The Revelation of Yeshua to Yochanan

Go to the index page for: The Revelation From Yeshua to Yochanan

Once again please remember that the chapters and verses contained in our Bibles were added later to assist in referencing the texts and so on. They are not intended to direct the flow of the texts.

Chapter thirteen ended with the introduction of the False Prophet and the issuance of the Mark of the Beast. Thus far (as of February 19.2023 CE) the Mark of the Beast has not yet been directly introduced. However as I wrote here in the original 2009 text and have been warning since the 1970's, the shadow of Beast has been drawing closer for a great many years. Today, in 2023, we are seeing the dress rehersal of it's implimentation with the lock downs, intentional food shortages, fear mongering fake news reports, mandatory injections than are killing far more peoiple than all of the preceeding real vaccinations combined. Coupled with dawning of the global digital currency, tracking gps technology, graphite implants, and the acceptence of QR codes, there can be no doubt that the Globalists Mark of the Beast is now ready for universal implimentation. It's just a matter of their choice in timing at this poiont. On November 16, 1936 the first Social Security (SS) Numbers (SSN) were issued in the United States. There was concern at the time that the SS System might one day be used as a national ID, but the government put all such concerns to rest in the minds of the gullible public. They promised the American people that would never happen. The government lied... as usual. Today one can do precious little without the SSN. But it's not the Mark either. It's just one of the many unheeded warnings of their intentions to impliment it.

Today the SSN serves as the touchstone of all other forms of identification. U.S. Driver licenses (first issued in July 1913 by the state of New Jersey) were gradually linked with SSN numbers as were all medical records etc. Today Real ID is uniting all other systems into a national ID card. What's worse, according to many in-the-know people like Joe Biden, Real ID will soon form the basis of mandatory computer implants. Doubt this? Watch this:

Joe Biden promises mandatory microchip implant Supreme Court ruling

The Globalist pulled the above the video for truth telling, I leave the link up as a warning. Here is Biden saying the technology is ready and is going to be released soon:

It's not a question of if, but when they will release the completed digial technology to enslave us.

The Real I.D Microchip

It is likely that the Mark will continue to be rolled out gradually until the "Middle of the Week" when failure to accept it will mean the death penalty, however even before the first period begun they seem ready to pull the trigger. This is not science fiction, it is science fact. The technology exists and is already being implimented in animals and in some cases even humans. The issuance of Social Security Numbers was a major step toward acculturating the nation and the world to embrace the Mark. Most will.

When the Globalist are ready, the Mark of the Beast will probably be gradually released to the public, like the Death Shot was. At first the more zealous supporters of Rex Mundi will hurry to receive theirs as a social virtuing statement. Next, those on government programs such as the military, Social Security, unemployment insurance etc. will be required to take the Mark to receive benefits. Gradually the noose will be tightened and the System will lock out all who refuse to take it from buying or selling. In time police and military might will seek out those who remain un-marked for "disappearance." At this point in the Revelation (14:1) we parenthetically return for a moment to the time period covered at Revelation 7:4:

Revelation 14:1 And I saw, and behold, a little lamb [arnion] standing on Mount Zion, and with him a hundred and forty and four thousand, having his name, and the name of his Father, written on their foreheads [met'-o-pon : the space between the eyes].

This little lamb is not the Mashiach as many believe. The text does not say "the Lamb" but arnion, a little lamb. At John 21:15 Yeshua tells Peter to feed his arnion. This little lamb is referencing those who will be sacrificed among the Jews during this period. Zion is the Holy Mount in Jerusalem of course, the City of HaShem and future world capital under Mashiach ben David. Concerning these 144,000 we read previously:

Revelation 7:4 And I heard the number of them that were sealed, a hundred and forty and four thousand, sealed out of every tribe of the children of Israel:

Yochanan is reminding his readers that we have viewed this scene before: these will be twelve thousand repentant Israelites, trapped in the Old City of Jerusalem by the surrounding hordes of Magog. They will have been sealed or annointed by God for special service. These will come from each of the twelve houses of Israel. A "Great Multitude of Gentiles" will be assisting them directly and indirectly. We discussed this in chapter seven. This scene will occur as Mashiach ben Yosef rises to power. He will restore the previously divorced Ten Houses, known collectively as Ephraim, for the re-establishment of Israel as foretold.

Now Yochanan sees these same Jewish emissaries standing as "lambs for the slaughter" (Jeremiah 51:40) on Holy Mount Zion, ready for action. Once the Abomination of Desolation (Daniel 9:27; II Thessalonians 2) is committed some Jews will flee the City for Petra and other locations in modern Jordan (Jordan is biblically part of Israel and will be restored to us by Mashiach ben Yosef during this period), and other locations, while these hundred and forty-four thousand will remain in Jerusalem making teshuvah (repentance) for the nation and resisting the Globalists in various ways, realizing that without divine intervention the Jewish people are about to be genocided completly. We can understand therefore that this verse is showing Mashiach ben Yosef directing his troops for the upcoming battles against the Global Union, specifically, Russia, China, and Al Ikwan (the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood).

In this chapter Yochanan is setting the stage for his upcoming description of Babylon the Great. He will have much more to say on this subject in chapters seventeen and eighteen. Our time line therefore is somewhat fluid in this chapter.

We continue reading:

14:1 And I saw, and behold, the little lambs [arnion] standing on Mount Zion, and together [autos] they equaled a hundred and forty four thousand, having their names [autos] united with the name of their Father written on their foreheads.
2 And I heard a Voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and the voice which I heard was as the voice of harpers harping with their harps:
3 and they sing as it were a new song before the throne [thronos, i.e. the Merkaba], and before the four living creatures and the elders: and no one could learn the song except the hundred and forty and four thousand, only those who had been purchased [agorazo] from the earth.
4 These are they who were not defiled with women; for they are virgins [parthenos]. These are they who unite with lambs whithersoever they are led [Hupago]. These were purchased from among humanity, as firstfruits unto God and unto the Lamb.
5 And in their mouth was found no lie: they are without blemish.

Again the Jewish identity of the 144,000 as the bikkurim, first fruits of God's End Time Gleaning is stated (Deuteronomy 26:2). They are of the "first fruit" and they have received a new song, the Song of the Messianic Kingdom known as the Olam Haba. It is most likely that the reference to their being virgins refers to their spiritual purity rather than their physical state; they have no relations with Pagan gods. These 144,000 Jews will serve as Mashiach ben Yosef's "Special Forces" and their loyalty will be beyond question.

14:6 And I saw another angel flying in mid-heaven, having eternal good tidings to proclaim unto them that dwell on the earth, and unto every nation and tribe and tongue and people;
7 He proclaims with a great voice, "Fear God alone, and give Him glory; for the hour of His judgment is come! Worship He who made the heaven and the earth and sea and fountains of waters."

There is no reason to take this in any way other than literal. As humanity advances through the Seven Years, HaShem's existence and Will for homo sapien humankind will be made abundantly clear to everyone. This may be the same angel who rises from the East at Revelation 7:2, but this is not certain. This angel in any event will shout for all to hear this warning and admonition. It appears that everyone on Earth will hear this angel's words audibly.

14:8 And another, a second angel, followed, saying, "Fallen, fallen is Babylon the Great, that has made all the nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.

Here for the first time Babylon the Great is mentioned by name. Note that the angel announces that Babylon has fallen! We will discuss this in lots of detail in chapters seventeen and eighteen. For now notice that Babylon the Great has made the nations (the people of the Earth) drunk with her fornications. In the Bible, spiritual treason against HaShem is often described as fornication (Examples are many, including: Jeremiah 3:20, Isaiah 1:21; 57:8; Ezekiel 16:30, and many more). Again, there will be a lot more about Babylon in chapters seventeen and eighteen. Yochanan is only giving us an overview here. I noted in my commentaries on chapter thirteen that the False Prophet of Babylon the Great will oversee the idol and Mark of the Beast. Particularly note the next two verses in this regard:

14:9 And another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a great voice, If any man worships the Beast and his image, and receives a mark [Charagma: a a stamp, an imprinted mark] on his forehead, or upon his hand,
10 he also will drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is prepared unmixed in the cup of His anger; and He will be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the sacrifical lambs [arnion: in context, in the presence of those who couragely stand again him, the martyrs].

The proximity of these two verses is not a coincidence.

14:11 and the smoke of their torment ascends for ever and ever; and they have no rest day and night, they that worship the Beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.
12 Here is the patience of the saints: all who keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Yeshua [i.e. emunah in HaShem as he advocated].

The meaning here is that as we face the various coming persecutions, as we witness the death of loved ones, and the overspreading of evil, we can rest secure in our faith that HaShem is always victorious and that there will be a time of reckoning (Revelation 6:11). We can be certain that the Messianic Olam Haba will be established and that the New World Order is going down! So, "having done all you can to stand... Stand! (Ephesians 6:13).

14:13 And I heard the voice from heaven saying, Write, Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from henceforth: yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; for their works follow with them.

The idea of being killed or of sacrificing ones life is not pleasant for anyone, however it will be the testimony of the martyrs that will seal Rex Mundi's fate. Blessed are all who are privileged to take part in this coming sacrifice!

14:14 And I saw, and behold, a white cloud; and on the cloud I saw one sitting like unto a son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand sharp sickle.

Now Yochanan sees Mashiach ben David, a human, a son of man, crowned as King of Israel. This white cloud represents the great cloud of martyrs who have washed their robes white (pure) through their willing sacrifices (Revelation 7:14). Now they have "resisted to blood," which is to say, to the death. These are they who were told to rest for yet a little while until their peers were martyred (Revelation 6:11). That this is the meaning of the cloud here is admittedly interpretation on my part, but given the preceding verse I feel it's an accurate one. The holy blood of martyrs is a powerful thing!

14:15 And another angel came out from the temple, crying with a great voice to him that sat on the cloud, Send forth your sickle, and reap: for the hour to reap is come; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.

Previously when Yochanan beheld Mashiach ben David enthroned he spoke of his grandeur as sovereign of Israel and overlord of the nations (11:15), now he witnesses HaShem's order for him to end the Great Tribulation. The warriors assembled on the plains of Megiddo, those in Jerusalem and throughout the area are here likened to ripe grapes! These people dare resist Mashiach even now, but HaShem will crush them into pulp and their blood will flow as red wine! The general understanding here is clarified by Rebbe Nachman of Breslov:

Mashiach will conquer the entire world without firing a single bullet (Siach Sarfey Kodesh 1-67)

Under the direction of Mashiach ben David, Mashiach ben Yosef will fight the enemies of God and triumph. Israel will be restored to the bounderies designated by HaShem. Once Israel is restored, ben Yosef will hand the nation to ben David. The Book of Revelation does not discuss the service of Mashiach ben Yosef but to better understnd what is coming it is good to know about him. I discuss the two Messiahs here

Yochanan continues:

14:16 And he that sat on the cloud cast his sickle upon the earth; and the earth was reaped.
17 Another angel came out from the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.
18 And another angel came out from the altar, he that has power over fire; and he called with a great voice to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Send forth your sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.
19 And the angel cast his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vintage of the earth, and cast it into the winepress, the great winepress of the wrath of God.
20 The winepress is trodden outside the city, and there came out blood from the winepress, even to the bridles of the horses, as far as a thousand and six hundred furlongs [or 182.8 miles, 292.6 Kilometers].

A stadion is a space or distance of about 600 feet (185 m). Therefore this measurement tells us that at ground zero of the battle of Har Megiddo (Armageddon), an area of approximately 960,000 feet or 181.8 miles (292.6 Kilometers) will be literally flowing with blood from this battle! The statement that blood will flow "even to the bridles of the horses" is unimaginable, but literal or not, the scene will be absolutely gruesome as the Sons of Light fight the Sons of Darkness for control of Zion!

It is important to note that there are two critical wars discussed in the Book of Revelation: the global War of Magog and the final Battle of Har Megiddo (or Armageddon). The prophets of the Tanach focus mainly on the Magog War. Yochanan reveals previously unknown details about the final battle of the War of Magog. We'll discuss the War of Magog later in this study. This text is referencing the Battle of Har Megiddo (Armageddon), the battle that will witness the destruction of Rex Mundi and end the Great Re-set to Paganism.
