With our last post we began our deep look into the Wine-press of the "Wrath" of GOD and the Great Supper as found in Revelation 19:15. We shall over the next few posts dig more deeply into this area of discovery. Picking up with comparing Revelation 14:10-20, to do so requires our starting at verse 9 to get into the flow of what is being said.
The Wine-press of the "Wrath"of GOD and the Great Supper:
Revelation 14:9-20, "Then a third Shepherd-Messenger followed and announced with a loud voice that whosoever worships the counterfeit lamb (of religion) and its image and receives its characteristics in their thoughts and deeds, will drink the wine of GOD'S passion, undiluted with water but intensified with spices in his cup - they shall be tested as one tests gold or silver with a [1]touchstone; With fire and brimstone in the immediate presence of the Lamb and of [2]those who have discovered their wholeness mirror in Him - the dross of their deception will be exposed and cleansed! (Note the words tou kekerasmenou akratou - this is a powerful oxymoron, "the mixed unmixed." Look at Psalm 75:8, "For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup, with foaming wine, well mixed; And he will pour a draft from it, and all the wicked of the earth will drain it down to the dregs."
The word, [1, G928 from G931 basanos, (through the notion of going to the bottom); a touch stone] basanizo, (translated as torment) means to test (metals) by the touchstone, which is a black siliceous stone used to test the purity of gold or silver by the color of the streak produced on it by rubbing it with either metal - a piece of fine-grained dark schist or jasper formerly used for testing alloys of gold by observing the color of the mark which they made on it - thus, a standard or criterion by which something is judged or recognized. The blood of Jesus is the currency! 1Peter 1:18-19.
The fiery brimstone - theion - is divine incense, because burning brimstone was regarded as having power to purify, and to word off diseases - the cup He drank on the cross was the touchstone! 'What shall I say? Father remove this cup from Me? NO! For this hour I have come!' The word, [2, G40 from ἅγος hagos (an awful thing) compare G53 hagnos - properly clean, innocent, [H2282] ] hagios, saints, referring to wholeness and harmony of spirit, soul and body - see 1Cor. 1:30 and Rom. 1:7. See the notes on the Lake of Fire that are following.) And I heard a voice from heaven saying, "Write, Blessed are they who from now on see their death in union with the Lamb - the LORD - His death is their death and their wearisome labor follows them into this death bringing closure to their efforts to do what His death alone accomplished!" And I looked, and behold, I saw a white cloud and one who mirror reflected the Son of Man with His head crowned in a golden wreath of victory, seated upon the cloud and in His hand He held a razor sharp pruning-hook. Another Shepherd-Messenger appeard out of the most holy place of the temple and with a loud voice addressed the one seated on the cloud, saying, "Thrust forth your pruning hook, your hour has come - this is your moment to reap the earth's harvest is made readied." (Look at John 4:31-36, "Meanwhile His disciples were urging Him to take some food. But He said, 'I am feasting on food you cannot see!' His disciples were baffled, "Who brought Him anything to eat?" Jesus told them, 'My food is to fulfill the desire of Him who commissioned Me and to leave no detail undone! The bread you labor for requires months from the day you first sow the seed until it ripens in the ear, doesn't it? This is not the food that I am talking about. The fruit of your own toil and (religious) performance will never satisfy permanently; Form now on, look at yourselves and everyone else differently; See them through your Father's eyes and you will know that they too are ripe and ready to discover how fully included they are in My finished work. They are perfectly mirrored in Me! (A harvest is ripe when the seed in the ear matches the seed that was sown! My mission is to reveal and redeem the image and likeness of GOD within humanity!) This harvest reveals how both he who sows and he who reaps participate in the same joy of the life of the ages.') And the one seated on the cloud completed the earth's wheat harvest with a single sweep of his sickle! (The in gathering of the full harvest of both the wheat as well as the wine pictures the New Covenant of His broken body and shed blood.) And another Shepherd-Messenger appeared from the most holy place, the Tabernacle located in the heavenly realm; He too had a sharp pruning-hook-type sickle. Yet another Messenger emerged from the altar of burnt offering this one was in charge of the fire of the altar and cried with a loud voice telling the Messenger with the sharp pruning hook to thrust forth his sickle and gather the vintage since the earth's grapes were already bursting with ripeness! And he swung his sickle and gathered the vintage of the earth and cast it into the wine-press of GOD'S great passion. (The word (G2732, translated as wrath, is from G2380 meaning to sacrifice with passion, not mixed but rather deep purpose) thumos speaks of the passion of Christ as the sacrificed Lamb!) And the wine-press was trodden outside the city, and the blood that flowed out of the wine-press was as deep as a horses' bridle and it flooded a thousand stadia (translates as furlongs). ( See Hebrews 13:12, According to the prophetic pattern, Jesus, as the final sin sacrifice, was slain outside the city walls. The symbolic depth of a horse's bridal and 1000 Greek stadia speaks of the completeness and universality of the world-wide impact of the blood covenant of Jesus. The typical greek Stadion was 600 Greek feet, approx.160 meters.
Isaiah 63:2-3, "Why is Your apparel red and Your garments like one who treads in the wine press? 'I have trodden the wine trough alone.') (The Mirror, with editing.)
With our next visit the LORD willing we shall begin with a look at Colossians 2 before heading to Rev. 16. Now may the LORD of glory show within each of us His presence within us all.

"The Secrets of GOD," as revealed by John in the Revealtion of Christ, chapter 19's hidden insights, part 3a of 4, with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.
As I stated in our close of the last part of our look into the Shepherd-King of the Nations, we are now starting out look into The Wine-press of the "Wrath" of GOD and the Great Supper. Now this one might require a while to get through mainly because of all the false teachings over the years by religious people, who by now we have learned one thing of them if not more, many only regurgitated what they heard others say and repeated it to give credence to the errors of their former leadership.
The Wine-press of the "Wrath" of GOD and the Great Supper:
Revelation 19:15, "And from His mouth proceeds a sharp double sided sword - the words of His utterance cuts to the core (quick, of the dead) of the heart of the Nations and He shall Shepherd them with an iron scepter. And on His own He will tread out the wine-press of the [1]intensity of the passion of the Sovereign GOD of the universe." (The words, tou thumou tes orges tou theo, speak of the intensity of the passion of GOD, with the word (G2372 from G2380 thuō, a verb, compared to G5590 psuchē, to breath) thumos, translated as fierceness in the KJV; passion, and the word often translated as wrath (G3709 from G3713 oregomai) orge, meaning strong desire - as a reaching forth or excitement of the mind, this is from (G3713) oregomai, meaning to stretch one's self out in order to touch or to grasp something. See Hebrews 4:3, "Hear the echo of GOD'S cry though the ages, 'Oh! If only they would enter into My rest.'" (Sadly most translations read, "I have sworn in My wrath that they will never enter into My rest!") (Sadly this is speaking of the unbelieving and rebellious of humanity or as directly towards Israel and those of their heritage.) The word wrath is derived from (G3709) orge, meaning passionate desire, any strong outburst of emotion. The text doesn't say, "they will never enter my rest!" Both the Septuagint and the Hebrew text quoted here are from Psalm 94:11 in the Septuagint, which is Psalm 95:11 in the Hebrew, read, "Oh, that they would enter into My rest!" Greek ei and Hebrew (H518) אִם 'im.)
For the sword of His mouth, Revelation 2:16, "'I urge you to come to your sense immediately! The sword of My mouth will swiftly wage war against this type of conversation.'" ( Cutting to the division of soul and spirit - see Hebrews 4:12, The message GOD spoke to us in Christ, is the most life giving and dynamic influence in us, cutting like a surgeon's scalpel, sharper than a soldier's sword, piercing to the deepest core of human conscience, to the dividing of soul and spirit; Ending the dominance of the sense realm (a wrong mindset) and its neutralizing effect upon the human (mindset over the) spirit. In this way a person's spirit is freed to become the ruling influence again in the thoughts and intentions of their own heart. A close scrutiny of this word detects every possible disease, discerning the body's deepest secrets where joint and bone-marrow meet. [The moment we cease from our own efforts to justify ourselves, by yielding to the integrity of the message that announces the success of the Cross, GOD'S word is triggered into action. (The real secret is that all of humanity has within them, in their DNA the same thing that was present in Jesus' the seed of the incarnation of spirit, all that was required for Him was the settling in of the Holy Spirit,,,ie. also required of us. No per-selection, no funny business of religion. Just out right acceptance in trusting as evidenced in Jesus, Paul, John among others such as illustrated in Simon Peter. This being the established record, of NT witness.) What GOD speaks to us in sonship (the incarnate), radiates His image and likeness is our redeemed innocence, His righteousness. [Heb. 1:1-3] This word powerfully penetrates and impacts our whole being (it having been embedded within us while in our mother's womb by GOD); soul and spirit.) (The Mirror, with editing.)
In our next post, the LORD willing, we shall begin to compare Rev. 14:10-20, until then may the LORD of ALL accomplish within us that which is here revealed, if He hasn't already done so.

"The Secrets of GOD," as revealed by John in the Revealtion of Christ, chapter 19's hidden insights, part 2b of 4, with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.
We are currently looking at The Shepherd-King of the Nations as seen in Revelation 19:15 and the rest of Scripture. We shall be able to conclude this with this post and our next subject of interest also comes from the same passage of chapter 19 and verse 15, it is titled "The Wine-press of the "Wrath of GOD & The Great Supper."
The Shepherd-King of the Nations:
Revelation 19:15-18, "When the seventh Shepherd-Messenger sounded his trumpet, there was a massive crescendo of voices in the heavenly realm, saying, "The kingdom of the cosmos has become the kingdom of our LORD and His Christ, and He will reign as king for all the ages of the ages. At that moment, the twenty four Elders who were seated on their thrones face to face with GOD, fell down prostrate before Him in adoration and exclaimed: "Our hearts are flooded with gratitude and deep affection of Your grace! We salute Your Lordship Oh GOD! You are the Supreme Authority over all things; Your I-am-ness defines time - present, past and future. The [1]due dynamic of Your [2]Royal-reign is forever established! ( The word translated here due, [1] eilepsas is from (G2983) lambano is in the perfect active tense which suggests the continual effect of an action already completed in the past. Meaning that it is carried on within each new generation of man upon the earth. The word, lambano means to take what is one's own, one's due. One of this words roots is (G138 aihreomai, to take with force or violence, to lift up). Then the word esbasileusas is from (G936) basileuo, to reign, is the Aorist active tense which speaks of a completed act. Both these tenses emphasize the preeminence of GOD'S rule. There was never a time where GOD'S royal rule was in question. Though man's imagination as expressed by his many religious forms and systems would exert an influence that says other wise; such as separation from God or at some future date or time. GOD in giving Himself as the scapegoat to be murdered by His own creatures assumes a weakness that does not compromise His authority at all!!! In the genius of His wisdom He defeated the entire system of judgement under the Law of performance, governing the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, with the fallen mindset of "I-am-not." The seeming frailty of the slain Lamb never compromised the authority of the Loin of Judah! 1Cor. 1:25, "It seems so foolish that GOD should die humanity's death on the cross; It seems so weak of GOD to suffer such insult; Yet mankind's wisest schemes and most powerful displays of genius cannot even begin to comprehend or compete with GOD in His weakest moment on the cross.") The culmination of humanity's wrath collides with Your passion Oh GOD - this is the critical moment where judgment is met in death! ( "Jesus said, 'When I am lifted up on the cross, I will draw all judgment to Myself!'" [Mat. 5:17, 9:13; 10:34-35; 11:29; 20:22-23 (Mark 10:38-39; Luke 12:49-51); 28:20; John 6:48, 51; 7:28-29, 33-34; John 8, 9:5, 39; 10:7, 9, 11; 11:25-26; 12:26, 46; 13:13, 19; 14:6, 10-11, 20; 15:1, 5; 17:10-11, 14, 16, 24; 18:37;] John 12:32) This is the anticipated moment and prize of Your bond-friends, the Prophets, the Saints and everyone who were awed by Your Name - both the insignificant and the prominent - this is the destruction of the corrupt virus in the earth!" ( In the symbolic language of the book of Revelation, the judgment of the Dragon, the Beast and the Whore; The counterfeit Trinity, is not a judgment against an entity, but against a corrupt mindset-system. A virus doesn't have a life of its own - it needs a host!
Microbiology Professor, Vincent Racaniello writes, "Life is 'an organismic state characterized by capacity for metabolism, growth, reaction to stimuli, and reproduction.' Viruses are not living things. Viruses are complicated assemblies of molecules, including proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, and carbohydrates, but on their own thet can do nothing until they enter a living cell. Without cells, viruses would not be able to multiply. Therefore, viruses are not living things." See the notes on Armageddon at the end of chapter 16.) (The Mirror, with editing.)
Our next visit begins our look into the Wine-press of the "Wrath" of GOD and the Great Supper.
Until then may the LORD bless both you and yours by His light and life.

"The Secrets of GOD," as revealed by John in the Revealtion of Christ, chapter 19's hidden insights, part 2a of 4, with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.
We are now beginning our look into the "Shepherd-King of the Nations" as our subject mater. This comes from Revelation 19:15.
The Shepherd-King of the Nations!
Revelation 19:15, "And from His mouth proceeds a sharp double edged sword - the words of His utterance cuts to the core of the heart of the Nations and He shall shepherd them with an iron scepter. And on His own He will tread out the wine-press of the intensity of the passion of the Sovereign GOD of the universe." (See the notes at the end of Rev. 2 with reference to Psalm 2:7-8 on the Rod of Iron.)
Revelation 2:27, "You will [1]shepherd the nations with a royal scepter and shatter [2]their 'alienated mindsets' like a potter's vessel of clay." (John quotes Psalm 2:9, 'You shall break them with a rod of iron, and dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.' Sadly the Hebrew Masoretic Text uses the word, [the use of a prefix or suffix in Hebrew and Greek changes a words meaning in usage] (H7489) רָעַע RAA - to be bad, be evil, to be displeasing, to be injurious, to be wicked, to do injury or hurt, to be mischief; Instead of the same sounding word, (H7462) רָעָה RA'AH with a Hay at the end and not an Ayin, which means to Shepherd! Also in the Septuageint, the Greek word (G4166) ποιμήν poimēn is used! You shall feed them as a shepherd nurtures his flock. With reference to the [2] alienated mindset that rules the nations, see Numbers 24:17, "A scepter shall rise out of Israel; It (He) shall crush the forehead of Moab (an incestuous son, rebellious, unbelieving, one of a wrong mindset)!" The Shepherd's staff was never intended to beat up the sheep but to protect and free them from any possible threat!)
Revelation 11:15-18, "When the seventh Shepherd-Messenger sounded his trumpet, there was a massive crescendo of voices in the heavenly realm, saying, "The kingdom of the [1]cosmos has become the kingdom of our LORD and His Christ, and He will reign as king for all the ages of the ages." ( Remember Rev. 10:7, "In the days when the sounding of the seventh Messenger's trumpet commences, the mystery of GOD will be fully realized in exact accordance to the Good News He announced to His servant the Prophets." Already in Rev. 7 we saw the eventual outcome of what is portrayed here in Rev. 11,,,etc.) Rev. 7:9-10, At his moment I saw a massive throng of people, impossible to count, standing tall and innocent everyone of them dressed in white with palm branches in their hands; They have escaped everything that could possibly define them as a non-Jewish Gentile world! In fact, every sphere of society were there - including the entire spectrum of people-groupings; Tribal identities with their unique language-specific dialect preferences; They were all present there facing the Throne and the Lamb as the people of the planet! (Amazing how, in the previous verses the tribes of Israel are associated with a very specific "number" when it comes to the prophetic details of the entire Jewish nation as a prophetic voice of GOD'S intention in Abraham to release the blessing of a single SEED of GOD'S Faith and bless all the nations of the earth! Count the stars, count the sand!!!") The preposition ek, points to the source or origin; humanity was delivered out of their national, geographical and historical identities! The palm branches and white robes are signs of the celebration of victory and joy. The word stolay, is the white outer garment worn by kings, priests, and persons of rank.
I looked again. I saw a huge crowd, too huge to count. Everyone was there --- all nations and tribes, all races and languages. And they were standing, dressed in white robes and waving palm branches, standing before the Throne of the Lamb.)..Then I heard the masses shouting as if with one thundering voice saying, "Our salvation is secured by GOD who is seated upon the Throne and endorsed in the Lamb's doings!" The word, [1, G2889 probably from the base of G2865 kolumbaō, from a primary word κολυμβος kolumbos (to tend, that is, take care of); to provide for] kosmos, in the NT it refers to the entire human race as a family unit with their social structures.) (The Mirror, with editing.)
In an effort to keep things short so that we don't loose anyone's interest I will cut this short and the LORD willing, will complete this in our next visit. Until then may the LORD of wonders and light help us all in our daily struggles to keep His faith.

"The Secrets of GOD," as revealed by John in the Revealtion of Christ, chapter 19's hidden insights, part 1d of 4, with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.
Finishing up our look into "the Hidden Name," that has kept many in darkness over the years of our co-death on through our co-ascension, to the place of our spiritual origin and the eternal connection with our Father, Son and Holy Spirit as One being, in not one but three persons (Elohim).
The Hidden Name:
Revelation 19:16, "And a Name is written on His robe and thigh, King of kings and LORD of lords!" ( According to Vincent, The writing across the breast from shoulder to shoulder reminds of the cross where the Lamb's victory was secured. The historian, Herodotus [440BC] describes a figure of a Pharaoh, Sesostris, bearing across of Egypt: "With my own shoulders I conquered this land" (ii., 106)
Revelation 3:11-12, "Do not let tough times make Me seem distant from you! I am at hand-see My nearness, not My absence. And don't let temporal setbacks diminish your own authority either! Remember that you call the shots; You wear the crown. My crown endorses your crown. [Rev. 1:5] And I will engrave upon the individual the name of My GOD, also the name of the city [the bride!] of My GOD, the new Jerusalem that descends from heaven; As well as My own new Name!" [My Father's Name John 5:43, I have come in My Father's Name! John 12:28, Father, glorify Your Name! Abba Father!]
Philippians 2:8-11, "And so we have the drama of the cross in context: the man Jesus Christ who is fully GOD, became fully man (humanity) to the extent of willingly dying humanity's death at the hands of His own creation. He embraced the curse (Gen. 3:16-19, Deuteronomy 13:17, 21:22-23) and shame of the lowest kind in dying (our) criminal death. ( Thus, through the narrow doorway of humanity's death, He descended into our hellish darkness. Rev. 9:1 and Eph. 4:8-10.) From this place of utter humiliation, GOD exalted Him to the highest rank. GOD graced Jesus with a Name that is far above every other name (or title bestowed by man or man's religion). What His name unveils will persuade every creature of their redemption! Every knee in heaven and upon the earth and under the earth will bow in spontaneous worship! ( See Isaiah 45:23, 'My own life is the guarantee of My conviction,' says the LORD, 'every knee shall freely bow to Me in worship, and every tongue shall spontaneously speak from the same GOD-inspired source!') Also every tongue will voice and resonate the same devotion to His unquestionable Lordship as the Redeemer of Life! Jesus Christ has glorified GOD as Father of creation! This is the ultimate conclusion of the Father's [1]intent!" (The word, [1, (G1391 from the base of G1380 dokeō, truthfully or with certainty) doxa, means intent, opinion, and is often translated, glory. Rev. 5:13, And I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the seas, and all therein, saying, "To Him who sits on the Throne and to the Lamb be blessings and honors and glory and might for ever and ever!" Also Romans 14:11, Paul, here quoted Isaiah 45:20-23, 'Face Me and be saved all the ends of the earth! [note, 'Be saved!' Not 'become saved!'] I am GOD; your idols are figments of your invention and imagination! 'I have sworn by Myself; the word of My mouth has begotten righteousness; this cannot be reversed! (The Hebrew word, (H3318) יָצָא Yatsa can be translated, begotten, like in Judges 8:30) Every knee shall bow to Me and every tongue shall echo My oath!' (Thus, 'speak with the same certainty sourced in Me!' The Hebrew mind, by repeating a declaration seven times one brings an end to all dispute! See Heb. 6:13, 16-17.) (The Mirror, with editing.)
This ends our look into the Hidden Name of Revelation 19. Our next topic is "The Shepherd-King of the Nations," part 2.
We are witnesses to religion's resistance to the revelation of Christ, because of all the felonious teachings of man's imagination in his religious attempt to halt the Gospel of their own Redemption that leads to Salvation at their own passing. With that said may our LORD increase our understanding and knowledge of Him that is True.

"The Secrets of GOD," as revealed by John in the Revealtion of Christ, chapter 19's hidden insights, part 1c of 4, with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.
We are now into our third look into the Hidden Name of the LORD Jesus Christ as John spoke of it.
The Hidden Name:
Ephesians 3:15-23, "Every family in heaven and on earth originates in Him; His is humanity's family name and He remains the authentic identity of every Nation. Do you want to measure the mind and muscle of GOD! Consider the force which He unleashed in Jesus Christ when He raised Him from the dead and forever seated Him enthroned as His executive authority in the realm of the heavens. He was raised up from the deepest dungeons of human despair to the highest region of heavenly bliss! [See Eph. 2:5-6, 4:8-9] Infinitely above all the combined forces of rule, authority, dominion or governments; He is ranked superior to any name that could ever be given to anyone of the age or any age still to come in the eternal future. I want you to see this: He subjected all these powers under His feet. He towers head and shoulders above everything. He is the Head; the Ekklesia is His Body. The completeness of His being that fills all in All resides in us! GOD cannot make Himself more visible or exhibit Himself more accurately." (The word, Ekklesia, comes from ek, a preposition always denoting origin, and klesia is from kaleo, to identify by name, to surname; Thus, the "church" is His redeemed image and likeness in human form. And is made up of those who awaken to their true rhema identity in Him.)
The salvation that He works is of a greater source of frustration and embarrassment to the religious systems of this world. What the Name of Jesus represents puts religion out of business!
Revelation 19:13, "The robes He wore were dipped in blood and His Name has always been, the Word of GOD!" ( He is the Logos that was before time was; The completeness of prophecy, the Incarnate One! Incarnated within all receptive ones of humanity the rhema ones of GOD'S doing as with Simon.
His blood stained garments have always borne His Name in the prophetic conversation of GOD. Psalm 22:16-18.....'they have pierced My hands and feet---I can count all My bones---they stare and gloat over Me; They divide My garments among themselves, and for My raiment they cast lots.' The word, kekletai is from kaleo, to surname, is in the perfect Passive tense which denotes an action which was completed in the past, but the effects of which are regarded as continuing into the present without interruption or end. (Implying newness within each new generation of humanity.) Nothing that happens in time could possibly intercept this act of GOD'S Redemptive genius within humanity.
Look with me at Isaiah 63:1-4, "Who is this that comes from Edom, in crimsoned garments from Bozrah, He that is glorious in His apparel, marching in the greatness of His strength? 'It is I, announcing vindication, mighty to Save' Why is Your apparel red, and your garments like His that treads in the wine press? 'I have trodden the wine press alone, and from the peoples no one was with Me; I trod them in My face [anger] and trampled them in My passion; Their lifeblood is sprinkled upon My garments, and I have stained all My raiment. (In My face [H639 from H599] aph אַף - Brown-Driver-Briggs Hebrew dictionary [BDB] Defines: nostril, nose, face. The word [H2534 from H3179] chema חֵמָא - BDB Definition, heat; from [H3179] yâcham יָחַם - BDB Definition: to be hot, conceive.) For the year of My redeemed has come. ([H1350] gâ'al, BDB Definition: o redeem, act as kinsman-redeemer, avenge, revenge, ransom, do the part of a kinsman; By marring brother's widow to beget a child for him, to redeem from slavery, to redeem land. In Leviticus 25 the word "redeem" is used over a dozen times in connection with the Jubilee year. The Jubilee was a special year-long Sabbath that occured once every forty-nine years. Prophetically points to the Sabbath substance in the "terelestai" finished work of Jesus on the cross!) (The Mirror, with editing.)
We may well close this note on our next visit, the LORD willing. Now may the LORD of Glory arise a new within those who have awakened to His rhema presents within them. Now look at Romans 10:8-9 where fine this in the ESV: "But what does it say? "The word (G4487) is near you, in your mouth and in your heart" (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim); Because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is LORD and believe in your heart that GOD raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." (from the Strong's Greek translation dictionary: G4487 rhēma ῥῆμα, an internal utterance, is from G4483 rheō ῥέω, of certain tenses of which a prolonged form (ἐρέω ereō) is used; and both as alternate for G2036; perhaps akin (or identical) with G4482 (through the idea of pouring forth); to utter, flowing from within us as promised by Jesus, in John 3:5, 4:10, 13-14, 7:38; Proverbs 10:11 & 18:4. Of Simon in Matthew 16.)
The Hidden Name:
Ephesians 3:15-23, "Every family in heaven and on earth originates in Him; His is humanity's family name and He remains the authentic identity of every Nation.

"The Secrets of GOD," as revealed by John in the Revealtion of Christ, chapter 19's hidden insights, part 1b of 4, with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.
We are currently in the second part titled as "The Hidden Name." Of which not many religious theologians have mentioned as like we have stressed religion is the great hoax ever applied on mankind. As we have seen in our study on Revelation this has stood out far above all other topics of interest.
The Hidden Name:
Matthew 1:18-23, "Now the birth of Jesus Christ was this way, Mary was betrothed to Joseph, yet before they came together, she was found to be with child by the Holy Spirit. But Joseph, her husband to be, being just, and not willing to make her a public example, he purposed to put her away secretly. And as he thought upon these things, behold, the Shepherd-Messenger of the LORD appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take to you Mary as your wife. For that in her is fathered of the Holy Spirit. And she shall bear a son, and you shall call his name JESUS: for He shall save His people from (themselves) their sins." Now all this happened so that it might be fulfilled that which was spoken of the LORD by the Prophets, saying, :Behold, the virgin shall conceive in her womb, and will bear a son. And they will call His Name Emmanuel," which being interpreted is, GOD with us." (Iesous, is the Greek translation of the Hebrew word, Yeshua, meaning Yah[weh] is the Savior!)
See Jeremiah 23:4-6, Revelation 2:17, "'I will put shepherds over them. Those shepherds will take care of them. My sheep will no longer be afraid or terrified, and not one of them will be missing,' declares Yahweh. 'Behold, the days come,' declared Yahweh, 'That I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute the verdict of righteousness in the earth. In His day Judah shall be saved, and Israel (all humanity; El, He will rule as GOD) shall dwell safely: and this is the Name that He will be given: Jaweh (Yehweh, or Yehovah, H3068 from H1961), Our Righteousness.'" [ 'In His days Judah will be saved, [yasha', Ya[weh is Savior] (H6664 tsedeq, from H6663 tsâdaq, righteous, from which we get G1342 dikaios, innocence). And Israel will dwell securely. And this is his Name by which He will be called (Yahwah) Jaweh our righteousness.' The One with eyes ablaze as in Rev. 1:14, 2:17-18 and 3:12...And I will engrave upon them the name of My GOD, also the name of the city [the bride!] of GOD, the new Jerusalem that desends from heaven; As well as My new Name!'
Revelation 2:17, "Your victory is secured in your hearing the word of the Spirit addressed to the Ekklesia - feast on the revelation of the hidden manna in the Ark [Which prophetically points to Messiah - the mystery that was hidden for ages and generations is Christ in you!] I also give you a little white pebble used in the courts of justice, signifying your acquittal - take it as your secret source of strength in the midst of accusations - it has your new name on it! No one knows you by this name, until you [1]realize your own identity reflected in it! ( This beautifully reminds of Simon's encounter in Matthew 16 - 'Blessed are you Simon, son of Jonah for flesh and blood has not known that the son of man is indeed the son of GOD! Now! That you know who I am, allow Me to introduce you to you! Your real name, as a son of GOD, is Petros - little stone - son of the greater Petra [the Rock] - yes! You're a chip of the old block! See the notes at the end of this chapter on The Son of Man is the Son of GOD!' Also the notes on John 1:12 - Our grasping [lambano] is simply the awakening to the fact that our genesis is already completed in the Logos. [see John 1:3] The Logos is the name source; everything commences in Him. He remains the exclusive Parent reference to our Genesis. There is nothing original, except the Word. We are His offspring. [see Acts 17:28]. "He has come to give us understanding to know Him who is true and to realize that we are in Him who is true." [1John 5:20]
The royal diadem on His head and the Name written upon Him, are in such contrast to Rev. 13:1, "As I stood upon the sand of the sea shore I saw a ferocious Beast emerging out of the waters. it has ten horns and seven heads and every horn was wrapped in royal diadems. And written upon its heads were slanderous, blasphemous names." (Have you ever wondered why the name Jesus, not Buddah, Mohammed or Elvis Presely or any other influential name in history or modern times, is the name that is most commonly used as a swear word?) (The Mirror, with editing.)
We shall continue with this in our next visit the LORD willing. Until then may He reveal within us His power to heal and our ailments by they physical or mental.

"The Secrets of GOD," as revealed by John in the Revealtion of Christ, chapter 19's hidden insights, part 1a of 4, with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.
I stated in the last post how John mirrored much of what Paul did when he opened up the mysteries/secret things of GOD as revealed to those who are in Christ and have the essence, sentence of Christ within them. They having seen the risen and ascended LORD of ALL. They know what many only wish that they would. For those who do, do so, because within them resides the incarnate LORD Christ. They are the fruit of His Name the Vine. Who also have a renewed mindset to see as it has always been One God in the trinity of One person Elohim our true and abiding Father the source of our own origin by His design. That part of us that received Redemption, His image and likeness, His divine righteousness our innocence.
The Hidden Name:
Revelation 19:11-12, "Then, in my vision, heaven opened and I saw a white horse appear and the Name of the one seated upon this horse is Faithful and True. Righteousness spans the range of His judgment and warfare. And His eyes were like flashing flames of fire. His head was adorned with many royal diadems. He has a Name written upon Him which He alone understands, no one recognizes him by that Name." (The Jews knew GOD as the "unpronounceable Name," and therefore called Him, HaShem - The Name! See commentary on Rev. 1:4, ....He who is I am; He always was and will continually be the accompanying one.... This phraseology is purely Jewish, and taken from the Tetragrammaton. The Four Letters referring to the unpronounceable Name of GOD - YHVH - Jaweh "Existing" includes in itself all time, past present, and future. Hidden in this word are three words, hajah, was, havah, is, and jahjah, shall be. They could not connect this most sacred Name to the Messiah-Christ, JESUS, born in Bethlehem, condemned and crucified by them!")
John 1:11, "It was not as though He arrived on a foreign planet; He came to His own, yet His own did not recognized Him." ( The Jews should have been the first to recognize Him!)
Isaiah 7:14, "Therefore the LORD Himself will give you a sign. Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call His Name Immanuel." (Strong's Dictionary of Hebrew words shows this, H6005, ‛immânû'êl, [from H5973 ‛im, (from H6004 ‛âmam, a primitive root; to associate;) adverb or preposition, with (that is, in conjunction with), in varied applications; specifically equally with] and [from H410 'êl, (a shortened from H352 'ayil, a chief); strength; as adjective mighty; especially the Almighty] with suffix pronoun inserted; with us (is) God.)
John 1:45-48, "Phillip immediately went looking for Nathaniel and told him the news! We have found the one Moses wrote about in the Torah and He whom the Prophets announced when they spoke about Jesus, [the Savior] the son of Joseph from Nazareth. ( See Deuteronomy 18:15, 18 "The LORD your GOD will raise up for you a Prophet like me from among you, from your brethern - Him you shall heed....'I will raise up for them a Prophet like you from among their brethern; And I will put My words in His mouth, and He shall speak to them all that I command Him.'" Genesis 49:10, "The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor the ruler's staff from between His feet, until He come to whom it belongs; And to Him shall be the obedience of the peoples." Isaiah 7:14, "Therefore the LORD Himself will give you a sign. Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and you shall call His Name Immanuel. Also Isaiah 53:1-12, 9:6-7, "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder: and His Name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty GOD, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and peace there shall be no end, upon the Throne of David, and upon His kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this." Daniel 9:24-27, Jeremiah 23:5-6. Also John 5:39-40, "'You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; And it is they that bear witness of Me; Yet you refuse to come to Me that you may have life.'" John 5:46-47, "'If you believed Moses, you would believe Me, for he wrote of Me. But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?'") To which Nathaniel answered, "How does Nazareth fit into the picture of GOD'S promised goodness?" Phillip said to him, "Come and see for yourself!" (The "what good thing?" of Nathaniel refers to Scriptures like Jeremiah 33:14-15, "'Behold, the days come,' says the LORD, 'that I will perform that good thing which I have promised. In those days and at that time I will cause a righteous Branch to spring forth form David; And He shall execute justice and righteousness in the land.'" Also Micah 5:2, "'But you, Oh Bethlehem Ephrathah, who are the least among the clans of Judah, from you shall come forth for Me one who is to be ruler in Israel, whose origin is from of old, from ancient days.'" Nathanael's question seems to imply, that not Nazareth, but Bethlehem, was to be the birth-place of the Messiah.) When Jesus saw Nathaniel approach Him, He made the following observation, 'Now here is a man of Israel, in whom there is no guile!' (Note the wisdom of Jesus, instead of engaging Nathaniel in a doctrinal debate around the Scriptures, he endorsed him!) Nathaniel was surprised! "How can you possibly know me if we have never met?" Jesus answered him, 'Long before Phillip spoke to you, I saw you under the fig tree!'" (The Mirror, with editing.)
With our next visit we shall the LORD willing continue this deep search. Now, may our LORD increase our understanding of Him.
The Hidden Name:
Revelation 19:11-12, "Then, in my vision, heaven opened and I saw a white horse appear and the Name of the one seated upon this horse is Faithful and True. Righteousness spans the range of His judgment and warfare. And His eyes were like flashing flames of fire. His head was adorned with many royal diadems. He has a Name written upon Him which He alone understands, no one recognizes him by that Name." (The Jews knew GOD as the "unpronounceable Name," and therefore called Him, HaShem - The Name! See commentary on Rev. 1:4, ....He who is I am; He always was and will continually be the accompanying one.... This phraseology is purely Jewish, and taken from the Tetragrammaton. The Four Letters referring to the unpronounceable Name of GOD - YHVH - Jaweh "Existing" includes in itself all time, past present, and future. Hidden in this word are three words, hajah, was, havah, is, and jahjah, shall be. They could not connect this most sacred Name to the Messiah-Christ, JESUS, born in Bethlehem, condemned and crucified by them!")
John 1:11, "It was not as though He arrived on a foreign planet; He came to His own, yet His own did not recognized Him." ( The Jews should have been the first to recognize Him!)
Isaiah 7:14, "Therefore the LORD Himself will give you a sign. Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call His Name Immanuel." (Strong's Dictionary of Hebrew words shows this, H6005, ‛immânû'êl, [from H5973 ‛im, (from H6004 ‛âmam, a primitive root; to associate;) adverb or preposition, with (that is, in conjunction with), in varied applications; specifically equally with] and [from H410 'êl, (a shortened from H352 'ayil, a chief); strength; as adjective mighty; especially the Almighty] with suffix pronoun inserted; with us (is) God.)
John 1:45-48, "Phillip immediately went looking for Nathaniel and told him the news! We have found the one Moses wrote about in the Torah and He whom the Prophets announced when they spoke about Jesus, [the Savior] the son of Joseph from Nazareth. ( See Deuteronomy 18:15, 18 "The LORD your GOD will raise up for you a Prophet like me from among you, from your brethern - Him you shall heed....'I will raise up for them a Prophet like you from among their brethern; And I will put My words in His mouth, and He shall speak to them all that I command Him.'" Genesis 49:10, "The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor the ruler's staff from between His feet, until He come to whom it belongs; And to Him shall be the obedience of the peoples." Isaiah 7:14, "Therefore the LORD Himself will give you a sign. Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and you shall call His Name Immanuel. Also Isaiah 53:1-12, 9:6-7, "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder: and His Name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty GOD, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and peace there shall be no end, upon the Throne of David, and upon His kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this." Daniel 9:24-27, Jeremiah 23:5-6. Also John 5:39-40, "'You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; And it is they that bear witness of Me; Yet you refuse to come to Me that you may have life.'" John 5:46-47, "'If you believed Moses, you would believe Me, for he wrote of Me. But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?'") To which Nathaniel answered, "How does Nazareth fit into the picture of GOD'S promised goodness?" Phillip said to him, "Come and see for yourself!"

"The Secrets of GOD," as revealed by John in the Revealtion of Christ, chapter 19:19, with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.
We shall finish our look at "the Righteous Judge or the Rider on a White Horse." But then we shall within the notes of the chapter's discoveries look into them with more intent and purpose than many of the past have done! Why? Because of our redeemed restored mindset of the heavenly kind, no longer the earthbound. There is a bunch of old twice dead stale air of religious imagination of the wrong mindset gathered from all the lack of knowledge of the LORD GOD is why. Which requires a hurricane force and size of clear clean breath of air to clear away the deadness of false teachings as we have seen over our short life span of 73 years. This will reveal the flesh as our food or bread and the blood as our true drink that is the meat of the Vine of which we are the fruit thereof.
"The Righteous Judge or The Rider on a White Horse."
Revelation 19:19-21 "And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh." (KJV)
Revelation 19:19-21 "And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth with their armies gathered to make war against him who was sitting on the horse and against his army. And the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who in its presence had done the signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped its image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur. And the rest were slain by the sword that came from the mouth of him who was sitting on the horse, and all the birds were gorged with their flesh." (ESV)
Revelation 19:19-21 "And I saw the beast in alliance with the kings of the earth muster their armies to engage in a [1]once-for-al war against the One seated on the horse and His army! (The idea of a once-for-all war is implied by the Aorist Infinitive tense of the verb (G4160 translated as make [make war]), poiesai. [Weymouth] This is the Aorist active Infinitive which indicates prior completion of an action in relationship to a point in time. Greek infinitives could have either a present or Aorist form. The contrast between the two forms is not necessarily one of time, it is a difference of aspects. The Present Infinitive was used to express progressive or imperfection aspect. It pictures the action expressed by the verb as being in progress. The Aorist Infinitive however, does not express progressive aspect. It presents the action expressed by the verb as a completed unit with a beginning and an end.
This is an important fact since there are numerous references to the same "once and for all war" in the heavens! It is however the same hour; The same event! Rev. 13:7, 16:13-14, 17:13-14 and 20:8.) And the beast and the miracle working Puppet Partner, the False Prophet were arrested and cast into the Lake ablaze with Sulphur. These two were the ones who were empowered by the Dragon to amaze and deceive those who were tattooed in their heads and hands with the character of the Beast and make them pay religious homage to its image. (The word (G2303, translated brimstone), theion , Sulphur, is from (G2304 from G2316 theos, meaning a deity) theios , godlike (neuter as a noun, divinity): - divine, godhead. Sulphur is a yellow inflammable mineral substance found in quantities on the shores of the Dead Sea. This was also known as divine incense, because burning brimstone was regarded as having power to purify, and to word off disease. Its medical values are well known even today.
Rev. 14:8-20, In the imagery here, John is much like Paul as they both see how the triune religious counterfeit system, the Dragon, the Beast and the False Prophet are thoroughly stripped of their influence and dominion and brought to naught. Paul by his opening up the mysteries/secret things of Christ and John, The False Prophet is mentioned in Rev. 16:13 (KJV) "And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the Dragon, and out of the mouth of the Beast, and out of the mouth of the False Prophet." Here in Rev. 19:20 and also in Rev. 20:10, The Devil, who led them astray will be hurled into the Lake of Fire and Brimstone where his puppet partners, the Beast and False Prophet have already been confined to. Day and Night they will be the subjects of GOD'S touchstone for the ages of the ages - the very atmosphere of the entire universe will be thoroughly fumigated from any evidence of Satanas. (Paul in his epistle of Colossians states almost the same thing in 1:13-14, 20-21, 26, 2:4, 8, 14-15, 18, 20-23, 3:5-10, and in Philippians 2:15, 3:18-19. 1:20-21 (ASV) reads as: "And through Him to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace through the blood of His cross; through Him, I say, whether things upon the earth, or things in the heavens. And you, being in time past alienated and enemies in your mind in your evil works.) (See note on the Touchstone in Rev. 14:10) Rev. 13:11, Then I saw another wild animal; This one emerged out of the earth - it had two horns and resembled a young lamb; Yet it had a Dragon's voice. [The counterfeit "trinity" emerges - the one mirroring the other - 1/ the Dragon-Accuser; 2/ the seven headed sea-monster of religion with its leading role player, the head that was slain but became alive again; 3/ and now, here, the Dragon clothed in a lamb's-disguise; Later called, the False Prophet.] see extended notes on The Lake of Fire at the end of this chapter.) The One seated upon the horse, with the sword that proceeds from His mouth, has slain the allies of the Beast and its puppet False Prophet, the kings and their hosts, while all the fowls of the air feasted on their flesh." (The word (G4105), rhomphaia , means a large, long sword; Used in Luke 2:35, where Simon prophesied over Mary: "and a sword will pierce through your own soul also, then the thought processes, reasoning's and dialogues of many hearts will be uncovered." This word is used 6 times in Revelation, in Rev. 1:16, 2:12, 16, 6:8, 19:15 and here is 19:21.
Look also at Hebrews 4:12, The message GOD spoke to us in Christ, is the most life giving and dynamic influence in us, cutting like a surgeon's scalpel, sharper than a soldier's sword, piercing to the deepest core of human conscience, to the dividing of soul and spirit; Ending the dominance of the sense realm (within which religion works) and its neutralizing effect upon the human spirit. In this way a person's spirit is freed to become the ruling influence again in the thoughts and intentions of their own heart. The scrutiny of this word detects every possible disease, discerning the body's deepest secrets where joint and bone-marrow meet.) (The Mirror, with editing.)
With our next visit the LORD willing, we shall begin an in depth look at: The Hidden Name, The Shepherd-King of the Nations, The Winepress of the Passion of GOD & The Great Supper, and The Lake Ablaze with Sulphur. Until then may our LORD increase His inspiration within each one of us who find this blog.

"The Secrets of GOD," as revealed by John in the Revealtion of Christ, chapter 19:17, with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.
We are still looking into the two areas of my study Bibles, they being titled: The Righteous Judge and the other, The Rider on a White Horse. Both being but one the great Shepherd of His church the man Jesus who is the Spirit of all Prophecy, the Messiah-Christ.
Revelation 19:17-18 "And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, "Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God; That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great." (KJV)
Revelation 19:17-18 "Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, and with a loud voice he called to all the birds that fly directly overhead, "Come, gather for the great supper of God, to eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all men, both free and slave, both small and great." (ESV)
Revelation 19:17-18 "Then I saw another Shepherd-Herald standing in the luminous light of the sun. With a loud voice he invited all the birds of the sky to flock together for the great supper of GOD. (Another symbolic picture reference to the Last [Final] Supper - the Lamb's flesh and blood introduced in/as the New Covenant where every judgment is concluded and the Incarnate Word is Now our feast - His flesh is our bread and becomes our flesh, His blood is our drink indeed and becomes our blood - celebration in every meal we have. His broken body picture our broken body, of the human race - one died for all, therefore all have died! 2Corinthians 5:14.) Come feast on the flesh of all humanity! The flesh of kings and the flesh of the high ranking captains, the flesh of the mighty men, the flesh of the horses and their riders; All flesh, slave and free, both the prominent and the least. ( This reflects on Ezekiel's writing of 39:17-21, As for you, son of man, thus says the LORD GOD: Speak to the birds of every sort and to all beasts of the fields. 'Assemble and come, gather from all sides to the sacrificial feast which I am preparing for you, a great sacrificial feast upon the mountains of Israel, and you shall eat flesh and drink blood.....And you shall be filled at My table with horses and riders, with mighty men and all kinds of warriors,' says the LORD GOD. 'And I will set My glory among the nations; And all the nations shall see My judgment which I have executed, and My hand which I have laid on them.' See the extended note on The great Supper of GOD at the end of this chapter.) (The Mirror, with editing.)
Hope that this don't burst anyone's glass (religious) bobble. Now, May the LORD show us all the truth of all that is revealed of Him.

"The Secrets of GOD," as revealed by John in the Revealtion of Christ, chapter 19:11, with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.
Today's subject area is titled "The Righteous Judge" in one of my Study Bibles and in another "The Rider on a White Horse." Leaving us in a troublesome spot of which one is it? And of course it is both, that is to say, to those of a religious conviction or of and earthy mindset. As we have discovered through our past readings and new discoveries of the divine nature as sons and daughters who live on the flesh of the word (Logos) and drink of the blood or waters that satisfy us. Just as the Lord Jesus stated long ago as GOD'S elect-one.
Revelation 19:11-16 "And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; And he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; And he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS." (KJV)
Revelation 19:11-16 "Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! The one sitting on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war. His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems, and he has a name written that no one knows but himself. He is clothed in a robe dipped in blood, and the name by which he is called is The Word of God. And the armies of heaven, arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, were following him on white horses. From his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron. He will tread the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty. On his robe and on his thigh he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords." (ESV)
Revelation 19:11-16 "Then, in my vision, heaven opened and I saw a white horse appear; The Name of the one seated upon this horse was Faithful and True. Righteousness spans the range of His judgment and warfare. (See the notes on the Open Heaven at the end of chapter 13.) And His eyes were like flashing of flames of fire. His head was adorned with many royal diadems. He has a Name written upon His which He alone understands; No one recognizes Him by that name. ( The Jews knew GOD as the "unpronounceable Name, and therefore called Him, HaShem - The Name! see the comment on Rev. 1:4
They could not connect this most sacred Name to the Messiah-Christ, JESUS, born in Bethlehem, condemned and crucified by them!
John 1:11, "It was not as though He arrived on a foreign planet; He came to His own, yet His own did not recognize Him." (The Jews should have been the first to recognize Him! For many of their Prophets saw Him as He was even in the physical realm, but they simply said an angle had appeared to them.)
Isaiah 7:14, "Therefore the LORD Himself will give you a sign. Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call His name Immanuel. (Emmanuel, meaning GOD among man or GOD in man, or GOD in mans flesh, in human form.)
"....and you shall call His Name Jesus, for He will save His people (not necessarily meaning Israel) from their sins." See Jeremiah 23:6, "In His day Judah will be saved, [H3467, yâsha‛, a primitive root; properly to be open, wide or free, that is, (by implication) to be safe; causatively to free or to succor, defend, deliver (-er), help, preserve, rescue, be safe, bring (having) salvation, Savior ), get victory.] And Israel will dwell securely. And this is His Name by which He will be called: [H3068] יְהֹוָה - Jaweh our righteousness." (see notes at the end of this chapter) The robes He wore were dipped in blood and His [1]Name has always been the "Word of GOD!" (He is the Logos that was before time was; The completeness of prophecy, the Incarnate One! See John 1:1-3, 14. And notes on the Hidden Name at the end of this chapter.) And heaven's armies followed Him, on white horses; They were dressed in the finest, dazzling white linen. And from His mouth proceeds a sharp sword-the words of His utterance cuts to the core of the heart of the nations and He shall Shepherd them with an iron scepter. (Ps. 2) And on His own He will tread out the winepress of the [1]intensity of the passion of the sovereign GOD of the universe. (See the comments in Rev. 2:16 on the imagery of the Sword.
The words, tou thumou tes orges tou theo, speak of the intensity of the passion of GOD, with the word thumos, passion, and the word often translated wrath, orge, meaning strong desire - as a reaching forth or excitement of the mind, from the word, oregomai, meaning to stretch one's self out in order to touch or to grasp something.
See the commentary notes in Rev. 2:26-27, at the end of Revelation chapter 2 with reference to Psalm 2:7-9 on the Rod of Iron. And the notes at the end of this chapter, on The Shepherd-King of the Nations and the wine-press of the passion of GOD.) And a Name is written on His robe and thigh: King of kings and LORD of lords!" ( Psalm 45:3, "Gird Your sword upon Your thigh, Oh, mighty one, in Your glory and majesty!"
Revelation of Rev. 3:11-12, Do not let tough times make Me seem distant from you! I am at hand - see My nearness, not My absence. And don't let temporal setbacks diminish Your own authority either! Remember that You call the shots; You wear the crown. And I will engrave upon the individual the name of My GOD, also the name of the city [the bride!] of My GOD, the new Jerusalem that descends from heaven; As well as My own new Name! My Father's Name, John 5:43, I have come in My Father's Name! John 12:28, Father, glorify Your Name! Abba Father!
Psalm 103:4, He redeems His life from the Pit and weaves a crown for Him out of loving-kindness and tender mercies.

Like in the pass so may it now be Oh GOD! The great Amen! May the LORD increase those who are now awakening to His call, 'to come out from among them.' And may He increase of understanding of Him.
Revelation 19:11-16 "And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; And he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; And he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS." (KJV)
Revelation 19:11-16 "Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! The one sitting on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war. His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems, and he has a name written that no one knows but himself. He is clothed in a robe dipped in blood, and the name by which he is called is The Word of God. And the armies of heaven, arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, were following him on white horses. From his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron. He will tread the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty. On his robe and on his thigh he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords." (ESV)
Revelation 19:11-16 "Then, in my vision, heaven opened and I saw a white horse appear; The Name of the one seated upon this horse was Faithful and True. Righteousness spans the range of His judgment and warfare. (See the notes on the Open Heaven at the end of chapter 13.) And His eyes were like flashing of flames of fire. His head was adorned with many royal diadems. He has a Name written upon His which He alone understands; No one recognizes Him by that name. ( The Jews knew GOD as the "unpronounceable Name, and therefore called Him, HaShem - The Name! see the comment on Rev. 1:4
They could not connect this most sacred Name to the Messiah-Christ, JESUS, born in Bethlehem, condemned and crucified by them!
John 1:11, "It was not as though He arrived on a foreign planet; He came to His own, yet His own did not recognize Him." (The Jews should have been the first to recognize Him! For many of their Prophets saw Him as He was even in the physical realm, but they simply said an angle had appeared to them.)
Isaiah 7:14, "Therefore the LORD Himself will give you a sign. Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call His name Immanuel. (Emmanuel, meaning GOD among man or GOD in man, or GOD in mans flesh, in human form.)
"....and you shall call His Name Jesus, for He will save His people (not necessarily meaning Israel) from their sins." See Jeremiah 23:6, "In His day Judah will be saved, [H3467, yâsha‛, a primitive root; properly to be open, wide or free, that is, (by implication) to be safe; causatively to free or to succor, defend, deliver (-er), help, preserve, rescue, be safe, bring (having) salvation, Savior ), get victory.] And Israel will dwell securely. And this is His Name by which He will be called: [H3068] יְהֹוָה - Jaweh our righteousness." (see notes at the end of this chapter) The robes He wore were dipped in blood and His [1]Name has always been the "Word of GOD!"

"The Secrets of GOD," as revealed by John in the Revealtion of Christ, chapter 19:9, with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.
John, has been given by our Father a ring side seat to the joy in the heavenlies when humanity finally wakes up to their total Redeemed Life of their origin through His efforts in Jesus as the Christ One. A state and condition that only a few seem to be ready to accept, when the masses remain under a cover of darkness and unbelief in what the Bible so clearly reveals to all. All of Humanity has within them the image and likeness of GOD which has been Redeemed by Himself in Jesus, the Emmanuel, and Messiah, as foretold eons ago.
Rejoicing in Heaven
Revelation 19:9-10 "And he saith unto me, "Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb." And he saith unto me, "These are the true sayings of God." And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, "See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy." (KJV)
Revelation 19:9-10 "And the angel said to me, "Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb." And he said to me, "These are the true words of God." Then I fell down at his feet to worship him, but he said to me, "You must not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God." For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy." (ESV)
Revelation 19:9-10 "And he instructed me to record this in writing: "Oh, the [1]blessedness of this bliss which is the supreme celebration of the union of the ages! You have individually been [2]identified by name and invited to the Lamb's supper, concluding in the ultimate wedding feast! This is the Grand Finale in the [3]unveiling of GOD'S word. (This is not a wedding where you are invited simply because you're a friend of a friend of the Groom or the Bride - or a distant second cousin to a relative of a relative on someone's mother's side! NO! You're the Bride!
The word, [1, G3107] makarios, is usually translated, blessed, suggests a special intensity of delight. It is another beatitude (makarioi) like that in Rev. 14:13 [fourth of the seven in the book.]
The verb, [2] kekelemenoi, is a Perfect Passive Participle of (G2564) kaleo, to identify by name, to surname. The Passive Participle describes a state that exists at the time coincident with that of the leading verb as a result of an action completed prior to the time of the main verb,, [in previous verse] edothe is from didomi, was given [v8] which is in the Aorist Passive Indicative. The Perfect Participle endorses the fact that this is a standing invitation! See the extended notes on ekklesia at the end of chapter 1. The word, [3, G228 from G227 from G1 and G2990 ] alethinos , is from (G227) alethes; from the negative particle, (G1) a or ah and (G2990) lanthano, to lie hidden; Thus, that which is unveiled truth.
Just like Babylon is not a city in the symbolic language of Revelation, it is a "fallen," distorted-mindset-society; So the New Jerusalem is not a city but is the Redeemed society of humanity! The Bride of Christ! Rev. 17:18. See extended notes on the City-Bride at end of this chapter.) I was so overwhelmed that I fell down at his feet to worship him; He immediately asked me to see him as a fellow bond-servant and a fellow brother, jointly echoing the testimony of Jesus! "Worship GOD," he said, the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy! This wedding is the entire culmination of the prophetic word!" (The Mirror, with editing)
Much remains a mystery to the worlds religious institutions by design, meaning unpurpose. Because GOD knows full well that any thing given this system becomes corrupted as revealed in chapter 18. Okay, may the LORD increase our knowledge and understanding of Him.

"The Secrets of GOD," as revealed by John in the Revealtion of Christ, chapter 19:1, with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.
We have arrived at the great sound of rejoicing in the heavenlies, let us drop in to see why shall we.
Rejoicing in Heaven
Revelation 19:1-8 "And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, "Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God: For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand." And again they said, "Alleluia. And her smoke rose up for ever and ever." And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, "Amen; Alleluia." And a voice came out of the throne, saying, "Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great."
And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, "Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth. Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white:" for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints." (KJV)
Revelation 19:1-8 "After this I heard what seemed to be the loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, crying out, "Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God, for his judgments are true and just; for he has judged the great prostitute who corrupted the earth with her immorality, and has avenged on her the blood of his servants." Once more they cried out, "Hallelujah! The smoke from her goes up forever and ever." And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who was seated on the throne, saying, "Amen. Hallelujah!" And from the throne came a voice saying, "Praise our God, all you his servants, you who fear him, small and great." Then I heard what seemed to be the voice of a great multitude, like the roar of many waters and like the sound of mighty peals of thunder, crying out, "Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns. Let us rejoice and exult and give him the glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his Bride has made herself ready; It was granted her to clothe herself with fine linen, bright and pure"— for the fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints." (ESV)
Revelation 19:1-8 "With this I heard a great multitude singing as with one voice in the heavens, saying, "Hallelujah! Salvation, glory and power belongs to our GOD!" (The Great Hallel (a title from Psalm 113-118) is sung chiefly at the feats of the Passover and Tabernacles. In this context, John reminds his Israeli audience of triumphant praise as the voice celebrating the great Salvation wrought at the Passover of the Lamb of GOD who has become our permanent Tabernacle and habitation! The days of wandering around in a wilderness, outside of the Promise, are forever over! Also, in leading up to the great wedding feast of the Lamb, this introduction of the praise sung during Passover and the Feast of Tabernacles, are most significant. See the commentary of the City-Bride at the close of this chapter.) For every one of his [1]judgments are established in righteousness and truth. He has sentenced the great Harlot-systems who have caused the world to [2]shrivel up and pine away with the poison of her prostitution and vindicated by the blood (death) His servants out of her hand. The spell of her judgment upon the earth was broken! ([1] John's Jewish audience here are familiar with this fact, and are reminded, that Psalm 89:14, as well as Ps. 97:2 speak of righteousness and truth being the foundation/habitation of His Throne! Rev. 15:3 Righteousness and truth are your trademarks!
The word, [2, G5351 phtheirō, translated as corrupted, strengthened from φθίω phthiō] phteiro, used here means to pine or waste away, to whither. Any idea of separation causes one to whither away in loneliness! Prostitution can never substitute for true marriage! See 2Cor. 11:3, I am concerned for you that you might pine away through the illusion of separation from Christ and that, just like Eve, you night become blurry-eyed and deceived into believing the lie about yourselves. The temptation was to exchange the truth about our completeness (I am) with the idea of incompleteness (I am not) and shame; Thinking that perfection requires your toil and all manner of wearisome labor! ( The word, phteiro, means to pine or waste away, to whither, like old fruit still on the dead vine. Any idea of separation causes one to whither away in loneliness! The word, (G572 of verse 3, is translated simplicity, is from G573, haplous, from G1 (as a particle of union) and the base of G4120 ) haplotes is from (G1) hama, a particle of union, and (G4120) pleko, to braid or plait together; Sometimes translated, simplicity or unmixed. The Greek word, ophis is translated serpent and comes from optomai, to gaze, in this case, to present a visual idea through illusion. The word (G1818 from G1537 and G538) exapatao is from (G1537) ek, meaning source (G538) +apateo, apathy is the source of deception, to be without faith, believing a lie about ourselves! Hebrews 4:6, Israel died in the wilderness because of their unbelief. [Both Adam and Israel believed the same lie about themselves. Num. 13:33, Josh. 2:11, 2Cor. 4:4] The word (G3834 from G3835 panourgos, crafty, from G3956 and G2041) panourgia, translated as subtitly, is from the word, (G3956) pas, all, and (G2041) ergon, to work or toil, where our entire existence is reduced to wearisome laborings. The word is often translated, cunning or craftiness. See also 2Cor. 4:2, "We have renounced hidden agendas [employing a little bit of the law in an attempt to "balance" out grace]; We have distanced ourselves from any obscure craftiness to manipulate GOD'S word to make it mean what it does not say!") Yet again they would say, "Hallelujah! For the smoke of her destruction rises up as a trophy-testimony for all times and ages." And the twenty four Elders and the four living creatures fell on their faces in worship of GOD upon the Throne, saying, "Amen; Hallelujah!" And a voice proceeded from the environment of the Throne saying, "[1]recount the amazing stories of GOD'S praise to all His bond-servants small and great, everyone who is awed by Him!" ( The verb, [1] aineo, is from ainos, meaning story; Thus, tell the story. See Phil 4:8, Study stories that celebrate life - epainos, commendable, praise worthy, from epi, indicating continual influence upon, and ainos, story.) Then I heard the voice of an innumerable mass of people exploding like a thunderous torrent of mighty cascading waterfalls, bellowing, "Hallelujah! The LORD our GOD has claimed His kingdom and established His sovereign rule over everything!" This is the climax of the ages! Celebrate His glory with ecstatic joy and extreme delight, for the wedding feast of the Lamb has come (of full age, fit)! The day didn't catch her by surprise! His bride has prepared herself appropriately! She is ready and fully [1]fit for the occasion! (The word, [1, G2090 from G2092] hetoimasen, is in the Aorist Active Indicative tense pointing to what already exists. This word derives from an old word, (G2092) heteos, fitness. She has gotten herself ready! Verse 8 tells us how she did it! See the extended notes on the City-Bride.) She [1]was given the finest linen to clothe herself; There she stands, wrapped in radiant white - dressed in [2]spotless, saintly innocence. (The verb, edothe is from (G1325) didomi, was given, Aorist Passive Indicative. The word innocence, [2, G1345 from G1344 dikaioō, to render, from G1342 dikaios, equitable, innocent, from G1349 dikē, right from G1166 deiknuō, to show] dikaioma, stems from (G1349) dike, two parties finding likeness in each other (Genesis 1:26-27, 2:6-7). Dike is also the root for the word dikaiosune, righteousness. Sadly, many translations have it completely wrong here! This is not the righteous "deeds" of the Saints! This innocence gives testimony to the merits of the Redeemer. Paul says in Phil. 3:9, "And be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is of GOD by faith." In Zech. 3:4, "And the Shepherd-Messenger said to those who were standing before Him, "Remove the filthy garments (of their ignorance and religion from them, the grave clothe of John 11) him." And to him he said, "Behold, I have taken your iniquity away from you and I will clothe you with (My) righteousness." Aramaic Targum. See notes on the City-Bride at the end of Rev. 3.) (The Mirror, with editing.)
We have been loaded with thought, to take us to the seeking more of Him. Until our next visit may the LORD reveal all to you and yours.

Yet again they would say, "Hallelujah! For the smoke of her destruction rises up as a trophy-testimony for all times and ages." And the twenty four Elders and the four living creatures fell on their faces in worship of GOD upon the Throne, saying, "Amen; Hallelujah!" And a voice proceeded from the environment of the Throne saying, "[1]recount the amazing stories of GOD'S praise to all His bond-servants small and great, everyone who is awed by Him!" ( The verb, [1] aineo, is from ainos, meaning story; Thus, tell the story. See Phil 4:8, Study stories that celebrate life - epainos, commendable, praise worthy, from epi, indicating continual influence upon, and ainos, story.) Then I heard the voice of an innumerable mass of people exploding like a thunderous torrent of mighty cascading waterfalls, bellowing, "Hallelujah! The LORD our GOD has claimed His kingdom and established His sovereign rule over everything!" This is the climax of the ages! Celebrate His glory with ecstatic joy and extreme delight, for the wedding feast of the Lamb has come (of full age, fit)! The day didn't catch her by surprise! His bride has prepared herself appropriately! She is ready and fully [1]fit for the occasion! (The word, [1, G2090 from G2092] hetoimasen, is in the Aorist Active Indicative tense pointing to what already exists. This word derives from an old word, (G2092) heteos, fitness. She has gotten herself ready! Verse 8 tells us how she did it! See the extended notes on the City-Bride.) She [1]was given the finest linen to clothe herself; There she stands, wrapped in radiant white - dressed in [2]spotless, saintly innocence. (The verb, edothe is from (G1325) didomi, was given, Aorist Passive Indicative. The word innocence, [2, G1345 from G1344 dikaioō, to render, from G1342 dikaios, equitable, innocent, from G1349 dikē, right from G1166 deiknuō, to show] dikaioma, stems from (G1349) dike, two parties finding likeness in each other (Genesis 1:26-27, 2:6-7). Dike is also the root for the word dikaiosune, righteousness. Sadly, many translations have it completely wrong here! This is not the righteous "deeds" of the Saints! This innocence gives testimony to the merits of the Redeemer. Paul says in Phil. 3:9, "And be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is of GOD by faith." In Zech. 3:4, "And the Shepherd-Messenger said to those who were standing before Him, "Remove the filthy garments (of their ignorance and religion from them, the grave clothe of John 11) him." And to him he said, "Behold, I have taken your iniquity away from you and I will clothe you with (My) righteousness." Aramaic Targum. See notes on the City-Bride at the end of Rev. 3.) (The Mirror, with editing.)
We have been loaded with thought, to take us to the seeking more of Him. Until our next visit may the LORD reveal all to you and yours.

"The Secrets of GOD," as revealed by John in the Revealtion of Christ, chapter 18:21, with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.
We shall close this chapter that records the "Fall of Babylon."
The Fall of Babylon
Revelation 18:21-24 "And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, "Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all. And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee; And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; And the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived. And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth." (KJV)
Revelation 18:21-24 "Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, "So will Babylon the great city be thrown down with violence, and will be found no more; And the sound of harpists and musicians, of flute players and trumpeters, will be heard in you no more, and a craftsman of any craft will be found in you no more, and the sound of the mill will be heard in you no more, and the light of a lamp will shine in you no more, and the voice of bridegroom and bride will be heard in you no more, for your merchants were the great ones of the earth, and all nations were deceived by your sorcery. And in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all who have been slain on earth." (ESV)
Revelation 18:21-24 "And a huge Shepherd-Messenger lifted a stone like a massive millstone and cast it into the sea, saying, "So shall Babylon the great city be hurled into the ocean and not a single trace of her existence shall ever be found again. (Matthew 18:6, 'But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened round his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.') Never again will the festive sounds of harpists, singers, flutists and trumpeters be heard in you. Not even a trace of any art or creative skills and crafts will remain to remind of days gone by! The familiar grinding sound of the millstone will be silent forever. Not even a hint of a candlelight or any lamp will ever bear testimony to your forgotten night-life again. The voice of the bridegroom and bride will forever be silent in you. Her merchants were the great untouchable tycoons of the world who seduced all the nations with her pharmaceutical potions and spells. The blood of the Prophets and the Saints and every one [1] slaughtered in the scapegoat-sacrificial system of the world order were evidenced in her." (The word, [1, G4969] sphazo is the verb, slaughtered used of the slain Lamb.) (The Mirror, with editing.)
This brings chapter 18 to its close. Until our next visit may the LORD of ALL increase our understanding and knowing of Him.
I might here say this, The words and teaching of this chapter stand out as a reflection on the world and especial here in America these days. When it all comes down to this: Come out of her, My people - These words appear to be taken from Isa. 48:20; Jer. 1:8, 51:6, 45. The poet Mantuanus expresses this thought well: - "Vivere qui sancte cupitis, discelite; Romae
Omnia quum liceant, non licet esse bonum. “Ye who desire to live a godly life, depart; for, although all things are lawful at Rome, yet to be godly is unlawful." Meaning to me that we are to acquire a renewed mind or as it has been put by others; Acquire the Mind of Christ! I will say it with this quote from Paul as he stated it in: Romans 12:1-2, as written in the KJV, with my editing; "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to GOD, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of GOD!"
The Fall of Babylon

"The Secret of GOD," as revealed by John in the Revelation of Christ, chapter 18:9, with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.
Again the kings of the earth are brought to center stage as they hold sway over humanity.
The Fall of Babylon
Revelation 18:9-10, 11-20 "And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, "Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come."
And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more: The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble, and cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men. "And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all." The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing, and saying, "Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls! For in one hour so great riches is come to nought." And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off, and cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, "What city is like unto this great city!" And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, "Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness!" For in one hour is she made desolate. Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her." (KJV)
Revelation 18:9-10, 11-20 "And the kings of the earth, who committed sexual immorality and lived in luxury with her, will weep and wail over her when they see the smoke of her burning. They will stand far off, in fear of her torment, and say, "Alas! Alas! You great city, you mighty city, Babylon! For in a single hour your judgment has come."
And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn for her, since no one buys their cargo anymore, cargo of gold, silver, jewels, pearls, fine linen, purple cloth, silk, scarlet cloth, all kinds of scented wood, all kinds of articles of ivory, all kinds of articles of costly wood, bronze, iron and marble, cinnamon, spice, incense, myrrh, frankincense, wine, oil, fine flour, wheat, cattle and sheep, horses and chariots, and slaves, that is, human souls. "The fruit for which your soul longed has gone from you, and all your delicacies and your splendors are lost to you, never to be found again!" The merchants of these wares, who gained wealth from her, will stand far off, in fear of her torment, weeping and mourning aloud, "Alas, alas, for the great city that was clothed in fine linen, in purple and scarlet, adorned with gold, with jewels, and with pearls! For in a single hour all this wealth has been laid waste." And all shipmasters and seafaring men, sailors and all whose trade is on the sea, stood far off and cried out as they saw the smoke of her burning, "What city was like the great city?" And they threw dust on their heads as they wept and mourned, crying out, "Alas, alas, for the great city where all who had ships at sea grew rich by her wealth! For in a single hour she has been laid waste. Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you saints and apostles and prophets, for God has given judgment for you against her!" (ESV)
Revelation 18:9-10, 11-20 "And the kings of the earth, the executives of the mindsets of the Beast system, her faithful fornicating friends and clients, are weeping and wailing bitterly while the smoke of her burning rises. They stand completely detached from her, embarrassed by their association with her in her [1] exposed, pretentious identity, crying, "Alas! Alas! The mighty city of Babylon is doomed in one hour!" ( Repeat note of verse 7; The word [1, G929] torment basanismos is from basanizo, to test metals by the touchstone.)
Also the money-power emperors of the world who control the global trade-routes, the merchants and economists were wailing and mourning because their cargo anymore! The touchstone currency of GOD has exposed the fake currency system of the world economy! (Rev. 17:15) Suddenly no one shows any interest in their most precious cargo of gold, silver, rare gems, pearls, fine linen fabrics, purple, silk, scarlet, all kinds of scented wood, ivory carvings and articles, expensive hard woods, bronze, iron, and marble. The list goes on and on! Cinnamon, spices, incense, perfumes, frankincense, wine, olive oil, flour, wheat, cattle, sheep, horses, wagons and slaves! No buyers! The entire economy crashed! None of the sought after seasonal fruits or any delicacy associated with their luxurious living were available any longer. Not even a trace of these could be found! The once mighty merchants and money brokers who gleaned their wealth from her, were standing (social distancing) afar off, afraid and disorientated! They weep and wail bitterly since the touchstone currency of their economy has been exposed as fake! Alas the great model city of the world is doomed! Dressed to perfection in the most expensive and elegant fashion. Draped in purple and scarlet fabric, festooned and sprinkled with golden glitter and ornaments; She was elaborately decorated with gold, precious stones and pearls. In a brief moment all this pomp has come to nothing! The great shipping tycoons of the world, their workforce and clients all stood in bewilderment, witnessing from afar the ruin of their entire enterprises as it went up in smoke! They wept bitterly in lament, "Who would have thought that this great city of unequaled prominence could come to nothing!" In their sense of hopelessness and bafflement they cast dust upon their heads as if to wrap their minds around the ultimate reduction of their vibrant life to lifeless dust! They are weeping and wailing in shock for the great city which has fallen! "Oh, what a shame that the famous icon of prosperity who made every ship owner rich is now [1] left utterly desolate in just one hour!" ( The word, [1, G2048] eremos, means desolate; Also used of a woman neglected by her husband, from whom the husband withholds himself. The whore-city is now bereft of all her lovers.) A [1]deep sense of relief is felt in the heavens as all the Saints, the Apostles and the Prophets celebrate how GOD caused the whore's judgment of others to be her own judgment. (The word, [1, G2165 from G2095 and G5424 ] euphraino, to be delighted, (G2095) eu, plus (G5424 ) phren - innermost being; literally, has judged your judgment out of her - what she has judged concerning you.) (The Mirror, with editing.)
Now may our LORD and GOD raise us up in His goodness of mercy (Lam. 3:22 and Rom. 12:1-2) to His level of understanding of all things of Him.
The Fall of Babylon
Revelation 18:9-10, 11-20 "And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, "Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come."

"The Secret of GOD," as revealed by John in the Revelation of Christ, chapter 18:4, with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.
There dose not seem to be a lot of discovery within the context of this chapter that lays bear "The Fall of Babylon." Which we shall soon discover is of all things.........the figure of all that is wrong in the powers that be. That require accountability.
The Fall of Babylon
Revelation 18:4-8 "And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, "Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double. How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, "I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow." Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her." (KJV)
Revelation 18:4-8 "Then I heard another voice from heaven saying, "Come out of her, my people, lest you take part in her sins, lest you share in her plagues; For her sins are heaped high as heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities. Pay her back as she herself has paid back others, and repay her double for her deeds; mix a double portion for her in the cup she mixed. As she glorified herself and lived in luxury, so give her a like measure of torment and mourning, since in her heart she says, 'I sit as a queen, I am no widow, and mourning I shall never see.' For this reason her plagues will come in a single day, death and mourning and famine, and she will be burned up with fire; for mighty is the Lord God who has judged her." (ESV)
Revelation 18:4-8 "And I heard another voice saying out of the heavens, "Come on out of her grasp of her deception! (The seems to be over looked by most Bible scholars as is ithe repeats of of Israel's calling to come of Egypt and it is repeated yet again is 2Corinthinas 6:11-7:3 for those of the Ekklesiah of GOD.) You are Mt people; You have nothing in common with her distortions and need not participate in her plagues. Her perverted twistedness of GOD'S image in you has piled up and polluted every square inch of the earth and it's sky above. GOD cannot tolerate the presence of the unrighteousness she represents. (First Aorist (prophetic) active indicative of mnemoneuo, remember or tolerate, here with the accusative (adikemata, unrighteousness) instead of the genitive - thus, not her unrighteousness, but the unrighteousness that she represents.) The Lamb's suffering dealt a double blow to the whore and Beast-systems! The counterfeit cup she mixed turned on her and proved to be her defeat. (Give back to her as also she gave back to you, and double to her double, according to her works. In the cup which she mixed, mix to her double.)
Their apparent initial victory in the brutal unjust trial and crucifixion of the original Lamb turned against their tyranny double measure - not only were they outwitted in His death, when the document of humanity's guilt in the scarred body of Jesus was nailed to the cross, whereby every possible claim against the human race was nullified, but in His resurrection GOD presented the receipt, documenting the justification and redeemed righteousness of the entire human race!
This reminds of what the Prophet Isaiah saw, in Isaiah 40:2, "Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and cry to her that her warfare is ended, that her iniquities are pardoned, that she has received from the LORD's hand double for all her sins."
The judgment that sin has brought in its hellish torment as inevitable consequence upon humanity is now atoned for in double proportions in the Lamb's suffering and in the reversal of the lamb's judgment brought upon all principalities and powers.) This is a complete reversal of her self-inflated glory and luxurious lifestyle to the exposure of her falsehood - like when mental is [1]tested with a touchstone and proves to be fool's gold - and gladness is turned into sorrow. You said in your heart, I am established as a queen and not a widow - I will not know grief. (The word [1, G929 from G928 from G931 basanos, meaning through the notion of going to the bottom] torment basanismos from (G928) basanizo, to test metals by the touchstone, which is a black siliceous stone is used to test the purity of gold or silver by the color of the streak produced on it by rubbing it with either metal - a piece of fine-grained dark schist or jasper formerly used for testing alloys of gold by observing the color of the mark which they made on it - thus, a standard or criterion by which something is judged or recognized. The cup Jesus drank of while on the cross is the touchstone! 'What shall I say? Father remove this cup from Me? NO! For it is for this hour I have come!'") Her calamity strikes in one day - death, sorrow and starvation - her entire dynasty is burnt to ashes in this fire of the passionate judgment of the LORD GOD." (See Isaiah 47:8-9, "Now therefore hear this, you lovers of pleasure, who sit securely, who say in your heart, "I am, there is no one besides me; I shall not sit as a widow or know the loss of children." These two things shall come to you in a moment, in one day; The loss of children and widowhood shall come upon you in full measure, in spite of your many sorceries and great power of your enchantments.
All of her "offspring" are rescued out of her sway.) (The Mirror, with editing)
Now may the LORD increase our understand of Him and all that He IS!
The Fall of Babylon
Revelation 18:4-8 "And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, "Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double. How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, "I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow." Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her." (KJV)
Revelation 18:4-8 "Then I heard another voice from heaven saying, "Come out of her, my people, lest you take part in her sins, lest you share in her plagues; For her sins are heaped high as heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities. Pay her back as she herself has paid back others, and repay her double for her deeds; mix a double portion for her in the cup she mixed. As she glorified herself and lived in luxury, so give her a like measure of torment and mourning, since in her heart she says, 'I sit as a queen, I am no widow, and mourning I shall never see.' For this reason her plagues will come in a single day, death and mourning and famine, and she will be burned up with fire; for mighty is the Lord God who has judged her." (ESV)
Revelation 18:4-8 "And I heard another voice saying out of the heavens, "Come on out of her grasp of her deception! (The seems to be over looked by most Bible scholars as is ithe repeats of of Israel's calling to come of Egypt and it is repeated yet again is 2Corinthinas 6:11-7:3 for those of the Ekklesiah of GOD.) You are Mt people; You have nothing in common with her distortions and need not participate in her plagues. Her perverted twistedness of GOD'S image in you has piled up and polluted every square inch of the earth and it's sky above. GOD cannot tolerate the presence of the unrighteousness she represents. (First Aorist (prophetic) active indicative of mnemoneuo, remember or tolerate, here with the accusative (adikemata, unrighteousness) instead of the genitive - thus, not her unrighteousness, but the unrighteousness that she represents.) The Lamb's suffering dealt a double blow to the whore and Beast-systems! The counterfeit cup she mixed turned on her and proved to be her defeat. (Give back to her as also she gave back to you, and double to her double, according to her works. In the cup which she mixed, mix to her double.)
Their apparent initial victory in the brutal unjust trial and crucifixion of the original Lamb turned against their tyranny double measure - not only were they outwitted in His death, when the document of humanity's guilt in the scarred body of Jesus was nailed to the cross, whereby every possible claim against the human race was nullified, but in His resurrection GOD presented the receipt, documenting the justification and redeemed righteousness of the entire human race!
This reminds of what the Prophet Isaiah saw, in Isaiah 40:2, "Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and cry to her that her warfare is ended, that her iniquities are pardoned, that she has received from the LORD's hand double for all her sins."
The judgment that sin has brought in its hellish torment as inevitable consequence upon humanity is now atoned for in double proportions in the Lamb's suffering and in the reversal of the lamb's judgment brought upon all principalities and powers.) This is a complete reversal of her self-inflated glory and luxurious lifestyle to the exposure of her falsehood - like when mental is [1]tested with a touchstone and proves to be fool's gold - and gladness is turned into sorrow. You said in your heart, I am established as a queen and not a widow - I will not know grief. (The word [1, G929 from G928 from G931 basanos, meaning through the notion of going to the bottom] torment basanismos from (G928) basanizo, to test metals by the touchstone, which is a black siliceous stone is used to test the purity of gold or silver by the color of the streak produced on it by rubbing it with either metal - a piece of fine-grained dark schist or jasper formerly used for testing alloys of gold by observing the color of the mark which they made on it - thus, a standard or criterion by which something is judged or recognized. The cup Jesus drank of while on the cross is the touchstone! 'What shall I say? Father remove this cup from Me? NO! For it is for this hour I have come!'") Her calamity strikes in one day - death, sorrow and starvation - her entire dynasty is burnt to ashes in this fire of the passionate judgment of the LORD GOD." (See Isaiah 47:8-9, "Now therefore hear this, you lovers of pleasure, who sit securely, who say in your heart, "I am, there is no one besides me; I shall not sit as a widow or know the loss of children." These two things shall come to you in a moment, in one day; The loss of children and widowhood shall come upon you in full measure, in spite of your many sorceries and great power of your enchantments.
All of her "offspring" are rescued out of her sway.) (The Mirror, with editing)
Now may the LORD increase our understand of Him and all that He IS!

"The Secret of GOD," as revealed by John in the Revelation of Christ, chapter 18:1, with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.
We begin our look at the destruction of Babylon the mystery whore of the worlds economy, financial system or internet system and maybe the worlds religious systems, which till now were veiled by darkness. This may require a few days so please bear with me for a while on this, as I break it down into its parts, which are few in number.
The Fall of Babylon
Revelation 18:1-3 "And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, "Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies." (KJV)
Revelation 18:1-3 "After this I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was made bright with his glory. And he called out with a mighty voice, "Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great! She has become a dwelling place for demons, a haunt for every unclean spirit, a haunt for every unclean bird, a haunt for every unclean and detestable beast. For all nations have drunk the wine of the passion of her sexual immorality, and the kings of the earth have committed immorality with her, and the merchants of the earth have grown rich from the power of her luxurious living." (ESV)
Revelation 18:1-3 "With this I saw another Shepherd-Messenger descending out of the heavenly sphere with blazing light beaming out of him. The light lit up the earth with the brightness of his glorious presence. He announced in a thunderous voice, "The great Babylon is utterly crushed - it has become a ghost town of demons, haunted by every unclean spirit, held in it like in a cage for eerie, spooky birds. The masses of humanity became intoxicated with the wine of her passion and adulteries while their kings flirted with her and the traveling traders of the world made their wealth with the powerful lure of her attractions." (The Mirror)
Now is the day of the LORD for all who hear His voice. As it has always been!

"The Secret of GOD," as revealed by John in the Revelation of Christ, between the chapter notes of chapter 17-4, with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.
We have arrived at the forth of four notes discovered in our reading of chapter 17, this one it "Babylon is Fallen." The whore religion of the ancient world clothed in sheep's cloth to disguise it true identity, that of a wolf that has a devious appetite for unsuspecting humanity. In some clutches she looks like a virigin with her head bowed and arms out stretched in a downward fashion and fashioned in royal colors to give her some sort of dignity. Enough of that lets get into our search shall we?
Babylon has Fallen!
Revelation 17:18, "The women you saw is the great city which dominates the kings of the earth." (The Prostitute city-society of Babylon stands in contrast to the Bride of Christ as the New Jerusalem.)
The repeat of the same scene recorded in Revelation 14:6-8, "And I saw another Shepherd-Messenger soaring in mid heaven - this Shepherd was the carrier of good news and his mission was to announce these glad tidings of everlasting proportions to every single nation, tribe, language and people groupings of the earth! In a great voice he declared, "Be awestruck with the amazingness of GOD! Give Him Glory! The hour of His judgment has come! He is the Maker of the heavenly realm, the earth, the sea and the fountains of the waters." (This announcement echoes in Jesus' declaration in John 12:31-33, "'This is the judgment of this world; It is the moment where the authority of the world-systems are cast out! [This serpent's head is about to be crushed! Genesis 3:15; Colossians 2:14-15] When I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw all judgment to Myself! [The subject of the sentence as from the previous verse is the judgment of the world.] He would be lifted up on a cross (of Roman design not known to the ancients or the prophets, these described this as being hung from a tree and so it is), descend into the depths of our hell, then, according to the prophetic word of Hosea 6:2, after two days be lifted up as representative of the human race, out of the lowest parts of the earth and elevated to the highest heavens! Ephesians 4:8-9, also Ephesians 2:5-6 and Colossians 3:1-3. John 3:14, 8:28, Acts 2:33 and 1John 3:5. We have witnessed with our own eyes how, in the unveiling of the prophetic word, when He was lifted up upon the cross as the Lamb of GOD, He lifted up our sins (in His flesh, our humanity) and defeated its dominion and rule over us! [John 1:29, "Behold, the Lamb of GOD, who takes away [airo] the sin of the world! The word airo means to lift up.] This He said to point to the way in which he would die. See John 19:15 - "Lift Him up! Crucify Him!" was their cry!") And a second Shepherd-Messenger followed with more good news! Babylon the great city crashed and will never fly again! She who sold herself as a prostitute to all the nations and intoxicated them with the wine (of her false religions and their many and varied systems) of her passions. (The language is an echo of Isaiah 21:9, "Babylon has fallen! It has fallen! All the idols they worship lie shattered on the ground." Jeremiah 51:8, "Babylon will suddenly fall and be shattered." Babylon was used for Rome in late Jewish writings; see also 1Peter 5:13) In the imagery that follows, [in Rev. 15-17] John sees how the effect of the triune religious counterfeit of the Dragon, the Beast and the fake slain and risen lamb disguised as the great prostitute of Babylon is thoroughly stripped of their influence and dominion and brought to naught.
The same announcement of the utter defeat of Babylon continues in Chapter 18....!) Revelation 18:2, "He announced in a thunderous voice, The great Babylon is utterly crushed!"
This completes our look into the author's notes on chapter 17, the LORD will, we shall begin chapter 18 in our next visit. Until then may He who IS bring us all through what is currently happening in the world of abstract darkness, a darkness of a great facade.

"The Secret of GOD," as revealed by John in the Revelation of Christ, between the chapter notes of chapter 17-3c, with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.
We should be able to bring this section's look at "The Triumph of the Lamb" to its close with this post.
The Triumph of the Lamb
Revelation 5:5-6, 11-13, "Then one of the Elders said to me, "You need not weep anymore! The Lion has conquered! He who is of the tribe of Judah, the root of David! His victory qualifies Him to open the scroll and to break its seven seals!" ( Idou enikesen Behold! He has conquered! ho leon, ho ek tes phules Jodah, he ritza David, The Lion who is out of the tribe of Judah, the root of David. Rev. 3:7, I hold the key of David as prophesied by Isaiah in 22:22.
See Genesis 49:9-11, "Judah is a lion's whelp; The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor the ruler's staff from between His feet, until He comes to whom it belongs; And to Him shall be the obedience of the peoples. Binding His foal to the vine and His ass's colt to the choice vine, He washes His garments in wine and His vesture in the blood of grapes.") So I looked to see the Lion, as if fused into one with the Throne and in unison with the four Living Beings, taking center stage in the midst of the Elders, I saw a little Lamb, alive and standing even though it seemed to have been violently butchered in sacrifice! It had seven horns and seven eyes which are the seven Spirits of GOD having been sent out to accomplish His bidding in all the earth. ( You cannot see the Lion until you see the Lamb! Mankind's innocence is the authority of the Throne of the Kingdom of GOD.) Then I saw [1]wave upon wave of innumerable Angelic Shepherd-Messengers [1]engulfing the Throne and the Elders and the Living Beings and I heard singing! It was a mass choir of [2]multi millions! (The word, [1, G2945] kuklo, encircle, is from (G2949) kuma, a swelling wave; Which also connects with the etymological value of the word muriades, from meu, like in waves of the sea. Countless [2] myraids-literally ten thousands times ten thousands and thousands of thousands! The largest number named in Ancient Greek was the myruad, myriad (written MM) or hundred million. In his Sand Reckoner, Archimedes of Syracuse used this quantity as the basis for a numeration system of large powers of ten, which he used to count grains of sand!
According to PIE, the etymology of the word myriad has been variously connected to meu- "damp" in reference to the waves of the sea and to Greek myrmex ("ant") in reference to their swarms. Proto-Indo-European (PIE) is the linguistic reconstruction of the common ancestor of the Indo-European language, the most widely spoken language family in the world.) In their full capacity they exploded in song, proclaiming in unison, "The Lamb's worth is now fully [1]realized! [2]Having been slain in sacrifice, the power, wealth, wisdom, strength, honor, glory, and blessing [3]belong to Him! (The word, [1] labein, to have taken/realized, is from (G2983) lambano, to take, to grasp, to revive; Here in the Aorist Infinitive tense, which indicates prior completion of an action in relationship to a point in time. The word, [3] esphagmenon, is the Perfect Passive Participle of the verb, [2, G4969]sphazo, to slay in sacrifice. It is used to describe a state that exists at the time of the main verb. The basic thought of the perfect tense is that the progress of an action has been completed and the results of the action are continuing on, in full effect. In other words, the progress of the action has reached its culmination and the finished results are now in existence.) At that point the entire universe burst out in praise! I heard every created being in the heavenly realm and upon the earth and under the earth, and upon the oceans and everything within all these spheres, declaring to the One seated upon the Throne and to the Lamb: "The most [1]articulate language, the admiration, the supreme magnificence, the might until the ages of the ages!" (The word, [1, G2129 the same as G2127 eulogeō, a compound of G2095 and G3056 ] eulogia, is from (G2095) eu, good, well done, and (G3056) logos; Thus, polished language; Such language which is artfully adapted to captivate the hearer: fair speaking, fine speeches.) [It is almost unspeakable that of all the themes GOD could choose from to celebrate the central authority of the Throne Room, He chose the Lamb! Our redeemed innocence is the theme of the Throne of heaven, forever!] (The Mirror, with editing.)
This concludes this look into "The Triumph of the LAMB!" Our next visit, the LORD willing, we shall look into "Babylon is Fallen." Until then may our LORD lift us up as He is the great authority of the earth.
