"The Secret of GOD," as revealed by John in the Revelation of Christ, chapter 14:14, with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.

Beginning verse 14 of Revelation 14 where discover what at first glance appears to be the LORD dressed in white with a golden wreath on His head. Lets drop in to see what John sees, shall we.


Revelation 14:14-16 "And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle. And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, "Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe." And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped." (KJV)

Revelation 14:14-16 "Then I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and seated on the cloud one like a son of man, with a golden crown on his head, and a sharp sickle in his hand. And another angel came out of the temple, calling with a loud voice to him who sat on the cloud, "Put in your sickle, and reap, for the hour to reap has come, for the harvest of the earth is fully ripe." So he who sat on the cloud swung his sickle across the earth, and the earth was reaped." (ESV)

Revelation 14:14-16 "I looked, and behold, I saw a white cloud and One who mirror reflects the Son of Man with His head crowned in a golden wreath of victory. He was seated upon the cloud and in His hand He held a razor sharp pruning-hook. (See the extended note on the Son of Man is the Son of GOD at the end of chapter 2.) Another Shepherd-Messenger appeared out of the most holy place of the temple and with a loud voice addressed the One seated upon the cloud, saying, "Thrust forth your pruning hook, your hour has come-this is Your moment to reap for the earth's harvest is ready." (See John 4:31-36.) And the One seated upon the cloud completed the earth's wheat harvest with a single sweep of His sickle! ( The gathering of the full harvest of both the wheat as well as the wine, endorses the dawn of the New Covenant pictured in his broken body and shed blood.) (The Mirror, with editing.)

I shall start with verse 18 in our next visit the LORD willing. But until then may He increase His light and essence within each one of us, as we share of His humanity as One.
