No one can understand the Word by reading it on his own. The holy things of God belong only to the Chief Priest, Jesus Christ, known as the Word of God.
Matthew 12:3 But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was an hungred, and they that were with him; 4 How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the shewbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them which were with him, but only for the priests? (David was a "priest" ordained by God, not by men!)
Hebrews 4:14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast [our] profession.
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.
Isaiah 28:9 Stay yourselves, and wonder; cry ye out, and cry: they are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink. 10 For the Lord hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers hath he covered. 11 And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which [men] deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot; for it [is] sealed.
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? 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 Juda, 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 God sent forth into all the earth.
Secrets 62:3 Because every work which man does before the time, is all deceit before men, and sin before God.
This is an evaluation of man's effort to open seals and discover mysteries before God reveals them. So much for church doctrine; in other words, its conclusions are demonically contrived!
No man can understand the Word by reading in context, by going to man's theological seminaries, nor by applying scripture study schemes, or by reading on his own. The Word is really "Ark contents" which only a Chief Priest can touch, open and look upon. Churchmen and laymen have tried to study the Bible by these other means, but the "Seven Seals" remain firm and unmoved. Human arrogance, personal pride and egomania will not help the preachers and Christians, who think they know the Word and can break the Seals. They remain just as blind and ignorant as the Pharicees and Sadducees. What they think they understand is confusion and deception. At best they all "know in part" with some parts wrong and some parts right. This includes Billy Graham, the Pope, and any preacher or writer you know today regardless of his D.D. degrees and how many books he has written or how anointed he claims to be. None of these persons are the "Lamb slain from the foundation of the earth". He only was seen with power to open the Seals. Of him in the END and not before Isaiah wrote:
Isaiah 52:13 Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high. 14 As many were astonied at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men: 15 So shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut their mouths at him: for [that] which had not been told them shall they see; and [that] which they had not heard.
You cannot find the END of all truth and fulfillment of mysteries in any other time in history, nor any other writings. Books and writings of the past including those written by other men of God do not contain the "fullness of everything" and the illumination of "the mystery of God" before God planned to reveal them. Gabriel declares that this is to be ONLY IN THE END of time. Reading two thousand year old New Testament gospels is 2-day-old manna. There are "word-worms" in them, which you cannot identify by holding a blind "inerrency" theory which is counter to 1 Corinthians 13:8-12! Matthew, Mark, Luke and John and Paul will not cut it here! God did not give it to them, Acts 1:7. The disciples did not understand many things Jesus spoke, John 10:6.
Daniel 12: 8 And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what [shall be] the end of these [things]? 9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words [are] closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
We find the "Lamb slain from the foundation of the earth" opening the Seals in the TIME OF THE END, and not before. You can forget reading all previous writings by men prior to NOW. They are all "short of the glory" and "knowing in part", Romans 3:23, I Corinthians 13:8-12. In the END the WORD Himself, the Almighty, arranges the scriptures of His Word-puzzle Himself. Both men and devils have tried to discover the secrets and mysteries and they all failed!
2 Corinthians 11:13 For such [are] false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. 14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 15 Therefore [it is] no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
Psalm 50:16 But unto the wicked (demons who direct the thoughts of men) God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or [that] thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth? 17 Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest my words behind thee. 18 When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with adulterers. 19 Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit. 20 Thou sittest [and] speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own mother's son. 21 These [things] hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether [such an one] as thyself: [but] I will reprove thee, and set [them] in order before thine eyes.
II Baruch 15: And as 4 regards what thou hast said "Man knows not Thy judgement" -- On this account hear, and I will 5 speak to thee, and hearken, and I will cause thee to hear My words. Man would not rightly have understood My judgement, unless he had accepted the law, and I had instructed him in understanding. (You will notice that the Father Himself must instruct a man in understanding if he is to learn. This excludes, Bible schools, seminaries, and human teachers, and human arrogance! Isaiah 2:10-17).
In the END both Jesus and the Father work with ONE MAN. Remember the circumstances that caused Aaron's rod to bud and produce almonds! Numbers 17:3-10. He was challenged by his contemporaries over who spoke for God! The lastday son is a warrior-priest and judge whose battle is with the powers of darkness only, Ephesians 6:12.
Jeremiah 50:43 The king of Babylon hath heard the report of them, and his hands waxed feeble: anguish took hold of him, [and] pangs as of a woman in travail. 44 Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of Jordan unto the habitation of the strong: but I will make them suddenly run away from her: and who [is] a chosen [man, that] I may appoint over her? for who [is] like me? and who will appoint me the time? and who [is] that shepherd that will stand before me? 45 Therefore hear ye the counsel of the Lord, that he hath taken against Babylon; and his purposes, that he hath purposed against the land of the Chaldeans: Surely the least of the flock shall draw them out: surely he shall make [their] habitation desolate with them.
This man's name is "JOHN". He ate the book, and he is chosen by the Father to be His amplifier and Sun-light for the world in the END OF TIME. Out of his belly flows testimony of the fullness of all things and the mysteries of God. Because God speaks through him, the WORDS trumpet FINAL AUTHORITY! There is no qualifying for this work. This man was born into this position by being the last man God created. He is "the least of the flock"!
Revelation 10:7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets. 8 And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go [and] take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth. 9 And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take [it], and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey. 10 And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter. 11 And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.
You might not like this, but arrogance and ego on your part or on behalf of someone else have no place with your Father. Just as there is only one sun in the sky to light the earth, in His system of things God has chosen one warrior-priest and judge of devils in the end to deliver His Word for all humanity. This is to avoid confusion over who speaks for God. His name is "John" and John comes to you through the "GOOD NEWS"! "John" is himself a conduit and a funnel linking to the ultimate "JOHN". This name is a code word meaning "the beloved of God". The beloved of God are His Heavenly Hosts, His perfected children. Now we will show you the true "beloved", whose words "John" is sharing with the world through the "GOOD NEWS". Here is the real "BIG JOHN":
2 Esdras [RSV] 13:1 After seven days I dreamed a dream in the night;
2 and behold, a wind arose from the sea and stirred up all its waves. 3
And I looked, and behold, this wind made something like the figure of
a man come up out of the heart of the sea. And I looked, and behold, that
man flew with the clouds of heaven; and wherever he turned his face to
look, everything under his gaze trembled, 4 and whenever his voice issued
from his mouth, all who heard his voice melted as wax melts when it feels
the fire.5 After this I looked, andbehold, an innumerable multitude of men
were gathered together from the four winds of heaven to make war against
the man who came up out of the sea. 6 And I looked, and behold, he carved
out for himself a great mountain, and flew up upon it. 7 And I tried to
see the region or place from which the mountain was carved, but I could
not. 8 After this I looked, and behold, all who had gathered together
against him, to wage war with him, were much afraid, yet dared to fight.
9 And behold, when he saw the onrush of the approaching multitude, he
neither lifted his hand nor held a spear or any weapon of war; 10 but I
saw only how he sent forth from his mouth as it were a stream of fire,
and from his lips a flaming breath, and from his tongue he shot forth a
storm of sparks. 11 All these were mingled together, the stream of fire
and the flaming breath and the great storm, and fell on the onrushing
multitude which was prepared to fight, and burned them all up, so that
suddenly nothing was seen of the innumerable multitude but only the dust
of ashes and the smell of smoke. When I saw it, I was amazed. 12 After
this I saw the same man come down from the mountain and call to him
another multitude which was peaceable. 13 Then many people came to him,
some of whom were joyful and some sorrowful; some of them were bound,
and some were bringing others as offerings. Then in great fear I awoke.
2 Esdras 5:42 RSV He said to me, "I shall liken my judgment to a
circle; just as for those who are last there is no slowness, so for those
who are first there is no haste."
So "little John" in the "GOOD NEWS" is a conduit and microphone amplifier for "BIG John", the man who rose out of the sea observed by Ezra! This is the collective Body of the Heavenly hosts! The Heavenly Hosts are the real JOHN! I repeat - the HEAVENLY HOSTS ARE THE REAL "JOHN"!!!
Matthew 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
All will be fulfilled when all men enter the kingdom and God has destroyed the kingdom of darkness ONLY in the lake of fire!
