The Book of Revelation – Study #9
In this week’s study, I continue in verse 13 beginning with ‘great voice’. I discuss in verses 13 to 17 how John describes What he sees while he is in this Spirit, the Son of Man!
Some of the verses that I use in this study. Dan. 7:9; Psalms 51:1-7; Dan. 10:6; Dan. 8:18, 27; Isa. 41:4, 44:6; Heb. 4:12
I share an article from Jerusalem where a Rabbi sets a date for the Messiah, i.e. false Messiah. I rant about the covid vaccine
Here are some of my notes from these verses.
Verse 13 clothed with a garment down to the foot = Listen how John Gill describes this, “which some understand of the righteousness of the Messiah; this is called a garment, a wedding garment, the best or first robe, the robe of righteousness; and is fitly compared to one, it being unto, and upon believers,
Gold = symbolizes Deity
Verse 14 white = representing that pureness, that perfect white, no blemishes
Verse 15 brass = represents judgment, for judgment was about to take place!
Verse 16 In the Early Church traditions, we can read of who these 7 angels or pastors are.
Ephesus = Timothy; Smyrna = Polycarp; Pergamos = Either Antipas or Caius; Thyatira = uncertain, could have been Lydia of Acts 16:14; Sardis = Melito; Philadelphia = Demetrius; Laodiceans = Epaphras of Col. 2 or Archippus
Verse 17 I am the First and the Last, other words the Alpha and Omega
So, do we find a similar phrase in the Old Testament? You bet we do! Many times, if you are a regular listener, you will hear me say that Hebrew Word ‘eth’, which is made up of 2 Hebrew letters the Aleph and the Tav. These letters are the first and last of the Hebrew Alphabet.
When you take these 2 letters back to the ancient Hebrew you find something very interesting.
Aleph = is a picture of an ox head and it means strength, strong, power, leader
Tav = is a picture of 2 sticks crossed and it means a sign, covenant seal, mark and cross
the Aleph-Tav is the strength of the covenant of the cross. Only Yahshua Messiah can make that Claim!!!!!!!!!
Allow me to clear up some things before I begin. First of all you will hear me use the words Yahweh and Yahshua Messiah instead of God and Jesus Christ. I found out through the years that the word God may not necessarily mean the same to everyone. For instance, in Freemasonry the number 1 requirement is that you believe in a God. Doesn’t matter what religion you are as long as you believe in a God. I personally like to use these words Yahweh and Yahshua Messiah. To me this puts me in a closer spiritual relationship with our Creator. I am not a so called Messianic Teacher! I come to realize that every time I inhale or exhale I am saying Yahweh. Try saying Yahweh and see if you are not inhaling and exhaling. After all we our created in His image!
My intention is to take this study to a deep level. Deeper than most of you are used to! I am asking no one to agree with me; however I do ask that you check every detail that I present out for yourself.
Don’t end up like those in Hosea 4:6 ‘My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God (Elohim), I will also forget thy children.’
But, be like those in 2Timothy 2:15 ‘Study to shew thyself approved unto God (Yahweh), a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.’
