This ensign Cross reveals the New Jerusalem. The six sided Sacred Cube as in the Mandala of Heaven and Hell, unfolded to expose the sacrificial Cross, which all the Holy Saints bear. This Cross indeed seems a burden to carry by the world outside; but to the Holy Ones, it is a blessing. The obedience to the Commandments is our reward and it will ensure eternal life.
The ensign Cross depicts The Twelve Tribes of Israel, who is The Bride of God The Father, Mother of Jesus Christ, born through the pearly gates of the Commandments. The Apostles are the foundational framework, on which the whole structure is held together. The Brides of Jesus Christ the 144,000, who represent the second coming, they being one body in marriage, protects the faith by its teachings, symbolic for the walls of faith. All may enter but only if the Commandments are understood and upheld.
The ensign Cross; is like a rolled out jasper carpet, which attracts the faithful to walk on in righteousness, from the four corners of the globe. Once inside they will walk on streets of gold (with precious knowledge), at the same time a fortress of gold to its Children inside; as depicted by the Sacred Cube, the Body (live in precious knowledge, proved clean by fire of brilliant excellence) of Jesus our Lord and Saviour. Psalms 71: 2-3. Deliver me in your righteousness and cause me to escape, incline your ear to me and save me. Be my strong habitation, to which I may continually resort, you have given commandment to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress.
This ensign Cross that we carry is not heavy to the believers; but a pleasure to bear due to their representation, whether it is opened or closed depends on ourselves whether we believe or not. Psalms 119: 35. Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; for in that do I delight. Psalms 119: 97. MEM. O how I love thy law! It is my meditation all the day. Matthew 11: 28-30. Come to me, all ye that labour and are heavy-laden, I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and lowly in heart, ye shall find rest to your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.

This ensign Cross, represents the Sons of Man (we are all one in union with Christ. Galatians 3: 28). It must be lifted up and believed, as the serpent of Moses was lifted up on a pole. John 3: 14. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up. This cross is not made of brass (alloy of copper and zinc) but of human beings obedient to the laws of the commandments; therefore, it must not be honoured as a dead idol image; but for the Brotherly Love, which it represents. Do not honour the image but the people who represent it. 2^nd Kings 18: 4. He removed the high places, broke the images, cut down the groves and broke in pieces the brazen serpent that Moses had made, for till those days the children of Israel burnt incense to it; and he called it Nehushtan (made of copper). The significance of it must be respected, as if to honour our fellow, so that through the love for each other, we can love God whom we can not see. Those who believe will be protected from the stings of sin. Numbers 21: 9. And Moses made a serpent of brass and put it upon a pole; and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived. This is so, John 3: 15. That whoever believeth in him should not perish but have eternal life. Our sins are forgiven, if we believe and uphold the commandments of God; portrayed on the cross, as His Family who fulfil them. If we disobey the commandments with complaints of disbelief, we will create enemies. To forgive and be forgiven we must turn the other cheek, becoming examples to each other. By upholding the one who fulfilled the law, "Christ Jesus," with obedience, we can have eternal life with Him in memory, as in Numbers 21: 9. In Numbers 21: 5-7. And the people spoke against God and against Moses. Why have ye brought us out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no bread, neither is there any water, our soul loathes this light bread. And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people; and they bit the people and many people of Israel died. Therefore the people came to Moses and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the LORD and against you, pray to the LORD, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people. 1^stCorinthians 15: 55-56. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
Israel - had lost faith in the Lord; they were beginning to forget the miracles that had occurred in Egypt, the ten plagues and the crossing of the Red Sea. Their lack of faith in the commandments began to have negative consequences. As the serpent in the garden of Eden beguiled Eve and Adam into disobedience, Israel too was beguiled. Moses, who was guided by the Lord's mercy due to Israel's repentance, reminded Israel of what happened in the garden of Eden - symbolized by the brass serpent. The brass serpent reminded Israel of the consequences of sin. It was not erected as an idol of worship - but as a reminder of how the serpent had beguiled Eve and Adam in disobeying the Lord. It would be similar to a father warning a disobedient child - by showing them his belt, as an instrument of punishment. Their own evil behaviour was starting to produce evil fruits - symbolized metaphorically by the serpent's venomous bite. The brass serpent represented a warning, turning them to the Ark of the Covenant were the Ten Commandments were kept. The Cross-of Jesus represents both - salvation and the consequence of sin, Heaven on the inside or hell on the outside. The reminder of the brass serpent repelled the stings of sin, guiding Israel unto the promised Messiah - the New Jerusalem.
