The Lord's Two Ships

The Virtual Tour

As you stand before the Revelation and the Revelation II, on the dock, they are 175' long and 40' wide. There are five decks including the observation deck. These decks are from top to bottom:

As we come aboard The Revelation we will board from the aft deck, which has two sets of stairs going up to the Main Deck Which is the Dining Deck. We could go down to the Berth Deck via the steps or use the Elevator. Let's use the Elevator going down. We'll go down to the Engine/Berth Deck to begin our tour.

ELEVATOR

The elevator services the Berth / Engine Room Deck, Dining Deck, Sanctuary Deck and the Executive Lounge / Bridge Deck. It is located Aft, about 50' from the stern.If you see the Dome on the masthead deck it is basically just to the right of it.

STORAGE / ENGINE ROOM / BERTH DECK

In the aft of the ship below decks(at the waterline) are two sections of storage for wet and dry foods. Next to these storage areas is the engine room, water makers and generators for the ship. There will be three 3512 Caterpillar Diesel engines. Thes center engine will be used for the harbor cruises saving fuel for sure. The rest of the deck contains showers and staterooms for a crew of 14 and 18 guests. Each stateroom will have an original Master Christian Artist's rendition of a Bible personality and the event that he was known for. There are 12 staterooms below plus the Captain's topside on the executive lounge / bridge deck.

THE DINING DECK

As we entered on to the ship from the aft section there were two sets of steps from the stern that lead up to the Aft Deck of the Dining Deck. As you begin to enter into the first room, there is a slight incline, for this is where the double sliding glass doors will slide in for inclimate weather conditions to enclose the ship tightly. Next, after you cross the threshold, you come into a foyer, with a two deck high atrium with a Chandelier in the center. A double set of stairs we call "The Grand Staircase". Leading up to "The Lord's Sanctuary" <The Church Deck>. In the center of the entrance to the Dining Deck is a statue of the Lord bearing the Cross on His way to Golgotha. As you walk through the center aisle you enter into the Dining room itself with a buffet style setting. It serves 130 people at one time. Up Forward is the complete professional Galley. The booths for seating are very similiar to the Las Vegas style showroom booths, roomy and comfortable. Going back thru the Dining Room, we will go up " The Grand Staircase " starboardside .

"The Lord's Sanctuary"

Again, To the aft of the ship on the Dining Deck, there is "The Grand Staircase" leading up to The Lord's Sanctuary Deck. There are steps leading up to The Lord's Sanctary on both sides! and they are semi-circular in design. Upon reaching the top of "The Grand Staircase ", behind you, on the otherside of the atrium space, is the control booth which controls all of the 11 video cameras plus one rover camera. When the Sunday service event is in operation the whole of the event may be televised "live" via satellite.

Moving toward the bow of the ship you enter into "The Lord's Sanctuary " itself. It has two double swinging doors. Each "leaf" has a part of a cherubim carved in it. When the doors are closed the whole Cheruabim appears! On the wall facing aft, inbetween the two double doors, is a Wall Mural showing the Lord Jesus walking on the water with both the Revelation and the Revelation II behind him.

As you enter into "The Lord's Sanctuary" Through the Starboardside (Rightside) Double-leaf doors is the Elevator, which is just inside the Sanctuary. There are panels of Cedar of Lebanon on the walls. Each panel is three foot wide by eight feet tall and two inches thick with a separate 3" interlocking trim at the floor and the ceiling. First is A blank panel then begins an alternating series of panels down both sides of the sanctuary. There are seven carved palm tree panels down each side of the Sanctuary. Between each panel is another panel with a carved two-headed cherubim with a lion's head looking at the palmtree on the left and a bearded man's head looking at the carved palm tree panel on the right. Above each cherubim is the name of one of the tribes of Israel listed in the Book of Revelation. Here is a Revelation for you. The Palm Tree represents, according to Strongs, uprightness, strength, Holiness, Sanctuary .. No wonder HE calls it, "The Lord's Sanctuary" .

The seating is one of a unique style .... There are seats for 130 people (plus the crew of 14 =144) seating on one side is for 72 and 72 for the other side... what is different is that each side is angled so that they can see both the platform, where the praise and worship team leads worship, and each other. A center aisle goes forward and aft through the Sanctuary. With two aisles on the outside as well. ... There is no pulpit.

The Lord's Sanctuary: "The Lord's Table "

In front of the platform at the end of the center aisle is The Lord's Table that is 63" high and 42" square (3cubits x 2 cubits Egyptian cubit). Although it does not describe it in detail in Ezekiel I prayed and asked the Lord to show it to me. It is made of Acacia Wood. It has two golden angels kneeling facing each other with their wings touching at the center of the table, both are anchored with 4 pegs into the top of the Table .

On a 6" x 42" facing, on all four sides, are 3 precious stones on each side, representing the three tribes of that side(mentioned below). The Legs are of a "V" shape at each corner and are 3"x63" (8)- 2 for each corner forming the "V") There are (4) "walls" each of the sides Carved with the images of the standards and the Name of each of the 4 Tribes; Judah, Rueben, Ephaim, and Dan; representing the four original tribes that were stationed about the tabernacle; east, south, west and north as mentioned in the book of Numbers.

Judah: to the East with The Tribes of Issachar and Zebulun represented on the Rightside as you face The Lord's Table looking towards the Bow.

Rueben: To the South With the Tribe of Simeon and the Tribe of Gad represented on the Frontside as you face The Lord's Table.

Ephraim: To the West With the Tribe of Manessah and the Tribe of Benjamin represented on the Leftside as you face The Lord's Table.

Dan: ........ To the North With the Tribes of Asher; and the Naphtali represented on the Backside as you face The Lord's Table.

"So the tribes of both the old and new testaments that are represented in the scriptures, are also represented in "The Sanctuary of the Lord!"

Behind "The Lord's Table" is the platform where the praise and worship team will minister to the people. There are three permanently stationed remote cameras and one rover that will telecast the services from The Lord's Sanctuary. On the aft deck is a baptistry with some chairs for an informal seating arrangement. The Chef's Office is forward of platform in The Lord's Sanctuary.

BRIDGE / EXECUTIVE LOUNGE DECK

Going aft of the control room on either side are doors leading to the outside deck and there on the portside are a set of stairs leading up to the Executive Lounge and Bridge Deck. There is an outside portion that will have a table and chairs for casual lounging. Then we walk into the Executive Lounge where to the left is some private seating for eight. A formal dining table seating for 14 for dinners and meetings of the crew. Another informal seating arrangement for eight on the Starboard side with a computer area. There is a small galley for the crew in the Executive Lounge making it much easier to accomodate the crew without having to use the formal dining deck The Capt's Quarters are located up here in the Bridge Area as well.

The Bridge Deck has three chairs at the helm and a map table and all the necessary electronics to operate the ship from the Bridge. The monitors on the Bridge see exactly what the Control Room sees. They are four-bys... meaning that there are four camera views to each monitor. 12 total cameras.

OBSERVATION DECK

There is a set of steps leading up to the observation/flying bridge deck which houses the elevator housing, and all the Electronic Gear and Antennae that is required for the operation of the Revelation and the Revelation II. Also, this is where the gas filled life rafts are located along the sides of the railing. 3 tables seating 18 people are located up forward and the Flying Bridge Controls are up forward as well with a protective covering, a glass windbreaker uptopside for the protection of both the crew and guests.

Now before we go, there is one thing we need to deal with, the size of the ships. 100 cubits x 18" is equal to 150' but the Lord put upon me to make the ships larger to handle all that had to done aboard the ships. So I figured around 165-175'. But, when the Naval Architect got done with the designs it turned out to be almost a 175'! So, I'm going What? Then about 3 years after the designs of the Ships were done and in the tube, I read a fasinating article on The Cubit. It seems that the cubit was 18" but back in the day of the prophets They used The Eygptian Cubit which was 21"! hmm?

100 x 21= 2100 / 12= 175! wow Now, that's Awesome!
