THE BOOK OF REVELATION

CHAPTER FOUR

Revised Standard Version
(Unless Otherwise Indicated)

Verse 1: "After this I looked, and Lo, in heaven an open door! And the first voice, which I had heard speaking to me like a trumpet, said, "Come up hither, and I will show you what must take place after this."

THIS doesn't mean that there was a physical door. What was happening was that the door of prophecy was open—of things about to happen now. None of these prophecies pertain to the past, that is, before John received these visions. The bulk of the prophecies are for right now, during the return of Jesus the Lamb, or before the year Two Thousand.

Verse 2: "At once I was in the Spirit, and lo, a throne stood in heaven, with one seated on the throne!"

The throne that he saw in the heaven of prophecy was the Davidic throne, and the one who he saw seated on the throne was 'Abdu'l-Baha's adopted son, Mason Remey.

Verse 3: "And he who sat there appeared like jasper and carnelian, and round the throne was a rainbow that looked like an emerald."

The Jasper is sometimes called the blood stone, as it is the color of blood. In this case Mason Remey had inherited the bloodline of King David from his father, 'Abdu'l-Baha. 'Abdu'l-Baha had adopted Mason Remey, and given him a token of this adoption: Shoghi Effendi, as the executor of 'Abdu'l-Baha's estate, delivered to Mason Remey an envelope containing a small packet with blood and hair from Baha'u'llah. A note was written on the outside envelope in Shoghi Effendi's handwriting:

"Of all the remnants of Baha'u'llah's all-sacred Person, the most hallowed, the most precious, confidently delivered into the hands of my brother and co-worker in the Cause of God, Mr. Remey. (Shoghi, March 1922)"

Another note was hand-written on the packet itself:

"Coagulated drops of Baha'u'llah's All-Sacred Blood and Ringlets of His Most Blessed Locks presented as my most precious possession to 'Abdu'l-Baha's 'dear son' Mr. Charles Mason Remey as a token of my Baha'i affection and brotherly love. Shoghi"

Thus, 'Abdu'l-Baha, who was a descendant of King David, adopted Mason Remey, making Mason Remey a descendant of King David. This lineage is to last forever. When Shoghi Effendi placed Mason Remey at the head of the embryonic Universal House of Justice he was continuing this lineage of David, with Mason Remey and his descendants, to be the Presidents of the Universal House of Justice for ever.

The rainbow is a symbol of the Covenant: "I set my bow in the cloud and it shall be a sign of the Covenant between me and the earth" (Genesis 9:13). Emerald is green, and is a symbol of peace. The Covenant of Baha'u'llah establishes peace in this world.[1] The Covenant-breaking "Baha'is" broke the Covenant, by going against Shoghi Effendi and his plan for establishing the Universal House of Justice; and by going against 'Abdu'l-Baha, by violating his Will and Testament, by doing away with the Executive Branch which is an integral part of the Universal House of Justice, that gives that body justice (Will and Testament, p. 15). Without justice there can be no Universal House of Justice. These Covenant-breaking "Hands", in order to secure their take over of the Administration, for their own aggrandizement and empowerment, lied to the believers, saying—without any foundations or proofs—that Mason Remey had broken the Covenant and that he should be shunned. Without any investigation on the part of the "mainstream Baha'is," they gobbled up from this poisonous cauldron of deception—without any investigation on their part—making them so sick on this venom that most of them will never recover, and thus die in their sins of a Covenant-breaker. In order for some of them to recover, God has sent them a physician with the right remedy, who is very spiritual, and a doctor of natural medicine as well. This is the return of His beloved SON, Jesus the Lamb, who gave this Revelation; and is therefore the only one that has the correct interpretations of this Book of Revelation.

Verse 4: "Round the throne were twenty-four thrones, and seated on the thrones were twenty-four elders, clad in white garments, with golden crowns upon their heads."

These twenty-four elders are the twenty-four apostles of the second coming of Jesus the Lamb. They are a part of the second International Baha'i Council set up by the Lamb. Mason Remey set up a second International Baha'i Council, and then disbanded it, explaining that the Head cannot create the body and the body cannot create the Head. Mason Remey's authority comes through the Lesser Covenant, which is the Covenant that the Manifestation makes concerning His successors. In this Covenant there are no provisions for the second guardian to reestablish what the "Hands" threw out. This is the work of the Return of Jesus the Lamb, who has the authority of the Greater Covenant. That is, he was prophesied in both the Old Testament and in this Book of Revelation.

Verse 5: "From the throne issue flashes of lightning, and voices and peals of thunder, and before the throne burn seven torches of fire, which are the seven spirits of God;"

This has both a spiritual and a physical explanation. The throne is the Davidic throne with the guardian seated upon it. The flashes of lightning is the rapidity that, at the appointed hour, will flash the message of the kingdom with a descendant of David seated on the throne, throughout the world, enlightening mankind; and voices will be heard both for and against. The thunder is the voices raised in derision by the Covenant-breakers, rejecting the guardianship, but mostly by the clergy who will be pounding on their pulpits crying: "Antichrist! Antichrist!" Also at this time, World War III will start and the lightning will be the Ballistic Missiles with Nuclear Warheads that will be going to their targets lighting up the night sky; and the thunder is the explosion of the nuclear bombs.

Verse 6: "and before the throne there is as it were a sea of glass, like crystal. And round the throne, on each side of the throne, are four living creatures, full of eyes in front and behind:"

The sea of glass is the Revelation of Baha'u'llah and His Covenant that is made clear as crystal by the explanations and commentaries of the Lamb. The four living creatures are four nations that are the first to become Baha'i States, or nations. Before they became Baha'i, chapter 13 calls them the four beasts— because they are secular, not Spiritual—but when they become Baha'i, by the explanations and commentaries of the Lamb, they will be Spiritual: Living Creatures! These living creatures, or nations, have eyes in front which means that they foresee the future, and eyes behind, that are cognizant of the past, and learn a great Lesson from it: for the nuclear war will be over in one hour in which 1/3 of mankind will have perished. This war will be fought between the four beast nations England, France, United States and Russia. For instance, all the cities in America of a population 100,000 or more will be destroyed. After that they will become the first Baha'i Nations. Then they will be living creatures (Spiritual).

Verse 7: "the first living creature like a lion, the second living creature like an ox, the third living creature with the face of a man, and the fourth living creature like a flying eagle."

The Lion is the symbol of England. Before Russia became Communist it had the symbol of the Ox. After the nuclear war Russia will again adopt the symbol of the Ox. At one time France had the symbol of the fleur de lis, but after World War II it took the symbol of De Galle (the Face of a Man). And of course the symbol of the United States is the symbol of the Eagle.

Verse 8: "And the four living creatures, each of them with six wings, are full of eyes all round and within, and day and night they never cease to sing, "Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!"

An angel is pictured having two wings. A cherub is pictured as having four wings and a Seraph is pictured with six wings. These depict degrees of spirituality. The "eyes all around and within" is that they are cognizant of their spirituality all around them and within.

Verse 9: "And whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to him who is seated on the throne, who lives for ever and ever,"

This is when they accept the guardianship of the Baha'i faith, and that it lives forever, meaning that there will always be a guardian, a descendant of 'Abdu'l-Baha seated on the throne of David, and seated at the head, as president of the Universal House of Justice. "Forever" here means at least the full dispensation of Baha'u'llah, which is a half a million years. "Thou hast said, 'I have made a covenant with my chosen one, I have sworn to David my servant I will establish your descendants for ever, and build your throne for all generations'" (Psalms 89:3, 4). Baha'u'llah in His Proclamation, on page 89, said that He "ruleth upon the throne of King David." In His Covenant, He continued this Davidic lineage by appointing His son, 'Abdu'l-Baha, to succeed him. 'Abdu'l-Baha adopted Mason Remey to be his son, so that this lineage would pass to the gentiles as Prophesied:

"The scepter shall not depart from Judah nor a lawgiver [Davidic lineage] from between his feet [reproductive organs], until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be." (Genesis 49:10 KJV)

As you can see that this was in the Plan of God from the beginning. Baha'u'llah was of the tribe of Judah, but this was to pass from the tribe of Judah, to the gentiles when Shiloh comes. The Ark of the Covenant was kept in Shiloh (1 Samuel 4:3) and it is to be returned to Shiloh, and "unto him shall the gathering of the people be." This Shiloh is none other than Jesus the Lamb on his return. He is to gather the people from all over the globe, that are now with Covenant-breaking "Baha'is," that have been separated from the Covenant by their slave masters, the Arch Covenant-breakers of Ruhiyyih Khanum and the "Hands". Shiloh is now in possession of the Covenant, and anyone wanting to come back under the Provisions of the Covenant needs to take a hold of the strong cord of Jesus the Lamb, which is his explanations and commentaries. If they don't do this they will die in their sins, and Hell will be too good of a place for them.

Verse 10: "the twenty-four elders fall down before him who is seated on the throne and worship him who lives for ever and ever; they cast their crowns before the throne, singing,

Verse 11: "Worthy art thou, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for thou didst create all things, and by thy will they existed and were created."

The twenty-four elders are members of the second International Baha'i Council,[2] that has the Davidic King, a descendant of 'Abdu'l-Baha, for its president. They are very busy in reestablishing the Covenant that the "Hands" threw out, back in the world.

ENDNOTES

1 By breaking the Covenant of Baha'u'llah, the Covenant-breaking "Baha'is" have done away with that peace. See Ezekiel, chapter 37 verse 26. [back]

2 This Council in obedience to Shoghi Effendi will go through four stages, as ascribed by Shoghi Effendi, to become Baha'u'llah's Universal House of Justice, by the end of this century. [back]
