Matthews 18: 2-3. Jesus called a small child over to Him and set the little fellow down among them - and said, "Unless you turn to God from your sins and become as little children, you will never get into the Kingdom of Heaven."

My pilgrimage, in the Book of Revelation, is an inspiration to understand the vision the Apostle John had. After reading this book many times over - so much so that my Bible literally smells like money from all the times my fingers have touched the pages - it became clearer to me that he was witnessing the manner in which Jesus Christ our Lord would manifest Himself. Symbolizing His second coming, through corrective measures, by the faithful in Him. Each Church focused on a particular precept, only later was it revealed to me that they represented the Ten Commandments. My first impression - diagram A - is the mandala image that each of the Churches are confronted with. The spiritual road pilgrims have to travel on, in overcoming their sinful predicament. As it became more revealing to me - diagram A - I became filled with the Holy Spirit, it is difficult to describe in words how overwhelmingly joyful I felt, over such a child like drawing. By profession, I am a qualified handbag designer, I therefore have the skill to draw professionally - but at no time in my worldly career did I experience such an enthusiasm as when this image was inspired in me. I certainly was not aware of the things to come. This image opened the door to my spiritual quest that I had been praying for so long. At a glance, I could understand the Lord's plan for humankind, without the mantle that separates our sinful conscience from the Good Lord. As I meditated deeply in the grasp of the Holy Spirit and the Word, the drawing evolved into the image - diagram B - portrays. At the same time I began to write everything down, which before was hidden from me as secrets of sacred scripture - the revelation came at me like a waterfall of golden olive oil. My own family thought I was going nuts - but the joy which I was experiencing was greater than their criticism and is to this day still sustaining me. Mercifully the Lord has shown some of them that there is reason in my madness, I pray that the Holy Spirit open their spiritual hearts - so that they may see the Truth, setting them free as I have been set free.

In the inside front cover of my notebook, in which I wrote the elaboration to the book of Revelation, I drew the Mandala - diagram C. The elaboration of the book of Revelation in this notebook has gone through much editing to what it is currently on computer today. This is an ongoing process documented in the correction pages. Diagram D illustrates the Pearly Gates of Heaven's parallel image - diagram B and C and H. Now this Pearl Mandala has evolved as the image of the Pearly Gates of Heaven. At this time, the construction of the New Jerusalem was still a mystery to me. The Pearl exposed the opening to the secrets that were later revealed in Diagram E and F. These revealed secrets kept my spirit up, I too was enthusiastically surprised in discovering the Truthfulness that the Holy Spirit was guiding me in. In my mind everything continually fell into place like a large puzzle, the pieces is the Word revealed in scripture. To me these Mandalas represent a bird's eye view, what the Holy Spirit is revealing to me through thousands of Words.

After reading Revelation chapter 21, many times over, it became clear that the New Jerusalem resembled a cube. Interestingly a cube consists of Twelve edges, I had often seen pictures from other visionaries, portraying the pearly gates at the base of the cube's foundation, three on each side, resembling a castle. In my mind, it was not equally distributed. I did not see the Kingdom of Heaven as being a physical place - but rather as a refuge of brotherly and sisterly love. The scripture had taught me that the Kingdom of Heaven is within every individual. The Temple of the Lord is our Purified Bodies (Hearts) and Minds. Due to scripture metaphorically portraying people as building material, it dawned in me that the Kingdom of Heaven is an ideal of the people, coming down from Heaven. Therefore, each building block represented a person with the knowledge of God. The deeds of these people are what make the Kingdom successful, without action, there can be no Kingdom or entrance into it, occupying the cubes that it portrays in its design. Diagram E and F is an open plan of the shell of the cube, how each cube is positioned, so the whole construction firmly fits together. Notice how the stencilled skeleton of the pearls is not the same size as the three dimensional image in diagram G, in relation to the cube. It was later revealed that there are many mansions in Jesus Christ's Father's house (John 14: 2). The diagram of the one twelfth of the New Jerusalem explains this phenomena.

By this time, when diagram G was revealed, I still had no idea what the inside of the cube looked like. I had an idea of the inside of the pearls, as diagram D, I and J illustrates - but was still in the dark about the construction of the Golden City inside the cube. Diagram K was a model I made from diagram E. I pondered over this model for hours, hoping that the Lord would reveal to me its secrets. For example, by holding the cube with the corner pointing up, notice how three pearls point up, three pearls point down, three pearls point left and three pearls point right, this confirmed the scripture Revelation 21: 13. The walls, which are the Brides of Jesus, the 144,000 - are the six sides of the cube; and the twelve Apostles are the foundational frameworks of the cube. Notice how each pearl is embedded into a foundation, with six thousand Brides of Jesus on each shoulder of the Twelve Sons of Israel, as described in Revelation chapter 7. Also, notice how the three pearls that point up; and the three pearls that point down, form two triangular pyramids, shaped as the star of David. It was only after it was revealed to me that there was a biggest and a smallest measurement (Alpha and Omega), to this house of the Father. I realized I was now confronted with a measurement consisting of a number from the square root of two. The inside of the cube's area was an infinite number, due to the fact that the diagonal of a square had to be multiplied by the square root of two. At first, it was a rattling problem because of the excess space. Eventually it dawned in me, that excess space is the Holy Spirit as portrayed in the chapter, The Children of God. The six pyramid structures inside the cube are covered with a thin infinite layer called the Holy Spirit. At the apex of all six pyramids is the Holiest of Holy.
