Story 10 — Revelation 13 and 14
Earthly Tabernacle — Outer Court — Government Side
The True Government and the False — Both Visible in the Same Room
The prior stories showed man and Satan both arriving in the exile land outside the tabernacle. Story 10 is the first story that shows in detail what the exile land actually looks like. What the beast governments are. What the religious governing system built from the down payment looks like. And what the true Government of God looks like standing against it.
This story sits at position 3 — Government — the Outer Court on the earth side. The same room as Story 3 of the heavenly tabernacle where God called out to the seven churches. Both stories are in the Government room. One from heaven looking down. One from earth looking up.
This is the most detailed story in the earthly tabernacle. The beast rising from the sea. The second beast rising from the earth. The mark. The 144,000 with the Lamb. The everlasting gospel. Babylon fallen. The harvest. All of it in one story because the Government room is where everything that has been happening in the exile land is fully visible at once.
Watch for the contrast at every position. The false and the true. The image and the real thing. The mark and the patience. The beast and the Lamb.
Position 4 — Promise — The Pivot — Revelation 14:6-7
(6) 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.
(6) 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,
The angel is flying in the midst of heaven — above everything — at the only position where the complete picture is visible at once. The Promise position. The halfway point. And from there the everlasting gospel goes out to everyone on earth simultaneously.
The everlasting gospel is not a new message. It is the complete pattern — the seven categories, the choosing times, the tabernacle, the down payment and the full payment — finally visible to everyone at once. The same truth that has been running since the Garden now unsealed and going out 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.
Fear God and give glory to him — the hour of his judgment is come. Two groups are out here at the Promise position. The ones looking for God — even if looking at a down payment image of God. And the ones who reject — rejecting an image that was never really the full God anyway. Both groups out here at the same position. Both holding or rejecting the same down payment. Neither one has seen the full thing clearly until this moment. The call goes to both. No one excluded.
Worship him that made heaven and earth — the two tabernacles. The heavenly tabernacle and the earthly tabernacle. Both made by the same God. Both showing the same pattern. The reader has just walked through the heavenly tabernacle stories and is now in the earthly tabernacle stories. The God who made both is the one calling out right now.
And the sea and the fountains of waters — these are not decorative. The sea is the Red Sea — the Mountain choosing time. God brought the people through the sea to get to the Mountain. The fountains of waters are the Jordan river — the Roman Court choosing time. Jesus standing in the river. The living water. The Voice from heaven announcing the next form of God.
So worship him that made heaven and earth and the sea and the fountains of waters is pointing back through every choosing time. The Garden. The Mountain. The Roman Court. The same God at every choosing time calling out right now — before the hour of judgment arrives.
The gospel going out here in the Promise position — and the content of that gospel is visible and explained in position 3 with the virgins. The virgin here is the male figure who did not cling to the woman. The ones who overcame the woman. They are the proof that the gospel works. They are the living evidence of what the good news produces — people who followed the Lamb instead of the woman.
And the woman from Story 8 — the first story of the earthly tabernacle, the Innocence side of the Holy of Holies — the greatest Given placed in man’s hands in Innocence — is the one who draws people away from the gospel. Not through force. Through her own genuine value. She is real. She is precious. She is exactly what is needed in the exile land. That is what makes her so effective at drawing people in.
Each earthly tabernacle story’s position 4 has drawn attention to a different focus:
Story 8 position 4 — Man’s focus. Why we are out here. The exile explained.
Story 9 position 4 — Satan’s focus. His time is short. The urgency.
Story 10 position 4 — God’s focus. The good news going out to all. The same God from every choosing time calling out before the hour arrives.
Positions 3 and 5 — The Outer Court — Government and Law
Position 3 — Government — Revelation 14:1-5
(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. (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 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. (4) 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.
(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.
The true Government. The Lamb standing at the Government position on Mount Sion. The government shall be upon His shoulders — and here He stands at position 3.
The 144,000 with His Father’s name written in their foreheads. The Father’s name is the 7s — the complete pattern. God’s name standing complete in the minds of the ones standing with the Lamb. These are the ones who have the seal of God in their foreheads from trumpet 5 — the ones who understood the unsealing.
(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:
The voice from heaven as many waters and great thunder — the Voice at the choosing times. The same Voice that spoke at the Mountain and at the Jordan now speaking again at the Government position. God returning in the same pattern He always returns in.
(3) And they sung 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.
The new song — only the 144,000 could learn it. The ones who make the thing given after the wrong choice their measurement of God cannot hear it. The unsealed understanding produces a song that the down payment mind cannot access.
(4) 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.
Not defiled with women — virgins. The male figure who did not cling to the woman. Who did not make the survival given their God. Who did not use it to judge who is in and who is out. And more specifically — Abel, Moses, John the Baptist, the thief on the cross. The ones from the choosing times who followed the Lamb to death. One from each choosing time. The firstfruits — the first to say yes when everyone else said no.
Follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. Not following the image of God built from the last choosing time. Following the actual Lamb through every new form He appears in. Even to death.
(5) And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.
No guile in their mouth — without fault before the throne. They did not offer the survival given back to God as worth-ship with conditions attached. Just yes. Clean. Without fault.
Position 5 — Law — Revelation 14:8
(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.
The Law operates. Babylon fallen. The wrong religious governing system removed by the Law running precisely.
A note on the grammar — in English the sentence could be read two ways. Babylon fell and separately a woman caused it. But in the Greek Babylon — G897 — is grammatically feminine. The she and Babylon are the same entity. Babylon is personified as a woman throughout Revelation — most explicitly in Revelation 17:5 where she is called the Mother of Harlots. Babylon is the woman. The city and the woman are the same thing.
Babylon is the religious governing system built around the survival given made into God. Not a world political system. A religious system. The complete religious structure built by people who think the thing given after the wrong choice is the complete God. They do not say this out loud — if you ask them they will say God is bigger than what they know. But then they turn around and use the survival given to govern who is acceptable to God. Who is in and who is out. Who is right and who is wrong. That is Babylon.
She made all nations drink. Not offered. Made. The religious governing system so pervasive that no nation escaped it. Until the Law operates at position 5 and she falls.
Why Position 3 — Government
Position 3 is Government because this is where the true Government and the false government stand opposite each other in the same room. The Lamb on Mount Sion with the 144,000 — the true Government submitted upward to God. And Babylon — the religious governing system built from the survival given — the false government that judged who is in and who is out by its own image. Government is order being established. Here two completely opposite orders are established in the same room simultaneously.
Why Position 5 — Law
Position 5 is Law because Babylon falls by the Law operating precisely. She made all nations drink — and the Law running without exception brings her down. The Law does not negotiate. It does not make exceptions for sincere belief. The religious governing system that used the survival given to judge God falls when the Law reveals what it actually was. The Law exposing and the Law bringing down — both in the same verse.
Positions 3 and 5 — The Outer Court — Government and Law — Folded Together
Position 3 — the Lamb on Mount Sion with the 144,000. The Father’s name in their foreheads. The new song. The virgins who never drank from the woman. The true Government standing at position 3.
Position 5 — Babylon fallen. The woman who made all nations drink — fallen. The religious governing system removed by the Law running precisely.
Folded together — position 3 and position 5 show the complete contrast in the Government room. The virgins who never drank from the woman — standing with the Lamb. The woman who made all nations drink — fallen. The ones with no guile in their mouth — and the religious system that poured out fornication to all nations. The true Government and the false religious government. Both visible in the same room at the same time.
Positions 2 and 6 — The Holy Place — Self-Awareness and Grace-in
Position 2 — Self-Awareness — Revelation 13:11-18
(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. (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. (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.
Part 1 — The Two Beasts — Who They Are and What They Look Like
(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.
The first sentence unpacked — another beast coming up out of the earth with two horns like a lamb speaking as a dragon. Six individual parts — one little part at a time — all pointing to one thing:
1 — Another beast: At least two beasts and this is not the first. The Greek word translated as beast is therion — a wild animal, savage, dangerous, and untamed creature. Not a domesticated animal.
2 — Coming up out of the earth: Man was made from the dust of the ground. The earth is his origin. He comes from it and returns to it. This beast belongs to the earth realm — the exile land man has been living in since the Garden.
3 — Two: The Self-Awareness category. Right where we are now in the pattern. After the fall man became aware of his nakedness. Man became Self-Aware. The exact category we are in — perfectly placed.
4 — Horns: The Greek word keras — horns — symbolically strength, power, and kingly authority. Man after the fall still carries the authority he was given in the Garden — but now operating from Self-Awareness rather than Innocence.
5 — Like a lamb: Jesus as a man is the lamb. So a man is pointed to here. Man was made in the image of God and placed in the Garden to reflect God’s life. He looks like the right thing. The lamb image still visible in fallen man — made in God’s image — but the Innocence that made it real is gone.
6 — And he spake as a dragon: At the fall Adam spoke exactly like the serpent. The dragon’s voice coming through fallen man. Not the Voice of God. Not the real thing. The survival given speaking in place of the real Voice.
Who is the second beast — put all six together and you see one thing. Man after the fall living in Self-Awareness. Man rejected a life full of the power of Innocence and ended up full of the power of Self-Awareness. Every decision from this point dominated by staying alive as long as possible until death overtakes him. No Tree of Life qualities. Only the beast definition visible in all of world history — savage, godless, building oppressive kingdoms and powers. And speaking like the dragon not God.
Who is the first beast — the complete world governing system running on the dragon’s power. Every empire. Every kingdom. Every nation that has governed without the life of God through the entire walking out half of the tabernacle — from Adam all the way to right now standing outside in Man’s World. The dragon — Satan — is the source and power behind it all. He gave the beast his power and his seat and his authority. The beast is what that power produces when it runs through world history without God in it.
(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.
The second beast exercises all the power of the first beast. Man exercises all the power of the first beast — the same godless self-preserving power that runs through every world government — because man and the beast both fell the same way and both operate from the same source.
Satan and man repeat a pattern. Satan and man using the same power of Self-Awareness to do the same thing with the down payment they were given — trying to bring life back as close as possible to the place they were kicked out of. This requires self-preservation and not the life they were kicked out of. So man exercises all the power of the first beast — the godless self-preserving power that has been running through world history from the beginning.
The deadly wound healed — the governing authority that was lost when Satan was kicked out of heaven restored in the exile land. The headship back. The system running again. Who can fight it — it looks exactly like what government should be. Nobody knows it is running on the dragon’s power.
Part 2 — The Works and Power of the Beast — A Fake Life to Imitate God’s Life
(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.
Man makes an image of God based on the last time God was rejected. That image of God contained in man’s mind is — the voice, the physical life form, and the survival given. After the choosing time these are the last things man heard and saw and was given — these three are the image of the rejected God. But God will return next time with a new voice and a different physical life form.
So today man has a Trinity — the Father as the last voice, the Son as the last physical life form, and the Holy Spirit as the last survival given and down payment. While the Son was on earth He was producing real God’s life everywhere He went. That was real life as real life walked among man. Now after the choosing time the religious system must make an image of the one that was pierced — but He lived after that. The Christian religious system tells you that you must make an image of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as God. Man is doing right now what Revelation said the beast would command you to do — make an image of the wounded by a sword and did live Jesus along with the Father who sent Him and the Holy Spirit He gave.
So the Christian religious system does all kinds of things and tells you to do all kinds of things and you will have the life of God in you around you whatever. You judge everything by their image of life. All their works are life — but this is the false life that can never be the real life that was rejected. It is gone but it will return at another choosing time. Man rejected and killed the real life.
The three post choosing time Trinities that man carries — each one built from the Voice known at the choosing time, the physical life form that was rejected, and the survival given for the new land:
The 1st Church had — The Creator. The Tree of Life rejected. Tilling.
The 2nd Church had — The Deliverer. The Cloud and Fire on the Mountain rejected. Laws, Government, Tabernacle.
The 3rd Church had — The Father. The Son rejected. Holy Spirit.
These are the same three churches addressed in Story 3 of the heavenly tabernacle — the Government side of the Outer Court — the same room seen from the other side. The heavenly story showed God calling out to each group. The earthly story shows what each group built from the rejection. Same room. Same three groups. Same pattern. Both sides of the Outer Court now visible at once.
Part 3 — The Mark and the Force of the Beast
(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.
The mark is using three things as the real life of God — the survival given and down payment, paired with the last voice of God and the last physical life standing before man and then rejected by man. Man then makes an image of all three together and judges with it as if they have the life of God and the understanding of God based on those three things.
The Christian religious system tells you that you must worship the image they created based on the past choosing time of God or you are out — dead to us, dead to God, in a proverbial sense, killed. This is exactly how the verse ends — the beast causes that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
The do not touch principle is in effect after the rejection of the physical life form by the rejectors of that life form.
Adam was not allowed to touch the Tree of Life after his rejection of it.
The people of Moses’ day were not allowed to touch the Mountain that God was on, and anyone that touched the Ark of the Covenant died.
The people of Jesus’ day were not allowed to touch Him after He was rejected.
You cannot physically grab hold of the life form after the rejection — you had your chance at the choosing time. Now you must wait with your down payment for the full payment to return in full life form at the next choosing time.
(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.
Why 666 — Six is Grace-in — the realm change. Three sixes — three realm changes. One at each choosing time. Adam was kicked out of the Holy of Holies. Moses’ people were kicked out of the Holy Place. The Jews were kicked out of the Outer Court. Three realm changes out. Three times the Grace-in position operated in the wrong direction — not bringing man in but sending man out.
And man is now standing outside at position 4 out in Man’s World outside the tabernacle — the result of three realm changes, three 6s — three realm changes going the wrong way.
Why Threescore — we always hear the numbers 666 which is true because threescore means three twenties which is the same as 6. But why is the threescore there? If we apply the category number rule this would be 3 and 2 — the only category number in there. Three pairs of 2 — pointing to the folded 7 categories and the three pairs of 2 that form the three rooms of the tabernacle. If you can see the pattern of God coming to man and man rejecting Him in the full seven Spirits of God and the folded tabernacle you will see God as He is now and not judge Him by the past.
Position 6 — Grace-in — Revelation 14:9-12
(9) 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.
(9) 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,
The mark of the beast is the woman — the survival given — the image of God you build from the last version of God you saw. The forehead is where that image lives — the mind shaped by the survival given made into God. The hand is what you do based on that image.
They did this to Jesus. They used their image of God — the Law, the Government, and their idea of the Tabernacle — to have Jesus put to death. The image of the sacrifice system, the bronze altar, the whole governing structure they were given at the Mountain — all of it used as the measuring stick to condemn the one who came to fill it.
(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.
Going back to position 5 — Babylon made all nations drink of her fornication. Now the result — you drank from your image of God, you drank from the survival given, so now you drink the results of that rejection. Same cup. Same drinking. But now it is the wrath of God without mixture.
And the torment is in the presence of the Lamb. Not somewhere away from God. The Lamb is the permanent witness. Still standing at the altar where the sacrifice happened. Still there. The smoke ascending in His presence forever — the wrong choice visible to the one who offered the right choice — forever.
(12) Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
And closing — the patience of the saints. Here are they that keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. Both. The survival given — the commandments — and the unsealed book — the faith of Jesus. Still keeping both. Still waiting. Still patient at the Promise position.
Why Position 2 — Self-Awareness
Position 2 is Self-Awareness because this is where man becomes aware of himself as separate from God. It is where the image is built — man aware of what he lost and trying to reconstruct it from the survival given. The second beast coming up out of the earth with two horns like a lamb — the number two placed precisely at position 2 — Self-Awareness operating exactly as it always has. Man aware of what was lost. Man building the image from what he has left.
Why Position 6 — Grace-in
Position 6 is Grace-in because this is the realm change — something moving from one state to another. The consequence of the image is the realm change into the wrath of God. But for the ones who held both the survival given and the unsealed book — Grace-in is the realm change into the full life of God returning to fill the down payment. The Holy Place shows both realm changes simultaneously. The wrong one and the right one. The image that leads to the wrath — and the patience that leads to the full payment. Both visible in the same room at the same time.
Positions 2 and 6 — The Holy Place — Self-Awareness and Grace-in — Folded Together
Position 2 — man building the image. The survival given assembled into the Trinity of the past God. The religious governing system animated and made to speak. The mark given. Everyone required to accept the image or be separated. Man doing all of this sincerely — not knowing he is building a beast — because the survival given is the most precious thing he has ever received and it feels like real life.
Position 6 — what that image produces in the end. The same drinking that Babylon forced on all nations at position 5 — now coming back as the wrath of God without mixture. You drank from the image of the past God — now you drink the result of that rejection. The same cup. The same drinking. But now it is the wrath not the comfort. And closing with the patience of the saints — the ones who held both without making the survival given into God.
Folded together — position 2 shows the setup and position 6 shows the consequence. Both in the Holy Place. Position 2 is man building the image and forcing everyone to accept it. Position 6 is the consequence for those who accepted it and the patience of the ones who did not. Both sides of the same room. The setup and the result. The image and the witness. The mark and the patience.
Positions 1 and 7 — The Holy of Holies — Innocence Opposite and God’s Rule
Position 1 — Innocence Opposite — Revelation 13:1-10
(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. (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.
(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.
Innocence fell. And what fills that space without the life of God is right here. The first beast rising from the sea — this is the complete picture of world government without God. Every corrupt empire. Every oppressive kingdom. Every governing system man has built in the exile land. The leopard the bear the lion — Daniel saw these same kingdoms one at a time in Daniel 7. Here they are all combined into one picture. What you get when man governs without God is always the same thing — beast governments. Not because men are monsters but because without the life of God the only thing available is Self-Awareness and self-preservation. That is what produces the beast. Every time.
(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.
The dragon — Satan — is the source behind it all. He gave the beast his power and his seat and his authority. The world governments run on his power. And the world worshipped the dragon through the beast without even knowing the source. They just followed the system.
(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?
The deadly wound healed — the governing authority that was lost when Satan was kicked out of heaven restored in the exile land. The headship back. The system running again. Who can fight it — it looks exactly like what government should be. Nobody knows it is running on the dragon’s power.
(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.
Why 42 months? Everything in Revelation ties back to the 7s, the folded 7s, and the tabernacle. So when you see 42 months think of it as half of 7 years. Half of the complete pattern. Man has walked out of all three rooms and is now standing outside at the halfway point. Three steps out and three steps to go back in. The beast governments have been ruling in that outside half — the space between the last choosing time and the next one. Not forever. Just for the half. Just for the time man is standing outside the tabernacle waiting for God to return and call him back in.
(6) And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. (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.
Now God says what everything the beast does actually is — blasphemy. Not just saying bad things about God. Making something God that is not God. When you take the survival given and make it God you are blaspheming what God really is. The 7s is God’s name. The 7s folded is His tabernacle. The ones who know this in heaven — heaven is the same 7s and the same tabernacle. And the beast system blasphemes all of it by replacing the real thing with the image of the past God.
The book of life — this is not a future ledger. The book of life is God’s real life itself. The Tree of Life right there in the Garden with Adam. The Cloud and Fire on the Mountain. The man Jesus standing in the river. All the same life appearing in a new form at every choosing time. The book of life was opened — or more precisely it started being recorded — when the first given killed the God life in the beginning. The Lamb slain from the foundation of the world means the pattern was always going to produce the sacrifice. It was not a reaction. It was already written.
And we are going through the book of life right now. The unsealing of Revelation is the opening of the book of life — the full pattern of God’s real life visible to everyone simultaneously. The Tree. The Cloud. The Man. All the choosing times. All the survival givens. All the realm changes. The complete history of God coming to man — all of it open and visible right now.
(9) If any man have an ear, let him hear. (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.
If any man have an ear let him hear. The beast that leads this down payment system of making a God of the given — he will go into captivity. The beast that killeth with the sword — calls you dead for not going along with the system — he will be killed with the sword. The words of the Revelation of Jesus Christ with the two edged sword. The paired sword. The dual room. The knowledge of both the survival given and the down payment. That is what kills the beast system. Not a physical sword. The unsealed pattern.
And that is what the patience and the faith of the saints is — holding the open book alongside the survival given. Not fighting. Not judging. Just holding both and waiting for the full life to stand before them. The book of life showing the 7 full Spirits is the life standing before the Holy Spirit. You just have to decide if this is true. The battle is in the open but the saints are not warriors. They are witnesses. Holding the open book of life and watching for the physical life form that perfectly fills the down payment in their hands.
Position 7 — God’s Rule — Revelation 14:13-20
(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. (14) 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. (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.
(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.
The very first thing here is the Voice from heaven saying write. But John was already told to write at the beginning of Revelation and has been writing the whole time. So why does the Voice say write again right here? Because God is painting a miniature picture of the complete return of God inside position 7. The two key elements that must be present at every choosing time — the Voice and the physical life form — both have to appear together in this one spot to show the complete pattern one final time at God’s Rule.
The Voice speaks to John — there is the Voice. The Voice tells him to write — there is the physical life form as he writes it down. And now if this is God at His return what is written must fully fill your survival given and down payment — the Holy Spirit. What John is told to write — rest from your labours. And their works do follow them.
The Holy Spirit was given as the comforter. It leads you into all truth. That is exactly what it has been doing all along — leading man toward this moment. Comforting man through the exile land. Carrying man through the outside half. And now the full Spirit speaks and says — rest. Your labours are behind you. All the trying. All the working to generate the life of God from the down payment. All the leading has led you here. The Holy Spirit has done its job — it led you all the way to this moment. And now the full thing stands before you and the Spirit says — rest. You made it. Your works follow you. Everything the down payment produced in you — the real works done in the real life — they follow you into God’s Rule.
The Bi-nity complete. The Voice. The physical life form in the book. And the full Spirit confirming it — rest.
(14) 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.
And I looked and behold a white cloud. Acts 1:9-11 confirmed it — a cloud received Him out of their sight when He left. And two men in white said this same Jesus shall so come in like manner as ye have seen Him go into heaven. He went up in a cloud. He comes back on a cloud. The same Jesus. The same cloud. In like manner exactly as He left. The golden crown — the true Government at position 3 — the Lamb on Mount Sion — now operating at position 7 in full authority. The sickle in His hand — harvest time has come.
(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.
And another angel came out of the temple. Jesus said destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up. The double tabernacle unsealed in this document is that temple raised up. The heavenly tabernacle and the earthly tabernacle — the complete pattern visible — the full seven stories on each side. The angel coming out of that unsealed temple means the harvest command comes from the temple itself. The harvest time arrived. The earth 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.
And another angel came out from the altar which had power over fire. We are in the Outer Court. The bronze altar. The fire. The same altar where the sacrifice happened. The same position where Jesus was left at the third choosing time. And from that same altar the final harvest command goes out. The altar with fire — position 3 — the Government room — the Outer Court. The command to harvest coming from the exact place where the sacrifice was made.
(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. (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.
Now the vine of the earth. A vine keeps running and puts out roots along the way. Same root same vine same fruit at every location it travels. You cannot tell where a picture of it was taken because it all looks the same along the vine. The down payment running throughout history is exactly that vine. Every generation another root from the same vine. Adam’s group. Moses’ group. The Jews. Christians. All growing from the same root. All producing the same fruit — the image of the past God made into God. All of it death along the way. Grapes and winepress and blood. The vine of the earth gathered and cast into the great winepress of the wrath of God.
And the blood came out to the horse bridles by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs. 1 and 6. Innocence and Grace-in. The realm change that brings Innocence all the way down to earth. God headed all the way down. The full Innocence life of God coming into the earth realm at last.
Why Position 1 — Innocence Opposite
Position 1 is Innocence Opposite — Evil — because Innocence fell and the beast took that position. The counterfeit of the pure starting point. The beast governments, the dragon’s power behind everything, the blasphemy of the survival given made into God, the book of life obscured by the image, the battle hidden because the enemy looked exactly like God. The Holy of Holies on the earthly side shows what happens when Innocence falls and the beast fills that space.
Why Position 7 — God’s Rule
Position 7 is God’s Rule because this is where God decides — the Voice and the physical life form together fully filling the down payment, the full Spirit confirming it with rest, the harvest separating the ones who held both from the ones who only held the image, the vine of the earth cast into the winepress, and Innocence and Grace-in — 1 and 6 — the realm change that brings the full Innocence life of God all the way down to earth.
Positions 1 and 7 — The Holy of Holies — Innocence Opposite and God’s Rule — Folded Together
Position 1 — Innocence Opposite — the category where Innocence fell and the counterfeit took its place. The beast governments. The dragon as the source. The image made to speak. The sealed book of life. The battle hidden inside the religious system that looked exactly like God.
Position 7 — God’s Rule — the Voice and the physical life form arriving together to perfectly fill the down payment. The full Spirit confirming it. Rest. The harvest separating the ones who held both from the ones who only held the image. The vine of the earth cast into the winepress. Innocence and Grace-in — 1 and 6 — the realm change bringing the full Innocence life of God all the way down to earth.
Folded together — position 1 is the problem stated in full. The beast governments. The dragon as the source. The image made to speak. The sealed book of life. The battle hidden inside the religious system that looked exactly like God.
Position 7 is the answer stated in full. The book of life now open. The battle now in the open. The Voice and the physical life form arriving together to perfectly fill the down payment. The full Spirit confirming it. Rest.
And the most precise thing the fold shows — position 1 ends with the patience and the faith of the saints. Position 7 ends with the winepress and the realm change bringing Innocence down to earth. The ones who had the patience — who held the open book alongside the survival given without judging — are the ones who make it from position 1 to position 7. The patience at position 1 is what gets you to the rest at position 7.
The problem and the answer. The sealed and the open. The beast and the harvest. The image and the real thing. Both in the Holy of Holies. Both visible at once in the same room.
