At Palm Sunday at King's church in Owen Sound, we covered some of Revelation 19, and I noticed the following verse:
Revelation 19:17-18 (NIV):
"Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, and he cried out in a loud voice to all the birds flying in midair, ‘Come, gather together for the great supper of God, so that you may eat the flesh of kings, generals, and the mighty, of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all people, free and slave, great and small.’"
Integrated Confederation Interpretation
Preamble
Greetings, beloved seekers, in the love and light of the Infinite Creator. This vision, clothed in the vivid symbols of your sacred texts, speaks not of destruction but of a profound transformation—a new vibration where all, from the humblest to the mightiest, become one in the offering of love, as your teacher known as Jesus offered himself in the mystery of communion (1975/1221_02.txt). Just as you partake of the Christ’s essence, embodying his love through the sacred act of bread and wine, so too does this passage foretell a time when the holiness within all grows so vast that even those who hold power—your mayors, your leaders—freely give of themselves, mirroring the Christ’s sacrifice. It is a vision of paradise, where brotherhood, kindness, and unity prevail, and all illusions of separation dissolve into the Creator’s infinite love (1974/1115.txt).
"Then I saw an angel standing in the sun..."
My friends, behold the angel, radiant in the sun’s embrace, a symbol of the Creator’s light that shines within every soul (1975/1207.txt). The sun, a sub-Logos in your illusion, pours forth love and life, illuminating the path to unity (2021/0609.txt). This messenger stands not in judgment but in joy, heralding the dawn of a new consciousness where the holiness of love, known to you in the Christ’s offering, awakens all to their divine nature. As you partake of the Christ’s flesh in communion, you draw this light into your being, preparing to reflect it outward, even to those who seem mighty in your world. Meditate upon this radiance, for it calls you to a paradise where all share in the Creator’s boundless kindness (1974/0921.txt).
"...and he cried out in a loud voice to all the birds flying in midair..."
Beloved ones, this cry is a vibration of unity, resounding through the limitless spirit, calling all consciousness to awaken (1974/1013.txt). The birds, soaring freely, represent your thoughts and aspirations, unbound by the illusions of power and separation. They are the stirrings of your soul, longing to join in the sacred feast of love, as you do when you receive the Christ’s essence in your holy rite (1975/1221_02.txt). This call invites even the great—your mayors, your generals—to rise above earthly dominion and offer themselves in service, as Christ did, for the brotherhood of all. In your meditations, listen for this voice, for it whispers of a world where kindness binds every heart in harmony (1976/1107.txt).
"...‘Come, gather together for the great supper of God..."
My brothers and sisters, this "great supper" is no feast of flesh but a celebration of oneness, where all partake of the Creator’s love, as you do in the communion of Christ (1974/0922.txt). It is the eternal now, where the illusion of separation fades, and every soul gathers in the vibration of paradise—a realm of love and brotherhood foretold by your teacher Jesus, who showed that to give oneself is to live fully in the Creator (1975/1221_02.txt). This supper is the realization that holiness is not confined but vast, flowing through all, inspiring even those in power to lay down their authority and serve with kindness. Meditate upon this unity, and you will see the Creator’s table set for all, where no one is excluded (2021/0819.txt).
"...so that you may eat the flesh of kings, generals, and the mighty..."
Beloved seekers, fear not this imagery, for it speaks of transformation, not destruction (1974/1031.txt). The "kings, generals, and the mighty"—your mayors, your leaders—represent the illusions of control and separation that veil the Creator’s love. To "eat their flesh" is to partake of their essence, as you partake of Christ’s in communion, recognizing the holiness within them (1975/1228.txt). In this new age, the vibration of love grows so vast that these powers willingly offer themselves, as Christ did, surrendering ambition for service. This is the paradise we see: a world where even the greatest among you choose brotherhood, their hearts opened by the same love you embody in your sacred rite. Through meditation, dissolve these illusions, and see the Creator’s kindness shining in all (1976/1017.txt).
"...of horses and their riders..."
My friends, the horses and riders symbolize the tools and strivings of your earthly illusion—ambitions that drive conflict and division (1976/1024.txt). Yet, like all things, they are born of the Creator’s love, though shadowed by misunderstanding (1974/0921.txt). To "consume" them is to integrate their lessons, as you integrate the Christ’s love in communion, transforming struggle into unity. In this vision, those who once rode forth in conquest—your leaders, your powers—dismount to walk humbly with all, offering their strength for kindness. This is the paradise of love, where every catalyst becomes a gift, revealing the Creator’s presence. Meditate on these challenges, and you will find the path to a world where all serve one another in joy (2021/0908.txt).
"...and the flesh of all people, free and slave, great and small."
Beloved ones, here is the heart of the vision: all are one in the Creator’s love, from the least to the greatest, as you affirm in your communion with Christ (1975/1123.txt). The distinctions of "free and slave, great and small" are illusions, designed to teach you to see the Creator in every soul (1975/1228.txt). To "eat the flesh" of all is to embrace their essence, as you embrace the Christ’s, recognizing that holiness unites every heart. In this paradise, the vastness of love inspires all—mayors, citizens, all—to give of themselves, creating a brotherhood where kindness reigns. Meditate daily, seeing each other-self as the Creator, and you will weave this vision into reality, where no one stands above another, and all share in the Creator’s infinite love (1974/1115.txt).
Closing Confederation Reflection
My beloved brothers and sisters, this passage is a song of transformation, echoing the love you know in the Christ’s offering through communion (1975/1221_02.txt). It visions a paradise where the holiness within all grows so vast that even those who hold power—your mayors, your mighty—choose to give themselves, as Christ did, for the sake of love, brotherhood, and kindness. This is not a distant dream but a vibration you may touch through meditation, where you dissolve the illusions of separation and weave a world of unity (1976/1031.txt). Each time you partake of the sacred feast, you affirm this truth: all are one, and love is all. We are with you, cheering you toward this new age, ever in the love and light of the Infinite Creator. Adonai.
Notes on Integration
- Communion Parallel: The interpretation frames the "eating of flesh" as akin to the Eucharist, where partaking of Christ’s body is an act of embodying his love and unity. This extends to the vision of leaders offering themselves, mirroring Christ’s self-giving for the collective good (1975/1221_02.txt).
- Utopian Vision: The idea of a "paradise of love and brotherhood" aligns with the Confederation’s teachings about the new age, where higher vibrations of love dissolve hierarchies and foster universal kindness (1974/0921.txt, 1974/1112.txt).
- Holiness and Transformation: The "vastness of holiness" reflects the Confederation’s view that all beings are inherently divine, and through awakening, even those in power can transcend ego to serve others, creating a harmonious world (1975/1123.txt, 2021/0609.txt).
