Jn 1:51c ... "and the Angels of God ascending and descending, ..."

The sixth phrase of verse 51 has these 8 dialog words that Jesus says to Nathanael, ... kai tous aggelous tou theou avabainontas kai katabainontas (and the Angels of God ascending and descending).

Diagram 1: The 8 dialog words are top down. The white trapezoid of the previous diagram now breaks into three triangles to carry the eight words down to Nathanael. The words show where to place the angels and what they should do. Nathanael was forced down to the triangle in the lower fourth of the graph to make room for the coming angels.

Diagram 2: shows God the Father and the Holy Spirit in the highest door of Heaven. Two of God's "Spirit Angels" are ascending and descending on the outlines of a staircase (Jacob's Ladder) from heaven above to the earth below. The word "avabainontas" (ascending) is tangent to the triangle holding the angel who is going up the ladder. The word "katabainontas" (descending) is tangent to the triangle holding the angel who is going down the ladder.
