Sounds interesting....Can you give us an example, say with a comparison of Isaiah 47 with Revelation 18?
Revelation Chapter 18
1~~After these things {next in chronological order},
I saw another angel who had great authority {exousia}
{RBT says this is the very powerful King of Arms of the
Angelic College of Heralds}
descending from heaven;
and the earth was illuminated {photizo} by means of his glory
{the elect angels apparently already have their equivalent
of their resurrection bodies or rewards for eternity}.
{Note: This angel was apparently a great winner angel in the pre-historic (pre-human) angelic conflict. He also wears a winner's garment that glows so bright, it illuminates the earth. Bible doctrine is the Light of the world. This is a very mature, doctrine filled angel.}
{Note: The instrumental case is normally the case used to express 'means'. But when the means is accompanied with the implication of the origin, then the ablative is used - here the ablative of ek and that should be translated here 'by means of' his glory.}
2-3~~Then he {the king of arms} shouted/proclaimed {krazo}
with a powerful voice, saying, "Fallen, fallen, is Babylon the great
{the destruction of the ecumenical religion of the Tribulation}.
In fact, it has become the habitation {katoiketerion}
of demons {daimon - fallen angels}
and is the prison {phulake} for every unclean spirit {pneuma}
{means the demons cannot leave the geographical area even
though all the humans are dead}.
And is the sentry post for every unclean
{unclean is the term for certain birds that the Mosaic Law
prohibited the Jews from eating}
and hated bird
{hated birds are like vultures which are despised by most humans
-the 'feast of the vultures' will be coming up in the next few
chapters}. 3~~
Because all the nations have drunk
from the wine of the passion of her fornication
{spiritual fornication - life outside the Divine Dynasphere and
involvement in the cosmic system},
furthermore, the kings of the earth fornicated with her
{aristocracy will lead the way - they lust for power and the religious
system gives it to them},
also the merchants of the earth
became {exceedingly} rich from the power {cosmic Dynasphere}
of her sensuality/luxury/'sensuality and luxury'
{those businessmen who will wear the mark of the beast will
become extremely wealthy by playing footsy with this religion}."
{Note: RBT says there are two types of angels. Those who have been disembodied an are evil spirits and those who have bodies - such as those in the genetic attack in Genesis 6. The fallen angels of Genesis 6 are still in prison in Tartarus today and the Nephilim (half-angels, half- human) are in Torments.}
{Note: Phulake is the word for prison. RBT says that some demons are restricted to certain geographical areas. In the Old Testament, the idolaters would go to places like groves and set up idols and 'call' for their 'gods' to come. Apparently, human volition is a factor in the calling of demons to an area. Here we have the center of the false religion of the Tribulation in 'Babylon' (Rome). Rome will be nuked and all the humans killed, but the demons are left there unable to leave until God permits them.}
{Verses 4-5: Mandate of the King of Arms}
4-5~~Then I {John} heard another voice of the same kind {alla}
{this time the Officer of Arms - 2nd in command to the King of Arms
-system of Protocol in heaven is still being demonstrated he would
also be a Seraph rank angel}
from heaven, saying,
"Come out from her {principal of separation from religion},
my people {meaning the command is to believers only},
in order that you might not share in her sins
{two ways to do so: guilt by association and guilt by articipation},
and that you might not receive punishment from her plagues
{means to share in her three types of divine discipline:
1) Judgment by pain - 1st 5 bowl judgments - Revelation 16:1-11
2) Judgment by death - 7th bowl judgment - Rev 16:17- 21
3) Judgment by finesse judgement - above - Revelation 17:16-18,
18:2-8}. 5~~
Because her sins have piled up as high as heaven
{means that sins have reached the point of saturation - if God did
not destroy the religion, the religion might wipe out the entire
human race - so to protect humanity, this religion is removed by
finesse judgment},
therefore, God has remembered her crimes/iniquities {adikema}."
{Verses 6-8: Imprecatory Prayer of Mature Believers of the Tribulation - Law of Retribution and Law of Double Punishment}
6-8~~"Give back {apodidomi} to her {ecumenical religion}
as she has given {apodidomi}
{persecution and execution of believers - the law of retribution}.
In fact, pay back double {diploo}
- according to her deeds {judgment by pain plus judgment by death} - in the drinking cup {poterion}
which she has 'mixed' {kerannumi} . . .
mix for her . . . a double portion {diplous}. 7 ~~
To the degree that she glorifies herself
{arrogance - motivational evil - upsets the evil political party},
and lived sensually {lasciviousness - functional evil},
to that same degree give her torture {basanismos}
{this is an 'urgent request in prayer' to return her persecution with
her own pain}
and grief/'divine judgment' {penthos}.
Because she thinks/says in her 'right lobe'/heart {organ of thought}, " {hoti - direct thought follows} I am enthroned a queen,
I am not a widow {see Isaiah 47:8 - a 'widow of this day lost her
power and with a loss of her children also was abandoned - so this
means religion losing it's influence and maybe even its 'children'/
new converts},
consequently, I will never see grief/'divine judgment'. 8~~
Therefore/'because of this'
in one day her plagues
{the three judgments against ecumenical religion}
will 'arrive on the scene {suddenly}' {heko} . . .
death {judgment by death - protects the rest of the human race},
both grief {self-induced misery}
and famine {economic disaster};
furthermore, she will be 'consumed by fire' { katakaio en pur}
{utterly consumed by fire - a picture of a tactical nuclear attack
on the religious headquarters - code name Babylon/Rome}
because Omnipotent/powerful {ischuros} . . .
{is} the Lord God Who judged her.
{Note: This is an imprecatory prayer. RBT says they are NOT authorized in the Church Age. Our principal is 'judge not'. But in the Tribulation under correct circumstances, imprecatory prayers are ok.}
{Note: Apodidomi is used twice in verse 6 - first in the 1st aorist and then next in the 2nd aorist tense. This is found only in the Koine type Greek and is very powerful.}
{Note: Erchomai is the normal Greek word for coming. Heko means to 'arrive on the scene' and implies a very quick surprise visit. The ecumenical religion feels secure and will be greatly surprised by the attack of the evil political power. This is the finesse judgment of God for one evil to take out another evil.}
{Verses 9-19: Reaction of Public Opinion}
{Reaction of the Rulers of the World}
9~~Then the rulers of the world {from verse 3 above}
who fornicated {spiritual fornication: apostasy}
and lived sensually with her, shall weep and mourn,
when they observe the smoke of her conflagration
{purosis - here meaning destruction by tactical nuclear blast}.
{Note: Purosis means a fiery trial. Here RBT says it indicates a tactical nuclear attack on the center of the ecumenical religion - codenamed Babylon and probably centered in Rome.}
{Reaction of the Merchants and Transportation People of the World}
10~~And because of the fear {phobos} of her torment {basanismos}
{fear of nuclear contamination from the blast in verse 9}
they stood at a distance, saying,
"Woe/OOUUUUUUUIIIII {ouai}, Woe/OOUUUUUUUIIIII {ouai}
to that great city - Babylon {Rome, 1 Peter 5:13} . . .
that powerful city;
because, in 'one hour'/'a short period of time'
{mia hora - emphasizes suddenness of nuclear attack}
your judgement {krisis} has come.
{Note: Ouai is an onomatopoeic word (the sound describes the meaning - OOUUUUUUUIIIII). In Greek dramas, the actors would beat their chests and yell OUAI OUAI to describe the mourning in 'painful sounding words'.}
{Verses 11-16: Wailings of Merchants with the Fall of the Religion}
11-13~~ The merchants {emporos} of the earth {businessman}
both weep and mourn/'intensely agonize' {pentheo} over her
{weeping over the loss of their source of great profits - religion}
because no one buys
{agorazo - from the word for 'market' to 'buy in a market'}
their cargo/merchandise {gomos} any more:
{destruction of ecumenical religion kills the world market
for luxury items} 12~~
cargoes of gold, silver, precious gems and pearls;
fine linen, purple, silk, and scarlet cloth;
and every sort of 'citron wood'
{N. Africa citrus tree prized for the colors in its grain -
manufactured furniture from it};
the articles of every category of ivory, expensive wood,
bronze, iron, and marble; 13~~
cargoes of cinnamon, and spice, of incense,
myrrh and frankincense {perfume of the ancient world};
of wine and olive oil, and fine flour and wheat; cattle and sheep,
horses and carriages {luxury ways of transportation};
both bodies and souls of mankind
{slaves to serve the wealthy classes}."
