Hi thanks for the reply.I can try. .
It’s something I keep on the back burner. (Without parables Christ the anointing teacher spoke not) purposely hiding the unseen golden gospel understanding.
10 in multiples 100, 1000, 10,000 are used throughout the bile to indicate a unknown .In that way we are not of the number like David who counted the troops revealing he was faithless and not trusting our unseen God. Many died because of the lieral numbering of man. . .
The whole book of Revelation is not only inspired but also signified and represented in the opening verse of Revelation.1:1. It sets the up the kind of understanding found in parables. Signified. . using the temporal seen to give the unseen spiritual understanding of faith . The golden measure .And not the literal measure of man, the temporal they must be mixed .
Revelation 1 King James Version (KJV) The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he
sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:
Gold represents faith the unknown throughout the bible beginning in Genesis. The gospel or river of delight going out to the four corners universally. (east, west, south and north
Genesis 2:11 The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is
gold;And the
gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone.
We search after the hidden meaning as for gold.
A good example is the Ark of the Covenant. The word of God is placed on the outside and like hidden manna the bread of unfamiliarity it reveals the understanding of faith (that inside). With three hidden witnesses . Manna, the tablets and the rod. The golden measure spoken of in Revelation 21.
Deuteronomy 31:25-27 King James Version (KJV) That Moses commanded the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of the Lord, saying, Take this book of the law, and put it in
the side of the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, that it may be there for
a witness against thee. For I know thy rebellion, and thy stiff neck: behold, while I am yet alive with you this day, ye have been rebellious against the Lord; and how much more after my death?
When the enemy stole the ark God brought a plague through mice. It became a witness against them not having the understanding of faith in that parable they molded golden mice in a hope of pleasing the gods of mice.
The 144, 000 with the tribe of Dan missing represents a number no man can count (the golden measure) .Again using the temporal things seen to give us the unseen understanding.
Our God has not left us a orphans with no way to rightly divide the various parables. If we do not use the prescription then we must look to the literal temporal and not the golden eternal .
2 Corinthians 4:18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
Thousand a metaphor is mixed with the literal 144. 12 times 12. Twelve, representing the authority of God.
Revelation 7:4And 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.
In verse 4 the number that no man can count is revealed in verse 9 the same entity. It does not change the fact that it represents all the saints new testament as well as old from all nations.
Revelation 7:9 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;
When men try and make it about one nation then they are literalizing the parable and the unseen gospel remains hid in the gold.its something we must search out.
