Revelation 9:1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. 2 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.
The heart of Adam is the bottomless pit. Our carnal heart is the bottomless pit. Only Jesus Christ has the keys to your heart. Only Jesus Christ can open your heart and replace your heart with His heart.
The heart of Jesus Christ is the Holy Spirit.
When Jesus Christ opens your heart, things start to happen in your life. Jesus Christ is becoming lord of your soul by conquering it.
The heart of Adam is not saved, it is replaced with the life of the Holy Spirit.
The heart of Adam is a dead heart.
Revelation 9:11 And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.
Jesus Christ is the angel of the bottomless pit because he goes in to conquer. Jesus goes into our Adamic heart and brings life to dead Adam, by replacing the Adamic heart with his heart.
The heart of Jesus Christ is the Holy Spirit.
Revelation 11:7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
The beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit is not the angel of the bottomless pit.
The beast here is the beast of false religion. It comes out of the earth(Adamic man).
And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. (Rev 13:11)
This beast out of the Adamic heart looks like a lamb(good religion) but has the voice of the dragon(satan).
Revelation 17:8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
Adamic man is not written in the book of life. Adamic man is influenced by the dragon. Adamic man needs his heart replaced. The replacement is the heart of Jesus Christ. The new heart is the Holy Spirit.
The soul of mankind has an Adamic heart, run by the beast of the earth, powered by the dragon.
The soul of mankind is born with a new heart in Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit is the souls new heart, love, and life.
Revelation 20:1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
Jesus Christ has the key to the heart of man. The chain is truth.
Revelation 20:3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
Jesus Christ casts the dragon back into the Adamic dead heart, shuts the Adamic heart up, seals that Adamic dead heart, that it can deceive you no more.
Your soul's new heart is the living heart of Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit in your soul.
Spiritually the bottomless pit is something.
The heart of Adamic man fits.
Jeremiah 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
So are you saying that Jeremiah 17:9 has to do with the bottomless pit??
What are you saying?
And does the Scripture say that the bottomless pit is something spiritual?
I read the whole book as symbols of spiritual reality.
The dragon is a symbol
The beasts are symbols of spiritual reality
The Adamic heart is dead.
The heart of man is wicked above all things who can know it?
We're deceived by our own wicked heart.
"I read the whole book as symbols of spiritual reality."
Where does this hermeneutic stop, though? There is no textual restraint.
With your approach one can literally (pun intended) make the text mean whatever one wants it to mean. In which case the text becomes practically meaningless.
What OP is doing is spiritual indiscipline at its finest..
Correct, except we have the rest of the Bible to check against.
Adam being dead is a reality.
We have a carnal mind and a spiritual mind Romans 8:6.
Jesus Christ brings us the Holy Spirit is a reality
Yes, a symbol of literal Satan (the Serpent)
The Beasts are symbolic of Nations or World powers (See Daniel)
Heaven, earth, and sea can be read as three parts of man.
The sea is the lowest beasteal part of man.
The earth is the soul of man, neither good or evil, but influenced by the beast system.
Heaven is the spiritual part of man. Our spirituality is our heaven.
The two beasts come right out of mankind. Dead Adam is influenced by the dragon. Mankind influenced by the dragon makes beasteal systems, called the world.
We are not of this world, we are heaven dwellers in the Book of Revelation.
And what guides you to read the whole Book of Revelation as symbols of spiritual reality?
Why wouldn't you do that with the other 65 books?
Is this how the Holy Spirit has illumined the Scriptures to you?
Using your own words, it seems that your own heart is deceiving you in your "spiritual interpretations". The "Adamic heart" is not even mentioned in Revelation
Great questions.
The book is called the Revelation of Jesus Christ, it means the unveiling of Jesus Christ.
John was given the vision in spiritual symbols.
Revelation 1:1 and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:
Revelation 1:10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,
Just Revelation. I've followed Jesus Christ for 4 decades, but ignored Revelation. I ignored it because I didn't understand it. The only version I heard was a carnal physical interpretation.
I'm not doing anything new. The idealist/spiritual interpretation is historically how Revelation wad read since it came out.
