WHEN THE LORD QUOTES WHAT MEN SAID If the LORD said it, He will surely do it — His Word is not like the words of human beings or words of the devil the father of lies and liars: for to the Word of the LORD, men are seen as liars and the sons of men as having the tongues of guile. As it is written, [Psalms 116:9-11 AKJV] — "I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living. I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted: I said in my haste, All men are liars." [Romans 3:4 AKJV] — "God forbid: yes, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That You might be justified in Your sayings, and might overcome when You are judged." The Word of the LORD is not a man that He should lie, or the son of man that He should repent and change from what He said, even if or when the LORD said it as a Man, in man or through a man. The use of “man” or “son of man” in this context is not necessarily mankind created in the Image of God, but a personification of “a Liar” as in stereotype. The same way dogs are stereotype for fornicators, whores, harlots or sex-addicts, so are men stereotype for liars. Ironically, men themselves stereotyped “Politicians” as Liars, but all men are liars stereotypically. The devil is the Father of lies or liars, but lies and liars are more stereotypical to men than to the Devil or demons. So, when we say God is not a man, we imply God does not tell lies or falsehood, neither does His Word fail or fall. Nevertheless, the words of men sometimes speak the Word of God; and the Word of God in turn sometimes speak the words of men. Example: [Ezekiel 12:27 BSB] — "“Son of man, take note that the house of Israel is saying, ‘The vision that he sees is for many years from now; he prophesies about the distant future.’" [Ezekiel 12:27 LBP] — "Son of man, behold, the children of the house of Israel say, The vision that he sees is for the distant future, and he prophesies of the times that are far off." ♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️ In this Bible verse in Red, the Word of the LORD said or quoted what the words of the men of the house of Israel were saying concerning the visions, messages, prophecies of the messenger and prophet of God — but the Word of the LORD was saying or quoting “” the words/sayings of men here to expose, defeat, nullify or reprove, what those words/sayings of men while the Word of the LORD was speaking to the son of man, the prophet. So, even when the Word of God quotes or recites the sayings/words of men, those words of men do not become the words of God. The LORD saying what I said in secret to other persons does not mean the LORD has affirm/confirm my saying, but means the LORD has expose, known, heard or talk my saying. So, not even everything the LORD said is the Word of the LORD, especially when His Speech or Commentary contains a reference, quotation or recitation of the words and sayings of men, like in the top Bible verse in Red where He said all thing in the Verse, but in about half of them He quoted men's sayings. The men's saying the Word of the LORD quoted here was in turn also talking about the Word of the LORD as in the Visions, Messages, Prophecies of the Word of the LORD — And those men's sayings termed or classified these components of the Word of the LORD as far distant future events; while the seer or prophet was deemed “A Man Who Saw Tomorrow” — seeing visions and preaching/prophesying messages that were not relevant to their current times or realities, but for far future or end-times that sounded like myth then. When the preacher was always bringing messages from “Genesis,” some of the people wanted the preacher to go to “Revelation” and tell things to come in tomorrow's future and not just things that were in yesterday's past/history. And then the preacher relocated to “Revelation,” and they still complain that his messages were in future and abstract, and not pragmatic or in touch with current affairs such as the gossips, politics, trending, hot-topics, news, today. [Isaiah 41:22-23 FBV] — "“Let them come and tell us what's about to happen. Let them explain the things of the past, so that we can think about them and discover the final outcome. Or they can tell us about the future. Predict what's coming so we can know for sure that you are gods. At least do something, good or bad, to impress us when we see it."

THE HORN AND THE TEN HORNS A “Kingdom” is often referred to a domain and dominion under the power of a king or ruler; and also kingdom is often tied to a nation, a people or country. But you should be conversant with a kingdom of multiple kings, kingdom of multiple peoples, or kingdom of multiple nations. The kingdom of Babylon was a kingdom of one monarch (one king) at a time and one people called the Chaldeans or Babylonians — It was not a kingdom with multiple kings at once or multiple nations/peoples. But after the kingdom of Babylon, came another kingdom of two kings and two nations/peoples but one and same kingdom of Medians and Persians — In Daniel-8, you will read of a Ram having two horns, though one was taller than the other: and the Ram was a kingdom, but the two horns were two kings, meaning two peoples or nations — the Persians and the Medians. The greatest example of a kingdom with multiple kings or peoples is the very Kingdom of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ — Kingdom of Heaven. The Kings in the Kingdom of God are uncountable to us now. Infact, it is called a Kingdom of Priests and Kings, and a holy Nation built with selected people from all tribes, all nations, peoples, all races, all ages and times, together. In the previous kingdoms, a king of kings means the king of those kingdoms is king of kings that are not part of those kingdoms: but in the kingdom of God, King of Kings means the King of the Kings that are all part of the Kingdom. That “Destroying Kingdom” was a kingdom of multiple kings, coming under one kingdom — By defunct there were ten kings, later three were ousted by a new rising king that was neither part of the ten kings nor anything in common [Daniel 7:24 LBP] — "And as for the ten horns out of this kingdom, they are ten kings that shall arise and another king shall arise after them; and he shall be greater than the first, and he shall defeat three kings." [Daniel 7:24 BSB] — "And the ten horns are ten kings who will rise from this kingdom. After them another king, different from the earlier ones, will rise and subdue three kings." ♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️ In this Main Bible verse in Red, two sets of kings were to rise or arise in the Destroying Kingdom: ◇1◇ — The First Set of kings comprised in the Ten Kings, seen as ten horns ◇2◇ — The Second Set was a lone or one man squad that rose after, as the last king of that destroying kingdom. The rising of this king meant the rising of destruction, and as you saw three kings had to be taken out at emergence of this king. The interpreter taught Daniel in this main Bible verse in Red that the second or last to rise king was greater and different from the first set, and I add ten of them combined could not match the last king to rise. I will now refer to that last king the Chief king of the destroying kingdom. When the chief king began to rise, there was no vacancy or empty throne for king in that kingdom. Well, he knocked off three of the ten kings to make room for himself — he would have knocked off the remaining seven kings if they had not willingly given their power and allegiance to him. In the book of Revelation, particularly Revelation 17, that chief king was no longer a horn but a full beast, while those seven kings were no longer horns too but became seven heads of the beast that supposed to be the eighth. And then there were a new set of ten horns (ten kings), which had not received any kingdom yet: — But even these ten kings would willingly give their power and allegiance to the Beast or to the chief king. There was also a LovePeddler that rode the beast and sat on its seven heads, until God Himself put it in the heart of those ten kings to give their power/dominion to the beast, and so that the beast eventually destroyed the LovePeddler/Prostitute - the mother of harlots. [Revelation 17:12-13,16-17 BSB] — "The ten horns you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but will receive one hour of authority as kings, along with the beast. These kings have one purpose: to yield their power and authority to the beast. … And the ten horns and the beast that you saw will hate the prostitute. They will leave her desolate and naked, and will eat her flesh and burn her with fire. For God has put it into their hearts to carry out His purpose by uniting to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God are fulfilled."

THE WORD REMAINS THE WORD OF THE LORD The Word of the LORD and the Spirit of the LORD do come to men, dwell with men, and have men express or transcribe Them to the world as mediums, oracles or interface. However, no matter how much They mix with mankind and the world: •1• — The Word of the LORD remains the Word of the LORD forever, and does not get converted into the Word of men. Even now, the Word became flesh and dwelt among men as the Son of man, He is still the Word of God. •2• — The Spirit of the LORD remains the Spirit of the LORD forever, and does not get converted into the Spirit of men. Even now, the Spirit became breath of life in the nostrils of men, He is still the Spirit of God. [Job 27:3]. By the way, if scientists tell you that it's mere oxygen that man breathes to make him alive, tell the scientists to prove it by bringing a fresh dead body, and force/pump oxygen into the dead body, and if the dead become alive, then it's indeed the oxygen we breathe and carbondioxide we breathe out that keeps us alive. Behold, breath of life is greater than oxygen or carbondioxide. [Ezekiel 12:26 BSB] — "Furthermore, the Word of the LORD came to me, saying," [Ezekiel 12:26 GWN] — "The LORD spoke His Word to me. He said," ♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️ The Word of the LORD does not become the word of man even if He came to man, became man or came from man: He may be expressed by instruments, mediums or channels, of men: Yet do not confuse Him as the Word or Spirit of man, but the Word or Spirit of God. Ironically, the LORD Himself may be a Man or Son of man, but His Word does not become the Word of man even when the LORD is the Son of man. When he testified God is not a man that He should lie or repent, that was the revelation of the Word of the LORD: [Numbers 23:19 BSB] — "God is not a man, that He should lie, or a son of man, that He should change His mind. Does He speak and not act? Does He promise and not fulfill?”

DEVOURING KINGDOM, DESTROYING KINGDOM [1 Peter 5:5-9 AKJV] — "Likewise, you younger, submit yourselves to the elder. Yes, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resists the proud, and gives grace to the humble. Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care on him; for he cares for you. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brothers that are in the world." This Bible reference summarized what I earlier said about being clothed with humility (subject or submission) and at the same time being clothed with the while armor of God (be sober, vigilant) to resist (wrestle) the adversary (the devil) with being steadfast in faith, knowing/enduring the same afflictions the saints or your brothers in the world have accomplished (fulfilled). Afflictions or sufferings are part of the assignments the saints are to fulfill by experience, endurance and faith — If you will not fulfill your afflictions and obedience that your kind (the saints) have fulfilled, how can you fulfill your purpose and calling and bear fruits to He who called you? If a woman would not fulfill her labors and travail, how can she bear and bring forth the fruit of her womb? However, I speak of even a greater afflictions than those our brethren fulfilled — And the reason is because: ●A● The adversary the devil, whom those brethren only had to resist, to deal with and to endure in fulfilling afflictions — was our adversary the devil, who walks as a roaring lion, seeking whom to devour or hunting for prey. But: ●B● The adversary we have to resist, deal with or endure to fulfill afflictions from — is not only our adversary the devil, who walks as a roaring lion, seeking who to devour or hunting for prey, but greater than a lion seeking or hunting whom to devour, this one is not just adversary but “Antichrist -Kingdom,” and not just like a roaring lion hunting whom to devour but more than as a lion is the fourth beast different from all others, and not seeking whom to devour, but devours the entire whole of the earth, crush the earth and break it into pieces. At least a roaring Lion seeks or hunts, and may not devour everyone, but this none-alike beast devours everyone or everything that is of the earth, and no part of the earth will escape from being devoured by this beast, which is a Kingdom I call — “Devouring Kingdom.” [Daniel 7:23 LBP] — "Thus he said to me: The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon the earth, which shall be greater than all the kingdoms and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down and break it in pieces." [Daniel 7:23 BSB] — "This is what he said: ‘The fourth beast is a fourth kingdom that will appear on the earth, different from all the other kingdoms, and it will devour the whole earth, trample it down, and crush it." ♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️ That's the “Devouring Kingdom” discussed in this main Bible verse in Red. But since “devouring” was not the only thing the kingdom does in this vision, let's improve what I called “Devouring Kingdom” to “Destroying Kingdom.” In the scriptures, there was a kingdom called “Destroying Mountain:” Written [Jeremiah 51:25-26] — "“Behold, I am against you, O destroying mountain, you who destroy the whole earth, declares the LORD. I will stretch out My Hand against you; I will roll you over the cliffs and turn you into a charred mountain. No one shall retrieve from you a cornerstone or a foundation stone, because you will become desolate forever,” declares the LORD." Well, that kingdom called “Destroying Mountain” was Babylonian kingdom, which also destroyed the whole earth as you read in the last Bible reference. But in the main Bible verse in Red is a kingdom I call “Destroying Kingdom” that would destroy the whole earth far more degree than the destroying mountain ever had — for the destroying kingdom would devour the whole earth, and then trample the earth down, and crush it after devouring it. Other things common between the ‘Destroying Mountain and the Destroying Kingdom’ is that apart from both having destroyed the whole earth: °1° Both the Destroying Mountain and the Destroying Kingdom, destroyed the temple structures of the saints in Zion or Jerusalem. °2° The Chief king of the Destroying Mountain destroyed the Temple of the saints in Jerusalem, destroyed all the walls of Jerusalem and led the saints into captivity. Similarly, the Chief king of the Destroying Kingdom would wage war against the saints and overcome them, would change the Laws and Times of the saints, and end the daily offering, to setup the Abomination that makes desolate even in the temple, and attempt to wear out the saints of Zion, and lead many into captivity and death of the beheaded. °3° That chief king of the destroying mountain once set up a sculptured and graven image of him, and commanded all men to bow down and worship the image he set up and proclaimed as “god” over all tribes, peoples, languages and nations, of the whole earth — and that whoever would not worship his image shall not live but be cast into the Burning fiery furnace of great fire. Even so and much more would the chief king of the destroying kingdom do. °4° The chief king of the destroying mountain was driven from men into beast and after seven years restored to men and became converted to the LORD. But the chief king of the destroying kingdom used to be before and was in the bottomless pit (abyss); and when he was restored back to men or made to ascend from the Bottomless Pit and to gain the kingdom for seven years, and his deadly wound was healed. In midst of the seven years or three and half years, he revealed he was irredeemable because he was the personification of the Son of destruction: ……….He's the “Son of Perdition” (Destruction). ……….The thief comes to steal, kill and destroy, but he did not come to steal or to kill, but come to destroy. ……….He's the “Abomination that makes Desolate” (Destruction). ……….He's the “Man of Sin” personified — The Lawless one. ……….He's a Chief of Leading into Captivity, and never sets a captive free. ……….He's full of names of Blasphemies — To have his name or mark on your forehead or hand is to be sealed for eternal destruction forever. Same with even worshipping him with those names of Blasphemies on him, or worshipping, having sexual intercourse, or kissing any image or any person having those his mark/names of Blasphemies on them — is tantamount to joining yourself with them that bear those names of Blasphemies or mark of his identity as son of Perdition forever — there is no repentance from that. THE DESTROYING KINGDOM There have been and will be diverse kingdoms in connection with the earth: but the fourth beast in Daniel's night vision was a unique Kingdom that was even more different than the differences common with the other Kingdoms. You might get the reasons later, but first understand that the same kingdom began with devouring the whole earth first before the kingdom began to even trample or tread on the earth or before it began to crush the earth. When the Lord Jesus Christ applied the sign of Jonah, He related the earth to the beast that swallowed Jonah while He related Himself to Jonah in the belly of the beast when He's in the heart of the earth or centre of the earth or hell. Behold, the destroying kingdom is like the beast while the whole earth is like Jonah in the belly of the beast, when the earth is been devoured by this destroying kingdom; and afterwards trampled and crushed by this destroyer. Nevertheless, as the LORD had been against the destroying mountain that destroyed the whole earth, even so and much more shall the Lord destroy those who destroy the earth. As it is written, [Revelation 11:18 BSB] — "The nations were enraged, and Your wrath has come. The time has come to judge the dead and to reward Your servants the prophets, as well as the saints and those who fear Your name, both small and great— and to destroy those who destroy the earth.”"

“I-AM-THE-LORD” IS STRONGER THAN “YOU-ARE REBELLIOUS” Look, your “Amen” or (in opposite) your “God forbid/over my dead body” — does not control or determine when/whether the word of the LORD happens or not. His Words regard “who the LORD is” above “who the Rebellious are.” Being rebellious or protesting against what the LORD says would not delay or deter the LORD from performing His Word anytime or anywhere. If you have not learned this in the easier way, you may have to learn it in a harder way — Resistance of the Rebellious cannot stop/defer the Word of the LORD even during the days of the resistance and of the rebellious. Therefore: [Ezekiel 12:25 LBP] — "For I am the LORD; I have spoken, and the word which I speak I shall perform it; and I shall no more delay it; for in your days, O rebellious house, I will speak the word and will perform it, says the LORD God." [Ezekiel 12:25 GWN] — "I, the LORD, will speak. Everything that I say will happen without any more delay. I will say something, and it will happen during your lifetime, you rebellious people, declares the Almighty LORD.'"" ♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️ In this Main Bible verse in Red, ●1● — God described Himself thus: “I AM THE LORD” ●2● — God described the people thus: “REBELLIOUS PEOPLE/HOUSE” It's not like some democracies, in which the people's voice, protests, rebellion or over their dead bodies, could prevent their Lord from proceeding with whatever he said he would do in their days, before the resistance or rebellion. The LORD's words are stronger than the over-our-dead-bodies or God-forbid of the most Rebellious people — The Word of the LORD will happen in their time or days no matter how much “over-my-dead-body” “not-in-my-lifetime” or “not-while-I-live” they say in rebellion/resistance to Words of the LORD.

SUB- STANDING The Apostle that taught and wrote that all soul be subject to higher powers (authorities) and should not resist/wrestle them because they are ordained by God, and Rulers are not meant to be terror against goodworks but to be terrors against evil — even that same Apostle later taught and wrote that we wrestle (resist) against the principalities, against powers, against rulers of darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. In “Romans 13:1-4,” he described the rulers as terrors to evil, and he taught submission to those rulers without resisting (wrestling) those rulers. But in “Ephesians 6:12-14” he described the rulers as rulers of darkness of this world-spiritual wickedness in high places and he taught wrestling (resisting) in opposition against those rulers. What happened to “They were ordained by God?” The first speaks of putting on Humility, while the second speaks of putting on the whole armor of God. Putting on Humility will enable you to be subject to higher powers, but also putting on the whole armor of God will enable you stand and wrestle them in Humility, less you fall. It's not just putting on one of these, but putting on both of these are required, especially putting the whole armor of God within as underwears, and then cover or camouflage them with the mantle of Humility. — For not every time or everyday you find rulers as terrors to evil, but sometimes they are rulers of darkness favoring evil and wickedness — notwithstanding whether God ordained them or not. No contradiction in both — but do not let your subjection/submission to higher powers remove or undermine your Standing in righteousness and truth in the evil days. The point is — You can be subject while you are still standing: — let no one fool you into believing that unless you fall down you cannot greet a ruler/king, unless you kneel down you cannot propose to a woman, or unless you bow down you cannot do goodworks. You can do all these things while still standing. — Keep this secret as treasure in your heart — As the saints of the Most High in this world or in any warfare/battle, “Your spiritual Standing in more important than your spiritual bowing, falling or submission.” Do all to stand, and if you can, do all things with your spirit man (inner man) standing even if your flesh is weak, fallen or down:” — Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, kept their standing above keeping their submission to higher rulers ordained by God, even in the face of burning fire of furnace. They stood up and walked

WHERE THERE'S NO FALSE VISIONS In the preceding main Bible verse in Red, the LORD had declared that the time will be at hand for every vision to come true, and thus He will defeat the proverb in Israel that said, “The time is prolonged, and the vision fails.” He said “Every Vision in Israel will come true, for the time is at hand or near for every vision in Israel to come true.” He did not say “Every True vision will come true at hand;” but “Every vision will come true at hand.” – He didn’t filter the true visions from the false/fake visions. So, does it mean even the fake/false visions will also come true? What if fake or false prophets prophesy or declare fake visions from their own mind, would the fake prophecies, fake visions, fake messages or gospel of flatteries suddenly come to pass just because “The appointed time is at hand, and every vision must come true” and some prophets took authority to declare/prophesy things, when the LORD has not commanded them to say nor approve thereof? No, when the LORD said every vision, message or prophecy in Israel will no longer delay before it comes true, He also said the reason will be because there will be no more false visions, no fake prophecies or no false prophets or pastors will be in Israel by then, when every vision shall happen at hand there. [Ezekiel 12:24 BSB] — "For there will be no more false visions or flattering divinations within the house of Israel," [Ezekiel 12:24 FBV] — "There won't be any more false visions or fake prophecies among the Israelites," ♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️ From the beginning, there is enchantment against Jacob and no divination against Israel [Numbers 23:23]. But when the devil saw there is no divination against Israel, the devil planted fake divinations including fake visions, false prophecies, flatteries or counterfeit gospels in Israel. So, divination against Israel could not stand; but lying and seducing divinations within Israel could yet stand — Until the LORD declared this in the main Bible verse in Red. By now you should have known that some false or fake prophets see visions, make declarations or prophecies, using divinations or unclean spirits. The day the LORD will totally remove all false prophets, false pastors, false visions or fake gospels/flatteries out of Israel, will also be the day He will remove unclean spirits or lying demons in the mouths of those prophets or pastors, which also enabled them to use divinations, enchantment, spell, speaking in tongues of incantations, and lying wonders. Remember how a lying spirit was on the mouth of about four hundred prophets in Israel, and they where prophesying or preaching prosperity in a motivational message to charge the king to “Go” or “make the move” to Ramoth-Gilead and prosper. [1 Kings 22:6-26]. The points are: •1• — Eliminating false visions & divinations out of Israel means eliminating false prophets, titles of idols, wizards, false pastors etc, out of Israel as well. •2• — Eliminating false prophets and titles of idols or idolatrious names/titles out of Israel means eliminating the evil/unclean spirits connected with them. [Zechariah 13:2-7 LG] — "“And it shall come to pass in that day,” says the Lord of hosts, “that I will utterly destroy the names of the idols from off the land, and there shall be no longer any remembrance of them; and I will cut off the false prophets and the evil spirit from the land. And it shall come to pass, if a man will yet prophesy, that his father and his mother which gave birth to him shall say to him, ‘You shall not live; for you have spoken lies in the name of the Lord.’ And his father and his mother who gave him birth shall bind him as he is prophesying. “And it shall come to pass in that day, that the prophets shall be ashamed, everyone of his vision, when he prophesies; and they shall clothe themselves with a garment of hair, because they have lied. And one shall say, ‘I am not a prophet, but I am a farmer, for a man brought me up thus from my youth.’ And I will say to him, ‘What are these wounds between your hands?’ And he shall say, ‘ Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.’ “Awake, O sword, against My shepherds, and against the man who is My citizen,” says the Lord Almighty. “Strike the shepherds, and draw out the sheep: and I will bring My hand upon the little ones." Therefore, where there is no vision, it is the people who perish (Proverbs 29:18): but where there is no false vision, it is the false prophets who perish.

THE MAIN EVENT “Ancient of Days” is not the same as ‘Ancient in days’-Days here mean time: ♤•A•♤ — Ancient of Days means One who is the Father of Days/Time, or the Elder/One who has been and exists before Time began to exist, or the Ruler/One outside, above and beyond Time, Space and Matter (Universe). ♤•B•♤ — Ancient in Days means one who has been in ancient time or from ages past, all within the boundaries of Time or timeliness. Thus, Ancient of Days is One outside the boundaries of Time, but Ancient in Days is one inside the boundaries of Time but from primordial or primeval ages. Here is understanding: — The Ancient of Days commands Time, Chance and Judgment: and behold, time, chance and judgment, overrule the kingdoms of men, their abilities and their outcomes. How could the best of men be ruled or governed by the worst of men? How could those who are very intelligent, wise, and brilliant, become the servants or employees under men not intelligent, not wise or not knowledgeable? How do such upset or imbalance happen in life, depriving from the worthy to favor the unworthy, and the unworthy celebrate such as grace or goodness of God, but in reality such are imbalances or injustice of whatever is reward system? [Ecclesiastes 9:11 BSB] — "I saw something else under the sun: The race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong; neither is the bread to the wise, nor the wealth to the intelligent, nor the favor to the skillful. For time and chance happen to all." It is an error of “Time and Chance” happening to all men. This error was also described as evil under the sun when time and chance elevate/promote fools but demote/obscure the wise. This error or evil comes in various forms of injustices, including in social media algorithms and search engines rankings. [Ecclesiastes 10:5-7 LBP] — "There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, like an error which proceeds from before a ruler: The fool is set in high and powerful places, and the rich shall sit in a low place. I have seen servants riding upon horses, and princes walking like servants on the ground.” The biggest and worst of this error and evil under the sun is the beast making war against the saints and prevailing over the saints — The man of sin ruling or overcoming all the men of righteousness is the greatest error, upset, and imbalance of time and chance under the sun. Antichrist defeating the saints in warfare or in custody of the kingdom is the greatest error and evil of all ages. [Proverbs 25:26 AKJV] — "A righteous man falling down before the wicked is as a troubled fountain, and a corrupt spring." Therefore, because of this greatest of such error, evil, upset, imbalance, and injustice, the era of the reign of “Time and Chance” was ended forever by the Ancient of Days; and then the era of the reign of “Time and Judgment” was inaugurated by the Ancient of Days to take over. Therefore, 42 months in which the Antichrist or the beast of sin ruled and subdued the saints and the righteous was, and shall be, the last time that “Time and Chance” will ever happen to men on earth under the sun — for the Ancient of Days came and Judgment took over from chance, and Judgment (Justice) given to the saints. [Daniel 7:22 LBP] — "Until the Ancient of days came and gave judgment to the saints of the Most High; and the time came when the saints possessed the kingdom." [Daniel 7:22 BSB] — "until the Ancient of Days arrived and pronounced judgment in favor of the saints of the Most High, and the time came for them to possess the kingdom." ♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️ The Word “Until the Ancient of Days came" used in the main Bible verse in Red speaks of a period of 42 months or three and half years between the time the man of sin or the beast (Antichrist) made war against the saints, subdued, ruled over the saints to the time the Ancient of Days came. You have heard that the Antichrist will come, but in this main Bible verse you have also heard that the Ancient of Days will come. Do not fear the coming of the Antichrist for when the Antichrist comes, the Ancient of Days comes also. Time and Chance will no longer be under the sun, because Judgment will be to saints and time will forever be the Saints possessing the Kingdom forever. The two names or titles used for God in this main Bible verse in Red include: ♡1♡ — The Ancient of Days — God the Father, ♡2♡ — The Most High — The LORD (Jesus Christ). Behold, therefore, the Main Event: The Beast or Antichrist was given the dominion, the conquest, the victory, etc., over the Saints and over all tribes, peoples and nations, of the earth. But one thing that was not given to the beast but given to the saints, which made all the difference and changed the game, was “Judgment given to the Saints.” Don't always win the fight, the war, the argument, the strive, the contention; rather you should care more about winning the Judgment of God in any matter. Let God judge and His judgment favor you above your adversaries and enemies or even your brethren. It's not always about winning the war or the matter, but always about gaining the judgment and justice of God. The Lord Jesus Christ Himself was arrested, condemned, publicly disgraced, crucified and killed, though He was righteous: His enemies celebrated His downfall and rejoiced they were able to destroy Him. Meanwhile, He could have called for angels and men to deliver Him or even deliver Himself and destroy all those His enemies with a word, but He rather gain the Judgment than gain the war or triumph. Behold, He is now the final Judge of all men. That's the Main Event — Gaining or winning the Judgment of the Ancient of Days — Having Eternal, Everlasting and Endless sustainability or endurance. This secret was hidden to the Antichrist in the days he gained the wars and the Dominion over the Saints; but the secret was revealed to the Saints and they were taught not to take up their sword (weapons) to fight the Antichrist during the war, but instead they should keep faith and patience, even though not taking up the sword (weapons) to fight the beast meant the beast would prevail over them in the war. Why should the saints not take up the sword to defend themselves in war against the Antichrist? Because he who kills with the sword shall be killed by the sword in the Day the Ancient of Days sits in Judgment, even as you saw the Beast was killed and cast into the fire. [Revelation 13:7-10] — "And power was given to the beast over all tribe and kindred and tongue, and nation, and it was given to him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them. And all who dwell upon the earth shall worship him, even those whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. If any man has ears, let him hear. He who leads into captivity, shall go into captivity; he who kills with the sword, must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints." So, ■A■ Because the Saints are interested in winning and gaining the Judgment of God more than they are interested in winning any war with the devils or with men, the Saints should not take up the sword and should not lead in any one into captivity or judge (condemn) anyone. ■B■ But after the Saints get the Judgment of God, and no more Judgment for them to strive to win or gain, then the Saints who were not taking up the Sword (Weapons) before will begin to now take up Sword (weapons) and fight wars and execute Judgment, even as it shall be in Armageddon War. Before their Judgment, tell the Saints not to take up or use the Sword in war; but after they receive their Judgment, tell the Saints to take their Sword and kill any idiot worth killing in war. Before their Judgment, tell the Saints not to judge lest they are judged; but after they receive their Judgment, tell the Saints to judge and condemn any fool or idiot worth judging and condemning. Before their Judgment, tell the Saints not to revenge but to leave vengeance for God; but after they receive their Judgment, tell the Saints to revenge all disobedience now that their obedience is fulfilled. Before their Judgment, tell the Saints not to make war even though the devils or the beast makes war against them; but after they receive their Judgment, tell the Saints to make or wage war, but make or wage the war in righteousness and Judgment (Justice). [Revelation 19:11 BSB] — "Then I saw heaven standing open, and there before me was a white horse. And its rider is called Faithful and True. With righteousness He judges and wages war." [Psalms 149:5-9 BSB] — "Let the saints exult in glory; let them shout for joy upon their beds. May the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a double-edged sword in their hands, to inflict vengeance on the nations and punishment on the peoples, to bind their kings with chains and their nobles with shackles of iron, to execute the judgment written against them. This honor is for all His saints. Hallelujah!"

HIS VISIONS ARE AT HAND Many of the proverbs, mantra, idioms, attruisms, figures of speech, riddles or parables, of the philosophies of the wisemen and their gods or ancestors, are factual — They were saying facts of life, times and things, which in were able to make hearers wise, equipped, and empowered to successfully navigate the pitfalls and problems of life, times and things. People use them because they relate with facts, evidence and they apply better to life, to times and to things. So, if the Lord will reform us from them, I do not suppose He will force us to deny their facts, evidence or well applied allegory: — Forcing us to throw them away when they are still very relevant and applicable to life, times and things around us, is like having a tree of knowledge of good and evil that is able to make one wise nearby, and the Lord forbidding us from eating of the tree. It's also like having an object that is red in color, but forcing us to not say it's red (because the proverbs of men say it's red), but to say it's white or blue. Some were taught not to confess negative facts or confessions, but only confess positive expectations and confess what they want to see instead of what is factual or evident now. For example, if any of them is sick and even dying, he would tell people, “I am strong or healed;” or if he is lacking money, poor or in need of money, he will say, “I am rich.” That's deception. Faith is not positivity or positive confessions triumphing over negative facts or refusing to admit unfortunate or unpleasant evidences that are manifest. There's no application of faith that denies anything: If you find what looks like faith denying anything negative or positive, then it's not true faith: — True Faith may refuse things, but true faith never denies things. Refusal is not denial in faith: —Expedience makes faith refuse or prioritize things — though faith believes in all possibilities, but yet the faith follows Expedience. (1 Corinthians 10:23) — "All things are lawful (possible by faith) for me, but all things are not expedient (priority to faith): all things are lawful (in faith) for me, but all things do not edify (the faith)." God calls those things that are not as though they were, but God does not deny those things that were are though they were not. Even so, your faith should not deny the evidence or facts of things that are, but your faith should see beyond the evidence of things that are into being substance of things hoped for and evidence of things not seen, but having the higher expedience or priority in the faith. Therefore, though we walk by faith and not by sight, we still need/use our sight for our faith. You only need to grow beyond the levels of human sights, to walk in the realms of true faith — for the just shall shall live by faith, not by sight only. And those proverbs and wise sayings of men are applicable facts and useful evidences as far as the sights and sounds of men matter in life, times and things. Whereas, they do not matter or apply, except in opposition, as far as true faith, spiritual, eternal, visions and voices, matter. HOW HE WILL DEFEAT THE PROVERBS & WISE SAYINGS OF MEN There was a time I tried to defeat a saying among Christians around me, by enforcing some sanctions on anyone who used that saying (which is a title) around me. I made mistake in doing so, because I was forcing it on them or cutting them off whenever they use that title — so I repented from forcing anyone not to use that title, especially when they still see wisdom, logic or pleasure, in still using the title. The title I speak of is calling any man “Father in the Lord, spiritual father, reverend father etc.” I was using force or sanction to get back at those who still have their reasons for calling their pastors or spiritual leaders their father or daddy, but now I use defeating of the wisdom, facts, logic or evidence, in their use of such titles to turn them into foolishness so that they may see how foolish they are in calling a man of God their father or spiritual father. And yet, it's not easy to make a leopard change its spots. A man can remove a swine (pig) out of the dirt, but hardly remove the dirt out of the swine's (pig's) mindset and desires. If it's that easy, one could have made Muslims to throw away everything they held about Mohammad, Quran, Islam, hadiths, five pillars of Islam, Muslims prayer rosary etc, into the trash can or dustbin, set them all ablaze with fire, and then repent and be converted into the truth and eternal life in the Son of God, the Lord Jesus Christ. If it's that easy, one could have made the Roman Catholics to set ablaze with fire all the idols of saints and angels around them, and rest from reciting “Hail Mary full of grace… pray for us sinners now to the hour of our death” – for it's no longer sounding like a salutation but a curse. How would the LORD defeat that saying in Israel that is not of the LORD? [Ezekiel 12:23 LBP] — ""Tell them therefore, Thus says the LORD God: I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but say to them, The days are at hand when every vision shall come true." [Ezekiel 12:23 GWN] — ""Tell the people, 'This is what the Almighty LORD says: I will put a stop to the use of this proverb. You will no longer quote it in Israel.' Instead, tell them, 'The time is near when every vision will come true." ♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️ In this Main Bible verse in Red, the LORD instructed His prophet to prophesy He would put an end to that proverb or wise saying in Israel, and He also instructed the prophet to prophesy the change in time and seasons that defeats the said proverb. This means, He did not defeat the proverb in Israel by forcing people not to say or use it, as a law forbidding the use of such Proverbs — No. Rather, He defeated the facts, evidence, wisdom, logic, relevance or application, of the Proverb by changing the Times from “Time Prolonged” to “Time is at hand.” The Lord Jesus Christ, in His preaching and teaching, presented both change in Time and the Reality/Revelation of His Messages/visions. He presented the Kingdom of God “At hand or in the present time,” not just as in future time. He used terms like, the days are coming and already here now in present etc, — to eliminate prolonged time from His messages, so that all His messages were in all times in their appointed time. Behold, now is the appointed time, today is the day of salvation: — so that, even if His visions and messages may not cross over to you in your realm at this time, you may cross over to Realms where you may now experience His visions and messages at this time before they Manifest on earth. So, before they are done on earth in future, they are already done and happening now in heaven to whoever shall be with Him in paradise today or now. What He told you will happen, is already happening.

THE ANCIENT OF DAYS OR THE OLD ONE --- ● YOU ASKED OR YOU SAID: What does 'Ancient of Days' mean as expression? ● THE REPLY: In “Daniel 7:9,” the term "Ancient of Days" refers to God, emphasizing His “eternity” and “sovereignty.” This title is not about physical age but about God's “timelessness” and “supreme authority.” It highlights God's eternal nature, wisdom, and perfection. [Daniel 7:9 AKJV] — "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." Here, white hair is symbolic of God's purity and wisdom, not literal age. The title "Ancient of Days" stresses God's eternal existence and authority. --- ● YOU ASKED OR YOU SAID: Does white hair or wool-like hair truly means one is old or aged figure? ● THE REPLY: In the Bible's world of the higher and immortal Beings, white hair or wool -like hair is used symbolically to convey wisdom, purity, and holiness rather than actual physical age. While “white hair” may be associated with aging in humans, in the context of God and Christ, it represents divine qualities such as “eternal wisdom” and “moral perfection,” rather than age. For example, in “Revelation 1:14 (BSB),” the description of the Lord Jesus includes: — "His Head and Hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and His Eyes were like a flame of fire." — This “white hair” signifies purity and holiness, not old age in the human sense. For if it was in human sense, then His hair should have been like that of a thirty-two years or thirty-three years old youth He was when He was crucified and died on the cross. --- ● YOU ASKED OR YOU SAID: Ancient of Days is not Old or old figure. TRUE OR FALSE? ● THE REPLY: **TRUE.** The title "Ancient of Days" does not imply that God is "old" in the sense of aging. In Daniel 7:9 (AKJV), the title emphasizes God's eternal nature and His supreme authority, not physical aging. God's timelessness and perfect wisdom are being described, and the term "Ancient" is symbolic of His everlasting existence, not His age. God is eternal, beyond the confines of time and aging. The term “Ancient of Days” in Daniel is the same as the term “The One who was, who is, and who is to come – who lives forever and ever” in Revelation. --- ● YOU ASKED OR YOU SAID: In context of Romans 6:6, Ephesians 4:22, Colossians 3:9, and Revelation 12:9 or 20:2. The devil is the old or old figure. True or false? ● THE REPLY: **TRUE.** The Devil is not the Ancient of Days, and yet the Devil is as old as you are and more older than as you are. While the Ancient of Days Himself is not old at all, for He never changes. Anything that never changes never grows old. To become old, requires changes. “Ancient of Days” is not the same as “Ancient in days” — Peterch will tell you the difference between both, in the day he presents “The Main Event” in the main Bible verse of “Daniel 7:22.” Meanwhile, in the context of “Romans 6:6, Ephesians 4:22, Colossians 3:9, and Revelation 12:9 or 20:2,” the devil is metaphorically connected to the "old nature" or "old self" of sin and rebellion. - Romans 6:6: — "Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin." The "old man" refers to the sinful nature, which is influenced by the devil. - Ephesians 4:22: — "That you put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts." The "old man" refers to the sinful nature, associated with the devil's influence. - Colossians 3:9 (AKJV): — "Do not Lie one to another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his deeds." Again, the "old man" represents the sinful nature that the devil works through. - Revelation 12:9 and 20:2: In these verses, the devil is referred to as the "old serpent" and the "dragon," emphasizing his aged long role in deceptions, sins, corruption and rebellion. If anyone is joined with the devil, he is an old: and behold, that which is old decays, and is corrupt, soon to vanish away or pass away into second death prepared for the devil and for all the old with him. But if anyone is joined in Christ, he is a New Creation: old things are passed away from him, and behold all things in him are new things, that change not.

VISION: PROLONGED TIME VS. APPOINTED TIME As you keep the Lord's sayings and hear what the Spirit is saying, you come to discard some sayings of men, including their distorted sayings of proverbs, words of wisdom, idiomatic expressions, sayings according to their ancestry, traditions and cultures, etc., which formed their mindsets, opinions, beliefs and ideology of things and life. There are many of such distorted proverbs, mantra, idioms, attruisms, figures of speech, and parables (riddles) of speeches, that forms philosophies and mindsets of men, which they term as words of the gods or sayings of the wise ones. Know that the Lord would dismantle these distorted sayings, idioms and parables of speeches, among His people, as part of His reforming or renewing their mindset that they may no longer conform to the world or to such sayings, but rather be transformed or reformed. One of such sayings or parables (riddles) of speeches the Lord dismantled among His people was the saying, “This city is the cauldron (cooking pot), and we are the meat inside it.” Behold, the LORD began to also dismantle another of such distorted sayings in this main Bible verse: [Ezekiel 12:22 Web] — "“Son of man, what is this proverb that you have in the land of Israel, saying, ‘The days are prolonged, and every vision fails?’" [Ezekiel 12:22 FBV] — "“Son of man, what's this proverb you people have in the land of Israel: ‘Time goes by, and no vision comes true’?" ♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️ This saying, proverb, parable of speech or riddle of speech among the people connoted that “Delay means denial” — like saying, “Justice delayed is justice denied” but with reference to the visions as in “The Vision delayed is vision denied.” Prolonging times cannot kill the vision that has appointed time: — [Habakkuk 2:2-4 AKJV] — "..., Write the vision, and make it plain on tables, that he may run that reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith."

THE SAINTS AND THE BEAST AT WAR Who are the “Saints?” In the book of the Acts of the Apostles, three different names or terms were used to refer to certain kind of people who came from all tribes, all nations, all languages, together to form a new family of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God. These three names used for them were: ♤1♤ — “Christians” — The Christians ♤2♤ — “Disciples” — The Disciples ♤3♤ — “Saints” — The Saints You will not find any other Bible Book that contains all these three terms or names all in together, except the book of Acts in the Bible: not even all Bible translations have these but those related to King James Version. *— Before the book of Acts, the word “Christian(s)” does not exist in Bible, *— After the book of Acts, the word “Disciple(s)” does not exist in Bible, *— But before, during and after, the book of Acts, the word “Saints” always existed in the Bible and beyond. Actually, the Word “Saints” is the most authentic and timeless name for the true holy People of God in the Lord Jesus Christ. It had been since the days of Adam, and Enoch prophesied, saying, “Behold the Lord comes with ten thousands of His Saints…” in the book of Enoch (Jude 1:14). The saints are beyond the Jews or beyond the descendants of Israel or Abraham: before Abraham was, the saints have been. The point is, the saints are not under any tribe, language or nation, but those redeemed from all tribes, peoples, nations, languages etc. If you are still a slave to your tribe and ancestral traditions, you are not yet fully saint — To be saint, you must be called out of your people, tribe, tongue, nation, into a chosen generation, peculiar people in Christ Jesus. Precious in the sight of God is the death of His Saints (Psalms 116:15), which is also why those who rose from the dead out of their grave at the death of the Lord Jesus Christ were called “Saints” — the only time the word Saints was used in the four Gospels where the word “Disciples” ruled [Matthew 27:52] There are saints in heaven already even in the days of Daniel. In one of the visions of Daniel, Daniel saw one saint (not angel) talking to another saint in the visions [Daniel 8:13]. But also, there are saints in the earth. As it's written: [Psalms 16:3 Web] — "As for the saints who are in the earth, they are the excellent ones in whom is all My delight." Now, the saints who shall be in the earth in the days of the advent of the Antichrist Horn are the Saints the beast would fight against, and prevail against those saints. [Daniel 7:21 LBP] — "I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints and prevailed against them," [Daniel 7:21 BSB] — "As I watched, this horn was waging war against the saints and prevailing against them," ♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️ The Antichrist horn would be the One waging war against the saints, not even the saints waging war against the Antichrist. The saints are at the defensive while the Antichrist is at the attacking and invading fronts, and yet prevailing. If you think prevailing against the saints here is not the same as overcoming the saints here, then let's see the same report from a different eyewitness: [Revelation 13:7 Web] — "It was given to him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them. Authority over every tribe, people, language, and nation was given to him." [Revelation 13:7 BSB] — "Then the beast was permitted to wage war against the saints and to conquer them, and it was given authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation." Putting on the whole armor of God described by Paul in “Ephesians 6” will still not prosper the saints against this Principality or Power called Antichrist. In the main Bible verse in Red, Daniel as eyewitness to this, testified that “He watched or saw the horn made war against the saints and prevailed against the saints;” but no help, prayer, intercession, or support, from him or heaven to the saints was sent to prevent their losing to the beast or to the Antichrist. Even if saints from heaven had come down to the earth that period to help the saints in the earth, the beast would have still fought against the saints that came from heaven and prevailed against them also — not that the powers in the beast is greater than that which is in the Saints, but that is because it's the time given to the beast to do whatever it wanted for a period of 42 months. Infact, these actually happened, for two of the great saints in Heaven called “Witnesses” came down from heaven to earth with great power during the period, and yet the beast waged war against those saints and prevailed also: [Revelation 11:3-8 LG] — "And I will give power to My two witnesses, and they shall prophesy one thousand two hundred and sixty days, having been clothed in sackcloth." These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth. And if anyone wants to harm them, fire proceeds from their mouth and devours their enemies. And if anyone wants to harm them, he must be killed in this way. These men have power to shut heaven, so that no rain falls during the days of their prophecy; and they have authority over the waters to turn them into blood, and to strike the earth with every plague, as often as they wish. And when they finish their testimony, the beast who ascends out of the bottomless pit will make war with them, and will overcome them, and will kill them. And their dead bodies will lie on the street of the great city which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified."

THE SAYING OF THE SPOKEN WORD OF GOD When the little horn spoke, the man of God noted it spoke great words, but did not note what it was saying. As we walk closely with the Lord, we may notice many speakers do not worth our hearing or heeding to their sayings — for we are devoted to the Lord's sayings, and not to any other contrary saying. [Ezekiel 12:21 BSB] — "Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying," [Ezekiel 12:21 LBP] — "And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying," ♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️ In the Bible verse in Red, the Word of the LORD came as direct speech only to Ezekiel, but the saying of the Word of the LORD came to all of us to hear. In the faith and fellowship of the Lord's Churches, we all do not have to hear when the Lord's speaking, but we have to hear the Lord's sayings. Our hearing Him speaking is His Choice, but our hearing His sayings is our choice. ●A● There are those who heard Him speaking directly to them and still did not hear or keep His Sayings. ●B● There are those who did not hear Him speaking directly to them and still they heard and kept His Sayings. Know the difference: A man can hear Him and still die hearing Him, but no man who hears and keeps His saying will ever die. His Word is His Sayings: [John 8:51 KJV] — "Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep My saying, he shall never see death." [Luke 6:46-48 AKJV] — "And why call you Me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? Whoever comes to Me, and hears My sayings, and does them, I will show you to whom he is like: He is like a man which built an house, and dig deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently on that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded on a rock."

BEASTS WITH LONGER CANINES AND HORNS Usually, wild beasts that are gifted with longer Canines (teeth) and Claws are not also gifted with horns; and those gifted with horns usually do not have longer Canines (teeth) and sharper Claws. So, those with the longer Canines and Claws tend to be carnivorous and tend to fight and kill with their teeth bites and claws, because their power and weapons of destruction are basically their mouth Teeth (Canines) or strong Jaws and their claws. But those with horns tend to be herbivores and tend to fight and kill with their horns and head impacts, because their power and weapons of destruction are basically their horns or strong Skulls. ●Group A● — Beasts of Strong Formidable Jaws — e.g. with Canines ●Group B● — Beasts of Strong Formidable Skulls — e.g. with Horns There are beasts that do not fall in any of these categories since they neither have long Canines nor do they have horns. Such beasts fight with either kicks and stamps like the horses, stallions or giraffes; or fight with boxing like the Kangaroos; or fight with wiping either with tails or with long necks like the giraffes or camels, etc. Behold those two groups: those who's jaws are their weapons of destruction or victory over the others, and those who's horns are their weapons of victory or destruction over the others. Rarely you find one beast possessing both sides or having both the longer Canines and the Horns — Until this Fourth Beast in Daniel's visions appeared looking like none before it. It's like some Dragons in House of Dragons movie fiction, having dragons with horns and with such longer Canines, so that if the dragons are not fighting with their breath of fire, they would be fighting with their bites of their jaws: but they rarely fight with their horns. Daniel's desire for the truth of the fourth beast also extended to the desire for the truth of the ten horns on the fourth beast, and the extra horn that grew up afterwards and displaced three existing horns before it. The beast had iron teeth indicating the strongest jaws in biting force according to jaws of steel, and yet the beast possessed such a strong Skull that can comfortably sustain ten horns grown separately with each horn having its root on the skull of the Beast. The Beast was strongest in both Jaws and Skull - Iron teeth + 10 horns. [Daniel 7:20 LBP] — "And concerning the ten horns that were on its head, and the other horn which came up between them, and before which three fell, the horn that had eyes and a mouth that spoke very great things, whose appearance was greater than its fellows." [Daniel 7:20 BSB] — "I also wanted to know about the ten horns on its head and the other horn that came up, before which three of them fell— the horn whose appearance was more imposing than the others, with eyes and with a mouth that spoke words of arrogance." ♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️ In natural world, if one animal with horns fights with another sizable animal with Canines, you know by nature that the one with Canines would not only defeat the one Horns, but may kill and eat the one with horn. But I tell you, that in visions of the Lord, the animal with horns in the visions are stronger than a Beast with Canines and Claws. Example, a Ram with two horns is weaker than a Lion, Bear or Leopard in natural sense, but in a vision that Ram is stronger than a Lion, Bear or Leopard. The reason is because, Horns in Visions means Authorities, Powers or Kingdoms. Now, imagine this fourth beast with iron Teeth and ten horns versus the Lamb in the book of Revelation, and that Lamb has seven Horns. Or compare the great red Dragon with seven heads and ten horns to the Lamb with one Head and seven Horns; or even compare the beast with seven heads and ten horns to the Lamb with seven horns. The Lamb without Canines is far stronger or greater than the Beast or Dragon with Canines and more number of horns. The reason is because, the ten horns are ten Kings or ten Authorities and Powers, of the Beast or Dragon; but the Seven Horns of the Lamb are the Seven Spirits of God. One Spirit of God is already more than ten kings, ten authorities and powers combined; how much more the Seven Spirits of God. David with Spirit of God is greater than Saul as king in authority without the Spirit of God: for greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world (1 John 4:4). So, it is not also just about the number of horns the creatures possess, but much more about the nature and significance of the Horns. The seven Horns in the Lamb are much greater than the ten horns in the Dragon and Beasts because of what or who those Horns are. So also, the single horn in between the nose of the He-Goat like that of a rhinoceros was greater than the two great horns of the Ram. Or better comparison, a tiny little horn growing up on the None-Alike Horned Beast was already greater than three of the great ten horns, and the three great horns fell for the little horn, because the little horn was of a greater and higher strength, powers and authority, that those existing horns combined could not have withstand. In the main Bible verse in Red, the same beast that had skull strong enough to bear ten horns, could not bear that little horn extra without losing three horns to bear the weight and powers that the little horn was emerging with. It had to downsize or fire three horns in order to hire or accommodate the emerging one. And as soon as the little horn emerged, we were no longer hearing the beast devouring, breaking in pieces and stamping all on its path like before, because the little horn had taken over, and all the other horns are loyal to it. That little horn came with eyes of a man and with mouth that spoke great words, which no iron teeth or jaws were capable of doing. Nevertheless, though the little horn could talk and did spoke great things, none of the things it said was worth Daniel's recording/interest. Daniel desired to know who or what the little horn was, but despised to know whatever it said or was saying. We have the Seven Horns of the Lamb, who are the Seven Spirits of God: Yes these are the Horns we desire to know and to hear what they are saying to the Seven Churches. Whoever has ear, let him hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches.

CITIES TO BE DESTRUCTION FOR KNOWLEDGE Which would you prefer between these two underlisted against the other?: ■A■ — The earth full of technological advancements, great cities and great civilization, development everywhere etc., but there is no knowledge of God. ■B■ — The earth full of desolations, ruins, desertification, underdevelopment etc., but the earth is full of knowledge of the LORD as waters cover the sea. Figure my answer from this Bible reference: [2 Corinthians 10:3-6 FBV] — "Even though we live in this world, we don't fight as the world does. Our weapons are not of this world but God's mighty power that destroys fortresses of human thinking, demolishing misleading theories. Every high wall that stands tall and proud against the knowledge of God is knocked down. Every rebel idea is captured and brought into obedient agreement with Christ. When you are completely obeying Christ then we're ready to punish any disobedience." Humanly speaking, no one should choose destruction or desolation over great developments and advancements. But here, Christianity is not humanity: we are not called to practice humanity or mortality, but called to be disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ. Many have not fully grasped the difference between both. The first step into becoming born again Christian is to be alive outside your humanity and carnality. For that which is born of the flesh is flesh, but that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. As true disciples of the Lord, do not be quick to condemn any form of disaster or destruction that happens anywhere. The world would quickly condemn what they term as misfortune, calamity, disaster, damages, ruin or destruction; but disciples of the Lord would not be quick to condemn or even reject these things, but also they have no pleasure in them. They neither condemn nor approve any form of destruction on mankind or on the earth, but they do all in agreement with the Lord that if those destruction improve knowledge of the LORD on earth then they are worth happening. As those with humanity, it's not good to see beautiful, great cities and things brought to ruins in any way; but as those with spiritual vision, it is even worse to see great and beautiful people, cities and riches, lacking knowledge of God. This is even more terrible among those who are the people of the LORD. It's more bearable for a while that the non-people of God increase in wealth or riches, and cities, and technologies, etc, without knowledge of the LORD. But when that is the case with the people of God, it is much more terrible. So, supposing a pastor, bishop or prophet, works very well to move a people of God out of poverty and out of all afflictions, and successful established those people of God in prosperity, financial increase, wealth, estates and goodies of this life, but those people of God though wealthy do not have the requisite knowledge of the LORD - That pastor has done great works but all the works of that pastor shall end in vanity and destruction, for the things of the people of God he built shall still be destroyed for lack of Knowledge of the LORD. It is vengeance for having those things but lacking in knowledge of the LORD. [Hosea 4:6 BSB] - "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you as My priests. Since you have forgotten the law of your God, I will also forget your children." Do not build the house/people of God without knowledge: rather build the house/people of God through (by building) knowledge of the LORD: [Proverbs 24:3-5 LBP] — "Through wisdom a house is built; and by understanding it is established; And by knowledge the inner chambers are filled with all precious and pleasant riches. A wise man is better than a strong man; yea, a man of knowledge than a mighty man." “Knowledge of the LORD” not the same thing as “Acknowledge the LORD.” What that said pastor may be doing to the people he built includes getting them to always acknowledge the LORD with their offerings, gifts, worship, praises, thanksgivings, attendance to church fellowships and meetings, and sharing testimonies to glorify the Lord, celebrations etc. All these are “Acknowledge the Lord,” but they are still not “Knowledge of the LORD.” Cities and wealth built by the people of the LORD would be made desolate, not because they did not acknowledge the Lord enough, but because they must know the LORD enough even if that knowledge requires laying waste to the riches, wealth and prosperity of the people of God. [Ezekiel 12:20 BSB] — "The inhabited cities will be laid waste, and the land will become desolate. Then you will know that I am the LORD.’”" [Ezekiel 12:20 LBP] — "And the cities that are inhabited shall be laid waste, and the land shall become desolate; and you shall know that I am the LORD." ♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️ In this Main Bible verse in Red, the LORD told the man of God, that the inhabited cities of the people of God in Jerusalem shall be laid waste, and the land that was once their promised land shall become desolate, then their eyes will clear and they shall know “That I Am the LORD.” When their social and financial securities are laid waste, and their possessions become desolate, businesses stricken, then they will have no more excuses for treating You the LORD as secondary Master after their primary or first master called Mammon, money, Jobs, Businesses, Schools/Exams, come first in their daily pursuits and attendance. Yes, if necessary, take away also their idols and the church buildings that they call the house of God, so that they would be more committed to the LORD of the House than to the House of the LORD. [Mark 13:1-2 BSB] — "As Jesus was leaving the temple, one of His disciples said to Him, “Teacher, look at the magnificent stones and buildings!” “Do you see all these great buildings?” Jesus replied. “Not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.”"

DANIEL SOUGHT TRUTH OF THE FOURTH BEAST Those were concise and straight to the point reply that holy being among holy hosts of heaven gave to Daniel pertaining to all that Daniel had seen in those visions that year. It's like he used just two sentences or about forty words to summarily the entire visions, revelations and activities, Daniel had seen. There are beings who would summarize an entire chapter into sizes of just one or two verses when they explain things, and there are other beings who would elaborate one or two verses into sizes of a chapter, or a chapter into sizes of a book, when they explain things. I find myself in the elaborate kind. Well, Daniel got the overview, summary of the entire visions in few sentences from the holy one he asked. However, Daniel wanted some more details and elaboration, particularly concerning the fourth beast: — [Daniel 7:19 LBP] — "Then I wanted to know the truth concerning the fourth beast, which was different from all the others, exceedingly dreadful, whose teeth were of iron and whose nails of brass, which devoured and broke in pieces and stamped the residue with its feet;" [Daniel 7:19 BSB] — "Then I wanted to know the true meaning of the fourth beast, which was different from all the others— extremely terrifying— devouring and crushing with iron teeth and bronze claws, then trampling underfoot whatever was left." ♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️ In this Main Bible verse in Red, Daniel sought to know the truth about the fourth beast, when he already had the facts about the fourth beast. Of all the four beasts, understanding the fourth beast was the key to understanding the rest, but the fourth beast was the most mysterious and dreadful of them all. Facts do not still equate to the truth or true meaning in divine interpretation. Sometimes, the facts appear and matter in the visions and revelations, but they do not appear or matter in the truth or interpretation. Example, here are the facts about the fourth beast that appeared and mattered in the visions: *A* — It was a Beast. *B* — It was a Beast but unlike or different to all the other beasts before it. *C* — It was exceedingly dreadful or extremely terrifying, more threatening. *D* — Its teeth were iron or steel, suggesting it had iron jaws or steel bones. *E* — It nails or claws or talons were brass/bronze metal. *F* — It doesn't break or chew before it devours, rather it devours before it breaks in pieces, and then stamps/tramples the leftovers with its feet. A Python would fight and break or constrict before it devours, and a lion would first kill and tear/break flesh off, chew a little before it devours. But this fourth beast just devour like a whale would to small fish, and then break into pieces and stamp the residue of what it devoured. This implies, the claws of brass on its feet were usually the last arsenal it deployed to its preys. A typical cat or birds of preys would deploy their claws/talons and their teeth/beaks first to catch, break, kill or tear their prey before devouring their prey; but this fourth beast would deploy its claws last after devouring and crushing its prey. This is because other predators would work first for prey and on their preys before feeding on them; but this fourth beast would feed on its preys first before working on them. It starts fighting against the prey after it's done feeding on or devouring them, because the only fight it has with its prey is to crush their bones in pieces and to stamp its mark or place feet-print marks on the remains of whatever it devoured and crushed. Those were facts revealed about the fourth beast in the visions of Daniel, who hereby seeks the truth beyond those facts about the said beast. See the truth: [Daniel 7:23 BSB] — "This is what he said: ‘The fourth beast is a fourth kingdom that will appear on the earth, different from all the other kingdoms, and it will devour the whole earth, trample it down, and crush it."

ASTONISHMENT AND DESOLATION CAUSED BY VIOLENCE Does the LORD smite people? If yes, does the LORD smite with madness or astonishment? Or is madness or astonishment purely the works of unclean spirits or demons? [Deuteronomy 28:28 AKJV] — "The LORD shall smite you with madness, and blindness, and astonishment of heart:" Is it an accusation or a testimony to say, “The LORD is showing His own People hard things, and He is responsible for the Astonishment that caused things to be shaking and trembling? [Psalms 60:1-4 AKJV] — "O God, You have cast us off, You have scattered us, You have been displeased; O turn Yourself to us again. You have made the earth to tremble; You have broken it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shakes. You have showed Your people hard things: You have made us to drink the wine of astonishment. You have given a banner to them that fear You, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah." The Word of the LORD revealed the astonishment message in the table manner, saying to the prophet: [Ezekiel 12:19 AKJV] — "And say to the people of the land, Thus said the Lord GOD of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and of the land of Israel; They shall eat their bread with carefulness, and drink their water with astonishment, that her land may be desolate from all that is therein, because of the violence of all them that dwell therein." [Ezekiel 12:19 AFV] — "And say to the people of the land, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD to the people of Jerusalem and in the land of Israel, “They shall eat their bread with anxiety and drink their water with despair, so that her land may be desolate from all that is therein because of the violence of all those who dwell in it." ♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️ The LORD God would surely smite them with astonishment at eating and drinking, but they are not to put the blame (accusation) on the LORD; rather they should put the blame (accusation) on the Violence the people in that Land. For the LORD smites as the Righteous Judge, and violence must be avenged and purged. Speaking about Jerusalem or Judah, the Lord said, “I will break the staff of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by weight, and with care; and they shall drink water by measure, and with astonishment:" [Ezekiel 4:16] Hunger does reduce cities into desolation. When you see almajiris of Islam, walking around with empty plates begging for food, you see example of such: [Psalms 109:10] — "Let their children be continually vagabonds, and beg; let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places.” In the main Bible verse in Red, the target and goal for the Astonishment and scarcity is to make the land desolate because of violence of those who dwell in Jerusalem. Violence is part of the Abomination that makes desolate. Yes, violence brings the punishment of desolation. And as with Jerusalem, even Egypt and Edom went into desolation because of their people's violence: In the days of Joseph, the people of Egypt had to rather sell themselves for bread (food) to prevent their land from becoming desolate. – [Genesis 47:19]. But, what they prevented by Joseph eventually came upon them by violence: [Joel 3:19-21 BSB] — "Egypt will become desolate, and Edom a desert wasteland, because of the violence done to the people of Judah, in whose land they shed innocent blood. But Judah will be inhabited forever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation. For I will avenge their blood, which I have not yet avenged.” For the LORD dwells in Zion." And as for Zion, though Jerusalem was desolate, She later sang a new song. [Galatians 4:26-27 BSB] — "But the Jerusalem above is free, and she is our mother. For it is written: “Rejoice, O barren woman, who bears no children; break forth and cry aloud, you who have never travailed; because more are the children of the desolate woman than of her who has a husband.”"

THE SAINTS TO RECEIVE THE KINGDOM The reason the saints of God have not received the Kingdom yet is not that the Most High is not willing yet, for He's willing already and it will be His good pleasure to give the Kingdom to His Saints even now. [Luke 12:32 MKJV] — "Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom." However, He has ordained certain people as placeholders or custodians to keep running the kingdom in the ages wherein He is still trying and purifying the Saints to whom He appointed the Kingdom forever and ever. So, while He proves those of us worthy to rule with Him in the eternal Kingdom, that shall never end, before it begins; those Four Beasts and their offspring are those who must hold the kingdom until the time of their end, which is time for the Saints of the Most High to receive and possess the kingdom forever. [Daniel 7:18 AKJV] — "But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever." [Daniel 7:18 BSB] — "But the saints of the Most High will receive the kingdom and possess it forever— yes, forever and ever.’" ♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️ The use of the word “Take” here, as I earlier said, is improper for one taking power or authority to himself as the Saints of the Most High are said to do in this main Bible verse in Red according to some Bible translation, but corrected with “Receive” rather than “Take” by some other Bible translation. Saying the saints shall take the kingdom and possess it… means the saints fought and by their power captured the kingdom from the Four Beasts: — That will be aberration of Daniel 7:21 that states, "I watched, and that horn made war with the saints and overcame them." So, the saints couldn't have taken the kingdom, because the Saints couldn't have overpower or overcome the little horn or the beast, until the Saints received the Kingdom by the Son of man, the Lord Jesus Christ. So, do not worry about receiving the Kingdom, but worry about entering the Kingdom. Easier to receive the Kingdom than to enter the Kingdom: unless a man is born again he cannot enter the Kingdom, and whoever does not receive the Kingdom as a little child shall not enter It.

THE TABLE MANNER THAT SHOWS SORROWFUL MESSAGE In the Word of the LORD, this man of God was to put up a Live-Show to the people watching, and this time he was to eat and drink with trembling and shivering before them. It's a one-time ‘Table-Manner’ that shows or signifies a “Table Message.” And this is that one-time “Table-Manner” that I would add to the Voices and Visions of Eating and Drinking: [Ezekiel 12:18 AKJV] — "Son of man, eat your bread with quaking, and drink your water with trembling and with carefulness;" [Ezekiel 12:18 FBV] — “Son of man, tremble as you eat your bread; shake with worry as you drink your water." ♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️ Now, that I labeled, “Table-Manner that shows/signals Sorrowful Message.” Usually, eating and drinking are by default a show of feasting, feeding or enjoying: Sometimes, when someone is seen eating in public, the person is said to be enjoying or having a good time. But as disciples of the LORD, we should by now know that there are ways we Show or Signify a different message or vibes from the natural signals that come from eating and drinking. It's all about Acting or Showmanship, but like I earlier taught, even spiritual shows or acting of roles can be as serious as a life and death lines. Here are two examples of eating and drinking Live-Shows that required people of God to signify certain death or afflictions above the impression/idea of enjoying: ●1● — In this Main Bible verse in Red, the LORD Himself directed a show in which the man of God (Ezekiel) was to prioritize “The Show of Trembling, Fears, or Astonishment” in the way or manner he feeds on bread and water. This he must do to show the message of the People's Astonishment to come. ●2● — In this next Bible reference below, Christians were to prioritize “The Show of the Lord's Death” in the way or manner they feeds on certain bread and wine. This they must do to show the death of the Lord till He comes. [Corinthians 11:26 MKJV] — "For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you show the Lord's death until He shall come."

THE INTERPRETATION OR MEANING OF THE FOUR BEASTS IN DANIEL'S VISIONS We studied the Lion alike Beast, the Bear-Alike Beast, the Leopard-Alike Beast and the None-Alike Horned Beast, in Daniel's visions. I received questions like, What are those four Beasts? What do they represent? I had to wait for the main Bible verse in Red, since in it is the answer to the questions: [Daniel 7:17 AKJV] — "These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth." [Daniel 7:17 BSB] — "‘These four great beasts are four kings who will arise from the earth." ♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️ Again, every revelation of vision needs revelation of its truth (interpretation). So, in this main Bible verse in Red, is a New Revelation (truth/interpretation) to the revealed or seen visions. These erase the deceptions or distortions in it: °1° — The Great Tsunami and Great Sea seen in the visions, out of which the four beasts arose or ascended, were not literal :— For in the main Bible verse in Red, the domain was Earth, not Sea. So, the four shall arise from the earth. And therefore, the great Sea represented “Multitude of People” on earth, not literal sea or ocean like Oceania. Sea here means peoples or nations. °2° — The Great Beasts seen in the visions, which are four, were not literal :— For in the main Bible verse in Red, the Beasts are Kingdoms of Rulers. °3° — The Four of Heaven blowing upon the great sea seen in the visions, were therefore the four cardinal Poles — East, West, North and South. °4° — The Four Great Beasts seen in the visions by Daniel, were not yet on earth or in power in the days of Daniel, neither did Daniel encountered them literally but just in visions and revelations. °5° — The Four Beasts are four Kingdoms, but are not four Empires: They are Kingdoms, but they are not Empires. This means, they are not Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece or Rome — Empires. Rather, they are the King of the East (Lion alike), the King of the West (Bear-alike), the King of the South and the King of the North (Leopard-Alike and None-Alike Horned Beast). °6° — According to the main Bible verse in Red, the four beasts are four kings yet to arise but will surely arise from the earth. Daniel saw the visions in the first year of Belshazzar as king of Babylonian Empire. And as at that date Daniel was seeing the visions, the emerging of the beasts was still a future event. In fact, later you will see that they are meant to be part of the end-times event, and as such, we now in this era are yet to witness the emerging of those four and the Antichrist. °7° — Basically, these Four Great Beasts seen in the visions, were repeated in the other visions and revelations to Daniel, though only in this occasion were they represented as Four Beasts. Take these: ●A● In Daniel-7 – They are represented as Four Beasts of the sea, ●B● In Daniel-8 – They are represented as Four Horns of He-Goat, ●C● In Daniel-11 & 12 — They are represented as King of the East, King of the West, King of the South and King of the North. As you already know, a King of Fierce Countenance, the Abomination that makes desolate (of whom the Lord Jesus Christ warn those of us in the last days era of tribulation to watch out against) or the Antichrist, come from one of these four Beasts or Kingdoms that shall arise.

THE WORD OF THE LORD COMES AND COMES There are good reasons the scriptures came in books, chapters, verses and statements. Even the Word of the LORD does come in phases or in stanzas, in extras, of overs and of additions. In terms of applications, the Word of the LORD does apply continually: multiple or more than one applications do not and cannot disqualify the applications of the Word of the LORD in anyway to or through anyone. [Ezekiel 12:17 BSB] — "Moreover, the word of the LORD came to me, saying," [Ezekiel 12:17 FBV] — "A message from the Lord came to me, saying," ♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️ The Word of the LORD is both the Message and the Messenger when the comes like this to another messenger to deliver the message to him who is also a messenger or minister of the Word of the LORD to others. While some other messengers or ministers seemed to have to struggle and seek first before the Word of God or the Spirit of God will come with a saying to them, the son of man (Ezekiel) was having abundance of continual coming of the Word of the LORD to him and through him, without strain. He was always full of fresh messages from fresh coming of the Word of the LORD to him with “saying.” The abundance and availability of fresh messages from the Word of the LORD to him does not in anyway way means losing of value because some laws of men says that scarcity increases values, and that when you make something very scarce, expensive and rare to to men you increase their value and appreciation for those things; but when you make them easy, abundant and readily available to men at all times, you lose their appreciation or value for those things for psychologically they see those things as common Again, the Word of the LORD is both the Message and the Messenger to whom the Word came in the main Bible verse in Red; but also, he to whom the Word of the LORD came, also became part of the message as the bearer or the messenger of the Word to others. The mediums by which the Word of the LORD brings the message, are also part of the message they bear and tell.

THE VISIONARY OF THE ENQUIRY You may have come to where group of people gathered, seeing a spectacular thing happening or trending, and you as a novice would approach any one there by you to ask for what's really happening, why are people gathered or moved by what's happening or can you please explain what this means? When David came into the battle camp of Israel, Goliath arose and the army of Israel ran back in fear of him, and as David observed the Giant berated the army of Israel. David approached one of the soldiers, and asked him what that was all about. As men we do attimes ask strangers in similar events to explain what's going on, and sometimes strangers ask us the same things. It's not just curiosity but wise thing to enquire from your fellow seers at the event to explain or give you understand and knowledge in what you all are seeing together. For though you are seeing the event as the others standing by are also seeing, they may have understanding or better interpretation than you to what you all are seeing. Don't say each man saw what you saw and you saw what each man here has seen, or say no man here has more than two eyes in seeing the same event unfold before you all. By the way, you should know that there are visions you the seer/seeress will also notice other seers or watchers around seeing what you are also seeing. Sometimes, they are angels or they are saints: — they are in your visions or revelations, and sometimes they participate but most times they are spectators or watchers like great clouds of witnesses, also seeing the events happening with you as if it was also their first time of seeing what you are seeing too in your visions or revelations. If you find such audience and watchers seeing the Live-show with you in your visions, revelations or event in heavenly realities, do ask them or enquire from them for better understanding or interpretation of what you all are seeing. Don't say you already know or understand, and so do not need to ask your fellow seers or watchers in the visions. In Revelation 7, John was watching uncountable people in heaven who were raptured from all tribes, peoples and nations of the earth. But angels, elders and hosts, of heaven were all watching as well as John was in the revelation. John did not know who or what they were, and he didn't ask anyone around what's happening or who they were; but one of the twenty-four elders knew who they were, and yet he asked John for explanation even though he knew: [Revelation 7:13-14 FBV] — "One of the elders spoke to me and asked, “Who are those who are dressed in white robes, and where have they come from?” I replied, “My Lord, you know the answer.” He told me, “These are the ones who have passed through great persecution. They washed their robes, making them white through the blood of the Lamb." You see that even though one of the twenty four Elders knew those things, yet he asked John who didn't know for explanation of what they all were seeing; and then he told John what he was asking John to tell him. Why would he ask when he already knew the answer? And why would he even ask someone he knew did not know the answer? It's not just for answer he asked, but for correction or lesson: — The Elder was trying to teach John what I am show you in this teaching, and that is, ask people or watchers around to gain understanding in every vision or revelation you are seeing. □ ■ John was shown so much revelations, figures and events, but in the entire book of Revelation, John did not even ask for explanation or interpretation. He was just observing and recording all things as he saw them, but had no clue of asking Angels, Cherubim or Saints, for insight in any of those things they were showing him. They sometimes decided on their own to explain the mystery to John because they know even though he didn't know he wouldn't ask. — But that was not the impression I had about John and the Disciples of the Lord Jesus in those days wherein He will tell parables, and they will later ask Him to explain the parables. So, why was John not doing the same enquires in Revelation? Imagine, if when each of the four Beasts/Cherubim called John to come and see each of the four Horsemen, and he asked each of them to explain what each of the horse or rider mean, and John sustained that □ ■ Zechariah was shown revelations, figures and events, but in the entire book of Zechariah, Zechariah asked the Angel showing him these things or got the angel explaining the interpretation of them to Zechariah — unlike John in Revelation. So, there's no symbol in Zechariah’s visions that was not identified with what it represented or meant. When men like Zechariah and John are shown revelations or visions, be sure you will get better explications from Zechariah’s sharing of his revelations than from John's — for Zechariah will always ask what each means, but John will only be devoted in recording events as a video camera, and warn against adding or taking away from what he wrote in the book, whether you understand them or not. □ ■ Ezekiel too: — Well, I don't want to involve Ezekiel too much in this analysis because Ezekiel was mostly seeing visions directly from God and less of Angels — It's the LORD Himself showing him, or the Word of God or the Spirit of God — Ezekiel relatively had lesser company or interaction with angels compared to God always taking Ezekiel Himself into various visions or revelations. It's like the only time angel was sent to show Ezekiel things was in visions of the future temple and the water of life and the geography. □ ■ Daniel was shown revelations, figures and events, but in the entire book of Daniel, Daniel asked the Angels and even prayed for explanation in cases where there was no angel to ask for interpretation. Infact, that incident of a prince of Persia detaining an angel sent to Daniel was because Daniel saw things and insisted that God should explain them to him. The angel was coming to give Daniel understanding. Daniel was not like John in receiving revelations or visions, because Daniel would not allow any unexplained vision to go without asking for understanding or explanation. So, what you should expect from the visions of Daniel going forward is that there are follow-up explanations or interpretations to his visions. Someone who would ask/seek explanation or interpretation from God for visions/dreams that were not his, but the king's own, how much more would he for those of his own. {I read a book in which a man was conducted through the heavenlies, but the man seemed to be giving the Angels tough time because he was asking too many questions and was so inquisitive that the Angels seemed tired of him} [Daniel 7:16 LG] — "And I drew near to one of them that stood by, and I sought to learn from him the truth of all these things. And he told me the truth, and made known to me the interpretation of the things." [Daniel 7:16 BSB] — "I approached one of those who were standing there, and I asked him the true meaning of all this. So he told me the interpretation of these things:" ♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️ In this Main Bible verse in Red Daniel, who already was grieved in his spirit in his body and troubled by the visions of his head, decided to approach the watchers or angels standing by to ask for the “Truth” and not just the Visions. He was asking for the truth of all these things they all saw. And the one he asked told Daniel the truth and the interpretation of the things. See the Truth in all your visions, so that you don't get deceived by even your visions or dreams, even when they are from God. The reason you should seek the truth as Daniel here is because visions do come with masks, placeholders and figures/metaphors: They do not always come in truth/reality as they come in visions, dreams, prophecies or revelations. Sometimes, the faces they come with are as deceitful as the impressions that they generate on the seers without the truth or discernment of their interpretations. Behold, Daniel sought the truth of all things in his visions, and he approached one of the watchers or seers he saw in his visions among the myriads of those ministering and attending to the Ancient of Days. And because Daniel asked to know the truth, he whom Daniel approached and consulted began to tell Daniel the truth and interpretation of what Daniel saw as they saw.

THERE'S REPENTANCE IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES [Ezekiel 12:16 BSB] — "But I will spare a few of them from sword and famine and plague, so that in the nations to which they go, they can recount all their abominations. Then they will know that I am the LORD.”" [Ezekiel 12:16 GWN] — "However, I will spare a few of them from wars, famines, and plagues. Wherever they go among the nations, they will realize that everything they did was disgusting. Then they will know that I am the LORD.'"" ♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️ The Lord would spare a few of them and allowed some of them to escape or survive, but in other nations away from their home. Those who escaped or survived were not more righteous or innocent than those who fell and were killed: so it's not for their righteousness they escaped death or survived the destruction from sword (wars), famine or plagues. The escapees or survivors were given to escape in order for them to hate/abhor themselves for doing those shameful and evil deeds against the Lord, and to repent of them. If that's a reason to let them escape, it's worth it: — so that they would have to live with the shame of their old ways, with a new mindset, in foreign countries. For while the escapees where in their land and home, they completely forgot the Lord. But when they were held in foreign lands where paganism or idolatry thrived, they suddenly met their revival, regrets, repentance, realization and remembrance, of the Lord and true God as people who “Sing the Lord’s Song in a Strange Land.” Even so, there have been people who while they were in church, home or holy places their heart was far from God; but somehow when they were among the strangers or sinners in places away from church, home or holy places, somehow their heart was back to God in realization and repentance. This was like how it happened to the prodigal son in far country away from his father's house to where there were harlots and prostitutes: there, being a captive of poverty and servant for swine, “He came to his senses,” like Nebuchadnezzar in the wild among donkeys came to his understanding of God. The way it had to happen to Nebuchadnezzar before he came to know the Most High rules, it had to happen to those refugees before they would know “I am the LORD.” Some people will not learn knowledge of God until they are struck or scattered with the judgment of God.

TROUBLES AND DYNAMICS OF SEEING VISIONS The Lord's Spirit poured upon all flesh will make sons and daughters of men to prophesy, their old men to dream dreams and their young men to see visions. Let's learn somethings about seeing visions even with the Spirit of the LORD on you the seer/seeress. Seeing some visions could open up a seer/seeress to grief or troubles of soul, and there are also visions that do quite the opposite and mean relief or blissful joy and strength to the soul of the seer/seeress. This usually is not just about the horrors in the horror films or visions that determine the grief the seer would feel, neither is it just about the glories or the heavenlies in films or visions that determine the relief or peace of the seer. Rather, mystification and demystification determines these things. Besides, what I earlier taughtthem saying, “Seeing somethings without the Spirit of God or the grace of God on the seer that is unworthy and unable to handle seeing those things, do portend great danger or troubles on the seers,” matters. In Revelation 20, the earth fled from the Manifest Face of God on the White Throne of the Final Judgment — and that was the end of this earth as we know it – seeing Him whom the earth couldn't endure to see in manifestation. Some have fallen as dead or even died just by seeing what they couldn't bear. Daniel was gifted or graced in visions, dreams and understanding of visions; yet, even Daniel was grieved and troubled by the visions he saw: [Daniel 7:15 AKJV] — "I Daniel was grieved in my spirit in the middle of my body, and the visions of my head troubled me." [Daniel 7:15 BSB] — "I, Daniel, was grieved in my spirit, and the visions in my mind alarmed me." ♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️ He mentioned: ●1● “I Daniel” ●2● “my spirit” ●3● “my body” ●4● “my head/my mind” ●5● “me” Which of these parts of Daniel was the exact one that bears “I Daniel” or “Me Daniel” from the following: — my spirit (spirit of Daniel), my body (body of Daniel), my mind (mind of Daniel), and my soul (soul of Daniel)? The Soul of Daniel is the personality or essence of Daniel, the very core of Daniel's true self - the Soul of Daniel is the “I/me Daniel.” Your soul is you. Therefore, the soul of Daniel was the one talking, feeling grieved or troubled. However, the soul of Daniel was inside the spirit of Daniel feeling the grief inside the spirit of Daniel, and the spirit of Daniel was inside the body of Daniel. This meant, Daniel was spiritual and not carnal, because he (his soul) was deep inside his spirit and felt things from the environment of his spirit; and not his soul attached more to his body to feel things from his body. Nevertheless, the head or mind of Daniel linked directly to the soul of Daniel, and the mind was the channel through which the information came to trouble his soul inside his spirit that was inside his body. ………… Now, look again at the main Bible verse in Red, and understand that while Daniel saw these visions, his soul or spirit did not leave his body to travel or go somewhere else while seeing the visions. It was not a trance of projection or soul travel that disconnected his soul/spirit from his body — Rather, his head or his mind was involved in seeing the visions and communication.

SCATTER THE SHEEP TO HELP THEM KNOW THE LORD The team, that was with Zedekiah when they attempted to escape by the walls in that night, did not all go into the captivity in the same country. For they were scattered and dispersed, and the Lord forced them into different nations. [Ezekiel 12:15 BSB] — "And they will know that I am the LORD, when I disperse them among the nations and scatter them throughout the countries." [Ezekiel 12:15 GWN] — "Then they will know that I am the LORD, because I will scatter them among the nations and force them into other countries." ♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️ Zedekiah the last king was forced into captivity at Babylon, but his soldiers and men that had forsaken him were dispersed and forced into different nations. In the Bible, “Smite the Shepherd, and the sheep will scatter” sounds like a woeful thing to do; but in the 48-Laws of Power, “Smite the Shepherd, and the sheep will scatter” sounded like what power grabbers would or should do. Behold, in the main Bible verse in Red, “Smite the Shepherd, and the sheep will scatter” is the pathway to the sheep finding the knowledge of the LORD. The reason some sheep have not truly come to know the “I Am the LORD” is because they are still with their shepherds/pastors, who inhibit or prevent them from truly finding or knowing Him but only know their pastors and the doctrines of their pastors. Those pastors or shepherds keep their sheep or people in ignorance of knowing the “I Am the LORD” because the pastors or shepherds and their doctrines are the veil covering their eyes. They even call those pastors fathers in the Lord or spiritual fathers. Behold, the days of smiting those shepherds, and forcing the scattering of the sheep from under them into strangers countries and experiences that would help in teaching them what they couldn't find to know under those shepherds - This knowledge is to know “I Am the LORD.” This is bigger than any pastor.

YOU MUST NOT TAKE AUTHORITY OR POWER Again, do not apply the 48 Laws of Power in spiritual realities, neither use the say, ‘Power is not given, but may be taken.’ Some Pentecostals/Charismatics use the saying, “I take authority in the name of Jesus to bind or cast or break or decree….” The Lord Jesus Christ did not tell you to “Take anything in His Name;” rather He told you to “Ask anything in His Name,” and it shall be given or granted. Do not replace “Ask” with “Take” even in the name or in the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ. If you have faith, not if you take Authority, — You shall speak to a mountain and it shall move and nothing shall be impossible to you. It's not by taking authority that is not yours, but by having faith that is yours. Those who take authority that is not theirs in the name of Jesus Christ expect all things to bow or obey them, but those who have faith in God find all things to be possible to them. It's wiser to find all things to be possible to you by faith, than to expect all things to bow or be obedient to you by authority you take in any name. Don't allow the children of this world to keep being wiser than the children of light, even in their world. To do this, we must learn how they, who are natural and not spiritual, operate and work in turning impossibilities to possibilities instead of taking authority in the name of prayers, declarations or prophecies, to force changes or impose our will into things just because we have a God that is all powerful and a name that is above all names. We must move on by Faith and true Love, and no more taking any authority that is not ours even if they are the Lord Jesus Christ's Authority. All authority in heaven and earth were given to the Son of man, Jesus Christ — He testified this at His ascension to the Father, and commanded us all to go and preach the testimony or gospel to all creatures. He didn't say we should go and take any of this authority given to Him in His name in commanding the creatures of the world. We are not sent into all the world to exercise His authority or command the creatures of the world, rather we are sent into all the world to preach (not command) the gospel (not the authority) to all creatures. Our goal is to get them to believe (have faith), not get them dominated by us taking authority. For even the creation shall be liberated in the gospel of Christ Jesus, and they await their redemption and restoration. Therefore, the signs that should follow them that believe should be signs of them having faith, not signs of them taking authority that the Lord Jesus has. [Matthew 28:18-20 AKJV] — "And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All power is given to Me in heaven and in earth. Go you therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatever I have commanded you: and, see, I am with you always, even to the end of the world. Amen." THE fact that He said all power or authority in heaven and in earth is given to Him means He didn't take power but received power because it was given to Him. His Father is all powerful, yet He did not take power or authority; rather He was anointed with the Holy Ghost and with Power. He had His own power or authority, which He did not take in the name of the Father. Example, to show He had Authority of His own on earth to forgive sins as a Son of man, He said to the paralyzed man He told his sins are forgiven, ‘Riseup and walk.’ The man rose up and walk, and people glorified God on the premise that God has given such authority to forgive sins to man, but that was not exactly so because God did not give such to any other man but the Son of man had that. Similarly, the LORD gives certain authorities called “ministries” to His called or chosen servants: — And with such authorities come responsibilities. Those ministers of God in their ministry and message operate in their authority, not just taking authority in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Example, Peter, James, John and Paul, had ministries that gave them more spiritual authorities and responsibilities than the other Disciples and Apostles had. The others could not cast out certain demon unless by prayer and fasting, but Peter, Paul, and John, will just say the word in the name of Jesus Christ and cast those demons out without needing prayer or fasting to do so. They could raise the dead back to life without fasting or long prayer. Their shadow or any apron that touched them could heal any kind or class of sicknesses or cast out any kind of demons, etc. without needing fasting and prayers for such to work. John the Baptist had authority to turn any pool or water mass into a place for washing away sins through his baptism of repentance. But though he had that authority to baptize and remit/forgive sins, he did not have the same power to heal anyone he baptized. So, the sick sinner came into John's baptism and the sins were gone but the sickness or diseases was still there. Meanwhile, there's a pool of Bethesda which an angel of God did stirred up yearly in Jerusalem: And reverse of what happened in John the Baptist’s Baptism happened in the Baptism or immersion at the Pool of Bethesda, in that the sick sinner that first came into the pool had whatever sickness, disease or disability, he had gone like Naaman’s leprosy at Elisha’s command in river Jordan; but that was not a ministration of repentance or remission of sin, but of healing of the body. THE Lord Jesus Christ told two different impotent men to rise up and walk: One of the two impotent men He told to rise and walk had men or friends carrying him to the extent of creating hole through the roof while carrying him to be healed, but the other impotent man had no man or no friend so that though he was close to the pool of Bethesda he was still in the condition for 38 years. The Lord Jesus Christ healing the impotent man that had friends showed a diversion to John the Baptist's traditional methods of baptism for the remission of sins — the Lord Jesus healed that impotent man with a rise up and walk to assert His Authority to forgive or remit sins without baptism. And on the other occasion, the Lord Jesus Christ healing the impotent man that had no friends showed a diversion to the Angel's traditional methods of baptism in stirred up water for the healing of man — the Lord Jesus healed that impotent man with a rise up and walk to show His Authority to heal or make whole without the Pool of Bethesda. But He later warned that man to not sin again lest worse things happen to him, for the Lord also dealt with his sin as He did the other impotent man He healed. We have seen how both Peter and Paul each healed a crippled or lame from birth man, who never walked before, with in the name of Jesus… Rise up and Walk. These could not John Baptist or some Other servants of God have done. [Daniel 7:14 BSB] — "And He was given dominion, glory, and kingship, that the people of every nation and language should serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and His kingdom is one that will never be destroyed." [Daniel 7:14 LG] — "And to Him was given the dominion, and the honor, and the kingdom; and all nations, tribes, and languages, shall serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and His kingdom shall not be destroyed." ♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️ He didn't take power, rather He was given power or received power: Any power that is not given but taken is a robbery or rigging. In those days, we use to sing, “Take Glory Father, take Glory Son, take Glory Holy Ghost, now and forever more.” I teach you that the heavens don't use “Take” when they mean “Receive;” unless to take what you gave or take to give another, not yourself. In this Main verse in Red, the Lord Jesus Christ who already had all Authority and Power in heaven and in earth, who came/rode with the clouds in His authority, was still given Dominion, Glory, Kingdom, over all nations, tribes and languages, that all should serve Him. Though He already had these, yet to Him that had were much more given. You don't sing, “Take Glory…” to Him, rather you sing with the angels: ◇♡◇ To the Father or Ancient of Days, still call Him Lord, saying: [Revelation 4:11] — "You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power: for you have created all things, and for your pleasure they are and were created." We still use “Receive” for God even though He owns all things and all Power belongs to Him, for He does not just take glory, honour and power, but He receives them from us ceremonially as worship or praises when indeed He is. ◇♡◇ To the Son or Lamb of God, still call Him Lord/Lamb, saying: [Revelation 5:12] — "In a loud voice they were saying: “Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing!”" We still use “Receive” for Him regarding power, riches, wisdom, strength, honor, glory and blessings. He's worthy, not to take any of these, but to receive all of these. In a sharp contrast, He's worthy to “Take the Book Scroll” but worthy to “Receive the Glory, Dominion, Power, Kingdom etc.” That book or scroll was not given, but taken. They were not looking for who is worthy to receive that book or to be given the scroll; rather they were looking for who is worthy and able to take or snatch the Book from the Hand of God when God is not giving the Book to the person. Who can snatch or take a thing out of God's Hand when God did not give it, and still be able to break open the 7 seals or 7 locks God used to shut that book up so that no man can open what God shuts 7 times — who is that person that can do it? The Lamb was worthy or able to take from God's Hand what God did not give Him, and to force open what God shut: it was never done or heard before until the Lamb came and do it. So the heavens sang a “New Song” because a new thing that never happened before is done and there was no song to celebrate it so they quickly composed or improvised a new song of the Lamb “Taking” — [Revelation 5:9] — "And they sang a new song: “Worthy are You to take the scroll and open its seals, because You were slain, and by Your blood You purchased for God those from every tribe and tongue and people and nation." Did you see they used “You are worthy to Take” when it is Book, but when it is power, wisdom, riches, strength, glory, honor, authority, dominion etc., they used “You are worthy to Receive (not take).” Don't continue to make the error of the Pentecostals and the Charismatics by Taking Authority in the name of Jesus, when even Jesus Christ do not take Authority for Him but receives and gives these things. You may recall in my teaching of the second (Bear-alike) beast, I taught saying that even though it had 3 ribs in between its teeth, it did not take authority or dominion to eat until the Word gave it to rise and to eat or devour much flesh. In contrast to that dog that quickly took the leg of the fowl and ate, and then opened the cabin and took another leg and castin place. Neither did the Serpent take the forbidden fruit to give to the woman while he deceived her; instead she herself took what was not given but forbidden, she took and ate and then she gave to the man with her what she was not given. The man was given it by her, but she was not given it by anyone else but took authority by taking it to be wise and took authority to give it as communion to the man with her, disregarding the commandment or word of God by her taking authority she was not given. Therefore, the woman usurped authority, and must be made to remain subject under a man. In conclusion, the main Bible verse in Red related that the Dominion, Glory and Kingdom, given to the Son of man were over all peoples, languages and tribes, and is eternal without end. This means mankind will remain without end to serve Him. It's a Dominion etc. over mankind given to the Son of man, not like the kind of dominion given to Adam which was over living creatures of and with the elements of the earth, atmosphere and seas. In nutshell, mankind's Dominion in Genesis 1:26-28 was to rule over the physical creation, but the Lord's Dominion in the main Bible verse in Red was to rule over mankind. In Rick Joyner's book themed, "The Final Quest," he spoke of kings already given authorities or powers over cities, over stars and galaxies and over other creations. Then he explained that those given authority over cities were higher in honor than those over galaxies, because of the value of a human soul that weighed far greater than galaxies in the sight of God. Fools will maltreat or wastes humans in order to gain the riches and treasures of this earth; some will even do ritual killing of a man or soul for money; whereas in heaven, all the golds, houses, cars, riches etc. of this world cannot buy half the value of a single soul of man or woman, boy or girl. Yet fools would rather gain the world and lose their soul to the devil, and worst still kill the soul of others too.

DISBANDING OF THE BODYGUARDS OR DEFENDERS Key public figures, including popular pastors, move around with bodyguards and defenders. Well, this theme here is on the prophecy where the last King of Israel, Judah/Jerusalem precisely, was captured by the Babylonians, for God Himself disbanded the King's Bodyguards, Defenders and Helpers, so that they could not prevent their king's capture. The first king of Israel was Saul, rejected and though Abner had a son of Saul reign over a part of Israel, David was the official King of Judah and Israel. But the last king of Israel and Judah was Zedekiah, the last descendant of David through Solomon, to sit on the throne of David (before the Lord Jesus Christ was born). So, Zedekiah was the last lightbearer in the lineage of David to uphold the kingdom of Israel. But he was that prince of Jerusalem or king who was prophesied to flee through wall, but captured and was to be brought into captivity in a land he could not see till he died there in Babylon. Though there's a place the Lord promised David will not lack a son sitting on the throne in Israel; but the capturing, blinding, leading into captivity of the last descendant of David as king, in addition to first killing of all the sons of that king before blinding his eyes, marked the end of Judah's/Israel's political independence or Kingdom. You may recall when the Apostles asked the Lord Jesus, “Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom back to Israel?” The kingdom of Israel was suspended or taken from the time Zedekiah was captured, and the Temple of Solomon was burnt down. After the captivity was returned, there was no more true king of Israel, but just Governors such as was Zerrubabel who was also a descendant of David. But during the Roman Empire, particularly during the world population census commanded by Caesar the king of Rome over all the world, there was pseudo king of Israel called “Herod the great.” This king was pseudo or half-true king because of two reasons: One, he was a political king imposed on the Jews by Caesar, and was not the Jews themselves that chose or accepted him as their king; and two, Herod was not fully Israelite or Jew, but was partly an Edomite (Descendant of Esau) who migrated and converted into the Jewish family. So, Herod was a pseudo king, besides there was a Tetrarch also named Herod but was son of Herod the great and there was also Roman Governor also in charge of the province covering Jerusalem and some part of Galilee, such was Pontus Pilate. Hence, Herod the great (the pseudo king), Herod the less (the tetrarch over Galilee and a son of Herod the great), and Pilate (Governor). Then, behold the true King of the Jews, Son of David (Jesus Christ), was born and Herod the great (pseudo king) sought to kill the true King of the Jews, by eliminating all male child from 2 years and less in David's Bethlehem Judah. Back to Zedekiah the last true King of the Jews until the Lord Jesus Christ was born. The triumphant entry into Jerusalem saw the Jews celebrate their King, son of David, Hosanna in the highest. But in an incredible turn of events, just about one week later they were shouting crucify Him. Pilate asked them, do you want me to crucify your King? They foolishly answered they have no other king than Caesar. But even when Pilate gave Him to crucified, he still witnessed to all, “This Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews.” How'd Pilate know Jesus was the king of the Jews? Listen to this conversation [John 18:36-37 LG] — "Jesus answered, "My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I might not be delivered to the Jews; but now My kingdom is not from here." Pilate therefore said to Him, "Are You a king then?" Jesus answered, "You say rightly that I am a king. For this reason I have been born, and for this reason I have come into the world, that I should testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice."" ……………….. Now, let's bring the topic, “Disbanding of the Defenders and Bodyguards:” In His conversation with Pilate, the King standing trial before a governor, said that if His Kingdom were of this world His Servants would fight, defend or bodyguard Him, and if they had done that He would not have been delivered to the Jews much less delivered to the Gentiles. When He was arrested, His defenders and Bodyguards including more than 12 legions of angels could have prevented His arrest, but He valued the Will of God above the Kingdom of God. For you to enter the kingdom of God, you must value and do the will of God - No all who call Him, Lord shall enter the kingdom of God, but those who do the will of the Father in heaven shall receive the kingdom of God. So, spiritually His Defenders or Bodyguards were never activated talkless of getting disbanded. However, His disciples deserted Him or were scattered when He was arrested, so that none of them will be lost: for He rather die for them in a Shepherd laying His life for the sheep, than for any of them die fighting for Him in a bodyguard/defender laying his life for his king. Talking of disbanded, the bodyguards, defenders and helpers, with Zedekiah the last king of the Jews before the going into captivity, were all disbanded by God and not by the king. They could not prevent or keep their king from being delivered in or captured by the Babylonians, neither did they even fight to prevent it; instead they all deserted him and fled in all directions. [Kings 25:5 FBV] — "but the Babylonian army chased after the king and caught up with him on the plains of Jericho. His whole army had scattered and left him." [Proverbs 14:28 Web] — "In the multitude of people is the king’s glory, but in the lack of people is the destruction of the prince." [Psalms 33:16 Web] — "There is no king saved by the multitude of an army. A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.” David the ancestor of Zedekiah was used to fleeing pursuing king and armies, but the difference between the men with David and the men with Zedekiah while fleeing was that the men of David deserted David while fleeing, and they were mighty men, who were fleeing, not because they are afraid of any fight, but because they are keeping up with David their leader when he moves away from a fight. Those were men of David that one among them alone stood when all Israel fled from the Philistines, and that one man alone fought and killed 1000 soldiers at once in a lentils field, or among another would go into a lion's den or pit and kill the Lion inside the Lion’s home. They were basically fearless men, but only flee with David to always be with David. You don't want to presume their retreating or fleeing as cowardice or weakness, like toddler chasing a strong dog that ran a while and then turned to face him. As for the men of Zedekiah, they were not keeping to their king as the men of David were. This was from the LORD who declared it by Ezekiel to disband the defenders, bodyguards and helpers, that may be with him on that day: [Ezekiel 12:14 BSB] — "And I will scatter to every wind all the attendants around him and all his troops, and I will draw a sword to chase after them." [Ezekiel 12:14 GWN] — "I will scatter in every direction all those who are around him-his staff and all his troops. I will pursue them with my sword." ♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️ In this Main Bible verse in Red, the LORD Himself said He will be the One to scatter or disband all Zedekiah's defenders and helpers, to make them flee away from him: Yes, He will use a sword to pursue them in all directions, so that Zedekiah will be captured alone without anyone needing to die in fighting for him. In the arrest of the LORD Jesus Christ, He deliberately would not have His Servants fighting for Him to keep Him from being arrested. But in the capture of Zedekiah, the LORD drove all his fighters and defenders away from hindering the capture of their king. Behold, the LORD Himself can drive away a man's helpers, defenders, staff, supporters and customers, from him.

MISSING HIM Let's look at feeling of loneliness or missing someone even in the midst of the happiest family and friends. I didn't know that a man can still have this feeling in the midst of the third heavens, among the holy and glorious angels, spirits, with love, friends, families and the Father Himself, all present in the heaven. John felt this so much that he wept in heaven because no man could take the Book from the One on the Throne and to open its seven seals. This feeling of loneliness or missing someone in the midst of all love, comfort and abundance, is usually from the result of the Gap between the Creator and the creatures/created in communication and fellowship. It's like a vacuum of differences between the levels of God and of the creation. This gap or vacuum can only be filled by a Mediator between God and the Creation: One who is both in the levels of God and in the levels to relate with creation particularly, as a Son of man, at the same time. This is the role and importance of the Son of man, the Lord Jesus Christ — The Word of God. In the heavens, there are great angels and mighty beings created and made to minister directly to the Father in His Presence. But mankind from our levels will be needing a helper, just as Adam needed a helper suitable for him while dwelling in the presence of God in paradise. The Helper I speak of is not one that would be under us for us to lead and bond with beings under us or to help us work like Eve to Adam; rather, the Helper I speak of is One that will be above us but with us to lead and bond with Beings both above and under us – to help us bond. The Son of Man is this Helper and Companion we seek/need. Martha said to Him, “If You'd been here, my brother would not have died.” The Samaritan woman said to Him, “I perceive You are a Prophet, but One (more than a prophet) who is Messiah called Christ is coming (as we all wait and long for Him inspite of all prophets and priests around). When He comes He will tell us all things.” Can you imagine what she was expecting the Christ they were hoping for to do for them? — She didn't say when Messiah comes He will destroy all our enemies with Holy Ghost fire, give us salvation and prosperity, etc. Rather she said, when the Messiah comes He will show or tell us all things. That was what she was seeking from the Messiah, and that was the message she preached to all men to convince them that Jesus is the Christ, by telling them “He told me everything I ever did.” They were not seeking a Messiah for healing, prosperity, miracles, business breakthroughs, breaking curses, or saving them from sin — Those looking for the Messiah just to learn all things from Him followed her, and believed (without miracles/signs) when they heard Him for themselves, that He truly was the Messiah that must came. Mary Magdalene cried because she missed Him even in the presence of Angels from heaven: Angels of heaven cannot fully fill the void of missing the Messiah and Son of man, the Lord Jesus Christ. As soon as Mary heard Him call her by name, she realized He's the One, and shouted, “Rabboni!” How do I illustrate to you that heaven with God the Father, Holy Angels, Stars, Saints and Prophets, but minus the Lord Jesus Christ the Messiah and Son of God or Son of man, at some point feels like missing someone so much that one's heart may even ache or break into weeping as John felt? Listen, I don't how Muslims supposedly will enjoy the garden or paradise that Mohammad promised them with just 70/75 virgins and still not be disconnect. But I tell you, heaven or earth will not satisfy any man without the Lord Jesus Christ with him and he with Him. He's the real satisfaction, sense and reality of heaven. The Lord Jesus Christ Himself feels so about the Father, but we feel so about Him. The New Heaven and New Earth with have the Tabernacle of the Father and the Lamb (Son) dwelling with mankind forever. When this comes, the Lord Jesus Christ will not have any occasion to leave men with a reason He wants to go to the Father: For when He's present with the Father in the old world, He was absent from men who also needed Him as He needed His Father. Behold in New Creation, the Father, the Lamb and Saints, abide. Now, John was in the third heaven in Revelation 4 and 5, saw the Ancient of Days who lives Forever, but he did not earlier see the Lord Jesus Christ sitted at His Right Hand. Instead, he saw twenty four thrones with twenty four Elders, saw four Beasts or Cherubim around the Throne of He who Lives Forever, and myriads of Angels and Choirs, but yet he did not see the Son of man in that heaven, not even an empty Throne nor one sitted at the Father's Right Hand. He even saw seven flames as the seven Spirits of God, but did not bother looking for the Son of man in that glorious Revelation of God and the Heavens. Then a need or problem came up in the heaven. It was a need for someone to take the Scroll / Book from the hand of the One who sits on the Throne and Lives Forever. No one in the entire heaven and earth could solve that need: one would think only here on earth do needs arise, and when it's difficult for men they look up to those in heaven for help; but John was shocked that when no one in the entire heaven was found able to do that task, the heavens began look at the earth and seas and beneath the earth for anyone who can, but found none anywhere. So, John wept bitterly, for having needs on earth is bitter if no one there can fix it, but having needs in heaven is even more bitter and painful than having them on earth without solution. Poverty in heaven is worse feeling than poverty on earth, and yet the poorest in heaven is richer than the richest on earth. My question there was, “Where did the Lord Jesus Christ go or came from, when it's said no one in heaven, earth and sea, was worthy or able to do the task?” Was He in heaven, on earth, and under the earth or in the sea, etc., when no one was found worthy to take and open the Book from the Father? I will re-ask these questions again but after the main Bible verse in Red: [Daniel 7:13 BSB] — "In my vision in the night I continued to watch, and I saw One like the Son of Man coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into His presence." [Daniel 7:13 LG] — "I beheld in the night vision, and behold, One like the Son of Man coming with the clouds of heaven, and He came to the Ancient of Days, and was brought near to Him." ♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️ In this Main Bible verse in Red, for you to understand my teaching, replace the word “coming” with “ascending” in your mind while you re-read the Bible verse again. Question: ♡1♡ — Lord Jesus Christ, where were You coming from in this Daniel's vision and where have You been, if not sitted at the Father's Right Hand? Answer: The Lord Jesus Christ said this about His coming with clouds: [Mark 14:61-62 BSB] — "But Jesus remained silent and made no reply. Again the high priest questioned Him, “Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?” “I am,” said Jesus, “and you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power and coming with the clouds of heaven.”" This coming with the clouds of heaven is two-ways traffic for the Lord Jesus: **A** The one you saw in the main Bible verse in Red is a “Bottom-Top” coming with the clouds, which is simply called “His Ascension to the Father (Ancient of Days)” and; **B** The one you saw in the next Bible reference is a “Top-Bottom” coming with the clouds, which is simply called “His Second Coming.” My point here is that, the Angels told the Apostles who saw the Lord Jesus ascending, saying, “The same way/manner you see Him ascend, so shall He come again.” This applies also to similar vehicles He used, which are, Clouds. [Acts 1:11] —"“Men of Galilee,” they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen Him go into heaven.”" So, if the Lord Jesus promised to come with the clouds of heaven after sitting on the Right Hand of Power, it means, He must ascend with the clouds in order to return with the clouds as He had gone. From the perspective of the main Bible verse in Red, Daniel was seeing from where the Apostles stopped seeing in the day He ascended: they stopped seeing Him when the clouds disappeared Him, but Daniel in vision centuries earlier was seeing Him coming with the clouds or ascending with the clouds. This was before He began the phase of sitting on the Father's Right Hand. Don't forget thrones were set already when He ascended with the clouds. Question: ♡2♡ — Lord Jesus Christ, Where did You go or came from, when it's said no one in heaven, earth and sea, was worthy or able to do the task in Revelation 5?” Were You in heaven, on earth, and under the earth or in the sea, etc., when no one was found worthy to take and open the Book from the Father? If You were in any of these places I mentioned, how were You not counted among the saying, no one was worthy to take the scroll or open its seven seals and yet, You were not sitted at the Father's Right Hand then for John to see You. I remember how early in the morning You sneaked away into a solitary place to pray, and Your Disciples sought for You like Mary and Joseph sought for You at age 12, only that this time the disciples did not find You in the temple but found You in a solitary place praying. And when they found You, they said to You, “All men are looking for You.” [Mark 1:35-37] You, O Lord, are the Savior; and yet You do hide Yourself: Why? [Isaiah 45:15 BSB] — "Truly You are a God who hides Himself, O God of Israel, the Savior." Just explain to us how or where You hid Yourself when no one was found worthy to take the Scroll or open its seven seals in Revelation 5, especially before John wept as Mary Magdalene had wept at your Tomb, not seeing You. Answer: Hid you say? I would not say the Lord Jesus Christ was hiding, but I would rather say the Lord Jesus Christ was in a state or form that those who counted or searched did not consider to reckon with. That was the state of His being Slain or for a layman, He was in the state or form He was when He's crucified and died. You have said and heard the Angels questioned why those seekers searched for the Living among the dead, and that He (the Lord is not there but risen from the dead). But not searching for the living among the dead has made the Lamb (Jesus) to appear not seen or invisible because the Lamb appeared in the state, form or appearance He was when He was slain. [Revelation 5:3-7 BSB] — "But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or look inside it. And I began to weep bitterly, because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or look inside it. Then one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep! Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed to open the scroll and its seven seals.” Then I saw a Lamb who appeared to have been slain, standing in the center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the elders. The Lamb had seven horns and seven eyes, which represent the seven Spirits of God sent out into all the earth. And He came and took the scroll from the right hand of the One seated on the throne." You see, sometimes it appears He's hiding, but He's just where those looking for Him do not consider to search. Mary and Joseph sought for Him three days, but didn’t consider earlier looking first for Him at His Father's Business. Some are looking for Him outside but He's being inside them. Some looking for Him in big churches, programs and fellowships, while He's available for them among the poor and miserable people in some locality. So do men miss. Thus, every tribe will weep for missing Him when He comes with clouds: [Revelation 1:7] — "Behold, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him— even those who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will weep because of Him. So shall it be! Amen." You will weep the more if you keep on missing Him without knowing Him. “Don't asked, Lord when did we see You sick, in prison, hungry, naked, poor and did not minister to You?” Like the goats in Matthew 25.

HE DWELT, DIED IN A LAND AND YET NEVER SAW IT Moses was sentenced to a death of not entering into the Promised Land, but yet his eyes were made supernatural and able to see the Promised Land from afar; and he saw it better than some who walked on it. And it's testified concerning “Moses' Eyes” after he died, “His eyes were not dimmed.” [Deuteronomy 34:4-5,7] — "The LORD said to Moses, “This is the land that I swore to give Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob when I said, ‘I will give it to your descendants.’ I have let you see it with your own eyes, but you shall not cross into it.” So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of Moab, as the LORD had said. … Moses was a hundred and twenty years old when he died, yet his eyes were not dim, and his vitality had not diminished." In contrast to Moses here, Zedekiah was sentenced to a death of entering into Babylon as captive in captivity, but shall never see the land of Babylon even though he must be brought there and must die there. To the former, it was, “You shall not step foot there, but you shall see there - before you die the death:” And to the latter, it was, “You shall never see the land, yet you shall be brought/exiled there, and die on the land but never see the land till death.” [Ezekiel 12:13 BSB] — "But I will spread My net over him, and he will be caught in My snare. I will bring him to Babylon, the land of the Chaldeans; yet he will not see it, and there he will die." [Ezekiel 12:13 LBP] — "And I will spread my net over him, and he shall be caught in it; and I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans; yet he shall not see the land, and there shall he die." ♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️ In this Main Bible verse in Red, Ezekiel sharing the Word of the LORD in explaining the parable of his Live-Show to those who saw it, continued in the very own Words of the LORD, saying, “I (the LORD) will spread My net over him (Zedekiah), and he shall be caught in My snare.” Psalms 91 only revealed Him as one who delivers from snare of the fowler: [Psalms 91:3 BSB] — "Surely He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the deadly plague." But in the main Bible verse in Red, the LORD Himself is the greatest Fowler with His snare. He turned an escape into a false escape. He made the prince of Jerusalem (Zedekiah) who already successfully escaped the city wall to be caught again where he thought he was no longer trapped. I was taught this earlier, when I thought I escaped with my secret or hidden sin from where men could ever catch me, but the LORD Himself caught me and made men catch me when He caught me while I thought I had escaped. It's false escape. In addition, the LORD also said that when the Prince of Jerusalem shall be caught, he shall be brought to Babylon, the land of Chaldeans, but yet shall not see the land, even though he shall die in the land and never see before it. Supposing Mr. T said since he was born till date, he has never seen the land of Ryzo even till now, but he dwells in the land of Ryzo since he was born. This means Mr. T was born blind and is still blind. Oh dear, the blind who know the land he dwells on because he had seen it before he became blind is different from the blind who is taken into a strange land. Don't lead a blind man into a trap or ditch, but this blind man shall be led into captivity in chains and bonds. If you blinded or remove his eyes like Samson’s, why still chaining the blind man with such heavy chains as if he could see to escape? [2 Kings 25:5-10] — "But the Babylonian army pursued the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him and deserted him. Then they captured the king, and carried him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah; and they passed sentence of judgment on him. They killed Zedekiah’s sons before his eyes, then put out Zedekiah’s eyes, bound him in fetters, and carried him to Babylon. Now in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem. He burned LORD's Temple (Solomon built), and the king’s house, and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great house, he burned with fire. All the army of the Chaldeans, who were with the captain of the guard, broke down the walls around Jerusalem."

ONE DOMINION, DIFFERENT LIVES AND BEASTS The Four Beasts that ascended from below the Sea-Level came together as in, the same times and seasons, though they were assigned the first, second, third and fourth beast. The idea that some scholars gave in explaining them suggest that each beast was a succession of the previous one to power. Some even taught these Four Beasts vision as an illustration of Nebuchadnezzar's vision of the Great Image Statute with different body parts made of different element for different empires. They make it seem or sound as if each beast subdued or defeated the previous one before it to take over power or dominion. I, Peterch, now teach you something different from what you may have heard or learnt about these Four Beasts in Daniel's vision or Daniel 7: *1* They are all different from one another, but they do not contend or fight one another. — It's not like the Bear-Alike Beast rising to defeat the Lion alike Beast, or the Leopard-Alike Beast overthrew Bear-Alike Beast - No, such things did not happen among these four Beasts. Where such things happened was in Daniel-8, where the He-Goat (Greece) fought and defeated the Ram (Medo-Persia), and then the He-Goat took over power. But you see these four Beasts are not in anyway competing with each: and they four had their dominion together at the same time, without one putting down another. *2* The Four Beasts were meant to come together, rule together but in different quarters or according to the four winds of heaven, which also came together on the sea to generate the Great Tsunami by which they emerged. Just as the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse each exist with their own mandate, assignment and field; so do these four Beasts from below sealevel. Unfortunately to their number “Four,” one of the four Beasts was killed and his body cast into the blazing fire, because of the mouth of the little horn as seen earlier: Thus, their number “Four” was reduced to “Three.” *3* The Four Beasts arose from the sea together, lived together, received Dominion or Kingdom together. But one of them died because he was killed, and though the death of that one did not mean the death of the four of them, yet the termination of that dead one's Dominion meant the termination of the Dominion of all Four of them. - If one loses his life, the rest will not lose their life, but since losing his life also means losing his Dominion - so if one lose his Dominion, then all the rest must also lose their Dominion/Power together: [Daniel 7:12 BSB] — "As for the rest of the beasts, their dominion was removed, but they were granted an extension of life for a season and a time." [Daniel 7:12 FBV] — "The rest of the beasts were allowed to go on living for a season and a time, but their power to rule had been taken away." ♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️ In this Main Bible verse in Red, the rest, three remaining Beasts, were not killed like the one that has horn among them was killed; for length of Days or extension of life for season without reason was given to them. But the time of their Dominion or Power had come to an end, and the Son of Man with Saints must now take over the Dominion and Power and Kingdom. Thus, the end of their reign or Kingdom was not the end of their life, unlike the beast with horn whose kingdom and life ended the same time. You may recall we learnt how “Long live the king” or “Live forever” connect with the kingdom. How the kingdom of a king is tied to the remaining length of life that king has to live: for the end of that king's kingdom also means the end of that king's life. So, protecting one is protecting the other; Except that we saw the first time the Kingdom was taken away from Nebuchadnezzar, and he was driven from men into beast, but his life was prolonged after his kingdom was taken, and the restoration of the kingdom to him restored him to human life again. So, we appreciate the extraordinary grace shown to the rest of these three Beasts, in that the end of their kingdom and the taking away of their Dominion, making them powerless and ordinary, still did not expose them to getting killed nor dead, but enjoyed extension of life without Dominion and Power. Surely, they used their dominion better than the one killed, which is why now that they are fallen into nobodies/vegetables, none want to kill them.
