WeeKly BooK oF Revelation ⭐️
paraphrased study
[2Thessalonians 1:8,7 - “…when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels 8 in a fire of flame, inflicting [didómi - to give - in various senses lit. or fig. includes allowing, yielding, granting, pouring, permitting] vengeance [ekdikésis - vengeance, vindication, defense, avenging, pay back, “full” and “complete” punishment] on those who do not know God and who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. (The culmination of history. Conclusion and end of the story, Mt.13:30 - “Let both” - the wheat and the tares, psuedo wheat, which we all were - “grow together until the harvest, and at the harvest I will tell the reapers, ‘Gather the weeds first, and bind them in - bundles - to be burned, and then gather the wheat into my barn.” And Revelation 16:14,16 - “..demons performing signs ..to the kings of earth gathering them for battle.. and assembled them at Armageddon” (Gehenna Valley).
Rev.11:15 - And the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdom of the world is become the kingdom of our LORD and of his Christ, and he shall reign forever and ever.” 16 And the twenty-four elders who sit on thrones before God fell on their faces and worshiped God, 17 saying, “We give thanks to you! Lord God Almighty! Who is and who was, for you have taken your great power and have begun to reign. 18 The nations raged” (Ps.2 and 2nd horseman of the apocalypse and 2nd seal/element of the age) “but your wrath came. [Wrath - orgé - wrath, vengeance, from orgáō, "to teem, swelling up to oppose, a fixed, controlled, passionate feeling against, a settled indignation.] (Imo, his wrath is cause and effect, “his” wrath because it is HE who created a cause and effect universe. Consequences, life as we presently know it, this all important contrast and gehenna crucible, that flares up into judgments, results, versus creation as an ant farm.) And the time [kairos - time, season] came for the dead to be judged, and for rewarding your servants, the prophets and saints, and those who fear your name, both small and great, and to destroy [diaphtheiró - from dia - intensive, through and through, and diaphthorá - thorough decay] those destroying earth.” (Imo, spiritually destroying.) 19 Then God's temple in heaven was opened (I always think split, the word anoigó, does include broken, open). And the ark of his covenant was seen within his temple. There were flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, an earthquake, and great hail.
(Isaiah 24:20) - the higher and faster moisture rises, the larger and greater the hail. And surely(?) it is thermonuclear lightning.. rumbling and thunder.. “seven thunders”? Counting the first occurrence which was Rev. 13:13 in the third telling of the vision - but the occurrence pinpointed an office, not yet an individual. Which was also the first seal six occurrence, but it’s veiled by the seals being described at the beginning of the vision, as their full and entire effects, first to very last. This also veils much of the entire vision. Kudos to any understanding any of us has had! — Next week we begin the second telling of the vision, which is Revelation chapter 12. All three end, and rejoin, at the 7th trumpet’s sounding.. “The kingdom of the world is become the kingdom of our LORD and of his Christ.”
