Chapter One

Revelation 1:1-3
This is the Revelation of Messiah Yahshua, which Yahweh gave him to show
to his (Chosen) servants the things which must happen soon, which he sent
and made known by his angel (messenger) to his servant, John,
2 who testified to Yahweh's word, and of the testimony of Messiah, about

everything that he saw.

3 Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy, and

keep the things that are written in it, for the time is at hand (The "End
Times" began with the crucifixion of Messiah Yahshua on the stake, cross or tree).

Note: This will be a "Work In Progress," and will be fine tuned as

the Holy Spirit reveals the understanding of this prophecy in detail,
because the time is at hand.
Obviously, the Revelation of Yahshua uses symbolism. However, very
often a symbolic word or phrase will have many shades of meaning
depending on the circumstances in which it is used. For instance the
symbolic word "Beast" may be used in a generic fashion to represent
"Any Government" or within a descriptive context to represent a
"Particular Government." Therefore, without this insight, the casual
reader of this interpretation might become confused at what appears to
be a different translation for the single word "Beast." There is no need
for anyone to be confused if they look for the consistent generic
definition or its' equivalent along with a specific description.
Additionally, since terminology will vary between differing versions
of the Bible, we will attempt to reference all "Key Terms" for their
true Hebraic or Greek meaning(s) prior to submitting our own
interpretation.

Another problem, presented by Revelation interpretation, is that the

"Time Frame" of the verses very often will jump back and forth
between past, present, and future events and those events will not
necessarily be describing the same past, present, and future time frame
as the reader. Most often the time frame is based on a historically
pivotal point in time, such as, the life of Yahshua, Saint John's life or
the chronology of Ancient Rome. Also, there are many redundant
symbolic explanations by angels in Revelation that are often repeated
in different chapters, which do confuse many people, these are
important as each explanation of an event usually brings out
additional details, which we have tried to consistently present
throughout this entire "Book of Revelation" (Interpretation) as
highlighted clarifications located within (parentheses), as shown.

In order to assist the reader to overcome these obstacles, and in order

to assist the layman to obtain a greater understanding, we have chosen
to present each passage in a 'Chapter-By-Chapter' format, and provide
'On-Going' explanations using Linked References with "Internet
Explorer" 'Balloon Comments'. If you have "Internet Explorer" you
may click or place your cursor on any Bold underlined Green Link
for a more "In Depth" instruction or clarification.

Another aspect of the entire Bible, not just Revelation, is that the
Roman "Beast church" (of "Daniel chapter 7 fame) added punctuation
and numbering to verses that had no previous punctuation or
numbering, and that this punctuation and numbering has on more than
several occasions been the cause of misunderstandings. The reason for
these misunderstandings is simple, as only Yahweh Inspired readers
(or translators) can interpret Yahweh Inspired Scripture. For it is the
Holy Spirit that teaches all things, and hellenized (pagan) Jewish born
translators had neither the Holy Spirit nor were they Inspired
(Hellenized Jew means he or she was pagan and Greek by choice, and Jewish
only by birth).

The first draft of this work will be designed for the layman with
subsequent revisions designed to provide access to greater and greater
detail. Therefore, this study should provide an easy to read 'Bible
Study' of Revelation that most anyone can follow and comprehend.
The most difficult part will be overcoming the stumbling blocks of
Traditional Christianity.

If a discrepancy should occur between the New Testament and The

Tanakh (Old Testament) then the Tanakh will decide the issue, as the
Tanakh is the Scripture used by Messiah and his Apostles, including
Saint John. The Tanakh should always be used to interpret the New
Testament. The term 'Old Testament' does not mean outdated
testament; it means First, and 'The First Testament' (Tanakh) was First
because it was the most important, just the same as Messiah being the
First Begotten of The First Fruits. Is he the "Old Messiah" OR
Yahweh's "Eldest Son?" Does that make "The Messiah" outdated or
pivotal?

The Roman Empire

The Roman Empire in AD 337
The empire at the death of Constantine the (not so) Great
 Note: The Seven Assemblies of True Believers were located in Asia
Minor in the Eastern Side of the Roman Empire. This is important, so
please do not forget it, because Roman government and its Roman
(catholic - Universal) church were (church still is) located on the Western
Side of the Roman Empire.

Revelation 1:4-20 (Continued)

4 John, to the seven assemblies (of True Believers) that are (were) in Asia
Minor: Grace to you and peace, from Yahweh, who is and who was and
who is to come; and from the seven (Holy) Spirits (of Yahweh. That's a
"measure" of Yahweh's Holy Spirit for each of the seven churches. See Rev. 4:5)
who are before His throne;
5 and from Yahshua, the "Faithful Witness," the "Firstborn of the
Dead," (First Resurrected from death to immortality) and the (coming, future)
"Ruler of the Kings of the Earth." To him who loves us, and
washed us from our sins by his blood (highest level of Selfless Love);
6 and he made us to be (become) "a Kingdom," "Priests" to his G-d

and Father; to him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.
7 Behold, he is coming with the clouds (of the first heaven or sky), and every

eye (person, who has ever lived) will see him, including those who pierced
him. All the tribes (nations, races) of the earth will wail because of him.
Even so, Amen.

8"I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the
End," says Yahweh, "who is and who was and who is to
come, the Almighty."

9 I John, your brother and partaker with you in oppression and kingdom
and perseverance which are (made manifest) in Yahshua (Messiah), was on
the isle that is called Patmos because of Yahweh's Word and the testimony
of Yahshua.
10 I was in the Spirit on the (Great and Terrible) day of the Lord (Yahweh's

Day), and I heard behind me a loud voice, as of a trumpet

11 saying, "What you see, write in a book and send to the seven

assemblies (in Asia Minor): to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira,

Sardis, Philadelphia, and to Laodicea."
12 I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. Having turned, I saw seven

golden lampstands (seven assemblies of True Believers, also called seven

candlesticks).
13 And in the midst of the lampstands was one like a son of man, clothed

with a robe reaching down to his feet, and with a golden sash around his
chest.
14 His head and his hair were white as white wool, like snow. His eyes were
like a flame of fire.
15 His feet were like burnished brass, as if it had been refined in a furnace.

His voice was like the voice of many waters (a fountain of living water).
16 He had seven stars (seven angels of the seven assemblies) in his right hand.

Out of his mouth proceeded a sharp two-edged sword (The Judgement

of Yahweh by His Proxy). His face was (brilliant) like the sun shining at its
brightest.
17 When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead man. He laid his right hand

(Yahshua is Yahweh's Ambassador and "Right Hand.") on me, saying, "Don't be

afraid. I Am (as Yahweh's Proxy) The First and The Last, (I have the "Will,"
"The Power," and "The Authority" of Yahweh, and as Yahweh's Proxy, I represent
The Father to my "Chosen.")
18 and the "Living One" (First human to ever be resurrected to immortality). I

was dead (because I was human), and behold, I am alive forevermore (through
Yahweh, "My Savior"). I have (been given) the keys of Death (as a giver of
eternal life or death) and of Hades (resurrection from the grave).

19Write therefore the things which you have seen (past), and
the things which are (present), and the things which will
happen hereafter (future);

20the mystery of the seven stars which you saw in my right hand, and the
seven golden lampstands. The seven stars are the angels (messengers) of the
seven assemblies. The seven lampstands are the seven assemblies (in Asia
Minor: Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and to
Laodicea).

End of Chapter Note: So far John and the reader (you)

are provided with the basic knowledge that YHWH (Yahweh) and
Yahshua are distinctively different entities and yet, because Yahshua
now possesses Yahweh's Holy Spirit of Righteousness (a fulfillment of
Prophecy), Yahshua has been given both power and dominion by
Yahweh, (Yahshua is Yahweh by "Proxy" only. Spiritually they are identical
"In Nature") and therefore the reference to both Yahweh and
Yahshua as being the Alpha and Omega (meaning "As One" in Spirit.).
However, Yahshua is both an extension of Yahweh (His Proxy) and
Yahweh's Ambassador to mankind. Yahshua is not Yahweh.
Yahshua was created by Yahweh. Yahweh has no beginning or end.
Yahshua has a beginning, but no end. Ultimately, all of Yahweh's
future children, not just His Firstborn (from the dead) son (Yahshua),
will have a beginning, but no end.

Actually, the term "Alpha and Omega," meaning "The First and
the Last" is a figure of speech, and implies, "Besides me
there is no other" or "The One and Only," but does not
imply G-d. For Yahweh this means, "Besides me there is no other
Creator G-d," and for Yahshua it means "Besides me there is no
other sacrifice for sin, there is no other "Role Model" (example), and
there is no other High Priest." The term "Alpha and Omega"
means "I Am Not Only The Original, But Also, Unique" (this phrase
must be explained or qualified in some way).

We have, also, been provided with the information that the Seven
Assemblies (Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia,
and to Laodicea) or ancient church groups (of believers) that were
established in Asia Minor have been symbolically identified as
"Golden lampstands," and that each of the seven lampstands
has an angel or messenger (Aggelos) from Yahweh. Additionally, we
know that this is a revelation of the period of time during which the
"Great and Terrible Day of Yahweh" will occur just prior to
the beginning of the Sabbath Millennium (The Sabbath Millennium is
symbolized by Succoth; aka., Feast of Booths or Tabernacles).

Today, it would be impossible to find each individual church group,

and apply this message to them. They are in fact completely
dispersed into the world, but the messages to the individual church
groups still apply to Yahweh's chosen individuals. As I see it (and this
is important), there are only TWO lampstands or candlesticks left in
this world; and these are the True Believers from (firstly) the Jews
and (secondly) the Gentiles. I believe that these are quite probably the
"Two Witnesses" from Revelation 11, and I will build up to this
 conclusion as you continue to read. I will not, however, entertain
this possibility as the only possible solution to The Two Witnesses.

Revelation 11:3 (The Two Witnesses)

3 I will give power to my Two Witnesses, and they (Two
Remaining Assemblies of True Worshippers) will prophesy One
Thousand Two Hundred Sixty (prophetic) Days (OR 1,260
years until 1798AD) clothed in sackcloth (oppressed and humbled by
Satan and his religions and governments).
4 These (Two Witnesses) are the Two Olive Trees and (are ALSO)
the Two Lampstands (or candlesticks), standing before the Lord
of the Earth. (Thus Spiritual "Philadelphia" and "Smyrna" are the Two
Witnesses . . . as we shall see)

Chapter Two
A message to Yahweh's "Called Out Assemblies"

Revelation 2:1-29 (Speaking to individual assemblies and chosen

individuals)
To the angel of the assembly (of followers) inEphesus write: "He
(Yahshua) who holds the seven stars (Angels) in his right hand, he (Yahshua)
who walks in the midst of the seven golden lampstands (assemblies) says
these things:"

2 "I know your (members) works, and your toil and perseverance, and that
you can't tolerate evil men, and (you) have tested those who call themselves
apostles, and they are not, and (you) found them false ("True Worshippers,"
that have knowledge of Yahweh's truth, can recognize false apostles).

Note: "True Worshippers" are those that have received the truth
of Yahweh's gospel and believed in it, but have yet to be resurrected
to eternal life. However, "The Called" can "Fall from Grace," and
therefore never be "Chosen" to receive "Eternal Life." (Matthew
20:16) ... For many are called, but few chosen... . Therefore, the
false doctrine of "Once Saved, Always Saved" is a despicable lie of
Satan! Read for yourself in the coming verses, Yahshua not only
threatened to remove the lampstand(s) of five of the seven
assemblies of believers from before the throne of Yahweh, despite all
of their good Spiritual qualities, but he actually did remove them.
They all had already received a measure of the Holy Spirit (in Acts
chapter 2) approximately 65 years before Revelation was written in
96AD.

3You have perseverance and have endured for my name's sake, and have
not grown weary.

4 But (even so) I have this against you, that you left your First Love (you
stopped putting Yahweh first. Matthew 22:37).

5 Remember, therefore, from where you have fallen (Worship only the
Father), and repent and do the first works; or else I am coming to you, and
will move (Remove) your lampstand out of its place, unless you repent.
6 But this you have, that you hate the works of the Nicolaitans (conquest

through church government, as in the Roman catholic church), which I (Yahshua)

also hate.

7 He who has an ear, let him hear what the (Holy) Spirit (of Yahweh) says
(through Yahshua) to the assemblies (of True Believers). To him who
overcomes I will give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the Paradise
(Coming Kingdom) of my G-d (Yahweh is Yahshua's G-d! Yahshua is not his own
G-d!).

8 "To the angel of the assembly in Smyrna write: "The first and the
last (The One and Only First Born), who was dead, and has come to life (The
Unique person explained or qualified as Messiah) says these things (as Yahweh's
Proxy):
9 "I know your (physical) oppression, and your (physical) poverty (but you are

Spiritually rich), and the blasphemy of those who say they are (Spiritual)
Jews (the spiritual seed of Abraham - See Revelation 3:9), and they are not,
but are a synagogue of Satan.
10 Don't be afraid of the things which you are about to suffer. Behold, the

devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested;
and you will have oppression for ten days (not ten literal days, but a prophetic
ten days). Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.
11 He who has an ear, let him hear what the (Holy) Spirit (that binds us

together) says (through Yahshua) to the assemblies (of all True Believers). He
who overcomes won't be hurt by the second death.

Important Note: Messiah (Yahshua) did not tell those of Smyrna

to repent, he did not mention removing their lampstand out of its
place, and he did not say he had anything against them. These
Witnesses (One of Two) are the Spiritual Jews or the Spiritual Seed
of Abraham.

"To the angel of the assembly in

12 Pergamum write: "He (Yahshua,
who is Yahweh's Proxy) who has (been given) the sharp two-edged sword (of
Discernment by Yahweh: Hebrews 4:12) says these things:
13 "I know your works and where you dwell, where Satan's throne is
(presently on Earth). You hold firmly to my name (Reputation of Yahshua, not
Jesus or IHS), and didn't deny my faith, even in the days of Antipas my
witness, my faithful one, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells
(on Earth, in Religion, Politics, and in the hearts of evil men).
14 But (even so) I have a few things against you, because you have there

some who hold the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to throw a
stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed (or
offered up) to idols (What you eat is important in the Spiritual sense), and to
commit (physical and Spiritual) sexual immorality.
15 So you also have some who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans

(conquest, power, and control through church government, as in the Roman catholic
church) in the same way.
16 Repent therefore, or else I am coming to you quickly, and I will make
war against them with the sword of my mouth (they will be condemned by the
intent of their dark hearts).
17 He who has an ear, let him hear what the (Holy) Spirit (of Yahweh) says

(through His Proxy, Yahshua) to the assemblies (of True Worshippers)." To him
who overcomes, to him will I (Yahshua) give of the hidden manna (of
Yahweh; John 6:31-33), and I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a
new name written, which no one knows but he who receives it.

18 "To the angel of the assembly in Thyatira write: "The Son of

Yahweh (Yahshua, who is Yahweh's Proxy), who has his eyes like a flame of
fire, and his feet are like burnished brass, says these things:
19 I know your works, your love, faith, service, patient endurance, and that

your last works are more than the first (indicates Spiritual growth).
20 But I have this against you, that you tolerate your woman, Jezebel,

who calls herself a prophetess. She teaches and seduces my servants to

commit (Spiritual) sexual immorality (idolatry), and to eat things sacrificed
(or offered up) to idols (examples of modern seducing idolatry are Xmas, Easter,
Halloween, the catholic Eucharist, Rock Stars, etc....)
21 I gave her time to repent, but she refuses to repent of her (Spiritual)
sexual (produces evil fruit) immorality.
22 Behold, I will throw her into a (Spiritual) bed, and those who commit

(Spiritual) adultery with her into great oppression, unless they repent of her
works.
23 I will kill her children (evil fruit of her evil spiritual womb) with the (first &

second) Death, and all the assemblies will know that I am he who searches
the minds and hearts (Hebrews 4:12). I will give to each one of you
according to your deeds.
24 But to you I say, to the rest (the true faithful) who are in Thyatira, as

many as don't have this teaching, who don't know what some call 'the
deep things of Satan,' to you (the true faithful) I say, I don't lay on you any
other burden.
25 Nevertheless that (true faith) which you have, hold firmly until I come.
26 He who overcomes, and he who keeps my works to the end (of his life), to

him will I give authority over the nations (will become chosen and will receive
eternal life and authority, as a Spiritually Begotten Child of Yahweh).
27 He (the chosen) will rule them (the nations) with a rod of iron, shattering

them like clay pots; as I, also, have received of my Father (Yahshua

plainly states that he has no power of his own, but that his power and authority is
directly from Yahweh):
28 and I will give him the morning star (see note below).
29 He who has an ear, let him hear what the (Holy) Spirit (of Yahweh) says

(through Yahshua) to the assemblies (of True Believers)."

End of Chapter Note: So far only the assembly of Smyrna

escaped any condemnation by Yahshua.
The morning star referred to in verse 18 above, is most probably
Messiah Yahshua (Rev. 22:16 ), but make note that Satan or Lucifer
is Yahshua's counterfeit and in Isaiah 14:12 Satan is referred to a
day-star, son of the morning. Additionally, Lucifer is a metaphor for
"The Sun".

Revelation 22:16
16 I, Yahshua, have sent my angel to testify these things to you for
the assemblies. I am the root and the offspring of David; the Bright
and Morning Star."
 Isaiah 14:12
12How you are fallen from heaven, day-star (Lucifer or bright like the
Sun), son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground,
who laid the nations low!

Chapter Three
The message to Yahweh's "Called Out Assemblies" is
Continued.

Revelation 3:1-22 (Speaking to individual assemblies and chosen

individuals)

And to the angel of the assembly in Sardis write: He (Yahshua) who

has the seven Spirits of Yahweh, and the seven stars says these things: "I
know your works (fruit of the Holy Spirit), that you have a reputation of
being alive, but you are dead (Seed with shallow roots. See Matthew 13:5-7, 20-
22).
2 Wake up, and establish the things that remain, which were ready to

die, for I have found no works of yours perfected before my G-d (Yahweh is
Yahshua's G-d).
3 Remember therefore how you have received and heard. Keep it, and
repent. If therefore you won't watch, I will come as a thief, and you won't
know what hour I will come on you.
4 Nevertheless you have a few names in Sardis that did not defile their

garments. They will walk with me in white, for they are worthy.
5 He who overcomes will be arrayed like this (as I am arrayed) in white

(spotless) garments, and I (Yahshua) will in no way blot his name out of the
"Book of Life," and I (as his "High Priest") will confess his name before my
Father, and before His angels (as part of a "Wave Sheaf").

Note: At Yahshua's death and self-sacrifice (Matthew 20:28; Mark

10:45; John 10:14-18) he became the final "High Priest," (a Nazarite
Priest, as he was not of the Hebrew "Levitical Priesthood") and in so doing
he did not end the Hebrew faith, but made it Spiritually Holy and
acceptable unto Yahweh. Messiah did not start A New Faith, he just
perfected the Old One. However, Yahshua must be your "High Priest"
and "Sacrifice for sin" if you want your Hebrew Faith to be Holy and
acceptable unto Yahweh.

Please excuse me if I over simplify below

Jewish Lampstand: If you claim to be Jewish (Tribes of

Judah, Benjamin, Levi) then you must understand that your Jewish
Faith without Yahshua is unacceptable unto Yahweh, because you no
longer have an acceptable sacrifice for sin or an acceptable "High
Priest." Therefore, you cannot receive the Ruach HaKodesh and the
instruction in Righteousness imparted by Yahweh's Holy Spirit. You
will die in your sins without the Holy Spirit (Ruach HaKodesh).

Ancient Hebrew Lampstand: If you claim to be a True Believer, but

your faith doesn't teach you through Yahweh's Righteous and Holy
Spirit of love to be obedient to all of Yahweh's Commandments (they
are intended to teach us how to love Yahweh and one another.); If you don't
Keep Yahweh's Holy Sabbaths and your present faith doesn't even
come close to resembling the Hebrew Faith, as established in the
Tanakh (Old Testament); then your faith is, also, unacceptable unto
Yahweh., because you have rejected the very same faith that Yahshua
came to MAGNIFY, and kept his whole life.. You have either allowed
yourself to be beguiled by Satan into believing into the false Mystery
Religion or you worship yourself. You, too, will die in your sins
without the Holy Spirit (Holy Pneuma) or Ruach HaKodesh.

Please Note: If you are (unknowningly or not) a descendant

of the "Lost Ten Tribes of Israel" then you are the other branch
of the Olive Tree, and therefore you are a natural branch and a
descendant of Ephraim; but if you are not a descendant then
you are a Gentile Believer and a grafted in branch.

Now understand the symbolism of the tree branches in

Feast of Tabernacles.
Nehemiah 8:14-15

14 They found written in the law, how that Yahweh had commanded
by Moses, that the children of Israel should dwell in booths in the
feast of the seventh month;
15 and that they should publish and proclaim in all their cities, and in
Jerusalem, saying, Go forth to the mountain, and get olive branches
(Judah), and branches of wild olive (Ephraim), and myrtle (gentile)
branches, and palm (gentile) branches, and branches of thick (gentile)
trees, to make booths, as it is written.

Roman 11:16-21

16 If the First Fruit (Yahshua) is holy, so is the lump. If the root

(Yahshua) is holy, so are the branches.
17 But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild
olive, were grafted in among them, and became partaker with them of
the root of the richness of the olive tree;
18 don't boast over the branches. But if you boast, it is not you who
bear the root, but the root you.
 19 You will say then, "Branches were broken off, that I might be
grafted in."
20 True; by their unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by your
faith. Don't be conceited, but fear;
21 for if Yahweh didn't spare the natural branches, neither will he
spare you.

6 He who has an ear, let him hear what the (Holy) Spirit (of Yahweh) says
(through Yahshua) to the assemblies (of True Believers)."

7 "To the angel of the assembly in Philadelphia write: "He

(Yahshua) who is Holy, he who is true, he who has (received from Yahweh)
the key of David, he who (as Yahweh's Proxy) opens and no one can shut,
and that shuts and no one opens, says these things:
8 "I know your works (behold, I have set before you an open door, which

no one else can shut), (and because) that you have a little power, and kept
my word, and didn't deny my name (reputation of Yahshua, Yehshua, but not
the catholic Jesus).
9 Behold, I give of the (Universally and Traditionally accepted) synagogue of

Satan, of those who say they are (Spiritual) Jews (the spiritual seed of
Abraham - Review Revelation 2:9), and they are not, but lie. Behold, I will
make them to come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have
loved you.
10 Because you kept the word of my patience, I also will keep you from the

hour of testing (will not suffer for ten prophetic days as the Smyrna
Assembly), that which is to come on the whole world, to test those who
dwell on the earth.
11 I come quickly. Hold firmly that which you have, so that no one takes

your (golden) crown.

12 He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my G-d

(Yahweh is Yahshua's G-d and Creator), and he will go out from there no
more. I will write on him the name of my G-d (Yahweh is Yahshua's G-d and
Creator), and the name of the city of my G-d (Yahweh), the New Jerusalem,
which comes down out of heaven from my G-d (Yahweh), and (also) my own
new name.
13 He who has an ear, let him hear what the (Holy) Spirit (of Yahweh) says
(through Yahshua) to the assemblies (of True Believers)."

Important Note: Yahshua did not tell those of Philadelphia to

repent, he did not mention removing their lampstand out of its
place, and he did not say he had anything against them.
Additionally, they will not suffer for ten prophetic days, as those of
Smyrna. For this reason I believe (speculation) the Smyrna Assembly
is made up mostly of the Spiritual Seed of Abraham that are Jewish
born, while I believe Philadelphia Assembly represents the Spiritual
Seed of Abraham that are Gentile born.

14"To the angel of the assembly in Laodicea write: "The Amen

(Yahshua), the Faithful and True Witness (Yahshua), the Head of Yahweh's
creation (Yahshua), says these things:
15 "I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot (a lazy "Once Saved

Always Saved" kind of attitude). I wish you were cold or hot.

16 So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will vomit

you out of my mouth.

17 Because you say, 'I am rich (or Saved), and have gotten riches (Salvation

or "Born Again"), and have need of nothing (always Saved);' and (you) don't
know that you are the wretched one, miserable, poor, blind, and naked;
18 I counsel you to buy from me gold (Righteous Character) refined by fire

(trials & tribulations), that you may become rich (Chosen or Under Grace); and
white garments (Seek Perfection), that you may clothe yourself (hide your
old sinful self), and that the shame of your nakedness (old sinful nature) may
not be revealed; and eye salve to anoint your eyes (no longer blinded by
Satan's deceptions), that you may see.

19 As many as I love, I reprove and chasten. Be zealous (of good works)

therefore, and repent (of "Self" or "Sin").
20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and

opens the door, I will come in to him, and will dine with him, and he with
me.
21 He who overcomes (through the Power of Yahweh's Holy Spirit, the sinful

nature of the natural man), I will give to him to sit down with me on my
throne, as I also overcame, and sat down with my Father on his throne.
22 He who has an ear, let him hear what the (Holy) Spirit (of Yahweh) says
(through Yahshua) to the assemblies (of True Believers).

End of Chapter Note: Only the assemblies of Smyrna and

Philadelphia escaped without any condemnation by Yahshua. This
is important in light of the fact that by chapter eleven there are only
two remaining lampstands. Additionally, it is not the actual
assemblies of Smyrna and Philadelphia that will have salvation, but
all of those True Believers who cling to the faith with the same
Spiritual attributes as those of Smyrna and Philadelphia. These
attributes, as mentioned, are being faithful even in the face of
physical oppression and poverty, maintaining righteous works,
keeping Yahshua name, keeping Yahshua word (or Commandments)
even until death (Mark 13:13). On the other hand go back and read
what the other assemblies were doing wrong. If you do you will find
that they have the very same characteristics as the pagan
Traditional Christian and Jewish faiths (without Yahshua) have today.
They will have one or more of the following faults:

(1)They don't worship Yahweh as the "One and Only" Supreme G-d
(or they worship Yahshua as Yahweh, which is idolatry);

They keep pagan traditions and eat food offered to idols (this
(2)

usually occurs within catholic-pagan traditions, such as, Xmas, Easter,

Halloween, receiving the Eucharist, Valentines Day, Fat Tuesday or Mardi
Gras, St. Patrick's Day, Lent, etc. , and the list goes on);

They belong to a church with a history of church government

(3)

and/or population control (this is the true definition of A Cult);

(4)They do not bear true Spiritual Fruit or grow Spiritually. They

attend church or synagogue functions and think that they have
performed their Spiritual obligations;

(5)They don't even attempt to "Keep All of the Commandments"

(including the 7th day weekly and the Annual Holy Sabbaths);

(6) They don't believe in Yahshua as their High Priest and (self)
 Sacrifice for their sins;

They don't study Yahweh's word to show themselves approved

(7)

and/or they place their salvation into the hands of one of Satan's
false apostles, therefore they do not personally trust in Yahweh or
Yahshua, but in their false priest, minister or rabbi.

The above is by no means a complete list of faults, but appears to be

the major faults that lead to further stumbling.

Chapter Four
A Glimpse into the Third Heaven, but not the Future.

Revelation 4:1-6
After these things I looked and saw a door opened in (to the third) heaven,
and the first voice that I heard, like a trumpet speaking with me, was one
saying, "Come up here, and I will (soon) show you (the future of) the
things which must happen after this."
2 Immediately I was in the Spirit (a Mental State). Behold, there was a

throne set in (the third) heaven, and one sitting on the throne
3 that looked like a jasper stone (Quartz or Green Chalcedony) and a sardius

(translucent Quartz with tiny crystals attached). There was a rainbow (Strong's
#2463 - Iris) around the throne, like an emerald to look at.
 Note: Interestingly enough the Genesis account of a 'Rainbow' or
'Bow' does not carry with it the requirement of multiple colors as we
think of a 'Rainbow' today, but is, instead, a descriptive word, as is
'Rainbow' in Revelation 4:3, for something that was arched, curved or
bent; it appears the translators took a little liberty here by calling "Iris"
a 'Rainbow,' (even if it actually referred to a multicolored rainbow, a
rainbow was still a mistranslation in as much as it over simplified a highly
descriptive word.) This taking of liberties has, also, caused much
deception in Bible translations, and the translators would have done
much better to have left descriptive words as a description instead of a
biased and misleading literal translation.

4 Around the throne were twenty-four thrones. On the thrones were

twenty-four elders (often referred to as the Celestial Council of Elders) sitting,
dressed in white garments (Those that always seek Righteousness) with crowns
of gold on their heads.
5 Out of the throne proceed lightnings, sounds, and thunders. There were

seven lamps (Spirits of Yahweh) of fire burning before the throne, which are
the seven Spirits (pneumas) of Yahweh (Seven Holy Spirits).
6 Before the throne was something (a really good ambiguous descriptive word)

like a sea (like a large translucent moving mass of water) of glass (not hard, but
clear or translucent), like a crystal (crystal clear, but translucent). In the midst
of the throne, and around the throne were four living creatures (seraphim)
full of eyes before and behind.

Isaiah 6:1-13 ( Isaiah has an experience similar to John )

In the year that (good) king Uzziah died I saw the Almighty sitting on
a throne, high and lifted up; and His train filled the temple.
2 Above Him stood the seraphim: each one had six wings; with two

he (it) covered his (its) face, and with two he (it) covered his (its) feet,
and with two he (it) did fly.
3 One cried to another, and said, Holy, holy, holy is Yahweh of Hosts: the

whole earth is full of his glory (a futuristic vision of the Sabbath

Millennium).
4The foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice (sounds and
thunders) of Him who cried, and the house was filled with smoke.

5 Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of

unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for
my eyes have seen the King, Yahweh of Hosts.
6 Then flew one of the seraphim to me, having a live coal (Ritspah -

feminine trait of a "Life Giver" to a glowing stone) in his hand, which he

(personal pronoun 'He' added by translators, but there are no males or
females in Yahweh's Kingdom only male and female attributes or traits) had
taken with the tongs from off the altar:
7 and he (seraphim) touched my mouth with it, and said, Behold, this

(feminine trait - live coal) has touched your lips; and your iniquity is
taken away, and your sin forgiven.

Note: I see three possibilities here. (1) The Holy Spirit

(Ruwach in the Tanakh) is in the feminine form, and we know
that live coals can come from flaming lamps or the seven Holy
Spirits. (2) On the other hand, since this is a futuristic vision of
a period of time surrounding the Sabbath Millennium, could it
be that Isaiah's vision is of the actual "Day of Atonement?" or
(3) a even serve a dual prophecy?

8I heard the voice of the Almighty, saying, Whom shall I send, and
who will go for us? Then I said, Here am I; send me.

9He said, "Go (Isaiah), and tell this people, 'You hear indeed, but
don't understand; and you see indeed, but don't perceive.' (This
phrase is often the phrase used to define a 'Parable' or 'anthropomorphism.')

10Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and
shut their eyes (make them "Lukewarm"); lest they see with their eyes,
and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and turn
again, and be healed."

11 Then I said, "Lord, how long?" He answered, "Until cities are

 waste without inhabitant, and houses without man, and the land
becomes utterly waste,
12 and Yahweh has removed men far away, and the forsaken places

are many in the midst of the land.

13 If there are yet a tenth in it, it also shall in turn be eaten up: as a

terebinth (elah - feminine form for a Teel tree or any strong tree), and as
an oak, whose stock remains, when they are felled; so (likewise that)
the Holy Seed (Spiritual Seed of Abraham) is the (remaining ) stock (or
Spiritual Remnant) of it."

Revelation 4:7-11 (continued)

7 The first creature was like a lion, and the second creature like a calf, and
the third creature had a face like a man, and the fourth creature was like
a flying eagle.
8 and the four living creatures (Seraphim), having each one of them six

wings, are full of eyes around about and within. They have no rest day
and night, saying, Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord (Supreme) Yahweh, the Almighty
(Yahweh), who was and who is and who is to come (To The Earth).
9 Whenever the living creatures give glory, honor, and thanks to Him who

sits on the throne, to Him who lives forever and ever,

10 (then) the twenty-four elders fall down before Him (Yahweh) who sits on

the throne, and worship Him who lives forever and ever, and will
throw their crowns before the throne, saying,
11 "Worthy are You, our Lord and our Yahweh, to receive (Strong's # 2983,

lambano - take, receive or seize) the glory, the honor, and the power, (Strong's #
1411, dunamis - literal or figure of speech for having the ability to work miracles)
for You created all things, and (only) because of . . .

. . . Your desire they existed, and were created."

Note: For the 24 Elders to throw their crowns before the throne is a
figure of speech which not only indicates the obvious sign of
submission before the Almighty, but also, indicates that the crowns
 belong to Yahweh and that they received their crowns from Him and
not of themselves.

Chapter Five
The Purpose and Fulfilment of The Messiah

Revelation 5:1-14 (John sees the past and the future)

I saw, in the right hand of Him (Yahweh) who sat on the throne, a book
written within and on the back, sealed shut with seven seals.
2 I saw a mighty angel (messenger) proclaiming with a loud voice, "Who is

worthy to open the book, and to break its seals?"

3No one (that existed at that time) in heaven, or on the earth, or under the
earth was able to open the book or to look in it.

Note: Since Yahweh could not personally shed blood for the
remission of sin, He was legally prevented from opening "The Book
of Life," and since Yahshua (the first human son of Yahweh) obviously
didn't exist (at that period of time suggested by the vision), then he
was unavailable to open the book until after he was created,
sacrificed, and begotten of G-d. Therefore The Messiah did not pre-
 exist as an entity prior to his physical birth, but did pre-exist "In The
Mind" (Pneuma or Ruach) of Yahweh (where he was mentally or
Spiritually conceived).

4And I wept much, because No one (at that time in Heaven or on the Earth)
was found worthy to open the book (of Life), or to look in it.

5 One of the ( 24 ) elders said to me, "Don't weep. Behold (Look! There
has just appeared), the Lion (Messiah Yahshua) who is of the tribe of Judah,
the Root (physical human seed) of David, has overcome (sin, and shed his blood
for our sin, and is now worthy) to open the book and its seven seals."

Note: Yahshua was eventually born flesh and did not sin according
to the "Intent of the Law" (Yahshua kept all Laws, Holy Traditions,
Statutes, and Ordinances according to their "Intent of Love").

6 I saw in the midst of the throne and (midst) of the four living creatures
(Seraphim), and in the midst of the (24) elders, a Lamb (Messiah Yahshua)
standing, as though it (he) had been slain, having seven horns, and seven
eyes, which are the seven (Holy Pneuma, Holy Spirit, seven assemblies or
Flaming Lampstands. Rev. 4:5) Spirits of Yahweh, sent forth into all the
earth (as Witnesses of which only Smyrna, and Philadelphia fully remain).
7 Then he came, and he took it (the "Book of Life") out of the right hand of

Him (Yahweh) who sat on the throne.

8 Now when he (Messiah Yahshua) had taken the book, the four living

creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb (of
Yahweh), each one (each elder) having a harp, and golden bowls full of
incense, which are (symbolically) the "Prayers of the Saints" (Yahweh's
Chosen Few).
9 They (the Saints or True Believers) sang a new song (of both Moses and Yahshua),

saying, "You (Messiah Yahshua) are worthy to take the book, And to open its
seals: For you were killed (Sacrificed), and bought us for Yahweh with your
blood, Out of every tribe, language, people, and nation,
10 And made them (The Chosen) kings and priests to our G-d (Yahweh), And
they (will ultimately) Reign on the Earth" (In the Coming Kingdom of Yahweh
on Earth under the authority of Yahshua).

11 I saw, and I heard a voice of many angels around the throne, the (four)
living creatures, and the (twenty-four) elders; and the number of them (all)
was ten thousands of ten thousands, and thousands of thousands (Literally
at least 104,000,000 and probably higher, but still a low percentage of everyone ever
born);

12saying with a loud voice, "Worthy is the Lamb who has been slain to
receive the power, riches, wisdom, might, honor, glory, and blessing (from
Yahweh)!"

13I heard every created thing which is in Heaven, on the Earth, under the
Earth (in the Earth), on the sea, and everything in them, saying, "To Him
(Yahweh) who sits on the throne, and (also) to the Lamb (Yahshua) be the
blessing, the honor, the glory, and the dominion, forever and ever. Amen."

The four living creatures said, "Amen!" The elders fell down and
14

worshipped.
