[8]  The Structure of the Kingdom of God: New Jerusalem and the Great Crowd of Revelation 7:9 and Revelation 19:6

New Jerusalem

Now Jerusalem was the ruling city of the nation of Israel. So a 'New Jerusalem coming down out of heaven' symbolises a heavenly rulership over God's people applying to the earth. So the kings who rule with the Christ are in heaven and are therefore angels, and their subjects are on the earth. The husband is Jesus, and his wife is all of the kings as a group who rule with Christ for 1,000 years as mentioned in Revelation 20:4, who are the true saints of the New Covenant that Jesus made at the last supper:

29 And I make a covenant with you, just as my Father has made a covenant with me, for a kingdom, 
30 that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones to judge the twelve tribes of Israel (Luke 22).

The bible uses the marriage agreement between a husband and a wife, to symbolise agreements or covenants between God and his people. The 1st new covenant saints, being Jesus’ wife, live with him in heaven as angels. He takes his wife home to his place.

The precise administrative structure of the kingdom as we presently understand it is...

Jesus is also a God of the Kingdom and his wife the 1NC kings is the holy spirit of the Kingdom of God, which is the 3rd Holy Spirit Covenant (3HSC). Just as the HLC produces heavenly Lords, so the ELC produces earthly Lords. 

Paul and his sons are the firstborn Lords. So Paul will be the head Lord, the Lord of Lords, the head bureaucrat in the Kingdom. The Kingdom equivalent of Humphrey in the UK TV series, Yes Minister, the head of the civil service, the chief bureaucrat. 

So the 2NC kings are all in subjection to their angelic 1NC heads, half of whom have had 1,900 years of angelic life. And the ELC earthly Lords (who will have had 1,900 years of life on Eden2?) will be in subjection to their HLC heads, many of whom (form the Gad call - see U42) have likewise had 2,000 years of angelic life.   

The 144,000 1NC and 2NC FRC and 2NC OMC Kings run 144,000 independent kingdoms (3 kings to a kingdom). This is the complete opposite of the UN or the EU or the AU. It is more like the USA used to be before the Federal government corrupted everything.

The Patriarchs such as Abraham Isaac Jacob Joseph Moses David etc are all sons of the JAC but their kingships are in the 2nd Eden , not the 3rd. Eden3 is the Kingdom of God that Jesus preached. 

The rulership arrangement will not end after 1,000 years for the scripture says...

5 And night shall not be there, and they have no need of a lamp and light of a sun, because the Lord God doth give them light, and they shall reign -- to the ages of the ages (YLT Revelation 22).

More specifically on earth the administrative structure is as follows...

Paul is the Lord of Lords. He has a Lordship over all the Overlords presumably. There will be an interkingdom structure, a Kingdom of Kingdoms structure under Gordon. Paul will be administrative head of that

We end up as the wife of Gabriel who possessed Methuselah when we become the 5th Holy Spirit after the Kingdom has ended. We are after all sealed into the ARC, i.e. baptized into the name of the holy spirit. 

The Great Crowd of Revelation 7:9 and of Revelation 19:6

On Monday Nisan10 33 CE (March 27th 33AD), Palm Monday, Jesus came to Jerusalem and a great crowd was there to greet him, many of whom had seen him resurrect Lazarus. In fact the chief priests were so worried by this development they took counsel to kill Lazarus! A man whom Jesus had resurrected! Blindness in the extreme, deliberate blind power politics. The account reads:

9 Therefore a great crowd of the Jews got to know he was there, and they came, not on account of Jesus only, but also to see Lazarus, whom he raised up from the dead.
10 The chief priests now took counsel to kill Lazarus also, 
11because on account of him many of the Jews were going there and putting faith in Jesus.
12 The next day the great crowd that had come to the festival, on hearing that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, took the branches of palm trees and went out to meet him. And they began to shout: Save, we pray you! Blessed is he that comes in the Lord's name, even the king of Israel! (John 12).

This really was Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem on Palm Monday 33Nisan10. This was the recognition by the Jews that Jesus was to be their king. Even the young boys cried out: 'Save we pray son of David' and when the Pharisees, who missed the beauty in everything only having eyes for their own status in front of the crowd, complained to him he said:

16 Did you never read this: Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings you have furnished praise (Matthew 21).

Now in Revelation, the apostle John saw in vision the following:

9 After these things I saw [a new subaccount], and, look! a great crowd, which no one was able to number, out of every nation [pantoV is singular referring only to nation]  [4 true Christian religions] and [out of] tribes [12 Tribes of all the water baptisms] and [out of] peoples [Peoples from Noah to Babel] and [out of] tongues [From Babel to Israel. The confusing of the languages of Babel occurred in 2233Sivan, 2 Prophetic Times before the Law in 1513Sivan see Revelation 18 and Genesis 11:6 and into15], standing before the throne and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes [righteous in flesh]; and there were palm branches in their hands [sons of a true religion - peacemakers. This is EVERYONE IN THE CRC - All the priests of Eden2 and of Eden3?? The dead in Christ shall rise first].  

9 After these things I saw [a new subaccount], and, look! a great crowd, which no one was able to number, out of every nation [pantoV is singular referring only to nation]  [Christian church] and [out of] tribes [12 Tribes of all the water baptisms] and [out of] peoples [Peoples from Noah to Babel] and [out of] tongues [Language], standing before the throne and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes [righteous in flesh - robes UPON their flesh]; and there were palm branches in their hands [FRCs].  
10 And they keep on crying with a loud voice [to everyone including John], saying: Salvation [we owe] to the God of us [Jehovah, the great crowd is not only Christian. It is all the FRCs], the [one] sitting on the throne, and to the Lamb.  
11 And all the angels had stood [pluperfect] in a circle [kuklw dative, literally 'in circle of' and 'circle' is a noun] the throne and the elders and the 4 living beings, and they fell upon their faces before the throne and worshipped God,  
12 saying: Amen! The blessing and the glory and the wisdom and the thanksgiving and the honour and the power and the strength [be] to our God forever and ever. Amen.  
13 And in response one out of the elders said to me: These [particular ones], the [ones] dressed in the robes, the white [This does make sense singly due to verse 9. But not said to have palm branches in their hands - omission principle] who are they and where did they come from?

This question does not apply to all of those in white robes because all the elders fell down to worship God as a result of the entire group crying that they owe their salvation to the God of us, the on sitting on the throne. It is a specific subgroup of them.

14 So right away I said to him: My lord, you are the one that knows [Event: John talking to an angel/messenger/president of TCC2. Word1: Gordon talking to a 1NC apostle]. And he said to me: These are the ones that come out of the tribulation, the great [not a double designation. Does not make sense singly] and they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb [The Blood of the OMC actually. They are sealed into the OMC in the present fulfilment].  

15 Through this they are in sight of/before [evnw,pion equivalent to o` evn wvpi w;n, one who is in sight] the throne of the God [2x.1x: In the ark], and they are rendering service to him of day and of night in the divine habitation of him [2x+2x=4x] [So they are either priests or in the outer courtyard. they are worshippers] either priests or in the outer courtyard. they are worshippers] either priests or in the outer courtyard. they are worshippers] either priests or in the outer courtyard. they are worshippers] either priests or in the outer courtyard. they are worshippers] either priests or in the outer courtyard. they are worshippers], and the (one) sitting upon the throne [2x] will tent upon them [2x]. 

To render service in the temple you must be a worshipper. So you must be obeying the 1st law. so you are an FRC not an OMC. You do not have to be officiating at the altar as a priest. 

20 Be praying but in order that not should occur the flight of you of winter and not to Sabbath; (Matthew 24 KIT)
20 proseucesqe de ina mh genhtai h fugh umwn ceimwnoj mhde sabbatw (Matthew 24 VatB)

And the flight of the Laodicean (Judean) 2NCs to the ark from 2022Chislev15-19 precedes Greek winter from the winter solstice on 2022Chislev24 (2022December21 at 21:35). 

16 Not they will hunger yet/further [2x] not-but they will thirst yet/further [2x], not-but not should fall upon them the sun [0x/1x+2x] not-but all/any burning heat [0x+2x],
17 because the Lamb [1x], the (one) up [ana] middle/midst [meosj] of the throne [1x] will shepherd them [2x], and will guide them upon of life fountains of waters [2x+2x=4x. Apostles] and will wipe out the God every tear out of the eyes of them [2x.2x.2x=8x]. (Revelation 7 KIT)

Verse 14 from And he said to me - 17: 2x+(2x+2x).(2x.1x+4x+2x.2x)+(2x+2x+2x+2x).1x.1x.(2x+4x)+2x.2x.2x = 40x+48x+8x = 96x????

So the Great Crowd of Revelation 7:9 are the ark raptured 4ECs and the FRCs. All those saved by rapture out of the Great Tribulation into the ark in fact. They are NOT the OMCs who are resurrected into the ark or the last chance salooners who are resurrected back into the kingdom. So Rutherford was not so far out.

15 Through this they are in sight of/before the throne of God; and they are rendering him sacred service day and night in his temple [So they are priests]; and the One seated on the throne will spread his tent over them.  
16 They will hunger no more nor thirst anymore, neither will the sun beat down upon them nor any scorching heat,  
17 because the Lamb, the [one] in the midst of the throne, will shepherd them, and will guide them to fountains of waters of life [not fountains of baptisms, for the great crowd have already made their robes white in the blood of the lamb, but teachings which are necessary for everlasting life]. And God will wipe out every tear from their eyes (Revelation 7).  

All the heaven bound sanctified people from Adam to Armageddon are resurrected as angels not long after they die. All the sanctified earth bound people and the water baptised Christians from Peter to Armageddon are friends of the Groom, Jesus, having joy at his voice, and so are invited to the marriage of the lamb, and so are resurrected during the rapture to attend the evening meal of God, which is the spectacle of mankind's futile power games causing his self annihilation. This is not the evening meal of the lamb's marriage. This perhaps is why Jesus, the groom, said...

19 And Jesus said to them: While the bridegroom is with them the friends of the bridegroom cannot fast, can they? As long as they have the bridegroom with them they cannot fast.
20 But days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast in that day (Mark 2).

Obviously you invite your friends to your marriage feast, those in the true church who are alive at the time. But more, these friends, who are priests, get invited to the evening meal of God (if they have finished their testing so that said testing in hot short circuited) as we read in Revelation 19. Whereas all the faithful people in the FRC are resurrected into the Kingdom in accordance with the resurrection timetables for the pre-flood and Abrahamic systems. The timetable for the 1AC is covered in U102.
