Amen, Alamo-Girl!

"His eyes [were] as a flame of fire, and on his head [were] many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. And he [was] clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. - Revelation 19:12-13

I need to spend more time reading Revelation. It confirms the Scriptures true.

It saddens me to see the revelation in John 6 be reduced to a physical matter thereby missing the Spiritual Truth that we must feed on Him, the Word of God.

But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. - Matthew 4:4

Yes, and we have His assurance that the attempt to reduce Christ's perfect, one-time, thoroughly-accomplished sacrifice down to repetitive, incomplete, impersonal offerings will end up as nothing more than vanity.

"They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy." -- Jonah 2:8


"And saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and preach unto you that ye should turn from these vanities unto the living God, which made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are therein" -- Acts 14:15

Thank you so much for your insights and especially for the Scriptures you have posted!

Revelation is treasure! A large treasure that calls for frequent reading and meditation.

Indeed. There is only one true way to worship God, i.e. in spirit and truth. Anything less is vanity, as you say.

But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. - John 4:23

To God be the glory!
