Reference from Jane Leade’s Prophecy:
"There shall be a total and full redemption by Christ. This is a hidden mystery not to be understood without the revelation of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is at hand to reveal the same to all holy seekers and loving inquirers. The completion of such a redemption is withheld and abstracted by the apocalyptical (or revelation) seals. Wherefore as the Spirit of God shall open up seal after seal, so shall this redemption come to be revealed both particularly and universally. In the gradual opening of the mystery of redemption in Christ doth consist the unsearchable wisdom of God; which may continually reveal new and fresh things to the worthy seeker. In order to which the ark of the testimony in heaven shall be opened before the end of this age and the living testimony herein contained shall be unsealed. The presence of the divine ark will constitute the life of this virgin Church, and wherever this body is, there must the ark of necessity be.”
(Message Begins)
The term ‘apocalyptical seals’ used in the fourth sentence of Jane Leade’s prophecy, means ‘end time seals’. God sealed some things in the Scriptures in His own wisdom, which contains His programme, with the aim that not all men should understand them. According to this prophecy, the programme of redemption is a top secret, which God had long kept hidden from everyone; but it will be open in these last days, especially the final phase of the redemption programme.
The book of Revelation is the final script of the Bible. In Revelation 6, the outer court (the court of the temple) was opened (Rev. 6:9). While in Revelation 8, access to the holy place is given and there the altar of God is seen. The opening of the seals in the book of Revelation, which represents the opening of the temple, are operations that would cause things to happen (Rev 11:19). For every aspect of the temple that is open, some specific things will occur on earth and in heaven. When that chamber (i.e. that aspect of the temple) is exhausted, another would open. This makes it clear that Revelation 6 is an unveiling or opening of the court of the temple.
The typical tabernacle of the Jewish temple was composed of three major compartments: the Courts, the Holy Place and Holy of Holies. The workings of God are according to these realms (compartments). These chambers or compartments define how God works. God uses the wisdom of these compartments to work out His programme of salvation. The items contained therein are not mere furniture, but represent different realms in God. They are powerful, although they have various degrees of strength.
In the tabernacle, there is an inner house which is surrounded by a tent. The inner house is higher than the tent that surrounds it. The tent, which is without a covering, is the court (the outer court). The inside part of the inner tent is not normally seen because no sunlight gets there. The operations of the entire tabernacle represent how God works. Similarly, it can also be seen as an illustration of how God receives our worship. God uses the powers in each of these realms to redeem.
The outer court is the realm of praise; the next tent - which is the holy place - is the realm of honour; while the last realm is the most holy place and is the realm of glory. In addition to this first level of division, the holy place and the most holy place can individually be divided into realms of praise, honour and glory. Praise means entrance; as the scripture says “enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise” (Ps. 100:4). Gates are different from courts; gates are for the temple. Gates are not referred to in the structure of the tabernacle because they are outside it. The tabernacle is a work of Moses. He took the most powerful aspect of the temple and brought it raw to the nation of Israel. The tabernacle of Solomon is slightly different. Solomon built the temple as a stone and raised about three courts in stones, with gates. Recall that one of the gates of the temple is called ‘Beautiful’ (Acts 3:2); this is not the same as the inner court. Solomon’s temple had no courts, only gates. Each of those gates represent thanksgiving. As one progresses through them, he moves from one level of thanksgiving to another. Similarly, in the tabernacle of Moses, as one progresses through the courts, he goes from praise, to honour and then to glory.
Therefore, entering into the courts of God is similar to being close to God’s own dimension. The courts of our God are the praise of our God. The law that governs entrance into these courts in the Old Testament has been modified in the New Testament for a spiritual entrance. Therefore, anyone who enters these courts in the spirit has entered into the Kingdom; and everything about this court is Christ. The holy place is a deeper dimension of Christ while the most holy place is the realm of God.
The book of Revelation was scripted according to the structure of the tabernacle. That is, its content portrays the three realms: the outer court, the holy place and the most holy place. The tabernacle represents God’s work and what He intends to do on earth. When God wants to carry out His programme of redemption, He will begin with the courts. He will pour out the power of the courts on earth. Then He will carry out the operations of the holy place and ultimately, the most holy place.
In the court, there is the brazen altar and the brazen laver. Everything in the outer court is made of brass. The brazen laver and brazen altar are operations. The Levites carry out operations on the brazen altar which entail killing of animals; while the priests carry out operations on the brazen laver. The high priest carries out operations in the holy place and most holy place. The Levites serve the priests, while the priests serve the high priests. The tabernacle is all about service. The writings in Revelation Chapters 1-6 constitute the bringing of men (souls) to the outer court. Thus, all of the powers contained in the outer court is for the purpose of bringing men to the outer court. These powers are described in Revelation 6:1-8 as the four horses that were unveiled at the opening of the first four seals.
The fourth horse has the power of the first two horses and is a combination of all the rest of the horses (Rev. 6:8). Taking an initial look at this horse, it appears to be one that promotes negativity; but it does not. Every negative thing that this horse will do is aimed at killing carnal life, which is the life men hold onto and live by. He will take the peace that carnal life gives men, causing their hearts to fail in holding unto carnal things, so that they can turn to God. Today, the larger percentage of men on earth seek carnal things; they live for vanity, as compared to those who seek God. Carnality keeps men from seeking God, including some believers as well.
The tabernacle is the house of service; it typifies total service to God. Anyone who has come to the tabernacle has been taken from men to serve God. Thus, when a man is a Levite, he will no longer engage in servile work and will not labour like the rest of men. He will cease from his work and be sold out completely to the tabernacle. All who serve the tabernacle do not engage in any other kind of work. When God brought Israel to the wilderness where they could not plant, they saw God’s expectation of them which was that they should depend totally on Him. It was difficult for them to meet up with what God wanted. They wanted to do other (carnal) things – plant, invest in livelihood, build houses, do business etc. In the Old Testament, if a Levite is found doing any of these, it is counted as a sin.
Therefore, those who serve the tabernacle and live by it are actually tithes and offering. Anyone who seeks to lay hands on them does so at his own peril. The practice of tithing typifies a total surrender unto God. It is an offering of redemption unto God. In the Old Testament, God instructed that every firstborn son belonged to Him (Ex. 13:12; 34:19, Num. 3:12, Deut. 15:19). God ensured this law was repeated across these books of the Bible, emphasizing the programme of redemption. The entire book of Numbers speaks of redemption. The same goes for the Levites - they are a tithe of the entire nation of Israel unto God, so that the rest can do other works that need to be done. But God’s intention is that no one will do his own works.
The purpose of Exodus was to raise the tabernacle. The tabernacle was necessary because God met with Israel on Mount Sinai and from then purposed to be with them. Mount Sinai was His landing spot in their midst and means of interaction with them. Moses interceded for the people asking the Lord to come live with them. But God could not live amongst them because their lifestyle could not accommodate Him. Therefore, God gave Moses the wisdom to build the tabernacle so He could dwell there, and the Israelites could relate with Him through it. Hence, the nation of Israel stayed at Mount Sinai for a while until the tabernacle was completed. The tabernacle was mobile; it was made as tents. A tent is different from a temple. A temple is static, while a tent is mobile. In addition to being mobile, a tent is also living. We see this characteristic from its response to the wind, the tent moves with the blowing of the wind. This tells us that the tent answers to spirits. It had raw interactions with the operations of God.
When the Bible says God pitched a temple, it is referring to a living temple (Heb. 8:2). Whatever God pitches is something that is alive and can respond to Him. The Israelites used the tent for hundreds of years, from the time of Moses (book of Exodus) until David (1st & 2nd Kings). God later allowed the Israelites to build a temple because they rejected Him as their king. God gave them their desire for a human king; and also that their king would build their temple. With the tent, God could directly infuse Himself into the nation of Israel. During those times, the nation was more organic. Their leader was the Urim and the Thummim, the high priest and the prophets. But with the advent of kings, they suffered. A king could take the belongings of any Israelite at his will and pleasure - whether it was a vineyard (as in the case of Naboth) or someone’s wife (as in the case of Uriah). God had aforetime warned them, but they would not listen (1 Sam. 8:11-17). This is because the guts of kings could never be satisfied. So, Israel suffered in the hands of kings. Kings sent them into exile.
Solomon made God move into the temple but God did not like that habitation of stone. He preferred the raw Mosaic Tabernacle (the tent), even though the temple cost more to build (1 Kings 8:27). God likes tent men like Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. He made the Israelites go into the wilderness and dwell in tents for about forty years to also experience this tent life. There is a reason for the tent life.
The major utensils of cleansing in the outer court is the brazen laver. Hyssop was used for sprinkling the unclean. The outer court is a power realm in the spirit. The horses in Zechariah are for the outer court; they serve the brazen altar. They are messengers of the court of our God.
Zechariah 6:1-5
And I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came four chariots out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of brass. In the first chariot were red horses; and in the second chariot black horses; And in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot grisled and bay horses. Then I answered and said unto the angel that talked with me, What are these, my lord? And the angel answered and said unto me, These are the four spirits of the heavens, which go forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth.
Brass represents the outer court. These horses are the four powers of the court dimension of the heavens - principalities, powers, might and dominion. The first heaven (outer court) is four in number and those who dwell there are princes and dominions. Horses are animals of dominion. The powers of the first heaven are realms of dominion.
The powers that these horses represent are not the gifts of the spirit. These are powers that can conquer nations. These are operations of the rod of iron. If these horses move in heavens, they can shake the heavens that they go over. In this month of April, these horses will walk. When all these four horses are done shaking, hearts must have been moved or turned. Then, there will be no need to convince men to turn to God. The earth is about to be ready for a harvest. There will be shakings. Some who have a terrible tie to vanity will still hold onto it in spite of this shaking. The shaking will get to the altar, past the altar and unto the veil. The holy place will open up. The altar is a confirmation of shaking because hearts are turned to God.
Revelation 6:12-13
And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
This speaks of the spiritual and it will happen in our time. God will shake the light of the things that keep men busy. Men use light to work: the sun by day and the moon by night. They will switch off the light of the things that make men not to have confidence in God. This is so that God will call them from those places. Stars will fall from heaven. These stars are spirits from the dimension of the rulers of the darkness of this world down to principalities and powers.
Revelation 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.
These stars are the screws to the heavens. When they are unscrewed, their veil will fall. Men will doubt God no more. Spirits in the air are what make men doubt God. This is the season where Muslims will begin to turn; Bhudists will begin to think about God. When this reality hits the heart, it will be real that God exists. This heaven that will depart as a scroll are veils of evil spirits. Mountains and islands are blocks. The seals will deal with the first heaven of evil spirits.
Revelation 6:15-16
And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of Him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
They will not see God physically but they will know the reality that God is on the throne. The whole earth is close to the wrath of the Lamb. We should thank God for that wrath because its essence is to heal and save the nations from getting spoilt; for human beings are racing unto perdition. In Revelation 7, there is a harvest. Many will come into the outer court at once. People will not just be born again, they will begin to know God. They will learn the testimony faster and quicker at this time.
Revelation 7:11-14
And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God, Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen. And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
The great tribulation is not the antichrist or the beast. It is of the Lamb and the seals. It is the outer court operation that casts the great tribulation. It is those horses that will trigger tribulation. This would be done by God and not evil spirits. They will bring tribulation to anyone who does not turn to God. The purpose of Revelation 6 is to turn souls from wickedness to God; and to register them as souls who will come to God.
Revelations 6:9-11
And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: and they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? 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.
Those who will die for Christ will come under the altar of brass. This place does not even belong to the Jews of the Old Testament. It is those who have been given as an offering. The Levites are offering. Out of them, is a tithe. Priests are tithes. A higher form of tithe is the high priest. God knows where He dropped all the tithes on earth. God dropped them and He knows them. A real tithe will be without father, mother and decent (Heb. 7:3) - that'sa high tithe. It is not just in the natural but much more in the soul. However, it can touch down into the natural as well. One can be working and God will receive both his work and himself. One who is a tithe is special. We do not love God coincidentally; we were programmed to love Him.
We should not give up on God or on sacrifice. We should not joke with sacrifice. It is an opportunity to sacrifice.
Revelation 8:3-6
And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand. And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake. And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
Revelation 8 opens up to the trumpet. The instruments there are the seven golden candlestick, the seven trumpets, and the golden altar. Each sounding of the trumpet was making perfect the operations of the saints. If the seal did not get some, trumpet will harvest them until the temple of the tabernacle of God in heaven is opened.
Revelation 11:19
And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in His temple the ark of His testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.
This temple is the holy of holies. The temple is open and inside it is an ark. There is a testimony in the ark. God wants to open the ark and give out the testimony.
Ref. from Jane Leade’s Prophecy
“In order to which the ark of the testimony in heaven shall be opened before the end of this age and the living testimony herein contained shall be unsealed. The presence of the divine ark will constitute the life of this virgin Church…”
This church has not been present on the earth before. Wherever this church is, the ark must of necessity be there. They are the church of the ark or ark church. A church that is a holy place is a church with the candlesticks, a table of shewbread and golden altar. A church in the outer court has the brazen altar and brazen laver. A church in the holy of holies is a church of the ark of the covenant. It is a church that He will empty the baby (content) in the ark into. The living testimony is not a paper; it is a spirit inside God.
When something is referred to as a book in the Bible, it is a provision that contains all manners of genetic operations. It is a container of things that are not just spiritual, but are of a quickening nature. They will give this living testament to us. They will put it inside us. The stone that was in the ark of Moses was not a living testament. When God is bringing the ark, They want to bring the living testimony to us. We should not open it until we are ready. When we unseal it, it multiplies. It divides itself and stays in people.
