THERE WILL BE AN END… AND THEN A FOREVER! Then I saw another sign in heaven, great and amazing, seven angels with seven plagues, which are the last, for with them the wrath of God is finished. And I saw what appeared to be a sea of glass mingled with fire—and also those who had conquered the beast and its image and the number of its name, standing beside the sea of glass with harps of God in their hands. And they sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, “Great and amazing are your deeds, O Lord God the Almighty! Just and true…

WHEN THE FOUNDATONS ARE DESTROYED THE RIGHTEOUS DO WHAT GOD DESIRES! Why do you make me see iniquity, and why do you idly look at wrong? Destruction and violence are before me; strife and contention arise. So the law is paralyzed, and justice never goes forth. For the wicked surround the righteous; so justice goes forth perverted. —Habakkuk 1:3-4             Do not be surprised in this world or in this nation when justice is perverted.  When the wicked surround the righteous, when those who seek to do evil outnumber and hem in those who seek to do right, then what is just will not take place.  We have to remember that…

KNOW THE TRUTH OR BE DELUDED BY THE LIE Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name. This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666. —Revelation 13:16-18             What are some things we do know at this time from this passage? The 2nd beast” will cause…

SAFE FROM SATANIC FURY’S FINALITY And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death.  Therefore, rejoice, O heavens and you who dwell in them! But woe to you, O earth and sea, for the devil has come down to you in great wrath, because he knows that his time is short!” —Revelation 12:11-12 Then the dragon became furious with the woman and went off to make war on the rest of her offspring, on those who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus. And he stood on the…

THE COMING JUDGMENT… AND REWARDS! It shall come to pass in the latter days…  they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore. —Micah 4:1, 3 The nations raged, but your wrath came, and the time for the dead to be judged, and for rewarding your servants, the prophets and saints, and those who fear your name, both small and great, and for destroying the destroyers of the earth.” —Revelation 18:18             Oh, joy of joys and delights of delights because there is a day coming in the latter days when instead…

CONTENT OR CONNIVING Woe to those who devise wickedness and work evil on their beds! When the morning dawns, they perform it, because it is in the power of their hand. They covet fields and seize them, and houses and take them away; they oppress a man and his house, a man and his inheritance. —Micah 2:1-2 Its heads give judgment for a bribe; its priests teach for a price; its prophets practice divination for money; yet they lean on the LORD and say, “Is not the LORD in the midst of us? No disaster shall come upon us. —Micah 3:11             The evil nature of man does not change from…

KNOWING GOD’S LOVE BY FAITHFULNESS TO HIM Those who cling to worthless idols turn away from God’s love for them. —Jonah 2:8 The rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands nor give up worshiping demons and idols of gold and silver and bronze and stone and wood, which cannot see or hear or walk,  nor did they repent of their murders or their sorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts. —Revelation 9:20-21             Whose love do we desire to experience more?  The love of God or the love from someone else or something else?  An idol is…

THE COMING JUDGMENT UPON THIS WORLD And a third of the earth was burned up, and a third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up. —Revelation 8:7 …a third of the sea became blood.  A third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed. —Revelation 8:8-9 …a great star fell from heaven, blazing like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water. The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters became wormwood, and many people died from the water, because it had been made…

ANGELS— FELLOW SERANTS WITH US OF GOD After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth, that no wind might blow on earth or sea or against any tree. Then I saw another angel ascending from the rising of the sun, with the seal of the living God, and he called with a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm earth and sea, saying, “Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees, until we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.” —-Revelation 7:1-3             God tells us…

BE FAITHFUL— WE KNOW WHAT IS COMING! They hate him who reproves in the gate, and they abhor him who speaks the truth. —Amos 5:10 When he opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, “Come!” And I looked, and behold, a pale horse! And its rider’s name was Death, and Hades followed him. And they were given authority over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by wild beasts of the earth.  When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of…
