Our last sect of thought in chapter 20 in my study Bibles has these headings. As we have been going along I have found myself becoming somewhat hardened/cynical to the way the Word of GOD and of His Christ has been treated by the unknowing and religious world.
The Final Judgment or the Judgment of the Wicked and Judgment Before the Great White Throne:
Revelation 20:11-15 "And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire." (KJV)
Revelation 20:11-15 "Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. From his presence earth and sky fled away, and no place was found for them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done. And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and they were judged, each one of them, according to what they had done. Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire." (ESV)
Revelation 20:11-15 "And I saw a huge white Throne and it was as if heaven and earth fled away from the presence of the One seated upon this Throne and its place was never found again. ( This means that there is no accusation in the heavens or upon earth that could possibly stand in the presence of the Lamb, the One seated on this Throne of judgment of righteousness --- His Throne gives testimony to humanity's redeemed acquittal! See Hebrews 1:3, "Having made purification for sins He sat down!" There exists no evidence that could be brought from any sphere or dimension that could possibly testify against the human race -- Acts 17:30-31, "The GOD of creation has overlooked the times of ignorance and Now urgently persuades all of humanity everywhere to awaken in their understanding to the fact/Truth of their innocence ---- He appointed a day and a person and on that day and in that person GOD would judge the world in righteousness and of this He has given proof by raising Jesus from the dead!" The resurrected Jesus is the official receipt and verification confirming humanity's redeemed innocence! Romans 4:25, Rev. 20:4, also Mat. 19:28, Jesus said to them, 'Truly, I say to you, in the [1]rebooting (regeneration) of mankind, when the Son of man shall sit on His glorious Throne, you who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.' The word, [1, G3824 from G3825 and G1078] paliggenesia, suggests a complete restoration to the original condition, in modern terms, a reboot. From (G3825) palin, again by repetition and (G1078) genesis, source. This is only used here and in Mat. 19:28 and Titus 3:5.) And I saw everyone who ever died, small and great, standing before GOD. And the books were opened. And another book was opened! The Book of Life. The first volume of books represented humanity's judgment based on their own works, verses the Book of Life which celebrates the triumph of the Lamb! (Rev. 3:5, 'Everyone who sees their victory in Me will I clothe in white garments - and they will realize that I am not in the business of fulfilling their Law and Performance based fears by blotting out their names from the Book of Life! Instead I am the one who endorses their identity face to face before My Father and His Shepherd-Messengers.' [The language is taken from the custom of registering the names of persons in a list, a roll, or catalogue,,,ie. a census. In the Jewish tradition there were prevailing fears that a name might be bolted out of the Book of Life if one's behavior did not please GOD! This being the seat of a perverted mindset of false belief. see note on the Lamb's Book of Life at the end of chapter 17.) Every domain where the dead were held, yielded them up to be judged according to His work [the work of Jesus]. Everyone was there; The sea yielded up its dead also Death and Hades yielded their dead. (The singular, o ἔργον αστος, his work, rather than, plural, their works, is the text by Tischendorf. [see notes on Text at the introduction to Revelation]. Also note Rev. 22:12, "Behold! [again Aorist Imperative!] Now get the message, once and for all! I am Come! There are no further delays! This is the hour the Prophets pointed to! And My reward is with Me, to give to each as His [the Lamb's]work is.') Then Death and Hades were cast into the Lake of fire. This is the second death. ( The Second Death is not to distract us from the once and for all death that Jesus died, but to endorse it! In the Lake of fire, Death and Hades were eradicated from memory. The first death is the once for all death that Jesus took on in our death when He died, representing the global death of all humankind. Jesus' death took mankind's death in Adam, out of the equation! [Heb. 9:27-28, 2Cor. 5:14-17] The idea of the Second Death had to do with the fact that the revelation of everyone's inclusion in the death of Jesus, has not yet dawned on some - so it will take a crisis, often, their own death, to immediately engage them with the symbolic cleansing [from their wickedness of unbelief] represented by the lake of fire, burning Sulphur, purifying like in a furnace, separating their unbelief as dross is from gold, from the dross-mindset. Rev. 2:11, 20:6. see note at the end of chapter 19.) And [1]everything that was not written in the Book of Life was poured into the Lake of fire." (The Greek, - with, ei tis, means everthing or everyone - but, what is cast into this symbolic lake ablaze with Brimstone is not a person but rather a mindset! A distorted perception of identity!
The authentic ID/DNA of human life is defined in the Book of Life - or the Tree of Life, representing the redeemed life of our origin and design, versus the alternative Tree of the knowledge of good and evil, representing humanity's corrupted identity under scrutiny and questioned (a mental defect of reasoning). The "I am not-tree" heads up the System of a Works and Performance Based Philosophy. To have your name written in the Book of Life simply suggests that you discover your identity there in Zoe-life redeemed by the Lamb. You may have only known yourself according to the flesh, as did Simon, the son of Jonah, while you really are Petros! mr. Rock, you are a chip of the old Block! Every evidence of an inferior identity will be cast into the lake of sulphur burning away the dross of a perverse mindset to reveal the gold! Any idea of an identity outside of the Book of Life, is dissolved! The Lamb's Book of Life and not the Law of personal performance, defines us! see the extended note on the Lamb's Book of Life at the end of chapter 17.) (The Mirror, with editing.)
Now I have decided to hold off on sharing the commentaries of this chapters notes for a few days, this closes chapter 20's search and discovery study for now. I will the LORD willing pick this back up in our next visit.

"The Secrets of GOD," as revealed by John in the Revealtion of Christ, chapter 20:7, with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.
We are doing another examination of Revelation 20 and are about in the middle of this project of discovery with deep intent of the Spirit's leading. All the while destroying the veil of hypocrisy, superstition and mediocrity and other feloniousness of religions creation and exercises that surround Revelation's revealed story of Christ restored within the human race. All designed to keep and work a greater evil of a false perspective and mindset.
The Thousand Year Reign or the Millennial Kingdom: The Devil/Santan Defeated:
Revelation 20:7-10 "And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, and shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever." (KJV)
Revelation 20:7-10 "And when the thousand years are ended, Satan will be released from his prison and will come out to deceive the nations that are at the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them for battle; their number is like the sand of the sea. And they marched up over the broad plain of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city, but fire came down from heaven and consumed them, and the devil who had deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur where the beast and the false prophet were, and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever." (ESV)
Revelation 20:7-10 "Their reign and priesthood will be fully established within the context of the vastness of this symbolic thousand year period. In sharp contrast then, only to emphasize the completed and utter defeat of the Satanas-system, he will be let loose very briefly, out of his prison. (From the Abyss, the "Bottomless Pit-Underworld," where he was imprisoned when Jesus went there to free humanity. Jesus Christ came back with the keys, remember! Rev. 20:3) And his obvious strategy was to deceive the nations on a global scale including the four corners of the earth (as it was known and believed back then to be)by assembling Gog and Magog in war; Their number is as the sand of the sea. (Again, every traditional Jewish concept of judgment is here addressed, since Jewish eschatology viewed Gog and Magog (these figures are fragments of mans twisted fallen mental imagery) as enemies to be defeated by their Messiah, which will usher in the age of the Messiah. "Then Eldad and Modad [brothers of Moses] both prophesied together, and said, "In the very end of time Gog and Magog and their army shall come up against Jerusalem, and they shall fall by the hand of the King Messiah; They shall be slain by the flame of fire which shall proceed from under the Throne of glory, and afterwards all the dead of Israel shall be raised again to life, and shall enjoy the delights prepared for them from the beginning." Quote is from the Jewish Targum. See reference in Numbers 11:26 and Ezekiel 38:17.
There are numeral references to the same "once and for all war" in the heavens! It is however the same hour; The same event! Rev. 12:7, 16:13-14, 17:13-14, and 19:19. see the extended notes on Israel at the end of this chapter.) They will spread across the earth and attempt to neutralize the "Queen Bee Bride (Queen of Heaven)," of the Lamb by surrounding and besieging GOD's Saints in the beloved city. Then fire will pour out of heaven and consume them. (Again, the distorted mindset of santanas (satanic) accusation and judgments are made a meal of-yet another reference to the great supper-feast celebrating the New Blood Covenant and the conclusion of the old. The fire from the altar of the slain Lamb of GOD consumes every definition of Israel's and indeed, mankind's perceived enemies. See the extended note on the Lake of Fire, at the end of chapter 19.) The Devil, who led them (by a twisted mental mindset) astray will be hurled into the Lake of Fire and Brimstone where his puppet partners, the Beast and the False (religions influence) Prophet have already been confined to. Day and Night they will be the subject 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 their (delusional mindset of 2Thessalonians 2, Rom. 1:21-25; Ps. 81:11-12, Is. 29:9-14) existence." (See notes on the Touchstone in Rev. 14:10; also on the Lake of Fire and Brimstone at the end of chapter 19.) (The Mirror, with editing.)
May our LORD reveal His great Truth within us all.

May our LORD reveal His great Truth within us all.

"The Secrets of GOD," as revealed by John in the Revealtion of Christ, chapter 20:4, with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.
We are heading into the area of chapter 20 of the Revelation of Christ's rule that deals with a judgment according to how this area reads, but lets see if all is as it appears shall we. We are still under the heading of:
The Thousand Years Reign or The Millennial Kingdom:
Revelation 20:4-6 "And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years." (KJV)
Revelation 20:4-6 "Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom the authority to judge was committed. Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is the one who shares in the first resurrection! Over such the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and they will reign with him for a thousand years." (ESV)
Revelation 20:4-6 "And I saw thrones and those seated upon the thrones have been given judgment. They are the souls who didn't worship the Beast or its image, and did not take his mark in their foreheads or on their hands. The system of the Beast [1]axed them because of the testimony of Jesus and because of the Word of GOD, since they didn't fit into their religious mold! They are the living beings, joined together in the Christ life, reigning from their joint-seatedness on the Throne of the Lamb for a thousand years. (Rev. 1:2, John gave accurate evidence to the word of GOD and the testimony of Jesus Christ, exactly as he saw it. [The Word of GOD, is the testimony of Jesus. The testimony of Jesus Christ is the context of the prophetic word.] The word, [1, G3990 from G4141 ] pelekizo, axe, to cut off, is from (G4141 plesso, to flatten, pound flat, from G4111) plasso, to shape or fabricate, to form, mold something from clay, wax, etc. - used of a potter - they would not be molded into a distorted image-mindset. Rev. 21:1, also Mat. 19:28, Jesus said to them, 'Truly, I say to you, in the rebooting(G3824 used as regeneration) of mankind, when the Son of man shall sit on His glorious Throne, you who have followed Me (Rom. 12:1-2) will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve Israel.' See the word, [G3824 from G3825 and G1078] paliggenesia, suggests a complete restoration to the original, in modern terms, rebooted. From (G3825) palin, again by repetition and (G1078) genesis, source, original nature. This only used here and in Titus 3:5. see the extended notes on the Word of GOD and the Testimony of Jesus Christ at the end of this chapter.) This is the first resurrection. (The words, "But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished" were added at a time when the church claimed to be fulfilling the thousand-year reign of Christ. The Sinaitic MS., remarkable as being the oldest as well as for its completeness and accuracy, is the only Greek authority on Revelation ante-dating the fifth century: and it does not contain this clause.
John 6:40, 'And this is the desire of My Father, that everyone who sees the Son, through his eyes, and finds the conclusion of (eis)their persuasion in Him, will resonate (echo)the life of the ages! And I will raise him up in the final day!' (Jesus speaks here of mankind's joint resurrection in His resurrection as the final day!) The word, theoreo means to gaze attentively. See Hosea 6:2, "After two days He will revive us; On the third day He will raise us up, that we may live before Him." The word, eschatos means extreme; Last in time or in space; The uttermost part, the final conclusion. What GOD said about 'you-manity' in their co-resurrection in Jesus, defines eschatology! Heb. 1:1-3; Eph. 2:5-6.)
See 1Cor. 15:13, 20-22, "If our co-resurrection is not proclaimed then the resurrection of Jesus from the dead is no longer relevant! However this very moment the risen Christ represents everyone who has ever died; Exactly like the first fruit represents the harvest. The same humanity who died in a man was raised again in a man. In Adam all died; In Christ all are made alive." The first [most significant]revelation of Jesus' resurrection is the fact that His resurrection is humanity's resurrection! See Hosea 6:2, "After two days he will revive us; On the third day He will raise us up, that we may live before Him." Paul reveals in Ephesians 2:5-6 that, "while we were dead in our sins and trespasses, GOD co-quickened us and co-raised us and co-seated us in heavenly places!" Then in Colossians 3:1-3, Paul urges us to engage our thoughts with Throne room realities, since we are raised together with Christ. See the extended notes on the Word of GOD and the Testimony of Christ at the end of this chapter.) Oh the [1]blessedness of this bliss, celebrated in the redeemed innocence of every single individual, discovering their own inclusion in this first resurrection as their own - realizing that the second death has no bearing on them whatsoever - they will continue in their priesthood to GOD and Christ and they will co-reign with Him for a thousand years." (The word, [1, G3107] makarios , usually translated, blessed, suggests a special intensity of delight. This is the fifth beatitude; Rev. 1:3, 14:13, 16:15, 19:9 and two more to come in; Rev. 22:7, 14, making seven in all.) (The Mirror, with editing.)
Until our next visit may the LORD of ALL be echoed within us all to His glory unfolded within us.

"The Secrets of GOD," as revealed by John in the Revealtion of Christ, chapter 20:1, with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.
We begin now with chapter 20 of the Revelation of Christ the inspiration of GOD's being revealed in human form in His Image and Likeness having been Redeemed in all of humanity.
The Millennial Kingdom or The Thousand Year Reign:
Revelation 20:1-3 "And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, and cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season." (KJV)
Revelation 20:1-3 "Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding in his hand the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain. And he seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years, and threw him into the pit, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he might not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were ended. After that he must be released for a little while." (ESV)
Revelation 20:1-3 "And I witnessed a Shepherd-herald descending out of the heavenly sphere and he had the key of the bottomless Abyss and a great chain over his hand. (Ephesians 4:8-9, "He who ascended is also He who descended into the lowest parts of the earth. The fact that He ascended confirms His victorious descent into the deepest pits of human despair." Revelation 9:1, "When the fifth Shepherd-Messenger blew his trumpet, I saw a star that had fallen to earth from the sky. This star was given the key to the shaft into the fathomless depths of the Abyss." [Jesus is the bright Morning Star of Revelation 2:28 and 22:16, 'I am the bright Morning Star!' Also 2Peter 1:1-19] see the note at the end of chapter 9 of Revelation.) And He overpowered the Dragon, in its every disguise as the old Serpent in the garden of Genesis('s record in chapter 3), also called the Devil, or going under the name, Satan, and chained him up for a thousand years. (From King David to Jesus was a thousand years! Rev. 3:7, 'I hold the key of David' as prophesied by Isaiah in 22:22! Yes, I unlock the mystery of the heavenly dimension and no one can shut the door! And I lock the entrance and none [of the old corrupted mindset, the result of the fall]can access it!' The links in the chain, are the prophetic words in the mouth of David and the Prophets till John the Baptist. These words already chained Satanas to the irreversible intention of GOD. Mat. 12:29; Is. 49:24-25, 26; Mark 3:27, Luke 11:21-23; 'Or how can one enter a strong man's house and plunder his goods, unless He first binds the strong man? Then indeed He may plunder his house.' see the notes on Ophis, the old Serpent at the end of chapter 12.)

That is to say as Simon bar Jonah and Saul of Tarus became awakened, among many others.)

What happened in the brief moment of Jesus' descent into this Abyss is paralleled against its enduring effect of chaining up of the Devil for a symbolic thousand years.
This is a clear announcement of what happened in Jesus' descention into hell where He defeated the reign and claim of darkness in the HQ of humanity's deepest pits of despair and then, in His resurrection He co-raised the entire human race into a place (of our origin Gen. 1:26-27) of joint-reigning with Him again from the heavenlies! See again Hosea 6:2 and Eph. 4:8-10, also Col. 2:14-15. (see the extended note on the Thousand Years at the end of this chapter, also those on Armageddon at the end of chapter 16.) (The Mirror, with editing.)
Now may the LORD of ALL bring us to our next visit with more light of a renewed mindset of Romans 12:1-2.
The Millennial Kingdom or The Thousand Year Reign:
Revelation 20:1-3 "And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, and cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season." (KJV)
Revelation 20:1-3 "Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding in his hand the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain. And he seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years, and threw him into the pit, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he might not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were ended. After that he must be released for a little while." (ESV)
Revelation 20:1-3 "And I witnessed a Shepherd-herald descending out of the heavenly sphere and he had the key of the bottomless Abyss and a great chain over his hand. (Ephesians 4:8-9, "He who ascended is also He who descended into the lowest parts of the earth. The fact that He ascended confirms His victorious descent into the deepest pits of human despair." Revelation 9:1, "When the fifth Shepherd-Messenger blew his trumpet, I saw a star that had fallen to earth from the sky. This star was given the key to the shaft into the fathomless depths of the Abyss." [Jesus is the bright Morning Star of Revelation 2:28 and 22:16, 'I am the bright Morning Star!' Also 2Peter 1:1-19] see the note at the end of chapter 9 of Revelation.) And He overpowered the Dragon, in its every disguise as the old Serpent in the garden of Genesis('s record in chapter 3), also called the Devil, or going under the name, Satan, and chained him up for a thousand years. (From King David to Jesus was a thousand years! Rev. 3:7, 'I hold the key of David' as prophesied by Isaiah in 22:22! Yes, I unlock the mystery of the heavenly dimension and no one can shut the door! And I lock the entrance and none [of the old corrupted mindset, the result of the fall]can access it!'

"The Secrets of GOD," as revealed by John in the Revealtion of Christ, chapter 19's hidden insights, part 4m of 4, with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.
How fitting is that, we are in the last of the note of the Lake of Fire and the Second Death as propagated by man's religion and its religious systems all based on falsehoods of hearsay's, traditions and rituals, by our not only lifting it's veil but removing it all together. Even the mysteries/secrets of GOD set in the often hidden and unknown to the persons of unredeemed mindset. In part "4m" of the final note.
The Lake of Fire and the Second Death:
1Thessalonians 4:13-18, "I do not want to be ignorant concerning those who seem to be fast asleep in their indifference and unbelief. There is no need for you to grieve as if they are beyond hope! (see 1Cor. 15:15, [1]Ponder this mystery, I want to show you something that you have never seen before: [2]everyone will awaken out of sleep, we will [3] all experience exactly the same change ("GOD has only One Way for us all" our sister blog post) In other word, [1]idou musterion, Look! A Mystery! And [2]pantes ou koimethesometha, means no one will sleep; And [3]pantes de allangesometha; everyone will be changed.) We believe that Jesus died and rose again, and that He fully represents and includes even those who have not awakened to Him yet. GOD will [1]lead them to realize that they are in Jesus. (The word, [1, G71] ego means to lead as a Shepherd leads his sheep. see 1Cor. 1:30, Eph. 1:4.) We give voice to the word of the LORD: We are GOD's wake-up call to them that are asleep (held as in being memorized, under a trance as hypnotizes)! We are exhibiting the [1]immediate tangible presence of the LORD and shall not [2]exclude them! (The word, [1, G3952] parousia means immediate presence. See comment on 1The. 2:19. See the use of the word, [2, G5348] phthano, to prevent, to hinder or exclude, also in 2Cor. 10:14, "Our ministry to you is proof that there are no geographic limitations which could possibly exclude you from the gospel of Jesus Christ!" See also 1The. 3:12, "We can already see how the LORD causes the agape we have for you to dynamically impact each of you and burst its banks to flood the entire world!" The people who dwelt in darkness have seen a great light! The true light that enlightens everyone has come! And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together!") The LORD will personally step out of the invisible heavenly realm into our immediate visible horizon with an including shout, announcing His triumphant reign in the trumpet-like billowing voice of GOD; And even the dead will rise from their sleep, since they too are included in Christ (the likeness of Gen. 1:26-27, Ps 8:6)! In the wake of their arising we will all be gathered into a large dense multitude of an innumerable throng of people, united as one, like the particles of water in a cloud, and we will encounter the LORD in the very air we breathe and so shall we continually celebrate our I-am-ness in our union with Him. (This is the moment redemption declares, where Deity and humanity are married again. The Bride and her Groom are unveiled! Being One.) The fact that we are all deeply connected in the same source of our 'beingness' causes us to be constantly engaged in this conversation with one another."
When Mother Teresa was asked what motivated her to go out into the streets of Calcutta in the odd hours of the night, her reply revealed her mission, "I go to my LORD in His most disturbing disguises!" (The Mirror, with editing.)
Now may the LORD reawaken us all, each new day.

"The Secrets of GOD," as revealed by John in the Revealtion of Christ, chapter 19's hidden insights, part 4l of 4, with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.
We are reaching the close of the notes on the Lake of Fire and the Second Death of Revelation 19's record. We are about to look into John's account of the final days as more of the Gentiles come to see the man Jesus all being a sign to Him that His own days are numbered.
The Lake of Fire and the Second Death:
John 12:19-25, 1Thessalonians 2:19, "The Pharisees were perplexed about this (Jesus had just entered Jerusalem seated on a colt for the feast, which caused the crowds to go wild) and said, "Look, we are gaining no ground against him! The entire world is running after him!" There were also a number of Greeks who come to worship at the feast because of the rumor they had heard. They approached Phillip who was from Bethsaiad in Galilee and asked him, "Sir, we would be delighted to see Jesus. Is there perhaps any chance that you could introduce us to Him?" (He had a Greek name and the Greeks may have seen Phillip in Galilee where there were many Greeks.) Phillip went and told Andrew and the two of them told Jesus. Jesus, immediately understood the prophetic significance of the moment, knew that He, the Messiah, was who all the nations were longing for and answered, 'The hour is Here for the Son of man to be glorified! [Jesus studied Scripture as in a mirror - He knew that "in the book, it is written about Me!" Haggai 2:7 and the desire of the nations shall come....see Col. 1:27] Most certainly shall the single grain of wheat fall into the ground and die - if it doesn't die it remains alone - but in its death it produces much fruit. To hold on desperately to a mere life defines a soulish realm is to lose it; But to abandon the soul life is to substitute it for the real deal is to observe your spiritual life which is the life of the ages.'"
1Thessalonians 2:19 of 17-20, "We were only briefly separated from you in person but never in our hearts. This has caused us to yearn with greater expectancy to see you face to face again! On two occasions I was restrained from coming to you. We expect nothing less in the context of the gospel than you enjoying a face to face encounter in the [1]immediate presence of our LORD Jesus Christ! This is our delight and wreath of honor! (The word, [1, G3952 comes from the present participle of G3918 pareimi, to be near, from G3844 and G1510 ] parousia speaks of the immediate presence of the LORD! Is from (G3844) para, a preposition indicating close proximity, a thing proceeding from a sphere of influence, with a suggestion of a strong union, of place residence, to have sprung from its author and giver, originating from, denoting the point from which an action originates, intimate connection (Prov. 18:24); and (G1510) eimi, 'I AM'! There is not even a hint of judgment or punishment in this word! Please do not believe everything you read in Strong's! "G3952 parousia; is from the present Participle of G3918, a being near, that is, advent, often translated return, specifically of Christ to punish Jerusalem, or finally the religious wicked." !!???) You are our trophy and joy!" (The Mirror, with editing.)
Until our next visit, may the LORD of All be with both you and yours through these times.

"The Secrets of GOD," as revealed by John in the Revealtion of Christ, chapter 19's hidden insights, part 4k of 4, with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.
We are about to look at John 6 for what the Lord Jesus said as John recorded almost first hand. Remember that Matthew spoke from one angel, Luke and Mark both from a different perspective all designed to bring a true and accurate portal of the man Jesus. John walked with Paul during much of his ministry and therefore saw what the others did not but heard second hand. Lifting and removing the veil of confusion and misdirection from the Scriptures.
The Lake of Fire and the Second Death:
John 6:32-45, "Jesus reminds the Jews that, 'it wasn't Moses who gave them the bread from heaven - My Father is the one who gives the real bread from heaven! For the bread from GOD that comes down from heaven is that which gives life to the entire world! (Mankind is designed, not to define life by the bread-harvest of their (the first law/curse) labor, but by daily feasting on every Word that proceeds from GOD's mouth, mirrored in its most complete language, the Incarnation within them. The Hebrew word [Isaiah 55:11] translated, every, (H3605) כֹּל, kol, from (H3634) כָּלַל, kâlal, mean complete - thus, the word in its most complete context, which is the Incarnation, the Word that is face to face before GOD from before time was, is Now made flesh, radiating the invisible Father's character and image in our human form, as in a mirror! The incarnation is the global language of the Planet! Paul says in 2Cor. 3:2-3, The living Epistle is known and read by all mankind in their mother-tongue language.) They said, "Oh Lord, this is the bread we crave! Give us this bread!" (see notes on John 12, verse 19-25, "Look! The entire world is running after Him!" He is indeed the desire of the Nations!) To this Jesus said, 'I am the bread of life! He that comes face to face with Me shall never hunger and he who finds his faith in Me shall never thirst! But even though you have seen Me, you are not persuaded. (You might be happy with the healings and be entertained by the signs, but still you fail to understand who I am! I'm not here to impress you with Me! I'm here to persuade you about you! Your sonship is what I am all about! And the only way that I can persuade you about you is to take you with Me into your death and darkness and overcome your fear and hell and birth you again into newness of life in My resurrection!) Everyone whom the Father has given Me (in Psalm 2:8 and Hos. 6:2)will come [1]face to face with Me! And here, mirrored in Me they will see that I am not the Judge! I will not cast anyone out! (The preposition (G4314) pros, is used here again as in John 1:1) For I have stepped down out of heaven, not to make a name for Myself! I did not come to become a mere historic hero! I have come to communicate the resolve of Him who sent Me! (I am here to demonstrate to you how persuaded My Father is about you!) My Sender's desire is for Me to rescue every single individual - [1]this is His gift to Me - that I will lose [2]no detail of humanity's original identity mirrored in Me! My rescuing mission will conclude in their joint-resurrection (this is the new birthing from above)! This is the completeness of time! (This is His gift to Me,' (repeating Ps 2:8 & Hos. 6:2); [1] ho dedoke moi . The phrase, [2] hina pan apoleso ex auto, means, that I should lose nothing out of it. In the eschatology/conclusion/fullness of time - [3] te eschate hemera - This phrase occurs only in John - John 6:39, 40, 44, 54. Also John 4:23, The end of an era has arrived - the future is Here NOW! Whatever prophetic values were expressed in external devotional forms and rituals are Now eclipsed in true spirit worship from within - face to face with Father - acknowledging our genesis in Him - this is His delight! The Father's desire is the worshiper more than the worship!) And this is the desire of My Father, that everyone who [1]sees the Son, through His eyes, and finds the conclusion of (eis) their persuasion in Him, will resonate (echo) the life of the ages! And I will [2]raise him up in the [3] final day!' (The word, [1, G2334 ] theoreo, means to gaze attentively, to discern more clearly. See Hosea 6:2, "After two days He will revive us; [2]on the third day He will raise us up, that we may live before Him." The word, [3, G2078] eschatos means extreme, last in time or in space; the uttermost part, the final conclusion (to be in Him means that we hold within us the end of that prior era and the beginning in the present the eternal age). What GOD said about 'you-manity' in their co-resurrection in Jesus, defines eschatology! Heb. 1:1-3, Eph. 2:5-6. see notes on Rev. 20:5, and the First Resurrection.) The religious Jews were no longer paying any attention - they were shocked and offended at the idea the He said He was the bread from heaven! They reasoned that since they knew His parents to be Joseph and Mary, He had no valid claim to any heavenly Source! Then Jesus addressed them again saying, 'Your murmuring and reasoning amongst yourselves will continue to veil Me from you. (Knowing Me from a human point of view will not satisfy your quest.) No one is forcing you to believe - it is the Father who sent Me who draws you to see Me [1]face to face - only once you've seen how in the mystery of GOD I mirror you, will you understand that I will co-raise you in the grand-finale of My mission! (The word, [1, G4314 ] pros is used again, in front of, face to face. This happened exactly as Hosea prophesied 800 BC, "After two days He would revive us! On the third day, He would raise us up!") It is written in the Prophets that every single individual will be taught of GOD. To hear the Father's instructions concerning Me, is to come [1]face to face with Me!' " (The word, [1, G4314] pros is used again, verifying its importance. See Isaiah 54:13, Jeremiah 31:34, " 'And no longer shall each man teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying "Know the LORD," for they shall all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest, say the LORD; For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more!' " Micah 4:1-4.) (The Mirror, with editing)
Now may the LORD bring His understanding within us all. Be so blessed by Him.

The Father's desire is the worshiper more than the worship!) And this is the desire of My Father, that everyone who [1]sees the Son, through His eyes, and finds the conclusion of (eis) their persuasion in Him, will resonate (echo) the life of the ages! And I will [2]raise him up in the [3] final day!' (The word, [1, G2334 ] theoreo, means to gaze attentively, to discern more clearly. See Hosea 6:2, "After two days He will revive us; [2]on the third day He will raise us up, that we may live before Him." The word, [3, G2078] eschatos means extreme, last in time or in space; the uttermost part, the final conclusion (to be in Him means that we hold within us the end of that prior era and the beginning in the present the eternal age). What GOD said about 'you-manity' in their co-resurrection in Jesus, defines eschatology! Heb. 1:1-3, Eph. 2:5-6. see notes on Rev. 20:5, and the First Resurrection.) The religious Jews were no longer paying any attention - they were shocked and offended at the idea the He said He was the bread from heaven! They reasoned that since they knew His parents to be Joseph and Mary, He had no valid claim to any heavenly Source! Then Jesus addressed them again saying, 'Your murmuring and reasoning amongst yourselves will continue to veil Me from you. (Knowing Me from a human point of view will not satisfy your quest.) No one is forcing you to believe - it is the Father who sent Me who draws you to see Me [1]face to face - only once you've seen how in the mystery of GOD I mirror you, will you understand that I will co-raise you in the grand-finale of My mission! (The word, [1, G4314 ] pros is used again, in front of, face to face. This happened exactly as Hosea prophesied 800 BC, "After two days He would revive us! On the third day, He would raise us up!") It is written in the Prophets that every single individual will be taught of GOD. To hear the Father's instructions concerning Me, is to come [1]face to face with Me!' " (The word, [1, G4314] pros is used again, verifying its importance. See Isaiah 54:13, Jeremiah 31:34, " 'And no longer shall each man teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying "Know the LORD," for they shall all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest, say the LORD; For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more!' " Micah 4:1-4.) (The Mirror, with editing)
Now may the LORD bring His understanding within us all. Be so blessed by Him.

"The Secrets of GOD," as revealed by John in the Revealtion of Christ, chapter 19's hidden insights, part 4j of 4, with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.
We are currently doing a deep investigative look into the New Testament Scriptures that relate to Revelation 19's Lake of Fire and the Second Death. Used by many religious groups, sects and denominations as a means of 1/ building membership, 2/ keeping that membership in line, 3/ having a revival or family homecoming, 4/ of raising large sums of money for building funds and the like. Some as a means of spreading felonious attempts to promote their version of Bible Scriptures and the like. We are with the LORD's help removing the veil that has covered humanity's wayward thinking of a false mindset form the early days of human history and religious beliefs on all levels. This sprang up first in Genesis 3 and has move on down through the ages since then under cover of darkness and persuasion of outer influences like the false trinity that was defeated on the Cross and paraded through Jerusalem early the morning of the resurrection by Jesus the Christ of GOD. The instrument that GOD promised humanity that He would do in Genesis 3:15. All this to return humanity's original identity to GOD's identity of sonship and union in this true redeemed identity.
The Lake of Fire and the Second Death:
2Corinthions 13:5, "I implore you to [1]examine faith for yourselves in order to test what it is that you really believe. Faith is so much more than the mere veneer of a superstitious belief in a historic Christ; Faith is about realizing Jesus Christ in you, in the midst of all contradiction! Just [2]as ore is placed into a crucible, where the dross is separated from the pure gold in a furnace, come to the conclusion for yourselves of His indwelling! Should it appear to you that Christ is absent in your life, look again, you have obviously done the test wrong!" ( You cannot measure temperature with a ruler! Paul uses the word, [1, G3985, from G3984 peira, from the base of G4008 peran, to pierce through, ] peiratzo, to examine closely, which is from (G3984 from the base of G4008) peira, to pierce, a test to determine the hidden value of something; Also from the word peras, which speaks of extremity or the furthest boundary, to scrutinize closely. Faith is not a veneer to cover up potential depression or disappointments when faced with trying times! Note Paul is not speaking about us putting our beliefs to the test; But we are testing the faith for ourselves! There is only one valid faith, it is not what we believe about God or about ourselves, but what GOD believes about us! Paul wants us to discover for ourselves what GOD believes about you! GOD is already persuaded about Christ's indwelling you/us, Now He and Paul wants us to be equally persuaded! Then Paul uses the word, [2, G1381 from G1384] dokimatzo, as in the testing of metals. Self-examination has nothing to do with finding hidden sins and flaws in us; It is all about our realizing Christ in you/us! The object of the furnace is not to reveal the dross, but the gold! Christ (rhema) Himself is the proof of faith, He is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1.
The test of truth is foolproof! See verse 8, Truth is not threatened by our scrutiny! It is strengthening it!
See also 2Corinthians 4:18...7, "We are not keeping any score of what seems so obvious to the senses on the surface, it is fleeting and irrelevant; It is the unseen eternal within us that has our full attention and captivates our gaze!...We have discovered this treasure where it was hidden all along, in these frail skin-suits made of clay."
1Corinthians 1:6, "You certainly have the testimony of Christ evidenced in you." (You possess full knowledge and give full expression because in you the evidence for the truth of Christ has found confirmation. NEB)
1Peter 1:7, "This will help you in those difficult times: think of your belief as something much more precious than any possible evaluation of gold; Remember that fire does not destroy the metal, it reveals it! Now even gold is an inferior comparison to faith! Gold as a currency has only temporal and unpredictable value; It fluctuates as the market changes. Now, in the same way that fire reveals and gives much reason to testimony [1]stories worth telling. This is what has permanent [2]value, and exhibits the glory of Christ within you!" (The word translated as praise, [1, G1868 from G1909 and the base of G134 ] epainos, a commendable thing, has two components, (G1909) epi, meaning continual influence upon, and (G134) ainos, which often reflects a story worth telling; The word, [2, G5092 from G5099 tinō] timay, honor, suggests a valuing by which the price is fixed, then paid.)
John 5:27-29, " 'The Father has also given the son of man [1] authentic authority to execute judgment on humanity's behalf! (The word, [1, G1849, from 1832 exesti, from a third person singular present indicative of a compound of G1537 and G1510] exousia, is often translated as authority has two components, (G1537) ek, out of source and (G1510) eimi, I am!) Do not be alarmed by this, but the hour is coming when those in the [1]grave will hear His voice! (No-one who ever lived will escape this extent of His righteous judgment! Those who have [1]forgotten who they are will hear His incarnate voice! The word for grace, [1, G3419 from G3420, mnēmē, memory] mnemeion, means memory, suggests a remembrance! Like David prophesied in Psalm 22, when he saw the cross-crisis [krisis - judgment] a thousand years before it happened! His conclusion in verse 27 sums up the triumph of GOD's resolve! "All the ends of the earth shall [1]remember and turn to the LORD; And all the families of the nations shall worship before Him!" See 1Corinthians 15:21-22, The same humanity who died in a man was raised again in a man. In Adam all died; In Christ all are made alive! Hosea 6:1-3) And they will come forth out of their graves - for those who have engaged themselves with that which is beneficial, it will be a resurrection to life - and for those who have done that which is worthless, it will be a resurrection for judgment.' " (In the context of John chapter 6:28 and 29, the work that is required is not a duty to be performed but a gift to be embraced; They immediately wanted the recipe! Tell us then want we must do in order to accomplish GOD's work? This is the work of GOD; Your belief in the One Whom He has sent! [Gen. 3:15, Deu.18:15, 17-19, 20-22] (Even your ability to believe is GOD's work! Realizing your authentic sonship on exhibit in Jesus is GOD's gift to you and cannot be earned! How can your labor compete with what GOD's rest celebrates as complete! [Gen. 2:1-3, 7])
If our own good behavior could earn us salvation then there would be no point in Jesus' dying our death! - This would be in direct conflict with the essence and crux of the gospel! it should remind us of 2Corinthians 5:10, which reads in the RSV as follows: "For we must all [1]appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive good or evil, according to what he has done in the body!" Now read this same verse in the Mirror Bible - "For we have all been thoroughly [1]scrutinized in the judgment of Jesus. We are taken care of and restored to the life of our design, regardless of what happened to us in our individual lives, whatever amazing or meaningless things we encountered in this body." The word, [15319] phaneroo, means to render apparent, to openly declare, to manifest. Paul used the Aorist Passive Infinitive tense phanerothenai, not referring to a future event (as pushed by religion). The Aorist Passive Infinitive presents the action expressed by the verb as a completed unit with a beginning and end. The word, bematos, comes from bayma, meaning footprint, also referring to a raised place mounted by steps, or a tribunal, the official seat of a judge.Our next word of interest is komitzo, it comes from (G2865) kolumbos, meaning to tend, to take care of, to provide for, to carry off from harm. Paul's reference was not about how much abuse and affliction he suffered (as taught under religions influence), neither was it the many good times he remembered that defined him; "I am what I am by the grace of GOD!" If we are still to be judged for good or bad deeds that we performed in the body, then the judgment that Jesus faced on humanity's behalf was irrelevant. Galatians 2:21, I do not set aside the grace of GOD, for if righteousness could be gained through the Law, Christ died for nothing! NIV [see also 2Cor. 5:14-16, "We are mirrored in His life; His life reflects ours, not as an example for us but of us." As well as 2Corinthians 3:18, "The days of window-shopping are over! Now, with unveiled faces we are gazing at the glory of the LORD as in a mirror and metaphor - image and likeness awakens within us.])
In their encounter of the risen Jesus, hidden from them at first, on their way from Jerusalem to Emmaus, their response revealed the impact of the conversation Jesus had when He pointed to Himself in Scripture - in the writings of Moses and the prophets - suddenly, familiar text lit up in their hearts! "Did not our hearts ignite within us!" When the "Stronger" joined them that evening around the dinner table, He took bread and broke it, and their eyes were opened and they recognized Him! Every meal celebrates the Incarnation!) (The Mirror, with editing.)
Now may the LORD again bless us all with His knowledge as required. May His light be our guide. In our next visit we shall begin with John 6 in this study.

"The Secrets of GOD," as revealed by John in the Revealtion of Christ, chapter 19's hidden insights, part 4i of 4, with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.
We are currently in a deep investigation look into the Lake of Fire and the Second Death as spoken of by John in chapter 19 of his Revelation (revealing) of all things Christ, the Jewish Messiah. And by this action breaking up the false and felonious notations and misdirection's of religions teachings or doctrines. All done by wolves in sheep's clothing, by those who enter the sheepfold another way, than by that of Simon Bar Jonah's, the thief who hung to the right with Jesus or Saul of Tarsus's.
The Lake of Fire and the Second Death:
2Corintihans 3:4, "Christ Jesus is proof of our persuasion about us/you before GOD."
2Corinthians 1:18-19; 5:14, 16, "GOD's certainty is our persuasion; There is no maybe in Him! The Son of GOD, Jesus Christ, whom, I, Paul, Sylvanus and Timothy boldly announce in you, is GOD's ultimate YES! to humanity. Jesus is GOD's YES to YOU! Human life is associated in all that He is. In GOD's mind, there exists not even a hint of hesitation about this!...I am convinced that if one died, then all died! Therefore, from Now on, I no longer know anyone from a human point of view!" (see also Gal. 1:16 and Col. 1:27)
John 14:20; Gal. 1:16, (Jesus is speaking openly here), "'In That day you will know that I am in My Father, you are in Me and I am in you!' (Note that it is not our knowing that positions Jesus in the Father or us in Them, or the Spirit of Christ in us! Our knowing simply awakens us (as it did the thief who hung to the right of Jesus and that hour met Him in Abraham's bosom) to the reality of our redeemed oneness! Gold does not become gold when it is discovered but it certainly becomes currency!)...This is the heart of the gospel that I proclaim; It began with an unveiling of His Son [1]in me, freeing me to announce the same sonship [2]in the masses of non-Jewish people. I felt no immediate urgency to compare notes with those who were familiar with Christ from a mere historic point of view." (The Greek text is quite clear: "It pleased the Father to reveal His Son in me in order that I may proclaim His in the Nations!" The words, [1, G1722 G1698] en emoi, translate as "in me" and (G1722 [the, G3588] G1484) en ethnos, translates as in the Gentile nations, or the masses of non Jewish people! Not "among" the Gentiles as most translations have it. Later, when Barnabus is sent to investigate the conversion of the Greeks in Acts 11, instead of reporting his findings to HQ in Jerusalem, he immediately sought Paul, knowing that Paul's gospel is the revelation of the mystery of Christ in the Nations [see Col. 1:27]. No wonder then that believers were the first to be called "Christians," or Christ-like the Anointed ones! my how things have changed! If they are no one would know it, today.)
Jesus Christ confirms that the son of man is the son of GOD. (did you get that?) "Call no man your father on earth, for you have only one Father who is in heaven." [Mat. 23:9] Paul reminds the Greek philosophers in Acts 17, that we live and move and have our being in GOD; humanity is indeed the offspring of GOD! He is quoting from their own writings, Epimenedes 600 BC. The incorruptible seed of our sonship is as much present in every person as the seed is already in all soil, even in the desert, waiting for the (grace) rains to awaken (light from above) and ignite its life!
"'For as the rain and snow come down from heaven and waters the earth, making it bring forth and sprout, so shall My word (grace/faith) be that proceeds from My mouth, it shall not disappoint My purpose, it shall saturate the soil (soul/heart of man) and cause it to bring forth and sprout. Instead of the thorn the cyprus and instead of the briers the myrtle!'" (Isaiah 55:8-11, 13)
In Matthew 13:44, Jesus says that the kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in an agricultural field! There is more to the field than what meets the eye!
In 2Corinthians 4:4, 7, Paul says that we have this treasure in (our) earthen vessels! But the god of this world has blindfolded our minds through unbelief [believing the first lie about ourselves, portrayed in Num. 13:33] to keep us from seeing the light of the gospel revealing the glory of GOD in the face of Christ who is the image (no longer the shadow figure of the image, Gen. 1:26 the secret of Deu. 29:29) of GOD, as in a mirror!
When Jesus spoke of the sinners he spoke of Himself as a lost sheep, coin, or son. [Luke 15] You cannot be lost unless you belong! The inscription and the image did not disappear from the coin when it was lost. How can we praise GOD and with the same mouth curse a person made in His image? (Today we both see and hear this all the time from the elected and news medias.) [James 3:9 and Luke 20:20-26] Humanity has forgotten what manner of people they are by design; We are the image and likeness bearers of our Maker; This is exactly what Jesus came to reveal and redeem.
We may now behold His with unveiled faces as in a mirror and be immediately transformed [in our understanding] (no repentance required, just a broken/contriteness of heart, of penitence) into His likeness. From glory [opinion] of the flesh to the glory [opinion] of GOD. Legalistic religion kept the veil in place (like a heavy fire blanket, that smothers a flame); The proclaiming of our liberating truth of the Good News, removes this veil! The "ugly duckling" didn't need a face-lift or lessons on how to fake the swan within life! It only needed to know the truth about itself to be free indeed!) (The Mirror, with editing.)
Now may our LORD make His presence known within us all, until our next visit be well and full of His light.

We may now behold His with unveiled faces as in a mirror and be immediately transformed [in our understanding] (no repentance required, just a broken/contriteness of heart, of penitence) into His likeness. From glory [opinion] of the flesh to the glory [opinion] of GOD. Legalistic religion kept the veil in place (like a heavy fire blanket, that smothers a flame); The proclaiming of our liberating truth of the Good News, removes this veil! The "ugly duckling" didn't need a face-lift or lessons on how to fake the swan within life! It only needed to know the truth about itself to be free indeed!) (The Mirror, with editing.)
Now may our LORD make His presence known within us all, until our next visit be well and full of His light.

"The Secrets of GOD," as revealed by John in the Revealtion of Christ, chapter 19's hidden insights, part 4h of 4, with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.
We are well into a deep investigation into discovering the hidden things of the Lake of Fire and the Second Death, of Revelation 19.
The Lake of Fire and the Second Death:
Revelation 17:8, "The brutal Beast you saw is a [1]"has been" from the beginning - it indeed had no real existence - yet it seemed to make "a come back" as if emerging out of the Abyss only to dissolve again into perdition. Meanwhile the minds of those blinded by their [2]earthbound perceptions continue to be mesmerized by its apparent relevance. They are the ones whose identities are not [3]based in the Lamb's Book of Life. They do not yet see that their original identity was redeemed in the Lamb." (The words [1] en kai ouk esti, means, to be and not to be; With the verb (G2258, Imperfect of G1510) en, meaning agree, being the Imperfect Indicative of (G1510) eimi, means, I exist, I am - another meaning of the imperfect indicative is to refer to unreal (counterfactual) situations in present or past time.
This is in total contrast to the One who is I am; Who always was and will continually be the accompanying One. An antithesis to "ho en kai ho on" of Rev. 1:4.)
In the symbolic language of the Book of Revelation, the judgment of the Dragon, the Beast and the Whore; These three are the Counterfeit Trinity of religions disguise; Is a judgment against this entity, against this corrupted mindset-system. They (these three) are like a virus, that 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 they can do nothing until they entire a living cell. Without cells, viruses would not be able to multiply. Therefore, viruses are not living things." It has been found that sun light dissolves a virus, this proven out in Scripture.)
Ephesians 6:12, "People are not the enemy, [whether they be husbands, wives, children, or parents, slaves, or bosses. They might host, law inspired thought patterns through their unbelief or ignorance but,] to target one another is to engage in the wrong combat. We represent the authority of the victory of Christ in the spiritual realm. We are positioned there [in Christ]; We [1]confront the mind games and [2]structures of darkness, religious thought patterns, governing and condition human behavior." (The word, [1, G4314 ] pros, means face to face, before, towards. The word, [2, G4190 part of G4189 ponēria] poneros, is often translated as evil; this word is described in Thayer's Lexicon: as full of annoyances, hardships and labor, which is exactly what the DIY Law-system of works produces!)
1Corinthians 15:24, "The complete conclusion in His work of Redemption is celebrated in His yielding the full harvest of His reign to GOD the Father, having [1]brought to naught the law of works which supported every definition of dominion under the fall, including all [2]principalities, all [3]authority and every [4]dynamic influence in society." (Jesus brought to naught the law of works (a punishment for Adam's disobedience*, Gen. 3:16, 17-19), [1, G2673 from G2596 and G691;] katargeo, to neutralize totally, to end, from (G2596) kata, intensity, and (G692) argos, meaning labor; Thus free from all self-effort the curse of Gen. 3, (this Jesus demonstrated in His wonders and miracles, during His mission); the counterfeit of religion it to attempt to improve what GOD has already perfected in Christ. All principalities, [2, G746 from G756 archomai to rehearse from the beginning] arche, a commencement, or (concrete) chief, i.e., kings, governors, this includes any governing system whereby one is ranked above the other on the bases of their performance or preference. All authority, [3, G1849 from G1832 exesti, a compound of G1537 and G1510] exousia, comes from (G1537) ek, denoting origin and (G1510) eimi, I am; In this case, because of what I can do I am defined by what I can do better than you; Therefore, I have authority over you. Every dynamic influence in society, [4, G1411] dunamis, means power, in this case, willpower. Every religious or government structure in society will be brought under the dominion of grace where the Christ life rules.
The kingdom of GOD is the authority of the Christ life in ordinary, day to day life, where righteousness is based on who we are and not on who we are trying to impress. The law of works is duty and guilt driven, whereas the law of Faith is Agape driven. [Rom. 3:27, Gal. 5:6. Also 2Corinthians 10:12, "When they measure themselves by one another, competing and comparing, they are without understanding.")
It is most significant to consider Paul's reasoning when he declared, "I have determined to know nothing within you, except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified!" 1Corinthians 2:2, "My [1]mind is fully made up about you! The only possible way in which I can truly [2]know you, is in the light of GOD's mystery, which is [3]Christ in you! Jesus died humanity's death on the cross and thus brought final closure to any other basis of [1]judgment!" (The word, [1, G2919] krino, to judge, to determine, to deem in a forensic sense, here, in the Aorist Tense, ekrina, which suggests a once and for all completed act. The Aorist tense presents an occurrence in summary, viewed as a whole from the outside, almost like a snapshot of the action. Paul makes a very bold and radical statement, confirming his ministry focus to "know" the full scope and consequence of the revelation of mankind's redeemed innocence as communicated in the cross of Jesus Christ! This is the essence of the mystery of GOD! "For I determined to [2]know [-2 eido, to see, to perceive] nothing in you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified." Paul continues to unfold the mystery of our redeemed oneness! In the previous chapter, he concluded that we are in Christ by GOD's doing; Here he clearly points to [3] Christ in us! [As Jesus declared in John 14:20.]) (The Mirror, with editing.)
Over the past years of this blog we have by the LORD's leading been doing an in-depth investigation, into GOD's revealed thoughts, that others thoughts and teachings have failed to bring point home, often by missing the mark. Until our next visit the LORD willing may He do as we have been doing under Him. [* this law could well be the belief system of Jewish origin where there would be 10 kingdoms to come with GOD's being the first and last and the Messiah's being the 9th after which He would give His to GOD.]

"The Secrets of GOD," as revealed by John in the Revealtion of Christ, chapter 19's hidden insights, part 4g of 4, with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.
We are deep into our discovery of the secrets of the Lake of Fire and the Second Death that have plagued mankind of the religious world for centuries, now, with all kinds of vain imagery and even more falsehoods as they struggled for understanding and clarity. These things were a bother for the unknowing and dare I say, those of a wrong mindset, not having the inspiration of a redeemed born from above spirit and mind within them.
The Lake of Fire and The Second Death:
Revelation 2:23, (Jesus is speaking here) 'The offspring of these "mindsets," conceived in our licentious idolatry have no future! I will cause it [1]to utterly perish! And every Ekklesia shall [2]know that I scrutinize the hidden thoughts of the heart. And I will expose every single work of your own doing as judged in My work.' (See verse 26 - 'My works verses your works. To [1, G615 apokteinō, to outright destroy] kill by death, is a very strong expression, apokteuno en thanato. The symbolic signification of killing the children of the church's idolatrous adultery by death can only be understood in the context of the unveiling of Jesus the Christ who already died humanity's once for all death and in that death brought final closure for the offspring of humanity's guilt-ridden mindset that we have inherited from our worldly world systems which were founded in the fruit of the "I-am-not-tree" system of Genesis 3. He thus broke the spell/curse of the claim of judgment, born of this system, and death over the Adamic race. This signifies the death of death. The significance of the implications of Jesus' death cannot be exaggerated! It reaches into the entire past, present and future of human existence and history! The word [2] ginosontai, is the future ingressive punctiliar middle voice of (G1097) ginosko, "we shall come to know," this confirms the theme of the book of Revelation! The unveiling of Jesus Christ and His finished work will most definitely complete GOD's purpose of redeeming humanity's lost sense of sonship, value, innocence, identity and royalty in the earth!)
Revelation 21:8, "The fear-driven and unbelieving, those having become rotten to their core; sex peddlers and sorcerers, idolaters and deceivers, their measure is the Lake burning with brimstone; This is the second death."
Romans 6:11, "This reasoning is equally relevant to you. [1] Calculate the cross; There can only be one logical conclusion: He died our death; That means we died to sin, and are Now alive to/with GOD! Sin-consciousness can never again feature in our future! We are Now in Christ Jesus (included, seen by GOD as One being, in His and our Humanity, Eph. 4:2-6); His Lordship is the authority of this Union." (We are not being presumptuous nor are we exaggerating, by reason that we are in Christ, Christ-One's! "Reckon yourselves therefore dead to sin!" The word, [1, G3049] logitsomai, means to calculate, take inventory of, to which there can only be one logical conclusion. [see Eph. 1:4 and 1Cor. 1:30])
Philippians 2:9-11, "And so we have the drama of the cross in context: the man Jesus Christ who is fully GOD, became fully man (human) to the extent of willingly dying humanity's death at the hands of His own creation. He embraced the curse and shame of the lowest kind in dying a criminal's death. (Thus, through the (every narrow door of Mat. 4:17) 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. (Eph. 1:20-21, "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 heavens. Jesus is GOD's right hand power! (The Jewish Jehovah of old) He was raised up from the deepest dungeons of human despair to the highest region of heavenly bliss! [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 this age or any age still to come in the eternal future. The name of Jesus endorses His mission as fully accomplished! He is the Savior of the world!" Titus 2:11, "The grace of GOD shines as bright as day making the salvation of humanity undeniably visible." See Eph. 3:15, "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.) 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 the Father of creation! This is the ultimate conclusion of the Father's [1]intent!" (The word, [1, G1391 from the base of G1380 dokeō, a prolonged form of a primary verb δόκω dokō, to be held to account] doxa, intent, opinion, 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 with one voice, "To Him who sits upon the Throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor and glory and might for ever and ever!" Look for the notes on Romans 14:11. Paul, here quoted Isaiah 45:23, look at verses 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 own invention of 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 word (H76590 a primitive root; properly to be complete), שָׁבַע Shaba means to seven oneself, that is, swear - thus in the Hebrew mind, by repeating a declaration seven times one brings and end to all dispute! See also Heb. 6:13, 16-17.) (The Mirror, with editing.)
Until our next visit, the LORD willing, when we shall begin with a return look at Revelation 17, may the LORD of ALL increase our comprehension of all that is Him. The mighty unseen unknown "Ish" of Israel.

"The Secrets of GOD," as revealed by John in the Revealtion of Christ, chapter 19's hidden insights, part 4f of 4, with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.
Today's post begins with a look at the times of evil the likes of which have not been known by humanity since the early days before recorded history began. When fallen angles dwelled with the sons of man or so it goes. These were the meths and legends of the old Jewish belief systems. Most of these meths and legends are nothing more than wrong mindset of mankind's corrupted reasoning's. As the fruit and seed of the knowledge of good and evil tree. Now today with what it playing out before our eyes one would soon think that China is such a tool of Satan.
The Lake of Fire and the Second Death:
Revelation 20:8-15, "And his (Satanas) obvious strategy would by to deceive the Nations on a global scale including "the four corners of the earth" by assembling Gog and Magog in war; Their number is as the sands of the sea. (Again, every traditional Jewish concept of judgment is addressed. Gog and Magog is now brought into the conversation, since Jewish eschatology viewed Gog and Magog as enemies to be defeated by the Messiah, which will usher in the age of the Messiah. Eldad and Modad [brothers of Moses] both prophesied together, and said, "In the very end of time Gog and Magog and their armies shall come up against Jerusalem, and they shall fall by the hand of the King Messiah; They shall be slain by the flame of fire which shall proceed from under the Throne of glory, and afterwards all the dead of Israel shall rise again to life, and shall enjoy the delights prepared for them from the beginning." This quoted from the Jewish Targum. See Numbers 11:26 and Ezekiel 38:17.
There are numeral references to the same "once and for all war" in the heavens! It is however the same hour; The same event! Rev. 12:7, 16:13-14, 17:13-14, and 19:19.) They will spread across the earth and attempt to neutralize the "Queen Bee Bride" of the Lamb by surrounding and besieging GOD's Saints in the beloved city. Then fire will pour out of heaven and consume them. (Here again, the mindsets of Satanic accusation, fear of judgment are made a meal of - yet another reference to the great supper-feast celebrating the New Covenant and the conclusion of the Old. The fire from the altar of the slain Lamb of GOD consumes every definition of Israel's and indeed, mankind's perceived imagined enemies.) The Devil, who led them astray will be hurled into the Lake of Fire and Brimstone where his puppet partners, the Beast and the False Prophet have already settled in being there confined. Day and Night they will be the subject of GOD's touchstone for the ages - the very atmosphere of the entire universe will be thoroughly fumigated from any evidence of Satanas. And I saw a huge white Throne and it was as if heaven and earth fled away from the presence of the One seated upon the Throne and its place was never found again. (This means that there is no fear or accusation in the heavens or upon the earth that could possibly stand in the presence of the Lamb, the One seated upon the Throne of the judgment of righteousness ---- His Throne gives testimony to humanity's redeemed acquittal! See Hebrews 1:3, "Having made purification for (humanity's) sins He sat down!" There exists no evidence that could be brought from any sphere or dimension that could possibly testify against the human race - Acts 17, The GOD of creation has overlooked the times of ignorance (superstitions ignorance and wrong mindsets) and Now urgently persuades all of humanity everywhere to awaken in (from their darkened state to) understanding to the fact of their innocence -- He appointed a day and a person and on that day and in that person GOD would judge the world in righteousness and of this He has given proof by raising Jesus from the dead! The resurrected Jesus is the official receipt and vindication used in the confirmation of humanity's redemption and restored innocence! Romans 4:25, Rev. 20:4 and Mat. 19:28, Jesus said to them, 'Truly, I say to you, in the [1] rebooting (in the regeneration) of mankind, when the Son of man shall sit on His glorious Throne, you who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.' See the word, [1, G3824 from G3825 and G1078] paliggenesia, suggests a complete restoration to the original (Gen. 1:26-27, 2:7, 18, 21-22), rebirth, spiritual renovation; in modern terms, rebooted. Is from (G3825) palin, renewal, again, by repetition (within each new generation of mankind an ongoing activity) and (G1078) genesis , source, nature. Only used here and in Titus 3:5.) And I saw everyone who ever died, small and great, standing before GOD. And the books were opened. And another book was opened! The Book of Life. The first volume of the books represented humanity's judgment based on their own works, verses the Book of Life which celebrated the triumph of the Lamb! (Rev. 3:5, Everyone who see their victory in Me will I clothe in white garments - and they will realize that I am not in the business of fulfilling their Law and performance based fears by blotting out their names from the Book of Life! Instead I am the One who embraces their restored identity face to face before My Father and His Shepherd-Messengers. [This language is taken from the custom of registering the names of persons in a list, roll, or catalogue, a census.] The Jewish tradition these were a prevailing fear that a name might be blotted out of the Book of Life at the end, if our behavior did not please GOD. see notes on the Lamb's Book of Life in chapter 17's notes.) Every domain where the dead were held, yielded them up to be judged according to their works. Everyone was there; The sea yielded up its dead also Death and Hades yielded up their dead. The Death and Hades were cast into the feared Lake of Fire. This is the Second Death. And [1]everything that was Not written in the Book of Life was poured into the Lake of Fire." ( The Greek, (G1536 from G1487 ei, a primary particle of conditionality; and G5100 tis, an enclitic (Daniel Webster's 1828 Dictionary: A particle or word that throws the accent or emphasis back upon the former syllable.) indefinite pronoun); ei tis, means everything or everyone - but, what is cast into the symbolic Lake ablaze with brimstone is not a person but a mindset! A distorted perception of identity!
The authentic ID (today's DNA) of human life is defined in the Book of Life - or the Tree of Life (the Cross being this altar and tree), representing the redeemed life of our origin and design, versus the alternative Tree of the knowledge of good and evil, representing humanity's false identity under scrutiny and questioned? identity. The "I am not-tree" heads up the System of a Works and Performance Based Philosophy. To have our names written in the Book of Life simply suggests that we discover our true identity, we're there in the Zoe-Life redeemed by the Lamb. We may have only known ourselves according to the flesh, as did Simon, the son of Jonah, while we are Petros! (Mat 16) Mr. Rock, we are a chip of the old Block! Every evidence of an inferior identity will be cast into the Lake of Sulphur burning away the dross (unbelief and fear) to reveal the gold! Any idea of an identity outside of the Book of Life, is dissolved! The Lamb's Book of Life and not the Law of personal performance, defines us!
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! Now I made reference to two books not included in the Bible and both of these books use this same theme and language when speaking of it's heavenly visions.) (The Mirror, with editing.)
Now we shall the LORD willing pick this back up in our next visit with Revelation 2. Until then may the LORD of ALL increase our comprehension of His being.
The Lake of Fire and the Second Death:
Revelation 20:8-15, "And his (Satanas) obvious strategy would by to deceive the Nations on a global scale including "the four corners of the earth" by assembling Gog and Magog in war; Their number is as the sands of the sea. (Again, every traditional Jewish concept of judgment is addressed. Gog and Magog is now brought into the conversation, since Jewish eschatology viewed Gog and Magog as enemies to be defeated by the Messiah, which will usher in the age of the Messiah. Eldad and Modad [brothers of Moses] both prophesied together, and said, "In the very end of time Gog and Magog and their armies shall come up against Jerusalem, and they shall fall by the hand of the King Messiah; They shall be slain by the flame of fire which shall proceed from under the Throne of glory, and afterwards all the dead of Israel shall rise again to life, and shall enjoy the delights prepared for them from the beginning." This quoted from the Jewish Targum. See Numbers 11:26 and Ezekiel 38:17.
There are numeral references to the same "once and for all war" in the heavens! It is however the same hour; The same event! Rev. 12:7, 16:13-14, 17:13-14, and 19:19.) They will spread across the earth and attempt to neutralize the "Queen Bee Bride" of the Lamb by surrounding and besieging GOD's Saints in the beloved city. Then fire will pour out of heaven and consume them. (Here again, the mindsets of Satanic accusation, fear of judgment are made a meal of - yet another reference to the great supper-feast celebrating the New Covenant and the conclusion of the Old. The fire from the altar of the slain Lamb of GOD consumes every definition of Israel's and indeed, mankind's perceived imagined enemies.) The Devil, who led them astray will be hurled into the Lake of Fire and Brimstone where his puppet partners, the Beast and the False Prophet have already settled in being there confined. Day and Night they will be the subject of GOD's touchstone for the ages - the very atmosphere of the entire universe will be thoroughly fumigated from any evidence of Satanas. And I saw a huge white Throne and it was as if heaven and earth fled away from the presence of the One seated upon the Throne and its place was never found again. (This means that there is no fear or accusation in the heavens or upon the earth that could possibly stand in the presence of the Lamb, the One seated upon the Throne of the judgment of righteousness ---- His Throne gives testimony to humanity's redeemed acquittal! See Hebrews 1:3, "Having made purification for (humanity's) sins He sat down!" There exists no evidence that could be brought from any sphere or dimension that could possibly testify against the human race - Acts 17, The GOD of creation has overlooked the times of ignorance (superstitions ignorance and wrong mindsets) and Now urgently persuades all of humanity everywhere to awaken in (from their darkened state to) understanding to the fact of their innocence -- He appointed a day and a person and on that day and in that person GOD would judge the world in righteousness and of this He has given proof by raising Jesus from the dead! The resurrected Jesus is the official receipt and vindication used in the confirmation of humanity's redemption and restored innocence! Romans 4:25, Rev. 20:4 and Mat. 19:28, Jesus said to them, 'Truly, I say to you, in the [1] rebooting (in the regeneration) of mankind, when the Son of man shall sit on His glorious Throne, you who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.'

"The Secrets of GOD," as revealed by John in the Revealtion of Christ, chapter 19's hidden insights, part 4e of 4, with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.
We are bring to a close the meths of religions falsehoods one sacred cow at a time. It just dawned on me how all the imagery and language of Revelation matches that which is written in "Enoch." Enoch speaks of his visions of heaven and uses in his letters or small books, also used in the book of "Jasher," it's author is unknown being the meaning of it's title, was hidden for years in the vaults under the temple in Rome. Both books require the Holy Spirit's help in discerning of the language and for that reason were written out of the Bible. But are now available on the worldwide web.
The Lake of Fire and the Second Death:
Revelation 19:20, "And the Beast and the miracle working Puppet Partner, the False Prophet were arrested and cast into the Lake ablaze with [1]Sulphur. These two were the ones, empowered by the Dragon to amaze and deceive those who were tattooed in their heads (wrong mindsets of vain thoughts and thinking) and hands (the deeds worked by murderous means) with the character of the Beast and paying religious homage to its image." (The word [1, G2303 a neuter of G2304] theion , Sulphur, is from (G2304 from G2316 theos, of uncertain affinity; a deity) theios , meaning godlike (neuter as noun, divinity): - divine, godhead. Sulphur is a yellowish inflammable mineral sunstance 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 ward off diseases. Its medicinal values are well known even today.)
Revelation 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 (bruised by the heel of the true Lamb) but came alive again; 3/ and now, here, the Dragon clothed as a lamb, by lamb's skin to disguise him; Later to be called, the False Prophet.)
Revelation 14:8-11, "And a third Shepherd-Messenger following and announced with a loud voice saying that whoever worships the counterfeit lamb and its image and receives its character 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 mirrored in Him - the dross of their deception will be exposed and cleansed! (Note the words, tou kekerasmenou akratou - this is a powerful, oxymoron meaning, "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 draught (draft) from it, and all the wicked of the earth shall drain it down to the dregs."
The word, [1, G928 from G931 basanos ] basanizo 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 true 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 disease - the [1, G4221]cup (one's lot or fate) He drank on the cross is the touchstone! 'What shall I say? Father remove this cup from me? NO! For this hour I have come!' (Mat. 26:39, Mark 14:36, Luke 22:42, John 18:11) The word, [2, G40 from ἅγος hagos (an awful thing) compare G53, [H2282]; sacred (physically pure, morally blameless, consecrated)] hagios, saints, refers to wholeness and harmony of spirit, soul and body - see 1Cor. 1:30 and Rom. 1:7) Those worshiping the counterfeit Beast and its image and receive its mark and name as their identity will have nowhere to hide, day or night; The smoke that rises from their [1]testing, will evidence their cleansing for all ages." (The mindset of a counterfeit religious system has no future! The message of the Cross is the [1] touchstone that will forever bear testimony to the triumph of the Lamb.) (The Mirror, with editing.)
In our next post we shall, the LORD willing, move on into Rev. 20. Until then may our LORD and GOD raise us all to the level of His desire for us.

"The Secrets of GOD," as revealed by John in the Revealtion of Christ, chapter 19's hidden insights, part 4d of 4, with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.
Returning to the book of Revelation for our next look into the subject of this deep dive into:
The Lake of Fire and the Second Death:
Revelation 8:5, "Then the Shepherd-Messenger took the golden censer for frankincense and filled it with burning coals from the altar and cast it upon the earth. And the burning coals became thunder and voices and lightning shaking the earth like an earthquake!" (The altar is central in this vision of the Lamb that was slain - the triumph of the Cross is unveiled, in redeeming humanity's innocence. "Having accomplished purification of sins He sat down...." (Acts 2:34; Ps. 110:1; Eph. 1:22; Heb. 1:3) His Throne is proof of humanity's redeemed innocence! Heb. 1:3.
This should remind us of Isaiah 6:6-7, "Then flew one of the Seraphim to me, having in his hand a burning coal which he had taken with tongs from the altar. And he touched my mouth, and said, "Behold, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away, and your sin forgiven." Then in Zechariah 3:9, " 'For behold, upon the stone which I have set before Joshuah, upon a single stone with seven facets [eyes], I will engrave its inscription,' says the LORD of hosts, 'I will remove the guilt of the earth in a single day.' Then in Isaiah 66:8, "Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such a thing? Shall a land be born in one day? Shall a nation be brought forth in a moment?" Hosea 6:2, "After two days He will revive us; On the third day He will raise us up, that we may live before Him." Acts 17:31, Rom. 4:25, 1Pet. 1:3, Ehp. 2:5-6.
In the following scenes where the seven trumpets are sounded, every known sphere of the universe is pictured: The earth with its green trees and fields of grass; Then the oceans, both with its hidden life within, as well as the trade ships upon the seas. Then the burning star descending from heaven upon the rivers and their sources - from where their waters gush forth - [waters gushing from the innermost beings!] Then the sun moon and stars in the heavenly sphere are struck and darkness ensues upon the earth (Mat. 27:45). Every external source of light is taken away in order to usher in the new day dawning within. Rev. 21:23, "Then city doesn't need any sun or moon to give it light because the glory of GOD gives it light. The Lamb was its lamp." Even the smoke rising from the bottomless pit [under-world] clearly reveals that the fire from the altar had its effect there! The Lamb descended into the lowest parts of the earth when He set the captives free (Mat. 27:51b-54) and led them as His trophies in His triumphant procession on high! Eph. 4:8-10. The entire known world is addressed in the slain and risen Lamb. The old things have passed away, behold everything has become new. An earthquake took place (Mat. 27:51) because of fault lines - a great shifting is taking place along the fault-line of people's thinking! Isa. 55:9-11)
In the imagery that follows, John see how the triune religious counterfeit systems, the Dragon, the beast and the False Prophet are thoroughly stripped of their influence and dominion and brought to naught. (Because of its length I will have to cut this short here, but will give a small portion to wet your appetites.)
Revelation 18:21, "And a huge Shepherd-Messenger lifted a stone like a massive millstone and cast it into the sea, saying, "so shall Babylon the great Prostitute-City, be hurled into the ocean and not a single trace of her existence shall be found again!" (These things and this city are being witnesses to the effects of their demise in a TV program called "Drain the Oceans," on the National Geographic channel. See Mat. 18:6-9 where Jesus is speaking, 'Whoever causes one of those little ones who believe in Me to stumble, 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.' The context is clearly about the offense and judgment that the legalistic mindset brings - 'if your hand, foot or eye offends you [causes you to stumble], cut it off and pluck it out in order to escape burning in Gehenna!' This was obviously a familiar comparison to judgment. Jesus graphically and almost sarcastically pointed to the inability of the Law of works to save us from judgment! The hand, foot or eye not the culprits; The actual mindset is! It should also be noted that here, the depths of the sea is used on par with the fires of Gehenna - the idea was to emphasize a judgment that will ultimately, in the full comprehension of the human race, be totaled in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ and our total co-inclusion in it, as well as our awakening to our joint-seatedness on the Throne (of our origin, as witnessed to in Gen. 1:26-27) in GOD, will bring a final end to the threat and existence of evil.
The garbage heap outside Jerusalem, commonly related to hell, (G1067 of Hebrew origin ([H1516] and [H2011]) geenna, gheh'-en-nah, Gehenna, is the Greek word used for the Hebrew, "Valley of Hinnom," which is modern day Wadi er-Rababi. A fiery place for the disposal of waste matter from the city of Jerusalem. The "Valley of Hinnom" lies outside of ancient Jerusalem.) (The Mirror, with editing.)
Until our next visit may our LORD bless one and all. We shall pick this with Revelation 19.

"The Secrets of GOD," as revealed by John in the Revealtion of Christ, chapter 19's hidden insights, part 4c of 4, with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.
Since the day of the death, burial, descention, resurrection and ascension of Christ Jesus all of that which was held in superstition and pagan religious rites have passed away. This includes and is not limited to the ancients belief of a after life, and the lake of judgment ablaze with Sulphur as a furnace of further purification for acceptance. To see this more clearly lets look into 1Corinthians 15 for a moment or two.
The Lake of Fire and the Second death:
1Corinthians 15:54-57, "What was spoken in Isaiah 25:8 has been finally realized in our physical death: "Death is swallowed up in victory!" Oh death where is your sting? Oh grave, where is your victory? The sting of death is sin; The strength of sin is the law (Gen. 3:17-19, Ps. 90:3-11, Pro. 14:32; John 8:21, 24; It was sin that made death so frightening and the law-code guilt that gave sin its leverage.) Our victory is not a maybe or a some day kind of thing; Because of the magnanimous doing of Jesus Christ, it is a given! (But Now in a single victory stroke of Life, all three ---- sin, guilt, death -- are gone, the gift of our Master, Jesus Christ. Thank GOD!)
The picture of a Lake ablaze with Sulphur, also portrays a persuasion in conversation where the success of the Cross, in disarming principalities and powers, is endorsed. Awaiting our acceptance of realization. 1Thessalonians 4:18, "The fact that we are all deeply connected in the same source of our 'beingness' causes us to be constantly engaged in this conversation with one another." Within this conversation, every possible definition of Sin, Judgment, Death and Hades, Satan, Devil, Demons, Dragon, Beast and False Prophet-Prostitute is addressed and forever dissolved and thus rendered irrelevant! Revelation 17:14, "These join forces in that hour to wage war against the Lamb, but the Lamb defeated them (ALL) since He is the LORD of lords and the King of kings. And, sharing with Him in His victory, are His kindred, recognizing their origin in this conversation; They too are now of the same persuasion (mindset). The Lamb led them into His freedom from their lost identity, and their doubts (that so easily handicapped them by their various religions)."
Colossians 1:13, "He rescued humanity from the dominion of darkness (the sense-ruled world, dominated by the Law of performance) and relocated us into the kingdom (from which our origin began) where the agape of His Son rules."
The lake ablaze with Sulphur represents the environment of a faith fellowship in the authority of light, where the reign of Agape dissolves the dominion of darkness. This is the picture that Jesus painted in Matthew 16 when he spoke about His Ekklesia, founded in the discovery that the son of man is indeed the Son of GOD and in this understanding of mankind's sonship, the Gates of Hades would be disengaged and imprisoned humanity's false mindset be set free. Jesus builds His Ekklesia [from ek, meaning of one's origin and kaleo, to surname; to restore our original identity] and the gates of Hades will not prevail against us! [The word, (H7585 שְׁאֹל, she'ôl is from H7592; G86 hadēs, not G1067 geenna, of Hebrew origin, meaning valley; from G1 (as a negative particle) and G1492 ] hades, unseen, is from the negative particle, (G1) ha, and (G1492) eido, meaning to see incorrectly.] The blindfold mode of the human race will not prevail against the revelation of the Son of man as the offspring of GOD - this is the triumph of the Ekklesia! "Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked to us on the road, while he opened to us the Scriptures?" Luke 24:32.
Remember that all the symbolic pictures of fire, referenced in the book of Revelation come from the same source, the brazen altar, the prophetic picture of the Cross - each one of the Elders also had a phialas chrusas, a golden fire-pan specifically designed to receive the sweet smelling frankincense which was lighted with coals from the brazen altar, where the sacrifice has just been presented in the outer court and then the sweet smelling frankincense was offered on the golden altar before the veil. Exodus 30:1, "You shall make an altar to burn incense upon; Of acacia wood shall you make it and overlay it with pure gold." The Acacia (from its scourging thorns H7848): shittah , from (H7850) shotet, to pierce, (H7752) to flog, a goad: - scourging (Acts 9:5) The symbolic use of the acacia wood in the building of this prophetic altar before the veil presents us with powerful imagery of the crucifixion!) (The Mirror, with editing.)
Until our next visit the LORD willing when we shall continue our deep dive look into this area again.
May the LORD of ALL bring us to our place of understanding in His light of reality and Truth.
The Lake of Fire and the Second death:
1Corinthians 15:54-57, "What was spoken in Isaiah 25:8 has been finally realized in our physical death: "Death is swallowed up in victory!" Oh death where is your sting? Oh grave, where is your victory? The sting of death is sin; The strength of sin is the law (Gen. 3:17-19, Ps. 90:3-11, Pro. 14:32; John 8:21, 24; It was sin that made death so frightening and the law-code guilt that gave sin its leverage.)

"The Secrets of GOD," as revealed by John in the Revealtion of Christ, chapter 19's hidden insights, part 4b of 4, with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.
In the introduction of our last post I mentioned the ocean going size ships that were found in the desert area of Egypt. I did not say how old they have dated to be, well as it turns out they are some 6000 years BC. We believe that the Pharaoh had them built there, as a means of moving into his after life, affording him safe passage thru a Lake of Judgment or Fire on his way to the eternal life.
The Lake of Fire and The Second Death:
Revelation 20:14, "Then Death and Hades were cast into the Lake of fire. This is the second death." (The Second Death is not to distract from the Once and for all death that Jesus died, but to endorse it. In the Lake of fire, Death and Hades are eradicated from human memory. This was a means of holding the human race in the grip of fear by religions assumed power over the unsuspecting and as stated before the ignorant. The first death is the once for all death that Jesus died, representing the global death of humankind. Jesus' death took mankind's death in Adam, out of the equation! [Rom. 5:12, Heb. 9:27-28, 2Cor. 5:14-17] The idea of the Second Death has to do with the fact that the revelation of everyone's inclusion in the death of Jesus, has not yet dawned on some - so it will take a crisis, often, their own death, to immediately engage them with the symbolic cleansing [from their ignorance and unbelief] represented by the Lake of burning Sulphur, purifying like in a furnace, separating the gold from the dross-mindset. This is the ultimate awakening (like that of both Peter and Paul) to the success of the cross - the realizing that even Death and Hades itself died in Jesus' death! It is indeed the death of Death!)
Thus Jesus broke the spell of the supposed claim of judgment and death over the Adamic race. The significance of the implication of Jesus' death cannot be exaggerated! It reaches thru the entire past and future of human history!
Hebrews 2:15, "As a fellow human, He re-defined death and delivered them from the lifelong dread of death." ( Jesus brought final closure to the idea of judgment, which is what the system of religious works is all about. [Heb. 9:27-28.] evil is not immortal, Agape is!)
1John 4:17-19, "So now, with us awakening to [1]our full inclusion in Jesus' love union, everything is made perfect, again! Its completeness is not compromised in contradictions of religions strongest efforts to persuade the human race otherwise. Our [2]conflict conversation [3]echos this fellowship even in the face of [4]crisis; Because, as He is, so are we in this world order - our lives are mirrored in Him. We are as blameless in this like as Jesus is/was! This perfect love union is the source of our confidence whenever we [5]face the scrutiny of contradiction." (This place of seamless union is the perfection of Agape - en toutoo he agape meth'hemoon; the word [1, G3326 G2257] meth'hemoon, together with us, is from (G3326) meta, together with and (G2257) hemoon, us; to be included in the same togetherness. The word [2, G3954 parrhēsia] parresia, translated boldness, is from para, a preposition indicating close proximity, and rheo, to pour out, to flow freely, suggesting unreservedness in speech, bold utterance, confidence. The word, [3, G2192 translated have] echo, to hold, like sound is held in an echo, to resonate. The word, [4, G2920] krisis is often translated, judgment. So, the [5] day of judgment, "in the face of crisis," can be translated, "facing the scrutiny of contradictions in our daily life.") Fear cannot co-exist in this Agape realm. The perfect love union that we are talking about expels all fear. Fear holds on to an expectation of crisis and judgment [what brings a false feeling of separation] and interprets it as due punishment [a form of karma!]. It echos torment and only registers in someone who does not yet realize their completeness of their agape union [ with the Father, Son and Spirit and with one another, our being a triune being of Gen. 1:26-27, 2:7.] We love because He loves us! (We did not invent this fellowship we are invited into this fellowship with Father and Son!)
Again I am cutting this short in an effort to make this simple and easy to read and follow. Until our next visit may the LORD again aid us in our receptivity of His revelation.

"The Secrets of GOD," as revealed by John in the Revealtion of Christ, chapter 19's hidden insights, part 4a of 4, with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.
We are about to embark on another picture story of the Revelation of Christ's battles with fallen humanity's fantasies about Him and His kingdom as seen through the eyes of John, the man that Jesus loved. This one comes from the long time imagined lake of fire.
The Lake of Fire and The Second Death:
By whom and when the imagery of this Lake of Fire was first introduced, is suggestive of judgment, where by every possible trace of both the source [the counterfeit Trinity system], as well as the effect in the recipients [their distorted perceptions and religious mindsets], are forever consumed. This may well have been the thought pattern of the ancient world as there were recently found in the deserts of Egypt, some three miles from the Nile River, where among other things are 14 full sizes ocean going ships, each coated with a layer of protective clay, were discover buried by the sands.
Every single person who ever dies in ignorance, indifference or unbelief, is immediately confronted with and mirrored, in the once and for all death and resurrection of Jesus - this is pictured here by the Lake of burning Sulphur, cleansing and purifying like in a furnace; Separating the gold from the dross (wheat from the tares) of a corrupted mindset, belief systems, found in the masses of humanity.
For those who awaken to their redeemed innocence in this life there is no judgment in the Second death. Revelation 2:11, Now listen up with your inner ears! hear with understanding what the Spirit is saying to the Ekklesis - [those who like Simon Peter, with Saul of Tarsus, discover their true identity in Me] it is he that triumphs [in their fearless embrace of My resurrection life] will know that there is no judgment in the second death. [Remember the One talking is the One "who became dead and was restored to life," and said, 'Behold in death I will personally crown you with life! In My death, I redefine your death'] Look at Hebrews 9:25-28. As representative of the human race, Jesus Christ fulfilled humanity's destiny with death and judgment! [1Cor. 15:3-5, Rom. 4:25, Acts 17:30-31] FACT: Jesus did not come to condemn the world. The Father judges no one for He has handed all judgment over to the Son, Who judged this world in righteousness when he took their judgment in His own body.
John 12:31-33, " 'Now is the judgment of this world; This is the moment where the rulers of this world-systems are conclusively cast out! When I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw all unto Me (Myself)!' (The subject of this sentence, as from the previous verse, is the judgment of the world - thus, the primary thought here is that in His death, Jesus would draw all judgment upon Himself and thereby forever redeem humanity's innocence!) This he said to point to the way in which he would die."
I will leave these thoughts with you to ponder and deeply consider. Until our next visit the LORD willing when we shall pick up the flow at Revelation 20's verse 14. Now may our LORD and Redeemer work within each of us His work to His glory renewed within us.
