THE SHAPES OF THE LOCUSTS: Revelation 9:7 " And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle..." These Horses are symbolic, meaning: as in Rev.19:14 which, is a large Army of the Saints, A large Organization; An Organization as that of the World, and National Churches. The World and National Churches: these are the Shapes of the Locusts. These Shapes of the Locusts are the same as the Beast out of the Bottomless Pit. The symbolic meaning of the WORD BEAST is as in Rev. 17:1, The whore sat on the waters, or sat on the beast, verse 15:where the whore sat are People, Multitudes, Nations, and Tongues, this is what the beast is. Revelation 9:7 " And upon their heads was as it were crowns of gold. And their face was as the face of a man. These shapes of the Locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle..." A horse in Rev. is symbolic meaning Nations Kindred and Tongues, or a Large Group of People. This means to what Organizations are doctoring were they shaped unto, this is the shape of the Locust, which is the Horses. These doctoring were the World and National Churches.
These Horses are symbolic just like the Horses that Jesus rode. In this case of Jesus these horses were the body of Christ. as in Rev. 19:14" And the army which were in heaven followed hem upon horses. These horses are symbolic in one sense meaning a going forth. These were the armies that followed Jesus. Rev. 9,7" The Locusts were like unto horses. These horses were running unto Battle, but they were not running to the same battle as the Barn again believer are running to, these only have a Form of Godliness. The Locusts are Doctoring that eat up the spiritual food from the Elect. AS IN JOEL 1:3" Tell your Children of this. And again in Joel 1:4" That which the palmerworm has left has the Locusts eaten. 2Timothy 3:5 " Having a form of Godliness, but denying the power thereof: From such turn away." This means they were running to Battle, but they denying the power of the Holy Ghost this is not the battle but this is only a Form of Godliness.
JESUS HORSES ARE SYMBOLIC, MEANING: THE BODY OF CHRIST GOING FORTH: These Horses appeared like the Horses that Followed Jesus; But this is not the same battle as the barn again believers are running to. The Followed of Jesus: are marching to a different drum so speaking. These have followed a different beat than those Ministers
The World, and National Churches are the Doctrines, or Shapes of the Locusts. These went forth and Ate up the Spiritual food of the Souls. Another Shape of the Locusts is: To what Bible School did they attend! In Revelation 9:7 "... And on their heads were as it were Crowns like gold..."The meaning of Crowns. they only appeared like they had CROWNS. WHICH WAS A FORM OF GODLINESS.
Revelation 9:7 "... On their heads were AS it were crowns like gold...These are not Crowns of Gods Salvation, but this is LIKE CROWNS The Shapes of, the Locusts are the Doctrine they have. This is not a Doctrine of a born-again experience. Many of these were not born-again with the Spirit of Christ. Most Doctrine teach they sin, or they are sinners saved by grace. We are saved by Grace, but We are not to sin no more after the barn again experience We are to sin no more. 1John 3:6 " Whosoever abide in him (Christ) Sins not..." AND THEIR FACES WERE AS THE FACES OF MEN: Revelation 9:7 "... And their faces were as the faces of men." The Faces are symbolic, meaning understanding, as in Revelation. Revelation 1:16 "... His countenance was as the Sun shining..." The Sun light of Jesus' face is the understanding of the Gospel, symbolically. This is as we see the light, we understand. We can not understand the Word of God without the light of the Gospel. The face of the Church World today has the understanding as that of a man, and not that of God. These organization have the understanding as that of a man. This means they do not have the understanding as that of God. The reason for this was: many of them were not redeemed, and filled with the Holy Ghost. We can not understand the Bible without the Holy Spirit to illuminate us. Their Countenance or Understanding was as that of a Man. This is the Shapes of the World, and National Churches.
