There are a whole bunch of references to the Mass in The Book of Revelation. Here’s a few:
“Rev. 1 to 22 - Jesus is described as the “Lamb” 28 times in the book of Revelation. This is because Jesus emphasizes His sacrifice in heaven and in His Holy Catholic Church.”
Christ’s title as Lamb and His sacrifice on earth are described. There is no sacrifice in heaven. There is no sacrifice again on earth.
“Rev. 1:13 - Jesus is clothed in heaven with a long robe and golden girdle like the Old Testament priests who offered animal sacrifices. See Exodus 28:4.”
Yes. There is a similarity. He presents his blood from the cross on earth in the heavenly holies of holies. No ongoing sacrifice occurs and no mass.
“Rev. 2:17 - the spiritual manna, our Lord’s glorious body and blood, is emphasized in the heavenly feast.”
No mass present in the text, amigo.
“Rev. 3:20 - as Priest and Paschal Lamb, our Lord shares the Eucharistic meal with us to seal His New Covenant. Through the covenant of his body and blood, we are restored to the Father and become partakers of the divine nature.”
Here is the totality of Rev 3:20 - “Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me.”
Nothing there that you claim.
“Rev. 5:6 - this verse tells us that Jesus in His glory still looks like a lamb who was slain. Also, Jesus is “standing” as though a Lamb who was slain. Lambs that are slain lie down. This odd depiction shows Jesus stands at the Altar as our eternal priest in forever offering Himself to the Father for our salvation.”
No that is not what it means. Your explanation is a false idea brought to the text. You make the assumption that Christ as a Lamb that was slain means there is an ongoing sacrifice. There is not.
“Rev. 7:14 - the blood of the Lamb is eternally offered in heaven with the washing of the robes to make them white. This one is crystal clear!”
Except the text never says what you are claiming. He is not eternally offered. Hebrews makes it clear in chapter 10, that unlike regular (Jewish) priests that make ongoing sacrifices, heist made just one sacrifice that made perfect *forever*...
“Day after day every priest stands and performs his religious duties; again and again he offers the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. 12 But when this priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God, 13 and since that time he waits for his enemies to be made his footstool. 14 For by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy.”
“Rev. 14:1, Heb. 12:22 - Zion is the city where Jesus established the Eucharist and which was miraculously preserved after the destruction of Jerusalem. See also Psalms 2:6 and 132:13. It represents the union of heaven and earth, of divinity and humanity. This is why those who enter into the Eucharistic celebration on earth enter into the presence of innumerable angels, the souls of the just made perfect, Jesus the Mediator of the Covenant and His sprinkled blood, and God the Judge of all.”
Ps 2:6 - does not say Zion “represents the union of heaven and earth, of divinity and humanity.”
Here it is:
“But as for Me, I have installed My King Upon Zion, My holy mountain.
Nor does Ps 132 say what you claim. “For the LORD has chosen Jerusalem; he has desired it for his home.”
What you claim is an idea you bring to the text. It isn’t there.
Nothing about
“Rev. 19:13 - in all His glory, Jesus’ sacrifice is eternally present as He presents Himself to the Father clothed in a robe dipped in blood. Jesus’ sacrifice is the focus in heaven and in the Mass. When the Father beholds His Son, He beholds His sacrifice for humanity.
“Jesus’ sacrifice is eternally present” is not identical to ongoing sacrifice. The text does not contain that idea. Nor does it show a “mass” occurring in heaven.
“Rev. 19:9 - we are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb where we become one with Him by consuming His body and blood. This is the nuptial union of divinity and humanity.”
Again, your claim does not appear in the passage.
It says: “Then he said to me, “Write, ‘Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.’” And he said to me, “These are true words of God.”
You’ve bought into an idea that does not appear in God’s inspired words. It is made up out of whole cloth.
Best still.
1. Unfortunately, I think you’re using the redacted bible. Prideful men cut it to ribbons to glorify their own agendas centuries after it was written.
2. I think you’re having to work awfully hard to rewrite and refute what is very clearly there.
Consider that the crucifixion is much more than a momentary event in history. That permanence is captured in the Book of Revelation through spatial, not temporal, imagery. The ‘slain Lamb’ appears not only on earth but also in heaven, close to the throne. In fact, in other passages, Christ is clothed like a priest, priests who offer sacrifices.
