30 DAYS OF MOURNING |
|
|
| The prophet Daniel spoke of an extra 30 days that would follow the 70th week of Daniel.� In Daniel 12:11 it reads, 'From the time the daily sacrifice is taken away and the sacrilegious object that causes desecration is set up to be worshiped, there will be 1,290 days.' There is 1,260 days in the first half of the 70th week.� There are the same number, 1,260 days in the second half.� At the midpoint we learned the object of desecration was erected, and Daniel says from that point there will be 1,290 days.� 30 extra days of mourning! |

|
| Seven Bowls revealed- |
|
|
| Revelation 15:1-8� Then I saw in heaven another significant event, and it was great and marvelous.� Seven angels were holding the seven last plagues, which would bring God's wrath to completion.� I saw before me what seemed to be a crystal sea mixed with fire.� And on it stood all the people who had been victorious over the beast and his statue and the number representing his name.� They were all holding harps that God had given them.� And they were singing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the Song of the Lamb. |
|
|
| Then I looked and I saw that the Temple in heaven, God's tabernacle, was thrown wide open!� The seven angels who were holding the bowls of the seven plagues came from the Temple, clothed in spotless white linen with gold belts across their chests.� And one of the four living beings handed each of the seven angels a gold bowl filled with the terrible wrath of God, who lives forever and forever.� The Temple was filled with smoke from God's glory and power.� No one could enter the Temple until the seven angels and completed pouring out the seven plagues.� |
|
|
| Here is the final judgment upon the earth as a whole.� The last seven plagues of God. |
|
|
| First Bowl- |
|
|
| Revelation 16:2� So the first angel left the Temple and poured out his bowl over the earth, and horrible malignant sores broke out on everyone who had the mark of the beast and who worshipped his statue. |
|
|
| Ouch!� Painful sores are placed on the followers of the beast. |
|
|
| Second Bowl- |
|
|
| Revelation 16:3� Then the second angel poured out his bowl on the sea, and it became like the blood of a corpse.� And everything in the sea died. |
|
|
| So much for our save the whales campaign!� All sea life will die at this judgment and the sea is full of blood. |
|
|
| Third Bowl- |
|
|
| Revelation 16:4� Then the third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and springs, and they became blood. |
|
|
| So you have to figure now that the world is in global panic over the shortage of drinking water.� Water is now an endangered resource.� Too harsh?� The angel of the water thinks not. |
|
|
| Revelation 16:5-7� And I heard the angel who had the authority over all the water saying, 'You are just in sending this judgment, O Holy One, who is and who always was.� For your holy people and your prophets have been killed, and their blood was poured out on the earth.� So you have given their murders blood to drink.� It is their just reward.'� And I heard a voice from the altar saying, 'Yes, Lord God Almighty, your punishments are true and just.' |
|
|
| Fourth Bowl- |
|
|
| Revelation 16:8-9� Then the fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, causing it to scorch everyone with it's fire.� Everyone was burned by this blast of heat, and they cursed the name of God, who sent all of these plagues.� They did not repent and give Him glory. |
|
|
| Nice order, God takes the water way then burns them.� Imagine the immense heat and the sun burns with no water in sight to sooth it.� |
|
|
|
Fifth Bowl- |
|
|
| Revelation 16:10-11� Then the fifth angel poured his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom was plunged into darkness.� And his subjects ground their teeth in anguish, and they cursed the God of heaven for their pains and sores.� But they refused to repent of all their evil deeds. |
|
|
| Can you picture it.� We don't know if this is a world wide black out because of the beasts wide kingdom or if it is a local blackout.� But we do know is that the follower of the beast have huge sores, terrible sun burns, no water to drink and now they can't see, it is pure darkness. |
|
|
|
Sixth Bowl- |
|
|
|
Revelation 16:12� Then the sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great Euphrates River, and it dried up so that the kings from the east could march their armies westward without hindrance. |
|
|
| The road is paved to Armageddon the final war.� |
|
|
|
Revelation 16:13-14� And I saw three evil spirits that looked like frogs leap from the mouth of the dragon, the beast, and the false prophet.� These miracle working demons caused all the rulers of the world to gather for battle against the Lord on that great judgment day of God Almighty. |
|
|
| Interesting.� Frog demons come from Satan, the Anti-Christ, and the False Prophet and sway the world's leaders to come to battle and fight God Almighty. |
|
|
|
Gather At Armageddon- |
|
|
|
Revelation 16:16� And they gathered all the rulers and their armies to a place called Armageddon in Hebrew.� |
|
|
|
All the armies of the world furious with God's judgment are gathered to take Him out. |
|
|
|
Seventh Bowl- |
|
|
|
Revelation 16:17-21� Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air.� And a mighty shout came from the throne of the Temple in heaven, saying, "It is finished!"� then the thunder crashed and rolled, and the lightning flashed.� And there was an earthquake greater than ever before in human history.� The great city of Babylon split in three pieces, and cities around the world fell into heaps of rubble.� And so God remembered all of Babylon's sins, and he made her drink the cup that was filled with the wine of his fierce wrath.� And every island disappeared, and all of the mountains were leveled.� There was a terrible hailstorm, and hailstones weighing seventy-five pounds fell from the sky onto the people below.� They cursed God because of the hailstorm, which was a very terrible plague. |
|
|
| God repays Babylon for it's many sins and creates a massive hailstorm to bring judgment on the earth. |
|
|
| Here lies a problem-� The islands and mountains were said to disappear at the Sixth Seal, how can they be here to be destroyed at the seventh bowl.� Hard to say.� But we know that the sixth seal and the seventh bowl are completely separate events. |

Rapture of 144,000 Jews-
Revelation 14:1-5 "Then I saw the Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with him were 144,000 who had his name and his Father's name written on their foreheads. And I heard a sound from heaven like the roaring of a great waterfall or the rolling of a mighty thunder. It was like the sound of many harpists playing together. This great choir sand a wonderful new song in front of the throne of God and before the four living creatures and the 24 elders. And no could learn this song excpet those 144,000 who had been redemend form the earth. |

|
| Faithful and True Rides Into battle- |
|
|
| Revelation 19:11-16� Then I saw heaven opened, and a white horse was standing there.� And the one sitting on the horse was named Faithful and True.� For he judges fairly and then goes to war.� His eyes were bright like flames of fire, and on his head were many crowns.� A name was written on him, and only he knew what it meant.� He was clothed with a� robe dipped in blood, and his title was the Word of God.� The armies of heaven dressed in pure white linen, followed him on white horses.� From his mouth came a sharp sword, and with it he struck down the nations.� He ruled them with an iron rod, and he trod the winepress of the� fierce wrath of almighty God.� On his robe and thigh was written this title: King of kings and Lord of lords. ��� |
|
|
| This is our SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST!� He will come and fight for his bride.� He will put an end to all evil be his faith and true judgment. |
|
|
| Birds of Prey- |
|
|
| Revelation 19:17-18� Then I saw an angel in the sun, shouting to the vultures flying high in the sky: 'Come!� Gather together for a great banquet God has prepared.� Come and eat the flesh of kings, captains, and strong warriors; of horses and their riders; and of all humanity, both free and slave, small and great.' |
|
|
|
Battle of Armageddon- |
|
|
|
Revelation 19:19� Then I saw the beast gathering the kings or the earth and their armies in order to fight against the one sitting on the horse and his army.� And the beast was captured, and with the false prophet who did mighty miracles on behalf of the beast-miracles that deceived all the people who had accepted the mark of the beast and who worshipped his statue.� Both the beast and the false prophet were thrown into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur.� Their entire army was killed by the sharp sword that came out of the mouth of the one riding the white horse.� And all the vultures of the sky gorged themselves on the dead bodies.� |
|
|
| Jesus throws the Anti-Christ and the False Prophet into the lake of fire our of the presence of the Lord forever.� They will go through eternal conscience torment. |
|
|
|
The winepress of God's wrath that Jesus trods that is described in Revelation 19:15 is described elsewhere: |
|
|
|
Isaiah 63:1-6� Who is this who comes from Edom, from the city of Bozrah (Petra), with his clothing stained red?� Who is this in� royal robes, marching in the greatness of his strength?� 'It is I, the Lord, announcing your salvation!� It is I, the Lord, who is mighty to save!' |
|
|
|
� ������������� Why are your clothes so red, as if you have been treading out grapes? |
|
|
|
��������������� 'I have trodden the winepress alone; no one was there to help me.� In my anger I have trampled my enemies as if they were grapes.� In my fury I have trampled my foes.� It is there blood that has stained my clothes.� For the time has come for me to avenge my people, to ransom them from their oppressors.� I looked, but no one came to help my people.� I was amazed and appalled at what I saw.� So I executed vengeance alone; unaided, I passed down judgment.� I crushed the nations in my anger and made them stagger and fall to the ground.' |
|
|
|
Why Jesus our SAVIOR is coming from Petra could have many meaning since this is the house of deliverance for his people from the beast. |
|
|
|
Revelation 14:14-20� Then I saw the Son of Man sitting on a white cloud.� He had a gold crown on his head and a sharp sickle in his hand. |
|
|
|
��������������� Then an angel came from the Temple and called in a loud voice to the one sitting on the cloud. 'Use the sickle, for the time has come for you to harvest; the crop is ripe on the earth.'� So the one sitting on the cloud swung his sickle over the earth and the whole earth was harvested. |
|
|
|
��������������� After that another angel came from the Temple in heaven, and he also had a sharp sickle.� Then another angel, who has power to destroy the world with fire, shouted to the angel with the sickle.� 'use your sickle now and gather the cluster of grapes from the vines of the earth, for they are ripe for judgment.'� So the angel swung his sickle on the earth and loaded the grapes into a great winepress of God's wrath.� And the grapes were trodden in the winepress outside the city, and blood flowed from the winepress in a stream about 180 miles long as high as a horses bridle.��� |
|
|
|
Here is a different description of the winepress judgment. Is it a contradiction or are they an elaboration of another?� The angel calling to the birds of prey says to feast on the flesh of all mankind, not just those in this war.� Maybe each description is describing Jesus acts of judging all the world.� Those that perused his children to Petra, the armies in the battle of Armageddon through sword, and all the rest of the earth through sickle.� |
