Scripture Lesson:  Rev. 12:1-6; 13:1-6
Topic: Review of Rev. 12-13th Chap., 14th Chapter
(These notes will be updated later.)


Rev. 12:1-6 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: 2 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. 3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne. 6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.


Rev. 13:1-6 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. 2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. 3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. 4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? 5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. 6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.

Roaring 20s, Bubbles, Bubbles, Tim Dixon’s Dream,


Use scriptures (law, prophets, Isa. 8:20, fulfillment, Matt. 5:17, and the book of Revelation) to verify your interpretation where necessary.


Introduction
After the seven trumpets sounded (Rev. 8-12) a new era opened. The number 7 denotes completion or perfection and these seven trumpets and seven days of Moses’ vision of creation convey this principle of completion or perfection.


Dr. H. C. Kinley said in his text book that there are seven ages in a week of ages and after that week of ages ends another set or week of ages begins. See Vol 1, p. 126-128, THE NUMBER SEVEN IN JEWISH THEOLOGY DENOTES PERFECTION.


So the 12th chapter of Revelation conveys a new beginning. What is the new beginning?


This new beginning in Revelation is the Messiah’s resurrected bride. “12:1-2 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: 2 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.”


Here the Woman would constitute not physical Israel, but those in the graves from Adam to John the Baptist resurrecting spiritually with Yahshua the Messiah and those 120 receiving the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost with His 12 disciples (Matt. 27:51-53, Acts 2:1-6). 


Clothing of the woman in the sun represents being clothed in Yahshua, as Eve was clothed in Adam before the transgression. 


Here the sun represents Yahshua. “(Mal. 4:2)  2 But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.”


The Crown with 12 stars represent the 12 tribes of Israel. The Moon under her feet represents Israel no longer subject to the law of Moses, but being led by the Spirit under the New Covenant (Jer. 31:31-34).


In the second verse the woman being with child represents the male child which is the spirit of the Messiah about to be born or resurrected in his Bride.


And the woman “travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.” is not a physical, literal birth. This travailing in birth and delivery pains represents the spiritual adversary preventing the birth of the Messiah-man child in the woman Israel. These demonic spirits preventing this woman from birthing the man child from being born is represented by Paul and the Sanhedrin council denying the Messiah and prosecuting the assembly of true believers of Yahshua, which is the birth of the man child. (Acts 3-8th Chaps).


Now the second wonder in heaven refers to Lucifer and his host. It is starting here because this is the beginning of the age of Grace and Satan has begun his work as he did in the beginning of the first age, ante diluvian, with Adam & Eve in the Garden of Eden.


“3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.”


Now The Apostle John describes the devil as a great red dragon. It has seven heads with crowns upon them representing the seven kingdoms that were setup in heaven that had all power in heaven. Now Moses didn’t describe Satan this way.  He just said he was more subtle than any beast of the earth. These kingdoms were duplicated in earth plane. Lucifer showed them to the Messiah in the wilderness, during the 40 days and nights he was tested of the adversary (Matt. 4th Chap.). 


Now the 10 horns on the beast are 10 kingdoms in heaven that had no power, because Lucifer did not give it to them at that time. Likewise, what is in heaven is in the earth (Rom. 1:19-20) and these 10 heads will be given power in the last days. In fact they are already being given power. Guess who? The Red dragon in heaven is also in the earth being played out by Red China. 


Now the Red Dragon China will be defeated as they were in heaven by the archangel Michael and his host as it was played out in heaven. More on this in later issues.


Apostle John goes on to describe in more detail about his host. The dragon’s tail or lie drew out a third part of the angelic host that Elohim created. This host believed in Lucifer’s dogma, but were given no power in heaven.   In my words they just went along with Lucifer to get what they could get. Just as nations today go along with the Red Dragon China for financial and economic benefits. More on this later. 


Now John said in his vision “the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.”


As stated earlier, the Satanic spirits in the Sanhedrin Council were Yahshua’s persecutors. They had devised the lie concerning Yahshua resurrection before the out pouring of the HOLY SPIRIT, where they “stood before the  woman ....ready to devour her child.” Matt. 28:11-15


John said the child being born in men’s hearts and minds was to rule nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.


Now the ruling of the nations with iron is not to be interpreted from a physical standpoint. The fourth beast that Daniel saw in his dream had great iron teeth (Dan. 7:7). This beast represented the Roman Empire which ruled the world at the time of John’s vision.


Now the man child spiritually being the ruler of nations didn’t change the physical rulership of the Roman empire. The true ruler of nations is the man child in men’s consciousness.  He was to destroy the beastly state of mind (with the Satanic Spirits) in men and cast them out. Meaning they were beast like and had to be ruled by iron to tame the beast in man. More on this later.


John said the woman fled into wilderness, which by the tabernacle pattern is the Holy Place. This is where the women is nourished for 1260 days as the children of Israel were nourished in the wilderness for 40 years. See Elohim text. Now 1260 days is 3 1/2 years the Messiah was in His Ministry nourishing Israel with the gospel. Note 40 years of Israel in the Wilderness is fulfilled by the 40 days the Messiah was tested of Satan.


“6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.”
  
Notice the quantum jump in John’s vision of the woman in the wilderness giving birth to the man child to the war in heaven. Most are unable to connect the dots.  


Now John said the vision’s next scene was the vision of the war in heaven between Michael and his host, after receiving a commission from Elohim to cast out the dragon and his angels from heaven. In the same fashion Moses received his commission from the angel at the  burning bush to go down into Egypt and tell Pharaoh, the dragon (Ezk. 29:3), to let Israel go, the twelve tribes or twelve orders of angels. Do you understand what is in heaven is played out in the earth?


“7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, 8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.”


Now the dragon deceived the whole world consisting of the whole angelic host. The physical creation was not inhabited at this time. Meaning the Dragon placed the angels in subjection to his lie. The dragon was cast out of heaven as Pharaoh and his host were cast down in the Red Sea by Moses.


“9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.”


John said that he heard a loud voice say in his heavenly vision: “..,,Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: “


Here John is seeing salvation and the kingdom setup in heaven after the the expulsion of the dragon and host from heaven. Now in the same manner as Elohim setup the kingdom in heaven, Yahshua setup the kingdom of Yahweh in the earth plane with the crucifixion of Himself. This is the blood of the lamb which the blood of the lamb in Egypt reflected.


Now the “.... the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.,” It was Lucifer/Satan, who accused Job of being Elohim’s faithful servant because of the blessing Elohim had given him. Satan said if Elohim took the blessings from him, Job would curse Him. This is how the accuser of the brethren works.


Now they overcame him by the blood of the lamb, the type being the lamb slain in Egypt. Those that accept His death and believe in His resurrection in the face of death receive eternal life.


11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. 12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.”


Here the heavens are the angels that dwell there in a heavenly state of mind. They are warning the dwellers of the earth and of the sea, that the devil came came down to plague them knowing his time is short. From the death of the lamb to now it is about 2 days or 2,000 years earth time, for 1 day earth time = 1,000 years heaven time. 2 Peter 2:8. So 2 days = 2,000 years heavenly time.


“13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.”


Now this verse in John’s vision took a quantum leap back in time from heaven and described this woman with the man child being persecuted by the dragon. Notice it is not by accident that Red Dragon China is persecuting Christians and other religious group in our time. All religions are banned in China and the people are told to worship the CCP Communist Party and its leader as gods.

“14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.” 


This time period, time, times, and half years, is the 3 1/2 years given to Satan in this age after the Messiah’s 3 1/2 years in His ministry and His crucifixion and resurrection and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. These 3 1/2 years of Yahshua’s ministry + 3 1/2 years for Satan (1260 years) = 7 years. All of this points to the completion of the purpose of Yahshua.
Now the two wings given to the woman that she may fly into the spirit are the Law and the Prophets or the Old Testament that testifies to Yahshua the Messiah (Jn 5:39).


“15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood. 16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.”


Now the water cast out of the serpent’s mouth and carrying the woman away is his lies, political and religious dogma. Communism, socialism, Capitalism, etc., all want to build a kingdom and rule the world.


“17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.”


Now the Dragon made war with the woman and the man child we discussed earlier with Paul and the religious leaders of Israel persecuting the the believers of Yahshua Acts 7-8 chap). In this age it also occurred with the roman Catholic Church persecution Inquisition. In 1300 the Pope said in the Unam Santum every creature must be subject to the Roman Pontiff.

Revelation 13 the Chapter
See PLIM Spiritual Class Notes, Sunday, June 7 and 28, 2020


Now this chapter’s continuity follows the 12th chapter where the serpent makes war with the woman giving birth to the man child. The scene begins with John saying: 


“1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.”


In this verse John is standing on the sand of the sea (resurrection state) and saw the beast with seven heads and ten horns with crowns upon them. Here notice the crowns are on the horns and not on the heads. Meaning the power has changed from the heads to the horns. At this time the countries representing the horns are not clear. But they would be those that are aligned with Russia (Bear) and China (Dragon). There are those on the Europe, Asia continent, possible Africa and South America.. Romain Pastor Ditrimu vision and other dreams and visions will give more clues. The Christians have given clues but they have all failed.


“2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. 3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.”


Now John began to describe the beast he saw in his vision. These beasts were the same beasts that Daniel saw his vision (Daniel 7), but they were all combined into one beast. The beast had a body of a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion. What appears to be missing is the fourth beast of Daniel representing Rome. “After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns. I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things (Dan. 7:7-8).” 


John said the Dragon gave this beast his authority. This is the Dragon’s pinnacle, building his kingdom world wide. This beast being one prefigured the nations coming together to form the one world government. Now the Roman Empire was the closest to form a world government. 


 Now the Roman Empire was divided numerous times and came back together in a new form. Emperor Diocletian divided Rome into east and west empires with the capitals at Constantinople and Rome, respectively. Both halves failed. The west failed in 476 AD, the east lasted another thousand years due to a stable currency, but failed to Ottoman Islam in 1453 AD. The Pagan Rome failed to the Roman Church along various kings (Charlemagne 814 AD trying to reestablish the Holy Roman Empire. Finally, the popes established their power and Martin Luther comes along with the Protestant movement and split the church empire. Currently, this wound has been healed by the various 40-30 years of Ecumenical councils from Pope John II to the current Pope Francis.


“4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?”


The Dragon is the Roman Empire that later became the Papacy ruled by Constantine which gave power to kings for a period of time, where no nation could make war with the Popes. The Kings ended and nations began to be governed by democracy and republics.


5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. 6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.”


In this verse John is seeing the popes being given power to exalt himself. For example Pope Boniface VIII said in his bull Unam Sanctam “affirming the authority of the pope as the heir of Peter and Vicar of Christ over all human authorities, spiritual and temporal.” 


See Vol. 4, p. 101, “MOREOVER, WE DECLARE, SAY, DEFINE, AND PRONOUNCE THAT EVERY BEING SHOULD BE SUBJECT TO THE ROMAN PONTIFF, TO BE AN ARTICLE OF NECESSARY FAITH.” Pope Boniface VIII in his Unam Sanctam. See Catholic Encyclopedia, Vol. XV, pages 126, 127.” 
Now the 42 months I covered earlier in Rev. 11th Chapter, along with Dr. H.C. Kinley in Vol 4, p. 65-66.


“7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. 8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. 9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.”


Now the war with the saints or sons began at Pentecost and continued thru this age with the Roman Catholic Inquisition. In the Wikipedia “Pope Gregory's original intent for the Inquisition was a court of exception to inquire into and glean the beliefs of those differing from Catholic teaching, and to instruct them in the orthodox doctrine. It was hoped that heretics would see the falsity of their opinion and would return to the Roman Catholic Church.” The Inquisition has its origins in the early organized persecution of non-Catholic Christian religions in Europe. In 1184 Pope Lucius III sent bishops to southern France to track down heretics called Catharists,
All on earth at this time worshipped the popes until Martin Luther Protested this.


“10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.”


John is seeing all those leaders that led others into captivity, they themselves becoming captive by their own corruption. For example, Pharaoh, king of Egypt, had Israel in captivity and because of their captivity he couldn’t let Israel go. Pharaoh followed them into the Red Sea and met his demise by not letting Israel go as he was instructed (Exo. 15th Chap.).


11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. 12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.”


Now the Roman Catholics had a metamorphous. They  had the manner of the lamb but spoke as a wolf in sheep’s clothing. This means the old dogmatic approach died away to a more liberal dogma as was initiated by Pope John XXIII.
Even with all the child molesting by RCC, the die hearts continue to worship there.


“13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, 14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. 15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.”


As Moses and Aaron in Egypt showed signs and wonders of Yahweh’s power, Pharaoh of Egypt had his magicians, Jannes and Jambres, also show their wonders initially with the first three signs. But the during last 7 plagues they had no power. The power of fire that comes down from heaven are the nuclear weapons, rods of Gods, energy weapons to be used in the next war.


Even today the New World Order wants to slaughter all Christians, all others religions, destroy the Bibles and bring in a new religion, the word of Lucifer/Satan. See reference on p. 10 to China’s leader making himself god. 


“16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.”


For almost 2,000 years after John’s stupendous vision no one fully understands the mark of the beast number and how it would be fulfilled. 


It wasn’t until 2020 AD = 1960 AD + 50 years jubilee +10 years
CoVID-19 fraudulent Pandemic. Collapse of economy.


Note: 1971 AD President Nixon took the dollar off gold standard + 50 years = 2021


See Vol. 4, p. photo between pages 60-61.
Many theologians knew the Pontiff title had the mark of the beast on it.


See Vol. 4, p. 73. “We have now only to inquire what was the name by which Nimrod was known as the god of the Chaldean Mysteries. That name, as we have seen, was Saturn. Saturn and Mystery are both Chaldean words, and they are correlative terms. As Mystery signifies the Hidden system, so Saturn signifies the Hidden god.* To those who are initiated the god was revealed; to all else he was hidden. Now, the name Saturn in Chaldee is pronounced Satur; but, as every Chaldee scholar knows, consists only of four letters, thus Stur. This name contains exactly the Apocalyptic number 666: --
S = 60
T = 400
U = 6
R = 200

This is the numberical explanation in reference to the True Son of Perdition or Satan, having the MARK of “666” in his FOREHEAD and in his HAND, (see Revelation 14:9-10; Revelation 13:18) who, being A MAN, is now revealed to be the Pope of Rome.


It’s important that you go back and read the section on the Roman Catholic Church, THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY WORKING IN THIS PRESENT AGE, Vol 4, p. 59-80.

Rev. 14th Chapter


The 13th Chapter ends with the beast and his mark. Now Rev. 14th chapter begins with a quantum jump back in time to the migratory trek and the children of Israel.  It begins in Canaan Land with the mystery of the 144,000 and the Lamb.


Rev. 14:1 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.”


Now the key to understanding who is the 144,000 and the lamb is Joshua 24th chap and not the interpretation of the Jehovah Witnesses. I will quote the first seven verses.


“And Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to Shechem, and called for the elders of Israel, and for their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers; and they presented themselves before God. 2 And Joshua said unto all the people, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Your fathers dwelt on the other side of the flood in old time, even Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nachor: and they served other gods. 3 And I took your father Abraham from the other side of the flood, and led him throughout all the land of Canaan, and multiplied his seed, and gave him Isaac. 4 And I gave unto Isaac Jacob and Esau: and I gave unto Esau mount Seir, to possess it; but Jacob and his children went down into Egypt. 5 I sent Moses also and Aaron, and I plagued Egypt, according to that which I did among them: and afterward I brought you out. 6 And I brought your fathers out of Egypt: and ye came unto the sea; and the Egyptians pursued after your fathers with chariots and horsemen unto the Red sea. 7 And when they cried unto the Lord, he put darkness between you and the Egyptians, and brought the sea upon them, and covered them; and your eyes have seen what I have done in Egypt: and ye dwelt in the wilderness a long season....(Josh 1-7 -14).”


You should notice the pronoun I in each verse. The I is referring to Joshua the son of nun. Someone may say Joshua is 110 years old when he is speaking to all of Israel. How can this be? How could he have taken Abraham which occurred over 500 years earlier?


Now the Jews asked Yahshua the Messiah the same question.


“Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.” John 8:57-58 KJV


Here is an instance of Yahshua/Elohim appearing to Abraham with his two angels to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah.


“And the Lord appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day; And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground, And said, My Lord, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant:” Genesis 18:1-3 KJV


Here we have two instances of Elohim in the flesh before He appears for salvation sake as Yahshua the Messiah. 


Dr. Kinley wrote a section in Vol. 1, p. 85-86 on the 144,000. “THE HUNDRED AND FORTY AND FOUR THOUSAND THAT PASSED OVER THE RIVER JORDAN WAS TYPICAL OF A NEW BIRTH”


Now the 144,000 were the number of 12,000 from each tribe of Israel born in the wilderness. They were the first born generation. All those that came up out of Egypt died in the Wilderness because of disobedience (Num. 14:22-23, 26-35; 1 Cor. 10:5; Heb. 3:17-18).


So in the vision in the 14th of Revelation Apostle John said he saw a Lamb standing on “mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.” 


So, the lamb John is seeing with the 144,00 is Elohim/Joshua the Son of Nun which is confirming the 24th chp. of Joshua.


Now Mt. Sion is the transliterate of Mt Zion.  According to Wikipedia, Mount Zion is a hill in Jerusalem, located just outside the walls of the Old City. 


John said in  


“Rev. 14:2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps: 3 And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.”


Remember, this is taking place by the tabernacle pattern in Mt Sion/Zion which is in the Most Holy Place in the migratory trek, reflecting heavenly Jerusalem and the throne of Elohim.  What takes place around the throne of Yahweh is voices of thunder, harps playing, etc. See Rev. 5th Chapter.


Now the song the 144,000 sang was a repeat of the Song of Moses (Deut. 32:1-43) before he was shown Canaan Land from the wilderness atop of Mt. Nebo. Here are the first eight verses.  


“Deut. 32 1-8, Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth. 2 My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass: 3 Because I will publish the name of the Lord: ascribe ye greatness unto our God. 4 He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he. 5 They have corrupted themselves, their spot is not the spot of his children: they are a perverse and crooked generation. 6 Do ye thus requite the Lord, O foolish people and unwise? is not he thy father that hath bought thee? hath he not made thee, and established thee? 7 Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask thy father, and he will shew thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee. 8 When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel.”


“Rev. 14:4-5 These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb. 5 And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.”


John said the 144,000 were not defiled of women nor had guile in their mouth meaning they were not idol worshippers as their forefathers who came out of Egypt (Exo. 32nd Chap.) nor did the 144,000 pray and sing to idols. They followed the lamb as their forefathers followed the cloud that was a pillar of fire by night and a cloud by day (Exo. 13:21-22). 


“Rev. 14:6-7 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.”


Now John is seeing a quantum leap forward in time from Israel in Canaan Land to almost 1600 years later to the coming of the Messiah preaching the gospel and His disciples preaching to all people and tongues, after His crucifixion, resurrection and the outpouring of the holy spirit. 


“Rev. 14:8 And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.”


Here again is another quantum leap forward that John is seeing from Canaan Land to the Messiah to the fall of Babylon and the nations drinking of her wine. So we jump from Yahshua the Messiah and His Apostles preaching the gospel after the outpouring of the Holy Spirit to the fall of Babylon which John is describing.


Rev. 14:9-13 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, 10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: 11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. 13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.”


Now John is seeing the continuation of Mystery Babylon falling and those that have received the Mark of the Beast (explained in the Rev. 13th Chapter) in their hands and foreheads, receiving their penalty in the Lake of Fire and Brimstone and torment which is before the throne of Yahweh. John describes those that died believing in Yahshua would receive rest from their labors in the vineyard of souls.  


“Rev. 14:14-19 And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle. 15 And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe. 16 And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.17 And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle. 18 And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe. 19 And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.”


Finally, Rev. 14:14-20 verses above describes primarily the harvesting of men’s souls using the analogy of the vines of the earth and grapes typifying men’s souls who have fully matured. The man sitting on the cloud with the sickle and crown on his head is Yahshua the Messiah harvesting the Jew first (Rev. 14:16) and then the Gentiles (Rev. 14:17).  In the 18th verse, it says an angel came out from the altar, that’s the Holy Place or golden alter of incense. Now the fire that he had power over was from the golden alter (which is the Holy Spirit).


Now correctly interpreting this analogy using the Law and Prophets, Isa. 63:2 said wherefore art thou red in your apparel, like him that treadeth in the vine fat. 


In the law Gen. 49:11 he says we washes his garments in wine and his clothes in the blood of grapes. 


In the fulfillment the Messiah said He is the true vine (John 15:5) and you are the branches.
“John 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.”


“Rev. 14:20 And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.”


In Rev. 14:20, the winepress is outside the city and its pressing the grapes which we see represents the souls of men. As the Messiah said, He was the true wine and He said I in you bear forth much fruit. So the blood that flowed and rosed as high as the horse’s bridle, sixteen hundred status which is approximately 200 miles, is not to be taken literally.  It refers to all the souls harvested from Pentecost to the present time. 


This harvest ends Rev. 14th Chapter and John begins the 15th Chapter with the seven last plagues, that further explains the wrath of Yahweh.
