SO JOHN'S FOCUS HAS BEEN SHIFTED FROM SEEING AND WRITING ABOUT THE SEVEN ASSEMBLIES, TO BEING SHOT FORWARD THROUGH TIME AND SPACE INTO THE FUTURE (THE END-TIMES) THROUGH AN OPEN PORTAL DOOR, WHERE HE SAW YAHUSHA REIGNING AND RULING FROM HIS FATHER'S THRONE IN ALL POWER AND SOVEREIGNTY. NOTHING HAPPENS IN HEAVEN OR EARTH WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE OR DECISION FROM THE THRONE AND HAND OF YAHUSHA.
'THE ONE' IS UNDOUBTEDLY YAHUAH, THE CREATOR AND SUSTAINER OF THE UNIVERSE OF WORLDS. JOHN SEES THE INDESCRIBABLE YAHUAH, THE ALMIGHTY (too unusual, extreme or indefinite to be adequately described). NO ONE CAN SEE YAHUAH AND LIVE. YET JOHN WAS "IN THE SPIRIT" TO SEE YAHUAH WHO IS SPIRIT. FLESH MUST 'DIE' IN HIS PRESENCE, AND SPIRIT MUST CONTACT SPIRIT. THE ONE IN THE THRONE WAS SEATED FOR IT IS THE POSITION OF AUTHORITY, CONTROL, ORDER AND GOVERNMENT, NEVER TO BE DETHRONED, REPLACED OR SUPERSEDED BY ANOTHER. HE REIGNS OVER ALL. HE IS THE SOVEREIGN YAHUAH AND EVERYTHING IS UNDER HIS FEET. AND THAT STATUS IS STILL CURRENT WHEN WE LOOK AT THE WORLDY CATASTROPHES TODAY - ALL BY HIS HAND!
3And He who sat there was like a JASPER and a RUBY stone in appearance. And there was a rainbow around the throne, like an emerald in appearance.
1. THE JASPER STONE - THIS STONE IS ALWAYS RELATED TO THE ESTEEM OF YAHUAH, OR YAHUAH REVEALED AS LIGHT. YAHUAH DWELLS IN LIGHT, UNAPPROACHABLE LIGHT, WHO NO MAN HAS SEEN OR CAN SEE. CRYSTAL CLEARNESS AND TRANSPARENCY OF BEING, THE ESTEEM OF YAHUAH LIKENED TO THE LIGHT OF PRECIOUS STONES.
NO IMAGE CAN BE MADE OF THE ETERNAL YAHUAH FOR HE IS BEYOND HUMAN IMAGINATION OR DESCRIPTION. HE IS IMAGE-LESS AND NO WORDS COULD SUFFICE IN EXPLANATION, THEREFORE JOHN CAN ONLY DESCRIBE HIM USING THE MAGNIFICENT ESTEEM OF PRECIOUS STONES AND JEWELS AND OTHER FORMS OF EARTHLY NATURE.
THE JASPER AND SARDINE STONE (RUBY) ARE SEEN ON LUCIFER BEFORE HIS FALL, AS THE ESTEEM OF YAHUAH. THE CITY OF YAHUAH HAS THE ESTEEM OF YAHUAH LIKE A JASPER AND RUBY STONE. THE JASPER STONE WAS IN THE EPHOD BREASTPLATE OF JUDGMENT ON THE HIGH PRIEST (EX.28). IT WAS THE FIRST STONE, AS REUBEN WAS THE FIRSTBORN SON. REUBEN MEANS "BEHOLD, THE SON", POINTING TO YAHUSHA MESSIAH WHO IS THE SON OF YAHUAH (THE ONLY LIVING ALAHIM) TO BEHOLD. HE IS ALSO THE FIRST AND THE LAST, AND CLOTHED WITH THE LIGHT AND ESTEEM OF YAHUAH THE FATHER.
2. THE RUBY (SARDIUS) STONE - THIS STONE IS A BLOOD-RED COLOUR, LIKE A RED RUBY STONE. IT WAS THE STONE OF BENJAMIN, WHICH WAS THE LAST STONE IN THE BREASTPLATE OF JUDGMENT ON THE HIGH PRIEST, AARON. WHEN BENJAMIN WAS BORN, HIS MOTHER, RACHEL, NAMED HIM "BENOMI" MEANING, "SON OF MY SORROW". BUT HIS FATHER, JACOB, NAMED HIM, "BENJAMIN", OR "SON OF MY RIGHT HAND". AGAIN, ALL POINTS TO MESSIAH YAHUSHA. FOR AS FAR AS MARY (HIS MOTHER) WAS CONCERNED, HIS BIRTH WAS "SON OF SORROW" AND ACQUAINTED WITH CALVARY'S GRIEF, BUT IN THE RESURRECTION, THE FATHER NAMED HIM AS "BENJAMIN", OR "THE SON OF MY RIGHT HAND".
"BEHOLD, THE SON!" IN HIS EARTHLY SERVICE HE WAS THE MAN OF SORROWS, BUT IN HIS HEAVENLY SERVICE, HE IS THE SON OF THE RIGHT HAND. IN THE FIRST AND LAST STONES, WE SEE HIM WHO IS THE FIRST AND THE LAST. THESE TITLES, AS HAS BEEN SEEN, ARE APPLIED TO BOTH FATHER AND SON. THE JASPER AND RUBY STONES DESCRIBE THE ALAHIM OF ESTEEM, LIGHT AND DELIVERANCE, AS REVEALED IN YAHUSHA MESSIAH. YAHUAH WHO IS LIGHT, DWELLS IN UNAPPROACHABLE LIGHT, AS A CONSUMING FIRE AND ABSOLUTE DAZZLING BRIGHTNESS!
AS THE FIRST AND LAST STONES IN THE BREASTPLATE, IT POINTED TO THE FACT THAT YAHUSHA IS ALSO "THE FIRST AND THE LAST”, THE BEGINNING AND THE ENDING OF YAHUAH'S REDEMPTIVE PLAN. THE COLOUR OF THE STONE SPOKE OF REDEMPTION, THE ATONEMENT, THE BLOOD OF YAHUSHA MESSIAH.
3And He who sat there was like a jasper and a ruby stone in appearance. And there was a RAINBOW around the throne, like an emerald in appearance.
THE SCRIPTURE PROVIDES US WITH FOUR MAJOR PASSAGES WHICH CONCERN THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE RAINBOW :
1. THE RAINBOW - WAS THE SIGN OF THE BLOOD-COVENANT MADE WITH NOAH AND WITH EVERY LIVING CREATURE ON EARTH, THAT HE WOULD NEVER AGAIN DESTROY THE EARTH BY A FLOOD OF WATERS (A BLOOD-COVENANT FOR ALL GENERATIONS). THE RAINBOW WAS THE TOKEN, SIGN OR SEAL OF THIS PROMISE. YAHUAH CALLS IT "MY BLOOD-COVENANT" AND "MY BOW". THE BOW IS OF HEAVENLY ORIGIN. IT IS YAHUAH'S DIVINE BOW. IT IS A SIGN OF HIS PROMISE OF MERCY IN THE MIDST OF JUDGMENT.
IT IS A SIGN THAT HE WILL KEEP HIS WORD. IT IS A SIGN OF THE BLOOD-COVENANT BETWEEN HEAVEN AND EARTH. IT IS THE FOURTH OF THE HEAVENLY SIGNS, AFTER THE SUN, MOON AND STARS. THE RAINBOW AROUND THE THRONE WOULD REMIND JOHN THAT YAHUAH WAS A BLOOD-COVENANT-MAKING AND BLOOD-COVENANT-KEEPING ALAHIM.
3. RAINBOW - ENCIRCLED THRONE. IT IS THE FULL OR COMPLETE CIRCLE. MANKIND SEES BUT HALF OF THE BOW ON EARTH, BUT HEAVEN SEES THE COMPLETE BOW, THE BEGINNING AND THE ENDING, BLENDED IN ONE COMPLETE WHOLE. HEAVEN SEES THE COMPLETE CYCLE OR COMPLETE RAINBOW OF YAHUAH. MAN BARELY SEES THE HALF - YAHUSHA SEES THE WHOLE!
...THE NEW BLOOD-COVENANT PERSONIFIED. THE ULTIMATE FULFILMENT OF THE TRUTH SYMBOLISED IN THE RAINBOW IS FOUND IN THE SON OF YAHUAH, BECAUSE OF WHO HE IS. THE RAINBOW THEN IS THE SYMBOL OF YAHUAH'S OWN BEING AND PERSON, REVEALED AS LIGHT. THE RAINBOW IS ALWAYS REVEALED IN CONNECTION WITH AND IN RELATION TO HIS CREATURES AND PLANET EARTH. IT IS THE SIGN OF THE BLOOD-COVENANT WITH NOAH, WHICH WAS ALSO AN EVERLASTING BLOOD-COVENANT. IT IS THE SIGN OF MERCY IN THE MIDST OF DIVINE JUDGMENTS. REVELATION, BEING A BOOK OF RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENTS, BY THE RAINBOW, SHOWS THAT YAHUAH DOES NOT FORGET HIS BLOOD-COVENANT WITH MANKIND AND EVERY LIVING CREATURE.
2. THE RAINBOW WAS THE BRIGHTNESS OF YAHUAH'S ESTEEM. EZEKIEL SAW THE APPEARANCE OF THE RAINBOW IN BRIGHTNESS AROUND THE THRONE OF YAHUAH IN THE LIKENESS OF THE ESTEEM OF YAHUAH. THE LIVING CREATURES WERE THERE. EZEKIEL, AS A PROPHET OF JUDGMENT, SEES THAT "IN WRATH YAHUAH REMEMBERS MERCY". THE PROMISE OF MERCY IN THE MIDST OF JUDGMENT IS THE MESSAGE OF THE RAINBOW, THE BOW IN THE CLOUD.
4. RAINBOW OF YAHUSHA. LATER, JOHN SEES THE MIGHTY ANGEL OF THE BLOOD-COVENANT, CLOTHED WITH A CLOUD AND THE RAINBOW IS AROUND HIS HEAD - THE RAINBOW OF LIGHT. HIS FACE IS AS THE SUN, BLAZING WITH LIGHT. HIS FEET ARE AS PILLARS OF FIRE. THE LANGUAGE HERE IS NOT APPLYING TO AN ORDINARY ANGELIC SPIRIT BEING BUT TO YAHUSHA MESSIAH...
5. THE RAINBOW IS BROKEN LIGHT FORMED BY THE REFRACTION AND REFLECTION OF THE SUN'S RAYS IN THE DROPS OF FALLING RAIN IN THAT PART OF THE SKY OPPOSITE THE SUN. THE RAIN-DROPS FORM A SPECTRUM OR PRISM THROUGH WHICH THE LIGHT PASSES AND IS MANIFESTED IN THE COLOURS OF THE RAINBOW (A COLOURED ARC OPPOSITE THE SUN). EARTH SEES BUT THE ONE HALF, HEAVEN SEES THE WHOLE BOW, THAT WHICH IS COMPLETE BEFORE YAHUAH. THE RAINBOW IS "BROKEN LIGHT". IT IS LIGHT WITH COLOUR, WHICH HAS BECOME BROKEN BY PASSING THROUGH A PRISM. IT TAKES THE STORMS AND CLOUDS AND THE RAIN TO SHOW THE RAINBOW.
THE LIGHT OF THE SUN IS ONE (A UNITY), BUT AS THIS ONE LIGHT IS "BROKEN" THEN IT IS REVEALED AS THE BEAUTIFUL COLOURED RAINBOW OF THE BLOOD-COVENANT. YAHUAH IS LIGHT, AS THE LIGHT OF THE SUN! THE STORMS AND CLOUDS OF WRATH WERE REVEALED AGAINST SIN, ONTO YAHUSHA MESSIAH AT CALVARY AND THE TORTURE STAKE BECAME THE SPECTRUM OR PRISM WHICH YAHUAH'S LIGHT AND FIRE PASSED THROUGH, AND AFTER THE STORMS OF JUDGMENT ON YAHUSHA, THERE WAS REVEALED THE SIGN OF YAHUAH'S NEW BLOOD-COVENANT.
IT TAKES THE SUN-LIGHT OF THE FATHER, BY THE SET-APART SPIRIT (AS OUTPOURED RAIN) TO REVEAL YAHUSHA, AS THE RAINBOW SIGN OF "BROKEN AND REVEALED LIGHT." THIS IS INVOLVED IN THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE RAINBOW AROUND YAHUSHA'S HEAD IN REV.10. THINK OF THE 12 PRECIOUS STONES IN THE BREASTPLATE OF THE HIGH PRIEST. THINK OF THE COLOURS IN THE CURTAINS OF THE TAB. THINK OF A PEARL AND THE RAINBOW LIGHT IN IT AS BROUGHT TO THE SURFACE. THINK OF THE CITY OF LIGHT, HAVING ALL MANNER OF PRECIOUS STONES, AND ESTEEM. THINK OF JOSEPH'S COAT OF MANY COLOURS, POINTING TO THE ESTEEM OF COLOURS - LIGHT!
YAHUSHA WAS JUDGED FOR OUR SINS. HE ENDURED THE STORMS OF YAHUAH'S WRATH, WHEN THE SUN WAS DARKENED AT NOON. YAHUSHA IS THE "BROKEN LIGHT" OF YAHUAH TO US. IT IS THROUGH HIS BROKENNESS THAT THE SET-APART SPIRIT COMES TO HIS BRIDE AS "EARLY AND LATTER RAINS" PROVIDING HER A DIVINE OPERATION. YAHUAH IN WRATH REMEMBERED MERCY.
THOUGH THE DAYS OF NOAH AND SODOM AND EGYPT ARE REPEATED, AND THE JUDGMENTS AND PLAGUES OF WRATH POUND THE EARTH, YAHUSHA WILL PRESERVE HIS ELECT, AND "IN WRATH HE'LL REMEMBER MERCY". THE SIGN OF THIS BLOOD-COVENANT PROMISE IS AROUND THE THRONE. THE DISCIPLES (LIKE JOHN) WILL RECOGNISE THIS SIGN AND REST IN TRUST AND THE TRUTH IN IT.
3And there was a rainbow around the throne, like an EMERALD in appearance.
HE CAME TO EARTH AND BECAME THE SON OF YAHUAH ON THE FOURTH DAY OF YAHUAH'S REDEMPTIVE WEEK. FOUR IS THE NUMBER OF EARTH, IT IS THE NUMBER OF THE YAHUAH-MAN, YAHUAH COMING TO EARTH AND REVEALED AS MAN IN THE PERSON OF YAHUSHA MESSIAH. IN THE MIDST OF THE UNAPPROACHABLE LIGHT, THE DAZZLING BRILLIANCE OF YAHUAH ON THE THRONE, JOHN BEHOLDS THE RAINBOW, OF SOFTEST GREEN, THE MOST RESTFUL COLOUR TO HUMAN EYES.
IN RELATION TO THE THRONE, IT IS THE THRONE OF THE ETERNAL DEITY. IN RELATION TO YAHUSHA ON THE THRONE OF HIS FATHER, THESE STONES REVEAL THAT HE IS THE FIRST AND THE LAST, THE BRIGHTNESS OF THE FATHER'S ESTEEM, AND THE OUTSHINING OF HIS BEING, THAT IS, LIGHT. HE IS THE SON OF SORROW, THE SON OF THE RIGHT HAND. HE IS THE KING OF KINGS AND THE PRAISE OF ALL THE REDEEMED, THE LION OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH. IN HIM, AND UPON HIS HEART AS OUR GREAT HIGH PRIEST, ARE ALL THE PRECIOUS STONES WITH THE NAMES OF THE REDEEMED AND THE NAMES OF YISHARAL.
IT IS THE THRONE OF THE BLOOD REDEMPTION BY THE LAMB OF YAHUAH (RUBY), AND IT IS THE THRONE OF A BLOOD-COVENANT-KEEPING YAHUAH (EMERALD). THIS IS ALL UPON THE BASIS OF THE NEW BLOOD-COVENANT IN MESSIAH YAHUSHA. SO THE SCENE HERE IS FITTING TO THE ETERNAL FOUR-FOLD SCRIPTURAL DEFINITION OF YAHUAH, BEING THAT HE'S :
1).SPIRIT ...
2).LIGHT ...
3).CONSUMING FIRE ...
4).LOVE ...
LIKE AN EMERALD
THE EMERALD STONE IS THE COLOUR OF FRESH, SOFT, LIVING GREEN. GREEN IS THE COLOUR OF EARTH, NATURE, GRASS AND TREES.
THE EMERALD STONE WAS JUDAH'S STONE (IN THE HIGH PRIEST BREASTPLATE), THE FOURTH SON OF JACOB. JUDAH WAS THE ROYAL, KINGLY TRIBE, THE TRIBE WHICH HELD THE SCEPTRE OF THE THRONE OF DAVID. IT SPEAKS OF YAHUSHA MESSIAH AS KING AND SCEPTRE-HOLDER OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH, THE SON OF DAVID (IN THE FLESH).
THERE ARE THREE STONES MENTIONED HERE RELATIVE TO THE THRONE OF YAHUAH :
I. THE JASPER
( REUBEN'S STONE "BEHOLD A SON" )
2. THE RUBY/SARDIUS
( BENJAMIN'S STONE "SON OF THE RIGHT HAND" )
3. THE EMERALD
( JUDAH'S STONE "PRAISE" THE LION OF JUDAH )
THESE THREE STONES WERE FOUND IN LUCIFER'S COVERING. THESE THREE STONES WERE FOUND IN THE BREASTPLATE OF THE HIGH PRIEST. THESE THREE STONES ARE FOUND IN THE FOUNDATIONS OF THE BRIDAL-CITY. THESE THREE STONES ARE SEEN IN RELATION TO THE THRONE ROOM OF YAHUAH. THE THRONE OF YAHUAH IS THEREFORE, A THRONE OF FIERY SET-APARTNESS AND PERFECTION, UNAPPROACHABLE AND BLAZING SHEKINAH ESTEEM-LIGHT AND BRILLIANCE (JASPER).
3And He who sat there was like a jasper and a ruby stone in appearance. And there was a rainbow around the Throne, like an emerald in appearance.
4And around the Throne were twenty-four Thrones, and on the Thrones I saw twenty-four elders sitting, dressed in white robes. And they had crowns of gold on their heads. 5And out of the Throne came lightnings and thunders and voices.
THIS IS THE FIRST MENTION OF THIS PHRASE IN REVELATION. ALL THESE THINGS ARE INDICATIVE OF THE JUDGMENTS OF YAHUAH ABOUT TO BE MANIFEST IN THE EARTH, AND SPEAK OF YAHUAH COMING INTO ACTION. IN THE PLAGUES OF EGYPT, YAHUAH SENT LIGHTNINGS, THUNDERINGS AND VOICES. AT MT SINAI, THE DIVINE LAW WERE DELIVERED AMIDST THESE SIMILAR MANIFESTATIONS, DESIGNED TO CAUSE FEAR AND TERROR OF THE MAJESTY AND JUDGMENTS OF A PERFECT YAHUAH.
THE NATIONS AND MANY PEOPLE FEAR WHEN LIGHTNING AND THUNDER STRIKE THE EARTH. THESE THINGS CAN CAUSE TERROR, DESTRUCTION, CHAOS AND CONFUSION WHEN THEIR EFFECTS ARE SEEN IN THE EARTH AND UPON MANKIND.
THE EARTHQUAKE BECOMES SIGNIFICANT OF THE BREAK-UP OF EVERYTHING, RELATIVE TO THE ESTABLISHED EARTH-SYSTEMS. “NOW HAS THE HOUR OF JUDGMENT COME”. THE FATHER SPOKE AND YAHUSHA HEARD HIS VOICE, BUT OTHERS SAID IT THUNDERED! THEY COULD NOT HEAR OR DISCERN WHAT YAHUSHA WAS ABLE TO HEAR AND DISCERN. IN REV.22 JOHN SEES A RIVER THAT PROCEEDS OUT OF THE THRONE OF YAHUAH AND THE LAMB.
HERE JOHN SEES AND HEARS "THUNDERINGS, LIGHTNINGS AND VOICES" PROCEEDING OUT OF THAT SAME THRONE. JUDGMENTS ARE BEING MANIFEST IN THIS EARTH SO THAT THE INHABITANTS OF THE WORLD WILL REPENT AND BE IMMERSED INTO THE NAME OF YAHUSHA!
THESE THINGS ARE SIGNS OF YAHUSHA COMING INTO ACTIVITY IN THE EARTH. YAHUSHA IS STIRRING HIMSELF UP TO ACT, TO INTERVENE AND TO JUDGE IN THE AFFAIRS OF WICKED MANKIND IN THE EARTH. THESE THINGS PROCEED OUT OF THE THRONE, FROM YAHUSHA HIMSELF.
BROTHERS & SISTERS, JUDGMENT IS HAPPENING NOW AS WE SPEAK - IT'S ONLY GETTING WORSE AND YAHUSHA WILL NOT LET UP !
Just as it was in the `Days of Noah' where mankind was eating and drink, marrying and giving in marriage, completely unaware (and being judged for it) ... THE BRIDE IS GETTING READY FOR THE END!!
