Servias Ministries Blog

We will be conducting offsite meetings on behalf of the Ministry.  I expect the next blog to be posted on Tuesday.  I suggest you focus on “refreshing” your First Love relationship with FATHER.  His Love will open all other doors!

Revelation 19:1  7 Then I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in the midst of heaven, “Come and gather together for the supper of the great God,

18 that you may eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them, and the flesh of all people, free and slave, both small and great.”

19 And I saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against Him who sat on the horse and against His army.

20 Then the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who worked signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. These two were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone.

21 And the rest were killed with the sword which proceeded from the mouth of Him who sat on the horse. And all the birds were filled with their flesh.

Ever since the decision to pursue the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, the fleshly nature has been a problem.  The lust of the flesh has led the categories of sin and the world has promoted this lust in all respects.  Mankind’s lawless intent has managed to redefine laws to the point where lusts no longer have any repercussions to their fulfillment.  Laws could only modify behavior anyway.  The intent of the heart is where the problem originates.  The fiery two-edged sword is able to divide the soul and the spirit of man:

Hebrews 4:12  For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

“Joints and marrow” can refer to the strength of a connection.  This connection may be the commitment to a system, place, or person.  In this case, the sword is used to severe the connection to the fleshly nature of mankind closely guarded by the beast who progressed from that sly serpent originally found in the garden.  In the above passage, we must keep our underlying focus on the fact that the Love of FATHER is behind HIS Intent and the Intent of HIS Sons with Jesus being at the forefront.  Sending the birds to feast on the flesh is actually an act of Love, not terror.  We must remember that this is a Spiritual scene, not a literal one.  The flesh needs to be removed and the soul needs to be refined by the refiner’s fire.  Impurities must be removed in order to be reconciled and restored to FATHER.

The fiery, living Word of FATHER has full power and authority within it to cause its intent to come to pass.  This fiery Word is fully and completely motivated by Love and thus it represents the third baptism and is associated with the Feast of Tabernacles.  The spirit, soul, and body all have to be dealt with but in a progressive basis.  In this final battle, the body has become the focus of restoration.  The souls of men had to be redeemed from the enslavement of the Harlot.  Now the body must be redeemed from its fleshly nature.  The fleshly nature’s intent must be separated out by the sword and consumed by the birds of the air.  Vultures and other carcass eaters have an important function- to clean up the environment.  Shellfish do the same in the ocean.  Each has a FATHER-given function to bring an equilibrium to the ecosystem.  Instead of cursing certain aspects of creation, we should look to see the Divine Intent of their presence.

This final consuming of all flesh “reverses the curse”.  There were many who previously heard the Word and did not receive it.  As a result of being blinded, they did not receive salvation.  The reference to birds is found in Matthew 13:

3  Then He spoke many things to them in parables, saying: “Behold, a sower went out to sow.

4 And as he sowed, some seed fell by the wayside; and the birds came and devoured them.

5 Some fell on stony places, where they did not have much earth; and they immediately sprang up because they had no depth of earth.

6 But when the sun was up they were scorched, and because they had no root they withered away.

7 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up and choked them.

8 But others fell on good ground and yielded a crop: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

9 He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”

FATHER sent the WORD to mankind and all were given an opportunity to receive the WORD.  Jesus explained this parable to the disciples:

18 “Therefore hear the parable of the sower:

19 When anyone hears the word of the kingdom, and does not understand it, then the wicked one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is he who received seed by the wayside.

20 But he who received the seed on stony places, this is he who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy;

21 yet he has no root in himself, but endures only for a while. For when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he stumbles.

22 Now he who received seed among the thorns is he who hears the word, and the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.

23 But he who received seed on the good ground is he who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and produces: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.”

When the WORD was given for men to receive salvation, the adversary, the fleshly nature kept the WORD from taking root.  It was immediately removed from the heart.  This adversary was referred to as “birds” in this case.  At the end of the age, another group of birds are enlisted to remove the “adversary” from us.  This adversary “the flesh” is judged by its original acts of preventing the WORD from taking root.  How appropriate that this righteous judgment come forth to consume all flesh.  Those fleshly acts evoked an appropriate righteous response in the end.  No man was left behind, all were included in this final judgment of the fleshly nature.  The Sun of Righteous gave the order for the birds to do HIS bidding.

Revelation 19:11   Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war.

12   His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself.

13   He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God.

14   And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses.

15   Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

16   And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written:

KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.

Horses are used for war and the four horsemen of Revelation Chapter 6 portrayed conflict, war and destruction.  These four were used in dealing with the overcomers.  Now we have a whole army who have saddled up and ride behind their Commander, the KING of Kings.  Heaven has now opened up to the lower reaches of creation.  The harlot Mystery Babylon has been removed and it is now time to deal with the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies.  Those who have submitted to the beast will now be overcome by the Love of FATHER in direct confrontation.  The ego will now be fully destroyed in its influence over man. 

Those who have enjoined themselves to Christ have followed the path to be faithful and true as well.  Their faith has been perfected by Love and there hearts are now pure and true.  There is no guile found in them.  Just as the veil had to be removed from the overcomers, it is now time to remove the veil from the other inhabitants of the earth.  They will no longer worship the created or exalt self-proclaimed kings of the earth.  Those who were formerly worshipped as idols will be dashed against the rocks and ground to powder for they were used as vessels of dishonor to ready and mature the saints.  Their time has come.

Jesus is described as having “eyes like a flame of fire”.  The eyes of man were designed to receive light whereas Jesus’ eyes are transmitting light or revelation of the purifying Word.  This description was given to us in the first chapter of Revelation:

13 and in the midst of the seven lampstands One like the Son of Man, clothed with a garment down to the feet and girded about the chest with a golden band.

14 His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and His eyes like a flame of fire;

15 His feet were like fine brass, as if refined in a furnace, and His voice as the sound of many waters;

16 He had in His right hand seven stars, out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword, and His countenance was like the sun shining in its strength.

We first see Jesus among the seven churches (church realm) but now He is focused on the entire earth for all the earth will be filled with HIS Glory.  Each of the dispensations represented by the three feast were a focus for Jesus Christ and His followers.  Now that the Bride has been brought out from Mystery Babylon, the final war can be waged.  The wheat harvest is complete, the final harvest is at hand.  Mankind is about to receive the fullness of the revelation of Love from the One who has eyes like a flame of fire.

On His head were many crowns.  Where did these crowns come from?  We only need to refer back to Revelation chapter 4:

10 the twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying:

​11 ​​“You are worthy, O Lord,

​​To receive glory and honor and power;

​​For You created all things,

​​And by Your will they exist and were created.”

I believe the “very elect” who are closest to the Throne provide the crowns of overcoming victory as now being depicted on the “head” of Jesus.  He has the full authority to judge all mankind for they have come to the end of their appointed time.  There was a name written no man knew even though Jesus was known by many names such as Immanuel, Son of man, Son of GOD, and over 200 other names.  In Scripture, a name represented the character and nature of that person and in verse 11 He was called True and Faithful.  Those following Him have also taken on these attributes.  In Jesus’ case, the fullness of His character is beyond knowing except by FATHER:

Matthew 11:25   At that time Jesus answered and said, “I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and have revealed them to babes.

26   Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight.

27   All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him.

His robe dipped in blood denotes the ministry of the doves of His second coming and of everlasting peace.  The “house” being cleansed of death in this case is the whole earth (Leviticus 14:5-7).  This blood is a sign to all that FATHER will restore all to life and Jesus is fully victorious over death.

What a glorious scene to see Our Lord and His armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses.  They are not only members of the Bride of Christ without spot or wrinkle but were “elected” to take part in the ministry of reconciliation of all mankind.  They have been endued with power and authority to minister life as well with the Commander-in-Chief leading them directly into battle.  They have mounted the war horses of righteousness in full strength and will not be denied victory for they have been perfected in Love resulting in overcoming faith.

The Word of FATHER is that sharp two-edged sword and Jesus has this sword in His mouth.  It will be used to circumcise the flesh from the heart once and for all.  Death will no longer surround the heart and keep it from receiving the living Word of GOD.  Men’s traditions will be removed and discarded and their manipulation and control will no longer impact the hearts and minds of men as before.  The intent of men will now be exposed and judged accordingly:

Hebrews 4:12   For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

If you will recall in Revelation 2:27, the rod of iron is associated with breaking up the vessels of dishonor (found in the corrupt church) in order to remold them into vessels of honor:

‘He shall rule them with a rod of iron;
They shall be dashed to pieces like the potter’s vessels’—
as I also have received from My Father;

Love does not waste anything!  Jesus will tread the winepress to be assured that the fulfillment of the final harvest of Tabernacles will be complete.  The fierceness of this act is an indication of the complete focus and attention to the fullness of the harvest.  None will be allowed to escape this treading down of unrighteousness.  All will be subjected to the “fiery” Word in order that a full and complete cleansing occurs and that my friend is a good thing.

On His robe and thigh are the words- KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.  This white robe of righteousness is possessed and worn by the King of Kings.  HE has overcome death and now leads mankind into victory.  The emblem on the thigh speaks of “THE WAY”.  This denotes a man’s walk and resulting actions of his intent.  Jesus met all the tests and trials that would challenge His calling, His path was sure.  This path became known as “The Way” as He spoke the Words in John chapter 14:

6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me”.

All attention is on the KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.

Revelation 19:6   And I heard, as it were, the voice of a great multitude, as the sound of many waters and as the sound of mighty thunderings, saying, “Alleluia! For the Lord God Omnipotent reigns!

7   Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready.”

8   And to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.

9   Then he said to me, “Write: ‘Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb!’ ” And he said to me, “These are the true sayings of God.”

10   And I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, “See that you do not do that! I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”

Was there every any question whether Our Heavenly Father would be victorious?  After all, HE created Heaven, earth, and all that is contained therein.  The Creator is supreme to the created and HIS Divine Love oversaw all the events that were to come to pass.

The restoration of mankind is a three-step process:  spirit, soul, and finally body.  Each of the three feasts focus on a different aspect of this restoration: salvation (Passover), sanctification (Pentecost), and glorification (Tabernacles).  This Fifth Gospel of “The Revelation of Jesus Christ” has been prophesying these three processes and providing us understanding of the battles and victories being achieved as we are about to close the Age of Pentecost.  By HIS Divine Plan, the Sons have been born out of the church and separated out for HIS conscription into the Army of Jesus Christ.  These overcomers are full of Love and understand their mission and thus serve at the pleasure of FATHER.  They are becoming “one” with HIM, day by day, moment by moment.

FATHER’S Glory and Power is now expressed in full appreciation by the multitudes in all nations and tongues.  HIS Glory is now been revealed and accepted by HIS Bride, the true church, the New Jerusalem.  First HIS Glory is revealed in Jesus, then the Sons, now the church who is clean and bright without spot or wrinkle.  This bride has been a long time coming but now the marriage supper is at hand.  Just as Esther was prepared during two separate periods, one with oil of myrrh, and another period with perfumes and preparations for beautifying women, the bride of Christ went through two “ages” of preparation.  Upon Esther’s time of preparation, the day of acceptance finally came where she was accepted, loved, and a marriage feast was called forth:

Esther 2:17 The king loved Esther more than all the other women, and she obtained grace and favor in his sight more than all the virgins; so he set the royal crown upon her head and made her queen instead of Vashti.

18 Then the king made a great feast, the Feast of Esther…

The Bride of Jesus Christ is made up of those who are fitly joined together and have received the revelation of HIS Love.  “Not my will, but YOUR Will be done” is their declaration upon full submission to HIM.  The harlot who would attempt to be the substitute for HIS Bride has now been removed from the picture.  The marriage of the spirit and soul is at hand.  The body will soon follow, completing the glorification process.  The betrothal period is finished and the Bride is now ready for the presentation to the Groom.  The Bride takes on the name and character of the Husband.  She gives up her own identity and accepts His.  They become “one” and she is the recipient of HIS Life and responds to His Intent and direction.

In the parable of the Wedding Feast found in Matthew chapter 22, Jesus shared the reality that only those who are available and have on their wedding garments (robes of righteousness) are welcomed to the glorious feast.

14 “For many are called, but few are chosen.”

I believe those who met the requirements are the overcomers who have joined FATHER around HIS Throne.  They will be the among the participants of the long awaited Wedding Feast.  Only those who FATHER knows are invited to share this great time of celebration.  They have been cleansed, purified, and perfected by the Living Word and are able to put on the robe of righteousness.  There are those who focused on being prepared, and others who simply were distracted on the temporal things of man.  The latter did not attend.

John was overwhelmed and fell at the feet of the messenger to worship him.  Immediately, the messenger responded “Don’t worship me”.  We must remember to not worship the “created”.  This includes Mary, the mother of Jesus.  She was a submitted vessel with a calling just like the rest of us.  This is why she told the servants at the Wedding feast of Cana:

John 2:5 His mother said to the servants, “Whatever He says to you, do it.”

This wedding feast of Cana is found only in the Beloved Disciple’s first Gospel of Love.  It was a type and shadow of this wedding feast John is now seeing by the Spirit in the Third Heaven.  Jesus and His disciples were invited to the initial wedding  just as the overcomers were invited to this final wedding feast.  The feast at Cana ran out of wine for Tabernacles had not yet been fulfilled.  Jesus had to turn the 153 gallons of water into wine so that it could be served to the attendees.  Under the command of Jesus Christ, the very elect lead the overcomers into the fullness of Tabernacles where there will be no scarcity of wine for the harvest of Tabernacles is the grape.  There will be no lack of wine to celebrate the Bridegroom and His spotless Bride.

Revelation 19:1   After these things I heard a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, “Alleluia! Salvation and glory and honor and power belong to the Lord our God!

2   For true and righteous are His judgments, because He has judged the great harlot who corrupted the earth with her fornication; and He has avenged on her the blood of His servants shed by her.”

3   Again they said, “Alleluia! Her smoke rises up forever and ever!”

4   And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who sat on the throne, saying, “Amen! Alleluia!”

5   Then a voice came from the throne, saying, “Praise our God, all you His servants and those who fear Him, both small and great!”

When you have the revelation of Love revealed to you by FATHER, you respond with great joy and reverence.  It is by HIS great wondrous power and authority that we have our being.  Our eyes have been opened to HIS majesty and finally realize that there is nothing above or beyond HIM and HIS Divine Intent.  All of creation is subject to HIM.  Once we have seen the vastness of HIS Glory can we begin to understand our position relative to HIM and HIS Love.  We will no longer throw around the term “awesome” but will only apply this word to HIM and HIS works.  Babylon has ceased and its impact on us has been removed.  The smoke resulting from her judgment rises forever.  It is done!  The corruption and impurity of the soul has been judged and removed.

Those in the city, the New Jerusalem, bring forth praise in a loud voice of unity.  The great multitude fills the city now.  Those closest to the Throne speak forth the confirmation as a second witness saying “Amen! and Alleluia!”.  They are those who were among the “very elect” who were called to bring the Age of Pentecost to a close.  These are those who Jesus spoke of when He affirmed that they would not be deceived by the harlot:

Matthew 24:24   For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

I am convinced that those closest to the Throne have the greatest revelation of HIS Divine Intent of Love.  I have heard the teaching over the years that the 24 elders around the Throne were the 12 heads of the tribes of Israel and the 12 disciples of Christ.  However, I believe those around the Throne are those who are the very elect and were chosen by FATHER and given the full revelation of Love.  Their faith has been perfected by Love:

Galatians 5:6   For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.

This passage differentiates faith working by Love from faith without Love.  The Pentecostal Age promoted faith but left out the most important aspect required for faith to work in an optimal manner… Love!  Men were attempting to exercise faith for finances and healing yet they failed to focus on Love.  This is why they were unsuccessful and ended up causing the “faith” message to be maligned.  The very elect were not deceived by the misappropriation of revelation and continued maturing in all aspects of the promises of FATHER, including faith.  They were letting patience have its perfect work and were observing and overcoming the abuses brought forth by Mystery Babylon.

Those who persevered through the trials and tests are now full of joy.  Their hearts are bubbling over with exuberance.  The finality of the veil being removed from the eyes of those who inhabit the earth brings for such joy and appreciation for FATHER’S great and mighty plan of Love coming forth for all mankind to see.  HIS Love surpasses our greatest expectation and what else can we say but “Alleluia” and “Amen”!

This scene is Heaven was foreshadowed by the close of the previous Age of Passover when Jesus made His triumphant entry into Jerusalem in Luke chapter 19:

37   Then, as He was now drawing near the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works they had seen,

38   saying:

​​“ ‘​Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the LORD!’

​​Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”

We are now at the inflection point ending this age and the impact on mankind will be great and disruptive to many.  There will be a great and violent shaking as the fullness of HIS wrath comes forth.  But on the other side, there will be great rejoicing and we must embrace the Truth that HIS Love will prevail and bring forth peace to all mankind.  John was given the revelation of Our Lord Jesus Christ for our benefit as we enter the final phase of Mystery Babylon’s fall.  All of this must be viewed as positive and encouraging to us as we see the world events unfold.  We must focus our attention of the moment by moment communication with FATHER who Loves us beyond our understanding.  As we comprehend HIS Love we can place our full trust IN HIM to lead us and guide us through to the other side.  Once we arrive, you can be assured we all will take part in speaking forth HIS Praises among the great multitude.

Revelation 18:21  Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, “Thus with violence the great city Babylon shall be thrown down, and shall not be found anymore.

22  The sound of harpists, musicians, flutists, and trumpeters shall not be heard in you anymore. No craftsman of any craft shall be found in you anymore, and the sound of a millstone shall not be heard in you anymore.

23  The light of a lamp shall not shine in you anymore, and the voice of bridegroom and bride shall not be heard in you anymore. For your merchants were the great men of the earth, for by your sorcery all the nations were deceived.

24  And in her was found the blood of prophets and saints, and of all who were slain on the earth.”

Great violence is a judgment against the religious system of men.  This system is born out of the souls of men and cause those who are young in Christ to stumble thus they will receive the full wrath of FATHER.  Jesus warned of this eventuality when He spoke the following words in Luke chapter 17:

1  Then He said to the disciples, “It is impossible that no offenses should come, but woe to him through whom they do come!

2  It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.

3  Take heed to yourselves. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.

4  And if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times in a day returns to you, saying, ‘I repent,’ you shall forgive him.”

Those who are immature in the LORD stumble often for they have not yet become mature enough to place their flesh and/or soul in subjection.  They are at least partially blinded and will offend others.  Those who hold those sins over others and exploit them are subject to a greater judgment.  A millstone is used to grind wheat into powder and what better type and shadow to communicate that none will be lost than the judgment of the millstone.  The powder is refined for great use, not thrown away.  Breaking up clay into powder allows the Potter to reform the clay into a vessel of honor.  With Love, nothing and nobody are wasted.

The religious nature of the city of Babylon will be judged and found no more.  It exalted itself above FATHER but has now been judged and cast down from its derivative authority only given it by perception, not reality.  A city is a dwelling place and where you dwell determines your priorities.  Who or what is your highest priority?  As I have said many times in the past, just look at your calendar and your bank account… those are good indicators of your priorities.  Are you a giver or a taker?  After an encounter, are people better off or worse off upon your departure?  Do you promote life or death?

The musicians will no longer be found among the religious system.  As a musician myself, I have an appreciation for the difference between songs of praise and worship and songs that excite the flesh and soul.  Many of the “praise and worship” services have become anything but.  Spirit-led praise and worship brings forth manifestations of HIS Presence.  Those other services will be judged accordingly.

The laborers will also be removed from the “city”.  Labor of the soul will be replaced by the labor of Love.  A new economic system will emerge and no longer will lies be used to validate other lies.  The current system is replete with statistics that are meaningless and misrepresent the reality of the current state.  On a personal level, people try to project themselves to be something they are not.  Labor will no longer be used to promote religion but instead will further the Kingdom of FATHER.  Peace will spread as men are no longer left to their soulish devices to make a living or feed their family.  The positive will replace the negative, motivated by Love.

The light of a lamp refers to the “anointing” and revelation that have been allowed during the Pentecostal Age.  The parable of the Ten Virgins refers to the five foolish vrgins who failed to keep their lamps trimmed with oil.  In one respect, it refers to those who have lost their first Love just as the angel warned the church at Ephesus in Revelation chapter 2.  Without Love you are performing dead works.  Your first Love requires you to Love first and the bride is one who has Love at her forefront of consciousness.  She looks to the bridegroom to complete her and she submits fully to him.  She takes on His name and His character.  Her body becomes His just as the Body of Christ submits to the Head.  Those who lost their first Love substituted religion for Love.  The sold themselves to their idols and merchandised what little anointing that was left.  The fruitfulness of their first Love began to wither away until they had no Truth left to support them.

The sacrifices of Love by the prophets and saints must be reconciled for their work was not in vain.  They planted seeds of righteousness that sprang forth and demanded fruitfulness to be reckoned unto them.  Their blood was not in vain but was meant to bring forth the reconciliation of all mankind.  It was and is their intercessory work coming to fruition.  The finality of Babylon’s fall is proof that their blood was not spilled in vain.  We honor the commitment and persistence of the calling given to them by Father.  Let Babylon’s fall and removal from us be completed soon.

Revelation 18:14   The fruit that your soul longed for has gone from you, and all the things which are rich and splendid have gone from you, and you shall find them no more at all.

15 The merchants of these things, who became rich by her, will stand at a distance for fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,

16 and saying, ‘Alas, alas, that great city that was clothed in fine linen, purple, and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls!

17 For in one hour such great riches came to nothing.’ Every shipmaster, all who travel by ship, sailors, and as many as trade on the sea, stood at a distance

18 and cried out when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, ‘What is like this great city?’

19 “They threw dust on their heads and cried out, weeping and wailing, and saying, ‘Alas, alas, that great city, in which all who had ships on the sea became rich by her wealth! For in one hour she is made desolate.’

20 “Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you holy apostles and prophets, for God has avenged you on her!”

The “fruit of the soul” represents the maturity or fullness of the soul and its resulting outcome and expression.  When man develops his soul at the expense of his spirit, religion is the result.  His mind generates ideas that result in earthly idols to worship.  His mind exalts the created over the creator.  His lawlessness moves him toward perversity rather than holiness even to the point of redefining the meaning of basic principles such as life and marriage.  When the soul is placed in charge, the result is a taskmaster who is never satisfied.  When the soul of man is exposed for what it is, there is a time of mourning for the emotions are saddened by the loss of “self” which is replaced by “selflessness” of Love.  As Agape Love strengthens us, the time of mourning is minimal and we move on to the glorious calling set aside uniquely for each of us.

The self-preservation aspect of the ego will distance itself from any impending judgment if possible.  If there is an outward judgment of the soul of man, the ego will attempt to go underground until the judgment has past.  In this hour that will no longer be possible for nothing will be hidden:

Psalm 44:20 ​​If we had forgotten the name of our God,

​​Or stretched out our hands to a foreign god,

21 ​​Would not God search this out?

​​For He knows the secrets of the heart.

A shipmaster governs the direction of the ship.  He determines the path taken.  Our minds will view the destruction of the religious harlot and see the necessity to keep a safe distance from this destruction lest our soul be fully sucked into judgment.  When a ship is in peril, its merchandise or “fruit” is tossed overboard in order that it may survive the storm.  Every carnal thought will be jettisoned away from the “ship”:

2 Corinthians 10:5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,

6 and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.

When judgment comes to our souls, there is a notable corrective interview about our priorities.  There are those who “pinched” pennies as though pennies were scarce and they place supreme importance by hoarding of wealth.  That subtle aspect of greed will be exposed and judged.  Others have attempted to habitually manipulate others by making people feel guilty by not living up to some mind-generated standard of conditional love.  That too will be judged.  “If you loved me, then you would…” has been their mantra whether voiced or simply thought.  Religion is conditional by nature.  If you perform then you are accepted.  If you don’t perform, then you must pay the price, you will be punished by various mind games.  The soul is harsh in its judgments against others and FATHER’S Love will soon expose the fruit of the soul in those who have taken the path of religion and soulish acts and responses.

There are those who produce fruit of the soul and are known by such fruit.  Then there are those who produce fruit of the Spirit:

Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.

24 And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

26 Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.

It is time to be a fruit inspector!

Revelation 18:9   “The kings of the earth who committed fornication and lived luxuriously with her will weep and lament for her, when they see the smoke of her burning,

10 standing at a distance for fear of her torment, saying, ‘Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! For in one hour your judgment has come.’

11 “And the merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her, for no one buys their merchandise anymore:

12 merchandise of gold and silver, precious stones and pearls, fine linen and purple, silk and scarlet, every kind of citron wood, every kind of object of ivory, every kind of object of most precious wood, bronze, iron, and marble;

13 and cinnamon and incense, fragrant oil and frankincense, wine and oil, fine flour and wheat, cattle and sheep, horses and chariots, and bodies and souls of men.

14 The fruit that your soul longed for has gone from you, and all the things which are rich and splendid have gone from you, and you shall find them no more at all.

The period of mourning is not about the “departed”, it is about the one who is left and how long it takes to release the emotional attachment to the departed.  The mourner’s soul is the issue.  The “kings of the earth” are those in leadership roles of the religious system and they will be the ones who suffer the greatest loss.  Their temporal positions of power and authority will disintegrate by the fire of FATHER’S judgment.  Their time of exploitation will be at an end.

Notice that the kings distance themselves from the harlot system… so much for their loyalty to her.  The others who benefited from the harlot system are the merchants.  Consider all of the resources we have expended and sent down the “black hole” of the religious system while our brothers were in need.  When you look at the list of merchandise, you find that it all went into the church edifice for one purpose or another.  The walls, the altar, window coverings, the various sacrifices, and most of all- the bodies and souls of men.

The body of a man represents his labor and the soul of man represents his thinking and intent.  Mystery Babylon managed to use up the bodies and souls of men and the merchants were more than willing to promote this expenditure.  Their greed was more important than the souls of men.  Their lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, and pride of life motivated them to exploit mankind and resources for a temporal high in their own souls.  Now they weep and lament over the loss of their means to continue their path of greed.  The “fruit” of their soul has gone from them.  Their worldly trappings have been stripped away and they will find them no more.

The mind, will, and emotion found in the souls of the kings and merchants will be judged accordingly.  Those fleshly desires deep within the soul will be exposed by the fiery Word and they will weep when they realize the futility of their past actions and will be full of regret.  Everything they stood for will be gone in one hour.  They will finally see the lack of Agape Love in their lives and they will mourn over all their accomplishments that meant nothing in the end.

Another aspect of this passage is that the “kings” of the earth represent the ego which continually looks to place man in servitude and have man worship those things that appease the ego such as self-gratification, self-preservation, and self-exaltation.  Anything that leads you away from unity with FATHER must be classified as adultery, that is to say the “act of fornication”.  The Bride of Christ is meant to be in unity with Jesus, not religion.  The children of Israel committed adultery with idols who kept their focus away from unity with Jehovah.  Anything or anyone that keeps you from being “one” with the Love of Our Heavenly Father promotes adultery.  Any intent within you that causes you to depart from FATHER’S Love and intimacy is adulterous as well.  The act of adultery is simply the outworking of the internal, the intent.  The issue is on the inside and that is where it must be dealt with.

The merchants can be viewed as those who promote religion for money for it is big business.  There is nothing wrong with being a cheerful giver and/or receiver based on the intent of Love.  When you are made to feel guilty if you don’t give, there is no cheerfulness.  When religious doctrine creates laws and traditions that extract money to perpetuate its agenda, you have promoted the harlot system.

Those who have promoted the religious system will soon be in mourning.  Their support structure will evaporate as FATHER reveals the harlot system to those who unwittingly supported it.  HE will do so by raising the standard of Truth in Love.  HIS Love expressed by HIS very elect will be irresistible and like a magnet, it will pull those in servitude out of their bondage to the harlot as well as its kings and merchants.  O what a glorious and joyful day that will be!

Revelation 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues.

5 For her sins have reached to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.

6 Render to her just as she rendered to you, and repay her double according to her works; in the cup which she has mixed, mix double for her.

7 In the measure that she glorified herself and lived luxuriously, in the same measure give her torment and sorrow; for she says in her heart, ‘I sit as queen, and am no widow, and will not see sorrow.’

8 Therefore her plagues will come in one day—death and mourning and famine. And she will be utterly burned with fire, for strong is the Lord God who judges her.

The Love of FATHER even comes forth when sin and lawlessness have reached their apex.  There is no time when HIS Love is withdrawn for it is HIS primary Intent.  By now if you haven’t realized that Truth, you must revisit John 3:16, Jesus died for the ungodly which includes all of mankind.  At the eleventh hour and fifty-ninth minute, FATHER is still in the business of recovering lost souls out of the impending judgment to be brought forth.  Just as HE would have spared Sodom and Gomorrah for a few righteous souls, HE has been longsuffering with Mystery Babylon, the great harlot religious system.

In the Book of Exodus, the Law demanded restitution when the property of one was stolen.  The thief was to pay double for the offense.  This is the applicable judgment for the great harlot religious system stealing the “property” of FATHER, HIS people.  The harlot has been stealing men and women from the Kingdom.  All vessels belong to FATHER and your “earth” will be ground to dust if you are found to be a vessel of dishonor so that your “earth” can be reworked into one of honor.  FATHER wastes nothing of HIS creation.  There are no throwaways. 

To each of us, Love says “Come out of sin and iniquity”.  No longer participate in the earthy, temporal, and empty religious dead works.  Come up hither and have a personal and direct communication with FATHER Who longs to express HIS Love to you.  FATHER’S Glory departed manmade temples long ago and has taken up residence in our individual temples when invited to do so.  HE is not some distant God who is too busy to live and abide with and in you on a moment by moment basis.  Even as the Father celebrated the return of the prodigal son who finally came to an end and the culmination of life among the self-gratification of swine, FATHER awaits the return of each of HIS children.  Are we at the point of “Last call” before the judgments of FATHER come forth?

The law of equal weights and measures demands that the victims be repaid.  Those who have been in authority of the various facets of Mystery Babylon will receive their just reward.  This will not be a time of great fear and dread as much as it will be a time of rejoicing.  The yoke of bondage is at an end.  What liberty there is when the weights have been lifted from us and we no longer live as beasts of burden in the Pentecost realm.  Jesus sat on the ass and overcame the life of burden placed on us by the world system as He made His journey to the cross.

Throughout my travels in other countries, you could always find the center of activity in villages, towns, and cities.  Most of the time it was the church edifice.  Its steeple towered over the rest of the buildings close by and its architecture set it apart from the rest of the village.  The wealth of the local people was sucked into a building hoping to bring forth the Glory of GOD.  If the church was ornate enough, maybe HE would show up more frequently.  Possibly if the altar was covered with gold and silver, HE would be moved to respond.  The religious harlot adorned herself with external jewels and other luxuries as those who sit on the pews were in dire need.  They must have forgotten the words of Jesus in Matthew 18:

19   “Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven.

20   For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.”

What about Paul’s urging to separate from the harlot in 1 Corinthians 6:

15 Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a harlot? Certainly not!

16 Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body with her? For “the two,” He says, “shall become one flesh.”

17 But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him.

With whom are you joined, FATHER or the harlot?  Whomever you align yourself with, you become “one”.  I choose FATHER.  The harlot’s lure has lost her appeal in my life.  FATHER’S Divine Intent is for us to come out of her and become one with HIM.  Now we can better understand the Words of Jesus in John Chapter 14:

10   Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works.

11   Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves.

Now is the time to become ONE with FATHER.  Do not delay but set aside the noise of the world and focus on communicating with HIM on a moment by moment basis.  World events are rapidly coming to a conclusion and those who are chosen must come out of the system immediately.  There is no escaping the impending judgment but those who are chosen will be “passed over” by the Blood of the Lamb as the fullness of HIS wrath comes forth to judge the world system.  It is not a time to be scared but to be fully prepared and at peace that surpasses man’s understanding.  Be assured that HIS Love has the solutions to the problems that currently plague mankind.  HE knows the best way to conduct business during the post-judgment period.  The Kingdom will be set up in accordance the principles of Love and Truth.  Now is the time to come out of the harlot system and prepare for the Glory to come forth!

Revelation 18:1   After these things I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was illuminated with his glory.

2   And he cried mightily with a loud voice, saying, “Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and a cage for every unclean and hated bird!

3  For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury.”

A beast, a harlot, and a corrupt city have all pointed to Mystery Babylon.  A city is where people congregate and dwell and this particular city is described as great confusion surrounded by mystery.  The sin and lawlessness has reached its climax of corruption as the drunkenness has moved to an extreme of self-gratification.  The masses have worshipped the corruptible and the fruit of this path has come to its fullness.  The merchants are traffickers of religions who have become wealthy by exploiting the lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, and pride of life by supplying all the external trappings of a corporate substitute to a direct, personal relationship with FATHER.  This is in lieu of putting of incorruption and have everlasting life.  The people were blinded to The Way.  They ended up worshipping the corruptible dead works of man.

At an individual level, the corruptible are to put on incorruption and death is swallowed up in victory as Paul states in 1 Corinthians 15:

50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption.

51 Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed—

52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

54 So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.”

On a personal level, Mystery Babylon will at some some point fall in us and be removed from us.  The confusion promoted by the carnal mind will no longer be tolerated, it will be judged and we will then see the vanity associated with past customs and traditions.  We will no longer be blinded by “self” and continue in dead works.  We will put on the Mind of Christ and only be guided by the Words of FATHER.  Peace and simplicity will prevail in our lives.  The trappings of this world will no longer be of any value to us.  We look for opportunities to perform acts of kindness, a far cry from the mindset of Mystery Babylon which only seeks to exploit others.

At a corporate level, It certainly appears that we are at the fullness of time where the fall is at hand.  Among those I am in contact with, there is a sense of urgency unlike the past.  I look forward to flowing IN HIM every moment in each day to see what that day brings.  Moment by moment we live and have our being IN HIM.  This Fifth Gospel is not popular among the masses.  Instead, they would rather have their minds tickled with some intricate, complex solution to a puzzle.  They understand not the simplicity of Christ and have lost their first Love and the intimate relationship with FATHER.  They want to “do” rather than “be”.  Their souls are anxious and unfulfilled.  They have no path to peace for they have rejected the revelation of Love.  I am convinced that Love is the foundation by which the very elect will operate from.  When Mystery Babylon falls, Love will be the answer and the remedies to the problems will only be found from a perspective of Agape Love.

The incorruptible will fill the vacuum created by the fall of Babylon.  The foul spirits and the unclean will be cast out.  The self-exalting spirit will give way to those who are led by HIS Spirit.  Deceit and corruption will be exposed in the twinkling of an eye and wiped away by the Standard of Truth.  We will all either participate in, observe, or be recipients of the greatest fall the earth has seen.  What will be your vantage point?
