“And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.” - Revelation 6:9-11

From the book, “HIS Secret”,  Sue Patterson interprets the  fifth and sixth seals of Revelation and the martyrs of Jesus.  This study is  from the view of the long time prophecy studies, “The 144,000 and the Multitude.”

The fifth seal opens with a vision from heaven The martyrs in this passage that the souls under the altar are told to wait for would be the Multitude. When does the killing of the Multitude begin? It begins at the hands of the Serpents of the 6th trumpet at a designated time….a time called “a little season.” We open up the vision and examine the timing and landmarks of this period, along with some commentary and prophetic overviews. This is a short show…fitting to discuss “a little season.”

From the book, “HIS Secret”, Sue Patterson interprets the four seals of Revelation which are the Four Horsemen of the Apocalype. This study is  from the view of the long time prophecy studies, “The 144,000 and the Multitude”. Pay careful attention: this is different from what you have been told.

Part two of the study from the forthcoming book, “HIS Secret” by Sue Patterson, details the New Song of the 144,000…a new language and understanding, according to Sue; what it means to be “perfect”, and the dark glass becoming clear to the elect faithful.

Jesus’ analogy of the new wine and old wineskin informs this new thing as we explore the metaphors of scriptures in the Old and New Testaments through the lens of the spiritual overlay.

“To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.  The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.” – Proverbs 1:6,7

The unfolding of revelation…what is God doing? What is He saying? The movement of the Spirit, as the world moves away from the “old things” into the new things; things decreed from this time, even the hidden things .

This study, from the book, “HIS Secret” by Sue Patterson, details surprising aspects of the revealed Word of the Lord…a new way of understanding in the “plural learning” of the metaphoric language.

We are scribes, we are messengers:

Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe whichis instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which   bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old. - Matthew 13:52

In the Greek, a scribe is a person who records things in a written record. The definition for scribe is; a writer, i.e. (professionally) scribe or secretary.

The underlying root word definition for scribe is; a writing, i.e. a letter, note, epistle, book, etc.; plural learning:–bill, learning, letter, scripture, writing, written. The root definition means; to “grave”, especially to write; figuratively, to describe. The plural learning is the metaphoric language that we have learned and are continuing to learn in the Third Day studies.

God does not change His character, He is unmovable in His will, but He does perform “new things”:

“And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding…”- Daniel 2:21

When one is wise, as the five wise virgins of Matthew 25, we begin to UNDERSTAND…to KNOW in new ways…through the veil of the parables and metaphors, as the Christ told us:

“Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables…” - Mark 4:11

Those who are “without” (Greek, exo-outside the doors) are the foolish, the stiff-necked, and blind…without the oil (anointing) to discern the movement of the Spirit in the final times. The new thing is decreed to those will do see, do hear, and follow the call of Wisdom. When one is wise, as the five wise virgins of Matthew 25, we begin to UNDERSTAND…to KNOW in new ways…through the veil of the parables and metaphors, as the Christ told us:

“Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables…” - Mark 4:11

“And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.” -Mark 7:9

Enter the matrix once more…destination: Babylon. Babylon is a spiritual abode, not the ancient city of the Chaldees but of the present day world system of mystery religion and commerce. It is, again, the celebrations of the “strange gods”…the season of high frivolity, the season of spending, and of transformed graven images. In the matrix we meet those who profess a living faith in the Christ, but embrace the dead images of ancient cults. In the matrix of Babylon the separation is occurring as those who cannot hear are visited with a warning, yet one more time. Welcome to Matrix Bablyon, Xmas 2010 A.D. The more things change, the more they stay the same…will you hear?

The Third Day’s metaphorical code opens up the cryptic vision of Ezekiel’s wheels. The four faces of the creatures, the lightning and firey countenance, the open view of the heavens, are all symbols which stream from the exiles in Chaldea to the Cross.

Imagery, language, and the consistent interpretations of key players in the spiritual drama are all amazingly present in the visions of Ezekiel. The spiritual overlay arcs through a vast expanse of history to complete the circle of prophecy in the last times.

Notes-Seals,Vials, & Trumpets-Part 1
The conclusion of the “distillation” of the judgments of the Book of Revelation, tied into the saga of the multitude, serpents, and scorpions which have been long detailed in the Third day studies. Again, the outcome is to break more of the traditional thinking off, and become acquainted with HOW the prophetic views are being presented.

Traditional prophecy writers and teachers have plotted out time lines, broken out elaborate sequences for each element in John’s vision, and presented what is, truly,a breathless cinematic portrayal of God’s final deliverance…as a flat lifeless “Power Point” slide show. Revelation is about VISION:

apocalypse a pok a lyp sis [Greek=uncovering], genre represented in early Jewish and in Christian literature in which the secrets of the heavenly world or of the world to come are revealed by angelic mediation within a narrative framework.

When one grasps the expanse of this work in the spiritual, symbolic, and cinematic scope…it opens up entirely new and powerful concepts in prophetic interpretation.

And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.
-Revelation 6:1

This, ninth, synopsis series combines over 20 hours of the trumpet judgments studies presented in the original Third Day studies. Compressed into this study are the seals and vials of Revelation, because they intertwine each other and are, each, a view of the  scriptural vision given to John on the island of Patmos.

Notes-Seals,Vials, & Trumpets-Part 1

“Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.“- Hebrews 12:16

The Esau Effect is another of the prophetic “ripples” that appear in the metaphorical prophetic studies of the Third Day. It is a spiritual dynamic which occurs repeatedly, and it is given to us as an example:

Mount Seir was the mountain that Esau occupied; its inhabitants were the Edomites, and it was completely destroyed by the children of Ammon and Moab.   We can find confirmation of this in Malachi 1:3

“And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness. “

This verse speaks about both the past and the future in the same passage. The dragons of the wilderness are the Serpents (the second third of the apostate). The dragons of the wilderness inherit the mountains and heritage of Esau. The giving away of the spiritual birthright of the modern daybeliever is being handed to the physical state of Israel by the Christians. But—they are not Christians, they are spiritual Edomites destined for the pit. The Abomination of Desolation is well on its way.

They traded Messiah for Barabbas—their birthright for a bowl of cold soup. This is the “Esau Effect” which moved the ministry of the Gospel from a racial/religious construct called Israel into a broader movement that would include all “peoples, nations, tongues, and tribes.”

Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. – Revelation 13:18

We conclude the study of the language of metaphor with some insights into the operation of interpreting scripture from a fresh perspective…not the stale cartoon prophetic images of doom and destruction, but a concise and highly focused view of the meanings of the cryptograms and images which veil one of the most debated verses in prophecy:

Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.- Revelation 13:18

The number of the beast is broken down into two numbers:

660 which refers to the Serpents and 6 which refers to the Scorpions. This number for each one is the number of a man, that man would be James Strong. It is the numbers which he assigned to each one of those definitions. He gave the number 660 to the definition for the Serpents; and he gave the number 6 to the Scorpions.

We already know that the beast is made up of the Serpents and the Scorpions. This verse tells us that the beast has the numbers 660 and 6 assigned to it, the definitions being Serpents and Scorpions. You can’t get any more literal than that. Numbers are to be taken literally.

And while the apostate church looks for the chip with 666 in it and looking for an antichrist whose name adds up to 666 in the Greek or the Hebrew, or any other methodology they can conjure up, it is right before their eyes but they cannot see it. Why, because they are blind and deaf. But we, who are wise and understand these things look to the Metaphorical language to interpret the Word of God as He meant it to be interpreted by His people for we are the children of God.

“It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.”
- Proverbs 25:2

Continuing with the “rules” of metaphor—properly, the rules of metaphoric interpretation—we demonstrate consistency and continuity in the scriptures by applying the rules in applications and examples .

“A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding
shall attain unto wise counsels: To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.” – Proverbs 1:5-6

The metaphors found in scripture are a bridge between time and spirit. There is a consistent body of images and identifications in the prophetic writings…and once we learn the “language” the dark understandings, hidden by the Creator, come to life.

This show reviews the fundamentals of the prophetic view brought out in early Third Day studies, and begins breaking out the rules for applying identifications found in the prophetic writings. Key concepts for the student of prophecy.

“In trying to understand a thing we are trying to find a metaphor for that thing . . . Understanding a thing is to arrive at a metaphor for a thing by substituting something more familiar to us. And the feeling of familiarity is the feeling of understanding . . . Understanding a thing is arriving at a familiarizing metaphor for it . . .”-Julian Jaynes, “The Origin of Consciousness and the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind”

” But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.”-1Corinthians 2:14

There are levels to understanding any concept, and faith is no exception. As we move and grow in understanding the mysteries of faith and prophecy the Lord invites us into an increasingly mature understanding of the written Word.

There are principles of interpreting Biblical prophecy that take us from the “milk” to the “meat” of the obscure passages found in the prophetic writ which, if followed carefully, open up new understandings and new levels of faith.

YAHWEH moved, in times past, in the physical outworking of signs and wonders seen in the Old Testament which culminated in the revelation of His Messiah. The New Testament transitioned those same patterns into movement in the Spirit. This study gives us valuable insights into the patterns of prophecy which are now discerned spiritually, by understanding the patterns given in the Old Testament.

This study is based on the research originally presented over several years in the “Third Day” studies on the Threshing Floor. We now condense those studies into nugget-sized concepts that can be more easily examined.

Study Notes: Synopsis #4-From The Physical To The Spiritual”

A crucial doctrinal examination of the two constructs known as the “Church” and “Israel”.
Understanding and interpreting prophecy pivots on the identity of two, seemingly separate groups: the “Church” and “Israel”. Are there really two covenants and two bodies of God’s”elect” in the New Testament? Is the Abrahamic Covenant still in force and binding upon physical Israel? What does the Bible really teach about the doctrines known as “Replacement Theology”, “Dual Covenant”, “Two House”, and Dispendationalism? What IS “Judeo-Christianity?
