    Matthew 7 (Jesus speaks about Hypocritical Judgement) (bible study with support scriptures)

    Revelation Chapter 17 VERSE 17 “For God has put it into their hearts to fulfill His purpose, to be of one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God are fulfilled.” FOR GOD HAS PUT IT IN THEIR HEARTS: Somehow God will so arrange matters that the desires of men will...

    Revelation Chapter 17 VERSE 15 “Then he said to me, “The waters which you saw, where the harlot sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations, and tongues.” THEN HE SAID TO ME: From here to the end of the chapter we again have evidence of the angel’s commission toward us. He is saying, “Here are...

    Revelation Chapter 17 VERSE 12 “The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast.” AND THE TEN HORNS WHICH YOU SAW: “Which you saw” is important. The Revelator is mopping up details. He has disposed...

    Revelation Chapter 17 VERSE 9 “Here is the mind which has wisdom: The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits.” HERE IS THE MIND WHICH HAS WISDOM: The angel now invites the saints to reason. He DOES NOT explain to us the meaning of the following verses. He merely LISTS...

    Revelation Chapter 17 Before we move on let us briefly review for a moment the differences, between the two views which we have just presented with regards to... The beast that WAS, and IS NOT; and IS ABOUT TO COME up out of the abyss. (Rev 17:8) According to the first view this “beast”...

    Revelation Chapter 17 VERSE 8 continued “The beast that thou saw WAS, and IS NOT; and IS ABOUT TO COME up out of the abyss…” Point # 2: The PARTIAL beast (of Verses 8, 11-13, 16, 17) is THUS SAID to be “of the seven,” but NOT ONE of the seven.” (We should not look for a definition of this...

    Revelation Chapter 17 Now a second look at our subject from another perspective, one which when rightfully grasps seems just as plausible as the first. VERSE 8 continued “The beast that thou saw WAS, and IS NOT; and IS ABOUT TO COME up out of the abyss…” “All students of Revelation know the...
