Who Demands A Sacrifice?

Even today, after forty years of seeking and following after the Lord, there are times when yielding to him, that an image of him slapping me silly comes to mind. Why? Because I know how imperfect I am. That could be the best thing for my condition! Lol. So I figure, after forty years of reading and studying, etc., that “Christ Crucified” is the appeasement for my own psyche and conscience! The atonement to my own heart. For ultimately we humans are of a very self judgmental heart. Oh the wisdom of God! We are fearfully (awesomely) and wondrously (being) made!

Day Of Atonement

     It will be easier for some during the aionion/eonian correction (kolasis) than it was for some during correction-kolasis that is during “what’s called today”.

    Why? Logic. (Root word of which is Logos.) Jesus said, “ALL those in the tombs will hear His voice and will come forth” (from the graves/tombs) “some in the resurrection of life, and some in the resurrection of judgment” (Jn.5:28-29) which judgment, is “after the thousand years” (Rev.20:5).

     In his explanation of the parable of the sheep and goats, about the goats he said, “these will rise into aionion-kolasis/*agelasting-correction* but the righteous into aionion life” (Mt.25:46). (The believers, both alive, and not alive at His coming, will rise into the millennium.)

     Imagine you never heard about Jesus during your lifetime. Then you rise from your grave/tomb. If it is into the brightness of God’s Presence (Spirit) perhaps initially you may feel fear or be very conscious of your flaws, not yet having them washed away by the reconciliation with God through Jesus. But! Wouldn’t you be happy to find yourself alive?! Loved ones and friends alive.. Then there’s the news and offer of reconciliation! You don’t have to work yourself through the many untruths taught. Nor through the blasphemies upon His character and ability.. And upon Who He Is. The bright Presence, granted, for the hitlers of the world, large and small, may indeed tremble in fear and feel a burning dread. But for others the glow from His being, shall be warm and full of not only peace, but joy. Because thAt’s Who He Is.

     Because of the pattern of the Fall Holy Days - Lev.23:24-44 - I believe “the Judgment” (aionion/eonian correction) shall last five hundred years. And logic suggests to me it will include a Great Review of History - even though it’s the same story over and over, both collectively and individually. Yes, being endowed with the ability to think and reason, one cAn stray away from God - who is Life. And who “is perfect” (Mt.5:48) making imperfect to be not only the opposite of Life, and thus death/nonlife, but a veritable abyss of potential. That abyss is within every wayward heart. But what value is there in including a visible option to stray in Eden, “in the middle of the garden” no less, if it’s not let to run its course?

     Straying from God/Life/Perfection can only ever result in ruin (apocalypse) and ultimately death (which is lack of life, Eccles.10:5,9).

     Hence the remedy and the resurrection (of two occurrences) were built in from the beginning/foundation. Christ Crucified is a strong enough image to ultimately pierce through every guilty conscience and hard, stony, even hating, heart. Oh yes the hitlers may initially experience weeping, gnashing of teeth and deep outer darkness (the setting of the parable of the rich man and Lazarus and of the outside of the vision narrative of Revelation, chapter twenty-two). And don’t you think that’s how it should be?

     But what a traumatic ‘day’! All people rising from all the generations.. So many things to work out and examine. Even those who were preached to by the Lord through Noah while the ark was being prepared - who’s “every thought was only evil” - after perishing in the flood, the next thing they will know, they will be alive again! (1 Pet.3:19-20; 2Pet.2:5)

     After “the Judgment” is a - fiery - ReGenesis, when God “makes all new”. (The word “things” is added to the verse, Rev.21:5, but the word “pas” - “every, all, the whole” is only one word, not two.)

     Again! Much like the “fiery” return/arrival of Jesus when the tares are gathered to a fire - Mt.13:30; Rev.16:14,16; 2Thess.1:7,8 - and then through the fire the wheat rises to meet Him at His coming/appearing. All dross and chaff consumed.. They “will be jewels in the day that He makes up His jewels”. (Malachi 3:17)

     “The kingdom of heaven is like leaven that a woman took and mixed into three measures of flour, until ALL was leavened.” (Mt.13:33, key word 3)

     The three - 1Cor.15:21-28 - “For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. 22 For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. 23 BUT each in turn: (1)Christ, the firstfruits (barley harvest); then, (2)when he comes, those who belong to him (wheat harvest). 24 Then the end will come - when - he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power. 25 For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. 26 The last enemy to be destroyed is death. 27 For he “has put everything under his feet” …so that (3)God may be all in all” (grape harvest, fiery ReGenesis, and the rest of the all, made new).

     And “God will now - tabernacle - with man.” (Rev.21:5) - “The Kingdom” completed.

     “The bear will graze with the cow, their young will lie down together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox ..everyone will sit under their own vine and under their own fruit tree

and no one will make them afraid, for the Lord Almighty has spoken/promised.” (Isaiah 11:7; Micah 4:4)

      

     

What Is The Kingdom Jesus Preached?

     This present world of imperfection is teaching us just how impossible - what a disaster - imperfection is. God (surely?) is both life, itself, and he “is perfect”. So imperfection is the opposite of life. And! It’s an abyss of possibilities and potentials. Just look around us and at history.

     But just how are you going to create fully able to think and reason beings, aNd, keep paradise/perfection intact?

     I think it’s not what God created but what He’s creating. And in order to have open eyes and understang of Life from nonlife, etc, we are all experiencing a world and reality of imperfection first hand. I think it’s unavoidable and that God Himself takes responsibility! And! I think those reconciled during “the Judgment” will go through the very same process we are now.. and “we shall” all “be like Christ” - “the lion will eat straw like the ox, the bear will graze with the cow.. every one under their own vine and fig/fruit tree(s) and no one will make them afraid.” (Is.11:7; Mic.4:4)

     The ReGenesis that follows the Judgment (age) is the fiery, purifying “putting on immortality” of the rest of God’s children not reconciled during this brief lifetime. I think this end result is the Kingdom Jesus preached.

Finished But Not Completed

     Heb.2:9 says, “..so that by God's grace He would experience death on behalf of everyone” - the word here for everyone is “pas - all, every, the whole”.

     The work is finished, He has died for all, but the work is not completed until death no longer exists.

     1Cor:15:24-26 says, “Then the end” (and a ReGenesis, Rev.21:1-5) “will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power. For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy to be destroyed is death.”

     Followers of Christ are still given the mandate concerning the “message of reconciliation” but by the Spirit.. as there is not the reason to panic.

     For the Lord told us He will “draw all” (Jn.12:32). And told us how He will do it - “These (not yet saved/still wild weeds/goats) will rise into aionion-kolasis *AGE*LASTING-CORRECTION” which is “after the thousand years” Rev.20:5 (translated, everlasting punishment, the most extreme possible usage of both words) “but the righteous into aionion life” (into “the thousand years”/millennium age)- Mt.25:46.

     Some being “corrected” now, and some during “the judgment”.

     But if part of our message is ‘you needn’t be born again’ we set them up for failure, they will remain still wild weeds rather than being part of the wheat harvest (and our works are in danger of being straw and stubble and being burned up at the consummation when Jesus arrives).

Hell as Misunderstood Earthly Prophecy

“If my people who are called by my name, will humble themselves and seek my face, I will heal their land” 2 Chronicles 7:14. Humble.

     Truth is, we’re all wild weeds in God’s garden gone wild. It’s after the born again experience that we become wheat. Now here’s a very good question. “When?” When is the wheat gathered into His barn? ..And the still wild weeds gathered to a fire (Rev.16:14-16! Jude verse 7) Matthew 13:30.

A Very Brief Summary of Revelation

What You Need To Know

When the Lamb (Jesus) breaks open the first seal upon the scroll of the Revelation vision, a rider on a white horse rides forth “conquering and to conquer”. This is the gospel riding forth, “openly triumphing over powers and principalities”. Indeed the whole vision is the ride of this horseman - called “of the apocalypse”. [Christ brought “a sWord, not peace” - not yet.]

The second horseman (after the second seal is broken) rides a red horse and takes peace from the Earth. And (eventually) was given a long or great sword. What Earth element takes peace away using swords/weaponry? And ended up being given a great or long sword/weapon?

Riders (seals) 3 and 4 are his companions, the dark rider of inequality and shortage and the pale rider which the grave follows — Note: Each of these “seals” are described via their full effects, their full ride/progression, from their first to last effects.

At the breaking open of the fifth seal, we see that the blood of martyrs cries out to God for justice, but it is told it must “wait” until the full number of martyrs has come in.

The breaking open of the sixth seal is a huge event - told as its FULL effects from its first event to last - at full maturity and progression. This seal IS the long or great sword given.

BUT! It is firmly held at bay after its first event - verses 7:1,3. This first event of it, is also Rev.13:13. Which verse does NOT point to an individual, but an office. A two horned (seats) office.  It was given the capability by the most prevalent “false prophet” of modern days who has (modern) miracles and wonders and a very “strong delusion” that has hugely affected the world to date, and will continue to do so.

When the holding back (7:1,3) of the explosive 6th seal is interrupted, the “office” pinpointed by 13:13 will ‘step up’ ..along with the other cast member of chapter 13, a large, many headed, geopolitical entity - a human governing which turns, once again - beastly. (It is Rev.13:1-10, a last great idol to replace God Most High.)

The book says, in the last ‘hour’ the large, many headed, geopolitical entity will have ten horns (seats/divisions. Compare prophet Daniel, chapter two’s “ten toes” which the Kingdom - in that hour - reduces to rubble. And then the kingdom will fill the Earth - Dn.2:32-45.)

The two-horned office will tell the world to make an image to the huge beast. [An idol indeed! Truth really iS stranger than fiction!] And the image will be able to speak and will cause any who will not comply with its allegiance to not be able to buy or sell. Which at some point escalates to execution. (Rev.3:10?) [Bible prophecy students see the math of Dn.12:11-12 (and Mk.13:1-2 w/ vs Dn.12:11?? And think current “holy place” in Israel?)].

The Book of Revelation vision is told three times:

    (1) 6:1 to 11:19

    (2) ch.12

    (3) 13:1 to 19:11

   Verses 6:1 and 19:11 are the rider on the white horse. Like an alpha to omega.. From a beginning to an end.

Revelation In No Box Or Boxes

Timeline and Outline of the Book of Revelation - meant to be used while reading Revelation - the book is not in strict order:

⁃ [ch.6] 1st horseman went forth - THE GOSPEL (from its beginning) - conquering and openly victorious over powers & principalities; a sWord, not peace.

⁃ Followed shortly by war, which is rider (and Seal) 2, which (eventually) is given a long/great sword/weapon (“wars are decreed to the end” Dan.9:26) and by the companions of war - rider 3 - inequity, shortage and - rider 4 - plague, which during its ride/progression includes (logically) manufactured plague, chemical and biological - the grave follows this rider (including the mass grave) and its FULL effects and progression are summarized.

⁃ And martyrdom - Seal 5 - continues, the blood crying out to God like that of Abel’s had.

⁃ In 1945, the “long sword” given to war/rider 2 (Rev.6:4) is unleashed - as Seal 6 on the scroll - it is described as its FULL effects from first to last, when it is first broken open, veiling what it is.

⁃ [ch.7] Then four angels are holding those Seal 6 winds in check until the foreheads of the servants of God are sealed, 144,000 of Israel (and another group at the time having been sealed “too many to count or number, of every tribe, nation & ethnicity”)

- [ch.8] When the 7th seal is broken open, 7 angels with trumpets prepare to sound and there is silence in heaven for what seemed to John like a half an hour, then another angel takes fire from the altar, mixes it with the prayers of God’s people and throws it on the Earth. There are thunders, lightnings, and earthquake (thermonuclear lightning?)

⁃ The seven angels sound their trumpets - the 1st trumpet sounds, there is hail, fire, blood - and 1/3 of trees and grass are burnt (hail forms by moisture rising so fast it freezes, the higher it rises, the bigger the hail) - at the 2nd sounding, something like a fiery mountain into the sea and waters turn red, 1/3 creatures in the sea and 1/3 trade by sea dies - 3rd, a star blazing like a torch, called wormwood, falls on the rivers and streams making the waters bitter - 4th, the sun and moon’s light decrease by a third, and for a third of the time - [ch.9] 5th trumpet sounds (key “out of the smoke”) a star (Rev.1:20 “the stars are angels”) fallen from heaven opens an abyss and out of the smoke comes what looked to John like loud locusts which can sting from their head and tail by which they torment mankind for five months, but they are commanded not to harm any trees, or grass, etc. - 6th, troops on horses resembling (to John) lions cross the dried Euphrates and 1/3 of people are killed with fire, smoke and brimstone from their mouth, but man does not repent of their thefts, murders, idols or sorcery (pharmakos) and the two witnesses of God are killed and ppl celebrate but after 3 days they rise and there is a great earthquake “the nations were angry” it’s time to judge and reward - 7th and last trumpet is sounded, there are lightnings, noises, an earthquake, and great hail.

 MEANWHILE [ch.13-16] - Rev.13:13 was the first Seal 6 event of 1945, which event pinpoints an office, not an individual.

[Rev.12 is an insert & stand alone history - vs 17 needs Mt.23:39.]

Rev.13:1-10 w/ Dan.7:7,19 - the day’s many headed geopolitical beast with ten horns - man’s last great idol to replace God Most High - ‘steps up’ [when the 7:1 holding back of the winds of Seal 6 is interrupted] along with the smaller beast of 13:13, who is given power by the wonders (modern miracles?) he is granted by, logically, the “false prophet” - of the day - and he, 2nd beast of Rev.13, causes mankind to build an image to the larger beast which was, then wasn’t, then was again, and he’s granted power (capability?) to give breath to the image that it should speak and cause all to worship it or be killed (which escalates from?) cannot buy or sell without its identifying(?) mark on forehead or right hand.

[ch.14] The Lamb and 144,000 having the Father’s name on their forehead stand atop Mt.Zion - an angel in midheaven cries out “fear God and give glory to Him for the hour of judgment has come..” - another angel follows saying “Babylon is fallen! is fallen, that great $ity that made all nations drink the wine (intoxication) of her immoralities” - and another angel “if anyone worships the beast & its image and receives its mark he himself will drink the wine of His wrath/the results and consequences.. fire and brimstone” for tares (Mt.13:30 - when?!) “And the smoke of it shall rise forever” (in all memories? Gen.2:17) - after these proclamations - two harvests, the fruits are ripe! The wheat; and the tares/grapes of wrath gathered to the winepress outside the city.

[ch.15,16] Seven angels have the seven last plagues in bowls/pitchers to be poured out (which are in the sounding of the 7th trumpet) - 1st bowl, the mark of the beast causes painful boils - 2nd, is poured on the sea and every creature of it dies - 3rd, on the rivers and streams and they become blood (shed) - 4th, the sun(?) scorches men and they curse God - 5th, the throne/kingdom of the beast is in darkness - 6th, River Euphrates is dried and troops from the East cross.. and John saw three spirits like frogs which come from the dragon, the beast, and the false prophet (who enabled 13:13 and seats man, via its strong delusion, as in the temple of God, as god/highest power) - these draw the kings/politicians to the last great battle at Amageddon Valley - 3 in 1 spirits? - atheism-> socialism -> totalitarianism - behold He comes as a thief - 7th bowl poured upon air, noises, thunderings, great hail, and an earthquake greater than any other, the cities of the nations fall.

[ch.17,18] Meanwhile Babylon the Great which made the merchants wealthy - her beguilements having sold their long list of luxuries and products, including the bodies and lives of humans - the kings/politicians of earth were in bed with her, and her forehead is Mystery Babble (all confusion) which is “responsible for all slain on Earth” - ‘she’ who ruled over the kings of earth is fallen - THE TEN horns/toes(Dan.2:32-45)/kings (“last hour” divisions?) having consumed/depleted her and razed her with fire because that was God’s will concerning her. She rode the huge beast, but when it rides her?

[ch.19] It is finished, the ride of the rider on the white horse - the huge beast and the false prophet perish in the Armageddon lake of fire.

[ch.22,21] The dragon is locked into the abyss, during “the thousand years” the first part of the Lord’s long second advent. After which there is a final battle with the dragon who then perishes in a great fire (fiery lake?) - after which “the rest of the dead” rise upon Judgment ‘Day’ - at the close of which is a fiery Regenesis, 2Pet.3:12-13, when the “elements melt in furious heat” and “God will now tabernacle/tent/dwell with mankind” upon Earth made anew.

[Ch.22] has in it narrative from outside of the vision.
