2158

Written From the Island of Patmos

4 And when the seven thunders had ut- tered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not. 5 And the 5 ANGEL which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven, 6 And sware by 10 HIM that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be 11 time no longer: 7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, 12 when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, 13 as he hath declared to his servants the prophets. 8 And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the ANGEL which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth. 9 And I went unto the ANGEL , and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it , and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey. 10 And I took the little book out of the ANGEL’S hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth 14 sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was 15 bitter. 11 And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again 16 before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings. Revelation 11 The Time of the Gentiles to last 3½ years Date Written - c. AD 96 1 And there was given me a 17 reed like unto a rod: and the 5 ANGEL stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein. 2 But 18 the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they 19 tread under foot 20 FORTY AND TWO MONTHS .

Sixth Trumpet - Second Woe (One third of remaining three fourth’s world population is destroyed)

13 And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the 1 golden altar which is before God, 14 Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates. 15 And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men. 16 And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them. 17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breast- plates of fire, and of jacinth, and brim- stone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone. 18 By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths. 19 For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt. 20 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: 2 which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk: 21 Neither repented they of their mur- ders, nor of their 3 sorceries, nor of their 4 fornication, nor of their thefts. Revelation 10 CHRIST’S little book and the Seven Thunders (A mystery to come) Date Written - c. AD 96 1 And I saw another mighty 5 ANGEL come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon 6 HIS head, and 7 HIS face was as it were the sun, and 8 HIS feet as pillars of fire: 2 And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth, 3 And cried with a loud voice, as when a 9 LION roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.
