"The Secrets of GOD," as revealed by John in the Revealtion of Christ, chapter 19's hidden insights, part 1a of 4, with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.

I stated in the last post how John mirrored much of what Paul did when he opened up the mysteries/secret things of GOD as revealed to those who are in Christ and have the essence, sentence of Christ within them. They having seen the risen and ascended LORD of ALL. They know what many only wish that they would. For those who do, do so, because within them resides the incarnate LORD Christ. They are the fruit of His Name the Vine. Who also have a renewed mindset to see as it has always been One God in the trinity of One person Elohim our true and abiding Father the source of our own origin by His design. That part of us that received Redemption, His image and likeness, His divine righteousness our innocence.

The Hidden Name:

Revelation 19:11-12, "Then, in my vision, heaven opened and I saw a white horse appear and the Name of the one seated upon this horse is Faithful and True. Righteousness spans the range of His judgment and warfare. And His eyes were like flashing flames of fire. His head was adorned with many royal diadems. He has a Name written upon Him which He alone understands, no one recognizes him by that Name." (The Jews knew GOD as the "unpronounceable Name," and therefore called Him, HaShem - The Name! See commentary on Rev. 1:4, ....He who is I am; He always was and will continually be the accompanying one.... This phraseology is purely Jewish, and taken from the Tetragrammaton. The Four Letters referring to the unpronounceable Name of GOD - YHVH - Jaweh "Existing" includes in itself all time, past present, and future. Hidden in this word are three words, hajah, was, havah, is, and jahjah, shall be. They could not connect this most sacred Name to the Messiah-Christ, JESUS, born in Bethlehem, condemned and crucified by them!")

John 1:11, "It was not as though He arrived on a foreign planet; He came to His own, yet His own did not recognized Him." ( The Jews should have been the first to recognize Him!)

Isaiah 7:14, "Therefore the LORD Himself will give you a sign. Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call His Name Immanuel." (Strong's Dictionary of Hebrew words shows this, H6005, ‛immânû'êl, [from H5973 ‛im, (from H6004 ‛âmam, a primitive root; to associate;) adverb or preposition, with (that is, in conjunction with), in varied applications; specifically equally with]  and [from H410 'êl, (a shortened from H352 'ayil, a chief); strength; as adjective mighty; especially the Almighty] with suffix pronoun inserted; with us (is) God.)

John 1:45-48, "Phillip immediately went looking for Nathaniel and told him the news! We have found the one Moses wrote about in the Torah and He whom the Prophets announced when they spoke about Jesus, [the Savior] the son of Joseph from Nazareth. ( See Deuteronomy 18:15, 18 "The LORD your GOD will raise up for you a Prophet like me from among you, from your brethern - Him you shall heed....'I will raise up for them a Prophet like you from among their brethern; And I will put My words in His mouth, and He shall speak to them all that I command Him.'" Genesis 49:10, "The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor the ruler's staff from between His feet, until He come to whom it belongs; And to Him shall be the obedience of the peoples." Isaiah 7:14, "Therefore the LORD Himself will give you a sign. Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and you shall call His Name Immanuel. Also Isaiah 53:1-12, 9:6-7, "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder: and His Name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty GOD, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and peace there shall be no end, upon the Throne of David, and upon His kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this." Daniel 9:24-27, Jeremiah 23:5-6. Also John 5:39-40, "'You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; And it is they that bear witness of Me; Yet you refuse to come to Me that you may have life.'" John 5:46-47, "'If you believed Moses, you would believe Me, for he wrote of Me. But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?'") To which Nathaniel answered, "How does Nazareth fit into the picture of GOD'S promised goodness?" Phillip said to him, "Come and see for yourself!" (The "what good thing?" of Nathaniel refers to Scriptures like Jeremiah 33:14-15, "'Behold, the days come,' says the LORD, 'that I will perform that good thing which I have promised. In those days and at that time I will cause a righteous Branch to spring forth form David; And He shall execute justice and righteousness in the land.'" Also Micah 5:2, "'But you, Oh Bethlehem Ephrathah, who are the least among the clans of Judah, from you shall come forth for Me one who is to be ruler in Israel, whose origin is from of old, from ancient days.'" Nathanael's question seems to imply, that not Nazareth, but Bethlehem, was to be the birth-place of the Messiah.) When Jesus saw Nathaniel approach Him, He made the following observation, 'Now here is a man of Israel, in whom there is no guile!' (Note the wisdom of Jesus, instead of engaging Nathaniel in a doctrinal debate around the Scriptures, he endorsed him!) Nathaniel was surprised! "How can you possibly know me if we have never met?" Jesus answered him, 'Long before Phillip spoke to you, I saw you under the fig tree!'" (The Mirror, with editing.)

With our next visit we shall the LORD willing continue this deep search. Now, may our LORD increase our understanding of Him.
