The resolution of prophecy also demonstrates God.


Three ways of demonstrating God:

1 By foreshadowings before Jesus Christ (p.14) or scriptures that tell us of Him or His deeds hundreds and thousands of years before His coming; impossible, therefore, for man to invent.

2 Showing a plot hidden for thousands of years that has developed in the Bible coincidentally among disparate generations of peoples far removed from each other. To the astonishment of every mortal, we will see that the bible speaks of each of us already living in heaven. We will see our story from our fall to our salvation, later in Jacob's Ladder, and we will also see in several places in the bible that salvation history is captured in three and a half tenses (p. 37).

3 In addition, we will decipher words from the Bible (p.93) with the key shown below. A key underlying also the different times and cultures of the people who "write" in the Bible.


But first we will see the keys to decipher the prophecies, and before that we will destroy one of the walls that cloud the vision of Judeo-Christians according to the very definition of God for these religions:

God is who He is.
He is Love and it cannot be injustice, because injustice is lack of love for one of the parties.
To say that God attributes the sin of others different from us is to make Him unjust. It is to deny God. In itself it is Heresy.
Thus, our original sin is an inheritance from Adam and Eve; being that Adam and Eve designated all of us when we were at His side.


(*) Muslims call our original sin (that bitten apple), broken oath, otherwise it becomes the same.


The Bible, especially the Old Testament, speaks with double or deliberately ambiguous meanings. It sometimes uses metaphors to reveal hidden knowledge in a masterful display of planning, and these secrets are also proof of the existence of a Higher Being who is the mastermind behind them. This is because many of these meanings are revealed today, 2000 and 3000 years after they were written, and it is therefore impossible for them to have been passed on from generation to generation. Furthermore, we find that generations and cultures separated by thousands of years have unknowingly written in obedience to this common hidden thread.

Fundamental principles to understand the prophecies.

Puzzle

These secrets of the Bible have been written so that in our time they may be revealed. All the prophecies, and many Words, find another full meaning beyond the one they show; all from this beginning, however absurd it may seem:

Man was already living together with God before the Universe and the world. Indeed there was a betrayal in which some wished to have more "Essence of God" that which gave us Life (later these will be the demons or fallen ones). They rose up against God, and convinced others who did not hate, but coveted it all the same (represented or hidden by the name "Eve"). For love of the latter there were others who without coveting followed them, also betraying (represented or hidden by the name "Adam"). These figures will be repeated constantly in the Bible under other names.

God tries to save us, for He loves us, but He cannot act unjustly, He is the One Who Is. Nor can He live with evil. After our repentance He could have saved those who neither hated nor coveted, but betrayed for love to the Eves, but the fallen ones cry out for justice and desire the same fate, for those who loved also betrayed. And so they cry out to God: "If they betrayed they also deserve our same fate; save us all or condemn us all". God is the One Who Is. He cannot be unjust and this claim prevents Him from saving only the "lovers".

You may think the following is outrageous and nonsensical, but it will be demonstrated in the essay. The basic and puerile drawing below shows the general lines.

The Logic of God is Love

 

The Justice of God is Love

The Tree of Knowledge

Thus, God has only one way to save us: to create a new Nature that escapes from that justice, because in the beginning, before the first death, in heaven, we were not men (yes, it seems nonsense, have a little patience). But it was not enough to create man and link him to our souls, for these, our souls, were broken by betrayal, by lack of love, we could no longer keep God, the Holy Spirit within us, and to do so by "decree" would be unjust, for our most treacherous "brothers" (whom we call demons), will not receive a body here, they will not be made men like us. The new Nature would also have to be made fit to receive the "Essence of God". And so, the first of those created in heaven, the one who maintained the Essence of God in the highest intensity, the one who pleased God and made the heavenly nature fit: being created independent of God with the Essence of God within him (Jesus - two natures already in heaven, part created, part divine), had to validate the new nature man with a sacrifice of infinite Love. As Jesus was the validating or founding principle of the heavenly nature (created by God) which then validated man, no fallen angel could attribute injustice to this "recreation", for it would be to declare his own creation unjust.

From this we can deduce this other fundamental principle in the prophecies:

The "Eves", who were deceived by the fallen ones and then convinced the "Adams" in heaven, on earth will have no ears for God and will continue to listen to the idols and demons of the world; even if they want to, they will not be able to believe on their own. In the same way, the Adam's will have ears for God and will be able to convert the Eves, and it will be by their experience of Life, experience of love. This happened in reverse in heaven; from the Eves they received perdition, here on earth the deaf or "Eves" will be able to receive salvation for love from the "Adams", from those who hear.

Thus, they are contrasted in the Bible:

"Eves"
"Adams"
Daughters of men (Genesis 6:12 and others). It is designated in feminine, as Eve not because they are women but to differentiate. Children of God

Cattle. They cannot be separated from the world and are at the mercy of reptiles (demons). (Genesis 7,13-16 and others). In Noah's ark, all kinds of birds, cattle and snakes (reptiles, vermin - fallen angels) are placed. Birds can be separated from the world (Adam, they will listen to God).
Deaf, Blind, ‘those outside’. Constant references in the Bible. He who has ears… , inscribed in the Book of Life
Race of Canaan Race of Judah

3½ Times in Genesis



1st Time. Our origin in Heaven. 1st The Expulsion. Chapters 1-4. Ch.5 time separator

Here he forms earth and heaven. It places man in Eden which is really heaven.



Eze 28:13-15  Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.  14  Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.  15  Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.

here was the Devil, the serpent, before he was revealed and fell (fallen angel). Of course, it talks about the rebellion, otherwise why put the evil serpent or the devil. Everything is explained as in a story with only the little drawings missing.
In this first part, in the garden of Eden, the groups that will take part in the war and their motives are presented; the rebellion is exposed. The story begins by calling at all times "man" or "woman" who will later be called Adam and Eve. This is an important difference, for, as I say, it refers to collectives; calling "man" does not even metaphorically designate one, but many.
The "man" did such and such...

The "woman" said such and such... (even in this case it is possible to generalise).

Here because of the woman, the man ceases to be what he was for God. Both "die", the woman "killed" by the devil, the man "killed" by the woman; death of Being. Thus the word "woman" is not "female" but will represent those who empty themselves of God by believing the devil, by greed, those who are not inscribed in the book of life here among us; or those who do not listen and like fools have ears only for money and the idols of the world, for the devil. I say "represents", but it really corresponds to what happened in heaven.

The "man", who is also empty of God because of the "woman", will have an open ear for the word of God in the world, because they did not allow themselves to be convinced by the devil, but out of love for the "woman". But it is through the "man" that the "woman" can find salvation, and this is symbolised by the rib, which is also in the place of the heart; it is through the love of the "man" that the "woman" is given a chance; in other words, if the "man" dies because of the "woman", the "woman" can only live because of the "man". It is therefore a representation of what is to happen, which later continues with "daughters of men" confronted with the term "sons of God".

In this 1st time "man" and "woman" are expelled from heaven (Eden), and it designates our first Stage, of the 3 ½ in our history of Salvation. For, as will be explained, God could have struck us down for the betrayal, but made way for the next stages to try to save us (at least the Adam's, who loved).

Ch. 4 Consequences of betrayal

With Cain and Abel we are still talking about the same collective (Eve, Adam), and here we are talking about the effects of rebellion. Now, being the same, we change our names because we no longer have the Holy Spirit; we are not really the same.   And so, with Cain and Abel the fact is repeated: Cain kills Abel, or by Eve Adam falls, which is to say the same thing; and the consequence is repeated: Cain is "expelled" (it will be, in the future, we are still in the 1st time) for it to another place that will not give him any fruit (2nd or 3rd time where they will not be able to receive the lost Holy Spirit, they will not be able to receive fruit). It is not a new expulsion, it is the same expulsion of Adam and Eve from Eden that begins the 1st time. But here He will reveal to us the effects of the betrayal (birds, cattle, beasts). I once put the 2nd time here but really this chapter says the same as the previous one, adding that classification or those effects according to the betrayal that I speak of below. The chapters in which he speaks of the long descents are then constituted as separators: Chp.5 (1=>2); Chp.10 (2=>3).

Genesis 4:12 When you till the ground it will no longer yield up its strength to you. A restless wanderer you will be on earth.'
Genesis 4:14-15 Look, today you drive me from the surface of the earth. I must hide from you, and be a restless wanderer on earth. Why, whoever comes across me will kill me!' 'Very well, then,' Yahweh replied, 'whoever kills Cain will suffer a sevenfold vengeance.' So Yahweh put a mark on Cain, so that no one coming across him would kill him.

He speaks of what will happen to him in the 2nd time. There has been a battle in heaven and these are the losers, whom the faithful will not be able to harm (we still remember).



Genesis 4:16 Cain left the presence of Yahweh and settled in the land of Nod, east of Eden.

It is important to know why we are talking only about Cain. The death of Abel as I said speaks to us of the consequences of rebellion. Abel, (Adam) is considered one of the traitors because although he turned his back on God for love, he also betrayed. All under the same name: Cain. In this sense, Cain's descendants are:


Genesis 4:20-22  And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of such as have cattle.  21  And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ.  22  And Zillah, she also bare Tubalcain, an instructer of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain was Naamah.

Which designate the 3 groups that remain differentiated and will reach the earth:
Raise cattle: Eves or fools who do not separate themselves from the world.
Play the zither and the flute: Adam, listen &praise God. On the other hand, music like birds move through the air (they can separate themselves from the world).
Forge copper and iron: Iron describes Satan and bronze the demons in Daniel's dreams, they are also forged by burning fire. They represent the demons.

The fact that Cain (4:16) settles in the land of Nod to the east (= where the sun rises: God) of Eden, tells us that this fact is a gift or mercy from God, since the normal thing would have been to fulminate us all, i.e. to fall to the other side (west), into the flames of hell. The Scriptures are usually very precise about the "East and West". This is already the beginning of the 2nd Time; in fact it already speaks of his descendants in 4:16 and Chp.5 should begin.

Then Seth will be born, who is the one who again represents the Adam (since Abel had disappeared), which means that, beyond our betrayal, which makes us all equal, the descendants of Seth will be the ones who listen (Adam). Even if we are traitors, this will differentiate us. Of course, it is the same "Adam" who are again named separately to speak of this characteristic.

Genesis 4:26  And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the LORD. 

2nd Time. Until Noah; "Near to God". Chapters 6-9. 10 separator.

The story was 'cut off' with the recapitulation of the 1st time in chapter 5.



Genesis 6:1-2
When people began being numerous on earth, and daughters had been born to them, the sons of God, looking at the women, saw how beautiful they were and married as many of them as they chose.
Genesis 6:3                                  
Yahweh said, 'My spirit cannot be indefinitely responsible for human beings, who are only flesh; let the time allowed each be a hundred and twenty years.'

We are close to God but not in God. The Adam's meet the Eves or the "sons of God" meet the "daughters of men" or the hearing meet the deaf.
It is still the same as in Eden: the "woman" loses or 'kills' the "man". The deaf to those who listen.  God puts us all together, but evil reigns among all.
He wipes the slate clean, symbolised in Noah and the ark. The flood is the restart as real nature as men as we are, with a body. Again with an impossible DNA. From Noah onwards God disappears for us. Before even the 'deaf' could talk to Him. From now on only a chosen few. From then on (6:3) we, as humans, live only 120 years at the most.
Noah symbolises our passage from 'heavenly' nature to human nature, which confirms that God is Love. He provides what is necessary for our salvation, and the human nature is the nature of man (from something empty that falls with Luzbel, to eternal death), so that in the use of our freedom and in the subsequent redemption of that nature (by Jesus) we can be filled again with God and be saved. All these chapters speak of the same thing: of our passage on earth, with chapter 10 being the separator. From chapter 11 onwards we are already on earth.


Chapter 10 The offspring is again the separator (already begun in 9:18)..

It begins with the same structure as the recapitulation or separation from the 1st to the 2nd time; Chapter 5. The account of the offspring already begins in 9:18, that should be the beginning of Chapter 10.



Genesis 10:1
These are the descendants of Noah's sons, Shem, Ham and Japheth, to whom sons were born after the flood:               …

The descendants of Noah and the kingdoms of the earth that they form are recounted and will later be traversed and named in the Bible. It is worth noting the change in longevity from 800 and more years to living 120 years as men. Today (when I wrote this) the longest living woman in the world is 116 years old according to the Guinness Book of Records. Today... in our land... Above all, it is interesting to point out the uselessness of writing impossible data, such as living these many, many years, if you want to give credibility to what is written, unless it is really true; or else, to differentiate these times. Either way, it would be unreasonable to write this for man, but for God. And it all fits with what was written throughout history by different cultures, thousands of years apart, writing about a secret now revealed.
As a conclusion of Noah (intermediate passage to earth), we finally arrive here:

Genesis 10:32 These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations: and by these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.


3rd Time. Babel; Religions, paths to 7 sizes of souls Cp.11.

Let’s look at the tower of Babel:



Genesis 11:1-2
Now the whole earth had one language and few words.
And as men migrated from the east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there.                             (Revised Standard Version – Catholic Edition1)

It repeats for us as in another short story what happens after the rebellion.  It tells us what happened: "as humanity moves, it moves from the East" (from the rising sun towards the setting sun, towards death). And we are situated in the vega (=lowland area, usually beside a river =>Life=God). This means that on the way to death (after the rebellion) we stand beside God, but not in God. In the 2nd time is where this 3rd time will be "organised"; where it will be clear who will listen, who will not listen, and who will not have a body. There will also be the demand by the demons to receive the same destiny as the Adam (also traitors), hence the differentiation organised for the earth. We will see that all this, with the same participants, is continually repeated in the scriptures, in different ways with different peoples. The Lord has made it so, so that we can see it today. Babel repeats itself to tell us about religions.

Genesis 11:3
They said to one another, 'Come, let us make bricks and bake them in the fire.' For stone they used bricks, and for mortar they used bitumen.
4 'Come,' they said, 'let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top reaching heaven. Let us make a name for ourselves, so that we do not get scattered all over the world.'

Thus, these structures symbolise us by making us greater, as great as God (“with its top reaching heaven”). It is all of humanity that betrays in heaven, which will later truly become all of humanity. It is another description of the betrayal, before going on to explain what will happen in the third time: separating us into religions so that we do not understand one another.


Genesis 11:5-9
Now Yahweh came down to see the city and the tower that the people had built.
'So they are all a single people with a single language!' said Yahweh. 'This is only the start of their undertakings! Now nothing they plan to do will be beyond them.
Come, let us go down and confuse their language there, so that they cannot understand one another.'
Yahweh scattered them thence all over the world, and they stopped building the city.
That is why it was called Babel, since there Yahweh confused the language of the whole world, and from there Yahweh scattered them all over the world.

So, on earth God entangles our paths, or, in other words, separates our paths. There must be freedom of choice, it is not that God wants to annoy us, it is that there must be freedom. On the other hand, the tower of Babel, which can also represent the world, has 7 floors (historically: cuneiform tablet called "of the Esagil"), like those 7 churches, 7 religions, 7 types or sizes of soul. In the example I so often give of the school with different classes, guided towards the same direction or teaching, mercy, and by the same principal, this would be like overshadowing the classrooms between them. To think that everyone's is the only valid one, that the others are not directed towards mercy.


Note that in Babel 11:9 ends as Noah 10:32 ends =>
11:9 and from there Yahweh scattered them all over the world.
10:32 by these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.
God uses two stories to tell us different aspects of the same story. In one, salvation from death (the sea) by means of the ark (Jesus Christ), in the other that separation of cultures, religions (mainly); after Babel he already speaks of peoples, when in Noah they were "persons", a family. In reality, Babel could be at the end of the Second Era (it ends up the same, scattered across the face of the earth), he puts it here, in the part of our world or after the separator, to indicate that this differentiation between sizes was evident in heaven, but here we will only see it through the differentiation of religions.
As a parenthesis on Noah and in general on the stages of salvation, I would like to point out that:

Genesis 9:11
And I shall maintain my covenant with you: that never again shall all living things be destroyed by the waters of a flood, nor shall there ever again be a flood to devastate the earth.'

Unfortunately this good news, which is God's covenant with us, is not so good for the one who does not get it here, because, moreover, it is telling us that there will be no new beginning or new opportunity. That there will not be a new environment, a new beginning; because we will already choose in freedom in the new Nature, so dearly bought for us, with the martyrdom of Jesus Christ to fulfil all righteousness.
Genesis continues with the history on our earth (3rd time) in which the children of Abraham grow up among other things. This would be the "long" of the 3rd time, the history before Jesus or the Passion.

Chapter 22. Abraham. Half-time. The Passion, our rescue.

This is the remaining half-time, and it starts from the passion. Of course, being in Genesis the passion could not come out as such, so what the Lord does is a very clear foreshadowing in which Abraham (God the Father), offers his son for sacrifice. Jesus is here Isaac and the goat that will later be sacrificed in his place; one in his heavenly nature that does not die and the other in his human nature that dies on the cross. That is the moment of our salvation, and that is the moment when the half-time begins.

Gen 22:18 And in your seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed.

[Better "seed", thus translated in several Bibles "Latin: semine", because in addition to offspring it is "seed" and Christ is introduced as a seed into the earth, to give life]

In (17 'gate of your enemies'): The Spirit will enter us after the passion.
In (18) Those nations are we, those of Ishmael (Muslims), and others. For did not the Lord send an angel to Ishmael making a promise to him as to Isaac? To those Onagers (wild donkeys), who have pitched tent in front of the others just as He foretold And do you still doubt those 7 ways set by God?
I repeat the foreshadowing here because of how important it is especially here.



Foreshadowing of Jesus in Isaac

Deciphering Genesis



3½ Times In Daniel

Dreams and visions

In the prophet Daniel we will also see our history initiated from heaven, and it will also be done in several stages. The way in which the prophet expounds it is with the dreams of the kings he serves and his own visions. He makes an interpretation of these dreams, but he does so from the world; if these interpretations correspond to actual events in history, then it is because the Lord has used or modified history to show us this hidden message. However, there are interpretations of Daniel that are clearly not real, such as when he predicts (and it comes true) that Nebuchadnezzar would become an animal for 7 years. In these cases the real message of God speaking of our history from our betrayal in heaven prevails. Before I begin the dreams, I will start with chapter 5, skipping over Nebuchadnezzar's first two dreams which I then analyse.

Dan 5:3-6  Then they brought the golden vessels that were taken out of the temple of the house of God which was at Jerusalem; and the king, and his princes, his wives, and his concubines, drank in them.  4  They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone.  5  In the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaister of the wall of the king's palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote.  6  Then the king's countenance was changed, and his thoughts troubled him, so that the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees smote one against another.
Dan 5:24-28  Then was the part of the hand sent from him; and this writing was written.  25  And this is the writing that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.  26  This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it.  27  TEKEL; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting.  28  PERES; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.

This word separates Nebuchadnezzar's first two dreams from the next two visions during the reign of Balthasar. It should be noted that, in the writing of the floating fingers (5:25), the first word "Mene" is repeated, so there are some translations that eliminate one of them as redundant and therefore an error. However, it all makes sense, as these words correspond to dreams and visions, and to our stages of salvation. As for the floating fingers writing, it tells us that all this is put here by God, not by man, and that somehow these fingers bring together all the dreams and visions.
Let's look at the meanings Daniel gives.
Mene: God has numbered the days of your reign and brought them to an end. 
Mene: God has numbered the days of your reign and brought them to an end. 
Tekel: You have been weighed in the balance and you lack weight.
Peres: your kingdom has been divided and given to the Medes and Persians.
The first two Mene speak to us of our first two times of betrayal. 1st at the very moment of rising and 2nd next to God, but not in God; we are not yet on earth. This pre-earth phase is also separated because they are the dreams of Nebuchadnezzar, who curiously, as we will see later, in his 2nd and last dream is warned that he will become a soulless animal, which it says is fulfilled for 7 years until he recognises God. This is basically what happens to us after we are expelled from heaven (God has counted the days of your reign and put an end to them) and cannot receive the Holy Spirit until Christ rescues us in his passion or if you like until the end of our life here when we are judged and return (whoever can) to heaven.
Tekel would be our time in the world (the third time), before the passion. During which, as I say, we cannot receive the Holy Spirit and we are empty. This is described here as lacking weight.
Peres is our last half-time. We can now receive the Spirit. Here he refers to the word "kingdom", which also designates all of us who have ever received the Holy Spirit. He says it is divided, which I think refers to how we are left after the passion. Some, those who can hear, who are the Adams, are pitted against those who cannot (the Eves). This only becomes clear when we are able to receive the Holy Spirit, for it is the Spirit that distinguishes us from one another. Furthermore, Jesus Himself says it: Matt 10.34 Think not that I am come to bring peace on earth: I am not come to bring peace, but a sword.  [Father versus son... speaks of division]. On the other hand, by saying that 'it is divided into two', it also speaks of a time divided into two = half a time.
As for the dreams, we will see that they are also divided into two groups, those of heaven and those of earth, although they speak of the same thing in different ways:

• First dream

 Dan 2:31-35  Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and the form thereof was terrible.  32  This image's head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass,  33  His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay.  34  Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces.  35  Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.

In this dream it speaks of the groups that were revealed in heaven and of the rebellion itself. The head of gold refers to the Adams, those who betrayed for love (gold for God is love). The silver breasts and arms refer to the Eves. This may refer to what has already been mentioned: the Adams betray by thought (marked on the forehead), the Eves are marked on the hand, by action (Rev 13,16. See A bit of Numerology). The belly and loins of bronze, would be the demons and the feet of iron and clay is the satan. The mud perhaps refers to that iniquity which arises from it, and which weakens the structure (the rock, too, is something earthly, and, in fact, later becomes a mountain which fills the whole earth). In the end it is iniquity, that greed, that brings us all down. Rather, it is the trigger, because, although that golden head falls for love, it actually does so following the Eves who fall before and whom we love intensely in heaven. Then the stone turns everything to dust (we are emptied of the Spirit) and together with it we fall like a great mountain and fill the whole earth.
This dream represents the first time, the rebellion. Just after, included in this time, will come the event in which God saves Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego from the furnace (Dan 3:14-93) which may refer to the fact that He does not destroy the Adam, Eve, and demons that will come to the earth; this makes more sense complementing it with other salvations of two more periods, since these three in the reading are sent to the furnace out of faithfulness to God, however, as I said, Daniel's interpretation in the scripture is different from what is hidden in these chapters by God. Thus, for example, the word Abed-nego comes from the Babylonian name formed from the Semitic voice ab-d, meaning "servant, server", and Nebo, one of the gods of Mesopotamia. If we look up Nebo (Nabu) in Wikipedia, we see that he was a West Semitic Assyrian god, who wears two horns on his hat, and rides a dragon (which belonged to his father -by adoption- Marduk, chief deity of Babylon). According to this, "Abed-nego" would be "servant of Nebo", which would be more in line with those demon servants of satan.

• Second dream

Dan 4:10-17 Thus were the visions of mine head in my bed; I saw, and behold a tree in the midst of the earth, and the height thereof was great.  11  The tree grew, and was strong, and the height thereof reached unto heaven, and the sight thereof to the end of all the earth:  12  The leaves thereof were fair, and the fruit thereof much, and in it was meat for all: the beasts of the field had shadow under it, and the fowls of the heaven dwelt in the boughs thereof, and all flesh was fed of it.  13  I saw in the visions of my head upon my bed, and, behold, a watcher and an holy one came down from heaven;  14  He cried aloud, and said thus, Hew down the tree, and cut off his branches, shake off his leaves, and scatter his fruit: let the beasts get away from under it, and the fowls from his branches:  15  Nevertheless leave the stump of his roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and let his portion be with the beasts in the grass of the earth:  16  Let his heart be changed from man's, and let a beast's heart be given unto him; and let seven times pass over him.  17  This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men.

The tree (4:10) in the centre of the earth is the kingdom of God. It may also refer to the tree of life in the centre of heaven, but in any case, it refers to the Holy Spirit, the Essence of God. In 4:11 it already begins to speak of rebellion, for it was the lust for that Essence, which was available to us in heaven that causes us to take of it and grow without measure (it grew and became stout). Thus this Essence, though unduly taken, was still the Essence of God (beautiful branch, abundant fruit, food for all). From it are nourished the beasts of the field (the demons or angels who coveted and rose up believing themselves to be as much as God), the birds of the air (the adams or angels who took for love the Eves, who later could separate themselves from the earth), and other living creatures (the unnamed, missing Eves). The holy watchman represents the faithful angels and to cut down the tree is to empty the Holy Spirit from the traitors, thieves of the Essence.  "Leave alone on the ground the stump with its roots, with chains of iron and bronze among the bushes of the field", speaks to us of our fall to Earth, where we will all be without Spirit: the stump with its roots, without leaves, branches, or life. The stump actually represents the Adam and before the passion we will be enslaved by chains of iron (satan) and bronze (demons); this links with the first dream, that of the statue (image in english). The grass of the field may be the Eves, not comparable to the stump with its roots (particularly mentioned) in the earth. "Let his human soul be taken from him and given an animal soul and let him live seven years", speaks of the same thing, that emptying of the Spirit and that period of probation on earth which will allow us, thanks to God, to be saved. As for the dew of heaven, it can refer to the history of salvation that God has with men, even before Jesus Christ. We are not talking about sap flowing from within but about something external that soaks in. 


As I was saying, with regard to the interpretation given by Daniel and then fulfilled for the king, I would point out that it does not make sense from the reality of the world. This dream has not been hidden by apparently historical facts, it only makes sense from heaven.
There are references that tell us that this dream is the 2nd period (close to God, but not in God), the time of Cain and Abel and the tower of Babel: The tree grew and became stout, its height reached to heaven, it is the same image of those who unite to raise the tower of Babel to heaven and then God destroys it. On the other hand, later, in the following chapter (5), he will name the invisible fingers which, as I said, seem to separate our stages in heaven and those on earth. In this sense, the two interpretations of Daniel that we have seen were "Dreams", which are those of heaven, and the two remaining ones are "Visions" which would correspond to our stages on earth (note, moreover, that vision is to the body - it is more physical - as sleep is to the soul, perhaps).
On the other hand, after this dream comes when God saves Daniel in the lion's den Dan 6:10-22. This, which will be repeated at the end of the 4th vision, may mean that God saves the Adams by allowing them to hear and receive the Holy Spirit in due time (not like the deaf, Eve). If earlier he saved from the furnace the 3 which I believe designate groups, now it seems to represent that the birds, Adam, will be able to flee from the beasts (lion's den). This, which seems a bit risky in the interpretation, must be seen as a whole, in these three salvations of execution (two of them exactly the same, in spite of being death sentences of different kings: Darius the Mede, and Cyrus the Persian).

• Third Vision

This dream narrates the rebellion again, telling us about the rebel groups as did the dream of the statue. As it is the third one, it seems to refer to the third period: we are on earth. Actually, there is not much data to affirm this, except for the order, the hand writing on the wall that separated the two previous dreams of heaven (Mené, Mené, of Nebuchadnezzar), the assignment Tekel (you lack weight, no Spirit) and the beginning of the vision: "In my night vision", night being our time on earth.
It begins by speaking of the four winds of heaven that stirred up the ocean. These may refer to the 4 cardinal points of the earth, although it probably speaks of the groups or agents participating in the rebellion, which we already know: Adams, Eves, demons and in this case satan is differentiated. It says ‘7:3 and how four gigantic beasts, all different from one another, came out of the sea’, the correct translation is ‘ascended of the sea’ (ascendebant), which does not imply coming out of the sea (death). Note that we were talking about an ocean before, not a sea, this may be relevant or just a figure of speech.

Dan 7:2-8  Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea.  3  And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another.  4  The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it.  5  And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh.  6  After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it.  7  After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.  8  I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things [others: enormous things / insolence / barbarities].

The beasts then are the groups of heaven:
The lion (1st beast) with eagle's wings refers to the Adams, who have their wings removed and will be made men, though their sin was out of love. The Adams are, among these beasts, the best; they still have love.
The bear (2nd beast) resembling a bear, standing on its side, with three ribs in its jaws, between its teeth... it devours flesh. These are the Eves and the three ribs refer to other Eves they convince, Adam and demons; i.e. they convince other angels that eventually by the motivation that leads them to betrayal (love, greed, hatred) they will become one or the other. Since the rib symbolises love (‘from Adam’s rib, placed in the place of the heart, Eve was made’ = ‘through Adam’s love, woman is created, and the Eves are given a chance, for if it were not for his love, they would all have been instantly destroyed’), those ribs may also refer to the Love of those three groups of angels whom he persuades. For if any faithful angel, convinced or led by Eve’s love, ended up hating God, he too became a demon. When it says that the bear rests on its side, it may refer to the same rib of Adam by which Eve is created. The bear's hunger represents in heaven the greed of the Eves to get fat with the Holy Spirit, on earth that devoured flesh will be the Adams, because the (deaf) Eves only listen to the world and will pull their acquaintances towards it. The bear is also slow, does not look very smart, and has the colour of the earth, not green like vegetation but brown or white (it does not separate from the earth like cattle unless it climbs a tree = another person as seen).
The leopard (3rd beast). ‘Then, as I continued to watch, I saw another leopard-like beast with four wings on its back and four heads, to which they gave power’. The leopard is a feline that hunts, not representing royalty like the lion, but cunning and skill in hunting. These are the demons in general. When it says they are given power and have four heads I think it refers to the power God gives them to tempt us in the world (4 cardinal points), because this is actually given by God when these were already defeated, in order to be able to justify us in the struggle of the world and in our freedom. As for the wings, they refer to the ability they will have to whisper in our ears ‘flying’ without any body. Their wings are not removed like the lion (who is made a man). There is another reference in the last vision (4th) to the goat that represents the devil and his kind, in which the goat travels ‘through the earth without touching the ground’. Note, moreover, that there are 4 wings (4 cardinal points again).
Well, this order fits with the golden statue, also with the 4th beast.
The 4th Beast is frightful and terrible. It is satan who was an extremely beautiful and great angel in the Essence of God. It was through him that iniquity entered and many followed him. He is the worst, the father of hatred.
It says that it has ten horns and that later one emerged, causing three to fall. This is important: the horns represent everything used to wound God; in other words, a horn can also refer to a group of angels or the harm they suffer (which wounds God); just as our sins do the same, because He loves us.
The horn that sprouts small is about blackmail (I want the same fate as the Adams, who are also traitors). In heaven we were grouped into 12 sizes (and 7 of us fall to earth; it is worth reading ‘A bit of numerology. The Relationship between 7 and 12 ’, p.197.), counting the beautiful angel (Satan), Jesus and God. The original damage inflicted on God in the battle of heaven was suffered by 9 sizes and by Jesus. The aggressor or instigator of the rebellion was Satan (another distinct size), making a total of 10 sizes; the aggressor is not counted, because it is not Satan himself who wounds God, but rather His victims—the loss of those He loves. There remain 10 horns that have suffered damage or cause God harm due to Heaven’s betrayal (10 sorrows, sufferings for God). “One stands out, spouting nonsense” – this is the blackmail perpetrated by Satan at the end of the second period, demanding the same fate as the Adams, for which, together with the Eves, he slanders with lies those who betrayed for love (the Adams). Through these lies, he causes the Adams from 7 of the groups, according to the size of heaven, to fall to earth, but in 2 groups (probably among the largest in terms of soul size) there were no traitors. The original pain of heaven’s betrayal becomes, on earth (night), the pain of seven of the groups, joined by that little one who is Satan himself and his blackmail (the outrageous things he says that cause those seven sizes, plus Satan himself, to come to earth). It says that (8) had human eyes and a mouth that spoke atrocities, perhaps alluding to that humanity which God creates to free us from that blackmail, and it does not mention the body (only eyes and mouth) because the devil on earth will not actually have a body, but he will be able to see us and tempt us through our ears, so that, in the name of justice, we may eliminate the blackmail itself.

Continuing same Vision:

Then, the blackmail of the beast has its consequences and that is that God (old man -7:9-) destroys the beast by throwing him into the fire and the other three beasts are left alive and then left on the earth (for a season and time). These are the Adam, Eve and demons. "(7:13) Someone resembling a human being" and the following refers to Jesus. As for the beast and the horn that spoke barbarities and cast into the fire (7:11), it may also refer to the destruction of the racketeer (emerging horn), which will be annulled by the creation of the world and the passion of the Lord (although it will remain present until it is all over), I do not think it is a destruction of satan forever. Moreover, it seems like a way of bringing it all to a conclusion; unlike the next vision which remains unfinished, in this one, the only thing that remains open is the fact that the other three beasts are left alive "7:12 their lives were prolonged for a season and time". As a note the true translation of this should be: "their life had been prolonged to them time and time" (ad tempus et tempus) Can the Lord be any clearer? (remember that in that part it is describing the time of the rebellion in heaven and that we most certainly lived through the 1st + 2nd + [3rd or 4th: earth] stages).

Dan 7:9-12  I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire.  10  A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.  11  I beheld then because of the voice of the great words [ ] which the horn spake: I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame.  12  As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time. 13  I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.  14  And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.

• Fourth Vision

This is the half time. And this is not only because of the order (4th of 3 and a half times), but because it is the only one not concluded. In the other dreams, the period of salvation or the period of heaven is concluded: in the golden statue, the rebellion is narrated from heaven and ends with its consequence (the earth is filled by the rock that falls); in the tree, also from heaven, the rebellion is narrated and how it falls, but we are already presented with the solution: man recognises that "the Most High is master of the human kingdoms", after which (7 years there) Nebuchadnezzar becomes a man again, for he became a beast.  However, after this dream, Daniel goes on to ask:
"How long shall the vision last: the perpetual sacrifice, the desolating iniquity, the sanctuary and the host trodden under foot?" So he places himself in an unfinished time of world history (even though he speaks or asks about a future from his place in time). The answer to this question is the second part of Daniel's prophecies and they also bear on the separation of the three and a half times, as will be seen. It seems then, that in Daniel this half time is determined by the fact that it is unfinished, and does not occur as in other places in the Bible where we are told of the 3.5 times and the last half is clearly determined by the passion of Christ. Nevertheless, as I said later, it explains with numbers those three and a half times. In fact, Daniel is the one who speaks most clearly about them in the Bible, if I remember correctly.

Dan 8:3-14  Then I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there stood before the river a ram which had two horns: and the two horns were high; but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last.  4  I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward; so that no beasts might stand before him, neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and became great.  5  And as I was considering, behold, an he goat came from the west on the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground: and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes.  6  And he came to the ram that had two horns, which I had seen standing before the river, and ran unto him in the fury of his power.  7  And I saw him come close unto the ram, and he was moved with choler against him, and smote the ram, and brake his two horns: and there was no power in the ram to stand before him, but he cast him down to the ground, and stamped upon him: and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand.  8  Therefore the he goat waxed very great: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and for it came up four notable ones toward the four winds of heaven.  9  And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land.  10  And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them.  11  Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host, and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down. 12  And the host was given over to it together with the continual burnt-offering through transgression; and it cast down truth to the ground, and it did its pleasure and prospered.  13  Then I heard a holy one speaking; and another holy one said unto that certain one who spake, How long shall be the vision concerning the continual burnt-offering, and the transgression that maketh desolate, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?  14  And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred evenings and mornings; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.

 But going back to the dream we see that there is a ram with two horns; one overhanging the other. These horns are the Adam and the Eve. The Eves being, "one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last ", since the Adam group as we were saying are the ones that follow the Eves by processing love for them (fall for them). It says that the ram "charged against the west, the north and the south" which means that he was given freedom to do everything but go against God (the east is where the sun rises = God). It is another way of saying: "eat from any tree but the tree of Life".
A goat comes from the west (=where the sun sets => death) and attacks the ram. This is the satan and his followers. He knocks the ram to the ground and breaks his horns. This already refers to the future fall of Adam and Eve to the earth, to the world, or in any case to the emptying of the Spirit. "(8:8) The goat became very great, and when he was strong, the big horn was broken and in its place stood out four others oriented to the four cardinal directions;" this refers to how the rebellion increased and that in the end the devil and his kind were defeated (the horn is broken off). Now it is divided into 4 horns. As I said in the 3rd dream the horns are everything with which God is wounded or with which God can be wounded, i.e. a horn can also designate the fact of harming a group of angels, which in turn will wound God. So, the rebellion ends, but now it is time to discern and see who is guilty or what is the fault of each one. Four groups are then distinguished by type of betrayal: The Adam, who betrayed out of love for the Eves. The Eves who coveted. The demons who coveted and in the struggle hated and finally the satan who is the promoter, the one who was the most beautiful and the greatest, the father of hatred. From this comes forth a little one, this little horn is blackmail (which deeply wounds God), and which is becoming greater, for by it (I want the same destiny as the Adam who are also traitors), not only the demons, but also the Eves and Adam himself will fall to the earth. "It will reach even to the head of the army" is because finally all this can only be solved by sending Jesus, who already offers Himself in heaven, to save us in the world. So, the direction in which these 4 horns grow into which the one horn separated, are east = Adam (they fall for love), south = Eves (in some places it refers to the south as the Eves for being where the queen of Sheba comes from, I think this was in Job), and the Land of Splendour which refers to the Holy Spirit Himself, the Chief of the Armies, or Jesus who will be sent to earth, or in general to all three, to God.
So that perpetual sacrifice (12), iniquity, and everything else that follows refers to our time away from God, empty of the Holy Spirit (until the passion) or even until the end of the world. When it says "they gave him the army" it means that God revives or allows the life of satan and demons (his army) among us so that through our personal struggle with them we can justify ourselves, in our freedom we can choose Him, we can revive because we came dead to the earth.
After this there are no more visions, so the following chapters can be framed within this time. This is relevant because the last chapter as I said, ends also with the salvation of Daniel by God from the lion's den (I don't know if it is the same den or another one, it places him in "Babylon"). Given that this half time, is not delimited as in the rest of the places in the Bible by the passion, but by the fact of being an unfinished story, we can again think that this is the salvation of the Adams, either because they can receive the Spirit after the Passion or because in general, the world and its entire history is created to try to save them, being the Eves or deaf, only an accompaniment that, if saved, will do it for the Adams (from Adam's rib...).

  

To summarise and before we go on to the numbers, we see that Daniel is also structured like other readings. The 3'5 times we have already seen shown in the dreams and visions, but in addition we see that God miraculously saves 3 times and after each "great" time.

Mene: God has counted the days of your reign and put an end to them.
Tekel: You have been weighed in the scales and you lack weight.
Peres: Your kingdom has been divided and given to the Medes and Persians.

Let us now analyse the numbers, which is the second part of what I was saying, Daniel shows. These are really of no great significance except to clearly indicate the existence of these three and a half times.

For how long is the vision concerning the continual burnt offering, the transgression that makes desolate, and the giving over of the sanctuary and host to be trampled under foot? 14 The other answered, Two thousand three hundred (2300) evenings and mornings; then the sanctuary will be rehabilitated.

Here there is a discrepancy with the time given later in the continuation of this same text, in Daniel 12 (1290 days) and Revelation 1260 days. The latter refer to the same time and have an explanation 1290 and 1260, but why does it say 2300 here, i.e. 1010 days more? Actually, it is the same figure because 2300 evenings and mornings are days from which the night is taken away. Counting from and to the most visible twilight (civil twilight it is called):


2300 days = 6.3 years.

1 year in Jerusalem (without nights):  4769:20:46 hours. 
6 years in Jerusalem (without nights): 28616:04:36 hours. (x 6 años) 
0.3 years is 109.5 days i.e.: 4769:20:46 hours. 
Total (6.3 years in light hours without night): 30238:14:06 hours. (/24 hoursxdays=)  
Total (6.3 years in light days without night): 1259.93 días.  

This means that from 1259.01 to 1260 we are within day 1260 (from 0 to 1 we are within 1, "filling" the one). The decimals would tell us about an hour within that day. This means that 2300 days without night is also 1260 days.
It is important to know that these are not hours of sunshine, but hours of the day without night, that is, counting the twilight. I have taken the data from https://salidaypuestadelsol.com/sun/jerusalem counting in the city of Jerusalem a normal year + 109 days and a half (from April 29 to August 15 both included and adding half a day of August 16). However, this is fulfilled by starting the 109.5 days (0.3) on any day from April 1 to August 25. The formula used by this website is at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunrise_equation, it is quite complex and I don't think it was available in Daniel's time.
So it is saying the same thing, but why express it differently? Perhaps because he also wants to refer to another point, to the moment when all that has been said will also be realised or finalised in heaven. The moment of the end of time, or when God will finally finish with the demons forever. Though in the passion they lost the battle, they still stood by us for our justification. Thus adding 1000 years to the time from when we fell from heaven (abolished the perpetual sacrifice) to the end of the world, we would arrive at "when the sanctuary will be rehabilitated", the sanctuary in heaven. According to Revelation 20:2, once the world is destroyed, the devil will remain immobilised for 1000 years and then he will return to attack the camp of the saints and the beloved city (heaven), and then he will finally be destroyed. I have already explained why this is so in The end of the Apocalypse. p.145: 1000 years of purgatory for those who die near the end of the world and need that purgation (surely for many of us). For if God were to break time now, would it not be unjust that those who need purgation would not be saved because they could not have it? Adding 1010 to the whole period from the betrayal of heaven to the restoration of the sanctuary I think could also refer to those 1000 years of waiting with satan immobilised until the last post-world battle (for 10 years perhaps) to destroy the demons once and for all. However, the 30 difference between 1290 Daniel and 1260 Revelation (and Daniel himself in 2300 evenings and mornings=1260 days), I think refers to the final outcome for us on earth, i.e. the time when we live before the end of the world, but after "(13) the sanctuary and the army trampled down", which would correspond to the (short) time when "the ox will graze with the lamb". It says "(14) then the sanctuary will be rehabilitated", which would be like saying: "with the second option of the numbers we have used, taking the 2300 evenings and mornings, not the 1260 days, the sanctuary of heaven will be rehabilitated".
So, we can take a date or not for the end of the world, the certain thing is that:

16 … Gabriel, explain the vision to him. 17 He came to me, and when he came, I fell on my face in fear. He said to me, «Man, you must understand that the vision refers to the end time.»

Sealed Prophecy Daniel 12

The following is a curiosity, best ignored....

Now more numbers; the sealed prophecy, Daniel 12

In chapter 8 we had placed ourselves at the end of the world or of time (which is not the same thing), depending on which number we took 1260 or 2300. Since it was consciously speaking to us of these two moments with the figure (2300 evenings and mornings = 1260 days). He goes on to speak of the final judgement of the dead and the living. When will these wonders be fulfilled? In 12:7 it says this time that the whole history of man must pass (3'5 times), covering the betrayal in heaven (-1-), close to God, but not in Him (Cain and Abel, we live 800 years, we still see Him and talk to Him -2-), on earth before the Passion of Christ (we live 120 years maximum -3-) and after the Passion (1/2 time). This I will explain later. As a note: in this case he may use the 3.5 because it speaks from heaven, and in a generic way. When it speaks of a specific event as it does later (11 counting from... to...) it uses the higher number.

Daniel 12:1-13  «At that time shall arise Michael, the great prince who has charge of your people. And there shall be a time of trouble, such as never has been since there was a nation till that time; but at that time your people shall be delivered, every one whose name shall be found written in the book.  2  And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.  3  And those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the firmament; and those who turn many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever.  4  But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, until the time of the end. Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.»  5  Then I Daniel looked, and behold, two others stood, one on this bank of the stream and one on that bank of the stream.  6  And I said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the stream, «How long shall it be till the end of these wonders?»  7  The man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the stream, raised his right hand and his left hand toward heaven; and I heard him swear by him who lives for ever that it would be for a time, two times, and half a time; and that when the shattering of the power of the holy people comes to an end all these things would be accomplished.  8  I heard, but I did not understand. Then I said, «O my lord, what shall be the issue of these things?»  9  He said, «Go your way, Daniel, for the words are shut up and sealed until the time of the end.  10  Many shall purify themselves, and make themselves white, and be refined; but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand; but those who are wise shall understand.  11  And from the time that the continual burnt offering is taken away, and the abomination that makes desolate is set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days [1290].  12  Blessed is he who waits and comes to the thousand three hundred and thirty-five days. [1335] 13  But go your way till the end; and you shall rest, and shall stand in your allotted place at the end of the days.»

When will these wonders be fulfilled? In 12:7 it says this time that the whole history of man must pass (3'5 times), covering the betrayal in heaven (-1-), close to God, but not in Him (Cain and Abel, we live 800 years, we still see Him and talk to Him -2-), on earth before the Passion of Christ (we live 120 years maximum -3-) and after the Passion (1/2 time). This I will explain later. As a note: in this case he may use the 3.5 because it speaks from heaven, and in a generic way. When it speaks of a specific event as it does later (11 counting from... to...) it uses the higher number.
Then he asks what will be the last of these things? And now he speaks again of the end of time; he actually puts it a little before the end of time: Counting from the time when the perpetual sacrifice is abolished and the abomination of desolation is set up: one thousand two hundred and ninety days. Add 30 to 1260 (1260=42 months, 3.5 years).
In between, in 12:5 to 12:7 he tells us of those who give him the message. One is on the river, whose water must represent the Holy Spirit. The other two are on the banks of the river. These 3 may refer to the Holy Trinity, i.e. the Persons of God, the one above the river being the father. Swearing by the one who lives eternally may refer to his own divinity (as Christ says: God alone is good, this has already been explained). Or perhaps a mention of his own title to a stranger (Who rules here? One and the same...). In Revelation we will see that these are likewise named as witnesses before God, lampstands and oil.
Well, since, as I say, the most important thing is not to draw a concrete date from the earth, these times speak to us more of stages. Let us not confuse them either with a continuous cycle of reincarnation; they are the consequence of God's attempt at salvation, which is realised in the creation of the new Man Nature, validated by full Justice. These 3.5 steps are our history, including our betrayal and salvation. There are some religions that glimpse part of this and frame it, as I said, in a continuous cycle of reincarnation, and as almost always there is some truth, but it is not our destiny or our end, but it has been a means of God to save us, which has generated some determined and counted stages.
As always, I must have missed a lot, but this is where it all goes. Whoever has patience and studies it, will surely come to more concrete conclusions than mine.
And this being so, why leave it sealed? Perhaps to confirm this knowledge, so that today we know our salvation history from heaven. Or simply so that the opening of the seal will be considered a sign that Our Lord is near to come.

 In line with all this, when in the scriptures we read (Exo 20,5; Exo, 34,7; Num 14,18; Deu 5,9) that:

Éxo 20:5  you shall not bow down to them or serve them; for I the LORD your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me, 6  but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.

It refers to the same thing, those three and a half times. Each of those generations are those times, periods or eons or whatever we want to call them. He never says directly "until the fourth generation", which would be normal, since by saying 4th generation you include the 3rd generation; he separates them by specifying them because the one who lived during the 3rd period, that is, before the passion of Christ, is not born again after the passion (4th time -which is the last ½ time-), but surely we all passed through the moment of the betrayal (1st) and the one after (2nd). Thus he says: I chastise each one of you whether you reach the 3rd or the 4th place.
Those who hate me here refers to all of us who come out of the Kingdom empty of Him, the thousands are from among the latter, the ones who will finally get saved. There is no room for anything else in righteousness.
In A Great Sign Appeared in Heaven p. 139 , the same numerology is also used.

The following is a curiosity, best ignored...

The equivalence of the Apocalypse that uses the same numbers

This text is found after the sixth angel which touches and happens the things I have explained; we were then placed between the resolution of the betrayal in heaven and our fall to earth. Here in 11.1 he begins by measuring the sanctuary of God and the altar, but he does not measure the outside which has been given to the Gentiles. We, the fallen Adam-Eve, are the outside, the Gentiles, are the demons. They will trample us underfoot for 42 months. Again 42 months equals 1260 days, the same as 3.5 (years) which will be used later also here. This, furthermore, tells us that what is said in these verses, refers to us, and the fallen ones.

3.5 years x 12 months = 42 months, x 30 days = 1260 days

These are equal periods, but taken or grouped in different ways; months, days, years. And the groupings change according to the prophecy (here it is 3.5 days, in another, times), which tells us that it is not the time itself that is important, but the relationship of equivalence between these numbers: 3.5; 42; 1260 and what each one determines. In the sealed prophecy of Daniel, which we have seen before, it says that all will be fulfilled when "A time, times, and half a time, and all these things will be fulfilled when the breaking of the strength of the holy People is finished." (in other translations it puts "2 times" instead of "times" and in others it directly adds up: in three and a half times).  This tells us of all the time from the betrayal to the end of the world, but by showing them differently, it shows the places we have passed through, our periods of life or critical moments in our history from heaven:

1. In the sky (3,5).

2. After the betrayal not yet on earth (42, Cain, Abel, we lived hundreds of years, we talked to God…).

3. On earth before the cross (1260, we cannot retain the Spirit, we no longer see God or speak directly to Him, and we live, 120 years at most Gen 6:3.Three and a half times.
½ After the cross (this would be the last ½). Here (today), we also live 120 years at the most.

Apocalipsis 11:1-13  Then I was given a measuring rod like a staff, and I was told: «Rise and measure the temple of God and the altar and those who worship there,  2  but do not measure the court outside the temple; leave that out, for it is given over to the nations, and they will trample over the holy city for forty-two months.  3  And I will grant my two witnesses power to prophesy for one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.»  4  These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands which stand before the Lord of the earth.  5  And if any one would harm them, fire pours out from their mouth and consumes their foes; if any one would harm them, thus he is doomed to be killed.  6  They have power to shut the sky, that no rain may fall during the days of their prophesying, and they have power over the waters to turn them into blood, and to smite the earth with every plague, as often as they desire.  7  And when they have finished their testimony, the beast that ascends from the bottomless pit will make war upon them and conquer them and kill them,  8  and their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city which is allegorically called Sodom and Egypt, where their Lord was crucified.  9  For three days and a half men from the peoples and tribes and tongues and nations gaze at their dead bodies and refuse to let them be placed in a tomb,  10  and those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them and make merry and exchange presents, because these two prophets had been a torment to those who dwell on the earth.  11  But after the three and a half days a breath of life from God entered them, and they stood up on their feet, and great fear fell on those who saw them.  12  Then they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, «Come up hither!» And in the sight of their foes they went up to heaven in a cloud.  13  And at that hour there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell; seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the rest were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.

It also tells us of the equivalence in ourselves in these periods of life: in heaven with our person and freedom the same as on earth, but with different natures. It is a way of saying that our life in which we staked everything, was given in periods of time different in size, but equal in importance; that is, the betrayal of heaven was realised by all mankind (before we became men) at the same time, in a short space of 'time'. The moment in which our betrayal was confirmed, in which we were with God, but not in God, was another time, and finally on earth, to which we came by generations, which extends over a longer period of time. But at the same time they have the same value, for they are parts of our history in which our life or death is decided. The last half a time, from the passion to the end, perhaps comes to tell us, (I speak of the measure, ½) that it is in reference to the penultimate, which also occurs on earth, or that we are in the same conditions (men, 120 years), but which lasts less time. Then it goes on:

2 but do not measure the court outside the temple; leave that out, for it is given over to the nations, and they will trample over the holy city for forty-two months. 3 And I will grant my two witnesses power to prophesy for one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth

The number 42, tells us that this begins in the 2nd period The Outer court of the Sanctuary has been delivered. We, when we had already been caught up, and were not yet on the earth and the following, the witnesses prophesying (1260) extends from then.
The two witnesses are difficult to identify. They could be two great prophets that arise in the different periods of salvation (3'5). One of them could be Elijah who later returns as John the Baptist and will come before the coming, and that is why it says that they will be seen for 3.5 days (in those periods). Of Elijah it says in the bible that he could shut the sky so that it would not rain as here in verse 6.
It could also be the Holy Spirit himself and Jesus, being that after the battle of heaven the devil was brought up (out of the abyss) to justify us and by blackmail the Adam was also emptied (he will overcome and kill them); to see us empty of the Spirit is like seeing lifeless corpses, corpses of the Spirit and even after death also in the world the emptied ones do not rest in peace:

7 And when they have finished their testimony, the beast that ascends from the bottomless pit will make war upon them and conquer them and kill them. 8 and their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city which is allegorically called Sodom and Egypt, where their Lord was crucified. 9 For three days and a half men from the peoples and tribes and tongues and nations gaze at their dead bodies and refuse to let them be placed in a tomb

Anyway, this is difficult to find out, the important thing in the end is to know how to distinguish that these stages of salvation have occurred in our history; it is not the main thing to specify them exactly, because, moreover, as I have been insisting wearily, much has been written intentionally in an ambiguous way or to show this duality or double information of our different stages. All this is confirmed in the exegesis of A great sign appeared in the sky (Rev 12:1-5) p.131.

3.5 years x 12 months = 42 months, x 30 days = 1260 days Equivalent numbers grouped differently. 1260/365 = 3.452 years ~ 3.5. 1290/365 = 3.53 years ~ 3.5.
3,5 It speaks of the first period, of our betrayal in heaven, or of what happened there, or of what began there (at the same time it talks about the whole story 3,5=42=1260).
42 It speaks of the 2nd period, close to God, but not in God (Cain and Abel). At the same time it talks about the whole history 3,5=42=1260 years, months, days
1260 Third Period. On Earth even passion (we cannot retain the Spirit).
1290 (Daniel 12). These 30 added (1260+30) surely to refer to the end time or denouement.
1335 (Daniel 12; blessed is he who waits for) Trial or Delivery for the Saved. 1335/365=3.65 (Justice in a Number)
It distributes between the days of a year, the hundredth part of a year for each day. This is not at all common in a mathematical operation.
2300 End of the Universe (Daniel 8). City of God rebuilt. 1000 years of purgatory are added for those who need it from the last to live in the world, until the restoration of the Sanctuary (Revelation 20,2 see p.223).
In addition 2300 evenings and mornings (as it says) are = 1260 days too! Counting the day without the nights, that is counting the most visible twilight (the civil twilight). This data is taken today with seconds by a complex mathematical formula that I do not think was available in the time of the prophet Daniel (see the Prophecy of Daniel and the Apocalypse or https://salidaypuestadelsol.com/sun/jerusalem).


As a relationship between Daniel and Revelation 11:1-13, note that:


Daniel

 

Apocalypse

To trample on the perpetual sacrifice, the desolating iniquity, the sanctuary and the army until 2300 evenings and mornings.

=

They will trample the Holy City for 42 weeks.

2300 Evenings and Mornings are 1260 days

=

42 Weeks = 1260 days

 

Well, both writings being by different authors, it is especially significant that they match these terms with the same dates, even more so, taking into account that the formula to get the hours of light, without the nights of a year, is very complicated. Even with the results in hand, I have had to use Excel to check that this is true, and only starting in certain months. This is because you have to calculate it in a specific place (I took Jerusalem) and start the period of 6,301 years in a specific stretch of months, as I say, for it to be fulfilled. The formula that calculates the sunrise and sunset in a place is in the web: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunrise_equation, you can get the results by days in the web that I have indicated in the previous page. I have already explained all this at the beginning of this section (The Sealed Prophecy of Daniel and the Apocalypse), but I find it very interesting. There are other equivalences that I have not put in this table, as for example the difference between 2300 and 1260 that comes to give us those "1000 years + a short time" that Revelation 20,3 also mentions since the sealing of the devil until a last struggle and the judgement of the living and the dead.
Rev 20:3  He cast him into the abyss, and shut him up, and set the seals upon him, that he should seduce the nations no more, until the thousand years should be fulfilled. Then he must be released for a short time.

The Revelation



A bit of numerology

Let’s talk about some numbers used in the Bible.

The number 1 symbolizes God for being singular.

The number 7 symbolizes perfection, the absolute. Everything was created in 7 days; after work (6 days) comes rest, just as heaven will come for those who are fortunate after the world.

Gospel of Matthew 18:21-22 Then Peter went up to him and said, ‘Lord, how often must I forgive my brother if he wrongs me? As often as seven times?’ Jesus answered, ‘Not seven, I tell you, but seventy-seven times.

It is perfection, what should be.

The number 3 symbolizes the whole. There are three times: past, present and future. 3 is forever.

The number 6 is the devil, or so they say. Actually, it represents the number of man and, as such, could well be the devil because, as I propose, we have ceased to be what we were in order to be mediocre men because of betrayal, instigated by the devil. Our being men, then, would be an achievement of the devil.

It is the number of man because God created man on the 6th day.

6 is also a perfect number = the sum of its divisors excepting itself => 1 + 2 + 3 = 6, which may also symbolize that 6 (the devil) replaces the three persons Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Superlatives

Revelation 13:16-18 Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, 17 so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name. 18 There is need for shrewdness here: anyone clever may interpret the number of the beast: it is the number of a human being, the number 666.

Moreover, the superlative that the Israelites made was to repeat the same word three times (Holy, Holy, Holy, is the Holiest). The same would be the case with the 6.
If we take away the superlative of the perfect 777, the Holy Trinity God 111 (superlative of 1 unique God and also 1+1+1 add up to 3 persons; 3 = wholeness, always, eternity. So 111 represents God the Trinity; one God, three persons), we are left with 666.
Perfect (777) - God (111) = Devil (666)
Which is basically what, I submit, happened in heaven. Being in the perfection of heaven, we tried to take God away deceived by the devil and found ourselves dead and also out of heaven together with the Devil. And at the same time it is the number of man, as I have already said, what we are now for having taken God from us.
Then: "for it is the number of a man. Its number is 666" means that it is the number of 'man' for man is the completion of the beast. As for some being marked with this number on the hand and others on the forehead (I think I explained it somewhere), it already happened in the rebellion in heaven, those who betrayed and acted or worked (Eve), on the hand, and those who did it in thought or doubt, on the forehead (Adam). Once emptied of God we remain dead, "thrown away"; we can only exercise our freedom when God gives us our prostheses, our bodies. That freedom is buying and selling. Thanks to God and the passion we men will then have the possibility to receive the Holy Spirit, not so the demons who only hate and have no body, they are not men, they do not have the mark of the beast 666 paradoxically. Gaining and losing the Holy Spirit (you do good or evil).
Also, as far as it is the figure of a man, it is the best way to say also, that the beast was a desire (angel) like us without talking about our origin in heaven or without really mentioning it. Finally, I believe that each 6 also represents each of the actors of this world, of those of us who fell here for leaving God: Adam 6, Eve (deaf) 6 and demons 6.
Now we will study the 7 seals, 7 angels with trumpets, 7 with bowls and 7 with nothing in their hand in which the 3 ½, our salvation history as Hosea did, and Daniel announced, in three and a half times 3,5 are shown independently. Surprising but true.
As a curiosity I give you this verse that speaks of a joint creation of all before (in) the creation of the world and how we are already marked (if not, how arbitrary it would be to inscribe some and not others).

Revelation 17:8 
'The beast you have seen was once alive and is alive no longer; it is yet to come up from the Abyss, but only to go to its destruction. And the people of the world, whose names have not been written since the beginning of the world in the book of life, will be astonished when they see how the beast was once alive and is alive no longer, and is still to come.




Relationship between 7 and 12.

Throughout the essay I have mentioned the number 7 a lot. Not only have we studied it as a representation of perfection, but we have also seen it as a classification of the size (soul) types of those of us on earth. This in turn made possible those 7 parallel paths guided by the mercy that God places among us to lead us to Himself, to save us. These are paths for the different "nations" or, rather, for those different sizes of soul. We gave the example of the different ages in men, which deserve different teaching and even different judgement (a child is not the same as an adult).
We have seen the number 7 representing these groups by size: in the seven Spirits of God, in the seven Churches (speaking cryptically), in the seven stars in his right hand, and in the seven seals—each of which represents one of these types or groups, incapable of receiving the Holy Spirit due to our betrayal, and which only Christ can open. Sometimes 7 nations and geographical features are listed (Isa 11:11), for example, to designate these ‘types’ in a veiled manner. 7 weapons (Eze 39:9), designating the 7 types of demons amongst us (which, after all, speak of the same 7 types, for there were fallen ones from each of the 7 groups). Not forgetting that God divides his ‘creation’ into seven days; (Really? If the sun, moon and stars were created on the fourth day, how was it known that those were the first days, the days when the first things were made? Of course, this is written to tell us about that grouping of creation).
These sevens with prophetic value or, at least, significant, are hidden among many other sevens that are used in the routine of Israel and that seem to be symbolic numbers; they are usually used in sacrifices (7 goats, 7 sheep...) and times of sacrifices or punishments. Maybe they are not only symbolic, after all, maybe it was normal that they offered, even without them knowing it, an animal for each group or type of those who fell from heaven...
Many more occurrences of the number 7 are found even in the physical world (7 types of stars equating that intensity of light to the size of the soul, 7 colours of the rainbow, symbol also of God's covenant with us...).
But we have left out the number 12, which is also very present in the symbolism of the Bible. And moreover, it is present from heaven no less.
I was saying, that the Tree of Life represents the Holy Spirit, and this was coveted by the rebellious angels, paradoxically becoming an idol among them. Thus, according to Revelation, the Tree of Life bears 12 fruits a year. They are not different fruits, but the same one that sprouts 12 times during the year. This distinguishes the same fruit or Holy Spirit in 12 groups.
Thus, in the Bible, this hierarchy or grouping will be seen several more times; I will try to establish the relationship or equating between both the hierarchy of 12 and the hierarchy of 7 (the latter so reviewed in this essay).  

But first let us review the hierarchy of 12 in the Bible.
When 12 is named, there is one of them that usually comes out wrong (this happened in a similar way with the 7 when, for example, it named geographical features, and one of them was the islands, apart and surrounded by the sea = death; the 7th day - creation - is mentioned apart from the others, in this one God does not act).
Likewise, in a way, we will see it in one of Jacob's 12 tribes, that of Benjamin, who after fighting against the rest of the tribes after committing a grave sin, were decimated and all their women killed. The survivors were assigned the women of a village of Israel whose men were killed by the other tribes for not coming before Yahweh. Subsequently they supplemented the number with other Israelites who were kidnapped. This ensured that the tribe of Benjamin did not disappear (Judges 19:22 - 21:25).
But as for the Tree of Life, is there really a fruit that has also been spoiled? Yes, so it was for many, for if we equate those fruits of the tree, not only to that hierarchy of angels in heaven, but to the fruits we know of the Holy Spirit: charity, joy, peace, patience, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, gentleness, meekness, faithfulness, modesty, continence and chastity. 12 in all, we see that the sin that brought iniquity into heaven was pride, that is, the fruit of humility or modesty failed in many. Later, because of this already faithfulness fails, but that is the sin that broke everything. Later, as with Benjamin, this humility will be restored in those who are saved. It is not that it failed as a fruit of the Spirit, but in the freedom of many this fruit was cast away.
But, speaking of the number 12, is there really a matching symbolism or is it just a coincidence that these coincide? Let's go to the New Testament. The twelve apostles of Christ, in which again there is a traitor, Judas, were not taken in this number because there were 12 tribes in Israel, Jesus did not take into account the tribe of each one (it seems, moreover, that by then several tribes had already disappeared), but he added them as he found them. It is true that in the A.T. there are many occurrences of the 12 due to the 12 tribes of Israel, but not in this case (there are 180 in the whole Bible).
And of course, what confirms this classification is Revelation, where we are told of the heavenly Jerusalem with 12 gates, and seated on 12 stones. Which would come to tell us something like heaven is supported by 12 pillars and has 12 entrances, which again leads me to that hierarchy or grouping, if you will, and again to those different ways to enter heaven (in this case there would be 12? now we will see this...).

Rev 12:1 A great sign appeared in heaven, a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and a crown of twelve stars on her head;
Rev 21:12 having a wall great and high; having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels; and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel.
Rev 21:14 The wall of the city stands on twelve stones, which bear the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
Rev 21:21 And the twelve gates are twelve pearls, each gate made of a single pearl; and the street of the city is pure gold, transparent as crystal.
Rev 22:2 In the midst of the street, on either side of the river, is a tree of life, bearing fruit twelve times, once every month; and the leaves thereof are for a medicine to the Gentiles.

But let us consider the second, Rev 21:12 and go back to the Gospel, where we find this said by Jesus:


Matt 19:28 Jesus said to them, "Truly I tell you, I say to you, you who have followed Me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man sits on His glorious throne, you also will sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

Don't we know that Christ is the Saviour of mankind? And didn't he know it? Of course He did, He always speaks globally: He refers to Himself as the "son of man"; He does not come to judge this world but to save it; salvation comes from the Jews... neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father... they will worship the Father in Spirit and Truth... (John 4,21-24). So why sit in judgement of the 12 tribes of Israel, who are insignificant, quantitatively speaking, compared to all the inhabitants of the world in all ages? And, above all, why does heaven have 12 gates and 12 pillars, and why does the Tree of Life have 12 fruits? It tells us about this hierarchy among the heavenly creatures, about heaven, about where we fell, about ourselves.
But then what are we left with, are there 7 types or 12? Well, it's a bit puzzling, because it speaks in a similar way referring to the 12 and the 7 in terms of hierarchy, but maybe these words of Jesus clarify something for us:

Mar 8:16-21 They were talking among themselves that they had no loaves. (17) When he realized this, he said to them, "Why are you talking about having no loaves? Do you not yet understand or comprehend? Is it that your minds are dull? (18) Having eyes you do not see, and having ears you do not hear? Do ye not remember (19) when I broke the five loaves for the five thousand? How many baskets full of fragments did ye gather?" "Twelve," they say to him. (20) "And when I broke the seven among the four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments did ye gather?" They say to him, "Seven."  21 And he continued, "Do you still not understand?"

Now let's play with numbers, I know that many of you don't like to do the maths, but let's see.
5 loaves for 5000 leaves 12 baskets              (5 : 5000 = 0,001)
7 loaves of bread for 4000 leaves 7 baskets   (7 : 4000 = 0,00175)

The bread also symbolises the Holy Spirit. It seems to say that by dividing the Spirit among those we are, there will remain groups of 12 or 7. In fact, dividing one and the other to the third decimal place gives the same result (0.001). It seems that he equates these values, the 12 and the 7. But in addition he gives first 5 and then 7 (5 loaves+7 loaves=12) as if to say: there are 5 left (+ 2 fish that we ignore now as we are talking about loaves Mark 6,41-43) in heaven that have exactly 0'001 each and on earth the 7:4000 that give those 0'001 and in addition, the 7 and the 5 again as 4th and 5th decimal ≅ in the 7 loaves is included the 7 and the 5, that is to say the 12. What’s more, each basket is full of pieces – doesn’t that seem to point to us? The Holy Spirit is distributed amongst those groups according to their size, and each group, within its own size, has a little. And yes, it’s true that in heaven there would also be believers of the same size as the seven groups that fell to earth, but as they are the same size, they aren’t mentioned; to do so would be to repeat the distribution, for there is a specific Holy Spirit (‘bread’) for each group. Well, perhaps I’m overthinking it, but it’s clear that the line ‘do you still not understand, and are your minds dulled (as in my case)?’ is said by Jesus for a reason.
To put a fine point on it, if we add up all the loaves and all the diners and divide them: (5+7):(5000+4000)= 0.001333..., reminding us of that periodically infinite 3 to God the Trinity. Would it be as if all the Spirit distributed, also among us, completed God entirely? Does this mean that if something of the Spirit dwells in us, that Spirit, with which we are in communion, is part, even if only in the smallest degree, of God the Trinity? And where does that leave us? 
Which suggests several theories, but I'll stick with the most important for me, and that is that Hierarchisation already from heaven. Perhaps the 7 and 12 are simply differentiated for the sake of secrecy until today, as it seems to equal them now. It would be too visible if 12 or 7 had always been used. We have already seen the 7 in our daily life, and not only in what was mentioned a moment ago, but also in the days of the week which are 7 (it took God 6 days to make the world and on the 7th day he rested); but we also see the 12 in our daily life, because 12 are the months of the year and 12 are the hours of the day. In the bible, the symbolic meaning of both, in terms of hierarchy (but not in terms of the perfection of the 7), seems to be the same.

Jua 11:9 Jesus answered, "Are not the hours of the day twelve? If one walks in the daytime, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world;

And given that a separate one is named in both groups, doesn't it refer to the same thing?

If we look at the hierarchy of angels as deduced from the Scriptures (it seems), we have: cherubim, dominations, principalities, seraphim, virtues, archangels, thrones, powers, and angels. Total 9. We could think that the structure is completed up to 12 in heaven by adding the devil (although perhaps this one doesn’t count and there are others of its size; we don’t know), since he was especially beautiful, above the cherubim I would say. And to continue above would be Jesus Christ as a heavenly creature and God the Father above them all. Which would fit with these fruits of the Holy Spirit. However, this does not fit with the verses that talk about judging all the tribes of Jacob, although it does fit with the one in Revelation that shows the Virgin Mary on the moon and a crown of 12 stars above her head, since she as a woman would be below the heavenly nature and above humanity (so those 12 stars are those groups, not so much the apostles as I have put out there).

So we will leave that as an option and as another possibility, we will place the three actors we have landed to complete that 12 (9+3). The demons, or fallen angels, the Adam, and the Eve. In this case, the 12 would tell us about the structure of Heaven, not only in terms of size, but also in terms of how it was left after the betrayal. And then our soul size as men would not be differentiated, because although it remains in us (reason for the parallel paths of God), also when those who arrive in heaven (we see this in the temple of Ezekiel, which is actually heaven p.89), we will be very different from what we were, very inferior to the angels even if we return there. In this respect Jesus also says to James and his brother (I think) when they ask to be at his side in heaven: "you do not know what you are asking".
But, even counting those additions, of us traitors, if that is the case, why reduce them to 7 on earth? That is to say, if there are 9 types of angels by size (or 10 if we count the devil), why reduce them to 7 on earth, or the other way round, let us first consider the opposite: why is the 12 also present on earth, with the 12 tribes of Jacob, the 12 baskets (joined to the other 7) or the 12 apostles (in addition to the 12 fruits of the Tree of Life, the 12 fruits of the Spirit, the 12 stars that crown the virgin, the 12 gates of heaven)? Maybe it is just to let us know what happened in heaven; just to tell us about our history there, or how it was after the betrayal. In this regard, the orphan psalms, too, describe for us 11 times + 1, the 3 ½ times of which I speak so much in the essay, with the general time, the one that is loose, the one that encompasses all the orphan psalms, being the most serious, for it forms its first time directly with the betrayal of Yahweh and his Anointed (1st and 2nd Psalms). See Orphan Psalms p.155.
As to why reduce them to 7 down here, perhaps it is because there was some kind of the higher ones that did not betray and are not present on earth, of course the devil has no way, so it would be ruled out.

Anyway, I was just interested in showing that relationship between the 12 and the 7. They are ways of reflecting that grouping already from heaven, which directly influence the ways that God has put here to save us, ways that teach us (or remind us of what we were, if you will), according to our original capacity in which God created us in heaven. This alone is enough to prove that God gives us related and coherent clues that speak in the same direction. And now I am not talking about the 3 ½ times, for these are no longer clues, they are clear teachings that, if known, can only be ignored by those who consciously want to turn their backs on God. He who has ears let him hear, for so says Jesus Christ:

Matt 10:32-33 "Whoever declares himself for me before men, I will declare myself for him also before my Father who is in heaven; 33 but whoever denies me before men, him will I also deny before my Father who is in heaven.

What will become of him who directly denies the Father before men, or rather denies men the possibility of seeing the Father? I shudder at the thought of putting myself in his shoes....




(This part is a bit more complicated, if you are just starting to decipher the Bible it would be good to move on prefigurations and postfigurations -Jacob's Ladder-)

The Seven Seals

Looking at these readings from the “dual” perspective gives new meanings, as I said, to many passages. In Revelation 5, it talks about everything in the book, more than just the seven seals. It asks who will be able to open it, and then says that it is the son of David, the slain lamb…

That book would be each one of us, on each of its pages. Thus in Jesus Christ all the souls of men, of every creed and nation, are healed. Those pages are all mankind and God's heavenly creatures (front and back, for as the firstborn [=first created], through His complacency [=maintains the Essence of God in its highest intensity] in God, the angels were created afterwards), and He opens for us the possibility of returning to God, life itself, He opens the world and the Universe as the stage of a History of Salvation which without Him could not have been given; for He frees us from the former righteousness (heavenly, for that was our nature before the betrayal) by making a new nature for us fit to receive the Holy Spirit. He makes everything new, we can start from scratch.
Revelation is written without time, for it finally predicts the end of the world. Jesus Christ is described in the future as the one who will open the 7 seals by his sacrifice. This is like saying that without the passion of Jesus Christ the world would not have existed. From a future for the origin of the world, without Him it would disappear to our past in the world. This is so because God is outside of time, and because Christ already offers Himself to save the desires (us treacherous angels) after our rebellion in heaven. Thus, God's plan to give us our new nature to try to save us begins before the world and the Universe. Furthermore, the 7 Seals also symbolise the seven types of angels by size (or ages, if you will). Because in the world, as in heaven, there are people of 7 sizes of soul, so there are demons of 7 sizes, not all are the same. God has set 7 paths or religions for 7 sizes, and we will have to fight against our particular size of demon. Hence, these different paths; we need different training, because a child is not required to do the same as an adult, and a special operations soldier is prepared differently to solve more difficult missions. We were blocked or sealed like those seals, which only Christ could open so that the Holy Spirit could enter again.
In chapter 6 he continues with the seven seals. These now seem to speak chronologically of the history of mankind, but starting from heaven as God's creatures were left after the betrayal. To understand the seals it is helpful to read these verses from Chapter 4 which speak of heaven and its powers.

Imagine for a moment that these “living creatures”, full of eyes, are the peoples or types of angels according to their faithfulness and size, (this will be understood better later in the seals). Then, in the first four seals it will tell us about the "sides", let's say, present in heaven after the betrayal. Let us think that "living creatures all studded with eyes" seems to describe an essence, or something common, with different people (one does not imagine the eyes ahead and behind coordinated, but each one to his own).

Revelation 5:1-14
1 I saw in the right hand of Him who sat on the throne a book written inside and on the back, sealed up with seven seals. 2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, "Who is worthy to open the book and to break its seals?" 3 And no one in heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the book or to look into it. 4 Then I began to weep greatly because no one was found worthy to open the book or to look into it; 5 and one of the elders said to me, "Stop weeping; behold, the Lion that is from the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome so as to open the book and its seven seals." 6 And I saw between the throne (with the four living creatures ) and the elders a Lamb standing, as if slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God, sent out into all the earth. 7 And He came and took the book out of the right hand of Him who sat on the throne. 8 When He had taken the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each one holding a harp and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. 9 And they sang a new song, saying, "Worthy are You to take the book and to break its seals; for You were slain, and purchased for God with Your blood men from every tribe and tongue and people and nation. 10 "You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to our God; and they will reign upon the earth." Angels Exalt the Lamb 11 Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne and the living creatures and the elders; and the number of them was myriads of myriads, and thousands of thousands, 12 saying with a loud voice, "Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing." 13 And every created thing which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all things in them, I heard saying, "To Him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb, be blessing and honor and glory and dominion forever and ever." 14 And the four living creatures kept saying, "Amen." And the elders fell down and worshiped. [New American Standard Bilbe]

Revelation 4:5-8
 5 Flashes of lightning were coming from the throne, and the sound of peals of thunder, and in front of the throne there were seven flaming lamps burning, the seven Spirits of God. 6 In front of the throne was a sea as transparent as crystal. In the middle of the throne and around it, were four living creatures all studded with eyes, in front and behind.
7 The first living creature was like a lion, the second like a bull, the third living creature had a human face, and the fourth living creature was like a flying eagle.
8 Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was studded with eyes all the way round as well as inside; and day and night they never stopped singing: Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God, the Almighty; who was, and is and is to come.’

Opening of the 7 Seals

6:1    Then, in my vision, I saw the Lamb break one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures shout in a voice like thunder, ‘Come!’
2    Immediately I saw a white horse appear, and its rider was holding a bow; he was given a victor’s crown and he went away, to go from victory to victory.

The first seal (6:1), has a Horseman riding a white horse with a crown and is the victor and will be the victor. It seems to refer to Jesus Christ, first wish of God who remains in Him and vice versa. The beginning of everything, even for the angels. The 1st Living Creature would be the people of God, the faithful Angels => like a lion.

6:3   When he broke the second seal, I heard the second living creature shout, ‘Come!’
6:4   And out came another horse, bright red, and its rider was given this duty: to take away peace from the earth and set people killing each other. He was given a huge sword.

The second seal (6:3), has a Rider on the back of the red horse. Luzbel is also granted freedom and he uses or will use it to remove peace from the (earth = heaven). He will decide to rise up in rebellion. He has a big sword; this can refer to his power or to his size, I believe we all have different sizes of souls, I will explain this in the parable of the talents. I think Luzbel must have been of considerable size. In the Bible he is described as a beautiful and fair angel before the rising. The 2nd Living One would be the fallen angels => Horned steer, but not with the presence of a bull.

6:5   When he broke the third seal, I heard the third living creature shout, ‘Come!’ Immediately I saw a black horse appear, and its rider was holding a pair of scales;
6:6   and I seemed to hear a voice shout from among the four living creatures and say, ‘A day’s wages for a quart of corn, and a day’s wages for three quarts of barley, but do not tamper with the oil or the wine.’

The third seal (6:5),has a Horseman riding a black horse. With a scale. I believe it is the Holy Spirit because he is in charge of measuring our capacity of "God", by instructions of God himself => "voice from the midst of the 4 living ones"; thus the 3rd Living One: it seems to be us, from the rest of God's desires =>"he has a face like a man". Of us who were then made man. It speaks of capacities measured per denarius, just like the parable of the talents as I was saying. He took the Essence of God from us, taking care not to damage it (wine, oil represent the Spirit). He left us our empty soul measured by sizes (denarii), for the Adam and Eve (wheat, barley, or vice versa); it does not speak of the Spirit (bread, wheat) but of what it occupies (litres) = empty. * In other translations it says ‘do not waste the oil and wine.

6:7    When he broke the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature shout, ‘Come!’
6:8   Immediately I saw another horse appear, deathly pale, and its rider was called Death, and Hades followed at its heels. They were given authority over a quarter of the earth, to kill by the sword, by famine, by plague and through wild beasts.

The fourth seal (6:7),has a Rider on the greenish horse, called death and is followed by Hades. 'Death' is the result of betrayal, Hades the 'dead' who persecute or poison the Adams, (with power over 1/4) and also the Adams (Hades’= abode of the dead’ follows, Adam is also emptied). The 4th Living, are those who listened to Satan, the Eves, those who cannot listen here. It is the eagle as a representation of death, both for the one who hunts (demons, Eve afterwards) and for the hunted (Eve Adam) =>as an eagle in flight, on the lookout.

6:9   When he broke the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of all the people who had been killed on account of the Word of God, for witnessing to it.   10   They shouted in a loud voice, ‘Holy, true Master, how much longer will you wait before you pass sentence and take vengeance for our death on the inhabitants of the earth?’
6:11 Each of them was given a white robe, and they were told to be patient a little longer, until the roll was completed of their fellow-servants and brothers who were still to be killed as they had been.

The fifth seal (6:9). There is no longer a horse. It is no longer shown by a Living Creature. All of the positions or participants have been described. In this seal, it speaks of those who fall in the battle of heaven against the followers of Lucifer and the justice they claim.

6:12  In my vision, when he broke the sixth seal, there was a violent earthquake and the sun went as black as coarse sackcloth; the moon turned red as blood all over,   13   and the stars of the sky fell onto the earth like figs dropping from a fig tree when a high wind shakes it; 6:14  the sky disappeared like a scroll rolling up and all the mountains and islands were shaken from their places.
6:15  Then all the kings of the earth, the governors and the commanders, the rich people and the men of influence, the whole population, slaves and citizens, hid in caverns and among the rocks of the mountains.
6:16  They said to the mountains and the rocks, ‘Fall on us and hide us away from the One who sits on the throne and from the retribution of the Lamb.
6:17  For the Great Day of his retribution has come, and who can face it?’
7:1    Next I saw four angels, standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the world to keep them from blowing over the land or the sea or any tree.   2    Then I saw another angel rising where the sun rises, carrying the seal of the living God; he called in a powerful voice to the four angels whose duty was to devastate land and sea,
7:3    ‘Wait before you do any damage on land or at sea or to the trees, until we have put the seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God.’

The sixth seal (6:12).An earthquake… the stars fall from the sky and the sky is rolled up like a scroll… and what follows. The fall of the wavering angels (stars) and of the traitors. There is no longer a heaven for them; they fall to the ‘earth’, and the earth will not be destroyed until the servants of our God are marked. This is the Third Time, the earth, but it also seems to include the Half-Time (in Chapter 7: they will wash their robes in the blood of the Lamb), since this will also take place on Earth. This is a way of showing that, for heaven, salvation is everything that happens on earth (3rd + ½ times). However, although the 7th seal theoretically begins in 8:1, in reality it begins in 7:2.

Start of the Opening
Rev 7:2-10 Then I saw another angel coming up from the east, bearing the seal of the living God; and he cried out in a loud voice to the four angels who had been given authority to harm the earth and the sea: (3) “Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees, until we have marked the foreheads of the servants of our God with the seal.” (4) And I heard the number of those who were marked with the seal: one hundred and forty-four thousand sealed, from all the tribes of the children of Israel... (10) And they cry out in a loud voice: “Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb.”
The Opening is now over
8:1    The Lamb then broke the seventh seal, and there wassilence in heaven for about half an hour.  

The seventh seal (7:2 - 8:1). Here the angels bear the Seal of the Living God, who is Jesus on the cross, to mark those who belong to God (since, from the Passion onwards, man can receive the Holy Spirit). This marks the beginning of the ½ Time of Salvation (7th seal). Although it says in 8:1, ‘When he opened the 7th Seal, there was silence for half an hour’; why?
Firstly, because this is fulfilled: it is like saying that this morning a doctor came to visit and vaccinated the family. And then I make a fresh start and say, when the family have been vaccinated …  (an event already past in 7:2).
Secondly, because if this were not the case, the seventh seal would merely be a half-hour wait; it would be empty.
The half-hour is a turning point, a separation of the subsequent narratives of our story into three and a half periods (with the Trumpets and the Bowls). It is a turning point because, after recounting it three times (the three and a half times: seals, trumpets and bowls), it will speak of the new heaven for all, with these final passages (of the new heaven…) constituting the half-time in general. Thus, in Revelation, the 3½ Times appear three times, and then again in a more general form comprising all the verses of Revelation, so that it is bound and well bound.

The 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse

Only the first Living Creature is in the middle (of Him), true to His Essence, and the Horseman, Christ also remains in Him, represented by the lion and the crown of victory. The others are around the throne. The distance is not specified. They are the angels, archangels and faithful beings.
The red horse also seems obvious, with the horns and all.
The most complex is the black one, which refers to the Spirit. It seems that the voice is God, because it says that it comes from among the four living creatures. The living creatures are us (in human form). It says that it distributes the volume (litres) of our soul, or our capacity to receive the Holy Spirit. Represented by black because what it does, after all, is take away Life, the Holy Spirit, or at least distribute what remains of the soul without the Spirit; it measures us and provides the size of our empty ‘bags’. It says: ‘A litre of wheat for a denarius, three litres of barley for a denarius. But do not harm the oil and the wine.’ (quart is here a measure of volume, in Greek χοῖνιξ, choinix, widely translated as litre). This quantification refers to the seven different measures of the soul that we possess, and it organises the seven paths or religions suitable for the return to God of each of the seven nations. Now, the distinction between the Eves—who will be unable to hear on earth because they listened to the devil in heaven—and the Adams—who fell from heaven for love—is seen in the distinction between barley and wheat. The Wheat refers to the Adams, since it is more precious than the barley. It says, ‘Do not harm the oil or the wine’, because at this moment they are being taken from us ‘carefully’ to leave us empty; that is why it speaks of the volume of ‘grain’, the volume of spirit or soul that remains within us. This withdrawn Holy Spirit is the one who will be distributed among those who emerge victorious from the world’s trial (Rev 19:17–18), since many others will not succeed.


The greenish one is the only one with a name, so I believe he is the very embodiment of those who have followed him. It is death. And its followers (the Living One) are those who pursue Life to destroy it both in heaven and on earth. They are the Eves who listened to Satan and on earth will have ears only for idols (the world); they will not be able to hear the Word, and they are also the devils. They have power over a quarter of all people, who I believe are the Adams. Those who kill are: the beasts of the earth (the demons), the plague (the Eves persuade or infect), the sword—I do not know if this refers to the battle in heaven itself, since there are always those who fight to defend their loved ones, not for ‘political’ reasons; or to the tongue; or if it refers to the fear of death; hunger—that craving to take more of the Holy Spirit, to want to be as great as God Himself—the driving force behind all these predators. They are represented by eagles in flight (lying in wait for Adam).
It seems clear then, that we already existed before the world and when we stopped being, God gives us the world to try to recover us. This is the conclusion I have come to because I get to the same place here as from Genesis and other passages of the Bible. Everything is confirmed in the first chapters of the Apocalypse. What do we want to deny? Everything, even the obvious can be denied in our freedom.
It is thus fulfilled that Jesus Christ breaks the seven seals (initiating creation) and even opens up the possibility of receiving the Holy Spirit into our new, redeemed nature (the reverse side of the pages), that is, humanity. And He not only opens the seals pertaining to us, but also those of the entire heavenly creation (the front of the book’s pages), since, because Jesus Christ was the first to be created by God, and because He was pleasing to Him in His infinite love (and thus maintains His own Essence), everything else is created. He validated the heavenly nature just as He later validated human nature.

Now let's look at this part from what it really wants to express which are those 3 ½ times of our salvation history.
1st Time in the first four Seals.
We see that these seals tell us about the rebellion in heaven; they not only describe some of those involved in the battle, but also what happens to them during the rebellion. The first: the victor; the second: the devil, who will be left with the sword to tempt and kill us; the third: the man from whom the Holy Spirit is taken away; the fourth: a reference to the Eves (since it was through them that the Adams fell), who will not be able to receive the Spirit; the plague is death (later, the deaf), and it is also contagious.
2nd time in the fifth Seal.
The fifth seal, without a horse, tells us that after the rebellion God could have annihilated all the rebels by heeding the blood shed for justice, but He does not do so. He wants to wait to tell the rest of the faithful.
3rd time in the sixth Seal and, apparently, ½ time (seen from heaven).
The Sixth Seal is our fall to earth and seems to encompass the ½ time, the Passion (the blood of the Lamb). The falling stars are us, the Eves, the demons.

Rev 6:15-17  And the kings of the earth, the great men, the commanders, the rich, the powerful, and everyone, slave and free, hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains.  (16) And they said to the mountains and the rocks, ‘Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb.  (17)  For the great Day of His wrath has come, and who can stand?

Those caves and crags in the mountains represent the earth.

Rev 7:1 After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth, so that no wind might blow on the earth or on the sea or on any tree.

What follows immediately afterwards speaks of that earth (4 angels, 4 cardinal points) which ‘holds back the wind’ so that the Holy Spirit may not blow upon anyone, nor upon the sea = death (the demons), of course; the earth may refer to the Eves, since they cannot be separated from it (which is why they are also called cattle); the pines to the Adams. For in the Third Age, mankind in general will not be able to receive the Holy Spirit.

Rev 7:2-3 Then I saw another angel ascending from the East, bearing the seal of the living God; and he cried out in a loud voice to the four angels to whom it had been entrusted to inflict harm on the earth and the sea:  (3) “Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees, until we have marked the foreheads of the servants of our God with the seal.”

This is where the ½ Time, the 7th seal, truly begins. That seal of the Living God is Jesus Christ, who brings the Holy Spirit. He will mark the Adams and mankind in general who come to hear God (the Eves will be able to hear God and receive the Holy Spirit through the work of some Adam, just as the reverse happened in heaven when they caused the Adams to lose the Holy Spirit by following them). Note that it first says: to the four angels who had been charged with causing harm to the earth and the sea; and then in (3) it includes the trees. This, which seems trivial, may refer to the original heavenly commission given to those ‘four angels’, which now, on earth, due to the justice demanded by the devil, includes the Adams. For at the beginning, those who were to be destroyed were the demons and the Eves, but they lie and, through their tricks, involve the Adams, who also fell to earth. And why does it say, ‘(3) Do not cause harm to the earth…’? Because, following Christ’s Passion, human nature is now capable of receiving the Holy Spirit, to such an extent that Jesus descends into hell to gather all the righteous who were previously unable to receive the Spirit. The demons have already lost their shield. It could all have ended there, but justice must be fully done for the rest of the Adams and Eves who did not pass through the world before the Passion. That is why it says ‘(3)… until we have marked the foreheads of the servants of our God with the seal’, that is, the entire ½ Time. This seal of the Holy Spirit contrasts with the mark of the Beast; the fact that it is placed on the forehead (like the mark of the Beast on the foreheads of the Adams) seems to imply that ‘the servants of our God’ to whom it refers are especially the Adams who have yet to pass through the world. This is a recurring theme in the Bible: the Adams are those whom God most wishes to recover, for they fell for love. We shall see something surprising in this regard at the end of Revelation, in chapter 19 (even those Adams who do not succeed, who do not take flight and remain bound to the world, will have a different fate from the demons, and from those Eves who do not even listen when the knowledge of God is spread).

If the 6th Seal reveals this ambiguity, which seems to encompass the ½ Time of Salvation (Ch. 7:3–17), it is because the seals are viewed from heaven (the 1st General Time), and our salvation will also take place on Earth, not just during the 3rd Time (specific to the Seals). However, these verses already belong to the 7th Seal:

Rev 7:9-17 Then I looked, and there was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, from every race, people, and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands. 10 And they cry out with a loud voice, "Salvation is of our God, who sits on the throne, and of the Lamb." 11 And all the angels standing around the throne of the Elders and the four Living Ones fell down before the throne, with their faces to the ground, and worshiped God 12 saying, "Amen. Praise, glory, wisdom, thanksgiving, honour, power and might, to our God for ever and ever. Amen." 13 One of the Elders spoke up and said to me, "Those who are clothed in white robes, who are they, and where have they come from? "14 I answered him, "My Lord, you will know." He answered me, "Those are they who come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 15 Therefore they are before the throne of God, worshipping him day and night in his sanctuary; and he who sits on the throne will spread his tent over them. 16 They shall hunger no more, neither shall they thirst any more; neither shall they be troubled by the sun, nor by any heat. 17 For the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will feed them and lead them to the springs of the waters of life. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."

Thus, in:

Rev 8:1 When the Lamb opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour...

It seems to be continuing to tell us something about what happened when the seventh seal was opened. In other words, it must begin earlier, as it would not be telling us anything otherwise. Just that half-hour pause. The seventh seal actually begins in 7:2-3 when the ½ Time begins. However, everything is presented in such a confusing way so that we can see that global salvation from heaven as the entire period of the Earth (3rd Time + ½ Time), as I said before; also to keep it hidden. We shall see that the seals, trumpets and bowls coincide.

_

The structure is repeating itself!

7 Seals + 7 Trumpets + 7 Angels ½ + 7 Cups

Once again, all the times are listed in detail after the ½ hour on trumpets, glasses

As I was saying, that half-hour serves as a break to inform us that everything is going to be repeated, and also to allow those 3½ periods—counted out later in the Trumpets and Bowls—to elapse. Thus, at the end of the Apocalypse, it speaks to us of the new Heaven for the redeemed, this ending constituting a final half-time that completes a general narrative form, using all the verses of the Apocalypse to recount the 3 ½ Times once again. In the Apocalypse, then, we see these 3½ times counted independently three times, and another general framework to encompass the entire Apocalypse and make it clear that it is written in this key.

We used to think of the four horsemen of the apocalypse as Victory, War, Famine and Death, but in reality it has little to do with that.

We will now see that there are 2 more structures of 7 angels that also independently represent the 3 ½ times. If you like, you can think of each angel with his trumpet/cup as speaking of his corresponding seal, and then you will see that they coincide. In reality it is because they are also describing what happened, in their own way. The Book of Revelation mentions the “3.5 times” three times in specific passages and once more in general terms throughout all of its verses.

Revelation too, as with Genesis, Daniel, Ezekiel, Hosea... is arranged to represent those 3 ½ times that are our salvation history since our betrayal in heaven. Which, again, is amazing.

  We will also see that these structures have points in common. For example, just before the seventh seal and the seventh trumpet an Angel appears (from the east in one case - Rev 7:2 - where the sun = God rises, and from heaven in the other - Rev 10:1) who speaks of what the prophets will do and suffer on our earth. These pauses (also: the first Woe is past, Blessed is he who stays awake and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked and his shame be seen"...) are changes of step or time.


First structure of 7 Angels (these have trumpets) and structure of 7 Angels with cups, compared.

I’ll start with the angels of the trumpets compared to those of the cups. Actually the group of 7 angels with nothing in their hands (trumpets or cups) goes in the middle, but I will put it later and so we will see it better.

1st Time in Trumpets and Cups

First Trumpet

Rev 8:7  The first angel blew his trumpet, and there followed hail and fire, mixed with blood, which fell on the earth; and a third of the earth was burnt up, and a third of the trees were burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.

First Bowl

Rev 16:2  So the first angel went and poured his bowl on the earth, and foul and evil sores came upon the men who bore the mark of the beast and worshiped its image.

First Trumpet. Hail and fire destroy a third of the earth; trees… are scorched. Those trees are us, all the angels who rose up. Once alive, now dead or without the Spirit. Thus, the hail and fire mixed with blood speak to us of the betrayal and iniquity that lead to the death of life, to its loss. It indicates that, of the angels (formerly all loyal) represented by the first seal of the white horse, one-third are lost. This corresponds to the first bowl, which brings about malignant sores upon them, through which blood—and life—is lost. Through the “broken”, the Spirit departs. “Ulcer”, moreover, speaks to us of a wound that does not heal, because in reality it has no cure; we shall never again be angels. We shall have to pass into a new nature that is validated by Jesus Christ. Regardless of whether this falls within the first specific time of trumpets and bowls—which together already determine the general order of the 3½ times—the ‘man’ is named in the bowls to distinguish the Bowls as the third general time on Earth. This is clearer in the final diagram.

Second Trumpet

Rev 8:8  The second angel blew his trumpet, and something like a great mountain, burning with fire, was thrown into the sea; 9  and a third of the sea became blood, a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.

Second Bowl.

Rev 16,3  The second angel poured his bowl into the sea, and it became like the blood of a dead man, and every living thing died that was in the sea.

Second Trumpet. A great mountain falls burning into the sea. Mountain speaks of something high and big. And it falls burning (full of hatred) into the sea (death of being). It refers to Satan who falls from Angel of the greatest and most beautiful (see Ezekiel 28:12-17) to the worst because of his iniquity, which he infects. Through his actions, he causes many to be won over; many who had water mixed with salt (sea) rather than pure water, which refers to hatred, wickedness or simply greed. In this case he is equating the sea to the revolted since they are dead, and the sea symbolises death, as a kind of metaphor. These are all those who hated as Luzbel, the rest of those who will be fallen angels. It says that the third part of the fish, (who were once living angels), die as such, and their vessels (or persons with freedom) are destroyed; the demons now only hate, they will not keep their person with freedom as we keep it even when we are fallen on earth. It has equivalence with the second cup. When he speaks of water or sea he usually speaks of Essence (water) or of the turbid state of "Essence" (sea). The sea represents here, as I say, the fallen angels and the consequence for them is the same, "blood as of the dead" and death of the soul. And both trumpet and cup speak of the 2nd seal, the rider on the red horse, or what is the same of them in rebellion; this is part of the 1st time which is repeated 3 times (the 3 ½ times). Note that, once again, the bowls are associated with something specific to men: blood, to indicate that the bowls will constitute that third general phase (on earth).

Third Trumpet

Rev 8:10 The third angel blew his trumpet, and a great star fell from heaven, blazing like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the fountains of water. 11  The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters became wormwood, and many men died of the water, because it was made bitter.

Third Bowl

Rev 16,4 The third angel poured his bowl into the rivers and the fountains of water, and they became blood. 5  And I heard the angel of water say, «Just art thou in these thy judgments, thou who art and wast, O Holy One. 6  For men have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink. It is their due!» 7  And I heard the altar cry, «Yea, Lord God the Almighty, true and just are thy judgments!»

Third Trumpet. A big star falls. Again it is the devil (Wormwood), which falls on fresh water; the Adams, they did not hate. He repeats it again because now he speaks of the effect on the Adams, and also on the Eves. Let us bear in mind that the rebellion, iniquity or hatred comes out of Satan and his; then he convinces or poisons Eve. That is to say, when the demon, the great star, falls, he makes the pure water of the Eves turn into "Wormwood"; it will be later when the Eves make the Adams fall, also by the first "push" of Satan. All this is as it then follows in his cup, an action of justice, including the emptying of the Adams because these, although for love, were also traitors and so it says here we also intervened in the battle of heaven. Trumpet and cup correspond to the rider of the black horse who divides the Adam, Eve according to their guilt; i.e. they also speak of the rebellion of heaven 1st Time. Once again, in the bowls, blood is mentioned; in the trumpets (2nd General Judgement), heaven is mentioned (they fall into the sea = death).

Fourth Trumpet

Rev 8:12 The fourth angel blew his trumpet, and a third of the sun was struck, and a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of their light was darkened; a third of the day was kept from shining, and likewise a third of the night.

Fourth Bowl

Rev 16,8 The fourth angel poured his bowl on the sun, and it was allowed to scorch men with fire; 9  men were scorched by the fierce heat, and they cursed the name of God who had power over these plagues, and they did not repent and give him glory.

Fourth Trumpet. A third of the sun, moon and stars were wounded. The day loses a third part of its brightness. This is a consequence of the same thing, the Water or the Essence of God disappears from these. I won't say that it became a shadow because I don't think that can happen. I think it fled from them or from us I should say. So, the lack of light is darkness. If in the 2nd seal (red horse) it spoke of the demons and Satan, and in the 3rd of the traitorous Adam and Eve, here it encompasses all the dead (it is the green horse, death). The corresponding cup also speaks of this, although it says: "and he was appointed to scorch men with fire"; which is the same thing, but now he makes a nuance and it is that the demons will then scorch us on earth, even though we are part of this same group of God's emptied ones, those who darken the sun. He then refers to the continual temptations experienced without the Holy Spirit. By saying that day and night lost light, it specifies both Adam and Eve (day) and the demons (night). We see that although the 3 ½ times are drawn in the 3 structures (seals, trumpets and bowls), in the trumpets the consequences are shown more, so that they will be reflected more on the earth. Once again, “men” in the Cups to determine the overall 3rd Time in all Cups.

Before the 5th there is a pause or separation between the first 4 and the other 3:

Rev 8:13  Then I looked, and I heard an eagle crying with a loud voice, as it flew in midheaven, «Woe, woe, woe to those who dwell on the earth, at the blasts of the other trumpets which the three angels are about to blow!»

Separation

Now an eagle marks a separation (8.13). Woe to the inhabitants of the earth when the voices of the trumpets of the other three angels sound! Factions have already been distinguished by how they have acted in the battle in the heavens.

Fith Trumpet

Rev 9:1  And the fifth angel blew his trumpet, and I saw a star fallen from heaven to earth, and he was given the key of the shaft of the bottomless pit; 2  he opened the shaft of the bottomless pit, and from the shaft rose smoke like the smoke of a great furnace, and the sun and the air were darkened with the smoke from the shaft. 3  Then from the smoke came locusts on the earth, and they were given power like the power of scorpions of the earth;4  they were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any green growth or any tree, but only those of mankind who have not the seal of God upon their foreheads; 5  they were allowed to torture them for five months, but not to kill them, and their torture was like the torture of a scorpion, when it stings a man. 6  And in those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will long to die, and death will fly from them. 7  In appearance the locusts were like horses arrayed for battle; on their heads were what looked like crowns of gold; their faces were like human faces, 8  their hair like women’s hair, and their teeth like lions’ teeth; 9  they had scales like iron breastplates, and the noise of their wings was like the noise of many chariots with horses rushing into battle. 10  They have tails like scorpions, and stings, and their power of hurting men for five months lies in their tails. 11  They have as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit; his name in Hebrew is Abad’don, and in Greek he is called Apol’lyon.

2nd Time in Trumpets and Cups

Fifth Bowl

Rev 16:10  The fifth angel poured his bowl on the throne of the beast, and its kingdom was in darkness; men gnawed their tongues in anguish 11 and cursed the God of heaven for their pain and sores, and did not repent of their deeds.

Fifth Trumpet. We have already been defeated. It is the second time when we are not in God but also not on earth. Beginning with the fall of satan, it indicates that he will be the one who produces the "smoke". And this smoke is the blackmail or the demand for justice by claiming the same fate as the other traitors. In reality it is a lie because we are not all the same, some of us betray for love; the smoke obscures the vision like the lies. This is what is described in the trumpet as "the key to the abyss". This will cause God the righteous one par excellence to revive the already vanquished demons (the locusts) to justify us in the world. As a result of all this, the demons in the world will have no physical form and no freedom. They will torment us in the future (4 It was said to them… 6 men will seek… since we are in the 2nd time speaking of the 3rd) for a specific time on earth.
Here it seems to mention men in order to refer to the specific third time (man in the world) of the trumpets (man is also named in the Bowls). It also seems to designate the locust as the fruit of this abduction (they have us captive so that they may be saved), which is why it has the crown (of a king) of the Adams, the hair of a woman of the Eves, and constitutes a shield or armour for the demons (iron). These locusts will not only torment us in the next time; now, for us, they are devouring the ‘earth’ on which we stand, so that we may fall into the third time, in our world. 

3th Time in Trumpets and Cups

Sixth Trumpet

Rev 9:13-21 Then the sixth angel blew his trumpet, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar before God, 14  saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, «Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphra’tes.» 15  So the four angels were released, who had been held ready for the hour, the day, the month, and the year, to kill a third of mankind. 16  The number of the troops of cavalry was twice ten thousand times ten thousand; I heard their number. 17  And this was how I saw the horses in my vision: the riders wore breastplates the color of fire and of sapphire and of sulphur, and the heads of the horses were like lions’ heads, and fire and smoke and sulphur issued from their mouths. 18  By these three plagues a third of mankind was killed, by the fire and smoke and sulphur issuing from their mouths. 19  For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails; their tails are like serpents, with heads, and by means of them they wound. 20  The rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands nor give up worshiping demons and idols of gold and silver and bronze and stone and wood, which cannot either see or hear or walk; 21  nor did they repent of their murders or their sorceries

Sixth Bowl.

Rev 16:12 The sixth angel poured his bowl on the great river Euphra’tes, and its water was dried up, to prepare the way for the kings from the east. 13  And I saw, issuing from the mouth of the dragon and from the mouth of the beast and from the mouth of the false prophet, three foul spirits like frogs; 14  for they are demonic spirits, performing signs, who go abroad to the kings of the whole world, to assemble them for battle on the great day of God the Almighty. 15  («Lo, I am coming like a thief! Blessed is he who is awake, keeping his garments that he may not go naked and be seen exposed!») 16  And they assembled them at the place which is called in Hebrew Armaged’don.

Sixth Trumpet. he Euphrates clearly refers to the Holy Spirit, the great river of fresh water. The 4 angels can speak to us of cardinal points or the whole of the river Euphrates.  Although it seems to make a distinction with the previous trumpets; now it is not the devil (Wormwood or a big star that falls), now it is 4 angels that are next to the Euphrates River that eliminate that 1/3. It tells us that this annihilation is at God's command. It tells us of the fall of all of us to the earth. At this seal we will be in our world, although right now it is talking about the passage from heaven to earth; and of course, without the Holy Spirit. We arrive dead.

Thus, it is the cavalry who drive us out; their colours and the words that come from their mouths refer to the cause of our expulsion: fire against Satan, for the flame is the most destructive, intense and painful thing; he is the architect of blackmail based on his lies and, above all, on those of the Eves (the Adams are just as guilty as we are; we want their fate). Smoke to the Eves, for they are the ones who lend weight and credibility to the lies and traps of the demons + Satan + the Eves themselves, which cause our expulsion (of the Adams), and Jacinto speaks to us of the Adams. Sulphur represents the demons themselves, or else demons are exchanged for Satan, sulphur for fire (it could be otherwise, but it seems to be so).

Then, the sixth cup coincides, it speaks of the Euphrates receding (withdrawing) to make way for the kings from the east (= where the sun rises), the faithful angels. Once again, it refers to effects, first in heaven, where we are already the traitors. Then on earth, where it refers to those who will be a test for the Adams. The unclean spirits come out of the dragon, who is Satan, from the Beast where the demons are, and from the false prophet, who are the Eves. Although the Beast normally encompasses all those involved in the rebellion (Eves + demons + Adams), here a distinction is made in order to name Satan (the dragon), who is not actually included in the Beast (but is ‘the one who gives it power’), and above all so as not to include the Adams (who betrayed out of love), from whom no unclean spirits come forth (this device is used for the same purpose in Rev 19:19 to distinguish the final punishment of the loathsome Adams (who did not separate themselves from the world) from that of the Eves who also failed to do so, plus the demons).
On the other hand, these unclean spirits are the traps and lies that these beings (Satan + demons + Eves) use to ensnare the Adams and make them share their own fate (which they know for certain will be better than their own). He calls this: “they go to the kings (Adams) of the whole world to summon them to the great battle of the Great Day of Almighty God 16 They summoned them to the place called in Hebrew Armageddon” => The battle will be in the world. Here we Adams have fallen, ensnared in the traps (evil spirits) of the Eves, the demons and Satan (we have not accepted this willingly; we have been summoned by force).

So the false prophets are the Eves, for they ‘preach’ an idol to the Adams (knowledge, being like God, the apple); thus, a false god is preached, a false prophet. This is what happened in heaven and is why we fell; it will continue to happen here in the world, where the Eves laugh and push the Adams away from God. Both the trumpet and the bowl coincide with their seal, in which, following an earthquake, the stars (angels) fall from the sky… the kings hide… It is our fall to earth (heaven withdraws). In (15) ‘Behold, I am coming like a thief. Blessed is the one who stays awake…’ is a warning of what we must do on earth.
In this Bowl, he does not mention men; he refers directly to the world.

Separation

Now he makes another small separation, in which it speaks of an angel who gives a little book to John, who devours it, and which tastes like honey but which will embitter his bowels. It also speaks of two important witnesses who are always in front of God, who I don't know who it refers to. He tells John to seal what he has heard, that when the Mystery of God is consummated, something that by his will is revealed here, the end of time will come. Well, I reckon that in about 7 years from when this is known the end will come, about 2025 (God only knows). What would be the point of continuing if God's concealment has ended? In this section we also find Revelation 11:1-13, which tells us about what is happening on earth; when it says "measuring the sanctuary" it refers to marking the faithful or waiting for the result of our test in the world.

Rev 11:1  And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein. 2  But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months. 3  And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
Rev 11:13  And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.

This earthquake seems to mark a turning point, because now, at 11.15, the seventh seal—which had already been foretold—will come:


Rev 10:7  But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.
The mystery of God is that salvation by Jesus Christ, that act of infinite love to save us that even the demons did not know about even though it was planned from heaven. It is also the revelation of His Secret Plans, of the knowledge of God.

½ Time in Trumpets and Cups.

Seventh Trumpet

Rev 10:7  but that in the days of the trumpet call to be sounded by the seventh angel, the mystery of God, as he announced to his servants the prophets, should be fulfilled.
Rev 11:15 Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, «The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he shall reign for ever and ever.» 16  And the twenty-four elders who sit on their thrones before God fell on their faces and worshiped God,  17  saying, «We give thanks to thee, Lord God Almighty, who art and who wast, that thou hast taken thy great power and begun to reign. 18  The nations raged, but thy wrath came, and the time for the dead to be judged, for rewarding thy servants, the prophets and saints, and those who fear thy name, both small and great, and for destroying the destroyers of the earth.» 19  Then God’s temple in heaven was opened, and the ark of his covenant was seen within his temple; and there were flashes of lightning, voices, peals of thunder, an earthquake, and heavy hail.

Seventh Bowl

Rev 15:17 The seventh angel poured his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple, from the throne, saying, «It is done!» 18  And there were flashes of lightning, voices, peals of thunder, and a great earthquake such as had never been since men were on the earth, so great was that earthquake. 19  The great city was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell, and God remembered great Babylon, to make her drain the cup of the fury of his wrath. 20  And every island fled away, and no mountains were to be found;

The Seventh Trumpet. If we were cast out of heaven and fell to earth at the sixth trumpet, here it speaks of Jesus Christ (ark of the covenant establishing his reign) who makes the new nature fit and enables us to receive the Spirit.

The 7th Cup also corresponds to the Passion, to the end of the Passion, for when the cup is poured out, it signifies that all is accomplished. The same happens with the trumpet; after it sounds, it proclaims, as if something has been accomplished: ‘The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ.’ That cup in the air may be the cup poured out upon the Adams (air, birds; the effect of the Passion, receiving the Spirit). The end may now speak of the end of the first half, which is the end of the world.


Thus, the effects of the passion are clearly seen in the text; ‘to destroy those who destroy the earth’ (in trumpet), is to destroy the demons who destroy heaven, because in the passion the validation of man as capable of receiving the Spirit becomes effective and the demons no longer have the blackmail that protected them, because if in justice we could not live (with capital letters) as angels, we can now live as men. Without their shield then, the demons, when the trial of the world is over, will fall forever into hell or be destroyed.
And it ends with the opening of the sanctuary of God in heaven and the appearance of the Ark of the Covenant; Christ is the Covenant, he is the Ark, symbolising the covenant as something marvellous created and the inner God himself; created person through whom the Essence of God flows in full intensity (this is also a prefiguration of Christ in the Exodus which I have not put in the point of the prefigurations). After this it will link to a great sign that appeared in heaven which also speaks of heaven and earth, and the 3'5 times. It is explained immediately.

In the 7th cup, when it speaks of the Great City divided into three, it refers to demons, Eves and Adams. Now more than ever there will be a distinction between the Adams and the Eves (I have come to bring a sword – to separate), because now many Adams will regain the Spirit and the foolish will not understand; the demons are also set apart because they now know they will be destroyed. The rest regarding the destruction may refer to the consequences it will have for these demons, who are left without protection and will be destroyed after this time; perhaps it also refers to this distinction from the Eves, or even speaks of the end of the real world, which would come at the end of the ½ Time. 

The 7th seal coincides with the trumpets and bowls if we bear in mind that it begins in Rev 7:2–3 with the arrival of the Seal of the Living God = Jesus. Let us remember that the seals belong to the 1st General Time in heaven and show that separation between the 3rd time and the ½ Time, which is blurred, to highlight that from heaven the world in general (3rd + ½) is seen as our salvation. To look at it another way, with the start of the 7th Seal in Rev 8:1, it would mean that the 7th Seal does nothing, merely waiting half an hour (I have already explained this in the 7th Seal). And that is the end of the structure of the trumpets that I have examined together with the bowls. But now it speaks of "a great sign appeared in heaven", which is the same as the salvation that comes to us through Jesus and is also counted as an offering in heaven and done on earth. This could therefore be included in the ½ Time of salvation.

Within the General Scheme (or the General Representation of the 3½ Times), we might consider—viewing it from heaven, that is, regarding the earth (= 3rd Time + ½ Time) as our period of salvation—that A Great Sign appearing in the heaven is also the beginning of our salvation already in heaven, and that is why the Apocalypse places it immediately after all the Trumpets (2nd General Time). As we shall now see, in A Great Sign, we are already told of the offering of Jesus Christ in Heaven which gives way to our salvation on Earth (3rd and ½ Times). Even so, bearing this caveat in mind, the ½ General Time is at the end of the Apocalypse and I have included it as such in the summary. This is clearer in the diagram at the end of this section.

A great portent Appeared in Heaven

After the 7 Cups, before the seven angels with nothing (according to the royal order), it speaks of the Great Sign.

Rev 12:1  And a great portent appeared in heaven, a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars; 2  she was with child and she cried out in her pangs of birth, in anguish for delivery. 3 And another portent appeared in heaven; behold, a great red dragon, with seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems upon his heads. 4 His tail swept down a third of the stars of heaven, and cast them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to bear a child, that he might devour her child when she brought it forth; 5  she brought forth a male child, one who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron, but her child was caught up to God and to his throne. 6 and the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, in which to be nourished for [1260] one thousand two hundred and sixty days.

[7 Now war arose in heaven, Michael and his angels fighting against the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, 8 but they were defeated and there was no longer any place for them in heaven. 9 And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world–he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.  10 And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, «Now the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren has been thrown down, who accuses them day and night before our God.  11 And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death.  (12)  Rejoice then, O heaven and you that dwell therein! But woe to you, O earth and sea, for the devil has come down to you in great wrath, because he knows that his time is short!»] 

13 And when the dragon saw that he had been thrown down to the earth, he pursued the woman who had borne the male child.  14 But the woman was given the two wings of the great eagle that she might fly from the serpent into the wilderness, to the place where she is to be nourished for a time, and times, and half a time.  15 The serpent poured water like a river out of his mouth after the woman, to sweep her away with the flood. 16 But the earth came to the help of the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed the river which the dragon had poured from his mouth. 17 Then the dragon was angry with the woman, and went off to make war on the rest of her offspring, on those who keep the commandments of God and bear testimony to Jesus.

We end with the structure of 7 angels. And we continue to talk about the ‘birth’ of Jesus told as a story. Clothed in the ’sun’, it seems clear that this is Christ, the Essence of God within Mary. The moon under her feet refers to the Adams, who will reflect the light of the sun, i.e. hear and follow (many) His word; if we look at the moon, when the earth or the world gets in the way, the sun is no longer seen or reflected. The more it crosses the earth, the less it is seen, even disappears. This happens to man who puts the things of the world before God (and again it speaks to us of the intensity of the Holy Spirit in us, again God speaks to Nature).

The Virgin is our queen and guardian, protector and most loving as a mother (remember: she does not keep the exact Essence of God, but she never emptied herself, she betrayed neither in heaven nor here below and willingly took our nature as well). The twelve stars, I suppose, are the apostles, not the tribes.
There are 3 parts to this reading. The first one from 1 to 6 inclusive. The second from 7 to 13-14 and the third from 14-15 to 17.

In the first 1-6, we are introduced to the participants in the story. On the one hand, the virgin with Jesus and on the other hand the devil. And this is a way of exposing that, after the betrayal of heaven, when the devil made his equalising blackmail (I want the same destiny as the Adams), there was no way to expel him from there, to defeat him, without taking the Adams (who betrayed for love), and it was at that moment when Christ, already in heaven, offered to validate the new nature of man. It is at this moment that the Universe or Planet Earth project begins to save us. The scriptures use this rapture or caught up to pass the story from our supposed Earth to heaven (5), when in reality we are in heaven from the beginning, but it must be kept hidden. The passage (6) ‘And the woman fled into the wilderness … to be nourished there for 1,260 days’ (1,260 days = 3.5 years) indicates that we are shifting ‘time’, that is to say, the narrative moves to heaven. It is not like the times we are studying, because, moreover, this first part is a presentation that does not fit with the earthly context: Jesus is not taken up immediately after his birth. It is a way of telling us about that offer that unblocked the castle in which the devil had taken refuge (blackmail).

Second part 7-13. This part is a consequence of the passion. It doesn't matter if it is set in motion before what happened in heaven. It does not matter, because all the Lord's plans are already set in motion in the offering of Christ in heaven to try to save at least the Adams. Perhaps once the traitors had risen in rebellion and the blackmail had been carried out (I want the same fate as the Adam's, traitors too), everything was at a standstill, until Christ offers himself. That is when the expulsion comes. Anyway, it seems that it speaks without time, because the important thing, the offering of the lamb or the passion, acts in both places, in heaven and on our earth.  It refers to the sea and the earth (12), perhaps it refers to the Eves (sea=death) and the Adams (earth, where the fruit comes from) "because the devil has come down to you in fury, knowing that his time is short", or it may refer to the earth in general and it is after the passion that the devil is most furious.

Thus, the second part follows (7-14), it is then when in heaven the definitive defeat of the demons took place (they had already been defeated, but behind this blackmail they could not be expelled). It is worth noting those accusations in (10) which are the lies and complaints that are poured out on the Adams in order to make us equal to them in their condemnation. These are a clear common denominator of the 2ndTime, and are seen especially in Psalms from Heaven. As Christ offers Himself already in heaven, we will be able, thanks to Him, to free ourselves from that righteousness which the demons claim. Thus the devil is cast down to earth in 13. This last verse together with verse 14 tells us again that we are on earth and again uses the key, it names the 3.5 Times ‘where a time and times and half a time must be nourished’. It should be noted that both verses 6 and 13 speak of the same thing, how the Virgin, who was an angel who did not commit treason, is sent to the earth, to the desert.
6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, in which to be nourished for [1260] one thousand two hundred and sixty days.
14 But the woman was given the two wings of the great eagle that she might fly from the serpent into the wilderness, to the place where she is to be nourished for a time, and times, and half a time.
In (6) because as we said we were already in heaven, and that presentation 1-5 that coincides with the birth of Jesus is a concealment that everything takes place there. Of course there are things that happen on earth, hence the concealment, but not those cries of childbirth. The cries represent the pain of the offering of Jesus already in heaven, and of the Virgin Mary herself who volunteers to bring us the vaccine down here. It is such a pain for us that makes both of them, together with God the Father, offer themselves for that birth of Jesus as man, for our validation, our salvation.

In (15) we are already in the third part 15-17, on earth and now the passion is narrated, also in a hidden way. The dragon is the demon that vomits a river of water, the Holy Spirit; it refers to the fact that the Holy Spirit is taken away from Jesus Christ on the cross (my God, why have you forsaken me), to prove or validate the nature of man, only as man. This is an achievement of the devil, i.e., because of him Jesus Christ has to undergo the whole passion (to save us voluntarily). Christ could really have ceased to be infinite Love like the Father if He had not forgiven His torturers. The Holy Spirit would not have returned in the Highest intensity to dwell in Him. It was a very serious thing. However, He did not die in what He was, and validated man, enabling us to receive the Holy Spirit. This is described as the Earth (our nature) swallowing the Water (16). At the same time, at His death Jesus descends into hell for all the righteous who could not receive the Spirit before, which would also draw that Spirit away from Jesus returning to Him, following Him underground. Had Jesus failed when he was deprived of the Holy Spirit, of that Water, Jesus and Mary would have been swept away, and so would we all because man's nature would not have been validated.
Once we are fit, it says that, scorned, the devil has nothing more to do (because he is effectively lost), but to persecute all who are able to receive the Holy Spirit.

So, to tie up a few loose ends, let me emphasise that there is already great suffering in the Lord’s offering in heaven. If, in his prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus sweated blood because of the sufferings that lay ahead, imagine what it must have been like to offer to lay aside his heavenly nature to become man. It forms part of his Passion, and had we known of it, it would have been another Sorrowful Mystery in the Rosary (even if there was no blood involved, or perhaps there was). Thus, verses 1 and 2 speak of that painful moment (I had initially confused it with the Passion). As an aside before continuing, I would add this:


Isaiah 66:7«Before she was in labor she gave birth; before her pain came upon her she was delivered of a son. 8  Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things? Shall a land be born in one day? Shall a nation be brought forth in one moment? For as soon as Zion was in labor she brought forth her sons. 9  Shall I bring to the birth and not cause to bring forth? says the LORD; shall I, who cause to bring forth, shut the womb? says your God. 10  «Rejoice with Jerusalem, and be glad for her, all you who love her; rejoice with her in joy, all you who mourn over her; 11  that you may suck and be satisfied with her consoling breasts; that you may drink deeply with delight from the abundance of her glory.»…


Of course things are hidden with facts of the world, for example the red dragon is equated to the Roman empire (7 diadems, 7 hills), and the flight of Mary to the historical fact: Mary flees with the born Christ because Herod wanted to kill him. But this is the genius of the Lord who has kept hidden from us what was right under our noses for thousands of years. And note that the sign of heaven speaks exclusively of that half-time, of salvation through Jesus Christ, in heaven (offering) and on earth (passion), and does so with rare resources (he was taken away at birth) to conceal until today what is revealed here.
This occurs similarly in the parable of the mine, where it is concealed that the mine takes place entirely in heaven (the 3.5 times), and the master makes a long journey to earth, in order to gain a Royal Investiture. (the Holy Spirit for us to see The mine ). Why did God want to hide it, and why is it being revealed now?

It should be noted that the Red Dragon usually represents Satan, and the Beast those who rebelled in heaven (Eves + demons + Adans). The Red Dragon is sometimes depicted as the one who empowers the Beast, and at other times as the image of the Beast itself. Perhaps in this text, for the sake of brevity and to make it clear that Satan is the architect of all this—though he is also followed by the demons—this hybrid form is used, as it is usually the Beast that has seven heads and ten horns, not the Dragon.


 

The Beast

After the 7 trumpets and a great sign, pause to talk about the Beast

Rev 13:1And I saw a beast rising out of the sea, with ten horns and seven heads, with ten diadems upon its horns and a blasphemous name upon its heads. 2  And the beast that I saw was like a leopard, its feet were like a bear’s, and its mouth was like a lion’s mouth. And to it the dragon gave his power and his throne and great authority. 3  One of its heads seemed to have a mortal wound, but its mortal wound was healed, and the whole earth followed the beast with wonder. 4  Men worshiped the dragon, for he had given his authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, «Who is like the beast, and who can fight against it?» 5  And the beast was given a mouth uttering haughty and blasphemous words, and it was allowed to exercise authority for forty-two months; 6  it opened its mouth to utter blasphemies against God, blaspheming his name and his dwelling, that is, those who dwell in heaven. 7  Also it was allowed to make war on the saints and to conquer them. And authority was given it over every tribe and people and tongue and nation, 8  and all who dwell on earth will worship it, every one whose name has not been written before the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb that was slain..

This first part tells us of the beast that rose from the sea = from death. And this beast represents the fallen angels. The sea is murky or dirty water, which is not pure. The sea also symbolises death. Death of being, or rather, of not having the Water of Life. The ancient serpent, or Satan, is the one who persuades the fallen angels; he gives them the power of the beast, and they too hate. Thus, the head mortally wounded yet healed represents that all who form the Beast, though they were defeated in heaven, are ‘healed’ to fulfil all righteousness in the salvation of the Adams on earth (See Justice and Redemption in Christ p.381). And who are the ones that make up the Beast? If we compare this with Daniel, we see that he speaks of four beasts rising out of the sea: a lion, a bear, a leopard, and a terrifying beast. As these symbolise (Adam, Eve, demons and Satan), it is worth reading Daniel’s 3rd Vision. Here it is a mixture of the first three beasts: ‘it looked like a leopard, with feet like a bear’s, and a mouth like a lion’s’. Let us bear that in mind and now analyse the beast: it has ten horns. As I analyse in Daniel’s vision, these represent everything that harmed God—that is, the groups by rank that existed in heaven and suffered in the battle there (in heaven there are 12 ranks; 7 reach the earth because there were traitors among the 7; it is worth reading in the 3rd Vision of Daniel p.48 ., and "Before a little Numerology  The Relationship Between 7 and 12’ ). Thus, those 10 horns are angels who cause God to suffer, grouped by size (God, although a heavenly power, is not counted among those 10 sizes, nor is Satan, who does not harm God by himself, but through the pain he inflicts on his victims). This is why they have diadems, because it speaks of the faithful angels in heaven (grouped by size); diadems and not crowns because perhaps they include all the angels involved in the battle, including the rebellious ones. The seven heads represent the groups of those who were deceived. In each group there were many who were deceived by the devil (the Eves); others, the Adams (who fell for love of the Eves); and the demons themselves who followed Satan. Thus, this mixture of traitors, alien to loyalty, to the Holy Spirit, to heaven, is called the Beast and, as I said, is made up of parts of the beasts of Daniel (lion, bear, leopard). The Dragon, Satan, is the one who has given power to the Beast, for it has been his achievement that all should fall. When it says that the whole earth followed the Dragon, it refers to the fact that all of us who have fallen to earth in one way or another have followed the Dragon (or have believed him if we are Eves, or have followed the Eves if we are Adams); that is to say, it is true that the whole earth followed him, but not the faithful angels who did not fall to earth. (6) “every tribe and people” refers to all of us in the world. 42 months because that is 3½ years. From the rise of this Beast (Adams + Eves + demons) in heaven until the end of the world, those 3½ times of salvation will pass for us.

Rev 13:11  Then I saw another beast which rose out of the earth; it had two horns like a lamb and it spoke like a dragon. 12  It exercises all the authority of the first beast in its presence, and makes the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose mortal wound was healed. 13  It works great signs, even making fire come down from heaven to earth in the sight of men; 14  and by the signs which it is allowed to work in the presence of the beast, it deceives those who dwell on earth, bidding them make an image for the beast which was wounded by the sword and yet lived; 15  and it was allowed to give breath to the image of the beast so that the image of the beast should even speak, and to cause those who would not worship the image of the beast to be slain. 16  Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, 17  so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name. 18  This calls for wisdom: let him who has understanding reckon the number of the beast, for it is a human number, its number is six hundred and sixty-six.

This second part tells us about the Second Beast, which rises from the earth. These are the Eves; they do not hate, and they have two horns like a lamb’s, but they speak like serpents. The Eves, let us remember, persuade the Adams, exercising the same power as Satan himself, who persuaded the Eves. It says that they are lamb-like horns as something positive, since it later speaks of the serpent’s tongue as something evil, but despite everything, they are horns (two) that bind them intimately to the demons (who always have horns). He causes fire to come down from heaven to earth; this refers to his causing great faithful angels to fall or be led astray to earth, or even that through the Eves others come to hate, becoming other fallen angels (that love for them which began their betrayal ended in hatred towards God). If there had been no Eves, the Adams would not have fallen, for they ‘doubted’ for love to the Eves. In other words, without the Eves, it would not have been necessary for God to create the world in an attempt to redeem the Adams, since they would have remained angels. That the wound of the First Beast was healed means that God could have eliminated both the demons and the Eves after defeating them, but He did not do so because they implicated the Adams in sharing the same fate. Bear in mind that the talk about this second beast and the previous one comes right at the end of the Second General Time. In this part, all the traitors have been defeated and the Eves ally themselves with the demons to discredit the Adams; they lie to make the Adams appear as guilty as the others and thus receive the same treatment, the same fate as them (this is clearly seen in the 3½ Times in the Psalms). That is to say, they, like the demons, remain hostile (12 It exercises all the power of the first Beast in its service, causing the earth and its inhabitants to worship the first Beast, whose mortal wound had been healed). Their testimony means that even the Adams continue to form part of that first Beast, for we shall fall with them to the earth. In 15 He was granted the power to breathe life into the image of the Beast, so that the image of the Beast could even speak and cause all those who did not worship the image of the Beast to be exterminated. This refers to the very same thing, because if it were not for the testimony of the Eves, the Adams surely would not have fallen, and the Eves and the demons would have been exterminated. Thus, the Eves give voice to Satan, because the image of the Beast is what brings to mind the first Beast: Satan is not the first Beast in and of himself (demons + Eves + Adams). The weight of the Eves’ testimony is greater than that of the demons and that of Satan, who hate God. As the testimony of the Eves coincides with that of Satan, he is also given a voice. By entangling the Adams in their lies—who do not in fact worship the Beast (for they betrayed him for love) — their heavenly nature is also destroyed. All this, which is clearly seen in the Psalms, is described obliquely in one passage as women setting fire to their children, or something of the sort; I can no longer recall the exact wording.

This second Beast is later called the false prophet. Indeed, the Eves take up Satan’s cause, promoting him and proclaiming him as the leader to follow instead of following God (false god preached, false prophet). 
Regarding the 666 I have already explained in "Before a little Numerology p.195 (should read)," which comes from 777-111 = 666; we subtract God from perfection and are left with the devil. Furthermore, this number (6) is the number of man, and also the devil’s achievement, for without it there would be no men, only angels. Thus, 666 = man = Number of the Beast. It also means that the First Beast, which is made up of Eves, demons and Adams (those of us who rebelled, who are the very same who fell to earth), were once perfect angels but lost the Holy Spirit; we removed God from ourselves (7-1, 7-1, 7-1). Thus it is said that everyone on earth (great and small, kings… all those whose paths or religions are determined by God) bears the mark of the beast on their hand or forehead. We have been made human through action (Evas, the hand) or through doubt (Adams, the forehead). Once emptied of God, we remain dead, ‘cast aside’; we shall only be able to exercise our freedom when God provides us with our prostheses, our bodies. That freedom is to buy and sell (to gain and lose the Holy Spirit – or through our justice transformed after death for those who lived during the Third Time or directly for those who lived after the Passion of Christ). Thanks to God and the Passion, men after this will have the possibility of receiving the Holy Spirit, unlike the demons who only hate and have no body; they are not men, they do not bear the mark of the beast 666, paradoxically, despite being one of those ‘6’s. We will be able to gain and lose the Holy Spirit (buy: you get rid of ‘worldly gold’, you gain the Spirit; sell: the reverse; or simply do good or evil). It is important to distinguish between bearing the mark of the Beast, which all men bear, and ‘accepting’ the mark of the Beast, which, I believe, later on refers to accepting the very principles that created the First Beast in the world: wanting to be more without thinking of others, wanting to be like God, whether through desire or through action. Let us remember that gold is placed in the world as a substitute for the Holy Spirit, or the Essence of God, which was desired in heaven; thus God hides Himself from us and carries out the test in a manner similar to what occurred in heaven. To have the Holy Spirit is good, and to have gold on earth is not evil in itself. To covet it and hoard more than our due is to accept the mark of the Beast.

It then continues with those who accompany the Lamb. Rev 14:1-5, who may be 144,000 angels who escaped the lies of the Eves and the demons. Why? Because we are at the end of the 2nd General Time, when the testimonies, snares and traps of the Eves and the demons will not succeed in trapping everyone. It says:

Rev 14:4 These are the ones who have not defiled themselves with women, for they are virgins. They follow the Lamb wherever he goes, and they have been rescued from among mankind as firstfruits for God and the Lamb, and no lie was found in their mouths...

They are described here as men because they were on the verge of falling, also accused (defiled) by women (the Eves); and, of course, because in these first two periods the Bible never speaks of angels or of heaven, but of men and of the earth, for everything was to remain hidden until today. They are firstfruits because ‘their salvation’ predates the creation of the world. ‘No lie was found in their mouths’ or there was no lie against which they could not defend themselves with their own testimony.
They could also be those who fell in the battle of heaven and are named in the 5th seal: they are beneath the altar calling for justice (for we are at the end of the 2nd time). 


 

And a structure of six angels (in our land, after passion, ½ time):




Rev 14:6 Then I saw another angel flying in midheaven, with an eternal gospel to proclaim to those who dwell on earth, to every nation and tribe and tongue and people; 7  and he said with a loud voice, «Fear God and give him glory, for the hour of his judgment has come; and worship him who made heaven and earth, the sea and the fountains of water.» 8  Another angel, a second, followed, saying, «Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, she who made all nations drink the wine of her impure passion.» 9  And another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a loud voice, «If any one worships the beast and its image, and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, 10  he also shall drink the wine of God’s wrath, poured unmixed into the cup of his anger, and he shall be tormented with fire and sulphur in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. 11  And the smoke of their torment goes up for ever and ever; and they have no rest, day or night, these worshipers of the beast and its image, and whoever receives the mark of its name.» 12  Here is a call for the endurance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. 13  And I heard a voice from heaven saying, «Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord henceforth.» «Blessed indeed,» says the Spirit, «that they may rest from their labors, for their deeds follow them!» 14  Then I looked, and lo, a white cloud, and seated on the cloud one like a son of man, with a golden crown on his head, and a sharp sickle in his hand. 15  And another angel came out of the temple, calling with a loud voice to him who sat upon the cloud, «Put in your sickle, and reap, for the hour to reap has come, for the harvest of the earth is fully ripe.» 16  So he who sat upon the cloud swung his sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped. 17  And another angel came out of the temple in heaven, and he too had a sharp sickle. 18  Then another angel came out from the altar, the angel who has power over fire, and he called with a loud voice to him who had the sharp sickle, «Put in your sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, for its grapes are ripe.» 19  So the angel swung his sickle on the earth and gathered the vintage of the earth, and threw it into the great wine press of the wrath of God;

This structure might appear to consist of seven angels, but it does not, because in (14) the figure in the cloud is Jesus, and in (13) it is the Spirit who speaks; care is taken not to name any angels here, as has been done elsewhere; perhaps to keep everything hidden until now, because the structures of the seven seals and seven angels determine the Times.
Let us set the scene, then. We are at the end of the Second General Time, and these angels speak accordingly. In (7), the judgement is the one that will take place in the world (in general) in an attempt to save us; this is evident in the final part of this Second General Time, which speaks of the world (the 3rd + ½ Time) as necessary for our justification and salvation. And so here it refers to the creation of heaven and earth, the sea and the springs of water. In (8), it makes a first reference to the fall of Great Babylon; it will make another reference at the beginning of the ½ General Time. Why? Because Great Babylon in heaven is the same as the 1st Beast; we are all the traitors. It is a fall from heaven to earth, to the 3rd Time. When we see the fall of Babylon again, it will be in Rev 18 and will refer to the end of the world, to the fall of the Eves who did not listen, the demons, Satan, and the Adams who were not justified, to the fall of all of them from the very world we know. In (9) we are given instructions on what we must do (or not do) on earth: If anyone worships the Beast and its image, and accepts the mark on their forehead or on their hand… they will also have to drink the wine of God’s wrath (future). It is worth noting here that ‘accepting the mark on their forehead’ (acceperit) is translated as ‘accepting’, not merely ‘receiving’. Because we are all marked on the hand (Evas) or on the forehead (Adans), the problem lies in accepting that mark, as it would mean reaffirming our betrayal whilst still on earth, whether through action (hand, Eves), through doubt, or through love for the Eves (forehead, Adans – or even making things worse in the world). In (13) ‘Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord’, we are told that those who die in God in the world (he continues to give instructions) will be able to rest in peace, will be able to receive the Holy Spirit once more. In (14) we are told of Jesus’ offering in heaven (upon a cloud), which is the catalyst for the creation of the world to save us, or we are simply told that it is Jesus Christ who performs the first harvest. The harvest is carried out first by Jesus and then by an angel who also has a sickle. Jesus reaps the harvest which represents the Holy Spirit, and says nothing of what He does with the harvest. The angel, who is said to have power over fire, reaps the grapes and the clusters, which do not exactly represent the Holy Spirit (although the Wine does). It also says that he throws everything (10) into the great winepress of God’s wrath. Thus, it seems that this angel (with power over fire) dealt with the demons who will have neither body nor even freedom in the world, before casting them from heaven to earth, and that Jesus takes the Spirit from us before sending us to earth, or simply (if it had already been taken from us) that harvest of Jesus refers to how He removes us from heaven but reserves us for the earth (He does not cast us into the winepress of God’s wrath).
Then would follow the angels with the 7 bowls which I have already shown compared to the 7 trumpets.



The Great Harlot.

Rev 17:1-18 Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and spoke to me, saying, “Come, I will show you the judgement of the famous Harlot, who sits on many waters,  (2) with whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have become drunk with the wine of her fornication.”  (3)  He carried me away in the Spirit into the wilderness. And I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet-coloured Beast, covered with blasphemous names; the Beast had seven heads and ten horns.  (4)  The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, resplendent with gold, precious stones and pearls; she held in her hand a golden cup full of abominations, and also the impurities of her prostitution,  (5) and on her forehead a name written—a mystery—: ‘Babylon the Great, the mother of harlots and of the abominations of the earth.’  (6)  And I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And I was greatly astonished when I saw her; (7) but the angel said to me, “Why are you astonished? I will explain to you the mystery of the woman and of the Beast that carries her, the one with seven heads and ten horns. (8) "The Beast that you have seen was, and is no more; yet it is about to rise from the abyss, but it is heading for destruction. The inhabitants of the earth, whose names have not been written in the book of life since the creation of the world, will be amazed to see that the Beast was, and is no more, yet it will reappear.
17:9 Here is where intelligence is required, to have wisdom. The seven heads are seven hills on which the woman sits. ‘They are also seven kings: (10) five have fallen, one is, and the other has not yet come. And when he comes, he will remain for a short time.  (11)  And the Beast, which was and is no more, is the eighth, yet is one of the seven; and he goes to his destruction.  (12)  The ten horns you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom; but they will receive royal authority with the Beast, for one hour only.  (13)  They all agree to hand over to the Beast the power and authority they possess.  (14)  These will wage war against the Lamb, but the Lamb, as Lord of Lords and King of Kings, will conquer them together with his own, the called, the chosen and the faithful.”  (15)  He also said to me: “The waters you have seen, where the Harlot sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations and languages.  (16)  And the ten horns you have seen, and the Beast, will hate the Harlot; they will leave her desolate and naked, devour her flesh and consume her with fire;  (17)  for God has put it into their hearts to carry out his own plan, and to agree to hand over their authority to the Beast until God’s words are fulfilled.  (18)  And the woman you saw is the great city, which exercises authority over the kings of the earth.

Well, we are now at the start of the ½ general time that will take us to heaven (following on from the end of the ½ particular time of the bowls). We are very close to reaching that point from where we stand today in history.
We are going to address some important issues in this chapter.

  1. We are already told about the Beast in Daniel and in Rev 13. It is not exactly the same view from heaven (end of the 2nd General Time) as it is now (shortly before the beginning of the end of the world).
  2. It accepts two explanations (17:9): The seven heads are seven hills on which the woman sits. ‘They are also seven kings:…
  3. In (3) He transported me in the Spirit into the wilderness. It tells us, as it did in ‘A Great Sign’, that the Time is changing. It will use this to talk about the future because this was written thousands of years ago.

I shall begin with the harlot. The time is shortly after our own time. Perhaps I am mistaken, and indeed, I hope I am mistaken, but let us see who this great harlot is:
- She sits upon great waters = the waters symbolise the Holy Spirit.
- The kings of the earth committed fornication with her = the kings of the earth represent the Adams (who see God in the world). To commit fornication here is to go along with the Vatican’s daily insults, when it claims that all of humanity was punished for the sin of Adam and Eve, branding God as cruel and unjust.
- The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, resplendent with gold, precious stones and pearls = Bishops and Cardinals wear purple and scarlet.
- The seven heads are seven hills on which the woman sits. They are also… = Rome.
- The woman was inebriated with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus = Drinking in itself is not wrong, but getting drunk is. Has it not been the blood of the martyrs and saints that has brought the Church to where it is today? But if that blood makes you arrogant, inebriates you, and dulls your senses, will it not distance you from the will of God for which that very blood was shed?
- seated upon a scarlet-coloured Beast = If the first Beast represents the eves + Adams + demons, does specifying a colour for this one not point to a particular group: the Adams? Scarlet symbolises the fire of the Holy Spirit and royalty. And even if that were not the case, is the Church not upon that restless Beast? Is she not above the world? This is the only instance in which a colour is assigned to the Beast, when it is associated with the harlot.
- She held in her hand a golden cup filled with abominations, and also the impurities of her prostitution = is it not abominable to assert with all this pomp, sealing it with molten gold, that God punishes all humanity for the sin of two (Adam and Eve), making Him cruel and unjust? (among other things).
Isn’t that too many coincidences? Doesn’t this woman seem to be referring to the Church—the Vatican, to be precise? And, as things stand, isn’t the Church betraying God’s will by failing to reveal what has been disclosed here, something they have known for years? What worse form of prostitution is there than one whose consequence is that millions of our brothers and sisters, the deaf, fall into the hands of our enemy: Satan? That they fall into the hands of God’s enemy? Is there any greater prostitution than that: working with the devil by omission, when you are supposed to be working for God? No. There isn’t.
But if that is the case, would it not be an exaggeration to say that the Vatican Church (because of the mark on its forehead) is “the mother of harlots and of the abominations of the earth”? In this context, it would indeed be fair to say that it is “the mother of harlots”, as it is the one that proclaims blasphemies such as that God is unjust and forces all the churches of the world to do so, or by ignoring what is revealed here and imposing its doctrine on all Catholic churches (as is only natural, for that matter). So what is happening? This mark refers to the Vatican Church but also to the Eves, as it presents both explanations as valid in (17:9). This is the mystery of the mark on the forehead. In the explanation concerning the Church, the harlot is situated on the seven hills of Rome (plus all that has been said); in the other, it speaks of the seven kings, which I shall explain later.

The angel’s explanation of the Beast:
(8) The Beast that you have seen was, and is no more; yet it is about to rise from the abyss, but it is heading towards its destruction. The inhabitants of the earth, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life since the creation of the world, will be amazed to see that the Beast was, and is no more, yet will reappear.
The Beast, as I have already said, is all of us who betrayed in heaven, but then Babylon too? Yes, but on earth. When the Apocalypse mentions Babylon, it is speaking of us already on earth. From 14:8, the end of the Second Age, when it says ‘Great Babylon has fallen’, it speaks of us who have fallen to Earth (those of us who were the Beast in heaven). And the Beast in these verses, when it is also referring to us on Earth, bears the title of the Beast ‘which was and is no more’. Which is true because the Beast ‘was’, as it was formed by those who were once faithful angels who ended up betraying, and we arrived on Earth empty.
But that “which was and is no more” is also like a permission or a licence to use that heavenly term on earth. It is like saying: The beast that was and is no more, but is Babylon on Earth (within which there will be some changes throughout history; this is explained a little later in The Fall of Babylon – once again). Thus, the Beast “evolves” with Babylon; that is to say, at the end of the world, when Babylon falls and the faithful of the Lord have departed, neither the faithful Adams nor the converted Eves will be found in the Beast (this will be seen in the cited reference).
It will rise from the abyss because we are near the end of the world. It will rise from the abyss because the world is the abyss into which we fall from heaven. “But it is heading towards its destruction” because after the end of the world there will be judgement. The Eves (whose names were not inscribed) will marvel because when knowledge of the Lord spreads (which will occur one symbolic hour before the end of the world) they will be able to see God and even receive the Holy Spirit. By mentioning the Eves, it seems to specify that it will be these ones ‘within’ the Beast who will ‘reappear’, although this revelation will also open the senses of many Adams who have remained submerged in the world, especially in these latter days.

As another possibility that does not alter what has been said about the Eves, we might consider (since we are speaking of the beast that was and is no longer—that is, Babylon) that the abyss from which the Eves emerge is that deafness, that concealment of God or darkness which affects not only them, but everyone (including the Adams, although they have always been able to catch a glimpse of God). In other words, emerging from the abyss would refer to the coming revelation and spread of the knowledge of God that will enlighten the world. This will occur near the end of the world, with the destruction of that beast.

The angel’s explanation of the seven kings:

If the 7 heads of the Beast in heaven (Rev 13, end of the 2nd General Time) were those sizes of the soul or groups of the fallen, classified by size, which will determine on earth the 7 paths or religions established by God for our salvation, now on earth these kings designate those who direct, guide or reveal these paths. It says that 5 have fallen, meaning that five have already passed at this moment (near the end); One Is, refers to Jesus Christ, whom it names separately because He Is. And another has not yet arrived. This one who has not yet arrived will, in turn, be the one later called the 8th, who is said to be part of the 7. Why? Because what is revealed here to the Eves will be known to them without a guide, prophet or king (such as Jesus, Mohammed, Buddha…), but will instead be revealed through the logic of the world (this may have to do with those lists of seven elements in which the islands – surrounded by sea = death – are named last). Thus, it will be the Beast itself that learns the way (especially the Eves, though many Adams will also see thanks to the revealed knowledge), since the Vatican, the harlot, will not lead them. And it is true that the Eves are found in all religions, which is why many must not come to Christianity, but it is also true that this is revealed in the Bible and that the Church has been aware of it for years.

The angel’s explanation of the ten horns:

(12)  The ten horns you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom; but they will receive authority as kings with the Beast, for one hour only.  (13)  They all agree to hand over to the Beast the power and authority they possess(14)  These will wage war against the Lamb, but the Lamb, as Lord of Lords and King of Kings, will defeat them together with his own, the called, the chosen and the faithful."

If the ten horns of the Beast in heaven (Chapter 13, end of the 2nd General Time) were all the groups of angels, classified by the size of their souls, whose suffering caused God’s pain (the horns of the Beast), here in the world these 10 kings also symbolise a total, in this case of countries, or of people, or of any structure that determines the total of those of us who have fallen, or even the abstract total determined by the number 10. It makes a distinction to clarify that this description predates this end, because it says “who have not yet received the kingdom” (which is impossible in the real world; a king must possess land or have possessed it). That is to say, it speaks of the world in general that wages war against God’s saints and gives power to the Beast from the beginning on Earth, but especially today before all this is revealed. But to these and to the Beast will be given (they will receive in the future) royal authority for only one (symbolic) hour. This will be that time, once the knowledge of God is widespread, in which He will be accessible to all. And it will be brief because the end of the world is near.

In (17:15) He also said to me. He makes a distinction, returning to the subject of the prostitute.

(17:16) And the ten horns that you have seen, and the Beast, will hate the Harlot; they will leave her desolate and naked, devour her flesh and consume her with fire; (17) for God has put it into their hearts to carry out his own plan, and to agree to hand over their authority to the Beast until the words of God are fulfilled.

This means that the world and the Beast (the Eves and Adams; the demons have always hated her, though perhaps, if the Holy Spirit spreads throughout the world, she will no longer be their main target) will turn their backs on the Harlot, on the Vatican (according to the angel’s first explanation), and she will be left alone. And this will not be a victory for the devil, but God’s design. (17) To carry out his own plan is to be the 7th king, his own guide knowing God.
(18)  And the woman you saw is the great city, which exercises authority over the kings of the earth.

According to this first interpretation of the prostitute, the Vatican would be (the great city), since it equates the woman with a place, just as it did when explaining that the seven heads on which the woman stands are a location—seven hills (as opposed to the other interpretation: seven kings); furthermore, it states that she has sovereignty over the Adams = ‘kings of the earth’.

The other valid explanation he gives is:

The women are the Eves who have been guiding the Adams from heaven, and it is through their testimony that the demons’ blackmail in heaven is taken into account (the Eves also want the same fate as the Adams because they already saw themselves being destroyed). For this reason, he says that they ride upon the 1st Beast (they lead, they guide).

Babylon changes from the first time it is mentioned. It is the first Beast (Eves + Adams + demons) that falls from heaven at the end of the Second Time (Rev 14:8)
Following the specific ½ Time of the bowls, the start of the general ½ Time, during the Passion of Christ (Rev 16:19), Babylon is divided into three because man (especially the Adams) can receive the Holy Spirit. The distinction between the components of Babylon (of the first Beast): Eves + demons + Adams, is now clearly defined, though all three remain; the Eves who cannot see will face directly the Adams who can now receive the Spirit (I have come to bring a sword). The demons will already know that they have lost their shield and that after the end of the world they will be condemned.
In this explanation, the definition of kings and horns is the same, but not that of the harlot, who is the Eves: the mother of harlots and of the abominations of the earth. This is the other part of the mystery of the mark on the harlot’s forehead, because the Eves have, after all, been instrumental in bringing the Adams into the world. Moreover, they are the ones who pull them along down here too (and so they also direct the beast here, the one who was and is not, or Babylon; though admittedly with less impetus since the passion of Christ), not just the beast in heaven. The Adams sin not only because they are tempted by the devil, but also by the Eves. In this fork in the road that arises when both explanations are accepted as valid (17:9), we can see this prostitute in the explanation of the heads of the Beast (the kings and then the horns), because this goes back to the distinction that classifies those who betrayed in heaven by size and type, evident on earth. The other explanation, which places the prostitute on the hills of Rome, is the one referring to the Church (although the explanation of the kings and horns is equally valid, since the Beast predates the Church).
Continuing with this explanation, (Evas) after making that distinction, 17:15 states:

(17:16) And the ten horns which you have seen, and the Beast, will hate the Harlot; they will leave her alone and naked, eat her flesh and consume her with fire;  (17) for God has inspired them with the resolve to carry out their own plan, and to agree to hand over the sovereignty they possess to the Beast until the words of God are fulfilled. 

This will happen, as I said before, when the knowledge of God spreads throughout the world. And what then does it mean that ‘they will hate the Harlot; they will leave her alone and naked, eat her flesh and consume her with fire’? At that moment, the Eves will hear; they will no longer be among the deaf or the blind; and this will occur both in the world (10 horns) and within the Beast, of course. They will then be able to receive the Holy Spirit without anyone else opening their eyes. In other words, that difference will disappear. She will be alone and naked, or rather she will realise that she is naked, just as happened to Adam in Genesis; something that the Eves of the world have been unaware of, as they have been unable even to catch a whiff of the Holy Spirit until that future moment. They will be consumed by fire, because it is the effect of the Holy Spirit (fire)—whether by feeling it within you or by realising its true existence—that makes that difference disappear, that erases their name (their former identity, making it vanish as it was—they will eat their flesh). The Eves who, at that moment, thanks to seeing God, separate themselves from the world will become part of the Adams. For in heaven, listening to the devil and following him was what designated them as Eves.

(18)  And the woman you saw is the great city, which exercises authority over the kings of the earth.

Now start by separating them with that ‘and’ (… He also said to me). On the other hand, go back to an earlier point when he says ‘the woman you have seen’. Indeed, the Eves, as such, are the ones who rule, or hold sovereignty over the kings of the earth = the Adams. This was much more the case before the Passion, but in recent times they have been gaining power once again.

The Fall of Babylon (again).

This time, Babylon is mentioned in the final part, at the end of the world, an event necessary for the righteous to reach heaven, which is why I include it within the first half of the general period of salvation. The first time the fall of Babylon is mentioned, it is at the end of the 2nd General Time, and it refers to the fall of all of us to Earth (Evas, demons, Adans). Now we are told of the fall of Babylon from Earth (as part of the end of the world).
As we saw in the first Great Babylon (Rev 14, end of the 2nd General Time, in heaven), this referred to all of us who fall to earth, equating us with the 1st Beast, that is, the Eves, demons, and Adams. After Chapter 16 (½ Particular Time of the Bowls, beginning of the ½ General Time), Great Babylon is divided into three because after the Passion we can receive the Holy Spirit, especially the Adams (I have come to bring a sword). Now, in this fall of Babylon, we are told of the fall of the world, and in exhorting us (in 18:4, ‘Come out of her, my people!’) to leave her, it tells us that the Adams who have followed God, and the Eves who, through the knowledge revealed at the end of the world, have also followed Him, must leave her. That is to say, after the call in 18:4 to punish Great Babylon, only those destined for condemnation will remain. In fact, when Chapter 19 refers to the Beast—which will appear after the end of the world—it is, as always, equated with Babylon, that is to say, with what remains of Babylon after it has passed through the world, and it is already assumed that the Adams will no longer be there. And the remaining kings of the earth will be unclean birds:

Rev 18:2And he called out with a mighty voice, "Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great! It has become a dwelling place of demons, a haunt of every foul spirit, a haunt of every foul and hateful bird; 3  for all nations have drunk the wine of her impure passion, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have grown rich with the wealth of her wantonness." 4  Then I heard another voice from heaven saying, "Come out of her, my people, lest you take part in her sins, lest you share in her plagues;

Here, the birds refer, as always, to the ‘Adams’ (see Noah  p. 35) who can—or, in the case of the unclean birds, could have—risen above the world. Here they are unclean because they have remained with the world; they have accepted their own mark. It may be an exaggeration to claim that this Babylon of the world without the righteous is equated with the other thread in which the Great City—the Vatican—is equated. I say this because of: ‘It has become a dwelling place for demons, a haunt for every kind of unclean spirit, a haunt for every kind of unclean and detestable bird, but let us consider that this refers to the future—the near future, but the future nonetheless—and tell me: how long can a soul remain pure when it is consciously watching the souls of defenceless people fall (for the Eves, like cattle, cannot flee from the serpents), whom it could save but does nothing to save them? Is not a policeman who repeatedly allows an organisation to kidnap thousands of children a corrupt official? Yes. Since the Church is failing to fulfil the mission God entrusted to it. And amongst corrupt souls, sooner or later one demon or another will emerge; moreover, the Great Babylon described in heaven (the one that falls to earth) was already a dwelling place for demons, Eves and Adams; it would make no sense for it to become something it already was in the first place. Furthermore, it says it is a dwelling place for all manner of unclean birds (there are more than a few Adams lost there). And as I was saying, the Adams are still at the beginning of this chapter because it says, ‘Come out of there, my people’.
So we’ll see that this chapter can also be applied to the Vatican, and some of you might be thinking: ‘Come on! Is it really that important for the Church to remain unshakeable in its teachings, to the point of being mentioned in the Apocalypse?’ Yes. Because its betrayal is extremely serious. It is a shift from working for God to working for the devil (for that is what the policeman does when he is bribed to turn a blind eye, or the policeman who neglects his duty to show off his posturing to passers-by whilst children are being abducted; he is not doing his job, but facilitating that of the abductors by distracting passers-by and even the children who do not understand). Hence the clear description: a prostitute, she goes off with one man or another, it makes no difference. And what of the other descriptions she gives? The purple and red are obvious, but what of the gold, the jewels...? Perhaps today, the Vatican (the great City) tries to be more humble, but the truth is that everything we see there was built in the past. I do not wish to criticise the Church for this, because I am aware that the historical assets of the Churches are usually considered national heritage of the countries in which these Churches are located. Thus, it is not the gold and jewels that remain in the Vatican. It is the pomposity and the inner conceit that led them to display them that has not changed.

Continuing with the explanation from the Church of Rome:

I highlight here what I consider relevant and make notes in the text:

Rev 18:5-24 For her sins have piled up to heaven [for her blasphemies reach God as she continually calls Him unjust, whilst proclaiming and teaching that because of the sin of Adam and Eve (two people) God punished all of humanity] and God has remembered her iniquities.  (6)  Repay her as she has repaid; give her double according to her deeds; in the cup she has prepared, prepare for her double. [It reminds me of what was said of the Pharisees who demanded what they did not fulfil; in this case, to give just one example, by blaspheming against God; to give another, by failing to love their neighbour and allowing all those deaf people to fall into the hands of Satan] (7)  In proportion to her boasting and her luxury, give her torment and weeping. For she says in her heart: ‘I sit as a queen, and I am no widow, and I shall never know sorrow...’  (8)  Therefore, in a single day her plagues will come: pestilence, sorrow and famine, and she will be consumed by fire. For mighty is the Lord God who has condemned her.” (9)  The kings of the earth [= the Adams, those who listen to God], who committed adultery with her and lived in luxury [for the Christian Adams have accepted these false teachings], will weep and mourn for her when they see the smoke of her flames;  (10) they will stand at a distance, horrified by her torment, and say: ‘Alas, alas, the great city! Babylon, mighty city, in one hour your judgement has come!”  (11) The merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her, because no one buys their cargoes any more:  (12) cargoes of gold and silver, precious stones and pearls, fine linen and purple, silk and scarlet, all kinds of fragrant woods and all kinds of ivory objects, all kinds of objects of precious wood, bronze, iron and marble;  (13) cinnamon, calamus, perfumes, myrrh, incense, wine, oil, flour, wheat, beasts of burden, sheep, horses and chariots; slaves and human merchandise.  [riches sometimes represent the Holy Spirit; in this case, many of them do so in their own right] (14) And the ripe fruits your soul craved, [= the Holy Spirit or His fruits] have departed from you; and all magnificence and splendour have come to an end for you, and shall never again appear.  (15)  The merchants of these things, those who had grown rich at their expense, will stand at a distance, horrified at her torment, weeping and wailing: (16)  ‘Alas, alas, the great city, clothed in fine linen, purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold, precious stones and pearls,  (17) such wealth has been laid waste in a single hour!’ All the captains, ship’s officers …,(19) … cried out, weeping and wailing: “Alas, alas, the great city, by whose wealth all who had ships at sea were enriched [the ships represent men, the sea represents death; ‘were enriched’ means they lived thanks to the Holy Spirit]; in one hour it has been laid waste!” [one hour is the symbolic period of time denoting the time from when knowledge of God spreads and the Eves listen, until the end of the world]   (20)  Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you, the saints, the apostles and the prophets, for in condemning her, God has judged your cause. [Many prophets… died so that, as a result, the Church might officially blaspheme against God and ratify this in the name of God Himself, or betray Him by handing His children (Evas) over to Satan; it mentions or explains this because it would not seem normal for the saints to rejoice in this, yet it gives them the reason] (21) A mighty angel then lifted a stone … (22) …; the sound of the millstone will be heard no more in you;  (23) The light of the lamp [the Holy Spirit] will no longer shine in you; the voice of the bridegroom and the bride will no longer be heard in you [the voice of Jesus Christ and the Church]. For your merchants were the great men of the earth, for by your sorcery all the nations were led astray; (24) and in her was found the blood of the prophets and of the saints and of all those slain [εσφαγμενων = sacrificed] on the earth. [A guide who sees only half the way ends up leading you astray; the Church is built upon the blood of the prophets, saints and martyrs].

 

Now for the other thread: the explanation of women as Eves, part of Babylon:

I’ll highlight here what I think is relevant and make notes in the text:

Rev 18:5-24 For her sins have piled up to heaven [The sins that caused us to fall from heaven come from there] and God has remembered her iniquities.  (6)  Repay her as she has repaid; give her double according to her deeds; in the cup she has prepared, prepare for her double. [Justice for all; from the 4th onwards, only the guilty will be punished in Babylon] (7)  In proportion to her boasting and her luxury, give her torment and weeping. For she says in her heart: ‘I sit as a queen, and I am no widow, and I shall never know sorrow...’  [The Babylon that is being punished is made up of demons, the Eves who have remained in the world, and the foul birds—or the Adams, or kings of the earth—who have not separated themselves from the world; and this, it is assumed, after knowledge of God has spread. And yet they have disregarded it] (8) Therefore, in a single day her plagues will come: pestilence, sorrow and famine, and she will be consumed by fire. For mighty is the Lord God who has condemned her.” (9)  The kings of the earth [= We are at the end of the world; these Adams are the good ones who have come out of Babylon to punish, who can weep for all the fallen; they could also be repulsive Adams lamenting their own plight, but then it says that these kings keep their distance], who committed adultery with her and lived in luxury [Who hasn’t sinned?], will weep and mourn for her when they see the smoke of her flames;  (10) they will stand at a distance, horrified by her torment, and say: ‘Alas, alas, the great city! Babylon, mighty city, in one hour your judgement has come!”  (11) The merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her, because no one buys their cargoes any more:  (12) cargoes of gold and silver, precious stones and pearls, fine linen and purple, silk and scarlet, all kinds of fragrant woods and all kinds of ivory objects, all kinds of objects of precious wood, bronze, iron and marble;  (13) cinnamon, calamus, perfumes, myrrh, incense, wine, oil, flour, wheat, beasts of burden, sheep, horses and chariots; slaves and human merchandise.  [“Merchants of the Earth”; Merchants because that is what we all do in the world—gain or lose (trading, symbolically) the Holy Spirit (represented by riches); by saying “of the Earth”, it refers to those who have remained in the world, within Babylon, the damned (later we shall see that the enriched merchants will be those who have left). They lament because they have already lost the opportunity to gain the Holy Spirit]  (14) And the ripe fruits your soul craved, [the same] have departed from you; and all magnificence and splendour have come to an end for you, and shall never again appear.  (15)  The merchants of these things, those who had grown rich at their expense, [What is said here and in the following verses refers to those who have managed to leave Babylon: the Enriched Merchants] will stand at a distance [confirmation that they are among those who have left], horrified at her torment, weeping and wailing: (16)  ‘Alas, alas, the great city, clothed in fine linen, purple and scarlet [luxuries], and adorned with gold, precious stones and pearls,  (17) such wealth has been laid waste in a single hour!’ All the captains, ship’s officers …,(19) … cried out, weeping and wailing: “Alas, alas, the great city, by whose wealth all who had ships at sea [since we all arrive dead, those who have left Babylon leave alive, filled with the Holy Spirit, rich] were enriched ; in one hour it has been laid waste!”   (20)  Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you, the saints, the apostles and the prophets, for in condemning her, God has judged your cause. [When Babylon falls, only those who are to be condemned remain there, judged also for what happened in heaven] (21) A mighty angel then lifted a stone … (22) …; the sound of the millstone will be heard no more in you;  (23) The light of the lamp will no longer shine in you; the voice of the bridegroom and the bride will no longer be heard in you [There will be no more life]. For your merchants were the great men of the earth, for by your sorcery all the nations were led astray; (24) and in her was found the blood of the prophets and of the saints and of all those slain [εσφαγμενων = sacrificed] on the earth. [Now he speaks ill of the merchants, likening them to the earth’s magnates, once again distinguishing between the earth’s merchants—those who remain within Babylon—and the enriched merchants—those who leave. “Your sorcery” may refer to idols and the actions of the Eves alongside the demons; “the blood of the prophets” because many died at the hands of all these].

Well, then we see that in verses 17 and 18 of Revelation, the Lord briefly unravels this mystery by offering two valid and coexisting explanations. In doing so, He speaks of the Vatican whilst also speaking of us (Evas, demons, Adams). It’s something that saddens me; don’t blame me for it. God is not bound by time and sees the future that we cannot see. I’d like to think it’s a warning, but in line with my latest expectations, it seems it’s a fact that will come to pass.

 

The end of the Apocalypse.

As for the end, it is quite clear what the reward is for those who reach it. Although it goes on to say that Satan will be locked up for a thousand years and then allowed to come out to fight one last time against the Beloved City, after which he will be destroyed. This means that, following the destruction of the world, God will not bring time to an end immediately, but will wait a thousand years. And how could it be otherwise? As I maintain, purgatory is the time it takes for a soul, when its body dies, to reach the edge of the universe; depending on the Holy Spirit it possesses, it will ascend in more or less time, or if it has none, it will descend. If He were to break time by destroying the world, what would happen to those who have not been purified? Or to those who were alive at that moment? Would He bring them back directly? Perhaps that would not be entirely fair to those who died thousands of years earlier and waited until they reached the edge of the universe (wherever it extends, filling the ‘void’ alongside God) or, in any case, until they had passed through purgatory, subject to time (the parable of the labourers, Matthew 20:1–16, speaks of reward given, not of punishment removed).

Thus, after the thousand years, the vibrating sword—which is what restrains Satan—will indeed break the bonds of time, and then he will once again seek to wage war against the Beloved City, against the angels, and against those who have cleansed their souls with the blood of Christ. And he will be utterly destroyed, for he will no longer be able to use us as a shield; we will no longer be held captive by him.
But prior to this final battle, which seems set to take place at the edge of heaven, we see these verses.

Rev 19:17-21 Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, and he cried out in a loud voice to all the birds flying high in the sky: “Come, gather for the great feast of God,  (18) so that you may eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of generals, the flesh of the mighty, the flesh of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all people, both free and slave, both small and great.”  (19)  Then I saw the Beast and the kings of the earth, with their armies, gathered together to wage war against the one riding the horse and against his army.  (20)  But the Beast was captured, and with it the false prophet—the one who had performed the signs in the service of the Beast, by which he had deceived those who had received the mark of the Beast and those who worshipped its image—both were thrown alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone.  (21)  The rest were killed by the sword that came out of the mouth of the rider on the horse, and all the birds gorged themselves on their flesh.

In (19:17), all the birds flying high in the sky are evidently the Adams who have separated themselves from the world (not the foul-smelling ones). The list of kings, tribunes, warriors… refers to the sizes of the souls of those who were not justified (the kings in this case too; it does not refer to the Adams). The flesh to the Holy Spirit that they set free in their betrayal of heaven; this Holy Spirit surely did not redistribute itself there, at least not in its entirety, and remained waiting (it is said that God will give the faithful cities to rule, or something of the sort).

What it goes on to say in verses 19 to 21 is very interesting. Although we know that now in the Beast (what remains of Babylon when it falls from the earth) there are only the nauseating Adams, the nauseating Eves and the demons, this time it names them separately: kings (nauseating Adams), the false prophet (nauseating Eves) and the Beast itself. Let us remember that the good were no longer in Babylon: ‘Come out of her, my people’. Let us also remember that the fall of Babylon in a single day describes, in this instance that concerns us (not that of the Vatican), that we all (with the good Adams separated) fall from the Earth (18:2 ‘Great Babylon has fallen’), that is to say, the end of the world which is in the last ½ General Time, so that now it will no longer speak of Babylon as before, but now names the Beast (which is in reality Babylon itself). It also mentions the Eves (the false prophet) who failed, as being separate from the Beast. Why? Because this confrontation is in fact the judgement of all of them, which will determine each one’s fate; and this fate—and this is the interesting part—seems, judging by these verses, not to be the same for the Eves (and the demons) as for the loathsome Adams. Thus, in (20), the Beast (in which the demons are, since the nauseating Adams and the Eves – the false prophet – have been separated) is cast alive, together with the Eves – the false prophet – into hell. Note that although the Beast and the false prophet (Evas who fail or ‘nauseating’ Eves) are named separately, they are captured together. That is to say, this separation of the three has been made solely to distinguish that the nauseating Adams have a different fate from that of the demons + the ‘nauseating’ Eves. For the nauseating Adams (kings) are exterminated, not cast into hell. The Adams who fail, according to this, will be fortunate enough not to suffer eternally (or at least for a thousand years); perhaps that will be the reward for having fallen from heaven for love and not for greed or hatred. Thus, the punishment of hell is reserved for crimes against heaven. Those who did not sin out of greed or hatred, but were ensnared by the tricks of Eve and the demons, will not suffer hell for what happened in heaven; however, having drawn near to the devil and his idols on Earth, and having renounced God, they will not be able to return to heaven. They will be wiped out in the blink of an eye. Without suffering.

The last two chapters, 21 and 22, speak clearly of heaven—or perhaps our own heaven—for those who have attained it: a Tree of Life in the middle of the river, one bank for the faithful angels, the other for mankind. This is clearly seen in Ezekiel's new temple p.90.
Rev 22:2 In the middle of the square, on either side of the river, stands a tree of life, bearing fruit twelve times a year, once every month; and its leaves serve as medicine for the nations.
It is the image of God, at the Centre, that inspired the cover of this essay.
