The reason why this is one like the son of man, and not just the son of man is because it represents a person or group of people that are like Christ. This can better be described as a multitudinous Christ (a group of believers who act and speak like the Lord Jesus Christ). There are seven kingdom visions in the book of Revelation. Each of these visions show various details of what the Kingdom will be like. They also show the different jobs that the righteous will get to do as we prepare for the Kingdom and as we enjoy being in the Kingdom. In this first vision, the image of the Son of Man is introduced to us.

15 Second Kingdom Vision The Throne in Heaven Revelation 4 & 5 In this vision, we once again have the Son of Man, even the Lord Jesus Christ. This time, he is foreseen as sitting on the throne in glory. The nations are at peace and the Saints in Christ surround him. There is a scroll in this vision which has seven seals and as each seal is broken, more of the details are shown. Vv. 1-5 The twenty-four Elders 31.What did Christ show John? 32.What did John see while he was in the spirit? 33.What was around the throne? 34. The elders that were sitting and clothed in white raiment with crowns of gold on their head, represent a special group of people. They were wearing white raiment which refers to the righteousness of the Saints. The crowns that they were wearing were made of gold which refers to tried faith. Who are the elders? (hint: search for the elders and look for their song in chapter 5) 35.What came out of the throne? 36.There were 7 lamps of fire burning before the throne. What did they represent? California Christadelphian Kids Camp Junior Workbook

The cherubim in Ezekiel also had four faces. The faces listed there were the lion, the ox, the man and the eagle. In addition, according to Isaiah 6, the 6 winged creature was part of the seraphim who also stated the phrase holy, holy, holy. In this picture in Revelation then, we have not only the angels, but also a picture of the glorified and perfected saints of God. These people are redeemed and set aside to inherit places in the Kingdom of God which will be soon set up on this earth. 40. Where else in the Bible does it talk about these four faces?

17 Vv Worshipping the Lord who sits on the Throne 44.What happens when the beast gives glory & honor to him that sits on the throne? Rev. 5:1-4 Who Can Open the Scroll THE 11 TH VERSE OF THIS CHAPTER IS A WONDERFUL VERSE TO DISCUSS AN IDEA WHICH MAY OR MAY NOT BE FAMILIAR TO YOU: GOD MANIFESTATION. GOD HAS CHOSEN EACH OF US TO TAKE ON HIS NAME AND TO LIVE BY HIS WORD. IF WE ARE ABLE TO DO THAT, THEN WE ARE CHOOSING TO REFLECT OR MANIFEST HIM. THE PERFECT EXAMPLE OF GOD MANIFESTATION IS THE LORD JESUS CHRIST BECAUSE HE LIVED A PERFECT LIFE AND SHOWED GOD S WILL WITH EVERYTHING THAT HE SAID AND DID. BECAUSE CHRIST WAS PERFECT, THERE ARE MANY PHRASES IN THE BIBLE THAT SEEM LIKE THEY COULD BOTH BE REFERRING TO CHRIST OR GOD. IN VERSE 11, IT SAYS FOR THOU HAST CREATED ALL THINGS AND FOR THY PLEASURE THEY ARE AND WERE CREATED. THIS IS NOT SAYING THAT GOD CREATED ALL THINGS, BUT RATHER, THAT ALL OF CREATION WAS DONE BECAUSE OF THIS IDEA THAT GOD WANTS A PEOPLE WHO WILL MANIFEST HIM, GLORIFYING HIM AT ALL TIMES. THE FACT THAT IT IS FOR CHRIST S PLEASURE THAT ALL THINGS WERE CREATED IS TRUE BECAUSE IT IS GOD S WILL THAT CHRIST AND ALL OF THE RIGHTEOUS SAINTS (THOSE WHO HAVE MIRRORED GOD TO THE BEST OF THEIR ABILITY - THOSE WHO HAVE MANIFESTED GOD), GET TO ENJOY THE EARTH THAT WAS CREATED BY OUR HEAVENLY FATHER. 45.What was in the right hand of him that sat on the throne and what was it sealed with? 46.What did the angel proclaim with a loud voice? 47.Who was not able to open the book or to even look on it? 48.

It is commonly known that the Lamb represents the Lord Jesus Christ. In the 6 th verse, we read of the lamb after having been slain, which is Christ after his crucifixion and resurrection. It reads that he had 7 horns and 7 eyes. We have already looked at the fact that the number 7 represents perfection. So what are the horns and eyes? Horns in scripture represent power and eyes represent vision and knowledge. Therefore, the resurrected lamb has perfect power and perfect knowledge. More common terms used for this are omnipotence and omniscience. The lamb with 7 horns & 7 eyes represents the Multitudinous Christ, which is made up of the Lord Jesus Christ and all those who are redeemed (the glorified Saints).

27 The Angels Sound the Trumpets The 7 th Seal covers the time from the overthrow of Constantine in AD 324 until the Return of Christ. In this Seal, we have the 7 trumpets, each representing warnings of coming judgments. Revelation 8:1-9:21 At this point in his vision, John sees the opening of the seventh seal.

The second vial took place in 1798 when Britain used their fleet to take over Napoleon, the French Commander, causing his army to be isolated in Europe and to lose ground in the Middle East.

This freedom allowed for the founder of the Christadelphians, Brother John Thomas, to instruct others and eventually create the name Christadelphian in We do not know the end date of this vial, but we do know that it will be soon.

47 Pagan Rome and Her Wickedness Revelation 17 In the Bible there are two types of women - a righteous woman and a wicked woman. The righteous woman describes the ecclesia of the saints. The wicked woman, is called a whore in Revelation, and describes the churches that go against God. Instead of following Him, they come up with their own religions and do not follow the Truth as described in the Bible. In Revelation, the religion that is called the whore is Roman Catholicism.

There was only a short time period that this happened though because the Gothics (a ruling nation) soon decided to follow after the Roman Catholic Religion once again. Therefore, this rulership is of the seven and goes into perdition. Marginal Note: wonder: to admire or to think highly of It is known that the city that sits on seven mountains is the city of Rome.

At judgment, there are two books that will be used to judge those that know the truth and are responsible. The 1st book has each person s works written in it.

New Jerusalem California Christadelphian Kids Camp Junior Workbook

60 Vv The Description of the Bride It is interesting that John was told he would see the lamb s wife, and yet he was shown the city Jerusalem. This is because the holy city is the lamb s wife. In the next few verses we have Jerusalem explained as a symbol of what the bride of Christ will be. The lessons we can learn from the description of the city teach us how to live our lives as we wait for the return of Christ to set up the Kingdom on this earth. 388.Who came unto John? _ 389.What was the angel going to show John? 390.What was John shown when he was carried away in the spirit?

The entire city is the temple that is filled with the glory of God and the manifestation of that glory (the Lord Jesus Christ). We are told in 1 Corinthians 6:19 that our body is the temple. We also must be filled with God s glory as we try our hardest to manifest (to mirror) God s glory by doing His will every day. 409.What 3 things would never enter into the city? 410.Who would be able to enter the city at any time?
