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.
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,
But what John is seeing and hearing all have specific meanings that must be understood within the context of a 1st Century, 2nd Temple Jew (which John was).
The goal of a healthy Biblical hermeneutic is to extract the intention and meaning the author was trying to communicate, not whatever the reader wants the the words to mean.
I don't read time into Revelation. Spiritual concepts are for all time.
Revelation 1:3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.
The time of Revelation was right then, and it is right now, and it will be in the future.
The Revelation of Jesus Christ is spiritual happenings right now.
It's an exciting way to read the book and receive the Revelation as spiritual reality.
"It's an exciting way to read the book and receive the Revelation as spiritual reality."
This is just wrong in so many ways
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.
"The idealist/spiritual interpretation is historically how Revelation wad read since it came out."
This is a completely false statement and a complete lie. Your approach is undisciplined and it makes no sense that Revelation would be read differently than the other 65 books.
"idealist/spiritual interpretation" borders on mysticism and can be demonic.
Although there is symbolism throughout the Book of Revelation, the symbols are synonymous with how symbols are used in the rest of the Bible. NOT in the way you are making things up. You are treading down a dangerous path with what you are doing.
The idealist interpretation is not new, it is historic.
I've been in spiritual warfare for 4 decades, I don't fear the demonic, I triumph over it.
The church today might be teaching fear, I like winning. Jesus Christ has overcome, and we overcome through Him.
The Revelation of Jesus Christ is a book of victory.
Revelation 1:3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.
Revelation 22:7 Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.
It's a spiritual victory now thing
