Dear Readers,
I am going to leave this post as a constant feature at the top of this Main Page.
All new posts will be entered below it.

Since I first started this Blog, many readers have transferred their online reading from a computer, to a cell phone. Unless the phone reader makes compensation, the pop-up scripture feature, will not function. That loss is grave, because any wisdom in my work, is found in the cited scriptures. One of my cell phone readers has informed me, how you can compensate. I will put her words and picture, below:
"One way to overcome the scriptures not being able to be opened on the iPhone or any phone is to direct the audience to click the web version. If you scroll all the way to the end of the blog and right above the “About Me,” you will see a “Home” button. Directly underneath the Home button is a link “view web version.” Click that link. You will then be able to click scripture links. A soft click on a scripture link will create a pop up of the scripture. A hard click on the scripture link will open that scripture in another window bringing you to, for example, the blueletterbible or biblegateway websites with the scripture you clicked to read."
With whatever device you are using...
I request and advise that all cited scriptures be read. Most of your learning will occur while reading the cited scriptures. They will pop up for computer users, if you hover your cursor over them. Much of the theme and thrust of the article, as well as connecting points, will be found only as the scriptures are read. I leave many holes around my own words, which can only be filled and bridged by the scriptures contained.
I do realize that following this suggestion, takes time.
I hope you take the time needed, perhaps reading one post in sections, so that all scriptures can be read and their relevance, deeply considered as you come to them.
Please consider structuring your studies in this way,
because reading my words only, is a sad waste of both of our time.

There are currently, over 800 posts and additional blogs in my profile.
Introductory articles can be found in the right-side column, at the top of this page.
These readings should give you the foundation you need, in order to consider and understand more fully the current posts. A consideration of the scriptures they contain, should provide greater assurance about the deeper interpretation and application of God's Word, which is progressively posted here.

The underpinning scriptural truths of every post, will not usually be discussed again if that information has already has been covered. Please make full use of the search-box when needed.
If assistance is still desired, there is a contact box to message me, found in the right side column of this page.

I also welcome you to post comments under each post.
If you do not speak English, you can translate your comment into English by using the link to follow: https://translate.google.com/
You can also use the Google Translate tool, to submit existing English comments and replies from other readers, and then read them in your own language.

For ANY question which arises or remains, during or after your study;
there is a contact form, also within the right-side column. Please feel welcomed to use it.
I will be able to refer you to the appropriate material, or I will answer you directly. If you do not want your question and my reply to be published, please specify that wish within your message to me.

If you are searching a scripture, rather than a subject;
consider also searching that scripture's cross reference.
In other words, if you want information about Mark 13:8; also consider searching Matt.24:7,8;
because I may have written about that scriptural subject, using Matt.24:7,8 instead of Mark 13:8. If you need help with that, contact me.

One of our readers told me this helpful tip about search results...
After your search result page shows up...
If you press "control" (ctrl) then press "F" at the same time, another little search box appears.
I put my same search word(s) (or scriptural verse) in that new search box.
After clicking "enter", that search word(s) (or Bible verses) were highlighted on my result page.

Please enter the site by a direct search for "pearl doxsey", or for "4womaninthewilderness",
unless the URL is saved on your PC.
If you wish to help our Google rating, do a search for a Bible topic that you know is addressed by this Blog, and then click on the result for this site.
Every time a search result ends in another visit here, the Google rating improves, along with the site's visibility to new searchers. However, please do not enter the site repeatedly through one particular post, or by searching on a search engine repeatedly for the same subject or post. When that is done, it adversely affects the list of "Popular posts of the Week" from refreshing. Other topics of reader interest are then crowded off the list of highlighted links. It is best to keep that list fresh, for the interest of new readers and availability of new topics.

We live during a time of revelation. New concepts and interpretations are becoming unveiled (Dan.12:4,9; Hab.2:3; Rev.22:10; 20:12). Many of these things are deeper and more complex than what we were previously taught. Many run contrary to the Satanic deceptions to which we as former "Jehovah's Witnesses" subscribed, and which have become deeply entrenched within our perceptions.
Such doctrine must be overturned consciously, by effort and grace, which only by a careful and intense scriptural study, can this be done for us.
As always, if any questions arise, there is a contact form on the right side of this page.

If you appreciate what you are learning here,
you are welcomed to join the forum or Facebook group, for support.
Both links are found at the top of this post.

I have deep appreciation for the many expressions I receive from readers, and hope that you will send me feedback and any suggestions for improving the reading experience. Please feel welcomed to use the contact form in the right side column of this page.
If you believe the scriptural things you learn here;
please share those scriptures and the truth they reveal, with others.
This can be done on the various internet forums which cater especially to "Jehovah's Witness", ex-"Jehovah's Witnesses", and the ideology, mindset, and experience of each.

May God continue to answer our sincere requests for heavenly bread (Matt.6:11; John 6:27,35,51,58,55; 14:21,6; Rev.2:17), which we receive through the true vine, and his faithful branches (John15:4,5,8;  1Cor. 4:1).
May God bless all of you with spirit and truth (John 4:23-24), and the eternal blessing to follow for those who worship according to them
(John 8:31; 6:63;  2John 1:9).
Love in Christ,
Pearl

Babylon the Great

What or who, is Babylon the Great?
Rev.17:5
"5 On her (the prostitute's) forehead was written a name, a mystery: Babylon the Great, the Mother of Prostitutes and of the Abominations of the Earth."

- To have a name on your forehead, has meaning. It is the name of your master who you obey and serve (Rev.7:3; 14:1; Deut.11:18).

Clearly discerned by the scriptures above, Babylon the Great is a mother of the prostitute who has that mother's name on her forehead. The harlot is the daughter of Babylon the Great 
(Psalm 137:8; Zech.2:7).

Now, what does it mean to be a mother?
Of course, just as the name on the forehead must be interpreted by scripture, so do the mothers who are served and obeyed.
Mothers are where we come from, the spiritual matrix that spawns us.
Gal.4:26 reads;
"26 But the Jerusalem above is free, and she is our mother."
The "virgins" in Revelation have Jerusalem above (spiritual city: Rev.21:2,10; Matt.5:14) as their source/mother (Lam.2:13; Rev.3:12) written on them.
The "harlots" in Revelation have Babylon the Great (spiritual city: Rev.18:10) as their source/mother, written on them (Rev.17:5). These cities are also depicted as spiritual, prominent mountains (Rev.8:8; 18:21; Zech.4:7) (Rev.14:1; Matt.5:14).

Spiritual virgins are those who have no lie in their mouth (Rev.14:4-5). Their mother is free, because the virgins spring from a source of truth. As Jesus said, "You will know the truth and the truth will set you free." (John 8:32). Divine truth means life, which comes from a living mother (Rev.22:17).

As Paul said at 2Cor.11:3-4, "2 For I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy, because I have promised you in marriage to one husband—*to present a pure virgin to Christ.* 3 But I fear that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, your minds may be seduced from a sincere and pure devotion to Christ."
-- Here we see the danger, that "virgins" can lose their standard of truth and fidelity to it, by being seduced by the great deceiver. 
By leaving the Lord of truth, they can fall prey to deception, no longer being virginal in their spirit.

Truth is the source of life (John 14:6; 6:63;  2Tim.1:10). 
Deception creates death (2Cor.4:3-4;  2Thess.2:10; John 8:44).

Is this what has happened to the "harlots" (1Cor.15:18)? 
What is the source of their being deceived and taken captive to deception (Col.2:8)?
How is this connected to who the mother of the harlots is?

We read at Gal.4:26 that Jerusalem above is free (free of deception, sin, and death). 
But Gal.4:24 explains more clearly, what an allegorical "mother" actually is...
" 24 These things are being taken figuratively, for the women represent two covenants."

So, we have a heavenly woman/mother that is a covenant of life, truth, and spiritual light.
Is there a mother covenant of death, deception, and darkness... whose name is Babylon the Great?
Isaiah 28 speaks to the harlots...
"15 Because you have said, “We have made a covenant with death,
And with Sheol we are in agreement. (Link: What is Sheol/Hades?)
When the overflowing scourge sweeps through (Rev.12:15;  2Pet.3:17),
It will not come to us,
For we have made lies our refuge,
And under falsehood we have hidden ourselves.”
18 Your covenant with death will be annulled,
And your agreement with Sheol (abyss/Hades) will not stand;
When the overflowing scourge passes through,
Then you will be trampled down by it."

The mother covenant over the spiritual harlots, is a covenant of death, deception, and treachery. That mother covenant's name is Babylon the Great. This is the covenant who the harlots are branded by and serving. They deserted Jesus, the source of truth and life. But worse, they serve up falsehood (poisoned waters) to others (Rev.8:10-11; Rev.17:15; 14:8) instead of the living water offered by the virgins (Rev.22:17) in imitation of Jesus (John 4:10). 

The harlots teach their followers, false doctrine. They are blind guides who lead others into a pit (Sheol) (Prov.5:3-5).
(Link to some of these verses:

We also see that Babylon the Great is the mother covenant of the abominations of the earth (Rev.17:5).
This includes the abomination of desolation (Matt.24:15; Mark 13:14).

Babylon the Great. This mystery is solved for those who derive their interpretation from God's Word.

Christ's Presence

 I will provide links to the cited verses, in addition to the pop-up feature.

We know that the apostles did expect a return of Christ, after his ascension

As you can see from the foregoing scriptures; Jesus pointed to a return that would occur *after* the fall of Jerusalem in 70 CE, because Revelation was written after that, and the return he spoke of, contained features that did not occur in the first century.
In the mind of the apostles, the "end of the system" app lied to the Jewish system and covenant with God (Acts 1:6-7; Luke 19:11; John 16:12-13; Mark 9:12).
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts1%3A6-7%3B%20Luke19%3A11%3B%20John16%3A12-13%3B%20Mark9%3A12&version=NIV

They were not wrong, because as Matthew chapter 24 begins, it is a continuation from the end of Matt.23, where the apostles are talking to Jesus about the fall of the Jewish Temple. But by Jesus response, we see from some details, that he was describing the pattern to expect, when both God's covenants are fulfilled, and end. At the conclusion of them, there will always be those who were faithful, and those who were not (and the interaction between those two groups).
They did not fully understand that there would also be an end/fulfillment to the New Covenant, because covenants are also called promises, and God eventually fulfills His promise. ("End of New Covenant")
Jesus not only answered the apostles question about the imminent end of the Old Covenant, but included the signs regarding the end of the New.
The sign of Jesus' presence has many components. But Jesus told us, not to expect the signs to be fulfilled in an obvious way (Luke 17:20).
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke17%3A20&version=NIV

The very term, "sign of your presence", means, that it will occur through signs and symbols, not seen in a physical way... but perceived and recognized by means of insight, discernment, and spirit of prophecy... leading to understanding for those who listen
(please click on the footnote for "signified it" in Rev.1:1. You will see that the original Greek said, "Made it known through symbols")

So at the end of the New Covenant, the "sign of your presence" will occur in symbolic ways, made discernible through the spirit of Christ's angel/prophet, whom he would send to reveal his message.

-- But what did Jesus mean, by "presence"? The word means, "to be alongside", as in a yoke (Matt.11:28-30). There is much that could be said about what this means.... even about how the Wild Beast is said to be "alongside" those who are working with it, but do not recognize what actually is under the yoke of slavery, with them (Greek of Rev.17:8) (2Cor.6:14)... directing them in the demonic persecution of God's anointed.
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matt.11%3A28-30%3B%20Rev.17%3A8%3B%202Cor.6%3A14&version=NIV

Now to understand the connection between Jesus' presence, and the birth pangs (Great Tribulation and the Battle to result)....
There is much information to explain this. I am going to simplify it for the sake of this comment. But each point I make, should be researched and proven through the scriptures by an article on each subject. That first being understood, I will address that part of your question:...
1. Wormwood falls from heaven through a compromise of truth. When this false prophet chooses to teach lies, that is represented by opening Satan's abyss.
2. When Wormwood opens the abyss, Satan escapes his captivity, and the bonds previously imposed upon him by Christ, are loosed. Satan is then able, to mislead the body of Christ. They become captives of the abyss (Rev.13:7,10; Luke 21:24; Col.2:8), through trampling by its agents.
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Rev.13%3A7%2C10%3B%20Luke21%3A24%3B%20Col.2%3A8&version=CSB
3. Christ is appointed as head of the body, and charged by God to protect it, feed it, and defend it, as a husband does his wife. He assured us, that "I have not lost a single one which the Father has given me"

Dan.12:1 describes it this way;
"At that time Michael, the great prince who protects your people, will arise. There will be a time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning of nations until then. But at that time your people—everyone whose name is found written in the book—will be delivered."
--
Here you can see the connection between the unprecedented "time of distress" (Great Tribulation), and the "standing up" of "Michael" (the presence of Christ) to rescue "the remaining ones of the woman's seed".
("I protected them by that name you gave me" -John 17:12; Rev.3:12; 12:7; 20:7-8,9; 17:14; 12:15,17; Matt.24:7-8)
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Rev.3%3A12%3B%2012%3A7%3B%2020%3A7-9%3B%2017%3A14%3B%2012%3A15%2C17%3B%20Matt.24%3A7-8&version=NKJV

Dan.12:3-4,9-10 and Rev.20:12, describes the result:
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Dan.12%3A3-4%2C9-10%3B%20Rev.20%3A12&version=NKJV
Can you see that "knowledge will increase", and "scrolls are opened"? This is the same event (Luke 24:45).
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+24:45&version=NIV

This increase of knowledge of the truth (opening scrolls, including Revelation)... is actually the cause of Armageddon. When God's priests gain the dawn through the standing up of Jesus to defend against Satan's river of lies... the faithful stand up to the deception, and in imitation of Jesus, defend the truths they are receiving (2Cor.10:3-4,5; Rev.20:7-8; 16:13-14,15-16; 17:14; 19:11,14,8; Jude 1:14; Matt.26:64; Heb.12:1).
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2Cor.10%3A3-5%3B%20Rev.20%3A7-8%3B%2016%3A13-16%3B%2017%3A14%3B%2019%3A11%2C14%2C8%3B%20Jude1%3A14%3B%20Matt.26%3A64%3B%20Heb.12%3A1&version=NKJV

Mark 9:11-12 reads;
"11 And they asked Jesus, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?” 12 He replied, “Elijah does indeed come first, and he restores all things. Why then is it written that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected?"
When Jesus "returns" and is *again present with his priesthood* (sanctuary restored/priests working again under the high priest); those final priests must battle against wicked spirit forces in the heavenly places (Eph.6:10-11,12).
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Eph.6%3A10-12&version=NKJV

Naturally, this will not occur under pleasant circumstances... because Satan is unleashed, along with all his powerful hoards of both spirit and flesh. The result of this demonic attack, becomes manifest and discernible, by those able to recognize the "birth pangs" of the Great Tribulation, and the spiritual symbolism as the means by which, those signs are truly manifested among the anointed (Rev.12:2; John 16:19-20,21-22,23; Dan.9:24-25,26-27)
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Rev.12%3A2%3B%20John16%3A19-23%3B%20Dan.9%3A24-27&version=NKJV

No Rain

At Rev. 11:5-6 we read of the two witnesses (Rev. 11:3);
"5 And if anyone wants to harm them, fire proceeds from their mouth and devours their enemies. And if anyone wants to harm them, he must be killed in this manner. 6 These have power to shut heaven, so that no rain falls in the days of their prophecy; and they have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to strike the earth with all plagues, as often as they desire."

According to the "Revelation Climax" book 2006 printing, pages 165-166 shown below, 
those trying to harm the two witnesses, are interpreted as other religious organizations claiming to be Christian (termed by Watchtower as "Christendom").

The "fire from heaven" is claimed to be a 4-page Watchtower publication called "Kingdom News" along with other publications which would "expose Christendom's spiritually defunct condition". The drought caused by a lack of rain is interpreted to mean that the Jehovah's Witness organization exposes the "spiritual drought" of those other churches, meaning, a lack of spiritual waters.

 

Although some scriptures are offered to support the role of Moses and Elijah, fulfilled by the two witnesses; none of the scriptures provide the exact interpretations offered...
Specifically,
- that those seeking to harm the two witnesses are the churches of Christendom
- that the fire from heaven consists of Watchtower publications, notably "Kingdom News"
- that heaven being shut and the lack of rain, is the Watchtower's unveiling of a lack of spiritual waters available in other religions.

What I desire to publish in this post, is what the scriptures reveal as to the interpretation of Rev. 11:6 as I ask you to focus your attention on that verse's phrases, "These have power to shut heaven, so that no rain falls during the days of their prophesying".
As readers of this blog know, I always strive to offer scriptures for interpretation. The source of interpretative doctrine belongs to God (Gen. 40:8). This is the example of Jesus (John 12:49) and he should be our guide (John 16:13; 8:47).
So, lets take a tour of scripture to see what God's Word has to say about heaven being shut up, so that no rain falls. 
(Italicized and bold words are the scripture)(Words in brackets are mine)

Deut. 11:17 "Then the Lord’s anger will burn against you, and he will shut up the heavens so that it will not rain and the ground will yield no produce, and you will soon perish from the good land the Lord is giving you." (God promised the good land to His own people)

1Kings 8:35 "
“When the heavens are shut up and there is no rain because your (God's) people have sinned against you, and when they pray toward this place (God's temple) and give praise to your name and turn from their sin because you have afflicted them..."

2Chron.7: "11 When Solomon had finished the temple of the Lord and the royal palace, and had succeeded in carrying out all he had in mind to do in the temple of the Lord and in his own palace, 12 the Lord appeared to him at night and said:
“I have heard your prayer and have chosen this place for myself as a temple for sacrifices.
13 When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague among my people, 14 if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land." (remember Mal. 4:2)

What we learn from God's Word...
(Rom. 3:4; Matt. 15:9; 
1Cor. 1:25)
...is that when the heaven is shut so that no rain falls, it is because God's own people are being disciplined by God. Such discipline arrives due to their wickedness.

Please consider additional scriptures regarding God's own interpretation of His own prophecies:
Isa. 5:1-2,3-4,5-6,7 ; Jer. 3:1,2,3 ; Eze. 22:18,23-24,25-26,27-28 ; Zech. 14:17 ; James 5:17; Mal. 4:5; Ex. 9:33; Rev. 11:6

If you would like a link to read them:

What does it mean that heaven is shut, or opened?
Heaven is the source of God's gifts 
(James 1:17; John 4:10;
1Cor. 14:1,12,37; 12:4; 1:7; 2:10; Mal. 3:10). 
When heaven is opened, spiritual gifts of divine wisdom and understanding are offered to the humble and righteous (Heb. 6:4). This happened to the apostle John when he was graced with the scroll of Revelation (Rev. 4:1; 1:19). The two witnesses also have heaven opened to them (Rev. 11:12) as did Stephen (Acts 7:56).
Eze. 1:1; Matt. 3:16; Isa. 11:2
When the heavens are shut, access to divine spirit and truth is blocked.

We are told at Rev. 3:7-8...
"These are the words of him who is holy and true, who holds the key of David. What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open. 8 I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name."

Jesus has the power to open the minds of the faithful to heavenly truth (Luke 24:45; Col. 2:2-3). 
Jesus spoke of this ability to bestow wisdom, 
at Matthew chapter 13:
"11 He replied, “Because the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them. 12 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. 13 This is why I speak to them in parables:
“Though seeing, they do not see;
    though hearing, they do not hear or understand.
14 In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah:
“‘You will be ever hearing but never understanding;
    you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.
15 For this people’s heart has become calloused;
    they hardly hear with their ears,
    and they have closed their eyes.
Otherwise they might see with their eyes,
    hear with their ears,
    understand with their hearts
and turn (repent), and I would heal* them.’ 
(*again, Mal. 4:2; 
2Pet. 1:19; Rev. 22:16)
16 But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear. 
35 So was fulfilled what was spoken through the prophet:
“I will open my mouth in parables,
    I will utter things hidden since the creation of the world.”

The "hidden" sacred secrets are opened by Jesus, who holds the authority and power over those symbolic keys. He can open perception of divine secrets (John 1:51; 3:34-35; Col. 2:2-3). 

As we can see from scripture, the symbolic opening of heaven is associated with symbolic rain.
Deut. 28:12;  Ps. 78:23;  Mal. 3:10
At Isaiah 45:8, we learn more about the meaning of rain...
  “Rain down, you heavens, from above, And let the skies pour down righteousness; Let the earth open, let them bring forth salvation, And let righteousness spring up together. I, the Lord, have created it."

So, just as we see the sky, clouds, and rain are all associated with one another in a literal way;
being blessed and granted to have divine wisdom is associated with and even vital for, having righteousness and salvation. 
Our eternal life depends upon our salvation, through divine wisdom (John 17:3,17). That wisdom and spirit, are found in God's Word (Prov. 2:6; Ps. 119:105,130; James 1:5; Eph. 6:17; Heb. 4:12). Holy Spirit is the source of these things. Spirit is found... not in teaching sourced with men, but in the teachings of Jesus Christ (John 6:63).

If God's own wicked people repentantly return to Him, He can change the thirsty ground of the heart (Matt. 5:6; Isa. 55:1-3; Rev. 22:17).
Isa. 35:
"6 Then the lame shall leap like a deer,
And the tongue of the dumb sing.
For waters shall burst forth in the wilderness,
And streams in the desert.
7 The parched ground shall become a pool,
And the thirsty land springs of water;
In the habitation of jackals, where each lay,
There shall be grass with reeds and rushes.
8 A highway shall be there, and a road,
And it shall be called the Highway of Holiness.
The unclean shall not pass over it,
But it shall be for others.
Whoever walks the road, although a fool,
Shall not go astray.
9 No lion shall be there,
Nor shall any ravenous beast go up on it;
It shall not be found there.
But the redeemed shall walk there,
10 And the ransomed of the Lord shall return,
And come to Zion with singing,
With everlasting joy on their heads.
They shall obtain joy and gladness,
And sorrow and sighing shall flee away."

 

Rev. 11:6 is telling us, that within the scenario of Revelation,
it is not "Christendom" that gets exposed for a lack of holy spirit, righteousness, and teachings of salvation. It is God's own people, in the time of the end.

Orion and Pleiades

 
In the quoted scriptures below, I have made some additional thoughts in parenthesis, derived directly from the Hebrew interlinear.

Job 9:"8 He alone spreads out the heavens (Isa. 40:22; 42:5; 44:24; 66:1),
And treads on the waves of the sea; (Isa. 57:20; Job 38:8-9,10-11; Ps. 65:7; James 4:6; Matt. 14:22-23,24-25,26-27; Mark 4:35-39) (Ps. 2:1-3,4-5; Rev. 11:18; Jer. 25:31; Isa. 24:21-22)
9 He made the 
   Bear [lit. Osh (save)], 
   Orion [Kesel (A deep trust and confidence that inspires hope and resilience, 
                          even in the face of uncertainty)]
   and the Pleiades [Kimah (cluster of stars/known as the 7 sisters) (Rev. 17:5,9)
And the chambers <(secret source) of the south" (Job 37:9; Isa. 21:1,2-3)
Note: the "whirlwind" of the South is the driving spirit and connects to "chambers" (Job 9:9 above).

Job 38: "4 Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth?
Tell Me, if you have understanding.
5 Who determined its measurements?
Surely you know!
Or who stretched the measuring line upon it? (Zech. 2:1-2; 1:16; Isa. 28:17; Rev. 11:1; 21:15)
6 To what were its foundations fastened?
Or who laid its cornerstone, (Rev. 21:14; Eph. 2:20-22; Matt.7:24-25)
7 When the morning stars sang together, (Phil. 2:15; Dan. 12:3) 
    (Jude 1:13; Rev. 8:10-11; 12:4; Matt. 24:29; Isa. 13:10
And all the sons of God shouted for joy? (Gal. 3:26; John 1:12-13)

30 The waters harden like stone (and hide themselves),
And the surface (opening/door) of the abyss is frozen [Imprisoned/locked].
31 “Can you bind the (sweet influences/luxuries) of the Pleiades [seven stars/daughters]?,
Or (attractions of Orion, are you unloosing?) loose the belt of Orion? (Eph. 6:14; Isa. 11:1-3,4-5; Dan. 10:4-6,14)
32 Can you bring out Mazzaroth (12 constellations) in its season? (Acts 1:7) Or can you guide [female Bear with sons that need divine guidance]
the Great Bear with its cubs?
33 Do you know the ordinances (statutes) of the heavens?
Can you set their dominion over the earth?"

Amos 5: 
"1 Hear this word which I take up against you, a lamentation, O house of Israel:
 2 The virgin of Israel has fallen;
She will rise no more.
She lies forsaken (abandoned) on her land;
There is no one to raise her up.
 3 For thus says the Lord God:
“The city that goes out by a thousand
Shall have a hundred left,
And that which goes out by a hundred
Shall have ten left to the house of Israel.”
 4 For thus says the Lord to the house of Israel:
“Seek Me and live;
 5 But do not seek Bethel (house of God),
Nor enter Gilgal (removed),
Nor pass over to Beersheba (well of 7/well of the oath);
For Gilgal shall surely go into captivity (deported),
And Bethel shall come to nothing (come to lawlessness).
 6 Seek the Lord and live,
Lest He break out like fire in the house of Joseph,
And devour it,
With no one to quench it in Bethel—
 7 You who turn to wormwood,
And lay justice and righteousness to rest in the earth!”
 8 He made the Pleiades and Orion;
He turns the shadow of death into morning
And makes the day dark as night;
He calls for the waters of the sea
And pours them out on the face of the earth;
(Rev. 20:13; 2 Pet. 3:10)
The Lord is His name.
 9 He [flashes forth destruction] rains ruin upon the strong (gladness over devastation),
So that fury comes upon the fortress."


In the verses above we learn some things about the star groups, Orion and Pleiades.
It is also helpful to look at the context of their mention.
In the context of Job 9:8-9 we see God's Word makes a contrast between the heavens of His dwelling, and the Sea which symbolizes the realm of darkness and evil, and those who belong to that realm. Also mentioned is the chamber of the South. A chamber is usually a private, inner room (Matt. 24:26).

At Job 38:30-31, The luxuries of Pleiades seem associated with the realm of deception and being locked there. It speaks of Orion's supportive warrior's belt being set fast and firm, unmovable by man (Eph. 6:14; 1Cor. 15:58).
Job 38:32-33 make reference to the seasons and timing when various star clusters are seen in the sky. The Great Bear and her sons are mentioned as receiving guidance that cannot come from men. The very next verse mentions the ordinances of heaven, which are rules of guidance. God's statutes have dominion over the earth, from the heavens.

Amos 5:1-3 speaks of the desolation of the house of Israel, and the small number of the remnant.
Amos 5:4-7 shows us the reason for this sweeping desolation. The cities which the populace depend upon are in moral ruin. Only God can be a source of salvation. He warns against turning away from Him. It is made clear, that the house of God (Bethel) who rely on wormwood, cause justice and righteousness to perish.
Amos 5:8 makes contrasts. 
Orion and Pleiades are first compared... then the work of God to turn light into dark, and dark into light 
(Luke 8:18; Isa. 59:10-11; Matt. 6:22-23; James 1:5; Rev. 2:7; 22:17). 
Then God takes the waters of the dark sea, and pours them out on the face of the earth. All that it contains is then seen and judged. The weak and humble are raised up and the proud and prominent are brought low.

God's Sabbath rest for His People [] What is Paradise?

Isa.29: "10 The Lord has brought over you a deep sleep: (1Thess.5:6-7; John3:19-21)
    He has sealed your eyes (the prophets);
    he has covered your heads (the seers).
11 For you this whole vision is nothing but words sealed in a scroll. And if you give the scroll to someone who can read, and say, “Read this, please,” they will answer, “I can’t; it is sealed.” 12 Or if you give the scroll to someone who cannot read, and say, “Read this, please,” they will answer, “I don’t know how to read.”
13 The Lord says:
“These people come near to me with their mouth
    and honor me with their lips,
    but their hearts are far from me.
Their worship of me
    is based on merely human rules they have been taught."

Those who do not worship God in the way that He desires (John4:23-24) because their worship is based upon human doctrine, fail to be granted the spiritual perception needed to attain insight and understanding of divine knowledge.
The consequences of worshiping according to human doctrine and commands of men 
(Matt.15:8-9; Col.2:22; Rom.10:2-3)...
Isa.28: "10 For it is:
    Do this, do that,
    a rule for this, a rule for that;
    a little here, a little there.”
11 Very well then, with foreign lips and strange tongues
    God will speak to this people, 12 God said to them, “Here is a place of rest; let the tired people come and rest. This is the place of peace.” But the people would not listen." (Isa.28:10-12)


Those who worship outside the realm of divine truth will be unable to hear and grasp the true teachings, even when they hear them spoken. When their hearts are hardened and turned away, refusing to repent; God refuses to grant them rest and peace (Isa.59:8; Rom.3:11,17; Heb.3:10-11,18-19; Matt.7:21-23). 
Jesus is the source of true peace... the peace that results from attaining and taking in the water of life (John 14:27; 4:13-14; 6:63)

John 14: "27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."
Isa.41:9-10,11-12,13
Matt.11:  "28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls."
 "yet you refuse to come to me to have life" (John 5:40) 
Luke 19:41-42

Those who do not have a love of truth are deceived through false human doctrine (2Thess.2:10; Eze.13:9-10; 2Pet.2:19; 1Thess.5:3; Isa.26:16-18,19-21). Those lacking love of divine truth do not prioritize turning to God's Word and Christ, rather than to men. They are therefore refused by God and Christ to be granted spiritual sight and the ability to hear divine spirit (Rev.2:29). To those deprived of spiritual perception, Christ's parables and the deep symbolism of prophecy are unreadable (Isa.29:10-11; Matt.13:19). These are refused the peace and rest that results from spiritual insight.
Jesus spoke of this...
Matt.13: "10 The disciples came to him and asked, “Why do you speak to the people in parables?”
11 He replied, “Because the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them. 13 This is why I speak to them in parables:
“Though seeing, they do not see;
    though hearing, they do not hear or understand.
14 In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah:
“‘You will be ever hearing but never understanding;
    you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.
15 For this people’s heart has become calloused;
    they hardly hear with their ears,
    and they have closed their eyes.
Otherwise they might see with their eyes,
    hear with their ears,
    understand with their hearts
and turn, and I would heal them.’"
 (Rev.22:2) -- (Link: leaves.html 
Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath (Mark 2:27-28). 
He is the one authorized to grant or deny the peace and rest which results from possessing divine spirit and truth 
(Isa.22:22; Rev.3:7-8; Prov.3:1-2,3-4; Heb.4:1-2,9,6-7; Matt.13:15-16; Luke 1:79). 
He is also the one to grant or deny entrance into God's Sabbath rest, and access to God's Holy City. 
The source of divine spirit and truth is God's holy city... the garden of God... the paradise of God (meaning: garden of delights). 
Third Heaven, is Paradise (2Cor.12:2,4; Rev.2:7; 22:2,14) where fine trees that yield the fine teachings of truth (Matt.13:52; 6:21; 12:35; Luke 6:43-45; John 15:16,8). 
       ( LINK: the-third-third-heaven.html )
Not all are granted access 
(Rev.22:14-15; Matt.18:3; Rev.22:19; 21:2,9-10,23-25,26-27,6-7; 22:17; 14:13). 
This means that not all can derive spiritual sustenance from divine truth. This is symbolically depicted as not having access to the trees of life. Those outside the holy city have manifested their unrepentant preference for human doctrine (Rom.1:25; 1Cor.10:14).

God's Sabbath rest is a gift to the faithful (Isa.26:2-3; Mark 2:27-28; 2Sam.7:10; Eze.37:25; Heb.4:8-9; Rev.21:7)
There they find the provisions leading to lasting peace and rest.


Why did Jesus lack rest while he was on earth? (Matt.8:20)

At Gen.1:31 and Gen.2:1-2 we learn that when God saw that His creation was in good condition, he was then able to rest from His work. He Himself found rest and peace in the condition of His creation. Everything was set up so that it would perpetuate in a flawless way. This perfection was assured in the capable hands of Adam and Eve, as they remained guided by God through the teachings of the Tree of Life. God's forethought and planning was perfect, executed through the Logos. Creation's design had perfect maintenance built into it, and under this divine design there would be no unsolvable challenges.

To illustrate, a woman may work all day to prepare a dinner party. Before the guests arrive, she sets the food out in warmers, the table is set, the beverages are on the table, and everything that her guests could need or want is within their reach. She sees that everything is ready and of fine quality as the doorbell rings. She is then able to sit down to the table with her guests, and enjoy the result of all her preparations.
She can relax with her guests, unless a problem arises.
If a guest enters the house with a large dog, who jumps up on the serving table and knocks things on the floor; the host must end her rest. There is cleaning to do, but there is also the need to provide new food to replace the original meal. Naturally, that is going to take time, a new plan, and work.

We can apply this simple illustration to what occurred when God hosted all physical life on this planet. As we read in the book of Genesis, God prepared everything to meet His standards of quality. When He finished and saw that it was all good, He entered His Rest.
When creation's perfect arrangement was disrupted by sin and death, God also ended His rest. As Jesus told us in the first century:
"17 But Jesus answered them, “My Father has been working until now, and I have been working.... 19 Then Jesus answered and said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner. 20 For the Father loves the Son, and shows Him all things that He Himself does; and He will show Him greater works than these, that you may marvel. 21 For as the Father raises the dead and gives life to them, even so the Son gives life to whom He will. 22 For the Father judges no one, but has committed all judgment to the Son". (John 5)
There would have been no need for God to return to work if sin and death did not enter His creation. 
What work are we referring to?
God had to teach and cultivate a people as His own, so that through the faithful among them, He would revise the original arrangement, justify a new plan, and progress toward the establishing of a new creation. This would require a progression of covenants. He would uphold His commitments to the faithful among His people, and the faithful would uphold God's requirements. Such requirements were the judicial requirement needed to address the corruption of the original creation, and progress toward it's completed solution.
As long as God's creation is ruined by corruption, evil, and death; He can not look upon it, pronounce it "good", and take His rest. 
Jesus Christ is the most significant part of God's plan of restoration. He worked alongside his Father throughout history, even before his human life 
(1Cor.10:1-2,3-4; John8:56-58; 1:1-2,3,14; Isa.48:2; Deut.8:15; Neh.9:15). 
Those who are anointed, also work in God's purpose of restoration, alongside Jesus Christ 
(Matt.11:29; Col.3:24; Heb.8:1-2,6; 9:11-12; John2:19; Matt.16:18; Eph.2:10,20-22; 4:11-12,16; Rev.22:1-2,17)

The Logos was often "the angel of the Lord" referred to in scripture. 
To be an angel is to be a messenger. "Logos" means the Word of God, the one bearing and bringing God's Word (John12:49). The Logos would also have been the one to inspire God's prophets as well, in guiding them in their message and declarations.

So what we are seeing, is that God's own rest and peace is interrupted when evil taints His creation. He does not rest when evil requires Him to address it with His divine power, wisdom, and justice. God went about identifying and implementing a solution that would address when creation fell into the hands of the Destroyer (Gen.3:15; Isa.33:1).
God also is robbed of peace and rest when His own people fall into the hands of the Destroyer, by turning away from His progressive purpose and turning toward Idols.
Num.14:11; Judges 2:12; Neh.9:26,30; Ps.78:39-41

By depriving of God of His rest and peace, they would not share in it when it finally arrives (Heb.3:10-12; Num.14:22-23; Deut.1:34-35; 1Cor.10:1-3,4-6,7-9,10-12)
We also must not find an apathetic rest and peace in a place of corruption (Micah 2:10). When we act in harmony with the standards of God, it allows God some rest along with us (Num.25:10-13; Isa.32:17; Ps.119:165; Prov.27:11).

-  -  -  -  -  -  -

Here is the essence of how peace is achieved for God, so that He can enter His rest...
God says at Isa.62:1
  "For Zion’s sake I will not hold My peace,
And for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest,
Until her righteousness goes forth as brightness,
And her salvation as a lamp that burns."

God's rest is associated with the establishing of an eternal holy city in which He will dwell.

and Psalm 132:13-14
  "13 For the Lord has chosen Zion;
He has desired it for His dwelling place:
14 “This is My resting place forever;
Here I will dwell, for I have desired it."


When Jesus came to earth, Jerusalem was not filled with Righteousness. Jerusalem's salvation was not a bright burning lamp of divine wisdom. It was not a place for God or Jesus to find rest in it's righteousness.
Therefore Jesus said; “Foxes have dens, and birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to rest his head.” (Matt.8:20) (Luke 19:41; 13:34)

How was rest achieved for Jesus?
He knew that by his faithfulness, he would provide the price for the achievement of God's place of rest 
(John 2:19-21; Eph.5:30; Heb.10:5; Col.2:19; Eph.2:21; Heb.8:2; Eph.2:10; 2Cor.5:17; Eph.4:23-24; 2:10; Heb.8:2; Acts 7:48; Rev.21:2-3,9-10; 22:14-15; Zech.8:3). 
God's righteous and holy City would be established and attained (Eph.1:10; Hab.2:3).

Rest: through Zion
Zech.8:3; Matt.17:1-3,4-5; 2Pet.1:17-18; Rev.14:1

Rest: through Christ, and preparations for his arrival
Isa.40:3-4,5; John 1:14,19,23; Isa.57:14; 62:10; 11:12,10; John 3:14-15; 12:32; Isa.35:8; Ps.107:7; John 14:6; Mal.3:1

Rest: through the righteous seed of Abraham / those of Abraham's faith / the house of God
Rev.21:3; Gen.28:16-17,19; 1Tim.3:15; Rev.11:11-12; Gen.28:12-14; Eph.4:8; Gal.3:29

Rest: through freedom from enemies, achieved by our work in support of Christ.
2Sam.7:10-11; 1Pet.2:1-2,3-4,5; John 1:23,29,31; Eph.2:20-22; Isa.28:16-18; 1Cor.15:26

Through the righteous work of God, Christ, and those who comprise the City of God; 
  God, Christ, Jerusalem, and all the new creation will once again have peace and rest. 
God will once again pronounce all He has made, as good.

"Even If Someone Should Rise From the Dead"

 We will consider some thoughts from the parable of Jesus, found at Luke 16:19-31, based upon a conversation I had.
That parable can be read at this link:

The individual hearts of anointed are now being read and judged by God. 
What of those who have not been anointed by God?
Regarding them, Luke tells us that the eagles who find and feed on the slain, were "taken" there by spirit (Luke 17:30-32,33-34,35-36; Luke 17:37 KJV ; Job 39:27,29-30). So it really does depend on divine selection and judgment of each heart, as to whether our blindness, spiritual sleep and drunkenness, is cured. But we ourselves must also manifest our preference for divine truth if we wish for spirit to enlighten us.
(Rom.13:11-12; Eph.5:14; Rev.3:18; Matt.13:11,13,15-16; Rev.2:29).
Those healed are certainly among those who are graced and blessed.

Remember the parable of Jesus about Lazarus and the rich man? There the rich man who was suffering in Hades after a life of ease, luxury, and prominence...
(Matt.23:6-7; Luke 20:46; Rev.18:7-8; Matt.6:2; Luke 16:25), 
...asked for a witness to be given to the rich man's *5* brothers, so that they don't wind up in the same place [remember the *5* foolish virgins? (Matt.25:1-2,8-10,9; Eph.5:11;  2Cor.6:17;  1Cor.10:21)]. 
The rich man requests that someone risen from the dead should go to them, and they would surely repent (Luke 16:30). "Father Abraham" responds; " ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.’” (Luke 16:31; John 5:46-47).

This was true of the prominent leaders of God's people, after the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ (Matt.12:38-40; 28:6,11-15).
The sign of Jonah will once again be given in the time of the end, to the leaders of God's people.
At Rev.11:11, the 2 witnesses do rise from the dead. After the spirit of God enlivens their dead state, they preach (Eze.37:5,10; Matt.10:20)
Instead of being moved to repentance, those who "see" this event, are moved to "terror" (Rev.11:11). 
[The Greek word translated into "terror" means to feel intimidated or threatened.] 
We experience evidence of the Watchtower's intimidation, when we are condemned, expelled, our work online restrained, and our testimony actively responded to within the false doctrine they release. Their strategy is an attempt to neutralize the effect of scripture upon reasonable minds of faith.

Jesus said that no sign other than that of Jonah, would be given to the crooked and twisted generation (Matt.12:40). Even with that sign of Jonah, his having been in Sheol and then being released (Jonah 2:2,10)..., of not only being released from the sea monster, but the warning testimony which he gave that followed his release (Jonah 3:1-2)... (the parable of Luke 16:19-31 of someone rising from the dead)... it will not move the leaders of God's people,, nor the foolish, captive anointed, into repentance (Luke 16:30-31).
  
  [ For information about the sea monster that swallowed Jonah, and its prophetic meaning:

Please note at Luke 16:26, that there is a chasm between those shown mercy, and those not shown mercy... a chasm that cannot be crossed. That chasm represents what Christ "opens that cannot be shut, and shuts that which cannot be opened" (perception/gates of Hades/Sheol Job 17:16; Matt.16:18; 25:11-12; Luke 13:28; 8:18; Rev.1:18). 

Those like the beggar, who suffer evil and die for Christ...
(Luke 16:25 YLT ;  2Tim.4:5 YLT ; John 16:2;  2Cor.4:10;  1Pet.2:21; Mark 8:35)
...those who have humbled themselves are those to be exalted (Matt.23:12). These will gain their souls and the favor of father Abraham. 

Those who exalted themselves are depicted in the parable as the rich man. They reject the selfless path of Christ and therefore must be humbled. They will have to face their spiritual darkness, lack of spirit, wisdom, or understanding (Matt.25:8; 6:22-23; 8:12). They will have to face their lack of justice toward the faithful (Rev.13:15,7,10; 17:6; 18:4-6,7-8,24; 11:3,7-8; Matt.23:37,35; Mark 13:13; Heb.13:13; John 16:2). 
And worst of all, they will have to face their being rejected by their only hope and Savior, because they chose to serve and obey an Idol instead (Matt.7:23; 25:45; Rev.13:8).

Christ's death and resurrection did not move the Jewish leaders to repentance. Our resurrection, made obvious by our work, will not move the Governing Body, the "elders", any staunch JWs, or the anointed who buy their light from those who sell, ...to repent and abandon their Idol.

 Rev.11:5; Jer.23:29; Deut.18:18; Hosea 6:5; Matt.24:27
