Rev 10:1 And I saw another strong/abayar H46 messenger coming down from the heaven, robed in a cloud/H6051, and a rainbow/ qashath H7198 on his head, and his face was like the sun, and his feet like columns of fire,
The scroll of Revelation is full of imageries and need to be seen in the light of spiritual comparison with the rest of the scriptures to understand the imagery. There is Yahuah’s breath in his dabar and only his elect will understand the deep hidden mysteries of the kingdom by his Ruach which dwells in us.
Rev chapter 10 shows a beautiful description of who the strong messenger is who came down from heaven robed in a cloud with a rainbow on his head and his face like the sun.
There are 6 occurrences of this word in OT scriptures and all 6 times it’s attributed to Yahuah being the Mighty/H46 one of Yasharal. Below are the 6 occurrences:
Gen 49:24 “But his bow remained in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the Mighty/H46 One of Yaʽaqoḇ – from there is the Shepherd, the Stone of Yisra’ĕl –
Psa 132:2 How he swore to יהוה, Vowed to the Mighty/H46 One of Yaʽaqoḇ:
Psa 132:5 “Until I find a place for יהוה, A dwelling place for the Mighty/H46 One of Yaʽaqoḇ.”
Isa 1:24 Therefore the Master declares, יהוה of hosts, the Mighty/H46 one of Yisra’ĕl, “Ah, I shall be eased of My adversaries, and I shall be avenged of My enemies.
Isa 49:26 “And I shall feed those who oppress you with their own flesh, and let them drink their own blood as sweet wine. All flesh shall know that I, יהוה, am your Saviour, and your Redeemer, the Mighty/H46 one of Yaʽaqoḇ.”
Isa 60:16 “And you shall drink dry the milk of the gentiles, and shall milk the breast of sovereigns. And you shall know that I, יהוה, your Saviour and your Redeemer, am the Mighty/H46 of Yaʽaqoḇ.
The word abayar has the root words ‘ab’ which means ‘father’, ‘bar’ which means ‘son’ , ‘abar’ which means ‘fly/wing’, ‘ar’ which means ‘light’ or ‘order’ & ‘yar’ which means ‘flow/throw/flood’.
Coming back to Rev 10, this mighty malak coming down from heaven has the description which fits Mashiyach.
Luke 21:27 “Then they shall see the Son of Man coming in a cloud/anan H6051 with power and great glory.”
Act 1:9 And having said this, while they were looking on, He was taken up, and a cloud/anan H6051 hid Him from their sight.
Acts 1:10 And as they were gazing intently into the sky while He was going, behold, two men in white clothing stood beside them.
Acts 1:11 They also said, Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Yahusha, who has been taken up from you into heaven, shall come in just the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven.
The one to come in the cloud is Yahusha in the same way he was taken up in the cloud. And rainbow (his covenant) on head shows he is mindful of his covenant.
The Abary word for rainbow is ‘qashath’ H7198 and has the root words ‘qash’ which means ‘gather’ and ‘shath’ which means ‘sit’,
Post the flood Yahuah brought the ‘bow/qashath in the cloud/anan’ and this was to be a sign/aut of his covenant/barayath between him and the earth.
Gen 9:13 “I shall set My rainbow/qashath H7198 in the cloud/anan H6051, and it shall be for the sign/aut H226 of the covenant/barayath H1285 between Me and the earth.
The word for covenant is ‘barayath’ H1285 and has the root words ‘bar’ which means ‘son’ and ‘yath’ which means ‘hand covenant’ and shows the Son/Bar with his hand/yod enjoins with us on the stake/tau. The bow in the cloud is a witness of the ‘gathering/qash to sit/shat’ with the Son by his hand covenant.
The malak with the bow on his head is an imagery that he is mindful of the covenant with us.
The mighty malak who descended from heaven, his face was shining like the sun and his feet were like columns of fire. Yahuchanan described the vision of the Son of Man in chapter 1 of Revelation as his face shining like the sun and his feet as if they burned in a furnace.
Re 1:15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.
Rev 1:16 And in His right hand He held seven stars, and out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword, and His face was as the sun shining in its strength.
So there is no doubt this mighty malak who descended from heaven was an imagery of Yahusha ha Mashiyach himself.
Rev 10:2 and he had in his hand a little scroll open. And he placed his right foot on the sea and his left on the land;
Rev 10:3 and he cried out with a loud voice, as when a lion roars; and when he had cried out, the seven/shabath H7651 thunders/haramyam H7481 uttered/dabaru in/ba their voices.
The Lion of Yahudah roared and when he roared the seven thunders uttered their voices.
The word ‘shaba’ H7651 means seven and ‘tau’ at the end makes it ‘shabat’. I was amazed to see the usage of this word. שבעת
Acts 2:1 When the day of Shabuot (Pentecost) was fully come/shabat , they were all together in one place.
They translated this word here as ‘come’ whereas it is the same word as the word ‘Shabat/Shabut’ which is Pentecost.
The passage should be correctly translated as Acts 2:1 When the day of Shabat Shabut (Pentecost) was full, they were all together one.
This was 49 days exactly from ‘Firstfruits’
Lev 23:15 You shall count for yourselves from the morrow after the Shabbat, from the day when you brought in the sheaf of the wave offering; they shall be seven/shaba Shabbats/shabatut.
Ex 34:22 You shall celebrate the Feast of Shabat/H7620, the first fruits of the wheat harvest, and the Feast of Ingathering at the turn of the year.
The same feast/chag ‘Shabat/Shabut’ called ‘Pentecost’ is written in Ex 34:22 with the same spelling שבעת
Whereas in Lev 23:15 the counting from the ‘firstfruit’ as seven sabbaths is listed.
Deut 16:9 You shall count seven/shabah sabbaths/Shabat for yourself; from the beginning of the sickle to put to the standing grain you shall begin to count seven/shabah sabbaths/Shabut.
Deut 16:10 Then you shall celebrate the Feast/Chag of Shabut H7620 to Yahuah your Al in a measure of a freewill offering of your hand, which you shall give just as Yahuah your Al blesses you;
Please note that these words have the ‘ayin’ in it and the ‘Shabbath’ H7676 doesn’t have the ayin in it. It’s plainly written as שַׁבָּת
They translated shabat/shabut as ‘seven sabbaths’ whereas it should be correctly translated as ‘seven sevens’ because it’s exactly 49 days from ‘firstfruits’ and is rendered correctly as ‘shabat shabut’ as in Acts 2:1 in Abary but again mistranslated as ‘come/shabat’
Coming back to Rev 10:3 the word for ‘thunder’ is ‘ram’ H7481 has 13 occurrences and H7482 has 6 occurrences in the OT רַעַם
And this word is used both ‘figuratively’ and for literal thunder as well.
This word has root words ‘am’ which means ‘people’, ‘ram’ which means ‘deceitful’ & ‘ra’ which means ‘shepherd’
Yahuah uses ‘thunder’ as judgment to strike his enemies and is a display of his power and strength.
Psa 104:6 Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains.
Psa 104:7 At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder/H7482 they hasted away.
Here in Rev 10:3 the ‘shabat ha ramyam/seven thunders’ uttering their voices is figurative and is the voice of Yahuah himself just as it’s compared in Psalms 104:7 and other verses.
The imagery of the little scroll in his hand is the prophecy which was open to be declared to his servants and his leg on the sea and earth shows everything is subdued under him and nothing is hidden from his eyes.
Psa 139:7 Where would I go from Your Spirit? Or where would I flee from Your face?
Psa 139:8 If I go up into the heavens, You are there; If I make my bed in the grave, see, You are there.
Psa 139:9 I take the wings of the morning, I dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
Psa 139:10 There, too, Your hand would lead me, And Your right hand hold me.
Job 40:6 Then יהוה answered Iyoḇ out of the whirlwind, and said,
Job 40:7 “Now gird up your loins like a man; I ask you, and you answer Me.
Job 40:8 Would you also set aside My judgment? Would you pronounce Me wrong, and you be declared righteous?
Job 40:9 Or do you have an arm like Ěl? Or do you thunder/ram H7481 with a voice like His?
The voice of Yahuah is likened to thunder in Psalms 104:7, Iyob 40:9 & many places.
Rev 10:3 and he cried out with a loud voice, as when a lion roars; and when he had cried out, the seven thunders uttered/dabaru in/ba their voices/qultayaham.
The seven thunders dabaru in their voices:
The word they translated as uttered is the word ‘dabar’ which is the very substance of the breath of Yah which brings things that are unseen to be things that are seen. The seven thunders are figurative of his ONE VOICE just as the seven spirits/seven eyes are figurative of his ONE RUACH. The plurality of the voices can be perfectly understood that his dabar is in the mouths of his true prophets just as his Ruach is in all his prophets.
Ps 81:7 You called in trouble and I rescued you; I answered you in the secret place/H5643 of thunder/H7482; I proved you at the waters of Meribah. Selah.
Psa 77:18 The voice of Your thunder/H7482 rolled along; Lightnings lit up the world; The earth trembled and shook.
Psa 77:19 Your way was in the sea, And Your path in the great waters, And Your footsteps were not known.
Psa 77:20 You did lead Your people like a flock By the hand of Mosheh and Aharon.
A spiritual comparison with other scriptures shows the mighty deliverance of his people by Yahuah’s voice and he himself marching ahead of them leading them through the great depths of the Red sea and yet his footsteps not known. The mighty malak in Rev 10 had his feet in the sea and on land.
Rev 14:1 And I looked, and behold, the Lamb was standing on Mount Zion, and with Him one hundred and forty-four thousand, having His name and the name of His Father written on their foreheads.
Rev 14:2 And I heard a voice from heaven, like the voice of many waters and like the voice of loud/gadul thunder/ram , and the voice which I heard was like the voice of harpists playing on their harps.
Rev 14:3 And they sang a renewed song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders; and no one could learn the song except the one hundred and forty-four thousand who had been purchased from the earth.
Yahuchanan hears the voice of the one hundred and forty-four thousand (12 (patriarchs) x 12 (emissaries) x 1000 (complete number) which is figurative for his entire body as ONE and their voice was ONE as of a loud thunder singing a renewed song which no one else could learn except the one hundred and forty-four thousand who had been purchased from the earth. The song through the loud voice as a thunder was a secret and sealed to those outside the covenant.
If you compare with Acts 2 where we read Acts 2:1 When the day of Shabat Shabut (Pentecost) was full, they were all together ONE.
There is no word ‘in’ before the word ‘one’ & ‘place’ after the word ‘one’. The translators added it there.
Yahuchanan heard their voice as ONE as the voice of a thunder praising Yahuah in a renewed song.
We have scriptures confirming that they were in ONE HEART
Acts 1:13 When they had entered the city, they went up to the upper room where they were staying; that is, Kepha and Yahuchanan and Yaaqob and Andray, Phiylipos and Thoma, Bartalmay and MattithYahu, Yaaqob the son of Chalphay, and Shimon the Zealot, and Yahudah the son of Yaaqob.
Acts 1:14 These all were preserving with one heart/leb were devoting themselves to prayer, and supplication, with the women, and Miriam the mother of Yahusha, and with His brothers.
Acts 2:46 Day by day continuing with one heart/leb in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they were taking their meals together with gladness and sincerity of heart,
The true elect of Yahuah are like-minded being ONE ruach with the Master and their utterance/dabar is ONE.
Rev 10:4 And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write; and I heard a voice from heaven saying, Seal up/chatham alaph tau which dabaru the seven thunders have uttered and do not write them/zoth.
Readers misunderstand here that the seven thunders utterance is sealed up and no one can understand it, but a spiritual comparison shows it’s sealed to those outside the covenant and we are that VOICE speaking as the Voice of Yahusha the basarah/good news which only his elect can understand. They translated the word ‘zoth’ as ‘them’ but if you look up the word in Strong’s H2063 it’s usage through scripture is as ‘hereby in it, likewise, the one other, same, she, so much, such deed, that,’
The passage should correctly be translated as
Rev 10:4 And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write; and I heard a voice from heaven saying, Seal up/chatham alaph tau which dabaru the seven thunders have uttered and do not write this/zoth.זֹאת
Yahuah was telling Yahuchanan not to make it plain in the writing what he heard but to allow it to be concealed.
Rev 10:5 And the angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land lifted up his right hand to heaven
Rev 10:6 and swore in/ba life/chay forever and ever, who created heaven and the things in it, and the earth and the things in it, and the sea, and the things in it, that there shall be time no longer
There is no Him and who in verse ‘6’.
Rev 10:7 but in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, then the mystery of the Elohim is cleared away/nashalam H5394, as He preached to His servants the prophets.
The Abary word H5394 nashalam has a negative usage and there is a reason why it’s used here. The word ‘nashal’ means ‘remove, cast off, slip, drop off or clear away’ and has 7 occurrences in the OT. The usage of this word in this passage is unique because the clearing away of the mystery of Alahym is to those not in the covenant and who never understood who he was/is which only his true elect knew and can be understood from the part of the verse ‘’…as he preached to his servants the prophets’’. They will never understand his attributes as it’s been removed off from their understanding.
Rev 10:8 And the voice which I heard from heaven spoke to me again, and saying, Go, take the little scroll which is open in the hand of the angel who stands on the sea and on the land.
Rev 10:9 And I went to the angel, and said unto him to give me the little scroll. And he said to me, Take it and eat it; it shall make your stomach bitter, but in your mouth it shall be sweet as honey.
Rev 10:10 And I took the little scroll out of the angel’s hand and ate it, and in my mouth it was sweet as honey; and when I had eaten it, my stomach was made bitter.
Rev 10:11 And they said to me, You must prophesy again to many peoples and nations and tongues and kings
When we compare to what Ezekiel saw we see Ezekiel was told to go to the house of Yasharal to preach the bitter things written in the prophecy and not to go to people of foreign language of the nations and the people of Yasharal will not listen. This shows that the mystery of Alahym is sealed to many who claim they are part of Yasharal. A comparison with what Yahuchanan was told, Yahuchanan was told to prophesy AGAIN to many peoples and nations and tongues and kings. While people may look at the basarah/warning of judgement going to the pagans, this would be not true because the basarah went to lost sheep of the house of Yasharal which are now scattered to the ends of the world. While Ezekiel was in the land of Yasharal with Yasharal being IN THE LAND.
Eze 2:9 And I looked and saw a hand stretched out to me. And see, a scroll of a roll was in it,
Eze 2:10 and He spread it before me, and it was written on the inside and on the outside. And written on it were lamentations and mourning and woe.
Eze 3:1 And He said to me, “Son of man, eat what you find, eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Yisra’ĕl.”
Eze 3:2 And I opened my mouth, and He fed me the scroll.
Eze 3:3 And He said to me, “Son of man, feed your stomach, and fill your stomach with this scroll that I am giving you.” And I ate it, and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth
Eze 3:4 And He said to me, “Son of man, go to the house of Yisra’ĕl, and you shall speak to them with My words.
Eze 3:5 “For you are not sent to a people of foreign speech and of difficult language, but to the house of Yisra’ĕl,
Eze 3:6 not to many people of foreign speech and of difficult language, whose words you do not understand. If I had rather sent you to them, they would have listened to you.
Eze 3:7 “But the house of Yisra’ĕl is going to refuse to listen to you, for they refuse to listen to Me. For all the house of Yisra’ĕl are hard of head, and hard of heart.
Jas 1:1 Yaʽaqoḇ, a servant of Elohim and of the Master יהושע Messiah, to the twelve tribes who are in the dispersion: Greetings.
1Pe 1:1 Kĕpha, an emissary of יהושע Messiah, to the chosen, strangers of the dispersion in Pontos, Galatia, Kappadokia, Asia, and Bithunia,
The events of the 7 seals, 7 trumpets and 7 plagues in the scroll of Revelation are spiritual in nature and only when we compare spiritual with spiritual can we see the whole picture. Let's examine what happens when the SEVENTH ANGEL POURS OUT HIS VIAL INTO THE AIR
Re 16:17 ¶ And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.
18 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.
19 And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before Alahym, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
Eph 2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
Shatan is called the prince of the power of the air and his spirit works in the children of disobedience. When the seventh angel poured out the seventh vial there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven from the throne saying " It is done". This is the voice of Mashiyach and this voice needs to be distinguished from the 'voices'.
Rev 16:18 says there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings and a great earthquake but the origin of these voices were not from the throne but from the AIR where the 7th vial was poured out into. The voices, and thunders and lightnings are the false basarah voices of Shatan deceiving imitating the voices, thundering and lightnings from the throne of Alahym.
Re 4:4 And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.
5 And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of Alahym.
6 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 beasts full of eyes before and behind.
7 And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle.
The voices from the throne in Rev 4:5 are in the sequence lightnings, and thunderings and voices and the ORIGIN IS FROM THE THRONE.
In Rev 16:17-18 the sequence of the voices, and thunders, and lightnings is in the REVERSE and the ORIGIN IS FROM THE AIR.
We shouldn't miss these important pieces of information because the reverse order and the origin from the air shows it's counterfeit and is imitation of the true.
Mt 24:24 For there shall arise false Messiahs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
When this happens the great city (kingdom of heaven) was divided into THREE PARTS by the great earthquake which is separation of the kingdom of heaven. Every mountain and island being moved out of their place. This is the threshing floor of dividing the wheat from the tares. The elect see this DIVIDING LINE and flee into the wilderness.
In the three parts two third are the devil’s children and one third are the elect
Zec 13:8 And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the YAHUAH, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein.
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, YAHUAH is my Alahym.
Hab 2:2 And YAHUAH answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that reads it.
3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.
The vision was plain upon the tables but sealed for the appointed time and will speak at the end. We are very close at the doors of the return of Mashiyach. Only elect are able to distinguish between voice of Yahuah and voice of the false prophet. Psalms 18 says v 15 that the channels of waters were seen. The foundations of the world were seen.
Ps 18:13 YAHUAH also thundered/ram H7481 in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire. 14 Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them.
15 Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O YAHUAH, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.
Only elect can see the earth in waters of Alahym's wrath. Only elect can see that the foundation of this world to see that the creature was subjected to vanity not willingly but by the reason of him that subjected the same in hope.
Alahym allowed Shatan to fall as the burning star from heaven to deceive so that he could bring his elect on eagles wings to himself.
Isa 29:3 “And I shall encamp against you all around, I shall lay siege against you with a mound, and I shall raise siege-works against you.
Isa 29:4 “And you shall be brought low and speak out of the ground, and your speech shall be low, out of the dust. And your voice shall be like a medium’s, out of the ground, and your speech whisper out of the dust.
Isa 29:5 “But the crowd of those strange to you shall be like fine dust, and the crowd of the ruthless ones as chaff blowing away. And it shall be in an instant, suddenly!”
Isa 29:6 You shall be visited by יהוה of hosts with thunder and earthquake and great noise, with whirlwind and storm, and flame of devouring fire.
Isa 29:7 Then the crowd of all the gentiles who fight against Ari’ĕl, even all who fight against her and her stronghold, and distress her, shall be as a dream of a night vision.
Isa 29:8 And it shall be as when a hungry man dreams, and see, he eats; but he awakes, and his being is empty; or as when a thirsty man dreams, and see, he drinks; but he awakes, and see, he is faint, and his being is longing. Thus shall the crowd of all the gentiles be who fight against Mount Tsiyon.
The journey of from being under the influence of the fleshly thunder basarah to be the true sons of thunder:
Mark 3:17 and James, the son of Zebedee, and Yahuchanan the brother of Yaaqob to them He gave the name Banay/Sons Ragash/tumultuous H7283, which means, Sons of Thunder/ram;
Mat 20:20 Then the mother of the sons of Zaḇdai came to Him with her sons, bowing down and making a request of Him.
Mat 20:21 And He said to her, “What do you wish?” She said to Him, “Command that these two sons of mine might sit, one on Your right hand and the other on the left, in Your reign.”
Mat 20:22 But יהושע answering, said, “You do not know what you ask. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink, and to be immersed with the immersion that I am immersed with?” They said to Him, “We are able.”
Mat 20:23 And He said to them, “You shall indeed drink My cup, and you shall be immersed with the immersion that I am immersed with.But to sit on My right hand and on My left is not Mine to give, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared by My Father.”
We see the account of the mother of Yaaqob and Yahuchanan coming to Mashiyach and asking that her sons in his kingdom sit on his right hand and left. Yaaqob and Yahuchanan before their conversion show a carnal approach in understanding the basarah. They were zealous but it was a fleshly zeal. They did not know what drinking from the cup of suffering of Mashiyach meant. They tell Mashiyach they are able to drink his cup and Mashiyach tells them ye will indeed drink of my cup and be baptized with my immersion ( being immersed in Mashiyach, being hid in his death). But to sit on the right hand and left is for those whom it is prepared of Alahym the Father. The elect are the queen of gold of Ophir at Mashiyach's right hand
Psalm 45:9 Kings' daughters were among thy honorable women: upon thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir.
Alahym in his word is showing us an imagery of a zeal of a Woman asking a physical inheritance to the right hand of the throne of Alahym and that's what National Yasharal sought after without being immersed in Mashiyach and without bearing his reproach. Yaaqob and Yahuchanan found mercy and definitely understood what it means to drink of Mashiyach’s cup and be immersed in his immersion after their conversion but the spiritual picture painted from this account is Shatan's false basarah which is a fleshly zeal claiming right to the seat next to Mashiyach without a true understanding of who Mashiyach is. Unitarianism, Trinitarism, Oneness Pentecostalism etc basarah's are just like this. A carnal man seeking inheritance of Mashiyach without understanding who he is.
In Yaaqob and Yahuchanan we see our journey from flesh to spiritual and being the true sons of thunder by the mercy of Mashiyach in being ONE WITH HIS VOICE.
