The revealed word or open word

If we are to understand the revealed word or open word. understanding figurative language, is a must so, we must call the Holy spirit to teach or reveal to us the hidden meaning in figurative language as used in the bible. But in understanding this context is very paramount because some figurative words are used differently in different parables.

What is a figurative language, this is the language that uses objects, people, animals, geographical location, history as a shadow for spiritual meaning of certain words

 As in, using words that stand directly for something. In understanding figurative language OPAGH is fundamental this kind of language is mostly used in dreams, trances and visions in order to hide the meaning from Satan. OPAGH stands for O= objects, P= people, A= animal, G= geographical location, H= history 

Basing on the bible we see God promising to use figurative language. I will open my mouth with a parable; I will utter hidden things, things from of old psalms 78:2 all this happened because of man’s sin.

Though I have been speaking figuratively, a time is coming when I will no longer use this kind of language but will tell you plainly about my Father John 16:25 so meaning there was a time of night about Gods word.

Why did Jesus use figurative language?

Did Jesus use figurative language “Yes he did” Matthew 13:35. ESV This was to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet: "I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter what has been hidden since the foundation of the world

The disciples came to him and asked, “Why do you speak to the people in parables?” He replied, “Because the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them meaning some people are exposed to the secretes of heaven and others are not.

Whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them. This is why I speak to them in parables: Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand Mathew 13:10-13

Jesus did not want the pharisees who had not accepted him and the message he was given by God to understand the secrets of heaven. He states, "Whoever believes in me is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God" John 3:18 therefore, He that rejects me, and receives not my words, the very words I have spoken will judge him John 12:48

Figurative language is commonly used in dreams and trances to hide the message from the devil that’s why the bible is the standard for interpreting dreams, trance’s and prophecies, Jesus’s parables were written in figurative language and its interpreted by the bible its self.

What are some of the figurative language used in the bible.

If we study well the parable of the sower in Mathew 13:3-8 Then he told them many things in parables, saying: “A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. 

But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants. Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop—a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.

The seed meant the: Gods word

Satan’s seed: Falsehood John 8:44

The farmer = God and his servants

Birds meant: spirits so, we have Devil spirits and Gods spirit. It can be well understood herein Mathew 3:16 and Revelation 19:17

Field meant: our hearts or the hearts of believers

Also basing on the parable in Mathew 13:38 field is used to mean = world

Go with me in the book of 1 Corinthians 3:9 for we are fellow workers in God’s service; you’re Gods field, God’s building. Since Apostle Paul had the revealed of the prophesy he was able to pass on the revealed word of revelation to the saints of Corinthian.

Let us see the interpretation of the parable.

Listen then to what the parable of the sower means: When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in their heart. This is the seed sown along the path. 

The seed falling on rocky ground refers to someone who hears the word and at once receives it with joy. But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away.

The seed falling among the thorns refers to someone who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, making it unfruitful. But the seed falling on good soil refers to someone who hears the word and understands it. This is the one who produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown Mathew 13: 19-22.”

Let’s look at a tree

It may be used to mean chosen people see herein; Psalms 80:8-9 You transplanted a vine from Egypt; you drove out the nations and planted it. You cleared the ground for it, and it took root and filled the land. The tree he was meaning where the children of Israel whom he had brought from Egypt to cannani 

The vineyard of the Lord Almighty is the nation of Israel and the people of Judah are the vines he delighted in. And he looked for justice, but saw bloodshed; for righteousness, but heard cries of distress Isaiah 5:7 = the inner person born again with the seed of the word.

The tree can also represent: a pastor basing on Daniel 4:20-22 The tree you saw, which grew large and strong, with its top touching the sky, visible to the whole earth, with beautiful leaves and abundant fruit, providing food for all, giving shelter to the wild animals, and having nesting places in its branches for the birds Your Majesty, you are that tree! You have become great and strong; your greatness has grown until it reaches the sky, and your dominion extends to distant parts of the earth.

Basing also to John 15:1 the tree can be pastors or people.  I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. And let us look at this Again I asked him, “What are these two olive branches beside the two gold pipes that pour out golden oil?” He replied, “Do you not know what these are?” “No, my lord,” I said. So, he said, “These are the two who are anointed to serve the Lord of all the earth. “Zachariah 4:12-14

Wood = people

Therefore, this is what the Lord God Almighty says: “Because the people have spoken these words, I will make my words in your mouth a fire and these people the wood it consumes Jeremiah 5:14.

Branches = Disciples

Branches may be used to mean disciples see herein John 15:5, I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing

Leaf = evangelist

Down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nation’s Revelation 22:22 it’s only the word of God that can heal people but leaves. case study also is Ezekiel 47:12

Food = word

 He humbled you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna, which neither you nor your ancestors had known, to teach you that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord Deuteronomy 8:3

Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst John 6:35 and Jesus is the word see herein; In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Word = food; When your words came, I ate them; they were my joy and my heart's delight, for I bear your name, LORD God Almighty Jeremiah 15:16

Satan’s = food is falsehood

For all the nations have drunk the maddening wine of her adulteries the kings of the earth committed adultery with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from her excessive luxuries.” Revelation 18:3

Famine = state of no word of truth

The days are coming,” declares the Sovereign Lord, “when I will send a famine through the land not a famine of food or a thirst for water, but a famine of hearing the words of the Lord Amos 8:11

Yeast = words of instructions 

He told them still another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into about sixty pounds of flour until it worked all through the dough Mathew 13:33

Horses = flesh

But the Egyptians are mere mortals and not God; their horses are flesh and not spirit. When the Lord stretches out his hand, those who help will stumble, those who are helped will fall; all will perish together. Isaiah 31:3

Rider = Spirit

When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come!” Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make people kill each other. To him was given a large sword Revelation 6:3-4. Let everyone who reads this understand that the horse was a person who had a spirit working within him.

Bowl = persons heart

Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence Mathew 23:25 the writer meant the pharisees were cleaning there outside body instead of cleaning the heart

But the Lord said to Ananias, “Go! This man is my chosen instrument to proclaim my name to the Gentiles and their kings and to the people of Israel Acts 9:15

Censer = A person’s heart

But the Lord said to Ananias, “Go! This man is my chosen instrument to proclaim my name to the Gentiles and their kings and to the people of Israel Acts 9:15. It was used in the tabernacles as a shadow of an individual heart, it is still being used by catholic but I doubt if they know its meaning

Staff or Rod = Word and person

But with righteousness he will judge the needy, with justice he will give decisions for the poor of the earth. He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth; with the breath of his lips he will slay the wicked Isaiah 11:4. Physically the rod is for support and protection

Speak to the Israelite's and get twelve staffs from them, one from the leader of each of their ancestral tribes. Write the name of each man on his staff Numbers 17:2 the rod is a person but spiritually the user of the Rod or staff is the spirit which is the word.

Reed like = A person of little faith

I was given a reed like a measuring rod and was told, “Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, with its worshipers Revelation 11:1-2 example of the people little faith Aaron, John the Baptist, Ave 

Incense = Prayers of the saints

And when he had taken it, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp and they were holding golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of God’s people Revelation 5:8

Incense smoke = Prayers of saints rising 

Another angel, who had a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense to offer, with the prayers of all God’s people, on the golden altar in front of the throne. The smoke of the incense, together with the prayers of God’s people, went up before God from the angel’s hand. Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and hurled it on the earth; and there came peals of thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning and an earthquake Revelation 8:3-5

Iron sceptre = Ecclesiastical authority to rule

To the one who is victorious and does my will to the end, I will give authority over the nations that one ‘will rule them with an iron scepter and will dash them to pieces like pottery’ just as I have received authority from my Father Revelation 2:26-27. Those who will endure up to the end

Scale = word that weighs faith and deeds

If you say, “But we knew nothing about this,” does not he who weighs the heart perceive it? Does not he who guards your life know it? Will he not repay everyone according to what they have done? Proverbs 24:12 therefore, this weighs faith and deeds or actions

This is what Job reports let, God weigh me in honest scales and he will know that I am blameless Job 31:6 and if I compare it with 1 Samuel 2:3 Do not keep talking so proudly or let your mouth speak such arrogance, for the Lord is a God who knows, and by him deeds are weighed it also brings you to the above statement

Revelation 20: 12 the books will be opened and we shall be judged according to what everyone has done since it is reported also herein John 12:48 There is a judge for the one who rejects me and does not accept my words; the very words I have spoken will condemn them at the last day.

Fire = word 

Is not my word like fire,” declares the Lord, “and like a hammer that breaks a rock in pieces? Jeremiah 23:29. His word is fire, is judgement

Wine = Word or Revealed word

New wine = new revealed word, and no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the new wine will burst the skins; the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined. No, new wine must be poured into new wineskins Luke 5:37-38 it was standing for the old word and Jesus was telling the pharisees that he was the new wine so, they had to delete and re-write the new wine which is the word.

Though I myself have reasons for such confidence. If someone else thinks they have reasons to put confidence in the flesh, I have more: circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; in regard to the law, a Pharisee; as for zeal, persecuting the church; as for righteousness based on the law, faultless.

But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. 

I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith Philippians 3:4-9 Apostle Paul considered laws as rubbish or old wine knowledge of having known Jesus 

Wine skin = it’s a container or the heart.

It holds wine

It holds water

And some holds food

New wine skin = Pastor, disciples and congregation members

And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the new wine will burst the skins; the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined.No, new wine must be poured into new wineskins Luke 5:37-38, Apostle Paul has it that, Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!  2 Corinthians 5:17 so, the pharisees had to do away with the old wine I mean the old word.

Light = word of life

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.  In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it John 1:1-5

But you, brothers and sisters, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief. You are all children of the light and children of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness.So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be awake and sober 1 Thessalonians 5:4-6

Darkness = ignorance of not having or knowing the word

Then Jesus told them, “You are going to have the light just a little while longer. Walk while you have the light, before darkness overtakes you. Whoever walks in the dark does not know where they are going John 12:35

Eyes = spirits

And between the throne and the four living creatures and among the elders I saw a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent out into all the earth Revelations 5:6 seven Spirits of God" signifying God's complete knowledge and insight

Lamp, lampstand = spirits and people on duty

In a letter to the church of Ephesus, Jesus warns that if they do not repent, he will come and "remove your lampstand from its place Revelation 2:5 I will take my spirits from the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings and peals of thunder. In front of the throne, seven lamps were blazing. These are the seven spirits of God Revelation 4:5

The Lord has brought over you a deep sleep: He has sealed your eyes (the prophets); he has covered your heads (the seers). The 7 eyes are the prophets, pastors Isaiah 29:10 therefore, the seven eyes were pastors whom God had entrusted the church with

The lampstand was to give forth light day and night. This was in the tabernacle that the lord had told Moses to build Exodus 27:20–21. The lamp in the tabernacles was a shadow of the word 

 No one lights a lamp and puts it in a place where it will be hidden, or under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, so that those who come in may see the light Luke 11:33 

Light = revealed word of Jesus or Jesus 

Physically light is bright, its straight, it brings life, it has heart, more so, it’s a source of energy, spiritually it exposes the devil. And this what Jesus spoke to them, saying, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life John 8:22 

Darkness = Night

Bind up this testimony of warning and seal up God’s instruction among my disciples Isaiah 8:16, it’s also reported herein Revelation 5, Then I saw in the right hand of him who sat on the throne a scroll with writing on both sides and sealed with seven seals. And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming in a loud voice, “Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll.

After the people had annoyed God the book was sealed and its only Jesus who could open the seal like who Adam annoyed and he was driven out of Aden and God had to deploy an angel to protect the garden see herein

And the Lord God said, “The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever. So, the Lord God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken Genesis 3: 22-24. 

After he drove the man out, he placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life. Since then the un-believers cannot understand Jesus Christ and understand the word.

Life = lamp = light = word 

It’s well said herein Psalms 119:105 Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path. Life is the word and the word were Jesus Christ, who is the lamp and the word which comes from him gives light to the world 

Sealed = revealed / opened

Let us understand this in Psalms 119:130, The unfolding of your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple

Blind = a person who can’t understand the despite the reading

You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked Revelation 3:17, yes they were blind naked and poor because they did not know the word of God.

Lastly, Israel’s watchmen are blind, they all lack knowledge; they are all mute dogs, they cannot bark;they lie around and dream, they love to sleep. They are dogs with mighty appetites; they never have enough. They are shepherds who lack understanding;they all turn to their own way, they seek their own gain Israel 56:10-11.

Deaf = a person who doesn’t understand despite hearing the word

Hear, you deaf; look, you blind, and see!Who is blind but my servant, and deaf like the messenger I send? Who is blind like the one in covenant with me, blind like the servant of the Lord? You have seen many things, but you pay no attention; your ears are open, but you do not listen Isaiah 42:18-20

Clothes = Word and actions

Wedding clothes =Righteous acts

Fine linen, bright and clean, was given her to wear. “Fine linen stands for the righteous acts of God’s holy people Revelation 19:8

Prostitute clothes = False pastors’ doctrine

The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and was glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls. She held a golden cup in her hand, filled with abominable things and the filth of her adulteries Revelation 17:4

Treasure = word

The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it Mathew 13:44-46.

Rich = person who has a lot of the word

You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked. I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see Revelations 3:17-18.

Net = word of God

Once again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was let down into the lake and caught all kinds of fish. When it was full, the fishermen pulled it up on the shore. Then they sat down and collected the good fish in baskets, but threw the bad away. This is how it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous Mathew 13:47-49

Fish = person 

You have made people like the fish in the sea, like the sea creatures that have no ruler Habakkuk 1:14. Mathew reports this Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.” At once they left their nets and followed him Mathew 4:17-20.

Once again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was let down into the lake and caught all kinds of fish. When it was full, the fishermen pulled it up on the shore. Then they sat down and collected the good fish in baskets, but threw the bad away. This is how it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous Mathew 13:47-49

Ship = church organization 

They will throw dust on their heads, and with weeping and mourning cry out: Woe! Woe to you, great city, where all who had ships on the sea became rich through her wealth!  In one hour, she has been brought to ruin Revelation 18:19!

Lastly, The Lord then said to Noah, “Go into the ark, you and your whole family, because I have found you righteous in this generation Genesis 7:1

Passengers = Congregation members Acts 27:1-44

Sailors = Evangelists and Disciples

Sea = This world 

To understand this, let us first look at the physical characteristics of the sea, it’s a collection of all sorts of waters in most cases which is not good for drinking and with different kinds of fish. In that day, the Lord will punish with his sword his fierce, great and powerful sword Leviathan the gliding serpent, Leviathan the coiling serpent; he will slay the monster of the sea Isaiah 27:1.

Who lives in the sea?

It was you who split open the sea by your power; you broke the heads of the monster in the waters. It was you who crushed the heads of Leviathan and gave it as food to the creatures of the desert Psalms 74:13-14.

Babylon = This world

At first physical Egypt was in the shadow not until physical Babylon as a city captured the children of Israel who had departed from the word of God. See herein, Babylon was a gold cup in the Lord’s hand;she made the whole earth drunk. The nations drank her wine; therefore, they have now gone mad Jeremiah 51:7

Beast = a person who can’t understand the word of God

People who have wealth but lack understanding are like the beasts that perish Psalm 49:20.

Head = head pastor

The Lord has brought over you a deep sleep: He has sealed your eyes (the prophets); he has covered your heads (the seers) Isaiah 29:10. Daniel used king which represents highest authority and power of the empire or church leadership which is a Pastor, an Apostle, a Prophet. 

This calls for a mind with wisdom. The seven heads are seven hills on which the woman sits.  They are also seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come; but when he does come, he must remain for only a little while Revelation 17:9-10. 

Daniel interpreted the "head of gold" from Nebuchadnezzar's dream as representing the Babylonian Empire, specifically signifying King Nebuchadnezzar himself as the leader of this powerful kingdom at the time; essentially, the head symbolized the highest authority and power of the empire. 

Lastly, I think this can explain it well. So, the Lord will cut off from Israel both head and tail, both palm branch and reed in a single day; the elders and dignitaries are the head, the prophets who teach lies are the tail Isaiah 9:14-15

Horns = Authority figures or people with authority (elders) who belong to the head and fight

To understand this best let us look at the physical characteristics of horns = there attached at the head for defense. The ten horns you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but who for one hour will receive authority as kings along with the beast Revelation 17:12. Horns are there to support the false prophets

Tail = False prophets belonging to the beast

To understand this, let us at the physical characteristic of a tail its attached to the back of beast or an animal. They will lend to you, but you will not lend to them. They will be the head, but you will be the tail Deuteronomy 28: 44

If we look at the scriptures it is said in Deuteronomy 28:15, However, if you do not obey the Lord your God and do not carefully follow all his commands and decrees I am giving you today, all these curses will come on you and overtake you and we all know that the false prophet diverted from the truth to falseness so, they become tails:

Herein we see the use of false prophets to the dragon, its tail swept a third of the stars out of the sky and flung them to the earth. The dragon stood in front of the woman who was about to give birth, so that it might devour her child the moment he was born Revelation 12:4. This means that the False prophet deceived many and made them to follow them.

Lastly, I think this can explain it well. So, the Lord will cut off from Israel both head and tail, both palm branch and reed in a single day; the elders and dignitaries are the head, the prophets who teach lies are the tail Isaiah 9:14-15. By saying he will cut he meant that he will cut off those with little faith and the disciples 

Spring = cleanses one from (Jesus)

Let us understand this physically a spring, is the source of water and water figuratively is the word of God. So, this what prophet Zachariah on that day a fountain will be opened to the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to cleanse them from sin and impurity Zachariah 13:1. The fountain is the same as the spring of water

But whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life John 4:14 The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life, but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence proverbs 10:11.

On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink.Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them John 7:37-38 rivers flow from the source and Jesus is the source

Rivers = Evangelists/Disciples 

Let us understand the river physically, this is the channel by which water flows from the spring to the lake or sea. On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them John 7:37-38 rivers flow from the source and Jesus is the source, we see the disciples in the first coming of Jesus Christ where the streams of water.

Water = word of life = Jesus 

But whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life John 4:14 Jesus is the water that cleans us, apostle john reports this.  You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you John 15:3

Desert = Spiritual testing place

Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry Mathew 4:1-2 reports.

Church = person

Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst? Apostle reports it 1 Corinthians 3:16

Trumpet = A person in flesh

Trumpeter = God

Trumpet sound= word proclaimed

And like the heat of the desert. You silence the uproar of foreigners; as heat is reduced by the shadow of a cloud, so the song of the ruthless is stilled Isaiah 25:5

Blood and flesh of the lamb = Jesus’s word of life

I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.” Then the Jews began to argue sharply among themselves, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”

Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.  Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day. For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them John 6:51-4

Lamb = Jesus

Get rid of the old yeast, so that you may be a new unleavened batch—as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed 1 Corinthians 5:7. Apostle Paul has it right herein, the next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! John 1:29

Seal: Gods word

 Then I saw another angel coming up from the east, having the seal of the living God. He called out in a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm the land and the sea: “Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees until we put a seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God Revelation 7:2-3. In this he was telling the spirits or the angels not to harm people who knew or who had God’s word

And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, Ephesians 1:13. But I think Apostle john brings it clearly herein The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you—they are full of the Spirit and life John 6:63

Mark = Satan’s lies or falsehood 

It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, so, that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name 

Revelation 13:16-18, which describes the "Mark of the Beast," where people are marked on their right hand or forehead, preventing them from buying or selling unless they have this mark, symbolizing allegiance or strong believe to an evil power; this is often interpreted as a representation of ultimate allegiance against God.

Song of Moses = word of the old testament 

And sang the song of God’s servant Moses and of the Lamb: “Great and marvellous are your deeds, Lord God Almighty. Just and true are your ways, King of the nation’s Revelation 15:3-4

God instructed Moses to recited again the song to the children of Israel see herein, And Moses recited the words of this song from beginning to end in the hearing of the whole assembly of Israel Deuteronomy 31:30 and this book Deuteronomy means recite for them again

Song of the lamb = word of the new testament

And sang the song of God’s servant Moses and of the Lamb: “Great and marvellous are your deeds, Lord God Almighty. Just and true are your ways, King of the nation’s Revelation 15:3-4

New song = Gospel of the physical fulfillment 

Reality of prophecies, see herein, and they sang a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders. No one could learn the song except the 144,000 who had been redeemed from the earth Revelation 14:3. The 144,000 are overcomes with the word of God

Tomb = organization of falsehood

Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and everything unclean. In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but, on the inside, you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness. Mathew 23:27-28

Breath of life = word of life 

The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you—they are full of the Spirit and life John 6:63. He also states that all scriptures are God breathed in 2 timothy 3:15-16

Death: state of the absence of the spirit of life 

For everyone belongs to me, the parent as well as the child—both alike belong to me. The one who sins is the one who will die Ezekiel 18:4 But Jesus told him, “Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead Mathew 8:22. There was someone dead physically but the people who were to bury him were dead spiritually

To the angel of the church in Sardis write: These are the words of him who holds the seven spirits of God and the seven stars. I know your deeds; you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead Revelation 3:1. Remember we have said that spirit is life 

Resurrection: when a spirit lives again by the word of life

Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life.Very truly I tell you, a time is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will live John 5:24-25

Wind = Angels and judgement

 Daniel said: “In my vision at night I looked, and there before me were the four winds of heaven churning up the great sea Daniel 7:2. The four winds are the four arch angels who are the commanders in the heavenly realm, they persue judgement.

In speaking of the angels, he says, “He makes his angels spirits, and his servants flames of fire. Hebrews 1:7

The four living creatures = 4 archangels 

Also, in front of the throne there was what looked like a sea of glass, clear as crystal. In the center, around the throne, were four living creatures, and they were covered with eyes, in front and in back. The first living creature was like a lion, the second was like an ox, the third had a face like a man, the fourth was like a flying eagle Revelation 4:6-7. These angels have all what it takes to discern and take on the judgement.

Groom = spirits 

I will betroth you to me forever;I will betroth you in righteousness and justice, in love and compassion. I will betroth you in faithfulness, and you will acknowledge the lord Hosea 2:19-20. God is the so, it’s the spirit that marries the flesh like in Mathew 3:16 the spirit of God marrying Jesus.

Return, faithless people,” declares the Lord, “for I am your husband. I will choose you—one from a town and two from a clan—and bring you to Zion Jeremiah 3:14. If me and you choses or accepts Jesus Christ we are married by his spirit but there also other people who are married by satans spirit. God marries our spirit and stay in their house that is the body.

Bride = flesh 

I will betroth you to me forever; I will betroth you in righteousness and justice, in love and compassion. I will betroth you in faithfulness,and you will acknowledge the lord Hosea 2:19-20. God who is a spirit was telling Hosea who is flesh that I will marry you

Widow = Pastor Whom the spirit has left or a Pastor who has betrayed

We have become fatherless; our mothers are widows’ lamentations 5:3. The children of Israel were lamenting because all their leaders had betrayed God and God had taken his spirit from them.

Sun = Pastors 

Then he had another dream, and he told it to his brothers. “Listen,” he said, “I had another dream, and this time the sun and moon and eleven stars were bowing down to me.” When he told his father as well as his brothers, his father rebuked him and said, “What is this dream you had? Will your mother and I and your brothers actually come and bow down to the ground before you?

We can only understand this if we first understand it physically. Jacob was the sun, the sun gives light and its brighter than the moon and stars so, Jacob is believed to haven chosen to lead the children of Israel as a pastor. By light I mean the word

Moon = Evangelist

Then he had another dream, and he told it to his brothers. “Listen,” he said, “I had another dream, and this time the sun and moon and eleven stars were bowing down to me.” When he told his father as well as his brothers, his father rebuked him and said, “What is this dream you had? Will your mother and I and your brothers actually come and bow down to the ground before you. Let us understand this since Jacob was the pastor he had more word than the moon and the stars

Stars = Congregation members

Then he had another dream, and he told it to his brothers. “Listen,” he said, “I had another dream, and this time the sun and moon and eleven stars were bowing down to me.” When he told his father as well as his brothers, his father rebuked him and said, “What is this dream you had? Will your mother and I and your brothers actually come and bow down to the ground before you. Always the congregation members have got a lesser word from the pastor and evangelists 

Israel = To overcome or chosen people 

Then the man said, “Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with humans and have overcome Genesis 32:28. Even Jesus was called Israel because he fought and overcome satan in Mathew 4:1-12 see it herein Hosea 11:11 and in Mathew 2:13-15

Keys = wisdom to know the secretes

I am the Living One; I was dead, and now look, I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades Revelation 1:18. Jesus was the one to give the pharisees the knowledge of the kingdom of God but they neglected him.

War = war of doctrine

Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

Therefore, put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.

In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God Ephesians 6:11-17.

Weapon = word of testimony 

They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony;
they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death Revelations 12:11. We can only win the devil by God’s word.

Heaven = Tabernacle of chosen people 

Hear me, you heavens! Listen, earth! For the Lord has spoken: “I reared children and brought them up, but they have rebelled against me Isaiah 1:2.

Earth = flesh or chosen people who worship from them 

Lift up your eyes to the heavens, look at the earth beneath; the heavens will vanish like smoke, the earth will wear out like a garment and its inhabitants die like flies. But my salvation will last forever, my righteousness will never fail Isaiah 51:6.

Zion = pastor who has been chosen

The children of your oppressors will come bowing before you; all who despise you will bow down at your feet and will call you the City of the Lord, Zion of the Holy One of Israel Isaiah 60:14.

Vine = Grapes = wine = the word

Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, “Two pounds of wheat for a day’s wages, and six pounds of barley for a day’s wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine! Revelation 6:6. Vines produce grapes which produces wine and Jesus was a vine that produced grapes and grapes wine which is the true word of God

Oil = word or people with the word

Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, “Two pounds of wheat for a day’s wages, and six pounds of barley for a day’s wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine Revelation 6:6. You willy easily understand this if you read Zachariah 4:1-14

I think it’s clear herein, and no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the new wine will burst the skins; the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined. No, new wine must be poured into new wineskins. And no one after drinking old wine wants the new, for they say, ‘The old is better Luke 5:37-39, in the book of Lev 24:1-4 in the tabernacle oil was used to light the lamps on the lampstand 

True vine = Jesus

I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful John 15:1-2 but also, we have got wild vine = which produce wine of adultery

Wild vine = False pastor

I had planted you like a choice vine of sound and reliable stock. How then did you turn against me into a corrupt, wild vine Jeremiah 2:21?

Babylon was a gold cup in the Lord’s hand; she made the whole earth drunk. The nations drank her wine; therefore, they have now gone mad Jeremiah 51:7

Olive tree = olive = olive oil = the word of God and servants 

Then I asked the angel, “What are these two olive trees on the right and the left of the lampstand?” Again, I asked him, “What are these two olive branches beside the two gold pipes that pour out golden oil?” He replied, “Do you not know what these are?” “No, my lord,” I said. So, he said, “These are the two who are anointed to serve the Lord of all the earth Zechariah 4:11-14

Jesus then began to speak to them in parables: “A man planted a vineyard. He put a wall around it, dug a pit for the winepress and built a watchtower. Then he rented the vineyard to some farmers and moved to another place. At harvest time he sent a servant to the tenants to collect from them some of the fruit of the vineyard. But they seized him, beat him and sent him away empty-handed.

Then he sent another servant to them; they struck this man on the head and treated him shamefully. He sent still another, and that one they killed. He sent many others; some of them they beat, others they killed Mark 12:1-6.

Vineyard = church   Isaiah or chosen people

The vineyard of the Lord Almighty is the nation of Israel,and the people of Judah are the vines he delighted in. And he looked for justice, but saw bloodshed; for righteousness, but heard cries of distress Isaiah 5:7. 

Farmer = God and Jesus

Watch tower = leaders / elders

Jesus then began to speak to them in parables: “A man planted a vineyard. He put a wall around it, dug a pit for the winepress and built a watchtower. Then he rented the vineyard to some farmers and moved to another place. At harvest time he sent a servant to the tenants to collect from them some of the fruit of the vineyard. But they seized him, beat him and sent him away empty-handed.

Then he sent another servant to them; they struck this man on the head and treated him shamefully. He sent still another, and that one they killed. He sent many others; some of them they beat, others they killed Mark 12:1-6.

Wine press = place where they gather from for life

Jesus then began to speak to them in parables: “A man planted a vineyard. He put a wall around it, dug a pit for the winepress and built a watchtower. Then he rented the vineyard to some farmers and moved to another place. At harvest time he sent a servant to the tenants to collect from them some of the fruit of the vineyard. But they seized him, beat him and sent him away empty-handed.

Then he sent another servant to them; they struck this man on the head and treated him shamefully. He sent still another, and that one they killed. He sent many others; some of them they beat, others they killed Mark 12:1-6.

Will = word, 

Jesus then began to speak to them in parables: “A man planted a vineyard. He put a wall around it, dug a pit for the winepress and built a watchtower. Then he rented the vineyard to some farmers and moved to another place. At harvest time he sent a servant to the tenants to collect from them some of the fruit of the vineyard. But they seized him, beat him and sent him away empty-handed.

Then he sent another servant to them; they struck this man on the head and treated him shamefully. He sent still another, and that one they killed. He sent many others; some of them they beat, others they killed Mark 12:1-6.

The book of law, psalms and prophesies 

Jesus then began to speak to them in parables: “A man planted a vineyard. He put a wall around it, dug a pit for the winepress and built a watchtower. Then he rented the vineyard to some farmers and moved to another place. At harvest time he sent a servant to the tenants to collect from them some of the fruit of the vineyard. But they seized him, beat him and sent him away empty-handed.

Then he sent another servant to them; they struck this man on the head and treated him shamefully. He sent still another, and that one they killed. He sent many others; some of them they beat, others they killed Mark 12:1-6.

Builders = pastors and God 

Jesus then began to speak to them in parables: “A man planted a vineyard. He put a wall around it, dug a pit for the wine-press and built a watchtower. Then he rented the vineyard to some farmers and moved to another place. At harvest time he sent a servant to the tenants to collect from them some of the fruit of the vineyard. But they seized him, beat him and sent him away empty-handed.

Then he sent another servant to them; they struck this man on the head and treated him shamefully. He sent still another, and that one they killed. He sent many others; some of them they beat, others they killed Mark 12:1-6

Prostitute = False Pastor

One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the punishment of the great prostitute, who sits by many waters.2 With her the kings of the earth committed adultery, and the inhabitants of the earth were intoxicated with the wine of her adulteries Revelation 17:1-2

For their rock is not like our Rock, as even our enemies concede. Their vine comes from the vine of Sodom and from the fields of Gomorrah. Their grapes are filled with poison, and their clusters with bitterness. Their wine is the venom of serpents, the deadly poison of cobras Deuteronomy 32:32-33.

Women = Pastors
