Revelation Revealed Cont'd

Revelation Revealed (cont’d) *Information from “Lost in Translation, Vol 2” by John Klien and Adam Spears The Torah, itself (the teachings and instructions of Yahweh) takes the form of a classic Hebrew ketubah. Here are some significant parallels to the marriage contract itself, one from the beginning of Scripture and one form the very end. The first 5 books of the Bible correspond to the five parts of the ancient Hebrew ketubah. Genesis – provides the combined family history of the Bride and Groom. Exodus - gives the personal and family history of the Bride. Leviticus – provides the history of Yahweh’s “family.” The Levites. Numbers – tells of Yahweh’s love affair with His people in the wilderness and records His joys and sorrows as He reaches out to His Bride. Deuteronomy – specifies the responsibilities that both Bride and Groom must fulfill. The Bible is a love story between the Creator of the Universe and His Creation. It all begins with the first five books of the Bible whish IS the marriage contract between Yahweh and His people –US! The question…..How can we fulfill our responsibilities of a faithful and pure Bride before our Groom, if we do not know what the terms of the marriage contract is? Answer……we can’t. This truth has been hidden by the enemy within the “Christian” church teaching for centuries. But our Father is revealing it to His chosen and called ones now for such a time as this. Now, on to revelation Chapter 1. The lampstand is a menorah, the gold hammered candelabra with the 7 candles. The candle in the middle is called the Shamash. It represents Yahshua being the center of all of everything and the source of everything. Literally speaking, the oil that is placed in the menorah to light the whole of the menorah, is put in and the central or shamash candle supplied all the other candles on the menorah with their light. Seven messengers are there at Yahshua’s right hand (which means they are there to serve Him and do His will and work.) Yahshua is sending a message to the seven assemblies. Yahshua proceeds to tell John where He is pleased and where He is not

pleased with the actions of each of the seven assemblies. I am not going to go into much about the assemblies at this time, because I just do not know REALLY what it means. Except to say that it does reveal some things to us about the character of our Creator and what our Creator likes and dislikes, approves of and does not approve of, what pleases Him and what doesn’t. I have prayed to the Holy Spirit to reveal to me more if there is more and I am in waiting mode at this time.

Chapter 2-3. Assembly at Ephesus Assembly at Smyrna Assembly at Pergamos Assembly at Thyatira Assembly at Sardis Assembly at Philadelphia Assembly at Laodicea Chapter 4-5. (Shamash Chapers) John sees the Throne of Yahweh 24 Elders, in white robes with gold crowns. We are told who 12 of the 24 are. They are the 12 disciples. In Matthew 19:28, Yahshua himself told the 12 they would be with Him, sitting around His Throne, judging the 12 tribes. Ancient Rabbinical writings suggest that the other 12 will be the Heads of the 12 tribes identified in the Torah in the book of Numbers. The 4 creatures around the Throne are 4 Cherubim (these are the archangels created by Yahweh.) He created 6 Cherubim, but 2 fell as 1/3 of the Fallen Angels. The 4 present at the throne, we know who they are and their names are: Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel. They have specific duties that have been assigned to them by Yahweh. In verse 5:1-5, one of the Cherubim says, “who is worthy to open the book, and break its seals?” No one seems worthy and there is weeping. Then……. This is where it gets really good and where it is important to understand from a Hebrew perspective, and why we cannot understand it from a Greek perspective. The book is not a book at all. It is a scroll. A scroll is what the ancients used to write on. Usually scrolls were made of sheep skin from the underbelly or later on papyrus. But this scroll is not just any scroll. It has writing on BOTH sides. The ONLY other scroll ever mentioned in

the scriptures to have writing on both sides (scrolls were only written on one side, always) was the stone tablets that Moses brought down from Mt Sinai that Yahweh had written by His Own Hand! Exodus 32:15. Therefore it is a fact that this scroll Yahweh is holding in his right Hand IS the Torah! The marriage contract, the Ketubah! Now, according to the ancient Hebrew marriage ritual, who was the only person that had authority to open and read the ketubah? Yes, the Groom. So here, in revelation, it is the Groom, Yahshua, the Lamb of our Elohim and our salvation. Revelation 5:9 tells us that that the Lamb is worthy for He is the Groom, He proclaims His Bride pure although she is NOT pure. But He can do that because remember, HE PAID THE PRICE OF REDEMPTION FOR HER SIN WITH HIS DEATH AND BLOOD ON THE CROSS! Next, the seals are not seals that we would think of. We think of a drop of wax placed on a closed document, then stamped with the signet ring of someone in authority right? Not so. Our Greek bible says seals, but the Hebrew word is SIGNATURE. 7 signatures. Does this sound familiar? The Ketubah had seven signatures. The Groom, the Bride, Father of Bride, Father of Groom, 2 witnesses, and a scribe. Check it out…….Adam and Noah are the two witnesses Abraham is the father of the Groom (Yahshua’s lineage can be found in Matthew Chapter 1) Jacob/Israel is the father of the Bride (father of the 12 tribes of Israel) Moses is the scribe. He wrote the Torah according to the inspiration of Yahweh David is the Bride – via covenant that we will have to get into later very important Yahshua is the Groom This takes us up to Chapter 6 with I will continue in the next posting. Praise Yahweh forever and ever for His never-ending love for us!
