Abraham
was chosen as the first Elected One to bring humanity to the goal.
Abraham is the same as
the Lamb himself and the same as
Christ. <2>This verse says that the Lamb and his
followers were elected to bring the great history of the Hebrews and
their Scriptures to guide humanity in the way to establish the
Kingdom Of Heaven On Earth.
"Sion" is the same as
Zion.
"And I heard a voice from
heaven, as the voice of
many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the
voice of harpers harping with their harps:" (Rev. 14:2)
|
<3>Again the voice of many waters, as it was
described, is the sound a person hears when he reaches very high
consciousness. It resembles the sound of "OM."
They will hear this sound, and it is the sound heard in the fifth
chakra
(overcoming the five elements). <4>And there was singing and
celebration for these people who had reached such a high
consciousness.
"And they sung as it were a new song before the
throne, and before the
four beasts, and the
elders: and no man could
learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which
were redeemed from the earth." (Rev. 14:3)
|
<5>Before the history of humanity or the
history of the Hebrews started, some people already had reached a
very high consciousness. They had progressed to a place where no
other human had ever been before. They had been redeemed from the
earth and chosen as the leaders for humanity to guide others to the
path of enlightenment and eventually to
Pure
Consciousness.
<6>"And they sung as it were a new song,"
means that in this time period only these people heard this sound of
many waters, the music, and the beauty of that higher consciousness.
Not everyone had reached that higher level. Only these people had
reached there.
<7>Another thing is that this verse is
referring only to the 144,000, not the Saints and the other people
mentioned in chapter 7 who had also reached this higher
consciousness but at a later time, "therefore are they before the
throne of
God" (Rev. 7:15).
In that verse, John was asked who they were, and John did not know.
One of the
Elders told him that
they were the Saints who had reached that consciousness. Here in
this verse, only 144,000 had reached this higher consciousness,
which is 3,500 years ago. They had been elected by
God already. They had a
covenant with Him to be the children of
God, or the
Children of
Israel (those who
struggle with God),
which means they are the ones who work with
God to bring humanity to the goal.
"These are they which were not defiled with
women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb
whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being
the firstfruits unto
God
and to the Lamb." (Rev. 14:4)
|
<8>These were the first who have overcome
their lower nature (woman).
"And in their mouth was found no guile: for they
are without fault before the throne of
God." (Rev. 14:5)
|
<9>They had reached a very high consciousness
in the sixth seal of
The Greatest Sign. So these people in this higher
consciousness have no guile before
God, "are without fault
before the throne of
God." <10>But men
might try to find fault in them!
|
"And I saw another
angel
fly in the midst of
heaven,
having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the
earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,"
"Saying with a loud voice, Fear
God,
and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and
worship him that make heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the
fountains of waters." (Rev. 14:6-7)
|
<11>Again this
Angel
is related to the first seal. It is the truth of the everlasting
gospel and the reality behind this universe. It is the teaching of
Daharma,
reincarnation,
karma, and all the Laws
of following the nature of things and becoming in harmony with the
flow of nature. All of these gospels have been preached by the first
Angel to humanity.
<12>He told them to glorify
God for all His creation, that they are a part of Him
(universe), and that He is trying to bring humanity to higher
consciousness. "The sea, and the fountains of
waters" represent the
sub-consciousness, super-consciousness (Universal
Mind, "fountains of
waters"), and all things
that can help the human reach the goal.
|
"And there followed another
angel, saying, Babylon is
fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations
drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication." (Rev. 14:8)
|
<13>This
Angel
is bringing the news of the fall of Babylon, because the
Elected Ones were
chosen -- second sign (
)
-- to fight with "that great city," which symbolizes the egoistical
pursuance of the external world. So that is why this Babylon will
fall after these people start fighting with it through history
(internally and externally).
|
"And the third
angel
followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the
beast and his image, and receive his
mark in his forehead, or in his hand,"
"The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of
God, which is poured out
without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be
tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy
angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:"
"And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for
ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the
beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the
mark of his name." (Rev. 14:9-11)
|
<14>This third
Angel
is related to the third seal in
The Greatest
Sign. This
Angel
has come to warn the people that they should not follow the beast or
have his
mark (greed). They
should not be attracted to the external world unnecessarily. Instead
they have to use this external world for their spiritual progress to
higher consciousness and eventually
Pure
Consciousness.
<15>If they do not follow this commandment and teaching, they
will lag behind, they will be burned (suffer), and they will fall
into the ocean of
Maya. In short, they
should overcome their
false egos (the first
three
chakras). They should
sit on the black horse (false
ego) and try to bring equity (the balance) (Rev. 6:5).
|
"Here is the patience of the saints: here are
they that keep the commandments of
God, and the faith of
Esa."
(Rev. 14:12)
|
<16>That is what prevents Saints from falling
into the grip of
Maya.
They know that there is a reward and punishment (purification).
Whoever follows
Maya will
be punished (because of the Law of
Karma), and whoever overcomes the weaknesses of the
mind and lower nature of the human will be rewarded (will be in
His
Grace).
<17>This third
Angel
and his teachings are what
Esa
the
Christ brought to
humanity, "and the faith of
Esa."
|
"And I heard a voice from
heaven
saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord
from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from
their labours; and their works do follow them." (Rev. 14:13)
|
<18>Those who fight and die for the sake of
righteousness and establishing the Kingdom Of
Heaven will rest from their labours and "their works do follow
them." They will be rewarded for their works by
God. They have overcome the first three
chakras (lower nature) and are in their higher selves, "from
henceforth." <19>Also death here refers to spiritual death (false
ego).
|
"And I looked, and behold a
white
cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having
on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle." (Rev.
14:14)
|
<20>This
Angel
is related to the fourth seal. He and the son of man are one
(Is-Lam). Also the sickle is shaped as the moon in the fourth sign (
).
|
"And another
angel came out of the
temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud,
Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to
reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe." (Rev. 14:15)
|
<21>This is related to the fifth seal,
because when it comes, the harvest will be ripe. <22>Those
who have been good will have progressed, and those who have lagged
behind will be thrown to the outer
darkness or
ignorance, until they
also become ready to be harvested.
|
"And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his
sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped." (Rev. 14:16)
|
<23>The earth was ready to be harvested.
There were those who were so ready that they were martyred for the
truth of the fifth seal.
|
"And another
angel came out of the
temple which is in
heaven, he also having a
sharp sickle." (Rev. 14:17)
|
<24>This is related to the sixth seal. It was
the time for gathering and separating those who have not progressed
from those who have.
|
"And another
angel came out from the
altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him
that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and
gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are
fully ripe." (Rev. 14:18)
|
<25>Those who have lagged behind are
symbolized by the clusters of the vine of the earth, which will be
gathered by the
Angel. <26>He was
"from the altar," he was from
Pure Consciousness. <27>He has power over
Maya (fire) so that they
can be separated from the rest. <28>Fire also means the
purifying power of truth.
|
"And the
angel thrust in his
sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast
it into the great winepress of the wrath of
God."
"And the winepress was trodden without the city,
and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by
the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs." (Rev. 14:19-20)
|
<29>Those who have lagged behind are punished
through the
tribulation that
comes to the earth.
