Summarizing

The idea is that Matthew and revelation can be matched up sequentially by contiguous sections of text. Matthew 1 through 25 matches up with Revelation 1 through 22. There's one small place in Matthew that does not match anything in Revelation, see if you can find it.

In some places whole chapters match up nicely for instance Matthew 10 and Revelation 7, but this is the exception rather than the rule. It would be nice if chapter 1 matched chapter 1 and 2 matched 2 and so forth, but they don't.

You can read these blog entries to piece it together or figure it out for yourself, you decide.

The two blogs cover the same subject matter but in different ways.

David

Matthew 22 [41] While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,
[42] Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The Son of David.
[43] He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying,
[44] The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?
[45] If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?
[46] And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.

Revelation 22 [16] I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.

To the higher critics

Criticize this:

Matthew 21

[12] And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,
[13] And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.

Revelation 19

[21] And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.
Rev.20
[1] And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
[2] And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
[3] And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.

The end

The end is near !
My God people, wake up !

Jesus' 7th warning

Matt.17

[1] And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,
[2] And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.
[3] And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him.
[4] Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
[5] While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.
[6] And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.
[7] And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid.
[8] And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only.

Rev.16

[17] And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.
[18] And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.
[19] And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
[20] And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.
[21] And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.

Jesus' sixth warning

Matt.16

[28] Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

---

Rev.16

[12] And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.
[13] And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
[14] For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
[15] Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
[16] And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.

Jesus' fifth warning

Matt.16

[27] For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.

Rev.16

[10] And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain,
[11] And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.

Jesus' fourth warning

Matt.16

[26] For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

Rev.16

[8] And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.

[9] And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.

Jesus' third warning

Matt.16

[25] For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.

Rev.16

[4] And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood.
[5] And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus.
[6] For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.
[7] And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.


.

Jesus' second warning

Matt.16

[24] Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

Rev.16

[3] And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.


.

Jesus' first warning and first vial poured out

Matt.16

[23] But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.

Rev.16

[2] And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.

In loving memory

Don't take it personally

Matt.22

[35] Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,

Rev.22

[15] For without are ..., and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

Alternating pattern

Matt.13

[10] And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?
[11] He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
[12] For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.
[13] Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
[14] And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:
[15] For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
[16] But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.
[17] For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.

Rev.13

[10] He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

It's a sign !

Matt.16

[1] The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven.

Rev.15

[1] And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God.

Some deep spiritual meaning

So I just had a dream. In the dream they were wanting me to fly into outer space with two different types of gigantic taco chips. Regular yellow chips or those Deep Blue Chips. The chips were both triangular and approximately 1 foot across on a side. They both came in wax paper bags. I remember that they both tasted the same. It was a very big deal for some reason people from all over the world we're weighing in on the matter. Which ones were better the blue ones or the yellow ones. For some reason the chips are being housed at this house that had a somewhat Spanish accent to it. There are beautiful trees. One of the trees was covered in gigantic blooms with organic leaves that were maybe a foot across. It almost look like they were those paper crepe paper or something but they were alive. Of course there was a back door key involved hidden under a giant carpet. The back door key was completely normal looking it was so ridiculous. It was completely out of place. And naturally there were beautiful women involved but I couldn't really remember any of them. Or what the point of that part of the dream was. There was nothing else strange about that part of the dream. I'm pretty sure the roof was Spanish tile. Oh the house was multi-story and like 40 ft tall. It had
 unusual angles. Some of the exterior was that highly textured stucco and some was bricks. But the bricks ran at angles, not level with the ground. The walls were plumb.
Oh I almost forgot. They finally came up with a voting panel to determine which ones were better. At first I thought there were four people on the panel. But then there was one person left to vote. I think it was a guy. there were men and women on the panel, but it came down to this guy. Someone said to him you have the deciding vote. And I realized there were five people on the panel. That was actually critical that there were an odd number of people. Don't take this to the bank, but I think the blue ones won. Or maybe someone just whispered I think he likes the blue ones

to destroy him without cause.

Job.2

[1] Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD.
[2] And the LORD said unto Satan, From whence comest thou? And Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
[3] And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? and still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause.

Looking to see how this relates. 

The next post

Not this post, but the previous post actually. That post was the result of 62 years of intense biblical research on the subject and nature of God Himself. You simply won't find any better research anywhere. Study it carefully, let it sink deep within your inner recesses. Then just for Grins and Giggles you might go read the Bible yourself.

God or speech to text it's a work in progress

 It seems like today there's sort of three images of God of course there's a lot more images than that I mean everybody's got their own view of who God is and what he looks like and if he exists or not but when it was and I think there's a lot of scientist that actually hold of this they may not stay at but God is this guy who kicked everything off got it all started for us nice kick back with his feet up got his hands behind his head kind of kick back relaxing every once in awhile servings come by and drop grapes in his mouth stuff like that how do you spell basically just seeing how things turn out you know so that that that's one sort of an insurance or the guy who's going to have a lunch or whatever or just not involved The Other Extreme and and there's the image of the of the sky who's like super scary he's and he's an angry all the time lightning bolt flashing out of them all the time and stuff and I know he's zapping people and family doesn't really seem to have the right people very often right or if he does it like takes a long long time he's a terrible shot when you know that he's going to get everybody here he's that that's that's largely going to be his role as you know there's not going to be very much reward punishment and I like I'm stopping that stuff is going to happen in the first part there is a small element have had to of stuff goes on every day and you don't see God running around here pulling strings in stopping stuffers for kick-starting anything so then there's the third image of course which is and he would never want anything bad to happen to anyone and although bad happens he doesn't will it he he only if it's within his permissive will so he permits it based on some you know infant plan he's got going on which I think is probably true you know that's always true he's got an infant a plane going on or near infinite and a need to know he's just your friend and he just wants to give you a big hug and your let me pick you up and carry you just look so exhausted all you just had such a tough day in the sand is kind of hot we're walking on I don't want you to bring your little toes. I'll just kind of like I don't know oh my gosh you're my little lamb and I'm just going to okay in sure there's there is some element of that in him to send in there somewhere right is the guy who loves you and wants the best for you and he guys who is God well he's all that stuff and and he's infinitely more

The dove

There is a dove on a light pole out in the parking lot. Doesn't that seem kind of odd? You would think that doves and crows would be close friends, but there is no evidence of this.

Matthew 1
17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.

Revelation 1
20 The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches.

This one's tricky, take your time.

Happy New Year!

Matt.22

[1] And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said,
[2] The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,
[3] And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.
[4] Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage.
[5] But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:
[6] And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them.
[7] But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.
[8] Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.
[9] Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.
[10] So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.
[11] And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:
[12] And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.
[13] Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Rev.22

[10] And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.

[11] He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.

[12] And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

-

Here are some snappy comebacks. Being speechless seems only slightly better than bragging about your works, which apparently ends in the lake of fire. (Matt 7:22-23)

So try these:

must you remind me? the traffic was unbearable getting here.  

I knew I forgot something, to stop at the dry cleaners. 

I was hung over from the last wedding party and forgot to get it dry cleaned. forgive me.

I have a feeling we've been through this before, but give me one more chance.

those ropes are completely unnecessary. I'm sure we can work something out.

there was no mention of a wedding garment in the invitation. see I have it right here.

if you say nothing you're doomed. 

maybe He'll only tie one hand behind your back and throw you into the twilight zone.
