Written by Yahusha's Student John ...
1 Then I looked, and there before me was the Lamb, (YAHUSHA) Who was standing on Mount Zion. And there were 144,000 people with Him, (SPECIAL REMNANT - SHADOWED BY 12K FROM EACH TRIBE) having His Father’s Name written (SEALED) on their foreheads. 2 And I heard a sound from Heaven as loud as the crashing of floodwaters or claps of thunder. But it sounded like harpists playing their harps. HEAVENLY ORCHESTRA 3 These people sang a new song before the Throne and before the four living creatures and the elders. And the only ones who could learn the new song were the 144,000 who'd been redeemed from the earth (REDEEMED NOT WITH SILVER BUT BY BLOOD). No one else could learn it but them!
4 These are the ones who did not do sinful things with women, but kept themselves pure. Now they follow the Lamb wherever He leads them. They were redeemed from among the people of the earth (BOUGHT-BACK FROM THE FILTH OF SLAVERY TO BE A NEW LOVE-SLAVE) and they are the first to be offered to YAHUAH and the Lamb (FIRSTFRUITS). 5 They are not guilty of telling lies, for they are blameless and without fault.
CLEARLY NO ONE IS BORN OR ABLE TO LIVE THIS WAY WITHOUT A DIVINE HEART OPERATION AND A NEW SPIRIT EMPOWERING / TRANSFORMING THEM INTO THIS BEHAVIOUR OF ROYALTY.
6 Then I saw another Angel flying high in the air, holding the Eternal Good News to announce to the people living on earth, to every nation, tribe, language, and race of people. 7 The Angel shouted in a loud voice, “FEAR YAHUSHA AND GIVE HIM PRAISE, FOR THE HOUR HAS COME FOR HIM TO JUDGE ALL PEOPLE. WORSHIP YAHUSHA, FOR HE MADE THE HEAVENS, THE EARTH, THE SEA, AND THE SPRINGS OF WATER.” THIS `GOOD NEWS' WILL ONLY BE GOOD AND CELEBRATED BY THE BRIDE ... BUT FOR THE REST OF THE WORLD, THE SAME GOSPEL 'GOOD NEWS' MESSAGE (BESORAH) IS ACTUALLY ONE OF JUDGMENT ... IT'S A LAST CHANCE ANNOUNCEMENT THAT TORAH IS RIGHT ... YOU ARE WRONG ... REPENT OR DIE!!
8 Then the second Angel followed the first Angel, shouting: “BABEL HAS FALLEN, BABAL HAS FALLEN! THE GREAT CITY OF BABYLON IS DESTROYED! FOR SHE MADE ALL THE NATIONS DRINK THE WINE OF THE WRATH OF HER WHORING" (SEXUAL SIN & IDOLATRY).
9 A third Angel followed the first two Angels and announced in a loud voice, “YAHUSHA WILL PUNISH ALL THOSE WHO WORSHIP THE BEAST, HIS IMAGE AND AGREE TO HAVE HIS MARK ON THEIR FOREHEAD OR ON THEIR HAND (SATAN'S SYSTEM OF WORLDLY MINDSETS AND PHILOSOPHIES, EXPRESSED THROUGH UNREPENTANT BEHAVIOUR!) 10 THEY WILL DRINK THE WINE OF YAHUSHA’S WRATH, WHICH IS PREPARED WITH ALL ITS STRENGTH, UNDILUTED IN THE CUP (BOWL) OF HIS WRATH. (THESE SEVEN FINAL WRATH BOWLS ARE ABOUT TO BE HURLED TO EARTH!) THEY WILL BE TORTURED WITH FIRE AND SULFUR BEFORE THE SET-APART ANGELS AND THE LAMB. (PEOPLE WILL BE TORMENTED IN BODY, MIND AND SPIRIT BY YAHUSHA!) 11 AND THE SMOKE FROM THEIR BURNING AGONY WILL RISE FOREVER AND EVER, AND THERE WILL BE NO REST, DAY OR NIGHT, FOR THOSE WHO WORSHIP THE BEAST AND ITS IMAGE OR WHO WEAR THE MARK OF ITS NAME.” (JUST LIKE SODOM & EGYPT, NEVER RECOVERING!)
12 This means that YAHUSHA'S set-apart people must endure and be patient, guarding and obeying YAHUSHA'S Commands and trusting in Him.
ORIGINAL: "THIS IS THE ENDURANCE OF THE SET-APART ONES."
13 Then I heard a voice from heaven, saying, “Write this: blessed are those who die in Me from now on, for they can rest from all their hard labours, and what they've done will stay with them.” WHILE SPEAKING OF PHYSICAL DEATH HERE (AWAITING THE FIRST RESURRECTION), THOSE WHO DIE TO THEIR FLESH WILL ALSO HAVE REST AND PEACE FROM WHAT'S COMING ON THE GLOBAL POPULATION.
14 And I looked and saw a white cloud, and sitting on the cloud was One like the Son of Adam, having on His head a golden crown, and in His hand a sharp sickle. 15Then another Angel came out of the temple and called out to the One who was sitting on the cloud, “TAKE YOUR SICKLE AND GATHER FROM THE EARTH. THE TIME TO HARVEST HAS COME, AND THE FRUIT ON THE EARTH IS RIPE.” (BEARING AN ABUNDANCE OF FRUIT) 16 So the One who was sitting on the cloud (YAHUSHA) swung His sickle over the whole earth. And the earth was harvested.
17 Then another Angel came out of the Temple in Heaven carrying a sharp sickle. 18 And then another Angel, one with power over fire, came from the Altar, calling to the Angel with the sharp sickle, saying, “Take your sharp sickle and gather the bunches of grapes from the earth’s vine. The earth’s grapes are ripe.” 19 The Angel swung his sickle over the earth, gathering the earth’s grapes, and he threw them into the great winepress of YAHUSHA'S wrath. 20 The grapes were squeezed in this winepress outside the city, where blood flowed from it, rising as high as the horses' heads for 300km.
YAHUSHA IS ALREADY IN THE PROCESS OF GATHERING AND SEPARATING HIS BRIDE FROM THE 'FOUR-CORNERS' OF THE WORLD. IT'S A TIME OF GREAT REJOICING FOR THE WHEAT AND SORROW FOR THE DARNEL. EACH TIME YAHUSHA SWINGS HIS MIGHTY SICKLE UPON THE EARTH, ANOTHER SEVERING AND SEPARATION OCCURS, DRAWING HIS BELOVED BRIDE CLOSER TO HIM AND REMOVING OBSTACLES AND PROBLEMS AND PEOPLE AND SITUATIONS THAT WEIGH THEM DOWN FROM SERVING IN HIS LIGHT AS KINGS AND PRIESTS ... THE REMOVAL OF DISCORD & DRAMA, TO ALLOW HARMONY TO REIGN AND SHINE!
