Are You Ready to Discover What GOD's
Word says about 'Mysteries of the Ages,' future trouble and conflicts, wars,
plagues, woes, future blessings, destinies of nations, rise and fall of
Empires, Triumph of the True Church, Triumphant Christ, the Antichrist’s
Defeat, and Satan’s Defeat?
When "The Great Day of GOD's Wrath comes, shall the ungodly
of the earth be able to stand?
After the event of “The First Resurrection,”
"The Great Day of God’s Wrath" begins with “the
Trumpet events.”
‘The Trumpet plagues’ begin in “The Seventh Seal” and culminates
in “The Seven Vials”.
The Ministry of "The Two Witnesses" of Revelation 11
will be in the time of "The Great Day of GOD's Wrath," and not in the
time of "The Great Tribulation."
Satan’s wrath upon the earth is Biblically called: "The
Great Tribulation".
GOD's Wrath upon the ungodly of the earth will be "The
Great Day of GOD's Wrath".
In "The Seventh Trumpet," "The Kingdom of
GOD" will be proclaimed!
Also, “The Seventh Trumpet” will announce the imminence of ‘the
fullness of GOD’s Wrath’ coming-on the nations,
when He will recompense tribulation to those who had troubled
His people.
When 'the first woe' is released, demonic forces out of the bottomless
pit, invade the earth.
In 'the second woe,' four fallen-angels bound at the great river
Euphrates, are released to lead a 200 million 'army of horsemen’ to kill a
third of mankind.
Afterwards, the ministry of “The Two Witnesses” sent to Israel,
begins.
‘The third woe’ will be “The Harvest Judgment”— upon 'the
beast's loyalists,' and worshippers. It will come upon the idolatrous and
wicked who corrupted the earth
during the power and reign of “the antichrist.”
"The Son of Man" will thrust in His sharp sickle, and
gather 'the clusters of the vine of the earth,' when her grapes are fully ripe.
Just as ‘the Trumpet Events’ unfold in “The Seventh Seal”— even
so will “the Vials Judgment” be released in “The Seventh Trumpet.”
“The Seven Vials” are ‘seven last plagues’ which are completion
of ‘the Wrath of GOD’— in them the Divine Judgment of GOD upon the earth will
be fully made manifest!
Just as "The Mystery of GOD" will be finished in
"The Seventh Trumpet," so will "The Seventh Vial" be the
completion of ‘the Great Wrath of GOD’ upon the earth.
"Mystery Babylon" amasses the world's wealth and
resources. With her tremendous wealth, she is fast becoming 'a world-wide
ruling empire'— 'a one-world super-power.'
But ultimately, the power and empire of Babylon shall be broken
by Heaven's Dominion.
By the Counsel of Heaven, her great riches shall come to naught!
NEXT MAJOR-EVENT
The Great Day of God’s
Wrath
“For the Great Day of His Wrath is come; and who shall be able to
stand?”
Revelation 6:17 KJV
The
Great Day of God’s Wrath begins!
It begins with “the Trumpets.”
It begins in verse 7 of chapter 8.
The passage in Revelation 8:1-6 is prelude to “the
Trumpets.”
‘The Trumpet plagues’ begin in “The Seventh Seal” and culminates in “The Seven Vials”.
The harm which was withheld from befalling the earth,
the sea, and the trees in Revelation 7:1-3 (during “The Sixth Seal”), will now
be unleashed in the sounding of ‘the first two Trumpets’ in “The Seventh Seal.”
The First Trumpet
The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled
with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was
burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.
Revelation 8:7 KJV
“The First Trumpet” will release hail, fire, and
blood.
And, vegetation will be struck.
The Second Trumpet
And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain
burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became
blood;
And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and
had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.
Revelation 8:8-9 KJV
“The Second Trumpet”—‘sea of blood.’
“A great mountain burning with fire” could be an
asteroid.
The Third Trumpet
And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from
heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the
rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;
And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part
of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they
were made bitter.
Revelation 8:10-11 KJV
And, there goes “The Third Trumpet.”
“The Third Trumpet” will release “Wormwood” into one-third of rivers and fountains—which will make
the waters ‘bitter-poison.’ A third of the world’s fresh water supply will be
polluted.
The Fourth Trumpet
And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was
smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as
the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of
it, and the night likewise.
And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of
heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth
by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet
to sound!
Revelation 8:12-13 KJV
When “The Fourth Trumpet” sounds, two things will
happen:
The first one (verse 12):
A third part of the sun, the moon, and the stars, will
be stricken and darkened (solar, lunar, and cosmic disturbances).
What a frightening scenario!
The second (verse 13):
The second part of “The Fourth Trumpet” is a crucial
‘sign’ — it is Heaven’s declaration of ‘three woes’—which will be 3 separate
and distinct divine judgment upon an evil and ungodly world.
Each woe will be ‘a terror.’
The ‘three woes’ occurs in “the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound.”
John saw an angel flying through the midst of heaven
(the firmament) saying with a loud voice, “Woe,
woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth…”
The first of the ‘three woes’ is “The Fifth Trumpet.”
The Fifth Trumpet
And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven
unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.
And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of
the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened
by reason of the smoke of the pit.
And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto
them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of
the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which
have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that
they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a
scorpion, when he striketh a man.
And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it;
and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.
And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto
battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces
were as the faces of men.
And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as
the teeth of lions.
And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and
the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to
battle.
And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in
their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.
And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless
pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath
his name Apollyon.
Revelation 9:1-11 KJV
The first woe
As the fifth angel sound “The Fifth Trumpet,” ‘a star’
fell from heaven (the space) to the earth, and to “him” was given ‘the key of
the bottomless pit’ to open the shaft of the abyss.
Great smoke out of the abyss darkened the sun and the
air, and ‘locusts’ came out of the smoke upon the earth.
These are not ordinary ‘locusts,’ they are demonic
forces out of the bottomless pit. They were given power to torment only those
men who do not have “the seal of GOD”
on their foreheads—so their faces were made to be ‘like the faces of men’ (Rev.
9:7).
The angel of the bottomless pit—‘Abaddon’ (Hebrew) is
‘destruction.’ In Greek is ‘Apollyon’ which is ‘destroyer.’ This is a
fallen-angel which will lead these demonic forces into the earth—to torment
people who do not have “the seal of The
Living God” on their foreheads—who had received “the mark of the beast.”
The occurrence of ‘the first woe’ is confirmed in verse 12.
One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter.
Revelation 9:12 KJV
The Sixth Trumpet
And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four
horns of the golden altar which is before God,
Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four
angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.
And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour,
and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.
And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred
thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.
And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on
them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads
of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire
and smoke and brimstone.
By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and
by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.
For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their
tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt.
Revelation 9:13-19 KJV
The second woe
‘The second woe’
is released in “The Sixth Trumpet” in two phases or 2 separate prophetic
events.
‘First-prophetic event’:
“The four
angels” bound at the great river Euphrates are ‘fallen angels.’
At the command by a voice from the four horns of the
golden altar, they will be released by the sixth angel of “The Sixth Trumpet”
to kill a third of mankind.
Two ten-thousands of ten-thousands is 200, 000, 000
That’s the number of ‘the army of the horsemen’— they will kill by fire, smoke, and by
brimstone.
The soldiers that make up this army are described to
be putting on breastplates of fire, jacinth, and brimstone—and they were riding
on horses with heads of lions.
These ‘army of horsemen’ are ‘human-soldiers,’
however, they ride on ‘horses with heads of lions— that
issued fire and smoke and brimstone out of their mouth—they are partly horses
(beasts of the field) and partly demonic forces of hell. An ‘abominable-breed’
and product of “the mystery of iniquity.”
Imagine an ‘army of horsemen’—200 million in
number—all of them riding on horses with heads “like heads of lions,” with
‘tails like serpents with heads’ and with mouths that spews-out fire, smoke,
and brimstone—they would definitely not be beasts of the forest, nor just hybrid
of any physical creatures.
In “The First Trumpet,” a third of the trees were
burnt up.
In “The Second Trumpet,” a third of the sea became
blood.
In "The Third Trumpet," the third part of
the waters became ‘wormwood.’
In "The Fourth Trumpet," the third part of
the solar, lunar, and cosmic objects were smitten.
In "The Fifth Trumpet," the sun and the air
were darkened by reason of the smoke of the opened bottomless pit, and there
came out of the smoke 'demonic forces' upon the earth, which tormented for
months, those not having “the seal of The Living God” in their foreheads.
But, in “The Sixth Trumpet,” a third of mankind will
be killed by fire, smoke, and brimstone.
The concluding verses on “The Sixth Trumpet” states:
And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues
yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship
devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which
neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:
Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries,
nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts (verses 20-21 KJV).
The Two Witnesses
And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel
stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them
that worship therein.
But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure
it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under
foot forty and two months.
And I will give power unto My two witnesses, and they shall
prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing
before The God of the earth.
And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their
mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in
this manner be killed.
These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of
their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite
the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.
And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that
ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall
overcome them, and kill them.
And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city,
which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall
see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead
bodies to be put in graves.
And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and
make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets
tormented them that dwelt on the earth.
And after three days and an half The Spirit of Life from God
entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon
them which saw them.
And they heard a great Voice from Heaven saying unto them, Come
up hither. And they ascended up to Heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld
them.
And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth
part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand:
and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to The God of Heaven.
Revelation 11:1-13 KJV
This is the ‘Second-prophetic event.’
This other part of ‘the second woe’ will happen in the
ministry of “The Two Witnesses” who will kill their enemies with fire from
their mouth, and will shut the heaven, so that no rain falls in the days of
their prophecy.
“The Two Witnesses” will be given power to prophesy
1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth.
These numbers of days are equivalent to 42 months or 3
½ years.
30 days (a month) times 42 months equals 1, 260 days
(3 ½ years).
(30 x 42 = 1260)
Note that, the 42
months of ‘Gentile rule’ from within “the outer court of the Temple” in
Jerusalem – the holy city (verse 2) was the 3 ½ years reign of “the antichrist”
(see Rev. 13:5b, 7b, 8) – the time of “The
Great Tribulation.”
But, the 1,260 days of the prophesying of “The Two
Witnesses” will be ‘a Trumpet event.’
“The Great
Tribulation” is in ‘the Seals,’ but, the prophesying of “The Two Witnesses”
is seen in ‘the Trumpets.’
Prophet Zechariah saw ‘the Two Anointed Witnesses’ as
‘two lampstands’ of solid gold (see
Zech. 4:2), and He saw them as ‘two olive
trees’ (Zech. 4:3).
They are “the
two anointed ones,” that stand by The LORD of the whole earth (Zech. 4:14).
They are “prophets.”
Their prophetic message to Israel will be accomplished
at the end of the 1,260 days. By their prophesying, they will bear testimony to
Jesus – and when they finish their testimony, “the beast that ascended out of
the bottomless pit” will make war against them, overcome them, and kill them
(just as he was given the power to make war with the saints and to overcome
them in Revelation 13:7).
And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city,
which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified
(Rev. 11:8 KJV).
The dead bodies of “The Two Witnesses” will lie in
‘the street of the great city’ ‘which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt,
where also our Lord was crucified.’
‘The great
city’ is “Jerusalem” – which at this time is still under the influence of ‘the
Gentile Rule’ of “the antichrist.”
‘The street of
the great city’ spiritually is called: “Sodom
and Egypt” – which is “Golgotha” –
that is outside Jerusalem; where also our Lord was crucified.
In Revelation 14:8 “Babylon” is referred to as ‘that great city.’
And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall
see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead
bodies to be put in graves.
And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and
make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented
them that dwelt on the earth (Rev. 11:9-10 KJV)
The ministry of these two prophets will indeed be a
‘woe’ to nations and governments.
Verse 11 says: And after three days and an half The Spirit of Life from
God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon
them which saw them (KJV)
“The Spirit of
Life” from GOD entered into them—for they are part of “The First Resurrection” in “The
Seventh Seal.” Their prophetic ministry on the earth commenced a long time
ago—in the days of The Old Testament, but, was ‘paused’ as they were
individually called up to tarry-a-while till such a time after ‘the Death and
Resurrection of our Lord’—and after the event of “The First Resurrection.”
Now, after the conclusion of their ministry on earth,
they are killed by “the beast” but, are raised to life again.
The resurrection of “The Two Witnesses” will be bad news for those on the earth who
won’t serve God.
Seven thousand men die in the earthquake that
accompanies their ascension into Heaven.
And they heard a great Voice from Heaven saying unto them, Come
up hither. And they ascended up to Heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld
them.
And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth
part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand:
and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to The God of Heaven.
Rev. 11:12-13 KJV
Verse 14 declares the fulfilment of ‘the second woe.’
“The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh
quickly” (KJV).
The ministry of "The Two Witnesses"
concludes "The Sixth Trumpet" in Revelation 11, and "The Seventh
Trumpet" begins in the same chapter—yet, "the Two Trumpets" will
actually be 3 separate prophetic-events.
Just before “The Seventh Trumpet,” “The Two Witnesses”
are sent to Israel to continue their ministry on the earth, in the time of “The
Sixth Trumpet.”
The Seventh Trumpet
And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in Heaven,
saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of
His Christ; and He shall reign for ever and ever.
And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their
seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,
Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast,
and art to come; because Thou hast taken to Thee Thy great Power, and hast
reigned.
And the nations were angry, and Thy Wrath is come, and the time
of the dead, that they should be judged, and that Thou shouldest give reward unto
Thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear Thy Name,
small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
And the Temple of God was opened in Heaven, and there was seen in
His Temple the Ark of His Testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and
thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.
Revelation 11:15-19 KJV
At the blast of "The Seventh Trumpet," loud
voices of a great multitude in Heaven will chant: "The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord,
and of His Christ..."
They shall proclaim "The Kingdom of GOD."
A time when Heaven rejoices as “the twenty-four
elders” who sit before GOD on their thrones fall on their faces and worship GOD.
They say:
“We give You thanks, O Lord God Almighty,
The One Who is and Who was and Who is to come,
Because You have taken Your Great Power and reigned” (v.17 NKJV)
They thankfully recognize the Right of our GOD and
SAVIOR to Rule and Reign over the whole world. They thankfully
observe His actual Possession of them, and Reign over them; they give Him
thanks because He has taken to Himself His Great Power, asserted His Rights,
exerted His Power, and so turned Title into Possession. They
rejoice that His Reign shall never end: He shall Reign for ever and ever!
But, the complete fulfillment of ‘the kingdoms of this world’ becoming “the kingdoms of our Lord, and of His Christ” shall be after “the
Armageddon.”
At the end of “the Battle of Armageddon,” Satan will
be chained and cast into the abyss for a thousand years. And then, a period
which is known in the Bible as “The
Millennial Reign of Christ” begins—‘the
kingdoms of this world’ then becomes ‘the kingdoms of our GOD and of His
CHRIST.’
As the seventh angel sounded his trumpet, there were
great voices in Heaven—the voices of the saints who went up in “The First
Resurrection,” and the voices of hosts of angels.
The phrase ‘great voices’ expresses that these are incalculable
number of glorified saints, who were redeemed from nations, tribes, and
tongues. In one accord they said, "The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms
of our Lord, and of His Christ..." (v.15 KJV).
These “great
voices in Heaven”—‘loud voices of a great multitude’ are just like the ones
recorded in Revelation 19:1-2.
The twenty-four elders who sat before GOD on their
seats, fell on their faces, and worshipped GOD, saying: “We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty,
which art, and wast, and art to come; because Thou hast taken to Thee Thy Great
Power, and hast reigned” (Rev. 11:17 KJV).
The duty of the twenty-four elders is to worship Him
Who lives forever, and to partake in GOD’s Divine Counsel and Heavenly
prophetic counsels as elders from their thrones.
In Revelation 4 they cast their crowns before “The
Throne of GOD,” saying:
"Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive Glory and Honour and
Power: for Thou hast created all things, and for Thy pleasure they are and were
created” (verse 11 KJV)
The adorations of ‘the
four-and-twenty elders’ give praise to "The Creator of all
things" and "The Sustainer of life" for by His Will and Pleasure
all things exist and were created.
They discovered the most profound humility, reverence,
and holy-fear in GOD's Divine Presence.
In "The Seventh Trumpet" “The Kingdom of GOD” is proclaimed.
At the sounding of “The Seventh Trumpet”—the last of
“the Trumpets”, GOD’s Kingdom declares that THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY Who is worthy
to receive Glory, Honor, and Power, has taken to Himself His Great Power—and at
the consummation of it, He begins to Reign on the earth.
Remember what Revelation 10:7 prophesied:
“But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall
begin to sound, The Mystery of God should be finished, as He hath declared to
His servants the prophets”(KJV).
"The Mystery of GOD" which already is
accomplished, shall be perfected; not when "the seventh angel" is
about to sound, but "when he shall
begin to sound."
GOD Almighty Himself announced this “Mystery” to His prophets.
Great is “The
Mystery of GOD”— it is the greatest Mystery of all!
The unfolding of this 'great Mystery' is "THE
REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST—"The One
Who is and Who was and Who is to come."
The unfolding of this “Mystery” will signify His
Coming Millennial Reign on the earth, and His Eternal Rule and Reign in
"The Eternal Perfect State."
GOD Almighty “was
manifested in the flesh.”
He was "Justified
in The Spirit."
"The Word
was made flesh"—His human form and likeness was seen by angels and
men.
His Gospel is preached in the world, as is written in
the Prophets—it began with His "messenger"—"the voice of one crying in the wilderness" who prepared “The Way of The LORD.
He is "believed
on in the world"—He is The Eternal Life, and The Light of Life—"as many as received Him, to them gave He
Power to become the sons of GOD, even to them that believe on His Name."
And He was "received
up in Glory."
And so, someday, “the
kingdoms of this world” will become “the
kingdoms of our LORD and of His CHRIST.”
And, He shall Reign over all the earth!
Revelation 11:14 declared that "the second woe" is past, and "the third woe" comes
quickly. But, “The Seventh Trumpet” will be ‘an intervening occurrence’
which will suspend the fulfillment of “the third woe” for some time, until “The
Prince of Peace” receives the loud and joyful acclamations by the saints and
angels in Heaven.
‘The nations were angry’; not only had been so, but
were so still. ‘The hearts of men’ rose up against GOD; they met His Wrath with
their own anger.
“The Seventh Trumpet” announces the imminence of ‘the
fullness of GOD’s Wrath’ coming-on the nations, when He will recompense
tribulation to those who had troubled His people. It announces that ‘the time
of Judgment of the dead’ is approaching. And, it is a time in which GOD’s
reward for His people’s faithful service, sufferings and sacrifice will be
announced.
“And the nations were angry, and Thy wrath is come, and the time
of the dead, that they should be judged, and that Thou shouldest give reward
unto Thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear Thy Name,
small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth”
(Rev.11:18).
“The Temple of GOD” and “the Ark of His Covenant”
shall be revealed in “The Seventh Trumpet.”
“And the Temple of God was opened in Heaven, and there was seen
in His Temple the Ark of His Testament: and there were lightnings, and voices,
and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail” (Rev.11:19 KJV)
Just as in “The Seventh Seal” in which were ‘noices,’
‘thunderings,’ ‘lightnings,’ and ‘an earthquake’ (ref. Rev. 8:5)—this ‘Trumpet
event’ consummates with ‘lightnings,’ ‘voices,’ ‘thunderings,’ ‘an
earthquake,’ and ‘great hail’ (Rev.11:19).
At the fulfillment of “The Seventh Trumpet,” loud and
joyful acclamations of the saints and angels will be heard in Heaven.
"The Seventh Trumpet" brings great joy to ‘the
great cloud of witnesses’ in Heaven but, to the inhabitants of the earth it
brings 'the Third Terror.'
"The nations were angry" but His Wrath has
come!
“The Great Day
of God’s Wrath” will bring about “the Fall of Babylon.”
The third woe
“The third woe” is definitely in “The Seventh
Trumpet.”
‘The third woe’ will be “The Harvest Judgment” — it
begins with “Three Angels Announcements.”
And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the Everlasting
Gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred,
and tongue, and people,
Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to Him; for
the hour of His Judgment is come: and worship Him that made Heaven, and earth,
and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is
fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the
wrath of her fornication.
And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If
any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead,
or in his hand,
The same shall drink of the wine of the Wrath of God, which is
poured out without mixture into the cup of His indignation; and he shall be
tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in
the Presence of The Lamb:
And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever:
and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and
whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
Rev. 14:6-11 KJV
The time for "The Harvest Judgment" has
come!
"Fear
GOD, and give Him glory; for the hour of His Judgment is come!"
"The great winepress of the Wrath of GOD" is
made ready!
The
Harvest Judgment
"The Son of Man" in His Great Authority will
execute “The Harvest Judgment” upon the earth. It will be like ‘a harvest and a
vintage,’ it will signify and represent GOD's Divine Judgment upon Babylon—‘the
empire of the beast.’
To the just, "The Son of Man" is "LORD
of the Harvest," but, to the ungodly of the earth He will mete out a
'Harvest Judgment'; which will finally cut-down the wicked when their
wickedness is ripe for ruin.
And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud One
sat like unto The Son of Man, having on His head a golden crown, and in His
hand a sharp sickle.
And another angel came out of the Temple, crying with a loud
voice to Him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in Thy sickle, and reap: for the
time is come for Thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.
And He that sat on the cloud thrust in His sickle on the earth;
and the earth was reaped.
And another angel came out of the Temple which is in Heaven, he
also having a sharp sickle.
And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over
fire; and cried with a loud cry to Him that had the sharp sickle, saying,
Thrust in Thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth;
for her grapes are fully ripe.
And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered
the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the Wrath of
God.
And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came
out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand
and six hundred furlongs.
Rev. 14:14-20 KJV
The LORD is altogether perfect in His
"harvest-work"— as "LORD of The Harvest," and at this-time,
as "The Son of Man" Who comes to reap ‘the earth’s harvest’— ‘a
Harvest of Judgment.’
He is "The GOD of Justice"— He will punish the
idolatrous and wicked who corrupted the earth during the power and reign of “the
antichrist.”
He will execute Judgment upon ‘the inhabitants of the
world’ – of their corruption and wickedness.
The sharp sickle in His hand is for reaping ‘a great Harvest
of Judgment’ on the earth.
"Reaping" in this passage is cutting the
inhabitants of the earth down and carrying them off, when the measure of the
sins of men is filled up, and they are ripe for destruction. GOD will spare
them no longer—He will thrust in His sickle, and the earth shall be reaped.
Just as ‘the Trumpet Events’ unfold in “The Seventh Seal”—even so will “the
Vials Judgment” be released in “The
Seventh Trumpet.”
The seven angels of “The Seven Trumpets” stood before
GOD in Revelation 8:2.
In Revelation chapter 15 verse 1, the seven angels
having “The Seven Vials” are ‘great and marvelous.’
“And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven
angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the Wrath of
God.”
Revelation 15:1 KJV
“The Seven Vials” are ‘seven last plagues’ which are
completion of ‘the Wrath of GOD’—in them the Divine Judgment of GOD upon the
earth will be fully made manifest!
Apostle John saw ‘the resurrected martyrs of Jesus’
stand on “the sea of glass” which is mingled with fire—they had gotten the
victory over “the beast,” over his image, over his mark, and over the number of
his name.
Because they stand on “the sea of glass,” every memory
of their pains and sufferings encountered on earth are gone forever—all the
‘bitter-emotions’ of their human souls and mind are gone—every memory of agony
of their death on earth are washed away forever!
They came out of “The
Great Tribulation” and washed their robes, and made them white in “The Blood of The Lamb” (see Rev.
7:14)—and so, their salvation was perfected.
Just as “The 144,000 Elect of GOD” are given harps to
play and sing new song before “The Throne of GOD” (Rev. 14:2-3), they too will
be given ‘harps of GOD’ to play and sing “The Song of Moses,” and “The Song of
The Lamb.”
And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them
that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his
mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the
harps of God.
And they sing the Song of Moses the servant of God, and the Song
of The Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are Thy works, Lord God Almighty;
Just and True are Thy ways, Thou King of saints.
Who shall not fear Thee, O Lord, and glorify Thy Name? for Thou
only art Holy: for all nations shall come and worship before Thee; for Thy Judgments
are made manifest.
Revelation 15:2-4 KJV
“The sea of glass” is before “The Throne of GOD” (see
Rev. 4:6).
“The Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony” in
Heaven was opened.
The seven angels having ‘the seven plagues’ came out
of the Temple. From one of the four living creatures, they received “Seven
Golden Vials” full of “the Wrath of GOD.”
Smoke from the Glory and Power of GOD filled the
Temple, so that no man was able to enter into the Temple.
At this time, there will be no worship in the Heavenly
Temple, until “the Wrath of GOD” is completed in the earth.
And after that I looked, and, behold, the Temple of the
Tabernacle of the Testimony in Heaven was opened:
And the seven angels came out of the Temple, having the seven
plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and having their breasts girded with
golden girdles.
And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels seven
golden vials full of the Wrath of God, Who liveth for ever and ever.
And the Temple was filled with smoke from the Glory of God, and
from His Power; and no man was able to enter into the Temple, till the seven
plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled.
Revelation 15:5-8 KJV
‘The
Vials Judgment’ begins!
And I heard a great Voice out of the Temple saying to the seven
angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the Wrath of God upon the
earth.
Revelation 16:1 KJV
The First Vial
And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and
there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the
beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.
Revelation 16:2 KJV
This will be the largest pandemic in history. Never
before has a disease of such magnitude appeared and stricken the human
population on the planet.
The ‘plague’ (sore) comes on those who have “the mark
of the beast,” and upon those who worship “the beast.”
The ‘sore’ is both ‘foul’ and ‘loathsome.’ In other
words, it is unpleasant to both the person having it, and to anyone observing
them. It is an obvious disease. Many people have diseases that are hidden, and
even though their bodies are slowly succumbing, they appear to be fine on the
outside.
But this disease will strike in an obvious fashion,
and it will be readily apparent to all who has the ‘sore.’
The Second Vial
And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it
became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.
Revelation 16:3 KJV
In this verse, it could be that the Apostle John is
referring to the Mediterranean Sea, by using the phrase: “the sea.”
Also, the words: ‘it
became’ is used in this verse—which implies a specific body of water (sea).
In any case, ‘the sea’ does not just become red—it
became as the blood of a dead man—turbid, reeking and corrupt.
The consequences of such a disaster—even on a
relatively small scale, will be tremendous. Without life in the waters, the
entire ecosystem is upset. Birds who feed on seafood will starve to death.
Predators who feed on the birds will die.
Fishermen will go broke, and some entire who depend on
the sea for livelihoods will fall into a deep financial depression.
The Third Vial
And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and
fountains of waters; and they became blood.
And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art Righteous, O
Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because Thou hast judged thus.
For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and Thou
hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.
And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God
Almighty, True and Righteous are Thy Judgments.
Revelation 16:4-7 KJV
Not only are ‘salt waters’ corrupt, now ‘fresh waters’
also are corrupt.
Just in case anyone who reads “The Book of Revelation” is starting to feel sorry for the people
going through the plagues, “the angel of the waters” declares that ‘the Vials
Judgment’ that are being poured out are deserved.
The Apostle John heard another angel out of “the Altar
in Heaven” say, "Even
so, Lord God Almighty, True and Righteous are Thy Judgments (verse 7).
The people spilled the blood of saints and prophets,
its only justice that now they must drink blood. Through the empire of “the
antichrist,” Satan poured out his wrath on the people of GOD, now GOD ALMIGHTY
is pouring out His Wrath upon those who worship “the beast” and those who have
his ‘mark.’
The ecological disaster by this point is severe. If
you recall, the sky had been assaulted possibly by meteorites, asteroids or both.
A third of the trees had been burned (Rev. 8:7),
hampering the planet’s ability to produce the required volume of oxygen, which
is necessary for life.
Waters had been polluted, killing a third of life in
them (Rev.8:8-9).
Rivers and fountains of water had been polluted with
“Wormwood,” resulting in the death of many people (Rev. 8:10-11).
Now, in “The Third Vial,” rivers and fountains of
water are turned to blood, further increasing the disasters.
The atmosphere, which was clouded and
assaulted—combined with the reduced output of ‘plant-produced oxygen,’ will be reeling.
Upon this, people will be scorched by direct heat
penetrating through the atmosphere, because the ozone layer which acts as a
shield for the earth, has been terribly depleted.
The Fourth Vial
And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power
was given unto him to scorch men with fire.
And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed The Name of
God, which hath Power over these plagues: and they repented not to give Him Glory.
Revelation 16:8-9 KJV
The fourth angel poured out the plague of his vial
upon the sun and ‘power was given unto it.’
‘Skin cancer will go through the roof’— people will
die worldwide from the increased power of the sun, which utterly has broken at
this time, the protective layers of the ozone. Without ozone, the people will
have no protection from rampant heat, and there will be nothing the doctors can
do to keep up.
The ungodly people on the earth see any form of
Judgment from GOD as oppressive and wrong; therefore, they chafe at the idea
that GOD expects them to serve Him. This attitude will only be exacerbated by
the onset of plagues and punishments for sin. Instead of softening their
hearts, the plagues will intensify their indignation at a GOD Who expects them
to repent.
The Fifth Vial
And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the
beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for
pain,
And blasphemed The God of Heaven because of their pains and their
sores, and repented not of their deeds.
Revelation 16:10-11 KJV
The fifth angel poured out the plague of his vial upon
‘the seat of the antichrist,’ and his kingdom was full of darkness—a great and ‘thick’
darkness which was felt by ‘the residents of the beast’s kingdom.’
This plague will inflict upon them intense pain and
sores. They will literally chew on their tongues in an effort to draw attention
away from their overwhelming pain.
And yet, even in this state, they don’t repent,
instead, they blaspheme The GOD of Heaven—they are in effect cursing Him for
being Just!
“The Fifth Vial” will be the last chance for people to
repent and come out of “Mystery Babylon.”
The Sixth Vial
And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river
Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the
east might be prepared.
And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth
of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the
false prophet.
For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go
forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the
battle of that Great Day of God Almighty.
Revelation 16:12-14 KJV
Remember, in the event of “The Sixth Trumpet,” the four fallen-angels bound at the great
river Euphrates were released to kill ‘a third of mankind’ (Rev. 9:13-15).
But, when ‘the vial’ of this sixth angel is poured
into the great river Euphrates, it dries up, ‘that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.’
For the Hebrews, the terms north, south, east, and
west carried certain characteristics. They were not, as in Western culture
today, simply neutral terms telling direction only.
The Scriptures speak of "the four corners of the
earth" (Isa. 11:12; Rev. 7:1; 20:8)—four parts of the world, as reckoned
by the Jews, even till date.
Several methods were used in the ancient world to
determine direction. The Hebrews used at least three of these methods: basic
direction, local geography, and the position of the sun.
The basic direction for the people of Israel was the
east-the direction of the rising sun. In determining direction, the Hebrews
faced the point where they knew the sun rose each day. Thus, the east was the
front, sometimes called the "place of dawning." All other directions
received their designations relative to the east as the front. Thus, west was
the "rear," north was on the left, and south was on the right.
Directions such as northwest and southeast were seldom used in Bible times.
"The kings of the east" from among the
nations which are in "the four corners of the earth" (the four quarters
of the earth) will in the future be a part of Satan’s rebellion (see Rev.20:8).
GOD Almighty sometimes uses the nations and the kings
of the earth as instruments for His Purpose and Work. However, He will release
Judgment and calamity upon them when their ungodliness and wickedness is due
for punishment—that they may know from 'the rising of the sun,' and 'from the
west,' that there is none beside Him.
“The Sixth Vial” is the time of preparation for “the
Battle of the Great Day of GOD Almighty.”
The great river Euphrates dries up in the time of
"The Sixth Vial," and then, 'the way of the kings of the east' is
prepared, also ‘the kings of the whole world’ begin to gather at ‘the Valley of
Megiddo.’
As “the kings of the earth” gather to the place of
“the Battle of that Great Day of GOD ALMIGHTY,” ‘the way of the kings of the
east’ to this great battle will be ‘the dried-path’ of what was the Euphrates.
The three unclean spirits like frogs are demonic
spirits that work ‘diabolical miracles’ through Satan the dragon himself, and
through the reign of “the antichrist” (the beast), and also through the
ministry of “the false prophet.”
Revelation 13:3 reveals that ‘one of the heads of the beast’ that was deadly wounded was healed,
and ‘all the world marveled after the
beast.’ And in verse 4, the people worshipped “the dragon,” and they
worshipped “the beast.”
And so, ‘the diabolical miracles’ are ‘diabolical
signs’ performed by demons—these ‘diabolical signs and wonders’ ‘go forth unto the kings of the earth,’ and
to the whole world to gather them to the Battle of that Great Day of GOD
ALMIGHTY’ (Rev. 16:14).
Revelation 13 speaking of “the false prophet” said:
And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from
heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those
miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them
that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had
the wound by a sword, and did live (Rev 13:13-14 KJV).
This passage reveals that he ‘deceives those who dwell on
the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight
of the beast.’
Through the ‘diabolical signs and miracles’ performed
by Satan’s seat of power, and by ‘the reign of the beast,’ and by ‘the ministry
of the false prophet,’ the nations will be gathered together into ‘the Valley
of Megiddo.’
They are clearly intent on fighting GOD. The
‘diabolical miracles’ are instrumental in convincing them they can win.
But, they are coming to the Battle of that Great Day
of GOD ALMIGHTY!
JESUS CHRIST Himself will win this battle (revealed in
chapter 19).
Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth
his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
Rev. 16:15 KJV
Why are these Words of Jesus recorded in this verse in
“The Sixth Vial?”
This is written and prophesied in “The Sixth Vial” as
revealed to Apostle John, because it is a declaration of the next great event
to occur in the earth — after “the Vials Judgment”— and that will be “The Second Coming of Christ” which His
people must watch out for. This is in-line with GOD’s Divine Endtime Program.
It is important to note that “the destruction of
Babylon” will be in the time of fulfillment of Revelation chapter 18.
And, “the Battle
of that Great Day of GOD ALMIGHTY” will only actually begin in Revelation
chapter 19 just after The Return of “THE KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS” — in
the great event of His ‘Second Coming’ with “they
that are with Him” who “are called,
and chosen, and faithful.”
And so, they must ‘keep watch’— watching
for ‘The Coming of The Lord,’ and “keep their garments” (wash and keep their
robes ready) so they will not need to walk naked and ashamed like Babylon that
would be ‘desolate and naked’ as seen in Revelation17:16.
The Lord Jesus told His disciples, “Watch therefore:
for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. But know this, that if the goodman of the house
had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would
not have suffered his house to be broken up” (Matt.
24:42-43 KJV)
And, He warns His Church, “Remember therefore how thou hast received and
heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will
come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon
thee” (Rev.
3:3 KJV)
And He gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew
tongue Armageddon.
Rev. 16:16 KJV
New King James Version and some other versions states
this verse like this:
And
they gathered them together to the place called in Hebrew, Armageddon.
The correct phrase of first five words that begin this
verse in the original expression is:
“And
He gathered them together…” which is in the King
James Version (KJV).
In Ezekiel 39 is The LORD's prophecy of Christ's
'Triumphant Feast,' which will come to pass at the place of "the Battle of
that Great Day of GOD ALMIGHTY.’
He said to Prophet Ezekiel:
And, thou son of man, thus saith The Lord GOD; Speak unto every
feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come;
gather yourselves on every side to My sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you,
even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh, and
drink blood.
Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the
princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them
fatlings of Bashan.
And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be
drunken, of My sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.
Thus ye shall be filled at My table with horses and chariots,
with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith The Lord GOD.
Ezek. 39:17-20 KJV
GOD ALMIGHTY Himself shall ‘gather them together’—
rulers
and their armies. He Himself will ‘set the table,’ it will
be ‘His sacrificial meal’ on the mountains of Israel.
The Seventh Vial
And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there
came a great Voice out of the Temple of Heaven, from the Throne, saying, It is
done.
And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there
was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty
an earthquake, and so great.
And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities
of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give
unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His Wrath.
And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.
And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone
about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of
the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.
Revelation 16:17-21 KJV
The first angel pours “The First Vial” upon the earth.
The second angel pours “The Second Vial” into the sea.
The third angel pours “The Third Vial” into the rivers
and fountains of water.
The fourth angel pours “The Fourth Vial” upon the sun.
The fifth angel pours “The Fifth Vial” upon ‘the
throne of the beast.’
The sixth angel pours “The Sixth Vial” into the great
river Euphrates.
And, in the time of “The Seventh Vial,” the seventh
angel will pour out his vial into the air.
Revelation 16:17 begins in the NKJV with the pronoun:
“then” but, verse 19 begins with the pronoun:
“now.” This shows that there would be
a distance in time, when ‘the seventh angel’ pours out his vial into the air,
and when the great city of Babylon will split into three parts.
Verses 17 and 18 prophesies ‘the early events,’ while
verses 19 to 21 speaks of ‘sundry events’.
When the seventh angel poured out his vial into the
air, a great Voice out of The Throne of GOD in The Temple of Heaven declared
“It is done!”
“It
is done” means “it is finished”—“it is accomplished.”
Remember, in Revelation chapter 10 Apostle John saw a
mighty angel declare:
"...there should be
time no longer." (Rev 10:6 KJV)
New King James Version states: "there should be delay no longer."
And, New Living Translation declares "God will wait no longer.”
GOD’s Endtime Program would no longer delay to be
unveiled!
And, GOD ALMIGHTY will wait no longer!
Just as "The Mystery of GOD" will be
finished in "The Seventh Trumpet" (Rev 10:7), so will "The
Seventh Vial" be the completion of ‘the Great Wrath of GOD’ upon the
earth.
In Revelation chapter 10, a mighty angel comes down
from Heaven. He is clothed with a cloud, having a rainbow upon his head, his
face shining like the sun, and his feet are like pillars of fire (verse 1).
In verse 3, he cries with a loud voice, as when a lion
roars, and “seven thunders” utter their voices.
The statement of “the seven thunders” are sealed
(verse 4).
In verses 5 and 6 Apostle John states:
“And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth
lifted up his hand to Heaven,
And sware by Him that liveth for ever and ever, Who created Heaven,
and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein
are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time
no longer” (KJV).
This is fascinating — Albert Einstein’s ‘theory of
relativity’ (now known as “The Law of Relativity”) stated that time is a part
of the universe.
Before GOD created the universe, time did not exist
either.
‘Time’ is a property of space, and without space, time
won’t exist.
So, this angel proclaiming ‘the end of time’ is also
proclaiming ‘the end of the universe.’
When the seventh angel pours out his vial (Rev.
16:17)—then, the Mighty Angel of GOD's Presence will declare: "It is done!"
“The Judge of the whole earth” will declare: "It is done!"
This means, with this final ‘Vial-Judgment’ comes the
completion of “The Wrath of GOD” upon the earth — with it GOD’s Divine Judgment
will be completely executed; every plague and calamity shall be completed!
Just as "The
Seventh Seal" and "The
Seventh Trumpet" will be consummated with noises, thunderings,
lightnings, and earthquake (Rev. 8:5; 11:19), so shall "The Seventh
Vial" unleash noises and thunderings and lightnings, and a great
earthquake.
"And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and
there was a great earthquake..." (Rev. 16:18 KJV).
This will be the most severe earthquake the earth has
ever endured. Entire cities will fall at its power, mountains will be
flattened. The earth will be completely changed as a result of this
earthquake’s ministry.
“And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities
of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give
unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His Wrath” (Rev 16:19 KJV).
This earthquake will split Babylon into three parts, and
it will collapse cities of nations.
In “The Seventh Vial,” GOD remembers “Babylon the
Great,” to give unto her “the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His Wrath.”
“The cup of the
wine of the fierceness of His Wrath” is ‘the cup of His fury’—it
is ‘the cup of trembling.’
"The Day of The Lord's Wrath" (Zeph. 1:18)
is identical with "The Great Day of The Lord."
The Great Day of The LORD is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly,
even the voice of the Day of The LORD: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly
(Zeph. 1:14 KJV).
These terms refer to "the Wrath of The Lamb"
(Rev. 6:16).
"And every island fled away, and the mountains were not
found" (Rev. 16:20 KJV).
The great earthquake, and cosmic disturbances of
Revelation 6 are only ‘Heaven’s announcement’ of “The Great Day of GOD’s
Wrath.”
But, the earth will be utterly shaken by "The
Seventh Vial"—'islands will give way' and 'mountains will flee.'
This will be the completion of ‘the Great Wrath of
GOD.’
Execution of “The Great Day of GOD’s Wrath” begins in
“The Seventh Seal” progresses through 'the Trumpet plagues,' and consummates in
'the Vials Judgment.'
"And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every
stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the
plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great” (Rev. 16:21 KJV).
This ‘last vial’ will unleash a terrible hailstorm—according
to New Living Translation: 'hailstones
weighing seventy-five pounds' [each].
A terrible 'plague of hail.'
In Revelation chapter 17, one of the seven angels who
had the seven vials announces to John that, JESUS CHRIST—The Lamb of GOD will
overcome “the beast” and the kings who are allied with him—for He is “LORD of
lords, and KING of kings.”
Though the kings will be of "one mind" and
'will give their power and authority to the beast,' yet they will meet their
defeat at the hand of "The LORD of Hosts."
“These shall make war with The Lamb, and The Lamb shall overcome
them: for He is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with Him
are called, and chosen, and faithful” (Rev 17:14 KJV).
This prophetic-verse will be fulfilled in ‘the
Armageddon.’
In this same chapter “Mystery Babylon” is described.
One of the angels of ‘the Vials Judgment’ showed John
the Judgment that is to come upon Babylon.
“Babylon
the Great is that city which reigns over the kings of the earth”— she is “the
Mother of Harlots and Abominations of the Earth”
(ref. Rev. 17:5, 18).
“She
sits upon ‘many waters’— many people, multitudes, nations, and tongues”
(see verse 15).
“Babylon” is a ‘mystery’— this is why the name
inscribed upon the forehead of ‘the great harlot’ in this chapter begins with
the word: “Mystery.”
“And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE
GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH” (Rev 17:5 KJV).
“She
has a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her
[idolatries]” (and her sins and corruption).
“And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and
decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her
hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication”(Rev 17:4 KJV).
“She
is drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of
Jesus” (see verse 6).
The angel revealed to John, “the mystery of the
woman,” and “the mystery of the beast.”
“The beast was, and is not, and shall ascend out of
the bottomless pit, and go into perdition”
“The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out
of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition…” (Rev 17:8a KJV).
Now, ‘about 2 millennia’ after this was revealed to
John the Apostle, “the beast” ascended out of the bottomless pit, yet he will
go into perdition.
Inhabitants of the earth marveled at the sight of “the
beast” ‘that was, and is not, and yet is.’
“… and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names
were not written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world, when
they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is” (Rev 17:8b KJV).
The world will yet marvel again, and wonder after “the
beast” (the antichrist) ‘when his deadly wound is healed.’
“And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his
deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast” (Rev 13:3
KJV).
“The woman” is ‘that great city’— first, in earlier
centuries, was Rome; when she was the seat of “The Roman Empire.”
Now, is rising as “Mystery Babylon” which will emerge
as the headquarters of a one-world government.
“She reigns over the kings of the earth”
“And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which
reigneth over the kings of the earth” (Rev 17:18 KJV).
This further reveals that “Mystery Babylon” is ‘a union of church and state.’
“Babylon” is a ‘mystery’—
that ‘mystery’ is “the mystery of
iniquity.”
The
Fall of Babylon
Revelation chapter 18.
This is “the Fall of Babylon!”
An angel with great power and glory comes down from
Heaven, and with a strong voice declares “the Fall of Babylon!”
“And after these things I saw another angel come down from Heaven,
having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.
And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the
great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the
hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her
fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her,
and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies”
Revelation 18:1-3 KJV
Apostle John states in the following verses:
“And I heard another Voice from Heaven, saying, Come out of her,
My people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her
plagues.
For her sins have reached unto Heaven, and God hath remembered
her iniquities.
Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double
according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.
How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so
much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen,
and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning,
and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is The Lord
God Who judgeth her.
And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and
lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they
shall see the smoke of her burning,
Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas,
alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy
judgment come” (Rev 18:4-10 KJV).
Several things are notable in this passage:
·
The very glorying this empire engages in
will be a catalyst for its judgment. Its economic prowess and the fist-shaking
at GOD that results from that independence will turn on it and become the
reason for its destruction.
·
The kings of the earth will mourn for “Babylon”—from far off, because they fear
“her torment.” This could easily fit the aftermath of nuclear destruction;
fallout would keep all but the most technologically adept at bay.
·
The destruction of “Babylon” comes in “one hour”
(one-prophetic hour). A nuclear strike is certainly not the only interpretation
for this passage, but it is one possibility.
·
If it is a nuclear strike that destroys
“Babylon,” it certainly will not come from America, or China, or Russia—it will
come from “the ten kings” (ten rulers) from within the European Union. For more
clarity on this read: Revelation 17:12-18
Babylon’s tremendous wealth, built upon the commodity
every nation desires—oil—will have made it a huge importer of goods.
“Babylon”
will be super-rich. It will have money to burn, so to speak, and will buy all
the goods of the world she can buy. But, at this time, Divine Judgment comes
speedily upon Babylon!
Without the stable crude oil and the overwhelming
resources, and wealth of “Babylon,” the world’s economy will fall apart, and
nobody will be buying her products any more!
And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for
no man buyeth their merchandise any more:
The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of
pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood,
and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood,
and of brass, and iron, and marble,
And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and
wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses,
and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.
Rev. 18:11-13 KJV
We read in Revelation 17:16 that, 'the kings' who lent
their power to "the antichrist" will turn on him and destroy his city
— Babylon.
And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall
hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh,
and burn her with fire (KJV)
A doleful lamentation will be made by Babylon's
friends for her sudden fall. Her mourners had been deluded by her idolatry, sensual
pleasures, and her great wealth. The kings of the earth, and merchants of the
earth had been flattered into her idolatry—they had been arbitrary and
tyrannical over their subjects, while they were obsequious to her; they will
mourn, because by this craft they got their wealth.
And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee,
and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou
shalt find them no more at all.
The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall
stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,
And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine
linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and
pearls!
For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster,
and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood
afar off,
And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What
city is like unto this great city!
And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing,
saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships
in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.
Rev. 18:14-19 KJV
In “one hour”
so great riches came to nought!
All the ship-owners and captains of the merchant ships
and their crews stood afar off; even Babylon's friends will stand at a distance
from her fall. Though they had been partakers with her in her sins, and in her illicit
and corrupt profits, they were not willing to bear a share in her plagues.
They made a grievous outcry: ‘Alas! Alas! That great
city, Babylon, that mighty city!’
They wept, and cast dust upon their heads. The
pleasures of Babylon’s sins are but for a season, and they will end in dismal
sorrow.
All those who rejoice in the thriving of the Church's
enemies will share with them in their downfall; and those who have indulged
themselves in the pride and pleasure of Babylon shall bear her calamities;
their sorrows will be as excessive as their pleasure and jollity were before.
The world will mourn Babylon’s Fall.
Heaven
Rejoices Over Babylon’s Fall
Heaven will rejoice over “the Fall of Babylon,” for
the great men, the rich, and merchants of the earth profited from her
fraudulent and mischievous riches. By her sorceries were all nations deceived.
And in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints.
“Rejoice over her, thou Heaven, and ye holy apostles and
prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.
And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and
cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon
be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.
And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and
trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever
craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone
shall be heard no more at all in thee;
And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and
the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in
thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries
were all nations deceived.
And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of
all that were slain upon the earth.
Rev. 18:20-24 KJV
The Church of Jesus Christ is built upon “The Rock”—He is “The Rock of Ages”—a solid foundation forever!
But, “Mystery Babylon” will fall!
The Fall of Babylon will be an utter overthrow.
As Heaven exults over Babylon’s Fall, how universal
will this joy be: Heaven and all New Creation, angels of Heaven and saints of
all time, shall rejoice, for the finality of Babylon’s Fall has come.
“The Fall of Babylon” will be an act of GOD's
vindictive Justice.
He will avenge His people's cause. They had committed
their cause to Him to whom vengeance belongs, and now ‘the time of recompense’ has
come.
Babylon’s Fall will be irrecoverable ruin — for her lawlessness
and her corruption, for her injustices, persecution, tribulation, and martyrdom
against the saints and against Israel, for her blasphemies, sorceries, and
idolatries, for her deceptions and delusion and intrigues, for her false
prophecies, and false teachings, for her diabolical mystery, and her
'abomination of desolation.'
Babylon's Fall will be irrevocable.
In "one
hour" she will be made desolate, and afterwards, utterly destroyed!
She killed many with sword, with famine, with 'death'
and by “the beasts of the earth." ‘She made all nations drink of the wine
of the wrath of her fornication.’ By her sorceries were all nations deceived. And
in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were
slain upon the earth. Her sins have reached to heaven, and GOD
has remembered her iniquities.
This will be the finality of Babylon's Fall.
This enemy of GOD’s people should never rise again,
and of this we were assured by a remarkable token.
“And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and
cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon
be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all” (Rev. 18:21 KJV).
In Revelation 19, after “the Vials Judgment,” once
again, loud voices will be heard in Heaven—a great multitude rejoicing over
Babylon’s destruction—declaring:
“Alleluia; Salvation, and Glory, and Honour, and Power, unto The
Lord our God: For True and Righteous are His Judgments: for He hath judged the
great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged
the blood of His servants at her hand” (v.v.1-2 KJV).
This event in chapter 19 will take place just before “The Marriage Supper of The Lamb.”
In Revelation 11 they declared that, “The kingdoms of
this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of His Christ; and He shall
reign for ever and ever” (v. 15 KJV) — which is a declaration of
Christ's Millennial Reign and His Eternal Reign.
But, here in chapter 19 they praise GOD for His
Righteous Judgment on Babylon.
The following verses of Revelation 19 states:
And again they said, “Alleluia.” And her smoke rose up for ever
and ever.
And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and
worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, “Amen; Alleluia” (v.v. 3-4 KJV)
Verse 5 says:
And a Voice came out of the throne, saying, “Praise our God, all
ye His servants, and ye that fear Him, both small and great” (KJV)
Verse 6:
And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the
voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying,
“Alleluia: for The Lord God omnipotent reigneth” (KJV)
The host of Heaven in “the Throne Room of Heaven”
worship GOD always for the wonders of His Creation of all things, saying:
“Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is
to come” (Rev 4:8 KJV).
The twenty-four elders worship Him that Lives forever,
saying:
“Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power:
for thou hast created all things, and for Thy pleasure they are and were
created” (Rev 4:11 KJV).
Now, at the completion of the long-awaited ‘Vials
Judgment’ upon Babylon, the citizens of Heaven declare:
“Alleluia; Salvation, and Glory, and Honour, and Power, unto The
Lord our God…” (Rev. 19:1b KJV).
They make this declaration because of GOD’s Righteous
Judgment upon “MYSTERY BABYLON THE
GREAT.”
