3:23 Therefor the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken. This verse is self evident, man’s fall from grace. 3:24 So He drove out the man; and He placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life. See. The Stars Also.
4. “The First and the Last” Rev 1:11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book,and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea. This is our Lord Jesus Christ giving instructions to John to write down in a book (Revelation) all he sees. Rev 1:17 And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. And He laid His right hand upon me, saying unto me,Fear not; I am the first and the last. Rev 2:8 And unto the angel of the church in Smyrnawrite; These things sayeth the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive; Rev 22:13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. Never associated with the “church which is His body’’. 5. “ The Prince of the kings of the earth” Rev 1:5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto Him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in His own blood. Never used in connection with “the church’’. 6. “ Who is to come’’ (=The Coming One), sixteen times in the Gospels, Acts, Hebrews 10:37 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.Three times in Revelation and nowhere else. 7. “ The Living One’’ Rev 1:18 I am He that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive forever more, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. A title only found in … Daniel 4:34 And at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted mine eyes unto heaven, and mine understanding returned unto me, and I blessed the most High, and I praised and honoured Him that liveth for ever, whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and His kingdom is from generation to generation. Daniel 12:7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when He held up His right hand and His left hand, and sware by Him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when He shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished. And six times in this book. Thus linking Daniel and Revelation in a very special manner. The “Bride’’ and the “Wife’’ of… Rev 21:9 And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, “Come hither, I will shew thee the bride,the Lamb’s wife. Must not be confused with the “wife’’ of… Rev 19:7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to Him : for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and His wife hath made herself ready. The latter is Israel called out from among the nations for blessing in “the Land’’; the earthly consort of “the Great King’’ Ps 45 (Read all) and; Jer 3:14 Turn, O backsliding children, saith the LORD; for I am married unto you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion: This “wife’’ of Rev 19:7 is connected with the Millenial Jerusalem which, with the rest of the earth “that now’’ it will pass away and give way to the new earth with the new Jerusalem, succeeding and replacing the former. “The bride, the Lamb’s wife’’ of Rev 21:9, is still of israel, but the israel of the “heavenly calling’’ . |
