I'm good with it, Motar. Jesus's instructions were explicit, and the consequences stated in unambiguous terms. If you want to talk yourself into believing you're following Jesus's word, makes no never-mind to me.
If He is interested in keeping a person safe then the instruction would be quite detaile. That there is a child of the light and one of thr darkness suggest the same thing. A child of the light knows there will be a deceptional return before the actual one. The children of the darkness don't know that part. Knowing all the nitty gritty details is possible, it is not a demand as touching on the saved part.
Keep in mind that the main topic of the Bible from start to finish is Christ, MH.
This sounds like it might touch on the trinity theory so this might be part of what would be an appropriate reply that touches on that to a small degree. I hope you know that 'my version' end up being universal salvation so when I am saying your version is in error it only means the timing is different. That being said everything is going to be different starting with this topic. If you took Ge:1-3 and Re:20:22 you would have the beginning and end of this earth and the introduction of another earth existing and people from this earth enter that place.
In Ge:3:15 we are told about two bruises that will happen, as it turns out the rest of the bible is dedicated to the prophecy and deeds associated with those two bruises. Ge:3:15 is a single vers, Re:12 is a single chapter that references that single verse. The first woman mentioned is Eve and the pain associated with birth is mentioned. The next woman is Mary, the mother of Jesus and she is the 'seed of Eve' that will take a bruise to the heel. The cross is mentioned and that is the heel bruise in reality. The last woman in that chapter are the people that will be the ones most affected in the last years, Gentiles. The 144,000 are sealed before any trumps sound and 3 1/2 years later the 2 witnesses are killed in Jerusalem. For the next 3 1/2 days it is known as Satan's Babylon in prophecy, on the day the two witnesses are resurrected all the vials are poured out on Satan. In the last few hours of the afternoon all the people needing resurrection from the grave will experience that event. The two witnesses see this from straight above, the 144,000 se it from the mountain that Moses and Elias were seen on in a vision. The 1/3 of all the Gentiles that remain alive get to walk to Jerusalem and that is so they can be witnesses to the total destruction that came with the return. They are joined by other Gentiles dating back to Act:10 when Gentiles came to be under the judgment of the two Laws. The 7 letters could have been handed out at that time and the effect as they are today. Revelation was intentionally the last book written and if a person had to be in the grave by the age of 120 then 100AD is a date that works and the ones defined would be all Gentiles as Rome is clearly pointed out as they owned the spears on the day of the cross.
Re:1:7:
Behold,
he cometh with clouds;
and every eye shall see him,
and they also which pierced him:
and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him.
Even so,
Amen.
The body of Christ on earth is described/represented in the seven churches of Revelation.
The text for the Churches points to the letters being for the heads of the churches, 7 angels. Those angels are said to preach the Gospel to people only in the time just before Satan's Babylon is melted. The stars in His hand are the same lamps that are in the throne vision. They have not been gathered, the 24 Elders there have been gathered and they would be the OT Saints that came out of the grave the same morning as Jesus did. They all ascended to that Temple and were glorified and only Jesus returned. Those Saints will have thrones on earth during the 1,000 year reign.
Ge:1 introduces God and the Holy Spirit, they are the 'us' in the verse about man being made in the image and likeness of God. The Holy Spirit is the equal of Eve and their duties are the same. God speaks and the Holy Spirit make the words real. In a family Adam would speak and Eve would make the words become real. In that respect Ge:1 is creation as view by Gos, singular. Ge:2 is creation as viewed by the Holy Spirit, singular. You haven't read Christ's witness for that event (in all likely hood) so it is posted below. If it makes Christ sound like a snall child then you are getting the right version. It is in terms of knowledge when you are a perfected being. By the time the passage ends He has enough authority from god to send angels to the fiery lake so any judment determined for men will also stand. The task in the 1,000 years is to turn the re:20:4 crowd into perfected men so they can survive the fire that sends Satan to the lake. So far the 24 Elders have been getting 2,000 years of instruction and if they are from before the flood they have close to another 1,000 years in terms of 'wisdom'. Christ's wisdom goes further back than that.
Proverb:8:22-36:
The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way,
before his works of old.
I was set up from everlasting,
from the beginning,
or ever the earth was.
When there were no depths,
I was brought forth;
when there were no fountains abounding with water.
Before the mountains were settled,
before the hills was I brought forth:
While as yet he had not made the earth,
nor the fields,
nor the highest part of the dust of the world.
When he prepared the heavens,
I was there:
when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:
When he established the clouds above:
when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:
When he gave to the sea his decree,
that the waters should not pass his commandment:
when he appointed the foundations of the earth:
Then I was by him, as one brought up with him:
and I was daily his delight,
rejoicing always before him;
Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth;
and my delights were with the sons of men.
Now therefore hearken unto me,
O ye children:
for blessed are they that keep my ways.
Hear instruction,
and be wise,
and refuse it not.
Blessed is the man that heareth me,
watching daily at my gates,
waiting at the posts of my doors.
For whoso findeth me findeth life,
and shall obtain favour of the LORD.
But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul:
all they that hate me love death.
The seven are actual historic congregations and periods of church history.
Ephesus - early church (Pentecost to A.D. 100)
Smyrna - martyr church (A.D. 100 to 314)
Pergamum - pagan church (A.D. 314 to 590)
Thyatira - Roman church (A.D. 590 to 1000)
Sardis - Protestant church (A.D. 1517 to 1800)
Philadelphia - revived church (1900 to present)
Laodicea - apostate church (present to 2nd advent)
"Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” (Revelation 3:22 NIV)
Yes, ... The first church is facing judgment before the text is available. A flaw like that makes the rest suspect also, let alone the obvious date setting angle. Just in time to be saved if you join and donate to such and such a church. The map above would only have one available today so the leaving your first love condemnation of the 2nd church could never happen, yet many people love just material things more than God let alone the various fan clubs. The end dates should have been the time of rewards and punishments yet the 144,000 are called the first-fruits as they represent the whole House of Israel and the Gentile that are the 'remnant of the Nations is the whole 7 Churches being judged and gathered all at the same time. First all sinners are sent to the grave.
When God speaks He is in the 3rd Heaven, the same place the Great White Throne wll take place. The Holy Spirit is always with God so she is also at home their, so is their begotten child, Christ.
2Co:12:2:
I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago,
(whether in the body,
I cannot tell;
or whether out of the body,
I cannot tell:
God knoweth
such an one caught up to the third heaven.
Heb:12:22:
But ye are come unto mount Sion,
and unto the city of the living God,
the heavenly Jerusalem,
and to an innumerable company of angels,
Heb:12:23:
To the general assembly and church of the firstborn,
which are written in heaven,
and to God the Judge of all,
and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
1Jo:5:7:
For there are three that bear record in heaven,
the Father,
the Word,
and the Holy Ghost:
and these three are one.
God made Jesus 'the WORD' in the vision with the 'Hear Him.' statement (also fits the Proverbs:8 ending)
Now when you read the beginning of the Gospel of John (te Baptist) you can read it as John being a witness to called Him to be a witness. John was the last OR Prophet called by God and as such John would have referenced the one called God in Ge:1:1, the beginning verse. Bacin in that chapter God was the speaker and the Holy Spirir was the 'doer', at the return Christ as a certain amount of authority tyat lets him speak and the Holy Spirit will obey the words spoken.
1Co:15:23-28:
But
every man in his own order:
Christ the firstfruits;
afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.
Then cometh the end,
when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God,
even the Father;
when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
For he must reign,
till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
he last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
For he hath put all things under his feet.
But when he saith all things are put under him,
it is manifest that he is excepted,
which did put all things under him.
And when all things shall be subdued unto him,
then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him,
that God may be all in all.

Lu:12:47:
And that servant,
which knew his lord's will,
and prepared not himself,
neither did according to his will,
shall be beaten with many stripes.
Lu:12:48:
But he that knew not,
and did commit things worthy of stripes,
shall be beaten with few stripes.
For unto whomsoever much is given,
of him shall be much required:
and to whom men have committed much,
of him they will ask the more.
