The Fourfold Hallelujah

Revelation 19:1,2 After these things, I heard something like a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, Hallelujah! Salvation, glory, and power belong to our God because His judgments are true and righteous, for He has judged the great prostitute who was corrupting the earth with her sexual immorality, and He has avenged the blood of His bond-servants on her.

19:3,4 And a second time they said, Hallelujah! Her smoke ascends forever and ever. And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell and worshiped God who sits on the throne, saying, Amen. Hallelujah!

Four shouts praising HaShem indicate His victory is complete. He has convicted and defeated the Prostitute, Babylon the Great, and thereby taken revenge for all her victims. He has vindicated the righteous of the ages. The identity of the twenty-four elders, as discussed, is debated. Yochanan likely considered them the Twelve Houses and Twelve Disciples, although The text does not clarify this. In any case, once HaShem destroys the New World Order and its Nephilim powers, the righteous of all ages will be vindicated.

19:5,6 And a voice came from the throne, saying, Give praise to our God, all you His bond-servants, you who fear Him, the small and the great. Then I heard something like the voice of a great multitude and like the sound of many waters, and like the sound of mighty peals of thunder, saying, Hallelujah! For the Lord our God, the Almighty, reigns.

The Great Multitude of Gentiles who have taken the hem of Jew and travalled with them are vindicated as well and they praise the King. Notice that all these praises are directed to HaShem alone.

Marriage of the Lamb

19:7,8 Let's rejoice and be glad and give the glory to Him [i.e., to God], because the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His bride has prepared herself. It was given to her to clothe herself in fine linen, bright and clean; for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.

19:9 Then one said to me, "Write: Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding feast of the Lamb.” And one said to me, These are the true words of God. 10 Then I fell at his feet to worship him. But one said to me, Do not do that; I am a fellow servant of yours and your brothers and sisters who hold the testimony of Jesus; worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy."

The text says "one said" etc. Some translators have this as "he said." Its an interesting way this "one" is referenced that spoke with Yochanan ("I am a fellow servant"), however the context is clear that this was another created being, probably the "strong angel" with the millstone in 18:21.

Israel is the eternal wife of HaShem as described in Jeremiah 31:31, 32, Isaiah 54:5 and at other places. Israel became HaShem's wife when she received the Torah at Mount Sinah (Exodus 19:1,2) when Israel unanimously agree to be loyal to her Husband (Exodus 24:3,7). Israel's Husband (baal was loyal to her, but she repeatedly played the harlot with other baalim (Judges 2:11-13). Because of this, HaShem divorced the Northern Ten Houses and angry with Judah and Benjamin (Deuteronomy 29:25-28). The Prophets are clear however that one day Israel will make teshuvah and return to her Husband and be restored to Him (Zechariah 12:10-14). Isaiah assures that God will take her back at Isaiah 62:4,5 and that this marriage ceremony will usher in the Olam Haba. This is what Yochanan is witnessing here, the Marriage Supper between HaShem and His repentant wife, depicted as His Bride.

The Coming of Mashiach ben David

19:11-16 And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and He who sat on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and wages war. His eyes are a flame of fire, and on His head are many crowns; and He has a name written on Him which no one knows except Himself. He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. And the armies which are in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, were following Him on white horses. From His mouth comes a sharp sword, so that with it He may strike down the nations, and He will rule them with a rod of iron; and He treads the wine press of the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty. And on His robe and on His thigh He has a name written: KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

This is the coming of HaMashiach ben David, The Messiah. Notice that Yochanan does say, Yeshua sat, who is called Faithful and True,' but rather "one sat." Yochanan was Yeshua's most intimant talmid and yet he refers to the rider as "one" rather than as his friend and rabbi. He says: "He has a name written on Him which no one knows except Himself." Again, he is not identified as being Yeshua. Mashiach ben David will be utterly awesome in his humanity, and he will rule by the full power and knowledge of the Sacred Name. A name which was known in the First Century when Yochanan was writting, but later lost. His authority is rule is granted to him by HaShem alone, the KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

19:17 Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, and he cried out with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in midheaven, Come, assemble for the great feast of God, so that you may eat the flesh of kings and the flesh of commanders, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them, and the flesh of all people, both free and slaves, and small and great.

Armagedon

The time has come for the conclusion of the War of Magog in the Valley of the Sons of Hinnim, or Armageddon.

19:19 And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies, assembled to make war against Him who sat on the horse, and against His army.
19:20,21 And the beast was seized, and with him the false prophet who performed the signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image; these two were thrown alive into the lake of fire, which burns with brimstone. And the rest were killed with the sword which came from the mouth of Him who sat on the horse, and all the birds were filled with their flesh.

it is interesting to note that even though the Babylon Sytem is destroyed a some point before this final conflict, the False Prophet, leader of that System, is still around to be cast into the Pit of Destruction along with Rex Mundi. They and the armies amassed again Israel will all be destroyed.

HaMashiach ben David is coming and he will be crowned the King of Israel. He will redeem the Jewish people from their great evils and restore the Ten divorced houses. He will be filled with rage because of the perversions of his teachings over the centuries and at the way his brothers and sisters have been mistreated by the nations and global Nephilim born false religion. Hence his "eyes burn with the fire" of righteous indignation.

He will come wielding the authority of the twelve houses/tribes of Israel, hence the many crowns. HaMashiach will arise from among his people triumphant. He will not literally be flying through the air on a magical horse.

They Tried To Kill Us. They Failed. Let's Eat!

According to Josephus (Ant. 13:5-14) King Alexander Jannaeus was once officiating as cohen gadol (high priest) during Sukkot when a group of P'rushim (Pharisees) attacked him with large lemon-like fruit (probably citrons given the timing). The tensions had been mounting for years. King Jannaeus responded by forming a deeper alliance with the Tz'dukim (Sadducees) and having "thousands" of P'rushim executed for political and religious intrigue. The P'rushim sought foreign aid but in the end were executed for treason against the crown and banned from exercising Temple authority. Was withholding knowledge of the Sacred Name part of Jannaeus' plan? Might this be how the correct pronunciation was lost?

Certainly over the past 2000 years this knowledge has been absent as far as we know. Today, despite many claims, it appears that no one knows the correct pronunciation of the Sacred Name. Each attempt to unlock Its mysteries raises additional unanswered questions.

While this is conjecture, it may well be that when HaMashiach arrives he will utter the Sacred Name properly for the first time since 70 CE! Empowered with this knowledge, he may complete his sacred task: destroying the enemies of the Jewish People at Har Megiddo! Consider this prophecy in this light:

Jeremiah 23:5 Behold, the days come, says Adonai, that I will raise to David a righteous Branch, and he shall reign as king and deal wisely, and shall execute justice and righteousness in the land.
23:6 In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely; and this is his name by which he shall be called: Adonai Our Righteousness.
23:7 Therefore behold, the days come, says Adonai, that they shall no more say, As Adonai lives, who brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;
23:8 but, As Adonai lives, who brought up and who led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all the countries where I had driven them. They shall dwell in their own land.

Recall that the ancients of all cultures stressed the importance of names and often kept them secret from non-initiates (consider the tale of Rumpelstiltskin in this light). For Am Israel, the Sacred Name of Four Letters is regarded as utterly Sacred and Powerful. The knowledgeable wielding of that Sacred Name could have unimaginable consequences!

It is believed by some scholars of the Name that whatever the proper vowel sounds might be, the correct pronunciation of the Sacred Name may be as the sound of a rushing wind (ehyeh asher ehyeh) -- that comes into being and passes as quickly -- as the Four Letters glide across the lips. Might this not be the Sound of a winged horse cutting through the air like a dual edged sword of finest humming metal?

19:17 And I saw an angel standing [with the light of the] sun. And he cried with a great voice, saying to all the birds that fly in mid-heaven, Come and gather together to the supper of the Great God,
19:18 so that you may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of commanders, and the flesh of strong ones, and the flesh of horses, and of those sitting on them, and the flesh of all, both free and slave, both small and great alike.

Here we see the onset of the final battle of the Tribulation Period. This conflict will bring HaMashiach into the conflict openly.

By this point the global government will be under siege from many directions as we have discussed. The beleaguered Rex Mundi will be in Jerusalem, furious and paranoid. Babylon the Great will have fallen and mighty Rome (and the global economy) will be in ruins. The massive army of China (the kings of the east), of Russia (kings of the north) and the Muslim Ummah (kings of the south) will now gather on the outskirts of the Holy City, hoping to unseat the Rex Mundi. We've discussed these preparations previously. Of this critical point in future history, Rebbe Yeshua tells us:

Matthew 24:21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
24:22 And if those days were not shortened, no flesh would be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened....
24:28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
24:29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
24:30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

To save the Jews (Am Israel), the Elect, HaMashiach will directly lead his troops against the gathered armies of the eareh and there will be much bloodshed and innumerable corpses will fall to the eareh.

Navy John continues:

Rev 19:19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth and their armies, being gathered to make war against Him who sat on the horse, and against His army.
19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet who did signs before him, (by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast), and those who had worshiped his image. These two were thrown alive into the Lake of Fire, burning with brimstone.

These two men will be utterly destroyed.

19:21 And the rest were slain by the sword of Him who sat on the horse, it proceeding out of His mouth. And all the birds were filled from their flesh.

This sword is doubtless a reference to Torah, the Word of God. By the authority of Torah HaMashiach will act and destroy his enemies. We will discuss the state of those who die during these years later.
