Doctrine Analysis — Revelation

Full-Book Doctrine Matrix (Ch. 1–22) | English → Marathi

Purpose: This document provides the complete doctrine matrix for the book of Revelation, extending the baseline Romans doctrine_risk_registry.json and consolidating assets/doctrine_risk_registry.json (Revelation) into a chapter-traceable analysis. Every doctrine name, risk tier, and review routing below is IDENTICAL to assets/doctrine_risk_registry.json — this document adds chapter-level traceability and translation-risk reasoning; it does not redefine or re-tier any doctrine. The core passage (21:1-8) is the theological anchor of the curriculum but not its scope: coverage below spans chapters 1–22 in full, per the PRD Phase 1 full-book coverage mandate.

Risk tier definitions follow the baseline exactly:

• Critical — mistranslation destroys essential doctrine; human theologian review required for every occurrence.
• High — mistranslation creates significant theological confusion or syncretism risk; human theologian review required.
• Medium — mistranslation reduces clarity but preserves essential meaning; native speaker review recommended.
• Low — mistranslation causes minor misunderstanding; automated review sufficient.

Part A — Master Doctrine Matrix

#	Doctrine (EN)	Marathi Name	Risk	Key Terms	Supporting Passages (Revelation)	Translation Risk / Notes	Review Routing
1	The Return and Reign of Christ	ख्रिस्ताचे पुनरागमन आणि राज्य	Critical	Lamb; King of kings and Lord of lords; kingdom of God; millennium; Come, Lord Jesus	1:7; 11:15; 19:11-16; 20:4-6; 22:20	Must be a single decisive, bodily, historical event and consummation — not a turn of a cosmic yuga-cycle or an inward spiritual awakening. राजांचा राजा आणि प्रभूंचा प्रभू must convey absolute, singular supremacy, never a lord alongside Vitthal in a devotee’s personal pantheon.	Human theologian
2	The Sovereignty of God over History	इतिहासावर देवाचे सार्वभौमत्व	High	throne; Almighty; seal; trumpet; “who is, who was, who is to come”	1:8; 4:1-11; 5:1-14; 11:15-19; 17:17	सिंहासन and सर्वसमर्थ must convey total, personal sovereign rule over all history, including the beast’s derivative, permitted power. सर्वसमर्थ (never सर्वशक्तिमान) avoids the शक्ती root tied to Maharashtra’s Shakti/mother-goddess tradition.	Human theologian
3	Perseverance and Faithful Witness under Persecution	छळाखाली धीराने साक्ष देणे	High	testimony (साक्ष); overcome (जिंकणारा); great tribulation; two witnesses; crown of life	2:10; 2:13; 6:9-11; 11:3-12; 12:11; 13:10; 14:12	Victory is given through Christ’s blood and the believer’s testimony (12:11) — never self-attained spiritual achievement paralleling Buddhist Eightfold Path self-cultivation or a merit-ledger earned through suffering.	Human theologian
4	Judgment of the Wicked and Vindication of the Saints	दुष्टांचा न्याय आणि पवित्र जनांचे समर्थन	Critical	lake of fire; second death; wrath of the Lamb; book of life; washed in the blood of the Lamb; judged according to works	6:9-11; 14:9-11; 16:5-7; 19:1-2; 20:11-15; 21:8	अग्नीचे सरोवर/दुसरे मरण must never use नरक (temporary, cyclical purgatorial realm in Hindu/Buddhist cosmology). “Judged according to works” (20:12-13) must be reconciled with justification by faith, avoiding karma-ledger framing rejected by Ambedkarite Buddhist communities.	Human theologian
5	The New Heaven and New Earth	नवे आकाश आणि नवी पृथ्वी	Critical	new heaven and new earth; new Jerusalem; tabernacle; water of life; “I make all things new”	21:1-8 (core passage); 21:9-27; 22:1-5	Single, final, once-for-all re-creation, never cyclical cosmic renewal (yuga/pralaya). मंडप must recall OT dwelling-of-God-with-humanity, never मंदिर, and must convey personal presence, not an impersonal all-pervading सर्वव्यापी परमात्मा.	Human theologian
6	The Church as Bride of Christ	ख्रिस्ताची वधू म्हणून मंडळी	Critical	bride; marriage of the Lamb; his wife; righteous acts of the saints	19:6-9; 21:2; 21:9-10; 22:17	वधू/कोकऱ्याचे लग्न is a corporate, covenantal image for the whole redeemed Church — not individual Warkari/Vaishnav bridal-mysticism (gopī imagery toward Krishna/Vitthal). The bride’s readiness is granted by grace, not self-adorned merit.	Human theologian
7	Worship of the Lamb	कोकऱ्याची आराधना	Critical	Lamb; worthy; worship (proskyneō/latreuō); Hallelujah; new song	4:8-11; 5:6-14; 7:9-12; 15:3-4; 19:1-8	कोकरा holds together sacrificial death and enthroned triumph; आराधना is sharply distinguished from पूजा (Hindu ritual image-worship) and भजन (Warkari/bhakti devotional singing). योग्य is reserved exclusively for God/the Lamb.	Human theologian
8	Symbolic and Apocalyptic Interpretation	प्रतीकात्मक व प्रकटीकरणात्मक अर्थनिर्णय	High	revelation; mystery of God; number of the beast; Babylon (mystery); “do not add or take away”	1:1; 1:20; 10:7; 12:1-17; 13:1-18; 17:5-18; 22:18-19	प्रकटीकरण distinguished from दर्शन (a Warkari devotee’s repeatable visual encounter with a deity’s image) — this is a one-time prophetic unveiling. 666 must not invite general अंकशास्त्र (numerology) practice.	Human theologian
9	Assurance of God’s Final Victory over Evil	दुष्टाईवर देवाच्या अंतिम विजयाची खात्री	Critical	dragon/Satan; overcame by the blood of the Lamb; book of life; no more death	12:10-11; 19:11-21; 20:7-10; 21:4	The dragon must always be explicitly named सैतान given live veneration of नाग serpent-deities (Nag Panchami). Assurance rests in Christ’s finished victory, not a karmic ledger nor a contested Buddhist metaphysics of an enduring self; taught relationally.	Human theologian
10	Deity and Sonship of Christ	ख्रिस्ताचे ईश्वरत्व आणि पुत्रत्व	Critical	Alpha and Omega; Son of Man; Word of God; Lamb; “he will be my son”	1:8; 1:13-18; 5:12-13; 19:13; 21:7; 22:13	अल्फा आणि ओमेगा applied identically to Father and Son safeguards co-equal deity. देवाचे वचन must remain a strictly personal Christological title, never assimilated to शब्दब्रह्म/नादब्रह्म traditions. मनुष्याचा पुत्र retains Danielic heavenly-authority overtones.	Human theologian
11	Lordship of Christ	ख्रिस्ताचे प्रभुत्व	Critical	Lord; King of kings and Lord of lords; “Come, Lord Jesus”	17:14; 19:16; 22:20-21	प्रभू and राजांचा राजा आणि प्रभूंचा प्रभू convey exclusive, supreme, presently-reigning Lordship, not one deity among many in a devotee’s bhakti practice — continuing the baseline’s Critical Lordship doctrine (Romans 10:9).	Human theologian
12	Inspiration and Inviolability of Prophecy	भविष्यवाणीची प्रेरणा आणि अभंगता	High	prophecy; faithful and true words; “do not add or take away”	1:1-3; 19:9-10; 22:6-7; 22:18-19	This prophecy carries Scripture’s own full divine authority; भविष्यवाणी distinguished from Warkari sant-poet abhang devotional poetry and from Ambedkar’s reinterpreted Dhamma writings, both inspired human teaching, not God’s own unalterable spoken word.	Human theologian
13	Idolatry and False Worship	मूर्तिपूजा आणि खोटी आराधना	Critical	idolaters; worship of the beast; mark of the beast	9:20-21; 13:4-15; 14:9-11; 21:8; 22:15	मूर्तिपूजक names, in ordinary usage, majority Hindu devotional image-worship (mūrti pūjā), including at Vitthal’s Pandharpur shrine. Must be taught as a theological category of misdirected worship of any created thing — explicitly not an ethnic/communal condemnation.	Human theologian
14	Spiritual Warfare and the Defeat of Satan	आत्मिक युद्ध आणि सैतानाचा पराभव	Critical	dragon/Satan; Michael the archangel; abyss; beast	12:7-9; 12:11; 20:1-3; 20:7-10	The dragon/serpent must always be explicitly identified as सैतान; failure to do so risks the antagonist reading as an ambiguous or even benevolent spirit given folk-Hindu नाग veneration as protective beings.	Human theologian
15	Universal Scope of Redemption and Unity of Peoples	तारणाची सार्वत्रिकता आणि लोकांची एकता	High	every tribe, tongue, people, and nation; great multitude	5:9; 7:9-10; 14:6; 21:24-26	प्रत्येक वंश, भाषा, लोक आणि राष्ट्र must retain full, unqualified universality, continuing the baseline’s Critical universal-scope-of-gospel doctrine; carries unusual resonance given the 1956 Ambedkarite Buddhist conversion as an escape from caste hierarchy.	Human theologian
16	Divine Calling and Election	देवाचे पाचारण आणि निवड	High	called, chosen, and faithful; book of life; “written from the foundation of the world”	13:8; 17:8; 17:14; 21:27	देवाची निवड and inclusion in जीवनाचे पुस्तक must be God’s sovereign, gracious choosing of persons — never phrased so as to echo the karma-birth explanation of social standing rejected by Ambedkarite Buddhist communities.	Human theologian
17	Repentance	पश्चात्ताप	High	repent; repentance	2:5; 2:16; 2:21-22; 3:3; 3:19; 9:20-21; 16:9-11	पश्चात्ताप is relational turning toward the personal God who alone forgives, distinguished from प्रायश्चित्त (Hindu ritual expiation removing karmic effect through rite: pilgrimage, ritual bathing, penance).	Human theologian
18	Universal Human Accountability and Sin	सार्वत्रिक मानवी जबाबदारी आणि पाप	High	cowardly, unbelieving, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, liars	9:20-21; 21:8; 22:15	Vice-lists excluding the unrepentant must be taught as universal moral accountability before a personal God — never echoing the caste-Hindu birth-karma framework explicitly rejected by Ambedkarite Buddhist communities. Every person, of every status, is equally accountable and equally invited to repent.	Human theologian
19	Grace	कृपा	Critical	grace; freely, as a gift	1:4; 21:6; 22:17; 22:21	कृपा and विनामूल्य/फुकट (21:6, 22:17) reinforce the baseline’s Critical grace doctrine: the water of life is given, not earned — precluding merit, ritual payment, or self-cultivated attainment readings (Warkari bhakti-grace familiarity and Buddhist self-cultivation ethics).	Human theologian
20	Salvation	तारण	Critical	salvation; purchased/redeemed; washed in the blood of the Lamb	5:9; 7:10; 7:14; 12:10; 19:1	तारण must never be मोक्ष, मुक्ती, or निर्वाण. Revelation portrays salvation as a costly, blood-bought deliverance culminating in bodily resurrection and a real new creation — not impersonal liberation or cessation of craving.	Human theologian
21	Faith and Faithfulness	विश्वास आणि विश्वासूपणा	High	faith; faithful and true; unbelieving	2:10; 2:13; 13:10; 14:12; 17:14; 19:11; 21:5; 21:8	विश्वास/विश्वासू/अविश्वासू denote personal trust in Christ specifically, and faithful endurance flowing from that trust — not bhakti/shraddha devotional reverence toward Vitthal, nor confidence in a teaching or path.	Human theologian
22	Prayer and Intercession	प्रार्थना आणि मध्यस्थी	Medium	incense; prayers of the saints	5:8; 8:3-4	Incense symbolizing the prayers of the saints is direct access to a personal, listening God — distinguished from ritual उदबत्ती/धूप offering to an image in Hindu पूजा and from Warkari kirtan/bhajan directed toward Vitthal.	Native speaker review
23	Priesthood of Believers	विश्वासणाऱ्यांचे याजकपण	Medium	priests; kingdom of priests	1:6; 5:10; 20:6	याजक kept distinct from पुरोहित/ब्राह्मण (hereditary caste-linked priesthood terms); Revelation’s priesthood is corporate and non-hereditary, granted to all believers alike.	Native speaker review
24	Sanctification and Holiness	पवित्रीकरण आणि पवित्रता	High	holy; saints; “let the holy still be holy”	21:27; 22:11; 22:14-15	पवित्र/पवित्र जन reused exactly per baseline; पवित्र जन remains corporate (all believers), never संत (the elite Warkari poet-saint literary class).	Human theologian
25	Adoption and Sonship of Believers	विश्वासणाऱ्यांचे दत्तक पुत्रत्व	High	”he will be my son”; inherit	21:7	The overcomer’s declared sonship consummates the baseline adoption doctrine; presented as God’s relational declaration over the whole person, not requiring a particular prior metaphysics of an unchanging self (a live question for Navayana Buddhist anatta-formed readers).	Human theologian
26	Justification by Faith and the Evidentiary Role of Works	विश्वासाने नीतिमान ठरणे आणि कृत्यांची साक्ष	Critical	righteous acts of the saints; judged according to works; book of life	19:8; 20:12-13; 20:15	Final judgment “according to works” and the bride’s “righteous acts” must be evidence and fruit of a righteousness already granted by faith, never a separate merit-based ground — avoiding karma-ledger framing explicitly rejected by Ambedkarite Buddhist communities.	Human theologian
27	Church as God’s People amid Persecution	छळामध्ये देवाची प्रजा म्हणून मंडळी	Medium	church; lampstand; “come out of her, my people”	1:20; 2:1-3:22; 18:4	मंडळी and the lampstand imagery convey a light-bearing witnessing community called to distinct holy allegiance (18:4), not literal withdrawal or asceticism — consistent with the baseline’s separation-unto-God’s-service doctrine.	Native speaker review
28	Kingdom Mission and Evangelism	राज्याचे मिशन आणि सुवार्ता प्रसार	Medium	eternal gospel; “proclaim to every nation”	14:6-7	सार्वकालिक शुभवर्तमान is the one, final, universal proclamation of the gospel already established in the baseline — not one teaching among several on offer at history’s end.	Native speaker review

Part B — Chapter-by-Chapter Doctrinal Coverage

Full-book coverage per PRD Phase 1 mandate. Every chapter (1–22) is addressed explicitly; chapters contributing no doctrine beyond what is already documented for an earlier chapter are marked “reviewed — no new doctrinal assignment.”

Chapter 4 — Throne Room Vision

• Sovereignty of God over History (4:1-11) — the throne, “Holy, holy, holy,” twenty-four elders, four living creatures.

Chapter 17 — The Great Prostitute and the Beast

• Idolatry and False Worship (17:1-6) — Babylon the prostitute, symbol of an idolatrous system.

• Divine Calling and Election (20:15) — inclusion in the book of life as the ground of exemption from the lake of fire.

• Return and Reign of Christ / Lordship of Christ (22:20-21) — “Come, Lord Jesus”; closing grace-benediction, verbatim consistency required with 1:4 and Romans’ baseline grace doctrine.

Full-Book Coverage Confirmation

Every chapter of Revelation (1–22) has been explicitly reviewed above. Chapter 18 is the only chapter reviewed with no new doctrinal assignment beyond material already fully catalogued for chapters 14 and 17; this is stated explicitly per the full-book coverage mandate, not silently omitted. All other chapters contribute direct textual support to one or more of the 28 doctrines in Part A. The core passage, Revelation 21:1-8, sits at the intersection of the largest number of Critical-tier doctrines in the entire book (The New Heaven and New Earth, The Church as Bride of Christ, Grace, Judgment of the Wicked and Vindication of the Saints, Universal Human Accountability and Sin, Adoption and Sonship of Believers, Divine Calling and Election) and must be treated as the highest-priority theologian-review anchor in Phase 2.

Critical Risk Doctrines

The Return and Reign of Christ

Marathi name: ख्रिस्ताचे पुनरागमन आणि राज्य
Key terms: Lamb, King of kings and Lord of lords, kingdom of God, millennium, Come, Lord Jesus
Review routing: Human theologian

Christ’s bodily, visible, historical return and reign must be taught as a single decisive event and consummation, not one more turn of a cosmic yuga-cycle or an inward spiritual awakening. राजांचा राजा आणि प्रभूंचा प्रभू must convey absolute, singular supremacy, resisting any reading that places Christ within a devotee’s personal pantheon alongside Vitthal.

Judgment of the Wicked and Vindication of the Saints

Marathi name: दुष्टांचा न्याय आणि पवित्र जनांचे समर्थन
Key terms: lake of fire, second death, wrath of the Lamb, book of life, washed in the blood of the Lamb, judged according to works
Review routing: Human theologian

अग्नीचे सरोवर and दुसरे मरण must never be rendered with नरक, the common Hindu/Buddhist word naming a temporary, cyclical purgatorial hell-realm; this judgment is final, conscious, and terminal, following the one bodily resurrection. Judgment ‘according to works’ (20:12-13) must be reconciled with justification by faith so as not to echo the karma-ledger framework Ambedkarite Buddhist communities in Maharashtra explicitly rejected.

The New Heaven and New Earth

Marathi name: नवे आकाश आणि नवी पृथ्वी
Key terms: new heaven and new earth, new Jerusalem, tabernacle, water of life, I make all things new
Review routing: Human theologian

नवे आकाश आणि नवी पृथ्वी must be taught as a single, final, once-for-all re-creation, not cyclical cosmic renewal (Hindu yuga cycles/pralaya). मंडप (tabernacle) must recall the OT dwelling-of-God-with-humanity theme, never मंदिर (Hindu temple), and must convey personal presence, not an impersonal all-pervading divine presence (सर्वव्यापी परमात्मा).

The Church as Bride of Christ

Marathi name: ख्रिस्ताची वधू म्हणून मंडळी
Key terms: bride, marriage of the Lamb, his wife, righteous acts of the saints
Review routing: Human theologian

वधू and कोकऱ्याचे लग्न must be taught as a corporate, covenantal image for the whole redeemed Church, not assimilated to Warkari/Vaishnav bhakti’s bridal-mysticism, in which an individual devotee’s soul is pictured as bride of a personal chosen deity (gopī imagery toward Krishna/Vitthal). The bride’s readiness is itself granted by grace, not self-adorned merit.

---

Worship of the Lamb

Marathi name: कोकऱ्याची आराधना
Key terms: Lamb, worthy, worship (proskyneō), worship (latreuō), Hallelujah, new song
Review routing: Human theologian

कोकरा must hold together sacrificial death and enthroned triumph; worship offered to the Lamb (आराधना) is worship offered to God himself, sharply distinguished from पूजा (Hindu ritual image-worship) and भजन (Warkari/bhakti devotional singing to a chosen personal deity). योग्य (worthy) must be reserved exclusively for God/the Lamb, in contrast to the beast’s blasphemous claim to worship.

---

Assurance of God’s Final Victory over Evil

Marathi name: दुष्टाईवर देवाच्या अंतिम विजयाची खात्री
Key terms: dragon/Satan, overcame by the blood of the Lamb, book of life, no more death
Review routing: Human theologian

The dragon must always be explicitly named सैतान (Satan/the Devil), an evil defeated enemy, given the live veneration of serpent-deities (नाग) in Maharashtra folk-Hindu practice (Nag Panchami). Assurance rests in Christ’s finished victory, not a karmic ledger nor (for Buddhist-formed readers) a contested metaphysics of an enduring self who could hold such assurance across time; this doctrine should be taught relationally.

---

Deity and Sonship of Christ

Marathi name: ख्रिस्ताचे ईश्वरत्व आणि पुत्रत्व
Key terms: Alpha and Omega, Son of Man, Word of God, Lamb, he will be my son
Review routing: Human theologian

अल्फा आणि ओमेगा applied identically to Father and Son safeguards Christ’s full, co-equal deity. देवाचे वचन (Word of God) must remain a strictly personal Christological title, never assimilated to शब्दब्रह्म/नादब्रह्म (sacred-sound-as-ultimate-reality) traditions. मनुष्याचा पुत्र (Son of Man) must retain Danielic heavenly-authority overtones, not mere humanity.

---

Lordship of Christ

Marathi name: ख्रिस्ताचे प्रभुत्व
Key terms: Lord, King of kings and Lord of lords, Come, Lord Jesus
Review routing: Human theologian

प्रभू and राजांचा राजा आणि प्रभूंचा प्रभू must convey exclusive, supreme, presently-reigning Lordship, not one more beloved personal deity alongside Vitthal within a devotee’s bhakti practice, consistent with the baseline’s Critical Lordship doctrine established from Romans 10:9.

---

Idolatry and False Worship

Marathi name: मूर्तिपूजा आणि खोटी आराधना
Key terms: idolaters, worship of the beast, mark of the beast
Review routing: Human theologian

मूर्तिपूजक names, in ordinary Marathi usage, precisely the devotional image-worship (mūrti pūjā) central to majority Hindu practice in Maharashtra, including reverence at Vitthal’s shrine in Pandharpur. This doctrine must be taught as a theological category of misdirected worship of any created thing, explicitly not a blanket ethnic or communal condemnation of Hindu neighbors; teaching notes must make this distinction unmistakable.

---

Spiritual Warfare and the Defeat of Satan

Marathi name: आत्मिक युद्ध आणि सैतानाचा पराभव
Key terms: dragon/Satan, Michael the archangel, abyss, beast
Review routing: Human theologian

The dragon/serpent must always be explicitly and unambiguously identified as सैतान, given the live folk-Hindu veneration of नाग (serpent) deities as protective, even benevolent beings (e.g., Nag Panchami); failure to make this identification explicit risks the antagonist reading as a benevolent or ambiguous spirit rather than God’s defeated enemy.

---

Grace

Marathi name: कृपा
Key terms: grace, freely, as a gift
Review routing: Human theologian

कृपा and विनामूल्य/फुकट (21:6, 22:17) together reinforce the baseline’s Critical grace doctrine: the water of life is given, not earned, precluding any reading of merit, ritual payment, or self-cultivated attainment, consistent with the concern for both Warkari bhakti-grace familiarity and Buddhist self-cultivation ethics.

---

Salvation

Marathi name: तारण
Key terms: salvation, purchased/redeemed, washed in the blood of the Lamb
Review routing: Human theologian

तारण must never be rendered मोक्ष, मुक्ती, or निर्वाण; Revelation portrays salvation as a costly, blood-bought deliverance culminating in bodily resurrection and a real new creation, not an impersonal liberation or cessation of craving.

---

Justification by Faith and the Evidentiary Role of Works

Marathi name: विश्वासाने नीतिमान ठरणे आणि कृत्यांची साक्ष
Key terms: righteous acts of the saints, judged according to works, book of life
Review routing: Human theologian

Final judgment ‘according to works’ (20:12-13) and the bride’s ‘righteous acts’ (19:8) must be taught as evidence and fruit of a righteousness already granted by faith, never as a separate merit-based ground of acceptance, and must not be phrased so as to echo the karma-ledger framework Ambedkarite Buddhist communities in Maharashtra explicitly rejected.

High Risk Doctrines

The Sovereignty of God over History

Marathi name: इतिहासावर देवाचे सार्वभौमत्व
Key terms: throne, Almighty, seal, trumpet, the one who is, who was, who is to come
Review routing: Human theologian

सिंहासन and सर्वसमर्थ must convey total, personal sovereign rule over all history, including the beast’s derivative, permitted power. सर्वसमर्थ (not सर्वशक्तिमान) avoids the शक्ती root tied to Maharashtra’s Shakti/mother-goddess tradition, keeping the sovereignty exclusively that of the one true God rather than a divine-feminine power.

---

Perseverance and Faithful Witness under Persecution

Marathi name: छळाखाली धीराने साक्ष देणे
Key terms: testimony, overcome, great tribulation, two witnesses, crown of life
Review routing: Human theologian

साक्ष (testimony, root of ‘martyr’) and जिंकणारा (overcomer) must be taught as victory given through Christ’s blood and the believer’s testimony (12:11), never as self-attained spiritual achievement paralleling the Buddhist Eightfold Path’s self-cultivation or a karma-ledger of merit earned through suffering.

---

Symbolic and Apocalyptic Interpretation

Marathi name: प्रतीकात्मक व प्रकटीकरणात्मक अर्थनिर्णय
Key terms: revelation, mystery of God, number of the beast, Babylon (mystery), do not add or take away
Review routing: Human theologian

प्रकटीकरण must be distinguished from दर्शन (a Warkari/bhakti devotee’s repeatable visual encounter with a deity’s image); this is a one-time prophetic unveiling. Numerological elements (666) must not be taught as inviting general अंकशास्त्र (numerology) practice; the text’s own self-declared symbolic mode (17:5, ‘mystery’) should be taught explicitly as the interpretive key.

---

Inspiration and Inviolability of Scripture/Prophecy

Marathi name: भविष्यवाणीची प्रेरणा आणि अभंगता
Key terms: prophecy, faithful and true words, do not add or take away
Review routing: Human theologian

This prophecy shares Scripture’s own full divine authority; भविष्यवाणी must be distinguished from the devotional poetry (abhang) of the Warkari sant-poets and from Ambedkar’s reinterpreted Dhamma writings, both of which claim authority as inspired human teaching or wisdom, not God’s own spoken and unalterable word.

---

Universal Scope of Redemption and Unity of Peoples

Marathi name: तारणाची सार्वत्रिकता आणि लोकांची एकता
Key terms: every tribe, tongue, people, and nation, great multitude
Review routing: Human theologian

प्रत्येक वंश, भाषा, लोक आणि राष्ट्र must retain full, unqualified universality at every occurrence, directly continuing the baseline’s Critical universal_scope_of_gospel doctrine; this claim carries unusually direct resonance in Maharashtra given the living memory of the 1956 Ambedkarite Buddhist conversion as an escape from caste hierarchy.

---

Divine Calling and Election

Marathi name: देवाचे पाचारण आणि निवड
Key terms: called, chosen, and faithful, book of life, written from the foundation of the world
Review routing: Human theologian

देवाची निवड and inclusion in जीवनाचे पुस्तक must be taught as God’s sovereign, gracious choosing of persons, never phrased so as to echo the karma-birth explanation of social standing that Ambedkarite Buddhist communities in Maharashtra explicitly and painfully rejected by converting away from caste Hinduism.

---

Repentance

Marathi name: पश्चात्ताप
Key terms: repent, repentance
Review routing: Human theologian

पश्चात्ताप must be taught as relational turning toward the personal God who alone forgives, distinguished from प्रायश्चित्त, the Hindu concept of ritual expiation (pilgrimage, ritual bathing, penance rites) that removes sin’s karmic effect through the performance of a rite rather than through relational turning.

---

Universal Human Accountability and Sin

Marathi name: सार्वत्रिक मानवी जबाबदारी आणि पाप
Key terms: cowardly, unbelieving, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, liars
Review routing: Human theologian

The vice-lists excluding the unrepentant from the new creation must be taught as universal moral accountability before a personal God, never phrased in a way that echoes the caste-Hindu birth-karma framework Ambedkarite Buddhist communities explicitly rejected; every person, of every status, stands equally accountable and equally invited to repent.

---

Faith and Faithfulness

Marathi name: विश्वास आणि विश्वासूपणा
Key terms: faith, faithful and true, unbelieving
Review routing: Human theologian

विश्वास and its derivatives (विश्वासू, अविश्वासू) must denote personal trust in Christ specifically, and faithful endurance flowing from that trust, not the devotional reverence (bhakti/shraddha) directed toward Vitthal, nor confidence placed in a teaching or path.

---

Sanctification and Holiness

Marathi name: पवित्रीकरण आणि पवित्रता
Key terms: holy, saints, let the holy still be holy
Review routing: Human theologian

पवित्र and पवित्र जन must be reused exactly per the baseline; पवित्र जन must remain corporate (all believers), never rendered संत, which names the elite Warkari poet-saint literary class.

---

Adoption and Sonship of Believers

Marathi name: विश्वासणाऱ्यांचे दत्तक पुत्रत्व
Key terms: he will be my son, inherit
Review routing: Human theologian

The overcomer’s declared sonship consummates the adoption doctrine established in the baseline; must be presented as God’s relational declaration over the whole person, not a claim requiring a particular prior metaphysics of an unchanging self, a live conceptual question for readers formed by Navayana Buddhist anatta teaching.

---

Medium Risk Doctrines

Prayer and Intercession

Marathi name: प्रार्थना आणि मध्यस्थी
Key terms: incense, prayers of the saints
Review routing: Native speaker review

Incense symbolizing the prayers of the saints must be taught as direct access to a personal, listening God, distinguished from ritual incense-offering (उदबत्ती/धूप) to an image in Hindu पूजा and from Warkari kirtan/bhajan directed toward Vitthal.

---

Priesthood of Believers

Marathi name: विश्वासणाऱ्यांचे याजकपण
Key terms: priests, kingdom of priests
Review routing: Native speaker review

याजक must be kept distinct from पुरोहित/ब्राह्मण, hereditary caste-linked priesthood terms; Revelation’s priesthood is corporate and non-hereditary, granted to all believers alike.

---

Church as God’s People amid Persecution

Marathi name: छळामध्ये देवाची प्रजा म्हणून मंडळी
Key terms: church, lampstand, come out of her, my people
Review routing: Native speaker review

मंडळी and the lampstand imagery must convey a light-bearing witnessing community in the world, called to distinct holy allegiance (18:4) rather than literal withdrawal or asceticism, consistent with the baseline’s separation_unto_gods_service doctrine.

---

Kingdom Mission and Evangelism

Marathi name: राज्याचे मिशन आणि सुवार्ता प्रसार
Key terms: eternal gospel, proclaim to every nation
Review routing: Native speaker review

सार्वकालिक शुभवर्तमान must be taught as the one, final, universal proclamation of the gospel already established in the baseline, not one teaching among several on offer at history’s end.
