Revelation
prophecy has
many sevens, both obvious sevens and hidden
sevens. This prophecy book of sevens,
an allegorical book of prophecy x 7, is about a
seventh
day of unrest,
which is a Black
Sabbath of "darkness
and not light"
called "the
day of the
LORD (LAW)" in Amos 5:18.
Woe unto you that desire the day of the
LORD!
to
what end
[is] it for you (pst: see Galatians 5:4)?
the
day of the LORD [is] darkness, and not light.
Allegoric Moral of Amos
5:18:
If you desire the day of LAW, Stop it!
(VENGEANCE is MINE, saith the LAW
to the Law)
(Hear what the UNJUST
JUDGE saith: Lk 18:6...Gal 4:21)
Law takes vengeance
on them who
ask to be avenged.
"Law worketh Wrath" is a
Thief: It Steals, Kills
and Destroys.
"God (Grace) hath not appointed us to wrath (law)":
1Thess 5:9.
Such LAW<--Law
is a latter
end worse case scenario of
Revelation prophecy that 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; Grace being winner take all of the Human Race by being
1st finished: John 17, not 2nd finished: John 19; For law imputed sin,
when "it is finished", brings forth death, not life. So the
end that God declared from the beginning, by saying let there be light
(not lights, nor light + darkness) is light. Begin: Let there be light
(grace). End: there was light (only). From the get go
in Genesis 1, God saw only "good" x7, "very good" the 7th time; Never
good and evil (law is both good and evil).
So God is only grace, not grace and law; Which is the point of the
before/after God Shew.
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 Allegorical Revelation Sevens
Seven

seven
churches which are in Asia had

(stars) who accompanied
Paul
into Asia:

which God has seven
other spirits more
wicked, or
another law
having seven other names?

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:
Revelations
of Revelation #15 )
Seven
Churches (listed in Revelation 1:11)
Seven Angels (hidden in Acts 20:4)
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. Tychicus (of Asia)
7.
Laodicea
7. Trophimus
(an Ephesian, of Asia)
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 en
lighten 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 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 (LAW).
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 cannot lie is also "the Spirit" of
truth cannot die is also "the
Spirit" of unity does not bring division or confusion, but peace void
of division and confusion. Seven spirits speak of a latter state
of man worse, a latter end of man "worse": "seven other spirits
more wicked" (Matthew 12:45; Luke 11:26),
and again in Matthew 23: 15 "one proselyte: twofold: is more the child of
hell": worse: law imputes sin for the hell of it, not knowing law
imputed sin,
when "it is finished", brings for the death, not life, and to all, not
some, by the curse of the law. 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 Sevens
1. Revelation 1:3
Blessed is he that readeth, and
they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those
things 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
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
sharp
twoedged 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).
These
things come to mind when "led of the Spirit"
(ye are not under the law, but under grace, if "led of the
Spirit"):
- Of seven things "the word of God is" in Hebrews 4:12, one thing
clarified therein is the word of God is "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, law).
- 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, and
notably them
who reap sudden destruction of the "not 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 unto
dis-comfort nor
unto both
comfort and discomfort of law is "both good and evil", and ends badly,
with evil.
seven
angels of seven churches are named in Acts 20:4
(these seven accompanied Paul into Asia to
establish churches in Asia)
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 describe the
allegorical priest 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 (snares victims).
1. Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the
words of
this prophecy
(Revelation 1:3)
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 are not sealed, and testimony of
Jesus
is the "spirit" of prophecy.
the time is
at hand: right
hand mentioned seven times:
1. And he had in his right hand seven stars:
and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance
[was] as the sun shineth in his strength (Revelation
1:16)
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:
1. A door opened in heaven (Revelation 4:1)
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:
- kings of the earth
- great men
- rich men
- chief captains
- mighty men
- every bondman
- every freeman
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 .
Revelation 5:12
Sevenfold worthiness of
Lamb to receive:
- power
- riches
- wisdom
- strength
- honour
- glory
- blessing
Revelation 7:12
Sevenfold worship unto our God
- blessing
- glory
- wisdom
- thanksgiving
- honour
- power
- might
Comment: blessing seems to end the seven things in Revelation 5:12 and
begin the seven things in Revelation 7:12, which is sandwiched between
two
Amen's
to this and that as if before and 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.
(Revelation 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.(Revelation 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. (Revelation 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.
(Revelation 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.
(Revelation 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.(Revelation 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.
(Revelation 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:
- Law - only law defines anything as sin, anyone as
sinner
- Law - root source of all sin imputation: Romans
4:15; 5:13
- Law - is not
of faith, therefore it is sin: Rom 14:23 => Gal 3;12
- Law
Law - of Rom 8 produces sin consciousness: Heb 10, which then
produces death: Jam 1
- Law - the root source of infirmities, eventually the
worst sort: not suffered to continue: Heb 7:23
- Law - the "strength" of sin which notably has a
deadly "sting": 1Cor 15:56
- Law - "strong man" in hse of sin (hse of Moses) to
bind, in order to spoil hse of sin:
Mk 3:27
Law: got
"added" to "my grace
is sufficient for thee" (no law req'd), it's also "taken away": Heb
10:9.
For only what's added can be taken away. So let us not miss the Mark,
especially Mark 3:27, about law.
Only what began can end. Law began, twice, first as fear (hath
torment), then as the beginning of sorrows.
Eternal Grace (perfect love void of fear, true peace void of torment)
has neither beginning nor end.
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"!
