I'n finding "the unveiling of Jesus" is in believing His teachings in action.
I think He keeps the key to His house there all the time. Like my neighbor, "It's on the hook in the shed." That's kinda funny! All anyone has to do to get that key from Him is ask.
No thief could ever take that key from His Masters' Hand.
I now believe The Book Of Revelation (along with all scripture) soeaks to all mankind in a way where everything being said pertains to mankind as mankind believes in his heart about his Creator. Example:
Our Lord invited us to The Marriage Feast, but some of the guests got into a fight with the Groom. The Groom kept insisting fightinh that way wasn't His Will, but they wouldn't hear Him. He never fought back and died. He even forgave them.He knew something was going to happen. Just a shirt while before, His murderers were kabitzen with the gentiles and shortly after they lopped aHis best mans's head off.
I never saw such mercy. Thank God those criminals didn't live in the old days. Undrr the law, Calvary would have looked like the party Baal got invited to only when the guests showed up they got into a fight with Elijah. I know two reliable witnesses who saw the whole thing and Elijah won the fight. Well , actually Elijah prayed to win the fight.
It would truly help if you would give scriptures for what you say so we can go read them for a better discussion.
Before we begin our study in Revelation there is one thing we have to remember that is very important. Revelation was given to John in visions as prophecies that had their beginnings in the Old Testament, being fulfilled in the New Testament and yet much to be fulfilled in future events before the great and terrible day of the Lords return.
Revelations is given to all nations and tongues that live throughout the whole world as in Jew and Gentile. Israel is mainly mentioned, but not all of Israel is Gods chosen people. Those who are washed in the blood of the Lamb are joined as a branch with Israel as God is the root of that branch and those who are sealed by His Holy Spirit are His own who find favor in Him, Romans 11:11-31. This is why our attention needs to be on those things that are happening in Israel especially Jerusalem as being Gods Holy City.
Within Gods final chastisement on man He continues to call them to repentance and one has to take into consideration during the time of the seven trumpets sounding what God pours out that destroys man will be a third part of every nation simultaneously being destroyed unless they repent and turn back to God. This also includes those who call themselves a Christian, but by name only as they have not Gods Holy Spirit dwelling in them and will also be destroyed, Matthew 7:21.
Revelations (the unveiling) was given by Jesus who sent an angel to John on the isle of Patmos while he was a prisoner there for preaching the word of God in Asia. This angel revealed these end time events to John in order to write them down as letters and secretly were sent out to the seven churches in Asia. These individual letters were written in chronological order of events that were carried to the seven Churches in the Roman province of Asia and now revealed to the whole world.
From the very beginning of time starting with Adam man has allowed themselves to lose that Spiritual fellowship with God as Adam did when he fell to temptation through Satan’s deceit. Through the sin of Adams disobedience we have all allowed ourselves to be deceived causing us to fall short of Gods glory and became children of disobedience as we continue to allow Satan to deceive us unaware of his devices. God will chastise his children as a Father that disciplines his children. He only wants the best for them, but many have a rebellious heart that will not heed His warnings and have turned a deaf ear towards Him as they love their own lives unto death and will perish never knowing Gods mercy and grace.
Wars and rumor of wars, nation against nation and kingdoms against kingdoms, famines, pestilences and earthquakes are all results of mans sin as they continue to fall from Gods grace as they become lovers of self, 2 Timothy 3:2-4. The fulfillment of prophecy is in that of Jesus life, death and resurrection that we can reconcile ourselves back to God through His grace before the return of Jesus. Our covenant promise from God is that we will have eternal life with Him, John 10:27, 28, through grace that we can reconcile ourselves back to the Father and live our lives according to His will.
What you are about to read and have revealed to you in these revelations are those things that are yet future compared with that of the past. It has always been kingdom against kingdom and nation against nation. There are only two kingdoms as one is Gods kingdom that is taught in all truths through Gods Holy Spirit and the other a ruling kingdom of Satan who uses a Jezebel spirit that speaks a deceptive word to deceive the nations, Revelation 2:20.
Revelations is full of symbolism that is literal where it needs to be and Spiritual where it needs to define that of the literal. These revelations are given as a warning to those who have yet to accept Jesus as Messiah. Gods chastisements are to draw those back to him in repentance before that door of salvation is closed forever when Jesus returns and Gods true Church is gathered up to be with the Father forever.
The focus in Revelations would seem to center around Israel only and the nations that come against her for this is how John would recognize it to be since all other nations were not yet developed in his time. Revelations is about all of us, Jew and Gentile, past, present and future that by faith keep Gods commandments. We are Gods witnesses that testify of His mercy and grace as we take His word out into the world to those who have ears to hear.
