His Secret
Chapter 2 A New Thing
In chapter 1 it was shown that the Lord has a secret and He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets. It was shown that what we had always seen as being played out in the physical is actually played out in the spiritual realm. When this is played out in the spiritual realm, it manifests in the physical in a way that those without eyes to see or ears to hear will not recognize it.
What you are about to read is a confirmation of this new understanding of old things. This new understanding is the usage of the metaphoric language to identify people, places, things, events, and being able to foretell coming events of the Tribulation. It not only gives us knowledge of things that are happening and will happen, but it gives us knowledge of what we, as the Remnant of Israel, the 144,000 are to do during this coming persecution of God’s chosen people.
This will substantiate that the language of metaphors is not only Biblical, but it has been foretold that this would happen. We are only beginning a journey that the Lord has destined for each one of us and that journey begins with the understanding of what the Lord would have us to know.
The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel; [2] To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding; [3] To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity; [4] To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion. [5] A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels: [6] To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings. [7] The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction. - Proverbs 1:1-7
My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee. [2] Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye. [3] Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thine heart. [4] Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call understanding thy kinswoman: [5] That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger which flattereth with her words. - Proverbs 7:1-5
My son, eat thou honey, because it is good; and the honeycomb, which is sweet to thy taste: [14] So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul: when thou hast found it, then there shall be a reward, and thy expectation shall not be cut off. - Proverbs 24:13,14
And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding: - Daniel 2:21
The wisdom and knowledge of the Lord are to be held close to each one of us. The wise are the 144,000, the five wise virgins. The foolish are the Multitude, the five unwise virgins. The wise who have the understanding will instruct the foolish, the Multitude.
This knowledge and understanding comes from the Lord. He is the one that gives us the wisdom and the understanding of these things. It is not of us, if it was, this would have been figured out long ago. These secrets that the Lord is now revealing to us have been locked up for thousands of years. We are living in the time that the Lord has ordained to raise up a people to be His light, a beacon shining from Mt. Zion to the lost sheep of Israel that they may find the Truth, and the Truth will set them free.
They will still be imprisoned and they will still be killed, but they will go to their death knowing this Truth; they shall rise during the sounding of the 7th trumpet. They will be the Redeemed of Israel, the Glory of the Lord.
We have a mission in front of us as the 144,000. It would be best to begin this mission knowing that the secret that He has revealed to us is for us. It is to be understood by us that we may become more skilled in the language of metaphors. This is His language that He uses to speak to us within the words of the Bible. He is the beginning and the end. The end is here and this is the Revelation of Jesus Christ; the Revelation of His Word.
Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old. - Matthew 13:52
What is a scribe? A scribe is a person who records things in a written record. The definition for scribe is; a writer, i.e. (professionally) scribe or secretary:--scribe.[1]
The under-definition for scribe is; a writing, i.e. a letter, note, epistle, book, etc.; plural learning:--bill, learning, letter, scripture, writing, written. [2]
The next under-definition means; to "grave", especially to write; figuratively, to describe:--describe, write(-ing, -ten). [3]
A scribe is someone who writes. Notice in the first under-definition the phrase plural learning.
The word plural as defined in the dictionary means; of or including more than one. Included in the definition when plural is used in grammar a) designating of more than one (of what is referred to). b) in languages having dual number, designating or of more than one (of what is referred to). When used as a noun in grammar, 1. the plural number. 2. a plural form of a word. [4]
Wow, do you see this. Plural in grammar and language means that there are two identifications to words or numbers. We have been doing this for over five years now and are just now finding out that this is exactly the way that the Lord has designated this to happen. This is how the Lord retains His glory.
If this was me or you doing this we would have figured this out long ago. But we are not doing this. This is the Lord. He has shown us the system of the metaphoric language and how to use it. We didn’t really know what we were doing. We just saw the patterns and the Lord began to reveal this to us; slowly, methodically and continuously. If any of you have been with us in our first shows on the Threshing Floor you would recognize that we were babes trying to learn this system. Through countless hours we along with you have honed our skills in the use of the plural words and numbers; the metaphoric language.
The plural learning is the metaphoric language that we have learned and are continuing to learn. What magnificent things the Lord has in store for His people.
The scribe that is instructed (By the Lord) in the kingdom of heaven, writes in written form the plural learning. That is what you are reading right now. This journey has only begun.
Notice the next part of the verse, for this clarifies the plural learning definition of scribe and confirms that this was written for us at the end of the age.
Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old. - Matthew 13:52
The scribe is like a householder that brings out of his treasure (The Bible) things old and new. This would be referring to the things that happened to them to be ensamples upon us whom the end of the age has come. The old is referring to the examples that we can receive a plural understanding of. We apply the new, (Revelation from the Lord) metaphors upon these words and concepts and this gives us the understanding of the metaphoric language and how to apply the learning that we receive to the world around us and to the future.
Here is a passage that tells us that there are old things that the Lord has shown in times past, and also new things, hidden things.
I have declared the former things from the beginning; and they went forth out of my mouth, and I shewed them; I did them suddenly, and they came to pass. [4] Because I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass; [5] I have even from the beginning declared it to thee; before it came to pass I shewed it thee: lest thou shouldest say, Mine idol hath done them, and my graven image, and my molten image, hath commanded them. [6]Thou hast heard, see all this; and will not ye declare it? I have shewed thee new things from this time, even hidden things, and thou didst not know them. [7] They are created now, and not from the beginning; even before the day when thou heardest them not; lest thou shouldest say, Behold, I knew them. - Isaiah 48:3-7
The Lord is actually speaking to the Serpents and the Scorpions. Notice the identification in verse 4. “Thy neck is an iron sinew, (Scorpions) and thy brow brass;” (Serpents). He is telling them that He, the Lord has shown them things in the past, of works that He was going to do in the future so they could not say that other gods had done what the Lord had declared beforehand.
The Lord then continues in verse 6, that He has shown them new things from this time, even hidden things and they didn’t know them; because their eyes are completely blinded. The Lord states that they are created now, before the day that they didn’t hear them, so they couldn’t say that they knew them.
This is pretty hard to decipher but to put it simply; the Lord is stating that (Para-phrased) ‘I have before declared what I was going to do and it came to pass. Since I declared it before hand, this proves that it was I that had done this and not any of the gods that you follow.’
He goes on to state (Paraphrased) ‘I have created a new thing that I have declared. I have done this beforehand knowing that you will not hear them because you are unrighteous and unworthy. But my servants will hear them and know these new things, even hidden things that I have declared beforehand.’
The Lord is stating that He declares what He is going to do before He does them. This new thing, even the hidden things, is for us to know and not them. It is something that we will be able to see and recognize for we have eyes to see and ears to hear. If you will notice that the three elements see, know, and hear are what they don’t possess for they don’t have are eyes to see, nor ears to hear, nor a mind to know these things for it is hidden from all but His servants.
What is this new thing that the Lord is speaking about?
Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. [19] Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. - Isaiah 43:18, 19
The Lords states in this verse that “I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth;” and then He says “shall ye not know it?” His questioning is stated in a way that is saying that we will know when He does this new thing.
I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images. [9] Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them. – Isaiah 42:8, 9
Here it is. The former (old) things are come to pass and new things He declares. Before they spring forth He will tell us. Just as He states in this next verse.
Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets. - Amos 3:7
Let’s look at those verses again continuing in verse 10.
I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images. [9] Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them. [10] Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein; the isles, and the inhabitants thereof. – Isaiah 42:8-10
Before they spring forth He will reveal His secret to us and then it tells us to sing a new song to the Lord. When does he tell us these new things and when are we to sing a new song. Who sings the new song and what is the new song?
And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth. Revelation 14:3
It is the 144,000 that the Lord shows this to. This is the new song. The understanding of what the Lord is showing us. We are the only ones that can learn that song. The Serpents and the Scorpions cannot learn it.
Back in Isaiah 48:3-7 we learned that they can’t see it, know it, or hear it. The Multitude doesn’t know this song. They also don’t have eyes to see or ears to hear and they can’t learn this song. When they do understand, they learn the song of Moses which has the Judgement of God within it. The new song is only learned by the 144,000. Notice the wording “as it were a new song.” This almost gives one the indication that this is an old song but it is made new with the understanding of the metaphoric language that He has imparted unto us. Therefore it is new to us.
For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. [10] But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. [11] When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. [12] For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. – 1 Corinthians 13:9-12
Here is an interesting verse. We partly know and we partly prophesy. When that which is perfect is come the “part” shall be done away with. What is it that is perfect that will come? This also has to do with understanding; an understanding of that as a child and progressing into the understanding of an adult. This also has to do with seeing through a glass darkly and then face to face. All three of these examples are speaking about progression. You start here in part, as a child, and seeing through a glass darkly to: the part goes away; for you now have the whole, becoming an adult, and seeing clearly.
These things have to do with knowledge and wisdom and understanding. That is what we have been covering in this writing. We are progressing from the old to the new, progressing from the literal to the spiritual. All of this happens when that which is perfect is come. What is perfect and when does it arrive?
Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. Matthew 5:48
Your Father in heaven is perfect and you are also to be perfect. And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him; - Hebrews 5:9
Jesus Christ is perfect.
To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, - Hebrews 12:23
The church of the firstborn is speaking about the church of Jesus Christ who is the firstborn of the dead. The members of this church have their names written in heaven and are just men made perfect. They are made perfect through the blood of the perfect one, Jesus Christ.
Is the perfect come? The perfect is Jesus Christ, the Father, and the just, that being the 144,000 who are found without fault before the Throne of God. They have been perfect before us, the apostles and all that walked in the doctrine of Jesus Christ. We are perfect now as the 144,000. We are the only ones that are perfect now for the church of Babylon is far from perfect. Is the perfect come?
Since Jesus Christ is perfect and He and His Father are one, then when Jesus Christ comes the part is done away with. Is Jesus Christ come? When does Jesus Christ come?
He comes at the coming of the Son of man which is parallel to the Tribulation. The coming of the Son of man is not a one time event at the 7th trumpet. It is a process that takes 3 ½ years to complete. Has the perfect come? Yes he has. But is that what the verse is referring to? Jesus Christ? Or is it referring to us, the 144,000? Let’s explore that.
Let’s look at the word perfect. Perfect’s under-definition means; complete (in various applications of labor, growth, mental and moral character, etc.)…completeness:--of full age, man, perfect. [5]
The word perfect means; complete in various areas including growth. Growth would also include understanding. It also has the definitions “of full age” and “man.” Let’s look at this verse again.
For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. [10] But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. [11] When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. [12] For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. – 1 Corinthians 13:9-12
The perfect is come. The 144,000 are complete in their understanding of the new thing that the Lord has done. They have come of full age as a man and put away childish things. We are no longer seeing through a glass darkly for the Lord is revealing all. Maybe not all as of yet, this too will progress as we continue in our use of the language.
Some of the 144,000 probably as yet do not even know they are one of the 144,000. But the Lord is calling them in. The key to being the 144,000 is not that you already know the language and are fluent in it. The key is when it is shown to you, you are able to grasp the language and learn it; or have a basic understanding of it. There is effort involved. There is study involved. Does “study to show thyself approved” ring a bell?
The glass that we were seeing through darkly has in some areas become crystal clear. In other areas it is still a bit murky, but as time progresses more areas are becoming clearer. A good example is the one that we are looking at right now. It was dark and as we progress; it is becoming clearer. It is this process that is occurring right now, right in our midst. The part has been done away with for we now know the secret which is the understanding of these things.
And who is showing us these things? It is the Lord through His grace and His mercy that he has chosen a people to show His secret to; the 144,000. They under-stand the plan of salvation that He has for the Multitude. The Multitude are the lost sheep of Israel heading for the slaughter and their names are written in heaven. He will be equipping them with the tools that they need to make it to the promise land. The Lord will use the 144,000, the Serpents, and the Scorpions as the conduits to work His work upon them. Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. – 2 Timothy 2:15
Are we studying? Yes, diligently, therefore we need not to be ashamed and studying makes us perfect. The more we understand the more perfect we become. Have you ever thought about this verse? What does rightly dividing the word of truth mean? It means rightly separating the Bible since the Bible is the word of Truth. How does one do that? How do you divide the Word of Truth?
To understand that we need not look any further than the very subject we are currently discussing. The spiritual overlay, the metaphoric language. What do the spiritual overlay and the metaphoric language do for us? It gives us an understanding of the groups and how things play out into the physical. There you have it; the groups, they being the Serpents, the Scorpions, and the Multitude. They are the groups within the church that are in Babylon. Wait a minute. Babylon is divided into thirds.
That’s it. It is the application of the Word of Truth to the groups that are divided. The Word of Truth, the Bible divides the three groups. When you rightly divide the Word of Truth you are making the proper identifications of these groups using the Word of Truth to do it. And this would include doing it rightly.
Studying it out to show thyself approved. Not making careless mistakes or being in a hurry. You don’t want to be ashamed. Searching it out diligently and carefully for the 144,000 that understand these things are perfect and perfection is the result of their studying.
Let’s go back to Isaiah 42:10 “Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein; the isles, and the inhabitants thereof.”
The ones that go down to the sea look to be the Multitude. They are in the sea and the isles. Let’s continue in Isaiah 42 just to make sure what the Lord is referring to is the new thing. That this ‘new thing’ is indeed speaking about the events of the Tribulation.
Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar (Kedar is a city where the Multitude is) doth inhabit: let the inhabitants of the rock sing, (Multitude hiding in the rocks and then in the rock of Jesus Christ) let them shout from the top of the mountains. (From Mount Zion when they come to the truth) [12] Let them give glory unto the LORD, and declare his praise in the islands. (The islands are where the Scorpions reside, but the Multitude is there also in their prison houses) [13] ¶ The LORD shall go forth as a mighty man, he shall stir up jealousy like a man of war: he shall cry, yea, roar; he shall prevail against his enemies. [14] I have long time
holden my peace; I have been still, and refrained myself: now will I cry like a travailing woman; I will destroy and devour at once. (The Tribulation) [15] I will make waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs; and I will make the rivers islands, and I will dry up the pools. [16] And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. (Multitude) These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them. [17] They shall be turned back, they shall be greatly ashamed, that trust in graven images, that say to the molten images, Ye are our gods. [18] ¶ Hear, ye deaf; and look, ye blind, that ye may see. [19] Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger that I sent? who is blind as he that is perfect, and blind as the LORD'S servant? [20] Seeing many things, but thou observest not; opening the ears, but he heareth not. [21] The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness' sake; he will magnify the law, and make it honourable. [22] But this is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: (Multitude) they are for a prey, and none delivereth; (Prey of the Serpents) for a spoil, and none saith, Restore. (Spoil of the Scorpions) [23] Who among you will give ear to this? who will hearken and hear for the time to come? (The 144,000 will) [24] Who gave Jacob (Multitude) for a spoil, and Israel (Multitude) to the robbers (Scorpions) did not the LORD, he against whom we have sinned? for they would not walk in his ways, neither were they obedient unto his law. [25] Therefore he hath poured upon him the fury of his anger, and the strength of battle: and it hath set him on fire round about, yet he knew not; and it burned him, yet he laid it not to heart. – Isaiah 42:11-25
Yes, this is most definitely speaking about the Tribulation. All of the players are in those passages. This is the new thing He is speaking about. This has been in the scriptures all over the place for thousands of years. The new thing that springeth forth is the understanding of the language so that we can understand the spiritual things of God that the Lord has kept hidden from us before.
This is the new thing. It is the under-standing of the old things that have already been recorded in the Bible by applying the metaphoric language using the spiritual overlay. We lay this over the scriptures of the Bible and receive the new understanding of what the scriptures are saying.
Jesus has told us of these things in a parable. It hasn’t been seen or applied to the metaphoric language, the spiritual overlay until now.
And he spake also a parable unto them; No man putteth a piece of a new garment upon an old; if otherwise, then both the new maketh a rent, and the piece that was taken out of the new agreeth not with the old. [37] And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish. [38] But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved. [39] No man also having drunk old wine straightway desireth new: for he saith, The old is better. Luke 5:36-39
Think about these verses for a moment. What is the new thing that we are discovering? The new thing is the understanding of the scriptures with the spiritual overlay. This parable is speaking about when you take piece of a new garment (New understanding) and put it on an old garment, (Old understanding) it doesn’t agree with the old. The new understanding can’t go with the old understanding. The two are like oil and water, they don’t mix.
He says the same thing about trying to put new wine into old bottles. The two are not compatible. They will break down when you try to fit one within the other.
Look at verse 39. This is a bit hard to understand. This man has drunk of the old wine (Old understanding) and does not desire new wine (New understanding) for he says the old is better. How does he say that the old is better when he hasn’t even tasted the new wine to compare with? There are no comparisons. The one drinking the old wine is satisfied with the old wine and doesn’t want any new wine. He is set in his ways and is comfortable where he is at, much like the Multitude, Serpents and the Scorpions.
What exactly is this telling us? What is it that is new? Is the metaphoric language new? No. The metaphoric language can be used for anything. Metaphoric language has been around a long time. Then what is new? It is our understanding of old scriptures that is new. An old scripture takes on a new meaning. This is the plural language. It is the understanding that is new.
If you place the word ‘understanding’ in the place of garment and bottle this is what you come up with. You can’t take the new understanding (Piece of garment) and place it within the old understanding (garment) because the new doesn’t agree with the old and it will tear apart, it won’t stay together. You can’t pour new understanding (Wine) into old understanding (Bottles) because the bottles will burst and both will be lost.
What is our old understanding of the Tribulational events? That they were going to manifest physically, right? That the trumpets and seal and vials were literal, right? That we were going to see all of these catastrophic events come upon this world, right? That the mark of the beast would be physical, right?
I would have to say yes to all of those. I believed all of those things were going to happen. The more the Lord showed me of the new thing, the more I realized that things that He was showing me didn’t fit within the physical catastrophic events that I was expecting. In fact, the more I began to see that they not only wouldn’t happen, but couldn’t happen.
When we begin to grasp this new understanding, our old understanding must go away for the two do not mix. You cannot take the new understanding and try to fit it within the old theology. Both of them become of no use to anybody. But when you put the new wine into new bottles, both are preserved.
This also gives us the indication that the old garment and the old bottles when left alone stay as they were. The understanding of the old will never progress for they are not willing to put down the old garment or the old bottles and replace the old garment and old bottles with new bottles for the new wine and a new piece of garment. They never see the new because they are content with the old.
This of course on another layer is speaking about the old man vs. the new man. You can’t mix the spiritual man with the earthly physical man. This also shows that there is a spiritual layer and a physical layer. So the understanding is a spiritual understanding vs. the earthly physical understanding. If you are led by the Spirit then you are a son of God. If you are led by the earth, you are the Multitude, Scorpion, or a Serpent not capable of understanding the new thing for they are content with their old moth eaten garment and the old bottles filled with old wine.
The language of metaphor that opens up our understanding is truly a language. There is a verse that connects with the new wine in the new bottles and it references “a pure language.”
For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the LORD, to serve him with one consent. - Zephaniah 3:9
The language of metaphor is a pure language. It is very concise and is in complete harmony with the scriptures when the proper identifications are made. This verse tells us that He will bring to the people a pure language and they will serve Him with one consent. This is the new thing that the Lord has done. He has revealed “His secret” through this pure language that we can partake of the “new wine,” and sing as it were a “new song.”
Let us begin this journey uncovering what has long been hidden. We will begin by looking at the 7 seals of Revelation and how they run through the scriptures with identifications that are the unfolding of understanding of end time characters and events. We will first look at the Four Horses of the Apocalypse.
1. Strong’s 1122
2. Strong’s 1121
3. Strong’s 1125
4. Webster’s New World Dictionary
5. Strong’s 5046
What you are about to read is a confirmation of this new understanding of old things. This new understanding is the usage of the metaphoric language to identify people, places, things, events, and being able to foretell coming events of the Tribulation. It not only gives us knowledge of things that are happening and will happen, but it gives us knowledge of what we, as the Remnant of Israel, the 144,000 are to do during this coming persecution of God’s chosen people.
This will substantiate that the language of metaphors is not only Biblical, but it has been foretold that this would happen. We are only beginning a journey that the Lord has destined for each one of us and that journey begins with the understanding of what the Lord would have us to know.
The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel; [2] To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding; [3] To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity; [4] To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion. [5] A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels: [6] To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings. [7] The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction. - Proverbs 1:1-7
My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee. [2] Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye. [3] Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thine heart. [4] Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call understanding thy kinswoman: [5] That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger which flattereth with her words. - Proverbs 7:1-5
My son, eat thou honey, because it is good; and the honeycomb, which is sweet to thy taste: [14] So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul: when thou hast found it, then there shall be a reward, and thy expectation shall not be cut off. - Proverbs 24:13,14
And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding: - Daniel 2:21
The wisdom and knowledge of the Lord are to be held close to each one of us. The wise are the 144,000, the five wise virgins. The foolish are the Multitude, the five unwise virgins. The wise who have the understanding will instruct the foolish, the Multitude.
This knowledge and understanding comes from the Lord. He is the one that gives us the wisdom and the understanding of these things. It is not of us, if it was, this would have been figured out long ago. These secrets that the Lord is now revealing to us have been locked up for thousands of years. We are living in the time that the Lord has ordained to raise up a people to be His light, a beacon shining from Mt. Zion to the lost sheep of Israel that they may find the Truth, and the Truth will set them free.
They will still be imprisoned and they will still be killed, but they will go to their death knowing this Truth; they shall rise during the sounding of the 7th trumpet. They will be the Redeemed of Israel, the Glory of the Lord.
We have a mission in front of us as the 144,000. It would be best to begin this mission knowing that the secret that He has revealed to us is for us. It is to be understood by us that we may become more skilled in the language of metaphors. This is His language that He uses to speak to us within the words of the Bible. He is the beginning and the end. The end is here and this is the Revelation of Jesus Christ; the Revelation of His Word.
Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old. - Matthew 13:52
What is a scribe? A scribe is a person who records things in a written record. The definition for scribe is; a writer, i.e. (professionally) scribe or secretary:--scribe.[1]
The under-definition for scribe is; a writing, i.e. a letter, note, epistle, book, etc.; plural learning:--bill, learning, letter, scripture, writing, written. [2]
The next under-definition means; to "grave", especially to write; figuratively, to describe:--describe, write(-ing, -ten). [3]
A scribe is someone who writes. Notice in the first under-definition the phrase plural learning.
The word plural as defined in the dictionary means; of or including more than one. Included in the definition when plural is used in grammar a) designating of more than one (of what is referred to). b) in languages having dual number, designating or of more than one (of what is referred to). When used as a noun in grammar, 1. the plural number. 2. a plural form of a word. [4]
Wow, do you see this. Plural in grammar and language means that there are two identifications to words or numbers. We have been doing this for over five years now and are just now finding out that this is exactly the way that the Lord has designated this to happen. This is how the Lord retains His glory.
If this was me or you doing this we would have figured this out long ago. But we are not doing this. This is the Lord. He has shown us the system of the metaphoric language and how to use it. We didn’t really know what we were doing. We just saw the patterns and the Lord began to reveal this to us; slowly, methodically and continuously. If any of you have been with us in our first shows on the Threshing Floor you would recognize that we were babes trying to learn this system. Through countless hours we along with you have honed our skills in the use of the plural words and numbers; the metaphoric language.
The plural learning is the metaphoric language that we have learned and are continuing to learn. What magnificent things the Lord has in store for His people.
The scribe that is instructed (By the Lord) in the kingdom of heaven, writes in written form the plural learning. That is what you are reading right now. This journey has only begun.
Notice the next part of the verse, for this clarifies the plural learning definition of scribe and confirms that this was written for us at the end of the age.
Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old. - Matthew 13:52
The scribe is like a householder that brings out of his treasure (The Bible) things old and new. This would be referring to the things that happened to them to be ensamples upon us whom the end of the age has come. The old is referring to the examples that we can receive a plural understanding of. We apply the new, (Revelation from the Lord) metaphors upon these words and concepts and this gives us the understanding of the metaphoric language and how to apply the learning that we receive to the world around us and to the future.
Here is a passage that tells us that there are old things that the Lord has shown in times past, and also new things, hidden things.
I have declared the former things from the beginning; and they went forth out of my mouth, and I shewed them; I did them suddenly, and they came to pass. [4] Because I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass; [5] I have even from the beginning declared it to thee; before it came to pass I shewed it thee: lest thou shouldest say, Mine idol hath done them, and my graven image, and my molten image, hath commanded them. [6]Thou hast heard, see all this; and will not ye declare it? I have shewed thee new things from this time, even hidden things, and thou didst not know them. [7] They are created now, and not from the beginning; even before the day when thou heardest them not; lest thou shouldest say, Behold, I knew them. - Isaiah 48:3-7
The Lord is actually speaking to the Serpents and the Scorpions. Notice the identification in verse 4. “Thy neck is an iron sinew, (Scorpions) and thy brow brass;” (Serpents). He is telling them that He, the Lord has shown them things in the past, of works that He was going to do in the future so they could not say that other gods had done what the Lord had declared beforehand.
The Lord then continues in verse 6, that He has shown them new things from this time, even hidden things and they didn’t know them; because their eyes are completely blinded. The Lord states that they are created now, before the day that they didn’t hear them, so they couldn’t say that they knew them.
This is pretty hard to decipher but to put it simply; the Lord is stating that (Para-phrased) ‘I have before declared what I was going to do and it came to pass. Since I declared it before hand, this proves that it was I that had done this and not any of the gods that you follow.’
He goes on to state (Paraphrased) ‘I have created a new thing that I have declared. I have done this beforehand knowing that you will not hear them because you are unrighteous and unworthy. But my servants will hear them and know these new things, even hidden things that I have declared beforehand.’
The Lord is stating that He declares what He is going to do before He does them. This new thing, even the hidden things, is for us to know and not them. It is something that we will be able to see and recognize for we have eyes to see and ears to hear. If you will notice that the three elements see, know, and hear are what they don’t possess for they don’t have are eyes to see, nor ears to hear, nor a mind to know these things for it is hidden from all but His servants.
What is this new thing that the Lord is speaking about?
Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. [19] Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. - Isaiah 43:18, 19
The Lords states in this verse that “I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth;” and then He says “shall ye not know it?” His questioning is stated in a way that is saying that we will know when He does this new thing.
I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images. [9] Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them. – Isaiah 42:8, 9
Here it is. The former (old) things are come to pass and new things He declares. Before they spring forth He will tell us. Just as He states in this next verse.
Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets. - Amos 3:7
Let’s look at those verses again continuing in verse 10.
I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images. [9] Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them. [10] Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein; the isles, and the inhabitants thereof. – Isaiah 42:8-10
Before they spring forth He will reveal His secret to us and then it tells us to sing a new song to the Lord. When does he tell us these new things and when are we to sing a new song. Who sings the new song and what is the new song?
And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth. Revelation 14:3
It is the 144,000 that the Lord shows this to. This is the new song. The understanding of what the Lord is showing us. We are the only ones that can learn that song. The Serpents and the Scorpions cannot learn it.
Back in Isaiah 48:3-7 we learned that they can’t see it, know it, or hear it. The Multitude doesn’t know this song. They also don’t have eyes to see or ears to hear and they can’t learn this song. When they do understand, they learn the song of Moses which has the Judgement of God within it. The new song is only learned by the 144,000. Notice the wording “as it were a new song.” This almost gives one the indication that this is an old song but it is made new with the understanding of the metaphoric language that He has imparted unto us. Therefore it is new to us.
For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. [10] But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. [11] When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. [12] For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. – 1 Corinthians 13:9-12
Here is an interesting verse. We partly know and we partly prophesy. When that which is perfect is come the “part” shall be done away with. What is it that is perfect that will come? This also has to do with understanding; an understanding of that as a child and progressing into the understanding of an adult. This also has to do with seeing through a glass darkly and then face to face. All three of these examples are speaking about progression. You start here in part, as a child, and seeing through a glass darkly to: the part goes away; for you now have the whole, becoming an adult, and seeing clearly.
These things have to do with knowledge and wisdom and understanding. That is what we have been covering in this writing. We are progressing from the old to the new, progressing from the literal to the spiritual. All of this happens when that which is perfect is come. What is perfect and when does it arrive?
Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. Matthew 5:48
Your Father in heaven is perfect and you are also to be perfect. And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him; - Hebrews 5:9
Jesus Christ is perfect.
To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, - Hebrews 12:23
The church of the firstborn is speaking about the church of Jesus Christ who is the firstborn of the dead. The members of this church have their names written in heaven and are just men made perfect. They are made perfect through the blood of the perfect one, Jesus Christ.
Is the perfect come? The perfect is Jesus Christ, the Father, and the just, that being the 144,000 who are found without fault before the Throne of God. They have been perfect before us, the apostles and all that walked in the doctrine of Jesus Christ. We are perfect now as the 144,000. We are the only ones that are perfect now for the church of Babylon is far from perfect. Is the perfect come?
Since Jesus Christ is perfect and He and His Father are one, then when Jesus Christ comes the part is done away with. Is Jesus Christ come? When does Jesus Christ come?
He comes at the coming of the Son of man which is parallel to the Tribulation. The coming of the Son of man is not a one time event at the 7th trumpet. It is a process that takes 3 ½ years to complete. Has the perfect come? Yes he has. But is that what the verse is referring to? Jesus Christ? Or is it referring to us, the 144,000? Let’s explore that.
Let’s look at the word perfect. Perfect’s under-definition means; complete (in various applications of labor, growth, mental and moral character, etc.)…completeness:--of full age, man, perfect. [5]
The word perfect means; complete in various areas including growth. Growth would also include understanding. It also has the definitions “of full age” and “man.” Let’s look at this verse again.
For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. [10] But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. [11] When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. [12] For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. – 1 Corinthians 13:9-12
The perfect is come. The 144,000 are complete in their understanding of the new thing that the Lord has done. They have come of full age as a man and put away childish things. We are no longer seeing through a glass darkly for the Lord is revealing all. Maybe not all as of yet, this too will progress as we continue in our use of the language.
Some of the 144,000 probably as yet do not even know they are one of the 144,000. But the Lord is calling them in. The key to being the 144,000 is not that you already know the language and are fluent in it. The key is when it is shown to you, you are able to grasp the language and learn it; or have a basic understanding of it. There is effort involved. There is study involved. Does “study to show thyself approved” ring a bell?
The glass that we were seeing through darkly has in some areas become crystal clear. In other areas it is still a bit murky, but as time progresses more areas are becoming clearer. A good example is the one that we are looking at right now. It was dark and as we progress; it is becoming clearer. It is this process that is occurring right now, right in our midst. The part has been done away with for we now know the secret which is the understanding of these things.
And who is showing us these things? It is the Lord through His grace and His mercy that he has chosen a people to show His secret to; the 144,000. They under-stand the plan of salvation that He has for the Multitude. The Multitude are the lost sheep of Israel heading for the slaughter and their names are written in heaven. He will be equipping them with the tools that they need to make it to the promise land. The Lord will use the 144,000, the Serpents, and the Scorpions as the conduits to work His work upon them. Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. – 2 Timothy 2:15
Are we studying? Yes, diligently, therefore we need not to be ashamed and studying makes us perfect. The more we understand the more perfect we become. Have you ever thought about this verse? What does rightly dividing the word of truth mean? It means rightly separating the Bible since the Bible is the word of Truth. How does one do that? How do you divide the Word of Truth?
To understand that we need not look any further than the very subject we are currently discussing. The spiritual overlay, the metaphoric language. What do the spiritual overlay and the metaphoric language do for us? It gives us an understanding of the groups and how things play out into the physical. There you have it; the groups, they being the Serpents, the Scorpions, and the Multitude. They are the groups within the church that are in Babylon. Wait a minute. Babylon is divided into thirds.
That’s it. It is the application of the Word of Truth to the groups that are divided. The Word of Truth, the Bible divides the three groups. When you rightly divide the Word of Truth you are making the proper identifications of these groups using the Word of Truth to do it. And this would include doing it rightly.
Studying it out to show thyself approved. Not making careless mistakes or being in a hurry. You don’t want to be ashamed. Searching it out diligently and carefully for the 144,000 that understand these things are perfect and perfection is the result of their studying.
Let’s go back to Isaiah 42:10 “Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein; the isles, and the inhabitants thereof.”
The ones that go down to the sea look to be the Multitude. They are in the sea and the isles. Let’s continue in Isaiah 42 just to make sure what the Lord is referring to is the new thing. That this ‘new thing’ is indeed speaking about the events of the Tribulation.
Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar (Kedar is a city where the Multitude is) doth inhabit: let the inhabitants of the rock sing, (Multitude hiding in the rocks and then in the rock of Jesus Christ) let them shout from the top of the mountains. (From Mount Zion when they come to the truth) [12] Let them give glory unto the LORD, and declare his praise in the islands. (The islands are where the Scorpions reside, but the Multitude is there also in their prison houses) [13] ¶ The LORD shall go forth as a mighty man, he shall stir up jealousy like a man of war: he shall cry, yea, roar; he shall prevail against his enemies. [14] I have long time
holden my peace; I have been still, and refrained myself: now will I cry like a travailing woman; I will destroy and devour at once. (The Tribulation) [15] I will make waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs; and I will make the rivers islands, and I will dry up the pools. [16] And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. (Multitude) These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them. [17] They shall be turned back, they shall be greatly ashamed, that trust in graven images, that say to the molten images, Ye are our gods. [18] ¶ Hear, ye deaf; and look, ye blind, that ye may see. [19] Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger that I sent? who is blind as he that is perfect, and blind as the LORD'S servant? [20] Seeing many things, but thou observest not; opening the ears, but he heareth not. [21] The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness' sake; he will magnify the law, and make it honourable. [22] But this is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: (Multitude) they are for a prey, and none delivereth; (Prey of the Serpents) for a spoil, and none saith, Restore. (Spoil of the Scorpions) [23] Who among you will give ear to this? who will hearken and hear for the time to come? (The 144,000 will) [24] Who gave Jacob (Multitude) for a spoil, and Israel (Multitude) to the robbers (Scorpions) did not the LORD, he against whom we have sinned? for they would not walk in his ways, neither were they obedient unto his law. [25] Therefore he hath poured upon him the fury of his anger, and the strength of battle: and it hath set him on fire round about, yet he knew not; and it burned him, yet he laid it not to heart. – Isaiah 42:11-25
Yes, this is most definitely speaking about the Tribulation. All of the players are in those passages. This is the new thing He is speaking about. This has been in the scriptures all over the place for thousands of years. The new thing that springeth forth is the understanding of the language so that we can understand the spiritual things of God that the Lord has kept hidden from us before.
This is the new thing. It is the under-standing of the old things that have already been recorded in the Bible by applying the metaphoric language using the spiritual overlay. We lay this over the scriptures of the Bible and receive the new understanding of what the scriptures are saying.
Jesus has told us of these things in a parable. It hasn’t been seen or applied to the metaphoric language, the spiritual overlay until now.
And he spake also a parable unto them; No man putteth a piece of a new garment upon an old; if otherwise, then both the new maketh a rent, and the piece that was taken out of the new agreeth not with the old. [37] And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish. [38] But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved. [39] No man also having drunk old wine straightway desireth new: for he saith, The old is better. Luke 5:36-39
Think about these verses for a moment. What is the new thing that we are discovering? The new thing is the understanding of the scriptures with the spiritual overlay. This parable is speaking about when you take piece of a new garment (New understanding) and put it on an old garment, (Old understanding) it doesn’t agree with the old. The new understanding can’t go with the old understanding. The two are like oil and water, they don’t mix.
He says the same thing about trying to put new wine into old bottles. The two are not compatible. They will break down when you try to fit one within the other.
Look at verse 39. This is a bit hard to understand. This man has drunk of the old wine (Old understanding) and does not desire new wine (New understanding) for he says the old is better. How does he say that the old is better when he hasn’t even tasted the new wine to compare with? There are no comparisons. The one drinking the old wine is satisfied with the old wine and doesn’t want any new wine. He is set in his ways and is comfortable where he is at, much like the Multitude, Serpents and the Scorpions.
What exactly is this telling us? What is it that is new? Is the metaphoric language new? No. The metaphoric language can be used for anything. Metaphoric language has been around a long time. Then what is new? It is our understanding of old scriptures that is new. An old scripture takes on a new meaning. This is the plural language. It is the understanding that is new.
If you place the word ‘understanding’ in the place of garment and bottle this is what you come up with. You can’t take the new understanding (Piece of garment) and place it within the old understanding (garment) because the new doesn’t agree with the old and it will tear apart, it won’t stay together. You can’t pour new understanding (Wine) into old understanding (Bottles) because the bottles will burst and both will be lost.
What is our old understanding of the Tribulational events? That they were going to manifest physically, right? That the trumpets and seal and vials were literal, right? That we were going to see all of these catastrophic events come upon this world, right? That the mark of the beast would be physical, right?
I would have to say yes to all of those. I believed all of those things were going to happen. The more the Lord showed me of the new thing, the more I realized that things that He was showing me didn’t fit within the physical catastrophic events that I was expecting. In fact, the more I began to see that they not only wouldn’t happen, but couldn’t happen.
When we begin to grasp this new understanding, our old understanding must go away for the two do not mix. You cannot take the new understanding and try to fit it within the old theology. Both of them become of no use to anybody. But when you put the new wine into new bottles, both are preserved.
This also gives us the indication that the old garment and the old bottles when left alone stay as they were. The understanding of the old will never progress for they are not willing to put down the old garment or the old bottles and replace the old garment and old bottles with new bottles for the new wine and a new piece of garment. They never see the new because they are content with the old.
This of course on another layer is speaking about the old man vs. the new man. You can’t mix the spiritual man with the earthly physical man. This also shows that there is a spiritual layer and a physical layer. So the understanding is a spiritual understanding vs. the earthly physical understanding. If you are led by the Spirit then you are a son of God. If you are led by the earth, you are the Multitude, Scorpion, or a Serpent not capable of understanding the new thing for they are content with their old moth eaten garment and the old bottles filled with old wine.
The language of metaphor that opens up our understanding is truly a language. There is a verse that connects with the new wine in the new bottles and it references “a pure language.”
For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the LORD, to serve him with one consent. - Zephaniah 3:9
The language of metaphor is a pure language. It is very concise and is in complete harmony with the scriptures when the proper identifications are made. This verse tells us that He will bring to the people a pure language and they will serve Him with one consent. This is the new thing that the Lord has done. He has revealed “His secret” through this pure language that we can partake of the “new wine,” and sing as it were a “new song.”
Let us begin this journey uncovering what has long been hidden. We will begin by looking at the 7 seals of Revelation and how they run through the scriptures with identifications that are the unfolding of understanding of end time characters and events. We will first look at the Four Horses of the Apocalypse.
