Revelation 5:9-10​

King James Version​

9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign ((((((((on the earth.))))))))

John is shown a vision of heaven where faithful saints have ascended the spiritual body of Christ after physical death. Since in life Christ loved them and washed them from sins by His own blood, before they died Christ made them kings and priests unto God. That will not end when Christ comes again and the saints are physically resurrected as kings and priests, reigning forever with Christ on the NEW EARTH.

Revelation 1:5-6 (KJV) And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

Revelation 5:6-10 (KJV) And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne. And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints. And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.

Read the chapter in context!

You don't believe the saints are priests and kings in this age of grace through faith in Christ. You've argued all along that saints of Christ shall become priests and kings on this earth for one thousand literal years after Christ comes again! Don't link my biblical understanding with your imagination and assumptions as you pretend to know the Bible, when clearly you do not study Scripture as a cohesive whole. Rather you, like all premillennialists grab a verse here and there desperately trying to make your unbiblical doctrine palatable!

It says we have been MADE kings and priests, so I think the best approach to this is to say that we are reigning as kings and priests on the earth NOW, which is exactly what having been MADE kings and priests implies. We continue to reign as kings and priests in heaven when we die and will continue to do so on the new earth when Jesus returns, but what he is not willing to admit is that we reign as kings and priests NOW.

Yes there is a literal thousand year reign of Christ on earth with His anointed priesthood, that were already anointed as a “Royal Priesthood”when they were born again of the Holy Spirit. So don’t try to misrepresent my position as do other deceivers.

You and the other Amils are still in the dark when it comes to understanding the spiritual things of God. You need some oil in your lamp.

It is only not palatable for those who are yet carnal and are not ready for the meat of the gospel.

1 Corinthians 3:2
I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.

Okay, so you agree that we are kings and priests now. Are we kings and priests but somehow not reigning? Where are we located?

Total nonsense. Look in the mirror to see the one who is in the dark on these things.

Those who believe in and teach this false “Amil” doctrine are not of God’s Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth, not the spirit of Error. No lie is OF the Spirit of Truth!

1 John 2:21
I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.

1 John 2:27
But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him

You're way out of line. You are foolishly equating having a perfect understanding of all end times doctrine, or at least a correct interpretation of Revelation 20, with salvation! Are you kidding me? You are completely delusional. You will be judged by the same measure you are judging us which is very bad news for you (Matthew 7:1-2). Nowhere does scripture teach that we are saved by way of interpreting Bible prophecy accurately without fail. We instead are saved by grace through faith and not by works (Ephesians 2:8-10). You don't even understand that fundamental truth of Christianity.

Once again you speak of a literal one thousand years of time after Christ returns! Once again you fail to prove what you allege! You seem to be coming around now expressing you believe what is written regarding the priesthood of believers when we are born again.
You and the other Amils are still in the dark when it comes to understanding the spiritual things of God. You need some oil in your lamp.

There you go again! Imagining you alone have spiritual understanding while Amils are still in spiritual darkness! Saying Amils "need some oil in our lamp" is making yourself judge of our hearts.

Matthew 7:1-5 (KJV) Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

Romans 14:9-13 (KJV) For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living. But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God. Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.

It is only not palatable for those who are yet carnal and are not ready for the meat of the gospel.

1 Corinthians 3:2
I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.

You show yourself to be carnal when you make yourself the judge of a brothers heart! You set yourself up as the Apostle Paul. You should understand these words you quote out of context come from Paul, writing he, not you, have fed these carnal babes (immature in knowledge) in Christ, but since they and apparently you are still to unlearned to understand, Paul could not speak to them of spiritual truths because like you they were not able to hear.

1 Corinthians 3:1-3 (KJV) And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ. I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able. For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?

Now let’s move on to the image of the man/beast that is worshipped by the whole world.


This worshipping the image of the first beast (serpent) is done by doing the will, or lusts of the Devil by way of his spirit working in them. As the true worshippers of God worship Him in Spirit and in Truth, and by doing the will of our Father in heaven.

It is written, those who commit sin are of the Devil, just as we are servants to whom we obey, whether you serve sin unto death or righteousness unto Life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Paul said of mankind in Romans 1:22-23“Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.”

To understand how man stopped worshipping God’s invisible image in himself, and started worshipping the Devils image we must first go back again to the beginning of creation.

In the very beginning man was created in Gods own image, as it is also written. But understanding what that image means, and how man defiled that perfect image of God in himself is all important.

It is written that no man has ever seen the face of God, as it is also written God is invisible and that God is Spirit. But Jesus Christ is the express inward image of the invisible God.

Colossians 1:15; “Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:”


So was God's invisible image a visible outward image, or was it the invisible inward image of God, which God created in man, which is after God’s own heart? Hopefully you will come to see it is the invisible inward image of God that man was first created in, but was also later corrupted in man because of sin.

And so when sin entered into man he took on the image of the earthly, and put to death in himself the image of the heavenly made in the likeness of the Lamb of God. I believe this also explains the meaning of the scripture that says “the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.”

Jesus said be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect. And as the scriptures show man was first created perfect (in Gods own image) in the day God created man.

Ezekiel 28:15; “Thou was perfect in thy ways from the day that thou was created, till iniquity was found in thee.”

Just as God’s works and ways are also perfect.

In this we see Adam was first created in the Gods own inward image (in His ways); that was until sin entered into Adam. And so at that point in time man began to take on the image of the man of sin, fashioned after the Prince of this world, who is like a natural brute beast, and who also does the lusts of his father the devil.

Keep in mind it is written the serpent was the most cunning beast God had made.

So if mankind has fallen from the image of our heavenly Father, and taken on the image of the earthly father, how can we then return back to that perfect Godly image? It is only possible by being born again of Gods Holy Spirit, and be renewed and transformed from our old man of sin image back into the image
of God’s blessed Son Jesus Christ (who is the express inward image of God) as is shown in Hebrews 1:3.

And here are some verses on the image of God and that inward transformation by the Spirit of Christ…..

Colossians 3:10; “And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:”

Ephesians 4:23-24 “And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.”

And here in Romans 8:29 “For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.”

So when we are made a new man in Christ, does our outward visible image change, or is our invisible inward image renewed into the image of our God through faith in the gospel of Jesus Christ?

Of course it is our inward image (heart and mind) that is changed. But even still the gospel of Jesus Christ is still hid from most of the world who worship the Red Dragon and scarlet colored beast because of the covering spirit of the Devil has blinded them.

They worship the Red Dragon by serving sin.

2 Corinthians 4:4; “In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.”

So we know by scripture that God sent His only begotten Son into the world, in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, and He condemned sin in the flesh.

Jesus came to take away the sins of the world, destroy him who had the power of death (Hebrews 2:14), and also destroy our old man of sin image in us(Romans 6:6) by us putting to death the deeds of the flesh and being raised up a new man, made in the righteous image of Jesus Christ by the power of God.

But Jesus and the apostles also told us that there would come a falling away from the faith, and that old man of sin, and that first Adam nature would return in many and be embraced once again; and how the last state of that man would be worse than his first state; this is the mystery of iniquity.

And by the preaching of many false prophets and deceivers this false doctrine would be embraced by many religions in the world.

And this is what we see In Revelation 13:15 we read; “And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.

Sin is self-serving, and if you are serving self, then you are worshipping and serving the creature more than the Creator; as Paul said.

And of all the deaf, dumb, and blind idol images in the world, man worshipping himself is the only idol image that is alive and can speak.

We are told in Revelation 13:8 “And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.”

This is another way to prove what the mark of the beast is; in Exodus 32:33 The Lord said to Moses that whosoever sins against Me, him will I blot out of my book."

So again, it is sin that causes you to be blotted out of Gods book of Life.

And it is written in Revelation20:15 That whosoever was not found
written in the book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.

Again, all who live in ongoing sin worship the Devil, and only those who have passed from death to Life by being born again of God’s Spirit have their names written in Lambs the book of Life.

And so who is shown in scripture that persecutes and kills God’s children who are born of His Spirit?

Again, if you go back to the beginning we see this enmity between the children of the flesh vs. the children of the Spirit in Cain and Abel.

1 John 3:12 “Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.”

Paul confirms this hatred by the firstborn man, who is born of the flesh in the allegory of the 2 sons, Ishmael and Isaac when he said in Galatians 4:29 “But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.”

So basically those who are of sealed of God’s Spirit will overcome the world, and overcome that wicked one, overcome self, and overcome sin and death by the faith of Jesus Christ and by the power of God.

But like Jesus said, if the world hates you, know that it hated me first. So those who are of the world, and are of the spirit of the world, and who are firstborn of the flesh, will also hate the children of God who are born of His Spirit.


So did you find out the man’s name? I’ve heard it to be true of Nero Ceaser, who was living in the apostolic time period. If I did miss your post about that please redirect me. Thank you.

Like so many other scriptures, he is taking 1 Corinthians 3:2 out of context. The verse refers to Christians. Immature Christians that Paul called "babes in Christ", but Christians nonetheless. Yet, he is trying to use that verse to say that we are not Christians just as he claims we do not have the Spirit of God dwelling in us.

What is wrong with this guy? What causes someone to have this kind of holier than thou attitude while thinking that one's end times beliefs are a determining factor in salvation? It's insane. He has a very serious problem of being full of pride and he needs to repent of it.

It is what comes out of man’s heart that defiles a man. If you speak lies by spreading false doctrine then you are not of Gods Holy Spirit.

Is it not possible in your make believe world for someone to mistakenly believe in false doctrine without it being a case of someone knowingly teaching false doctrine? Only the latter qualifies as a lie, not the former. We amils are fully convinced that our doctrine is true. We are not purposely trying to change scripture or anything like that. We back up our view extensively with scripture. If we happened to be mistaken, how is that a lie? Do you even know what a lie is? It's when people PURPOSEFULLY and KNOWINGLY deny the truth and teach lies instead. That is not what is happening here.

lie (noun): an intentionally false statement.

Amils are not making intentionally false statements, we are giving our sincere understanding of scripture. So, you saying that we are speaking lies is a lie itself. I would never accuse you of lying by believing in premillennialism. That is what you think scripture teaches. You're not lying by believing in that, you're just mistaken.

From page #7
Now I would like to share with you what I believe the Lord has revealed to me by His Spirit concerning the name we are also to get victory over.


Notice in Revelation 15:2“And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.”

Keep in mind there is like an opposite reflection shown in the unholy triune as opposed to the Holy. Just as it is written the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is Eternal Life through Jesus Christ our Lord. As in Adam all die, but in Christ all are made alive.

And if we are given victory over sin by faith in Jesus Christ, we also are given victory over death. The word victory in the above was the clue that confirmed to me “the name”that we are to get victory over, which is “Death.”

It is written in Isaiah 25:8 “He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord God will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the Lord hath spoken it.”

We are shown Death and Destruction as personified in Job 28:22 “Destruction and death say, We have heard the fame thereof with our ears.” Strong's Number H11 Destruction matches the Hebrew אֲבַדּוֹן ('abaddown), Abaddon

And even Destruction is shown as having a name in Revelation 9:11 “And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.”

And Death is shown as having “a name”here in Revelation 6:8 “And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and “his name”that sat on him was “Death,” and Hell followed with him…..”

Jesus also mentions 2 names in Revelation 3:1 when he says " thou hast “a name”that thou livest, and art “dead."

Paul referred to our first corruptible bodies as the bodies of this death….Romans 7:24“O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?

And also our bodies as being dead because of sin in Romans 8:10

And that is what Jesus came to deliver us from, the bondage of sin and the captivity by which we were held by the power of death.

Hebrews 2:14 “Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;”

And Jesus was also to destroy the body of sin in us …

Romans 6:6“Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.”

It is written in Hosea 13:14 “I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction: repentance shall be hid from mine eyes.”

Paul said in 1 Corinthians 15:54-57 “So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this
mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Sin and death have been reigning in this world…..

Romans 5:17 “For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)

Romans 5:21 “That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.”

Romans 6:12 “Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.”

And in the beginning we see how the Old Serpent began the power of his reign (rule) over mankind.

Genesis 4:7 “If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.”

So all men are determined to die once…Hebrews 9:27 “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:”

But we who overcome by the faith of Jesus Christ will be given victory over Death, and will not taste of the second death being of the first resurrection as shown in Luke 20:36“Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.”

Confirmed here….

Revelation 2:11 “He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.”

Revelation 20:6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.”

Revelation 20:14 “And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.”

So you either have a name written in the book of Life that you are “Alive” forevermore in Christ and in righteousness, or you have a name that you are still dead in your sins.

And the last enemy to be destroyed is Death. 1 Corinthians 15:26 “The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death

I agree with the victory over death, spiritual death even. I’m just looking for the name of the man via located by 666 let the one who has wisdom find out the name of the man. Not just death, but if you are unable to share that with me it’s okay. I believe it was Nero, and I learned from a teacher in College.

It is what comes out of man’s heart that defiles a man. If you speak lies by spreading false doctrine then you are not of Gods Holy Spirit.

I must assume you're speaking of YOURSELF! Because you appear to be the one, perhaps unknowingly, speaking lies, spreading false doctrine. You've been repeatedly asked to prove what you allege, and so far instead of showing proof of your doctrine you choose to malign and accuse brothers/sisters in Christ, as though you have been given the ability to see man's heart.

In Genesis 1:24-31 the Lord brought forth from the earth both man and beast on the “sixth day.”


Hebrew letters have a numerical value, and in Hebrew gematria the sixth day has a numerical value of 666….. שִׁשִּׁי = sixth= 610 יוֹם= day=56 total= 666

The first man is of the earth.
The beast rises out of the earth

I don’t think that helps, but thank you anyway and you have a good day. Keep studying and may you be able to figure out an answer, it would have to correlate with them receiving the letter of revelation before the destruction of Israel.

Ah, another accuser of the brethren.
Well, it is not me who is rewriting the word of God to make it their own word, that is on you. Also all your deflecting and diverting, instead of just having a simple conversation, is the mark of all on this forum who are steeped in some deception.

The number 666 is not the number of a man, it's the number of mankind. The beast is not a man, it's a kingdom. Prophetic beasts are kingdoms (Daniel 7:23). The number 666 reflects that mankind falls short of God's standards. It's well known that the number 7 represents completeness and perfection which is why you see it used in relation to the things of God frequently in the book of Revelation.
