In the Bible, what exactly is an Apocalypse, and what is “The Spiritual?” I’ll teach you, as I was taught by God. One day, I was reading my Bible. I was reading about the Temple of God, and the Holy of Holies. The Holy of Holies was The Most Holy Place, where the very presence of God dwelt. The Holy of Holies was separated from the rest of the Temple by a curtain or veil. Only the High Priest was allowed in the Holy of Holies, and only once a year during Yom Kippur. He would crawl in on his hands and knees with a cord tied around him, he was tethered. Given he came into the presence of God in an unclean state, or with crap in his heart and soul, he may have died. The tether was to pull him back out just in case. Between the physical and the spiritual, there may have been a curtain or veil. This has been there as a protection. Given man could experience God’s very presence in an sinful state, he could die.
When Jesus died on the cross, the veil tore. This was the veil or curtain in the Temple separating the Holy of Holies. This may have been the veil between the physical and the spiritual. This would be an Apocalypse.
For the hearts of this people have grown dull.
Their ears are hard of hearing,
And their eyes they have closed,
Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears,
Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn,
So that I should heal them.’16 But blessed are your eyes for they see, and your ears for they hear; 17 for assuredly, I say to you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.(Matthew 13:15-17)
Matthew 13:15-17, that may have been part of an Apocalypse. An Apocalypse may not have been a single event, but a process.
Why is an Apocalypse often associated with the end of the world?
For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light (Ephesians 5:8)
Many people were in darkness. Darkness may have been like Plato’s Allegory of the Cave. Darkness may have been a matrix of lies and false perspectives. There had to be a falling away. There was a Falling Away when God sent many of the Prophets like Ezekiel and Jeremiah. There was a Falling Away when God sent Jesus Christ, the Messiah. Jesus Christ prophesied the destruction of the Temple of God. Thirty Seven years after Jesus’ death and resurrection, the Temple was destroyed, and diaspora.
I may be aware of a lot of things, and knowledgeable about issues surrounding the spiritual and prophecy. We may be able to discuss it.
