"The Secret of GOD," as revealed by John in the Revelation of Christ, between the chapter notes of chapter 17-2d, with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.

Picking up the pieces of our deep dive into "The Day of the LORD - The Fullness of Time - The Hour has Come," of chapter 17 in Revelation. We should finish our close look into this foreboding mystery. With a look back into what was before the Cross futuristic prophecy.

End Times - Eschatology

The Day of the LORD - The Fullness of Time - The Hour has Come!

John 5:27-29, 6:39, "The Father has also given the son of man authentic authority to execute judgment on humanity's behalf! (The word (G1849 from G1832 exesti, a third person singular present indicative of a compound of G1537 and G1510 ) exousia, is often translated authority, has two components, (G1537) ek, meaning out of source, and (G1510) eimi, meaning I am!) Do not be alarmed by this, for 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 for (G3419) grave, mnemeion, means memory, and suggests a remembrance! Like David prophesied in Psalm 22, when he saw the cross-crisis [krisis-judgment] this happened a thousand years before it actually 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 (Mat. 27:51b [following the time break of ;]-54). In Adam all died; In Christ all are made alive (born from above).) 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 unto judgment. (In the context of John chapter 6:28-29 the work that is required is not a duty to be performed but a gift to be embraced - If our own good behavior could earn us salvation then there would be no point in Jesus' dying our death! - This would be in conflict with the essence and crux of the gospel! It reminds us of 2Corinthians 5:10, "For we must all 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 verse in the Mirror - 2Corinthians 5:10, For we have all been thoroughly scrutinized in the judgment of Jesus. We are taken care of and restored to the life of our origin, regardless of what happens to us in our individual lives, whatever amazing or meaningless thing we encountered in this body. (see 5:14, 16. We are mirrored in His life; His life reflects ours, not as an example for us but of us. See 2Corinthians 3:18. The word, (G4383) phaneroo, means to render apparent, to openly declare, to manifest. Paul uses the Aorist Infinitive tense phanerothenai, not referring to a future event. The Aorist 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. The word, komitzo, comes from 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 afflictions he suffered, neither was it 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 perform 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)

John 6:39, "'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 [3]completeness of time!'" (This is His gift to Me (Psalm 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 - See John 6:39-40, 44, 54. Also John 4:23, The end of an era has arrived - the future is here! Whatever prophetic values were expressed in external devotional forms and rituals are now eclipsed in true spirit worship from within us - face to face with Father - acknowledging our genesis in Him - this is His delight! Father's desire is the worshiper more than the worship!)

Ephesians 1:10, "In the economy of the fullness of time, everything culminated in Christ. All that is in heaven and all that is on earth is reconciled in Him. Jesus is the consummation of the ages!"

Hebrews 10:37, "Time becomes insignificant once the promise is realized. Remember how the promise of His imminent appearance was recorded in Scripture." (The arrival of Jesus is the fulfillment of the promise and the realizing of righteousness by faith, as Habakkuk prophesied. [Hab. 2:2-4] He is the fullness of time. [Gal. 4:4])

1Thessalonians 2:19, "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 from the present participle of G3918 pareimi from G3844 and G1510] parousia speaks of the immediate presence of the LORD! 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, of residence, to have sprung from its author and giver, originating from, denoting the point from which an action originated, intimate connection; and (G1510) eimi, "I am!" There is not even a hint of judgment or punishment in this word! Please do not believe everything read in Strong's! "G3952, parousia, is from the present Participle of G3918, a being near, that is, advent; Often, return, specifically of Christ to punish Jerusalem, or finally the wicked." !!!????) see the notes on The Day of the LORD, in the introduction to Revelation. (The Mirror, with editing.)

This concludes our deep dive into "End Times." Our next visit will bring us to "The Triumph of the Lamb," the third of four notes. Until then may the LORD help us all!
