THE NEW JERUSALEM
And I john saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband (Rev.21:2).
The New Jerusalem is described as a bride yet not The Bride. The New Jerusalem is similar to The Bride and the event of her, The Brides, presentation to God's son, the Bridegroom.
Speaking of the time of that presentation of the Bride to the Bridegroom Jesus said:
But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only (Mat.24:36).
We can easily see from the following scripture that Father does have things fine tuned down to the smallest detail concering the presentation of the Bride to the Bridegroom.
And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year,...
The author believes that only Father knows the hour, day and month as is the understanding of Matthew 24:36. This TRUTH does not exclude the possibility or knowing exactly the correct YEAR. Matthew does not say that we could not know the year or the month only the day and hour was to be hidden.
FROM HEAVEN
The New Jerusalem is to come down from heaven. Is there a time indication for when this could happen?
And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting,....
Before the judgments of God are proclaimed the 24 elders on 24 seats are shown to us, around the Throne. They are mentioned as a group 6 times in Revelation with the last:
And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshiped God that sat on the throne,...
This verse is just before the verse in 19:7
...: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
The uniting of the Bride and the Bridegroom is also tied to the visibility of the markers of the 24 elders and the 24 seats seen in the Throne Room of God.
Instructions
As we make the following observations and calculations we will be accepting these methods of determination.
Calculations from the Throne Room!
elders and seats
Amongst the 24 elders on 24 seats are 4 living beings.
..., and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind (Rev.4:6).
24 x 24 = 576/4 = 144
The Living beings represent the 144,000 or the 144.
4 beasts x 144 firstfruit = 576 + 0 = 5760.
The Throne Room of heaven speaks loudly the years 5760 and 2000.
Scriptures of the New Jerusalem!
And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates,... (Rev.21:12).
On the est three gates; on the north three gates; and on the south three gates;
and on the west three gates (Rev.21:13).
And the wall of the city had 12 foundations,... (Rev.21:14).
And he that talked to me had a golden reed to measure the city,... (Rev.21:15).
And the city lieth foursquare, ... (Rev.21:16).
...: and he measured the city with the reed twelve thousand furlongs,...
(Rev.21:16)
And he measured the wall therof , an hundred and forty four cubits,...
(Rev.21:17).
...: and the city was pure gold,... (Rev.21:18).
And the cityhad no need of the sun, nor the moon, to shine in it: ...
(Rev.21:23).
Calculations on the City
Cube Design
6 sides x 8 corners x 12 lines = 576 + 0 = 5760
Golden City
The Judge
Dan shall judge his people,... (Gen.49:16).
If Dan is to participate in the judgment of God then we should be able to find the year in association with the Day of Judgment and Dan.
All that were numbered in the camp of Dan were an hundred thousand and fifty and seven thousand and six hundred. They shall go hindmost with their standards (Nu.2:31).
The number of the census taken of Dan's men able to go to war were 157,600. This figure is 1 + 5760 + 0. The computer problem called Y2K is to become an issue on 1/1/2000 which is within the year 5760. The computer works with 1's and 0's as noted in the figure of Dan's warriors by the 1 and 0 to both sides of the 5760.
A Song Sung
And they sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the
Lamb,... (Rev.15:3).
Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of
my mouth. (Det.32:1)
The Song of Moses is seen being sung before the Throne of God just as the 24 Elders on 24 Seats are around the Throne of God. The Elders appear to a marker key to understand the time relationship being pointed to in the dimensions of the New Jerusalem. If the Elders are a marker key then the Song Of Moses could be like wise.
The Song of Moses begins in Deuteronomy 32:1 which is the 5760 verse of the King James Bible. Moses tells us in Det.31:29 that these words are for the "latter days".
This term "latter days" could more properly be translated "at the latter end of the days".
The song begins with the command "to hear" just as the command is given in The Revelation to the overcomers to have "ears to hear".
Is the Song of Moses seen in Revelation 15:3 or 153 to indicate the last great gathering of The Fish during the coming Golden Age? Certainly te number 153 is suggestive of the miracle that Jesus preformed in John 21:11.
What is the conclusion of the matter? This is uncertain. What can be determine from the calculations?
What might be a proper conclusion to the matter is that it is far later than most would think. That when we read:
...; ye shall have tribulation ten days:... (Rev.2:10)
that Father knows what he is talking about.
That when Paul says:
For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them,... (I Thes.5:3)
He also knew of what he spoke.
To arrive within the New Jerusalem an individual cannot go around, dig under or scale over the walls without encountering the dates of 5760 and 2000. That when an individual enters thru the gates to the city of Gold they arive with the year 5760 indicated using the present day measuring reed of gold and the 5760 grains of a 1 pound weight of gold.
The foundation wall of Ezra and Nehemiah's day was 60 cubits x 60 cubits per Ezra 6:3. This figures to be 60 x 60 = 3600 square cubits. Allowing that this foundation has remained buried for the past millinieums and applying the figures of increase written in Matthew 13:8 we arrive at;
3600 old foundation x 60 fold increase = 5760
The years of 5760 and 2000 AD warrant the extreme watchful eyes of the Watchman.
The Sun
Jesus the Messiah is the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. He is also the light of the New Jerusalem.
And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light therof.
There is to be found a relationship between the New Jerusalem and the Sun.
And on the east side to wards the rising of the sun shall they of the
standard of the camp of Judah pitch throughout their armies:...
All that were numbered in the camp of Judah were an hundred thousand and
fourscore thousand and six thousand and four hundred,...
The number counted in Judah's camp ready for war was 186,400. The diameter of the sun is 864,000 miles. The number of Judah's men 186,400 with the 1 removed and a zero added. The base figure of 864 distinctly present.
When we take 5760 and divide it by 666 we get 8.6486486 or the figure of 864. This is the base figure of the diameter of the sun, 864,000 miles.
The earth travel around the sun at about 18.5 miles per seconds or at 66,600 miles per hour. Here we find the base factor of 666. In two days or 48 hours the earth will moves around the sun 3,196,800 miles.
When we take the 4 sides of the New Jerusalem and their 12,000 furlongs we get 48000 furlongs. 48,000 furlongs x the factor of MAN, 666, we have 31,968,000. The base figure of 31968 remains the constant. Although the 1's and 0's are changable that base factors remain the same.
This work is ongoing and will certainly be added to from time to time as information is located. The many relationships between the Sun, moon and New Jerusalem may be included as well.
Be a good watchman!
