What does Revelation 14:6-7 accomplish in terms of defining?

What “Filled with the Spirit” Looks Like

Exodus 31:3“I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner

of workmanship”

Exodus 35:31 is a second witness to this explanation of four concepts in order:

– Wisdom– Understanding– Knowledge– Workmanship

Translation

Wisdom Fear of the Lord (Job 28:28, Psalms 111:10, Proverbs 9:10; 15:33, Isaiah 33:6)

Understanding Departing from evil and doing right for God’s glory

(Job 28:28, Proverbs 13:15, Psalms 111:10, 1Corinthians 10:31) Knowledge Judgment

(Genesis 2:9, Leviticus 4:23, Deuteronomy 1:39, 1Samuel 2:3, 2Chronicles 1:10, Job 21:22; 22:13, Psalms 119:66, Ezekiel 20:4, John 7:5, Philippians 1:9)

Workmanship Service, Good works(Exodus 31:4-5, 1Chronoicles 28:21, Ephesians 2:10)

Established Two-step

Wisdom Fear of the Lord (intellectual) (Job 28:28, Psalms 111:10, Proverbs 9:10; 15:33, Isaiah 33:6)

Understanding Departing from evil and doing right for God’s glory (practical)

(Job 28:28, Proverbs 13:15, Psalms 111:10, 1Corinthians 10:31) Knowledge Judgment (intellectual)


Workmanship Service, Good works (practical)(Exodus 31:4-5, 1Chronoicles 28:21, Ephesians 2:10)

The 3-1 Perspective

Wisdom (intellectual) Fear of the Lord (Job 28:28, Psalms 111:10, Proverbs 9:10; 15:33, Isaiah 33:6)

Understanding (intellectual) Departing from evil and doing right for God’s glory

(Job 28:28, Proverbs 13:15, Psalms 111:10, 1Corinthians 10:31) Knowledge (intellectual) Judgment


Workmanship (practical) Service, Good works(Exodus 31:4-5, 1Chronoicles 28:21, Ephesians 2:10)


Gospel is 1• There is only one gospel (Gal 1:8). Multiple

components of any gospel explanation compose a single united whole.

Gospel is 2• There are only two visible gospel

fundamentals – intellectual followed by practical. These are one.


Gospel is 3• There is a reward for those who look at the three gospel

definitions by faith. Taking a single step beyond the visible, one sees three established gospel fundamentals. The first and third are essentially the same, so there are still only two gospel fundamentals. These are one.

Gospel is 4• The First Angel’s message and the description of the

Spirit’s infilling are four parts. But as we have seen, these are really three or two, but ultimately one.

Richest Perspective

(Job 28:28, Proverbs 13:15, Psalms 111:10, 1Corinthians 10:31) Knowledge (intellectual) Judgment

The Godhead

The Word on Perspectives

THE FATHER IS ALL THE FULNESS OF THE GODHEAD BODILY, AND IS INVISIBLE TO MORTAL SIGHT. THE SON IS ALL THE FULNESS OF THE GODHEAD MANIFESTED. THE WORD OF GOD DECLARES HIM TO BE "THE EXPRESS IMAGE OF HIS PERSON." "GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE." HERE IS SHOWN THE PERSONALITY OF THE FATHER. THE COMFORTER THAT CHRIST PROMISED TO SEND AFTER HE ASCENDED TO HEAVEN, IS THE SPIRIT IN ALL THE FULNESS OF THE GODHEAD, MAKING MANIFEST THE POWER OF DIVINE GRACE TO ALL WHO RECEIVE AND BELIEVE IN CHRIST AS A PERSONAL SAVIOUR. THERE ARE THREE LIVING PERSONS OF THE HEAVENLY TRIO; IN THE NAME OF THESE THREE GREAT POWERS--THE FATHER, THE SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT-- THOSE WHO RECEIVE CHRIST BY LIVING FAITH ARE BAPTIZED, AND THESE POWERS WILL CO-OPERATE WITH THE OBEDIENT SUBJECTS OF HEAVEN IN THEIR EFFORTS TO LIVE THE NEW LIFE IN CHRIST. {EV 614-615}

The Holy Spirit is the “presence of God.”

Rom 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

1Co 2:11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.

First appearance of “presence of the Lord”

Fear

2Th 1:8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;

“True reverence for God is inspired by a sense of His infinite greatness and a realization of His presence” Ed, 244.

truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.

Give Glory

Hand of the Lord, Spirit of the Lord

Eze 37:1 The hand of the LORD was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones, Eze 3:14 So the spirit lifted me up, and took me away, and I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit; but the hand of the LORD was strong upon me. Job 26:13 By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.

Hand of the Lord, Spirit of the Lord

Psa 139:7-10 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.

On the Right Hand of God

Mar 16:19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.

1Pe 3:22 [Jesus Christ] Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.

On the Throne of GodRev 3:21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

Eze 39:21 And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them.

Php 2:10-11 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue

should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
