Revelation 20 11 - 21:3

             Paraphrased      

11 - Then I saw a great white throne (GWT) and he who was seated upon it. And from his face the earth and heavens fled away. {Much, much earlier, before doing any act of creation, he could see all possibilities like a floating blanket of clouds stretched out before his face, full circle around him. I saw this in prayer -n- study many years ago, the beginning of insights which came sort of, like “bams!”.} 11- A great white throne (GWT) and he who sits upon it. And from his face, earth and heavens fled away, and no place was found for them. 12 And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne. Books were opened, and another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead [nekros - dead, deceased] were judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done.

     13 The sea gave up the dead who were in it, death and hades [“place of the dead”] {the grave, state of being gone} gave up the dead which were in them and they were judged, each one, according to what they had done. {Same as we were and are judged now. Logic, since “God does the choosing” and not us, and not because we are better, or worse, or any smarter, than any others. It’s just roles to play in this alternate reality from God’s blueprint - “all the world is a stage”.. (Shakespeare) - proving to one and all, and all together at once, that He is Life, there is no choice. It’s his way or no way. The (measuring) rod - oF Iron. Sorry! The Law of Life cannot be broken! And life, creation, humanity hAs to be Perfect, because he is Life, and, “is Perfect” Mt.5:48.} 14 Then Death and Hades were hurled into the lake of fire. [2Pet.3:12-13 “..the heavens will be set on fire and dissolved, the heavenly bodies melting.. (then) a new heavens and a new earth..”] This is the second death, the lake of fire. {The end of death and imperfection/“missing the mark” - One and done! 1Cor.15:24-26. First death is the one come about through, and “in Adam”.} 15 And if [ei - whether, if] anyone was found, whose name {by then} was not written in the book of life, they were thrown [balló - thrown, cast, hurled, put, placed] into the lake of fire. 21:1 - And I saw - a new heavens, and a new earth - for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, [were “set on fire” and “dissolved”, the “heavenly bodies/planets and stars melting”] and the sea {separation upon earth} was no more. (Isaiah 11:7)

     2 And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, radiant as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will tabernacle/tent/dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God.”

7 - And when “the” thousand years are ended, Satan will be released 8 and he will come out to mislead the nations that are at the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog {these are, logically, descendants of mortal survivors of the (man done) apocalypse} and he gathers them for battle. Their number is like the sand at the seashore. 9 And they marched up over all the broad plain of earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city. {Do we imagine this takes but a moment or two..?} But - fire - came from the heavens and consumed them. 10 And the devil who had deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur (second mention of lake of fire) where also the beast and false prophet {were thrown} and (are) tormented day and night - to - the ages of the ages.

Revelation 20 1-6

      By Necessity Slightly 

             Paraphrased      

1 - Then I (John) saw an angel descending from heaven, holding in his hand the key to the abyss and a great chain. 2 And he seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years {God has been permissive?} 3 and threw him into the abyss {imperfection/straying/going rogue is an abyss of potential} and shut it and sealed it over him, so he cannot deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years are over. After that he must be released for a little while. {For the first half of an “8th” millennium.. According to the pattern of the Fall holy days, Leviticus 23.}

     4 Then I saw thrones [thronos - seats of authority]. And given judgment were those seated upon them. Also I saw the souls of those beheaded because of the testimony of Jesus and because of the message of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not taken its mark upon their foreheads or upon their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 5 The rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years are completed. This is the first resurrection. 6 Blessed [makarios - blessed, happy, fortunate] and holy [hagios - holy, sacred, set apart] are those who have a part {& role?} in the first resurrection! Over these the second [second in a series, the second time something occurs] death has no power, but they will be priests [hiereus - minister in a priestly office] {minister what to whom?} of God and of Christ, and they will reign [basileúō - exercise dominion] with him {for/during} the thousand years.

Revelation 19 17-21

 WeeKly BooK oF Revelation

      By Necessity Slightly 

             Paraphrased      

17 - Then I (John) saw an angel, radiant, as though standing in the sun. And with a loud voice he called to the birds of midheaven (to the high flying, predator birds, calling them to armageddon battle; the calling to the birds is metaphor for the literal armageddon battle about to be portrayed) saying, “Come, gather for the great supper of God!” {He actually takes responsibility! Having “subjected and consigned all to disobedience” Romans 11:32. Supersized the option to stray in Eden so “all of heaven and of earth” take this unavoidable journey through this all important contrast, all together at once.} 18 “Come to eat the flesh of kings, of captains, of mighty men, of horses and their riders, and of all, both free and slave, both small and great.” {The final war is totally mankind done. It is the last war between human empires, Isaiah 24:20, Rev.10:4, ten, four, end of the Act, over and out. “All the world is a stage” - Shakespeare.}

     19 And then I saw the beast and the kings of earth, with their armies, gathered to make war against he who was sitting on the (white) horse and against his army of heaven (the two third faithful angels). {Aka against all knowledge of the one true God. Against national Israel and the grafted in, spiritual Israel, which by then includes many of ethnic Israel.} 20 And the {many headed, geopolitical} beast was taken, and with it the {of the world} false prophet who in its presence had done the signs [sémeion - miracles, signs, marks, tokens] {modern wonders and “miracles to mislead”} by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and who worshiped/were in allegiance to its image. [Mark is from the word - charagma- which is a “mark, stamp, sign, engraving, from charassō - meaning to engrave or stamp, the term charagma means a mark or stamp often used to denote ownership or authenticity]. These two were thrown alive {active, as they are not individuals} into the lake of fire {armageddon battle, with global chain reaction} that burns with sulfur {Jude 1:7!} {Both that ‘miracle’ and the “strong delusion” that “seats man/anthropos in the temple as God”/highest power, is from the “false prophet” (Rev.12:15?)

     21 And the rest were slain by the sWord {truth, the iron rod/unbreakable measure} that came from the mouth of he who was sitting on the horse, and all the birds were gorged. {Symbolic imagery, aka, build a house on Truth, it endures. Build using unTruth (or guile) and like being built on sand, there’s crashing and fiery apocalypse. It’s what dog eat dog/every self first, does. There are two things that can simply never (ever) work, (1) straying from God who iS Life - logic, yes? To stray from Life, not good. And he “is perfect, so (2) imperfection, logically, is the opposite of Life. And history has - already - proven that (straying and) imperfect is an “abyss” of potential. And logically is entropy, the “worm that doesn’t quit” and the “fire”/slow burn/slow fade/slow gehenna “that cannot be put out” - entropy does not reverse. But you think we humans are inherently immortal? Death is nothing more than another form of life and living? Well that idea/myth was needed for the - extremely ancient - crowd controlling spiritual propaganda myth of afterlife torment.. We will “put on immortality” at one of TWO vivifications - because - we will “put on perfection/incorruptibility”. Clue, the second vivification is not simultaneous with its partner “resurrection”.}

Revelation 19 9-16

 WeeKly BooK oF Revelation

By Necessity Verses Slightly 

            Paraphrased      

9 - And the angel said to me (disciple John, seeing the vision in his old age while in an island prison) “Write this - Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb!!” {Mt.25:1-13! In the parable of the ten bridesmaids, the door is to serving, called reigning (for logical reason) during the Lord’s long second advent. The door is to the wedding banquet/reception/supper. And the catching away of dead and alive believers - aka the resurrection, called the first (partial collective, eschatological) resurrection, is the wedding, the union.

     “The door” closes to “the” millennium - noT to Life, closed forever. The door is to the wedding supper/banquet/reception and what comes after, up to the second, rest of humanity, eschatological vivification (Rev.21:5, the word “things” was/is inserted). This vivification is not simultaneous with its partner resurrection, but between the second resurrection and the second vivification is the GWT judgment ‘day’. And to “rise into the judgment” (‘day’) Jn.5:29, is to rise “still in ones sins” (not yet perfected). The judgment is the  GWT judgment ‘day’, elsewhere called an aion-ion kolasis (correction, with logical, INITIAL inner torment for some (few? comparatively speaking that is) aka, the condition of misery, being in the inner, outside of the light, darkness ..with gnashing of teeth.. think, for example, of a heartless and cruel despot, rising into the judgment radiance. But Jesus said he “will draw all” - Jn.12:32, so this tormented from within condition will progress to weeping, beating self up.. with many stripes.. And finally to heart and gut wrenching remorse - as he reviews the faces of those he so hurt and harmed, even killed. Think of a modern day child trafficker, where the child goes no one knows.

     But finally, after a while (purgatory flames are psychological) coming to realize ..God, loving Presence/Spirit (Holy Ghost all loving) and mercy.. “Christ Crucified”.. the remedy God instituted, it being strong enough to appease every conscience, even the worst. The initial condition of some is also portrayed in the outside of the vision narrative of Rev.22.}

    And the angel said to me, “These are the true words of God!” 10 And I fell at his feet {overwhelmed?} to worship him, but he said, “Don’t do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brethren who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God, for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit  of prophecy”. {Meaning it’s all worked out? All laid out.. We just need to be told/shown about it ..and follow, aka, conform. ..To our own, individual, highest blueprint. But it is not, as they say ‘all about me’. Not by a longshot, Lol!}

     11 Then I saw heaven opened, and look! There was a white horse! {The gospel, the Truth, which rode forth “openly victorious over powers and principalities”. Led to the Magna Charter, the Constitution.. individual rights and freedom. Nuclear family culture, some stability for a while..}

     And the one sitting upon the white horse is called “Faithful and True”. In righteousness he judges and makes war {rescues, vindicates, works justice}. 12 His eyes are like flames of fire (penetrate) and upon his head are many crowns. He has a name written that no one knows but he himself. 13 He is clothed in a robe that was dipped in blood, and the name by which he is called is The Word/Message of God. {Master blueprint and plan. Embodiment of Truth.} 14 And the armies oF heaven, arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, were following him on white horses. 15 From his mouth comes a sharp sWord (Truth!) with which to strike down the nations, and he will shepherd them (the nations/this is obviously future) with a rod (measuring rod) of iron (i.e. is un-breakable - truth cannot be broken, or done away with). He treads the winepress of the fury [thumos - from thuo - to rush {7 thunders? Well, six..} or to breathe hard] of the wrath [orgé - passion, wrath, indignation, a settled and abiding condition of mind with a view to justice {scales! Cause and effect!} Settled indignation going forth ‘wrath’/consequences] {at cruel and heartless evils, the passion} of God the Almighty. [Isaiah 13:9 - Behold, the day of the LORD comes, cruel, with fury and fierce anger - to make the land a desolation, and to destroy its sinners from off it.] {But as cause and effect. Apocalypse is all man done. Even the final “bowls” called “of God’s wrath” ..The “seven thunders”? Though one is past. Rev.10:4 (over and out, six are future. Didn’t 13:13 pinpoint an oFFice? NoT an individual.. as of yet). Seal six but veiled by its description.} 16 On his robe and upon his thigh he has a name written, “King of kings and Lord of lords!” [Upon his robe - “Inscriptions on the outer garments were sometimes used by distinguished personages. The title anticipates the final victory.. And upon his thigh, upon the humanity he lived” - from biblehub dot com.] {The title and crowns, engraved as in stone, forever, enduring, unchangeable. All of heaven and earth fully convinced. God is Life and he “is Perfect”. Only perfect can work. How do you create genuinely able to think and reason beings, aNd, keep paradise/perfection intact? “Let us” Father and Son “make mankind in our likeness” ..They’re not done yet. “The lion will eat straw like the ox. The bear will graze with the cow” Isaiah 11:7.}

             Paraphrased     

9 - And the kings of earth, who committed sexual immorality {were in bed with ‘her’} and lived in luxury with her, will weep and mourn when they see the smoke of her {$ity Babylon upon the seven continents/hills} burning. 10 They will stand far off, in fear of her torment, and will say, “Alas! Alas! That great city, that mighty city, Babylon! For in one hour your judgment comes.” 

     11 And the merchants of earth will weep and mourn for her. For no one buys their cargo anymore, 12 products of gold, silver, precious stones, pearls, fine linen and silk and scarlet cloths, all fragrant woods, and articles of ivory, and fine wood, bronze, iron and marble, 13 cinnamon, spice, incense, perfumes and ointments, frankincense, wine, oil, fine flour, wheat, cattle and sheep, horses and chariots, slaves, and human souls [psuche - soul, life, self, inner being] {human beings}. 14 “And the ripe fruit of you and the delicacies for which you lusted/longed for have gone from you. All your sumptuous splendors are lost and will not be found again.” [Ripe fruit - opóra - harvest, late summer, autumn.]

     15 The merchants of these things, who grew wealthy from her (the $ity) will stand far off, in fear of her torment, loudly weeping and mourning, 16 “Alas, alas, for the great city that was clothed in fine linen, in purple and scarlet, adorned with gold, with jewels, and with pearls! 17 For in a single hour all that wealth has been laid waste.”

     And all shipmasters and seafaring men/traders, sailors and all whose - trade is on the sea - {in the past much more was done by sea} stood far off 18 and cried out when they saw the smoke of her burning, “What city was like the great city?!” 19 And they threw dust on their heads as they wept and mourned, crying out, “Alas, alas, for the great city - where all who had ships at sea grew rich by her costliness! For in one hour is she has laid waste.

20 Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you saints and apostles and prophets, for God, for you, has given judgment against her!” {As you have done so shall it fall upon you.. reaping what you sow..}

     21 Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, “So will Babylon the great city be thrown down with violence, and will be found no more, 22 and the sound of harpists and musicians, of flute players and trumpeters, will be no longer be heard in you, and no craftsman of any craft will be found - in you - any more, no more sound of the mill, will be heard in you. 23 The light of a lamp will not shine in you any more, and the voice of bridegroom and bride will not be heard in you any more, for her merchants were the great ones of earth, and all nations were deceived by your sorcery [pharmakeia - sorcery, witchcraft, magic, enchantment, spells, deception, corruption, beguilement]. 24 And in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of - all - who have been slain upon earth.” {Empire.}

1 - After this I (John) saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, for the earth was made bright with his glory. 2 And he called out with a mighty voice, “Fallen! Fallen! is Babylon the great! ‘She’ who became a dwelling place for demons! A haunt for every unclean spirit, every unclean bird, for every unclean and detestable beast. {Spirits like, and act like, unclean birds/vultures and detestable beasts.} 3 For all nations have drank the {unclean} wine of the passion [orge - passion, translated often as wrath] {so includes consequences?} of her sexual vices.

     The kings {leaders} of earth {are in bed with} have committed immorality with her. And the merchants of earth have grown rich from the power [dunamis - power, strength, ability, might, miracle, dynamic] of ‘her’ indulgent and wanton/loose living.”

     4 Then I heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, lest you take part in her sins, and thus share in her plagues. 5 For her sins are heaped high as heaven {‘she’ shakes her fist at heaven?} and God has remembered her iniquities [adikéma - wrongdoings, injustices, offenses]. 6 Pay to her as she has paid to others, and repay her double for her deeds, mix a double portion for her in the cup - she - mixed. 7 As she glorified [doxazó - bestowed glory, honored, praised] herself and lived in indulgence and wantoness, so give her its torment and mourning. Because in the heart of herself she says, ‘I am a queen, not a widow, and mourning I shall not see.’ 8 For this reason her plagues [plégé - plagues, wounds, afflictions, blows] will come in a day, death, mourning, famine. And she will be destroyed by fire, for mighty is the LORD God who judges her.” {Only Good and True can stand, and endure.}
