FALSE ESCAPE

There are times that a man who walks into trap or captivity began his steps thinking he's running or escaping from it. On the flipside, there are also times that a man who walks into freedom and deliverance began his steps as if he was headed into captivity or bondage. The Lord Jesus Christ taught this better and said, whoever will save his life shall lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will keep it to everlasting. Jeremiah taught similar message to the king (prince) of Jerusalem and those there, saying, “If you go out in surrender to the Babylonians, you will be spared; but if you refuse you will be enslaved to death.” The princes of Jerusalem then connived to kill Jeremiah for this message, but later cast Jeremiah into a well, in which the water is gone but the mud was it, resulting in Jeremiah sinking further into the sinking mud inside the well. But when an African man heard this, he requested Zedekiah the king or prince of Jerusalem; they pulled Jeremiah out of the mud and well.

Zedekiah secretly invited Jeremiah and enquired counsel of the LORD from him, because at that time Jerusalem was under siege or surrounded by soldiers of Babylon. The city was under lock, and there was famine or hunger in the city due to the siege. Jeremiah the prophet repeated similar words to him, saying, go out and yield or surrender to the princes of Babylon, so shall you be delivered. But if you refuse, you shall fall together with this city (including great buildings walls that may be burnt/broken down). And yet, Zedekiah wouldn’t follow Jeremiah's words. These happened in Jeremiah 38.

Therefore, for not following Jeremiah's message in “Jeremiah 38,” behold then “Jeremiah 39” came upon them. As it is written,

[Jeremiah 39:2,4-9 FBV] — "On the ninth day of the fourth month of the eleventh year of Zedekiah's reign, the city wall was broken through. … When Zedekiah king of Judah and all the defenders saw them there, they ran away. They escaped from the city during the night through the king's garden, passing through the gate between the two walls, and took the road to the Arabah. But the Babylonian army chased after them and caught up with Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho. They captured him and brought him before Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon at Riblah in the land of Hamath, where he put him on trial and punished him. The king of Babylon had Zedekiah's sons killed as Zedekiah watched, and he also executed all of Judah's leaders there in Riblah. Then he had Zedekiah's eyes gouged out, and had him bound with bronze chains and taken away to Babylon. The Babylonians burned down the king's palace and the people's houses, and they demolished Jerusalem's city walls. Then Nebuzaradan the commander of the guard carried off to Babylon the rest of the people who had stayed in the city, together with those who had deserted and gone over to him."

Now, if Zedekiah had done the words of Jeremiah the prophet in Jeremiah 38, then these things in Jeremiah 39 wouldn't have happened to him. But also, these things in Ezekiel 12 wouldn't have happened to him either. Ezekiel the prophet was already among the captives exiled into River Chebar, and had already demonstrated the Live-Show of those things you read:

[Ezekiel 12:12 BSB] — "And at dusk the prince among them will lift his bags to his shoulder and go out. They will dig through the wall to bring him out. He will cover his face so he cannot see the land."

[Ezekiel 12:12 GWN] — "The prince who is among you will put his bags on his shoulders in the dark and leave. People will dig holes in the wall to go through. The prince will cover his face so that he cannot see the land."

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

The Prince in this main Bible verse in Red refers to Zedekiah the king, when he tried escaping the city through the wall on hearing the Babylonians have broken into the city by the gates.

[Jeremiah 39:4 FBV] — "When Zedekiah king of Judah and all the defenders saw them there, they ran away. They escaped from the city during the night through the king's garden, passing through the gate between the two walls, and took the road to the Arabah."

It began with the idea of escaping, but ended into death or captivity. Those he was trying to save were all killed before his eyes, and then his eyes were blinded to never see the land or Jerusalem again till he died, after the last things he saw included his sons or descendants wiped off from life on earth.

So one prophet (Ezekiel) relayed this to those already in captivity, but another prophet (Jeremiah) relayed this to those directly concerned in Jerusalem.

DESTRUCTION OF THE SPEAKING BEAST

I read from this Bible reference:

[Revelation 14:9-12 BSB] — "And a third angel followed them, calling out in a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and its image, and receives its mark on his forehead or on his hand, he too will drink the wine of God’s anger, poured undiluted into the cup of His wrath. And he will be tormented in fire and sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment rises forever and ever. Day and night there is no rest for those who worship the beast and its image, or for anyone who receives the mark of its name.” Here is a call for the perseverance of the saints who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus."

I realized Christians must keep two things in patience: These include — The Commandments (Laws) of God and the Faith of Jesus. Some have taken a path that only recognizes the Faith, but does not keep the Commandments of God. — True Faith is in obedience to the the LORD's Commandments.

I also realized from the reference that the third angel was preaching gospel, in which there's no salvation or deliverance to Christian or non-Christian, who worships the beast or its image or receives the mark of the beast on his forehead or hand. He described the would be state of that man as one who would be tormented in fire and surfur forever without rest; and that this will happen to the man even in the very presence of the greatest Savior, who died for him, who is called the Lamb, and presence of His Holy angels.

It helps us to understand that even the Lord Jesus Christ — The Lamb, and the Holy Angels, can be watching people burning in pains and torments for long and still not be moved to help, pity or save, the victim. And still they call this “Everlasting Gospel.” What is gospel or goodnews in the torments, pains and burnings of people joined to the beast, in the presence of the Savior (the Lamb) who shed His Blood for mankind by His death and in sight of Angels?

I tell you, the Savior (The Lamb) seeing anyone cast into the lake of fire and Brimstone is “Gospel” or “Goodnews.” The Savior, Jesus Christ, killing or destroying anyone is a goodnews. It is badnews when someone else destroys people, but it becomes goodnews when the Lord Jesus Christ Himself destroys or approves the destruction of people. If you don't see it this way, you are the one that has problems.

Imagine a man keeping garbage or grasses that deface and mar his house, and he kept harboring those pile of stinking dirt and weeds for too long, which are nuisance to other things in the house. It will be goodnews to see the man sanitize his house, cut off and burn that pile of dirt and weeds.

[Daniel 7:11 BSB] — "Then I kept watching because of the arrogant words the horn was speaking. As I continued to watch, the beast was slain, and its body was destroyed and thrown into the blazing fire."

[Daniel 7:11 Web] — "I saw at that time because of the voice of the great words which the horn spoke; I saw even until the animal was slain, and its body destroyed, and it was given to be burned with fire."

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

The fourth beast was killed because of the great and arrogant words of the mouth of the little horn on him. It was not a fair hearing Judgment like I earlier said, but Judgment based on the books that were opened. Books were already opened in the Judgment Court, where the Ancient of Days and Panel of Judges were already sitted. But unfortunately for the beast, his horn kept talk exceeding proudly and arrogancy came out his mouth. Therefore, the beast was killed, and his body cast into the blazing fire.

In the Judgment, when the Books are opened, make sure your mouth is closed

[Proverbs 13:3 AKJV] — "He that keeps his mouth keeps his life: but he that opens wide his lips shall have destruction."

[James 3:5-6] -"Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasts great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindles! And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell."

IS THE MINISTER — MESSENGER OR SIGN — TO YOU?

A prophet of God was to put up a live show in which he himself was to be a sign to the man (king) he was to signify and message. The show as directed by the LORD required him to meet a specific man (his fellow prophet), and instruct the man (fellow prophet) to beat him so hard and get him bruises. The Prophet went to the fellow prophet, and told him the Lord said you should beat or hit me and get me some bruises or injury. That man refused to touch God's anointed or do His prophet any harm, even when the prophet told him this was the Word of God telling you to harm me the prophet — yet the man refused to harm the prophet as required for the live show. Then the prophet told the man (fellow prophet), because you disobeyed the Word of God in refusing to beat and harm the prophet He told you to, a lion shall kill today. And went he left, a lion therefore, killed that man who was also a prophet:

[1 Kings 20:35-42 BSB] — "Meanwhile, by the word of the LORD, one of the sons of the prophets said to his companion, “Strike me, please!” But the man refused to strike him. Then the prophet said to him, “Because you have not obeyed the voice of the LORD, as soon as you depart from me a lion will kill you.” And when he left, a lion found him and killed him. Then the prophet found another man and said, “Strike me, please!” So the man struck him and wounded him, and the prophet went and waited on the road for the king, disguising himself with a bandage over his eyes. As the king passed by, he cried out to the king: “Your servant had marched out into the middle of the battle, when suddenly a man came over with a captive and told me, ‘Guard this man! If he goes missing for any reason, your life will be exchanged for his life, or you will weigh out a talent of silver.’ But while your servant was busy here and there, the man disappeared.” And the king of Israel said to him, “So shall your judgment be; you have pronounced it on yourself.” Then the prophet quickly removed the bandage from his eyes, and the king of Israel recognized him as one of the prophets. And the prophet said to the king, “This is what the LORD says: ‘Because you have let slip from your hand the man I had devoted to destruction, your life will be exchanged for his life, and your people for his people.’”"

Ahab thought the man in mask was mere messenger to him, until the prophet removed the mask and taught that king he was the Sign. Behold from Ezekiel:

[Ezekiel 12:11 BSB] — "You are to say, ‘I am a sign to you.’ Just as it happened here, so will it be done to them; they will go into exile as captives."

[Ezekiel 12:11 FBV] — "You are to say to them, ‘I'm a sign to you.’ Just as it was demonstrated here, so it will happen to them— they will go into exile as prisoners."

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

In this Main Bible verse in Red, Ezekiel was to tell the people that the signs or wonders he was performing to them was not miracles or healing, but himself is the sign in demonstration to them. When Jews asked the Lord Jesus for sign, He, in one occasion, told them to destroy this temple and in three days He will raise it up again, and the Temple He meant was His Body. In another occasion, He said that the sign for this wicked generation is the same with the sign of Jonah in the belly of the beasts in three days: for so shall He be in the heart of the earth in three days.

Ezekiel was the Sign to them of captivity: that as it happened here with him, so shall it be applied to those prince and people dwelling in Jerusalem for captivity.

It comes to where the messenger of God is also himself the sign, the example, the epistle as well as the witness. But do you see the Ministers of God serving you or suffering in anyway — Do you see them as Messengers or as Signs?

“Sign” in this context means “Standard” applicable to you as was the Minister

The Lord Jesus Christ Himself bowed and washed His disciples feet: but He also taught them that He's their Sign, Standard or Example, to apply to them in so doing.

[John 13:13-17 BSB] — "You call Me Teacher and Lord, and rightly so, because I am. So if I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet. I have set you an example so that you should do as I have done for you. Truly, truly, I tell you, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. If you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them."

THE FIERY COURT PROCEEDINGS

[Daniel 7:10 LG] — "A stream of fire rushed forth before Him. Thousands upon thousands ministered to Him, and ten thousand times ten thousand attended to Him. The court was seated, and the books were opened."

[Daniel 7:10 BSB] — "A river of fire was flowing, coming out from His presence. Thousands upon thousands attended Him, and myriads upon myriads stood before Him. The court was convened, and the books were opened."

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

This Stream of Fire issuing and rushing out from before the Ancient of Days is one who's flames never die and the fire is never quenched. It's also Acidic, containing Surfur or Brimstone. This River of Fire will later be known as the “Lake of Fire” When it comes to its eternal abode, and need not keep flowing.

The Angels and Stars that minister to the Ancient of Days run into Billions a given time, and yet myriads upon myriads of them who are not engaged with a specific ministration to Him at the moment stand in position attentively in search for opportunities to minister to Him. The number of cells in your mortal body does not reach the number of those ministering and attending to the Ancient of Days this moment.

Well, He's sitted on His Throne and Wheels, but the other thrones in the court also have to be sitted on for Court Proceedings and Judgment to commence. Yes, the Judges also sat on the thrones, and the Court began with Books opened. Books were not judged by their covers, but were all opened to reveal their contents in the presence of the Ancient of Days and of Panel of Judges. The Judgment is not based on fair hearing or some sort of attorney/Advocate standing to testify/speak for anyone — Rather it's based on the content of the pre-written books opened in the Judgment. If you can rejoice for what the heavens are writing in the books that will be used to judge you, you are truly blessed. For, don't think the Judgment is a series of questions and answers on that day: — Rather think the judgment as Day of Book Reviews/Revelations.

PROPHETIC SIGNS AND CAPTIVITY TO OR FROM JERUSALEM

That you have seen a vision, a signifying show or prophetic sign, does not always means you are directly involved or affected. Understand that God may show you visions, revelations and prophecies, that have no direct bearing to you, your people, place or time, but for a different people, place or times, past or future to come.

The show, which the man, Ezekiel, acted live before those already in captivity in Babylonia was illustrating or signifying another/extra going into captivity or exile to them. By experience, they would relate better with the theme and acts of going into captivity because they too have experienced being led captive into captivity. But by application, they are already in captivity and thus there should be another application to the message:

[Ezekiel 12:10 BSB] — "Tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘This burden concerns the prince in Jerusalem and all the house of Israel who are there.’"

[Ezekiel 12:10 FBV] — "Tell them that this is what the Lord God says: ‘This prophetic sign concerns the prince who is ruling in Jerusalem and all the people of Israel who are living there.’"

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

Here, the Word of the LORD revealed through the Showman to them, saying, “This is prophetic signification applies to the Prince in Jerusalem and to all house of Israel in Jerusalem, yet to come into captivity.” Those in Jerusalem were not in captivity, and those in captivity were not in Jerusalem. Difference existed between being in Jerusalem and being in Captivity until the Lord Jesus Christ wept over Jerusalem, and left her house desolate until the time of His return. In follow-up, there came times when being in Jerusalem was not different from being in captivity or bondage.

[Galatians 4:25-26 FBV] — "Hagar symbolizes Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to the current Jerusalem, because she is in slavery with her children. But the heavenly Jerusalem is free. She is our mother."

Well, before Jerusalem was no different from where those in slavery or captivity were, Ezekiel successfully acted the prophetic movie of the Jews in her going into captivity outside the walls of Jerusalem, but involving breaking hole through the walls of Jerusalem and going into captivity through the hole.

Interestingly, he was directed to make the show to those already in captivity or exile far away from Jerusalem, instead of to them who were directly tagged in the show. Instead of taking the show to those who are directly stakeholders at Jerusalem in the prophecies to come. Perhaps they later got the message, but the live show of that was only for their brethren in captivity to see, even as theirs was seen by those in Jerusalem when it happened to them.

Well, let's have a more holistic views to these relatives:

◇1◇ A man of God from Judah (Jerusalem) came down from Jerusalem all the way to Samaria to do God's Live Show there, instead of the man of God told to do it where he was in Jerusalem/Judah, because the show concerned those in Samaria, particularly the pagan priests, king and altar, among them.

◇2◇ A man of God from Samaria (in captivity then), Ezekiel, did not come to Jerusalem all the way from Samaria/captivity to do God's Live Show there; instead the man of God was told to do it where he was in captivity and among the captives: Whereas his show concern them in Jerusalem/Judah, particularly the prince, and people of Israel, among them.

◇3◇ Again, another man of God from Judah (Jerusalem) came down from Jerusalem all the way to Caesarea to do God's Live Show there, instead of the man of God told to do it where he was in Jerusalem/Judah, because the show concerns a man there on his way coming in to Jerusalem where the man of God was closeby already.

*** I mean, the man to whom this man of God from Judah was to act the liveshow or signify to was already on his way headed to where the man of God dwelt: The man of God from Judah could have just waited for him to come before he delivers, but instead the man of God from Judah traveled to meet the man in Caesarea — because of the urgency or intent of the message.

*** Just like in the case of the first or previous man of God from Judah having sons of the prophets and old prophet already in Samaria where he went, in this case of another man of God from Judah, there were four daughters of a minister of God there who were all prophetess and virgins. So, in both cases, the coming of the men of God from Judah to their places of the Live-Shows was not because there were no prophets in those in those places, but for who is coming from, or going to, Jerusalem is part of their messages.

*** In the previous case, the ministers of God already there before the man of God came there, included the Old Prophet and the sons of the prophets. And in this other case, the ministers of God already there before the man of God came there, included a famous Apostle, a famous Evangelist, Prophets (Four Prophetess), Pastors and Brethren in the Church of Christ. And yet this man of God from Judah had to still come or travel all the way from Jerusalem or Judah to deliver a message to that famous Apostle, when such caliber of men could hear directly from God or from the Spirit of God. Well, ministers must humble themselves and accept that God may choose to speak to us through another minister, instead of always speaking directly to us: as you saw, even the first man of God from Judah at some point had to heard from God through the mouth of the old prophet in Samaria or this Apostle had to hear from God through the mouth of the man of God from Judah. So, the LORD may keep us still learning/listening at the mouths of our fellows in the ministry & message.

*** In the previous case, no name of the ministers of God were mentioned. But in this case, names of identities of the ministers of God were mentioned: The man of God from Judah is called, “Agabus;” The famous Apostle to whom the man of God from Judah, Agabus, came to signify to Live-Show is call “Paul;” The famous Evangelist, in who's house the Apostle dwelts when this happened was called “Philip (one of the first seven deacons of the church in Jerusalem, together with Stephen the martyred: but being a true Evangelist, he forsook his duty/role as a Deacon in Jerusalem church to go evangelize Caesarea and built the church in Caesarea to Christ);” And the four prophets (prophetess) were identified as “Daughters of Philip the Evangelist.” Behold:

[Acts 21:8-13 LG] — "On the next day those accompanying Paul went forth and came to Caesarea, and entering into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, we stayed with him. Now this man had four virgin daughters who prophesied. And while we remained there several days, a certain prophet from Judea named Agabus came down. And coming to us and taking Paul's belt, and binding his feet and hands, he said, "Thus says the Holy Spirit, ' The man whose belt this is, the Jews will bind in this way in Jerusalem, and they will deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.' " Now when we heard these things, both we and the local residents urged him not to go up to Jerusalem. Then Paul answered, "Why are you weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem, for the name of the Lord Jesus.""

The Lord could be revealing vision or show sign to you concerning someone else, to someone else concerning you. But as to how much you or the person would go to share the revelation or message also matters.

THE ANCIENT OF DAYS — THE ANCIENT OF AGES

Among the heavens, there are many thrones and therefore many kings, many principalities and powers, many priests and rulers, to those thrones. There's a room among the heavens, where thrones are the couches or chairs therein. No ordinary seat in there but only thrones. It therefore means, not all who come into such room has a seat to sit therein. Only those qualified do sit there, others just stand around and keep standing in there, including men and angels.

No one sits on any throne unless the Most High God is sitted on His Throne or sitted first. And when He stands, all sitted on the thrones must stand as well. The Son sitted at the Father's Right Hand but only when the Father sits.

[Daniel 7:9 BSB] — "As I continued to watch, thrones were set in place, and the Ancient of Days took His seat. His Clothing was white as snow, and the Hair of His Head was like pure wool. His Throne was flaming with fire, and its Wheels were all ablaze.”

[Daniel 7:9 TS'2009] — "“I was looking until thrones were set up, and the Ancient of Days was seated. His Garment was white as snow, and the Hair of His Head was like clean wool, His Throne was flames of fire, its Wheels burning fire."

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

Thrones have their places, and each throne has to be set in its on proper place relative to another throne in ranking order and proximity to the greatest Throne amongst them. This order of set-up is applied to thrones first before they apply to them that sit on them.

THE ANCIENT OF DAYS

The Ancient of Days is the First to be sitted. This suggests elderliness is the order of the Thrones and their sitters. The highest and the first to sit is the Eldest of all, referred to as “Ancient of Days.” And after Him comes the Son at His Right, then the Elders, Watchers and Judges. Being an elder there in heaven has nothing to do with the years one is born on earth or number of years in his earthly age. Rather, an elder to any one there denotes light years of ranks apart, which the elder holds above such one, in fullness of Godhead.

He is “The Ancient of Days” or “The Ancient of Ages” — But that does not mean He is old. Oldness does not exist in that realm, for oldness is corruption or deterioration usually associated with longer age among mortal creatures on earth and in hell. He's the Ancient of Days, but He's not Old. Ancient is neither Archaic nor Vintage, but vanguard in this reality.

THE HAIR OF THE ANCIENT OF DAYS

His Hair as Ancient of Days (Ages) was not only like Wool, but like the Pure or the Clean Wool. It's a metaphor to wool, not exactly wool: wool is the hair from a Ram or Ewe outer skin like fur and barne on mature lion. Except the wool of Ram maybe whitish and still not pure or clean enough to represent the description of the Hair of the Head of the Ancient of Days.

Usually, when His Hair is thus revealed in the scriptures, you will not find anything said about any Crown on His Head — His Hair as Pure Wool is already Crowns of Glory on Him as it is. Hence, no crown or covering extra is needed for Glory on His Head. He's on the Throne, but He is also on the Crowns, and not Crowns on Him: His Head and Hair are the greatest Crowns.

[Revelation 1:14 BSB] — "The Hair of His Head was white like wool, as white as snow, and His Eyes were like a blazing fire."

THE GARMENT OF THE ANCIENT OF DAYS

His Garment was white as snow. Though He's the Ancient of Days of all ages, yet He kept His Garment White as snow, and has not defiled His Garment. If you compare that to people who barely spent 20 years, but have already defiled their garments with sin you will value better. See it from this angle:

[Revelation 3:4-5 LG] — "You have a few names in Sardis who have not defiled their garments; and they will walk with Me in white, because they are worthy. He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and by no means shall I erase his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels."

Or see the Lord Jesus from this angle:

[Mark 9:3 BSB] — "His clothes became radiantly white, brighter than any launderer on earth could bleach them."

This means, the whiteness of the Garment of the Lord Jesus Christ was beyond what a launderer or washing machine could have bleached supposing it was stained or defiled before. If His Garments had been stained before, washing and bleaching it would have brought them as white as snow again, but not as it is now that it's never defiled nor stained before, with whiteness that is beyond that which what is washed and bleached can get. Nevertheless:

[Isaiah 1:18 BSB] — "“Come now, let us reason together,” says the LORD. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they will be as white as snow; though they are as red as crimson, they will become like wool."

[Revelation 19:8 LBP] "And it was given to her that she should be arrayed in fine pure linen, clean and white: for fine linen is the righteousness of saints."

I teach in the language of the Spiritual and of the Heavens, that White is the Basic and Authentic clothing to spirit beings — No other color suffices. Whoever is clothed as spirit being, but the clothing/garment is not fully white, whatever be be color other than white, exposes the person's unclothedness. To be naked in that realm does not necessarily mean to be unclothed/uncladded; but means the person is not walking in pure Whiteness without any stain or spot.

THE THRONE OF THE ANCIENT OF DAYS

Both the Throne and Its Wheels were flaming with Fire while the Ancient of Days sat on the Throne. His sitting on the Throne did not quench the Fire, but Kindled and Sustained the Burning fiery furnace of His Throne and Its Wheels. The Fire could not burnt the Throne, the Wheels, the Garment or the Hair of the Ancient of Days.

Someone call the Lord Jesus, the “Fourth Man in the Fire,” and they mean the fire of the furnace of Babylon that Nebuchadnezzar commanded against Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego — which was also a carnal fire made by men, and in which fire He only visited or walked in a while.

Behold, the Ancient of Days literally sits on Throne with Wheels of Flames of Fire, far beyond the furnace fire of carnal men of Babylon. He sits on Throne of Fire, not just Throne of grace. He dwells in Everlasting Burnings.

THE Rabim Cherubim were not seen or mentioned by Daniel in this vision of seeing the Throne and the Wheels burning in ablaze. But I tell you, none who is unworthy dares approach the Throne in ablaze unless by the grace of God.

However, not all can easily see the Fire when they see the Throne. Someone testified of a burning sensation he felt when he was next to the Manifest Glory of the LORD, which made him understood to some extent why Jonah wanted to run away from the presence of God to Tarshish. We mortals need the Shield of the Holy Spirit as the Comforter to be able to stand so close to His Throne.

WHEN THE REBELLIOUS QUESTION THE LOGIC OR SENSE IN IT

To some of these men of God whom the Lord directed to play a show before the people, the LORD only told them what to do before they started without telling them “Why they have to do them?” They had to do whatever He told them to do without understanding the reason, the sense, the message or the significance of what and why they must do those things in the way and pattern He directed them to do those things.

Mary taught the servants of the Wedding feast, that whatever the Lord Jesus tells them to do, they should just do it (asking no question nor demanding explanation to know the logic in doing it first before they do/accept whatever He tells them). So, He told them fill the water pot with water, and they did; and He told them to take from the water, give to the governor, and they did.

In terms of providing water, those servants of the wedding succeeded in doing whatever the Lord told them without questioning the logic in the Lord's instruction, but Moses failed to bringing water out of the rock without questioning the logic and calling the people rebellious without knowing he, by questioning the logic or method to do what he was instructed by the Lord in the sight of the people, was rebellious.

Sometimes, requiring explanation, sign or logic, by questioning what is done or is to be done as commanded by the Lord, is in itself a sign of rebellion. The Lord Jesus Christ said it this way,

[Luke 11:29-30 LG] — "Now as the crowds gathered even more, He began to say, "This generation is evil. It seeks a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah the prophet. For just as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so also the Son of Man will be to this generation."

There's a subtle sign of unbelief, which is rebellious, in those who seek sign or logic (wisdom) from men of God who are themselves the Sign or the Showmen. The people of Nineveh did not ask for any sign or logic to believe Jonah, except perhaps they heard the news of his being cast into the sea and in three days came out alive from the mouth of the beast in the sea: and they all believed his message as if they have seen where such things he was saying happened before.

[John 2:18-22 BSB] — "On account of this, the Jews demanded, “What sign can You show us to prove Your authority to do these things?” Jesus answered, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up again.” “This temple took forty-six years to build,” the Jews replied, “and You are going to raise it up in three days?” But Jesus was speaking about the temple of His body. After He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He had said this. Then they believed the Scripture and the word that Jesus had spoken."

[1 Corinthians 1:22-31 BSB] — "For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: But we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block, and to the Greeks foolishness; But to them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. For you see your calling, brothers, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; And base things of the world, and things which are despised, has God chosen, yes, and things which are not, to bring to nothing things that are: That no flesh should glory in his presence. But of him are you in Christ Jesus, who of God is made to us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: That, according as it is written, He that glories, let him glory in the Lord."

Some of the reasons many logical or wisemen were not able to make it in the LORD's Calling is because they always want to see logical explanation, signs or senses, in the ways of the Lord before they commit themselves into following, believing or obeying Him. Let's see how a rebellious people sought explanation or reason from Ezekiel, who was made sign to them, by questioning his activities.

(Ezekiel 12:9 - BSB) - "“Son of man, hasn’t the rebellious house of Israel asked you, ‘What are you doing?’"

(Ezekiel 12:9 – GWN) - ""Son of man, didn't the rebellious nation of Israel ask you what you were doing?"

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

The Word of the LORD responded to the questioning the people asked the man of God, who himself has not asked the LORD. The LORD directed him to act that way before the people, and he obeyed as the LORD told him without asking questions nor seeking to know the logic or the message the LORD was trying to pass. But the rebellious house were inquisitive and curious to know the sense, the message, the significance or the logic in what the man of God was doing.

Well, even the man of God was doing it without knowing why he was doing it at the time, but just doing it as the LORD commanded him. But in this next morning, the LORD will explain to him what or why He made him do what he did in the previous night.

Even so, there are things you may not understand before or during your doing them in accordance with the Lord's instructions to you; but after you have fully obeyed and done the assignment, the LORD will give you the understanding, the wisdom and the message, in what you have accomplished blindly in obeying Him and following His leading. Therefore, to be a servant of God requires being blind metaphorically or figuratively, because servants of God at some points obey or follow their Lord blindly. As it is written,

[Isaiah 42:18-19 AKJV] — "Hear, you deaf; and look, you blind, that you may see. Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger that I sent? who is blind as he that is perfect, and blind as the LORD's servant?"

LITTLE HORN WITH A MAN'S EYES AND MOUTH

The None-Alike Beast had no resemblance to any living creature on earth while it had the ten horns of his head. But that changed: suddenly, the ten horns were no longer ten in number, and the eyes of a man were introduced into the equation, together with a mouth that spoke great things. Behold the new changes that transpired on the head of this beast:

(Daniel 7:8 - LG) - "While I was thinking about the horns, there before me was another horn, a little one, which came up among them; and three of the first horns were uprooted before it. This horn had eyes like the eyes of a human being and a mouth that spoke boastfully.

(Daniel 7:8 - BSB) - "While I was contemplating the horns, suddenly another horn, a little one, came up among them, and three of the first horns were uprooted before it. This horn had eyes like those of a man and a mouth that spoke words of arrogance."

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

●1● This beast ascended from below the Sea-Level, but a little horn ascended from below his head.

●2● The rising up of the beast caused the fall of many he devoured, crushed and trampled; but the rising up of the little horn from below his head caused the fall and uprooting of three horns on the beast, and later caused the fall of many, until the little used its mouth to cause the perdition of its beast himself:

[‭Daniel 7:20-21 NIV‬] — I also wanted to know about the ten horns on its head and about the other horn that came up, before which three of them fell—the horn that looked more imposing than the others and that had eyes and a mouth that spoke boastfully. As I watched, this horn was waging war against the holy people and defeating them,

●3● This beast came with eyes, but the little horn came with human eyes and would not rely only on the eyes of the beast.

●4● This beast also came with mouth that had iron teeth, but the little horn preferred and came with mouth that spoke great things than one with iron teeth. Mouth that spoke as dragon has more than a mouth that bites as dragon.

Someone was arguing that tiger is stronger than lion of equal pound for pound and therefore tiger should be the king of the jungle, and not lion; besides lions are mainly found in savannahs and not in jungles unlike tigers that thrive in jungles. Granted, tiger may have more fighting skills to beat a lion to it, but what crowned the lion as the king of the Jungle is not just about muscles, size or speed, but the voice of a king in lion, called “Roar” as thunder, which is not in tiger or in any other beasts of the forest with strongest bites or horns.

There are kingdoms in which kings thereof are not necessarily the strongest of men among them physically; for there are men that are stronger or taller than those kings physically or by strength. But what makes them kings are in the powers and values of their words through their mouths.

[‭Ecclesiastes 8:4 AMPC‬] — For the word of a king is authority and power, and who can say to him, What are you doing?

This fourth beast came out the last among the four beasts, but he was the first beast to be destroyed among the four — because of the little horn speaking great things against the Lord through the mouth of that little horn with eyes:

[Daniel 7:11-12] — "Then I kept watching because of the arrogant words the horn was speaking. As I continued to watch, the beast was slain, and its body was destroyed and thrown into the blazing fire. 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."

You see the beast with horns was later destroyed, but its colleagues were given extension of life even after their Dominion or Power had been taken away from them. Therefore, heed this warning:

[Psalms 75:4-7 BSB] — "I say to the proud, ‘Do not boast,’ and to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up your horn. Do not lift up your horn against heaven or speak with an outstretched neck.’” For exaltation comes neither from east nor west, nor out of the desert, but it is God who judges; He brings down one and exalts another."

As one having the eyes of a man, your horn is connected to your mouth in times of victory or rejoicing. Do not lift up your horn by talking proudly, but let God enlarge and exalt your horn. As it is written,

[1 Samuel 2:1-3 AKJV] — "And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart rejoices in the LORD, my horn is exalted in the LORD: my mouth is enlarged over my enemies; because I rejoice in Your salvation. There is none holy as the LORD: for there is none beside You: neither is there any rock like our God. Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogance come out of your mouth: for the LORD is a God of knowledge, and by Him actions are weighed."

Back to identifying the little horn: You saw the rising of this little horn on this beast as the fall of three of the ten horns before it. But do not think it must be thus, for in another vision it was not the fall of three horns that announced the rise of the little horn, but instead there was the rise of four horns announcing the rise of the little horn. As it is written,

[Daniel 8:8-12 BSB] — "Thus the goat became very great, but at the height of his power, his large horn was broken off, and four prominent horns came up in its place, pointing toward the four winds of heaven. From one of these horns a little horn emerged and grew extensively toward the south and the east and toward the Beautiful Land. It grew as high as the host of heaven, and it cast down some of the host and some of the stars to the earth, and trampled them. It magnified itself, even to the Prince of the host; it removed His daily sacrifice and overthrew the place of His sanctuary. And in the rebellion, the host and the daily sacrifice were given over to the horn, and it flung truth to the ground and prospered in whatever it did."

So, it doesn't matter on which beast the little horn emerged, still identify it.

SHOWMANSHIP OF THE WORD OF GOD

After this showman had successfully and obediently acted the Live-Show in the evening or night, in the next morning the Director of the Live-Show — The Word of God — came to him with a saying.

(Ezekiel 12:8 - BSB) - "And in the morning the word of the LORD came to me, saying,"

(Ezekiel 12:8 – LG) - "And the word of the Lord came to me in the morning, saying,"

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

The Word of the LORD is one of the greatest in “Showmanship” as well as in “Director of Showmanship.” Infact, when the Word of God directs the show, the Word is showing the actor of the show what the show should be before the actor, having seen the show in his heart by hearing the Word of God, would conceptualize and display the show (he has seen in hearing the Word of God) into reality and obedience.

Therefore, each time the Word of the LORD came, saying; that saying of the Word of God is basically a “Show” or a “Revelation.” What the Word is saying is what the Word is showing or revealing, to those who have eyes to see and perceive or have ears to hear and understand. Yet that's not all: for in showing or revealing things, the Word of God may not have to manifest, reveal or show those things, but rather to unveil or open the eyes and ears of the man He wants or makes to see and hear the already existing realities, manifestations, secrets or truths. Blessed are those to whom the Word or the Spirit of God shows, reveals, manifests or explains things for them to see/hear.

[Matthew 13:16-17 BSB] — "But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear. For truly I tell you, many prophets and righteous men longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it."

THE NONE ALIKE BEAST WITH THE TEN HORNS

[Job 41:1-34 BSB] — "“Can you pull in Leviathan with a hook or tie down his tongue with a rope? Can you put a cord through his nose or pierce his jaw with a hook? Will he beg you for mercy or speak to you softly? Will he make a covenant with you to take him as a slave for life? Can you pet him like a bird or put him on a leash for your maidens? Will traders barter for him or divide him among the merchants? Can you fill his hide with harpoons or his head with fishing spears? If you lay a hand on him, you will remember the battle and never repeat it! Surely hope of overcoming him is false. Is not the sight of him overwhelming? No one is so fierce as to rouse Leviathan. Then who is able to stand against Me? Who has given to Me that I should repay him? Everything under heaven is Mine. I cannot keep silent about his limbs, his power and graceful form. Who can strip off his outer coat? Who can approach him with a bridle? Who can open his jaws, ringed by his fearsome teeth? His rows of scales are his pride, tightly sealed together. One scale is so near to another that no air can pass between them. They are joined to one another; they clasp and cannot be separated. His snorting flashes with light, and his eyes are like the rays of dawn. Firebrands stream from his mouth; fiery sparks shoot forth! Smoke billows from his nostrils as from a boiling pot over burning reeds. His breath sets coals ablaze, and flames pour from his mouth. Strength resides in his neck, and dismay leaps before him. The folds of his flesh are tightly joined; they are firm and immovable. His chest is as hard as a rock, as hard as a lower millstone! When Leviathan rises up, the mighty are terrified; they withdraw before his thrashing. The sword that reaches him has no effect, nor does the spear or dart or arrow. He regards iron as straw and bronze as rotten wood. No arrow can make him flee; slingstones become like chaff to him. A club is regarded as straw, and he laughs at the sound of the lance. His undersides are jagged potsherds, spreading out the mud like a threshing sledge. He makes the depths seethe like a cauldron; he makes the sea like a jar of ointment. He leaves a glistening wake behind him; one would think the deep had white hair! Nothing on earth is his equal— a creature devoid of fear! He looks down on all the haughty; he is king over all the proud.”"

(Daniel 7:7 - LG) - "After this one I looked, and behold, a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and exceedingly strong, and its teeth were of iron; devouring and crushing to atoms, and it trampled the remainder with its feet. And it was altogether different from the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns."

(Daniel 7:7 - BSB) - "After this, as I watched in my vision in the night, suddenly a fourth beast appeared, and it was terrifying— dreadful and extremely strong— with large iron teeth. It devoured and crushed; then it trampled underfoot whatever was left. It was different from all the beasts before it, and it had ten horns."

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

He already mentioned the four beasts were different from each other, but here he emphatically stated that this fourth beast was altogether different from all the beasts before him. The difference this one brought made it appear like it was the previous ones versus this one — for in all aspects and ramifications, this fourth beast was different, including different in attitude and in physique.

It was not waiting for anything to be given or said to it like the previous ones: That is, this fourth beast was not needing any additional package, makeup, word or dominion, to endorse it before taking over unlike the previous ones. Instead, this particular beast was already built, fully independent, sufficient and strong, as it was; so that his coming out was straight to taking over and doing whatever he wanted and dominating. Examples, we saw the Bear-Alike beast had three ribs in between its teeth, but needed permission and the word before it could go on devouring: but you see this beast in the Bible verse in Red did not care about taking any permission and he just devoured anyone he wanted to devour, crushed anyone into pieces, and even trample or stamped on whatever residue remaining on anyone it devoured or crushed.

This beast does not have fear, but gives fear. People may say, “You can't give what you don't have:” But this beast overthrew such saying in the reality that he did not have fear but always gave or put fear in all. — In the Bible verse in Red, Daniel stated that in the vision, this fourth beast was terrifying, dreadful, terrible and extremely/exceedingly strong.

●1● The Leopard-Alike beast had the Dominion given to it — Those who say “power is not given but taken were wrong” in the case of the Leopard-Alike;

●2● The None-Alike beast did not need Dominion given, but he just took all Dominion and all he could but needed — Those who say “power is not given but taken were right” in the case of the None-Alike Beast.

He was extremely, exceedingly, strong: so he devoured, crushed, trampled: — He was not waiting for anyone to bring all things under his feet as the Lord Jesus Christ waited for all things to be made subject under His Feet; instead, this none-alike beast simply brought all on his way under his feet by trampling or stamping after crushing their pride or power. He's very strong:

[Luke 11:21-22 BSB] — "When a strong man, fully armed, guards his house, his possessions are secure. But when someone stronger attacks and overpowers him, he takes away the armor in which the man trusted, and then he divides up his plunder."

The teeth of this none-alike beast were iron teeth — he had the strongest Bite that made crushing of bones very easy for him. However, even his iron teeth were not his most formidable threat or powers — rather his formidable threat were from among the ten horns he had. One tiny horn would soon sack three of its horns, and that tiny horn will be the greatest threat, danger and powers of this none alike beast, so that, that tiny horn would have Dominion over one third of the stars of heaven, and would practically challenge the Most High God face to face: but it's blasphemies led him into perdition.

In the Book of Revelation, the ten horns were on the seven heads of the Dragon or seven heads of the leopard alike beast: but those ten horns that took the dragon or the leopard alike beast seven heads to carry, only took these none-alike beast one head to carry all the ten horns and their headaches on one head. This was extremely, exceedingly, strong Beast.

By the way, the ten horns are the same whether on the Leopard-Alike or on the None-Alike: — The ten horns are always the ten kings before end comes.

THE PUBLIC SHOW OF OBEDIENCE

The Lord made Ezekiel both the Watchman and the Showman to the house of Israel. And being the Showman to the house of Israel did not make him to show them whatever movie-show he liked or approved at his discretion; rather he was subject to the Spirit and Commandment of God even in dramatizing or showcasing any story. The points and storyline of his shows to the people is not to be ruled by “Best Practices,” but rather ruled by the Spirit or the commandment of God and His message.

Do the show, not just because you are commanded to do it but also, as (according as) you are commanded to do it. Both Moses and the young man of God from Judah did because they were commanded, but along the line they were fell off from doing as they were commanded.

To do anything because you were commanded to do it — Is beginning of the your obedience: but to do it exactly (according) as you were commanded to do it — Is the fulfilling of the obedience. We are called to fulfill our obedience, and not just have obedience (2 Corinthians 10:6). Samuel's issue with Saul as king concerning obedience better than sacrifice had something to do with Saul doing or going because he was commanded but not as he was commanded.

Not all have fully grasped the difference and danger of doing something because God commanded it but not as God commanded it. For example, many pastors still enforce “Tithe” because the LORD once commanded Tithes from the children of Israel, but these pastors do not enforce the “Tithe” as (according as) God commanded it when He commanded it. For example, they receive cash or money, which contradicts how or what God required as Tithes, which must be foodstuff or drinks including strong drinks, alcohol or beer as Tithes; and those who are partakers of the Tithes included the Levites who must not own a land, house or estate, the poor, the orphans, the homeless strangers, and widows, eating the Tithes that must be converted from money to foodstuff by the one paying the Tithes before they are received from the Tithes payer.

My point is that even when some people do things because they were commanded by the Lord to do it, they still don't do it as or according to how the Lord commanded to do it. Half obedience is sacrifice, but full obedience is better than sacrifice.

(Ezekiel 12:7 - BSB) - "So I did as I was commanded. I brought out my bags for exile by day, and in the evening I dug through the wall by hand. I took my belongings out at dusk, carrying them on my shoulder as they watched."

(Ezekiel 12:7 – GWN) - "And I did as He had commanded me: I brought forth my luggage by day as one who carries luggage into captivity, and in the evening I made a breach through the wall and went forth in the dark, carrying my luggage upon my shoulder in their sight."

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️


These which Ezekiel have done in this main Bible verse in Red was a full obedience, better than sacrifice or offering, because he fulfilled what he was commanded in a live reality show while he was the Sign the people were watching.

All these deeds were done by Ezekiel as the Showman to be seen by men, but also as he was commanded by the Word of the LORD to do them. Nothing he did here to be seen by men was in any way a religious activity or churchly conducts, and yet he fulfilled the Word of God in doing this show, seen by men better than some religious people do all their deeds to be seen by men.

A simple difference between men like Ezekiel and those religious folks who also do their works to be seen by men include, (but not limited to): —

■1■ —: Ezekiel in putting up the show to be seen by men packaged the burden and laid it upon his own shoulder, bearing the weight and the shame of being seen by men carrying such burden on him. But,

■2■ —: Those religious folks in putting up the show to be seen by men packaged the burden, but would lay the burden upon other men's shoulders, making those men bear the weight or the shame of carrying such burden on them, while they themselves take the glory of other people's sweat and suffering, taking credits at being seen by men as influencers, servants of God who do not serve men but have men serve them and bow to them.

[Matthew 23:4-12 LG] — "For they bind heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they do not desire to move them with their finger. But all their works they do in order to be seen by men. They make their phylacteries broad and they enlarge the borders of their garments. They love the first couch at banquets, and the best seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the marketplaces, and to be called by men, 'Rabbi, Rabbi.' "But you, do not be called 'Rabbi'; for One is your Teacher, the Christ, and you are all brothers. Do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven. Neither be called teachers; for One is your Teacher, the Christ. But the greatest of you shall be your servant. And whoever exalts himself shall be humbled, and whoever humbles himself shall be exalted."

THE LEOPARD ALIKE BEAST WITH MULTIPLE HEADS AND DOMINION GIVEN TO IT

In Ezekiel’s description of the Rabim Cherubim, he said about four wings:

[Ezekiel 10:21 BSB] — "Each had four faces and four wings, with what looked like human hands under their wings."

Therefore:

◇1◇ - Four faces and four wings beast in the scriptures refers to one of the four Beasts or Living Creatures called “Rabim Cherubim.”

But with a slight variance, if the faces were heads, as in four heads one face:

◇2◇ - Four heads and four wings beast in the scriptures refers to one of the four Beasts that arose from the sea called “Leopard Alike.”

(Daniel 7:6 - KJV) - "After this I saw, and behold, another, like a leopard, which had on its back four wings of a bird; the animal had also four heads; and dominion was given to it."

(Daniel 7:6 - BSB) - "Next, as I watched, another beast appeared. It was like a leopard, and on its back it had four wings like those of a bird. The beast also had four heads, and it was given authority to rule."

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

This third beast was basically the Leopard alike beast with four heads, and with four wings like a bird. It was also the only beast among the four that had four wings and four heads and kept them all without losing any of them. The first beast came out with Eagle's wings but they were torn off from it, but this third beast came out with not just two but four wings and even four heads, and got to keep them. It's therefore the only winged beast among them, and the only beast apart from Leviathan or the Dragon that got multiple heads in the scriptures. [Though there's in the Book of Esdras (apocrypha) a vision of Eagle with three heads]

Some people in trying to interpret this beast, said its four heads represented four rulers that shared or splitted its Dominion into four. But I tell you from the main Bible verse above that the beast did not receive Dominion before its head became four heads; rather the beast received Dominion because its heads were four or seven heads. It was not the Dominion or Kingdom that resulted in splitting it into four, rather it had always been four or seven heads from the time it came out of the sea: the Dominion rewards its four headship.

They say, “Two captains cannot govern the same ship with equal authority,” But this beast here, looking like co-joined quadruplets, metaphorically was like “Four captains governing the same ship with almost equal authority as one.” This earned for it Dominion or Authority given to it. For some ship with one captain (one body with one head) barely fully ruled his ship (body) as this beast had even with four heads and yet no division among the heads.

Why are you giving Dominion or Authority to this beast? What had it done to be worthy of Dominion or Authority to rule? Was it, for it had four wings like some Cherubim, or for it had four/seven heads like some Leviathan/Dragon?

Surely, it got nothing to do with the number of wings it had, but all to do with the number of heads it had. Infact, the book of Revelation spoke similar thing about this “Leopard alike” beast, except that it has seven heads without wings in Revelation but had four heads and four wings in Daniel's vision: however, the way Dominion or Authority was given to the Leopard alike beast upon coming out of the sea in Book of Daniel, so was it given to the Leopard-Alike beast upon coming out of the sea in Book of Revelation. As it is written,

[Revelation 13:1-2 web] — "Then I stood on the sand of the sea. I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads. On his horns were ten crowns, and on his heads, blasphemous names. The beast which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were like those of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority."

So, once the “Leopard alike” beast showed up: one, it always came with one body having multiple heads; and two, it always had Dominion or Authority handed over to it, to take over power or throne in the earth.

We were not told if it's the Dragon or the Lord that gave the Leopard Alike beast the Dominion it received in the main Bible verse in Red, but we were told the Dragon was the one that gave the Leopard alike beast the Dominion, Power, Throne etc., in Revelation 13.

Satan the Dragon had seven heads and ten horns, which the leopard alike beast also had: but the seven heads of the dragon were crowned with seven crowns leaving its ten horns uncrowned; while the seven heads of the leopard alike beast were uncrowned while its ten horns had ten crowns as crowned kings. I said Leviathan has multiple heads to one body [Psalms 74:14].

But no living creature in heaven with God has more than one head counts to one body count. It's better to have one head to multiple Bodies, than have multiple heads to one body.

THE SHOWMAN WITH BLINDFOLD AND BLINDSIDE

There was a time I was staring at some girl I had crush on, and there was a time some girl I had charm on was staring at me, in my early days as a toddler/teenager. I noticed that I hardly catch the girl, I had crush on, looking at me or even showing any sign that she knew I was looking at her: I wondered how a person would know someone this close is looking at her, but would not look back at who is looking and staring at her from this close range. On the other side, I noticed also that I hardly catch the girl, I had charm on, not looking or gazing at me (unless I came within the vicinity without her noticing me first).

I wanted to catch when the first was looking at me, but barely caught her; and I wanted to catch when the second was not looking at me, but I barely caught her not looking at me with her two seductive ball eyes.

Years later, I was transferred into a different state, and never saw both of them again. And I overheard someone correcting another on how to look at someone, saying, “If you are looking at someone (especially while talking behind the person's back), and the person turns to look towards your direction, you should look away from the person while the person is looking at your direction, and subtly look back at the person when not looking at your direction anymore. Don't keep staring at the person as a child does especially because the person is being talked about.” I was like, even looking has rules or there is “Looking Lesson” to learn.

•• Going by this “looking lesson,” I said the second girl I had charm on failed this rule of looking, for I always caught her looking at me.

Later, I heard another rules about looking, and this time the teacher taught the need to look directly into people's eyes, and lock your eyes with their eyes, especially in communication and for communication.

•• With this second “looking lesson,” I said the second girl I had charm on was excellent and good at this rule of looking, because I always caught her looking at me.

Again, another rules about looking, and this involves acting some kinds of movie scenes or shows, in which not looking at the cameras or eyes of audience looking at you was required. Person performing will have to know he's being watched or seen, but must pretend he doesn't know or see that he's being watched — making spectators feel they are seeing better than the actor or the actor has some form of blindside that he/she is not seeing — whereas the actor already saw everything and is acting the scripts, making the watchers to see the things he want them to see or think for the sake of show and suspense.

Though this does not apply in every reality show, for there are reality shows that require actors showing that they can also see and hear the audience as much as the audience can see and hear them, especially when direct communication or phone calls between the audience and the actors are allowed in real time. Yet, there are other shows both in some reality shows and in some movies, in which the actors must pretend they are ignorant of being watched, seen or heard; and even ignorant of a danger behind or ahead of them in the show, when the spectators are shorting watch your back or don't go there, or don't trust that man for he's lying etc., all to make the spectators or watchers to feel they see better than the actors in the shows or movies they already scripted and determined what plays out therein thereout.

•• With this blindfold or blindside rules or “looking lesson,” I said the first girl I had crush on was excellent and good at this rule of not looking at me as if I was a camera man, of pretending with blindside, for I hardly caught her looking at me while looking at her.

Now, in the Show that the LORD God Himself directs, you may be required to either play in the role with the rules of blindside/blindfold, or you may be required to play in the role with the rules of “You see me, I see you; You hear me, I hear you.” There are many examples of such “You see me, I see you…” rules in divine shows in scriptures, which eliminate the syndrome of “Jacob's voice but Esau hands” in the shows. However, let's look at this show with Blindside/Blindfold rules, which God directed Ezekiel to act in a live reality show here:

(Ezekiel 12:6 - BSB) - "And as they watch, lift your bags to your shoulder and take them out at dusk; cover your face so that you cannot see the land. For I have made you a sign to the house of Israel.”"

(Ezekiel 12:6 – GWN) - "Let them see you put your bags on your shoulders and carry them out in the dark. Cover your face so that you won't see the land. I've made you a sign to warn the nation of Israel.""

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

In this Main Bible verse in Red, the LORD, in directing Ezekiel the actor, directs him to ensure people are watching or looking at him but they shouldn't catching him looking at them or even seeing the land in that dark or even hours, in which he was to carry his luggage on his shoulder and wear a blindfold/blindside in the sight of the watchers to assure them that he was not seeing them: And in dark hours without torchlight or lamp, he was to bear his luggage and move out, partially like some neighbors who love to park-out of their rented houses into new houses in the dark or night times to attract lesser eyes on them. Except while packing out, Ezekiel packed out some (not all) of his luggage or baggage through the hole he created in the house, and in his blindfold/blindside among those people watching the reality show.

And the LORD concluded, saying, “I have made you a Sign (Show man or Actor with Movie to be watched) to the house of Israel.”

Thus, these two related things were Ezekiel made to become to Israel:

♤1♤ - Ezekiel was made a “Watchman or Seer” to the house of Israel;

♤2♤ - Ezekiel was made a “Showman or Sign” to the house of Israel.

As the Watchman or Seer, Ezekiel was to watch or see the reality and spiritual shows in other dimensions, visions or revelations, on behalf of the House of Israel, and then tell them or warn them from what he had seen and heard. But as Showman or the Sign, Ezekiel was to become the Show/Sign while the house of Israel themselves become their own watchmen or seers by looking at Ezekiel in real-time live reality show outreaches.

THE SECOND BEAST WITH THE WORD TO IT

In the Book of Acts of the Apostles, there are two different occasions in which a man that's born crippled (lame) from his mother's womb was healed.

♧1♧ - The first man, born crippled or never walked/stood before in his life, who was healed in the Acts of the Apostles — was made whole by Peter, and happened in Jerusalem city by the Temple gate called “Beautiful Gate.”

♧2♧ - The second man, born crippled or never walked/stood before in his life, who was healed in the Acts of the Apostles — was made whole by Paul, and happened in Lystra city of Lycaonia.

The way Peter healed his own born crippled man was slightly different from how Paul healed his own born crippled man: Contrast:

Peter's: —
[Acts 3:1-8 LBP] — "IT came to pass as Simon Peter and John were going up together to the temple at the time of prayer, at the ninth hour, Behold a certain man, lame from his mother's womb, was carried by men who were accustomed to bring him and lay him at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful so that he might ask alms from those who entered into the temple. And when he saw Simon Peter and John entering the temple, he begged of them to give him alms. And Simon Peter and John looked at him and said, Look at us. And he looked at them, expecting to receive something from them. Then Simon Peter said to him, Gold and silver have I none; but what I have I give to you: In the name of our LORD Jesus Christ of Naz'a-reth rise up and walk. And he took him by the right hand and lifted him up; and in that very hour his legs and his feet received strength. And he, leaping up, stood and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking and leaping and praising God."

Paul's: —
[Acts 14:7-10 LBP] — "And there they preached the gospel. And there dwelt in the city of Ly'stra a cripple who had been lame from his mother's womb, who never had walked. He heard Paul speak; and when Paul saw him and perceived that there was faith in him to be healed, He said to him with a loud voice, I say to you, in the name of our LORD Jesus Christ, stand upright on your feet. And he leaped and walked."

There are many things to notice in this Bible references, but focus is on the way Peter had to say the word “...Rise up and Walk” and he was raising or helping the man up to match the Word spoken to him. On the other hand, Paul saw the faith to be healed in the other lame man and saw he was attempting to stand up and walk, though he never stood nor walked before in his life: so Paul spoke the Word only to him, without raising or helping him, to empower or authorizing him to do what he was already attempting to do in faith.

If you understand this about the crippled man Paul healed, you will understand similar things about this second beast that was Bear-Alike.

(Daniel 7:5 - KJV) - "And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh."

(Daniel 7:5 - LBP) - "And the second beast was like a bear, and it stood up on one side, and it had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth; and they said thus to it: Arise, devour much flesh."

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

Like that crippled man Paul healed, this beast was told “Rise up” but in addition to the “Rise up,” it was also told to “Devour (eat) much flesh.”

This was the only beast among the four beasts from below the Sea-Level, to whom Word was spoken or communication in speech was made. It's also the only one among the four that was fully described with the likeness of a single specie or kind of animal, “Bear,” making this beast a pure breed of a specific beast (bear), and the others a hybrid of two or more different creatures. Basically, it's like if you see a bear, you've seen a lookalike of this second beast; not difference in features.

Again, this was the only beast among the four beasts in this Daniel's vision, to whom the Word came, saying, “Arise, devour much flesh.” But the Word told the beast to do the things the beast already had the faith or the sign of doing:

●1● The Beast was already raised up on one side — showing sign of partially rising up — before the Word fully authorized or mandated it to “Rise Up” (but now without fear since it now has the banking of the Word to rise up)

●2● The Beast was already holding three ribs in its mouth between its teeth — showing sign of partially devouring — before the Word fully authorized or mandated it to “Devour much flesh” (but now without fear since it now has the banking of the Word to go on eating or devouring flesh).

To make sure you are with me in understanding my viewpoint, let me illustrate with a dog. — A giant dog sat on the floor with its hind feet below a table, not too high, so that if dog partially stands while sitting — standing on one side (front side) on its two front legs, but at the same time sitting on the other side on its two back legs and tail — the raised head of the dog can see the top of the table, see and sniff the meats or flesh on the table. But it may have to fully stand on all four legs to reach and pick the meat from the table. Somehow, the dog is trained or fears its master, so that it does not eat until the master says the Word, no matter how hungry the dog is.

Now, assuming that under the table, there are ribs or bones on the floor. That Canaanite woman said, the dogs eat crumbs that fell from their masters table; but this dog is different because even the crumbs from the table still does not give it license to eat. They say the patient dog eats the fattest bone, but this dog is patient and had three ribs (bones) in its mouth and still wouldn't eat even the bones in between its teeth — until the master instructs it to eat.

In any case, the Bear, Second Beast, in the Bible verse in Red: was raised on one side but would not fully rise up until the Word tells it to rise, and had three ribs in between its teeth but still will not crush or eat even the ribs in between its teeth until the Word tells or lets it to eat or devour as much as it's is permitted by the Word.

Can you find such discipline and loyalty in trials and temptations among men or dogs? They will make excuses, that as a fish cannot deny water so are we in sin — leaving a young man with beautiful women is likened by them to as leaving a hungry goat with yams and naturally the goat will eat the yam, especially when no one is seen around by the goat.

There's a video of a dog, sitting as I described before a table. It's master positioned the camera opposite the dog in the room, and brought out a fried leg of a chicken from a ground shelf of a cupboard; and he placed the leg at the edge of the table close to the dog, closed the shelf and warned the dog not to eat the meat on the table. Then the master left the room for some minutes, while the camera was observing. The dog was first tempted to sniff the meat, then it licked the meat with its tongue while still maintaining its posture. After still no sign of its master coming, the dog quickly ate the chicken leg and its bone swallowed, and then the dog quickly opened the shelf and brought out the second leg of the chicken and placed it where its master placed the first one, closed the shelf and returned to sit in the same posture. And the master found the dog and meat the same way he left it, not knowing what transpired.

I recall what an elder once told me, “Beware of dogs: for a dog may guard your house and your meat ferociously against external robbers, but the same dog will steal your meat which it guards against other robbers.” But behold this second beast that's like Bear passed it's trial and was given the Word

DIGGING HOLE THROUGH THE WALL FOR A LIVE SHOW MOVIE

When God Himself directs the show or movie you have to act and dramatize before the public, you may find out that even a little detail, one may have overlooked or shoved as insignificant, matters very much especially when they are part of the message of the movie show.

Have you ever acted, starred or featured in a movie or drama, in which the LORD God Himself is the direct director? If you have, you may know how meticulous, detailed and instructive the Director can be for you to play the role, show exactly or almostly, as He has it in Mind. He may put the exact words He wants you to say, patterns He wants you to follow, clothing or costumes He wants you to wear, way or door He wants you to pass through, food or drinks He wants you to eat, virtually almost anything can be very significant and part of the message, like He moved men to write the scriptures/cannons.

He told Moses, see that you make the tabernacle exactly the patterns that I showed you: and Moses supervised the construction to be according to the plan, patterns and specifications. He told the man of God from Judah, do not return the same way you came, but follow another route, even if that's longer or harder: — that instruction was part of the show outreach the man of God was to put up: not eating or drinking where he's putting up the live show, and not making U-Turn to follow again the same part in returning. Unfortunately, the man of God violated these two instructions: By returning with the old prophet He had returned the same way he went, and he ate and drank there; and that was the end of his show, but not the end of his message, which the show was meant to illustrate. So, even when he died from acting the movie due to his costly mistake, the old prophet witnessed that dead man of God's message was very real and very significant: and infact, his death in connection with the movie, made the public more interested in seeing and observing his last movie and message, for which he died and was buried there after.

The Rabim Cherubim are always putting on show: hope you know matching parade is also a great show? They do not turn as they move, and other things they put up with both in the Sight of God and angels. Angels too are some of the greatest Show Actors and Actresses: Yes, Angels are Stars in Shows, Signs and Wonders, even from heaven to earth. I am surely there were much more the shepherds saw angels put up in the night the Lord Jesus Christ was born.

Now, as the LORD was directing the show that Ezekiel was to act, one of the instructions the Director gave to the actor implies that he should not go out through the door or window of his house in the live show or in the real-time live reality show. You know how some people may do “Instagram Live” or “TikTok Live” and they are been watched in real life and real time in whatever they are doing either in the house or outside. Except that this live show of Ezekiel was not to win “Guinness Record” or to gain gifts from those who joined the live show: rather this Ezekiel’s real time live show was to illustrate or signify Prophecy that must alter history of mankind.

I related the story of the young man of God from Judah as an example of Live Show that the LORD God Himself was the Director, and how He had to kill the man of God for violating the instructions in the Live-Show. Let's see another example to show you how serious it is when you are the actor in a live show that the LORD God Himself directs. It was Moses, directed by God that in the live show, as the people are watching, Moses should speak to the Rock, and the Rock will give water to the people in that live show: but Moses violated the instruction in the midst of the Live show, speaking angrily because the people and then struck the Rock. And yes, water still came out and people saw the miracle; but not the message. Therefore, similar pronouncement made against the young man of God from Judah was also made against Moses, for both violated the Show. How was the pronouncement or sentence similar to both men of God? To one the Lord was like, “You shall not lead this people into, or you shall not enter into, the Promised Land — Not even your dead body shall enter there.” To the other one the Lord was like, “You or your dead body shall not come into Judah or to your fathers’ grave.”

So, Live-Show Business is very serious when the LORD God Himself is directing you as the actor while the people are watching. It could be you on the pulpit, and the Lord instructed you to say or do a specific thing while people are watching — take heed to do exactly what He told you. For people may be celebrating the service was already wonderful and miracles happened; but while they are celebrating the success of the show, the LORD is passing your death sentence, because you did not believe Him to sanctify Him before the people. Even as a writer, I felt this.

This then was specific instruction of God to Ezekiel on how he must come out his house in that live show or in the sight of the people:

(Ezekiel 12:5 - BSB) - "As they watch, dig through the wall and carry your belongings out through it."

(Ezekiel 12:5 – LBP) - "Make a breach through the wall in their sight and go forth through it."

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

It's clear, he was not to use the door or window to exit his house in the live show as the people watched; but instead he must make a way where there is no way, creating a hole through the wall of the house, and bringing both him and his baggage for captivity out through that hole.

This was not the first time the LORD God had instructed Ezekiel to dig through a wall and use the hole he dug as entrance or exit. Recall:

(Ezekiel 8:7-9 BSB) — "Then He brought me to the entrance to the court, and I looked and saw a hole in the wall. “Son of man,” He told me, “dig through the wall.” So I dug through the wall and discovered a doorway. Then He said to me, “Go in and see the wicked abominations they are committing here.”"

Then, he was instructed and dug hole through a wall in the temple court to have access into a secret room to see devilish show or see a Movie on which abominations were done in secret. In nutshell, then he dug a hole through a wall to go see a live show, but now and here he is to dig through a wall (not to see a live show, but) to be and as the actor of the Live-Show in the sight of the people. This particular digging and using of a hole through a wall instead use of door is more serious than the previous one, because God is directing the Live Show in this case: and that hole on the wall will continue as a “Handwriting on the wall” to all who saw him and still recall that hole on that wall.

In any case, know and follow His specific instructions in connection with any house show: Shem and Japheth heard there was a live show of shame in their father's tent, who lay naked from drunkenness, and because they were not to see that show but to cover the show, they came into the room backwards with a covering. As for Ezekiel previously, he was even to create or expand an existing Crack in the wall to go in to see the live show of abomination therein. And as for the four bearers of the paralyzed man, they had to dig a hole through the roof to get the sick man close to the Lord Jesus Christ in a show.

Sometimes, Dig-through is Break-through, Pass-through is Pass-over.

THE FIRST BEAST WITH A MAN's HEART

I was saying that the four beasts that ascended from below the Sea-level were different from each other, even though they came from the same habitation. That is, there was not a single part of their body features that was even common: they preferred resembling other beasts or birds, than resembling anyone of them in any body feature. If any one of them had identified with any animal as it's lookalike in any part of its body, the others will not have anything else to do with that animal in resemblance, feature or likeness. If one already have wings like eagle, the other with wings will make it's wing is not like eagle but like any other bird or fowl. The fourth beast was even more extreme in being different from the rest, because the fourth refused to even resemble any other beast that has existed: The fourth beast just came with its own unique resemblance only to itself, without any precedence, image or likeness to any creature, not even in leg, hand, face, or any body feature, did it share lookalike with any creature, unlike the first 3 that refused resembling themselves but resembled different creatures in different features of them.

You may say concerning these four beasts, “As their faces are different, so are their needs different.” But do not say that concerning the Rabim Cherubim, though their faces be different.

Let's look at the differences in the four great beasts that arose from the sea, beginning with the first beast, which is also the one that succeeded in having at least three of its features resembling three different creatures including man unlike the rest: Examples, the second beast resembled just one creature alone, the third beast resembled two creatures in shared features, but the fourth resembled no one, not even in DNA but would rather have people to resemble it or receiving its mark of the beast to identify with it.

(Daniel 7:4 - BSB) - "The first beast was like a lion, and it had the wings of an eagle. I watched until its wings were torn off and it was lifted up from the ground and made to stand on two feet like a man, and given the mind of a man."

(Daniel 7:4 - LG) - "The first was as a lioness, and her wings as an eagle's; I beheld until her wings were plucked, and she was lifted off from the earth, and she stood on human feet, and a man's heart was given to her."

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

The basic likeness of the first beast was that of a Lion, but the beast also had wings that dwelt in the likeness of those of an eagle. After some undisclosed exchange, the wings of the Eagle this beast had were ripped off from the beast, but the heart of a man was given to the same beast.

In the main Bible verse in Red, Daniel attested that “I (Daniel) watched or beheld the beast until its wings were torn off. So, something was marvelous or pleasant to the eyes to behold or watch about this Lion Beast with Eagle's Wings, even in Daniel's vision. It's like as John marveled at behold the great LovePeddler sitting on the scarlet beast that ascended from the Bottomless Pit. But Daniel also said that his staring at this Lion Beast (perhaps without blinking), was upsetted at the point where the Wings of the Lion Beast were torn off.

Thus, the glory, wonder, mystery and charm of this Lion Beast, were powered by the Wings of the Eagle it had. Great beauty and glory were ribbed off the beast by ribbing of the Wings from the Beast.

I recalled seeing a scene long ago, either in a movie or in reading a book, I forgot exactly which: In that scene, a character, the Devil or Satan, punished his messenger demon, for failing to accomplish the assignment he sent the angel or demon to do on earth and coming back with failure report or — the punishment Satan inflicted on that demonic angel was in ripping off one of the wings of the angel; and the angel screeched in pains, pleading to his/her master, Satan, while Satan was tearing off the wing. Satan would not tolerate failure from any of his subjects. I felt sorry for the angel/demon, seeing that.

Behold, such ripping off wings had been: In the Scriptures and Visions, we have seen where one who had Eagle's Wings before, had its wings ripped; and we have also seen where one who never had wings, was given Eagle's Wings.

♤1♤ — This Lion Beast had its Eagle's Wings taken away from it, and its went from having wings to having none.

♤2♤ — The Woman in Revelation 12 had Eagle's Wings given to her, and she from not having them before, to now having Wings. As it is written,

[Revelation 12:14] — "And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent."

So, if we have seen where the Wings of the Eagle were taken off from, we should also see where they are given to. Balance the story with telling us to whom You gave what you took away from one man: it’s about give and take or take and give, but not a seizure or seizing one's things without giving it to anyone.

However, that Woman, to whom the Eagle's Wings were given in Revelation 12, was not the only Woman with Wings in the scriptures. There have been women with great wings in scriptures and in vision. Example is written:

[Zechariah 5:9] — "Then I lifted up my eyes and looked, and behold, there came out two women, and the wind was in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork; and they lifted up the ephah between earth and heaven."

Back to the Lion Beast, especially after its great Wings of Eagle were ripped off — Some Different kind of wonders, glory and marvelous signs began to happen after the Lion Beast was ripped off its wings. One would think taking off its wings meant taking off its glory and wonders, but instead that was even when greater wonders began to happen through this Beast, by grace of God.

♡1♡ — The Lion Beast was lifted above the earth without the Wings — How are you still able to mount up without wings? Were your wings not torn off? How are you able to still ascend above the earth without wings?

Ironically, when the lion beast still had those wings, he was still operating on earth like a mere four footed beast; but when the wings were torn off from it, it began operating as eagle or bird of heaven above earth or above the ground animals. It's levels changed, and it was elevated above the ground where the rest three of the four beasts were.

♡2♡ — The Lion Beast was given uprightness, which is not common among beasts. Mankind is by default created upright or has ability to walk or stand up on two feet upright like Joseph's Sheaf in his dream, while his brothers sheaves were like the rest of the land animals in that they were by default created to bow while walking or standing, since they do so on all four or all limbs they have.

But behold, the Lion Beast with given to stand upright, by standing on feet as a man, no longer standing on Paws of a Lion but now feet of a man as man.

♡3♡ — The Lion Beast was, above all, given the heart and mind of a man. Some people would call a man, “Beast,” not because he resembles a beast outwardly, but because of the nature of beasts in his heart or mind. I recall a book I read those days titled, “The Heart of Man;” showing sequences of diagrams of ❤️ with different animals inside the heart, such as Dog in the heart representing fornication because dogs love sex and sexual things, Pig (Swine) uncleanness, serpent deceit and lies, leopard etc., And the presence of the LORD God and the Holy Spirit in the regenerated/redeemed man's heart..

Supposing it was flipped, what will the Heart of Man in a Lion Beast on a Man's Feet in uprightness standing above the earth, represent?

Daniel 7:17 explain the beasts to real life situation

CARRY YOUR BAGGAGE FOR THE OUTREACH

[Matthew 23:5-9 BSB] — "All their deeds are done for men to see. They broaden their phylacteries and lengthen their tassels. They love the places of honor at banquets, the chief seats in the synagogues, the greetings in the marketplaces, and the title of ‘Rabbi’ by which they are addressed. But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers. And do not call anyone on earth your father, for you have one Father, who is in heaven."

The reference began and connected with all their works are done for men to see. And that doesn't sound like a good thing in this context — Clergy men loving the attentions, honors and titles, they get in the public and the publicity.

Differentiate between those ministers/clergymen or churchly dressed priests, prophets, pastors, who do all their works to be seen, loved, gifted, and honored, by men. They love to emphasize their own works or stories of miracles, mighty deeds, God did through them, to flaunt their so called Anointing, Prosperity, Miraculous deeds, sizes of their investments, properties, estates, wealth, etc., before people, and loves to be called, “Father, father in the Lord, papa, spiritual father etc.,”

So, while these categories of ministers are in the show business, seeking publicity and attention with respect, love and honor, from men; there are also genuine ministers who are out there with show outreach for message of the Cross and the Crowns of the Lord Jesus.

To differentiate the ministers in the show business from the ministers in the show outreach:

■1■ - The ministers/clergymen in Show Business: These are business men, their shows are part of their business and transactions. Their shows are their marketing or selling to you contents of them to draw you to them or to wherever they pitched their tent for gathering, and then keep you as subscriber to keep subscribing by always returning to the same tent or venue of gathering, and gradually they get you calling them father in the Lord, and to them you give your tithes, firstfruits, offerings and prayer requests.

■2■ - The ministers/clergymen in Show Outreach: These are not business men in this context, but rather these are watchmen. Their shows are not in anyway marketing or selling to you contents of them to draw you to them; rather their shows are part of their message or illustrations of the message of God. They are not drawing you to them, but drawing you to the ministry and the message. Some of them may take offerings and gifts from you, and yet they are genuine. For they are worthy of collecting from you, as a workman is worthy of his wage: you must give to them as God may lay in your heart to do.

■3■ - The ministers/clergymen in Show Business: These ministers usually show their successes, show their positive images, show their affluence, show you their supernatural or miracle deeds done by them, show you philanthropy or free donations they gave, show you glories and riches, and shares good things they self acclaim to have done in the lives of others with their own mouth testifying so or the mouths of those they have recruited to share such testimonies of them etc., I mean, as business men, how else do you market or advertise your brand products and services if not by portraying the best and good images of what you sell, while hiding the defective or bad things from the public to whom you display these things. Like someone uses, “How you dress is how you are addressed.” — Hypocrites.

■4■ - The ministers/clergymen in Show Outreach: These ministers usually show or display the message of Christ, of the cross, of the gospel, of the grace, of the glory and of the kingdom of heaven, without caring about their public image, appearance, or people's impressions or opinions about them. They already know that you can't be highly esteemed among men without becoming abomination to God. Sometimes, they seems more happy in publicly sharing or displaying the shames, sufferings or wounds they have for their love for Christ, than displaying so called riches, cars, prosperity, etc, they have from Christ or from sowing seeds (money) in church gatherings.

[Hebrews 11:26 BSB] — "He valued disgrace for Christ above the treasures of Egypt, for he was looking ahead to his reward."

Having separated the show business from the show outreach, here:

(Ezekiel 12:4 - LG) - "And you shall carry forth your baggage, baggage for captivity, by day before their eyes; and you shall go forth at evening, as a captive goes forth, in their sight."

(Ezekiel 12:4 – BSB) - "Bring out your baggage for exile by day, as they watch. Then in the evening, as they watch, go out like those who go into exile."

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

The Word of the Lord directed Ezekiel on how to act the movie or show outreach, especially ensuring He does it to be seen by men; for if he does it in secret and men do not see the show, the purpose for the show is then defeated. The content in the scene/verse of the whole show is to carry his bag, and send the signal of going into captivity with the baggage for captivity, in the people's attention and sight.

You know, there's a way he may carry the bag and people would think he's about to travel or move to a retreat ground, or a relocation. So, He must ensure the bag is baggage for captivity, and he bears the bag in the sight of men in daylight especially evening when they are off work but yet on the streets to see him.

How does carrying a baggage for captivity look like? In John Bunyan's framework of the Pilgrim's Progress, the protagonist called “Christian” set out from the city with a bag of burden on him, called sin or guilt. It was heavy on him, and yet he could not be free from it, neither could he drop it, until he came to the foot of the Lord's Cross and beheld the Lord Jesus Christ crucified for Him. When he saw Him crucified for him, Christian was set free, and the burden fell off.

Carrying a baggage for captivity in illustrating going into captivity is like carrying the cross in going to be crucified on the same cross you carry, in the sight of men on the streets. It's also like Jeremiah's yoke on him in illustrating similar message. Those who dwell in exile by then already knew how those headed into captivity or exile bear their baggage for captivity; and the illustration was to them. Those who dwelt in Africa in centuries back knew how african slaves were packaged and carried away into Europe and America, where they served as manpower and free labor in building America and Europe.

It was his necessary baggage for captivity, the Lord told Ezekiel to bear with him. The Lord Jesus once sent His disciples into missionary work but only among Israelites, telling them not to speak to any non-Israelite and not come into the house of any Gentile. He also told them not to carry bags, purse or money along to the journey, because the Workman is worthy of his wage, and those to whom He send them should make offerings of food and drinks (not money) as sign of receiving them: and they shall pronounce peace upon that house.

Later, in the night He was arrested, the Lord told them to ensure that next time they go for the ministry and message, they should take bags along with them. He had to tell them that before He died, not after He rose from the dead. As it is written,

[Luke 22:35-37] — "And He said to them, "When I sent you without a money bag, and a knapsack, and sandals, did you lack anything?" And they said, "Nothing." Then He said to them, "But now, he who has a money bag, let him take it, and likewise also a knapsack; and he who has no sword shall sell his garment and buy one. For I say to you that this which has been written must still be accomplished in Me— the saying, 'And He was numbered with the transgressors.' For the things concerning Me have a fulfillment.""

THE reason a minister of show Outreach is better of carrying his bag and baggage in preparation and provision for the Outreach, is so that he will not have to ask for offerings or too dependent on people's gifts, food for his sustenance. And thus, he will be more efficient in his ministry and message during the Outreach.

Learn from Melchizedek, who's both a king and a high priest of God: yet, in his Outreach He carried his bag containing Bread and Wine. Abraham on the other hand, seemed to have been so hasty in running into battle that his men or soldiers either did not carry the food bag or the ones they carried were not enough. So, Melchizedek met Abraham returning with victory, and Melchizedek from His bag brought forth bread and wine for Abraham, who's men had eaten Sodom’s foodstuff while he had an oath to never to take anything belonging to the king of Sodom. Carry your bag and baggage for the outreach or campaign.

THE RISE OF THE BEASTS FROM BELOW SEA LEVELs

Now, supposing there are levels of heights calibrated, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10… according to the heights of the levels: And there are three men, each starting on different level to run a race called, “Ascending:” Each man is to be rewarded or awarded with a prize called “Dominion” if he gets to level 7 and above; But there's a hidden secret that applies and imparts on the “Dominion” to be given from level 7 and above. This hidden secret may or may not be communicated to all the 3 contestants, but only the wiser or wisest of them would know and apply the hidden secret. This is the hidden secret:

“The Dominion will be imparted, reinforced, stronger, better, last longer and higher, etc, by both the deeper, the higher and the distance traveled, by each man to get and to keep the Dominion. Deeper here represents depression, humility, lowliness or bottom-baseness the man has been and has in his being: and higher here represents the elevation, epic, apex, summit, highness the man has been and has in his being: while distance traveled is the coverage.”

◇-◇ Mr. A is one of the contestants for the Dominion; and his starting level in life is from level 3: his goal and journey is not too far from where he began to ascend. He worked really hard and eventually ascended to level 7 faster before the rest. Therefore, he's given Dominion over the earth for a long time.

◇-◇ Mr. B is one of the contestants for the Dominion; and his starting level in life is from level -1 below 0 point or below “Sea-Level:” Mr. B has longer distance and journey to cover in his ascension through and beyond the bench mark to the reward for ascension (reward for rising) called “Dominion.” He worked really harder and eventually ascended to level 7 and even level 8 above the first. Therefore, he is given Dominion over the earth that is stronger and better than the Dominion given to the first man. Mr. B has a Dominion over both the entire natural worlds and some (one-third) of the supernatural worlds, so that a portion of the celestial worlds, a portion of the spiritual world including a portion angels and stars of heaven, etc., were added to the Dominion he commands and subdues. Unlike Mr. A before him, who only had Dominion over the birds of air, beasts of the fields, fishes of the sea, and over all the earth and the living creatures of the earth and those moving in it.

Moreover, the Dominion of Mr. B was supposed to last far more multiple times longer than the duration Mr. A lasted, because of that hidden secret that applies, but which neither of them two knew. And unfortunately, Mr. B began to abuse his Dominion, seeing he has the greatest Dominion yet given to any man that had it before him. Pride and arrogance took over him, and he began to blaspheme and challenge He who owns the Dominion he was given; and his Dominion and power are greater than any man had before him, for he also dominated a part of heaven from earth below. But his pride, arrogance and blasphemies, were fast breaking the hidden secret rules, and for that reason, he did not even last up to half the duration of Mr. A’s grace period before the owner of the Dominion killed him. So, Mr. B that potentially could have lasted far more than Mr. A, {{since Mr. B began from below sea level or from Bottomless Pit on his journey to ascending, unlike Mr. A who began from level 3 or was born with a golden spoon}}, went into perdition or destruction quickly because of his pride and terrible attitude; while Mr. A was still allowed to live on (though without Dominion anymore) for a while.

◇-◇ Mr. C is one of the contestants for the Dominion; and His starting level in life is from level 10…. above: He was already in a higher level above the reach required for the dominion, and if He wanted, He could have just taken the Dominion from above, which is where He dwells. But He alone among the three knew that hidden secret that applies and decided to fulfill them. Therefore, He began His journey from the topmost or highest level, descending and descending, crossed level 3 on His way down still descending. By the time He reached level 0 in His descent, He had already qualified and received the highest Dominion because He had covered more distance than the rest, though His was descending while the others’ were only ascending. The reason it was so for Him is because, from the height He started from, descending in that race from level 10 to level 0 is harder work to do than ascending from below to level 7 or 8. The humility and humiliation He has to suffer to descend or condescending to level 0 from level 10 above, after having tasted the glories and pleasures of level 10, requires Him to make Himself of no reputation, have the greatest lowliness of being deeply humbled beyond the measure even seen or heard in other man, and full of all meekness as a Lamb. So, at level 0, all Dominion in heaven and earth were already given to Him, and He needed not to continue the race anymore for all things are given to Him. Yet, He still continued and decided to keep going down: He died at level 0, to keep descending, crossed level -1 and still descending, until He reached level -3, and no more depth for Mr. C to descend.

Therefore, He began to ascend, and each levels He ascended was gaining more things added to all authority or dominion He already had: these included but not in a particular order, recovering the souls of the dead, having the dead raised with Him to life, collecting the keys of death and hell, setting captives free, leading captivity captive, recovered gifts, talents, skills or potentials, from there and gave those gifts and treasures to men on earth etc. When He ascended back to zero, He rose from the dead. He continued ascending, not to the level 7 or bench mark, but ascending to His Father far above. He was not seeking Dominion or authority which He already had, and which He gave His friends to be using on His behalf in His Name on earth to complete the assignments He gave them to do on earth while He continued His journey of ascending. He valued coming to His Father and dwelling with His Father above the highest earthly life as the greatest King of Kings on earth. He isn't interested in manifesting to the world yet as Son of God, risen from the dead, nor to overthrow Caesar and Rome, to become the next King of Kings with His Kingdom in Israel. He was still keeping to the hidden secret that applies to the Dominion, and He kept ascending to fill all things.

Back to Daniel's vision by night, and the great Tsunami by the Four Winds of heaven upon the sea:

(Daniel 7:3 - BSB) - "Then four great beasts came up out of the sea, each one different from the others:"

(Daniel 7:3 - LG) - "And four great beasts came up out of the sea, each differing from one another."

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

In this Main Bible verse in Red, four diverse Beasts, collectively called “Great Beasts,” ascended from below the Sea-Level. Their ascension is rewarded with Dominion or Kingdom over all the earth, but not yet revealed in this main Bible verse in Red. So, let's stick with just their ascending and where they ascended or rose from, and their differences — for their differences are their marks of the beasts they are.

Always note the levels and direction from where any beast of such nature and magnitude first emerged. Examples:

[Revelation 11:7 LG] — "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."

[Revelation 17:8 LG] — "The beast which you saw was, and is not, and is about to ascend out of the bottomless pit and go to perdition. And those who dwell on the earth shall marvel, whose name is not written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world, when they see the beast that was, and is not, and shall be present."

[Revelation 13:1 LG] — "Then I stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads blasphemous names."

[Revelation 13:10-12 LG] — "Then I saw another beast rising out of the earth. This beast had two horns like a lamb, but spoke like a dragon. And this beast exercised all the authority of the first beast and caused the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose mortal wound had been healed."

Basically, all those four great beasts in Daniel's vision by night ascended from the great sea. You may see other beasts in other visions of Daniel emerging from one of the four winds of heaven or four cardinal points, such as the ram and the he-goat. But in this class, the emerging of the beasts is not connected to either east, north, west or south, since the four winds of heaven stirred the same great sea: rather their emerging is connected from the Bottomless Pit (Abyss), from the sea or from the earth. Note this.

And also note their differences, without uniformity. The only thing common or similar to the four of them is that they all came from the same place called the great sea by the great Tsunami, and they were all great.

In contrast to their differences but coming from one habitation, there are beasts that ascended or came from the same habitation called Bottomless Pit, and still retained uniformity and resemblance in their thousands -The Locusts.

WHAT PASTORS & PROPHETS DO FOR PUBLICITY

Someone said about a man, “Why is he always in the news for wrong and controversial reasons?” Well, the news sell better with such bad news, wrong reason news, and controversial news, making headlines. Even social media algorithms seems to be waging war against good news or good contents, in favor of bad news and cosmetic contents that excite the people but add no value to their soul and spirit.

A minister of God would be faithful doing goodworks, building souls, helping people, feeding the hungry, etc., and such minister will hardly make headlines especially when he dwells among rebellious people that have eyes but do not see, and have ears but do not hear. But the moment that minister of God is alleged to has done or said something evil, that news about that minister of God will instantly make headlines and masses will begin commenting on the alleged evil he did, saying all manner of things against the ministry and the minister.

As in evil content gains more attention than good content in the world and so, marginalization and sabotage against good works or contents. Well, ministers of God, who do not perform miracles that will catch the attention of the world should not play into a dirty trick of pulling out a controversial or shameful act just to get some publicity.

However, the LORD Himself sometimes sends His prophets to act or pull out some drama or abnormal contents that will equally catch the attention or publicity of the masses toward those prophets or ministers without them performing miracles and without them committing sin.

There are pastors and prophets, who do not perform miracles, but yet they have successfully caught attention and publicity of the people with innovative content shows, dramas and suspends. I know some people may have frowned at turning the church into theatre for shows and entertainments only. I slightly agree with them if it is done as an in-house show, but disagree with them if it is done as a street show in evangelism or outreaches. My points actually:

♧1♧ Use every reasonable entertainment, theatrical, dramatic shows, signs and symbols, or contents that catch the attention or publicity of the world in the streets or outdoors, to cause the messages of God to be heard by those who may not hear them otherwise until they die.

♧2♧ But sanctify the altar or pulpit in the tabernacle as a place for prayer and sacrifice, not for theatrical drama, carnal entertainments.

The Lord Jesus Christ performed more miracles in the streets and outdoors than He did within a church building or synagogues. He was more on the streets, attracting attention or publicity of those outside the church buildings or synagogues, to His Messages through signs and wonders.

Signs and wonders are not only about displaying supernatural powers; for if you have wisdom, knowledge, skills, innovations, etc, you can also perform signs and wonders in your publicity as pastor, prophet or evangelist. Some of the major prophets in the Bible with much words and messages from God without much miracles, still did performed or demonstrated signs or dramas on the streets to capture headlines and publicity to their messages during their times. Examples:

◇1◇ Isaiah the prophet at a time practically walked naked and barefooted in the public (Isaiah 20:2-3), and as the news and publicity spread, so did the message of God by him.

◇2◇ Jeremiah the prophet at a time practically walked with a yoke around his neck to demonstrate the message getting into bondage or yoke of Babylon to be saved, against other preachers’ message of anointing breaking the yoke and the Lord has set them free by faith (Jeremiah 27, 28), and as the news and publicity spread, so did the message of God by him.

◇3◇ Ezekiel the prophet at a time practically and publicly laid in one spot and on the body side for 390 days, and on the other body side for another 40 days, and he had to bake his food publicly with cow dungs (Ezekiel 4), and as the news and publicity spread, so did the message of God by him.

◇4◇ Hosea the prophet at a time practically and publicly married a notorious LovePeddler/prostitute, and paid bride price on her (Hosea 1), and as the news and publicity spread, so did the message of God by him.

◇5◇ So many of the prophets and ministers of God who had to go through such public spectacles just to capture the attention, publicity, seeing and hearing of the people and public to the message of God by them. Some of the preachers/prophets had to be persecuted, arrested, and even martyred or killed, for the publicity, and for the seeing and hearing of the public people to the message of God by them. The way the young man of God from Judah died and the attitude of the Lion and the horse, and the old prophet, gained the publicity, the hearing, the considerations and attention of the people into the young man of God's message and story. The earlier Apostles and Disciples of the Lord Jesus went through these publicity spectacles for the sake of the Ministry & the Message, by facing persecutions and death for the Word of their Testimony.

(Ezekiel 12:3 - LBP) - "Therefore, son of man, prepare for yourself the things which are necessary for captivity, and go into the captivity by day in their sight; go from your own place to another place, so that they may see, because they are a rebellious house."

(Ezekiel 12:3 – BSB) - "Therefore, son of man, pack your bags for exile. In broad daylight, set out from your place and go to another as they watch. Perhaps they will understand, though they are a rebellious house."

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

In this Main Bible verse in Red, after the Word of God revealed to Ezekiel that he was dwelling among rebellious people, who have eyes but do not see, and have ears but do not hear: — The Word of God is hereby telling him to change strategy, and pull out a stunt or sign in a one-man show, by preparing and packing things he would need, and then to go into captivity in the broad daylight and publicly while the people watched him go into captivity as a captive. This perhaps will get the people's attention, make headlines, go viral, etc among the people who have ears but do not hear, eyes but do not see; but are ready to see or hear when the man of God does something that seems bad or something bad happened to that man of God or prophet.

Jeremiah the prophet had pulled similar publicity by putting himself in or under a yoke to Babylonia captivity, but Ezekiel’s own in the main Bible verse in Red was more like he was already in captivity or exile with the people, and still demonstrating another going into another captivity to people that were already in captivity or exile.

SEEING IN VISION BY NIGHT: — THE GREAT TSUNAMI

Lions, some beasts, insects and sea creatures, have abilities to see by night. Such creatures have night visions, which are able to see through darkness without light. Their daylight sight also have inbuilt night visions that work in the darkness as well as in light.

Mankind was built to have combination of both higher sight and higher vision above those of the animals and birds before the fall. Our visions should have gone beyond seeing through darkness or night what appears now, to seeing what is yet to come in even thousands of years and thousands of light years distance apart. Those of us who attain high calling and gift of God will be given this gifts and abilities to see in such magnitude and extents, and among such telescopes, microscopes, or magnifying lenses/glasses, would be forever irrelevant and useless. Lights will abound to them, not because they need them to see through, but because they are children of the Light dwelling in the Light; and though they dwell in the Light, there's no darkness that hides any thing from them, even from a place of the Light into faraway darkness below.

Daniel saw things from light-years apart in his vision by night. His natural eye sight couldn't have seen things by night without light, but his vision saw by night with or without light.

Yes, it's “Daniel's vision,” but “God's Revelation.” It was not “A vision” came to Daniel, but “My vision” (Daniel's vision). Daniel was seeing in his vision.

(Daniel 7:2 - LBP) - "Daniel spoke and said, I saw in my vision by night, and behold, the four winds of heaven stirred up the great sea."

(Daniel 7:2 - MKJV) - "Daniel spoke and said, In my vision by night I was looking: and behold, the four winds of the heavens were stirring up the Great Sea."

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

Importantly, Daniel was seeing or looking in his vision by night: that was what Daniel did or was doing — he was looking or seeing as a watchman do. Some other people have vision but are not seeing, watching or looking in or through their vision. Nevertheless, sometimes you may wisely choose not to continue looking or seeing, to turn away from an evil mental vision or dream, hallucination or hologram, being manipulated into immorality or idolatry, that takes advantage of your body and soul by your participation or playing along.

Having seen and willing to learn what Daniel did in his vision, let's also see and learn the events and things that happened in Daniel's vision:

The Four Winds of heaven came upon the great sea of the earth, stirring the great sea (until the four beasts were driven or cast from the sea into the earth). The four winds of heaven were causing intense pressure on the great sea, that will later lead to forcing the four of the beasts out of the sea.

So, let's call the disturbance of the great sea, “The Great Tsunami,” caused by the Four Winds of heaven.

◇□—□◇ The entire 4 Winds of heaven were focused on the same spot, which was the great sea. The sea was the focal point of attention to all the 4 winds of heaven and earth. For this reason, the concept of cardinal Poles, North, South, East and West, were temporarily suspended: leaving just one direction, which was, from the sea to the earth.

◇□—□◇ The activities of the 4 winds of heaven upon the great sea resulted in a special or unique form of Tsunami that was not pushing flood or waves of water over the earth, but instead brought forth four kinds of beasts over the earth. Thus, the intent of the great Tsunami was not to dominate the world with the waters, but to dominate the world with the four beasts.

DWELLING AMONG FOOLISH AND STUPID PEOPLE

If you are a faithful minister of the Word of God, you may have come to know that major part of the cross you bear in the ministry is about the kind of people among whom you dwell and minister. A faithful minister who dwells and ministers among submissive and helpful people or household will surely find the works of the ministry a very light cross to bear. But a faithful minister who dwells and ministers among rebellious and unsupportive people or household will surely find the works of the ministry a heavy cross to bear. Same applies to a husband among his wife/family, or wife among her husband/family.

Major parts of the burdens a faithful minister of God suffers stem from the kind of people he dwells and ministers among. Sometimes, it's not that one minister does better than the other, but about one's ministers audience and congregation doing better than the other minister's audience and congregation in terms of support and submission. Paul the apostle was faithful in the various churches he raised in various places: and yet, he found some churches more supportive and more submissive than the others, though he was the same apostle over them. The Lord Jesus Christ said that the Queen of the South came all the way from a far distance to hear the wisdom of Solomon, but He the Lord of Wisdom greater than Solomon's was there but undermined by His people. Ten lepers got healed, but only one of the ten returned to glorify; the rest of the nine went their way.

Have you considered that some person that performed poorly as your priest, pastor, husband, wife, father or mother, to you, would have done or fared better if it was another person he/she had instead you? And that father, husband, leader, minister, wife, president, governor, country, church etc, that you wish was the one you belong to, would have done as poorly as the one you have now (if not worse) just because people like you are those he/she has to put up with?

In every level or unit of social organizations, the followers may feel their leaders are the problem and the leaders may also feel their followers are the problem: the former view the latter as incompetent, insensitive or insufficient, while the latter view the former as selfish, unsupportive, liability than asset, or parasites that take but don’t give.

The Lord Jesus Christ added the consideration of where the angel (Minister or messenger) of the church in Pergamos dwell, in His assessment of the angel:

[Revelation 2:12-13 LBP] — "And to the angel of the church in Per'gamos write: These things says He who has the sharp two-edged sword; I know your works and where you dwell even where Satan's seat is: And you uphold My Name, and you did not deny My Faith, even in those days when that witness of Mine appeared, that faithful one of Mine who was slain among you, where Satan dwells."

He also knew when He sent His disciples into the ministry that He was sending them as sheep to dwell among wolves: and he taught them to be wise as serpent and harmless as dove. So, the LORD does take account and consideration of the manner of people among whom His faithful ministers dwell and have to put up with:

(Ezekiel 12:2 - LG) - "“Son of man, you dwell in the midst of the iniquities of those who have eyes to see, and do not see; and have ears to hear, and do not hear; because they are a provoking house."

(Ezekiel 12:2 CGV) - "Son of man, you dwell in the midst of the rebellious house, that have eyes to see, and don't see, that have ears to hear, and don't hear; for they are a rebellious house."

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

Seeing is bigger than having eyes, and hearing is bigger than having ears: rebellion is as witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry [1 Samuel 15:23]. Rebellion is therefore worse than blindness or deafness.

*1* The blind people do not have the eyes to see, and so they cannot see;

*2* The deaf people do not have the ears to hear, and so they cannot hear;

*3* The rebellious people actually have the eyes to see and the ears to hear, but still they neither see nor hear - not for lack of ability to see or hear, but for lack of willingness to see or hear. Their rebellion is therefore like an idolatry, and they are like a man-made (idols) that have eyes but do not see, and have ears but do not hear. As it is written,

[Jeremiah 5:21 FBV] — Listen to this, you foolish, stupid people, who have eyes but don't see, who have ears but don't hear.

BEGIN TO SEE AND TO WRITE THE VISIONS

There was a time I resolved to be writing down significant events, dreams, inspirations and revelations I receive, immediately I receive them; noting them in writing under the dates I receive them in a free Diary I was given. I began doing this for a few days, and for my lack of discipline or motivation to retain on that, I failed to continue along.

If I had continued that, I would have stored or saved many events, dreams, insights, rhema, ideas, and revelations, under their various dates and times they came/occurred to me.

One night, Daniel was sleeping on his bed in Babylon, and behold a dream and vision came to his head on the pillow of his bed. Daniel quickly wrote down the dream he had and noted the date as the first year of the reign of Belshazzar, king of Babylon — That was the date.

Behold, this dream that Daniel had and wrote down is not forgotten, for through writing and sharing the Dream(s) and Vision(s), they have become unforgettable as scriptures and we are now building by them.

(Daniel 7:1 - AKJV) - "In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his head on his bed: then he wrote the dream, and told the sum of the matters."

(Daniel 7:1 - BSB) - "In the first year of the reign of Belshazzar over Babylon, Daniel had a dream, and visions passed through his mind as he lay on his bed. He wrote down the dream, and this is the summary of his account."

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

The first year of Belshazzar as king of Babylon brought a gift or new normal to Daniel, and so did the last year or last night of Belshazzar as king brought a reward or new positioning to Daniel.

♤1♤ - The Gift or New Normal to Daniel from Belshazzar first year in office of the king of Babylon — Daniel began to have his own dreams, revelations, visions, prophecies or messages. Prior to this time, Daniel only had the gifts of interpretation or understanding other people's dreams, tongues, mysteries, or other people's visions. Others will receive dreams or visions, and Daniel will interpret, understand or translate the Mind and Meaning of God to them through what they had seen. But from the first year of Belshazzar, Babylon's king, Daniel began having dreams, visions, revelations and prophecies, like other major prophets e.g. Ezekiel, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Enoch etc. whose words of prophecies cut throughout the entire ages to the end-times and last days.

♤2♤ - The Reward or New Positioning to Daniel from Belshazzar last year in office of the king of Babylon — Daniel was never again lesser than the third highest ruler in the kingdoms of Belshazzar and of Darius, except Lions den's.

So, the Bible verse in Red shows the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon as the Date for the first time or the first of this new normal, to Daniel. Recall that Ezekiel also began like Daniel in Babylon, but before Daniel began, considering the dates both of them received their first major vision/revelation: The Book of Daniel chronologically, was supposed to begin before the Book of Ezekiel, but in the reception of their first major direct message revelations, visions, prophecies of their own from God, Ezekiel came first before Daniel. Daniel's date here is “Babylon’s king Belshazzar's first year;” but Ezekiel’s is:

[Ezekiel 1:1-3 LBP] — "NOW it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, on the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the river Chebar, that the heavens were opened and I saw visions of God. On the fifth day of the month, in the fifth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, The word of the LORD carne to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and the hand of the LORD was there upon me."

I related Daniel with Ezekiel here because they were the two major prophets who began their prophecies in Babylon or in the land of the Chaldeans, while in exile or captivity at Babylon. Some had said, how can we sing the Lord's song in a strange land (referring to Babylon) as strange land to the captives of Zion, but men of God like Ezekiel and Daniel received revelations of God and of the heavens and of the ends of the world, from the land people called strange land as captives, just as John the beloved received the revelations from the island of Patmos as a captive there for the testimony of Jesus Christ.

These men, and others worthy of mentioning, both received the visions and wrote them down as Daniel did in the top Bible verse in Red: He was more committed to writing the visions down first before telling it to anyone, or maybe he wrote them to tell them from a reading standpoint. This writing and reading of Daniel's vision came before writing and reading of the handwriting on the wall, all in the days of Belshazzar king of Babylon. Therefore: —

[Habakkuk 2:2-4 MKJV] — "And the LORD answered me and said, Write the vision, and make it plain on the tablets, that he who reads it may run. For the vision is still for an appointed time, but it speaks to the end, and it does not lie. Though it lingers, wait for it; because it will surely come. It will not tarry. Behold, the soul of him is lifted up, and is not upright; but the just shall live by his faith."

THE WORD COMES

The Word of God comes to men and speak to them, and men on the other hand go to where they hear the Word of God. Some preachers, during evangelism, will bring the message of the Word of God to men and still direct the men (in a follow up advice) to attend or go to (what they call terms as) a “Bible Believing Church” to hear the Word of God in scripture.

Which one is a Bible Believing Church? Is there a church that is not Bible Believing Church? If there are such things but are uncommon, how are the men supposed to know the Bible Believing Church from the Non-Bible-Believing Church?

If you brought the Word of God to them where they are in the streets, why do they have to leave the streets where the Word came to them to keep going to a church to continue hearing the Word of God they first heard on the street or outside the church?

Don't localize or situate the Word of God only to be heard or speak inside a church building, from a pulpit or by a certain senior pastor. The Word of God is not bound or is not in prison: Don't make going to church be like prison visitation, in which the prisoner is the Word of God confined within a prison called “Bible Believing Church:” and men are encouraged to go there to hear the Word of God or unless to go to the church they will not hear the Word of God. Rather, let the Word go into the world. Yes, let the Word come to the people more than the people come to a Bible Believing Church. The Word of God is not only heard or found speaking in a church building/gathering, but meant to be found speaking everywhere and in everything.

(Ezekiel 12:1 - LG) - "And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,"

(Ezekiel 12:1 BSB) - Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

♡1♤ — Faith comes by hearing,

♡2♤ — Hearing comes by the Word of God speaking,

♡3♤ — Hearing does not come by the Word of God that is silent or quiet, but comes by the Word of God speaking or saying. There must a saying for there to be a hearing that begets faith.

The Word of God usually comes twice for each matter or statement:

—A— The Word comes, Saying: —

—B— The Word comes, To Pass: —

When the Word of God comes saying, the Word is God's declaration, Commandment, Prophecy, Promise or Message. But when the Word comes to pass, the saying of the Word is finished, completed, fulfilled or performed (obeyed/prospered).

Hearers of the Word of God are in Class A, but Doers of the Word of God are in class B — Blessed Class.

Nevertheless, hearing attentive to hear what the Word of God is truly saying is the foundation of doing the Word rightly and wisely.

DANIEL PROSPERED IN KINGDOMS’ PROSPERITY

After those temptation and persecution that brought Daniel into the Lions den, Daniel continued to prosper during the reign of Darius and Cyrus. There was no more major challenges that could arise against him. Satan lost in all angle what to use against Daniel: even moments before the lions den event, those Satan was using could not find any fault or folly against Daniel because he was upright and had excellent spirit (wisdom); and then tried the use of law against his relationship with God, and here the highest man (the king, Darius) has decree all nations should fear, tremble and bow before the God of Daniel.

So, the Accusers, the Adversaries and the Enemies of Daniel, simply had nothing again they can do or use against him. They could not use women, for he was a eunuch or celibate; they couldn't use corruption, for he's incorruptible; they couldn't use Accusers, for all his accusers perished; they couldn't use folly or negligence, for excellent spirit was in him; they couldn't use the law or the king, for the king would fast or lose sleep for Daniel… If you know any means or method Satan could have explore against Daniel at this stage, please share it, for I see no more the devils can do to Daniel or about him. It's like after the temptation of Job, Satan lost everything he had against Job, and had nothing else potent against Job for the rest of the many years Job lived afterwards.

Such is the case of men who overcame Satan and totally defeated the devil, while still having decades of years yet to still live on the earth. The rest of their living on earth is just living in prosperity, no more troubles or problems. They've passed the points of problems, and they are just swimming in prosperity without problems forever on earth.

(Daniel 6:28 - BSB) — "So Daniel prospered during the reign of Darius and the reign of Cyrus the Persian."

(Daniel 6:28 - Logos) — "And Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian."

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

You may recall that if Daniel had written the chapters in book of Daniel chronologically, this Bible verse in Red would have been the very last verse or sentence in the book of Daniel. Well, as the book of Daniel is presented, this Bible verse is the last of the first six chapters that covers the stories or history of Daniel's journey: the next six chapters after this are part that contains Daniel's Prophecies, visions, and revelations is eschatology and end-times pertaining the Kingdoms to come until the kingdom of God finally takes over with the Lord Jesus Christ Himself as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

In the bible verse in Red, the rest of the story of Daniel's life and walk on earth was revealed to us, saying, “Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian." As it is written,

[Job 36:11 Logos] — "If they should hear and serve Him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in honor."

This is true prosperity that came after judgment, not before judgment, to Daniel. Daniel had faced his judgment, innocency was found him, and for reason, Salvation (deliverance) of God came to him and the things that accompanied Salvation, including prosperity and honor, goodness and mercy, followed Daniel all the days of his life.

Daniel spent rest of his days in prosperity, across kingdoms and king of kings: from the reign of the first king of kings (Nebuchadnezzar), through the reign of Cyrus and Darius (other king of kings), and in the endless days of the Final King of Kings, the Lord Jesus Christ, Daniel prospered — from the beginning to the end and endless of the Reigns.

GOD'S SALVATION, DELIVERANCE, SIGNS AND WONDERS

Miracles, signs and wonders, of God necessary and helpful: they are part of the Grace and Gifts of God to and through the People of God. They are not supposed to be scarce or lacking among the supernatural and the spiritual family of God in heaven and earth. The Lord Jesus Christ Himself said these signs shall follow them that believe in His name; and the disciple who believes on Him shall shall do the works He did, and even greater works these, because He's gone to the Father.

However I say, the miracles, signs and wonders, of God do always happen to us and through us, even when we are ignorant of them. Some are signs and wonders in heaven, and some signs wonders on earth. The people of God are not suffering lack of miracles, signs or wonders; instead the people of God are suffering lack of knowledge. Why it seems there're more wonders, technologies, more solutions, innovations and advancements in creativity, is more about increasing knowledge than it's about increasing the supernatural interventions.

The LORD God has always been working signs and wonders in all ages, but He is now increasing Knowledge of Him and of them.

(Daniel 6:27 - BSB) — "He delivers and rescues; He performs signs and wonders in the heavens and on the earth, for He has rescued Daniel from the power of the lions.”"

(Daniel 6:27 - MKJV) — "He delivers and rescues, and He works signs and wonders in the heavens and in earth, He who has delivered Daniel from the power of the lions."

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

Not all signs and wonders on earth are signs or wonders in heaven. Many things celebrated as miracles, signs and wonders, on earth among men, do not impress even the least of those in heaven.

Unfortunately, many of the churches on earth are seeking after such miracles, signs and wonders, that are celebrated on earth but are counted as vanities in the heavens. Example of such miracles, but not all, is “Prosperity on earth that does not reflect Prosperity in heaven:” being very rich and powerful on earthly material things, but poor and miserable in heavenly and eternal things.

In the main Bible verse in Red, Darius concluded his last words in the book of Daniel by saying:

God delivers and rescues or helps: and He works signs and wonders in the heavens and in earth, He who has delivered Daniel from the power of the lions.

Darius linked God's deliverance and salvation with God's signs and wonders both in the heavens and in the earth; the very last sentence of his last statement thus was “God is He who has delivered Daniel from the power of the lions.”

Thus, God's deliverance of Daniel from the power of the lions — is an example of salvation and deliverance miracle that is also signs and wonders in both heaven and on earth. I earlier told you example of miracles that are signs and wonders on earth, but vanities or nothing in heaven: now from the main Bible verse in Red, I am telling you that the miracles of deliverance/salvation from death into life away are signs and wonders celebrated both on earth and in the heavens among angels as a great wonders or amazement. There's joy in heaven over one sinner that repents and dead delivered/brought back to life.

In Revelation 12, some similarities of the wonders of deliverance of Daniel from the mouth or power of the lions were seen in the wonders of the deliverance of the Kingdom's Man-Child born of the Woman but delivered from the mouth or power of the great red Dragon. That was great sign and wonder both in the heavens and on earth.

The Lord Jesus taught His disciples to not rejoice in the miracles of spirits or demons being subject to them in His name, but rather to rejoice in the miracles of their names written in heaven. You will know miracles, signs and wonders, on earth that are vanities in heaven by the fact that the gains of those miracles, signs or wonders on earth, do not add any value or become anything in heaven. They only become signs or wonders worth celebrating in heaven if they increase the number of any valuable thing in heaven or in eternity.

THE KING'S COMMAND IS TO FEAR GOD AND TREMBLE

King Darius, a then King of Kings and ruler of one of the greatest empires of the ancient world, made a decree and profound declaration to all men/nations, saying:

“I issue a decree that in every part of my kingdom people must fear and reverence the God of Daniel. For He is the living God and He endures forever; His kingdom will not be destroyed, His dominion will never end.”

This proclamation is more than the words of a mortal king—it's an acknowledgment of God's eternal authority over all earthly kingdoms. Though Darius ruled an empire, he recognized that there was a greater King, whose dominion surpasses any earthly throne. This dominion of God, as Darius rightly proclaimed, is not limited by time or space. His kingdom will not be destroyed; His dominion will never end.

Though the eternal Kingdom of God is coming, His dominion—His rule, His sovereignty — has never been absent and so His does not need to come because His dominion has always been in all realms of realities. From generation to generation, God's Will has been sovereignly carried out among the nations, even within the kingdoms of men, whether or not they acknowledge Him. When we pray the Will of God be done on earth as it is in heaven, we are requesting for “The Method or the How the Will should be done to be as it is done in Heaven.” The way the Will of God is done in hell is different from the way the Will of God is done in heaven; but in whatever or wherever it is, the Will of God is ultimately done. However, it's victory or joyful when the Will of God is done on earth or anywhere in same manner it is done in heaven and by the heavens, for that expands or spreads way of heaven and of the kingdom of heaven to come where the method is.

(Daniel 6:26 - BSB) — "I hereby decree that in every part of my kingdom, men are to tremble in fear before the God of Daniel: For He is the living God, and He endures forever; His kingdom will never be destroyed, and His dominion will never end."

(Daniel 6:26 - Logos) — "This decree has been set forth by me in every dominion of my kingdom, that men must tremble and fear before the God of Daniel; for He is the living and eternal God, and His kingdom shall not be destroyed, and His dominion is forever."

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

This I would further process in four fragments:

♤1♤ — The Decree of the King of Kings to his empire, commanding all men to fear and tremble before the God of Daniel.

♤2♤ — Expansion of “Tremble and Fear” before God.

♤3♤ — Application of “Live Forever” to God as a testimony, not as a wish, charge or prayer.

♤4♤ — The eternallity of the Kingdom and Dominion of God.

This general epistle, came from a king of kings, Darius, who himself knew and received all these things he herein commanded all men who give these things to him to give them to the God of Daniel. Let's see:

♤1♤ —
The King who commanded fear and trembling before him decreed fear and trembling before the God of Daniel. The law against prayers the king earlier decreed made only the king the one all men was to petition or pray to for month period. Behold, this was changed.

The God of Daniel, to whom Daniel continued to pray in disregard to the law and in fearing his God above fearing the king, is now the only God and the only exception to receive the glories, fear, trembling and reverence, due to the highest king and beyond the highest king. Daniel gave up his life and flesh to risk and danger to fear and tremble before God when it was against the King's Decree to do so: and behold, because Daniel did and his God delivered Daniel from the king's wrath, the king has changed his law and now made “Fearing and Trembling before the God of Daniel” both necessary and compulsory.

Are you still saying/singing, “My God delivered Daniel?” Was it the God of you (your name) that the whole world was mandated to fear and tremble at? Would you take credit in God over Daniel's faith and triumph and relationship with God? I wrote to some of you to see how Joseph, in talking to his brethren, still refers to their father as “my father” instead of “our father,” yes, while talking to his eleven brothers. Joseph was not sharing “our father” (Jacob) with them, and I showed that also in how the Lord Jesus Christ Himself did nor use “Our Father” or “Our God” in conversation with even His disciples in referring to God in heaven as one God and Father over them. He was always maintaining the dichotomy with using “My Father” and “Your Father” in heaven instead of just saying “Our Father,” or using My God and your God, instead of using “Our God.” The only time He used “Our Father in heaven” He was teaching them how to pray, not how He Himself would pray or call Him in heaven. He told Mary to tell His Brothers (He's not ashamed to called them brothers, but not to use “Our Father” in reference to the same Father He shared with them), saying, “I ascend to My Father and your Father, to My God and your God.”

I Peterch, will usually call God our father with you and anyone of my brethren. But the moment I hear you refer to any pastor, priest, bishop or prophet, or elder, or man of God, or any man etc, as your father in the Lord or your spiritual father, then I stop using “our God” or “our Father” in relation with you, and will have to separate myself from you in the Fatherhood or Godhood of God, because your Father in the Lord or your Spiritual father, is different from mine.

It's not ‘My God delivered Daniel,’ but Daniel's God delivered Daniel

Even so, the God of Shadrach, Meshach & Abednego, delivered them:

[Daniel 3:28-29 Logos] — "And King Nebuchadnezzar answered and said, “Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, who has sent His angel, and delivered His servants, because they trusted in Him; and they have changed the king's word, and delivered their bodies to be burned, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God. Therefore I publish a decree: Every people, tribe, or language that shall speak reproachfully against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego shall be destroyed, and their houses shall be plundered, because there is no other God who shall be able to deliver thus.”"

♤2♤ —
Expansion of “Tremble and Fear” before God.

A brother of Joseph and Judah, called “Levi” was ordained a priest even before Moses and Aaron his grand/greatgrand children were born. Levi “fear and trembled” before God even after God made covenant Levi alone as in (priesthood covenant). This is not captured in Genesis, but captured in Malachi. As it is written,

[Malachi 2:4-8] — "Then you will know that I have sent you this commandment so that My covenant with Levi may continue,” says the LORD of Hosts. “My covenant with him was one of life and peace, which I gave to him; it called for fear, and he feared Me and trembled before My name. True instruction was in his mouth, and nothing false was found on his lips. He walked with Me in peace and uprightness, and he turned many from iniquity. For the lips of a priest should preserve knowledge, and people should seek instruction from his mouth, because he is the messenger of the LORD of Hosts. But you have departed from the way, and your instruction has caused many to stumble. You have violated the covenant of Levi,” says the LORD of Hosts."

As a priest, Levi preserved the covenant between him and the LORD with fear and trembling and uprightness in walking with the LORD. And as a wise man, Elihu feared and trembled before the LORD:

[Job 37:24] — "Therefore men shall fear Him, and all that are wise in heart shall tremble before Him."

[Philippians 2:12] — "Therefore, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not only in my presence, but now even more in my absence, continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling."

♤3♤ —
Application of “Live Forever” to God as a testimony, not as a wish, charge or prayer. When Daniel said to the king, o king live forever, Daniel was wishing or saluting the king. But here the same king testifies that the God of Daniel is the Living God, He lives forever.

The true King of Kings, the Jesus Christ and God the Father and Holy Spirit, Live Forever. We don't say it to them as a wish or salutation, but say it as a testimony or witness. To those kings or mortals, it was said as prayer, charge or wish; but to the LORD God, it is said as an attribute, reality or testimony of the truth. Infact, the LORD Himself loves to tell Himself and to tell everyone that “He lives forever” as who He is:

[Deuteronomy 32:40] — "For I will lift up My hand to heaven, and swear by My right hand, and I will say, “I live forever.”"

[Revelation 1:18] — "I am He who lives, and was dead; and, behold, I live for evermore. Amen; and I have the keys of death and of hell."

♤4♤ —
The eternallity of the Kingdom and Dominion of God.

The life of a king is unified with the king's kingdom and dominion. Wishing a king to live forever is wishing his kingdom to live forever. The duration of a king's life is the duration of his kingdom and dominion.

Therefore, because God lives forever, His Kingdom and Dominion live forever also. Entering the Kingdom of God is the same as entering eternal life.

EPISTLE OF DARIUS

[Revelation 1:19 BSB] — "Therefore write down the things you have seen, and the things that are, and the things that will happen after this."

Don't feel too big to write what you seen concerning the things that are and the things to come, in the revelation of the Lord. Prophets, Priests, Presidents, Rulers, and Kings, have both read and written the Testimony and Epistles of the Lord to all. Those who write His rhema and testimony are not jobless or not too busy, lest you take yourself to be more responsible or more important than they are.

Behold, King of Kings also wrote the message of God and sent it in writing to all nations, peoples, languages and tongues: yets, king of kings had evangelize the world for the Name of the Lord, making writings and decrees, including Darius and Nebuchadnezzar.

(Daniel 6:25 - LBP) — "Then King Darius wrote to all the peoples, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth, Peace be multiplied to you."

(Daniel 6:25 - Web) — "Then king Darius wrote to all the peoples, nations, and languages, who dwell in all the earth: Peace be multiplied to you."

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

This is basically an opening to an "Epistle" and qualifies as "General Epistle" though it was from Darius the king of kings then, and hereby written to us (Christians) through Daniel the prophet.

*1* "Epistle" means special letter written and ministered as *Open Letter* but more importantly as the Oracle (Utterance) of the Spirit of God. This is because without the Spirit of God, Epistles would be mere Letters, and the Letter kills but the Spirit gives life. So, when a written letter contains and transmits the Spirit and Life, it is an Epistle.

*2* "General Epistle" means the epistle cuts across racial, national, tribal, ethnic, geographic and timeline boundaries to all. As you saw in the Bible verse in red, Darius the king was addressing all tribes, nations, languages, peoples, cultures, in all the earth: thus, it's a General Epistle, not a private epistle.


*3* "Greetings or Peace or Gospel - Beginning of Epistles after Address." In the top Bible verse above, Darius, after establishing the epistle to be "General Epistle" and not sectarian, by the protocol of people/persons he named/tagged in the address before his main speech, he began his Epistle by "Greetings or Peace be multiplied to you."

No matter the pressure or urgency of the written Epistles, they usually begin with either joyful news, greetings, gracias, blessings or peace to the readers/hears. The Book of Revelation practically pronounced "Blessing to the readers of the Book and more to the doers." Behold, Darius as the king of the world then, greets you and decreed multiplication of peace to you, if you are his audience and reader of this epistle in Daniel 6.

YOU MUST TURN HIS REVELATION TO YOU INTO A TESTIMONY TO ALL

[1 John 1:1-4 BSB] — "That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our own eyes, which we have gazed upon and touched with our own hands— this is the Word of life. And this is the life that was revealed; we have seen it and testified to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life that was with the Father and was revealed to us. We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us..."

Usually, the Lord would reveal Himself and Glory to few witnesses, and after they have seen the things He revealed, He will command the witnesses to go preach and tell the whole world the things they have both seen and heard. He usually do not show the whole world visions or revelations directly unless He shows them to those He appointed as witnesses, who will also be faithful to share the things revealed to them with the whole world in preaching or testimony. Peter said it so:

[Acts 10:40-43] — "God raised Him up on the third day and caused Him to be seen— not by all the people, but by the witnesses God had chosen beforehand, by us who ate and drank with Him after He rose from the dead. And He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that He is the One appointed by God to judge the living and the dead. All the prophets testify about Him that everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins through His name.”"

(Ezekiel 11:25 - LBP) - "Then I spoke to those of the captivity all the things that the LORD had shown me.""

(Ezekiel 11:25 - BSB) - "I told the exiles everything the LORD had shown me."

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

[Matthew 10:27 LBP] — "What I tell you in the dark, tell it in the daylight; and what you hear with your ears, preach on the house tops."

BREAKING BONES OF FALSE ACCUSERS, FALSE WITNESS

[Luke 6:36-37 BSB] — "Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful. Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven."

Again, “Caught in the very act” against the law is still not enough to accuse or condemn a man. Caught in the act only makes the man a suspect, not a confirmation either positive or negative. Positive or negative as in both caught in the good acts and caught in the evil acts.

*1 Some people may be caught in act of doing good or doing religious things, and you may conclude they are truly pleasing God, but beyond the acts you caught them doing — they are hypocrite or false.

*2 Some people may be caught in act of doing evil or breaking the law, and you may conclude they are sinners and must be killed, but beyond the acts you caught them doing — they are forgiven or free.

If a man/woman will open mouth and accuse someone of something: let's say accused the person of stealing a phone, and if it is true the accused is guilty as charged or stole the phone, and if it's a country where they pour petrol on a thief and set him ablaze to death, then the thief is in for it.

But if it is false accusation, and the alleged thief did not steal the phone, and somehow the phone was found with the man/woman accusing the alleged thief, the people would usually ask the false Accuser to apologize for accusing the alleged thief. No, that's not how to do it. Apologizing for false accusation, fake alarm or false slander is not enough: instead, the scriptures say the man/woman who falsely accused the alleged thief becomes the thief by that false accusation, and therefore petrol must be poured on that man/woman and he/she must be set ablaze to death for saying or claiming another person stole a phone but the person was innocent of the charge. It's not just apology.

[Deuteronomy 19:15-21 BSB] — "A lone witness is not sufficient to establish any wrongdoing or sin against a man, regardless of what offense he may have committed. A matter must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses. If a false witness testifies against someone, accusing him of a crime, both parties to the dispute must stand in the presence of the LORD, before the priests and judges who are in office at that time. The judges shall investigate thoroughly, and if the witness is proven to be a liar who has falsely accused his brother, you must do to him as he intended to do to his brother. So you must purge the evil from among you. Then the rest of the people will hear and be afraid, and they will never again do anything so evil among you. You must show no pity: life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, and foot for foot."

Know these: — No Man is above the Law, but also no Law is above Righteousness. The way the Law is greater than the people, so also Righteousness is greater than the Law. If both the people and the Law condemned a man in whom is found righteousness or innocency; the people and the Law by condemning the Righteous have condemned themselves. So, that law gets abolished or nullified and those people who used the law to condemn the righteous or faultless is condemned.

Therefore, because Innocency was found in Daniel, and those Lions did not harm the righteous, the men who accused of Daniel were more of monsters than the Lions were as beasts: The men were not afraid to harm and condemn the righteous man in whom innocency was found, but the lions did not harm the righteous or innocent. Therefore:

(Daniel 6:24 - LBP) — "And the king commanded, and they brought those men who had accused Daniel, and they cast them into the den of lions, they, their wives, and their children; and before they reached the bottom of the den, the lions pounced upon them and broke all their bones in pieces."

(Daniel 6:24 - BSB) — "At the command of the king, the men who had falsely accused Daniel were brought and thrown into the den of lions— they and their children and wives. And before they had reached the bottom of the den, the lions overpowered them and crushed all their bones."

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

One of the ten commandments says, you shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. The descendants of the Accusers of Daniel are no longer in this world because their seed or entire family were wiped off the surface of the earth. Before they could even reach the bottom of the den, or before they could even close the den with the tomb stone, the lions had met them on their way down, and broke all the bones in their body into pieces.

If the lions den was a condemnation that proves guiltiness or sinfulness of a man by breaking of bones in the man's body: Then,

*1* — Daniel was righteous because none of his bones was broken. As it is written,

[Psalms 34:19-22 BSB] — "Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD delivers him from them all. He protects all his bones; not one of them will be broken. Evil will slay the wicked, and the haters of the righteous will be condemned. The LORD redeems His servants, and none who take refuge in Him will be condemned."

*2* — The Children of the Accusers of Daniel were not innocent, neither were their wives nor they themselves. It was not as if their children were innocent or faultless, even as children: none escaped the bone breaking and crushing of the lions.

Not that the lions broke one or few of their bones, but that the lions broke all their bones leaving none of them to go without the crushing brokenness of bones. I didn't know lions as bone lovers as dogs, to be crushing bones instead of eating the flesh meat and ignoring the bones. The Lions were as if they were not just killing them for food (flesh) or as if they were not satisfied with killing and eating them, but also determined to crush every single one of their bones before they get to the bottom of the den.

Though the man of God from Judah was killed by the lion, the Lion was shocked and afraid it had harmed a Man of God. The Lion could not harm his dead body anymore, could not break his bones, could not harm the donkey he rode, and the Lion and donkey could not run or leave there. They were frozen there, waiting for the old prophet to come because no man would dare take the young man of God they were protecting except the old prophet who must honor him in burial. And old prophet made his will, that they should bury him beside the bones of the man of God, for every single word of the man of God shall surely be fulfilled concerning the dry bones of the pagan priests.

Therefore, Josiah the king years later, coming from Judah where the young man of God from Judah earlier came from, coming also from Judah to fulfill the words of the Young man of God from Judah in Samaria. These included exhuming the already buried bones of those priests, and crushing their dry Bones with burning fire on that altar.

Not all dry bones had a privilege of “Dry bones shall rise again:” It depended on the LORD sent Ezekiel or sent Josiah to the dry Bones.

Sending Ezekiel to the dry Bones restored the brokenness of the dry Bones and the dry Bones rose again.

But sending Josiah after the young man of God, both from Judah to the dry Bones, made the dry Bones to be further broken into more pieces and burnt with fire to ashes.

The lions in the lions then were particularly zealous with crushing every bone in those group of families of accusers of Daniel. Not one of their bone escaped breaking.

The blood of the Passover Lamb was pure enough, not just because it was the blood of the Lamb shed and sprinkled on the door posts against the death of the firstborns, but also because not one of its bones was broken. Behold the purity of the blood of the Passover Lamb: It was a Lamb meaning it was a “Virgin” or never had sexual intercourse with its kind, and two none of its bones were broken when it's killed, making the Lamb's blood pure and good enough [Ex 12:46]

**SEPARATIONS AND VISIONS**

I am trying to describe that feeling that comes when you are getting separated from someone you never want to be separated from, especially not at the moment. The pain of such separation can sometimes feel like heartbreak. Where it's even more painful is when you had longed for so long to be that close with the person, and then, when the opportunity of being with the person comes, the separation would not even allow you to enjoy it. In that case, missing the person begins as soon as you notice the separation coming between you and the person. It's painful.

It's also the pain or heartache that the heavens unavoidably inflict on those who love being with one of their own on earth whenever the heavens take that one away from the earth into Heaven. The way a hen feels heartbroken when a flying hawk takes away her chick, so do the family and friends on earth feel heartbroken when the heavens take or call home one of their own from the earth.

I pray a day will come and never end, in which neither heaven nor earth can separate the loved and bonded ones from themselves, even for rapture’s sake. The time when neither heaven nor earth can separate us from the loved ones is yet to come, but the time when they cannot separate the love between us is already here and has been.

[Rom 8:38-39 BSB] — "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor principalities, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

Thank God that nothing can separate us from the love of God, but my challenge is that there are things that separate us from God but not from His Love. Hence, the heartache or pain in the separation is more because what is separating the two persons is not separating the love between them. It is the inseparable love between the separated persons that makes the separation even more terrible. Imagine breaking up with a person you still have deep feelings for, and later realizing the breakup was terrible because the feelings and longing for the person are still very much there. It's heartache.

The fact that nothing can separate us from the Love of God in Christ Jesus, but yet things can and do separate us from God or Christ in the physical manifestation, means such heartache will remain until we come to the point where nothing can separate us from the Lord both in manifest form and from His Love as well. I say it this way because we are never separated from God, for God is everywhere, and moreover, He dwells in us in the Spirit or as the Spirit of God. But I am talking about His Manifest Presence or Him in the Flesh.

♧1♧ — Sorrow filled the heart of the Lord's disciples when He told them that He would be gone from them, but would send the Holy Spirit to remain with them forever. It was a separation, not of death, but felt like it because it was a separation all the same.

♧2♧ — Elisha felt the same when Elijah was taken from him by the heavens, though he received the spirit of Elijah on him as consolation.

♧3♧ — Ezekiel too felt the same when the Manifest LORD of Glory with Rabim Cherubim, with whom he had been for a while, had to leave or be separated from him. The Spirit of God took him back to the people in captivity, and the vision or ability to see was gone from him.

(Ezekiel 11:24 - LBP) - "Then the Spirit lifted me up, and brought me in a vision by the Spirit of God into the land of Chaldea to those of the captivity. So the vision that I had seen departed from me."

(Ezekiel 11:24 - BSB) - "And the Spirit lifted me up and carried me back to Chaldea, to the exiles in the vision given by the Spirit of God. After the vision had gone up from me,"

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

In this main Bible verse in red, two distinct visions are contemplated:

●1■ - The second was the vision that was gone/departed from Ezekiel due to the separation between him and the manifest LORD of Glory, who had gone to the Mountain of the East of Jerusalem, Mount Olives. This time, however, the Spirit of God did not carry Ezekiel to follow the manifest LORD of Glory to Mount Olives where He ascended into heaven. So, Ezekiel lost his vision or lost the ability to see God in glory literally.

●2■ - The first was the vision that took over, even that vision by the Spirit of God, who also brought him back to Babylonia among the people in captivity, by the flight of the Spirit of the LORD.

The second vision that was gone from him enabled him to see through the Glory of God, but the first vision enabled him to see through the Spirit of God. I want you to learn this difference: seeing through the manifest Glory of God is different from seeing through the unmanifest Spirit of God. So, he lost one vision and began seeing through another.

To illustrate this further, let's use Paul's loss of sight:

On the road to Damascus from Jerusalem, the Glory of God appeared to Paul (Saul by then) from heaven, and the Glory of God introduced Himself as Jesus, whom Saul was persecuting. Those men with Paul when it happened did not see any glory or sight, but felt some fear that made them hide. The reason Saul could see the vision—the glory or brightness of God greater than the sun—but the other men did not see these things with their natural eyes was because Paul was given the second vision I mentioned from the Bible verse in red that Ezekiel had, which was “seeing by the Glory of God.”

That vision took over Paul's natural eyesight so that Paul could see the Lord of Glory physically but not naturally. Physical and natural are not the same in my teaching: there are physical, natural, and spiritual. There are spiritual things that are also physical, but not natural. In my teachings, physical simply means manifest or visible.

After Paul's eyes were upgraded to seeing the manifest or physical Glory of God or God of Glory, the vision was gone from him, and it took away Paul's physical or natural eyesight along with it because the light struck his eyes blind. But as soon as Paul was blind and the second vision was gone from him, he adjusted to seeing through the first vision (seeing by the Spirit of God).

So even when Paul was blind with both eyes physically, he was still seeing visions, but through the Spirit. Paul saw another vision after the first, even as a blind man. The second vision Paul saw by the Spirit of God was the vision of a man called Ananias coming to lay hands on him, and his sight was restored. Paul, as a blind man, saw these things in a vision before they happened, exactly as he had already seen they would, the night before the day they happened. A blind man saw the vision of his receiving sight and the man to come before the man himself, who had sight, ever knew about these things or had it in mind.

Thus, the vision by the Spirit came faster to Paul, who was blind, than it came to Ananias. Before Ananias received the order or message in a vision, Paul had already received the prophecy or events in a vision earlier than a servant of God who had been in the faith longer before Paul was converted.

[Acts 9:10-12 Logos] — "Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus named Ananias, and the Lord said to him in a vision, "Ananias." And he said, "Behold I am here, Lord." And the Lord said to him, "Arise and go to Straight Street and seek out in the house of Judas a man named Saul of Tarsus, for behold, he is praying. And he has seen in a vision a man named Ananias come in and lay his hands on him, so that he might see again.""

Another example was an aged, blind prophet called Ahijah.

[1 Kings 14:4-6 BSB] — "Jeroboam’s wife did as instructed; she arose and went to Shiloh and arrived at Ahijah’s house. Now Ahijah could not see, for his eyes were dim because of his age. But the LORD had said to Ahijah, “Behold, the wife of Jeroboam is coming to ask you about her son, for he is ill. You are to say such and such to her, because when she arrives, she will be disguised.” So when Ahijah heard the sound of her feet entering the door, he said, “Come in, wife of Jeroboam! Why are you disguised? For I have been sent to you with bad news."

THE JOY THAT DELIVERS AND LIFTS UP A MAN

The Wrath of God is simply Anger of God that endures for a moment. There's no wrath of God that is capable of enduring forever, but eternal damnation or second death endures forever — Even that is not the wrath of God. Eternal destruction is not the wrath of God, for no wrath of God is eternal. Take this, the LORD God does not keep anger forever [Psalms 103:9]. So, like God, you should not let the sun go down on your wrath before you put off all anger, wrath or malice.

[Psalms 30:5] — "For His anger (wrath) endures but a moment; in his favor is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning."

The weeping sorrow, fasting, sleeplessness of King Darius for Daniel endured only for a night, but joy came in the morning to the king: and the king was overjoyed, exceedingly glad for Daniel in the morning.

(Daniel 6:23 - KJV) — "Then was the king exceedingly glad for him, and commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no manner of hurt was found on him, because he believed in his God."

(Daniel 6:23 - BSB) — "The king was overjoyed and gave orders to lift Daniel out of the den, and when Daniel was lifted out of the den, no wounds whatsoever were found on him, because he had trusted in his God."

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

In this Main Bible verse in Red, four distinct and significant things happened:

♡1♡ — The king was overjoyed and exceedingly glad because Daniel lived in the morning. This was like the joy and exceeding gladness that Mary Magdalene had in that greatest of all mornings, because the “Rabboni” lives, having risen from the dead. Joy (Gladness) is one of the things one is allowed to have in excess, overly, beyond measure, without need for moderation, temperance or discipline to regulate it.

♡2♡ — The king in exceeding joy, gave a joyful command or orders to lift up Daniel out of the den. Bringing Daniel out of the Lions’ Den was a form of exalting (lifting up) Daniel. Deliverance sometimes involves lifting up or exaltation from a dangerous lower levels to a life that is only available on a higher level. So, there are deliverances that also require God to exalt or lift up a man before God fulfills such deliverances. They are not as simple as just pulling a man back or out on the same level, but involves changing the man's level to a higher level to deliver or save the man. Some Bible references in which both deliverance and exaltation/lifting up the someone go/come together:

[Psalms 18:48 BSB] — "who delivers me from my enemies. You exalt me above my foes; You rescue me from violent men."

[Psalms 91:15] — "He shall call on Me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honor (exalt) him."

[Proverbs 15:24] — "The way of life leads upward and above to the wise, that he may depart from the levels hell beneath."

Yes, to be worthy of some deliverance is to be worthy of exaltation to some degrees. Make the King of Kings overjoyed for you and then the King's orders or command with make lifting you up and exalting you higher to be part of His Salvation and Deliverance Package to you.

♡3♡ — When Daniel returned to the surface of the earth after they lifted him up and out of the pit called lions den, a search was made on him for any mark of the lions in form of wounds, scars or injuries on his body, and they found none of these on he that dwelt with the lions. It's like leaving a tuber of yam among hungry goats all through the day, or cheese among hungry rats at night, or a beautiful virgin in a room full of men hungry for sex throughout the night, and not even a scratch or attempt was made on either the yam, cheese or the woman.

♡4♡ — The reason Daniel was harmless and no harm/hurt was found on him was because Daniel believed (trusted) on his God.

[Mark 16:17-18] — "And these signs shall follow them that believe; In My Name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt (harm) them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover."

Lions did not harm or hurt Daniel was a sign that Daniel believed in His God.

Now compare this with the preceding Bible Verse to the one in red:

◇ Daniel 6:22 — Explained that the reason Daniel was not harmed by the lions was because Innocency was found in Daniel before God.

◇ Daniel 6:23 — Explained that the reason Daniel was not harmed by the lions was because Daniel believed in his God.

Recall that even though we all have the same Spirit of faith, I believe and therefore have I spoken: Daniel's believing his God led him to innocency found in him and Holiness as the fruits of his faith in God.

Faith or believing in the Lord is not like how some people teach them, as if faith is some form of “Expectations and Positive Confessions or Declarations.” Faith is not just a mindset, mentality or positivity: rather Faith is a Fruit or Work as Evidence of believing/trusting God. The life you lived and the works you did are evidence of your faith. Some faith requires over 10 years of investing your life, time or works, to have such faith in the Lord. It's not about the size of your faith that is required, but about the trials of your faith required to convince and to earn such results. A faith as small as a mustard seed in size is enough, but the trial of the faith that small could be bigger in size than a tree size and requires years, months, weeks, days or hours, of trials to verify and authenticate that tiny faith, before that tiny faith makes impossibility possible. So, it does not always begin at that point when the miracle happened: As someone said, when you see a man or woman suddenly blows and is as celebrity performing wonder you should know you are seeing a result of perhaps many hard days or years of effort/struggle in obscurity. There's a process to the outcome.
