08/08 ~ From New Testament Letters

   (In the Order Believed Written)

6 - Whoever says they abide in the Lord, ought to walk the same way he walked. 7 Beloved, I’m not writing to you any new commandment/instruction, but an old one that you have had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word that you’ve heard. 8 At the same time, it’s a new commandment, for it’s true in him and in you, because the darkness is passing away. And the true light is already shining. {Until “the falling away” by an of the world (surely?) “false prophet’s strong delusion” which “seats man in the temple as god”/highest power, resulting in “the anthropos of lawlessness”. And division being the siren call to the resulting armageddon battle.} 9 Whoever says they are in the light and despises their brother or sister (and fellow person) is in darkness. 10 But whoever loves their fellow person abides in the light, and in them there’s no cause for stumbling. (Because “love fulfills The Law” Ro.13:8,10.)

Revelation 19 17-21

 WeeKly BooK oF Revelation

      By Necessity Slightly 

             Paraphrased      

17 - Then I (John) saw an angel, radiant, as though standing in the sun. And with a loud voice he called 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) saying, “Come, gather for the great supper of God!” {He 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 of earth” take this unavoidable journey through this all important contrast, all together at once.} 18 “Come to 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. It is the last war between human empires, Isaiah 24:20, Rev.10:4, ten, four, 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 third faithful angels). {Aka against all knowledge of the one true God. Against national Israel and the grafted in, spiritual Israel, which by then includes many of ethnic Israel.} 20 And the {many headed, geopolitical} beast was taken, and with it the {of the world} false prophet who in its presence 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. [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 were thrown alive {active, as they are not individuals} into the lake of fire {armageddon battle, with global chain reaction} that burns with sulfur {Jude 1:7!} {Both that ‘miracle’ and the “strong delusion” that “seats man/anthropos in the temple as God”/highest power, is 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, there’s crashing and fiery apocalypse. It’s what dog eat dog/every self first, does. There are two things that can simply never (ever) work, (1) straying from God who iS Life - logic, yes? To stray from Life, not good. And he “is perfect, so (2) imperfection, logically, is the opposite of Life. And history has - already - proven that (straying and) imperfect is an “abyss” of potential. And logically is 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 you think 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.. We will “put on immortality” at one of TWO vivifications - because - we will “put on perfection/incorruptibility”. Clue, the second vivification is not simultaneous with its partner “resurrection”.}

A Famous Unknown False Prophet

 Jeremiah 32:17 :

     “Lord God! It is you who have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm! Nothing is too hard for you!”

    This is as true now as ever. So why isn’t it obvious to all?

     It’s a “strong delusion” of the modern world’s “false prophet” of “seating man in the temple as god”/highest power. And so the west, once called Christendom, has “fallen away”.

     This influence has many more modern wonders and “miracles to mislead”. And a prophecy of course.

     “Lord God! It is you who have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm! Nothing - is too hard for you!”

    …prophet Jeremiah, 32:17.

REVELATION STUDY 18 9-24

     a paraphrased study

         ~~  18:9-24  ~~

A key to the revelation vision is 13:1 - does a literal beastly creature with seven heads rise out of the sea of humanity? I’m highly doubting it. But! Does it have a literal meaning? Or is it written for entertainment purposes only? Rev.1:3 - Blessed is the reading [anaginóskó - knowing certainly, knowing again, to read] and (blessed is) the hearing [akouó - to hear and listen, root of acoustic surely?] (to) the words [logos - reasoning expressed in words, from lego - speaking to a conclusion] the prophecy [prophéteia] and (the) keeping [téreó - watching over, guarding, observing, keeping intact] what is written [graphó] for the season [kairos - season, opportune time] is near [eggus - near in place or time]. — So, the opportune time is always near, and the images used are not always literal, but their meaning is. 

18:9 - And the KINGS of earth, who committed sexual immorality (were in bed with $ity Babylon) and lived in luxury with her, will weep and mourn when they see the smoke of her burning. 10 They will stand afar off, in fear of ‘her’ torment, saying, “Alas! You great city! Mighty city! Babylon! Woe! In a single hour your judgment has come!” 11 And the MERCHANTS of the earth weep and lament, for no one buys their cargo anymore, 12 the cargo of gold, silver, precious stones, pearls, fine linen, purple cloths, silk and scarlet cloths, all sorts of scented woods, all articles of ivory, of costly wood, bronze, iron and marble, 13 cinnamon, spices, incense, myrrh, frankincense, oil, wine, fine flour, wheat, cattle and sheep, horses and chariots, and the bodies and souls [psuché - breath, souls] (lives? of) man/anthropos/persons. 14 “The delicacies [opóra - late summer, ripe fruit] for which your soul longed has gone from you, and all your luxuries and your splendors are lost to you, not to be found again.” 15 The merchants of these wares, who profited from her, will stand afar off, in fear of her torment, weeping and lamenting aloud, 16 “Woe, woe, for the Great City that was clothed in the finest linen. In purple and scarlet, and gilded with gold. And with precious stones, and pearls! 17 But in a single hour, all this wealth, has been laid waste” (Rev.17:12,16,18). And all pilots, all sailors, all voyaging/traveling, and all who trade, stood afar off 18 and cried out as they saw the smoke of her burning, “Oh what city was like this great city!?” 19 And they threw dust and ashes on their heads as they wept and lamented, “Woe! woe! The great city! In which were made rich through her costliness, all those having ships to sea.” (When the vision was given, big business was done by sea). “For, in one hour, has come the desolation.” (Rev.17:12,16). 20 Be of good cheer over her, O heaven, saints, apostles and prophets, for God has decided judgment for you against [ek or ex - from, from out of, from the interior outward] (of) her.” 21 Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great miller’s stone and threw it into the sea, saying, “So will you Babylon the great city be thrown down! With [horméma - a rush, impulse, violence]. And you will be found no more. 22 The sound of harpists and musicians, of flute players and trumpeters, will not be heard in you any more. Not a craftsman of any sort will be found in you any more, nor the sound of the mill/factory/industry. 23 The light of a lamp will not shine in you any more, and the voice of bridegroom and bride will not be heard in you. For your merchants were the great ones of the earth. And by your sorcery [pharmakeia - the use of medicine, drugs or spells, sorcery, enchantment, magic; from pharmakeuó - to administer drugs, drug related sorcery, magical arts (by which)] all nations were deceived. (Including by a false prophecy, which is implied by there being a “false prophet”.)

                         ~*~

The vision is told 3 times: 6:1-2 to 11:19; chap.12 w/ Mt.23:39; and 13:1 to 19:11.

W𝕖𝕖𝕜𝕝𝕪 B𝕠𝕠𝕜 𝕠𝕗 R𝕖𝕧𝕖𝕝𝕒𝕥𝕚𝕠𝕟 12 13-17

{Notes & Review: This chapter is a stand alone insert. Believers are the bride of the manchild/Son of man. Non Hebrew people once they are united to Jesus become a part of Israel, they are “grafted into the commonwealth” - Review: a great sign - a virgin conceived. The dragon, via Herod the Great, tried to destroy the manchild, but instead He is at the right hand of God. The adversary was angered->70 CE, a first migration (in the age of our Lord, A.D.) of the faith->white horse gone/going forth. Then there’s a battle in heaven and the dragon is cast out, and no longer allowed access to heaven.}

     13 When the dragon saw that he was cast to earth, he persecuted (inquisitioned) the woman (the faith) which had brought forth the man child. 14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly (sail via the wind) into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time (a 3.5 measure of time, 1620+350?) AWAY from the face (cruel inquisitions) of the serpent. (Eagle wings - a good beginning - not perfect - but like most things goes into decline and decomposing/corruption. Most often getting hijacked and infiltrated. I know I repeat myself over and over. But how can I not mention the ever popular, world’s “false prophet” [“the field is the world”] who’s “strong delusion” of “seating man/anthropos as in the temple as God”/highest power, caused a great “falling away”.)

     15 And the serpent (guise of the dragon) poured water like a river out of his mouth after the woman, so that he might cause her to be swept away with the flood (washed off of the earth). 16 But the earth helped her and swallowed the flood that had come from the dragon's mouth. (Widespread drought coming? $ity Babble on 7hills/continents, falls/crashes?) [From the dragon’s mouth - Rev.16:13? The flood becomes part of the gathering to Armageddon battle?-Mt.13:30. Unholy ‘trinity’ (rev.16:13) - the dragon, the beast (many headed geopolitical) and the false prophet who will greatly expound on what came out of the mouth of the dragon? Note: The false prophet enabled Rev.13:13, but is not the “little horn”/beast. The 13:13 event pinpointed an OFFICE, not (yet) an individual.]

     [Cross Reference: Mt.23:39 - “I tell you [Jerusalem] you will not see me (Jesus) again UNTIL you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD!”] 17 And the dragon was angry against the woman, and went to make war with the rest of her children, who keep the commandments of God, and (by now) have the testimony of Jesus Christ. (Rev.7:4, which in most part follows vs.9.) And the dragon stood on the shore of the sea..

Bible Prophecy In Plain English

A duplicate post on each of my blogs.

Presently, I think we are still in the pause of seal 6 (of thermonuclear as warfare – Rev.7:1-2, but the seals are told as to their total effects, including at the ‘end’ which veils the vision I think).

So when that pause is interrupted – though I think at first limitedly – is when things start to escalate.. Today’s world beast/body will ‘step up’ as will the office which carried out 13:13.. same seal 6 first event, which pinpoints an office prominant in last days and who gives breath (authority) to the world beast (that has iron/bronze – roman/greek roots, see Dan.7:7,19 w/ Rev.13:1 & Dan.2:31-45) but will be either infiltrated by or in partnership with the wild beast who does Rev.20:4). This world beast will make or ratify a 7 year agreement/treaty/covenant/league which they will break with Israel in the middle of it by either stopping sacrifices at a 3rd temple or (I believe) by removing or taking away the Western (Wailing) Wall where sacrifices of prayers are offered daily (completing Mt.24:1-2 “see all this?”). And 3.5 years plus 30 days later is when shall be set up the final abomination that desolates(?) This time upon the human temple made for God? Perhaps with behavior modification? And tracking.. Maybe lauded as a step up in ‘evolution’? Or.. who knows? A vaccine you cannot buy or sell without. “But – blessed – are those who wait and come to 45 days later”. With the last “ten days” escalating to will be killed..? (Dan.12:11-12; Rev.2:10)

Another Rev. character is today’s false prophet who has a widely believed false prophecy and many modern miracles and wonders. ‘He’ also has a “strong delusion” which “seats man in the temple of God, convincing himself he is god”/highest power deciding good and evil. A strong (but ridiculous, lol) delusion which has caused cultural “falling away” from the faith. He enabled 13:13 and will give the beast 666.

Rev.12:16 suggests drought, and out of the smoke of it, plus war, shall come widespread marshall law for five months? (Rev.9:3,9) The sun will give less light (through the smoke) and the moon will reflect red. Then will be seen the Son of man coming on the clouds with great glory and He will send His angels to gather His believers from all directions of the Earth. (Mt.24:29-31)

“He comes in fire with His angels” 2Thess.1:7-8, and “gathers His wheat into His barn” just barely after the tares have gathered to armageddon in Gehenna Valley.. with enough chain reaction to make the “Earth shake to and fro?” and “oil to flow high as horse’s bridles..?” (Isaiah 24:20; Mt.13:30; Rev.14; and 16:14,15,16!)

The Mind Of Man

These days the mind of man is thought to be above the mind of God of the Bible. This results in the idea that the Bible should be "added to or taken from".

It all began with man's theory of evolution as to the origins of life. There is "natural selection" but only of what ability for adaptation is present in the DNA code. Man's theory is not only not proven and not observed, but is also outdated - by our looking into the basic cell, by the discovery of the DNA code in all living things, and by a lack of so many zillions of "missing links"/transitional life forms (if all life evolved from one). Yes there is adaptation, but only if the ability is present in the DNA. It is not true that those who believe in "Intelligent Design" of the universe and life, do not believe in "Natural Selection"!

This false teaching (teacher, prophet) of the origins of life, has turned Western Civilization on its ear. It's a strong delusion which changed Christendom and prepared the way for where the world has gone and is going.

Is The Book Of Revelation Merely Metaphor?

The Book of Revelation of the Bible is very accurately true! When I wanted to know more about it, I prayed and it seemed to come back to me "what are the strongest forces at work upon mankind today?" Emphasis on "today".
- There's at least two locks in the Book.. the first (after the announcement, etc) is in chapter six, it's important to realize the seven seals are described here as a blend of what they are when first "opened" and also what they are in their full blown maturity at the 'end'. Thus, things which happen very late upon the planet, are described here so very early in the narrative. These seven seals are the dominant elements at work in the 'latter' age of mankind, the years of our Lord A.D.
- The second lock is to realize that chapters 12,13, and most of 14 are inserts like the creation account of Genesis two is an insert to the one of Genesis one, providing more detail, like a magazine or history book will have inserts to elaborate.
- Chapter 13 is TWO beasts - 1-10 and 11-18, the 1st being a big or world beast/body and the 2nd being a 'man' or closer yet a two horned office, the one which brought/opened new fire (bringing it down upon men) #13:13. This is also the 6th seal of chapter 6. It seems obvious the 'little' beast will step into the head seat of the world beast/governing. Many think these two beasts are the same, and that they are also the false prophet/teacher/teaching. But the false prophet began as a man, but also developed the capability of rev 13:13, which the two horned office was the 1st to "open" - note at the end of this seal, seal 6, there is a pause.. until it manifests again.. "angels holding back the wind".. The false prophet prepared the way and has and is thoroughly changing western civilization.
- The other main character is $ity BabbleOn (of today not yesteryear) of chapters 17 and 18. She has seduced and enchanted all the world (seven continents/hills). The Greek word for her, translated "harlot" is "pornos" and "to sell". Capitalism embraced "pornos" and therefor in one hour it will crash. "Fallen fallen" is Babylon the Great who holds a golden cup of her side effects, the murders, perversion, abortions, slave trade, dissolution of the family, etc.. The merchants made wealthy by her wares will weep when they see her burning "in one day". The ten kings in bed with her/10horns/10toes of the final hour will devour and burn her, yes, socialism will finally devour capitalism, and they/he will institute the 666 apparatus, also technology provided by the false prophet, that white smocked wizard.
- Babble On's forehead/psyche is Mystery Babble, every untruth and lie, and Mystery Babble is responsible for all blood spilled upon Earth, past, present, future "since Cain killed Abel".

Bk of Rev-At The Last Hour

At the last hour, the (great) beast (book of revelation, chapter 13, verses 1-10), the beast (verses 11-18, we know this is a man/person, because we have his number) and the false prophet, will become one. (An anti-trinity!) But they don't start out that way.
- The first one, Rev 13:1-10, in late days becomes an all encompassing (world) beast. Rev 13;11-18 is actually a political office, one which brought fire upon earth in the sight of mankind, encouraging a healing of the world beast/power (verses 13 and 14). And the false prophet/idea/teaching began as a man, or actually in the name of a man, and changed western civilization preparing the way for people to trust in man as the highest power.
