> I have been writing about one falling and the falling has been revealed to me to be from one leaving their first love. This leaving their first love means that something has replaced what was first so that there is a separation between what was their first love and the new treasure in their heart which causes them to stumble. What has been revealed to me is that where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. If your first love is God, then God will be your heart, and not be behind anything else. And when those that have God as their first love leave their first love, then they set up an idol in their heart. I have not identified the beast yet, but will shortly. To a Jewish person versed in their scriptures, reading what John penned, they could understand the symbols of {leaving their first love} and the beast comming out of the sea. They could be directed after reading that passage to the book called Ezekiel in the 14th chapter, verses 7 on, as we read;
> [...For anyone of the house of Israel who separates himself from me...and sets up his Idols in his Heart and puts before him what causes him to stumble into iniquity,... >I will set my face against that man<...].( I will write further about seeing the beast come out of the sea). And then the rejoicing news from the book called Isaiah, the first chapter, verses 18 on;
> [...Come, let us reason together, says the Lord; though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool...].
> LouDena,
You wrote,[...What is the significance of the house?...]
What has been revealed to me is that the {house} is a symbol of the Spiritual House that one builds for themselves. In the second chapter of Revelation, John penns in verse 5 on to the congregation that has left their first love;
[...Remember thearfore from where you have fallen,{repent} and {do the {first works}...].
When I was on the shore of the sea and saw the beast come up out of the sea, there was a Rider on a White Horse behind me. When I saw the beast come out of the sea , I turned to Him and he said to me, "Lou, repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. To him that overcomes I will give to eat from The Tree of Life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God."
