We are continuing with our quest to learn all that we possibly can about the Lord Jesus Christ and all that He brought about on behalf of humanity, in the humanity of Himself, GOD in the flesh of man, Emmanuel. This done before we looking into the author's notes on Israel.
The Word of GOD and The Testimony of Jesus:
Revelation6:9-11, 1:5-9, 1John5:9-10. "And when He (the Lamb of verse 1) open the fifth seal I (John) saw underneath the altar the souls of those slain in sacrifice because of the word of GOD and their testimony. (Jesus, Addressing the murdered prophets. In Mat. 23:37, 'Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who killed the prophets and stoned those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, the way a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were unwilling.') Their voice was loud and urgent! "How long, our holy and true [1]Husband, will You not judge and balance the scales of justice in the shedding of innocent blood? Are we mere scapegoats in the futile sacrificial system of the rest of the earth-dwellers!?" (The word, [1, G1203 perhaps from G1210 and πόσις posis, husband, master] despotes is from (G1210) deo, binding as in wedlock and posis. (Forming an inseparable union, the eternal link of Gen. 1:26-27, humanity's hidden mystery now exposed with that of Gen. 2:7, 18, 20-25.) The word ekdikea is from ek, meaning source and dikay, two parties finding (in humanities case in the union of the Cross where all humanity was judged and the curse(s) liquidated) likeness in each other - the stem of all righteousness, (G1343 from G1342 dikaios, equitable, by implication innocence) dikaiosune - where dikay reminds of the Greek goddess of Justice typically portrayed holding a scale of balances in her right hand.) Then white robes were given to each and every one of them! Humanity's redeemed innocence is about to be announced! While you briefly rest with your [1]faces turned upwards, and be rejuvenated; Until your prophetic word be [2]fulfilled! And your fellows, co-included in the sufferings of the Christ [even His murders] are about to be revealed as your friends who are themselves co-slain in the Lamb of GOD!" ("And there was given to each one white robes, and it was said to them that they may rest themselves yet a little while, till may be fulfilled also their fellow-servants and their neighbors, who are about to be killed ---even as they; taken from Young's Literal Translation." "One has died for all (John 12:24), therefore all have died!" 2Cor. 5:14. "While you briefly rest with your faces turned upwards" [1, (G373) anapauo, (G303) ana, upwards and (G3973) pauo, rest; Also refreshing, far more then mere rest, rejuvenation, our modern term of rebooting takes place. The English expression "rest up" is close to the idea of the Greek compound anapauo.] This suggests a resting in the awareness of the significance of their lives and death in prophetic context; 'The word of your testimony pointing to My day.' The word, [2, G4137 from G4134 plērēs, complete, from G4130 plēthō, a prolonged form of a primary word πλέω pleō (which appears only as an alternate in certain tenses and in the reduplicated form of πίμπλημι pimplēmi to “fill” (literally or figuratively [imbue, influence, supply]), specifically to fulfill (time)]; pleroo is in the Aorist Passive Subjunctive, suggesting the inevitable fulfillment of that which the prophetic word pointed to. In the slaughtered Lamb's death, GOD dramatically brings closure to every definition of sacrifice - He took humanity's appointment with death and judgment out of the equation and introduced the resurrection life to be our true portion/standard. see 1Peter 1:10-11, "In all of their conversation there was a constant quest to determine who the Messiah would be, and exactly when this will happen. They knew with certainty that it was the Spirit of Christ within them that pointed prophetically to, and gave testimony to the sufferings of the Christ (Messiah) and the subsequent glory." Rev. 7:9)
See 1Corinthians 15, "The first [most significant] revelation of Jesus' resurrection is the fact that His resurrection is humanity's resurrection!" (This being the sum total of this chapter, see Hosea 6:2, "After two days He will revive us; On the third day He will raise us up, that we may live before Him." Paul goes on to reveal in Ephesians 2:5-6 that, while we were dead in our sins and trespasses (consciousnesses, placed there by religions theology and ideology, and by this desecrating the temple of the LORD), GOD co-quickened us and co-raised us and co-seated us in heavenly places! In Colossians 3:1-3, Paul urges us to engage our thoughts with Throne room realities, since we are raised together with Christ.)
Revelation 1:5-9, "May this grace and peace of Jesus Christ overwhelm you! He is the first (captain/general) born from the dead (born from above/born again, this happens the atomic second of acknowledgement of this action within us, as did Peter and Paul, he called it the twinkling of a eye, 1Cor. 15:52.) and embodies the evidence and testimony of everything that GOD believes about us. He heads up the authority in which we reign as kings on this earth. His crown endorses our crown! He always loves us and loosed us once for all from the dominion of sin in the shedding of His Blood!
(We are crowned with the triumph of Jesus' resurrection. see 1Peter 1:3.
Psalm 103:4-5, "He redeems our lives from the Pit and weaves a crown for us out of Agape's loving-kindnesses and tend mercies (Lam. 3:22, Rom. 12:1-2). He satisfies us with good as long as we live so that our youth is renewed like the eagle's.") He fashioned us a kingdom of priests unto GOD and Father. The glory and the ruling authority of the ages belong to Him through all time! The Amen! Behold He come with a [1]large dense multitude; An innumerable throng of people, united as One, like the particles of water in a cloud. (Acts 1:9-11) Every eye will see Him, not merely as observers, but they will perceive Him for who He really is - even those who participated in His murder, when they pierced His hands and feet with His side. Every single tribe of the earth will see Him and weep greatly at the thought of their foolish rejection of Him! This will surely be! (The word, [1, G3507 nephelē, from G3509] nephos means cloud, a large dense multitude, a throng. 1Thessalians 4:16-18, "The Lord will personally step out of the invisible heavenly realm into our immediate visible horizon with an inciting shout, announcing His triumphant reign in the trumpet-like billowing voice of GOD. Even the dead will rise from their sleep, since they too are included in Christ! In the wake of their arising we will all be gathered into a large dense multitude; An innumerable throng of people, united as one, like the particles of water in a cloud, and we will encounter the LORD in the very air (atmosphere) we breath and so shall we continually celebrate our I-am-ness in our union with Him. (This is the moment redemption declares, where Deity and humanity are married. The Bride and the Groom are united!) The fact that we are all deeply connected in the same source of our 'being-ness' causes us to be constantly engaged in this conversation with one another.") The GOD who is LORD over all things says: 'I am the Alpha and the Omega - My I-am-ness defines time - I am past and future. ( The union of Alpha and Omega, in Greek makes the verb aw, I breathe. And in Hebrew the union of the first and last letter in their alphabet, Aleph and Tau make et, which the Rabbis interpreted as the first matter out of which all things were formed, [see Genesis 1:1]. The particle et, is untranslatable into English but, says Rabbi Aben Exra, "it signifies the substance of the thing!" Jesus is the [1] Alpha and Omega in whom we live, and move, and have our being! He is indeed closer to us than the air we breathe! Don't waste a day waiting for another day or imagined way!) I John am your brother and companion in tribulation - in the midst of which we are equally participating in the authority of the kingdom and steadfastness of Jesus Christ - I was on the Isle of Patmos because of the word of GOD and because of the Testimony of Jesus Christ."
1John 5:9-10, "Now if it is reasonable for us to be readily persuaded by the evidence that people may lay out before us, how much more certainty is there in evidence that GOD has so compellingly borne witness to concerning HIS Son! Whosoever shares in the same persuasion concerning the Son of GOD, has GOD's testimony confirmed within themselves!"
1Corinthians 1:6, "You certainly have the testimony of Christ evidenced within you!" (You posses full knowledge and give full expression in you the evidence for the Truth of Christ has found confirmation." NEB) (The Mirror, with editing)
This draws to a close note #2. Until our next visit may the LORD reveal His truth within us all.
