AFTER THE THINGS SEEN IN THE VISION OF THE SEVEN ASSEMBLIES, THE SCENE IS ABOUT TO CHANGE FROM EARTH TO HEAVEN, FROM THE ASSEMBLY (AS FUNCTIONING IN EARTH WITH YAHUSHA IN THE MIDST), TO THE THRONE OF YAHUAH (AND THE BOOK IN THE THRONE AND THEN THE LAMB IN HEAVEN).
1"After this I looked and saw a DOOR having been opened in the Heaven".
JOHN IS ABOUT TO BE TRANSPORTED `IN SPIRIT' TO ANOTHER DIMENSION, TO SEE THE ETERNAL THRONEROOM OF YAHUSHA THROUGH A PORTAL.
JOHN HAS BEEN VIEWING THE RESURRECTED AND TRANSFORMED MESSIAH AS HE OPERATES IN THE MIDST OF THE SEVEN ASSEMBLIES IN THEIR LOCAL SETTINGS. BUT FROM NOW ON THE VISIONS CONCERN YAHUSHA'S JUDGMENT ON THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH. AND FOR THIS REASON, "THE ASSEMBLY" IS NOT MENTIONED AGAIN UNTIL THE END OF THE BOOK, IN REV.22.
JOHN BEGINS TO SEE THINGS IN THE FUTURE, JUST AS YAHUSHA SEES THEM. YAHUSHA SEES THINGS THAT HAVEN'T HAPPENED YET (AS THOUGH THEY ALREADY HAVE) BECAUSE HE IS THE ETERNAL CREATOR. SO ALL TIME: PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE ARE ONE ETERNAL EXISTENCE TO HIM.
FIVE TIMES JOHN SEES AN 'OPENING' IN REVELATION:
1. A DOOR 'OPENED' IN HEAVEN - REV.4
2. THE TEMPLE 'OPENED' IN HEAVEN - REV.11
3. THE TABERNACLE OF THE WITNESS 'OPENED' IN HEAVEN - REV.15
4. HEAVEN 'OPENED' - REV.19
(NOT JUST A DOOR, BUT HEAVEN ITSELF IS 'OPENED' WHEN HE RETURNS).
5. THE NEW YERUSHALIM COMING OUT OF HEAVEN - REV.21
IN THE ASSEMBLY OF PHILADELPHIA, THE OVERCOMER HAD AN 'OPEN DOOR' BEFORE HIM. THERE ARE MANY DOORS SPOKEN OF IN THE SCRIPTURES, WHICH YAHUAH PRESENTS BEFORE HIS PEOPLE. THE GREATEST AND HIGHEST DOOR IS THE 'DOOR OPENED INTO HEAVEN'. IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND MORE FULLY THE VISION HERE, IT WILL BE HELPFUL TO REMEMBER THE SCENE, AS JOHN UNDERSTANDS IT :
IN REVELATION 1-2-3 YAHUSHA IS SEEN IN THE SANCTUARY, REPRESENTED IN THE SET-APART PLACE OF THE TABERNACLE OR THE TEMPLE. THERE HE STANDS SERVING AS THE GREAT HIGH PRIEST, TO THE GOLDEN LAMPSTANDS - THE SEVEN LOCAL ASSEMBLIES.
ALL IN REVELATION CHAPTERS 1,2,3 PROVIDE US WITH A SET-APART PLACE SCENE. THE FURNITURE CONFIRMS THIS TRUTH. HOWEVER, IN REVELATION CHAPTERS 4-5 JOHN MOVES FROM A SET-APART PLACE SCENE INTO THE MOST SET-APART PLACE OF ALL, INTO THE IMMEDIATE PRESENCE OF YAHUSHA.
HERE WE SEE YAHUSHA IN THE HEAVENLY SANCTUARY, WITHIN THE VEIL. THE FURNITURE HERE IS THE VERY THRONE OF YAHUAH, WHICH WAS REPRESENTED BY THE ARK OF THE BLOOD-COVENANT, YAHUAH'S THRONE IN YISHARAL, ON EARTH.
THE TABERNACLE OF MOSES OR THE TEMPLE OF SOLOMON WERE BUT THE PATTERN AND SHADOW ON EARTH OF THE REAL, THE TRUE AND THE DIVINE TABERNACLE AND TEMPLE. REVELATION SPEAKS OF BOTH THE HEAVENLY TABERNACLE AND TEMPLE. OF COURSE THE ULTIMATE OF YAHUAH'S TABERNACLE IS WHEN IT IS WITHIN MANKIND.
JOHN “ENTERS WITHIN THE VEIL" WHERE THE FORERUNNER, YAHUSHA MESSIAH, HAS ENTERED AND BEEN MADE A HIGH PRIEST FOREVER, AFTER THE ORDER OF MELCHIZEDEK. JOHN EXPERIENCES DIVINE PLACES `IN SPIRIT', WHICH WAS SHADOWED IN YISHARAL WHEN AARON "ENTERS WITHIN THE VEIL" ON THE GREAT DAY OF ATONEMENT.
AARON ENTERED INTO THE VERY PRESENCE OF YAHUAH IN THE SHEKINAH ESTEEM OVER- SHADOWING THE ARK OF THE BLOOD-COVENANT. JOHN, THOUGH ON EARTH (ON THE ISLE OF PATMOS), EXPERIENCES THE SAME `IN SPIRIT’, MADE POSSIBLE BY YAHUSHA’S BLOOD CONNECTING THE DIMENSIONS AGAIN THROUGH PORTAL ACCESS ON HUMAN HEARTS THAT HAVE UNDERGONE A DIVINE OPERATION.
THE OPEN DOOR = ”OPEN HEAVENS"
(PORTAL CONNECTION "in Spirit")
1. ADAM AND EVE HAD `OPEN HEAVENS’ IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN.
2. ENOCH, WALKED RIGHT THROUGH THIS DOOR INTO HEAVEN.
3. MOSES HAD `OPEN HEAVENS’ WHEN HE RECEIVED THE PATTERN OF THE TABERNACLE.
4. ELIJAH WAS TRANSPORTED INTO THE DIMENSION OF HEAVEN.
5. EZEKIEL EXPERIENCED VISIONS AND `OPEN HEAVENS’.
6. JACOB HAD ‘OPEN HEAVENS’ AS HE SAW ANGELS ON THE LADDER.
7. ISAIAH HAD ‘OPEN HEAVENS’ WHEN SAW YAHUAH ON HIS THRONE.
8. DANIEL HAD ‘OPEN HEAVENS’ WHEN HE SAW YAHUAH IN HIS ESTEEM.
9. NATHANIEL WAS PROMISED THE LADDER INTO `OPEN HEAVENS'.
10. PETER KNEW ‘OPEN HEAVENS’ AND VISIONS OF YAHUAH.
11. PAUL WAS CAUGHT UP TO HEAVEN AND REFERS TO IT AS PARADISE.
12. YAHUSHA HAD PERFECT ‘OPEN HEAVENS' ACCESS TO THE FATHER.
12. STEPHEN HAD ‘OPEN HEAVENS’, AND SAW THE ESTEEM OF YAHUSHA.
13. JOHN HAS ‘OPEN HEAVENS’, HERE ON EARTH, AND SEES YAHUSHA.
HEAVEN (SHAMAYIM) IS WHERE YAHUSHA IS (PARADISE) AND THE PLACE OF THE ETERNAL THRONE OF YAHUAH. IT IS NOT THE ATMOSPHERE OR OUT IN SOME COSMIC PLANETARY LOCATION, BUT RIGHT HERE IN ANOTHER DIMENSION, INVISIBLE TO THE HUMAN EYE - IT'S THE IMMEDIATE ESTEEM & PRESENCE OF YAHUSHA.
• HEAVEN IS YAHUAH'S THRONE.
• HEAVEN IS THE MOST SET-APART PLACE, YAHUSHA'S PARADISE.
• THE PORTAL DOOR IS ENTRANCE WITHIN THE HEAVENLY VEIL OF YAHUAH'S SANCTUARY.
• YAHUSHA IS NOT SEEN AS THE GREAT HIGH PRIEST NOW, BUT AS THE LAMB OF YAHUAH.
• IT IS THE THRONEROOM OF YAHUAH'S ESTEEM AND UNAPPROACHABLE LIGHT. JOHN WAS 'IN THE SPIRIT' AND TRANSPORTED TO THE SHEKINAH ESTEEM- WORLD, PARADISE ITSELF, WHERE HE SAW AND HEARD THE THINGS HE WAS ABOUT TO WRITE.
1"After this I looked and saw a DOOR having been opened in the Heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, “OY! COME UP HERE AND I’LL SHOW YOU WHAT'S GOING TO TAKE PLACE AFTER ALL THIS.”
JOHN, AS A JEW, WOULD BE VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE USE OF TRUMPETS, FOR IN ANCIENT YISHARAL, TRUMPET BLASTS WERE A FORM OF COMMUNICATION BY THE PRIESTS ON THE BATTLEFIELD AND ALSO USED IN THE SERVICE OF THE TEMPLE AND REGARDING APPOINTED TIMES ALSO.
"OY, COME UP HERE" — SO ENOCH, ELIJAH, MOSES, EZEKIEL, STEPHEN, PAUL AND OTHERS RESPONDED TO/OR EXPERIENCED THE CALL TO "COME UP HERE", EITHER BODILY OR SPIRITUALLY. JOHN IS HERE BODILY ON EARTH, BUT IN "HEAVENLY PLACES" AND "IN THE SPIRIT.”
"AND I’LL SHOW YOU WHAT'S GOING TO TAKE PLACE AFTER ALL THIS" — YAHUSHA PROMISED THAT, WHEN THE SET-APART SPIRIT CAME, HE WOULD SHOW THE DISCIPLES "THE THINGS TO COME.” AND THE THINGS WHICH WILL TAKE PLACE AFTER IS "THE LAST DAYS OF PLANET EARTH". SO JOHN FINDS HIMSELF, NOT ONLY SEEING INTO ANOTHER DIMENSION THROUGH A PORTAL DOOR, BUT ALSO WORMHOLING INTO SOME FUTURE REALITY WHERE THE EARTH IS BEING DIVINELY JUDGED BY YAHUSHA. AND WHAT WOULD THAT HAVE LOOKED LIKE? JUST TURN ON THE NIGHTLY NEWS, `CAUSE WE'RE LIV'IN IT BABY!!
2"And immediately I was `in Spirit' and saw a Throne set in the Heaven, and One sat on the Throne".
IN REV.3 YAHUSHA SPOKE OF HIM BEING SEATED IN THE FATHER'S THRONE AS WAS THE PROMISE ALSO OFFERED TO THE OVERCOMER. NOW IN REV.4-5 JOHN SEES THAT THRONE. IT IS THE FATHER'S THRONE AND THE SON IS ON THAT THRONE. THE THRONE HERE WOULD CORRESPOND TO THE ARK OF THE BLOOD-COVENANT IN THE TABERNACLE OF MOSES OR TEMPLE OF SOLOMON. THE ARK WAS YAHUAH'S THRONE ON EARTH, IN THE NATION OF YISHARAL. IT WAS A SHADOW IN EARTH OF YAHUAH'S HEAVENLY THRONE. EVERYTHING THAT IS ABOUT TO TAKE PLACE IN THE EARTH, RELATIVE TO THE ASSEMBLY, TO YISHARAL, TO THE WORLD, TO CREATION - ALL PROCEED FROM THIS ESTABLISHED THRONE OF YAHUSHA IN THE HEAVENS.
THE WORD 'THRONE' IS USED SOME SEVENTEEN TIMES IN JUST THESE TWO CHAPTERS ALONE, AND FOR JOHN IT BECOMES THE CENTRE OF THE UNIVERSE. IT'S IMPORTANT TO KEEP THE THRONE OF YAHUAH CENTRAL, FOR JOHN NEEDED THIS ASSURANCE, THAT YAHUSHA ON HIS THRONE, WAS OVER AND ABOVE ALL THE DIVINE JUDGMENTS HE'S ABOUT TO SEE IN THE EARTH. WHATEVER HAPPENS ON EARTH, YAHUSHA AND HIS THRONE ARE SOVEREIGN OVER ALL.
NOTHING HAPPENS ON EARTH THAT HEAVEN DOES NOT ESTABLISH, ALLOW OR FORESEE. THE SOVEREIGNTY OF YAHUSHA IS AN ETERNAL REALITY. THE VISIONS "IN HEAVEN" SHOW JOHN WHAT SHALL TAKE PLACE "ON EARTH", AS SEEN IN ALL THE PATTERNS OF SCRIPTURE.
THE THRONES OF EARTH WILL TOTTER, FALL AND CHANGE. THE THRONE OF SATAN HAS BEEN OVER-TURNED AND CAST DOWN. BUT THE THRONE OF THE ETERNAL YAHUSHA IS UNCHANGED AND UNCHANGEABLE IN NATURE AND CHARACTER, AND THIS IS BECAUSE OF THE ONE WHO SITS ON IT. THIS THRONE IS SET IN HEAVEN. THIS IS THE THRONE ROOM OF YAHUAH AND HIS MESSIAH AND THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNIVERSE.
* THIS IS THE THRONE (ARK) THAT MOSES SAW IN THE REALITY OF THE HEAVENLY TABERNACLE.
* THIS IS THE THRONE THAT DAVID SAW IN THE VISION OF THE TENT HE MADE.
* THIS IS THE THRONE THAT ISAIAH SAW OF YAHUAH.
* THIS IS THE THRONE THAT EZEKIEL SAW IN VISION.
* THIS IS THE THRONE THE PROPHET MICAH SAW, AND THE HOSTS OF YAHUAH STANDING THERE.
* THIS IS THE THRONE THAT JOHN SEES, THE ETERNAL THRONE OF YAHUAH IN THE HEAVENS.
* JUSTICE AND JUDGMENT ARE THE FOUNDATION OF YAHUAH'S THRONE.
* RIGHTEOUSNESS AND JUSTICE ENCOMPASS THIS THRONE. IT IS A THRONE UPHELD BY MERCY AND TRUTH.
* THE VISION OF THE SAME THRONE IS ALSO SEEN BY DANIEL.
* JOHN'S VISION OF THE THRONE HAS MUCH IN COMMON WITH DANIEL'S VISION, AS THOUSANDS SERVE AROUND THAT FIERY THRONE OF THE ANCIENT OF DAYS AND THE SON OF MAN.
* YAHUSHA IS KING-PRIEST UPON THIS THRONE.
NOTHING CAN OR EVER WILL SHAKE THE THRONE OF YAHUAH. THE THRONE REMAINS THE SAME, EXCEPT THAT IT IS SEEN NOW AS "A THRONE OF FAVOUR", BUT, IN THE TIMES THAT JOHN IS ABOUT TO SEE, IT BECOMES "A THRONE OF JUDGMENT". "When Your judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness, so let favor be shown or they will not learn" (IS 26).
SO, EVERYTHING IN HEAVEN (AND RELATIVE TO EARTH) HAS TO DO WITH THE THRONE. WHAT STRENGTH AND PEACE WOULD COME TO JOHN'S HEART AND MIND, AS WELL AS TO THE BELIEVERS OF THAT TIME, AND FOR ALL TIME. THE THRONES OF THE ROMAN CAESARS WOULD FALL. YAHUSHA’S THRONE REMAINS. YAHUSHA IS ABOVE ALL AND NOTHING TAKES PLACE EXCEPT IN RELATION TO THE CONTROL AND GOVERNMENT OF THAT THRONE. THE JUDGMENTS OF YAHUSHA IN THE EARTH WILL BE REGULATED BY THAT THRONE. ALL THE HOSTS OF HEAVEN ARE SERVANTS OF THAT THRONE.
Enthroned in the Tabernacle & Temple on the Ark, then in a perfect man, and now in the NEW HEARTS (living temples) of His Bride!
Even though Yahusha has not yet bodily returned, through the power of His Set-Apart Spirit (and a Divine Heart Operation), the invitation to "COME UP HERE SO I CAN SHOW YOU WHAT HAPPENS NEXT" is still fully available for all genuine applicants. A DOOR HAS BEEN OPENED to enter in `through the veil' (that is His flesh and blood) to the Throneroom of our Resurrected King ... to be counciled, disciplined, flogged and trained to overcome and produce GOOD BEHAVIOUR, in readiness for the Wedding Feast ... DIRECT ACCESS TO YAHUSHA where we experience Spiritual Fruits, not only for our encouragement and intimacy but fruits for SPIRITUAL WARFARE ... a complete powerpack of LOVE, JOY, PEACE, PATIENCE, KINDNESS, GOODNESS, TRUST, GENTLENESS & SELF-CONTROL.
SCRIPTURE IS A BOOK OF BLOOD, TEACHING US THROUGH OLD SHADOWS, HOW TO APPROACH OUR CREATOR, AND HAVE YAHUSHA WITHIN, EXPERIENCING A LOVE AVAILABLE NO WHERE ELSE.
SHADOW > YAHUSHA
YAHUSHA SAID HE'S STANDING AT THE DOOR KNOCKING, WAITING TO GIVE YOU THIS LIFE-CHANGING EXPERIENCE OF HIS LOVE.
SO WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
