God is Thought. Thought is the source of all power; only Thought creates. Angels are the fruit of God’s Thoughts; you were originally the fruit of God’s Thoughts, but now you are God’s defiled (lower case) thoughts (fouled fruit). The brightness (Glory) of our revelations (our corrected now Holy Thoughts of God) depends upon the correctness of our doctrines, our building blocks, our Godly Thoughts laid one upon another like the rungs (stairs, revelation upon revelation) of a Jacob’s ladder ascending into the mind of Christ. Angels are the Thoughts of God created as Spirits, communicated as Words. Who was the first sinner? Lucifer-Satan. You and I each are a corrupted thought, a spirit, an estranged alienated separated part of the Holy Spirit, i.e., part of God’s Thoughts, a criminal angel temporarily confined (imprisoned) in a human body. We all are fallen angels, mingled defiled thoughts, thinking spirits independent of God, now members of the (lower case) spirit of God, i.e., alienated, exiled members without holiness. However, a willing few of us are being purged purified and restored, reinstated, repaired (healed) back into Heaven and Full Fellowship (Holiness) with Father God.

 

THE ACTION OF REVELATIONS

(Psa 127:1) A Song of degrees [1] for Solomon. Except the LORD build the house [through revelation laid upon revelations], they labour in vain [2] that build it: except the LORD keep [3] the city, the watchman waketh [sleeps not, stays awake] but in vain [uselessly, pointlessly, hopelessly].

1.    degrees = Heb: elevations, the act (lit. a journey to a higher place, fig. a thought arising); specif. a climatic progression): stairs, steps. [i.e., revelations]

a.     revelation = Dict: 1. A revealing, or disclosing, of something. 2. A striking disclosure, as of something not previously known or realized. 3. Theol, (a) God’s disclosure or manifestation to man of himelf and his will (b) an instance of this.

2.    vain = Heb: desolating; evil (as destructive); literally (ruin) or morally (espec. guile); fig. idolatry (as false), uselessness (deceptive): false, lies, lying, vanity /// a tempest, devestation: wasteness.

3.    keep = Heb: to hedge about (as with thorns), guard; protect, attend to: take heed, look narrowly, preserve, save, watch.

a.     (Phil 1:6) Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ [i.e., the day of His return]:

b.    (Phil 2:13) For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

 

A DESCRIPTION OF REVELATIONS

(Gen 28:10-13) And Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran. And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and he took of the stones of that place, and put them for his pillows [an allusion to the hardness of the thoughts of Jacob’s mind], and lay down in that place to sleep. And he dreamed [Job 33:14-18], and behold [Heb: lo, see] a ladder [Heb: a stair case] set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold [Heb: lo, see] the angels [Heb: to dispatch as deputies; messengers] [i.e., embodied messages, seeds (logos containers) of God’s Thoughts (rhema fruit revelations)] of God ascending and descending on it [i.e., “a climatic progression” on the rungs (steps) of the ladder]. And, behold [Heb: lo, see], the LORD stood above it, and said, I am the LORD God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed; [and exactly who built this ladder and the steps therein?]

 

THE PROCESS OF REVELATIONS

(Mark 4:26-29) And he [Jesus] said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man [“the dust of the ground” Gen 2:7] should cast seed [hear, read the Bible] [1] into the ground [of his mind]; And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring [Gk: sprout: bud] and grow up [ascend], he knoweth not how [“For it is God which worketh in you” Phil 2:13]. For the earth [i.e., the soils of his mind] bringeth forth fruit of herself [derived from the innate blueprint of the tabernacle of God]; first the blade [stem], then the ear [Dict: the grain-bearing spike of a cereal plant, as of corn], after that the full [Gk: covered over] corn [Gk: grain] in the ear [the growth of wheat and corn also exemplifies a rising progression, like a ladder]. But when the fruit is brought forth [to maturity], immediately he putteth in the sickle [separation from this world], because the harvest is come.

1.    (Luke 8:11) Now the parable [of the Sower Soweth the Word] is this: The seed is the word [Gk: logos] of God [i.e., the seed is the covering of God’s Thoughts, i.e., manifested angels].

 

THE MECHANICS OF REVELATIONS

(Isa 28:9-13) Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts [1]. For precept [Heb: command] [a vertical command from God] must be upon precept [Heb: command], precept upon precept; line [Heb: a cord (as connecting)] [a horizontal cord from Godly men] upon line [Heb: a cord (as connecting)], line upon line; here a little, and there a little [i.e., little by little]: For with stammering [Heb: a buffoon /// to speak unintelligibly] lips [Heb: language, words] and another tongue [the tongue of the Lord, i.e., logos, the Bible] [2,3] will he speak to this people. To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they [willfully] would not hear. But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little [i.e., “a net” Matt 13:47,48; Luke 5:4-6; John 21:6,8,11]; that they might go, and fall [Heb: stumble, faint: be decayed, be overthrown, be weak] backward [18x, The Warning, exclusively negative verses] and be broken [Heb: to burst: be destroyed, quenched], and snared [Heb: ensnared: fowler] [trapped, netted], and taken [Heb: to catch (in a net, trap); captured].

1.    (Heb 5:13,14) For every one that useth milk is unskilful [Gk: inexperienced, ignorant] in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe [Gk: not (capable of speaking) speaking, an immature Christian]. But strong meat [and having grown teeth to separate it] belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use [Gk: habit, practice] have their senses [Gk: organs of perception] exercised [Gk: trained] to discern [Gk: to separate thoroughly, discriminate between] both good and evil.

2.    (Isa 32:4) The heart also of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly.

3.    (Isa 33:19) Thou shalt not see a fierce [Heb: bold] people, a people of a deeper speech than thou canst perceive; of a stammering tongue, that thou canst not understand.

 

THE WARNING INHERENT IN THE LATTER DESCRIPTION TO “FALL BACKWARD”

(John 18:1-6) When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where was a garden, into the which he entered, and his disciples. And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples. Judas then, having received a band [Gk: fig. a mass of men, (like a Roman military cohort of 300-600)] of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches [allusions to their blindness] and weapons [an allusion to their evil intent]. Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye? They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them. As soon then as he had said unto them [Who is “them”?], I am he, they went backward [away from Him], and fell to the ground [as did Satan “fall from heaven” Luke 10:18].
