    The seven years tribulation period?

    Posted by Mats Rydin on January 6, 2010 at 1:19pm
    in Prophecy & End Times

    I rediscovered when I read trough "Jacobs trouble - Part 2: From Family to National Bondage" that You say that the great tribulation will last for seven years according the book of Revelation. You say under the heading "The call of the Priests" following "What does this mean practically? It means that if You have not come to sukkot inwardly you cannot be protected during the 7 years of tribulation spoken of in the book of Rervelation." I can´t nowwhere find any spoken of a seven years tribulation period in the bible. It´s seems more as a traditional interpretation which has developed from the teaching of dispensionalism.

    Mats,

    The time of 'great tribulation' that Jesus speaks of in Matthew 24:21 is also referred to in Revelation 7:14, (and possibly in Rev. 2:22). However, just as you say, Jesus never specified the length of such a time of trouble and the book of Revelation does not speak directly to it either. The only timelines we are given are those which probably are referring to this time of great tribulation and they all refer to a time of about three and one half years. However, Jesus also refers to a time of tribulation in Matthew 24:9 that may or may not be the same thing that He speaks of in verse 21. I personally have heard from God on the subject and have some clarity as to the situation, but still only 'see in part'. God has in the past asked me to 'reveal Revelation' and has shown me that there would be a 14 year time just like happened in Joseph's day in Egypt - 7 years of plenty followed by seven years of 'famine'. God showed me that the time of plenty ended and the famine started along about June 16, 2006. Just before that time He told us to get out of debt, sell everything and leave Babylon, (represented by debt and in particular the USA). He had us move to South Africa, which we did. I look back now and see that if we would have waited just a few weeks past the time that we left, we would never have been able to sell our house, (which we did at the very peak of the housing bubble in the USA) and would still be stuck there.

    What God means by the 'seven years of famine' and how that relates to the time of great tribulation will remain to be seen, as He never gave me full clarity on the issue as yet. I speculated in the teachings and book that He had me write on the subject that the 3 1/2 years of great tribulation MAY come during the time of the famine, but He never said that. I have been persecuted by people, (even by someone on this web site because of this revelation and their misinterpretation of what I said) but I stand on the truth of what God showed me and have acted thusly, (and am very grateful that I did) and will continue to walk it out. Like Joseph, God has recently delivered me from the 'prison' that I was living in Bloemfontein, South Africa where I was unable to do or say anything much in the job I was in as a consultant in plastic surgery at the Universitas Hospital there and promoted me to my current position. I now live on a high hill in Durban near the beach, (which I used to believe was not the best of ideas) my income has increased dramatically and, (though I believe it will be for a short time - maybe a year or so) we have had many other physical blessings come to us at a time when others are suffering. Thank you Jesus!

    I personally believe that those who have heard this same message and have similarly obediently acted upon it will have likewise been shown by the power of God that it is indeed true and that within the next couple of years much more trouble will come at a much more rapid pace. As to the exact time of the initiation of the great tribulation, I am not certain, but I believe it to be soon. I am praying and working in Christ to get to a place in Him that God may count us worthy to escape all these things as Jesus said in Luke 21:36, Revelation 3:10 and other places).

    The notion of a seven year time of great tribulation, (as you seem to know) comes from Daniel 9:27. This scripture may refer to a seven year time, but it is clear from all the other scriptures that the great tribulation is more likely 3 1/2 years long.

    Thanks for your comment as it does show that someone is reading his Bible correctly!

    Be blessed,

    Dr. Ray

    I have a feeling we have had this discussion before somewhere here (or maybe in the previous MSN netwerk?) but to clarify where I stand on this so that there are no misunderstandings:

    1. The actual time of open, murderous persecution or "tribulation" only takes place in the 3½ year period described in the Book of Revelation;

    2. Antichrist will be in power 7 years but not reveal His true colours until the latter half;

    3. Though the first 3½ years is not properly spoken of as the "tribulation", is is linked to the tribulation period period by virtue of the fact that it is a part of the same reign (of antichrist);

    4. These seven years are the seven times spoken of by Daniel;

    5. Those who have not made their choice by the time this seven years has begun will be too late in gathering not because the killing will have started but because the system will have closed its doors to any 'escape' out of it - those who convert 'within' it will become the martyrs also described in the Book of Revelation.

    As for the length of 'trouble', it seems to be that we have been in it more or less continuously since the fall that rises and falls throughout the ages to reach an apocalyptic crescendo and climax at the very end.

    Since we are supposed to be prepared every day, listening to Yahweh so that we are in the right place doing the right things at the right time, the actual length is academic anyway.

    It´s seems that I don´t agree with some of Your interpretations. First the seven years that is spoken about in Dan.9:27. Do You refere to this verse when You say "4. These seven years are the seven times spoken of by Daniel".Secondly how can You be sure that the one who You name antichrist is the same as the one who Revelation name the beast?. Revelation doesn´t use the name antichrist as I´v understand,. The name antichrist or antichrists uses only in 1 Joh.2:18, 4:3 and 2 Joh. 7. I know that these scriptures has been debated over centures and today. I´m not longer sure that Dan. 9:27 is only an event in the future. Maybe this has already occured.

    These are admittedly difficult questions especially as prophecy tends to have multiple layers and also overlap (see my last sermon on Bozrah). You are right about Revelation not using the word 'antichrist' which is a term applicable to anyone who opposes Christ/Messiah.

    Think about this.

    Before writing, I must state that I/we need to quit looking at others and playing any games of I know more than ... and I'm not saying that any are, just setting a bookmark for what I may write. Messiah loves it when we seek these things out. And, we find that prophecy isn't all about what will happen or has happened in the world but also, even more important than that, there are some awesome things Messiah can show of His very Being though even all of everything made to the light of all mankind is found there in His Heart.

    We get some good pointers to different things from each other as describing that good food of Unleavened Bread, and that's all we can really do is point the way to get some food directly from the only place we can truly eat it into our Heart.

    Strange words?

    Well, we know and hopefully I can inject some humor but hard to in writing without just writing it in. We can't hear it, but enough on that, so I will say some more strange words.

    We are to seek scriptures and get the Heart knowledge directly from the throne so that is all I or anyone can really do. Otherwise it is just learning of Dust Mind and we can know lots of things but we may not have gone to eat the Unleavened Bread flesh of it yet and drank some Life blood to get it into our Heart.

    We must also discern if we are hearing or reading words someone is giving of their knowledge of described food or are they describing something that they have eaten?

    John ate some good food and I would dare say He is still walking this planet waiting for His time to be taken Home too as we. And has anyone here seen Him? Where would He be dwelling today? But it may be in the scriptures? Did Messiah indicate it? Some things I do not know but speculate, but that is based on some experience I have lived in the land.

    And the red flags arise, (not a bad thing), especially, when someone may claim to understand prophecy clearly where many over the years have failed to properly discern. Where is Messiah truly feeding His sheep? Are sheep eating from His table directly, the only place to get good food?

    Or do they eat "pretend food" of some religious leader they are following or from their own study to prove more of the fallacy they have of "pretend food"? The only real food comes directly from following the shepherd whose voice is not audible but speaks to the Heart where it can be fed. The only way our spirit man lives! And I've heard many proclaim to be eating Unleavened Bread but from presumption are really eating more "pretend food" because Unleavened Bread and that Life of the Blood make some good fruit for Messiah to eat. Analogy is good for understanding as in "you are what you eat". Are we in the body of Messiah?

    We all do see in part and those bits we have as Heart knowledge. But mostly presumption. Yes.

    But, however, although and of course we love to know our Messiah's Heart and what He will do above all else. We have to get the reason to 'knower' set right first. And Messiah must do that if we will let Him. And that may be to take fallacy and burn it in the bonfire of burning Love and contriteness of Heart. And that fire comes from the Heart of our Messiah who will throw out anything in His Temple we are holding on to of the money changers. Who really thought they could sell prophecy for a profit. What are those going to say to Messiah face to face? But maybe He will have mercy as the 'interest' of those things was at least brought to light in many seeking those things. But, will not understand until we know just who is that Living Book and just where it is Residing.

    Revelation has been sitting out there for about 2000 years now and it isn't fully understood for all to plainly see yet. Now, what about those where Messiah has erased the presumption? Could we even believe that or is there so much unbelief of fallacy and 'pretend food' that anyone claiming so would themselves desire to become another martyr where presumptious brothers and sisters would beat the person and refuse to hear the words? Messiah says, "ask and you will receive" directlly from me. If another servant describes some good food Messiah has, they still have to get it for themselves off of His Table, but Must Understand that It comes from Heart to Heart revelation of renewal of Mind and not just from learning or stuffing words into the Dust Mind to try and figure out on our own. Messiah Will Help if we tell Him Directly One on One Show Me How YOU Are BEING These Things In Your Perfect Torah/Word Heart. And I will say that He has kept every word Intact to the 'jot' and to the very 'tittle'. Just like Father spoke In The Beginning.

    Well, some food you just have to go and get it for yourself. To understand Revelation takes years of being taken back in "Living Color" like a 'show' into Living Torah, Prophets and All of the Witness of Him to let Messiah show How He is Being Many Many Things, and Where We Fit Into His Plan. And there are fathoms of things He has not shown nor written in words as even the whole world could not hold all of that book in written word.

    This is so Important:

    Messiah Yahushua is the Living Covenant we are baptised into by the Holy Spirit.

    Living Covenant - He spoke and told us the (written) Torah/law was until John the Baptist. Why? If we can see Him, well the Living Torah/law was speaking as a man directly from His Heart. How could scriptures become alive? Well, they were already alive from the beginning. He just had man write down some things we needed to know. And if we can ponder this, even all things made to the light of all mankind.

    Now, the light of all mankind. What could that possibly mean? Literally the Heart of each one of us is made of the Light of the Father. YHWH is Light. YHWH is Love. All things even the Heart of every living person ever alive or made exists by the Light and Love of YHWH. Sin caused YHWH to look away as in turning His back to man within, allowing man to live in the Dust Mind having connection to our body and senses without direction or as being One with YHWH. The eyes of YHWH are in every place keeping watch on the evil and the good. Closer than we may think. But confession is even in our mouth and belief of Heart. And to those who confess of the mouth from the Heart to believe that Messiah who comes knocking on the door are truly given the power to become a son of YHWH!

    Now we understand when our body returns to the earth for it is all Dust, the spirit part returns to YHWH.

    But, where does that leave our uniqueness we call our mind or soul?

    YHWH either takes that to preserve or to hold until judgment for second death. Will any escape? I do not know. Maybe some have light on that. We either have eternal life because we have become One in Messiah or eternal Death apart from Messiah. Life returns to Life, Death returns to Death. Sin gets dissolved into eternal un-remembering. Life into eternal remembering.

    How to say?, well even physics has determined something profound and that there is Light within the Light. All things made of Light remember the form of Light by spinning vortex. There is external light and 'internal' light. Of every element there is and the energies of the universe. The outer light may lose remembering as it can lose it's 'spin'. However there is something mysterious about the light within the light. It can never lose it's remembering. And we see governments spending trillions of dollars trying to break that internal light.

    What does YHWH say about that?

    Workers of iniquity do you think you will ever break my Eternal Life or suppose to change My Eternal Torah?

    Do you want to stand in that great courtroom and experience witness to that burning fire that will cause the very elements to burn with fervent heat at the rage against the wicked? It will cause you to shake down to the core.

    We may ask well, what does the Living Covenant of the Messiah's Heart have to do with Revelation in being able to discern it? We may say well I know the answer to that question before you even ask. But, is it asking for an answer? Or a meaning?

    But everything is in the things John knew and told us plainly but we are not shown lest it come from heaven to our Heart. We must 'get' some things He wrote besides Revelation into Heart knowledge. John 1. The first few verses He tells us. What is the actual being of those words? 1 John and others.

    That is in renewal of mind directly from the Living Word. A shortcut from reading written word to Hearing His Voice directly. And well does He speak His word we have hidden in our Heart. We seek and strive for that relationship it is worth putting off anything that would keep us from it. And we know He is a wonderful and most loving counselor!

    We ask Messiah how He is being those things of the Aleph-Taw and that is called Rhema word by some but is directly Hearing His Voice where we have become aware of what may be in His Heart by reading written scripture. Have we learned to Hear that voice? It's like learning to play a musical instrument.

    From Messiah's perspective and we know our Father is patient with His childern, we are presumptous to form fallacy on many things, but that not said of any evil thing but as children seeking out His Heart I know He is smiling and that is what He wants, for us to say Yes Unconditional and seek Him where we will listen and Keep Saying Yes!

    Father has purpose in everything and some things we are not given to know in Heart until He is ready. We know those Heart things He has given us to renew our mind and we know those things where we have a presumption as to what He has said but in reality is His Being.

    How can this be said as "His Being" for that is the Real and True Book? Everyone is in that Book somewhere. I would strive with all diligence to make sure that my name is written into the Book within the Book, the Torah within the Torah, the Light within the Light, the Life within the Life, in the Lambs Book of Life. He doesn't literally have a pen and is writing words, He is the Living Covenant and we Become One/Echad, of Being In the Heart of Messiah as He is IN US!!

    He can take any "name" and put it there to move it from the outer darkness to the eternal light! How do we understand in analogy of mind? Get that from Messiah's Heart. And we also might understand what Ezekiel wrote about the Wheel in the Middle of the Wheel. Internal of the Inward Path, the Way, the Truth, the Life, and that Leads to where there is eternal Life, the Door, the Gate, our awesome Messiah!

    Words on paper could burn in the fire and won't change who He is in the least. We can have our presumption and it won't change who He is in the least.

    So where is the true Book (seen in Revelation), that can never become corrupted nor changed in the least 'jot' or 'tittle'?

    Now, thinking in this way, what is the better of two 'good things'.

    We know the written word is good for it leads us to understand and be shown within of eternal life of our salvation, of our wonderful savior and of our Father. We hold on to written word because it shows us the Way, the Truth and the Life.

    That said, the word leads us to some good food where we put the fork in our mouth and eat off of the plate where the Life is residing. And that is not the written word but that good food it told us was available. Of contrite heart, humility, of persistence of seeking, fortitude unshaken, saying I Am Going To Get Me Some of That Good Food, are you coming or not, Does not Matter, One on One before the Throne for Any Who Would Enter There. Inside us, it is.

    Revelation is His showing of Messiah's Heart and we see it as a book. And did that book just come live in our Heart, maybe 10%, 50%, or did Messiah stay 100% and we just need to discover Him there? Bit by Bit, for renewal of Mind to we who have eternal Life and those things of Heart will never burn. The rest of our knowledge will be erased in the fire.

    Maybe to discuss some more later but that is enough for now. Just might take a while to go eat from Messiah's table of some of those things. Mean nothing unless you have eaten already or may still need to go get some of that good food. It is closer than we may think! Right within us. Yes! If Messiah is dwelling within we have 100% revelation. Now, we can seek to let Him renew our mind?

    I understand where you're coming from, Rodney, and basically agree. But there's a problem, it seems to me, because many claim to be eating from the Table of which you speak but end up with conflicting doctrines and teachings. Then what you end up with is unresolvable existential conflict. It seems to me that there has to be a balance here. It is all very well claiming that "God" tells somebody this or that - if I wanted to, I could cite the revelations that Yahweh has given me as my "authority" for teaching what I do but unless someone is walking in the same experience, what would be the point? Therefore I am forced to on the one hand adhere to what has been revealed to me personally whilst reasoning from Scripture as the good Bereans did on equal terms with everyone else. (Personally I turn off when people tell me "God told me this or that" because there are so many fraudsters who say this along with those who are seriously misguided and listening to false voices but who sincerely believe they are right). I love to hear of people's experiences but not when they are proclaimed as dogmatic fact or revelation which we must just "accept" - all things must be presented for testing in the Body. If there are any prophets about (as I believe there are) they will bring forth the signs which everyone can recognise.

    The Ruach can only ever reveal the meaning of Scripture and in particular Prophecy. When we all have the same anointing we will see eye to eye. In the meantime we can, and should, respect each other where we are, reasoning from Scripture where Scripture is clear, and avoiding unnecessary conflict where it is not. That is how I hope people will behave in this Network.

    Shabbat Blessings!

    Absolutely! One on One with Messiah. We can have differences in just not having perfectly matching definitions of words even but in the Ruach we have something of Heart that we could describe in many words but still only point to the good food we each have to eat One on One.

    If something we know in our mind does not match Messiah's Heart it still does not change Him in the least. And we will see Him face to face and understand perfectly together.

    So I only write to say we must all get the good food for ourselves. If anything is presented it must be proved by going to that Table of Messiah. Anything we get there in Spirit and Truth unseparable is the good Oil for our lamps.

    There is perfect truth and perfect revelation. And that could not be discussed here but will be proved in Power and Witness of Signs following, absolutely!

    And I'm asking if I've said anything to offend anyone or not been clear on intent or asked anyone to accept one thing I've written but to always witness of Messiah for I am nothing? As the Holy Spirit our Father is a 'gentleman' I sure would apologize if I am out of line here.

    "God showed me that the time of plenty ended and the famine started along about June 16, 2006."

    How many of us are living examples of this? Amazing to me.

    The very month my life also took a drastically different direction and is the beginning of the famine or something even much more profound in understanding more of what is happening. Is our Father leading us out of Babylon in real tangible living ways and when will we arrive to where He is leading? What is happening to His redeemed people, and even those redeemed who may also be the living 'seed' of our forefathers of Israel? It is spelled out in Torah and I can say many things have literally become a part of my life or have happened to me that I know our Father has taken us by the hand and is doing what He said. My testimony.

    We come to know it does not matter what we believe is happening to have sorted out in our mind but we are living some things or parts of the scriptures we are shown and just holding on in amazement and for dear life!

    The notion of a seven year time of great tribulation, (as you seem to know) comes from Daniel 9:27. This scripture may refer to a seven year time, but it is clear from all the other scriptures that the great tribulation is more likely 3 1/2 years long.

    Thanks for your comment as it does show that someone is reading his Bible correctly!

    Be blessed,

    Lev,

    About what was spoken of the Iniquity of those who are playing with the light. It was not told here first. And was put right in their faces. Before the problems they had. And they keep on playing we will all see their folly because of the seriousness of that is not playing spiritual guru at all. Just as a nobody who heard something so seriously terrible that it doesn't matter what anyone thinks of me. We will see if our Father has spoken.

    Blessings, in Yahushua of our Family Heart.

    Adding some scriptures to check out describing the "Living Book". We can find so much about who He is and what will it be like to look Him eye to eye? Can we imagine that day? And I hope it is in rejoicing in that great Family Reunion to come!

    Some Scriptures Describing the “Book”. Blessings in Yahushua Messiah!

    Hebrews 10:1 For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.

    Who is the image? We know who He is!! Confess with the mouth and believe in the Heart!

    Deuteronomy 30:14 But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.

    Doing is confessing and believing in Messiah to let Him come into the Heart!

    Are not all of these things descriptions of Him!

    Hebrews 10:2 For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshipers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins. 3 But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year. 4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.

    Hebrews 10:5 Wherefore when he cometh into the world,

    he saith,

    Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not,

    but a body hast thou prepared me:

    Hebrews 10:6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure. 7 Then said I, Lo,

    I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O YHWH Elohim.

    Yahushua How Great You Are Being In Full Volume!

    Hebrews 10:8 Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law; 9 Then said he, Lo,

    I come to do thy will, O YHWH Elohim. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.

    Matthew 11:13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John. 14 And if ye will receive it, this is Elijah, which was for to come.

    (this is Elijah – did Messiah Speak This of Himself or of John?) In Malachi we see that between the Aleph-Taw is the Aleph-Mem-Taw and that is the Truth!

    Malachi 4:4 Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments. 5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of YHWH: 6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.

    Who could do that besides Messiah Yahushua? The Law of Moses Became the Man who turns the Heart to Eternal Life and of Salvation and is still Doing His work Today!

    There is more revelation in the Hebrew text! But sticking to who is the BOOK and we see what he will Perform not of written word but of what YHWH has made Him to Become and Will Do!

    Malachi 4:1 For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith YHWH of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. 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. 3 And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the YHWH of hosts.

    John 14:6 Yahushua “Jesus” saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. 7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.

    Deuteronomy 18:18 I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. 19 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.

    Hebrews 10:10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Messiah Yahushua once for all.

    Hebrews 10:11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: 12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of YHWH Elohim; 13 From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.

    Revelation 3:5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. 6 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

    Revelation 5:1 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals. 2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?

    Revelation 5:3 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon. 4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon. 5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. 6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of YHWH Elohim sent forth into all the earth.

    Who is sent into all of the earth by the Life of His Blood and He will Open His Book and Reveal The Sons Of YHWH! He Has Made!

    We know who is Being that book at the right hand of YHWH Elohim?

    Revelation 22:7 Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the saying of the prophecy of this book.

    Which book whose sayings are we keeping?

    John 8:51 Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.

    John 8:58 Yahushua “Jesus” said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.

    Revelation 22:12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. 13 I am Alpha and Omega (Aleph-Taw), the beginning and the end, the first and the last.

    John 14:6 Yahushua “Jesus” saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

    John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word (Torah Aleph-Taw), and the Word was with YHWH Elohim, and the Word was YHWH Elohim. 2 The same was in the beginning with YHWH Elohim. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

    John 1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

    1 John 4:8 He that loveth not knoweth not YHWH Elohim; for YHWH Elohim is love.

    1 John 1:5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that YHWH Elohim is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

    Revelation 21:23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of YHWH Elohim did lighten it, and the Lamb (Y- Yahushua) is the light thereof.

    Revelation 22:12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. 13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. 14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

    Revelation 22:15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

    Revelation 22:16 I Yahushua “Jesus” have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star. 17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.

    Revelation 22:18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, YHWH Elohim shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, YHWH Elohim shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

    (Who is being the ‘book’? That one incorruptible of Being?)

    Revelation 22:20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen.

    Even so, come, Master Yahushua “Jesus”. 21 The grace of our Master Yahushua the Messiah be with you all. Amein.

    And that ‘book’ described in more detail by Ezekiel chapter 1. And he summed it up for us all:

    Ezekiel 1:28 As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of YHWH, And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spoke.

    ONE/ECHAD! AND HE SPOKE! Wow! HE IS AWESOME!

    John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of YHWH Elohim, even to them that believe on his name: 13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of YHWH Elohim.

    John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

    What did John see when He looked Him in the eyes? That is Love!

    Is this "Elijah" who we let come in at Passover when we celebrate the Living Passover Lamb of salvation?

    Revelation 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. 21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
