The Book of Daniel End of World Prophecies Compared with Those in 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 led to create another blog to post this
research- 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 end of world predictions .
After prayerful contemplation of ways to share this information, I will have Topics and possibly subtopics, and will put both the verses from Daniel and Revelation that relate to that topic. There may be some times some 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. Daniel passages are in blue. 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 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 in a separate verse and that there were 12,000
were sealed.
Analysis
Background Information
- Daniel 7:1 In the
first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel had a dream & visions
of his head while on his bed. Then he wrote down the dream telling the
main facts.
- 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.
- Daniel 6:22-23 “My God sent His angel & shut the lion’s mouths, so that they have not hurt me, because I was found innocent before Him & also, O king, I have done no wrong before you.” Now the king was exceedingly glad for him & commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den & no injury whatever was found on him, because he believed in his God.
[Background Information Analysis: Both Daniel and the Apostle John were
specifically selected to share information about End of World Prophecy with
people, so they would be able to change their wicked ways and turn their focus
to God. These were pretty consistent. The Apostle John had been imprisoned on
Patmos for his faith in Christ. Daniel wasn’t exactly imprisoned, although he
was thrown into a lion’s den, because he wouldn’t worship the king. God chose
two who were dedicated to their faith in Him and would not deny that faith,
even at the expense of imprisonment or a lion’s den. ]
Important Information
- Rev 10:4-7
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
- Rev 22:14-17 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.
- Daniel 12:10-13
Many shall be purified, made white & refined, but the wicked shall do
wickedly & none of the wicked shall understand, but the wise shall
understand. And from the time that the daily sacrifice is taken away &
the abomination of desolation is set up, there shall be 1,290 days.
“Blessed is he who waits & comes to the 1,335 days. But you, go your
way till the end for you shall rest & will arise to your inheritance
at the end of the days.’
- 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.”
- Daniel 12:1-13 “At
that time Michael shall stand up, The great prince who stands watch over
the sons of your people; And there shall be a time of trouble, Such as
never was since there was a nation, Even to that time. At that time
your people shall be delivered, Every one who is found written in the book.
Many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, Some to
everlasting life, Some to shame & everlasting contempt. Those who are
wise shall shine Like the brightness of the firmament, And those who turn
many to righteousness Like the stars forever & ever. But you, Daniel,
shut up the words, & seal the book until the time of the end; many
shall run to & fro & knowledge shall increase.
- 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: Both Daniel and the Apostle John were
asked to seal up certain portions of the End of the World Prophecy, but were
able to share lots of pertinent information. Both are consistent in that they
told things God likes and doesn’t like. ]
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.”
- Daniel
9:25-26 Know therefore & understand That from the going forth of the
commands. To restore & build Jerusalem Until Messiah the Prince,
There shall be 7 weeks & 62 weeks; the street shall be built again &
the wall, Even in troublesome times. And after the 62 weeks Messiah
shall be cut off, but not for Himself; and the people of the prince who
is to come Shall destroy the city & the sanctuary. The end of it
shall be with a flood & till the end of war desolations are
determined.
- 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!”
- Daniel 2:44
And in the days of these kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom
& the kingdom shall not be left to other people; it shall break in pieces
& consume all these kingdoms & it shall stand forever.
- 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 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 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: Although Revelation has many more
passages about Salvation being through Christ, The Book of Daniel speaks about the
Messiah-the prince to come and the kingdom God sets up that will last
forever and of restoring and rebuilding Jerusalem relating to the Messiah,
which is at the End of the World. ]
Description of God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
- Daniel 7:9 “Daniel
watched till thrones were put in place & the Ancient of Days was
seated; His garment was white as snow & the hair of His head was like
pure wool. His throne was a fiery flame, It’s wheels a burning
fire;”
- 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.”
- Daniel 7:13-14 “I,
Daniel, was watching in the night visions & behold, One like the Son
of Man, Coming with the clouds of heaven! He came to the Ancient of Days,
And they brought Him near before Him. Then to Him was given dominion &
glory & a kingdom, That all peoples, nations & languages should
serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion, Which shall not pass
away, And His kingdom the one Which shall not be destroyed.”
- 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;
- Daniel 7:10 “A
fiery stream issued & came forth from before Him [God]. A thousand
thousands ministered to Him; 10,000 x 10,000 stood before Him. The court
was seated & the books were opened.”
- 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.
- Daniel 9:25-26
Know therefore & understand That from the going forth of the commands.
To restore & build Jerusalem Until Messiah the Prince, There
shall be 7 weeks & 62 weeks; the street shall be built again & the
wall, Even in troublesome times. And after the 62 weeks Messiah
shall be cut off, but not for Himself; and the people of the prince who
is to come Shall destroy the city & the sanctuary. The end of it
shall be with a flood & till the end of war desolations are determined.
- 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
:Daniel refers to God as the Ancient of Days and the Messiah. They are both
similar although in Revelation, God is known as the Creator of Everything, the
First & the Last, the Alpha & the Omega, the Beginning & the End.
They are consistent in referring to God the Father, Son & Holy Spirit, although
they refer to different of the many names of God, but this is a preference of
respect not an inconsistency. ]
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.”
- Daniel 2:36-45 Daniel is telling King Nebuchadnezzar what his dream
means] “This is the dream. Now we will tell the interpretation of it
before the king. You, O king, are a king of kings. For the God of heaven
has given you a kingdom, power, strength & glory & wherever the
children of men dwell, or the beasts of the field & the birds of
heaven, He has given them into your hand & has made you ruler over
them all-you are the head of gold. After you shall arise another kingdom
inferior to yours; then another, a 3rd kingdom of bronze, which shall rule
over all the earth. The 4th kingdom shall be as strong as iron, inasmuch
as iron breaks in pieces & shatters everything & like iron
that crushes, that kingdom will break in pieces & crush all the
others. Whereas you saw the feet & toes, partly of potter’s clay &
partly of iron, the kingdom shall be divided yet the strength of the iron
shall be in it, just as you saw the iron mixed with ceramic clay. And as
the toes of the feet were partly of iron & partly of clay, so the
kingdom shall be partly strong & parly fragile. As you saw iron mixed
with ceramic clay, they will mingle with the seed of men; but they will
not adhere to one another, just as iron does not mix with clay. And in the
days of these kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom & the
kingdom shall not be left to other people; it shall break in pieces &
consume all these kingdoms & it shall stand forever. Inasmuch as you
saw that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands & that it
broke in pieces the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver & the
gold-the great God has made known to the king what will come to pass after
this. The dream is certain & its interpretation is sure.”
- 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.
- Daniel 7:23-27 “Thus he said [to Daniel]: ‘The 4th beast shall be A
4th kingdom on earth, Which shall be different from all the other kingdoms
& shall devour the whole earth, Trample it & break it in pieces.
The 10 horns are 10 kings Who shall arise from this kingdom. And another
shall rise after them: He shall be different from the 1st ones & shall
subdue 3 kings. He shall speak pompous words against the Most High, Shall
persecute the saints of the Most High & shall intend to change times
& law. Then the saints shall be given into his hand For a time
& times & half a time. But the court shall be seated &
they shall take away his dominion, to consume & destroy it forever.
Then the kingdom & dominion & the greatness of the kingdoms under
the whole heaven, Shall be given to the people, the saints of the Most
High. His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom & All dominions shall
serve & obey Him.’
- 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.”
- Daniel 8:15-26 Then it happened, when I, Daniel, had seen the
vision & was seeking the meaning, that suddenly there stood before me
1 having the appearance of a man. I heard a man’s voice between the banks
of the Ulai, who called & said, “Gabriel, make this man understand the
vision.” So he came near where I stood & when he came I was afraid
& fell on my face; but he said to me, “Understand, son of man, that the
vision refers to the time of the end.” Now, as he was speaking with
me, I was in a deep sleep with my face to the ground; but he touched me
& stood me upright. He said, “Look, I am making known to you what
shall happen in the latter time of the indignation; for at the
appointed time the end shall be. The ram which you saw, having the 2
horns-they are the kings of Media & Persia. The male goat is the
kingdom of Greece. The large horn that is between its eyes is the 1st
king. As for the broken horn & the 4 that stood up in its place, 4
kingdoms shall arise out of that nation, but not with its power. And in
the latter time of their kingdom, When the transgressors have reached
their fullness, A king shall arise, Having fierce features, Who
understands sinister schemes. His power shall be mighty, but not by his
own power; He shall destroy fearfully & shall prosper & thrive; He
shall destroy the mighty & also the holy people. Through his cunning
He shall cause deceit to prosper under his rule; and he shall exalt
himself in his heart. He shall destroy many in their prosperity. He shall
even rise against the Prince of princes; But he shall be broken without
human means. And the vision of the evenings & mornings which was told
is true; Therefore seal up the vision for it refers to many days in the
future.”
- 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.
- Daniel 9:22-27 He [Gabriel] informed me, Daniel & talked with
me & said, “O Daniel, I have now come forth to give you skill to
understand. At the beginning of your supplications the command went out
& I have come to tell you, for you are greatly beloved; therefore
consider the matter & understand the vision: 70 weeks are
determined For your people & for your holy city, To finish the
transgression, To make an end of sins, To make reconciliation for
iniquity, To bring in everlasting righteousness, To seal up vision &
prophecy & to anoint the Most Holy. Know therefore & understand
That from the going forth of the commands. To restore & build
Jerusalem Until Messiah the Prince, There shall be 7 weeks & 62 weeks;
the street shall be built again & the wall, Even in troublesome times.
And after the 62 weeks Messiah shall be cut off, but not for Himself; and
the people of the prince who is to come Shall destroy the city & the
sanctuary. The end of it shall be with a flood & till the end of war
desolations are determined. Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for
1 week; But in the middle of the week He shall bring an end to sacrifice
& offering. On the wing for abominations shall be one who makes
desolate. Even until the consummation, which Is poured out on the
desolate.”
- 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.”

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 6:6 [3rd
Seal] 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 6:8 [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.
- Daniel 11:1-21
[The man said to Daniel in a vision]“Also in the 1st year of Darius the
Mede, I, even I, stood up to confirm & strengthen him. “I will tell
you the truth: Behold, 3 more kings will arise in Persia & the 4th
shall be far richer than them all; by his strength, through his riches, he
shall stir up all against the realm of Greece. Then a mighty king shall
arise who shall rule with great dominion & do according to his will.
When he has arisen, his kingdom shall be broken up & divided toward
the 4 winds of heaven, but not among his posterity nor according to his
dominion with which he ruled; for his kingdom shall be uprooted, even for
others besides these. Also the king of the South shall become strong, as
well as one of his princes & he shall gain power over him & have
dominion. His dominion shall be a great dominion. And at the end of some
years they shall join forces, for the daughter of the king of the South
shall go to the king of the North to make an agreement; but she shall not
retain the power of her authority & neither he nor his authority shall
stand, but she shall be given up, with those who brought her & with
him who begot her & with him who strengthened her in those times. But
from a branch of her roots 1 shall arise in his place, who shall come with
an army, enter the fortress of the king of the North & deal with them
& prevail. He shall also carry their gods captive to Egypt, with their
princes & their precious articles of silver & gold & he shall
continue more years than the king of the North. Also the king of the North
shall come to the kingdom of the king of the South, but shall return to
his own land. However his sons shall stir up strife & assemble a
multitude of great forces & 1 shall certainly come & overwhelm
& pass through; then he shall return to his fortress & stir of
strife. The king of the South shall be moved with rage & go out &
fight with him, with the king of the North, who shall muster a great
multitude; but the multitude shall be given into the hand of his enemy.
When he has taken away the multitude, his heart will be lifted up & he
will cast down tens of thousands, but he will not prevail. For the king of
the North will return & muster a multitude greater than the former
& shall certainly come at the end of some years with a great army
& much equipment. Now in those times many shall rise up against the
king of the South. Also, violent men of your people shall exalt themselves
in fulfillment of the vision, but they shall fall. So, the king of the North
shall come & build a siege mound & take a fortified city & the
forces of the South shall not withstand him. Even his choice troops shall
have no strength to resist. But he who comes against him shall do according
to his own will & no one shall stand against him. He shall stand in
the Glorious Land with destruction in his power. But he who comes against
him shall do according to his own will & no one shall stand against them. He shall stand in the Glorious Land with destruction in his power.
He shall also set his face to enter with the strength of his whole kingdom
& upright ones with him; thus shall he do & he shall give him the
daughter of women to destroy it, but she shall not stand with him or be
for him. After this he shall turn his face to the coastlands & shall
take many. But a ruler shall bring the reproach against them to an end
& with reproach removed, he shall turn back on him. Then he shall turn
his face toward the fortress of his own land but he shall stumble &
fall & not be found. There shall arise in his place one who imposes
taxes on the glorious kingdom; but within a few days he shall be
destroyed, but not in anger or in battle. And in his place shall arise one
who imposes taxes on the glorious kingdom; but within a few days he shall
be destroyed, but not in anger or in battle. In his place shall arise a
vile person, to whom they will not give the honor of royalty; but he shall
come in peaceably & seize the kingdom by intrigue.
- 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”
- Daniel 11:22-35 [The man in linen further explained the vision to Daniel] “With the force of a flood they shall be swept away from before him & be broken & also the prince of the covenant. After the league is made with him he shall act deceitfully, for he shall come up & become strong with a small number of people. He shall enter peaceably, even into the richest places of the province & he shall do what his fathers have not done, nor his forefathers: he shall disperse among them the plunder, spoil & riches & he shall devise his plans against the strongholds, but only for a time. He shall stir up his power & his courage against the king of the South with a great army. The king of the South shall be stirred up to battle with a very great & mighty army: but he shall not stand, for they shall devise plans against him. Yes, those who eat of the portion of his delicacies shall destroy him; his army shall be swept away & many shall fall down slain. Both these king’s hearts shall be bent on evil & they shall not prosper, for the end will still be at the appointed time. While returning to his land with great riches, his heart shall be moved against the holy covenant; so he shall do damage & return to his own land, At the appointed time he shall return & go toward the South; but it shall not be like the former or the latter. For ships from Cyprus shall come against him; therefore he shall be grieved & return in rage against the holy covenant & do damage. So he shall return & show regard for those who forsake the holy covenant. And forces shall be mustered by him & they shall defile the sanctuary fortress: then they shall take away the daily sacrifices & place there the abomination of desolation. Those who do wickedly against the covenant he shall corrupt with flattery; but the people who know their God shall be strong & carry out great exploits. Those of the people who understand shall instruct many; yet for many days they shall fall by the sword & flame, by captivity and plundering. Now when they fall, they shall be aided with a little help; but many shall join with them by intrigue. Some of those of understanding shall fall, to refine them, purify them & make them white, until the time of the end; because it is still for the appointed time.

- [I think he does an excellent job of trying to explain the historical portions of the Book of Daniel. I figured with this link, you can understand more and can locate some of his other videos on The Book of Daniel and End of World Prophecy. He does a great job of explaining about the different wars, etc.]
- 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.
- Daniel 11:36-45
[The man in linen further explains the vision to Daniel] “Then the kings
shall do according to his own will: he shall exalt & magnify himself
above every god, shall speak blasphemies against the God of gods
& shall prosper till the wrath has been accomplished; for what has
been determined shall be done. “He shall regard neither the God of his
fathers nor the desire of women, nor regard any god; for he shall exalt
himself above them all. But in their place he shall honor a god of
fortresses & a god which his father did not know he shall honor with
gold & silver with precious stones & pleasant things. Thus he
shall act against the strongest fortresses with a foreign god, which he
shall acknowledge & advance its glory & he shall cause them to
rule over many & divide the land for gain. At the time of the end the
king of the South shall attack him & the king of the North shall come
against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, horsemen & with many
ships & he shall enter the countries, overwhelm them & pass
through. He shall also enter the Glorious Land & many countries shall
be overthrown; but these shall escape from his hand; Edom, Moab &
prominent people of Ammon. He shall stretch out his hand against the
countries & the land of Egypt shall not escape. He shall have power
over treasures of gold & silver & over all the precious things of
Egypt; also the Libyans & Ethiopians shall follow at his heels. But
news from the east & north shall trouble him; therefore he shall go
out with great fury to destroy & annihilate many. And he shall plant
the tents of his palace between the seas & the glorious holy mountain;
yet he shall come to his end & no one will help him.
- 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.
- Daniel 7:15-22 “I,
Daniel, was grieved in my spirit within my body & the visions of my
head troubled me. I came near to 1 of those who stood by & asked him
the truth of all this. He told me & made known to me the
interpretation of these things: ‘Those great beasts, which are 4, are 4
kings which arise out of the earth. But the saints of the Most High shall
receive the kingdom & possess the kingdom forever, even forever &
ever.’ “Then I wished to know the truth about the 4th beast, which was
different from all the others, exceedingly dreadful, with its teeth of
iron & its nails of bronze, which devoured, broke in pieces
& trampled the residue with its feet & the 10 horns that
were on its head & the other horn which came up, before which 3 fell,
namely, that horn which had eyes & a mouth which spoke pompous words,
whose appearance was greater than his fellows. I was watching & the
same horn was making war against the saints & prevailing against them
until the Ancient of Days came & judgment was made in favor of the
saints of the Most High & the time came for the saints to possess the
kingdom.”
- 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.
- Daniel 2:31-35
[Daniel is telling King Nebuchadnezzar’s dream to him] “You, O king, were
watching & behold, a great image! This great image, whose splendor was
excellent, stood before you & its form was awesome. This image’s head
was of fine gold, its chest & arms of silver, its belly & things
of bronze, its legs of iron, its feet part of iron & partly of clay.
You watched while a stone was cut out without hands, which struck the
image on its feet of iron & clay & broke them in pieces. Then the
iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver & the gold were crushed
together & became like chaff from the summer threshing floors; the
wind carried them away so that no trace of them was found. The stone that
struck the image became a great mountain & filled the whole earth.
- 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.
- Daniel 8:1-14 In
the 3rd year of the reign of King Bleshazzar a vision appeared to
me-Daniel-after the 1 that appeared to me the 1st time. I saw in the
vision & it so happened while I was looking, that I was in Shushan,
the citadel, which is in the province of Elam & I saw in the vision
that I was by the River Ulai. Then I, Daniel, lifted my eyes & saw
& there beside the river, was a ram which had 2 horns & the 2
horns were high; but 1 was higher than the other & the higher 1 came
up last. I saw the ram pushing westward, northward & southward, so
that no animal could withstand him; nor was there any that could deliver
from his hand, but he did according to his will & became great. As
Daniel was considering, suddenly a male goat came from the west, across the
surface of the whole earth, without touching the ground & the goat had
a notable horn between his eyes. Then he came to the ram that had 2 horns,
which I had seen standing beside the river & ran at him with furious
power. I saw him confronting the ram; he was moved with rage against him,
attacked the ram & broke his 2 horns. There was no power in the ram to
withstand him, but he cast him down to the ground & trampled him &
there was no one that could deliver the ram from his hand. Therefore the
male goat grew very great; but when he became strong, the large horn was
broken & in place of it 4 notable ones came up toward the 4 winds of
heaven. Out of 1 of them came the little horn which grew exceedingly great
toward the south, east & toward the Glorious Land. It grew up to the
host of heaven & it cast down some of the host & some of the stars
to the ground & trampled them. He even exalted himself as high as the
Prince of the host & by him the daily sacrifices were taken away &
the place of His sanctuary was cast down. Because of the transgression, an
army was given over to the horn to oppose the daily sacrifices & he
cast truth down to the ground. He did all this & prospered. Then
Daniel heard a holy one speaking & another holy one said to the
certain one who was speaking, “How long will the vision be, concerning the
daily sacrifices & the transgression of desolation, the giving of both
the sanctuary & the host to be trampled underfoot?” He said to Daniel,
“For 2,300 days; then the sanctuary will be cleansed.”
- 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. Michael & 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.
- Daniel 7:2-8
Daniel spoke saying, “I saw in my vision by night & behold the 4 winds
of heaven were stirring up the Great Sea. “And 4 great beasts came up from
the sea, each different from the other. The 1st was like a lion & had
eagle’s wings. He watched till its wings were plucked off & it was
lifted up from the earth & it [was] made to stand on 2 feet like a man
& a man’s heart was given to it. Suddenly another beast, a 2nd like a
bear. It was raised up on 1 side & had 3 ribs in his mouth between its
teeth. They said thus to it: ‘Arise, devour much flesh!’ After this Daniel
looked & there was another, like a leopard, which had on its back 4
wings of a bird. The beast also had 4 heads & dominion was given to
it. After this he saw in the night visions & behold a 4th beast,
dreadful & terrible, exceedingly strong. It had huge iron teeth; it was
devouring, breaking in pieces & trampling the residue with its feet.
It was different from all the beasts that were before it & had 10
horns. He was considering the horns & there was another horn, a little
one, coming up among them, before whom 3 of the 1st horns were plucked out
by the roots. There, in this horn, were eyes like the eyes of a man &
a mouth speaking pompous words.”
- 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.
- Daniel 7:11-12 “I,
Daniel, watched in then because of the sound of the pompous words which
the horn was speaking; I watched till the beast was slain & its body
destroyed & given to the burning flame. As for the rest of the beasts,
they had their dominion taken away, yet their lives were prolonged for a
season & a time.”
- 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.
- 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.”
- Rev 14:12-20 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.
- Daniel 12:1-13 “At
that time Michael shall stand up, The great prince who stands watch over
the sons of your people; And there shall be a time of trouble, Such as
never was since there was a nation, Even to that time. At that time
your people shall be delivered, Every one who is found written in the book.
Many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, Some to
everlasting life, Some to shame & everlasting contempt. Those who are
wise shall shine Like the brightness of the firmament, And those who turn
many to righteousness Like the stars forever & ever. But you, Daniel,
shut up the words, & seal the book until the time of the end; many
shall run to & fro & knowledge shall increase.
- 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.”
- Daniel 12:6-13 And
one said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the
river, “How long shall the fulfillment of these wonders be?” Then I,
Daniel, heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the
river, when he held up his right hand & his left hand to heaven &
swore by Him who lives forever, that it shall be for a time, times, and
half a time; and when the power of the holy people has been completely
shattered, all these things shall be finished. Although Daniel heard, he
did not understand. Then he said, “My lord, what shall be the end of these
things?” He said, “Go your way, Daniel, for the words are closed up &
sealed till the time of the end. Many shall be purified, made white &
refined, but the wicked shall do wickedly & none of the wicked shall
understand, but the wise shall understand. And from the time that the
daily sacrifice is taken away & the abomination of desolation is set
up, there shall be 1,290 days. “Blessed is he who waits & comes to
the 1,335 days. But you, go your way till the end for you shall rest &
will arise to your inheritance at the end of the days.’
- 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.
[The End of World Predictions Analysis follows this Analysis Note.]
Analysis Note: In analyzing these Bible passages for consistencies and
inconsistencies, it is important to realize the following.
- The Apostle John was specifically selected by God to share the
prophecy in The Revelation of Jesus Christ.
- This book of the Bible was focused on sharing the end of the world
prophecy, so that people would take heed and change their lives to be
aligned with faith in Jesus Christ, their Savior.
- Daniel
was specifically selected by God to share prophecy on a multitude of
things, some-current, some-soon, some-later, and some-the end of world
prophecy. The Book of Daniel primarily covered, but isn’t limited to the:
- The
End of the World Prophecy, interpreting the dreams of King Nebuchadnezzar
foretelling what was to happen and the dream of King Belshazzar,
Nebuchadnezzar’s son, in addition to Daniel’s helping the king as governor
to ensure that the king didn’t suffer any losses.
- The
Book of Daniel was focused on sharing a variety of information from God,
so that people would take heed and change their lives to be aligned with
faith in Jesus Christ, their Savior.
[It is my opinion, in that, The Revelation of Jesus
Christ is only focused on end of the world prophecy and the Book of Daniel
covers a wide range of topics, as noted above, it would be unreasonable to
expect the passages in the Book of Daniel to have the same level of
detail and the same amount of passages focused on End of the World Prophecy.
Additionally, I am only including the information from the Book of Daniel that
relates to the end of the world prophecy or significantly relates to it in some
way.]
[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 Daniel verses said (sometimes paraphrased) |
Basics of what these Revelation verses said (sometimes paraphrased) |
|
Daniel 7:1 In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel had a dream &
visions of his head while on his bed. Then he wrote down the dream telling
the main facts. |
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. |
|
Daniel 6:22-23 “My God sent His angel & shut the lion’s mouths, so that they have
not hurt me, because I was found innocent before Him & also, O king, I
have done no wrong before you.” Now the king was exceedingly glad for him
& commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was
taken up out of the den & no injury whatever was found on him, because he
believed in his God. |
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.” |
|
|
Daniel 7:13-14 “I, Daniel, was watching in the night visions & behold, One like
the Son of Man, Coming with the clouds of heaven! He came to the Ancient of
Days, And they brought Him near before Him. Then to Him was given dominion
& glory & a kingdom, That all peoples, nations & languages should
serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion, Which shall not pass
away, And His kingdom the one Which shall not be destroyed.” |
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.” |
|
|
Daniel 10:4-6 Now on the 24th day of the 1st month, as I, Daniel, was by the side of
the great river, that is, the Tigris, I lifted my eyes & looked
& behold, a certain man clothed in linen, whose waist was girded
with gold of Uphaz! His body was like beryl, his face like the appearance of
lightning, his eyes like torches of fire, his arms & his feet like
burnished bronze in color & the sound of his words like the voice of a
multitude. |
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.” |
|
|
Daniel 2:31-35 [Daniel is telling King Nebuchadnezzar’s dream to him] “You, O king,
were watching & behold, a great image! This great image, whose splendor
was excellent, stood before you & its form was awesome. This image’s head
was of fine gold, its chest & arms of silver, its belly & things of
bronze, its legs of iron, its feet part of iron & partly of clay. You
watched while a stone was cut out without hands, which struck the image on
its feet of iron & clay & broke them in pieces. Then the iron, the
clay, the bronze, the silver & the gold were crushed together &
became like chaff from the summer threshing floors; the wind carried them
away so that no trace of them was found. The stone that struck the image
became a great mountain & filled the whole earth. |
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.” |
|
Daniel 2:36-45 Danial is telling King Nebuchadnezzar what his dream means] “This is
the dream. Now we will tell the interpretation of it before the king. You, O
king, are a king of kings. For the God of heaven has given you a kingdom, power,
strength & glory & wherever the children of men dwell, or the beasts
of the field & the birds of heaven, He has given them into your hand
& has made you ruler over them all-you are the head of gold. After you
shall arise another kingdom inferior to yours; then another, a 3rd kingdom of
bronze, which shall rule over all the earth. The 4th kingdom shall be as
strong as iron, inasmuch as iron breaks in pieces & shatters
everything & like iron that crushes, that kingdom will break in
pieces & crush all the others. Whereas you saw the feet & toes,
partly of potter’s clay & partly of iron, the kingdom shall be divided
yet the strength of the iron shall be in it, just as you saw the iron mixed
with ceramic clay. And as the toes of the feet were partly of iron &
partly of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong & parly fragile. As
you saw iron mixed with ceramic clay, they will mingle with the seed of men;
but they will not adhere to one another, just as iron does not mix with clay.
And in the days of these kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom &
the kingdom shall not be left to other people; it shall break in pieces &
consume all these kingdoms & it shall stand forever. Inasmuch as you saw
that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands & that it broke
in pieces the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver & the gold-the great
God has made known to the king what will come to pass after this. The dream
is certain & its interpretation is sure.” |
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.” |
|
|
Daniel 7:9 “Daniel watched till thrones were put in place & the Ancient of
Days was seated; His garment was white as snow & the hair of His head was
like pure wool. His throne was a fiery flame, It’s wheels a burning
fire; |
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.” |
|
|
Daniel 7:10 “A fiery stream issued & came forth from before Him [God]. A thousand
thousands ministered to Him; 10,000 x 10,000 stood before Him. The court was
seated & the books were opened. |
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. |

Daniel 11:1-21 [The man said to Daniel in a vision]“Also in the 1st year of Darius
the Mede, I, even I, stood up to confirm & strengthen him. “I will tell
you the truth: Behold, 3 more kings will arise in Persia & the 4th shall
be far richer than them all; by his strength, through his riches, he shall
stir up all against the realm of Greece. Then a mighty king shall arise who
shall rule with great dominion & do according to his will. When he has
arisen, his kingdom shall be broken up & divided toward the 4 winds of
heaven, but not among his posterity nor according to his dominion with which
he ruled; for his kingdom shall be uprooted, even for others besides these.
Also the king of the South shall become strong, as well as one of his princes
& he shall gain power over him & have dominion. His dominion shall be
a great dominion. And at the end of some years they shall join forces, for
the daughter of the king of the South shall go to the king of the North to
make an agreement; but she shall not retain the power of her authority &
neither he nor his authority shall stand, but she shall be given up, with
those who brought her & with him who begot her & with him who
strengthened her in those times. But from a branch of her roots 1 shall arise
in his place, who shall come with an army, enter the fortress of the king of
the North & deal with them & prevail. He shall also carry their gods
captive to Egypt, with their princes & their precious articles of silver
& gold & he shall continue more years than the king of the North.
Also the king of the North shall come to the kingdom of the king of the
South, but shall return to his own land. However his sons shall stir up
strife & assemble a multitude of great forces & 1 shall certainly
come & overwhelm & pass through; then he shall return to his fortress
& stir of strife. The king of the South shall be moved with rage & go
out & fight with him, with the king of the North, who shall muster a great
multitude; but the multitude shall be given into the hand of his enemy. When
he has taken away the multitude, his heart will be lifted up & he will
cast down tens of thousands, but he will not prevail. For the king of the
North will return & muster a multitude greater than the former &
shall certainly come at the end of some years with a great army & much
equipment. Now in those times many shall rise up against the king of the
South. Also, violent men of your people shall exalt themselves in fulfillment
of the vision, but they shall fall. So, the king of the North shall come
& build a siege mound & take a fortified city & the forces of the
South shall not withstand him. Even his choice troops shall have no strength
to resist. But he who comes against him shall do according to his own will
& no one shall stand against him. He shall stand in the Glorious Land
with destruction in his power. But he who comes against him shall do
according to his own will & no one shall stand against thim. He shall
stand in the Glorious Land with destruction in his power. He shall also set
his face to enter with the strength of his whole kingdom & upright ones
with him; thus shall he do & he shall give him the daughter of women to
destroy it, but she shall not stand with him or be for him. After this he
shall turn his face to the coastlands & shall take many. But a ruler
shall bring the reproach against them to an end & with reproach removed,
he shall turn back on him. Then he shall turn his face toward the fortress of
his own land but he shall stumble & fall & not be found. There shall
arise in his place one who imposes taxes on the glorious kingdom; but within
a few days he shall be destroyed, but not in anger or in battle. And in his
place shall arise one who imposes taxes on the glorious kingdom; but within a
few days he shall be destroyed, but not in anger or in battle. In his place
shall arise a vile person, to whom they will not give the honor of royalty;
but he shall come in peaceably & seize the kingdom by
intrigue. |
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. |
|
|
Daniel 12:6-13 And one said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of
the river, “How long shall the fulfillment of these wonders be?” Then I,
Daniel, heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the
river, when he held up his right hand & his left hand to heaven &
swore by Him who lives forever, that it shall be for a time, times, and
half a time; and when the power of the holy people has been completely
shattered, all these things shall be finished. Although Daniel heard, he did
not understand. Then he said, “My lord, what shall be the end of these
things?” He said, “Go your way, Daniel, for the words are closed up &
sealed till the time of the end. Many shall be purified, made white &
refined, but the wicked shall do wickedly & none of the wicked shall
understand, but the wise shall understand. And from the time that the
daily sacrifice is taken away & the abomination of desolation is set up,
there shall be 1,290 days. “Blessed is he who waits & comes to the
1,335 days. But you, go your way till the end for you shall rest & will
arise to your inheritance at the end of the days.’ |
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. |
|
|
Daniel 8:1-14 In the 3rd year of the reign of King Bleshazzar a vision appeared to
me-Daniel-after the 1 that appeared to me the 1st time. I saw in the vision
& it so happened while I was looking, that I was in Shushan, the citadel,
which is in the province of Elam & I saw in the vision that I was by the
River Ulai. Then I, Daniel, lifted my eyes & saw & there beside the
river, was a ram which had 2 horns & the 2 horns were high; but 1 was
higher than the other & the higher 1 came up last. I saw the ram pushing
westward, northward & southward, so that no animal could withstand him;
nor was there any that could deliver from his hand, but he did according to
his will & became great. As Daniel was considering, suddenly a male goat
came from the west, across the surface of the whole earth, without touching
the ground & the goat had a notable horn between his eyes. Then he came
to the ram that had 2 horns, which I had seen standing beside the river &
ran at him with furious power. I saw him confronting the ram; he was moved
with rage against him, attacked the ram & broke his 2 horns. There was no
power in the ram to withstand him, but he cast him down to the ground &
trampled him & there was no one that could deliver the ram from his hand.
Therefore the male goat grew very great; but when he became strong, the large
horn was broken & in place of it 4 notable ones came up toward the 4
winds of heaven. Out of 1 of them came the little horn which grew exceedingly
great toward the south, east & toward the Glorious Land. It grew up to
the host of heaven & it cast down some of the host & some of the
stars to the ground & trampled them. He even exalted himself as high as
the Prince of the host & by him the daily sacrifices were taken away
& the place of His sanctuary was cast down. Because of the transgression,
an army was given over to the horn to oppose the daily sacrifices & he
cast truth down to the ground. He did all this & prospered. Then Daniel
heard a holy one speaking & another holy one said to the certain one who
was speaking, “How long will the vision be, concerning the daily sacrifices
& the transgression of desolation, the giving of both the sanctuary &
the host to be trampled underfoot?” He said to Daniel, “For 2,300 days; then
the sanctuary will be cleansed.” |
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. |
|
Daniel 7:2-8 Daniel spoke saying, “I saw in my vision by night & behold the 4
winds of heaven were stirring up the Great Sea. “And 4 great beasts came up
from the sea, each different from the other. The 1st was like a lion &
had eagle’s wings. He watched till its wings were plucked off & it was
lifted up from the earth & it [was] made to stand on 2 feet like a man
& a man’s heart was given to it. Suddenly another beast, a 2nd like a
bear. It was raised up on 1 side & had 3 ribs in his mouth between its
teeth. They said thus to it: ‘Arise, devour much flesh!’ After this Daniel
looked & there was another, like a leopard, which had on its back 4 wings
of a bird. The beast also had 4 heads & dominion was given to it. After
this he saw in the night visions & behold a 4th beast, dreadful &
terrible, exceedingly strong. It had huge iron teeth; it was devouring,
breaking in pieces & trampling the residue with its feet. It was different
from all the beasts that were before it & had 10 horns. He was
considering the horns & there was another horn, a little one, coming up
among them, before whom 3 of the 1st horns were plucked out by the roots.
There, in this horn, were eyes like the eyes of a man & a mouth speaking
pompous words.” |
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. |
|
|
Daniel 9:22-27 He [Gabriel] informed me, Daniel & talked with me & said, “O
Daniel, I have now come forth to give you skill to understand. At the
beginning of your supplications the command went out & I have come to
tell you, for you are greatly beloved; therefore consider the matter &
understand the vision: 70 weeks are determined For your people &
for your holy city, To finish the transgression, To make an end of sins, To
make reconciliation for iniquity, To bring in everlasting righteousness, To
seal up vision & prophecy & to anoint the Most Holy. Know therefore
& understand That from the going forth of the commands. To restore &
build Jerusalem Until Messiah the Prince, There shall be 7 weeks & 62
weeks; the street shall be built again & the wall, Even in troublesome
times. And after the 62 weeks Messiah shall be cut off, but not for Himself;
and the people of the prince who is to come Shall destroy the city & the
sanctuary. The end of it shall be with a flood & till the end of war
desolations are determined. Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for 1
week; But in the middle of the week He shall bring an end to sacrifice &
offerening. On the wing for abominations shall be one who makes desolate.
Even until the consummation, which Is poured out on the desolate.” |
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 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. |
|
|
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. |
|
|
Daniel 7:15-22 “I, Daniel, was grieved in my spirit within my body & the visions
of my head troubled me. I came near to 1 of those who stood by & asked
him the truth of all this. He told me & made known to me the
interpretation of these things: ‘Those great beasts, which are 4, are 4 kings
which arise out of the earth. But the saints of the Most High shall receive
the kingdom & possess the kingdom forever, even forever & ever.’
“Then I wished to know the truth about the 4th beast, which was different
from all the others, exceedingly dreadful, with its teeth of iron & its
nails of bronze, which devoured, broke in pieces & trampled the
residue with its feet & the 10 horns that were on its head & the
other horn which came up, before which 3 fell, namely, that horn which had eyes
& a mouth which spoke pompous words, whose appearance was greater than
his fellows. I was watching & the same horn was making war against the
saints & prevailing against them until the Ancient of Days came &
judgment was made in favor of the saints of the Most High & the time came
for the saints to possess the kingdom.” |
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. |
|
Daniel 7:23-27 “Thus he said [to Daniel]: ‘The 4th beast shall be A 4th kingdom on
earth, Which shall be different from all the other kingdoms & shall
devour the whole earth, Trample it & break it in pieces. The 10 horns are
10 kings Who shall arise from this kingdom. And another shall rise after
them: He shall be different from the 1st ones & shall subdue 3 kings. He
shall speak pompous words against the Most High, Shall persecute the saints
of the Most High & shall intend to change times & law. Then the
saints shall be given into his hand For a time & times & half a
time. But the court shall be seated & they shall take away his dominion,
to consume & destroy it forever. Then the kingdom & dominion &
the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven, Shall be given to the
people, the saints of the Most High. His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom
& All dominions shall serve & obey Him.’ |
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.” |
|
|
Daniel 8:15-26 Then it happened, when I, Daniel, had seen the vision & was
seeking the meaning, that suddenly there stood before me 1 having the
appearance of a man. I heard a man’s voice between the banks of the Ulai, who
called & said, “Gabriel, make this man understand the vision.” So he came
near where I stood & when he came I was afraid & fell on my face; but
he said to me, “Understand, son of man, that the vision refers to the time
of the end.” Now, as he was speaking with me, I was in a deep sleep with
my face to the ground; but he touched me & stood me upright. He said,
“Look, I am making known to you what shall happen in the latter time of the
indignation; for at the appointed time the end shall be. The ram which
you saw, having the 2 horns-they are the kings of Media & Persia. The
male goat is the kingdom of Greece. The large horn that is between its eyes
is the 1st king. As for the broken horn & the 4 that stood up in its
place, 4 kingdoms shall arise out of that nation, but not with its power. And
in the latter time of their kingdom, When the transgressors have reached
their fullness, A king shall arise, Having fierce features, Who understands
sinister schemes. His power shall be mighty, but not by his own power; He
shall destroy fearfully & shall prosper & thrive; He shall destroy
the mighty & also the holy people. Through his cunning He shall cause
deceit to prosper under his rule; and he shall exalt himself in his heart. He
shall destroy many in their prosperity. He shall even rise against the Prince
of princes; But he shall be broken without human means. And the vision of the
evenings & mornings which was told is true; Therefore seal up the vision
for it refers to many days in the future.” |
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.” |

|
Daniel 11:22-35 [The man in linen further explained the vision to Daniel] “With the
force of a flood they shall be swept away from before him & be broken
& also the prince of the covenant. After the league is made with him he
shall act deceitfully, for he shall come up & become strong with a small
number of people. He shall enter peaceably, even into the richest places of
the province & he shall do what his fathers have not done, nor his
forefathers: he shall disperse among them the plunder, spoil & riches
& he shall devise his plans against the strongholds, but only for a time.
He shall stir up his power & his courage against the king of the South
with a great army. The king of the South shall be stirred up to battle with a
very great & mighty army: but he shall not stand, for they shall devise
plans against him. Yes, those who eat of the portion of his delicacies shall
destroy him; his army shall be swept away & many shall fall down slain.
Both these king’s hearts shall be bent on evil & they shall not prosper,
for the end will still be at the appointed time. While returning to his
land with great riches, his heart shall be moved against the holy covenant;
so he shall do damage & return to his own land, At the appointed time he
shall return & go toward the South; but it shall not be like the former
or the latter. For ships from Cyprus shall come against him; therefore he
shall be grieved & return in rage against the holy covenant &
do damage. So he shall return & show regard for those who forsake the
holy covenant. And forces shall be mustered by him & they shall
defile the sanctuary fortress: then they shall take away the daily
sacrifices & place there the abomination of desolation. Those who do
wickedly against the covenant he shall corrupt with flattery; but the
people who know their God shall be strong & carry out great exploits.
Those of the people who understand shall instruct many; yet for many days
they shall fall by the sword & flame, by captivity and plundering. Now
when they fall, they shall be aided with a little help; but many shall join
with them by intrigue. Some of those of understanding shall fall, to
refine them, purify them & make them white, until the time of the end;
because it is still for the appointed time. |
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. |
|
Daniel 7:11-12 “I, Daniel, watched then because of the sound of the pompous words
which the horn was speaking; I watched till the beast was slain & its
body destroyed & given to the burning flame. As for the rest of the
beasts, they had their dominion taken away, yet their lives were prolonged
for a season & a time.” |
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. |
|
Daniel 11:36-45 [The man in linen further explains the vision to Daniel] “Then the
kings shall do according to his own will: he shall exalt & magnify himself
above every god, shall speak blasphemies against the God of gods &
shall prosper till the wrath has been accomplished; for what has been
determined shall be done. “He shall regard neither the God of his fathers nor
the desire of women, nor regard any god; for he shall exalt himself above
them all. But in their place he shall honor a god of fortresses & a
god which his father did not know he shall honor with gold & silver with
precious stones & pleasant things. Thus he shall act against the
strongest fortresses with a foreign god, which he shall acknowledge &
advance its glory & he shall cause them to rule over many & divide
the land for gain. At the time of the end the king of the South shall attack
him & the king of the North shall come against him like a whirlwind, with
chariots, horsemen & with many ships & he shall enter the countries,
overwhelm them & pass through. He shall also enter the Glorious Land
& many countries shall be overthrown; but these shall escape from his
hand; Edom, Moab & prominent people of Ammon. He shall stretch out his
hand against the countries & the land of Egypt shall not escape. He shall
have power over treasures of gold & silver & over all the precious
things of Egypt; also the Libyans & Ethiopians shall follow at his heels.
But news from the east & north shall trouble him; therefore he shall go
out with great fury to destroy & annihilate many. And he shall plant the
tents of his palace between the seas & the glorious holy mountain; yet he
shall come to his end & no one will help him. |
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. |
|
Daniel 12:1-13 “At that time Michael shall stand up, The great prince who stands
watch over the sons of your people; And there shall be a time of trouble,
Such as never was since there was a nation, Even to that time. At that
time your people shall be delivered, Every one who is found written in the
book. Many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, Some
to everlasting life, Some to shame & everlasting contempt. Those who are
wise shall shine Like the brightness of the firmament, And those who turn
many to righteousness Like the stars forever & ever. But you, Daniel,
shut up the words, & seal the book until the time of the end; many shall
run to & fro & knowledge shall increase. |
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 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 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. |
