voices occurred in heaven, saying: “The kingdom of the world did become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he will rule as king forever and ever.” 16 And the twenty-four elders who were seated before God upon their thrones fell upon their faces and worshiped God, 17 saying: “We thank you, Jehovah God, the Almighty, the One who is and who was, because you have taken your great power and begun ruling as king. 18 But the nations became wrathful, and your own wrath came, and the appointed time for the dead to be judged, and to give their reward to your slaves the prophets and to the holy ones and to those fearing your name, the small and the great, and to bring to ruin those ruining the earth.”

Is it any wonder the nations become wrathful with this kind of guidance?

***(Revelation 12:10-12) And I heard a loud voice in heaven say: “Now have come to pass the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ, BECAUSE the accuser of our brothers has been hurled down… 12 On this account be glad, YOU heavens and YOU who reside in them! Woe for the earth and for the sea, because the Devil has come down to YOU, having great anger, knowing he has a SHORT PERIOD OF TIME.”

We easily see Satan is also wrathful, also has a “short period” of time, as does his 7th and 8th Kings of rival sovereigns on planet earth. It is also no wonder that from these grand developments in heaven, affecting earth with “woe” from Satan and the demons, we also have the final “gathering” of the nations by demons into opposition against this Kingdom of God progressing today:

***(Revelation 16:13-16) And I saw three unclean inspired expressions… come out of the mouth of the dragon… wild beast and… false prophet. 14 They are… expressions inspired by demons and perform signs, and they go forth to the kings of the entire inhabited earth, to gather them together to the war of the great day of God the Almighty…. 16 And they gathered them together to the place that is called in Hebrew Har–Magedon.

Location Location Location

And now we know the final destination of this continuum for Adamic and demon guided human kingdoms. The whole “dreadful image” itself, of Daniel 2, is a sampling of the “united gathering” of all these kingdoms in one “dreadful image” from the third “king” onward. This is obvious and also seen in the fact that the one “scarlet wildbeast” is also the 8th King, a whole “King” composed of all the global national parts of the rebellious “world” symbolized in this progression of seven world powers from Egypt (1) to the Anglo-American world power (7) all part of the scarlet wildbeast comprising the 8th world power; a global sovereign system of all nations (8). These are symbols of massive international collective, a very related uniting development overall in “image”, with the same ingredients, same purpose, and same destiny; destruction by God’s Kingdom.

We also now can see where the “dreadful image” of Daniel is located, where it’s feet are ACTUALLY standing when the “stone” strikes it, it’s “place” is Armageddon. Note also in Joel this “place” is also revealed as the great “global bullseye” of God’s holy angels who confront a “kingdom collective” also seen as a full “gathering of the nations” to this particular “location”, a worldwide global “place”, a “situation” of divine final “war of the great day of God the Almighty”:

***(Joel 3:9-12) 9 “Proclaim this, YOU people, among the nations, ‘Sanctify war! Arouse the powerful men! Let them draw near! Let them come up, all the men of war! 10 Beat YOUR plowshares into swords and YOUR pruning shears into lances. As for the weak one, let him say: “I am a powerful man.” 11 Lend YOUR aid and come, all YOU nations round about, and COLLECT YOURSELVES TOGETHER.’”

TO THAT PLACE, O Jehovah, bring your powerful ones down.

12 “Let the nations be aroused and come up to the low plain of Jehoshaphat; for there I shall sit in order to judge ALL the nations round about.

Rack ‘Em Up!

It appears as if this “racking of the nations” like so many pool balls and bowling pins is also a theme revisited again and again in the bible as regards mankind’s rebel national consolidation into a one governmental world rulership attempt at the time God’s Kingdom defines super-power universally for these clay pots:

***(Zephaniah 3:8) Therefore keep yourselves in expectation of me, is the utterance of Jehovah, ‘till the day of my rising up to [the] prey, for my judicial decision is to GATHER NATIONS, for me to COLLECT TOGETHER KINGDOMS, in order to pour out upon them my denunciation, all my burning anger; for by the fire of my zeal ALL THE EARTH will be devoured.

***(Zechariah 14:2-5) And I shall certainly GATHER ALL THE NATIONS against Jerusalem for the war… And Jehovah my God will certainly come, ALL THE HOLY ONES being with him.

***(Zechariah 12:8-9) In that day Jehovah will be a defense around the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and the one that is stumbling among them must become in that day like David, and the house of David like God, like Jehovah’s angel before them. 9 And it must occur in that day that I shall seek to annihilate ALL THE NATIONS that are coming against Jerusalem.

***(Psalm 2:1-2) Why have the nations been in tumult And the national groups themselves kept muttering an empty thing?  2 The kings of earth take their stand And high officials themselves have MASSED TOGETHER AS ONE Against Jehovah and against his anointed one..

Is this just all a strange coincidence of events?

No. This is the well traced end of the world of rival sovereignties opposed to God’s Kingdom. We are for God’s Kingdom, or we are temporary:

***(1 John 2:15-17) Do not be loving either the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him; 16 because everything in the world—the desire of the flesh and the desire of the eyes and the showy display of one’s means of life—does not originate with the Father, but originates with the world. 17 Furthermore, the world is passing away and so is its desire, but he that does the will of God remains forever.

***(Revelation 14:9-12) . . .And another angel, a third, followed them, saying in a loud voice: “If anyone worships the wild beast and its image, and receives a mark on his forehead or upon his hand, 10 he will also drink of the wine of the anger of God that is poured out undiluted into the cup of his wrath… they have no rest, those who worship the wild beast and its image, and whoever receives the mark of its name. 12 Here is where it means endurance for the holy ones, those who observe the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.”

***(Revelation 19:19-21) . . .And I saw the wild beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to wage the war with the one seated on the horse and with his army. 20 And the wild beast was caught, and along with it the false prophet that performed in front of it the signs with which he misled those who received the mark of the wild beast and those who render worship to its image. While still alive, they both were hurled into the fiery lake that burns with sulphur. 21 But the rest were killed off with the long sword of the one seated on the horse, which [sword] proceeded out of his mouth. And all the birds were filled from the fleshy parts of them.

Twelve Tribes of Heaven and Earth in the Bible Truth Picture

===
Let’s stop the WT’s rhetoric of reasoning. I gave you the unadulterated scriptures which proves that your “governing body” was in gross error about the new covenant, the 144,000 alleged anointed ones, and the small flock.
Please provide just one single example from the scriptures where the O.T. covenant can be shown to only be applied to the Levitical priesthood or any other small group whom the Watchtower authority has deem worthy of being apart of the 144,000 body of Christ(sic) and only covered by the new covenant?
Is it really worthy getting this much embarassment for some lousy “active witnessing hours”?.

Twelve Tribes of Heaven and Earth in the Bible Truth Picture

So we see Jehovah is NOT topical and simpleton like the churches, who add sideline complication, rather than progress with the actuality of the depth of God. We see that the “Twelve Tribe” symbol has a heavenly Bride significance, that will extending INTO the “Twelve Tribes” earthly counterpart as those “tribes” of the whole human race, are brought out of Adam, into Jesus Christ’s physical and spiritual perfection as the man; Last Adam Eternal Father. The 12 Tribes of Heaven’s 144000 12×12000 will be the extension’s of Christ perfection to literally, “take the sin of the world away”. Adam is the foremost “member”, he IS that sin that must betaken away – forgiveness itself is NOT enough to “cure” mankind as in Rev221-3, the “healing of the nations”, an EARTHLY human terminology that we understand are the “12 Tribes” of earth – far beyond the constraints of the faithless Jewish fleshly terminal death family, they are limited, and now cast away. (All prophesied long before their final criminal acts as a “nation”.)

The Twelve Tribes of earth are to be Re-Created* (Matt 19:28)

Well the ” ReGenesis*” picture is simple, let’s cover this “12 Tribes”:

(Matthew 19:28) In the re-creation, when the Son of man sits down upon his glorious throne, YOU who have followed me will also yourselves sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

Now obviously the 144000 on Mount Zion WITH the lamb, and the 12×12000 of Revelation are NOT the 12 tribes which are being “judged”, they are NOT subject to the “second death” (eternal destruction) which humans are. (Rev2:11; Rev20:6)

That is just plain logical – as it is also foregleamed in the Israel typical Atonement Day arrangement as well, even the sacrifices of the bull and rams are for a greater purpose in this greater meaning.

Jesus is the “Jew” Last Adam

And as Jesus Christ is the ” Jew” Last Adam, though a man NOT limited to fleshly Jew limitations, he being the “second man” out of heaven, he must fulfill the grand meaning of “Last Adam” – and “see his offspring” (Isa53:10). That is, whether the “Jews” like it or not, Jesus Christ is the “Leader of the Covenant” who is the Master Father of the “12 Tribes” to be restored back to Abel, A MUCH GREATER PICTURE THAN ISRAEL IN THE FLESH. And incidentally, Jesus did ALL this legally by perfect performance, in fact he received “undeserved hatred” and curse to secure these rights as promised, sworn and contracted by the Almighty God. Jesus is the irreversible heir of everything now, including the eternal earth system, life, creation and mankind. He is the becoming of the “Eternal Purpose” of Jehovah, to the “founding of the world”, even before it, because this as ALL being RE-founded into Christ Last Adam. “All things made new” Big time!!

2/7

Fleshly Israel is NOT the End All

And rightly so that Israel is a far cry from the ultimate meaning, Israel is just a shadow, NOT the end all, Israel was “cast away” so that the nations may now be collected into a far far far bigger picture than one national people in sin, who broke the covenant. (Israel in the flesh is “received again” in the 1000 year reign by resurrection; (Eom11:15)) These things are now “new creation”, a “people once not a people”, the heavenly destined “Israel of God” which racial and religious Jews of earth are no more valid than any other Babylon the Great faction. They are stagnant in a past that is “near to vanishing away” (Heb8:13). (1Pet2:10;  Gal6:16)

Twelve Tribe “Bride” Class

So for great divine reasons, the 12 Tribes of the 144000 “Bride”, must interact with Jesus Isa9′s Eternal Father to produce “offspring” -  A RECREATED IN LAST ADAM HUMAN RACE (“12 Tribes” at the “entrance” as pictured in typical DoA – the ram blood covered “sheep”), easy to see the heavenly Bride WILL NOT BE A BARREN WOMAN, and Jesus the “Bull Blood” will be far from an impotent sterile Eternal Father. [1_PS45](See end section)

Earthly Twelve Tribe “Illegitimate” Children

So let’s cover the future children of the paradise re-creation, these are currently in Adamic Satanic corrupted by sin “image of God” has been lost (illegitimate “children” of Adam at present”) – Then we will discuss the “Bride” and Eternal Father 144001, with Jesus as spiritual Israel’s main heir, the Father being Jehovah – but for now here are the”12 Tribes” of earth’s “re-creation”:

*** w08 1/15 p. 30 Highlights From the Book of Matthew

19:28—What is represented by “the twelve tribes of Israel” that will be judged? They do not represent the 12 tribes of spiritual Israel. (Gal. 6:16; Rev. 7:4-8) The apostles to whom Jesus was speaking were going to be part of spiritual Israel, not judges of its members. Jesus made ‘a covenant with them for a kingdom,’ and they were to be ‘a kingdom and priests to God.’ (Luke 22:28-30; Rev. 5:10) Those of spiritual Israel are to “judge the world.” (1 Cor. 6:2) Hence, “the twelve tribes of Israel,” whom those on the heavenly thrones judge, evidently represent the world of mankind who are outside that royal, priestly class, as pictured by the 12 tribes on Atonement Day.—Lev., chap. 16.

*** w68 7/1 p. 394 par. 4 Part 1—Empowering a Priesthood for Effectual Service

The assembly congregated at the entrance. ([Lev8 8] Vs. 3) “And make all the assembly congregate at the entrance of the tent of meeting.” The assembly of all those nonpriestly tribes points to a multitude out of all nations that must in due time be assembled and instructed as to the opportunities and requirements for life. Such gathered ones correspond to “the twelve tribes of Israel” over whom the heavenly priesthood under Christ Jesus is destined to rule. (Matt. 19:28) In modern fulfillment we have observed, particularly from and after the year 1935, the assembly of a great crowd of Jehovah’s earthly “sheep” who are vitally interested in his provision for their eventual reconciliation with him.

*** w09 8/1 p. 22 About Mankind’s Future

Jesus said: “In the re-creation, when the Son of man sits down upon his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also yourselves sit upon twelve thrones.” (Matthew 19:28) The rule by Jesus and his followers will result in “the re-creation,” or renewal, of the perfect conditions that the first human couple enjoyed on earth before they sinned.

3/7

*** w09 8/15 p. 8 Everlasting Life on Earth—A Christian Hope?

Everlasting Life “in the Re-Creation”

4 The Bible teaches that anointed Christians will be resurrected to rule over the earth from heaven. (Luke 12:32; Rev. 5:9, 10; 14:1-3) When Jesus spoke about everlasting life, however, he did not always have only that group in mind. Consider what he said to his disciples after the rich young man turned away grieved at the invitation to leave all his belongings behind and become a follower of Christ. (Read Matthew 19:28, 29.) Jesus told his apostles that they would be among those who would rule as kings and judge “the twelve tribes of Israel,” that is, the world of mankind outside that heavenly ruling class. (1 Cor. 6:2) He also spoke of a reward for “everyone” who follows him. Such individuals too “will inherit everlasting life.” All of this is to take place “in the re-creation.”

5 What did Jesus mean by “the re-creation”? The term is translated “the new world” in The Bible—An American Translation. It is rendered “when all is made new” in The Jerusalem Bible and “the renewal of all things” in The Holy Bible—New International Version. Since Jesus used the term without explanation, he evidently referred to what had been the Jewish hope for centuries. There was to be a re-creation of conditions on earth, so that things would be as they were in the garden of Eden before Adam and Eve sinned. The re-creation will fulfill God’s promise of “creating new heavens and a new earth.”—Isa. 65:17

So this is a far grander story than the simpleton error of SDA Creed 27, and all the demon inspired utterance that led Ellen White to that error, she has been compromised, and her “fruitage” reveals the source of her leaven was far more than just human error.

[1_PS45]

Now let’s look at reality of the true Bride Class:

 

*** re chap. 42 pp. 301-304 pars. 3-9 A New Heaven and a New Earth ***

John continues: “I saw also the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God and prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.” (Revelation 21:2) New Jerusalem is the bride of Christ, made up of the anointed Christians who remain faithful to death and who are raised to become kings and priests with the glorified Jesus. (Revelation 3:12; 20:6) Just as earthly Jerusalem became the seat of government in ancient Israel, the magnificent New Jerusalem and her Bridegroom make up the government of the new system of things. This is the new heaven. The ‘bride comes down out of heaven,’ not literally, but in the sense of directing attention to the earth. The Lamb’s bride is to be his loyal helpmeet in operating a righteous government over all mankind. A blessing indeed for the new earth!

4 John tells us further: “With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: ‘Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his peoples. And God himself will be with them.’” (Revelation 21:3) When Jehovah made the Law covenant with the then new nation of Israel, he promised: “I shall certainly put my tabernacle in the midst of you, and my soul will not abhor you. And I shall indeed walk in the midst of you and prove myself your God, and you, on your part, will prove yourselves my people.” (Leviticus 26:11, 12) Now Jehovah is making a similar promise to faithful humans. During the thousand-year Judgment Day, they will become a very special people to him.

5 During the Millennial Reign, Jehovah will “reside” among mankind in a temporary arrangement, he being represented by his royal Son, Jesus Christ. At the end of the Thousand Year Reign, however, when Jesus hands the Kingdom over to his Father, no royal representative or intercessor will be needed. Jehovah will reside spiritually with “his peoples” in a permanent and direct way. (Compare John 4:23, 24.) What a lofty privilege for restored humanity!

4/7

6 John goes on to say: “And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” (Revelation 21:4) Once again, we are reminded of earlier inspired promises. Isaiah also looked forward to the time when death and mourning would be no more and grief would be replaced by exultation. (Isaiah 25:8; 35:10; 51:11; 65:19) John now confirms that these promises have a wonderful fulfillment during the thousand-year Judgment Day. First the great crowd will enjoy the blessings. “The Lamb, who is in the midst of the throne,” continuing to shepherd them, “will guide them to fountains of waters of life. And God will wipe out every tear from their eyes.” (Revelation 7:9, 17) But eventually all those who are resurrected and exercise faith in Jehovah’s provisions will be there with them, enjoying a paradise that is both spiritual and physical.

7 “At that time,” says Isaiah, “the eyes of the blind ones will be opened, and the very ears of the deaf ones will be unstopped.” Yes, “at that time the lame one will climb up just as a stag does, and the tongue of the speechless one will cry out in gladness.” (Isaiah 35:5, 6) At that time, too, “they will certainly build houses and have occupancy; and they will certainly plant vineyards and eat their fruitage. They will not build and someone else have occupancy; they will not plant and someone else do the eating. For like the days of a tree will the days of my people be; and the work of their own hands my chosen ones will use to the full.” (Isaiah 65:21, 22) So they will not be uprooted from the earth.

8 What magnificent foregleams fill our minds as we meditate on these promises! Wondrous provisions are in store for faithful mankind under heaven’s loving government. Are such promises too good to be true? Are they just the dreams of an old man exiled on the island of Patmos? Jehovah himself answers: “And the One seated on the throne said: ‘Look! I am making all things new.’ Also, he says: ‘Write, because these words are faithful and true.’ And he said to me: ‘They have come to pass! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end.’”—Revelation 21:5, 6a.

9 It is as though Jehovah himself were signing for faithful mankind a guarantee, or title deed, to these future blessings. Who would dare question such a Guarantor? Why, so certain are these promises of Jehovah that he speaks as though they were already fulfilled: “They have come to pass!” Is not Jehovah “the Alpha and the Omega . . . , the One who is and who was and who is coming, the Almighty”? (Revelation 1:8) Indeed he is! He himself declares: “I am the first and I am the last, and besides me there is no God.” (Isaiah 44:6) As such, he can inspire prophecies and fulfill them in every detail. How faith strengthening! So he promises: “Look! I am making all things new”! Rather than questioning whether these marvels will really happen, surely we should be wondering: ‘What do I personally have to do to inherit such blessings?’

*** re chap. 43 pp. 310-312 The Resplendent City ***

The River of Water of Life

19 The resplendent New Jerusalem will channel grand blessings to humankind on earth. This is what John next learns: “And he showed me a river of water of life, clear as crystal, flowing out from the throne of God and of the Lamb down the middle of its broad way.” (Revelation 22:1, 2a) When does this “river” flow? Since it flows “out from the throne of God and of the Lamb,” it could only be after the Lord’s day began in 1914.

5/7

That was the time for the event heralded by the blowing of the seventh trumpet and the grand announcement: “Now have come to pass the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ.” (Revelation 11:15; 12:10) During the time of the end, the spirit and the bride have been inviting rightly disposed ones to take life’s water free. Water from this river will continue to be available to such ones right up to the end of this system of things and, thereafter, on into the new world, when New Jerusalem ‘comes down out of heaven from God.’—Revelation 21:2.

20 This is not the first time that life-giving water has been offered to mankind. When he was on earth, Jesus spoke of water that imparted everlasting life. (John 4:10-14; 7:37, 38) Further, John is about to hear the loving invitation: “The spirit and the bride keep on saying: ‘Come!’ And let anyone hearing say: ‘Come!’ And let anyone thirsting come; let anyone that wishes take life’s water free.” (Revelation 22:17)This invitation is being sounded even now, indicating that a measure of water of life is already available. But in the new world, those waters will flow from God’s throne and through New Jerusalem as a veritable river.

21 What is this “river of water of life”? Literal water is a vital element for life. Without food a man can survive for a number of weeks, but without water he will die in about one week. Water is also a cleansing agent and vital for health. Thus, the water of life must represent something essential for the life and health of mankind. The prophet Ezekiel was also granted a vision of this “river of water of life,” and in his vision, the river flowed out from the temple and down into the Dead Sea. Then, miracle of miracles! That lifeless, chemically saturated body of water was converted into freshwater teeming with fish! (Ezekiel 47:1-12) Yes, the visionary river brings back to life something that was previously dead, confirming that the river of water of life pictures God’s provision through Jesus Christ for restoring perfect human life to the “dead” human race. This river is “clear as crystal,” showing the purity and holiness of God’s provisions. It is not like the bloodstained, death-dealing “waters” of Christendom.—Revelation 8:10, 11.

22 The river originates at “the throne of God and of the Lamb.” This is appropriate, since the basis of Jehovah’s life-giving provisions is the ransom sacrifice, and this was provided because Jehovah “loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son, in order that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16) The water of life also involves God’s Word, which is spoken of as water in the Bible. (Ephesians 5:26) However, the river of water of life includes not only the truth but also every other provision of Jehovah, based on Jesus’ sacrifice, for recovering obedient humans from sin and death and granting them everlasting life.—John 1:29; 1 John 2:1, 2.

23 During the Thousand Year Reign, the benefits of the ransom are applied fully through the priesthood of Jesus and his 144,000 underpriests. Fittingly, then, the river of water of life flows through the middle of the broad way of New Jerusalem. This is composed of spiritual Israel, which along with Jesus makes up the true seed of Abraham. (Galatians 3:16, 29) Therefore, when the water of life flows in abundance through the middle of the broad way of the symbolic city, “all nations of the earth” will have full opportunity to bless themselves by means of Abraham’s seed. Jehovah’s promise to Abraham will be completely fulfilled.—Genesis 22:17, 18.

The Lamb’s Marriage Is at Hand!

11 “You woman enemy of mine”! That is how Jerusalem, the location of Jehovah’s temple of worship, addressed idolatrous Babylon. (Micah 7:8) Likewise, “the holy city, New Jerusalem,” made up of the bride of 144,000 members, has had every reason to address Babylon the Great as her enemy. (Revelation 21:2) But at last the great harlot has suffered adversity, calamity, and ruin. Her spiritistic practices and astrologers have been unable to save her. (Compare Isaiah 47:1, 11-13.) A major victory, indeed, for true worship!

12 With the disgusting harlot, Babylon the Great, gone forever, attention can now be focused on the virgin-pure bride of the Lamb! Hence, the heavenly throngs sing exultantly in praise of Jehovah: “Let us rejoice and be overjoyed, and let us give him the glory, because the marriage of the Lamb has arrived and his wife has prepared herself. Yes, it has been granted to her to be arrayed in bright, clean, fine linen, for the fine linen stands for the righteous acts of the holy ones.”—Revelation 19:7, 8.

13 Down through the centuries, Jesus has made loving preparation for this celestial marriage. (Matthew 28:20; 2 Corinthians 11:2) He has been cleansing the 144,000 of spiritual Israel so that “he might present the congregation to himself in its splendor, not having a spot or a wrinkle or any of such things, but that it should be holy and without blemish.” (Ephesians 5:25-27) With a view to attaining to “the prize of the upward call of God,” each anointed Christian has had to strip off the old personality with its practices, put on the new Christian personality, and perform righteous acts “whole-souled as to Jehovah.”—Philippians 3:8, 13, 14; Colossians 3:9, 10, 23.

14 From Pentecost 33 C.E. on, Satan used Babylon the Great as his tool in trying to contaminate the prospective members of the Lamb’s wife. By the end of the first century, he had sown seeds of Babylonish religion in the congregation. (1 Corinthians 15:12; 2 Timothy 2:18; Revelation 2:6, 14, 20) The apostle Paul describes those who were subverting the faith in these words: “For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for Satan himself keeps transforming himself into an angel of light.” (2 Corinthians 11:13, 14) In succeeding centuries, apostate Christendom, like the rest of Babylon the Great, dressed herself in the clothing of wealth and privilege, “purple and scarlet, . . . gold and precious stone and pearls.” (Revelation 17:4) Her clergy and popes consorted with bloodthirsty emperors, such as Constantine and Charlemagne. She was never arrayed in “the righteous acts of the holy ones.” As a counterfeit bride, she was truly a masterpiece of satanic deception. At last, she is gone forever!

The Lamb’s Wife Has Prepared Herself

15 So now, after almost 2,000 years, all 144,000 of the bride class have made themselves ready. But at what point of time may it be said that ‘the Lamb’s wife has prepared herself’? Progressively, from Pentecost 33 C.E. on, believing anointed ones “were sealed with the promised holy spirit,” this in view of a coming “day of releasing by ransom.” As the apostle Paul expressed it, God “has also put his seal upon us and has given us the token of what is to come, that is, the spirit, in our hearts.” (Ephesians 1:13; 4:30; 2 Corinthians 1:22) Each anointed Christian is “called and chosen,” and he has proved himself “faithful.”—Revelation 17:14.

7/7

16 After decades of testing, Paul himself could declare: “I have fought the fine fight, I have run the course to the finish, I have observed the faith. From this time on there is reserved for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give me as a reward in that day, yet not only to me, but also to all those who have loved his manifestation.” (2 Timothy 4:7, 8) The apostle’s sealing appears to have been complete, even though he was still in the flesh and would yet face martyrdom. Similarly, the time must come when all remaining ones on earth of the 144,000 will have been sealed individually as belonging to Jehovah. (2 Timothy 2:19) This will be when the Lamb’s wife will have fully prepared herself—the great majority of the 144,000 having already received their heavenly reward and those still on earth having been finally approved and sealed as faithful ones.

17 At this point in Jehovah’s timetable, when the sealing of the 144,000 has reached completion, the angels release the four winds of the great tribulation. (Revelation 7:1-3) First, judgment is executed on harlotlike Babylon the Great. The victorious Christ next moves on quickly to Armageddon to destroy the rest of Satan’s organization on earth and, finally, to abyss Satan and his demons. (Revelation 19:11–20:3) If any anointed ones still survive on earth, they will doubtless enter into their heavenly reward soon after Christ completes his conquest and will join their fellow members of the bride class. Then, at God’s due time, the marriage of the Lamb can take place!

18 The prophetic account in Psalm 45 describes the order of events. First the enthroned King rides forth to the conquest of his enemies. (Verses 1-7) Then the marriage is performed, the heavenly bride being attended on earth by her virgin companions, the great crowd. (Verses 8-15) Next the marriage becomes fruitful, with resurrected mankind being raised to perfection under oversight of “princes in all the earth.” (Verses 16, 17) What glorious blessings accompany the marriage of the Lamb!

So Just that “Bride/Twelve Tribe” “sub-theology” of Jehovah’s witnesses is in itself deeper than the WHOLE SDA so-called “theology”. These things have opened very fully by even 1925, and continued to open up to a completeness even by 1940, that is pretty much the “big picture” Jehovah’s witnesses have had for a good 70 years of consistently growing “eternal truth”, a massive truth to say the least, for those realizing this among the “The virgins in her train” of Psalm 45:14-15 as potential “great crowd” of the “They will be brought with rejoicing and joyfulness; They will enter into the palace of the king” deliverance of Rev7:9-17, today’s Jehovah’s Christian witnesses.

 

Our truth is alive from God through Jesus Christ. (Rev1:1)

Blood of Christ; 4 Features: 2 Objectives – Forgiveness and Perfection

Jesus Christ offered a complete sacrifice to God (The Lamb of God) (John1:29). The “Lamb” aspect was for the priesthood established legally into covenant with God, the Greatest Passover (Luke22:28-30). Jesus Christ’s blood sacrifice provides forgiveness of sins to these in that covenant and all mankind in faith (1Tim2:6), and even humans in ignorance and ignorant unrighteousness; (Acts17:30; John5:28-29) Jesus Christ by ransom sacrifice has purchased the whole world of mankind which sprung through Adam, back to Abel. (1John2:2)

By the comprehensive sacrifice Jesus Christ is able to deliver a people into a new covenant for a kingdom and priesthood in his power, for forgiveness of sins, and the immortal rebirth completed adoption of the 144000 as God’s children (John1), co-heirs with Christ their brother (Heb1-2). By this Kingdom arrangement all of mankind can also benefit from the value and power in this sacrifice (Rev20-22; Heb2:14). The blood of Jesus Christ provides a 1000 year timeframe to also allow the “sin of the world to be taken away”. (1Cor15:20-28)

That means it is more than just forgiveness but the first true opportunity for human beings to achieve physical and spiritual perfection on earth, and have everlasting life in paradise Eden restored to mankind, God’s unchangeable will for earth. (Gen3:15; Ps2:8; Ps133; Rev21:3-4)

Jesus Christ is pictured in the nation of Israel’s similar covenant relationship with Jehovah (Heb10:1; 8:5). It ALL started with the Passover Lamb Blood sacrificial gift to Jehovah (Ex12:11-12), which from then on became a memorial of this provision. (Num28:16; Luke22:19)

The Features of Christ’s Blood Pictured in Israel

1. The Passover Sacrifice 1 Feature

A. Jesus Christ is a gift to God from and for God’s purpose first (Passover Lamb; 1Cor5:7) (Eph1-3)  that Jesus Christ provides, as God provided him life gift before all things. God can now extend that perfect sacrificial gift to mankind in whose form Jesus Christ perfectly maintained as human Last Adam. (Heb4:15; Heb5:7; Heb2:14)

B. That aspect of the blood is a deliverance of a people to Jehovah, just as the Passover blood of the lamb in Israel’s time delivered by angelic Michael (Isa63:9) a people to Jehovah out of Egypt. (Ex19:4-6)

2. The Covenant Inauguration and Validation Sacrifice 2 Feature 

A. Jesus Christ blood validated the covenant for real, after the emblematic partaking of his Passover with the 11 inaugurated the arrangement. (Luke22:28-30) Like Moses sacrificing the second sacrifice of blood to sprinkle on the altar, testimony and people, Jesus blood binds the agreement with the 144000. (Ex24:1-8; Heb9:19)

B. Having made the covenant active and in force, Jesus Christ also empowers the invalidation of the former covenant; He retains ALL the rights agreed upon by Jehovah in the Mosaic covenant namely kingdom and priesthood. (Heb9:15; 12:24; 8:6; 10:19-22)

3. The Priestly Empowerment Sacrifice 3 Feature (Ex28-29; Lev8)

A. A feature of the priestly installation in Israel shows Christ’s blood empowers his official priests into the provisions of the live covenant arrangement as priests recognized by Jehovah, and officially empowered into his priestly services under the High Priest Jesus Christ.(Heb3-10)

B. This instituted the Aaronic priesthood in the tribe if Levi who provide priestly support services. (Hum3:5-10) The 144000 picture the completed priesthood in immortality of the “life giving spirit” of Jesus Christ’s empowerment as High Priest from God. (Heb7:15-17)

4. The Atonement Day Sacrifice 4 Feature

A. Jesus Christ’s blood is now in empowerment as to it’s value as a ransom sacrifice for forgiveness of sins by repentance in God’s purpose. (Heb9:11-22)

B. Christ’s blood pictured in Israel’s Atonement day, officially covers his priests as pictured in Israel by the bull sacrifice, and for the people of the earthly priesthoods coming mediation to God for the forgiveness of sins leading to the perfecting of the human race; pictured in the Atonement Day arrangement by the two goats, the goat for the people, and the goat to Azazel. (Lev16)

C. Repentance is what grants forgiveness by this blood at this time (Luke24:47) as the prelude to full empowerment to come in the 1000 year reign. In the 1000 year reign, when global Adam has expired in unrepentant mankind at Armageddon’s battle (Rev14:17-20; 2Thes1:6-10). After this the full beneficial provisions of this High Priest, his blood sacrificial value, and his priesthood over all mankind will be directly in complete authority and power with no dissenting rival sovereignties in demons of unrepentant mankind for 1000 years of restoration. (Matt19:28)

Final Harvest of the Lord’s Day

The “Great Crowd” is the final living ingathering to be delivered by this blood out of this world through great tribulation and Armageddon’s war with God (Rev7:7-17; Rev14:15-16). This are the final harvest in this last days age as living sheep, delivered to Jehovah and his King by the conquering Kingdom of God (Rev19:19-21). So like in Israel, the “blood of the lamb” is a passing over of the destruction of Jehovah’s Kingdom immortal and angelic forces that will destroy global Egypt to the last man as rival sovereignty is terminated before God, in earth, and in demon heavens. (Rev7:7-17; Joel3:9-17; Zech12:7-14; 14:1-9)

At this time the sacrificial comprehensiveness and life-power of Jesus Christ’s sacrificial whole soul; life, body, blood and perfect human “image of God” nature, in full, will be made available to mankind as humans all the way back to Abel. (Rev21-22 completes Gen1:27-28 as in 1Cor15:24-28; Heb2:14)

Millennial Harvest of the Dead

Death, Hades and the “Sea” will be emptied in resurrection by Jesus Christ, to fill the earth; Judgement 1000 year day (Rev1:18; Rev20:11-14). The “Great Crowd” will be the cornerstone of the “new earth” being led to “waters of life” (Rev7:17) which by Rev 22:1-3, is a global river of the waters of life. (John 4:14-15;Isaiah 35:5-6) From this final harvest from the dead in the 1000 year reign, the world will be brought into a full salvation and everlasting life, the FIRST real opportunity at true human perfection and sinlessness prior to Satan’s release from abyss after the 1000 year reign.

1. Forgiveness of Sins

This blood will provide deliverance from the condemnation of Adam for forgiveness of sins for those continuing in repentance, (Heb5:9-10) and those continuing in it and attaining it from the resurrections of the righteous and the unrighteous respectively. (John12:31-32; Rev11:15-18)

2. Human Perfecting

The whole body perfect sacrifice of Last Adam Jesus Christ provides also the true delivery out of Adamic corrupted human being, into Last Adamic perfection of Jesus Christ as the man. (1Cor15:22; Rom5:14-21; Rev21-22; Gen1:27-28; Ps2:8; Ps133)

=======

Summary

So the whole man Jesus Christ as “new creation” and as “new man” for human beings in Last Adam will, by that perfect human sacrifice given to Jehovah God on man’s behalf, truly be a comprehensive “all things made new” in ways of the Eternal God Jehovah. These promises f God to become true everlasting realities in his “Eternal Purpose” in Christ Jesus (Eph1-3), cannot be reversed, never could they be, never will they be anything but the truth of what is coming. By this provisional replacement of the “sin of the world” in the dead father Adam, Jesus Christ will take that corruption away as mankind’s God given new Eternal Father. (Isa9; Isa11; Isa53; Psalem45)

7th Day: Then There was Morning

But for now the basic complete picture has emerged. (2Pet1:19-20; 1Pet1:11-12; Heb11:13-14)

The blood has 4 blood features which provided this life-power perfection hope for mankind and earthly creation working in the biblically foregleamed process since Genesis 3:15. The blood of Christ provides deliverance, validates a new covenant for God’s Kingdom purpose, empowers a priesthood of 144000 king-priests under Jesus Christ the “Leader of the Covenant”, and provides a legal basis by which forgiveness of sins can be achieved for both the 144000 and all mankind. This allows Christ the ‘Eternal father’ of restored mankind, and the 144000 ‘Bride’ to bring humanity into true physical and spiritual sinless perfection, and restore Jehovah’s overall Father relationship with mankind which Adam lost by Satan’s lie. All rival enemies including Satan, sin and death will be destroyed forever. (Gen3:14-17; Rev21:1-5; Ps110; 1Cor14:24-28; Rev20:10; Heb2:14; Rev20-22)

Jesus Christ’s full person sacrifice as perfected human being allows deliverance from Adamic former man, forgiveness of mankind leading to full perfect restoration of man, and all creation restoring the fullness of God’s image in man, and the cascading blessing to all life and creation on earth. (Rom 8:18-25; Matt19:28; Gen1:27-28) Perfected; (Heb2:10; Heb5:9; Heb7:28; Heb11:40)

This is the promise of Almighty God, it cannot be overcome by evil challengers.

(Isa45:22-24; Isa65:17-19; Hab2:9-12; Ps72; Gen22; Gal3:22-29)

Universal Chess with Jehovah

Jehovah Teaches Chess!?!!

Part 1/8

Universal Chess with Jehovah

The “chess game” of Universal Sovereignty started in Eden; Satan started the game, Adam played as well and his offspring continue the “chess match”. (Genesis 3:1-17)

Now we know from aeons past Jehovah is the “King” of his “chessboard” – a super-universal domain. (Psalm 83:18).

But in Eden, a ‘rival set of kings’ have usurped Jehovah’s universal sovereignty, and his earthly sovereign kingship; illegally (Gen3:14).

This occurred by disobedience, the sin and rebellion of Satan first, who also enticed the human familial “king” Adam and his “queen” Eve to join the rebellion on earth. Satan followed this also with a demon king rebellion from the heaven against God’s “kingship”. (Genesis 6; Jude 6; 2 Peter 2:4-5)

Jehovah the “King Piece” is now slandered and blasphemed as an unworthy King in the heaven, heavens and earth. A Universal Issue of Rightful Sovereign Rule is what this life and death real “chess game” is all about; God’s very name ‘Jehovah’ and His ability as Great Purposer is also maligned and doubted (Psalm 1;2;110). The sovereign rulership of God is what is being attacked by demons and mankind caught in this issue, a real life “chess game” by willing the actions of Adam and Eve “pawns”, to side on Satan’s side of the “gameboard” – earth. Satan plays the heavenly realm with his “chess pieces”, his rebellious and illegal demon co-kings. (Ezekiel 28:12-18; Ephesians 6:12; Job1-3)

Now God, in the beginning times of this attempted “checkmate” was reduced to three “pawns”, Abel, Enoch and Noah – a three fold picture that Jehovah always has “pieces” on his side of the sovereign ” chessboard” issue – and Jehovah promised also the Master-Mind of Chess, the “Seed” of God’s “woman”, who is to become “King”, and the ‘Master of the Chessboard’ with a purpose of resolving this sovereignty issue forever, and killing the rival king Satan the serpent and his “seed” and removing all his unrepentant “pieces” from the “chessboard”. (Genesis 3:15; Numbers 24:17; Hebrews 2:14; Revelation 20:10)

Chessboard of Universal Sovereignty Set-up: Death and Satan rule as King (Romans 5:14-21; 1John 5:19):

1. By sin and death humanity since Adam is caught in fear and compromised by that to do Satan’s will. (Romans 6; Hebrews 2:14)

2. Satan, the one with the ability to now cause death by sin and error (Heb2:14), is the slavedriver “king” of this fear of death complex, promised to be destroyed. (John 12:31)

3. Death and sin are also ruling “kings”, rival “sovereigns” over mankind to also be permanently destroyed. (1Corinthians15:24-28; Romans 5:13-21)

4. Jehovah has promised by the righteous “seed” to destroy Satan, the first prophecy of the bible – checkmate; (Genesis 3:15; Isaiah 27:1; Revelation 20:10)

 

In the Beginning: Satan’s Demon and Nephilim Checkmate Attempt

But let us go back to God’s purposeful game, when he was down to only His three ” pawns” to continue the match. The first ” checkmate” attempt was in the days of Noah, to attempt to obstruct the coming of God’s ” seed of righteousness” to be placed on the ” global chess board”. Abel was murdered, Enoch a prophet of truth, was transferred out of that world. Only Noah remained in Jehovah’s service noted for this history. (Genesis 4-6)

Was God’s purpose thwarted by demon “kings”, Nephilim “knights” and evil human “pawns”? No. Noah and 7 others were preserved to continue the “chess match” on a fairly cleansed “chessboard” of earth after the flood, the world after Noah. (Genesis 6) Satan once again filled his ” chess-set” with rivals, beginning with Nimrod an opposing ” king” against Jehovah; (Genesis 10; Genesis 10:8)

Part 2/8

Jehovah Sets a Primary Biblically Noted Chess Piece: Abraham

Now God in time produced the arrival of a “grand chess piece” into his “chess-set” on Jehovah’s side of the sovereign issue, who he called his friend, Abraham. Abraham was tested by God and proved faithful, to not even withholding his dearly, longly sought and anticipated son by miraculous birth, Isaac. (Genesis 12; Genesis 22)

Job is another example of a righteous “Knight” of God, on God’s side of the sovereign issue.

For this God placed all of Abraham’s familial future ” chess pieces” on His side of the “chessboard”, by a covenant with Abraham, for the lineage to deliver his seed into the match – Jehovah specifically chose one lineage out of Abraham, to continue the “chess game” through, to the arrival of the ” seed” – remember at that time very little was known of this mysterious “seed”, he was only called the ” Star” in Numbers 24:17; and the ” Lion of Judah” as well at Genesis 49:10 – who would he be? How would he be? What would he be really? Burning mysteries in those days!

Now we know that Abraham, Isaac and Jacob were all specifically brought into this Abrahamic covenant, and Isaac and Jacob were specifically reminded of the validity with God of this sworn and promised covenant agreement to bless “the nations of the earth” through this “seed” coming through their lineage from Abraham. (Genesis 26:3-5; Genesis 28:13,14; Genesis 48-49)

In time God had to deal with the 12 tribes patriarchical fathers, and who exactly would provide the “seed’s” kingly lineage. Other details were revealed as to the righteous “seed’s” roles in God’s purpose to be fulfilled in time – such as Isaiah 53.

By spontaneous adjustment to various circumstances and challenges, certain patriarchical heads were found unworthy of being the route of the Righteous One’s woman’s seed due to rash behavior such as Reuben and Levi in Israel’s history. (Genesis 48-49)

Judah was given divine prophecy to bring forth the seed, a kingly seed also that “Loin of the tribe of Judah”. (Genesis 49:10)

 

Egypt Enters the game with King Pharaoh

At times after this selection and divine pronouncements covered in Genesis 49, God now had to deal with another checkmate attempt by Satan; Egypt and Satan’s ” king” Pharaoh. (Exodus 9:15-17)

For a second time, as in the flood no doubt, Jehovah’s celestial Great Prince of the Angels Michael acted in behalf of Jehovah’s “chessboard pieces”. (Isaiah 63:9; Daniel 12:1) Israel, soon to become Jehovah’s “chess-set” on earth’s “chessboard’, by divine Passover protection and deliverance provision, a gift sacrifice lamb was given to Jehovah, by Jehovah’s direction. This deliverance guarantee assured by that ‘blood of the lamb’ that Israel would be delivered on “wings of eagles” to Jehovah God, by the smashing of the Pharaoh “king”, and his “knights” and “pawns” in the tenth plague on Egypt, and the finale checkmate at the Red Sea – never again did Pharaoh mock this King Jehovah, or his Great Prince “Knight” Michael; checkmate! (Exodus 14; 15; 19)

 

The Typical Chess-set Created in Mosaic Covenant

After this special deliverance to Almighty God, Jehovah also offered the nation of Israel, through Moses mediation, the freewill opportunity to be in a covenant agreement with God Jehovah for a “kingdom of priests and kings” by obedience to Jehovah’s terms of the contract. This was the ultimate purpose of that Passover, to bring Jehovah’s “chess-set” into his contractual provision as a whole nation between both parties, Jehovah and Israel in a validated blood covenant with a purpose: Kingdom. (Exodus 19:3-6)

Part 3/8

On the Chessboard

Israel agreed, the people accepted, and by another animal blood sacrifice, the Mosaic covenant was sealed between God (The altar) and the people, as blood was sprinkled on both parties validating the Mosaic Covenant and the scroll of the contract covenant.

Now God had stocked his “chessboard” with a nation as his “pieces”, and himself as King. From Joshua to Samuel the people accepted the King Jehovah.

 

 

Israel’s Key Chess Move: Desire for Earthly Kings

In time Israel decided to reject Jehovah as king and cut him off their “chessboard”, they retired their king Jehovah and judge Samuel, for a human king. (1Sanuel 8:1-10)

Now was Jehovah to be thwarted in his purpose? No. He allowed Israel to choose their own disadvantages of having a human king, which Samuel plainly spelled out for them. (1Samuel 8:10-22)

Jehovah allowed this and provided Saul as King over Israel for 40 years. Saul fell as king from Jehovah’s divine favor, and was rejected off the “chessboard”. (1Samuel 15:5-29)

 

Jehovah Sets a Long Range King for Himself: David

Jehovah, after Saul’s rejection and eventual fall, promised to provide himself a king, even before he was born, that would carry out all Jehovah’s commanded Kingly services (1 Samuel 16).

This king designate was David, the 8th son of Jesse, the least likely candidate for the position according to the eyes of man. But Jehovah looks into the heart, not at the outward appearance, and David became king over all Israel.(2Samuel 5:1-3; 1Chronicles 11:1-3; 1Chronicles 12:23-40)

Now Jehovah, had placed his kingly purpose back on the “chessboard” officially sealing with David the “covenant for a kingdom” as well, the Davidic Kingdom Covenant between Jehovah and David; (2Chronicles 17)

 

Special Note: Israel Tried to Inadvertently Checkmate Jehovah’s Kingship

Let us not forget what Israel was attempting here, to place their own king on the “chessboard”, in place of Jehovah’s overall invisible Kingship, and his anointed judge Samuel. Jehovah allowed it, and remember this “move” Jehovah made, for by it he will play the game also with Israel over the years. Not all kings of Israel, in fact very few, did Jehovah’s will. But obviously this human move upon Jehovah’s national “chess-set” and “chessboard” position on earth, did not thwart God’s “eternal purpose”, even if the intent was not purely evil, it was a rejection of Jehovah’s kingship by human beings in divine covenant with him in the nation of Israel.

 

Satan’s New Kings Enter the Chess Match: Assyria and Babylon

Due to that lack of faith and disobedience in fact, other Satanic ” kingly” powers were given advantages over Israel, and attempted as with Assyria, to checkmate the divine board of Jehovah’s king, and Jehovah’s people, His “pieces”. That did not work out to w ell for the Assyrians; Jehovah’s “Knight” laid them low to the tune of 185,000 from dusk to dawn, slain by Jehovah’s angel. ((Isaiah 37:21-29)

Assyria failed, as righteous king Hezekiah was given protection and was not checkmated at Jerusalem; The southern Kingdom of Israel was previously “checked” by the Assyrians though. Eventually Jehovah employed Babylon to knock the Assyrian world power clean off the board – enter King Nebuchadnezzar.

 

 

Jehovah’s Earthly Line of Kings Checkmated – Game Over? No!

Now as Israel’s bad ways increased, Jehovah had to allow Babylon’s king, to checkmate the last human king to EVER sit on the throne of David, when King Zedekiah was checkmated, and destroyed in the eventuality, and his sons, the potential future kings in Judah’s lineage were also destroyed. (Jeremiah 24; Ezekiel 4:1-24:27)

Jehovah’s collection of chess pieces now had NO king to represent him on the throne of David at Jerusalem. The very future of the seed’s lineage was also in jeopardy. Babylon was an aggressive and oppressive ‘master of the board’. (Micah 4:9-10; Psalm 137) So beings the “appointed times of the nations” in 607 BCE, as Jehovah indicated and Jesus affirmed by Daniel’s prophecy, that “Jerusalem would be trampled by the nations” for 2520 years.  (Luke21:24; Dan4:32)

Part 4/8

 

Jehovah’s Special Anointed King: Persian Cyrus the Great

To eventually deal with the Babylonian “chess-set” Jehovah brought in an outside ” special purpose king piece” and anointed him for a special mission, and by his hand he placed him on His own side of the controversial match, this king was Cyrus the Great. (Isaiah 44:24-45:7)

Cyrus the Great checkmated the Babylonian kings, and ensured their eventual erasure from history. (Jeremiah 51:63-64) Cyrus also ensured, in recognition of divine prophecy, that Israel would rebuild their city Jerusalem, and rebuild the temple of Jehovah as well, be signed and sealed kingly decree.

And so it was. (Isaiah 44:26-28; Ezra 1:2; Ezra 6:3)

 

 

Jehovah has no King in Play: Game Over? No!

Yet recall, only governors were in authority in Jerusalem after the exile in Babylon, a king of Judah never again, in fleshly human form, sat on Jehovah’s throne in Jerusalem in David’s lineage. The Jews were also careful in this not to arouse suspicions of revolt by doing so, they were now under constant attention by Medo-Persia, and Greece to follow, and on to the Romans, to remain a subservient power, and to never have an independent king and kingdom in the midst of those Gentile nations for quite a long time (2520 years). (Ezra 3:1-2; Luke21:24; Ezekiel 21:27)

Yet Jehovah’s purpose in the ” chess” ” king” “game”, did not change, he would provide himself the king he desired, in the exact specification given to David by covenant, and recited by David in many Psalms, and by all the prophets who bore witness to the coming King. (Psalm 2; 110; Daniel 7:9-14; Micah 5:1-6; Psalm 72:11-14; Revelation 11:15-18; ! Corinthians 15:20-28)

 

The King Seed Chess Piece Arrives: The Word Becomes Flesh a Perfect Human Being – Jesus Christ

Then the great event if human history, the ” seed” of God’s ” woman” from heaven arrives on earth’s “chessboard”. (Genesis 3:15; Gal3:15-29). This is Jesus Christ, God’s Son. His ministry’s central theme is the same issues raised in Eden, the coming of God’s Kingdom to solve this controversial rival sovereign problem and rebellion, thereby sanctifying God’s name, and allowing God’s will to be done on earth, as in heaven – by a divinely chosen, anointed and created King and a Kingdom of 144000 master ” chess pieces” for all dimensions of the chessboard heaven, heavenly and earthly realms. (John12:12-16; John 18:33-38; Hebrews 1; Luke22:66-71; Rev17:14; Rev 19:11-16)

 

Israel Again Rejects the King in Jehovah’s Name

As we know, before Pontius Pilate, and before the Jewish leaders, rulers and nation, KINGSHIP and divine origin of that King from Jehovah, was the legal issue that the Jews framed into gentile legal martial systems of the Romans, to dispose of Jehovah’s king Jesus Christ, like a clay pawn.

The Jewish nation, in total violation of the Mosaic covenant, rejected Jehovah’s King, and chose the king Caesar as the side of the “chess board” they would from this time on, play against Jehovah’s anointed one. (John 12:19-16; Acts 3:11-18; Psalm 2)

Again, Jehovah allowed the Jews the desire of their heart, and at Jesus death, by divine darkness, earthquake and tearing of the sanctuary curtain clean in two, Jehovah concluded the Mosaic covenant, and the one who kept the covenant perfectly, Jesus Christ, received ALL the powers, promises, life, kingship and priesthood of that national covenant, UNTO HIMSELF. The Mosaic covenant ended, as the “new covenant” went into force; (Matthew 27:51; Mark 15:33-39; Malachi 3)

 

Part 5/8

King Jesus Christ: The King Designate Checkmates Israel: Fleshly Israel? Game Over!

Jesus Christ ” checkmated” eternally, the Jewish rights to Jehovah’s side of the “chessboard”, and removed all of Israel’s national “pieces”, and placed his OWN faithful Israelites individually by faith upon his side of the Kingdom “chessboard”, upon his now ruling “new covenant” “chess-set” to become complete over time. The central ministry of Jesus continued exclusively for the Jews to complete seven years of that provision, three and a half in Jesus Christ’s living ministry in the flesh, concluding in the three and a half years after his death and resurrection into immortal spirit power. (John 1; Luke 22:28-29)

Then Jehovah opened the ‘chessboard of kings’, to the gentile nations, the entire national definition of Jehovah’s master 144001 ” kings” (Jesus included as Mediator and King of kings), had now become “new creation”, a pattern of kingly power, and priestly role, in the perfect model and form of the main promised and delivered “seed”, the master King Piece of Jehovah, the well known now King Jesus Christ. (Revelation 7; 14; Galatians 6:15-16; 1Peter 2:7-10)

 

144000 New Covenant Created Immortal Kings

Jehovah is stocking now (Revelation 7), his chessboard of 144000 immortal king-priests (Revelation 14; Daniel 7:13-27), under the Master Seed of Perfection and Righteousness, incorruptibility and immortality the High Priest-King Jesus Christ. (Revelation 17:14; Isaiah 24:21-23; Zechariah 14:5b; Daniel 7:17,21,27)

Jehovah himself has taken the “chess game” to a whole new level, in fact these kings can now checkmate BOTH heavens and earth for Jehovah’s “master move” to be applied in time – the Har-Magedon ultimate ” checkmate” of this period’s “last days” rival “kings” when God’s “war of the great day of the Almighty” meets a full ” chessboard” of human and demon rival sovereign wanabee “kings”; (Revelation 16:13-16).

 

Heaven Check

Heaven’s ” chessboard” has had the demon kings under Satan, CLEANED off the board. Heaven’s sovereign issue is vindicated in Jehovah’s behalf by his Master King Michael, as he hurled Satan and the demons forevermore from heaven; the first checkmate in heaven leading to earth where King Satan has been cast. (Revelation 12:7-10)

Heaven’s sovereign issue is forever settled. Earth’s sovereignty issue is about to climax here soon at Har-Magedon; ( Revelation 16:13-16; Joel 3:9-17; Zephaniah 3:8; Revelation 11:15-18; Ezekiel 38-39)

 

The Final Chess Moves of Jehovah

Now earth and the vicinities around it’s heavenly realm in this universe, must have God’s will done on earth, as in heaven, also by the forces of a full checkmate in total conquest (Revelation 6; Daniel 2:44). We see now clearly God’s will is the return of his sovereign rulership as in heaven, done, so on earth, to also be done – Jehovah will rule all the ” chessboard of universal sovereignty” now, by even this totally masterful move of allowing the Jews in their old days, to put a human king on the throne of Israel, whom Jehovah anointed in David in time, to be the route of the complete divine checkmate of human kingly authority, by Jehovah’s King “the second man out of heaven” Jesus Christ Last Adam, NOT a human Adamic descendant.

Now gotta plain admit it, that was the checkmate move, initiated in response to Israel’s own move, by which Jehovah will have the full sovereign ” chess match” fully given into his hand. No way can Jehovah be beaten at the game he is King of, Sovereign Almighty Power. I mean this one is just plain stunning, how that move, met this match in a full legal checkmate in Jesus Christ provided by the square one King David’s anointing by Jehovah’s foresight, and Almighty power. (1 Chronicles 17; Psalm 89:3-4)

Part 6/8

Legal Super King Christ

Jesus Christ has also scooped up ALL the covenant rights, benefits, power and legal requirements set forth by Almighty God – in EVERY covenant Jehovah has ever set up between humans and himself, and all these are within Jehovah’s “covenant with Jesus Christ for a kingdom” (Luke22:29), as Jesus Christ also empowered the “new covenant” in the exact same fashion with humans for also a Messianic Kingdom as a provision of Jehovah and Jesus Christ’s Kingdom covenant overall valid seniority of legal contract. Let us not loose sight of the fact, that the Kingdom covenant of Jehovah and Jesus Christ is a wholly different and older covenant, whose sole parties are Jehovah and the Word, from the rebellion’s time (Genesis 3:15). For even the holy ” seed” to be promised by God this definitely, the candidate of the anointing was also already known in Michael already willing and accepted, to be the angel of God’s people (Isaiah 63:9; Malachi 3). The Messianic Kingdom is a special provision of a ” new covenant” contract to humans selected and anointed by Jehovah. By this covenant Jehovah through this Master King Designate Mediator, at the time initiated (Luke 22:28-30), also inaugurates a covenant for a kingdom over earth, with human beings; 144000 of them to become spirit “sons of God”. Jesus Christ is now that ruling King of Daniel 7, Daniel 12, Revelation 6, and Revelation 12 since 1914.

The King is on the Chessboard of all time, ready for the final move (Matthew 28:19-20; Matthew 24:14). The 144000 have been a completing “chess-set” since around the time after the Kingdom’s founding – the 12 may very well have been at that period – this is yet to be certainly revealed.

 

The King Sacrificial Provision: Game NOT Over!

Jesus Christ, approved fully by God as Messiah ( Christ) in 29 CE at his baptism (Luke 3:21-23), has the sacrificial power of a perfect Last Adam, the “king of humanity” to become, as Adam lost, Jesus has kept all the divine missions since Abel’s time, to Noah, to the deliverance of even Abraham from marauding kings and so on fulfilling Isaiah 63:9. This led to the Melchizedekian super-blessing of the King-Priest of God Almighty upon Abraham, and to Israel’s deliverance through the Egyptian checkmate attempt, to the Mosaic covenant, to the Davidic covenant provision. This was all WITHIN the Abrahamic covenant grand promise and sworn oath of Jehovah, a contract seniority encompassing the whole story. This is all carried out and seen through by Michael’s ” Word of God” anointed Arch angelic agency, and ALL within the covenant ‘ Michael the Word’ made with Jehovah God for a Kingdom, LONG BEFORE this was brought upon the human ” chessboard” of the game on earth by divine will and purpose. (Hebrews 1-12; John3:16; 1John2:2; Acts17:30; Genesis 3:15; 12; 22)

Part 7/8

Multi-Realm King Michael (Revelation 12:7-10)

Jehovah is the Master of Wisdom at this ‘Universal Checkmate’ process, and Michael as God’s Word has LISTENED to Jehovah’s guiding strategy for 6000 years of full perfect obedience and performance of EVERY move. Michael (Jesus Christ) is by that powerful faith in his God Jehovah (Micah 5:6), the Jehovah Anointed Master of the very Game of Sovereignty as Jehovah his set up this super-natural immortal King to do just this – take the global “chessboard”, as he took the heavens “chessboard”, and as he will for the 1000 years, rule the ” chessboards” of all realms with Jehovah as the master purposeful strategist who cannot be defeated as King Almighty. (Revelation 20-22)

For what purpose in the end?

To destroy the rival kings in human form, and in Satanic form, forever, and permanently. This will resolve permanently the sovereignty issue and vindicate Jehovah’s sovereign rulership, the purposeful power of his Name and God Jehovah’s will on earth, as in heaven. (Genesis 3:15 to Revelation 21-22 = Genesis 1:27-28)
 

End Game: Armageddon Check (Revelation 16:13-16)

So now Satan has his heavenly ” kings” set up, his demon world rulers, and they are gathering ALL the nations into a unity with the doomed 8th King of Revelation, by the engineering and oversight of the 7th ” king” wildbeast-2lamb-horn dragon talker of the Anglo-American doomed world power system, as shown in Revelation 13:11-15 and Rev16:13-16. The demon “government” is shown in Revelation 12′s 7headed dragon, generically described in Ephesians 6:12 as a the “wicked spirits in the heavenly places”. The human “pawns” are ultimately moved by demons.

Now we see that the issue of sovereignty will be brought before man now for a final Har-Magedon checkmate of Jesus Christ and the 144000 Kings at the “place”, the Armageddon global “chess match” finale. And after that period leads into the 1000 years, Satan will also attempt to re-install his kingship over a perfect human race, and the issue is resolved by everyone individually choosing the Devil kingship, and self kingship, like Adam and Eve chose, and the human race today continues in, or Jehovah’s Universal Sovereign Rulership. (Revelation 20:7-10) All humans will be on one side of the “chessboard”, or the other at this end, yes, at Armageddon, but comprehensively throughout the 1000 years, and at it’s conclusion when Satan is released to set up his pathetic “chess board” attempt one last time, to be eternally checkmated to eternal destruction, with all his pieces in human and demon form. (Rev20:10)

Game over.

 

 

Jehovah Rules as King (1 Corinthians 15:24-28; Revelation 21:1-5; Revelation 22:1-3)

The Kingdom WILL be handed back to Jehovah God, with deathless everlasting sinless human life as a guarantee that Jehovah’s will for earth, for perfect humans in a paradise earthly home, in God’s image living forever and ever will become a reality. (Psalm 133) And Jesus Christ as Last Adam Eternal Father will have become king of the human world from heaven – but through his perfect human sacrifice, and have the full subjection of the creation in HIS power, and he will also ” fill the earth and subdue it” under his guidance, as Adam forfeited all those rights. (Genesis 1:27-28; Isaiah 53; Isaiah 9; 11) By Last Adam Jesus Christ, those provisions and blessings are again made possible in eternal life, to human beings UNDER God’s sovereign rulership, as Jesus Christ hands God back the Kingdom, so that God is ” all things to everyone”, in earth and in heavenly realms. Universal Sovereign Jehovah. (1Cor15:26-28)

Eternal Checkmate.

Part 8/8

Chess Anyone?

Now in the meantime, we see how God “played” this game against men and devils, and from one ” chess piece”, Abel, to three, Abel, Enoch and Noah, God has filled his “chessboard” fully legally and patiently with his central Master King Jesus Christ, and 144000 co-kings in immortal heavenly power completing, and who is going to beat them at this game? They can’t even get past Michael.

See, we cannot beat God at “chess” of Sovereign Right and Rule, and Jehovah is not done, but we can spell out the final moves by faith, as Jehovah’s King Christ CHECKMATES AND DESTROYS ANY AND ALL – EVERY RIVAL SOVEREIGN KING AND KINGSHIP IN HEAVEN, HEAVENS AND EARTH. Forever.

 

Square One is Square Won

May we stay on the right side of the “chessboard”, with Jehovah’s ” Kings” and “pieces”, for in the game’s conclusion, Jehovah will be the ” King of the Chessboard” of all time with zero dissension, and no one can take Him down, and no game will need go on this long, if anyone ever tries to play the game of sovereignty with God Jehovah, for he does not play games, this is the eternal life and death match for real. And as usual, be prepared to get by Michael the King Knight first! LOL

Obey God Jehovah and remain and live forever (1John 1:15-17). The very truth Satan knows, and destroyed himself over, choosing death by disobedience to Jehovah God’s Sovereignty, and by that the king Satan is tossed into the fireplace, no more powerful than a wooden chess piece king, and all his pathetic pieces with him. (Revelation 20:10; Matthew 25:41; Job 18)

Universal Checkmate: One life, Game over for Satan and all rivals against God’s King and Jehovah’s Eternal Kingship. (Revelation 21-22; Psalm 110)

 

(Revelation 17:14) . . .These will battle with the Lamb, but, because he is Lord of lords and King of kings, the Lamb will conquer them. Also, those called and chosen and faithful with him [will do so].”

(Revelation 19:11-16) . . .And I saw the heaven opened, and, look! a white horse. And the one seated upon it is called Faithful and True, and he judges and carries on war in righteousness. 12 His eyes are a fiery flame, and upon his head are many diadems. He has a name written that no one knows but he himself, 13 and he is arrayed with an outer garment sprinkled with blood, and the name he is called is The Word of God. 14 Also, the armies that were in heaven were following him on white horses, and they were clothed in white, clean, fine linen. 15 And out of his mouth there protrudes a sharp long sword, that he may strike the nations with it, and he will shepherd them with a rod of iron. He treads too the winepress of the anger of the wrath of God the Almighty. 16 And upon his outer garment, even upon his thigh, he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords.
