We are about to embark on another picture story of the Revelation of Christ's battles with fallen humanity's fantasies about Him and His kingdom as seen through the eyes of John, the man that Jesus loved. This one comes from the long time imagined lake of fire.
The Lake of Fire and The Second Death:
By whom and when the imagery of this Lake of Fire was first introduced, is suggestive of judgment, where by every possible trace of both the source [the counterfeit Trinity system], as well as the effect in the recipients [their distorted perceptions and religious mindsets], are forever consumed. This may well have been the thought pattern of the ancient world as there were recently found in the deserts of Egypt, some three miles from the Nile River, where among other things are 14 full sizes ocean going ships, each coated with a layer of protective clay, were discover buried by the sands.
Every single person who ever dies in ignorance, indifference or unbelief, is immediately confronted with and mirrored, in the once and for all death and resurrection of Jesus - this is pictured here by the Lake of burning Sulphur, cleansing and purifying like in a furnace; Separating the gold from the dross (wheat from the tares) of a corrupted mindset, belief systems, found in the masses of humanity.
For those who awaken to their redeemed innocence in this life there is no judgment in the Second death. Revelation 2:11, Now listen up with your inner ears! hear with understanding what the Spirit is saying to the Ekklesis - [those who like Simon Peter, with Saul of Tarsus, discover their true identity in Me] it is he that triumphs [in their fearless embrace of My resurrection life] will know that there is no judgment in the second death. [Remember the One talking is the One "who became dead and was restored to life," and said, 'Behold in death I will personally crown you with life! In My death, I redefine your death'] Look at Hebrews 9:25-28. As representative of the human race, Jesus Christ fulfilled humanity's destiny with death and judgment! [1Cor. 15:3-5, Rom. 4:25, Acts 17:30-31] FACT: Jesus did not come to condemn the world. The Father judges no one for He has handed all judgment over to the Son, Who judged this world in righteousness when he took their judgment in His own body.
John 12:31-33, " 'Now is the judgment of this world; This is the moment where the rulers of this world-systems are conclusively cast out! When I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw all unto Me (Myself)!' (The subject of this sentence, as from the previous verse, is the judgment of the world - thus, the primary thought here is that in His death, Jesus would draw all judgment upon Himself and thereby forever redeem humanity's innocence!) This he said to point to the way in which he would die."
I will leave these thoughts with you to ponder and deeply consider. Until our next visit the LORD willing when we shall pick up the flow at Revelation 20's verse 14. Now may our LORD and Redeemer work within each of us His work to His glory renewed within us.

"The Secrets of GOD," as revealed by John in the Revealtion of Christ, chapter 19's hidden insights, part 3h of 4, with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.
Helping GOD remove the scales of deception from the eyes and ears with the delusion of a false mindset, of this world's ill informed of humanity, is what this blog site is all about. There must be someone to help lift the curtain of the deception and falsehood that has been propagated by religion since before the departure of Paul and Peter or the coming of Christ, because it has been here since the days of the first Adam. As witnessed in Gen. 3. As John's picture letter of Revelation reveals. Looking into the Great Supper of chapter 19, in the book of Christ's Revelation.
The Winepress of the "Wrath" of GOD and the Great Supper:
Revelation 6:15-17, "And the kingdoms of the earth and their great and most influential people in high standing in society, also the highest ranked military commanders, along with the wealthiest business personalities, the high and mighty, everyone from the lowest ranked slave to the freeborn were suddenly on equal terms and facing the same predicament. They all ran for cover into the dems and caves, pleading with the mountains and the hills to cover and protect them! "Hide us from the face of the One seated upon the Throne and from the [1]reach of the Lamb!" (The word, [1, G3709 from G3713 oregomai] orge, meaning excitement of mind, is from (G3713) oregomai, meaning to stretch one's self out in order to touch or to grasp something. See Hebrews 4:3, Hear the echo of GOD's cry through the ages, "'Oh! If only they would enter into My rest.'" (Some translations read, "As I have sworn in My wrath," this was derived from orge, meaning passionate desire, any strong outburst of emotion. "OH! If only they would enter into My rest.") Just like Adam and Eve who went into hiding to escape their (fallen, mindset's) perception of Papa's discontent.... or judgment of their disobedience!
Psalm 139:7-8, "Where shall I go from Your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from Your face? If I go up to Heaven, You; If I make my bed in (Hell) Sheol, behold, You!"
Hosea 10:8, "Also, the high places of Aven [H1007, house of vanity], the sin of Israel, shall be destroyed. The thorn and the thistle shall come up on their altars. [Their sacrificial system has failed them!] And they shall say to the mountains, "Cover us! And to the hills, Fall on us!") For the great day of His [1]passion [2]has already arrived and who would have imagined that it would be possible for anyone [3]to be positioned in a place of innocence? (The word, [1, G3709] orgay means to desire as reaching forth with excitement of mind, that is, (by analogy) passion and only by implication often translated as punishment: - anger, indignation, vengeance, or wrath. The word, [2, G2064] elthen, is an Aorist active indicative of erchomai, meaning to come. The word, [3] stathenai, is in the Aorist Passive Infinitive of (G2476) histemi, meaning to stand, also to be placed in a balance, to weigh, in the presence of others, in the midst, before judges, before members of the Sanhedrin, to cause a person or a thing to keep his or its place, to be kept intact (of family, a kingdom), to escape in safety, to establish a thing, cause it to stand, to weigh: money to one (because in very early times before the introduction of coinage, the metals used were weighed) continue safe and sound, stand unharmed, of quality, one who does not hesitate, does not waiver.)
John 2:3-4, "When Mary learned that they has run out of wine, she informed Jesus. He responded with, 'Well Ma'am, that's their problem - or do you want Me to steal the show here at somebody else's wedding, when My hour of fulfilling My mission has not yet come?'" (Religion has run out of wine - Jesus lived aware of His mission which was to redeem and restore the joyous celebration of the union and Romance of the ages -marrying humanity and divinity! While He is the true joy and wine of the party, He fully understood what it would cost Him to drink the cup of humanity's injustice and violence on the cross! Look at John 12:27, 'Now is My soul troubled. And what shall I say? 'Father, save Me from this hour? NO, for this hour's purpose, I have come, to this hour.'")
1Corinthians 11:23-26, "The night in which the Lord Jesus was betrayed, He took bread and gave thanks; Breaking the bread into portions, He said, [1]'Realize your association with My death, every time you eat, remember My body that is broken for you!' (The meaning [1] take, grasp, lambamo, to take what is one's own, to associate with one's self. Is to acquire the petros understanding.) He did exactly the same with the cup after supper and said, 'This cup holds the wine of the New Covenant of My blood; You celebrate Me every time you drink with this understanding!' (From Now on our meals are meaningful! We celebrate this fact and truth that the incarnation in us reveals our redemption, our oneness and I am-ness; The promise become a person.
He redeemed our original origin in its valued identity and innocence; He died our death and defines the life we are Now living. He fulfilled the theme of Scripture: the sufferings of the Messiah and the subsequent glory! [1Peter 1:10-11]) Your every meal makes the [1]mandate of His [2]coming relevant and communicates the meaning of the New Covenant. (Whether you eat or drink, you are declaring your joint inclusion in His death and resurrection, confirming your redeemed innocence. Some translations read, "until I come...." The word translated "until" is, [1, G891] is a kin to G188] achri, is from (G188) akmen, which means extremity, conclusion, the present time; Jesus is the conclusion of OT prophetic time! The word, [2, G2064] erchomai, to come is in the Aorist Subjunctive Mood, elthe, which is similar to the Operative expressing a wish (pray). The Mood of the Greek verb expresses the mode in which the idea of the verb is employed. Thus, we are communicating the desire to have all people realize the meaning of the New Covenant. Look at 2Peter 1:19, "For us the appearing of the Messiah is no longer a future promise but a fulfilled reality. Now it is our turn to have more than a second-hand, hear-say testimony. Take my word as one would take a lamp at night; The day is about to dawn for you in your own understanding. When the Morning Star appears, in you, you no longer need the lamp; This will happen shortly on the horizon of your own heart.") (The Mirror, with editing)

"The Secrets of GOD," as revealed by John in the Revealtion of Christ, chapter 19's hidden insights, part 3g of 4, with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.
Our subjects targeted area with this post and the next few is titled "The Great Supper of GOD." It is seen in verse 9 of chapter 19 where we'll pick it up.
The Great Supper of GOD:
Revelation 19:9, 17-18, "And he (the voice that come out of the Throne in verse 5) instructed me to record this in writing: "Oh, the [1]blessedness of the bliss which is the supreme celebration of the union of the ages! You have individually been [2]identified by name and invited to the Lamb's supper concluding in the ultimate wedding feast! This is the Great Finale in the [3]unveiling of GOD's word. (The word, [1, G3107] makarios, is usually translated blessed, it suggests a special intensity of delight, well off. It is another beatitude (makarioi) like that in Rev. 14:13 [the forth of seven books].
The verb [2] kekelemenoi is a Perfect Passive Participle of (G2564) kaleo, to identify by name, to surname. The Passive Participle describes a state that exists at the time coincident with that of the leading verb as a result of an action completed prior to the time of the main verb, [in previous verse] edothe from didomi, was given [v8] which is in the Aorist Passive Indicative. The Perfect Participle endorses the fact that this is a standing invitation! The word, [3, G228] alethinos, truthful, is from (G227) alethes; from the negative particle, (G1) a and (G2990) lauthano, to lie hidden, to be ignorant of, no longer concealing; Thus, that which is unveiled truth.
This is not a wedding where we are invited simply because we're a friend of a friend of the groom or the bride - or a distant second cousin to a relative of a relative on someone's mother's side! No! You're the Bride!!!! [Now back in the late 80's the LORD showed me in a dream/vision a large room, a banquet hall, filled with empty tables with their chairs, except where I alone was seated, an image of a man come out from behind a door, some distance from me carrying a tray full of goodness in the things on top of it, and he brought them to me, setting it before me on the table. For a long time now, I wondered what this meant, well here and with what follows below, and the above statement is my answer.] Mat. 26:26-29, "While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when He had given thanks, He broke it and gave it to His disciples, saying, 'Take and eat; This is My body.' Then He took a cup, and when He had given thanks, He gave it to them, saying, 'Drink from it, all of you. This is My blood of the Covenant, which is poured out for the many for the forgiveness of sins. I tell you, I will not drink from this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it a new with you in My Father's kingdom.'"
Hosea 2:19, "'And I will betroth you to Me for ever; I will betroth you to Me in righteousness (innocence) and in justice, in steadfast Agape, and in mercy (Lam. 3:22, Rom. 12:1-2).'" Isaiah 54:5, "For your Maker is your husband, the LORD of hosts is His name; And the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer, the GOD of the whole earth He is called."
The Prostitute becomes the Bride! Look at Hosea 1:2, "The LORD said to Hosea, 'Go, take to yourself a wife of whoredom and have children of whoredom.'" In Hosea 3:1, "After Gomer had left Hosea and was living in immorality, the LORD commanded Hosea to find her and buy her back!")
Revelation 19:17-18, "Then I saw another Shepherd-herald standing in the luminous light of the sun; With a loud voice he invited all the birds of the sky to flock together for the great supper of GOD. (Another symbolic reference to the Last [Final] Supper - the Lamb's flesh and blood introduces the New Covenant where every judgment is concluded and the Incarnate Word [Logos] is Now our feast - His flesh is our bread (rhema) indeed and becomes our flesh (humanity's covering) His blood is drink indeed and becomes our blood (death is suggested) - celebrated in every meal we have. His broken body pictures the broken body of the human race - "one died for all, therefore, all died!" of 2Corinthians 5:14.) Come feast on the flesh of all humanity! The flesh of kings and the flesh of the high ranking captains, the flesh of the mighty men, the flesh of the horses and their riders; All flesh, slave and free, both the prominent and the least." (This is reflected in Ezekiel 39:17, 20-21, "As for you, son of man, thus says the LORD GOD: 'Speak to the birds of every sort and to all beasts of the field, 'Assemble and come, gather from all sides to the sacrifice feast which I am preparing for you, a great sacrificial feast upon the mountains of Israel, and you shall eat flesh and drink blood....And you shall be filled at My table with horses and riders, with mighty men and all kinds of warriors,' says the LORD GOD. 'And I will set My glory among the Nations; And all the nations shall see My judgment which I have executed, and My hand which I have laid on them.'") (The Mirror, with editing.)
Now I want to take a moment to thank the LORD for the understanding that He has opened up for me over these many years, Thank You LORD! I ask Your Help in helping others to hear and see what Your doing among us, Thank You. We shall the LORD willing continue with these notes at Revelation 6, in our next visit.

"The Secrets of GOD," as revealed by John in the Revealtion of Christ, chapter 19's hidden insights, part 3f of 4, with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.
We just looked closer at our blood covenant up which the New and abiding Covenant of Grace is deeply rooted, in Christ. A place that few religious people know of or even think about in the depth that we went into it. For if they knew what we now know they would hear the Voice of GOD spoken long ago saying to them, 'Come out from among them, My child, I want you with Me.' Okay, now we shall look into the double blow that the Whore of Babylon suffered by the Lamb's sacrifice.
The Wine-press of the "Wrath" or more correctly the Passion of GOD and The Supper:
Revelation 18:6-21, 24, "The Lamb's suffering dealt a double blow to the whore and Beast-system! The counterfeit cup she had mixed turned on her and proved to be her defeat. (Give back to her as also she gave back to you, and double to her double, according to her works. In the cup which she mixed, mix to her double. LITV
Their apparently initial victory in the brutal unjust trial and crucifixion of the Lamb turned against their tyranny in double measure - not only were they outwitted in His death, when the documents of humanity's guilt in the scarred body of Jesus' human form was nailed to the cross, whereby every possible claim against the human race was nullified, but in His resurrection GOD presented the receipt, documenting the justification and redeemed righteousness of the entire human race.
This reminds of what the Prophet Isaiah saw, in 40:2, "Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and cry to her that her warfare is ended, that her iniquity is pardoned, that she has received from the LORD's hand double for all her sins."
The judgment that sin has bought in its hellish torment as inevitable consequence upon humanity is Now atoned for in double proportions in the Lamb's suffering and in the reversal of the Lamb's judgment brought upon all principalities and powers.) This is a complete reversal of her self-inflated glory and luxurious lifestyle to the exposure of her falsehood - like when metal is [1]tested with a touchstone and proves to be fool's gold - and gladness is turned into sorrow. You said in your heart, I am established as a queen and not a widow - I will not know grief. ( The word [1, G929] torment basanismos is from (G928) basanizo to test metals by the touchstone, which is a black siliceous stone used to test the purity of gold or silver by the color of the streak produced on it by rubbing it with either metal - a piece of fine-grained dark schist or jasper formerly used for testing alloys of gold by observing the color of the mark which they made on it - thus, a standard or criterion by which something is judged or recognized. The cup Jesus drank on the cross was the touchstone! "What shall I say? Father remove this cup from Me? NO! For this is the hour I have come for!') Her calamity strikes in one day - death, sorrow and starvation - her entire dynasty is burnt to ashes in the fire of the passionate judgment of the LORD GOD. ( See Isaiah 47:8-9, "'Now therefore hear this, you lover of pleasures, who sit securely, who say in your heart, "I am, and there is no one besides me; I shall not sit as a widow or know the loss of children:" These two things shall come to you in a moment, in one day; The loss of children and widowhood shall come upon you in full measure, in spite of your many sorceries and the great power of your enchantments. All of her "offspring" are rescued out of her sway.'") And the kings of the earth, the executives of the mindsets of the Beast-systems, her faithful fornicating friends and clients, are weeping and wailing bitterly while the smoke of her burning rises. They stand completely detached from her, embarrassed by their association with her in her [1]exposed, pretentious identity, crying, "Alas! Alas!" The mighty city of Babylon is doomed in one hour!" (Repeat here the note of verse 7; The word torment basanismos is from basanizo, to test metals by the touchstone. Man's religious systems and forms all fail the touchstone test. Only the Ekklesia of GOD, being Christ's body has passed, and this done while on the cross!) Also the money-power emperors of the world who control the global trade-routes, the merchants and economists were wailing and mourning because the judgment on her caused the loss of all their clients - no one buys their cargo anymore! The touchstone currency of GOD has exposed the fake currency system of the world economy! (Rev. 17:15) They wept bitterly in deep lament, "Who would have thought that this great city of unequaled prominence could come to nothing!" In their sense of hopelessness and bafflement they cast dust upon their heads as if to wrap their minds around the ultimate reduction of vibrant life to lifeless dust! Weeping and wailing in shock for the great city which has fallen! "Oh what a shame that the famous icon of prosperity who made every ship owner rich are now [1]left utterly desolate in just one hour!"

A [1]deep sense of relief in the heavens as all the Saints and the Apostles and the Prophets celebrate how GOD caused the whore's judgment of others to be her own judgment. (The word, [1, G2165 from G2095 and G5424] euphraino, to be delighted, (G2095) eu, meaning well plus (G5424) phren - innermost being; literally, has judged your judgment out of her - what she has judged concerning you, has been made mute, of no value.) And a huge Shepherd-Messenger lifted a stone like a massive millstone and cast it into the sea, saying, "so shall Babylon the great city be hurled into the ocean and not a single trace of her existence shall ever be found again!" (Mat. 18:6, 'but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened round his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.')....The blood of the Prophets and the Saints and every one [1]slaughtered in the scapegoat-sacrifice system of the world order were [2]vindicated in her destruction." (The word, [1, G4969] sphazo, is the verb used of the slain Lamb. The word, [2, G2147 heurisko pronounced as] eurisko, to find conclusive evidence by scrutiny, to properly perceive.) (The Mirror, with editing.)
Until our next visit, the LORD willing, when we shall begin a look into the notes on the Supper of God starting with chapter 19 verse 9. Until then may the LORD help and equip us all to remain strong in His strength.
The Wine-press of the "Wrath" or more correctly the Passion of GOD and The Supper:
Revelation 18:6-21, 24, "The Lamb's suffering dealt a double blow to the whore and Beast-system! The counterfeit cup she had mixed turned on her and proved to be her defeat. (Give back to her as also she gave back to you, and double to her double, according to her works. In the cup which she mixed, mix to her double. LITV
Their apparently initial victory in the brutal unjust trial and crucifixion of the Lamb turned against their tyranny in double measure - not only were they outwitted in His death, when the documents of humanity's guilt in the scarred body of Jesus' human form was nailed to the cross, whereby every possible claim against the human race was nullified, but in His resurrection GOD presented the receipt, documenting the justification and redeemed righteousness of the entire human race.
This reminds of what the Prophet Isaiah saw, in 40:2, "Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and cry to her that her warfare is ended, that her iniquity is pardoned, that she has received from the LORD's hand double for all her sins."
The judgment that sin has bought in its hellish torment as inevitable consequence upon humanity is Now atoned for in double proportions in the Lamb's suffering and in the reversal of the Lamb's judgment brought upon all principalities and powers.) This is a complete reversal of her self-inflated glory and luxurious lifestyle to the exposure of her falsehood - like when metal is [1]tested with a touchstone and proves to be fool's gold - and gladness is turned into sorrow. You said in your heart, I am established as a queen and not a widow - I will not know grief. ( The word [1, G929] torment basanismos is from (G928) basanizo to test metals by the touchstone, which is a black siliceous stone used to test the purity of gold or silver by the color of the streak produced on it by rubbing it with either metal - a piece of fine-grained dark schist or jasper formerly used for testing alloys of gold by observing the color of the mark which they made on it - thus, a standard or criterion by which something is judged or recognized. The cup Jesus drank on the cross was the touchstone! "What shall I say? Father remove this cup from Me? NO! For this is the hour I have come for!') Her calamity strikes in one day - death, sorrow and starvation - her entire dynasty is burnt to ashes in the fire of the passionate judgment of the LORD GOD. ( See Isaiah 47:8-9, "'Now therefore hear this, you lover of pleasures, who sit securely, who say in your heart, "I am, and there is no one besides me; I shall not sit as a widow or know the loss of children:" These two things shall come to you in a moment, in one day; The loss of children and widowhood shall come upon you in full measure, in spite of your many sorceries and the great power of your enchantments. All of her "offspring" are rescued out of her sway.'") And the kings of the earth, the executives of the mindsets of the Beast-systems, her faithful fornicating friends and clients, are weeping and wailing bitterly while the smoke of her burning rises. They stand completely detached from her, embarrassed by their association with her in her [1]exposed, pretentious identity, crying, "Alas! Alas!" The mighty city of Babylon is doomed in one hour!" (Repeat here the note of verse 7; The word torment basanismos is from basanizo, to test metals by the touchstone. Man's religious systems and forms all fail the touchstone test. Only the Ekklesia of GOD, being Christ's body has passed, and this done while on the cross!) Also the money-power emperors of the world who control the global trade-routes, the merchants and economists were wailing and mourning because the judgment on her caused the loss of all their clients - no one buys their cargo anymore! The touchstone currency of GOD has exposed the fake currency system of the world economy! (Rev. 17:15) They wept bitterly in deep lament, "Who would have thought that this great city of unequaled prominence could come to nothing!" In their sense of hopelessness and bafflement they cast dust upon their heads as if to wrap their minds around the ultimate reduction of vibrant life to lifeless dust! Weeping and wailing in shock for the great city which has fallen! "Oh what a shame that the famous icon of prosperity who made every ship owner rich are now [1]left utterly desolate in just one hour!" (The word [1, G2048] eremos, means desolate; Also used of a woman neglected by her husband, from whom the husband withholds himself. The whore-city is now bereft of all her lovers.) A [1]deep sense of relief in the heavens as all the Saints and the Apostles and the Prophets celebrate how GOD caused the whore's judgment of others to be her own judgment. (The word, [1, G2165 from G2095 and G5424] euphraino, to be delighted, (G2095) eu, meaning well plus (G5424) phren - innermost being; literally, has judged your judgment out of her - what she has judged concerning you, has been made mute, of no value.) And a huge Shepherd-Messenger lifted a stone like a massive millstone and cast it into the sea, saying, "so shall Babylon the great city be hurled into the ocean and not a single trace of her existence shall ever be found again!" (Mat. 18:6, 'but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened round his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.')....The blood of the Prophets and the Saints and every one [1]slaughtered in the scapegoat-sacrifice system of the world order were [2]vindicated in her destruction."

"The Secrets of GOD," as revealed by John in the Revealtion of Christ, chapter 19's hidden insights, part 3e of 4, with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.
Picking up at Revelation 17 to find our subject area here, it being "the Wine-press of the "Wrath" or Passion of GOD and the Great Supper." Here we fine the woman of Babylon the symbolic system hidden in this worlds religions, as disguised under a false cover system of idolatrous wickedness containing the delusion of Thessalonians.
The Wine-press of the "Wrath" of GOD and The Great Supper:
Revelation 17:4-6, "The woman was draped in purple and scarlet fabric, festooned and sprinkled with golden, precious stones and pearls. Holding a golden [1]cup in her hand, 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 to the worlds religious systems to in Mat. 23:25-33. "'Hypocrites! For you are so careful to clean the outside of the [1]cup [poterion] and the dish, but inside you are filthy - full of greed and self-indulgences! You are like beautifully decorated tombs on the outside, desperately trying to hide the stench of decaying corpses within.'"
The Harlot represents the counterfeit [1]cup [poterion] of the covenant cup of the Lord.
1Corinthians 10:16, 21 and 11:25, "The cup [poterion] of blessing which we bless, is it not our communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion body of Christ?....You cannot drink the cup [poterion] of the Lord, and the cup [poterion]of devils: you cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, our altar of seamless union and of the table of devils....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 oft as you drink in remembrance of Me!'"
The covenant cup of the Lord communicates the redeemed life of our design incarnate in our person and fellowship and celebrated in our every meal!) The words written upon her forehead, exposes her mystery identity: "Babylon the Great, the Mother of Whores, and the filth of the earth." (Roman harlots wore a label with their names on their brows. -Rhet. 1.2.7; Juvenal VI. 122f.) The woman I saw was intoxicated with the blood of the [1]Saints and the blood of [2]those who bore the testimony of Jesus - [the cup she drank represented her opposition to everything that the blood of Jesus communicates.] This left me mesmerized, pondering what I saw, desiring to understand the context of it all." (She was intoxicated with the thought that accuses, as sinful, humanity; That could be reckoned blameless Saints by our union in the blood of the Lamb. (Rev. 7:9, 13-14 also 12:11, "Mikael and his Shepherd-Messengers [representing the entire Host of Heaven - including all the multitudes previously mentioned in revelation, received by inspiration] conquered the Dragon because of their identity in the blood of the Lamb and the incarnate/rhema word of their/our testimony!) (The Mirror, with editing.)
I am cutting this one short because of the length of the next section found in Rev. 18. Now may the LORD of All increase our acceptance of His Logos - that is to say, rhema within us.

"The Secrets of GOD," as revealed by John in the Revealtion of Christ, chapter 19's hidden insights, part 3d of 4, with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.
By way of remembered we are looking at the author's notes on Revelation 19's The Winepress of the "Wrath" or rather the Passion of GOD and The Great Supper," with a look into Colossians 2 beginning at verse 14. And all is done from a Redeemed mindset, no longer a manipulated religious mindset of a evil fallen unbelieving nature that lacks both faith and belief.
The Winepress of the Passion of GOD and the Great Supper:
Colossians 2:14-15, "His body nailed to the cross hung there as the document of humanity's guilt; In dying our death He forever cancelled the detailed hand-written record which testified against us. Every stain on our conscience, removed no longer there to reminding us of the sense of failure and guilt, was thus fully blotted out. In Him dying humanity's death, He defused every possible claim of accusation against the human race and thus made a public spectacle (in Mat. 27:51b-54; Gen. 3:15, Ps. 18:5, 15, 68:18; Is. 49:24-25, 53:12, Hosea 6:2-3, Hab. 3:13; John 16:11, Heb. 12:25-27) of every rule and authority in GOD'S brilliant triumph, demonstrated in Him. 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 cross stripped religion of its fraudulent authority to manipulate humanity with guilt. Every accusation lost its leverage to blackmail the human race with condemnation and shame!
He stripped all the spiritual tyrants in the universe of their sham authority at the Cross and marched them naked through the streets of Jerusalem on resurrection morning. (Matthew 27:51-54)
Rev. 8:3,,,,The following words are all connected to the idea of sacrifice - thusiasterion - the place of sacifice - altar - from thusia, sacrifice, from thuo, to slay and burn the sacrifice; thumiama, the smoke or in the Greek mind, the soul of the sacrifice; thumos, passion, wrongly translated as "wrath." All the Romansch languages derive their word for smoke, or smoking, fumar from thumos. Also the word perfume originates from the ame idea. Much perfumes were given Him, thumiamata, again the sweet smelling, favorable fumes from the sacrifice is implied.
Isaiah 25:6-8, "The LORD of hosts will prepare a lavish banquet for all peoples on this mountain; A banquet of aged wine, choice pieces with marrow, and refined, aged wine. And on this mountain He will swallow up the covering which is over all peoples, even the veil which is stretched over all nations. He will swallow up death for all time, and the LORD GOD will wipe tears away from all faces, and He will remove the reproach of His people from all the earth; For the LORD has spoken...!" (quoted from the Holman Christian Standard Bible)
On this mountain He will destroy the burial shroud, the shroud over all the peoples, the sheet covering all the nations. (of Isa. 25:6, quoted from the International Standard Version)
Revelation 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, G2372 from G2380] thumos, means passion and [2, G3709 from G3713 oregomai] orgē is from oregomai, to stretch one's self out in order to touch or to grasp something, to reach after with intense desire (as we are to pursue the knowledge and understanding of Christ,,ie. GOD). The third part is a symbolic expression of a representative portion of the whole. here, the counterfeit Trinity, represented in the Whore-City Babylon, is the divided and conquered of religion.) (The Mirror, with editing.)
We shall, the LORD willing, pick this back up with a look at Revelation 17's woman in black or was it purple? Until then may the LORD increase our awareness of His presence within us All. This being our healing of promise, our awareness as small stones.

"The Secrets of GOD," as revealed by John in the Revealtion of Christ, chapter 19's hidden insights, part 3c of 4, with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.
We are currently looking into the authors notes on the Wine-press of the "Wrath" of GOD and the Great Supper of Revelation 19:15. With this post we shall be looking at among other things Colossians 2:14-15.
The Wine-Press of GOD and The Great Supper:
Colossians 2:14-15, "His body nailed to the cross hung there as the document of humanity's guilt; In dying our due death He cancelled the detailed hand-written record which testified against us. Every stain on our consciousness, was removed that reminding us of the sense of failure and guilt, it was thus fully blotted out. (Religion has pushed a false narrative trying to make it a positive for eons. It being the forbidden fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, its fruit being that evil.) By His dying (our) humanity's death, He defused every possible claim of accusation against the human race and thus made a public (Mat. 27:51b-54) spectacle of every rule and authority in GOD'S brilliant triumph, demonstrated in Him. 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 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!
"He 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. 27:51b-54)

Holman Christian Standard Bible.
"On this mountain He will destroy the burial shroud, the shroud over all the peoples, the sheet covering all the nations;" [in John 11:39-44, 20:5, 7] Internal Standard Version)
Revelation 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, G2372 from G2380 thuō, smoke] thumos, translates fierceness here means passion, and [2, G3709] orge, is from (G3713) oregomai, to stretch one's self out in order to touch or grasp something, to reach after with intense desire. The third part is a symbolic expression of a representative portion of the whole. Here, the counterfeit Trinity (of religion), represented the Whore-City Babylon, is divided and conquered.)
