The Final Judgement and the Eternal Kingdom

Revelations 19:6-21

And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth. Revelations 19:6

Marriage Supper of the Lamb

Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.
And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

The Return of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords

I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
He was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
The armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
Out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
He hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords.

Revelations Chapter 20

Satan Bound

I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
He laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,

cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.

Saints Reign

I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

Satan Loosed

when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,

shall go out to deceive the nations.

Gog and Magog

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.
they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.

Satan Cast

the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

Great White Throne

I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

Lake of Fire

death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

The Eternal State

The New Heaven
The New Earth
The New Jerusalem

And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. Revelations 21:1-3

The Fall of Babylon: Unveiling the Great Prostitute

The Great Prostitute from the book of Revelations

The Judgment of Babylon the Great

The great Harlot (Revelations 17:1-18)

Babylon, the Prostitute on the Beast

Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and spoke with me, saying, “Come here, I will show you the judgment and doom of the great prostitute who is seated on many waters [influencing nations],
she with whom the kings of the earth have [c]committed acts of immorality, and the inhabitants of the earth have become intoxicated with the wine of her immorality.”
a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was entirely covered with blasphemous names, having seven heads and ten horns.
The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold, precious stones and pearls, [and she was] holding in her hand a gold cup full of the abominations and the filth of her [sexual] immorality.
on her forehead a name was written, a mystery: “BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES (false religions, heresies) AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.”
the woman was drunk with the blood of the saints (God’s people), and with the blood of the witnesses of Jesus [who were martyred].

the angel said to me, “Why do you wonder? I will explain to you the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and ten horns.

“The beast that you saw was [once], but [now] is not, and he is about to come up out of the abyss (the bottomless pit, the dwelling place of demons) and go to destruction (perdition).
the inhabitants of the earth, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world, will be astonished when they see the beast, because he was and is not and is yet to come [to earth].
Here is the mind which has wisdom [and this is what it knows about the vision]. The seven heads are seven hills on which the woman sits;

they are seven kings:

five of whom have fallen
one exists and is reigning
the other [the seventh] has not yet come, and when he does come, he must remain a little while.
the beast that [once] was but is not, is himself also an eighth king and is one of the seven, and he goes to destruction (perdition).

The ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but [together] they receive authority as kings for a single hour [for a common purpose] along with the beast.
These [kings] have one purpose [one mind, one common goal], and they give their power and authority to the beast.

Victory for the Lamb

They will wage war against the Lamb (Christ)

the Lamb will triumph and conquer them, because He is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those who are with Him and on His side are the called and chosen (elect) and faithful.”

Then the angel said to me, “The waters which you saw, where the prostitute is seated, are:

peoples
multitudes
nations
languages.

the ten horns which you saw, and the beast

will hate the prostitute
will make her desolate and naked [stripped of her power and influence]
will eat her flesh and completely consume her with fire.

For God has put it in their hearts to carry out His purpose by agreeing together to surrender their kingdom to the beast, until the [prophetic] words of God will be fulfilled.

The woman whom you saw is the great city, which reigns:

over
dominates
controls the kings
the political leaders of the earth.”

The Great City (Revelations 18:1-24)

Babylon Is Fallen

After these things I saw another angel coming down from heaven, possessing great authority, and the earth was illuminated with his splendor and radiance.
he shouted with a mighty voice, saying, “Fallen, fallen [certainly to be destroyed] is Babylon the great!

She has become a dwelling place for demons, a dungeon haunted by every unclean spirit, and a prison for every unclean and loathsome bird.
For all the nations have drunk from the wine of the passion of her [sexual] immorality
the kings and political leaders of the earth have committed immorality with her
the merchants of the earth have become rich by the wealth and economic power of her sensuous luxury.”

And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, “Come out of her, my people, so that you will not be a partner in her sins and receive her plagues;

for her sins (crimes, transgressions) have piled up as high as heaven
God has remembered her wickedness and crimes [for judgment].
Repay to her even as she has repaid others, and pay back [to her] double [her torment] in accordance with what she has done
in the cup [of sin and suffering] which she mixed, mix a double portion [of perfect justice] for her.
To the degree that she glorified herself and reveled and gloated in her sensuality [living deliciously and luxuriously],
to that same degree impose on her torment and anguish, and mourning and grief;

for in her heart she boasts, ‘I sit as a queen [on a throne] and I am not a widow, and will never, ever see mourning or experience grief.’
For this reason in a single day her plagues (afflictions, calamities) will come,

pestilence
mourning
famine
she will be burned up with fire and completely consumed; for strong and powerful is the Lord God who judges her.

Laments for Babylon

the kings and political leaders of the earth, who committed immorality and lived luxuriously with her

will weep and beat their chests [in mourning] over her when they see the smoke of her burning
standing a long way off, in fear of her torment, saying, ‘Woe, woe, the great city, the strong city, Babylon! In a single hour your judgment has come.’

“And merchants of the earth will weep and grieve over her,

because no one buys their cargo (goods, merchandise) anymore— cargoes of:

gold
silver
precious stones
pearls
fine linen
purple
silk
scarlet
all kinds of citron (scented) wood
every article of ivory
every article of very costly and lavish:

wood
bronze
iron
marble

cinnamon
spices
incense
perfume
frankincense
wine
olive oil
fine flour
wheat
of cattle
sheep
cargoes of horses and chariots and carriages
of slaves and human lives.
The ripe fruits and delicacies of your soul’s desire have gone from you, and all things that were luxurious and extravagant are lost to you, never again to be found.
The merchants who handled these articles, who grew wealthy from [their business with] her

will stand a long way off in fear of her torment, weeping and mourning aloud, 16 saying, ‘Woe, woe, for the great city that was robed in fine linen, in purple and scarlet, gilded and adorned with gold, with precious stones, and with pearls; because in one hour all the vast wealth has been laid waste.’ And

every ship captain or navigator, and every passenger and sailor, and all who make their living by the sea,

stood a long way off, 18 and exclaimed as they watched the smoke of her burning, saying, ‘What could be compared to the great city?’
they threw dust on their heads and were crying out, weeping and mourning, saying, ‘Woe, woe, for the great city, where all who had ships at sea grew rich from her great wealth, because in one hour she has been laid waste!’
Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you saints (God’s people) and apostles and prophets [who were martyred], because God has executed vengeance for you [through righteous judgment] upon her.”

The Divine Sentence upon Babylon

Then a single powerful angel picked up a boulder like a great millstone and flung it into the sea,

saying, “With such violence will Babylon the great city be hurled down [by the sudden, spectacular judgment of God], and will never again be found.
the sound of harpists and musicians and flutists and trumpeters will never again be heard in you
no skilled artisan of any craft will ever again be found in you
the sound of the millstone [grinding grain] will never again be heard in you [for commerce will no longer flourish, and normal life will cease]
never again will the light of a lamp shine in you
never again will the voice of the bridegroom and bride be heard in you

for your merchants were the great and prominent men of the earth
because all the nations were deceived and misled by your sorcery [your magic spells and poisonous charm].
in Babylon was found the blood of prophets and of saints (God’s people) and of all those who have been slaughtered on the earth.”

The Bowl Judgements of Revelations

The Seven Bowls (Revelations 15:1-16:21)

The prelude (Revelations 15:5-16:1)

the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened:

And the seven angels came out of the temple, having the seven plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and having their breasts girded with golden girdles.
And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who liveth for ever and ever.
And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power; and no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled.
And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.

1st Bowl (Revelations 16:2)

the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth

there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.

2nd Bowl (Revelations 16:3)

the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea

it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.

3rd Bowl (Revelations 16:4-7)

the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters

they became blood.

the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus. For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.
another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.

4th Bowl (Revelations 16:8-9)

the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun

power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.

men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues
they did not repent

5th Bowl (Revelations 16: 10-11)

the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast

his kingdom was full of darkness
they gnawed their tongues for pain,
blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores
they did not repent of their deeds.

6th Bowl (Revelations 16:12-16)

the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates

the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.
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.

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.

Behold, I (Jesus) come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.

And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.

7th Bowl (Revelations 16:17-21)

the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air

there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.
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.
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.
every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.
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.

Another wonder in heaven - a red dragon having 7 heads and 10 horns and 7 crowns upon his heads

his tail drew 1/3 part of the stars of heaven (stars is often referring to angels) and did cast them down to the earth

The woman brought forth a man child (Jesus)

This child was to rule all nations with a rod of iron
The child was caught up unto God, and to His Throne

The woman fled into the mountains where a place for her was prepared

For 1260 days she is provided for

Great War in Heaven (Revelation 12:7-12)

Michael and his angels fought against the dragon and his angels
The dragon lost and was cast out of heaven
The dragon is the old serpent (the one who deceived Eve), the Devil, and Satan

"Now is come Salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before God day and night."

The persecution on earth (Revelation 12:13-17)

Woe to the people of the earth and of the sea for the devil is come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows the he has a short time.
The dragon persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.

woman given two wings of a great eagle that she might fly into the wilderness
she goes to a place prepared for her for a time, and times, and half a time.
she is away from the serpent

The dragon cast water from his mouth so that he might cause the woman to be carried away

the earth helped the woman by swallowing up the flood

The dragon goes to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ

The Beast from the sea: The antichrist (Revelation 13:1-10)

a beast rose out of the sea

has 7 heads
10 horns
10 crowns on the 10 heads
looked like a leopard with the feet of a bear and the mouth of a lion
the dragon gave him his power, seat, and great authority

there was a deadly wound on 1 of his heads that is healed.

the world wonders after the beast
the world worships the beast

There was given a mouth unto him to speak great things and blasphemies for 42 months

he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God

to blaspheme against his name
to blaspheme against his tabernacle
to blaspheme against them that dwell in heaven

He is given power to make war with the saints and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations

all who dwell on the earth was to worship him, whose names are not in the book of life

The beast from the earth: the False Prophet (Revelations 13:11-18)

a beast from the earth

2 horns like a lamb

caused the people on earth to worship the 1st beast

caused an image to be made of the 1st beast

all had to worship the 1st beast or be killed
caused all to receive a mark in their right hand or in their foreheads

can't buy or sell without the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name

Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is 666

The Program of God (Revelation 14:1-20

The Lamb and the 144,000 (Revelation 14:1-5)

The lamb (Jesus) stood on mount Sion with 144,000 people who had the name of God written in their foreheads (the seal of God)
Things heard from heaven

A voice as the voice of many waters
A voice as the voice of a great thunder
A voice of harpers with their harps

they sung a new song before:

the throne
the four beasts
the elders
only the 144,000 could learn this song because

they were redeemed from the earth
they were not defiled with women, they are virgins
they follow the Lamb wherever he goes
They are redeemed from men, being the first fruits unto God and to the Lamb
in their mouth is no guile, for they are without fault before the throne of God

The 3 angels (Revelation 14:6-13)

1st angel

an angel flies in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,
Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.

2nd angel

another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.

3rd angel

the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,

The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.

The harvest of the earth (Revelation 14:14-20)

And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.

And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.
And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped. And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.
And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.
And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.
And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.

the court is given unto the Gentiles
the holy city is given to the Gentiles to tread under foot for 42 months

The two witnesses (I believe that the two witnesses are Enoch and Elijah because the Bible says in Hebrews 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: Those two people were taken to heaven before they died.)

Power given to prophesy for 42 months
Fire will come out of their mouths to devour anyone who tries to hurt them
They have the power to prevent rain
They have the power to turn water to blood
They have the power to smite the earth with all plagues as often as they will
After the 42 months, a beast will come out of the bottomless pit and make war against the two and kill them
Their bodies will be left in the street of the great city that is spiritually called Sodom and Egypt

Their bodies will be left out for 3 1/2 days- no one will be allowed to bury them
