a new UR book of revelation study

[marie glen]

This is a study I?m doing through the Book of Revelation in a year, the scripture is 52 weekly readings and study. I paraphrase the verses a bit as last year I got accused of plagiarizing versions of the bible. :dontknow:
    There?s keys I believe, that make the book easy, down to earth and logical. And understood it completes and rounds off the whole biblical message. Understanding what it is God is doing and how, and most importantly why, helps everyone to trust him more! And that is always the goal, yes?
   I?m in the second week of the study. And there?s an intro.

   So here?s the intro.

About The Vision: Ladies and gentlemen take your seats..
     And hold on to your seats! We are about to take the journey of all journeys. It?s the journey into Truth. Not many may care about Truth.. Let the blind lead the blind.. It ?aLL? comes out in the wash best and pure in the end! [Greek word tel, telos, the end-aim. We are zooming toward the target. In the spirit of the translators, all things come out best and pure in the ?end?. In the spirit of the Spirit/Presence of God - All come out best and pure.. Greek pas - all.]
     Life as we presently know it, is the sieve. The crucible and laver. It?s the ?parable? of the decomposing ?apple? and its worm that simply cannot quit. God (surely?) is Life. And he ?is perfect? Mt.5:48, and 100% unfettered Genius.
     And if there had been no option to stray in Eden??
     In spirit this is where our story begins..
     The man of lawlessness / the anthropoi of lawlessness / the mankind of lawlessness iS ?seated (as) in the temple as god?/highest power. ?Christendom haS ?fallen away?. The world iS following a ?false prophet? and yes this one has a prophecy. On the wing (pinnacle) of desolations of course will come the infamous and notorious triple six. But that?s down the road a ways.

Some keys/clues to get us started..

[#1] - the vision (scroll) is the ride and victory (Ps.2) of the white horse rider, the gospel 6:1-2

[#2] - the vision is told 3 times ? 6:1-2 to 11:19 - ch.12 a stand alone history and insert (but vs 17 needs Mt.23:39) - and 13:1 to 19:11. All 3 meet again at the seventh trumpet.

[#3] - the seals are described - at their first occurrence (ch.6) as their fuLL effects on planet Earth, first to very last, veiling what, especially seal 6 is and why Rev.7:1,3 (9,4)

[#4] - the Rev.13:13 event pinpoints an office, not (yet?) a person

[#5] - The ?false prophet? is not the 13:13 office but enabled the event/seal. Its ?strong delusion? of ?seating man in the temple as God?/highest power (man/anthropos, this too not yet? a man) caused western culture to ?fall away?. It has modern wonders, ?miracles to mislead? and of course a prophecy.

[marie glen]

Apocalypse is the unveiling of Truth when our false beliefs and castles come falling down, both individual and collective. I think it is unavoidable as only Truth can endure and remain standing. All other foundations being sand.

I have written a lot on the subject of revelation over the years.  I don't write about it now, because my mind is continually putting pieces of it together as I discover more and it would require constant re-editing if I were to write about it on paper (or computer).  I couldn't have worked out much of it, had it not been for living in the age we are in though - I'll say that.

I reckon Mr Knoch of the Concordant commentary would have written a lot of things differently also, had he seen what is going on in our times.

Your interpretation is different from mines' in many ways... Knoch's is too. 

Reveal-ation. (Ongoing) of God in us ("in man You El") (Immanuel )(Truth/Christ in mankind (etc), so I don't believe any follower has a full understanding of it - seeing through a glass is still dimly. 
It's nice to share ideas though, (eventhough things are 'sealed' and 'hidden' for a reason often (and one shouldn't throw pearls to pigs)). but maybe something someone says will click with someone else and broaden their understanding, but when it comes to such subjects; I prefer to chat to someone one on one, because I think it's good to let people answer their own questions and deal with one thing at a time. - It's a lot to digest.
Most people aren't even aware it is a chiastic scroll (and that within the scroll), and can't see the 'flow' of events correctly in it as a result, and have no idea of the times they are currently living in and what is on the near horizon. - Most are already branding a 'mark' of the world's system unawares; being governed by the world instead of governing themselves and heeding man's (so called) 'law' which is no law (Who has the lawful right to block out the sun?); rather than God's.  Dark days indeed.  Apostacy indeed.

     1 : 1 - 8 
1 - This is the revelation of Jesus Christ - which God gave to him - in order for him (Lord Jesus) to show his servants ?what things when they happen, will happen in quickness?. {The believers remembered Jesus? words, Mt.24, Mk.13, Lk.21, and left Jerusalem before the somber day of Jerusalem?s razing by Rome in 70 CE. ?Smaller? scope version of the also possible full scope version at the culmination of history and life as we presently know it, this crucible, slow gehenna fading away, and sorry to verbalize it, but corruption, dissolution. Which is why ?God is savior of all? because entropy is a process that ?doesn?t quit?, the ?worm that doesn?t die?. THE - FiRe - that is not put out/quenched.} And Jesus sent it by his angel to his servant John. 2 Who is now bearing witness to the message of God, and to the life and works of Jesus Christ, even to all that he saw. (John talked about himself in this way also in his gospel account/recollection.) 3 Blessed/happy is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy [not everyone has a scripture scroll] and blessed are those who hear it and keep what is written in it. For the time is near.
     4 John, to the seven churches that are in Asia ?
   Grace to you and peace from he who is, and was, and is to come. And from the seven spirits (?seven angels of the churches?) who are before his throne. 5 And from Jesus Christ the faithful witness, the firstborn from death, and the {to be} ruler of kings upon earth. To he who loves us and has freed us from our sins [hamartia - missing the mark] by his blood {Life} 6 and has made us to be a kingdom. A kingdom of priests to his God and Father - to him be glory and dominion forever and ever! Amen! 7 Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and EVERY eye will see him {if not alive at his return, then upon GWT Judgment ?day?, great ?Day? 0f Review} and anyone who pricked/pierced him, and all tribes of earth will mourn because of him. Truly, amen.
     8 ?I am the Alpha and the Omega,? says the LORD God, ?who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.? {Who forever was, and who forever shall be.}


The revelation vision is a piece of the Truth puzzle. It can help reveal what it is God is doing and how. And most importantly why.
                 A Paraphrased Study
                                                    1:9-20
9 - I, John, your brother, in tribulation and in the kingdom, and in the patient endurance that are in Jesus, was on the prison island called Patmos on account of the word of God, and the testimony of Jesus. 10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet sounding 11 saying, ?Write what you see in a book and send it to the seven churches of Asia - Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia and Laodicea.?
     12 Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking, and I saw seven gold lampstands, 13 and in the midst of the lampstands was one like a Son of man, clothed in a long robe, with a gold sash around his chest. 14 The hairs of his head were white, like pure white wool, and pure snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire, 15 and his feet were like polished bronze, glowing in a fiery furnace. His voice was like the voice of great waters. 16 In his right hand he held seven stars, and from his mouth came a sharp two-edged sWord (?thy word is Truth? Jn.17:17). His face was like the sun in its brightness. 17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. But he laid his right hand on me, saying, ?Don?t be afraid, I?m the first and the last, 18 the living one. I died, but look, I?m alive. And I have the keys of death and of the hades/grave [originally sheol ?where there is no doing nor knowing?/awareness, Eccles.9:5,10]. 19 Write therefore the things you see, what is and what will take place later. 20 As for the mystery of the seven stars I hold in my right hand, and the seven gold lampstands, the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands (menorahs) are the seven churches. [In the prophecy, ?the stars are angels?. The lampstands are the currently believing.]

[marie glen]

Amen ANOMALYS!

[marie glen]

 ~  2:1-7  ~
1 - ?To the angel of [en - in, on, at, by, with] the church in Ephesus write - ?The words of he who holds the seven stars in his right hand, and who walks among the seven golden lampstands. 2 I know your hard work, your patient endurance, and how you can?t bear with those who do evil, but have tested those who call theirselves apostles but they?re not. And you found them to be false. 3 You have had perseverance and have endured for my name's sake, and you haven?t grown weary. 4 But I have against you this, that you have abandoned your first love. 5 Call to mind from where you have fallen and turn and the first results do. If not, however, I will come and remove your lampstand (so church) out of its place, unless you repent/change course. 6 Yet this you have, you hate [miseo - hate, detest, love less] the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. (Nicolaitans mAy have began as a following of a christian in error, and their works/things they did and believed were scandalous and corrupt.)
     7 Whoever has an ear let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches. (Plural.) To the one who is victorious [nika? - to conquer, prevail, from n?kē - victory, properly, conquer, overcome, to carry off the victory, come off victorious] I will grant to eat of the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.??
     ..How do we come off victorious? I think there?s one rule, ?love God?. Draw near. Pursue Him. Did Jesus give us a ?formula for success? on the eve of his crucifixion? A spirituaL formula. The peaceful, joyful wine of God?s Spirit/Presence. And our daily bread, from the mouth of God, the New Testament (way) of our Lord.
          bread and wine -> communion

2:8-11   and    2:12-17
8 - ?And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write: ?The words of the first and the last, the oNe, who died and is alive. 9 I know your tribulation [thlipsis - oppression, affliction, tribulation, distress, straits, pressed/pressure faced] and your poverty - but you are rich - and the slander of those who say they are genuine and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan. {Are a teaching of the adversary - we can tell pseudo truth by its fruit, key word here is slander?} 10 Don?t fear these things you suffer. Look, some of you will be tested when the devil casts some into prison. For ten days you will have {great?} tribulation.? {The last ten days will be an acceleration..? ?In the last hour? - there?s rev.17:12,16, the fall {crashing} of $ity Babylon that sits on seven continents/hills; the triple six is running; and the nations/unbelievers are being gathered to the final armageddon battle.. So the last ?ten days? of things, is an escalation in each one these?} ?Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of Life. 11 Those who have an ear {🌽} let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches. The one who conquers [nika? - from n?kē - victory - to conquer - overcomes, prevails, gains the victory] will not be hurt [adike? - acted unjustly towards, injured, harmed] by the second [deuteros - duo - two, in second place, for the second time; second in order, rank, or time; the concept of "second" often implied a position of lesser importance compared to the "first," but it could also indicate a necessary step in a sequence or process, in scriptural tradition, the number two can symbolize witness or confirmation, as seen in the requirement for two witnesses to establish a matter] {everyone suffers two, to believe is to not be injured or hurt by the second/lesser(?)} ?death.??
     {The 666, logically, being Daniel 12:11-12 with Luke 19:41,44 (hello?) and 1 Corinthians 3:16. Armageddon being Isaiah 24:20, Rev.10:4 (Ps.91). Matthew 13:30 being Rev.16:14-15-16 and Matthew 25:1-13.}

2:12-17
12 - ?And to the angel of the church in Pergamum write: ?The words of he who has the sharp two-edged sWord. 13 I know you live where Satan's throne {seat, authority} is.? {Hateful things? Fruit. The Pergamon altar (building) shaped like an altar, now displayed as part of a museum in Berlin?} ?Yet you hold fast to my name, and you didn?t deny me in the days of Antipas my faithful witness, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells. 14 But I have a few things against you. You?ve some there who hold to the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the nation of Israel, so they would eat food {🤔meaning doctrine? which fits, the feasts portrayed the beliefs, teachings and doctrine} sacrificed to idols and to {thus?} practice sexual immorality. 15 So also you have some who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans [a commentary quote - often associated with moral laxity and idolatry, promoting a lifestyle that compromised with pagan practices.. A former or semi believer Nicalaus(?)] {said listen to and come follow me? An all about Moi teaching and where they lead?}
     16 Therefore repent [metanoe? - repent, to change the mind and turn course, change the inner person; from met? - changed after being with, and noi?ō - think, properly, think differently after].
     ?If not, I will come to you soon and war against them with the sWord of my mouth.? {With Truth! Cause and effect is brutally honest.} 17 ?Whoever has an ear, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To those who overcome [nika? -  from nike - to conquer, prevail, gain the victory, carry off the victory, come off victorious, verb implying a battle; subdue, prevail, overcome] I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give to them a white stone, with a new name written on it, that no one knows except the one who receives it.? {Like an ancient ticket..? New names were common.. Saul, Paul; Simon, Peter; Jacob, Israel..]

I don't agree with the dna/breeding thing. - I don't see anything like that in Scripture. 
I think people miscomprehend what: 'angels' and 'celestials' (etc) are.  And I don't  share your views concerning the 'next' death either... But that's ok...

I DO agree with how people will not see what is coming...
People can't even see the chemicals being sprayed over their heads every day or care about what they have injected into them. - Blind trust in govern (control) ment(ality).
They can't see the poisons (WHICH ARE CLEARLY LABELLED) in the very foods they eat, and in the cosmetics they use, - from fake tans to lubricated razor-strips, from soaps to toothpastes. - A generation incapable of independent thought.
Nor can they perceive satanic symbolism EVERYWHERE; including on the very clothes they wear. - A blind generation which the Apostle Paul defines well, - oblivious to the 'deep things of satan'.
And the 'mainstream' (so-called):- 'church' is in an even worse state of course; being slaves of religious bondage (which is what the word: 'religion' means); - believing that love is eternal evil (infinite torture). - Thereby turning light to dark. 

I concur with Jesus:-

"You unbelieving generation, how long shall I stay with you? How long shall I put up with you?"...- Mark 9:19

Struth!!!  :eek:

Amen, such crazy things in the world! Also as to dna, that?s why I included a question mark. I’m undecided about that, but was previously very convinced it’s never occurred. :smile: Though I do lean toward thinking the 666 desolating upon the human temple meant for God?s Spirit/Presence, will include some behavior modification as it seems they cannot repent/believe afterwards.. (Until sometime during GWT judgment ?day? (aion). And will be praised and promoted as a ?step up? in ?evolution?.. Though I suppose that doesn?t actually involve any sort of dna manipulation..? Or at least not a mixing in of devilish dna. :hiya:

18 - ?To the angel of the church in Thyatira write: ?The words of the Son of God, whose eyes are like a flame of fire, and whose feet are like polished bronze. 19 ?I know your works, your love and faith and and your patient endurance, and that your later works are greater than your first. 20 But I have this against you, that you are tolerating the woman Jezebel (an Old Testament violent worshiper of the Baal of ancient Zidon). She calls herself a prophetess and is seducing and teaching my servants to practice sexual immorality and to eat food sacrificed to idols. (This isn?t the leftover meat the poor bought in the marketplace, but is a joining in the decadent feasts of ?the gods?.) 21 I gave her time to repent and turn, but she refuses. 22 Behold, will be a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of her deeds, 23 and the children (and, or fruit?) of her struck dead/abolished [abolished by death]. And all the ecclesia will know that I am he who searches minds and hearts, and I will give to each of you according to your own works. 24 But to the rest of you in Thyatira, who do not hold to this teaching, who have not learned the deep things of Satan, as they say, to you I do not lay upon you any other burden, 25 except to hold fast [krate? - be strong, prevail, hold fast] what you have until I come. 26 The one who overcomes [nika? - conquers, prevails, subdues] (the lower self) and keeps my works to the end, to them I will give authority over the nations, 27 and they will rule with a (measuring) rod of iron (unbreakable Truth) as when earthen pots are shattered in pieces, even as I myself have received from my Father. (Truth will totally shatter untruth.) 28 And I will give to them the morning star. 29 Whoever has an ear, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches [ekklēs?a -from ek - out from and to, and kal?ō - to call ? (to) the called out].?

I always keep an open mind Marie and it's great to see people always seeking such as yourself.
It's just the whole: babylon (babble) thing for me... The waters are so dirtied now that it's hard to know what to believe (with regards to all the goings-ons with the 'world').
But with God - we can rest on the Rock of reality/normality and not man's (so-called):- 'new normal', or his 6uild 6ack 6etter rubbish that comes to nothing.

Prime example!...
I looked up:-
'Does cottage cheese contain lactose' the other day. 
The first website said yes; it contains lots. 
The second website said it contains none. 
The third said it does contain a little, the fourth said it did not contain any - and on and on it went, and I still have no idea whether cottage cheese contains lactose or not! 
If ('experts' (apparently)) can't decide on that; God only knows what is going on with complex matters such as rna/dna etc.   :laugh:

I know a few people around me have feared that the 'injections' (and other things) might somehow alter people from human into something else. - Yet all souls are Gods' ultimately and only the material can be altered 'BY' the material.

'The abomination which creates desolation'... There is a massive rise in cancers and other illnesses and 'sudden deaths' (I hear)...  But I'm not really seeing it on a personal level, -only online videos of people keeling over that could be 30 years old for all I know.

I'm glad we have The Rock to lean upon through these crazy times.

"For You have been a stronghold for the poor, A stronghold for the needy in his distress, A refuge from storm, a shadow from heat, When the spirit of the terrible is as a storm -- a wall".

I personally heed every one of the warnings which Christs relates to the ecclessias...  Just as Jesus was sent to the lost sheep of Israel; yet sensible outsiders wait for any scraps all the same.

    :thumbsup: Amen!! Same here! And I agree the waters have been very muddied when it comes to prophecy, aNd salvation. :faint: I think we need to start over, wipe the slate clean. And as in Daniel.. understanding has been sealed/hidden/locked behind veils. After I post the next in Rev. I will post about the keys I think are needed.

1 - And to the angel of the church in Sardis write - These things says the one who has the seven spirits of God and the seven stars - ?I know your works. You are known for being alive, but you?re dead.? (Outwardly look okay, but..) 2 Wake up! Strengthen what remains and is about to fall off, for I have not found your works to be complete in the sight of my God.? (You are missing the target! Wake up!) 3 ?Remember, then, what you received and heard. Keep it, and repent [metanoe? - turn, change after (being with)]. If you don?t wake up, I?ll come like a thief, and, you won?t know at what hour. 4 Yet you have still a few among you, who have not soiled their garments.? (No radiance if not following the way of it!) ?And they will walk with me in white, for they are worthy.? (The way is the way of grace, God?s energizing and peaceful POWER. Our part is threefold: to believe, present our self to him ?as a living sacrifice? and ?rest in him?. And this is summed up as ?love God?. Genuinely and heartfelt.) 5 ?The one who conquers [nik?ō - from n?kē - victory, properly, conquer, overcome, to carry off the victory, come off victorious, the verb implies a battle] will be clothed [periball? - to throw around, put on, from peri - around, and ballo - to throw, cast, toss, pour, be cloaked] in white [leukos - light, bright, radiant] and I will not erase their name out of the book of life. I will confess their name before my Father and before his angels. [Homologe? - confess, speak the same, agree, publicly declare, a Hebraism, I praise, celebrate, from homou - together, and lego - to voice the same conclusion, speak the same thing, be in full agreement, align with, endorse] [their name - onoma -  a name, authority, cause, character, fame, reputation ? ?According to Hebrew notions, a name is inseparable from the person to whom it belongs, i.e. it is something of his essence. Therefore, to God, it is especially sacred" - adapted from Souter.] 6 Whoever has an ear, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.?

[marie glen]

I think bible prophecy is very much veiled (closed, sealed) which I guess is logical, because it days so in Daniel and the scroll - the Rev vision is sealed until the Lamb opens the seals.
   Keys - ?
(1) I think the Lord went from ascension to Rev. chapter 5

(2) The vision is actually told 3 times:
6:1-2 to 11:19
chapter 12 as a stand alone insert, with Mt.23:39 with vs.17
and, 13:1 to 19:11

And then they all meet back up at the 7th trumpet (Apocalypse is all mankind?s doings, even the wrath which is the final fullblown consequences at the fullblown armageddon/gehenna fire). Straying/imperfection is an abyss of potential - Rev.9:3, the angel is metaphor, the smoke is not.

(3) The seals are hugely veiled, skewing the whole vision, by how they are described, as their full effects, first to very last.. thus portraying very late conditions, at the beginning of the vision. Case in point, the 6th seal is followed by 7:1,3 where we still are for now, but when interrupted somehow/in some way, a crises to consolidate power, will be followed by a world treaty/league that will alas be broken in the middle against Israel - LK.19:41,44. The 1,290 days (which is 3.5 hebrew years plus 30 days) later, will then be set up, the final abomination that desolates. I believe this time upon the human temple(s) meant for God?s Spirit/Presence (whatever it is, it desolates). ?And happy the one/those waiting, and come to the day(s) 1,335. (Which is 45 days? With the last ten days escalating to the most critical? (This is the math problem of Daniel 12:11-12.)

(4) And related - rev.13:13 does not pinpoint an individual (yet). But pinpoint(ed) an office.

(5) Rev.20 is told like the crests of waves, not detailing the in between. Whereas Father has left outlines!
Three harvests, barley, wheat and grape. Mt.13:33 as key, and the key word is three -> 1Cor.25:22-24,28 (yes?)
    Then there?s the outline of the ancient holy days - Lev.23, Spring prophesying Jesus? first brief advent, and the Fall his long second one (the pattern aNd names! yes?)
   And of course the ever widening pattern of the week - foLLowed by the ?last great day? the GWT judgment ?day?.. Then all completed, God proclaims ?behold I make aLL new? (translators added the word things to all/pas) - This is the fiery ?regeneration? the greek being again-genesis - a universal ReGenesis, rev.21:1-5 (fiery, 2Pet.3:12-13, which all and everything new, and God all in all, is the death of death and of all its shadow) - ?The lion will eat straw like the ox. The bear will graze with the cow? Is.11:7.

And the 3 mentions of lake of fire are at huGe fiery events. So not a place! But events. 1. Armageddon when the Lord arrives. 2. at the fiery final defeat of the adversary aFter the thousand years/millennium. And 3. at the fiery ReGenesis - called the regeneration - greek word palin/again-genesis, Rev.21:1-5, 2Pet.3:12-13.

The world economic forums' logo has the three sixes also.
As I said it's everywhere and everyone is in the net and web, and most can't see...
We were dictated too during the (insert name of fake virus here) to stay 6 feet apart in groups of 6 for 6 weeks... (I could give bookloads of other such examples)... And everyone went along with it. - Mostly the (so-called) 'churches' surprise, surprise!

Anyway...
...Just as a good person can't do evil; (regardless of consequence) - nor can an evil person do good (even though they know they lose), so what is coming (written) will simply have to be lived through...

... I never thought the end of the age would be so boring when I was younger... But now I know that evil IS boring... It is dead (lifeless). 
Yawn.
'They' are fighting for literally 'nothing'.

  ! I had to of course look up the logo, yep. Wow! I?m happy to know about that. There?s not much if any attempt made to hide their goals.

:Chinscratch: Boring, things go slow motion.. then suddenly something changes? I?ve been waiting a long time for a good, very brief prophecy summary. Then evening before last, there it was! In my frontal lobe. Thing is I think it?s very different(?)

..you have to read it a couple times, I think. It?s basically a math problem.
After a large crises, a treaty of the many that lasts only 7yrs, and is broken in the middle against Israel - Dan.12:11, Lk.19:41,44. ? Then 1,290 days (about 3.5 yrs plus 30 days) later, the final abomination that desolates, this time upon human temples meant for God?s Spirit/Presence? (1Cor.3:16). Happy the one who waits, and comes to the days 1,335 - Dan.12:12. Which is 45 days later? The last ?ten days?escalating to the most critical? Rev.2:10

7 - ?And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: These are the words of the holy one, the true one, who has the key of David. Who opens and no one will shut. Who shuts and no one opens. (So if they open or shut it?s his choice.) 8 I know your works. Behold, I have set before you an open door, which no one is able to shut. I know that you have but little power [d?namis - power, might, strength, ability] and yet you have kept my word and you have not denied my name. 9 Look, I will make those of the assembly of Satan who declare themselves as true but are not, but lie, behold, I will make them come and bow down before you, and they will learn that I have loved you. 10 Because you have kept my word about patient endurance - I will keep [t?re? - watch over, guard] you from the hour of trial/testing that is coming upon the whole world - to try those who dwell upon earth. 11 I come quickly [tachu - quickly, speedily]. Hold fast what you have. So no one may seize your crown. (?Of Life? not metal!) 12 The one who conquers, I will make to be a pillar in the temple of my God. And they shall not go out (of the full, satisfied blessed state) any more. I will write upon them the name of my God, and the name of His city, the new Jerusalem, which comes down from Him out of heaven, and my own new name. (..Like a script..? Written on our heart and mind. Forever. Unless we are extremely dumb:) 13 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.? [To be a pillar! 😮]
     Philadelphia (of Love) - from ph?los - loving friend, and adelph?s - a brother ? properly, brotherly love (true affection for your fellow person).]

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 [arch? - 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.?

1 - After this, and look! A door standing open in heaven! And the first voice, which I (disciple/apostle John) had heard speaking to me like a trumpet, said, ?Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.? 2 And at once I was in the Spirit, and behold, a throne standing in heaven, and upon the throne one was sitting. 3 And he who sat there had the appearance of jasper [a ?clear stone?] and carnelian [a ?fiery red stone?] and around the throne was a rainbow that had the appearance of an emerald. 4 Around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and seated on the thrones were twenty-four elders (white and gray haired?) clothed in white garments, with golden crowns on their heads. 5 From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings and peals of thunder (note: count one of such descriptions) and before the throne were burning seven torches of fire, which are the seven spirits of God, 6 and before the throne there was as it were a sea of glass, like crystal. And around the throne were four living creatures, full of eyes in front and behind. 7 The first living creature was like a lion, the second living creature like an ox, the third had the face of a man, and the fourth living creature was like an eagle in flight. (Character of God? - clear as crystal - that man is being formed into? By the slow motion fiery gehenna that?s life as we presently know it.. the crucible, laver and sieve. Into the ?new?/totally born again nature of inner strength like a lion, able to work (and peacefully graze:) like an ox, being always humane, with high perception/understanding? Ever lofty and flying high? ..Emerald green, real..? Actually quite down to earth..?)

     a BaZinGa !⚡️Act to This Vision?
8 - And the four living creatures, each of them having six wings, are full of eyes, all around and within. And day and night they never cease saying ?Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!? 9 And whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to he who is seated on the throne, 10 the twenty-four elders fall down before him and worship he who lives forever and ever. They cast their crowns before the throne, saying, 11 ?Worthy are you, our LORD and God, to receive glory, honor and power, for you created all things. And by your will they exist and are created.? (In this production, this vision about to be portrayed, at each new progression, there is the reminder that [1] all is well, God is sovereign, and [2] no matter how grievous upon Earth, God is still to be praised, for this unfortunate, ?shadow of death? - fading away life as we presently know it - this unavoidable yet all important contrast, must run its full course. God had two options for creation? One option being a total ant farm? But instead he opted for ToTaL ?herd? immunity? He is - of course - 100% unfettered Genius.) (And as Life, itself, he suffers, lives through, and experiences all things which ever occur. And he created genuinely able to think and reason beings anyway! ..Both ?angelos? and ?antropos? and the rebel anthropos happen to serve as an accelerant. ?..Your father in heaven is perfect? Mt.5:48 ? The end result of all this can only be the very best one possible. ? Before knowing, acknowledging this.. we are not casting our crown before him..? He is grace.. His love and - faithfulness - is steadfast, immoveable. Beginning this weekly reading, I have not really understood this section, so I prayed for his Quiet voice to tell me what it means, for he is ever speaking to us all.)

                      ~  5:1-6 ~
1 - Then I (John) saw in the right hand of he who was seated on the throne a scroll which was written on both sides, and sealed with seven seals. 2 And I saw a mighty angel asking in a loud voice, ?Who is worthy to open the scroll and break open its seals?? 3 And there was no one in heaven or upon earth or even under the earth who was able to open the scroll or to look into it, 4 and I began to openly weep because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or to look into it. 5 But one of the elders said to me, ?Weep no more, look, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered. So HE can open the scroll and break open its seven seals.?
     6 And then between the throne and the four living creatures and among the elders I saw a Lamb standing, looking as if it had been slain. It had seven horns and seven eyes which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth.

     (Jesus first advent ministry began and ended with a ?John? which name means - Yhvh is merciful - Yhvh is gracious - and or - God?s gift.)
     (?As though slain..? In the vision, Jesus went from ascension to Revelation chapter 5?)
