1st beast of Revelation 13:1 you will be astonished about the underlying meaning!
Rev 11: v1. And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of YahwehShua and the altar, and them that worship therein.
V2. But the court which is without the temple leave out, measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty [and] two months.*
Rev 11: v3. And I will give [power] unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred [and] threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.*
*{3 ½ years of 30 day months where new moon not seen (1,260 days) prior to the 7th Trump (when YahwehShua Messiah returns for his 144,000 Saints). The beautiful false human messiah will say the 2 witnesses are devils causing the plagues (see article The Ministry of Messiah and the 2 Witnesses April 22, 2023 under news on The Light of YahwehShua web site.} v 4. These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before YahwehShua Messiah of the earth.
V5. And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
V6. These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.*
*{Likely Moses & Elias; if our Creator can extend Lazarus's physical life after 4 days, YahwehShua Messiah can extend Moses’s and Elias’s physical life after 4000 years. See articles Life & Death Aug 2, 2023 and Ministry of Messiah & 2 Witnesses April 22, 2023 on this website}
V7. And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
V8. And their dead bodies [shall lie] in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Creator Yahweh incarnate was hung in a tree.
V9. And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.
V10. And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.
V11. And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from Father Yahweh through YahwehShua Messiah entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.
V12. And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud;* and their enemies beheld them.
*{in Spiritual bodies as part of the 144,000 Saints!}
V13. And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth* part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand:* and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the Father Yahweh & his Son YahwehShua Messiah in heaven.
*{Perhaps Jerusalem is much smaller from Seals 4 horsemen ¼ + Trumps Third population of earth killed. If tenth part of city fell, it is referring to Jerusalem’s population then Jerusalem would be 70,000 people much smaller than today.}
V14. The second woe is past; [and,] behold, the third woe cometh quickly.
V15. And the seventh* angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become [the kingdoms] of our Father Yahweh, and of his anointed Son YahwehShua Messiah; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
*@ 7th Trump YahwehShua Messiah returns to meet his 144,000 Saints in the air for 30 day Wedding Feast!
V16. And the four and twenty elders, which sat before YahwehShua Messiah on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped Father Yahweh in the name of, and through his resurrected Son YahwehShua Messiah.
V17. Saying, We give thee thanks, O Father Yahweh Almighty in the name of your Son YahwehShua Messiah, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.
V18. And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the Saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
V19. And the Temple of Yahweh was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his Temple* the Ark of his Covenant: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.
*True Temple and Ark of The Covenant! Earthly Tabernacle in the Wilderness, Solomon’s Temple and Ezekiel’s Millennial Temple in Jerusalem were detailed patterns or copies of the true given by our Creator to Moses, David, and Ezekiel respectfully.
Rev 12: v1. And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman* clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
*Perhaps Virgin bride, true Assembly, small flocks clothed with the sun (SON) and the moon (new moon and sun determines feast days weekly and yearly Sabbaths which guide the body or Assembly) and upon her head (YahwehShua is the Head of the body or Assembly) crown of 12 stars may be good angels that work at the direction of YahwehShua as a hedge around his Saints (144,000 = 12 x 12 x 1000) Psa 34: v7. The angel of Yahweh encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them. Heb 1: v14. Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation (Saints)? See article Wherever the Carcass is the eagles will be gathered Sept 1, 2023.
V2. And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
V3. And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
V4. And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
V5. And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child the resurrected Son YahwehShua Messiah was caught up unto Father Yahweh and [to] his throne.
V6. And the woman* fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of YahwehShua Messiah that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred [and] threescore days.*
*{Some of the Assembly will likely be taken to a desolate place of safety during the 3 ½ yrs leading up to the 7th Trump, but some will be martyred}
V7. And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
V8. And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
V9. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
V10. And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our Father Yahweh, and the power of his anointed Son YahwehShua Messiah: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our Creator YahwehShua Messiah day and night.
V11. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the Word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
V12. Therefore rejoice, [ye] heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! For the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
V13. And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man [child.]
V14. 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.
*{Eagle is likely an angel taking some of those from assemblies to a place of safety, 3 ½ years of 7 Seals 7 Trumps}
V15. And the serpent cast out of his mouth water* as a flood* after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.
*{Rev 17: v15. And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.}
V16. And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened* her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
*{Deu 11: v6. And what he did unto Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben: how the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and their tents, and all the substance that [was] in their possession, in the midst of all Israel}
V17. And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant* of her seed, which keep the Commandments of Father Yahweh, and have the testimony of his resurrected Son YahwehShua Messiah.
*Perhaps 2/3 Saints taken to a place of safety 1/3 martyred including the 2 Witnesses!
Rev 13: v1. And I stood upon the sand of the sea,* and saw a beast* rise up out of the sea, having seven heads* and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.*
*{Rev 17: v15. And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. Beast maybe Creature = Creation. Heads with blasphemy may be false elders}
V2. And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard,* and his feet were as [the feet] of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion:* and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
*{Perhaps people all over the world or creation not yet pure. Mouth of a lion = false doctrine. How can you repent of something you think is true?}
V3. And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed*: and all the world wondered after the beast.*
*{The Seals & 4 horsemen only kill ¼ the population on earth (pause between seals and trumps = deadly wound was healed). Everybody covets creation (beast = creature = creation) instead of Creator. People worship goverment systems, ecclesiastical systems, educational systems, economic systems, sports heros, etc. Lucifer worshiped himself (he was created by the Son) instead of our and his Creator!}
V4. And they worshipped the dragon* which gave power unto the beast:* and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who [is] like unto the beast? Who is able to make war with him?
*{Satan makes everyone think you can worship any day of the week. He makes you think armies can save you. He received permission from our Creator to take the key out of scriptures. The name Yahweh was in the Old Covenant nearly 7000 times. When our Creator Yahweh incarnate walked the planet, it was down to 2000 times (dead sea scrolls), now it’s zero! It’s not going to stop his plan. We are probably putting a big target on our back. Deu 32: v3. Because I will publish the name of the Son of Father Yahweh: ascribe ye greatness unto our Father Yahweh & his resurrected Son YahwehShua Messiah}
V5. And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty [and] two months.*
*{The false human messiah goes toe to toe with the 2 Witnesses for 3 ½ years leading up to the 7th Trump and gets another 30 days up to Armageddon (see article Ministry of Messiah and the 2 Witnesses)}
V6. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against YahwehShua Messiah to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
V7. And it was given unto him to make war with the Saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
V8. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life* of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
Before anything was made the Father & Son planned everything with great precision!
V9. If any man have an ear, let him hear.
V10. He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the Saints.
V11. And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb,* and he spake as a dragon.
*{false human messiah}
V12. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast,* whose deadly wound was healed.*
*{Satan deceives the whole world; Rev 12: v9. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him; deadly wound which was healed may be a breather between the Seals and Trumps; Rev 8: v1. And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour (21 months.)}
V13. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire* come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
*{The false human messiah will make lightning come down from outer space. Likely fallen angels (Heb 1: v7. And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire). You will have to be present or see it on tv like when our Creator YahwehShua Messiah returns @ the 7th Trump (Rev 1: v7. Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him (simultaneously), and they [also] which pierced him (even those in the graves): and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.)}
V14. And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by [the means of] those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image* to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
*{image = false idols = worshipping creation instead of Creator such as money, power, prestige, etc.}
V15. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
V16. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark* in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
V17. And that no man might buy or sell,* save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
V18. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number [is] Six hundred threescore [and] six.*
*{The mark of the beast (666 creation) is the absence of the mark of our Creator (777) YahwehShua Messiah. For example, thinking you can have a holy convocation any day of the week! (weekly holy convocation is on the 7th day Friday sunset to Saturday at sunset; one of the 10 Commandments.) For example, thinking you can do your occupation any day of the week! (Rev 13: v17. And that no man might buy [occupation] or sell [barter or occupation], save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.) see article Mark of the Beast May 30, 2025}
Rev 14: v1. 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.
*{having the singular name of the Father and Son! (See Rotherham’s translation). Also see Mat 28: v19. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the (singular) name of the Father, and of the Son. The name YahwehShua contains the name of Father Yahweh and his Son YahwehShua Messiah.}
V2. 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:
V3. 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.
V4. 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 Father Yahweh and to the Lamb YahwehShua Messiah.
V5. And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of YahwehShua Messiah.
V6. And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting evangel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,
V7. Saying with a loud voice, Fear Father Yahweh and his Son YahwehShua Messiah , 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.
V8. 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.
V9. 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,
*{worshiping creation instead of the Creator. Worshipping false idols}
V10. The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of YahwehShua Messiah* 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:
*{see Wrath of YahwehShua Feb 16, 2023}
V11. 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.
*for ever is olam in Hebrew = a period of time
V12. Here is the patience of the Saints: here [are] they that keep the commandments of Father Yahweh, and the faith of his Son YahwehShua Messiah.
V13. And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed [are] the dead which die in the name of YahwehShua Messiah from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.
V14. 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.
V15. 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.
V16. And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.
V17. And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.
V18. 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.
V19. 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 YahwehShua Messiah.
V20. 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.*
*{200 miles}
HalleluYahwehShua!
