Four river heads, four angels- "River Euphrates" (1 of 2)
Isaiah refers to the creation of man. So path to righteousness is already set where the word of God sets Adam as a double for the Man component in the everlasting covenant. The first Adam is earthy, the form of which creates a pit of sorts.Isaiah refers it to 'the hole of the pit whence ye are digged'.
"Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the Lord: look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged." Jesus was buried in a 'new' rock hewn. tomb. Joseph was foreknown so he does as and when his service is needed, and Evangelist Matthew writes,"And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock."(Matt.27:40). Those who follow after righteousness have been called before the worlds began,- they are hewn out of the rock which marks their antecedents begin with Zion. In short realities of heaven and earth are framed by the word of God.
The inaugural vision of the risen Christ explains his Alpha Omega aspect. " I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death." (Re.1:18) so he is in control. This brings us to the great commission and he declares, "All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth."(Matt.26:18)
Now we shall go back to the significance of the River Euphrates. Firstly who holds the key to the bottomless pit? The seven stars were shown in the vision, "The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches."(1:20). The multiples of angels in seven according to the lexicon of the Spirit indicative of the unity of the Spirit. When the Lamb breaks open a seal it has consequences on the earth. Thus the single measurement with which the holy city of God is measured becomes the standard in the Man component. He refers to Jesus Christ the Word become flesh. (Re.21:17)
