(3) Back to WHO POURS THE BOWLS:
There is in Chapter 17:1 a VERY IMPORTANT message. In it we see “ONE OF THE ANGELS WHO HAD THE SEVEN VIALS” who comes to TALK WITH JOHN. In Revelation John represents the church in the flesh, this side of the veil. So, it is clear that the angels who pour the...
Where are the plagues poured?
Rev 16:1 states in a GENERAL way that they are poured on “the earth” – the establish (Christian) world or society. It will be noted, however that each bowl is poured on a DIFFERENT PART of the earth.
The “earth” is divided up into different symbols so that we can...
What are the Plagues?
First, let us define some terms.
Brethren sometimes are a bit careless or generalizing in the use of terms. With prophecy however it is imperative that we be quite specific for the sake of accuracy. For instance, we speak (with regards to Rev 20) of the binding of Satan...
We continue with our look at some of the horrible events which have taken place in the 20th century.
5. Cambodia’s killing fields (1975–1979)
Death toll: around 2 million deaths

The following article entitled: “How Genocide and Human Depravity drove History’s Bloodiest Century” written by Charles Stephen, denotes some of horrific events of the 20th century.

General Remarks on the Timing of the Plagues
Please look carefully at Rev 18:4
“And I heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues.”
Several deductions seem either inevitable or likely in its words. It...
Excerpts for this study were taken from a discourse given by Brother David Doran on the plagues (edited).
When are they?
There are basically three views on the subject.
1) Some believe the plagues are all in the past. We don’t feel comfortable with this view since Rev 15:1 states that these...
We continue with Brother Hagensick’s discourse on the seven last plagues.
1 Cor 15:52 speaks of the resurrection of the saints as being “at the last trump.” The term “last trump” implies the last of a series.
Since the first letter to the church in Corinth was written long before Revelation...
“And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God”. —Rev 15:1
The following excerpt was taken from a discourse by Brother Carl Hagensick entitled, “The Seven Lasts Plagues”, which we believe will prove...

VERSE 8 “The temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from His power, and no one was able to enter the temple till the seven plagues of the seven angels were completed.”

This...
Revelation Chapter 15
VERSE 5 “After these things I looked, and behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened.”
AFTER THESE THINGS I LOOKED:
In essence, John goes back to LOOK at what he had seen. His traditional re-focus expression now gives us another look at...
Revelation Chapter 15
VERSE 4 “Who shall not fear You, O Lord, and glorify Your name? For You alone are holy. For all nations shall come and worship before You, For Your judgments have been manifested.”
“The AIM of the saints throughout life is that all will glorify God’s name. Now the process...
Revelation Chapter 15
VERSE 2 and 3 continued “And I saw something like a sea of glass mingled with fire, and those who have the victory over the beast, over his image and over his mark and over the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass, having harps of God. They sing the song of...

VERSE 3 “They sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying: “Great and marvelous are Your works, Lord God Almighty! Just and true are Your ways, O King of the saints!”

This is NOT the new, personal song of Rev 14:3. Only the...
