THE MESSAGE

In Reference to

THE BOOK of

REVELATION

>>CHAPTER 1

REVELATION  =

• unveiling, disclosing, communicating, enlightening

of what are already there !!!!

• like unveiling of a marker for a happening,

• disclosing of its message,

• and enlightening

of why it has to get communicated

• to them who will live thereafter

particularly
INCLUDING US!

• (written in A.D. 95-96 yet, later part of Domitian’s reign)

>>verse 1 =

THE REVELATION of
JESUS THE CHRIST

• THE REVEALED is HE

• WHO in HIS RESURRECTED STATUS

• is being put across here

• for showing to HIS bond-servants

• (not to all HIS servants)

• (since then in A.D. 96 yet)

starting with
THE HAPPENINGS
which were to shortly
start taking place

after John’s death

when all the apostles
will have DIED already

>>>T#025
OVERVIEW to REVELATION
Chapters 2&3

• for sending and to be communicated BY SIGNS

• to be understood

• in their SYMBOLISMS by

• HIS bond-servant John, for him to write

• to be eventually understood also

• and most importantly responded to

• by the rest of HIS bond-servants

• in-their-respective lifetimes:

THE WORLD's
CHRONOLOGY OF EVENTS

>>verse 2 =

FROM John -- the witness

concerning THE CHRIST

(>>John 1:7)

WHO is HIMSELF

--- THE WORD of GOD

• to THE CHURCH --- which is

• THE TESTIMONY of THE LORD JESUS THE CHRIST --- and

• to all things that he saw

THE WHOLE BOOK
OF REVELATION
therefore
presents to, unveils to,
discloses to, communicates to,
enlightens:

1st. > THE CHRIST’s bond-servants

• --- by signs and symbols

JESUS THE CHRIST IN HEAVEN

since HIS ASCENSION till NOW(!)

• in contrast to THE JESUS CHRIST

• many if not all denominational preachers have pre-occupied themselves with preaching

• up to only as SEATED

• IN THE RIGHT HAND OF The Father

• with no further credible elaboration

• what HE is doing THERE

• since seated!

HENCE ....... THE CHRIST,
particularly
HIS COUNTENANCE,
HIS PARTICULAR
MOODS & DISMAY

are rendered
UN-COMMUNICATED

when THEY
should have been

for us TO very importantly
RESPONDED TO
unta,

• making our claimed relationship with HIM

• misguided if not JUST IMAGINED!!!!

2nd. > THE TESTIFYING DENOMINATIONS and CHURCHES

• .... of THE ASCENDED JESUS THE CHRIST

• IN HEAVEN since HIS ASCENSION

• .... in HIS DISMAY,

• particular MOODS

• and corresponding WORDS

• for THEM TO RESPOND TO

• for THEM to end up their denials

THEY ARE WALLOWING IN
THESE CORRUPTIONS
NOW(!)
.... for THEIR OVERCOMING!


THIS PARTICULAR BOOK

shows us

• how all of us CLAIMANT BELIEVERS

• in THE LORDSHIP & THE CHRISTHOOD of JESUS

• ought-to-relate ourselves with HIM, 

• in HIM

• and

• with our fellow believers

• in the different denominations

• >>>[blogBOOK #4]

if we are-to-be

• HIS ONE CHURCH,

• HIS upcoming BRIDE (>>2nd Corinthians 11:2)

• --- while WE AWAIT RIGHTLY & APPROVINGLY

• of HIS coming!

HOW WE
OUGHT TO RESPOND

AS WE OBSERVE HIS
COUNTENANCE,

SEE & HEAR HIS DISMAY,

& HEAR & HEED HIS WORDS

HERE in THE BOOK
OF REVELATION

IS GOD’s
METHODOLOGY FOR OUR
UNITY

  WITH HIM, “unta!!!”

• and not by our efforts

• at confrontationally arguing over our doctrinal differences

• as we are bullishly doing!

THE CHURCH, in fact
is presented
in THIS BOOK as in:

Chapter 01 - as THE ALL-GOLD 7-LAMPS ON A COMMON GOLD STAND

   02 & 03 - as THE CHURCH CORRUPTED in STAGES

            07 - as THE REDEEMED MULTITUDE
 
            12 - as THE BRIGHT WOMAN with HER MAN-Child

            14 - as THE FIRST FRUITS HARVEST

            15 - as THE OVERCOMERS in The Glassy Sea


            19 - as THE BRIDE Ready for Marriage

            21 & 22 - as THE NEW JERUSALEM

>>verse 3 =

“blessed”

• --- more than just a  happy state

• --- describes the favorable circumstance

• GOD puts these persons

WHO READ, WHO HEAR,
& WHO HEED

(take notice, pay
attention and obey!)

ALL THAT ARE WRITTEN
HEREIN =

• because we have ROLES to play

• in fact, specific COMMANDS TO OBEY

• in this SCRIPT GOD HAS WRITTEN FOR US

• IF WE ARE TO LIVE UP

• TO BEING part of HIS CHURCH!

After  introducing
THE whole BOOK
of REVELATION,

John now proceeds
to introduce
in particular,

the things which
must start to shortly
take place

of THE ONE CHURCH

• --- in that span of time in 7-stages

• as summed to its totality

• --- herein by the 7-differently observably-appearing churches

• --- in their progression in corruption whom he directly addresses to hereunder.

>>verse 4 =

FROM John,
TO the 7-churches

• (taken collectively in terms of

• the accumulating corruptions

• during this whole period of the end-time)

• as portrayed by THE ALL-GOLD 7-LAMPS ON A COMMON STAND

• to behold in one glimpse at one setting

• (>>Revelation 1:12 and >>1:20)

"Grace to you and peace"

• --- unmerited favor in particular to you

• who reads, hears, and keeps what are written here

• --- declared as blessed earlier,


 and

• peace (>>>T#057)

• toward GOD

• (>>Romans 5:1)

> assurances to
THE CHURCH
because of the period of
turmoil and chaos

we will always find ourselves
among the churches
in this world


.

• FROM Him WHO is, and WHO was, and WHO is to come = GOD The Father

• 
FROM The 7Spirits WHO are before HIS throne  =  The Holy Spirit

The 7-fold intensified
operating Spirit of GOD
in this world
after all the apostles died.

>>verse 5 =

And FROM THE LORD
JESUS THE CHRIST

•    [1] THE FAITHFUL WITNESS to THE WHOLE of MANKIND

to be taught

--- WE are to be the moving
images in the likeness of

the authority of the
invisible GOD --->

---> over all active lives!
(>>Genesis 1:26, >>>P#007)

and

---> as our brother's keepers
(>>Genesis 4:9).

•    [2] THE FIRST BORN of THE DEAD to ALL IN THE VARIOUS RELIGIONS

to be taught to

all of them whether they are

"INSIDERS" (>>Luke 24:13-35) or 

"OUTCASTS" (>>John 4:4-29)

in their GROUP --

because still they both need

THE ENCOUNTER by JESUS!

•    [3] THE RULER OVER the kings of the earth to THE SECULAR WORLD

to be taught to

all of them whether they are

IN BOUNTY (>>Luke 19:1-10)
or

IN NEED (>>John 5:1-15)

despite their worldly focus

to succeed --- still they need

THE ENCOUNTER by JESUS!

Here in >>Revelation 1:4 & 5,

grace and peace
are coming
from The Father, The Son,

and The Holy Spirit.

• During the lifetime of the apostles,

• when THE CHURCH WAS APPROPRIATELY

• “eldered” by them,

• only The Father and The Son

• are mentioned as from whom

• grace and peace were given

• to the individual disciple,  believer, saint or Christian

(>>Romans 1:7, >>1st Corinthians 1:3, >>2nd Corinthians 1:2, >>Galatians 1:3, >>Ephesians 1:3, >>Philippians 1:2,
>>1st Thessalonians 1:1, >>2nd Thessalonians 1:2)

IN OUR TIME NOW(!)

it is impossible to see

THE 1 CHURCH

or THE UNITY of
THE CHURCHES

if we do not
see HER from

WHAT ARE WRITTEN

on record in Revelation
Chapters 2 & 3.



• Reading and 

• understanding

• Chapters 2 & 3

• will give us by the grace of GOD

the grasp of the beginning,
the progress, and the height
of the corruptions originating

FROM WITHIN

THE ONE CHURCH

• as GOD caused John to write ----

• for our knowledge and understanding

• according to the fully-intensified 7-step sequence

• of The Holy Spirit’s operation

• to get THE CHURCH

• eventually of unblemished status

• when SHE shall be presented to

• THE CHRIST as HIS BRIDE

• >>Revelation 21:2, >>2nd Cor. 11:2, >>Ephesians 5:31-32

• @ HIS 2nd COMING from heaven!




To some extent, the 7-fold Spirit of God’s effectiveness may be likened to Flash Elorde’s having only one left hand. Yet, this one left hand (in only one noticeable flex) was capable of hitting most effectively his opponents weak spot aron ma-knockout niya as did the famous Elorde TRIPLE PUNCH with which he stayed long as Junior Lightweight Champion of the world in the sixties.





THIS IS HOW ASSURED WE ARE OF
SUCCESS IN THE ROLES WE ARE
GOING TO PLAY IN

THIS GOD - GIVEN SCRIPT

FOLLOWING THIS GOD-GIVEN
WAY or METHODOLOGY

HE TERMED
OVERCOMING.

>>verse 6 =

We who have been
redeemed(*) by the blood of
(>>>T#042)
THE CHRIST

have not only been
born of GOD

into HIS KINGDOM(**)
(>>John 3:5)

• but are thereafter

• made into the kingdom of priests(***)

• (>>1st Peter 2:5)

• HIS CHURCH

• (>>Matthew 16:18-19)

• as of THE ROYAL PRIESTHOOD

• (>>1st Peter 2:9)

• --- making HIM for our reckoning

• our SAVIOR(*)

• our KING(**)

• our CHIEF-PRIEST(***) and

• our JUDGE(****)!

 >>verse 7 =

JESUS went to heaven
on a cloud.

HE will come back
from heaven

in the same manner

(>>Acts 1:9, 11;
>>Matthew 26:24;
>>Revelation 14:14).


>>verse 8 =



ALPHA ~ the beginning
= THE CONCEPTUALIZER

• our CREATOR & LORD

• or OWNER-BOSS-COMMANDER(*****)



OMEGA ~ the ending
= THE ONE WHO FULFILLS 

• BY BEING our ONGOING JUDGE(****)

• (>>1st Peter 4:17)

SO THAT DESPITE OUR
CURRENT WAYWARDNESS

WE WILL END-UP AS HE
HAS PLANNED and
CONCEPTUALIZED

AT THE BEGINNING




• HE is THE ALPHA in

• THE BOOK of GENESIS

• HE is THE OMEGA in

• THE BOOK of REVELATION.

• Whatever HE started

• HE will complete and fulfill

thru & by HIS
ongoing judgments and
covictions

(>>1st Peter 4:17)

we are to heed.

• HIS sovereignty reigns over the whole of humanity.

• In-between the beginning and the end though,

• HIS LORDSHIP & CHRISTHOOD & SOVEREIGNTY

• is not easily noticeable;

• BUT, individually

• AMONG US

• WHO TRULY ACKNOWLEDGE HIM as

• OUR LORD ---

• therefore OUR OWNER-BOSS-COMMANDER

• since WE AVAILED

• [>>> P#183]

• of HIS GRAND AMNESTY GRANT and

• devoutedly get HIM to remain

• OUR SAVIOR, OUR KING, OUR CHIEF-PRIEST, & OUR JUDGE

• --- then and only then is

HIS LORDSHIP

& HIS CHRISTHOOD

& SOVEREIGNTY

LIVED by us! 
 

>>verse 9 =

John was in the island of
Patmos, PRECISELY

• (1) FOR THE WORD of GOD,

• (2) FOR THE LORD JESUS THE CHRIST,

• (3) FOR the sake of THE TESTIMONY of JESUS in this world --- THE CHURCH, collectively --- and

• (4) FOR us all individually to live testifying >>1st Peter 3:15-18, >>Matthew 10:32-33, >>Romans 10:9-11.  

THE THEME for
THE CHURCH AGE:

~ SUFFERING ~
~ KINGDOM LIVING ~
~ PATIENCE ~

>>verses 10 and 11 =

The intensified 7-step to
the completion work

of The Spirit of GOD

purifying

 THE CHURCH

• is discernible only through The Spirit

• in our human spirit,

• in our Intuition, Conscience and Sense of Communion w/ GOD

as “THE ORGAN”
with which we KNOW,
GRASP, and FATHOM
and thereafter

respond to GOD’s move!

• Our intelligence, feelings, urges & appetites, and will

• which is our SOUL ---

• can only make us UNDERSTAND(!)

• those moves of HIS

• but ONLY AFTER

• our intuition, conscience & sense of communion w/ GOD ---

• which is our human spirit,

• make us KNOW(!) them.

4 Major VISIONS John
Saw & Wrote Into

THE BOOK of REVELATION

• 
Chapters 1 - 3  The Vision on The Churches (>>Rev. 1:10)


• Chapters 4 - 16 The Vision on The Destiny of The World (>>Rev. 14:20)

• Chapters 17 - 20 The Vision on The Great Babylon (>>Rev. 17:3)

• Chapters 21 - 22 The Vision on The New Jerusalem (>>Rev. 21:10)

The word “+Ephesus”
to a Greek literally means,
desirable.

• This referred to that part of THE one CHURCH

• who remained [@1st STAGE]

• ---- IN DESIRABLE STATUS

• as established by JESUS on Pentecost Day A.D. 33

• whom Paul wrote to in A.D. 64 in Ephesus

• and still continuing at such desirable state

• as written to by John here in >>Revelation 2:1-7

• as left under the eldering of the apostles in A.D. 96 or thereabouts

• BUT continued shortly

• .... BUT whom THE LORD JESUS HIMSELF spoke of in >>Revelation 2:4-7

• .... with clearly anticipated concerns for HER status thereafter!




The word “++Smyrna” to a
Greek literally means myrrh,
and myrrh figuratively
means suffering.

• This signifies that THE one CHURCH then still 

•  IN DESIRABLE STATUS >>>>

• --- later

• metamorphosed into

• THE CHURCH [2nd STAGE]

• ---- IN SUFFERING

• >>>> in A.D. 96 -100 or thereabouts (>>Revelation 2:8-11)

• when THEY were not able to OVERCOME

• the behavioral (yet as of that time!)

• authoritativeness

• of some among them then!!!!

The word “+++Pergamos”
to a Greek literally means
in union.

• This signifies that THE readily-visible & appearing CHURCH IN SUFFERING

• metamorphosed into

• THE CHURCH [3rd STAGE] 

• ---- IN UNION WITH THE WORLD (>>Revelation 2:12-17)

• when many of them did not want to remain in suffering sometime in A.D. 100 - 313 or thereabouts,

• as the behaviors of those Nicolaitans among them

• progressed to doctrines & teachings of the world

• which they "found somehow comforting" to their sufferings !!!!




The word “*Thyatira” to a
Greek literally means
sacrifice of perfume.

• This signifies that THE one CHURCH

• observably visible IN UNION WITH THE WORLD

• metamorphosed into

• THE CHURCH [4th STAGE] 

• ---- IN SWEET-SCENTED LINGERING SACRIFICES (>>Revelation 2:18-29) in sometime A.D. 313

• and since then continuing to the present !!!!

• ... as already happily MARRIED

• with THE ENTIRETY of WORLDLINESS world-wide!!!!

The word “**Sardis”
to a Greek literally means
remnant.

• This signifies that from out of THE CHURCH IN SWEET-SCENTED SACRIFICES stemmed

• THE CHURCH [5th STAGE]

• ---- IN REMNANT STATUS (>>Revelation 3:1-6) in A.D. 1517

• and since then continuing to the present !!!!

The word “***Philadelphia”
to a Greek literally means
brotherly love.

• This signifies that from out of THE CHURCH IN REMNANT STATUS

• whom THE LORD was not happy with after all,

• stemmed or sprang

• THE CHURCH [6th STAGE]

• ---- IN BROTHERLY LOVE (>>Revelation 3:7-13) in sometime A.D. 1825

• and since then continuing to the present !!!!




The word “****Laodicea”
to a Greek literally means

opinions,
discernment or
in the judgments of people.

• This signifies that from out of THE CHURCH IN BROTHERLY LOVE --->

• who lived THE CHURCH LIFE

as an organism and not as 
organization

• as did THE CHURCH then in EPHESUS, SMYRNA, and PERGAMOS

• as contrasted to THE CHURCH IN THYATIRA (the 1st to organize world-wide in membership)

• and THE CHURCH IN SARDIS (next to organize; however, nationally in Germany and in England only)

--->some of them
in
THE CHURCH
IN BROTHERLY LOVE

together with them dissatisfied
with their religions

• invariably organized themselves into

• THE CHURCHes [7th STAGE]

• ---- IN THE JUDGMENTS OF MEN

• (>>Revelation 3:14-22)

• starting noticeably sometime A.D. 1830

• and since then continuing without let-up in number

• so easily tracked by their various assumed names

• --- characteristic of THE DENOMINATIONS

• --- to the present !!!!

**** These last four churches
sprang out at different
times

• but since then have co-existed and will continue co-existing

• despite their differences and animosities

• --- until THE CHRIST’s return from heaven!

• Notice the mention of HIS return in verses >>2:25, >>3:3, >>3:11, >>3:20

• which is exclusive for them

• who have died as OVERCOMERS while in their respective religions

• vis-a-vis those particular behaviours and teachings of THOSE NICOLAITANS they were with!

• Also, the mention of the rewards for the overcomers coming ahead of (our) being challenged

IF WE really HAVE
EARS TO LISTEN

• and not just hear THE MESSAGE

• contained in Chapters 1-3 and

• what these particulars are that makes

• us OVERCOMERS!!!

Ascertain HOW MUCH TIME
YOU HAVE TO THINK
THROUGH

for YOU TO REPENT --- 

and be THE OVERCOMER

in response to verses >>2:22,
>>3:3, and >>3:19!!!!

• +++ The first three churches

• are an absolute past in our time

• --- the rewards for the overcomers then

• came announced immediately following

• IF THEY HAD EARS FOR THE WORD OF GOD!

• They had no time to ponder

• on their respective rewards

• as incentives should they heed THE WORD of GOD!

• Time to them was such fleeting.

>>verse 12 =

To see clearly any thing ...
the viewer that
we are

• --- need to be turned

• to the right direction @ the precise angle!!!!

• When John first heard the voice (>>v.10)

• he had to make a turn “to see the voice”

• and having turned (>>v.12)

• he saw

• THE ALL-GOLD 7-LAMPS ON A COMMON GOLD STAND

• at one-stare-one-setting.

This is to be true with

ALL of US AMNESTIED

by THE CHRIST in our time

irregardless of, and more so

• because of the countless DENOMINATIONS and churches

• ---> whose members and LEADERS <---

• bullishly insist on US

• to see things from their perspective

• right where WE may find OURSELVES among

• or see from a distance.

AS IT WAS TO JOHN
for OUR example,

THIS APPLIES TO
All OF Us

CLAIMANT CHRISTIANS
TODAY!

• All of us need to turn to

• the direction right from whom we hear

• then, get turned to a perspective where

• we see the whole stretch of THE CHURCH history of ITS CORRUPTIONS 

• at one setting as John had seen and written and

• The Holy Spirit seen fit to get written 

• in THE BOOK of REVELATION Chapters 1-3

• for us to see,

• to realize

• and to live our individual roles

• in our respective lifetimes

• and spread THIS TRUTH!!!!

Unless and until we SEE
THE CHURCH from

the precise
PERSPECTIVE

John had seen @ one setting,

unless and until
we discontinue
to see THE CHURCH from

the point of view from
any of these
organized churches around;

•  ---- WE WILL NOT HAVE PUT OURSELVES IN THE POSITION

• & then THE POWER

TO BECOME
(>>John 1:12)

THE CHURCH
THE LORD JESUS

CONCEPTUALIZED
US TO BE

AND IS PRESENTLY
JUDGING US

~ WITH HIS VERDICTS
TO CONFORM TO ~

by our obedience NOW!

• For truly, we are now(!)

• being judged by HIM,

• while the world is not as yet,

for JUDGMENT begins in
the household of GOD

(>>1st Peter 4:17)

• as HIS way of caring

that we may become
HIS unblemished BRIDE

• when HE comes back!!!!

UNLESS and UNTIL
we get ourselves individually

and rightly positioned
vis-à-vis
THESE DENOMINATIONS

we are now(!) with,

• we will not have put ourselves in the position

• to get JESUS prepare us now(!)

• in our individual lifetimes

• for the marriage with HIM

• when HE comes back

• from heaven where HE is now(!)

• at the right hand of The Father

• seated there ---

• currently JUDGING us!!!

THE LAMPSTAND = THE CHURCH
being golden signifies

• that no matter how corrupted IT has become

• eventually after ITS founding in Jerusalem in A.D. 33; 

• the churches constituting IT (including even the apostate church(!)

• are truly constituted with the divine nature of GOD!

We are grievously
mistaken when we accuse
each other

as of

the church of Satan

because in

THE BIBLE,

THE LAMPSTAND

has always been a part of 
GOD’s
construction of a building:

• of the tabernacle by Moses (>>Exodus 25:8, >>31-40)

• of the temple by Solomon (>>1st Kings 7:48-51)


• of the re-construction of GOD’s temple by Zerubabel (>>Zechariah 4:2-10)

And now(!) here in

THE BOOK of
REVELATION,

THE LAMPSTAND
is associated with

• the construction of the building

• and the city that it will form part with

yet to be finished constructing

• THE ONE CHURCH =

• >>> T#036 BUILD - - “the assembly and fitting together of components into a structure like a building, or a place such as a city WE ARE NOW unknowingly CONSTRUCTING!.”

• THAT LAMPSTAND which

• forms part & will in fact, later inhabit

• THAT CITY

• THE NEW JERUSALEM(!)

by JESUS HIMSELF

• REVELATION >>Chapters 1-3, >>Chapter 21

and reckoning with
(>>1st Corinthians 3:9-23)



• we are THE CHRIST’s fellow-builders (>>verse 9)

• after the foundation of the building has been laid by Paul (verse 10)

• of which we as called-outs from these countless churches

• ---- all are THE LAMPSTAND's

• several components

• HE started caring with HIS JUDGMENTS

• after we got AMNESTIED

• [>>> P#183]!!!

>>verse 13 =

“in the midst of
THE 7-candled LAMPSTAND"

• (7-different appearances of THE ONE CHURCH

• in her full stretch of history at a single glance)

“One as The Son of Man"

• THE LORD JESUS THE CHRIST

•  --- tending as JUDGE / caring as CHIEF-PRIEST

• for the differently-dirtied-churches

• of what has corrupted and

• is keeping them corrupt till NOW!

“clothe with a garment
reaching to the feet”

• (priestly-robed)

• --- signifies the fullness of THE CHRIST’s

• divine nature and human attributes

• to make it easy for us to trust HIM

“girded across HIS breast
with a golden girdle”

• --- signifies care in HIS loving.

• THE CHRIST’s work

• in producing THE CHURCH

• is already an accomplished fact.

• HE no longer needs to be girded for strength at HIS loins

as HE does now(!) the work
of purifying-JUDGING

THE CHURCH.

• The priests in The Old Testament were girded at their loins for their work (>>Exodus 28:4).

• THE CHRIST HIMSELF then in >>Daniel 10:5 was girded with fine gold at HIS loins.

• Not any more currently!

The golden girdle signifies
the divine strength
with which HE cares

• as HE moves in influence

• and in time

• in these churches riddled with corruptions

• to care for them

• in HIS nasuko humanity

• and divine strength in love

on a we
SHOULD NOT IGNORE
CONCEPT ---

HIS continuing CARES

for each one of us ---
ONE-TO-ANOTHER
CONCEPT!

>>verse 14 =

“white hair “

• --- signifies great age (>>Job 15:10),

• the ancientness of THE LORD JESUS THE CHRIST.

• The black hair with which HE was shown in >>Song of Songs Chapter 5:11

• signified HIS unfading and everlasting strength.

“white wool, as snow”

• ---  wool originates from life on earth  and snow from the sky (1st heaven);

• this signifies that THE CHRIST’s ancientness in knowledge

• is as HIS earthly involvements

• and as it originated also from heaven is not just earthly.

“HIS eyes were like
a flame of fire”

• --- described differently as like doves in >>Song of Songs Chapter 5:12

• --- which is emblematic of HIS eyes expressing HIS love

• for HIS people then who lived and died prior to that particular Pentecost Day of A.D. 33.

HIS eyes now(!)
are meant for
HIS observing and
scorching search

for purposes

of HIS judging US

(>>1st Peter 4:17)!

• HIS eyes NOW(!) (>>Revelation 5:6)

• number 7 and not 2

as The Holy Spirit’s way 
of impressing in us
  

• HE is observing and searching us completely and in all thoroughness.

• This Book of REVELATION, in fact, is of JUDGING

• by THE CHRIST JESUS!

FIRE is emblematic of
divine judgment

(>>1st Corinthians 3:13;
>>Hebrews 6:8, >>10:27).

• Our GOD is a consuming fire (>>Hebrews 12:29);

• HIS throne is like the fiery flame and its wheels burning fire,

• and a fiery stream issues and comes forth from before HIM (>>Daniel 7:9-10).

All the above are
for judgment!

• The summed impression of THE LORD’s eyes being a flame of fire is

• because of what HE is seeing in us.

• HE is showing HIMSELF to us

as heated up in HIS task of judging

• (>>Revelation 2:18-23; >>19:11-12).

When HE comes to exercise
judgment over the world

• HE comes with feet like pillars of fire (>>Revelation 10:1)

>>verse 15 =

“feet”

• --- signifies walk;

• the purpose of such walk is for the thoroughness

• of HIS TASK of JUDGING

“brass”

• --- signifies divine judgment

“caused to glow in a furnace”

• --- THE CHRIST’s judging role

• was tried by HIS sufferings and death on the cross

• qualifying HIM as THE AUTHORITY

• to be THE JUDGE

• FOR all UNRIGHTEOUSNESS

“as the sound of many waters”

• --- HIS voice unstoppable and uninterruptible,

• seriously determined by HIM for our heeding

• when listened to as

• --- desired by HIM to be when we listen near;

• lingering, solemn even so --- when just heard from a distance

>>verse 16 =

“in HIS right hand”

• --- under HIS command and authority for HIS deployment

• --- (>>Hebrews 4:11)

“seven stars”

• --- seven messengers,

• complete number of messengers

• HE has depended upon in THIS CHURCH AGE

• >>> T#097

• for HIS message to reach every one

• HE wants to get reached

“out of  HIS mouth came a
sharp two-edged sword”

• (>>Hebrews 4:12; >>Ephesians 6:17)

• --- words of judgment particularly

• >>>Revelation 2:18-3:22 inclusive

• for this end time & situation of ours,

• THE CHURCH AGE, in contrast to:

“mouth most sweet”

• --- >>Song of Songs 5:16, spoken of the mouth of JESUS in The Old Testament times

“gracious words”

• --- >>Luke 4:22, pre-Church Age,

• during the lifetime of JESUS on earth

• (from HIS birth to HIS ascension)

“like the sun shining in its strength”

• ---  The face of JESUS in these times

• when all the apostles are dead already

• and their personal “eldering” already absent

• in THE CHURCH,

• in contrast to:

In OT times, >>Song of Songs
Chapter 5:10, 13

“lovely for HIS seekers’
appreciation

• In the apostolic times, >>2nd Corinthians 4:6

• reflected GOD’s glory.

Both the lampstand
and the stars are

• for our very serious consideration in symbolism

• for us to be able to do our individual

• and additional share at furnishing light

for our OVERCOMING the darkness in THE CHURCH

• brought about by the behaviors and teachings

• of THESE NICOLAITANS around.

There is every need for
THE KINDLER's

DAGKOT or SINDI

• by the complete number of the messengers

• (The 7-STARS)

• GOD has sent and continuing to send

• (>> Hebrews 13:2)

• throughout the existence of the corruptions in THE CHURCHes

• symbolized by THE LAMPSTAND!

Further left for our
realization is
this truth to manifest in us:

• the light-giving capacities of the individual saints

• (collectively in GOD's perspective ---THE CHURCH)

• at any given time and

• the individual stars

• (Tig-DAGKOT or Taga-SINDI, THE KINDLERS)

• are utterly and undeniably incapable of lighting

• the whole vast expanse

• of the darkness of the corruptions in THE CHURCHes

and this should be
THE ATTITUDE we

should have for ourselves

• as we do the roles THE LORD has scripted for us;

PAUPOY-UPOY
LANG TA kay

• no sending church ta,
• no solicited funding ta,
• no organizational support ta,
• no advertisements ta,
• no introductions ta,
• no announcements ta,
• no labels ta, 
• no nameplates ta,
• no titles ta,
• no positions ta,
• no diploma ta,
• no theology degree ta
• no rated capacities ta,
• no warranties ta
• ---- niining tanan wala TA!

>>verse 17 =

“fell at HIS feet
as a dead man”

• --- effect of seeing HIM

• as HE HIMSELF pictured HIMSELF for us,

• --- with great awe

• (a mixture of veneration, wonder, fearful reverence, dread, and fear);

A STATE OF
HELPLESNESS
& SURRENDER
---  John at that ! ! ! !

• What is it in our individual cases?

• YES, WE ARE WHAT WE ARE

• BEFORE THE CHRIST NOW!

• .... BECAUSE THE LESS WE KNOW THE ASCENDED JESUS

• .... THE CURRENT(!) LORD JESUS THE CHRIST

• WHO IS JUDGING us NOW(!)

• while HE is seated in the right hand

• of authority of The Father,

• .... THE MORE CONFIDENT WE ARE

• OF OUR CLAIM beyond question as THE CHURCH

UNDER the influence
of THESE
CORRUPTED & CORRUPTING
DENOMINATIONS' LEADERS
& THEIR MEMBERS

• who are in unanimity passing themselves

• and bullishly insisting as

• THE LOCAL CHURCHES around us ....

as they are continuing
to insist with us and
do not
want to get corrected
with these judgments
on us all!


>>verse 18 =

“THE LIVING ONE”

• --- (in contrast to the healing JESUS while HE was still on earth repeatedly preached to us,

• but now(!) ---- in heaven currently and more importantly

to be preached gyud unta!)
as THE JUDGING ONE! 

“alive forever more”

• --- no more death for HIM

“keys of (absolute control
or domain over)
DEATH and of Hades”

• ---  If death ITSELF

• and Hades WHERE THE DEAD ARE ALL NOW

• --- are under HIS absolute control,

more so UNTA KITA!
--- HIS BODY

• --- we ought to be UNDER HIS ARTICULATION

• --- because HE is our HEAD

• --- under articulation by HIM in our every part

as HE thinks for us
with HIS brain,

• sees for us with HIS eyes,

• hears for us with HIS ears,

• talks, eats, drinks, even will vomit us with HIS mouth

IF WE DETERMINE
TO ALLOW HIM

• and even realize .... 

• if, we just think deeper:

• HE HAS ALREADY DONE some of these

• WITHOUT OUR REALIZING earlier!!!!

>>verse 19 =

WHAT JOHN SAW >

1.     What was obtaining in THE CHURCH

• in A.D. 96, just 63 years

• after HER founding by JESUS.

2.     What was to take place

• shortly after John as the last apostle died.

3.     What took place since then

• up to our time.

4.     What is obtaining in our time.

• (>>> Revelation 2:18-3:22)

5.     What shall take place shortly

• after this time of ours.

6.     What it will be for the unrighteous

• at the end of time!

7.     What it will be for the chosen

• at the end of time!

>>verse 20 =

John had to be clarified by
JESUS HIMSELF:

• The 7stars are GOD’s complete number of messengers

• DEPENDED UPON for enlightening THE CHURCH

• within THE metamorphosing CHURCH

• that NICOLAITANS have caused them to appear!

THE ALL-GOLD 7-LAMPS ON A COMMON GOLD STAND

• is IN REALITY

• representing THE one CHURCH

• (established by JESUS on Pentecost Day of A.D. 33!)

in HER 7-differing appearances

• as THESE NICOLAITANS have caused

• THE CHURCH to metamorphose ---

• (>>>T#023 --- The Metamorphoses of THE KINGDOM or THE CHURCH)

--- by THEIR stubborn
insistence "THEIRS"
are "churches"

https://umpg.blogspot.com/2012/10/232-t021-right-use-understanding-of.html

• --- unashamed THEY are giving out unquestionably and undeniably man-made and

• be-clouding lights regrettably proven

• INUTILE FOR LIGHTING

• the world’s darkness

• as history has consistently shown!!!!

DESPITE
>>>T#022 CLEARLY

differentiating

THE CHURCH from
the denominations
