Moving right along in our searching of Scriptures and while doing so learning more and more of the LORD, Christ-Jesus.
The New Heaven and Earth:
(The Kingdom that cannot be Broken)
2Corinthians 5:17, "The old things have passed away, behold, everything has become new!" [Rev. 21:4, "He wipes every tear from their eyes and [1]blots out every hurtful memory! And death shall be no more. Nor any association with it; No more mourning and bitter weeping nor any reference to pain! For the former things have passed away!" ( The word, [1, G1813, is from G1537 and G218 ] exaleipho, means to erase tears, pardon sin, comes from (G1537) ek, out of, and (G218 from G1 (as a particle of union) and the base of G3045) aleipho, anoint, with (G1) a, as a particle of union, and (G3045) liparos, to grease, to leave a stain; Scars of hurtful experiences were like grease stains stored in memory.)]
Revelation 21:3-4, "And a glorious announcement was heralded out of the Throne, "Behold, GOD's tabernacle is with the human race!" He has taken up permanent residence in human skin to be with them in the closest possible association of oneness. They are His own possession: His tribe and He is their GOD inseparably entwined within them. ( Rev. 7:15, "Standing free and forgiven in their redeemed innocence and union, face to face (again as in the beginning, as seen in Gen. 2) before the Throne of GOD, they are fully engaged, day and night in their priestly service of worship in the inner sanctuary." The one seated on the Throne is their tabernacle - He shelters them with His presence.) He wipes every tear from their eyes and blots out every hurtful memory! And death shall be no more. Nor any association with it; No more mourning and bitter weeping nor any reference to pain! For the former things have passed away!"
Isaiah 25:6-8, "The LORD of hosts will prepare a lavish banquet for all peoples on this mountain; A banquet of aged wine, choice pieces with marrow, and refined, aged wine. And on this mountain He will swallow up the covering which is over all peoples, even the veil/vail (H4541) which was stretched over all Nations. He will swallow up death for all time, and the LORD GOD will wipe tears away from all faces, and He will remove the reproach of His people from all the earth; For the LORD has spoken.....Holman Christian Standard Bible.
Isaiah 25:7 again, "On this mountain, He will swallow up the burial shroud that enfolds/engulfs all peoples (John 11:44), the vail/veil that is spread over all Nations---"
Isaiah 51:11, "And the redeemed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with singing; Everlasting joy shall be upon their heads; They shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away."
Observes Socrates, "How thrice happy of mortals, who, having had these ends in view, depart to hades; For them alone it is given there to live; But to others, all things there are evil" (Fragmented). And Euripides: "The dead, tear-less, forgets his pain."
Revelation 7:16-17, "Here there is no memory of hunger or thirst or a scorching sun to plague them!" (Isaiah 49 is fulfilled! see Isa. 49:6, 10, "I will give you as a light to the Nations, that My salvation may reach to the end of the earth. The tribes of Judah as prophetic pointer to the entire population of the planet are gathered as one in worship.....They shall not hunger or thirst, neither scorching wind nor sun shall smite them, for he who has pity on them will lead them, and by springs of water will guide them.") For the little Lamb who occupies the center stage of the Throne will Shepherd them and lead them beside living springs of pure water and GOD shall [1, reference to 21:4]blot out every hurtful memory of the tears they have cried! ( A similar scene is set here to mirror the historic deliverance of Israel out of (their mental) slavery in the build-up to the first prophetic Passover - this time the dramatic symbolism pictured reflects the final Passover and the slain Lamb on the Throne addressing and bringing closure and conclusion to the many ideas of judgment so deeply entrenched in the Jewish mind (this includes the religious world as well, those under the vail) and consciousness. Their stories and symbolic prophetic pictures are repeated again and again, waging war against their perceived reasoning and philosophies portrayed in their own historic priesthood and altar services.
The number seven brings out the varied forms as well as their essential oneness; Whether the "seven Spirits of GOD;" The "seven churches," the "seven horns" and "seven eyes" of the Lamb, the "seven seals," the "seven trumpets," and the "seven bowls.")
Revelation 21:5-6, "And the one seated on the Throne said, 'Behold, I make all things New! And he instructed me to write, because these words are true and to be relied on! ( see Isaiah 43:18, 'Do not remember former things, not consider the things of old.') And He said to me, 'everything is Now [1]fully accomplished. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the sum total of the entire prophetic conversation concerning humanity's redemption. I am both the origin and the conclusion of all things. Anyone thirsty can come and drink freely from the gift of the waters of Life from its source!'" ( The word, [1, G1096] gegonan is from (G1096) ginomai, to make or given birth, is in the Perfect Active Indicative Tense denoting an action which is completed in the past, but the effects of which are regarded as continuing into the present. Isaiah 55:1-3, "Ho, every one who thirsts, come to the waters; And he who has no money, come buy and eat! Come, buy wine and the finest wheat without money and without price. Why do you spend your money for what is not bread, and your labor for that which does not satisfy? hearken diligently to Me, and eat what is good, and delight yourselves in fatness. Incline your ear, and come to Me: hear, that your soul may live: And I will make with you an everlasting covenant, My steadfast, sure Agape for David.") (The Mirror, with editing.)
This closes part 1 of the notes on Rev. 21. Until our next visit may the LORD of all bring our receptivity up to His par. With our next visit we shall the LORD willing begin our look into "the Splendor of the gates."

"The Secrets of GOD," as revealed by John in the Revealtion of Christ, chapter 21's hidden insights, part 1a of 2, with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.
We are about to fulfill our calling to put the Scriptures together that the LORD spoke within my wife and I back in the middle 80's, while we were in prayer with a few others that evening. It was during that prayer time that He told us we would be taught by Himself within our four walls. This took place before in the late 80's that He impressed upon me that He would take His ministry through me to the Nations of the World, this He has also fulfilled with little or no effort on my part. Okay, here goes a fresh look at Hebrews chapter 12 which carries a heading of "A Kingdom That Cannot Be Shaken" in one of my many Study Bibles.
New Heaven and Earth:
(The Kingdom that cannot be Broken)
Hebrews 12:22-29; Isaiah 9:6-7, "By contrast, we have been welcomed into an invisible mount Zion; The city of Peace (New Jerusalem), the residence of the Living GOD, the festive assemblage of an innumerable Angelic host! We are participating with a mass in joint-celebration of heavenly and earthly beings; The true Ekklesia-church of the first born (those of their union in the awakening of resurrection and ascension power and authority of the LORD's victory) mirror-inscribed in the heavenlies. (Of our true original identity, [1, G1577 from a compound of G1537 and a derivative of G2564; a calling out, (Christian community of awakened members on earth or Saints in heaven or both)], ekklesia, from (G1537) ek, a preposition that always denotes origin, and (G2564) kaleo, meaning to identify by name, to be surname], is endorsed by Jesus, patterned in Him, the first born from the dead,,,,ie. born from above. This kept secret by man's imaginary devilish religions, broken into denominations and its many figure systems, and withheld from the masses of human beings under its spell of falseness, lies and doctrines of demon and devils. Directed from the pit wherein these spirits are held. The powers and principalities against the which the true Ekklesia Now stands.) Jesus is the spokesman and arbitrator of the New Testament order. His blood signature sanctions humanity's innocence. This a complete new language that communicates better things, in that it is the very substance of what was spoken in the shadow-type message of the blood sacrifice that Abel brought. (Abel's faith was a prophetic introduction to the sacrificial shadow system of the Old Covenant. Jesus is the substance of things hoped for! Heb. 11:4, "It was faith made the difference between the sacrifices of Abel and Cain, and confirmed Abel's righteousness.GOD bore witness to righteousness as a gift rather than a reward! Even though Abel was murdered, his faith still has a most relevant prophetic voice.") If Jesus is the crescendo of GOD's final message to humanity, we cannot afford to politely excuse ourselves from this conversation. Consider the prominent place that Moses played in the history of Israel: If you think that Moses or any of the Prophets who spoke with authority on earth deserve honor, how much more should this word that GOD declared from heaven concerning our renewed sonship, and our redeemed innocence and mindset reveal in the Messiah Himself, deserve our undivided attention! Especially, when He introduced the prophetic shadow of what was to come (of the Law system), His voice visibly shook the earth. (Ex. 19:18) But now the Messiah has come ( He is the desire of the Nations; He is what heaven and earth were waiting for [Hag. 2:6-7]) The voice of GOD (articulated in Christ's birth, life, ministry, death, and resurrection) has rocked not only the systems on the earth, but also every unseen principality in the heavens, to their very foundations! In the words of the Prophet, "Yet once more will I shake every unstable system of man's efforts to rule himself" ( in Ps. 102:26-27, Eze. 21:27) GOD clearly indicated His plan to remove the old and replace it with the New. The second shaking supersedes any other significance of the first shaking. Then it was a physical quaking of the earth; Now the very foundations of every man-made system will be shaken to the core while the heavens were impacted by the announcement of His permanent rule on earth as it is mirrored in heaven. We are fully associated in this immovable Kingdom; An authority that cannot be challenged or contradicted. Our participation echoes grace (and not pleasing, to accommodate yourselves in obedience) as we [1]accommodate ourselves to GOD's delight, by yielding in awe to His embrace. ( The word, [1, G2102, from G2101 euarestos, fully agreeable, from G2095 eu, of a primary word εὖς eus (good) and G701 arestos, agreeable; by implication fit.] euaresto, means well pleasing, to accommodate oneself to GOD's delight.) His zeal for humanity burns within us like a fire. (Deu. 4:24 and Luke 24:32)
Isaiah 9:6-7, "For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder, and His name will be called, "Wonderful Counselor, Mighty GOD, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." On the increase of His government and of peace there will be no end, upon the Throne of David, and over His kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from this time forth-ward and for evermore. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will do this." (The Mirror, with editing.)
Now is the time now is the reason for this fire to burn within all called out ones, the Saints of the LORD. (2Cor. 6:11-7:3)
We shall the LORD willing pick up the flow with 2Corinthians 5 in our next visit. Now may He who "ISh," bring all things together for His purpose within us.

"The Secrets of GOD," as revealed by John in the Revealtion of Christ, chapter 21's hidden insights, part 1 of 2, with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.
We are and have been since 2007 been digging into the Secret Things of Deuteronomy 29:29 and what Jesus called the Mysteries in Matthew 13:11's mysteries and Mark 4:11 Mystery. Like a skilled researcher we have been digging throughout the text of Scripture to find all things hidden about the Christ and while doing so we have discovered many other things of interest for us all. And Not like a Bible School (college or university) taught theologian, who have a good business education, who become a person of letters.
The New heaven and New Earth:
Revelation 20:10-11, 4, "The Devil, who led them ( as recorded in Genesis 3, Adam and woman, after words the humanity of this world) astray will be hurled into the Lake of Fire and Brimstone where his puppet partners, the Beast and the False Prophet have already been confined to. Day and Night they will be the subject of GOD's [1]touchstone for the ages of the ages - the very atmosphere of the entire universe will be thoroughly fumigated from any evidence of Satanas' existence. (see the notes on the [1] touchstone in Rev. 14:10 shared elsewhere in this blog) And I (John) 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. ( Daniel 2:34-35, Rev. 12:8, This means that there is no accusation in the heavens or upon the earth that could possibly stand in the presence of the Lamb, the One seated on this Throne of Judgment judges in Righteousness - His Throne gives testimony to all of humanity's redeemed acquittal. see Hebrews 1:3, "Having made purification/sanctification of sin(s) He sat down." There exists no more 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 and Now urgently persuades all of His Humanity everywhere to awaken in their understanding to this fact of their total innocence - He appointed a day and a person (Deu. 18:15-19, with its wronging 20-22) and on that day and in that person GOD judged the world in righteousness and of this he was given proof by raising Jesus from the dead! The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the official receipt and verification confirming all of humanity's restored/renewed/regenerated innocence! Romans 4:25. The entire universe Now bears witness to humanity's redeemed state of innocence.).....I saw thrones and those seated on these throne have been given judgment. They are the souls/spirits who didn't worship the Beast or it image (Dan. 2) , and did not take his mark (corrupted mindset, a willful action of rebellion, resistance, delusion) in their foreheads or on their (implanted in) hands. The system of the Beast [1]axed them because of the Testimony of Jesus and because of the Word (revelation) of GOD, since they didn't fit into the religious mold! They are the living beings, joined together in the Christ Life, reigning from their joint-seatedness in the Throne of the Lamb for a thousand years. (see the note on the thousand years of chapter 20, in part 1 of 3. In Rev. 1:2, John gave accurate evidence to the Word of GOD and the Testimony of Jesus Christ, exactly as he saw it. [It is this Testimony of Jesus Christ that is the context of the prophetic word.] The word, [1, G3990 from a derivative of G4141 plēssō, as a potter pounds the clay and G4111 plasso, to mold] pelekizo, to cut off, from (G4111) plasso, to form, mold something from clay, wax, etc. - used of a potter - they would not be molded into a distorted mindset or image. Rev. 21:1, 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 (He did not disclose what the Nations of humanity would be, because He was under restraint of the Law, Psalms and Prophets) will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.'" The word, (1, G3824 παλιγγενεσία, rebirth, is from G3825 and G1078 ) paliggenesia, suggests a complete restoration to our original identity, in modern terms a rebooting. From (G3825) palin, the idea of oscillatory repetition, anew and (G1078) genesis, means nativity, genesis, our life source, as seen in Gen. 1:26-27.) (The Mirror, with editing.)
With our next visit we shall, the LORD willing, begin with a look again at Hebrews 12. Until then may our LORD GOD awaken all of the world to His truth, light and justice by pushing out of the corrupted mindset to delusional thinking of those not yet awakened.

"The Secrets of GOD," as revealed by John in the Revealtion of Christ, chapter 21:5 hidden insights, with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.
With this posting we will finish our look at the mystery of the New Jerusalem come down out of the heavens above. Picking back up at verse 22. And the cities source of Light, which by the way is also our source, the glory within all of humanity. That is in many and is busting at our seams to come out for all to see.
New Jerusalem:
Revelation 21:22-27 "And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it. And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there. And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it. And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life." (KJV)
Revelation 21:22-27 "And I saw no temple in the city, for its temple is the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb. And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and its lamp is the Lamb. By its light will the nations walk, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it, and its gates will never be shut by day—and there will be no night there. They will bring into it the glory and the honor of the nations. But nothing unclean will ever enter it, nor anyone who does what is detestable or false, but only those who are written in the Lamb's book of life." (ESV)
Revelation 21:22-27, "I saw no temple in it, for the LORD GOD, the supreme power vested in the Lamb, is its temple. (The entire city is Now one Holy Temple of GOD. We are made kings and priests. Rev. 1:6, 21:3, "And glorious announcement was heralded out of the Throne, 'Behold, GOD's tabernacle is with the Human Race'" He has taken up permanent residence in humanity's skin to be with them in the closest possible association of seamless unity and oneness. Also Rev. 7:15, "The one seated upon the Throne is their tabernacle - He shelters them with His presence." It is almost unspeakable that of all the Biblical themes GOD has revealed, that He could now choose from to celebrate the central authority of the Throne Room, He chose the Lamb! Humanity's redeemed innocence is the theme of the Throne of heaven, forever! "Having accomplished purification of sin(s), He sat down......" His Throne is proof of humanity's redeemed innocence and status Now! Heb. 1:3.) And the city has no need of the sun, nor of the moon, that they might shine in it, for the glory of GOD illuminates it; The lamb is its lamp. And the Nations will conduct their lives in the Lamb's light; And the kings of the earth bring their glory [their people] into her. (Erasmus added, "of the ones saved" and so did innumerable editors, evidently following His authority without any further examination! Codex 1 dates from the 11th or 12th century, which Erasmus used in making his Greek text. The words, "of the ones saved" eventually became part of the Textus Receptus and were translated into the KJV and the NKJV. These words were not in the older manuscripts! Again a manipulation of the text in order to exclude the majority of the masses who didn't know or responded to the Good news! This reminds of a similar miss-translation of Isaiah 35:8, 10, "The highway in the wilderness will be called the Highway of holiness! It will be so obvious that no "unclean person" will miss it! Not even fools will get lost. This is their way of escape! Their salvation from the wilderness of their lost-ness!....And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with singing; Everlasting joy shall be upon their heads; They shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away!" See the beautiful context! Isaiah 35:1-6, "The wilderness and the dry land shall be glad, the desert shall rejoice and blossom; Like the crocus it shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice with joy and singing. The glory of Lebanon shall be given to it, the majesty of Carmel and Sharon. They shall see the glory of the LORD, the majesty of our GOD. Strengthen the weak hands, and make firm the feeble knees. Say to those who are of a fearful heart, "Be strong, fear not! Behold, our GOD will come and save you." Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf unstopped; Then shall the lame man leap like a hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing for joy. For waters shall break forth in the wilderness, and streams in the desert!") And your gates will be open continually! day or night they'll never be shut. (see Isaiah 60:11 and Zech. 14:7) And they will bring the glory and the honor of the Nations into her. The Nations will discover their redeemed, authentic doxa-identity and priceless value in the light of the Lamb! And no-one classified as [1]common will enter into her, nor anyone making an abomination or a lie; But only the ones whose lives are defined in the Lamb's Book of Life. That which were common, abominable and the fruit of deception were all dealt with in the Lamb's doing! Now, the Lamb's Book of Life defines us and never again our own doing! (The word, [1, G2839] koinos, means profane: - common, defiled, unclean, unholy, to have all things in common; [Acts 2:44, 4:32] reminds of the word, koinonia. But koinos, in this context, means common - non Jewish - often referring to the nations - see Acts 10:14-15, 28, "But Peter said, "No, Lord; For I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean." And the voice came back to him again a second time, 'What GOD has cleaned, you must not call common.'....and he (Peter) said to them, "You yourselves know how unlawful it is for a jew to associate with or to visit any one of another nation; But GOD has shown me that I should not call anyone common or unclean! Behold the Lamb of GOD who took away the sin of the world!!
Here John clearly records that the nations and their kings have been equally cleansed and embraced in innocence and are equally part of the Bride! Their old Jewish fears, perceptions and definitions have all been conclusively addressed!
Also Ephesians 3:14-15, "Overwhelmed by what grace communicates, I bow my knee in awe before Father. Every family in heaven and on the earth originated in Him; His is humanity's name and he remains the authentic identity of every Nation."
Isaiah saw the new Jerusalem-Bride in the context of the powerful prophetic salvation poetry recorded in Isa. 52:53-54.
Isaiah 52:1, "Awaken, awaken; Put on thy strength, O Zion; Put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean...(Notice to lack of the word, repent and any of its forms here. Addressing the city of Jerusalem in the feminine singular in Hebrew. The Jewish narrative explains the entire context of the Gospel!) (The Mirror, with editing.)
This concludes chapter 21, now for the author's notes of which there are two: 1/The New heaven and Earth, 2/The splendor of the gates - the redeemed beauty of the bride.
Until our next visit may the LORD of ALL increase our understand of Him.
New Jerusalem:
Revelation 21:22-27 "And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it. And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there. And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it. And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life." (KJV)
Revelation 21:22-27 "And I saw no temple in the city, for its temple is the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb. And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and its lamp is the Lamb. By its light will the nations walk, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it, and its gates will never be shut by day—and there will be no night there. They will bring into it the glory and the honor of the nations. But nothing unclean will ever enter it, nor anyone who does what is detestable or false, but only those who are written in the Lamb's book of life." (ESV)
Revelation 21:22-27, "I saw no temple in it, for the LORD GOD, the supreme power vested in the Lamb, is its temple. (The entire city is Now one Holy Temple of GOD. We are made kings and priests. Rev. 1:6, 21:3, "And glorious announcement was heralded out of the Throne, 'Behold, GOD's tabernacle is with the Human Race'" He has taken up permanent residence in humanity's skin to be with them in the closest possible association of seamless unity and oneness. Also Rev. 7:15, "The one seated upon the Throne is their tabernacle - He shelters them with His presence." It is almost unspeakable that of all the Biblical themes GOD has revealed, that He could now choose from to celebrate the central authority of the Throne Room, He chose the Lamb! Humanity's redeemed innocence is the theme of the Throne of heaven, forever! "Having accomplished purification of sin(s), He sat down......" His Throne is proof of humanity's redeemed innocence and status Now! Heb. 1:3.) And the city has no need of the sun, nor of the moon, that they might shine in it, for the glory of GOD illuminates it; The lamb is its lamp. And the Nations will conduct their lives in the Lamb's light; And the kings of the earth bring their glory [their people] into her. (Erasmus added, "of the ones saved" and so did innumerable editors, evidently following His authority without any further examination! Codex 1 dates from the 11th or 12th century, which Erasmus used in making his Greek text. The words, "of the ones saved" eventually became part of the Textus Receptus and were translated into the KJV and the NKJV. These words were not in the older manuscripts! Again a manipulation of the text in order to exclude the majority of the masses who didn't know or responded to the Good news! This reminds of a similar miss-translation of Isaiah 35:8, 10, "The highway in the wilderness will be called the Highway of holiness! It will be so obvious that no "unclean person" will miss it! Not even fools will get lost. This is their way of escape! Their salvation from the wilderness of their lost-ness!....And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with singing; Everlasting joy shall be upon their heads; They shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away!" See the beautiful context! Isaiah 35:1-6, "The wilderness and the dry land shall be glad, the desert shall rejoice and blossom; Like the crocus it shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice with joy and singing. The glory of Lebanon shall be given to it, the majesty of Carmel and Sharon. They shall see the glory of the LORD, the majesty of our GOD. Strengthen the weak hands, and make firm the feeble knees. Say to those who are of a fearful heart, "Be strong, fear not! Behold, our GOD will come and save you." Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf unstopped; Then shall the lame man leap like a hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing for joy. For waters shall break forth in the wilderness, and streams in the desert!") And your gates will be open continually! day or night they'll never be shut. (see Isaiah 60:11 and Zech. 14:7) And they will bring the glory and the honor of the Nations into her. The Nations will discover their redeemed, authentic doxa-identity and priceless value in the light of the Lamb! And no-one classified as [1]common will enter into her, nor anyone making an abomination or a lie; But only the ones whose lives are defined in the Lamb's Book of Life. That which were common, abominable and the fruit of deception were all dealt with in the Lamb's doing! Now, the Lamb's Book of Life defines us and never again our own doing! (The word, [1, G2839] koinos, means profane: - common, defiled, unclean, unholy, to have all things in common; [Acts 2:44, 4:32] reminds of the word, koinonia. But koinos, in this context, means common - non Jewish - often referring to the nations - see Acts 10:14-15, 28, "But Peter said, "No, Lord; For I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean." And the voice came back to him again a second time, 'What GOD has cleaned, you must not call common.'....and he (Peter) said to them, "You yourselves know how unlawful it is for a jew to associate with or to visit any one of another nation; But GOD has shown me that I should not call anyone common or unclean! Behold the Lamb of GOD who took away the sin of the world!!
Here John clearly records that the nations and their kings have been equally cleansed and embraced in innocence and are equally part of the Bride! Their old Jewish fears, perceptions and definitions have all been conclusively addressed!
Also Ephesians 3:14-15, "Overwhelmed by what grace communicates, I bow my knee in awe before Father. Every family in heaven and on the earth originated in Him; His is humanity's name and he remains the authentic identity of every Nation."
Isaiah saw the new Jerusalem-Bride in the context of the powerful prophetic salvation poetry recorded in Isa. 52:53-54.

"The Secrets of GOD," as revealed by John in the Revealtion of Christ, chapter 21:4 hidden insights, with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.
The LORD is in the process of revealing all that humanity aught to be and become these days by showing the divide that is fictitiously dividing humanity and the Nations. But we are not about this for we are looking into the deep things of Christ's Revelation and now the city hidden from vision in the heavenly realm, giving a description of it, and more.
New Jerusalem:
Revelation 21:15-21 "And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof. And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal. And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel. And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass. And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald; The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst. And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass." (KJV)
Revelation 21:15-21 "And the one who spoke with me had a measuring rod of gold to measure the city and its gates and walls. The city lies foursquare, its length the same as its width. And he measured the city with his rod, 12,000 stadia. Its length and width and height are equal. He also measured its wall, 144 cubits by human measurement, which is also an angel's measurement. The wall was built of jasper, while the city was pure gold, like clear glass. The foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with every kind of jewel. The first was jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald, the fifth onyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, the twelfth amethyst. And the twelve gates were twelve pearls, each of the gates made of a single pearl, and the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass." (ESV)
Revelation 21:15-21, "The one speaking with me had a golden reed wherewith to measure the city, its gates, and its wall. And the city was structured in a perfect quadrangular cube. And he measured the city with this reed at twelve thousand stadia; Its length and width and height are equal. (As eight furlongs make a mile, the extent of the walls, therefore, must have been three hundred and seventy-five miles each. [15000 miles divided by 4]. The symbolism of this picture emphasizes that its height, three hundred and seventy-five miles, suggests a fusion with the heavens, and is equal to its width and length. [Earth's atmosphere is about 300 miles.] The vertical dimensions equal the horizontal dimensions - the bride-city's relationship with the Bridegroom in her fusion with heaven equally translates to he horizontal relationships on earth. A perfect cube like the Holy of Holies in Solomon's temple. 1Kings 6:19-20.
Adam Clarke suggests that, "the quadrangular form intimates its perfect and stability, for the square figure was a figure of perfection among the Greeks; τετράγωνος, the square or cubical man, was, with them, a man of unsullied integrity, perfect in all things.") And he also measured its wall, a hundred and forty four cubits; His measure was the stature of a man which is the measure of the prophetic Shepherd-Messenger [The Incarnate Messiah]. ( Eph. 4:13, ...."to bring everyone into the realization of the fullness of the measure of Christ in them!" The word, xristos, the Anointed one, is from (G5548) χρίω chrio, to smear or rub with oil, to anoint; To draw the hand over, to measure; Form (G5495) χείρ cheir, hand. [We still measure the height of horses by hand - ie. "A seventeen hand horse!"] See also the Hebrew for Messiah (H4899), mashach, to draw the hand over, to measure! [Analytical Hebrew and Chaldee Lexicon, B Daidson] In Jesus Christ, GOD has measured humanity innocent, He is the blueprint of our original design! Christ in us defines who we all are! He measures our true identity, our sonship that never was broken, our true value, our innocence and our royalty.
see Isaiah 60:18, "You shall call your walls Salvation, (H3444) יְשׁוּעָה yeshû‛âh, and your gates Praise." see the note on The Measure of the Temple at the end of chapter 11.) And the structure of its wall was jsper; And the city pure gold, like pure glass. And the thresholds of every gate in the wall of the city was beautifully adorned with every precious stone: The first threshold, jasper; The seond, sapphire; The third, chalcedony; The fourth, emerald; The fifth, sardonyx; The sixth, sardius; The seventh, chrysolite; The eighth, beryl; The ninth, topaz; The tenth, chrysoprasus; The eleventh, [1, (G5192)]hyacinth; The twelfth, amethyst. (The twelve gems correspond closely with the twelve stones on the priest's breastplate, of Ex. 28:17-20, 39:10. The Hebrew term for the breastplate, (H2833) חֹשֶׁן chôshen (hosen), appears to be named from its appearance, probably derived from the same source as Arabic (hasuna), meaning "to be beautiful." see Ez. 28:12-13. see the note on The splendor of the Gates - The redeemed beauty of the Bride at the end of this chapter.) And each one of the twelve gates were an individual giant pearl. And the streets of the city are purest gold like transparent glass." (The Mirror, with editing.)
Until our next visit may our LORD confirm His revelation within each one of us and those still asleep in the world around us. For they all are Redeemed!

"The Secrets of GOD," as revealed by John in the Revealtion of Christ, chapter 21:3 hidden insights, with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.
We are looking at the things that have commonly been over looked or misunderstood by the religious theologians, within the context of John's Revelation of Christ and all that is "CHRIST." Much of which is taken from the Old Testament and not properly applied to this book by gross misunderstandings; Because of its symbolism and Jewish language, making use of picture talk and the old mythology, customs and traditions of the Jewish and pagan past. All of which GOD in His Wisdom is now opening up for the world to see and hear like never before in humanity's history. Today's subject begins with a look to the New Jerusalem.
New Jerusalem:
Revelation 21:9-14 "And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife. And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal; And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel: On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates. And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb." (KJV)
Revelation 21:9-14 "Then came one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues and spoke to me, saying, "Come, I will show you the Bride, the wife of the Lamb." And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great, high mountain, and showed me the holy city Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God, having the glory of God, its radiance like a most rare jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal. It had a great, high wall, with twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and on the gates the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel were inscribed— on the east three gates, on the north three gates, on the south three gates, and on the west three gates. And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.' (ESV)
Revelation 21:9-14, "And one of the seven angels, having the seven vessels being filled with the seven last wounds, came to me and spoke thusly to me, saying, "Come, I will show you the bride, the Lamb's wife." (The (G3564 a primary but obsolete verb νύπτω nuptō (to veil as a bride; compare the Latin “nupto,” to marry) numphe, Bride, is placed in sharp contrast with the (G4204 feminine of G4205 pornos, from πέρνημι pernēmi (to sell, to traffic)porne, Harlot, see same setting in Rev. 17:1, also Rev. 15:6-7, "And the seven Shepherd-Messengers representing the seven wounds proceeded out of the inner shrine being arrayed in spotlessly clean linen shining with the radiant brightness of a precious stone and with golden girdles wrapped around their chests. And one of the four living creatures gave each of the Shepherd-Messengers a typical temple vessel; A broad shallow saucer of pure gold, filled with the coals from the bronze altar where the Lamb was sacrificed - this is the passion of GOD. These golden fare-pans were loaded with the entire meaning of the sacrifice! This golden saucer was for the purpose of carrying fire, in order to burn incense on the day of Atonement once a year in the ultimate place of worship.) He carried me away in spirit onto a great and high mountain, and pointed out to me the holy city, Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from GOD. (see Ezra 40:2. See the language of Rev. 17:7.) Possessing the glory of GOD her radiance resembled a very precious and flawless jasper stone, transparent like crystal. She had an impressive high wall with twelve gates and the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel inscribed in them. (see Eze. 48:31-34, the gates of the city being named after the tribes of Israel.) From the east, three gates; From the north, three gates; From the south, three gates; and from the west, three gates. And the wall of the city had twelve foundations or thresholds to the gates, and in them the names of the twelve Apostles of the Lamb. (see Ephesians 2:17-22, "On that basis He made His public appearance, proclaiming the Good News of peace to the entire human race; Both those who felt left out in the cold (as far as the promises and covenants were concerned), as well as to those who were near all along (because of their Jewish identity). Because of Christ both Jew and Gentile now enjoying equal access to their Father in one Spirit. The conclusion is clear; You are no longer frowned upon as a foreigner; You are where you belong and are part of an intimate family! Your lives now give tangible definition/expression to the spiritual structure, having been built into it by GOD upon the foundation that the Prophets and Apostles proclaimed. The first evidence of this building is Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone. (He is that Rock, the visible testimony to the restoration image and likeness of GOD in human form, of Genesis 1:26-27, 2:7.) In Him everyone of us are like [1]living Lego blocks fitted together of the same fabric (1, conversation), giving ever [2]increasing articulation to a global mobile [3]sanctuary intertwined in the LORD. (The word, [1, G4883] sunarmologeo, comes from sun, meaning abiding, seamless union, and harmo meaning harmony, and logeo, meaning conversation. The word, [2, G387] auxano, means to grow, expanding growth, not stagnant. The word, [3, G3485 from a primary word ναίω naiō (to dwell)] naos, is translated as the most sacred dwelling space.) In Him we are co-constructed together as GOD's permanent spiritual residence. We are GOD's address! As light merges from two directions to form One Ray or sharp beam a lazier of bright intensity. GOD is that light! And we become one with Him!) (The Mirror, with editing.)
Until our next visit when we shall carry this on. May the LORD of All bring us to His revelation.

"The Secrets of GOD," as revealed by John in the Revealtion of Christ, chapter 21:2 hidden insights, with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.
We are looking at the New Heaven and New Earth as described by John in Revelation 21.
The New Heaven and The New Earth:
Revelation 21:5-8, 17:4 "And he that sat upon the throne said, "'Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, "Write: for these words are true and faithful. And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death'"....And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication." (KJV)
Revelation 21:5-8, 17:4 "And he who was seated on the throne said, "Behold, I am making all things new." Also he said, "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true." And he said to me, "It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the thirsty I will give from the spring of the water of life without payment. The one who conquers will have this heritage, and I will be his God and he will be my son. But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death."...... The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and jewels and pearls, holding in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of her sexual immorality." (ESV)

Rev 21:6 AndG2532 he saidG2036 unto me,G3427 It is done.G1096 IG1473 amG1510 (G3588) AlphaG1 andG2532 (G3588) Omega,G5598 theG3588 beginningG746 andG2532 theG3588 end.G5056 IG1473 will giveG1325 unto him that is athirstG1372 ofG1537 theG3588 fountainG4077 of theG3588 waterG5204 of lifeG2222 freely.G1432
Rev 21:7 He that overcomethG3528 shall inheritG2816 all things;G3956 andG2532 I will beG2071 hisG848 God,G2316 andG2532 heG846 shall beG2071 myG3427 son.G5207
Rev 21:8 ButG1161 the fearful,G1169 andG2532 unbelieving,G571 andG2532 the abominable,G948 andG2532 murderers,G5406 andG2532 whoremongers,G4205 andG2532 sorcerers,G5332 andG2532 idolaters,G1496 andG2532 allG3956 liars,G5571 shall have theirG848 partG3313 inG1722 theG3588 lakeG3041 which burnethG2545 with fireG4442 andG2532 brimstone:G2303 which isG3603 the secondG1208 death.G2288
Revelation 21:5-8, 17:4, "And the One seated on the Throne said, 'Behold, I make all things new!' And He instructed me to write, because these words are true and to be relied on! (Isaiah 43:18, "Do not remember former things, nor consider the things of old.") And He said to me, 'Everything is now [1]fully accomplished. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the sum total of the entire prophetic conversation concerning humanity's redemption. I am both the origin and the conclusion of all things. Anyone thirsty can come and drink freely from the gift of the waters of life direct from its source! ( The word [1, gegonan, is from G1096] ginomai, a prolonged and middle form of a primary verb; to cause to be (“gen” -erate), to make or give birth is in the Perfect Active Indicative Tense denoting an action which is completed in the past, but the effects of which are regarded as continuing into the present. Isaiah 55:1-3, "'Ho, every one who thirsts, come to the waters; And he who has no money, come, but and eat! Come, buy wine and the finest wheat without money and without price. Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your labor for that which does not satisfy? Hearken diligently to Me, and eat what is good, and delight yourselves in fatness. Incline your ear, and come to me; Hear, that your soul may live; And I will make with you an everlasting covenant, My steadfastness, sure Agape for David.'") The conquering one inherits all things and I will be GOD to him and he will be My son. ( This was said of Solomon - 2Samuel 7:13-14, "'He shall build a house for My name, and I will establish the Throne of His kingdom for ever. I will be His (his) Father and He (he) shall be My son.'" (we can see yourselves within the context of this quote from a redeemed mindset.) And applied to David in Psalm 89:26-27, "'He shall cry to Me, 'You are My Father, My GOD, and the Rock of My Salvation (resurrection and ascension).' And I will make Him, the first-born [Jesus], the Highest of the kings of the earth.'") The [1]fear-driven and unbelieving, those having become [2]rotten (wicked) to the core; sex peddlers and sorcerers, idolaters and deceivers, their measure is in the [3]Lake burning with brimstone; This is the Second Death.'" ([1, G1169 from δέος deos (dread) ] deilos, means timid, from doeis; An adjective derived from deido, to be fear-driven.
The word, [2, G948 from δέος deos (dread) to stink] dbelusso, to become rotten, adhorred, foul; Is from dbelugma derivative of dbeo - to stink.
Rev. 17:4, "The woman was draped in purple and scarlet fabric, festooned and sprinkled with golden glitter and ornaments; She was elaborately decorated with gold, precious stones and pearls. Holding a golden chalice in her hand, brimming with defiling obscenities, and the stench of her impurities. ( G948, βδελύσσω bdelussō, dbelugma, derivative ofβδέω bdeō - to stink. again the surface, make-belief beauty and apparent splendor cannot hide her true filthy character - like the white washed tombs Jesus compared these to religious systems to. 'Hypocrites! You are so careful to clean the outside of the cup and the dish, but the inside you leave filthy - full of greed and self-indulgences! You are like whitewashed tombs, which outwardly appear beautiful, but within you are full of dead people's bones and all uncleanness.'" Mat. 23:25, 27.) (The Mirror, with editing.)
