"The Secret of GOD," as revealed by John in the Revelation of Christ, between the chapters, of chapter 11-6, with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.

We are now in "The Most Holy Place-Inner Sanctuary" of chapter 11, verse 15 of Revelation. The little book of the revelation of Christ in humanity. The most profound and bewildering of all GOD'S secrets (Duet. 29:29). But as told to His disciples we are to know the mystery (secrets) of GOD, after we have passed through Galatians 2:20's restoring of our original identity of innocence. Our co-crucifixion in the beloved as His own flesh, our humanity testifies for or against us.

The Most Holy Place the Inner Sanctuary of GOD:

Here is the context:

Hebrews 9:15-22, 23-28 As fully representing humanity, Jesus's death brought an end to the old, and introduced the New Testament. He thus redeemed us from the transgressions recorded under the first Covenant and identified us as heirs; Qualifying us to participate in the full inheritance of all that He obtained on our behalf. (The concept of a mediator, (G3316) mesites, in this analogy, is not a go-between, as if Jesus had to change the Father's mind about us; It was our minds that needed to be persuaded! Jesus did not save us from GOD; He is fully GOD and fully man, and in Him humanity is most completely represented. For we are in a seamless union, as being One with. See Galatians 3:20 with Hebrews 6:16-20.) For a will to take effect the person who made it must be dead. Before the testator dies the will is merely a future promise with no immediate benefit to anyone. Even the first Covenant required a death for its actualization; The blood of the animal sacrifice represented that death. After Moses uttered the details requirements of the Law in the hearing of all the people, he would take the blood of calves and of goats, mixed it with water and, dipping a bunch of hyssop bound with scarlet wool into the blood-basin, sprinkled the blood on the book and upon the people. While performing this cleansing ritual, Moses would solemnly declare, "This is the blood of the covenant which GOD has made binding upon you." The same blood was then sprinkled on the tabernacle, and on all the furniture and ministry utensils. Thus, according to the Law, all purging was by means of blood; Forgiveness was specifically associated with the shedding of blood. (The idea of closure to the particular case was communicated in the death of an innocent victim. The blood symbolized this currency. The word translated forgiveness, or remission is the word aphiemi, is from apo, away from, and hieimi an intensive form of eimi, I am; Thus forgiveness is in essence a restoring to our true 'I-am-ness.' As seen in Genesis 2. The injury, insult, shame, hostility or guilt would no longer define the individual.)

If the methods of the Law were only a shadow prefiguring the heavenly reality, the fulfillment of these examples surely requires a stronger and more efficacious sacrifice. In Christ we have so much more than a type reflected in the tabernacle of holy places set up by human hands. He entered into the heavenly sphere itself, where he personally represents humanity face to face with GOD. Neither was it necessary for Him to ever repeat His sacrifice. The High Priests under the old shadow system stood proxy with substitute animal sacrifices that had to be offered every year. But Jesus did not have to suffer again and again since the [1] fall of the world; The [2] single sacrifice of Himself in the fulfillment of history now reveals how he has brought sin to naught. (The word, [1, G2602 is from G2598 kataballō, to cast down] katabole, means cast down. [2] GOD'S Lamb took away the sins of the world!) The same goes for everyone: a person dies only once, and then faces judgment. Christ died once and faced the judgment of the entire human race! His second appearance [in His resurrection] has nothing to do with sin, but to reveal salvation for all to [1] fully embrace Him. (To fully embrace, [1] apekdechomai, is from apo, away from [that which defined me before] and ek, out of, source; And dechomai, to take into ones hands to accept whole-heartedly, to fully embrace. In His resurrection He appeared as savior of the world! (Mat. 27:51-54) Sin is no longer on the agenda, for the Lamb of GOD has taken away the sins of the world! Jesus Christ fulfilled humanity's destiny with death! [1Cor. 15:3-5, Rom. 4:25, Acts 17:30-31.]) (The Mirror, with editing.)

This ends the notes of Rev. 11. With our next visit the LORD willing we shall pickup chapter 12 and the appearance of a woman. Until then may the LORD increase our understand of Him.
