"The Secrets of GOD," as revealed by John in the Revealtion of Christ, chapter 20's hidden insights, part 1b of 3, with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.

Picking the thought flow backup at the ending thought of the last post.


The Thousand Years:
(The Satnas-system was cast into the Abyss, bound and sealed for a thousand years, then loosed for a very brief time. One might say that this that period of time.)


We are living in "the very brief moment" of a defeated Devil let loose on the planet! Paul called it "a slight, momentarily affliction" compared to the eternal weight of glory!" 2Co 4:14-18 (KJV), "Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you. For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God. For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal."  

 2Corinthians 4:17-18, "We are fully engaged in an exceedingly superior reality; The extent and [1]weight of this glory makes any degree of suffering vanish into insignificance! The suffering is fleeting and ever so slight by comparison to the weight and enduring effect of this glory we participate in for all eternity. (In Hebrew the word, Kabod, means weight (Is. 64:4) - this is also the word for glory - Paul reflects on this weight as the standard measure of everything that defines the glory of GOD! According to 2Cor. 3:18, "humanity is His glory." This glory in the true currency of life. Paul reasoned that by comparison, any size contradiction is dwarfed into insignificance and appears ever so slight when positioned against the enormity of the weight of glory that dwells within us.) We are not keeping any score of what seems so obvious to the senses on the surface; It is fleeting and irrelevant; It is the unseen eternal realm within us which has our full attention and captivation of our gaze!"

Hebrews 2:7-10, "He has made humanity all but equal to Himself; He crowned us with His own glory and dignity, and appointed us to a position of authority over all the works of His hands (Gen. 1:26-27, 2:7, 15, 16-18). (No Shepherd-Messenger can boast that. [Ps. 8:4-6]) GOD's intention was that human life should rule the planet. He subjected everything without exception to his control. Yet, looking at humanity, it does not seem that way at all. But what is apparent, is Jesus (but Now God spoke to us in a son....Heb.1:2 ep' eschaton hemin en uio - the sonship Jesus revealed and redeemed, is the conclusion of time!) Let us then consider Him in such a way, that we may clearly perceive what GOD is saying to humanity in Him. In the death He suffered, He descended for a brief moment below the lowest ranked Shepherd-Messenger, in or and in so doing, to fulfill the grace of GOD and be crowned again (as a man, representing all of humanity, not a limited few, for GOD is no respecter of persons) with glory and highly esteemed honor. He towers in conspicuous prominence far above all things. He Now summons every son of His, through a perfect salvation, to His own glory. The extent of the suffering he bore is the measure of the perfection of this salvation over which he presides." (The Mirror, with editing.)

With our next post, the LORD willing, we shall look again at Revelation 9 and possibly bring this note to a close.
