Eternal 7th Day Love Flood

"The love which he incarnated, by which we are saved, is to become the love which fills us beyond capacity and flows to heal the world."

"The angel swung his sickle on the earth, gathered its grapes (blood red fruit that hangs on wood) and threw them into the great winepress of God's wrath. They were trampled in the winepress outside the city (Golgotha) and blood flowed out of the press (from the cross) rising as high as the horses' bridles for a distance of 1,600 stadia." Revelation 14:19-20.

This image is in between a series of SEVENS in Revelation. SEVEN seal, SEVEN trumpets, SEVEN plagues, SEVEN trumpets.

And on the 7th day of John's gospel, the eternal sabbath day, (which is also the third day after declaring you shall see heaven open) Jesus turns water into wine in John Chapter 2 and. . . .

"The love which incarnated, by which we are saved, is to become the love which fills us beyond capacity and flows to heal the world."

Thinking of I am statements -- I love John's identity - "I am the disciple whom Jesus loved." I read that and I can feel John nudge me on the shoulder and say with a grin, "And guess what, you are too."

So much blood. So much love. Thank you Jesus.
