Revelation chapter 14
(these explanatory comments by Mike Young)
And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on Mount Zion (on the Passover, on earth), and with him 144,000 having his Father's name written in their foreheads. And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps: (Second Rapture from the Temple in Jerusalem into the throne room in heaven occurs here)
And they sung as it were a new song before the throne (in heaven), and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the 144,000, which were redeemed (raptured) from the earth ......
These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These
are they which follow the Lamb where ever he goes. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.
And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the
throne of God.
And I saw another angel fly 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.
And there followed 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.
And 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 (resurrected anti-Messiah who has Satan as his soul) and his image (Madonna, the living granite statue that breathes that tells the world to worship her son the "Christ"), 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.
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 (in heaven), 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 (of Jerusalem), and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six
hundred furlongs.
Chapter 15
And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having
the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God.
And I saw as it were a sea of glass (Genesis "firmament") mingled 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. And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the
Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just
and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.
Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for
all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made
manifest.
And after that I looked, and, behold, 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 (4 cheribims surround the throne chariot of God) 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.
Chapter 16
And I heard a great voice out of the temple (in heaven) saying to the seven angels, Go
your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.
And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a
noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast,
and upon them which worshipped his image.
And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the
blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.
And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters;
and they became blood.
And I heard 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.
And I heard another out of the altar (in heaven) say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and
righteous are thy judgments.
And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given
unto him to scorch men with fire.
And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God,
which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.
And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his
kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain,
And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores,
and repented not of their deeds.
And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and
the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be
prepared.
And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the
dragon (Satan), and out of the mouth of the beast (resurrected Anti-Messiah), and out of the mouth of the false prophet (Jesuit General?).
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 come as a THIEF (Third Rapture). 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.
And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a
great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.
And 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.
And the great city (Jerusalem) 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.
And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.
And 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.
Chapter 17
And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and
talked with me, saying unto me, Come here; I will shew unto thee the
judgment of the great whore (City Hierachy that rules over all cities on earth) that sitteth upon many waters (people):
With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the
inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman (City Hierarchy) sit
upon a red colored beast (Satan), full of names of blasphemy, having seven
heads (7 Mountains) and ten horns (10 Kings).
And the woman (Hierachy) was arrayed in purple and red color, and decked with
gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of
abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
And upon her (Hierachy's) forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE
GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE
EARTH.
And I saw the woman (City Hierachy) drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood
of the martyrs of Jesus (the Jew): and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
And the angel said unto me, Why do you marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman (City Hierarchy) , and of the beast (Resurrected Anti-Messiah in whom dwells Satan) that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads (7 Mountains) and ten horns (10 Kings).
The beast (Anti-christ's soul) that you saw was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the
bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall
wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation
of the world, when they behold the beast (Anti-Messiah indwelt by Satan) that was, and is not, and yet is.
And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven
mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
And there are seven kings (old kingdoms): five are fallen (which are Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Persia, Greece, and one is (the Roman Empire was in existance while this book was written), and the other (Kingdom) is not yet come (New Rome Reestablished); and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven,
and goeth into perdition.
And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings (Which will be far larger than what most think. The 10 nations according to Daniel shall include the original land space of ancient Rome including England, Turkey, Syria, Egypt, Italy, France, Greece, Spain, Germany and Belgium {Israel we are told will have a separate peace treaty}), which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast (Anti-Messiah in whom dwells Satan)
These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them:
for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are
called, and chosen, and faithful.
And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore
sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
And the ten horns (10 Kingdoms mentioned above) which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore (City Hierachy), and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their
kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
And the woman (City Hierachy) which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the
kings of the earth.
