    Analysis- The Revelation "Thone /Temple" (2 of 4)

    The temple is characterised by angel who receives command from the throne, indicating the divine Will of the Father shall be fulfilled by the Son. It explains "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth."(Gen.1.1)

    The angel who guides St John necessitates the tag, 'another', as in Rev.8.3-5 And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer" " and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake."Altar, "I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,"(9.13)

    Seven trumpets

    Before the seventh angel sounding we have the four angels in charge of the river Euphrates."which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men./And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them."(9.15-16). What are the four horns? They angels having power over the waters, the four winds (7.1) and over the fire,"And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire."(Rev.14.18) Lastly we have four angels over the harvest (14.15-20) The Command number Four refers to Jesus Christ the Word became flesh.

    The Ark of his Testament

    144,000 on mount Sion make up the ark of his testament (Rev.14.1). Re.11.19 "And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.

    Rev.15.5-6 "And after that I looked, and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened:/And the seven angels came out of the temple, having the seven plagues, clothed in pure and white linen,

    15.8 "And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power; and no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels
