The Beast Out Of The Sea

And I saw a beast coming out of the sea. He had ten horns & seven heads, with ten crowns on his horns, & on each head a blasphemous name. The beast I saw resembled a leopard, but had feet like those of a bear & a mouth like that of a lion. The dragon gave the beast his power & his throne & great authority. One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed. The whole world was astonished & followed the beast. Men worshiped the dragon because he had given authority to the beast, & they also worshiped the beast & asked, “Who is like the beast? Who can make war against him?”

The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words & blasphemies & to exercise his authority for forty-two months. He opened his mouth to blaspheme God, & to slander his name & his dwelling place & those who live in heaven. He was given power to make war against the saints & to conquer them. And he was given authority over every tribe, people, language & nation. All Inhabitants Of The Earth Will Worship The Beast—All Whose Names Have Not Been Written In The Book Of Life Belonging To The Lamb That Was Slain From The Creation Of The World.

He who has an ear, let him hear.
If anyone is to go into captivity,
into captivity he will go.
If anyone is to be killed with the sword,
with the sword he will be killed.
This calls for patient endurance & faithfulness on the part of the saints.
Revelation 13:1b-10

Overcome The Accuser by The Blood Of The Lamb & by Testimony

Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say:
“Now have come the salvation & the power & the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ.
For the accuser of our brothers, who accuses them before our God day & night, has been hurled down.
They OVERCAME him BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB and BY THE WORD of their TESTIMONY;
they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.
Therefore rejoice, you heavens and you who dwell in them!
But woe to the earth & the sea, because the devil has gone down to you!
He is filled with fury, because he knows that his time is short.”
Revelation 12:10-12

Satan Is Overcome & Hurled Down

And there was war in heaven. Michael & his angels fought against the dragon, & the dragon & his angels fought back. But he was not strong enough, & they lost their place in heaven. The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, & his angels with him.
Revelation 12:7-9

Thank you, You Are My Lord & My King

The Seventh Trumpet

The seventh angel sounded his trumpet, & there were loud voices in heaven, which said:
“The Kingdom Of The World Has Become The Kingdom Of Our Lord & Of His Christ, & He Will Reign For Ever & Ever.”

And the twenty-four elders, who were seated on their thrones before God, fell on their faces & worshiped God, saying:
“We give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty, the ONE WHO IS & WHO WAS,
because you have taken your great power & have begun to reign.
The nations were angry; & your wrath has come.
The time has come for judging the dead,
& for rewarding your servants the prophets & your saints & those who reverence your name, 
both small & great—& for destroying those who destroy the earth.”

Then God’s temple in heaven was opened, & within his temple was seen the ark of his covenant. And there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, an earthquake & a great hailstorm.
Revelation 11:15-19

The Two Witnesses.

And I will give power to my two witnesses, & they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth.”

These men have power to shut up the sky so that it will not rain during the time they are prophesying; & they have power to turn the waters into blood & to strike the earth with every kind of plague as often as they want.

Now when they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up from the Abyss will attack them, & overpower & kill them. Their bodies will lie in the street of the great city, which is figuratively called Sodom & Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified. For three & a half days men from every people, tribe, language & nation will gaze on their bodies & refuse them burial. The inhabitants of the earth will gloat over them & will celebrate by sending each other gifts, because these two prophets had tormented those who live on the earth.

But after the three & a half days a breath of life from God entered them, & they stood on their feet, & terror struck those who saw them. Then they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here.” And they went up to heaven in a cloud, while their enemies looked on.

At that very hour there was a severe earthquake & a tenth of the city collapsed. SEVEN THOUSAND people WERE KILLED in the earthquake, & the SURVIVORS were terrified and GAVE GLORY TO THE GOD OF HEAVEN.

The SECOND WOE has PASSED; the THIRD WOE is COMING soon.
Revelation 11:3, 11:7-14

NO MORE DELAY!!!

And he swore by him who lives for ever and ever, who created the heavens and all that is in them, the earth and all that is in it, and the sea and all that is in it, and said, “THERE WILL BE NO MORE DELAY! But in the days when the seventh angel is about to sound his trumpet, the mystery of God will be accomplished, just as he announced to his servants the prophets.”
Revelation 10:6-7

THE SECOND WOE

The SIXTH ANGEL sounded his trumpet, & I heard a voice coming from the horns of the golden altar that is before God. It said to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “RELEASE the FOUR ANGELS who are bound at the great river Euphrates.” And the four angels who had been kept ready for this very hour & day & month & year were RELEASED to KILL a THIRD of MANKIND. The number of the mounted troops was two hundred million. I heard their number. 

The horses & riders I saw in my vision looked like this: Their breastplates were fiery red, dark blue, & yellow as sulfur. The heads of the horses resembled the heads of lions, & out of their mouths came fire, smoke & sulfur. A THIRD of MANKIND was KILLED by the THREE PLAGUES of FIRE, SMOKE & SULFUR that came out of their mouths. The power of the horses was in their mouths & in their tails; for their tails were like snakes, having heads with which they inflict injury.

The rest of mankind that were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the work of their hands; they did not stop worshiping demons, & idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone & wood—idols that cannot see or hear or walk. Nor did they repent of their murders, their magic arts, their sexual immorality or their thefts.
Revelation 9:13-21

THE FIRST WOE

The FIFTH ANGEL sounded his trumpet, & I saw A STAR THAT HAD FALLEN FROM THE SKY TO THE EARTH. The Star Was Given the Key To The Shaft of the Abyss. When He Opened the Abyss, Smoke Rose from it like the smoke from a gigantic furnace. The Sun & Sky were Darkened by the smoke from the Abyss. And Out Of The Smoke Locusts Came Down upon the earth And Were Given Power like that of scorpions of the earth. They were told not To Harm the grass of the earth or any plant or tree, but only those People Who Did Not Have The Seal Of God On Their Foreheads. They were Not Given Power To Kill them, but Only To Torture Them For Five Months. And the agony they suffered was like that of the sting of a scorpion when it strikes a man. During Those Days Men Will Seek Death, But Will Not Find It; they will long to die, but death will elude them.

The locusts looked like horses prepared for battle. On their heads they wore something like crowns of gold, & their faces resembled human faces. Their hair was like women’s hair, & their teeth were like lions’ teeth. They had breastplates like breastplates of iron, & the sound of their wings was like the thundering of many horses & chariots rushing into battle. They had tails & stings like scorpions, & in their tails they had power to torment people for five months. They had as king over them the angel of the Abyss, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, & in Greek, Apollyon.

The FIRST WOE IS PAST; Two Other Woes Are Yet To Come.
Revelation 9:1-12

The Trumpets

Then the SEVEN ANGELS WHO HAD THE SEVEN TRUMPETS prepared to sound them.

The FIRST ANGEL sounded his trumpet, and THERE CAME HAIL AND FIRE MIXED WITH BLOOD, and it was hurled down upon the earth. A third of the earth was burned up, a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up.

The SECOND ANGEL sounded his trumpet, and something like A HUGE MOUNTAIN, ALL ABLAZE, WAS THROWN INTO THE SEA. A third of the sea turned into blood, a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.

The THIRD ANGEL sounded his trumpet, and A GREAT STAR, BLAZING LIKE A TORCH, FELL FROM THE SKY on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water—the name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters turned bitter, and many people died from the waters that had become bitter.

The FOURTH ANGEL sounded his trumpet, and A THIRD OF THE SUN WAS STRUCK, A THIRD OF THE MOON, AND A THIRD OF THE STARS, so that a third of them turned dark. A third of the day was without light, and also a third of the night.

As I watched, I heard an eagle that was flying in midair call out in a loud voice: “Woe! Woe! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth, because of the trumpet blasts about to be sounded by the other three angels!”
Revelation 8:6-13

The Seventh Seal & the Golden Censer

When he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.
And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and to them were given seven trumpets.
Another angel, who had a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense to offer, with the prayers of all the saints, on the golden altar before the throne. The smoke of the incense, together with the prayers of the saints, went up before God from the angel’s hand. Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and hurled it on the earth; and there came peals of thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning and an earthquake.
Revelation 8:1-5

The Great Multitude in White Robes

Then one of the elders asked me, “These in white robes—who are they, & where did they come from?”
I answered, “Sir, you know.”
And he said, “These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes & made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore,
“they are before the throne of God and serve him day and night in his temple;
and he who sits on the throne will spread his tent over them.
Never again will they hunger;
never again will they thirst.
The sun will not beat upon them,
nor any scorching heat.
For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd;
he will lead them to springs of living water.
And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”
Revelation 7:13-17

Praise, Glory, Wisdom, Thanks, Honor, Power And Strength Be To Our God

And they cried out in a loud voice:
“Salvation belongs to our God,
who sits on the throne,
and to the Lamb.”


All the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures. They fell down on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, saying:
“Amen!
Praise and glory
and wisdom and thanks and honor
and power and strength
be to our God for ever and ever.
Amen!”
Revelation 7:10-12

Servants of God sealed.

After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth to prevent any wind from blowing on the land or on the sea or on any tree. Then I saw another angel coming up from the east, having the seal of the living God. He called out in a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm the land and the sea: “Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees until we put a seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God ” Then I heard the number of those who were sealed: 144,000 from all the tribes of Israel.
Judah, Reuben, Gad, Asher, Naphtali, Manasseh, Simeon, Levi, Issachar, Zebulun, Joseph & Benjamin; 12,000 from each tribe.
Revelation 7:1-8

Opening Of The Seven Seals, Are You Ready?

1st seal - white horse

• Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest.

2nd seal - fiery red horse

• Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make people kill each other. To him was given a large sword.

3rd seal - black horse

• Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, “Two pounds of wheat for a day’s wages, and six pounds of barley for a day’s wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!”

4th seal- pale horse

• Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.

5th seal- under the altar were souls of those slain because of the word of God & their testimony.

• They called out in a loud voice, “How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?” Then each of them was given a white robe, and they were told to wait a little longer, until the full number of their fellow servants, their brothers and sisters, were killed just as they had been.

6th seal- There was a great earthquake. The sun turned black, the moon turned blood red & the stars fell to earth.

• The heavens receded like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place.
• Then the kings of the earth, the princes, the generals, the rich, the mighty, and everyone else, both slave and free, hid in caves and among the rocks of the mountains. They called to the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! For the great day of their wrath has come, and who can withstand it?”

Revelation 6:1-17

God is not mad at you. He's mad about you!

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Jeremiah 29:11

Jesus has triumphed, He is worthy.

Then one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.”


And they sang a new song:
“You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals,
because you were slain,
and with your blood you purchased men for God from every tribe and language and people and nation.
You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God,
and they will reign on the earth.”


In a loud voice they sang:
“Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain,
to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!”


Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, singing:
“To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power,
for ever and ever!”
The four living creatures said, “Amen,” and the elders fell down and worshiped.
Revelation 5:5, 5:9-10, 5:12-14

A Shelter in the Time of Storm

The Lord's our Rock, in Him we hide,
A Shelter in the time of storm;
Secure whatever ill betide,
A Shelter in the time of storm.

Chorus:
O, Jesus is a Rock in a weary land,
A weary land, a weary land;
O, Jesus is a Rock in a weary land,
A Shelter in the time of storm.

A shade by day, defence by night,
A Shelter in the time of storm;
No fears alarm, no foes afright,
A Shelter in the time of storm.

The raging storms may round us beat,
A Shelter in the time of storm
We'll never leave our safe retreat,
A Shelter in the time of storm.

O Rock divine, O Refuge dear,
A Shelter in the time of storm;
Be Thou our Helper ever near,
A Shelter in the time of storm.

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
he restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
Psalms 23:1-6

THE THRONE IN HEAVEN

At once I was in the Spirit, and there before me was a throne in heaven with someone sitting on it. And the one who sat there had the appearance of jasper and carnelian. A rainbow, resembling an emerald, encircled the throne. Surrounding the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and seated on them were twenty-four elders. They were dressed in white and had crowns of gold on their heads. From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings and peals of thunder. Before the throne, seven lamps were blazing. These are the seven spirits of God. Also before the throne there was what looked like a sea of glass, clear as crystal.

In the center, around the throne, were four living creatures, and they were covered with eyes, in front and in back. The first living creature was like a lion, the second was like an ox, the third had a face like a man, the fourth was like a flying eagle. Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under his wings. Day and night they never stop saying:

“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty,
who was, and is, and is to come.”

Whenever the living creatures give glory, honor and thanks to him who sits on the throne and who lives for ever and ever, the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne, and worship him who lives for ever and ever. They lay their crowns before the throne and say:

“You are worthy, our Lord and God, 
to receive glory and honor and power,
for you created all things,
and by your will they were created and have their being.”
Revelation 4:2-11

ARE YOU HOT OR COLD?

I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth. 


GOD'S ADVICE
Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest, and repent. Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.


GOD'S PROMISE
To him who overcomes, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I overcame and sat down with my Father on his throne.
Revelation 3:15-16, 3:19-20, 3:21

God Knows Your Deeds, He Will Judge & He Has A Promise

GOD KNOWS YOUR DEEDS
I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name.
Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come upon the whole world to test those who live on the earth.


GOD WILL JUDGE
I will make those who are of the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews though they are not, but are liars—I will make them come and fall down at your feet and acknowledge that I have loved you.

GOD'S PROMISE
I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown. Him who overcomes I will make a pillar in the temple of my God. Never again will he leave it. I will write on him the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from my God; and I will also write on him my new name. 
Revelation 3:8, 3:10, 3:9, 3:11-13

With God all things are Possible.

Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
Matthew 19:26

God Knows What You Used To Do

GOD KNOWS WHAT YOU USED TO DO
I know your deeds, your love and faith, your service and perseverance, and that you are now doing more than you did at first.

GOD DOESN'T TOLERATE SEXUAL IMMORALITY
Nevertheless, I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess. By her teaching she misleads my servants into sexual immorality and the eating of food sacrificed to idols. I have given her time to repent of her immorality, but she is unwilling. So I will cast her on a bed of suffering, and I will make those who commit adultery with her suffer intensely, unless they repent of her ways. I will strike her children dead. Then all the churches will know that I am he who searches hearts and minds, and I will repay each of you according to your deeds.
GOD'S PROMISE
To him who overcomes and does my will to the end, I will give authority over the nations—
‘He will rule them with an iron scepter; he will dash them to pieces like pottery’ —
just as I have received authority from my Father.
I will also give him the morning star.
Revelation 2:19, 2:20-23, 2:26-28

God Knows The Environment Where You Live Very Well

GOD KNOWS THE ENVIRONMENT WHERE YOU LIVE VERY WELL
I know where you live—where Satan has his throne. Yet you remain true to my name. You did not renounce your faith in me, even in the days of Antipas, my faithful witness, who was put to death in your city—where Satan lives.

YOU & YOUR NEIGHBOURHOOD, WHICH TEACHING DO YOU HOLD ON TO?
Nevertheless, I have a few things against you: You have people there who hold to the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to entice the Israelites to sin by eating food sacrificed to idols and by committing sexual immorality.
GOD'S PROMISE TO OVERCOMERS
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give him a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to him who receives it.
Revelation 2:13, 2:14, 2:17

Sustain Me According To Your Promise, And I Will Live

Sustain me according to your promise, and I will live;

do not let my hopes be dashed.

Uphold me, and I will be delivered;

I will always have regard for your decrees.

Psalms 119:116-117

God Knows Your Struggles & Has a Promise If You Remain Faithful

GOD KNOWS YOUR STRUGGLES
I know your afflictions and your poverty—yet you are rich! I know the slander of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan. Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer. I tell you, the devil will put some of you in prison to test you, and you will suffer persecution for ten days. Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you the crown of life.

PROMISE TO THEM THAT REMAIN FAITHFUL
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes will not be hurt at all by the second death.
Revelation 2:9-11

God Knows Your Strengths & Weaknesses & He Has A Promise

GOD KNOWS YOUR STRENGTHS
I know your deeds, your hard work and your perseverance.
I know that you cannot tolerate wicked men, that you have tested those who claim to be apostles but are not, and have found them false.
You have persevered and have endured hardships for my name, and have not grown weary.
Revelation 2:2-3

GOD KNOWS YOUR WEAKNESSES
Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken your first love.
Remember the height from which you have fallen!
Repent and do the things you did at first.
If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place.
Revelation 2:4-5

GOD'S PROMISE
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
To him who overcomes, I will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.
Revelation 2:7
