The Revelation: Chapter Fourteen © John of AllFaith*

It is important to remember that the chapters and verses in our Bibles were added later to assist in referencing the texts. They are not intended to direct the flow of the texts and can be misleading.

Chapter thirteen ended with introducing the False Prophet and the issuing of the Mark of the Beast. Thus far (as of November 26th, 2023 C.E., as I edit this piece), the Globalists have not yet formally introduced the world to the Mark of the Beast; however, as I and many others have been warning, in my case, since the 1970s, the shadow of the Beast has been drawing closer for many years. Today, we see like a dress rehearsal of its implementation that the time is drawing short with the lockdowns, intentional food shortages, war on meat, fear-mongering, fake news reports, abortion, mandatory injections, and the October 07th, 2023 attacks on Israel that the Globalists are intent on killing as many people as possible and ending civilization as we know it. The rise of global digital currency, social credit scores, GPS tracking, graphite information implants, and the potential abuses of A.I. and Q.R. codes make it clear that the forewarned Mark of the Beast is ready for universal implementation. What our critics once viewed as conspiracy theory and science fiction is now conspiracy fact and scientific reality. It is now only a matter of their choice in timing.

Consider, on November 16th, 1936, the first Social Security (S.S.) Numbers (SSNs) were issued in the United States. There was concern at the time that the S.S. System might one day be used as a national I.D., but the government put all such concerns to rest in the minds of the unsuspecting public by promising the American people that would never happen. The government lied as usual. Today, one can do precious little without giving the SSN. The dishonest way they convinced the nation to accept this human numbering system should be a warning never to trust the government, but the SSNs are not the Mark. They are just one of the many unheeded warnings of Globalist intentions to implement it.

Today, the SSN serves as the touchstone of all other forms of identification and social control. U.S. Driver licenses (first issued in July 1913 by the state of New Jersey) were gradually linked with SSNs, as were all medical records, etc. Today, Real ID has united all identification systems into a national I.D. databank, shared internationally and hacked by many enemies like China. Now, we are learning about the intended mandatory digital implants and injections. Doubt this? Watch:
Mandatory Microchip Implants
September 12th, 2005: then-Senator Joe Biden acknowledged what he and the Globalists are now doing.

If the U.S. Supreme Court does not stop it, this technology is ready and will be released soon.
Thank God President Trump got some qualified Justices on the Supreme Court.

It's not a question of if but when they will release the completed digital technology to enslave humanity.

The Real I.D Microchip

It is likely that the Mark will continue to be rolled out gradually until the "Middle of the Week" and the resurrection of the Rex Mundi. All who refuse to embrace the new system will become social outcasts and 'useless eaters.' However, even before the first period of the Tribulation begins, they seem ready to pull the trigger on the technology. One must be very careful when determining when to accept or reject "Smart" technology. A Smart Phone is fine even with the tracking abilities, etc. A glucose monitoring device like Dexcon can be helpful for those with diabetes. Such devices are not the Mark. The same goes for Smart Car technology and so on. Even though the Globalists are mentally conditioning the world to embrace the Mark technology, there is no benefit in rejecting such helpful tools and becoming modern-day Luditites.

We are not talking about science fiction but science fact. The technology the Mark will utilize now exists and is already being implemented in animals and, in some cases, even humans. The issuance of Social Security Numbers was a major step toward acculturating the nation and the world to embrace the Mark. Most will.

The Mark of the Beast will be released to the public when the Globalists are ready. At first, the more zealous supporters will hurry to receive theirs as social virtue signaling. Next, those on government programs, such as the military, Social Security, unemployment insurance, etc., will be required to take the Mark to receive benefits. Gradually, the Globalists will tighten the noose, and the System will lock out all who refuse to take it from buying or selling. In time, the police and military powers will seek out those who remain unmarked for "disappearance." At this point in Revelation (14:1), we parenthetically return for a moment to the period covered in Revelation 7:4:
Revelation 14:1 And I saw, and behold, a little lamb [arnion] standing on Mount Zion, and with him a hundred and forty and four thousand, having his name, and the name of his Father, written on their foreheads [literally met'-o-pon : the space between the eyes].

As discussed before, this little lamb is not the Mashiach as many believe. The text says it is a little lamb, an arnion, so this is not HaMashiach. At John 21:15, Yeshua tells Peter to feed his arnion or little lambs. This little lamb is referencing all whom Rex Mundi will slaughter among the Jews and the Great Multitude who will be standing with us during this period. Zion is the Holy Mount in Jerusalem, Moriah, the City of HaShem, and the future world capital under Mashiach ben David. Concerning these 144,000 Jews, we read previously:
Revelation 7:4 And I heard the number of them that were sealed, a hundred and forty and four thousand, sealed out of every tribe of the children of Israel.

Yochanan reminds his readers that we have viewed this scene before. These will be twelve thousand repentant Israelites from each tribe trapped in the Old City of Jerusalem by the surrounding hordes of Magog. They will make complete teshuvah or repentance and then will have been sealed or anointed by God for this special service. These will come from each of the twelve houses of Israel (restored by Mashiach ben Yosef). As for those who will have escaped to Petra and other areas, and those possibly still living outside of Isreal, they will not be of this 14400 select militia. A "Great Multitude of Gentiles" will assist them directly and indirectly, helping the surviving Jews and standing in the face of global evil. We discussed this in chapter seven. This scene will occur as Mashiach ben Yosef rises to power. He will restore the previously divorced Ten Houses, known collectively as Ephraim, for the re-establishment of Israel as foretold. All Twelve Tribes of Isreal will be active in this final great battle.

Now Yochanan sees these same Jewish emissaries standing as "lambs for the slaughter."

Once the Abomination of Desolation (Daniel 9:27; II Thessalonians 2) is committed, some Jews will flee to the ancient rock fortress Petra in modern Jordan (Jordan is biblically part of Israel and will be restored to us by Mashiach ben Yosef during this period), and other locations, while these hundred and forty-four thousand will remain in Jerusalem making teshuvah (repentance) for the nation and resisting the Globalists in various ways, realizing that without divine intervention the Jewish people are about to be genocided completely. We can understand, therefore, that this verse shows Mashiach ben Yosef directing his troops for the upcoming battles against the Global Union, specifically Russia, China, and Al Ikwan (the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood), once they have made teshuvah.

In this chapter, Yochanan sets the stage for his upcoming description of Babylon the Great. He will have much more to say in chapters seventeen and eighteen. Our timeline, therefore, is somewhat fluid in this chapter.

We continue reading:
Revelation 14:1 And I saw, and behold, the little lambs [arnion] standing on Mount Zion, and together [autos] they equaled a hundred and forty-four thousand, having their names [autos] united with the name of their Father written on their foreheads.
14:2 And I heard a Voice from Heaven [the Merkaba], as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and the voice which I heard was as the voice of harpers harping with their harps:
14:3 and they sing as it were a new song before the throne [thronos, i.e., the Merkaba], and before the four living creatures and the elders: and no one could learn the Song except the hundred and forty and four thousand, only those who had been purchased [agorazo] from the earth.
14:4 These are they who were not defiled with women [literally, Moluno meaning that they had not "soiled themselves" through physical or spiritual fornication and adultery; in other words, they will have made teshuvah and not worshipped the Beast, they have remained loyal to HaShem] for they are virgins [parthenos: shunned such evils and remained spiritually chaste]. These are they who unite with the lambs whithersoever they are led [Hupago]. They were purchased from among humanity as firstfruits unto God as His little lambs [arnion, their mishpaka or fellow servants].
5 And in their mouth was found no lie: they are without blemish.

Again, the Jewish identity of the 144,000 as the bikkurim, the first fruits of God's End Time Gleaning, is clearly stated (Deuteronomy 26:2) despite what some prophecy students understand. They are of the "first fruit" of Mount Sinai - the Israelites- and have now received the new Song. This Song or Tune is the vehicle through which the New Covenant, spoken of through Jeremiah the Prophet (31:31-34), will be received as the Torah is written into the human consciousness. These will be the first to receive this Song and Covenant. The Gemara sheds some light on the nature of this Song:
Pesachim 117a: The Mishna states that we will say/sing before Him: "Halleluyah" . The Gemara discusses the meaning of this term. Rav Ḥisda said that Rabbi Yoḥanan said: The word halleluyah and the word kesya (Exodus 17:16: saying, "A hand upon the throne of the LORD! The LORD will have war with Amalek from generation to generation") and the name Yedidya (II Samuel 12:25: and sent a message by Nathan the prophet. So he called his name Yedidya, because of the LORD) are each regarded as a single word, not an amalgamation of two smaller words, i.e., it's not "Hallelu-yah" but "Halleluyah." Rav said that kesya and merḥavya (Psalms 118:5, "In my distress I cried out to the Lord. The Lord answered me and put me in a wide-open place.") are single words. Rabba said: Only merḥavya is a single word; the others are two words.

This brought a dilemma before the Sages: According to the opinion of Rav Ḥisda, what is the status of merḥavya? Is it counted as two words or one? This dilemma was raised because Rav Ḥisda himself did not mention this term. No answer was found for this dilemma, and therefore the Gemara states: Let it stand unresolved...

This brought a dilemma before the Sages: According to the opinion of Rav, what is the status of halleluyah? Is it one word or two? The Gemara answers: Come and hear, as Rav said: I saw a book of Psalms in the study hall of my uncle, Rabbi Ḥiyya, in which the word halleluh was written on one side, at the end of a line, and yah was written on one side, at the beginning of the next line. This shows that the word halleluyah can indeed be split in two.

The Gemara comments: This opinion disputes that of Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi, as Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi said: What is the meaning of the word halleluyah? It means, "praise Him" [halleluhu] with many praises [hillulim]. According to this opinion, the yah at the end of the word is a superlative, not a divine name.

The Gemara adds: This statement of Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi disagrees with another ruling that he issued, as Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi said: The book of Psalms is recited through ten expressions of praise: By nitzuaḥ, niggun, maskil, mizmor, shir, ashrei, tehilla, tefilla, hoda'a , and halleluyah. He continues: The greatest of them all is halleluyah, which includes God's Name and praise at once. This statement indicates that Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi considers halleluyah to be a combination of two words, one of which is the Name of God [i.e., Yah.

Rav Yehuda said that Shmuel said: The song in the Torah, i.e., the Song at the Sea (recorded in Exodus 15:1–19), Moses and the Jewish people recited it when they ascended from the sea. The Gemara asks: And who said this hallel mentioned in the Mishna, Psalms 113–118? The Gemara answers: The Prophets among them established this hallel for the Jewish people, that they should recite it on every appropriate occasion; and for every trouble, may it not come upon them, they recite the supplications included in hallel. Whenever they are redeemed [i.e., rescued from some danger], they recite it over their redemption, as hallel includes expressions of gratitude for the redemption.

So, the word hallel translates as "praise," and the greatest hallel thus far in our history is that recorded in Exodus 15:1–19. But Prophet Jeremiah tells us that one day we will receive a greater hallel, and the rabbis agreeing say that will be the halleluyah expression of praise.

Concerning the Song of Final Redemption, Rebbe Nachman of Breslov explains a vital concept in Likutei Moharan Part 2:8. The Song of Redemption will be:
"A thread of lovingkindness," signifying that strands have been wound together and made into a thread. These are the strings or threads upon which this melody and Song of the Future will be played. These number seventy-two, corresponding to the Sacred Name Y-YH-YHV-YHVH— [or Yud, Yud He, Yud He Vav, Yud He Vav He], the simple-twofold-threefold-fourfold song, as revealed in the Tikkunim (i.e., Tikkuney Zohar # 21, p.51b) — which [likewise] has a total value of seventy-two. And the Song of the Future [or Song of Final Redemption], when HaShem renews His world, will be played upon these strings [or notes], as in the verse, "The world will be built on lovingkindness" (Psalms 89:3) because this simple-twofold-threefold-fourfold song is destined to burst forth then [i.e., at the End of Days before the coming of Mashiach].

Thus, this is the meaning of "a thread of lovingkindness" mentioned in connection with the fit reprover [i.e., Mashiach ben David] and refers to the thread made from the strings [or notes] upon which this song will be played when the world is renewed upon the concept of "The world will be built on lovingkindness." And this refers to "a thread of lovingkindness which is drawn over him" [as Shlomo HaMelech rejoiced in his Song of Solomon 2:4: "He has brought me to his banquet hall, and his banner over me is love"]. This drawing signifies drawing on and plucking the strings to play the above song, the Song of Redemption. It follows that with [Mashiach's] voice, the one fit to offer moral guidance will give the souls a pleasant scent.

Here is the meaning and why this matters: Even as Moshe's tokhachah or moral guidance and reproof of the Israelites following the incident with the Golden Calf was given with a pleasant and encouraging scent, as in "my nard gave forth its fragrance" (compare Song of Songs 1:12), so too, Mashiach ben David will not brow-beat his subjects but will speak encouraging reproof as they receive the New Song inscribed into their consciousness. The text does not say "leave behind" but "gave forth," as Rashi expounds there and as our Sages, of blessed memory, taught in the Talmud (Shabbat 88b). Everyone will accept his reproof and instructions because everyone will know the Truth inwardly. Then the Creator will be One and His Name One as prophesied in Zechariah 14:9, 10.

The first to receive this new Song will be the 144,000 Jews, then the Great Multitude of Humanity standing with them, and eventually, the Song will cover the Earth with Shalom.

The reference to their being virgins refers to their spiritual purity rather than their physical state. They will have prepared themselves by abandoning the old or new Pagan gods, including the Rex Mundi. This sacred Remnant of humanity will serve as Mashiach ben Yosef's "Special Forces," and their loyalty will be beyond question.
Revelation 14:6 And I saw another angel flying in mid-heavens, having eternal good tidings to proclaim to them that dwell on the earth. To every nation and tribe and tongue and people, he proclaims with a great voice, "Fear God alone, and give Him glory; for the hour of His judgment is come! Worship He who made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and fountains of waters."

Accept the admonition of HaMashiach and his servant! Embrace the New Covenant HaShem will make with Israel:
Jeremiah 31:31-34 Behold, the days will come, says Adonai, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
32 not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand and brought them out of the land of Egypt; which covenant they broke, even though I was like a husband to them, says Adonai.
33 No, this is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says Adonai: I will put my Law in their inward parts, and I will write it in their consciousness . I will be their God, and they will be my people.
34 They will no longer teach everyone his neighbor, and everyone his brother, saying, Know Adonai, because they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest, says Adonai and I will forgive their iniquities and their sins I will remember no more.

Note that this promised "New Covenant" is made with Israel, not the other nations, and that thus far, what it promises to produce has not happened. Once this Covenant is made with the priesthood, Israel, it will flow outward to all who hold the hem of the Jewish tzitzit or hem as said at Zechariah 8:23. This clearly is not what happened with the Church. Our Christian friends do well to consider that the Council of Laodicea outlawed seeking Jewish insights, which they condemned as "Judaizing," on pain of ex-communication or death. The Council of Laodicea states in Canon 29:
Christians must not Judaize by resting on the Sabbath but must work on that day, instead honoring the Lord's Day [i.e., Sunday], and, if they can, resting then as Christians. But if any shall be found to be judaizers, let them be anathema from Christ.

Likewise:
Canon 37: It is not lawful to receive portions [i.e., the weekly parsha or Torah portion] sent from the feasts of Jews or heretics, nor to feast together with them.
Canon 38: It is not lawful to receive unleavened bread [i.e., matza] from the Jews, nor to be partakers of their impiety.

The 4th Century Synod of Laodicea, which may be read here, seeks to nullify and replace the Torah of Moshe, believed by Yeshua, Yochanan, and other Way Sect practitioners. It directly states its intention was the "reformation of the Church." In other words, to reform or transform the Jewish Way Sect into a new Roman cult. And through the power of Rome and the Nicolaitan heresy (Revelations 2 and 3), it succeeded. Zechariah is clear that the New Covenant will be made with Israel, and yet Nicene Christianity cut themselves off from Israel.

There is no reason to take this any way other than literally. As homo sapien humanity advances through the Final Seven Years of the Olam Hazeh, HaShem will make His will and purposes for the earth abundantly clear to everyone. As stated above, Mashiach's reproofs will be gentle and encouraging to those with positive intentions. The Song of Redemption will reveal itself, and those Yeshua referred to as the "Sheep" will hear the sound of Shepherd's voice and join the Dance. Those who have chosen the way of the Yetzer Hara, the "goats," will reject the Song. They will embrace Dagon and forfeited their humanity through the perverting of the DNA and the acceptance of the number of the Beast. The creator of this next video obviously sought to make this information clear, but without a fairly good base knowledge of biological science it may be difficult to follow due to oversimplication. The video drops us into an obviously longer discussion, somewhat unprepared contextually. One might be concerned, for instance, that she might be making her number choices and the use of select doubles to arrive at her desired conclusion. However, her presentation fits perfectly with our discussion of the appearance of the Sacred Name within DNA with the added demention of the number 666, which is the number Adam or "man" or homo sapien humanity." Some will say all of this is only coincidence, but at what point does the amount of seeming coincidences add up to a certainty? It's for the wise to determine. "Coincidence" or not, this teaching adds another important block of evidence to our prophetic examinations concerning what is now dawning:

Back to our text; the angel here at Revelation 14:7 seems to be the same one who rises from the East at Revelation 7:2, but this is not certain from the context. In any case, this angel will shout for all to hear this warning and admonition. Among the miraculous events of this period, everyone on Earth will hear this angel's words audibly echoing across the earth from the heavens.
Revelation 14:8 And another, a second angel, followed, saying, "Fallen, fallen is Babylon the Great, she that has made all the nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.

Babylon the Great

In the Yochanan's revelation, Babylon the Great is mentioned by name for the first time. Note that the angel announces that Babylon has fallen! We will discuss this in lots of detail in chapters seventeen and eighteen. Notice that the reference is not to the ancient Babylonian Empire. Babylon the Great has made the nations (the people of the Earth) drunk with her fornications. The Bible often describes spiritual treason as fornication (examples include Jeremiah 3:20, Isaiah 1:21, 57:8, Ezekiel 16:30, and many more). Again, there will be much more about Babylon in chapters seventeen and eighteen. Yochanan is only giving us an overview here. I noted in my commentaries on chapter thirteen that the False Prophet rules over Babylon the Great and will oversee both the idol and Mark of the Beast. With this in mind, particularly note the next two verses:
14:9 And another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a loud voice, If anyone worships the Beast or his image, or receives the mark [charagma: a stamp, an imprinted mark] on his forehead, or upon his hand,
14:10 he will drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is prepared unmixed in the cup of His anger. He will be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the sacrificial lambs [arnion: in context, in the presence of those who courageously stood against him, i.e., the martyrs, implying that they too could have refused like the martyrs but chose not to].

The proximity of these two verses is not a coincidence.
14:11 and the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; they have no rest day and night, they that worship the Beast or his image, or whoever receives the mark of his name.
12 Here is the patience of the righteous ones, they who keep the commandments of God and the faith taught by Yeshua [i.e., emunah in HaShem as advocated by the Jewish Way sect, not faith in Yeshua as a divinity, God forbid].

The warning here is that as the world faces the various coming persecutions and witnesses the death of loved ones and the global overspreading of evil, those who maintain their emunahand betachon in HaShem alone can rest secure that HaShem is always victorious and that there will be a time of reckoning (compare Revelation 6:11). As they witness these events the Remnant can be confident that Adonai Shavuot will soon establish the Messianic Olam Haba and that the Nephilim New World Order is going down! So, "having done all you can to stand... Stand! (as advised in Ephesians 6:13).
14:13 And I heard the voice from heaven saying, Write, Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord [Kurios:, i.e., God, literally, the one to whom a person or thing belongs] from henceforth: yes! says the Spirit [pneuma or spirit-wisdom of God] that they may rest from their labors; for their works follow with them.

The idea of being tortured or killed or of sacrificing one's life is not pleasant for anyone. However, it will be the testimony of the martyrs that will seal Rex Mundi's fate. Blessed are all who are privileged to take part in this coming sacrifice!
14:14 And I saw, and behold, a white cloud; and on the cloud I saw one sitting like to a son of man, having on his head a golden crown and a sharp sickle in his hand.

Mashiach ben David Takes His Trone

Now Yochanan sees Mashiach ben David, a homo sapien, a human son of man. The phrase "son of man" is found 82 times in the New Testament, including by Yeshua, describing himself (Matthew 12:32). These texts affirm his humanity. The phrase "son of," whether as in "son of man" or "son of God," refers to one who is a prime example of his proper upbringing. A proper Torah-observant, God-loving son of man will be crowned King of Israel. This "white cloud" upon which the son of man arrives represents the great cloud of pure martyrs and other tzadikim who have washed their robes white (pure) through their willing sacrifices (compare Revelation 7:14, Hebrews 12:1,2, Exodus 24:15, Ezekiel 30:3). The cloud metaphor demonstrates that Mashiach ben David will rise high above the leaders of the dark and vile Global Elite to bring the Light of God to everyone. Such metaphors affirm that our coming king will be an obedient male Jew living up to his human potential, anointed by HaShem, our Father, by order of the Merkaba Throne in the heavens.

The holy martyrs will be sons of God (compare I John 3:2) who have "resisted to blood," which is to say, to the death. They were told to rest for a little while until all the martyrdoms had been completed (see Revelation 6:11). The souls of the righteous departed rest in the celestial Gan Eden according to standard Jewish understanding. The holy blood and sacrifice of martyrs is a powerful thing! The willingness of the Remnant, the 144,000 Israelites, and the Great Multitude of Gentiles to sacrifice themselves will be part of the Great Teshuvah that will bring Mashiach ben David to power and affirm that HaShem is echad (One) and that His Name is echad" as stated in Zechariah 14:9. See my study here for more information on the Two Messiahs.
14:15 And another angel came out from the temple, crying with a great voice to him that sat on the cloud, 'Send forth your sickle, and reap: for the hour to reap is come; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.'

Previously, when Yochanan beheld Mashiach ben David enthroned, he spoke of his grandeur as sovereign of Israel and overlord of the nations (11:15), now he witnesses HaShem's order for him to end the Great Tribulation and War of Magog. Mashiach ben David is consistently presented as following God's instructions and, through His direction, ruling as the political King of Israel and over-king of the Earth.

Now, the warring world powers have assembled on the plains of Megiddo for the final battle. Those gathered against Israel are likened to ripe grapes whose day for a crushing harvest has come! Those foolish people who dare to resist Israel today, and all the more so as these events unfold, HaShem will crush into a pulp, and their blood will flow as red wine! In Israel's current state of disobedience to God, the nation is weak, and our enemies mock us and our faithless leadership, but when Israel returns to HaShem, no power on earth will be able to stand against us (II Chronicles 7:14).

Rebbe Nachman of Breslov clarifies what will be happening during this period:
Mashiach will conquer the entire world without firing a single bullet (Siach Sarfey Kodesh 1-67)

How can this be? Under the direction of Mashiach ben David from the Mirkaba, Mashiach ben Yosef will fight the enemies of God and triumph militarily by his authority. Ben Yosef's armies will restore Israel to the boundaries designated by HaShem through the force of miracles and military arms. Once Mashiach ben Yosef's forces restore all of Eretz Israel, he will hand the nation to Mashiach ben David to rule as King and take his seat at his right hand.

Throughout these seven years, the Song of Redemption will be spreading across the earth. HaShem will force no one to accept the new reality of the New Covenant, but those of a positive mentality will, and upon receiving it, they will readily embrace it. By the time Mashiach ben David takes his throne, everyone will have decided where they stand. Mashiach ben David will witness and affirm God's Righteous Wrath as it falls. He will not need to fire a shot, as Rebbe Nachman of Breslov says: Mashiach will conquer the world only through simple people who sincerely recite the Psalms (Sipurim Niflaim). The concealed meaning here is as discussed above. The Psalms are recited:
through ten expressions of praise: By nitzuaḥ, niggun, maskil, mizmor, shir, ashrei, tehilla, tefilla, hoda'a , and halleluyah.

And the most important of these is through the halleluyah, Psalm 150, as discussed.

The Book of Revelation does not directly address the service of Mashiach ben Yosef, although the prophets of the Tanach strongly suggest his vital role. Like the angels, he does his work selflessly. Revelation's scope and Daniel's later prophecies remained largely concealed until the End Times. To better understand what is coming and the work of these two men, consider my study on the two Messiahs HERE.

Yochanan continues:
Revelation 14:16 And he that sat on the cloud cast his sickle upon the earth and reaped the earth.
14:17 Another angel came out from the [Merkaba] temple in heaven; he also had a sharp sickle.
18 And another angel came out from the altar, he who had power over fire; and he called with a great voice to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Send forth your sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.
19 And the angel cast his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vintage of the earth, and cast it into the winepress, the great winepress of the wrath of God.
20 The winepress is trodden outside the city, and there came out blood from the winepress, even to the reins of the horses, as far as a thousand and six hundred furlongs [or 182.8 miles, 292.6 Kilometers].

A stadion is a space or distance of about 600 feet (185 m). Therefore, this measurement tells us that at ground zero of the battle of Har Megiddo (Armageddon), the final battle of the War of Magog, an area of approximately 960,000 feet or 181.8 miles (292.6 Kilometers) will be flowing with blood from this battle! The statement that blood will flow "even to the bridles of the horses" is unimaginable, but literal or not, the scene will be gruesome as the Sons of Light finally defeat the Sons of Darkness for control of Zion! Likely, this will be the battle in which Mashiach ben Yosef will die, but this is conjecture.

It is essential to note two critical wars discussed in the Book of Revelation: the global War of Magog, spoken of by Ezekiel and other biblical prophets, and this final Battle of Har Megiddo (or Armageddon). The prophets of the Tanach focus mainly on the Magog War. Yochanan reveals previously unknown details about the final battle of the War of Magog. We'll discuss the War of Magog in more depth later in this study. This world war will cover most of the final seven-year period. Our current text is referencing the Battle of Har Megiddo (Armageddon), the battle that will witness the destruction of Rex Mundi and end the Great Re-set to Paganism.

REJECT THE MARK OF THE BEAST NO MATTER WHAT!

Here ends Chapter 14.
