Symbolisms and Images are Only a Representation.

 For the law, having a shadow of the good things to come, and not the very image of the things, 
can never with these same sacrifices, which they offer continually year by year, make those who approach perfect. 
For then would they not have ceased to be offered?
Hebrews 10:1-3

The Holy Spirit speaks through symbolisms and images which have a very clear meaning after they become reality. For example, this verse is clearly symbolic, “Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.” Revelation 13:18 Today, we live in the technological age filled with calculations, computers, space satellites, cellular technology etc. At the same time, there is a thing in the world that has power over physiology and is able to form our thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and feelings. It opposes the Deity of Jesus Christ (6), it tramples on the Holy Spirit (6), and it blasphemes God (6). People are being turned into flesh and blood human robots. It is clearly seen that the mark of the beast is in the world today as it dominates people in every city around the world. The symbolism has become a reality.

The Old Testament is filled with symbolisms, images, and shadows of things to come, such as in the book of Daniel relating to this present unGodly world government. Also, we can read the Old Testament and see all of the images, symbolisms, and shadows that points to the first coming of Jesus Christ. Many people call that the “scarlet thread” that runs from Genesis through Revelation. Until the actual coming of Jesus Christ, all of those symbolisms and shadows never lived up to His actual presence in the world. The shadows of the symbolisms became a reality when He shed His blood on the Cross for the atonement of sin, was resurrected after three days in the grave, and ascended to be with God forever. The symbolisms performed by humans were never able to do what Jesus Himself did, otherwise all the rituals would have ended the same day that they started. Unnecessarily, the rituals continued even after the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ because of a failure to recognize Him as the Messiah.

Human Means Cannot Purify the Soul.

For the worshipers, once purified, would have had no more consciousness of sins. 
But in those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins every year. 
For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and goats could take away sins.”
Hebrews 10:1-4

It is not possible for human efforts to fulfill the symbolisms given through the Holy Spirit. For example, people were calculating all types of numbers trying to calculate the number of the man who would have the number of the beast. Some of the names they calculated were the Pope, John Knox, Martin Luther, Napoleon, Hitler, several Roman emperors, and many more. In that case, it would only require a simple assassination to defeat Satan, the beast, and the false prophet. That is ludicrous since we know that the unHoly trio will be destroyed by Jesus Christ. Today, we know that “man,” is actually “mankind,” which means humanity. That is what we see around the world as people in every city globally are living by the thing that has power over physiology and is able to form thoughts, behaviors, feelings, and emotions. It is the mark of the beast.

It was not possible for human efforts to fulfill what the first coming of Jesus Christ fulfilled. They were using the blood of bulls and goats as an atonement for sin, but nothing they did was able to purify the human soul. It was like calculating many different dimensions for many tools of sacrifice, but never being able to get to the heart of sin, “For the worshipers, once purified, would have had no more consciousness of sins. But in those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins every year.” They were right in establishing those rituals because it was the commandment of God, but the sacrifices only served to verify Jesus Christ as the Lamb of God and sacrifice for sin. Symbolism cannot fulfill the reality of what it represents, “For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and goats could take away sins.” The rituals of the animal sacrifices were symbolic for the sacrifice which Christ would make on the Cross.

The Sacrifice of Jesus Christ Atones for Sin.

“Therefore, when He came into the world, He said:
“Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, But a body You have prepared for Me.
In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin. You had no pleasure.

The battleground is for the soul of human beings. The “666” thing has power over physiology and wants to establish the body as its seat of government for the mark of the beast. They do that by forming emotions, thoughts, and behaviors like controlling a flesh and blood human robot. God created the body to be the home of the Holy Spirit through Jesus Christ. There are no human honors, efforts, possessions, money, sacrifices, nor offerings that can win the heart of God, “Therefore, when He came into the world, He said: “Sacrifice and offering You did not desire.” What God does desire is a body, and that body is the body of His Son that was sacrificed on the Cross for the atonement of sin. By His atonement for sin, we can offer our body to God by accepting what Jesus did for us and dedicating our body to the Holy Spirit. The body is made to be the temple of the Holy Spirit and there are no human efforts nor power over physiology that pleases God, “In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin, You had no pleasure.“

Jesus Christ is the Fulfillment of Symbolisms.

Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come—In the volume of the book it is written of Me—
To do Your will, O God.’”  
Previously saying, “Sacrifice and offering, burnt offerings, and offerings for sin
You did not desire, nor had pleasure in them”
(which are offered according to the law),”
Hebrews 10:5-8

Everything prophesied about, all of the symbolisms, all of the foreshadowing, all of the representations referring to the first coming of Jesus Christ have been fulfilled, “Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come—In the volume of the book it is written of Me—To do Your will, O God.’”  The “scarlet thread” from Genesis to Revelation is now clearly seen as a reference to the atonement of sin that Jesus Christ has made. His only purpose in coming was to do God’s will, which was to reconcile all people to God by His death, resurrection, and ascension. Through Jesus, the human body is redeemed as the temple of Holy Spirit.

Today, there is a thing in this world that has also fulfilled the symbolisms and images summarized in Revelation 13, it is the mark of the beast. It has come to do all the will of its father, Satan, by denying the Deity of Jesus Christ, blaspheming God, and trampling on the Holy Spirit. It wears the clothes of humanism and has dominated the churches by the people who choose to make their body its seat of government. Humanism and the church are the fulfillment of symbolism of the “two horns like a lamb”, “Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon.” Revelation 13:11

Being Set Apart Signifies Our Sanctification.

“He takes away the first that He may establish the second. 
By that will we have been set apart through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.”
Hebrews 10:9-10

When we accept what Jesus Christ has done for us on the Cross to atone for sin, our body becomes the temple of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit has nothing in common with sin and He causes us to come apart from this present world. Being set apart from the unGodly social network of this present world signifies our sanctification. All the world lives for the mark of the beast, so we have a lot to be set apart from, “All who dwell on the earth will worship it, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb.” Revelation 13:8 We who live for Jesus Christ are separate from everyone else as the road is broad that leads to destruction but the path to eternal life is narrow.

“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,“
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’”
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
Revelation 2:24-25, 3:11
