NACC 2013 Revelation 4-5

NACC.2013.Revelation.4-5

  NACC SAYS: Also on Wednesday morning, Randy Harris of Abilene Christian Universit ywill usher us into heaven’s throne room in Revelation 4-5.

This is not required reading: my job is to be a Disciple and post Biblical and Historical References.  Most of the blue links will let you MINE the evidence which is better than getting a vision by mystical means. It will be my growing witness because time is short and the Two Witnesses who have been slain these 2 or three decades: the Prophets and Apostles to replace the "just Jesus" will arise and witness the burning of the Cosmic: the principalities and powers in high places.

The once-Church of Christ colleges have fallen deeply into Ignatian Meditation and other Catholic practices to replace reading of the Biblical text.  This should be troubling to many Independnt Christian Churches.

WHY THE POPE RESIGNED IN A RAPID ALMOST UNHEARD OF MOVEMENT:
CATHOLIC CULTURE:
The daily La Repubblica reported that in their report to the Pope, a commission of 3 cardinals investigating the leaked papal documents had found evidence of a homosexual network within the Vatican, and hinted at the possibility that some Vatican officials were subject to blackmail.

La Repubblica claimed that in a lengthy report on the leaks, the cardinals had alerted the Pontiff to the existence of factions within the Roman Curia, including a powerful faction “united by sexual orientation.” Some members of that bloc, the cardinals reportedly said, may be vulnerable to “external influence” because of their activities. The Italian newspaper said that the report shocked Pope Benedict and contributed to his decision to resign.

Randy Harris in God Work: says, "I am a postmodern, mystic, panentheist. Happily situated in Churches of Christ. And I am going nowhere. You can be a postmodern, mystic, panentheist and be perfectly happy in this tradition" (p. 95).  He enjoys movies about Satan (p. 39). He laughingly tells us he lied (p. 61).

Lipscomb Summer 2008: "The congregational singing was stunning, with all ages joining in a seamless collection of standards and contemporary songs; upbeat and meditative songs with an emphasis on the joy of the Lord.  Randy Harris presented a message encouraging God's people to "party."  (One of his points was how Jesus was the type of person who was invited to parties and people wanted to be around.)

Jesus DRANK: the ENEMIES of Christ said that he DRANK WINE. Jesus said that wisdom is justified by her children.  Little Jesus Meek and MilD said YOU  ARE LIARS.

Randy Harris, Gary Holloway and Rhonda Lowery
Growing Deeper: A look at contemplative Spirituality.

Harris said. ‘This is aimed at students, not the guests.’ ‘I’ve done a number of things related to the topic,’ Harris said. He’s spent time at a Trappist monastery, a Buddhist retreat, a Celtic retreat house and a hermit community for 40 days of silent prayer. ‘We’re in a world where everyone is looking for religious experience,’ Harris said. ‘Monks and hermits are people who seem to know about that – that’s why I’ve gone to check ‘em out.’ . . . Though he studies mysticism, Harris said his education on the subject includes learning through experience. ‘I’ve done a whole lot of reading about it, but you get to a point where you don’t want to read about it,’ Harris said. ‘I’ve really been on a search and kinda decided I would go any place in the world to try and learn from people who know about meditation or contemplative prayer or who were practicing a mystical tradition.’”

"For Fr. Bede, being universal meant to be centered and grounded. He generated this universality of heart through his daily practice of meditation and contemplative prayer, and this opened him ever more to the myths, symbols and teachings of the other great religions of the world."  Man, Monk, Mystic by Pascaline Coff, O.S.B. Speaking of Bede Griffiths

At Lipscomb 2009 Noting the unnatural rush to "Spiritual Formation" as the latest fad articulated by Randy Harris.  This was brought by the Feminist from Fuller and the local Jesuit.

The realization of this may be what is reflected in the current mass abandonment of the exclusiveness of Christianity that is going on among Western Christians now, especially in its academic centers. Why should one insist on the exclusiveness of Christianity if all it is is one more cultural form? But let the reality of Christian spiritual formation come to its fullness, and exclusiveness will take care of itself. If the homosexual, the witch and the warlock, the Buddhist and the Muslim, can truly walk in a holiness and power equal to that of Jesus Christ and devoted followers, there is nothing more to say. But Christ himself, and not Christianity as a form of human culture, is the standard by which 'we' as well as 'they' are to be measured (Acts 17:31). Dallas Willard 

The Jesus Only Movement meets all of the marks of killing the Two Witnesses missed by Kyle Idleman in Revelation 11

God turned Israel (Civil-Military-Clergy) over to worship the STARRY HOST: That was the COSMIC worship now used as the PATTERNISM for Musical Worship Teams with or without instruments. God did not command any of the Monarchy: animal sacrifices began in Babylon as the gods were ritually murdered each year. Of Course the GODS of that COSMIC Gate to Heaven was the KING. He decided that a human scapegoat should be sacrificed (2 Chron 28f). He decided that lambs and goats should replace HUMAN SACRIFICE to Molech.  As soon as Hezekiah died they returned to burning infants to the SOUNDS of wind, string and percussion instruments.

A Church of Christ WILL be built upon the Prophets and Apostles: The prophets defined A Church of Christ both inclusively. Jesus made these prophecies more certain. The Apostles were eye- and ear-witnesses. Jesus was/is The Spirit of Christ, the Word incarnate. If you are a just Jesus person you HAVE murdered the two witnesses.

That says that Randy Harris does not believe and the NACC affirms that a text Jesus read and understood in early school can any longer be UNDERSTOOD by post moderns who believe that the text has been erroded as the Greeks supposed by being shot at by something from the eyes. Humans have EVOLVED and the message no longer means anything. And Heisenburg's Undertainty principle says that if you LOOK at it the truth just flits away. And so goes Ignatian Meditations of the Jesuits as the warrior class of the Catholic church exterminating the heretics.

For those NOT dillusioned by rejecting the Word as the ONLY resource for defining a Christian, they understand that alLevite instrument player who went into the Throne Room which is IN JERUSALEM was to be executed by fellow Levites.  A levite not on duty who went NEAR even the slaughter court when not on rere duty would be killed. The elders FIRED God and demanded a king who employed the Levites under the King and Commanders of the Army. They assuredly could never go into the Throne Room which was IN JERUSALEM. Only a tiny remnant would remain when God purged Jerusalem with the spirit of FIRE and a spirit of JUDGMENT.  Those who were added to the Church by  Christ had their spirits translated into a heavenly kingdom. Jesus said that the kingdom does not come with observations which meant WORSHIP SERVICES. Therefore, any of the remaining clergy who had not fled Jerusalem would have to fall on his face and you cannot PLAY a harp in that position. This is PAST TENSE and we are part of the New Jerusalem were we lowly members can go boldy before the throne of Grace: HOLD THE HARPS like HOLD THE ONIONS.  At a spiritual level holding or having means to "apprehend the Word of God.

Paul wants everyone to pray that  that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.  When everyone is silenced the PURPOSE of the assembly is:
1Timothy 2:4 Who will have all men to be saved,
        and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
If Randy Harris no no longer believes that then minimal ethics would have him stop claiming to be a Bible Teacher.

Sorry, with all of that Centering Prayer and Spiritual formation Randy Harris doesn't get that job of LEAD YOU INTO THE HOLY PLACE.  The meaning of Sorcery or Witchcraft is to see sings or visions or get dissociated and then CLAIM that their imagination was God speaking to them.  This is Centering Prayer, Spiritual Formation of Ignatian Retreats.  You remember that Ignatius founded the Jesuits which are the military arm of the Catholic church. Their task was to convert or execute. Adolph Hitler honored Ignatius and claimed that he was just finishing the job Jesus began by "slaughtering" a million Jews.

The Word or LOGOS is rational and is the opposite of rhetoric, singing, playing or acting which work because the agents know how to fool the foolish.  Hitler knew tha the had to have the GREAT DEMONSTRATION of mass movements were the "human material" got caught up in the witchery and "gambled away their kingdom." These dialectic methods are deliberately practiced is first DISSOCIATING you by proving that you and your church are evil sectarians. Hitler told Goebels that if you tell a lie often enough people will believe it. The witchery falsehood is that Churches of Christ SECTED out of the Christian Church in 1906 when the NACC was did not exist until 1927 through 1971 when the Stone-Campbell Movement began under the ploy of "unity" but pressed all of the "instrument" passages to provoe that God COMMANDED instrumental music in worship.  Maybe He did, but the synagogue then and the Church of Christ goes to A School of Christ where disciples of Christ (Christians) go to hear the Word PREACHED by being READ for comfort and doctrine. That's the one piece pattern since the Lord's Supper is a teaching or showing forth the Death of Jesus. Once you confess that it would be impossible for a Christian to fabricate their own songs an sermons.

Randy missed out on being a MEDIATOR. Sorry bout that.
1Timothy 2:5 For there is one God, [not three]
        and one mediator between God and men,
        the MAN Christ Jesus;
1Timothy 2:6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

God only lets ONE Jesus of Nazareth to be Lord and Christ and WORD.

Acts 2:36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly,
        that God hath made
        that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified,
        both Lord and Christ.
The cross was a STAKE: Louo or the refreshing  COOLS the passion and pride. To RECRUCIFY Christ is to "create the laded burden or mental anxiety of religious ceremonials to which Jesus promises not to come.

Men are to lift holy PALMS rather than ARMS to prevent wrath or orgy to break out.
Since the Word (only) is being PREACHED by being READ it is logical that:
1Timothy 2:11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
History says that only men who are drunk, perverted or just making fun can SING and PLAY at the same time.

The Daughters of Eve will always usurp the role of MEDIATRIX if the males can't keep from waving their arms around:
1Timothy 2:14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.

Eve is mentioned only twice in the New Testament and because Jesus spoke in parables to HIDE the truth from the WISE (sophists=rhetoricians, singers, musicians, actors).  Moses was writing an INVERTED version of Babylon Myths AFTER the nation fell from grace BECAUSE of instrumental idolatry at Mount Sinai.  Therefore, those who mock Paul do not understand that Paul knew all about Eve and scholars know nothing. While not necessarily true, Paul understood that women especially looked to EVE (Zoe, Mary) as THEIR Mediatrix.

The serpents, however, of the magicians-(that is,) the gods of destruction-withstood the power of Moses in Egypt, but the rod of Moses reduced them all to subjection and slew them. This universal serpent is, he says, the wise discourse of Eve. This, he says, is the mystery of Edem, this the river of Edem;
this the mark that was set upon Cain,
that any one who findeth him might not kill him. This, he says, is Cain, [Gen. iv. 15] whose sacrifice [Gen. iv. 5. ] the god of this world did not accept.

Cain is derived from "a musical note" and Jubal handled all of the musical instruments meaning "without authority" because he intended to steal your lambs and sell them back.
SO, WILL RANDY HARRIS PLEASE NOT STAND IN THE HOLY PLACE CLAIMING TO BE GOD.

The THESIS of the heresy of the Musical Worship Team was that they can "lead you into the presence of God." 

NEXT, THEY SAY BECAUSE LOSING THE LOVE FOR THE WORD CAUSES STRONG DILUSIONS ALWAYS MARKED BY LYING WONDERS--all of the hypocritic arts and crafts: rhetoric, singing, playing and acting.

  The NACC back to Babylonn claim is that
       
As we enter this cosmic corporate worship service,
        we will suck in our breath,
        shield our eyes and drop to our knees before a God so glorious

And sing and clap and gyrate and pick and pluck and clang which would get you executed in most pagan temples where only the high priest (alpha male, senior preaching pastor person) could go.

        we can only describe Him with thunder, lightning, rainbows and jewels.
        He is the reason we will be victorious.


ALL OF THESE SOUNDS CREATE TERROR: WHEN YOU  HEAR THESE SOUNDS THEY ARE A SIGN OF JUDGMENT AND YOU WILL SUBMIT.

Rev 8:5 And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.
Rev. 8:10 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven,
       burning as it were a lamp,
       and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;

There joyful bands welcome the god with the cry of reed-pipes, and contend with the bold strength of their limbs. [40] The fortune that is born along with a man decides in every deed.  And you, Euthymenes from Aegina, have twice fallen into the arms of Victory and attained embroidered hymns.

Skotos darkness, gloom of th enether world, blindness,

Pindar, Nemean 7. But it is by your favor that, even so, Sogenes the son of Thearion, distinguished by his excellence, is celebrated in song as glorious among pentathletes. [9] For he lives in a city that loves music, the city of the Aeacidae with their clashing spears; [10] and they very much want to foster a spirit familiar with contests. If someone is successful in his deeds, he casts a cause for sweet thoughts into the streams of the Muses. For those great acts of prowess dwell in deep darkness, if they lack songs, and we know of only one way to hold a mirror up to fine deeds: [15] if, by the grace of Mnemosyne with her splendid headdress, one finds a recompense for toils in glorious song. [17] Skillful men know the wind that will come on the day after tomorrow, and they do not suffer loss through the love of gain. The rich man and the poor man alike travel together to the boundary of death.
       [20] And I expect that the story of Odysseus came to exceed his experiences,
       through the sweet songs of Homer, [22] since there is
       a certain solemnity in his lies and winged artfulness, and
       poetic skill deceives,
seducing us with stories,

A Lifeless Instruments has the same meaning as a Carnal weapon. There can be no doubt that musical weapons attack only the flesh.

but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)

When Israel rose up to PLAY in instrumental idolatry, God turned them over to the COSMIC gods. No, lying wonderers, God did not command sacrifices or burnt offerings and He gave the Levites to execute you if you came NEAR the Throne Room.

But: For I spake NOT unto your fathers, nor commanded them
        in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt,
       concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices: Jeremiah 7:22

But: But this thing commanded I them, saying,
       Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people:
       and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you,
       that it may be well unto you. Jeremiah 7:23

But: But they HEARKENED NOT, nor inclined their ear,
       but walked in the counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart,
       and went backward, and not forward. Jeremiah 7:24
STEPHEN IS GOING TO GET MURDERED FOR REVEALING THE FATAL FALL FROM GRACE BECAUSE OF INSTRUMENTAL WORSHIP AND DENYING THAT GOD COMMANDED THE TEMPLE.

Pind. I. 6 Just as we mix the second bowl of wine when the men's symposium is flourishing, here is the second song of the Muses for Lampon's children and their athletic victories: first in Nemea, Zeus, in your honor they received the choicest of garlands,

Pind. I. 7   In which of the local glories of the past, divinely blessed Thebe, did you most delight your spirit? Was it when you raised to eminence the one seated beside Demeter of the clashing bronze cymbals, flowing-haired [5] Dionysus? Or when you received, as a snow-shower of gold in the middle of the night, the greatest of the gods, when he stood in the doorway of Amphitryon, and then went in to the wife to beget Heracles?

But since ancient grace sleeps, and mortals are forgetful of whatever does not reach the highest bloom of skillful song, joined to glorious streams of words, [20] then begin the victory procession with a sweet-singing hymn for Strepsiades;

According to Stephen, the star image they used in the wilderness was:

Kiyyun (h3594) kee-yoon'; from 3559; prop. a statue, i. e. idol; but used (by euphemism) for some heathen deity (perh. corresp. to Priapus or Baal-peor): - Chiun.

You can believe Blavatsky because she just copied well-known documents.  Josephus also identified the Levites as Brahman because they had been abandoned to return to BEYOND Babylon as worship of the COSMIC DIETIES.

Mystically Vach is masculine and feminine at will, as in the Hebrew Genesis Eve is with Adam. It is through her power that Brahma produced the universe. Blavatsky points out that Brahma produced through Vach in the same way that the incomprehensible assumes a tangible form through speech, words, and numbers (cf SD 1:430).

Vach through her productive powers produced what Pythagoras called the music of the spheres. [Jesus doesn't pray for the world or COSMOS]

The teachings of Pythagoras also speak of the hierarchies of the heavenly host as numbered and expressed in numbers. Vach is equivalent, in some aspects, to Isis, Aditi, mulaprakriti, the waters of space, chaos, and the Qabbalistic Sephirah.

"Whether as Aditi, or the divine Sophia of the Greek Gnostics, she is the mother of the seven sons: the 'Angels of the Face,' of the 'Deep,' or the 'Great Green One' of the 'Book of the Dead' " (SD 1:434).

These feminine logoi are all correlations of light, sound, and ether. In many aspects Vach approaches Kwan-yin, she of the melodious voice.

Lucifer (Latin) Light-bringer [cf Greek Phosphoros; or Eosphoros dawn-bringer]; the planet Venus, the morning star. Lucifer is light bringer to earth, not only physically as the brightest of the planets, but in a mystical sense also. In mysticism he is the chief of those minor powers or logoi who are said to rebel against high heaven and to be cast down to the bottomless pit -- the so-called war in heaven and the fall of the angels.

Sarasvati, the goddess of divine wisdom, is a later form of Vach. The Hebrew Lahgash is nearly identical in meaning with Vach

as the hidden power of the mantras, the divine sound. "But Vach being also spoken of as the daughter of Daksha -- 'the god who lives in all the Kalpas' -- her Mayavic character is thereby shown: during the pralaya she disappears, absorbed in the one, all-devouring Ray" (SD 1:430-1).

Vach is also called Savitri (the generatrix), the mother of the gods and of all living. She is identical in the human range with Eve, who is also called the mother of all living. Ila or Ida is but the second repetition of Vach in a different period of cosmogony. Vach refers to the cosmic and divine theogony, while Ila refers to a later period in the earth's history when the physiological transformation of the sexes took place during the third root-race. In this last sense Vach corresponds with Eve.

Vach is often called Sandhya (twilight), also Satarupa (a hundred forms) to describe the feminine logos unfolded into the ten planes and subplanes of the universe. The cow is a symbol of Vach, for the cow has always been the emblem of the passive generative power of nature.

HEAR this word, ye cows of Bashan, that are in the mountain of Samaria, which oppress the poor, which crush the needy, which say to their masters, Bring, and let us drink. Amos 4:1

The Lord God hath sworn by his holiness, that, lo, the days shall come upon you, that he will take you away with hooks, and your posterity with fishhooks. Amos 4:2

And ye shall go out at the breaches, every cow at that which is before her; and ye shall cast them into the palace, saith the Lord. Amos 4:3

Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols. Amos 5:23

Under "Star Worship" the Jewish Encyclopedia states:

"Star Worship" is perhaps the oldest form of idolatry practiced by the ancients. The observation of the stars in the East very early led the people to regard the planets and the fixed stars as gods. The religion of the ancient Egyptians is known to have consisted preeminently of Sun-worship. Moses sternly warned the Israelites against worshipping the Sun, Moon, stars, and all the hosts of heaven (Deuteronomy 4:19; 17:3). 

The Israelites fell into this kind of idolatry and as early as the time of Amos they had the images of Siccuth and Chium, 'the stars of their god' (Amos 5:26); the latter name is generally supposed to denote the planet Saturn. That the Kingdom of Israel fell earlier than that of Judah is stated (II Kings 17:16) to have been due, among other causes, to its worshipping the host of heaven. 
But the Kingdom of Judah in its later period seems to have outdone the Northern Kingdom [Israel] in star-worship." Of Manasseh it is related that he built altars to all the hosts of heaven in the two courts of the house of YHWY, and it seems it was the practice of even Kings before him to appoint priests who offered sacrifices to the Sun, the Moon, the planets, and all the hosts of heaven. Altars for star-worship were built on the roofs of the houses, and horses and chariots were dedicated to the worship of the Sun. (II Kings 21:5; 23:4-5, 11-12) Star-worship continued in Judah until the 18th year of Josiah's reign (621 B.C.) when the King took measures to abolish all kinds of idolatry. But although star-worship was then abolished as a public cult, it was practiced privately by individuals who worshipped the heavenly bodies, and poured out libations to them on the roofs of their houses (Zephaniah 1:5; Jeremiah 8:2; 19:13)  Jeremiah, who prophesied in the sixth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin (591 B.C.) describes the worship of the Sun as practiced in the court of the Temple (Ezekiel 8:16) and that even after the destruction of the Temple the women insisted on continuing to worship the Queen of Heaven.

"The ancient Hebrews, being nomads like the Arabs, favored the Moon, while the Babylonians, who were an agricultural nation, preferred the Sun. But, as appears from Ezekiel 20:7-8 the Moon-worship of the Israelites, even while they were still in Egypt was combined with Sun-worship."

REVELATION 4

These Scenes are always a PRELUDE to the coming Judgment.  The SOUNDS-LIKE TRUMPETS have already been sounded by mass communication:

Wisd 19.
Wisdom of Solomon

18 - Whether there came a whistling wind, or a melodious sound of birds in wide -
        spreading branches, or the rhythm of
violently rushing water,

19 - or the harsh crash of rocks hurled down,
        or the unseen running of leaping animals, or the sound of the most savage roaring beasts,
        or an
echo thrown back from a hollow of the mountains, it paralyzed them with terror.

20 - For the whole world was illumined with brilliant light, and was engaged in unhindered work,

21 - while over those men alone heavy night was spread, an image of the darkness that was destined to receive them; but still heavier than darkness were they to themselves.

19:13 - The punishments did not come upon the sinners
        without prior signs in the
violence of thunder, [Rev 14]
        for they justly suffered because of their wicked acts;
        for they practiced a more bitter hatred of strangers.

14 - Others had refused to receive strangers when they came to them,
        but these made
slaves of guests who were their benefactors.

15 - And not only so, but punishment of some sort will come upon the former for their hostile reception of the aliens;

16 - but the latter,
        after receiving
them with festal celebrations,
        afflicted
with terrible sufferings those who had already shared the same rights.

17 - They were stricken also with loss of sight - - just as were those at the door of the righteous man - -
        when, surrounded by yawning darkness, each tried to find the way through his own door.

18 - For the elements changed places with one another,
        as on a harp the notes vary the nature of the rhythm,
        while each note remains the same.
        This may be
clearly inferred from the sight of what took place.

THE WARNING SIGNS IN REVELATION AGAINST THE SORCERERS: LUSTED AFTER FRUITS: SPEAKERS, SINGERS, INSTRUMENT PLAYERS
And I heard a voice from heaven
..........like the sound of many waters and
..........like the sound of loud thunder; the voice I heard was
..........like the sound of harpers playing on their harps Revelation 14:2RSV

INSTRUMENTAL NOISE is always the MARK or SOUND of Judgment and NOT Spiritual worship.

Saying [not singing] with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him;
..........for the hour of his judgment is come:
..........and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea,
..........and the fountains of waters. Rev 14:7

Revelation 4:1 After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven:
        and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me;
        which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.

As It Were is a parable to fool the clergy says Jesus. This SOUNDS-LIKE talked and SAID.

Revelation 4:2 And immediately I was in the spirit:
        and, behold, a throne was set in heaven,
        and one sat on the throne.

Revelation 4:3 And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone:
     and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.

Revelation 4:4 And round about the throne were four and twenty seats:
        
and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting,
        clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.

Revelation 4:5 And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices:
        and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne,
        which are the seven Spirits of God.


Isaiah 11:1 And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse,
            and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:
Isaiah 11:2 And the spirit of the
[1] LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit OF [2] wisdom and [3] understanding, the spirit of [4] counsel and [5] might, the spirit of [6] knowledge and of [7] the fear of the LORD;
Isaiah 11:3 And shall make him of  quick understanding in the fear of the LORD:
        and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes,
        neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:
Isaiah 11:4 But with righteousness shall he judge the poor,
        and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth:
        and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth,
        and with the breath [Spirit] of his lips shall he slay the wicked.

THE SOUNDS ARE ALL OF JUDGMENT: NOT WORSHIP. Christ in Isaiah 30 Prophesied about the DEMISE of the Elders and the Scribes and Phariseees which Jesus called HYPOCRITES: In Ezekiel 33 The Spirit OF Christ named self-preachers for PAY, singers and instrument players. This was the Spirit's definition of NOTHING: just nothing.


"This valley was early selected as the seat of the worship of Moloch, where his rites were celebrated by erecting a huge brazen image with a hollow trunk and arms, which was heated, and within which, or on the arms of which, children were placed as a sacrifice to the horrid idol. To drown their cries, drums were beaten, which were called Tophim." (Barnes, Isaiah 33, p. 463).

And his breath [SPIRIT], as rushing water in a valley, reach reach as far as the neck, and be divided, to confound the nations for their vain error; error also shall pursue them and overtake them. Isaiah 30:28 LXX

Must ye always rejoice, and go into my holy places continually, as they that keep a feast? and must ye go with a pipe, as those that rejoice into the mountain of the Lord, to the God of Israel Isaiah 30:29 LXX

and the Lord shall make his glorious voice to be heard and the wrath of his arm, to make a display with wrath and anger and devouring flame: he shall lighten terribly, and his wrath shall be as water and violent hail. Isaiah 30:30 LXX

For by the voice of the Lord the Assyrians shall be overcome, even by the stroke where with he shall smite them. Isaiah 30:31 LXX

And it shall happen to him from every side, that they from whom their hope of assistance was, in which he trusted, themselves shall war against him in turn with drums and with harp. Isaiah 30:32 LXX

For thou shalt be required before thy time: has it been prepared for thee also to reign? nay, God has prepared for thee a deep trench, wood piled fire and much wood: the wrath of the Lord shall be as a trench kindled with sulphur. Isaiah 30:33 LXX

"We may understand a thing as spoken generally, even when it requires a certain special interpretation to be given to it. For some things spoken with a special reference contain in them general truth.

When God admonishes the Isrealites of their duty, or sharply reproves them,
        He has surely a reference
to all men;

when He threatens destruction to Egypt and Ethiopia,
       
He surely pre-condemns every sinning nation, whatever.

If, reasoning from species to genus, every nation that sins against them is an Egypt and Ethiopia; so also, reasoning from genus to species, with reference to the origin of shows, every show is an assembly of the wicked.

Revelation 4:7 And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle.

Revelation 4:8 And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him;
        and they were full of eyes within:
        and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty,
        which was, and is, and is to come.

Revelation 4:9 And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne,
        who liveth for ever and ever,

Revelation 4:10 The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne,
        and worship him that liveth for ever and ever,
        and cast their crowns before the throne, saying,

Revelation 4:11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.

Revelation 5:1 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 5:2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice,
        Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?

Revelation 5:3 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth,
        was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.

         but also for the sins of the whole world.
1John 2:3 And hereby we do know that we know him,

1John 2:4 He that saith, I know him,

Gen. 49:8 Judah, thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise:
        thy hand shall be in the neck of thine enemies;
        thy father’s children shall bow down before thee.
Gen. 49:9 Judah is a lion’s whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up:
        he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion;
        who shall rouse him up?

Gen. 49:10 The sceptre shall not depart from Judah,
        nor a lawgiver from between his feet,
        until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be. [Gentiles]

GEN 49.[10] non auferetur sceptrum de Iuda et dux de femoribus eius donec veniat qui mittendus est et ipse erit expectatio gentium

mitto , mīsi, missum I. inf. pass. mittier, Plaut. Capt. 2, 3, 78), v. a. etym. dub.; cf. Sanscr. math-, to set in motion, to cause to go, let go, send, to send off, despatch, etc. G. To let go, let loose, to quit, release, dismiss: mitte rudentem, sceleste
THIS WAS FULFILLED AT THE FIRST ADVENT

Revelation 5:6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts,
        and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes,
        which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.

Revelation 5:7 And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.

God the Father THOUGHT and breathed forth (spirit) and Jesus as the SON articulated the Word.  Jesus revealed God's Will for us which was well-defined in the Prophets inspired by the Spirit OF Christ and made more certain by Jesus and left for our memory by the Apostles. A Church of Christ is built upon or EDUCATED by the Prophets and Apostles.

Those who become a SON by obedience in baptism receive A holy spirit or A good conscience, consciousness or A CO-PERCEPTION.  Paul in 2 Corinthians 3 identifies THE LORD IS THAT SPIRIT and you will not be able to HEAR or READ the BOOKS until Jesus as The Holy Spirit opens them to the obedient.

Revelation 5:8 And when he had taken the book,
        the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb,
        having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours,
                which are the prayers of saints.

They HOLD the harps and do not PLAY them because anyone but the High Priest who went into the presenceof God was to be executed by the Levite Execution Squad.

Jesus is NOW reigning on His Throne: when the end comes He will RETURN the Throne to the Father.

Revelation 11:15 And the seventh angel sounded;
        and there were great voices in heaven, saying,
        The kingdoms of this world are become the
        kingdoms of our Lord,
                and of his Christ;
                and he shall reign for ever and ever.

Revelation 11:16 And the four and twenty elders,
        which sat before God on their seats,
        fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,
Revelation 11:17 Saying, We give thee thanks,
        O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come;
        because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.

When the Elders and the Beasts finally fall in front of the Lamb, they will NOT play.

Having is HOLDING or apprehending the Voice of God likened to a harp.  Both the Beasts (the musical performers) and the elders who FIRED GOD and demanded a national king so they could worship like the nations WILL BOW flat on their face and NO ONE PLAYS a literal harp

Revelation 5:9 And they sung a new song, saying, Legō speak to the point: never tunefully
        Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof:
        for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred,
        and tongue, and people, and nation;

Revelation 5:10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests:
        and we shall reign on the earth.

Revelation 5:11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;

Revelation 5:12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.

Revelation 5:13 And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.

Revelation 5:14 And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever.
