THE BOOK OF REVELATION

THE BOOK OF REVELATION��

By Ella Mast

As you know the Book of Revelation is a book of mystery, a book of symbolism. I will try to give you an outline of this last book ofthe Bible� using the tape ministries of Dr. Swift, and Pastor Comparet, as well as my� understanding. You are well acquainted with Dr. Swift's work as a Pastor,� and in case you are not acquainted with Pastor Comparet, he was a lawyer� with his own firm in California when he became acquainted with the Swift� group, and the Swift Ministry. On retiring he became an Identity Minister.� He studied in the Swift Library, and he approached the Identity message as a� lawyer, thus he searched for facts to back up what hepreached. He was an� ancient history buff and this made his work easier and more fascinating.� Every Thursday for some years, the Swift group went to San Diego for an� evening meeting, then afterthe meeting, they went to the Comparet home for� dinner and theytalked and talked. In comparing the work of both these men� we find that Pastor Comparet lacked the Inspiration we found in the teaching of Dr. Swift but still you found a great message.�� The Book of Revelation is the closet book in the Bible to the Book of Daniel which is also largely symbolic, but which was also explained to� Daniel, and being symbolic there is then no understanding of the Book of� Revelation without some understanding of symbolism. Revelation is history,� past, present, and future, given in symbolism. Here in the Book of� Revelation which is given to John, we find that it is given by YAHSHUA who� is YAHWEH...himself, in the flesh.��

REVELATION CHAPTER ONE��

The first part of this chapter identifies YAHSVHUA. We find that John is� on the Isle of Patmos for the testimony he was to give concerning YAHSHUA..as to who HE was, and His plan for His kingdom and His earth.�� Yahshua identifies His authority by saying (vs:8)...'I Am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last. I am He that Liveth, and was dead. Behold! I� am alive for evermore, and I have the key (understanding) of Hell (the Netherworld) and of death.' In otherwords:..I am YAHWEH‑YAHSHUA, I control� all'. This is also the symbol of the right hand, for it means authority.� Embodied YAHWEH was the 'Son of David'...the first born (embodied) out of� His Race, thus the second Adam. Here He stood in all His Glory and John� fell on his face before this Glory.��

Again:..who is this ONE who is first and last? For this answer we turn� back for conformation to the old testament for this YAHSHUA (Jesus) of the� new Testament is also YAHWEH of the Old Testament, and is talking to the� same race from the Old Testament, thru the New Testament.�� (Isaiah 44:6)..'Thus said YAHWEH, I AM the Last, beside me there is no� God'. I like that identification of YAHWEH, who is YAHSHUA in the flesh,� found in the Ferrah Fenton Bible for it goes like this:....'Who but I, Proclaimed and told'...and then speaking to Israel:..'Ye are� my prophets..no God exists but men, I know no other ROCK.'��

Alright:...then is not YAHSHUA saying here in the Book of Revelation..'I� am Alpha (the first) and Omega (the last) the beginning and the end..which� is, which was, and which is yet to come.' Isn't this YAHSHUA our Saviour...� or YAHWEH in the flesh? YAHWEH (spirit) is the father of all matter, and� YAHSHUA is thus YAH(father) and SHUA (saviour).�� In the Book of Daniel there are some things that are left unexplained for� instance Daniel 12:48...'But thou O Daniel shut up the words, and seal up� the book even to the end. And I heard but I understood not; then said I, O� YAHWEH what shall be the end of these things? But HE said:..go thy way� Daniel for the words are closed up...sealed until the time of the end.'� This was to be a fixed time, and Daniel in his time was not to understand.� But here we stand, we have reached the time for understanding, for in� Revelation 22:10, John was told:..'Seal not the saying of the Prophecies of� this book for the time is at hand'. This book then of Revelation of past,� present and future should outline what we are so much interested in,� especially as the things which happened from the time of John up to and a� bit beyond the coming of YAHSHUA, and the establishing of the� Administration of the Kingdom.�� After the identification of YAHSHUA the first revelation given to John is� in the form of a message given to the seven churches which represent in� symbolism the seven church ages of the Christian church. John saw:..'7� golden candlesticks'..(the correct translation being 7 lamp stands..� something on which a Lamp is placed). In the midst of these 7 lampstands� John saw YAHSHUA in His Glory. YAHSHUA is referred to many times as 'Son of� Man' and you realize this is because He came embodied out of His Race, came� out of the spirit into the physical thus was listed as the Second Adam. He� is head of the kingdom, and sometimes the Kingdom is also identified as� 'son of man' for he is King of the Kingdom.�� There were many cities in that time which had newly established� assemblies of Israelites..called church today. Seven are here singled out,� and 7 is a symbolic number, it is Adam's number, it also means perfection.� 777 is the Adamic Race perfected, with the Kingdom Administration in place.� These seven cities are thus singled out to represent the church ages that� Israel would pass thru. They are entitled:..1. Ephesus� 2. Smyrna� 3.� Pergamos� 4. Thyatira� 5. Sardis� 6. Philadelphia, and 7. Laodicea.��

Now; as you notice Rome is not mentioned even tho Rome claims they were� the first christian church, and that Peter was the first Bishop which is� also not true. This Revelation was given to John, not to Peter. The� earliest of the writers of the church age told us that these 7 churches� were the symbols of the Seven ages of the Christian church. Today we see� that this has been true and here we stand hopefully at the end of the� Laodicean church age.�� In his description of YAHSHUA and as to what he saw, then John says that� out of the mouth of YAHSHUA came WORDS like a sharp 2‑edged Sword. For the� meaning of this turn to Hebrews 4:12..and remember this book is written to� Our Race. 'The word of YAHWEH is quicker, powerful and sharper than any two� edged Sword'. Thus in symbolism the two‑edged Sword is Truth, and authority� found in HIS WORD. John saw YAHSHUA in His Glory shinning like the Sun. And� YAHSHUA had also allowed some of His disciples to see him in HIS Glory� (Matthew 17:2). He was just making sure that here with John that you� understand that HE (YAHSHUA) had the authority to give this revelation, for� HE is YAHWEH and when embodied HE is YAHSHUA, the ONE and only God. HE is� not three people, there is not trinity here, just spirit, soul and body.� And you the Adamic Race the first out of deity to live in flesh bodies...� are also spirit, soul, and body.�� In Revelation 1:20, YAHSHUA then explains the symbolism further for you,� these seven stars are the messengers to the seven church ages, to these 7� lamp stands which are the symbols of the 7 church ages. There are of course� many orders of Angels, as Dr. Swift told us, and Michael the Prince of� Space is perhaps the greatest of the Guardian Angels, for he stood for the� children of YAHWEH long ago. (Daniel 12:1) However there are 7 Angels� mentioned here, one for each church age, thus telling us what each church� age was to be like. Ferrah Fenton explains the lamp stands instead of� Candlesticks, and Zechariah 4:2, tells of this Lamp stand with the Lamp on� top, thus YAHSHUA picks up the symbolism of the Old Testament and carries� it forward into the Book of Revelation. The Olive Tree remember is Israel,� and the witnesses therefore come from Israel..'Ye are my witnesses' (Isaiah� 4:3) Then the two witnesses of Revelation (11) must be church and state, or� spiritual center of the Kingdom, and the Administration of the Kingdom� found also in Israel.�� Now; there must be some source of Light for Israel when embodied thus� they list the Priesthood and a Tabernacle, and a Temple, as well as the� Prophets in the Old Testament. Symbolically since the lamps put out Light they must have Oil, and that brings the symbolism of Light..Truth..as Oil,� which comes from the Spirit. In reality then the Prophets and Priests of� the Old Testament, and the true ministers of today are the source of Light� which is knowledge and understanding for the children of the kingdom. They� receive this message from the spirit, the mind of YAHWEH‑YAHSHUA, and it is� to go forth to Israel. Thru blindness they may not hear, but it is still to� go forth until an appointed time when 'all Israel' shall be saved. This is� not going to hell, some place of torture, but saved from following the lead� of the devil and his children.��

REVELATION CHAPTER TWO��

This message then carries the message for each of the seven church� ages:.. and unto the church of Ephesus HE says:..'I know thy work, and thy� labor, thy patience, and those who say they are Apostles and are not.' Here� in this first church age Israel was to labor for His Name, still it seems� they have lost their first love, meaning the eagerness which they first� had. Notice that even here in this very first church age, some of the� dedication has already been lost, but at least they are still resisting the� Heirachie and False Priests who are trying to move into the church to� change its doctrines.�� Ephesus was in Asia Minor, this would be in the area of Turkey today.� Ephesus was a city of commerce, and at one time was a Hittite city, then� the Persians took this city, and later Alexander the Great came and took� the city for Greece. Then much later Rome took the city and it was a part� of the Roman Empire at the time John wrote. It became the third largest� city with followers of YAHSHUA, Jerusalem, and Corinth.��

When the Apostle Paul was in Ephesus scripture tells us that there was a� great temple there for the goddess Diana. From old records this was in the� beginning an Asian goddess from old Babylon, by the name of Ishtar. However� by the time of the Apostle Paul, this temple of Diana was now a Roman� Goddess. Evil however is always from the same source, and here at the� temple of Ishtar or Diana, was practiced all the evil of sexual orgies, and� prostitution found in India and Babylon in their Temple services.��

Now we know approximately when this church age started..with The Christ,� and some it ended about the time John wrote the Book of Revelation, say� about 96 or 98 A.D.� We find that the age just merged from one into the� other, with an overlapping both ways. But for the beginning of Christianity ..Our Faith..then all the Old Testament teaching, by Moses was the� beginning of the emergence of the Law, however Adam and Eve were looking� forward to this same Redeemer so it started with Our Race. YAHSHUA always� said:...'Look to the scripture you already have'..the story is there. and� after the Resurrection then His followers finally saw what He had been� telling them, and they went out with enthusiasm to tell people that..yes ..this YAHSHUA was YAHWEH in the flesh. But as persecution came, and the� Apostles and Disciples were killed the next wave of followers would not be� quite as enthusiastic for already False Priests were moving in, and the� Light (Truth) would become dim right from the first, and the Christian� church..the outward organization was in trouble from the beginning. As the� Apostles were killed the meaning of the symbols was gradually lost, where� as you could talk to Israel in symbolism in the beginning they would� recognize it, even tho they not always understood, still in the Old �Testament the ritual of sacrifice, the law, all pointed to the coming� Redeemer.��

In the Book of Acts the Apostles themselves were working to weed out all� the false teaching which had already crept into the peoples lives thru the� takeover of their religion by Judaism. Thus YAHSHUA in the first message to� this first church age said:..You have tried to weed out those false� teachers but in the process your first love (of this truth) has weakened.��

The Nicolatians:..there is no record in the scripture of a sect called� Nicolatines. This comes from two Greek words meaning to 'triumph' over� laity, that False Priests who became leaders over the laity of the church� were still resisted and the people of Israel were trying to resist these� False Priests.��

Going back further into ancient history, you find these False Priests of� Satan's kingdom who always fought the children of YAHWEH'S kingdom, so of� course you would expect them to be trying to move into the spiritual center� of the kingdom symbolized as the church.�� Here is the message to the church age called Smyrna...and with the church� still under intense persecution, yet still trying to do its work, we find� in our Bible that it says..'those who are Jews and are not'...meaning those� who say they are of the tribe of Judah and are not, but are of the� household of Satan, are hindering the teaching of this church age. In this� age many of the followers of The Christ would be cast into prison, and go� thru all sorts of tribulation, but the message to them was:..'Be Faithful� to your Faith, and remember that you have Eternal Life'. He has redeemed� you, and restored you to Eternal Life. No more waiting in the Netherworld� for you of the Kingdom, that is now behind us, as we move toward the final� step of 'on earth as it is in Heaven'. Up to 64 A.D., the persecution came� from the Jews only and this mainly came from the leadership from Jerusalem.� But that ended and the persecution reached out from the Roman Empire now� under the influence of International Monetary men which had their� headquarters on the Isle of Pergamos. The Emperor of the Roman Empire was� now being influenced just like Nimrod in Old Babylon, and Emperor worship� was pushed here in Rome. Christians worshiped only ONE God, thus the� persecution by Rome began and this was to make many martyrs. YAHSHUA� reminds His people here in the second church age that...'He arose from the� dead', that HE redeemed this people, and even tho they become Martyrs for� HIS Name, still they would be restored. Also here it mentions tribulation� of 10 days. We know a day was a year in prophecy so would this be 10� consecutive years, or something else? (We believe both). We know from Roman� records that the persecution was based on ten edicts posted against the� followers of The Christ, and they were then carried out by 10 different� Emperors started by Nero in 64 A.D., the last ten years was 303 A.D., to 313� A.D., and those were the most vicious years altho persecution was severe in� all those years. We also know that there is a significance in the number� ten, and according to ancient Israel Doctrines this persecution continues� in some form until the coming of the Administration of the Kingdom, (no.� 10) is established.�� Then Constantine came to power and he recognized Christianity as a� religion, and this stopped much of the persecution. Oh, it did not stop the� pagan religions being pushed but in 330 A.D., Constantine made Christianity� the official religion of the Roman Empire.�� The message to the church age of Pergamos (Revelation 2:13‑14) reminds us� that this Island of Pergamos was the seat of the International money� exchange. Having moved out of Old Babylon it was established on the Isle of� Pergamos. Then from this Island they reached out for control of the Roman� Empire. This was the situation even in the days of the early church, and� with Nero the Emperor of Rome they had great influence. This Island of� Pergamos was also a city of merchants, and in 235 B.C., it was already a� great city.��

Then some of the Israelites who had settled in France came back thinking� to retake Palestine in one of the many crusades of this sort. These� Israelites were now called gauls, and when they came back into this area of� Asia Minor then King Atlas of Pergamos defeated the Gual's in 235 B.C.��

Paul later wrote to the galatians, for he knew who the Gual's were, and he� wrote to those in France and those who settled in the Asia Minor area� during many of the crusades. but here on Pergamos the Yehudin (Jews) who had fled from Babylon established their economic headquarters, and here on� Pergamos was a center of worship of 'Esclesia‑the healer', He was so great� that they built a shrine for him, and a school of medicine, and the� 'serpent' was the emblem of Escelsia. Today you have the symbol on the� medical staff...the medical profession as a staff and two serpents wound� around it, and it is called the Cadussa. We have explained this emblem� before so will not go into that now, but in those days then Esclesia‑the� healer, with the symbol of the serpent was a great religious shrine.

The worship of Esclesia was a ritual of sexual orgies, thus these rulers of� ancient Babylon were right at home on the Isle of Pergamos. They also� brought with them to Pergamos the title of Pontiff, signifying the greatest� of Priests. This was transferred to Rome as the Pope of the Papacy.� Gradually this was enlarged with the establishment of the Cardinals and so� forth, like in ancient Babylon. All these things Paganism were being merged� with Christianity at Rome.��

Now; remember that YAHSHUA COMBINED INTO ONE..THE OFFICE OF Priest and� King, who is head of the kingdom, thus Satan of course would also try to� form a counterfeit, and like Nimrod of Babylon the rulers of Rome would be� persuaded to proclaim themselves as gods, under the influence of the False� Priests and demand that people worship them.��

Antapas is called a Martyr, but we find no other tracing of just one� individual, however there were many Martyr's in this church age. The� Martyr's were the followers of the RISEN Christ, who resisted this� increasing power of the Pontiff, and all False things being brought into� the Christian religion. In those days there was a great scramble to get� people into the church,and we find this carries over today even if you have� to give up a little truth to bring them in, and change the names of old� pagan holidays to Easter and Christmas..still that is O.K.��

The Israelites of the church age of Pergamos were told that they held to� the teachings of Galaam which was a stumbling block even to Israelites, of� old for it was leading them into adultery. Here also was this doctrine of� the Nicolaitans, those False Priests. The last King of Pergamos then left� his title of Pontiff to the Roman Empire at Rome, and the false teaching� and power moved on, and even pagan gods became saints of that church of� Rome. This leads a lot of people into trouble, and lots of trouble for the� church, but see what happened to the doctrine of the true church. Oh! they� still taught the belief that Jesus was God come in the flesh, but there was� also both false and true now combined into this supposedly christian� church.��

Now; the first 4 church ages are also symbolized by this message to the� church of Thyatira:..'I know thy works, and charity, and service, faith,� and patience'. Thus the servants labored on trying to maintain their Faith,� and even to expand, but here in this age...'You have allowed that woman...� Jezebel..to teach, to seduce my servants, to commit fornication'..and so� forth. Remember that Ahab the King of Israel had married a Jewess of the� hill country, and she brought in False Priests? Many times the faith or� church in Israel is symbolized as a woman, and here in this age also is� False Priests, and false teaching in the church misleading the Israelites..� the true church.�� But to those of the true church in this age then YAHSHUA says:..'just� hang onto what you have for I will put no other burden on you'. Just hold� fast to what you know which at this time was that the Saviour had come, and� redeemed Israel.�� The Ancient city of Thyatira was a commercial city, and had many pagan� gods and temples, and they had a pagan trade guild here which was sort of a� social club with people coming from all over the world. At the great� banquets, they reclined on couches, and after much wine most banquets ended� in orgies. And the symbol here is of Jezebel, for Israel was being led into� idolatry and paganism as they took part in the affairs of this city.� Gradually they were being taught; just remember what a follower of Christ is� supposed to now, then you can do these things that others do, then come� back and ask for forgiveness. This fourth church age was from approximately� 630 A.D., to 1130 A.D., and persecution had all but stopped, outwardly, but� the infiltration of the church was growing stronger and stronger. In other� words here they were going backward in their religious service to the time� when Jesus said:..'In vain do they worship me using the doctrines of men'.� Here in this age of the organized church, then time was given for the woman� (Israel) to repent, but she did not. Instead the Pope was now extending his� power where later Mohammed was to say:..'This is pure idolatry'.�� REVELATION CHAPTER THREE��

In the 5th., church age symbolized as to what was said to the church of� Sardis:..'Thus saith the 7 fold spirit of YAHWEH:..(remember seven means� perfection) I know thy works, that thou hast a name that liveth; and art� dead. Be watchful, strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to� die, I have not found thy work perfect'. Here were some of the followers� who would hold fast, be overcomers, would resist the evil of their world.�

Dr. Swift always said:..'Once an Israelite, always an Israelite, and the� message in verse 5 is to Israel..Your name cannot be blotted out of the� book of Life'..Oh! you reap what you sow, but you reap in the field in� which you sow. You may even have things to do later which you were� supposed to do in this time when you walked here in earth. If so that is in� the hands of our Redeemer.�� But back in that time say about 1517 A.D., the people were still trying� to keep that which was good in the church and to throw out the evil which� had crept in and was almost to overwhelm it, but they weren't having to� much luck. The Protestant reformation thus was coming and it didn't really� start with Martin Luther and Germany, for it actually started with Wycliff� in England. Wycliff lived 1320 to 1384 A.D., and he taught philosophy at� the University of Oxford, England.��

The Pope of Rome was always demanding more and more tribute from the� churches in England leaving not enough for their kings, so in 1374 King� James had the Bible translated into English. (Of the 165 men that did the translating, 65 were Jews). Wycliff was teaching that you could not buy� salvation. It was free, so you did not need to pay all that tribute to� Rome. You see Rome was under the guidance of the False Priests, and they� taught..yes, Jesus died for you, but that didn't do the job. Now you also� had to buy your way to heaven thru the church of course or else you ended� up in some place of torture. Most of the people only knew what their� Priests taught them, so they had no way of finding out what the Bible did� teach, couldn't read or understand it even if they had a Bible. But now� here is Wycliff teaching differently and his writings were spreading into� Europe, and people were learning. Well of course...Wycliff was called a �hieratic, and the Hierachy of the church said he must be stopped or their� work would go down the drain. Well, Wycliff was finally burned at the� stake; but that did not stop his teaching. But the split with the Roman� Catholic church grew and Martin Luther came forth as the leader of this� split.� Still today in the Catholic church at communion, the people get a little� wafer of bread, not with wine which signifies you are redeemed by His� Blood, only the Priests get the wine. But the communion...the bread and the� wine came back to Israel with the Protestant reformation.

�� Martin Luther was jolted as he realized how far the Roman church had come� from the teaching of the Apostles. The Pope sent out to Germany for money� for indulgences, to get people thru purgatory, and was doing in Germany� what he had done in England, and Martin Luther called attention to those� things which Rome was teaching which ought not to be in the church of� Israel. Martin Luther was outlawed for his teaching, and was on their hit� list. He went to the city of Worms to defend his teaching. He was promised� a safe passage, but of course the Heirachie of the church never kept any of� their promises, instead they planned to kill him. His friends knew of the� plot, and they kidnapped Martin Luther, and took him to a safe place. Then� since the Roman church would not clean up their mistakes, Protestantism� came into being. It came to France where it spread fast. The name� Protestant was coined in France, but it also brought war between the� Protestants and the Catholics..thus war between the two factions of what� was called the Christian Faith. No longer was the Heirachie against� leadersers, but this developed into a war between individuals... Catholic� people against Protestant people.��

The King of France was Charles IX, and he was married to a Jewess of the� Demetic family, and he granted toleration to the Hugonats of France in 1570� A.D., but here you had a ruler of Israel once again married to a Jewess,� and this would bring down that Royal House. The 'Coat of Arms' of the� Demetic family was 3 golden balls. This family and one other Jewish family� were furnishing Poses for the church of Rome. These families were of the� 'Assassins'....and you remember those families from India with Kali. This� was their stock in trade. Thus the word moved out to all Catholic churches� in France, and there then occurred a great Massacre of Protestants. Pastor� Comparet traced his ancestry back to the survivors of this civil war in� France between the Catholic and Protestant people. The Catholics were being� told that the greatest thing they could do for their church was to murder� Protestants who were heretics. One night in France the Catholic people under� the guidance of Jewish Heirachie of their church went out to murder the� white Protestants.�� Here you see how Satan works, first he gets you to hate and then to kill� each other, but love every other race in the world. That night there in� France, Catholic christians murdered Protestant Christians...men, women and� children, and the Pope issued a medal for this great triumph of the church� of St. Bartholomew.�� In 1685...Henry the V'th., sent his troops out to murder Protestant� Huguenots, and those who survived fled from France. England was also having� a bad time, and the reformation was running into problems in England, but� actually it was MONEY which was moving the King of England. There was no� principal of religion involved. People were then burned at the stake in all� the western nations touched by the false Hierarchy of Rome, under the� domination of the International Money System. Ireland has had a bad time� also under their English conquerors, but Ireland has also been a battle� ground between Catholics and Protestants...still is today...thus who keeps� stirring this situation?��

It is estimated that the Roman Catholic church in those trying years from� 604 A.D., to 1504 A.D., murdered from 40 to 60 million people. But my� goodness today all you hear about is 6 million Jews that Hitler was� supposed to have murdered. Even Stalin out did Hitler, for Stalin murdered� 17 million Christians to begin with. Just remember the most intense� persecution of followers of The Christ took place under the Papacy in that� era. This is however no condemnation of the people, for they only knew what� their False Priests taught them.��

The sixth church age was symbolized by the message given to the church of� Philadelphis..the meaning of Philadelphia is of course..'brothers loving� each other'..all Israelites are brothers. This message is given by YAHSHUA� 'Who is Holy..Is true..who has the key of David'. This is of course the� lineage thru which YAHSHUA came as embodied Saviour, and now HE thru the� Protestant Reformation opens a door, and no man will be allowed to close� this door. HE said:..'this church, the true church in this 6th., church age� has little strength left, but they have kept HIS word, and not denied HIS� Name.' Then HE said:..'Behold I will make them who are of the Synagogue of� Satan who say they are of Judah and are not..I will make them to come and� worship at thy feet, and to know that I have loved you'. HE also promised� to deliver from temptation, and reserve the unjust until the day of� Judgment. (II Peter 2:9) There is then yet to come a time upon all the� world to try them that dwell in earth, and this Philadelphia church age� carried the message of the true church, the one that will last, and will� run side by side even in the next or the Laodicean age, and then will emerge triumphant for no man can shut the door that YAHSHUA(Christ)� opened.��

Now; this ancient city of Philadelphia was also a city on the trade� routes of the east. It also was situated on a fault line and earthquakes� would shake it many times, signifyin that this church age would see a� great shaking.�� If you noticed there was only two church ages that were not criticized,� these were Smyrna and Philadelphia..but here in the Philadelphia church age� we find the 'Open Door' and in Revelation 10:1‑11, we see a mighty Angel� holds an open book in his hand. We say this was the Bible being published� in English, for this became the 'open door' to the people as individuals.� As long as the church kept this door open then Protestantism flourished.��

Now; Philadelphia means Brotherly Love, and Israel was to 'dwell alone'� ...your neighbor thus was one of your race. If you let your guard down, if� you forget this, pretty soon you are back in trouble, and our people are� following strange gods. Always this happens to Israel, when they don't obey� that order to dwell alone. Then 'Hold fast which thou hast, that no man� take thy crown'. Hold fast, and you carry forward the name of New Jerusalem� which cometh down out of heaven.

�� This Laodicean church age which we are in today began in the late 1800's� and modernism crept in until today the church..this outward symbol today is� 'Neither hot nor cold, and because it is neither hot nor cold, then YAHSHUA� says he will spew thee out of His mouth'.�� The organized church in this age became wealthy in material goods, even� joined the Usuary money system, and concentrates on material things, even� joins saying:..'You cannot buy for me..gold tried in the fire'. Dr. Swift� interpreted this as...if you resist Satan, turn not to the world order then� you are as gold tried in the fire. This is Israel going thru the� tribulations of earth. You find when you heat Gold that the good settles to� the bottom, that the dross rises to the top, and can be skimmed off. � Thus� the church..the spiritual center of the kingdom is tried in the fire of� tribulation, then the false will rise, and will be seen for what it is, and� will be destroyed allowing the true church to rise, then my friends you are� in the kingdom age. But you cannot buy this, for it is the program of� YAHWEH‑YAHSHUA for his earth, and it will come to pass in spite of all� Satan and his children do. 'As many as I love I rebuke and chasten', so we� will make mistakes but there is forgiveness, and repentance for Israel as� she realizes she is off the track.��

Now; the literal city of Laodicea was near Corinth, and is total ruins� today. But II Timothy 3:1‑5, describes the last days of this Laodicean age:� ..'For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud,� blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural� affection, truce breakers, false accusers, incompetent, traitors, high minded, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of YAHSHUA, having a form of� Godliness, but denying the power thereof.'��

Alright does that sound like today?� Here in verse 20 we read:..'Behold!� I stand at the door and knock'. People say:..'My isn't that nice, Jesus is� standing here knocking so just turn and accept HIM and you will be saved'.� But this message is to the Laodicean church age, and he is standing� knocking on the door of the Laodicean church. Here in this time of� Humanism, Modernism, they don't need HIM, for man had decided what the� program of God should be. They are just letting him stand outside, for if� HE came in he would upset things, for HE wouldn't go along with this� Humanist, social doctrine. They have forgotten YAHWEH'S timetable, lots of� ministers in this church age of Laodicea have degrees in Divinity, but no� understanding of scripture, yet they think they don't need anything else.�

To me some say:..why learn all these things? We have such a wonderful way� for Salvation, why learn more? They don't understand the difference� between Redemption and Salvation, and know nothing about the program of the� kingdom. Therefore to this church age is the promise that He will spew it out of� His mouth. Why not...after all in the 60's we even heard that God is dead.� And here today some heads of churches even deny HIS Deity, and know nothing� about your destiny. but as this church age falls then from within rises the� true church, and finds it's place in government of the Kingdom. The true� church started about 2000 years ago as an organization, and has undergone� persecution in all ages, some worse than others, so what has not been� fulfilled in these first three chapters of Revelation? Here now in late� 1980's we see T.V. Evangelists are in trouble, moneywise, and the regular� denominations as well. Even the little churches here in our town are� struggling to raise the funds necessary to keep going in their present� style. In the past ten to fifteen years they built new buildings and now� the money is scarce to support this present life style.��

We have yet to see the emergence of the true church with all errors� removed...and Satan's program finished. When that day arrives you will see� the administration ofthe Kingdom of YAHWEH in place, first in the west and� then all over the world. This is what we are looking for and wondering...� when YAHWEH will bring it to pass, and what part in this administration� will we be asked to play. We are watching the signs in the sky and� wondering if they have a message for us.��

REVELATION CHAPTER FOUR��

In this fourth chapter the message is altogether different and yet it� is still identification. A door is opened into heaven..the spiritual world� as we would say, and John see's there a throne, and YAHSHUA is sitting on� that throne. Alright:..John's eyes are opened, and he is allowed to step� into the spiritual dimension for an Identity message to give to Israel. And� not only does John see YAHSHUA on the throne but around the throne are� these 24 elders, and they now have crowns of gold on their heads, and there� are also 7 lamps before the throne, and around this throne were these four� Living Creatures we have seen before. The Lion, the Eagle, the Man and the� Bull, and it is here translated as tho they were beasts but the Greek word� was that they were Living Creatures. What we see here is the throne with� our King of Kings sitting on that throne. He is described as like a Jasper,� and a Sardine stone. The Jasper stone was the first stone in the High� Priests Breastplate in Ancient Israel, and the Sardine stone was the last� stone there, so again HE tells you that HE is the 'First and the Last...� Alpha, and Omega'.��

As John describes this picture he says that it looked like there was a� rainbow around the throne, and the throne itself was like an Emerald, and of course the Emerald is green...photo‑synthesis of Light, chlorophyll� makes things grow. Ezekiel saw this throne also with a rainbow around it.��

The 24 Elders were clothed in white raiment, and they had Golden Crowns� on their heads. What does this bring to mind from the promises made to� Israel? 12 Patriarchs..the head of each tribe of Israel, and the promise to them that they shall be Judges over Israel, and of course the 12 Apostles,� and remember that Jesus promised them that they would be Supreme Court� Justices in the Administration of the Kingdom. (Matthew 19:28)�

'Wow' we� might get some where with that kind of a Supreme Court. I do not know� whether they will be embodied or behind the scene advisors to those who� serve in the government of the kingdom, but either way it would be� wonderful. Remember the promise that if you are an overcomer there is a� Crown of Gold. These 24 Elders have served their lifetime in the flesh, and� have thus won their white Raiment and Crowns. In otherwords they are back� home in the Kingdom of Heaven ready for service that their Father has yet� for them to do in this rescue of earth from Satan's kingdom.�� Before the throne John sees what looks like a 'sea of glass' unto him,� like Crystal. This is an effulgent Glory like Shekinah Glory, and again we� see that he stresses that there is those 4 Living Creatures.

In the� prophecy of Ezekiel when the great ships of YAHWEH came in those same 4� Living Creatures were what Ezekiel saw, they were the same...the Lion, the� Calf or Bull, the Man, and the Eagle. They were described as having eyes� before and behind, thus protectors of the throne, and look all directions.� These 4 protectors have 6 Wings about them.��

Alright the symbolism here is of the marching orders of Israel (Numbers� 2) for each house of Israel had a banner or ensign which they carried as� well as the ensign of Israel. On the East side of the Tabernacle marched� the tribe of Judah in the center with the ensign of the Lion flying the� highest. On the West marched the tribe of Ephraim in the center with the� ensign of the Bull flying the highest. On the South marched the tribe of� Reuben in the center with the ensign of the Man flying the highest. And on� the North in the center marched the tribe of Dan with the emblem of the� Eagle flying the highest. We then remember there were 6 wings on each side,� but we now know that on each side of the Tabernacle marched the other� tribes of Israel. This is an identification of a people now on the face of� the earth and since they came out of spirit into earth, being YAHWEH'S� kingdom the other wings are of course identifying the marching orders of� the other tribes of Israel...3 tribes on each side of the Tabernacle with 6� wings on a side.�� REVELATION CHAPTER FIVE��

In the right hand, which is a symbol of authority, we see YAHWEH as� YAHSHUA sitting on the throne, and now a scroll which is sealed with 7� seals is in his hand. No one could read what was inside these scrolls until� the seals were broken. John then wonders as does the angels who would be� able to read these scrolls after the seals are opened.�� Again this is a chapter of Identification as you now see the Lion of the� tribe of Judah..with a connection of David..and the four beasts around the� throne..and so forth. Here you will see things already passed that were in� the program of YAHWEH for the restoration of earth. How the fall of Adam� and Eve would bring forth the program calling for a Redeemer, and then how� HE came, embodied out of the tribe of Judah, the House of David, and the� tribe of Judah of course carried the symbol of the LION. Of course YAHSHUA� fulfilled that prophecy, and now he can open these 7 seals. Here in� symbolism you see a lamb and Israel is called the sheep of his Pasture.� There was a Shepherd of the sheep, a sheepfold and all those things. This� symbolism is also carried out in the Star Bible, and Scripture tells us� that YAHSHUA‑Jesus is the Lamb slain before the foundation of the world,� all this is simply in the program of the Kingdom.��

Remember the message to the church age symbolized as the Church of� Sardis, and the 7 Stars? Here the symbolism is carried forward telling the� story of Scripture, beginning in the heavens, of the redemption on earth,� as the Lamb is slain who was of course YAHSHUA. Tells of the Atonement� which had been made and now He is back on the throne in the heavens, and� now is able to open the seals. You are also to remember that as YAHSHUA� came into the city of Jerusalem the day the Israelites would have crowned� Him King, they were referring to HIM as the Son of David, from the line of Judah.��

Those of Israel, the 4 Living Creatures, the 24 Elders fall down and� worship YAHSHUA..the spotless Lamb who has Redeemed Israel. They are� singing this song of redemption because he as HIS BLOOD is shed, Redeemed� (vs.9) 'All Israel' who had been scattered. Oh, they speak different� languages, and are now scattered into different nations, but HE knew where� they were. HE set us back into our position as his family, for we thru the� Kingdom Administration are to reign on earth. The last part of this chapter� has not as yet been fulfilled, for when it is time for this prophecy...� every knee shall bow..in heaven, in earth, under the sea, and in the� Netherworld. Every one will proclaim that YAHSHUA is YAHWEH come in the� flesh, that He was the Lamb who was slain, but who also holds all� authority. This will be with the government of the Kingdom completely in� control all over the earth.��

Now;...the 7 horns, 7 eyes, 7 spirits of verse six..this is talking...� signifying all the fullness of Intellectual power..or God Almighty Himself,� Perfection in all areas.��

REVELATION CHAPTER SIX��

YAHSHUA takes the scroll and opened the first seal. We are not told what� was written on the scroll, but as the seal is removed we see some events� taking place, and this is described also in symbolism.�� Pastor Comparet being as we said a lawyer, saw these events as periods of� literal history in the time of the Roman Empire. Dr. Swift then saw these 7� happenings as things which would beset the Kingdom. I find that usually a� literal meaning can be found so that you then can search for a deeper� meaning, and of course Dr. Swift was always trying to find that deeper� meaning, and outlining what would happen to the Kingdom. After all that was� Dr. Swift's mission in earth, to teach the story of the Gospel of the� Kingdom. I am but trying to combine these two views as to what John saw.��

First John saw a White Horse, and he who sat on him had a bow, but notice� ..no arrows. And a Crown was given to him and he went forth conquering, and� to conquer. Dr. Comparet would see this as a symbol of the Roman Empire� expanding, and history bears this out as a literal truth..in time. Dr.� Swift saw this horse as symbolizing much, much more. In this period of� time, in this church age, there were different Emperors, but the work of� Satan's children would be directed against the Faith of the Kingdom as well� as the literal children of the kingdom. For history of a part of that� period then do read the book:...'The fall of the Roman Empire'..while� remembering that what actually brought down the Empire was the bringing in� of the African black people to do the work, and then of course race mixing� occurred.��

When this first seal is opened, it is plain that the power behind it is simply the International Bankers of Pergamos with their money..moving� Emperors and nations like dominoes on a game board. This rider on the white� horse is thus given a bow...BUT NO ARROWS..which would signify 'Truth'. The� white horse also symbolized a false Peace...under a white flag, as you try� to negotiate agreements with the enemy. Always when the enemy wants you to� give up something they set up, false Peacedemonstrations, and entice� people with this idea of Peace..Peace..when there is no Peace. Here in our� time the Peace movements are used so you will not resist the ONE WORLD� Government which is simply Satan's rule over the earth. This is not� something new, it has always been a continuing process, the false doctrines� are being fed into your Faith as well.��

Next the Second seal is opened, and out comes a Red Horse (power), and to� him is given power to take Peace from the world. This brings a great sword� ..people killing people, close fighting. Remember that the church age had� climaxed with Catholic's killing Protestants on pressure from the Papacy� under influence from non‑Israel Priest's in that end of that church age.��

Now; Peace on earth comes with the Prince of Peace, and his kingdom� ruling over the earth with a 'Rod of Iron' meaning total Justice. Peace� cannot be obtained by joining the World Order. But in the period of time symbolized here in chapter 6..the International money manipulators are a� great influence over the Roman Empire, and over the Papacy as they moved� their headquarters from Pergamos to Vienna. From there they sent to Asia to� bring the Mongrel hoards against Christendom in Western Europe. Being� unable to stop the expansion of the Kingdom of YAHWEH by infiltrating their� faith they had turned to having catholics fighting Protestants, and when� that did not work they turned to the Asia Hoards of Genghis Kahn, and� gathered them and sent them westward. Then Jews wearing Yellow Arm Bands� would open the gates of the cities under attack, and point out places to be� plundered, thus protecting their own interests.��

Later in this church age of our day we saw the U.N. set in place as a� false Peace Organization with no arrows, but those behind the scene would� set Communism in place and bring it against you as a Red Horse symbol.�

Remember Jesus said the 'Tares' would grow with the wheat, but at the end� of the age they will be above the wheat. Remember that wheat bends its head� at harvest time, so there stands the 'tares' above the wheat, and they were� to turn Red at the end of the age.�� From history we trace the coming of Genghis Khan, and his mongol hoards� against the Christian west. For more information read the books of Harold� Lamb about Genghis Khan..who was used by the International Bankers. In the� Christian West the fighting between Catholic and Protestant was stopped as� both turned to stop the hoards coming out of Asia. Later we would see the� start of the Illuminati..patterned after the ancient Israel organization,� but this would be Satan's program to harass the kingdom people.

Remember� that Alexander the Great had looked over the mountains and decided that the Asiatic Hoards were so many that they would overwhelm the White Race in the� west so better not stir them up. But nevertheless they were there, and the� enemy would do the stirring and bring them against the expanding Christian� west.��

Next YAHSHUA opened the third seal and out came a Black Horse with a� rider who held a pair of balances in his hand. And the voice in the midst� of the 4 symbols of Israel said:..'A measure (a little over a quart) for a� penny'. This Penny was a Roman coin worth about 24 cents...'See that thou� hurt not the oil and the wine'.�� Here the rider has no crown, so he is not an Emperor, or a ruler. The� block horse is thus a symbol of depressions and gloom, thus the money� manipulators are consolidating their hold on the lives of Israel at that� time in history. The coinage of money was done, but much trade goods at� that time moved on payment of gold bars which had to be weighed. And Taxes� were paid even with wheat, or grain or oil. Everything had to be weighed� so there were tax collectors everywhere. If you thought you were the only� ones who ever paid taxes forget it, this is a process that Satan dreamed up� for his kingdom people are parasites, they life off of you in that way.�� Oil is a symbol of Light to the earth, and the damage to Light is to be� controlled here so that your Faith will not be blotted out. Wine is a� symbol of HIS Blood in the communion, thus hinder it not from flowing. On� the other side of the picture, wine was a great crop, and it also was taken� in payment for taxes, and it is also used to fog men's minds, making them� addicted to that way of life, making it easier to keep them under control.��

Now; the fourth seal:...'Out came a Pale Horse, and the name of he who sat on the horse was death, and hell followed him, and power was given unto� them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with the sword, and hunger,� and death, and with the beasts of earth.' During the period of history when the Roman Empire was going thru great� tribulation this brought great trouble to the people, the sword, hunger,� death by plagues, and even in outlying areas wild beasts roamed and came� against the people. But you know also that the Asiatics are light skinned,� but still not as the Adamic man who can blush. And always your enemy has� thrown the Asiatics at the Christians. After Genghis Kahn then came the� Caesar Jews, these people are of the Asiatic Caesar kingdom where they had� accepted Judaism as their religion about 900 A.D.� Much later then these� people began their migrations to the west. Here then came Asiatics of a� mixed racial heritage, and now under the leadership of International� Zionism they are proclaiming they are the 'Chosen People' of the Book! At� this time we are in what is termed as Jacob's trouble and we had W.W.I. and� W.W.II. and Vietnam, and Korea. Communism is of course Atheistic, and� Joseph Stalin under this system would kill 17 million Christians in the� very beginning, because they would not deny their Faith. These people were� starved, as they confisticated their food, they were pulled in too, boiled� in oil, any way they could devise to torture them because of their� Christian Faith. When all this did not stop the White Race then as always� the program to mongrelize our race was tried. The Scripture tells you of� the Beasts of the field (world) and Job told you of the dark and curly �haired ones he tried to treat as he thought they should be treated. It� didn't work, for him, and he found because you do not mix races here on� earth or you have chastisement coming. Not because God is mad at you, but� because HE is God and HIS Law when kept is best for you and for the world.��

We have always thought that the last part of the vision of George� Washington was this attack on our Faith, and the setting in place of YAHSHUA and His Kingdom...these called Jews, as the 'chosen people'. Twas� seen as Washington watched, as the most severe attack on our Faith.��

Now; the 5th., seal...and under the altar are the souls of those that are� slain for the word of god, and for this testimony they carried, that� YAHSHUA was YAHWEH in the flesh, the ONE and only GOD.�� It seems that in this program for earth that there was a definite time� when Christianity was to be preached, and this also would be a time of� severe persecution, and many would become Martyrs. Those under the Altar� then cried:..'How long before you bring judgment upon the earth and avenge� the blood of your children which has been spilt upon the earth.' The answer� was that they rest a little while longer because there would be more� martyrs coming to join them. This martyrdom was a continuing thing.

How� many more will be made even in our own land as the traitors of our� government sell us out..I do not know.�� As the seal is opened 'there is a great earthquake, the sun is said to� become as black as sack cloth, and the moon became as blood, and the stars� of heaven fell into the earth even as a fig tree casteth its untimely figs� when she is shaken by a mighty wind. The heavens departed as a scroll when� it is rolled together, and every mountain, and island were moved out of� their place. And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich� men, and the Captains, the mighty men, and every bonds man and every free� man hid themselves in the Rocks of the mountains, in the caves, and said to� the rocks..fall on us and hide us from the face of HE who sits on the� throne..from the face of the Lamb.��

Alright...Pastor Comparet suggested this was literally the great fall of� the Roman Empire. As it fell there was quite a crash and of course the� Roman Empire was the world power of her day. But remember, this book is� written in symbolism. The stars falling from haven did not mean literal� stars bigger than our solar system fell to earth. In symbolism this is the� Hierarchies of the organized church who set themselves as the sun, or the� light of our Faith. Thus they fall, and the sun (Light) becomes dark, and� the light reflection dims, and the moon looks more red.�� Literal Earthquakes (or shaking of earth) like a volcano going off puts� debris in the atmosphere and it also produces the same effect on the light� of the sun and moon. Sometimes when a city is burning and the moon rises,� or a forest is on fire, and the moon will be the color of blood.��

We find in any age that there were people who are deeply sincere, and� others who just go along for the ride. Oh, they go to church..it is just a� habit, they might see someone there who they could impress, or sell� something too, it is after all the fashionable thing to do. Then there� comes a time in this Laodicean church age when we have had enough of this� and earth is as tho shaken as by a mighty wind. This is judgment on the� World Order who has corrupted the world. The shaking will continue until every nation (mountain) large and small will be moved. All those who were� thought of as mighty men are reduced, and they will be the ones now afraid,� and will try to hide. I remember when Eddie Cantor said:...'when talking� about The coming of The Christ....when He comes, we've had it!' Thus the� ones who will run to the dens in the rock to try to hide we would expect to� be Satan's children. Some of Israel may be tempted to run and hide but I� expect them to join their brethren..on their knees.��

The Great Day of Wrath is come, and who shall be able to stand?...This we� expect to be the 'Great and Terrible Day of the LORD!', Great for the� Kingdom, and terrible for the World Order, and for Satan's children. The� seven seals then were symbolic of events which Satan and his children use� against Israel...are they not?��

REVELATION CHAPTER SEVEN��

There is only one more seal and that is number 7. But before it can be� opened the Angel is standing holding the winds from blowing on the earth,� and always the continuity of these ages then all overlap, so before this� judgement on earth symbolized by the wind then we find again an identification of God's people.��

Symbolically the number to be sealed, or identified as the children of� the Kingdom, by the anointing is 144,000, but this is also a symbolic� number. It simply can be increased by multiplying and dividing by 12, the� number of the tribes of Israel. We have heard many explanations of this� number over the years, but in symbolism then it is simply an identification� of all the tribes of Israel. YAHSHUA is numbering once more His Kingdom� people so that you will know who exactly the children of the kingdom really� are. Remember also that Levi was no more numbered as a tribe, but had been� absorbed into all tribes of Israel and both sons of Joseph were to be� numbered in the 12, and we find this holds true here. Thus those numbered� under the symbolism were all the tribes of Israel. 1‑Judah, 2‑Reuben,� 3‑Gad, 4‑Asher, 5‑Napthtali, 6‑Manasseh, 7‑Simeon, 8‑Issachar, 9‑Zebulon,� 10‑Ephraim, 11‑Benjamin, 12‑Dan.��

Yes, we know that here in the King James version of the Bible that Levi� is listed and not Dan, but this does not stay with the theme of the Bible,� thus must be a mistranslation. Dr. Swift said this does not hold true in� any of the older translations. Dan is a part of Israel, his tribe was the� 'Way‑makers', his symbol is around the throne...is one of the four Living� Creatures. Dan was one of the Patriarchs, a leader of his tribe. Remember� that YAHWEH made Levi Priests and ministers forever, thus removed them from� the numbering of Israel. Therefore when you find something which seems to� be out of order with the theme of this book then you better look it up.� (Numbers 2:33)��

There were 13 tribes with both sons of Joseph but look how easy YAHWEH� solved that problem. He wanted the tribe of Manasseh to be numbered as 13� ...for this nation's symbol, and here this was to be yet many years hence.� Then after establishing no. 13...for its place in destiny, HE made the� tribe of Levi..as Priests and ministers forever...to be absorbed into all tribes of Israel, and thus reduced the number of the tribes back to the� symbolic number of 12, which is the theme of the symbolic woman of� Revelation 12:1‑3.�� Verse 8...John sees this great multitude of people, so many they can't be� numbered by man, and they are from many nations, and they spoke many� languages, but they were all Israelites, and they now stand before YAHWEH‑YAHSHUA. They were given white robes which signifies they have been thru� the tribulation here in earth. These Israelites had been scattered thru� many nations, they spoke many different languages, but now they have earned� their rest. YAHSHUA had Redeemed them by His Blood, and no longer do they� wait in the Netherworld for all things to be put in order. The Saviour came� and now they are with Him. HE led captivity captive, did He not? They� hunger no more for YAHSHUA leads them..into fountains of Living Water...� which is total understanding of why it was necessary for them to go thru� the tribulation of earth, and why they were not able to complete the work� on earth in their generations. He wipes away their tears caused by all this� misunderstanding.��

REVELATION CHAPTER EIGHT��

As the seventh seal is opened there is a silence in heaven for about the� space of 1/2 an hour. This is a silence as all stand in awe as to what is� about to happen. The No.7 should portray a climax of a period. This 1/2� hours can be 7 1/2 days, for an hour is also 15 days, or it may be also� understood as years, but this seventh seal also has 7 parts, therefore it� does not all happen all at once. 7 is the symbolic number meaning� perfection.��

At this time John saw 7 Angels standing before YAHWEH‑YAHSHUA, AND TO� THEM WERE GIVEN 7 TRUMPETS. Remember that trumpets were always used to� assemble Israel for some event, for a definite purpose.�� Another Angel came and stood at the Altar, having a 'Golden Censer'...� which is symbolic of the prayer of the Saints. Remember saints means..believing offspring:...and the smoke of the Incense came from the prayers� of the Saints as it ascended up before YAHWEH‑YAHSHUA.��

Next the Angel took the censer and filled it with fire (Shekinah Glory)� of the Altar, and cast it to the earth, and this caused..'voices, and� thunderings and lightening and earthquakes'. Usually this description is of� the work of YAHWEH as he brings judgment on earth. This is symbolism of� much trouble and tribulation. However this smoke of the Incense and prayer� of the believing offspring signifies that the children of YAHWEH'S Kingdom� are waking up. In fact this is a worship service being described here with� response also from these children in earth, for they are finally stirring.��

Now; we go into these 7 new stages, and each comes with the blowing of� the Trumpet. When the first trumpet sounds you are told that 'hail, fire� mingled with blood, is cast upon the ground, and the third part of the� trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up. This is of course� symbolism, and in the Old Testament you see these plagues upon some part of� the earth described as such. Then when the Roman Empire fell it did not go� down all at once. Remember that YAHWEH said of Israel:..'Ye are my battle axes and weapons of war'. When the Almighty used Israel as such thru out� the Old Testament, they wrought great havoc when they moved to bring down a� Tyrant. Always, whether they knew it or not they were struggling to� maintain their message of Truth to the world, and their race, which was to� carry this Truth, for that was their destiny. Dr. Comparet thought this� symbolism pertains to the old Roman Empire which was under the control of a� Jewish Papacy, and would cause Israel great tribulation.��
