REVELATION - 19 9-16

 Apocalypse logic & riddles, weekly study, verses paraphrased [ ] references { } thots

BOOK OF REVELATION

9 - And the angel said to me (disciple John, seeing the vision in his old age while a prisoner at an island prison) “Write this - Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb!!” {Mt.25:1-13 - In the parable of the ten bridesmaids, the door is to serving, called reigning during the Lord’s long second advent!

     The door is to the wedding and banquet/reception/supper/feast {sharing}. Which is the catching away of dead and alive believers - aka the resurrection, called the first {partial collective, eschatological} resurrection. It is the wedding, the union.

     “The door” closes to “the” millennium. It is noT a door to Life, forever closed. The door is to the wedding supper/banquet/reception and what comes after, up to the second, rest of humanity, eschatological vivification, at Rev.21:5 - “behold!! I make all new!” The word “things” was inserted). This vivification is not simultaneous with its partner resurrection! But between the second resurrection and the second vivification is the GWT judgment/discernment/review/closure for all ‘Day’. And to “rise into the judgment” Jn.5:29, is to rise “still in ones sins” [hamartia - missing the mark] {not yet perfected}. The judgment is of course the GWT Judgment ‘Day’, elsewhere called an aionion kolasis/eonian korrection/age of correction, with logical, INITIAL inner torment for some (few? comparatively speaking that is) aka, the condition of misery, being the inner, outside of the light, darkness ..with gnashing of teeth.. Think, for example, of a heartless and cruel despot, rising into the judgment radiance. But Jesus said he “will draw all” - Jn.12:32, so this tormented from within condition will progress to weeping, beating self up.. with many stripes.. And finally to heart and gut wrenching remorse (during judgment) when seeing the faces of those he stomped on, hurt and harmed, even killed.

     But finally, after a while (purgatory flames are psychological) coming to realize ..God, loving Presence/Spirit (Holy Ghost all loving) and mercy.. “Christ Crucified”.. the remedy God instituted, it being strong enough to appease every conscience, even the worst. And the initial condition of some is portrayed in the rich man and Lazarus parable and in the outside-of-the vision, narrative, of Rev.22.}

    (9) And the angel said to me, “These are the true words of God!” 10 And I fell at his feet {overwhelmed?} to worship him, but he said, “Don’t do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brethren who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God, for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.” {Prophecy includes the spirit of teaching. The prophets taught and guided, along with telling where things were/are headed.}

     11 Then I saw heaven opened, and look! There was a white horse! {The gospel, the Truth, which rode forth “openly victorious over powers and principalities”. Led to the idea of individual worth, and God given rights not rights granted by earthly kings, etc. Taking hold especially in western civilization (Christendom). Nuclear family culture, some stability for a while.. Then the “falling away” due to a “strong delusion” of “man(kind, anthropoi) seated in the temple as god”/highest power, 2Thess.2:4.}

     And the one - sitting on the white horse - is called “Faithful and True”. In righteousness he judges and makes war {rescues, vindicates, works justice}. 12 His eyes are like flames of fire {penetrate} and upon his head are many crowns. He has a name written that no one knows but he himself. 13 He is clothed in a robe that was dipped in blood, and the name by which he is called is The Word/Message of God. {Master blueprint and plan. Embodiment of Truth. Crowned forever.}

     14 And the armies oF heaven, arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, were following him on white horses. 15 From his mouth comes a sharp sWord (Truth!) with which to strike down the nations, and he will {then} shepherd them (the nations/this is obviously future) with a rod (measuring rod) of iron (i.e. is un-breakable - truth cannot be broken, or done away with). He treads the winepress of the fury of God the Almighty. [Fury - thumos - from thuo - to rush {7 thunders? Well, six.. as one is presently past} or to breathe hard] [Wrath - orgé - passion, wrath, indignation, a settled and abiding condition of mind with a view to justice {scales of justice! Cause and effect!} Settled indignation going forth ‘wrath’/consequences] {at cruel and heartless evils, the passion} [Isaiah 13:9 says - Behold, the day of the LORD comes, cruel, with fury and fierce anger - to make the land a desolation, and to destroy its sinners from off it.] {But as cause and effect. Apocalypse is all man done. Even the final “bowls” called “of God’s wrath” ..The “seven thunders”. Though one is past. Seven Thunders - Rev.10:4 (over and out, six are future. Didn’t 13:13 pinpoint an oFFice? NoT an individual.. as of yet). The thunders being Seal six but VEILED BY its description, a blend of its 1st aNd last effects, Rev.6:12-17; 7:1,3.} {That 13:13 is the first seal 6 event, is possible because the vision is actually told three times, 6:1-2 to 11:19; ch.12 but vs.17 w/ mt.23:39; and 13:1 to 19:11, rejoining at the 7th trumpet’s sounding.}

     16 On his robe and upon his thigh he has a name written, “King of kings and Lord of lords!” [Upon his robe - “Inscriptions on the outer garments were sometimes used by distinguished personages. The title anticipates the final victory - from biblehub dot com.]

 • Ephesians 1:15-23  John 9:22-34 and Rev.19:9-16 separately

            ☀️ Ephesians 1:15-23

15 - I (Paul) have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints. 16 So I always give thanks when I remember you in my prayers. 17 Prayers that the God of our Lord Jesus, the Father of glory, may give you the Spirit of wisdom, and of revelation in the knowledge {and understanding} of him.

     18 That the eyes of your hearts will be opened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you! And what is the great wealth of his glorious inheritance in the saints. {Even in CU there is great benefit in being in the “first resurrection” - Mt.13:30 as Rev.16:14-15-16 and Mt.25:1-13, door to serving called reigning during long second advent, full scope version of his so brief first one. Though when all is done, all will be so greatly blessed. The Greek word translated “end” or “the end” is tel. It’s the root of the word telescope. And it means the “end-aim”. Surely the prophetic pattern is from scope to scope until reaching full scope, at the end-aim.}

     19 And to understand what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us! {Especially} toward we who believe. And this is according to the working of his great might, 20 the same might and power that he worked in Christ, when he raised him from death, and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realm 21 far above all rule, authority, power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the {ones} to come. [Word for word - not only in the age this but also in the coming.]

     22 And he put all [pas] under his feet and gave him as head over all [pas] the church, 23 which is his body, the one all in all filling! [“Pas en pas” - Translators (due to partial dis-belief?) changed “all” (pas) into “all things” whenever possible. Whereas all things in all things doesn’t really work well.]

            🌙 John 9:22-34

22 - The man born blind’s parents said this because they feared the leaders, for they had already agreed, if anyone should confess Jesus to be the Christ, they were to be put out of the synagogue. 23 That’s why his parents said, “He’s of age, ask him.”

     24 So for the second time they called the man who had been born blind and said to him, “Give glory to God. We know this man is a sinner!”

     25 But he answered, “Whether he’s a sinner I don’t know. One thing I do know, though I was blind, now I can see.”

     26 They asked him again, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?” 27 He answered, “I told you already. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you also want to become his disciples?”

     28 “You are his disciple!” they said. “But we are disciples of Moses! 29 We know God spoke to Moses, but as for this man! We” [authorities, professionals, political leaders more than religious/spiritual] “don’t know where, he, comes from!” {Religious as devoted, not “psuedo”. Slapping someone else we think of as SELF ‘righteous’ with the label religious, is not accurate.. self righteous would be devoted to self more than God. And it’s very possible if I think of myself as spiritual, I can be just as devoted to self/look at me sentiment. Any “it’s all about moi” misses the mark.}

     30 The man answered, “This is an amazing thing! You don’t know where he comes from! And yet he opened my eyes! 31 We know God doesn’t listen to sinners. But if anyone is a worshiper of God and does his will, God listens to them. 32 Never since the world began, has it been heard of that someone has opened the eyes of a man born blind! 33 If this man wasn’t from God, he couldn’t do it.”

     34 They answered him, “You were born in utter sin! And would, you, teach us!” And they threw him out of the synagogue.

 • Ephesians 1:11-14  John 9:14-21

            ☀️ Ephesians 1:11-14

11 - It’s in Jesus that we obtain the inheritance! We were predestined according to the purpose of he who works all things according to the counsel of his own will. 12 So we who were the first to hope in Christ, might be to the praise of his glory. {As examples of his saving grace upon that “last great day” the GWT judgment/discernment/review/closure for all ‘Day’/aionion-day/aion/eon.}

     13 In him you also - when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him - you were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit{/Presence of God} 14 which is the - guarantee [arrabón - pledge, guarantee, down payment] - of our inheritance until {that day} we acquire possession of it, to the praise of HiS glory.

            🌙 John 9:14-21

14 - Now it was a Sabbath day when Jesus made the mud and opened the man born blind’s eyes. 15 So the Pharisees again asked the man how he had received his sight. And he said, “He put mud on my eyes, and I washed, and now I see.” 16 Some of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, for he doesn’t keep the Sabbath!” But others said, “How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?” And there was division among them. 17 So they said again to the blind man, “What do you say about him, since he has opened your eyes?” He said, “He’s a prophet.” {Metaphor, mud, earth, objectivity, reality, seeing what is real can open eyes. Truth is not subjective, but is.}

      18 The leaders didn’t believe he had been blind and had received his sight, so they called the parents of the man who had received his sight 19 and asked them, “Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then does he now see?”

    20 His parents answered, “We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind, 21 but how he now sees we don’t know. And we don’t know who opened his eyes. Ask him, he’s of age. He can speak for himself.”

 • Ephesians 1:1-10  John 9:1-13

            ☀️ Ephesians 1:1-10

1 - Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God - To the saints [hagios - sacred, set apart] who are in Ephesus, and are faithful in Christ Jesus:

     2 Grace to you! And peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus. 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord, who has blessed us in him with every spiritual blessing of the heavenly realms. 4 Even as he chose us in him before the world, that we should be holy [from hagos "a fearful thing"] and blameless before him, in love. 5 He predestined us for adoption to himself as sons and daughters through Jesus Christ, according to what he purposes, the working out of his will, 6 to the praise of his glorious grace! With which he has blessed us in the beloved.

     7 In him we have redemption {changed course} through his blood {and Life} the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the richness of his grace, 8 which he has lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight, 9 making known to us the mystery of his will. And this is according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ Jesus, 10 as THE plan for the fullness {completion} of time, to unite all in him. The all of heaven and the all upon earth. [All is pas - “all, every, the whole”. The word “things” was inserted three times in this verse, turning “all” into “all things”. Due to translator partial disbelief?]

            🌙 John 9:1-13

1 - As Jesus was passing by, he saw a man who was blind from birth. 2 And his disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” 3 Jesus answered, “It wasn’t that this man sinned, or his parents, but that the works of God might be displayed in him.” {Same for this whoLe imperfection/entropy, allowed, oR we could be an ant farm.}

     Jesus continued, 4 “We must work the works of He who sent me while it’s day. Night’s coming, when no one can work. 5 As long as I’m in the world, I’m the light of the world.”

     6 After saying this, he spit on the ground, made mud, and anointed the man's eyes with the mud. 7 Then he said, “Go and wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means Sent). So he went and washed and came back seeing.

     8 The neighbors and some who had seen him before as a beggar were saying, “Is this not the man who used to sit and beg?” 9 Some said, “It is.” Others said, “No, he only looks like him.” But he kept saying, “I am the man!” 10 So they said, “Then how were your eyes opened?” 11 He answered, “The man called Jesus made mud and anointed my eyes and said to me, ‘Go to Siloam and wash.’ So I went and washed and received my sight.”12 They said to him, “Where is he?” He said, “I don’t know.”

     13 And they brought the man who had been born blind, to the Pharisees.

ACTS 19:1-20

 Luke wrote “of the things fulfilled among us” paraphrased  [ ] ref  { } thots

     Book of the Acts of the First Believers

1 - And so it happened that while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul passed through the northern country of Asia and came to Ephesus. (During his second “missionary journey”.) There he found some disciples, 2 and he asked them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit{/Presence of God} when you believed?”

     And they said, “No, we’ve not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.” 3 So he said, “Into what then were you baptized?” They said, “Into John's baptism.” 4 And Paul said, “John baptized with the baptism of repentance, telling the people to believe in the one who was to come after him, and that one is Jesus.”

     5 Upon hearing this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 6 Then Paul laid hands on them (while praying to God) and the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they began speaking in tongues {another earthly language or the spiritual prayer language for quieting the heart} and they prophesied. 7 There were twelve men in all. [Not all speak in tongues. Paul wrote “do all heal? Do all prophecy? Do all speak in tongues?” 1Cor.12:30.]

    8 Then he went to the synagogue and for three months he spoke openly and freely there, reasoning and persuading about the kingdom of God.

     9 But then some who continued to resist the message, became agitated, and began to slander and insult the way to the people of the synagogue. So he stayed away from there, as did the disciples with him. And so he reasoned and taught daily in the hall of Tyrannus instead.

     10 This continued for two years, so all who lived in Asia heard the message [logos] of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks. 11 And God was doing extraordinary works by the hands of Paul, 12 so that even handkerchiefs or cloths used for aprons which had touched him, were carried back to the sick, and their diseases left them, and evil spirits were cast out.

     13 Then some of the itinerant Jewish exorcists undertook to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, “I adjure you by the Jesus whom Paul preaches.” 14 The seven sons of a Jewish high priest named Sceva were doing this, 15 but the evil spirit answered them, “Jesus I know. And I know who Paul is. But who are you?” 16 And the man in whom was the evil spirit leaped upon them, mastered and overpowered them, so they fled out of that house naked and wounded.

     17 This became known to all the people of Ephesus, both Jews and Greeks. And amazement fell upon them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was praised and made all the more known.

     18 And many who were now believers came, confessing secret practices, 19 and magic arts brought their books together and burned them in public. And they counted the value and found it came to about fifty thousand pieces of silver. 20 So the word of the Lord continued to increase and prevail mightily. {The white horse rider! Going forth conquering and to conquer, openly victorious over powers and principalities! First and main element of the age of our Lord, CE. But “the seals”/elements of Revelation are described at the beginning of the vision, as a blend of their first aNd last effects, effectively veiling what they are. See how the 2nd Seal is response to the first, is given a long sword.. and also see Seal 6 (the long sword! rev.6:12-17) and then 7:1,3.. where we still are for now..}

            ☀️ Colossians 4:1-18

1 - (And finally) masters (misters) treat your bondservants (working off a loan of money or land) justly and fairly, knowing you have a master in heaven.

     2 Continue faithfully in prayer, being watchful, with thanksgiving. 3 And pray for us! That God may open a door for us for the word/message, to make known the mystery of Christ, for which I’m in prison, 4 and that I may make THE mystery clear, which clearly, is how I ought to speak!

     5 Walk in wisdom toward outsiders, making the best use of time. 6 Let your speech be always gracious. And seasoned with salt, so you may know how to answer questions you may be asked.

     7 Tychicus will make known to you concerning me. He’s a beloved brother and faithful in the Lord. 8 I’ve sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know how we are and that he may encourage your hearts. 9 And with him is Onesimus, our faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They will tell you of everything that has taken place here.

     10 Aristarchus my fellow prisoner greets you, also Mark (a helper as scribe for Paul, Peter, likely Luke, and compiled a gospel account, but early on quit the first missionary journey of Paul) the cousin of Barnabas, concerning whom you have received instructions. If he comes to you, welcome him. {Paul and Barnabas quarreled when it came time for the 2nd “missionary journey”.. so much so they split in their travels.. but all had made amends later as we can see.} And Jesus who is called Justus. These are the only men of the circumcision {aka, is a kinsman, fellow Hebrew, of the nation God called out and created, one reason, to separate Himself, in our understanding, from the many gods of the nations, those many gods still war against Israel, the Hebrews, slang Jews. Armageddon will be waged by the nations against Israel. Two gatherings in ‘last days’. Mt.13:30 parable “gather first, the tares in bundles”/armies to a bonfire for garden weeds, “then, gather the wheat into my barn”. They “die still in their sins”/hamartia - missing the mark, so will rise that way (initially) into GWT Judgment/discernment/review/closure for all ‘Day’. The rich man and Lazarus parable, and the outside of the vision narrative of Rev.22 portray the inneR, initiaL condition of some.} They’re among my fellow workers for the kingdom of God, and have been a comfort to me.

     12 Epaphras also, one of you, and a servant of Christ Jesus, greets you. He always struggles on your behalf in his prayers, that you may stand mature, steadfast, and fully assured in all the will of God. 13 For I bear him witness that he has worked hard for you and for those in Laodicea and in Hierapolis.

     14 Luke the beloved (Greek/gentile) physician greets you, as does Demas. 15 Give my greetings to the brothers at Laodicea, and to Nympha and the church in her house. 16 And when this letter has been read among you, have it also read in the church of the Laodiceans. And read also the letter from Laodicea. {It does say “from Laodicea” - ek or ex - from, out of, by, away from. I used to assume it was to the Laodiceans.}

     17 And tell Archippus, “Be sure to fulfill the ministry that you have received in the Lord.”

     18 I, Paul, write these last words with my own hand. Remember my chains. The Lord’s grace be with you.

            🌙 John 8:48-59

The leaders (of the Pharisee party) answered, “Are we not right in saying you are a Samaritan and have a demon?” {And so now they were currently locked into the coming fiery (earthly) judgment of 70 CE, elite, divisive, labeling, accusatory, known to stir up sentiment, even mob and mob mentality - why Jesus told them they were being children of the devil “the accuser, slanderer” hater, ever sowing division, the siren call to armageddon’s large and small. “Samaritan” was very much an insult, like the terrible way of thinking, of calling someone a ‘half-breed’, if you’ve watched old western movies.}

     49 Jesus answered, “I don’t have a demon, but I honor my Father. And you dishonor me. 50 Yet I don’t seek my own glory. There is One who seeks it, and he’s the judge. 51 Truly, I tell you, if anyone keeps my message, they will not see death into [eis - to, towards, for, into] the age (aion).”

     52 The leaders said, “Now we know you have a demon! Abraham died, as did the prophets, yet you say, ‘If anyone keeps my word, he will not see death.’ 53 Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? And the prophets died! Who do you make yourself out to be?”

     54 Jesus answered, “If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It’s my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say, ‘He is our God.’ 55 But you have not known him. I know him. If I were to say that I don’t know him, I would be lying like you, but I do know him and I keep his word/message. 56 Your father Abraham rejoiced that he would see my day. He saw it and was glad.”

     57 So the leaders said, “You’re not yet fifty years old, and you have seen Abraham?” 58 Jesus said, “Truly, I tell you, I was [eimi - to be, exist, happen, be present] {was} before Abraham.” [Col 1:15; Rev 1:5 - “firstborn” (of creation) prōtótokos - from -prṓtos, "first, pre-eminent" and tíktō - bring forth - properly, first in time (Mt 1:25; Lk 2:7) hence, pre-eminent.] {The OnLy straight out from God - one.} 59 So they picked up stones to throw at him, but Jesus concealed himself and left the temple.
