2024.02.08 ETI Bible Version – The Final Quest with Commentary and Mark-Up – Ch 4 added-- available to read Online Created by James on 2/24/2024 1:20:19 PM Following on from my previous messages about the Final Quest I have now added correct words and commentary to Chapter 4 together with mark-up of the passages that I consider most important. These are available to read on the website or download in pdf or Word docx format.
The visions of Rick Joyner reported in The Final Quest, are arguably the most important visions recorded in the 20th Century and quite possibly the most important visions on record (including the Bible). In particular the visions of the Throne Room and the Judgment in Chapter 5 contain information that is critically important to every human being on Earth today. Effectively as close to modern Scripture as I have encountered.

Following on from my previous messages about the Final Quest I have now added correct words and commentary to Chapter 4 together with mark-up of the passages that I consider most important. These are available to read on the website or download in pdf or Word docx format.
The visions of Rick Joyner reported in The Final Quest, are arguably the most important visions recorded in the 20th Century and quite possibly the most important visions on record (including the Bible). In particular the visions of the Throne Room and the Judgment in Chapter 5 contain information that is critically important to every human being on Earth today. Effectively as close to modern Scripture as I have encountered.
For this reason I have added The Final Quest as a third component of my rendering of the Bible – I regard it as being at least as important as the Bible in the present age. I have read the physical book at least ten times as an extension of my Bible study and have given away dozens of copies over the years. I have also written a number of articles drawing on what I have learned from these writings. In particular, “2024.01.03 Where will YOU Spend Eternity? With Commentary on The Final Quest -- Third Edition” [ETIV 35] is important collateral reading.
The introduction is available online – click here
The Final Quest, with commentary on Chapters 1 to 4, is available online – click here -- if you have not read this book, I strongly recommend that you do as soon as possible, it really is extremely important.
The text of Chapter 4 with mark-up and commentary is included below, note that the footnotes will be difficult to follow so the on-line version, pdf or docx versions are recommended.
I aim to add commentary and mark-up weekly so suggest that at this stage you only read chapters 1 through 3.

You are free to use this material any way you choose subject only to consideration of what you will face on the Day of your Judgment.
To the extent that it may be alleged that I have infringed the copyright of Rick Joyner it is my contention that these visions were a free gift from Yah and, just as I waive copyright for my material, Joyner should waive copyright on this material. I have made several attempts to contact Morning Star Ministries with no success.
Text chapter 4
Chapter 4.1 -- Part III, The Return of the Eagles
"Did you not see the battle that just took place?" 1 I asked with as much irritation as I dared to express. 2 "Couldn't you have helped those warriors that were just taken captive?"
3 “Yes. 4 We saw it all, and we could have helped if they had wanted our help. 5 We would have helped them by holding them back, telling them to sit and be still. 6 But we can only fight in the battles that the Father commands, and we can only help those who believe in us. 7 Only those who receive us as who we are, the prophets [Spokesmen], can receive the prophet’s [Spokesman's] reward, or the benefit of our services. 8 Those who were ambushed did not yet have the mantle that you are wearing, and those who do not have that mantle cannot understand who we are. 9 We all need one another, including these here who are still wounded, and many others who you do not yet know."
10 On the horizon I saw a great white cloud approaching. 11 Hope rose in me just by seeing it. 12 Soon it had filled the atmosphere with hope just as the sun rising chases away the darkness of night. 13 As it grew closer I recognized the great white eagles that had flown from the Tree of Life. 14 They began landing on the Mountain, taking their place on every level beside the companies of warriors.
15 I carefully approached the eagle who had landed near me because his presence was so awesome. 16 When he looked at me with his penetrating eyes, I knew I could hide nothing from him. 17 His eyes were so fierce and resolute that I trembled as chills ran through me just from looking at them. 18 Before I could even ask, he answered me.
19 “You want to know who we are. 20 We are the hidden prophets [Spokesmen and Spokeswomen] who have been kept for this hour. 21 We are the eyes of those who have been given the divinely powerful weapons. 22 We have been shown all that the Lord [Yah the Eternally Self-Existing] is doing, and all that the enemy is planning against you. 23 We have scoured the earth and together we know all that needs to be known for the battle."
Chapter 4.2 -- The Heart Of The Eagle
1 As I talked to the eagle I started to think like him. 2 After this short discussion I could see into the eagle's heart and I could know him like he knew me. 3 The eagle recognized this.
4 "You have some of our gifts," the eagle noted, "though they are not very well developed. 5 You have not used them much. 6 I am here to awaken these gifts in you, and many others like you, and I will teach you how to use them. 7 In this way our communication will be sure. 8 It must be sure or we will all suffer many unnecessary losses, not to mention missing many great opportunities for victory."
"Where did you just come from?" 9 I asked.
10 "We eat snakes," the eagle replied. 11 "The enemy is bread for us. 12 Our sustenance comes from doing the Father's will, which is to destroy the works of the devil. 13 Every snake that we eat helps to increase our vision. 14 Every stronghold of the enemy that we tear down strengthens us so we can soar higher and stay in the air longer. 15 We have just come from a feast, devouring the serpents of Shame who have bound many of your brothers and sisters. 16 They will be here soon. 17 They are coming with the eagles we left behind to help them find the way, and to protect them from the enemy's counterattacks."
18 These eagles were very sure of themselves, but not cocky. 19 They knew who they were, and what they were called to do. 20 They also knew us and they knew the future [Yah’s plans]. 21 Their confidence was reassuring to me, but even more so to the wounded that were still lying all around us. 22 Those who had recently been too weak to talk, were actually sitting up listening to my conversation with the eagle. 23 They looked at him like lost children would look to their parents who had just found them.
Chapter 4.3 -- The Wind of the Spirit
1 When the eagle looked upon the wounded his countenance changed as well. 2 In place of the fierce resolution I had stood before, toward the wounded he was like a soft, compassionate old grandfather. 3 The eagle opened his wings and began to gently flap them, stirring up a cool refreshing breeze that flowed over the wounded. 4 It was unlike any other breeze I had ever felt before. 5 With each breath I was gaining strength and clarity of mind. 6 Soon the wounded were standing and worshipping God [Yah] with a sincerity that brought tears to my eyes.
7 Again I felt a profound shame at having scorned those who stayed on this level. 8 They had seemed so weak and foolish to those of us who were ascending the Mountain, but they had endured much more than we had and they remained Faithful Emet. 9 God [Yah] had kept them and they Loved [Cheseded] Him with a great Love [Chesed].
10 I looked up at the Mountain. 11 All of the eagles were gently flapping their wings. 12 Everyone on the Mountain was being refreshed by the breeze they were stirring up, and they all began to worship the Lord [Yah the Eternally Self-Existing]. 13 At first there was some discord between the worship that was coming from the different levels, but after a time everyone on every level was singing in perfect harmony.
14 Never on earth had I heard anything that beautiful. 15 I never wanted it to end. 16 Soon I recognized it as the same worship that we had known in the Garden, but now it sounded even more rich and full. 17 I knew that it was because we were worshipping in the very presence of our enemies, in the midst of such darkness and evil that surrounding/he Mountain, that it seemed so much more beautiful.
18 I do not know how long this worship lasted, but eventually the eagles stopped flapping their wings and it stopped. 19 "Why did you stop?" 20 I asked the eagle that I had been talking with.
21 "Because they are now whole," he replied, indicating the wounded who were now all standing and who appeared to be in perfect condition. 22 "True worship can heal any wound," he added.
23 "Please do it again," I begged.
24 "We will do this many times, but it is not for us to decide when. 25 The breeze that you felt was the Holy [Set-Apart] Spirit. 26 He directs us; we do not direct Him. 27 He has healed the wounded and has begun to bring about the unity that is required for the battles ahead. 28 True worship also pours the precious oil upon the Head, Jesus [Yahooshua], which then flows down over the entire body, making us one with Him and with each other. 29 No one who comes into union with Him will remain wounded or unclean. 30 His blood is pure life, and it flows when we are joined to Him. 31 When we are joined to Him we are also joined to the rest of the body, so that His blood flows through all. 32 Is that not how you heal a wound to your body, by closing the wound so that the blood can flow to the wounded member to bring regeneration? 33 When a part of His body is wounded, we must join in unity with that part until it is fully restored. 34 We are all one."
35 In the euphoria still left from the worship, this brief teaching seemed almost esoteric, yet I knew that it was very basic. 36 When the Holy [Set-Apart] Spirit moved every word seemed glorious, regardless of how elementary it was. 37 I was so filled with Love [Chesed] that I wanted to hug everyone, including the fierce old eagles.
38 Then, like a jolt, I remembered the mighty warriors who had just been captured. 39 The eagle sensed this but did not say anything. 40 He just watched me intently. 41 Finally, I spoke up, "Can we recover those who were just lost?"
Chapter 4.4 -- The Heart of the King
1 "Yes. 2 It is right for you to feel what you do," the eagle finally said. 3 "We are not complete, and our worship is not complete, until the whole body is restored. 4 Even in the most glorious worship, even in the very presence of the King, we will all feel this emptiness until all are one, because our King also feels it. 5 We all grieve for our brothers in bondage, but we grieve even more for the heart of our King. 6 Though you Love [Chesed] all of your children, you would be grieved for the one that was sick or wounded. 7 He, too, Loves [Cheseds] all of His children, but the wounded and oppressed have most of His attention now.
8 For His sake we must not quit until all have been recovered. 9 As long as any are wounded, He is wounded."
Chapter 4.5 -- Faith [Emunah] to Move the Mountain
1 Sitting down by the eagle, I pondered his words. 2 Finally I asked, "I know that Wisdom now speaks to me through you, because I hear His voice when you speak. 3 I was so sure of myself before that last battle, but I was almost carried away with the same presumption that they were carried away with, and could very easily have been captured with them if Wisdom had not stopped me. 4 I was motivated more by hatred for the enemy than by the desire to set my brothers free. 5 Since first coming to this Mountain, and fighting in the great battle, I now think that most of the right things I did, I did for the wrong reasons, and many of the wrong things I did, I had good motives for. 6 The more I learn, the more unsure of myself I feel."
7 "You must have been with Wisdom a long time," the eagle responded.
8 "He was with me a long time before I began to recognize Him, but I am afraid that most of that time I was resisting Him. 9 Somehow I now know that I am still lacking something very important, something that I must have before I go into battle again, but I do not know what it is."
10 The great eagle's eyes became even more penetrating as he responded, "You also know the voice of Wisdom when He speaks to you in your own heart. 11 You are learning well because you have the mantle. 12 What you are feeling now is the true Faith [Emunah]."
"Faith [Emunah]?" 13 I shot back. 14 "I'm talking about serious doubts!"
15 "You are wise to doubt yourself. 16 But true Faith [Emunah] depends on God [Yah], not yourself, and not your Faith [Emunah]. 17 You are close to the kind of Faith [Emunah] that can move this Mountain, and move it we must. 18 It is time to carry it to places where it has not traveled before. 19 However, you are right. 20 You are still lacking something very important. 21 You must yet have a revelation. 22 Even though you have climbed to the top of the Mountain, and received from every truth along the way, and even though you have stood in the Garden of God [Yah], tasted of His unconditional Love [Chesed], and have seen His Son many times now, you still understand only a part of the whole counsel of God [Yah], and that only superficially."
23 I knew that this was so true that it was actually comforting to hear it. 24 "I have judged so many people and so many situations wrongly. 25 Wisdom has saved my life many times now, but the voice of Wisdom is still a very small voice within me, and the clamor of my own thoughts and feelings are still far too loud. 26 I hear Wisdom speaking through you much louder than I hear Him in my own heart, so I know I must stay very close to you."
27 "We are here because you need us," the eagle replied. 28 "We are also here because we need you. 29 You have been given gifts that I do not have, and I have been given gifts that you do not have. 30 You have experienced things that I have not experienced, and I have experienced things that you have not. 31 The eagles have been given to you until the end, and you have been given to us. 32 I will be very close to you for a time, an then you must receive other eagles in my place. 33 Every eagle is different. 34 It is together, not individually, that we have been given to know the secrets of the Lord [Yah the Eternally Self-Existing]."
Chapter 4.6 -- The Doors Of Truth
1 The eagle then rose up from the rock on which he had perched, and he soared over to the edge of the level on which we stood. 2 "Come," he said. 3 As I approached him I saw steps that led down to the very base of the Mountain, and a small door.
"Why have I not seen this before?" 4 I asked.
5 "When you first came to the Mountain you did not stay on this level long enough to look around," he answered.
6 "How did you know that? 7 Were you here when I first came to the Mountain?"
8 "I would have known if I had not been here, because all who miss this door do so for the same reason, but in fact I was here," he responded. 9 "I was one of the soldiers you so quickly passed on your way up the Mountain."
10 It was then that I recognized the eagle as a man whom I had met soon after my conversion, whom I had actually had a few conversations with. 11 He continued, "I wanted badly to follow you then. 12 I had been on this level for so long that I needed a change. 13 I just could not leave all of the lost souls that I was still trying to lead here. 14 When I finally committed myself to doing the Lord’s [Yah the Eternally Self-Existing]'s will, whether it was to stay or go, Wisdom appeared to me and showed me this door. 15 He said it was a shortcut to the top. 16 That is how I got to the top before you did. 17 There I was changed into an eagle."
18 I then remembered that I had seen doors like this on a couple of the levels. 19 I had even peeked into one of them and remember how amazed I had been at what I saw. 20 I did not venture very far into it because I was so focused on the battle and on trying to get to the top of the Mountain. 21 "Could I have entered any of those doors and gone right to the top?" 22 I asked.
23 "It is not quite that easy," the eagle remarked, seeming a little irritated. 24 "In every door there are passageways, one of which leads to the top." 25 Anticipating my next question, he continued. 26 "The other ones lead to the other levels on the Mountain. 27 The Father designed each passageway so that everyone would choose that which his level of maturity dictated."
28 "Incredible! 29 How did He do that?" 30 I thought to myself, but the eagle heard my thoughts.
31 "It was very simple," continued the eagle as if I had spoken my thoughts out loud. 32 "Spiritual maturity is always determined by our willingness to sacrifice our own desires for the interests of the kingdom, or for the sake of others. 33 The door that requires the most sacrifice to enter will always take us to the highest level."
34 I was trying to remember all that the eagle was saying to me. 35 I knew that I must enter the door before me, and that would be wise for me to learn all that I could from someone who had preceded me and had obviously chosen the correct door to the top.
36 "I did not go directly to the top, and I haven't met anyone who has," the eagle continued. 37 "But I went there much faster than most because I had learned so much about self- sacrifice while fighting here on the level of Salvation. 38 I have shown you this door because you wear the mantle and would have found it anyway, but the time is short and I am here to help you mature quickly."
39 "There are doors on every level, and every one leads to treasures that are beyond your comprehension," he continued. 40 "They cannot be acquired physically, but every treasure that you hold in your hands you will be able to carry in your heart. 41 Your heart is meant to be the treasure house of God [Yah]. 42 By the time you reach the top again, your heart will contain treasures more valuable than all of the treasures of the earth. 43 They will never be taken from you, but they are yours for eternity. 44 Go quickly. 45 The storm clouds are now gathering, and another great battle is looming."
“Will you go with me?" 46 I pleaded.
47 "No," he responded. 48 "This is where I belong now. 49 I must help these who were wounded. 50 But I will see you here again. 51 You will meet many of my brother and sister eagles before you return, and they will be able to help you better than I at the place where you meet them."
Chapter 4.7 -- The Treasures of Heaven
1 I already Loved [Cheseded] the eagle so much that I could hardly stand to leave him. 2 I was glad to know I would see him again. 3 Now the door was drawing me like a magnet. 4 I opened it and entered.
5 The glory that I beheld was so stunning that I immediately fell to my knees. 6 The gold, silver and precious stones were far more beautiful than can be described. 7 They actually rivaled the glory of the Tree of Life. 8 The room was so large that it seemed to be without end. 9 The floor was silver, the pillars, gold, and the ceiling was a single pure diamond that reflected every color I had ever known and many that I had not known. 10 Angels [Messengers] without number were all around, dressed in different robes and uniforms that were of no earthly origin.
11 As I began to walk through the room, the angels [Messengers] all bowed in salute. 12 One stepped forward and welcomed me by name. 13 He explained that I could go anywhere and see anything that I wanted in the room. 14 Nothing was withheld from those who came through the door.
15 I was so overwhelmed by the beauty that I could not even speak. 16 I finally remarked that this was even more beautiful than the Garden had been. 17 Surprised, the angel [Messenger] responded, "This is the Garden! 18 This is one of the rooms in your Father's house. 19 We are your servants."
20 As I walked, a great company of angels [Messengers] followed me. 21 I turned and asked the leader why they were following "Because of the mantle," he said. 22 “We have been given to you, to serve you here and in the battle to come."
23 I did not know what to do with the angels [Messengers] so I just continued walking. 24 I was attracted to a large blue stone that appeared to have the sun and clouds inside of it. 25 When I touched it the same feelings flooded over me as when I had eaten the fruit of the Tree of Life. 26 I felt energy, unearthly mental clarity, and Love [Chesed] for everyone and everything being magnified. 27 I started to behold the glory of the Lord [Yah the Eternally Self-Existing]. 28 The longer I touched the stone the more the glory increased. 29 I never wanted to take my hand off of the stone, but the glory became so intense that finally I had to draw away.
30 Then my eyes fell on a beautiful green stone. 31 “What does that one have in it?" 32 I asked the angel [Messenger] standing nearby.
33 "All of these stones are the treasures of salvation. 34 You are now touching the heavenly realm, and that one is the restoration of life," he continued.
35 As I touched the green stone I began to see the earth in rich and spectacular colors. 36 They grew in richness the longer I had my hand on the stone, and my Love [Chesed] for all that I saw also grew. 37 Then I began to see a harmony between all living things on a level that I had never seen before. 38 Then I began to see the glory of the Lord [Yah the Eternally Self-Existing] in the creation. 39 It began to grow until again I had to step away because of the intensity.
40 I realized that I had no idea how long I had been there. 41 I did know that my comprehension of God [Yah] and His universe had grown substantially by just touching these two stones, and there were many, many more to touch. 42 There was more in that one room than a person could have absorbed in a whole lifetime. 43 "How many more rooms are there?" 44 I asked the angel [Messenger].
"There are rooms like this on every level of the Mountain that you climbed."
"How can one ever experience all that is in just one of these rooms, much less all of them?" 45 I asked.
46 "You have forever to do this. 47 The treasures contained in the most basic truths of the Lord [Yah the Eternally Self-Existing] Jesus [Yah not Yahooshua] are enough to last for more lifetimes than you can measure. 48 No man can know all that there is to know about any of them in just one life, but you must take what you need and keep proceeding toward your destiny."
49 I started thinking about the impending battle again, and the warriors who had been captured. 50 It was not a pleasant thought in such a glorious place, but I knew I would have forever to come back to this room; I had only a short time to find my way back to the top of the Mountain, and then back to the battlefront again.
51 I turned back to the angel [Messenger]. 52 "You must help me find the door that leads to the top."
53 The angel [Messenger] looked perplexed. 54 "We are your servants," he responded, "but you must lead us. 55 This whole Mountain is a mystery to us. 56 We all desired to look into this great mystery, but after we leave this room of which we have come to know just a little, we will be learning even more than you."
"Do you know where all of the doors are?" 57 I asked. 58 "Yes. 59 But we do not know where they lead. 60 There are some that look very inviting, and some that are plain, and some that are actually repulsive. 61 One is even terrible."
"In this place there are doors that are repulsive?" 62 I asked in disbelief. 63 "And one that is terrible? 64 How can that be?"
65 "We do not know, but I can show it to you," he responded.
66 "Please do," I said.
67 We walked for quite a while, passing treasures of unspeakable glory, all of which were difficult to bypass. 68 There were also many doors, with different biblical truths over each one. 69 When the angel [Messenger] had called them "inviting" I felt that he had quite understated their appeal. 70 I badly wanted to go through each one, but my curiosity about the "terrible door" kept me moving.
71 Then I saw it. 72 "Terrible" had also been an understatement. 73 Fear gripped me until I thought that it would take my breath away.
Chapter 4.8 -- Grace and Truth
1 I turned away from that door and retreated fast. 2 There was a beautiful red stone nearby, which I almost lunged at to lay my hands on it. 3 Immediately I was in the Garden of Gethsemane beholding the Lord [Yah the Eternally Self-Existing] in prayer. 4 The agony I beheld was even more terrible than the door I had just seen. 5 Shocked, I jerked my hand away from the stone and fell to the floor in exhaustion. 6 I wanted so badly to return to the blue or green stones, but I had to regather my energy and my sense of direction. 7 The angels [Messengers] were quickly all around me serving me. 8 I was given a drink that began to revive me. 9 Soon I was feeling well enough to stand and begin walking back to the other stones. 10 However, the recurring vision of the Lord [Adonay = Yahooshua] praying finally compelled me to stop.
"What was that back there?" 11 I asked.
12 "When you touch the stones we are able to see a little of what you see, and feel a little of what you feel," said the angel [Messenger]. 13 "We know that all of these stones are great treasures, and all of the revelations they contain are priceless. 14 We beheld for a moment the agony of the Lord [Adonay = Yahooshua] before His crucifixion [execution], and we felt briefly what He felt that terrible night. 15 It is hard for us to understand how our God [mighty one = Yahooshua] could ever suffer like that. 16 It makes us appreciate much more what an honor it is to serve the men for whom He paid such a terrible price."
17 The angels’ [Messengers] words were like lightning bolts straight to my soul. 18 I had fought in the great battle. 19 I had climbed to the top of the Mountain. 20 I had become so familiar with the spiritual realm that I hardly noticed angels [Messengers] anymore, and I could speak on nearly equal terms with the great eagles. 21 Yet I could not bear to share even a moment of the sufferings of the Lord [Adonay = Yahooshua] without wanting to flee to a more pleasurable experience. 22 "I should not be here," I almost shouted. 23 "I, more than anyone, deserve to be a prisoner of the evil one!"
24 "Sir," the angel [Messenger] said apprehensively. 25 "We understand that no one is here because he deserves it. 26 You are here because you were chosen before the foundation of the world for a purpose. 27 We do not know what your specific purpose is, but we know that it is very great for everyone on this Mountain."
28 "Thank you. 29 You are helpful. 30 My emotions are being greatly stretched by this place, and they tend to overcome my understanding. 31 You are right. 32 No one is here because he is worthy. 33 Truly, the higher we climb on this Mountain, the more unworthy we are to be here, and the more grace we need to stay here. 34 How did I ever make it to the top the first time?"
35 "Grace," my angel [Messenger] responded.
36 "If you want to help me," I said, "please keep repeating that word to me whenever you see me in confusion or despair. 37 That word I am coming to understand better than any other."
38 "Now I must go back to the red stone. 39 I know now that is the greatest treasure in this room, and I must not leave until I am carrying that treasure in my heart."
Chapter 4.9 -- The Truth Of Grace
1 The time that I spent at the red stone was the most painful that I have ever experienced. 2 Many times I simply could not take anymore but had to withdraw my hand. 3 Several times I went back to the blue or green stones to rejuvenate my soul before I returned. 4 It was harder to return to the red stone each time, but my Love [Chesed] and appreciation for the Lord [Adonay = Yahooshua] was growing more through this than anything I had ever learned or experienced.
5 Finally, when the presence of the Father departed from Jesus [Yahooshua] on the Cross [Stake], I could not stand it any longer. 6 I quit. 7 I could tell that the angels [Messengers] , who were also experiencing what I was to a degree, were in full agreement with me. 8 The willpower to touch the stone again simply was no longer in me. 9 I did not even feel like going back to the blue stone. 10 I just laid prostrate on the floor. 11 I was weeping over what the Lord [Adonay = Yahooshua] had gone through. 12 I wept also because I knew that I had deserted Him just like His disciples. 13 I failed Him when He needed me the most, just like they did.
14 After what seemed like several days, I opened my eyes. 15 Another eagle was standing beside me. 16 In front of him were three stones, one blue, one green, and one red. 17 "Eat them," he said. 18 When I did, my whole being was renewed, and great joy and great soberness both flooded my soul.
19 When I stood up, I caught sight of the same three stones set into the handle of my sword, and then on each of my shoulders. 20 "These are now yours forever," the eagle said. 21 "They cannot be taken from you, and you cannot lose them."
22 "But I did not finish this last one," I protested.
23 "Christ [= The Anointed One = Yahooshua] alone will ever finish that test," he replied. 24 "You have done well enough, and you must go on now."
"Where to?" 25 I asked.
"You must decide, but with the time getting shorter I will suggest that you try to get to the top soon." 26 The eagle then departed, obviously in a hurry.
27 I then remembered the doors. 28 I started toward those that had been so appealing. 29 When I reached the first one it simply did not appeal to me anymore. 30 Then I went to another, and it felt the same. 31 "Something seems to have changed," I remarked out loud.
32 "You have changed," the angels [Messengers] replied at once. 33 I turned to look at them and was amazed at how much they had changed. 34 They no longer had a naive look about them, but were now more regal and wise-looking. 35 I knew they reflected what had also taken place in me, but I now felt uncomfortable just thinking about myself.
36 "I ask for your counsel," I said to the leader.
37 "Listen to your heart," he said. 38 "That is where these great truths now abide."
39 "I have never been able to trust my own heart," I responded. 40 "It is subject to so many conflicts. 41 I am too subject to delusions, deceptions, and selfish ambitions. 42 It is hard for me to even hear the Lord [Yah the Eternally Self-Existing] speaking to me above its clamor."
43 "Sir, with the red stone now in your heart, I do not believe that will continue to be the case," the leader offered with uncharacteristic confidence.
44 I leaned against the wall, thinking that the eagle was not here when I needed him the most. 45 He had been this way before and would know which door to choose. 46 But I knew he would not come back, and I knew that it was right that I choose. 47 As I pondered, the "terrible door" was the only one that I could think of. 48 Out of curiosity I decided to go back and look at it. 49 I had departed from it so fast the first time that I had not even noticed which truth it represented.
50 As I approached it I could feel the fear welling up inside of me, but not nearly as intensely the first time. 51 Unlike the other doors, it was very dark around this one, and I had to get very close to read the truth over it. 52 Mildly surprised, I read "THE JUDGMENT SEAT OF CHRIST [THE JUDGEMENT OF THE ANOINTING OF THE SPIRIT OF YAH]. 53 “Why is this truth so fearful?" 54 I asked aloud, knowing that the angels [Messengers] would not answer me. 55 As I continued looking at it I knew that it was the one I should go through.
56 "There are many reasons that it is fearful," the familiar voice of the eagle responded.
57 "I'm very glad you came back," I replied. 58 "Have I made a poor choice?"
59 "No! 60 You have chosen well. 61 This door will take you back to the top of the Mountain faster than any other. 62 It is fearful because the greatest fear in the creation has its source through that door. 63 The greatest wisdom that men can know in this life, or in the life to come, is also found through that door. 64 Even so, very few will go through it."
"But why is this door so dark?" 65 I asked.
66 "The light of these doors reflects the attention that the Church [Assembly] is presently giving to the truths behind them. 67 The truth behind that door is one of the most neglected of these times, but it is one of the most important. 68 You will understand when you enter. 69 The greatest authority that men can receive will be entrusted only to those who will go through this door. 70 When you see Christ Jesus [the Spirit of Yah that was upon Yahooshua = Yah] sitting on this throne, you, too, will be prepared to sit with Him on it."
"Then this door would not be so dark and foreboding if we had just given more attention to this truth?" 71 I asked.
72 "That is correct. 73 If men knew the glory that is revealed behind that door, it would be one of the most brilliant," the eagle lamented. 74 "However, it is still a difficult door to pass through. 75 I was told to return and encourage you because soon you will need it. 76 You will see a greater glory, but also a greater terror than you have ever known. 77 But know that because you have chosen the difficult way now, it will be much easier for you later. 78 Because you are willing to face this hard truth now, you will not suffer loss later. 79 Many Love [Chesed] to know His kindness, but very few are willing to know His severity. 80 If you do not embrace both you will always be in danger of deception and of a fall from His great grace."
81 "I know that I would never come here if I had not spent the time that I did at the red stone. 82 How could I keep trying to take the easy way when that is so contrary to the nature of the Lord [Adonay = Yahooshua]?" 83 I asked.
84 "But now you have chosen, so go quickly. 85 Another great battle is about to begin, and you are needed at the front," he said.
86 As I looked at the eagle, and the great resolution in his eyes, my confidence grew. 87 Finally I turned toward the door.
