Continuing with our introduction and the new approach to look at Revelation as found in the Mirror Study Bible as it is reflected in a born again son of GOD. Which has obedience to the words of inspiration given him and received by GODS faith as GOD is faithful to his word. For we give to GOD all that his faith requires of us, faith for faith and grace for grace which like mercy is new every morning Lamentations 3:22. And because I do not like titles or letters of various degrees behind a person name I will say this. When we come to understand who and how GOD sees and knows us once we have awakened as from a deep sleep we become who we are Christ (son's of GOD inside minded) in humanity just as Jesus represented to his counter parts of Israel or of Jewish decent, who by the way also represented humanity in his own flesh as us. For we have become GODS peculiar people a priesthood a people restored to his knowledge, a holy nation of GOD'S own. Servant to all and masters of none. (Exodus 19:5, Deuteronomy 14:2, 26:18, Psalm 135:4, Ecclesiastes 2:8; Titus 2:14, 1Peter 2:9)
The Mirror:
Eschatology Redeemed:
Revelation 1:17, Observing all this, I fell at his feet like a dead man; Then, kneeling down, he ordained me with his right hand upon me and said, 'Do not be afraid! I am the origin and the conclusion [eschatology] of all things. Look at Isaiah 44:6.
Hebrews 1:1, Throughout ancient times GOD spoke in many fragments and glimpses of prophetic thought to our fathers. Now, this entire conversation has finally dawned in our sonship. In these last days (eschatos) GOD has spoken to us in the radiance of our redeemed sonship and innocence! Suddenly, the tender grass! [Look at Deuteronomy 32:1-4] He is the sum total of every utterance of GOD. He is whom the Prophets pointed to and we are his immediate audience! (What GOD said about 'you-manity' and their redeemed sonship and innocence in Jesus, defines eschatology! "Having accomplished purification of sins, he sat down!" (Hebrews 1:3)
John 6:39-40, My Sender's desire is for me to rescue every single individual-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 [3]completeness of time! (This is his gift to me, [1] ho dedoke moi. The phrase, [2] hina pan apoleso ex auto, means, that I should lose nothing out of it. In the conclusion/fullness of time - [3]te escate hemera - This phrase occurs only in John - in chapters 6:39-40, 54. Look also at 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 worshipper more than the worship!) And this is the desire of my Father, that every one 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 on the [3]final day! (The word [1] theoreo means to gaze attentively. Look at 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]eschatos means extreme; Last in time or is space; The uttermost part, the final conclusion. What GOD said about 'you-manitu' in their co-resurrection in Jesus, defines eschatology! Hebrews 1:1-3; Ephesians 2:5-6.)
1Peter 1:20, He was always destined in GOD'S prophetic thought; GOD knew even before the [1]fall of the world order that his Son would be the Lamb, to be made manifest in these [2]last days, because of you! (You are the reason Jesus died and was raised! The word, [1]kataballo, means "to fall away, to put in a lower place," instead of themelios, meaning "foundation" [look at Ephesians 2:20]; Thus, translated "the fall of the world," instead of "the foundation of the world." The entire "Fall" was a falling away in our minds from our true identity as image and likeness beares of Elohim. Just like Eve, were we all deceived to believe a lie about ourselves, which is the fruit of the "I-am-not-tree." We all, like sheep have gone astray [Isaiah 53:6]. The word, [2]eschatos means extreme; Last in time or in space; The uttermost part, the final conclusion.)
The Son of man is the Son of GOD:
Revelation 1:13-16, And encircled by the lamp-stands there was one who appeared to be of human offspring, a son of man! Clothed with a long robe and with a golden girdle round his chest. (Look at Isaiah 6:1, I saw the Lord sitting on a high and lofty Throne and the train of his robes filled the Temple. The lavish splendor and grandeur of his royal majesty was the very atmosphere of the temple.) His head of hair was luminous white, like wool covered in fresh, shiny snow and his eyes were ablaze with fire. (Resembling the Ancient of days! Seen in Daniel 7:9 and 10:6. His body also was like beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet alike in color to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude.) His feet looked like brilliant bronze fashioned in a furnace and his voice was like the sound of many cascading waterfalls. (Triumphant in the fiery furnace of the altar/cross!) In his right hand he held seven stars and his words were like a sharp two-edged sword proceeding from his mouth. His face shone like the sun in it's full strength.
Revelation 2:18, Write also to the leader of the Ekklesia in Thyatira. The Son of GOD with eyes ablaze and feet shining like burnished bronze says...(Here jesus introduces himself as the son of GOD! The Rock foundation of the Ekklesia that Jesus is both the Architect and Master-builder of, is the unveiling Father! The son of man [Revelation 1:13] is the son of GOD! Blessed are you, Simon, son of Jonah! Flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but my Father! I say, you are Rock, a chip [petros] of the old Block [petra]! And upon this petra, I will build my Ekklesia and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it. This is in Matthew 16:13-19.
See Deuteronomy 32:18, You were unmindful of the Rock that gegot you, and you forgot the GOD who gave you birth. Also at Isaiah 51:1, Look to the Rock from which you were hewn, the quarry from which you were dug!
Here in Revelation 2:18, as in Rev. 1:15, his feet looked like brilliant, burnished bronze fashioned in a furnace. (Hell's fire where he went shortly after his death to proclaim the Gospel to those waiting him in Abraham's bosom.) As the Lamb of GOD who presented his body in sacrifice on the "Bronze Altar," he descended into mankind's deepest darkness and triumphantly led humanity out into a place where the enemies of the human race [the Satanas-System] are made our footstool! Look at Hebrews 1:13, You are the extension of my right hand, my executive authority; Take your position and witness how I make your enemies a place upon which you may rest your feet. Also 1Corinthians 15:25, His dominion is destined to subdue all hostility and contradiction under his feet. (The lowest part of the human body will equally share in this victory. Psalm 110:1, The Lord said to my Lord, sit at my right hand until I make your enemies your footstool. Jesus is LORD of Lords; In his victory humanity is restored to lordship; "I say you are gods, all of you are sons of the Most High." [Psalm 82:6 RSV] Matthew 22:42-45.) (The Mirror, with editing.)
Until our next visit may the LORD increase our understanding of all that He is.
