Revelation 1:9-16 ~ His Face was like the sun shining in full strength

Revelation 1:9-16

9 I, John, your brother and partner in the tribulation and the kingdom and the patient endurance that are in Jesus, was on the island called Patmos on account of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus. 10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet 11 saying, “Write what you see in a book and send it to the seven churches, to Ephesus and to Smyrna and to Pergamum and to Thyatira and to Sardis and to Philadelphia and to Laodicea.”

12 Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking to me, and on turning I saw seven golden lampstands, 13 and in the midst of the lampstands one like a son of man, clothed with a long robe and with a golden sash around his chest. 

14 The hairs of his head were white, like white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire, 15 his feet were like burnished bronze, refined in a furnace, and his voice was like the roar of many waters. 16 In his right hand he held seven stars, from his mouth came a sharp two-edged sword, and his face was like the sun shining in full strength.




Today I was reading 2 Thessalonians 2 and Isaiah 5 about the Righteousness and Holiness of God. And people just don't live up to the Goodness God is. As I read,  I was comforted not to be the one God would take wrath with - because of the Light of Jesus Christ.

The Blessing of God is those who ask for God's Help and seek God; we find God. Jesus saves us from the Righteous Wrath of God.

We live in a time where we do not hear jokes about Joe Kennedy buying Jack Kennedy's Presidential Win. We live in a time, again, when the Presidency is accused of sin with women. In my lifetime - this has affected four Presidencies. We've been told in this investigation - collusion with Russia for voting. What would this look like to have 325 million citizens have a manual voting system tampered with manually? I think it sounds unlikely.


Animal Farm.
The whole basis is control. Put the people in fear and control them.

Leon Trotsky, Russian, had a specific, unique take on permanent revolution. Leadership of the Left = sow confusion and sow demoralization by using and sowing corrupt morality. When I have talked to people living in large USA cities - very few of them have met crossdressers and transvestites. In my life, I've seen maybe less than a dozen. I've spoken to people who say they've seen maybe two transvestites. I'm not confused. This is a very low number of actual people issue. I'm not confused 2% of the population is homosexual. And Hollywood puts a 2% issue in a lot of entertainment.

Boston recently had 250,000 people gather to say racism is wrong. Martin Luther King's Dream is alive.

Homosexuals. I grew up next door to two men - one was friendly, the other literally growled at my brother and me. Every time. We have gay family. We love them. And sometimes things could be very awkward and uncomfortable - at times. I am not for embracing the new idea there is ONE OPINION. The truth is dictating morals is Fascism. Fascism. Fascism.

Heisman Trophy Winner Kyler Murray is Homophobic because Tweets he sent as a 14-Year-Old. Please tell me - you find this unlikely. And ridiculous.

Recently, we all went to see the movie, "The Green Book."
Racism and Homosexuality.
Conforming to moral standards by use of very, very harsh rudeness.
It was a very, very good movie about overcoming society demands for rudeness. Excellent.

Fortunately, I'm too young to remember this era of hatred. Uplifted - I believe God's Word. Jesus Christ was polite to the woman at the well for Sexual Sins. Polite and Caring to the woman caught in Adultery. I was raised to be polite to people of all races, ages, nations and sexual orientations.

Jesus dealt with Samaritans who were second class. His Disciples said Bring Down Fire. Jesus certainly did not. Jesus is that First Class.

Jesus dealt with the odd society of the Syrian Phoenicians as the mother begged for her child. The woman knew in all circumstances of life - to Look to the Light of the World. God rewarded her to look to Jesus. When we look to the Light of the world - Jesus Christ our God - we find comfort, we are taught how to deal and cope. We look to the future with Hope. We are given gracious courage.

God says every single one of us who hold belief will be persecuted. And Jesus said we will, all people - all - know trouble in this world.

When Zechariah was mute, his own people unfairly treated him mistakenly as if he was deaf. Zechariah did not waste his time fighting details. Zechariah did not waste time on his rights. Zechariah didn't sign up with a Union saying be nice to the deaf. Zechariah did not sign up with a Union suppressing Angelic Visits. Even if Unions get you work.

Zechariah has something to say - for all people. The People Jesus Loves. All People.

Luke 1

And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying:

“Blessed be the Lord God of Israel

For He has visited us 

and accomplished redemption 

for His people

And has raised up a horn of salvation for us

In the house of David His servant—

As He spoke by the mouth of His holy prophets from of old—

Salvation from our enemies,

And from the hand of all who hate us

To show mercy toward our fathers,

And to remember His holy covenant,

The oath which He swore to Abraham our father,

To grant us that we, being rescued from the hand of our enemies,

Might serve Him without fear,

In holiness and righteousness before Him all our days.

“And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Most High;

For you will go on before the Lord to prepare His ways;

To give to His people the knowledge of salvation

By the forgiveness of their sins

Because of the tender mercy of our God,

With which the Sunrise from on high will visit us

To shine upon those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death

To guide our feet into the way of peace.”
