According to Rev 22 we know that this angel is NOT Y'shua because the individual rejects worship of himself. As well, John; who had seen the Glorified Lord on the Mt. of Transfiguration, and as recorded in Rev 19; confuses this individual with his best friend - twice at that (Rev 19:10). This individual says he is John's and the prophets' brother, hence this rules out a heavenly angel. If you look at Daniel (8:16, 10:5-6, 12:7) very closely, you will see that Gabriel is different from the individual who is dressed "in linen". Gabriel, though an angel, is described in both passages as "the man" and "like unto the sons of men" and the description of the one "in linen" (Chapter 10 - the priesthoods garments were made out of linen which is a reed), matches the angel in Rev 1, 10, 22 (and possibly in chapter 14, the second angel with the sickle) and in Dan 8.

In Revelation, when John says he fell down to worship the angel "who showed me these things," he is not talking about the angel of the vial judgments, but the angel of chapter 1 who was still at his side. This individual is someone who speaks with the authority of Y'shua but who IS NOT Y'shua, but is in fact, just an ordinary man. I might add here that, though Y'shua was Jewish, he didn't look Jewish (John 8:48, Songs 5:11), but he looked like a Samaritan - one of the lost tribes in fact, probably Ephraim.

Now, would anyone out there like to take a guess as to how this might be possible, that this individual is indistinguishable from the Lord, and who this person might be. All this is further emphasized when we realize that, in the spiritual realm, people's identities are discernible via the spirit, as in the Mt. of Transfiguration where Peter, James and John, though they had never met Moses and Elijah (and were half asleep), that information was readily apparent to them (Mt 17:34). Now, compare this with John, IN THE SPIRIT, here confusing a mere mortal with his best friend - someone he possibly grew up with, and ministered to, and saw on at least two occasions in his glorified form (Mt 17 and Rev 19).

Remember, Thomas means "The Twin" and he was left out of the post resurrection ordination for a reason - the Lord could have breathed on him a week later, couldn't he (Ps 80:17, 139:1, Is 46:10, 55:3-5, 61:10, Jer 30:21, 49:19, Zech 13:7, 1Cor 15:49, 1Jn 3:2 etc)? The fact that he chose not to implies an apostolic ordination in the future - another twin - which is portrayed in the constellations, and, again, seen in the "twin" angels of Rev 14:14-20.

Also, something to think about in this regards is His words in John 10:34 compared with the source in Ps 82. The only way this can be understood is if His words are taken LITERALLY - the argument for his Deity demands it - meaning that some of the people He was talking to, and some of the people who live today, are specifically descended from the elohim who mated with the daughters of men (see also Zech 12:8), primarily Cain, literal son of the highest archangel (Gen 3:15). Scribners Bible Dict. in the article on "Giants" (forget the author of that article) said that, regardless of peoples particular theological opinion, the writer of the account expected his readers to understand that the fallen angels had physically mated with mortal women - period. And, when you realize that the book of Genesis is composed by eyewitness accounts (P.J. Wiseman, "Ancient Records and the Structure of Genesis"), and compiled by Moses, then this is conclusive.

Now, Cain was told that if he did well he would be 'accepted' (Gen 4:7), and Peter tells us that Y'shua preached to these spirits when he was in the earth (1 Pet 3:19) which implies the possibility of repentance - also implied in Ps 82:3. This is further supported when we realize that He compares the Angelic realm with the fowls of heaven (compare Mt 13:4 and 19). As such, they are then called clean by God in Acts 10 - the ones that repent.

What I believe you have is the sacrifice of Y'shua effects reconciliation not only for us, but for the fallen angels and their descendants who repent. As well, if this has been 'hidden' for the most part for 2,000 years or more ("first shall be last and last first"), and is just now making the rounds on the angelic grape vine (1 Pet 1:12), then this will greatly increase the spiritual warfare going on in the world, which is implied during the end times.

Now, back to the angel. The only way that this reconciliation for the angels could be secured is if the person claiming the sacrifice and imputing man's sin onto the head, was also imputing the sin's of the fallen angels onto his head at the same time. As the Son of God, there is no problem in thus 'redeeming' the angelic realm, for in reality he has redeemed the entire cosmos and its citizens. All that would be necessarily is a 'firstborn' son of Cain's lineage (Satan's son, as 'firstborn' of the highest archangel would have authority over ALL OTHER ANGELIC BEINGS), becoming 'high priest' of the angelic realm. Only Satan and Cain would not be covered, unless they willingly submitted to this individual (and since both have previously been judged at the flood, this is no longer possible, I don't think).

That this is the case (see Mt 16:19!), seems to be implied by additional studies of the fowls of the heaven. They are connected to Joseph in Egypt (Gen 40:17); Daniel in Babylon (4:12); The Revived Babylon (Zech 5); The Lion/Eagle Kingdom of the end times, and with the Prince of Ezekial in the Kingdom (Ez 17, Ps 1, Jer 17, Lk 13:19, Mk 4:32 etc).

What we should all keep in mind is that in ancient times the kings and priest literally claimed to be descendants of the elohim (gods) which, the Bible states, they were; and the populace for the most part also believe this. They then exalted themselves and demanded and received, worship that only belonged to God himself. And these became the Pantheon of the gods. And one individual himself is the father of this pantheon - Cain, and I believe he will be back (see upcoming post The Therion) and claim to be God, at the mid point of the trib.

However, in Jer 10:11 God himself calls all of these gods (that didn't create the heaven and earth and who don't repent), mere 'men' who will perish in the judgment of the tribulation, which is consistent with Ps 82. The angel of revelation, sent by Y'shua, knows that he is just an ordinary man, and will never be God or worthy of anyone's worship. However, that DOES NOT negate the calling on his life and I would refer one back to Is 64 and Zech 12 as you ponder all this (also Ps 4:3, 20:1-6, 33:11, 37:4-6 and 23-24, 40:1-6, 41:12-13, 61:1-8, 92:1-15 etc).

This duality or of these two, can also be seen in some of the Psalms (2, 21, 22, 40, 45, 69, 72, 91, 118); specifically those that are Messianic and referring to Y'shua, but also seem to be talking about someone else in the future, who is just an ordinary man, whose life, due to circumstances and the will of God, is intertwined together in such a way that it is
virtually impossible to separate the two, as with an
alloy.

They are distinguishable in three ways. The first is that this other person may have some sin that the psalms applies to him, and thus CANNOT be referring to our Lord. As well, this same individual, unlike our Lord, is promised deliverance from death. And lastly, when the Psalms is obviously still future, and where the Lord is mentioned, this is a specific reference to Y'shua, and thus the individual is someone else.

Several of these psalms mention that the 'world' will 'see' an event that causes them to 'remember' and that some of them then 'turn back to God'. This event will be fulfilled during the trib, when the New Covenant is again offered to Israel. This is also hinted at in Ezekial 37 where TWO STICKS BECOME ONE, and where David (Beloved) is promised to be Israel's KING (Melek) and their Prince (Nasi) for EVER (Olam), as if indicating two separate people, but in close relationship to each other.

All of this is also contained in the constellation of the twins. Willaim Banks (The Heavens Declare) says:

It should not surprise us that the two figures appear to be identical twins,,,[Castor] will be one with him [Pollux] in thought, word, and deed...so identified with him as to be almost indistinguishable from him [Rev 19:10]...Portrayed here are two youthful bodies...jubilant figures seated side by side. The figure on the left is named Pollux or Hercules, and the figure on the right is named Castor or Apollo. The figure on the left is holding a club in a relaxed position. The figure on the right holds up an unstrung bow and arrow in his left hand while in the other, he holds a lyre or harp [Is 30:32]. The figure on the left is embracing the figure on the right and has his arm around the latter's waist [AND THEIR TEMPLES ARE TOUCHING EACH OTHER]...Gemini was originally known by its Hebrew name Thumin - The United. The Hebrew, Arabic and Syriac names carry a connotation of completion, the completion of a year...the consummation or completing of a thing long-awaited [The Olam]...In the Latin the root word used in Gen 25:24 to describe the births of the twins Jacob and Esau, is the same word translated Fellow in Zechariah [13:7]...Its meaning is defined by strong as "an associate, companion, a kindred man, comrade or another (of like kind)." Thus the kindred man to God [Y'shua], or 'another fellow just like me is coming'...This sign tells of the perfect uniting or pairing, as in brotherhood...of two who will become comrades of God; they will together rule and judge. One of them is also seen to be the seed and the branch who has suffered, been afflicted in the foot, and labored, but is now established upon His throne and flourishing and spreading as the Palm tree. The other is to have a part in the final conflict, will bear arms, and will participate in the rejoicing afterwards, singing the other's praises, before joining with him to judge and to rule.

And from The Dictionary of Symbolism:

The twins were greatly esteemed, as in the case of the Greek and Roman myths of Castor and Pollux...twins are often so portrayed as to symbolize dually opposed temperaments...one is mortal the other is immortal. In other cases they compliment each other perfectly, forming an invincible duo so dangerous to the cosmic order that they must be eliminated from the land of the Living.

There is one stage that most every man in this life goes through, and that is the death of his father (there will be exceptions to this of course at the rapture). At that point in time, a man now has to stand completely on his own. In Y'shua's case, when his Abba withdrew his presence, for very practical purposes, it was AS IF his Father had "died" and now Y'shua had to stand completely on his own as the man that his Abba had raised him to be. Eventually, he would have reached this point on His own, but it is possible that "no flesh" would have been saved. I just reminded him of who he was, and he did the rest and stood as the man that his Abba wanted him to be (Ps 69:4).

Now, when I was in the Air Force up in Alaska, one of my co-workers gave me some info that I still think of from time to time. He said to me one day, "Dave, if you ever find a knife made out of QueenSteel, buy it, cause it will be the best knife you ever own." The reason being that, usually, when you are skinning out a deer, because the hair of the deer is so course, you have to stop and resharpen the knife several times in the process, as it loses its edge. One time, apparently, he had borrowed a friends knife to skin a deer and the knife held the edge for the entire process. So he, being highly impressed, looked at the blade and it was made out of QueenSteel. He has been looking for one ever since, and occasionally, when I am at a sporting goods store, I find myself looking, to no avail, for this 'legendary' blade.

Now, the real measure of a man is not in the size of his wallet, or is estate; it is not in the size of the circle of his friends or his political influence; nor is it in the size of his 'harem' or 'arsenal'; nor the size of his intellect or charisma. The real measure of a man is in his ability to stand up under EXTREME STRESS AND PRESSURE with out breaking, or losing his edge. In this respect, there never has been, nor ever will be, a greater man then THE LORD Y'shua BAR Y'hova, and I still want to be like him.

I like to call it Theoferrum.
