INTERPRETING SCRIPTURES

[oseas3]

Revelation 12:v.1

1 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:


Malachi 4:v.1-2


1 For, behold, the Day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the Day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.

2 But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.


THE SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

The Sun of righteousness is the Greater Light sent by the Most High GOD in the fourth Day-Genesis 1:v.16- or fourth millennium.The Sun of righteousness,i.e. the Greater Light,he said:John 8:v.12 to 16:

12 I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
13 The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true.
14 Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go.
15 Ye Judge after the flesh; I Judge no man.
16 And yet if I Judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me. (in the fourth Day)


THE MOON

The MOON is the Lesser Light-Genesis 1:v.16. He, the Lesser Light, doesn't have its own light like JESUS does, so he needs to receive light from the Greater light, the Sun of righteousness, to reflect His light in the world. John 16:v.12 to 15

12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
13 Howbeit when he -the Lesser Light-, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself (he has not its own light as JESUS has); but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
15 All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

THE WOMAN - Revelation 12:v.1

1 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven (heaven has nothing to do with sky); a woman clothed with the Sun-the Greater Light-, and the Moon-the Lesser Light- under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:

TWELVE STARS - twelve apostles
Matthew 19:v.27-28

27 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?
28 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, Judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

1 John 5:v.7
7 There are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit: and these three are One.

The woman, true Church of the Lord, the body of Christ, are really clothed with the Sun, with the light of the Greater Light -JESUS-, and the Moon, the Lesser Light -the Holy Spirit,the Counselor, the Paraclete-John 16:v.7 to 15-, is under her feet supporting the woman, the Church, the body of Christ, surely, and she is crowned with a crown of twelve stars - the twelve Apostles.

Remember: Revelation 1:v.20
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.

By analogy, the twelve Apostles of the LORD, are 12 STARS of the Universal Church of the LORD

Revelation 11:v.15
The kingdoms OF THIS WORLD are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.

There will be a War in heaven and the Dragon will be cast down into the earth, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was(will be)cast out into the earth, and his angels (2Corinthians 11:v.13 to 15) will be cast out with him.

May our Lord GOD bless and keep us, and give us His protection

Amen

[oseas3]

Revelation 1:v.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.

Revelation 11:v.3-4 -

3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.

4 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.

Therefore, by the Word of GOD, 7 candlesticks are 7 Churches.

By analogy, 2 candlesticks are 2 Churches really;

(1) The Church of the Gentile believers /true Christians;
(2) the Jewish Church - Hebrews 12:v.18-29

And 2 Olive Trees are a SOURCE of OIL for the 2 Churches / Candlesticks

Revelation 11:v.3-5
THE TWO OLIVE TREES AND THE TWO WITNESSES

- THE TWO WITNESSES -
v.3 - I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they (both) shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
v.4 - These are the two olive trees(1), and the two candlesticks(2) standing before the God of the earth.

THE TWO CANDLESTICKS - TWO CHURCHES
(1) The Church of the Gentile believers /true Christians; Body of Christ JESUS
(2) the Jewish Church - Hebrews 12:v.18-29 - Body of Christ JESUS

About this great mystery of GOD revealed in His words, Paul, the Apostle, give us a perfect revelation in his marvelous epistle to the Church of Ephesians: Eph.2:v.11 to 22, from which here goes 2 verses:

...

v.13 - But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off (Gentile peoples-confer this revelation in John 10:v.16) are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
v.14 - For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; - ALELUIA!!! -
...

- THE TWO OLIVE TREES -
The Two Olive Trees are a SOURCE of Oil for the 2 Churches / 2 Witnesses

The two WITNESSES are not only 2 candlesticks-two Churches- which testify of the Word of GOD, and both will Judge the World; The two WITNESSES are ALSO the two OLIVE TREES;

The two OLIVE TREES are the SOURCE OF OIL, yeah, the SOURCE OF OIL for the TWO candlesticks -the two Churches-, they ARE the Persons of JESUS and of the Holy Spirit, the Paraclete or the Counselor, they both are the TWO OLIVE TREES and the SOURCE of OIL for the two Churches/ two Candlesticks.

WAR AGAINST THE ENEMIES - TWO BEASTS AND THEIR FOLLOWERS
v.5 - And if any man (the MAN Beast of sea and the MAN Beast of earth-Revelation 13:v.1 to 18) will hurt them, FIRE proceedeth out of their MOUTH(the testimony of (two Churches) their MOUTH will be a devouring FIRE-the Word is GOD-GOD is a consuming FIRE), and (they both will) devoure(th) their enemies(IN 42 MONTHS-IN THE BEGINNING OF THE FIRST HALF OF THE LAST WEEK-Revelation 13:v.3);

and if ANY MAN(the MAN Beast of sea-Revelation 13:5-, and ALSO the esoteric and kabbalistic and spiritist false messiah of the Jews, the Dragon-Revelation 13:v.11to18- and THEIR followers) will hurt THEM(both), he (the Enemy) must in this manner be killed (his satanic and monstrous religious system with its 7 heads, and 10 horns, and a TAIL, must be dissolved, dismantled, DESTROYED-Revelation 13:v.3 and 2 Peter 3:v.7 onwards)

Jerusalem will be trodden by Gentile nations by 42 months - Revelation 11:v.2

Jerusalem, also called spiritually Sodom and Egypt, will be trodden by Gentile nations in this last DECADE of the world of Devil.

The COURT, yeah, the COURT which is without the temple will be given unto the Gentiles, and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months -Rev.11:v.2- it because the Dragon will give to the Beast of sea- the Pope -the Papacy-, his Power, and his Throne in Jerusalem, and great Authority for 42 months.

Actually it is the FIRST HALF of the last week of Daniel 9:v.27 which WILL BE RULED BY THE BEAST OF SEA enthroned in Jerusalem-REV.13:v.2 and 5- this will be the Great Delusion in fulfilment of 2Thes.2:v.11-12.

TWO STRONG AND POWERFUL BEASTS(Revelation 13:1to18) WILL RULE DURING SEVEN (7) YEARS A MONSTROUS AND EPHEMERAL UNIVERSAL AND SATANIC RELIGIOUS SYSTEM - JUDAISM AND CATHOLICISM -

Verse 5 - 5 And there was given (BY THE DRAGON) unto him (unto the Beast of sea -the Pope, the Papacy)- a MOUTH speaking great things and blasphemies-Revelation 16:v.13-; and *POWER was given unto him to continue forty and two months. -THAT IS the FIRST HALF of the last week of Daniel 9:v.27.

*POWER was given unto him by the DRAGON, who is the esoteric and kabbalistic false messiah of the Jews (John 5:v.43), who will oppose and exalt himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped;
so that he as God will BE ENTHRONED in the temple of God-in JERUSALEM, spiritually called Sodom and Egypt-, shewing himself that he is God, AND the FALSE MESSIAH will give not only his *POWER to the Beast of sea, BUT ALSO HIS THRONE IN JERUSALEM AND GREAT AUTHORITY. (the great delusion-2Thes.2)


Do not have any doubt that the Beast of sea, the next Pope to be elected after death of Pope Francis from now on, which will take a pseudo-name or nickname as being the SEVENTH of a lineage of Popes, as seventh king of that lineage, yeah, THAT ELECTED NEW AND LAST POPE WILL SIT ON THE THRONE OF THE DRAGON IN JERUSALEM with great Power and Authority given by the Devil, the Dragon, the Jewish false messiah.THIS WILL BE THE STRONG DELUSION-2Thes. 2:v.11-12- that GOD will send to the nation of Israel that they BELIEVE A LIE.

Be sure that the plagues are underway, the earth is and will be smited with strong and severe plagues,and the waters-peoples,and nations, and multitudes of all tongues - are and will be turned to blood, amd the heaven is shut, so he that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still, no more salvation, no, no more, but GOD's wrath will fall upon all the nations, and they will be cast into the hell's fire from now on.

Revelation 2:v.26-29
26 - He that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the END, to him will I give power over the nations:

27 And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.

28 And I will give him the morning star.

29 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

After the END of these things will come the ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION - the 2nd HALF OF THE LAST WEEK that will be ruled by the ruthless and ESOTERIC, AND KABBALISTIC, AND SPIRITIST Jewish FALSE MESSIAH - 2Thessalonians 2

Isaiah 26:v.21-22
20 Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.

21 For, behold, the Lord cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.

Be careful, get ready

Traditional hymn for Christian worship.

From George Matheson -  1882

[oseas3]

Romans 16:v. 20 - And the GOD of peace SHALL BRUISE SATAN UNDER YOUR FEET SHORTLY. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.

The author of the epistle to the Romans, Paul Apostle, after his conversion to Christianity was arrested in Cesareia, he made his own defense at his Judgment. The Jews asked to the governor called Festus to send Paul to Jerusalem, but Paul told no one could turn him over to the Jews (Paul knew that the Jews wanted to kill him), then, when he finished his defense, he appealed to Caesar at his Judgment. "Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, Hast thou appealed unto Caesar? unto Caesar shalt thou go-Acts 25:v.12. Paul's journey to Italy-Rome was full of obstacles and difficulties for his survival, and at great risk of losing his life, but GOD was with him and kept him, and he arrived in Rome safe and sound after several months of great sufferings.

The Apostle Paul, whose name was originally Saul, was a Jew from a very orthodox line of Pharisaism. He was a student of Gamaliel, but unlike his mentor, he was known for his persecution of Christians. Paul also had Roman citizenship, he was born in Tarsus, the capital of Cilicia, this was and made a great difference in his ministry. Cilicia is an early Roman province on what is today the southern coast of Turkey.

There were many many Jews in Rome, and the fame of a new "religion or sect" planted by JESUS in Israel was spreading everywhere. Three days after he arrived in Rome, Paul called the Jewish leaders in Rome, as a result, many Jews in Rome came to visit him, and Paul explained that he was arrested because of his faith in Israel's hope. They decided to hear more (Acts 28:17-22), and a large number of Jews gathered at Paul's house, and he tried to convince them about Jesus (28:23) and the Kingdom of God, there was a division among the Jews, some believing and others rejecting the Word (28:24-29).

Paul said to the Jews: Romans 2:v.1-11

1 Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.
2 But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things.
3 And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the Judgment of God?
5 But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;
6 Who will render to every man according to his deeds:
9 Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;
11 There is no respect of persons with God.


Then the Church of our Lord JESUS developed itself in Rome, and Satan in parallel worked too. Thus Paul was concerned about the apostasy in the Church of Rome, he took very care for the spiritual development of the brothers in Rome. Paul gave his last instructions and admonitions to the brothers of the Church in Rome, warning them of an apostate movement mainly by Jews among the brothers, even in the Church of the Lord there established by him and other apostles.Rom.16:17-20:

-17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and AVOID THEM.
18 For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by GOOD WORDS and FAIR SPEECHES DECEIVE the hearts of the simple.
19 For YOUR OBEDIENCE is come abroad unto all men. I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple concerning evil.
20 And the God of peace SHALL BRUISE SATAN UNDER YOUR FEET SHORTLY.THIS WILL FULFILL LIETERALLY FROM NOW ON-ALLELUJAH!

John Apostle also wrote about the apostasy mainly about the primitive and true Church of the LORD in Rome, as follow:
1 John 2:v.19 - They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out,that they might be made manifest that THEY WERE NOT ALL OF US.

It is very interesting this revelation of the Apostle John concerning the primitive and genuine Church of the LORD in Rome, which apostatized even in the time of the Apostles, mainly the Jewish believers, and it linked politically to the Roman Empire, and the Church was called Catholic Church, and become a CORRUPTED CHURCH in the hands of Satan.

Again: "They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out,that they might be made manifest that THEY WERE NOT ALL OF US"-1John 2:v.19-then they started to persecute the true Churches of the LORD, they killed the Apostles Paul and Peter among others. By the way, notice that Revelation describes(year 95AD and 65 years after JESUS's ascension)the spiritual conditions of the 7 Churches of Asia, but the Church of Rome, later denominated Roman Catholic Church, which would be the eighth, it was excluded because was totally in the hands of the Devil, and would be according Scriptures the Seat of Satan, the headquarter of the body of Devil, the idolater, apostate, and devilish church of Rome.

And now, even now, with the manifestation of the MAN Beast of earth with two horns like a lamb, a false lamb, a Jewish false messiah (John 5:v.43-47) but speaks as Dragon, then there will be two Beasts reigning on the Earth, one in Rome and another in Jerusalem, as Paul apostle warned, saying; 2Thes.2:v.3to12:

3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. (He who is not of the Lord, Satan will take with him, and there will be battle: Revelation 12:v.7-17 and 16:v.13-16).

And ONE of the 7 heads of the satanic and religious MONSTER guided by the Beast of sea will be wounded to death by the Sword, and his wound will be healed by the MAN Beast of earth, the son of perdition, the little horn, who was born from one of the 10 tribes of Israel, the tribe of Dan, he is already living in his country, and must manifest himself soon. And he, even he himself, will give to the Beast of sea-the Pope-his Power,and his Seat in Jerusalem, spiritually called Sodom and Egypt, and great Authority, and the wound of the head of the Beast of sea will be healed by the false messiah of the Jews-John 5:v.43-47 combined with Revelation 13:v.3.

But the GOD of peace SHALL BRUISE SATAN UNDER YOUR FEET SHORTLY. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

[oseas3]

1John 5:v.17 - There are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit (which is not a Ghost as is written in English LANGUAGE, but a Person): and these three are One.

Matthew 11:v.27 -... no MAN knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any MAN the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal Him.

The writers try, among the doubts, to understand the deep mysteries of Three Divine Persons, and even they progress to a certain point in their vision, without however reaching the main goal: Identify who is the character to which it was added the epithet [holy,] In fact, this is very profound and is not easy to penetrate in this wonderful heavenly environment although our privilege to be "living or dwelling" spiritually even in heaven through / by the Word of GOD -the Word is GOD - or in heavenly place in Christ as is revealed in Ephesians 1:v.3-7(among others):
3 Blessed be the GOD and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
4 According as He hath chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love:
5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself (Hallelujaaah), according to the good pleasure of His will,
6 To the praise of the glory of His grace, wherein He hath made us accepted in the beloved.-JESUS-. Songs of Solomon chap. 2;5;6;8.

THREE DIVINE PERSONS
THE PERSON OF GOD, THE FATHER - THE WORD

Although GOD -the Word- be invisible, the true believers know many things about HIM because JESUS revealed Him (Matt.11:v.27 among others). By the way, in His pray Lord JESUS said: John 17:v.4-10 :
4 I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.
5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.
6 I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.
7 Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.
8 For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.
9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.
10 And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.


THE PERSON OF GOD,THE SON -JESUS- THE WORD MADE FLESH

No need to comment. The Person of JESUS is known from two thousand years ago-Hebrews 1:v.1-3. In fact, the person of JESUS was known many time before His birth by the prophets, the Spirit of Christ was in them-1 Peter 1:v.10-12.
In fact, the Person of JESUS (Behold the man!) is known of the men, and is also known of the angels, and He is known of the demons too.


THE HOLY SPIRIT - AN UNKNOWN PERSON

The person of the Holy Spirit is not a ghost as is written in English language, but a Person, and as a Person, as was JESUS in flesh and bones, he is unknown completely. As a Person he has several missions; JESUS said: John 16:v.12-15 and v.8-11:

12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
15 All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of Judgment:
9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;
10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;
11 Of Judgment, because the prince of this world is Judged.

- The Person of he Holy Spirit has not genealogy as JESUS has; why? Because he is not a Jew.

- As above is said, JESUS, or the NAME of JESUS, is known of men, and is also known of the angels, and He is known of the demons too. But the person of the Holy Spirit has a NAME written (in the Holy Scriptures, course) that no MAN knows, but he himself. I repit: He has not genealogy as JESUS has, he is not a Jew.


- JESUS came from heaven and He was born in Israel. John 6:38 - I came down from heaven(Behold the man!John 19:5)not to do mine own will, but the will of Him that sent me. In the other hand, the prophetic birth of the person of Holy Spirit is not in Israel, but in a Gentile nation. His birth is within the body of Christ-the Church-and as JESUS said, he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak, for he shall receive of mine, he shall take of mine. This exposed picture or figure is like the Sun and Moon. The Moon receives light from the Sun and reflets the light over the Earth; Regardings the light of JESUS reflected by the Holy Spirit over the Earth, I can see by analogy in Genesis 1:v.16:-And GOD made two great lights; the Greater Light to rule the day, and the Lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. --> Revelation 12:1-2 & 5.
12 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman(the Church of the Lord JESUS) clothed with the Sun (JESUS and His Light, the Greater Light), and the moon (the Lesser light - the person of the Holy Spirit) under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: (The twelve Apostles of the Lord JESUS)
2 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. 5-And she brought forth a man child - the person of the Holy Spirit- , who was to rule all nations (EXCEPT ISRAEL) with a rod of iron: and her child was CAUGHT UP unto GOD, and to His throne. By the way, about GOD's Throne-Psalm 97:v.1-2CJB say: 1 Adonai is king, let the earth rejoice, let the many coasts and islands be glad. 2 CLOUDS and thick darkness surround Him; Righteousness and Justice are the foundation of His throne. (By the way, as is written in 1 Thessalonians 4:v.17, "We which are alive and remain shall be CAUGHT UP (AS HER SON-REV. 12:v.5) together with them in the CLOUDS-Psalm 97:v.2, to meet the Lord in the AIR (AIR is heaven - here the third heaven): and so shall we ever be with the Lord.-(in the third heaven)
That said, what was asked by Mr. Porson and answered by Beza has sense, as I transcribe below:
>>> Again, Mr. Porson asks, “ Why is the epithet [holy,] ” after being twice omitted, added [to Spirit] in the seventh verse ? Beza
says,
“ In order to distinguish one Spirit from the other, ut ab eo distinguatur cujus fit mentio in sequenti versu." <<<
I highlight also the explanation below mainly where the commenter tries to understand and asks "why, in the original, the expression of unity in the two verses differs, one from the other, both doctrinally and grammatically?" Perhaps, too, because when the Three Divine Persons are connumerated in the same passage, as in Matth. xxviii. 19, 2 Cor. xiii. 14, the epithet was usually added. It may also be asked, why, in the original, the expression of unity in the two verses differs, one from the other, both doctrinally and grammatically? But his conclusion is much much more interesting and impressive when he says: The reason appears to be, because in one the unity is essential and real; in the other, adventitious and APPARENT ONLY (highlight mine); and because the eighth verse is dependent on the seventh, as a RELATIVE is on its antecedent.

[oseas3]

Interpreting GODs' mysteries

Israel, as 'Dry Bones'- Ezekiel 37- Now, Dry land, but before was the clay (Isaiah 64:8), exactly when the Most High make a separation between water and water- Genesis 1:9-, that is, when the Most High separated the Hebrews from the Egypcians through Moses, and He created a celestial environment and called it of expanse, called heaven (that is the Dispensation of the Old Testament used in the Promised Land), then the Most High, the Lord, the I AM, separated the water (the Egypcians) that was BELOW of the expanse He created(an heavenly environment), and the water that that was ABOVE the expanse (the people of Israel- GOD's people), and it was evening, and it was morning, the second GOD's Day.

Genesis 1:10-19
10And God called the dry land Earth(Israel); and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas(Gentile peoples/nations): and God saw that it was good.

11And God said, Let the earth(Israel)bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth(Israel) :and it was so.

12And the earth(Israel) brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind,and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
13And the evening and the morning were the third day. (Around 2500 years after Adam)

14And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day(light)from the night(darkness); and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
15And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven(expanse) to give light upon the earth and it was so.

16And God MADE two great lights; the Greater Light-JESUS-to rule the day(1Thessalonians 5:4-8), and the Lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.(Daniel 12:3 combined with Revelation 1:20)
17And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
18And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

"John 5:17 - My Lord JESUS said: My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.

GOD sent JESUS in the turn from the fourth Day to the fifth Day, i.e. around 4000 years after Adam, and around 1500 years after Moses. As JESUS said, GOD the Father still was working, in fact was until the END of the recent last millennium, the sixth millennium.
Based in the Word of God, on GOD's six Days of creation and one Day of rest( a total of seven days) plus the Scriptures that teach that one Day is with the Lord as a thousand years, so MANKIND would go through six GOD Days of 1,000 years each(a total of 6000 years) plus a Millennium of 1000 years rest (now a total of 7,000 years)

Through Jewish calendar the Jewish people use it for counting time and commemorating birthdays, festivities, weddings, deaths, religious celebrations and other solemnities. According to the Hebrews,the years are counted from what they believe to be the creation of Adam.

Created over 3000 years ago, the Jewish calendar is based on the movements of the Moon and the Sun, and is therefore a lunisolar calendar. In this way, months are counted from the lunar cycles,and years from the solar cycles. Therefore, years can range from 12 to 13 months, with 29 or 30 days.
In September 2023 of the Gregorian calendar, the year 5784 of the Jewish calendar began, exactly on September 15th, and end will occur on October 2th, 2024 .

How to explain the difference of exactly 240 years in the Jewish calendar?

Trying to answer the question by/through/according to biblical events, I found three interesting and suggestive happenings of Jewish History within the Bible, which certainly Jews dismiss without an explanation, perhaps because of shame at facts that are a stain on the nation's history of Israel.

According to biblical events, I found three interesting and suggestive happenings of Israel's chatisements in Jewish History and within the Bible, as described below , each one with its long period of time that certainly Jews discard without an explanation, perhaps because of shame of facts which are a stain on the history of the nation of Israel. (like their original fall; captivity; golden calf/idolatry/ rebellion against GOD)

1-The Jewish Calendar begins in Seth,not in Adam, so we have less 130 years here;
2-Jews do not consider their 40 years of wandering in the desert, from Egypt to the promised land;
3-They do not consider also their shameful 70 years of captivity in Babylon.

This explanation shows why the Jews calendar has a difference of 240 years as was above exposed. What other explanation could there be that would justify this difference of exactly 240 years?

I would like to know

The Devil took JESUS up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth Him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; And said unto JESUS; "All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it". Luke 4:6

Was it /is it true? Do you believe in what the Devil said to JESUS? The Devil is the father of lie, understand?John 8:44-45. Who delivered the kingdoms of the world to him?

What the Devil shewed to JESUS was not delivered to the Devil, he USURPED.

The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy... John 10:10

[oseas3]

Matthew 24: 21-22
21 For then shall be great TRIBULATION, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time(this current time), no, nor ever shall be.
22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. (The theory of being caught before this event of "days shall be shortened" is wrong, it's a nonsense).

Isaiah 26:20-21
20 Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment (seven years), until the indignation be overpast.
21 For, behold, the Lord cometh out of His place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.

Romans 2:6-11
6 GOD will render to every MAN according to his deeds:
7 To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, ETERNAL LIFE:
8 But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,
9 Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;
10 But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:
11 For there is no respect of persons with GOD.

Revelation 11:15 and 18
15 ... The kingdoms OF THIS WORLD are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of His Christ; and He shall reign for ever and ever.
18 And the nations were(will be)angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be Judged(Daniel 12:2. Take a look), and that thou should give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and should destroy them which destroy the earth.

To compare, here's two similar terrible situations

Psalm 34:19-Many are the afflictions of the righteous:but the Lord delivers him out of them all.
Acts 14:22-We must through much tribulation enter into the Kingdom of GOD.

The KING of DARKNESS, the Devil, showed to JESUS all the kingdoms of the world, the glory of them, and said: All will I give thee, if thou fall down and worship me.Matthew 4:8-9.

Revelation13:1 & 15:
1 I stood upon the sand of the sea(John was a citzen of Israel), and saw a(MAN)Beast rise up out of the sea(Gentile nations), having 7 heads,10 horns, upon his HORNS 10 crowns(CROWNS UPON HORNS?), and upon his heads a NAME of blasphemy.

15 And he-MAN Beast of earth-Re.13:11-a false messiah-John 5:43-47, had power to give life unto the Beast's image,that the image should speak, who worships not the image must be killed.

Daniel 3:2-20
The KING sent to gather the princes, governors, the captains, the judges, the counsellors, all the rulers of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the image he had set up. They stood before the image and an herald cried: To you is commanded, O people, NATIONS, and languages, that at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the image the king has set up: Whoso falls not down and worships shall be cast into the burning fiery furnace. But Shadrach,Meshach,Abednego, O king, have not regarded thee, they serve not thy gods, nor worship the image you has set up. So in his rage and fury the KING commanded to bring them, and said: Is it true, O Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego, do not ye serve my gods, nor worship the IMAGE I have set up? When you hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, psaltery, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the image I have made; well: if not, ye shall be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace; who is that GOD that shall deliver you out of my hands?

O king, our GOD whom we serve is able to deliver us from furnace, thy hands, and we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the image you have set up.

That said, Get ready
