End-times Part 9 From the Book Of Revelation Chpt 18 Babylon

[Note to Blog Readers: The Expositor’s Notes are in Bold Italic Font]

In the last Chapter that we read, we saw who and what the great whore was and is, its false religions, man’s word and Not of God’s Word and many of the Churches that preach the lies from false doctrines, like purpose driven life books, which I call the perverted driven books, the NIV, which I call, Not In God’s Version book, because its not a Bible, its a book of perversion. I am sure that there are others that I could name, but I will stop here with it. Listen friends, if you are a preacher, teacher, Christian and your reading and learning from those so called Churches who teaches from another Gospel that is not from Jesus Christ, which is the King James Bible, they are not just preaching of another Jesus, but they are committing spiritual adultery. If you, your Church, your Pastor, you neighbor, your sister, your brother, your mom and dad, your aunt’s, your uncles, your wife, your husband, your cousin’s, if they are learning from false doctrine, false prophets, TBN is a great one to speak of, reading false material like the NIV, if your learning from those false doctrines, you are committing spiritual adultery and you and them are not saved.
Listen closely Friends, 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 Do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the Kingdom of God? (This shoots down the unscriptural Doctrine of Unconditional Eternal Security.) Be not deceived (presents the same words of our Lord, “let no man deceive you” [Mark 13:5]): neither fornicators, nor idolater’s, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with man kind (the proof of true Christianity is the changed life), Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor reviler’s, nor extortioner’s, shall inherit the Kingdom of God (refers to those who call themselves “Believer’s,” but yet continue to practice the sins mentioned, whom the Holy Spirit says are not saved, irrespective of their claims). I am going to say something about what we just read, those who are not saved and drinking and getting drunk and the so called Churches that are preaching false doctrines, are already hell bound and not saved for the false teachings, unless they repent and turn away, but this scripture is talking about for those of us who are saved. Verse 11, And such were some of you (before conversion): but you are washed (refers to the Blood of Jesus cleansing from all sin), but you are sanctified (one’s position in Christ), but you are justified (declared not guilty) in the Name of the Lord Jesus (refers to Christ and what He did at the Cross, in order that we might be saved), and by the Spirit of our God (proclaims the Third Person of the Triune Godhead as the Mechanic in this great Work of Grace).
It is a spiritual adultery to take God’s Word out of context, in any way. Baptism for instance, I have talked and heard how many of you talk and I can tell on what doctrine that many of you have been taught. This world says that this person or that person did not get water Baptized before his or her death and that person is not saved. Here is a real kicker for ya. That’s why you got to be careful on what Church you go to. If they are teaching from the King James Bible then they should be preaching the Truth. King James states, clear as day, that you have to be Saved by being Baptized by the Holy Ghost, that is where the born again experience comes from. Water Baptism doe not, I repeat, WATER BAPTISM DOES NOT SAVE ANYONE. Baptism is done out of obedience and not for Salvation. The day you accept Jesus Christ into your hearts, believe and have faith in what Jesus Christ did for you on the Cross, that is what saves.
The Churches that keeps the Cross covered, the Churches who does not preach on the Cross, the Holy Ghost, Him Crucified, the Churches that allows Rock, Rap, Hip Hop, Thrash, Metal music in their worship services are all not Saved, they are worshiping demonic demon spirits. God is not in those Churches, in fact they are not Churches, its a house of Satanism, its included and as and is, Spiritual Adultery. Lets get started, now that I am warmed up and ready to preach.  

Revelation 18:1-24 (KJV)
1 And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven (this Angel seems to be different from the Angels of [Rev 17:1]), having great power (he is greater than any one of the Seven); and the earth was lightened with his glory (represents the fact that this Angel, who immediately precedes the Coming of Christ, must of necessity be one of, if not the greatest Angel in the Creation of God, due to the magnificence of that Coming and especially of the One Who is Coming; it could be either Gabriel or Michael). 2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen (he is speaking of literal Babylon, the city, and, as well, of Mystery Babylon, the religion), and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird (proclaims the city in the last of the last days as an infestation of demon spirits of every sort; in other words, it will be capital of evil in all the world; vultures and such like are used at times in the Word of God as symbols for demon spirits [Mat. 13:32]). 3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her (pertains to the time of the Antichrist, but, as well, to all that Babylon has represented from the very beginning of time, i.e., “false religions”), and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. (From his headquarters in Babylon, the Antichrist will make it possible for many to get rich during the time of the Great Tribulation, therefore, ingratiating himself to many nations of the world.) 4 And I heard another voice from heaven (presents that which is different from the Angel of the first Verse), saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins (the short phrase, “My people,” refers to all Believers all over the world for all time, but primary thrust is to Israel; in fact, the entire Book of Revelation, even though broadly addressing itself to the entirety of mankind, is primarily for Israel; this is the time of Jocob’s trouble [Jer. 30:7]), and is designed to bring Israel back to God), and that ye receive not of her plagues. (If Believers fail to come out from among the world, i.e., “the world’s system,” we will experience Judgment the same as unbelievers.)  5 For her sins have reached unto heaven (carries the idea of rebellion against God, which is the ruin of mankind), and God hath remembered her iniquities. (The only way God will forget sins and iniquities is by man placing his Faith and Trust in Christ and what Christ has done for us at the Cross [Heb. 8:6,12].) 6 Reward her even as she rewarded you (Saints are not called to render vengeance, but rather the statement is made that God will do such, the idea is that every act of hurt by the world or the apostate Church against God’s People will be answered in kind; but in this case, it pertains more so to the Jews than anything else [Gen. 12:3]), and double unto her double according to her works (in a sense pertains to the fact that the future rebuilt city of Babylon will suffer the Judgment of the ages; the effort by President Bush to change the Government in Iraq, which, in fact, was the right thing to do, is a part of the process which will enable Babylon to be rebuilt): in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double. (God’s answer to man’s rebellion will be the destruction of Babylon, and in a cataclysmic way.) 7 How much she hath glorified herself (pertains to the Characteristics of religion), and lived deliciously (refers to the earthly rewards of religion; at its base, one will always find “money”), so much torment and sorrow give her (refers to the fact that Judgment has been laid up for this city of Babylon, symbolic of man’s system, which is a system without God; we reap what we sow [Gal. 6:7]): for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. (She calls herself “a queen,” while the Lord refers to her as “the great whore,” which pronounces her doom.) 8 Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine (points to the great earthquake of [Rev.16:18]); and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judges her. (The idea is that Satan, through the Antichrist, will boast of his great strength, so the Lord will, in effect, show the Antichrist and the world what strength really is.) 9 And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication (speaks of “spiritual adultery”; the worship of anything other than God and trust placed in anything except Christ and Him Crucified is “spiritual adultery”) and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her (Babylon, and we speak of the system, is their god, so they lament for their god), when they shall see the smoke of her burning (signals for more than the destruction of one city; it is the end of a system, a way, a false way, a terrible way, and will be carried out at the very conclusion of the Great Tribulation, which will usher in the Second Coming), 10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment (the destruction of this city will, no doubt, be Televised all over the world; as well, much of the world will fear the same Judgment is coming upon them, knowing that God has done this), saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! (Proclaims the lament, knowing that her destruction signals the end of Satan’s rule and reign.) for in one hour is thy judgment come. (Ancient Babylon gradually decayed, but this Babylon will be totally destroyed “in one hour,” proving that this city must be rebuilt.) 11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buys their merchandise any more (those who have sold their souls to this system will now weep and mourn over her destruction): 12 The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble, 13 And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men. (The last phrase probably refers to the drug business.) 14 And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all (this proclaims the fallacy of investing in a system of this world instead of the things of God [Mat. 6:19-21]). 15 The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing (the idea is that the system of this world, symbolized by rebuilt Babylon, is about to end, with another system taking its place, which will be the Kingdom of our Lord), 16 And saying, Alas, alas that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls! (This points to a conclusion regarding the word “great,” which is not shared by the Lord.) 17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought (should serve as a warning to all who put their trust in such things). And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off (God took out in one hour what men took many years to build), 18 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city! (They cried over their financial loss, but seemed to show no concern for their lost souls.) 19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate. (The casting of dust on their heads does not point to Repentance, but rather to the sorrow of their financial loss.) 20 Rejoice over her, you heaven, and you holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her. (While men cry over the destruction of Babylon, the Lord tells Believers to “rejoice.”) 21 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea (is a fulfillment of [Mat. 18:6]), saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all (proclaims the manner in which the era of evil will end; it will be with “violence,” which, in effect, speaks more so of the Second Coming of Christ than anything else). 22 And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in you (the merriment has ended); and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in you (refers to the way business is normally done; a few get filthy rich on the backs of the helpless poor); and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in you (refers to grinding poverty, which characterizes much of the world; it is not that poverty will characterize Babylon but that much of its riches will come from ill-gotten gains); 23 And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in you (Satan’s false light will shine no more); and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in you (refers to a false foundation, exactly as the false light; in fact, everything about the system of the world is false, built on a lie): for your merchants were the great men of the earth; for by your sorceries were all nations deceived. (Witchcraft and the drug business, referred to by “sorceries,” constitute the foundation of this commercial enterprise, which will be totally destroyed.) 24 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth. (The literal city of Babylon is symbolic of the Babylonian spirit, which has opposed the Work of God from the beginning until now.)

Revelation 17:1 (KJV)
1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me (probably is the seventh Angel; however, we actually have no way of truly knowing), saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sits upon many waters (the “great whore” refers to all religions of the world that ever have been, which are devised by men as a substitute for “Jesus Christ and Him Crucified”; God’s Way is Christ and Him Crucified Alone; as well, the “many waters” are a symbol for multitudes of people [Vs. 15]):

Matthew 13:32 (KJV)
32 Which indeed is the least of all seeds (concerns the small beginnings of the Gospel of Jesus Christ): but when it is grown (which it now is), it is the greatest among herbs (Christianity is the largest faith on Earth, with approximately two billion adherents), and becomes a tree (a mustard bush that becomes a tree is abnormal), so that the birds of the air (all kinds of birds, representing all kinds of doctrine) come and lodge in the branches thereof (thus in conduct and in doctrine the failure of what is called Christianity is revealed here beforehand).

Jeremiah 30:7 (KJV)
7 Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble, but he shall be saved out of it. (The glory of Israel’s restoration, as is proclaimed in the in the previous Verses, will be preceded by the horror of “the time of Jacob’s Trouble.” It will be the last three and a half years of the Great Tribulation. Jesus addressed this when He said it would be the worst that has ever been, so bad that it would never happen again [Mat. 24:21].)

Matthew 24:21
21 For then shall be great tribulation (the last three and one half years), such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be (the worst the world has ever known, and will be so bad that it will never be repeated).

Hebrews 8:6, 12 (KJV)
6 But now (since the Cross) has he (the Lord Jesus) obtained a more excellent ministry (the New Covenant in Jesus’ Blood is superior, and takes the place of the Old Covenant in animal blood), by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant (proclaims the fact that Christ officiates between God and man according to the arrangements of the New Covenant), which was established upon better promises. (This presents the New Covenant,explicitly based on the cleansing and forgiveness of all sin, which the Old Covenant could not do.)
12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness (the Cross made this possible), and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more. (Due to the Cross, sins and iniquities no longer exist, at least for those who trust Christ.)

Genesis 12:3 (KJV)
3 And I will bless them that bless you (to bless Israel, or any Believer, for that matter, guarantees the Blessings of God), and curse him that curses you (to curse Israel, or any Believer, guarantees that one will be cursed by God): and in you shall all families of the earth be blessed. (It speaks of Israel, which sprang from the loins of Abraham and the womb of Sarah, giving the world the Word of God and, more particularly, bringing the Messiah into the world. Through Christ, every family in the world who desires blessing from God can have that Blessing, i.e., “Justification by Faith.”)

Galatians 6:7 (KJV)
7 Be not deceived (refers to the fact that a Believer can definitely be deceived; Paul is speaking primarily of Believers allowing false teachers to move their Faith from the Cross to other things); God is not mocked (God, in fact, is mocked when we substitute something else in the place of the Cross): for whatsoever a man sows, that shall he also reap (the Law of sowing and reaping, which will unfailingly come to pass).

Revelation 16:18 (KJV)
18 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings (the Divine purpose in Grace was finished at the Cross; here the Divine purpose in wrath is finished; this Vial Judgment could well take place simultaneously with the Second Coming); and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great (presents the last cataclysmic upheaval).

Matthew 6:19-21 (KJV)
19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth (everything on the Earth is temporal), where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal (if the eye be set upon treasures on Earth, the life and character of the Believer will be shrouded in moral darkness): 20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also (a man’s aim determines his character; if that aim be not simple and Heavenward but earthward and double, all the faculties and principles of his nature will become a mass of darkness; it is impossible to give a divided allegiance).

Matthew 18:6 (KJV)
6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me (doesn’t refer to weak Christians as some believe, but rather to those who trust Christ and the Cross exclusively), it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea (Christ again uses symbolism).

As we close out this study, I want to encourage you, like what I have been trying to do every time we meet, to lay down your sin’s at the foot of the Cross. Deny yourselves, meaning die to sin and become Alive, in Jesus Christ and stop the sinning, especially if you are a Born again Christian.
Lets Pray.

End Times Part 8 From The Book of Revelation, THE GREAT WHORE

[Note to Blog Readers: The Expositor’s Notes are in Bold Italic Font]

This Bible study is going to step on a lot of toes and it may hurt many of you, due to the fact that many of you are found guilty of these so called pastor’s, Churches that you maybe listening too, and the false doctrines that you maybe listening too, they are not of God. What is the word whore in the Bible talking about? Its the false doctrines’s that is not of God and from the Bible. Its these false networks that has false teachings and prosperity preachers from hell, like TBN, that is the only one I know of. Catholic Churches, Church of Christ’s, Buddhists, Jehovah witnesses, Mormon’s, astrology, I am sure there is more, but you should get the picture, if not, just research their false belief’s on your own and you should get the picture of who’s doctrines are false, any rate, they are not saved. How do I know?, because their teachings don’t line up with the Word of God, which is the King James Bible. A Church who preaches does not need any other book than the King James. You don’t need the Purpose perverted driven life books, you don’t need the hiv book of lies, you don’t need Tbn, because they pervert the name of Jesus Christ and they don’t teach from the Word of God and about the Cross, they teach about a different Jesus and not of Jesus Christ. All that has been mentioned up above, that is what God’s Word is talking about, when its speaking about the great whore. Its in the government, its in the schools, since they removed God, the Cross and prayer. Its in the Churches, since many of them are now covering the Cross and telling lies behind the pulpit and from perverted books. Because they don’t want to Preach the Truth and afraid to offend anyone. If the so called Church of satanism’s, because that is exactly what it is, if your going to one of those seeker sensitive Churches, then its time to get out now, while you have the chance to hear the full Gospel of Jesus Christ and to get Saved, I did. This is the sign of the ends times. THE GREAT WHORE.

Revelation 17:1-18 (KJV)

1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me (probably is the seventh Angel; however, we actually have no way of truly knowing), saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sits upon many waters (the “great whore” refers to all religions of the world that ever have been, which are devised by men as a substitute for “Jesus Christ and Him Crucified”; God’s Way is Christ and Him Crucified Alone; as well, the “many waters” are a symbol for multitudes of people [Vs. 15]): 2 With whom (the great whore, i.e., all types of religions) the kings of the earth (from the very beginning, most nations have been ruled by some type of religion) have committed fornication (all religions devised by men, and even the parts of Christianity that have been corrupted, are labeled by the Lord as “spiritual fornication” [Rom. 7:1-4]), and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication (proclaims the addiction of religion; the doing of religion is the most powerful narcotic there is). 3 So he (the Angel) carried me (John) away in the spirit (a vision) into the wilderness (every religious effort that attempts to take the place of the Cross is a spiritual wilderness): and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast (the woman is organized religion; by that we mean any religion or form of religion claiming to have a way of Salvation or victory other than the Cross; the “scarlet color” indicates blood and pertains to great persecution), full of names of blasphemy (refers to this “woman” opposing the Plan of God in every capacity), having seven heads and ten horns. (This pertains to the scarlet colored beast, not the woman. The “seven heads” represents seven Empires that persecuted Israel in the past, with the last one yet future. They are “Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, and Rome.” The “ten horns” represents ten nations that will arise out of the old Roman Empire territory and persecute Israel, and is yet future. These ten nations make up the seventh head. The Roman Empires, which made up the sixth head, was the last of the Empires that persecuted Israel before her destruction as a nation in A.D. 70. When the ten-horned kingdom arises, which it will shortly, it will persecute Israel as well.) 4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour (all this pertains to Israel, but with a carry over into the Church Age; the “purple” represents the dominion of these religions over nations, with the “scarlet color” representing the persecution of Israel), and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls (these religions have always been very rich; a case in point is Islam, which controls some 60% of the oil reserves of the world), having a golden cup in her hand (all of these religions have an allurement, symbolized by the cup being golden) full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication (proclaims what this cup holds, despite its outward attractiveness): 5 And upon her forehead was a name written (the “forehead” symbolizes the fact that all these religions are devised by man, and not by God), MYSTERY (the word “mystery” separates spiritual Babylon from literal Babylon; it is “great in the eyes of the world, but not in the eyes of God”), BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. (This proclaims the actual content of this “golden cup,” even though it looks wonderful on the outside. If it’s not “Jesus Christ and Him Crucified,” then it is labeled by the Lord as “harlots and abominations.” Regrettably that includes much of the modern Christianity as well.) 6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints (refers to these Empires and their false religions, which persecuted Israel during Old Testament times, actually up to the time of Christ), and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus (points to the millions in the Church age who gave their lives for the Cause of Christ; the Roman Empire began these persecutions of Christians, and was followed by the Catholic Church): and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration (John is amazed at seeing all of this). 7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore did you marvel? (The Angel knew John would marvel at the scene that unfolded before his eyes, and would need an explanation.) I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carries her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns. 8 The beast that thou saw was (represents a fallen Angel who helped the leaders of these Empires of the past in their efforts to destroy Israel), and is not (was not active during the time of John); and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit (this powerful, fallen Angel was confined to the bottomless pit about 2,300 years ago and remains there still, but will be released soon to help the Antichrist), and go into perdition (means that after his escapade of helping the Antichrist on Earth, he will be consigned to the Lake of Fire [20:10]): and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world (presents the fact that all the unsaved people on Earth during the time of the Great Tribulation will be startled and amazed as they observe the Antichrist, who will do things no other man has ever done; this will be because this fallen Angel helping him, but of which he is not aware), when they behold the beast that was, and is not (was not functioning during John’s day), and yet is (will be released out of the bottomless pit to help the Antichrist). 9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom (is the mind that knows and believes the Word of God). The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sits (represents these seven Empires which were controlled by false religions, i.e., “demon spirits”). 10 And there are seven kings (actually refers to the “seven heads,” speaking of the leaders of these Empires, whomever they may have been): five are fallen (five of the Empires were fallen during John’s day; they are Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medo-Persia, and Greece), and one is (refers to the Roman Empire, which was in existence during John’s day and could, therefore, be spoken of in the present tense), and the other is not yet come (refers to the ten nation confederation symbolized by the ten horns, which in John’s day had not yet come, and, in fact, has not yet come even yet); and when he comes, he must continue a short space. (The “ten horns” will be the seventh head, and refers to the ten nations that will arise shortly and persecute Israel, which will probably take place in the first half of the Great Tribulation, a time span of about three and one half years.) 11 And the beast (fallen Angel) that was, and is not, even he is the eighth (this fallen Angel will help the Antichrist, and will head up the eighth Empire to persecute Israel), and is of the seven (refers to the fact that he helped all the Empires of the past, with the exception of Rome, in their efforts to persecute Israel; but this fallen Angel gave the greatest help to Alexander the Great, who headed up the Grecian Empire; we know this because John, in his Vision, said, “and the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard,” with that animal being one of the symbols of ancient Greece [Rev. 13:2; Dan. 7:6]), and goes into perdition (refers to the fact that irrespective of his power and plans, Eternal Hell will be the due of this Satanic Prince; the same goes for Satan, the Antichrist, the False Prophet, every fallen Angel, every demon spirit, and, in fact, all the unredeemed who have ever lived). 12 And the ten horns which you saw are ten kings (Dan. 7:7), which have received no kingdom as yet (refers to John’s day); but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. (These ten nations will come to power before the Antichrist, making up the seventh head. Then they will be taken over by the Antichrist, who is referred to by Daniel as the “little horn” [Dan. 7:8]. The “one hour” refers to the “short space” this confederation of the ten kings and the Antichrist will hold together. It will last for approximately three and one half years, and will be destroyed by the Second Coming of Christ [Dan. 2:34-35].) 13 These have one mind (this ten nation confederation, making up the seventh head, will all be in agreement respecting their joining with the Antichrist because they don’t have the power to successfully oppose him), and shall give their power and strength unto the beast (refers to the Antichrist now coming to full power, and making up the eighth kingdom as described in Verse 11). 14 These shall make war with the Lamb (has to do with the Antichrist attacking Israel as it regards the Battle of Armageddon; Satan hates Israel for many varied reasons, but above all because of Jesus; so, to attack Israel is to attack the Lamb), and the Lamb shall overcome them (speaks of the Second Coming, but also speaks to the fact that Jesus is worthy to administer Judgment and Justice because of what He did at the Cross): for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings (proclaims the fact that this “Lamb” is “King” of all and “Lord”of all, and all because of the Cross): and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful. (Every Saint of God who has ever lived, both Jews and Gentiles, will back with Christ at the Second Coming.) 15 And he (the Angel) said unto me (John), The waters which you saw (refers back to Verse 1, and presents the word “waters” being used as a symbolism), where the whore sits (if it’s not Jesus Christ and Him Crucified [1Cor. 1:23; 2:2], then God refers to it as the “Great Whore”), are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. (This covers the entirety of the world, and tells us that billions have died and gone to hell as a result of following false religions.) 16 And the ten horns which you saw upon the beast (pertains to the ten nation confederation, which will make up the seventh head), these shall hate the whore (at least some, if not all, of the ten nation confederation will come out of the Middle East; Islam rules this part of the world, and it is a rule which has all but destroyed these countries; the implication is the religion of Islam will be put down by this confederacy), and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. (This proclaims the fact that the ten nations  under the Antichrist will institute and carry out a campaign of elimination as it regards the religion of Islam, and, in fact, any other religions in his domain. All of these religions will be replaced by “beast worship.”) 17 For God has put in their hearts to fulfil his will (while the ten nations have their own agenda, God will use it to bring about His Will), and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast (the ten leaders of these nations will give their authority to the beast, i.e., “the Antichrist”), until the words of God shall be fulfilled. (This will last “until” the Great Tribulation has ended, which will be at the Battle of Armageddon in which these nations will be totally destroyed [Dan. 2:34-35].) 18 And the woman which you saw is that great city (refers to rebuilt Babylon portrayed in Rev., Chpt. 18), which reigns over the kings of the earth. (Rebuilt Babylon will not only be one of the commercial centers of the world, but as well the religious center. The Antichrist will have replaced Islam and other religions with himself as the one being worshiped. It all began at Babylon, and it will all end there [Gen. 11:1-9; Rev. 18:10].)

Romans 7:1-4 (KJV)

1 Know ye not, brethren (Paul is speaking to Believers), (for I speak to them that know the law,) (he is speaking of the Law of Moses, but it could refer to any type of religious Law) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he lives? (The Law has dominion as long as he tries to live by Law. Regrettably, not understanding the Cross regarding Sanctification, virtually the entirety of the Church is presently trying to live for God by means of the Law. Let the Believer understand that there are only two places he can be, Grace or Law. If he doesn’t understand the Cross as it refers to Sanctification, which is the only means of victory, he will automatically be under Law, which guarantees failure.) 2 For the woman which has an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he lives (presents Paul using the analogy of the marriage bond); but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband (meaning that she is free to marry again). 3 So then if, while her husband lives, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress (in effect, the woman now has two husbands, at least in the Eyes of God; following this analogy, the Holy Spirit through Paul will give us a great truth; many Christians are living a life of spiritual adultery; they are married to Christ, but they are, in effect, serving another husband, “the Law”; it is quite an analogy!): but if her husband be dead (the Law is dead by virtue of Christ having fulfilled the Law in every respect), she is free from that law (if the husband dies, the woman is free to marry and serve another; the Law of Moses, being satisfied in Christ, is now dead to the Believer and the Believer is free to serve Christ without the Law having any part or parcel in his life or living); so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man (presents the Believer as now married to Christ, and no longer under obligation to the Law). 4 Wherefore, my brethren, you also are become dead to the law (the Law is not dead per se, but we are dead to the Law because we are dead to its effects; this means that we are not to try to live for God by means of “Law,” whether the Law of Moses, or religious Laws made up by other men or of ourselves; we are to be dead to all religious Law) by the body of Christ (this refers to the Crucifixion of Christ, which satisfied the demands of the broken Law, which we could not satisfy; but Christ did it for us; having fulfilled the Mosaic Law in every respect, the Christian is not obligated to Law in any fashion, only to Christ and what He did at the Cross); that you should be married to another (speaking of Christ), even to him who is raised from the dead (we are raised with Him in Newness of Life, and we should ever understand that Christ has met, does meet, and shall meet our every need; we look to Him exclusively, referring to what He did for us at the Cross), that we should bring forth fruit unto God (proper fruit can only be brought forth by the Believer constantly looking to the Cross; in fact, Christ must never be separated from the Work of the Cross; to do so is to produce “another Jesus” [2 Cor. 11:4]).

Revelation 13:2 (KJV)

2 And the beast which I saw (represents the fallen Angel who will be let out of the bottomless pit to help the Antichrist [Rev. 11:7]; both the fallen Angel and the Antichrist are referred to as a “beast,” but they are two different beings) was like unto a leopard (this fallen Angel will help the Antichrist to speedily conquer; Daniel describes this event as well [Dan. 7:6]), and his feet were as the feet of a bear (carries the characteristics of ancient Medo-Persian Empire, which is ferociousness), and his mouth as the mouth of a lion (portrays the finesse, grandeur, and pomp of the Babylonian Empire): and the dragon (Satan) gave him (the Antichrist) his power, and his seat, and great authority. (So the Antichrist will have Satan helping him as well as this powerful fallen Angel, and, no doubt, a host of other fallen Angels and demon spirits.)

Daniel 7:6 (KJV)

6 After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it. (This short description defines the Grecian Empire under Alexander the Great as a “leopard.” This Empire would come to the fore about 200 years from Daniel’s day. The “four wings of fowl” symbolized swiftness out of proportion to normal conquests. The “four heads” symbolized the breakup of this Empire after the death of Alexander at 32 years of age. Heads always symbolizes kingdoms in Bible Prophecy. The four divisions were: Greece, Thrace, Syria, and Egypt.)  

Daniel 7:7 (KJV)

7 After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns. (This beast represents the Roman Empire, which was the strongest and most powerful of all. It lasted for nearly a thousand years. The phrase, “And it had ten horns,” speak of that which was part of this beast, and for a particular reason. But it had nothing to do with the conquests of the original Roman Empire. These “ten horns” portray ten kingdoms which will arise in the latter days, in fact, in the very near future. These ten nations will persecute Israel.)

Daniel 7:8 (KJV)

8  I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things. (At first, Daniel did not understand the horns.  Even though the Roman Empire has come and gone, still, the “ten horns” have not yet risen to power; however, the breakup of the former Soviet Union is the beginning of the fulfillment of this passage. If one is to notice, the “ten horns” were a part of the non-descript beast, which has to do with the territory which the old Roman Empire controlled. “There came up among them another little horn,” means this one came up after the “ten horns” were fully grown. The “little horn” is the Antichrist. Three of the horns will be plucked by the “little horn,” meaning that he will defeat these countries in battle, with the others then submitting to him. This will take place in the first half of the Great Tribulation.)

Daniel 2:34-35 (KJV)

34 Thou saw till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces. (The “Stone” is the Lord Jesus Christ, and symbolizes His Second Coming. “Without Hands,” is an expression emphasizing the absence of all human instrumentality and the act of God alone. This destroys the popular belief that Christianity will take over the world, with the Gospel gradually conquering all of Mankind. Actually, Bible Christianity ultimately will cover the entirety of the Earth, but only after the Second Coming, even as this Verse proclaims.) 35 Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth. (This portrays the Second Coming of the Lord and the destruction of all Gentile powers, meaning that never again will Gentile power hold sway, for that time is forever ended. After the Second Coming, Christ will set up His Kingdom of Righteousness, with Israel then being the predominant nation in the world, and remaining that way forever. Hence, the promises made to the Patriarchs and Prophets of old will be fulfilled in totality.)

1 Corinthians 1:23 (KJV)

23 But we preach Christ crucified (this is the Foundation of the Word of God and, thereby, of Salvation), unto the Jews a stumbling block (the Cross was the stumblingblock), and unto the Greeks foolishness (both found it difficult to accept as God a dead Man hanging on a Cross, for such Christ was to them);

1 Corinthians 2:2 (KJV)

2 For I determined not to know any thing among you (with purpose and design, Paul did not resort to the knowledge or philosophy of the world regarding the preaching of the Gospel), save Jesus Christ, and him crucified (that and that alone is the Message, which will save the sinner, set the captive free, and give the Believer perpetual Victory).

Daniel 2:34-35 (KJV)

34 Thou saw till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces. (The “Stone” is the Lord Jesus Christ, and symbolizes His Second Coming. “Without Hands,” is an expression emphasizing the absence of all human instrumentality and the act of God alone. This destroys the popular belief that Christianity will take over the world, with the Gospel gradually conquering all of Mankind. Actually, Bible Christianity ultimately will cover the entirety of the Earth, but only after the Second Coming, even as this Verse proclaims.) 35 Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth. (This portrays the Second Coming of the Lord and the destruction of all Gentile powers, meaning that never again will Gentile power hold sway, for that time is forever ended. After the Second Coming, Christ will set up His Kingdom of Righteousness, with Israel then being the predominant nation in the world, and remaining that way forever. Hence, the promises made to the Patriarchs and Prophets of old will be fulfilled in totality.)

Genesis 11:1-9 (KJV)

1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech (before the flood and immediately after the flood, there was only one language on the face of the Earth; even though we have no way of knowing specifically, that language was probably Hebrew). 2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east (doesn’t refer to every single person, but rather that a great group went in that direction, more than likely led by Nimrod; the phrase,  “from the east,” should have been translated “in the east”), that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. (This prince, Nimrod and his city Babylon, and the plain on which it was erected, Shinar, all claim attention. They represent Satan’s efforts, using man as his agent, to oppose and destroy God’s Plans. God has His Prince and His City; so has Satan.And these opposing princes with their cities occupy most of the pages of the Bible -- the closing pages of the Book revealing the triumph of Immanuel and Jerusalem over the Antichrist and Babylon.) 3 And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter (considering the materials with which they were to use, they definitely did not plan for this city and tower to be temporary). 4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven (probably signifies the worship of the Zodiac, i.e., “planetary bodies”); and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. (“They said” marks the undeniable evil of the human heart. They had no regard for what God wanted. In this one Verse, we find the seedbed of all rebellion against God, whether then or now! In fact, this was the very first organized rebellion against God. The Lord has told Noah and his sons to “be fruitful, multiply, and replenish the Earth” [9:1]. Now, the followers of Nimrod are doing the very opposite. The Lord wanted mankind to be scattered over the Earth, but these rebels were determined to defy what God desired.) 5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men built (men rule, but God overrules). 6 And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language (which was actually the Will of God); and this they begin to do (to rebel against God): and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do (in other words, their rebellion will only intensify). 7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. (The pronoun “Us”, as it regards the Lord, proclaims the Trinity; there is one God, but manifests in three Persons, “God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.” At least a hundred or more languages were here introduced, which made it impossible for these rebels to function together with any type of cohesion.) 8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth (those who spoke the same language banded together and went elsewhere): and they left off to build the city (there is some evidence that they finished the tower, but not the city). 9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel (means “confusion,” “Babel” is also the Hebrew Name for “Babylon,” the tower of Babel and the city itself, for that matter, had their origin in deliberate, determined, enthusiastic, exalting hostility to the Divine purpose, that they should spread themselves abroad upon the face of the whole Earth; and herein lies the essence of all rebellion: whatever thought, counsel, or word derives its inspiration, be it only in an infinitesimal degree, from antagonism to the Mind of God, that is sin); because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth. (As stated, men rule, but God overrules!)

There are some Churches who will tell lies behind the pulpit, by saying that all you have to do to be Saved, is to get water Baptized and you will be saved. The fact is this, the day you accept Jesus Christ into your heart and you have repented from your sin’s to God, layed them at the Cross and have walked away from them and ask and allow God to fill you with the Holy Ghost. You will be Baptized by the Holy Ghost, at that time. You then are saved from sin and are Heaven bound. Unfortunately, listening to false doctrines can make you stumble and not be saved. When the Bible is talking about Baptism, its talking about Baptism of the Holy Ghost, not of water. Water Baptism is for Obedience, not for Salvation. However, they all run together.

Belief plus Faith = Baptism of the Holy Ghost and Salvation. Being Obedient with your new found Faith and Belief = the following, Water immersion and Heaven. The Cross, Acceptance, Belief and Faith of the Cross, Baptism of the Holy Ghost brings the Born again experience and Salvation, water Baptism, which is immersion, is all part of God’s plan of Salvation. Lets close in prayer.

End times Part 7 from the book of Revelation

Bible Study For 10/21/2013

End times Part 7 from the book of Revelation

[Note to Blog Readers: The Expositor’s Notes are in Bold Italic Font]

Last week, we have mentioned a few sins that people do and some of the sins, you allow yourselves take part in. I seen it with my own eyes, that still apply’s through out this chapter as well. There is a battle between good and evil, God, the good Spirit and Satan, aka the devil, bad spirit. Last week, one of our members of this Bible study mentioned something last week, one of them said, this study is a history lesson. I told them that, the whole Bible is a history lesson. It plainly tells you in the beginning in Genesis on how the world was created, it tells you what life is all about and how it got started. It shares what Jesus did for us on the Cross and how we can be Saved and how to live. In the book of Revelation, it plainly tells how things will end on this earth and what is to come. This world is controlled and ran by Satan and his demons. The demons that are here on earth is invisible and small as little frogs. I will not explain it away, you will get the picture as we go through today’s Bible study. End-Times Part 7 From The Book of Revelation Chapter 16



Revelation 16:1-21
1 And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels (this is the “great’ Chapter of the Bible, the word occurring 11 times), Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth. (This refers to the kingdom of the Antichrist, and not to the entirety of the Earth. That kingdom will be comprised of North Africa, the Middle East, and much of Europe [Dan. 7:7].) 2 And the first (Angel) went, and poured out his vial upon the earth (constitutes the first plague); and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image. (This proves that these plagues will be poured out only on the kingdom of the beast.) 3 And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea (the Mediterranean); and it became as the blood of a dead man (pertains to the entire Mediterranean Sea; the blood of a dead man is almost black, and is coagulated): and every living soul died in the sea (should have been translated “living creatures”; therefore, every person on ships in the Mediterranean will die, along with all fish). 4 And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters (speaks of all underground rivers as well; in other words, all the water throughout the kingdom of the beast is poisoned); and they became blood. (This is not to be merely symbolic. This will actually happen.) 5 And I heard the angel of the waters say (in the Book of Revelations, we find that a great variety of Ministries are assigned to Angels; this Angel is the “Angel of the Waters”), You are righteous, O Lord (proclaims the fact that what the Lord is doing is Righteous; in fact, everything He does is Righteous!), which are, and was, and shall be (refers to the fact that God doesn’t change), because you have judged thus (proclaims the fact that God would be unrighteous if he didn’t Judge accordingly). 6 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets (refers to those who will be murdered by the Antichrist during the time of the Great Tribulation because of their allegiance to the Lord Jesus Christ), and you have given them blood to drink; for they are worthy. (This proclaims the fact that the beast worshipers are getting their just desserts.) 7 And I heard another out of the altar say (should have been translated, “and I heard the Altar say,” referring to those who have been murdered by the Antichrist and are asking for vengeance [6:9-11]), Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments. (This proclaims the fact that the prayers of those at the Altar who cry for vengeance are about to be answered.) 8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun (refers to that which is totally beyond the scope of man); and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire. (Adds to the “boils,” and, as well, exacerbates the problem of the water shortage. Evidently, the sun at that time will pour out more heat on the Earth than ever before. As well, it seems this plague will also be confined to the generalized area of the Antichrist. If that is the case, the Lord will have to stop the heat from effecting other parts of the globe.) 9 And men were scorched with great heat (as the next Verse states this is done only in the geographical area of the Antichrist), and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues (those in the geographical area of the Antichrist will know that God is doing this, but yet will continue to blaspheme His Name): and they repented not to give him glory. (This tells us something about the hearts of men. It is seldom that miracles bring men to Repentance. Repentance must come from the heart and stem from Faith, which must ever have Christ and the Cross as its Object.) 10And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast (specifies that its coverage area is “the seat of the beast”; the core of this could refer to Jerusalem, which is now the religious headquarters of the Antichrist); and his kingdom was full of darkness (these plagues are possible to Faith, though not to reason); and they gnawed their tongues for pain (refers to the “boils” described in Verse 2), 11 And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores (they blamed God for their situation, even though He plainly told them not to take the mark of the beast [14:10]), and repented not of their deeds. (This presents the fact that the heart of man is so incurably corrupt that even the fiercest Judgments fall to affect its attitude, spirit, or conduct.) 12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up (refers to the preparations for the coming Battle of Armageddon), that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared (actually says in the Greek, “the kings of the sun-rising”; this will, no doubt, include the armies of China and Japan, plus others which will join the Antichrist in the coming Battle of Armageddon). 13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs (while John saw these demon spirits in his vision, they will be invisible to all others; these invisible creatures are functioning presently on Earth, even as they have since the Fall, and  there is only one power that affects them and that is the Name of Jesus [Mk. 16:17]) come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. (This concerns the fact that this ungodly trio connives to secure the help of other nations regarding the coming battle of Armageddon.) 14 For they are the spirits of devils (refers to a flood of demon spirits working in conjuction with the three unclean spirits), working miracles (which will probably be done through the false prophet and others; proclaims the fact that all miracles are not necessarily from God), which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. (As is obvious here, there are nations the Antichrist doesn’t control, whose help he will seek. But while he thinks all of this is his plan, “God Almighty” is actually orchestrating all events.The Antichrist will think to destroy Israel, but God will in fact destroy him.) 15 Behold, I come as a thief (refers to the fact that the Antichrist has been so successful with his propaganda that very few in the world of that time will actually be expecting Christ to return). Blessed is he that watches, and keeps his garments (points to those on Earth who worship and serve the Lamb, and that they must be constantly vigilant lest their loyalty to Him be diverted through Satanic deception [Mat. 24:43; 1 Thess. 5:2-4]), lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. (This refers to being naked to the Judgment of God, and suffering the consequences at the Second Coming, or even before that event.) 16 And he gathered them together (the pronoun “He” refers to God) into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. (This refers to a literal place where a literal battle will be fought. It is the Mount of Megiddo overlooking the plain of Megiddo west of the Mount, and apparently including the Plain of Esdraelon, i.e., Valley of Megiddo.) 17 And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air (this is the last Judgment; it signifies an earthquake such as the world has not previously known, which will effect not only particular cities, but also entire nations); and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done. (The mighty Voice that shouted “Finished” from the Cross will now shout “Finished” from the Throne.) 18 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings (the Divine purpose in Grace was finished at the Cross; here the Divine purpose in wrath is finished; this Vial Judgment could well take place simultaneously with the Second Coming); and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great (presents the last cataclysmic upheaval). 19 And the great city was divided into three parts (refers to Jerusalem), and the cities of the nations fell (refers to the Middle East, and Possibly parts of Europe as well): and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. (This earthquake, the greatest of them all, will center on Babylon and will completely destroy the city that is scheduled to be rebuilt at this present time [2003]. The first organized rebellion against God began at Babylon, and it will end at Babylon [Gen. 11:1-9].) 20 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found (pertains to the colossal magnitude of this earthquake). 21 And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent (about 100 pounds; one can well imagine the damage that such would cause): and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great. (Once again, those in the kingdom of the beast will know that this plague is from God, but instead of repenting,they will continue to blaspheme Him.)

Daniel 7:7
7 After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns. (This beast represents the Roman Empire, which was the strongest and most powerful of all. It lasted for nearly a thousand years. The phrase, “And it had ten horns,” speak of that which was part of this beast, and for a particular reason. But it had nothing to do with the conquests of the original Roman Empire. These “ten horns” portray ten kingdoms which will arise in the latter days, in fact, in the very near future. These ten nations will persecute Israel.)

Revelation 6:9-11
9 And when he (Christ) had opened the fifth seal (there is no announcement concerning the opening of this Seal, as it had been with the others), I saw under the altar (the Altar of Incense) the souls of them that were slain (does not refer to an intermediate state, for the Resurrection has already taken place, and all now in Heaven have Glorified Bodies; the word “soul” is merely used in the sense of identification and not as a state) for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held (corresponds with Rev 2:11): 10 And they (souls under the Altar) cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true (pertains to far more than a cry for vengeance; more than anything else, it is a cry for the entire episode of sin and shame to end; it is a culmination of the cry of the ages), do you not judge and avenge our blood on them who dwell on the earth? (It is certain that the Lord will “Judge” and “Avenge” [Mat. 12:36].) 11 And white robes were given unto every one of them (symbolizes the Righteousness of the Saints [Rev. 19:8]); and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellow servants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled. (They will have to wait until the conclusion of the Great Tribulation, probably about another five years.)

Revelation 2:11
11 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says unto the churches (the Spirit is saying that, at times, there may be suffering); He who overcomes shall not be hurt of the second death (refers to the Lake of Fire [Rev. 21:8]).

Revelation 14:10
10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture (there will be no Mercy in this Judgment) into the cup of his indignation (when the cup gets full, the Judgment of God will commence; this “cup” is not only full, but is running over with evil); and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone (refers to everyone who receives the mark of the beast, and speaks of Eternal Hell) in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb (refers to the Great White Throne Judgment [20:11-15]):

Mark 16:17
17 And these signs shall follow them who believe (not these “sins” shall follow them who believe); In my name shall they cast out devils (demons -- Jesus defeated Satan,  fallen angels, and all demon spirits at the Cross [Col. 2:14-15]); they shall speak with new tongues (baptism with the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking with other tongues [Acts 2:4]);

Colossians 2:14-15
14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us (pertains to the Law of Moses, which was God’s Standard of Righteousness that man could not reach), which was contrary to us (Law is against us, simply because we are unable to keep its precepts, no matter how hard we try), and took it out of the way (refers to the penalty of the Law being removed), nailing it to his cross (the Law with its decrees was abolished in Christ’s Death, as if Crucified with Him);  15  And having spoiled principalities and powers (Satan and all of his henchmen were defeated at the Cross by Christ Atoning for all sin; sin was the legal right Satan had to hold man in captivity; with all sin atoned, he has no more legal right to hold anyone in bondage), he (Christ) made a shew of them openly (what Jesus did at the Cross was in the face of the whole universe), triumphing over them in it. (The triumph is complete and it was all done for us, meaning we can walk in power and perpetual Victory due the Cross.)

Acts 2:4
4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit (all were filled, not just the Apostles; due to the Cross, the Holy Spirit could now come into the hearts and lives of all Believers to abide permanently [Jn. 14:16]), and began to speak with other tongues (the initial physical evidence that one has been baptized with the Spirit, and was predicted by the Prophet Isaiah [Isa. 28:9-12], and by Christ [Mk. 16:17; Jn. 15:26; 16:13]), as the Spirit gave them utterance (meaning they did not initiate this themselves, but that it was initiated by the Spirit; as we shall see, these were languages known somewhere in the world, but not by the speaker).

John 14:16
16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter (“Parakletos,” which means “One called to the side of another to help”), that he may abide with you forever (before the Cross, the Holy Spirit could only help a few individuals, and then only for a period of time; since the Cross, He lives in hearts and lives of Believers, and does so forever);

John 16:13
13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come (which He did on the Day of Pentecost), he will guide you into all truth (if our Faith is properly placed in Christ and the Cross, the Holy Spirit can then bring forth Truth to us; He doesn’t guide into some truth, but rather “all Truth”): for he shall not speak of himself (tells us not only What He does, but Whom He represents); but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak (doesn’t refer to lack of knowledge, for the Holy Spirit is God, rather He will proclaim the Work of Christ Only): and he will shew you things to come (pertains to the New Covenant, which would shortly be given).

Matthew 24:43
43 But know this, that if the Goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up (as unexpected as this, will likewise be the Coming of the Lord).

1 Thessalonians 5:2-4
2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes (it will begin with the Great Tribulation, and carry on through the Millennium; it will end with the Advent of the New heavens and the New Earth) as a thief in the night. 3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety (refers to Israel, but will as well characterize the world; it pertains to the Antichrist signing the seven-year pact with Israel and other nations [Dan. 9:27]); then sudden destruction comes upon them (at the mid-point of the seven-year period, the Antichrist will break his pact, actually invading Israel [Rev. 12:1-6]), as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. (The Great Tribulation is definitely coming upon this world [Mat. 24:21].) 4 But you, brethren, are not in darkness (Christians have spiritual enlightenment, which comes only from the Word of God), that that day should overtake you as a thief. (No Believer should be caught unawares, but regrettably, it seems many will.)

Daniel 9:27
27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate (“And he shall confirm,” refers to the Antichrist. The phrase, “And in the midst of the week,” refers to three and a half years, at which time the Antichrist will show his true colors and stop the sacrifices in the newly built Temple. At that time, he will actually invade Israel, with her suffering her first defeat since her formation as a Nation in 1948. “Even until the consummation,” means until the end of the seven-year Great Tribulation period. The phrase, “And that determined shall be poured out upon the desolate,” refers to all the Prophecies being fulfilled regarding the great suffering that Israel will go through the last three and a half years of the Great Tribulation [Mat. 24:21-22].)

Revelation 12:1-6
1 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven (should have been translated, “a great sign in Heaven”); a woman clothed with the sun (speaks of National Israel with the “Sun” being a symbol of her Glory), and the moon under her feet (speaks of dominion, hence, the mention of her feet), and upon her head a crown of twelve stars (speaks of dominion regained and Israel restored):  2  And she being with child cried (pertains to the 144,000 Jews who will be saved in the first half of the Great Tribulation [Rev., Chpt. 7]), travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. (This concerns spiritual pregnancy, with agonies of childbirth typifying in the physical what will take place in the spiritual [Isa. 66:7-8].) 3  And there appeared another wonder in heaven (should have been translated, “another sign”); and behold a great red dragon (denotes Satan and his murderous purpose, typified by the color of “red”), having seven heads (refers to Empires that persecuted Israel, even until John’s Day; those Empires were Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, and Rome) and ten horns (represents ten nations that will be ruled by the Antichrist in the last days, and will greatly persecute Israel; actually, the seventh head is those ”ten horns”; Daniel tells us that these ”ten horns” representing ten nations will be in the old Roman Empire Territory, which refers to the Middle East and parts of Europe [Dan. 7:7]), and seven crowns upon his heads (represents the fact that Satan controlled these particular kingdoms).  4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven (this goes all the way back to the original rebellion of Lucifer against God; at that time, one-third of the Angels threw in their lot with him; we know these “stars” represent Angels, because Verse 9 tells us so), and did cast them to the earth (is given to us more clearly in Verses 7-9): and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered (does not pertain to the birth of Christ as many claim, but rather the man child which is the 144,000 Jews who will give their hearts to Christ [Chpt 7]), for to devour her child as soon as it was born. (This pertains to the fact that the Antichrist will hate these Jews who have come to Christ. This will take place in the first half of the Great Tribulation, and may well be the primary reason the Antichrist will turn on Israel at that time.)  5 And she (Israel) brought forth a man child (as stated , this is the 144,000 Jews who will  come to Christ during the first half of the Great Tribulation [Chpt. 7] ; we aren’t told exactly how this will be done), who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron (Israel, under Christ, will definitely fill this role  in the coming Millennial Reign): and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne. (This refers to the Rapture of the 144,000, which will take place at about the midpoint of the Great Tribulation.) 6 And the woman fled into the wilderness (the “woman” is National Israel; at the midpoint of the Great Tribulation, the Antichrist will turn on Israel and defeat her, with many thousands of Jews fleeing into the wilderness), where she hath a place prepared of God (this place is actually ancient Petra, located in Jordan [Isa. 16:1-5]), that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days. (“They” mentioned here refers oddly enough to the Arabs of Jordan. The 1,260 days constitute almost all of the last half of the Great Tribulation. Incidentally, Petra is now empty of people, awaiting the arrival of Israel.)

Matthew 24:21
21 For then shall be great tribulation (the last three and one half years), such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be (the worst the world has ever known, and will be so bad that it will never be repeated).

Isaiah 66:7-8  pg. 1224
(7) Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child. (As the Sixth Verse speaks of the Second Coming, this Verse speaks of the events immediately preceding that all-important occasion. Verses 7 through 17 speaks not only of the travail of Israel, which will take place during the Great Tribulation, but, as well, of her Redemption. “She was delivered of a man child,” refers to the 144,000 Jews who will be saved during the first half of the Great Tribulation [Rev. 7:4-8].)  (8)  Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children. (It is as if the Holy Spirit, anticipating the incredulity of the Reader, asks, “Who has heard such a thing?” The statement, “For as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children,” refers to the terrible horror of the latter half of the Great Tribulation, and especially the Battle of Armageddon, when it looks like Israel will be totally annihilated. In this terrible judgment, producing great “travail,” Israel will be brought back to God. These birth pangs of Israel are referred to here and in the following [Dan. 12:1; Zech 12:10 Zech 13:1; Mat. 24:8, 15-22; Rev. 12: 1-6, 14].)

Genesis 11:1-9
1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech (before the flood and immediately after the flood, there was only one language on the face of the Earth; even though we have no way of knowing specifically, that language was probably Hebrew). 2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east (doesn’t refer to every single person, but rather that a great group went in that direction, more than likely led by Nimrod; the phrase,  “from the east,” should have been translated “in the east”), that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. (This prince, Nimrod and his city Babylon, and the plain on which it was erected, Shinar, all claim attention. They represent Satan’s efforts, using man as his agent, to oppose and destroy God’s Plans. God has His Prince and His City; so has Satan.And these opposing princes with their cities occupy most of the pages of the Bible -- the closing pages of the Book revealing the triumph of Immanuel and Jerusalem over the Antichrist and Babylon.) 3 And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter (considering the materials with which they were to use, they definitely did not plan for this city and tower to be temporary). 4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven (probably signifies the worship of the Zodiac, i.e., “planetary bodies”); and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. (“They said” marks the undeniable evil of the human heart. They had no regard for what God wanted. In this one Verse, we find the seedbed of all rebellion against God, whether then or now! In fact, this was the very first organized rebellion against God. The Lord has told Noah and his sons to “be fruitful, multiply, and replenish the Earth” [9:1]. Now, the followers of Nimrod are doing the very opposite. The Lord wanted mankind to be scattered over the Earth, but these rebels were determined to defy what God desired.) 5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men built (men rule, but God overrules). 6 And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language (which was actually the Will of God); and this they begin to do (to rebel against God): and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do (in other words, their rebellion will only intensify). 7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. (The pronoun “Us”, as it regards the Lord, proclaims the Trinity; there is one God, but manifests in three Persons, “God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.” At least a hundred or more languages were here introduced, which made it impossible for these rebels to function together with any type of cohesion.) 8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth (those who spoke the same language banded together and went elsewhere): and they left off to build the city (there is some evidence that they finished the tower, but not the city). 9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel (means “confusion,” “Babel” is also the Hebrew Name for “Babylon,” the tower of Babel and the city itself, for that matter, had their origin in deliberate, determined, enthusiastic, exalting hostility to the Divine purpose, that they should spread themselves abroad upon the face of the whole Earth; and herein lies the essence of all rebellion: whatever thought, counsel, or word derives its inspiration, be it only in an infinitesimal degree, from antagonism to the Mind of God, that is sin); because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth. (As stated, men rule, but God overrules!)

This world is full of sin and those who rejects God and the teachings of Jesus Christ, will be lost and will suffer in hell for all eternity. People who are living in bondage of sin, look at the following to give you the perfect example, we have already mentioned them and they are as follows; being an alcoholic, cursing in any way, smoking, gambling, having sex outside of marriage, being a sex offender, being a murderer, stealing, which lines right up with smoking and drinking, it steals the health that is in your body that belongs to God and destroy’s the temple of God, which is the body that you are in, that is murder. I could mention more, but I think you do get the picture. All of these things are “Blasphemy”, against the Holy Spirit. If you are living in such a way that is on the outside of Jesus Christ, whom is God, you are none of His son’s or daughters. You belong to the devil, your place will end in hell for all eternity. The Spirit of God will depart from any person who is living in sin. As we have seen tonight, not all blessings are from God above, but from god underneath, which is Lucifer, AKA, Satan.
Every time you light up a cigarette, who are you really worshiping and serving? Every time you crack open a can or bottle of beer or wine, whom are worshiping and serving? I will be blunt and straight forward with the Word of God, its not God from above. Humans were not created to live in the image of Satan and just to die. We were created to live Christ like, Worship God above and live and to never die. Death came into play due to the fall of man, thanks to Adam and Eve. The grave sites are here due to sin of this world.
God created us to live forever and never to die.
What kind of life are you living? Is it for the flesh? To get drunk on poison? Tod smoke and die to cancer and other illnesses that those rat poison sticks causes? I called it rat poison, is because it has rat poison, bug killer spray’s, cutting to the chase, it has over 600 plus poisons in it.
This is going on all around the world and everyone who is taking part of this is destined for hell, not Heaven. Listen closely as we prepare to close out this study, if you are living in any type of sin, your going to hell. I thank God for coming to earth, as Jesus Christ, to die on the Cross, so we have a way to be forgiven and free from the bondage of sin and to be Saved from the wrath of eternal hell fire. Jesus Christ came to attempt save the world, not to destroy it. This world is in a world of hurts and you do not have to be like the world. You may live in this world but, you don’t have to be part of this world. Be separated from this world. There is a way to get out of this sinful mess. If you accept Jesus Christ into your hearts and deny yourselves, meaning dieing to sin and becoming alive in the name of Jesus Christ, and turn away from sin, believe in what Jesus Christ did for you on the Cross and repent from all of your misconducts, meaning sins, you will be filled and Baptized by and with the Holy Ghost and you will be Saved. This is the sign of the End Times that the God’s Word has been warning about, from the Holy Bible.
Friends, you can’t hold hands with God and walk with the devil at the same time, you will loose in hell fire. You have 3 Crosses, you only have 2 choices, Heaven or hell, you only have 1 Savior, Jesus Christ. My question for you tonight is, whose it gonna be? B.I.B.L.E. stands for,Basic. Instructions. Before. Leaving. Earth. Lets close in prayer.

End-Times Part 6 From The Book of Revelation 

[Note to Blog Readers: The Expositor’s Notes are in Bold Italic Font]

Everyone that is an alcoholic thinks that there is nothing wrong about drinking and getting drunk, that is a lie from hell and many people are so blinded by satan’s darkness. Yes, Jesus turned water into wine, according to the scriptures from the Word of God. However, the wine that Jesus maid was 100 percent grape juice, there was no alcohol in it. The drunkenness that is talked about was drunkenness in the Holy Spirit. Sinners of the world reads and takes scriptures way out of context. Anyone who is living in sin of any kind, God’s wrath will be on your hands. Living in alcoholism, drunkenness, rape, sex, smoking, using foul language and using God’s name in vain, murdering, will be subject for God’s wrath in hell, unless you repent, accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, have faith and belief in what Jesus Christ did for you on the Cross, you will be Baptized by the Holy Ghost and you will be Saved. You need to be obedient to God by doing what He has commanded in scripture, that is getting Water Baptized. Water does not save anyone but, it is to be done, its called being obedient. Its all part of God’s plan of Salvation.

End-times Part 6 From the Book of Revelation Chapter 15

Revelation 15:1-8 

1 And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues (proclaims the concluding Judgments upon the territory of the Antichrist, which will be the worst); for in them is filled up the wrath of God (should have been translated, “anger of God”). 2 And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire (is that which is immediately before the Throne of God and mentioned in [Rev. 4:6]): and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name (this group was murdered by the Antichrist), stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God (presents a picture of peace and tranquility). 3 And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God (is the song given to us in [Deut. 32:1-43]; it is recorded that Moses wrote this song and taught it to the people [Deut. 31:22]), and the song of the Lamb (this is the second song, and begins with the Crucifixion, which was absolutely necessary if man was to be redeemed, and closes with Jesus Christ as “King of kings, Lord of lords”), saying, Great and marvellous are your works, Lord God Almighty (refers to Christ; while all His Works are “great and marvelous,” what he did at the Cross presents itself as the greatest work of all); just and true are your ways, thou King of saints. (Christ is our King by virtue of what He did at the Cross, and our Faith in that Finished Work.) 4 Who shall not fear you, O Lord, and glorify your name? (This leaps ahead to the Millennial Reign. At that time,every human being on the face of the Earth will fear the Lord, and will glorify His Name as well.) for you only are holy (speaks of the origination of Holiness, and that this Holiness can be given to believers by virtue of what Christ did at the Cross): for all nations shall come and worship before you (refers to the Millennial Reign); for  judgments are made manifest (refers to the fact that the Judgment of God will be poured out upon the Antichrist during the Battle of Armageddon, where he will be defeated along with the entirety of his Army). 5 And after that I looked (refers to the Vials about to be poured out), and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened (has reference to the Holy of  Holies, where the Ark of the Covenant was kept; this is a witness both to the Holiness of God’s Character and the Justice of His Government): 6 And the seven angels came out of the temple, having the seven plagues(constitutes the Vial Judgments), clothed in pure and white linen (indicates the perfect Righteousness of the acts that are to be performed on Earth), and having their breasts girded with golden girdles (presents the same attire as that of our Lord [Rev. 1:13], signifying that what they are about to do pertains solely to the Work of Christ; in other words, Christ is in charge of all Judgments). 7 And one of the four beasts (“Living Ones” described in [4:7-8]) gave unto the seven angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who liveth for ever and ever (proclaims the fact, as stated, that these Judgments on the Earth will be worst of all). 8 And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power (presents itself as very similar to the dedication of Solomon’s Temple, in which the latter Temple was a replica of the one in Heaven); and no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled. (Constitutes the last few months of the Great Tribulation. The Idea of no man being able to enter the Temple during this period of time seems to be that no one would be permitted to enter to make intercession, to turn away God’s wrath to divert Him from His Purpose.)

Revelation 4:6 

6  And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal (presents that which is perfectly transparent): and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts (living creatures) full of eyes before and behind. (This is introducing creatures we have no knowledge of and which are beyond comprehension, as so much in Heaven actually is.)

Deuteronomy 32:1-43 

1 Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth (both Heaven and Earth are called to account, because this song affects both). 2 My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass (the Word of the Lord always brings prosperity): 3 Because I will publish the name of the LORD: ascribe ye greatness unto our God (it is the Greatness of God as the Almighty that is celebrated here). 4 He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he. (Five times in this Song Jehovah is praised as the rock [Vss. 4, 15, 18, 30-31]. The occurrences in Verses 31 and 37 ironically refer to the false rocks of the nations. Five is the number of Grace.) 5 They have corrupted themselves, their spot is not the spot of his children: they are a perverse and crooked generation. (Israel claimed to be Children of God, but they were not; they were rather a stain and a reproach [Isa. 1:4]. How much does this pertain to the modern Church?) 6 Do ye thus requite the LORD (repay Him for His Blessings by corrupting yourselves), O foolish people and unwise? is not he your father that hath bought you? Has he not made you, and established you? 7 Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask your father, and he will shew you; your elders, and they will tell you. 8 When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel (long before there was an Israel, the Lord was planning for them). 9 For the LORD's portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance (the Lord measured out the inheritance of Israel, and did it Personally). 10 He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye (this must be taken as indicating that Israel is ever in the Eye of the Lord, the object of His constant and tenderest care). 11 As an eagle stirs up her nest, flutters over her young, spreads abroad her wings, taketh them, bears them on her wings: 12 So the LORD alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him (Israel must admit that none of the strange gods worshipped by the heathen had anything to do with what the Lord Alone had done for them). 13 He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock (blessings); 14 Butter of kine (cattle), and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and you did drink the pure blood of the grape. (This does not speak of fermented wine, as some claim. What they esteem as a luxury was pure unadulterated juice of the grape,  freshly pressed out and drunk with the foam on it. [Verses 7-14] celebrate His Goodness and Bounty during the period of the Pentateuch.) 15 But Jeshurun waxed fat (“Jeshurun” means “righteous”; He predicts that Israel will fall into a state, the opposite of that to which it was destined), and kicked: you are waxed fat, you are grown thick, you are covered with fatness; then he forsook God which made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation. ([Verses 15-19] Record Israel’s evil response to that goodness during the period of their kings. They foolishly esteemed the “Rock.”) 16 They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations provoked they him to anger (sinners in the hands of an angry God). 17 They sacrificed unto devils (demons), not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not (gods recently invented or discovered). 18 Of the Rock that begat you you are unmindful, and have forgotten God that formed you (rebelled against their Maker). 19 And when the LORD saw it (saw the idols), he abhorred them, because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters. 20 And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be: for they are a very froward generation, children in whom is no faith. (This Verse contemplates the period between the Captivity in Babylon and the Advent of the Messiah. They had faith all right, but it was in the wrong thing, their own religion. It is the same problem presently!) 21 They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation. (This Verse relates to the period of the Acts of the Apostles [Rom. 10:11]. It pertains to the Lord turning to the Gentiles.) 22 For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains. ([Verses 22-33] relates to Israel’s dispersion among the nations of the world, after A.D. 70.) 23 I will heap mischiefs upon them; I will spend mine arrows upon them (as Righteousness brings Blessings, wickedness brings Judgment). 24 They shall be burnt with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, and with bitter destruction: I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them, with the poison of serpents of the dust. 25 The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling also with the man of gray hairs (has happened to Israel countless times in the last nearly 2,000 years, but more particularly during the Holocaust of World War II). 26 I said, I would scatter them into corners, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men (at least what they once have been): 27 Were it not that I feared the wrath of the enemy (could be translated, “That I should be provoked to wrath by the enemy ascribing the destruction of Israel to their own prowess”), lest their adversaries (Israel’s adversaries) should behave themselves strangely, and lest they should say, Our hand is high, and the LORD hath not done all this (the enemies of Israel should realize that they can only do to Israel what God allows them to do; and to be sure, one day He will turn on the enemies of Israel, and will do so with a fury [Read Ezek., Chpts. 38-39 on your own]). 28 For they are a nation void of counsel, neither is there any understanding in them. 29 O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end! (The end result would result of forsaking God.) 30 How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the LORD had shut them up? 31 For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges (that “Rock” was Christ [1 Cor. 10:4]). 32 For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter (by using Sodom and Gomorrah as comparisons, the Lord is saying that Israel is good for nothing but destruction): 33 Their wine is the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps (and this is said of Israel by the Lord; so we know now why they crucified the Saviour). 34 Is not this laid up in store with me, and sealed up among my treasures? ([Verses 34-43] pertain to  Israel’s sufferings under the future Antichrist, and their final restoration.) 35 To me belongs vengeance and recompence; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste (the coming Great Tribulation [Mat. 24:21]). 36 For the LORD shall judge his people, and repent himself for his servants, when he sees that their power is gone, and there is none shut up, or left (Israel is at the place of extermination, which they will be under the Antichrist; then the Lord will, in effect, say, “It’s enough!”). 37 And he shall say, Where are their gods, their rock in whom they trusted, 38 Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink offerings? let them rise up and help you, and be your protection (of course, there will be none to help; this speaks of the coming Battle of Armageddon). 39 See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand (there is no God but Jehovah). 40 For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live for ever. 41 If I whet my glittering sword, and mine hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to mine enemies, and will reward them that hate me. 42 I will make mine arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh; and that with the blood of the slain and of the captives, from the beginning of revenges upon the enemy (this is the Battle of Armageddon, described in Ezekiel, Chapters 38-39). 43 Rejoice, O ye nations, with his people: for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be merciful unto his land, and to his people (this pertains to the Second Coming, when the Lord will then “avenge the blood of His servants” [Zech. 14:1-4]).

Deuteronomy 31:22 

22 Moses therefore wrote this song the same day, and taught it the children of Israel.

Revelation 1:13 

13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man (Jesus is the Head of the Church the Centerpiece of it’s activity), clothed with a garment down to the foot (indicates his position as King-Priest), and girt about the paps with a golden girdle (presents kingly apparel; Christ is the King- Priest).

Revelation 4:7-8 

7  And the first beast (living creature) was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle. ( These strange creatures are before the Throne constantly.) 8  And the four beasts (living creatures) had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within (signifying the revealing of their innermost nature and being): and they rest not day and night (proclaiming that these beings are “spirit” and not “Flesh”), saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come. (Using the threefold repetition calls attention to the infinite Holiness of God.)

Isaiah 1:4 

4 Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.(According to Isaiah, holiness is the most essential element of God’s nature; hence, he would call Him “the Holy One of Israel.” In their forsaking the Lord, Judah did not renounce His worship, but actually continued it; however, it was reduced to mere formality. The people “honored Him with their lips, while their hearts were far from Him” [Isa. 29:13].)

Isaiah 29:13  

13 Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men (this Passage was quoted by Christ [Mat. 15:7-9]; there are four causes of spiritual blindness recorded here: 1. Drawing near to God with the mouth only; 2. Honoring Him with lips only; 3. Removing the heart far from Him; and, 4. Fearing Him only after the precept of men):

Matthew 15:7-9  

7 You (was said to their faces) hypocrites, well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,  8  This people draw near unto me with their mouth, and honor me with their lips; but their heart is far from me (this defines the hypocrite).  9  But in vain they do worship me (worship that was not accepted by God indicative of much of the modern Church as well!), teaching for doctrines the commandments of men (anything that adds to or takes away from the Word of God).

1 Corinthians 10:4 

4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink (refers to  the Smitten Rock [Ex. 17:6; Num. 20:11; Ps. 78:15]): for they drank (says literally, “they were drinking,” implying a continuous gift) of that spiritual Rock that followed them (there is a Jewish legend that says the original Smitten Rock at Redhidim [Ex. 17:6] followed them throughout their entire Wilderness Journey and supplied water for them; every evidence is that it was true): and that Rock was Christ (the Rock typified Christ).

Exodus 17:6  

6 Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel. (This is one of the most beautiful Types found in the entirety of Scripture. The “Rock” was a Type of Christ [1 Cor. 10:1-4]. The Rock being “smitten” typified the Cross [Isa. 53:4]. The “water” coming out of the Rock was a Type of the Holy Spirit [Jn. 7:37-39]. However, the water, i.e., “the Holy Spirit,” was not available until the Rock [Christ] was [crucified -- Jn. 14:16-20]. In Fact, Christ, the Cross, our Faith, and the Holy Spirit constitute the basis of Christianity [Gal. Chpt. 5].)

1 Corinthians 10:1-4  

1 Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant (this means the Holy Spirit doesn’t want us to be ignorant about these Truths), how that all our fathers were under the cloud (the Presence of God, which led Israel), and all passed through the sea (the Red Sea, typifying passing from the death to life);  2  And were all baptized unto Moses (the Law-Giver was a Type of Christ) in the cloud (a Type of the Presence of the Lord) and in the sea (a type of Water Baptism);  3  And did all eat the same spiritual meat (speaking of the Manna as a type of the “Lord’s Supper”);  4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink (refers to  the Smitten Rock [Ex. 17:6; Num. 20:11; Ps. 78:15]): for they drank (says literally, “they were drinking,” implying a continuous gift) of that spiritual Rock that followed them (there is a Jewish legend that says the original Smitten Rock at Redhidim [Ex. 17:6] followed them throughout their entire Wilderness Journey and supplied water for them; every evidence is that it was true): and that Rock was Christ (the Rock typified Christ).

Isaiah 53:4  

4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. (Twelve times within the space of nine Verses the Prophet asserts, with the most emphatic reiteration, that all Servants’s sufferings were vicarious; i.e., borne for man to save him from the consequences of his sins, to enable him to escape punishment. In other words,  Jesus did all of this all for us. “Yet we did esteem Him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted,” proclaims the fact that because He died on a Cross, Israel assumed that he died under the curse of God, because Moses had said, “For he who is hanged is accursed of God” [Deut. 21:23]. What they did not understand was that He was not accursed, neither in Himself was cursed, but in fact was “made a curse for us.” Israel assumed He was “smitten of God,” and, in a sense, He was. He suffered in our stead, actually as our Substitute, which means that the blow that should have come to us instead went to Him. But yet, it was not for His sins, because He had none, but instead was for our sins. He was “afflicted” for us. As stated, He was our Substitute.)

Deuteronomy 21:23 

23 His body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but you shall in any wise bury him that day; (for he that is hanged is accursed of God;) that your land be not defiled, which the LORD your God giveth you for an inheritance. (This is the reason that the religious leaders of Israel demanded that Jesus be put on the Cross. [Mat. 27:23]. They knew that one put on the tree was accursed of God, and so they reasoned that the people would then think, were He really the Messiah, God would never allow Him to be put on the Cross. They did not realize that the Lord had foretold the event of the Cross some 1,500 years earlier, as it concerned the brazen serpent on the pole [Num. 21:8-9]. It was necessary that Jesus go to the Cross, in order that He might atone for all the sins of mankind, at least for all who will believe [Jn. 3:16]. So, Jesus was made a curse on the Cross, not because of His sins, for He had none, but for the sin of the whole world, and for all time [Jn. 1:29; Gal. 3: 13].) 

Matthew 27:23  

23 And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? (He had done no evil. He was perfect! He had never sinned.) But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified (proclaims them offering no answer to the question of Pilate, because they had no answer; as the morning sun begins to break over Olivet, it will dawn on a day of infamy such as the world has never seen before or since).

Numbers 21:8-9

8  And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole (the “serpent,” i.e., “sin and Satan,” was the reason for the Cross, and the pole was a Type of the Cross): and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looks upon it, shall live (everyone who looks to Christ and the Cross has the sentence of death abated and, therefore, shall “live”).  9  And Moses made a serpent of brass (copper), and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived (approximately 400 years earlier, the Lord had shown Abraham the manner of Salvation; it would be through the death of an innocent victim, namely the Son of God [Jn.8:36]; it was to Moses, however, as recorded here, that the Lord proclaimed the way that the Son of God would die; it would be by the Cross, symbolized by the serpent on the pole).

John 8:36 

36 If the Son therefore shall make you free (Christ Alone can make one free, and He does so through and by what He did at the Cross, and our Faith in that Finished Work), you shall be free indeed (a freedom which the world cannot give and in fact, doesn’t even understand).

John 3:16 

16 For God so loved the world (presents the God kind of love), that he gave his only begotten Son (gave Him up to the Cross, for that’s what it took to redeem humanity), that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

John 1:29 

29 The next day (refers to the day after John had been questioned by the emissaries from the Sanhedrin) John sees Jesus coming unto him (is, no doubt, after the Baptism of Jesus, and the temptation in the wilderness), and said, Behold the Lamb of God (proclaims Jesus as the Sacrifice for sin, in fact, the Sin-Offering, Whom all the multiple millions of offered lambs had represented), which taketh away the sin of the world (animal blood could only cover sin, it could not take it away; but Jesus offering Himself as the Perfect Sacrifice Took away the sin of the world; He not only cleansed acts of sin, but, as well addressed the root cause [Col. 2:14-15])

Colossians 2:14-15 

14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us (pertains to the Law of Moses, which was God’s Standard of Righteousness that man could not reach), which was contrary to us (Law is against us, simply because we are unable to keep its precepts, no matter how hard we try), and took it out of the way (refers to the penalty of the Law being removed), nailing it to his cross (the Law with its decrees was abolished in Christ’s Death, as if Crucified with Him);  15  And having spoiled principalities and powers (Satan and all of his henchmen were defeated at the Cross by Christ Atoning for all sin; sin was the legal right Satan had to hold man in captivity; with all sin atoned, he has no more legal right to hold anyone in bondage), he (Christ) made a shew of them openly (what Jesus did at the Cross was in the face of the whole universe), triumphing over them in it. (The triumph is complete and it was all done for us, meaning we can walk in power and perpetual Victory due the Cross.)

.

Galatians 3:13 

13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law (He did so on the Cross), being made a curse for us (He took the penalty of the Law, which was death): for it is written, Cursed is every one who hangs on a tree (Gal. 3:13):

John 7:37-39  

37 In the last day, that great day of the feast (spoke of the eighth day of the Feast of Tabernacles), Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink (presents the greatest invitation ever given to mortal man).  38  He who believes on me (it is “not doing” but rather, “believing”), as the scripture has said (refers to the Word of God being the Story of Christ and Him Crucified; all the Sacrifices pointed to Christ and what He would do at the Cross, as well as the entirety of the entirety of the Tabernacle and Temple and all their appointments), out of his belly (innermost being) shall flow rivers of living water (speaks of Christ directly, and Believers indirectly).  39  (But this spake he of the Spirit (Holy Spirit), which they that believe on him should receive (it would begin on the Day of Pentecost): for the Holy Ghost was not yet given (He has now been given); because that Jesus was not yet glorified.) (The time of which John wrote was shortly before the Crucifixion. When Jesus died on the Cross and was Resurrected three days later, He was raised with a Glorified Body, which was one of the signs that all sin had been atoned, now making it possible for the Holy Spirit to come in a new dimension.)

John 14:16-20  

16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter (“Parakletos,” which means “One called to the side of another to help”), that he may abide with you forever (before the Cross, the Holy Spirit could only help a few individuals, and then only for a period of time; since the Cross, He lives in hearts and lives of Believers, and does so forever);  17  Even the Spirit of truth (the Greek says, “The Spirit of the Truth,” which refers to the Word of God; actually, He does far more than merely superintend the attribute of Truth, as Christ “is Truth” [1 Jn. 5:6]); whom the world cannot receive (the Holy Spirit cannot come into the heart of the unbeliever until that person makes Christ his or her Saviour; then He comes in), because it sees him not, neither knows him (refers to the fact that only Born-Again Believers can understand the Holy Spirit and know Him): but you know him (would have been better translated, “But you shall get to know Him”); for he dwells with you (before the Cross), and shall be in you (which would take place on the Day of Pentecost and forward, because the sin debt has been forever paid by Christ on the Cross, changing the disposition of everything).  18  I will not leave you comfortless (helpless): I will come to you (through the Person of the Holy Spirit).  19  Yet a little while, and the world sees me no more (in a few days He would be taken back to Glory); but you see me (after the Day of Pentecost, we will see Christ in the Person of the Holy Spirit): because I live, you shall live also (refers to His coming Resurrection, which guarantees the Work of the Cross).  20  At that day (after the Resurrection, and the coming of the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost) you shall know that I am in my Father (speaks of Deity; Jesus is God!), and you in me (has to do with our Salvation by Faith), and I in you (enables us to live a victorious life [Gal. 2:20]).

Galatians 2:20  

20 I am crucified with Christ (as the Foundation of all Victory; Paul, here, takes us back to [Rom. 6:3-5]): nevertheless I live (have new life); yet not I (not by my own strength and ability), but Christ lives in me (by virtue of me dying with Him on the Cross, and being raised with Him in Newness of Life): and the life which I now live in the flesh (my daily walk before God) I live by the faith of the Son of God (the Cross is ever the Object of my Faith), who loved me, and gave himself for me (which is the only way that I could be Saved).

Romans 6:3-5

(3)Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ (plainly says that this Baptism is into Christ and Not Water [1 Cor. 1:17; 12:13; Gal. 3:27; Eph. 4:5; Col. 2:11-13]) were baptized into his death? (When Christ died on the Cross, in the Mind of God, we died with Him; in other words, He became our Substitute, and our identification with Him in His Death gives us all the benefits for which He died; the idea is that He did it all for us!) (4) Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death (not only did we die with Him, but we were buried with Him as well, which means that all the sins and transgressions of the past were buried; when they put Him in the Tomb, they put all our sins into the Tomb as well): that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life (we died with Him, we were buried with him, and His Resurrection was our Resurrection to a “Newness of Life”).  (5)  For if we have been planted together (with Christ) in the likeness of his death (Paul proclaims the Cross as the Instrument through which all Blessings come; consequently, the Cross must ever be the Object of our Faith, which gives the Holy Spirit latitude to work within our lives), we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection(we can have the “likeness of His Resurrection,” i.e., “live this Resurrection Life,” only as long as we understand the “likeness of His Death,” which refers to the Cross as the Means by which  all of this is done)

1 Corinthians 1:17  

For Christ sent me not to baptize (presents to us a Cardinal Truth), but to preach the gospel (the manner in which one may be Saved from sin): not with wisdom of words (intellectualism is not the Gospel), lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect. (This tells us in no uncertain terms that the Cross of Christ must always be the emphasis of the Message.)

1 Corinthians 12:13 

For by one Spirit (the Holy Spirit alone does this) are we all baptized into one body (at Salvation, the Holy Spirit Baptizes the Believing sinner into the Body of Christ, which is the Born-Again experience; it doesn’t refer to Water Baptism), whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free (all must come in the same manner, “by and through Jesus Christ and what He did at the Cross”); and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. (The Holy Spirit is the agent Who affects the work of Redemption carried out in our lives, which is made possible by the Death, Burial, Resurrection, Ascension, and Exaltation of Christ.)

Galatians 3:27 

For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ (refers to the Baptism into His Death and Calvary [Rom. 6:3-5]; the reference is not to Water Baptism) have put on Christ (means to be clothed with Him [Jn. 14:20]).

Ephesians 4:5 

One Lord (Jesus Christ), one faith (what He did at the Cross), one baptism (our Salvation, referring to Believers Baptized into Christ, which was done at the Cross; it has nothing to do with Water Baptism [Rom. 6:3-5]),

Colossians 2:11-13  

In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands (that which is brought about by the Cross [Rom. 6:3-5]), in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ (refers to the old carnal nature that is defeated by the Believer placing his Faith totally in the Cross, which gives the Holy Spirit latitude to work):  (12)  Buried with him in baptism (does not refer to Water Baptism, but rather to the Believer baptized into the death of Christ, which refers to the Crucifixion and Christ as our substitute [Rom. 6:3-4]), wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. (This does not refer to our future physical Resurrection, but to that spiritual Resurrection from a sinful state into Divine Life. We died with Him [Rom. 6:3-5], and herein lies the secret to all Spiritual Victory.)  (13)  And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh (speaks of spiritual death [i.e., “separation from God”], which sin does!), hath he quickened together with him (refers to being made spiritually alive, which is done through being “Born-Again”), having forgiven you all trespasses (the Cross made it possible for all manner of sins to be forgiven and taken away);

Numbers 20:11  

11 And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice (the Lord told him to speak to the Rock, not smite the Rock; to smite the Rock, in essence, greatly abrogated the Type; the Rock smitten in Rephidim was a Type of the Sacrifice of Christ on the Cross; to smite the Rock again, in essence, stated that the first Sacrifice was insufficient, and would have to be repeated; such a sin was great! Regrettably, much of the modern Church world continues to smite the Rock, committing the same sin as Moses; in fact, the sin is much worse presently, because the Rock is now history instead of prophetic): and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their beasts also (we should not mistake the Blessings of the Lord for the approval of the Lord; that is always a mistake).

Psalms 78:15 

15  He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink as out of the great depths (the water out of the Rock).

Matthew 24:21 

21 For then shall be great tribulation (the last three and one half years), such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be (the worst the world has ever known, and will be so bad that it will never be repeated).

Zechariah 14:1-4 

1 Behold, the day of the LORD comes, and your spoil shall be divided in the midst of you (“Behold, the day of the LORD comes,” presents this day beginning with the Second Coming and lasting until the end of the Millennium. At that time, the end of the Millennium, the “Day of God” begins and will continue through eternity [1 Cor. 15:24-28; Eph. 1:10; II Pet. 3:10-13]. “And  your spoil shall be divided in the midst of you,” concerns the Antichrist coming against Israel [Ezek 38:11-12].).  2  For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city. (The first phrase refers to the mobilization of the nations to Armageddon [Ezek. Chpts. 38-39; Joel Chpt. 3 Rev. 16:13-16; 19:11-21]. “And the city shall be taken,” actually means that the Antichrist will prepare to take Jerusalem, with actually half of it being taken. The phrase, “And the houses rifled, and the women ravished,” expresses extreme cruelty practiced by the army of the Antichrist. “And half of the city shall go forth into captivity,” means that half of Jerusalem will fall to advances of the Antichrist, with the other half fighting furiously to save themselves, but with futility, other than the Coming of the Lord. Actually, the phrasing of the Sentence structure portrays Israel fighting with ferocity that knows no bounds, but yet not able to stand against the powerful onslaught of the combined armies of the man of sin. “And the Residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city,” refers to the army of Israel already cut to pieces, but determined to defend the city, even house to house, and, if necessary, to die to the last man.) 3  Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. (“Then” is the Key word!

1. “Then”: when Israel will begin to cry to God for Deliverance, Knowing that He is their only hope.

2. “Then”: when half of Jerusalem has fallen and it looks like the other half is about to fall.

3. “Then”: when it looks like every Jew will be annihilated, with two-thirds already killed.

4. “Then”: when it looks like the Promises of God made to the Patriarchs and Prophets of old will fall down.

5. “Then”: when it looks like the Antichrist will win this conflict, which will make Satan the lord of the Earth.

“Then shall the LORD go forth,” refers to the Second Coming, which will be the most cataclysmic event that the world has ever known. “And fight against those nations,” pertains to the nations under the banner of the Antichrist, which have set out to destroy Israel, and actually with annihilation in mind. “As when He fought in the day of battle,” probably refers to the time when the Lord led the Children of Israel out of Egypt by way of the Red Sea [Ex. 14:14; 15:3]. This was Israel’s first battle when Jehovah Messiah “went forth” and fought for them. Israel then passed through a valley between mountains of water; in this, their last battle, they will escape through a valley between mountains of rock, which the next Verse proclaims.) 4  And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south. (The first phrase refers to Christ literally standing on the Mount of Olives, which will be His landing point at the Second Coming, fulfilling the prediction of the two Angels at His Ascension [Acts 1:10-11]. “And the Mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west,” actually speaks of a great topographical change, which Israel will use at that hour as a way of escape from the Antichrist. With every road blocked, the Lord will open a way through the very center of the mountain, as He opened a path through the Red Sea. “And there shall be a very great valley,” refers to the escape route of Israel. “And half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south,” refers to the wall of rock on either side of escaping Israel, which makes it similar to the wall of water on either side when Israel escaped Egypt.)

Acts 1:10-11 

10 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up (these statements are important because they affirm His actual Ascension testified to by eyewitnesses), behold, two men stood by them in white apparel (these two “men” were actually Angels);  11  Which also said, You men of Galilee, why do you stand  gazing up into heaven? (This does not mean that it was only men who were present, but rather that this was a common term used for both men and women.) this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven (refers to the same Human Body with the nail prints in His Hands and Feet, etc.), shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven (refers to the same place, which is the Mount of Olivet).

We have went in depth quite a bit, about the end times, so far. As you can tell, we have a whole lot more to go through yet. The bowls that was talked about in scripture, was the bowl of wrath of God. By the way you live, the words you speak, the gestures you make, like what we stated in the beginning of this lesson, is what will bring on the bowls of wrath of God on you. You can’t live as the world and expect to go to Heaven. Once saved, always saved is a lie from hell, Satan and his demons. With what your doing in life, who is your master? Who is your God? Whom are you serving? If your living in sin, I can tell ya, its not God Almighty.

I know that I am sounding a kind of harsh but, according to the Word of God, sin cannot and will not enter into the Kingdom of God, if it does, it will burst into flames. If you have any sin remaining in your life and you die, you will be in hell. Take your sins to the Cross and lay them there and walk away. Call upon the Lord Jesus Christ, whom is God Almighty and repent. The Blood of Jesus Christ was pored out to save your soul. God did not come to earth as Jesus Christ to destroy you with the world, He came to save it, thanks for the fall of man, due to Adam and Eve. God has told us in His Word, you maybe in this world, but you do not have to be part of this world. Come out and be separate from the world and live in Jesus Christ and be Christ like and you will be Saved. God has paved a way for you to be reborn again and to live a righteous life . Come to God and have your sins washed away by the Blood of Jesus Christ today. Lets close in prayer.
