End of World Prophecy-The Long and the Short of It-The Revelation of Jesus Christ

      End of World Bible Prophecy-The Long and the Short of It- The Revelation of Jesus Christ

This is an ongoing major Biblical Research Project. I felt led to compare the different End of World Prophecies in Isaiah, Ezekiel, etc. with those in The Revelation of Jesus Christ, analyzing for consistency and inconsistencies. I realized when I first started taking notes on The Revelation of Jesus Christ, it covered lots of pertinent details. I was concerned that it might be difficult for me to pair up the portions of the end of world prophecy from other books of the Bible with those in Revelation. [I will use the word ‘Revelation’ most often rather than write out The Revelation of Jesus Christ, each time. Also, I often abbreviate it as ‘Rev’ in the table I used that has been put after all my research analysis, for those who would like to compare it further online.

During this process, I decided to write my notes for Revelation in small chunks, because it would make it easier for me to locate the parts I was trying to analyze with the book of the Bible I am comparing. Additionally, I realized that it would make it easier for others to view this analysis in its entirety on either of these two blogs I felt led to create: Biblical Proof! at https://BiblicalProof.blogspot.com/ and on Do Biblical Inconsistencies Really Matter? at https://Biblicalinconsistencies.blogspot.com/  I have recently felt let to add another blog to post this on: End of World Bible Prophecy at https://EndOfWorldBibleProphecy.blogspot.com/

This Biblical Research Project will be completed with the use of the New King James Version [NKJV] of the Bible unless noted otherwise. I may utilize online sites as a resource, if needed.  If something doesn’t seem clear, I may put who or what is being referred to within brackets for clarity. Additionally, I put my analysis, evaluation, comments, and opinions within brackets and will tip you off,  when I’m sharing that. For those who plan to access this information further online, I ended up color coding particular aspects of Revelation verses in the table to make it easier when I compare it with the other other end of world predictions .

The following Bible passage is noteworthy. Rev 22:18-20 For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this  book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; & if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, & from the things which are written in this book. He who testifies of these things says, “Surely I am coming quickly.” Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus! The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

In order to maintain the integrity of the Bible passages and not alter it in any significant way,  I sometimes paraphrase or condense things to conserve space. Often, I put an ‘&’ sign instead of spelling out the word ‘and’. Additionally, I use the numeral instead of spelling out the numbers or combine things that are similar. This is an example of how I condensed it while maintaining the passage’s integrity: Rev 7:4-8 John heard the number of those sealed:144,00 of all the tribes of the children of Israel were sealed. 12,000 each of the following tribes were sealed: the Tribes of Judah, Reuben, Gad, Asher, Naphtali, Manasseh, Simeon, Levi, Issachar, Zebulun, Joseph, Benjamin.  It says the same basic thing as the original passage, but condenses it to conserve space without listing each tribe and there were 12,000 were sealed in a separate verse.

After prayerful contemplation of ways to share this information, I will have Topics and possibly subtopics where I will put the Revelation verses that relate to that topic. There may be times when some of the verses may be used more than once, because they also relate to another topic. I will put the passages from Revelation [Rev] in an orange font.  The bulk of my analysis, but not all, will be in purple. I do use a black font at times when I think the highlighting might make it difficult for viewers to read. The Revelation of Jesus Christ is included in its entirety in the table below the Analysis, although somewhat condensed to conserve space, as noted above.

Analysis

Background Information

• Rev 1:1-3 This is the Revelation of Jesus Christ which God gave Him to show His servants things that must shortly take place. He sent & signified by His angel to His servant John, who bore witness of the word of God, & to the testimony of Jesus Christ, to all things that he [John] saw. Blessed is he who reads & those who hear the words of this prophecy, & keep those things which are written in it; for the time is near. 
• Rev 1:9 John, brother & companion in tribulation & kingdom & patience of Jesus Christ & was on the island of Patmos for the word of God & for the testimony of Jesus Christ.

[Background Information Analysis: There are no inconsistencies about the Apostle John being specifically chosen by Jesus Christ to share this prophecy with others.]

Important Information

• Rev 22:11-17 He said to John, “Do not seal the words of this prophecy of this book for the time is at hand. He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him be righteous still; he who is holy, let him be holy still.” “And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with me to give to every one according to his work. I am the Alpha & the Omega, the Beginning & the End, the First & the Last.” Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life & may enter through the gates into the city. But outside are dogs, sorcerers, sexually immoral, murderers, idolaters & whoever loves & practices a lie. “I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the Root & the Offspring of David, the Bright & Morning Star.” The Spirit & the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely. 
• Rev 2:5 “Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent & do the first works or else I will come to you quickly & remove your lampstand from its place.”
• Rev 3:15-18  I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you re luke-warm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. Because you say, I am rich, have become wealthy & have need of nothing & do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind & naked- I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich: & white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; & anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see.
• Rev 21:8 But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters & all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire & brimstone, which is the 2nd death.”
• Rev 22:7 “Behold, I am coming quickly! Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.”
• Rev 21:6 He said to John, “It is done! I am the Alpha & the Omega, the Beginning & the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts.

[Important Information Analysis: These Bible passages are consistent in letting us know what things God likes and what things He doesn’t and the consequences of both.]

The Birth of Jesus to the Virgin Mary

• Rev 12:1-6 A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet & on her head was a garland of 12 stars. Then being with child, she cried out in labor & pain to give birth. Another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great, fiery red dragon having 7 heads & 10 horns & 7 diadems [crowns] on his heads. His tail drew  ⅓ of the stars of heaven & threw them to the earth. The dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth, to devour her Child as soon as it was born. She bore a male Child [Jesus] who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron, Her Child was caught up to God & His throne.

[The Birth of Jesus Analysis: Although the symbolism in this passage is difficult to interpret, it was easy to analyze that the Child that was to be born to the woman clothed with the sun, is Jesus, because it goes on to say the Child was to rule all nations with a rod of iron. Her Child was caught up to God & His throne. It also seems evident that the dragon [Satan/Devil] wanted to harm or undermine Jesus Christ’s ability to join God on His throne, because it says the dragon wanted to devour her Child.]

Jesus Being Crucified

• Rev 1:4-6 John is to share this information with the 7 churches in Asia from Him who is & was & is to come & from the 7 spirits who are before His throne & Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead & ruler over the kings of the earth. To Him who loved us & washed us from our sins in His own blood & has made us kings & priests to His God & Father, to Him be glory & dominion forever & ever. Amen. 

• Rev 1:7-8 He [Christ] is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him. all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. Amen. “I am the Alpha & the Omega, the Beginning & the End,” says the Lord, “who is & who was & who is to come, the Almighty.” 
• Rev 1:17-18 When he saw Jesus, John fell at His feet as if dead, but Jesus laid His right hand on him saying, “Do not be afraid; I am the First & the Last, I am He who lives & was dead, & behold I am alive forevermore. Amen. 
• Rev 2:8-11 John should write to: “the angel of the church in Smyrna: From the First & the Last, who was dead, & came to life 
• Rev 5:9  And they sang a new song saying:”You are worthy to take the scroll, & to open its seals: For You were slain, & have redeemed us to God by Your blood Out of every tribe & tongue & people & nation,
•  Rev 5:11-12 Then John heard the voice of many angels, living creatures & elders around the throne & the number of them was 10,000 x 10,000 + 1,000’s +1,000’s saying with a loud voice: “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain To receive power & riches & wisdom & strength & honor & glory & blessing!”
• Rev 12:10-17 John heard a loud voice in heaven saying, “ Now salvation & strength & the kingdom of our God & the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down.  And they overcame him [Satan] by the blood of the Lamb & by the word of their testimony & they did not love their lives until death. 

[Jesus’ Being Crucified Analysis: All of these passages corroborate that Jesus was crucified, died, and arose to overcome Satan, for our salvation and that Jesus Christ reigns with God the Father in heaven.]

Salvation through Jesus

• Rev 3:19-22 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous & repent. Behold I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice & opens the door, I will come in to him & dine with him & he with Me. To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I, also overcame & sat down      with My Father on His throne. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”
• Rev 5:9  And they sang a new song saying:”You are worthy to take the scroll, & to open its seals: For You were slain, & have redeemed us to God by Your blood Out of every tribe & tongue & people & nation,
• Rev 21:7  He who overcomes shall inherit all things & I will be his God & he shall be My son.
•  Rev 5:11-12 Then John heard the voice of many angels, living creatures & elders around the throne & the number of them was 10,000 x 10,000 + 1,000’s +1,000’s saying with a loud voice: “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain To receive power & riches & wisdom & strength & honor & glory & blessing!”
• Rev 7:9-12 After these, John saw a great multitude which no one could number of all nations, tribes, peoples & tongues, standing before the throne & before the Lamb clothed with white robes & palm branches in their hands. They were crying with a loud voice saying, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne & to the Lamb!” All the angels stood around the throne & the elders & 4 Living Creatures & fell on their faces before the throne & worshiped God saying, “Amen! Blessing & glory & wisdom, Thanksgiving & honor & power & might, Be to our God forever & ever. Amen”
• Rev 2:16-17  Repent, or else I will come to you quickly & will fight against them with the sword of My mouth. The Spirit says to the churches: to him who overcomes, I will give some of the hidden manna to eat & I will give them a white stone, & on the stone a new name written which no one knows except him who receives it.” 
• Rev 2:25-29 But hold fast what you have till I come. “And He who overcomes & sees My works until the end, to him I will give power over the nations-’He shall rule them with a rod of iron; They shall be dashed to pieces like the potter’s vessels, as I also have received from My Father; & I will give him the morning star. “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”
• Rev 3:7-8 John writes to the church of Philadelphia for the Holy Spirit, “These things says He who is holy, He who is true. He who has the key of David, He who opens & no one shuts, & shuts & no one opens.” I [Jesus] know your works, I set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word & have not denied My name.”
• Rev 3:10-13 “Because you have kept My command to persevere. I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.Behold, I am coming quickly! Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown. He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God & he shall go out no more. I will write on him the name of My God & the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which will come down out of heaven from My God. I will write on him My new name. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”
• Rev 3:19-22 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous & repent. Behold I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice & opens the door, I will come in to him & dine with him & he with Me. To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I, also overcame & sat down with My Father on His throne. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”
• Rev 7:13-14 One of the elders answered John saying, “Who are these arrayed in white robes & where did they come from?” John told him that he didn’t know. So he [the angel] told John, “They are the ones who come out of the great tribulation & washed their robes & made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 
• Rev 1:17-18 When he saw Jesus, John fell at His feet as if dead, but Jesus laid His right hand on him saying, “Do not be afraid; I am the First & the Last, I am He who lives & was dead, & behold I am alive forevermore. Amen.
• Rev 12:10-17 John heard a loud voice in heaven saying, “ Now salvation & strength & the kingdom of our God & the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down.  And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb & by the word of their testimony & they did not love their lives until death. 

[Salvation through Jesus Analysis: These passages are consistent that Jesus calls us to join Him in heaven some day, which is possible through our belief in Him as our Savior, because He gave His life for us and conquered death and Satan as a substitute for us. ]

God the Creator of Everything/First & Last/Alpha & the Omega, Beginning & End

• Rev 3:14 “And to the angel of the church of Laodiceans  write, These things says the Amen, the Faithful & True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God:
• Rev 14:6-7 John saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth-to every nation, tribe, tongue & people-saying with a loud voice, “Fear God & give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come. Worship Him who made heaven & earth, the sea & springs of water.”
• Rev 4:8-11 The 4 living creatures each have 6 wings & were full of eyes around & within. They do not rest day or night saying,”Holy, holy, holy, Lord God almighty, Who was & is & is to come! Whenever the living creatures give glory & honor & thanks to Him [God] who sits on the throne & lives forever, the 24 elders fall down before Him & worship Him & cast their crowns before the throne saying, “You are worthy, O Lord, To receive glory & honor & power; For You created all things, & by Your will they exist & were created.”
• Rev 21:6 He said to John, “It is done! I am the Alpha & the Omega, the Beginning & the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts.
• Rev 22:11-17 He said to John, “Do not seal the words of this prophecy of this book for the time is at hand. He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him be righteous still; he who is holy, let him be holy still.” “And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with me to give to every one according to his work. I am the Alpha & the Omega, the Beginning & the End, the First & the Last.” Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life & may enter through the gates into the city. But outside are dogs, sorcerers, sexually immoral, murderers, idolaters & whoever loves & practices a lie. “I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the Root & the Offspring of David, the Bright & Morning Star.” The Spirit & the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely. 
• Rev 10:5-6 The angel John saw standing on the sea & on the land raise up his hand to heaven & swore by Him who lives forever & ever, who created heaven & the things that are in it & earth & the things that are in it & the sea & the things that are in it, that there should be delay no longer,
• Rev 1:17-18  When he saw Jesus, John fell at His feet as if dead, but Jesus laid His right hand on him saying, “Do not be afraid; I am the First & the Last, I am He who lives & was dead, & behold I am alive forevermore. Amen. 
• Rev 2:8John should write to: “the angel of the church in Smyrna: From the First & the Last, who was dead, & came to life 
• Rev 11:15-17 The 7th angel sounded: Loud voices in heaven saying, “The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord & His Christ & He shall reign forever & ever!” 24 elders who sat before God on their thrones fell on their faces & worshipped God saying, “We give You thanks, O Lord God Almighty, The One who is  & who was & who is to come, Because You have taken Your great power & reigned. 
• Rev 1:10-11 John was in the Spirit on the Lord’s Day when he heard a loud voice behind him like a trumpet saying, “I am the Alpha & the Omega, the First & the Last. What You see, write in a book & send it to the 7 churches in Asia: Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamos, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, & Laodicea.”

[God the Creator of Everything, First & Last, Alpha & Omega, Beginning & End Analysis: Included are a wealth of Bible passages that are extremely consistent stating God (the Father, Son and Holy Spirit) created everything, is the First & the Last, the Alpha & Omega, and the Beginning & the End.]

About Heaven

• Rev 21:1-8 John saw a new heaven & a new earth, for the 1st heaven & the 1st earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. He heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men & He will dwell with them & they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them & be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.” Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” He said to John, “Write, for these words are true and faithful.” He said to John, “It is done! I am the Alpha & the Omega, the Beginning & the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. He who overcomes shall inherit all things & I will be his God & he shall be My son.
• Rev 4:1-6 John saw a door standing open in heaven. The first voice he heard was like a trumpet speaking with him, saying, “Come up here & I will show you things which must take place after this. He was immediately in the Spirit & behold a throne set in heaven, & One sat on the throne. He who sat on there was like jasper & sardius stone in appearance there was a rainbow around the throne, In appearance like an emerald. Around the throne were 24 thrones &  John saw 24 elders sitting, clothed in white robes & they had crowns of gold on their heads. From the throne proceeded lightnings, thunderings & voices. 7 lamps of fire were burning before the throne which are the 7 Spirits of God. Before the throne there was a sea of glass & in the midst of the throne & around about the throne, were 4 living creatures full of eyes in front & in back.
• Rev 3:4-6 I have a few names even in Sardis who have not defiled their garments; & they shall walk with Me in white, because they are worthy. He who overcomes will be clothed in white garments & I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life, but will confess his name before My Father & before His angels. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
• Rev 21: 9-27 One of the angels who had the 7 bowls filled with the 7 last plagues came to John & talked with him saying, “Come, I will show you the bride, the Lamb’s wife.” He carried John away in the Spirit to a great & high mountain & showed him the great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, having the glory of God. Her light was like a most precious stone, like a jasper stone clear as crystal. She had a great & high wall with 12 gates & 12 angels at the gates & names written on them which are the name of the 12 tribes of the children of Israel: 3 gates on the east, 3 gates on the north, 3 gates on the south & 3 gates on the west. The wall of the city had 12 foundations & on them were the names of the 12 apostles of the Lamb. He who talked with John had a gold reed to measure the city, its gates & its wall. The city is laid out as a square, its length is as great as its breadth. John measured the city with the reed: 12,000 furlongs. It’s length, breadth & height are equal. He measured its wall: 144 cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of an angel. The construction of its wall as jasper & the city was pure gold like clear glass. The foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with all kinds of precious stones: the 1st foundation was jasper, the 2nd sapphire, the 3rd chalcedony, the 4th emerald, the 5th sardonyx, the 6th sardius, the 7th chrysolite, the 8th beryl, the 9th topaz, the 10th chrysoprase, the 11th jacinth, and the 12th amethyst. The 12 gates were 12 pearls: each individual gate was of one pearl. The street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass. He saw no temple in it for the Lord God Almighty & the Lamb are its temple. The city had no need of the sun or the moon to shine in it for the glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is its light. The nations of those who are saved shall walk in its light & the kings of the earth bring their glory & honor into it. Its gates shall not be shut at all by day (there shall be no night there). They shall bring the glory & the honor of the nations into it. There shall by no means enter it anything that defiles or causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life
• Rev 22:1-7 He  [angel] showed John a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God & of the Lamb. In the middle of its street & on either side of the river was the tree of life, which bore 12 fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. There shall be no more curse, but the throne of God & the Lamb shall be in it & His servants shall serve Him. They shall see His face & His name shall be on their foreheads. There shall be no night there: They need no lamp nor light of the sun for the Lord God gives them light. And they shall reign forever & ever. Then he said to John, “These words are faithful & true.” The Lord God of the holy prophets sent His angel to show His servants the things which must shortly take place. “Behold, I am coming quickly! Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.”
• Rev 3:10-13 Because you have kept My command to persevere. I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.Behold, I am coming quickly! Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown. He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God & he shall go out no more. I will write on him the name of My God & the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which will come down out of heaven from My God. I will write on him My new name. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”
• Rev 7:15-17 Therefore they are before the throne of God & serve Him day & night in His temple. He who sits on the throne will dwell among them . They shall neither hunger nor thirst anymore. The sun shall not strike them nor any heat for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd them & lead them to living fountains of waters. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.” 
• Rev 11:19 Then the temple of God was opened in heaven & the ark of His covenant was seen in His temple. There were lightnings, noises, thunderings, an earthquake & great hail.

[About Heaven Analysis: Although these Bible passages contain details of many different aspects of heaven and what it will be like, I especially feel this passage sums it all up: Rev 21:1-8 John saw a new heaven & a new earth, for the 1st heaven & the 1st earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. He heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men & He will dwell with them & they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them & be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.” Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” He said to John, “Write, for these words are true and faithful.” He said to John, “It is done! I am the Alpha & the Omega, the Beginning & the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. He who overcomes shall inherit all things & I will be his God & he shall be My son.]

Description of Heavenly Beings

Living Creatures

• Rev 4:6 Before the throne there was a sea of glass & in the midst of the throne & around about the throne, were 4 living creatures full of eyes in front & in back.
• Rev 4:7-11 The 1st living creature was like a lion, the 2nd living creature like a calf,      the 3rd living creature had a face like a man & the 4th living creature was like a flying eagle.
•  Rev 5:11-12 Then John heard the voice of many angels, living creatures & elders around the throne & the number of them was 10,000 x 10,000 + 1,000’s +1,000’s saying with a loud voice: “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain To receive power & riches & wisdom & strength & honor & glory & blessing!”

[Living Creature Analysis: Although I didn’t share these descriptions of the Living Creatures for analysis, I thought it noteworthy to read of those who assist Jesus Christ in heaven.]

Angels/Seraphim

• Rev 10:1-11 John saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven, clothed with a cloud. And a rainbow was on his head, his face was like the sun & his feet like pillars of fire. He had a little book open in his hand. He set his right foot on the sea & his left foot on the land & cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roars. When he cried out, 7 thunders uttered their voices.
•  Rev 5:2 Then he saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll & to loose its seals?”

• Rev 7:1  After these things, John saw 4 angels standing at the 4 corners of the earth holding the 4 winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, sea or any tree.
• Rev 22:8-9 Now I, John, saw & heard these things & fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who showed him these things. He said to me, “See that you do not do that for I am your fellow servants & of your brethren the prophets & of those who keep the words of this book. Worship God.” 
• Rev 8:1-4 When He opened the 7th seal, there was silence in heaven for about ½ hour. John saw the 7 angels who stand before God were given 7 trumpets. Another angel having a golden censer came & stood at the altar. He was given much incense that he should offer it with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. The smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, ascended before God from the angel’s hand. 
• Rev 9:11 They had a king over them, the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, but in Greek he has the name Apollyon. 
• Rev 18:1After these things John saw another angel coming from heaven having great authority & the earth was illuminated with his glory. 
• Rev 19:9-10 Then he [angel] said to me, “Write: ‘Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb!’” And he said to John, “These are the true sayings of God.” John fell at his feet to worship him, but he said to John, “See that you do not do that! I am your fellow servant & your brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.” 
• Rev 15:6 John saw that the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened. Out of the temple came the 7 angels with the 7 plagues clothed in pure bright linen with their chest girded with golden bands.
• Rev 17:7-8 One of the 4 Living Creatures gave to the 7 angels 7 golden bowls of the wrath of God who lives forever & ever.The temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God & from His power & no one was able to enter the temple till the 7 plagues of the 7 angels were completed. 
• Rev 16:1 John heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the 7 angels, “Go & pour out the bowls of the wrath of God on the earth.”
• Rev 16:2 The 1st [angel] went & poured out his bowl upon the earth & a foul & loathsome sore came upon the men who had the mark of the beast & those who worshiped his image.

[Angel/Seraphim Analysis: Although I didn’t share these descriptions of the Angels/Seraphim for analysis, I thought it noteworthy to read of those who assist Jesus Christ in heaven ]

Description of God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit

• Rev 1:10-11 John was in the Spirit on the Lord’s Day when he heard a loud voice behind him like a trumpet saying, “I am the Alpha & the Omega, the First & the Last. What You see, write in a book & send it to the 7 churches in Asia: Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamos, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, & Laodicea.”
• Rev 1:12-16 John turned to see the voice that spoke with him & saw 7 golden lampstands. In the midst of the 7 lampstands, One like the Son of Man, clothed with a garment down to the feet & girded about the chest with a golden band. His head & hair were white as snow & His eyes like a flame of fire. His feet were like fine brass, as if refined in a furnace & His voice as the sound of many waters. Jesus had in His right hand 7 stars & out of His mouth went a two-edged sword. His countenance was like the sun shining in its strength. 
• Rev 5:13-14 And every creature which is in heaven, on earth & under it & such as are in the sea & all that are in them, he heard saying, “Blessing & honor & glory & power Be to Him who sits on the throne, & to the Lamb, forever & ever!” Then the 4 living creatures said, “Amen!” The 24 elders fell down & worshipped Him who lives forever & ever.
• Rev 2:18 John writes to the church of Thyatira: “These things says the Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire & His feet like fine brass;
• Rev 19:11 John saw the heaven opened & behold a white horse & He who sat on him was called Faithful & True & in righteousness He judges & makes war. His eyes were like a flame of fire & on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself. He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood & His name is called The Word of God. 
• Rev 19:14-16 The armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white & clean followed Him on white horses. Out of His mouth goes a sharp sword that with it He should strike the nations. He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness & wrath of Almighty God. He has on His robe & on His thigh a name written: King Of Kings And Lord Of Lords. 

[The Description of God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit Analysis: Again, these descriptions of God who lives forever and ever (the Father, Son and Holy Spirit) are noteworthy, but are not for analysis.  ]

Babylon

• Rev 14:8 Another angel followed saying, “Babylon, that great city is fallen, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.” 
• Rev 16:19 The great city was divided into 3 parts & the cities of the nations fell. And great Babylon was remembered before God to give her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath.
• Rev 18:1-3 After these things John saw another angel coming from heaven having      great authority & the earth was illuminated with his glory. He cried mightily saying loudly, “Babylon the great is fallen & has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul spirit & cage for every unclean & hated bird! All the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her & the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury.” 
• Rev 18:4-16 John heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins & lest you receive of her plagues. For her sins have reached to heaven & God has remembered her iniquities. Render to her as she did to you, but repay her double, because she glorified herself & lived luxuriously, in the same measure give her torment & sorrow for she says, ‘I sit as a queen & will not see sorrow.’ Therefore her plagues will come in 1 day-death & mourning & famine. She [the City of Babylon] will be utterly burned with fire for strong is the Lord God who judges her. The kings of the earth who committed fornication & lived luxuriously with her will weep & lament for her when they see the smoke of her burning, saying, “Alas that great city Babylon that mighty city! For in 1 hour your judgement has come.’ The merchants will weep & mourn over her for no one buys their merchandise of gold, silver, precious stones, pearls,etc.
• Rev 18:21-22 A mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone & threw it into the sea saying, “Thus with violence the great city Babylon shall be thrown down & shall not be found anymore, the sound of harpists, musicians, flutists & trumpeters shall not be heard in you anymore, No craftsman of any craft shall be found in you anymore & the sound of a millstone shall not be heard in you anymore. Etc.
• Rev 18:24 In her was found the blood of prophets & saints & all who were slain on the earth.”
• Rev 19:1-3 After these things John heard a loud voice in heaven saying, “Alleluia! Salvation & glory & honor & power belong to the Lord our God! For true & righteous are His judgments, because He has judged the great harlot who corrupted the earth with her fornication & He has avenged on her the blood of His servants shed by her.” Again they said, “Alleluia. Her smoke rises up forever & ever!”

[Babylon Analysis: Although Revelation is very consistent, I’m not going to analyze them further. I received some unrequested literature in the mail that stated that Babylon, that is to be destroyed, is the Vatican.  I can’t tell you for sure, but I really think that what was in the Bible is an analogy speaking of Babylon in relation to all corrupt cities, merchants, etc. that lead others away from their focus in Christ, our Lord and His commandments. I went to] Your Dictionary.com at https://examples.yourdictionary.com/analogy-ex.html

I got the following information that explains what an analogy is. 

Analogy Examples

“At its most basic, an analogy is a comparison of two things to show their similarities. Sometimes the things being compared are quite similar, but other times they could be very different. Nevertheless, an analogy explains one thing in terms of another to highlight the ways in which they are alike.”

[Again, although I can’t tell you for sure, I think the information in this book of the Bible about Babylon is an example of all corrupt cities, merchants, etc. who lead people astray. Does it matter that I don’t have a definitive answer for this or for the other information related to the literature I received in the mail? No, it doesn’t. I will explain further in the End of the World Prediction Analysis.] 

What the Bible Says Some of the Signs Mean

• Rev 1:19-20 Write the things which you have seen & the things which will take place after this. The mystery of the 7 stars which you saw in My right hand are the angels of the 7 churches, & the 7 golden lampstands are the 7 churches.”
• Rev 5:6 John saw in the midst of the throne & of the 4 living creatures & the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as though it had been slain, having 7 horns & 7 eyes, which are the 7 Spirits of God sent out into all the earth.
• Rev 18:9-18 [The angel tells John] “Here is the mind which has wisdom: the 7 heads are 7 mountains on which the woman sits. There are also 7 kings. 5 have fallen, 1 is & the other has not yet come. When he comes, he must continue a short time. The beast that was & is not is himself also the 8th & is of the 7 & is going to perdition. The 10 horns are 10 kings who have received no kingdom yet, but they  receive authority for 1 hour as kings with the beast. These are of 1 mind & they will give their power & authority to the beast. These will make war with the Lamb and the Lamb will overcome them for He is Lord of lords & King of kings & those who are with Him are called, chosen & faithful. The angel told John,  “The waters which you saw where the harlot sits are peoples, multitudes, nations & tongues. The 10 horns you saw on the beast, these will hate the harlot & make her desolate & naked, eat her flesh & burn her with fire.  For God has put it into their hearts to fulfill His purpose to be of 1 mind & to give their kingdom to the beast until the words of God are fulfilled. The woman whom you saw is that great city which reigns over the kings of the earth.”
• Rev 16:12-16 The 6th angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates & its water was dried up, so that the way of the kings from the east might be prepared. John saw 3 unclean spirits like frogs coming out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast & out of the mouth of the false prophet. They are [the] spirits of demons, performing signs which go out to the kings of the earth & of the whole world to gather them to the battle of the great day of God Almighty. “Behold, I am coming as a thief. Blessed is he who watches & keeps his garments, lest he walk naked & they see his shame.” They gathered them together to the place called in Hebrew, Armageddon.
• Rev 18:9-18 [The angel tells John] “Here is the mind which has wisdom: the 7 heads are 7 mountains on which the woman sits. There are also 7 kings. 5 have fallen, 1 is & the other has not yet come. When he comes, he must continue a short time. The beast that was & is not is himself also the 8th & is of the 7 & is going to perdition. The 10 horns are 10 kings who have received no kingdom yet, but they  receive authority for 1 hour as kings with the beast. These are of 1 mind & they will give their power & authority to the beast. These will make war with the Lamb and the Lamb will overcome them for He is Lord of lords & King of kings & those who are with Him are called, chosen & faithful. The angel told John,  “The waters which you saw where the harlot sits are peoples, multitudes, nations & tongues. The 10 horns you saw on the beast, these will hate the harlot & make her desolate & naked, eat her flesh & burn her with fire.  For God has put it into their hearts to fulfill His purpose to be of 1 mind & to give their kingdom to the beast until the words of God are fulfilled. The woman whom you saw is that great city [Babylon] which reigns over the kings of the earth.” 

[My analysis explanation for both this and the End of World Predictions will follow after sharing the End of World Predictions.]

End of World Predictions

• Rev 6:2 [1st Seal] He looked and behold, a white horse & He who sat on it had a bow & a crown was given to him. He went out conquering & to conquer. 
• Rev 6:4 [2nd Seal] A fiery red horse went out & it was granted to the one who sat on it to take peace from the earth & that people should kill one another & there was given him a great sword.

• Rev 6:8 [4th Seal] He saw a pale horse & the name of him who sat on it was Death and Hades followed with him. Power was given to them over ¼ of the earth to kill with a sword, with hunger, with death & with the beasts of the earth.
• Rev 6:9-11 [5th Seal] When He opened the 5th seal, John saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God & for the testimony which they held. They cried with a loud voice saying, “How long, O Lord, holy & true until You judge & avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?” Then a white robe was given to each of them & it was said to them that they should rest a little while longer, until both the number of their fellow servants & their brethren, who would be killed as they were, was completed. 
• Rev 6:12-17 [6th Seal] John looked when He opened the 6th seal & behold there was a great earthquake; & the sun became black as sackcloth of hair & the moon became like blood, the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind. The sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up & every mountain & island was moved out of its place. The kings of the earth, great men, rich men, commanders, mighty men, every slave & every free man hid themselves in the caves & the rocks of the mountains & said to the mountains & rocks, “Fall on us & hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne & from the wrath of the Lamb! For the great day of His wrath has come & who is able to stand?”
• Rev 7:2-8 John saw another angel ascending from the east having the seal of the living God & he cried with a loud voice to the 4 angels to whom it was granted to harm the earth & sea saying, “Do not harm the earth, sea, or trees till we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.” John heard the number of those sealed:144,00 of all the tribes of the children of Israel were sealed. 12,000 each of the following tribes were sealed: Tribes of Judah, Reuben, Gad, Asher, Naphtali, Manasseh, Simeon, Levi, Issachar, Zebulun, Joseph, Benjamin. 
• Rev 7:9-12 After these, John saw a great multitude which no one could number of all nations, tribes, peoples & tongues, standing before the throne & before the Lamb clothed with white robes & palm branches in their hands. They were crying with a loud voice saying, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne & to the Lamb!” All the angels stood around the throne & the elders & 4 Living Creatures & fell on their faces before the throne & worshiped God saying, “Amen! Blessing & glory & wisdom, Thanksgiving & honor & power & might, Be to our God forever & ever. Amen”
• Rev 7:13-14 One of the elders answered John saying, “Who are these arrayed in white robes & where did they come from?” John told him that he knew. So he told John, “They are the ones who come out of the great tribulation & washed their robes & made them white in the blood of the Lamb.”
• Rev 8:5-6 [7th Seal] Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar & threw it to the earth. There were noises, thunderings, lightnings & an earthquake.So the 7 angels sounded who had the 7 trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
• Rev 8:7 1st angel sounded & Hail & fire followed, mingled with blood & they were thrown to the earth. ⅓ of the trees  were burned up & all green grass was burned up. 
• Rev 8:8-9 2nd angel sounded: & something like a great mountain, burning with fire was thrown into the sea & ⅓ of the sea became blood & ⅓ of the living creatures in the sea died & ⅓ of ships were destroyed.
• Rev 8:10-11 3rd angel sounded: a great star fell from heaven burning like a torch & fell on ⅓  of rivers & springs of water. The name of the star is Wormwood & ⅓ of the water became wormwood & many men died from the water, because it was made bitter.
• Rev 8:12-13 4th angel sounded: ⅓ of the sun was struck, ⅓ of the moon & ⅓ of the stars were darkened. ⅓  of the day did not shine & likewise the night. John looked and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven saying with a loud voice, “Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth, because of the remaining blasts of the trumpet of the 3 angels who are about to sound!”
• Rev 9:1-4 5th angel sounded: & John saw a star fallen from heaven to the earth. To him was given the key to the bottomless pit. He opened the bottomless pit & smoke arose out of the pit like the smoke of a great furnace. So the sun & the air were darkened because of the smoke of the pit. Then out of the smoke locusts came upon the earth & to them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. They were commanded not to harm the grass of the earth or any green thing, or any tree, but only those men who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads. 
• Rev 9:10-12 They had tails like scorpions & there were stings in their tails.Their power was to hurt men 5 months. They had a king over them, the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, but in Greek he has the name Apollyon. One woe is past. Behold, still 2 more woes are coming after these things.
• Rev 9:13-21 6th angel sounded: & John heard a voice from the 4 horns of the golden altar which is before God, saying to the 6th angel who had the trumpet, “Release the 4 angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.” So the 4 angels who had been prepared for the hour & day & month & year were released to kill ⅓ of mankind.John heard the number of the army of the horsemen: was 200 million. He saw the horses in the vision: those who sat on them had breastplates of fiery red, hyacinth blue & sulphur yellow & the heads of the  horses were like the heads of Lions & out of their mouths came fire, smoke & brimstone. By these 3 plagues ⅓ of mankind was killed-by fire & smoke & brimstone which came out of their mouths. For their power is in their mouth & tails; for their tails are like serpents, having heads & with them they do harm. The rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons & idols of gold, silver, brass, stone & wood which can neither see, nor hear, nor walk. And they did not repent of their murders or their sorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts. 
• Rev 10:1-11 John saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven, clothed with a cloud. And a rainbow was on his head, his face was like the sun & his feet like pillars of fire. He had a little book open in his hand. He set his right foot on the sea & his left foot on the land & cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roars. When he cried out, 7 thunders uttered their voices. When the 7 thunders uttered their voices, John was about to write; but heard a voice saying to him, “Seal up the things which the 7 thunders uttered & do not write them.” The angel John saw standing on the sea & on the land raise up his hand to heaven & swore by Him who lives forever & ever, who created heaven & the things that are in it & earth & the things that are in it & the sea & the things that are in it, that there should be delay no longer, but in the days of the sounding of the 7th angel, when he is about      to sound, the mystery of God would be finished, as He declared to His servants the prophets. Then the voice that he heard from heaven spoke to him again & said, “Go, take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel who stands on the sea & on the earth.” So John went to the angel & said to him, “Give me the little book.” And he said to John, “Take & eat it & it will make your stomach bitter, but it will be as sweet as honey in your mouth.” Then John took the little book out of the angel’s hand & ate it & it was as sweet as honey in his mouth, but when he had eaten it, his stomach became bitter. He said to John, “You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, tongues & kings." But leave out the court which is outside the temple, & do not measure it, for it has been given to the Gentiles. And they will tread the holy city underfoot for 42 months.
• Rev 11:3-6 I will give power to my 2 Witnesses & they will prophesy 1,260 days clothed in sackcloth.” These are 2 olive trees & the 2 lampstands standing before the God of the earth. If anyone wants to harm them, fire proceeds from their mouth & devours their enemies, If anyone wants to harm them, he must be killed in this manner. These have power to shut heaven, so no rain falls in the days of their prophecy & they have power over waters to turn them to blood & to strike the      earth with all plagues as often as they desire.
•  Rev 11:7-12 When they finish their testimony, the beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit will make war against them, overcome them & kill them. Their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city which spiritually is called Sodom & Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. Then those from the people, tribes, tongues & nations will see their dead bodies 3 ½ days & not allow their dead bodies to be put into graves. Those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them, make merry & send gifts to one another, because these 2 prophets tormented those who dwell on earth.  After 3 ½ days the breath of life from God entered them & they stood on their feet & great fear fell on those who saw them. And they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here.” And they ascended to heaven in a cloud & their enemies saw them.
• Rev 11:13-14 In the same hour, there was a great earthquake & 1/10 of the city fell. In the earthquake 7,000 people were killed & the rest were afraid & gave glory to the God of heaven. The Second Woe is past. Behold the third is coming quickly.
• Rev 11:15-19 The 7th angel sounded: Loud voices in heaven saying, “The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord & His Christ & He shall reign forever & ever!” 24 elders who sat before God on their thrones fell on their faces & worshipped God saying, “We give You thanks, O Lord God Almighty, The One who is  & who was & who is to come, Because You have taken Your great power & reigned. The nations were angry & Your wrath has come & the time of the dead, that they should be judged, & that You should reward Your servants the prophets & the saints, & those who fear Your name, small & great, & should destroy those who destroy the earth.” Then the temple of God was opened in heaven & the ark of His covenant was seen in His temple. There were lightnings, noises, thunderings, an earthquake & great hail.
• Rev 12:1-6 A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet & on her head was a garland of 12 stars. Then being with child, she cried out in labor & pain to give birth. Another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great, fiery red dragon having 7 heads & 10 horns & 7 diadems [crowns] on his heads. His tail drew  ⅓ of the stars of heaven & threw them to the earth. The dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth, to devour her Child as soon as it was born. She bore a male Child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron, Her Child was caught up to God & His throne. The woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God that they should feed her there 1,260 days.
• Rev 12:7-9 And war broke out in heaven. Micahel & his angels fought with the dragon & the dragon & his angels fought, but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer. The great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old called the Devil & Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth & his angels were cast out with him.
• Rev 12:12-17 Rejoice, O heavens & you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth & the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time.” When the dragon saw that he had been cast to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male Child [Jesus].  The woman was given 2 wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place where she is nourished for a time & times & half a time, from the presence of the serpent. The serpent spewed water out of his mouth like a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood. But the earth helped the woman & the earth opened its mouth & swallowed up the flood which the dragon had spewed out of his mouth. The dragon was enraged with the woman & he went to make war with the rest of her offspring [Christians], who keep the commandments of God & have the testimony of Jesus Christ. 
• Rev 13:1-10 John stood on the sand of the sea & saw a beast rising up out of the sea having 7 heads & 10 horns each with a crown & on his heads was a blasphemous name. The beast he saw was like a leopard, his feet were like the feet of a bear, & his mouth like the lion. The dragon gave him power, his throne & great authority. He saw 1 of the heads had been mortally wounded & his deadly wound was healed. All the world marveled & followed the beast. They worshipped the dragon who gave authority to the beast & worshiped the beast saying, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?” He was given a mouth speaking great things, blasphemies & was given authority to continue for 42 months. Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God to blaspheme His name, His tabernacle, & those who dwell in heaven. It was granted him to make war with the saints & to overcome them. Authority was given him over every tribe, tongue & nation.  All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. If anyone has an ear, let him hear. He who leads into captivity shall go into captivity; he who kills with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience & the faith of the saints.
• Rev 13:11-18 John saw another beast coming up out of the earth & he had 2 horns like a lamb & spoke like a dragon. He exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence & causes the earth & those who dwell in it to worship the 1st beast whose deadly wound was healed. He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. He deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword & lived. He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast should both speak & cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. He causes all, both small & great, rich & poor, free & slave to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, & that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast or the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: HIs number is 666. 
• Rev 14:1 John saw a Lamb standing on Mount Zion & with Him 144,000 having HIs Father’s name written on their foreheads.
• Rev 14:6-7 John saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth-to every nation, tribe, tongue & people-saying with a loud voice, “Fear God & give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come. Worship Him who made heaven & earth, the sea & springs of water.” 
• Rev 14:9-11 Then, a 3rd angel followed saying, “If anyone worships the beast & his image & receives his mark on his forehead or his hand, he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire & brimstone in the presence of the holy angels in the presence of the Lamb. The smoke of their torment ascends forever & ever & they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast & his image & whoever receives the mark of his name.” 
• John heard a voice from heaven saying to him, “Write: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on that they may rest from their labors & works follow them,” says the Spirit. He saw a white cloud with One like the Son of Man sitting on it, having a golden crown on his head & a sharp sickle in His hand. Another angel came out of the temple crying with a loud voice to Him who sat on the cloud, “Thrust in Your sickle & reap for the time has come for You to reap, for the harvest of the earth is ripe.” So He who sat on the cloud thrust in His sickle on the      earth & the earth was reaped.”
• Rev 14:19-20 So the angel thrust his sickle into the earth & gathered the vine of the earth & threw it into the great winepress of the wrath of God. The winepress was trampled outside the city & blood came out of the winepress of the wrath of God up to the horses’ bridles for 1,600 furlongs
• Rev 15:1-2 John saw another sign in heaven, great & marvelous, 7 angels having the 7 last plagues, for in them the wrath of God is complete. He saw something like a sea of glass mingled with fire & those who have the victory over the beast & his image & his mark & over the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass, having harps of God.
• Rev 16:2 The 1st [angel] went & poured out his bowl upon the earth & a foul & loathsome sore came upon the men who had the mark of the beast & those who worshiped his image.
• Rev 16:3 The 2nd angel poured out his bowl on the sea & it became blood as of a dead man & every living creature in the sea died.
• Rev 16:4-7 The 3rd angel poured out his bowl on the rivers & springs of water & they became blood. He heard the angel of the waters saying, “You are righteous, O Lord, The One who is & who was & who is to be, Because You have judged these things. For they have shed the blood of saints & prophets, And You have given them blood to drink. For it is their just due.” He heard another from the altar saying, “Even so, Lord God Almighty, true & righteous are Your judgments.” 
• Rev 16:8-9 The 4th angel poured out his bowl on the sun & power was given to him to scorch men with fire. Men were scorched with great heat & they blasphemed the name of God who has power over these plagues & they did not repent & give Him glory. 
• Rev 16:10-11The 5th angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast & his kingdom became full of darkness; & they gnawed their tongues because of the pain. They blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains & their sores & did not repent of their deeds.
• Rev 16:12-16 The 6th angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates & its water was dried up, so that the way of the kings from the east might be prepared. John saw 3 unclean spirits like frogs coming out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast & out of the mouth of the false prophet. They are [the] spirits of demons, performing signs which go out to the kings of the earth & of the whole world to gather them to the battle of the great day of God Almighty. “Behold, I am coming as a thief. Blessed is he who watches & keeps his garments, lest he walk naked & they see his shame.” They gathered them together to the place called in Hebrew, Armageddon. 
• Rev 16:17-21 The 7th angel poured out his bowl into the air & a loud voice came out of the temple of heaven from the throne saying, “It is done!” And there were noises & thunderings & lightnings & there was a great earthquake, such a mighty & great earthquake as had not occurred since men were on the earth. The great city was divided into 3 parts & the cities of the nations fell. And great Babylon was remembered before God to give her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath. Then every island fled away & the mountains were not found. Great hail from heaven fell upon men, each hailstone about the weight of a talent. Men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail, since that plague was exceedingly great.
• Rev 19:6 John heard the voice as it were of a great multitude, as the sound of many waters & as the sound of mighty thunderings saying, “Alleluia! For the Lord God Omnipotent reigns!” 
• Rev 19:19-21 John saw the beast, kings of the earth, their armies, gathered together to make war against Him who sat on the horse & against His army. Then the beast was captured & with him the false prophet who worked signs in his presence by which he deceived those who worshiped his image. These 2 were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone. The rest were killed with the sword  which proceeded from the mouth of Him who sat on the horse. All the birds were filled with their flesh.
•   Rev 20:1- 6 John saw an angel coming down from heaven having the key to the bottomless pit & a great chain in his hand. He laid hold of the dragon, that serpent of old, who is the Devil & Satan & bound him for 1,000 years & he cast him into the bottomless pit & shut him up & set a seal on him, so that he should deceive the nations no more till the 1,000 years were finished. But after these things he must be released for a little while. John saw thrones & they sat on them & judgment was committed to them. Then he saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus & for the word of God who had not worshiped the beast or his image & had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. They lived and reigned with Christ for 1,000 years. The rest of the dead did not live again until the 1,000 years were finished. This is the 1st resurrection. Blessed & holy is he who has part in the 1st resurrection. Over such the 2nd death has no power, but they shall be priests of God & of Christ & shall reign with Him 1,000 years.
• Rev 20:7-10 When the 1,000 years have expired, Satan will be released from his prison & will go out to deceive the nations which are in the 4 corners of the earth, Gog & Magog, to gather them together to battle, whose number is as the sand of the sea. They went up on the breadth of the earth & surrounded the camps of the saints & beloved city. Fire came down from God out of heaven & devoured them. The devil, who deceived them was cast into the lake of fire & brimstone where the beast & the false prophet are. They will be tormented day & Night  forever & ever.
• Rev 20:11-15 Then, John saw a great white throne & Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth & the heaven fled away. There was found no place for them. He saw the dead, small & great, standing before God, & books were opened. Another book was opened which is the Book of Life. The dead were judged according to their works, but the things which were written in the books. The sea gave up the dead who were in it & Death & Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. They were judged, each one according to his works. Then Death & Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the 2nd death. Anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.
• Rev 21:1-7 John saw a new heaven & a new earth, for the 1st heaven & the 1st earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. He heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men & He will dwell with them & they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them & be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.” Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” He said to John, “Write, for these words are true and faithful.” He said to John, “It is done! I am the Alpha & the Omega, the Beginning & the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. He who overcomes shall inherit all things & I will be his God & he shall be My son.
• Rev 21:8 But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters & all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire & brimstone, which is the 2nd death.” 
• Rev 22:1-7 He  [angel] showed John a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God & of the Lamb. In the middle of its street & on either side of the river was the tree of life, which bore 12 fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. There shall be no more curse, but the throne of God & the Lamb shall be in it & His servants shall serve Him. They shall see His face & His name shall be on their foreheads. There shall be no night there: They need no lamp nor light of the sun for the Lord God gives them light. And they shall reign forever & ever. Then he said to John, “These words are faithful & true.” The Lord God of the holy prophets sent His angel to show His servants the things which must shortly take place. “Behold, I am coming quickly! Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.
• Rev 22:11-17 He said to John, “Do not seal the words of this prophecy of this book for the time is at hand. He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him be righteous still; he who is holy, let him be holy still.” “And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with me to give to every one according to his work. I am the Alpha & the Omega, the Beginning & the End, the First & the Last.” Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life & may enter through the gates into the city. But outside are dogs, sorcerers, sexually immoral, murderers, idolaters & whoever loves & practices a lie. “I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the Root & the Offspring of David, the Bright & Morning Star.” The Spirit & the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely.

• Rev 22:18-20 For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this  book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; & if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, & from the things which are written in this book. He who testifies of these things says, “Surely I am coming quickly.” Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus! The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

[End of World Predictions Analysis: I am not going to try to interpret all these End of World Prediction passages, since many are signs that are open to a vast array of interpretations. I recently got literature in the mail, that I hadn’t requested, that states that the beast of the sea and of the land, the little horn, the dragon, and the antichrist are related to the pope and the papacy. Is that accurate? Maybe yes and maybe no. I don’t know the answer to these things, but I am sharing this so you can be mindful and prayerful to listen to the instincts that Christ alone can give you.]

[In my opinion, as a Christian, I found what works best for me is not to get too caught up in trying to find literal interpretations or definitive interpretations for things of this nature. I just focus on Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior and I don’t get overwhelmed by the details that are beyond my comprehension.]

[I will use this as an example: Revelation 21:21 says: The twelve gates were twelve pearls: each individual gate was of one pearl. And the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass.]

[Well, I used to hear people argue about what heaven is going to be like. Does it matter if the streets of heaven are going to be made of pure gold, are gold plated or just look like gold? No, none of that is really significant, in my opinion! What is significant is that I want to end up in heaven when Jesus calls me no matter what the streets are paved with! The way that is possible is not to get caught up in arguments with others that Satan may use to lead us astray.] 

[If I focus on Jesus Christ as my Savior, His commandments, and what He wants for me, I am most apt to end up in heaven on the Last Day. Of course, I’m not perfect, but all my many sins are forgiven as long as I stay focused on Christ who made the ultimate sacrifice for me and He did it for you, too!]

Remember John 3:16-21 when Jesus says: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.”

Follow Jesus Christ, who is the Light of the World and will lead you to Salvation!

Basics of what these Revelation verses said (sometimes paraphrased)

Rev 1:1-3 This is the Revelation of Jesus Christ which God gave Him to show His servants things that must shortly take place. He sent & signified by His angel to His servant John, who bore witness of the word of God, & to the testimony of Jesus Christ, to all things that he [John] saw. Blessed is he who reads & those who hear the words of this prophecy, & keep those things which are written in it; for the time is near.

Rev 1:4-6 John is to share this information with the 7 churches in Asia from Him who is & was & is to come & from the 7 spirits who are before His throne & Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead & ruler over the kings of the earth. To Him who loved us & washed us from our sins in His own blood& has made us kings & priests to His God & Father, to Him be glory & dominion forever & ever. Amen.

Rev 1:7-8 He [Christ] is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him. all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. Amen. “I am the Alpha & the Omega, the Beginning & the End,” says the Lord, “who is & who was & who is to come, the Almighty.”

Rev 1:9 John, brother & companion in tribulation & kingdom & patience of Jesus Christ & was on the island of Patmos for the word of God & for the testimony of Jesus Christ.

Rev 1:10-11 John was in the Spirit on the Lord’s Day when he heard a loud voice behind him like a trumpet saying, “I am the Alpha & the Omega, the First & the Last. What You see, write in a book & send it to the 7 churches in Asia: Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamos, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, & Laodicea.”

Rev 1:12-16 John turned to see the voice that spoke with him & saw 7 golden lampstands. In the midst of the 7 lampstands, One like the Son of Man, clothed with a garment down to the feet & girded about the chest with a golden band. His head & hair were white as snow & His eyes like a flame of fire. His feet were like fine brass, as if refined in a furnace & His voice as the sound of many waters. Jesus had in His right hand 7 stars & out of His mouth went a two-edged sword. His countenance was like the sun shining in its strength.

Rev 1:17-20 When he saw Jesus, John fell at His feet as if dead, but Jesus laid His right hand on him saying, “Do not be afraid; I am the First & the Last, I am He who lives & was dead, & behold I am alive forevermore. Amen. I have the keys to Hades & Death. Write the things which you have seen & the things which will take place after this. The mystery of the 7 stars which you saw in My right hand are the angels of the 7 churches, & the 7 golden lampstands are the 7 churches.”

Rev 2:1-7 John is to write this from Jesus“To the angel of the Church of Ephesus:These things says He who holds the 7 stars in His right hand & walks in the midst of the 7 golden lampstands. I know their works, labor, patience & that you can’t bear those who are evil. They have tested those who say they are apostles & have found them liars. They have persevered & have patience, & have labored for My name’s sake & haven’t become weary. Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love, You need to remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent & do the first works or else I will come to you quickly & remove your lampstand from its place. The church & Jesus both hate the Nicolaitans. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in  the midst of the Paradise of God.”

Rev 2:8-11 John should write to: “the angel of the church in Smyrna:From the First & the Last, who was dead, & came to life I know your works, tribulation & poverty (but they are rich); & Jesus knows of the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews & are not, but are of the synagogue of Satan. Don’t fear the things which you are about to suffer, for the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested & you will have tribulation for 10 days. Be faithful until death, & I will give you the crown of life. Hear what the Spirit says to the churches: He who overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death.”

Rev 2:12-17 John is to write to: the angel of the church in Pergamos that He who has the two-edged sword. I know your works & where you dwell, where Satan’s throne is & you hold fast to My name, & did not deny My faith even in the days in which Antipas was My faithful martyr, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells. I [Jesus] have some things against them, because they have those who hold the doctrine of Balaam who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the children of Israel to eat things sacrificed to idols & to commit sexual immorality. You also have those who hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate. Repent, or else I will come to you quickly & will fight against them with the sword of My mouth. The Spirit says to the churches: to him who overcomes, I will give some of the hidden manna to eat & I will give them a white stone, & on the stone a new name written which no one knows except him who receives it.”

Rev 2:18-29 John writes to the church of Thyatira: “These things says the Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire & His feet like fine brass; I know your works, love, service, faith & your patience. As for your works, the last are more than the first. Nevertheless, I have a few things against you, because you allow that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach & seduce My servants to commit sexual immorality & eat things sacrificed to idols. I gave her time to repent of her sexual immorality, & she didn’t repent. Indeed I will cast her into a sickbed, & those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of their deeds. I will kill her children with death & all the churches shall know that I am He who searches the minds & hearts. I will give to each according to your works. Many in Thyatira don’t know the depths of Satan as they say, I will put on you no other burden. But hold fast what you have till I come. “And He who overcomes & sees My works until the end, to him I will give power over the nations-’He shall rule them with a rod of iron; They shall be dashed to pieces like the potter’s vessels, as I also have received from My Father; & I will give him the morning star. “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”

Rev 3:1-6 John writes for Jesus to the church of Sardis, “These things says He who has the 7 Spirits of God & 7 stars. I know your works, that you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead. Be watchful & strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die, for I haven't  found your works perfect before God. Remember what you have received & heard, hold fast & repent. If you don’t watch, I will come on you as a thief & you will not know what hour I will come upon you. I have a few names even in Sardis who have not defiled their garments; & they shall walk with Me in white, because they are worthy. He who overcomes will be clothed in white garments & I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life, but will confess his name before My Father & before His angels. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

Rev 3:7-13 John writes to the church of Philadelphia for the Holy Spirit, “These things says He who is holy, He who is true. Hey who has the key of David, He who opens & no one shuts, & shuts & no one opens.” I [Jesus] know your works, I set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word & have not denied My name. I will make those of the synagogue of Satan who lie & say they are Jews & are not, to come worship before your feet & to know that I have loved you, because you have kept My command to persevere. I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.Behold, I am coming quickly! Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown. He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God & he shall go out no more. I will write on him the name of My God & the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which will come down out of heaven from My God. I will write on him My new name. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”

Rev 3:14-22 “And to the angel of the church of Laodiceans  write, These things says the Amen, the Faithful & True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God:  I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you re luke-warm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. Because you say, I am rich, have become wealthy & have need of nothing & do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind & naked- I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich: & white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; & anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous & repent. Behold I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice & opens the door, I will come in to him & dine with him & he with Me. To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I, also overcame & sat down with My Father on His throne. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”

Rev 4:1-6 John saw a door standing open in heaven. The first voice he heard was like a trumpet speaking with him, saying, “Come up here & I will show you things which must take place after this. He was immediately in the Spirit & behold a throne set in heaven, & One sat on the throne. He who sat on there was like jasper & sardius stone in appearance there was a rainbow around the throne, In appearance like an emerald. Around the throne were 24 thrones &  John saw 24 elders sitting, clothed in white robes & they had crowns of gold on their heads. From the throne proceeded lightnings, thunderings & voices. 7 lamps of fire were burning before the throne which are the 7 Spirits of God. Before the throne there was a sea of glass & in the midst of the throne & around about the throne, were 4 living creatures full of eyes in front & in back.

Rev 4:7-11 The 1st living creature was like a lion, the 2nd living creature like a calf, the 3rd living creature had a face like a man & the 4th living creature was like a flying eagle. The 4 living creatures each have 6 wings & were full of eyes around & within. They do not rest day or night saying,”Holy, holy, holy, Lord God almighty, Who was & is & is to come!”  Whenever the living creatures give glory & honor & thanks to Him [God] who sits on the throne & lives forever, the 24 elders fall down before Him & worship Him & cast their crowns before the throne saying, “You are worthy, O Lord, To receive glory & honor & power; For You created all things, & by Your will they exist & were created.”

Rev 5:1-14 John saw in the right hand of Him who sat on the throne a scroll written inside & on the back, sealed with 7 seals. Then he saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll & to loose its seals?” No one in heaven, on earth or under it was able to open the scroll or look at it. John wept, because no one was worthy to open & read the scroll, but one of the elders told him not to weep, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the scroll & loose its 7 seals. John saw in the midst of the throne & of the 4 living creatures & the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as though it had been slain, having 7 horns & 7 eyes, which are the 7 Spirits of God sent out into all the earth. He came & took the scroll out of the right hand of Him who sat on the throne.  When He had taken the scroll, the 4 living creatures & 24 elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp & golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints & they sang a new song saying:”You are worthy to take the scroll, & to open its seals: For You were slain, & have redeemed us to God by Your blood Out of every tribe & tongue & people & nation, & have made us Kings & priests of our God; & we shall reign on the earth.” Then John heard the voice of many angels, living creatures & elders around the throne & the number of them was 10,000 x 10,000 + 1,000’s +1,000’s saying with a loud voice: “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain To receive power & riches & wisdom & strength & honor & glory & blessing!” every creature which is in heaven, on earth & under it & such as are in the sea & all that are in them, he heard saying, “Blessing & honor & glory & power Be to Him who sits on the throne, & to the Lamb, forever & ever!” Then the 4 living creatures said, “Amen!” The 24 elders fell down & worshipped Him who lives forever & ever.

Rev 6:1-2 John saw when the Lamb opened 1 of the seals & heard 1 of the 4 Living Creatures saying with a voice like thunder, “Come & see.” He looked a behold, a white horse & He who sat on it had a bow & a crown was given to him. He went out conquering & to conquer.

Rev 6:3-4 When He opened the 2nd seal, John heard the 2nd Living Creature saying, “Come & see.” A fiery red horse went out & it was granted to the one who sat on it to take peace from the earth & that people should  kill one another & there was given him a great sword.

Rev 6:5-6 When He opened the 3rd seal, John heard the 3rd Living creature say, “Come & see.”  John saw a black horse & he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand. He heard a voice in the midst of the 4 Living Creatures saying, “A quart of wheat for a denarius & 3 quarts of barley for a denarius & do not harm the oil & the wine.”

Rev 6:7-8 When He opened the 4th seal, John heard the voice of the 4th Living Creature say, “Come & see.” He saw a pale horse & the name of him who sat on it was Death and Hades followed with him. Power was given  to them over ¼ of the earth to kill with a sword, with hunger, with death & with the beasts of the earth.

Rev 6:9-11 When He opened the 5th seal, John saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God & for the testimony which they held. They cried with a loud voice saying, “How long, O Lord, holy & true until You judge & avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?” Then a white robe was given to each of them & it was said to them that they should rest a little while longer, until both the number of their fellow servants & their brethren, who would be killed as they were, was completed.

Rev 6:12-17 John looked when He opened the 6th seal & behold there was a great earthquake; & the sun became black as sackcloth of hair & the moon became like blood, the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind. The sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up & every mountain & island was moved out of its place. The kings of the earth, great men, rich men, commanders, mighty men, every slave & every free man hid themselves in the caves & the rocks of the mountains & said to the mountains & rocks, “Fall on us & hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne & from the wrath of the Lamb! For the great day of His wrath has come & who is able to stand?”

Rev 7:1  After these things, John saw 4 angels standing at the 4 corners of the earth holding the 4 winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, sea or any tree.

Rev 7:2-8 John saw another angel ascending from the east having the seal of the living God & he cried with a loud voice to the 4 angels to whom it was granted to harm the earth & sea saying, “Do not harm the earth, sea, or trees till we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.” John heard the number of those sealed:144,00 of all the tribes of the children of Israel were sealed. 12,000 each of the following tribes were sealed: Tribes of Judah, Reuben, Gad, Asher, Naphtali, Manasseh, Simeon, Levi, Issachar, Zebulun, Joseph, Benjamin.

Rev 7:9-12 After these, John saw a great multitude which no one could number of all nations, tribes, peoples & tongues, standing before the throne & before the Lamb clothed with white robes & palm branches in their hands. They were crying with a loud voice saying, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne & to the Lamb!” All the angels stood around the throne & the elders & 4 Living Creatures & fell on their faces before the throne & worshiped God saying, “Amen! Blessing & glory & wisdom, Thanksgiving & honor & power & might, Be to our God forever & ever. Amen”

Rev 7:13-17 One of the elders answered John saying, “Who are these arrayed in white robes & where did they come from?” John told him that he knew. So he told John, “They are the ones who come out of the great tribulation & washed their robes & made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore they are before the throne of God & serve Him day & night in His temple. He who sits on the throne will dwell among them . They shall neither hunger nor thirst anymore. The sun shall not strike them nor any heat for the Lamb who is in the  midst of the throne will shepherd them & lead them to living fountains of waters. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”

Rev 8:1-4 When He opened the 7th seal, there was silence in heaven for about ½ hour. John saw the 7  angels who stand before God were given 7 trumpets. Another angel having a golden censer came & stood at the altar. He was given much incense that he should offer it with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. The smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, ascended before God from the angel’s hand.

Rev 8:5-6 Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar & threw it to the earth. There were noises, thunderings, lightnings & an earthquake.So the 7 angels sounded who had the 7 trumpets prepared themselves to sound.

Rev 8:7 1st angel sounded & Hail & fire followed, mingled with blood & they were thrown to the earth. ⅓  of the trees  were burned up & all green grass was burned up.

Rev 8:8-9 2nd angel sounded: & something like a great mountain, burning with fire was thrown into the sea & ⅓ of the sea became blood & ⅓ of the living creatures in the sea died & ⅓ of ships were destroyed.

Rev 8:10-11 3rd angel sounded: a great star fell from heaven burning like a torch & fell on ⅓  of rivers &  springs of water. The name of the star is Wormwood & ⅓ of the water became wormwood & many men died from the water, because it was made bitter.

Rev 8:12-13 4th angel sounded:⅓ of the sun  was struck, ⅓ of the moon & ⅓ of the stars were darkened. ⅓  of the day did not shine & likewise the night. John looked and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven saying with a loud voice, “Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth, because of the remaining blasts of the trumpet of the 3 angels who are about to sound!”

Rev 9:1-12 5th angel sounded: & John saw a star fallen from heaven to the earth. To him was given the key to the bottomless pit. He opened the bottomless pit & smoke arose out of the pit like the smoke of a great furnace. So the sun & the air were darkened because of the smoke of the pit. Then out of the smoke locusts came upon the earth & to them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. They were commanded not to harm the grass of the earth or any green thing, or any tree, but only those men who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads. They were not given authority to kill them [ones without God’s seal], but to torment them for 5 months. Their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it strikes a man. In those days men will seek death & will not find it. They will desire to die & death will flee from them. The shape of the locusts was like horses prepared for battle. On their heads were crowns of something like gold & their faces were like the faces of men. They had hair like women’s hair & their teeth were like lion’s teeth. They had breastplates like breastplates of iron & the sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots with many horses running into battle. They had tails like scorpions & there were stings in their tails.There power was to hurt men 5 months. They had a king over them, the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, but in Greek he has the name Apollyon. One woe is past. Behold, still 2 more woes are coming after these things.

Rev 9:13-21 r 6th angel sounded: & John heard a voice from the 4 horns of the golden altar which is before God, saying to the 6th angel who had the trumpet, “Release the 4 angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.” So the 4 angels who had been prepared for the hour & day & month & year were released to kill ⅓ of mankind.John heard the number of the army of the horsemen: was 200 million. He saw the horses in the vision: those who sat on them had breastplates of fiery red, hyacinth blue & sulphur yellow & the heads of the  horses were like the heads of Lions & out of their mouths came fire, smoke & brimstone. By these 3 plagues ⅓ of mankind was killed-by fire & smoke & brimstone which came out of their mouths. For their power is in their mouth & tails; for their tails are like serpents, having heads & with them they do harm. The rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons & idols of gold, silver, brass, stone & wood which can neither see, nor hear, nor walk. And they did not repent of their murders or their sorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts.

Rev 10:1-11 John saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven, clothed with a cloud. And a rainbow was on his head, his face was like the sun & his feet like pillars of fire. He had a little book open in his hand. He set his right foot on the sea & his left foot on the land & cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roars. When he  cried out, 7 thunders uttered their voices. When the 7 thunders uttered their voices, John was about to write; but heard a voice saying to him, “Seal up the things which the 7 thunders uttered & do not write them.” The angel John saw standing on the sea & on the land raise up his hand to heaven & swore by Him who lives forever & ever, who created heaven & the things that are in it & earth & the things that are in it & the sea & the things that are in it, that there should be delay no longer, but in the days of the sounding of the 7th angel, when he is about to sound, the mystery of God would be finished, as He declared to His servants the prophets. Then the voice that he heard from heaven spoke to him again & said, “Go, take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel who stands on the sea & on the earth.” So John went to the angel & said to him, “Give me the little book.” And he said to John, “Take & eat  it & it will make your stomach bitter, but it will be as sweet as honey in your mouth.” Then John took the little book out of the angel’s hand & ate it & it was as sweet as honey in his mouth, but when he had eaten it, his stomach became bitter. He said to John, “You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, tongues & kings."

Rev 11:1-2 John was given a reed like a measuring rod. The angel stood saying, “Rise & measure the temple of God, the altar, & those who worship there. But leave out the court which is outside the temple, & do not measure it, for it has been given to the Gentiles. And they will tread the holy city underfoot for 42 months.

Rev 11:3-6 I will give power to my 2 Witnesses & they will prophesy 1,260 days clothed in sackcloth.” These are 2 olive trees & the 2 lampstands standing before the God of the earth. If anyone wants to harm them, fire proceeds from their mouth & devours their enemies, If anyone wants to harm them, he must be killed in this manner. These have power to shut heaven, so no rain falls in the days of their prophecy & they have power over waters to turn them to blood & to strike the earth with all plagues as often as they desire.

Rev 11:7-12 When they finish their testimony, the beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit will make war against them, overcome them & kill them. Their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city which spiritually is called Sodom & Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. Then those from the people, tribes, tongues & nations will see their dead bodies 3 ½ days & not allow their dead bodies to be put into graves. Those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them, make merry & send gifts to one another, because these 2 prophets tormented those who dwell on earth.  After 3 ½ days the breath of life from God entered them & they stood on their feet & great fear fell on those who saw them. And they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here.” And they ascended to heaven in a cloud & their enemies saw them.

Rev 11:13-14 In the same hour, there was a great earthquake & 1/10 of the city fell. In the earthquake 7,000 people were killed & the rest were afraid & gave glory to the God of heaven. The Second Woe is past. Behold the third is coming quickly.

Rev 11:15-19 The 7th angel sounded: Loud voices in heaven saying, “The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord & His Christ & He shall reign forever & ever!” 24 elders who sat before God on their thrones fell on their faces & worshipped God saying, “We give You thanks, O Lord God Almighty, The One who is  & who was & who is to come, Because You have taken Your great power & reigned. The nations were angry & Your wrath has come & the time of the dead, that they should be judged, & that You should reward Your servants the prophets & the saints, & those who fear Your name, small & great, & should destroy those who destroy the earth.” Then the temple of God was opened in heaven & the ark of His covenant was seen in His temple. There were lightnings, noises, thunderings, an earthquake & great hail.

Rev 12:1-6 A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet & on her head was a garland of 12 stars. Then being with child, she cried out in labor & pain to give birth. Another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great, fiery red dragon having 7 heads & 10 horns & 7 diadems [crowns] on his heads. His tail drew  ⅓ of the stars of heaven & threw them to the earth. The dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth, to devour her Child as soon as it was born. She bore a male Child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron, He Child was caught up to God & His throne. The woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God that they should feed her there 1,260 days.

Rev 12:7-9 And war broke out in heaven. Micahel & his angels fought with the dragon & the dragon & his angels fought, but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer. The great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old called the Devil & Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth & his angels were cast out with him.

Rev 12:10-17 John heard a loud voice in heaven saying, “ Now salvation & strength & the kingdom of our God & the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down.  And   they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb & by the word of their testimony & they did not love their lives until death. Rejoice, O heavens & you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth & the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time.” When the dragon saw that he had been cast to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male Child.  The woman was given 2 wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place where she is nourished for a time & times & half a time, from the presence of the serpent. The serpent spewed water out of his mouth like a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood. But the earth helped the woman & the earth opened its mouth & swallowed up the flood which the dragon had spewed out of his mouth. The dragon was enraged with the woman & he went to make war with the rest of her offspring [Christians], who keep the commandments of God & have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

Rev 13:1-10 John stood on the sand of the sea & saw a beast rising up out of the sea having 7 heads & 10 horns each with a crown & on his heads was a blasphemous name. The beast he saw was like a leopard, his feet were like the feet of a bear, & his mouth like the lion. The dragon gave him power, his throne & great authority. He saw 1 of the heads had been mortally wounded & his deadly wound was healed. All the world marveled & followed the beast. They worshipped the dragon who gave authority to the beast & worshiped the beast saying, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?” He was given a mouth speaking great things, blasphemies & was given authority to continue for 42 months. Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God to blaspheme His name, His tabernacle, & those who dwell in heaven. It was granted him to make war with the saints & to overcome them. Authority was given him over every tribe, tongue & nation.  All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. If anyone has an ear, let him hear. He who leads into captivity shall go into captivity; he who kills with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience & the faith of the saints.

Rev 13:11-18 John saw another beast coming up out of the earth & he had 2 horns like a lamb & spoke like a dragon. He exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence & causes the earth & those who dwell in it to worship the 1st beast whose deadly wound was healed. He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. He deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword & lived. He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast should both speak & cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. He causes all, both small & great, rich & poor, free & slave to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, & that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast or the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: HIs number is 666.

Rev 14:1-5 John saw a Lamb standing on Mount Zion & with Him 144,000 having HIs Father’s name written on their foreheads. He heard a voice in heaven like the voice of many waters & like the voice of thunder & the sound of harpists playing their harps. They sang as it were a new song before the throne, before the 4 Living Creatures & the elders & no one could learn that song except the 144,000 who were redeemed from the earth. These are the ones who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins & follow the Lamb wherever He goes. They were redeemed from among men, being firstfruits to God & to the Lamb. In their mouths was found no deceit, for they are without fault before the throne of God.

Rev 14:6-11 John saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth-to every nation, tribe, tongue & people-saying with a loud voice, “Fear God & give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come. Worship Him who made heaven & earth, the sea & springs of water.” Another angel followed saying, “Babylon, that great city is fallen, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.” Then, a 3rd angel followed saying, “If anyone worships the beast & his image & receives his mark on his forehead or his hand, he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire & brimstone in the presence of the holy angels in the presence of the Lamb. The smoke of their torment ascends forever & ever & they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast & his image & whoever receives the mark of his name.”

Rev 14:12-20 Here is the patience of the saints; here are those who keep the commandments of God & the faith of Jesus. John heard a voice from heaven saying to him, “Write: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on that they may rest from their labors & works follow them,” says the Spirit. He saw a white cloud with One like the Son of Man sitting on it, having a golden crown on his head & a sharp sickle in His hand. Another angel came out of the temple crying with a loud voice to Him who sat on the cloud, “Thrust in Your sickle & reap for the time has come for You to reap, for the harvest of the earth is ripe.” So He who sat on the cloud thrust in His sickle on the earth & the earth was reaped. Another angel came out of the temple in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle. Another angel came out from the altar who had power over fire & he cried with a loud cry to Him who had the sharp sickle saying, “Thrust in your sharp sickle & gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, for her grapes are fully ripe.” So the angel thrust his sickle into the earth & gathered the vine of the earth & threw it into the great winepress of the wrath of God. The winepress was trampled outside the city & blood came out of the winepress of the wrath of God up to the horses’ bridles for 1,600 furlongs.

Rev 15:1-8 John saw another sign in heaven, great & marvelous, 7 angels having the 7 last plagues, for in them the wrath of God is complete. He saw something like a sea of glass mingled with fire & those who have the victory over the beast & his image & his mark & over the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass, having harps of God. They sang the song of Moses, the servant of God & the song of the Lamb saying:  “Great & marvelous are your works, Lord God Almighty! Just & true are Your ways, O KIng of the saints! Who shall not fear You O Lord, & glorify Your name? For You alone are holy. For all nations shall come & worship before You, For Your judgments have been manifested.”  John saw that the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened. Out of the temple came the 7 angels with the 7 plagues clothed in pure bright linen with their chest girded with golden bands. One of the 4 Living Creatures gave to the 7 angels 7 golden bowls of the wrath of God who lives forever & ever.The temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God & from His power & no one was able to enter the temple till the 7 plagues of the 7 angelswere completed.

Rev 16:1 John heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the 7 angels, “Go & pour out the bowls of the wrath of God on the earth.”

Rev 16:2 The 1st [angel] went & poured out his bowl upon the earth & a foul & loathsome sore came upon the men who had the mark of the beast & those who worshiped his image.

Rev 16:3 The 2nd angel poured out his bowl on the sea & it became blood as of a dead man & every living creature in the sea died.

Rev 16:4-7 The 3rd angel poured out his bowl on the rivers & springs of water & they became blood. He heard the angel of the waters saying, “You are righteous, O Lord, The One who is & who was & who is to be, Because You have judged these things. For they have shed the blood of saints & prophets, And You have given them blood to drink. For it is their just due.” He heard another from the altar saying, “Even so, Lord God Almighty, true & righteous are Your judgments.”

Rev 16:8-9 The 4th angel poured out his bowl on the sun & power was given to him to scorch men with fire. Men were scorched with great heat & they blasphemed the name of God who has power over these plagues & they did not repent & give Him glory.

Rev 16:10-11The 5th angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast & his kingdom became full of darkness; & they gnawed their tongues because of the pain. They blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains & their sores & did not repent of their deeds.

Rev 16:12-16 The 6th angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates & its water was dried up, so that the way of the kings from the east might be prepared. John saw 3 unclean spirits like frogs coming out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast & out of the mouth of the false prophet. They are [the] spirits of demons, performing signs which got out to the kings of the earth & of the whole world to gather them to the battle of the great day of God Almighty. “Behold, I am coming as a thief. Blessed is he who watches & keeps his garments, lest he walk naked & they see his shame.” They gathered them together to the place called in Hebrew, Armageddon.

Rev 16:17-21 The 7th angel poured out his bowl into the air & a loud voice came out of the temple of heaven from the throne saying, “It is done!” And there were noises & thunderings & lightnings & there was a great earthquake, such a mighty & great earthquake as had not occurred since men were on the earth. The great city was divided into 3 parts & the cities of the nations fell. And great Babylon was remembered before God to give her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath. Then every island fled away & the mountains were not found. Great hail from heaven fell upon men, each hailstone about the weight of a talent. Men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail, since that plague was exceedingly great.

Rev 17:1-8 One of the 7 angels who had the 7 bowls came & talked to John saying, “Come, I will show you the judgment of the great harlot who sits on many waters, with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication & the inhabitants of the earth were made drunk with the wine of her formnication.” He carried John away in the Spirit into the wilderness & he saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast which was full of names of blasphemy, having 7 heads & 10 horns. The woman was arrayed in purple & scarlet & adorned with gold & precious stones & pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations & the filthiness of her fornication. On her forehead a name was written: Mystery, Babylon The Great, The Mother of Harlots & of the Abominations of The Earth. He saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints & with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. When he saw her, he marveled with great amazement. The angel said to John, “Why did you marvel? I will tell you the mystery of the woman & of the beast that carries her, which has the 7 heads & 10 horns. The beast that you saw was & is not & will ascend out of the  bottomless pit & go to perdition. Those who dwell on the earth will marvel, whose names are not written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world, when they see the beast that was & is not & yet is.

Rev 18:9-18 [The angel tells John] “Here is the mind which has wisdom: the 7 heads are 7 mountains on which the woman sits. There are also 7 kings. 5 have fallen, 1 is & the other has not yet come. When he comes, he must continue a short time. The beast that was & is not is himself also the 8th & is of the 7 & is going to perdition. The 10 horns are 10 kings who have received no kingdom yet, but they  receive authority for 1 hour as kings with the beast. These are of 1 mind & they will give their power & authority to the beast. These will make war with the Lamb and the Lamb will overcome them for He is Lord of lords & King of kings & those who are with Him are called, chosen & faithful. The angel told John,  “The waters which you saw where the harlot sits are peoples, multitudes, nations & tongues. The 10 horns you saw on the beast, these will hate the harlot & make her desolate & naked, eat her flesh & burn her with fire.  For God has put it into their hearts to fulfill His purpose to be of 1 mind & to give their kingdom to the beast until the words of God are fulfilled. The woman whom you saw is that great city which reigns over the kings of the earth.”

Rev 18:1-3 After these things John saw another angel coming from heaven having great authority & the earth was illuminated with his glory. He cried mightily saying loudly, “Babylon the great is fallen & has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul spirit  & cage for every unclean & hated bird! All the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her & the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury.”

Rev 18:4-24 John heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins & lest you receive of her plagues. For her sins have reached to heaven & God has remembered her iniquities. Render to her as she did to you, but repay her double, because she glorified herself & lived luxuriously, in the same measure give her torment & sorrow for she says, ‘I sit as a queen & will not see   sorrow.’ Therefore her plagues will come in 1 day-death & mourning & famine. She [the City of Babylon] will be utterly burned with fire for strong is the Lord God who judges her. The kings of the earth who committed fornication & lived luxuriously with her will weep & lament for her when they see the smoke of her burning, saying, “Alas that great city Babylon that mighty city! For in 1 hour your judgement has come.’ The merchants will weep & mourn over her for no one buys their merchandise of gold, silver, precious stones, pearls, fine linen, purple, silk, scarlet, every kind of citron wood, object of ivory, most precious wood, bronze, iron, marble, cinnamon, incense, fragrant oil & frankincense, wine, oil, fine flour, wheat, cattle, sheep, horses & chariots & souls of men. The things your soul longs for have gone from you & all things which are rich & splendid have gone from you & shall not be found any more at all. The merchants who become rich by her will stand at a distance for fear of her torment, weeping & wailing, saying, ‘Alas, that great city was clothed in fine linen, purple & scarlet & was adorned with gold & precious stones & pearls! In 1 hour such great riches came to nothing.’ Every shipmaster, all who travel by ship, sailors & as many as trade on the sea, stood at a distance & cried out when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, ‘What is like this great city?’ They threw dust on their heads & cried out, weeping & wailing & saying, ‘alas that great city in which all who had ships on the sea became rich by her wealth! For in 1 hour she is made desolate.’ “Rejoice over her, O heaven & you holy apostles & prophets for God has avenged you on her!” A mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone & threw it into the sea saying, “Thus with violence the great city Babylon shall be thrown down & shall not be found anymore, the sound of harpists, musicians, flutists & trumpeters shall not be heard in you anymore. No craftsman of any craft shall be found in you anymore & the sound of a millstone shall not be heard in you anymore. The light of a lamp shall not shine in you anymore & the voice of bridegroom & bride shall not be heard in you any more for your merchants were great men of the earth, for by your sorcery all nations were deceived. In her was found the blood of prophets & saints & all who were slain on the earth.”

Rev 19:1-10 After these things John heard a loud voice in heaven saying, “Alleluia! Salvation & glory & honor & power belong to the Lord our God! For true & righteous are His judgments, because He has judged the great harlot who corrupted the earth with her fornication & He has avenged on her the blood of His servants shed by her.” Again they said, “Alleluia. Her smoke rises up forever & ever!” The 24 elders & 4 Living Creatures fell down & worshiped God who sat on the throne, saying, “Amen! Alleluia!” A voice came from the throne saying, “Praise our God, all you His servants & those who fear Him, both small & great!” John heard the voice as it were of a great multitude, as the sound of many waters & as the sound of mighty thunderings saying, “Alleluia! For the Lord God Omnipotent reigns!” Let us be glad & rejoice & give Him glory for the marriage of the Lamb has come & His wife has made herself ready.” To her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean & bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints. Then he [angel] said to me, “Write: ‘Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb!’” And he said to John, “These are the true sayings of God.” John fell at his feet to worship him, but he said to John, “See that you do not do that! I am your fellow servant & your brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”

Rev 19:11-21 John saw the heaven opened & behold a white horse & He who sat on him was called Faithful & True & in righteousness He judges & makes war. His eyes were like a flame of fire & on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself. He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood & His name is called The Word of God. The armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white & clean followed Him on white horses. Out of His mouth goes a sharp sword that with it He should strike the nations. He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness & wrath of Almighty God. He has on His robe & on His thigh a name written: King Of Kings And Lord Of Lords. John saw an angel standing in the sun. He [the angel] cried with a loud voice saying to all the birds that fly in the midst of heaven, “Come & gather together for the supper of the great God, that you may eat the flesh of kings, captains, mighty men, horses & those who sit on them & all people free & slave, both small & great.” John saw the beast, kings of the earth, their armies, gathered together to make war against Him who sat on the horse & against His army. Then the beast was captured & with him the false prophet who worked signs in his presence by which he deceived those who worshiped his image. These 2 were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone. The rest were killed with the sword  which proceeded from the mouth of Him who sat on the horse. All the birds were filled with their flesh.

Rev 20:1- 6 John saw an angel coming down from heaven having the key to the bottomless pit & a great chain in his hand. He laid hold of the dragon, that serpent of old, who is the Devil & Satan & bound him for 1,000 years & he cast him into the bottomless pit & shut him up & set a seal on him, so that he should deceive the nations no more till the 1,000 years were finished. But after these things he must be released for a little while. John saw thrones & they sat on them & judgment was committed to them. Then he saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus & for the word of God who had not worshiped the beast or his image & had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. They lived and reigned with Christ for 1,000 years. The rest of the dead did not live again until the 1,000 years were finished. This is the 1st resurrection. Blessed & holy is he who has part in the 1st resurrection. Over such the 2nd death has no power, but they shall be priests of God & of Christ & shall reign with Him 1,000 years.

Rev 20:7-10 When the 1,000 years have expired, Satan will be released from his prison & will go out to deceive the nations which are in the 4 corners of the earth, Gog & Magog, to gather them together to battle, whose number is as the sand of the sea. They went up on the breadth of the earth & surrounded the camps of the saints & beloved city. Fire came down from God out of heaven & devoured them. The devil, who deceived them was cast into the lake of fire & brimstone where the beast & the false prophet are. They will be tormented day &  forever & ever.

Rev 20:11-15 Then, John saw a great white throne & Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth & the heaven fled away. There was found no place for them. He saw the dead, small & great, standing before God, & books were opened. Another book was opened which is the Book of Life. The dead were judged according to their works, but the things which were written in the books. The sea gave up the dead who were in it & Death & Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. They were judged, each one according to his works. Then Death & Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the 2nd death. Anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.

Rev 21:1-8 John saw a new heaven & a new earth, for the 1st heaven & the 1st earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. He heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men & He will dwell with them & they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them & be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.” Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” He said to John, “Write, for these words are true and faithful.” He said to John, “It is done! I am the Alpha & the Omega, the Beginning & the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. He who overcomes shall inherit all things & I will be his God & he shall be My son. But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters & all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire & brimstone, which is the 2nd death.” &

Rev 21: 9-27 One of the angels who had the 7 bowls filled with the 7 last plagues came to John & talked with him saying, “Come, I will show you the bride, the Lamb’s wife.” He carried John away in the Spirit to a great & high mountain & showed him the great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, having the glory of God. Her light was like a most precious stone, like a jasper stone clear as crystal. She had a great & high wall with 12 gates & 12 angels at the gates & names written on them which are the name of the 12 tribes of the children of Israel: 3 gates on the east, 3 gates on the north, 3 gates on the south & 3 gates on the west. The wall of the city had 12 foundations & on them were the names of the 12 apostles of the Lamb. He who talked with John had a gold reed to measure the city, its gates & its wall. The city is laid out as a square, its length is as great as its breadth. John measured the city with the reed: 12,000 furlongs. It’s length, breadth & height are equal. He measured its wall: 144 cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of an angel. The construction of its wall as jasper & the city was pure gold like clear glass. The foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with all kinds of precious stones: the 1st foundation was jasper, the 2nd sapphire, the 3rd chalcedony, the 4th emerald, the 5th sardonyx, the 6th sardius, the 7th chrysolite, the 8th beryl, the 9th topaz, the 10th chrysoprase, the 11th jacinth, and the 12th amethyst. The 12 gates were 12 pearls: each individual gate was of one pearl. The street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass. He saw no temple in it for the Lord God Almighty & the Lamb are its temple. The city had no need of the sun or the moon to shine in it for the glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is its light. The nations of those who are saved shall walk in its light & the kings of the earth bring their glory & honor into it. Its gates shall not be shut at all by day (there shall be no night there). They shall bring the glory & the honor of the nations into it. There shall by no means enter it anything that defiles or causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.

Rev 22:1-10 He  [angel] showed John a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God & of the Lamb. In the middle of its street & on either side of the river was the tree of life, which bore 12 fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. There shall be no more curse, but the throne of God & the Lamb shall be in it & His servants shall serve Him. They shall see His face & His name shall be on their foreheads. There shall be no night there: They need no lamp nor light of the sun for the Lord God gives them light. And they shall reign forever & ever. Then he said to John, “These words are faithful & true.” The Lord God of the holy prophets sent His angel to show His servants the things which must shortly take place. “Behold, I am coming quickly! Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.” Now I, John, saw & heard these things & fell down to worship before the feet of the angelwho showed him these things. He said to me, “See that you do not do that for I am your fellow servants & of your brethren the prophets & of those who keep the words of this book. Worship God.”

Rev 22:11-17 He said to John, “Do not seal the words of this prophecy of this book for the time is at hand. He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him be righteous still; he who is holy, let him be holy still.” “And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with me to give to every one according to his work. I am the Alpha & the Omega, the Beginning & the End, the First & the Last.” Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life & may enter through the gates into the city. But outside are dogs, sorcerers, sexually immoral, murderers, idolaters & whoever loves & practices a lie. “I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the Root & the Offspring of David, the Bright & Morning Star.” The Spirit & the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely.

Rev 22:18-20 For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this  book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; & if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, & from the things which are written in this book. He who testifies of these things says, “Surely I am coming quickly.” Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus! The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
