There are people who play a “Shell Game” with Christians or those trying to find out more about the Christian faith. They use Faulty Logic to divert their focus from Biblical Proof and eyewitness accounts that Christ is the Son of God and make a faulty point to confuse them. They might say things such as:

The Bible says Jesus Christ Is the Son of God, but the Bible has inconsistencies, which they call lies.

This is a False Analogy, because the inconsistencies in the Bible are generally related to wording and writing style which doesn't invalidate the truthfulness of the Bible or that Jesus Christ is the Son of God!. On top of that, these people try to make Christians feel foolish for ever believing the Bible or that Jesus Christ Is the Son of God. Don’t fall prey to their Shell Game!"

The book of Ezekiel End of the World Prophecies Compared with Those in The Revelation of Jesus Christ

The Book of Ezekiel 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 added another blog: End of World Bible Prophecy at https://EndOfWorldBibleProphecy.blogspot.com/ 

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

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

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

After prayerful contemplation of ways to share this information, I will have Topics and possibly subtopics, and will put both the verses from Ezekiel and Revelation that relate to that topic. There may be some times that the verses may be used more than once, because they also relate to another topic. I will put the passages from Revelation [Rev] in an orangish font. The Book of Ezekiel 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.

Analysis

Background Information

  • Ezekiel 1:1 It came to pass in the 30th year, in the 4th month on the 5th day of the month, as Ezekiel was among the captives by the River Chebar, that the heavens were opened and I saw visions of God. 
  • Ezekiel 1:3 The word of the Lord came expressly to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the River Chebar; and the hand of the Lord was upon him there.
  • Rev 1:1-3 This is the Revelation of Jesus Christ which God gave Him to show His servants things that must shortly take place. He sent & signified by His angel to His servant John, who bore witness of the word of God, & to the testimony of Jesus Christ, to all things that he [John] saw. Blessed is he who reads & those who hear the words of this prophecy,& keep those things which are written in it; for the time is near. 
  • Rev 1:9 John, brother & companion in tribulation & kingdom & patience of Jesus Christ & was on the island of Patmos for the word of God & for the testimony of Jesus Christ. 

 

[Background Information Analysis: Both Ezekiel and the Apostle John were chosen by God who showed them special visions He wanted them to share with people, which is consistent. It turns out that Ezekiel was with the captives and John was exiled on the Island of Patmos for his faith, which is very consistent, but not significant. The reason is two-fold. One, God uses other prophets like Isaiah, who wasn’t imprisoned to share visions with His people, so that’s not necessarily a significant detail. Two, it’s not a significant detail in that it doesn’t really have anything to do with the End of World Prophecy that is being researched, although it is interesting background information!]

Important Information

  • Ezekiel 2:1-7 He [God the Father/Jesus/Spirit] said to Ezekiel, “Son of man stand on your feet & I will speak to you.” Then the Spirit entered him when He [God] spoke to him [Ezekiel]. He [God] said to Ezekiel, “I am sending you to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that has rebelled against Me; they & their fathers have transgressed against Me to this very day. They are impudent & stubborn children. I am sending you to them & you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God.’ “As for them, whether they hear or whether they refuse-for they are a rebellious house--yet they will know that a prophet has been among them. You, son of man, do not be afraid of them nor be afraid of their words, though briers & thorns are with you & you dwell among scorpions. You shall speak My words to them, whether they hear or whether they refuse, for they are rebellious. 
  • Ezekiel 2:8-10 You, son of man, hear what I say to you. Do not be rebellious like that rebellious house; open your mouth & eat what I give you.” When Ezekiel looked, there was a hand stretched out to him & behold, a scroll of a book was in it. Then He [God] spread it before Ezekiel & there was writing on the inside & on the outside & written on it were lamentations & mourning & woe.
  • 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. 
  • Ezekiel 3:10-11 Moreover He [God] said to Ezekiel, “Son of man, receive into your heart all My words that I speak to you & hear with your ears. And go, get to the captives, to the children of your people & speak to them & tell them, ‘Thus says the Lord God,” whether they hear, or whether they refuse.
  • 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.”
  • Ezekiel 3:1-7 Moreover He [God] said to Ezekiel, “Son of man, eat what you find; eat this scroll & go, speak to the house of Israel.” So Ezekiel opened his mouth & He [God] caused him to eat that scroll. He [God] said to him, “Son of man, feed your belly & fill your stomach with this scroll that I give you.” So Ezekiel ate & it was in his mouth like honey in sweetness. Then He [God] said to Ezekiel, “Son of man, go to the house of Israel & speak My words to them. For you are not sent to a people of unfamiliar speech & of hard language, but to the house of Israel, not to many people of unfamiliar speech & hard language, whose words you cannot understand. Surely, had I sent you to them, they would have listened to you. But the house of Israel will not listen to you, because they will not listen to Me; for all the house of Israel are impudent & hard-hearted. 
  • Rev 10:8-11 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 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.
  • Ezekiel 3:16-21 Now it came to pass at the end of 7 days that the word of the Lord came to Ezekiel, saying, “Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; therefore hear a word from My mouth & give them warning from Me: “When I say to the wicked, “You shall surely die,’ & you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life, that same wicked man shall die in his iniquity: but his blood I will require at your hand. Yet, if you warn the wicked & he does not turn from his wickedness, nor his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul. Again when a righteous man turns from his righteousness & commits iniquity & I lay a stumbling block before him, he shall die; because you did not give him warning, he shall die in his sin & his righteousness which he has done shall not be remembered: but his blood I will require at your hand. Nevertheless if you warn the righteous man that the righteous should not sin & he does not sin, he shall surely live because he took warning; also you will have delivered your soul.”
  • 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 the Books of Ezekiel & Revelation are consistent in that God wanted both the Apostle John & Ezekiel to share information to encourage people to change from their evil ways, so that they might have salvation. The Book of Ezekiel is focused on sharing God’s information to save current generations, of his time, from eminent destruction, which has an eternal consequence. Revelation is focused on the Apostle John sharing God’s information to save current & future generations from End of World destruction, which has an eternal consequence. Are these inconsistencies? Not at all. They are very consistent down to the point that in Revelation the Apostle John was asked to eat the scrolls that were sweet in his mouth, but bitter in his stomach, as was Ezekiel.]

Salvation through Jesus

  • Rev 1:7-8 He [Christ] is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him. all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. Amen. “I am the Alpha & the Omega, the Beginning & the End,” says the Lord, “who is & who was & who is to come, the Almighty.” 
  • Rev 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.”
  • Ezekiel 34:15-16 “I will feed My flock & I will make them lie down,” says the Lord God. “I will seek what was lost & bring back what was driven away, bind up the broken & strengthen what was sick; but I will destroy the fat & the strong & feed them in judgment.”
  • 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,

  • Ezekiel 34:20-22 ”Therefore thus says the Lord God to them: “Behold, I Myself will judge between the fat & the lean sheep. Because you have pushed with side & shoulder, butted all the weak ones with your horns & scattered them abroad, therefore I will save My flock & they shall no longer be a prey & I will judge between sheep and sheep. 
  •  Rev 5:11-12 Then John heard the voice of many angels, living creatures & elders around the throne & the number of them was 10,000 x 10,000 + 1,000’s +1,000’s saying with a loud voice: “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain To receive power & riches & wisdom & strength & honor & glory & blessing!”
  • Rev 7:9-12 After these, John saw a great multitude which no one could number of all nations, tribes, peoples & tongues, standing before the throne & before the Lamb clothed with white robes & palm branches in their hands. They were crying with a loud voice saying, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne & to the Lamb!” All the angels stood around the throne & the elders & 4 Living Creatures & fell on their faces before the throne & worshiped God saying, “Amen! Blessing & glory & wisdom, Thanksgiving & honor & power & might, Be to our God forever & ever. Amen”
  • Rev 2:16-17 Repent, or else I will come to you quickly & will fight against them with the sword of My mouth. The Spirit says to the churches: to him who overcomes, I will give some of the hidden manna to eat & I will give them a white stone, & on the stone a new name written which no one knows except him who receives it.” 
  • Rev 2:25-29 But hold fast what you have till I come. “And He who overcomes & sees My works until the end, to him I will give power over the nations-’He shall rule them with a rod of iron; They shall be dashed to pieces like the potter’s vessels, as I also have received from My Father; & I will give him the morning star. “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”
  • Rev 3:7-8 John writes to the church of Philadelphia for the Holy Spirit, “These things says He who is holy, He who is true. He who has the key of David, He who opens & no one shuts, & shuts & no one opens.” I [Jesus] know your works, I set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word & have not denied My name.”
  • Rev 3:10-13 “Because you have kept My command to persevere. I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth. Behold, I am coming quickly! Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown. He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God & he shall go out no more. I will write on him the name of My God & the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which will come down out of heaven from My God. I will write on him My new name. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”
  • Rev 3:19-22 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous & repent. Behold I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice & opens the door, I will come in to him & dine with him & he with Me. To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I, also overcame & sat down with My Father on His throne. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”
  • Rev 2:8 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 there are a wealth of passages about salvation through Jesus in Revelation, there were only two passages in Ezekiel that related to Him saying He will save His flock. Is it significant that there are only two passages in the Book of Ezekiel? No, it isn’t. Sure, it would have been nice to have more passages, since it’s a significant topic, but two is enough.]

About Heaven

 

  • Ezekiel 10:2-5 Then He [God] spoke to the man clothed with linen & said, “Go in among the wheels, under the cherub, fill your hands with coals of fire from among the cherubim & scatter them over the city.” He went in as I watched. Now the cherubim were standing on the south side of the temple when the man went in & the cloud filled the inner court. Then the glory of the Lord went up from the cherub & paused over the threshold of the temple & the house was filled with the cloud & the court was full of brightness of the Lord's glory.  The sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard even in the outer court, like the voice of Almighty God when He speaks.
  • 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.
  • Ezekiel 1:22 The likeness of the firmament above the heads of the Living Creatures was like the color of an awesome crystal, stretched out over their heads.
  • 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.
  • Ezekiel 1: 25-26 A voice came from above the firmament that was over [the heads of the 4 Living Creatures]; whenever they stood, they let down their wings. Above the firmament over their heads was the likeness of a throne, in appearance like a sapphire stone; on the likeness of the throne was a likeness with the appearance of a man high above it. 
  • Rev 3:4-6 I have a few names even in Sardis who have not defiled their garments; & they shall walk with Me in white, because they are worthy. He who overcomes will be clothed in white garments & I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life, but will confess his name before My Father & before His angels. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
  • Ezekiel 10:1 Ezekiel looked & there in the firmament that was above the head of the cherubim, there appeared something like a sapphire stone, having the appearance of the likeness of a throne.
  • 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.
  • Ezekiel 40:1-5 In the 25th year of our captivity, at the beginning of the year, on the 10th day of the month, in the 14th year after the city was captured, on the very same day the hand of the Lord was upon Ezekiel & He took him there. In the visions of God He took him into the land of Israel & set him on a very high mountain; on it toward the south was something like the structure of a city. He took him there & behold, there was a man whose appearance was like the appearance of bronze. He had a line of flax & a measuring rod in his hand & he stood in the gateway. The man said to Ezekiel, “Son of man, look with your eyes & hear with your ears & fix your mind on everything I show you; for you were brought here so that I might show them to you. Declare to the house of Israel everything you see.” Now there was a wall all around the outside of the temple. In the man’s hand was a measuring rod 6 cubits long, each being a cubit & a handbreadth & he measured the width of the wall structure, one rod & the height one rod, etc. [There are 4 pages giving the dimensions, so I cut it off here.]
  • 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.”
  • Ezekiel 47:1-5 Then he [the angel] brought Ezekiel back to the door of the temple & there was water, flowing from under the threshold of the temple toward the east, the water was flowing from under the right side of the temple south of the altar. He brought me out by the way of the north gate & led me around on the outside to the outer gateway that faces east & there was water running, out on the right side. And when the man went out to the east with the line in his hand, he measured 1,000 cubits & he brought Ezekiel through the waters; the water came up to his ankles. Again he measured 1,000 & brought him through the waters: the water came up to his knees. Again he measured 1,000 & brought Ezekiel through; the water came up to his waist. Again he measured 1,000 & it was a river that he could not cross; for the water was too deep, water in which one must swim, a river that could not be crossed. 
  • Rev 3:10-13 Because you have kept My command to persevere. I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.Behold, I am coming quickly! Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown. He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God & he shall go out no more. I will write on him the name of My God & the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which will come down out of heaven from My God. I will write on him My new name. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”
  • Rev 7:15-17 Therefore they are before the throne of God & serve Him day & night in His temple. He who sits on the throne will dwell among them . They shall neither hunger nor thirst anymore. The sun shall not strike them nor any heat for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd them & lead them to living fountains of waters. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.” 
  • Ezekiel 34:15-16 “I will feed My flock & I will make them lie down,” says the Lord God. “I will seek what was lost & bring back what was driven away, bind up the broken & strengthen what was sick; but I will destroy the fat & the strong & feed them in judgment.”
  • Rev 11:19 Then the temple of God was opened in heaven & the ark of His covenant was seen in His temple. There were lightnings, noises, thunderings, an earthquake & great hail.
  • 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

 

[About Heaven Analysis: Both the Book of Ezekiel and Revelation are consistent in describing heaven.]

Description of Heavenly Beings

Living Creatures

  • Ezekiel 1:4-21 Then Ezekiel looked & behold a whirlwind was coming out of the north, a great cloud with raging fire engulfing itself; & brightness was all around it & radiating out of its midst like the color of amber, out of the midst of the fire. Also from within it came the likeness of 4 Living Creatures. They had the likeness of a man. Each one had 4 faces & each had 4 wings. Their legs were straight & the soles of their feet were like the soles of calves’ feet. They sparkled like the color of burnished bronze. The hands of a man were under their wings on their 4 sides & each of the 4 had faces & wings. Their wings touched one another. The creatures did not turn when they went, but each one went straight forward. As for the likeness of their faces, each had the face of a man, a face of a lion on the right side, each had the face of an ox on the left side & each had the face of an eagle. Their wings stretched upward; 2 wings of each one touched one another & 2 covered their bodies. Each one went straight forward; they went wherever the spirit wanted to go & they did not turn when they went. As for the likeness of the Living Creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, like the appearance of torches going back & forth among the Living Creatures. The fire was bright & out of the fire went lightning. The Living Creatures ran back & forth, in appearance like a flash of lightning. As he looked at the Living Creatures , a wheel was on the earth beside each Living Creature with its 4 faces. The appearance of the wheels & their workings was like the color of beryl & all 4 had the same likeness. The appearance of their workings was, as it were, a wheel in the middle of a wheel. When they moved, they went toward any one of 4 directions, they did not turn aside when they went. As for their rims [I think of the wheels], they were so high they were awesome & their rims were full of eyes, all around the 4 of them. When the Living Creatures went, the wheels went beside them & when the Living Creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up. Wherever the spirit wanted to go, they went, because there the spirit went & the wheels were lifted together with them, for the spirit of the Living Creatures was in the wheels. 
  • Rev 4:6 Before the throne there was a sea of glass & in the midst of the throne & around about the throne, were 4 living creatures full of eyes in front & in back.
  • Ezekiel 1:23 And under the firmament their wings spread out straight, one toward another. Each one had 2 which covered one side & each one had 2 which covered the other side of the body.
  • 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.
  • Ezekiel 1:24 When they [Living Creatures] went, Ezekiel heard the noise of many waters, like the voice of the Almighty, a tumult like the noise of an army: when they stood still, they let down their wings. 
  •  Rev 5:11-12 Then John heard the voice of many angels, living creatures & elders around the throne & the number of them was 10,000 x 10,000 + 1,000’s +1,000’s saying with a loud voice: “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain To receive power & riches & wisdom & strength & honor & glory & blessing!”

 

[Living Creature Analysis: This was so amazing! Ezekiel includes so much detailed information about the 4 Living Creatures! The information in Revelation is consistent with the Book of Ezekiel: they had 4 faces, one was of a man, one was of a lion, one was of a calf/ox, and one was like a flying eagle. Revelation said that the Living Creatures were full of eyes in front & in back. Ezekiel describes their wheels & rims that were of full of eyes all around the 4 of them. Also, both books of the Bible are consistent in the wings of the 4 Living Creatures, but Ezekiel adds much more detailed information about how they moved, etc.]

Angel Information

  • 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.
  • Ezekiel 10:1 Ezekiel looked & there in the firmament that was above the head of the cherubim, there appeared something like a sapphire stone, having the appearance of the likeness of a throne.
  •  Rev 5:2 Then he saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll & to loose its seals?”
  • Ezekiel 9:3 Now the glory of the God of Israel had gone up from the cherub, where it had been, to the threshold of the temple. And He called to the man clothed with linen, who had the writer’s inkhorn at his side. 
  •  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!”
  • Ezekiel 10:2-5 Then He [God] spoke to the man clothed with linen & said, “Go in among the wheels, under the cherub, fill your hands with coals of fire from among the cherubim & scatter them over the city.” He went in as I watched. Now the cherubim were standing on the south side of the temple when the man went in & the cloud filled the inner court. Then the glory of the Lord went up from the cherub & paused over the threshold of the temple & the house was filled with the cloud & the court was full of brightness of the Lord's glory. The sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard even in the outer court, like the voice of Almighty God when He speaks.
  • Rev 7:1  After these things, John saw 4 angels standing at the 4 corners of the earth holding the 4 winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, sea or any tree.
  • Rev 22:8-9 Now I, John, saw & heard these things & fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who showed him these things. He said to me, “See that you do not do that for I am your fellow servants & of your brethren the prophets & of those who keep the words of this book. Worship God.” 
  • Ezekiel 10:6-22 Then it happened, when He [God] commanded the man clothed in linen, saying, “Take fire from among the wheels, from among the cherubim,” that he went in & stood beside the wheels. The cherub stretched out his hand from among the cherubim to the fire & took some of it & put it into the hands of the man clothed with linen, who took it & went out. The cherubim appeared to have the form of a man’s hand under their wings. When I looked, there were 4 wheels by the cherubim, 1 wheel by one cherub & another wheel by each other cherub; the wheels appeared to have the color of a beryl stone. As for their appearance, all 4 looked alike-as it were, a wheel in the middle of a wheel. When they went, they went toward any of their 4 directions; they did not turn aside when they went, but followed in the direction the head was facing. They did not turn aside when they went. Their whole body, with their back, their hands, their wings & their the wheels that the 4 had, were full of eyes all around. As for the wheels, they were called in my hearing, “Wheel.” Each one had 4 faces: the 1st face was the face of a cherub, the 2nd the face of a man, the 3rd the face of a lion & the 4th the face of an eagle. The cherubim were lifted up. This was the Living Creature Ezekiel saw by the River Chebar [the 1st vision Ezekiel had]. When the cherubim went, the wheels went beside them. When the cherubim stood still, the wheels stood still & when 1 was lifted up, the other lifted itself up, for the spirit of the Living Creature was in them. Then the glory of the Lord departed from the threshold of the temple & stood over the cherubim. The cherubim lifted their wings & mounted up from the earth in Ezekiel’s sight. When they went out, the wheels were beside them & they stood at the door of the east gate of the Lord’s house & the glory of the God of Israel was above them. This is the Living Creature he saw by the River Chebar & he knew they were cherubim. Each 1 had 4 faces & each 1 had 4 wings & the likeness of the hands of man was under their wings. The likeness of their faces was the same as the faces he had seen by the River Chebar, their appearance & their persons. They each went straight forward.
  • Rev 8:1-4 When He opened the 7th seal, there was silence in heaven for about ½ hour. John saw the 7 angels who stand before God were given 7 trumpets. Another angel having a golden censer came & stood at the altar. He was given much incense that he should offer it with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. The smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, ascended before God from the angel’s hand. 
  • Rev 9:11 They had a king over them, the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, but in Greek he has the name Apollyon. 
  • Rev 18:1After these things John saw another angel coming from heaven having great authority & the earth was illuminated with his glory. 
  • Rev 19:9-10 Then he [angel] said to me, “Write: ‘Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb!’” And he said to John, “These are the true sayings of God.” John fell at his feet to worship him, but he said to John, “See that you do not do that! I am your fellow servant & your brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.” 
  • Rev 15:6 John saw that the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened. Out of the temple came the 7 angels with the 7 plagues clothed in pure bright linen with their chest girded with golden bands.
  • Rev 17:7-8 One of the 4 Living Creatures gave to the 7 angels 7 golden bowls of the wrath of God who lives forever & ever.The temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God & from His power & no one was able to enter the temple till the 7 plagues of the 7 angels were completed. 
  • Rev 16:1 John heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the 7 angels, “Go & pour out the bowls of the wrath of God on the earth.
  • Rev 16:2 The 1st [angel] went & poured out his bowl upon the earth & a foul & loathsome sore came upon the men who had the mark of the beast & those who worshiped his image.

 

[Angel Information Analysis: Both the Book of Ezekiel and Revelation have consistent information related to angels, although Ezekiel calls them cherubs and cherubim. Ezekiel describes their movement and has more details which makes them seem similar to the Living Creatures.]

Description of God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit

 

  • Rev 1:10-11 John was in the Spirit on the Lord’s Day when he heard a loud voice behind him like a trumpet saying, “I am the Alpha & the Omega, the First & the Last. What You see, write in a book & send it to the 7 churches in Asia: Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamos, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, & Laodicea.”
  • Ezekiel 10:2-5 Then He [God] spoke to the man clothed with linen & said, “Go in among the wheels, under the cherub, fill your hands with coals of fire from among the cherubim & scatter them over the city.” He went in as I watched. Now the cherubim were standing on the south side of the temple when the man went in & the cloud filled the inner court. Then the glory of the Lord went up from the cherub & paused over the threshold of the temple & the house was filled with the cloud & the court was full of brightness of the Lord's glory.  The sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard even in the outer court, like the voice of Almighty God when He speaks.
  • 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.
  • Ezekiel 8:1-3 And it came to pass in the 6th year, in the 6th month, on the 5th day of the month, as I sat in my house with the elders of Judah sitting before me, that the hand of the Lord God fell upon me there. Ezekiel looked & there was a likeness, like the appearance of fire- from the appearance of His waist & downward, fire & from His waist & upward, like the appearance of brightness, like the color of amber.  
  • 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.
  • Ezekiel 1: 25-28 A voice came from above the firmament that was over [the heads of the 4 Living Creatures]; whenever they stood, they let down their wings. Above the firmament over their heads was the likeness of a throne, in appearance like a sapphire stone; on the likeness of the throne was a likeness with the appearance of a man high above it. Also from the appearance of His waist & upward he saw, as it were, the color of amber with the appearance of fire all around within it & from the appearance of His waist & downward, he saw the appearance of fire with brightness all around. Like the appearance of a rainbow in a cloud on a rainy day, so was the appearance of the brightness all around it. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. So when he saw it, he fell on his face & heard a voice of One speaking.
  • Rev 2:18 John writes to the church of Thyatira: “These things says the Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire & His feet like fine brass;
  • Rev 19:11 John saw the heaven opened & behold a white horse & He who sat on him was called Faithful & True & in righteousness He judges & makes war. His eyes were like a flame of fire & on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself. He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood & His name is called The Word of God
  • Rev 19:14-16 The armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white & clean followed Him on white horses. Out of His mouth goes a sharp sword that with it He should strike the nations. He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness & wrath of Almighty God. He has on His robe & on His thigh a name written: King Of Kings And Lord Of Lords

 

[The Description of God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit Analysis: Both the Book of Ezekiel and Revelation are consistent in describing God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. ]

Babylon or other Wicked Cities

  • Rev 14:8 Another angel followed saying, “Babylon, that great city is fallen, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.” 
  • Ezekiel 7:10-14 ‘Behold, the day! Behold, it has come! Doom has gone out; The rod has blossomed, Pride has budded. Violence has risen up into the rod of wickedness; None of them shall remain, None of their multitude, None of them; Nor shall there be wailing for them. The time has come, The day draws near. “Let not the buyer rejoice, Nor the seller mourn, For wrath is on their whole multitude. For the seller shall not return to what has been sold, Though he may still be alive; For the vision concerns the whole multitude, And it shall not turn back; No one will strengthen himself who lives in iniquity. They have blown the trumpet & made everyone ready, But no one goes to battle; For My wrath is on all their multitude. 
  • Rev 16:19 The great city was divided into 3 parts & the cities of the nations fell. And great Babylon was remembered before God to give her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath.
  • Ezekiel 22: 1-9 Moreover the word of the Lord came to Ezekiel saying, “Now, son of man, will you judge, will you judge the bloody city? Yes, show her all her abominations! Then say, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “The city sheds blood in her own midst, that her time may come & she makes idols within herself to defile herself. You have become guilty by the blood which you have shed & defiled yourself with the idols which you have made. You have caused your days to draw near & have come to the end of your years; therefore I have made you a reproach to the nations & a mockery to all countries. Those near & those far from you will mock you as infamous & full of tumult. Look, the princes of Israel: each one has used his power to shed blood in you. In you they have made light of father & mother; in your midst they have oppressed the stranger; in you they have mistreated the fatherless & the widow. You have despised My holy things & profaned My Sabbaths. In you are men who slander to cause bloodshed; in you are those who eat on the mountains; in your midst they commit lewdness.”
  • 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.” 
  • Ezekiel 6:9-14 “Then those of you who escape will remember Me among the nations where they are carried captive, because I was crushed by their adulterous heart which has departed from Me & by their eyes which play the harlot after their idols; they will loathe themselves for the evils which they committed in all their abominations. And they shall know that I am the Lord; I have not said in vain that I would bring this calamity upon them.” ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Pound your fists & stamp your feet & say, “Alas, for all the evil abominations of the house of Israel! For they shall fall by the sword, by famine & by pestilence. He who is far off shall die by the pestilence, he who is near shall fall by the sword & he who remains & is besieged shall die by the famine. Thus will I spend My fury upon them. Then you shall know that I am the Lord, when their slain are among their idols all around their altars, on every high hill, on all the mountaintops, under every green tree & every thick oak, wherever they offered sweet incense to all their idols. So I will stretch out My hand against them & make the land desolate, yes, more desolate than the wilderness toward Diblah, in all their dwelling places. Then they shall know that I am the Lord.’”
  • Rev 18:4-16 John heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins & lest you receive of her plagues. For her sins have reached to heaven & God has remembered her iniquities. Render to her as she did to you, but repay her double, because she glorified herself & lived luxuriously, in the same measure give her torment & sorrow for she says, ‘I sit as a queen & will not see sorrow.’ Therefore her plagues will come in 1 day-death & mourning & famine. She [the City of Babylon] will be utterly burned with fire for strong is the Lord God who judges her. The kings of the earth who committed fornication & lived luxuriously with her will weep & lament for her when they see the smoke of her burning, saying, “Alas that great city Babylon that mighty city! For in 1 hour your judgement has come.’ The merchants will weep & mourn over her for no one buys their merchandise of gold, silver, precious stones, pearls, etc.
  • Ezekiel 7:12-19 “The time has come, The day draws near. Let not the buyer rejoice, Nor the seller mourn, For wrath on their whole multitude. For the seller shall not return to what has been sold, Though he may still be alive; For the vision concerns the whole multitude, and it shall not turn back; No one will strengthen himself Who lives in iniquity. They have blown the trumpet & made everyone ready, But no one goes to battle; For My wrath is on all their multitude. The sword is outside, And the pestilence & famine within. Whoever is in the field Will die by the sword; And whoever is in the city, Famine & pestilence will devour him. Those who survive will escape & be on the mountains Like doves of the valleys, All of them mourning, each for his iniquity. Every hand will be feeble, And every knee will be as weak as water. They will also be girded with sackcloth; Horror will cover them; Shame will be on every face. Baldness on all their heads. They will throw their silver into the streets, And their gold will be like refuse; Their silver & their gold will not be able to deliver them In the day of the wrath of the Lord; They will not satisfy their souls, Nor fill their stomachs, Because it became their stumbling block of iniquity.”
  • Rev 18:21-22 A mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone & threw it into the sea saying, “Thus with violence the great city Babylon shall be thrown down & shall not be found anymore, the sound of harpists, musicians, flutists & trumpeters shall not be heard in you anymore, No craftsman of any craft shall be found in you anymore & the sound of a millstone shall not be heard in you anymore. Etc.
  • Ezekiel 9:7-11 Then He [God] said to them, “Defile the temple & fill the courts with the slain. Go out!” And they went out & killed in the city. So it was, that while they were killing them, I was left alone & I fell on my face & cried out & said, “Ah, Lord God! Will you destroy all the remnant of Israel in pouring out Your fury on Jerusalem? Then He said to me, “The iniquity of the house of Israel & Judah is exceedingly great & the land is full of bloodshed & the city full of perversity; for they say, ‘The Lord has forsaken the land & the Lord does not see!’ “And as for Me also, My eye will neither spare, nor will I have pity, but I will recompense their deeds on their own head.” Just then, the man clothed with linen, who had the inkhorn at his side, reported back & said, “I have done as You commanded me.”
  • Rev 18:24 In her was found the blood of prophets & saints & all who were slain on the earth.”
  • Rev 19:1-3 After these things John heard a loud voice in heaven saying, “Alleluia! Salvation & glory & honor & power belong to the Lord our God! For true & righteous are His judgments, because He has judged the great harlot who corrupted the earth with her fornication & He has avenged on her the blood of His servants shed by her.” Again they said, “Alleluia. Her smoke rises up forever & ever!”

 

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

 

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

Analogy Examples

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

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

What the Bible Says Some of the Signs Mean

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

 

[I put what the Bible said these signs mean, so there is no analysis on this topic.]

Yet behold, there shall be left in it a remnant who will be brought out, both sons & daughters; surely they will come out to you & you will see their ways & their doings. Then you will be comforted concerning the disaster that I have brought upon Jerusalem, all that I have brought upon it. They will comfort you, when you see & their doings & you shall know that I have done nothing without cause that I have done in it,” says the Lord God.
  • 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.
  • Ezekiel 5:11-17  “Therefore, as I live,’ says the Lord God, ‘surely, because you have defiled My sanctuary with all your detestable things & with all your abominations, therefore I will also diminish you; My eye will not spare, nor will I have any pity. One third of you shall die of the pestilence & be consumed with famine in your midst & one third shall fall by the sword all around you & I will scatter another third to all the winds & I will draw out a sword after them. Thus shall My anger be spent & I will cause My fury to rest upon them & I will be avenged & they shall know that I, the Lord, have spoken it in My zeal, when I have spent My fury upon them. Moreover I will make you a waste & a reproach among the nations that are all around you, in the sight of all who pass by. So it shall be a reproach, a taunt, a lesson & and astonishment to the nations that are all around you, when I execute judgments among you in anger & in fury & in furious rebukes. I, the Lord has spoken. When I send against them the terrible arrows of famine which shall be for destruction, which I will send to destroy you, I will increase the famine upon you & cut off your supply of bread.

  • 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. 
  • Ezekiel 7:1-4 The word of the Lord came to Ezekiel saying, “And you, son of man, thus says the Lord God to the land of Israel: ‘An end! The end has come upon the four corners of the land.

My eye will not spare you, Nor will I have pity; But I will repay your ways, And your abominations will be in your midst. Then you shall know that I am the Lord!”
  • 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?”
  • Ezekiel 6:1-8 The word of the Lord came to Ezekiel saying, “Son of man, set your face toward the mountains of Israel & prophesy against them & say, ‘O mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord God! Thus says the Lord God to the mountains, to the hills, to the ravines & to the valleys: “Indeed I, even I, will bring a sword against you & I will destroy your high places. Then your altars shall be desolate, your incense altars shall be broken & I will cast down your slain men before your idols. I will lay the corpses of the children of Israel before their idols & will scatter your bones all around your altars. In all your dwelling places the cities shall be laid waste & the high place shall be desolate, so your altars may be laid waste & made desolate, your idols may be broken & made to cease, your incense altars may be cut down & your works may be abolished. The slain shall fall in your midst & you shall know that I am the Lord. Yet I will leave a remnant, so that you may have some who escape the sword among the nations, when you are scattered through the countries.”
  • 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. 

Ezekiel 9:1-6 Then He [God] called out in Ezekiel’s hearing with a loud voice saying, “”Let those who have charge over the city draw near, each with a deadly weapon in his hand. Suddenly, 6 men came from the direction of the upper gate, which faces north, each with his battle-ax in his hand. One man among them was clothed in linen & had a writer’s inkhorn at his side. They went in & stood beside the bronze altar. The glory of the God of Israel had gone up from the cherub, where it had been, to the threshold of the temple. He called to the man clothed with linen, who had the writer’s inkhorn at his side & the Lord said to him, “go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem & put a mark on the foreheads of the men who sigh & cry over the abominations that are done within it. To the others He said in my hearing, “Go after him through the city & kill; do not let your eye spare, nor have any pity. Utterly slay old & young men, maidens & little children & women; but do not come near anyone on whom is the mark & begin at My sanctuary.” So they began with the elders who were before the temple.

  • 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”
  • Ezekiel 7:5-11 “Thus says the Lord God: ‘A disaster, a singular disaster; Behold, it has come! An end has come, The end has come; It has dawned for you; Behold, it has come! Doom has come to you, you who dwell in the land; The time has come, A day of trouble is near, And not of rejoicing in the mountains. Now upon you I will soon pour out my fury, And spend My anger upon you; I will judge you according to your ways, And I will repay you for all your abominations. My eye will not spare, Nor will I have pity; I will repay you according to your ways, And your abominations will be in your midst. Then you shall know that I am the Lord who strikes. Behold, the day! Behold, it has come! Doom has gone out; The rod has blossomed, Pride has budded. Violence has risen up into a rod of wickedness; None of them remain, None of their multitude, None of them; Nor shall there be wailing for them.
  • Rev 7:13-14 One of the elders answered John saying, “Who are these arrayed in white robes & where did they come from?” John told him that he knew. So he told John, “They are the ones who come out of the great tribulation & washed their robes & made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
  • Rev 8:5-6 [7th Seal] Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar & threw it to the earth. There were noises, thunderings, lightnings & an earthquake.So the 7 angels sounded who had the 7 trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
  • Rev 8:7 1st angel sounded & Hail & fire followed, mingled with blood & they were thrown to the earth. ⅓ of the trees were burned up & all green grass was burned up. 
  • Rev 8:8-9 2nd angel sounded: & something like a great mountain, burning with fire was thrown into the sea & ⅓ of the sea became blood & ⅓ of the living creatures in the sea died & ⅓ of ships were destroyed.
  • Rev 8:10-11 3rd angel sounded: a great star fell from heaven burning like a torch & fell on ⅓  of rivers & springs of water. The name of the star is Wormwood & ⅓ of the water became wormwood & many men died from the water, because it was made bitter.
  • Rev 8:12-13 4th angel sounded: ⅓ of the sun was struck, ⅓ of the moon & ⅓ of the stars were darkened. ⅓  of the day did not shine & likewise the night. John looked and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven saying with a loud voice, “Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth, because of the remaining blasts of the trumpet of the 3 angels who are about to sound!”
  • Rev 9:1-4 5th angel sounded: & John saw a star fallen from heaven to the earth. To him was given the key to the bottomless pit. He opened the bottomless pit & smoke arose out of the pit like the smoke of a great furnace. So the sun & the air were darkened because of the smoke of the pit. Then out of the smoke locusts came upon the earth & to them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. They were commanded not to harm the grass of the earth or any green thing, or any tree, but only those men who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads. 
  • Rev 9:10-12 They had tails like scorpions & there were stings in their tails.Their power was to hurt men 5 months. They had a king over them, the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, but in Greek he has the name Apollyon. One woe is past. Behold, still 2 more woes are coming after these things.
  • Rev 9:13-21 6th angel sounded: & John heard a voice from the 4 horns of the golden altar which is before God, saying to the 6th angel who had the trumpet, “Release the 4 angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.” So the 4 angels who had been prepared for the hour & day & month & year were released to kill ⅓ of mankind. John heard the number of the army of the horsemen: was 200 million. He saw the horses in the vision: those who sat on them had breastplates of fiery red, hyacinth blue & sulfur yellow & the heads of the  horses were like the heads of Lions & out of their mouths came fire, smoke & brimstone. By these 3 plagues ⅓ of mankind was killed-by fire & smoke & brimstone which came out of their mouths. For their power is in their mouth & tails; for their tails are like serpents, having heads & with them they do harm. The rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons & idols of gold, silver, brass, stone & wood which can neither see, nor hear, nor walk. And they did not repent of their murders or their sorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts. 
  • Rev 10:1-11 John saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven, clothed with a cloud. And a rainbow was on his head, his face was like the sun & his feet like pillars of fire. He had a little book open in his hand. He set his right foot on the sea & his left foot on the land & cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roars. When he cried out, 7 thunders uttered their voices. When the 7 thunders uttered their voices, John was about to write; but heard a voice saying to him, “Seal up the things which the 7 thunders uttered & do not write them.” The angel John saw standing on the sea & on the land raise up his hand to heaven & swore by Him who lives forever & ever, who created heaven & the things that are in it & earth & the things that are in it & the sea & the things that are in it, that there should be delay no longer, but in the days of the sounding of the 7th angel, when he is about to sound, the mystery of God would be finished, as He declared to His servants the prophets. Then the voice that he heard from heaven spoke to him again & said, “Go, take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel who stands on the sea & on the earth.” So John went to the angel & said to him, “Give me the little book.” And he said to John, “Take & eat it & it will make your stomach bitter, but it will be as sweet as honey in your mouth.” Then John took the little book out of the angel’s hand & ate it & it was as sweet as honey in his mouth, but when he had eaten it, his stomach became bitter. He said to John, “You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, tongues & kings." But leave out the court which is outside the temple, & do not measure it, for it has been given to the Gentiles. And they will tread the holy city underfoot for 42 months.
  • Rev 11:3-6 I will give power to my 2 Witnesses & they will prophesy 1,260 days clothed in sackcloth.” These are 2 olive trees & the 2 lampstands standing before the God of the earth. If anyone wants to harm them, fire proceeds from their mouth & devours their enemies, If anyone wants to harm them, he must be killed in this manner. These have power to shut heaven, so no rain falls in the days of their prophecy & they have power over waters to turn them to blood & to strike the earth with all plagues as often as they desire.
  •  Rev 11:7-12 When they finish their testimony, the beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit will make war against them, overcome them & kill them. Their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city which spiritually is called Sodom & Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. Then those from the people, tribes, tongues & nations will see their dead bodies 3 ½ days & not allow their dead bodies to be put into graves. Those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them, make merry & send gifts to one another, because these 2 prophets tormented those who dwell on earth.  After 3 ½ days the breath of life from God entered them & they stood on their feet & great fear fell on those who saw them. And they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here.” And they ascended to heaven in a cloud & their enemies saw them.
  • Rev 11:13-14 In the same hour, there was a great earthquake & 1/10 of the city fell. In the earthquake 7,000 people were killed & the rest were afraid & gave glory to the God of heaven. The Second Woe is past. Behold the third is coming quickly.
  • Rev 11:15-19 The 7th angel sounded: Loud voices in heaven saying, “The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord & His Christ & He shall reign forever & ever!” 24 elders who sat before God on their thrones fell on their faces & worshipped God saying, “We give You thanks, O Lord God Almighty, The One who is  & who was & who is to come, Because You have taken Your great power & reigned. The nations were angry & Your wrath has come & the time of the dead, that they should be judged, & that You should reward Your servants the prophets & the saints, & those who fear Your name, small & great, & should destroy those who destroy the earth.” Then the temple of God was opened in heaven & the ark of His covenant was seen in His temple. There were lightnings, noises, thunderings, an earthquake & great hail.
  • Rev 12:1-6 A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet & on her head was a garland of 12 stars. Then being with child, she cried out in labor & pain to give birth. Another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great, fiery red dragon having 7 heads & 10 horns & 7 diadems [crowns] on his heads. His tail drew ⅓ of the stars of heaven & threw them to the earth. The dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth, to devour her Child as soon as it was born. She bore a male Child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron, Her Child was caught up to God & His throne. The woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God that they should feed her there 1,260 days.
  • Rev 12:7-9 And war broke out in heaven. Micahel & his angels fought with the dragon & the dragon & his angels fought, but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer. The great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old called the Devil & Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth & his angels were cast out with him.
  • Rev 12:12-17 Rejoice, O heavens & you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth & the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time.” When the dragon saw that he had been cast to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male Child [Jesus].  The woman was given 2 wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place where she is nourished for a time & times & half a time, from the presence of the serpent. The serpent spewed water out of his mouth like a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood. But the earth helped the woman & the earth opened its mouth & swallowed up the flood which the dragon had spewed out of his mouth. The dragon was enraged with the woman & he went to make war with the rest of her offspring [Christians], who keep the commandments of God & have the testimony of Jesus Christ. 
  • Rev 13:1-10 John stood on the sand of the sea & saw a beast rising up out of the sea having 7 heads & 10 horns each with a crown & on his heads was a blasphemous name. The beast he saw was like a leopard, his feet were like the feet of a bear, & his mouth like the lion. The dragon gave him power, his throne & great authority. He saw 1 of the heads had been mortally wounded & his deadly wound was healed. All the world marveled & followed the beast. They worshipped the dragon who gave authority to the beast & worshiped the beast saying, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?” He was given a mouth speaking great things, blasphemies & was given authority to continue for 42 months. Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God to blaspheme His name, His tabernacle, & those who dwell in heaven. It was granted him to make war with the saints & to overcome them. Authority was given him over every tribe, tongue & nation.  All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. If anyone has an ear, let him hear. He who leads into captivity shall go into captivity; he who kills with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience & the faith of the saints.
  • Rev 13:11-18 John saw another beast coming up out of the earth & he had 2 horns like a lamb & spoke like a dragon. He exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence & causes the earth & those who dwell in it to worship the 1st beast whose deadly wound was healed. He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. He deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword & lived. He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast should both speak & cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. He causes all, both small & great, rich & poor, free & slave to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, & that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast or the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: HIs number is 666. 
  • Rev 14:1-5 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.”
  • Ezekiel 34:20-22 ”Therefore thus says the Lord God totthem: “Behold, I Myself will judge between the fat & the lean sheep. Because you have pushed with side & shoulder, butted all the weak ones with your horns & scattered them abroad, therefore I will save My flock & they shall no longer be a prey & I will judge between sheep and sheep. 
  • Rev 14:19-20 So the angel thrust his sickle into the earth & gathered the vine of the earth & threw it into the great winepress of the wrath of God. The winepress was trampled outside the city & blood came out of the winepress of the wrath of God up to the horses’ bridles for 1,600 furlongs
  • Rev 15:1-2 John saw another sign in heaven, great & marvelous, 7 angels having the 7 last plagues, for in them the wrath of God is complete. He saw something like a sea of glass mingled with fire & those who have the victory over the beast & his image & his mark & over the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass, having harps of God.
  • Rev 16:2 The 1st [angel] went & poured out his bowl upon the earth & a foul & loathsome sore came upon the men who had the mark of the beast & those who worshiped his image.
  • Rev 16:3 The 2nd angel poured out his bowl on the sea & it became blood as of a dead man & every living creature in the sea died.
  • Rev 16:4-7 The 3rd angel poured out his bowl on the rivers & springs of water & they became blood. He heard the angel of the waters saying, “You are righteous, O Lord, The One who is & who was & who is to be, Because You have judged these things. For they have shed the blood of saints & prophets, And You have given them blood to drink. For it is their just due.” He heard another from the altar saying, “Even so, Lord God Almighty, true & righteous are Your judgments.” 
  • Rev 16:8-9 The 4th angel poured out his bowl on the sun & power was given to him to scorch men with fire. Men were scorched with great heat & they blasphemed the name of God who has power over these plagues & they did not repent & give Him glory. 
  • Rev 16:10-11The 5th angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast & his kingdom became full of darkness; & they gnawed their tongues because of the pain. They blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains & their sores & did not repent of their deeds.
  • Rev 16:12-16 The 6th angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates & its water was dried up, so that the way of the kings from the east might be prepared. John saw 3 unclean spirits like frogs coming out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast & out of the mouth of the false prophet. They are [the] spirits of demons, performing signs which go out to the kings of the earth & of the whole world to gather them to the battle of the great day of God Almighty. “Behold, I am coming as a thief. Blessed is he who watches & keeps his garments, lest he walk naked & they see his shame.They gathered them together to the place called in Hebrew, Armageddon. 
  • Rev 16:17-21 The 7th angel poured out his bowl into the air & a loud voice came out of the temple of heaven from the throne saying, “It is done!” And there were noises & thunderings & lightnings & there was a great earthquake, such a mighty & great earthquake as had not occurred since men were on the earth. The great city was divided into 3 parts & the cities of the nations fell. And great Babylon was remembered before God to give her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath. Then every island fled away & the mountains were not found. Great hail from heaven fell upon men, each hailstone about the weight of a talent. Men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail, since that plague was exceedingly great.
  • Rev 19:6 John heard the voice as it were of a great multitude, as the sound of many waters & as the sound of mighty thunderings saying, “Alleluia! For the Lord God Omnipotent reigns!” 
  • Rev 19:19-21 John saw the beast, kings of the earth, their armies, gathered together to make war against Him who sat on the horse & against His army. Then the beast was captured & with him the false prophet who worked signs in his presence by which he deceived those who worshiped his image. These 2 were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone. The rest were killed with the sword  which proceeded from the mouth of Him who sat on the horse. All the birds were filled with their flesh.
  •   Rev 20:1- 6 John saw an angel coming down from heaven having the key to the bottomless pit & a great chain in his hand. He laid hold of the dragon, that serpent of old, who is the Devil & Satan & bound him for 1,000 years & he cast him into the bottomless pit & shut him up & set a seal on him, so that he should deceive the nations no more till the 1,000 years were finished. But after these things he must be released for a little while. John saw thrones & they sat on them & judgment was committed to them. Then he saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus & for the word of God who had not worshiped the beast or his image & had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. They lived and reigned with Christ for 1,000 years. The rest of the dead did not live again until the 1,000 years were finished. This is the 1st resurrection. Blessed & holy is he who has part in the 1st resurrection. Over such the 2nd death has no power, but they shall be priests of God & of Christ & shall reign with Him 1,000 years.
  • Rev 20:7-10 When the 1,000 years have expired, Satan will be released from his prison & will go out to deceive the nations which are in the 4 corners of the earth, Gog & Magog, to gather them together to battle, whose number is as the sand of the sea. They went up on the breadth of the earth & surrounded the camps of the saints & beloved city. Fire came down from God out of heaven & devoured them. The devil, who deceived them was cast into the lake of fire & brimstone where the beast & the false prophet are. They will be tormented day & Night forever & ever.
  • Rev 20:11-15 Then, John saw a great white throne & Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth & the heaven fled away. There was found no place for them. He saw the dead, small & great, standing before God, & books were opened. Another book was opened which is the Book of Life. The dead were judged according to their works, but the things which were written in the books. The sea gave up the dead who were in it & Death & Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. They were judged, each one according to his works. Then Death & Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the 2nd death. Anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.
  • Rev 21:1-7 John saw a new heaven & a new earth, for the 1st heaven & the 1st earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. He heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men & He will dwell with them & they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them & be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.” Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” He said to John, “Write, for these words are true and faithful.” He said to John, “It is done! I am the Alpha & the Omega, the Beginning & the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. He who overcomes shall inherit all things & I will be his God & he shall be My son.
  • Rev 21:8 But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters & all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire & brimstone, which is the 2nd death.” 
  • Rev 22:1-7 He [angel] showed John a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God & of the Lamb. In the middle of its street & on either side of the river was the tree of life, which bore 12 fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. There shall be no more curse, but the throne of God & the Lamb shall be in it & His servants shall serve Him. They shall see His face & His name shall be on their foreheads. There shall be no night there: They need no lamp nor light of the sun for the Lord God gives them light. And they shall reign forever & ever. Then he said to John, “These words are faithful & true.” The Lord God of the holy prophets sent His angel to show His servants the things which must shortly take place. “Behold, I am coming quickly! Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.
  • Rev 22:11-17 He said to John, “Do not seal the words of this prophecy of this book for the time is at hand. He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him be righteous still; he who is holy, let him be holy still.” “And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me to give to every one according to his work. I am the Alpha & the Omega, the Beginning & the End, the First & the Last.” Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life & may enter through the gates into the city. But outside are dogs, sorcerers, sexually immoral, murderers, idolaters & whoever loves & practices a lie. “I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the Root & the Offspring of David, the Bright & Morning Star.” The Spirit & the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely. 

……………………………………………………………………..

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

 

[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.
  • Revelation 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.
  • Ezekiel 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. Ezekiel’s prophecy covered, but isn’t limited to the end of world prophecy.
  • The Book of Ezekiel also warned the people of the following countries and cities to change their wicked ways:
  • Israel, Jerusalem, Chaldea, Samaria, Syria, Egypt, Ammon, Babylon, Tyre, Mount Seir, Gog, the land of Magog, Rosh, Meshech, Tubal, Philistia, Moab, and Edom.
  • This Book of the Ezekiel also 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 Ezekiel covers a wide range of topics, as noted above, it would be unreasonable to expect the passages in the Book of Ezekiel 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 Ezekiel 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 Book of Ezekiel verses said (sometimes paraphrased)

Basics of what these Revelation verses said (sometimes paraphrased)

Ezekiel 1:1 It came to pass in the 30th year, in the 4th month on the 5th day of the month, as Ezekiel was among the captives by the River Chebar, that the heavens were opened and I saw visions of God. 

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.

Ezekiel 1:3 The word of the Lord came expressly to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the River Chebar; and the hand of the Lord was upon him there.

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

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

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

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

Ezekiel 8:1-3

And it came to pass in the 6th year, in the 6th month, on the 5th day of the month, as I sat in my house with the elders of Judah sitting before me, that the hand of the Lord God fell upon me there. Ezekiel looked & there was a likeness, like the appearance of fire- from the appearance of His waist & downward, fire & from His waist & upward, like the appearance of brightness, like the color of amber. 

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.”

Ezekiel 5:11-17 

“Therefore, as I live,’ says the Lord God, ‘surely, because you have defiled My sanctuary with all your detestable things & with all your abominations, therefore I will also diminish you; My eye will not spare, nor will I have any pity. One third of you shall die of the pestilence & be consumed with famine in your midst & one third shall fall by the sword all around you & I will scatter another third to all the winds & I will draw out a sword after them. Thus shall My anger be spent & I will cause My fury to rest upon them & I will be avenged & they shall know that I, the Lord, have spoken it in My zeal, when I have spent My fury upon them. Moreover I will make you a waste & a reproach among the nations that are all around you, in the sight of all who pass by. So it shall be a reproach, a taunt, a lesson & and astonishment to the nations that are all around you, when I execute judgments among you in anger & in fury & in furious rebukes. I, the Lord has spoken. When I send against them the terrible arrows of famine which shall be for destruction, which I will send to destroy you, I will increase the famine upon you & cut off your supply of bread. So I will send against you famine & wild beasts & they will bereave you. Pestilence & blood shall pass through you & I will bring the sword against you. I, the Lord, have spoken.”

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.” 

Ezekiel 6:1-8

The word of the Lord came to Ezekiel saying, “Son of man, set your face toward the mountains of Israel & prophesy against them & say, ‘O mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord God! Thus says the Lord God to the mountains, to the hills, to the ravines & to the valleys: “Indeed I, even I, will bring a sword against you & I will destroy your high places. Then your altars shall be desolate, your incense altars shall be broken & I will cast down your slain men before your idols. I will lay the corpses of the children of Israel before their idols & will scatter your bones all around your altars. In all your dwelling places the cities shall be laid waste & the high place shall be desolate, so your altars may be laid waste & made desolate, your idols may be broken & made to cease, your incense altars may be cut down & your works may be abolished. The slain shall fall in your midst & you shall know that I am the Lord. Yet I will leave a remnant, so that you may have some who escape the sword among the nations, when you are scattered through the countries.”

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.”

Ezekiel 2:1-7 

He [God/Jesus/Spirit] said to Ezekiel, “Son of man stand on your feet & I will speak to you.” Then the Spirit entered him when He [God] spoke to him [Ezekiel]. He [God] said to Ezekiel, “I am sending you to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that has rebelled against Me; they & their fathers have transgressed against Me to this very day. They are impudent & stubborn children. I am sending you to them & you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God.’ “As for them, whether they hear or whether they refuse-for they are a rebellious house--yet they will know that a prophet has been among them. You, son of man, do not be afraid of them nor be afraid of their words, though briers & thorns are with you & you dwell among scorpions. You shall speak My words to them, whether they hear or whether they refuse, for they are rebellious. 

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.

Ezekiel 10:1

Ezekiel looked & there in the firmament that was above the head of the cherubim, there appeared something like a sapphire stone, having the appearance of the likeness of a throne.

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.”

Ezekiel 1:22 The likeness of the firmament above the heads of the Living Creatures was like the color of an awesome crystal, stretched out over their heads. 

…………………………

Ezekiel 1:23 And under the firmament their wings spread out straight, one toward another. Each one had 2 which covered one side & each one had 2 which covered the other side of their body.

……………….

Ezekiel 1: 25-28

A voice came from above the firmament that was over [the heads of the 4 Living Creatures]; whenever they stood, they let down their wings. Above the firmament over their heads was the likeness of a throne, in appearance like a sapphire stone; on the likeness of the throne was a likeness with the appearance of a man high above it. Also from the appearance of His waist & upward he saw, as it were, the color of amber with the appearance of fire all around within it & from the appearance of His waist & downward, he saw the appearance of fire with brightness all around. Like the appearance of a rainbow in a cloud on a rainy day, so was the appearance of the brightness all around it. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. So when he saw it, he fell on his face & heard a voice of One speaking.

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.

Ezekiel 1:4-21

Then Ezekiel looked & behold a whirlwind was coming out of the north, a great cloud with raging fire engulfing itself; & brightness was all around it & radiating out of its midst like the color of amber, out of the midst of the fire. Also from within it came the likeness of 4 Living Creatures. They had the likeness of a man. Each one had 4 faces & each had 4 wings. Their legs were straight & the soles of their feet were like the soles of calves’ feet. They sparkled like the color of burnished bronze. The hands of a man were under their wings on their 4 sides & each of the 4 had faces & wings. Their wings touched one another. The creatures did not turn when they went, but each one went straight forward. As for the likeness of their faces, each had the face of a man, a face of a lion on the right side, each had the face of an ox on the left side & each had the face of an eagle. Their wings stretched upward; 2 wings of each one touched one another & 2 covered their bodies. Each one went straight forward; they went wherever the spirit wanted to go & they did not turn when they went. As for the likeness of the Living Creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, like the appearance of torches going back & forth among the Living Creatures. The fire was bright & out of the fire went lightning. The Living Creatures ran back & forth, in appearance like a flash of lightning. As he looked at the Living Creatures , a wheel was on the earth beside each Living Creature with its 4 faces. The appearance of the wheels & their workings was like the color of beryl & all 4 had the same likeness. The appearance of their workings was, as it were, a wheel in the middle of a wheel. When they moved, they went toward any one of 4 directions, they did not turn aside when they went. As for their rims [I think of the wheels], they were so high they were awesome & their rims were full of eyes, all around the 4 of them. When the Living Creatures went, the wheels went beside them & when the Living Creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up. Wherever the spirit wanted to go, they went, because there the spirit went & the wheels were lifted together with them, for the spirit of the Living Creatures was in the wheels. 

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.”

Ezekiel 2:8-10

You, son of man, hear what I say to you. Do not be rebellious like that rebellious house; open your mouth & eat what I give you.” When Ezekiel looked, there was a hand stretched out to him & behold, a scroll of a book was in it. Then He [God] spread it before Ezekiel & there was writing on the inside & on the outside & written on it were lamentations & mourning & woe.

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.”

Ezekiel 14:21-23

For thus says the Lord God: “How much more it shall be when I send My 4 severe judgments of Jerusalem-the sword & famine & wild beasts & pestilence-to cut off man & beast from it? Yet behold, there shall be left in it a remnant who will be brought out, both sons & daughters; surely they will come out to you & you will see their ways & their doings. Then you will be comforted concerning the disaster that I have brought upon Jerusalem, all that I have brought upon it. They will comfort you, when you see & their doings & you shall know that I have done nothing without cause that I have done in it,” says the Lord God.

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?”

Ezekiel 7:1-4

 The word of the Lord came to Ezekiel saying, “And you, son of man, thus says the Lord God to the land of Israel: ‘An end! The end has come upon the four corners of the land. Now the end has come upon you, And I will send My anger against you; I will judge you according to your ways, And I will repay you for all your abominations. My eye will not spare you, Nor will I have pity; But I will repay your ways, And your abominations will be in your midst. Then you shall know that I am the Lord!”

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.

Ezekiel 9:1-6

Then He [God] called out in Ezekiel’s hearing with a loud voice saying, “”Let those who have charge over the city draw near, each with a deadly weapon in his hand. Suddenly, 6 men came from the direction of the upper gate, which faces north, each with his battle-ax in his hand. One man among them was clothed in linen & had a writer’s inkhorn at his side. They went in & stood beside the bronze altar. The glory of the God of Israel had gone up from the cherub, where it had been, to the threshold of the temple. He called to the man clothed with linen, who had the writer’s inkhorn at his side & the Lord said to him, “go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem & put a mark on the foreheads of the men who sigh & cry over the abominations that are done within it. To the others He said in my hearing, “Go after him through the city & kill; do not let your eye spare, nor have any pity. Utterly slay old & young men, maidens & little children & women; but do not come near anyone on whom is the mark & begin at My sanctuary.” So they began with the elders who were before the temple.

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 & seasaying, “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.” 

Ezekiel 34:15-16

“I will feed My flock & I will make them lie down,” says the Lord God. “I will seek what was lost & bring back what was driven away, bind up the broken & strengthen what was sick; but I will destroy the fat & the strong & feed them in judgment.”

Rev 8:1-4 When He opened the 7th seal, there was silence in heaven for about ½ hour. John saw the

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. 

Ezekiel 10:2-5 

Then He [God] spoke to the man clothed with linen & said, “Go in among the wheels, under the cherub, fill your hands with coals of fire from among the cherubim & scatter them over the city.” He went in as I watched. Now the cherubim were standing on the south side of the temple when the man went in & the cloud filled the inner court. Then the glory of the Lord went up from the cherub & paused over the threshold of the temple & the house was filled with the cloud & the court was full of brightness of the Lord's glory. 

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. 

Ezekiel 10:6-22

Then it happened, when He [God] commanded the man clothed in linen, saying, “Take fire from among the wheels, from among the cherubim,” that he went in & stood beside the wheels. The cherub stretched out his hand from among the cherubim to the fire & took some of it & put it into the hands of the man clothed with linen, who took it & went out. The cherubim appeared to have the form of a man’s hand under their wings. When I looked, there were 4 wheels by the cherubim, 1 wheel by one cherub & another wheel by each other cherub; the wheels appeared to have the color of a beryl stone. As for their appearance, all 4 looked alike-as it were, a wheel in the middle of a wheel. When they went, they went toward any of their 4 directions; they did not turn aside when they went, but followed in the direction the head was facing. They did not turn aside when they went. Their whole body, with their back, their hands, their wings & their the wheels that the 4 had, were full of eyes all around. As for the wheels, they were called in my hearing, “Wheel.” Each one had 4 faces: the 1st face was the face of a cherub, the 2nd the face of a man, the 3rd the face of a lion & the 4th the face of an eagle. The cherubim were lifted up. This was the Living Creature Ezekiel saw by the River Chebar [the 1st vision Ezekiel had]. When the cherubim went, the wheels went beside them. When the cherubim stood still, the wheels stood still & when 1 was lifted up, the other lifted itself up, for the spirit of the Living Creature was in them. Then the glory of the Lord departed from the threshold of the temple & stood over the cherubim. The cherubim lifted their wings & mounted up from the earth in Ezekiel’s sight. When they went out, the wheels were beside them & they stood at the door of the east gate of the Lord’s house & the glory of the God of Israel was above them. This is the Living Creature he saw by the River Chebar & he knew they were cherubim. Each 1 had 4 faces & each 1 had 4 wings & the likeness of the hands of man was under their wings. The likeness of their faces was the same as the faces he had seen by the River Chebar, their appearance & their persons. They each went straight forward.

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. 

Ezekiel 3:1-7

 Moreover He [God] said to Ezekiel, “Son of man, eat what you find; earth this scroll & go, speak to the house of Israel.” So Ezekiel opened his mouth & He [God] caused him to earth that scroll. He [God] said to him, “Son of man, feed your belly & fill your stomach with this scroll that I give you.” So Ezekiel ate & it was in his mouth like honey in sweetness. Then He [God] said to Ezekiel, “Son of man, go to the house of Israel & speak My words to them. For you are not sent to a people of unfamiliar speech & of hard language, but to the house of Israel, not to many people of unfamiliar speech & hard language, whose words you cannot understand. Surely, had I sent you to them, they would have listened to you. But the house of Israel will not listen to you, because they will not listen to Me; for all the house of Israel are impudent & hard-hearted. 

…………………………..

Ezekiel 3:10-11 

Moreover He [God] said to Ezekiel, “Son of man, receive into your heart all My words that I speak to you & hear with your ears. And go, get to the captives, to the children of your people & speak to them & tell them, ‘Thus says the Lord God,” whether they hear, or whether they refuse.” 

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.

Ezekiel 3:12-14

Then the Spirit lifted Ezekiel up & he heard behind him a great thunderous voice: “Blessed is the glory of the Lord from His place!” He also heard the noise of wings of the living creatures that touched one another & the noise of the wheels beside them & great thunderous noise. So the Spirit lifted him up & took him away & he went in bitterness, in the heat of his spirit; but the hand of the Lord was strong upon him. 

…………………………

Ezekiel 3:16-21

Now it came to pass at the end of 7 days that the word of the Lord came to Ezekiel, saying, “Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; therefore hear a word from My mouth & give them warning from Me: “When I say to the wicked, “You shall surely die,’ & you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life, that same wicked man shall die in his iniquity: but his blood I will require at your hand. Yet, if you warn the wicked & he does not turn from his wickedness, nor his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul. Again when a righteous man turns from his righteousness & commits iniquity & I lay a stumbling block before him, he shall die; because you did not give him warning, he shall die in his sin & his righteousness which he has done shall not be remembered: but his blood I will require at your hand. Nevertheless if you warn the righteous man that the righteous should not sin & he does not sin, he shall surely live because he took warning; also you will have delivered your soul.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Ezekiel 9:7-11

Then He [God] said to them, “Defile the temple & fill the courts with the slain. Go out!” And they went out & killed in the city. So it was, that while they were killing them, I was left alone & I fell on my face & cried out & said, “Ah, Lord God! Will you destroy all the remnant of Israel inpuring out Your fury on Jerusalem? Then He said to me, “The iniquity of the house of Israel & Judah is exceedingly great & the land is full of bloodshed & the city full of perversity; for they say, ‘The Lord has forsaken the land & the Lord does not see!’ “And as for Me also, My eye will neither spare, nor will I have pity, but I will recompense their deeds on their own head.” Just then, the man clothed with linen, who had the inkhorn at his side, reported back & said, “I have done as You commanded me.”

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.

Ezekiel 34:20-22

”Therefore thus says the Lord God to them: “Behold, I Myself will judge between the fat & the lean sheep. Because you have pushed with side & shoulder, butted all the weak ones with your horns & scattered them abroad, therefore I will save My flock & they shall no longer be a prey & I will judge between sheep and sheep. 

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.

Ezekiel 22: 1-9 Moreover the word of the Lord came to Ezekiel saying, “Now, son of man, will you judge, will you judge the bloody city? Yes, show her all her abominations! Then say, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “The city sheds blood in her own midst, that her time may come & she makes idols within herself to defile herself. You have become guilty by the blood which you have shed & defiled yourself with the idols which you have made. You have caused your days to draw near & have come to the end of your years; therefore I have made you a reproach to the nations & a mockery to all countries. Those near & those far from you will mock you as infamous & full of tumult. Look, the princes of Israel: each one has used his power to shed blood in you. In you they have made light of father & mother; in your midst they have oppressed the stranger; in you they have mistreated the fatherless & the widow. You have despised My holy things & profaned My Sabbaths. In you are men who slander to cause bloodshed; in you are those who eat on the mountains; in your midst they commit lewdness.”

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. 

Ezekiel 6:9-14

“Then those of you who escape will remember Me among the nations where they are carried captive, because I was crushed by their adulterous heart which has departed from Me & by their eyes which play the harlot after their idols; they will loathe themselves for the evils which they committed in all their abominations. And they shall know that I am the Lord; I have not said in vain that I would bring this calamity upon them.” ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Pound your fists & stamp your feet & say, “Alas, for all the evil abominations of the house of Israel! For they shall fall by the sword, by famine & by pestilence. He who is far off shall die by the pestilence, he who is near shall fall by the sword & he who remains & is besieged shall die by the famine. Thus will I spend My fury upon them. Then you shall know that I am the Lord, when their slain are among their idols all around their altars, on every high hill, on all the mountaintops, under every green tree & every thick oak, wherever they offered sweet incense to all their idols. So I will stretch out My hand against them & make the land desolate, yes, more desolate than the wilderness toward Diblah, in all their dwelling places. Then they shall know that I am the Lord.’”

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.  

Ezekiel 7:10-14

‘Behold, the day! Behold, it has come! Doom has gone out; The rod has blossomed, Pride has budded. Violence has risen up into the rod of wickedness; None of them shall remain, None of their multitude, None of them; Nor shall there be wailing for them. The time has come, The day draws near. “Let not the buyer rejoice, Nor the seller mourn, For wrath is on their whole multitude. For the seller shall not return to what has been sold, Though he may still be alive; For the vision concerns the whole multitude, And it shall not turn back; No one will strengthen himself who lives in iniquity. They have blown the trumpet & made everyone ready, But no one goes to battle; For My wrath is on all their multitude. 

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.” 

Ezekiel 7:12-19 

“The time has come, The day draws near. Let not the buyer rejoice, Nor the seller mourn, For wrath on their whole multitude. For the seller shall not return to what has been sold, Though he may still be alive; For the vision concerns the whole multitude, and it shall not turn back; No one will strengthen himself Who lives in iniquity. They have blown the trumpet & made everyone ready, But no one goes to battle; For My wrath is on all their multitude. The sword is outside, And the pestilence & famine within. Whoever is in the field Will die by the sword; And whoever is in the city, Famine & pestilence will devour him. Those who survive will escape & be on the mountains Like doves of the valleys, All of them mourning, each for his iniquity. Every hand will be feeble, And every knee will be as weak as water. They will also be girded with sackcloth; Horror will cover them; Shame will be on every face. Baldness on all their heads. They will throw their silver into the streets, And their gold will be like refuse; Their silver & their god will not be able to deliver them In the day of the wrath of the Lord; They will not satisfy their souls, Nor fill their stomachs, Because it became their stumbling block of iniquity.”

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.”

Ezekiel 1:24 When they [Living Creatures] went, Ezekiel heard the noise of many waters, like the voice of the Almighty, a tumult like the noise of an army: when they stood still, they let down their wings. 

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

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

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

& shall reign with Him 1,000 years.

Ezekiel 7:5-11

“Thus says the Lord God: ‘A disaster, a singular disaster; Behold, it has come! An end has come, The end has come; It has dawned for you; Behold, it has come! Doom has come to you, you who dwell in the land; The time has come, A day of trouble is near, And not of rejoicing in the mountains. Now upon you I will soon pour out my fury, And spend My anger upon you; I will judge you according to your ways, And I will repay you for all your abominations. My eye will not spare, Nor will I have pity; I will repay you according to your ways, And your abominations will be in your midst. Then you shall know that I am the Lord who strikes. Behold, the day! Behold, it has come! Doom has gone out; The rod has blossomed, Pride has budded. Violence has risen up into a rod of wickedness; None of them remain, None of their multitude, None of them; Nor shall there be wailing for them. 

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

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

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

Ezekiel 40:1-5

In the 25th year of our captivity, at the beginning of the year, on the 10th day of the month, in the 14th year after the city was captured, on the very same day the hand of the Lord was upon Ezekiel & He took him there. In the visions of God He took him into the land of Israel & set him on a very high mountain; on it toward the south was something like the structure of a city. He took him there & behold, there was a man whose appearance was like the appearance of bronze. He had a line of flax & a measuring rod in his hand & he stood in the gateway. The man said to Ezekiel, “Son of man, look with your eyes & hear with your ears & fix your mind on everything I show you; for you were brought here so that I might show them to you. Declare to the house of Israel everything you see.” Now there was a wall all around the outside of the temple. In the man’s hand was a measuring rod 6 cubits long, each being a cubit & a handbreadth & he measured the width of the wall structure, one rod & the height one rod, etc. [There are 4 pages giving the dimensions, so I cut it off here.]

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. 

Ezekiel 47:1-5

Then he [the angel] brought Ezekiel back to the door of the temple & there was water, flowing from under the threshold of the temple toward the east, the water was flowing from under the right side of the temple south of the altar. He brought me out by the way of the north gate & led me around on the outside to the outer gateway that faces east & there was water running, out on the right side. And when the man went out to the east with the line in his hand, he measured 1,000 cubits & he brought Ezekiel through the waters; the water came up to his ankles. Again he measured 1,000 & brought him through the waters: the water came up to his knees. Again he measured 1,000 & brought Ezekiel through; the water came up to his waist. Again he measured 1,000 & it was a river that he could not cross; for the water was too deep, water in which one must swim, a river that could not be crossed. 

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.
