Armageddon - The Test of Garments!

Are you wearing the right garment?

At this present time, the entire world is under containment. There is no escape from Armageddon, no matter where you live. Armageddon represents a place of containment where all individuals are tested and tried individually. No one escapes Armageddon.

In Hebrew, Armageddon means "Hill of Megiddo," with Megiddo translating to "A Place of Crowds" (i.e., containment).

Armageddon is not a battle of flesh and blood but a battle of mind and spirit where everyone in the world is contained and tested. In the Book of Revelation, it is described as a TEST OF GARMENTS.

In other words, if you’re not wearing the right garment, you’re going to be in trouble!

Revelation 3:4-5 You have a few names even in Sardis who have not defiled their GARMENTS; and they shall walk with Me in white, for they are worthy. He who overcomes shall be clothed in white GARMENTS, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.

Revelation 3:18 I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white GARMENTS, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see.

Revelation 4:4 Around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and on the thrones I saw twenty-four elders sitting, clothed in WHITE ROBES; and they had crowns of gold on their heads.

Revelation 6:11 Then a WHITE ROBE was given to each of them; and it was said to them that they should rest a little while longer, until both the number of their fellow servants and their brethren, who would be killed as they were, was completed.

Revelation 7:9 After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with WHITE ROBES, with palm branches in their hands.

Revelation 7:13-14 Then one of the elders answered, saying to me, “Who are these arrayed in white robes, and where did they come from?” And I said to him, “Sir, you know.” So he said to me, “These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and washed their ROBES and made them WHITE in the blood of the Lamb."

Revelation 16:15 “Behold, I am coming as a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his GARMENTS, lest he walk naked and they see his shame.”

Revelation 19:8 And to her it was granted to be arrayed in FINE LINEN, CLEAN AND BRIGHT, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.

What is the Test of Garments?

To understand the Test of Garments, you must understand Ahab’s story (Spoiler alert: he wore the wrong garments!)

Ahab is the 7th king of Israel. The number 7 is important because God completed His work in seven days. And it appears like God is finishing His work soon.

Genesis 2:2-3: "And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done…

The connection from the book of Revelation to Ahab is via Jezebel, Ahab’s wife.

Revelation 2:20 Nevertheless I have a few things against you, because you allow that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and seduce My servants to commit sexual immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols.

1 Kings 16:30-31 Now Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the Lord, more than all who were before him. And it came to pass, as though it had been a trivial thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that he took as wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal, king of the Sidonians; and he went and served Baal and worshiped him.

The story of Ahab represents a prophetic scenario that is unfolding in the world today. The name "Ahab" means "Uncle."

The word “Uncle” is most famously associated with the United States ("Uncle Sam").

“US: Uncle Sam”

Ahab and Naboth’s Vineyard

1 Kings 21:1 And it came to pass after these things that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard which was in Jezreel, next to the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.

Ahab’s palace was located next to Naboth’s vineyard. The name "Naboth" means "Fruits," and "Jezreel" means "God sows." Therefore, "Naboth the Jezreelite" signifies "Fruits produced where God sows." Indeed, the United States (“Uncle Sam”), historically driven by men of Christian persuasion, became the most powerful nation on earth during our generation and the few generations prior through its industrious and military might.

Uncle did not realize the fruits of Naboth’s vineyard were the strength of his nation (US Pledge of Allegiance: "...one Nation under God...") and foolishly coveted the industrious garden of fruits, desiring to convert it into a vegetable garden. This was the first fatal mistake in Uncle’s administration.

1 Kings 21:2 So Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying, “Give me your vineyard, that I may have it for a vegetable garden, because it is near, next to my house; and for it I will give you a vineyard better than it. Or, if it seems good to you, I will give you its worth in money.”

The vegetable garden symbolizes "diversity." He desired to transform the fruitful and industrious garden into one with a diverse array of vegetables. This mirrors the longing for diverse vegetables that the children of Israel experienced after the Lord freed them from bondage.

Numbers 11:5 We remember the fish which we ate freely in Egypt, the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, the onions, and the garlic.

Jezebel, his wife, took control of Uncle’s presidential seal. As a worshiper of Baal, Jezebel manipulated Uncle’s Congress by proclaiming a fast and having Naboth stoned to death. By proclaiming a fast she was disguising her actions as good intentions. This echoes the saying, "the road to hell is paved with good intentions.".

1 Kings 21:9-10 She wrote in the letters, saying, “Proclaim a fast, and seat Naboth with high honor among the people; and seat two men, scoundrels, before him to bear witness against him, saying, ‘You have blasphemed God and the king.’ Then take him out, and stone him, that he may die.”

Ahab and his imperfect Garment

Uncle, having taken ownership of Naboth's Vineyard, is now converting it into a Garden of Diverse Vegetables. Suddenly, an outbreak of war occurs. In the face of this conflict, Uncle's military and industrial might have weakened, as a consequence of his intense focus on promoting the Diversity “DEI” agenda.

In his desperate attempt to stay alive, he disguised himself as a soldier and went into battle.

1 Kings 22:30 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “I will disguise myself and go into battle; but you put on your robes.” So the king of Israel disguised himself and went into battle.

Wearing an imperfect garment, a randomly aimed arrow struck Uncle between the joints of his armor.

1 Kings 22:34 Now a certain man drew a bow at random, and struck the king of Israel between the joints of his armour. So he said to the driver of his chariot, “Turn around and take me out of the battle, for I am wounded.”

The word “bow” in ancient Greek is τόξον (toxon) in Greek. The English word "toxin" derives from the Greek word τοξικός (toxikos), which means "of or related to a bow or archery." This, in turn, comes from τόξον (toxon) because poison was sometimes used on arrows in ancient warfare.

This brings us back to the "White Horse" from the Book of Revelation, where the rider (i.e., the host) carries a bow(toxon) and is given a crown ("corona").

Revelation 6:2 "And I looked, and behold, a white horse. He who sat on it had a BOW; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer."

You can read more about the meaning of "conquering and to conquer" here:

Uncle, hit by a toxin, is now slowly bleeding to death. The fate of his wife will follow shortly.

1 Kings 22:35-37 The battle increased that day; and the king was propped up in his chariot, facing the Syrians, and died at evening. The blood ran out from the wound onto the floor of the chariot. Then, as the sun was going down, a shout went throughout the army, saying, “Every man to his city, and every man to his own country!” So the king died, and was brought to Samaria. And they buried the king in Samaria.

Jezebel’s Death

Shortly after Ahab’s death, Jezebel meets her destiny when Jehu appears. The name Jehu (יֵהוּא) means "Jehovah is He" or "The Lord is He." The Smith Bible Dictionary refers to Jehu as "The Living."

When Jehu appeared at the gate, Jezebel attempted to seduce him by putting paint on her eyes and adorning her head. As she tried to seduce “the living,” she was unaware that “the living” had already influenced two or three of her government officials. It is here that she meets her fate as they throw her down.

2 Kings 9:30-33 Now when Jehu had come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; and she put paint on her eyes and adorned her head, and looked through a window. Then, as Jehu entered at the gate, she said, “Is it peace, Zimri, murderer of your master?” And he looked up at the window and said, “Who is on my side? Who?” So two or three eunuchs looked out at him. Then he said, “Throw her down.” So they threw her down, and some of her blood spattered on the wall and on the horses; and he trampled her underfoot.

Rejoice!

My friends, the world is in a state of confusion, and these are tumultuous times for many. However, if you are wearing the right garments, there is nothing to fear or feel discouraged about. All things must come to pass. We are not called to debate or convince those who have chosen their destiny. Our role is to serve as "witnesses." As witnesses, it is not our job to convince or debate anyone; we are simply called to tell the truth, regardless of whether it is received. Do not be troubled by those who do not receive you. In other words, “shake off the dust from your feet”.

Matthew 10:14 And whoever will not receive you nor hear your words, when you depart from that house or city, shake off the dust from your feet.

Revelation 22:11 He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him be righteous still; he who is holy, let him be holy still.

If you are wearing the right garments, as spoken by Isaiah, it is a time to REJOICE!

I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, My soul shall be joyful in my God; For He has clothed me with the garments of salvation, He has covered me with the robe of righteousness, As a bridegroom decks himself with ornaments, And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.

Isaiah 61:10
