Summary: Beast of the Sea
As previosuly shared, the Beast of the Sea is the Gospel of JESUS Christ defiled. Desecrated by religious assemblies who have torn out the LORD’S Testimony sealed in the first three commandments and replaced it with creeds, like the trinity; little horn doctrines which blaspheme Gods Name and Tabernacle.
And they worshipped the Dragon which gave power to the Beast: and they worshipped the Beast, saying; who is like the Beast? Who is able to make war with him? And there was given to him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
The Beast is the perverted Gospel of JESUS taught in our Churches. Our creeds are the seeds of this perversion; the Beast is the gospels we teach, the leprous hand. Doctrines, which mark us, just as ¹God’s Commandments mark Israel, the clean hand; the pure Gospel, which clothes the Bride and reaches for the promises, when our gospels reach for the Law. As an example; we glory in the Sabbath of the flesh on a day set apart each week, yet reject, JESUS is the Sabbath ordained in those who believe He is the Christ. (¹Deut 6:4-8)
.
Three Parts – Yea Four
.
The ‘forty-two’ months, appointed to the Covenant of JESUS Gospel in the nations, mirrors the ‘forty-two’ generations allotted to the Covenant of the Law in Israel’s time. JESUS was born on this wise: The book of the generation of JESUS Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham… So all the generations from Abraham to David are ¹fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are ²fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are ³fourteen generations. (Matthew 1:1-17)
JESUS the Messiah came in the fourth period of Israel’s generations, as promised to Abraham: the Anointed One, Isaiah called the Promised Son, the Everlasting Father, and the Mighty God. (Isaiah 9:6) By this time the essence of the Covenant given to the Patriarchs, and the Law handed to Israel, were void in men. The Gospel ¹JESUS lived, promised forgiveness of sin and the salvation of our souls in His name.
The ¹EXISTING ONE’S SALVATION said to the people, “before Abraham was I AM,” and told the dead Pharisees, “Moses wrote of me.” So the dead demanded he die, and cut off the Messiah as foretold by Daniel. Yet JESUS Gospel annulled death, and He rose again.
After His ascension, on the day of Pentecost, JESUS returned in the Spirit, and began to call those who believe He is both LORD and Christ. And to those who repent and are baptised into His name, JESUS seals with His Holy Spirit: the Comforter. (John 14:16-20) It is then the ¹EXISTING ONE, who first wrote His ‘Earthly Law’ on the tablets of stone, becomes in us the ¹EXISTING ONES SALVATION. For JESUS has always purposed to dwell in us, to inscribe in our hearts and minds a Law circumcised of sin.
.
But this shall be the Covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; after those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more. (Jeremiah 31:31-34)
Examine yourselves, whether you be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know you not yourselves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except you be reprobates? (2 Cor 13:5)
.
This is the true essence of the promises sworn to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. The Spirit of the Promised Son in those who like Abraham, believe and prevail. And yet, having given Isaac breath, God then tried Abraham’s faith once more, and commanded he put the child to death. Consider for one moment the tribulation of mind and heart Abraham somehow endured, and as he lifted the knife to put Isaac to death, God’s Oath in him became perfect. For in his darkest hour, Abraham trusted that even death could not annul God’s promise, and that God Almighty was the God of the living. And this God confirmed.
But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have you not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying; I AM the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living. (Matthew 22:32)
.
The LORD swore to Abraham; his seed would come out of their times of bondage and affliction with great substance. This substance does not abide in the godless prosperity gospels we teach, but in the fruits of JESUS Spirit in us. The affliction in this Covenant is the wisdom of God in motion. Yet the religious sects teach we will be taken before the great tribulation, and so oppose God’s Oath to Abraham, and reject the teachings of those like Peter who confirmed, the trial of our faith is more precious than gold. Worse still, we are taught the tribulation is for the ungodly sinners next door; we have forgotten that the essence of God’s Covenant with Abraham, is to perfect our faith that JESUS abides in us, as He was in Abraham.
Now concerning His Kingdom, the LORD God Almighty told us there would come many false Christs. The Apostle John also declared that many antichrists had gone out from the Church in Jerusalem. John further identified the antichrist, as the spirit in those who denied, JESUS is both the Father and Son. (1John 2:18-22) We also reject JESUS testimony, He is the Holy Spirit, the Comforter; the Spirit of Truth, the Counsellor. (John 14:16-18 + Isaiah 9:6)
Our creeds descend from this spirit and its blasphemy. This spirit gives birth to the creeds, which define our faith and mark our souls. Church gospels, which in the forty-two months appointed the nations, have blasphemed JESUS name and His Tabernacle of Testimony; and this Tabernacle is Christ. Yet, in our gospels we hear the voice of the little horn…
.
And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his Name, and his Tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. (Revelation 13:4-8)
.
Moses Tabernacle
The Tabernacle of Witness was an image of the true Tabernacle in Heaven. Its ³Outer Court, where beasts were washed and slain, foreshadow our baptism into JESUS death. In its ²Sanctuary the shew-bread and the Menorah’s seven heads, which speak of JESUS Gospel in the nations and his times of release. And in the ¹Holy Place, the Ark of the Covenant and within it: the Ten Commandments, the Manna from heaven, and the Rod of Aaron. In these three we see the dispensations of the Messiah that the Christ is: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Also in this Ark, a 4th part: Moses Song of blessing and cursing, which testifies against us. In the 4th stage of God’s sevenfold vengeance bound in the Law, Moses’ song remembers JESUS Covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. (Leviticus 26) The Ten Commandments align to the three parts of ‘Moses’ Tabernacle. The first ¹three, like the Holy Place, testify of the LORD. The ²fourth, like the Sanctuary, declares JESUS’ Sabbath, and the last ³six express how men should love one another. But the testimony of the Law is not complete, just as the ten horns of the Beast of the Sea fall short of the promises that crown the Bride in Revelation.
.
Christ’s Tabernacle
In Revelation; the Bride’s three parts depicted as the moon, the sun and the twelve stars, are the three Covenants of the Christ; the LORD’S Law, JESUS Gospel, and Christ’s Promised Spirit. Each Covenant surpasses the other in glory, and so, we who believe, journey from the carnal image of the law to a new creature created in the very image of God. The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven… And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. (1 Cor 15:42-58) These three Covenants are JESUS Tabernacle of witness to men, and they, each in-turn in greater degree, circumcise the flesh from the Spirit and refine JESUS Faith in us.
As I shared, these defiled Covenant’s are the Dragon, the Beast of the Sea, and the Beast of the Earth. In their testaments we see the bondage of the Pharisee’s Law, the tribulation of our Church gospels, and the captivity of the antichrist. In them we find the cause of the affliction and tribulation bound in the Covenant of Circumcision sworn to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. This tribulation, like the mark of the beast, is not something yet to come, but something already here in our very midst. We need to wake up to the sins, that cover our churches as the waters of Noah. We hear it in the messages to the Seven Church Angels. (Rev 2:9-10 + Rev 2:2–23)
Again; at the end of Israel’s forty two generations came the MESSIAH. In the forty-two months allotted the nations JESUS foretold…
For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened. Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. (Matthew 24:21-24)
.
The Beast of the Earth
As the Dragon is the Covenant of the Law, and the Beast of the Sea is the Covenant of JESUS Gospel; the Beast of the Earth is also a Covenant. A covenant is something that joins us together that binds us; a contract. As the Dragon is the Covenant of the Law cast down to earth, so the Beast rising from the earth, is a covenant born of the Law. But this Beast, this Covenant, is not between God and man; but between men, and men. This is confirmed in Scripture, as the number of the Beast is the number of man: 666. It is an earthly doctrine, just as man was created from the earth. (Revelation 13:18)
In the Book of Revelation, the Beast of the Sea and the Beast of the Earth are separated by this warning: If any man have an ear, let him hear. He that leads into captivity shall go into captivity: he that kills with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. (Revelation 13:9-10)
.
The Spirit of JESUS warns us the Beast of the Earth will bind us, lead us into captivity, judge, condemn, and kill. In other words, the doctrines of our churches and men will bind and lead us into captivity. Dogma we use to judge and condemn one another. Importantly, we talk about the False Prophet and Antichrist, but not the Beast of the Earth and this is where we are confused. To know this Beast is the doctrines of men is to understand how we are led into captivity. As Moses declared, the Commandments of God mark God’s Israel, so the commandments and church laws of men are the ‘mark of the beast.’
So, the Dragon is the accusation bound in the Law cast down to earth. The Beast of the Sea, raised in the nations is the perverted Gospel of JESUS Christ. However, the Beast rising from the Earth goes one step further; this doctrine is another salvation: another gospel. Those who teach these things are the antichrists. And so we replace JESUS as God and Saviour with our own creeds.
.
And I beheld another Beast coming up out of the Earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke as a dragon. And he exercises all the power of the first Beast before him, and causes the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. (Revelation 13:11-12)
- This Beast looks like a lamb, but speaks as a Dragon. This Beast, this covenant, masquerades as JESUS Gospel, but its root is in the Law. It is a wolf in sheep’s clothing and will bind, accuse and condemn. Like those ‘Christians’ in the Apostle’s Church in Jerusalem who sought to circumcise the ‘Gentiles’ who entered into the faith. The ones that even the Apostle Peter sided with, but Paul rebuked. Why, because Paul preached the circumcision of faith that surpassed that of the flesh, and warned returning to the law would render Christ’s circumcision void. Yet ‘circumcision of the foreskin’ has now filled all of Christendom.
- This Beast has two horns like a lamb. JESUS appears in Revelation, as a Lamb with seven horns, which declare the times of His Salvation. However the two horns of this beast are the same horns of the Law referred to in prophesy made over Ephraim. His glory is like the firstling of his bullock, and his horns are like the horns of unicorns: with them he shall push the people together to the ends of the earth: (Duet 33:17)
- The Beast of the Earth exercises the power of the Beast of the Sea before it. That is; its power resides in the perverted gospels of JESUS Christ, which in turn bow to and derive their power from the Dragon; from the Law. (Revelation 13:1-4) The doctrines of men’s salvation are forged from a mix of the law and our errant gospels.
.
The Bulls of Ephraim
In the times of Israel, when the House of Israel broke away from the House of Judah, the king set up two golden bulls in Ephraim and Dan. Their intention was to establish a place of worship in the borders of the northern Tribes, to prevent Israel returning to Jerusalem join with Judah for worship. So, the LORD sent a Prophet to condemn their idolatry, but when their king Jeroboam put his hand upon the Prophet to prevent him prophesying, his hand withered and dried. When Jeroboam begged the prophet, the LORD restore his hand, the kings hand was healed. Yet this idolatry remained, and the LORD allowed its sin to flourish and devour His Oath with Israel; so that only He could save them in His season.
In Revelation, while the wounded head of the Beast of the Sea is ‘healed’ its sin remains until this day. Its wound is incurable and a cancer in those who have bowed to the altered gospels in our churches. Those saints in our churches, who love the Lord, have been overcome by the transgression at the heart of our creeds. This is the first part of the abomination of desolation seen by Daniel when he foresaw the Messiah cut off. This relates not only to Christ’s crucifixion, but to his testimony cut off in our churches in the forty two months allocated to the nations. It is seen in the putting to death of the two witnesses in Revelation, witnesses that sound every time we read God’s Word in our congregations.
.
The Abomination of Desolation
Next, Daniel saw the Messiah’s sacrifice replaced. This is the sin of the Beast of the Earth; its doctrines are the abomination in our churches that have brought great desolation. In these things we grievously wound Christ. The Beast is those doctrines, which add to, or replace, Christ’s Salvation with another. Like Cain, whose earthly gifts when rejected, chose to kill his brother and establish his own way. The many antichrists and false prophets are those that teach and preach those doctrines. Watch now!
(The Beast of the Earth) deceives them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the Beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the Beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. (Beast of the Sea) And he had power to give life unto the image of the Beast that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. (Revelation 13: 14-15)
.
The two things to consider carefully are:
- The Image of the Beast of the Sea is an image the law mixed with the defiled gospels in our churches; Looks like a lamb but speaks as a dragon. This image is an errant doctrine of salvation, built upon mistaken creed that worships according to the law. This image is the mark of the Beast. Christ’s Covenants left untouched, and in their correct order, takes us from the earthly man to the spiritual man in Christ. But these take the earthly man into perdition.
- The Beast of the Earth has power to give life to the image of the Beast. It is not the everlasting life that abides in JESUS Christ, but the ‘life’ promised in the Law as long as we keep it. To be clear, this life rests in continually keeping the law and therein lays the deceit of the antichrist. When Eve ate of its fruit, she exchanged eternal life for life that rested in her works. That is why those who bow to works have no rest day or night, as they abide in a law that must be kept continually. Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the Commandments of God, and the Faith of Jesus. (Rev 14:12)
.
Let’s look at a few examples. Their common thread is that salvation rests in the ‘laws’ of the church.
Seventh Day Adventists declare Saturday is the true Sabbath; that to worship on Sunday or another day is the mark of the beast. This denomination’s doctrine rests in keeping the Old Testament Sabbath mixed with JESUS Gospel. Keeping the Sabbath on a Saturday is fine, but to condemn those who do not goes one step further, and makes us judges in the law. That is, we become as gods to judge the law. (John 10:34-35) This doctrine leads their congregations into captivity and condemns those who do not keep it. Yet to believe JESUS is both LORD and Christ is to enter into His Sabbath. Indeed He is the Sabbath; the LORD of the Sabbath.
Mormons believe that drinking coffee defiles the body, and so places their salvation in doubt. Their righteousness rests in meat and drink and keeping similar tenants, which abide in the Law; things seen in most religious faiths. However JESUS tells us that it is not what goes into our mouth that defiles us, but what comes out of our mouths; as from the heart proceeds adultery and murders and the like. Nor does our salvation rest in meats and drink but through faith and obedience in JESUS Christ. The Apostle Paul warned of the doctrines of devils that would command us to abstain from such things. (1 Timothy 4:1-4)
Jehovah’s Witnesses believe their spiritual life is in their blood, and so refuse transfusions. Their belief rests in the Old Testament tenant that says, “The life is in the blood.” Now our blood is the life of our flesh but remission of sin is only found in Christ’s blood. Their doctrine, annuls the blood of JESUS sacrifice, and further replaces the blood of JESUS salvation with their own blood. In this and other things they cast down the LORD JESUS.
.
The Son of Perdition
There is a fundamental difference between the Beast of the Sea, (JESUS Gospel defiled) and the Beast of the Earth. (Church Salvation) The disparity is the step between error and perdition. When Jacob led his children into Egypt, he was blind to the bondage that would follow, yet Israel’s banishment to Assyria and Babylon was the direct result of disobedience and idolatry. When false prophets say we must keep their doctrines to live, and that we must bow down to their doctrines to be saved, is idolatry plain and simple.
Further, that we must take the mark of their dogma so that we might ‘buy and sell.’ To buy is to redeem, and to sell is to exchange; and this refers to the redemption promised in the carnal salvations taught in our congregations. The merchandise brought and sold in Babylon relates directly to those things sacrificed and offered under the Covenant of death; in other words the Law. (Revelation 18)
.
The Mother of Harlots
These false salvations lead us into Babylon’s captivity and not Christ’s promises. In the Beast of the Sea, I shared how the four parts in Revelation aligned to the four generations and times of affliction and tribulation Abraham’s seed would endure, in the forty-two months allotted the nations. These being:
- The Church Angel Messengers
- The Seven Seals
- The Seven Trumpets
- The Seven Plagues
Remember, in the 4th generation, the LORD promised Abraham he would deliver His seed from bondage. In the Old Testament, we saw how the LORD plagued Egypt and called his people out in the 4th generation of their affliction. In the Plagues of Revelation, in the 4th part, JESUS seeks to purge the churches in the nations from the captivity of Babylon’s idolatry. Not one of us is exempt, as the LORD’S Oath to Abraham binds us all. His seed in the multitude of nations and the line of kings, will all pass through great tribulation. It is God’s perfect will and is heard in Isaiah’s voice…
Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction. For mine own sake, even for mine own sake, will I do it: for how should my name be polluted? And I will not give my glory unto another. (Isaiah 48:10-11)
.
God’s purpose in the plagues is to purge the blaspheming of his name and tabernacle from our lips, hearts and minds. He desires we are without spot and blameless before him. JESUS is the Name of the LORD; the EXISTING ONE who spoke to Moses. JESUS; in the Covenants of His Christ, is the Father, the Promised Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three Covenants are the Tabernacle of Christ’s witness to men. Therefore; JESUS is both LORD and Christ.
By the end of the seven plagues we have either repented of our blasphemy and error, or have gone into perdition. At the end of these plagues in Revelation, Babylon is greatly shaken and divides into three parts, and these are the Covenants of the Dragon, the Beast of the Sea, and the Beast of the Earth. These three shadow the dispensations of the Law, the Gospel, and the Spirit. But when we gaze upon them we see their deceit leads us to utter ruin. They are all of them Babylon, and Babylon is the anti-Christ. JESUS now calls to us: Come out of her my people…
So, we have returned to the beginning, when our brother Abraham in Genesis was shown three beasts divided in their midst, as well as a Dove and a Pigeon left whole, and a burning lamp and smoking furnace that passed through their midst. Its sign, as laid down in Revelation, is a beacon of remembrance to the fallen and free seeds of Abraham. That we might each and everyone as brothers and sisters, understand the tribulation of the LORD’S Oath stems from the sin at the heart of our errant beliefs: that the Oath of Affliction is about the perfection of JESUS Faith in His Saints.
.
God’s True Israel; the LORD JESUS Christ is One LORD!
.
Babylon’s deceit has overshadowed the world. Judaism, Islam and Christianity are all in great affliction and tribulation. Everything is now a forgery: false teachers, false-Christs, false religions and a false Israel. Nothing is clean, but the LORD established his sign to the nations that we all might see and remember the beacon in His Word; His Oath sworn to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Although you may have taken the beasts mark and suffer its affliction, if you repent, JESUS Truth will wash your robes white in the blood of the Lamb, and restore His Life in you. Come out of her my people…
For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; He has established it, He created it not in vain, He formed it to be inhabited: I AM the LORD; and there is none else. (Isaiah 45:18)
.
JESUS Tabernacle
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a Bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, The Tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. (Revelation 21:1-3)
.
In Revelation, we see New Jerusalem; (the Bride) the Tabernacle of God. This Tabernacle is the Covenants of Christ circumcised in our hearts and minds, and become Spirit. It is our LORD JESUS joined with those who have believed the voices and testimony of His Christ. JESUS has now drawn his Church to himself.
The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
