THE GOLDEN EMPLACEMENT

Chapter four of Revelation deals with descriptions pertaining to God's throne in its spiritual emplacement, in paradise. It is also telling us that there are many spiritual entities who are allowed to be very closely by. It is very probable that the mentioned location is one of the seven heavens that is mentioned in various scriptural writings, including the Koran.

The Apostle John is taken to the spiritual world in his spirit form, often referred to in many spiritual circles as the astral body. He sees for himself what really takes place in that spiritual realm which could possibly be the highest of all the existing spiritual worlds. It is the ultimate emplacement where God's spiritual companions are allowed to dwell, clothed with their spiritual attire.

As you begin to study this chapter very closely, you will soon realize that the given descriptions are very strange indeed. However, it is one of the most interesting chapters of Revelation. We are all quite capable of unsealing it, if we truly search for the answers. If we study it slowly, and if we also meditate deeply on its content, we will realize that it is possible to discover some greater truth pertaining to that extremely hard to describe spiritual emplacement.

Wonderful explanations of the contents of this chapter are possible if we ask God to help us to understand the strange allegorical descriptions.

After this I looked, and there before my eyes was a door opened in heaven; and the voice that I had heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, "Come up here, and I will show you what must happen hereafter." At once I was caught up by the Spirit. There in heaven stood a throne, and on the throne sat one whose appearance was like the gleam of jasper and cornelian; and round the throne was a rainbow, bright as an emerald. Revelation 4 : 1 to 4 : 3

John was taken to the spiritual world in his spirit form where he was allowed to see many events that would shortly happen on earth. He saw a Great Spirit sitting on God's heavenly throne and around it was a bright green rainbow which was as bright as an emerald and which could represent God's covenant with mankind.

The proof of the existence of that covenant comes from the writings contained in Genesis. If we study that verse very carefully, we will notice that it is a promise made by God to the people of the earth. He is the only one who can break the promise of His covenant. As we already know, God never breaks any of His promises because He always stands by them.

My bow I set in the cloud, sign of the covenant between myself and earth. When I cloud the sky over the earth, the bow shall be seen in the cloud. Genesis 9 : 13-14

The bow that God is referring us to is most probably a rainbow that is often seen in the sky after a rain.

What is a covenant? The dictionary gives us the following definition pertaining to that subject :

...an agreement, a bargain... an agreement between God and His chosen people.

Certain people believe that God's covenant can be broken by the people of the earth. How can anyone believe in such a wrong fashion? God always keeps His promises and there is no way that anyone can possibly break any of the promises that He has made, His Covenant. That particular saying, believing that God's covenant can be broken, was begun by a certain individual who held the reins of religious power and who wrongly utilized it. That saying, that God's covenant can be broken by man, is now believed by many people all around the world. They only believe what they have being told by that certain individual who obviously had an ego problem. Many people falsely utilize that saying without doing any thinking for themselves. They are utilizing it to get rid of people they dislike, searchers of the truth, or those who do not believe in God and in His envoys the same way as they do. Some people are very gullible and will believe almost anything without taking the time to investigate for the truth. Religion does not stay pure for very long, does it? One great intellectual comes along and makes false statements. They all believe what he says without taking the time to reflect on those sayings or to properly investigate what he said. They believe him to be infallible. Thus one religion after another falls into the same trap, believing in falsities.

Revelation is about to reveal to us that there are other great spiritual entities all dressed in the purest white and who are also sitting on thrones of their own in that heavenly realm. They are labelled as Elders in the writings of Revelation. We are told that they wear golden spiritual crowns, meaning that they are spiritual kings because the colour white, which they are robed with, is the colour of great spirituality.

In a circle about this throne were twenty-four other thrones, and on them sat twenty-four elders, robed in white and wearing crowns of gold. Revelation 4 : 4

We have just discovered that there are twenty four other thrones, surrounding the central throne in Paradise and on which sits 24 chosen ones. They are great spiritual entities who are called Elders. John says that their Spirit essence are covered in white robes, which is the sign of their great spirituality. He also says that they are wearing golden crowns on their heads, which is a sign of their great spiritual achievements. Their stations are equivalent to spiritual kings which is symbolically represented by their wearing golden crowns.

THE NUMBER TWELVE

In the time of Moses there were twelve chiefs of tribes. In the time of Christ there were twelve Apostles. The Moslem religion had twelve Imams who came to the earth at different times in history. In this new Revelation from God, which is more potent than all previous revelations, there were twenty four holy ones, referred to as Elders. They sit on thrones of their own very close to God's throne in that heavenly realm, in Paradise.

For those of us who have done some research, we have discovered that 19 of those elders came to us in the last century but we never knew about the other five. One of those 19 elders, who also had a throne in paradise, was a woman whose name is Tahiri. It is strongly suspected that she was the "Return" of the spirit essence of the Apostle Mary of Magdala who was present at the last supper of Jesus Christ. It is the first time in the history of mankind on this planet for such an happening. In this new Revelation from God, His new Messenger has told us that we would eventually know who are the other five missing elders. We are now beginning to realize that they would probably come to this world one at the time at various historical times, similar to the way that the 12 Imams of the Moslem religion came on the scene one at the time. Those elders will most probably not be recognized although their coming is to help us to understand greater truths and to achieve greater spirituality.

The remaining Elders will most probably be given opposition by those who should know better. They will be different than the people who are opposing them. Their way of thinking and their way of analysing things will be different than that of others who claim to be knowledgeable but only believe what they are told to believe. Those spiritual Elders will not necessarily be great intellectuals but rather great spiritualists who will not be afraid to tell those who are opposing them that what they are doing is spiritually wrong, especially those who continuously repeat hearsay which is often more lies than truths. The missing elders will have great knowledge of Scriptures within themselves because their spirits dwell close to God's throne in the heavenly Realm where they also have spiritual thrones of their own.

I have discovered a clue in Biblical writings that says : the spirits of eleven of the Apostles of Christ, with the exception of the apostle Judas, were eleven of those elders. That clue was given to us by God himself in the writings of Matthew in the new testament of the Bible. Here it is :

At this Peter said, "We have left everything to become your followers. What will there be for us?" Jesus replied, "I tell you this : in the world that is to be... you my followers will have thrones of your own"... Matthew 19 : 27-28

After the supposedly traitor, Judas, left at the beginning of the last supper, to take her rightful place was Mary of Magdala who became one of the twelve Apostles. In this new Revelation from God, she became one of the 24 Elders of Revelation. Her spirit, her rational soul, "returned" to this world at the beginning of this new Aquarius Revelation and animated a highly spiritual women from Persia whose name was Tahiri. She was eventually killed by the Persian state of her days, she was martyred. She now sits on her own throne in paradise as one of the 24 Elders of Revelation. The other twelve Elders are the 12 Imams of the Moslem religion. You have already being presented with the true story of Mary of Magdala and to the happenings at the last supper of Jesus Christ.

THE SEVEN FLAMING TORCHES - THE SEVEN SPIRITS OF GOD

The following prophecy is about to present us with other very meaningful symbolical sayings.

From the throne went out flashes of lightning and peals of thunder. Burning before the throne were seven flaming torches, the seven spirits of God, and in front of it stretched what seemed a sea of glass, like a sheet of ice. Revelation 4 : 5

We already discovered that the seven spirits of God are the spirits of the seven angelic entities who originated the seven major world religions. Those spiritual entities all came to this world to animate a new religion at different historical times. That fact was discovered in an earlier chapter.

The prophecy stated that, in front of the throne, the flooring was shining like polished ice. It looked like a well polished skating ring which had not being skated on yet. Whatever it was, it was very bright and very shiny. It represents the purity of that spiritual world, which our religious teachers often refer to as heaven and which is Paradise. It is possibly the highest dimensional realm that many spiritualists have mentioned in their own writings.

In the centre, round the throne itself, were four living creatures, covered with eyes, in front and behind. The first creature was like a lion, the second like an ox, the third had a human face, the fourth was like an eagle in flight. The four living creatures, each of them had six wings, had eyes all over, inside and out; and by day and by night without a pause they sang : Holy, holy, holy is God the sovereign Lord of all, who was, and is, and is to come.

As often as the living creatures give glory and honour and thanks to the One who sits on the throne, who lives forever and ever, the twenty four elders fall down before the One who sits on that throne and worship him who lives for ever and ever. As they lay their crowns before the throne they cry : You are worthy, O Lord our God, to receive glory and honour and power, because you did create all things ; by your will they were created, and have their being! Revelation 4 : 6 to 4 : 11


The four creatures of Revelation

In verses six and seven it is said, allegorically, that around the centre throne itself there were four living creatures covered with eyes in front and behind. That description does not mention them sitting on thrones because they represent four living human beings whose identity we shall discover later on during our study. The eyes behind, which the creatures had, may represent their knowledge of past events. Their knowledge of future events may be represented by the eyes in front of them.

The first creature, who looked like a lion, represents a spiritual King because a lion is always recognized, symbolically, as being the King of the forest. The second creature mentioned looked like an ox. It represents another great living person who, like an ox, would face many problems head on.

The third one who had a face like a human being represents someone who would have all the possible attributes, all the qualities of a living human being. He will be an extraordinary spiritual person. The eagle in flight represents the overlooking of humanity from great heights. This creature will be like a guardian protecting those under his wings, they will be under his care.

The four living creatures represent four different great spiritual persons who brought new principles - the new Jerusalem - to mankind in the form of a new religion, the city of God - that God wishes mankind to accept. The people of this world are badly in need of new spiritual principles. You will gain a greater understand of many of those sayings as we get closer and closer to the last chapter of Revelation.

In verse eight, it is said that the four living creatures had six wings. Six wings are three pairs of wings. As we already know, a right wing and a left wing does form one pair of wings. What this actually represents is that each of the four living creatures, who do not sit on thrones of their own, had three different positions in the world of man. Symbolically speaking, it can be said that they wore three hats. They gave mankind new teachings at the beginning of this new era in which we live in, the age of Aquarius. They will be mentioned again later on during our research. An attempt will be made to explain their various functions.

The writings of Revelation are telling us that, surrounding the throne, there were also 24 Elders who sat on thrones of their own. Those descriptions can most certainly lead our imaginations to go astray, can they not? We shall soon realize that there are many other great spiritual entities who are also surrounding the heavenly throne that is located in that hard to describe spiritual Realm.

The fourth chapter of Revelation has certainly been the most interesting, has it not? It has described to us all the spiritual entities who are allowed to be present around God's throne in the spiritual Realm. It has also told us that, in front of that throne, there were four living creatures representing four different human beings. Each one of them doing three different jobs or holding three different positions in the world of man.

The continuation, of the descriptions concerning the throne of God and of all those who are allowed to be around it, may be found further on in chapter seven.

A VAST CROWD IS STANDING BEFORE THE THRONE

The following prophecies are about to tell us that a great number of spiritual entities are also allowed to be close to God's throne in Paradise.

After this I looked and saw a vast throng, which no one could count, from every nation, of all tribes, peoples and languages, standing in front of the throne and before the Lamb. They were robed in white and had palms in their hands, and they shouted together: "Victory to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!"

And all the angels stood round the throne and the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshipped God, crying "Amen! Praise and glory and wisdom, thanksgiving and honour, power and might, be to our God for ever and ever! Amen." Revelation 7 : 9 to 7 : 12

The fact has already being mentioned that some chapters of Revelation do not follow one another, it would seem that some have been intermixed. Perhaps the reason was to make us better searchers of the truth.

It is interesting to note that around the throne could be found various types of angels, possibly Archangels, Cherubins, and Seraphims, etc.

Standing before the throne of God, and before the Lamb, are the Spirits of all of those who have died after having lived in our world, their spirits have been accepted into the spiritual realm. The shells, bodies, which their spirits were attached to were located on various parts of the planet. Those people belonged to various religions and they were of various races, they also spoke various languages, so says the writings of Revelation.

There is an existing sect of Christianity on this planet whose religious teachers say that people, whose skin pigmentation is black, cannot enter into the spiritual world. They even have the impertinence to say so on national television. Such fallacies and such outward lies. Revelation has just told us that those who have succeeded to enter into the spiritual realm belonged to various races and various religions when they lived on earth. The spiritual entities who dwell in the heavenly realm are diverse spiritual entities. That is the beauty of all of creation and of the spiritual realm, its diversity. What I have just mentioned is a proof that some religious teachers are not teaching the truth as it is defined in Scriptures, some of them are obviously guilty of bigotry and racism.

Two great Ones are highly honoured in that heavenly world, the Great Spirit who sits on the throne of God and the Lamb. Later on, in later chapters, I will divulge the identity of the Great Spirit but only when the time is right. To divulge it now would only confuse you more, perhaps even to the point of making you lose interest. Believe me and trust me, the time is not ripe to learn the name of the Holy Spirit who sits on the heavenly throne in paradise. When you do, you will be flabbergasted. There are a lot of other things that we have to learn first in order to comprehend the ending. You do not read a book by starting with the last page. Likewise, you must also start at the beginning with the unsealing of Revelation. Look at it as a mystery novel whereby some greater truths are discovered with the study and the comprehension of every chapter.

I am certain that you will agree with me when we get to unseal the last chapters of these allegorical writings which have been labelled revelation and which have, so far, been very enlightening. I am certain that they will continue to be even more so as we continue to peruse them ever more closely.

Then one of the elders turned to me and said, "These people that are robed in white -- who are they and from where do they come?" But I answered, "My Lord, you know not I." Then he said to me, " These are the people who have passed through the great ordeal ; they have washed their robes and have made them white in the blood of the Lamb. That is why they stand before the throne of God and minister to him day and night in his temple ; and he who sits on the throne will dwell with them.

They shall never again feel hunger or thirst, the sun shall not beat on them nor any scorching heat, because the Lamb who is at the heart of the throne will be their shepherd and will guide them to the springs of the water of life; and God will wipe all tears from their eyes." Revelation 7 : 13 to 7 : 17

The spirits of all those who have died and who have attained the heavenly realm will never again hunger or thirst for the Word of God because they have finally attained entrance into that spiritual emplacement. They are now companions of the Lamb who will insure that they continue to move forward spiritually. They shall never be unhappy, ever again, certainly not in that wonderful realm which has been described to us and which we cannot possibly ever fully comprehend while we are still residents of this physical world.

I would like to mention that, one night in my sleep, God allowed me to see that emplacement. Unfortunately, I am unable to find the right words to describe it. It is a world that is full of light that is present equally everywhere. The colours, such as the extraordinary flowers that may be found in that world, are unimaginably unique and so beautiful that no words can be found to describe them.

Have you noticed that the prophecy seems to be saying that the spiritual realm does not have a sun. However most descriptions of that world, coming from those who have seen it, such as myself, are that a spiritual white light is abundant, it is everywhere and seems to be emanating from the throne itself.

The following presentation will describe to us a mystery scroll that contains seven separate seals. The new Lamb of God, who is the new divine Messenger and His Manifestation for the new era, will open it and divulge to us all that it contains.

The mysterious scroll is opened
