Thanksgiving USA: Tradition vs Bible: Awful Lawful vs Grace Us

What do you know about Thanksgiving USA besides it's traditionally Macy's Day parade, football on helevision, travel home, gluttony? Can you pass a Thanksgiving Quiz? Did you know Macy's Day is the day NBC uses it's real name? External links to historical thanksgiving traditions and a Thanksgiving Quiz are listed below. Our focus herein is get it: understanding, via a biblical look at "thanksgiving" in the Bible, at what it might be in the Book of Revelation.

Sadly the majority of USA has Baby-lon twice fallen for GWB's "America is a nation under law" when the Bible says "ye are not under the law, but under grace"... "if led of the Spirit". In his second coming as POTUS, GWB stated he'd take his rod of iron "rule of law" global. The Bible also speaks to such: "whether prophecies, they shall fail". It seems so awful lawful lately that many now perceive USA is twice fallen Babylon (the great) "is fallen, is fallen" in Isaiah 21:9; Revelation 14:8; Revelation 18:2. We wish them all grace -> mercy -> peace.

Thanksgiving in the Bible

The word "thanksgiving" is used often in the Bible: about 28 times, two of which are pluralized. The last biblical mention of "thanksgiving" is a Revelation Seven, and "thanksgiving" thereof is in the midst of seven things, sandwiched between two Amens in Revelation 7:12:

Saying Amen:

1. Blessing

2. glory

3. wisdom

4. thanksgiving

5. honour

6. power

7. might

unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.

The first "Amen" thereof seems to be unto the opening of six seals. The opening of the sixth thereof is followed by a great earthquake, the sun being sackcloth of hair blackened, moon becoming as blood, stars of heaven falling to earth as if untimely figs cast down by a fig tree shaken of a mighty wind, heaven departing as a scroll rolled together, every mountain and island moved out of their places, kings and all sorts of men of earth (including every bondman and free man) hiding themselves in dens and in rocks of mountains, saying to the mountains and rocks: Fall on us, hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the (slain) Lamb: For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand? ...

... Not a pretty picture, but perhaps a revelatory allegoric picture of what might come upon all if law worketh wrath is not allowed to be dead testator of the New Testament, in order to establish grace, to let grace be of "force" to all (Heb 9), and be merciful to all, thereby peace unto all. Three wishes of Bible Translators were grace mercy peace (not law sacrifice wrath) in their Epistle Dedicatory. Such wished for grace mercy peace by Translators of the Bible is also notably "through Jesus-->Christ", as if going through the cross (to drop off law the enmity). For Christ thereof Jesus Christ, in which that God was in, reconciling the world unto himself, is "the end of the law" (thereby in him there is no sin), bringing an end to law worketh wrath, for law notably had an expiry date. Law was only part one (the child-ish part of child/man) of the two part (old/new testament) shew about a third part of the stars of heaven being drawn away (to plural divided heavens) and then cast down (to earth)... and as if twice fallen as Baby-lon "is fallen is fallen" from heaven (higher than the heavens) to heavens, then from heavens (higher than the earth) to earth, and notably by the tail of a dragon... in "which things are an allegory" (Galatians 4:24), and were written "aforetime" for our "learning" (Rom 15:4).

The blessing, the first of seven things in Revelation 7:12, seems to also be the last of seven things mentioned in Revelation 5:12, and is thereby firstly said with a loud (law) voice by many angels and beasts and elders round about the throne (obviously not a throne of grace), and all "them" numbering ten thousand times ten thousand plus thousands of thousands:

Saying with a loud voice,
Worthy is the Lamb that was slain (sacrificed) to receive:

1. power

2. riches

3. wisdom

4. strength ... (perhaps the strength of sin: which is law, worketh wrath)

5. honour

6. glory

7. blessing ... (perhaps first of blesseds, childish sort of child/man blessed)

And what if the strength mentioned in the midst of such Lamb-ish seven (reportedly to be as one with such Godly seven) is law: the strength of sin: 1Cor 15:56, which is notably a "sting" witch brings forth death (to all) when "it is finished" (John 19... James 1:15). It? What if "it" of "it is finished" be Law: sin & death to all, bondman and free man, wrath thereof law worketh wrath coming upon the unjust and just by a false law God, also has no respect of persons? Let's play what if. What if "it is finished" be the last, the seventh, of seven last utterances?

For if the last of seven things concerning a "slain" Lamb, if such "sacrifice" (even if it's the better of good/better sacrifices), which sacrifice is "of the law" (Heb 10)... if the last of such be also the first of seven things concerning our God, such law blessing, such merciless law, such unpardonable sin, well such could perhaps be the law (imputing sin & death) sort of blessing of twain blesseds, which is a sin conscious blessed requiring a cover up, like a diaper covers up "dung", but which when uncovered as by revelation, such grace + law brings forth life + death, death and hell to pay via such Mosaic law worketh wrath, even great wrath, upon all men, even upon bondman and free man. For Jude 5 makes it no secret both saved + destroyed afterward came upon them saved out of Egypt, the afterward part being law of grace + law.

... perhaps such would be as twice fallen as Babylon "is fallen is fallen" in Revelation; firstly fallen from heaven to heavens (by a bwd right to left menorah seven as Gen 1:1), and then fallen from plural heavens to earth. For heaven is said to be "higher than the heavens", and heavens are said to be "higher than the earth"; And David is not ascended to the heavens (Acts 2:34). But Christ is ascended "higher than the heavens" (Heb 7:26). Babylon the "great" is notably twice fallen bwd to "great" of great<--greater<--greatest; With fwd being return to "greatest" of great->greater->greatest. For only greatest of three things never fails.

Perhaps it's best of all this/that and for all of some/all to "let there be light" (only), understanding (only), let the first of twain "finished"s in a "verily verily" gospel "according" to St John be the "finished" work of His grace and truth: "I will have mercy, and not sacrifice", which meaneth I will have grace, and not law; The "not" part being not then, not now, not ever. For God never desired sacrifice for sin nor ever took pleasure in it. So the first finished work abolishes the second of twain "finished"s, which when "it is finished" is any given place it brings forth death: James 1:15, followed by hell to pay: Revelation 6:8, great wrath upon all men, both bondman and free man. For law = sin by Rom 14:23 and Gal 3:12; And sin(law) when it is finished brings forth death: 1Cor 15:56, the dead end of law: sin & death, via grace + law.

So only pure grace void of law would truly be a Happy Thanksgiving (peace-able ... non-hypocritical as noted about pure wisdom from above in James 3:17). Hence the end of Pauline Epistles (including Revelation) have an alls well that ends well ending, via "his angel" plays the "last trump" it, in a revelatory God shew and final shewdown such as Revelation, where the last "Amen" goes only to his grace, only to that of all this/that, as being what is: best for you all of good better best, and notably because it has no mention of law at all:

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.
