LAMBDA ONE…A SIGN OF THE SON OF MAN…A NEW WINE PERSPECTIVE ON MATTHEW 24:29-31…will you come fly with us?
MB: Thomas once said that he believed that the Rapture might not happen instantly but instead could transpire over a period of time. I may be wrong, but I think he suggested 24 hours. I couldn’t find where he said that but recently this idea came to mind that may be in line with Thomas’ thoughts. When the thought first came, a really warm wonderful feeling came over me. It was like I was receiving a witness of the spirit. I told my wife my thoughts and she smiled and seemed very excited by the idea. When talking about the idea later, she said she was moved by the spirit and agreed that it was like a witness of the spirit.
I’m going to read from Matthew 24:29-31 and whilst reading I’m going to emphasis what I think are key or clue words in the text. Then I’m going to read from some material I’ve gathered which I believe has some amazing similarities to the emphasized text out of Matthew 24:29-31. Whilst listening, perhaps you will receive a witness from the spirit, perhaps you won’t. It doesn’t really matter; either way when that glorious day comes, we are on our way to the City of Love (Video). So are you ready? I’ve got a pretty active imagination I know, but just maybe it’s not my imagination but Jesus is revealing one of His best kept secrets to us. Are you ready? Let’s see if you can spot the similarities between the Bible verses and the material I found on the subject? This may stretch your “old school” concepts, but that doesn’t hurt, I think it makes for some New New Wine bibbing. In other words, drink it down, give it a little time to settle and see what it does to your spirit. (End)
Matthew 24:29-31 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: and then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
“I awoke to the soft, warm, golden glow of a new morning in this wonderful New World. The air seemed especially alive today, almost electric with a great sense of excitement and anticipation. In the distance I could hear music. Not so much that of a song, or of a marching band, but rather a great rumbling sound of a multitude of trumpets playing a thousand different notes and tones that nonetheless blended beautifully and angelically.“
Lambda One (A Sign of the Son of Man)
“Today is the day!” he almost shouted. “Come on, Travis! You don’t want to miss this!”
The passion and excitement of my usually calm and collected friend instantly stirred my curiosity. I leaped out of bed and followed him outside onto the balcony. In the distance the sky was shining with a bright, golden, shimmering light.
“They’re coming for us!” he said. “Today is the day! Oh, you’ll just love it! I’m so glad you got to stay and be here to see and experience this!” He reached over and put his arm around my shoulder and hugged me warmly. “This is a very big event and you’ll just love it!”
“Today is the day,” he repeated. “Today, Lambda One comes to take us to the Great City. Not only that, but today is also the Great Festival of the Prince of Peace! I can hardly wait!”
“Yes!” he said excitedly, hugging me again. “Today’s the day we move back to our home in the City!
Jamal took a deep breath and looked away at the golden glow in the sky that was even brighter now than before. Something very big but indiscernible to my limited senses was approaching Tricon. You could feel its great presence getting closer and closer, but I couldn’t see it yet. I didn’t have as finely tuned spiritual eyes as those I lived with here in this incredible realm. Who knows what wonders they could see all around that were hidden to me? Still, what I did see was beyond my wildest dreams and expectations.
“But what exactly is Lambda One?” I asked.
“It’s one of the greatest cargo and personnel carriers in the fleet,” he answered.
“A ship?” I asked, clearly puzzled as to the nature of the vehicle about to appear.
“You know, a transporter!” he said, “To take us to the City!”
“Is everyone from here going?” I asked at last.
“Oh, no,” was his reply, “just those–well, mostly just those–who are at the end of their shift. But of course some are going just to attend the Festival.”
“Help me understand,” I said. “Are you saying that you and your family were sent out here to help secure the frontier area for a certain amount of time?”
“Not exactly sent! We volunteered, and you know you’re helping to win the great battle against the Fallen Ones.” (JTT)
Warrior Band
One day a relatively small number of this band was called before the throne of the Bridegroom. He gathered them close to His bosom and spoke with them of His great love and desire for them, as though each one was the only one present. They knew and felt how deeply they were loved by Him, how their yieldedness and passion rejoiced His heart. They knew that He was very pleased with them and that they found great favor in His eyes. They knew, for He told them, that they were the apple of His eye, His prized possession. They knew that they were not only a highly trained spiritual fighting force, but that above all, they were cherished and desired as though they were the only one in the world who had captured the love of the Bridegroom.
Then He explained to them that they had been selected for a special mission, to be a counter force to Satan himself and his presence upon the Earth in the Last Days. They would be those who would preserve the spirit of the Lord‚ the purity of His light, love, power, freedom and revolution upon the Earth, lest the fire in that realm should flicker low and all chance of the King finding faith upon the Earth when He returned burn out completely. The King explained to the warriors in His presence that they had been chosen, thus He had called them‚ and now was presenting them with the choice of accepting this mission. (Fantastic Future ML#3624 (PDF))
So it would seem from our reading that it would not be stretching things too far to imagine that at the Rapture we go straight to the Heavenly Bowl and not into the City itself. So everyone that is saved is invited to the Judgment Seat of Christ cum Marriage Supper, and all the rewards and judgments are passed out and then everyone is whisked away to their place of continued learning. And as for those that this article is about… well, there are as we know huge space craft that could be used to transport them into the center of the earth, “outer darkness” that surrounds the “Sanctuary” by entering the North or South Pole portals, for example. And there they will be given time to rethink their lives on Earth. This idea is not so different to what we are now experiencing here on Earth. Before choosing to come to Earth we were asked if we wanted to come to Earth to learn a few lessons that could not be learned in Heaven. As it tells us in the Warrior Band prophecy, some of our band decided to come to Earth and some decided to stay in Heaven. It was pointed out to us that the best place to learn the lessons we wanted to learn was on Earth. That’s why we decided to come here. Well, what if you were approached during the Marriage Supper and it was pointed out that you didn’t score too well on Earth during your years there, “So what do you think of going to Paradise for some time in order to do some catch up classes?” Some people will be asked, but some may not be asked but told they will need to spend some time there. “You haven’t lost your Salvation; your home is still Heaven but you just have to go away for some time to take some more classes.” It really would seem like God’s mercy on some very recalcitrant people. They won’t go to Hell; it is after all paradise, almost like Heaven. That shows how merciful and loving God is. (Rehab Before Heaven)
(JTT) “But … but…” I stammered at the thought of how great this mysterious vehicle called Lambda One must be. Could it really take on board an entire herd of horses, plus a great number of people? The idea staggered my imagination. Yet to Jamal this was simply an accepted part of life, much like catching a bus or something. But this vehicle didn’t sound like any bus I knew. What could this transporter be like?
“Lambda is a symbol from angelic script. Later it became used by the Greeks in their alphabet and is the equivalent of the twelfth letter of your alphabet, the letter ‘L’.” Then as an afterthought, he added, “and it’s also the Lord’s initial!”
“The Lord seems to like the number 12!” I commented. “There are 12 months of the year, 12 tribes of Israel, 12 City gates, 12 disciples.”
“Yes, and,” Jamal continued, “Lambda was the last ship built of the original 12 ships of the Lord’s great exploration fleet. It’s certainly one of the most adaptable ships there is. It can translate to and operate in nearly any dimension of creation. It’s very user-friendly. Angels can operate it using the spiritual controls, but even a physical person could fly it using its physical controls. It can respond to telepathic as well as spoken commands. It’s extremely versatile.”
Like a schoolboy fascinated with airplanes, Jamal seemed to know all the details about this ship.
“How big is it?” I asked.
“Down in temporal space they usually scale this ship to be roughly the same proportions as God gave Noah for the ark. Only this ship is much bigger. It’s about 150 miles long, 25 miles wide, and 15 miles high at the thickest part of its midsection. The top is curved and tapers down to about one mile thick, which again narrows into this outer rim where we are. However, the measurements are not absolute, as the ship stretches and flexes.”
“You mean this ship can even change its size and shape?” I asked in surprise.
“Sure!” he replied. “It’s basically a living spiritual light form, so it’s able to adapt much more easily than something made entirely of physical material.”
“Let me show you around the ship,” Jamal offered.
“Great!” I replied, and we began to walk toward a shimmering circle-shaped door on the inner wall.
The portal, through which we entered, opened into a luxurious reception area far beyond what the finest hotel on Earth could boast. It had any number of beautiful and well-arranged lounging areas, an inviting pool and play area, and a very appealing buffet-style eating area.
On one side of this particular reception area were enormous, solid crystal view windows inset in the side of the ship. They began as part of the floor, then curved up the outer wall to a great height, then curved back in high above our heads following the contour of the ship. Through these windows, one could look out and see a great distance. In this particular reception area were at least three portal entrances that looked like large, decorative, circular observation windows cut into the floor, each one easily 15 meters across. Standing near a floor portal I felt a similar sensation to being in a glass-bottomed boat. There were other larger loading portals further back. Higher up on the inner wall, facing the windows, were several tiers of balconies overlooking the reception area. They seemed to lead into more accommodations for the passengers. No elevators or stairways were visible or needed, for the people simply approached the wall and floated up to their quarters.
1Thessalonians 5:4-5 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
1Thessalonians 4:16-17 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
MB: I don’t want you to lose focus at this point so I just want to take your mind back to Matthew 24 where it says: “then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven.” Before Jesus appears, the sign of the Son of man appears, it’s after that that the Son of man appears. The elites keep talking about an invasion from outer space. You can hold to the old school thought of Jesus standing in the clouds of heaven calling us up, and perhaps it may be exactly like that. But don’t you think it would be cool if He sent His fleet of 12 transporters with full blue plasma protection shields blazing as a special treat for His beloved? (End)
(JTT) Through the portals and windows, I could see what appeared to be a sea of crystal blue encapsulating the entire vessel in one great domelike shield.
“Are there more ships like this?” I asked Jamal.
“Oh, goodness, yes!” Jamal replied, almost amused. “And there are also other types of all sizes: personnel-carrying crafts, battleships, luxury cruisers, more transport vessels like this one, and of course there are the Lord’s own space vehicles and His ‘royal coach’ as we call it. You know, the one Ezekiel got to see once. That one is pretty wild!”
“But why do you need vehicles at all? Why would you need such a large ship as this, for example?” I wondered out loud.
“Well,” he replied, “this ship is useful at times like this, and it serves in all sorts of frontier and pioneer projects. When we explore some new regions, some new world, we can do so very effectively, moving large numbers of people and huge cargoes, sometimes complete cities if needed.”
MB: Just thinking about where in the verse it says Jesus coming the clouds of Heaven… Well it isn’t really that specific; there is room for interpretation. Where in the clouds Jesus will be when we meet Him is not clear. Whilst thinking about that part of scripture, another section of Tricon came to mind: “As he said that, Jamal gestured toward a beautiful, glowing, lifelike representation of Jesus on a far wall of the large reception area we were presently in. Odd, I hadn’t noticed it when we came in, but now it seemed to come alive. It was wonderful to just gaze into His reassuring face for a moment of peace, personal prayer, and thankfulness for Him. I can’t quite say if it was just an image of Jesus, or somehow it really was Him appearing for a moment to encourage us, but it looked so real and so alive. His eyes looked right into my very soul with understanding, and His Spirit was total purity, humility and much, much more. Just to see Him was a touch of utter ecstasy.”
MB: Just surmising but 12 x 150 mile long x 25 mile wide space transporters gives you, very approximately now, but you get 45,000sq miles of passenger space. Mind you, I didn’t calculate the 15 mile depth of each vessel. Not counting Antarctica there are 6 Continents. That is 2 transporters per continent. Australia most likely would not get its own transporter, and I would guess, delegating transporters, would depend on how many people are going to the Marriage Supper from different areas. If these transporters were to be stationed high above the stratosphere that would certainly give you the sensation of meeting the Lord in the air. The protective shields would deflect any debris or missile aimed at the invading space craft. (End)
(JTT) A bright flash appeared on the periphery of the force field. I glanced questioningly over to Jamal.
“That was just a meteorite or some small piece of cosmic debris being deflected or disintegrated by the shields.” Jamal continued, “There are other routes we could have taken to get to the City. We could have gone overland or at a slightly higher spiritual altitude, but this route is fun and interesting. Today we’re traveling through temporal space, following part of the original flight path taken by the great City itself when it was moved to its new location.”

“Get ready! It’s almost here!”
I began to sense it too. I looked around, searching the horizon as best I could, but saw nothing like a vehicle approaching. Only the sky was different, growing in intensity. Finally I asked, “Where will it come from, and how will it appear?”
“There! There!” Jamal said emphatically, pointing to a particularly luminescent part of the sky. “It’ll break through any moment!”
I can’t rightly describe what my eyes beheld in the next few moments. Back on Earth we have our theories about light and how it works, how it reflects off of objects and how it’s produced and how it moves. But some of the light here is different from any light I’d seen on Earth. This light, for lack of a better description, was living and had its own character and qualities. This light was so alive, and the sky became alive with its presence.
Brighter and brighter the sky became, and then an immense vessel began to take shape overhead, formed and fashioned of light. It filled the sky above and reached out in a long, spacecraft like shape that stretched for what seemed like an immeasurable distance off towards the horizon, filling much of one side of the sky. Above us, on the underside of this immense vehicle, were what appeared to be large, round, portal-shaped windows.
There was a glorious burst of heavenly music, like a thousand celestial trumpets blowing a beautiful chord to announce the ship’s arrival. Heavenly sounds rippled and vibrated through my very soul, filling my entire being with absolute ecstasy and elation. A great shout of jubilance went up from the city. I looked around at the streets that I could see from Jamal’s house. Every passageway was filled with happy waving people who were cheering and pointing up. Lambda One had arrived!
Jamal had not at all exaggerated the immensity of the excitement of this moment. If anything, he had understated it. The only word I can think to describe it is “rapturous.” Here was an immense celestial vehicle taking form above us, fashioned as far as I could tell, from a transcendent form of light. It was light that was alive and had a great sense of its own presence. It was magnificent to behold.
The great ship didn’t have to land to receive us, for the light itself seemed to move us. Bright silver fountains of joyous light splashed its underside and rained down upon the city and its inhabitants. Every face was lit with such joy.
Jamal took my hand and said, “All right, are you ready? This is it! Takeoff time!”
My wondrous experience in the library of rising through the air was minor in comparison to the overwhelming elation I now felt. A stream of living, joyful energy began to flow through my body and transform me in a moment. I held Jamal’s reassuring hand as we rose up, and others all around us as well. Up, up we ascended into the embrace of this celestial wonder. Closer and closer we drew to that magnificent, indescribably large vessel. Below us all over the city, countless people were rising. Men, women, children, even happy little family pets were joining them and entering into the bright portals that lined the undersides of the vessel as far as the eye could see.
The portals of Lambda One were somewhat like the shimmering doors of light at the great library near the center of Tricon.
SIGN OF THE SON OF MAN
MB: To be fair, following is what the book says about the “sign of the Son of Man”. (End)
(JTT) I just had to ask him another of my questions. “The Bible speaks of there appearing in the heavens ‘the sign of the Son of Man.’ When the Heavenly City emerges from hiding and people see it, will that be the sign?”
Jamal was full of his subject, “As the war intensifies, there will be other signs and wonders in the heavens. As that great day approaches, huge celestial ships like this one will begin to arrive, loaded with people coming in from everywhere in God’s great spiritual Kingdom. They’ll all come to join in the great battle and to enter the great Marriage Feast of the Lamb, and witness the wrath of God being poured out upon His enemies. So, most likely lots of odd things will happen in space, and the people on Earth will start getting the idea that the End is near. But certainly the final sign of the End will be when Jesus gives the command to show them the Holy City. When the City completely transposes from the spiritual realm to the physical, every eye shall see it, and the nations shall bewail.” (Journey to Tricon)
Prophecy, Jesus speaking: It’s a long way to the Heavenly City from Earth. Are you ready for an incredible journey? Man thinks he has far-out inventions. He thinks his little toy airplanes are wonderful, but they are simply figures or types of a much larger picture. Don’t put Me in a box; there are going to be far-out events happening right throughout creation and the universe as the time of My arrival draws closer. You think flying from one country to another is a big enough deal… When that epic day arrives, you had better be ready and expectant for big surprises. The people of the Earth will not be weeping and wailing for no reason.
If I wished, I could translate you directly to the Sea of Glass surrounding our City of Love, or I could bring in My fleet of transporters to give you a luxury cruise at slow supersonic speeds scheduled to take a few days, just to give you time to prepare yourselves in spirit for what I’ve got prepared for you at the coming Marriage Supper. Do you think you’ll just arrive at the bowl and know exactly where to stand or what the protocol will be? A lot of preparation has gone into the Marriage Supper and Judgment period. We don’t want people wandering around not knowing where they are seated or what table they’ve been allotted. You think the Grammy Awards takes a lot of organizing, who’s who and what is what and where is where. Just you wait and see; this event called the Marriage Supper is the greatest event the universe has ever witnessed. Don’t worry; you and the millions coming with you will be well prepped beforehand, and you will know the exact protocol when you arrive from Earth. (End)
THE GREAT GOLDEN BIRD! DFO 1574…24/7/83
1. I’VE BEEN DREAMING ABOUT THE GREAT GOLDEN BIRD! There’s nothing prettier, there’s nothing better for flying. (Maria: The angel was showing you the bird?) Yes. (Maria: And how was it shaped?) Just like a bird. (Maria: How big was it?) He said it was okay, I could tell you later. (Maria: He said you could tell me later?) Yes, when you were too tired to hear about it, he said that.(Maria: You never said anything about it, Honey, never, until just right now. You must have been dreaming that!) He knew you were too tired & couldn’t stay up all night. (Maria: Maybe so, but I never heard anything about it till just now.)
2. (MARIA: IS THE GOLDEN BIRD A SPACE VEHICLE?) Yes, of course! (Maria: Who rides in it?) We do! The Lord can’t make anything any prettier than a bird–except women. (Maria: You didn’t tell me how big it was.) It’s gigantic! It’ll hold hundreds of people like a big jumbo jet. (Maria: Is there only one of them, or are there many?) I don’t know. I only saw one. He was showing it to me & I was boarding it for some reason. (Maria: Did you see inside of it?) No, not hardly at all I don’t think. I don’t remember. I was just amazed at the size of it, looking it over from the outside. And since you were too tired & couldn’t hear any more, he said I could tell you later. But after all, it’s shaped just like a bird so I didn’t have to remember much.
3. IT WAS SHAPED JUST LIKE A BIRD!–BEAUTIFUL!–NO MOTORS, NO NOISE, NO STINK! It had huge legs, & when it was ready, it just spread its wings & leaped into the air, & then just slowly waved its wings! It rode so quiet & beautiful! It didn’t have stiff wings like an airplane, but it had wings that were really alive & that waved & beat slowly like a bird, up & down, & then just glided so quiet!–Just beautiful, just like a bird! In fact, it was a bird! It really was!
4. THAT’S WHY HE SAID I COULD TELL YOU TOMORROW, SINCE YOU WERE TOO TIRED TO LISTEN, BECAUSE IT WAS BUILT JUST LIKE A BIRD.–Same dimensions & proportions & everything, only it was gigantic! (Maria: But I wasn’t too tired to listen!) Yes, you were. (Maria: No, Honey! I’m never too tired to listen.) You were, you went to sleep! (Maria: You went to sleep too! Why didn’t you wake me up?) Because I was dreaming. I didn’t want to wake up. (Maria: I mean, why didn’t you wake me up?) Well, if I wasn’t awake, why should I wake you up?
5. BEING SICK LIKE THIS IS KIND OF GOOD BECAUSE IT’S LIKE YOU’RE DRUNK! It’s like I’m in the spirit all the time, only half here. And if it’s just half of you, it doesn’t hurt so much. The other half is seeing great things! Come on, Honey, I’ll tell you all about the big bird! (Maria: You just did right now.) I didn’t. (Maria: Just now you did.) I didn’t! (Maria: You didn’t?) No! I didn’t tell you all about it, I just told you a little bit! (Maria: Is there more to tell me?) I’ll tell you later. (Maria: You don’t want to tell me now?) I’m too tired.
6. IT’S FUNNY, I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT THAT BEFORE!–THE LORD’S ALREADY DESIGNED THE BEST KIND OF SHIP HE COULD DESIGN! (Maria: Remember I asked you if there were spaceships for us to ride in, & you said the Lord doesn’t need them? I guess He doesn’t need them, but He has them, huh?) There was this great golden bird! I told you! I said, “Except for the great golden bird!” (Maria: I never heard it before!) The angel said you couldn’t stand any more, & he said, “Don’t worry, you can tell her later!”–And then he showed me how it was built. And it wasn’t hard to remember because it’s just like a bird, only it was so big!
7. WE MADE IT, THANK THE LORD, WE MADE IT THROUGH THE NIGHT! (Maria: We’ve been praying & the children have been praying we’d have more dreams about Heaven.)
