Chapters 28-31 Various passages from Lamentations Chapter 2 Psalm 80:8-18 Reference recommend: scriptures which call Israel the vine: Jer.2:21, Hosea 10:1, Isaiah 5:1-7 & Ezekiel Chapters 15, 17, & 19. Reference Matt. 24:16 2 Chronicles 36:15-16 Joel 3:13 Various passages from Jeremiah Chapter 6 1 Revelation 14 Outline Revelation 14:1 This reference to Mount Zion is often confused with the Mount Zion of Jerusalem. King David ruled from Zion. The Zion of GOD’S Throne room is in Heaven. Mount Zion of Jerusalem is the tallest point. Zion of Jerusalem is the namesake of GOD’S Zion in Heaven. Again we have found the 144K Jewish Super Pastors of Revelation 7 & they are in Heaven. Revelation 14:2-3 Now we see why this is the Zion Throne room of GOD in Heaven and not the Mount Zion of the Earth. 144K are in Heaven before the actual throne of GOD singing and praising Heavenly Father with a song that belongs to them alone. GOD’S Plan for Man by Rev. Finnis Jennings Drake. The 144K will be in Heaven between the 7th Trumpet Judgement and the Vial Judgements. They will have been Raptured. Tribulation Saints are caught up and taken away before the Wrath of GOD is poured out during the Great Tribulation. Revelation 14:4 144K are physically and spiritually clean. The 144K will be able to travel and convert millions. The 144K will not participate in any form of false worship. The Jewish New Testament Commentary written by Messianic Jewish author David H. Stern: These are not male celibates (the 144k) despite the explicit mention of women. Rather, they are people of both sexes who are faithful to GOD and His Son, as the rest of chapter 14 verses 4 and 5 makes clear. Fornication is a common Biblical metaphor for idolatry. (As in false Worship.) Revelation 14:5 This sounds simple enough: the 144K are truthful during their ministry. A little ditty: Beauty be an empty shell if thine inner self tis not beautiful as well. Revelation 14:6-7 This is the only place in the Bible in which an Angel, publicly at least, ministers unto the human race in general. 2 At this time the Church has been Raptured; the 144K Jewish Super Pastors have been Raptured; the Tribulation saints, those saved by hearing the Gospel of the Kingdom by the 144k, have also been Raptured; the Two Witnesses, most likely Moses and Elijah in Jerusalem, have been slain, resurrected & Raptured. Remaining believers refuse the mark of the beast. Surviving remnant of Jews are in Petra under the Lords care and out of the antichrist’s reach. Only angels can now publicly give the Gospel. Message from this Angel: GOD’S Wrath is coming. Revelation 14:8 John is saying that twice from his perspective Babylon is about to fall. Babylon spoken about by all of the Apostles and disciples in Jesus day was Rome. In Revelation 17 the midway point of the Tribulation is the demise of the false one world religion. Revelation 14:9-12 The antichrist will tell Christians it’s Ok, you can take my Mark and still be Christian. Scripture clearly indicates this is not the case. Revelation 14:13 History has proven that the Holy Spirit gives resolve and compassion in order to strengthen and comfort those who face death or have to endure persecution for Christ. John states Blessed are those who die in Christ during the Great Tribulation. Revelation 14:14 Christ would arrive and depart upon a cloud of the Holy Spirit. The Apostles, including John, saw Jesus depart the Earth upon a cloud Raptured alive. Jesus would return one day upon the clouds of Heaven. Revelation 14:15-16 The Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him. Revelation 14:17-19 Second cutting is a gathering of souls destined for GOD’S Wrath. John is speaking exclusively to the Jewish people. This is the final dispersion of Israel by the hand of the antichrist in which even he is unwittingly fulfilling GOD’S will and purpose. These verses are specifically aimed at unrepentant Christ denying apostate Israel. The Wrath of GOD to be poured out full strength upon the antichrist and the rest of disobedient mankind. 3 TheTemple in Jerusalem was adorned in stone by vines and clusters of grapes. Revelation 14:20 183.93 miles is 1600 stadia & modern Judea or Palestine is exactly 185 miles long. Blood shed takes place outside of the city meaning people are fleeing. The Romans under Hadrian slew the Jewish inhabitants of Betar after Bar Kosibia it’s defender had been slain. The carnage continued until the horses waded in blood up to their nostrils and blood rolled along the stones the size of forty seah about 9 US quarts, and flowed into the sea a distance of four miles. This type of slaughter will happen at this time by the hand of the antichrist just as Jesus predicted. 4 .

  • Revelation 14 Lesson # 9 “God’S Victory and the Beast’S Defeat”
    1 Revelation 14 Lesson # 9 “God’s Victory and the Beast’s Defeat” The Lamb and the 144,000 A. The fate of the 144,000 1. (14:1-3) The Lamb and the 144,000 on Mount Zion a. A Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with Him one hundred and forty-four thousand: These 144,000 were identified as a group of Jewish believers in Rev. 7 who minister (preach the gospel) during the great tribulation and are given a seal of protection throughout that period. b. Standing on Mount Zion: They gathered on Mount Zion because Zion – is the ancient name for the hills that make up Jerusalem – it is the place where the Messiah gathers His redeemed and reigns over the earth (Psalm 48, Isaiah 24:23, Joel 2:32, Obadiah 17 and 21, Micah 4:1, 4:7). Standing on Mount Zion with the Lamb shows that they emerge victorious from the great tribulation and are triumphant over the beast, worshipping, and standing firm with Jesus. i. In Revelation 7, the 144,000 are seen at the beginning of the Great Tribulation. In Revelation 14, it shows them in triumph at the end of the Great Tribulation. c. Having His Father’s name written on their foreheads: The followers of Satan and the beast may have a mark on their hand or forehead (Revelation 13:16-17). But this mark is just a copy of the idea behind the identifying mark on the foreheads of each one of the 144,000, showing that they belong to the Father.

The earth opens its mouth to swallow the water that the Dragon intends to destroy her with. The Dragon then pursues her children, attempting to make war with them. Discussion Question #1 Koester notes that the woman in labor should be understood as the people of God, and notes, “Christian readers might naturally identify her with Mary… By the end of the chapter, however, it becomes clear that the woman is the mother of all believers…” (123) Is this interpretation of the woman valid? Why or why not? Revelation 13: The Beasts ● The Beast from the Sea (13:1-10): 10 Horns and 7 Heads and 10 Diadems. It was worshipped, given authority to conquer and was utterly blasphemous.

  • Charts on the Book of Revelation Is a Useful Supplement to Courses on the Book of Revelation in Both the Church and the Academy
    “Charts on the Book of Revelation is a useful supplement to courses on the book of Revelation in both the church and the academy. Wilson’s charts cover a range of historical, literary, rhetorical, and interpretive issues that will guide the careful student in making more viable interpretations of this difficult yet enriching book. An excellent resource to use with today’s visual learners as they approach this highly visual book for study.” —ROBERT WALTER WALL The Paul T. Walls Professor of Biblical and Wesleyan Studies Chair, Department of Christian Scriptures Seattle Pacific University Author of Revelation in the New International Biblical Commentary series “This is an enormously helpful book, bringing together in visual form extensive comparative data both from and about Revelation. Not to be confused with prophecy charts of a bygone era, here we find charts on everything from various views of authorship and date to extensive lists of scriptural allusions and verbal parallels, from John’s use of symbols and numbers to all references to angels and demons—and much else—seventy-nine in all. Each is carefully annotated with the source of the information. While the parallels are not always convinc- ing, they always provide an interesting place to start and will save the reader much time in collecting data.” —DAVID L. BArr Brage Golding Distinguished Professor Wright State University Editor of Reading the Book of Revelation “Wilson’s Charts on the Book of Revelation synthesizes an enormous amount of material relevant to the study of the Revelation of John and makes it available in a clear, useful, and unusual format for students of the Bible.” —DAVID E.

  • The Book of Revelation, Chapter 14
    The Revelation of Jesus Christ: The plan of eternity Chapter 14 Introduction to Chapter 14 The book of Revelation is a book of decision. The Earth’s inhabitants must choose their eternity, either they choose life in heaven or an eternity in hell. The choice is between the Creator and the created. The 14th chapter bears out this at the “Midpoint” of the tribulation period. Chapter 13 revealed the spiritual dimensions behind the events taking place on the Earth, leading to the close of the Midpoint and the start of the last half of Daniel’s 70th week. Satan and his angels loose their place in Heaven at the Midpoint. Satan inhabits the Antichrist, and through his kingdom makes his last stand against Jesus Christ. Satan, the Beast (antichrist) and the false prophet form an un-holy trinity and work in unison to bring the remaining inhabitants of the earth under Satan’s control. Satan uses his old strategies on a grand scale. Through the resurrected Antichrist and the false prophet; military, political, religious and economic control is exercised on the earth. All who refuse submission to the Beast, his kingdom and person are hunted and killed. There will be little hope for those left on the earth. Except for the select group of Jews who escaped into the wilderness in Revelation 12, the whole world is under Satan’s dominion for the last half of the tribulation, leading to the final confrontation in Israel at Armageddon. God in his mercy intervenes on this seemingly hopeless condition of man. In the first half of the Tribulation period, God opened a door for those “Left Behind”.

However desirable Revelation 17:1-7 outward unity may be, it cannot be established at the expense of the truth of God! Introduction 1.

The delight to all the earth. The next chapter deals with the political demise of Babylon. Judgment is the great harlot (v. 1) is nothing but the ecumenical hodge-podge of the last days.

  • The Final Harvest of God) Revelation 14:14-20
    1 When God Judges The Earth (The Final Harvest of God) Revelation 14:14-20 Introduction Ï The great British Baptist preacher Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834 – 1892) preached a sermon at the Metropolitan Tabernacle in London in 1876. The title of his message was “The Harvest and the Vintage.” The text was Revelation 14:14-20. In that sermon Spurgeon affirmed his belief that, “the Jews, as a people, will yet own Jesus of Nazareth, the Son of David, as their King, and that they will return to their own land.” He also went on to say, “It is certain also that our Lord Jesus Christ shall come again to this earth, and that He shall reign amongst His ancients gloriously, and that there will be a thousand years of joy and peace such as were never known on this earth before.” To these affirmations he added, “[It] seems to me to be clearly revealed in the Scripture, that there is to come, some when – we know not when – a solemn winding up of all events of this world’s history.” Ï Spurgeon was right on target at all points in his assessment. Spurgeon also was right on target in building his argument from the book of Revelation in general and 14:14-20 in particular. It is here in this text that the final harvest of God is depicted both in its rightness, but also in its horror. It is here that we gain a glimpse of the bowl judgements. It is here that we gain a glimpse of Armageddon (cf.

  • Revelation 17-18 Sermon Discussion Questions 1
    Revelation 17-18 Sermon Discussion Questions 1. What thoughts, questions, or feelings do you have after listening to the sermon or reading the passage? 2. In chapters 17-18, the fall of “BaBylon” is depicted, as well as the ways of the “Prostitute”. These two images, along with the Beast and the Dragon are ways of descriBing forces of evil in the world. Along with the Biblical view of the “flesh” (Gal 5:13), evil is something that we all experience in us and the world around us. Do you think that most New Yorkers Believe that evil exists? What are some of the common ways that Non-Christians explain evil? What are some of the common ways that Non-Christians attempt to overcome evil? Do you find any of these explanations or approaches compelling? 3. Revelation 18:4-8 is warning the people to come out of BaBylon, which in this case is the ways of the world/Rome that is opposed to the Way of Jesus (the LamB). Read Matthew 7:13 out loud (you can choose one reader). How does the message of Revelation match with what Jesus says in Matthew 7:13? 4. Andy Stanley says that direction – not intention – determines destination in his book The Principle of the Path. Do you find this statement to be true? In what ways can peoples’ intentions Be different than their actual direction? 5. Drew mentioned that most of us judge ourselves By our intentions But we judge others based on their behaviors. Do you find this to be true? If yes, why do you think this is the case? 6.

  • Revelation 14 PREVIEW of the END – CHRIST ’S 2ND COMING
    Revelation 14 PREVIEW OF THE END – CHRIST ’S 2ND COMING IN THIS CHAPTER WE ARE REINTRODUCED TO THE 144,000 JEWISH EVANGELISTS AND IN ANTICIPATION OF THE LAST SEVEN JUDGMENTS THE FOLLOWING EVENTS ARE FORETOLD : I. The Preservation of the believing remnant of Israel II. The final Gospel message given to the Gentiles III. The end-time Wrath of God upon the enemies of Jesus Christ IV. The Judgment & Destruction of the end-time world system—‘Babylon’ V. The Doom of the Worshippers of Satan the Anti-Christ VI. The blessedness of those who remain faithful & die for their faith VII. The Battle of Armageddon & the gruesome harvest of the ungodly This chapter continues and the next [chapter 15] concludes the ‘introductory’ section to the last seven judgments, the 7 BOWLS OF WRATH , which began in chapter 12. Additional details are given which describe the activities and conditions in Heaven and on earth near the end of the GREAT TRIBULATION PERIOD . This chapter and the next stand in sharp contrast to the last chapter in which the dragon, the anti-Christ and the False Prophet have a field day. Just when it seems evil will overwhelm righteousness and win the day, we are reminded that God is still in control, His plans cannot be thwarted and there remains a vital witness to God’s Truth and Message of Salvation. These days of Tribulation and Judgment will be cut short and anti-Christ’s rule will last only 3 ½ years. Prior to the revelation of the last seven plagues, we are given a ‘breather’ and fresh insight into the battle between good [God] and evil [Satan].
