Event | Meaning of name | Spiritual significance | Apocalypse seal |
---|---|---|---|
Birth of Enoch | "Enoch" means "dedicated" | This is when it dawns on the believer that he/she has been "dedicated" or "consecrated" unto God, thus becoming aware of his/her spiritual priesthood (1 Peter 2:9). This happens in the depths of the believer's heart. |
White
horse (seal 1) |
Building of the city of Enoch | This is the beginnings of the external manifestation of the priesthood word that has been planted in the believer's heart. This word turns the believer into a source of contention, of internal conflict within the Church's Old-Covenant priesthood structures. |
Red horse (seal 2) |

Birth of Irad | According to abarim-publications.com, "Irad" may mean "to go away, escape through sprightliness" and may be translated as "fugitive". According to Strong's concordance, the word "Irad" is derived from a word meaning "to sequester itself". | This is when a physical separation occurs between the faithful believer and the Old-Covenant followers. The believer flees the structures of Cain, "sequestering" or "isolating" him or herself in the lonely wilderness of scarcity, leaving the followers of Cain behind. |
Black horse (seal 3) |
Birth of Mehujael | Mehujael means "obliterated by God" | This is when the believer becomes a living "burnt offering" unto God, allowing God to shackle him/her and to have his/her life taken down to the depths of Death and Sheol. |
Green horse (seal 4) |
Birth of Methusael | According to abarim-publications.com, "Methusael" can be translated to mean several things. One is "man of God", in the sense of a male who is old enough to fight and die in battle. Another possible translation is "I'm mortal; where's God?". Another possibility is "The man we wanted". Interestingly enough, the suffix "sael" can also be traced back to the word "Sheol" meaning "hell, grave, pit". | This is when the believer is forced to hibernate in a 5th-seal "Paradise" in Sheol after their sacrificial death in green-horse battle. This is a period of utter weakness and "powerlessness", a period during which the remnant are forced to wait inside their narrow but relatively-safe bunkers as the drama outside plays itself out and their vindication is eventually manifested. During this difficult time, they become aware of their "mortality" and are at times compelled to ask God, "Where are you? Why hasn't our vindication been fully manifested yet?" Just as the Lord Jesus was killed by the Jews who awaited the Messiah, the remnant are killed by the very people who were awaiting their anointing's manifestation. God then waits for the people who either ignored or killed the remnant to realise that they needed the very remnant they let die. In other words, God deals with the non-remnant believers until they are willing to admit that the remnant they killed were "the man we wanted". | Temporary stay in Sheol's
Paradise (seal 5) |
Birth of Lamech | "Lamech" means "powerful" | This is when the power of God's vindicating vengeance is released. As this power is released, His remnant are finally manifested and justified before those who had judged them wrong. | The vindicating vengeance of God (seal 6) |
Marriage of Lamech to Adah and Zillah | "Adah" means "ornament" | As we have studied before, the ministry most directly related to impartation of spiritual gifts (charismas) is the teacher ministry. Since spiritual charismas are like ornaments that embellish the believer, we can safely say that wife Adah represents a restored teacher ministry. | The time when
the soul finally sits silently at the feet of the Spirit (seal 7) |
Adah gave birth to Jabal, the father of those who dwell in tents and have cattle. This means that the teacher endowment will no longer degrade into the Girgashite spirit, which, as we have studied before, compels people to act as if the natural flesh were our permanent residence instead of a temporal tent. Therefore, the birth of Jabal symbolises a restored teacher endowment that will make believers aware that we are dwelling in temporary tents that must be transformed into houses for the green Eternity of God. The word "cattle" in Genesis 4:20 was translated from the Hebrew word miqneh, which is derived from the word qanah meaning "to buy, acquire, possess". Thus, the birth of Jabal also speaks of material possessions (which the Girgashite spirit can become obsessed about) becoming subservient to God's Eternity. Being "tent dwellers" first, Jabal believers will see material prosperity as a means to further eternal ends, for it makes no sense to obsess about accumulating material goods in a place you are staying at temporarily. | |||
Adah also gave birth to Jabal's brother Jubal, the father of all who handle the harp and the flute, i.e.- the father of "musicians" (the harp represents stringed instruments, and the flute, translated as "organ" in the King James Version, represents wind instruments). As music students surely know, there is a "methodical" element to music, but that methodical element must not be allowed to constrain musical creativity. As we have studied before, teachers are methodical by nature. Therefore, Jubal's birth represents a latter-day teacher endowment whose methodical nature enables (as opposed to constraining) prophetic flow and random creativity. This is the reason why both the name Jabal and Jubal have meanings related to "flow" (Jabal means "stream of water" and Jubal means "stream"). As we have studied before, teachers are perfected when they become prophets, meaning that Adah and her offspring represent a latter-day teacher endowment that has been perfected in the Spirit. | |||
Zillah means "shadow" | As we have studied before, the ministry with the most direct calling to remain in the shadows of anonymity is the pastoral ministry (which is the opposite of what man has done, for soulish man has turned the pastoral ministry into the most visible and preeminent ministry). Therefore, Zillah represents a restored pastoral ministry. | ||
Zillah gave birth to Tubal-Cain, the forger of all instruments of bronze and iron. As we have said before, "bronze" represents formation judgements and "iron" represents judgements of correction. As we have also said before, pastors who stray from God's will turn into judgement-abhorring Canaanites. Therefore, the birth of Tubal-Cain speaks of a restored pastoral endowment that operates in God's apostolic judgements without hindering them. In Hebrew, the name "Tubal" has the connotation of someone being dragged; thus, the name "Tubal-Cain" speaks of pastors dragging the unrepentant to judgement tribunals rather than shielding them from God's restoring judgements. Just as Tubal was a forger of metal, the latter-day pastoral endowment will forge righteousness by allowing God's sledgehammer to mould His people into His likeness. As we have said before, pastors are perfected when they become apostles, and, as we have also said before, the ministry most related to judgements is the apostolic ministry. This means that Zillah and her offspring represent a latter-day pastoral endowment that has been perfected in God. | |||
Zillah also gave birth to a daughter called Naamah. It is interesting to consider that she is the only woman mentioned amongst Cain's descendants, which correlates with the fact that both the pastoral and teacher ministries are "female" (with the pastoral ministry being the more "dominant" of the two). The name "Naamah" means loveliness, and is derived from the word naem meaning "to be pleasant, beautiful, sweet, delightful". This means that the latter-day pastoral ministry will forge "female" souls that are pleasant, beautiful, and delightful to God's eyes, for they will have a grace founded on righteousness forged through judgements. They will be yielded souls, souls that stand silent before the Spirit without trying to domineer over Him. |
Therefore, the spiritual meaning behind the phrase "We stand with the sons of Cain" in the lyrics above speaks of those who participate in the silent restoration process that allows for the remnant to be manifested in these latter days. In Genesis 4, the spiritual restoration being carried out by Cain's descendants was silently taking place far away from Adam and his wife. However, that silent, faraway process ended up affecting their lives directly. In the same way, the remnant have been forging a silent yet violent spiritual process during their 5th-seal period, and as they have, their hearts have been burning with the vision of God's latter-rain manifestation, a manifestation that will be evident to all of mankind, even to those who were not aware of the invisible spiritual process that led to it.
In their hearts, the remnant live in God's country. Their hearts are consumed by the vision of God's Kingship being established on Earth. Unlike the rest of the Church, they do not see God's Kingdom in terms of submission to hierarchical religious structures in the middle of an otherwise rebellious world that is indifferent to God's plans. Instead, they see the work of the Spirit in terms of spiritual warfare where you are either on one side or the other and where the side of God is called to overtake the side that is against Him. They do not see the work of the Spirit in terms of political squabbles where the main interest is to establish who the "elite" and who the "subordinate" are. They do not see the world as a permanently-divided parcel of land where two kingdoms can coexist without a constant and direct conflict between them, a divided world where each kingdom's elite are more concerned with maintaining hegemony over their own ranks than about destroying the other kingdom. The remnant, under the "green-horse" anointing, are uncompromising believers who are bent on seeing the fullness of God's spirit nature manifested on Earth. Unlike the "Trekkie Church", God's green remnant are not waiting for God to come down and magically set up His kingdom on Earth. They understand that God's Kingdom is already here, only that it is hidden inside God's faithful and it must be birthed forth through believers who are wiling to bear the "gastric burden".
"22 Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw. 23 And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David? 24 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils. 25 And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand: 26 And if satan cast out satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand? 27 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges. 28 But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you. 29 Or else how can one enter into a strong man’s house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house. 30 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad." (Matthew 12:22-30)
