Heaven departed as a scroll

Re 6:14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.

In the previous study on this blog www.dsouzashodan72.blogspot.in named 'Mystery of the kingdom of Heaven' we saw the significance of 'Fig tree in leaf' which is Mystery Babylon. We also saw various parables which teach that Satan's tares kingdom was within Alahim's kingdom and the separation of the wheat and the tares happens at the end with the wheat being gathered into the barn and the tares being burnt up in the fierce judgment of Alahim's wrath by fire. Heaven departing as a scroll rolled together is a symbolism used to show that the kingdom of heaven is now leavened completely with sin which the woman who took leaven and hid in three measures of meal till the whole lump was leavened.
We saw the imagery of the sycamine tree being uprooted and planted in the sea, millstone cast into the sea & mountain & star burning with fire cast into the sea all terms used for Mystery Babylon from whom the elect are separated. We are very near to the coming of Messiah when he will take us to be with him forever and ever. Amen. While the Yahuah tarries we saw the Woman (elect) given two wings of a great eagle and was carried away from the face of the serpent into the wilderness, the place prepared for her by Alahim where she is nourished for time, times and dividing of time.
In this study we will see why elect cannot be deceived by Satan and what is the difference between those under Satan's deception and the elect.

The plagues in the book of Revelation are spiritual in nature and these plagues cannot affect the elect because they are sealed of Alahim.

Re 7:1 ¶ And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.
 2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living Alahim: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
 3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our Alahim in their foreheads.

When we see the literal plagues poured out on Egypt there was a difference between the people of Alahim and the people of Egypt

Ex 10:22 And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days:
 23 They saw not one another, neither rose any from his place for three days: but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.

There was thick darkness in the land of Egypt while ALL the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.
The seals unfolding the plagues in book of Revelation & trumpet judgments are similar and it can only happen when Alahims people are sealed.

Re 16:10 And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain,

The same applies now. The elect have light in their dwellings whereas those in Satan's Mystery Babylon are full of darkness.

Revelation 15:8 And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of Alahim, and from his power; and no man (oudeis: NOT EVEN ONE) was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled.

When the vials were poured out NOT EVEN ONE was able to enter into the temple of Alahim and the temple of Alahim is Israel of Alahim. This shows that salvation has shut up and the door closed. The elect are sealed and are in Messiah.The seal of Alahim on elect prevents elect from being harmed of the plagues.

The first temple (a literal building) stood as a shadow of the heavenly pattern (Israel of Alahim)  and we can see this from what happened when Solomon built the temple

2 Chronicles 7:1-3 Now when Solomon had made an end of praying, the fire came down from heaven, and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of the Yahuah filled the house. [2] And the priests could not enter into the house of the Yahuah , because the glory of the Yahuah had filled the Yahuah's house. [3] And when all the children of Israel saw how the fire came down, and the glory of the Yahuah upon the house, they bowed themselves with their faces to the ground upon the pavement, and worshipped, and praised the Yahuah , saying , For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever.

While the elect are sealed they are now with the earnest of their inheritance in Messiah who will shortly complete their salvation. Our salvation is not complete yet. We are clothed in white and told to rest till the rest of the brethren like us are killed. As the Great Tribulation (GT)  intensifies the elect who are already sealed come to their senses of knowing who their true and living Alahim is while the sealing itself happened at the start of the GT. The temple in heaven being shut is an imagery of no more salvation for the lost.

Re 6:9 ¶ And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of Alahim, and for the testimony which they held:
 10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Yahuah, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
 11 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.

Rev 15:8 seems to say that at the end of the seven plagues there will be entry into the temple but a spiritual comparison of Alahim's word reveals how the temple will look like when it reappears. The book of Revelation is full of imagery and we must compare spiritual with spiritual to see the whole picture.

Revelation 21:22 And I saw no temple therein: for the Yahuah Alahim Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.

The earthly pattern (tabniyth) stood as a type of the heavenly pattern (tokniyth) and both will be dissolved (purged & loosed) with the earth and the heavens being on fire.

2Pe 3:10 But the day of the Yahuah 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.

 2 Peter 3:12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of Alahim, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

This earth and the heavens being melted with fire includes the earthy (literal) and the heavenly pattern (Israel of Alahim) because the kingdom of heaven has been taken violently by force by Satan and his army.

 Ge 2:4 ¶ These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that Yahuahh Alahim made the earth and the heavens,

The heavens and the earth were created in the day when Alahim made the earth and the heavens.

Hebrews 9:23 It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

The fire is to 'PURGE' (Greek word: katharizo which means to literally or figuratively make clean). Heb 9:23 says that the shedding of blood according to the law stood to purge figuratively the pattern of things in the heavens BUT THE HEAVENLY THINGS THEMSELVES WITH BETTER SACRIFICES THAN THESE.

While the blood of bulls and goats purged the earthly tabernacle Messiah's blood purges the heavenly pattern which has now been 'stopped by Satan' by making war with the saints and overpowering them and that's why there is no more salvation. We will see from Ezekiel 28 on this shortly in this study.

2 Corinthians 12:2 I knew a man in Messiah above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: Alahim knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third.

Paul spoke of being caught up to the THIRD

First heaven referring to a visible arets (earth), second heaven is the shamayim(heaven) which is rolled up as a scroll  and third which is beyond the heavens. That's where Paul got the revelation of Messiah he received.


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. 

The number 1,44,000 spiritually means 12 (tribes) * 12 (apostles) * 1000 (completeness)

The 12 tribes represent the OT saints, the 12 apostles the NT saints * 1000 their complete number

Eph 1:10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Messiah, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:

We see all the three in the passage above, the earth, the heaven and HIM (eternal). Alahim will gather in ONE all things in Messiah both which are in heaven and which are on earth  IN HIM.

The Revelation of Alahim who was, and is and is to come:

 While we can see from scripture Alahim who was and is whereas the Alahim who is yet to come only a gist is given of this but being face to face will reveal himself completely. Now we know in part but then completely.

Re 11:15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Yahuah, and of his Messiah; and he shall reign for ever and ever.

Re 10:7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of Alahim should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.

Paul's catching up to the third and hearing the revelation is synonymous with John saying he was in the Spirit on the Yahuahs day.

Revelation 1:10-11 I was in the Spirit on the Yahuah's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, [11] Saying, I am Alaph and the Thu, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.

In the same chapter John mentions he turned around to see who is it that spoke with him and he saw the Son of man

Re 1:12 And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;
 13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.

Peter says the elect are looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of Alahim.

2 Peter 3:12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of Alahim, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

By shutting the temple ( the heavenly pattern) Alahim is purging the heavenly pattern with the fire of Great Tribulation which Messiah himself went through and we in him by bearing his reproach.

Zec 13:9 And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The YAHUAH is my Alahim.

Now let's take a look at how the heavenly pattern was stopped:

Revelation 2:24 But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden.

In the letter to the churches Messiah mentions that there are some who have not known the DEPTHS OF SATAN.
In the previous verses he defines what the depths of Satan is.

Re 2:20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
 21 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.
 22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.
 23 And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.

Jezebel is like the woman who took leaven and hid in three measures of meal till the whole lump was leavened.

Lu 13:20 And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of Alahim?
 21 It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.

Those being seduced by Mystery Babylon are the ones knowing the depths of Satan whereas the elect know the depths of Messiah.

Ephesians 3:18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
Eph 3:19 And to know the love of Messiah, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of Alahim.

 The Greek word for depth is the same in Eph 3:18 & Rev 2:24

1 Corinthians 6:16-20 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh. [17] But he that is joined unto the Yahuah is one spirit. [18] Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. [19] What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of Alahim, and ye are not your own? [20] For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify Alahim in your body, and in your spirit, which are Alahim's.

The sin of fornication with false doctrines is being joined to a harlot and being one flesh with Jezebel.This is the depth of knowing Satan. He who is joined to the Yahuah is one spirit with him knowing the depth of the Yahuah.

Romans 7:3-4 So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man. [4] Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Messiah; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto Alahim.

All those in the kingdom of heaven are leavened with the leaven the woman who hid in three measures of meal. The elect come out from her as they are joined to the Yahuah. Heaven departing as a scroll is an imagery of this. The body now is a harlot joined to the depths of Satan.

1Corin 7:5 Defraud ye not one the other,  except it be with Consent for a TIME.,that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer  and come together again,  that Satan tempt you not for your inconsistency.
Bible is a spiritual book.Formerly we took things so literally like as if Alahim is speaking about earthly relationship but the heavenly pattern is hidden in earthy.

Will Messiah's high priesthood will have an end with the dissolving of the heavenly pattern? 

First of all the Greek word for dissolved in 2 Peter 3:12 is 'luo' which means 'loosen' and needs to be understood both literally and figuratively because the PATTERN is stopped but will not be destroyed it will loosened out of Satan's hands who causes a stop to it. Alahim allows this to happen so that he can judge Mystery Babylon but the present earth and the heavens will indeed be destroyed by fire.

The present earth and the heavens stand as a type of the new heavens and the new earth.


Rev 20:11  And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. 

Rev 11:18  And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth. 

Rev 21:1  And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. 

1Co 15:24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to Alahim, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.

1Co 15:28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that Alahim may be all in all.

1 Corin 15:24, 28 teaches that the Son will put down ALL RULE AND ALL AUTHORITY AND POWER and subject himself to Alahim that Alahim may be all in all. This doesn't mean that the high priesthood will be forgotten. But what it means in spiritual comparison with 2 Peter 3:12 is that Messiah will 'loosen' the heavenly pattern from Satan's deception to reveal who HE IS and the wicked along with Satan will be destroyed forever burnt with this present earth and heavens.

John 14:11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.

Messiah came out of Alahim (John 16:27 & 17:8) and he became the interface between Alahim and man. He went back to Alahim and is still the impress of Alahim though now he is one in the self same glory of Alahim in new creation and is ruling as the glorified man until he puts down all rule and authority and power. He will deliver up the KINGDOM to Alahim the Father.

When viewing and approaching him now we approach him as a merciful high priest beyond whom Alahim is unknown. He is the WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE (John 14:6). The sight will change when we get into New Jerusalem. We will see the Lamb in Alahim.

Revelation 21:22-23 And I saw no temple therein: for the Yahuah Alahim Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. [23] And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of Alahim did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.

ONE TEMPLE SEEN.That's the mystery of Alahim being finished at the last trumpet.

Re 22:3 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of Alahim and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:
 4 And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.

One face, one name so it goes to say it's ONE THRONE.


Now let's take a look at this imagery:

Revelation 4:3 And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.

Jasper in Hebrew is 'yashpheh' and means glittering. Its clear as crystal glittering. Sardius in Hebrew is Odem which means redness. Alahim carefully uses these 2 gems to define his appearance. Jasper was one of the precious stones in the 4th row of Aaron's high priest garment and reveals the brilliance or glittering of glory of Alahim. Sardius was a precious stone used in the 1st row of Aaron's high priest garment and reveals the blood of the Lamb shed for us.Thus we see the Lamb in the Fathers brilliance.The heavenly Jerusalem has all twelve stones as in Aaron's high priest garment and reveals all elect in him and in the brilliance of his glory.

Re 21:19 And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald;
 20 The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.

Aaron the high priest on his garment had all these twelve precious stone and each precious stone stood for the tribe of Israel. We are here talking about the true Israel of Alahim (dwelling in second heavens: the heavenly pattern) in Messiah ( dwelling in the third heaven : who has ascended far above all heavens Eph 1:10) and not National Israel  & church here which stood as a physical kingdom (dwelling in the first heavens). Messiah purges & loosens the Israel of Alahim (who came out of National Israel and the church) to take them to be with where he dwells forever.

John 17:21-22 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. [22] And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:

Unitarianism and Trinitarianism don't understand this revelation of Messiah and hence can't draw a line. The high priest will be forever in Alahim

 Hebrews 7:3 Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of Alahim; abideth a priest continually.

 The remembrance of the Lamb is forever in Alahim when we will see him face to face.Satan is master deceiver and comes as angel of light. You will notice this in Ezekiel 28:13.

Ezekiel 28:13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of Alahim; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.

 The beauty defined of him is 'paradox', we have already seen this in our previous studies. He was a murderer from the beginning and had no truth in him.


Joh 8:44  Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. 

But the imagery of 9 stones on Aaron's garments are mentioned to show us spiritual truth of his nature. The three precious stones ligure, agate and amethyst are missing. He causes people to believe in a gospel falling short of the glory of Alahim. A false christ, another gospel. Through this Alahim shows us a picture of Satan disguised as high priest to deceive causing a stop to the pattern.These three precious stones missing were on the third row of Aaron's priestly garment which shows Satan's gospel is 'sealest up the sum' which means stopping the pattern. ( chattam means stop) and ( tokniyth means pattern).

The elect's eyes are opened to see this deception and come out and a new name written on them which is the name of Messiah.

 Re 3:12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my Alahim, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my Alahim, and the name of the city of my Alahim, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my Alahim: and I will write upon him my new name.
