Tradition has a way of distorting truth when taught as fact, especially when critical thinking and spiritual discernment are discouraged. Repeated enough in sermons, commentaries, and cultural storytelling, misguided ideas become ingrained as absolute truth—even when Scripture reveals something far deeper. This is both deceptive and dangerous.
As I’ve discussed in previous videos, human logic and tradition have reshaped Scripture into a philosophy, stripping it of its divine depth. When we lean on inherited teachings rather than seeking revelation through the Holy Spirit, we risk missing the fullness of God’s message. Worse yet, we unknowingly serve the enemy’s agenda, keeping God’s people bound in half-truths.
What’s the definition of insanity? Doing the same thing over and over while expecting a different result. But true insanity is refusing to learn and grow when confronted with undeniable truth—clinging to pride and preconceived notions instead. This is not just ignorance; it is a spiritual stronghold. Sin and unrepentance have reached their peak, and the Lord’s judgment is near. Yet, His judgment is not merely destruction—it is an act of grace, separating light from darkness with the sword of truth.
There is no greater truth and light than Jesus Christ, who died for our sins and rose again three days later. He alone is our hope, our Savior, and our Lord. In Him, we are saved.
Throughout history, God has revealed profound insights to those who seek Him with a heart for truth over tradition. Many of these revelations are overlooked—not because they lack logic, but because they challenge long-standing, comfortable interpretations. The Jewish religious leaders—the Pharisees and scribes—missed the first coming of Christ because He did not fit their expectations of the Messiah. Likewise, many in the church today fail to recognize the significance of the Gentile Bride and the timing of the Rapture because they rely on doctrines that only align with their assumptions. Without questioning why they believe what they believe, they risk missing this momentous appointment at the middle of Daniel’s 70th week.
Some of the strongest doctrinal strongholds stem from unchallenged beliefs, such as the pre-tribulation rapture and the doctrine of imminence—widely accepted by self-professing Christians. For example, Dispensationalism is not only unscriptural but dangerously misleading, fostering complacency and unpreparedness. As the end times approach, many will fall away because they were never truly prepared. Likewise, the identity of the 144,000 has been widely misunderstood, reduced to speculation over Jewish tribal lineage based on dreams and visions with little Scriptural foundation. These misinterpretations, left unchallenged, bear the inevitable fruit of false teaching—fruit that will one day rot.
A year ago, I would never have imagined myself in this position—calling out from the wilderness—but the Lord has ordained it. Like the prophets of old, I speak and warn, even when few are willing to listen. Yet I press on, knowing that these revelations are not my own, but from Jesus Christ Himself.
Previously, the Lord revealed to me the significance of the Tree of Life and Joshua 4—keys to unlocking His redemptive plan and timeline. These revelations, when examined with sound reasoning, stand firm and undeniable. Now, He has made it clear that the time has come to release proof so undeniable that His children will have no choice but to see the patterns He has woven into His creation. This is not human speculation but divine design, laid out for those with eyes to see and hearts willing to understand.
This truth is embedded in the very structure of the high priest’s ephod—the placement of its stones forming a pattern that, when properly connected, reveals the number 288. This same number is tied to the Tree of Life and Joshua 4, following the formula God encoded: 12 plus 12 equaling 24, then multiplied by 12 to reach 288, which represents completion. These patterns are not arbitrary; they are the fingerprints of God, placed there from the beginning as a sign to those who are willing to search them out. I will clarify this in more detail later, but make no mistake—what has been hidden is now being revealed, just as the Lord intended.
Unsealed: Urim and Thummim—Onyx, Bdellium, and the Bride of Christ
Many have studied the ephod and breastplate, recognizing their significance, yet the deeper patterns within them have remained undiscovered. Though the connections are undeniable, no one has fully grasped their true meaning—until now. The relationship between the shoulder ephods, the breastplate, and the hidden stones used to commune with God has been overlooked, yet it holds a revelation that could only be unveiled at the appointed time (Romans 11:25-26, Revelation 19:7-8).
Throughout Scripture, God has concealed treasures of wisdom, foreshadowing the redemption of both Jew and Gentile. Among these mysteries stands the Urim and Thummim—the stones of divine discernment entrusted to the high priest. Traditionally understood to be hidden within the breastpiece of judgment, their precise nature has remained one of the Bible’s great enigmas. Now, through the alignment of biblical patterns—the 24 fruits of the Tree of Life and the 24 stones from Joshua 4—a profound revelation comes to light:
The Urim and Thummim is the hidden bdellium—the concealed counterpart to onyx—symbolizing the Gentile Bride, veiled within God’s redemptive plan since the time of Eden. Now, by the Lord’s divine will, it is being unsealed—not as speculation, but as reality. This is the fulfillment of prophecy, a sign that His promises are unfolding, and the time to prepare for the harvest and the rapture is on the horizon. The mid-week rapture draws near, and the Lord is calling His first-fruits to witness, proclaim, and declare this revelation. Those with ears to hear must be ready, for His gathering is at hand.
Before the fall of man, Scripture provides a striking detail about the materials found in the land of Havilah:
"Now a river flowed out of Eden to water the garden; and from there it divided and became four rivers. The name of the first is Pishon; it flows around the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold. The gold of that land is good; the bdellium and the onyx stone are there." (Genesis 2:10-12)
Havilah stands as a land of divine appointment, enriched by gold, onyx, and bdellium—each carrying a deeper revelation. While many assume bdellium to be a mere resin, its placement alongside gold and onyx—both enduring and precious—declares otherwise. It is not a fleeting substance but a hidden treasure, veiled until the appointed time. Bdellium is the hardened seed of the Tree of Life’s fruit, a vessel of divine inheritance, carrying the essence of Eden’s promise.
The Pishon River, flowing from Eden, was not just a river but a conduit of destiny, carrying these sacred seeds to Havilah and embedding within the earth a mystery waiting to be revealed. This follows the divine pattern where seeds are not remnants but carriers of promise, set apart for an appointed season. Just as the river bore the seeds of the Tree of Life into Havilah, the Holy Spirit plants the incorruptible seed of eternal life within the first-fruits, preparing them for the imminent restoration of all things.
The Lord intentionally listed bdellium and onyx together, both found in the same land, near a river flowing from Eden. This connection is not incidental but a divine pairing established from the beginning. Onyx later takes its place in the high priest’s ephod, bearing the engraved names of the twelve tribes upon the priest’s shoulders (Exodus 28:9-12). But bdellium appears only one other time in Scripture—describing the manna from heaven (Numbers 11:7). Its scarcity signals its hidden nature, its prophetic purpose reserved for an appointed time.
The onyx stones of the ephod were displayed openly, signifying Israel’s covenant with God. But the Urim and Thummim, the very means of divine revelation, remained concealed within the breastpiece—covering the high priest’s heart (Exodus 28:30).
If the revealed stones (onyx) represent Israel, then what of the hidden Urim and Thummim? The answer is encoded in Genesis 2: the Urim and Thummim is bdellium—the hidden stone, the concealed Bride, waiting for her unveiling.
This is why bdellium was linked to manna—because just as manna sustained Israel in the wilderness, so too has the Gentile Bride been supernaturally sustained in her season of hiddenness by manna, the bread from heaven who is our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. But now, the time of concealment is ending. The Lord is revealing His full redemptive plan, restoring both the natural and wild branches into their ordained unity.
This mystery aligns with the priestly order established in David’s time, where 24 courses of priests ministered before the Lord (1 Chronicles 24), reflecting the 24 elders seated in heaven (Revelation 4:4). This divine order was encoded into the 24 stones of Joshua 4 and the 24 fruits of the Tree of Life, all pointing to the completion of God's redemptive work.
The final number—288—is divinely encoded in the formula of (12 + 12) × 12 = 288. This represents the fullness of the priesthood, the restoration of both Jew and Gentile, and the completion of God’s redemptive order. The same number is found in 1 Chronicles 25:7, where 288 musicians were set apart to prophesy with harps, lyres, and cymbals—a foreshadowing of the heavenly worship and the Bride’s role in declaring the praises of the Lamb.
This revelation has been sealed for generations, but the time of silence is over. The hidden stone has been lifted, the fruit is soon to be harvested, and the Bride must awaken.
The Lord is calling His first-fruits to proclaim, witness, and prepare. The unveiling has begun, and the time is at hand.
The Mystery of the Hidden Bride
The Urim and Thummim rest over the heart—the place of love and covenant. Bdellium is not resin but the hardened seed of the fruit of life, turned to stone with purpose—an enduring vessel of inheritance. Its fulfillment is revealed in Revelation 21:21, where New Jerusalem’s twelve gates, made of pearl, reflect the Urim and Thummim, marking the redeemed Gentile’s entrance into the holy city.
This aligns with Paul’s teaching that Jew and Gentile are brought together in Christ:
"For He Himself is our peace, who made both groups into one and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall." (Ephesians 2:14)
The onyx stones on the shoulders signify Israel, the covenant people, bearing the weight of priestly intercession. But within the breastpiece, over the high priest’s heart, the Urim and Thummim remained hidden—the place of divine revelation, where God’s will was made known. Bdellium, concealed until the appointed time, represents the Gentile Bride—hidden yet chosen. Now, the unveiling has begun. The redemptive plan is complete: the revealed and the concealed, the natural and the grafted-in, all brought together in the high priestly ministry of our Lord.
The Sacred Lot: A Relic of Eden and the Divine Counsel
The Urim and Thummim were relics of Eden, sacred vessels of divine revelation entrusted to the High Priest of Israel. More than mere stones, they were a seed from the Tree of Life, carried downstream by the River Pishon and preserved through the ages. Under God’s command, Moses’ craftsmen shaped this sacred white stone into two six-sided dice, much like the two tablets of the Law. Each face bore divinely engraved symbols, forming a sacred casting system—an ordained means through which the High Priest could seek the counsel of the Almighty.
"He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who overcomes, I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and a new name written on the stone which no one knows except the one who receives it." (Revelation 2:17)
This white stone, given to the overcomer, is the Urim and Thummim—an instrument of divine revelation, its inscription known only to the one who receives it. Just as these sacred dice bore divine engravings to reveal God’s will, so too does the white stone of Revelation signify a personal revelation from the Lord, bearing a new name. The Gentile Bride, once hidden like the Urim and Thummim, now stands revealed, marked with the prophetic imprint of God’s redemptive plan.
Throughout history, mankind has sought ways to bridge the gap between the earthly and the divine. The Urim and Thummim stand out among the many systems of discernment, but they are not without parallels. One particularly striking comparison is the I Ching of China, which, like the Urim and Thummim, relies on structured randomness to reveal deeper truths. The presence of the number six in both systems is not a coincidence—it is a universal principle, an ancient pattern woven into creation itself.
The High Priest’s breastpiece, where the Urim and Thummim were placed, was itself a symbol of divine order. The twelve stones upon it represented the twelve tribes of Israel, while the two dice, concealed within, signified a deeper revelation known only to God’s chosen servant. These dice functioned as a binary system of engraved symbols, their higher data capacity allowing for more nuanced messages than a simple yes or no—aligning with ancient methods of structured revelation.
The design of the High Priest’s ephod confirms this deeper pattern. Each shoulder bore an onyx stone engraved with the names of six tribes of Israel, one on each side, reflecting a structured system of six. This detail, while often overlooked, unveils a deeper significance behind the use of six in divine communication. The I Ching, operating on a six-line hexagram system, follows the same structure, using broken and unbroken lines to interpret dynamic changes in a given situation. The choice of six is intentional, providing a framework for understanding fate and divine order.
The recurrence of six in both systems is a direct reflection of God's design. Mathematically, six is a perfect number, signifying balance and harmony. It appears throughout creation, from the hexagonal structure of honeycombs to the six days of biblical creation, reinforcing its connection to divine order. Many ancient traditions recognized six as a number of completeness, often linked to cycles of time, renewal, and structured revelation.
The Urim and Thummim, as two six-sided dice, are a direct link to God's divine order, aligning perfectly with the six-line framework of the I Ching. Both systems rely on structured randomness, revealing divine guidance through an ordered yet seemingly chance-based process. The use of six as a foundation for decision-making and revelation is not human invention—it is a fundamental truth established by God, woven into the fabric of creation itself. Whether through lots, dice, or hexagrams, six is the bridge between human uncertainty and the wisdom of the divine.
The I Ching and Urim and Thummim are remnants of a once-unified system of divine guidance, divided among the nations yet originating from the same sacred source. This is not speculation but revelation—God’s truth, restored to those with ears to hear. The recurrence of six-sided structures in both traditions is a divine marker, a signature of the Creator, revealing His will in an uncorrupted form.
The Final Unveiling
From the river of Eden to the priestly garments, God embedded a prophetic blueprint of His plan. Onyx and bdellium, paired together in Genesis, reappear in the priesthood—not as equals in visibility, but as counterparts in divine purpose. Just as the Gentile Bride was hidden until the time of Christ, so too were the Urim and Thummim concealed within the ephod.
In the end, the fullness of the Body—both Jew and Gentile—will be revealed in glory, reigning with Christ in New Jerusalem.
Thus, the mystery unfolds. The long-forgotten bdellium, concealed yet treasured, finds its place within the heart of the priesthood—just as the Bride, hidden for ages, is now revealed in God’s redemptive plan as the 144,000 first fruits of the Gentile.
The Divine Pattern of 12, 144, and 288
These three examples stand as undeniable proof from God—revealed by a son of a cow herder who survived the tribulation of the Cambodian killing fields. The seed of a fruit is also known as a stone, and just as the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are one, so too is the sacred unity of God’s revelation.
The twelve stones set at Gilgal and another twelve hidden in the Jordan testify to both separation and restoration in God. When multiplied by the 12 tribes in Joshua 4, they produce 288. Likewise, the High Priest’s ephod bore two onyx stones inscribed with the names of the 12 tribes, while the Urim and Thummim, with 12 sacred sides and inscriptions, were set within the breastpiece’s 12 stones—again producing the pattern of 288.
Moreover, the Tree of Life in the New Jerusalem stands as the final confirmation of this design. With 12 trees on each side of the river, bearing fruit in each of the 12 months, the total comes to 288 kinds of fruit. This perfect numerical structure, woven throughout Scripture from Eden to the final restoration, is a clear testament to God’s divine plan.
What was once divided is now made whole in Christ. The pattern of 12, 144, and 288 confirms His plan to unite Jew and Gentile into one redeemed assembly before His throne. The 144,000 first fruits from Israel and the 144,000 from the Gentiles together form the sum of 288—witnesses to the completeness of His divine order.
What has been concealed for ages is now revealed—the Gentile Bride, the first fruits of the nations, has emerged at the appointed time, much like the white stone given to the overcomer in Revelation. Just as the hidden stones of the Jordan were later revealed, and the right side of the Tree of Life bore its appointed fruit, so too has the Bride now been made known.
Jesus affirmed that these mysteries are granted to the faithful and pure-hearted, while those who reject His wisdom remain blind to His truth (Matthew 13:11). The deeper we seek Him, the more He unveils, guiding us into the fullness of His eternal purpose. A greater understanding of the truth not only strengthens our faith but also equips us to stand against the schemes of the enemy. The devil thrives on deception, but when we walk in revelation, we expose his lies and render his tactics powerless.
As darkness increases, so must our pursuit of truth. God’s Word is a weapon, sharper than any two-edged sword, cutting through deception and equipping His people for battle (Hebrews 4:12, Ephesians 6:17). In these final days, those who seek Him diligently will be armed with wisdom, discernment, and the authority to overcome evil. To seek God sincerely is to walk in revelation, uncovering the deeper realities of His divine plan and standing firm against the forces of darkness.
The time has come to proclaim this truth. As His ambassadors and first-fruits, we are charged with making the announcement: the divine order, sealed in the pattern of 12, 144, and 288, is fulfilled. The hidden Bride is revealed, the sacred assembly is complete, and the way is prepared for the Lord’s imminent return.
I cannot help but fall before Him, the One who sits on the throne, the One who reigns forever and ever.
I know that every word, every thought, every gift I have is by His will alone. So, I cast my crown before Him—not as a symbol of personal achievement, but as an offering, a recognition that He alone is worthy.
“Worthy are You, our Lord and our God,” I proclaim, my voice filled with awe and gratitude.
“Worthy to receive glory, honor, and power; for You created all things, and by Your will they exist and were created.”
Amen.
