GINOLJC, to all.

Revelation 16:11 "And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds”.
here the term “blasphemed” in the Greek means, G987 βλασφημέω blasphemeo (ɓlas-fee-me'-ō) v.
1. to revile, to speak abusively against, to malign.
2. to vilify, to injure someone's reputation, to defame.
3. (specially) to speak irreverently.
[from G989]
KJV: (speak) blaspheme(-er, -mously, -my), defame, rail on, revile, speak evil

"revile" mean, criticize in an abusive or angrily insulting manner. “malign” means, evil in nature or effect. vilify means to speak or write about in an abusively disparaging manner. scripture, Acts 13:47 "For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth. verse 48 "And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed. verse 49 "And the word of the Lord was published throughout all the region. verse 50 "But the Jews stirred up the devout and honourable women, and the chief men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them out of their coasts. verse 51 "But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came unto Iconium. verse 52 "And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Ghost”.

Acts 14:1 "And it came to pass in Iconium, that they went both together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spake, that a great multitude both of the Jews and also of the Greeks believed. verse 2 "But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles, and made their minds evil affected against the brethren”. (BINGO), again, this is against the “unbelieving Jews”, (please note, not all Jews, but the unbelieving ones).

Acts 17:13 "But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was preached of Paul at Berea, they came thither also, and stirred up the people”.

one more to make sure, and many can stop accusing the Roman Catholic church as the seat of the beast, she has he own problems as any other church do. Acts 21:27 "And when the seven days were almost ended, the Jews which were of Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the people, and laid hands on him, verse 28 "Crying out, Men of Israel, help: This is the man, that teacheth all men every where against the people, and the law, and this place: and further brought Greeks also into the temple, and hath polluted this holy place. verse 29 "(For they had seen before with him in the city Trophimus an Ephesian, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.) verse 30 "And all the city was moved, and the people ran together: and they took Paul, and drew him out of the temple: and forthwith the doors were shut. verse 31 "And as they went about to kill him, tidings came unto the chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was in an uproar. verse 32 "Who immediately took soldiers and centurions, and ran down unto them: and when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, they left beating of Paul”. Just as they killed the Christ, and the prophets, so likewise if left to finish the apostles also, which some was killed. but the scriptures are correct, for God will Recompence every work, and words that was spoken.

Revelation 16:12 "And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared”.
This has nothing to do with the actual physical river, the Euphrates, no, not at all. one can clearly see that the RIVER was not dried up , but the “WATER”, was, and not “Water(s). no, not the the actual river itself. the term “GREAT” before it tells us what is being referred to, location. that “GREAT” city Jerusalem, which is in comparison to that Great city that actually sits on the Euphrates. the “WATER” here, and not WATER(S) is their religious system who’s “COVENANT” about to “VANISH AWAY”/”dried up”. for the Greek word here for “dried up” is
G3583 ξηραίνω xeraino (xee-rai'-nō) v.
1. to make dry.
2. (bodily) to wither.
3. (by implication) to waste away.
4. (of harvest) fully ripe, mature.
KJV: dry up, pine away, be ripe, wither (away)

the comparison, or another word for “dried up” as the KJV can translate it as is “Wither (away)”, which means “Vanish Away”.

so what’s the comparison here in Revelation 16:12? the OLD COVENANT is “Vanishing Away” for the the NEW COVENANT, which prepare the way for the King of the east. which from the east is where the “sun” Rises, hence the “SUN” of righteousness can rise in their hearts. let’s see it in scriptures, let us watch and learn.
Hebrews 8:6 "But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.
Hebrews 8:7 "For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.
Hebrews 8:8 "For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: (notice house, not tribes)
Hebrews 8:9 "Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.
Hebrews 8:10 "For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
Hebrews 8:11 "And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.
Hebrews 8:12 "For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
Hebrews 8:13 "In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away”. (BINGO), there it is, “vanish away”, or “dried up”. by making a NEW COVENANT, it “prepares” the “WAY” of the heart and the mind to “REMOVE” the vail that has been over their eyes for so long. and that way is Jesus the Christ, who is the “the kings of the east that might be prepared”, for the Lord, who is our "Daysman" or the "Dayspring", or who we call the “MEDIATOR”, of this New Covenant, that rises up in hearts of men all over the globe. he’s the Bright and morning star who rises in the east, the “SUN” of righteousness. Luke 1:78 "Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us". verse 79 "To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace". here is the revelation of the King of the east, Jesus. "Dayspring",
G395 ἀνατολή anatole (a-na-to-lee') n.
1. a rising of light.
2. (figuratively) dawn.
3. (by implication) the east (also in plural).
[from G393]
KJV: dayspring, east, rising

and in him has made us kings and priest, Revelation 1:6 "And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen".

and by the angel “pouring” out of the vial upon the great river Euphrates”. it’s the old covenant that is vanishing away. as said of the “vail” that is being lifted off their eyes. (see again 2 Corinthians 3:13-18).

so it’s no natural river drying up or some Antichrist from the east, nor is it any great divide of east and west religions, no, it’s the preparing of the hearts which many Jews as well as some Gentiles alike refuses to accept the New mediator and the New covenant of God. some still want to keep the old way of religion. well that’s done away with, or is vanish away in Christ Jesus. for the NEW WAY for all Abrahamic covenant people is by FAITH in Christ JESUS, where all the nations on this planet are blessed of GOD, by THE PROMISE he made in Christ.

next time verses 13-21, which verse 13 need close attention, for many error on this one verse alone. and we’ll finish chapter 16, Lord willing.

GINOLJC, to all. Part 1 of a 3 part to finish up chapter 16
Revelation 16:13 "And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet”.
as we have seen from the previous scriptures, God whole purpose is to take away from us … “our sin” which he did on the cross, the problem is getting some to “believing it”, which is a battle within it self. first, he has to take away all the deception that have been lurking in darkest area of our minds, as to what we has been taught and come to believe. but we all must renew our minds. he exposes our wrong thinking, (hence the renewing of our minds). When our darkness is gone away, then we can receive truth and understanding of his word. now, knowing this, John said that he “saw”, this is a detail end-time scene. for this new scene is supportive of the next few verses that follows. these spirits, foul, demonic spirits which will persuade men, both secular and religious to gather for the day which is call Armageddon. these spirit are from Satan, as legion was one but many, so likewise here, (see Luke 8:26-30). the very next verse shows this, many spirit in men. like frogs, not actual frogs, but “like” frogs, which are their leaping ability from one person to another. supportive scripture, Acts 19:13 "Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth. verse 14 "And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so. verse 15 "And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye? verse 16 "And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded. verse 17 "And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks also dwelling at Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified. verse 18 "And many that believed came, and confessed, and shewed their deeds”.
the term here “leaped” in verse 16 of acts chapter 19 is the Greek word, G2177 ἐφάλλομαι ephallomai (ef-al'-lo-mai) v.
to spring upon.
[from G1909 and G242]
KJV: leap on

this terminology, “to spring upon” as Revelation 16:13 above states, “LIKE FROGS”, is understood as the with great force of swiftness and ease to “overcome” them. prevailed indicate the strength, the force these spirits had, which we will see in the very next verse.

Revelation 16:14 "For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty”.
these seducing spirits will persuade men, and God is going to gather together, in a battle, not in actual hand to hand combat, no, but with their MOUTH, spiritually, as unclean spirits like frogs come out of the “mouth” of the dragon, and out of the “mouth” of the beast, and out of the “mouth” of the false prophet. 2 Corinthians 11:13 &14 "For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. verse 14 "And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.”

1 Timothy 4:1 "Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; verse 2 "Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron".

Mark 13:20 "And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days. verse 21 "And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not: verse 22 "For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect. verse 23 "But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things”. this is how powerful these spirits of persuasion are. even the very elect could be persuaded.

2 Peter 2:1 "But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. this swift destruction is on their own making by being deceived.

Revelation 16:15 "Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame”. This verse explain itself. Christ comes as a thief, meaning appearing at an untimely manner, which no man knows. but until then we’re to fight the good fight of faith, which is a spiritual warfare. notice the keyword here “THEY” see his shame, 1 Thessalonians 5:1 "But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. verse 2 "For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. (and as said the pouring out of the angel, the JUDGMENT sneak up on you like a thief in the night). verse 3 "For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape”. that day comes upon all men which we will see in the coming verses. this happen before he physically comes in his Glorified state of flesh and bones. but at the same time, we the saint of God must be on Guard not to enter into temptation ourselves, (which is not a physical battle, but a spiritual one). Mark 14:38 "Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak”.

Armageddon is a battle for the minds and souls of the unbelieving, not a physical war, but a spiritual one. for the prophet Daniel foretold it. Daniel 7:25 "And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. verse 26 "But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end. verse 27 "And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him. verse 28 "Hitherto is the end of the matter. As for me Daniel, my cogitations much troubled me, and my countenance changed in me: but I kept the matter in my heart”. (BINGO), and that’s where the battle is at, in the hearts of men. for the word Daniel used of “wear”, as in wear out the saints of the most high, is the Hebrew word H1080 בְּלָא bla' (bel-aw') v.
to afflict.
[(Aramaic) corresponding to H1086 (but used only in a mental sense)]
KJV: wear out.
Root(s): H1086

There it is a “mental” sense. where mental means relating to the mind.
Ephesians 6:10 "Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. verse 11 "Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. verse 12 "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. verse 13 "Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand”.
NOW LETS SEE IT the Armageddon and where it is at..

Revelation 16:16 "And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon”.
The very first thing that one need to understand is what is "Armageddon”. the very first misconception, many think or was taught is that it’s a physical place. ERROR, the verse itself tells us what “ Armageddon” means, listen to the verse, “And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon”. understand, Armageddon simply means a “PLACE” in the Hebrew tongue. the term “PLACE”, here is the Greek word, G5117 τόπος topos (to'-pos) n.
1. a spot, i.e. location (as a position, home, tract, etc.).
2. (figuratively) condition, opportunity.
3. (specially) a scabbard.
{general in space, but limited by occupancy; whereas G5561 is a large but participle locality}
[apparently a primary word]
KJV: coast, licence, place, X plain, quarter, + rock, room, where
Compare: G5561

place is a position of reasoning, not an actual physical location. meaning the action of thinking about something in a logical, sensible way. scripture, Ephesians 4:27 "Neither give place to the devil”. or give the devil no “opportunity” to deceive you. this is done by the renewing of one’s mind in the Spirit. STOP, what did Daniel say? Daniel 7:25 "And he shall speak great words, (out of the MOUTH), against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High”, and we know that “wear” means MENTAL, or of the MIND. so a change of mind is at hand. so the term place/Armageddon is of the MIND. So Armageddon is not an actual “PLACE” of geographical location on the surface of the earth. no, as the scriptures states, “a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon”. Armageddon in the Hebrew tongue means “place”. this is not a natural geographical location on the earth. this battle is for the hearts, the minds, and souls of the unbelievers in the world.

unlike the actual battle of Gog, and Magog which is after the 1,000 year Millennium, Revelation 20:7 "And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, verse 8 "And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea”. but the battle of Armageddon is before the 1,000 year Millennium, (THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT), keep this in mind, because it settle the question of who is attending the GREAT “DINNER” and who is attending the GREAT “SUPPER”. the DINNER is not the SUPPER.
so Armageddon is not the same as Gog and Magog gathering to battle. God is gathering many into a “PLACE” called Armageddon, (which is spiritual in nature). the Devil is gathering many into Gog and Magog, (which is physical) in nature.

Now we can understand the parable of the wheat and the tares. listen and understand,
Matthew 13:24 "Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:
Matthew 13:25 "But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
Matthew 13:26 "But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
Matthew 13:27 "So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?
Matthew 13:28 "He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
Matthew 13:29 "But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
Matthew 13:30 "Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn”. (BINGO) it is the “tares” who is gathered first. but gathered together for what?
first lets examine what a tare is. it's the Greek word, G2215 ζιζάνιον zizanion (ziy-za'-niy-on) n.
1. darnel, a poisonous ryegrass weed (a false grain).
2. (specially) darnel, a weed that greatly resembles wheat until ripe. (that’s the two kinds of People, ripe and fully ripe). Close examination will often fail to discern the difference until its black grain appears. It is most toxic just before harvest. Its poison causes lethargy, deep sleep, and even death.
3. (figuratively) wicked people sown by Satan amidst the Redeemed of God, that until harvest, have a resemblence of godliness (but you shall know them by their fruit).
[of uncertain origin]
KJV: tares

now the gathering of the TARES”, listen and Learn.
Matthew 24:36 "But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. verse 37 "But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. verse 38 "For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, verse 39 "And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. verse 40 "Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. verse 41 "Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. verse 42 "Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. verse 43 "But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. verse 44 "Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh”.

notice the used of the term”THEY” which was taken, 1 Thessalonians 5:1 "But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. verse 2 "For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. verse 3 "For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape”.
they are the ones eating and drinking in Matthew 24:38. but notice how and what “THEY” are TAKEN for? for the Greek word for “Taken” here is G3880 παραλαμβάνω paralambano (pa-ra-lam-ɓa'-nō) v.
1. to receive near, i.e. associate with oneself (in any familiar or intimate act or relation).
2. (by analogy) to assume an office.
3. (figuratively) to learn.
[from G3844 and G2983]
KJV: receive, take (unto, with)

to receive near? associate with oneself (in any familiar or intimate act or relation). to learn?
Romans 11:25 "For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
verse 26 "And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: verse 27 "For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins. verse 28 "As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: (one need to read that again), but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes. verse 29 "For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance. verse 30 "For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief: verse 31 "Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy. verse 32 "For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all”. (BINGO), now these tares was bound for the fire right, 1 Corinthians 3:12 "Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; verse 13 "Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. verse 14 "If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. verse 15 "If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire". listen and learn, Matthew 12:29 "Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house". what happen to the tares? they was "bound/bind.

Revelation 16:17 "And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done”.
Why into the air and not the earth? Ephesians 2:2 "Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience. for he is JUDGE, John 12:26 "If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour. verse 27 "Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour. verse 28 "Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again. verse 29 "The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him. verse 30 "Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes. verse 31 "Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. verse 32 "And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me”. the final Judgment is on the devil himself, not destroyed, but his "WORKS". this happens before the coming of the Lord. for as said, the pouring out is gradual. for he, the devil is to be finally confined for a 1,000 years..

Revelation 16:18 "And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great”.
Judgment has arrived fully. for both the Jews and the Gentiles that are not in christ Jesus. and there was great confusion, sudden destruction is upon them, ( the destruction of false doctrine). Jeremiah 30:5 "For thus saith the LORD; We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace. verse 6 "Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth travail with child? wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness? verse 7 "Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble; but he shall be saved out of it verse 8 "For it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bonds, and strangers shall no more serve themselves of him”. with Satan now being bound, a turning of the Jews to the Lord Jesus as their King and messiah.

Revelation 16:19 "And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath”.
Isaiah 24:10 "The city of confusion is broken down: every house is shut up, that no man may come in. Psalms 75:7 "But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another. verse 8 "For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same: but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them”.

change is hard to accept, and many many more hard thing to accept. but it is DONE, as Daniel said, the Judgment is set. Psalms 71:19 "Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high, who hast done great things: O God, who is like unto thee! verse 20 "Thou, which hast shewed me great and sore troubles, shalt quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth”. this is also important as to who is attending the “GREAT SUPPER”.

Revelation 16:20 "And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found”.
all the false doctrine and beliefs are removed from the land. for the Lord Jesus rules. and here is the final removal, Hard saying Justified.

Revelation 16:21 "And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great”.
Great Hail is very hard, Psalms 60:3 "Thou hast shewed thy people hard things: thou hast made us to drink the wine of astonishment”.
they endure such troubles as made them tremble, and was stupefied in disbelief, God who took away their senses, and made them unfit for anything, (a reprobate mind), being smitten with madness, blindness, and astonishment of heart, but was delivered in the times of troubles.
new things are hard to understand and accept, 2 Peter 3:14 "Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless. verse 15 "And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; verse 16 "As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction”.

so the scriptures are true, the STRONGMAN (spiritual wickedness), must be bound first. that's where the Battle is at, for the minds and hearts of unbelieving men. Matthew 12:25 "And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:
Matthew 12:26 "And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?
Matthew 12:27 "And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.
Matthew 12:28 "But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.
Matthew 12:29 "Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house". amen.

“The Fall of Religious Babylonia”
Revelation 17:1 "And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters”.
Now John is getting an explanation of the Judgments rendered, against the “GREAT” whore. Again this is not the Roman Catholic Church. lets see who God is using this terminology with. Judges 2:14 "And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of spoilers that spoiled them, and he sold them into the hands of their enemies round about, so that they could not any longer stand before their enemies. verse 15 "Whithersoever they went out, the hand of the LORD was against them for evil, as the LORD had said, and as the LORD had sworn unto them: and they were greatly distressed. verse 16 "Nevertheless the LORD raised up judges, which delivered them out of the hand of those that spoiled them. verse 17 "And yet they would not hearken unto their judges, but they went a whoring after other gods, and bowed themselves unto them: they turned quickly out of the way which their fathers walked in, obeying the commandments of the LORD; but they did not so”.

Hosea 9:1 "Rejoice not, O Israel, for joy, as other people: for thou hast gone a whoring from thy God, thou hast loved a reward upon every cornfloor”.

this religious system, Babylon, (rebellion aganist God), started a long time ago when the nation of Israel rejected God from being their King, and they wanted a king over them like the other nations.
1 Samuel 8:4 "Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together, and came to Samuel unto Ramah,
1 Samuel 8:5 "And said unto him, Behold, thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: now make us a king to judge us like all the nations.
1 Samuel 8:6 "But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto the LORD.
1 Samuel 8:7 "And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them”.

the land of Israel and the city Jerusalem sits on many waters, meaning “Trade” route. many people came and went through Jerusalem. but the angel gives more detail of the “GREAT” Whore.

Revelation 17:2 "With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication”.
fornication has always, figuratively speaking, been associated with idolatry in the scriptures. and because Israel failed to remove all of the inhabitants of the the promise land, they has been a thorn in her side ever since. Numbers 33:55 "But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you; then it shall come to pass, that those which ye let remain of them shall be pricks in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell. verse 56 "Moreover it shall come to pass, that I shall do unto you, as I thought to do unto them”. she has,and have taken up their idols, and even worship their gods, and there was many of them.

Revelation 17:3 "So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns”.
“carried in the spirit”, John was already in the spirit, see chapter 4, but now in a visionary manner is shown a Woman/Church, a religious system forming. the nation of Israel. supportive scripture, Acts 7:37 "This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear. verse 38 "This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the mount Sina, and with our fathers: who received the lively oracles to give unto us”. rebellion started way long a time ago, and by sitting upon the beast it is symbolic of the source of her authority, and power.
Destructiveness is her way, Isaiah 1:9 "Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah”. Romans 3:16 "Destruction and misery are in their ways: verse 17 "And the way of peace have they not known: verse 18 "There is no fear of God before their eyes”. this is the same old beast, just with different names as to whom he can deceive, that old serpent call the devil. but John is shown clearly where she reside, the “GREAT CITY” Jerusalem

Revelation 17:4 "And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication”.
This further gives identify of this woman/church. Exodus 28:2 "And thou shalt make holy garments for Aaron thy brother for glory and for beauty. verse 3 "And thou shalt speak unto all that are wise hearted, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they may make Aaron's garments to consecrate him, that he may minister unto me in the priest's office. verse 4 "And these are the garments which they shall make; a breastplate, and an ephod, and a robe, and a broidered coat, a mitre, and a girdle: and they shall make holy garments for Aaron thy brother, and his sons, that he may minister unto me in the priest's office 5 "And they shall take gold, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen verse 6 "And they shall make the ephod of gold, of blue, and of purple, of scarlet, and fine twined linen, with cunning work”. the cup of iniquity.

Revelation 17:5 "And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
upon her head is above it, the mitre. Exodus 28:36 "And thou shalt make a plate of pure gold, and grave upon it, like the engravings of a signet, HOLINESS TO THE LORD. verse 37 "And thou shalt put it on a blue lace, that it may be upon the mitre; upon the forefront of the mitre it shall be. verse 38 "And it shall be upon Aaron's forehead, that Aaron may bear the iniquity of the holy things, which the children of Israel shall hallow in all their holy gifts; and it shall be always upon his forehead, that they may be accepted before the LORD” . a mystery is a secret. the MOTHER of Harlots, so she have “daughters”, being a mother. who dress and act just like her, the abomination of the earth. scripture, Isaiah 1:21 "How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers”. (BINGO).

Revelation 17:6 "And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration”.
Revelation 18:24 states, and we know from other scriptures, "And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth”. she had killed so many until she was intoxicated with their blood. she had the blood of the saints, the martyrs of the Lord Jesus and himself. but death rage in her for there was many wars, blood shed, in the name of religion.
our brother Stephen is most notiable of the shedding of the saints blood.
Acts 7:55 "But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,
Acts 7:56 "And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.
Acts 7:57 "Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord,
Acts 7:58 "And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man's feet, whose name was Saul.
Acts 7:59 "And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.
Acts 7:60 "And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep".

and the Lord Jesus, as we know himself was killed at Jerusalem, Revelation 2:13 "I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth”. this woman is clearly identified.

Revelation 17:7 "And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns”.
John in other words couldn't believe what he was seeing, until one looks in the mirror, James 1:23 "For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: verse 24 "For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was".

The Opening of the Book or the Letter begins with who this letter is about and from. the book or this letter is about the Lord Jesus Christ himself. meaning there is some revelation about the Lord Jesus that we need to know. (a) of him being the Christ. (b) of the Lord Jesus being the NEW CREATION. (c) the Lord Jesus return as God Almighty. from his earthly beginning of flesh and bone with blood, to his glorified stated in flesh and bone without blood. this is interesting in the fact that God gave the Lord Jesus revelations about himself. to understand this lack of knowledge about himself concerning certain future events to come, see the topic question “if the Lord Jesus is God how come he don’t know his return date?”. with that answered, we will continue our present study.

This revelation is to show us the things that must shortly come to pass. question, what things?, the future. but if it was shortly in John’s day, now over two thousand year have passed, what do shortly means?. answer, 2 Peter 3:8 "But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day”. from this verse alone, it have only been approx two days (in God time) that have past. also verse 1 states, “he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John”. the question comes to mind “who is the he that sent his angel?”. good question, was it the one called father?, or the one called the Son?. this son is one of God's title in the Latter day, Hebrews 1:1 "God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,Hebrews 1:2 "Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
Hebrews 1:3 "Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

conclusion to verse 1: the Lord Jesus is God, what a revelation. at the very first verse we get a revelation of a life time.

Jesus does not return as God.

Jesus came to Earth...
Without His Reputation...Power.
Was called:
The Son of God.
The Son of man.
THEN revealed bit by bit His Power from God in Heaven.
He left Earth as the Son of man.
He shall return as the Son of man WITH His Power.

Matt 24:
[30] And then shall appear the sign of the Son of manin heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

Converted men, raised immortal shall See Him as He is Glorious God...

Mortal men shall see Him, ( with mortal eyes) as a man, the Son of man.

It's a matter of what applies to which individuals and WHO can see what.

Glory to God,
Taken

First thanks for the reply.
the Son of man is Spirit, (from Heaven), Son of God is Flesh and bone "NATURAL", with blood which is the life of the flesh.

TRUE when God came into this world, he G2758 κενόω kenoo (ke-no-ō') v. himself in that flesh that was in mary.
1. to make empty.
2. (figuratively) to abase, neutralize, falsify.
[from G2756]
KJV: make (of none effect, of no reputation, void), be in vain

Philippians 2:7 "But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

in order for him to neutralize his powers, be first "diversified" himself according to the Spirit. and when he G2758 κενόω kenoo (ke-no-ō') his "diversified" self that's when God was made flesh.

so yes, it's the Son of MAN in his Glorified state, or Glorified body, all eyes will see this coming, (Rev 1:7), as God who is returning for "his" elect.

Thanks for the reply.

GINOLJC, to all. chapter 17 in three part to complete it.
What happen to the beast
Revelation 17:8 "The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is”.
in these coming verses, the angel show John what I call an embedded revelation within a Revelation vision. what we mean is information within one vision referring to something else concerning the vision shown.
the beast that was, and is not, WHY? because her kingdom is taken away from her because of A. the control over her now, is the ROMAN EMPIRE with it’s kings or Caesar rule. and destruction come to both of them. B. because of the Seventh King who is born within her mists, takes her power away. hence the ascending out of the bottomless pit, (the rebellion, or the making of war against the saint of the Lord). but will go into perdition herself also. the the none elect, the reprobates, the men of the world look in amazement as how these people, Israel, who suffered the deadly head wound to death, in 70AD, (their religious system destroyed), and now is a nation again, and prime set to rebuild their temple, they wonder when they behold the country that went through so much yet survive, and is now waiting for her deadly wound to healed, the rebuilding of the temple.

Revelation 17:9 "And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth”.
John, and any and all who reads this Book of Revelation , must have the wisdom and the Knowledge of the Lord JESUS God almighty to understand what is about to be given. one must have the wisdom of God and the MIND of CHRIST to understand what is now about to be revealed, and embedded in this vision. and we as Christians have, repeat, have the mind of christ, with his wisdom to understand what was shown.

1 Corinthians 2:12 "Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
1 Corinthians 2:13 "Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
1 Corinthians 2:14 "But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
1 Corinthians 2:15 "But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
1 Corinthians 2:16 "For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ”.

so, by having the mind of Christ we can understand what the angel is about to tell John, and us, concerning kings and kingdoms. “The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth” as said, were she sits, is symbolic in authority only. again view the notes on Revelation Chapter 13 verses 1- 3 concerning this beast and its heads. and mountains are destroying works that the devil uses. as in false religion of teaching and doctrines, ect…

these next two verse go in sequence to reveal the 7th. and 8th. king and his kingdom.
Revelation 17:10 "And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space”.
here again is the mind of wisdom that is needed to understand what the angel is showing John in this vision, John is shown the history of five kingdom upon the earth, and one presently reigning. “FIVE ARE FALLEN”. the five that are fallen are, Egypt, Assyria, Babylonia, Medo-Persia, and Greece, and the one that is, the sixth, in John’s day is the ROMAN EMPIRE. but John is given more information which again takes the wisdom, and the mind of Christ to reveal it. note: John saw and wrote, “and the other is not yet come”. but is there not yet two more Kings to come? yes, according verse 11 below. so why do John refers to the seventh and the eighth as “the other?”, when it's two? again the wisdom and the mind of God is needed to understand this. but John was given more information about the seventh King,”he must continue a short space”. well lets see it in the next verse. and in part II below.

Part II, "the eighth King revealed of the seven".
Revelation 17:11 "And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition”.
in verse 9 it said, “And here is the mind which hath wisdom”. in our English grammar, which if we read the verse here as is, it do not clearly reveals what is spoken, so we will reveal it to you in a way so that you can clearly understand. this is what I call embedded revelation. lets look at the entire scripture and learn.

the verse said, ”And the beast that was, and is not,” but the middle of the verse is the embedded wisdom, “even he is the eighth, and is of the seven” we will color code this blue for future reference, and now the last part of the scripture, “and goeth into perdition”. lets make it clear. a King was born in the mist of the beast, in the land of Israel. that was and is not because the Roman empire now at that time ruled. but because of this seventh King, he overcomes the beast, and this kingdom. now we will give you the answer, and show it to you plainly as who is this eighth and of the seven, King. the seventh King that was born in the mist of Israel where the beast reside while the Roman empire rule, is none other than the Lord Jesus Christ himself. who was “BORN KING”, according to the flesh. see Matthews Chapter 2: verses 1-12.

verse 10 above said, ”and when he cometh, he must continue a short space”, which he did because he was cut off, crucified in the flesh. but he rose the third day resurrected, and glorified. the resurrected glorified Christ is the eighth King, eternal, immortal, and his KINGDOM IS ETERNAL. lets see it clearly.

going back to our verse here, "And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition”. lets see how, by wisdom we get the understanding of this King. first, by taking the scriptures apart one can clearly see the seventh and eighth King. as said watch the blue section . "And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition”. if one take this blue section out then the scriptures reads as this, ,"And the beast that was, and is not, and goeth into perdition”. this is what happens to the beast, but the revelation is this, place the blue section back in but at the end, and it reads as follows, "And the beast that was, and is not, and goeth into perdition, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven”. see it now. he is not the Woman herself, but “he” the King that was born in the MIST of her. how do we know this? because the scripture states, “OF” the seven. which might make one think, is he Jesus, one of the seven heads? NO, the Lord Jesus is “OF” the tribe of Juda in the Land of Israel where the beast reside, he came out of JUDA, from the remnant of the nation called Israel, where the beast reside, (which tried to kill him as a babe, again see matthews chapter 2). for no Kingdom can have two Kings. supportive scripture, Hebrews 7:14 "For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood”. so no, our Lord did not “come from” Juda, but “out OF” Juda. meaning out of the nation, of Israel, where the beast reside. for he was “BORN KING”, meaning he's the seventh King, according to the flesh. this is the reason why the wise men came to worship the new Born KING. as King he is the seventh, and why states of, because of his cutting off or his crucifixion, he now is risen and live a NEW LIFE by the Spirit, the New eternal Life in “flesh and Bones”, (hence he's the eighth of the seven who was King and was Killed. and having the same flesh and bones, (which did not see corruption) he is of the seventh King, because his flesh and bones that was resurrected is now glorified. for he was the seven, in succession, the seventh King. five has fallen and one is, he is that seven, showing completness in the flesh, the son of David.

when I first showed this many years ago, some accused me of changing the scriptures, they said, I added or either I took away from the scriptures. NO, it was just show how to understand the verse, that’s all. for nothing was taken away, nor added, just arranged to show the true meaning, all of the scripture is still there, nothing is changed. as the angels said, “and here is the mind which hath wisdom”.

the eighth King has been a mystery to a many of people for a a long time, but the word of God reveals it. as the scripture states, the eighth is of the seven, for it was the remnant that he came out “of”. he is the first stone in the building of this NEW EVERLASTING KINGDOM, which the Harlot rejected. and he’s been adding to that foundation ever since after his resurrection. so when he finish, the wedding supper will commence.

now to prove that he is the eighth King, lets go back to the book of Genesis. this is going to surprise many, but some may know it. question, how many day are there in a week?. Genesis Chapter 17 starting at verse 10 " This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; (Notice seed). Every man child among you shall be circumcised. And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you. And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any stranger, which is not of thy seed". Eight in the Bible is symbolic for Covenant. watch, "circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you. And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any stranger, which is not of thy seed”.

Abraham got the promise by faith, before he was circumcise, and circumcision is the token or sign of that FAITH. so the promise came by FAITH, and not of works. and to make that promise available to all, (because he is the father of many nations), it is by FAITH in God, who was manifested in the likeness of that sinful flesh to condemn sin in the flesh so that we can be made the righteousness of God. for if one who have died to the flesh, sin no more. this same life is also promise to the gentiles in Christ. to assure of the seed that is to come, that Gentile seed, that's the stranger that comes under your roof Abraham. scripture. "of any stranger, which is not of thy seed". even he must be circumcise on the EIGHTH day. understand, our covenant is an eight day covenant, that's the NEW DAY COVENANT and that comes by circumcision of the heart/spirit and not of the flesh. this is why the Christian assemble on what WE CALL the FIRST DAY of the week, because it is the EIGHTH DAY of COVENANT.

God didn't name any day he numbered them. and his day with us as a covenant people is the EIGHTH DAY.
lets see this EIGHTH KING in the eighth day, Abraham was circumcise and was told to circumcise any and all on what day?. the "EIGHT" day. when was JESUS circumcise? scripture Luke 2:21 "And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb". Glory to God. now one can see why many gather on the eighth day which follows the seventh day. (but that’s another whole topic by itself).

but the question arises, Jesus was circumcise in flesh so why not us? good question, for he was born under the Law to to fulfill it, which he did. and once fulfilled, he died to the flesh and was resurrected. listen, 2 Corinthians 5:16 "Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more”. (BINGO). now only the Heart is circumcised as was told long ago (see Deuteronomy 10:16). our Spiritual covenant is "THE EIGHT DAY COVENANT", with our EIGHTH KING in his Kingdom. finishing up on Romans 2:28, question, is not salvation of the Jews?. yes. but who is a JEW, "For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh 29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God".

Part III
Revelation 17:12 "And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast”.
ten kings here are ten leaders, or one’s who has been given the “Delegation of Authority” who authorize an action. the term “POWER” here in this verse is the Greek word, G1849 ἐξουσία exousia (e-xou-siy'-a) n.
1. authority, privilege, permission, the right to do something.
2. (subjectively) force, capacity, competency, freedom.
3. (objectively) mastery (concretely, magistrate, superhuman, potentate, token of control), delegated influence.
[from G1832 (in the sense of ability)]
KJV: authority, jurisdiction, liberty, power, right, strength

as a head or an executive, this authority can be in many areas, religious, political, educational, legal, medical….. ect.
so they have no kingdon to rule over but only manage or have authority, or jurisdiction over an area, or subject. please note, G1849 ἐξουσία exousia (e-xou-siy'-a) authority is not the the same as G1411 δύναμις dunamis (d̮ï '-na-mis) n. both mean "power" but are complety different.
1. force.
2. (specially) miraculous power.
3. (usually by implication) a miracle itself.
{literally or figuratively}
[from G1410]
KJV: ability, abundance, meaning, might(-ily, -y, -y deed), (worker of) miracle(-s), power, strength, violence, mighty (wonderful) work
Root(s): G1410

read and understand the different between the two. I'm using the Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words which gives a good rending of both.

Revelation 17:13 "These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast”.
they will work in unison to achieve there one objective, to stay in power, or stay in control.

Revelation 17:14 "These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful”.
the war here, as said is spiritual one, a battle for the minds, the hearts and souls of men. 1 Timothy 6:15 "Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords. verse 16 "Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen”.

we will see this war in more detail later on in the book.

Revelation 17:15 "And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues”.
this is self explanatory, as we already know this. but notice what it said, "where the whore sitteth", or where she reside at. now in many places, globally

Revelation 17:16 "And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire”.
She is her own worst own enemy. scripture of prime example, Genesis 50:19 "And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God?
verse 20 "But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive". when you dig a hole for someone else you fall into it yourself. all what is done is to God means an end. that proverb is true.

Revelation 17:17 "For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled”.
scripture, Psalms 110:1 "A Psalm of David. The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.
Psalms 110:2 "The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.
Psalms 110:3 "Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth. amen.

Revelation 17:18 "And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth”.
as do so Jerusalem today. and her daughters, hence her “Greatness”.

Revelation 18:1 "And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory”.
After these things, meaning what the angel explained to him, (John), in chapter 17, identifying the beast and the harlot, now, the reason why she is being JUDGE. as said before an angel is a messenger, either divine or human. here it the Lord himself, in the office of the Holy Ghost, the Holy Spirit being sent to go into all the earth via men carrying the gospel. this capacity of “Comforter, and Mediator is the keeping of the promise given to Abraham, and all nations. the question to ask? “how do we know that this is the Lord God almighty the Holy Spirit who is coming down”. good question, the answer, the verse said, “I saw another angel come down from heaven”. “who was sent from heaven as the “ANOTHER?” scripture, John 14:16 "And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever”. and the angel also said, “the earth was lightened with his glory”, HOLD IT, no angel glory shine over the whole earth, only the “Lord” himself is the Light of the world. and to prove it, his Glory will he “NOT” give to another. supportive scriptures, Isaiah 42:8 "I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images”. one more, Isaiah 48:11 "For mine own sake, even for mine own sake, will I do it: for how should my name be polluted? and I will not give my glory unto another”. so it’s clear that the glory spoken here is the Lord’s, the Holy Ghost, but lets see it directly in scriptures where the Holy Ghost is come down. 1 Peter 1:12 "Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into”. so angels desire themselves too look into the things of salvation and the gospel. so no this is no ordinary angel.

in the past I have heard preachers make the statement, “no one sends God”, God is not sent. well according to God word located in 1 Peter 1:12 , it say other wise. {I would like to say this here and now. we have bought a series of lie for so many of years of false teaching, until it has become the truth for some of us. but God declared in his word that we MUST RE-NEW OUR MINDS”. and we will. all that stuff we been taught, handed down, from someone who believe what someone else told them and someone who told them, and no one took time out to see if this is actually true. we as good students believed our teachers, and not question them. will I do and did.

Revelation 18:2 "And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird".
Cried here is not speaking of tears in one’s eyes, but to meaning to lodge a complaint, or to proclaim something, here, it’s Babylon the great. “Babylon the great is fallen is fallen?”, when did God speak this? lets check the record, Isaiah 21:9 "And, behold, here cometh a chariot of men, with a couple of horsemen. And he answered and said, Babylon is fallen, is fallen; and all the graven images of her gods he hath broken unto the ground. who said this? verse 10 "O my threshing, and the corn of my floor: that which I have heard of the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, have I declared unto you”. that’s who he “heard” it from. (BINGO).

I would like to make a point here where many, even studied scholars, make an error at. some stretch the seventy week of Daniel into having a direct time period to fit this scripture coming next, Jeremiah 25:12 "And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, saith the LORD, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans, and will make it perpetual desolations”. with some scholars, not all, here disagree with themselves in which Babylon is spoken of. (which is another whole teaching within itself).

Revelation 18:3 "For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies”.
Here’s another prime example of this where I disagree with many scholars. many think, when they see the term “ merchants”, they automatically reason, “commerce”. and or “trade” well yes in the natural, but there is a spiritual “commerce”, which have many “ merchants” also. later in the chapter we will see this spiritual “commerce”. so setting the stage to come, lets define our symbolism of, merchants, commerce, and merchandise.
first we need to define what is “merchandise”, spiritually speaking. scripture, 2 Peter 2:3 "And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not”. “merchandise” here, is dealing with the SOULS of men, as the apostle points out, “ make merchandise of you”. and the “merchants “ here are false teacher and preacher, who just like the merchants (in the natural world), they do the same thing with their goods, they carry, (seduce) them to market and sell them to their false god, or gods, Satan, and they, understand this, they get paid for it. Supportive scripture, Zechariah 11:4 "Thus saith the LORD my God; Feed the flock of the slaughter; verse 5 "Whose possessors slay them, and hold themselves not guilty: and they that sell them say, Blessed be the LORD; for I am rich: and their own shepherds pity them not”. and some of these false prophets and teachers, bishops, and apostles… ect. they have made themselves rich physically, (in the natural), also. selling a false gospel, at the same time putting your soul on the exchange market. as the scripture states, Matthew 16:26 "For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?”, oh how true. the answer …. ZERO.

understand this, God Market of exchange is “FREE”, Isaiah 55:1 "Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price”. this is the “REAL” FREE MARKET of GOD. here one can exchange the stock bond of “sin” for the the free price of eternal life, and there is no cost to invest. see, that the “bond” stock market. God’s Merchants, (preacher, and teachers he sends), are in stock bonds, (selling off (sin), and the price is “FIXED”, no coast.
but the devil merchants, watch how they trade on the exchange, Amos 8:6 "That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes; yea, and sell the refuse of the wheat?”. that’s not a free market there.

now can we see the stage is set for Judgments of the false traders of the harlot. and this exchange is imported world wide. as said this is a battle for the souls of men. once again, Isaiah 1:21 "How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers”. and this same false religion, doctrines and beliefs are exported all around the world.

Revelation 18:4 "And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues".
so many christian have been sold a bill of … “NO GOODS”. till they don’t know what’s true or false. scripture.1 Thessalonians 5:21 "Prove all things; hold fast that which is good”. and to prove all things, 2 Timothy 2:15 "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth”. so the call is to come out of these false doctrines and beliefs, and man made religions. for God has called us out of darkness into his marvelous light. as he have said, “I AM THE LIGHT” of the world. and if one refuse to believe this, then they will be partakers of her plagues.

Revelation 18:5 "For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities”.
God is on the throne and he takes account of everything happening. just as the building of the tower of Babel don’t worry God will come down to you in due time, way before you come up to him. (there is a message in there). when something keeps on coming up before the Lord he will do something about it. in this case, the false teaching and false preaching, and the false worship, will be dealt with. we can see this clearly in another example, Genesis 18:20 "And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous; verse 21 "I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know”. as God almighty came down before, as we know here, likewise he has “come down” now to whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it”. my God the bible just complete itself.

Revelation 18:6 "Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double”.
here God is speaking to his people, scripture, Isaiah 35:4 "Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and save you.
God will take vengeance, and as he said in chapter 22, “behold I come quickly”. and he is coming quickly. but while we’re here we should be about our Father’s business. Romans 12:16 "Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.
Romans 12:17 "Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.
Romans 12:18 "If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
Romans 12:19 "Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
Romans 12:20 "Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
Romans 12:21 "Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good”.

here’s where the saints need to hear, Romans 12:19 "Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. verse 20 "Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head”. God will repay.


Revelation 18:7 "How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow”.
these next two verses go hand and hand. but here in this verse, the prophet and king, David, said it best,
Psalms 37:1 "A Psalm of David. Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.
Psalms 37:2 "For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.
Psalms 37:3 "Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.
Psalms 37:4 "Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
Psalms 37:5 "Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
Psalms 37:6 "And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.
Psalms 37:7 "Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
Psalms 37:8 "Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.
Psalms 37:9 "For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.
Psalms 37:10 "For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.
Psalms 37:11 "But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

it appears that wealthy, or the rich, have it made, (NOT ALL ARE THE SAME), but those who work evil is soon cut off. understand, a few years here in this world rich, compares nothing to eternally richness for life. this is but a short time now, but eternal is for ever, and ever. let us say this, there is nothing wrong with being wealthy, it what you do with it.

Revelation 18:8 "Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her”.
Isaiah 47:7 "And thou saidst, I shall be a lady for ever: so that thou didst not lay these things to thy heart, neither didst remember the latter end of it.
Isaiah 47:8 "Therefore hear now this, thou that art given to pleasures, that dwellest carelessly, that sayest in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children:
Isaiah 47:9 "But these two things shall come to thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood: they shall come upon thee in their perfection for the multitude of thy sorceries, and for the great abundance of thine enchantments. so why worry about the wicked.

Part II, "the eighth King revealed of the seven".
Revelation 17:11 "And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition”.
in verse 9 it said, “And here is the mind which hath wisdom”. in our English grammar, which if we read the verse here as is, it do not clearly reveals what is spoken, so we will reveal it to you in a way so that you can clearly understand. this is what I call embedded revelation. lets look at the entire scripture and learn.

the verse said, ”And the beast that was, and is not,” but the middle of the verse is the embedded wisdom, “even he is the eighth, and is of the seven” we will color code this blue for future reference, and now the last part of the scripture, “and goeth into perdition”. lets make it clear. a King was born in the mist of the beast, in the land of Israel. that was and is not because the Roman empire now at that time ruled. but because of this seventh King, he overcomes the beast, and this kingdom. now we will give you the answer, and show it to you plainly as who is this eighth and of the seven, King. the seventh King that was born in the mist of Israel where the beast reside while the Roman empire rule, is none other than the Lord Jesus Christ himself. who was “BORN KING”, according to the flesh. see Matthews Chapter 2: verses 1-12.

verse 10 above said, ”and when he cometh, he must continue a short space”, which he did because he was cut off, crucified in the flesh. but he rose the third day resurrected, and glorified. the resurrected glorified Christ is the eighth King, eternal, immortal, and his KINGDOM IS ETERNAL. lets see it clearly.

going back to our verse here, "And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition”. lets see how, by wisdom we get the understanding of this King. first, by taking the scriptures apart one can clearly see the seventh and eighth King. as said watch the blue section . "And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition”. if one take this blue section out then the scriptures reads as this, ,"And the beast that was, and is not, and goeth into perdition”. this is what happens to the beast, but the revelation is this, place the blue section back in but at the end, and it reads as follows, "And the beast that was, and is not, and goeth into perdition, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven”. see it now. he is not the Woman herself, but “he” the King that was born in the MIST of her. how do we know this? because the scripture states, “OF” the seven. which might make one think, is he Jesus, one of the seven heads? NO, the Lord Jesus is “OF” the tribe of Juda in the Land of Israel where the beast reside, he came out of JUDA, from the remnant of the nation called Israel, where the beast reside, (which tried to kill him as a babe, again see matthews chapter 2). for no Kingdom can have two Kings. supportive scripture, Hebrews 7:14 "For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood”. so no, our Lord did not “come from” Juda, but “out OF” Juda. meaning out of the nation, of Israel, where the beast reside. for he was “BORN KING”, meaning he's the seventh King, according to the flesh. this is the reason why the wise men came to worship the new Born KING. as King he is the seventh, and why states of, because of his cutting off or his crucifixion, he now is risen and live a NEW LIFE by the Spirit, the New eternal Life in “flesh and Bones”, (hence he's the eighth of the seven who was King and was Killed. and having the same flesh and bones, (which did not see corruption) he is of the seventh King, because his flesh and bones that was resurrected is now glorified. for he was the seven, in succession, the seventh King. five has fallen and one is, he is that seven, showing completness in the flesh, the son of David.

when I first showed this many years ago, some accused me of changing the scriptures, they said, I added or either I took away from the scriptures. NO, it was just show how to understand the verse, that’s all. for nothing was taken away, nor added, just arranged to show the true meaning, all of the scripture is still there, nothing is changed. as the angels said, “and here is the mind which hath wisdom”.

the eighth King has been a mystery to a many of people for a a long time, but the word of God reveals it. as the scripture states, the eighth is of the seven, for it was the remnant that he came out “of”. he is the first stone in the building of this NEW EVERLASTING KINGDOM, which the Harlot rejected. and he’s been adding to that foundation ever since after his resurrection. so when he finish, the wedding supper will commence.

now to prove that he is the eighth King, lets go back to the book of Genesis. this is going to surprise many, but some may know it. question, how many day are there in a week?. Genesis Chapter 17 starting at verse 10 " This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; (Notice seed). Every man child among you shall be circumcised. And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you. And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any stranger, which is not of thy seed". Eight in the Bible is symbolic for Covenant. watch, "circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you. And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any stranger, which is not of thy seed”.

Abraham got the promise by faith, before he was circumcise, and circumcision is the token or sign of that FAITH. so the promise came by FAITH, and not of works. and to make that promise available to all, (because he is the father of many nations), it is by FAITH in God, who was manifested in the likeness of that sinful flesh to condemn sin in the flesh so that we can be made the righteousness of God. for if one who have died to the flesh, sin no more. this same life is also promise to the gentiles in Christ. to assure of the seed that is to come, that Gentile seed, that's the stranger that comes under your roof Abraham. scripture. "of any stranger, which is not of thy seed". even he must be circumcise on the EIGHTH day. understand, our covenant is an eight day covenant, that's the NEW DAY COVENANT and that comes by circumcision of the heart/spirit and not of the flesh. this is why the Christian assemble on what WE CALL the FIRST DAY of the week, because it is the EIGHTH DAY of COVENANT.

God didn't name any day he numbered them. and his day with us as a covenant people is the EIGHTH DAY.
lets see this EIGHTH KING in the eighth day, Abraham was circumcise and was told to circumcise any and all on what day?. the "EIGHT" day. when was JESUS circumcise? scripture Luke 2:21 "And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb". Glory to God. now one can see why many gather on the eighth day which follows the seventh day. (but that’s another whole topic by itself).

but the question arises, Jesus was circumcise in flesh so why not us? good question, for he was born under the Law to to fulfill it, which he did. and once fulfilled, he died to the flesh and was resurrected. listen, 2 Corinthians 5:16 "Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more”. (BINGO). now only the Heart is circumcised as was told long ago (see Deuteronomy 10:16). our Spiritual covenant is "THE EIGHT DAY COVENANT", with our EIGHTH KING in his Kingdom. finishing up on Romans 2:28, question, is not salvation of the Jews?. yes. but who is a JEW, "For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh 29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God".

I wonder if this beast is not the same beast that is described in Rev 13 that will be worshipped. Seems to me that your understand back then that the beast in Rev 13 did not rise up out of the Bottomless pit may have been wrong.

Re-read it. the beast is from the pit that rose up in men. look at it again.

Well, 101G, I have gone back to your previous post on Rev 13:1, and here is what you said: -

Many associate this beast which John saw with Daniel beasts, 7:17 "These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth”. there in Daniel, it was four beast, kings/kingdoms that would “rise” out of the EARTH. but here in revelation, it’s one single beast made up of all the afore mentions beast, but this beast rise out of the SEA instead of the EARTH. and Daniel give us one more clue to who this beast is, the fourth one. Daniel 7:7 "After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns”. it’s a mixture of all the beast, he said, this fourth was, ”diverse”, from all the beasts that were before it. This word “diverse”, was interesting for in the Hebrew it is, H8133 שְׁנָא shna' (shen-aw') v.
to alter.

It is my observation that you are attempting to align the fourth beast of Daniel 7:1-12 with the beast in Revelation 13:1, but the beasts of Daniel 7:1-12 including the little horn beast, the fifth beast of Daniel 7:1-12, and who appears in the second half of Rev 13, are imprisoned and locked up in the Bottomless pit just before or at the very beginning of the Millennium Age.

Now, there is a gap of 1,000 years in Daniel 7, between verses 17 and verse 18 when the four faceted beast made up of the previous four individual beasts of Dan 7:1-12 appears on the prophetic timeline as it rises up out of the Bottomless pit as we are told in: -
Rev 17:7-8: -
7 But the angel said to me, "Why did you marvel? I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns. 8 The beast that you saw was, and is not, and will ascend out of the bottomless pit and go to perdition. And 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, and is not, and yet is.
and which adds to what we know of this beast from:-
Rev 13:1b-3: - And I saw a beast rising up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads a blasphemous name. 2 Now the beast which I saw was like a leopard, his feet were like the feet of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority. 3 And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marveled and followed the beast.

Please notice that the descriptions above both of the beast in Rev 13 & 17 describe the four beasts that existed before they were judged in Dan 7:11-12. The Beasts of Dan 7:1-12 were allowed to live for a season and a little while, where the season has a duration of 1,000 years, locked up in the Bottomless pit where their influence over the people of the earth could not operate until they were released when the bottomless pit was unlocked for the little while period.

Your inability to provide a timeline for the events in the Book of Revelation demonstrates that your understanding is very limited and smacks a very flawed understanding of the Book of Revelation and the End Time.

Without more information as to what you are alluding to in the above quote, I do not know where you would like me to start.

Perhaps it would be best if you could provide your understanding of Daniel 7:2 and then go on to explain how your question above was meant to help me understand your posts.

Perhaps it would be best if you could provide your understanding of Daniel 7:2 and then go on to explain how your question above was meant to help me understand your posts.
First thanks for the reply. second no need to it's been shown right here in Revelation.

Now if you like you can post your meaning of daniel 7:2 or any of Daniel. and we can see if it line up with the revelation here in this book.

again thanks for your reply.
