① The glory of God is always perfect in ever-existing infinity.
John17:5 Now, Father, glorify me with your own self with the glory which I had with you before the world existed.
† God is glorious in Himself. The First Person in the Trinity and the Second Person in the Trinity are glorious in Themselves. God does not become glorious because of creatures. Whether there is a creation world or not, God is perfectly glorious. From eternity to eternity, the glory of God is infinitely full.
† There is no change in the glory of God, but there is a change in the level of worship that creatures offer to God. In time, there is a change in the glory God receives from creatures. For God does not change, but creatures do. God is always perfect, but creatures are imperfect before they become perfect.[1] Creatures exist only in time. But God is upholding that time.
1Tim.1:17 Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.
† God always exists. God does not pass away. However, creatures can disappear. Be it angels or humans, death or life, time or space, any creature can cease to exist. When God returns them, the creature may be returned to non-existence.
† God is just. God will burn in the lake of fire those creatures that trample on their neighbors.[2] After paying for their sins[3], the criminals will be returned to non-existence.[4] The criminals are annihilated and disappear. Of course, since non-existence is also always in God, everything may always exist in God's eyes. God is the God of existence and non-existence.[5] We creatures cannot know how God regards non-existence. Creatures exist only in time.[6]
1Tim.6:14 that you keep the commandment without spot, blameless, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ;
1Tim.6:15 which in its own times he will show, who is the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
1Tim.6:16 who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light; whom no man has seen, nor can see: to whom be honor and eternal power. Amen.
† Creatures cannot see God. Creatures cannot see the Second Person in the Trinity originally. Since the Second Person in the Trinity has emptied Himself and has become a creature, now creatures can see God.[7] God becomes a creature and becomes the King of creatures.[8] God comes as an adam and becomes like an angel through resurrection.[9]
† The Father is glorious in Himself. The Son is also glorious in Himself. The Father always exists and does not pass away.[10] The Son also always exists and does not pass away. The creation world is in the Father, and the Father upholds the creation world.[11] The creation world is in the Son[12], and the Son upholds the creation world.[13] God is the Living One.[14] When the Son was forsaken by the Father, He once died. But the Son is never again forsaken forevermore.
Rev.1:8 "I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty."
† The Son is God. The Son who had possessed Death and Hades[15], emptied Himself and became a creature[16], so He inherited[17] the keys of Death and of Hades.[18] After He saves those whom He will save[19], the Son will throw Death and Hades in the lake of fire to annihilate them.[20]
Rev.20:11 I saw a great white throne, and him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. There was found no place for them.
† God is glorious in Himself. God's glory is not affected by creatures. Whether before or after the creation of the creation world, God's glory is unchangingly perfect. God transcends time, and His glory is not limited by time. God alone is perfectly glorious in ever-existing infinity.
† God created creatures for His glory.[21] Creatures were created to worship God.[22] The glory of God is not diminished even if creatures do not give glory to God.[23] The glory of God is not diminished even if creatures do not worship God. God is perfect in Himself with or without creatures. God is not affected by the worship of creatures.
† Worship is not for God, but for creatures.[24] It is because God created creatures to be happiest when they worship God. Therefore, God wants to be worshiped by creatures. Because God loves creatures, He wants to be worshiped by them.
† A creature that wants to exist for God, worships God. A creature that wants to exist for itself, does not worship God. A creature that tries to exist for itself, tramples on its neighbors for its own sake. Since it is not omnipotent, it tries to fill what it lack from its neighbors.[25] Instead of trying to live by receiving life from God, it is trying to live by taking life from its neighbors.[26]
† A creature can receive life from God only when it worships Him.[27] Because God created creatures that way. A creature can begin to love only when it first receives God's love.[28] Only the Almighty is life[29] and can exist in Himself.[30] Only the Almighty alone lacks nothing[31], and can give love from Himself.[32] When creatures worship God, they receive life from God and come to love their neighbors.
† A creature that does not worship God, come to trample its neighbors for its own sake. It is to break the commandments of love. A creature that commits a crime makes its neighbors suffer, but it also suffers itself.[33] In order for a creature to escape the pain of sin, it must either worship God or be annihilated. The judgment of the lake of fire is also God's love. God does not continue forever the pain of creatures that refuse to worship Him.
† Worshiping God is a pain for a creature that wants to exist for itself. To the criminals, giving glory to God is a pain. Living for God is painful for them. It is better for them to be annihilated and returned to non-existence. Therefore, God will return them to non-existence. But before that, God will make them pay the full price for the sin they have committed.[34] Those who have sinned much will suffer much[35], and those who have sinned little will suffer little.[36] The punishment for a murderer who killed 100000000000 people and a murderer who killed 1 person, cannot be the same. The punishment for Satan and Cain, cannot be the same.[37]
Luke9:27 But I tell you the truth: There are some of those who stand here, who will in no way taste of death, until they see the Kingdom of God."
Luke9:28 It happened about eight days after these sayings, that he took with him Peter, John, and James, and went up onto the mountain to pray.
Luke9:29 As he was praying, the appearance of his face was altered, and his clothing became white and dazzling.
† The disciples see the glory of the Son. Originally, it is the glory that they cannot see.[38] However, God the Father[39] shows them the glory of the Son[40] through God the Holy Spirit.[41] God becomes a creature[42] and shows the glory of God to creatures.[43]
Luke9:30 Behold, two men talked with him, who were Moses and Elijah,
Luke9:31 who appeared in glory, and spoke of his departure, which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.
† Moses and Elijah appear and talk with the LORD Jesus about His crucifixion.
Luke9:32 Now Peter and those who were with him were heavy with sleep, but when they were fully awake, they saw his glory, and the two men who stood with him.
Luke9:33 It happened, as they were parting from him, that Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is good for us to be here. Let's make three tents: one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah," not knowing what he said.
Luke9:34 While he said these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered into the cloud.
Luke9:35 A voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is my beloved Son. Listen to him!"
† The creation world exists only for the sake of the Son.[44] The Father loves only the Son and only in the Son He loves creatures.[45] The Most High Father commands creatures to listen to the Son.[46] The disciples are now looking at the kingdom of the Son.[47]
Luke9:36 When the voice came, Jesus was found alone. They were silent, and told no one in those days any of the things which they had seen.
† No creature can see the glory of God.[48] However, the Second Person in the Trinity becomes a creature and shows the glory of God to creatures. Only the Son[49] has seen the glory of God.[50] Because the Son is originally God.[51]
Heb.1:3 His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself made purification for our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
† Creatures cannot see the glory of God. Creatures cannot see the substance of God. However, the Second Person in the Trinity becomes a creature and shines the glory of God on creatures. The Second Person in the Trinity becomes a creature and expresses the substance of God to creatures. God the Creator became the brightness that creatures could see. God the Creator became an image that creatures could see.
Rev.1:13 And in the midst of the lampstands was one like a son of man, clothed with a robe reaching down to his feet, and with a golden sash around his chest.
Rev.1:14 His head and his hair were white as white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire.
Rev.1:15 His feet were like burnished brass, as if it had been refined in a furnace. His voice was like the voice of many waters.
Rev.1:16 He had seven stars in his right hand. Out of his mouth proceeded a sharp two-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining at its brightest.
Rev.1:17 When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead man. He laid his right hand on me, saying, "Don't be afraid. I am the first and the last,
Rev.1:18 and the Living one. I was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. I have the keys of Death and of Hades.
† The Second Person in the Trinity who came as an adam[52], resurrected and became like an angel.[53] The LORD Jesus who has become like an angel, sits on the true throne. But the LORD Jesus is neither an adam nor an angel. The LORD Jesus is God the Creator. The LORD Jesus is upholding the creation world, upholding all things by the word of His power.[54]
John1:14 The Word became flesh, and lived among us. We saw his glory, such glory as of the one and only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.
† The Word that upholds all things[55] put on the flesh of adam. The Word put on a body that was cursed[56] and the lust of flesh rose up.[57] However, not all creatures can recognize[58] the Word.[59] Creatures[60] can see only as much as God[61] shows them.[62]
John17:24 Father, I desire that they also whom you have given me be with me where I am, that they may see my glory, which you have given me, for you loved me before the foundation of the world.
† [Regarding the glory itself of the Second Person in the Trinity] The First Person in the Trinity and the Second Person in the Trinity are equal and uphold infinity as ever-existing. The Second Person in the Trinity[63] is glorious[64] with the First Person in the Trinity[65] in ever-existing infinity.[66] However, the Second Person in the Trinity emptied Himself within time.[67] Within time, the Second Person in the Trinity hides His glory from creatures.[68] Having become a creature, the Son is still glorious[69], but because the Son has become a creature, creatures cannot see the Son's glory.[70] Only creatures[71] God the Father allows[72], can see the glory of the Son.[73] He expresses Himself as a creature to us[74], but the Second Person in the Trinity is the Creator[75] who is upholding space-time.[76] We exist only in space-time[77], but the Second Person in the Trinity[78] who is upholding[79] space-time[80], transcends space-time.[81] Angels and humans who exist only in space-time, cannot understand it.[82]
† [About the Son's glory received from creatures] The Second Person in the Trinity is glorious in Himself. However, not all creatures can see the Son's glory.[83] Even when He was conceived[84], and even when He was a baby, the Son was glorious.[85] But not all creatures gave glory to the Son.[86] The Son is glorified by creatures through His cross.[87] God the Father is also glorified from creatures through the Son.[88] The Son is glorified by creatures[89] through His resurrection.[90] The Son is glorified by creatures through the saints.[91] The Son is glorified by creatures through judgment.[92] God is glorious in Himself even without creatures. Nevertheless, God allows each creature to choose whether or not to give glory to God.[93] In order for creatures to voluntarily glorify God[94], God shows creatures[95] why they must glorify God.[96] God reveals His glory[97] to creatures[98], so that they may glorify Him.[99] The cross[100] is the highest glory[101] that God the Creator[102] shows[103] to creatures.[104]
Acts17:24 The God who made the world and all things in it, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, dwells not in temples made with hands,
Acts17:25 neither is he served by men's hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he himself gives to all life and breath, and all things.
† All creatures live and exist only by the life of God. God exists in Himself.
2Cor.3:18 But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord, the Spirit.
† The Lord transforms those who see the glory of the Lord, into the image of the Lord through God the Holy Spirit.
Rev.4:2 Immediately I was in the Spirit. Behold, there was a throne set in heaven, and one sitting on the throne
Rev.4:3 that looked like a jasper stone and a sardius. There was a rainbow around the throne, like an emerald to look at.
† It is a metaphor that expresses the glory of God which humans cannot see, so that humans can understand it. Although God the Father is depicted as a man sits on the true throne, creatures cannot actually see[105] God the Father.[106]
Ezek.1:25 There was a voice above the expanse that was over their heads: when they stood, they let down their wings.
Ezek.1:26 Above the expanse that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone; and on the likeness of the throne was a likeness as the appearance of a man on it above.
† There is a throne above the expanse over the heads of the cherubim, and God speaks through the throne.
Ezek.1:27 I saw as it were glowing metal, as the appearance of fire within it round about, from the appearance of his loins and upward; and from the appearance of his loins and downward I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and there was brightness round about him.
Ezek.1:28 As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of Yahweh. When I saw it, I fell on my face, and I heard a voice of one that spoke.
† Ezekiel saw what looked like the glory of Yahweh.
Dan.7:9 I saw until thrones were placed, and one who was ancient of days sat: his clothing was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool; his throne was fiery flames, [and] the wheels of it burning fire.
Dan.7:10 A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousands of thousands ministered to him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.
† The Ancient of Days upholds infinity as ever-existing. The Ever-Present One is upholding time and is not limited by time. God transcends time[107] and is present in every moment at the same time.[108] We cannot understand what that means.[109] For we creatures exist only in time.[110]
Dan.10:4 In the four and twentieth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is Hiddekel,
Dan.10:5 I lifted up my eyes, and looked, and, behold, a man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with pure gold of Uphaz:
Dan.10:6 his body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as flaming torches, and his arms and his feet like burnished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude.
Dan.10:7 I, Daniel, alone saw the vision; for the men who were with me didn't see the vision; but a great quaking fell on them, and they fled to hide themselves.
† It is God who reveals His glory[111], and it is God who makes us see the glory.[112] The glory of God who is infinite, cannot be seen properly by creatures.[113] A creature cannot escape even space-time. Just as much as God reveals to creatures[114], they can see the glory of God.[115]
† Humans can see God only through God the Holy Spirit.[116] Humans can see the Son only through God the Holy Spirit.[117] A creature can only know God as much as God has revealed to the creature.[118] God reveals Himself[119] only as much as humans can understand.[120] God speaks to humans at a level that humans can understand. It is God[121] who is upholding the cognitive power of each creature.[122]
Jude1:25 to God our Savior, who alone is wise, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever. Amen.
Matt.6:13 Bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For yours is the kingdom, the power and the glory forever. Amen.'
† God alone has all glory and majesty and power and dominion forever and ever. God upholds infinity as ever-existing. Creatures exist only in time.
Rev.4:8 The four living creatures, having each one of them six wings, are full of eyes around about and within. They have no rest day and night, saying, "Holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy is the Lord God, the Almighty, who was and who is and who is to come!"
† Cherubim[123](view2:seraphim[124]) worship the LORD God Almighty without ceasing. They must be very happy.
Rev.4:9 When the living creatures give glory, honor, and thanks to him who sits on the throne, to him who lives forever and ever,
† He who sits on the throne and lives for ever and ever, represents the Father. The greatest God[125] accounts the creation world as less than nothing and vanity.[126] God created angels[127] and humans in the form they are now[128], but God[129] upholds infinity as ever-existing.[130] It means that God would not exist in any particular form[131], like a creature.[132] The image of God[133] means the glory of God[134], and it means the character of God.[135] Therefore, God the Father would not actually sit on the throne of the creation world.
† As a father begets his children, so God begets His children. Just as a father begets his children, God also begets[136] the firstfruits[137] that are resurrected or transformed.[138] God gives His word and begets those who receive the word as His children.[139] God the Holy Spirit comes through the word[140] and begets those who receive the word as His children.[141] Our will conceives the seed of the word[142] and we are born in the image of God.[143] We receive God the Holy Spirit[144] and bear the fruit of God the Holy Spirit.[145] Just as the bride who received the seed of the groom gives birth to children, the saints who received God the Holy Spirit bear the fruit of God the Holy Spirit.[146] Our free will conceives the word[147] and bears the fruit of God the Holy Spirit.[148]
Rev.4:10 the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne, and worship him who lives forever and ever, and throw their crowns before the throne, saying,
Rev.4:11 "Worthy are you, our Lord and our God, the Holy One, to receive the glory, the honor, and the power, for you created all things, and because of your desire they existed, and were created!"
† God the Father created the creation world.[149] God the Father is upholding the creation world according to His will.[150] With the proper attitude, all creatures must worship and give glory to God the Father who is upholding them.
Rev.5:11 I saw, and I heard something like a voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousands of ten thousands, and thousands of thousands;
Rev.5:12 saying with a loud voice, "Worthy is the Lamb who has been killed to receive the power, riches, wisdom, might, honor, glory, and blessing!"
† The Second Person in the Trinity[151] is God the Creator[152] who is upholding[153] creatures.[154] Creatures are worshiping the Second Person in the Trinity who became the Lamb. The Son expressed taking the cross as being glorified. God the Creator expressed that His forsaking everything for the sake of creatures[155], as being glorified.
John12:23 Jesus answered them, "The time has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.
Rev.5:13 I heard every created thing which is in heaven, on the earth, under the earth, on the sea, and everything in them, saying, "To him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb be the blessing, the honor, the glory, and the dominion, forever and ever! Amen."
Rev.5:14 The four living creatures said, "Amen!" The elders fell down and worshiped.
God the Father and God the Son receive the same worship.
Rev.7:9 After these things I saw, and behold, a great multitude, which no man could number, out of every nation and of all tribes, peoples, and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands.
Rev.7:10 They cried with a loud voice, saying, "Salvation be to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!"
Rev.7:11 All the angels were standing around the throne, the elders, and the four living creatures; and they fell before his throne on their faces, and worshiped God,
Rev.7:12 saying, "Amen! Blessing, glory, wisdom, thanksgiving, honor, power, and might, be to our God forever and ever! Amen."
† God predetermined to rule the creation world by love.[156] God predetermined to fulfill love in the creation world through the commandments.[157] The commandments, or the laws, are expressions of love.[158] Laws ordered by rulers are only as important as rulers. A centurion's orders are as important as a centurion's, and an emperor's orders are as important as an emperor's.[159] If there is one more important than the emperor, by him the emperor's orders may be disregarded. If there is someone more important than God, God's commands may also be disregarded by him. If there is someone more important than God, by him the rule of love can also be abolished. If the rule of love were to be abolished, creatures would die and slaughter one another and oppress one another. If God allowed it, God would not be love.[160] But since God is love, He Himself[161] gives orders to creatures.[162] Since there is nothing more precious than God[163], God's commandments can never be abolished.[164]
† The act of acknowledging something as the most precious is 'worship'.[165] Through 'worship', a creature acknowledges that something is most precious.[166] Therefore, the commandments of the one who is worshiped can never be abolished.[167] Because God loves creatures, He commands them to worship Him. Since creatures must worship God, God's commandments can never be abolished. The rule of love can never be broken. Trampling on one's neighbor is never acceptable. In order to rule the creation world with love, God predetermined to be worshiped by creatures and began creation.[168] Because He is love, God predetermined to be worshiped by creatures and began creation. God alone is glorious in Himself[169], whether the created things worship Him or not.[170] Nevertheless, God predetermined to be worshiped by creatures and began creation.
† Humans do not rejoice when germs worship humans. Because it's too trivial. Humans are not interested in the happiness of germs. Whether germs kill each other or not, humans don't care. Humans do not try to make germs love each other. Humans do not make an effort to be worshiped by germs in order to make them love each other. In that case, humans would rather cultivate germs into things that cannot help but love each other. Humans do not accept pain and sacrifice to make germs love each other. Rather, humans only want to benefit at the expense of germs. Humans do not try to rule germs with love. Humans do not try to be worshiped by germs. Humans are not interested in germs. But God wants creatures to love one another. God accepts worship from creatures in order to make them love one another.
† The One who is worshiped, is more precious than worshipers. God the Creator is more precious than creatures. Since the One who is worshiped is more precious, it is natural for the worshipers to be sacrificed for the One who is worshiped. It is natural for creatures to be sacrificed for God the Creator. But God the Creator sacrifices[171] Himself.[172] In order to make creatures love one another[173], God sacrifices Himself.[174] The Most High Himself commanded and left us an example in person[175], the act of trampling on one's neighbor is unacceptable.[176]
Job37:22 Out of the north comes golden splendor; With God is awesome majesty.
† The place where God is, expressed as north.
Ps.83:18 That they may know that you alone, whose name is Yahweh, Are the Most High over all the earth. For the Chief Musician. On an instrument of Gath. A Psalm by the sons of Korah.
† God alone is the Most High.[177] God is all in all.[178]
Ps.96:5 For all the gods of the peoples are idols, But Yahweh made the heavens.
† Only God is the Creator.[179] Whether it be death or life, time, space, angels or humans[180], all were created by God[181], and are still being upheld by God.[182]
Ps.96:6 Honor and majesty are before him. Strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
† God regards space-time as non-existent.[183] God puts a throne in space-time and puts His name on the throne.[184] Because of that name, the sanctuary is holy.[185]
Ps.97:9 For you, Yahweh, are most high above all the earth. You are exalted far above all gods.
† This does not mean that there are other creators besides God. There is only one God the Creator.[186] The things that the wicked regard as gods[187] are also just creatures that must worship God.[188] Anything that does not worship God, be it angels or humans, will all be thrown into the lake of fire.[189]
Ps.104:1 Bless Yahweh, my soul. Yahweh, my God, you are very great. You are clothed with honor and majesty.
† Creatures can know God only as much as God has made them know.[190] Space-time cannot contain God who upholds infinity as ever-existing.[191] Space-time is accounted by God as less than nothing and vanity. A creature that only exists in space-time, cannot know all of God's glory.
Ps.104:2 He covers himself with light as with a garment. He stretches out the heavens like a curtain.
Ps.104:3 He lays the beams of his chambers in the waters. He makes the clouds his chariot. He walks on the wings of the wind.
† A creature exists only in space-time and cannot escape space-time. God reveals His glory to creatures on the level of creatures so that creatures can understand.
Ps.104:4 He makes his messengers winds(rooakh:spirit); His servants flames of fire.
† God commands angels.[192] An angel is a spirit and a flame of fire.[193]
Ps.104:5 He laid the foundations of the earth, That it should not be moved forever.
† Space-time functions and operates according to God's will.[194] God is upholding the structure of space-time according to His will.[195]
Ps.145:3 Great is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised! His greatness is unsearchable.
† Creatures know God only as much as God has revealed to them. The amount of knowing God is also different for each creature. If we know God better and sin, we will receive a greater judgment.[196]
Is.57:15 For thus says the high and lofty One who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also who is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite.
† God explains what God is like in language that humans can understand. It is God who gave us language.[197] Creatures can only explain in language as much as God allows.
Rom.11:33 Oh the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past tracing out!
† Creatures can know only as much as God has made them know. Angels or humans that exist only in space-time, cannot know God who exists in every moment and every place at the same time.
Rom.11:34 "For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?"
Rom.11:35 "Or who has first given to him, And it will be repaid to him again?"
Rom.11:36 For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things. To him be the glory for ever! Amen.
† God is the source and purpose of all things. Creatures are not things that can give anything to God.
Is.45:15 Most assuredly you are a God who hid yourself, God of Israel, the Savior.'
† Creatures can know God only to the extent that God has made them know.[198] It is something that God does not reveal to creatures[199], but it is as if God hides it from creatures.[200]
② All the glory of creatures is given by God.
1Chr.29:11 Yours, Yahweh, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heavens and in the earth [is your]; your is the kingdom, Yahweh, and you are exalted as head above all.
† Space-time and all creatures within it belong to God the Creator.
1Chr.29:12 Both riches and honor come of you, and you rule over all; and in your hand is power and might; and in your hand it is to make great, and to give strength to all.
† God the Creator is upholding space-time as a structure in which creatures can be happy only in God the Creator. It is God who is upholding space-time as a structure that makes humans hungry if they do not eat.[201] In such space-time, God commands creatures to love their neighbors.[202] It is to see whether creatures are thankful for God's grace even in the midst of their deficiency.[203] The wicked who take God's grace for granted[204], blame God.[205]
Ezek.28:12 Son of man, take up a lamentation over the king of Tyre, and tell him, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: You seal up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
† Here God reveals what kind of person Helel[206], that is, Satan, was, in comparison to the king of Tyre.
Ezek.28:13 You were in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone was your covering, the sardius, the topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the emerald, and gold: the workmanship of your tambourines and of your pipes was in you; in the day that you were created they were prepared.
† God predetermined to create a creature beautiful and wise. God predetermined to create Helel to lead worship. The timbrels and pipes are for worship.[207] The most precious work in the heaven of angels is to worship God. Since it is the most precious work, the worship would have had to be led by the highest-ranking angel. Helel was the cherub[208] covering the throne.[209] Through this, we can know what position Helel was in the heaven of angels. Helel was an angel who was in the highest or comparable position.
† God already knows that Helel will rebel if God gives creatures free will. God already had known that[210] before He created Helel.[211] God who is present in every moment at the same time, was present even before the creation of Helel. If Helel would not fall, God would have predetermined to perfect the free will of creatures in some other way known only to Him. Unlike Michael or Gabriel, however, Helel would fall. God had predetermined[212] to use Helel's fall to complete[213] creation[214] and began creation.[215]
Dan.4:30 The king spoke and said, Is not this great Babylon, which I have built for the royal dwelling-place, by the might of my power and for the glory of my majesty?
† Space-time and all creatures in it were created by God and are being upheld by God. A fool didn't know that. The fool did not know that there was Someone[216] who was upholding him.[217]
Dan.4:31 While the word was in the king's mouth, there fell a voice from the sky, [saying], O king Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is spoken: The kingdom is departed from you:
Dan.4:32 and you shall be driven from men; and they dwelling shall be with the animals of the field; you shall be made to eat grass as oxen; and seven times shall pass over you; until you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whoever he will.
† From eternity to eternity, everything belongs only to God. Be it death or life, time or space, heaven of angels or Hades, angels or humans, all creatures belong only to God.[218] Whether adam manages the earth or Satan manages the earth[219], adam, Satan, and the earth always belong only to God alone.[220] Even if adam lost vicarious management proxy of the earth because of his sin, the earth still belongs to God.
† All things are of God[221], and all things are done according to the will of God.[222] God uses the free choices of creatures to accomplish His will.[223] A creature that makes righteous choices is used righteously, and a creature that makes unrighteous choices is used unrighteously.[224] Accepting grace makes righteous choices[225], rejecting grace makes unrighteous choices.[226] God knows who will accept grace and who will reject it[227], even before He begins creation.[228] After God had predetermined when He would bring each creature into existence[229], He began to create.
† Since the Second Person in the Trinity is the Creator[230], the creation world also belongs to the Second Person in the Trinity.[231] The Second Person in the Trinity emptied Himself[232] and gave up ownership of the creation world. The Son becomes a creature and inherits the creation world from God the Father.[233] The Son gives up His ownership of the creation world and then regains it. The Son gives up the keys of Death and of Hades and regains them.[234]
† Through the cross, God proves His love and justice.[235] Through the cross, creatures see God who keeps the commandments.[236] Through the cross, creatures see the beauty of the commandments.[237] Through the cross, creatures willingly submit to God who rules by the commandments.[238] Even though God burns Death and Hades in the lake of fire, creatures will no longer misunderstand God's love.[239] Even though God burns the criminals to death[240], creatures no longer misunderstand God's love.[241]
Is.40:21 Have you not known? have yet not heard? has it not been told you from the beginning? have you not understood from the foundations of the earth?
† God speaks from the beginning and shows that what He spoke comes true. 'Genesis1' contains the 6000-year history of humankind.[242] The book of Revelation is a prophecy of things that will happen at the end of the 6000-year history.[243] God promises the Messiah first[244] and then comes as the Messiah. Since the Messiah is fully human[245], the Messiah can only be recognized through the bible pre-written.[246] Since the Messiah must set an example of overcoming sin under the same conditions as we do[247], the Messiah does not use His power as God.[248]
† The powers that the LORD Jesus performed, are the powers that the 1st Adam also did, and the powers[249] that His disciples would also do.[250] These are powers that any adam who has escaped from sin[251] can do.[252] The powers performed by the LORD Jesus are important because they are foretold in the bible.[253] We can know that the LORD Jesus is the Messiah[254] by seeing that He performs the powers prophesied in advance.[255] It is important[256] to recognize[257] that the LORD Jesus is the Messiah[258], not the power itself.[259] It is important to receive the Messiah and submit to the rule of love[260], not the power itself.[261]
Is.40:22 [It is] he who sits above the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants of it are as grasshoppers; who stretches out the heavens as a curtain, and spreads them out as a tent to dwell in;
† Space-time is accounted by God the Creator as less than nothing and vanity.[262] Creatures in space-time are accounted by God as less than nothing and vanity. God only compared the inhabitants of the earth to locusts so that humans could understand that fact.
Is.40:23 who brings princes to nothing; who makes the judges of the earth as vanity.
† No matter how excellent a creature is, it exists only in space-time. Space-time which God the Creator can create at any time and can annihilate at any time, and creatures in it, what meaning do they have to God the Creator![263]
Is.40:24 Yes, they have not been planted; yes, they have not been sown; yes, their stock has not taken root in the earth: moreover he blows on them, and they wither, and the whirlwind takes them away as stubble.
† To God the Creator, creatures are just like chaff blown away by the wind. The reason creatures have meaning is that God the Creator loves them and gave up His everything for them.[264] Creatures have meaning only in God the Son.[265]
Matt.5:45 that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust.
† Not only the position and authority of creatures, but even the sun and the rain, are things that creatures can enjoy only when God permits them. It's all[266] God's grace.[267]
Is.6:1 In the year that king Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up; and his train filled the temple.
† This is before the Second Person in the Trinity emptied Himself and became a creature.[268] Therefore, the person sitting on the throne here would not be the actual God the Creator.[269] God the Creator has placed His name on the throne of the true temple.[270] Therefore, the person sitting on the throne here must actually be an angel entrusted with the name of God. God's glory is expressed in a level that humans can understand.
Is.6:2 Above him stood the seraphim. Each one had six wings. With two he covered his face. With two he covered his feet. With two he flew.
† Not even the angels dare to show their faces before God.
Is.6:3 One called to another, and said, "Holy, holy, holy, is Yahweh of Hosts! The whole earth is full of his glory!"
Is.6:4 The foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke.
† God is upholding[271] space-time.[272] The glory of God is full in space-time. But not everyone[273] can[274] see[275] the glory.[276]
Rom.1:20 For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity; that they may be without excuse.
† God inscribed God in all things at a level that creatures can understand so that they can know God.
[1] Rev.21:4 He will wipe away from them every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; neither will there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain, any more. The first things have passed away. He who sits on the throne said, "Behold, I am making all things new." He said, "Write, for these words of God are faithful and true."
[2] Mal.3:5 I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against the perjurers, and against those who oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and who deprive the foreigner of justice, and don't fear me," says Yahweh of Hosts.
[3] Heb.10:28 A man who disregards Moses' law dies without compassion on the word of two or three witnesses.

[4] Rev.20:13 The sea gave up the dead who were in it. Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them. They were judged, each one according to his works. Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire.

[6] Job38:1 Then Yahweh answered Job out of the whirlwind, "Who is this who darkens counsel By words without knowledge? Brace yourself like a man, For I will question you, then you answer me!
[7] John14:8 Philip said to him, "Lord, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us." Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you such a long time, and do you not know me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father. How do you say, 'Show us the Father?'
[8] 1Cor.15:25 For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy that will be abolished is death.
[9] Matt.22:30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are like God's angels in heaven.
[10] Dan.7:13 I saw in the night-visions, and, behold, there came with the clouds of the sky one like a son of man, and he came even to the ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. There was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all the peoples, nations, and languages should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
[11] Eph.4:6 one God and Father of all, who is over all, and through all, and in us all.
[12] Col.3:11 where there can't be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondservant, freeman; but Christ is all, and in all.

[16] Phil.2:6 who, existing in the form of God, didn't consider it robbery to be equal with God, but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men.

[18] Matt.28:18 Jesus came to them and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.

[22] Is.43:21 the people which I formed for myself, that they might set forth my praise.
[23] Job35:6 If you have sinned, what effect do you have against him? If your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to him? If you are righteous, what do you give him? Or what does he receive from your hand? Your wickedness may hurt a man as you are; And your righteousness may profit a son of man.
[24] Jer.2:19 Your own wickedness shall correct you, and your backsliding shall reprove you: know therefore and see that it is an evil thing and a bitter, that you have forsaken Yahweh your God, and that my fear is not in you, says the Lord, Yahweh of Hosts.
[25] John10:10 The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.
[26] Luke10:36 Now which of these three do you think seemed to be a neighbor to him who fell among the robbers?" He said, "He who showed mercy on him." Then Jesus said to him, "Go and do likewise."
[27] John5:22 For neither does the Father judge anyone, but he has given all judgment to the Son, that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He who doesn't honor the Son doesn't honor the Father who sent him. "Most assuredly I tell you, he who hears my word, and believes him who sent me, has eternal life, and doesn't come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.
[28] 1John4:10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son as the atoning sacrifice for our sins. Beloved, if God loved us in this way, we also ought to love one another.
[29] 1John5:20 We know that the Son of God has come, and has given us an understanding, that we know him who is true, and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
[30] Rom.11:36 For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things. To him be the glory for ever! Amen.
[31] Acts17:24 The God who made the world and all things in it, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, dwells not in temples made with hands, neither is he served by men's hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he himself gives to all life and breath, and all things.

[34] Rev.20:13 The sea gave up the dead who were in it. Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them. They were judged, each one according to his works. Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire.

[36] Heb.10:29 How much worse punishment, do you think, will he be judged worthy of, who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and has counted the blood of the covenant with which he was sanctified an unholy thing, and has insulted the Spirit of grace?

[38] 2Cor.4:6 seeing it is God who said, "Light will shine out of darkness," who has shone in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
[39] John17:24 Father, I desire that they also whom you have given me be with me where I am, that they may see my glory, which you have given me, for you loved me before the foundation of the world.

[41] 1Cor.2:10 But to us, God revealed them through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. For who among men knows the things of a man, except the spirit of the man, which is in him? Even so, no one knows the things of God, except God's Spirit.
[42] John14:8 Philip said to him, "Lord, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us." Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you such a long time, and do you not know me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father. How do you say, 'Show us the Father?'

[47] Luke9:26 For whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed, when he comes in the glory of himself, of the Father, and of the holy angels.

As he was praying, the appearance of his face was altered, and his clothing became white and dazzling.
[48] 1Tim.6:16 who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light; whom no man has seen, nor can see: to whom be honor and eternal power. Amen.
[49] John6:46 Not that anyone has seen the Father, except he who is from God. He has seen the Father.

[51] John17:5 Now, Father, glorify me with your own self with the glory which I had with you before the world existed.
[52] 1Cor.15:45 So also it is written, "The first man, Adam, became a living soul." The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
[53] Luke20:35 But those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage. For neither can they die any more, for they are like the angels, and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.

[56] Gen.3:17 To Adam he said, "Because you have listened to your wife's voice, and have eaten of the tree, of which I commanded you, saying, 'You shall not eat of it,' cursed is the ground for your sake. In toil you will eat of it all the days of your life. Thorns also and thistles will it bring forth to you; and you will eat the herb of the field.
[57] Rom.7:23 but I see a different law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity under the law of sin which is in my members. What a wretched man I am! Who will deliver me out of the body of this death?
[58] John12:39 For this cause they couldn't believe, for Isaiah said again, "He has blinded their eyes and he hardened their heart, Lest they should see with their eyes, And perceive with their heart, And would turn, And I would heal them." Isaiah said these things when he saw his glory, and he spoke of him.
[59] Col.2:9 For in him all the fullness of the Godhead dwells bodily,
[60] 2Cor.4:4 in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn on them.

Both riches and honor come of you, and you rule over all; and in your hand is power and might; and in your hand it is to make great, and to give strength to all.
[65] John17:5 Now, Father, glorify me with your own self with the glory which I had with you before the world existed.

[67] Phil.2:6 who, existing in the form of God, didn't consider it robbery to be equal with God, but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men.
[68] Ex.33:20 He said, "You cannot see my face, for man may not see me and live." Yahweh also said, "Behold, there is a place by me, and you shall stand on the rock. It will happen, while my glory passes by, that I will put you in a cleft of the rock, and will cover you with my hand until I have passed by; then I will take away my hand, and you will see my back; but my face shall not be seen."
[69] John8:54 Jesus answered, "If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say that he is our God.
[70] John8:57 The Jews therefore said to him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?" Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I tell you, before Abraham came into existence, I AM."
[71] 1Cor.2:8 which none of the rulers of this world has known. For had they known it, they wouldn't have crucified the Lord of glory. But as it is written, "Things which an eye didn't see, and an ear didn't hear, Which didn't enter into the heart of man, These God has prepared for those who love him." But to us, God revealed them through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.
[72] Luke10:21 In that same hour Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit, and said, "I thank you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in your sight." Turning to the disciples, he said, "All things have been delivered to me from my Father. No one knows who the Son is, except the Father, and who the Father is, except the Son, and he to whomever the Son desires to reveal him."
[73] Matt.13:15 For this people's heart has grown callous, Their ears are dull of hearing, They have closed their eyes; Or else perhaps they might perceive with their eyes, Hear with their ears, Understand with their heart, And should turn again; And I would heal them.' "But blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear.
[74] 1John1:1 That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we saw, and our hands touched, concerning the Word of life (and the life was revealed, and we have seen, and testify, and declare to you the life, the eternal life, which was with the Father, and was revealed to us);

[82] Eph.3:9 and to make all men see what is the administration of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in God, who created all things through Jesus Christ; to the intent that now through the assembly the manifold wisdom of God might be made known to the principalities and the powers in the heavenly places, according to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord;
[83] 2Cor.4:6 seeing it is God who said, "Light will shine out of darkness," who has shone in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

[85] Luke2:12 This is the sign to you: you will find a baby wrapped in strips of cloth, lying in a feeding trough." Suddenly, there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, "Glory to God in the highest, On earth peace, good will toward men."
[86] Matt.2:2 "Where is he who is born King of the Jews? For we saw his star in the east, and have come to worship him." When Herod the king heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. Gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he asked them where the Christ would be born.
[87] John7:39 But he said this about the Spirit, which those believing in him were to receive. For the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus wasn't yet glorified.

[92] 2Thess.1:7 and to give relief to you that are afflicted with us, when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels in flaming fire, giving vengeance to those who don't know God, and to those who don't obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus, who will pay the penalty: eternal destruction from the face of the Lord and from the glory of his might, when he comes to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired among all those who have believed (because our testimony to you was believed) in that day.
[93] Job1:8 Yahweh said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant, Job? For there is none like him in the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil." Then Satan answered Yahweh, and said, "Does Job fear God for nothing? Haven't you made a hedge around him, and around his house, and around all that he has, on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land. But put forth your hand now, and touch all that he has, and he will renounce you to your face."
[94] Rev.16:5 I heard the angel of the waters saying, "You are righteous, who are and who were, you Holy One, because you judged this way. For they poured out the blood of the saints and the prophets, and you have given them blood to drink. They deserve this." I heard the altar saying, "Yes, Lord God, the Almighty, true and righteous are your judgments."
[95] Rev.5:12 saying with a loud voice, "Worthy is the Lamb who has been killed to receive the power, riches, wisdom, might, honor, glory, and blessing!" I heard every created thing which is in heaven, on the earth, under the earth, on the sea, and everything in them, saying, "To him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb be the blessing, the honor, the glory, and the dominion, forever and ever! Amen." The four living creatures said, "Amen!" The elders fell down and worshiped.
[96] Rev.12:10 I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, "Now is come the salvation, the power, and the Kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ; for the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down, who accuses them before our God day and night. They overcame him because of the Lamb's blood, and because of the word of their testimony. They didn't love their life, even to death.
[97] Rev.5:9 They sang a new song, saying, "You are worthy to take the book, And to open its seals: For you were killed, And bought us for God with your blood, Out of every tribe, language, people, and nation, And made them kings and priests to our God, And they reign on earth."
[98] 2Cor.3:2 You are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by all men; being revealed that you are a letter of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tablets of stone, but in tablets that are hearts of flesh.

[102] 1John4:10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son as the atoning sacrifice for our sins.
[103] Rom.5:7 For one will hardly die for a righteous man. Yet perhaps for a righteous person someone would even dare to die. But God commends his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
[104] 1John3:16 By this we know love, because he laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.

[107] Ps.90:2 Before the mountains were brought forth, Or ever you had formed the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting, you are God. You turn man to destruction, saying, "Return, you children of men." For a thousand years in your sight Are but as yesterday when it is past, As a watch in the night.
[108] Rom.8:38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
[109] Rom.11:33 Oh the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past tracing out! "For who has known the mind of the Lord?

[111] Acts22:13 came to me, and standing by me said to me, 'Brother Saul, receive your sight!' In that very hour I looked up at him.

For you will be a witness for him to all men of what you have seen and heard.
[112] Ps.119:18 Open my eyes, That I may see wondrous things out of your law.

[116] 1Cor.2:9 But as it is written, "Things which an eye didn't see, and an ear didn't hear, Which didn't enter into the heart of man, These God has prepared for those who love him."

For who among men knows the things of a man, except the spirit of the man, which is in him? Even so, no one knows the things of God, except God's Spirit.

Luke24:39 See my hands and my feet, that it is truly me. Touch me and see, for a spirit doesn't have flesh and bones, as you see that I have."

They gave him a piece of a broiled fish and some honeycomb. He took it, and ate in front of them.

[136] Acts13:33 that God has fulfilled the same to us, their children, in that he raised up Jesus. As it is also written in the second psalm, 'You are my Son. Today I have become your father.'

Therefore he says also in another psalm, 'You will not allow your Holy One to see decay.'
[137] 1Cor.15:20 But now Christ has been raised from the dead. He became the first fruits of those who are asleep.
[138] Rom.8:23 Not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for adoption, the redemption of our body.

[142] John10:34 Jesus answered them, "Isn't it written in your law, 'I said, you are gods?' If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture can't be broken),
[143] 1Cor.15:49 As we have borne the image of those made of dust, let's also bear the image of the heavenly. Now I say this, brothers, that flesh and blood can't inherit the Kingdom of God; neither does corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I tell you a mystery. We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed,
[144] 2Cor.3:17 Now the Lord is the Spirit and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord, the Spirit.
[145] Gal.5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

[158] Rom.13:10 Love doesn't harm a neighbor. Love therefore is the fulfillment of the law.
[159] Matt.8:8 The centurion answered, "Lord, I'm not worthy for you to come under my roof. Just say the word, and my servant will be healed.

[170] Job35:6 If you have sinned, what effect do you have against him? If your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to him? If you are righteous, what do you give him? Or what does he receive from your hand? Your wickedness may hurt a man as you are; And your righteousness may profit a son of man.

[176] Rev.20:13 The sea gave up the dead who were in it. Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them. They were judged, each one according to his works.

To whoever much is given, of him will much be required; and to whom they deposit much, of him will they ask more.
[197] Ex.4:10 Moses said to Yahweh, "Oh, Lord, I am not eloquent, neither before now, nor since you have spoken to your servant; for I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue." Yahweh said to him, "Who made man's mouth? Or who makes one mute, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? Isn't it I, Yahweh?
[198] Dan.2:28 but there is a God in heaven who reveals secrets, and he has made known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Your dream, and the visions of your head on your bed, are these: as for you, O king, your thoughts came [into your mind] on your bed, what should happen hereafter; and he who reveals secrets has made known to you what shall happen. But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for any wisdom that I have more than any living, but to the intent that the interpretation may be made known to the king, and that you may know the thoughts of your heart.
[199] Col.1:26 the mystery which has been hidden for ages and generations. But now it has been revealed to his saints,
[200] Eph.3:3 how that by revelation the mystery was made known to me, as I wrote before in few words, by which, when you read, you can perceive my understanding in the mystery of Christ; which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit;
[201] Luke4:2 for forty days, being tempted by the devil. He ate nothing in those days. Afterward, when they were completed, he was hungry.

[202] Rom.13:8 Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.

[203] Deut.8:2 You shall remember all the way which Yahweh your God has led you these forty years in the wilderness, that he might humble you, to prove you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep his commandments, or not.

[204] Matt.5:45 that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust.
[205] Ex.16:3 and the children of Israel said to them, "We wish that we had died by the hand of Yahweh in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh-pots, when we ate our fill of bread, for you have brought us out into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger."
[206] Is.14:12 How you are fallen from heaven, day-star, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, who laid the nations low!
[207] Dan.3:4 Then the herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, peoples, nations, and languages, that whenever you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe, and all kinds of music, you fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king has set up; and whoever doesn't fall down and worships shall the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.
