THE REVELATION OF THE FOUR BEASTS

Revelation 4: 6
And before the throne there was a sea
of glass like unto crystal; and in the
midst of the throne, and round about
the throne, were FOUR BEASTS full
of eyes before and behind.

There are Four Beasts (Four Riders; Lamb) who come from
the MIDST (middle) of the throne, these represent the Lamb (Four
HorseMEN). The Lamb is from the MIDST of the throne, see Rev.5:6.
There are Four Beasts ROUND ABOUT the throne as well. There
are two groups of Four Beasts. The Beasts have eyes before (in front)
and behind them (at the back); this signifies that the Beasts can see
the future (eyes before) and the past (eyes behind them). The Lamb
revealed to them (Four Beasts ROUND ABOUT the throne) the
Seven Seals: the mysteries contained in the words of the Prophets
which have a ‘Thus Saith the Lord’. Thereby the Beasts know the
past (where they have been) and the future (where they are going)
as revealed in prophecy. The Beasts ROUND ABOUT the throne
have received the knowledge of the past, present and future because
the Lamb who had Seven Eyes (complete vision) and Seven Horns
(complete power) revealed unto them the Revelation of the Seven
Seals Scroll.

Rev.4: 7
And the first beast was like a lion,
and the second beast was like a calf,
and the third beast had a face as a
man, and the fourth beast was like
a flying eagle.

The features of each Beast denotes the characteristics of all Four
Beasts. The face like a lion reveals them as kings of the beasts. The
face like a calf reveals they are to be sacrificed upon the altar of the
Fifth Seal (see Rev.6:9) for the Word of God (Seven Seals); the
Lamb (sacrificial animal) who revealed the Seven Seals has been
sacrificed (killed). The face of a man reveals that these Beasts are
humans. Man has degenerated since the fall of the first two in Eden
(Adam and Eve). Today man’s nature is likened unto beasts (animals).

Eccl.3:18, I said in my heart concerning the estate of the sons of
men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that
they themselves ARE BEASTS.

God wants us to realize that we are no better than the beasts of the
field whilst in the sinful beastly flesh. The manner in which God dealt
with king Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon is a good example of what
God can do with those who are willing to have their hearts and minds
renewed by the Spirit of Truth contained in the Seven Seals
(see Dan.4:19-37 which refers to Nebuchadnezzar).

The Beasts have also the face of a flying eagle, revealing they
are the king (eagle) of birds which fly in heaven (atmosphere),
and are to resurrect (fly) from the earth.

Rev.5: 8
And when he had taken the book,
the four beasts and four and twenty
elders fell down before the Lamb,
having every one of them harps,
and golden vials full of odors,
which are the prayers of saints.

The Lamb took the book (scroll) from the Right Hand of the
one who sits upon the throne, see Rev.5:1,7. The Four Beasts
ROUND ABOUT the throne and Twenty-four Elders worship
the Lamb (Four Beasts in the MIDST of the throne) with
golden vials (bowls) full of odors (prayers). The golden vials
(bowls) denote that they officiate in the heavenly sanctuary (temple)
of God. The priests being shown as Four Beasts ROUND ABOUT
the throne signifies that the things which are revealed in heaven
are a mirror (vision) reflection of what is taking place in the latter
days upon the earth. The Lamb (High Priest) is typified by Aaron
(High Priest). The Four Beasts (priests) that are ROUND ABOUT
the throne are typified by the four sons (priests) of Aaron who
ministered in the earthly sanctuary. The Four Beasts who are ROUND
ABOUT the throne are the Lamb’s Bride who were the to receive
the Seven Seals Scroll in the last generation, thereby understanding
the mysteries of prophecy.

Rev.5: 9
And they sung a new song, saying,
Thou art worthy to take the book,
and to open the seals thereof: for
thou wast slain, and hast redeemed
us to God by thy blood out of every
kindred, and tongue, and people,
and nation.

The Four Beasts (priests) and the Twenty-four Elders (kings)
sing a New Song. The New Song is the Song (Seven Seals)
of the Lamb, which is the Seven Seals Mystery contained in
the words of the Prophets and Moses, see Rev.15:2-4.

In the last generation, the Lamb (Man-child) has revealed the
Seven Seals to his Bride (The Bride is represented by the
Four Horses/Beasts who are ROUND ABOUT the throne).
The Four Beasts (Four Riders) from the MIDST of the throne
are typified by Jacob and the Four Beasts ROUND ABOUT
the throne are typified by Jacob’s four wives and the twelve
Apostles.

The Four Beasts who are ROUND ABOUT the throne are to
be redeemed from the last living generation. The other groups
of Four Beasts are redeemed from all new testament generations
during the three and a half days of Rev.11:11. During the three
and a half days the Two Witnesses (Spirit of the Lamb and
Chosen Vessel written on each side of the scroll) redeem a
multitude making up the 200,000,000 from the past dead. During
the three and a half days the Lamb and the Chosen Vessel are
dead in the flesh (the last three and a half days of the 1,260
days, see Rev.11:11) but alive in the spirit. The Four Beasts
ROUND ABOUT the throne include people who had died from
the time of the ascension of Yahshua (Christ) to the time of the
latter day Lamb. The Four Beasts (200,000,000) ROUND ABOUT
the throne are typified by the multitude that resurrected with Christ
when he arose after three days.

Mt.27:52, And the graves were opened; and many of the bodies
of the Saints which slept arose.

When Christ resurrected 2,000 years ago, a multitude of Saints
resurrected with Christ. The multitude who resurrected with Christ
typify the 200,000,000 who are to be redeemed from the generations
after Yahshua (Christ 2,000 years ago) to the generation of the
latter day Lamb. The Lamb revealed the Seven Seals to the last
generation of the living, before the Sixth Seal.

The multitude whom Christ gathered were from the generations
after Adam to Christ, typifying the resurrected group of Rev.9:3,
who are the 200,000,000 Horses (feminine; perfect mates).
The Riders (masculine; perfect mates), of the all the Horses is
the Lamb, see also Is.34:16.

Mt.12:40, For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the
whale’s (great fish) belly; so shall the son of man be three days
and three nights in the heart of the earth.

Christ said he would be in the heart of the earth for three days
signifying his death. Christ is the written Word made flesh. The
Word was written by the Prophets concerning the Messiah.
When Christ said he would be in the heart of the earth for three
days and three nights he was quoting from prophecy which is
written in the words (scriptures) of God.

Mk.14:21, The Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him;
but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! Good
were it for that man if he had never been born.

That which was written concerning Christ (in the Word of God)
was how Christ’s ministry and death had to happen, because
Christ is the written Word (that was written by the Prophets)
made into flesh (fulfilled).

Jn.2:19, Destroy this temple (body of Christ), and in three days
I will raise it up.

Christ was without a doubt quoting prophecy from the old testament
writings of the Prophets, because the Son of Man goeth as it is written
of him, see Mk.14:21. The new testament writings had not yet been
written in the days of Christ’s ministry. Therefore, Christ was quoting
from the old testament scriptures.

Dan.9:27, And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week:
and in the MIDST of the WEEK he (Christ) shall cause the sacrifice
and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations
he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation (cleansing of
the sanctuary), and that determined (God’s Word) shall be poured
(spirit of burning) upon the desolate (those who have an Abomination
written in their foreheads).

In Dan.9:27, the Messiah is to prophesy for the last week of the 70
week period mentioned in Dan.9:24. The one week was the last week
of the Messiah’s ministry. In the MIDST (middle) of the last week
the Messiah was cut off (killed, Dan.9:26). Half (Midst) of a week is
three and a half days. Christ the Messiah was referring to Dan.9:27
when he quoted the three days and three nights in the heart of the earth
being the sign of Jonah to the world at that time. In the Midst (middle)
of the week Christ replaced the sacrificial offerings for sin, with his own
body (Lamb of God) which atoned for the sins of many. Therefore
those who kept offering animals as an atonement for sin after the Lamb
(Christ) of God offered himself 2,000 years ago, meant they were
offering an Abomination which left them desolate.

The same applies in the latter days being the anti-type of the Christ
2,000 years ago. The latter day Lamb reveals who he is, by opening
(unlocking) the Seven Seals Mysteries which no man can do except
the Lamb of God. Thereafter, those who still follow the past way of
offering worship to God, even through the name of Yahshua (Jesus),
are offering an Abomination to God which will leave them desolate.
The latter day Lamb has a New Name which no man knows except
the Lamb himself, see Rev.2:17; 3:12; 6:8; 19:12. The Christians
who have rejected the Revelation of the Seven Seals have in its
(Seven Seals) place an Abomination (Christian theology
and worship).

Christ 2,000 years ago was killed (cut off) in the middle (midst)
of the week, see Dan. 9:27. The prophecy of Daniel says that the
Messiah is to confirm the covenant (Present Truth) with MANY
for one week, see Dan.9:27. Christ was killed in the midst of the
week, which still leaves three and a half days remaining to confirm
the covenant with the MANY for one week. After Christ had
confirmed the covenant with his disciples during the final days of
his earthly ministry, he was then crucified in the middle of the week
of Dan.9:27.

Christ replaced the sacrificial lambs with his own body (in the
Midst of the week) as an atonement for the sins of the world.
For the remainder of the three and a half days (of the week of
Dan.9:27) the Spirit of Christ (being dead in the flesh while his
body lay in the tomb of Joseph of Arimathaea) returned to the
dead spirits of the past. In other words, when Christ was killed,
for the three and a half days while his dead body lay in the tomb,
Christ’s spirit returned to the lost sinners of the past who had died
in their sins without ever hearing the words of Christ. Christ stated
during his earthly ministry that had he preached to Sodom as he
had preached to the Jews (Judah) Sodom would not have been
destroyed because many would have believed on him, see Mt.11:23,
ref. to Sodom.

1Pet.3:18, For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just
for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death
(crucified) in the flesh (body), but quickened (made alive) by
the Spirit (having no bounds).

1Pet.3:19, By which (Christ’s death) also he (Christ) went
and preached unto the spirits (dead of the past) in prison
(bottomless pit; grave; death);

1Pet.3:20, Which sometime (in the past) were disobedient
(rejecters of God’s Word through the Prophets), when
once the long-suffering of God waited in the days of Noah,
while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls
were saved by water.

During the latter half of the week (being the three and a half
days of Dan.9:27), while his body lay in the tomb, Christ’s
spirit was quickened (alive) and able to return (past) to the
spirits (dead) who once lived in the generations from Adam to
Christ who were disobedient to God’s messengers of the past.
In that three and a half days while he lay in the tomb, Christ was
able to set up a kind of dreamworld in every past generation,
which would seem like the real world to those who were repeating
their life in this ‘dreamworld’ which did not actually exist in reality.
Christ was able to minister unto those people of the past, who
were disobedient to the messengers whom God had sent to them
in their actual lives.

After Christ had received a new experience with his Apostles
during his earthly ministry, Christ could better understand the
people who had lived in the past. Therefore when he returned
in spirit (dead in the flesh) to those of the past, the people who
Christ returned to did not realize they had already lived their lives
and were now repeating their lives in a ‘playback of a video’ so
to speak. Christ was ‘edited’ into their dreamworld in an attempt
to save the spirits that were once lost. Every generation will have
the same privileges of having Christ (Word made flesh) preach in
their time. God is able to repeat the past, and edit Christ into the
past. After the three and a half days in the tomb, Christ arose and
many of them which slept also arose with Christ after hearing
his voice.

Jn.5:25, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming,
and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son
of God: and they that hear shall live.

Mt.27:52,53, And the graves were opened; and many of the
bodies of the saints which slept arose (after Christ’s resurrection),
and came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the
holy city (Jerusalem), and appeared unto many.

Those who resurrected with Christ in Mt.27:52, were those whom
the spirit of Christ had returned to in the past, while Christ’s body
lay in the tomb for three and a half days. Christ saved a multitude
of Saints which were previously lost until Christ returned in the spirit
to save them. Once the types of the past are understood, the anti-types
of the future become clear. The Christ (Yahshua) of 2,000 years ago
typifies the latter day Lamb with the Seven Seals. The multitude who
resurrected with Christ typify the 200,000,000 Horses (Bride; feminine)
and HorseMEN (Lamb; masculine) of Rev.9:3,14-16. The same spirit
which dwelled in Christ 2,000 years ago, is the same Spirit of Prophecy
given to the latter day Lamb. The Apostles are past types of the Four
Beasts which are ROUND ABOUT the throne. The Four Beasts
ROUND ABOUT the throne are anti-types of the multitude of Apostles
who resurrected with Christ.

The First OF the Firstfruits gathered from the living, is descriptive
of the Bride (Four Beasts ROUND ABOUT the throne). The
120 in the upper room of Acts 1:15; 2:1, typify the one group of
Firstfruits (Fellowservants) who are gathered from the last generation
of the living by the Chosen Vessel with the Remaining Bride. The Four
Beasts ROUND ABOUT the throne represent the First OF the Firstfruits
who are also gathered from every new testament generation. The one
group of Firstfruits (Fellowservants) are gathered by the Chosen Vessel
with the Remaining Bride before the Sixth Seal, and are typified by the
120 in the upper room of Acts 1:15; 2:1. The Firstfruits (Fellowservants
and 144,000) are represented by the Twenty-four Elders. The Fruit
harvest of Lev.23:39 symbolizes the Great Multitude, who are gathered
after the Sixth Seal by the Firstfruits.

1Cor.10:10,11, Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured,
and were destroyed of the destroyer (Christ; Ex.12:23; Rev.6:8; 9:11).
Now all these things happened unto them for our (latter day people)
ensamples, and they are written for our admonition upon whom the ends
of the world are come.

The events of the past relating to God’s people are types and
ensamples (examples) of the latter day events according to
prophecy. The Book of Revelation points us back to the old
testament scriptures which are to be fulfilled in the latter days
(our day). All the prophecies which are written in the Word of
God concern the Messiah (Lamb; Michael) and the Chosen
Vessel (Gabriel). The Spirit of Prophecy, states that the volume
(all) of the book (scriptures) is written of the Messiah, see Ps.40:7.
