        WeeKly BooK oF Revelation

                paraphrased study

[A loud voice from the throne continues] - 4 - He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no longer, nor mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former has passed away.” 5 And he who was seated on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all new.” [All - pas - every, all]. And he said, “Write, for these words are trustworthy and true.” 6 And he said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the one thirsting, I will give from the spring [pégé - fountain, spring, well, issue, flow] of the water of life freely. 7 The one who overcomes will inherit all and I will be his God and he will be my son [hyiós - descendant, “son” equally refers to female believers—Gal 3:28]. (Do you think God cursed wo-man? Or man? He was prophesying.) 8 But (John) as for the cowardly, the faithless, the having become abominable, and murderers, and the sexually immoral, and sorcerers, idolaters, and the liars, their portion [meros - a part, share, portion, a part due or assigned to one, to appoint one his lot, lot, destiny assigned to one] (Imo, part to play, role) is in the lake [limné - a lake, from limen - through the idea of nearness of shore, a pond large or small] burning [kaió - to kindle, burn, set fire to, light, in figurative discourse a light, torch showing the way] with fire and sulfur [theion - neuter of theios - divine, in its original sense of flashing, brimstone, sulphur] which is the second death.”

     9 Then came to me one of the seven angels having the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues [plégé - a blow, stripe, wound; an affliction, plague] and he said to me, “Come, I will show you the Bride, the wife of the Lamb.”

📜🗞️ The revelation vision is told 3 times: 6:1-2 to 11:19; chap.12 w/ Mt.23:39; and 13:1 to 19:11.

Jesus’ brief first advent perfectly fulfilled the ancient Spring Holy Days, more perfectly than is easily seen. So logically his long second advent will fulfill the Autumn Holy Days, their names and pattern:

  TRUMPETS (of Rev, return at 7th during the concurrent bowls) - 10days/1000yrs - to ‘DAY’ oF ATONEMENT - 5days/500yrs - to TABERNACLES — a fiery regenesis, “All new.. God will now tabernacle with mankind” Rev.21:1-5.
