The Hebraic Book of Revelation – Part 21

Rev 21:1 And I saw a renewed heavens and a renewed earth:for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away; and there was no more sea. 2 And I Yochanan saw the holy city, the renewed Yahrushalayim, coming down from vuvh out of the shamayim, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

Rev 21 is Shemini Atzeret/The Eighth Day — After the Millennium, the wicked will be thrown into the lake of fire (Rev 20:11–15), the old earth and heavens will be burned with fire and the New Jerusalem will take its place in the new heavens and new earth.

Matt 12:29 how can one enter into a strong mans house and spoil his goods, unless first he binds the strong man, and then he will plunder his house.

Well that just happened in Ch. 20 so now יהוה takes back the Kingdom as it’s government sits firmly upon Yahusha’s shoulders. History summed up in 8 – meaning renewal – a new heavens and earth. 8 points. 

1. The Kingdom was given to Adam to steward
2. He lost it
3. Satan gained it
4. Satan offered it to Yahusha for a price. Matt 4.
5. Yahusha rejected the deal with the devil. 
6. Yahusha redeemed it by His ultimate price. 
7. Satan/the Strongman is bound
8. The Kingdom comes. 

The promises made to overcomes are now fulfilled – SIX things: 

1. The holy city of Jerusalem, communion with יהוה expressed thought the eschatological climax of marriage. 
2. The dwelling of יהוה which includes the tabernacle and true temple.
3. The end of suffering and death.
4. New deeds of salvation and trustworthiness of YAH’s faithful word. 
5. Living water which means becoming a son and daughter of YAH.
6. A final warning to the faithless and judgment. 

Ps. 102:25 All of this was propertied in the Tanakh: Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands. They shall perish [or vanish, be destroyed], but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change [or pass on, pass away, come on anew] them, and they shall be changed.

Isa 51: 6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish [or tear away, to be washed in salt] away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner [i.e. the wicked shall be burned up]: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished [i.e. the righteous shall have eternal life].

Mal 4:3 And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day of יהוה . 

The writer of the book of Hebrews new of it: Heb 1:10.

21:3 And I heard a great voice out of the shamayim saying, See, the tabernacle of vuvh is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people and vuvh Himself shall be with them, and be their tvkt. 4 And vuvh shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things have passed away.

This isn’t a totally new heaven and earth with no connection with the old. It’s a renewed heaven and earth: 

Isa 65:17: For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind. 18 But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy.

Rom 8:21:Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of Elohim.22  For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.

Luke 9. The transfiguration of Yahusha not only prefigured saved humanities transfiguration but it prefigured the heaven and the earths transfiguration too.  

A transfiguration of the old world comes into view, much like the way in which our new bodies will be transfigurations of the old.

1 Cor. 15:35 But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come? 36  Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:37  And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain: 38  But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body. 39  All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds. 40  There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. 41 There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.

• Ps 40:6/Heb 10:5 יהוה prepared a body – יהוה resides in heaven; thus in heaven is where He prepared a body – ALL BODIES ARE PREPARED IN HEAVEN – THUS HEAVENLY BODIES – the tabernacle, Jerusalem, the Temple – all of this was revealed to Moshe on the Mountain. You and I are attaining it today: Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not; but a body hast thou prepared me:

Col 1:15 Yeshua is the image of the invisible Elohim, the Bachor of all creation.  

Phil 3:21 our lowly body will be transformed into His glorious body.

2 Cor 5:2, we’re to desire to be clothed in our habitation from heaven which is a body made in heaven, the city made in heaven and the government that sits on heavenly shoulders. 

Eph. 3:8 this is the unsearchable riches of Yahusha Paul was proclaiming amongst the nations.

1 Cor 15:45 And so it is written, ‘The first man Adam became a living being’, the last Adam became a life giving ruach. However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural, and afterward the spiritual. The first man was of the earth, made of dust, the second Man is the Master from heaven…As is the earthy, so also are those that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, so also are those that are heavenly. 49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy one, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly One. 50 Now this I say, Yisraelite brothers, that flesh and dahm cannot inherit the malchut of vuvh; 5 neither does corruption inherit incorruption. 51 Behold, I show you a sod mystery.

Rev 21:5 And He that sat upon the throne said, See, I make all things renewed.

7 And He said to me, Write: for these words are emet and faithful.6 And He said to me, Kala. I am Aleph and Taf, the Beginning and the End. I will give to him that is thirsty of the fountain of the water of life freely. 7 He that overcomes shall inherit all things; and I will be his Elohim, and he shall be My son.

Not enough of you are standing up and speaking up! 

Remember the poem from the German Lutheran pastor reflecting back on WW2,  about the cowardice of German intellectuals and clergy?

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—

     Because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—

     Because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—

     Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

We must speak out! Paul did. We must use the Federal Law and Constitution – not for us…for them…

We’ve been give the keys to the kingdom of heaven – use them. Because they loose and bind. Open and Close down here too don’t scoff at using those keys. Learn the keys!

Matt 16: 19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

Paul knew how to use them: 

Matt 10:17 But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues; 18 And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles. 19 But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak. 20 For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you. 21 And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death. 22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.

Remember the key. Acts 22:24 The chief captain commanded Paul to be brought into the castle, and bade that he should be examined by scourging; that he might know wherefore they cried so against him. 25 And as they bound him with thongs, Paul said unto the centurion that stood by, Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman, and uncondemned? 26 When the centurion heard that, he went and told the chief captain, saying, Take heed what thou doest: for this man is a Roman. 27 Then the chief captain came, and said unto him, Tell me, art thou a Roman? He said, Yea. 28 And the chief captain answered, With a great sum obtained I this freedom. And Paul said, But I was free born. 29 Then straightway they departed from him which should have examined him: and the chief captain also was afraid, after he knew that he was a Roman, and because he had bound him. 30 On the morrow, because he would have known the certainty wherefore he was accused of the Jews, he loosed him from his bands.

By using this process of navigation Paul operated powerfully between the heavenly and earthly kingdom. 

A ship of fools:

21:8 But the fearful and unbelieving and the abominable and murderers and those who whore and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone: this is the second death.

It’s time to shake of this Corona viper and kill it because we are the children of Yah and we are not citizens of this world. 

9 And there came to me one of the seven heavenly malachim who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues and talked with me, saying, Come here, I will show you the bride, Yisrael, the Lamb’s wife. 10 And he carried me away in the Ruach to a great high mountain, and showed me that great city, the kadosh Yahrushalayim, descending out of the shamayim from vuvh,

11 Having the glory of יהוה : and its light was like a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal; 12 And it had a great high wall, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve heavenly angels, and names written on the gates, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Yisrael.

13 On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates. 14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.9 15 And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and its gates, and its walls.

16 And the city lies foursquare and the length is as large as the width: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal. 17 And he measured its wall, one hundred forty four cubits, according to the measure of the man, that is, of the heavenly malach.

This is where we all unite triumphant to worship: 

Remember a key represents:

1. access
2. the power to lock and unlock – to loose and to bind
3. authority
4. a seal of approval
5. blessing
6. dominion
7. stewardship 
8. jurisdiction
9. freedom

Heb. 12:22 But ye are come unto mount Zion, and unto the city of the living YAH, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, 23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to יהוה the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect 24 And to Yahusha the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.

The city and the country: Heb. 11:10 For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is יהוה . 

11:16 But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore יהוה is not ashamed to be called their Elohim: for he hath prepared for them a city.

21:18 And the building of its wall was jasper: and the city was pure gold, like clear glass.19 And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, agate; the fourth, emerald; 20 The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, ruby; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprase; the eleventh, yacinth; the twelfth, amethyst. 

21 And the twelve gates were twelve crystals; every gate was one crystal: 2 3 and the streets of the city were pure gold, as if it were transparent glass. 22 And I saw no temple in it: for the Master vuvh El-Shaddai and the Lamb are the tabernacle of it. 

The city is patterned four square after the 12 stones on Melchizedek’s breastplate as Aaron’s breastplate had no pearls!  

21:23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of vuvh did brighten it, and the Lamb is the Light of it. 24 And the nations of those that are saved shall walk in the Light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honor into it. 25 And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there. 26 And they shall bring the glory and honor of the nations into it. 27 And there shall by no means enter into it anyone that is unclean, or whoever works abomination, 4 and or makes up lies.

The final judgment has two sides:

1. A negative side: the judgment of the wicked expressed. 
2. A positive side: the Book of Life. 

This is unique in that these final verses of Ch. 21 are symmetric scenes depicting judgment both negatively and positively. 

but only those who are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.
