"And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever."
John's testimony is not second hand but what he heard with his ears. Volume of a believer called under the covenant is not three dimensional but must include time as well. That is what the God document signifies. Comparing Greek Aramaic and Hebrew texts are well and good but without the element of faith accepting the many promises of God it is like taking an online course in swimming without ever hitting the water. Amazing, isn't it? "Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth," is merely on paper without changing your life accordingly. "For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies./These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man."(Matt.15:19-20) This is what Jesus taught as well lived during his earthly ministry. It is an example for us to live by. He was among men but his heart was in heavenly places. How do we know it? Jesus leaving his anonymous years at Nazareth he settles down in Capernaum, according to the word of God, and Evangelist Matthew says," From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."(4:17). He saw the same light others saw from where sat, in heavenly place, and the sign was unmistakeable, "The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.." This is what volume of a child of God signals. Led by the Spirit the word of God takes on an exceptional clarity, as some one rapping on the door and that cannot be put of. "For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."(Matt.6:21)
