REVIEW OF THE REVELATION CD PACKAGE (13 CD's)
(Written by Monte Judah)

Many years ago, I attended a seminar hosted by a local synagogue for
the benefit of church pastors in the city. It was my first opportunity
to hear a Rabbi share their views on Jesus and the New Testament. The
seminar was entitled, "What Jews think about Jesus and the New
Testament." In the question and answer period, we were afforded the
opportunity to ask questions. My question was about the book of
Revelation. The Rabbi's answer stunned me.

"It's a stolen book. There is nothing new in the book. All the symbols
and distinct prophecies originate from Moses and the Prophets of
Israel."

He was right! In a sense the book of Revelation is stolen. All of the
relevant prophecies are spoken of or introduced first by the prophets.
Students of the Bible are taught many key methods to properly
interpret the Scriptures. One of them is to let the Bible interpret
the Bible. When you find another passage of Scripture discussing the
same element of your study, you must reconcile and consider all
passages for a proper conclusion of the matter. Therefore, to
understand the book of Revelation, you must reconcile and consider
many passages from the Old Testament, and in the specific study of
Revelation, the comparison to the Old Testament is extensive. If you
have a cross-reference system at the margin in your Bible, just scan
it as you skim through the pages of Revelation. Most cross-reference
systems will lead you to many passages for further consideration.

To illustrate my point more specifically, consider this topic list and
the supporting parallel passages from Moses and the Prophets.

Chapter 1. Yeshua's reference to being the Alpha and the Omega is what
most English Bibles say translating from the Greek. However, this is a
Hebrew Messiah talking to a Hebrew prophet. More likely, He spoke
Hebrew and said that He was the Aleph and the Tav. The Aleph and Tav
is a deeper teaching of God originating in Genesis 1:1. It is the
fourth word in the text which is not translated into English. John's
gospel speaks to this directly in John 1:1.

In the beginning [Beresheet] was the Word [the Aleph Tav word is Et],
and the Word [Et] was with God [Elohim], and the Word [Et] was God
[Elohim]. He was in the beginning [Beresheet] with God. JOH 1:1-2

Knowing what Moses said in Genesis 1:1 is critical to understanding
what Yeshua said in Rev 1:8 and John 1:1.

Chapter 1. The Lord's day referenced in Rev 1:10 is not about Sunday
worship. The Lord's day is the last day - the Sabbath Day. According
to Moses and the Prophets, Sabbath is a picture of the Messiah's
coming kingdom, when He will rest from His labors of dealing with His
enemies. Yeshua emphatically stated that He was the Lord of the
Sabbath; therefore, the Lord's day is Sabbath. Yeshua also explained
that the Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. The same
can be said for the kingdom. The kingdom was made for man, the bride
of the Messiah, not man for the kingdom.

Chapter 2. Rev 2:17 speaks to hidden manna, a white stone, and new
names written on stone. The story of the manna in the wilderness is
critical to understanding this statement. The white stone is a
reference to the Urim and Thummin (a subject that is virtually unknown
to believers). The name written on the stone is a vintage messianic
kingdom prophecy of Zechariah.

Now listen, Joshua the high priest, you and your friends who are
sitting in front of you__ indeed they are men who are a symbol, for
behold, I am going to bring in My servant the Branch. For behold, the
stone that I have set before Joshua; on one stone are seven eyes.
Behold, I will engrave an inscription on it, declares the Lord of
hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day. In that
day, declares the Lord of hosts, every one of you will invite his
neighbor to sit under his vine and under his fig tree. ZEC 3:8-10

The promises to the overcomers (the letters to the seven churches),
such as this one, make no sense without the understanding of Moses and
the Prophets.

Chapter 2. Rev 2:14 warns the church at Pergamum that there are those
who hold to the teaching of Baalam. Baalam was a prophet who was paid
to curse but could only bless. But, he offered something else to Balak
that was even more powerful than a curse. It is called the teaching of
Baalam and you must understand Moses and the Prophets to even know
what the teaching is. The teaching of Baalam is to not listen to the
teaching of Moses nor to follow the customs of Moses.

Chapter 4 and 5. Rev 4 and 5 speaks to the throne of God. The scene is
not complete without considering Isaiah's vision of the throne looking
from the top down (Isaiah 6:2) or Ezekiel's vision of the throne
looking from the bottom up (Ezekiel 10:1). The seven Spirits of God
spoken of in these chapters are a complete mystery without Isaiah 11.
In fact, if you do not have a rudimentary understanding of the
temple/tabernacle service, the idea of 24 elders will be an even
greater mystery.

Chapter 6. The four colored horses of the first four seal judgments
are discussed first by Zechariah (chapter 6) as four spirits of heaven
that patrol the earth. The fourth horse called death, with it
judgments of famine, wild beast, sword, and pestilence are taught by
Ezekiel (chapter 14). The fifth seal addresses the martyrs buried
beneath the altar. "Buried beneath the altar" is a Hebrew idiom about
burial in Israel. It is said that anyone buried in Israel is buried
beneath the altar.

Chapter 7. The 144,000 sons of Israel sealed for the great tribulation
begs for a proper understanding originating from Moses and the
Prophets. Ezekiel 9 speaks to this sealing and explains it in
conjunction with the first judgment of God - the judgment that comes
on the household of God. The tribulation saints are waiting with palm
branches. Zechariah says the first celebration in the Messiah's
kingdom will be the Feast of Tabernacles (Booths). Palm branches are
essential to building a proper booth (tabernacle) for the festival.

Chapter 8. The angel that hurls his censor to the earth (Rev 8:3-5)
replicates the actions of Aaron when he took his censor into the
people to stop God's judgment upon Israel in Numbers chapter 16. They
had approached God's altar with contempt. This is also the starting
event of the Great Tribulation - the contemptuous act of stopping the
daily sacrifice on the altar.

Chapter 9. The fifth trumpet angel foretells of a time of darkness
when demons appear on the surface of the earth harassing mankind. The
description of the demons and how they are organized is addressed by
the prophet Joel in chapter 2. There really is a reason to "blow a
trumpet in Zion and sound an alarm on My Holy Mountain."

Chapter 10. The tasty little book of Rev 10 was also tasted by Ezekiel
chapter 2.

Chapter 11. The measuring rod of Rev 11 which measures the temple, the
altar, and the people who worship is a direct reference to the Day of
Atonement in Leviticus 16:33. The Day of Atonement is the prophetic
picture of the Day of the Lord - the day when God decides who will
live and who will die. The key to living is to have your name written
in the Lamb's book of life. Rev 20:15 says it best.

And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was
thrown into the lake of fire. REV 20:15

Chapter 11. The two witnesses of Rev 11 are a virtual duplication of
the ministry for Moses and Aaron before Pharaoh and Egypt. However,
Elijah is promised to return before the Lord comes and many believe he
will join Moses. One thing is for certain, the children of Israel have
set a cup for him every Passover anticipating his future ministry.

Chapter 12. The vision of the sun, moon, and stars in Rev 12 is the
second dream of Joseph in Genesis 37. To this date, we are still
waiting for the mothers of Israel to complete their part. Revelation
12 goes on to say how the woman who gave birth (a mother) will fulfill
the dream.

Chapter 12. The war in heaven with Michael and the angels of Rev 12:7
is addressed in Daniel 12:1 when Michael arises. Michael arises from
the earth and his guarding station and the restraining of evil against
Israel. Paul was referencing this when he spoke of the restrainer
being taken out of the way at the start of the tribulation, allowing
the emergence of the antimessiah.

And you know what restrains him now, so that in his time he may be
revealed. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he
who now restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way. And
then that lawless one will be revealed whom the Lord will slay with
the breath of His mouth and bring to an end by the appearance of His
coming; that is, the one whose coming is in accord with the activity
of Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders, 2TH 2:6-9

The he who restrains, the one who is taken out of the way is none
other than the archangel Michael. When he rises to heaven and throws
out Satan, he no longer is able restrain evil here.

Chapter 13. The prophet Daniel has much to say about the seven headed,
ten horned beast of Revelation. In particular, the prophet Zechariah
explains in some detail how the false shepherd, the antimessiah, comes
to power and the two staffs he will carry. One of the two is called
"Union." "Union" is the preferred term to reference the European Union
which is symbolized by a "woman riding a beast." The other staff is
called "Favor" and deals with his influence over others.

Chapter 15. The song of Moses spoken of in Rev 15 is found in
Deuteronomy 32. Moses wrote that song for "that generation" (Deut 29)
that would see the end of the ages, the greater exodus and the return
of Israel from all nations (Deut 30:1-10), and be that generation that
"would not pass away until all things were fulfilled."

Chapter 17. The Babylon of Revelation is a woman riding a beast that
claims she is the queen of heaven and not a widow. Isaiah chapter 47
has an extensive description including the very liturgical words used
by the woman in the Revelation.

Chapter 19. The return of the Messiah on a white horse with His robe
dipped in blood is a dramatic scene. The same scene is more complete
with the words of Daniel and Isaiah.

I kept looking in the night visions, and behold, with the clouds of
heaven One like a Son of Man was coming, and He came up to the Ancient
of Days and was presented before Him. DAN 7:13

Who is this who comes from Edom, with garments of glowing colors from
Bozrah, this One who is majestic in His apparel, marching in the
greatness of His strength? "It is I who speak in righteousness, mighty
to save." Why is Your apparel red, and Your garments like the one who
treads in the wine press? "I have trodden the wine trough alone, and
from the peoples there was no man with Me. I also trod them in My
anger, and trampled them in My wrath; and their lifeblood is sprinkled
on My garments, and I stained all My raiment. For the day of vengeance
was in My heart, and My year of redemption has come." ISA 63:1-4

Chapter 20. The first resurrection precedes a 1,000 year period, while
the resurrection of the dead follows it. Both are addressed by Daniel
chapter 12. Based on the information from both Revelation and Daniel,
you will conclude that you want to be in the first resurrection.

And many of those who sleep in the dust of the ground will awake,
these [the first] to everlasting life, but the others [the second] to
disgrace and everlasting contempt. DAN 12:2

Blessed and holy is the one who has a part in the first resurrection;
over these the second death has no power, but they will be priests of
God and of Messiah and will reign with Him for a thousand years. REV
20:6

Chapter 21. The new Jerusalem with its 12 gates and foundation stones
is pictured in Revelation 21. It is a picture of a bride adorned for
her wedding.

And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from
God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband. REV 21:2

But, Isaiah pictures the same place with the bridegroom joining the
bride.

For Zion's sake I will not keep silent, and for Jerusalem's sake I
will not keep quiet, until her righteousness goes forth like
brightness, and her salvation like a torch that is burning. And the
nations will see your righteousness, and all kings your glory; and you
will be called by a new name, which the mouth of the Lord will
designate. You will also be a crown of beauty in the hand of the Lord,
and a royal diadem in the hand of your God. It will no longer be said
to you, "Forsaken," Nor to your land will it any longer be said,
"Desolate"; But you will be called, "My delight is in her," And your
land, "Married"; For the Lord delights in you, and to Him your land
will be married. For as a young man marries a virgin, so your sons
will marry you; and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so your
God will rejoice over you. ISA 62:1-5

Behold, the Lord has proclaimed to the end of the earth, say to the
daughter of Zion, "Lo, your salvation comes; behold His reward is with
Him, and His recompense before Him." And they will call them, "The
holy people, the redeemed of the Lord"; and you will be called,
"Sought out, a city not forsaken." ISA 62:11-12

Right after this passage is when Isaiah tells us about the One whose
robe is dipped in blood.

This list is by no means comprehensive nor complete. This is only a
sample of the symbol and content relationship between Revelation and
the Old Testament.

The stolen parts of Revelation are not really stolen. The Rabbi's
statement was simply a reaction of how extensive the prophetic
Scripture of Revelation is based on the prophets of Israel. If John's
testimony is true (the book of Revelation), then it should be
coordinated with previous prophecy. When Isaiah spoke of the Messianic
Era (the kingdom), then we should find Revelation addressing that
subject with matching precision.

Therefore, we can conclude that any teacher of Revelation that does
not address all the prophets of Israel in his interpretation is both
short-sighted and failing to address all of the evidence before
drawing conclusion. Still further, many specific points made by John
are also lost. This loss usually leads to imaginative explanations and
tangents of theology and eschatology to fill the vacancies. One of the
most obvious mistakes of this type is the teaching that the church
will not go through the tribulation; but instead, will be raptured
from the earth prior to the event. This teaching is born out the
desperate need to find some kind of consolation for the disturbing
judgments of God during the tribulation. Instead of understanding the
prophecies about the "greater exodus," God's deliverance modeled after
the ancient exodus from Egypt, the church is left with conjuring up an
explanation due to their self-imposed separation from Israel.

The church separated themselves a long time ago (big theological
mistake) from Israel and have replaced the Messiah's promises to
Israel with the rapture of the church (huge eschatology mistake). Many
churchmen are frustrated with the book of Revelation because it does
not line up precisely with their theology or eschatology. It has the
word "church," but keeps talking about altars, angels, and the sons of
Israel. Even more perplexing, the kingdom is not described as being in
heaven, nor having a big church in Jerusalem. In fact, it describes a
temple (something done away with when the New Covenant came around
according to them). You should see the faces of the average Christian
when he realizes that the Messiah will be High Priest and officiate
over future sacrifices. All of this is very perplexing to churchmen
and it demands some kind of explanation. "Dispensations" is the big
word used by evangelicals to explain it all away.

If this was all there was to the book of Revelation, a strong
relationship to the prophecies of the past, then we would have plenty
to study for some time to come. However, there are some other features
to Revelation that make it stand out even more. I have included just
seven items for purpose of this article. (There are more than seven.)

You might want to buckle you seat belt for this. Many of you are going
to read things about this book that you have never heard before.

1. The book of REVELATION is intended for a select group of believers
who keep Torah and have a testimony of Yeshua.

The Revelation of Yeshua the Messiah, which God gave Him to show to
His bond_servants, the things which must shortly take place; and He
sent and communicated it by His angel to His bond_servant John, REV
1:1

The title bond-servant means something in the Bible. In fact, it is a
very specific title for a believer that has done something in
accordance with the Torah. Paul, John, Peter, Jude, James and other
New Testament leaders referred to themselves as bond-servants. It is
not a term used for every believer.

In fact, if you will look around today, where are the bond-servants? I
hear about Christians. I hear some called Pastors, Evangelists, etc.
But, how many brethren do you know that are addressed as bond servant?

The book of Revelation is written to bond-servants to show them things
which will shortly take place. If you believe the book is written to
you, then you need to be a bond-servant.

The Law of the Bond-Servant is found in Torah. In fact, it is one of
the first teachings by Moses after the Lord gave the 10 commandments.

If you buy a Hebrew slave, he shall serve for six years; but on the
seventh he shall go out as a free man without payment. If he comes
alone, he shall go out alone; if he is the husband of a wife, then his
wife shall go out with him. If his master gives him a wife, and she
bears him sons or daughters, the wife and her children shall belong to
her master, and he shall go out alone. But if the slave plainly says,
"I love my master, my wife and my children; I will not go out as a
free man," then his master shall bring him to God, then he shall bring
him to the door or the doorpost. And his master shall pierce his ear
with an awl; and he shall serve him permanently. EXO 21:2-6

If your kinsman, a Hebrew man or woman, is sold to you, then he shall
serve you six years, but in the seventh year you shall set him free.
And when you set him free, you shall not send him away empty_handed.
And it shall come about if he says to you, "I will not go out from
you," because he loves you and your household, since he fares well
with you; then you shall take an awl and pierce it through his ear
into the door, and he shall be your servant forever. And also you
shall do likewise to your maidservant. DEU 15:12-13,16-17

A bond-servant is one who has had their debt paid and is free to go.
But instead, they choose for the reason of love to remain in the
service of their Master. Very few New Testament teachers understand
that this is the dynamic for service to God once we have been
redeemed. A bond-servant of Yeshua, like Paul, John, James, Jude,
Simon Peter and others took their freedom from sin and death and
committed themselves to the service of God for the reason of love.
This is the deeper meaning of Yeshua's new commandment.

A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I
have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all men will
know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another. JOH
13:34-35

Yeshua's new commandment is really an extension on the law of the
bond-servant. In addition to the testimony of, "I love my Master; I
love my wife and children, my Master has given me," the bond-servants
of Yeshua add, "And I love the brethren of my Master. For this reason
I will not go out as free man."

By this testimony all men are to know who are the bond-servants of
Yeshua the Messiah. I asked earlier; let me ask again. How many
bond-servants do you know now? Maybe you know some. They are the ones
who have publicly expressed their love of God, love of wife and
children, and their love of the brethren. They are the bond-servants
of Yeshua. They also follow the commandment given by Moses and the
Torah (the teaching). They are the ones the book of Revelation was
written to.

Having a testimony of Yeshua and keeping the Torah is the only way you
can be a bond-servant. The Law of the bond-servant comes from Torah.
Maybe this is why Revelation speaks precisely to this point concerning
the tribulation saints.

Here is the perseverance of the saints who keep the commandments of
God and their faith in Yeshua. REV 14:12
