    Rev.14.13-20 "Throne /Temple" (1 of 2)

    We shall examine three verses from the same chapter which is from the POV of the Word was God. In v.13 we have the Spirit referencing the everlasting Covenant."And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them." The following two verses are pendent on it. There are two temples one before the throne where the 24 elders and four beasts rest not day and night giving glory to God. Their connection to the earth is symbolized by the 'golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.'

    "And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud."(14.15) where does the cloud come in unless there is vast expanse of sky between the two temples? "And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach" This angel is flyin while the Lamb is standing on the mount Sion.

    "And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle."in vv,15-19 the Spirit mentions four angels in which one has power over fire. "And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe."(v.18) We already came across the four angels," And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,/Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates."(9.13-14) In order to understand why the four living creatures moved as one,"Their wings were joined one to another; they turned not when they went; they went every one straight forward."

    The right hand of God explains,"And they had the hands of a man" (1.8
