BOOK OF REVELATION

  17 - Then I (John) saw an angel. He was radiant, as though standing in the sun. And with a loud voice he called out to the birds of midheaven.

     {To the high flying, predator birds, calling them to armageddon battle; the calling to the birds is metaphor for the literal armageddon battle about to be portrayed.}

     He called out, “Come! Gather for the great supper of God!”

     {God actually takes responsibility! Having “subjected and consigned all to disobedience” Romans 11:32. Supersized the option to stray in Eden so “all of heaven and all of earth” take this unavoidable journey through this all important contrast, all together at once.}

     18 “Come! And eat the flesh of kings, of captains, of mighty men, of horses and their riders, and of all, both free and slave, both small and great.”

     {The final war is totally mankind done. Man, we have his number, is carbon based which has 6 electrons, 6 neutrons and 6 protons. Armageddon is the last war between human empires, Isaiah 24:20/Rev.10:4, end of the Act, over and out. “All the world is a stage” - Shakespeare.}

     19 And then I saw the beast and the kings of earth, with their armies, gathered to make war against he who was sitting on the (white) horse and against his army of heaven {the two thirds faithful angels}. 20 And the {many headed, geopolitical} beast was taken, and with it, its false prophet who had done the signs [sémeion - miracles, signs, marks, tokens] {modern wonders and “miracles to mislead”} by which he deceived those who had received the “mark” of the beast and who worshiped/were in allegiance to, its image. [“The mark” is from the word - charagma- which is a “mark, stamp, sign, engraving, from charassō - meaning to engrave or stamp, the term charagma means a mark or stamp often used to denote ownership or authenticity.]

     These two {they are noT individuals, the huge (many headed, many horned/seats/powers) beast and its “false prophet” at Armageddon battle} were thrown alive {active} into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur. {The fire of armageddon battle, with global chain reaction, Is.24:20/Rev.10:4.} [Jude 1:7, “Gomorrah and cities are an example of (such) aionion fire”, translated as ‘eternal fire’. Aionion is the adjective of aion, which in english is eon. So aionion fire ..temporary, sudden? ..fire of the age? Isaiah 24:20/Rev.20:4?

     The 3 mentions of a fiery lake/lake of fire, are at three separate, huge, fiery events: 1-Armageddon battle/5-thunders; 2-at the fiery, final defeat of the adversary; and 3-at the fiery “palin(again)genesis” at which time, God says “Behold! I make all new!” (translators due to disbelief? changed all, to all things.. elsewhere as well. And then “the lion will eat straw.. bear will graze with cow” Isaiah 11:7.]

     {Both this fiery ‘wonder’ the “7 thunders” (like 13:13 but which pinpointed an office) and the “strong delusion” that “seated man/anthropoi in the temple as god”/highest power, causing the west, once called Christendom, to “fall away” - are from the “false prophet” Rev.12:15?}

     21 And the rest were slain by the sWord {truth, the iron rod/unbreakable measure} that came from the mouth of He who was sitting on the horse, and all the birds were gorged. {Symbolic imagery, aka, build a house on Truth, it endures. Build using unTruth (or guile) and like being built on sand, when the storm comes, there’s crashing and fiery apocalypse. It’s what dog eat dog/every self first, does. There is one thing that can simply never (ever) work, straying from God who iS Life! ..And he “is perfect” so imperfection, logically, is the opposite of Life.

     History has - already - proven that (straying and) imperfect is an “abyss” of potential. And logically, it’s also entropy, the “worm that doesn’t quit” and the “fire”/slow burn/slow-fade/slow-gehenna “that cannot be put out”. Entropy does not reverse.

     But we have thought we humans are inherently immortal? Death is nothing more than another form of life and living? Well that idea/myth was needed for the - extremely ancient - crowd controlling spiritual propaganda myth of afterlife torment.. Any visits (Elijah and Moses on the mountain with Jesus?) are from a dimension called the future.. “No one has ascended” …We will “put on immortality” because - we will “put on perfection/incorruptibility”/total-catharsis.. “God is savior of all, especially those who believe/are believing” and Jesus “will draw all” so aka, “all”. 1Tim.4:10, Jn.12:32.}

11-03 - JOHN 12 20-36

 ☀️ 20 - Among those who were in Jerusalem for the Passover/Unleavened Bread* feast were some from Greece. 21 They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and they asked him, “Sir, we would like to see Jesus.” 22 So Philip told Andrew, and then Andrew and Philip went to Jesus and told him.

     23 And Jesus said to them, “The hour has now come for the Son of Man to be glorified. 24 Very truly, I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls to the earth and dies, it remains only one. But if it dies, it bears much fruit.” {And becomes many.! “We shall be like him, and of course we have far to go.. It’s a work God does. We must submit, submit, submit.. keep saying I do, I do, I do. And keep “seeking, asking, knocking” for Him and to understand Truth, all Truth and nothing but.}

     25 “Whoever loves his life will lose it, and whoever loves less their life in this world will keep it as enduring life. 26 If anyone serves me, he must follow me, and where I am, there they will be also. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor them. 27 But now my soul is troubled. And what shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour’? But it’s for this hour I’ve come. 28 Father, glorify your name.”

     Then a voice came from heaven, “I have glorified it. And I will glorify it again.” 29 The crowd that was around him heard it, and said “It thundered!” But others said, “An angel spoke to him.”

     30 Jesus said, “This voice has come for your sake, not mine. 31 By this is the judgment of this world. And by this will the ruler of this world be cast out. 32 And I - if I am lifted up from the earth [executed on a cross/tree] - will draw all to myself.”

     33 He said this to show by what kind of death he was going to die. 34 So the crowd answered him, “We’ve heard from the Law that Messiah remains forever. Why do you say the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?”

     35 So Jesus said, “The light is among you for a little while longer. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtakes you. The one who walks in darkness doesn’t know where they are going. 36 While you have the light, believe in the light, so you may become sons and daughters of Light.” When Jesus had said these things, he left the temple and city.

* Passover and 1st day of Unleavened Bread were referred to interchangeably. And the entire Spring holy week, as well, was referred to as both Passover and Unleavened Bread. This is only one of the ways it is veiled as to how exactly, and perfectly, the Lord’s first advent fulfilled those Spring holy days. There are also 3 Sabbaths of the week, so 3 preparation days as well. Logically, might this imply something about the Fall holy days — the ancient holy days as listed in Leviticus chapter 23? When aLL is said and done (one & done) “God will Tabernacle with mankind” after and in the “palin/again-genesis” of Rev.21:1-5. In verse 5 the word is pas, one word which means - all, every, the whole. The word things is inserted here, and elsewhere. Including three out of five times in 1Cor.15:27-28, repeating what? Three times in vs.27? God’s message is so unbelievably good that it’s hard to believe? Including translators brought up in the worldwide, ancient belief of afterlife torments. The adversary’s second fondest fantasy? World domination, of course, as first fantasy. (Which culminates, and which logically can only ever culminate in Isaiah 24:20/Rev.10:4, since the “splitting” of creation’s building block is possible.

MARK 15:1-15

  🍃🕊️11/25 - GospeL Verses 🍃🕊️

1 - As soon as it was morning, the leaders held a council, the chief priests with the elders and scribes and the whole council. And decided to take Jesus bound to the Roman governor Pilate.

     2 Pilate questioned him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” And Jesus answered, “You have said so, not me.” [Under Rome, declaring himself king would mean execution.] 3 The leading priests were accusing him of many things, 4 and Pilate said, “Have you no answer?” 5 But Jesus remained silent, and Pilate was amazed.

     6 Now at the feast each year [of Passover week] Pilate would release a prisoner being held, whomever they asked for. 7 And among the rebels in prison was one, Barabbas who had committed murder in an insurrection. 8 And a crowd which had gathered began to ask Pilate for the year’s Passover release. 9 And he answered them, “Do you want me to release the King of the Jews?” 10 For he knew it was out of envy that the leading priests had apprehended him. 11 But the leaders had been working the crowd, and successfully stirred them up to ask for Barabbas.

     12 “Then what shall I do with the man you call the King of the Jews?” Pilate asked. 13 And they cried out, “Crucify him!”

     14 “But why? What has he done?” But they shouted all the more, “Crucify him!” 15 So Pilate, wanting to satisfy the crowd, released to them Barabbas, and having Jesus flogged, he delivered him over to be executed.

     {Sentenced at morning sacrifice on Passover, one of three “preparation days” of the week, which of course are preparation days for the three Sabbaths of Spring holy week. For a few reasons, it is not at first easy to see how exact it was that Jesus’ first so brief advent fulfilled the Spring holy days. But after understanding that, might we wonder about the parallel between the stretched out Fall holy days and His long second advent? Leviticus chapter 23. The days being Trumpets, 10days later — ‘Day’ of Atonement, 5days later — Tabernacles.

     “Behold! I make all new! …God will now tabernacle with man.. And the lion will eat straw like the ox, the bear will graze with the cow.. For there will be no more death. And no mourning, or sorrow.” A (fieRy) “palin/again- genesis” having occurred, Rev.21:1-5, Is.11:7, translated “the regeneration”.

     Note - “the” millennium is a Sabbath millennium, so logically, the next millennium is an “8th day” the “last great day” (Lev.23:36, Jn.7:37) when 1. The adversary, original gone rogue one, is released and he gathers, once again, a multitude - they are descended from mortal survivors of the apocalypse. Gathers them to another fieRy armageddon, Rev.20:7-10. And, after that concludes, 2. the GWT judgment ‘day’. Which in Matthew 25:46, Jesus calls agelasting correction [“kolasin aionion” oR “korrection eonian”] the completing of drawing all, Jn.12:32! [JN.5:28-29.] And surely(?) it’s a same process of refinement/correction for all. The crucible being life as we presently know it - this unavoidable, all important contrast - which continues until vivification either at 1Cor.15:52,53 oR later, at Rev.21:5, 1Cor.15:24-28.}
