Revelation Unsealed Improvised Talk Version 146
The Somewhere Spoken Mix Version Sixty

The book of Revelation proclaims there is a scroll that can be unsealed (Rev Chapter 5:1-5) by measuring (Rev 11:1, Eze 40:3) the temple, altar and worshipers until there is a Victory of the White Horse, Lamb and Word of God (Rev 17:14, Rev 15: 7, Rev 19:11-21), a New Heaven and New Jerusalem (Rev Chapters 21 and 22, 2Pe 3:13), and a New Covenant (Heb 8: 7-13, Jer 31:31-34).  I believe the Gospel is a metaphoric resource for that measurement, providing a map of our Spiritual connection to the world.  Jesus Christ himself declared:  "I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter things hidden since the creation of the world" (Mt 13:35, Ps 78:2).

I also believe the Holy Spirit who created all things, (what is seen has been created by what is unseen Ro 1: 20-23, Heb 11: 1-3), has left us a metaphoric map of creation in the Gospel that contains more insight than the commonly accepted literal descriptions. Where psychologists and scientists are declaring what is seen in the world and re-describing it in their own vocabulary, I find Gospel measurements to be more effective and visual, allowing us to place Biblical stories and insights upon the objects to be measured, providing more light and insight into territories that would otherwise be dark and only partially defined by literal descriptions.

What is perceived as reality one day is a changing concept and can be proven quite a different reality on another day.  For example, who thought man could fly across the sky like a bird in  planes that weigh several tons, or that audio and video waves could  travel invisibly through space and provide TV pictures that replicate faraway places with such realism you would think you were there, or that  many gigabits of data could be contained on microchips as small as the  tip of your finger, that we would communicate through cell phones that  bounce off satellites in space, or that we would have computers that  allow us to search entire world libraries of books through the internet  in an instant.

Therefore, I  take that leap of faith the philosopher Kierkegaard wrote of and believe there is another dimension unique from the one immediately perceived by our senses, and that it is simply illogical  that this world and all its wonders were created by chance. I  also delight in the fear of the power of the Holy Spirit who is the Lord  (Isaiah 11: 2), and realize along with joy there is great  suffering in the world, my peace being established in the faith there is  something within us that is immortal and independent of our bodies, not found in the natural elements of the  powerful wind, earthquake or fire, that is the gentle whisper, that still  small voice, the word of God we speak that shines on in the darkness, and the darkness cannot overcome it (1 Kings 19:11-12, Rev 19:11-16, Jn 1:1-5).  

“Here I am, it is written about me in the scroll
I have come to do your will O God” (Heb 10:7, Isa 11, Ro 15:12)
To proclaim the New Order and the New Covenant (Heb 8: 7-13, Jer 31:31-34)
To unseal the scroll in the book of Revelation (Rev 5:1-5)
To measure the temple of God and the altar
And to count the worshipers there (Rev 11:1, Eze 40:3-4)
Until there is a Victory of the Word of God who is the Lamb and White Horse 
(Rev 17:14, Rev 15: 7, Rev 19:11-21)
A New Heaven, New Earth, and New Jerusalem (Rev Chapters 21 and 22, 2Pe 3:13)
And a change of the priesthood, from the order of Aaron
To the order of Melchizedek (Hebrews Chapter 7, Acts 13:20-23)

(Lk 4:18-19)
"The Spirit of the Lord is on me
Because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor
He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners 
And recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed
To proclaim the year of the Lord's favor."
