A huge amount of revelation contains symbolism such as Jesus being a Lamb, a woman riding a dragon, a number being branded on peoples forehead and hand, a city that would make the earth wobble at best, etc. Understanding the symbolism is critical.

It is all symbolic of what a human evolves into, the Temple is a city, the temple is a human, and a human is a city, is a garden. We say that Jesus is the New Adam, that we were created from his own body, and he dwells within us as ALL Adams do. The first Adam was also lain down in a sleep of death so that a bride was taken from his own body and he likewise became the spirit inside all humans until we needed a new Adam. Adam's spirits are still present.
The garden was just showing what humans were before the fall when the most beautiful creature is called the covering cherub that covers Adam and Eve in precious stone just like we see in the precious stone of Revelation. Before the fall, the most beautiful creature wasn't evil, it was just the covering, the most beautiful of all God's creation.
Revelation is simply returning things back to a beautiful garden/body.
Cain didn't kill his brother, he silenced and squashed out the hidden spiritual man of the heart. We see Jacob standing inside the skins of an animal to represent his brother Esau and this is actually a very clear representation of what we are, one brother standing inside the other, and Cain truly was the house that his brother lived in, and thus, keeper of his brother.
The New Testament actually explains this thing showing us that we have two mothers who are named Hagar, and Sarah, and we are the sons of both these women in that we are of the seed of Isaac the free, but the son of the slave woman is still present within us, that there is one law for the bond's woman and her son, and another law of freedom that pertains to our mother Sarah if we are also the son of the free woman.
The Faith of Moses
23By faith Moses’ parents hid him for three months after his birth, because they saw he was a beautiful child, and they were unafraid of the king’s edict. 24
By faith Moses, when he was grown, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter. 25He chose to suffer oppression with God’s people rather than to experience the fleeting enjoyment of sin.…
Everyone has to make a decision to sweep their house out and get ready to leave in Passover, you have to refuse to be the son of Pharaoh, and you have to choose to be God's son in Israel. Even Israel looked back to Egypt and some were swallowed up whole by the Earth, some died by flying firey serpent, and all sorts of calamities because you have to commit either way.
Choosing to follow God is a long violent path that a person walks in, and although the millions are called, there are few that stay to the task in order to become a new nation, a new creation through the waters. Just as a man plants an abundance of seed, only one or two will cross over the waters who are able to latch on to the uterus to be born at all. Only two men crossed over into the promised land who were there from the beginning, out of a million people, ONLY TWO MEN crossed over, the two witnesses of the Lord.
God was on that Mountain as a bridegroom about to consummate a marriage between Man and God. Their bodies would have all been houses that housed the sons of the living God, and their bodies would have given birth from the consummation of God, and these would have all been firstfruits to the Lord as sons of God who would be a nation of priests and kings, but because they went back to their paganism, God said,'' Now the whole world will be filled with the knowledge of the Lord.''
All that time, the temple stood as a virgin and that veil had never been torn until Jesus, ALL THAT TIME from Mount Sinai to the Mount of Jesus, this was the very first time that all the traditions and rituals of all the feast days were realized in a single day, each law of all the sacrifices displayed out for all to see.
Here was the very first pure virgin, the very first to consummate a betrothal with God in order to bear an immortal son of God, and not only he, but now there are many sons to follow as brethren to the first born son.
Everyone is born the son of the left hand, but what matters is if you are able to crossover from the left to the right. You have to get reborn as the son of the right hand. If you are born again, you are born into a body that doesn't even belong to you. Being born again is LITERAL, it is a real live, real thing created in you to raise.
