1 - Then I was given a measuring rod (Zechariah
2:1-3) resembling a (shepherd’s)
staff. and was told, "Go and measure the temple of Yahuah (the
body of His Elect 1 Corinthians 3:16) and the (golden)
alter (the hearts and minds of His
Elect Hebrews 13:10) and count the number of worshipers there
(this is measuring The Temple. The Temple
is made up of the sum total of His Children, it is Spiritual not
physical).
Revelation 21
15 The malak who spoke with me had
a golden measuring rod to measure the city and its gates and walls.
Zechariah 2:1–3:10 -
A Vision of a John with a Measuring Line
1 And I lifted my eyes (to
see a vision) and saw (with my
Spiritual Eyes), and behold, a man (the
Prophet John) with a measuring rod in his hand! 2 Then I said, “Where
are you going John?” And John said to me, “To measure Jerusalem,
to see what is its width and what is its length.”
2 but do not measure the court outside the
temple; leave that out, for it is given over to the nations, and they
will trample the holy city for forty-two months (Luke
21:24).
Luke 21
22 For
this is the time of punishment in fulfillment of all that has been
written. 23 How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and
nursing mothers! There will be great distress in the land and wrath
against this people. 24 They will fall by the sword and will be taken as
prisoners to all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled on by the
Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
3 - And I will empower my two witnesses (The
Heavenly and Earthly Scrolls are His Two Witnesses to mankind)
and they will prophesy for 1260 days (their
prophecies will be) clothed in sackcloth” (come
with great mourning against Babylon Revelation 19:19)."
Revelation 18
19 they will
throw dust on their heads as they weep and mourn and cry out: “Woe, woe
to the great city, where all who had ships on the sea were enriched by
her wealth! For in a single hour she has been destroyed (the
destruction of Babylon is the subject of the Prophets in the OT).”
4 And these are “the two olive trees (House
of Israel and House of Judah… the Bride) and the two
lampstands” (light) that stand
before the King (to give light) over
the Earth (Zechariah 4:11-14).
Zechariah 4:11-14
11 Then I asked the angel, “What are
these two olive trees on the right and the left of the lampstand?” 12
Again I asked him, “What are these two olive branches beside the two
gold pipes that pour out golden oil?” 13 He replied, “Do you not know
what these are?” “No, my King,” I said. 14 So he said, “These are the
two anointed to serve Yahuah (to shed light)
over all the Earth.”
5 And if anyone would harm them, fire (judgment
– Yahuah’s word is all consuming fire Jeremiah 23:29)
Jeremiah
23:29
"Is not My word like fire," declares
Yahuah.
pours from their mouth and consumes their foes (Jeremiah
5:14).
Jeremiah 5:14
Therefore, thus says Yahuah, the God of hosts, "Because you have spoken
this word, Behold, I am making My words in your mouth fire And this
people wood, and it will consume them.
LEO:
The Lion King is aroused for rending, the Serpent flees, the Bowl
of Wrath is upon him, his Carcass is devoured. The Lion of the
tribe of Judah rules as King.
If anyone would harm them (does
not keep His Testimony proclaimed in His Two Witnesses; The Heavenly and
Earthly Scrolls), this is how he is doomed to be killed (consumed
by His Judgment). 6 They have the power to shut the sky, that no
rain (Spiritual Inspiration) may fall
during the days of their prophesying (4th
bowl judgment), and they have power over the waters to turn them
into blood (2nd and 3rd
bowl judgment) and to strike the Earth with every kind of plague
(1st bowl judgment), as
often as they desire (as Yahusha brings his
people out of the nations like Moses led Israel out of Egypt).
NOTE:
Keep in mind, this is a Spiritual Vision of events that occur in the
Spiritual Realm during the last days. This is NOT literal… There is
not a literal “beast” that comes rising out of the Earth from a
bottomless pit. There are no literal “dead bodies” that lay in the
streets etc. This is symbolism, metaphors, figures of speech,
Spiritual Mysteries.
7 And when they have finished their testimony, the
beast that rises from the bottomless pit (The
Dragon rising from the horizon seen as the bottomless pit in The
Heavenly Scroll to battle - ORION) will make war on them
and conquer them (Revelation 13) and
kill them, 8 and their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great
city that symbolically is called Sodom and Egypt, where their King was
crucified. 9 For three and a half periods of time (Greek
word for “day” is hemera Strong’s 2250 which also means “period of time”
or “years” - Daniel uses the same wording in Hebrew as “times, time, and
half of time” Daniel 12:7 denoting an unspecified period of time)
some from the peoples and tribes and languages and
nations will gaze at their dead bodies and refuse to let them be placed
in a tomb, 10 and those who dwell on the Earth will rejoice over them
and make merry and exchange presents, because these two prophets had
been a torment to those who dwell on the Earth (Matthew
24:37-39).
11 But after the three and a half periods of time
the breath of life from Yahuah entered them (first
resurrection of the two Olives Trees who proclaim the Two Witnesses,
unification of Ezekiel’s two branches), and they stood up on
their feet, and great fear fell on those who saw them. 12 Then they
heard a loud voice from Heaven saying to them, “Come up here!”
And they went up to Heaven in a cloud, and their enemies watched them.
13 And at that hour there was a great Earthquake, and a tenth of the
city fell. Seven thousand people were killed in the Earthquake, and the
rest were terrified and gave glory to Yahuah revealed in The Heavenly
Scroll. 14 The second woe has passed; behold, the third woe is soon to
come.
15 Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and
there were loud voices in Heaven, saying, “The kingdom of the world
has become the kingdom of our Creator and of his King, and He (Yahuah
through Yahusha) shall reign forever and ever.” 16 And the
twenty-four elders who sit on their thrones before Yahusha fell on their
faces bowing in respect to Yahusha their King (who
has fulfilled The Heavenly Scroll), 17 saying, “We give thanks
to you, Yahusha the (proxy of the) Almighty (Ruler
– SAGITTARIUS/LEO), who is and who was (CAPRICORNUS),
for you have taken your great power and begun to reign (over
the Kingdom that will govern Yahuah’s Creation - LEO).
18 The nations raged, but your wrath came (and
defeated the Dragon - SCORPIO), and the time for
the dead to be judged (TAURUS),
and for rewarding your servants (PISCES
/AQUARIUS), the prophets and saints, and those who show
reverence to (the covenant that bears)
your name (Isaiah 42:6), both small and
great, and for destroying the destroyers of the Earth (LEO).”
19 Then Yahuah’s temple in Heaven was opened, and
the ark of his covenant was seen within his temple. There were flashes
of lightning, rumblings,4 peals of thunder, an Earthquake, and heavy
hail.
