And they journeyed from
And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. 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. And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. Revelation 20:4-9
He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to
the churches. He who overcomes will not come under the power of the second
death. Revelation 2:11 Bible in
Basic English
And now, Christ hath risen out of the dead--the first-fruits
of those sleeping he became, for since through man is the death, also through
man is a rising again of the dead, for even as in Adam all die, so also in the
Christ all shall be made alive, and each in his proper order, a first-fruit
Christ, afterwards those who are the Christ's, in his presence, then--the end,
when he may deliver up the reign to God, even the Father, when he may have made
useless all rule, and all authority and power-- for it behoveth him to reign
till he may have put all the enemies under his feet-- the last enemy is done
away--death; for all things He did put under his feet, and, when one may say
that all things have been subjected, it is evident that He is excepted who did
subject the all things to him, and when the all things may be subjected to him,
then the Son also himself shall be subject to Him, who did subject to him the
all things, that God may be the all in all. 1 Corinthians 15:20-28 Young’s

( End Vision )
“I saw all mankind, all humanity from every period in
history and from every nation, those alive and those long extinct in the lake
that burns with fire ( upward force of heat and light ) and
brimstone ( Divine
Holiness ). No member of lost and unredeemed humanity was outside of
this lake. Those that believed in Jesus and those who were overcoming had already
known the force of the flames and the brimstone within by the baptism of fire.
The lake was not the wrath of God, but was the process of the second death
which removed the first death off of humanity. The lake answered the wrath of
God by ending death. I saw entire nations as well as individuals in the flames
with large black spots of iniquity being burned off of them, the blackened
burned portions spiraling upwards as spiffs of smoke being removed off of each
one. As humanity went through the flames of fire in the second death they would
each in turn emerge from the lake on the shoreline in front of the Gate of
Benjamin. Standing within the arches of the Gate was The Lord Jesus Christ,
even He who shed His precious blood upon

The Gate of Benjamin: Son of the Father’s Right Hand.
The
Apostle Paul had two main doctrines which empowered his entire ministry as the
Apostle to the Gentiles. The doctrine was first and foremost the revelation of
The Lord Jesus Christ as He alone was exalted to the right hand of God with a
name which was above every name. “Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” Philippians 2:6-11
The second doctrine The Apostle
Paul held was the intense love and preciousness The Lord Jesus Christ had
towards His church, the congregation of those who believe. At no time in
anything Paul wrote which is the basis of the Epistles did He ever speak of God
being upset or angry with mankind. He did write of God being angry against the
bondages of flesh and the carnal mind, but not of men themselves. This was in
agreement with all the prophecies of the Old Testament prophets who as true
prophets of the Lord prophesied of the restitution of all creation. “Repent ye
therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times
of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; And he shall send Jesus
Christ, which before was preached unto you: Whom
the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God
hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.
For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise
up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things
whatsoever he shall say unto you. And it shall come to pass, that every soul,
which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.
Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as
have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days. Ye are the children of the
prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto
Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed. Unto
you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in
turning away every one of you from his iniquities.” Acts 3:19-26 King James Version (underline/italics
mine)
However, God has not chosen this
world we are presently in to display all His salvation to all mankind in this
present age. This age was chosen by God to take out of all nations those whom
are named “Overcomers”. Those who will be a people who bear His Holy Name.
These in this life are processed, tried, perfected and made Holy.
When I view the Gate of
Benjamin, I see a people in that Gate who have taken fully Father’s name unto
themselves. A royal people, Holy in perfection who have no death working in
them. That is yet to be seen in this world for each Overcomer I know is
presently enduring SECOND DEATH. The Gate of Benjamin brings Sons to God. They
who enter The New Jerusalem through this Gate will be sons of full stature,
fully matured with no taint of the former life in them. For the will of God is
sure, which will cannot be refuted. And that is that all who died in Adam ( the
1st death ) would each in turn take part in the second death. It is
the will of God for you dear reader of these writings, you who are overcoming
day by day your daily trials, to go through THE SECOND DEATH. God is most
earnest that you endure the processings of your life and that you partake of
this SECOND DEATH so that you may be found with NO taint of the fall, NO taint
of personal iniquity, NO taint of your former life. For the SECOND DEATH is a
death no one is exempt from. No one can bypass it just as they cannot bypass
being born in Adam, so they cannot bypass death to Adam to come alive again in
Christ. For the SECOND DEATH dear Overcomer IS THE DEATH OF YOUR PERSONAL
DEATH.
*That
which is slated to die in you, DIES.
*Every
single thing in you that is not of God or of the born again nature, DIES.
*Every
single bad doctrine based in new age philosophy and deception, DIES.
*Every
aspect of self works or religious effort, DIES.
*Every
place where your life is in this world as a life lived in present time, DIES.
*All
in you that is contrary to the true nature of Jesus in you, DIES.
There is nothing in you that is
born in this present world that will survive THE SECOND DEATH. And they that
overcome WILL NOT BE HURT OF IT. Those who are hurt of the second death are
those who loved this present world. The degree of hurt will be the degree of
your love of this dead creation. But if you lay all your life down at your
Savior’s feet and if you abandon your life completely as useless in this world,
YOU WILL SUFFER NO HARM.
Hear me Overcomer. God’s will
for you today IS TO DIE. Die the SECOND DEATH. Die to THIS WORLD and this world
becomes dead to you. The will of God for you to be granted the title as one who
overcame is that you endure DEATH IN ALL ASPECTS OF LIFE. For the life of this
present world IS DEAD. It is a life found in the fall of Adam, in the life of
Adam, in the life of carnality – THAT DEAR OVERCOMER IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE TO
OVERCOME. The Gate of Benjamin is the Gate one enters when the second death is
finished. When there is nothing left in you to die! When all that is death in
you is DEAD. Your entire gamut of trials and testings in this world IS TO MAKE
YOU DIE. For it is the will of God to
remove from you ALL ASPECTS OF THE LIFE OF THIS WORLD WHICH IS DEATH ITSELF AND
IS THE SPIRIT OF DEATH. To love and live in this world is to love and live in
that which is under a curse and is DEAD. Why love that which is dead, when that
which is dead must be removed from you by the spirit of burning? God will not
spare this death from you, but will bring it on to you in greater and greater
measures prior to the appearing of Christ in you. When Christ appears, DEATH
WILL BE NO MORE.
No one who is born in Adam is
exempt from the second death. No one who is called out of the races of mankind,
out of every nation and every period in history, who God calls as Overcomers,
are exempt from second death. The only ones hurt by the second death are all
those who loved this world! The Overcomer in this world learns day by day TO
HATE THIS WORLD AND THEIR LIFE IN IT. They learn to deny themselves, take up
their crosses AND DIE TO THIS PRESENT EVIL WORLD. Get this straight dear
reader. EVERYBODY WILL TAKE PART IN THE SECOND DEATH. But they that overcome
will not be harmed by it. For they have already despised their life in this
world and have no love for the world or the systems of the world. They have died
to it even while they live in bodies of flesh and blood, they know that their
life is of another order and to that order they do come.
To the Gate of Benjamin arrives
they that overcome. Each one who endures now the tribulations of the hour come
to learn in truth of the power of their risen Lord. For Jesus, standing in this
Gate, stands alone as Savior of the world. Then each Overcomer who comes to
Jesus in this Gate in turn becomes “saviors” who judge the rest of mankind and
delivers them also to the processings found only in the second death.
“For as ye have drunk upon my holy mountain, so shall all
the nations drink continually; yea, they shall drink, and swallow down, and
shall be as though they had not been. But in
In this Ladeocean day when many
are lukewarm and comforted in their status in life the Overcomer will arise in
witness against them. The testimony and the walk of they that first taste the
second death becomes an offence to they who abide in love with this world and
with the fallen creation within it. The Overcomer becomes a stench to those who
are not overcoming because of the smell of death. The Overcomer bears about in
them the dying of The Lord Jesus Christ that the life of Christ might also
abide in them.
“But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the
exceeding greatness of the power may be of God, and not from ourselves; we are
pressed on every side, yet not straitened; perplexed, yet not unto despair;
pursued, yet not forsaken; smitten down, yet not destroyed; always bearing
about in the body the dying of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be
manifested in our body. For we who live are always delivered unto death for
Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh.
So then death worketh in us, but life in you.” 2
Corinthians 4:7-12 American Standard Version
Right now, in this very time in
which we live, God is drawing a very clear and solid line. There is a distinct
difference being made before all the Angels of Glory and all the elements of
fallen creation as to who are they that overcome and they who do not. Those
that overcome are bearing more than their share of trials about in their mortal
bodies, suffering not just the pressure of death to this world, but the baptism
of fire by the Holy Ghost which is also upon them. Christ has poured out upon
them the power of Pentecost to consume their dross that they might come into
the liberty of Tabernacles. But they that Overcome will also take part in all
that is beyond Tabernacles, for they are being prepared as a straightened
highway for the Lord to come and appear in and for them to be manifested IN
THIS DEAD WORLD as those who are alive, resurrected in the first resurrection
from the dead. For the end of your second death process dear Overcomer will be
RESURRECTION. In this you will be fully identified with the living Christ.
Jesus is about to come. His
appearing is right in front of us. And in that appearing your death process
will be ended and you will come into the life of the ages. You will come into
your glorified body and this body will walk upon THIS earth. The nations will see
you in your body and they will repent because the proof of Christ will be in
body form right in front of their eyes. Each one will then enter the process of
second death and will learn through the millennial reign of Christ those things
which will set them free. The Overcomer however will have all this behind them,
they will no longer know anything outside of the full measure of God and of His
power.
This then is the end of the 12
Gates.
And I looked downwards ( not
upwards ) and I beheld the foundations of The New Jerusalem, and to each
foundation, an Apostle…….
