Revelation 7:
2. And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
3. Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
4. And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.
5. Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand.
6. Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nepthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand.
7. Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand.
8. Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.
9. After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
10. And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.
11. And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,
13. And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?
14. And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
15. Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.
16. They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.
17. For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.
Revelation 14:
1. And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.
2. And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:
3. And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.
4. These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.
5. And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.
6. And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,
7. Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
8. And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.
9. And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
10. The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
11. And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
12. Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
13. And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.
14. And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.
15. And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.
16. And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.
17. And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.
18. And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.
19. And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.
20. And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.
THE BLACK ARMY
May 7th, 1993
One night, while in Oregon, I dreamed the sky was getting dark. Then suddenly it turned pitch black! It was as if the whole world had gone dark at that moment! All the people were in a frenzy! They became disoriented, and some were even screaming. After some time, we heard the sound of an army approaching. Soon, we saw them coming out of the black mist. All were dressed in black, except one. That one seemed to be their leader. He was dressed in a red robe with a thick black belt over his waist. On his head, he had a sign. As I looked, I saw that in his hand he held the same kind of sharp spear as everyone else in his army.
"I am Lucifer!" he exclaimed. "I am the king of this world! I have come to make war against the Christians!"
It looked as though all the Christians were huddled together in one big group. Some began to cry when they heard this. Others began to tremble, while some just stood without saying anything. Lucifer continued to speak. "All of those that want to fight against my army and think they can be victorious; go to the right. Those that fear me; go to the left."
Only about a quarter of the group stepped to the right. All the others went to the left. Then Lucifer ordered his army, "Destroy those on the right!"
The army began to advance and quickly surrounded the Christians on the right. As they began to close in on us, a powerful light appeared and encircled us. Then, an angel of the Lord spoke. "Take out your swords and fight. Defend yourselves and be victorious over the enemy."
"What swords?" A man in the group asked.
"The Word of the Lord is your sword," the angel answered. When we understood what the angel meant, we began to quote verses from the Bible. Then suddenly, as if we were one voice, we began to sing a song. Our voices thundered so loudly, that the Dark army began to retreat in fear. They did not have the courage to come against us anymore.
Lucifer, then filled with rage, turned to those on the left. "You, who all of your life have been trying to please two masters, because you could not stand against me; I have the power to destroy you."
He then ordered his army to attack. It was a total massacre. The ones on the left could not defend themselves. One by one they all fell. This killing seemed to go on for a long time. After a while we could actually smell the stench of the dead.
"Why could they not be protected also?" someone asked.
The angel answered: "Because all their life they have been lukewarm. Because of their hypocrisy, the true church has been blasphemed. They have brought disrespect to the word of God. They were not clean."
As we continued to look, we saw the sun coming over the horizon. The black clouds began to break up. Then they disappeared. Only one was left - on which Lucifer and his army stood. Lucifer looked at me shaking his fists and said, "I will destroy you even if I have to throw my spear at you from here!" Then that cloud disappeared too.
As I looked around I began to see faces that I recognized among our group. I saw a pastor from Bellflower - another from Indiana - one from Michigan - as well as many of my American friends. This strengthened me greatly. Then I awoke. The first thought that came to my mind as I awoke was that this had been the last fight of the devil against the church. If we remain faithful, we will be victorious.

The Book of Acts 2.0
4-30-20
A more powerful anointing of My Spirit than any of you has ever seen is now here but much more is coming. From now on the true church, which is My body and My bride, will be transitioning and ministry will no longer be centered in a brick and mortar structure. I do not say that My body will never meet in buildings anymore but it’s not going to be the same as you have ever known. You all are My temples not built by human hands. I will fill My temples with My glory. To all those who have surrendered all to Me, those who have withheld nothing from Me, I will withhold no good thing. It is beginning even now. I will use My people who have repented of their sinful earthly ways, made Me their foremost desire and obediently heed My call to intimacy with Me and to seek and save all those who would come to Me.
This time that lies ahead for My body will be like the book of Acts 2.0. This will not be a revival of big man-made ministries that all know by name. The power of My Spirit is coming through My humble ones who seek only My glory and to build My kingdom. Remember I said wherever 2 or 3 are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them. This is because it is written “by the mouth of 2 or 3 witnesses every word may be established.”( Matt. 18:16) You are My witnesses! I say unto you again “You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”(Acts 1:8) This is to say I will use you firstly right where you live, then in the area surrounding where you live, then you will touch the area surrounding that and then I will transport you to and use you in remote places that you have never been to or even seen or known of. This will be the fulfilment of My words, “This gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.” (Matt. 24:14) You will truly know that you can do all things through My Spirit that strengthens you. My great power shall be known once again in all the earth and it will be even greater than what was written about in the past. Truly, truly I say to you that you would not believe the work that will be done even if you were told! The greatest work ever known upon the earth shall be done in this season. It will be for a very short time but it will surpass all other harvests. This is My great harvest and I am calling all of My own to share in the bounty of it. Your rewards will absolutely astound all of you!
Now, do not be deceived, just as during the time of the book of Acts in the scripture, My witnesses ran into opposition by the oppressive government that ruled at the time. The government that will oppose you will be even more oppressive than the Roman empire and it will be this way all around the globe. This beast system has only just begun to rise and it will continue for it is written. You will resist it but it will continue to rise and you will oppose it because it is opposed to everything that I have commanded. They say that evil is good and good is evil. They will outlaw My name from being spoken or written and will attempt to erase it from the earth but My chosen ones shall speak My name with power and authority, obeying God rather than men.
They will capture some of you and imprison some of you but some will escape miraculously by My power and by My angels. Some of your earthly bodies will be put to death but you must not fear. I am the one who can destroy both soul and body in hell. Satan cannot take My Spirit from the inside of you unless you give him permission and make him your god through taking his mark that will be needed to buy or sell. If you purposely let him in, you cast Me out. If you are one with him, you are not one with Me. Do not be deceived, there will be no forgiveness of this in this life or the next. This cannot be forced on you, those who take this mark will reject Me as their Lord and Savior and then they will be changed to not be a son or daughter of man but a beast. I came as the son of man to seek and save My own but now I am sitting at the right hand of the Father and I will return and destroy all of My enemies. Do not take the mark or you are My enemy.
To whom much is given, much is required. With greater power comes greater responsibility. The days of Ananias and Sapphira are coming again. With greater anointing the punishment for disobedience is quicker and harsher. It’s not going to be business as usual! There will be some that I will appoint to proclaim judgment on those that are wolves in sheep’s clothing, false brethren, the liars and the disobedient. It will happen with no delay at all! In the same manner you will begin to see the manifestation of your prayer happen right before your eyes like never before. You will see miraculous healings, creative miracles such as arms and legs growing where there were none, plagues and pestilences shall be gone, the dead shall be raised, the lame shall walk, the blind shall see, those who are vexed and oppressed by evil spirits will be set free, food will be multiplied and made to appear upon the table of those giving thanks to Me by faith, I shall move you to where I need you and hide you from the enemy when need be, winds and seas will be calmed and mountains shall be moved all in My name, instantly. When you see all of this take place and become almost common, you will know that the time of grace is ending and the time of My kingdom is beginning. It will be after the fiery kick off event.
This great anointing will increase all the way up to The Great and Terrible Day of the LORD. It will be great for those who are with Me and terrible for My enemies. This is when My witnesses, the 144000 shall be transformed and do even greater things than I have mentioned before. They will shine with My glory and do the great exploits and greater works than I did on earth. It will not be possible for them to be harmed, their strength will be unlimited, they shall run and not grow weary or faint and they shall put the fallen ones and the giants to flight. They will help and protect those who did not have their lamps and vessels full of the oil of My spirit, even though these will have to give their lives for Me. My wise ones will reap till the very end of the great harvest and turn many to righteousness and shine like the stars forever and ever.
The time is upon you!
Jesus the Christ
Yeshua Ha Mashiach

And after it was sold, was it not in your own control? Why have you conceived this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God.”5 Then Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and breathed his last. So great fear came upon all those who heard these things. 6 And the young men arose and wrapped him up, carried him out, and buried him. 7 Now it was about three hours later when his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. 8 And Peter answered her, “Tell me whether you sold the land for so much?” She said, “Yes, for so much.”9 Then Peter said to her, “How is it that you have agreed together to test the Spirit of the Lord? Look, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out.” 10 Then immediately she fell down at his feet and breathed her last.

Bible verses for: Woman as Symbol of Church
- Galatians 4:21-31
Tell me, you who desire to be under the law, do you not hear the law? For it is written that Abraham had two sons: the one by a bondwoman, the other by a free woman. But he who was of the bondwoman was born according to the flesh, and he of the free woman through promise, which things are symbolic. For these are the two covenants: the one from Mount Sinai which gives birth to bondage, which is Hagar' for this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children' but the Jerusalem above is free, which is the mother of us all. For it is written:
' Rejoice, O barren,
You who do not bear!
Break forth and shout,
You who are not in labor!
For the desolate has many more children
Than she who has a husband.' Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are children of promise. But, as he who was born according to the flesh then persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, even so it is now. Nevertheless what does the Scripture say? “Cast out the bondwoman and her son, for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the free woman.” So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman but of the free.
- Ephesians 5:23-32
For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything. Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself. For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church. For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones. "For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh." This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church (woman).
- 2 Corinthians 11:2
For I am jealous for you with godly jealousy. For I have betrothed you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.
- Revelation 19:7-8
Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife (church/congregation) has made herself ready." And to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.
- Revelation 21:2
Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

15 But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee:

34. And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
35. Thus saith the LORD, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The LORD of hosts is his name:
36. If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the LORD, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever.

His people can be described as clothed in New Jerusalem as it
Descends, and thus the New Jerusalem is referred to as His “bride.”
The New Jerusalem:
12 gates (tribes of Israel)
12 foundations (12 apostles)
10. And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,
11. Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;
12. And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:
13. On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.
14. And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
This numerical symbolism revealed in the design and description of the New Jerusalem reflects Israel and the Word of God also as 12 X 12 = 144
144.000 / 144 = 1.000
What does the 1.000 symbolically represent?
1.000 is often numerically and symbolically used in scripture to denote His covenant with us.
Revelation 21:
17. And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits (144), according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.
The 144.000 consists of 12 X 12.000 of Israel
This brings us tot he description of the New Jerusalem which is a 12 of Israel as gates X 12 apostles as a foundation. This equals a 12 X 12 which is 144.
This symbolically represents Israel and the foundation of the Word of God as those who have a right to enter. This is the essence of the New Covenant.
The New Covenant is numerically connected to 1.000 in scripture.
144 (New Jerusalem) X 1.000 (New Covenant) equals 144.000.
In the end, all of those who are the New Covenant represent the 144.000 and have a right to enter the New Jerusalem.
The 144.000 likely symbolically represents the full actualization of the New Covenant with all of those in the faith, when all things are made new.
15. And I will give her her vineyards from thence, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope: and she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.
16. And it shall be at that day, saith the LORD, that thou shalt call me Ishi; and shalt call me no more Baali.
17. For I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name.
18. And in that day will I make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven, and with the creeping things of the ground: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the earth, and will make them to lie down safely.
19. And I will betroth thee unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in loving kindness, and in mercies.
20. I will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulness: and thou shalt know the LORD.
21. And it shall come to pass in that day, I will hear, saith the LORD, I will hear the heavens, and they shall hear the earth;
22. And the earth shall hear the corn, and the wine, and the oil; and they shall hear Jezreel.
23. And I will sow her unto me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them which were not my people, Thou art my people; and they shall say, Thou art my God.
