Revelation 3 14-22

 BooK of Revelation

                a paraphrased study                       

14 - “And to the angel (messenger) of the church in Laodicea write: ‘The words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning [archรฉ - beginning, origin, ruler, authority, principality] of God's creation.

15 ‘I know your works. You’re neither cold nor hot. I wish that you were either cold or hot. 16 So, because you’re lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will” [mellรณ - intend to, to be destined, am about to] “spit you out of my mouth. 17 For you say, ‘I’m rich, I’ve prospered, and I need nothing’. And you don’t realize you’re wretched, pitiful, poor, blind, and naked! 18 Acquire from me gold refined by fire, so you’ll be rich, and white garments so you may clothe yourself and the shame of your nakedness {imperfection} may not be seen, and salve to anoint your eyes, so you can see. 19 Those whom I love, I discipline and correct” [elรฉgxล – properly, to convince with solid, compelling evidence, especially to prove wrong, correct] “so be zealous and repent. 20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to them and eat with them, and they with me. 21 The one who conquers, I will grant to sit with me on my throne {during 7th and 8th millennial days?} as I also conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne. 22 Whosoever has an ear, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’”

€XpLoR!n9 ReVeLaTion 3 14-22

        WeeKly BooK oF Revelation

                paraphrased study                    

14 -  “And to the angel of the church of Laodicea write: These are the words of the Amen - the faithful and true witness - the beginning [archรฉ - beginning, origin, the initial starting point, what comes first and therefore is chief and foremost, has the priority because ahead of the rest, preeminent, first] of God's creation.

     15 I know your works:, you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either cold or hot! 16 So, because you are lukewarm, and are

neither hot nor cold, I will spew you out of my mouth.17 For you say, I am rich, and prosperous. And I need nothing. Not realizing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked. 18 I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, so you may be rich. And white garments so that you may clothe yourself and the shame of nakedness may not be seen, and eye salve to anoint your eyes, so that you may see. 19 Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline. So be zealous (find your enthusiasm) and repent. 20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. Whoever hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to them and commune with them, and they with me. 21 The one who overcomes/is victorious, I will grant to sit with me on my throne, as I also conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne. 22 Whoever has an ear, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”

๐‘…๐ธ๐’ฑ๐ธ๐ฟ๐’œ๐’ฏ๐ผ๐’ช๐’ฉ/๐’œ๐’ซ๐’ช๐’ž๐’œ๐ฟ๐’ด๐’ซ๐’ฎ๐ธ 3:14-22


     14 “And to the angel of the church in Laodicea (a church not genuine.. just a social club?) write: ‘The words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of God’s creation. 15 I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! 16 So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth. (The blazing sWord out of Jesus’ mouth is Truth.. lukewarm cannot be of the Truth.) 17 You say, ‘I am rich; I have grown wealthy and I need nothing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind, and naked. 18 I counsel you to buy gold from me, refined by fire, that you may prosper, and white garments to put on, lest the shame of your nakedness be revealed, and eye salve to apply that you may see.

     19 I correct and discipline everyone I LOVE. So be diligent and turn from your indifference. 20 Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and we will sup together as friends. 21 To the one who overcomes, I will grant the right to sit with Me on My throne, just as I overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. (I’ve never understood this. How can thrones/seats be shared? So it’s metaphor and allegory for ..? ๐Ÿค” It says “reign with Christ during ‘the’ millennium/thousand years” but I’ve always taken that more as serving.. Which “those who are greatest will serve/are servants”. Jesus “didn’t come be served but to serve”. Now tell me! Isn’t it logical that during his long second advent, he will do the same things (works) he did during his short first one!? We know God chose what role we play - whether as wheat or tare. So why wouldn’t the reconciliation and born again process be the same for all. After all, all were tares/weeds, and all will be wheat. Why would any of the process be skipped? For anyone. This also! Makes Lake of fire to be prophecy/event(s). Considering (seriously) the “when” of Matthew 13:30.. Isn’t it obvious it’s the same as Rev.16:13-16? First mention of a lake of fire (out of three).

     Love this - 20 Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and we will sup together as friends. 21 To the one who overcomes, I will grant the right to sit with Me on My throne, just as I overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. 22 Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches [ekklฤ“sรญa - assembly - from, ek - out fromand to, and kalรฉล - to call — the mystical body of Christ – i.e. the universal total body of believers whom God calls out from the world and into His eternal kingdom]. (Into his foreverness, lol, and kingdom of peace.)

THE REVELATION CAST 

      oF CHARACTERS:


Beguiling $ity Babylon, started at Tower Babel. “Sits on 7 hills” (continents, i.e. is global). Her forehead/psyche, Mystery Babble - all confusion is “responsible for all slain upon Earth” (that would be since Cain slew Abel).


An entity called “False Prophet” who’s “strong delusion” of “seating man [anthropos] as in the temple as god”/highest power. - This caused a “falling away” of what was once called Christendom. This “false prophet” has many modern “miracles” and wonders up his sleeve, including a coming triple 6. And he’s ENABLED some tricky events. And of course ‘he’/it has a false prophecy it is putting forth.


A many headed geopolitical beast (institution that goes beastly). It was, then wasn’t, then was again. (Yesteryear’s fulfillment was the empires of Rome.) This beast rises from the sea of humanity.


A smaller beast from the earth (dust thou art) - a two horned office of man, which carried out the 13:13 fiery - “fire upon earth from the sky” event “in the sight of mankind” - notorious numbers 13:13, and is way more obvious than anybody(?) seems to notice (hello?) And this is the office which produces/becomes the notorious one called antiChrist..


EVENTS LIST:


Is The Day oF the Lord Soon 0r Swift - Greek word, tรกxos is translated in Rev/Apoc as ‘soon’ but means - swiftly, quickly.. Also in chapter one, Jesus said to hear, because the time was near.. Which is very accurate, as the whole vision begins when the ride of the white horse rider begins.. At the gospel’s going forth conquering and to conquer, and was openly victorious over powers and principalities.✝️


The vision is portrayed three times, each a different angle (like curtains swept open).

  • 6:1-2 to 11:19
  • ch.12, vs.17 w/ mt.23:39
  • 13:1 to 19:11

All within the ride of the rider on a white horse - 6:1,2 &/-> 19:11.


These First Six Events/Elements Progress Throughout The Entire Age - Like horsemen continuing their ride.. to a canter.. then a gallop.. stirring up the dust as they go.


1 - The gospel rides forth but brings a sWord not peace.. Openly triumphing over powers and principalities.


2 - Wars, mankind’s always unwanted companion.. (This is later “given a great and long sword”/weapon.)


3 - Scales (as always) unbalance. And as progresses, greatly so.


4 - Pale horse of pestilences including manmade which death and the grave (mass) follows after.


5 - Political, religious executions, the blood of which cries out to God like the blood of Abel did.


6 - The long sword is first unleashed - same 13:13 event. But when described at its intro in chapter six, the entire effects, start to “end”  are portrayed. So as to what it is, it is veiled “for many days”. Very much hidden in plain sight.


The many headed geopolitical beast comes to hold rule over the nations for 3.5 years. It blasphemes God, and persecutes many (more).


Loud, locust like (swarm? hover?) which sting from their head and tail, torment mankind for five months. (Sounds widespread.)


Lion like, which shoot smoke and brimstone (tanks?) gather for war.


Armageddon battle (Mt.13:30) final full blown long and great sword event(s). Earth shakes to and fro, Isaiah 24:20. Christ returns, all believers rise from the graves/tombs, his long second advent begins.


A thousand years later, Satan&Co. released from the abyss - war once again occurs.. Fire from heaven consumes them. The resurrection of the rest of all humanity beginning judgment ‘day’. All this surely not flash in the pan, one and done events! But the last two driving home of the cannot stray lesson.


God declares “behold I make all new” (translators added “things” to the word “all” - Greek “pas”). There is a (fiery) universal ReGenesis. “All new” meaning in Rev.22, there is narrative that is outside-of the vision, and logically,  portrays initial conditions for some on the last great day called judgment and kolasis/correction, as does the parable of the rich man and Lazarus.

      “Behold I make all new. The tabernacle of God is with man [anthrpos] and He will Tabernacle with them..” (21:3,5). “The lion will eat straw like the ox, the bear will graze with the cow, and their young will pasture together” Isaiah 11:7.
