There is now no sanctuary in the city indicating that true Christianity contains no form or exterior presence of religion, no buildings, vestments, holy articles or implements, no religious practices, duties, disciplines, and formalities, and nothing that is deemed by man to be sacrosanct. Rather, Jesus is our sanctuary, our center of worship. We should always be found to now be worshippingin the...

This is a picture used to communicate a message. For instance, the people of God will NOT be walking on literal streets of gold. The city is an image, a picture, of the people of God (the wife of Christ) and not a destination. The wall of jasper is emblematic of sacrifice (bloody sacrifice). The city pure gold speaks of the divinity of the wife of Christ, as they will be like Him and share in His...

The Measurements is a powerful statement of ownership. The golden reed is a symbol of those through whom the Spirit flows to bring illumination to the nations. This is a divine tool, symbolized by gold. The measurement of the city speaks of the perfect fullness which occurs as the bondservants of Christ are joined in unity with the entirety of the Godhead. The wife of Christ will be perfect, full,...

The city is a refuge for the Righteous and t...

John’s attention is directed to all those who were willing to let God help them choose to be Called and Chosen and Faithful : the bride, the wife of the Lamb. Like the Lamb of God, the children of God are called to a life that is destined for sacrifice and death – those ongoing afflictions that are experienced by His body, the true church. It is a form of deep intimate fellowship. John is carried...

The “ unbelieving ” refers to those in the household of God who do not choose to exercise saving faith, those who do not love the truth. They do not bet their lives on the truth that Jesus is Yahweh Adonai , the Lord our God Almighty and they do not bet their lives on His name.

Jesus said, "They have been done. I now am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. In short, everything is playing out exactly as He has decreed.

Jesus’ blood was spilled so that the covenant of law can be satisfied in all of us; Christ is the end of the law for all who are now believing. He gave us a new commandment, to love with His agape love (which means He who is agape must love through us). The Spirit gives His people new tongues, a language spoken in the spiritual realms. He creates a new heaven and earth with a new Jerusalem which e...

The former things (the covenant of law) have passed away,” and in the future there will be no more tears, death, mourning, crying, and pain—a picture of ETERNITY THEN . He will reach into our soul and anoint the source of our wounds with oil relieving the pain and healing our traumas. Death will choose to be no more. The reason for mourning, crying, and pain will be removed, for this angel’s job w...

“… and the sea is now no more .” The sea represents the restless churnings and tumult caused by the chaos of humanity. God has stilled the waters. In Him, we can know His rest and live in His peace. Though believing we can enter His rest when we surrender to the fact that Jesus is Yahweh Adonai, the absolute Lord and our Prince of Peace. The New Jerusalem now coming down out of heaven is a picture...

At the end of the 1,000-year period, heaven and the earth will be wiped out of existence, destroyed by intense fire and heat; in its place, Jesus creates a new heaven and earth, which will be a place of happiness and joy for all humanity. In this new creation will be a glorious city, the New Jerusalem (which is how He images the Bride of Christ, as a city, a place of refuge and a safe haven for th...

The books were opened, revealing all the days of the lives of those standing before the Great White Throne Judgment Seat. To get into heaven, your name must be written in the Book of Life . The records are kept so that the eternity which a person chooses is unabashedly recorded and the judgment they face will be proportional to their deeds. The last enemy, death and hades (angelic beings) will be...

The Great White Throne Judgment. Jesus is the judge, and every knee will bow, and tongue confess that He is Yahweh . Earth and heaven are obliterated before Him as all things in heaven and earth were shaken so that which is permanent may remain. Death and Hades and the sea will surrender all those in their control. Nothing will be hidden in this judgment; all will be revealed. Standing before the...

The dragon was seized and locked in the Abyss for 1,000 years, Satan is then released, and the devil deceives those nations, Gog and Magog, those with communistic influences, at the four corners of the earth, to gather them for battle, their number is like the sand of the sea. These nations hold to a humanistic ideology emphasizing human agencies operating in a collective rather than divine interv...

In the events unleashed with the seventh bowl of wrath Yahweh altered the fundamental construct of the world’s eco-system. Mountains were crushed, islands disappeared, cities were split, and huge hailstones pummeled the earth. The Sun will no longer provide its light as Jesus will be the light. Life will be extended, and the earth will be fruitful. This will be an amazing time of peace, rest, safe...

Blessed and set apart he who is now having a part in the resurrection the first ; over these the second death now has no power, but they choose in the future to be priests of God and of Christ and in the future, they reign with Him for a thousand years. This speaks of the rapture. “The resurrection the first” speaks of what occurs first in time with nothing else coming before it in time or in a se...

The Called Chosen and Faithful will sit on thrones in judgment, and over them the second death (which is the Lake of Fire) has no power. They will be priests of God and Christ. They lived and reigned with Christ for 1,000 years. And John saw the souls of those afflicted because of their testimony in Christ and the word of God. As with the church of Smyrna, this affliction produces beauty and relea...

From wherever the Satan had been hiding, he has now been found and captured. The dragon gave up his power, throne and great authority to the Beast and the Beast has been thrown into the Lake of Fire, leaving Satan vulnerable without his entourage of protection who ran interference for him. Satan is sealed in the Abyss for 1,000 years, so he will not deceive the nations when Christ rules upon this...

The aftermath of war. Upon Jesus’ return, The Beast was seized, disposed of instantly, and with him the False Prophet. All it took was a word.  They are thrown alive into the lake of fire which is now burning with brimstone. This fire was originally prepared for the devil and his angels. The rest of those who came against Jesus were caused to be killed with the sword proceeding from Jesus’ mouth....

The War. The Kings of the Earth will drive their armies against Jerusalem (at Yahweh’s bequest), but then it gets crazy and bloody. It’s a time of doom for the nations. Yahweh will punish the world by fire and by his sword. He will judge the earth, and many will be killed by him. “My decision is to gather nations, to assemble kingdoms, to pour out upon them my indignation, all my burning anger; fo...

And on His robe and on His thigh, He now has a name caused to having been written, "KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. This is an emblem which speaks of ultimate power and authority. When acts, all will come under obedience and subjection to Him. The spirits in midheaven are called in preparation for the great slaughter of humanity and the demonic as demons will feast on the flesh of slain demons a...

From His mouth chooses to now come a large sharp sword, so that with it He may strike down the nations. It signifies the deadly and sharp nature of the truth, as His word is truth, and it always accomplishes its purposes. But in the future, He will rule with a rod of unbending and unbreakable iron. Those appointed to death will be smite; those appointed to life will be shepherded. “… and He now tr...

When Jesus returns, He does not come alone, the armies of heaven are with Him on white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. His angels come with Him and His wife – all His holy ones. The Called and Chosen and Faithful (the wife) have been transformed into His image and share in His righteousness and purity. The white horse symbolizes victory before the war even starts. This is their vic...
