The Apocalypse already happened circa 66-70 anno domini. The Apocalypse continues to this day.
Every eye did see the Lord's return to execute wrath. When the Romans
razed Jerusalem, that was the final death of Adam (the earthy kingdom of Israel). Surviving Judeans were recorded as saying that they knew God
had left them and was against them in the form of the Roman invasion.
They perceived (saw) the Lord was against them.
Then the beast and the false prophet of earthly Israel were put down.
But after a time they were left out of the pit (rise of the Catholic
church). The same spirit of false doctrine that was in the old synagogue
system rose up in the church system. Ancient Judean sun worship lives
on. Today it is called "Christianity."
The beast and false prophet and all who follow after them were cast into
the "lake of fire and brimstone." In the Greek it is the words for a
refiner's crucible and testing touchstone. It also has a double entendre--Kalish--meaning to prune, or punish. All who follow after them
is the whole world. Everyone has been deceived. Pew warmers think their
church was founded by Jesus. But the churches were founded against
Jesus. Jesus never instructed us to build temples to worship in. He came
to tear down the earthly temple.
Scripture says that the people in the "lake of fire and brimstone" will
be tormented (by the lies of the false prophet church and the tyranny of
the beast government) for an 'age of ages.'
"Age of ages" is referring to the celestial cycle of constellations.
Ages are very long periods of time marked by the positions of the sun,
moon, and stars. So there are several ages in succession, forming one
very long "age of ages."
So those who believe the false prophet (Judaized, paganized
Christianity) are tormented in the presence of God and his angels for
this age of ages. What do you think the history of the last 1700 years
has been, if not torment? Living under terror that at any moment you may
die and be thrown into an oven forever and ever if you don't repent fast
enough or do penance for farting? That's the kind of mental torment
billions have lived with for centuries.
The world is in the lake of fire and brimstone, or the age of ages of
testing by fire. The world is the "iron furnace of Egypt" from which the
Lord leads out the Children of Israel. The red sea is the nations of
sun, moon, star, and demon worshipers, who primarily call themselves
Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, Occultist, Hindu that are
surrounding the tiny flock of Jesus. Jesus is parting the waters of the
chaos of nations so that those who believe can walk through on dry land (founded on the rock) to the promised land (escape from this physical
world into the heavenly). Pharaoh and his chariots are chasing after the
tiny flock to destroy it. But the flock of believers makes it through
the sea to heaven, no more to return to Egypt, and the sea swallows up
Pharaoh in the religious and political chaos.
If you let the theologians of the last 1700 years interpret the bible
for you then you will get it half wrong. Death is being born into a
physical body, into this hellish world. Life is faith in Jesus, having
the heart and mind raised up into the presence of the Holy Spirit.
Eternal Life is the path of escaping from this physical prison into the heavenly realm to receive a glorified spiritual body and live in the
presence of the Lord.
The book of Job says that the sons of God all sang together before the foundation of the cosmos. The sons of God were there with the Lord in
the beginning. Jesus Christ is the beginning. He is the first day and
the sabbath day.
Ecclesiastes tells us there is nothing new under the sun--that which has happened will happen again. That which is happening now has happened
before. There is nothing new under the sun.
The Lord told Cyrus to "remember the former things of old [books of
Moses], the things not yet done." Here in Isaiah we learn that things
detailed in the books of the Old Testament HAD NOT YET HAPPENED. Cyrus
is likened to the Messiah, because he is an allegorical prop for telling
us about the One Messiah to come. Messiah conquers Babylon and sets the believers free.
Jesus explained to the Jews, "Search the scriptures; for in them ye
think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me."
The only scriptures they had was the Old Testament. Jesus is saying that
the Old Testament testifies of him. The Testament is the testimony of
Jesus of Nazareth. Every story in the Old Testament is pageantry which prophesies of his coming into the world, and the events that spring from
his advent on earth.
Heed the counsel of Paul, who agrees with this understanding:
"For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid,
the other by a freewoman. But he who was of the bondwoman was born after
the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise. Which things are an _ALLEGORY_: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount
Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar."
Paul minces no words. The story of Abraham is an _allegory_ about the future--the little flock of Jesus founded on the Holy Spirit and Jesus
and his Prophets and Apostles. Abraham has nothing to do with those who
call themselves Israelites or Jews, or Pew warmers, and never did. The
story of Abraham is not a history lesson. It is a future lesson, a
prophecy. Anyone who tries to read it as history misses the entire point
of the law of Moses. It was given for OUR instruction--not for our
distant ancestors' instruction. They never even understood it. "He is a
true Jew that is one inwardly..."
Paul continues:
"For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem
which now is, and is in bondage with her children. But Jerusalem which
is above is free, which is the mother of us all."
The religious Jerusalem is in bondage and will be cast out. The real
Jerusalem, the spiritual city, is the mother of the saints (Isaac). "In
Isaac shall thy seed be called." The commandment, "Honor thy father and
thy mother" is referring to our spiritual Father and Mother. Almost
nobody in Christendom actually understands the Decalogue and its real
meaning. They keep looking to the outside of the cup to wipe the smudges
off, while the grease rots on the inside of the cup.
Paul continues:
"For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth
and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more
children than she which hath an husband. Now we, brethren, as Isaac was,
are the children of promise."
Isaac is the allegorical symbol for the body of Christ. The devil has a counterfeit flock that he is leading to destruction in the name of
Christ. The devil deceives the whole world by impersonating the Lord.
Paul continues:
"But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was
born after the Spirit, even so it is now."
The synagogue of satan--the clergy--continue to collaborate with the
beast to persecute those who refuse to submit to fake, earthly powers,
but instead keep the testimony of Jesus and the Apostles--that we are
the children of the freewoman and have nothing to do with the bondwoman
and her spawn.
Paul continues:
"Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her
son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman. So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but
of the free."
The true flock of Jesus are not the product of any church or synagogue
system. They are those who have been "called out" of that very system.
The Greek 'ekklesia' wrongly translated as 'church' translates 'called
out' in English.
"Come out of her my people..." Called out. Get it?
The spirit is not just calling the saints to come out of the church and religious systems. It is calling the saints to come out of religion
period, to reject their claims of being God's servants, and go worship
God in spirit and truth the way Jesus told us to--by faith--the faith of Abraham, as children of the freewoman.
