You wrote,[...That repentance can be chosen..ushers in the Kingdom of Heaven...]
The verse in Revelation is in chapter 2, verses 5 on that reads,[...Remember..from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works...]
As I read that verse, I asked myself as to repent of what? One could repent of a single thing or a multitude of things, but when I thought of it, there could be an overiding thing to repent of that all the other things could come out of. As a Jew reading what John had penned, I was directed to the book called Isaiah the 26th chapter, the 3erd verse as we read,
[...God will keep a man in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on Him, because he trusts in Him...].
