The Marriage of the Lamb

Rev.19:7

Spelling it out.

Most Christians will accept the idea that AT THIS POINT IN TIME, the being known as Jesus Christ is IN Heaven and they are eagerly awaiting HIS return to earth. This is because they have all read the scripture which says:

John 14:2-3 In my Fathers house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you: I go to prepare a place for you; that where I am ye may be also.

It is also accepted that THE HEAVENLY FATHER is the being also known as the Ancient of Days is the one that has never been to earth and will only come to earth after the thousand years have expired.

It is also accepted that "something happens" at what we call the beam up or 1 Thes. 4:16,17

What we are going to prove beyond any shadow of doubt is that the Marriage of the Lamb takes place in HEAVEN and provide new material.

We are using the Authorised King James version of the Bible ISBN 0-529-10225-0. Appointed to be read in Churches.

We understand why some think the marriage takes place "on earth" but they have been led astray by false teachers. But let's take it stage by stage.

So, let's go through the first scripture again and see the locality.

John 14:2-3 In my Fathers house are many mansions:

Quite clearly Christ is talking about HEAVEN because he is talking about his Fathers house.

He then goes onto say that: I go to prepare a place for you. Now if he says "I go to prepare a place for you" it means he left earth and has gone to heaven and is preparing a PLACE and who is he preparing this place for?

For his disciples and believers to go into the mansions.

He is speaking to the disciples and then goes on to say, that where I am ye may be also. So that where he IS or has gone that WE may be.

John 14:2-3 In my Fathers house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you: I go to prepare a place for you; that where I am, ye may be also.

Further Matt. 22:2 The Kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain King; which made a marriage for his son. And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not.

This is the call to the marriage, by the Father; verse 2, (the son is Christ).

Now the Marriage.

The scripture the marriage is mentioned in is, Rev.19:7. Let us be glad and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife has made herself ready.

Also recognise that in Rev. 19:1 it says that, And after these things there is a great voice of much people in HEAVEN. Verse 4-- and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the THRONE.

Other scriptures show the same thing. Rev 7:4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.

Rev 7:9.After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb. That is ---- A VAST NUMBER.

And what were they doing Rev 7:10? And Cried with a loud voice saying. Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.

Also Rev 14: 3. And they sung as it were a new song before the throne --and no man could learn the song but the hundred and forty and four thousand which were redeemed from the earth. (If they are redeemed from the earth they must be someplace else.) Rev 14: 5 for they are without fault before the throne of God.

Rev 12:5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God and to his throne.

Rev 11:12 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying to them, Come up hither. They ascended up to heaven in a cloud and their enemies beheld them.

(These are the two witnesses going up to heaven after being resurrected)

It would appear that it is at this point in time, that Satan realises he has only a short time left and makes one dash to heaven with his Angeles (demons) to prevent the marriage taking place. And he simply gets thrashed in the mother of all wars in Heaven.

Rev 12:7 And there was war in heaven Michael and his angels fought again the dragon: and the dragon fought and his angels, verse 8 and prevailed not: neither was their place found any more in heaven. verse 9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the devil and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world; he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

It is from this that many more people are converted on earth and are beamed up. How do we know this?

Rev 19:1, And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven. Verse 6. And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, verse 7; Let us be glad and rejoice for the marriage of the lamb is come and his wife hath made herself ready, verse 9; And he saith unto me, write blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. Verse 14; and the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses. Verse 19; and against his army.

Rev 17:14 These (the ten kings on earth) shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them; for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called and chosen and faithful.

Now we understand why some pastors are deceiving people into thinking that the marriage is going to be on earth. It is simply the idea that they THINK they have read in Rev.14:1 --a Lamb stood on mount Sion. And of course there is a mount sion near Jerusalem in the middle east.

Well think again.

The Mount Sion referred to here is the one IN HEAVEN. Want the proof?

Mount Zion in Heaven. Heb.12:18-22 For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, not unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest, But ye are come unto mount sion and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels.

More proof? Rev.14:5. And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God. Who are "they" as in their mouth? Verse 4. These are THEY which follow the lamb whithersoever he goeth.

Sound familiar?

Paul was inspired to write: 1 Thes. 4:16 and the dead in Christ shall rise first.--last part, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

DEAD

Before the seventh trumpet blast (1 Thess.4:16; 1 Cor, 15:52; Rev.10:7) the dead in Christ were DEAD. NOT MARRIED. Get it? DEAD. This would be all those that believe Christ and what he said in the last 2000 years. They are not married to Christ YET, but are dead.

It is the LIVING in Christ, the rest of the elect, that would have gone through the horrors of the first 6 trumpets with the heavenly signs. It is only by having done their bible study and asked for the spirit of God that would get them through it and of course being sealed.

Once Christ has resurrected them from the dead (1 Thes. 4:16) and they are spirit born beings they THEN can float up to Christ in the clouds and with the angels be taken to HEAVEN for the first time.

So Christ starts from heaven with his angels makes his next appearance in the clouds picks up his potential bride and goes back to heaven, all very fast.

Psalm 19:5,6 shows this, although in this case it is physical orb the sun that is being referred to. Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoicing as a strong man to run a race. His going forth is from the end of heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and their is nothing hid from the heat thereof.

Matt. 25:1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. Verse 5 While the bridegroom tarried (in heaven) they all slumbered and slept. Verse 6 and at midnight (the dark period we are entering into) there was a cry made. Behold, the bridegroom cometh: go ye out to meet him. Verse 10. And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went IN WITH HIM TO THE MARRIAGE (back to heaven): and the door was shut.

After the marriage is complete Matt. 25:31 When the son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him (this time is his third and FINAL appearance) then SHALL HE SIT UPON THE THRONE OF HIS GLORY. (On earth)

And now THE THIEF.

In Rev. 16:15 Christ says Behold, I come as A THIEF. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.

Then in Rev.3:3 --I will come on thee as a thief.

Matt. 24:43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.

1 Thes.5:2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so commeth as a thief in the night. Verse 4. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.

2 Peter 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night: in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise. And the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

What does a thief do?

He leaves home goes to your house and grabs what he wants and then gets back home as quickly as he can.

This is what Christ is going to do.

In Rev. 16:15 Christ says Behold, I come as A THIEF. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.

Rev.3:3 --I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee. This is talking to the Church of God in Sardis

Matt. 24:43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.

Christ here is talking to the so called teachers.

1 Thes.5:2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so commeth as a thief in the night. Verse 4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.

Christ here is referring to the period of time at the end, starting with the "beam up" or resurrection of the saints in 1 Thes 4:16 and his actual return.

2 Peter 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night: in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise. And the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

So the day of the Lord starts with Christ coming in the clouds, picks up his bride, goes back to heaven and the marriage and finally coming to earth with the heavens melting away and taking control of mankind that are left by putting the rebellious ones down, in the battle of Armaggedon which has now come into focus.

Rev.14:4 These were redeemed from among men, being the first fruits unto God and to the Lamb .

Rev 7:9-11 After this I beheld, and lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nation, and kindreds,, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne and before the Lamb clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands: And cried with a loud voice saying. Salvation to out God which sitteth upon the throne and unto the Lamb And all the angels stood about the throne----.

Rev 12:5-9 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God and to his throne verse 6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days, verse 7. And there was war in heaven Michael and his angels fought again the dragon: and the dragon fought and his angels, verse 8 and prevailed not: neither was their place found any more in heaven. verse 9 And the great dragon was cast out , that old serpent, called the devil and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world; he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

Rev 12:12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabitors of the earth and of the sea! For the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

Now as far as we are concerned no where does it say that the marriage of the lamb is going to take place on earth. Quite the contrary the Father who has not been on earth and won't be for at least another 1000 years will obviously want to be at his own sons wedding as it will be the greatest event of all time to date.

The 144,000 are the first fruits (Rev.14:4) to Elohim and to the Lamb. In other words, the first individuals to mature spiritually and be harvested out of the earth. Since the resurrection occurs at the 6th seal, the 144,000 and the great multitude are from every generation of believers. Ps.91 during the time of incredible chaos on earth:

"He that dwells in the secret place of the most High, shall abide under the shadow of El Shaddai." [Shaddai is the only feminine-gendered name for Elohim in the Hebrew scriptures. It signifies "the One Who nourishes at the breast, the all-sufficient One."]

Thus, Yahweh will do for His Bride, the Elect, what He longed to do for Judah.

The Sea of Glass.

We have, in Rev.15; and Rev. 4, perhaps the most irrefutable evidence of saints being in heaven. Rev.15:2 And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass having the harps of GOD.

Rev. 4:5, 6 And out of the throne proceeded lightning and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven spirits of God. And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beast full of eyes before and behind.

Finally the tares and the good seed and the reapers.

The tares are the children of the wicked one. Matt 13:38. The good seed are the children of the Kingdom. Matt 13:38. The reapers are the angels. Matt 13:39.

Now Matt. 13:40. As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire: so shall it be in the end of this world.

Matt. 13:43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the KINGDOM OF THEIR FATHER.

Whose Kingdom is it?

The Kingdom of the Father. Who are in the Kingdom of their Father?

The righteous.

What are they doing?

Shining as the sun.

The saints stand in front of the Eternal in Heaven.

Now we can hear the screams of people shouting --but flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom or stand in the FACE OF GOD.

That's right---- you are sooooo correct. Flesh and blood can't. But (1 Thes 4:16) when the dead in Christ are resurrected, they are no longer flesh and blood they are spirit (born again) beings.

Now being spirit born they cannot die. And being spirit born they are able to look at God in the face and live.

Now there may be some very religious people who think that they are going to stay on earth during the greatest tribulations of all time; I can only say, I hope NOT to be with you.

Be warned because the time will come when Christ comes as far as the clouds with his angels and picks up his bride and you are not beamed up, because you will have been saying :

Alice In Wonderland & The

WTC Disaster

Ask Yourself: Who Benefits?

By David Icke

9-1 3-1

"Nothing would be what it is, Because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary-wise -what it is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?" -

Alice in Wonderland. The force that seeks to control this world and introduce its global fascist state, the network I call the Illuminati, is nothing if not predictable.

The unbelievable horror perpetrated on the cities of New York and Washington is a problem-reaction-solution sting on the collective mind of all humanity and I have been expecting an event of this magnitude for some years. I thought it could be a war or a nuclear "terrorist" device, but something fantastic was always going to happen during the years of the Bush presidency when, as I wrote on inauguration day, the agenda would be pressed forward with a gathering pace.

Fast as the world was being moved towards global centralized fascism, it was still not fast enough to match the timescale demanded by the Illuminati agenda. And the opposition to their globalization plans and their assaults on freedom, was gathering by the day. It was clear that something of enormous magnitude was being orchestrated that would so devastate the collective human mind with fear, horror, and insecurity, that"solutions" could be offered that would advance the agenda in a colossal leap almost overnight.

This is what we saw in America on the rituallysignificant eleventh day of the ninth month - 911 is the number for emergencies in the United States. Ritual and esoteric codes are at the heart of everything the Illuminati undertakes.

And, mind-numbing as these atrocities are, this is the start, not the end, of the next cycle of the Illuminati agenda for the mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical imprisonment of humankind. More and more death and destruction will unfold as the "Free World" unites as an (in affect) world army and world government to use the threat of "terrorism" (their own) to justify a war against the people and countries they choose to take the rap for what the very forces WITHIN the "free world" are themselves responsible for.

Even war with the Islamic peoples is not the end, but the means to an end - a conflict with the remaining forces of communism, which they also control. Remember that the Illuminati operate through every country and within "terrorist" organisations and those agencies which "oppose" such terrorism. Only by having agents within all "sides" can they be sure of controlling the game and knowing the outcome before it starts. The Illuminati have operatives within the Islamic world, just as they have them in the so-called "free world", as we shall see in the months to come. Saddam Hussein is every bit as much a knowing Illuminati pawn as Father George and Boy George Bush in America, for example (see And The Truth Shall Set You Free).

The predictability of the ritualistic, emotionless, reptilian mind can be seen in the news management that has followed this U.S. disaster. Look at what always happens in these circumstances and you will see that the blueprint is the same in almost every case. Before the event happens the fall-guy or "patsy" is already set up to take the blame, thus steering the public mind away from dangerous speculation and onto a pre-ordained target. After the Kennedy assassination it was Lee Harvey Oswald; after Oklahoma it was Timothy McVeigh; now it is Osama Bin Laden.

Bin Laden, deeply misguided as he may be, is no more responsible for what happened this week than I am. His name was introduced with the most obvious co-ordination immediately after the disaster unfolded in the same way that the background to Lee Harvey Oswald was being circulated BEFORE President Kennedy was even dead.

The idea that this guy from the mountains of Afghanistan with far more mouth than substance could be the "Mr. Big" of this enormous operation is utterly insulting to anyone of even basic intelligence (see the article by journalist Robert Fisk, who has met him).

We are not talking a parcel bomb here, nor even some mind-controlled fanatic driving a car bomb into a restaurant in Jerusalem. Four commercial airliners had to be simultaneously hijacked in American air space via American airports and flown into highly specific targets within 45 minutes of each other.

How was this possible? Because it was an inside job, that's how, orchestrated by forces WITHIN the United States and planned by the highest levels of U.S. "Intelligence" in co-ordination with other strands of the Illuminati spider's web worldwide. With an army now of mind-controlled assets at their disposal, it is possible to get them to do anything they require once the mind is programmed and the trigger given to activate them.

Those responsible for hijacking those planes and flying them into buildings will, in their conscious mind, have believed in the "cause" they were programmed to believe in. But in truth they were not hijacking and flying those planes, their programming was. Mind control is now so sophisticated that such programming is almost child's play. This terror was not a failure of U.S. Intelligence for God's sake. They were not supposed to uncover the plot and getting weapons onto planes is so much easier if you have support from those who control the system.

I have heard that this is another "Pearl Harbor" and yes it is. You can read in ..And The Truth Shall Set You Free and other books and studies how the American government knew the Japanese were going to attack Pearl Harbor, but they did nothing about it. Why? Because they wanted it to happen for a specific reason - to justify the U.S. entry into the Second World War, which President Roosevelt (a blood relative of the Bushes) had said, just to get elected, that America would not be involved in. Problem-reaction-solution - and it's the same with the terrible events of this week. (Press here for an explanation of Problem Reaction-Solution (PRS) if you are new to this technique). In the immediate aftermath of the attacks, the "pin it on bin Laden" campaign was launched as per pre-arranged plan.

The Republican Senator and Illuminati stooge, Orrin Hatch, for example, told CNN that he had high-level information from the FBI that bin Laden was behind the unprecedented attacks. "I do have some information," Hatch said in reference to his FBI briefing."They've come to the conclusion that this looks like it may be the

signature of Osama bin Laden, that he may be the one behind this." It's OK, don't go on, Orrin, we get the message and you have done your job.

Then we had the story of the hire car found so conveniently at Boston airport, where two planes were hijacked, which contained, yes wait for it, a copy of the Koran and an instruction video for how to fly commercial jets!!! Am I in fairyland or what? I

am surprised they did not claim to have discovered a letter from bin Laden in the car wishing the occupants the best of luck with their task. Maybe they plan to "find" that tomorrow, eh? It's unbelievable nonsense, of course it is, but most will believe it. And

you will see more and more manufactured "evidence" of the "bin Laden connection" systematically revealed in the days and weeks ahead.

So, the question: Who benefits? Well, the Illuminati want a world government and army, a world currency and centralized global financial dictatorship and control. They want micro-chipped people and a society based on constant surveillance of all kinds at all times. And they want a frightened, docile, subservient, people who give their power away to the "authorities" who can save them from what they have been manipulated to fear.

Funnily enough the question "who benefits from these horrific events in America?" can be answered very simply: Anyone who wants to introduce the above. The disaster of 9-11, means that: The Illuminati now have the excuse to retaliate against anyone their propaganda machine can manipulate the population to believe was to blame. Attacks against Islamic targets have the potential to be the trigger for massive conflict and upheaval across the world and especially in the Middle and Near East.

The opportunities to then widen the conflict to involve Russia and China are endless. A third world war is part of the agenda and this can open the way for that as the dominoes fall.

The "free world united with America" rhetoric from Blair and other"world leaders" is code for coming together as a world army and police force to fight a "war against terrorism". Already the Bilderberg-controlled NATO (the world army in waiting) has

pledged such support and the collective consciousness is being manipulated so comprehensively at this time that most people will support American and NATO terrorist attacks on unsubstantiated targets in the name of fighting terrorism.

The stunning contradiction in this policy will be lost on the majority blinded by the blatant and intense mind manipulation that has followed the outrages in those U.S. cities.

As conflict escalates as a result of such calculated "retaliation" the pressure for centralization of military power and the willingness to concede that power by the populations of America and elsewhere will gather until the world army is in place, a world army with the power to attack and take over any country that their propaganda machine can demonize.

The collective mind of humanity, and particularly that of America, is understandably now in a deeply traumatised state. They have been subjected to coliective trauma-based mind control and, as any mind controller or researcher can tell you, a traumatised mind is a suggestible mind. So in the wake of the trauma comes the programming to manipulate the population to see events in the desired fashion.

One of the biggest potential obstacles to the "New World Order", the centrally-controlled fascist global state, is the psyche of most American people. When faced with the prospect of giving up their right of self-determination to global military, political, and financial control, most would be vehemently opposed once they realised what was happening.

Their collective sense of security, confidence, and pride in their nation and system has been built on the foundations of immense military and financial strength. It is a collective version of the John Wayne mentality - "don't mess with us - this is America." From that has come their collective confidence in themselves as a nation. Now that very sense of who they are, and their belief that they have the power to stand alone, is in danger of being devastated.

It is absolutely no co-incidence that the targets of those hijacked planes were the very symbols of America's sense of itself and its own security - the Pentagon, symbol of their military might, and the World Trade Centre, twin pillars of their financial might. This is not primarily an attack on America, it is an attack on America's image and imagination of itself. Break their spirit and their sense of being "American"; break America's confidence in itself; put it in fear and fundamental insecurity; and you have overcome the most significant opposition to America allowing itself to be absorbed into the Illuminati's global and centrally-dictated society.

The American psyche will now be bombarded with more and more shocks to its security and sense of self, as with Oklahoma and the school shootings in the past. But from now on everything will be increased dramatically. It is vital that Americans refuse to submit to this and realise that those who are condemning the terrorism in their midst are those who are responsible for it. When I first travelled America in 1996, To be continued.
