"The Secrets of GOD," as revealed by John in the Revealtion of Christ, chapter 19's hidden insights, part 3f of 4, with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.

We just looked closer at our blood covenant up which the New and abiding Covenant of Grace is deeply rooted, in Christ. A place that few religious people know of or even think about in the depth that we went into it. For if they knew what we now know they would hear the Voice of GOD spoken long ago saying to them, 'Come out from among them, My child, I want you with Me.' Okay, now we shall look into the double blow that the Whore of Babylon suffered by the Lamb's sacrifice.


The Wine-press of the "Wrath" or more correctly the Passion of GOD and The Supper:

Revelation 18:6-21, 24, "The Lamb's suffering dealt a double blow to the whore and Beast-system! The counterfeit cup she had mixed turned on her and proved to be her defeat. (Give back to her as also she gave back to you, and double to her double, according to her works. In the cup which she mixed, mix to her double. LITV

Their apparently initial victory in the brutal unjust trial and crucifixion of the Lamb turned against their tyranny in double measure - not only were they outwitted in His death, when the documents of humanity's guilt in the scarred body of Jesus' human form was nailed to the cross, whereby every possible claim against the human race was nullified, but in His resurrection GOD presented the receipt, documenting the justification and redeemed righteousness of the entire human race.

This reminds of what the Prophet Isaiah saw, in 40:2, "Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and cry to her that her warfare is ended, that her iniquity is pardoned, that she has received from the LORD's hand double for all her sins."

The judgment that sin has bought in its hellish torment as inevitable consequence upon humanity is Now atoned for in double proportions in the Lamb's suffering and in the reversal of the Lamb's judgment brought upon all principalities and powers.) This is a complete reversal of her self-inflated glory and luxurious lifestyle to the exposure of her falsehood - like when metal is [1]tested with a touchstone and proves to be fool's gold - and gladness is turned into sorrow. You said in your heart, I am established as a queen and not a widow - I will not know grief. ( The word [1, G929] torment basanismos is from (G928) basanizo to test metals by the touchstone, which is a black siliceous stone used to test the purity of gold or silver by the color of the streak produced on it by rubbing it with either metal - a piece of fine-grained dark schist or jasper formerly used for testing alloys of gold by observing the color of the mark which they made on it - thus, a standard or criterion by which something is judged or recognized. The cup Jesus drank on the cross was the touchstone! "What shall I say? Father remove this cup from Me? NO! For this is the hour I have come for!') Her calamity strikes in one day - death, sorrow and starvation - her entire dynasty is burnt to ashes in the fire of the passionate judgment of the LORD GOD. ( See Isaiah 47:8-9, "'Now therefore hear this, you lover of pleasures, who sit securely, who say in your heart, "I am, and there is no one besides me; I shall not sit as a widow or know the loss of children:" These two things shall come to you in a moment, in one day; The loss of children and widowhood shall come upon you in full measure, in spite of your many sorceries and the great power of your enchantments. All of her "offspring" are rescued out of her sway.'") And the kings of the earth, the executives of the mindsets of the Beast-systems, her faithful fornicating friends and clients, are weeping and wailing bitterly while the smoke of her burning rises. They stand completely detached from her, embarrassed by their association with her in her [1]exposed, pretentious identity, crying, "Alas! Alas!" The mighty city of Babylon is doomed in one hour!" (Repeat here the note of verse 7; The word torment basanismos is from basanizo, to test metals by the touchstone. Man's religious systems and forms all fail the touchstone test. Only the Ekklesia of GOD, being Christ's body has passed, and this done while on the cross!) Also the money-power emperors of the world who control the global trade-routes, the merchants and economists were wailing and mourning because the judgment on her caused the loss of all their clients - no one buys their cargo anymore! The touchstone currency of GOD has exposed the fake currency system of the world economy! (Rev. 17:15) They wept bitterly in deep lament, "Who would have thought that this great city of unequaled prominence could come to nothing!" In their sense of hopelessness and bafflement they cast dust upon their heads as if to wrap their minds around the ultimate reduction of vibrant life to lifeless dust! Weeping and wailing in shock for the great city which has fallen! "Oh what a shame that the famous icon of prosperity who made every ship owner rich are now [1]left utterly desolate in just one hour!" (The word [1, G2048] eremos, means desolate; Also used of a woman neglected by her husband, from whom the husband withholds himself. The whore-city is now bereft of all her lovers.) A [1]deep sense of relief in the heavens as all the Saints and the Apostles and the Prophets celebrate how GOD caused the whore's judgment of others to be her own judgment. (The word, [1, G2165 from G2095 and G5424] euphraino, to be delighted, (G2095) eu, meaning well plus (G5424) phren - innermost being; literally, has judged your judgment out of her - what she has judged concerning you, has been made mute, of no value.) And a huge Shepherd-Messenger lifted a stone like a massive millstone and cast it into the sea, saying, "so shall Babylon the great city be hurled into the ocean and not a single trace of her existence shall ever be found again!" (Mat. 18:6, 'but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened round his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.')....The blood of the Prophets and the Saints and every one [1]slaughtered in the scapegoat-sacrifice system of the world order were [2]vindicated in her destruction." (The word, [1, G4969] sphazo, is the verb used of the slain Lamb. The word, [2, G2147 heurisko pronounced as] eurisko, to find conclusive evidence by scrutiny, to properly perceive.) (The Mirror, with editing.)

Until our next visit, the LORD willing, when we shall begin a look into the notes on the Supper of God starting with chapter 19 verse 9. Until then may the LORD help and equip us all to remain strong in His strength.
