The sand clock in Orion is a gracious revelation of God, and we found its blueprint in the throne room vision of Revelation 4. Is it possible that the Clock of God also gives us an indication of the number of dimensions that the true universe of its Creator has? Is it something like a portal, from here to there?

God’s Leaders

I introduced you to the tesseract and 6D hypercubes for a reason. I wanted you to see that they are constructed from many points, lines, faces, and cubes that increase in number the higher we go in terms of dimensions.

There are tables that show the number of occurrences of geometric primitives in the higher-dimensional hypercubes. In terms of the table, we now live in the third dimension, that of the cube.

Now we should take a closer look at the Orion clock and see if we can detect those shapes there, and how many there are.

Let’s start with the edges or lines, as these are the easiest to find. There are 24 hour-marks located around the center of the clock, and each hour is linked to the next one. That makes 24 lines. Additionally, there are eight more lines from the center: the four clock hands of the outer stars and the four clock hands of the throne lines. That makes a total of 32 lines.

Look at the table above! The 32 edges could be an indication that God wants to illustrate a tesseract in the Orion clock.

Can we find 24 faces, then? It’s simple: divide the 24-hour dial into 24 equal segments as if slicing a cake, by connecting one hour at a time to the center (Alnitak).

The 16 vertices are a little harder to discover, but we have the biblical basis for it. In the clock we see the four outer stars of Orion, which we know symbolize the four living beings, each with four faces; however, they only turn so that one face is seen at a time. On a universal scale, of course, a star is something like a point, or vertex. In that way, the four faces per outer star make 16 vertices.

To find the eight cells, we must understand that the Orion constellation itself is not flat, naturally, but has a depth that is imperceptible to us because we are so far away; each star is at a different distance from the earth. That is explained in detail in At the Hand of Jesus. If we include our observation point from the earth, then the eight lines that emanate from the center of the clock actually cut out eight cells. (The following picture illustrates two of the eight space-dividing planes, depicted three dimensionally—one through Betelgeuse and one through Saiph.)

Here again is a very simple depiction of all 8 cells:

We were in fact able to find in the Orion clock all of the elemental shapes that define a tesseract. It is actually the representation of a four-dimensional clock. It would not surprise a scientist that a clock stands for the fourth dimension, but we already know that time is actually the seventh dimension, which is expressed in the Orion clock by the seven stars of the constellation itself. So God leads us to understand the clock as a true four-dimensional space-portal into a world of an even higher dimension. In Orion, He represents four spatial dimensions, plus an additional temporal dimension through its characteristic as a clock.

As Ellen G. White said, the Holy City comes down from the open space in Orion, which we have long identified as the Orion Nebula, and which in turn must be something like the lens of a projector, or the lens behind which the true universe of God is located.

Does the arrangement of the stars in the constellation also indicate the dimensionality of the underlying universe?

Many people, especially in the early days of the Orion message, kept asking what would happen if we were to draw the clock hands using one of the other two belt stars, instead of Alnitak. Of course I replied that nonsensical times would result, because I had already checked it.

Now, on the present topic where it comes to the dimensions of God’s universe, I take up that idea again—not to construct two more clocks, but to investigate whether we can obtain from the Orion constellation a confirmation for the six dimensions of the true universe of God.

As explained earlier, you get to the next higher dimension by doubling the vertices and drawing connecting lines between the old and new vertices. Each vertex of a 6D hypercube has 6 lines to other vertices—that is its connection number. In the table above, you can see 64 for the number of vertices and 192 for the edges. There are always two points connected by an edge. That makes 192 ÷ (64 ÷ 2) = 6 edges per vertex. That is the identifying number for a 6D hypercube. Please look at this other kind of two-dimensional projection of a 6D hypercube, which is unfortunately not lossless either...

Although this illustration looks nice and clear, the draftsmen have come up with two simplifications that are not immediately apparent, which could easily confuse us: the orange dots are actually two dots each—one on top of the other—and the yellow center dot is actually four dots. All in all, you get the 64 points for a 6D hypercube from the table. Isn’t it interesting that mathematicians make simplifications in the projection that are exactly the same as the arrangement of the beings shown to John in the throne room vision? There, we hear about the four living beings in the center (the simplified yellow dot) and 24 elders around them (simplified as twelve orange dots). It’s as if God wants to point out the vertices in a 6D hypercube that are hidden in the orthogonal projection.

If you examine the outer two “rings” with twelve red dots each, you see that there are six lines branching from each point: that is an important feature of a 6D hypercube. And in the throne-room text, we find that each of the four beasts has six wings,^[1] which turn out to be the connecting edges of the orthogonal projection of a 6D hypercube.

Let’s think a little deeper. In Orion, we have four outer stars as points, plus Alnitak, Alnilam and Mintaka as three points in the center. So far, we drew four connecting lines from Alnitak to the pointer stars. If we also connect Alnilam and Mintaka with the outer stars, then there are already three lines out of every outer star instead of just one. If we also connect the outer stars with each other, we get another three links for a total of six at each of the outer stars. Now all we have to do is draw links from Mintaka to Alnitak and Alnilam, and from Alnitak to Alnilam, and then each “point” is directly connected to the other six.

A group of seven people (points), as we are here on the White Cloud Farm in Paraguay (counting only the adults), affords the simplest orthographic projection in which each person has six connections or communication paths to different people, like the vertices of the 6D hypercube. This is obviously a basic framework for Ezekiel’s wheels to work optimally in, and as I firmly believe, we have discovered not only a picture of the six-dimensionality of God’s creation, but also a crucial hierarchy for the chain of command that applies to the entire Kingdom of God. Especially interesting is the arrangement of the points in groups of twelve in the star-like diagram of the 6D hypercube above. It is strongly reminiscent of the twelve constellations of the Mazzaroth and the dodecagon that this study began with. From this, it seems that we can now derive a connection from the 6D hypercube to the throne room vision, and thus to the internal hierarchy of the Holy City.

We already know of two groups of 12 from the throne room vision: the 24 elders. For a long time, it was a mystery who they should be, but in 2010, humanity learned that they represent the 24 hours of a heavenly day. The Orion clock now reveals another interesting fact, namely that in front of the Orion Nebula lens on our side is a tesseract or 4D space, and that behind the Orion Nebula lies a 6D universe. In the table above, we look at the number of shapes in the tesseract row to see if we find the number 24 there somewhere... Yes, in the Face column! In Orion as a tesseract, each clock segment stands for one hour, namely one of the “elders” from the throne room vision.

If you translate this number of “elders” to the sixth dimension, you have to read the value of the tesseract (4-face) in the row for the sixth dimension, because for every higher dimension we need to move not just one row down but also one column over. There we find the number 60. What John was shown as 24 “elders” in the throne room, and what we understood as the 24 hours of a day, undergoes an interesting duplication in God’s true sixth dimension of creation: the 24 hours of a day become the 60 minutes of an hour. The hour hands become minute hands, indicating the significantly different time scale between God’s universe and the bottomless pit of our world. One hour in heaven became seven earthly years in the Orion clock. It is an indication that God’s throne must be in a very massive region, because that causes a slowdown of time according to the famous physicist Albert Einstein. The space around a black hole would be such a region. Does that mean the “black hole” we live in has only a little mass compared to “heaven”? That would be perfectly explained by the fact that almost everything we perceive as “the universe” is really just a projection, whereas these bodies have an actual existence in the true universe of God, and are populated with living beings who must be protected.

God has His angelic hosts for that. Do you have any idea how many army commanders of the Kingdom of Heaven will be made up of the redeemed? In the Orion clock, we see three stars representing God’s three Persons, and around them as clock hands, four angels who represent 16 real people who were or will be taken to the Kingdom of Heaven at some point. Please do not confuse the 24 “elders” with the redeemed, because in actuality there are no stars (points) at their positions, but only an imaginary dial. We need to look in the Vertex column if we want to know how many formerly human leaders will exist in God’s Holy City as a whole. The answer is 64.

The Revelation, through the Holy City, already reveals the identity of 24 of them. On its gates are the names of the twelve sons of Jacob, and on its foundations are the names of the twelve apostles. The latter were the first people Jesus personally won on the earth. I am convinced that the names of the twelve apostles come from the list in Acts 1:13, because that is where the election of Matthias is, as a replacement for the deceased Judas.

So there are three yet-unknown groups of twelve special people left, and four more “points.” If we look into the time of the judgment, we think of the Advent pioneers, who were also associated with the number 12 in the writings of Ellen G. White. By the year 1888, unfortunately, there were no twelve to be found who accepted the light of the fourth angel. For that reason, the leaders of the Adventist Church of 1890 have no special position with God, if they are even saved.

I received a command from Jesus in 2010: “Find the twelve!” I think we have finally found them. These are the people in our forum whom we have appointed as candidates for the present-day apostles, and who through sacrificial work in God’s last effort before the return of His Son, have proven themselves to be courageous and steadfast under the most severe conditions.

That leaves one last unknown group of sixteen people left. The blueprint for their discovery lies in the four living beings around the throne, which John was permitted to see. John saw only one throne, but we know from Orion that there are in truth three thrones. So in the kingdom of heaven, there must be four people who stand around each individual throne. After Jesus’ sojourn on earth, God preached the gospel through people—four of whom were chosen to record His counsel and messages in the New Testament for posterity.

Thus we come for the first time to the four evangelists, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. On closer inspection, however, two of them already have a place in the circle of the twelve apostles: Matthew and John. But where is Paul, who created an intensive literary work with his letters, which are often seen as an important basis for Christian teaching? Surely he would take his place with Mark and Luke around the throne of the Son, since his ministry was in the early days of Christianity. For the fourth place we can only guess. Personally, I believe that the beloved disciple and apostle John will be taken from the 12 and brought even closer to Jesus’ heart, and that somebody will take his vacant place. We often overlook the fact that some women also played a major role at the beginning of Christianity, and are certainly good candidates to be honored by God. I notice, for example, Mary Magdalene or Jesus’ mother.

Let’s come to the throne of the Holy Spirit, which will be surrounded by four people from the time of the beginning of the judgment. Someone who authored 64 books about Jesus and wrote “for the church” for over 70 years of her life would certainly be in the closest circle of the Agent of the latter rain and the Sabbath message. I also think of others, such as Uriah Smith, John N. Loughborough, or perhaps even M.L. Andreasen. There was a lot of written work in the time of the Adventist church. God will decide in His wisdom.

The four positions around the throne of the One who is the origin of all time, and who let His Son know that He alone knows the time, has since 2010 chosen four people to reveal His mysteries before the terrible day comes. It would be easy to think that the four male authors of the websites go in these special places, but we have been informed by God that it will be similar to the circle of the apostles, and that women will also come to great honor. We have already learned that my wife Linda will take one of these positions of honor, provided that she—as we hope of us all—remains faithful.^[2] Without her, it would have been impossible for me to accomplish the great and difficult work, and together with me, she will have a special job on the New Earth.^[3] Here, too, God can decide the rest of the distribution.

There are still four special positions left for selected former humans to complete the number 64. So far, the heroes of faith and authors of the Old Testament have not been honored. I immediately think of three people from these pre-Christian times who are already in heaven: Enoch, Moses and Elijah. Perhaps even Abraham could be included, being one of the progenitors. Consider that some people were brought into the Kingdom of Heaven as firstfruits when Jesus rose. There are 16 (and not 24!) who will reign there. Time will tell who they all are.

The construction plan of the Holy City reveals this heavenly leadership structure again:

Each of the four pillars of the Holy City, along with the square of its base, has 16 specially-chosen former leaders each. Sixty-four victors over sin in Christ-Alnitak ensure that God’s plan of salvation will be made known by the 144,000, also victorious, on their journeys with God throughout the universe and never forgotten.

Anyone who passes the trials of this earth—and as a redeemed man, he will even become a little higher than the seraphim with six wings^[4]—can visit the entire creation of God in the 4D universe. But if you study this testimony to the very end, you may be among the 144,000 of Philadelphia, and you will soon find out how far the 144,000 will really stand from the throne of God. Whoever is that close to this special throne is considered by God to be a chosen temple servant, who is with Him, and may travel together with Jesus, the Father, and the Holy Spirit when They visit other worlds. It is clear that all angels are allowed to travel, but only the 144,000 are the priests of God who never leave the temple and remain close to Him forever—and He with them.

The closest group of ex-humans, with one of their wings pointing straight to the throne of Time, can also be considered “cogwheels” in the clock of God, and if the seventh-dimensional spirit of God so desires, He can send these “seraphim” time-traveling. At least four people from our movement are candidates for such special divine missions that include traveling in time.

But every reader is a possible candidate for God’s priesthood and for traveling to infinity with Jesus, though only if he does not let go of the hand of God in the upcoming trials and accepts this study.

I begged of my attending angel to let me remain in that place. I could not bear the thought of coming back to this dark world again. Then the angel said, “You must go back, and if you are faithful, you, with the 144,000, shall have the privilege of visiting all the worlds and viewing the handiwork of God.” {EW 39.3}

Traveling with Jesus is reserved only for the citizens of Philadelphia—the 144,000.

Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out... (Revelation 3:12)

The Pillar of Time

In the previous chapter, you could see how 16 people will surround the throne of God and protect Him as shielding cherubim or seraphim. Thus, almost all of the four faces of the four living creatures were assigned names of actual, existing persons. The throne itself—based on our previous study results—is in the throne room at the flattened top of the pyramidal City, which will be first to touch down on the New Earth. This is how the tabernacle of God will be with men:

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. (Revelation 21:3)

We can easily imagine that many people can gather for worship in this 4.4 km wide and long top of the pyramid, and certainly 144,000 temple servants will also be needed to conduct everyone to their place and maintain order in the throne room.

Ellen G. White had a very interesting dream in which she beheld this throne room from the perspective of the attendees. Her description contains a detail that is not found in John’s account:

I dreamed of seeing a temple to which many people were flocking. Only those who took refuge in that temple would be saved when time should close. All who remained outside would be forever lost. The multitudes without, who were going their various ways, were deriding and ridiculing those who were entering the temple, and told them that this plan of safety was a cunning deception, that, in fact, there was no danger whatever to avoid. They even laid hold of some to prevent them from hastening within the walls.

Fearing to be laughed at and ridiculed, I thought best to wait until the multitude were dispersed, or until I could enter unobserved by them. But the numbers increased instead of diminishing, and fearful of being too late, I hastily left my home and pressed through the crowd. In my anxiety to reach the temple I did not notice or care for the throng that surrounded me. On entering the building, I saw that the vast temple was supported by one immense pillar, and to this was tied a Lamb all mangled and bleeding. We who were present seemed to know that this Lamb had been torn and bruised on our account. All who entered the temple must come before it and confess their sins.

Just before the Lamb were elevated seats upon which sat a company of people looking very happy. The light of heaven seemed to shine upon their faces, and they praised God and sang songs of glad thanksgiving that seemed to be like the music of angels. These were they who had come before the Lamb, confessed their sins, been pardoned, and were now waiting in glad expectation of some joyful event. {EW 78.3-79.1}

She evidently saw God’s throne room, because in the pyramid we find exactly one huge supporting pillar formed by the height-leg of the four supporting triangles. It is of course square, 144 royal cubits per side (the thickness of the wall) and has a height of 10,392.3 furlongs minus the amount of the flattening of the pyramid for the throne room. In this figure, which is meaningless at first glance, there is a divine mystery that we only discovered on Sabbath, January 27, 2018. I had been searching a long time for a basic harmony and teaching in the four right triangles that God had cut out of the dodecagon of the Mazzaroth with the order of the tribes in Revelation 7.

But the first thing everyone should notice is the line of symmetry that can be drawn between the tribes of Judah and Joseph, by including the midpoint of the dodecagon as another point on the line.

This symmetry, constructed by God, wonderfully confirms the work of this last generation, the High Sabbath Adventists, under the guidance of a man from the tribe of Joseph. So this work complements the work of Jesus, as we have been teaching for a long time. But now, with the blueprint of the Holy City itself, the Lord shows us that this teaching is a great and important truth, and that the kingdom of God would have no internal symmetry if the work of men had not been accomplished through their following Jesus. A faith without works would be dead, and so would be a divine plan of redemption without people redeemed by Him!

Only when the image of the sacrificing Lord Jesus Christ is reflected in people—people who are ready to give their eternal lives for others—has the plan of salvation come to fruition and the Golden City of God can be filled with all the redeemed of all ages. These special people of the last generation become the pillars of the temple of God—the four inner triangles of the city, firmly anchored on the four base squares. Ellen G. White sees the bleeding Lamb tied to the inner supporting pillar of the temple because it is formed by all four triangles. Never will the redeemed forget the price of salvation!

Let’s come back to the height of the “immense pillar.” We can easily recognize the pyramid’s outer dimensions of 12,000 furlongs as a symbolic number—as the covenant (12) that saved many (1000), among other things—but we have greater difficulty with Holy City’s inner height (h = 10,392.3 furlongs). Even if we start to subtract the height of the flattened tip, which is not difficult, we do not come up with a nice round number that would allude to any discernible lesson for us.

However, if a person continues to research, he should (quickly) see that all four right triangles are very special right triangles that play a major role in geometry. You have seen that these triangles have one leg (x) of 6000 furlongs, which is half of the 12,000-furlong length and width of the city. The slant height (h_a) should again be equal to the length and width of the city, thus 12,000 furlongs, and that is indeed 2x.

That is exactly how all the divine right triangles are constructed: the base leg is x and the hypotenuse is 2x. When this is the case, it is a so-called 30-60-90 triangle, because the angles are then automatically 30°, 60°, and 90°, as shown in the picture. What we only discovered after a long time, however, was the mysterious equation for the pyramid’s inner height, which can be calculated with a very simple formula—only for such a 30-60-90 triangle.

The general formula for the inside height of any right pyramid is:

That’s pretty complicated to calculate. But for the special 30-60-90 triangle, the formula is simple: x. For x = 1, the edge lengths are 1, 2 and .

The symbol is read as “root of 3” and it is a fixed constant ( ≈ 1.7320508) that almost every scientific calculator is pre-programmed with. A simple multiplication of the short leg x with this number is sufficient to determine the inner height of the pyramid.

Now that God has shown us the “root” of His Holy City, we may look at Satan’s copy in Giza, and it does not surprise us that where God reveals His innermost personality as the Root of Three, we find the root of one. The rebellion in heaven stems from a single former angel, who out of the insanity of pride dared to doubt and slander God, who alone begins in the seventh dimension, and also controls the eighth, ninth, and tenth. Anyone who follows him will follow him into the agony of paranoia and death through separation from the Life Himself. It will soon be revealed what the mysterious constant Φ, which Satan evidently has a fondness for, means in God’s universe.

Many are puzzling over the mystery of the missing keystone, the pyramidion at the top of the Great Pyramid of Giza, or why there is a temple building on the flat top of most of the Aztec or Mesopotamian pyramids. We no longer have any problem recognizing the counterfeits’ imitation of the top of God’s Holy City with the throne room.

In the middle of the throne room of the Holy City is thus a huge square supporting pillar, which extends through the entire height of the pyramid and originates four roots (from Three). What “plant” comes out of three special Beings and has put down four roots (out of Three) in the four-dimensional universe?

Traveling with the Holy City

Is this one “immense pillar” really the trunk of the tree of life?

In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. (Revelation 22:2)

Then the supporting triangles would have to represent four huge branches, and their decks the smaller branches. The redeemed who dwell in the decks would be portrayed as the leaves in this imagery of the tree and bring healing to the “nations” because they are the antidote to sin. The word for “nations” in the verse above is actually “races” (G1484 = ethnos), so it includes the unknown intelligent races of God’s universe.

Remember that the Holy City travels the universe every Sabbath and visits another planet. On these occasions, it lands gently on its tip on the smallest possible area, with the throne room, where the three Persons of the Deity are, the 144,000, and their 64 leaders. Then a glorious worship service takes place in the presence of Alnitak on this special planet. Of course, the “kings”, rulers, and high-ranking citizens of the planet take part inside the throne room itself, and the rest of the world can certainly take part in the event from outside via the giant holographic displays.

There is even something written in the Word of God in this regard. Let’s start with verse 22:

And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. (Revelation 21:22)

Of course, there are places of worship on every planet that is populated by intelligent beings, and it is surely a special temple in an area where the Holy City can land. It would certainly be a special area on the planet patterned after the earthly Jerusalem, and to which many pilgrims would travel each year for millennia to prepare for the one great and anxiously anticipated worship event, when the Godhead Themselves will be present. The blueprint for this place comes from Ellen G. White’s first vision, where she sees a temple on Mt. Zion outside the Holy City.

Mount Zion was just before us, and on the mount was a glorious temple… {EW 18.2}

The biblical statement that there is no temple in the Holy City, because God the Father and the Lamb are the temple, refers to the fact that all temples built by the hands of beings are just symbols representing the true throne room of the Holy City. There, and only there, the Lamb of God who became man is really personally present.

The next verse underscores this idea once more:

And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. (Revelation 21:23)

Through this verse, we are given an initial hint about traveling to other worlds, as it emphasizes that the Holy City is not dependent on the sun and moon, the two great lights that God identifies our star system and our planet with.

The light of the Holy City is the Lamb, and the glory of God enlightens it. We already followed these clues in the chapters on the projection units of the Holy City. We can assume that if God is able to create a whole 3D universe through the projectors of the Holy City, He can also make things appear in 4D space, which is the normal environment of the “nations” or races. Soon we will learn more about the light, but without wanting to get ahead of myself, I would like to say here that it is so strong that the Holy City, with its huge dimensions as we have seen so far, can easily “project” onto any 4D world via the folding of 6D space. By “project” I mean now, however, a real journey to these worlds themselves; I want to avoid science fiction terms like “jumping through hyperspace.” In this way, the throne of God in 6D space is equally close to every galaxy or planet in 4D space, as Ernie Knoll once hinted to in the Two Cars dream.^[5]

And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it. (Revelation 21:24)

You have to be very careful to read those words in their correct context. The word “ethnos” for nations in this verse is accompanied by the word “saved” [G4982] which is omitted in many other English, Spanish, and German translations. So we are talking on one hand about “ethnos” as the races of the worlds of the universe, and on the other hand, the nations of the saved former humans who will live in the Holy City and “walk” in its light.

The light is the huge lamp, and I would like to emphasize that in this sense it is also something like the power source of the Holy City. Through it, the redeemed “walk” or “travel.” They are “projected” onto the planet where the Lamb wants to have the Sabbath.

That “the kings of the earth bring their glory into it” can also be translated so that “the kings of these world(s) worship in it.” This means that the rulers of these worlds will have access to the throne room of the Holy City for such a grand Sabbath service.

A hard-to-understand verse follows, if you don’t recognize that it’s in the context of Zechariah 14:

And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there. (Revelation 21:25)

Shortly before the Holy City lands on the earth after the millennium, the second resurrection—of the wicked—takes place and Satan is released. After “a little season,”^[6] the exact duration of which the reader will only learn later, the last day of judgment comes upon the resurrected wicked. On this one “day” the gates of the city are closed for the very last time, “on the day.”

Now the time is the same again for the wicked as for those who are in the Holy City. One specific earthly day, which we will discuss more later, is scheduled for the landing of the saints on the earth. Ellen G. White describes how Jesus and the saints briefly leave the city and land on earth first. Then they go back into the city on that same day and attend the wedding feast.

This is followed by the “little season,” during which Satan must be set free. Satan must be given enough time to do all the many things described in the last chapter of the Great Controversy by Ellen G. White. But everything happens in just a few short days, and we are safe in the city together with our Lord.

Furthermore, it should be remembered that Jesus will already have cleansed the area where the Holy City lands, when He touched down on the Mount of Olives, and it is indeed already part of the New Earth. Thus, it is possible that in the first vision of the prophetess, we land on the New Earth, which is in the same place in the true 4D universe as the old earth is in the 3D prison. The “Paradise” is only where the Holy City stands, which after the annihilation of the wicked will extend across the whole earth. The fire that “cleanses” the old earth is actually the gamma-ray burst of Alnitak, which will arrive at the old earth at that time. Then the “projection” will be shut down, and the reality of the New Earth will become visible once the 3D earth has disappeared.

While Satan was rallying his army, the saints were in the city, beholding the beauty and glory of the Paradise of God. Jesus was at their head, leading them. All at once the lovely Saviour was gone from our company; but soon we heard His lovely voice, saying, “Come, ye blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.” We gathered about Jesus, and just as He closed the gates of the city, the curse was pronounced upon the wicked. The gates were shut. Then the saints used their wings and mounted to the top of the wall of the city. Jesus was also with them; His crown looked brilliant and glorious. It was a crown within a crown, seven in number. The crowns of the saints were of the most pure gold, decked with stars. Their faces shone with glory, for they were in the express image of Jesus; and as they arose and moved all together to the top of the city, I was enraptured with the sight.

Then the wicked saw what they had lost; and fire was breathed from God upon them and consumed them. This was the execution of the judgment. The wicked then received according as the saints, in unison with Jesus, had meted out to them during the one thousand years. The same fire from God that consumed the wicked purified the whole earth. The broken, ragged mountains melted with fervent heat, the atmosphere also, and all the stubble was consumed. Then our inheritance opened before us, glorious and beautiful, and we inherited the whole earth made new. We all shouted with a loud voice, “Glory; Alleluia!” {EW 53.1-54.1}

Of course, city gates are not usually closed during the day, but only at night for protection against enemies. The last day of judgment, however, when Satan’s hordes attack the Holy City, calls for an exception.

Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. (Zechariah 14:3)

And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark: But it shall be one day which shall be known to the Lord, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light. And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be. And the Lord shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Lord, and his name one. (Zechariah 14:6-9)

Please remember well: the day of judgment after the millennium is described as a single day, and it is known to Yahweh! Now we should also be able to recognize this day through Him. Then, toward the evening of this “day,” there will be sudden “light” and Revelation 21:25 says there will nevermore be such an attack. Sin will have been completely eradicated and the Holy City will have peace.

And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it. (Revelation 21:26)

The best of the different worlds of the universe will have the right to enter into and worship in the throne room during its Sabbath journeys. They will give glory to God and kneel before the Lamb. The glories of those worlds will be laid at the feet of the Redeemer and Heir of the universe, through whom and for whom all creation exists.

Chapter 21 concludes with a warning to the people of this Age of Aquarius, for before and after the millennium:

And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life. (Revelation 21:27)

The Fruit of the Tree of Life

We learned about the “immense pillar” in the middle of the pyramid, which is the trunk of the tree of life with its roots from the three Persons of the Godhead. Its leaves are the redeemed, and its fruit will be given every month.

It is written that the monthly fruits of the tree of life grant immortality. If we follow the logic of the imagery of the tree of life, the 144,000 on the top of the foundations would be the fruits of the tree of life that shine like jewels and stars!

But how can you eat of angels who used to be humans, and why only once a month, and how do they grant immortality? The solution to the mystery lies in the frequent traveling of the city, which is undertaken every Sabbath. With myriads of inhabited planets, a worship service would take place on the New Earth only once per eternity. As the home planet of those redeemed by Christ, however, Earth is especially close to the heart of Jesus, and thus it is also the governmental seat of the entire universe. It would be sad for it not to occupy a privileged place in the Divine Council’s worship service schedule.

The new moon feasts can only be determined by one single moon in the entire universe: Earth’s moon, which will again orbit the New Earth. God created it as a timepiece for the earth’s months, and the new moon ceremonial sabbaths will forever be celebrated on the New Earth, which this particular moon belongs to, as a satellite, forever. These feasts are a special honor to the earthlings who will have replaced the fallen angels, and with great joy the redeemed will listen to the sermons of the 144,000 as they recount their adventures with Jesus from their Sabbath journeys throughout the universe.

And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh [in the sense of “created beings”] come to worship before me, saith the Lord. (Isaiah 66:23)

Many new moon feasts will fall on Seventh-day Sabbaths, and on these High Sabbaths a small group of former humans will report to the inhabitants of the New Earth how the fruit of the tree of life was given them for the first time when they received and read the last divine revelation of the mystery of the Holy City. This was the moment when they learned of their immortality and recognized their great responsibility, which they would bear forever.

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures. (James 1:17-18)

The mirror images of Jesus, led by the least of the tribe of Joseph, will indeed be the last fruits of the tree of life, but their preaching will be the food of immortal beings on every new moon for eternity, and will sustain their immortality:

Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well; whose branches run over the wall: (Genesis 49:22)

Every former human will be vividly reminded that the battle against evil requires a strong bow.

The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and hated him: But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob; (from thence is the shepherd, the stone of Israel:) (Genesis 49:23-24)

It is the bow of Orion that the rider on the white horse holds firmly in his hand. It helps him to win the victory of created beings over the archenemy. The sacrifice of Jesus laid the foundation for this victory, and from Him the rider draws his strength. He finishes the cleansing of the church and the sanctuary, so often attempted in vain since the white horse started riding in 1846 with the Sabbath truth.

In the trial of God the Father, the battle over the sealing of the witnesses ends shortly before the seventh trumpet sounds. Then at the seventh plague, the clock of God points to the star of the rider with the bow again, as it did at the beginning of the preparatory trumpet cycle on January 31, 2014; at the beginning of the seven thunders on October 25, 2015; at the time when the loud trumpets began to sound on November 22, 2016; and on August 20, 2018, when the stench of the ulcer of the first plague afflicted the sun-worshipers. When the complete wrath of God comes over the unrepentant, the rider who had once been human with the last of the faithful will not be there anymore. Shortly before that, he will be separated from them to take his place as the seventh plague angel in the Kingdom of God.

And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer. (Revelation 6:1-2)

The last messenger from the tribe of Joseph, on the white horse, knows that his strength comes only from the Almighty and that he can only be victorious if he does not rely on his own arm.

I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. (Philippians 4:13)

Richly blessed with knowledge of the heavens above and the deep below, but separate from his Adventist brethren, he would find the last descendants of the tribes and lead them to the borders of the eternal mountains of the constellations.

… (from thence is the shepherd, the stone of Israel:) Even by the God of thy father, who shall help thee; and by the Almighty, who shall bless thee with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lieth under, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb: The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills: they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brethren. (from Genesis 49:24-26)

It will soon be shown to the last fruits how they receive the “blessings of the breasts and womb,” even though this earth has become barren.

At the end of the last cycle of the Orion clock, the seven last plagues, a different Rider appears on another white horse in great glory.^[7] He holds not a bow, but in His right hand a sickle and in His left a silver trumpet.^[8] A two-edged sword comes from His mouth,^[9] and He is followed by all the angels of heaven: it is Jesus-Alnitak, with His angelic hosts. Right behind Him, the rider with the bow will be visible again, because the plague clock must also finish its round with a seven. There will be no more riders on red, black, or pale horses after that. The leaders who brought dispute, false doctrine, and the second death into God’s judgment church will all pass away.

Our “time travel” back to the jubilee year of 1890 will be over. Until then, the tree of life was allowed to keep growing. Its roots go back deep into the era of the rebellion in heaven. The crown of this mighty tree, planted by God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, measures 12,000 furlongs square. Its outer height is a picture for 12,000 years, or six ages that would pass, before this tree was fully mature and the nations of heaven could be healed by the leaves of the tree, and the mortal is allowed to put on immortality.

The Times of the Gentiles

And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. (Luke 21:24)

The vernal point has been migrating through the Mazzaroth throughout the ages since the Lion of the tribe of Judah was attacked in heaven by Satan and his followers.^[10]

Counting 12,000 years from the year 10,085 BC, we come to the year 1916. That year is the focal point of the mysterious year triplet, 1915, 1916, 1917, that stands in the High Sabbath List. It is mysterious because we have not yet explored what the great event was in world history that fell into those years, though we could see such events in the other year triplets. Of course, World War I started in 1914—a year before the triplet began—but that year is already marked in Orion and its story is told there.

In the articles on the gene of life, we had christened this triplet, the S.o.P. triplet,^[11] because it was the first few years after Ellen G. White’s death in 1915 that paved the way for the church’s final betrayal of God in the corresponding ecumenism triplet of the years 1986, 1987, 1988.

If the exterior dimensions of the New Jerusalem point to the year 1916, then it could refer to a historical event related to old Jerusalem. There is an important time prophecy in this context that we have never addressed before. When Jesus comments about the destruction of the second temple in Luke, He uses Jerusalem as a timepiece again and says:

And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. (Luke 21:24)

He is talking about the diaspora after AD 70, and how long it would last. If the year 10,085 BC is correct, the 12,000 years (furlongs) should bring us to a year boundary when the diaspora came to an end and something happened in the territory of Jerusalem that indicated that the Jewish people could return to their ancestral home.

On November 2, 1917—shortly after the beginning of the 12,001^st year after the rebellion in heaven, and the last year of the Spirit of Prophecy triplet—the times of the gentiles were indeed fulfilled by the signing of the Balfour Declaration.

In the Balfour Declaration of November 2, 1917, Great Britain declared themselves in agreement with the 1897 Zionist goal of establishing a “national home” for the Jewish people in Palestine. The rights of existing non-Jewish communities should be preserved. At that time, Palestine was still under the control of the Ottomans. The then-British government under Lloyd George promised benefits from the commitment to the Zionist movement in the mobilization of additional resources during the war, as well as long-term strategic advantages.

On October 31, 1917, the Battle of Beersheba was carried out under the British General Edmund Allenby and thus, the conquest of Palestine by British troops had begun, which was effectively ended by December 1917. The British Balfour Declaration was addressed to the leaders of the World Zionist Organization. It is considered a crucial guarantee to Zionism to establish a “national home for the Jewish people” in Palestine.^[12]

This British proclamation in 1917 guaranteed the establishment of the State of Israel, and with it began the conflict over Palestine that continues to this day, and for which the Trump Declaration is supposed to bring about a peaceful solution. The year 1916 was officially declared to be the last year of the diaspora.

In the center of the corresponding triplet of years, which began in 1986, is 1987 with the First Intifada. The conflict regarding the founding of the State of Israel had grown so much since 1916 that the Palestinians ventured their first major uprising, also known as “The War of the Stones.” The Freemason plan unveiled by Albert Pike to create the State of Israel as a catalyst for the Third World War seemed to be working. But God lets the four angels hold the four winds until the last of the 144,000 is sealed. Hopefully you know that this time is not far off.

Mark it well: the slant-height of the pyramid apparently represents a timeline that accurately indicates the year, across six ages!

The Mystery of the Pyramidion

Orion has another piece of very interesting information waiting for us. If you look at the constellation as an hourglass, you see the side view of two pyramids, not just one. In the middle, both “pyramids” are facing each other at their tips, separated by the throne lines and the throne room. We might come up with the idea that this dichotomy should be two great times in the plan of salvation: the Old Testament time before Jesus’ first coming and the New Testament time after that, which we are now in. If we had to decide which of the two pyramids should represent the time after Christ’s death, then I would choose the one where the Orion Nebula stands as Jesus’ great wound in His side, and as the lens through which we will reach God’s kingdom.

The throne room of the Holy City stands inside, on the flattened tip of the pyramid that also forms its landing area. We are now interested in what time of history would be shown if the pyramidion, i.e. the capstone (or foundation stone) of the pyramid for the time after Christ, were actually present.

In order to be able to convert the outer dimensions of the pyramid, we should first investigate the end-date of such a New Testament pyramid.

When Ellen G. White died in 1915, Adventists were already 25 years into the new wilderness wandering that they had to face from 1890 on, for rejecting the beginning of the fourth angel’s message in 1888. What grief these long years must have caused in the heart of the prophetess, who had been permitted to see heaven as early as her first vision.

Christ would have welcomed her into His arms in the jubilee year of 1890, without her ever having seen death, and many others from the Adventist Churches with her, who would have lived and remained faithful to that time. After this truly great disappointment—the missed seventieth jubilee—the church stagnated, and despite the increase in membership, there was a decrease in general morale, so that nine years after the start of the Orion message, we face the devastating fact that fewer than 20 people of the 20 million in the Adventist Church will reach heaven. That’s less than one millionth of the church!

No truth—however profound—within this far-reaching message of the loving Father could reach the stubborn hearts of the Adventists, and the remaining Christians that we wanted to call out of the other equally fallen churches with substantial financial exertion have so far remained uninterested.

Since October 22, 2016, when we prayed for a time extension, we have been on our way back to the jubilee year of 1890 to make up for what was lacking. If the Adventist church had not been unfaithful, the tree of life in its pyramidal form would have represented the total number of those who would have replaced the fallen angels in heaven. What was not reached in 1890 must be reached by May 2019, because that is when we will pass that critical point in the growth of the tree of life again on the way back in time.

Having considered these things, it is probably legitimate to set the (planned) end-point of the growth of the N.T. pyramid to 1890.

What would be the logical start date for this N.T. pyramid? Only two historical events come into question for the date of the beginning of Christianity: Jesus’ death on the cross in AD 31 or the stoning of Stephen and the conversion of Paul in AD 34. However, we now know that the throne room stands at the flattened tip of the pyramid and encompasses the sites of the Passion of Jesus. So it is very likely that the date of the crucifixion of our Lord on May 25, AD 31, could be the base of the pyramidion, timewise, and could lead to a meaningful date at its (hypothetical) apex.

Let’s calculate and see if we strike gold.

The entire length of time represented by the N.T. pyramid would be...

1890 – 31 = 1859 years.

Per year, the slant height of the pyramid would give us...

(12,000 furlongs – 24 furlongs) ÷ 1859 years = 6.44217 furlongs per year

The pyramidion would have a slant height of 24 furlongs, which must now be converted to years...

24 furlongs ÷ 6.44217 furlongs per year = 3.7254 years

How many days does that correspond to?

3.7254 years × 365 days per year = 1359.771 days. That would be 1359 days (rounded down) or 1360 days (rounded up).

We get two possible dates for the tip of the pyramidion that began the “New Testament” era when we use a date calculator to subtract 1359 or 1360 days from May 25, AD 31, according to Jewish inclusive time-reckoning:

September 3/4, AD 27 or September 4/5, AD 27^[13]

Can we find anything meaningful in these dates?

Mind you, the year AD 27 was the year Jesus began His ministry on this earth, with the autumn festivals. We know from the 70-week prophecy and the historical record of the Gospels that His ministry lasted three and a half years from the autumn of AD 27 to the spring of AD 31 (May 25).

The year AD 31 was a year that followed a leap month (an Adar II) of the previous year. These leap months occurred—according to the rules of the spring equinox and the barley test—approximately every three to four years. It is quite possible that the year before AD 27 also had an Adar II, and thus the year AD 27 could have started quite late on April 26/27 instead of a month earlier.

Regardless of whether the year AD 27 began in March or April—the September dates do not fall in the seventh festal month, but either in the fifth or sixth month of the Jewish year!

First, let’s ask: what event does the Lord want to show us with these possible dates? It must be Jesus’ baptism in the Jordan, the date of which represents an almost greater mystery than His crucifixion date.^[14] His baptism and forty days in the wilderness must have been before His ministry began, because at the wedding in Cana, which took place on the third day^[15] after His fasting in the wilderness, He said...

Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come. (John 2:4)

It is understandable that Jesus had to be tempted in the wilderness before His ministry of three and a half years; only if He would pass this terrible trial would He really be the Son of God, and able to resist Satan and go the way of the sacrificial Lamb for humanity.

Don’t forget that He Himself had to ascertain His purpose, because He had learned of His divine nature only through studying the Word of God and comparing with His own past life—especially His childhood in Bethlehem, Egypt, and Nazareth—the prophecies that He was the Son of God and the Messiah! (Keep this in mind, because there is another heavenly mystery associated with this understanding.)

It is safe to assume that Jesus perfectly understood Daniel’s prophecy of the 70 weeks and His violent death in the middle of the 70^th week prophesied there. Given the date of Artaxerxes’ decree—which came to fruition in AD 27 as the last of the three possibilities—He also knew that the 70^th week would begin that year, and that the time of His ministry would come with the first autumn feast of the year. He was fully aware that He was the prophesied Lamb of God that needed to be slaughtered.

He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. (Isaiah 53:7)

He understood—like no one else—that the lamb whose blood the Israelites had to paint on their doorposts in order to be saved from the angel of death, represented His blood. He understood the customs of His time, including the proper celebration of the Passover, and knew that He would have to die on the 14^th day of Nissan to become the antitype of the evening sacrifice and abolish the sacrificial system once and for all.

He knew which day of the month it was when the Israelites really left slavery in Egypt, and He understood the confusing mode of expression used by Moses in recording that day as the 15^th day of the (Egyptian) first month,^[16] even though the day of their liberation was in truth the 14^th of Nissan according to the Jewish calendar, and which therefore had to stand for freedom from the slavery of sin. He didn’t have the two-passover problem that we—with the help of the Holy Spirit—identified as a cloud of errors coming from today’s Bible scholars.

He was conscious through the study of the Scriptures, therefore, as was John the Baptist, that after His baptism, which represented His death as “the Lamb that taketh away the sin of the world,”^[17] he would still be tempted for 40 days, according to the type of the wilderness wandering of the Israelites, and then would have to return to Galilee—all before the autumn feasts would begin with the Feast of Trumpets.

What date would Jesus have chosen for His baptism, with all that foreknowledge? He did not know the exact date when the Feast of Trumpets would begin, but He knew that He would have to be baptized about two months before, so that He, with the Holy Ghost, could resist Satan. He knew, of course, the approximate date of the Feast of Trumpets—just not the exact day, since it depended on the sighting of the moon. He was well aware of the lunar cycle of 29.5 days.

He would have thus chosen the fifth month of the current Jewish year, so that all the other preparatory events for His work could fit into the time frame. And of that fifth month, He would surely have chosen the fourteenth day, when He typically delivered the Israelites in the exodus from the slavery of Egypt. He would also antitypically free Christians from the slavery of sin on the fourteenth day of the month by abolishing the sacrificial system with His own blood on a Passover day.

We had two possible dates for the apex of the pyramidion, depending on whether we rounded up or down. Rounding up, however, would correspond a little more to the Jewish way of thinking, in which every day that is “touched” is also counted.

So if we take the decimal number of 1359.771 as the whole number 1360 and calculate back from May 25, AD 31 (Jewish inclusive counting), we come to September 3/4, AD 27 as the exact date of Jesus’ baptism, calculated by rounding up from the height of the pyramidion.

Now it is important to check whether this agrees with the idea of what day Jesus would have chosen for the antitype of the exodus. The fifth crescent moon of the Jewish year was sighted from the Temple Mount on the evening of August 21, AD 27. That made August 21/22, AD 27 the first day of the fifth month. If we continue counting, we come to September 3/4, AD 27 as the 14^th day of the fifth month and the day on which Jesus publicly received the Holy Spirit in the form of the dove!

Jesus did not have to be born again—because He was sinless—but His baptism was to serve as an example for us sinners, which we are to imitate if we want—through Him—to resist Satan’s temptations.

We have solved another great time mystery. Later we will learn how big it really is. How will baptism, through which all the redeemed gave their lives to the Lord of Life, be commemorated as a holiday in heaven?

As you read this, it sounds as if the Holy Spirit guided us directly to that date and to the correct calculation of the pyramidion, but I would not want to withhold from you that the correct date was the penultimate realization before our big final exam in Paraguay that I will talk about later, in Part III. We did recognize the true meaning of this date on January 22, 2018 in the evening, the anniversary of the Orion message, and we had found the way to calculate it and had the idea with the pyramidion one Sabbath before that, but the small error crept in that we had not deducted the 24 furlongs of the throne room in the furlongs-per-year calculation. We came to a later date of September 6, AD 27, which was a Sabbath. We were content with that for a long time, since to us a Sabbath seemed to be a day symbolic of Jesus’ rest in the tomb, and thus for baptism by immersion, which symbolizes death.

But when I started this chapter on the day of the super full moon, which was also a blood moon and a blue moon at the same time—which is a once-every-150-years occurrence—on January 31/February 1, 2018, I noticed the calculation error and we were compelled to study the facts even more deeply. On the evening of this anniversary of the rider on the white horse of 2014, we were toying with September 5 because we hadn’t yet remembered the old studies—only that the Israelites had been led out of captivity on the 15^th day, according to Moses.

I searched for clues in Ernie Knoll’s dreams, which had previously confirmed the date of May 25, AD 31 through a dream date (May 25, 2008), as well as through the content of the dream itself (The Cross). The only dream with a date of September 5 was the familiar dream Sudden Darkness from 2007, whose contents, however, offer no indication of baptism.

However, on the morning of February 2, 2018, my dear wife Linda reminded me of my own study of the Shadows of the Cross, so the discrepancy with the decimal place (1359.771) was also corrected, and everything fell into harmony. At last I finally knew why I had done that rather complicated study at that time, because so far it seemed to have been of secondary importance.

Would I find confirmation once again in Ernie Knoll’s old, still unadulterated, dreams?^[18]

Excerpt from If You Love Me, September 4, 2007

Still smiling, my angel asks, “May I have your right hand again?” I hold up my right hand, which he takes, and I feel a peace and security. He says, “There is more I need to show you.” We ascend and soon are in the corridor seen in previous dreams. We go through the wall and into a room where there are many people. Some are not important people and some are. Some are not well-educated; some are. Many people work serving others. I do not know anyone. I ask the angel, “Who are these people?” He says, “Watch closely.” I watch a man speaking who is greasy from his head to his feet. Apparently he had been working on a car. He speaks as if he is not well-educated, but yet knowledgeable about mechanical things. Suddenly, a light from above surrounds him, making it seem like his hat catches on fire. The man speaks again and is able to speak as though he is well-versed. He goes out to speak to many who will gather around him. He speaks about the love of Jesus, how we need to accept Him as our closest Friend, and how we need to accept and believe that He died for us. Many, many, many people gathered around and accepted Jesus.

Looking back to the room where I am, I see another man. I know he is a person that picks up trash and cleans bathrooms. He carries a mop and broom. His back is bent from leaning over so much as he cleans. The light comes down brightly on him, and his hair also seems to catch on fire. He drops his mop and broom. Now he is holding a Bible and a Spirit of Prophecy book. His back straightens up and he leaves the room. Many surround him, and he starts sharing things from the Bible and Spirit of Prophecy.

I turn and look in the room again, knowing I see a prisoner who has done something wrong. I ask the angel, “Is he a prisoner still or is he set free?” My angel smiles with such patience, looks at me, squeezes my hand a little, and says, “Watch.” A light from above shines on the prisoner and the top of his head seems to catch on fire. He leaves and begins speaking to many who are dressed just like himself. Many, many, many gather around and listen. Many fall to their knees and cry to Jesus for forgiveness of their sins.

I turn and see a man holding a shovel in his right hand. He wears heavy, mud-caked work boots. His face is dirty with sweat marks. A light shines from above and his hard hat seems to catch on fire. He goes out and starts speaking.

I look to my angel, who still holds my hand, and ask, “When will this happen?” We leave the room to stand in the corridor. I ask again, “When will the event I just saw happen?” He asks, “What do you think you just saw happen?” I answer, “Wasn’t this the outpouring of the Holy Spirit?” He says, “Come.”

Speaking of Jesus, John the Baptist said:

I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: (Matthew 3:11)

Read a little further in the dream. There follows a demonstration of the preparation of a loaf of bread and how long it takes to completely finish it, packaged and ready to enjoy. The complete understanding of this part of the dream eluded me for a long time, until I came to understand it now in the light of this four-part testimony—because I too am a baker who must prepare this abundant knowledge, let it rest several times, bake it, let it cool, and divide it into small slices in order to be distributed in conveniently-sized, well-wrapped plastic bags. Doesn’t it smell good in the bakery of the White Cloud Farm?

I agree with “the Herald,” the angel Gabriel, when he says to Ernie:

My angel says, “There is much to making a loaf of bread.”

The date of Jesus’ baptism will continue to play an immense role as we continue in this last major study section of the fourth angel’s message. Take note of it, and read the sources about Jesus’ baptism from Ellen G. White and the Bible. You will find many more affirmations there that the pyramidion accurately indicates this important date in Jesus’ life. Unfortunately, an even more detailed elucidation would burst this plastic bag.

However, it seems clear that the outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon all flesh has to do with finding the date of Jesus’ baptism, otherwise this dream from Ernie, which also implies that we must be right in front of the “fireball” event, would not connect it so clearly.

And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy: And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come: (Acts 2:17-20)

My dear travel companions, the Spirit of God is light; the light we receive to walk in the darkness. At the beginning of His ministry of three and a half years, our Lord said to all tribes:

The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles; The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up. From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. (Matthew 4:15-17)

Now I will tell you about the light of the Holy City and about its tremendous brightness. It will put everything you have ever imagined about it into the shadows.

The Lamp of God

It is time to open your eyes and give you the light that enlightens the Holy City. Not only does it illuminate the Holy City, but it is also the light source of the projector for a whole universe, billions of light-years in extent! It must truly radiate the splendor and glory of God and shine even brighter than our sun, whose brightness is not even a speck of light in infinity!

You have heard of them, and seen them in pictures, and yet you did not recognize them. If you were to see them with your human eyes, you would die, but they are real and always around us.

And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever. (Revelation 22:5)

Where is the lamp for the four projection units of the Holy City? You might answer, “There are only two possibilities: either in the throne room or at the opposite end of the pyramidal city, on something like a city square with a huge floodlight.”

I know the Lamp and the answer: the verse says that “the Lord God will shine on them,”^[19] so it must be at the broad end of the city when it has landed. At the moment, however, it is difficult for us to harmonize this position of the lamp with the throne room, where God should be, which is at the flattened tip of the pyramid. Soon, however, this apparent contradiction will dissolve into nothingness.

To discover the nature of the lamp of God, we need to remember that the Holy City, as we know it, is itself just a projection of the reality behind the lens in the Orion Nebula. It is a symbol that can, however, become a tangible reality when the saints travel with God. However, the Holy City of Revelation 21 is, and remains, a miniaturization or model of something much larger in God’s reality that can land on a planet (at least the tip of the pyramid, while most of it remains in outer space).

You have already learned that our entire 3D universe is a projection, while the reality of eternal life lies in the 4D/6D universe of intelligent races and angels. The entire Holy City, as we have come to know it, is therefore just a “projection” of God’s seat of government for the 6D universe of angels, which can be brought to any point in the 4D universe of sinless creation, as God wishes.

Until now, when we spoke about the furlong or kilometer dimensions of the Holy City, it was always in reference to the projection of the true city of God! I emphasize again: the Holy City in Revelation 21 is a real, but “projected” symbol of God’s reality. Nothing that is in the Revelation of Jesus should be taken too literally! You know this principle. Yet, in our studies of the Holy City so far, we have almost completely ignored it.

The lamp of a projector is usually on the other side of the lens or objective, when we stand on the side where the image is cast on the screen. In this case, the screen is our 3D universe, the lens is the Orion Nebula, and the microdisplay originates from the true universe in 4D space—but what would the lamp be, far beyond the Orion Nebula?

Based on the true size of the Holy City, we can gauge what the true nature of the lamp must be. To do that, we must somehow convert the dimensions of the Holy City to the dimensions of God’s reality.

Some time ago, I already taught that we may understand the obsolete “furlongs” in the Book of Revelation as a symbolic unit of measurement that stands for a well-known unit used in astronomy. Remember, please:

And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs. (Revelation 14:20)

In the article It is the Lord!, I explained that the horses, or their bridles, are symbols for the Horsehead Nebula, which is about 1600 light-years away from the earth. It was deciphered that when God says “furlongs” in Revelation, He actually speaks of light-years.

That is, Jesus tells us in His Revelation, that the Holy City, the New Jerusalem, has an expanse of 12,000 light-years square, at its broad end. If the lamp of God is located at that end of the true pyramid, then it must also have those astronomical dimensions!

Did some of you fall off your chair? The dimensions of the Holy City on “the other side” now surpass everything that we have learned so far about this giant projector, which we already could barely imagine! Some surely had some difficulties with the previous 2218 km edge length, but now we are talking about a projector on a universal scale. Well, I’ll point out that He also has to project an entire universe. We are now talking about the 4D-projector “Holy City,” which lies behind the “lens” of the Orion Nebula.

The Orion clock had shown us two “pyramids” connected at their tips, which we learned in the last chapter to understand as an hourglass of the Old and New Testament times. In this new image, we consider the two pyramids as the revelation of God in Orion, that on the other side of the Orion Nebula, there must indeed be another universe with the true “pyramid” of the Holy City. Because it is projected as a picture of God’s universe in our lesson book of the 3D universe, the lamp itself must also be reflected in our universe!

Can you see parts of the Orion constellation in the picture above? I don’t think that’s difficult, if you consider the focal point as the belt stars and look at the lines that emanate from it as the lines to the outer stars. Thus, God represents in Orion the principle of image projection itself.

Do you see how the broad part of the left “pyramid” corresponds to the lens itself that bundles the light? Then you also see how the “light” in the picture above occupies the same area of the lens. Therefore, we must search for a “light source” in our universe that occupies 12,000 light-years square, shines brightly, and could represent a reflection of the “lamp of God” in the book of nature.

There is only one cosmic entity that has these dimensions and shines with the light of billions of stars compressed into a tight space. It is a gigantic lamp of galactic proportions, because 12,000 light-years or 4 kiloparsecs (kpc) corresponds to the diameter of the roughly spherical galactic bulge of our Milky Way, where the galactic center is located and huge stellar masses gather together. There isn’t a single other cosmic entity that we could find in our environment that would have those gigantic dimensions of 12,000 light-years square, shining in the light of (thus far innumerable) billions of stars as a great “lamp” of God.

It is only since 2008 that it has been known that our galaxy is thicker than previously supposed, and the thicker measurement is in the middle,^[20] which justifies making a cross-section through it with an area of 12,000 light-years squared. It is interesting to note that it has a shape resembling a bar with a ball in the middle. The bar in the flat disk-shaped galaxy looks almost like a modern fluorescent bulb with the fixture, which justifies a more area-like representation in the model.

Our solar system is, praise God, about 26,000 light-years from the center of this hyperbright lamp. Do you remember that the Lamb is the light of the Holy City? Where in the universe would we find a grander representation of the power and potency of this Lamp than the immense accumulation of billions of stellar masses in the galactic bulge?

We find in some scientific articles that enormous masses of stellar dust and dark matter shield our eyes from the light of the galactic bulge, otherwise all we would see is an overpowering brightness if we would look in the direction of the galactic center, which lies in Sagittarius. There, old (red) and young (whitish-yellow) stars unite in one ball full of light:

The Holy Spirit wants to guide us step by step into the truth of the reality of the fourth dimension, where the earth occupies a “top position” on the pyramid, and the billions of crowded stars of the galactic bulge symbolize the light of heaven and its angelic hosts.

In the first act of creation, God provided light in the “projector” that casts on a three-dimensional screen the image not only of our solar system and its planets and all the surrounding stars of our galaxy, but also those of the other worlds symbolized by the stellar regions of countless other galaxies:

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. (Genesis 1:1-3)

Anyone who has ever wondered how it could be that God first created light and then the sun, moon, and stars, has now found—probably completely unexpectedly—a great logical answer: The lamp of the projector over the bottomless pit was turned on, starting the projection of the 3D universe around us as we know it. More and more heavenly bodies were added, such as the sun, moon, and stars.

Those who carefully read the creation account can see that the earth already existed before the projector was turned on, and that it was void until the projection began and life was created on it. According to this divine revelation, it is the only planet in our 3D universe that bears life, since all the star systems out there are only projections. It’s no wonder that mankind is searching in vain for signs of intelligent life in the universe, when the stars themselves are only symbols of the intelligent beings of the true 4D universe of God, living there on truly life-filled planets.

The Journey to the Throne Room

We found the Light of the Holy City with truly galactic proportions at the large square base. Would it be conceivable that we could discover something equally gigantic at the flattened tip, too, like in the model pyramid?

At the top of the travel model is a 24-furlong-long by 24-furlong-wide space (˜20 km²), which we already understand as the throne room, which stands on the 75-meter-high wall where the gates of the city are set, leading into the entrance hall or foyer of the “temple”.

If we translate the 24 furlongs into the real dimensions of the Kingdom of God, we would have to find an astronomical entity in “proximity” to us that measures about 24 light-years and can be identified as a “throne room” somewhere in the Word of God.

Surely your first thought is of the Orion Nebula, since in old articles we already saw it as a throne room which will be magnificently illuminated at a certain feast. Ernie Knoll was permitted to have a dream describing the saints’ journey to the Orion Nebula at the hand of Jesus, and in another dream (Two Cars) he saw that the luminosity of the throne room would be increased by a factor of 200 million times that of the sun as soon as that celebration takes place there. That number is typical of a hypernova and suggests a proportionately huge stellar explosion. It can only be the coronation ceremony of the 144,000 upon their arrival in the Orion Nebula, or the coronation ceremony of Jesus as Ruler of the universe after its cleansing from sin. This will be clarified in a later part of this study.

Check Wikipedia to see if the dimension of “24 light-years” has anything to do with the Orion Nebula, as we must conclude from the model of the Holy City:

Since the Orion Nebula does not have a sharp contour, the size of the nebula assigned depends on the choice of method for defining its edge. In the mid-20th century, Stewart Sharpless cataloged a variety of H-II regions, earning the Orion Nebula an apparent diameter of 60 arc minutes for comparison purposes. This angle corresponds to an extension of 24 light-years at a distance of 1350 light-years. Lynds’ Catalog of Bright Nebulae notes 60 × 90 arc minutes.^[21]

That is astounding! Once again, on the pyramidal model God has shown us an object within our own galaxy that surpasses everything that astronomers could discover. They cannot really see the center of our galaxy because dense matter shields our gaze and protects us from its explosion of brightness.

Before we begin to transfer more of the model’s metrics into reality in God’s universe, I must reveal the solution to the mystery of the duration of the saints’ journey to that nebula. We kept making new assumptions^[22] about what Ellen G. White really wanted to say with the “seven” days of travel to the Orion Nebula, which of course is the sea of glass in her vision.

We all entered the cloud together, and were seven days ascending to the sea of glass, when Jesus brought the crowns, and with His own right hand placed them on our heads. {EW 16.2}

At first, let’s ignore what “spaceship” we are really going to travel in, but focus on the distance and how to overcome it in just seven days.

We have to assume that the travel time must actually feel like seven (Jewish) days for us, i.e., seven days will actually elapse for us. According to our point of view from Appendix A to the Legacy of Smyrna, it would be no mere coincidence that it is the duration of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the first day of which we would begin the journey. But now we know that the time is shortened by one prophetic hour and that we will begin our journey on May 6 or 7, 2019. But the exact days of the week on which our journey will take place will be the theme of the fourth part of this study.

What is certain is that we have to arrive at the Orion Nebula at the beginning of the seventh day of the journey, and that everything that Ellen G. White saw in her first vision must take place on that day. There is our coronation, standing on the Orion Nebula, followed by our entering the city for the first time. After that, the landing of the Holy City on the 4D Earth takes place after Jesus and the 144,000 first descend to it to watch while the city descends. The excursion crosses the area of the planet where Mt. Zion is seen, there is the special service in the temple with the seven pillars, and the entrance to the Holy City where the wedding feast, also called the “First Supper,” finally takes place—all in one day! All our wounds will then be healed...

Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the Lord bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound. (Isaiah 30:26)

However, before this seventh day can take place, we must traverse the distance of 1350 light-years, and if we are to accomplish that in six days plus a few minutes or hours, then we must travel faster than the speed of light. We are no longer in our 3D universe, even though we have not yet entered the Holy City. We have to travel in 4D space, because the Orion Nebula—as well as the earth—is in the Orion spur of our own galaxy, meaning it is not necessary to use the fifth or sixth dimension in this journey. But our final passage into the 4D/6D universe of God is symbolized by our entry into the Holy City. For the time comparison between our travel time and the time that passes on the earth, we have to assume that the rules that apply to the travel must be similar to what the German physicist Albert Einstein asserted for the 3D universe, and that means that if someone approaches the speed of light (or exceeds it), then time slows down for him.

That means while we spend one day on our journey, much more time passes on the earth. We already took that fact into account once, in the Seven Lean Years article when we did not yet know everything about the true date of the coming of Jesus, nor that God would now explain astronomical distances and reveal His final mysteries.

So if, according to Ellen G. White, we fly directly to the Orion Nebula and arrive there on the seventh travel day and even want to land on the 4D Earth that day, we must assume that on the first six days of the journey, at least 1000 years must have passed on the old earth, which even seems scientifically consistent with our cruising at speeds faster than that of light by traveling in 4D space.

God gave us a timekeeper in Orion, and there He explicitly states that in the judgment time, one heavenly hour equals seven earthly years, or in other words, for one heavenly day, 168 years pass on the earth. Thus, in six days of the saints’ travel, (6 × 168 years =) 1008 years would have passed on earth by the time we come to a standstill in the Orion Nebula and the rates at which time passes are equal again.

When we came to this realization, we were all silent, immersed in thought, because according to our own sense of time, that would mean on May 12, 2019 we would be crowned and land on the 4D Earth! The wedding feast with Jesus would also take place in the Holy City that day. All of this would have happened for us in just one week of Jesus’ second coming.

We wondered if that would be possible, since it says that the saints would live and reign with Christ for a thousand years...

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. (Revelation 20:4)

If it were the case that this verse indicated the total duration of the reign of the martyrs and the 144,000, then one would also have to wonder what would happen afterwards. After the 1000 years—ridiculous compared to eternity—would the redeemed then have to cede their dominion to others?

No, the verse is to be understood as describing the first thousand years of the reign of the saints until the event of the next verse occurs:

But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. (Revelation 20:5)

It is about the interval between the first and second resurrection according to earthly time. When we leave in 2019, another seven years will pass on the earth until the last unrepentant person dies. That will be completed in 2026. Then, in 2027, the first year of the millennium-long Sabbath rest begins on the earth. It is the first year in which sin no longer haunts the planet, and it is completely void. During the seventh millennium from creation, Satan will walk the earth and think about what he has done, while only a few heavenly days pass for us. With the passing of the year 3026, the millennium ends and the year 3027 will again see people on the earth: the second resurrection will take place. For us, it will be on the day of our arrival in the Orion Nebula with the wedding feast in the Holy City later that evening, while time on the earth will be much more advanced. After “a little season,” when sin is eradicated once and for all, we will celebrate the coronation feast with the King of the universe.

We begin our “millennium” in 2019, but a millennium for the wise lasts for 1008 years according to the clock of God in Orion—eight years longer than a millennium for the wicked. To the year 2019, add the six days of our journey to the Orion Nebula, which lasts 1008 years on the earth, and we also come to the year 3027 as the year of our landing on the 4D Earth, because we still must at least “touch” the seventh day of the journey, since Ellen G. White’s prophecy of the seven-day journey must be fulfilled.

I wondered how many days will have passed for Jesus since the beginning of Creation Week, until we will be united with Him. The first six millennia of 1008 years were only 36 days for Him. At the beginning of the 25^th day, however, He became a man and lived a sinless and yet laborious human life with an early and painful death at the age of 35 years. Thus, He has all the experience we do (and more) and will always be able to sympathize with us.

The last of the 36 days was the heavenly Judgment Day with its earthly 168 years. Another hour, that of the judgment of the living, will have passed from 2012 to 2019 until He could resurrect His own and bring them into the clouds with us. The six days of travel to the Orion Nebula bring it to 42 days in the heavenly plan of salvation from sin. These 42 days are the antitype of the 42 stations that the Israelites wandered through in the desert before entering the promised land, which flowed with milk and honey. The true entering into the Canaan of God’s universe will take place on the seventh day of our journey to the Orion Nebula. It is the 43^rd day and the first day after the wilderness wandering of humanity, on which the wedding feast takes place. In this way, the wedding in Cana on the third day after Jesus returned from the 40-day wilderness wandering becomes the perfect type of the wedding feast of the Lamb. That will be the day when Jesus will drink from the fruit of the vine again, and the miracle of turning the water into wine will be working in us. The earth—covered with water, without any life before creation—will have produced fine fruits of the vine that will fill the Creator with the utmost joy for all eternity.

The harmony of both “millennia” is undeniable. I once asked the group at the lunch table on the farm, “How would you judge the dead in the millennium, and what sentence would you give them?” I did so with regard to the following testimony of the messenger of God:

During the thousand years between the first and the second resurrection the judgment of the wicked takes place. … In union with Christ they judge the wicked, comparing their acts with the statute book, the Bible, and deciding every case according to the deeds done in the body. Then the portion which the wicked must suffer is meted out, according to their works; and it is recorded against their names in the book of death. {GC 660.4}

I wanted to know if the future leaders of the angels would already have the spiritual maturity to realize why the 1000 years of the sentencing judgment would only take six short days (or even less) to decide all the cases of the billions of people who sinned bad and worse. I, having fallen the deepest, had long wondered what sentence I would give to another, less fallen, without judging myself. I came to the conclusion that I would only ask Jesus what the shortest and most painless punishment would be that He could mete and still be just, and I would agree with Him and His answer and lay my judge’s hat at His feet. It would probably not take six days to ask that question and get the answer.

We should have known for a long time that we are not much better than those who did not accept the message of the fourth angel. It was the grace of God alone that helped us when we fell. He alone was the one who led us to the message of His last church. I write this in tears because it is I who most needed the helping hand of Jesus to return to the path of righteousness. He is my only consolation in shame, and that I could fall and let Him pick me up is my eternal memory. Since I sought the truth and saw Jesus’ figure, I remind myself that I can do all things, but only through the One who strengthens me. Praised be God alone, and I ask Him for leniency in the punishment of the seduced who could not be lifted again.

The Center of the Galaxy

Science has recently learned that there is a huge black hole within the galactic bulge,^[23] which must also have meaning in this symbolic representation of God’s reality as a pyramid of galactic proportions. It must symbolize God Himself—not there devouring everything that He can get, but drawing all His stars (angels) to Him, as Jesus prophesied:

Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. (John 12:31-32)

Black holes are little understood by science, as nothing can escape them and even time is slower due to the tremendous gravity in its immediate vicinity. The black hole in the center of our galaxy is not a monster, as some imagine. Wikipedia explains:

According to Birkhoff’s theorem, it is the only vacuum solution that is spherically symmetric. This means that there is no observable difference between the gravitational field of such a black hole and that of any other spherical object of the same mass. The popular notion of a black hole “sucking in everything” in its surroundings is therefore only correct near a black hole’s horizon; far away, the external gravitational field is identical to that of any other body of the same mass.

The gravity of 4.5 million solar masses is of course unimaginably high, but that vast amount of matter is packed tightly into a relatively small sphere. The diameter of the central black hole of our galaxy has been researched by scientists:

The team calculated the diameter to be around 22 million kilometers, easily fitting within the orbit of Mercury. This accounts for an enormous concentration of mass in the smallest of spaces: astronomers were able to calculate that the mass of 40,000 suns must be condensed into a space the size of our Earth—or even smaller.^[24]

Our entire earth would be a black hole in a 9-mm sphere. You have to imagine that once!

Articles can be found that speak of a black hole being the portal into another dimension, just because space (the third dimension) is folded there, which in turn is an illustration for an even higher dimension than the third dimension.

We know which dimension is directly “behind” the event horizon of a black hole: time. God did not leave us wondering, but revealed Himself to us through the Scriptures as Time and the seventh dimension. Anyone who is near such a black hole will, as he gets closer, notice large differences in the flow of time for those who are further away. This explains why in “heaven,” near the black hole in the center of the galactic bulge, time runs (61,390 times^[25]) slower than on the earth.

From what we know now, we can safely assume that we would not survive the descent into a black hole unless God Himself intervenes and steers us through the seventh dimension.

Thus, time travel would only be possible with God’s help, which means that angels who occupy a high position, very close to God, could also be sent on special missions in the past and future.

Of course, God set a limit on what is possible for the other angels, and also Satan. Time travel is usually completely excluded, and thus also the manipulation of time, which could be used to make injustice or sin good without claiming Jesus’ blood, just to give an example. Another example would be to turn defeat into victory by eliminating the mistakes that led to defeat. The character of a being who can travel through time would have to be highly moral, and that certainly does not apply to Satan and his fallen angels, which absolutely justifies his banishment to a continuum with a low number of dimensions that excludes the possibility of approaching a black hole.

The redeemed, as they ascend out of the misery of sin at the hand of Jesus, will be elevated to a higher dimension by the symbolic leap through the lens of the Orion Nebula into the unknown, and into a world that will seem very strange to them, and yet infinitely more diverse. Even time travel will be possible there, but only at the behest of God.

If the famous “Flatlander” on the piece of paper could move into our third dimension, he would be able to see for the first time how impoverished his two-dimensional world really was, and he could even let many other beings in other flat worlds “travel” at “over light speed” from one end of a page to another, just by curling or folding other sheets of paper. How powerful would he feel?

When we are lifted up by God into the higher dimension of the angels, we will see from the outside that our “reality” was just a projection and a limitation of what we will be in our true dimension as heavenly beings.

God leaves no doubt about His manifestation in the universe. The huge black hole in the center of the galaxy is surrounded by dense clouds of matter that it gravitationally attracts and accumulates around it.

And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of the Lord, So that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud: for the glory of the Lord had filled the house of the Lord. Then spake Solomon, The Lord said that he would dwell in the thick darkness. (1 Kings 8:10-12)

God is not the black hole itself, but He is behind it. The dimensions in which God lives are hidden from us. He does not stop at seven dimensions, but He is all dimensions. And He is three thinking and feeling Persons, full of love, wisdom, and justice!

The Lord reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad thereof. Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne. (Psalms 97:1-2)

There are countless black holes in the universe, and they are all connected to each other through the seventh dimension. The substance of God is unfathomable, but His love is revealed in Alnitak-Immanuel, the wounded One with us.

The Name of the Holy City

The moment has now arrived to lift the veil and reveal what God really wants to show the people of the last generation with His imagery of the Holy City. It is impossible to find further characteristics of the design of the pyramid model in God’s reality without first being privy to the true nature of the City of God.

So far, we have learned that the base of the true Holy City, with (12,000² =) 144 million square light-years, is a measure of the dimensions of the galactic bulge. If we let the plane of the base cut through the center of the bulge, the black hole of the galactic center would be located exactly in the middle of the plane.

The 576 square light-years of the throne room is another value characteristic of the dimensions of the Orion Nebula, located in the galaxy’s so-called Orion Spur, which connects two of its four spiral arms.

Our own planet, Earth, revolves around a relatively small but long-lived yellow sun about 26,000 light-years (8 kpc) away from the galactic center, and it should somehow stand at the top of the pyramid because “the tabernacle of God” will be with the inhabitants of the New Earth.

The slant height of the true pyramid of God should also amount to 12,000 light-years according to our line of thinking. This value would allow us to fit it between the giant lamp and the earth, but it does not make much sense to draw it as shown below. There is no “square” object 12,000 light-years away and no boundaries for the four isosceles triangles that make up the outer walls of the pyramid.

In order to understand what God wants to represent with His pyramid model, we need to remember the spatial dimensions that once frightened us with their confusing cubes in cubes. Can you recall that I said that you should not even try to imagine the true “cube” object of the fourth, fifth, or sixth dimensions, because you can’t do it anyway? It looks completely different than its shadow does when cast on a lower dimension, and much of the information is distorted.

Then I explained to you that we have the book of nature, the universe, as a textbook in front of us, and that scientists fail to understand the nature of the higher dimensions because they can’t imagine that God reveals those things precisely there where they can look with their telescopes. They have the truth in mind, but they do not grasp it, even though they seem to study it. We, on the other hand, have easily understood that the fourth dimension means traveling within a galaxy, the fifth dimension, traveling among galaxies of a cluster, and the sixth dimension, traveling between clusters of galaxies or throughout the universe, because we know that God presents these things so they can be read directly from His book of nature. For every major distance gap that God shows us in the textbook, we needed a new dimension in order to cross it or fold space.

In order to understand the true nature of the “pyramid” of God, we must finally abandon the notion that the shadow it casts in the third dimension, appearing as a 2218 km pyramid, would have the same shape in the true dimension of God’s reality. It could be anything, just by no means a pyramid! It is the same as it is with all symbols: if we are to interpret the symbol of a burning mountain, then it can mean whatever—but it is certainly not a burning mountain!

The pyramid of the Holy City in Revelation 21 is just a shadow of a 4D object that we can only imagine when God reveals a picture of that object that we can grasp with our limited minds. Only if we understand this image and see it in front of us, then we can learn a host of other things by simply reading.

You’ve already seen it, but you didn’t yet understand it... Here is an artistic rendition of the true Holy City, since we can’t look at it from the outside, being that we live within one of its arms—or rather in the 3D projection of it... It is our home galaxy...

It also has a name. Through the millennia, many ancient peoples named it after its white glow on starlit nights, which the stars leave behind as a trail of light on the firmament:

THE MILKY WAY

This is the name of the Holy City, and being faced with that fact, we have to admit that we did not fully grasp the second part of the seal of Philadelphia:

Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name. (Revelation 3:12)

Are you surprised at the nature of the true Holy City, with its diameter of more than 100,000 light-years and the wonderful glow of the 100 to 400 billion stars that Jesus pointed to when He made the covenant with Abraham?

Is it not the biggest and most beautiful object that humans can take in with the naked eye, and is it not the object of the yearning of all people who love the stars?

Oh, that I had space to express my feelings, but time is pressing; I still have so much to tell you.

Now what path do you think Ellen G. White was talking about when the angel accompanied her in her first vision?

While I was praying at the family altar, the Holy Ghost fell upon me, and I seemed to be rising higher and higher, far above the dark world. I turned to look for the Advent people in the world, but could not find them, when a voice said to me, “Look again, and look a little higher.” At this I raised my eyes, and saw a straight and narrow path, cast up high above the world. On this path the Advent people were traveling to the city, which was at the farther end of the path. They had a bright light set up behind them at the beginning of the path, which an angel told me was the midnight cry. This light shone all along the path and gave light for their feet so that they might not stumble. If they kept their eyes fixed on Jesus, who was just before them, leading them to the city, they were safe. But soon some grew weary, and said the city was a great way off, and they expected to have entered it before. Then Jesus would encourage them by raising His glorious right arm, and from His arm came a light which waved over the Advent band, and they shouted, “Alleluia!” Others rashly denied the light behind them and said that it was not God that had led them out so far. The light behind them went out, leaving their feet in perfect darkness, and they stumbled and lost sight of the mark and of Jesus, and fell off the path down into the dark and wicked world below. Soon we heard the voice of God like many waters, which gave us the day and hour of Jesus’ coming. The living saints, 144,000 in number, knew and understood the voice, while the wicked thought it was thunder and an earthquake. When God spoke the time, He poured upon us the Holy Ghost, and our faces began to light up and shine with the glory of God, as Moses’ did when he came down from Mount Sinai. {EW 14.1}

Be careful not to stray from this path anymore, lest you fall down into the dark and wicked world. Stay on the path to the Holy City, the Milky Way!

The Outskirts of the City

Scientists believed for a long time that as a spiral galaxy, the Milky Way has four arms. Then came the belief, for a few years, that it had only two arms, but recently that view had to be revised again. Many scientific magazines, such as EarthSky, reported on this finding in 2013:

So, if Spitzer caused two of the galaxies spiral arms to go missing for awhile, at least in the minds of astronomers … now they’re back. Will other astronomers agree with this new result? We’ll see. In the meantime, astronomer Hoare said:

“Star formation researchers, like me, grew up with the idea that our galaxy has four spiral arms. It’s great that we have been able to reaffirm that picture.”

Many astronomers speak not only of the Milky Way as a “star-city,” but also of its arms as “neighborhoods” or “suburbs.” It would also be natural to consider its arms as rural areas and the inner bulge as a “city in a city.” Now we are finally able to put many of Ellen G. White’s or Ernie Knoll’s prophecies into the right context, because they both see a “city in the city.”

Of course, this will also all be reflected on the New Earth in an environment that is almost normal to us. So there will be a “New Jerusalem” on the earth too, and a real Mt. Zion. But both of those terms are also terms for their counterparts in the much greater reality—the Milky Way as a whole, and its bulge—where there must be something like a “Mt. Zion” as well; we will come to that later.

The arms of the Milky Way are also densely populated. Scientists speak of billions of planets per arm, and quite contrary to earlier fears, it has been found that even in the central bulge (the city in the city) where the stars are densely crowded, there are even more billions of planets with life, but they will never be dark because they are in the middle of the “lamp.”

And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. (Revelation 21:23)

Presumably, it will not be dark on the New Earth either, since we will take on a different nature and no longer need sleep. Then the veil of dust that shields the galactic center from our eyes, granting us the night, can be dispersed.

And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever. (Revelation 22:5)

The four neighborhoods or suburbs of the arms can also be thought of as residential blocks with houses, and then the streets of the city would be the spaces between the spirally-arranged blocks, and they are actually transparent as the bible says:

And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass. (Revelation 21:21)

The Bible seems to speak of only one street, and now we see why: the arms are spirals, and therefore it can be said in rough approximation that only one street runs between them. It would certainly have been misleading if the Bible had spoken of thousands of streets, as would have been expected for a huge city. The surprisingly simple explanation for the use of the word “street” is probably that the name “Milky Way” also refers to only one “street” or “way.”

But how is the city’s street golden? The next mystery of the Holy City is hidden in this term.

Gold is mentioned two other times in connection with the Holy City. Not only is its street made of gold, but so is the reed that the angel measures the city with:

And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof. (Revelation 21:15)

And even the city itself!

And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass. (Revelation 21:18)

While the transparency of the street between the arms, as well as the city itself, can easily be explained by the fact that the Milky Way is actually a transparent galaxy of stars that are light-years apart and you can see through their arms or even through the inner city, one is much harder pressed to recognize the reference to the so-called “golden ratio”—at least if you have no idea that the Holy City is the Milky Way, with its spiral arms.

In nature, there is a mathematical principle, which I would like to call the divine principle of growth and life, not to beat around the bush. Almost everything that lives, grows, and thrives, does so on this principle.

Let’s look at a few examples:

Here we see the spirals of the sunflower seeds, the snail shells, the hurricanes and even the DNA helix, the vital component of all living things. The spiral arms of our Milky Way are also based on this principle, the so-called Fibonacci series.

The principle is easy to explain: growth is achieved by always summing the previous two numbers. You start with two ones, and then it goes on from there and the numbers get bigger and bigger.

1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34 etc.

It is interesting to draw this number series as a series of squares, like in the middle of the picture at right, because then an ever-growing spiral is created.

Our Milky Way galaxy is a spiral, and its arms are called logarithmic spirals with a pitch (tangent angle) of 12 degrees. This is reminiscent of the 12 tribes, the 12 apostles, and the 12 gates.

The further you go in the Fibonacci series, the more precisely you approach a certain constant, which is obtained by dividing the last number with the one before it, as the numbers become larger.

In mathematics, this is the constant Φ (phi) and its value is 1.6180 (and as many more digits as one would like to compute, because the growth is infinite). This number is the “golden ratio,” or “golden section” or “golden mean” as it is also called: the constant of growth and life.

What would God’s “golden” city be, if it were not built according to this principle, which He employs everywhere life grows? Is there perhaps yet another important indication of this number, and thus the spiral arms of our Milky Way, in the biblical description of the city?

Earlier, I purposely refrained from calculating further...

When the Fibonacci series reaches the number 144 + 89 = 233, all fractions—no matter what number you start with after that—are exactly 233 ÷ 144 = 1.6180 up to the fourth decimal place. The following table shows how this principle is already inherent in the model, in all the components of the Holy City...

It’s not important to understand the table completely, just that you can see that the twelfth row (that is, the fraction where the number 144 represents the golden ratio) is already accurate to four decimal places, which is a sufficient representation for many calculations.

God especially mentioned and pointed out the number 144 in His blueprint of the model city:

And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel. (Revelation 21:17)

He makes it clear to us which part of the model city He represents the spiral arms of the Milky Way with: it is its wall, which we previously suspected to contain the decks of the city full of cabins with passengers. With a rough estimate, we came up with 36 billion passengers, or more if they are closer together.

We have to ask ourselves if we really understood the wall correctly, because neither the four base squares of the pyramid nor its four inner support triangles directly indicate the number Φ. Please remember that the inner triangles pointed to a different constant, namely the Root of “Three”!

Now you can understand why the number Φ occurs so often in the satanic Cheops pyramid and that it springs from the root of “one”! Satan wants to present himself as the origin of all life and thus to sit on the throne of Jesus. What blasphemy!

Therefore, the number Φ must be hidden somewhere in the geometry of God’s Holy City, and we already know that it must be in the wall of the city. We just have to search for that golden number, and when we find it, we know what God sees as the “wall of the city.”

There is a simple way to construct the number Φ from a special triangle with just a compass. In this case, the right triangle has only to meet the requirement that the two shorter legs have the relation s and s/2.

Then simply draw an arc with center C and radius BC to intersect the hypotenuse AC at point D. Draw an arc with center A and radius AD to intersect AB at point T. Then AB and AT are in the golden ratio Φ.

As a non-mathematician, all you have to do is look for a triangle in the model that meets the requirements for this construction: it must be a right triangle, and of the two short edges which are adjacent to the right angle, one must be exactly half the length of the other.

The inner triangles have two edges one of which is half the length of the other, but unfortunately one of them is the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) with a length of 12,000 furlongs, the other leg with a length of 6,000 furlongs. We are looking, however, for one or more right triangles where the two short legs have this ratio.

You’ve probably already seen it: they are the eight outer triangles we’ve thus far viewed as the transparent walls of the Holy City, which are also the projection screens for the 3D show. Each of them has one leg formed by the 12,000-furlong slant height of the pyramid and another leg of 6,000 furlongs, exactly half the length of the base. The hypotenuse is the oblique outer edge of the pyramid. If a person looks at God’s model city, the first thing they see is the number of life: Φ. Going into it, one sees the Tree of Life with the Root of the Three Divine Persons. What harmony!

The same principle is intrinsic in the Milky Way: viewed from the outside, one first recognizes that it is a spiral galaxy whose arms represent the golden ratio. If you go into the city in the city, the bulge, and up to the center, you will find the black hole behind which the three Persons of the Godhead reside. The root of the Milky Way is in its center, and we know it is Three.

Now it becomes clear why the angel with the golden reed measured the outer dimensions of the pyramid, because they are all related to each other in the golden ratio.

Still, we need to more closely examine which part of the model God really sees as a symbol of the galaxy’s spiral arms. We certainly were not entirely wrong in understanding the thin, 144-royal-cubit-high decks as a wall full of life, like the surfaces of the tribes that stand upon them. However, we have not had much use for the four vast spaces bounded by the inner and outer walls, which represent our projection units. Each of the four volumes contains both sacred numbers: the Root of Three as the trunk of the tree of life, and its four great branches... the spiral arms of our Milky Way, full of life: Φ.

There is a special tree in mathematics, invented by the Dutch mathematics teacher Albert E. Bosman in 1942 and named after the famous philosopher Pythagoras: the Pythagoras tree. It is a self-similar Mandelbrot-like fractal tree made up of squares and right triangles, often with the golden ratio. Squares and right triangles are also the building blocks of the model of the Holy City, but the triangles of the Pythagoras tree do not normally have exactly our aspect ratios.

Therefore, our Brother Robert wrote a program that uses our triangles in a Pythagoras tree, and we checked to see if either the inner or outer triangles led to something akin to the Milky Way’s spiral arms. Here are the three results, comparing the shape of the arms of the Milky Way as red and blue lines, which correspond to the scientists’ description of them as being logarithmic spirals with a pitch of 12 degrees.

First, a comparison with the special Pythagoras tree with triangle legs of exactly the golden ratio (1:1.6180):

You can clearly see how the farther you go inward, the tree runs out of the lines of the Milky Way. That’s not a very good result.

Next we see a tree using the inner support triangles of God’s model pyramid (legs with ratio 1:):

The result seems to be a little better, but here too the tree runs out of the lines as it goes inward.

And last but not least, a comparison with the outer triangles of the “wall” (leg ratio 1:2), which in themselves represent the construction plan for the golden section:

Praise the Lord! The result is clear: the Pythagoras tree, built with the outer triangles, shows the exact development of a Milky Way spiral arm, or the entire Milky Way, even when you follow the spiral to the very inside. This incredible match, of the tree that can be built from the squares of the Holy City’s base plate and the outer triangles of the wall, is another wonderful demonstration that the architecture of the model pyramid is in line with the divine reality in the Milky Way.

If you look closely at the Milky Way, you can bring two biblical models into perfect harmony with its appearance.

From the brightly lit bulge of the Milky Way where the throne of God is located, and which “sparkles” like crystal, the “river of water of life” emanates from both sides (see the innermost arms, namely the near and far 3kpc arms).

And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. (Revelation 22:1)

This river later divides into four rivers, the spiral arms, as already indicated by the four squares of the pyramid’s base, because they must be “watered.” This corresponds in many ways to the account of the Garden of Eden, and therefore we can know what God meant now, since He will soon allow us to come in again:

And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads. The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold; And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone. And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia. And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates. (Genesis 2:9-14)

The Bible tells us that on each side of the river of the water of life stands one of the trunks of the tree of life.

In the midst of the street of it [in the middle of the Milky Way], and on either side of the river [the near and far 3 kpc arms], was there the tree of life [the spiral arms as branches], which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. (Revelation 22:2)

The galactic bar that the bulge is located in the middle of, represents two huge trunks of the tree of life (on either side of the bulge), one representing the Father and the other the Son. These two trunks bear a total of four large branches, the spiral arms of the galaxy, on which grow leaves (stars and planets with animal and plant life) and fruits (stars with planets inhabited by intelligent beings). The Holy Spirit of God fills the entire Milky Way with wisdom and love. The ambassadors of the Milky Way are the angels of the Lord of Life. Through them, God’s love and counsel are made known throughout the whole universe.
