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 (that shuts) is to serving, called reigning during the Lord’s long second advent. In the parable, the door is to the wedding and banquet/reception/supper/feast {sharing}. Which represents 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.21:1-5 when God says - “behold!! I make all new!” The word “things” in the verse, was added).

     This vivification (“putting on of perfection”) however, is not simultaneous with its partner resurrection! But between the second resurrection, and the second vivification, is ‘Judgment Day’, 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 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, or a child trafficker, rising into the judgment’s bright radiance of God’s Presence..

     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”.. (Conscience is God’s whip?) And finally to heart and gut wrenching remorse (during judgment) when seeing the faces he stomped upon, the persons he/she hurt and harmed, even killed.

     But finally, after a while (purgatory flames are psychological) coming to realize ..God, the waiting, loving Presence/Spirit (Holy Ghost all loving) and mercy.. “Christ Crucified”.. the remedy God instituted, it being strong enough to appease every guilty conscience, even the worst of the worst. {Imperfect is an abyss of potential, and entropy, a slow gehenna that “is not put out” - the “worm that “doesn’t quit”.}

     The initial inner darkness 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.” {Rev.12:17 w/ Mt.23:39.} “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”. {Demons and kings. But then much later the return, after a “falling away” due to a “strong delusion” of “man(kind, anthropoi) seated in the temple as god”/as 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. We have his number. Made up of carbon. Carbon has 6 protons, 6 neutrons, and 6 electrons. 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, at the very beginning of the vision, 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 - biblehub dot com.]

(Prophecy repeats, from a ‘smaller’ fulfillment to full scale fulfillment.)

14 This second beast fooled people on earth by working (modern? like ai? and so much more) miracles for the first beast (the huge many headed geopolitical entity, who’s in partnership with $ity babble, an oligarchy, sitting on seven hills/continents). Then the second, smaller beast talked them into making an idol in the form of the beast that did not die after being wounded by a sword. (Was reborn after expiring when its head/originator did not sign on after all?) 15 He was then permitted to give life to this statue. So that it could speak. And then the statue of the beast commanded that anyone refusing to worship it must die. [Another version - And it was allowed to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast might even speak and might cause those who would not worship [proskynéō - to do reverence to, the basic meaning in the opinion of most scholars, is to kiss, from prós -towards, and kyneo - to kiss, properly, to kiss the ground when prostrating before a superior] the image of the beast, to be slain. Or - The second beast was permitted to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refuse to worship it to be killed. (This is an escalation from “cannot buy or sell without”. Reversing order is sometimes used to help veil?) 16 And it makes everyone small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to be given a mark on [epi - on, upon] their right hand or on their forehead. 17 And no one could buy or sell without that mark, which was either the name of the beast or the number representing his name. [Or - so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name.] 18 Here is a call for wisdom: Let the one who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and that number is 666. (“A” man is not necessarily originally in the verse. Triple 6 as the number of man? It’s all man’s doing? All this chaos and its effects portrayed in bible prophecy, that is. Prophecy like salvation repeats like widening ripples of a pond. From micro (Israel) to macro (world, and full pond ripple). Cross reference to the triple 6? Daniel 12:11-12 with Mt.24:1-2, Mk.13:1-2.

      Mt.24:1-2 - “As Jesus was leaving the Temple ground, his disciples pointed out to him the various Temple buildings. But he answered them, “Do you see all this? Truly, I tell you, there will not be one stone upon another, that will not be thrown down.” And Dn.12:11-12 - “From the time the perpetual sacrifice is taken away” (abolished, no more stone atop another at the Western Wall? Current holy place to Israel) and the abomination that desolates is set up, there will be 1,290 days.” (This time upon the human temple meant for God’s Spirit/Presence?)

Okay This Is Weird

I was born on 05/05/55. So people tell me I should play the lottery using fives, especially "55". I never have. But here's a weird thing. I've become convinced that Daniel chapter 12, verse 11, is prophecy that Jerusalem's "Wailing" or "Western Wall" where prayers are offered daily, will be in some way taken away or removed. And is a sign.

I think most Bible prophecy buffs and scholars believe verse eleven refers to a third temple and its sacrifices being terminated. (This of course might make verse eleven an even later date to take note of, than one if the "Wailing Wall" is demolished.)

In Matthew chapter 24, the first two verses, the disciples were praising and saying to Jesus how magnificent the temple and temple complex was.

But Jesus said, "See all these? Not one stone shall remain atop another." I do not believe this has been (fully) fulfilled yet. The "western" section of the "wall" remains standing, after the destruction of the Temple and Jerusalem which occurred in 70 a.d.

Daniel 12, eleven and twelve, read "From the time the daily sacrifice" (or place of daily sacrifices of prayer and praise?) "is removed, and the abomination which makes desolate" (666?) "is set-up, shall be 1,290 days" (three 30 day month years, plus seven months; or, that is, 43 Hebrew thirty day months). "Blessed is the one who waits and comes to 1,335 days" (forty five days later).

I have of course, been praying to know if how I'm reading this is accurate or not accurate. (That the 666 apparatus will be set up 3.5 years, plus one month after Israel's Wailing Wall is removed, taken away or destroyed. And will hum along for 45 days.) I don't want to pass along something which is not true.

The weird thing? To me, anyway? Today I learned that in 1967, the Israeli paratrooper brigade which liberated Jerusalem, finding themselves at the sacred Western Wall, was brigade No. 55.

Note - it's hard for "one" to "wait and come to" 1,335 years, which is how it is most often interpreted. (Just because 3.5 is used elsewhere.)

 Whatever that sign is, of verse 11, I think it's important to take note of.

(I also posted this on my other blog - Bible Prophecy For Today )

But There Is A Counting Backwards

"Look master at this beautiful Temple, buildings and walls.."
  - - - - "I tell you not-one-stone shall remain upon another.."
Daniel 12:11,12 - Young's Literal Translation (YLT)
"...and from the time of the turning aside of the" (place of) "perpetual [sacrifice], and to the giving out of the desolating" (666) "abomination, [are] days a thousand, two hundred, and ninety" (that is, three and one half Hebrew years) "O the blessedness of him who is waiting earnestly, and doth come to" (45 days later) "the days, a thousand, three hundred, thirty and five."
...."God will bless everyone who patiently waits until one thousand three hundred thirty-five days have gone by." - Contemporary English Version (CEV)
. . . . "Blessed, happy, fortunate, spiritually prosperous, and to be envied is he who waits expectantly and earnestly [who endures without wavering beyond the period of tribulation] and comes to the 1,335 days!" - Amplified Bible (AMP)
"..ye shall have tribulation ten days.." - Revelation 2:10 - Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

Once Upon A Time

Once upon a time, in another land far, far away, there lived a man who had become King by promising many wonderful things. As King he proclaimed some very good humanitarian edicts, so the people said "amen" and gave him more and more power until all things of sustenance were run through his fingers.. 666 is an office not a man.

Galloping Seals - What is Commonly Missed!

The Opening of the Seven Seals, in the Book of Revelation, chapter six, begins with the first four seals being called the notorious "Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse". Each of the seven seals are elements of the/a latter age of man, the years of our Lord, A.D.
- When each seal, one through four, are Opened, a horse and rider come galloping. These galloping horses and seals are the progressing elements of the age (the years of our Lord, A.D.)
- Recognizing this is a key to Bible prophecy, and is a major key to understanding the Revelation vision. This fancy footwork of the four horsemen of the apocalypse, is a lock upon the vision, hiding and obscuring much of the vision "for many days".
- The key is knowing that each seal, explained in chapter six is a blend of two things: what that element of the age is when it is Opened, and what it is in its fully progressed (galloped) state at the 'end'. Therefor, things which occur very late upon the planet, are described here, so very early in the Revelation narrative! Most cipherings of these seals are highly misunderstood therefor (not to say each element doesn't escalate as the 'end' progresses). With the first seal and white horse and rider being interpreted as a false Christlike figure known as the 666 man (er, office!) in Christian circles.
- A key to understanding the Seven Seals of God, is knowing they are the galloping, progressing elements of the years of our Lord A.D.
- We also need to know that each seal continues its gallop throughout the rest of the age, peaking at the 'end'.

The 666 One

The thing about the 'little' beast is it's a man (we have his number) but more specifically, it's an office. One which "worked mighty miracles, and while people watched, it even made fire come down from the sky" (Rev/Apoc 13:13 Contemporary English Version) - think Hiroshima, Nagasaki - fire which causes man to rebuild (and make an image to) the (big) beast (13:14) "which was and was not" (17:11) and when he reaches full stature (with) will "give breath" (authority) "to the" (big) "beast" (13:15).
