Parenthetical clauses are used throughout scripture to explain how, why, when and where in close proximity to the main subject and verb.
Parentheses in the book of The Revelation explain cause and effect. They tie together the events that happen previously, to the events that transpire subsequently on the prophetic timeline. Unfortunately, parentheses, as a literary devise, come centuries after the actual parenthetical clauses so prevalent in both Hebrew and Greek linguistic constructions. Because of their late arrival into the English language, the parentheticals in the book of The Revelation have never been either deservedly researched or accurately articulated. Now, after more than 40 years in the making, The Chronological Gospels is complete with all of the extensive parenthetical clauses accurately assigned throughout the book of The Revelation.
Now, with its impending fulfillment looming large on the horizon, The Revelation can finally be understood with clarity and lived with integrity. This one feature (the parenthetical clauses in The Revelation) in The Chronological Gospels is worth one thousand times the price of the book itself.
Join Michael Rood for the first of the last four teachings on the very last book of the Bible, “Parenthetically Speaking (Before We Are Saved From the Wrath To Come)”.

Prophecies in the Fall Feasts - Ep. 01 - By Michael Rood
...fixing our eyes on Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of our faith...
Based on what we see from your posts, don't be too sure the one you're following is who you think it is. It might even be the same one the Westboro's follow...
Just sayin'...
From here
Michael Rood's promotion introduces the tour by focusing the reader on the find of the Dead Sea Scrolls, which incidentally were found in 1947. That information has nothing whatsoever to do with the Shem Tov Matthew or any Hebrew Matthews, which originated in Europe between 1300-1500. It is no less than an attempt by Michael Rood and Nehemia Gordon to parallel the Hebrew Matthews with the Dead Sea Scrolls and present Shem Tov as being newly "unearthed", when in fact, it has been known of for years and was found on a bookshelf in someone's library.
The supposed "original" Hebrew Matthews are from the 1400-1500 range CE. Precisely, Shem Tov or Shem Tob is dated 1380, while DuTillet and Muenster are about 1550. Together they make up the "Middle Ages Matthews" but, they are very different, and as one stated, that is one of the ironies.
Michael Rood and Nehemiah Gordon are attempting to present the Shem Tov version of Matthew as an accurate, and original representation of the Gospel of Matthew. Shem Tov's "Matthew", or Shem Tob's Matthew as some call it, which textual critics will tell you, is nothing more than an altered medieval text, which is a corrupt copy of the Latin text, which was originally copied from the Greek. Most legitimate textual critics have all but ignored this middle age manuscript. Just imagine the telephone game being played by those who do not believe in Christ while supposedly "translating" the Shem Tov, with the result being a third generation altered copy.
The truth is that uninformed believers are being led by unbelievers to accept an altered anti-Christian version of Matthew that was included in the writing titled "Even Bohan" or "The Touchstone." This document was authored by Shem Tov, an unbelieving anti-Christian Jewish writer who some have referred to as a theologian, who resided in Spain during the fourteenth century. His copy of Hebrew Matthew has anti-Christian polemical commentary by him throughout the text.
The Shem Tov Matthew "translation" never identifies Jesus as the Messiah, gives John the Baptist an exalted role, Jesus' role in forgiving sins is omitted, and Jesus' ability to save all His people from their sins is also eliminated. It is also written in this "translation" that preaching the Gospel to the gentiles is of the anti-christ.
The article goes on to compare the corrupted Shem Tov to the KJV revealing these anti-Christian alterations to Scriptural Truth. The abomination that is Michael Rood goes on and on.
You need to get cracking on your "triune" proof FRiend and stop wasting so much time and electrons on Rood. R U even working on it??? If not, then I've other things I need to be doing besides sitting here twiddling my thumbs waiting...
Just sayin'...
No, I really don’t. To those who use the true scriptures in context it need not be shown over and over again. The Triune nature of God has been well documented in spite of your denial. Your time would be much better spent to try to discount all the evidence that has been presented showing Rood to be a fraud. Something Rood followers seem not able to do.
>> “ The Triune nature of God has been well documented in spite of your denial.” <<
.
Yes, in the ‘traditional’ doctrines of the catholic church, but not one speck of it is scripture.
(if you can show otherwise, bring it on!)
.
So you and Rood say. Along with the Mormons and Muslims of course. Scholars for centuries have taught that scripture does indeed testify to the triune nature of God. Now along comes these deniers who claim to have “new revelations or documents”, again reminiscent of Mormons and Muslims who claim that scripture does not show Jesus to indeed be part of a triune God.
It seems to me that it would be incumbent upon those who deny what has been believed for centuries to prove them wrong rather than simply deny the truth of the teaching. I’m sure you have that information available so I for one would like you to present it.
After all, it is written.
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John 1: 14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
John 8:58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
Acts 20:28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
John 20:28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.
Titus 2:13 waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,
2 Peter 1:1 Simeon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who did obtain a like precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ:
When Jesus said, "I am the Aleph and the Tav," He was saying I am the Word, (or logos, written Word) that was in the beginning. In the first line of the Torah, in the first line of the first verse in Genesis, He was there with God! He was in the beginning and all things were created through Him.
1 Timothy 1:16 But I received mercy for this reason, that in me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might display his perfect patience as an example to those who were to believe in him for eternal life. 17 To the King of the ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.
Do you believe that the Jesus you profess is indeed the same as the God who created the world? Would you please show your evidence that Jesus is not part of the triune God? It is you after all who say those words do not mean what we think they mean.
Amazingly even when they do get a bit or portion right they cannot even see that as Roods teachings muddy the waters so much it can't be seen through all the mud!
Your post is just one of so 'many' refuting Roods teachings and revealing he's a liar and an impostor.... With that in mind it's stunning the people who cannot see through Roods scam. But then you have to want to know the real truth before God will give one eyes to see...and most of Rood's followers don't want to....
It is written.
1 Timothy 1:16 But I received mercy for this reason, that in me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might display his perfect patience as an example to those who were to believe in him for eternal life. 17 To the King of the ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.
To those who would purport to believe that Jesus was not part of a triune God you are simply left with the option that then Jesus is the only God. To deny the deity of Christ is to deny all of scripture and the very hope of our salvation. If you do deny that I can’t even wish that God would have mercy on your soul since it is written.
Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Jesus was to be called The mighty God, The everlasting Father.
Love the scripture identifying God and Jesus as One.....here’s some more on the matter of Jesus being God...:
After all his miracles and teachings Jesus then asked that question to his closest followers, he made it more personal.....
He said to them,... “But who do you say that I am?”
Peter answered and said to Him,...
“You are the Christ .... “the Son of the living God.”
To the Jewish mindset of the day this declaration of being “the Son of the living God” meant He was God.
The Bible records what the Son of God means. The Pharisees were upset because of His claims,..... “The Jews answered by our law He ought to die, because He made himself the Son of God.”(Jn.19:7)
.... The Jews understood this as a unique claim, it would not have any significance if it only meant he claimed to be a man.... They knew what he meant when he said “I and my father are one”... in Jn.10:30.
I realize there is never enough sufficient proof for those who deny his true deity as in the same manner there is never enough proof for an atheist who does not want to believe that God exists.
In Jn.10:33 the Pharisees react to his claim by saying .......“because you being a man make yourself to be God.” ......They understood what He meant and picked up stones to kill him. .....Jesus responds in v.36.... “do you say of Him who the Father set apart and sent into the world, you are blaspheming, because I said I am the Son of God?”.... Here ‘Jesus interprets what he meant’ when he said they are one, that he is the Son in deity and that the Father sent him.
The Pharisees had to deal with the same question of his identity ‘except’ they knew who he was claiming to be. .....Before his trial he is brought before the Pharisees and the high priest said to Him... “I put You under oath by the living God: Tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of God!”..... Jesus said to him,... “It is as you said.” (Matt 26:63-64)
They already knew that He claimed He was deity but they wanted to hear it from His own mouth to incriminate Him on blasphemy.

John 14:8-9 Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.” Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?
John 10:30 I and the Father are one.
I don't know how much more explicit He has to be to get through to someone.
......”The Triune nature of God has been well documented in spite of your (their) denial”.....
Yes their denial doesn’t alter the facts.....However this truth, that Jesus is God has to be revealed by God....Just as Jesus stated when Peter and others recognized that HE indeed was God.
Therefore...I believe, with Roods false teachings ‘willingly’ flooding their minds and hearts, they are not priviledged by God to see what they don’t WANT TO. You have to want to believe/desire the truth when God gives it.....you have to want to wrap the faith He gives around ‘HIS Truth’.....If someone chooses to wrap what faith they do have around what is false, and refuse to even consider God’s truth, then they themselves are preventing that revelation as God wants it to be known....and cannot blame anyone but themselves for not “seeing”.
It’s the same with creation....you can point to all the ‘evidence’ supporting God created it all....yet God’s word clearly states it’s ‘by faith’ we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible..... Heb.11:3
Without the faith God gives ‘to believe’ the matter that He’s,(Jesus) the creator of our world.... how can any possibly understand Jesus is God unless He gives them the faith to understand and believe it?....especially if they don’t want to?
Those verses always cause pause to reflect.....and leaves one speechless and in awe of Him!
‘JESUS’......He IS the Alpha and Omega,...the Beginning and the End,... the Prince of Peace AND Everlasting Father, .....He is The Lord of Hosts,..Messiah..Savior.. and our Great High Priest!...He is ..Counselor and Healer...the Bright Morning Star... the Lord of Lords and King of Kings........The Almighty God the Name above all names... JESUS!........ HALLELUEYA!
Amen and Amen! Those who hesitate to admit that Jesus is indeed God need to answer some of these.
Jesus told us that only God was to be worshiped.
Luke 4:8 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
Does scripture describe the wise men sinning?
Matthew 2:11 And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.
Where the angels told to sin?
Hebrews 1:6 And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.
Did this man sin right in front of Jesus
John 9:38 And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.
Did all these disciples sin?
Matthew 28:17 And when they saw him, they worshipped him:
They said that the New Testament was just a continuation of the Old Testament covenant.
Did the writers of the New Testament lie?
Hebrews 8:6 But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.
A better covenant?
Hebrews 12:24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.
A new covenant? Didn’t you guys say there wasn’t a new covenant?
Who is preparing a place for us?
Hebrews 11:16 But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.
Didn’t Jesus say this?
John 14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
Other than your “new” covenant misunderstanding, I agree fully, but that still doesn’t bring in the “triune” addition.
If you get acquainted with all of the Greek scriptures, including the LXX, you’ll have a hard time making the renewed covenant a new one. But call it whatever you will, it is identical to the old one, differing only in the perfect sacrifice’s blood.
Did anyone else catch his error?
No! He found his own error, and corrected it himself. Fun to exaggerate though huh!
Why can you not grasp the obvious fact that Yeshua being “God” does not make Elohim “triune?”
Have you forgotten the seven spirits in Revelation?
Want to build another man made doctrine around that?
It could be fun...
Got plenty of eyes, and plenty of fat too, I suppose, and I was raised in a Baptist church, and am quite familiar with their doctrine.
I stand firm on the statement to which you seem to object.
