Study And Meditation of The Book Of Revelation

INTRODUCTION

LET US ESTABLISH AND LAY DOWN THE FOUNDATION OF OUR APPROACH TO THIS STUDY AND MEDITATION OF THE WORD OF GOD FOR A SOUND AND BALANCED INTERPRETATION OF IT.

MY DISCLOSURE HERE IS THAT WE SEE AND KNOW IN PART SINCE THE WORD OF GOD IS HIDDEN IN LAYERS, REVEALED AT THE RIGHT TIME. IT IS THROUGH THE SPIRIT OF GOD THAT HIS WORD IS REVEALED TO THOSE WHO YIELD, SEEK AND BELIEVE IN THE TRUTH OF THE SCRIPTURES,

OUR APPROACH HERE WILL BE OF CONSTANT QUESTIONING AND MEDITATION WITH JESUS IN EVERYTHING WE SEEK AND ASK OF THIS BOOK – WE WILL TRY TO DIG IN AS DEEP AS POSSIBLE LEAD BY THE HOLY SPIRIT INTO THE WORD . THE UNDERSTANDING AND REVELATION WILL COME ACCORDING TO HIS WILL AND PROPORTIONALLY TO OUR HUNGER FOR THE TRUTH. THE TIME OF GOD IS NOW FOR GREATER REVELATION.

I SAY THE TIMING OF GOD BASED ON CURRENT HEBREW CALENDAR. DO YOU KNOW WHAT YEAR ARE WE IN THE HEBREW CALENDAR? WHAT HAS JUST COMPLETED IN THE LAST DECADE? ACCORDING TO JONNY ENLOW

“The 5770-5779 Window is Completed. For those who follow the Hebraic Calendar, you know that the present 5779 year is closing out a most important decade. In the number 70 there is the Hebrew letter Ayin associated with it and it carries the picture symbol for the eye. For the 2010-2019 decade the primary focus has been on SEEING. I have covered that fact in virtually every year of this 5770-5779 decade. Battles are won and lost at the point of SEEING,”

SO BACKLE UP AND GET READY TO BE MORE AMAZED OF HIS WORD THAT IS ETERNAL LIFE FOR US

SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE BOOK

REVELATION

MEANING OF THE WORD
1- A surprising and previously unknown fact, especially one that is made way in a dramatic way.
2) The divine or supernatural disclosure to humans.

Its title is derived from the first word of the text, written in Koine Greek: apokalypsis, meaning “unveiling” or “revelation” (before title pages and titles, books were commonly known by their first words, as is also the case of the Hebrew Five Books of Moses (Torah)).
The Book of Revelation is the only apocalyptic document in the New Testament canon (although there are short apocalyptic passages in various places in the Gospels and the Epistles).[a]

WHAT IS THE BOOK OF REVELATION UNVEILING? (to remove the cover or shroud from, esp in the ceremonial unveiling of a monument, etc. to remove the veil from (one’s own or another person’s face) (tr) to make (something secret or concealed) known or public; divulge; reveal.)

THERE IS NO CLEAR INTERPRETATION OR APPROACH TO THE BOOK OF REVELATION WITHOUT THE OLD TESTAMENT SCRIPTURES AND THE RIGHT CONTEXT OF IT . THE BOOK OF REVELATION ITSELF HAS MORE CITATIONS AND QUOTES FROM THE OLD TESTAMENT THAN ANY OTHER BOOK FROM THE NEW TESTAMENT – THIS ALSO DEMANDS KNOWING THE OLD TESTAMENT IN ORDER FOR BETTER INTERPRETATION AND REVELATION OF THE BOOK OF REVELATION

OLD TESTAMENT SPECIALLY FROM THE BOOK OF DANIEL SPEAKS OF THE END TIMES IN A BROADER VIEW WHILE THE NEW TESTAMENT SPECIALLY IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION IS MORE DESCRIPTIVE FULL OF INSIGHTS.

AS TO THE AUTHORS OF THE BOOK OF DANIEL AND REVELATION, IT IS INTERESTING TO SEE BOTH DANIEL AND AP JOHN WERE LIVING IN CRUCIAL TIMES OF THEIR LIVES DURING THE CAPTIVITY AND DESTRUCTION OF ISRAEL

IN ADDITION, BOTH AUTHORS HAD HEAVENLY EXPERIENCES AND REVELATION AT OLD AGE – THEY WERE MATURED AND APPROVED MEN OF GOD WHO FAITHFULLY WERE QUALIFIED TO REPORT ALL THAT THEY SAW AND HEARD

SO LET US START FROM MAKING ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTIONS REGARDING THE BOOK OF REVELATION

WHAT IS THE BOOK OF REVELATION ALL ABOUT?
WHAT IS THE THEME – SUBJECT, THE TOPIC OF THE BOOK?

THINK ABOUT IT

REVELATION OF WHOM AND WHAT? WHY?
WHAT IS THE REASON OF SUCH REVELATION?

Psalm 67 starts with this verse, “God be merciful to us and bless us, and cause His face to shine upon us, that Your way may be known on the earth; Your salvation among all nations.”

WHAT IS GODS WAY IF NOT THROUGH JESUS?
WHO IS GODS SALVATION AMONG ALL NATIONS IF NOT HIS SON HE SENT?

REVELATION IS ABOUT HIS SON JESUS CHRIST

WHO RECEIVED THE REVELATION TO REPORT IT FAITHFULLY?
WHY DID AP JOHN RECEIVE A SIMILAR REVELATION AS DANIEL DID?

THE BOOK OF REVELATION BRINGS A PERSPECTIVE OF HEAVEN AS ONE MAN CALLED JOHN – DISCIPLE AND BONDSERVANT OF JESUS CHRIST WAS CALLED TO GO UP IN SPIRIT INTO HEAVEN AND REPORT FAITHFULLY ALL WHAT HE HEARD AND SAW

IN ORDER TO RECEIVE SUCH REVELATION, JOHN WAS CALLED AND CHOSEN AS HIS SPIRIT YIELDED IN OBEDIENCE TO THE HOLY SPIRIT TO GO TO A DIMENSION IN THE 3rd HEAVEN WHERE FLESH DOES NOT HAVE ACCESS TO IT

SO BOOK OF REVELATION IS A UNIQUE BOOK DIFFERENT FROM ALL THE OTHER BOOKS AND LETTERS OF THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENT FOR IT HAS MORE PERSPECTIVE OF HEAVEN LIKE ANY OTHER BOOK

IT IS REMOVING ANY HIDDEN SECRET OR DOUBT OF WHO JESUS IS AND WHAT HE HAS DONE IN THE PAST PRESENT AND FUTURE

GODS LIGHT OF TRUTH IS SHINNING OVER THE PERSON OF THE GOD SON JESUS REVEALING WHO HE IS

JESUS IS BEING KNOWN OF WHO HE WAS, IS AND HE IS TO COME
HIS APPEARANCE IN GLORY – FACE – CHARACTER, BEAUTY , AUTHORITY, WORTH, HOLINESS, DESIRE, PLANS AND DEEDS

WITH THE REVELATION OF JESUS, IT IS KEY TO IDENTIFY THE THEMES OF THE BOOK

AGAIN WHAT IS THE THEME, TOPIC , THE SUBJECT OF IT ?

ACCORDING TO SAMUEL ONE OF THE LEADERS AT IHOP IN KANSAS CITY AND I QUOTE ” A. First of all we must understand the book of Revelation is a book of majesty, mystery, and misery. We need to understand the primary themes in that order. Too many neglect the subject of majesty and end up with an unbalanced view of the book. ”

3 M – MAJESTY, MYSTERY AND MISERY

I PERSONALLY AGREE WITH THE 3 M AND IT MUST BE IN THIS ORDER –
LET US POINT OUT THAT THERE IS DIVINE ORDER AND IT IS VITAL – IF THE ORDER OF GODS WORD IS MISPLACED IT CAN GIVE SPACE TO CONFUSION AND UNBELIEF

MAJESTY
MYSTERY
MISERY

THE REVELATION OF JESUS AND END TIMES ARE NOT FOCUSED FIRST ABOUT THE HISTORY OF MAN OR THE END OF GODs ORIGINAL CREATION ALTHOUGH SPEAKS ABOUT IT

THE REVELATION OF JESUS AND THE END TIMES ARE NOT MAINLY FOCUSED ABOUT THE FUTURE TIMES ALTHOUGH SPEAKS ABOUT IT

THE REVELATION OF JESUS AND END TIMES ARE NOT MAINLY FOCUSED ON SYMBOLISM ALTHOUGH SPEAKS ABOUT MYSTERIES

IT IS FOCUSED IN :

MAJESTY

1 FIRST THEME – THE FOCUS POINT ABOVE ALL IS GOD SHINNING HIS FACE (Psalms 67) OF REVELATION AND MAJESTY, BEAUTY, POWER, AUTHORITY, WORTH REGARDING HIS SON THE BRIDEGROOM JESUS, HIS BRIDE THE CHURCH AND HIS ETERNAL KINGDOM IN A NEW HEAVEN AND EARTH

MYSTERY
2nd THEME – IT IS ALSO FULL OF MYSTERY WITH SYMBOLIC FEATURES BUT IT MUST BE UNDERSTOOD WHEN STUDIED IN CONTEXT WITH THE OLD TESTAMENT INTERPRETATION. WITHOUT THE CONTEXT OF UNDERSTANDING THE OLD TESTAMENT OF GODS MYSTERIES AND PLAN OF THE REDEMPTION OF MAN KIND THROUGH HIS SON, THE BOOK OF REVELATION CAN BECOME INTIMIDATING, CONFUSING AND MISS UNDERSTOOD BY MANY EVEN BELIEVERS.

MISERY
3rd THEME SPEAKS OF CLEAR JUDGEMENT ON THE EARTH AGAINST EVERY WICKEDNESS AND SIN RESULTING IN TERRIBLE MISERY AND PAIN IN ALL CREATION. THE JUDGMENT COMES FROM THE ONE WHO IS NOT ONLY SEEN AS A LAMB OF GOD WHO REMOVE SIN , BUT AS THE LION OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH WHO BRINGS MERCY AND JUDGEMENT WITH THE HIGHEST AUTHORITY IN HEAVEN AND EARTH. HE IS THE THE ONE WHO COMES SEATED ON A WHITE HORSE. AND WITH THE SWORD THAT COMES FROM HIS MOUTH. HE DESTROYS THE ANTICHRIST (THE BEAST) THE FALSE PROPHET AND ALL SATAN’s ARMIES. THE DESTRUCTION IS SO SEVERE IN THE EARTH THAT CREATURES LIKE VULTURES ARE CALLED TOO FEAST ON SUCH DEATH AND DESTRUCTION – SUCH JUDGEMENT HAPPENS TWICE – ONE WITH THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS AND THE LAST BATTLE AFTER THE 1000 YEARS OF JESUS REIGN ON EARTH

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT FOR THE THEME OF THE BOOK TO BE IN THIS ORDER ?

REVELATION OF JESUS AND HIS MAJESTY

MYSTERY WITH SYMBOLS AND SIGNS

MISERY AND JUDGMENT ON GODS CREATION IN THIS EARTH AND HEAVEN

DOES THE ORDER HERE MAKE A DIFFERENCE FOR A BALANCED UNDERSTANDING AND INTERPRETATION OF THE BOOK OF REVELATION?

YES IT DOES . GODS KINGDOM IS A KINGDOM OF DIVINE ORDER.

IF PEOPLE REMOVE THE MAIN THEME OR FOCUS POINT FROM HEAVENS PERSPECTIVE, WHICH IT IS TO UNVEIL THE TRUTH OF JESUS, HIS MAJESTY AND GLORY OUT FROM HIS PLACE OF SUPREMACY, BELIEVERS OR NOT ARE BLIND AND DO NOT KNOW JESUS INTIMATELY

JESUS IS THE CORNERSTONE, THE FOUNDATION OF THE REVELATION OF TRUE FAITH , HOPE AND LOVE. ANY PERSON BEING A BELIEVER OR NOT WHO STARTS HIS UNDERSTANDING AND BELIEFS ON THE WRONG FOOT ( UNBALANCED VIEW AND PERSPECTIVE) SETS THE FOUNDATION OF HIS OR HER OWN UNDERSTANDING AND BELIEFS BASED ON THOUGHTS, IDEAS AND WORDS NOT ALIGNED WITH THE TRUTH OF JESUS – THIS IS A SOUL/FLESH HUMANISTIC REASONING APPROACH AND NOT BY THE SPIRITUAL INTERPRETATION/DISCERNMENT THAT COMES FROM THE HOLY SPIRIT

SPIRITUAL DISCERNMENT SETS JESUS ABOVE ALL THINGS .
WORLD WISDOM AND DEMONIC TEACHING SET MAN AND THEIR IDEOLOGIES AS THE CENTER AND JESUS REVELATION AS EQUAL OR LESS

TRUE DISCERNMENT STARTS FROM LISTENING AND LEARNING FROM THE HOLY SPRIT INTO THE SPIRIT OF MAN AFFECTING HIS OR HER SPIRIT, SOUL AND BODY AND NOT THE WAY AROUND. THE SPRIT OF MAN IS QUICKEN BY THE REVELATION OF JESUS BY THE HOLY SPIRIT THAT DWELLS IN THE SPIRIT OF MAN.,

JOHN THE APOSTLE RECEIVED THE REVELATION IN HIS SPIRIT AND HE WAS TAKEN INTO A DIMENSION THAT ONLY OUR SPIRIT CAN GO – NO FLESH HAS ACCESS TO IT

ALL THINGS EVEN OUR SANCTIFICATION START WITH OUR SPIRIT BEING RENEWED AND NOT WITH OUR SOUL OR BODY FIRST.
“And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.I Tess 5:23

AGAIN HUMANISTIC REASONING AND WORLD WISDOM IS BASED ON HUMAN SINFUL NATURE AND FLESH DESIRES WITH DEMONIC INFLUENCE OF SATAN LIES AND DECEIT)

LET US POINT OUT – DEMONIC TEACHING WILL ALWAYS TRY TO DIMINISH JESUS AUTHORITY, HONOR AND WORTH. IT TRIES TO REMOVE OR SET JESUS AND HIS WORD AS EQUAL OR LESS TO OTHER PEOPLE, IDEAS OR FALSE GODS

THE WORLD WISDOM WILL ALWAYS TRY TO EXALT AND ELEVATE HUMAN EXISTENCE AND SURVIVAL. ITS WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING ARE MADNESS FOUNDED ON VALUES AND IDEOLOGY CONTRARY TO THE WORD OF GOD WHERE THOUGHTS AND DEEDS INFLUENCED BY SATAN LIES AND TEACHINGS

HOLY SPIRIT DISCERNMENT AND GODLY UNDERSTANDING WILL ALWAYS SPEAK THE TRUTH AND EXALT JESUS ABOVE ALL THINGS IN HEAVEN AND EARTH
FOR THE UNBELIEVERS , THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PRESENCE AND THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT INSIDE OF THEM TO DISCERN THE TRUTH OF GOD SINCE THEY LIVE A LIFE OF SIN AND ARE BLIND TO THE TRUTH OF GODS WORD – THEIR SPIRIT IS NUMBED

AS FOR THE BELIEVERS, THEIR HEART AND SPIRIT CAN BECOME DULL OR INSENSITIVE TO THE SPIRIT AND WORD OF GOD. THE STONY HEART COMES FROM DISOBEDIENCE, HIDDEN SIN, RELIGIOUS SPIRIT, BITTERNESS AS WELL AS UNFORGIVING HEART. IT IS ROOTED ON SELFISH AMBITION, LOVE OF THIS WORLD , PRIDE OF LIFE AS KEY FACTORS TO CAUSE A DULL SPIRIT.

CONSEQUENTLY IMMATURE BELIEVERS IN THE BABY FAITH STAGE ARE NOT ABLE TO DISCERNMENT PROPERLY AND CAN BECOME BLIND TO THE REVELATION OF THE TRUTH OF THE DIFFERENT DIMENSION, LAYERS AND DEPHTS OF THE WORD OF GOD AS DESCRIBED IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION
IN OTHER WORDS, THERE IS AN INFINITE REVELATION OF THE WORD OF GOD CALLED RHEMA AND LOGOS OF THE SCRIPTURES.

ALL BELIEVERS MUST HAVE BOTH AND NOT ONLY ONE OF THEM

In the New Testament, there are two different Greek words used to identify words from God: lógos and rhḗma.

LOGOS IS THE WRITTEN WORD

Logos is used in John 1:1 (NKJV). “In the beginning was the [logos] Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God” (John 1:1 NKJV).

Rhema—A Spoken Word
The Greek word rhḗma simply means “any spoken word.”

Rhema is a spoken word. “And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the [spoken] word of God” (Eph. 6:17 NKJV).

When Jesus was tempted by Satan in the wilderness, He countered each temptation by speaking a “rhema” word. In Matthew 4:4, He said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every [spoken (rhema)] word.’ “Jesus spoke the written Word He needed for the situation.

So a rhema word IS the spoken Word of God. IT IS THE WORD OF GOD WRITTEN IN THE HEARTS OF MEN AND NOT ONLY INFORMATION IN THEIR MINDS

We need the written Word as our foundation, but we also need the spoken Word (rhema) for direction. We have the written Word, to stand on. We have rhema, the spoken Word, so we can walk and know what to do and where to go.

When the Holy Spirit speaks to US, He quickens a Scripture verse or specific direction to you—a specific word for a specific time and purpose – IT IS SPOKEN WORD BEING CAPTURED IN OUR SPIRIT TO WALK IN

IN OTHER WORDS, THERE IS INFINITE RHEMA FOR EVERY LOGOS OF THE SCRIPTURES.

SO SPEAKING OF LOGOS AND RHEMA

WE CAN READ THE BOOK OF REVELATION 22 CHAPTERS IN 2-3 DAYS GETTING INFORMATION AND KNOWLEDGE INTI OUR MIND TRYING TO UNDERSTAND AND MAKE SENSE OF WHAT WE ARE READING

OR WE CAN READ THE BOOK OF REVELATION IN ONE YEAR ALLOWING A PROCESS OF NOT ONLY OF INFORMATION INTO OUR MINDS, BUT OF REVELATION TO OUR HEART SPIRIT THROUGH THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN US – THE WRITTEN INFORMATIONAL WORD LOGOS BECOMES A RHEMA THE SPOKEN WORD IN OUR HEARTS AND SPIRIT – WE START TO LIVE OUR LIVES AS A LIFESTYLE BASED ON THE WHOLE WORD OF GOD AND NOT ONLY PIECES OF IT

OR WE CAN ALSO READ THE BOOK OF REVELATION ALL OUR LIVES DISCOVERING ALWAYS THE NEW DEPHTS OF THE WORD , TRANSITIONING FROM REVELATION INTO IMPARTATION AND GREATER TRANSFORMATION OF OUR HEART SPIRIT MIND AND SOUL. OUR WHOLE BEING SPIRIT SOUL AND BODY BECOME IN TOTAL AGREEMENT AS ONE WITH THE LOGOS AND RHEMA SPOKEN WORD OF GOD – THE PERMANENT WORD OF JESUS IS IMPRINTED IN OUR HEART AND SPIRIT

JESUS SAYS :If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.” John 15:7

GOD SAYS TO US

““But this is the new covenant I will make with the people of Israel after those days,” says the Lord. “I will put my instructions deep within them, and I will write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. And they will not need to teach their neighbors, nor will they need to teach their relatives, saying, ‘You should know the Lord.’ For everyone, from the least to the greatest, will know me already,” says the Lord. “And I will forgive their wickedness, and I will never again remember their sins.””
‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭31:33-34‬ ‭NLT‬‬

THE ACTION OF REMAINING AND TO SEAL THE WORD OF JESUS IN US CAN ONLY HAPPEN WHEN THERE IS TOTAL BELIEF, ACCEPTANCE AND AGREEMENT WITH HIS WORD. THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHEN OUR SPIRIT CAPTURES THE TRUTH BY FAITH WITH ACTION – IT IS NOT ONLY INFORMATION INTO OUR MINDS, BUT THROUGH RHEMA OF THE REVELATION, IMPARTATION AND TRANSFORMATION OF HIS WORD WRITTEN IN OUR HEARTS – SPIRIT SOUL AND BODY.

THE WORD OF GOD IS ENDLESS SINCE HIS WORD IS ETERNAL – THE WORD SPEAKS AND CONTINUES TO SPEAK THROUGH ETERNITY – THIS PRESENT HEAVEN AND EARTH WILL PASS AWAY ONE DAY BUT NOT HIS WORD OF TRUTH WHICH CONTINUES TO SPEAKING THROUGH ETERNITY

BY NOT BELIEVING OR RECEIVING IN FAITH THE BOOK OF REVELATION, THIS DOES NOT CHANGE THE TRUTH OF GODS WORD . IT WLL NOT CHANGE THE FACT THAT APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS AGO JESUS WAS SENT BY THE FATHER TO THIS WORLD AS THE LAMB OF GOD AND DEFEATED DEATH AND SIN AT THE CROSS. ALL AUTHORITY WAS GIVEN TO HIM In HEAVEN AND EARTH. NOW AP JOHN REPORTS FAITHFULLY THE REVELATION OF JESUS ACCORDING TO HEAVENS PERSPECTIVE. AND NOT ACCORDING TO EARTHY PERSPECTIVE

AGAIN ABOVE ALL, THE THEME IS ABOUT THE MAJESTY AND GLORIOUS KINGDOM OF THIS MAN SON OF GOD AND SON OF MEN JESUS CHRIST WHO HAS EYES OF FIRE TOTALLY ZELOUS FOR HIS OWN THE ONES THE FATHER HAS GIVEN HIM AS HIS HERITAGE – BRIDE

HE IS NOT ONLY THE LAMB OF GOD, BUT ALSO THE LION OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH SEATED ON THE THRONE HEIR OF DAVID GIVEN BY THE FATHER

PROMISE DONE IN THE OLD TESTAMENT WITH DAVID ARE FULFILLED IN THE NEW TESTAMENT WITH JESUS

ACCORDING TO JOHN PIPER founder and teacher of desiringGod.org and chancellor of Bethlehem College & Seminary.

“Jeremiah stresses that the coming king will fulfill the condition of righteousness (in Jeremiah 23:5–6): “Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will raise up for David a righteous Branch, and he shall reign as king and deal wisely and shall execute justice and righteousness in the land. In his days Judah will be saved and Israel will dwell securely. And this is the name by which he will be called: ‘The Lord is our righteousness'” (see 33:21, 25–26).”

“When the angel Gabriel appeared to Mary in Luke 1:31–33, he said, “Behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son and you shall call his name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob for ever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.” Therefore, beyond any shadow of a doubt the Bible teaches that the promise to David that his descendant would rule forever is fulfilled in Jesus Christ. As the Son of David (Romans 1:3) and the Lord of David (Matthew 22:45; Psalm 110:1) Jesus now reigns as king in heaven (1 Corinthians 15:25) over the true house of Israel.”

WITH THAT SAID

THERE ARE DIFFERENT VIEWS – INTERPRETATIONS – APPROACHES OF UNDERSTANDING OF THE BOOK OF REVELATION

1 – Historicist a broad view of history;
2 – Preterist mostly referring to the events of the apostolic era (1st century), or, at the latest, the fall of the Roman Empire;
3 – Futurists describes future events;
4 – Idealist or symbolic does not refer to actual people or events, but is an allegory of the spiritual path and the ongoing struggle between good and evil.

AS FOR THE PRETERITS
THEY BELIEVE THAT THE THE BOOK WAS WRITTEN IN THE FIRST CENTURY AND FULFILLED DURING THE ROMAN EMPIRE BEFORE THE DESTRUCTION OF JERUSALEM 70 AD

BUT IT CONFLICTS WITH THE HISTORICAL APPROACH THAT THE BOOK WAS WRITTEN DATED AFTER THE FALL OF JERUSALEM.

THERE IS ALSO AN UNDERSTANDING THAT THE WORD BABYLON USED IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION WAS IN REFERENCE TO THE ROMAN EMPIRE.

IN ORDER FOR THE BOOK OF REVELATION TO TRAVEL AMONG ALL CHURCHES OF THAT TIME, THE WORD BABYLON WAS USED INSTED OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE TO AVOID BEING STOPPED OR DESTROYED. EITHER WAY THE CORRUPTED SYSTEM AND THE EVIL SPIRIT ARE THE SAME IN BOTH EMPIRES EXPRESSED ON THE STATUE HEAD OF GOLD OR THE FEET OF CLAY AND BRONŽE DREAM OF NABUKODNESOR

IF THERE IS NO RHEMA OF THE WORD OF GOD, NOT EVEN THE BEST APPROACH WILL BRING CHANGE TO THE HEART OF MEN.
IF THERE IS NO RHEMA OF THE WORD OF GOD NOT EVEN THE BEST APPROACH WILL AFFECT TO THE HEART

IF THERE IS NO GUIDANCE AND REVELATION OF THE WORD BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD , THE ONLY LEVEL PEOPLE MAY REACH IS THE INFORMATION LEVEL OF WHAT IT IS BEING READ – IT MAY GET CONFUSING AND MISS UNDERSTOOD EVEN MORE WITH THE LACK OF PROPER FULL CONTEXT GOING BACK TO THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENT

WITHOUT THE PRESENCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT RENEWING THE MIND AND HEART OF MEN THERE IS NO REVELATION, IMPARTATION TRANSFORMATION OF OUR MIND HEART AND SOUL

THE PRESENCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IS LINKED TO THE CONDITION OF THE HUMAN HEART – IS THE HEART YIELDING AND SINCERELY SEEKING THE TRUTH ?

IF THE CONDITION OF THE HEART IS NOT BASED ON SURRENDER AND THIRST FOR MORE OF GOD – CONSEQUENTLY THERE IS NO RENEWING, REVELATION, IMPARTATION TRANSFORMATION OF OUR MIND HEART AND SOUL

TO GET THIS STRAIGHT, GOD AND THE KNOWLEDGE OF HIM ARE PROPORTIONAL AND LIMITED TO THE LEVEL OF OUR SURRENDER AND HUNGER FOR HIM – IT TAKES GOD TO KNOW GOD

GODS MOST DESIRE IS TO REVEAL HIMSELF AND HIS WORD AS MUCH AS OUR HUNGER GOES – HE DOES NOT VIOLATE OR FORCE OUR FREE WILL TO RECEIVE MORE OR LESS OF HIM – HE RESPECTS OUR FREE WILL AND CHOICES IN LIFE

THE SAME IS FOR HIS WORD

GOD DOES NOT MAKE EXCEPTION OF PEOPLE – HE HONORS THOSE WHO HONOR HIM AND HIS WORD

THOSE WHO RECEIVE GREATER REVELATION AND IMPARTATION ARE THOSE WHO HUNGER AND YIELD FOR MORE OF HIM AND HIS WORD

GREATER THE HUNGER GREATER THE REVELATION TRANSFORMATION

MORE YOU DIG DEEP IN THE WELL OF LIVING WATER MORE YOU GET THE REVELATION OF SUCH LIVING WATER PULLED OUT FROM THE WELL – JESUS IS NOT AN EMPTY WELL OF REVELATION AND POWER – HE IS THE ETERNAL SPRING OF LIVING WATER THAT FLOWS FOREVER

“So humble yourselves before God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come close to God, and God will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world.” James‬ ‭4:7-8‬ ‭NLT‬‬

THERE IS NO WAY TO COME CLOSE TO GOD AND HIS WORD WITHOUT A HUMBLE HEART IN TRUE REPENTANCE

THERE IS NO WAY TO COME CLOSE TO GOD AND HIS WORD WITHOUT A RESISTING THE DEVIL AND HIS TEMPTATIONS

THERE IS NO WAY TO COME CLOSE TO GOD AND HIS WORD WITHOUT BELIEVING AND MAKING A DECISION, DESIRE AND WILL TO COME TO HIM AND AGREEING WITH HIM

IF WE DENY HIS INVITATION TO KNOW HIM INTIMATELY, HIS PRESENCE AND HIS WORD, HE WILL ALSO DENY US BEFORE THE FATHER

LET US GET STARTED

VERSION NLT
———————————————————-
CHAPTER 1

“This is a revelation from Jesus Christ,

THE REVELATION IS ABOUT JESUS AS THE CENTER OF ALL – THERE IS NOTHING MORE VITAL AND IMPORTANT TO THE HUMAN HEART THEN THE REVELATION OF JESUS

EVENTS OF LIFE WILL COME BUT ABOVE ALL THINGS FIRST IS THE REVELATION OF JESUS

WHAT IS THE REVELATION OF JESUS?
WHY IS THE REVELATION OF JESUS SO IMPORTANT?
WHERE WERE THE CHURCHES AT THE TIME THAT THEY RECEIVED JOHN’S LETTER? WHAT WAS THEIR STATUS? SEVERE PERSECUTION AND DECEIT

DID BELIEVERS NEED A NEW FRESH REVELATION AND PURPOSE IN LIFE?
HUMAN HEART NEEDS A CONSTANT RENEW OF THE WORD OF GOD TO KEEP RUNNING THE RACE OF LIFE OF FATH

THE FIGHT AGAINST DOUBT DECEIT AND FEAR IS SOMETHING WE FACE ALL THE DAYS OF OUR LIVES – AND ONLY THE CONSTANT RENEW OF A FRESH REVELATION OF JESUS – HIS WORD – ARMOR OF GOD TO KEEP US SAFE AND GOING FORWARD IN KNOWING AND HAVING INTIMACY WITH HIM

THERE IS NO POWER OR VICTORY OR BELIEFS IN CIRCUMSTANCES OF LIFE WITHOUT THE REVELATION OF WHAT IT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT TO OUR EXISTENCE – JESUS CHRIST PERSONALLY AND INTIMATELY

WHAT IS REVELATION JESUS
HE IS THE SON OF GOD AND SON OF MAN
HE IS THE ONE WHO WAS WHO IS AND AND IT IS TO COME
HE IS THE ONLY ONE WORTHY TO RECEIVE ALL GLORY POWER WORSHIP AND PRAISE
HE IS THE SAME YESTERDAY TODAY AND FOREVER
HE IS WONDERFUL COUNCILOR, PRINCE OF PEACE, ALMIGHTY GOD, ROCK OF AGES ETERNAL FATHER
HE IS THE KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS
HE IS THE HIGH PRIEST FROM THE ORDER OF MILQUISEDEQUE
HE IS ONE WITH HIS FATHER
HE IS THE WORD OF GOD WHO GIVES ETERNAL LIFE
HE IS THE ONE WHO EMPTY HIMSELF FROM THE GLORY OF GOD TO BECOME A MAN AND LEARN OBEDIENCE BY HIS SUFFERING
HE IS THE ONE WHO KNOWS HOW TO EMPATHIZE FOR HE ALSO SUFFERED GREATLY
HE IS THE ONE SENT BY GOD AS THE LAMB OF GOD A LIVING SACRIFICE WHO WAS SLAIN BUT BY HIS BLOOD RANSOMED PEOPLE FOR GOD
HE IS THE ONE WHO REMOVES SIN OF THE WORLD
HE IS THE ONE WHO DOES THE WILL OF HIS FATHER ABOVE ALL – HE SEES AND DOES WHAT HE SEES WHAT HIS FATHER IS DOING
HE IS THE ONE WHO BAPTIZE HIS CHILDREN WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT AND FIRE
HE IS THE ONE WHO REJOICED EVEN PAYING THE PRICE OF DEATH ON A CROSS FOR THE SAKE OF HIS PEOPLE
HE IS THE FIRST RESURRECTED FROM THE DEAD AMONG HIS BRETHREN BY THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT FOR THE SALVATION OF ALL WHO BELIEVES AND RECEIVES HIM
HE IS GENTLE AND HUMBLE (HE SPOKE OF HIMSELF)
HE IS THE CORNERSTONE – ROCK OF SALVATION
HE IS THE WAY THE TRUTH AND LIFE TO THE FATHER
HE IS THE DOOR THE LIVING BREAD AND LIVING SPRING OF ETERNAL WATER WHO QUENCHES EVERY THIRST
HE IS THE BRIDEGROOM WHO HAS REDEEMED HIS BRIDE AND WITH WHOM HE IS IN DEEP IN LOVE WITH HER
HE IS THE ONE WHO HAS EYES OF FIRE AND WALKS AMONG HIS PEOPLE
HE IS THE ONE ON WHITE HORSE WHO CONQUERS AND BRINGS JUDGMENT IN THE EARTH
HE IS THE LIGHT THAT SHINES IN AND OVER THE NEW JERUSALEM – NO OTHER LIGHT OR SUN IS NEEDED
THERE IS NO END TO THIS LIST

SO THERE IS NO END TO THE REVELATION OF JESUS. SO THE SAME TIME THERE IS NO LIMIT TO THE IMPACT OF HIS REVELATION OF HIM IN US AND THROUGH US

GREATER INTIMACY WITH JESUS GREATER IS THE REVELATION OF HIM
AND GREATER THE REVELATION OF HIM GREATER IS THE INTIMACY WITH HIM
“which God gave him to show his servants the events that must soon take place. ”

GOD REVEALED THE EVENTS TO HIS SERVANTS
REVELATION OF JESUS IS GIVEN BY WHOM?

THE FATHER GOD WHO GIVES BECAUSE HE IS LOVE AND LOVES TO GIVE TO HIS CHILDREN THE REVELATION OF HIMSELF AS ONE WITH THE SON
LOVE AGAPE – FREE WITHOUT CONDITION – FAITHFUL

TO WHOM?
NOT TO ANYONE, BUT TO HIS SERVANTS WHO SEEK HIM WITH ALL THEIR HEARTS

SERVANT – BEST TRANSLATION – SLAVE – BONDSERVANT

Greek word doulos, which means “one who is subservient to, and entirely at the disposal of, his master; a slave.” Other translations use the word slave or servant.

Romans 1:1 Paul, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated to the gospel of God which He promised before through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures

BONDSERVANT – WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A BONDSERVANT ? SOMEONE WHO WAS A SLAVE FIRST BUT WHO IS WILLING TO BE CONNECTED – ALIGNED WITH THE WILL OF THE MASTER. HE KNOWNS AND HE IS KNOWN BY HIS MASTER AND SERVES AT HIS HOUSE – NOT OUTSIDE
HE SERVES FOR HE IS PERFECTLY CONTENT WITH THE WILL OF HIS MASTER – I Tim 6:6, 8 – HOW CAN SOMEONE BE A BONDSERVANT IF HE IS NOT COMPLETE DELIGHTED SATISFIED WITH THE WILL OF THE MASTER?
THIS IS BONDSERVANT -TOTAL SOLD OUT AND SATISFIED WITH THE WILL OF THE MASTER ABOVE HIS OWN LIFE AND DESIRES
CONTRARY TO COMPLETE CONTENTMENT IS COVETOUSNESS WHICH IS IDOLATRY
“He sent an angel to present this revelation to his servant John, who faithfully
reported everything he saw. ”

GOD SENDS AN ANGEL TO BRING REVELATION TO HIS FAITHFUL LOVED ONES LIKE JOHN
GOD USES HIS ANGELS AND WE ENCOUNTER THEM AS THEY COME BY OBEDIENCE AND PURPOSE

AM I FAITHFUL TO RECEIVE AND REPORT THE REVELATION OF JESUS?
NOT THAT I AM PERFECT, BUT FAITHFUL TO BE ABLE TO LISTEN, SEE AND BE A CHANNEL TO REPORT TO ALL WHAT IT IS IN GODS HEART
GOD SENDS AN ANGEL WHO KNOWS IS GABRIEL – REVELATOR CAME TO JOHN

“This is his report of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ. ”

JOHN’S REPORT IS ABOUT 2 THINGS:
1 JESUS IS THE WORD OF GOD – SINCE THE BEGINNING GODS WORD SPOKEN THROUGH THE SON – THE WORD OF GOD NOT OF MAN – GOD SPOKE IN THE PAST. THROUGH HIS SERVANTS THE PROPHETS – BUT TODAY HE SPEAKS THROUGH HIS SON – HEB 1:2 (REVELATION IS ABOUT JESUS AND GOD SPEAKS THROUGH HIM)
2 THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS BASED ON OBEDIENCE AND THE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE FATHER – JESUS IS THE EXAMPLE OF BEING ONE WITH THE FATHER – HE IS THE HIGH PRIEST WHO CONSTANTLY WORSHIPPED THE FATHER IN EARTH BY HIS OBEDIENCE AND RELATIONSHIP AND NOW IN HEAVEN WITH THE FATHER – THEY ARE AND WILL ALWAYS BE ONE

WHAT IS TESTIMONY “is a form of evidence that is obtained from a witness who makes a solemn statement or declaration of fact. Testimony may be oral or written, and it is usually made by oath or affirmation under penalty of perjury.”

JESUS TESTIMONY IS MARKED BY HIS OWN BLOOD – HIS TESTIMONY IS CONFIRMED BY THE FATHER HIMSELF WHO BACKS HIS TESTIMONY UP AS BEING TRUE FOR ALL ETERNITY

JOHN REPORTED ALL THAT HE SAW WITH HIS SPIRITUAL EYES NOT ONLY WITH WHAT HE HEARD

ONE THING IS TO REPORT WHAT YOU HEAR ANOTHER IS WHAT YOU SEE IT
AS IT WAS WITH JOB EXPERIENCE? – TO HEAR IS NOT ENOUTH
ONE THING IS TO KNOW SOMEONS OR SOMETHING BY HEARING
ANOTHER IS BY SEEING
“I had only heard about you before, but now I have seen you with my own eyes.”
‭‭Job‬ ‭42:5‬ ‭NLT‬‬

“God blesses the one who reads the words of this prophecy to the church, and he blesses all who listen to its message and obey what it says, for the time is near. ”

WHO BLESSES HERE? GOD – THE CREATOR OF ALL THINGS
WHAT IS GODS BLESSING?
AND WHO IS BLESSED HERE BY GOD?

2 GROUPS HERE WITH PROPER CONDITIONS OF GODS BLESSING

DOING WHAT? WHAT IS THE ACTION OF FAITH ?

1 – THOSE WHO READ (TEACH – MAKE DISCIPLES) THE WORD OF THIS PROPHECY TO THE PEOPLE OF GOD (TO BELIEVERS)

– THESE ARE THE ONES WHO EAT THE BREAD AND BECOME BREAD FOR OTHER BELIEVERS

WHO ARE THE ONES WHO GOD BLESSES THEM ALL?

2 – THOSE WHO LISTEN AND OBEY WHAT HE SAYS

START WITH READING – ENDS IN LISTENING AND OBEYING

IRIT
RECEIVE INFORMATION BY READING
WITH HUNGER INFORMATION CAN BECOME REVELATION – LIGHT GOES ON IN YOUR SPIRIT SOULD AND BODY
BELIEVING AND RECEIVING REVELATIONS/LIGHT GOES TO IMPARTATION AND TRANSFORMATION

MESSENGER IS BLESSED BY READING – EATING THE WORD – MAKING DISCIPLES
PEOPLE – RECEIVER IS BLESSED BY LISTENING AND OBEYING
NOW LISTENING IS NOT ENOUGH WITHOUT OBEYING –
NOT OBEYING IS AS LOOKING AT THE MIRROR AND LEAVING WITHOUT REMEMBERING OR KNOWING WHAT WAS YOUR APPEARANCE BEFORE

“This letter is from John to the seven churches in the province of Asia. ”

TO WHOM ARE THE LETTERS (BOOK) INTENDED TO?

TO 7 CHURCHES IN ASIA :- CHURCHES JOHN MIGHT KNOW
WHY TO THESE 7 CHURCHES?

EPHESUS (west cost of turkey)
SMYRNA
PERGAMUM
THYATIRA
SARDIS
PHILADELPHIA
LAODICEA

AGAIN –
BEFORE WRITING THE LETTERS – WHERE DOES THE MESSAGE COME FROM?
WHO IS GIVING JOHN THE MESSAGE?
IS JOHN WRITING FROM HIS OWN REASONING?

JOHN IS WRITING WHAT HE HEARD AND SAW IN SPIRIT

AS JESUS DID
JESUS DID WHAT HE HEARD AND SAW FROM THE FATHER DOING
WE ACT IN FAITH WHATEVER ASSIGNMENT GOD GIVES US BY FIRST READING AND LISTENING (GIVE HIM 100% ATTENTION SO THAT HE CAN KISS US WITH HIS WORD) AS WELL AS TO SEE WHAT HE PUTS IN OUR SPIRIT – REVELATIONS CONVICTIONS FROM HEAVEN

JOHN WRITES

“Grace and peace to you ”

WHAT IS THE SOURCE OF SUCH GRACE AND PEACE?

THERE IS GRACE AND PEACE FROM 3 PEOPLE – THEY ARE ONE

SPEAKING OF THE TRINITY AS ONE
1 – from the one who is, who always was, and who is still to come;
2 – from the sevenfold Spirit before his throne;
3 – and from Jesus Christ. ”

OUT OF THE THREE JOHN NOW GOES TO THE REVELATION OF JESUS

WHO IS JESUS? THE REVELATION IS ABOUT HIM
“He is the faithful witness to these things”, – HIS TESTIMONY IS TRUE FOREVER – HE IS FAITHFUL
WHAT THINGS? THE FACTS AND EVENTS JOHN HEARD AND LISTENED

AND ALSO TO

“the first to rise from the dead”, – FIRST ONE IN HUMAN HISTORY AS HUMAN TO BE RAISED FROM DEATH BY THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT – NO POWER OF DEATH COULD HOLD HIM DOWN
“and the ruler of all the kings of the world”. – HIS KINGDOM IS ETERNAL AND HE HAS ALL THE AUTHORITY AND POWER OVER ALL AUTHORITY AND POWER OF THE WORLD AFTER THE CROSS

“All glory to him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by shedding his blood for us. All glory and power to him forever and ever! Amen. ”

WHY DOES JESUS DESERVE ALL THE GLORY?
WHAT HAS JESUS DONE FOR US? TWO BASIC THINGS
THE FOUNDATION IS LOVE – HE LOVES US
FREED US FROM OUR SINS

THERE IS NO DELIVERANCE WITHOUT LOVE FIRST

HOW DID HE FREE US?
BY THE POWER OF HIS LOVE
BY THE SHEDDING (COVER) HIS BLOOD FOR US – HIS BLOOD POURED OUT FREELY GIVEN TO US WHICH BREAKS ALL BONDAGES AND SLAVERY OF SIN – WE ARE HIS SLAVES OF LOVE FOREVER NOW – BONDSERVANTS STARTS HERE

SPEAKING OF THE BLOOD – LIFE AND THE NAME OF JESUS
BY HIS BLOOD HE MADE HIMSELF SIN SO THAT WE WOULD BE HOLY
BY HIS BLOOD HE MADE HIMSELF LOST WITHOUT GOD SO THAT WE COULD BE FOUND BY THE FATHER
BY HIS BLOOD HE MADE HIMSELF REJECTED SO THAT WE COULD BE ACCEPTED BY THE FATHER AS HIS CHILDREN AND CITIZENS OF HEAVEN
BY HIS BLOOD HE MADE HIMSELF POOR, BLIND, NAKED SO THAT WE COULD BE RICH, SEE AND BE CLOTHED WITH WHITE GARMENTS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS IN HIS LOVE
BY HIS BLOOD HE MADE HIMSELF SEPARATED FROM THE FATHER SO THAT WE COULD BE ONE WITH THE ETERNAL FATHER – NOT AN ORPHAN ANY MORE
BY HIS BLOOD HE SACRIFICED HIMSELF FOR US FOR ONLY PURE BLOOD CAN REDEEM MAN FROM SIN
BY HIS BLOOD HE WAS CRUCIFIED, DIED AND WAS BURIED SO THAT WE COULD BE CRUCIFIED WITH HIM, DIE AND BE BURIED FROM OUR SINFUL NATURE BY THE CONFESSION OF SIN AND THE BAPTISM OF WATER
BY HIS BLOOD HE WAS QUICKEN, MADE ALIVE AND RESURRECTED BY THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT SO THAT WE COULD ALSO BE QUICKEN, MADE ALIVE AND RESURRECTED IN OUR SPIRIT BY THE SAME HOLY SPIRIT
BY HIS BLOOD HE GAVE US ETERNAL LIFE AWAY FROM ETERNAL DEATH WITHOUT GOD
BY HIS BLOOD HE HE GAVE US THE HOLY SPIRIT TO DWELL IN US AND TEACH US ALL THINGS
BY HIS BLOOD THE VEIL WAS TORNED DOWN WHERE ONLY THE HIGH PRIEST COULD APPROACH THE ARK OF THE COVENANT – PRESENCE OF GOD IN THE HOLY OF HOLIES
BY HIS BLOOD HE GIVE US ALL ACCESS TO THE THRONE OF GRACE AND MERCY OF THE FATHER
BY HIS BLOOD HE GAVE HIS ALL EVEN THE MOST PRECIOUS THING HE VALUED THE MOST IN LIFE – THE ONE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE FATHER SO THAT WE COULD BE ONE IN RELATIONSHIP WITH THE FATHER AS WELL

NOW AS HE LOVES AND FREED US , WHAT HAS HE MADE US TO BE?
WHAT IS HIS PURPOSE FOR US IN ETERNITY AFTER SETTING US FREE FROM OUR SINS?

WE ARE FREE FROM SIN BY HIS LOVE, WHAT HAPPENS NOW?
WHAT IS THE CONSEQUENCE OF THOSE WHO BELIEVE, ACCEPT AND TRUST IN HIM?

“He has made us a Kingdom of priests for God his Father. ”
AS PART OF HIS KINGDOM, WHAT ARE WE CALLED TO DO?
WHAT DOES A KINGDOM OF PRIESTS FOR GOD HIS FATHER MEAN?
TO WHOM?
ALL IS DONE ACCORDING TO THE WILL AND GLORY OF THE FATHER

REV 5:5 “….And you have caused them to become a Kingdom of priests for our God. And they will reign on the earth.”

WHAT IS A KINGDOM OF PRIESTS?
WHICH PRIESTS?
WHY PRIESTS?

IS GOD REFERRING KINGDOM OF ARAN LEVITICUS PRIESTSHOOD?
IN THE OLD TESTAMENT WE LEARN ABOUT THE LEVITICUS PRIESTHOOD STARTED WITH ARAN

BUT WE ALSO LEARN THAT THERE WAS ANOTHER PRIESTHOOD THAT ABRAHAM FATHER OF FAITH WHO MET THIS HIGH PRIEST AFTER CONQUERING IN BATTLE TO RESCUE HIS NEPHEW AND FAMILY

SO WHICH PRIESTHOOD OR PRIEST ORDER IS JOHN REFERRING HERE?

REMEMBER THAT THE REVELATION IS ABOUT JESUS AND HE IS ACCORDING TO A HIGHER PRIESTHOOD THAT COMES A FROM A DIFFERENT ORDER OF PRIESTHOODS. PSAL 110 AND HEB 5 IS THE HIGH PRIEST OF A SPECIAL ORDER!!!
WHICH ORDER?

MILQUEZEDED ORDER
WHAT DOES THIS ORDER MEAN?
IS IT IDENTICAL TO ARAN’s LEVITICAL PRIESTHOOD?
WHAT IS SPECIAL AND DIFFERENT ABOUT THIS PRIESTHOOD?

THE LEVITICAL PRIESTHOOD IN MOSES TIME HAD VERY SPECIFIC CALLING AND DUTIES – IT WAS FROM THE OLD COVENANT AS A REPRESENTATION AND A SHADOM IMAGE OF HEAVILY PRIESTHOOD
MINISTER TO GOD IN THE TABERNACULE, CARRY THE ARK AND BLESS THE PEOPLE

WHAT DID THE AUTHOR IN HEB SAY ABOUT THIS MILQUESEDEK PRIESTHOOD?
WHO IS THE HIGH PRIEST FROM THE ORDER OF MILQUESEDQUE PRIESTHOOD. IT IS JESUS THE HIGH PRIEST
HEB
UNDER JESUS THERE IS NEW COVENANT NOT MADE BY HUMAN HANDS
HE ALONE FULFILLED ALL THE LAWS AND REQUIREMENTS OF THE OLD COVENANT – AS THE LAMB OF GOD HE WAS SLAIN BUT RESURRECTED FOR THE SALVATION OF MANY
HE IS THE LAMB OF GOD BUT AFTER HIS RESURRECTION HE IS ALSO THE LION OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH

THIS MEANS THAT HE IS FROM A SUPERIOR PRIESTHOOD – ORDER OF MILQUESEDEQUE

HE IS WORSHIPPER IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUE
HE WORSHIPS AND MINISTERS TO THE FATHER AND CARRIES HIS GLORY AND BLESSES NATIONS PEOPLE OF ALL RACES AND LANGUAGES

BUT HE IS ALSO A WARRIOR WHO BRINGS JUDGEMENT ACCORDING TO THE LAWS AND PROCEDURES OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD

HE GOES OUT IN WHITE HORSE TO CONQUER THE KINGDOMS OF THIS WORLD IN BATTLE WHAT IT IS HIS BY JUSTICE AND RIGHT – JESUS IS A WARRIOR ON A WHITE HORSE FOLLOWED BY HIS PRIESTS WHO ARE ALSO RIDING ON WHITE HORSES
THEY ARE NOT ONLY WORSHIPPERS OF GOD IN SPIRIT AND TRUTH BUT THEY ARE WARRIORS AS WELL
REV 19
THE MILQUESEDEK PRIESTHOOD FIRST OF ALL WORSHIPS THE TRUE GOD
PRIESTS BECAUSE THESE ARE THE ONES GOD MADE THEM TO BE:
FAITHFUL ONE WITH HIM AS JESUS IS.
THE ONES WHO SERVE AND OBEY 100% ACCORDING TO HIS WILL AND DO WHAT THE FATHER DESIRES.
THE ONES WHO KNOW THE HEART AND THOUGHTS OF GOD
THE MEDIATORS TO BLESS OTHERS IN HIS NAME

SO WHO ARE THE PRIEST GOD IS RAISING UP FOR HIS KINGDOM

“Then I will raise up a faithful priest who will serve me and do what I desire. I will establish his family, and they will be priests to my anointed kings forever.”
‭‭1 Samuel‬ ‭2:35‬ ‭NLT‬‬

WHAT DO PRIESTS DO? CHARACTERISTICS?
WHAT DOES DEUTERONOMY 10:8 SAY ?

“At that time the Lord set apart the tribe of Levi to carry the Ark of the Lord’s Covenant, and to stand before the Lord as his ministers, and to pronounce blessings in his name. These are their duties to this day. That is why the Levites have no share of property or possession of land among the other Israelite tribes. The Lord himself is their special possession, as the Lord your God told them.)”
‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭10:8-9‬ ‭NLT‬‬

CARRIERS OF HIS PRESENCE
STANDS AND MINISTERS TO HIM
CHANNEL OF BLESSINGS TO OTHERS PRONOUNCING BLESSINGS IN HIS NAME

GODS PRIEST CHARACTERISTICS

1 – PRIEST WHO KNOWS THE HEART AND MIND OF GOD. HEART OF GOD REVEALS GOD’S MOTIVATION WHAT HE DOES. THE MIND \ THOUGHTS OF GOD REVEALS THE METHODS OF GOD.
2 – GOD BUILDS THE HOME OF HIS FAITHFUL PRIEST. THIS SPEAKS OF GOD’S FAITHFULNESS TO THOSE WHO PLACE HIS KINGDOM FIRST – PRIORITY IS TO LOVE AND ENJOY GODLY PRIEST LIFESTYLE – GOD PROVIDES AND ESTABLISH THE HOMES.
3 – THE FAITHFUL PRIEST WILL WALK ‘BEFORE GOD AS THE LORD’S ANOINTED FOREVER – ALWAYS WITH FRESH OIL – FRESH ANOINTING
4 – THE FAITHFUL PRIEST WILL EXPERIENCE ‘SPEAKING FACE TO FACE – MOUTH THE MOUTH IN COMMUNION WITH GOD. THIS IS A DEEP COMMUNION OF PRIESTS WHO WILL KNOW JESUS LIKE HIS KING, THE HIGH PRIEST AND HIS FRIEND
5 – THE FAITHFUL PRIEST WILL SET THE WATCHERS AND OPEN THE GATES. THEY WILL STAND AS “WATCHERS” AND HOLD THE KEYS TO DETERMINE WHO AND WHAT HAS ACCESS TO GOD’S FAMILY
6 – THE FAITHFUL PRIEST WILL DISTRIBUTE TO THE BRETHREN FROM THE LORD’S TREASURY. THEY WILL HAVE ACCESS TO THE RICHES OF THE KINGDOM IN BOTH DIVINE REVELATION AND KINGDOM RESOURCES. THEY WILL DISTRIBUTE THOSE RESOURCES ACCORDING TO THE WILL OF GOD.
7 – THIS RESTORED PRIESTHOOD WILL TEACH THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE PRECIOUS AND VILE. THERE IS MUCH NEED TODAY.

ONLY JESUS AND NO IDOLATRY OF STUBBORNNESS (RESISTING TRUTH) OR COVETOUSNESS (NOT CONTENT IN LIFE)

4 SIMPLE AND BASIC DISCIPLINES TO DEVELOP PRIESTHOOD

HOW TO DEVELOP COMMUNION WITH JESUS THAT IS ALWAYS THE DOOR CALLING US TO DEEP RELATIONSHIP

· 1 – OFFER SACRIFICE OF PRAISE AND WORSHIP TO JESUS DAILY – PRIVATE – SEPARE TIME TO BE IN HIS PRESENCE – GIVE JESUS 100% ATTENTION FOR HIS KISSES – POSTURE OF PRIEST – DO NOT WAIT FOR SUNDAY – WE HAVE TO BE FULL OF HIM ALWAYS – THE HEAVEN HAS PRAISE AND WORSHIP 24/7 – PLACE ANOINTED MUSIC TO BUILD YOUR FAITH AND BE ALWAYS FULL AWARE OF PROPHETIC CDS MESSAGES THAT DECLARE TRUTHS ABOUT YOUR LIFE
SACRIFICES TO GOD DID NOT STOP – IT IS REQUIRED IN THE NEW AND OLD TESTAMENT – THE OLD THERE WERE ANIMALS – NIE IN THE NEW TESTAMENT UNDER THE NEW COVENANT AND PRIESTHOOD ORDER OF MILQUESEDEQUE QUEST WHO IS THE SACRIFICE – WE ASE THE LIVING SACRIFICE – WE OFFER OUR LIVES WITH PRAISE YADAH – HANDS OPEN LIFTED UP AND TEHILA – SPONTANEOUS FREE FRESH NEW PRAISE AND THANKSGIVING AND WORSHIP OBEDIENCE – NO IDOLATRY (COVETOUSNESS – NO CONTENTMENT- PERFECT SATISFACTION TO GODS WILL AND NO STUBBORNNESS AGAINST GODS WILL)

2 – PRAY AND SEEK GOD DAILY – TAKE A TIME TO SPEAK WITH THE FATHER.

3 – READ AND STUDY YOUR BIBLE AND MEDITATE IN HIM – BIBLE – ‘WORD OF GOD AND’ THE SWORD OF SPIRIT – DO NOT GET INFORMATION ONLY, RECEIVE REVELATION, IMPARTATION AND PRACTICE THE TRUTH BEING READ – SEEK THE WORD THAT PROCEEDS (FLUID) OF GOD

MAT 4: 4 – “THE MAN SHALL NOT LIVE FROM FOOD ALONE BUT FROM ANY WORD THAT PROCEEDS FROM THE MOUTH OF GOD” – BE RENEWED IN THE NEW OF GOD TODAY – GOD HAS A NEW AND ANOITED WORD FOR TODAY –
EVERY MORNING THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL GATHERED THE MANNA WHO HAD THE HUMID DUW OF HEAVEN – MANNA REPRESENTS THE WORD AND THE DUW (EX 16:13) AND THE PRESENCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT – YOU CAN BE IN A DRY PLACE OR DARK PLACE BUT YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE A DRY PERSON OR LIVE IN THE DARK
WHAT ARE THE WORDS OF YOUR MOUTH BEING SPOKEN? THEIR WORDS ARE IN TUNE AND CONCORDANCE WITH THE WORDS OF GOD

4 – BE A GENEROUS GIVER – TIES AND OFFERINGS – BE FAITHFUL – RESISTING THE EVIL OF THE LOVE OF MONEY AND DEPENDENCE BE FINANCIAL, PHYSICAL OR EMOTIONAL – WHO IS THE PROVIDER? JESUS ALONE

“Look! He comes with the clouds of heaven. And everyone will see him— even those who pierced him. ”

NO ONE WILL ESCAPE FROM SEEING JESUS IN HIS SECOND COMING
MOST IN ISRAEL MISSED HIS FIRST COMING, BUT NOT THE SECOND COMING

“And all the nations of the world will mourn for him. Yes! Amen! “

ALL NATIONS WILL COME TO HIM WITH DEEP RECRET FROM NOT KNOWING AND SURRENDERING TO HIM

JESUS DECLARES ABOUT HIMSELF SAYING

I am the Alpha and the Omega—the beginning and the end,” says the Lord God. “I am the one who is, who always was, and who is still to come—the Almighty One.”

THERE IS NO BEGINNING OR END WITHOUT JESUS

JOHN SPEAKS OF HIMSELF AND WHERE HE WAS WHEN HE RECEIVED THIS VISION

I, John, am your brother and your partner in suffering and in God’s Kingdom and in the patient endurance to which Jesus calls us.

JOHN IS OUR BROTHER AND PARTNER IN 3 EXPERIENCES OF LIFE
1 – IN THE SUFFERING – LOVE AND SURRENDER TO GODS WILL
2 – IN GODS KINDOM – AUTHORITY AND CITIZENSHIP
3 – IN THE PATIENT ENDURANCE – FAITH AND HOPE OF HIS GLORY – APPROVED

WHO CALLED US INTO ALL THIS?
JESUS WHO KNOWS ALL THAT IS BEST FOR US

I was exiled to the island of Patmos for preaching the word of God and for my testimony about Jesus.

WHAT WAS JOHN DOING ON THIS ISLAND ?
EXILED – BUT NOT WITHOUT A PURPOSE – NOT RETIRED – NOT GIVEN UP IN DESPAIR IN LIFE BUT WITH 2 BASIC PURPOSE
OF PREACHING THE WORD OF GOD AND
GIVE HIS TESTIMONY ABOUT JESUS

REALIZE OR NOT ALL BELIEVERS IN CHRIST HAVE THE MOST SPECIAL AND VALUED PURPOSE IN LIFE OF ALL – WHO CAN SAY HE OR SHE DOES NOT KNOW THE PURPOSE GOD HAS FOR THEIR LIVES?

THE ULTIMATE PURPOSE IN LIFE IS TO WORSHIP GOD AND SERVE HIM ANNOUNCING THE GOOD KNEWS – PREACH THE WORD OF GOD AND LET ALL KNOW ABOUT YOUR TESTIMONY

HOW TO PREACH WITHOUT KNOWING THE WORD?
HOW TO BE A WITNESS OF JESUS WITHOUT KNOWING HIM THROUGH HIS KISSES IN WORSHIP?
WITHOUT THESE THEN THERE IS REALLY NO PURPOSE

JOHN WAS NOT THERE TO RETIRE, SLOW DOWN AND WAIT TO DIE COMPLAINING ABOUT HIS SUFFERINGS AND AFFLICTION IN LIFE, BUT TO PREACH THE WORD OF GOD THAT IS POWERFUL AND ALIVE AS WELL AS TO TESTIFY OF JESUS WHO DIED BUT ROSE AGAIN BY THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIF IN HIS AMAZING LOVE FOR US

“It was the Lord’s Day, and I was worshiping in the Spirit. ”

JOHN KNEW HIS ASSIGNMENT IN THAT ISLAND WHICH IT WAS TO PREACH THE KINGDOM AND BE A TESTIMONY – BUT HOW COULD HE ACCOMPLISH SUCH ASSIGNMENT?

SPENDING TIME IN GOD’s PRESENCE IN WORSHIP IN THE SPIRIT
HOW?
NOTHING CAN STOP MY WORSHIP IN THE SPIRIT EXCEPT ME

MAYBE JOHN WAS IN CHAINS AND PAIN AT OLD AGE IN THAT ISLAND
BUT THAT DID NOT STOP HIM FROM WORSHIPPING JESUS IN THE SPIRIT

WHAT WAS JOHN DOING BEFORE HEARING A VOICE BEHIND HIM?
WHAT HE HAS BEEN DOING FOR MANY YEARS?
IT WAS THE DAY OF REST AND HE WAS WORSHIPING JESUS IN THE SPIRIT – MAYBE SPEAKING IN TONGUE THE WHOLE DAY WORSHIPPING JESUS

DO I WANT TO KNOW JESUS AND HIS WORD?

SPEND TIME WITH HIM IN PRAYER, FASTING, GIVING AND WORSHIPPING IN SPIRIT

SINCE HE WAS WORSHIPPING JESUS (NOT ANY OTHER ACTIVITY)

“Suddenly, I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet blast. ”

SUDDENLY – UNEXPECTEDLY – SO QUICK – TIME IN HISTORY
WHY BEHIND HIM?

JESUS DESIRES US TO TURN TO HIM TO THE VOICE THAT SPEAKS IN OUR HEARTS

It said, “Write in a book everything you see, and send it to the seven churches in the cities of Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea.”

A VERY DIRECT SPECIFIC BOOK – NOT A LETTER BUT LETTERS EACH ONE FOR THE 7 CHURCHES

When I turned to see who was speaking to me, I saw seven gold lampstands.

THERE IS NO ENCOUNTER OR SOUND TO BE HEARD WITH WHAT JESUS DESIRES TO REVEAL TO US WITHOUT POSITIONING OUR HEARTS TO WORSHIP AND TO BE IN HIS PRESENCE LIKE JOHN WAS – IT IS ONLY THEN THAT WE CAN HEAR AND TURN TO THE DIRECTION OF WHERE THE SOUND IS COMING AND BE ABLE TO SEE THE VISION

TURN MY HEART TOWARDS YOUR GLORY JESUS
REPENTANCE AND YIELDING IN HUMBLE HEART IS KEY TO BE ABLE TO TURN AND SEE HIS GLORY

FIRST COMES BY HEARING THE SOUND OF HEAVEN – HOW CAN I HEAR? WHAT IS THE CONDITION OF MY HEART TO LISTEN?

BY DOING WHAT JOHN WAS DOING –
1 – REPENTANCE AND SURRENDER WITH HUMBLE HEART WORSHIPPING JESUS IN THE SPIRIT
2 – TURN THE HEART TOWARDS THAT SOUND OF HEAVEN – HUMBLY SEEK WHAT IT IS FROM ABOVE TO HAVE EYES OPENED TO SEE AND CAPTURE THAT VISION OF HIS GLORY

THE SOUND PRECEDES THE VISION – NOT THE OPPOSITE

FIRST WE ARE GUIDED BY THE SOUND OF HEAVEN TO FULFIL OUR DESTINY OF SEEING AND REVEALING HIM TO THE WORLD

“And standing in the middle of the lampstands was someone like the Son of Man. ”

JESUS IS THE CENTER OF ALL

WHAT DID JOHN SEE? WHAT WAS JESUS WEARING?

“He was wearing a long robe with a gold sash across his chest. ”

GARMENT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS – WORD AND ACTION
GOLD PURE SASH – OFFICIAL GARMENT – COMING FROM HIS SHOULDERS GUARDING OVER OUR HEARTS IN PURITY AND MOTIVE
DOMINION AND AUTHORITY COMING ACROSS HIS HEART – FAITHFUL COMMITTED TO HIS WORD

THIS IS WHAT IT IS CLOTHED IN JESUS

“His head and his hair were white like wool, as white as snow. ”
THE HEAD AND HAIR IS WHITE – MATURED – SIGNS OF SUFFERING AND APPROVED

“And his eyes were like flames of fire. ”

HIS EYES SHOWS HIS NATURE – CONSUMING FIRE FULL OF LOVE AND ZEAL
NO DARKNESS IS FOUND IN HIM – HE SEES IT ALL – NOTHING HIDDEN

“His feet were like polished bronze refined in a furnace, ”

HIS WALK AND TESTIMONY OF HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH THE FATHER ON EARTH WAS TESTED, POLISHED – REFINED BY HIS OBEDIENCE TO HIM

“and his voice thundered like mighty ocean waves. ”

HIS VOICE IS POWER – JUST A WHISPER DESTROYS THE OPPOSITION

WHAT DID JESUS HOLD IN HIS RIGHT HAND?

“He held seven stars in his right hand, ”
7 SEVEN CHURCHES ARE IN HIS RIGHT HAND TO DEFEND AND BRING JUSTICE

“and a sharp two-edged sword came from his mouth. ”

HIS MOUTH – WORD GOES DEEP IN THE MATTER – CAPABLE OF SEPARATING EVIL FROM GOOD

“And his face was like the sun in all its brilliance. ”

HIS COUNTENANCE IS LIGHT AND RESILIENT

WHAT WAS JOHN’S REACTION WHEN HE SAW JESUS?

When I saw him, I fell at his feet as if I were dead.

WHAT DOES JESUS DO WHEN WE SURRENDER AT HIS FEET? DOES HE TAKE NOTICE?

But he laid his right hand on me and said, “Don’t be afraid! I am the First and the Last. I am the living one. I died, but look—I am alive forever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and the grave. “

1 – JESUS LAIDS HIS RIGHT HAND OF APPROVAL, ACCEPTANCE AND STRENGTH – I AM HERE TOUCHING YOU – YOU ARE NOT ALONE
2 – JESUS SEES ALL EVEN FEAR AND SPEAKS AGAINST FEAR BY DECLARING TRUTH ABOUT HIMSELF AS HE DID HERE ON JOHNS LIFE SETTING HIM FREE OF ANY FEAR – THE TRUTH OF JESUS REVELATION REMOVES EVERY FEAR
3 – WHY NOT TO FEAR? BECAUSE FEAR AND DEATH ARE DESTROYED – JESUS IS THE FIRST AND THE LAST – HE IS NOT ONLY WHO LIVES ETERNALLY , BUT POINTS OUT THE TRUTH THAT IS VERY IMPORTANT AGAINST DEATH AND FEAR – (POWER OF FEAR AND DEATH HAVE NO AFFECT)
HE NOW ALONE HAS THE KEY OF DEATH AND HELL IN HIS HANDS AND ALL THE FEAR THAT COMES WITH IT EVEN FEAR OF MEN – ALL UNDER HIS CONTROL
SINCE HE IS IN CONTROL HE HAS NOT GIVEN US A SPIRIT OF FEAR, BUT OF POWER, BOLDNESS AND SELF CONTROL

POWER TO HAVE STRENGTH AND AUTHORITY TO DO THE WILL OF THE FATHER
BOLDNESS TO ASK AND EXECUTE THE WILL OF THE FATHER WITH NO FEAR OF MAN
SELF CONTROL – SOUND MIND -TO BE YIELDING UNDER THE CONTROL OF THE HOLY SPIRIT TO DO THE WILL OF THE FATHER

JESUS GIVES THE COMMAND TO JOHN
Write down what you have seen—both the things that are now happening and the things that will happen. This is the meaning of the mystery of the seven stars you saw in my right hand and the seven gold lampstands:
The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭1:1-20‬ ‭NLT‬‬

—————————-
CHAPTER 2
————————————————————-
LETTER TO EPHESUS
————————————————————-

Write this letter to the angel of the church in Ephesus.

TO WHOM IS THE LETTER? WHY IS THIS THE FIRST LETTER TO THIS GROUP?

TO THE ANGEL
MESSENGER OF THIS CHURCH – IN CHARGE OF DELIVERING THE MESSAGE
PASTOR – BISHOP

This is the message from the one who holds the seven stars in his right hand, the one who walks among the seven gold lampstands:

WHAT DOES JESUS HOLD – HAVE CONTROL OVER?
OVER THE ANGELS/LEADERS IN CHARGED OF THE CHURCHES
HE WALKS AMONG HIS PEOPLE – EDIFYING HIS BODY

“I know all the things you do. I have seen your hard work and your patient endurance.

IN EPHESUS – THIS GROUP OF BELIEVERS:

JESUS IS NOT BLIND, BUT HE KNOWS ALL THINGS – HE WALKS AMONG THEM – HE IS AWARE OF THEIR PATIENCE THAT THEY HAVE ENDURED

WHAT DO THIS BELIEVERS DO NOT SUPPORT OR AGREE WITH SUCH PRACTICE?

“I know you don’t tolerate evil people. ”

THERE IS NO SPACE OR OCCURRENCES OF EVIL PRACTICES FROM EVIL PEOPLE AMONG THEM

“You have examined the claims of those who say they are apostles but are not. ”

THESE BELIEVERS HAVE THE SPIRIT OF DISCERNMENT AND HAVE INSPECTED THE ASSERTION OF SOME SAYING BEING AN APOSTLE, BUT ARE NOT – LIERS

“You have discovered they are liars. ”

WHAT HAVE THEY FOUND AND BEEN AWARE ABOUT ?
THEY FOUND PEOPLE LYING CLAIMING FALSE STATEMENTS – THEY DO NOT TOLERATE LIES

“You have patiently suffered for me without quitting. “

WHAT HAS JESUS NOTICED?
THESE BELIEVERS DO NOT GIVE UP – THEY DO NOT DESIST IN THEIR WALK OF FAITH WITH JESUS- HOW?
THEY HAVE BEEN SUFFERING WITHOUT BEING ANNOYING, AGITED, ANXIOUS BUT TRUSTING PATIENTLY IN THE LORD

“But I have this complaint against you.”
WHAT COULD JESUS COMPLAIN ABOUT?

THIS GROUP:
THEY DID NOT STOP THE FAITH EVEN IN PERSECUTION
THEY CONTINUE HAVING HOPE
THEY CONTINUE DISCERNING THE TRUTH REJECTING LIES
ARE’NT ALL THESE GOOD ACTIONS ENOUGH TO PREVENT JESUS FROM COMPLAINING?

WHAT IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN FAITH AND HOPE?
ARE FAITH AND HOPE FOR THE CHILD OF GOD ENOUGH THAT JESUS WILL NOT COMPLAIN?

ARE’NT ALL THESE GOOD ACTIONS ENOUGH FOR JESUS TO KNOW HIS FOLLOWERS ?

IS KNOWING SOMEONE MORE IMPORTANT THAN ACTING IN FAITH AND HOPE?
BOTH ARE EQUALY IMPORTANT, BUT KNOWING SOMEONE ROOTED IN LOVE TAKES PRECEDENT SINCE LOVE IS GREATER THAN FAITH AND HOPE
IS IT POSSIBLE TO HAVE FAITH AND HOPE AND STILL LOOSE LOVE?
IS IT POSSIBLE TO KNOW SOMEONE WELL JUST ON FAITH AND HOPE BASIS?

IT IS NOT ANY LOVE BUT THE FIRST LOVE – SO IS THERE A LAST OR ANOTHER LOVE?

WHY DID JESUS ASK PETER 2 TIMES FOR AGAPE LOVE AND 1 FOR PHILEO LOVE?
WHICH LOVE DOES IT TAKE CARE FOR GODS CHILDREN?

SPEAKING OF LOVE – THERE ARE AT LEAST 3 TYPES OF LOVE IN GREEK.

AGAPE – UNCONDITIONAL LOVE
PHILEO – BROTHERLY FRIENDSHIP LOVE
EROS – SEXUAL LOVE

“There is also an interesting contrast when you look at the Greek words for “love” used in John 21:15–17. When Jesus asked Peter, “Do you love me?” in John 21:15–16, He used the Greek word agape, which refers to unconditional love. Both times, Peter responded with “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you,” using the Greek word phileo, which refers more to a brotherly/friendship type of love. It seems that Jesus is trying to get Peter to understand that he must love Jesus unconditionally in order to be the leader God is calling him to be. The third time Jesus asks, “Do you love me?” in John 21:17, He uses the word phileo, and Peter again responds with “Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you,” again using phileo. The point in the different Greek words for “love” seems to be that Jesus was stretching Peter to move him from phileo love to agape love.”

THEY LOST THEIR FIRST LOVE TO JESUS AND OTHERS
BESIDES ALL THESE BLESSINGS JESUS HAS ALSO FOUND SOMETHING HE DID NOT APPROVE OF.

WHAT IS THAR JESUS DOES NOT ACCEPT AND HE IS AGAINST THIS GROUP OF BELIEVERS?
WHAT IS THIS GROUP DOING AND LIVING THAT DOES NOT PLEASE JESUS?

. You don’t love me or each other as you did at first!

WHERE IS THE AGAPE LOVE? THAT TRULY LOVES GOD AND OTHERS?

WHAT DID THESE BELIEVERS STOP DOING THAT IT WAS TRUE AND NECESSARY?

WHAT DOES THE FIRST LOVE MEAN?
– WHEN THIS GROUP FIRST CAME TO JESUS IN REPENTANCE WITHOUT ANY RELIGIOUS SPIRIT OR JUDGEMENT OF OTHERS, BUT LIKE A CHILD SURRENDERING ALL TO HIM – LOVED MUCH BECAUSE THEY RECOGNIZED HOW MUCH THEY WERE FORGIVEN.
WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE FIRST LOVE TO JESUS AND OTHERS?
WHAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THE FIRST LOVE TO DIMINSH?

WHAT CAUSED THEIR HEARTS TO GROW COLD STOPPING SEEKING HIS PRESENCE AND ENJOYING HIS GOODNESS AND FORGIVINESS?
COULD IT BE TOO MUCH ACTIVITY EVEN IN THE CHURCH BUSINESS AS WELL AS TOO MANY CONCERNS OF THIS LIFE EVEN THE BLESSINGS FROM GOD HAVE TAKEN THEIR EYES FROM WHAT IT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT SEEK WHAT IT IS FROM ABOVE KIND, PURE AND LOVELY?
WHAT COULD HAVE ROBBED THE FIRE OF THE FIRST LOVE?

WHAT IS THE KRYPTONITE OF THIS WORLD THAT HAS DIMINISHED THE LOVE OF GOD IN THE HEART OF THIS GROUP?

DID THE GROUP LOOSE SIGHT OF HOW MUCH THEY WERE FORGIVEN AND LOVED BY GOD?

ISSUE OF THE HEART – ALL GOES BACK TO THE HEART
THEY MAY HAVE STARTED ENJOYING SO MUCH THE BLESSINGS OF GOD AND FORGOT TO GIVE ATTENTION TO THE BLESSER – DID THEY GIVE IN TO RELIGIOUS SPIRIT AND CARES OF THIS WORLD ? WHY? WHERE IS THE ORDER OF PRIORITIES?

SINCE THE FIRST LOVE WAS LOST , WHAT SHOULD THEY DO TO RESTORE THE FIRST LOVE – AND RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS?

TWO THINGS JESUS COMMANDED THAT ARE NECESSARY TO HAPPEN:
TWO THINGS JESUS ORDERED FOR THIS GROUP TO DO THAT ARE VITAL:

1 – “Look how far you have fallen! ”

WHAT IS THIS WORD OF ACTION?
EXAMINE THE CONDITION OF THE HEART – TAKE MEASUREMENT OF HOW FAR THEY HAVE MISSED AND FALLEN FROM THE LOVE OF GOD
THERE IS NO MENTION OF THEIR FAITH OR HOPE THAT HAS FALLEN, BUT OF THEIR FIRST LOVE THAT WAS LOST – NO MORE ATTENTION TO JESUS KISSES
THE GROUP STOPPED RECEIVING JESUS KISSES
TAKE TIME (HEART SEARCH) TO MAKE A REFLECTION AND SEE HOW DISTANT HAVE THIS GROUP FALLEN – RECOGNIZE AND ACKNOWLEDGE THE BIG DIFFERENCE OF THE LOVE, RELATIONSHIP THAT IT WAS LOST FROM THE BEGINNING – REMEMBER WHEN I WAS SAVED – THE PURE JOY OF SALVATION AND EXPERIENCING HIS GREAT LOVE IN DIFFERENT SEASONS OF LIFE SPECIALLY THE FIRST ONES BEFORE STOPPING RECEIVING HIS KISSES IN THE MORNING – BRING TO MEMORY THOSE MOMENTS AT THE WALL SEEKING AND SINGING TO JESUS – GIVING HIM ATTENTION

2 – “Turn back to me and do the works you did at first. ”

HAVE TRUE REPENTANCE – TURN BACK – RETURN TO JESUS
HUMBLE AND YIELD TO THE SPIRIT OF GOD – REJECT PRIDE AND SELFNESS
SHOW SIGNS OF REPENTANCE – DO THE WORKS YOU DID AT THE BEGINNING – LOVE HAS ACTION AND VOICE

WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THIS GROUP IF THEY DO NOT TURN BACK AND REPENT?

“If you don’t repent,
I will come and remove your lampstand from its place among the churches. ”

JESUS WILL REMOVE HIS LIGHT, THE ANOINTING FOR THE LAMP, REVELATION OF HIMSELF , FAVOR AND PRESENCE OUT OF SUCH GROUP

BUT THERE IS SOMETHING IN THIS GROUP FAVOR
“But this is in your favor: You hate the evil deeds of the Nicolaitans, just as I do. ”

THIS GROUP HATES WHAT JESUS HATES – THE NICOLAITANS
HOW ARE THE NICOLAITANS?

RELIGIOUS SPIRIT TEACHING – according to history these are those religious people who teach and eat things sacrificed to idols,’ and ‘who commit sexual immorality.’ – fornication connected with religious rites”. MAN CAN HAVE MANY WIFVES

GROUP THAT TEACHES DIFFERENCES OF HUMAN CLASSES – SUPERIOR AND INFERIOR PEOPLE

“Anyone with ears to hear must listen to the Spirit and understand what he is saying to the churches.

WHAT MUST EVERYONE DO? WHO HAS EARS? WHAT IS JESUS SAYING?
BESIDES ALL PERSEVERANCE, GOOD DOCTRINE OF SOME, SPIRITUAL DISCIPLINE ALL GROUPS AMONG MOST FALL SHORT OF A VICTORIOUS SPIRIT AND JESUS EXORTS TO REPENT OF THE SHORT COMINGS

THOSE SPIRITUAL BABIES WHO HAVE DEVELOPED EARS – HAVE OPEN HEART AND MIND TO STOP, GIVE JESUS FULL ATTENTION AND LISTEN

TO STOP AND SPEND TIME IN INTIMATE WITH HIM TO RECEIVE HIS KISSES AND LISTEN TO WHAT HIS PROCEEDING WORD IS SAYING
RECOGNIZE, UNDERSTAND AND OBEY OUT LOVE AND NOT OUT OF OBLIGATION – FULL ATTENTION AND TIME TO BE IN HIS PRESENCE AS PRIESTS TO RECEIVE HIS KISSES – IT NEEDS TO COME FROM A HEART – EMOTION THAT CRIES OUT TO THE FATHER – AS THE SON ONLY DOES WHAT THE FATHER SHOWS HIM TO DO EVEN TO KISS NEEDS THE FATHERS APPROVAL – WHICH GOD HAS ALREADY ALLOWED AND APPROVED WHEN HE SENT HIS SON OUT OF LOVE FOR HE IS LOVE FOR THE SON TO KISS ALL FOD THOSE WHO CRY OUT FOR HIS KISSES OF INTIMACY – HIS THE PROCEEDING WORD OF GOD TO SOUL OF MAN

THE CRY OF THE HEART OF THE BRIDE WHO ASKS TO THE FATHER FOR JESUS KISSES
“Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth! [she cries. Then, realizing that Solomon has arrived and has heard her speech, she turns to him and adds] For your love is better than wine!”
‭‭Song of Solomon‬ ‭1:2‬ ‭

JESUS HEARD THE CRY OF THE HEART OF THE BRIDE AND HE APPROACHES HER WITH THE FATHER’s PERMISSION. FOR THE CRY COMES FROM A HEART (INWARD – NOT OUTWARD RELIGIOUS SPIRIT) THAT RECOGNIZES THAT JESUS LOVING KISSES ARE BETTER THAN ANYTHING IN THIS WORLD EVEN GODS GOODNESS, AND BLESSINGS TO THE SOUL OF MAN

WHAT IS THE REWARD? WHAT IS THE CRITERIA?
“To everyone who is victorious ”

ONLY THE VICTORIOUS – THERE IS NO EXCEPTION OF PEOPLE – ANYONE CAN BE VICTORIOUS.

BUT OF WHAT AND HOW?

AGAINST 2 ENEMIES :
SATAN AND HIS FALLEN ANGELS – ENEMIES OF OUR SOUL
TO OUR OWN FLESH – EGO – THE FLESH HAS BEEN CRUCIFIED, DEAD AND BURIED IN CHRIST

HOW?

1 – BY THE POWER OF THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB – IT IS ALL ABOUT HIM – HE FIRST EVEN LIFE
WHAT DOES THE BLOOD DO?
IT GIVES US REDEMPTION FROM SIN – REMOVES SEPARATION – GIVES US ACCESS TO THE THRONE OF GRACE TO BE ONE WITH THE TRINITY AND TO BE ALL THAT GOD MADE US TO BE
2 – BY CONFESSION OF THE THE TESTIMONY – EVIDENCE OF PROVE OF WHAT?
EVIDENCE OF LIVING AND SPEAKING AS JESUS DID IN THE EARTH BY THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT – LIFE TESTED AND APPROVED
3 – NOT TO LOVE LIFE AS MUCH AS TO BE READY TO DIE FOR JESUS

VICTORY IS ALL ABOUT THE BLOOD OUT OF HIS GREAT LOVE
STARTS WITH PURE BLOOD THAT WAS FREELY POURED OUT IN LOVE AT THE CROSS THEN BELIEVERS WHO BELIEVE AND RECEIVE THE BLOOD LIVE WASHED AND WALK BY THE POWER OF PURE BLOOD EVEN UNTIL THE END WHEN IT IS FREELY POURED OUT OF ITS OWN BLOOD – TO DIE NOT LOVING ITS OWN LIFE – THERE IS NO FEAR OF DEATH WHEN BELIEVING AND RECEIVING THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB

“And they have defeated him by the blood of the Lamb and by their testimony. And they did not love their lives so much that they were afraid to die.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭12:11‬ ‭NLT‬‬

WHAT IS THE REWARD?

“I will give fruit from the tree of life in the paradise of God. “

ETERNAL LIFE BY RECEIVING AND EATING THE FRUIT OF LIFE

THIS IS THE FRUIT FROM THE TREE ADAM AND EDEN WERE NOT ALLOWED TO EAT AFTER THEY SIN SO THAT THEY WOULD NOT LIVE ETERNALLY SEPARATED FROM GOD

JESUS HIMSELF WILL GIVE US THE FRUIT OF ETERNAL LIFE – HIMSELF IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD

——————-
THE SECOND LETTER IS TO SMYRNA
————————————————————-

Write this letter to the angel of the church in Smyrna.

WHAT IS ABOUT THIS GROUP OF BELIEVERS

This is the message from the one who is the First and the Last, who was dead but is now alive: “

WHO IS SPEAKING HERE? WHERE IS THE MESSAGE COMING FROM?
FROM THE ONE WHO IS THE WORD OF GOD – JESUS – WHO CREATED ALL FIRST AND LAST
FROM THE ONE WHO DIED AS A SON OF MAN AND AS A SON OF GOD
FROM THE ONE WHO IS THE FIRST ONE TO BE RESURRECTED FROM THE DEAD RECEIVING A GLORIFIED BODY
FROM THE ONE WHO IS STILL AND WILL ETERNALLY BE ALIVE FOR GODS GLORY

I know about your suffering and your poverty—but you are rich!

WHAT DOES JESUS KNOW ABOUT THIS GROUP?
JESUS IS AWARE THAT THIS GROUP HAS SUFFERED AND ARE POOR?
WHY?
GREAT PERSECUTION DUE TO THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST.
BECAUSE OF THE GOSPEL THEY SUFFERED AND LOST POSSESSIONS

BUT JESUS DECLARES BEYOND ALL THESE THINGS THE TRUTH THAT THEY ARE RICH!
HOW? WHAT ARE THE TRUE RICHES JESUS IS SPEAKING ABOUT?
THE TRUE RICHES ARE THOSE THINGS THAT ARE FROM ABOVE ETERNAL AND NOT TEMPORARY.
THE LAND, RESOURCES AND RICHES OF THIS WORLD WILL ALL PASS AWAY
THE NEW JERUSALEM IS RICH AND ETERNAL AND THESE BELIEVERS ARE CITIZEN OF THAT WONDERFUL PLACE

I know the blasphemy of those opposing you.

JESUS IS AWARE OF PEOPLE OPPOSING AND SPEAKING NEGATIVELY IN BLASPHEMY

They say they are Jews, but they are not, because their synagogue belongs to Satan.

PEOPLE WHO BELONG TO SATAN LYING – DECEIT SPIRIT

Don’t be afraid of what you are about to suffer.

WHAT IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN? WHY?
BECAUSE OF JESUS WE ARE PERSECUTED – WE ARE ONE WITH HIM AND AS HE WAS PERSECUTED SO ARE WE
WHAT IS JESUS ALERTING THEM ABOUT?
AGAINST THE SPIRIT OF FEAR IN FACE OF SUFFRING
PEOPLE THAT BELONG TO SATAN USE THE OLD TACTICS OF WITCHCRAFT BASED ON FEAR, INTIMIDATION, BULLING AND LIES

The devil will throw some of you into prison to test you.

WHAT WILL THE DEVIL DO?
DEVIL WILL TEST YOU SEEKING TO KILL YOUR FAITH, HOPE AND LOVE OF GOD

“You will suffer for ten days. ”

HOW MANY DAYS WILL THIS GROUP SUFFER?
FOR 10 DAYS – WHY? WHAT DOES 10 MEAN?
PERIOD OF COMPLETE ORDER – EXPERIENCE TESTING APPROVAL

“In the Bible, the number 10 is used 242 times. The designation “10th” is used 79 times. Ten is also viewed as a complete and perfect number, as is 3, 7 and 12. It is made up of 4, the number of the physical creation, and 6, the number of man. As such, it signifies testimony, law, responsibility and the completeness of order.”

“God gave the 10 Commandments to man. Ten therefore represents man’s responsibility to keep the commandments. A tithe is a 10th of our earnings and is a testimony of our faith in the Lord.

The Passover lamb was selected on the 10th day of the 1st month (Exodus 12:3), as was Jesus, the Lamb that takes away the sins of the world (John 12:28 – 29; 1Corinthians 5:7). The 10th day of the 7th month is the Holy Day known as the Day of Atonement. This unique day of fasting pictures the removal of Satan, the author of sin, before the Millennial reign of Jesus begins (Revelation 20:1 – 2). The last great world-ruling kingdom of man under Satan is symbolized prophetically by the 10 toes of Daniel 2 and the 10 horns of Revelation 13 and 17.”

“But if you remain faithful even when facing death, I will give you the crown of life. ”

AFTER PERIOD OF COMPLETE ORDER AND TESTING
WHAT MUST THIS GROUP DO? EVEN IN FACE OF DEATH?
REMAIN FAITHFUL – NO FEAR – FACE OF RESILIENCE LIKE JESUS BEFORE BEING CRUCIFIED – DETERMINED TO GIVE THEIR OWN LIFE TO JESUS AS HE GAVE HIS OWN

WHAT IS THE REWARD JESUS WILL GIVE FOR THOSE WHO REMAIN FAITHFUL?
WHAT IS THE CROWN OF LIFE?WHERE IS IT PLACED?
CROWN OF LIFE – ETERNAL ROYAL POSITION WITH JESUS

THE CROWN IS PLACE ON THE HEAD
CROWN IS MADE OF GOLD AND PRECIOUS STONES

THE HEAD IS OUR MIND – THOUGHTS – CONVICTIONS
WE ARE CHANGED BY THE RENEWAL OF OUR MIND
AND THAT CHANGE OF MIND (REPENTANCE) IS KEPT FOR ALL THE ETERNATY

JESUS RECEIVED A CROWN OF THORNS SO THAT WE COULD RECEIVE A CROWN OF LIFE
CROWN SPEAKS OF POWER AND AUTHORITY – RIGHTS TO BE WHAT GOD PRE DESTINED US TO BE IN HIS PRESENCE

“Anyone with ears to hear must listen to the Spirit and understand what he is saying to the churches.

WHAT MUST EVERYONE DO? WHO HAS EARS? WHAT IS JESUS SAYING?
BESIDES ALL PERSEVERANCE, GOOD DOCTRINE OF SOME, SPIRITUAL DISCIPLINE ALL GROUPS – MOST FALL SHORT OF A VICTORIOUS SPIRIT
JESUS EXORTS TO REPENT OF THE SHORT COMINGS

THOSE SPIRITUAL BABIES WHO HAVE DEVELOPED EARS – BUT DO THEY HAVE AN OPEN HEART AND MIND TO STOP, GIVE JESUS FULL ATTENTION AND LISTEN

TO STOP AND SPEND TIME IN INTIMATE WITH HIM TO RECEIVE HIS KISSES AND LISTEN TO WHAT HIS PROCEEDING WORD IS SAYING
RECOGNIZE, UNDERSTAND AND OBEY OUT OF LOVE AND NOT OUT OF OBLIGATION – FULL ATTENTION AND TIME TO BE IN HIS PRESENCE AS PRIESTS TO RECEIVE HIS KISSES – IT NEEDS TO COME FROM A HEART – EMOTION THAT CRIES OUT TO THE FATHER – FOR THE SON ONLY DOES WHAT THE FATHER SHOWS AND TELLS HIM TO DO , EVEN THE KISSES NEEDS THE FATHERS APPROVAL – WHICH GOD HAS ALREADY ALLOWED AND APPROVED WHEN HE SENT HIS SON OUT OF LOVE
FOR GOD IS LOVE AS HE SENT HIS SON TO KISS ALL THOSE WHO CRY OUT FOR HIS KISSES OF INTIMACY – HIS THE PROCEEDING WORD OF GOD TO SOUL OF MAN

THE CRY OF THE HEART OF THE BRIDE WHO ASKS THE FATHER FOR THE SON JESUS KISSES
“Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth! [she cries. Then, realizing that Solomon has arrived and has heard her speech, she turns to him and adds] For your love is better than wine!”
‭‭Song of Solomon‬ ‭1:2‬ ‭

WHAT IS THE REWARD? WHAT IS THE CRITERIA?
” Whoever is victorious ”

ONLY THE VICTORIOUS – THERE IS NO EXCEPTION OF PEOPLE – ANYONE CAN BE VICTORIOUS. ONE CONDITION ABOVE – THE VICTORS ARE THOSE WHO ARE IN LOVE SICK TO THE BRIDEGROOM – HE IS ALL FOR THEM

BUT OF WHAT AND HOW?

AGAINST 2 ENEMIES :
SATAN AND HIS FALLEN ANGELS – ENEMIES OF OUR SOUL
TO OUR OWN FLESH – EGO

HOW?

1 – BY THE POWER OF THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB – BECAUSE OF HIM ALONE AND NOTHING ELSE – HIS SACRIFICE ON THE CROSS OF FULL LOVE
WHAT DOES HIS BLOOD DO?
IT GIVES US REDEMPTION FROM SIN – REMOVES SEPARATION – GIVES US ACCESS TO THE THRONE OF GRACE TO BE ONE WITH THE TRINITY AND TO BE ALL THAT GOD HAS MADE US TO BE
3 – BY THE TESTIMONY – EVIDENCE OF PROVE OF WHAT?
EVIDENCE OF LIVING AND SPEAKING AS JESUS DID IN THE EARTH BY THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT – LIFE TESTED AND APPROVED
4 – DID NOT LOVE LIFE AS MUCH AS TO BE READY TO DIE FOR JESUS – LOVE HIM ABOVE ALL – HE HAS FULL ATTENTION OF THE HEART EVEN ABOVE LIFE

“will not be harmed by the second death. ”

WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE VICTORIOUS ONES?
NO HARM – NO AFFLICTION BY THE SECOND DEATH – COMPLETE ETERNY WITHOUT GOD

THE THIRD LETTER IS TO PERGAMUM
————————————————————-

IN PERGAMUM – WHAT IS SPECIAL ABOUT THIS GROUP OF BELIEVERS?

“Write this letter to the angel of the church in Pergamum.

This is the message from the one with the sharp two-edged sword: “

FROM WHO IS THIS MESSAGE FOR THIS GROUP?

JESUS WHO HAS THE POWER OF THE WORD TO PENETRATE AND DISCERN ALL THINGS – TWO EDGED SWORD – WORD OF TRUTH AND GRACE THAT ACCOMPLISHES WHAT IT WAS DESIGNED TO DO

I know that you live in the city where Satan has his throne, yet you have remained loyal to me.

JESUS KNOWS ALL THINGS AND HE ACKNOWLEDGES THIS GROUP LIVES IN A BAD CITY – CITY WHERE SATAN HAS HIS THRONE.

WHY DOES SATAN HAVE HIS THRONE ON THIS CITY

You refused to deny me even when Antipas, my faithful witness, was martyred among you there in Satan’s city. “

CBN DOCUMENTARY ABOUT PERGAMUM
http://www1.cbn.com/700club/seat-satan-ancient-pergamum

“Today, all that’s left of the city of Pergamum, now in modern-day Turkey, are ruins. But when the Apostle John wrote his letter to the church there, it was one of the most influential cities in the Roman Empire.

“Pergamum had a unique status that was different than any other city because it was the political center, says Rick Renner, the author of A Light in the Darkness, a study of the seven churches of Asia Minor. “It was from there that all the rulings were made that affected the whole of Asia Minor.”
The people of Pergamum were inventors and innovators. They perfected a parchment made out of calfskin and built the world’s first psychiatric hospital.
Pergamum was also a well-known center for the arts. The city’s theater seated ten thousand people a night. The acoustics were so good that a whisper on stage could be heard all the way in the top row.
The city’s acropolis rivaled Athens, and its library was the second largest in the ancient world. Its collection was so great that the Roman general Marc Antony presented it as a wedding gift to Cleopatra.
At the end of the first century, Pergamum was a thriving city. So why does the book of Revelation call it the dwelling place of Satan? The answer lies in the ruins of the city’s temples.
“On one side, it was a very beautiful city,” says Renner. “But on the flip side, it was one of the darkest, eeriest cities in the whole Roman Empire.”
The people of Pergamum were known as the “Temple-keepers of Asia.” The city had three temples dedicated to the worship of the Roman emperor, another for the goddess Athena, and the Great Altar of Zeus, the king of the Greek gods. Many scholars believe this altar is the “Throne of Satan” mentioned in the book of Revelation.
“That word ‘throne’ was used in a personal private residence, and it was a chair for the lord of the house, the master of the house,” says Renner. “The very fact that Jesus would use this word means that Satan felt at home there. He sat on a throne there. It was his territory. He was the master of that house.”
The city also had a healing center called the Asklepion, built in honor of Asklepios, the Greek serpent-god. In the first century, this was a cross between a hospital and a health spa, where patients could get everything from a mud bath to a major surgery. Even the emperors came all the way from Rome to be treated here, but this was no ordinary doctor’s visit.
“If you were a terminal patient, you were not allowed to go into the Asklepion,” says Renner. “These Asklepion priests didn’t want anyone hearing that someone had died in the Asklepion. There was a huge sign just above the official entrance to the Asklepion that said, ‘Death is not permitted here.’ So the only way you were going to get in to begin with is if they knew you were going to live.”

Patients entered through an underground tunnel. Then they drank a sedative, and spent the night in the dormitories of the Asklepion, while non-poisonous snakes crawled around them all night. They were told that the serpent-god Asklepios would speak to them in their dreams and give them a diagnosis.
“It was believed that the snakes carried the healing power of Asklepios,” and if a snake slithered across you while you were sleeping at night, that was a divine sign that healing power was coming to you.”
The next morning, the patients told their “dreams” to the priests, who prescribed their treatments. Finally, the patients made clay sculptures of the body parts that needed healing and offered them to Asklepios.
The people of Pergamum worshipped a myriad of Greek and Roman gods, but when Christianity arrived with the belief in just one god, the city’s pagan priests went on the attack and their most famous victim was a man named Antipas.
In the book of Revelation, Jesus called Antipas “my faithful martyr.” He was the bishop of Pergamum, ordained by the Apostle John, and his faith got the attention of the priests of Asklepios.
“He had cast out so many devils that the demons had been complaining to pagans, saying, ‘You’ve got to do something about this Antipas’,” says Renner.
The pagan priests went to the Roman governor and complained that the prayers of Antipas were driving their spirits out of the city and hindering the worship of their gods. As punishment, the governor ordered Antipas to offer a sacrifice of wine and incense to a statue of the Roman emperor and declare that the emperor was “lord and god.”

Antipas refused.
“If you reject the divinity of the emperor, then that is the equivalent of rejecting the city of Rome,” says Renner, “and believers were killed for this.”
Antipas was sentenced to death on the Altar of Zeus. Most of that altar still survives today, and surrounding it are some of the world’s most famous marble friezes. They depict the Gigantomachy, or the battle between the Greek gods and the giants. At the top of the altar was a hollow bronze bull, designed for human sacrifice.
Renner describes the method of execution suffered by Antipas.
“They would take the victim, place him inside the bull, and they would tie him in such a way that his head would go into the head of the bull. Then they would light a huge fire under the bull, and as the fire heated the bronze, the person inside of the bull would slowly begin to roast to death. As the victim would begin to moan and to cry out in pain, his cries would echo through the pipes in the head of the bull so it seemed to make the bull come alive.”
Even in the midst of the flames, the elderly bishop Antipas died praying for his church. The year was AD 92.
A few years later, the Apostle John wrote the Book of Revelation, mentioning the death of Antipas in Pergamum. Today, all that’s left there is the foundation; the Altar of Zeus is more than a thousand miles away.
In the 19th century, German engineers dismantled the altar and took it to Berlin. The so-called “Throne of Satan” went on display in the city’s Pergamon Museum in 1930, just in time to inspire one of the most brutal dictators the world has ever seen.”

BUT JESUS HAS A FEW COMPLAINTS – HE DOES NOT APPROVE WHAT THIS GROUP IS TOLERATING – ALLOWING ACCEPTING SATANS TEACHING AMONG THEM

But I have a few complaints against you. You tolerate some among you whose teaching is like that of Balaam, who showed Balak how to trip up the people of Israel.

ALTHOUGH THIS GROUP IS BRAVE ENOUGH NOT TO DENY JESUS IS THE CITY OF HELL THEY STILL FALL SHORT OF BECOMING

WHAT IS THIS BALAAM TEACHING INFILTRATED AMOUNG THIS GROUP?

He taught them to sin by eating food offered to idols and by committing sexual sin.

THE SAME TEACHING OF NICOLAITANS

EATING IDOLATRY FOOD – FILLING MINDS WITH LIES WRONG DOCTRINE
COMMITTING PORNOGRAPHY, FORNICATION, PROSTITUTION ADULTERY SEX
SEPARATING CLERGY FROM THE PEOPLE – SPIRIT OF COMPETITION – STRIVING – SPIRIT OF SEPARATION – DEVALUE OTHERS – THIS IS NOT THE SPIRIF OF GOD WHO IS UNITY AND LOVE – ALL ARE IMPORTANT IN HIS KINGDOM – ALL ARE PRIESTS BEFORE HIM
THERE IS NO PRIEST FIRST CLASS AND OTHERS SECOND CLASS

TODAYS CHURCH SUFFERS THE SAME AFFLICTION – SIN

WRONG DOCTRINE – IDOLATRY OF COVETOUS AND STUBBINESS ( NOT YIELD TO THE SPIRIT OF GOD)
SEX IMPURITY – PORNOGRAPHY

In a similar way, you have some Nicolaitans among you who follow the same teaching.

WHAT IS JESUS ORDER TO THIS GROUP AGAINST SUCH SIN – IMPURITY?
Repent of your sin,

REPENT – TRUE REGRET – TURN AWAY FROM SIN – CHANGE OF MIND
THERE IS NO OTHER WAY BUT TO HUMBLE SEEK GOD IN REPENTANCE

or I will come to you suddenly and fight against them with the sword of my mouth. “

WHAT IS THE CONSEQUENCE OF DISOBEDIENCE?
JESUS WILL BRING JUDGEMENT AND WITH HIS WORD HE WILL BRING DOWN \CAST OUT

“Anyone with ears to hear must listen to the Spirit and understand what he is saying to the churches. ”
WHAT MUST EVERYONE DO? WHO HAS EARS? WHAT IS JESUS SAYING?
BESIDES ALL PERSEVERANCE, GOOD DOCTRINE OF SOME, SPIRITUAL DISCIPLINE ALL GROUPS – MOST FALL SHORT OF A VICTORIOUS SPIRIT
JESUS EXORTS TO REPENT OF THE SHORT COMINGS

THOSE SPIRITUAL BABIES WHO HAVE DEVELOPED EARS – BUT DO THEY HAVE AN OPEN HEART AND MIND TO STOP, GIVE JESUS FULL ATTENTION AND LISTEN

“To everyone who is victorious ”

WHAT IS THE REWARD TO THE VICTORIOUS?

ONLY THE VICTORIOUS – THERE IS NO EXCEPTION OF PEOPLE – ANYONE CAN BE VICTORIOUS.

BUT OF WHAT AND HOW?

AGAINST 2 ENEMIES :
SATAN AND HIS FALLEN ANGELS – ENEMIES OF OUR SOUL
TO OUR OWN FLESH – EGO – WHICH HAS BEN CRUCIFIED ALREADY

HOW?

1 – BY THE POWER OF THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB – IT ALL ABOUT HIM ALONE
WHAT DOES THE BLOOD DO?
IT GIVES US REDEMPTION FROM SIN – REMOVES SEPARATION – GIVES US ACCESS TO THE THRONE OF GRACE TO BE ONE WITH THE TRINITY AND TO BE ALL THAT GOD MADE US TO BE
2 – BY THE TESTIMONY – EVIDENCE OF PROVE OF WHAT?
EVIDENCE OF LIVING AND SPEAKING AS JESUS DID IN THE EARTH BY THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT – LIFE TESTED AND APPROVED
3 – DID NOT LOVE LIFE AS MUCH AS TO BE READY TO DIE FOR JESUS

I will give some of the manna that has been hidden away in heaven. And I will give to each one a white stone, and on the stone will be engraved a new name that no one understands except the one who receives it. “

WHAT IS THE 1ST PROMISE? THE REWARD?
RECEIVE MANNA FROM JESUS HIDDEN IN HEAVEN – WORD OF TRUTH AND LIFE
WHY IS IT HIDDEN? IT IS PRECIOUS AND VALUABLE

WHAT IS THE 2ND PROMISE? THE REWARD?
EACH VICTORIOUS ONE WILL RECEIVE A WHITE STONE? WHY WHITE?
WHAT IS WRITTEN ON IT?

WHITE – PURE – FOUNDATION – LIVING STONES OF THE HOUSE OF GOD
NEW NAME – NEW IDENTITY – ONLY THE ONE WHO RECEIVES IT KNOWS THE NAME

LETTER OF THYATIRA
————————————————————-
Write this letter to the angel of the church in Thyatira.

WHAT IS SPECIAL ABOUT THIS GROUP?

TO WHOM IS THE LETTER? FROM WHO IS THIS MESSAGE

This is the message from the Son of God,

JESUS DECLARES HE IS THE SON OF GOD
whose eyes are like flames of fire, whose feet are like polished bronze: “

WHAT ARE JESUS EYES ?
LIKE FLAMES OF FIRE – NOTHING IS HIDDEN FROM HIS EYES – EYES OF FIRE OF LOVE – HE LONGS FOR HIS CHILDREN ABOVE ALL FOR HE GAVE ALL FOR HIS CHILDREN – ALL IS PURIFIED AS PURE GOLD THROUGH HIS EYES

WHAT ARE JESUS FEET?
POLISHED – REFINED – TESTED AND APPROVED WITH YELLOWISH COLOUR BY THE SUN OF TRIALS ON EARTH

“I know all the things you do. ”

JESUS WALKS AMONG THE CHURCHES AND KNOWS ALL THIS GROUP DO – THERE ARE NO SECRETS OF THE ACTS DONE FROM THIS GROUP

I have seen your love, your faith, your service, and your patient endurance.

WHAT ARE THEIR DOING? “love, faith, service, and patient endurance”

And I can see your constant improvement in all these things. “

THE GROUP ARE CONSTANTLY GROWING IN THESE AREAS WHICH ARE GOOD AND NECESSARY

“But I have this complaint against you. ”

JESUS SEES ONE THING HE DOES NOT APPROVE AND IT IS AGAINST THIS GROUP ALTHOUGH ALL THIS EFFORT, PRACTICE AND IMPROVEMENT

You are permitting that woman—that Jezebel who calls herself a prophet—to lead my servants astray.

WHAT IS THIS GROUP DOING? WHAT ARE THEY ALLOWING TO HAVE GOD SERVANTS ASTRAY AND BE LEAD BY DECEIT – AWAY FROM THE CORRECT PATH

THE GROUP IS GIVING PERMISSION TO A SPECIFIC WOMAN CALLED JEZEBEL (SPECIFIC SPIRIT OF ENCHANTING AND DECEIT) TO LEAD THE SERVANTS TO WORSHIP OTHER GODS

THERE SHOULD BE ONLY ONE RIGHTEOUS AND PURE PERSON TO LEAD GODS SERVANTS AND THAT PERSON IS THE HOLY SPIRIT

ANY OTHER SPIRIT IS FROM HELL – DEVIL

WHO IS JEZEBEL?
“Jezebel’s story is told in the Books of Kings. She was a Phoenician princess, the daughter of Ethbaal, king of Tyre (1 Kings 16:31 says she was “Sidonian”, which is a biblical term for Phoenicians in general).[4] According to genealogies given in Josephus and other classical sources, she was the great-aunt of Dido, Queen of Carthage.[4] Jezebel married King Ahabof the Northern Kingdom (i.e. Israel during the time when ancient Israel was divided into Israel in the north and Judah in the south). Ahab was the son of King Omri, who had brought the northern Kingdom of Israel to great power, established Samaria as his capital, and whose historical existence is confirmed by ancient inscriptions on the Mesha Steleand the Black Obelisk of Shalmaneser III.[5]
This marriage was the culmination of the friendly relations existing between Israel and Phoenicia during Omri’s reign, and possibly cemented important political designs of Ahab. Jezebel, like the foreign wives of Solomon, required facilities for carrying on her form of worship, so Ahab made an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he had built in Samaria.[6]
Jezebel went so far as to require that her religion should be the national religion of Israel. She organized and maintained guilds of prophets, 450 of Baal, and 400 of Asherah. She also destroyed such prophets of Israel as she could reach. Obadiah, the faithful overseer of Ahab’s house, rescued one hundred of these, hid them, and secretly fed them in a cave.[6]Bromiley points out that it was Phoenician practice to install a royal woman as a priestess of Astarte. As such she would have a more active role in temple and palace relations than was customary in the Hebrew monarchy”

WHAT DOES SHE TEACH?
She teaches them to commit sexual sin and to eat food offered to idols.

FOLLOWS NICOLATIANS – BAAL TEACHING – WORSHIP IDOLS OF
IMMORALITY IN THIS GROUP
DEPEND ON PROVISION COMING FROM IDOLS OF LIFE LIKE MATERIALISM
IDOLATRY OF STUBBINESS AND COVETOUSNESS – SHOW GREAT DESIRE TO POSSESS SOMETHING – PEOPLE / OBJECT THAT DOES NOT BELONG
EVE DESIRED TO EAT THE FRUIT OF THE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL

I” gave her time to repent, but she does not want to turn away from her immorality. ”

WHAT DID JESUS DO ON HIS MERCY?
GAVE TIME TO REPENT FOR PEOPLE WHO CALL THEMSELVES PROPHETS BUT ARE LEAD BY THIS SPIRIT OF IDOLATRY AND IMPURITY

WHAT WILL JESUS DO WITH THIS GROUP DO NOT REPENT?
“Therefore, I will throw her on a bed of suffering, and those who commit adultery with her will suffer greatly unless they repent and turn away from her evil deeds.

PEOPLE WHO PERMIT HER INFLUENCE AND COMMIT ADULTERY (WORSHIP OTHER GODS INSTEAD OF GOD ALONE) WILL HER WILL SUFFER GREATLY PAIN

I will strike her children dead.

THE DESCENDANTS – FRUIT OF THEIR LABOR IN LIFE WILL PERISH

THEN WHAT WILL THE CHURCH BE AWARE AND KNOW ABOUT?

Then all the churches will know that I am the one who searches out the thoughts and intentions of every person.

THE BODY OF CHRIST WILL KNOW THAT NOTHING IS HIDDEN FROM HIS EYES OF FIRE – FULL OF LIGHT THAT SEARCHES – HE IS THE ONLY ONE WHO KNOWS ALL – TRYING TO FIND – ALL THOUGHTS AND INTENTIONS OF EVERY PERSON (NO EXCEPTION)

JESUS KNOWS ALL OUR THOUGHTS (an idea, plan, opinion, picture, etc., that is formed in your mind : something that you think of. : the act or process of thinking. : the act of carefully thinking about the details of something.)

JESUS KNOWS ALL OUR INTENTIONS (intention, intent, purpose, design, aim, end, object, objective, goal mean what one intends to accomplish or attain. intention implies little more than what one has in mind to do or bring about.)

And I will give to each of you whatever you deserve. “

WHAT WILL JESUS DO WITH THIS GROUP? JESUS WILL GIVE – GIVE WHAT?

WHATEVER THIS GROUP DESERVE – Deserve definition, to merit, be qualified for, or have a claim to (reward, assistance, punishment, etc.) because of actions)

WHAT DOES THIS GROUP DESERVE FROM THEIR ACTIONS? QUALIFY FOR WHAT?
HEAP WHAT YOU SOW

But I also have a message for the rest of you in Thyatira who have not followed this false teaching (‘deeper truths,’ as they call them—depths of Satan, actually).

DEPTHS OF SATAN – FALSE TEACHING – DECEIT AND LIES

I will ask nothing more of you except

JESUS HAS A MESSAGE TO THE GROUP WHO DOES NOT TOLERATE OR AGREE WITH THE TEACHING OF NICOLATIANS
WHAT DOES JESUS ASK FOR THIS GROUP THAT ARE COMMITTED TO THE TRUTH?

HE ASK NOTHING MORE THAN TO

that you hold tightly to what you have until I come.

HOLD TIGHTLY – ON WHAT? WHAT SHOULD THIS GROUP NOT GIVE UP OR GIVE IN (hold definition: 1. to take and keep something in your hand or arms: 2. to support something: 3. to press your nose tightly)
HOLD FIRM ON WHAT THEY HAVE
WHAT DOES THIS GROUP OF BELIEVERS HAVE?
HOW CAN THIS GROUP HOLD TIGHT WHAT THEY HAVE
HOLD UNTIL WHEN?
HOLD ON JESUS FULL OF GRACE FULL OF TRUTH – KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS WORD OF LIFE IN THEIR HEARTS
JESUS IS MORE THAN ENOUGH – ALL WE NEED ALL WE DESIRE
HOLD ON THE TRUTH OF GODS WORD UNTIL JESUS COMES
HOLD ON TO THE TRUTH
BRIDE HOLDS TIGHT ON HIM

HOW DO I HOLD TIGHT WHAT I HAVE?

FOLLOW SPIRITUAL DISCIPLINE: SEEK TO BUILD RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS BY:

1 – OFFER SACRIFICE OF PRAISE AND WORSHIP TO JESUS DAILY – PRIVATE – SEPARE TIME TO BE IN HIS PRESENCE – POSTURE OF PRIEST – GIVE JESUS FULL ATTENTION – DO NOT WAIT FOR SUNDAY – WE HAVE TO BE FULL OF HIM ALWAYS – THE HEAVEN HAS PRAISE AND WORSHIP 24/7 – PLACE ANOINTED MUSIC TO BUILD YOUR FAITH AND BE ALWAYS FULL AWARE OF PROPHETIC CDS MESSAGES THAT DECLARE TRUTHS ABOUT YOUR LIFE

2 – PRAY AND SEEK GOD DAILY – TAKE A TIME TO SPEAK WITH THE FATHER. – ASK FOR A NEW LANGUAGE OF INTIMACY PRAYER – ASK WHAT IS IN HIS HEART

3 – READ AND STUDY YOUR BIBLE AND MEDITATE IN HIM – BIBLE – ‘WORD OF GOD AND’ THE SWORD OF SPIRIT – DO NOT GET INFORMATION ONLY, RECEIVE REVELATION AND PRACTICE THE TRUTH BEING READ – SEEK THE WORD THAT PROCEEDS (FLUID) OF GOD

4 – BE A GENEROUS GIVER – TIES AND OFFERINGS – BE FAITHFUL – RESISTING THE EVIL OF THE LOVE OF MONEY AND DEPENDENCE BE FINANCIAL, PHYSICAL OR EMOTIONAL -RUN FROM SIN OF NO CONTENTMENT – COVETOUS – SIN OF DISOBEDIENCE

GUARD YOUR HEART AND WORDS UNTIL HIS RETURN

To all who are victorious, who obey me to the very end, To them I will give authority over all the nations.

WHAT IS THE REWARD TO THE VICTORIOUS OF THOSE WHO HOLD ON WHAT THEY HAVE UNTIL JESUS RETURN ?

They will rule the nations with an iron rod and smash them like clay pots.

THEY WILL RULE NATIONS- HOW? IRON ROD AND SMASH WRONG DOING

WHERE DOES THEIR AUTHORITY COME FROM?
WHAT KIND OF AUTHORITY ?

“They will have the same authority I received from my Father, ”

WHAT WILL THEY RECEIVE?
WHAT IS THE MORNING STAR?

and I will also give them the morning star! “

MORNING STAR?

The idea would be that the Lord’s people will partake of his victory “glow” in the heavenly realm.

Another scholar, Professor Robert Wall, says “it would seem likely that ‘the morning star’” is a symbol of the situation of those Christians who “overcome,” by pointing to their “future participation in the triumph of God’s rule over all those secular and materialistic pretenders to the Lord’s throne” (79).

Similarly, Frank Pack suggested:
“The victorious Christian shares in Christ’s glorious triumph and authority, and possesses Christ as an everlasting treasure” (48).

Anyone with ears to hear must listen to the Spirit and understand what he is saying to the churches.”
WHAT MUST EVERYONE DO? WHO HAS EARS? WHAT IS JESUS SAYING?
BESIDES ALL PERSEVERANCE, GOOD DOCTRINE OF SOME, SPIRITUAL DISCIPLINE ALL GROUPS – MOST FALL SHORT OF A VICTORIOUS SPIRIT
JESUS EXORTS TO REPENT OF THE SHORT COMINGS

FROM THE GREAT TIME (END TIMES) fOF TESTING IN THE WHOLE WORLD

WHO WILL BE TESTED?
ALL THOSE WHO BELONG TO THIS FALLEN WORLD

WHO BELONG TO THIS WORLD? ALL THOSE WHO ARE NOT BORN AGAIN FROM THE SPIRIT OF GOD
ALL THOSE WHO ARE CHILDREN OF SATAN THE LIAR AND FIGHTS AGAINST THE TRUTH

GOD’s PEOPLE DO NOT BELONG TO THIS WORLD, BUT ARE CITIZEN OF HEAVEN AND FROM THE KINGDOM OF GOD

I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take away your crown.
JESUS IS COMING SOON SO WHAT IS THIS GROUP MUST DO UNTIL HE COMES?
WHAT SHOULD THEY HOLD UNTIL HE COMES?
HOLD TO WHAT YOU HAVE RECEIVED – WHAT HAVE THEY RECEIVES? WHAT IS SO IMPORTANT THAT THEY NEED TO HOLD ON TIGHT?

THEY HAVE RECEIVED THE CROWN OF LIFE – THE BELIEF, CONFESSION AND ACCEPTANCE OF FORGIVENESS, REVELATION AND TRUTH OF THE HOLY SPIRIT THROUGH JESUS WHO DWELLS IN US – JESUS IS THE BREAD AND WINE WHO HAS BEEN BROKEN FOR OUR SINS AND HAS TRANSPORTED US INTO THE KINGDOM OF HIS FATHER WHO IS OUR FATHER NOW

WHAT IS THE DANGER OF NOT HOLDING SUCH REVELATION?
THE DANGER OF SOMEONE TAKE AWAY OUR CROWN – THE POSITION OF AUTHORITY AND POWER AS SONSHIP AND CITIZEN OF HEAVEN
CROWN – (be the triumphant culmination of (an effort or endeavor, especially a prolonged one).

WHAT IS THE 5 REWARDs OF THE VICTORIOUS ONE?

WHAT DOES THE CROWN POSITION MEAN?

All who are victorious
1 – will become pillars in the Temple of my God, (TRUSTWORTHY OF THE TESTIMONY THAT HOLDS THE TRUTH)
2 – and they will never have to leave it. (NOT A TEMPORARY DESTINY BUT THE ULTIMATE ETERNAL DESTINY BEFORE HIM)
3 – And I will write on them the name of my God, (JESUS HE HIMSELF WILL COME AND WRITE ON THEM TO WHOM THEY BELONG)
4 – and they will be citizens in the city of my God—the new Jerusalem that comes down from heaven from my God. (PLACE OF BELONGING, DWELLING AND
ACCEPTED TO REIGN AND STAY)
And I will also write on them my new name. “ (JESUS WILL WRITE ALSO HIS NEW NAME ON THEM – PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP)

Anyone with ears to hear must listen to the Spirit and understand what he is saying to the churches. “
WHAT MUST EVERYONE DO? WHO HAS EARS? WHAT IS JESUS SAYING?
BESIDES ALL PERSEVERANCE, GOOD DOCTRINE OF SOME, SPIRITUAL DISCIPLINE ALL GROUPS – MOST FALL SHORT OF A VICTORIOUS SPIRIT
JESUS EXORTS TO REPENT OF THE SHORT COMINGS

THOSE SPIRITUAL BABIES WHO HAVE DEVELOPED EARS – BUT DO THEY HAVE AN OPEN HEART AND MIND TO STOP, GIVE JESUS FULL ATTENTION AND LISTEN

LETTER TO LAODICEA
————————————————————-

WHAT IS SPECIAL ABOUT THIS GROUP ?

WHAT WAS THE CULTURE OF THE CITY?

“Laodicea was an important, wealthy city, with a significant Jewish population. Like other cities in the region, it was a center for Caesar worship and the worship of the healing god Asklepios. There was a famous temple of Asklepios in Laodicea, with a more famous medical school connected with the temple.

After an earthquake devastated the region in 60 a.d. Laodicea refused Imperial help in rebuilding the city, successfully relying on their own resources. They didn’t need outside help, they didn’t ask for it, and they didn’t want it. “Laodicea was too rich to accept help from anyone. Tacitus, the Roman historian, tells us: ‘Laodicea arose from the ruins by the strength of her own resources, and with no help from us.’

Laodicea was also a noted commercial center, and some of its goods were exported all over the world. It is frequently noted that Laodicea prided itself on three things: financial wealth, an extensive textile industry, and a popular eye-salve which was exported around the world.”

WHAT IS SPECIAL ABOUT THIS GROUP?
“Write this letter to the angel of the church in Laodicea. ”

WRITE TO THE LEADER OF THE CHURCH
This is the message from the one who is the Amen—the faithful and true witness, the beginning of God’s new creation: “

WHERE IS THE MESSAGE COMING FROM?
IT COMES FROM THE ONE WHO HAS THE AUTHORITY TO ESTABLISH WHATEVER HE DESIRES – HE IS FAITHFUL AND TRUE WITNESS OF GODS POWER AND LOVE – JESUS 100% MAN AND GOD IS THE BEGINNING OF GODS NEW CREATION – THE FIRST ONE TO BE RESURRECTED BEFORE HIS BRETHREN THROUGH CHRIST

I know all the things you do,

JESUS WALKS AND KNOWS ALL ABOUT EACH HEART

that you are neither hot nor cold.
JESUS NOTICED THAT THIS GROUP IS NOT HOT FOR MORE OF JESUS AND IT IS NOT COLD TO LEAVE JESUS

I wish that you were one or the other!
WHAT IS JESUS DESIRE ABOUT A HEART OF MAN?
TO BE SET ONE WAY OR ANOTHER – NOT BE DOUBLE MINDED, BUT FIXED MINDED

But since you are like lukewarm water, neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth!
WHAT IS THIS GROUP LIKE? WHAR DID JESUS COMPARE THIS GROUP WITH?
LIKE WATER – AND THE CONDITION OF THEIR HEART IS NOT COLD OR HOT.

SINCE THE HEART AND MIND ARE NOT SET – MAKE A DECISION AND STAY WITH IT JESUS WILL CAST THIS GROUP OUT OF RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM

“You say, ‘I am rich. I have everything I want. I don’t need a thing!”

WHAT DOES THIS GROUP SAY? WHY?WHAT IS THE CULTURE OF THE CITY?
WHY DECEIVE THEMSELVES?
WHAT IS THE ROOT AND MOTIVE TO SAY SUCH A FOOLTHING?
INDEPENDENT SPIRIT
SELF-SUFFICIENT
SELF RELIANT
LACK OF IDENTITY
PRIDE
CARES MORE OF THIS LIFE
NO INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS
NO HUNGER NO THIRST

And you don’t realize that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked.

WHAT DOES THIS GROUP DOES NOT REALIZE?
WHAT DO THEY DO NOT RECOGNIZE?

THEIR SOUL IS DECEIVED BY THS EVIL SPIRIT OF THE CITY
FULL OF PRIDE – SELFNESS
CONSEQUENCE:
WRETCHED – VERY UNHAPPY – POOR IN QUALITY – NO JOY OF GOD
MISERABLE – STATE OF DISTRESS – NO COMFORT OR PEACE
POOR – NO PROVISION FROM HEAVEN
BLIND – UNABLE TO SEE THE TRUTH
NAKED – NO COVERING FOR THE SHAME AND GUILT OF SIN IN LIFE

HISTORICALLY LAUDECIA WAS A PROSPEROUS TOWN IN THE ATEAS OF TEXTIL, OPHTOMOLIGY

“So I advise you ”

WHAT IS JESUS ADVISE – COUNSEL ?
HE DOES NOT COMMAND YOU ALTHOUGH HE COULD
BUT THIS CAN ONLY BE DONE BY VOLUNTARY LOVE AND HEART
IT IS NOT ACHIEVED BY FORCING BUT BY GIVING

“to buy”

3 PURCHASES

gold from me—gold that has been purified by fire.

WHAT IS THE SOLUTION? WHAT IS JESUS ADVISE?
TO BUY GOLD – FROM WHOM? FROM JESUS
WHY? HOW?
BECAUSE THE GOLD HE PROVIDES HAS BEEN PURIFIED BY FIRE
WHAT DOES GOLD MEAN?

KINGSHIP ON EARTH – CONQUERER – VICTORIOUS – LAST FOREVER
TO BUY FROM JESUS IS TO BE ONE WITH HIM WHO HAS THE FAITH, CHARACTER AND THE WILL OF GOD
THE WORKS – DEEDS DONE THROUGH FAITH UNDER HIS LEADERSHIP THAT IS PURE AND LAST FOREVER

THERE IS A PRICE TO BE PAID HERE. THERE IS SACRIFICE TO BE MADE THAT ONLY THIS GROUP MUST AND CAN DO
IT IS NOT ONLY ABOUT RECEIVING FREE SALVATION, BUT IT IS TO BUY PURITY – TO BE HOLY AND HOT AFTER GOD AND BUY FROM JESUS

THE COST COMES FROM:
THE MIND, SOUL AND FLESH TO SURRENDER TO THE SPIRIT OF GOD AND HIS LEADERSHIP

HOW DO WE BUY? TO BUY WHAT?

JESUS GOLD IS PURE SO IT IS BOUGHT BY THROUGH FIRE – HIS FIRE. BEING CLOSE TO THE FIRE

YIELD IN ENGAGING INTIMATE WITH WHOM IS SELLING
TO YIELD TO THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD
ACCEPT WHAT IT IS BEING OFFERED
YIELD TO THE PRICE THAT IT IS BEING REQUESTED – WHOLE LIFE AS JESUS OFFERED HIS WHOLE LIFE
YIELDING WORK – EFFORT – DISCIPLINE – LET HIS FIRE BURN ALL GARBAGE TO ACHIEVE PURE GOLD

WHAT IS THE TRADE OF BUYING GOLD FROM JESUS?
HIS LEADERSHIP, WAYS AND GUIDANCE THAT ARE PERFECT
THE FATHER WILL REWARD VERY WELL

Then you will be rich.

RICHES COMES FROM BUYING AND RECEIVING FROM JESUS – BEING INTIMATE WITH HIM AND HIS WILL

TO BE RICH BE WALK ASIDE LEARN FROM THE ONE WHO IS RICH

SECOND PURCHASE
Also buy white garments from me so you will not be shamed by your nakedness,

THERE IS ALSO GARMENTS TO BUY AS WELL AND THEY ARE WHITE – PURE WASHED BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB – SUCH GARMENTS OF PRAISE TO HIM WILL REMOVE THE SHAME OF OUR NAKEDNESS – BREAK LOOSE ALL IMPURITY AND GUILT OF SIN

HOW DO WE BUY WHITE GARMENTS?
BY RECEIVING AND BELIEVING THE WORD OF GOD
JESUS TOLD THE DISCIPLES YOU ARE WASHED BY THE WORD

and ointment for your eyes so you will be able to see.

THERE IS SPIRITUAL OINTMENT – ANOINTING ONLY WAY TO SEE – REMOVE THE DIRT – BARRIERS THAT BLOCKS VISION
OINTMENT – DOES NOT ALLOW ATTACHMENTS OF DIRT BUT BRING HEALING
OINTMENT SPEAKS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN US
EYES SPEAKS OF REVELATION TO OUR SPIRIT SO THAT WE CAN SEE THE TRUTH AND WALK IN IT

DO YOU KNOW HOW A SHEPHERD TREATS HIS SHEEP TO AVOID DIRT AND PARASITES FROM CRAWLING INSIDE THE SHEEP EARS GOING TOWARDS THEIR BRAIN CAUSING THElI M TO BECOME CRAZY ANS DIE?

CONSTANT USE OF OINTMENT TO MAKE THE EARS CLEAN AND SLIPPERY PREVENTING THESE PARASITES FROM CRAWLING AND DWELLING IN THEIR EARS AND BRAINS
NO ATTACHMENT FOR DIRT AND NASTY BUGS

I correct and discipline everyone I love.

IN JESUS LOVE THERE IS CORRECTION AND DISCIPLINE

“So be diligent and turn from your indifference. “

WHAT DOES JESUS ASK OF THIS GROUP

TWO POSITIONS THIS GROUP MUST DO TO GET INTO ALIGNMENT WITH JESUS APPROVAL

1 – BE DILIGENT – CONSCIENTIOUS – CAREFUL – THOUGHTFUL
characterized by steady, earnest, and energetic effort : painstaking. a diligent worker.

industrious, hard-working, assiduous, conscientious, particular, punctilious, meticulous, painstaking, rigorous, careful, thorough, sedulous, earnest

2 – TURN FROM YOUR INDIFFERENCE
the quality of not caring about or being interested in something or someone – lack of interest, concern, or sympathy, mediocrity.
CHANGE MIND OF A LIFE OF NOT CARING FOR WHAT IT IS IMPORTANT
CHANGE MIND OF A LIFE OF MEDIOCRITY

JESUS CALLS ATTENTION TO SOMETHING VERY IMPORTANT
JESUS SHOWS THE ANSWER AND PATH TO REACH THE TWO POINTS

HIS DESIRE IS CONNECTION – RELATIONSHIP IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE THESE TWO POINTS
HE KNOWS THE GROUP IS WEAK ( NOT HOT OR COLD)

THE HUMAN HEART NEEDS TO CRY OUT FOR BEING NEITHER HOT OR COLD ON HOW TO BE DILIGENT AND AWAY FROM INDIFFERENCE
BUT HOW?
JESUS SHOWS THE ANSWER – HE CALLS ATTENTION TO HIMSELF FOR HE IS THE TRUE DOOR AND THERE IS NOT OTHER

HE IS THE DOOR FOR THE ANSWER TO BE HOT AND PASSION FOR HIM

HE IS AT THE DOOR OF THE CHURCH
EVERYONE IS IN THE CHURCH ENJOYING WITH THE EXCEPTION OF JESUS
JESUS IS NOT IN THE CHURCH SINCE IT HAS NOT BEEN OPEN FOR HIM
HE ASKS TO DO WHAT ?

“Look! I stand at the door and knock. ”

WHAT IS THE ANSWER? WHERE IS JESUS IN ALL OF THIS?
HE IS AT THE DOOR STANDING – HE IS WAITING PATIENTLY

JESUS IS THE DOOR – “I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.” JOHN 10:9

JESUS IS THE DOOR BUT THIS DOOR HERE IS THE DOOR OF THE HUMAN HEART
JESUS HONORS AND RESPECT THIS DOOR – THE FREE WILL OF MAN
THIS DOOR IS ONLY OPENED FROM THE INSIDE THERE IS NO WAY TO OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE

DOOR OF WHAT?
AT THE DOOR FOR HIS KISSES AND RELATIONSHIP
AT THE DOOR OF OPPORTUNITY
AT THE DOOD OF CONNECTION
AT THE DOOR OF HOPE
AT THE DOOR OF SURRENDER
AT THE DOOD OF CRYING OUT
AT THE DOOR OF SALVATION
AT THE DOOR OF COMMUNION

BUT ONLY HUMAN HEART CAN HEAR, ACCEPT AND OPEN IT FROM HE INSID

WHAT IS HE DOING? WHY?
JESUS IS KNOCKING – CALLING – TRYING TO COMMUNICATE

SONG OF SONGS

“If you hear my voice and open the door, ”

JESUS IS CALLING WITH HIS SWEET VOICE
HE IS NOT REQUIRING ANYTHING BUT JUST TO HEAR HIS VOICE AND OPEN THE DOOR OF COMMUNION

HIS VOICE NEEDS TO BE HEARD IN ORDER TO OPEN THE DOOR
MANY VOICES IN RHE WORLD BUT ONLY HIS VOICE IS KEY TO OPEN THE HEART

CONNECTION IS KEY FOR THE HEALING OF HUMAN HEART
HUMAN HEART WAS MADE FOR CONNECTION – RELATIONSHIP

“I will come in, and we will share a meal together as friends. ”

TO DO WHAT? WHAT DOES JESUS WANT TO DO?
HE WANTS TO COME IN – BUT WHERE?

COME INTO ALL PLACES IN THE LIFE OF THE GROUP –
COME IN TO CONNECT – WHERE?
TO THE POOR, NEEDY, BLIND, NACKED AND ORPHAN HEART
SECRETS OF THE HEART
PAINS / FRUSTRATIONS IN LIFE
LONENESS OF HEART FOR HIS GLORY
DISTANT FEELINGS AND LACK OF RELATIONSHIPS
SOUL OF MAN – MIND AND THOUGHTS

WHAT IS JESUS GOING TO DO WHEN HE COMES IN?

FELLOWSHIP AND EAT

EAT WHAT? HOW?

HE ASKS US TO EAT OF HIM – HIS WORDS AND DRINK OF THE NEW WINE – BE FILLED OF THE HOLY SPIRIT WITH THE NEW WINE

“So Jesus said again, “I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you cannot have eternal life within you. But anyone who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise that person at the last day.”

“Anyone who eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him. I live because of the living Father who sent me; in the same way, anyone who feeds on me will live because of me. I am the true bread that came down from heaven. Anyone who eats this bread will not die as your ancestors did (even though they ate the manna) but will live forever.”” John‬ ‭6:53-54, 56-58‬ ‭NLT‬‬

CONNECTION WITH BREAD (MEDITATE ON THE WORD) AND WINE (DRINK WITH SINGING AND JOY)
PRODUCE DILIGENCE AND REMOVE INDIFFERENCE
CONNECTION – LINK WITH THE VINE PRODUCES MUCH FRUIT
“Those who are victorious ”

WHAT HAPPENS TO THE WINNERS – THOSE WHO PERSEVERE UNTIL THE END?

will sit with me on my throne, just as I was victorious and sat with my Father on his throne. “

POSITION OF KING – DOMINION – REST IN PEACE – ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Anyone with ears to hear must listen to the Spirit and understand what he is saying to the churches.””

THOSE SPIRITUAL BABIES WHO HAVE DEVELOPED EARS – HAVE OPEN HEART AND MIND TO STOP, BUT NEED TO STOP AND GIVE JESUS FULL ATTENTION AND LISTEN

‭‭Revelation‬ ‭3:1-22‬ ‭NLT‬‬

CHAPTER 4

WORSHIP IN HEAVEN

“Then as I looked, I saw a door standing open in heaven,

“In the season of the door, do not take ‘No’ for an answer! I have given you free reign with no restrictions. I have gone before you to clear a paved path. I have given you the power to break down bronze gates, smash locks and kick down barred entrances.”

WHAT DID JOHN DO TO SEE SOMETHING NEW?
HE LOOKED – “turn our eyes in a particular direction to see something”
HE DID NOT STOP SEARCHING IN GODS PRESENCE – HE TURN TO THE RIGHT DIRECTION – ALIGNED TO SEE

JOHN SAW A DOOR OPEN IN HEAVEN – IT CONTINUED OPEN
JESUS IS THE DOOR – HE HAS OPENED THE DOOR THAT CONTINUES OPEN TODAY FOR US TO ENTER IN THE HEAVEN

“and the same voice I had heard before spoke to me like a trumpet blast. ”

WITH THE VISION OF AN OPEN DOOR – IT COMES A VOICE SAME AS SPOKEN BEFORE
WITHOUT VISION OF THE OPEN DOOR JESUS THERE IS NO LISTENING OF THE POWERFUL VOICE OF JESUS
THE ORDER IS TO ALIGNED HEART HUNGRY FOR MORE OF JESUS TOWARS THE RIGHT DIRECTION TO BE ABLE TO SEE JESUS AND THEN TO HEAR HIS VOICE

The voice said, “Come up here,

WHAT DID THE VOICE SAY? WHAT DOES IS SPEAK TODAY?

COME TO A NEW PLACE – COME UP
1. to arise; begin
a light breeze came up
2. to be mentioned, as in a discussion
3. to rise or improve, as in status
4. to be put forward, as for a vote

“and I will show you what must happen after this.”

IN ORDER TO SEE WHAT WILL HAPPEN, FIRST IT IS NECESSARY TO POSITION IN HIGHER PLACE

And instantly I was in the Spirit,

WHAT HAPPENED WITH JOHN AS HE OBEYED?
HE WAS IN THE SPIRIT OF GOD QUICKLY

REVELATION OF JESUS COMES TO AND THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIF TO OUR SPIRIT

and I saw a throne in heaven and someone sitting on it.

BY BEING IN THE SPIRIT OF GOD, WHAT DID HE SEE?
WHAT DO WE SEE IN THS SPIRIT?

THRONE IN HEAVEN – ONE GOD – ONE KINGDOM
JESUS IS THE ONE SITTING ON IT

The one sitting on the throne was as brilliant as gemstones—like jasper and carnelian. And the glow of an emerald circled his throne like a rainbow.

THE ONE ON THE THRONE SHINES – JOHN DESCRIBES BASED ON WHAT HE KNEW ABOUT GEMSTONES AND THE BRIGHT OF IT TO COMPARE

THERE WAS A GLOW CIRCLED AROUND THE THRONE LIKE A RAINBOW
GLOW OF LIGHF AND GLORY – INFINITE POWER

Twenty-four thrones surrounded him, and twenty-four elders sat on them.

WHAT SURROUNDED JESUS ON HIS THRONE?
24 THRONES –

The Meaning of Numbers: The Number 24
The number 24 is associated with the priesthood. Since it is composed of a multiple of 12, it takes on some of 12’s meaning (which is God’s power and authority, as well as perfect foundation) except in a higher form. Twenty-four, therefore, is also connected with the worship of God, especially at the temple.
It was King David who divided those responsible for the music in temple services, those who served as priests, and the Levites who aided the priests, into 24 courses (1Chronicles 23 – 24). When a particular course of priests served they usually divided their work amongst themselves by lot.

WHO SEAT ON THE 24 THRONES?
ELDERS – EXPERIENCE – APPROVED

They were all clothed in white and had gold crowns on their heads.

WHAT DID THEY WEAR? WHAT DID THEY HAVE ON THEIR HEADS?
THEY WERE CLOTHED IN WHITE – PURE
GOLD – PURE CROWNS – AUTHORITY – REIGN

“From the throne came flashes of lightning and the rumble of thunder. ”

WHAT WAS GOING ON FROM THAT PLACE OF REIGN?
FLASHES OF POWER AND RUMBLE
NOT A QUIET PLACE – BUT OF POWER AND GLORY

“And in front of the throne were seven torches with burning flames. ”

WHAT WAS IN FRONT OF GODS THRONE?
SEVEN TOUCHES WITH BURNING FLAMES – 7 PERFECT

“This is the sevenfold Spirit of God. ”

SEVENFOLD – “being seven times as great or as many ”

“In front of the throne was a shiny sea of glass, sparkling like crystal. ”

SEA OF GLASS SPARKLING LIKE CRYSTAL – TRANSPARENCY IN HIS PRESENCE

In the center and around the throne were four living beings, each covered with eyes, front and back.

WHO WERE AROUND THE THRONE? WHAT WERE THEY COVERED BY?

The first of these living beings was like a lion; – KING OF KINGS – BOOK OF MATHEW
the second was like an ox; – BONDSERVANT – SACRIFICE – BOOK OF MARK
the third had a human face; – SON OF MAN – BOOK OF JOHN
and the fourth was like an eagle in flight. – SON OF GOD – BOOK OF LUKE

THEY ARE REAL BEINGS POWERFUL REPRESENTING GODS CHARACTER
THEY ALSO HAVE THE HARP (WORSHIP) AND THE INCENSE OF THE PRAYERS OF THE SAINTS
THEY ARE VERY CLOSE TO THE THRONE IN MOVEMENT – LEADING IN WORSHIP TO THE SON — GIVING HONOR TO THE SON AS THEY GIVE TO THE FATHER GOD

Each of these living beings had six wings, and their wings were covered all over with eyes, inside and out.

NOTHING IS HIDDEN – FULL ATTENTION – GUARDING THE PRESENCE –
NOTHING PASSES BY WITHOUT SEEING OR KNOWING

WHAT DO THEY DO FOR ALL ETERNITY?
WHAT DO THEY DECLARE? WHY?

“Day after day and night after night they keep on saying, ”

“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God, the Almighty— the one who always was, who is, and who is still to come.”

THERE IS NO STOP OF GODS GLORY AND REVELATION
WHAT MAKES THE 4 LIVING CREATURES DO WHAT THEY DO?
THE CREATURES SEE SOMETHING NEW IN GOD (FROM ALL ANGLES) AND THEY DECLARE – HOLY – PERFECT – YOU ARE ONE WITH YOUR WORD

“Whenever the living beings give glory and honor and thanks to the one sitting on the throne (the one who lives forever and ever), ”

THE 4 LIVING CREATURES – EXPRESSIONS OF GODS CHARACTER
ALSO GIVE (DECLARE SINGING) TO THE ONE SITTING ON THE THRONE JESUS
GLORY
HONOR
THANKS

WHAT HAPPENS IN HEAVEN?
WHAT ACTIONS OF THE 4 LIVING CREATURES RESULT IN HEAVEN? WHAT TIME DO THEY DO THIS?
SPONTANEOUS SPRIT AT ANY TIME IN HIS PRESENCE
NO SPECIFIC OR RIGID OR FORCED SINGING OF TRUTH – BUT SPONTANEOUS AND FREE
WHERE THE SPIRIT OF GOD IS THERE IS FREEDOM – SPONTANEOUS WORSHIP

THEY DECLARE AND GIVE WHAT IT IS TRUTH
WHEREVER TRUTH IS RELEASED IN FREEDOM AND SPONTANEOUS SPIRIT THERE IS WORSHIP AND SURRENDER

WHERE TRUE WORSHIP AND SURRENDER ORIGINATE FROM? WHAT TRIGGERS IT?
SPONTANEOUS SINGING OF TRUTH – WHEN TRUTH IS RELEASED

the twenty-four elders fall down and worship the one sitting on the throne (the one who lives forever and ever).

THE 24 ELDERS RECOGNIZE – JUST DO THAT THERE IS ONLY ONE KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS SITTING ON THE THRONE

PERFECT GOVERNING AND ORDER ARE SURRENDERED TO THE ONE WHO IS WORTHY
THEY FALL DOWN
THEY WORSHIP

WHAT ELSE DO THEY DO?
And they lay their crowns before the throne and say,

THE CROWNS OF GOLD OF THE 24 ELDERS ARE REMOVED FROM THEIR OWN HEADS
THERE IS ONLY ONE HEAD – ONE PERFECT REIGN, ONE LEADERSHIP, ONE GOD
THERE IS NO DIVISION OR DOUBT OF WHO REIGN FOR ALL ETERNITY

NO MORE SIN OF COVETOUS IN HEAVEN LIKE SATAN ONCE HAD AND IT WAS REMOVED FROM HEAVEN WITH THE OTHER FALLEN ANGELS

WHAT WAS 24 ELDERS DECLARATION BESIDES FALLING AND PLACING THEIR CROWNS BEFORE THE THRONE OF JESUS
WHAT TRUTH THEY RELEASED SO THAT ALL HEAVEN COULD LISTEN?

“You are worthy, O Lord our God, to receive glory and honor and power.

WHY IS JESUS WORTHY TO RECEIVE GLORY, HONOR AND POWER?

For you created all things, and they exist because you created what you pleased.””

JESUS IS THE WORD OF GOD SINCE THE BEGINNING OF CREATION OF ALL THINGS
THE CREATION CAME TO EXISTENCE BASED ON HIS DESIRE AND DESIGN

– LIFE AND DEATH (KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL) WHERE ALL CREATION CAN WITH FREE WILL DESIDE ALSO WHAT SIDE THEY WANT TO BE

‭‭Revelation‬ ‭4:1-11‬ ‭NLT‬‬

———————————————

CHAPTER 5

THE SCROLL

“Then I saw a scroll in the right hand of the one who was sitting on the throne.

WHAT DID JOHN SEE MORE SPECIFIC ON THS THRONE?
WHAT WAS JESUS HOLDING? SCROLL

There was writing on the inside and the outside of the scroll, and it was sealed with seven seals.

WHY WAS IT WRITTEN IN AND OUSIDE OF IT?
NOTHING HIDDEN – EXPOSED TO ALL TO SEE THAT WORK HAS BEEN DONE
WHY WAS THERE 7 SEALS?
PERFECT LOCK OF SEALS NOT TO BE BROKEN OR OPENED BY ANYONE EXCEPT BY JESUS

And I saw a strong angel, who shouted with a loud voice:

JOHN SAW A SPECIAL ANGEL THAT EVEN STRONG WAS NOT ABLE TO BREAK THE SEALS
IT NOT BY POWER OR BY MIGHT BUT IT IS BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD TO OPENED IT THROUGH JESUS

THE ANGEL SHOUTED IN LOUD VOICE – WHAT AND WHY?

“Who is worthy to break the seals on this scroll and open it?”

IS IT SUPPOSED TO BE OPENED? WHO CAN OPEN IT? ONLY WHO IS WORTHY
YES IT WAS WRITTEN TO BE REVEALED
WHO IS WORTHY TO OPEN IT? JESUS – THE ONE WHO PAID THE PRICE WITH HIS BLOOD TO OPEN IT

But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll and read it.

UNTIL JESUS VICTORY ON THE CROSS THERE WAS NO ONE WORTHY TO OPEN AND READ THE SCROLL

Then I began to weep bitterly because no one was found worthy to open the scroll and read it.

WHY DID JOHN START TO WEEP SO MUCH?
HE DISCERNED IN HIS SPIRIT THAT BY OPENING AND READING THE SCROLL – KINGDOM, RIGHTEOUSNESS AND LOVE OF GOD WOULD BE ESTABLISHED AGAINST ALL THE ENEMIES AND CORRUPTED WORLD

But one of the twenty-four elders said to me, “Stop weeping!

ONE OF THE 24 ELDERS TOLD WHAT TO JOHN? WHY ONE OF THE 24?
ELDERS ARE EXPERIENCED AND KNOW

TO STOP OF NOT KNOWING THE TRUTH

Look, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the heir to David’s throne, has won the victory. He is worthy to open the scroll and its seven seals.”

LET THE TRUTH BE KNOW – WHAT IS TO LOOK?
WHO IS WORTHY? WHO WON ? WON WHAT?

NOT THE LAMB OF GOD, BUT THE LION OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH
HEIR TO DAVIDS THRONE
HE WON OVER SATAN, SIN AND DEATH

Then I saw a Lamb that looked as if it had been slaughtered, but it was now standing between the throne and the four living beings and among the twenty-four elders.

THE 24 CALLED JESUS THE LION OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH, BUT JOHN SAW JESUS A LAMB THAT IT SEEMED HAD BEEN SLAUGHTERED

24 ELDERS WERE NOT RESCUED BY JESUS AND DID NOT HAD THE REVELATION AS JOHN DID BEING SAVED BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB

WHERE WAS THE LAMB IN HEAVEN? AT THAT MOMENT WHAT WAS HE DOING?
HE WAS AT THE CENTER OF GOD’S PRESENCE
HE WAS STANDING HOLDING HIS GROUND OF BEING WORTHY OF THAT POSITION BETWEEN THE THRONE OF GRACE AND JUDGMENTS – AT THE MERCY SEAT

He had seven horns and seven eyes, which represent the sevenfold Spirit of God that is sent out into every part of the earth.

WHAT AMD HOW DID JOHN SEE JESUS NOW? WHAT WAS JESUS APPEARANCE?
HE SAW BEYOND THE VEIL NOT ONLY THE LAMB OF GOD BUT HE GOT A DEEPER REVELATION OF JESUS AND HIS POWER

JESUS PERFECT AUTHORITY (7 HORNS) AND PERFECT REVELATION OF HIMSELF (7 EYES) WERE THERE WITH A PURPOSE ->TO BE SENT BY GOD TO EVERY PART ON EARTH

HIS AUTHORITY AND REVELATION OF HIM WERE TO BE DISPLAYED IN ALL THE EARTH

“He stepped forward and took the scroll from the right hand of the one sitting on the throne. ”

WHAT DID JESUS DO AFTER STANDING BEFORE THE FATHER AND HIS CREATION?
STEPPED FORWARD IN LOVE AND OBEDIENCE
TOOK THE SCROW IN LOVE AND OBEDIENCE

HE STEPPED FORWARD IN LOVE AND COMPASSION FOR ALL THOSE WHO BELIEVED AND RECEIVED HIM

HE BY HIS BLOOD TOOK THE DESTINY OF HUMAN KIND AND ALL CREATION BECAUSE HE IS WORTHY

TO DO WHAT? WHAT WAS JESUS CALLED TO DO?

TO TAKE FROM THE RIGHT HAND OF THE FATHER THE SCROW
WHY DID JESUS DO THIS?

JESUS – THE HIGH PRIEST FULLY MAN AND GOD PAID THE PRICE BY HIS SACRIFICE AND RESURRECTION TO BE ABLE TO OPEN THE SCROW AND SAVE ALL THOSE THAT THE FATHER HAD GIVEN TO HIM.

WITHOUT HIS INTERVENTION, THE MERCY AND JUSTICE OF GOD WRITTEN IN THE SCROW WOULD NOT BE REVEALED AND THE WORLD WOULD BE DESTROYED WITHOUT HOPE

And when he took the scroll, the four living beings and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb.

WHAT DID IT HAPPEN WHEN JESUS TOOK THE SCROW?
WHAT WAS HEAVENS REACTION IN ALL ETERNITY?
WHAT DID THE 4 LIVING BEINGS AND 24 ELDERS DO?

ONLY AFTER JESUS TOOK THE SCROW THEY RECOGNIZED HIS PERFECTION AND AUTHORITY AND FELL DOWN BEFORE THE LAMB – GODS SACRIFICE AND WORSHIP HIM

“Each one had a harp, and they held gold bowls filled with incense, which are the prayers of God’s people. ”

WHAT DID EACH ONE HAVE? WHY DID THEY HAVE WHAT THEY HAD?

EACH ONE HAD A HARP – INSTRUMENT THAT PRODUCES SOUND – FREQUENCY
EACH ONE IS RESPONSIBLE TO PRODUCE THE SOUND OF WORSHIP
OTHERS DID NOT PLAY FOR OTHERS BUT EACH ONE DID WHAT THEY WERE MADE TO BE – WORSHIPPERS OF THE MOSF HIGH GOD
THE FREQUENCY INSPIRED BY GOD TO WORSHIP HIM

SUCH SOUND AND FREQUENCY WERE LIFE AND POWER

BESIDES THE HARP – FIRST WORSHIPPERS
WHAT ELSE DID THEY HELD?
THEY HELD BOWS OF GOLD – PURE – UNDEFILED

WHAT DID THE BOWS HAD INSIDE THEM? WERE THEY FULL?

FULL OF INCENSE – PRAYERS OF GODS PEOPLE SINCE CREATION – A LOT OF PRAYERS

WHY DID THEY HELD THE PRAYERS OF THE SAINTS?
THEY WERE IN CHARGE OF BRINGING THE INCENSE BEFORE GOD
BUT NOT BEFORE WORSHIPPING GOD

AS IT IS GODS WILL IN HEAVEN SO IT SHOULD BE IN THE EARTH
BE A WORSHIPPER
BE A PRAYER WARRIOR

FOLLOW THE PATTERN OF HEAVEN – DIVINE ORDER

And they sang a new song with these words

WHAT DID JOHN HEAR? WHAT WAS NEW IN HEAVEN?

WHAT DID IT HAPPEN AFTER JESUS APPEARED, STEPPED FORWARD AND TOOK THE SCROW FROM THE RIGHT HAND (WHAT IS MANIFESTED -SEEN) OF THE FATHER?

A NEW SOUND CAME ALIVE DURING ETERNITY THAT WAS ORIGINATED AFTER JESUS STEPPED IN BEFORE ALL AND TOOK THE SCROW

A NEW SONG THAT HAS NEVER SUNG BEFORE WAS GIVEN TO THE 24 ELDERS AND 4 BEINGS

THE DID NOT ONLY SING BUT ALSO BOWED DOWN TO JESUS IN WORSHIP

THERE IS NOTHING NEW WITHOUT JESUS AND WORSHIPING – YIELDING TO JESUS – JESUS IS THE FOUNTAIN OF NEWNESS –

: “You are worthy to take the scroll and break its seals and open it.For you were slaughtered, and your blood has ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation. And you have caused them to become a Kingdom of priests for our God. And they will reign on the earth.”

WHAT DID THE SONG SAY? WHAT WAS THE TRUTH SPOKEN OF JESUS AND WHAT HE DID?

FIRST THAT HE IS WORTHY TO TAKE IT, BREAK THE SEALS AND OPEN IT
WHY?
JESUS WAS SLAUGHTERED – CRUCIFIED – DIED AND BURIED
HIS BLOOD PAID THE PRICE AND RANSOMED
WHO HAS BEEN RANSOMED AND SAVED?
PEOPLE OF ALL NATIONS
JESUS DID NOT ONLY SAVED, BUT HE ALSO AS THE HIGH PRIEST CAUSED THE PEOPLE HIS BRETHREN TO BECOME PRIESTS OF THE MOST HIGH
AND ALSO TO REIGN IN THE EARTH WITH JESUS

Then I looked again, and I heard the voices of thousands and millions of angels around the throne and of the living beings and the elders.

WHAT HAPPEN AFTER THE SONG WAS SUNG ON HAVEAN?
WHAT DID JOHN HEAR?

And they sang in a mighty chorus: “Worthy is the Lamb who was slaughtered— to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing.”

WHAT WAS HEAVEN IN AGREEMENT AND ACCEPTANCE?
WHAT DID CREATION IN HEAVEN DO?
THEY SANG – MIGHTY FREQUENCY OF POWER
WHAT WAS IN HARMONY IN HEAVEN?

JESUS IS WORTHY!!! AS HE WAS SLAUGHTERED TO RECEIVE. RECEIVE WHAT?

POWER
RICHES
WISDOM
STRENGTH
HONOR
GLORY
BLESSINGS

IN JESUS WE RECEIVE ALL SUCH BLESSINGS AS WELL

And then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea.

AS JESUS RECEIVE ALL POWER AND GLORY, WHAT DID EVERY CREATURE IN HEAVEN AND EARTH DO?
THEY ALSO SANG – WHAT DID THE SING THE ONES REDEEMED BY HIS BLOOD

They sang: “Blessing and honor and glory and power belong to the one sitting on the throne and to the Lamb forever and ever.”

THEY SANG THE TRUTH OF WHO IS WORTHY TO RECEIVE BLESSINGS, GLORY AND POWER

TO THE FATHER WHO IS SITTING ON THE THRONE
AND ALSO TO THE LAMB OF GOD FOREVER MORE

And the four living beings said, “Amen!” And the twenty-four elders fell down and worshiped the Lamb.”

4 LIVING BEINGS SEALED – AMEM SO BE IT FOR ALL ETERNITY
AT THE BEGINNING AND END JESUS IS WORSHIPPED
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭5:1-14‬ ‭NLT‬‬

——————————–
CHAPTER 6

THE LAMB STEPPED FORWARD AND TOOK THE SCROW THAT HAD 7 SEALS FROM THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD AND HERE HE STARTED TO BREAK THE FIRST SIX SEALS

“As I watched, the Lamb broke the first of the seven seals on the scroll.

Then I heard one of the four living beings say with a voice like thunder, “

THE 4 LIVING CREATURES MADE THE DECLARATION

FIRST SEAL – WHITE HORSE – RIDE VICTORIOUSLY

“Come!” I looked up and saw a white horse standing there. Its rider carried a bow, and a crown was placed on his head. He rode out to win many battles and gain the victory.

RIDER HAD A BOW – PRAYERS OF THE SAINTS
RIDER HAD A CROWN – AUTHORITY TO DO WHAT HE WAS CALLED TO DO
JESUS IS RELEASED IN THE CHURCH IN TO GAIN VICTORY

SECOND SEAL – RED HORSE – WARS AND SLAUGHTER EVERYWHERE

When the Lamb broke the second seal, I heard the second living being say, “Come!” Then another horse appeared, a red one. Its rider was given a mighty sword and the authority to take peace from the earth. And there was war and slaughter everywhere.

THE RIDER HAD A MIGHTY SWORD
THE RIDER HAD AUTHORITY TO TAKE OUT PEACE AND BRING WAR – SLAUGHTER

THIRD SEAL – BLACK HORSE – ECONOMICAL CAOS

When the Lamb broke the third seal, I heard the third living being say, Come!” I looked up and saw a black horse, and its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. And I heard a voice from among the four living beings say, “A loaf of wheat bread or three loaves of barley will cost a day’s pay. And don’t waste the olive oil and wine.”

THE RIDER HAD A PAIR OF SCALES IN HIS HAND – WORLD ECONOMY AFFECTED
THE RIDER READY FOR JUDGEMENT

FORTH SEAL – PALE GREEN HORSE – KILL THROUGH SWORD, FAMINE AND DISEASE

When the Lamb broke the fourth seal, I heard the fourth living being say, “Come!” I looked up and saw a horse whose color was pale green. Its rider was named Death, and his companion was the Grave. These two were given authority over one-fourth of the earth, to kill with the sword and famine and disease and wild animals.

RIDER CALLED DEATH AND COMPANION GRAVE
RIDER AND COMPANION HAD AUTHORITY TO KILL WITH SWORD AND FAMINE 25%

FIFTH SEAL – SAINTS CRY FOR JUSTICE – EACH ONE RECEIVED WHITE ROPE

When the Lamb broke the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of all who had been martyred for the word of God and for being faithful in their testimony. They shouted to the Lord and said, “O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, how long before you judge the people who belong to this world and avenge our blood for what they have done to us?” Then a white robe was given to each of them. And they were told to rest a little longer until the full number of their brothers and sisters —their fellow servants of Jesus who were to be martyred—had joined them.

NO RIDER – WHAT DID JOHN SEE?
UNDER THE ALTAR THE SOULS OF THE MARTYRED FOR:
WORD OF GOD
FAITHFUL IN THE TESTIMONY

THE SAINTS ARE ASKING WHEN WILL JUDGEMENT TAKE PLACE
THEN:
THE SAINTS RECEIVED WHITE ROBE
IT WAS TOLD TO THE SAINTS TO WAIT FOR THE OTHERS MARTYRED TO JOIN THEM – UNTIL FULL NUMBER IS REACHED

SIXTH SEAL – GREAT EARTHQUAKE – STARS FALLING ON THE EARTH

I watched as the Lamb broke the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake. The sun became as dark as black cloth, and the moon became as red as blood. Then the stars of the sky fell to the earth like green figs falling from a tree shaken by a strong wind. The sky was rolled up like a scroll, and all of the mountains and islands were moved from their places. Then everyone—the kings of the earth, the rulers, the generals, the wealthy, the powerful, and every slave and free person—all hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains. And they cried to the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of the one who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb. For the great day of their wrath has come, and who is able to survive?””

NO RIDER – FULFILLMENT OF THE GREAT DAY OF THE LORD
GREAT EARTHQUAKE – EARTH ALIGNMENT SHIFTED
SUN BECOME DARK – SMOKE – VOLCANOS ERUPTED
MOON LIKE RED – ASHES
STARS – METEORITES FELL FROM SKY INTO THE EARTH
MOUNTAINS AND ISLANDS WERE MOVED FROM PLACE

EVERY HUMAN BEING AND CREATION TRIED TO HIDE FROM THE WRATH OF THE LAMB – NOT FROM GOD THOUGH THEY ARE ONE

WHO COULD SURVIVE?
‭‭

CHAPTER 7

GOD KEEPS SAFE HIS CHILDREN

WHAT DID JOHN SEE THIS TIME?

“Then I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds so they did not blow on the earth or the sea, or even on any tree.

HE SAW 4 ANGELS IN THE FOUR CORNERS OF THE EARTH
WHAT WERE THEY DOING? WHAT WERE THE HOLDING BACK TO HAPPEN?

THEY WERE HOLDING 4 WINDS (POWER OF HARMING CREATION)
OF DOING WHAT?
PREVENTING FROM THESE WINDS FROM COMING AND DESTROYING THE EARTH , SEA AND NATURE
And I saw another angel coming up from the east, carrying the seal of the living God.

AT THE SAME TIME ANOTHER ANGEL ARRIVED
HE COME FROM THE EAST (REVELATION)
WHAT WAS HE CARRYING?
HE WAS CARRYING THE SEAL OF THE LIVING GOD
WHY WAS HE CARRYING THE SEAL? WHAT DID IT SAY?

And he shouted to those four angels, who had been given power to harm land and sea, “

THIS ANGEL SHOUTED TO THE OTHER 4 ANGELS
WHAT WAS THE MESSAGE?

Wait! Don’t harm the land or the sea or the trees until we have placed the seal of God on the foreheads of his servants.”

THE SEAL OF GOD WAS TO BE PLACED ON THE FOREHEADS OF HIS CHILDREN BY THE ANGELS BEFORE HARMING THE LAND AND SEA

And I heard how many were marked with the seal of God—144,000 were sealed from all the tribes of Israel:

THE SEAL OF GOD WAS MARKED ON 144,000 FROM ALL TRIBES OF ISRAEL

12000×12 – 144000
72000*2 – 144000

After this I saw a vast crowd, too great to count, from every nation and tribe and people and language, standing in front of the throne and before the Lamb.

AFTER ALL THIS WHAT DID JOHN ALSO SEE?

THERE WAS A MULTITUDE OF PEOPLE BEFORE THE THRONE OF THE LAMB

They were clothed in white robes and held palm branches in their hands.

WHAT DID THIS CROWED HAD?
WHITE ROBES – WASHED BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB
PALM BRANCHES IN THEIR HANDS – WORKS OF FAITH FLOURISHED

“But the godly will flourish like palm trees and grow strong like the cedars of Lebanon. For they are transplanted to the Lord’s own house. They flourish in the courts of our God.” Psalms‬ ‭92:12-13‬ ‭NLT‬‬

And they were shouting with a great roar, “Salvation comes from our God who sits on the throne and from the Lamb!”

WHAT WERE THEY DOING ? SHOUTING – WHY?
SHOUTING WHAT?
SHOUTING WHAT THEY KNOW AND HAVE EXPERIENCE
ANGELICAL ANGELS DO NOT KNOW FOR THEY HAVE NOT BEEN REDEEMED – SO THE CANNOT SING AND SHOUT WHAT IS NOT TRUE IN THEIR LIVES
SALVATION – REDEMPTION THAT ONLY COMES FROM GOD AND THE FROM THE LAMB

And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living beings. And they fell before the throne with their faces to the ground and worshiped God.

WHAT WAS HEAVENS REACTION BEFORE GOD?
FELL BEFORE THE THRONE WITH FACES IN THE GROUND AND WORSHIPPED GID

They sang, “Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and strength belong to our God forever and ever! Amen.”

WHAT DID THEY SING? WHAT HAVE THEY SEEN AND EXPERIENCED?
THAT ALL BELONGS TO GOD FOREVER

Then one of the twenty-four elders asked me, “Who are these who are clothed in white?

WHO APPROACHED JOHN? WHAY DID HE ASK JOHN?
ONE OF THE 24 ELDERS WHO WANTED TO BRING AWARENESS TO JOHN ABOUT THOSE WHO WERE WASHED BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB WEARING WHITE ROBE

Where did they come from?” And I said to him, “Sir, you are the one who knows.”

JOHN REPLIED TO ONE OF THE 24 ELDERS THAT HE KNEW THE ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION

Then he said to me, “These are the ones who died in the great tribulation. They have washed their robes in the blood of the Lamb and made them white. “

THE ELDER BROUGHT REVELATION TO JOHN ABOUT THESE PEOPLE – THESE WENT THROUGH THE GREAT TRIBULATION – HAD THEIR ROBES WASHED IN THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB TO MAKE IT WHITE

That is why they stand in front of God’s throne and serve him day and night in his Temple.

WHERE ARE THESE PEOPLE? WHAT DO THEY DO?
AS PRIESTS THEY STAND BEFORE THE THRONE AND SERVE HIM DAY AND NIGHT

And he who sits on the throne will give them shelter.

WHAT WILL GOD TO THESE BEFORE HIM?
GIVE THEM SHELTER – REFUGE IN HIS PRESENCE THROUGH THE LAMB WHO IS THEIR SHEPHERD

They will never again be hungry or thirsty; they will never be scorched by the heat of the sun.

IN GOD’S PRESENCE THEY WILL NEVER AGAIN BE HUNGRY OR THIRSTY
JESUS IS ENOUGH FOR HE IS THE LIVING WATER

For the Lamb on the throne will be their Shepherd. He will lead them to springs of life-giving water. And God will wipe every tear from their eyes.””

THEY BELONG TO THE LAMB WHO IS THEIR SHEPHERD
THE LAMB WILL LEAD THE TO THEM SPRINGS OF LIFE GIVING WATER

GOD IS THE ONE WHO WILL WIPE EVERY TEARS FROM THEIR EYE – OF ALL THAT WAS LOST NOT DONE NOT ACHIEVED ETC

‭‭Revelation‬ ‭7:1-17‬ ‭
———————————————

CHAPTER 8
The
JESUS BREAKS THE SEVENTH SEAL

“When the Lamb broke the seventh seal on the scroll, there was silence throughout heaven for about half an hour.

WHY WAS THERE SILENCE IN HEAVEN FOR 30 MIN ?
NUMBER 30 – time associated with mourning and sorrow.

WHERE IS THE WORSHIP AND PRAISE?
SOMETHING VERY SIGNIFICANT WAS RELEASED
JUSTICE AND MERCY HAS FINALLY ARRIVED WITH ANSWERS FROM THE SAINTS
TIME HAS COME WHEN WRATH OF GOD WAS BEING RELEASED

ALL CREATION WAS IN OW OF SOMETHING OLD (NATURAL CREATION ) BEING BEING WRAPED UP GIVING PLACE TO GODS NEW CREATION WITH HEAVEN AND EARTH TOGETHER

Then another angel with a gold incense burner came and stood at the altar.

WHAT DID THIS ANGEL HAVE IN HIS HANDS? INCENSE BURNER
WHERE WAS HE? AT THE ALTAE READY TO EXECUTE

And a great amount of incense was given to him to mix with the prayers of God’s people as an offering on the gold altar before the throne.

HE RECEIVED A GREAT AMOUNT (NOT LITTLE) OF INCENSE MIXED THE PRAYERS OF THE SAINTS
WHY DID HE RECEIVE SUCH AMOUNT? CENTURIES OF PRAYERS AND GOD’s PATIENCE

THE INCENSE WAS FULL READY TO BE OFFERED

The smoke of the incense, mixed with the prayers of God’s holy people, ascended up to God from the altar where the angel had poured them out.

WHAT REACHED GOD ON THE THRONE?
SMOKE OF THE INCENSE – IT WAS BURNED AND OFFERED IN WORSHIP AND SURRENDER OF THE SAINTS
IT WAS PLEASING TO GOD THE COMMITMENT AND LOVE OF THE SAINTS IN PRAYER

Then the angel filled the incense burner with fire from the altar and threw it down upon the earth; and thunder crashed, lightning flashed, and there was a terrible earthquake.

WHAT DID THE ANGEL DO? HE GOT FIRE FROM THE ALTAR FILLED THE INCENSE BURNER WITH IT
WHERE DID HE THROW THE HOLY FIRE OF JUSTICE AND MERCY?
TO THE EARTH

WHY THE EARTH? FROM WHERE THE PRAYERS OF THE SAINTS ORIGINATED
GODS FIRST CREATION READY TO BE DESTROYED 1/3
WHY 1/3?

STILL GIVE OPPORTUNITY FOR THE REST OF HUMANITY TO REPENT AND GO TO GOD

Then the seven angels with the seven trumpets prepared to blow their mighty blasts.

AFTER THE FIRE WAS POUR OUT ON THE EARTH
7 ANGELS WERE READY TO BLOW THE TRUMPET – SOUND OF REVELATION

FIRST 5 TRUMPET FOCUSED ON CREATION EARTH DESTRUCTION (1/3)

LAST 3 TRUMPETS FOCUSED ON ALL HUMAN BEINGS (EXCEPT THOSE WITH THE MARK OF GOD IN THEIR HEADS) TORTURE AND DESTRUCTION

The first angel blew his trumpet, and hail and fire mixed with blood were thrown down on the earth. One-third of the earth was set on fire, one-third of the trees were burned, and all the green grass was burned.

FIRST TRUMPET – HAIL MIXED WITH BLOOD –
1 /3 WAS ON FIRE
1/3 NATURE WAS BURNED

Then the second angel blew his trumpet, and a great mountain of fire was thrown into the sea. One-third of the water in the sea became blood, one-third of all things living in the sea died, and one-third of all the ships on the sea were destroyed.

SECOND TRUMPET – HUGE ROCK OF FIRE – ERUPTION FELL ON OCEAN
1/3 OF THE WATER OF THE OCEAN BECAME BLOOD
1/3 OF LIVING CREATIONS OF THE SEA DIED
1/3 OF SHIPS WERE DESTROYED (MANY SHIPS IN THE FUTURE)

Then the third angel blew his trumpet, and a great star fell from the sky, burning like a torch. It fell on one-third of the rivers and on the springs of water. The name of the star was Bitterness. It made one-third of the water bitter, and many people died from drinking the bitter water.

THIRD TRUMPET – GREAT STAR BITTERNESS FELL FROM SKY ON FIRE
IT FELL ON THE SPRINGS OF WATER – AMAZON – NILE AREA
1/3 FRESH WATER GONE – MANY DEATHS

Then the fourth angel blew his trumpet, and one-third of the sun was struck, and one-third of the moon, and one-third of the stars, and they became dark. And one-third of the day was dark, and also one-third of the night.

FORTH TRUMPET – SUN WAS HIT BY ANOTHER SYSTEM THAT APPROACHED
SUN, MOON AND STARS BECAME DARK
1/3 OF THE DAY WAS DARK

Then I looked, and I heard a single eagle crying loudly as it flew through the air, “Terror, terror, terror to all who belong to this world because of what will happen when the last three angels blow their trumpets.””

SINGLE EAGLE – WHY? DOING WHAT?
EAGLE CAN SEE VERY FAR

FLYING IN THE AIR CRYING OUT – TERROR TO THOSE WHO BELONG TO THIS WORLD FOR THE LAST 3 TRUMPET WILL UNLEASH

‭‭Revelation‬ ‭8:1, 3-13‬ ‭

——————————————
CHAPTER 9

THE LAST 3 TRUMPET FOCUSED ON HUMAN BEINGS SUFFERING AND DESTRUCTION

“Then the fifth angel blew his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen to earth from the sky, and he was given the key to the shaft of the bottomless pit.

FITH TRUMPET – LOCUSTS DEMONS APPEARED – LOOKED LIKE HUMAN FACES, HAIR LIKE WOMAN AND TEETH LIKE LIONS – THEY HAD POWER TO STING LIKE SCORPIONS NOT TO KILL – THEY TORTURED FOR 5 MONTHS

When he opened it, smoke poured out as though from a huge furnace, and the sunlight and air turned dark from the smoke. Then locusts came from the smoke and descended on the earth, and they were given power to sting like scorpions.

They were told not to harm the grass or plants or trees, but only the people who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads. They were told not to kill them but to torture them for five months with pain like the pain of a scorpion sting.

In those days people will seek death but will not find it.

PEOPLE WILL TRY TO FIND DEATH BUT THEY WILL NOT FIND IT

They will long to die, but death will flee from them!

The locusts looked like horses prepared for battle. They had what looked like gold crowns on their heads, and their faces looked like human faces. They had hair like women’s hair and teeth like the teeth of a lion. They wore armor made of iron, and their wings roared like an army of chariots rushing into battle. They had tails that stung like scorpions, and for five months they had the power to torment people.

WHO IS THE KING OF THESE DEMONS? SATAN

Their king is the angel from the bottomless pit; his name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek, Apollyon —the Destroyer. The first terror is past, but look, two more terrors are coming!

SIXTH TRUMPET – 4 ANGELS WITH AN ARMY OF 200 MILLION RELEASED TO KILL 1/3 OF HUMAN BEINGS – CASE HUMANITY REACH 8 BILLION 2.6 BILLION ARE GONE

Then the sixth angel blew his trumpet, and I heard a voice speaking from the four horns of the gold altar that stands in the presence of God. And the voice said to the sixth angel who held the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound at the great Euphrates River.” Then the four angels who had been prepared for this hour and day and month and year were turned loose to kill one-third of all the people on earth. I heard the size of their army, which was 200 million mounted troops.

WHAT DID JOHN SEE?

And in my vision, I saw the horses and the riders sitting on them. The riders wore armor that was fiery red and dark blue and yellow. The horses had heads like lions, and fire and smoke and burning sulfur billowed from their mouths.

One-third of all the people on earth were killed by these three plagues—by the fire and smoke and burning sulfur that came from the mouths of the horses.

Their power was in their mouths and in their tails. For their tails had heads like snakes, with the power to injure people.

WHERE WERE THEIR POWERS LOCATED?

MOUTHS
TAILS LIKE SNKES

AFTER ALL THIS DESTRUCTION AND DEATH, WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE SURVIVERS? NO REPENTANCE OF THEIR EVIL DEEDS – CONTINUED WORSHIPPING DEMONS AND IDOLS

But the people who did not die in these plagues still refused to repent of their evil deeds and turn to God. They continued to worship demons and idols made of gold, silver, bronze, stone, and wood—idols that can neither see nor hear nor walk! And they did not repent of their murders or their witchcraft or their sexual immorality or their thefts.”

‭‭Revelation‬ ‭9:1-21‬ ‭NLT‬‬

———————————–

CHAPTER 10

BEFORE THE SEVENTH TRUMPET BLOW

SMALL SCROW WAS GIVEN TO JOHN TO EAT

“Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven, surrounded by a cloud, with a rainbow over his head.

WHAT DID JOHN SEE THIS TIME? NOT JUST AN ANGEL, BUT ONE SURROUNDED BY A CLOUD WITH A RAINBOW OVER HIS HEAD

WHY BY A CLOUD? WHY WAS THER A RAINBOW OVER HIS HEAD?
ANGEL OF PEACE – NOT MORE DESTRUCTION BY WATER
NOAH SAY THE RAINBOW FIRST TIME ON THE CLOUDS – NO MORE WATER

His face shone like the sun, and his feet were like pillars of fire.

WHAT WAS THE APPEARANCE OF THIS ANGEL ?

HIS FACE SHONE LIKE THE SUN AND HIS FEET LIKE PILLARS OF FIRE

And in his hand was a small scroll that had been opened.

THERE WAS SOMETHING IN HIS HANDS TO BE GIVEN TO JOHN TO EAT – SMALL SCROW – WHY A SCROW? WORDS OF TRUTH WRITTEN

He stood with his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land.

WHERE WAS THIS ANGEL LOCATED? HE HAD AUTHORITY ON WATER AND LAND

And he gave a great shout like the roar of a lion.

EXPRESSION OF POWER AND AUTHORITY
WHAT DID HE SHOUT?

And when he shouted, the seven thunders answered.

WHEN SOUND WENT FORWARD – THE SEVEN THUNDERS ANSWERED
WHAT ARE THE SEVEN THUNDERS? WHAT DID THEY ANSWER?

When the seven thunders spoke, I was about to write.

But I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Keep secret what the seven thunders said, and do not write it down.”

JOHN HEARD A VOICE FROM HEAVEN TO KEEP A SECRET WHAT THE 7 THUNDERS REPLIED FROM THE SHOULT OF THE MIGHTY ANGEL
WHY KEEP A SECRET? IT WAS NOT TO BE REVEALED – ONLY JOHN KNEW

Then the angel I saw standing on the sea and on the land raised his right hand toward heaven.

WHAT DID THE ANGEL DO?
RAISED HIS RIGHT HAND TO HEAVEN TO SWORE AN OATH

He swore an oath in the name of the one who lives forever and ever, who created the heavens and everything in them, the earth and everything in it, and the sea and everything in it.

THE MIGHTY ANGEL OF AUTHORITY GIVEN FROM HEAVEN SWORE AN OATH TO THE NAME OF JESUS THAT LIVES FOREVER

WHAT WAS THE OATH? GODS MYSTERIOUS PLAN WILL HE FULFILLED AS HE ANNOUNCED IT TO HIS SERVANTS AND PROPHETS
He said, “There will be no more delay. When the seventh angel blows his trumpet, God’s mysterious plan will be fulfilled. It will happen just as he announced it to his servants the prophets.”

WHAT IS GODS MYSTERIOUS PLAN ? THE OLD WILL PASS THE NEW WILL APPEAR (NEW HEAVEN AND EARTH) WITH JESUS AND THOSE WHO BELONG TO HIM WILL REIN FOREVER

Then the voice from heaven spoke to me again: “Go and take the open scroll from the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land.”

WHAT DID JOHN HEAR THE SECOND TIME?
TO GO TO THE ANGEL WITH AUTHORITY TO TAKE THE OPEN SCROW

“So I went to the angel and told him to give me the small scroll.”

JOHN IN OBEDIENCE WENT AND SPOKE TO THE ANGEL TO GIVE THE SMALL SCROW

ANGEL REPLIED
Yes, take it and eat it,” he said. “It will be sweet as honey in your mouth, but it will turn sour in your stomach!”

So I took the small scroll from the hand of the angel, and I ate it! It was sweet in my mouth, but when I swallowed it, it turned sour in my stomach.

WHY WAS THE SCROW SWEET IN THE MOUTH, BUT SOUR IN THE STOMACH?
EZEKIEL 3:3

Then I was told, “You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, languages, and kings.””

JOHN NEEDS TO PROPHECY AND SPEAK THE TRUTH – SWEET AS IT GOES FORTH AND MANIFESTS, BUT AS TIME PASSES AND IT IS DIGESTED, COUNTER ATTACKS WILL OCCUR AND AFFLICTIONS IN THIS WORKD WILL TAKE PLACE
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭10:1-11‬ ‭NLT‬‬

—————————–
CHAPTER 11

AFTER JOHN ATE THE SMALL SCROW

FIRST TERROR

“Then I was given a measuring stick, and I was told, “Go and measure the Temple of God and the altar, and count the number of worshipers. But do not measure the outer courtyard, for it has been turned over to the nations. They will trample the holy city for 42 months.

WHAT WAS JOHN MEASURING AND WHY?
JOHN WAS MEASURING THE TEMPLE OF GOD AND THE ALTAR – PEOPLE OF GOD
COUNT THE NUMBER OF WORSHIPPERS –
WHY COUNT THE NUMBER OF WORSHIPPERS?
THE ONES THAT HAVE DIED IN THE LORD

PROTECTION, SEPARATION AND SAFETY OF PEOPLE OF GOD

BUT JOHN WAS TOLD NOT TO MEASURE THE COURTYARD – NOT TO SECURE THOSE PEOPLE FOR IT WAS GIVEN TO THEM THE NATIONS

HOW LONG WILL THE PEOPLE ON EARTH STEP AND KILL THE PEOPLE OF GOD ?
42 MONTHS – 3 YEARS AND 1/2

SECOND TERROR

And I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will be clothed in burlap and will prophesy during those 1,260 days.”

TWO WITNESSES WITH POWERS DURING THOSE 3 1/2 YEARS
DOING WHAT?
SPEAKING THE TRUTH, RIGHTEOUSNESS AND JUDGEMENTS OF GOD

These two prophets are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of all the earth.

WHAT WERE THEIR POWERS AS INSTRUMENTS OF GOD TO BRING JUDGEMENT

THEIR WORDS
POWER OVER NATURE THINGS

If anyone tries to harm them, fire flashes from their mouths and consumes their enemies. This is how anyone who tries to harm them must die. They have power to shut the sky so that no rain will fall for as long as they prophesy. And they have the power to turn the rivers and oceans into blood, and to strike the earth with every kind of plague as often as they wish.

WHO WERE THEY? MOSES AND ELIJAH?
WHAT WERE THEY SUPPOSED TO DO?
TO COMPLETE THEIR TESTIMONY – DECLARED AND DO ALL THAT GOD HAD ASSIGNED THEM TO DO

When they complete their testimony, the beast that comes up out of the bottomless pit will declare war against them, and he will conquer them and kill them.

AFTER THEY COMPLETE THEIR ASSIGNMENT – BEAST – SATAN INSTRUMENT HIMSELF WILL COME AND KILL THEM

And their bodies will lie in the main street of Jerusalem, the city that is figuratively called “Sodom” and “Egypt,” the city where their Lord was crucified.

THEIR DIED BODIES WILL LIE DOWN ON THE MAIN STREET OF JERUSALEM FOR 3 DAYS AND HALF

1 DAY IS LIKE 1 YEAR OR 1000 YEARS

And for three and a half days, all peoples, tribes, languages, and nations will stare at their bodies. No one will be allowed to bury them.

WHAT IS THE REACTION OF THE NATIONS? PEOPLE OF THIS WORLD?
THEY WILL STARE BUT NOT BE ABLE TO BURY THEM

All the people who belong to this world will gloat over them and give presents to each other to celebrate the death of the two prophets who had tormented them.

NATIONS WILL CELEBRATE THINKING THEY WON A BATTLE AGAINST THE 2 TESTIMONIES WHO SPEAK THE TRUTH ABOUT GOD AND HIS KINGDOM

“But after three and a half days, God breathed life into them, and they stood up! ”

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER 3 DAYS IN HALF?
GOD INTERVENE – BREATH LIFE INTO THEM AND THEY STAND UP

“Terror struck all who were staring at them. ”

PANIC AMONG THE NATIONS FOR DEATH CANNOT HOLD THEM DOWN

Then a loud voice from heaven called to the two prophets, “Come up here!” And they rose to heaven in a cloud as their enemies watched.

AFTER THEY STOOD UP, WHAT HAPPENS?

LOUD VOICE FROM HEAVEN CALLS THEM TO HEAVEN
PEOPLE SEE THE POWER OF GOD TAKING THOSE TWO INTO HEAVEN

At the same time there was a terrible earthquake that destroyed a tenth of the city.

WITH RESURRECTION THERE IS SHAKING TAKING PLACE – AS IT HAPPENED WITH JESUS
Seven thousand people died in that earthquake, and everyone else was terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.

The second terror is past, but look, the third terror is coming quickly.

THIRD TERROR

Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices shouting in heaven

“The world has now become the Kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he will reign forever and ever.”

WHAT TRUTH WAS HEAVEN DECLARING WITH THE 7th TRUMPET?

NOW AFTER THE 7th TRUMPET THE WORLD HAS BECOME THE KINGDOM OF OUR LORD WHO WILL REIGN FOREVER

The twenty-four elders sitting on their thrones before God fell with their faces to the ground and worshiped him.

WHAT WERE THE 24 ELDERS REACTION TO THIS FACT?
WORSHIP TO THE ONE WHO IS WORTHY

And they said,

WHAT DID THEY SAY? WHAT WAS THE TIME NOW?

“We give thanks to you, Lord God, the Almighty, the one who is and who always was, for now you have assumed your great power and have begun to reign.

The nations were filled with wrath, but now the time of your wrath has come.

It is time to judge the dead and reward your servants the prophets, as well as your holy people, and all who fear your name, from the least to the greatest.

It is time to destroy all who have caused destruction on the earth.”

TIME TO JESUS ASSUME POWER AND REIGN
TIME OF JESUS WRATH
TIME TO JUDGE THE DEAD
TIME TO REWARD SERVANTS AND GODS PEOPLE
TIME TO DESTROY ALL WHO CAUSED DESTRUCTION ON THE EARH

Then, in heaven, the Temple of God was opened and the Ark of his covenant could be seen inside the Temple. Lightning flashed, thunder crashed and roared, and there was an earthquake and a terrible hailstorm.”

WHAT HAPPEN IN HEAVEN?

THE TEMPLE OF GOD WAS OPENED
THE ARK OF HIS COVENANT WITH HIS PEOPLE COULD BE SEEN INSIDE
WHY?
IT COULD BE SEEN FOR THE LAMB OF GOD TEAR DOWN THE SEPARATION
THUNDER AND LIGHTNING TOOK PLACE

‭‭Revelation‬ ‭11:1-19‬ ‭NLT‬‬

————————————

CHAPTER 12

SATAN AND THE CHURCH – DURING 7 YEARS OS STRING PERSECUTION AND AFFLICTION

“Then I witnessed in heaven an event of great significance.

WHAT DID JOHN SEE THAT IT WAS SOO SIGNIFICANT

I saw a woman clothed with the sun,
with the moon beneath her feet, and a
crown of twelve stars on her head.

ISRAEL AND THE 12 TRIBES

CHURCH SHINING LIGHT
AUTHORITY TO REFLECT THE SUN
POSITION OF GOVERNANCE
She was pregnant, and she cried out because of her labor pains and the agony of giving birth.

JESUS CAME OUT OF ISRAEL AS THE SON OF MAN SON OF GOD

THE CHURCH INSIDE THE CHURCH – 5 VIRGINS WITH THEIR LAMP-STANDS
THE HUNGRY ONES COMING ALIVE
IN PAIN – DISCOMFORT DUE TO THE NEW BURNING ONES COMING OUT – THE REMANENT

Then I witnessed in heaven another significant event.

JOHN SAW A SECOND SIGNIFICANT VISION

I saw a large red dragon with seven heads and ten horns, with seven crowns on his heads.

SATAN WITH 7 NATIONS – WITH POSITION OF AUTHORITY WITH 10 DELEGATIONS
WHY RED? COVERED WITH THE BLOOD OF THE SAINTS – GUILTY OF MURDER

His tail swept away one-third of the stars in the sky, and he threw them to the earth.

1/3 OF FALLEN ANGELS FOLLOWED SATAN INFLUENCE AND HE SENT THESE DEMONS TO THE EARTH

He stood in front of the woman as she was about to give birth, ready to devour her baby as soon as it was born.

AS IT WAS WITH JESUS SO IT IS NOW AS SATAN DESIRES TO DESTROY THE BURNING ONES AS THEY MERGE OUT OF THE CHURCH

She gave birth to a son who was to rule all nations with an iron rod.

NATURAL ISRAEL GAVE BIRTH TO JESUS
SPIRITUAL ISRAEL WILL GIVE BIRTH BURNING ONES

JESUS THROUGH HIS BODY ON EARTH WILL RULE ALL NATIONS WITH IRON ROD

And her child was snatched away from the dragon and was caught up to God and to his throne.

THE BURNING ONES WILL BE RAPTURED BEFORE THE DRAGON CAN DO ANY HARM TO THEM

And the woman fled into the wilderness, where God had prepared a place to care for her for 1,260 days.

FOR 3 1/2 THE CHURCH GO INTO HIDING IN THE WILDERNESS – PLACE GOD PREPARED TO CARE FOR HER WHERE SATAN CANNOT TOUCH HER

Then there was war in heaven.

TIME ARRIVED FOR THE WAR OF AGES – WAR IN HEAVEN

Michael and his angels fought against the dragon and his angels.

GODS ANGELS FIGHT AGAINST THE DEMONS AND SATAN

And the dragon lost the battle, and he and his angels were forced out of heaven.

SATAN AND HIS FALLEN ANGELS HAD NO CHANCE – LOST THE BATTLE AND THEY WERE REMOVED FROM SECOND HEAVEN

This great dragon—the ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, the one deceiving the whole world—was thrown down to the earth with all his angels.

WHAT HAPPEN WITH SATAN? THROWN DOWN TO THE EARTH

Then I heard a loud voice shouting across the heavens, “It has come at last— salvation and power and the Kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ.

WHAT DID THE LOUD VOICE SAY IN HEAVEN?
TIME HAS COME :THROUGH JESUS RESURRECTION

SALVATION – BY THE BLOOD
POWER – BY THE HOLY SPIRIT
KINDOM OF GOD – INSIDE OF THE BELIEVER
AUTHORITY OF CHRIST – JESUS NAME

WHY?

JESUS DIED BUT WAS RESURRECTED – ALL POWER WAS GIVEN TO HIM

For the accuser of our brothers and sisters has been thrown down to earth— the one who accuses them before our God day and night.

THERE WAS NO MORE ACCUSER ON SECOND HEAVEN – HE WAS THROWN DOWN INTO THE EARTH

And they have defeated him by the blood of the Lamb and by their testimony. And they did not love their lives so much that they were afraid to die.

HOW DID THE SAINTS DEFEATED SATAN EVEN ON THE EARTH?

BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB – REDEMPTION AND FORGIVENESS
BY THE TESTIMONY OF LIFE – WHAT WAS CHANGED TO SPEAK ABOUT?
BY THEIR OWN DEATH – DID NOT LOVE THEIR LIVES SO MUCH NOT AFRAID TO DIE

HOW?

LOVE CONQUERED FEAR – ALL WHO KNOWS THE LOVE OF GOD DO NOT FEAR EVEN TO DEATH
GOD’s LOVE CASTS OUT ALL FEAR AWAY

Therefore, rejoice, O heavens! And you who live in the heavens, rejoice!

HEAVENS CAN REJOICE FOR JUSTICE AND MERCY REIGN
WHO LIVES IN HEAVEN? GODS CREATION FOR HEAVEN DWELLING

But terror will come on the earth and the sea, for the devil has come down to you in great anger, knowing that he has little time.”

WHERE IS TERROR COMING? TO EARTH AND SEA
WHY?

SATAN WAS DEFEATED AND CAST OUT OF THE 2 HEAVEN
HE KNOWS HIS TIME IS SHORT SO HE COMES WITH ANGER TO DESTROY HUMAN AND NATURE

When the dragon realized that he had been thrown down to the earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to the male child.

SATAN COMES AFTER THE CHURCH – CHILDREN OF GOD WHO ARE STILL ALIVE IN THE EARTH

OUT OF THE CHURCH THERE IS A BABY CHURCH – MALE CHILD THAT IS BORN
NEW GENERATION – NOT MATURE IN THE BEGINNING YET SINCE IT WAS BORN AS A CHILD – BUT GREW

But she was given two wings like those of a great eagle so she could fly to the place prepared for her in the wilderness.

NATURAL ISRAEL FINDS REFUGE IN US – EAGLE NATION

THE CHURCH FINDS A WAY TO SCAPE BY TWO WINGS OF AN EAGLE – US REFUGE? IT IS A PLACE PREPARED FOR HER IN THE WILDERNESS

There she would be cared for and protected from the dragon for a time, times, and half a time.

THE CHURCH WILL BE CARED AND PROTECTED AGAINST SATAN FOR 3 YEARS IN A HALF

Then the dragon tried to drown the woman with a flood of water that flowed from his mouth.

SATAN WILL TRY TO DESTROY THE PEOPLE OF GOD BY WATER – TUSINAMI?

WHAT COMES OUT OF SATAN’s MOUTH IF NOT LIES AND DECEIT?

FLOOD OF LIES AGAINST GODS PEOPLE?

But the earth helped her by opening its mouth and swallowing the river that gushed out from the mouth of the dragon.

THE PEOPLE ON EARTH WILL NOT ALLOW THE LIES TO CONTINUE
BUT THE EARTH WILL BE SHAKEN WITH AN EARTHQUAKE THAT WILL OPEN THE GROUND AND SWALLOW THE WATERS BEFORE IT REACHES PEOPLE OF GOD

And the dragon was angry at the woman and declared war against the rest of her children—

SATAN DECLARES TOTAL WAR AGAINST THE REMANT IN OTHER LOCATIONS

all who keep God’s commandments and maintain their testimony for Jesus.

THESE ARE BELIEVERS (NOT NATURAL ISRAEL) WHO KEPT GODS COMMANDMENTS AND KEPT THEIR TESTIMONY OF CHRIST – MANY WERE KILLED

Then the dragon took his stand on the shore beside the sea.”

THE SATAN POSITION HIMSELF AS THE RULER OF THIS WORLD

‭‭Revelation‬ ‭12:1-18‬ ‭NLT‬‬

CHAPTER 13

BEAST OUT OF THE SEA

HOLY PEOPLE OUT OF THE PEOPLE

“Then I saw a beast rising up out of the sea. It had seven heads and ten horns, with ten crowns on its horns. And written on each head were names that blasphemed God.

WHO IS THIS BEAST? – GOVERNMENT SYSTEM – 10 NATIONS NATO

WHAT WAS ITS APPEARANCE?

This beast looked like a leopard,

GREEK PHILOSOPHY – HUMANISTIC

but it had the feet of a bear
RUSSIA CONQUESTS ON EUROPE – NO MERCY OR COMPASSION

and the mouth of a lion!
INTIMIDATION AND FEAR

And the dragon gave the beast his own power and throne and great authority.

WHAT DID SATAN DO? SINCE HE IS A FALLEN ANGEL – HE GAVE HIS POWER TO THIS BEAST – HE NEEDS A BODY TO OPERATE

I saw that one of the heads of the beast seemed wounded beyond recovery—but the fatal wound was healed!

ONE OF THE NATION-RULER GOT A BLOW FROM RESISTANCE AND IT WAS ALMOST DESTROYED BUT IT RECOVERED

The whole world marveled at this miracle and gave allegiance to the beast.

PEOPLE SAW THE RECOVERY (POWER RECOVERY) AND THEY WERE AMAZED

They worshiped the dragon for giving the beast such power, and they also worshiped the beast. “

PEOPLE NEED TO WORSHIP SOMETHING – OF VALUE AND TIME FOR THEM
PEOPLE WORSHIP SATAN AND THE SYSTEM – GOVERNANCE

Who is as great as the beast?” they exclaimed. “Who is able to fight against him?”

PEOPLE WOULD SAY WHO CAN GO AGAINST THIS RULER-SYSTEM

Then the beast was allowed to speak great blasphemies against God. And he was given authority to do whatever he wanted for forty-two months.

BEAST SPOKE OF FOOLISHNESS AND DECEIT AGAINST GOD AND CREATION
FOR 3 YEARS IN A HALF HE HAD AUTHORITY TO DO WHATEVER HE WISHES BACKED OUT BY SATAN POWER

And he spoke terrible words of blasphemy against God, slandering his name and his dwelling—that is, those who dwell in heaven.

And the beast was allowed to wage war against God’s holy people and to conquer them.

THIS GOVERNANCE WAS ALLOWED TO WAGE WAR AGAINST GODS PEOPLE AND KILL THEM

And he was given authority to rule over every tribe and people and language and nation. And all the people who belong to this world worshiped the beast.

THE AUTHORITY WAS GIVEN BY SATAN RULER OF THIS WORLD

They are the ones whose names were not written in the Book of Life that belongs to the Lamb who was slaughtered before the world was made.

WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE WHO WORSHIP SATAN AND HIS WORKS?

PEOPLE OF THIS WORLD WHOSE NAMES WERE NOT FOUND IN THE BOOK OF LIFE THAT BELONGS TO JESUS – HE WAS ALREADY SLAUGHTERED BEFORE THE WORLD WAS MADE – NO PAST OR FUTURE

Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand.

EVERY BELIEVER MUST HAVE EARS THAT MUST CAPTURE THE TRUTH AND RECOGNIZE THE SEVERATY

WHY?

Anyone who is destined for prison will be taken to prison. Anyone destined to die by the sword will die by the sword.

EVERY BORN AGAIN WILL HAVE THEIR OWN DESTINY – PRISON OR DIE

This means that God’s holy people must endure persecution patiently and remain faithful.

OUT OF 7 YEARS OF SATAN REIGN GODS PEOPLE ON THAT TIME (3 1/2 YEARS) WILL SUFFER –

THE RAPTURE WILL BE IN THE MIDTS OF SUFFERING)

SO WHAT SHOULD THEY DO LIVING OR DIEING?

– THEY MUST ENDURE
To tolerate or put up with something unpleasant.. To remain firm, as under trial or suffering; ).
ENDURE WHAT?
PERSECUTION – INJUSTICE

HOW? PATIENTLY (FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT)
– AND REMAIN FAITHFUL

HOW? CAST ALL FEAR, HATE AND JUDGMENTAL SPIRIT EVEN OF DEATH REMAINING ON THE 3 ELEMENTS OF LIFE

“And now there remain: faith [abiding trust in God and His promises], hope [confident expectation of eternal salvation], love [unselfish love for others growing out of God’s love for me], these three [the choicest graces]; but the greatest of these is love.”
‭‭1 CORINTHIANS‬ ‭13:13‬ ‭AMP‬‬

Then I saw another beast come up out of the earth.

WHAT DID JOHN SEE EVEN MORE?

He had two horns like those of a lamb, but he spoke with the voice of a dragon. He exercised all the authority of the first beast.

THE LEADERSHIP AND APPEARANCE WAS LIKE THE LAMB
RELIGIOUS SPIRIT WITH THE LIES OF SATAN AND HIS AUTHORITY
IT HAS THE APPEARANCE OF A SHEEP BUT IT IS A WOLF BEHIND SOCIAL WORKS, etc

And he required all the earth and its people to worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed.

RELIGIOUS SPIRIT ORDERING PEOPLE TO GIVE IN – WORSHIP THE SYSTEM – GOVERNANCE OF THE FIRST BEAST
RELIGIOUS SPIRIT REMOVES THE WORSHIP DEDICATION EFFORT TO JESUS TO ITS OWN

He did astounding miracles, even making fire flash down to earth from the sky while everyone was watching.

RELIGIOUS SPIRIT WITH POWER FROM SATAN OF MAKING FIRE FLASH DOWN ON EARTH – WHO WOULD NOT BE DECEIVED EXCEPT THOSE WHO LIVE AND WALK IN THE SPIRIT IN AGREEMENT WITH SPIRIT AND WORD Of GOD?

And with all the miracles he was allowed to perform on behalf of the first beast, he deceived all the people who belong to this world.

NOT ONLY A FEW WERE DECEIVED BUT ALL THE PEOPLE OF THE EARTH WERE DECEIVED – EXCEPT THE BORN AGAIN WHO WAS SUFFERING PERSECUTION

He ordered the people to make a great statue of the first beast, who was fatally wounded and then came back to life.

POWER OF SATAN IN OPERATION
WHAT DID HE DO?
WHAT IS HE CRAZY ABOUT?
GODS CREATION TO WORSHIP HIM

He was then permitted to give life to this statue so that it could speak.

FIRST TIME A STATUE ABLE TO SPEAK – WITCHCRAFT – SATAN HIMSELF
WHO GAVE PERMITION? GOD ALLOWED THIS WITCHCRAFT TO MANIFEST EXPOSING CLEARLY THE EVIL WORKS OF THE ENEMY GIVING PEOPLE THE OPTION TO CHOOSE BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH – GOD OR NO GOD

Then the statue of the beast commanded that anyone refusing to worship it must die.

WHAT DID THE STATUE ORDER?

DEARH TO ALL WHO DID NOT WORSHIP SATAN

WHAT IT IS LIFE WITHOUT ETERNAL LIFE WITH GOD?

IS THERE A CHANCE TO EVEN THINK THAT WORSHIPPING THE STATUE BY SAVING THIS LIFE (EVERYONE WILL DIE SOMEDAY) WOULD BE BY ANY CHANCE MORE PROFITABLE,OR BETTER THAN BEING WITH JESUS IN THE ETERNITY?

JESUS PROMISED AFTER RESURRECTION THAT HE WOULD GO TO THE FATHER TO PREPARE A PLACE FOR HIS OWN – SO WHY THE CONCERN OF DIEING FOR CHRIST WITH ATHE ASSURANCE OF A PLACE WITH HIM WAITING FOR THE SAINTS TO ARRIVE? ONLY IF SOMEONE BELIEVES IN SATAN LIES THAT ETERNITY DOES NOT EXIST AND THAT GOD DOES NOT EXISTS

He required everyone—small and great, rich and poor, free and slave—to be given a mark on the right hand or on the forehead.

WHAT WAS THE REQUIREMENT TO ALL PEOPLE?
SATAN MARKS THE HUMAN FLESH AS HIS
BELIEVERS CARRIES THE MARKS OF THE SUFFERING FOR CHRIST
WHICH MARK DO YOU WANT? THERE IS NO OPTION – WAY OUT

And no one could buy or sell anything without that mark, which was either the name of the beast or the number representing his name.

SURVIVAL WILL BE HARD BUT THE LORD TAKES CARE OF HIS OWN- AND IF TIME COMES TO DIE TO BE WITH HIM – WHAT A PRIVILEDGE!!!!!!WHAT A JOY!!!!

WORLD FINANCIAL MARKETS CONTROLLED BY THE MARK – SATAN OR 666

Wisdom is needed here. Let the one with understanding solve the meaning of the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. His number is 666.”

‭‭Revelation‬ ‭13:1-18‬ ‭NLT‬‬

CHAPTER 14

WHAT DID JOHN SEE AFTER CORRUPTED WORLD WAS WORSHIPPING SATAN?

“Then I saw the Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with him were 144,000 who had his name and his Father’s name written on their foreheads.

JESUS AND 144000 REDEEMED ONES WITH JESUS AND THE FATHERS NAMES ON THEIR FOREHEADS

WHERE WERE THEY?
MOUNT ZION MEANING – Kingdom of God

The word “mount” is simply a shortened meaning of mountain and mountains often refer to governments or nations but often is referred to in Scripture as “the mountain of the Lord, to the Rock of Israel” (Isaiah 30:29b). In the case of Mount Zion it is representative of the Kingdom of God where we read in Hebrews 12:22 that “you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable angels in festal gathering.” That is where it is said “the assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and to God, the judge of all” (Heb 12:23) will be at and it looks ahead to the New Jerusalem that will descend

WHY ON THE FOREHEADS?
THESE ARE THE ONES WHO HAD THE MIND OF CHRIST AND DID NOT ACCEPT THE MARK OF SATAN ON THEM

And I heard a sound from heaven like the roar of mighty ocean waves or the rolling of loud thunder.

SOUND OF MIGHTY WAVES

It was like the sound of many harpists playing together.

WHERE DID THE SOUND COME FROM?
HARPS OF MANY – GIANT BAND
This great choir sang a wonderful new song in front of the throne of God and before the four living beings and the twenty-four elders.

THE LARGE CHOIR WERE REDEEMED AND THEY HAD A NEW SONG
ANGELS ARE NOT REDEEMED SO THEY DID NOT KNOW THE NEW SONG
No one could learn this song except the 144,000 who had been redeemed from the earth.

WHO WERE THEY AND WHY 144000?

REPRESENTATION OF THOSE SAVED BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB

WHAT DID THEY TO BE CHISEN?

They have kept themselves as pure as virgins, following the Lamb wherever he goes.

EVEN IN MIDST OF GREAT PERSECUTION, THESE 144000
KEPT THE LIVES PURE AND IN RIGHTEOUSNESS
FOLLED JESUS WHEREVER HE WENT

They have been purchased from among the people on the earth as a special offering to God and to the Lamb.

THESE WERE SPECIAL OFFERING PEOPLE BOUGHT BY THE LAMB – BURNING ONES

They have told no lies; they are without blame.

HOW DID THEY WITHHOLD WITHOUT BLAME? WHAT MADE THEM BLAMELESS? SATAN LIES HAD NO PART ON THIS GROUP
THEY SPOKE THE TRUTH IN LOVE – THIS IS WHAT THEY HAD INSIDE AND OVERFLOWED FROM THEIR HEART.
THEY DID NOT WALK OR SPEAK LIES – THEY DID NOT AGREE OR GAVE IN INTO SATANS LIES AND DECEIT
SATAN IS THE FATHER OF LIES AND DECEIT

,The [intrinsically] good man produces what is good and honorable and moral out of the good treasure [stored] in his heart; and the [intrinsically] evil man produces what is wicked and depraved out of the evil [in his heart]; for his mouth speaks from the overflow of his heart. “LUKE 6:45

And I saw another angel flying through the sky, carrying the eternal Good News to proclaim to the people who belong to this world—to every nation, tribe, language, and people. “

WHAT DID JOHN SEE THIS TIME? ANOTHER ANGEL WHO WAS SHOULTING? SHOUTING WHAT? WHAT WAS HE CARRYING ?
SOMETHING ETERNAL – GOOD NEWS TO PROCLAIM TO THE PEOPLE OF THIS WORLD – NATIONS

WHAT DID HE SHOULT?

Fear God,” he shouted. “Give glory to him. For the time has come when he will sit as judge. Worship him who made the heavens, the earth, the sea, and all the springs of water.”

ABOVE ALL FEAR GOD – HOW?
GIVE HIM GLORY HONOR AND PRAISE – WORSHIP – OBEY THE ONLY TRUE GOD
WHAT ELSE DID THE ANGEL SAY?

THE TIME OF JUDGEMENT HAS ARRIVED
JUDGEMENTS WHERE? WHAT WILL BE AFFECTED? ON HIS CREATION
HEAVENS, EARTH THE SEA AND ALL THE SPRINGS OF WATER

WHAT ELSE DID JOHN SEE – ANOTHER ANGEL- WHY?
EACH ONES HAS AN ASSIGNMENT AND DELIVERS THE MESSAGE THAT HAS RECEIVED – IT IS DYNAMIC IN ROTATION AS EACH ONES RECEIVES THE MESSAGE

Then another angel followed him through the sky, shouting, “Babylon is fallen—that great city is fallen—because she made all the nations of the world drink the wine of her passionate immorality.”

ONE DECLARES TO FEAR GOD AND THAT THE JUDGMENT HAS ARRIVED
THE OTHER COMES ALONG AND DECLARES WHAT IS THE INITIAL JUDGEMENT IS ABOUT
THAT THE GREAT CITY- PEOPLE UNDER SATAN GOVERNMENT – RULE AMONG THE SOULS OF HIS DOMAIN

THEN A THIRD ANGELS ARRIVED – HEAVEN ROTATION

Then a third angel followed them, shouting, “Anyone who worships the beast and his statue or who accepts his mark on the forehead or on the hand must drink the wine of God’s anger.

WHO MUST DRINK THE WINE OF GODS ANGER? WHO WILL BE AFFECTED BY GODS JUDGEMENTS?
WORSHIPPERS OF THE BEAST AND STATURE
HUMAN BEINGS WORSHIP – GIVES ATTENTION, DEVOTION AND AFFECTION AND EVEN FOLLOWS AND OBEY
GOD
OR THINGS THAT ARE NOT GOD – SINFUL DESIRES OF THE FLESH – FALLEN ADAM NATURE

IT IS A CHOICE TO WHOM TO WORSHIP FOLLOW AND OBEY –

“It has been poured full strength into God’s cup of wrath. ”
IT IS FULL JUDGEMENT OF ANGER OF GOD

And they will be tormented with fire and burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and the Lamb.

The smoke of their torment will rise forever and ever, and they will have no relief day or night, for they have worshiped the beast and his statue and have accepted the mark of his name.”

THIS ANGEL HAS GREATER AND DEEPER REVELATION OF THE FALLEN CITY AND ITS JUDGMENTS
WHO WILL BE SUFFERING FOR ALL ETERNITY?
FROM WHOM IS THE SMOKE OF THEIR TORMENT?
WHAT DID THESE PEOPLE DO TO SUFFER ETERNALY?

THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO WORSHIP BUT NOT THE ONLY TRUE GOD
THESE ARE THOSE WHO WALKED AND AGRED WITH THE LIES OF SATAN
THESE ARE THE ONES WHO REJECTED GOD, HOLY SPIRIT AND HIS SON
THESE ARE THOSE WHO MADE A CHOICE TO LIFE AN EVIL LIE AND DECEIT

“This means that God’s holy people must endure persecution patiently, obeying his commands and maintaining their faith in Jesus. ”

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN TO THE PEOPLE OF GOD? WHAT DOES THIS MEAN TO THE LAST GENERATION OF BELIEVERS?
WILL THEY BE PERSECUTED DURING SUCH TIMES? IS THIS DURING THE 7 YEARS OF THE ANTI- CHRIST OR JUST 3 1/2 YEARS OUT OF THE 7 YEARS?
WHAT ABOUT THE RUPTURE?
IT WILL MAKE NO DIFFERENCE FOR THOSE WHO ARE READY TO DIE FOR THEIR FAITH – ONLY THE UNPREPARED IS ANXIOUS AND WORRIES

THE SCRIPTURES DO NOT SAY EXACTLY EXCEPT THAT BELIEVERS WILL BE IN THE GREAT TRIBULATION

IF THAT IS THE CASE WHAT MUST SUCH BELIEVERS DO?
MUST ENDURE PERSECUTION PATIENTLY

HOW?
BY KEEPING AND OBEYING THE WORD
AND MAINTAINING THE FAITH IN JESUS

GREAT TRIBULATION – ACCORDING TO RICHARD DEEM
“Christians will go through the Great Tribulation. Since much of the Church believes God will deliver them prior to the Great Tribulation, many believers will be surprised when they find themselves being persecuted and killed for their faith. Their faith will be severely tested, since they may believe that God has abandoned them and that the prophecies of the rapture are not true. Under such circumstances, most believers will fall away and deny their faith to save their lives. Jesus, in fact, made just such a prophecy:
“And at that time many will fall away and will deliver up one another and hate one another…. “But the one who endures to the end, he shall be saved. (Matthew 24:10, 13)
If you are a Christian, be prepared to die for your faith. Even your fellow “brothers” will deliver you to the authorities to avoid their own deaths. If you are not willing to die for what you believe, you will deny your faith when threatened with death. Be aware of what Jesus said about those who seek to save their lives:
For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will find it. (Matthew 16:25)
Many Christians are looking forward to the return of Christ, which will, indeed, be a glorious event. However, the time just preceding the end will not be pleasant for Christians. The watchful Christian should be prepared to join his fellow brothers under the alter of souls of those who will die “because of the testimony which they had maintained.”

AFTER THIS JOHN HEARD ANOTHER VOICE –
THIS TIME THE VOICE WAS SPECIFIC FOR HIM TO WRITE SOMETHING SPECIFIC

And I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Write this down:

WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO WRITE?

Blessed are those who die in the Lord from now on.

FROM THAT MOMENT OF GREAT TRIBULATION – THEY ARE BLESSED BY DYING IN THE LORD

Yes, says the Spirit, they are blessed indeed, for they will rest from their hard work; for their good deeds follow them!”

THERE IS CONFIRMATION FROM THE HOLY SPIRIT!!!
THEY ARE BLESSED
THEY WILL REST FROM THEIR HARD WORK – IT IS NOT EASY WORK
THEIR DEEDS WILL FOLLOW THEM

Then I saw a white cloud, and seated on the cloud was someone like the Son of Man.

AFTER THIS CONFIRMATION – JOHN SAW JESUS SEATED ON THE CLOUD
SEATED FOR HE REIGNS FOREVER

He had a gold crown on his head and a sharp sickle in his hand.

WHAT DID JESUS HAVE?
CROWN OF GOLD – PURE AND RIGHTFUL REIGN – REIGNING ALREADY
SHARP SICKLE –
“a short-handled farming tool with a semicircular blade, used for cutting grain, lopping, or trimming.”

WHY A SHARP SICKLE?

READY FOR THE HARVEST – READY FOR GATHERING HIS OWN
WOULD THIS BE THE RAPTURE?

Then another angel came from the Temple and shouted to the one sitting on the cloud, “Swing the sickle, for the time of harvest has come; the crop on earth is ripe.”

THE OTHER ANGEL WHO CAME FROM THE PRESENCE OF GOD TO SAY THE TIME HAS COME. THE SON NEITHER THE ANGEL KNOW THE TIME AND HOUR FOR THE HARVEST OF HUMANITY AND ALL CREATION

So the one sitting on the cloud swung his sickle over the earth, and the whole earth was harvested.

JESUS SWUNG OVER THE EARTH ONCE – IT WAS DONE
HIS ACTION WAS TO COLLECT THOSE WHO BELING TO HIM

Matthew 25:31–46: “But when the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then he will sit on the throne of his glory. Before him all the nations will be gathered, and he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.

After that, another angel came from the Temple in heaven, and he also had a sharp sickle. Then another angel, who had power to destroy with fire, came from the altar.

BESIDES JESUS THERE WAS ANOTHER ANGEL WITH A SHARP SICKLE ALSO READY FOR THE HARVEST
AND THE ANGEL WITH SPECIFIC POWER – TO DESTROY WITH FIRE COME FROM THE ALTAR.

He shouted to the angel with the sharp sickle, “Swing your sickle now to gather the clusters of grapes from the vines of the earth, for they are ripe for judgment.”

THIS ANGEL SWUNG TO GATHER ALL READY FOR GODS JUDGEMENT OF HIS WRATH

So the angel swung his sickle over the earth and loaded the grapes into the great winepress of God’s wrath. The grapes were trampled in the winepress outside the city, and blood flowed from the winepress in a stream about 180 miles long and as high as a horse’s bridle.”

DESTRUCTION OF MANY AGAINST GOD – THEIR BODIES MELTED AS THEIR BLOOD RAN ALL OVER

‭‭Revelation‬ ‭14:1-20‬ ‭NLT‬‬

—————————————————————-

CHAPTER 15

AFTER ALL THIS HARVEST AND JUDGEMENT
WHAT DID JOHN SEE IN HEAVEN?

“Then I saw in heaven another marvelous event of great significance.

IT WAS AN EVENT OF GREAR SIGNIFICANCE

Seven angels were holding the seven last plagues, which would bring God’s wrath to completion.

IT WAS TIME FOR GODS WRATH ON EARTH COMPLETION – THERE ARE NO CREATION SURVIVORS IN GODS PLAN

SEVEN ANGELS – COMPLETE WORK HOLDING 7 LAST PLAGUES

I saw before me what seemed to be a glass sea mixed with fire. And on it stood all the people who had been victorious over the beast and his statue and the number representing his name.

THESE ARE THE MULTITUDE OF BURNING ONES ON FIRE FOR JESUS VICTORIOUS
THEY WERE VICTORIOUS FOR –
THEY ENDURED PERSECUTION PATIENTLY – DID NOT GIVE IN TO THE TRICKS OF THE ENEMY TO WORSHIP HIM
THEY OBEYED THE WORD OF GOD UNTIL THE END
THEY KEPT THEIR FAITH IN JESUS
HOW? 12:11

THEY CONQUERED BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMP – PEICE WAS PAID FOR THEM AND THEY BELIEVED AND ACCEPTED JESUS AS THE ATONEMENT FOR THEIR SINS
BY THE WORD OF THEIR TESTIMONY – THEY FEED AND LIVED BY FAITH
THEY DID NOT LOVE THEIR LIVES EVEN TO DEARH – THEIR LOVE AND AFFECTION WAS JESUS ALONE ABOVE THEIR LIVES

They were all holding harps that God had given them.

WHAT WERE THE SAINTS HOLDING? JUST LIKE 24 ELDERS THEY WERE HOLDING HARPA GIVEN BY GOD?

WHY? WHAT DOES THE HARP STAND FOR?
SOUND – MUSIC – NEW SONG FROM THE REDEEMER

WHAT WERE THEY SINGING?
2 SONGS IN ONE

And they were singing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb: “Great and marvelous are your works, O Lord God, the Almighty. Just and true are your ways, O King of the nations. Who will not fear you, Lord, and glorify your name?

THE TRUTH OF GODS ETERNAL PLAN TO HUMANITY
STARTED WITH MOSES – THE LAW – COMMANDMENTS OF REQUIREMENTS GIVEN TO MEN
ENDED WITH JESUS – THE ANSWER – SACRIFICE THAT PAID THE LAW REQUIREMENTS

For you alone are holy.
GODS WORD IS HOLY AND RIGHTEOUS
All nations will come and worship before you, for your righteous deeds have been revealed.”

JESUS RIGHTEOUS DEEDS OF SACRIFICE AND BLOOD REVEALED PAID FOR EVERY NATION TO COME BEFORE THE FATHER AND WORSHIP – OBEY HIM

THE ULTIMATE REVELATION AND TRUTH OF GODS DESIRE AND PLAN IS FOR CHILDREN TO COME AND BE WITH HIM IN WORSHIP AND OBEDIENCE

Then I looked and saw that the Temple in heaven, God’s Tabernacle, was thrown wide open.

WHAT DID JOHN SEE AFTER THE SINGING?
THE TABERNACLE OF GOD IN HEAVEN – NOT BUILD BY HUMAN HANDS
THE DOOR OF GODS PRESENCE WAS OPEN WIDE – EXPOSED

The seven angels who were holding the seven plagues came out of the Temple.

WHO CAME OUT OF THE TAMPLE?
7 ANGELS (MESSAGERS) HOLDING 7 PLAGUES

They were clothed in spotless white linen with gold sashes across their chests.

HOW WERE THEY DRESSED?
WHITE SPOTLESS LINEN WITH GOLD SASHES (LONG STRAP) ACROSS THEIR CHEST – HEARTS ARE COMMITTED TO THE TRUTH

Then one of the four living beings handed each of the seven angels a gold bowl filled with the wrath of God, who lives forever and ever.

EACH ANGEL RECEIVED FROM ONE OF THE 4 LIVING CREATURES A BOWL OF GOLD FILLED WITH THE WRATH OF GOD

The Temple was filled with smoke from God’s glory and power.

WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE TEMPLE? FILLED WITH GODS GLORY AND POWER

No one could enter the Temple until the seven angels had completed pouring out the seven plagues.”

WHY NOT ANY ONE COULD ENTER THE TEMPLE? UNTIL WHEN?
THE ORDER OF GODS JUDGEMENTS ON EARTH WAS SET IN MOTION TO BE FOLLOWED. ONLY AFTER THE PLAGUES WERE RELEASED WAS PERMITTED TO ENTER INTO GODS PRESENCE

‭‭Revelation‬ ‭15:1-8‬ ‭NLT‬‬

—————————-
CHAPTER 16

END TIMES OF GREAT FINAL JUDGEMENTS – EARTH COMPLETE DESTRUCTION

JESUS IS READY TO RETURN

“Then I heard a mighty voice from the Temple say to the seven angels, “

A MIGHTY VOICE CAME OUT FROM THE TEMLE – GOD DECLARING JUDGEMENT TO BE FOLLOWED BY THE ANGELS

“Go your ways and pour out on the earth the seven bowls containing God’s wrath.”

EACH ANGEL HAD THEIR ASSIGNMENT AND THEY KNEW THE WAY TO FOLLOW TO POUR OUT THE BOWLS CONTAINING THE WRATH OF GOD – JUDGEMENT ON THE WICKED TO REPENT OF THEIR SINS

WHAT DID THE FIRST ANGEL POUR OUT?

So the first angel left the Temple and poured out his bowl on the earth, and horrible, malignant sores broke out on everyone who had the mark of the beast and who worshiped his statue.

ALL THOSE WITH SATANS MARK HAD MALIGNANT SORES
HOW LONG DID IT LAST?
THE SORES WERE A CLEAR SIGN OF WHO DESERVED SUCH ILLNESS

NEXT 6 JUDGEMENTS IS TO DESTROY ALL HOPE OF LIFE ON EARTH

WHAT DID THE SECOND ANGEL POUR OUT?
Then the second angel poured out his bowl on the sea, and it became like the blood of a corpse. And everything in the sea died.

ALL CREATION OF THE SEA DIED – NO LIFE FROM THE SEA – JUAT BLOOD

WHAT DID THE THIRD ANGEL POUR OUT?

Then the third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and springs, and they became blood. And I heard the angel who had authority over all water saying, “You are just, O Holy One, who is and who always was, because you have sent these judgments. Since they shed the blood of your holy people and your prophets, you have given them blood to drink. It is their just reward.” And I heard a voice from the altar, saying, “Yes, O Lord God, the Almighty, your judgments are true and just.”

ALL RIVERS AND SPRINGS TURNED INTO BLOOD – NO HEALTHY WATER TO DRINK – JUST AS THE NILE WITH PHARAOH

THERE IS AN ANGEL WHO HAS AUTHORITY OVER ALL WATERS – HE DECLARES GODS RIGHTEOUSNESS SINCE HUMANITY SHED THE BLOOD OF THE SAINTS SO NOW GOD GAVE BLOOD WATER TO THEM TO DRINK – THEIR REWARD

THERE WAS A REASON FOR ALL THAT BLOOD – GODS JUSTICE OF ALL THE SHED BLOOD OF HIS HOLY PEOPLE SONCE CREATION STARTING FROM ABELS BLOOD CRYING OUT FOR GODS FOR JUSTICE

FROM THE ALTAR COMES A VOICE IN AGREEMENT – JESUS VOICE – LAMB OF GOD AT THE ALTER ? HIS OWN BLOOD WAS SHED AS HUMAN BEING – GODS JUDGEMENT ARE JUST AND TRUE
WHAT DID THE THIRD ANGEL POUR OUT?

Then the fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, causing it to scorch everyone with its fire. Everyone was burned by this blast of heat, and they cursed the name of God, who had control over all these plagues. They did not repent of their sins and turn to God and give him glory.

THE SUN BECAME GODS WEAPON OF JUDGEMENT SCORCHING EVERYONE WITH FIRE – EVERYONE WERE BURNED BY THE BLAST OF HEAR – EXPLOSION OF HEAT

PEOPLE STILL DID NOT REPENT FROM THEIR SIN OR TURN TO GOD AND GAVE HIM GLORY BUT CURSED GOD

WHAT DID THE FITH ANGEL POUR OUT?

Then the fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom was plunged into darkness. His subjects ground their teeth in anguish, and they cursed the God of heaven for their pains and sores. But they did not repent of their evil deeds and turn to God.

DARKNESS – NO MORE LIGHT OR ENERGY FROM THE SUN OVER THE BEAST AND HIS GOVERNMENT – ALL IN AGREEMENT WITH HIM GROUND THEIR TEETH IN ANGUISH FOR THE SORES AND PAIN OF THE BURNING OF THE SUN

WHAT DID THE SIXTH ANGEL POUR OUT?

Then the sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great Euphrates River, and it dried up so that the kings from the east could march their armies toward the west without hindrance.

THE FINAL WAR OF AGES – NATIONS AGAINST NATIONS

And I saw three evil spirits that looked like frogs leap from the mouths of the dragon, the beast, and the false prophet.

WHO WERE THEY ? WHAT WERE THEIR POWERS? WHAT WAS THEIR PURPOSE?

They are demonic spirits who work miracles and go out to all the rulers of the world to gather them for battle against the Lord on that great judgment day of God the Almighty. “

THEY DID MIRACLES AND WENT TO DECEIVE AND GATHER THE RULERS OF THE EARTH AGAINST THE LORD JESUS

“Look, I will come as unexpectedly as a thief! Blessed are all who are watching for me, who keep their clothing ready so they will not have to walk around naked and ashamed.”

JESUS AGAI. SPEAKS OF HIS RETURN AS A THIEF – TO BE READY – HOW?
HOW CAN WE BE READY FOR HIS RETUN ?

BE WATCHFUL
watchful, vigilant, wide-awake, alert mean being on the lookout especially for danger or opportunity. watchful is the least explicit term.
vigilant suggests intense, unremitting, wary watchfulness.
Not distracted with things of this word – pleasures

KEEP CLOTHE READY
DO NOT BE NACKED IN CORRUPTION AND SIN – HAVE YOUR CLOTHE OF PRAISE AND WORSHIP ON FOR HIS ARRIVAL
KEEP THE FRESH OIL BEING POURED IN AND OUT OF THE LAMP WHEN HE ARRIVES AS THE FIVE WISED BRIDES
If someone is ready, they are properly prepared for something. If something is ready, it has been properly prepared and is now able to be used.
If you are ready for something or ready to do something, you have enough experience to do it or you are old enough and sensible enough to do it.
If you are ready to do something, you are willing to do it.

AGAIN THE ENEMY WENT TO GATHER ALL THE RULERS AT ARMAGEDDON

And the demonic spirits gathered all the rulers and their armies to a place with the Hebrew name Armageddon.

WHO IS SPEAKING HERE? JESUS
WHAT DOES HE SAY THAT IS IMPORTANT?
BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO ARE WATCHING – WAITING FOR HIS RETURN
BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO ARE CLOTHE AND READY NOT WALKING NAKED IN SIN

WHAT DID THE SEVENTH ANGEL POUR OUT?

Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air.

NOT THE WATER, NOT THE SUN, BUT THE AIR

And a mighty shout came from the throne in the Temple, saying, “It is finished!”

WHAT DID THE LORD SAY FROM THE THRONE?
SAME WORDS AT THE CROSS “IT IS FINISHED”

Then the thunder crashed and rolled, and lightning flashed. And a great earthquake struck—the worst since people were placed on the earth.

THUNDER AND LIGHTNING – METEORITE HIT THE EARTH
CAUSED EARTHQUAKE LIKE NEVER BEFORE – SHIFTED EARTH ROTATION

The great city of Babylon split into three sections, and the cities of many nations fell into heaps of rubble.

WITH THE HUGE EARTHQUAKE MANY NATIONS ENDED IN RUBBLE

So God remembered all of Babylon’s sins, and he made her drink the cup that was filled with the wine of his fierce wrath. And every island disappeared, and all the mountains were leveled.

EARTH WAS IMPACTED – GOD DID NOT FORGET THE SIN OF HUMANITY
ISLANS DISAPPEARED AND MOUNTAINS LEVELED
There was a terrible hailstorm, and hailstones weighing as much as seventy-five pounds fell from the sky onto the people below.

BIG METEORITES FELL FROM HEAVEN DESTROYING PEOPLE
IS THIS THE NIBIRU STAR ?

They cursed God because of the terrible plague of the hailstorm.”

‭‭Revelation‬ ‭16:1-21‬ ‭NLT‬‬

CHAPTER 17

WHAT HAPPENED AFTER THE SEVENTH POURING OUT OF THE BOWL?

“One of the seven angels who had poured out the seven bowls came over and spoke to me. “

ONE OF THE ANGELS CAME TO JOHN
TO SAY WAHT? WHAT WAS THE MESSAGE?

Come with me,” he said, “and I will show you the judgment that is going to come on the great prostitute, who rules over many waters. The kings of the world have committed adultery with her, and the people who belong to this world have been made drunk by the wine of her immorality.”

WHAT DOES THE ANGEL WANT TO SHOW JOHN?
JUDGEMENT ON THE GRET PROSTITUTE

WHO IS THE GREAT PROSTITUTE WHO RULES?
RULES OVER WHAT? OVER MANY WATERS
WHAT DOES THE MANY WATERS MEAN?
IN THE NATURAL – CONTROL OF WATER FOR SURVIVAL

So the angel took me in the Spirit into the wilderness.

WHERE DID THE ANGEL TAKE JOHN?
TO THE WILDERNESS
WHAT DOES IT FIND IN THE WILDERNESS? PLACE OF NO LIFE – DRY LAND

There I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that had seven heads and ten horns, and blasphemies against God were written all over it.

WOMAN – RELIGIOUS WORLD SYSTEM
SEVEN HEADS – 7 NATIONS UNDER SATAN DOMINION
TEN HORNS – 10 GLOBAL CONFEDERATIONS

The woman wore purple and scarlet clothing and beautiful jewelry made of gold and precious gems and pearls.

WHAT DOES THE JEWELRY MEAN?
THE RICHES CONQUERED BY BLOOD

In her hand she held a gold goblet full of obscenities and the impurities of her immorality.

HAND – WORKS AND FRUITS OF THIS CORRUPTED DECEITFUL SYSTEM WITHOUT GOD

A mysterious name was written on her forehead: “Babylon the Great, Mother of All Prostitutes and Obscenities in the World.”

BABYLON – ROME – HUMANISTIC MIXED WITH DARK INFLUENCE

I could see that she was drunk—drunk with the blood of God’s holy people who were witnesses for Jesus.

WORLD SYSTEM WITH BLOOD OF THE SAINTS IN ITS HANDS

I stared at her in complete amazement. “Why are you so amazed?” the angel asked.

WHY WAS JOHN SO IMPRESSED OF THE WORLD SYSTEM?
THE ANGELS EXPLAINS THE VISION TO JOHN

“I will tell you the mystery of this woman and of the beast with seven heads and ten horns on which she sits. The beast you saw was once alive but isn’t now.

And yet he will soon come up out of the bottomless pit and go to eternal destruction.

THE BEAST WILL GO TO ETERNAL DESTRUCTION

And the people who belong to this world, whose names were not written in the Book of Life before the world was made, will be amazed at the reappearance of this beast who had died. “

THE NAMES ARE ALREADY WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE BEFORE THE CREATION

PEOPLE WILL BE AMAZED OF THE REAPPEARANCE OF THE BEAST WHO HAD DIED

WHO IS THE BEAST? HITLER?

“This calls for a mind with understanding:
The seven heads of the beast represent the seven hills where the woman rules.

7 HEADS – HILLS NOT MOUNTAIN – 7 KINGDOMS

They also represent seven kings. Five kings have already fallen, the sixth now reigns, and the seventh is yet to come, but his reign will be brief. “

EGYPT
ASSYRIA
BABYLON
MEDO-PERSA
GREECE
ROME
ANGLO-AMERICA – BRITAIN EMPIRE AND US – SHORT REIGN

The head of gold represented the Babylonian Empire.
The breasts and arms of silver depicted Medo-Persia.
The belly and thighs of copper pointed to ancient Greece.
The legs of iron pictured the Roman Empire.
The feet, an amalgam of iron and clay, symbolize the politically and socially incohesive state of affairs during the time of the Anglo-American world power.

“The scarlet beast that was, but is no longer, is the eighth king. ”

THE EIGHTH KING IS THE BEAST (MUSLIMS – GLOBAL SYSTEM) WITH THE BLOOD OF THE SAINTS (SCARLET – RED)

WHAT IS THE EIGHTH KINGDOM ?
GLOBAL POWERS UNITED

“He is like the other seven, and he, too, is headed for destruction. ”

ALL 8 KINGDOM WERE DESTROYED

The ten horns of the beast are ten kings who have not yet risen to power.

10 CONFEDERATION OF THE GLOBSL SYSTEM THAT MAINTAIN THE CORRUPTED AND DECEITFUL SYSTEM AWAY FROM GOD.

They will be appointed to their kingdoms for one brief moment to reign with the beast.

THE BEAST – GLOBAL WORLD SYSTEM WILL HAVE THE 10 CONFEDERATION NATIONS – GOAT NATIONS

“Matthew 25:31–46: “But when the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then he will sit on the throne of his glory. Before him all the nations will be gathered, and he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.”

WHAT THIS LAST KINGDOM WILL DO?

Together they will go to war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will defeat them because he is Lord of all lords and King of all kings.

THERE IS NO CHANCE OF THE NATIONS TO WAR AGAINST THE ONE WHO IS THE LORD OF LORDS AND KING OF KINGS

And his called and chosen and faithful ones will be with him.”

WHO WILL BE WITH HIM? IT IS NOT ONLY HIM AND THE ANGELS BUT ALSO THE REDEEMED ONES BY HIS BLOOD

THESE ARE THE ONES:
– – CALLED US TO HIS PURPOSE AND GRACE
Who hath saved us, and called [us] with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began, 2 TIM 1:9
CHOSEN EVEN BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD
According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:EPH 1:4
FAITHFUL ONES WHO KNOW THE HEART OF THE FATHER
Levantarei para mim um sacerdote fiel, que agirá de acordo com o meu coração e o meu pensamento. Edificarei firmemente a família dele, e ele ministrará sempre perante o meu rei ungido. 1 Samuel 2:34-35 NVI

ANGEL SPEAKS TO JOHN CLARIFYING THE VISION

Then the angel said to me, “The waters where the prostitute is ruling represent masses of people of every nation and language.

WHAT IS THE WATER? – MASSES OF PÈOPLE OF EVERY NATION AND LANGUAGE
WHAT IS THE PROSTITUTE? – OTHER LOVES AND NOT GOD LIKE RELIGION, MONEY, AND ITS OWN LIFE SURVIVAL
THE RELIGIOUS ORDER (PROSTITUE) RULES OVER NATIONS

The scarlet beast and his ten horns all hate the prostitute.

WHAT IS SCARLET BEAST? SATAN IDEOLOGY WITH BLOOD OF THE SAINTS IN ITS HANDS
TEN HORNS? 10 WORLD CONFEDERATIONS UNDER SATANS LEADERSHIP – UN
THEY

They will strip her naked, eat her flesh, and burn her remains with fire.

THE RELIGIOUS ORDER WILL BE STRIPPED OF POWER OF INFLUENCE AND BE DESTROYED

For God has put a plan into their minds, a plan that will carry out his purposes.

WHAT DID GOD DO?
HE PURPOSELY PUT IDEAS AND PLAN IN PEOPLES MINDS INFLUENCING THEM TO DO ACCORDING TO HIS PLANS

GOD IS IN CONTROL OF ALL ORCHESTRATING ALL THINGS IN ITS PERFECT TIMING
THE BEAST AND OTHERS ARE ALL FOLLOWING GODS PLAN

GOD IN HIS WISDOM IS PREPARING THE END TO COME IN ORDER TO REVEAL THE HEART OF MAN HIDDEN BEHIND RELIGIOUS SPIRIT

They will agree to give their authority to the scarlet beast, and so the words of God will be fulfilled.

NATIONS AND RULERS OF RELIGIOUS INFLUENCE WILL GIVE AUTHORITY TO SATAN IDEOLOGY WITH THE BLOOD OF THE SAINTS IN ITS HANDS
ALL WILL HAPPEN ACCORDING TO GODS PURPOSE AND PLAN

And this woman you saw in your vision represents the great city that rules over the kings of the world.””

THERE WILL BE A GOVERNMENT OF PEOPLE WITH SATAN IDEOLOGY RULING OVER ALL NATIONS
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭17:1-12, 14-18‬ ‭NLT‬‬

CHAPTER 18

AFTER THE SEVEN ANGELS POURED JUDGEMENT JOHN SAW ANOTHER ANGEL WITH GREAT AUTHORITY

“After all this I saw another angel come down from heaven with great authority, and the earth grew bright with his splendor.

THIS ANGEL HAD SO MUCH AUTHORITY THAT LIFHT WOULD COME OUT OF HIM AND THE EARTH GREW BRIGHT WITH HIS SPLENDOUR – LIKE A SUN ON THE SKY

WHAT DID HE COME TO DO ON THE EARTH?

He gave a mighty shout: “Babylon is fallen—that great city is fallen! She has become a home for demons. She is a hideout for every foul spirit, a hideout for every foul vulture and every foul and dreadful animal. For all the nations have fallen because of the wine of her passionate immorality. The kings of the world have committed adultery with her. Because of her desires for extravagant luxury, the merchants of the world have grown rich.”

THE GREAT ANGEL SPOKE THE TRUTH OF THIS WORLD SYSTEM –
ROMAN EMPIRE – HUMANISTIC IDEOLOGY – THIS WORLD CORRUPTED FULL OF DEMONS HAS FALLEN

WHAT HAS THIS HUMANISTIC IDEOLOGY BECOME?
A PLACE HOME FOR DEMONS – FOUL SPIRITS – DREADFUL
WHY? WHAT HAS SHE DONE?
LOVE OF MONEY – EXTRAVAGANT DESIRES FOR LUXURY AND MERCHANTS FOLLOWED HER CORRUPTED SYSTEM

AFTER THE GREAT ANGEL SPOKE, ANOTHER VOICE FROM HEAVEN SPOKE

“Then I heard another voice calling from heaven, “Come away from her, my people.”

GOD SPEAKS TO HIS PEOPLE STILL LIVING IN THE EARTH – TWO COMMANDS
TO DO WHAT? WHAT IS THE COMMAND OF GOD IN THE MIDTS OF HUGE CORRUPTION AND TEMPTATION TO SIN AND LOVE MONEY?

COME AWAY

phrasal verb with come uk /kʌm/ us /kʌm/ verb came, come. If something comes away from something else, it becomes separated from it

1. To step or otherwise move away from something. Please come away from those rickety oldsteps before you hurt yourself.
2. To travel somewhere. Often used in the sense of a romantic getaway.
3. To be removed, as of a substance from a surface.
4. To depart from something, such as an experience, event, etc., typically after its completion. Inthis usage, the phrase is often followed by “with” and something acquired by the end of theexperience.

THE COME AWAY IS A PERSONAL DECISION FROM ALL CHILDREN OF GOD – EACH ONE WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR OWN OBEDIENCE OR NOT BEFORE THE FATHER

“Do not take part in her sins, or you will be punished with her. ”

2 – DO NOT TAKE PART OF HER SINS

TAKE PART

1. To share or participate in something. Often followed by “in (something).”
2. To support or side with someone in an argument. In this usage, a noun or pronoun is typically used between “take” and “part.”

For her sins are piled as high as heaven, and God remembers her evil deeds.

WHAT HAS THE HUMANITY SINS DONE?
PILED UP AS HIGH AS HEAVEN

AND GOD REMEMBERS HER EVIL DEEDS

Do to her as she has done to others. Double her penalty for all her evil deeds. She brewed a cup of terror for others, so brew twice as much for her. She glorified herself and lived in luxury, so match it now with torment and sorrow.

TORMENTS AND SORROW NOW MATCHES WITH HER PRIDE AND LUXURY

She boasted in her heart, ‘I am queen on my throne. I am no helpless widow, and I have no reason to mourn.’

WHAT DOES SHE BOAST ABOUT?
HUMANITY CALLS – I AM QUEEN ON MY THRONE – I AM NOT HELPLESS WIDOW – I HAVE NO REASON TO MOURN

Therefore, these plagues will overtake her in a single day— death and mourning and famine. She will be completely consumed by fire, for the Lord God who judges her is mighty.”

HUMANITY WILL BE COMPLETELY CONSUMED BY FIRE – GOD WILL JUDGE HER MIGHTY

And the kings of the world who committed adultery with her and enjoyed her great luxury will mourn for her as they see the smoke rising from her charred remains.

PAST ROMAN EMPIRE FALLEN – CITY TOTALLY DESTROYED
FUTURE HUMANISTIC IDEOLOGY FALLEN – DESTROYED

They will stand at a distance, terrified by her great torment. They will cry out, “How terrible, how terrible for you, O Babylon, you great city! In a single moment God’s judgment came on you.”

PEOPLE WILL SEE GODS JUDGMENT

The merchants of the world will weep and mourn for her, for there is no one left to buy their goods. She bought great quantities of gold, silver, jewels, and pearls; fine linen, purple, silk, and scarlet cloth; things made of fragrant thyine wood, ivory goods, and objects made of expensive wood; and bronze, iron, and marble. She also bought cinnamon, spice, incense, myrrh, frankincense, wine, olive oil, fine flour, wheat, cattle, sheep, horses, wagons, and bodies—that is, human slaves. “

WORLD HUMANISTIC COMMERCE – MERCHANTS – BUSINESSES OF THIS FALLEN WORLD GONE

The fancy things you loved so much are gone,” they cry. “All your luxuries and splendor are gone forever, never to be yours again.”

ALL PRIDE OF FANCY THINGS GONE

The merchants who became wealthy by selling her these things will stand at a distance, terrified by her great torment.

WHAT ARE THE PEOPLES REACTION OF THE FALLEN SYSTEM?
THEY WILL WITHDRAW AND BE TERRIFIED FOR THEIR TRUST WAS ON SUCH CORRUPTED SYSTEM

They will weep and cry out, “How terrible, how terrible for that great city! She was clothed in finest purple and scarlet linens, decked out with gold and precious stones and pearls!

In a single moment all the wealth of the city is gone!”

HOW FAST WILL THIS TAKE PLACE?
IN ONE MOMENT IT WILL BE GONE

And all the captains of the merchant ships and their passengers and sailors and crews will stand at a distance. They will cry out as they watch the smoke ascend, and they will say, “Where is there another city as great as this?”

And they will weep and throw dust on their heads to show their grief. And they will cry out, “How terrible, how terrible for that great city! The shipowners became wealthy by transporting her great wealth on the seas. In a single moment it is all gone.”

HOW SHOULD HEAVEN AND GODS PEOPLE REACT TO GODS JUDGMENT ?

Rejoice over her fate, O heaven and people of God and apostles and prophets! For at last God has judged her for your sakes.

AT THE END SHE WILL BE JUDGED – GODS MERCY AND JUSTICE TAKING PLACE

Then a mighty angel picked up a boulder the size of a huge millstone. He threw it into the ocean and shouted, “Just like this, the great city Babylon will be thrown down with violence and will never be found again.

WHAT DID THE MIGHTY ANGEL DO?
AS A DEMONSTRATION HE PICKED A HUGE ROCK AND THREW IT INTI THE OCEAN
THE ROCK WAS GONE INA SECOND AS IT WAS WITH THE GREAT ROMAN EMPIRE AS WELL AS THE HUMANISTIC IDEOLOGY WILL BE GONE

The sound of harps, singers, flutes, and trumpets will never be heard in you again. No craftsmen and no trades will ever be found in you again. The sound of the mill will never be heard in you again. The light of a lamp will never shine in you again. The happy voices of brides and grooms will never be heard in you again.

NO MORE SOUND OF JOY OR GREED

For your merchants were the greatest in the world, and you deceived the nations with your sorceries.

HOW WERE THE NATIONS DECEIVED BY SATAN AND HIS CHILDREN ?
THEY USED SORCERIES – GIVING SPACE FOR DEMONS TO OPERATE

In your streets flowed the blood of the prophets and of God’s holy people and the blood of people slaughtered all over the world.””

DEATH ALL OVER FOR CENTURIES – YOUR STREETS FLOWED WITH THE BLOOD OF THE PEOPLE OF GOD

‭‭Revelation‬ ‭18:1-24‬ ‭NLT‬‬

——————————-
CHAPTER 19

WHAT HAPPEN AFTER BABYLON WAS FALLEN ?

WHAT HAPPENED IN HEAVEN?

“After this, I heard what sounded like a vast crowd in heaven shouting, “Praise the Lord! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God. His judgments are true and just. He has punished the great prostitute who corrupted the earth with her immorality. He has avenged the murder of his servants.”

WHAT WAS THE SOUND ABOUT? WHAT WAS THE GREAT SHOUT? WHO SHOUTED?
HUGE CROWD DECLARING AND PRAISING GODS – SPEAKING TRUTH OF GODS SALVATION, GLORY AND POWER – HIS JUDGEMENTS ARE TRUE AND JUST AVENGING THE MURDER OF HIS CHILDREN BOND SERVANTS

And again their voices rang out: “Praise the Lord! The smoke from that city ascends forever and ever!”

SMOKE FROM THE LAKE OF FIRE BURNING ALL THAT CORRUPTION FOR EVER

Then the twenty-four elders and the four living beings fell down and worshiped God, who was sitting on the throne.

WHAT WAS THE 24 ELDERS AND FOUR CREATURES REACTION BEFORE THIS SHOUTING FROM THE NATIONS ?

THEY WORSHIP AGAIN AND AGAIN THE KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS
WORSHIP COMES – PROCEEDS BEFORE PRAISE AND NOT THE OPPOSITE – HOW TO PRAISE SOMEONE IF THERE IS NO FEAR OR KNOWLEDGE OF THE ONE WHO IS BEING PRAISED

They cried out, “Amen! Praise the Lord!”

THEY CONFIRMED AND AGREED WITH THE CROWDS SHOUTING TRUTH

And from the throne came a voice that said, “Praise our God, all his servants, all who fear him, from the least to the greatest.”

AFTER THEIR AGREEMENT – POWER OF AGREEMENT
A VOICE FROM HEAVEN COME – IT DOES NOT SAY AN ANGEL SPOKE
JESUS IS THE WORD – HE IS THE VOICE

IT SAYS PRAISE – THERE ARE 7 TYPES OF PRAISE IN HEBREW
PRAISE FLOWS FROM THOSE WHO FEAR HIM – WORSHIP HIM FIRST – PRECEDED BY WORSHIPPING HIM FOR HE IS IN SEARCH OF WORSHIPPERS. ONLY THOSE WHO WORSHIP FEAR HIM WILL BE ABLE TO TRULY PRAISE AND DECLARE TRUTH OF HIM

Then I heard again what sounded like the shout of a vast crowd or the roar of mighty ocean waves or the crash of loud thunder: “

THE VAST CROWD COULD NOT BE SILENT – BUT IT WAS HUNGRY FOR MORE PRAISE

WHAT ELSE DO THE VAST CROWD HAS KNOWLEDGE AND RECOGNITION OF GOD? WHAT ELSE IS IMPORTANT TO BE DECLARED?

Praise the Lord! For the Lord our God, the Almighty, reigns. Let us be glad and rejoice, and let us give honor to him. For the time has come for the wedding feast of the Lamb, and his bride has prepared herself. She has been given the finest of pure white linen to wear.”

THE FOCUS IS THE BRIDEGROOM WITH HIS BRIDE – HE WASHED AWAY HER SINS AND HAS GIVEN HER PURE WHITE LINEN TO WEAR – NOT COTTON – NO MORE FLESH STRENGTH OR MANIFESTATION ONLY OF THEIR SPIRIT AND SOUL BEFORE THE KINGS OF KING

For the fine linen represents the good deeds of God’s holy people.

THE LINEN IS GOOD DEEDS RESULTED FROM HIS LOVE, HOPE AND FAITH ON HIM

And the angel said to me, “Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding feast of the Lamb.”

And he added, “These are true words that come from God.”

WHAT DID THE ANGEL SAY TO JOHN? WHY?
THERE IS A HEAVENLY WEDDING CALLED WEDDING FEAST OF THE LAMB – THE UNITY OF THE BRIDE WITH THE BRIDEGROOM FOREVER FEASTING IN HIS PRESENCE

WHY?

THESE WORDS ARE TRUE THAT NEED TO BE WRITTEN DOWN SINCE THEY COME FROM GOD AND NOT ANY OTHER SOURCE

THE TRITH IS THAT THE BRIDEGROOM SAW THE REWARD OF HIS SACRIFICE ON THE CROSS – LIVES FROM ALL CENTURIES ON EARTH REDEEMED BY HIS BLOOD TO BE WITH HIM WHERE HE IS. HE SPOKE OF MANY PLACES DWELLINGS FOR HIS BROTHERS AND LOVED ONES

Then I fell down at his feet to worship him, but he said, “No, don’t worship me.

WHY DID JOHN WANT TO WORSHIP THE ANGEL? DIDN’T HE KNOW THAT ONLY WORSHIP GOD ?

I am a servant of God, just like you and your brothers and sisters who testify about their faith in Jesus. Worship only God. For the essence of prophecy is to give a clear witness for Jesus. ”

WHAT WAS JOHN’s REACTION BEFORE SO MUCH TRUTH AND GLORY?
DID HE LOOSE DISCERNMENT TO THE ONE WHOM HE WAS LISTENING FROM?
MAYBE TOO MUCH GLORY FOR A HUMAN BEING ?

WHAT DID THE ANGEL SAY?
ANGEL IS ALSO A SERVANT OF GOD JUST LIKE THE BORN AGAIN – THERE IS ONLY ONE PERSON TO BE WORSHIPPED – GOD

WHAT ELSE DID THE ANGEL REVEALED ALSO ?
“For the essence of prophecy is to give a clear witness for Jesus. ”

WHAT IS THE TRUE ESSENCE OF PROPHECY ?

“foreknowledge of future events, though it may sometimes apply to past events of which there is no memory, and to present hidden things which cannot be known by the natural light of reason.”

THE TRUTH OF THE PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE IS ALL ABOUT JESUS THE WORD OF GOD MADE IN FLESH
TO PROPHECY IS TO GIVE TESTIMONY OF HIM ALONE

Then I saw heaven opened, and a white horse was standing there.

WHO DID JOHN SEE AFTER THE REVELATION OF TRUE WORSHIP?
WHAT DOES TRUE WORSHIP ALIGNMENT CAUSE OR OPEN?
WHY IS TRUE WORSHIP SO VITAL FOR THE BELIEVER?
WHAT IS THE DANGER OF NOT ALIGNING TO TRUE WORSHIP?

AFTER JOHN ALIGNED TO THE TRUTH OF TO WHOM TO WORSHIP (GOD IS AFTER TRUE WORSHIPPER IN THE SPIRIT IN JESUS NOT PRAISERS) HE SAW OPEN HEAVEN

OPEN HEAVEN COMES TO THOSE WHO ARE WORSHIPPERS
THERE IS NO PRAISE (EXTERNAL EXPRESSION) WITHOUT FIRST BEING A WORSHIPPER INSIDE – SPIRIT AND IN JESUS TRUTH

WORSHIP IS NOT SOMETHING COMING FROM THE SOUL OR BODY
WORSHIP COMES FROM THE SPIRIT OF MAN WHO WALKS ON THE TRUTH OF JESUS CHRIST
TRUE WORSHIP GROWS AS THE SPIRIT OF MAN IS AWAKEN MATURES AND REACHES NEW HIGHTS – THE SPIRIT – HEART OF MAN NEEDS TO BE ACTIVATED AND DEVELOPED TO THE LEADERSHIP AND TEACHING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
IT IS THE HOLY SPIRIT THAT TEACHES GUIDES AND MATURES THE SPIRIT BEING ONE WITH HIM

Its rider was named Faithful and True, for he judges fairly and wages a righteous war.

A RIDER ON A WHITE HOUSE
WHY A WHITE HORSE?
WHO WAS THIS RIDER?

WORSHIP OPENS A NEW LAYER OF REVELATION OF WHO JESUS IS

TRUE WORSHIP REVEALS JESUS NATURE

HE IS FAITHFUL – FAITHFUL TO THE FATHER IN FIRST PLACE
HE IS TRUE – TRUE TO THE FATHER AND HIS FOLLOWERS

WHAT DOES HE DO?

1- HE JUDGES FAIRLY – JUSTICE
2- WAGES A RIGHTEOUS WAR – MERCY

His eyes were like flames of fire, and on his head were many crowns.

HOW DID JESUS REVEAL HIS APPEARANCE TO JOHN?

HIS EYES
HIS HEAD

HIS TRUE NATURE OF EYES OF FIRE – NOTHING SCAPES HIS EYES OF TRUE LOVE AND COMMITMENT – FAITHFUL

HIS HEAD OF AUTHORITY ANS POWER – TRUTH – APPROVED

MANY CROWNS – WHY? MANY CONQUESTS AND RECOGNITIONS ACHIEVED ON THE CROSS – EVEN THE CROWNS OF THE TWENTY FOUR ELDERS

A name was written on him that no one understood except himself.

WHAT DID HE HAVE ON HIM?
WHAT WAS WRITTEN ON HIM?
WHY WAS A NAME WRITTEN ON HIM?
WHY WAS HE THE ONLY ONE TO UNDERSTAND HIS NAME?

NAME – PERSONAL IDENTITY IN HIS SPIRIT – UNIQUE PERSONAL
THERE IS ONLY ONE UNIQUENESS – THUS ONLY HE CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT GOD PUT IN HIM IN THE SPIRIT

He wore a robe dipped in blood, and his title was the Word of God.

WHAT DID WEAR?
WHAT WAS DIPPED ON HIS ROBE ? WORK OF OBEDIENCE WITH SIGN OF HIS BLOOD POURED OUT FOR HUMANITY AND CREATION
WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THE BLOOD? REMISSION OF SIN IS ONLY DONE BY BLOOD – COVENANT IS ONLY DONE BY BLOOD – LIFE FOR LIFE

WHAT DID HE HAVE?
WHAT IS A TITLE?
appellation of dignity, honor, distinction, or preeminence attached to a person or family by virtue of rank, office, precedent, privilege, attainment, or lands

a person holding a title especially of nobility
legally just cause of exclusive possession
the instrument (such as a deed) that is evidence of a
all the elements constituting legal ownership

WHAT IS THE TITLE ? WHAT IS JESUS NOBILITY?
IT IS THE WORD OF GOD – ETERNAL POWER AND AUTHORITY

IS THERE ANY OTHER GREATER POWER, AUTHORITY AND SIGNIFICANCE THAN THE WORD OF GOD THAT DEFINES AND ESTABLISHES ALL THINGS IN HEAVEN AND EARTH?
WHAT WILL NEVER PASS AWAY? ALTERED? REMOVED?

WHAT DEFINES THE TRUTH?

GREATER AND FIRST COMMADMENT?
TRUE LOVE? JUSTICE, PEACE AND JOY IN THE HOLY SPIRIT?
COMMITMENT – FAITHFULNESS TO WHOM?
TRUE REWARD?
TRUE IDENTITY?
MARRIAGE?
SEX ?
FAMILY?
FINANCE – TREASURES IN HEAVEN?

IS THE THOUGHT, WILL OR BELIEFS OF ANY MAN OR ANGEL GREATER THAN THE WORD OF GOD?

NO AND THERE IS NOTHING MAN OR SPIRITS CAN DO TO CHANGE IT

HUMAN BEINGS WILL BORN AND DIE WITH HIS OR HER BELIEFS BUT THE TRUTH WHICH IT IS ABSOLUTE (NOT CHANGED BY TIME) IS ETERNAL

IS THE GAP OF DEFINING WHAT IS TRUE AND WHAT IS THE AUTHORITY OF IDEAS AND CONCEPTS OF THIS WORLD INCREASING IN DISAGREEMENT WITH THE WORD OF GOD?
WHY?
INCREASE OF DISOBEDIENCE TO THE VALUES AND RIGHTEOUSNESS OF THE WORD OF GOD ?

DAN WORD
“That sets aside the Bible fact that in the beginning God made them male and female. There’s no choice in the matter. That illustrates how far the confusion of definition has gone. Of course to agree on a definition one must determine the authority of the definition. If there is no agreement on the underlying authority for all definitions then everyone defines something any way they want and the confusion continues. At the tower of Babel the languages were confused, now in Babylon the definitions are confused. Same result. We define words according to how the Bible defines them. Can we agree on that?To answer “yes” to that question broadens the gap between you and the world. Are you ready to be misunderstood?” D Duke

ARE BELIEVERS READY TO BE MORE MISUNDERSTOOD IN THE WORLD AS WE AGREE WITH THE WORD OF GOD?

The armies of heaven, dressed in the finest of pure white linen, followed him on white horses.

THE RIDER IN THE WHITE HORSE HAD FOLLOWERS
WHO WERE THEY?
AN ARMY – BUT NOT ANY ARMY, BUT FROM HEAVEN
THEY ALSO WERE DRESSED IN PURE WHITE LINEN – NOT COTTON
THEY ALSO RODE ON WHITE HORSES

From his mouth came a sharp sword to strike down the nations.

WHAT DID JESUS DO TO STRIKE DOWN THE NATIONS?
HIS WORDS OF TRUTH AND JUDGMENT FROM HIS MOUTH DID IT ALL

He will rule them with an iron rod.

BESIDES STRIKING DOWN NATIONS – HE WILL RULE WITH JUSTICE WITH AN IRON ROD – HIS TITLE IS THE WORD OF GOD

Iron rod or Rod of iron may refer to:
Wrought iron, a non-ornamental iron used in building and heavy construction
It is a non natural resource gotten from iron ore.
Word of God

He will release the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty, like juice flowing from a winepress.

UNDER HIS RULE JESUS WILL RELEASE SOMETHING – WRATH OF GOD

Wrath is defined as “the emotional response to perceived wrong and injustice,” often translated as “anger,” “indignation,” “vexation,” or “irritation.” Both humans and God express wrath. But there is vast difference between the wrath of God and the wrath of man. God’s wrath is holy and always justified; man’s is never holy and rarely justified.
It is a divine response to human sin and disobedience. Idolatry was most often the occasion for divine wrath. How to avoid Gods wrath?
God provided a way to gain divine favor—repentance—which turns God’s wrath away from the sinner. To reject that perfect plan is to reject God’s love, mercy, grace and favor and incur His righteous wrath.

The wrath of God is a fearsome and terrifying thing. Only those who have been covered by the blood of Christ, shed for us on the cross, can be assured that God’s wrath will never fall on them. “Since we have now been justified by His blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through Him!” (Romans 5:9).

On his robe at his thigh was written this title: King of all kings and Lord of all lords.

THER IS DESCRIPTION ON HIS ROBE AT HIS THIGH
WHY ON HIS THIGH?

It is the longest and strongest bone in HUMAN body. Because the femur is so strong, it usually takes a lot of force to break it.

SPEAKS OF REACH DISTANCE AND STRENGTH POWER

THERE IS NO PLACE WHERE HE CANNOT REACH WITH THE WORD OF GOD
THERE IS NO POWER THAT CAN BREAK OR DIMINISH HIS POWER

Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, shouting to the vultures flying high in the sky: “Come! Gather together for the great banquet God has prepared. Come and eat the flesh of kings, generals, and strong warriors; of horses and their riders; and of all humanity, both free and slave, small and great.”

WHERE WAS THE ANGEL STANDING?
IN THE SUN – WHY THE SUN? THE SUN SCORCHED EVERY FLESH – ALL THESE GROUPS OF NO SOCIAL OR ECONOMICAL DISTINCTION DESTROYED , BUT NOT THE VULTURES
WHO DID HE SHOULT TO ?
VULTURES – WHY? THEY WERE MADE TO EAT FLESH

Then I saw the beast and the kings of the world and their armies gathered together to fight against the one sitting on the horse and his army.

THE REMANENT OF SATAN THE FALSE PROPHET AND HIS FOLLOWERS GOT TOGETHER TO FIGHT AGAINST JESUS AND HIS ARMY

THEY DID NOT HAD A CHANCE AND WERE CAPTURED AND DESTROYED

And the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who did mighty miracles on behalf of the beast—miracles that deceived all who had accepted the mark of the beast and who worshiped his statue.

NO MORE FREE PASS FOR SATAN AND THE PROPHET
WHAT DECEIVED THE NATIONS TO RECEIVE THE MARK OF SATAN?
THE MIRACLES ON BEHAF OF SATAN DONE BY THE PROPHET

Both the beast and his false prophet were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur.

WHO AND WHERE WAS THROWN ALIVE?
SATAN’s AGENT AND HIS PROPHET TO A LAKE OF FIRE OF BURNING SULPHUR

Sulfur burns with a blue flame with formation of sulfur dioxide, which has a suffocating and irritating odor
Molten sulfur assumes a dark red color above 200 °C (392 °F)

Their entire army was killed by the sharp sword that came from the mouth of the one riding the white horse.

WHO WAS KILLED? ALL SATANS ARMY LEADED BY ANTI- CHRIST

HOW? BY WHO?
BY THE WORD – SWORD THAT CAME OUT OF THE MOUTH OF JESUS RIDING THE WHITE HORSE

And the vultures all gorged themselves on the dead bodies.”

THE VULTURES THAT EAT MEAT GORGED THEMSELVES

‭‭Revelation‬ ‭19:1-21‬ ‭NLT‬‬

—————————-
CHAPTER 20

AFTER THE DESTRUCTION OF ANTI – CHRIST ARMY

SATAN IS SEIZED FOR 1000 YEARS
JESUS REIGN ON EATH

“Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven with the key to the bottomless pit and a heavy chain in his hand. He seized the dragon—that old serpent, who is the devil, Satan—and bound him in chains for a thousand years.

THIS ANGEL CAME FROM HEAVEN WITH A HEAVY CHAIN IN HIS HAND
IT TAKES HEAVY CHAIN TO SEIZE SATAN – TOO MANY LIES AND DECEIT

The angel threw him into the bottomless pit, which he then shut and locked so Satan could not deceive the nations anymore until the thousand years were finished.

NO MORE DECEIT FOR 1000 YEARS – JESUS MILLENNIAL REIGN

Afterward he must be released for a little while.

WHY WAS HE RELEASED FOR A LITTLE WHILE
NOT ALL HUMANITY DESIRED JESUS LEADERSHIP AND REIGN
ANYONE WHO WILL BE WITH HIM IN THE ETERNITY WILL BE OUT OF FREE LOVE – NOT OBLIGATED

Then I saw thrones, and the people sitting on them had been given the authority to judge.

THERE ARE THRONES WAITING FOR THOSE WHO WILL RECEIVE AUTHORITY AND JUDGE

And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their testimony about Jesus and for proclaiming the word of God.

JOHN SAW SOULS
WHICH SOULS ?
THOSE BEHEADED?
DOING WHAT ? FOR THEIR TESTIMONY AND PROCLAIMING THE WORD OF GOD

BEHEADED FOR THE RIGHT REASON AND MOTIVE
TWO KEY ACTIONS OF FAITH –
TESTIMONY – TELL YOUR STORY OF BEING REDEEMED
PROCLAIM WHAT IT IS TRUE – THE WORD OF GOD AND NOT OF MAN
HOW TO PROCLAIM IF NOT BEING BELIEVER AND DOER OF THE WORD?

They had not worshiped the beast or his statue, nor accepted his mark on their foreheads or their hands. They all came to life again, and they reigned with Christ for a thousand years.

THESE ARE THOSE WHO CAME ALIVE AGAIN TO REIGN WITH JESUS FOR 1000 YEARS

ARE THESE ALL THE SAINTS OR ONLY THOSE WHO DID NOT WORSHIP THE BEAST , DID NOT ACCEPT THE MARK ON THEIR FOREHEADS OR THEIR HANDS?

This is the first resurrection. (The rest of the dead did not come back to life until the thousand years had ended.)

THESE ARE THE THE FIRST ONES FROM THE FIRST RESURRECTION

Blessed and holy are those who share in the first resurrection.

WHAT A JOY AND PRIVILEGE OF THOSE WHO SHARE IN THE FIRST RESURRECTION
THERE IS NO JUDGEMENT OR CONDEMNATION TO THESE

For them the second death holds no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him a thousand years.

WHO ARE THEY? THEY ARE THE PRIESTS OF GOD –
THESE ARE THE ONES WHO STANDS BEFORE HIM IN HOLYNIESS, CARRIES HIS PRESENCE AND GLORY AND DECLARES BLESSING OVER THE PEOPLE –
THESE ARE THOSE WHO KNOW THE THOUGHTS AND WAYS OF GOD WHO WILL REIGN FOR A THOUSAND YEARS AMONG HUMANITY ON EARTH WITHOUT SATANS DECEIT

When the thousand years come to an end, Satan will be let out of his prison. He will go out to deceive the nations—called Gog and Magog—in every corner of the earth.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN AFTER 1000 YEARS ?
WILL HUMANITY BE GRATEFUL YIELDED SATISFIED IN LOVE FOR JESUS, WITH THE LEADERSHIP AND REIGN?
WILL THERE STILL BE PEOPLE YOUNG OR OLD WITH HARD HEARTS NOT GIVING TO THE LOVER OF OUR SOULS ON THOSE FINAL DAYS BEFORE SATAN IS RELEASED TO DECEIVE THEM AGAIN AGAINST JESUS AND HIS PRIESTS?
WHAT WILL SATAN’s LIE THIS TIME?
WILL HE SAY WHAT HE TOLD EVE IN THE GARDEN THAT DISOBEYING ORDER OF GOD IS NOT A BAD THING OR THAT HE HAS A BETTER INDEPENDENT IDEA AND FUTURE WITHOUT JESUS? OR BEING AS JESUS IN POWER AND AUTHORITY?

WHY WOULD PEOPLE LISTEN TO SATAN AND BE DECEIVED BY HIS LIES?

WOULD HE FIND HEARTS THAT ARE COMPLACENT WITH THE EASY COMFORTABLE LIFE DURING THOSE 1000 YEARS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS AND PEACE IN ALL THE EARTH?

THE HEART OF MAN IS CORRUPTED AND CURIOUS FOR NEW THINGS SINCE ADAM AND EVE FALL TO SIN – THE HEART IS LEANED TOWARDS EVIL AND NOT GOOD EVEN DURING THOSE BLESSING YEARS AND SATAN KNOWS THAT

AND ONLY BEING BORN AGAIN WALKING AND LIVING IN THE SPIRIT KNOWING THE TRUTH OF GODS LOVE TO RESIST SATANS PROPOSAL

He will gather them together for battle—a mighty army, as numberless as sand along the seashore.

A GREAT GATHERING OF HUMANITY WILL NOT BE SATISFIED SAYING JESUS AND HIS KINGSHIP IS NOT ENOUGH

ON EXCHANGE FOR WHAT? TO A LIE OF A BETTER OR DIFFERENT RULE – APPEAL FOR YOU TO REIGN YOURSELVES YOU HAVE POWER YOURSELVES HUMANITY DESIRES AND WISHES

And I saw them as they went up on the broad plain of the earth and surrounded God’s people and the beloved city.

HUMANITY WILL COME AGAINST ISRAEL AGAIN WHERE GODS PEOPLE WILL BE PRESENT – THEY WILL SURROUND THEM TO KILL BELIEVING ON SATANS LIES THAT BY DESTROYING THEM A NEW ERA WILL START OF TOTAL INDEPENDENCE AND FREEDOM OF THE SOUL TO DO WHAT EVER THE SOUL DESIRES

But fire from heaven came down on the attacking armies and consumed them.

CONSUMING FIRE WILL BE THE ANSWER FROM HEAVEN FROM ALL THOSE WHO CHOSES TO BE ON SATANS SIDE

FOR WHAT? FOR A LIE? TO LIVE ETERNALLY IN THE LAKE OF FIRE ?

ONLY A DECEIVED HARD HEARTED. PERSON WOULD DO SO – AND FOR SUCH PEOPLE THERE IS NO SPACE IN HEAVEN

THE LAKE OF FIRE WAS SET FOR ALL EVIL SATAN DEMONIC SPIRITS – BUT MANY OF HUMANITY DECIDED TO JOIN THEM FROM THEIR OWN FREE WILL TO BELIEVE AND ACT IN A LIE

WHO THINKS GOD IS NOT SEEING EVERYTHING THAT IT IS HAPPENING?
ONLY THOSE WHO ARE BLIND AND DO NOT HAVE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE SON OF GOD

God IS THE ONE WHO GAVE PERMISSION TO RELEASE SATAN FROM THOSE HEAVY CHAINS -AND PERMISSION WAS GRANTED FOR GOD CREATED HUMAN BEING WITH THE GIFT OF CHOICE – FREELY CHOOSE WHAT TO DO WITH THEIR LIVES – SINCE CREATION MAN AND WOMAN CAN FREELY CHOOSE LIFE OR DEATH – GOD WANTS CHILDREN THAT CHOOSE ETERNAL LIFE WITH HIM BUT HE WILL NOT FORCE ANYONE – HE WANTS FREE WILL PEOPLE WHO CHOOSE TO BE WITH HIM AND HIS SON IN THE ETERNITY.

Then the devil, who had deceived them, was thrown into the fiery lake of burning sulfur, joining the beast and the false prophet.

SATAN DECEIVED HUMANITY AGAIN AND IT WILL JOIN WITH HIS AGENTS AND THEY WILL BE TORMENTED FOREVER

There they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.

And I saw a great white throne and the one sitting on it.

AFTER ALL THIS VICTORIOUS BATTLE JOHN SAW SOMETHING AMAZING
A GREAT HUGE WHITE PURE THRONE AND JESUS SITTING ON IT –
HE CONQUERED DEATH AT THE RESURRECTION AND HE RECEIVED ALL OF HE AUTHORITY IN HEAVEN AND EARTH.

SATAN WAS DEFEATED AT THE RESURRECTION, BEFORE THE 1000 YEARS AND NOW AFTER 1000 – WHOEVER JOINS HIM AND AGREED WITH HIS LIES WILL EXPERIENCE DEFEAT AT THE END

The earth and sky fled from his presence, but they found no place to hide.

WHAT HAPPEN WITH EARTH AND 1 HEAVEN? THEY VANISHED – NO MORE

I saw the dead, both great and small, standing before God’s throne. And the books were opened, including the Book of Life.

JOHN SAW THE END WHERE ALL DEAD SOULS STANDING BEFORE BEFORE THE THRONE OD GOD.

WHAT HAPPENED?
BOOKS WERE OPEN AND THE BOOK OF LIFE AS WELL

And the dead were judged according to what they had done, as recorded in the books.

ALL WHAT HUMI ITY EXISTENCE, ITS DOING IN LIFE IN THE EARTH WAS WRITTEN ON BOOKS BY THE ANGELS. THE JUDGEMENT OF GOD WAS BASED IN WHAT IT WAS WRITTEN OF THE FREE WILL, THOUGHTS AND DEEDS OF ALL.

THE BOOK OF LIFE CONTAINS THE NAMES OF ALL OF THOSE BORN AGAIN – WHO BELIEVED AND ACCEPTED GODS LOVE AND FORGIVENESS

THE BOOKS HAD THE WRITTEN WORDS OF THEIR ACTIONS OF A LIFE OF FAITH AND THEY RECEIVED THEIR REWARD

The sea gave up its dead, and death and the grave gave up their dead.

And all were judged according to their deeds.

NO ONE ESCAPED – THE SEA AND ALL THE GRAVES GAVE UP THEIR DEADS – ALL JUDGED ACCORDING TO THEIR DEEDS

Then death and the grave were thrown into the lake of fire. This lake of fire is the second death. And anyone whose name was not found recorded in the Book of Life was thrown into the lake of fire.”

DEATH AND ALL EVIL SPIRITs WERE THROWN INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE – THIS IS THE SECOND DEATH AFTER JUDGEMENT GOING INTO ETERNITY.

ONLY THOSE WHO WERE FOUND IN THE BOOK OF LIFE DID NOT GO TO THE LAKE OF FIRE – THEY BELING TO JESUS AND THERE IS A PLACE PREPARED FOR THEM IN ETERNITY

‭‭Revelation‬ ‭20:1-15‬ ‭NLT‬‬

——————————

CHAPTER 21

AFTER ALL THIS BATTLE AND EARTH DESTRUCTION, WHAT DID JOHN SEE?
“Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the old heaven and the old earth had disappeared.

THE CURRENT HEAVEN WITH ALL ITS GALAXIES VANISHED
HOW? GOD WHO CREATED IT JUST TURNED THE PAGE
WHAT HAPPEN IN ITS PLACE? – THERE WAS NO VOID

And the sea was also gone.

NO MORE WATER NO MORE FIRSR CREATION

And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven like a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.

JOHN SAW THE SAINTS – SHINNING LIKE A BEAUTIFUL BRIDE DRESSED FOR HER HUSBAND COMING DOWN FROM GOD

I heard a loud shout from the throne, saying, “Look, God’s home is now among his people!

A LOUD VOICE APPEAR FROM THE THRONE – WOULD IT BE FROM AN ANGEL OR FROM ONE OF THE ANCIENT ONES?
WHAT WAS THE VOICE PROCLAIMING?
WHAT IS SO IMPORTANT TO BE SPOKEN ABOUT?

GODS DWELLING AND HIS GLORIOUS THRONE IS AMONG HIS PEOPLE NOW
THIS WAS NOT THERE UNTIL ALL THINGS HAD PASSED AS HIS WORD IS FOREVER FAITHFUL AND TRUE

He will live with them, and they will be his people. God himself will be with them.

WHAT IS SO SPECIAL HERE?
GOD SPIRIT CONSUMING FIRE WILL BE WITH HIS PEOPLE EVEN MORE THAN HE WAS WITH ADAM AND EVE BEFORE THE FALL

FELLOWSHIP IN TRUTH AND HONOR WILL BE FOREVER

He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain.

ALL THE TEARS OF LOST AND PAIN WILL BE WIPED BY HIS LOVE
ALL THE TEARS OF DISAPPOINTMENTS HE WILL REMOVE
NO MORE DEATH OR PAIN FOREVER – NO IDEA OR FELLING OF SUCH THING

All these things are gone forever.”

And the one sitting on the throne said, “Look, I am making everything new!”

JESUS SPEAKS TO JOHN – HE IS THE WORD OF GOD WHO MAKES ALL THINGS NEW

And then he said to me, “Write this down, for what I tell you is trustworthy and true.”

JOHN WAS TOLD TO LOOK AND THEN TO WRITE
JOHN DID NOT ONLY LIFE STEN TO THE VOICE – HE SAW JESUS DOING ALL THINGS NEW
IT IS IMPORTANT TO WRITE FOR IT IS TRUE AND TRUSTWORTHY

And he also said, “It is finished! I am the Alpha and the Omega—the Beginning and the End.

WHAT DID JESUS ALSO SAY TO JOHN?
ALL THINGS OF THIS WORLD HAS PASSED – IT IS FINISHED
WHO IS LORD JESUS TO SAY THAT IT IA FINISHED?
HE IS THE FIRST WORD AND LAST WORD OF GOD THAT IT IS ETERNAL
HE IS THE BEGINNING AND THE END OF ALL THAT IS BEING CREATED AS NEW OR SOMETHING THAT IS THE END OF EXISTENCE EVEN BEFORE SOMETHING NEW OR OLD IS CREATED

To all who are thirsty I will give freely from the springs of the water of life.

WHAT IS JESUS GIVING FOR FREE ?
WHO ARE THOSE WHO JESUS IS GIVING FOR FREE?
WHY IS THE SPRING OF LIVING WATER BEING GIVEN FOR FREE?

HE IS THE BEGINNING AND THE END – HE IS ALL WHO DESERVES ALL GLORY
HE IS THE ONE WHO HAS ALL THINGS
HE IS THE GIVER OF ETERNAL LIFE

AND HUMAN BEINGS? WHO ARE THEY?
THEY ARE NOT THE BEGINNING AND END WITHOUT HIM
THEY ARE NOT THE ONES WHO CAN GIVE ETERNAL LIFE
THEY ARE THE ONES WHO WITHOUT JESUS HAS NOTHING TO GIVE

THEY ARE THE THE THIRSTY ONES BELIEVE IT OR NOT
THEY ARE THE ONES WHO WERE DESIGNED TO BE HUNGRY FOR ETERNAL LIFE – HUNGRY FOR THE TRUTH,PURPOSE AND DESIRE
THEY ARE BORN TO BE THIRSTY AND DIE BEING THIRSTY FOR MORE OF JESUS
THET ARE THE ONES DESIGNED TO BE HUNGRY TO RECEIVE WHAT IS BEING GIVEN FOR FREE
THEY ARE THE ONES WHO LACK THE SPRING OF LIVING WATER
ETERNAL LIFE IS GIVEN IS TO BE A HUNGRY PERSON

HE IS THE GIVER OF ETERNAL LIVE – HE CAME TO EARTH TO GIVE AND NEVER HOLD BACK
WHAT IS BEING GIVING IN RESPONSE FOR THE THIRST?
SPRING OF WATER OF LIFE
WATER THAT NEVER STOPS FLOWING FOR IT IS A SPRING NOT A LAKE
WATER THAT DOES NOT HAVE DEATH IN IT BUT ETENAL LIFE

WHAT CAN MEN BE THIRST ABOUT THE MOST?
THIRST FOR ETERNAL LIFE? FOR THE TRUTH OF BEING ALIVE?
THIRST FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS ? JUSTICE?
WHO WILL BE SATISFIED ? THOSE WHO ARE HUNGRY AND THIRSTY FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS MAT 5

JESUS GIVES LIVING WATER FOR ETERNAL LIFE

IS THERE SOMETHING MORE IMPORTANT THEN TO DRINK FROM THE SPRING OF LIVING WATER?

HE GIVES IT TO ALL WHO HAS SOMETHING IMPORTANT IN ORDER TO RECEIVE?

WHAT IS THE CONDITION OR CRITERIA TO RECEIVE FOR WHAT HE IS GIVING?

HE GIVES UNDER WHAT CIRCUMSTANCES?
IS IT MONEY THAT PERISHES?
IS IT SELF CONFIDENCE OR SELF EFFORT TO ACHIEVE THIS GIFT?
IS THERE SOMETHING THAT MAN CAN DO TO DESERVE WHAT JESUS IS GIVING?

ONLY ONE CONDITION THAT QUALIFIES TO RECEIVE WHAT JESUS IS GIVING
BE THIRSTY? WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
IT IS TO CHOOSE TO RECOGNIZE THAT HE IS ALL AND THAT WITHOUT WHAT HE GIVING HUMAN BEINGS ARE NOTHING
IT IS TO YIELD TO REPENT AND TO BE HUMBLE HEART TO RECEIVE SUCH GREAT SALVATION

THIRST MEAIG
: a sensation of dryness in the mouth and throat associated with a desire for liquids
also : the bodily condition (as of dehydration) that induces this sensation
: a desire or need to DRINK
: an ardent desire : CRAVING, LONGING

HOW CAN MAN BE THIRSTY TO RECEIVE?
WHO PRODUCES THE THIRST IN THE HEART OF MAN?
WHAT IS UP TO HUMAN HEART TO ACT UPON TO QUALIFY TO BE BE THIRSTY AND RECEIVE WHAT JESUS IS GIVING?

MAN HAS ONE SPECIAL GIFT GOD GAVE HIM THAT INITIATES MAN TO BE THIRSTY AND RECEIVE JESUS GIFT OF ETERNAL LIFE
IT IS CALLED FREE WILL
HUMAN BEING IS NOT A ROBOT. – MAN HAS FREE WILL – HE CAN CHOOSE AND ONLY HE CAN DECIDE WHAT TO CHOOSE OR DECIDE OR SEEK

THE THIRSTY PERSON HERE IS THE ONE WHO
CHOOSES TO RECOGNIZE THAT HE IS ALL AND THAT WITHOUT WHAT HE GIVING HUMAN BEINGS ARE NOTHING
BELIEVES AND RECEIVES WHAT IT OS BEING GIVEN FOR FREE
YIELDS REPENTS AND HUMBLES TO RECEIVE SUCH GREAT SALVATION

JESUS OFFERS FREE ETERNAL LIFE WITH HIM BUT IT IS TO MAN TO BELIEVE AND RECEIVE WHAT JESUS IS GIVING

JESUS DOES NOT FORCE ANYONE TO RECEIVE WHAT IS BEING GIVEN FREELY

HUMAN BEING CAN DECIDE TO CHOOSE TO GO AFTER GOD OR NOT
HUMAN BEING CAN DECIDE TO CHOOSE TO BELIEVE AND RECEIVE OR NOT THE WORDS OF JESUS THAT HE IS THE GIVER OF SPRING OF LIVING WATER

HUMAN BEING CAN DECIDE TO CHOOSE TO REPENT AND ASK JESUS TO BE HIS LORD AND SAVIOR OR NOT

HUMAN BEING CAN DECIDE TO CHOOSE TO ASK JESUS TO GIVE HIM THIRST FOR WHAT JESUS IS OFFERING

GOD NEVERS VIOLATES OR GOES AGAINST HIS WORD – AS PAINFUL AS IT CAN BE GOD CREATED AND GAVE MAN HIS OR HER OWN WILL TO DECIDE WHAT TO BELIEVE AND TO RECEIVE
PAINFUL BECAUSE HE SEES HUMAN BEINGS MAKING THE WRONG CHOICES BUT HE WILL RESPECT THEIR DECISIONS

IF HE OR SHE FROM FREE WILL DENIES JESUS AND HIS WORD JESUS SAID HE WILL ALSO DENY HE OR SHE BEFORE THE FATHER

WHAT ELSE CAN WE ASK OR MEDITATE HERE ? LET THE LIST OF QUESTIONS CONTINUE FROM YOUR HEART
I BELIEVE GOD HAS PLEASURE OF ANSWERING EACH ONE OF THEM
HE DESIRES US TO SEARCH FOR THE TRUTH AND NEVER GIVE UP OR STOP QUESTIONING HIM
HOW CAN TRUTH BE REVEALED IF THERE IS NO SEARCH OR THIRST TO KNOW THE TRUTH?

All who are victorious will inherit all these blessings, and I will be their God, and they will be my children. “

WHO ARE THE VICTORIOUS ONES?
THOSE WHO BY FREE WILL BELIEVE AND RECEIVE THE WORD OF JESUS
THOSE WHO ARE LISTENERS AND DOERS OF THE WORD OF GOD

WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE VICTORIOUS ONES
THEY WILL RECEIVE INHERITANCE
OF WHAT? ALL THE BLESSINGS THAT NO ONE CAN IMAGINE HOW WONDERFUL AND GREAT THEY ARE – NO WORDS CAN DESCRIBE SUCH BLESSINGS – NOT ONE BUT MANY

But cowards, unbelievers, the corrupt, murderers, the immoral, those who practice witchcraft, idol worshipers, and all liars—their fate is in the fiery lake of burning sulfur.

THIS FATE IS TERRIBLE PLACE OF PAIN DUE TO FIRE OF SULFUR – SMELL IS UNBEARABLE

This is the second death.”
NOT PHYSICAL BUT THE SOUL IN THE LAKE OF FIRE OF SULFUR

WHAT HAPPENED THEN ?

Then one of the seven angels who held the seven bowls containing the seven last plagues came and said to me, “

ONE OF THE SEVEN ANGELS (WHO HELD THE SEVEN BOWLS ) CAME TO JOHN TO GIBE A MESSAGE AND TO GO HIM

Come with me! I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.”

ANGEL WAS ORDED TO SHOW JOHN SOMETHING VERY UNIQUE
WHAT WAS THAT SO SPECIAL FOR JOHN TO SEE?
THE BRIDE – NOT ONLY THE BRIDE BUT THE WIFE OF JESUS (LAMB THAT RESCUED HER BY HIS BLOOD)

So he took me in the Spirit to a great, high mountain, and he showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God.

HOW DID HE GO WITH THE ANGEL?
TOOK HIM IN THE SPIRIT
WHERE WAS THE BRIDE?
HIGH MOUNTAIN – SAFE LOCATION
THE BRIDE WAS A HOLY CITY JERUSALEM DESCENDING FROM HEAVEN
TO WHERE TO THE EARTH
THE BRIDE WAS A CITIZEN OF HEAVEN

It shone with the glory of God and sparkled like a precious stone—like jasper as clear as crystal.

THE GLORY OF GOD WAS OVER R THE CITY – SHINNING BRIGHT AS JASPER WHITE AS CRYSTAL

WHY JASPER? HOLD THAT THOUGHT

The city wall was broad and high, with twelve gates guarded by twelve angels.

THE CITY WAS LARGE SEATED HIGH PLACE
WHY 12 GATES? WHAT WERE THEIR NAMES AND MEANING?
WHY THEY NEEDED TO BE GUARDED?

And the names of the twelve tribes of Israel were written on the gates. There were three gates on each side—east, north, south, and west.

THE GATE NAMES WERE THE NAMES OF WACH TRIBE OF ISRAEL

NUMBER 12

The meaning of 12, which is considered a perfect number, is that it symbolizes God’s power and authority, as well as serving as a perfect governmental foundation. It can also symbolize completeness or the nation of Israel as a whole.

Christ called and choose twelve men to bear witness to what he did and to spread the good news of the gospel to the entire world.
Twelve thousand from each tribe of Israel (144,000 total) will receive salvation during the end time’s Great Tribulation (Revelation 7).
A set of 144,000 (12 x 12,000), possibly the same as those in chapter 7, will be taken from earth in order to serve and follow the Lamb of God (Revelation 14:1 – 5). Christ’s bride in Revelation 12, the church, wears a crown containing twelve stars.

The wall of the city had twelve foundation stones, and on them were written the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

THE CHURCH IS FOUNDED ON THE APOSTLE AND PROPHETS

Eph 2:20 Together, we are his house, built on the foundation of the apostles and the prophets. And the cornerstone is Christ Jesus himself.Together, we are his house, built on the foundation of the apostles and the prophets. And the cornerstone is Christ Jesus himself.

The angel who talked to me held in his hand a gold measuring stick to measure the city, its gates, and its wall.

WHAT AND WHY DID THE ANGEL HAVE IN HIS HAND?
STICK MADE OF GOLD
TO MEASURE WHAT? THE CITY GATES AND WALL
WAS IT NECESSARY TO MEASURE ALL THESE AREAS OF THE CITY?
FOR WHAT PURPOSE?

IT WAS MEASURED FOR AP JOHN TO REPORT ITS SIGNIFICANCE

When he measured it, he found it was a square, as wide as it was long. In fact, its length and width and height were each 1,400 miles. Then he measured the walls and found them to be 216 feet thick (according to the human standard used by the angel).

WHY DID THE ANGEL MEASURE THE CITY AND WALL AND SHOWED JOHN?
WHY DID JOHN NEED TO SEE IT TO REPORT IT?

JESUS IS THE MAIN CORNER STONE – IN HIM THERE IS PERFECTION AND HE IS PERFECTION – ALL THE FOUNDATION AND STRUCTURE OF A LIFE OF HOPE, FAITH AND LOVE ACCORDING TO HIS WORD IS MADE OF PERFECTION – HIS WORD SPEAKING OF HIS OWN – NEW CITY – IS MEASURED BY THE ANGEL

THE CITY WAS CHRIST WITH THE CHURCH IN IT MADE OF NEW BORN ONES HUMAN BEINGS LIKE JESUS IN THE FLESH FOLLOWED BY HUMAN MEASUREMENT STANDARD

The wall was made of jasper, and the city was pure gold, as clear as glass.

THE WALL – EXTERNAL IT IS WHAT YOU SEE FIRST WAS MADE OF JASPER
CITY INTERIOR WiAS GOLD PURIFIED CLEAN AS CLAS NO CONTAMINATION BUT WASHED BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB

WHY JASPER AND NOT ANOTHER CRSTAL OR MINERAL? LIKE SILVER OR DIAMOND
WHAY IS JASPER MADE OF ?

JASPER IS aggregate of microgranular quartz and/or chalcedony and other mineral phases, is an opaque, impure variety of silica, usually red, yellow, brown or green in color; and rarely blue. The common red color is due to iron(III) inclusions

It often contains an abundance of impurities, and therefore some regard it as a rock instead of a mineral.

The name means “spotted or speckled stone

Flinders Petrie (3 June 1853 – 28 July 1942), commonly known as Flinders Petrie, was an English Egyptologist and a pioneer of systematic methodology in archaeology and preservation of artifacts suggested that the odem, the first stone on the High Priest’s breastplate, was a red jasper, whilst tarshish, the tenth stone, may have been a yellow jasper

OPAQUE BROWN REDISH DUE TO IRON
THIS JASPER LIKE VIEW DID NOT HAVE IRON BUT IT WAS PURED AS CRYSTAL
IT WAS JASPER SINCE IT IS A DIVERSITY OF MICRO GRANULAR QUARTZ GONE THRU PRESSURE SEVERAL MINERALS LIKE THE HUMAN RACE

IMAGE HAD LEGS MADE OF IRON – NABUCODONOZOR DREAM
ROMAN EMPIRE DIVIDED IN TWO

WHAT ROMAN EMPIRE DID OR BRING TO SOCIETY ?
THEY FOCUSED ON HUMAN POTENTIAL OF CREATION OF IDEAS TO OBTAIN AND KEEP GREATER POWER IN THE SOCETY

http://www.danxner.com/extramaterials/art003/Final_Project/Influences.htm

Creation of law
development of democratic government practices,
During the era of the Roman Republic (509 to 49 BC), lawmaking was a bicameral activity. Legislation was first passed by the comitia
Romans had indictments and jury trials, similar to today’s practices. Many defense techniques currently employed can also be traced back to Roman procedures. The idea of “innocent until proven guilty,” which underlies the United States ‘ criminal justice system, also came from ancient Roman ideas. Also, the purpose of written law as a way to protect individuals from one another and from the power of the state is an inherently Roman idea.
influences in language,
literature,
art,
infrastructure, and
city-planning are all areas where the influences of Roman ideas can be seen. Additionally, Roman influences have had considerable importance in the spread of Christianity.

The wall of the city was built on foundation stones inlaid with twelve precious stones: the first was jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald, the fifth onyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, the twelfth amethyst.

FOUNDATION OF THE WALL HAD 12 STONES

WHAT IS SPECIAL ABOUT THESE STONES?
WHAT DOES THE OLD TESTAMENT SAY ABOUT THESE STONES?

In Exodus 28:15-21, it is of the precious stones in the high priest’s breast-piece

WHY DID THE HIGH PRIEST WOULD WEAR SUCH BREAST- PIECE?

DIVERSITY OF COLOR AND COMPOSITION ?
THEY ARE PRODUCT OF WHAT GOD CREATED ON EARTH – REFLECTION OF HEAVEN

BEYOND HEALING BELIEFS OF HUMAN IDOLATRY , WHAT DO THEY MEAN ?
WHAT IS THEIR IMPORTANCE

“He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls ” Prov 25:28

THEY ARE THE FOUNDATION OF SOMETHING – WHAT?
THEY WERE PART OF THE FOUNDATION NOT OF THE CITY BUT OF THE WALLS OF THE NEW JERUSALEM
WHAT IS THE IMPORTANCE OF A WALL OF A CITY?
THE WALL WAS BUILT OF JASPER. AND THE OTHERS STONES WERE PART OF THE FOUNDATION OF THE WALL – JASPER WAS PLACED ON TOP OF SUCH FOUNDATION OF PRECIOUS STONES
WHY JASPER AND NOT ANY OTHER STONE? WHY NOT DIAMOND ?
IS THE ANSWER RELATED TO THE COMPOSITION OF THE STONE?

IT IS A SHADOW OF GODS GLORY AND POWER

THE WALLS WERE MADE OF JASPER PURIFIED – LIGHT AS CRYSTALL
WITH LAYERS ON THE FOUNDATION OF 12 PRECIOUS STONES

CHURCH IS FOUNDED IN THE DOCTRINES OF THE APOSTLES AND PROPHETS

WHAT ABOUT THE 12 GATES? WHAT WERE THEY MADE OF?

The twelve gates were made of pearls—each gate from a single pearl!

WHAT ARE THESE GATES CALLED?
WHAT DO GATES REPRESENT?
WHAT ARE THEY MADE OF?

EACH GATE IS MADE OF ONE SINGLE PEARL
IT IS A GIANT PEAL WITH AN ENTRANCE DOOR IN THE MIDDLE

WHAT IS A PEARL MADE OFF?
A pearl is a hard glistening object produced within the soft tissue of a living shelled mollusk or another animal, such as a conulariid. Just like the shell of a mollusk, a pearl is composed of calcium carbonate in minute crystalline form, which has been deposited in concentric layers.

WHY ARE THESE GATES MADE OF PEARL AND NOT WOOD OR OTHER MATERIAL?

GOD IS A CONSUMING FIRE
JESUS BAPTIZE HIS OWN BY FIRE
ALL MATERIALS THAT CANNOT STAND FIRE LIKE IRON AND WOOD ARE CONSUMED – NOT ACCEPTED

WHY THE GATES NEEDED TO BE MADE OF PEARL AND NOT OF STONE OR ANOTHER MATERIAL? WHAT IS PEARL,MADE,OF?

PEARL HAS LAYERS GROWN THROUGH TIME OF BEING PROVEN TESTED EXPERIENCED SUFFERING AND PAIN – THERE IS NO PEARL WITHOUT TIME AND SUFFERING

THESE ARE GIANT PEALS GROWN BY TIME GOING THROUGH PROCESS OF SUFFERING AND PAIN BEING STORED SAFE UNTIL TIMES COME TO BE SET AT THE GATE FOR ENTRANCE – NOTHING THAT IS NOT PURE AND APPROVED BY FIRE ENTERS THROUGH IT

JESUS IS THE GATE – HE ENTERED IN CHRONO TIME AND OBEDIENCE AND SUFFERING HE BECAME THE DOOR OF PEAR – THIS IS NOT BY ACCIDENT BUT BECAUSE HE EMPTY HIMSELF BECAME MEN AND LEARNED COMPLETE OBEDIENCE AND PERFECTED BY BEING TESTED EXPERIENCING PAIN – NOT THAT HE WAS NOT OBEDIENT OR PERFECT – HE WAS BUT HE NEEDED TO GO THROGH EXPERIENCE MUCH PAIN AND SUFFERING TO BE PERFECTED- HIS COMPLETE OBEDIENCE AND PERFECT FITTING WAS TESTED AND COMPLETE
HOW COULD HE EMPATHIZE WITH HUMAN SUFFERING WITHOUT HE HIMSELF GO THROUGH THE FIRES OF LIFE

BY BEING TESTED IN TIME TO ACHIEVE COMPLETE OBEDIENCE ( PERFECTED FITTING ) HE ALSO CREATED LAYERS OF TESTIMONY AND MARKS OF HIS SUFFERING ON THE CROSS LIKE THE PEARL AS IT GROWS

WHAT DO THESE GATES REPRESENT? MEAN?

DOORS – PASS-WAY FROM ONE REALITY TO ANOTHER

JESUS SAYS HE IS THE DOOR – HE IS THE ONLY GATE WAY TO THE FATHER
HE IS THE KEEPER AND PROTECTION OF HIS FLOCK WHERE NO ENEMY ENTERS TO KILL ROB OR DESTROY AS THROUGH JESUS THE DOOR HIS FLOCK ARE SAFE AND FIND ALL THEY NEED – GREEN PASTURE NOT DRY OR LACK BUT GREEN READY FOR PROVISION

“I am the gate. If anyone enters through Me, he will be saved. He will come in and go out and find pasture” Joh 10:9

“Jesus is both our Shepherd and the Door to the sheepfold who provides for all our needs. Knowing that the world is full of predators whose sole intent is to destroy us (1 Peter 5:8), we are always under His protection. More importantly, we are fully confident that “when the Chief Shepherd appears, [we] will receive the crown of glory that does not fade away” (1 Peter 5:4).”

GATE IS THE:

PLACE – PART OF PROTECTION OF A CITY
PLACE WHERE WISDOM WAS DISPLAYED – WHY?

PLACE OF AUTHORITY – DECISION PLACE OF MAKING AND JUDGEMENT

PLACE OF “important business transactions were made, court was convened, and public announcements”
PLACE OF “examine the evidence and pass judgment ” LAW OF MOSES EVIL SON

PLACE OF “legal matters related to Boaz marriage to Ruth were settled.”

“To control the gates of one’s enemies was to conquer their city. Part of Abraham’s blessing from the Lord was the promise that “your offspring shall possess the gate of his enemies” (Genesis 22:17).

When Jesus promised to build His Church, He said, “The gates of Hades will not overcome it” (Matthew 16:18). An understanding of the biblical implications of “gates” helps us interpret Jesus’ words. Since a gate was a place where rulers met and counsel was given, Jesus was saying that all the evil plans of Satan himself would never defeat the Church.”
SINCE HE IS THE GATE OF AUTHORITY

WHAT HAPPENS THROUGH THE GATES?
JESUS FLOCK ” will come in and go out and find pasture” Joh 10:9

WHY COME IN AND OUT THROUGH THE GATES?
LIFE JOURNEY CHALLENGES AND ACTIVITY – BUT WITH ONE PROMISE – GOING IN OR GOING OUT THERE IS ALWAYS PASTURE PROVISION PROVIDED TO BE FOUND TO THE SOUL OF MEN

“First, they shall go safely wherever they find necessary; and, next, they shall be fed to the full. By going in and out, Scripture often denotes all the actions of the life, as we say in French, aller et venir, (to go and come,) [287] which means, to dwell These words, therefore, present to us a twofold advantage of the Gospel, that our souls shall find pasture in it, which otherwise become faint and famished, and are fed with nothing but wind; and, next, because he will faithfully protect and guard us against the attacks of wolves and robbers.”

GATE SYMBOLIZES DEFINED IN THE WORD

RIGHTEOUSNESS
Psalm 118:19
Open to me the gates of righteousness; I shall enter through them, I shall give thanks to the LORD.

PRAISE AND THANKSGIVING,
Isa 60:18
No longer will violence be heard in your land, nor ruin or destruction within your borders, but you will call your walls Salvation and your gates of praise

WHO IS ALLOWED TO ENTER THROUGH THE THESE GATES?

KING OF GLORY
Psalm 24:9
Lift up your heads, O gates, And lift them up, O ancient doors, That the King of glory may come in!

THANKFUL HEART OF PRAISE
Psalm 100:4
Enter his gates with thanksgiving; go into his courts with praise. Give thanks to him and praise his name.

ONLY FAITHFUL AND RIGHTEOUS ONE
Isaiah 26:2
“Open the gates, that the righteous nation may enter, The one that remains faithful.

WHAT CAUSES THE GATE OF REVELATION – THE EAST SIDE TO OPEN – (EAST – REVELATION)
FREE WILL OF LIVING SACRIFICE BEING OFFERED
Ezekiel 46:12
“When the prince provides a freewill offering, a burnt offering, or peace offerings as a freewill offering to the LORD, the gate facing east shall be opened for him And he shall provide his burnt offering and his peace offerings as he does on the sabbath day. Then he shall go out, and the gate shall be shut after he goes out.

Acts 12:10
When they had passed the first and second guard, they came to the iron gate that leads into the city, which opened for them by itself; and they went out and went along one street, and immediately the angel departed from him.

Isaiah 60:11
“Your gates will be open continually; They will not be closed day or night, So that men may bring to you the wealth of the nations, With their kings led in procession.

Nahum 2:6
The gates of the rivers are opened And the palace is dissolved.

Nahum 3:13
Behold, your people are women in your midst! The gates of your land are opened wide to your enemies; Fire consumes your gate bars.

Gates” can be used figuratively for the glory of a city (Isaiah 3:26; 14:31; Jeremiah 14:2; Lamentations 1:4; contrast Psalms 87:2), but whether the military force, the rulers or the people is in mind cannot be determined. In Matthew 16:18 “gates of Hades” (not “hell”) may refer to the hosts (or princes) of Satan, but a more likely translation is `the gates of the grave (which keep the dead from returning) shall not be stronger than it.’ The meaning in Judges 5:8,11 is very uncertain, and

The gate became a symbol of strength, power, and dominion (Ps. 24:7), but it was also the weakest point of defense (2 Chronicles 14:7, 26:9; 32:5; Psalm 48:12) and therefore heavily defended.
Watchtowers were built above the corners of the gates as lookout stations—places where watchmen could see pending danger and call the city to attention. At night the gates were shut, barred and protected (Joshua 2:5, 7; Nehemiah 7:3); secured by locks with big keys. To possess the gate was to possess the city! The children of Israel, the seed of Abraham, were promised power and dominion over the cities of their enemies (Genesis 22:17; 24:60)

NAMES OF THE GATES DURING CENTURIES – NEHEMIAH TIMES

The Sheep Gate, also known as Stephen’s Gate, or the Lions Gate (Nehemiah 3:1,32, 12:39), is located on the east wall, north of the Temple Mount. It is shown in the photograph at left.
The Fish Gate was an ancient gate on the east wall, just west of the Gihon spring, where men gathered to sell fish, sometimes in violation of the Sabbath (2 Chronicles 33:14, Nehemiah 3:3, 13:16). It may be the same as the Middle Gate (Jeremiah 39:3).

The Old Gate, or Jeshanah Gate, was located at the northwest corner of the city during the time of Nehemiah, near the location of the present-day Holy Sepulcher (Nehemiah 3:6)

The Valley Gate, overlooked the Kidron Valley (Nehemiah 3:13)

The Beautiful Gate, near the Temple Mount, where Peter healed a crippled man “in The Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth” (Acts 3:1-10)

The Golden Gate was located on the east wall adjacent to the Temple Mount. Originally constructed by the Byzantines, it was later sealed by Muslims to “block the future path of the Messiah into Jerusalem.”

The Dung Gate was one of the 12 or so gates that existed at the time of Nehemiah (Nehemiah 3:14). It was located at the southwest corner of the wall, and used for the disposal of garbage and dung. It led out to the Valley Of Hinnom. See also The Tyropoeon Valley.

The Fountain Gate was located at the southeast corner of the wall (Nehemiah 3:15).

The Zion Gate was on the south wall, overlooking Mount Zion. See also The Zion Bridge

The Water Gate (Nehemiah 3:26).

The Horse Gate was located between the Water Gate and the Sheep Gate (Nehemiah 3:28).

The East Gate (Nehemiah 3:29).

The Inspection Gate (Nehemiah 3:31).

The Jaffa Gate on the west wall.
The New Gate on the west wall just north of the Jaffa Gate.

The Damascus Gate on the north wall. Saul (later the apostle Paul) very possibly left the city through this gate on his fateful journey On The Road To Damascus.

Herod’s Gate on the north wall, just east of the Damascus Gate.

BEYOND THE WALLS (SALVATION) AND THE WALL (PRAISE) , WHAT DID EXIST INSIDE THE CITY ?

“And the main street was pure gold, as clear as glass. “

THERE IS A MAIN STREET MADE OF PURE GOLD WHERE THE SAINTS WALK ON IT

IT IS SO PURE THAT IT IS CLEAR AS CLASS

I saw no temple in the city, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.

NO TEMPLE – NO CONSTRUCTION LIKE THE TEMPLE OF SOLOMON

NO NEED FOR A TEMPLE FOR THE SON IS THE CENTER LIGHT OF THE CITY

“And the city has no need of sun or moon, for the glory of God illuminates the city, and the Lamb is its light. “

THERE IS LIGHT SHINNING AND IT IS NOT FROM THE SUN OR MOOM BUT FROM THE GLORY OF THE FATHER ILLUMINATES THE CITY – SON IN THE LIGHT

“The nations will walk in its light, and the kings of the world will enter the city in all their glory. Its gates will never be closed at the end of day because there is no night there. “

WHO WILL WALK IN THE LIGHT OF JESUS?
WHO WILL ENTER THE CITY?

NATIONS WHO BELONG TO HIM
KINGS WITH THEIR GLORY WILL BOW BEFORE HIM

NIGHT DOES NOT EXIST IN THE CITY – GLORY OF GOD KEEPS IT ILLIMINATED

“And all the nations will bring their glory and honor into the city. “

WHO WILL BRING WHAT?
NATIONS RESCUED BY HIS BLOOD WILL BRING THE GLORY AND HONOR THEY RECEIVED FROM THE FATHER INTO THE CITY
GLORY AND HONOR IS GIVEN FIRST BY GOD – NATIONS HAVE NOTHING WITHOUT HIM

NATIONS IN RETURN GIVE GLORY AND HONOR BACK TO THE ONE WHO GAVE FIRST AND WHO IS WORTHY OF ALL GLORY AND HONOR

“Nothing evil will be allowed to enter, nor anyone who practices shameful idolatry and dishonesty—“

THE WALLS OF THE CITY (SALVATION) AND THE GATES (PRAISE) ARE PROTECTION AGAINST :

ANY EVIL
SHAMEFUL IDOLATRY
DISHONESTY

NONE ENTERS THROUGH – THE LIGHT SHINES SO BRIGHT THAT ANY LIE OR HIDDEN SECRET IS DISCOVERED AND REJECTED
“but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.”

WHO CAN ENTER?

ONLY THOSE WHOSE NAME WRITTEN IN A SPECIAL BOOK – LAMBS BOOK OF LIFE

NAMES OF THOSE WHO BELIEVED, CONFESSED AND PERSEVERED UNTIL THE END

WHOSE NAMES ARE IN THE BOOK OF LIFE
THE ONES WHO ACHIEVED VICTORY BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB – RECOGNIZED THE POWER OF THE BLOOD AND THE CROSS
THE ONES WHO KEPT THE WORD OF THEIR TESTIMONY – DID NOT COMPROMISED THE TRUTH IN EXCHANGE FOR A LIE
THE ONES WHO DID NOT GAVE IN OR GAVE UP INTO FEAR OR TEMPTATION EVEN INTO DEATH OF THEIR NATURAL LIVES, BUT KEPT THEIR EYES ON THE PRICE. OF JESUS – THE SPRING OF LIVING WATER

‭‭Revelation‬ ‭21:1-27‬ ‭

——————-

CHAPTER 22

FUTURE REIGN

“Then the angel showed me a river with the water of life, clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb.

AFTER SHOWING THE AMAZING NEW JERUSALEM – HOLY CITY THE ANGEL HAD ONE MORE WONDERFUL FACTOR – A RIVER

THE SOURCE OF THIS RIVER IS FROM THE THRONE OF GOD AND OF THE LAMB
IT IS A SPRING OF LIVING WATER FLOWING CONTINUOS ETERNITY

It flowed down the center of the main street.

WHERE DID THIS RIVER OF WATER OF LIFE FLOW TO ? TO THE MAIN STREET MADE OF PURE GOLD AND CLEAR AS CRYSTAL RECEIVES THIS RIVER

WHY TO THE MAIN STREET? THE RIVER SHOULD BE IN TH CENTER OF ALL THIS BEAUTY. IT IS TO BE SEEN AND ACCESSED BY ALL – ALL CAN DRINK AS MUCH AS DESIRED – NO RESTRICTION

On each side of the river grew a tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, with a fresh crop each month. The leaves were used for medicine to heal the nations.

WHAT GREW ON EACH SIDE OF THE RIVER?
TREE OF LIFE AS ADAM SAW IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN
IT WAS PLANTED AND IT GREW I. TIME OF MATURITY
WHAT DID IT BEAR? HOW OFTEN WAS IT HARVESTED?
EACH MONTH A NEW FRESH GROP – WHY MONTHLY? WHY NOT WEEKLY?
30 DAYS
30 – NUMBER OF INITIATION OF MINISTRY – PRIESTHOOD
JOSEPH CALLED BY IN EGYPT
DAVID BECAME AT 30
JESUS STARTED MINISTRY WITH 30 YEARS
JOHN THE BAPTIST STARTED IN THE DESERT
JUDAH SOLD JESUS WITH 30 COINS

No longer will there be a curse upon anything.
NO MORE CURSE OF SEPARATION BETWEEN THE SON AND FATHER AND FATHER AND SON

For the throne of God and of the Lamb will be there,

NO MORE DISTANCE – THE THRONE OF GOD AND OF THE LAMB WILL BE IN THE MIDST

and his servants will worship him.

WHAT WILL HIS CHILDREN AND SERVANTS DO? WHAT IS LEFT TO DO IN HIS PRESENCE?
DO WHAT THE FATHER HAS BEEN SEARCHING IN HIS CREATION AND WILL – WORSHIP HIM – DELIGHT IN JOY IN THE PLEASURE OF HIS PRESENCE

And they will see his face, and his name will be written on their foreheads.

WHAT WILL THEY SEE ABOVE ALL? WHAT IS THERE TO SEE ABOVE ALL THINGS?

WHAT WILL THERE BE WRITTEN ON THEM? WHERE? WHY?
JESUS NAME – THEY WERE BOUGHT BY HIS BLOOD – PEOPLE ARE ONE UNDER ONE NAME
FOREHEADS – CLOSE TO THE EYES – AT THE TOP DOWN THEIR. MASTER IS JESUS
EVERY THOUGHT IS TAKEN CAPTIVE TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF JESUS

“The word church is identified by scholars as being derived from two original Greek words. One “kuriakon” means “belonging to the Lord”, the other “ecclesia” which means “the assembly called out by legitimate authority”. In Philadelphia the bridegroom calls for the marriage feast – declares that his people don’t belong to men’s churches, they “belong to me!” Now Jesus, as the one with the authority to do so, he calls them out of false church brides:”

And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father’s name written in their foreheads.” (Revelation 14:1)
“And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.” (Revelation 22:4)

And there will be no night there—no need for lamps or sun—for the Lord God will shine on them.

THE SOURCE OF LIGHT AND LIFE IS JESUS

And they will reign forever and ever.

THERE WILL BE NO END OF REIGNING WITH JESUS

WHAT WERE THE LAST WORDS OF THE ANGEL?
WHAT WERE JOHN LAST WORDS?

Then the angel said to me, “Everything you have heard and seen is trustworthy and true. The Lord God, who inspires his prophets, has sent his angel to tell his servants what will happen soon. ” “

THE ANGEL TOLS JOHN ALL HE SAW AND HEARD IS TRUE – NOT FAKE IMAGINATION

BECAUSE GOD IS THE INITIATOR AND THE ONE WHO QUICKENS THE SPIRIT OF MAN AND INSPIRES AND SPEAKSSPEAK TO AND THRU HIS PROPHETS

Look, I am coming soon!

HERE ARE THE WORDS OF JESUS
WHAT DOES HE SAY ABOVE ALL THINGS FIRST?
HE IS COMING SOON AS THE LION OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH
THAT HE IS EMMANUEL – HE DID NOT ABANDONE HIS OWN
HE IS FOR RELATIONSHIP AND TO BE WITH THOSE WHO THE FATHER GAVE HIM AND THE NAMES OF THOSE FOUND IN THE BOOK OF LIFE
THAT HE IS NOT GONE, BUT THAT HE WILL RETURN TO HIS BRIDE ABD TO REIGN ON EARTH

Blessed are those who obey the words of prophecy written in this book

WHO IS BLESSED? HOW ARE THEY BLESSED?

FOR THOSE WHO OBEYED

(WHAT IS OBEDIENCE?
compliance,
conformity,
submission,
yield,
subordination
Follow)

TO CONFORM AND AGREE AS ONE TO THE WORDS OF THIS PROPHECY

OBEYED OR FOLLOWED WHAT?
WHAT ARE THESE WORDS OF PROPHECY?
JESUS IS THE WORD AND ETERNAL LIFE IS FOUND TO THOSE WHO OBEY HIS WORD

HOW DID THEY OBEY? BY:

LISTENING
BELIEVED,
RECEIVED
ACT IN FAITH, HOPE AND LOVE

THERE IS NO OBEDIENCE WITHOUT THE 3 PILARS OF TRUTH AND FOUNDATION – SPIRIT, SOUL AND BODY

FAITH – BODY ACTION TO SEE
HOPE – SOUL STATE OF TRUST/ REST
LOVE – ONE IN THE SPIRIT WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT

. ” I, John, am the one who heard and saw all these things.

JOHN TESTIFIES HE IS THE ONE WHO HEARD AND SAW ALL THESE WORDS OF PROPHECY

And when I heard and saw them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed them to me.

WHY DID JOHN FEEL AT THE ANGELS FEET?
DID HE NOT RECOGNIZE THAT HE WAS AN ANGEL?
HE WAS TOO AMAZED OF THE GLORY OF THE ANGEL

WITH JESUS PRESENCE THERE IS NO TIME TO DECIDE TO FALL DOWN – THAT IS DONE BECAUSE OF HIS PRESENCE

But he said, “No, don’t worship me. I am a servant of God, just like you and your brothers the prophets, as well as all who obey what is written in this book. Worship only God!”

WHAT WAS THE ANGEL’S RESPONSE? DID HE KNOW HIS PLACE? HE SURE DID
WHAT IS HIS POSITION ?
HE IS A SERVANT OF GOD JUST AS JOHN AND BROTHERS
HE IS A SERVANT JUST AS ALL BELIEVERS IN CHRIST
WHO DO WHAT?
THOSE THAT OBEY OF WHAT IT IS WRITTEN
WHAT IS IT WRITEN AND WHERE?
OF WHAT JOHN HEARD AND SAW AND REPORTED FAITHFULLY

WHO TO WORSHIP ? SATAN AND FLESH WANT TO BE WORSHIP, EXALTED ABOVE GOD
ONLY GOD IS WORTHY TO BE WORSHIP – HE CREATED ALL FOR HIS GLORY

THEN WHAT DID THE ANGEL INSTRUCTED JOHN TO DO?

Then he instructed me, “Do not seal up the prophetic words in this book, for the time is near.

WHY NOT TO SEAL? WHAT IS TO SEAL ?
TO CONCLUDE TO COMPLETE TO CLOSE

FOR A SHORT TIME YET – ALLOW HUMANITY FOLLOW ITS COURSE OF FREE WILL

Let the one who is doing harm continue to do harm; let the one who is vile continue to be vile; let the one who is righteous continue to live righteously; let the one who is holy continue to be holy.” “

LET THE WHEAT GROW AT THE SIDE OF THE WEEDS AND MALICIOUS PEOPLE

Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat at the barn MAT 13:30

JESUS COME AND SPEAKS TO JOHN
Look, I am coming soon, bringing my reward with me to repay all people according to their deeds.

JESUS IS COMMANDING TO BE VIGILANT AND DILIGENT

SUCH DEEDS AND THOUGHTS ARE CLEANED FORGIVING IN THE BLOOD OF JESUS

He will be very great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his ancestor David.

Acts 13:22 says, “After removing Saul, he made David their king. He testified concerning him: ‘I have found David son of Jesse a man after my own heart; he will do everything I want him to do.‘” The following words describe the heart of David as seen in his own writings:

SAUL HAD IDOLATRY IN HIS HEART –

HE DID NOT LET GO OF FEAR OF MEN INSTEAD OF FEARING GOD –
HIS HEART WAS DECEIVED

TWO IDOLS HE DID NOT LET GO
COVETOUS – COBIÇOSO/INVEJOSO
STUBBORN – TEIMOSO REBELDE
I SAM 15:23

Humble – Lowborn men are but a breath, the highborn are but a lie; if weighed on a balance, they are nothing; together they are only a breath. Psalm 62:9
Reverent – I call to the Lord, who is worthy of praise, and I am saved from my enemies. Psalm 18:3
Respectful – Be merciful to me, O Lord, for I am in distress; my eyes grow weak with sorrow, my soul and my body with grief. Psalm 31:9
Trusting – The LORD is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid? Psalm 27:1
Loving – I love you, O Lord, my strength. Psalm 18:1
Devoted – You have filled my heart with greater joy than when their grain and new wine abound. Psalm 4:7
Recognition – I will praise you, O Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonders. Psalm 9:1
Faithful – Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever. Psalm 23:6
Obedient – Give me understanding, and I will keep your law and obey it with all my heart. Psalm 119:34
Repentant – For the sake of your name, O Lord, forgive my iniquity, though it is great. Psalm 25:11
David’s example is a great road map for how we are to live our life.

WHY DID JESUS SAY HE IS THE BRIGHT MORNING STAR? WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

IT IS THE STAR AND REVELATION THAT COMES IN THE MORNING NEW DAY FROM THE EAST FULLY SHINNING BRIGHTER THAN ANY OTHER STAR THAT MAKES THE OTHERS STARS DISAPPEAR DUE TO ITS LIGHT

WAS SATAN CALLED THE MORNING STAR? YES BUT ONLY AS A MORNING STAR AND NOT THE BRIGHT MORNING STAR. SATAN WAS CREATED TO REFLECT THE BRIGHTNESS OF THE BRIGHT MORNING STAR JESUS.

SATAN WAS THE SON OR CREATION OF THE DAWN OR NEW BEGINNING OF A NEW DAY IN GOD WITH NEW SOUND OF HEAVEN OF WORHIP TO GOD

“The first reference to the morning star as an individual is in Isaiah 14:12: “How you have fallen from heaven, O morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations!” (NIV). The KJV and NKJV both translate “morning star” as “Lucifer, son of the morning.” It is clear from the rest of the passage that Isaiah is referring to Satan’s fall from heaven (Luke 10:18). So in this case, the morning star refers to Satan. In Revelation 22:16, Jesus unmistakably identifies Himself as the morning star. Why are both Jesus and Satan described as the “morning star”?

JESUS IS ALSO CALLED THE LION OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH WHO REIGNS ETERNALLY
SATAN IS CALLED AS A LION TOO BUT TO DEVOUR AND DESTROY OTHERS

“The idea of a “bright morning star” is a star that outshines all the others, and Jesus is the One who is called “bright.” Satan was a morning star. Jesus, as God incarnate, the Lord of the universe, is the BRIGHT and morning star. Jesus is the most holy and powerful “light” in all the universe. So, while both Jesus and Satan can be described as “morning stars,” in no sense is this equating Jesus and Satan. Satan is a created being. His light only exists to the extent that God created it. Jesus is the light of the world (John 9:5). Only Jesus’ light is “bright” and self-existent. Satan may be a morning star, but he is only a poor imitation of the one true bright morning star, Jesus Christ, the light of the world.”

AFTER JESUS SPOKE OF HIMSELF WHAT HAPPENED?

2 PEOPLE SPOKE

The Spirit and the bride say, “Come.” Let anyone who hears this say, “Come.” Let anyone who is thirsty come. Let anyone who desires drink freely from the water of life.

WHAT DO THE SPIRIT AND THE BRIDE SAY??
WHAT DO THEY HAVE TO SAY?

THEY HAVE THE INVITATION CALL TO COME

COME WHERE OR GO WHERE?
WHO IS INVITED FOR THIS CALL?
EVERYONE IS INVITED TO COME – SMALL OR BIG NO,EXCEPTION

TO COME TO DO WHAT?
NOT TO OBSERVE OR THINK ABOUY IT BUT TO DRINK – LET THE TRUTH GO INSIDE BE PART OF LIFE
DRINK – (SWALLOW LIGUID THROUGH THE MOUTH – Uttered to express one’s agreement with or approval of a statement.

WHO ARE THOSE WHO COME TO DRINK
THEY ARE THE ONE THE FATHER GAVE TO JESUS

37Everyone the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will never drive away. 38For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but to do the will of Him who sent Me. JOHN 6:37

DRINK WHAT? WHY DRINK?
DRINK LIVING WATER FOR ETERNITY – THERE IS NO ETERNAL LIFE WITHOUT DRINKING WATER OF LIFE

WHAT IS THE LIVING WATER TO DRINK?
THE BLOOD LIFE OF JESUS – THERE IS NO LIFE IN US WITHOUT DRINKING THE BLOOD OF JESUS

53So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh and drink the blood of the Son of Man, you have no life in you. 54Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. 55For My flesh is real food, and My blood is real drink.

WHAT US THE CONDITION TO COME TO DRINK ?
WHO CAN DRINK FROM RHE WATER OF LIFE TO HAVE ETERNAL LIFE?
FATHER GAVE THEM TO JESUS WITH THIRST FOR HIM
ONLY THE THIRSTY ONE GIVEN BY THE FATHER

JESUS OR JOHN INSPIRED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT LAST WORDS
And I solemnly declare to everyone who hears the words of prophecy written in this book: If anyone adds anything to what is written here, God will add to that person the plagues described in this book. And if anyone removes any of the words from this book of prophecy, God will remove that person’s share in the tree of life and in the holy city that are described in this book.

THE CONDITION AND CHOICE IS GIVEN TO MAN TO DECIDE ON WHAR TO DO WITH THE PROPHECY OF THE BOOK OF REVELATION – THERE IS NO EXCUSES

THE REVELATION OF JESUS HIS MAJESTY HIS KINGDOM PLAN PURPOSE JUDGEMENT TO ALL EVIL AND CREATION WEEDING WITH HIS BRIDE AND MANY MORE ARE EXPOSED FOR ALL HUMAN BEING TO DECIDE AND CHOOSE SINCE CREATION TO READ BELIEVE RECEIVE AND OBEY OR NOT

THERE IS NO ADDING OR REMOVING OF THE TRUTH WRITTEN AND RECORDED IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION

IN OTHER WORDS THE ADDING OR REMOVING OF WHAT IT HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED AS TRUTH IS THE SAME AS NOT LISTENING, BELIEVING, RECEIVING AND OBEYING COMPLETELY

THE CONSEQUENCES ARE CLEAR AND DIRECT HERE
NO LIE OR MANIPULATION OF DEVIL HERE AS IT WAS IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN

He who is the faithful witness to all these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon!”

JESUS IS THE FAITHFUL ONE WHO SPEAKS THE TRUTH FOR ALL ETERNITY

HERE IS COMING AGAIN SOON IN MAJESTY AND GLORY AS THE LION OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH TO REIGN IN JUSTICE PEACE AND JOY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT ON THE EARTH AS HE IS THE SECOND ADAM WITH HIS RESPONSIBILITY
