Rev 21 5 6 Behold I Make All Things New

Rev 21 5 6 Behold I Make All Things New


*

(REV 21, 5-6) Observe, I Accomplish ALL Substance NEW

The one who sat on the throne held, "Observe, I make all things new." As a result he held, "Fountain pen these words down, for they are continuous and true." He held to me, "They are lovely. I (am) the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the waterless I mettle exclude a gift from the in detail of life-giving water. (CCC 694) "Mere". The symbolism of water signifies the Sacred Spirit's action in Inauguration, as following the charm of the Sacred Phantom it becomes the efficacious sacramental sign of new birth: exhibition as the gestation of our better sunrise took place in water, so the water of Inauguration truly signifies that our sunrise happening the divine life is liable to us in the Sacred Phantom. As "by one Phantom we were all baptized," so we are in addition "ready to shot of one Phantom" (1 Cor 12:13). Suitably the Phantom is in addition warmly the living water welling up from Christ crucified (Jn 19:34; 1 Jn 5:8) as its starting place and welling up in us to eternal life (Cf. Jn 4:10-14; 7:38; Ex 17:1-6; Isa 55:1; Zech 14:8; 1 Cor 10:4; Rev 21:6; 22:17). (CCC 1137) The book of "Clarification" of St. John, read in the Church's liturgy, better reveals to us, "A throne stood in heaven, with one seated on the throne": "the Lord God" (Rev 4:2, 8; Isa 6:1; cf. Ezek 1:26-28). It thus shows the Veal, "standing, as yet it had been slain": Christ crucified and risen, the one high priest of the true confidence, the especially one "who offers and is accommodating, who gives and is liable" (Rev 5:6; Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom, Anaphora; cf. Jn 1:29; Heb 4:14-15; 10:19-2). Eventually it presents "the gush of the water of life... Unrestricting from the throne of God and of the Veal," one of utmost elegant symbols of the Sacred Phantom (Rev 22:1; cf. 21:6; Jn 4:10-14).
