His Secret
Chapter 16
The Host of Heaven
Another metaphor for the stars is “the host of heaven.”
And hath gone and served other gods, and worshipped them, either the sun, or moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded; - Deuteronomy 17:3
The verse is speaking about the heathen that worship the sun, moon, and host of heaven. Looking at this through the Spiritual Overlay we will find that the sun is representative of the Scorpions, the moon is representative of the Multitude, and the host of heaven must be referring to the stars. This verse is speaking about the terrestrial sun, moon, and stars. But when this is applied in the spiritual, we find all three groups are in the sun, moon, and stars for the 1/3 of the stars are the Serpents; and we also find all three groups in the stars as Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades.
Let’s look at the definition for the word host to determine if this host of heaven could possible be speaking about these three groups of people, the Serpents, the Scorpions, and the Multitude.
The word host is defined as; a mass of persons (or figuratively, things), especially reg. organized for war (an army); by implication, a campaign, literally or figuratively (specifically, hardship, worship):--appointed time, (+) army, (+) battle, company, host, service, soldiers, war(-fare). [1]
The under-definition for host is; to mass (an army or servants):--assemble, fight, perform, muster, wait upon, war. [2]
These definitions fit perfectly with what we know about these three groups that are divided within the church. Every single group is a mass of persons assembled for war. The Serpents are a company of soldiers as are the Scorpions. They come against the Multitude in the Battle of Armageddon. They assemble themselves for battle. The Multitude is also a company of soldiers; soldiers for Christ that will be taken in battle, stripped bare, placed into captivity, convicted, and executed. This is becoming clearer all the time.
And he said, Hear thou therefore the word of the LORD: I saw the LORD sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left. - 1Kings 22:19
Here is an additional detail. The host of heaven; being the three groups of stars are standing by the Lord. Some of the stars are on standing on His right hand and some are standing on His left hand. Can you guess which ones are standing on His left hand and on His right hand?
When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: [32] And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: [33] And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
- Matthew 25:31-33
This is the division of the nations. They are separated, some to His right hand and some to His left. This is the division of the sheep and the goats. Let’s look at the word nations. The word nations means; a race (as of the same habit), i.e. a tribe; specially, a foreign (non-Jewish) one (usually, by implication, pagan):--Gentile, heathen, nation, people. [3]
The Scorpions and the Serpents would fit within these definitions. They are a foreign non-Jewish, paganistic nation of Gentiles. Here is a verse that has both the Scorpions and the Serpents described as the Gentiles that comes against Jerusalem, the Multitude.
And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. - Luke 21:24
It is the Multitude that is trodden down by the Gentiles. The Gentiles are the Scorpions and the Serpents.
On which hand does Pleiades, the Multitude stand next to the Lord?
Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: - Matthew 25:34
They are standing on the right hand of the Lord. They are the sheep that inherits the kingdom. Which are now standing on the Lord’s left hand?
Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: - Matthew 25:41
The ones standing on His left hand are the goats, the Scorpions and the Serpents that will be thrown into the lake of fire where the devil, his angels, the beast, and the False Prophet are thrown. Here is another verse discussing the host of heaven.
And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf falleth off from the vine, and as a falling fig from the fig tree. - Isaiah 34:4
This verse states that all of the host of heaven shall be dissolved. We have learned that the host of heaven are the stars; and the stars are divided into the three groups: Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades. These three groups; Arcturus as the Serpents, Orion as the Scorpions, and Pleiades as the Multitude, stand on the Lord’s right hand as the sheep (Pleiades) and on the Lord’s left hand as the goats. (Arcturus and Orion) Each of these are dissolved. All of the host (Stars) shall fall down.
The Multitude falls at the hand of the Scorpions and the Serpents. The Scorpions and the Serpents fall at the 7th Trumpets when the dividing of the sheep and the goats take place. This is described as a leaf that falls from a vine. Who did we find out is the leaf? This would be the Scorpions that are represented in king Nebuchadnezzar’s dream as the leaves that are shaken off of the tree of Babylon. The fig that falls from the fig tree are the Serpents as shown in the 6th Trumpet.
The heavens that shall be rolled together as a scroll is referring to the book of life that the Multitude is written in and the Scorpions and the Serpents are blotted out of. This was covered previously in the chapter “The Sixth Seal.”
The word dissolved used in this verse means; to melt, dwindle, vanish:--consume away, corrupt, dissolve, pine away. [4]
Each of these definitions has relevance. Each group will dwindle away. They will vanish and be consumed away. The Multitude will pine away when the Scorpions strip them of their possessions. They will all melt. The Multitude will melt in that furnace of affliction heated up 7 times. The Scorpions and the Serpents will melt when they become corrupt, are thrust out of the kingdom of heaven and are thrown into the lake of fire.
Let’s look at another verse that uses the same word; dissolved.
The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it. Selah. - Psalms 75:3
This verse states that all the earth and its inhabitants will be dissolved. The previous verse stated that the host of heaven are going to be dissolved. Which is it? It is both; because both are actually the same. The host of heaven is the three-fold division of the apostate church. “The earth and all the inhabitants thereof” is not speaking about the physical world that you and I live in. It is speaking about the church. The earth and all of its inhabitants are referring to the three fold division of the church. This really narrows our focus down to the church and only the church. All others outside of the church are presently outside of the judgement of God that comes down during the Tribulation.
For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? - 1Peter 4:17
The “us” in this verse are referring to the 144,000 and the Multitude. The 144,000 are judge favorably prior to the Tribulation and are sealed. The Multitude are judged at the beginning of the Tribulation and the judgements are seen in the letters to the seven churches. The ones that obey not the gospel of God are the Scorpions and the Serpents. They knew the Truth at one time and fell away from the Truth. [5] We also know what their end is.
This verse is speaking about judgement coming down upon the church, not the whole world. How can someone that has never accepted Jesus Christ be judged as not obeying the gospel if they have never had the gospel to obey? The focus is again narrowed down to the church, not the whole world, or the whole earth.
Let’s go back to that word dissolved, that the host of heaven and the earth and all its inhabitants are under judgement to receive. Remember that one of the definitions was the word, melt. Let’s look at a couple of verses that has the word melt within it.
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. - 2 Peter 3:10
This verse is speaking about the Tribulation. It comes as a thief in the night. It will come upon those that are not watching and they don’t see it coming for they are not watching. We covered this verse previously in the 6th seal but an additional item comes into play here. Notice that this states that the elements shall be melted with fervent heat. The elements of what? The elements of heaven will be melted. The heavens is referring to the kingdom of heaven that contains the divided groups.
An element is a component of what is being spoken of. In this case the elements of the heavens would be what is in the heavens with the heavens being the kingdom of heaven. Who is in the kingdom of heaven? They are the three groups that are divided; the Serpents, the Scorpions, and the Multitude. These are what make up the kingdom of God and are therefore the elements of the heavens.
Let’s confirm this premise by looking at the definition for the word elements. Elements is defined as; something orderly in arrangement, (figuratively):--element, principle, rudiment. [6] The divided groups are certainly something orderly in arrangement. These were arranged by the Lord himself. He does the separating into the groups. They are an element, principle, or rudiment of the kingdom of heaven. Let’s look at its under-definition.
Its under-definition means; to march in (military) rank (keep step), i.e. (figuratively) to conform to virtue and piety:--walk (orderly). [7]
This seems familiar. To march in military rank, keep step. When we were looking at the definition for the word host, didn’t we find the same type of definition? Host had within its definition; a mass of persons, especially regular organized for war (an army), company, soldiers. An army, company, or soldiers would definitely march in military rank. They would walk orderly within their positions that they had been assigned.
The Serpents and the Scorpions conform to unrighteous virtue and piety. The Multitude conforms to righteous virtue and piety. Piety is defined as; devotion to religious duties and practices, or loyalty and devotion to parents, family, etc. [8]
The Multitude is loyal to their Father in Heaven whereas the Scorpions and the Serpents are loyal to their father and king; the devil.
This verse also states that the earth and its works will be burned up. The earth as we had previously learned is the kingdom of heaven and the works that are therein are burned up. These would be the acts and the deeds of the three groups. Their works are found unworthy and will be destroyed. The works of the Multitude will follow them once they conform. Their works would amount to their obedience to the Lord in what the Lord has asked them to do. Their previous works amounted to nothing and will be melted.
This has come a long way from where we were in looking at Arcturus being the bear of Daniel 7. These threads that we followed confirm the identification of Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades. They are the three fold division of the church. They are the stars of heaven that are divided into the three constellations and each constellation is identified with the three-fold division of the church.
The host of heaven is the stars or the constellations. The host of heaven is dissolved and has been shown that the heavens and the earth are the kingdom of heaven and all of the elements; the components that make up the kingdom of heaven will be destroyed. This has also been shown what each one of these things represent and how the focus of the Tribulation is upon the church and not the entire world. For now, they are outside of the judgement of God for God judges the church FIRST.
Since a positive identification of Arcturus being the great bear within its definition, we can now follow this thread and determine if the scriptures that now will be speaking about the bear will confirm this identification as the bear being the Serpents.
Let’s look up a few verses with the word bear within them.
As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear; so is a wicked ruler over the poor people. - Proverbs 28:15
The Serpents are a roaring lion and a ranging bear. Both of these seek to devour. The lion of Daniel 7 contains all three of the groups prior to the eagles’ wings being plucked off. The horses and the riders are the Serpents of the 6th Trumpet which the horses have the heads of lions.
Thus saith the LORD; As the shepherd taketh out of the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear; so shall the children of Israel be taken out that dwell in Samaria in the corner of a bed, and in Damascus in a couch. - Amos 3:12
The children of Samaria and Damascus are the man child, the Multitude. They will be devoured by the lion. (Serpents and Scorpions) The shepherd (Jesus Christ) will take the pieces of the Multitude out of the mouth of the lion and will make them whole again at the 7th Trumpet.
The roaring lion and the ranging bear in Proverbs 28:15 is synonymous with a wicked ruler that rules over a poor people. Who is the wicked ruler? The wicked ruler is the False Prophet who is the ruler over the Serpents. More will be discussed on this later in this writing. Who are the poor people? The poor people are the Multitude that have had all of their possessions removed from them.
Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: - Revelation 3:17
This verse is from the letter to the church of Laodicea. This was used in describing the fall of Nebuchadnezzar in the chapter about the Lion of Daniel. These people are described as poor, blind, and naked.
He was unto me as a bear lying in wait, and as a lion in secret places. - Lamentations 3:10
This verse states that the Lord will be unto the Multitude as a bear lying in wait. What is this bear waiting for? He is waiting for his next meal; the Multitude will be brought to the Serpents one by one and served to him. The Multitude will be consumed by the bear. The Lord is also as a lion in secret places. What is this? Remember the “secret” that is revealed unto His servants the prophets? The secret is the revelation of the Tribulation and all that is contained therein. The lion is one of those elements of the “secret.” The secret places are referring to the church, for this is where the bear and the lion are located.
This verse has both a lion and a bear within them. The first two beasts of Daniel 7 are a lion and a bear. Jeremiah 5:26 tells us that the house of Israel lays wait and traps men; just as the bear lying in wait for his next meal.
Therefore I will be unto them as a lion: as a leopard by the way will I observe them: I will meet them as a bear that is bereaved of her whelps, and will rend the caul of their heart, and there will I devour them like a lion: the wild beast shall tear them. - Hosea 13:7, 8
In this verse there are listed the three beasts of Daniel; the lion, the leopard and the bear. The lion is associated with both the Serpents and the Scorpions. The leopard is a metaphor for the Scorpions and the bear is a metaphor for the Serpents. Notice that the leopard will observe them. These are the spies that are the sentries or the scouts in the role of Judas.
The Lord will meet the Multitude as a bear that is bereaved of her whelps. A bear that is bereaved of her whelps is a very angry bear. You don’t take away the cubs from a bear for she will become an extremely ferocious animal and will tear that person to pieces. This is exactly what the Multitude does; they steal away the babies of the bear.
The Multitude will be torn apart by the wild beasts; the bear, and then will be devoured by the lion. The leopard will do the spying out for the bear and deliver the bear those that are messing with the bears’ whelps.
“And will rend the caul of their heart” tells us that there is something that happens when the Serpents meet the Multitude. This deserves to be looked at.
The word rend is defined as; to rend, literally or figuratively (revile, paint the eyes, as if enlarging them):--cut out, rend, tear. [9] The word caul means; shut up, i.e. the breast (as inclosing the heart); also gold (as generally shut up safely):--caul, gold. [10] The under-definition means; to shut up; figuratively, to surrender:--close up, deliver (up), give over (up), inclose, shut (in, self, out, up, up together), stop. [11]
Take a close look at these definitions. The word rend means; to rend or tear apart, cut out, revile, and paint the eyes as if enlarging them. The bear certainly tears them apart, but this is speaking about tearing apart something located in the Multitude’s heart.
When the bear meets the Multitude it will be when the Multitude is standing up against the lies that the Serpents are pushing forth. For this, the Multitude will be captured and thrown into prison to be persecuted. When they are being persecuted, this is when the bear meets them as a bear that is bereaved of her whelps and as a lion that will chew them up because they have the power to do so.
This is when the eyes of the Multitude will be opened and they will understand why they are where they are. Their eyes will be painted to enlarge them so they will now be able to see exactly why they are in the position that they are in.
The word caul is describing what is in their heart that will be torn apart. It is the safety that they felt in their lies that were shut up in their hearts. This was gold to them and they counted it as precious. They will realize that the dens that they were hiding in with the lies will be shattered. The bear will rend these lies and they will see the Truth.
The bear will pull them out of the dens and the rocks and the Multitude will realize that while they thought that they were rich and increased with goods and didn’t need anything, that they are really wretched, and poor, and blind, and naked, and their shame will be felt under the scrutiny of the Lord. They will see themselves as they really are.
In effect, the process that the Multitude goes through coming through the fire, their lies that they believed in will be exposed to them and they will truly see them as the Lord sees them. This is when their true conversion will take place, when the caul of their heart has been torn apart by the bear when they are imprisoned and their death is imminent. They will then call on the Lord and the Lord will hear them.
As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him. – Amos 5:19
A man flees from a lion, meets a bear, or puts his hand on the wall and a Serpents bites him. This verse has the Scorpions and the Serpents going after this man which is representative of the Multitude. They have nowhere to turn for they are surrounded. They will be caught and torn apart by these beasts.
And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh. - Daniel 7:5
This bear raises itself up on one side. The definition for the word raise has some interesting hooks. It means; appoint, establish, make, raise up self, (a-)rise (up), (make to) stand, set (up). [12] There are many interesting definitions within this word. The Serpents rise up as the mounting up of the smoke that comes out of the pit at the 5th trumpet. They are also instrumental in the setting up of the Abomination of Desolation. The will make the Multitude to stand up through the process that the Serpents and the Scorpions put them through.
The one side that he raises himself up on gives us additional clues to the identification. The definition for the word one is; as card, one, together. [13] One of its under-definitions means; properly, united. [14] The bear (Serpents) are together and united with the Scorpions.
The first definition for the word one has a most unusual definition of “as card.” What is that? When we look up the word card in the dictionary, we find the following; it can be a card from a pack of playing cards or a greeting card, etc. or in association with sheering a lamb the following definition; specifically in association with LL. cardus, a card, thistle. [15]
The thistle is a metaphor for the Serpents just as the brambles are associated with the Scorpions. [16] A metaphor for the Serpents (Thistle) shows up in a definition for the word one pertaining to the one side that this bear rolls up on. This is most interesting. This card also has to do with sheering a lamb. Who are the lambs? The lambs are the Multitude and they will be sheared. Their coat will be removed.
The word side gives us more clues. These clues are found in verses that identify the Serpents and the Scorpions.
In the day that thou stoodest on the other side, in the day that the strangers carried away captive his forces, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem, even thou wast as one of them. - Obadiah 1:11
This verse is the Lord speaking to the Scorpions telling them that they were standing on the other side. Standing on the other side of what? They are standing on the other side of the border of true Israel. They are standing on the other side in the border of wickedness (Which borders true Israel) spoken about in Malachi 1:4.
Then said he unto me, This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole earth: for every one that stealeth shall be cut off as on this side according to it; and every one that sweareth shall be cut off as on that side according to it. - Zechariah 5:3
This verse speaks about this side and that side. It is also speaking about those that steal (Scorpions) and those that swear, (Serpents) The Scorpions are on one side and the Serpents are on the other side. The Serpents are on the North and the East side of the border of wickedness. The Scorpions are on the South and the West side of the border of wickedness. Their unity is still however is within the same border or territory, the border of wickedness.
Also, thou son of man, appoint thee two ways, that the sword of the king of Babylon may come: both twain shall come forth out of one land: andchoose thou a place, choose it at the head of the way to the city. - Ezekiel 21:19
This verse is speaking about both the Serpents and the Scorpions. They both come out of one land (The border of wickedness) and there are two ways appointed to them. One way is for the Scorpions and the other way is for the Serpents.
I have set the point of the sword against all their gates, that their heart may faint, and their ruins be multiplied: ah! it is made bright, it is wrapped up for the slaughter. [16] Go thee one way or other, either on the right hand, or on the left, whithersoever thy face is set. - Ezekiel 21:15, 16
This verse clearly tells us that the Serpents and the Scorpions have one of two choices. They can choose either the right hand or the left hand. The definition for right hand is; The definition means; to be right-handed or take the right-hand side: go (turn) to (on, use) the right hand. [17] The under-definition means; the right hand or side of a person (as the stronger and more dexterous); locally, the south,right (hand, side), south. [18]
The Scorpions are associated with the south. The Scorpions therefore choose the right hand side (way).
The definition for the word left means; to use the left hand or pass in that direction: (go, turn) (on the, to the) left. [19] properly, dark (as enveloped), i.e. the north; hence (by orientation), the left hand:--left (hand, side). [20]
The Serpents are associated with the north. They are therefore the ones that choose to go to the left. It is the left side that the Serpents are on.
The bear of Daniel 7 raises itself up on one side. This would be the left side that it raises itself up on.
And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh. - Daniel 7:5
The three ribs in the bear’s mouth are representative of the three horns that are plucked up by the little horn in Daniel 7:8. This will be discussed a bit later. There is an interesting item to note about the ribs. The ribs are the inner part of a man or a beast. The number of ribs in a man is an intriguing number.
“They are twelve in number on each side; but this number may be increased by the development of a cervical or lumbar rib, or may be diminished to eleven.” [21] The numbers 12 and 11 have significance pertaining to the 10 horns and the little horn which will also be discussed later.
The bear is told to “arise and devour much flesh.” This is exactly what the bear does. It arises at the 5th trumpet in unity with the Scorpions and the bear does devour much flesh, the flesh of the Multitude for the Multitude is taking the bear’s babies away from her and she cannot allow that to happen.
This second beast of Daniel lines up with the second horseman of the Apocalypse, the second seal. The second horse that is red signifies the blood that they spill. The bear is given a great sword to take peace from the earth and kill one another. They would be killing their former brothers and sisters that they ate potluck with and shared stories with. They will have innocent blood on their hands by the sword that they wield because the Multitude is threatening her babies.
Let’s now take a look at the Leopard, for if this follows the pattern it will line up with the Scorpions who are also the third horseman of the Apocalypse.

And hath gone and served other gods, and worshipped them, either the sun, or moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded; - Deuteronomy 17:3
The verse is speaking about the heathen that worship the sun, moon, and host of heaven. Looking at this through the Spiritual Overlay we will find that the sun is representative of the Scorpions, the moon is representative of the Multitude, and the host of heaven must be referring to the stars. This verse is speaking about the terrestrial sun, moon, and stars. But when this is applied in the spiritual, we find all three groups are in the sun, moon, and stars for the 1/3 of the stars are the Serpents; and we also find all three groups in the stars as Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades.
Let’s look at the definition for the word host to determine if this host of heaven could possible be speaking about these three groups of people, the Serpents, the Scorpions, and the Multitude.
The word host is defined as; a mass of persons (or figuratively, things), especially reg. organized for war (an army); by implication, a campaign, literally or figuratively (specifically, hardship, worship):--appointed time, (+) army, (+) battle, company, host, service, soldiers, war(-fare). [1]
The under-definition for host is; to mass (an army or servants):--assemble, fight, perform, muster, wait upon, war. [2]
These definitions fit perfectly with what we know about these three groups that are divided within the church. Every single group is a mass of persons assembled for war. The Serpents are a company of soldiers as are the Scorpions. They come against the Multitude in the Battle of Armageddon. They assemble themselves for battle. The Multitude is also a company of soldiers; soldiers for Christ that will be taken in battle, stripped bare, placed into captivity, convicted, and executed. This is becoming clearer all the time.
And he said, Hear thou therefore the word of the LORD: I saw the LORD sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left. - 1Kings 22:19
Here is an additional detail. The host of heaven; being the three groups of stars are standing by the Lord. Some of the stars are on standing on His right hand and some are standing on His left hand. Can you guess which ones are standing on His left hand and on His right hand?
When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: [32] And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: [33] And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
- Matthew 25:31-33
This is the division of the nations. They are separated, some to His right hand and some to His left. This is the division of the sheep and the goats. Let’s look at the word nations. The word nations means; a race (as of the same habit), i.e. a tribe; specially, a foreign (non-Jewish) one (usually, by implication, pagan):--Gentile, heathen, nation, people. [3]
The Scorpions and the Serpents would fit within these definitions. They are a foreign non-Jewish, paganistic nation of Gentiles. Here is a verse that has both the Scorpions and the Serpents described as the Gentiles that comes against Jerusalem, the Multitude.
And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. - Luke 21:24
It is the Multitude that is trodden down by the Gentiles. The Gentiles are the Scorpions and the Serpents.
On which hand does Pleiades, the Multitude stand next to the Lord?
Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: - Matthew 25:34
They are standing on the right hand of the Lord. They are the sheep that inherits the kingdom. Which are now standing on the Lord’s left hand?
Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: - Matthew 25:41
The ones standing on His left hand are the goats, the Scorpions and the Serpents that will be thrown into the lake of fire where the devil, his angels, the beast, and the False Prophet are thrown. Here is another verse discussing the host of heaven.
And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf falleth off from the vine, and as a falling fig from the fig tree. - Isaiah 34:4
This verse states that all of the host of heaven shall be dissolved. We have learned that the host of heaven are the stars; and the stars are divided into the three groups: Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades. These three groups; Arcturus as the Serpents, Orion as the Scorpions, and Pleiades as the Multitude, stand on the Lord’s right hand as the sheep (Pleiades) and on the Lord’s left hand as the goats. (Arcturus and Orion) Each of these are dissolved. All of the host (Stars) shall fall down.
The Multitude falls at the hand of the Scorpions and the Serpents. The Scorpions and the Serpents fall at the 7th Trumpets when the dividing of the sheep and the goats take place. This is described as a leaf that falls from a vine. Who did we find out is the leaf? This would be the Scorpions that are represented in king Nebuchadnezzar’s dream as the leaves that are shaken off of the tree of Babylon. The fig that falls from the fig tree are the Serpents as shown in the 6th Trumpet.
The heavens that shall be rolled together as a scroll is referring to the book of life that the Multitude is written in and the Scorpions and the Serpents are blotted out of. This was covered previously in the chapter “The Sixth Seal.”
The word dissolved used in this verse means; to melt, dwindle, vanish:--consume away, corrupt, dissolve, pine away. [4]
Each of these definitions has relevance. Each group will dwindle away. They will vanish and be consumed away. The Multitude will pine away when the Scorpions strip them of their possessions. They will all melt. The Multitude will melt in that furnace of affliction heated up 7 times. The Scorpions and the Serpents will melt when they become corrupt, are thrust out of the kingdom of heaven and are thrown into the lake of fire.
Let’s look at another verse that uses the same word; dissolved.
The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it. Selah. - Psalms 75:3
This verse states that all the earth and its inhabitants will be dissolved. The previous verse stated that the host of heaven are going to be dissolved. Which is it? It is both; because both are actually the same. The host of heaven is the three-fold division of the apostate church. “The earth and all the inhabitants thereof” is not speaking about the physical world that you and I live in. It is speaking about the church. The earth and all of its inhabitants are referring to the three fold division of the church. This really narrows our focus down to the church and only the church. All others outside of the church are presently outside of the judgement of God that comes down during the Tribulation.
For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? - 1Peter 4:17
The “us” in this verse are referring to the 144,000 and the Multitude. The 144,000 are judge favorably prior to the Tribulation and are sealed. The Multitude are judged at the beginning of the Tribulation and the judgements are seen in the letters to the seven churches. The ones that obey not the gospel of God are the Scorpions and the Serpents. They knew the Truth at one time and fell away from the Truth. [5] We also know what their end is.
This verse is speaking about judgement coming down upon the church, not the whole world. How can someone that has never accepted Jesus Christ be judged as not obeying the gospel if they have never had the gospel to obey? The focus is again narrowed down to the church, not the whole world, or the whole earth.
Let’s go back to that word dissolved, that the host of heaven and the earth and all its inhabitants are under judgement to receive. Remember that one of the definitions was the word, melt. Let’s look at a couple of verses that has the word melt within it.
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. - 2 Peter 3:10
This verse is speaking about the Tribulation. It comes as a thief in the night. It will come upon those that are not watching and they don’t see it coming for they are not watching. We covered this verse previously in the 6th seal but an additional item comes into play here. Notice that this states that the elements shall be melted with fervent heat. The elements of what? The elements of heaven will be melted. The heavens is referring to the kingdom of heaven that contains the divided groups.
An element is a component of what is being spoken of. In this case the elements of the heavens would be what is in the heavens with the heavens being the kingdom of heaven. Who is in the kingdom of heaven? They are the three groups that are divided; the Serpents, the Scorpions, and the Multitude. These are what make up the kingdom of God and are therefore the elements of the heavens.
Let’s confirm this premise by looking at the definition for the word elements. Elements is defined as; something orderly in arrangement, (figuratively):--element, principle, rudiment. [6] The divided groups are certainly something orderly in arrangement. These were arranged by the Lord himself. He does the separating into the groups. They are an element, principle, or rudiment of the kingdom of heaven. Let’s look at its under-definition.
Its under-definition means; to march in (military) rank (keep step), i.e. (figuratively) to conform to virtue and piety:--walk (orderly). [7]
This seems familiar. To march in military rank, keep step. When we were looking at the definition for the word host, didn’t we find the same type of definition? Host had within its definition; a mass of persons, especially regular organized for war (an army), company, soldiers. An army, company, or soldiers would definitely march in military rank. They would walk orderly within their positions that they had been assigned.
The Serpents and the Scorpions conform to unrighteous virtue and piety. The Multitude conforms to righteous virtue and piety. Piety is defined as; devotion to religious duties and practices, or loyalty and devotion to parents, family, etc. [8]
The Multitude is loyal to their Father in Heaven whereas the Scorpions and the Serpents are loyal to their father and king; the devil.
This verse also states that the earth and its works will be burned up. The earth as we had previously learned is the kingdom of heaven and the works that are therein are burned up. These would be the acts and the deeds of the three groups. Their works are found unworthy and will be destroyed. The works of the Multitude will follow them once they conform. Their works would amount to their obedience to the Lord in what the Lord has asked them to do. Their previous works amounted to nothing and will be melted.
This has come a long way from where we were in looking at Arcturus being the bear of Daniel 7. These threads that we followed confirm the identification of Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades. They are the three fold division of the church. They are the stars of heaven that are divided into the three constellations and each constellation is identified with the three-fold division of the church.
The host of heaven is the stars or the constellations. The host of heaven is dissolved and has been shown that the heavens and the earth are the kingdom of heaven and all of the elements; the components that make up the kingdom of heaven will be destroyed. This has also been shown what each one of these things represent and how the focus of the Tribulation is upon the church and not the entire world. For now, they are outside of the judgement of God for God judges the church FIRST.
Since a positive identification of Arcturus being the great bear within its definition, we can now follow this thread and determine if the scriptures that now will be speaking about the bear will confirm this identification as the bear being the Serpents.
Let’s look up a few verses with the word bear within them.
As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear; so is a wicked ruler over the poor people. - Proverbs 28:15
The Serpents are a roaring lion and a ranging bear. Both of these seek to devour. The lion of Daniel 7 contains all three of the groups prior to the eagles’ wings being plucked off. The horses and the riders are the Serpents of the 6th Trumpet which the horses have the heads of lions.
Thus saith the LORD; As the shepherd taketh out of the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear; so shall the children of Israel be taken out that dwell in Samaria in the corner of a bed, and in Damascus in a couch. - Amos 3:12
The children of Samaria and Damascus are the man child, the Multitude. They will be devoured by the lion. (Serpents and Scorpions) The shepherd (Jesus Christ) will take the pieces of the Multitude out of the mouth of the lion and will make them whole again at the 7th Trumpet.
The roaring lion and the ranging bear in Proverbs 28:15 is synonymous with a wicked ruler that rules over a poor people. Who is the wicked ruler? The wicked ruler is the False Prophet who is the ruler over the Serpents. More will be discussed on this later in this writing. Who are the poor people? The poor people are the Multitude that have had all of their possessions removed from them.
Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: - Revelation 3:17
This verse is from the letter to the church of Laodicea. This was used in describing the fall of Nebuchadnezzar in the chapter about the Lion of Daniel. These people are described as poor, blind, and naked.
He was unto me as a bear lying in wait, and as a lion in secret places. - Lamentations 3:10
This verse states that the Lord will be unto the Multitude as a bear lying in wait. What is this bear waiting for? He is waiting for his next meal; the Multitude will be brought to the Serpents one by one and served to him. The Multitude will be consumed by the bear. The Lord is also as a lion in secret places. What is this? Remember the “secret” that is revealed unto His servants the prophets? The secret is the revelation of the Tribulation and all that is contained therein. The lion is one of those elements of the “secret.” The secret places are referring to the church, for this is where the bear and the lion are located.
This verse has both a lion and a bear within them. The first two beasts of Daniel 7 are a lion and a bear. Jeremiah 5:26 tells us that the house of Israel lays wait and traps men; just as the bear lying in wait for his next meal.
Therefore I will be unto them as a lion: as a leopard by the way will I observe them: I will meet them as a bear that is bereaved of her whelps, and will rend the caul of their heart, and there will I devour them like a lion: the wild beast shall tear them. - Hosea 13:7, 8
In this verse there are listed the three beasts of Daniel; the lion, the leopard and the bear. The lion is associated with both the Serpents and the Scorpions. The leopard is a metaphor for the Scorpions and the bear is a metaphor for the Serpents. Notice that the leopard will observe them. These are the spies that are the sentries or the scouts in the role of Judas.
The Lord will meet the Multitude as a bear that is bereaved of her whelps. A bear that is bereaved of her whelps is a very angry bear. You don’t take away the cubs from a bear for she will become an extremely ferocious animal and will tear that person to pieces. This is exactly what the Multitude does; they steal away the babies of the bear.
The Multitude will be torn apart by the wild beasts; the bear, and then will be devoured by the lion. The leopard will do the spying out for the bear and deliver the bear those that are messing with the bears’ whelps.
“And will rend the caul of their heart” tells us that there is something that happens when the Serpents meet the Multitude. This deserves to be looked at.
The word rend is defined as; to rend, literally or figuratively (revile, paint the eyes, as if enlarging them):--cut out, rend, tear. [9] The word caul means; shut up, i.e. the breast (as inclosing the heart); also gold (as generally shut up safely):--caul, gold. [10] The under-definition means; to shut up; figuratively, to surrender:--close up, deliver (up), give over (up), inclose, shut (in, self, out, up, up together), stop. [11]
Take a close look at these definitions. The word rend means; to rend or tear apart, cut out, revile, and paint the eyes as if enlarging them. The bear certainly tears them apart, but this is speaking about tearing apart something located in the Multitude’s heart.
When the bear meets the Multitude it will be when the Multitude is standing up against the lies that the Serpents are pushing forth. For this, the Multitude will be captured and thrown into prison to be persecuted. When they are being persecuted, this is when the bear meets them as a bear that is bereaved of her whelps and as a lion that will chew them up because they have the power to do so.
This is when the eyes of the Multitude will be opened and they will understand why they are where they are. Their eyes will be painted to enlarge them so they will now be able to see exactly why they are in the position that they are in.
The word caul is describing what is in their heart that will be torn apart. It is the safety that they felt in their lies that were shut up in their hearts. This was gold to them and they counted it as precious. They will realize that the dens that they were hiding in with the lies will be shattered. The bear will rend these lies and they will see the Truth.
The bear will pull them out of the dens and the rocks and the Multitude will realize that while they thought that they were rich and increased with goods and didn’t need anything, that they are really wretched, and poor, and blind, and naked, and their shame will be felt under the scrutiny of the Lord. They will see themselves as they really are.
In effect, the process that the Multitude goes through coming through the fire, their lies that they believed in will be exposed to them and they will truly see them as the Lord sees them. This is when their true conversion will take place, when the caul of their heart has been torn apart by the bear when they are imprisoned and their death is imminent. They will then call on the Lord and the Lord will hear them.
As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him. – Amos 5:19
A man flees from a lion, meets a bear, or puts his hand on the wall and a Serpents bites him. This verse has the Scorpions and the Serpents going after this man which is representative of the Multitude. They have nowhere to turn for they are surrounded. They will be caught and torn apart by these beasts.
And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh. - Daniel 7:5
This bear raises itself up on one side. The definition for the word raise has some interesting hooks. It means; appoint, establish, make, raise up self, (a-)rise (up), (make to) stand, set (up). [12] There are many interesting definitions within this word. The Serpents rise up as the mounting up of the smoke that comes out of the pit at the 5th trumpet. They are also instrumental in the setting up of the Abomination of Desolation. The will make the Multitude to stand up through the process that the Serpents and the Scorpions put them through.
The one side that he raises himself up on gives us additional clues to the identification. The definition for the word one is; as card, one, together. [13] One of its under-definitions means; properly, united. [14] The bear (Serpents) are together and united with the Scorpions.
The first definition for the word one has a most unusual definition of “as card.” What is that? When we look up the word card in the dictionary, we find the following; it can be a card from a pack of playing cards or a greeting card, etc. or in association with sheering a lamb the following definition; specifically in association with LL. cardus, a card, thistle. [15]
The thistle is a metaphor for the Serpents just as the brambles are associated with the Scorpions. [16] A metaphor for the Serpents (Thistle) shows up in a definition for the word one pertaining to the one side that this bear rolls up on. This is most interesting. This card also has to do with sheering a lamb. Who are the lambs? The lambs are the Multitude and they will be sheared. Their coat will be removed.
The word side gives us more clues. These clues are found in verses that identify the Serpents and the Scorpions.
In the day that thou stoodest on the other side, in the day that the strangers carried away captive his forces, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem, even thou wast as one of them. - Obadiah 1:11
This verse is the Lord speaking to the Scorpions telling them that they were standing on the other side. Standing on the other side of what? They are standing on the other side of the border of true Israel. They are standing on the other side in the border of wickedness (Which borders true Israel) spoken about in Malachi 1:4.
Then said he unto me, This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole earth: for every one that stealeth shall be cut off as on this side according to it; and every one that sweareth shall be cut off as on that side according to it. - Zechariah 5:3
This verse speaks about this side and that side. It is also speaking about those that steal (Scorpions) and those that swear, (Serpents) The Scorpions are on one side and the Serpents are on the other side. The Serpents are on the North and the East side of the border of wickedness. The Scorpions are on the South and the West side of the border of wickedness. Their unity is still however is within the same border or territory, the border of wickedness.
Also, thou son of man, appoint thee two ways, that the sword of the king of Babylon may come: both twain shall come forth out of one land: andchoose thou a place, choose it at the head of the way to the city. - Ezekiel 21:19
This verse is speaking about both the Serpents and the Scorpions. They both come out of one land (The border of wickedness) and there are two ways appointed to them. One way is for the Scorpions and the other way is for the Serpents.
I have set the point of the sword against all their gates, that their heart may faint, and their ruins be multiplied: ah! it is made bright, it is wrapped up for the slaughter. [16] Go thee one way or other, either on the right hand, or on the left, whithersoever thy face is set. - Ezekiel 21:15, 16
This verse clearly tells us that the Serpents and the Scorpions have one of two choices. They can choose either the right hand or the left hand. The definition for right hand is; The definition means; to be right-handed or take the right-hand side: go (turn) to (on, use) the right hand. [17] The under-definition means; the right hand or side of a person (as the stronger and more dexterous); locally, the south,right (hand, side), south. [18]
The Scorpions are associated with the south. The Scorpions therefore choose the right hand side (way).
The definition for the word left means; to use the left hand or pass in that direction: (go, turn) (on the, to the) left. [19] properly, dark (as enveloped), i.e. the north; hence (by orientation), the left hand:--left (hand, side). [20]
The Serpents are associated with the north. They are therefore the ones that choose to go to the left. It is the left side that the Serpents are on.
The bear of Daniel 7 raises itself up on one side. This would be the left side that it raises itself up on.
And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh. - Daniel 7:5
The three ribs in the bear’s mouth are representative of the three horns that are plucked up by the little horn in Daniel 7:8. This will be discussed a bit later. There is an interesting item to note about the ribs. The ribs are the inner part of a man or a beast. The number of ribs in a man is an intriguing number.
“They are twelve in number on each side; but this number may be increased by the development of a cervical or lumbar rib, or may be diminished to eleven.” [21] The numbers 12 and 11 have significance pertaining to the 10 horns and the little horn which will also be discussed later.
The bear is told to “arise and devour much flesh.” This is exactly what the bear does. It arises at the 5th trumpet in unity with the Scorpions and the bear does devour much flesh, the flesh of the Multitude for the Multitude is taking the bear’s babies away from her and she cannot allow that to happen.
This second beast of Daniel lines up with the second horseman of the Apocalypse, the second seal. The second horse that is red signifies the blood that they spill. The bear is given a great sword to take peace from the earth and kill one another. They would be killing their former brothers and sisters that they ate potluck with and shared stories with. They will have innocent blood on their hands by the sword that they wield because the Multitude is threatening her babies.
Let’s now take a look at the Leopard, for if this follows the pattern it will line up with the Scorpions who are also the third horseman of the Apocalypse.
