The Book of Revelation

The Scroll Sealed With Seven Seals

 

This is my understanding of end time events, God’s Scroll and the opening of the Scroll, the seven seals and the sounding seven trumpets and the seven bowls of judgment,

Found in the book of Revelation.

 

In the 5th chapter of Revelation we find the scroll with writing on the inside and sealed with seven seals on the back side sealing it together.

 

At the time of this writing I have not yet found what is written on the inside of the scroll. Many I think miss the point that something is written on the inside of the scroll. No doubt they take it to be the seven seals. But the seven seals are on the back of the scroll and are sealing the scroll so that no one can read it. At this time I think it is the mystery of God that is written on the inside that will be revealed after all the seals are removed. So it can be opened at the very end.  As it is written in Rev10:7 the mystery of God will be finished.

 

Revelation Chapter 5: God is sitting on his thrown and in his right hand He is holding a scroll which no doubt he had written and sealed it with seven seals. No one in heaven or on the earth or under the earth was worthy to open the scroll or to read it.

 

But then there was one in the midst of the throne. There stood a Lamb as though it had been slain. This Lamb is Jesus the son of the most high God. He was found worthy to take the scroll and open its seals. If you are reading this and you don’t know Jesus as Lord, you may not understand how Jesus is the Lamb of God. If you read John 1:29 when John saw Jesus he said, Behold the Lamb of God which takes away the sin of the world.  Jesus is the Lamb of God.

 

So Jesus took the scroll out of God’s right hand.

In the sixth chapter of Revelation Jesus the Lamb of God opens the seals. And each seal has an event to happen when it is opened.

 

Before the seals are opened, I believe things on the earth will start to decay.  I think it is what Jesus was talking about in Mathew 24th chapter verses 6-8. He called it the beginning of sorrows.  He said you will hear of wars and rumors of wars.  He said nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. I believe things all over the world will decay, weather changes, floods, heat waves, drought, wild fires, volcanoes, major earthquakes, famines, pestilences, new diseases and so on.

 

 He said all these are the beginning of sorrows.  I believe this is to turn the hearts of the people to call on God. Because when there is trouble people call on and look for God to help them.  So no doubt some will be saved, perhaps many.  It is also to set the stage for the Antichrist to come.  Things will be bad; people will be in need, few jobs, food shortages, and sickness.  The world will need someone to lead them.  In Daniel chapter 8 verse 25 says:  And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand. The Antichrist will be able to cause craft to prosper.    This craft is the craft of industry, manufacturing, prosperous economies. 

 

Jesus said in Mathew chapter 24 verse 24: “For there shall arise false Christs and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders”; Revelation chapter 16 verse 13 says the three unclean spirits come out of them. Verse 14 says for they are the spirits of devils working miracles.

He will be able to perform miracles.  People will think he is the Messiah, the Christ. 

Opening of the seals Revelation Chapter 6

Verse 1 And I saw the Lamb open one of the seals,

These are four horses here in Revelation chapter 6 verses 1-8 these horses are the 4 spirits of the heavens (You can find this in Zechariah ch.6 verse 5 

First Seal Rev 6:2 And I saw and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.  It is believed that the first seal brings the Antichrist, and because he only has a bow he will come in peace. The crown means he becomes a leader.

This is the first beast in Revelation Chapter 13. This is the Antichrist, a man that will come up from the sea of people. He comes in peace and sets up his kingdom in Jerusalem.  He brings wealth to Jerusalem. And he will conquer, after he makes peace with them. They will share the temple and do the daily sacrifice and offerings. But when the 4th seal is opened he will turn on the people and cause the sacrifice and offerings to cease.  Read Daniel Chapter 7 : 15-28  Also see Daniel Ch 8:11-25  

While this man (who is the Antichrist) brings peace and allows the daily sacrifices to take place, The Jews will think this man is the Messiah, the Christ.  Remember they rejected Jesus as the true Messiah, they said he was only a prophet. Others will think this man is their Messiah and he will bring peace.  So they will share the temple and do the daily sacrifices to God. 

After he sets up his kingdom in Jerusalem and they start doing the daily sacrifices, God sends his two witnesses to stop them. No man can kill these two witnesses or hurt them until they have finished their preaching. Rev 11:3 says I will give power to my two witnesses and they shall preach 1,260 days.  Rev 11:7 says when they have finished their preaching the beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them and kill them.  The beast that comes out of the bottomless pit is the second beast the false prophet.  So we know this will take place around the first part of the Tribulation, and they will preach 1,260 days or about 3 ½ years.  And then the second beast can come and make war and kill them. These two will proclaim Jesus is Lord, that Jesus is the true Christ. These two witnesses will tell the Antichrist and the people that they should stop doing the sacrifices that they are not to be done anymore. Jesus, the true Christ was the Lamb of God. He was the sacrifice for all sin and for all of mankind. 

These two witnesses will have the same power as Moses and Elijah.  It says in the Book of Revelation chapter 11 verse 6  These two have power to shut heaven so that no rain falls in the days of their prophecy; and they have powers over the waters to turn them into blood’ and to strike the earth with all plagues’ as often as they desire.  You can read what Moses did in the book of Exodus and Elijah in the book of 1st Kings.

Because the people will not repent and stop doing the daily sacrifices, these two witnesses will do like Moses did with Pharaoh in the 7th – 11th chapters of Exodus.  Moses turned the waters, rivers and lakes into blood, the fish died and the waters and land stank.  He did the plague of frogs, plague of lice, plague of flies, plague on their flocks, cattle, horses, camels, sheep, plague of boils, plague of hail and fire mingled with hail, crops were destroyed, plague of locusts, plague of darkness, plague of the death of the first born even down to the first born of the cattle died. 

 And like Elijah in 1st Kings Chapter 17, Elijah stopped it from raining for three years and this caused a severe famine. He was able to call fire down from heaven as well. He also raised the dead and parted the waters.

These two witnesses will bring these plagues upon the earth, upon Jerusalem and the entire Judea area the first 3 ½ years of the seven year tribulation, but the Jewish people and others will not repent and accept Jesus as the Christ.  They will not stop the daily sacrifices the first 3 ½ years.

The Jewish people should recognize these plagues are from God because they are the same plagues that God used to bring them out of Egypt.

Second Seal Rev.6v3&4 Takes away Peace from the earth, and they shall kill one another. Peace as we know it will no longer exist, things will be real dangerous. There will also be wars.

Third Seal Rev.6v5&6 This seal causes prices to go up, things will be very hard to get, a quart of wheat for a denarius.  As some understands, it will cost a worker a day’s wage for a quart of wheat.  My bible says wheat  costs will be $41.80 a bushel, barley $32.50.

Now with all these things going on in the world, things are going to be very severe and grievous. The two witnesses will cause great pain to be on Jerusalem with their plagues.  I believe the last plague of death of the first born hurts the Antichrist like it did Pharaoh. Pharaoh could not overcome this.  He was defeated. I think this is the Antichrist’s deadly wound.  The people will also be defeated just like the Egyptians were. Then they will say to the Antichrist why can’t you stop them? Why can’t you kill them? He will try to kill them, but God will not allow it. The people will hate the two witnesses. They want them dead, but no one can kill them. The people will say how long will these men bring us trouble? Do you not yet understand that we are destroyed? Their God is greater, we should stop the sacrifices. The people that look to the Antichrist as their leader will start to turn on him. He gets angry and stops the daily sacrifices. The 4th seal is opened.

We have to understand the plagues will cause the air and the water to stink, dead fish all around, buildings on fire, smoke in the air,  darkness in the daytime, hard to find any drinking water, food shortages, and their firstborn will be dead. Their lives will be miserable.  They will hate these two witnesses and their hate will grow! Non Christian people will hate all Christians.

The 4th seal Rev.6v7&8. The Pale horse, and his name that sat on him was Death and hell followed with him.  And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with the sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

The Antichrist is Death, the Devil in the flesh, on earth with man. Also following the Antichrist comes hell, he is the false prophet.  (The Beast and the False Prophet) this fourth seal is the timeline that gives them power over the fourth of the earth, to kill with the sword (war) and with hunger and with death and the beast of the field.  No doubt the Antichrist will have food if you want to eat you bow to him.  Because he has the power to perform miracles and can cause food to appear.

This is when the second beast the false prophet, the one that comes from the earth, makes war against the two witnesses and Christians for 42 months. He kills the two witnesses and leaves their dead bodies in the streets of Jerusalem for all to see.  Revelation Chapter 11 verse 7:  And when they (the two witnesses) have finished their testimony, the beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them and shall overcome them and kill them.

I think this second beast brings the Antichrist’s first born back to life. That is how the first beast deadly wound is healed.  And the Antichrist and the False Prophet make war against the saints for 42 months. The people will then say who can make war with the beast.

Rev 13 Now this second beast (the false prophet), he has all the same powers as the first beast (the Antichrist) in his presence. And he causes the earth and them that dwell in it to worship the Antichrist.  He performs great signs (miracles) so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men.  They show such great signs and wonders that if it were possible they shall deceive the very elect.  And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the Antichrist. 

Saying that they should make an image to the Antichrist, and he had power to give life to the image of the Antichrist that it should both speak, and cause that as many that would not worship the image of the Antichrist should be killed.  This false prophet causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no one may buy or sell  unless one has the mark or the name of the antichrist, or the number of his name.  Taking the mark of the beast will allow you to work, and buy food and supplies and will bring prosperous economies. 

This is the timeline that the Antichrist and the False Prophet make war with the saints of God the Christians for 42 months. This is when the false prophet will make an image to the Antichrist. I think this image will be a dragon, I’ll show why later. This will be the time that the Antichrist and the False Prophet will rule the whole earth.  Revelation Chapter 13 verse 7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: And power was given him over all kindred’s and tongues and nations. Verse 8 and all that dwell upon 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.  The Christians are the ones whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life.

This is the back half of the seven year tribulation; also know as the Great Tribulation.  We have gone through the first three and a half years of the tribulation. This will be the time that Christians will be in hiding.  No one will be able to buy or sell any type of goods unless you have the mark of the beast or the name of the antichrist, or the number of his name.

This brings us to Revelation chapter 14 verse 6 Then there is 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, and people, “Saying Fear God and give glory to him, for the hour of his judgment has come”.

Rev 14 Verse 8-11 And another angel followed saying Babylon is fallen.  Then a third angel followed them saying, “ If anyone worships the beast and his image and receives his mark on his forehead or on 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 and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb.  And the smoke of their torment ascends up for ever and ever; they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name”.

This is a warning not to take the mark of the beast that has started.  At this point people have not taken the mark of the beast and can still be saved and no doubt they will be killed for not taking the mark.  Rev chapter 20 verse 4 And I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus and for the word of God, and which had not worshiped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. I believe the war against the saints will be all over the world as well as the mark of the beast. If you trade, sell or buy from a Christian or even help a Christian you will be the same as a Christian and will be killed and no doubt your family will be killed as well.  You will not be able to buy or sell anything unless you take the mark of the beast.  The Christians will have to go into hiding.  Many will be caught and killed. Some will give in and take the mark of the beast. They are foolish.

Rev 14 verse 12 Here is the patience of the saints; here are they that keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. Verse 13 Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from here on, “Yes” says the Spirit, “that they may rest from their labors; and their works do follow them.”

The Christians will have to go into hiding and wait for the Lord to come and get them. Remember the parable of the ten virgins? Trust me; this will seem to be the longest 42 months anyone has ever lived through.

The Fifth Seal is also opened Rev 6v9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held. Verse 11 And white robes were given unto them and it was said that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellow servants also their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.  There will be Christians killed because they are Christians and they will not take the mark of the beast. This will be the time of the patience of the saints, they will have to hide and wait for the Lord to come and call them up into the clouds to be with the Him.  

Rev 11 Those bodies of the two witnesses were left in the street of Jerusalem for all to see, and after three and one half days the spirit of life from the most high God entered into them and they stood on their feet; and great fear fell upon them that saw them.  And they heard a great voice from heaven say unto them to come up here, and they ascended to heaven in a cloud, and their enemies saw them. The sixth seal is opened.  And the same hour there was a great earthquake and a tenth of the city fell. In that earthquake seven thousand people were killed and the rest were afraid and gave glory to the God of heaven.

The sixth seal Revelation Ch 6v12 When he had opened the sixth seal and lo there was a great earthquake and the sun became black and the moon became as blood. v13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth.  v14. And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together.  And every mountain and island was moved out of their places. v15 And the kings of the earth and the rich men the mighty men hid themselves in the dens and the rocks of the mountains. v16. And said to the mountains and rocks fall on us and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb.  

Verse 17. For the great day of his wrath is come.

 

The 144 thousand sealed.

Revelation Chapter 7

The four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth that the wind should not blow. And I saw another angel ascending (going up ) from the east  having the seal of the living God; and said with a loud voice to the four angels holding the winds, saying not to hurt anything until we have sealed the servants of God , the 144 thousand.  So of the 12 tribes of the children of Israel were sealed 144 thousand, 12 thousand from each tribe. They are sealed to protect them from what is to come.  They are not Christians and are not protected by the blood of Jesus.  They are of the 12 tribes of Israel, they are children.  You will see their protection in the 5th trumpet. Rev chapter 9

Rev 14Verse 4 These are they, which were not defiled with woman; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goes.  These were redeemed from among men, being the first fruits unto God and to the Lamb. Jesus Is the Lamb.

Verse 5 And in their mouth was found no guile: (deceit) For they are without fault (blameless) before the throne of God.

There is no doubt these are little children.  If they had been older  they would have accepted the Antichrist and could not be blameless before God. However if these are very small children then they wouldn’t be accountable, even if their parents made them take the mark of the beast.

First of all, they are virgins; they also follow the Lamb (Jesus) wherever he goes. This is after God has sealed them. These were redeemed from among men, being the first fruits unto God and the Lamb. They have no guile (no deceit). They are blameless without fault before the throne of God.  

Notice only a 144-thousand is all that are sealed in their forehead with his father’s name.  This 144 Thousand  are Children that Jesus will raise himself during the thousand years that He reigns here on earth.  They will have to accept Jesus as their Lord to be saved.  That is why the Devil is loosed for a season after the thousand years that Jesus rules as King.  They and their children must choose Jesus to receive everlasting life.

Rev chapter 8

The 7th seal is opened : There was silence in heaven for about half hour. The seven angels are given the seven trumpets, And the prayers of the saints that the Antichrist and False Prophet make war with, come up before God and there is another earthquake. And the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepare themselves to sound.

 

The 7 TRUMPETS

This brings us to the 7 trumpets in Revelation Chapter 8 verse 6.  Each one sounds and an event takes place.  This is not just in Judea but in all the earth.

1st Trumpet Sounds: Hail and fire mingled with blood are cast upon the earth and a third part of the trees was burnt up, and all the green grass was burnt up.

2nd Trumpet Sounds: A great fireball is cast into the sea; and the third part of the sea is turned into blood. And the third part of the creatures that were in the sea die; and a third part of the ships are destroyed.

3rd Trumpet Sounds: A great star falls from heaven burning and it fell upon the rivers and upon the fountains of water.  The star is called wormwood; and the third part of the waters became poisonous and many men died.

4th Trumpet Sounds; The third part of the sun and a third part of the moon and a third part of the stars was struck so that the third part of them was darkened,  so that a third of the day did not shine, and likewise the night.

The 5thTrumpet sounded: and a star fell from heaven and to him was given the key to the bottomless pit.  And he opened the pit and there arose smoke and it darkened the sun and the air.  And out of the smoke locust came upon the earth, and unto them was given power. As the scorpions of the earth have power. And it commanded them that they should not hurt the grass, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.  They are not allowed to kill men but only allowed to torment them for five months;  and their torment was the torment of a scorpion when strikes a man.  The 144 thousand are protected by the seal of God in their foreheads.  The Christians are protected by the blood of Jesus.   Many think this is armies of men. But notice it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.  Locust normally eat grass, crops, tree leaves and they don’t bite or sting men, But here it is only men that don’t have the seal of God in their forehead that they attack.

The 6th Trumpet Sounded:  Release the four angels which are bound at the great river Euphrates to kill a third of mankind, by these three plagues by fire, smoke and brimstone a third of mankind was killed.   Just think one third of mankind will be killed!

The seven thunders utter their voices. We don’t know what they say it has been seal up and not written.

Now we look at the fall of Babylon.

 

The Fall Of Babylon

 

This bring us to the fall of Babylon

This is where the people of the world and the nations that has taken the mark of the beast and has worshiped the beast who sits in Jerusalem as God.  For many years the USA a Christian nation, has defended Israel and that great city Jerusalem.  I think when the beast (Antichrist) come into power, like Israel, the USA will give over to him as well; the judgment will also be on the USA as it is with Israel when it does.

Notice when you spell Jerusalem, you find USA in the middle.   The USA should know better and I hope I’m wrong about this, but I don’t think I am.  I think the USA will be taken out when this Christian Nation gives over to the Mark of the Beast.  I think everything for the use of the mark of the beast will be in place long before the second beast comes.  Let me explain.  There will be something that will cause the whole world to work together, something like the war on terror.  They will want to know who and where a person is from.  They will also need to exchange money.  A very easy way to do this is some type of ID system that can be used to transfer money from bank to bank.  In other words be able to pay for things with your ID card.  This card will then go to a micro chip that can be put in your hand or in your forehead if you don’t have hands and then can be scanned to pay for things.  It is this very ID system that will be used and taken over by the beast.  You will not be able to buy and sell unless you have the mark.

This is one of the ways he makes war against the saints.  He knows it will be hard on the true saints of God the Christians, because they cannot buy and sell or do anything without his mark.  So is the micro chip the mark of the beast?  Or is it a special mark (tattoo) of some kind.  That I don’t know.  I do know you won’t be able to buy food or anything without it.

Rev 18 V 1 And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was illuminated with his glory. V2 And he cried mightily with a loud voice, saying Babylon the great has fallen, and has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul spirit and cage for every unclean and hated bird. V3 “For the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury.”

 

This brings us to the Harvest of the earth. The Rapture!

The Harvest Of The Earth

The 7th Trumpet Sounded And there were great voices in heaven saying, The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever.  Remember at the last Trump the Christians we shall be changed and be called up to meet the Lord Jesus in the clouds. 1st Corinthians 15:52 1st Thessalonians 4:16, 17

 

Jesus Comes In The Clouds The Rapture Of The Church

Revelation 14 verse 14

And I looked up and behold a white cloud, and on the cloud sat one like the Son of Man, having on His head a golden crown, and in His hand a sharp sickle.  Verse 15 and another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to Him that sat on the cloud,  Thrust in Your sickle and reap for the time has come for You to reap, for the harvest of the earth is ripe.  Verse 16 So He who sat on the cloud thrust in His sickle on the earth and the earth was reaped.

 

The Marriage Supper Of The Lamb

Revelation 19 verse 7 Lets us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready.  Verse 8 and to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints. Verse 9 Then he said Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb.

Revelation Chapter 7 verse 13 Then one of the elders said “Who are these in white robes, and where did they come from”? Verse 14 And I said to him, “Sir you know.” “These are the ones who came out of the great tribulation, and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

 

The Great Winepress of God’s Wrath

Revelation 14 verse 19

Now is the great winepress of the wrath of God, The seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them the wrath of God is complete.

The Vials/Bowls of God’s Wrath; This wrath will be poured out on the Antichrist, the False Prophet, and all those who took the mark of the beast and worshiped the beast.

1st Vial/Bowl: The first angel poured out his upon the earth; and a foul and loathsome sore came upon the men who had the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his Image.

2nd Vial/Bowl: the second angel poured out his on the sea, and it became blood as of a dead man, and every living creature in the sea died.  Notice it says every living creature in the sea dies. Not a ¼ or ½ but all every living creature that is still alive dies.

3rd Vial/Bowl: the third angel poured out his on the rivers and the springs of water, and they became blood.  The angel said “For they have shed the blood of the saints and prophets, and you have given them blood to drink. For their just is due.

4th Vial/Bowl: the fourth angel poured out his on the sun and power was given to him to scorch men with fire. And the men were scorched with great heat, and they blasphemed the name of God who has power over these plagues.

5th Vial/Bowl: the fifth angel poured out his on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom became full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues because of the pain.

6th Vial/Bowl: the sixth angel poured out his on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up, so the way of the kings of the east might be prepared. And unclean spirits came out of the mouth of the Dragon, out of the Antichrist and out of the False Prophet. For they are spirits of demons working miracles which go out to the kings of the earth and the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. And he gathered them together into a place called Armageddon.  This is why I think the Image is a Dragon. Remember the second beast gave life to the Image of the first beast, I think he gave it life with an unclean spirit.  So here it is talking about the three of them, the dragon, the antichrist and the false prophet. I think the Image is a dragon.

Revelation 14v18  And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and said to him that had the sharp sickle saying “Thrust in your sickle and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth;  for her grapes are fully ripe.  So the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth and gathered the vine of the earth and cast into the great winepress of the wrath oh God.  And the winepress was trodden without the city, and the blood came out of the winepress up to the horse bridles by the space of 200 miles.  

7th Vial/Bowl and the seventh angel poured out oh his into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple from the throne saying “IT IS DONE!”  And there were voices, thunders, and lightings; and there was a great earthquake, such as had not occurred since men were on the earth. Now the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of nations fell. 

Then every island fled away and the mountains were not found. And great hail from heaven fell upon men, each hailstone about 100 lbs.

This earthquake changes everything on the earth.  Cities and nations are destroyed and no more mountains.

 

Jesus On The White Horse

Revelation 19 verse 11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war.

Verse 14 And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen white and clean, followed Him on white horses. verse 15 Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself shall rule them with a rod of iron.  He himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of almighty God.  

Rev 19 v 17 And the angel said to all the birds that fly in the midst of heaven, “Come and gather together that you may eat the flesh of all people”.  Rev 19 verse 19 And I saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against Him (Jesus) who sat on the horse and against His army. 

Rev 19 verse 20 Then the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who worked signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image.  These two were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone.

Rev 19 verse 21 And the rest were killed with the sword that proceeded from the mouth of Him (Jesus) who sat on the horse, And all the birds were filled with their flesh.

 

Satan Bound A Thousand Years

Rev 20 verse 1 I saw an angel coming down from heaven, having the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.  Verse 2 And he laid hold of the dragon, that serpent of old, who is called the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years; and he cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up and set a seal on him, so that he should deceive the nations no more till the thousand years were finished.  But after a thousand years he must be released for a little while.

Rev 20 verse 4 And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them.  Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or in their hands. And they lived with Christ a thousand years.

Rev 20 verse 5 But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. Verse 7 Now when the thousand years have expired, Satan will be released from his prison and will go out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and 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 and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city.

And fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured them. The devil, who deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and false prophet are.  And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.

 

And Then The Great White Throne Judgment

Rev 20 verse 11- 15

Verse 11 And I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away, and there was no place found for them.

Verse 12 And I saw the dead, small and great stand before God and the books were opened.  And another book was opened, which is the Book Of Life.  And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things written in the books. Anyone not found written in the Book Of Life was cast into the lake of fire.

Rev 21 verse 1  I saw a new heaven and a new earth for the first heaven and earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. 

Verse 2 Then I John saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.  

Verse 3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying “Behold the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. 

V4 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.

V5 Then He who sat on the throne said.

 “BEHOLD I MAKE ALL THINGS NEW”.

And he said to me

“IT IS DONE!”
