relate to Himself as a person, but more specifically to the son of man, a
mere man chosen and anointed to complete a Divine mission!
Jesus gave the prophetic words to John in the book of revelation, and when
spoken accurately, by the one intended to speak on Jesus’ behalf, the words
become a statement of fact at this time.
The prophecy is a pronouncement by what Jesus revealed to John and to
the whole world. Specifics that are difficult to comprehend for most people
reveal there is more to comprehend. Revelations is a final decree, that is
relevant to man, Satan and all who follow the evil cohort, rejecting Jesus as
our Father, and the son. Thus; “These are the words of the Son of God,
whose eyes are like blazing fire and whose feet are like burnished bronze. I
know your deeds, your love and faith, your service and perseverance, and
that you are now doing more than you did at first. Nevertheless, I have this
against you:
You t o l e ra t e t ha t woman J ezebe l , who c a l l s he r s e l f a

. By her teaching she misleads my servants into sexual immorality
and the eating of food sacrificed to idols. I have given her time to repent of
her immorality, but she is unwilling.
So I wi l l c as t he r on a bed o f

hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets (I
will not impose any other burden on you): Only hold on to what you have
until I come.

Why the Morning Star and to whom is it to be given? The Morning star is
the brightest star in the heavens, once belonging to Lucifer. Once the
brightest, Lucifer inferred that he would not bow to a mere man as God has
revealed, and thus was hurled down to the earth and held bound. Now
Satan, as stated previously, roamed the earth looking for God’s Christ, who
would crush its head. Once mere man, by the grace of God, following Jesus,
comes in His name, he will be victorious and Satan will bow. So, it is
perfectly right the final reward for one lower than the angels receive the
