 *NOTE**: (2009-10-31) - *During our first “Pilot Prayer Team” meeting on
October 31st, this word “portal” or “door” for “THUra” came to us. It was
because of a vision from the preceding night in Moses Lake. God came down
to reveal His word in a special way from heaven. However, in Revelation
4:1, the Lord is inviting John to come up through this door or portal, to
receive the revelation given to Him concerning things to come, which He
signified to John through His angel.

 We all need to be sensitive to the unseen world in which God and His
angels and saints dwell. To read H. A. Baker's “Visions Beyond the Veil”,
is to become very much aware of the reality of this unseen world. As we
follow the principles of “meditation” as revealed in Joshua 1:8; Psalm
1:1-3 and Psalm 19:14, this world can open to us, and the door between the
two worlds can become clear.

 God indicated in September of 2008 that He was about to “activate” the
vision of “Spiritual Star Wars” through the “Organic Automated
Laser-Telescope” that He gave in answer to prayer in 1967, and confirmed in
1985. He followed this vision up with a second, revealing 70 Pilot Prayer
Teams of 8 individuals for 70 major cities in Canada, and 70 in the US.
There are now some 260 prayer teams for Canadian “City, Town and Village
Halls” throughout the Dominion. To activate the above 2 visions on behalf
of these 260 prayer groups, and see God “plant their feet on higher ground”
- is our prayer through the Pilot Prayer Team in the Seattle area that was
activated October 31st of this year. We have had but 3 meetings, and
already God is so activating what we are doing, that we can scarcely keep
up with Him. On December 7, 68 years after Pearl Harbor, God brought
together clearly the 7 component parts of His “Automated Laser-Telescope”.
Then we learned from a prayer group in Minnesota, that they had claimed
that what happened as a Day of Infamy December 7, 1941, would be
compensated for by a spiritual breakthrough this same date this year. We
believe that the revelation of the 7 component parts of His “Organic
Automated Laser-Telescope” is an answer to their prayer.

 Chapter 4 of the Book of Revelation is a key chapter to open up our
understanding of the full Revelation given to our Lord Jesus on our behalf.
Years ago John Wesley despaired of ever understanding this book, until he
read the works of the “great Bengel”. Recently Dr. Daniel Juster, a
Messianic Jewish Leader and Theologian, felt the same as John Wesley in his
early days. Since the early 1990's - he and Mike Bickle have been
presenting the “One New Man” - through these two movements - on the basis
of “Covenant” understanding. While Dr. Juster was meditating recently, God
drew near, and said He was about to open to him the 7-fold key to
understand the Book of Revelation. Understand the first Passover in Egypt
under Moses, and the subsequent crossing of the Red Sea, and here you will
find the 7-fold Key to understand this Revelation.

 Turn to our Website (*www.2rbetter.org* <http://www.2rbetter.org/>), and
click on “Interlinear”. - Then click on the notes under the 5 sections of
Revelation 1-3, which give an introductory understanding of Dr. Daniel
Juster's 7-fold Key.

 1. *Preparation for God's people* - Revelation 2-3 - Letters to the 7
churches! Jesus' words to these 7 churches only are a help to those who
have ears to hear what His Spirit is saying to these seven churches. These
words will prepare God's people for His Revelation to follow. Just as
Joseph protected Israel in Egypt while he was alive.

 2. *God's People Protected*! Just as God protected Israel in *Goshen* from
the plague of “flies” to the end of the plagues, so He will raise up *little
Goshens* for His people in these last days. See Revelation 4:7; 10-11

 3. *Plagues - on World-wide Egypt* - a picture of our world - world-wide -
Revelation 5-6; 8-9; 15-18

 4. *Antichrist - the Last-day Pharaoh!* - Revelation 12-13

 5. * Exodus through the Glory-cloud* - Revelation 14:14-16 - for us - just
as God delivered Israel through the Red Sea by Moses, a picture of Christ,
and His rescue of His people through this supernatural way.

 6. *Antichrist - drowned in the wrath of God* - 19:11-21-20:3; 2l-22, just
as Pharaoh and his hosts were drowned in the Red Sea.

 7. *Entrance into the Promised Land* - 19:1-10; 20:4; 21-22; just as God
through Moses, and then Joshua (another type of Christ) drove out the 7
Canaanite nations, and planted Israel there according to His faithful
promise.

 IHOP at Kansas City has both CD and DVD copies of this unusual prophetic
teaching. - J.A.Watt
