Q> There
are ten days of tribulation mentioned in
Rev.2:10.
Could you explain when the ten days apply?
A>
Rev.2:10
Fear none of
those things which thou (Firstfruits) shalt suffer: behold,
the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may
be tried; and
ye shall have tribulation TEN DAYS (little season): be thou faithful
unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.
The seven churches existed in Asia Minor round about
A.D.90. The
Apostle John on the isle of Patmos was given Revelations
concerning
the seven churches. It is evident that the sayings of the
Holy Spirit
(who is speaking as Christ) to the seven churches which
John wrote
of in Revelation chapter two and three, had not been
fulfilled by the
seven churches.
The church of Ephesus was told in Rev.2:7 that he who
overcomes shall eat
of the Tree of Life. No one in Ephesus had the
opportunity to eat of the Tree
of Life.
The church of Smyrna was told in Rev.2:10 that some of
them would be cast
into prison, to be tried with ten days of tribulation,
and thereafter be killed.
The faithful who were willing to die would receive a
Crown of Gold. It is
understood that Rev.2:10 has not been fulfilled by
Smyrna.
The church of Pergamos was told in Rev.2:17 that he
who overcomes
will eat of the Hidden Manna, and will be given a White
Stone containing
a New Name. The church of Pergamos did not receive the
Hidden Manna
or the White Stone containing a New Name.
The church of Thyatira was told in Rev.2:26 that he
who overcomes
will have Power over the nations and Rule them with a Rod
of Iron.
The church of Thyatira never received power over the
nations to rule
them with a Rod of Iron.
The church of Sardis was told in Rev.3:5 that he who
overcomes will
be clothed in White Raiment; and his name will not be
blotted out of
the Book of Life. The prophecy was not fulfilled by
Sardis at that time.
The church of Philadelphia was told in Rev.3:9,10 that
an open door was
set before them, and those of the synagogue of Satan
shall bow before
them. The promises to the people of Philadelphia are yet
to be fulfilled.
The church of Laodicea was told in Rev.3:21 that he
who overcometh will
sit upon a throne, just as Christ sat upon his
Fathers throne. The promise
to the overcomers of Laodicea, regarding their sitting
upon a throne has yet
to be fulfilled by the Laodiceans.
None of the seven churches of Asia Minor could fulfill
the promises
given to them, because the Man-child who reveals the
Seven Seals
had not materialized in their day. All the promises given
to the seven
churches of Asia Minor in A.D.90-95 are first to be
fulfilled in the
last generation (our day) of the living. All the promises
to the faithful
members of the seven churches must first be fulfilled by
the last
generation (our day).
The Man-child (latter day Lamb, see Rev.12:5) was
first manifested in
the last generation of the living to reveal the Seven
Seals Scroll to his
Bride. Thereafter the Chosen Vessel with the Remaining
Bride gather
the Firstfruits (Fellowservants and the 144,000). After
the Sixth Seal,
the Firstfruits gather a Great Multitude into Gods
Kingdom (New
Jerusalem).
PROMISE TO EPHESUS
The promise which was given to the church of Ephesus
regarding the Tree
of Life is fulfilled in Rev.22:2.
Rev.22:2
In the midst of
the street of it, and on either side of the river, was
there
the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and
yielded her fruit
every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the
healing of the nations.
The 144,000 and the Great Multitude are the two groups
who are to be saved
in the flesh without experiencing death. The 144,000 and
the Great Multitude
will literally eat of the Tree of Life during the Sixth
Seal, when the city New
Jerusalem is upon the earth to gather the 144,000 and
Great Multitude into
her gates. The Tree of Life is within the city New
Jerusalem. At the Sixth
Seal the city New Jerusalem shall descend upon the earth
to gather the
living redeemed.
Rev.14:1
And I looked,
and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion (within New
Jerusalem),
and with him an HUNDRED AND FORTY AND FOUR
THOUSAND (144,000), having his Father's name (Yahweh Koresh)
written in their foreheads.
Rev.21:24
And the NATIONS (Great Multitude, see Rev.7:9) of them which are
saved shall walk in the light of it (New Jerusalem): and the kings of
the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.
Rev.2:7
He that hath an
ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the
churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of
the tree
of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.
PROMISE TO SMYRNA
The promise which was given to the church of Smyrna
regarding the ten days
of tribulation and death, and the receiving of a Crown of
Gold is fulfilled in
Rev.6:11.
Rev.6:11
And white robes
were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto
them, that they (Bride
killed on February 28 and April 19th
1993) should
rest yet for a LITTLE SEASON (TEN DAYS), until their fellowservants
(one group
of Firstfruits)
also and their brethren (Remaining Bride),
that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
The Remaining Bride and Fellowservants shall receive
their Crowns of Gold
after they have been killed for their faith, as stated in
Rev.2:10.
All the scenarios which were written to the seven
churches in Revelation
chapter two and three, are to be fulfilled prior to the
time when the 3½
days of Rev.11:11 begins.
In the days when the church of Smyrna literally
existed, the ruling power
at that time acted swiftly in trials and executions. Once
a person was
under arrest they would be subjected to torture to make
them speak
or recant. If a person would not cooperate with the
authorities, then
they would be killed in about ten days from the time of
their arrest.
The judicial system since then has changed in many ways
regarding
the amount of time it takes to actually try and execute a
person.
All prophecies that were given to the seven churches
must first be fulfilled in
this last generation. To fulfill the prophecies of the
ten days of tribulation while
in prison, does not mean that a person needs to literally
be in a designated
government prison. For instance, a group of believers
could be in their own
building worshipping God according to the Revelation of
Gods Word.
If the ruling power of that land was to surround them,
then in fact they
would now be imprisoned. If while they were imprisoned
together in
their own church/home and psychological warfare was
enacted upon
them, then tribulation would have begun for them.
In the latter days the Remaining Bride and
Fellowservants together will be
imprisoned in their congregational church/home by the
Babylonian Beast.
The Fellowservants and Remaining Bride already know the
time prophecies
relating to their fate as shown in Rev.6:11; 13:7.
Therefore, the Fellowservants
and Remaining Bride will be tested, even to the last ten
days prior to the
fulfillment of Rev.6:11.
The Remaining Bride and Fellowservants will only
receive a Crown of Gold
if they are willing to be faithful unto death. All a
person of faith and conviction
needs to do, is wait on God and not presumptuously cause
a situation to occur.
God is the author and finisher of our faith. If we be
willing and obedient to the
Seven Seals, surely we will feel it a privilege to be
chosen as a sacrifice for
Gods Word.
Those who believe that the latter day Lamb revealed
the Seven Seals Scroll,
as stated by the Chosen Vessel, must pick up their cross
(being faithful unto
death) or fiery furnace, and follow the latter day Lamb.
Only a true believer
in the Seven Seals Revelation will be willing to fulfill
Gods revealed will.
None of the wicked can understand, but the wise
understand.
The servants are not greater than the master (latter
day Lamb). If they have
killed him (latter day Lamb) and those with him for a
thing of nought, surely
they will do likewise to those who are prophesying again.
Crowns of Gold
await those who must be willing to fulfill the bitter
prophecies of the scroll.
Rev.4:4
And round about
the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon
the seats I saw four and twenty elders (Fellowservants and 144,000)
sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their
heads
CROWNS OF GOLD.
Rev.9:7
And the shapes
of the locusts (Gods
army of Brides)
were like unto
horses (Brides) prepared unto battle; and on
their heads were as it
were CROWNS LIKE GOLD, and their faces were as the faces
of
men (human).
Rev.2:10
and I will
give thee a CROWN OF LIFE.
The followers of the Lamb who died on February 28 and
April 19th 1993,
and the Remaining Bride and Fellowservants who shall die,
will not be hurt
by the second death. Only the wicked shall die twice, but
the righteous only
die once and no more.
Rev.20:6
Blessed and holy
is he that hath part in the FIRST RESURRECTION:
on such the SECOND DEATH hath no power, but they shall be
priests
of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand
years.
Rev.2:11
He that
overcometh (those
who are faithful unto death) shall not be
hurt of the SECOND DEATH.
After the ten days (little season) are fulfilled, then
the 3½ days mentioned
in Rev.11:11 shall begin. During the 3½ days of
Rev.11:11, the Two
Witnesses (Lamb and the Chosen Vessel) shall return to
each generation
of the new testament period to fulfill all prophecies as
it was fulfilled in the
last generation of the living. From the last generation
of the living and
continuing back to the generation of the seven churches,
shall all the
prophecies be fulfilled in a dream-like world.
For 3½ days of real time (our time), all the past
generations shall be repeated
in a dream state that the spirit of the Lamb and Chosen
Vessel may reveal and
fulfill the Seven Seals Scroll. The ten days of Rev.2:10
shall also be fulfilled by
the church of Smyrna in a dream-like world during the 3½
days of Rev.11:11.
There shall be a group of Brides (FIRST OF the
Firstfruits) and a group
of Fellowservants and 144,000 (Firstfruits), and a Great
Multitude (fruits)
redeemed from every new testament generation. Gods
Word shall be
fulfilled in every generation, otherwise God would be
seen as a liar in his
unfailing Word.
The seven churches of Asia Minor will be the last
generation to receive
the promises and fulfillment of the things which were
written in Revelation
chapter two and three. The seven churches were first to
receive the
book/scroll of Revelation that was written by the Apostle
John on
the isle of Patmos.
When the Lamb and Chosen Vessel are manifested in
their (seven churches)
generation (during the 3½ days), then all prophecies to
the seven churches
shall be fulfilled. The generation of the seven churches
will be last to fulfill
Gods prophecies in the new testament period during
the 3½ days.
Thereafter, the 3½ days of Rev.11:11 will have
expired and the resurrection
of the Two Witnesses (Lamb and Chosen Vessel) with the
200,000,000
army of Saints and Fellowservants shall be fulfilled.
Then there is war in
heaven, followed by the fulfillment of the Sixth Seal
upon the earth.
PROMISE TO PERGAMOS
The promise given to the church of Pergamos regarding
the HIDDEN
MANNA, and the WHITE STONE that has a New Name is
fulfilled
in Rev.10:8-10; 12:6-14.
Rev.10:9
And I (John, representing the Chosen Vessel) went unto the angel, and
said unto him, Give me the LITTLE BOOK. And he said unto
me, Take
it, and EAT (Manna) it up; and it shall make thy
belly bitter, but it shall
be in thy mouth sweet as honey (see Ex.16:31).
Rev.12:6
And the woman (Remaining Bride) fled into the wilderness,
where she
hath a place prepared of God, that they should FEED (with the Hidden
Manna) her
there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.
Rev.2:17
To him
that overcometh will I give to eat of the HIDDEN MANNA,
The White Stone of Rev.2:17 refers to the diamond
(precious stone) white
throne which is the same throne mentioned in Rev.4:2 and
Rev.20:11.
Within the throne (ark, see Heb.9:4) is the pot of Manna.
The pot of
Manna represents the Word of God which reveals in written
form the
latter day Lamb having a New Name as mentioned in
Rev.19:12.
Rev.20:11
And I saw a
great WHITE THRONE (white gem stone), and him
(Yahweh Koresh)
that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the
heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them (wicked).
Heb.9:4
the ARK (representing the white diamond
throne) of
the covenant
overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the GOLDEN
POT
that had MANNA (representing
the Little Scroll which reveals the
New Name)
Rev.2:17
and will
give him a WHITE STONE (white diamond throne), and in
the stone (throne;
ark) a new
name (David
Koresh: Death)
written
(scroll:
Manna), which
no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.
PROMISE TO THYATIRA
The promise given to the church of Thyatira regarding
the power over nations,
to smite them with a Rod of Iron, is fulfilled in
Rev.19:14,15.
Rev.19:14
And the ARMIES (200,000,000 Saints) which were in heaven followed
him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and
clean.
Rev.19:15
And out of his
mouth (Lamb
in Angelic form; fulfillment of prophecy
according to the Word of God) goeth a sharp sword (two sided scroll),
that with it he should SMITE THE NATIONS: and he shall
rule
them with a ROD OF IRON: and he treadeth the winepress of
the
fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
Rev.2:26
And he that
overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him
will I give POWER OVER THE NATIONS:
Rev.2:27
AND HE SHALL
RULE THEM WITH A ROD OF IRON (fulfillment
of Gods Word/Rod);
AS THE VESSELS OF A POTTER SHALL
THEY BE BROKEN TO SHIVERS: even as I received of my
father.
PROMISE TO SARDIS
The promise given to the church of Sardis regarding
those who shall be
CLOTHED IN WHITE RAIMENT, is fulfilled in Rev.4:4.
Rev.4:4
And round about
the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon
the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, CLOTHED
IN WHITE
RAIMENT; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.
Rev.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.
PROMISE TO PHILADELPHIA
The promise given to the church of Philadelphia
regarding the HOUR OF
TEMPTATION, is fulfilled in Rev.17:12.
Rev.17:12
And the ten
horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have
received
no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings ONE HOUR (hour of
temptation)
with the beast (Babylonian
Beast reigns for one symbolical
hour).
During the hour of temptation when the Babylonian
Beast is reigning, the
Lamb prophesies according to one side of the scroll
(Seven Trumpets)
for half an hour, see Rev.8:1. Thereafter the Chosen
Vessel prophesies
again according to the other side of the scroll for
another half an hour,
see Rev.10:8-11.
Rev.8:1
And when he (mighty Angel of Rev.10:1) had opened the seventh seal,
there was silence in heaven about the space of HALF AN
HOUR.
Rev.10:11
And he said unto
me (John
typifying the Chosen Vessel), Thou MUST
PROPHESY AGAIN (for
another HALF an HOUR)
before MANY (not
all) peoples,
and nations, and tongues, and kings (lands and peoples in
allegiance with Babylon).
Rev.3:10
Because thou
hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee
from the HOUR OF TEMPTATION (hour of Babylons reign), which
shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell
upon the earth.
The promise to the church of Philadelphia in Rev.3:12
regarding those who
are to be made a pillar in Gods temple, having the
name of the Lambs
God and the city (New Jerusalem) written upon him, is
fulfilled in Rev.14:1.
The Bride and the Fellowservants with the 144,000 have
the Fathers name
and the name of the city, written in their foreheads
(minds). The wise who
have eaten of the Seven Seals book, thereby have the name
(Yahweh
Koresh) of God in their memory (mind: forehead), and the
name of the
city New Jerusalem.
Rev.14:1
And I looked,
and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion (where Gods
temple is located within New Jerusalem), and with him an hundred
forty and four thousand, having his Father's name (Yahweh Koresh)
written in their foreheads (minds).
Rev.3:12
Him that
overcometh will I make a pillar
(stand) in the
temple (mount
Sion) of my God
(Yahweh Koresh), and
he shall go no more out: and I
will write (Seal of God) upon him
(forehead: mind) the
name (Yahweh
Koresh) of my God
(Yahweh Koresh), and
the name of the city (New
Jerusalem where new Mount Zion is situated) of my God, which is
new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my
God (to
gather the 144,000 and the Great Multitude): and I will write upon
him my new name (David Koresh).
PROMISE TO LAODICEA
The promise given to the church of Laodicea regarding
those who are to sit
upon a throne is fulfilled in Rev.4:4.
Rev.4:4
And round
about the throne were four and twenty SEATS
(thrones):
and upon the SEATS (thrones) I saw four and twenty elders
(Firstfruits) sitting
(in judgment, see Dan.7:22),
clothed in white raiment; and they
had on their heads crowns of gold.
