4 Beasts, 24 Elders Around the Throne of God: Standard Regiment

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


In Revelation, John describes four beasts around the Throne. They are full of eyes, have wings, and praise Lord God Almighty day and night. Also, round about the Throne are 24 elders who cast their crowns before Him who sits on the Throne. John is shown a sealed book in the right hand of the “I AM”; and weeps because, at first, he believes no one can unseal it. But then, the Lamb prevails and takes the book from His hand and is able to open it. Everyone about the Throne falls before the Lamb, because He was worthy to read and understand it. Praise God, because this means hope and salvation.

The four beasts represent the 12 Tribes of Israel, of which 10 are lost. This prophecy means they will be found, or realize who they are and RETURN. Understanding who the four beasts are is easy to interpret, if we examine the Encampment of the Tabernacle. It’s how Israel set up camp in the wilderness after Moses led them out of Egypt, as described in the beginning of the Book of Numbers, and in the Irish Book of Kells. John refers to the beasts as a lion, calf, face of a man and a flying eagle (Rev. 4:7). Now, let’s look at how the People Israel set up camp according to their Standards, their banners. The Tabernacle of God was always at the center of camp with the Tribes surrounding it on all four sides, as instructed by God, “Every man of the children of Israel shall pitch by his own “Standard”, with the “Ensign” (Colours) of their father’s house: far off about the Tabernacle of the Congregation shall they pitch” (Numbers 2:2).

On the east side of the Tabernacle, the armies of Judah set up in the center, with their tribal Standard (banner/flag) of a Lion. On the south side, the camp of Reuben set up with their Standard of a Man. On the west side, the armies of Ephraim set up camp with the Standard of an Ox. And on the north side, the camp of Dan set up with their Standard of an Eagle. Each of the four sides housed three tribes, with the Lion, Man, Ox, and Eagle as the Brigade leaders. Thus, these beasts that John saw were the Emblems of the armies of the Brigade Leaders on each side.

John goes on to say that the four beasts had six wings about them and were full of eyes. He is basically accounting for the tribes whose standards aren’t mentioned here. For example, the west side features Ephraim (Ox) as its Brigade Leader, centered between Benjamin (Wolf) and Manasseh (Unicorn). The three of them have two wings each, six total. The others in the encampment include the tribes of Gad (Camp) and Simon (City) on either side of the Reuben (Man); Issachar (Sun & Moon) and Zebulun (Ship) on either side of Judah (Lion); and Naphtali (Hind) and Asher (Olive Tree) on either side of Dan (Eagle). Accounting for all the People Israel in the Encampment, we can see where all the eyes come from; because every person has a pair. And hopefully, a pair of them will be yours, if you are able to open them and really see the Truth of what is happening in this world of good and evil; and you choose to draw Excalibur, the Sword of Truth, from the Stone, Christ, and fight the good fight by praising the “I AM”, obeying His Laws, and fulfilling His Will; because His Song is truly in your heart. If we can do this, then we surely will be able to move like the angels, even the elders with those “wings”, who represent the Bible prophets round about the Throne – 24 elders for the 12 tribes. The tribe of Levi didn’t have a Standard, as Ephraim and Manasseh would be their armies if they needed. These elders “cast their crowns” to the Throne, or simply put, they “bow their heads” to God in humility and submission.

Worth noting is that Ephraim and Manasseh, the two sons of Joseph’s tribe are the Englo and Anglo Saxons. Ephraim’s Wild-Ox Standard developed into a White Unicorn, which means One Kingdom United with Christ, who rides the White Horse of the Apocalypse. The Unicorn emblem belongs to both sons. It’s Manasseh’s Standard, and also featured on Ephraim’s British Coat-of-Arms. Of the 12 sons of Israel (as Jacob was renamed), Joseph was the only son who inherited his dad’s name “Israel”, which was passed on to these two sons. It was not passed to Judah. Because the tribe of Joseph is split between two sons, there are really 13 Tribes of Israel, with all indication that Manasseh is the 13th, as represented on Anglo-Saxon’s U.S. Heraldry, or Coat-of-Arms. Its Eagle derives from the tribe of Dan because it was the Danites who first discovered America and brought the brigade emblem with them, along with Joseph’s secondary emblems of an olive branch and arrows. America’s Eagle holds 13 olive branches, with 13 olives in one claw, and 13 arrows in the other. The olive branch represents Joseph’s Hebrew heritage and the “oil of understanding” and the arrows represent the bowmen (English), as the Saxons intermingled. Thirteen is a reoccurring number on the symbols, with 13 stripes on the flag, 13 founding states, and 13 stars and spheres of clouds on the U.S. presidential seal. They were the “Great” nations made with Isaac’s seed as God promised Abraham – Great Britain and America the Great. They are the Two Witnesses who are set to be brought down by their enemies, because they have turned their backs to God, the God of Israel, the “I AM”. And all of true Israel, the People Israel, is lost and scattered, and gone captive to the beast system.

Prophecy indicates that it won’t be Great Britain (Ephraim) or America (Manasseh) who first recognize the King. While prophecy foreshadows Ireland (Dan) and Gibraltar (Gad–Camp) crowning Christ as King, with Him enlarging Gib to include the Campo region, prophecy also indicates that Australia (Issachar) and New Zealand (Zebulun), essentially east Israel, will heed the call first and help draw the others, like the west (the west side of the encampment – Ephraim, Manasseh, and Benjamin). Maybe Australia and New Zealand become disavowed with the British Throne and its Commonwealth, Biblically referred to as the sun and moon, which will become dark and lose their power. The “House of Windsor” is not representative of the House of Israel or Judah; and should and will be judged accordingly for its arrogance, selfishness, and deceits. And one deceit is who true Israel is, the tribal nations around the world, not the fake state surrounding Jerusalem today, run by counterfeit Jews, not from the original House of Judah but who are 8th century AshkeNazi-Khazar converts, who use the Talmud, not the Torah (The Book). Christ said that they would call themselves Jews but would be the Synagogue of Satan, which is kind of appropriate because “synagogue” refers to a Jewish House.

Who knows what will be Australia’s turning point, or awakening. Maybe the tribe of Issachar will respect its resources and stop selling them off to the communists who are out to destroy it, using all these resources for world domination. The synagogue craftily bankrupts nations so that they sell their valuables; but the nations will find they have sold their souls to the little red devils, instead of halting and reversing the illusion of debt. Satan is the Great Destroyer and he is out to destroy true Israel, all the 12 tribes. Why is everyone underestimating him, or how monstrous and sinister his plans are? He’s got a pretty crafty group doing his evil bidding, but it’s NOT something they could have accomplished in one lifetime. It’s taken centuries of planning, and hundreds of years to finalize his plan. He has to inspire, indoctrinate, educate, reward and control the arrogant minions who do his dirty work, generation after generation. And it’s expensive, to fund councils, federations, organizations, parties, agents, officers, and such, while at the same time keeping the worldly princes (rulers) “happy”. It’s very time consuming, but we are all “doing time”. Unfortunately for the Tribes of Israel, his synagogue knows how to make money out of thin air. Would you call that sorcery or usury, or both? Both go against the laws of the Tabernacle, and are not part of the New Song.

Israelites were all given bountiful countries to grow their nations: self-sustaining lands with an abundance of resources. And they would remain so as a Blessing, but be cursed as a Punishment if they strayed away, and sold their birthright. It would seem all the Israelite nations of abundance are experiencing all kinds of curses at once. And instead of being abundant and taking care of their inheritance, they are being robbed blind. Some will say the Curses are brought on by HAARP, chemtrails, and vaccines, not God. Yes, some are brought on by enemies. They are still allowed as punishment, as in certain circumstances God brings in the enemy to punish. Sometimes, it’s just karma; like deforestation causing flooding, or pollution causing sickness. Most of the time, the Curses are warnings, but we don’t heed them. In truth, Israelites are allowing the few evil rulers to rule us; and their “evil plans” materialize because we ALLOW them to make the decisions. Those kinds of punishments wouldn’t even be there if we used the right Standard. How much has to happen? How much do we have to lose first? The Regiment is in array. The troops are marching to a different drum and under a different banner. Maybe Satan’s Standard should be a banner with a big red Flame, symbolizing “production” because it consumes the Earth. He’s convinced us that buying and selling “makes the world go ’round”, when all it does is fund destruction. He just burns up everything; and the true Israelites are discoing to the inferno, entertaining themselves on the dance floor, as someone else is slipping under the table snatching their purse. It’s a shame we have disc jockeys to tell us to “play and party hard” every Sabbath, which begins at sundown on Friday. Pretty sneaky programming and very well calculated from the entity that knows Israelites are commanded to keep the Sabbath holy, to rest and study the Word, the Laws. How are we going to know the words of His Song by heart, if we don’t study them? How is He going to “kill me (the ego-self) softly with His Song,” if I can’t hear the words and turn my face toward Him? He knows our whole lives – everything we are, think, do and say.

What say you Australia and New Zealand, because “Dan” is still buried and drunk in Ireland and Gibraltarians are still “Gadding” about in finance, gambling and insurance? Of course, it will all be in God’s timing that each tribe awakens to their true identity that was hidden partly by Him, as punishment. But it’s not really a secret if we examine Issachar’s and Zebulun’s Standards and Australia’s and New Zealand’s flags and coat-of-arms – that they are Israelites. First, Issachar’s Standard ensign is the Sun and Crescent Moon, and also features stars. The sun and moon Biblically represent the British Throne and the Commonwealth. But because Australia is only a portion of the Commonwealth, it represents only a crescent moon, not a full one, as well as a few stars. Note that the British Throne is Israel’s Throne, as Israel is the People of the Covenant and Brit-ish means “people of the covenant” in Hebrew. Second, Zebulun’s Standard is a Ship on the blue sea. This blue is the same color as the blue of the Union of Jac(k)ob’s flag. It is this blue sea that is featured on both the Australian and New Zealand’s national flags. The Union of Jacob’s flag, or Israel’s flag, has since replaced the symbols of the Sun and Moon. Each flag also features a Southern cross of stars. The Australian stars are seven-pointed, Biblically representing the 12 Tribes (six points with two sides each) as well as Christ (as the 7th and complete point). And within this star is the Star of David.

Examining the New Zealand Coat-of-Arms, a shield is featured under the British/Israel’s Crown with 12 stones for 12 tribes, “And the “I AM” their God shall save them in that day as the flock of His people: for they [shall be as] the stones of a crown, lifted up as an ensign upon His land” (Zach. 9:16). On the shield itself are the stars from Issachar’s Standard and Ships similar to the one on Zebulun’s Standard. Interestingly, a sheaf is featured, which is in reference to Joseph, as he dreamed of a Sheaf-field, where his brothers would bow down to him (Gen 37:1-11). Remember, it was Joseph who was sold by his brothers out of their anger about his dreams and their jealousy of their dad’s favoritism, shown by Jacob (renamed Israel) making Joseph a Coat of Many Colors. This coat was made from their tribal Standards (colours), and was an actual coat of many Colours: all 12 tribal Coats-of-Arms. It would foretell of Joseph representing them as one tribe in the future, when Christ would return. Worth noting is the fact that the Union of Jacob’s flag is God’s flag, thus is Christ’s flag. Its origin goes back to Jerusalem. It’s a symbol of the Aleph x and Tau +. It’s a mark, or ‘Tau a Tau”; and the only way to cross a cross is with a diagonal one.

As the world progresses into more prophetic events, each person is going to have to show his Colours, symbolically the banner that represents his tribe. Does he claim his Israelite heritage that was lost and hidden and march under the Ensign that Christ raises, or does he march under a banner featuring a “targeted-world” designed with fake symbols of peace, as featured on the U.N. Standard? Make no mistake, the UN is not an united under God nation. Under it’s guidance, True Israel has come UNdone, and a counterfeit one put in her place in 1948. Yes, Christ will raise His Ensign and gather the remnant of Jacob, of the People Israel, from the ends of the Earth, “And He shall set up an Ensign for the nations, and [Shiloh] shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the Earth. The envy also of Ephraim shall depart, and the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off: Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex Ephraim” (Isaiah 11:12-13). When he lifts up the ensign on the mountain, he will blow the trumpet (Isaiah 18:3). The “I AM” will lift up His Standard against His enemy and for His people (Isaiah 59:19 & 62:10).

Without Judgment, we cannot move forward; we’re stuck in Satan’s world; where he is clearly calling the shots; and where his synagogue elites are riding roughshod, creating all this injustice. We should seek and pray for Christ’s Judgment, because Judgment means true Justice. Judgment means we know the difference between right and wrong, good and evil, between being goats and being sheep, between what is wheat or chaff. The synagogue calls God’s People Israel “cattle” (goyim) and herds them with constraints, but they were meant to be strong oxen, pulling everyone to a one unified Kingdom under God and Christ. The synagogue calls God’s People Israel “sheeple”, but they were meant to be sheep, trusting one Shepherd. “For My people [are] foolish, they have not known Me; they [are] sottish children, and they have none understanding: they [are] wise to do evil, but to do good they have no Knowledge” (Jeremiah 4:22).

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of [his] government and peace [there shall be] no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with Judgment and with Justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the “I AM” Lord of hosts will perform this. The Lord sent a Word into Jacob, and it hath Lighted upon Israel” (Isaiah 9-6-8).

When will the 12 Tribes of Israel be ready to set up our Encampment again? When will we place the Tabernacle of God in the center of us? Maybe when the Tabernacle is set down again (or hovers), “And I John saw the Holy City, “New Jerusalem”, coming DOWN from God OUT OF HEAVEN, prepared as a Bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the Tabernacle of God [is] with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself shall be with them, [and be] their God” (Rev. 21:2-3).

      This post has to be the most deranged mind-rot interpretation of Biblical prophecies ever written. Of course it came from Zionist stooge Hannah Michaels.

      The ancient Hebrew tribes no longer exist. During the past 2,000 years they were assimilated. Right now, there is more actual ancient Biblical Hebrew blood flowing in the veins of Christians than there is in non-baptized people who claim to be Jews, but in fact are — for the most part — the ancestors of Turkic barbarian gentiles who converted to Judaism in the eighth century A.D.

      The covenant God made with Moses is defunct. It was replaced by the New Christian Covenant, just as all the ancient Hebrew prophets said it would be.

        Sorry dude but even us Pagans know JC said that he hadn’t come to change the covenant but to vomplete it. The law of he who cannot be named is forever and unchanging.

        If the ancient Hebrew tribes no longer exist, then where is God going to get the 144,000, and even better question is who will David rule over? and How can the 12 Apostles each rule over a Tribe of the whole House of Israel??? How can they inherit the promised land?

        It is obvious you have spent no time in the books of the Prophets

        If God that can not and will not change has walked away from His Chosen People, the very ones He raised up from one man, the people the whole Bible is about — then can we trust God will not walk away from us???

        Listen to God not so called christianity.

      It’s astronomical allegory. The lamb of god = The star constellation Aries. The 24 elders are the 12 star constellations. Each constellation has 2 aspects both good and bad = 24 in total.

      Aries, the lamb of god, rises on the dawn horizon with the sun. every year after the sun has ‘passed over’ the spring equinox. Commonly known as Easter.

      Revelation is partly a record of what took place in 70 CE. The Roman empire wiped Israel off the face of Earth. It is dated to exactly 70 CE, and describes exactly how it happened, using an uncountable number of sword wielding foot soldiers and heavy armoured horse cavalry, who didn’t leave one stone left standing upon another. They massacred every last man, women, child, suckling baby, their livestock, burned their crops and homes, and raised Jerusalem to the ground.

      It is also mixed with the pagan warrior cult of Mithra, with its final battle upon a final conflagration of the Universe as an allegory, because the Roman warriors would have been followers of Mithra.

      There are no lost tribes of a people who no longer exist… what sort of oxymoronic BS are you trying to pull?

      • oladyinashu

        I keep trying to figure you out pix. Ever learnng but unable to see the truth.(not neccesarily the article). I figured this much out…you hate jews. I just find it ironic that you read all these articles.

          I don’t hate anyone. I hate religions because they are liars. I hate what people do to other people for a pay check,.. brainwashing them into believing there is a narcissistic schizophrenic giant invisible fairy story character obsessed with you sex life. They know the truth of it, there isn’t a fist year theology student who is unaware of the pagan/fictional origins of their religions, but instead tell a load of lies to keep their power over people and the money rolling in.

        • Louis

          Pix is a British lesbian who hates Christianity and the Bible because they condemn lesbianism as a serious sin meriting eternal damnation. Any religion that does not condone Pix’s worship of girl-flesh is therefore no good. She sees religion as being “obsessed with your sex life.” (her exact words taken from her post on this page.) Pix’s obsession will be her destruction. Too bad, but that’s her choice. A moral life-style is the better way to live because that’s how God wants people to behave. Pix’s posts are rancid with absurdity and therefore are worthless.

        Anon-O-Mouse is a perverted very pale white-skinned male brit PEDOPHILE priest who is VERY ANGRY because his days of ‘snokering’ little kids up the rump IS OVER! The members of chris.scum.dumb are like the Borg on Star Trek. If you do not allow yourself and your family to be assimilated by these war-mongering monsters, they kill all of you and keep your stuff. They demonize you and call you ‘vampires’! All these truly demonic dangerous lunatics do is JUDGE OTHERS.

        My name is RAD, ENEMY OF MINE, and my SOLE GOAL IN THIS LIFE is to DESTROY YOUR ‘religion’.
        PERIOD. The members of chris.scum.dumb are like the Borg on Star Trek. If you do not allow yourself and your family to be assimilated by these war-mongering monsters, they kill all of you and keep your stuff. They demonize you and call you ‘vampires’! All these truly demonic dangerous lunatics do is JUDGE OTHERS.
        Period.
        No debate.
        No discussion.

        You demented, deluded MALE LUNATIC ‘religious’ believing ones just cannot control all PERVERTED elements of your ‘faith’. You admit this as such. So, this is what the rest of us will do, to you. Their own history proudly documents each of their violent actions as a group for the last 1,600 years.
        Strong ACTION needs to be taken against members of chris.scum.dumb, as a group.

        All ‘Religion’, especially ‘christianity’ must be declared a “Mental Illness” that cannot be cured.

        christianity will be declared a “Race-Base Intolerant, and Violent religion’ , since they worship a dead, white-skinned man all tortured and hanging from a cross AND FORCE ALL OTHERS TO DO SO! True Terrorists! WORSE THAN COMMUNISTS!

        But, those afflicted with this ‘mental disease’ called religion, can be identified and isolated from the ‘sane’ population.

        All lunatic christians need to have their licensed fire arms taken away.

        No more 501 (3) (c) tax exempt status for Private ‘religious clubs’! You will pay tax at EVERY LEVEL, and generate for your country about $71 billion dollars per year in NEW tax revenue.

        These so called holy books OF MALE LUNATIC BABBLE need to be banned, world-wide!

        Harsh penalties MUST be dealt out to anyone who exposes children to these demon-inspired and ‘coded’ ‘holy books’!

        “I had a dream last night that came straight from god”, and there were tens of thousands of ‘bonfires’ of celebration all over America”!
        “They were formally called “churches, synagogs, and mosques” and got tax-free status, while the people starved and were homeless, sleeping on the street, all around the EMPTY structures owned by truly heartless, blind, deluded, evil and MALE inhuman people.”
        “In the end, the EMPTY,, underused structures served a good purpose.”
        “They were the FUEL for the bonfire!”
        And, that was the end of my dream, given to me by god, you believing FOOLS!
        THANKS BE TO god.

          The only “brimstone” you are going to experience, anon-O-mouse, major defender of the white-skinned male god fable, and self admitted member of chris.SCUM.DUMB, is the fire when we burn your demonic god churches down WITH YOU IN IT!

          And, the doors and windows chained!
          Oh, the “gnashing of teeth! The cries and screams for your demonic god to “Save You”!

        If my posts are so “rancid with absurdity and therefore are worthless.” How come you can’t answer or counter a single one of my points?

        The fact you only vomit puerile insults at me, proves I’m right. You have no evidence to back up your religious claims because it’s BS, so you are forced to resort to attacking the person instead of addressing their comment.

        FYI. I live in Britain, but I’m not British. I’m a long time married guy (35 years to the same goddess) with grandkids, not a lesbian. If you are going to take the time to insult someone, at least have the decency to get your facts straight. :lol:

      PIX has lots of problems and is most likely posting from a mental institution

      • Pix

        At least I don’t have to resort to attacking the person instead of their comment. Are you so immature and stupid you can’t tell the difference? You can’t think of a counter argument, so resort to ridiculous personal abuse, which has idiot written all over it.

        Makes me think you have a mental age of 5, and you are talking about yourself. A common fault to transfer your own mental condition onto others… Hmm. wonders if you are also a lesbian you like to accuse others of it as if it were some sort of criminal offence.

      The four beasts are: Christianity, the Catholic Church, Islam and Judaism. All of them acting like they know God, but their eyes are everywhere other than on God. The wings they have indicate they may have come from God, but they cannot fly, they are beasts because they have stripped Him of saints by misleading the 24 elders, who now are without their saintly crowns. They (the beasts) praise God night and day, but they do not serve Him. The 24 elders are the first part, the middle part and the end part of a time period wherein all the saintliness on earth shall be stripped, and evil will show its face, through these things: corruption, religion, misogyny, enslavement, poverty, child abuse, dictatorship, racism, drug abuse, black magic practices, atheism, war and civil disobedience and disrespect for life.

      I believe that Christians think they know what the Bible teaches, but there are so many variances from one denomination to the next, they are fools. Catholics are not Christians but Paulians. Jews recite and shun, they find themselves defiled when in contact with Gentiles, money seems to be their true god. Islam has not got the word “love”, anywhere in the Quran, unless it is used in this context “surely Allah loves the righteous”. But it does not teach Muslims to love.

        That’s an excellent reply.

    • am123

      Regarding the 4 beasts/living creatures who cease not from proclaiming “holy holy holy” and the 24 elders, here is a very interesting and enlightening commentary on the subject by Sir Isaac Newton, who said the following:

      “For the Trumpets every day sounded thrice: first at the opening of the gates of the Temple, then at the morning, and lastly at the evening sacrifice.

      And the four Beasts had each of them six wings about him & they were full of eyes within & they rest not day & night saying Holy, holy, holy Lord God almighty which was & is & is to come. Whence I gather these Beasts are the same with the Seraphins which appeared to Isaiah[15] in a vision like this of the Apocalyps. For there also the Lord sate on a throne in the Temple & the Seraphins each with six wings cryed holy, holy, holy Lord of hosts. So then they are noble enough to represent the four quarters of the Church. They have each of them six wings, that is in all four & twenty And these are the four & twenty stations of the people of Israel answering the four and twenty courses of the Priests. For f[16] because the morning & evening sacrifices were offered for all the people & they whose sacrifices were offered were obliged to be present in the temple, the people had their representatives distinguished into four & twenty stations or courses to attend each their week in order & each station had its President calld the President of the station. Further to signify that these Beasts have internall intellectual eyes tis said that they have eyes within, that is in their bodies under their wings. / And they rest not day & night [that is morning & evening at the sacrifices,] saying Holy, holy, holy Lord God almighty. And when they give glory to him that sitteth upon the throne the four & twenty elders fall down & worship him. At the morning & evening sacrifices so soon as the sacrifice was laid upon the Altar, & the drink offering began to be poured out the trumpets sounded & the Levites sang by courses three times, & every time the trumpets sounded the a[17] people fell down & worshiped. Three times therefore did the people worship; to express which number the Beasts cry holy, holy, holy; & the song being ended the people prayed standing till the solemnity was ended. In the meane time the [18] Priests went into the Temple & there fell down before him that sat on the Throne & worshipped.”

          Do you realize Newton spent more time on prophecy and the Bible than anything else?

      Great Britain and America are not the 2 witnesses. They are 2 beings.

      The twenty four elders are not Angelic beings since they were golden crowns Angels are not offered golden crowns but we are. The twenty four elders represent the mature rulership of The church of God with Jesus Christ meaning all members of the true church of God. For shore I can tell you that we might also become new elders as elders more than 24 wearing golden crowns in are heads. I believe that the 24 elders are the prophets and the apostles who died and went to heaven.
