THE BOOK OF REVELATION
CHAPTER 7
1 After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth, that no wind might blow on earth or sea or against any tree.
Ali is the fifth angel and he is the establisher of the Revelation of Muhammed. Quddus, the sixth angel, is the establisher of the Revelation of the Bab. Leland (the land, Zech. 3:9) is the seventh angel and he is the establisher of the Revelation of Baha'u'llah. The "four angels" came before Muhammad. Paul, the establisher of the Revelation of Jesus the Christ, is the fourth angel. Joshua, the establisher of the Revelation of Moses, is the third angel. Shem, the establisher of the laws of Noah, is the second angel, and Enoch, the establisher of Adam's Revelation, is the first angel.
At the present time the four winds of destruction are being held back by the four angels at the River of Euphrates (Rev.9:16).
2 Then I saw another angel ascend from the rising of the sun, with the seal of the living God, and he called with a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm earth and sea
This "angel" is the seventh angel, the establisher of Baha'u'llah's Revelation,[12] who has the "seal of the living God" in his forehead. This seal is the intellect that is located in the forebrain of the seventh angel. The "sun" is a symbol of Baha'u'llah.
3 saying, "Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God upon their foreheads."
This means God will keep the catastrophes[13] from happening until the seventh angel has "sealed the servants of God upon their foreheads". That is, the nuclear war is

held back until the seventh angel has sealed 144,000 people on their foreheads, meaning 144,000 people will use their intellects, which are located in the forebrain, to determine truth from falsity, instead of going on blind faith like the indoctrinated Christians who follow the corrupt clergy (who sell Jesus Christ on the cross for the dollar), or like the deluded Covenant-breaking Baha'is who blindly follow the Covenant-breakers' religious cult created by Ruhiyyih Khanum and the "Hands," and their invention of a headless monster located on Gollum14 Street on Mt. Carmel.
4 And I heard the number of the sealed, a hundred and forty-four thousand sealed, out of every tribe of the sons of Israel,
Israel means those who strive with God, meaning that of the Baha'is who are under the violation of the Covenant, only 144,000 of these five to eight million Covenant-breakers will use their intellects and read the explanations that are found here in this book, that are given by Jesus on his return, to save his people who will listen.
5 twelve thousand sealed out of the tribe of Judah, twelve thousand of the tribe of Reuben, twelve thousand of the tribe of Gad,
6 twelve thousand of the tribe of Asher, twelve thousand of the tribe of Naph'tali, twelve thousand of the tribe of Manas'seh,
7 twelve thousand of the tribe of Simeon, twelve thousand of the tribe of Levi, twelve thousand of the tribe of Is'sachar,
8 twelve thousand of the tribe of Zeb'ulun, twelve thousand of the tribe of Joseph, twelve thousand sealed out of the tribe of Benjamin.
When Salamancer the 5th conquered the ten tribes of Israel in 721 BC, he took them into Assyria (Iraq) and Media (Iran). Baha'u'llah, Who was of the tribe of Judah, which was one of the two southern tribes, came from Iran and made His Proclamation in Iraq. Therefore, the first people to believe in Him were from Iran and Iraq. When Baha'u'llah left Iraq to go to Constantinople, then to Adrianople and then to Acca, those who came with him were thus a remnant of these twelve tribes. When other people from around the world became Baha'is, they were grafted into these twelve tribes.
When these Baha'is from around the world became Covenant-breakers by going against Shoghi Effendi and the Will and Testament of 'Abdu'l-Baha, the tribes of Israel were dispersed a second time. Only 144,000 of these Covenant-breakers will come back under the Provisions of the Covenant. The rest are for the fire because they refuse to

use their intellects that God gave them and the principle of the "independent investigation of the truth" that Baha'u'llah gave them. They remain Covenant-breakers and nobody can save a Covenant-breaker as long as he refuses to know the truth. They are behind a high wall of oppression, created by their slave owners. And as long as they allow themselves to remain behind this wall of oppression they will never know the truth. Jesus said, "Seek ye the truth and the truth will set you free." In order for them to seek the truth they need to be jarred loose from their lethargy. Nothing will jar them loose except a great catastrophe or calamity. This will happen when New York City is nuked by Iraq, which in turn will happen when Suddam Hussein is assassinated by the US. America has called for this assassination and the code name for it is "Jackhammer." When this happens approximately 30 million people will be killed, and 144,000 Covenant-breaking Baha'is will repent and come under the provisions of the Covenant. But the multitude of Baha'is will not come under the provisions of the Covenant until after the nuclear war which will last about one hour (Rev.18:17,19).
9 After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no man could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands,"
Here it shows that the people of the world will become believers. They will stand "before the throne" of David with a descendant of David and of Baha'u'llah seated upon it, "and before the Lamb" (the return of Jesus as the Lamb) and they will become spiritual and get white auras (white robes). The palm branches symbolize submission to the Covenant.
10 and crying out with a loud voice, "Salvation belongs to our God who sits upon the throne, and to the Lamb!"
Baha'u'llah said kings are signs of God. This refers especially to the Davidic kings who are seated "upon the throne" of David as the guardians at the head of the Universal House of Justice. Salvation comes through these kings on the throne and through "the Lamb" who is the seventh angel, the establisher of the Revelation of Baha'u'llah.
11 And all the angels stood round the throne and round the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces before "the throne" and worshipped God,
An "angel is a man [generic, i.e., male or female] qualified with heavenly attributes and character" (W&T, p. 66). The throne is the throne of David with the guardian seated upon it. The "elders" are the twenty-four Apostles of the Lamb who are members of the second International Baha'i Council. "The four living creatures" are the United States, England, France and Russia after they become Baha'i nations. Before that, in the King James Version, they are called beasts, as they do not possess a branch of the Holy Spirit.
225
12 saying, "Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God for ever and ever! Amen."
13 Then one of the elders addressed me, saying, "Who are these, clothed in white robes, and whence have they come?"
14 I said to him, "Sir, you know." And he said to me, "These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb."
The multitudes "clothed in white robes" are those who "come out of the great tribulation." This has two meanings. In one case the multitudes are those who come out of the great thermonuclear war. In the other, Baha'u'llah explains in the Kitab-i-Iqan that the tribulation is the great oppression, and the multitudes are those who come out from under the oppression of what is called "the mainstream Baha'is" or "Baha'i World Faith" which was imposed upon them by the wicked witch Ruhiyyih Khanum and the Covenant-breaking "Hands" when they went against Shoghi Effendi and did away with the "Plan of God" that Shoghi Effendi had set up. After the nuclear war, the multitudes that are left will come out of the oppression that they were under and will become part of the Baha'i faith that was brought by Baha'u'llah, delineated by 'Abdu'l-Baha, set up by Shoghi Effendi, and is now being established in this world by the Lamb, who is the return of Jesus the High Priest. The "blood of the Lamb" is the Covenant. Jesus said the wine and the blood are symbols of the Covenant. Being washed in the Covenant saves those who have been hoodwinked and bamboozled by Ruhiyyih Khanum, the "Hands," and their phony, headless House of Justice that has no justice at all. The Covenant also saves the multitudes of Christians and the adherents to other major religions who survive the great catastrophe.
15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night within his temple; and he who sits upon the throne will shelter them with his presence.
The "temple" refers to the Holy of Holies, which is symbolized in the King's Chamber of the Great Pyramid. This is where the Covenant is placed in the Ark of the Covenant, and the high priest (Jesus on his return) stands before this Ark of the Covenant and takes it out and explains it to those who are teaching the true Baha'i faith. There is only one person in the world who, according to scriptures, is allowed to enter the Holy of Holies and stand before the Ark of the Covenant and interpret the Covenant of Baha'u'llah (Kitab-i-'Ahd) and Will and Testament of 'Abdu'l-Baha. Without this interpretation, the people are fuel for the fire.
16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; the sun shall not strike them, nor any scorching heat.
226
"They shall hunger no more" either physically or spiritually, for there will be an abundance of food. They will have the spiritual bread that is the true teachings of the Revelation of Baha'u'llah, and they will drink the pure wine which is the true Covenant of Baha'u'llah. The nuclear bomb is the same as the sun, in that the nucleus of the hydrogen atoms are smashed into one another causing them to explode. They will be free from the thermonuclear war that is about to fall upon mankind.
17 For the Lamb in the midst of the throne will be their shepherd, and he will guide them to springs of living water; and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.
The "Lamb in the midst of the throne guides them to the living waters", which are the waters of life, which are not only the true interpretations of this book, but also include the true interpretations of all the Christian and Baha'i prophecies, thus leading all of the peoples of the world to "the Kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven" that Jesus asked us to pray for and Baha'u'llah brought. This prayer is called the Lord's Prayer and it is the only prayer Jesus revealed. This prayer is fulfilled in the Covenant of Baha'u'llah which the Covenant-breaking Baha'is violated, thus leading five to eight million Baha'is astray and into perdition (utter destruction). Through his explanations and commentaries, the Lamb gets the Christians and the Baha'is back on the right track again. The only hope for safety, security, and salvation for anyone is the living waters that the Lamb guides the people to. God so loved the world that he sent His beloved son, the Lamb, back into the world to save those who are eagerly waiting for him. The main way God tests the people is He sends a Promised One who has been prophesied in Holy scriptures. Each of the Promised Ones is prophesied by the name that he will come in, the address where he can be found, the date for his appearance, and his prophesied mission. The Lamb fulfilled these prophecies. How can anyone miss him if they use their intellect to examine the proofs?
