*NOTE**: *22:6-7 - In case any of us should miss the strong thrust of Jesus
in this book - this closing word exhorting in the keeping of these prophetic
words - is at this point given. We, the bondmen of the Lord, are to *
understand* that these things *must* come to pass *with speed*. From God's
point of view, a day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as a day!
For us then, we are in the beginning of the third day since Jesus
accomplished our Redemption! He is indeed - now - right at the door!
- 22:8-9 - Again we are to remember *not* to fall into the error of the
Colossians in angel-worship! There are *many* today in America and Canada *more
than* on the border-line of this error. Andrew Strom of New Zealand adds his
warning to this error.
- 22:10-15 - Again, we are to be *properly* prepared for the soon-coming of
Christ. The words of this entire book have now been sealed. We are now in
the day when our eternal destiny is already being set! Where do you stand in
the light of this warning? Where do I? Our robes need to be *washed*. We are
to clearly understand that *nothing* unholy shall enter this City! We are
also to understand the type of sinner who will forever be excluded!
Fornicators in the nature of homosexual sin are “dogs”. Our world may be
like Sodom and overlook this. *God does not*! What a shock this will be to
some!
- 22:16 - This verse according to Bible Numerics has been given the place
in Scripture as an *entire paragraph* - exalting Jesus! For me, one of the
chief values of Mr. Panin's discovery of Bible Numerics lies in the fact of
its revelation of Sections, Paragraphs, Subdivisions and Sentences.
*This*sentence/paragraph is one of these unusual discoveries. It is a
revelation
in itself.
- 22:17 - Immediately following the above sentence /paragraph, is this one
also: the *triple* invitation to “come”. What an invitation for evangelism!
- 22:18-19 - But this next 2 verse/paragraph is one of the 3 serious
warnings of those who tamper with God's Word - either by addition or
subtraction! There are those who today think little of such tampering. But
for such - a Stern Judge is awaiting to mete out judgment. Oswald Chambers
would warn all such to *beware* the sober consequences for their careless
and thoughtless treatment of God's Word today! Pay-day some-day! The first
warning at the beginning is in the Pentateuch/Torah; the second in Proverbs
at the middle.
- 22:20 - Here is a 2-sentence verse/paragraph. It is a repetition of the
soon coming of Jesus, with an assent from John to do so indeed!
- 22:21 - is the final sentence of this Book, which is *also* a paragraph.
and *yet more* importantly, the fifth Section of this entire
Book-Revelation. It is a benediction of blessing directly from Jesus through
John for all of us saints.
Those who are sincerely interested in the proof of Mr. Panin's amazing
discovery of Bible Numerics in 1890, may purchase his Greek Bible Numeric
New Testament (See the Introduction to “interlinear” on our Website, in the
closing link to the Toronto article. The link there to Dr. Keith L. Brooks
provides the Toronto supplier of Panin's current writings.) Mr. Panin in his
23 page introduction, gives illustration after illustration designed for any
of us, to go into his Greek text which follows. There we can follow through
with him how God used the Hebrew and Greek texts, the only two languages
without number equivalents. Their letters each had numerical equivalents. It
is God's signature that so stamps His integrity upon these 66 Bible books -
that no man to date has been able to confute. - J.A.W.
