Revelation Sevens: So Many SevensRevelation is an allegorical Book of Sevens, also having many sevens that aren't obvious;But are relevant for getting it: understanding. Eg: There are seven mentions of "sharp", first and last coming out a mouth as a "twoedged sword", of this allegorical person whose "name" is "called" the "word of God". But "the word of God": grace is "sharper than any twoedged sword": Heb 4:12. Seven Sevens Seven Spirits Seventh of Seven Things |
Revelation Sevens: Chapter 7 of Seven Kinds Of Sevens(1stly Pure) Grace unto you, and (thereby) peace,from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ Getting it: Understanding
Revelation has many sevens, both obvious and hidden. It's a book of sevens, an allegorical book of prophecy x 7, about a seventh day of "darkness and not light" biblically called "the day of the LORD". Such latter end worse case scenario of Revelation prophecy notably takes place on a sabbath, which is evident by the not so obvious seven benedictions therein. It's cleverly Pauline written as a final exam of the Bible, and as a "last day" shewdown of Law -vs- Grace; His Grace being the winner take all of the Human Race in the end thereof, God declared from the beginning, saying let there be light (only, not lights nor light + darkness). Let's briefly begin with the obvious revelation sevens many go on about, then let's go on to the hidden sevens few even know about, and are much more relevant for getting it: understanding. The Obvious Revelation Sevens:
Seven Churches ... Seven
Spirits of God .. . Seven
Golden Candlesticks
...
Seven Stars ... Seven Angels ... Seven Lamps of Fire ... Seven backside Seals ... Seven Horns ... Seven Eyes ... Seven Trumpets ... Seven Thunders ... Seven Heads ... Seven Crowns ... Seven Last Plagues ... Seven Golden Vials ... Seven Mountains ... Seven Kings ... The Seven Seven Churches: which are in Asia (map), and which John did write unto with leavened grace (Revelation 1:4), are listed in an order which puts one like the Son of man in Thyatira: in the "midst" of "the seven churches are seven candlesticks" (photo), a menorah seven. Thyatira is associated with Lydia (Acts 16), and with mingled people falling by the sword (Ezekiel 30), as Lydians handle bend the bow (Jeremiah 46). One like Son of man in the midst(Thyatira) of seven candlestick churches also notably calls himself the Son of God when writing unto the angel of the church in Thyatira (Revelation 2:18-29); A Son with flaming eyes of vengeance and brass feet. So then Son of awful lawful God on high rather than the Son of God in heaven: "higher than the heavens" where it's grace us and not vengeful. What's even more revealing is "the angel of the church in Thyatira" is "Gaius", when looking at the seven angels listed in Acts and noting who's in the "midst" of seven. Interesting thing is, John writes unto Gaius in 3John, with flattery (to corrupt) and speaks against Paul by praising what Demetrius said in Acts 19. One letter killeth to seven angels of seven churches
of Asia(Galatia: Rev's
of Rev #15 )
Comment: In Paul's "epistle"
written "unto the
churches" (Galatians) Paul
The Apostle counters what John
said in his "letter killeth"(2Cor 3) to the "churches" (in Asia). In
the Pauline
Epistles,
Ephesians(Ephesus)
is in the midst of seven: Rom
- Cor - Gal - Eph - Phil - Col
- Thess; Perhaps as if a
central
light to enlighten six others. But with
John's seven churches
the midst of seven is Thyatira and the angel of the church in Thyatira
(Gaius) is first to be
suckered into striving
for what he already had, salvation by grace. A
little leaven
leavens the whole lump; So in bewitching Gaius in 3John,
John essentially "bewitched"
all seven churches
(Galatians 3). It sorely depressed Timothy,
but Timothy
recovered (Hebrews 13: Timothy is "set at liberty"). But even today
there
are no
churches
to be found in Asia(Galatia), which is now Turkey. When all is said and done, there's one church. For Paul speaks of "Christ and the church" as the Head(Christ) the
Body(of Christ) which carries out what the Head authored:
eternal salvation,
eternal life thereof, as being saved(only) by grace(only) and fully aware what from.
Seven
Churches (listed in Revelation) Seven Angels (hidden in Acts)
1. Ephesus 1. Sopater(a Berean) 2. Smyrna 2. Aristarchus(a Thessalonian) 3. Pergamos 3. Secundis(a Thessalonian) 4. Thyatira: midst of seven 4. Gaius(of Derbe): midst of seven 5. Sardis 5. Timotheus(of Derbe) 6. Philadelphia 6. Tychius(of Asia) 7. Laodecia 7. Trophimus(of Asia) Seven Spirits: of God (on high) in Revelation are allegorically the seven in Isaiah 11, which notably begin (first) and end (last) with fear (hath torment), of the LORD. God is "a Spirit" (not seven spirits). Ye are not under the law, but under grace if led of "the Spirit". "The Spirit" of grace is "the Spirit" of truth is "the Spirit" of unity. Seven spirits speak of a latter end "worse" of man: "seven other spirits more wicked" (Matthew 12:45; Luke 11:26), and again in Matthew 23: 15 "one proselyte: twofold: more the child of hell", law imputes sin for the hell of it, not knowing law imputed sin, when it is finished, brings for the death. Hence, seven spirits in Revelation denotes it's a worse case scenario of man told: "sin(law) no more" in John 5. So the man John gets revelationed(uncovered) by Paul, as the author of Revelation who sign-ifies it with his token, and by his own hand at the end, as if playing the "last trump" it of pure grace. Seven Seals: are notably on the "backside". So unsealing such backside law is allegorically as unsealing "dung" (Philippians 3:8); which ought to be flushed(abolished), not handled nor spoken. Law and Odor: Pew, it's the Smell of Death, of the Dead Testator of the NT. The Hidden Revelation Sevens1. Revelation 1:3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep thosethings which are written therein: for the time is at hand. 2. Revelation 14:13 Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them. 3. Revelation 16:15 Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. 4. Revelation 19:9 Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. 5. Revelation 20:6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. 6. Revelation 22:7 Blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book. 7. Revelation 22: 14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. As explained in the revelation of Two Blesseds at TwainShew, a law benediction also has a curse hidden within it somewhere, as a little leaven witch leavens the whole lump, kinda like the Lord's Prayer does, with a PS that clarifies it's as a snare all when praying like John. Nevertheless, even in the worse case scenario, you are blessed only. Yet blessed with law imputed sin (consciousness), then a cover up of such with a bloody sacrifice, results in a dead end (snare of the devil, sting of sin, witch law is the strength of) when uncovered (revelationed); Which is why our Lord J-->C abolished the law of commandments; thereby taking away law imputed sin and death, also any need to cover up such law imputed sin with any bloody sacrifice, which God will not have. For where no law, there is no transgression (Romans 4). He taketh away the first that he may establish the second (Hebrews 10). Such does not refer to the law law of Romans 8:2; but rather to taking away law to establish grace. Seven Mentions of "sharp" denote it is NOT
the "sharper" word of God:
1. Revelation 1:16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of
his mouth went a sharptwoedged sword: and his countenance [was] as the sun shineth in his strength. 2. Revelation 2:12 And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges; 3. Revelation 14:14 And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud [one] sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle. 4. Revelation 14:17 And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle. 5. Revelation 14:18a And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, 6. Revelation 14:18b saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe. 7. Revelation 19:15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. What comes out of the mouth of such an allegorical person "like unto the Son of man" (Daniel, Jesus, and John qualify, and notably such like "should repent": Numbers 23:19); And especially first and last, is notably "sharp": a "sharp sword" (is not peace: Matthew 10:34), a "sharp twoedged sword": Law Law: which kills both ways of OT Law and NT Law. By such "sharp" law law this allegorical person would notably smite the (plural) nations and rule "them" with "rod of iron" style of 'rule of law': the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God(Law). GWB? These
things come to mind when "led of the Spirit"
- Of seven things "the word of God is" in Hebrews 4:12, one thing
clarified therein is it's "sharper
than any twoedged sword", which is to allegory say Grace is smarter than both Matthew 22 and
Romans 8 Law Law; For such divisional
Law vs Law is divided
against itself: and any person, house, or kingdom divided against
itself shall fall to desolation(ruin,
perdition).(ye are not under the law, but under grace, if "led of the Spirit"): - All they that take the sword shall perish with the sword: Matthew 26:52. Eg: James in Acts. - God hath not appointed "us" unto wrath: 1Thessalonians 5:9; Rather it's "them" who say Peace and Safety in their Law Law who reap sudden destruction of the "no escape" sort upon themselves for saying such Law Law: 1Thessalonians 5:3. - Rod of iron style of rule of law is Destructive, not Constructive; Prophecy, not Prophesy. To Prophesy unto men is to edify and exhort men unto comfort(only), not to dis-comfort nor both comfort and discomfort of law is "both good and evil". seven angels of seven churches are mentioned in Acts 20:4 (these seven named accompanied Paul into Asia to establish seven churches)
1.
Sopater (of Berea)
2. Aristarchus (of Thessalonia) 3. Secundis (of Thessalonia) 4. Gaius (of Derbe) - Midst 5. Timotheus (of Derbe) 6. Tychius (of Asia) 7. Trophimus (of Asia) These seven things saith the
allegorical person of Revelation 2 & 3
1. he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who
walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks (Revelation 2:1)2. the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive (Revelation 2:8) 3. he which hath the sharp sword with two edges (Revelation 2:12) 4. the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet like fine brass (Revelation 2:18) 5. he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars (Revelation 3:1) 6. he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth and no man shutteth; and shutteth and no man openeth (Revelation 3:7) 7. the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God (Revelation 3:14) Comment: openeth and shutteth are contrary things, as are first + last Adams. With one the door is open, to come and go; but with twain it's either shut (no enter) or a trap door (snare). Revelation: is a book of "prophecy",
mentioned 'seven times',
1. Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the
words of this prophecy
(Revelation 1:3)because such johnny law crap is notably from "seven spirits"; this prophecy the first and last times of seven times mentioned: (Nevertheless, being written by Paul, it ends well, with "prophesy") 2. These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy (Revelation 11:6) 3. the testimony of "Jesus"(born under the law) is the spirit of prophecy (Revelation 19:10) 4. blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book (Revelation 22:7) 5. Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book (Revelation 22:10) 6. I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book (Revelation 22:18) 7. if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy , God shall take away his part out of the book of life (Revelation 22:19) Comment: thank God the sayings not sealed, and testimony of J is the "spirit" of prophecy. the time is at hand: right hand mentioned seven times: 2. And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: (Revelation 1:17) 3. The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. (Revelation 1:20) 4. Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks; (Revelation 2:1) 5. And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals. (Revelation 5:1) 6. And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne. (Revelation 5:7) 7. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: (Revelation 13:16) Comment: a revelatory discussion of such things takes place in Revelations of Revelation # 21 Seven things are opened in Revelation: 2. The seals of the book are opened (Revelation 6: 1-8) 3. The abyss is opened (Revelation 9:2) 4. The temple is opened (Revelation 11: 19) 5. The tabernacle of testimony is opened (Revelation 15:5) 6. The heaven is opened (Revelation 19:11) 7. The book s are opened (Revelation 20:12) Seven types of men hide themselves in
Revelation 6:
Comment: these obviously perceive johnny law enthroned instead of his grace as they are hiding from "wrath". Law "worketh wrath" (Romans 4), whereas God & Son are merciful . Sevenfold worthiness of
Lamb (Revelation 5:12) to receive:
Sevenfold worship unto our God
(Revelation 7:12)
Comment: blessing seems to end the seven in Revelation 5:12 and begin the seven in Revelation 7:12, which is sandwiched between two Amen's to this & that as if before & after. Bottomless Pit is mentioned seven times
from Rev 9 -20
1.And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from
heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. (Rev 9:1)2.And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.(Rev 9:2) 3.And they had a king over them, [which is] the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue [is] Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath [his] name Apollyon. (Rev 9:11) 4.And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them. (Rev 11:7) 5.The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. (Rev 17:8) 6.And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.(Rev 20:1) 7. And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season. (Rev 20:3) Note: such a Revelation seven seems to also be a Menorah seven whereby the seventh speaks of both grace (shut up the devil) + law (release the devil) because the center lamp position has two witnesses whose joint grace + law testimony is notably followed by the death of both for being so law law. In
Conclusion: Seven "deadly" sins are:
For only what's added can be taken away. So let us not miss the Mark, especially Mark 3:27, about law. Revelation:
of John 1:17 ... Hebrews 10:9
Law was (1st) given by Moses... as if a lie Grace (2nd) came by Jesus Christ... as truth "He taketh away the (faulty fault finding) first, so that he may establish the (perfect) second" Revelation: of John 8:32 ... 1Peter 5:10 (imperfect)"ye" be-comes (perfected)"you" what's "created" imperfect is "made" perfect and "made" perfect by "the God of all grace" In a non optional John 8:32 and 1Peter 5:10 Sow the "you all" in the end is "firstly pure"! The grace of our
Lord Jesus Christ with you all.
Amen.
