            ☀️ Romans 1:8-15

8 - First, I (Paul) thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you! Because your faith is proclaimed in all the world! 9 And God - who I serve in my spirit for the good news of his Son - is my witness, that I always mention you 10 in my prayers. And asking that somehow by God's will I may now at last succeed in coming to you there in Rome. 11 For I long to see you, that I may share with you some spiritual gift to strengthen your faith. 12 And that we may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith, both yours and mine.

     13 I want you to know, dear brothers and sisters, that I planned many times to visit you, but I was prevented until now. I’ve wanted to work among you and see spiritual fruit, as well as in the nations beyond you. 14 I’m under obligation both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish, to all. 15 So I’m eager to come to you believers there in Rome, and then beyond if possible, with this Good News! {For all.}

            🌙 Luke 4:16-30

16 - Jesus went home to Nazareth, where he had lived while growing up. And as was his custom, on the Sabbath, he went to the synagogue. He stood up to read 17 and the attendant handed him the scroll of the prophet Isaiah. So he unrolled it and found the place where it’s written, 18 “The Spirit of the LORD is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed {all of us}. 19 To proclaim the year of the LORD’s favor.”

     {This is Isaiah 61:1-2 - verse two includes not only “the time of the LORD’s favor” but also - “the day of vengeance”. Imperfection is bound to include oppressions, which can spiral down way low as to what occurs and what is done. In the New Testament quote of it, vengeance is from the word ekdikos - “avenger, one who carries out justice”. And the rest of the verse points out it is two sides of a coin — the time of the LORD’s favor, but also of justice and retribution. As cause and effect.

     You know, man’s number is six, we’re made up of carbon which has six protons, six neutrons and six electrons. And where triple six shows up in prophecy has persuaded me that both apocalypse (as collapse to chaos/the “unveiling”) and armageddon, are totally mankind done. That sounds the most logical to me. Especially as some very dark and nefarious things are prophesied, and summed up. Let alone history as well.

     ‘Wrath’ is translated from the Greek word orge, which means passion. I think cause and effect is God’s ‘passion’ because the only other option is a creation that’s merely and forever, an ant farm. As Life he lives through all that occurs, but endowed genuine thinking and reasoning ability anyway! Guess he figures what he’s creating is worth it?}

     20 Then Jesus rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and sat down. Everyone in the synagogue was looking at him. 21 And he said, “Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.”

     22 All had heard of him and they wondered at the gracious words they knew he spoke. But they said to one another, “Isn’t this Joseph's son?” 23 So he said, “Doubtless you’ll quote to me this proverb, ‘Physician, heal yourself.’ And ‘what we’ve heard you did at Capernaum, do also here in your hometown.’ 24 Truly, I tell you, a prophet is never accepted in his hometown. 25 There were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heavens were shut up - three years and six months - and a great famine came over all the land, 26 and Elijah was sent to none of them but only to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow.

     27 And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of the prophet Elisha, and none of them were cleansed [katharizó - root of catharsis] except Naaman the Syrian.”

     28 When they heard these things, they were filled with wrath, 29 and they drove him out of the synagogue, and out of the town, rushing with him toward the edge of the cliff, which the town was built on, so they could throw him over the edge. 30 But passing through their midst, he went on his way.

Revelation - 10 8-11

 BooK of Revelation

                  a paraphrased study

8 - Then the voice that I [John] had heard from heaven spoke to me again, “Go and take the open {meant to be understood?} scroll from the hand of the angel who’s standing upon sea and land.”

     9 So I went to the angel and asked him to give me the little scroll. And he said, “Take and eat it.” [Katesthíō - from katá - down, and esthíō - eat all the way down.] “It will turn your stomach sour {it’s a bitter cup} “but in your mouth it will be as sweet as honey.” {The little scroll, prophecy, highlighted like this, shows its importance. Prophecy puts the jigsaw pieces together. The consummation, the full and mature fruit, consequences, results, tells the whole story. Straying cannot work. God iS life, and he “is perfect”. Every self first and dog eat dog cannot work. Life as we presently know it is a ‘parable’ of the decomposing ‘apple’ - and its “worm that doesn’t quit” - which is the decomposing. The fading away (slow gehenna) that doesn’t stop. Imperfection is the worm, because God iS life. But, no option to stray in Eden would mean creation as a mere ant farm.}

     10 So I took the little scroll from the angel’s hand and I ate it. It tasted as sweet as honey in my mouth but when I had eaten it, my stomach became sour. 11 Then I was told, “You must prophesy more about many peoples, nations, languages and kings.”

𝑅𝐸𝒱𝐸𝐿𝒜𝒯𝐼𝒪𝒩/𝒜𝒫𝒪𝒞𝒜𝐿𝒴𝒫𝒮𝐸 6:1-14

1 - I watched as the Lamb broke open the first of the seven seals (on the scroll, which is the vision). Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, “Come!” 2 And I looked, and behold, a white horse! And its rider had a bow [toxon - a bow - used once in the scripture, from tiktó - bring forth, produce, beget, yield]. And given to him was a crown, and he rode out conquering, and to conquer. (To keep conquering!) [Crown - Rev.14:14, Mt.27:29.]

     [Col.2:15 - He disarmed principalities and powers, having made an open show of his triumph over them.]

     (The rest of the seals - elements of the age of the growing Christian era.. then decline - are the world’s response and course.)

     3 When the Lamb broke the second seal, I heard the second living being say, “Come!” 4 And there went forth another horse, fiery red, and to its rider was granted to take peace from the Earth, so that one another they shall slay. And was given to him a great [megas] sword (weapon). [Hello?] 5 And when the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come!” Then I looked and saw a black horse, and its rider held in his hand a pair of scales. 6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures say “a ration [choenix - a dry measure (day’s serving) of less than a quart] of wheat for a day’s wages, three measures of barley [krithḗ – barley, the grain eaten by the common person, i.e. "poor man's bread" as opposed to using the more expensive grain, wheat. Barley was used "principally as food for horses"] (three measures) for a day’s wages. But harm not the oil and wine. (Luxuries?)

     7 When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, “Come!” 8 And I looked, and behold, a pale horse! And its rider’s name was Death, and the grave (mass?) followed him. And to him was given authority over a fourth of the earth, to slay with sword, famine and pestilence, and by wild beasts of the earth. [Beasts in prophecy are usually governments.] (The pale rider.) 9 When the Lamb broke the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls [psyxḗ - from psyxō - to breathe, blow, root of psyche, corresponds to the OT phágō - I eat, translated “soul”] of those who had been slain because of the word of God and for being faithful in their testimony. (Like the blood of Abel which “cried out to God”. Not individual personalities imprisoned under the altar for millennia. Lol.)

     10 And they were crying in a loud voice, saying, "Until when, O Lord, holy and true, will you judge [krínō - bringing to trial, trying of fact in a court of law, originally meant "separate” so Homer, of Ceres separating the grain from the chaff (😮grain from chaff is one plant - the ultimate end - Greek “tel” - “end-aim” of God, is the winnowing of “all” - Greek “pas” - all. Those winnowed during this brief lifetime will go through the open “door” of “the” millennium, which leads to serving, called reigning, during the Lord’s long second advent. For surely, doing the works Jesus does, is surely reigning.

     All others will be winnowed during the second half (actually last quarter, Rev.20:11-13) of his second advent - exAct SAME process (surely!) — “Tel” is the root of “telescope” a great word to portray how God’s process unfolds in widening scopes until reaching full scope at the “end-aim”. The more study of the scripture, the more certain we are. Maybe the Kingdom is like widening ripples in a pond?)

     10 And they were crying in a loud voice, saying, "Until WHEN, O Lord, holy and true, will you judge [krínō - bring to trial] and avenge [ekdikeó - give justice over, defend, avenge, vindicate, penalize] our blood from those dwelling upon the earth?" 11 Each of them was given a white robe, and they were told to rest a little while longer, until the complete number of other believers are killed, as they had been. (Aha! What is the judgment that comes after believers are killed via the whole triple six system? NoT a mythical ‘hell’. [Dn.12:11-12, Mt.24:1-2 “see all this?” =‘s 45 days can’t buy or sell, with the last “ten days” escalating? Rev.2:10]

     12 I watched as the Lamb broke open the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake. The sun became as dark as sackcloth, and the whole/full? moon became as red as blood. (Reflecting red from fire/s? I believe the seals are described as a blend of their beginning (first) and ending (last) effects, veiling what this sixth seal is. (And what this opening, first event was.) The great [mega] sword (weapon) given to the rider on the fiery red horse of war ..surely? See 7:1,3!)

     13 The stars of the sky fell to the earth like green figs falling from a tree shaken (blown) by a great [mega] wind. 14 The sky receded like a scroll being rolled up. And all mountains and islands were moved from out of their place.

     The seals are elements of the age of the vision.

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, táxos 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.

   “𝓞𝓯 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓲𝓷𝓬𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓼𝓮 𝓸𝓯 𝓹𝓮𝓪𝓬𝓮 𝓽𝓱𝓮𝓻𝓮 𝔀𝓲𝓵𝓵 𝓫𝓮 𝓷𝓸 𝓮𝓷𝓭..”

                                 𝓘𝓼𝓪𝓲𝓪𝓱 9:7.

The Scroll of God

The Bibles we read come from a long line. What once were scrolls written in Hebrew, and words spoken in Aramaic (the gospels) went through the Greek language and were likely Hellenized like most other things. Then there was the Latin. So the Hebrew "sheol" where there was "neither doing nor thought" became first "hades" (Greek) a "place of the dead" and then "inferno" (Roman). Then came Signor Dante with his entertaining tales (in the 1300's). This was after some Norse tribes had brought into the lands their slant on an afterlife, named Helheim, shortened to Hel. And then of course came along (1600's) good King James, whose heart was likely in the right place, it's just by then the culture was saturated with these other (nonbiblical) ideas.

Does The Book Of Revelation Follow The Pattern Of Israel's Holy Days?

This site/paper -
http://www.originofnations.org/HRP_Papers/Charts/Feast%20Days%20&%20Revelation.pdf - shows a chart suggesting the Book of Revelation correlates with Israel's ancient Holy Days

The idea rings true to me.

Copy / Pasted :

Holy Feast Day/Book of Revelation Parallels, (and I thought I'd add how the Feast Day is fulfilled)

Chapter --- Prophecy – Event --- Holy Feast Day

1 --- Introduction – Christ the Lamb of God --- Passover (Jesus is the Passover Lamb, unblemished, etc)

2-3 --- Seven Churches – sin in spiritual Israel and examining the self --- Seven Days of Unleavened Bread (Jesus is the Unleavened/free from sin/flaw Bread of Life, Manna from heaven)

4-5 --- Christ the Lamb, Redeemer  – worthy to open the scroll --- Sheaf of the Firstfruits during the DUB(days of unleavened bread; my note: no, "Firstfruits" always falls on the Sunday of Spring Holy Week)

6 – 8:6 --- Seven Seals of the Scroll  – Pentecost(?) ---- or part of FirstFriuts? (1st horseman of the apocalypse, white horse, victor, ride continues to 'end') "the scroll is opened (unrolled) and out comes a white horse and rider.."

7:4,9; 14:4 --- Two Wave Loaves/Two Multitudes – Israel and the Gentiles --- Pentecost (Acts 2,from many lands)

8:7 --- 11:19 – Seven Trumpets --- Trumpets

12 --- INSET (hooray, someone else sees this chapter is an insert, whole on its own)

13 --- 19  – Great Tribulation --- Trumpets  ---this, and the rest, is where I would differ
20:1-3  – Satan bound --- Atonement
20:4-6  – Millennial reign of the Messiah --- Tabernacles
20:7-15  – Judgment Last Great Day
(Quote: The above chart is based on the information contained in David Hill’s booklet on The Correlation between the Holy Days and the Book of Revelation)
-----------------------------------------------------

This makes more sense to me:

Trumpets --- calamities/judgments announce the return of Jesus, the blown shofar "come to the Lord"
     7th Trump - His return/1st resurrection/beginning of His 1000 year reign (represented by the 10 days of "Trumpets"?)
          Bowls (of final bubbling and spilling over consequences)/Judgment
               (quick & ?concurrent) and Satan bound

Day of Atonement --- 2nd resurrection, judgment day (represented by 5 days between DOA & Tabernacles?)

Tabernacles! --- "God will now tabernacle with man" - The New Jerusalem and the very throne of God come to Earth (made new in a universe made new) - God filling all things every where - "all in all")
