Revelation 5 1-6

 BooK of Revelation

                a paraphrased study

1 - Then I (John) saw in the right hand of he who was seated on the throne, a scroll written within and on the back. And it was sealed with seven seals.

     2 And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll?! And to break its seals?” 3 And no one in heaven or upon earth or under earth was able to open the scroll or to look into it. 4 And I began to weep loudly because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or to look into it. 5 But one of the elders said to me, “Weep no more. Look! The Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered. He can open the scroll and its seven seals.” {Secrets, keys(?) to the vision and Truth about to be unveiled..} [Root - rhiza - metaphorically/spiritually - cause, origin, source (of shepherd turned king, David {and of all}).]

     6 And then, with the throne and the four living creatures, and among the elders, I saw a Lamb standing, as though slain. It had seven horns and seven eyes, which is the sevenfold {perfect} spirit oF God *sent* into all the earth. {The pure, uncontaminated Holy Ghost/Presence/Spirit oF God the Father. The Son is the proto/first, the onLy straight out from God one. So close both Father and Son administer God’s Spirit/Presence. The same as will saturate, thus “seal” humanity and all creation.. “The lion will eat straw like the ox, the bear will graze with the cow” Isaiah 11:7. {But first Is.24:20/Rev.10:4 followed by Jesus’ long second advent, theN the (fiery) “palin/again-genesis” when God says “behold! I make all (pas - all) new!” and God “will now *Tabernacle* with mankind..” {Note: there is narrative in Rev.22 that is spoken outside of the vision. And had mankind not become carnivore they would have become prey? Straying/imPerfection/entropy (the worm and slow gehenna fire that “does not quit”) is a potential abyss of possibilities.}

Revelation 4 1-7

 BooK of Revelation

                a paraphrased study        

1 - After this I looked, and behold, a door open in heaven! And the first voice [greek phóné] which I had heard earlier speaking to me like a trumpet, said, “Come up here (John) and I will show you what will [dei - necessarily inevitably] happen.” 2 At once I was in the Spirit, and behold, a throne stood in heaven, with one seated upon the throne. 3 And he who sat there was in radiance like fiery gems, and around the throne was a rainbow with the appearance of an emerald. 4 Around the throne [thronos - throne. seat] were twenty-four thrones [thronos] and seated upon them were twenty-four elders, clothed in white garments, with golden crowns on their heads. {Crowns of Life? Gold represents God’s Spirit/Presence.} 5 From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings and peals of thunder. And before the throne were seven [hepta] torches of fire burning brightly, which is the sevenfold (full, complete) spirit of God. 6 And before the throne there was as it were a sea of glass, like crystal. {We shall all be pure as crystal. Truly. ..Life as we presently know it, is an unavoidable, but all important contrast.} [Seven - the Hebrew/Old Testament word for seven is shaba - which is from a root word that means to swear or take an oath, and is often associated with the number seven, indicating the completeness or binding nature of an oath {! Isaiah 45:23 - “I have sworn [shaba - to seven oneself, swear on oath] by my own name” (there being none higher) “I have spoken the truth, and I will never go back on my word, every knee will bend to me, and every tongue will declare - allegiance - to me.” Romans 3:4 - “If every person be false, yet God is true! As it’s written, "That You (God) may be justified in Your words, and will prevail in Your being judged." Part of that “8th ‘day’” (millennium, Rev.20.)

     And in the midst of, and all around the throne, on each side of the throne, were four large living creatures, full of eyes in front and behind. 7 The first living creature was like a lion, the second like an ox, the third with the face of a man, and the fourth was like an eagle in flight. {Creation! ..It’s not so much an issue of what God, wonderful God, hAs created, but what he iS creating. Just HOW do you create genuinely able to think and reason beings, aNd, keep paradise/perfection intact? He iS life, so lives through all that ever occurs and endowed thinking/reasoning/logos to mankind and angelkind anyway!}
