We are now in the second portion, "The Abyss," of three notes written by our author on chapter 9 of the Revelation, of Christ's return to His and our home. The Father having in and through the man Jesus, redeemed all of His humanity to their original state of innocence as promised in Genesis 3:15 and other Scriptures there after, each backing the other in heavenly prophetic language poetry, lair upon lair.
Revelation 20:1-2; Job 11:7-9, 26:5-7, 28:22, 31:12, Proverbs 15:11, Genesis 1:1-2, Psalm 135:6, Romans 10:6-11,Revelation 5:13:
Revelation 20:1-2, 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 lay over His hand. (Ephesians 4:8-9, He who ascended in 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. The star was given the key to the shaft into the fathomless depths of the Abyss. [Jesus is the bright Morning Star, Rev. 2:28 and 22:16, I am the bright Morning Star! Also 2Peter 1:1-19]) And He overpowered the Dragon, in its every disguise as the old Serpent in the garden in Genesis, also called the Devil, or going under the name, Satan, and chained him up for a thousand years. ( From David to Jesus is a thousand years! Rev. 3:7, I hold the key of David as prophesied in Isaiah 22:12! Yes, I unlock the mysteries of the heavenly dimensions and no one can shut the door! And lock the entrance and none [of the old mindsets] 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. 12:28, 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 also John 5:28, Do not be alarmed by this, but the hour is coming when those in the graves will hear his voice! [No-one who ever lived will escape the extent of his righteous judgment! Those who have forgotten who they are will hear his incarnate voice! The word of grave, mnemeion, 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 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.]
Thus, in prophetic language, every definition of the Satanas-system is already chained by the prophetic significance of Scripture recorded in the Psalms and the Prophets. The Spirit of Christ within them pointed to and concluded in the Cross and resurrection of Jesus Christ. His death was the doorway into the very domain wherein humanity was held captive, to be freed and led out triumphantly as the Lamb's trophies! In symbolic language, the effect of Jesus' victory is compared to a thousand years. Against the very brief 3 days of His cross, descent into hell and resurrection, on the one hand as well as the very "brief" time of the Devil's apparent release on the planet! See Extended Notes on The Thousand Years at the end of chapter 20.)
Job 11:7-9 "Do you think you can explain the mystery of GOD? Do you think you can diagram GOD Almighty? GOD is far higher than you can imagine, far deeper than the depths of Sheol, streching farther than earth's horizons, far wider then the endless ocean."
Job 26:5-7 "The souls of the dead tremble beneath the water, and so do the creatures living there. Sheol is naked in GOD'S presence, and Abaddon has no clothing. He stretches out His heavens over empty space. He hangs the earth on nothing whatsoever. Abaddon and Death say, "We have heard a rumor of it with our ears!"
Job 31:12 "For that would be a fire which consumes unto Abaddon, and it would burn to the root all my increase."
Proverbs 15:11 "Sheol and Abaddon lie open before the LORD how much more the hearts of men!"
Genesis 1:1-2 "In the beginning GOD created the heavens and the earth; and the earth being without form and empty, and darkness was on the face of the deep, [abussos] and the Spirit of GOD moving gently on the face of the waters." (The word, (H8415) abussos - Abyss, the fathomless Deep.)
Psalm 135:6 "Whatever the LORD pleases he does, in heaven and on earth, in the seas and the abyss."
Romans 10:6-10, 10:10 "But faith finds its voice in something much closer to a person than their most disciplined efforts to obey the (Mosaic) Law (of Condemnation by works of self effort, religions bondage of unbelief (a level 6 human forms number in it fallen state, never reaching the level of perfect a number 8 in GOD'S eyes). Faith understands that Christ is no longer a distant promise; neither is he reduced to a mere historic hero. he is humanity's righteousness now! Christ is no longer hidden somewhere in the heavens realm as a future hope. For the Jews to continue to ask GOD to send their Messiah is a waste of time! That is not the language of faith. Faith knows that the Messiah is not roaming somewhere in the region of the dead. "Who will descend into the abyss to bring Christ back from the dead," is not the issue or language of faith. (Those who deny the resurrection of Christ would wish to send someone to go there and confirm their doubts and fears, and bring back final proof that Jesus was not their Messiah. Faith announces a righteousness that reveals that humanity has indeed been co-raised together with Christ; The testimony of the risen Christ is confirmed within the heart and life of every believer.) Faith-righteousness announces that every definition of distance in time, space, or hostility has been cancelled (as a old worthless IOU). Faith says, 'The Word is near you. It is as close to you as your voice and the conviction of your heart.' We publicly announce this message (because we are convinced that it belongs to everyone). Now your salvation is realized! Your own [1]words echo GOD'S voice. The unveiling of the masterful act of Jesus forms the words in your mouth, inspired by the conviction in your heart that GOD indeed raised Him from the dead. (In His resurrection, GOD co-raised us [Hosea 6:2-3]. His resurrection declares our innocence [Rom. 4:25]. Salvation is not reduced to a recipe or a "sinners prayer" formula; It is the spontaneous inevitable conversation of a persuaded heart! To confess, [1] homologeo, homo, the same thing + logeo, to say) Heart-faith confirms the fact of humanity's righteousness and ignites the kind of conversation consistent with salvation. (He restored us to blameless innocence! It is impossible not to boldly announce news of such global consequences [Isaiah 40:9].)
Revelation 5:13 "At that point the entire universe burst out in praise! I heard every creature being in the heavenly realm and upon the earth and under the earth, and upon the ocean and everything within all these spheres, declaring to the One seated upon the Throne and to the Lamb: "The most articulate language, the admiration, the supreme magnificence, the might until the ages of the ages!" (The Mirror, with editing.)
In our next visit the LORD willing we shall look at the last of three notes titled "Idols and Demons of man's own Making and Imagination." Until then may the LORD of increase increase our knowledge and understanding of Him, in all wisdom. This morning in the wee hours the LORD showed what I had witnesses myself that evening, a few hours earlier. In a group setting of Bible Study on the word love and its two flesh meaning and a touch on the heavenly Agape. What He showed me was this: That once we as humanity awaken to our own redeemed state we acquire His state of Agape this making us no longer a mere 6 but and 8, the state in which Jesus lived moved and had His being in our human form. However religion ties this action up by keeping the false-narrative of an 7 state, this was the state of Jesus' disciples. In this state no human reaches an 8 because again of unbelief in the lack of the incarnate within them.
