Continuing with Our Eternal link to GOD in Christ as exposed by Him, the I AM. 6.4.1.3 Idenitity

     By way of reminder we are doing a deep dive into what is brought out in Hebrews 13:20-21 which states this: "Now the GOD (Elohiym - Jesus Christ) of Peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you perfect in every good work to do His will, working in you that which is well-pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen." you"

While thinking on this early this morning the LORD dropped this into my awareness, 'I have begotten you.' So needless to say this caused me to ponder this for quite sometime before getting up to start my day. Wondering how that fit into what we have been learning of Him...Them. We now know that what was lost by the actions of Adam was the knowledge of our Oneness of Identity, this brought out in post 6.4f. After all most people know that Jesus is the reference in Psalm 2:7, which relates to this: 'I will declare the decree: the LORD having said to me,You art My Son; This day have I begotten you.'

With that said what He said to me this morning does it remain only with the LORD of Glory and Peace? For we find this in Psalm 148:6 "He has also established them for ever and ever (the word H5703, ‛ad, means, From H5710 [‛âdâh, A primitive root; to advance, that is, pass on or continue ]; properly a (peremptory) terminus, that is, (by implication) duration, in the sense of perpetuity (substantially as a noun, either with or without a preposition): - eternity): He having made a decree which shall not pass." 

     I did some looking into the OT to find the word "begotten" using the Strong's Word Dictionary of the OT and NT, which is H3205, what is meant by begotten or to beget? The Hebrew for H3205 is, yâlad, it's meaning is from; A primitive root; to bear young; causative to beget. Then I looked a bit farther and found this one: H4138, môledeth, from H3205, meaning, nativity (plural birth place); by implication lineage, native country; also offspring, family: - begotten, born, issue, kindred. Then there was another this being H3318, yâtsâ', meaning, A primitive root; to go (causative bring) out. So when we understand our identity and origin and that we have been brought through a great tribulation of the flesh suffered at the hands of men most wicked (they being both the religious and political heads of the day) and that we were in the humanity of our common origin as Christ in Jesus' flesh, blood and bone body, which houses the image and likeness that we all carry within us. Is this making sense?

     How about what is spoken in Acts 13:33-34 "GOD having fulfilled the same to us (Their) children, in that They have raised us in Jesus again; As it is also written in the second Psalm, 'You art My Son, this day have I begotten you.' And as concerning that They raised (Humanity) up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, They said on this wise, 'I will give you the sure mercies of David.'" (This word begotten is G1080, gennaō, means, a variation of G1085, genos, [from G1096, ginomai, A prolonged and middle form of a primary verb; to cause to be (“gen” -erate), that is, (reflexively) to become (come into being), to be raised]; “kin”; to procreate (properly of the Father,); figuratively to regenerate: to be delivered.)

     Does this fit the narrative of Hebrews 13:20-21? Or that of the following Epistles; Paul's, John's in 1, 2 and 3 and Peter's 1 and 2. The NT record points us to this. Also the record of John's visions of Revelation prove this. It is GOD (Elohiym) Who works within us to perfect us to do GOD'S Will, this not of our own efforts as that would be self efforts, works of the flesh and we could glorify ourselves by such! Does this dispel the religious methods of condemnation's working of the flesh, I think so!

Continuing with Our Eternal link to GOD in Christ as exposed by Him, the I AM. 6.4.1.2 Idenitity

     Today, I begin to pull from the past scriptures in an effort to confirm all that GOD promised Humanity by using the Israelite's as a surrogate for the word Humanity. This based on Hebrews 13:20-21 and verses 8-10. This reminds me of Hebrews 6:17-20 and Titus 1:2 which reads: Heb 6:17-20, "Thus GOD, willing more abundantly to show to the heirs of promise the immutability of His counsel, confirmed it by an oath: That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for GOD to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which entered into that within the veil; Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an High Priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec...Titus 1:2, For hope of Eternal Life, which GOD, that cannot lie, promised before the world began."  

With these things standing the test of time I shall now pull from a few key passages of Scripture based in the OT, passages like Jeremiah 31: 31, 33 which reads: Jeremiah 31:31 "'Behold, the days come, says the LORD, that I will make a New Covenant with the house (humanity) of Israel, and with the house of Judah... 33, For this shall be the Covenant that I will make with the house (humanity) of Israel; After those days, says the LORD, I will put My law (of grace, truth and love) in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their GOD, and they shall be My people.'

Then we find this in Ezekiel 36:26-27, "'A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. And I will put My Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in My statutes (of grace, truth and love), and you shall keep My judgments, and do them.'" And for good measure I shall add Numbers 23:19 to the mix which states: "GOD is not a man, that He should lie; neither the son of man, that He should repent: has He not said, and shall He not do it? or has He spoken, and shall He not make it good?"

Now with keeping with our Identity being restored to its former glory I shall add a few of King David's Psalms to this: Psalm 26:1, 3, 11 "Judge me, O LORD; For I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted in the LORD; Therefore I shall not slide....For Your loving kindness are before mine eyes: and I have walked in Your Truth....But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: Redeem me, and be Merciful to me." (Within the context of the last passage we fine two words of interest they are H8537 translated as integrity and H6299 translated as Redeem. H8537, tôm, From H8552 [tâmam, to complete, be clean, be (make) perfect,]; completeness; figuratively prosperity; usually (morally) innocence: - full, integrity, perfect (-ion). Now for H8537, redeem, pâdâh, A primitive root; to sever, that is, ransom; generally to release [from religious oppression, suppression, indoctrination, bondage], preserve: -  X at all, deliver, X by any means, ransom, (that are to be, let be) redeem (-ed), rescue, X surely.)

Now another from Psalm 41:12-13, As for me, You uphold me in mine integrity, and sets me before Your face for ever. Blessed is the LORD God of (humanity of Their Identity) Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen." (In this passage we fine the word face H6440, pânı̂ym, from H6437, pânâh, means to turn to face the subject.)

Enough said that I shall let you stew on these things for a while. No, I wont, lets take another look at Hebrews 13:20-21, as I did not break it down for our learning: Hebrews 13:20-21 "Now the GOD of Peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting Covenant, make you perfect in every good work to do His Will, working in you that which is well-pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ; To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen." (Now you know that I have a few words and phrases that bear our attention and this passage is no different. The first is translated as perfect, it is composed of two words:( G2675 and G5209; G2675, katartizō, to repair, [From G2596, kata, to gather, and a derivative of G739, artios, to complete, from G737,arti, present, an  Adverb from a derivative of G142, airō, to lift, take up, lift away]; to complete thoroughly, that is, repair, prepare and restore.) Now for G5209 humas, translated you, humanity, [an Accusative of G5210, humeis, yourself, our Identity, from an Irregular plural of G4771, su, The personal pronoun of the second person singular; thou:]) Our next word is translated as well-pleasing, G2101, euarestos, fully agreeable, acceptable; [From G2095, eu, Neuter of a primary word εὖς eus (good), done;  and G701, arestos, From G700, areskō, from G142 (through the idea of exciting emotion); to be agreeable; agreeable; by implication fit:]. Our third word is translated as sight, G1799, enōpion, Neuter of a compound of G1722, en, a fixed position, and a derivation of G3700, optomai, to gaze (that is, with wide open eyes, as at something remarkable); in the face of (literally or figuratively): - before, in the presence (sight) of.)  Then we have the last phrase of "to Whom be glory for ever and ever." This has the great escape within the context our calling out of plant earth In these words G3739, G1391, G1519, G165, G165.

Continuing with Our Eternal link to GOD in Christ as exposed by Him, the I AM. 6.4.1.1 Idenitity

     We are still on Hebrews 13:20-21 which states this in the KJV:  "Now the GOD of Peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you perfect in every good work to do His Will, working in you that which is well-pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen."

     Now I would like to back up within this chapter to verses 7 through 10 where we find this in the KJV: Hebrews 13:7 -10 of 7 - 16 "Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken to you the word of GOD: Whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation. Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; Not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein. For we have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle."

     Now to see what the "Mirror Study Bible" has to say about this passage of: Hebrews 13:7-10 "Be mindful of those who guide you in the revelation of GOD'S word; Follow their faith, consider the conclusion of their lives. (Do not follow a counterfeit! This would be someone who fakes faith while actually living the law.) Take your lead from Jesus. He is our reference to the most complete life. In  Him yesterday is confirmed today and today mirrors tomorrow. What GOD spoke to us in Christ is as relevant now as it was in the prophetic past and will always be in the eternal future! ( Jesus is same yesterday, today, and forever; There is a history to our salvation that carries more authority and relevance than anything that ever happened in our past, or anything present in time or still to happen in the future. Imagine the enormity of eternity in His sameness before time was; And we were there in Him all along! Romans 8:34 What further ground can there possibly be to condemn humanity? In His death He faced our Judgment; in His Resurrection He declared our restored innocence (Identity and integrity as we will soon see); The implications cannot be undone! He now occupies the highest seat of authority as the executive of our redemption in the Throne room of GOD. (Rom. 8:1, also 4:25) The heavens declare His Glory, night to night exhibits the giant solar testimony that is mathematically precise, revealing that GOD knew before time was the exact moment He would enter our history as a man, and the exact moment the Messiah would expire on the Cross and be raised from the dead!) Do not be swayed by distracting speculations. Any influence foreign to what grace communicates, even if it seems very entertaining and carries the Christian label, is to be shunned. Feast on grace; Do not dilute your diet with legalism. There is no nourishment left in the Mosaic Law. What's the use of being busy but not blessed? ( Legalism includes any form of self-sacrifice or self effort with the illusion of gaining further favor from GOD or improving your spiritual standing before GOD.) For us there is only one alter and one sacrifice; We can never again confuse Him with the rituals of the old redundant systems. It seems that some would like to eat the meat of their own sacrifices and at the same time indulge in the benefits of Grace. This is not possible. ( It is like trying to go opposite directions at the same time.)

With all that is herein stated I will in our next post draw from some of the old testament scriptures that prove our Identity / integrity being renewed by redemption's work. From Ezekiel, Psalms and Jeremiah, to name but a few.

                                                Humanity's Identity

With this post I will draw from a combination of two passages of Scripture as I did back when all was new in our start up. To start these will be in part or  in whole as dictated by the wording of the overall thought.

Hebrews 10:1-2 and then Colossians 2:16-19,these being in the KJV, so here goes:

"For the law, having a shadow of the good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with these same sacrifices, which they offered continually year by year, make those who approach perfect; For then would they not have ceased to be offered? Because that the worshipers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins. ......Therefore let no one judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a festival or a new moon or sabbaths, which are only a shadow of things to come, for the substance is Christ. Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshiping of angels, intruding into those things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, and not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increases with the increase of GOD."

Now for the Mirror Study Bible's rendition of these same passages without the accompanying interpretations, expect where it enhances the passage: "For the law presented to us a faint shadow, outlining the promise of the blessings anticipated in the coming of Christ, even detailing its future significance. The mere sketch however, could never be confused with the actual object that it represented. The annual sacrificial rites as shadow of the eventual object would always leave the worshiper feeling inadequate and be a reminder year after year of the sinfulness of humanity....Do not let anyone therefore bring a restriction to your freedom by reviving religious rules and regulations pertaining to eating and drinking; All Jewish festivals, new moons, and Sabbaths have come to an end in Christ! (As there relevance only served to remind of the promise of Christ on an annual, monthly, and weekly basis. They carried the promise like a placenta would hold the unborn child, but obsolete as soon as the child was born.) These things were only prophetic shadows; Christ is the substance. A religious mentality of voluntary humility and obsession with pious observances of angles will bring you no further reward. So do not let anyone who tries to act as an umpire of your devotion insist on his own opinion, confined to a mind inflated by the sensational and spooky; His so called visions are just a puff of hot air. [(In his judgment he fails to correctly interpret the legal implications of the Cross.) "Don't tolerate people who try to run your life, ordering you to bow and scrape, [in order to improve your standing before and in GOD] insisting that you join their obsession with angles and that you seek out visions. They're a lot of hot air, that's all they are.'] Such religious jargon is completely out of rhythm with the head. We are directly connected to Christ Who like a choir conductor draws out the music in everyone like a tapestry of art that intertwines in harmony to reveal the full stature of divine inspiration. (Which is Christ in you, The word, G2023, epichoregeo, translated as, having nourishment ministered, is choir director. [2Peter 1:11] Thus, the great Conductor of music will draw your life into the full volume of the harmony of the ages.)

Within the context of many of my comments and thoughts postings on FB I have expressed much of this already. Isn't interesting how GOD perfects His will within us.

                                                   Humanity's Identity Restored

   Today's blog will deal with a word that is not within the context of Scripture, it being given to me in the wee hours of this morning while my mind was at ease and in perfect peace. This word is "identity," the Merriam - Websters has this as a definition, taken from #3, a and b: a: sameness of essential or generic character in different instances; and, b: sameness in all that constitutes the objective reality of a thing: ONENESS.! 

The word history and etymology reflects this: middle French identite, from Late Latin identitat,- identitas, probably from Latin identidem repeatedly, contraction of idem et idem, literally, meaning, same and same. This dictionary also listed many examples, such as: //The identity of the criminal is not known. //They produced their passports as proof of their identities. //As children grow, they establish their own identities. //People who seem to lack individual identity.

     Now I would like to say that when two (male and female, the pattern given) take on marriage, the female often takes on the identity of the husband by taking on his surname, example: Maynard or Cook. This in effect is a covenant between the two, where GOD is the unseen partner in both of them. This is also part of a hidden meaning in Elohiym as we have already discovered. (Then there's the science of conception where the females body does not share the blood of mom's body with the fetus within her womb, only the males blood is known to exist here, by design. Which is a key to what flows.) This was covered in our study of Genesis 1:26-28, where I failed to include Seth, the third son of Adam in Genesis 5:3. Where we find, this son of Adam was in his image, while Cain and Abel were not listed [?] why not? Then we find a host of warnings against the use of "images," most dealing with false deities. This brought to our attention by Paul in Romans 1:23 where he shares: "changed the glory of the uncorruptible GOD into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things." Paul then picks things up in Romans 8:29, which for the blind has caused many a problem because they know not their origin....ie. their"identity." I this know through experience with others of the clergy, better trained and qualified. Even after reading many times the book of John why? Because with its ready they have also mixed religious doctrines of the OT, which we are warned not to do because of the veil once rent, no, make that twice rent.Because the Jews repaired the first and it was again rent from top to bottom by GOD. Signifying the death of the Old Law of Moses... and the covenant contained within it. (Romans 1:28, 8:7-8, Col. 1:21; Is. 44:18-20, 46:5-8; Acts 26:17-18, Acts 26:17-18, 2Cor. 4:4, Jude 1:11, now here's the hard one in the KJV: 2Cor. 3:5-15, 16 "Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; For our sufficiency is of GOD; Who also has made us able ministers of the New Testament; Not of the letter, but of the Spirit: for the letter kills, but the Spirit give life. For if the ministration of death, written and engraved in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not steadfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; Which glory was to be done away: how shall not the ministration of the Spirit be rather glorious? For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more does the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory. For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excels. For if that which was done away was glorious, much more that which remains is more glorious. Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech: and not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not steadfastly look to the end of that which was abolished: for their minds were blinded: for until this day there remains the same vail untaken away in the reading of the Old Testament; Which vail was done away in Christ. For even to this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart. 

Nevertheless when we shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.")

     I shall for the sake of argument show this in the KJV beginning at Romans 8 with verses 28 through 30: "For we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose. For whom He did foreknow, He also did predestinated (designed) to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom He did predestinate (pre-designed), them He also called: and whom He called, them He also justified: and whom He justified, them He also glorifies." (Now let it be known that the word predestinated is G4309 and because it shows up twice within the same thought it is important for our learning. [G4309, proorizō, is from G4253,[pro, a primary preposition; “fore”, that is, in front of, prior (figuratively superior) to.] and G3724, [horizō, is from G3725, horion; of a derivative of an apparently primary word ὅρος horos (a bound or limit); to mark out or boundary (“horizon”), that is, (figuratively) to appoint, decree, specify: - declare, determine, limit, ordain to.]; to limit in advance, that is, (figuratively) predetermine: - determine before, ordain, predestinate.)

Okay, now I will turn to the Mirror Study Bible to catch it's rendition of the same passages of Romans 8:28-30: "Meanwhile we know that the love of GOD causes everything to mutually contribute to our advantage. His Master Plan is announced in our original identity. (Calling according to His purpose, G2822, kale, means to surname, to identify by name.) He pre-designed and engineered us from the start to be jointly fashioned in the same mold and image of His Son according to the exact blueprint of His thought (as seen in Genesis 1:26-28). We see the original and intended pattern of our lives preserved in His Son. He is the firstborn from the same womb that reveals our genesis. He confirms that we are the invention of GOD. ( We were born anew when He was raised from the dead! [1Peter 1:3] His resurrection co-reveals our common genesis as well as our redeemed innocence. [Rom. 4:25 also Acts 17:31] No wonder then that He is not ashamed to call us His brethren and friends! We share the same origin [Heb. 2:11], and, "In Him we live and move and have our being, we are indeed His offspring!" [Acts 17:28].) Jesus revealed that we pre - existed in GOD; He defined us. He justifies us and also glorifies us. He redeemed our innocence and restored the glory that Adam lost. ( As in Romans 3:23-24, G629, prooritso, pre - defined, like when an architect draws up a detailed plan; kaleo, to surname, identify by name.)

What is to come, I don't know at this point therefore I leave that up to GOD most faithful. You do know that when I say GOD I mean Elohiym the true "trinity," even though denied to be such by our Jewish friends.

                                               Humanity's Identity Restored

    After spending some time on Hebrews 13:20-22, I began to realized that it contained a hidden message of our origin and the restoring of the image and likeness of Elohiym within us by His doing. Listen to how it is stated in the KJV: "Now the GOD of Peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you perfect in every good work to do His will, working in you that which is well-pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ; To Whom be glory for ever and ever. I beseech you, brethren, suffer the word of exhortation: for I have written this letter to you in few words. Amen" 

Then I checked the Mirror Study Bible to see what I might fine there it states much the same thing. Here's how it reflects this: "This is my prayer for you: that the GOD Who made Peace with the human race through the blood of the eternal Testament, Who raised Jesus from the dead as the supreme Shepherd of the sheep, will thoroughly equip you in the most distinguished way possible, to give expression to His design in you according to His delight realized in Jesus Christ, Who is the blueprint of the ages. Jesus is the accurate expression of the invisible GOD. GOD'S glory. Our lives confirm and echo this, I have written to you briefly, reminding you of your original identity in order to increase the volume of its resonance within your hearts. Amen! (The word, [2, G430, translated as suffer, is from G303 and G2192] anechomai, means to hold oneself up against, from ana, often means by repetition in order to increase intensity, and echo, to hold, embrace or echo, resonate. The word, [G3870, translated beseech, is from G3844 and G2564] parakaleo, from para, originating from a sphere of influence, and kaleo, to call by name, to surname [Hebrews 12:23])

Now Jesus restored [redeemed] to humanity it's proper design and image by the way of the Cross with the accompanying resurrection of Redemption's success, this falling on the eighth day. Remember the Jews had to have Him buried before sunset of the coming holiday, on what we call Saturday the seventh day of creation's rest. Putting His body in the ground of Friday which equates to the sixth day. Having defeated all positioning forces in His humanity. This confirmed successful by the Resurrection on the part of humanity's true identity being re-birthed from above in our joint resurrection. This made possible because the first sight of this was added to the narrative of Genesis 1 in verse 26 through 28. While humanity's construction took place during the day of perfection....the eighth day. Remember the geniality translated as generations of verses 4 and 5 when Elohiym survived all things spoken into being in Genesis 1, after the seventh day rest of Gen. 2:1-3.

                                                Humanity's Identity Restored

   When I ended our last visit I said that there would be more to be revealed well here is part of it. It being found in verse 17 where the Mirror Study Bible revealed this "GOD'S strategic plan" this like the "fisa warrant," works both ways the Mirror did not show Matthew 27:51-54 which is: "Behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; And the earth did quake, and the rocks were rent; And the graves were opened; And many bodies of the Saints (Hosea 6:1-3 is put into effect) which slept arose, and came out of the graves after Jesus' resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared to many. Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus' grave site, were witnesses, and saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, "Truly this was the Son of God." 

This falls right in line with Colossians 2:15 to which I will add verse 16 after the teaching of 15, and 3:9-10 in this statement; In Jesus' dying humanity's death, Jesus defused every possible claim of accusation against the human race and thus made a public spectacle of every rule and authority in GOD'S brilliant triumph, demonstrated in Jesus. Then the Mirror went into the language of the words used and pointed us to Colossians 3:9 but omitted verses 10 and 11 which says this in the KJV: "Having put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of Them that created us: where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is All, and in All."

     Now for the Mirror Study Bible's rendition of Colossians 2:15: "In His dying humanity's death., Jesus defused every possible claim of accusation against the human race and thus made a public spectacle (this being left out Mat. 27:51-54) of every rule and authority in GOD'S brilliant triumph, demonstrated in Jesus. The voice of the Cross will never be silenced! (The horror of the Cross is now the eternal trophy of GOD'S triumph over sin (the loss conscientiousness of who we are, our origin, our true design and identity restored)! The cross stripped religion of its authority to manipulate humanity with guilt. Every accusation lost its leverage to blackmail the human race with condemnation and shame! The word, apekduomai, is translated from apo, away from,  and ekduo, to be stripped of clothing; To disarm; [The religious facade that disguised the Mosaic Law of self works as a means of defining a person's life, when it is the very Life of Christ within us that defuses the defeated sin, as seen in Hebrews 13:20-21]. The same word is used in Col. 3:9. The dominance of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil [poneros, hard work and heavy labor, a struggle to free one's self from the sin of religion; The meaning of Gen. 3:15's (H6119, from H6117)heel, of the sup-planter, lier] The word deikmatizo, means to exhibit in public. The word, arche, means to rule and exousia, authority. The word, parresia, comes from pas, all and rheo, outspokenness, pouring forth speech.

Jesus Christ stripped all the spiritual tyrants in the universe of their sham authority at the Cross and marched them naked through the streets of Jerusalem, Mat. 27:51-54.

1Corinthians 15:24 is a description of the finished work of Christ, The complete conclusion in His work of redemption is celebrated in Jesus' yielding the full harvest of His reign to GOD the Father, having brought to naught the Mosaic Law of works which supported every definition of dominion under the fall (the lost identity of humanity's internal union with the invisible GOD), including all principalities, all authority and every dynamic influence in society. [Jesus brought to naught the law of works, katargeo, from kata, meaning intensity and argos, meaning labor; Thus freeing us all from all self effort to attempt to improve upon what GOD has already accomplished and perfected (in Genesis 2:4-5; 6-7) in Christ. All principalities, arche, or chief in rank above the other on the basis of their performance or preference. All authority, exousia, comes from ek, denoting origin and eimi, 'I AM'; In this case, because of what I can do I am defined by what I can do better than you; Therefore, I have authority over you. Every dynamic influence in society, dunamis, means power, in this case willpower. Every Governmental structure in society will be brought under the dominion of Grace where the Christ-life rules.]

In 1Corinthians 2:7-8, "We voice words of wisdom that were hidden in silence for timeless ages; A mystery unfolding GOD'S Masterful plan whereby They would redeem Their glory in humanity. Neither the politicians nor the theologians of the day had a clue about this mystery [of humanity's association in Christ]; If they did, they would never have crucified the LORD whose death redeemed our origin and glory!)

     Now for the renewed mind of Christ centering around our origin and design, again using the KJV no the mystery is best explained than that in the Mirror Study Bible, for Colossians 3:8-13 on to 15, we find this: "For now, because you realize that you were co-crucified and died and were co-raised together within Christ, you can flush your thoughts with Truth! Permanently put these things behind you: things such as violent outbursts of rage, depression, all manner of wickedness, slander and every form of irregular conversation. (The lifelong association with sin's chains were broken; The dominion of the character of GOD is revealed again in our origin of ordinary life. The word, G988, blasphemos, means any attempt to belittle someone else and to cause someone to receive a bad reputation. To assume the position of the accuser.) That old life was a lie, foreign to our design! Those garments of disguise are now thoroughly deleted from our understanding of our union with Christ in our co-death in Him and His death and resurrection. We are no longer obligated to live under the false identity and rule of the robes we wore before, neither are we cheating anyone through false pretensions. (The garments an actor wears define his part in the play but cannot define him. They like the flesh is only an exterior covering, superficial covering of the supernatural within our natural.) We stand fully identified in the new creation renewed in the knowledge according to the pattern of the exact image and likeness of our Creator resident within our being.[We are not made "in" Their image but rather actually have Their image and likeness within us, making us Christ-ones, like the analogy used of the clothing.] The revelation of Christ in us gives identity to the individual beyond anything anyone could ever be as a Greek or a Jew, American or African, foreigner of famous, male or female, king or pawn. From now on everyone is defined by Christ; Everyone is represented in Christ. (In seeing Christ not just as recorded in history but rather as being revealed in us, we discover the face of our birth as in a mirror! James. 1:18, Of Their own will begat They us with the word of Truth, that we should be a kind of first-fruits of Their creatures.) We are the product of GOD'S Love, Life and Light; They restored our thoughts to Their original thought. We belong to Them exclusively [always have]. It is like changing garments. Now that we have gotten rid of the old, clothe ourselves with inner compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience, (Just like we were once identified by our apparel, the characteristics of these qualities define us now.) upholding one another in positive expectation. If anyone finds fault with another, restore that person to grace, remembering how the LORD'S forgiveness has transformed our lives. Wear Love like a uniform; This is what completes the picture of our oneness. Appoint the Peace of Christ as umpires in our hearts. We are all identified in the same person; There is only One Body. We are born to be a blessing and exhibitors of Their benevolence."

With this I shall close, if the LORD wills. For They have just One Way into the Kingdom Life within us all. May the LORD increase our capacity to learn of Them to then do Their perfect Will. Amen!

                                                      Humanity's Identity Redeemed

     So far with the aid of Hebrews 13:20-21 we have found out that it is Elohiym Who works within us to perfect us to the standard of the first Adam as seen in Genesis 2 by or through the renewal of our mind from a fallen mindset to a redeemed / restored mind of heavenly conscientiousness. This in agreement with what we have discovered in Revelation 17 and related passages that verify these things. So again Hebrews 13 verses 20 and 21 in the KJV.

 Hebrews 13:20-21 "Now the GOD of Peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you perfect in every good work to do Their will, working in you that which is well-pleasing in Their sight, through Jesus Christ; To Whom be glory for ever and ever. The great Amen."

     Now for a slight change up I will draw from the Mirror Study Bible this same passage to see what else we may learn with a renewed mind.

The Mirror: "This is my prayer for you: that the GOD Who made peace with the human race through the blood of the eternal Testament, Who having raised Jesus from the dead as the supreme Shepherd of the sheep, will thoroughly equip you in the most distinguished way possible, to give expression to Their design in you according to Their delight realized in Jesus Christ, Who is the blueprint of the ages. Jesus is the accurate expression of GOD'S glory. Our lives confirm and echo the Amen!" 

And now for the conclusion of our Revelation investigation which ends in Revelation 18 verse 3 as we will soon see. First the KJV and then the Mirror Study Bible's rendition:

Revelation 17:15-18:3 "The Angelic messenger, said to me, "The waters (Ps. 18:4, 65:7, 93:3-4, Isa. 8:7-8, Jer. 51:13, 42, 55) which you saw, where the whore sits, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. And the ten horns which you saw upon the beast, these shall hate (Isa. 13:17-18, Jer. 50:41-42)  the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked (Eze. 16:37-44, 23:45-49), and shall eat (Job 31:31, Ps. 27:2, Dan. 7:5) her flesh, and burn (Lev. 21:9) her with fire. For GOD has put (Acts 4:27-28) in their hearts to fulfill (Luke 22:3, 22, 37, John 13:2, 18) Their will, and to agree, and give their kingdom to the beast, until the words (promises) of GOD shall be (Pro. 19:21, Isa. 45:17, 46:10-11, Jer. 27:6-7, Eze. 38:16-17, Dan. 12:7, John 10:35, 12:39-40, 19:24, 28) fulfilled. And the woman (Dan. 2:40-41, 7:23, Luke 2:1) which you saw is that great city, which reigns over the kings of the earth." And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; And the earth was lightened with his glory. And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, "Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies."

Now for the renewed mind's observations of the same, as found in the Mirror Study Bible picking up the flow at verse 15 and on through 8:3: "The same Messenger who addressed me earlier to come and see the judgment of that notorious prostitute - the one who sat enthroned upon the many trade routes of the waters (like the king of Babylon known as Lucfier spoken of by Isaiah in chapter 14:4-23 and Ezekiel in chapter 28;13-17, Jer. 50:23, 51:20-24; Luke 10:18, 2Peter 1:19, 2:4; Rev. 12:7-10), both the rivers and seas - proceeded to explain to me that the waters I saw represent the entire spectrum of people - groupings and tribal identities with their unique language - specific dialect preferences. (These are the very masses of humanity that were redeemed by the blood of the Lamb as referenced earlier in the book, every sphere of society were there - laoi kai acholoi eisin kai ethne kai glossai - Rev. 10:11, "And he said me, "Necessity is laid upon you to now disclose with new insight the prophetic word again - this prophecy's time has come and is now relevant and you will declare it before many peoples and different nations and their kings in their specific mother tongue language." - This list of people occurs seven times in Revelation with a like grouping of words for all humanity, of all races and nations; - Rev. 5:9, 7:9, 10:11, 11:9, 14:6 and here in 17:15.

Ezekiel 43:2, "And behold, the glory of the GOD of Israel came from the east; And the sound of Their coming was like the sound of many waters; And the earth shone with Their glory." Matthew 24:31, "And They will send out Their Shepherd - Messengers with a loud trumpet call, and They will gather (G1588, from G1586)Their blueprint likeness from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other." The word, G1586, eklegomai, traditionally associated with the idea of election, has two components, G1537, ek, a preposition that indicates source or origin and legomai, from G3004, lego, to speak, meaning to communicate ideas; - the Lamb is the logos, G3056, the language and conversation of GOD; Humanity is Their audience thus, the original blueprint - word, the logos; in John 1:1-3, 12, Mat. 22:14, The many are called, [kaleo] but few are "chosen" eklegomai, thus, The masses are defined by Their name while few yet realize their own origin in (Them) Me!") In realizing their defeat by the Lamb, the ten horns which you saw on the Beast will turn against the prostitute with furious hatred and will strip her of all her decorations, expose her nakedness, consume her flesh and burn her body. (Again, John sees a counterfeit drama to the slaying of the Lamb of GOD; Here, the figurehead of the religious corrupt systems, the great whore, is sacrificed and her flesh is eaten by her previous colleagues, clients and supporters. This reminds me of Jesus' conversation about our eating of His flesh and drinking His blood as our remembrance in the Last Supper and this done on a daily bases.) This happened according to GOD'S strategic plan as They gave them a mind to be united against the woman and to give their kingdom to the Beast until Their word would be fulfilled. (Col. 2:15, In Jesus' dying humanity's death, He 1 defused every possible claim of accusation against the human race and thus made a public 2 spectacle of every 3 rule and authority in GOD'S brilliant triumph, demonstrated in Him. The 4 voice of the Cross will never be silenced! (The horror of the Cross is now the eternal trophy of GOD'S triumph over sin! The cross stripped religion of its authority to manipulate humanity with guilt and shame. Every accusation lost its leverage and legality to blackmail the human race with condemnation and shame!) The word, [1, G544, from G575 and G1562] apekduomai, is translated from G575, apo, away from, and G1562, ekduo, to be stripped of clothing; To disarm; The religious facade that disguised the law of works as a means of defining a person's life, was openly defeated. The same word used in Col. 3:9. The dominance of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil [poneros, hard work and labor] was ended. The word, [2, G1165] deikmatizo, means to exhibit in public. The word translated as principalities [3, G746] arche, rule and word translated as powers [G1849] exousia, means authority. The word, [4, G3954] parresia, comes from (G3956) pas, all and (G4483) rheo, outspokenness, pouring forth speech.

"Jesus stripped all the spiritual tyrants in the universe of their sham authority at the Cross and marched them naked through the streets." Mat. 27:51-54.

The woman you saw is the great city which dominated the kings of the earth." (The Prostitute city - society of Babylon stands in contrast to the Bride of Christ as the New Jerusalem.

Just like Babylon is not a city in the symbolic language of Revelation, it is a "fallen," distorted - mindset - society of Babylonian standards based on failures; so the New Jerusalem is not a city but the redeemed society of humanity! The Bride of Christ!)

With this I saw another Shepherd - Messenger descending out of the heavenly sphere with blazing light beaming out of him. The light lit up the earth with the brightness of his glorious presence. He announced in a thunderous voice, "The great Babylon is utterly crushed - it has become a ghost town of demons, haunted by every unclean spirit, held in it like in a cage for eerie, spooky birds. The masses of humanity became intoxicated with the wine of her passion and adulteries while their kings flirted with her and the traveling traders of the world made their wealth with the powerful lure of her attractions."

In our next visit we shall, the LORD willing, break down some of the aspects of the intoxication mentioned here. And how these come into play in our day and time.

                                               Humanity's Identity Redeemed

     This is our third look into the mystery woman of Revelation 17 and her evil, vial ways as spoken of in the OT and NT is language that is not clearly understood by those of the earthy or worldly ways. To open this study I will again draw from Hebrews 13 verses 20 and 21 which reveal this: 

Hebrews 13:20-21, "Now the GOD of Peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you perfect in every good work to do Their Will, working in you that which is well-pleasing in Their sight, through Jesus Christ; To Whom be glory for ever and ever. The great Amen."

Now this is where we find that the GOD of Peace, Who makes us obedient through the Blood of Christ Jesus, in the New Covenant and then as if that was not enough, They then equip us to do Their Will. We will soon learn that this is not what the mystery woman or the church of this world proclaim nor do those associated with her achieve by any means, in fact, it is the direct opposite. While I am here I want to look at the term: GOD in the NT Greek, Strong's shows this as G2316, theos, of uncertain affinity; A deity, especially (with G3588, ho  hē  to, The masculine, feminine (second) and neuter (third) forms, in all their inflections; The definite article; The (sometimes to be supplied, at others omitted, in English idiom): - the, this, that, one, he, she, it, etc.) the supreme Divinity (in the Hebrew H430, 'ĕlôhı̂ym, from H433, 'ĕlôahh, to show a strong reverence for Them, I capitalize all references to Them, for it is Their image and likeness that we all bear within us, as we have already studied, to me theos is not good enough as it lacks depth of meaning, like the word Grace which means far more then some kind of favor); figuratively a magistrate; by Hebraism very: - X exceeding, GOD, God, god [-ly, -ward].

Now for our targeted area of interest: Revelation 17:8-15, "The beast (The Roman empire was the beast, or idolatrous persecuting power, when under the Pagan emperors; It ceased to be so when it became Christian; And became so again under the Roman pontiffs, and shall "go into perdition." Rev. 14:8-20; Dan. 7:11, 26, 11:45; 2Thes. 2:3-8) that you saw was, and is not; And shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names (Acts 15:18, Rev. 13:8, 20:12, 15) were not written in the Book of Life (Mat. 25:34, John 17:24, Acts 15:18, Eph. 1:4, Tit. 1:2, 1Pet. 1:20) from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. And here is the mind which has wisdom (Rev.13:18, Dan. 12:4, 8-10, Hos. 14:9, Mat. 13:11, 24:15). The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sits. There are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; And when he comes, he (this could be the installed Joe Biden as he fit the scenario quite well) must continue a short space. And the beast (this could fit the bill for George Soros, Bill Gates, and many others in governments, society and business as they themselves have spoken) that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goes into perdition. And the ten horns (Rev. 12:3, 13:1; Dan. 2:40-43, 7:7-8, 20, 24, Zec. 1:18-21) which you saw are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; But receive power as kings for one hour with the beast. These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength to the beast. These shall make war (Rev. 11:7, 8:6-7, 16:14, Dan. 7:21, 25, 11:9-12, 24-25,) with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome (Rev. 19:15-21, Mat. 25:40, Acts 9:4-5, Ps. 2:8-9, 21:8-12, 110:5) them: for he is LORD of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with Them are called (Ps. 149:5-9, Jer. 1:19, Mic. 5:7-9; John 15:16, Rom. 8:30, 37, Heb. 3:1-2, 2Tim. 2:4, 1Pet. 2:9), and chosen, and faithful. And he saith to me, "The waters (Ps. 18:4, 65:7, 93:3-4, Isa. 8:7-8, Jer. 51:13, 55) which you saw, where the whore sits, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues (this also fits today's scenario quite well, as both the D.C. Swap and the Demonic State Mafia and neoNazi's Syndicates are at work around the World to bring down America and destroy it's Constitution with it's amendments with the Electoral College.)." So the names used above is not a slanderous move on my part as these figures themselves have revealed both who and what they are, the earthy and worldly of scripture, as we will soon see.

Now for the Mirror Study Bible's rendition of this passage, of Revelation 17 and verses 8 through 15 and it's references: "The brutal Beast you saw is a 1"has been" from the beginning - it indeed has no real existence - yet it seems to make "a come back" as if emerging out of the Abyss only to dissolve again into perdition. Meanwhile the minds of those blinded by their 2 earthbound perceptions continue to be mesmerized by its apparent relevance. They are the ones whose identities are not 3 based upon the Lamb's Book of Life. They do not yet see that their original identity was redeemed in the Lamb." (The words, [1, this being a series of words G2258, ēn, translates as was, G2532, kai, translated as and, G3756, ou, translated as not, and G2076, esti, translated as is] meaning, to be and not to be; With the verb en being the Imperfect Indicative of eimi, I am - another meaning of the imperfect indicative is to refer to unreal (counterfactual) situations in present or past time.

This is in total contrast to the One Who is 'I AM;' Who always was and will continually be the accompanying One. An antithesis to "ho en kai ho on" of Rev. 1:1, 4 "The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which GOD gave to John, to show to Their followers and servants things which must shortly come to pass......John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be to you, and peace, from Them which Ish, and which was, and which is to come; And from the seven Spirits which are before Their throne; From Jesus Christ, Who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto Them that love us, and washed us from our sins in Their own blood, and having made us kings and priests to GOD and Our Father; To Them be glory and dominion for ever and ever. The great Amen."

The earthbound ones. The word [2, G2730] katoikeo is from G2596 kata, meaning down, to dwell and G3611, oikeō, to house permanently, to set up home - thus, to reside, be earthbound. Remember how Paul invites us to engage our thoughts with the resurrection realities (Rom. 12:1-2) and to see ourselves seated together with Christ in heavenly places! (Eph. 2:5-6, Col. 3:1-3) Since we are raised together in Christ, engage your thoughts with "Throne-room realities" [the things that are above - relevant to our co-seatedness] and not with things below - "soul-room realities"] As in Rev. 16:16, where Armageddon pictures the battle between the lower earthbound thought patterns and the thoughts of GOD. Revelation 13:8, The "earthbound" perception is in essence an identity crisis - knowing oneself and one another merely "according to the flesh" as Paul says in 2Cor. 5:16.

Note, the preposition, [3, G1909] epi, upon, as in continual influence upon! An "earthbound-identity" is based upon the Fallen mindset, produced by the fruit of the wrong Tree - "the I-am-not Tree!" And not [3] upon the Lamb's Book of Life!

The word often translated foundation, (G2598, kataballo), is from G2596, kata and G906, ballo, combined mean; to throw down, or "to fall away, to put in a lower place," instead of (G2310) themelios, meaning "foundation" [Eph. 2:20, also Rev. 21:14, 19]; Thus, it translates as "the fall of the world," instead of "the foundation of the world." The entire "Fall" was a falling away from our true identity as the image and likeness barriers of Elohiym. Just like Eve, we were all deceived to believe a lie about ourselves, which is the fruit of the "I-am-not-tree." We all, like sheep have gone astray. [Isa. 53:6]

Here is understanding for the inquiring mind: the seven heads, or mindsets, upon which the woman was seated represent seven mountains, or typical social structures, found within the city context. (Many cities besides Rome can boast of their seven hills: also Constantinople, Brussels, and especially Jerusalem. These social structure could typically include the essential building blocks of society, ...i.e. Family, Education, Religion, Business, Economics, Governments, Art / Entertainment and the many other Media's, all being employed, in-powered to provide fallen, strong delusional (2Thes. 2:11, G1753, G4106), mindsets.) These seven social rulers represent five fallen structures, another current (at the time of writing, [today we are witnessing the rise of Pharmaceuticus from the Greek pharmakeutikos, to administer drugs in Rev. 18:23, G5331, translated as sorceries]) and another, which is still to come for a very brief spell. (The influence of all these typical social spheres under the control of this Harlot, are equally defeated in the Lamb's Victory.

The mindset that the Trinity of Beast operate in is like a virus hosted by political leaders and their followers - infiltrating all areas of society with its predictable symptoms of slander, censorship, suppression of truth and facts, lies and double talk, saying one thing while meaning another (the same senior of the serpent used in the garden with woman, Gen. 3). There are interesting historical parallels - Of the first seven kings, five having come at the time of the writing - Julis Ceasar, Augustus, Tiberius, Gaius, and Claudius - one was currently in power [Nero, the number values of his name calculated is 666, the fifth Roman emperor and the final emperor of the Julio - Claudian dynasty, died 68 AD] and one had not yet come [Galba], but would only remain a little time [six months]. And the "has been" - Beast is the eighth (the rider on the horse - which is the woman in this symbolic scene); She is part and parcel of the seven and dissolves into perdition. The ten horns you saw are ten kings who have not yet received rule until they come to power with the Scarlet Beast for a brief hour to fight against the Lamb. (The "ten horns" on the seven - headed monster suggests that the horns are closely related and connected to the same head or mindset of the same animal. [Rev. 12:9, 18:23, The great Dragon, the ancient ophis [serpent] also known as the Devil or Satan, together with all his Herding - Heralds. Also in Rev. 13:11, Then I saw another wild animal; This one emerged out of the earth (those who renounce their union in the LORD, they remain the earthy, worldly ones those left behind) - it had two horns and resembled a young lamb; Yet it had a Dragon's voice. (The counterfeit "trinity" emerges - the one mirroring the other - the Dragon Accuser, the seven - headed sea - monster of religion with its leading role players, the head that was slain but became alive again and now the Dragon clothed in a lamb's - disguise) Rev. 13:12, Even though it had the appearance of the lamb, it operated under the same authority as the previous Beast - under the watchful eye of the Dragon! [Counterfeit - Christianity as a religion is a wolf in sheep's clothing!] It's the same old Dragon in a lamb's disguise! It's mission was to engage the 1 earthbound dwellers to worship the counterfeit - the slaughtered animal that was restored to life out of its death, it only having the bruised head.) These rulers were in full agreement to hand over their authority to the Beast. (At the trial and crucifixion of Jesus, former enemies became allies as they banded together against the Lamb, see Luke 23:12, That day Herod and Pilate became friends---before this they had been enemies. Ps. 83:5, With one mind they plot together; They form an alliance against You.) These joined forces in that hour to wage war against the Lamb but the Lamb defeated them since HE is the LORD of lords and the King of kings. And sharing with Him in His victory are His 1 kindred, the ones who recognize their 2 origin in this conversation; They are now of the same 3 persuasion. The Lamb led them into freedom from their lost identity, and their doubts. (The word [1, G2822, translated as called, G1588, translated as chosen] kletoi, is from kaleo, to surname; kai [2] eklektoi from ek source and legomai from lego, to speak - the Lamb is the logos, the conversation of GOD, humanity is Their audience; kai [3] pistoi, the persuaded ones. Humanity is the joint sharer in the Lamb's triumph and glory! They are the kindred of the Lamb, having their origin in the word that was from the beginning face to face with Elohiym [John 1:1, 14] and the recipients of GOD'S faith. There are numeral references to the same "once and for all war" in the heavens! It is however the same hour: The same event! Rev, 12:7, 16:13-14, 19:19 and 20:8.)

We shall pick this back up with verse 15 in our next visit the LORD willing. So should some one emerge with a name like Nero's that person would carry to same meaning as being of the 666, earthy and worldly????

                                             Humanity's Identity Redeemed

Here we are with another on the subject of the woman of Revelation 17 and our discovery of who and what she represents today as the world seems to be in chaos and upside down to say the least. Again lets see what the writer of Hebrews has to say, this being taken from chapter 13 and verses 20 and 21, KJV:

"Now the GOD of peace, that brought again from the dead our LORD Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you perfect in every good work to do Their Will, working in you that which is well-pleasing in Their sight, through Jesus Christ; To Whom be glory for ever and ever. The great Amen."

Now there is one word used within the context of this passage that has been a stumbling block for those of the religious mindset, which we shall find is a by produce of the woman of Revelation 17 as are the political conditions of our day, with many other distortions of fact and truth. The word here is "perfect," with that said what does the Strong's word study say about it: 

"Make you perfectG2675 G5209 inG1722 everyG3956 goodG18 workG2041 to doG4160 hisG848 will,G2307" As you can now see there are two references shown, G2675, katartizō, this composed of two words, From G2596 and a derivative of G739; To complete thoroughly, that is, repair (literally or figuratively) or adjust: - fit, frame, mend, (make) perfect (-ly join together), prepare, restore (to that of Genesis chapter 2 status, innocent). And then G5209, humas, Accusative of G5210; you (as the object of a verb or preposition): - ye, you, (+ -ward), your (+ own). So when someone says that they are not the righteousness of GOD, we can tell that they are just that. For they are just mimicking what they've been brainwashed, indoctrinated with over many years of religious exposure. They do not even know their own design or origin, the being one within Elohiym.

Now for the first of three parts of Revelation 17, the first is 1 through 7 and remember that these passages all have many hidden references to the OT accounts: Rev 17:1-7 "There came one of the seven angels who had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying to me, "Come; I will show you the judgment of the great whore that sits upon many waters (Jeremiah 51:13, Rev. 17:15): with whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication (Rev. 14:8, 18:3, 9, 23; Jer. 51:7). So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: where I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet colored beast, full of names of blasphemy (Rev. 13:1-6, Dan. 7:8, 20, 25, 11:36; 2Thes. 2:4) having seven heads and ten horns. And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet color, and decked (Dan. 11:38) with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup (Jer. 51:7; 2Thes. 2:3-10) in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication (Deu. 29:17, 1Ki. 14:24, 2Ki. 21:2, Isa. 66:3: Ezr. 9:11, Lam. 1:9, Eze. 24:11, 13, 36:25) And upon her forehead (Rev. 7:3, Isa. 3:9; Php. 3:19) was a name written, MYSTERY (2Thes. 2:7, 2Tim. 3:1-5), BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER (Rev. 18:9, 19:2) OF HARLOTS (fornication's) AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the Saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. And the angel said to me, "Wherefore do you marvel? I will tell you the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and ten horns."

Now for the Mirror Study Bibles rendition of this: 

And came one of seven Messengers with the seven golden temple vessels approaching me and called to me to come and see the judgment of that notorious prostitute who sat enthroned upon the many trade routes of the waters - both the rivers and seas. ( Same language repeated in Rev. 21:9 "And one of the seven Shepherd - Messengers, having the seven vessels being filled with the seven last wounds, came to me and spoke with me, saying, "Come, I will show you the bride, the Lamb's wife!" The Prostitute Society of Babylon [the "Old Jerusalem" is set up against the Bride - society - the New Jerusalem.) She engages the kings of the earth with her harlotry, intoxicating the earth dwellers with the wine of her passion and fornication's. The Messenger then carried me to a desert place [in total contrast to the hustle and bustle of the busy trade routes of the oceans and the rivers] I was transported there in spirit and saw a woman seated upon a [1]scarlet colored Beast; With [2]blasphemous, insulting names written all over them like a label revealing the content of their [3]cargo. The Beast had seven heads and ten horns. (For reference to the same Beast, Rev. 13:1-10 and its second Partner in verse 11, 12, the Lamb with Dragon's voice, later called the False Prophet and here, the Harlot. Together in their alliance with the Dragon they from the Counterfeit Trinity. see also Rev. 17:12

The word [1, G2847] kokkinos, refers to the crimson or scarlet color which was produced from the berry of the "ilex coccifera;" these "berries" are the clusters of eggs of a female insect, the "kermes" [resembling the cochineal] and when collected and pulverized produces a red which was used in dyeing scarlet cloth. The color is so steadfast that it was one of the most difficult dyes to remove from clothing. So when Isaiah compares sins leaving its stubborn stain upon our consciences, he is saying in Is. 1:18, "Come now, let us reason together, says the LORD: 'though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool.'"

Again the [2]blasphemy and insults against the Name is emphasized. (Have you ever wondered why the name Jesus or another influential name in history or modern times, is the name that is most commonly used as a swear word? When in Ephesians 3:15 it states this: "Every family in heaven and on earth originates in Him (Elohiym); Theirs is humanity's family name and They remain the authentic identity of every nation." Also while in Ephesians look with me at 1:21, GOD (Elohiym) has given Jesus a Name that is beyond comparison above any other name in the heavenly realm or upon the earth for all time and eternity! The salvation that he works is the greatest source of frustration and embarrassment to the religious systems of this world. What the Name of Jesus represents puts religion out of business!

Now the imagery of Daniel 7:3 and Rev. 17:8 are the "wild Beast from the sea," as in Dan. 7:17 and 23.

Rev. 15:7, These golden fire - pans were loaded with the entire meaning of the sacrifice! Filled, (G1073) gemo, to be full, from [3] gomos, load, cargo.)

The woman was draped in purple and scarlet fabric, festooned and sprinkled with golden glitter and ornaments. She was elaborately decorated with gold, precious stones and pearls, holding a golden [1] cup in her hand which was brimming with defiling obscenities and the stench of her impurities. ( Again the surface, make - belief beauty and apparent splendor cannot hide her true filthy character - like the white washed tombs Jesus compared the religious systems to. "Hypocrites! For you are so careful to clean the outside of the [1, G4221] cup [poterion] and the dish, but inside you are filthy - full of greed and self - in- interest's, or indulgences! You are like beautifully decorated tombs on the outside, desperately trying to hide the stench of decaying corpses within'"(Mat. 23:25- 27) [2, G946] dbelugma derivative of dbeo - to stink, smell to high heaven.

The Harlot represents the counterfeit [1, G4221] cup poterion of covenant to the cup of the LORD.

Corinthians 10:16, "The cup [(G4221) poterion] of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?

1Corinthians 10:21, "You cannot drink the cup [poterion] when He had supped, saying, 'This cup [poterion] is the new testament in My blood: this do, as often as you drink in remembrance of Me.'"

1Corinthians 11:25, "After the same manner also the cup, [poterion] when He had supped, saying, 'This cup [poterion] is the new testament in My blood: this do, as often as you drink in remembrance of Me.'"

The covenant cup of the LORD communicates the redeemed life of our origin and design incarnate in our person and our total fellowship and celebrated in our every meal!)

The word written upon her forehead expose her mystery identity: 'Babylon the Great, the Mother of the Whores and the filth of the Earthy!' (Roman harlots wore a label with their names on their brows.) The woman I saw was intoxicated with the blood of the [1] Saints and the blood of [2] those who bear the testimony of Jesus. This left me mesmerized, pondering what I saw, desiring to understand the context of it all. ( The cup she drank represented her opposition to everything that the blood of Jesus communicates. She was intoxicated with the thought that accused, sinful humanity could be reckoned blameless Saints by the blood of the Lamb. Rev. 7:9, 13-14, also Rev. 12:11, Mikael and his Shepherd - Messengers [representing the entire Host of Heaven - including all the multitudes previously mentioned in revelation] conquered the Dragon because of the blood of the little Lamb and the word of their testimony!

Also Rev. 16:19, "And the great city split into three portions and the cities of the nations fell and Babylon the great was remembered in the cup of GOD'S [1] great passion and [2] desire to bring everything to conclusion." (The word [1, translated Saints, G2372, from G2380] thumos, passion and [2, translated as, those who bear the testimony of Jesus, G3709 from G3713] oregomai, to stretch one's self out in order to touch or to grasp something, to reach after with intense desire.) The Shepherd - Messenger said to me, "Why were you so perplexed? I will explain to you the mystery of the woman and the Beast carrying her; Also the meaning of his seven heads and ten horns."

Now with the last passage I will leave it with you until our next posting. And remember that I saved this because there are million upon millions who have been indoctrinated with that no one can understand Revelation, and second that they are to be subservient to the religious system of some church.

Continuing with Our Eternal link to GOD in Christ as exposed by Him, the I AM. 6.4

                                            Humanity's Identity Redeemed

      I thought that I would begin the unveiling of the woman of Revelation 17 by now but the LORD has another thing for me to do first. I shared this on FB this morning: This is for those who have chosen to deny posts dealing with the exposing of the Demonized Systems of the DS Criminal Mafia Syndicate headed in America by the D.C. Swamp namely those of the rhinos and the demonized party known as the Democrats. Who are pushing for the same system of the SS of Hitlers, used to point and accusing finger at the innocent under his tyrannical, delusional world power grab of post war and WWII. These powers are using the FBI / CIA / CB / Wall street, military, industry, pharma and the WF / IMF and other branches as their tools of warfare against America.

      Now before I begin I must make it clear that I have hid nothing from my aim to bring a clear understanding of all things Christ, and our being calling out from among them, this took place in the spring of 1986; As the answer to the question posed to me on September the 14th of 2007 and They began to bring me up to speed in Their revelation, of the question in Matthew 11:29; Is that which is hidden in the name Elohiym, as is the name of Elohiym hidden within all of humanity. This the message of Jesus as He the Christ lived this out in His daily life before the disciples. Revelation is a pictorial message that does not always follow an arranged order of visions like the book (of many chapters, books) written by Enoch and the other book of Jasher written by many as the title indicates.

I then used Hebrews 13:20-21 which states this in the KJV: "Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our LORD Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you perfect in every good work to do Their will, working in you that which is well pleasing in Their sight, through Jesus Christ; To Whom be glory for ever and ever. The great Amen."

     Then I brought this is: Remember this Jesus was the message of that which had been lost and forgotten with the action of Adam in Genesis 3, which brought about the woman of Revelation 17, as a behind the scenes distortion handled by the liar and manipulator by manipulation of all that is called, "evil."

While the children of Light, Love and Life proclaim the revelation of Christ within all of humanity by declaring the name of "Elohiym" Christ from Whom all human life springs still. 

     Now for the beginning of the reveal of the woman that dates back before time and seen in the woman, mother, of the leader of Babylon, this spoken of in Kings and elsewhere. My first visit is from Revelation 18 where we find this in verse 4 through 8: "I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, My people, that you be not partakers of her sins, and that you receive not of her plagues (those spoken earlier within scriptures, like: Mark 3:10, Luke 7:21; Rev. 11:6, 9:20, 15:1, 6,8, 16:9, 18:4). For her sins have reached to heaven, and GOD having remembered her iniquities. Reward her even as she rewards you, and double to her double according to her works: in the cup which she has filled fill to her double. How much she having glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she said in her heart, "I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow." Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; And she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the LORD God Who judged her."

Now for a look at the Mirror Study Bible to get what it's author reveals:

I heard another voice saying out of the heavens, "Come on out of the grasp of her deception!" You are My People; You have nothing in common with her distortions and need not participate in her plagues. Her perverted twistedness of GOD'S image in you has piled up and polluted every square inch of earth and sky. GOD cannot tolerate the presence of the unrighteousness she represents. (First Aorist (prophetic) active indicative of, G3421, mnemoneuo, remember or tolerate, here with the accusative (G92, adikemata, unrighteousness) instead of the genitive - thus, not her unrighteousness, but the unrighteousness that she represents.) The Lamp's suffering dealt a double blow to the whore and Beast - systems! The counterfeit (fiat systems) cup she has mixes turned on her and proves to her defeat. (Give back to her as also she gives to you, and double to her double, according to her own works. In the cup which she mixes, mix to her double. (LITV)

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

This reminds of what the Prophet Isaiah saw, as recorded in Isaiah 40:2, "Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and cry to 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 sufferings 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 proven 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 from G928 and on otheres down to] torment basanismos is from 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 is this touchstone! 'What shall I say? Father remove this cup from Me? NO! For this hour I have come!' recorded by Luke in 22:42) Her calamities strike 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. (Looking at Isaiah 47:8-9, Now therefore hear this, you lovers of pleasures, who sit securely, who say in your hearts, "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 sorceresses and the great power of your enchantments. all of her "offspring" are rescued out of her sway.)

In our next installment (4.a) we shall begin our in-depth look of Revelation 17, as it effects all this of the World and America is being forced endure with much pain with today.

Continuing with Our Eternal link to GOD in Christ as exposed by Him, the I AM. 6.3

     Drawing from that which is revealed by John in chapter 1 and verse 18 and 9-13 and 2Cor. 3:1-6, 7-11 and 12-18 of the last post that dealt with the veil of confusion and blindness of the woman of Revelation 17 and her wickedness. Now for the rest of 2Corinthians 3 picking it up at verse 12 and then chapter 4 verses 3- 4 and 5-7 in the KJV and then the Mirror.

The KJV: 2Corinthians 3:12-18 "Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech: and not as Moses, who put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not steadfastly look to the end of that which is abolished (G2673, katargeō, abolish, destroyed): For their minds were blinded: for until this day remains the same vail not taken away in the reading of the old testament; Which vail is done away in Christ. For even to this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart. Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away. Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty (G1657, eleutheria, freedom ). For we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from Glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord."

Now 2Corinthians 4:3-4 (KJV) "For if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, Who is the image of GOD, should shine in them."

Now the Mirror: If our message seems vague to anyone, it is not because we are withholding something from certain people! It is just because some are so stubborn in their efforts to uphold an outdated system that they don't see it! They are all equally found in Christ but they prefer to remain lost in the cul-de-sac language of the OT law!  The survival and self-improvement programs of the 1 religious systems of this world veil the minds of the unbelievers: Exploiting their ignorance about their true origin and their redeemed innocence. The veil of unbelief obstructs a person's view and keeps them from seeing what the light of the Gospel so clearly reveals: the 2 glory of GOD is the image and likeness of our Maker redeemed in human form; This is what the Gospel of Christ is all about. ( The god of (Revelation 17) of this [1, G165] aion, age, refers to the religious systems and governing structures of this world. The unbelief that neutralizes Israel in her wilderness life is the lie that they believe about themselves; "We are grasshoppers, and the 'enemy' is a giant beyond any proportion!" [Num. 13:33, Josh 2:11, Heb. 4:6] "They failed to possess the promise due them to unbelief." The blueprint (2, G1391) doxa, glory of GOD, is what Adam lost on behalf of humanity's portion.) [see Eph. 4:18]

Now for the second portion of in the KJV,  2Corinthians 4:5-7: "For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the LORD; And ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake. For God, Who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, has shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the Glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 

For we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of GOD, and not of us." 

Now for the Mirror: Even though we recommend ourselves with great confidence, it is not with arrogance; We do not preach ourselves! We preach (proclaim) Christ Jesus the LORD; We are addicted to the Gospel; Employed by Jesus for your benefit. The light source is found in the same GOD Who said, 'Light, be!' (Gen. 1:3) And light shone out of darkness! They lit the lamp in our understanding so that we may clearly recognize the features of Their likeness in the face of Jesus Christ reflected within us. (The same GOD [Elohiym] Who bade light shine out of darkness has kindled a light in our hearts, whose shinning is to make known Their Glory as They revealed it in the features of Jesus Christ.)

Now, in the glow of this glorious light and with unveiled faces we discover this treasure where it was hidden all along, in these frail skin - suits made of 1 clay. We did not invent ourselves; We are GOD'S idea to begin with and the dynamic of Their doing and amazing engineering! (The word translated earthen vessels or clay jar is the word [1, G3749] ostrakinos from ostrakon, "oyster"! It is a great visual picture of how we carry a very valuable pearl within us. The cosmetic value of the clay pot can never compete with the treasure it holds. There is so much more to us than what meets the eye! "The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in an agricultural field, which a man found and covered up; Then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys the entire field." [Mat. 13:44] In order to redeem our minds from the lies that we believed about us, GOD invested all that They had in the redeeming of our original value! (see 1Peter 1:18-19) They rescued the life of our design. Our inner life hosts this treasure. Jesus said in John 17:37, 38, 'If you believe that I am what the Scriptures are all about, you will know that you are what I am all about and rivers of living waters will gush out of your innermost being!')

From here on I shall be in Revelation 17 for we have all with unveiled eyes now heard the Truth of the Gospel.

Continuing with Our Eternal link to GOD in Christ as exposed by Him, the I AM. 6.2

     We are now establishing what we found in our last post of John 1:18 and then 1:9-13 as it ties to the woman of Revelation17 and how it is that all of today is tied to her as the vial image of the counterfeit god, fiat god of man's religion, political and financial systems try to over through the knowledge and legacy of Elohiym within humanity. Which I have labeled as the DC Swamp and Deep State Criminal Mafia Syndicate of this worlds flesh / earthly order. For this I will first draw our attention to 2Corinthians 3 as it draws upon the comparison of the Mosaic Law and Grace in the person of the Holy Spirit resident within humanity but suppressed long ago, in Genesis 3. Remember lambano (G2983) as it plays a key part of this message. First the KJV and then my target of verses 12-17.

The KJV: 2Co 3:1-6, 7-11, 12-18 "Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some others, epistles of commendation to you, or letters of commendation from you? We are our own epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men: forasmuch as we are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living GOD (Elohiym); Not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart (Ezekiel 36:26-27). And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward: not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; For our sufficiency is of GOD; Who has made us able ministers of the New Testament (Covenant); Not of the letter, but of the Spirit: for the (Mosaic) letter kills, but the Spirit gives us, Love, Light, and Life, that is Grace. 

For if the ministration of death, written and engraved in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not steadfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; Which glory was to be done away: how shall not the ministration of the Spirit be rather (more) glorious? For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more is the ministration of Righteousness exceed in Glory. For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excels. For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remains is glorious. 

Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech: and not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel (representing Humanity) could not steadfastly look to the end of that which is abolished (G2637, katargeō): for their minds were blinded (because of that which had been lost by Adam the knowledge of his, our origin): for until this day remains the same vail not taken away in the reading of the Old Testament; Which vail is done away (Mat. 27:51, Mark 15:38, Luke 23:45) in Christ. For even to this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart. Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away. Now the LORD is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. For we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the LORD, are changed into the same image from Glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the LORD."

     Okay, now let's take a look at the Mirror Study Bible, where to begin is in debate as there is allot of ground and very good learning of Jesus within the context of this chapter, as we have seen in our previous blogs. 

2Corinthians 3:4-6, 7-11, "Christ is proof of our persuasion about you 1before GOD. ( The Greek preposition [1, G4314, translated as to ] pros, means towards, face to face, also 2Cor. 1:18, 19, and 20.) We have not 1 reached this conclusion by any merit of our own! Of GOD'S doing are we made competent! (the word, [1, G3049, translated as think ] logitsomai, means to reckon; making a calculation to which there can only be one logical conclusion.)

Because of its prophetic purpose even the old administration of death, carved in stone evidenced a glimpse of glory; For a brief moment the face of Moses shone with such brilliance that the people of Israel could not even look at his face. The fact that the glory reflected in Moses was brief and fading confirmed that the ministry of the letter had a "sell by" date and that it was destined 1 to be brought to naught. (It served merely to emphasize the failure of the flesh to access the glory that Adam (Gen. 3) had lost on behalf of humanity. The word, (1, G2673, translated as be done away ) katargeo, derives from [G2596 ] kata, meaning intensity, and [G691] argos, meaning labor, denotes that the law of works would be rendered entirely useless; thus, the new arrangement would free us from all self efforts to attempt to improve upon what GOD has already perfected in Christ. Consider the contrast in verse 18; from a mere glimpse of a veiled and fading glory to unveiled gazing into the face of glory as in a mirror and a transformation of life radiating the same glory.) How much more radiant would the ministry of the Spirit be. If the ministry of condemnation had a glimpse of glory, the glory that the ministry of righteousness now communicates is beyond comparison! (There are two administrations: the one confirms humanity's guilt because of Adam; The other confirms humanity's innocence because of Christ! The one was upheld by the letter of the law; The other is sustained by the Life of the Spirit. Humanity's standing before Elohiym is restored; Righteousness by the merit of the Cross far outweighs any attempt of the flesh to complete! Nothing that anyone can do can improve their standing before GOD!) What seemed glorious and important at the time has been reduced to total obscurity and irrelevance. The fragile and fading glory of the flesh is dwarfed into insignificance by the unfading glory of the Spirit! ( The ministry of the New Testament reveals oneness and permanence. In Christ the idea of distance and delay is cancelled.)

Now I shall stop just here for this can become quite lengthy as we continue.with the next seven verses. Now if the LORD tells me to carry on then I shall, lets wait on Him. Now understand that this is not about me, it is all about our learning of HIM! The I AM that I AM. Mat 11:29.

Continuing with Our Eternal link to GOD in Christ as exposed by Him, the I AM. 6.1

     We are in the process of building the case against the false church of Revelation 17 by bring to light the Truth of Christ within all of humanity. To do this I will again return to John chapter 1 where John revealed the incarnate one. Why John? The answer is short, he was the most Spiritual in his gospel message, not relying on what other witnesses had to say but the Spirit within. Again using the KJV and KJV+, with the new Mirror Study Bible as the renewed mind revealed. Meaning that we are to be incarnate ones as Jesus was and remains having redeemed us. Being at verse 9 through 13, where we looked at verse 18 in our last adventure.

John 1:9-13 "That was the true Light, which lights every man that comes into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not. He came to His own, and His own received Him not. But as many as receive Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of GOD, even to them that believe on His name: which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of GOD."

John 1:9-13 "That wasG2258 theG3588 trueG228 Light,G5457 whichG3739 lightsG5461 everyG3956 manG444 that comesG2064 intoG1519 theG3588 world.G2889 He wasG2258 inG1722 theG3588 world,G2889 andG2532 theG3588 worldG2889 was madeG1096 byG1223 Him,G846 andG2532 theG3588 worldG2889 knewG1097 HimG846 not.G3756 He cameG2064 toG1519 His own,G2398 andG2532 His ownG2398 receivedG3880 HimG846 not.G3756 ButG1161 as many asG3745 receiveG2983 Him,G846 to themG846 gaveG1325 He powerG1849 to becomeG1096 the sonsG5043 of GOD,G2316 even to them that believeG4100 onG1519 HisG846 name:G3686 WhichG3739 were born,G1080 notG3756 ofG1537 blood,G129 norG3761 ofG1537 the willG2307 of the flesh,G4561 norG3761 ofG1537 the willG2307 of man,G435 butG235 ofG1537 GOD.G2316   

Now please bear with me as I endeavor to match words of the Greek with the Strong's numbering system, now for the Mirror:

John 1:9-13 A new day for humanity has come. The authentic light of life that illuminates everyone was about to dawn in the World! (This day would begin our calendar and record the fact that human history would forever be divided into before (BC) and after Christ (AD). The incarnation would make the image of Elohiym visible in human form. In Him who is the blueprint of our lives there is more than enough light to displace the darkness in every human life. He is the true light that enlightens everyone! [Col. 1:15, 2:9, 10; 2Cor. 4:6]) Although no one took any notice of Him, He was no stranger to the world; He always was there and is Himself the author of all things. It was not as though He arrived on a foreign planet; He came to His own, yet His own did not 1recognize Him. (The Jews should have been the first to recognize Him! Revelation 19:12, also Psalm 24:1, "The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell in it." The word, [1, G3880] paralambano, is a compound world: From G3844 [para, A primary preposition; properly near, that is, (with genitive case) from beside (literally or figuratively), (with dative case) at (or in) the vicinity of (objectively or subjectively), (with accusative case) to the proximity with (local [especially beyond or opposed to] or causal [on account of]). In compounds it retains the same variety of application: - above, against, among, at, before, by, contrary to, X friend, from, + give [such things as they], + that [she] had, X his, in, more than, nigh unto, (out) of, past, save, side . . . by, in the sight of, than, [there-] fore, with. In compounds it retains the same variety of application.] and G2983 [lambanō, A prolonged form of a primary verb, which is used only as an alternate in certain tenses; to take (in very many applications, literally and figuratively [probably objective or active, to get hold of; whereas G1209 is rather subjective or passive, to have offered to one; while G138 is more violent, to seize or remove]): - accept, + be amazed, assay, attain, bring, X when I call, catch, come on (X unto), + forget, have, hold, obtain, receive (X after), take (away, up).]; to receive near, that is, associate with oneself (in any familiar or intimate act or relation); by analogy to assume an office; figuratively to learn: - receive, take (unto, with. So we find para, indicating closeness of sphere of influence, with the suggestion of union of place of residence, to have sprung from its author and giver, originating from, denoting the point from which an action originates, intimate connection; and lambano, to comprehend, grasp, to identify with). Everyone who 1realizes their association in Him, 6convinced that He is their 2original life and that 7His name defines them, GOD 5gives the assurance that they are indeed His offspring, 2begotten of Him; He 3sanctions the legitimacy of their sonship. (The word often translated, to receive, [1, G2983] lambano, means to take in hand, to comprehend, to grasp, to identify with. This word suggests that even though He came to His own, there are those who do not [1]identify with their true [2]origin revealed in Him, and like the many Pharisees they behave like children of a foreign father, the father of lies (because of the woman of Rev. 17); [John 8:44]. Neither GOD'S legitimate fatherhood of humanity nor His ownership is in question; Humanity's indifference to their true [2]origin is the problem. This is what the Gospel addresses with utmost clarity in the person of Jesus Christ. Jesus has come to introduce humanity to themselves again; Humanity has forgotten what manner of person they are by design! [James 1:24; Deuteronomy 32:18, Psalm 22:27]

The word, [2, genesthai, is from G1096] ginomai, (A prolonged and middle form of a primary verb; to cause to be (“gen” -erate), that is, (reflexively) to become (come into being), used with great latitude (literally, figuratively, intensively, etc.): - arise be assembled, be (come, -fall, -have self), be brought (to pass), (be) come (to pass), continue, be divided, be done, draw, be ended, fall, be finished, follow, be found, be fulfilled, + God forbid, grow, happen, have, be kept, be made, be married, be ordained to be, partake, pass, be performed, be published, require, seem, be showed, X soon as it was, sound, be taken, be turned, use, wax, will, would, be wrought.) means to generate; to become; John employs this verb in the Aorist Infinitive tense, which indicates prior completion of an action of relationship to a point in time. Greek infinitives could have either a present or Aorist form. The contrast between the tow forms has more to do with aspect than with time. The present Infinitive is used to express progressive or imperfective aspect. It pictures the action expressed by the verb as being in progress. The Aorist Infinitive however does not express progressive aspect. It presents the action expressed by the verb as a completed unit with a beginning and and. This is an important point since many translations of this verse suggest that GOD'S ability to make us His sons can only be in response to something we must first do in order to trigger GOD into action! Our grasping [lambano] is simply the awakening to the fact that our genesis is already completed in the Logos. [see John 1:3] The Logos is the source; Everything commences in Him. He remains the exclusive Parent reference to our genesis. There is nothing original, except the Word. We are His offspring. [Acts 17:28] "He has come to give us understanding to know Him Who is true and to realize that we are in Him Who is True." [1John 5:20]

The word, [3, G1849] exousia, (From G1832 [exesti, Third person singular present indicative of a compound of G1537 [ ek ] and G1510 [ eimi ]; so also ἐξόν exon; neuter present participle of the same, impersonally it is right (through the figurative idea of being out in public)] (in the sense of ability); privilege, that is, (subjectively) force, capacity, competency, freedom, or (objectively) mastery (concretely magistrate, superhuman, potentate, token of control), delegated influence: - authority, jurisdiction, liberty, power, right, strength.) Picking back up with [3] exousia, often translated, power; as in, he gave "power" to [2]become children of GOD, is a compound word. from ek, always denotes origin or source and eimi, I AM; thus, out of I AM! This gives [3, G1325] legitimacy and authority to our sonship; [4, G5043] teknon, translated as offspring, child.

"He has given," [5, G1325] didomi, in case to give something to someone that already belongs to them; thus, to return to. The fact that they already are His own, born from above and that they have their [2] beginning and their being in Him is now confirmed in their realizing it! Convinced, [6, G4100] pisteo; [7, G846] autos, or onoma, is humanity's family name. [Eph. 3:15] These are the ones who discover their genesis in GOD (Elohiym of Genesis 1:26-28), beyond their natural conception! This is not about our blood lineage or whether we were a wanted - or unwanted - child; This is about our GOD - begottenness. We are His dream come true and not the invention of our parents. You are indeed the greatest idea that GOD has ever had! (Jeremiah 1:5, 29:11 and John 3:2-7)

Now why do I like the Mirror Study Bible? IT confirmed for me all that I had heard from deep within me for some time before I received it as a gift. In our next visit we shall look at Revelation 17 and begin to bring all of this together as the Spirit of the LORD leads.
