REVELATION - 22 3-21

Apocalypse logic & riddles, weekly study, verses paraphrased [ ] references { } thots

BOOK OF REVELATION

3 - And there shall be no more curse nor cursed (accursed) for all [pas - all] curse [katanáthema  - from katá - according to, down, which intensifies anáthema - a curse – properly, an oath-curse which "devotes something to destruction" literally, to take it down] shall no longer be.

     And the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it (the New Jerusalem) and his servants will serve him. [Latreia - from latris - render technical, acceptable service because qualified.] 4 They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. (No more ‘mystery babble’/all confusion on the forehead of the world.) 5 And by-night will be no more. They will not need the light of a lamp nor of the sun, for the Lord God will be the light of them, and (so) they will reign [basileuó - exercise dominion] (over creation and well being, not over others, lol) age to age.

     6 “These words are faithful and true” the angel said, “and the Lord God of the spirits [pneuma: wind, breath, spirit] of the prophets, has sent his angel to show his servants what must come to pass in quickness [tachu - quickly, speedily]”.

     7 “And behold, I come quickly [tachu]. Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.”

     8 I, John, am the one who heard and saw all these things. And when I heard and saw them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed them to me, 9 but he said, “You mustn’t do that! I’m a fellow servant with you and the prophets, and with those who keep the words of this book. Worship God.”

     10 Then he told me, “Don’t seal up the words of this book of prophecy, for the time is near at hand. {Entropy is ever progressing.} 11 The ones being unrighteous, let them be unrighteous still. (Until then! And INITIALLY during GWT judgment/discernment/review/closure for all ‘Day’.) And the ones who are vile, let them be vile still. (Until then! And INITIALLY during GWT ‘day’.) And those being righteous, let them practice righteousness still, and those who are holy let them be so still. [Holy - hagios - the fundamental (core, basic) meaning of hagios is "different" – thus a temple in the 1st century was hagios - holy, sacred because different from other buildings; different from the world because like the Lord - biblehub dot com.] 12 “Behold, I’m coming quickly, bringing with me what’s due [misthos - pay for service, literally or figuratively, good or bad] to repay each for what they have done. 13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end. 14 Blessed are those who wash their robes, so they may have right to the tree of life and may enter the city by its gates. 15 Outside (now, and initially during GWT ‘day’) are the dogs and sorcerers [pharmakos - poisoner, sorcerer, magician] and the sexually immoral [pornos] and murderers and idolaters [eidólolatrés - an image worshiper] and everyone loving and making/doing a lie. 16 I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify to you these things to the churches. I am the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star.”

     17 The Spirit and the Bride say, “Come.” And the one hearing let them say come. And the one thirsting let them come, and the one desiring, let them take the water of life freely. 18 And I testify to everyone hearing the words of the prophecy of this book, if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described. 19 And if anyone should take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in what is described in this (Rev.) book, the share out of the New Jerusalem and out of the tree of life (the healing of the nations). 20 And He who is testifying of these things says, “Surely I am coming quickly.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus! 21 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all. Amen. 

                The End.

📜🗞️ The revelation vision is told 3 times: 6:1-2 to 11:19; chap.12 w/ Mt.23:39; and 13:1 to 19:11, the three rejoining at the 7th trumpet’s sounding.

Jesus’ brief first advent perfectly fulfilled the ancient Spring Holy Days (of Lev.23) more perfectly than is easily seen. So logically his long second advent will fulfill the Autumn Holy Days, their names and pattern:

  TRUMPETS (of Rev, return at 7th during the concurrent bowls) - 10days/1000yrs - to ‘DAY’ oF ATONEMENT - 5days/500yrs - to TABERNACLES — a fiery regenesis, “All new.. God will now tabernacle with mankind” Rev.21:1-5.

BOOK OF REVELATION

(After the 7th and 8th millennium (aka, the second advent of Jesus) and after the “palin(again)genesis” another biG bang into the universe (as is) theN set in motion..) 

     23 - The New Jerusalem doesn’t need the sun or the moon, for the glory of God is its radiance, and its lamp is the Lamb. 24 And by its light the nations will walk. And {those who were} the kings of earth will bring [pheró - carried, to be conveyed] {turn over} their glory into it, 25 and its gates will not be shut by day. There will be no night in the city. 26 They will bring into it the glory and the honor of the nations. 27 Nothing impure will enter it, nor anyone who practices what is shameful or deceitful, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life. [Jn.12:32, 1Tim.4:10]

     22:1 - Then the angel showed me the river of the water of Life, clear as crystal flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb. 2 And through the middle of the street of the city, and on either side of the river, is the tree of life bearing twelve kinds of fruit, each for its month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing [therapeia - healing, service, care] of the nations.

     {Life, clear and pure as crystal.. How do you create genuinely able to think and reason beings, aNd, keep paradise/perfection intact? Total ant farm versus total ‘herd’ immunity.. the dis-ease as part of the cure?}

BOOK OF REVELATION

10 - And he (an angel) carried me (John) in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and he showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem. It was coming down from God, out of heaven, 11 and it shone with his glory. It’s radiance was like a most precious stone, like jasper, clear as crystal.

     12 It had a great, high wall of twelve gates, with twelve angels at the gates. And on them were written the names of the twelve tribes of Israel. {Upon believing, we’re “grafted into Israel” Ro.11:17-26.} 13 There were three gates facing east, three facing north, three south and three west.

     14 The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. 15 The angel who talked with me had a measuring rod of gold with which to measure the city, the gates and the walls. {Note - a rod is a measuring stick, the “iron rod” Jesus will rule the nations with is Truth, which is unbreakable, an unbreakable measure, that breaks all that isn’t true.}

     16 The city was as long as it was wide. He measured the city with the rod and found it to be 12,000 stadia in length, and as wide and high as it is long. [Stadia - a greek measurement, stadium length, the length of a race course,  furlong which is an 8th of a mile - 12,000 stadia, between 1,300 to 1,400 miles?]

     17 The angel measured the wall using human and angel measurement, and it was 144 cubits thick. 18 The wall was of jasper, the city of pure gold, pure as glass. 19 The foundations of the city walls were adorned with every kind of precious stone. The city had twelve foundations, each made of a precious stone, the first jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald, 20 the fifth onyx, the sixth ruby, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth turquoise, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst. 21 The twelve gates were of pearl, each gate made of a single pearl. The great street of the city was of gold, as pure and clear as glass. 22 I didn’t see in the city, a temple, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.

     {Truth/Logos is far and wide.. and overflowing with radiant gems..?}

 N.T. in a year reading & study, verses R paraphrased [  ] references {  } thots

☀️ 34 - Wake up! To what is right, and don’t go on sinning! For some have no knowledge of God! I say this to your shame!

     35 So someone will ask, “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body?” 36 Oh senseless ones! What you plant doesn’t sprout to life unless it dies. {It’s no longer a seed.} 37 And what you plant isn’t the body that will be, but a bare kernel of wheat or some other grain. 38 But God gives it a body as he has chosen, and to each kind of seed its own body. 39 For not all are the same, but there is one form for humans, another for animals, another for birds, and yet another for fish. 40 And there are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, and the glory of the heavenly is one glory, and the glory of the earthly, is another. [“This perishable must put on the imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality” Vs.53. Vs.50, “Flesh and blood cannot inherit”] {would burst these old wineskins? So a body, but higher, finer.. and no entropy! Remember Jesus after resurrection, “see my hands.. my feet..” And each one’s heart and mind will be sealed and immune to contamination/imperfection, which is, and results in, entropy. Instead of creation as a mere ant farm, total ‘herd’ immunity from straying from God who iS Life, and “is perfect” (Mt.5:48). “All” with character clear as crystal. Paradise/perfection and river and trees of Life kept intact. Capitol New Jerusalem, streets of gold. “The lion will eat straw like the ox and the bear will graze with the cow” Isaiah 11:7.}

12-09 - Mark 16 12-18

 N.T. in a year reading & study, verses R paraphrased [  ] references {  } thots

☀️ (Mark’s account of the same events, likely by interview, said to be the first gospel written. But these verses are part of a disputed ending.)

     12 - After these things Jesus appeared in another form to two of them, as they were walking into the country. 13 And they went back and told the rest what had happened, but they didn’t believe it.

     14 Afterward he appeared to the eleven as they were at table, and told them their unbelief was due to having stony hearts, as they hadn’t believed those who saw him after he had risen.

     15 And he said, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel [euaggelion - good news or tidings] to the whole creation. 16 The one believing and baptized, sozo [meaning, I heal, preserve, rescue] but the disbelieving [apisteó - disbelieving, unfaithful, doubting] is {still} under penalty {cause and effect, entropy. Not yet pardoned, the record expunged.}

     17 And these signs will accompany those who believe, in my name they will cast out demons, will speak in new tongues {have a new message? A new word..} 18 and if they pick up serpents or drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them. They will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

     {This will certainly be true during the Lord’s long second advent? Consisting of 3 parts? — (1)“the” millennium, yes? A Sabbath millennium, (2)then, the releasing of the adversary/first gone rogue one (& company) and his gathering of descendants of mortal survivors of the apocalypse, to war. They surround the millennial Jerusalem - which is not yet the “New Jerusalem” - and then is his fiery, final defeat. And third, (3)the GWT judgment ‘day’. A ‘day’ of total review, and surely(?) closure for all.

     Jesus’ first brief advent perfectly fulfilled the - Spring - holy days of Leviticus 23 (as if they are prophecy, or an outline). Therefor I think, logically, the Fall holy days prophecy his long second advent. See the names and pattern. 🤓And because of the pattern, I think the release of the adversary, the gathering and the war, takes 500 years. And is the first half of an eighth millennium. And GWT judgment ‘day’ is the 2nd half. Because Revelation 20 is told like describing the crests of waves, and not much of the in between, this “8th day” and “last great day” seems to be hidden? Lev.23(36) and Jn.7:37 -> CU/Christian Universalism. See pinned images on my fb page.}

 BooK of Revelation

                a paraphrased study  

(The Greek word Philadelphia means “brotherly love” sisterly too!) 7 -  “To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: These are the words of he who is holy and true, he who holds the key of David. What he opens no one can shut. And what he shuts no one can open. 8 I know your deeds. And I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know you have but little strength, yet you’ve kept my word, and you’ve not denied my name.

     9 I’ll make those who are of the seat of Satan, who claim to be chosen {and elite} though they’re not, but are liars.. {Such as maneuvered Jesus’ execution. Was politics. Not spiritual/religious. Neither were the inquisitions or even the crusades which were perhaps partially religious.} I will make them come and fall down at your feet and acknowledge that I have loved you. 10 Since you have kept my command to endure patiently {being of LOVE? brotherly/sisterly love} I will-keep-you-from the hour of trial that is coming upon all the world to test the inhabitants of earth. (Rev.7:15b-17)

     11 I am coming quickly. [Literally, the sentence has two words - erchomai - to come or go; and tachu - quickly, swiftly, oR soon.] Hold on to what you have, so no one will take your crown. {Of Life, not metal.} 12 The one who overcomes I will make a pillar in the temple of my God. Never again will they leave it. {Overcome what? The lower self centered self. Yes?} I will write on them the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from my God [to the earth!] and I will also write on them my new name. 13 Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches. {And to all believers …called the church or churches. Not the buildings. Though those in the buildings, yes. Philadelphia believers (aka, of Love) are the only ones the Lord says he will keep safe from “the hour” of trial -> Rev.17:12,16; Dn.12:11-11 w/ Lk.19:41,44 and 1Cor.3:16? As the last “ten days tribulation”?}

Revelation 21 23 to 22 2

 WeeKly BooK oF Revelation

      By Necessity Slightly 

             Paraphrased   

23 - On the east side (of the heavenly Jerusalem, that John saw come down to Earth) there were three gates, on the north side there were three gates, with three gates on the south side, and also on the west side. The four sides of the heavenly city having three gates each. 14 And the wall of the city had twelve (great) foundation stones, and upon the foundation stones were engraved the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

     15 And the one who spoke with me had a measuring rod made of gold in order to measure the city and its gates and its walls. 16 The city lies foursquare, its length the same as its width. And he measured the city with his measuring rod, 12,000 stadia. Its length and width and height are equal. 17 He also measured its wall, 144 cubits by human measurement, which is also an angel's measurement. (All of it a cube?) 18 The wall was built of jasper, while the city was pure gold and {radiant} like clear glass. 19 The foundation stones of the wall of the city were adorned with every kind of jewel. The first was jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald, 20 the fifth onyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, the twelfth amethyst. 21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls, each of the them made of a single pearl. And the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass.

     22 But I saw no temple in the city, for its temple is the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb. 23 And the city actually has no need of sun or moon to shine upon it! For the glory of God gives it light, and its lamp is the Lamb, 24 and by its light will the nations walk, and the kings of earth will bring their glory into it, 25 and its gates will never be shut by day. And there shall be no night there. 26 They will bring into it the glory and the honor of the nations. 27 But nothing unclean can enter it, nor anyone who does what is detestable or false, but only those who are written in the Lamb's book of life.

     22:1 - Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, and it was as bright and clear as crystal. And it flowed from the throne of God and of the Lamb, 2 and it flowed through the middle of the street of the city. And on either side of the river, was the tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit, each for its month. The leaves of the tree being for the service and care of the nations. …{A spiritual picture within a literal picture!? Or vice versa?}

Revelation 20 11 - 21:3

 WeeKly BooK oF Revelation

      By Necessity Slightly 

             Paraphrased      

11 - Then I saw a great white throne (GWT) and he who was seated upon it. And from his face the earth and heavens fled away. {Much, much earlier, before doing any act of creation, he could see all possibilities like a floating blanket of clouds stretched out before his face, full circle around him. I saw this in prayer -n- study many years ago, the beginning of insights which came sort of, like “bams!”.} 11- A great white throne (GWT) and he who sits upon it. And from his face, earth and heavens fled away, and no place was found for them. 12 And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne. Books were opened, and another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead [nekros - dead, deceased] were judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done.

     13 The sea gave up the dead who were in it, death and hades [“place of the dead”] {the grave, state of being gone} gave up the dead which were in them and they were judged, each one, according to what they had done. {Same as we were and are judged now. Logic, since “God does the choosing” and not us, and not because we are better, or worse, or any smarter, than any others. It’s just roles to play in this alternate reality from God’s blueprint - “all the world is a stage”.. (Shakespeare) - proving to one and all, and all together at once, that He is Life, there is no choice. It’s his way or no way. The (measuring) rod - oF Iron. Sorry! The Law of Life cannot be broken! And life, creation, humanity hAs to be Perfect, because he is Life, and, “is Perfect” Mt.5:48.} 14 Then Death and Hades were hurled into the lake of fire. [2Pet.3:12-13 “..the heavens will be set on fire and dissolved, the heavenly bodies melting.. (then) a new heavens and a new earth..”] This is the second death, the lake of fire. {The end of death and imperfection/“missing the mark” - One and done! 1Cor.15:24-26. First death is the one come about through, and “in Adam”.} 15 And if [ei - whether, if] anyone was found, whose name {by then} was not written in the book of life, they were thrown [balló - thrown, cast, hurled, put, placed] into the lake of fire. 21:1 - And I saw - a new heavens, and a new earth - for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, [were “set on fire” and “dissolved”, the “heavenly bodies/planets and stars melting”] and the sea {separation upon earth} was no more. (Isaiah 11:7)

     2 And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, radiant as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will tabernacle/tent/dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God.”

GospeL Verses ~ John 17:1-11

1 - When Jesus had said these things, he looked up toward heaven, and said, “Father, the hour has come, glorify your Son that the Son may glorify you, 2 since you have given him authority over all that live and breath [sarx - all flesh] to give enduring life to all you have given him. 3 And this is the enduring life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. 4 I glorified you while on earth, having accomplished the work that you gave me to do. 5 And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world was made.

      6 I have made you known to those you gave me out of the world. (To be disciples. Note how in the Revelation vision - after all is said and done - the foundation stones of the New Jerusalem, kingdom temple, are named after the disciples, Rev.21:14.) Yours they were, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word. 7 Now they know that everything you have given me is from you. 8 For I have spoken to them what you gave to me to say, and they have received it and have come to know in truth that I came from you. They believe that you sent me. 9 I am praying for them. I’m not praying for the world but for those you have given me, for they are yours. 10 All mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I’m glorified in them. 11 And I’m no longer in the world, but they are in the world. I’m coming to you, Holy Father, keep them in your name, the name which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are one. (Christ-ian.)

From New Testament Letters

     (In the Order Believed Written)

                ~ 2 Peter 1:1-8 ~

1 - From Simeon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ - to those who, with us, have obtained the precious faith which is through the righteousness of God, and our Savior Jesus Christ: 2 May the grace and peace that’s in knowing God and our Lord Jesus, be multiplied to you! 3 God’s divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through knowing he who has called us to his own glory and excellence. 4 He has granted to us his precious and exceedingly great promises, by which we become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption [phthorá, from phtheírō – destruction from internal corruption, deterioration, decay, perishableness, corruption, decomposition] of the world [kosmos - order, the world, literally something ordered, an ordered system like the universe, creation, the world]. (So, “having escaped the corruption that is of this world” - the present order - of life as we presently know it.) 5 For this very reason, make every effort to add to your (precious) faith, virtue, and to virtue, knowledge, 6 to knowledge, self-control, and to self-control, steadfastness/stability, to steadfastness/stability, godliness, 7 to godliness, genuine brotherly affection, and to brotherly affection, love. 8 For if these qualities are yours and increasing, they will keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowing of our Lord Jesus.

     6 “These words are faithful and true” the angel said, “and the Lord God of the spirits [pneuma: wind, breath, spirit] of the prophets, has sent his angel to show his servants what must come to pass in quickness [tachu - quickly, speedily]”.

     7 “And behold, I come quickly [tachu]. Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.”

     8 I, John, am the one who heard and saw all these things. And when I heard and saw them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed them to me, 9 but he said, “You mustn’t do that! I am a fellow servant with you and the prophets, and with those who keep the words of this book. Worship God.”

     10 Then he told me, “Do not seal up the words of this book of prophecy, for the time is near at hand.11 The ones being unrighteous, let them be unrighteous still. (Until then! And INITIALLY during GWTJ ‘day’.) And the ones who are vile, let them be vile still. (Until then! And INITIALLY during GWTJ ‘day’.)

I am the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star.”

     17 The Spirit and the Bride say, “Come.” And the one hearing let them say come. And the one thirsting let them come, and the one desiring, let them take the water of life freely. 18 And I testify to everyone hearing the words of the prophecy of this book, if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described. 19 And if anyone should take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in what is described in this (Rev.) book, the share out of the New Jerusalem and out of the tree of life (the healing of the nations). (See vs.3b?) 20 And He who is testifying of these things says, “Surely I am coming quickly.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus! 21 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all. Amen. 

                The End.

10 - And he (an angel) carried me (John) in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God. 11 It shone with the glory of God, and its radiance was like a stone most precious, like jasper, clear as crystal. 12 It had a great, high wall of twelve gates, with twelve angels at the gates. And on them were written the names of the twelve tribes of Israel. (All believers are “grafted into Israel” Ro.11:17-26.) 13 There were three gates facing east, three facing north, three south and three west. 14 The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. 15 The angel who talked with me had a measuring rod of gold with which to measure the city, the gates and the walls. (Side Note - a rod is a measuring stick, the “iron rod” Jesus will rule the nations with is Truth, which is unbreakable, an unbreakable measure, that breaks all that is not true.) 16 The city was square, long as it was wide. He measured the city with the rod and found it to be 12,000 stadia in length, and as wide and high as it is long. [Stadia - a greek measurement, stadium length, the length of a race course,  furlong which is an 8th of a mile - 12,000 stadia, between 1,300 to 1,400 miles?) 17 The angel measured the wall using human and angel measurement, and it was 144 cubits thick. 18 The wall was of jasper, the city of pure gold, pure as glass. 19 The foundations of the city walls were adorned with every kind of precious stone. The city had twelve foundations, each made of a precious stone, the first jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald, 20 the fifth onyx, the sixth ruby, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth turquoise, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst. 21 The twelve gates were of pearl, each gate made of a single pearl. The great street of the city was of gold, as pure and clear as glass. 22 I didn’t see in the city, a temple, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.

𝓓aily 𝓖ospel \/erses ✨

            Mark 4:1-12

(This is likely the earliest account of this written, as Mark’s gospel is thought to be the first one written. Mark wasn’t one of the twelve but was a sort of secretary later to Peter, Paul and likely others.)

     1 - Once again Jesus began to teach beside the sea, and such a large crowd gathered around Him that He got into a boat and sat in it, while all the people crowded along the shore. 2 He used parables to teach them many things, saying to them, 3 "Listen! A farmer went out to plant seed. 4 As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. 5 Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. 6 And when the sun rose, it was scorched, and since it had no root, it withered away. 7 Other seed fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no grain. 8 Still other seed fell on good soil, where it sprouted, grew up, and produced a crop, and yielded thirtyfold, sixtyfold or a hundredfold what was planted.” 9 Then he said, “Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand.” 10 Later, when Jesus was alone with the twelve disciples and with the others who were gathered around, they asked him what the parables meant. 11 And he told them, “The secret of the kingdom of God has been given to you. But to those on the outside (of believing) everything is said in parables 12 so that, 'Seeing, they might see and not perceive; and hearing, they might hear and not understand, lest at what time [pote - when? at what time] they should turn and be forgiven [aphíēmi - released].

     (1Cor.15:22-24 - “For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. But each in their own order.. [1]those who are Christ’s at His coming, then [2]the end, when He shall hand over the kingdom to the God and Father, when He shall have annulled all dominion, and all authority and power..” including, lastly death, vs.26).

From New Testament Letters

          (In Order Written)

           ~ Hebrews 12:15-25 ~

15 Look out for each other so that none of you fails to receive the grace of God. Watch out that no poisonous root of bitterness grows up to trouble you, corrupting many. 16 That there be no sexually immoral, nor godless person like Esau, who sold his own birthright for a single meal. (Mt.25:1-13, door to what?) 17 You know that afterward, when he wanted the-blessing, it was too late, even though he sought it with bitter tears.

     18 You have not come to a mountain of flaming fire, darkness, gloom, and whirlwind, as the Israelites did at Mount Sinai. 19 To a trumpet blast and such a voice speaking words that those who heard it begged that no further word be spoken to them, 20 for they could not bear what was commanded, that if so much as a beast touches the mountain, it shall be stoned or shot with an arrow. (Because contaminated with nuclear energy?) 21 Moses himself was so frightened at the sight that he said, “I tremble with fear.” 22 But you, you have come to Mount Zion. (Rev.14:1) To the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem. You have come to thousands upon thousands of angels in joyful assembly, 23 to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are registered in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect. (But not yet! Heb.11:39-40, “These were all commended for their faith, yet none of them received what had been promised, since God had planned something better for us so that only together with us would they be made perfect. 1Cor.15:52 - namely “..at the last trumpet sounding”.) 24 You have come to Jesus, the one who mediates the new covenant between God and people, and to the sprinkled blood, which speaks of forgiveness, speaking a far better thing than the blood of Abel. 25 Be careful that you do not refuse to listen to the One who is speaking. For if the people of Israel did not escape when they refused to listen to Moses, the earthly messenger, we will certainly not escape (imo, the naturally occurring judgment) if we reject the One who speaks to us from heaven!

The Human Story

Revelation, or its Greek name, “Apocalypse”, is the story of the consummation of good and evil. Adam and Eve, placed in and of the GARDEN PARADISE had eaten of the forbidden tree of the KNOWLEDGE of both good and evil, which fruit we are still chewing on to this day. (Once thinking ability, thus choice, was endowed, a whole new world, or tree, of possibilities ‘came to be’.) In this final book of the Bible, the FRUIT OF THE EARTH is fully ripe, both goodness, and wickedness. John was a very old man, when Roman authorities banished him to an uninhabited island called “Patmos”.
     While he was there, the Lord Jesus showed him a great vision of how man’s world would end up. The visions of this book are especially poignant. Believers are urged to read, listen to, and hear, the words of this little book – after the mighty crash of all things false and the last great war of nations, Armageddon (with environmental woes as a precursor to these things) and after a 1,000 year Kingdom of our Lord's long second advent of rebuilding paradise upon Earth, the New Jerusalem (the new capital of the planet) comes down from heaven, onto the earth.
     It shines of jewels and gold, and the pure sparkling river of the water of life flows through it, to all the world, with trees of life on either side, which leaves and fruit will be for the total healing, and continued health of the nations. No eye will again cry from sorrow, there will be no sickness, suffering or death. The question of good and evil, right and wrong, what is life as opposed to what is death, has been answered for all time, and all citizens have it engraved deeply upon their very hearts and minds for all eternity and ages. To stray from Perfection/Life/God, is to stray away from the very “breath of life” and can only ever end in a self destructive puff of smoke... and dust and ashes.
     Elsewhere we are told "eye has not seen, nor ear conceived, nor heart ever been able to fully imagine, all the good things God has created for those who love Him."
