The Songs of Moses and the Lamb
The ‘seven plagues’ fall upon those who have taken the ‘mark of the beast;’ upon those who have bowed to another gospel, or have been ‘purchased’ by another salvation. As Revelation leads into the plagues, we hear the songs of Moses and the Lamb; sung to those who have not taken the ‘mark of the beast,’ or bowed in worship to it.
Therefore to understand the mark of the beast, and the seven plagues which follow, we must understand the ‘lawgiver’ songs.
God’s Purpose in the Plagues
The plagues cleanse the ‘Tabernacle of God’ in heaven. In Moses time, this was seen as a ‘tabernacle of witness’ on the earth. This ‘Tabernacle of God,’ is the ‘Testimony of Jesus Christ,’ in us. The plagues sever the just from the unjust, and the love of Jesus truth, from the traditions, creeds and gospels of men.
As the plagues called Israel out of Egypt, so these plagues, call us out of religious confusion…
The 1st Plague
The first plague falls upon those who have taken the mark of the beast, and who worship his image. The ‘image of the beast,’ is one of the many perverted versions of Jesus true gospel. And the ‘mark of the beast,’ sits upon those who believe, and worship God, according to that error.
The Mark of the Beast emerges from within our churches,… not without.
The 2nd Plague
The Beast rising from the sea in Revelation is the corrupted gospel of Jesus Christ in the nations. The second plague falls upon the sea, and these waters become as the blood of a dead man, and every living soul dies in the sea. Why? Because Jesus testimony altered, renders his salvation void. And the gospels touched by men… have no life in them and cannot save our souls.
The sea turning to blood is a sign our corrupted gospels cannot save our souls…
The 3rd Plague
As the ‘sea’ speaks of Jesus Testimony perverted in the nations, so the ‘rivers and fountains,’ speak of Jesus witness in his prophets and saints. These waters turning to blood is a sign their witness has been put to death in our many congregations. That we drink the blood of their testaments, judges and testifies against us.
These waters turning to blood is a sign Jesus testimony has been put to death…
The 4th Plague
Moses said, God’s wrath would smoke against those who blessed themselves in the imaginations of their hearts, and in this plague we see men scorched with the plagues of God’s wrath against those who have changed Jesus tenants of salvation and blasphemed Jesus name.
The curses bound in the Gospel and the Law are poured upon those who render the power and authority of Jesus name… void.
The 5th Plague
The ‘seat of the beast,’ is the ‘judgement seat of men,’ ordained in the Law. This plague declares the condition of God’s Law in men’s hearts and minds. Good statutes that once underpinned good lives and communities, have bred worms and from their tenants cast to the ground have come the cursing, violence, and lewdness, that now overflow our nations.
Darkness and blasphemy fill the hearts and minds of those who reject God’s Law…
The 6th Plague
[Part-1] The drying up of the Euphrates is the testimony of Jesus Christ drying up in our religious assemblies. The mention of the ‘Kings of the East,’ is a reference to the coming restoration of JESUS testimony in those who repent in these plagues of their error.
In the ‘Kings of the East,’ we hear of Jesus Testimony bound in the Israel of God…
[Part-2] In Revelation; the Dragon, the Beast and the False Prophet, are Jesus faith and law, corrupted by men. The spirits of devils working miracles we see come out of the mouths of these beasts, are the purging of those lying spirits from Jesus Testimony… in those who repent of their blasphemy and sin.
The purging of idolatry and unbelief from Jesus testimony
[Part-3] Jesus, unobserved, has come like a thief. Even when we added to, and stole from his Word, the spirits of devils bound in His Word, deceived us. And their strong delusion took from us Jesus grace and truth…
For our deceit, Jesus fed us strong delusion, and took back his grace and truth from us…
[Part-4] For those of us who have not repented, of the blasphemy of Jesus name, or the rejection of Jesus Testimony, a final reckoning. Megiddo is where Josiah fell, and ‘Armageddon’ is where the last remnant of the hope spoken of in Jesus Gospel to mankind, shall cease to exist.
If you have not yet repented, then repent…
The 7th Plague
If the LORD JESUS has brought you to this place, then He has cleansed His Faith and Commandments, in you. Jesus promised to comfort us, and to dwell in us. The ‘feast of tabernacles,’ remembers an Israel who not only fell in Moses time through unbelief; but of an Israel born into the bondage of men’s gospels in the nations.
In the seven plagues, the Spirit of Jesus Christ seeks to dwell in you, and you in him. Do not be afraid.
It is done! …the seven plagues; Jesus feast of tabernacles
The Harvest of Ingathering
Seen in the Book of Revelation as the multitudes out of all nations – with ‘palms’ in their hands and washed by the blood of the Lamb. In line with God’s Ordinances, this feast unfolds in three parts.
- (1) On the first day of the seventh month, the Blowing of Trumpets. (In the Book of Revelation: The Seven Trumpets)
- (2) On the tenth day: the Sabbath Feast of Affliction and Atonement. A time of repentance and believing Jesus Christ, is both LORD and Christ. (In the Book of Revelation, the Song of Moses -Affliction: The Song of the Lamb – Salvation)
- (3) On the fifteenth day: the ‘Feast of Tabernacles’ over a period of seven days. A feast that remembers Israel’s wandering in the wilderness caused by their idolatry and unbelief. A feast, in which they pull down the branches of palm trees and make ‘booths’ to dwell in. (In the Book of Revelation as the cleansing of the Tabernacle in Heaven, in the season of God’s seven plagues in us, when God’s Word in us, is purged and purified.)
It is done. Released from bondage, please return to the truth and worship the Almighty in Spirit and in Truth.
All Glory to the LORD JESUS Christ…
