2165

Written From the Island of Patmos

15 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. PF 16 And HE that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped. PF 17 And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a 16 sharp sickle. PF 18 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. PF 19 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. PF 20 And the winepress was trodden 17 without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of 18 a thousand and six hun- dred furlongs. PF Revelation 15 An introduction to the last seven plagues, called the “seven vial judgments” Date Written - c. AD 96 1 And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of 19 GOD . 2 And I saw as it were a sea of glass min- gled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God. 3 And they sing the 20 song of Moses the servant of God, and the 21 song of the LAMB , saying, 22 Great and marvellous are thy works, 23 LORD GOD ALMIGHTY ; just and true are thy ways, thou 24 KING of saints. GOD THE FATHER to be worshipped along with GOD THE SON in the Kingdom 4 Who shall not fear thee, O 25 LORD and

An angel to proclaim the Gospel 6 And I saw 1 another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting 2 GOSPEL to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kin- dred, and tongue, and people, 7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the 3 HOUR OF HIS JUDGMENT is come: and worship 4 him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. “Political” Babylon falls as CHRIST returns (See - Rev 18:2) 8 And there followed another angel, saying, 5 Babylon is 6 fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. PF Woe to those who follow the Antichrist 9 And the third angel followed them, say- ing with a loud voice, If any man 7 worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, 10 The same shall 8 drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; 9 and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: 11 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. 12 Here is the 10 patience of the saints: here are they 11 that keep the command- ments of God, and the faith of Jesus. 13 And I heard a voice from heaven say- ing unto me, Write, 12 Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their 13 works do follow them. The results of Armageddon (See - Rev 19:17-21) 14 And I looked, andbehold awhite cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the 14 SONOFMAN , having on his head a gold- en crown, and in HIS hand a sharp 15 sickle.
