APOCALYPTIC EXAGGERATION and 

ESSENE-SPEAK

==VOCABULARY

PAGE 3

PARALLELISM

     In the study of the Bible, words mean what we think they mean. "Vocabulary" is everything.  To our discovery that the 144,000 of Revelation 7 and 14 are Essenes, we went to a parallel scripture sequence in Isaiah 66 and by using Essene vocabulary found a prophecy of the atomic bomb prior to Israel becoming a nation on May 14, 1948.. 

On these pages we are learning to use a type of apocalyptic exaggeration that was at least partly understood by such writers as Hal Lindsay, who wrote the very popular wide-selling book on religious prophecy titled "Late Great Planet Earth".      

      He recognized that the events occurring in Israel from May 1948 onward were a game-changer, and that Christian prophecies concerning events leading to the Second Coming of Christ must be changed.  He and others like him understood  why it is that William Miller and the Seventh-day Adventists that followed his reasoning and inherited his views about a "second coming of Jesus" after 1844 failed to ever see Jesus coming in the sky with thousands of angels as they thought he would appear.

Several generations have passed, but their children are still watching and waiting.

     And although most now expect a "Secret Rapture" for themselves, and 7 years of Tribulation" for everyone else, Harold Camping, now a very old man still preaches, and spends millions on signs

promoting the same kind of public, seen-by-all-at-the-same-time "Second Coming" that William Miller preached 177 years ago.  No longer dragged into the sky by angels, Camping's raptured saints will walk up cloudy stairs dressed in their Sunday best.

   The scholars have failed to learn that the Essenes wrote the Biblical prophecies they were using, and failed to learn the Essene  "VOCABULARY" we were able to show gave exaggerated apocylyptic meanings to ordinary words. By knowing information about the ESSENES that recent scholars have persisted in ignoring, (because to accept this information would likely cost them their jobs and cause a major crisis in various churches), I have shown on these pages incredibly accurate prophecies that have been fulfilled concerning Israel, and even concerning modern wars and weapons such as the atomic bomb. As we continue, we will use a technique long used and relied on by these same scholars, the technique called "PARALLELISM".  We will, of course retain and use the knowledge we have gained about

the 144,000 (Essenes)

You have now either rejected  what I have

tried to teach you so far, or, if you

agreed with it and learned it, have

sufficient knowledge and

"vocabulary"

to continue reading and understanding

 the messages from

the 7 "angels" of Revelation 14 and 18.

Only now, to the background I have given

 you of examples of how the Essenes used

 exaggerated apocalyptic expressions and

 ESSENE-SPEAK, a new

"vocabulary"

I have added the long-used, reliable tool of 

"PARALLELISM"

Revelation 14:6 "And I saw another angel (another message, another heavenly messenger) fly in the midst of heaven, (in this context, Qumran, the "heaven of the Essenes") having the everlasting gospel  (Essene rules, doctrines, and teachings, not Paul's adaptations of these rules, that eliminated most of them, allowing Christians to be "saved" because Jesus had kept these rules) to preach to them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, 7 Saying with a loud voice, (a "loud voice" first raised by William Miller, and later by Seventh-day Adventists) Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters."(these here have Astrological meanings -- 4 Ages)
Revelation 14:8 "And there followed another angel, (another message, another heavenly messenger, now the second in a series of 7, six of which are in this chapter, and the seventh in chapter 18) saying, Babylon (in this case not literal Babylon in Iraq, but the Vatican in Rome) is fallen, is fallen, (the repetition of "fallen" represents 2 "millennial days", or 2000 years) that great city, (the "great" expands the meaning to everyone the Vatican has influence over, including Protestantism) because she made all nations drink of the wine ((the Catholic Mass)tof the wrath ("wrath of God", hell, purgatory) of her fornication."(the Church's dogma, invention)
Revelation 14:9 "And the third angel (third message in this series) followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast  (here Roman Catholicism))and his image,(the Protestant Churches who are likewise Trinitarian and keep Sunday as their weekly holy rest day) and receive his mark (Sunday worship) in his forehead, (believe it to be God's blessed "Holy Day" in place of Saturday the 7th day of the week), or in his hand, work on Saturday-- 
10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented  with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb;  11 "And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever; and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever recieveth the mark of his name.  
Revelation 14:12 "Here is the patience (remnant, what is left) of the saints (the Essenes): here are they (the Essenes) that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus (Essenism)."

Vocabulary Definitions Summary

for  Revelation 14:6-12

Babylon -- not literal Babylon in Iraq, but the Vatican in Rome, who inherited the power of Pagan Rome after the Emperor Constantine made Roman Catholicism his state religion

beast -- not one of the 4 beasts of chapter 4, but one or both of the beasts of Revelation 13, in this context a "beast" that has exercised power for almost 2000 years, the Roman Catholic church

commandments of God -- to the Essenes represented more than the 10 commandments, but included also dietary requirements and feast days in addition to the weekly Seventh-day Sabbath

earth -- in the series, "heaven, and earth, the sea, and the fountains of waters",  "earth" is the Age of Aries, from 2000 BC until the birth of Christ in 7 BC

ever and ever -- by repetition, 2 millennial days, or an Age -- 2000 years

everlasting gospel -- Essene rules, doctrines, and teachings, not Paul's adaptations of these rules, that eliminated most of them, allowing Christians to be "saved" because Jesus had kept these rules

faith of Jesus -- Essenism, with all its requirements, Jesus, even while living in India, kept the Sabbath day and was an evangelist for Vegetarianism

fallen, is fallen -- by repetition, represents 2 millennial days of the Essene Millennial Week prophecy, identifying Roman Catholicism as the "Babylon" referred to by the second angel of Revelation 14. No other religious and political power reigned for almost 2000 years during the Age of Pisces

forehead -- minds, doctrines, beliefs (Jews wore phylacteries containing scripture on their foreheads)

fountains of waters -- in the series, "heaven, and earth, the sea, and the fountains of waters",  "fountains of waters" is the Age of Aquarius, slated to begin in 2000 AD but instead begun in 1844 to fulfill a promise to the Essenes in John 14:1-3.   Begun for the Jews in May of 1948.

great city -- the "great" expands the meaning to everyone the Vatican has influence over, including Protestantism

heaven -- still the Qumran monastery, "heaven" to the Essenes, secondarily, the Age of Taurus, when the gods still walked on earth

hour of his judgment -- not the "end of the world" as mistranslated by King James' translators, but the end of the "sea", the Age of Pisces

image (of the beast) -- another group (modern Protestants) who slavishly copy and obey the major dogma of the Roman Catholic Church -- the almost 2000 year old "beast" of Revelation chapter 13

Lamb -- Jesus Christ, Essene Messiah from 29-33 AD, declared the "Lamb of God" by the Essene John the Baptist in 29 AD

loud voice -- a "loud voice" first raised by William Miller, and later by Seventh-day Adventists 

mark (of the beast) -- the two major identifying doctrines forced on Christianity by the Roman emperor Constantine in the 4th century in exchange for granting the Church legitimacy as his state religion -- the doctrine of the "Holy Trinity" and Sunday observance substituted for 7th day Sabbath observance

no rest -- a reference to the Sabbath commandment, broken by most Christians for 2000 years

patience -- remnant, or that which remains, used in Adventism for themselves as the "Remnant Church"

saints -- Essenes and those who live like Essenes, practicing "good works" not so-called "justification" by faith (without good works)

sea -- in the series, "heaven, and earth, the sea, and the fountains of waters",  "sea" is the Age of Pisces, from 7 BC until the year 2000 or 2001.  But shortened because of the Jewish holocaust

tormented with fire and brimstone --  the Catholic doctrines of hell and purgatory spelled out in detail -- also a reference to homosexual and pedophilic priests using Sodom as an example

wine --  the Catholic Mass, "bread" is not added because it has so many other meanings

wine of the wrath of God -- the Catholic doctrines of hell and purgatory have been used to control the ignorant and superstitious for 2000 years

NOTE that without knowing how the Essenes distort word-meanings and how they lived and what they believed the reader cannot really know that the Qumran Essenes were the most dedicated and stringent Seventh-day Sabbath-keepers of that Age. And that they were total vegetarians.  Such people can and will torment themselves and others with all sorts of weird and unusual identifications of the "mark of the beast" and the "image of the beast" and see every new world leader as a potential "Antichrist" intent on either severing their heads or throwing them into prison.

I have found the PARALLELISM of

ISAIAH 66

to be the major pattern for true prophecy

that avoids the pitfalls and distortions

the Essenes introduced into New

 Testament prophetic texts such as

Matt. 34, Mark 13, and Luke 22 -

and especially Revelation (all chapters)

ISAIAH 66

shows, by comparing the prophecy to history, that the "voice of noise from the city", "a voice from the temple", "a voice of the Lord rendering recompence to his enemies", is the atomic bomb exploded over Hiroshima, Japan, on August 6, 1945, at 8:16 AM.

 

 and that the "nation born at once", "in one day", as "Zion travailed", and "brought forth her children" of  verse 8 is the very old, but now "new" nation of Israel, declared on May 14, 1948 and attacked by all her Arab neighbors the next day, May 15, 1948.

 

By using our technique of PARALLISM, we find ourselves at the proper place in Matt. 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21.

Matt. 24:32 "Now learn a parable of the fig tree; when his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:  33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. 34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. 35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. 36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only."

Mark 13:28 "Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:  29 So ye in like manner, when ye shall see all these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors. 30 Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done.  31 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. 32 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.

 Luke 21:29 "And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees; 30 When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves  that summer is now nigh at hand.  31 So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.  32 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.  33 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away."

(Essene) Vocabulary of 

Matthew 24:32-36, Mark 13:28-32, and Luke 21:29-33

all these things -- includes a lot of other things not included in these few verses, such as the "sun darkened" (atomic bomb), "moon shall not give her light" (astronauts walking on the moon), "stars fell" (intercontinental ballistic missiles), etc.

angels of heaven -- the Essenes, important Essenes took the names of various angels at their holy meals of bread and wine, Jesus took the name of Sariel

day -- August 6, 1945, the day that the "voice of God" the atomic bomb over Hiroshima, was heard

done -- completed, or in the process of being completed

earth -- this earth, the earth inhabited by the Essenes has now become the Age of Pisces (Essene Astrology)

Father (my Father) -- Jesus never called Yahweh "my Father" -- sometimes he used this title for the God of Fate, sometimes for the unknown God of Creation, sometimes for Lord Shiva who provided him with transportation and the position of ruler of Kashmir, and sometimes he used it for various High Priests, such as Jonathan Annas, the High Priest at Qumran from 29 to 33 AD.

fig tree -- new nation of Israel after May 14, 1948

fulfilled -- take place, occur, literally or symbolically

heaven -- the third heaven, in which were the sun, moon, and stars, which Astrologers, such as the Essenes, could "read" to make their prophecies, has now become specific for the Age of Pisces

hour -- 8:16 AM on August 6, 1945, the "hour" (and minute) that the "voice of God" spoke at Hiroshima, Japan, ending World War II and the mass extermination of Jews in the holocaust

kingdom of God -- here, by parallelism applied to the new nation of Israel, NOT to Christianity, which appears to be a new definition of this phrase

my word(s) -- an Essene code title for Jesus Christ has now become the prophecies of Jesus Christ, and secondarily, the Bible Computer Codes (ELS Torah Codes)

near, even at the doors -- used here in the sense of "arrived already", not "about to arrive"

neither the Son -- one of a number of New Testament texts that disprove the Trinitarian statement adopted at the Council of Nicea, Jesus here does not know the "day and the hour" but states that the "Father" knows it.  Thus they are separate individuals with different knowledge that one does not share with the other.  Of course virtually ALL Old Testament texts are non-Trinitarian, some of them very definitely and explicitly so

parable -- a saying or story of Jesus that has double, or many meanings only marginally connected with the literal meaning

pass away -- go or progress from the present to the past, not necessarily be obliterated or destroyed

summer -- a time of new life and vitality for the Jews, which sadly, means "winter" for the Arabs and some "waiting" Christians

the Lord -- not Yahweh, but the real Creator God, who revealed Himself to some degree by Astrology

this generation --  the generation or group of Jews who were in Israel on May 14, 1948, when Israel was declared a nation, assumed to last 40 years, until 1988

CONCLUSION: Isaiah 66 does allow us, by PARALLELISM and by still using ESSENE-SPEAK, to interpret, not miss-interpret, the parallel texts about the parable of the fig tree in Matthew 24, Luke 13, and Luke 21. But we see here only a marginal reference to the atomic bomb in the mention of the "day" and the "hour".

 

Matthew 24:27 "For as the lightning cometh out of the east and shineth even unto the west; so shall the coming of the Son of man be. 28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together. 29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken; 30 And then shall the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall  all of the tribes of earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a  trumpet, and they shall gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other."

Mark 13:24 "But in those days, after the tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,  25 And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken. 26 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. 27 And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.

Luke 21:24b "-- and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. 25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; 26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of the heaven shall be shaken.  27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh."

(Essene) Vocabulary of 

Matthew 24:27-31, Mark 13:24-27, and Luke 21:24b-27

carcase -- thousands of dead bodies strewed over the outskirts of Hiroshima, others further away, able to get up with skin blistering and peeling from severe radiation burns, in the center of the blast, buildings and people evaporated

coming of the Son of man -- to Israel, not to the waiting Christians

distress -- disappointment of various Christian groups that Israel got Christ's attention, not their group

eagles -- in this case, helicopters and airplanes

east -- in this case can be taken literally, the US is east of Japan

elect --  in this case the "elect" turned out to be Israel, instead of Christian sects and groups, each of which considered themselves to be "the elect"

his angels -- those who helped Israel, after 1948 mostly Pentecostals, Evangelicals, and the US government

fear -- any number of fears and the general terror and mental distress and poor planning brought on by listening to false prophets promoting alternative and varied scenerios for a literal end of the world preceded by 7 years of "Tribulation", a rule by a literal Antichrist, and on and on and on.

great sound of a trumpet -- the sound made by the atomic bomb, louder the closer you are to it, perhaps the loudest just before your head leaves your body

Jerusalem -- literal Jerusalem, capital of the new state of Israel

lightning -- the flash of light made by the atomic bomb, very bright, but also brief (like lightning)

moon shall not give her light -- implies a shadow, as in an eclipse of the moon, - in this case refers to the shadows cast by American astronauts walking on the moon's surface, small indeed compared to the size of the moon's surface, but of major importance on both earth and in heaven, an example of apocalyptic exaggeration

perplexity -- partly the perplexity (puzzlement) caused by Jesus choosing his own way to "come" and a different group to come to than yours

powers (shaken) -- although in the text located in "heaven" may refer to the US and Russia becoming polarized as the Eastern block and Western block, and others called the "Third World" countries.   "Shaken" by Israel becoming a major issue that might cause World War III.

sea and waves roaring -- the "sea" again means the Age of Pisces, and the "waves roaring" because the Age of Pisces "ended" with the formation of new Israel

Son of man coming in a cloud -- "in a cloud" not "on a cloud" implies he was invisible, and that the atomic mushroom cloud symbolizes his coming

stars shall fall -- intercontinental ballistic missiles, which soon followed the atomic bomb and astronauts walking on the moon -- missiles fall on us out of the sky and light up like a star when they reflect the sun's rays

sun be darkened -- locally at least, at the moment of ignition, atomic bombs appear to be brighter than the sun, -- another example of apocalyptic exaggeration. Another reference to the Hiroshima atomic bomb of August 6, 1945 at 8:16 AM.

times of the Gentiles be fulfilled -- in a  schedule approved by Jesus "Father", Jewish sovereignty was suppressed for almost 2000 years so that Christianity could have a period of promised ascendancy -- "the times of the Gentiles"

tribulation (of those days) -- the trouble to the peoples of the world caused by World War I and World War II, but most acute to Jews, whom Adolf Hitler and the Nazis planed to exterminate or annihilate from the face of the earth, planning to kill every last Jew

trodden down of the Gentiles -- "trodden down" here means "occupied" or "ruled by", -- no Jew had control over, or rulership of Jerusalem until after the 6-day war of 1967

west -- here can be taken literally, Japan is west of the United States

your redemption -- redemption of the Jews, a chance to live in their own country on earth, as contrasted with redemption of Christians, who give up a life on earth for a proposed more meaningful life "in heaven"

CONCLUSION: Jesus surprised the waiting Christian world by coming instead to the Jews, causing perplexity and distress to some, and ending the Age of Pisces with "the sea and the waves roaring."  In this series of texts the atomic bomb is much more clearly seen by those who care to look for this event, and a cluster of events associated with it (walking on the moon, intercont- inental ballistic missiles, the "Cold War.") Certain Christian groups, not stymied by the surprising events in Israel, incorporated them into new prophetic schemes in which their groups, not Israel, became "the elect".  And Jesus knew they would do this.
