The two books, combined, have a powerful effect on
me. Prophecy becomes alive. I can see through time.
That sounds boastful, but, it's the truth, when I get
caught up in the Spirit.
Going back to revisit Turkey, where today, the
Pope visits amongst great consternation, makes
me realize that we have to confess to seeing prophetic
events, and confess that we are seeing Angels, in
different experiences. We need to accept the Prophecies,
which are now being fulfilled by world events, and
visitation by the Holy Ghost.
We are so blessed to be living in these times.
But, the paradox is that we are facing Judgment Day.
Judgment begins in the House of God.
The Church is where Christ begins to
issue judgment.
Just like the Roman provincial governors
and prosecutors, would go to Asia minor,
and investigate the cities of faith, for
signs they were being Christianized,
(Their term for the new Judao-Pagan
disciples of the First Century in Turkey,)
Christ comes to issue judgment in the
same clockwise semi-circle of the 7
cities.
The symbolisms in Revelation are
powerful, in English, and potentially
overwhelming, in the ruff of ancient
Greek. The ancient languages bring
the most layers of rewards.
The Book of Revelation adapts well
to Shakespearean English. While
Shakespeare may have contributed
to the Old Testament, and Psalms,
like Ps. 46, the translated Greek is
perfect.
King James', lined up with a linear
Greek text, is very consistent, in
both languages. This is important
because it's all about prophecy.
What is even more amazing, is that
the NT, in Greek, is a perfect companion,
in every way, to the OT. That's why the
most mystical work by an Apostle, was
by John, the Beloved. It's poignant to
consider the love between this boy and Christ.
By becoming Mary's son, after the crucifixion,
he plays an important role in history.
John becomes caught up in the same
experience as Daniel, Zechariah, and
the others who saw the same events,
in their day. That event doesn't take
place in our perceptible "time."
It happens outside of time, in
Heaven, where God lives.
It's a different parrallel realm.
First Christ is taking John on a
strange expedition. It was like
Ezekiel's visions, and out of body
experiences. John reiterates what
Ezekiel wrote about, and with greater
understanding. Ezekiel didn't have
the Messiah yet.
I'm going to go back to reading and
feeling Rev. 1.
Paradox after paradox. Layering of time
and space, into discernable transparent
layers, one on top of another one. Wheels
within wheels. Every image of righteousness
displayed blatantly.
The Book of Revelations is like a holy
LSD trip, in a way. I guess that sounds
blasphemous, but, in a way, that's the
only way to grab hold of it. Events are
juxtaposed on our times, not in order,
but, also, not one at a time, but,
simultaneously.; I can't explain it any
better than that.
Disclaimer: These are my most extreme
views. In SOAP inductive studies, it's
usually encouraged to discuss the most
mystical things. If they're not real, they
fall away.
