Little Children
What Jesus says is necessary.
18:3 ... Except ye be converted, and become as little children,
ye shall not enter into the Kingdom Of Heaven. Matt.18:3
10:15 ...Verily I say unto you, whosoever shall not receive the
Kingdom Of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein. Mark 10:15
18:14 Even so, it is not the will of your Father, which is in heaven,
that one of these little ones should perish. Matt.18:14
13:34 A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another;
as I have loved you, that ye also, love one another.
13:35 By this shall all men know, that ye are my disciples, if ye have love,
one to another. John 13:34-35
... Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the
Kingdom Of Heaven, but to them it is not given. Matt.13:11
...unto you it is given to know the mystery(s) of the Kingdom Of God.
But unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables.
Mark 4:11; Luke 8:10
11:13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children;
how much more shall your Heavenly Father give The Holy Spirit,
to them that ask Him? Luke 11:13
Q 1. Why is God's focus on His Son Jesus?
8:28 Then said Jesus unto them, when ye have lifted up The Son of man,
then shall ye know that I am He, and that I do nothing of Myself;
but as My Father hath taught Me, I speak these things. 8:29 And He that
sent Me is with Me. The Father hath not left Me alone; for I do always
those things that please Him. John 8:28-29
3:16 And Jesus, when He was baptized, went up straightway out of the water.
And lo, the heavens were opened unto Him, and He saw The Spirit of God
descending like a dove, and lighting upon Him. 3:17 And lo, a voice from
heaven saying, This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
Matt.3:16-17
17:5 While He yet spake behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them.
And behold, a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is My beloved Son,
in whom I am well pleased; hear ye Him. Matt.17:5
1:11 And there came a voice from heaven saying, Thou art My beloved Son,
in whom I am well pleased. Mark 1:11
(1)
9:7 And there was a cloud that overshadowed them. And a voice came
out of the cloud saying, This is My beloved Son. Hear Him. Mark 9:7
3:21 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass that
Jesus also, being baptized and praying, the heaven was opened,
3:22 and The Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape, like a dove,
upon Him, and a voice came from heaven, which said,
Thou art My Beloved Son; in Thee I am well pleased. Luke 3:21-22
9:35 And there came a voice out of the cloud saying,
This is My Beloved Son. Hear Him. Luke 9:35
12:28 Father, glorify Thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven saying,
I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.
12:29 The people therefore, that stood by and heard it, said that it thundered.
Others said, an angel spake to Him.
12:30 Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of Me,
but for your sakes. John 12:28-30
In John 8:28-29 Jesus is teaching us of the relationship that He has
with God The Father. Jesus tells us how God The Father sent Jesus
into the world to show The Father to the world, in the person of
His Son Jesus Christ. Jesus tells us that He is saying and doing are all
the things that God wants Him to say and do. Jesus also tells us He
Himself always does what pleases The Father, and that is why Jesus
is never alone, for The Father is always with Him.
As a result of Jesus always saying and doing what pleases God The Father,
seven times The Father's voice is heard from heaven, by witnesses, telling
them that His Son Jesus is doing God's will, and that God The Father is being
glorified through His Son Jesus. Also, God says He is well pleased with His
beloved Son Jesus, and that the witnesses should pay attention to what
Jesus is saying and doing.
Q 2. What does SON Of God mean? The Entire Spirit Of GOD, is in a Man.
The Holy Spirit Of God Is Born of God.
In flesh only, is Jesus a man. In His Spirit, Jesus is All God.
Jesus was sent from God, to be The Light Of God, as God, in the world.
12:45 And he that seeth Me, seeth Him that sent Me. 12:46 I am come a light into
the world, that whosoever believeth on Me, should not abide in darkness.
John 12:45-46
3:34 For He whom God hath sent, speaketh the words of God.
For God giveth not The Spirit by measure, unto Him. John 3:34
(2)
Jesus is the only person in all of scripture that is referred to
as being all man and All God. He is the only one ever mentioned to have
The Holy Spirit without measure, and the only one that can baptize with
The Holy Spirit.
1:32 And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from
heaven like a dove, and it abode, upon Him.
1:33 And I knew Him not. But He that sent me to baptize with water,
the same said unto me, upon whom thou shalt see The Spirit
descending, and remaining on Him, the same is He which baptizeth
with The Holy Ghost. John 1:32-33
3:11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance. But He that cometh after
me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear. He shall baptize
you with The Holy Ghost, and with fire. Matt. 3:11; Mark 1:8; Luke 3:16
20:21... Peace to you. As my Father hath sent Me, even so, send I you.
20:22 And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and saith unto them,
Receive ye The Holy Ghost. John 20:21-22
In John 1:1-5; and 1: 9-14 we are told, from the beginning, how God The Word,
The Light Of Life and The Light Of Men, made everything. Then, The Word Of God,
God Himself, came unto His own creation, in the human form of Jesus Christ, The
Light of Life, The Son Of God,
and those in darkness, comprehended it not.
1:1 In the beginning was The Word, and The Word was with God, and The Word
was God. 1:2 The same was in the beginning with God. 1:3 All things were
made by Him; and without Him was not anything made that was made.
1:4 In Him was life; and the life was the light of men. 1:5 And The Light shineth in
darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.*** (skipped 1:6-8)***
1:9 That was The True Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
1:10 He was in the world and the world was made by him, and the world knew
Him not. 1:11 He came unto His own, and His own received Him not.
1:12 But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of
God, even to them that believe on His name. 1:13 Which were born, not of
blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His
Glory, the Glory, as of the Only Begotten Of The Father,)
full of grace and truth. John 1: 9-14
In John 1:14 we are told that Jesus is the only begotten of The Father, full of grace
and truth. Born of God Himself, therefore being God Himself, in the flesh. And
The Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us. God's only Son is The Holy Spirit
God Himself in the body of Jesus Christ. In John 20:22 Jesus gives what is His to His
disciples. He breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost
(3)
Q 3. How can God's Child be God? GOD IS A SPIRIT.
Once we know that God Is A Spirit, it becomes clear how and why the
human body of Jesus Christ is The Son Of God, ...God is a Spirit John 4:24
God chose to reveal Himself to us in the human body of Jesus Christ.
That is why The Lord God, Jesus Christ, is also known as The Son Of God.
2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the
tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ;
2:8 For in Him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead, bodily. Col.2: 8-9
3:16 And without controversy, great is the mystery of godliness. God was
manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the
Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up, into glory. 1Tim. 3:16
1:11 He came unto his own, and His own received Him not.1:12 But as many as
received Him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to
them that believe on His name. 1:13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of
the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. John 1:11-13
4:22Ye worship ye know not what. We know what we worship. For Salvation is
of the Jews. 4:23 But the hour cometh and now is, when the true worshippers
shall worship The Father in Spirit, and in Truth. For The Father seeketh such,
to worship Him. 4:24 God is a Spirit. And they that worship him must
worship him in Spirit, and in Truth. John 4:22-24
5:21 For as The Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth(gives life to) them;
even so, The Son (gives life to) quickeneth whom he will. John 5:21
6:63 It is The Spirit that quickeneth (gives life); the flesh profiteth nothing.
The words that I speak unto you, they are Spirit, and they are Life.
John 6:63
In John 5:21 and 6:63 Jesus tells us He can give life to whom He will,
and that His words are Spirit, which is Life. The flesh counts for nothing,
and is not really alive, unless The Holy Spirit Of God is living in it.
If Jesus Christ, and The Holy Spirit Of God are alive in you, you shall never die.
The Holy Spirit Of God cannot be killed. If you have The Holy Spirit Of God;
The Baptism from Jesus, you are Born Of God, into His Family, and you have Life.
11:25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection and the life. He that believeth
in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live. 11:26 And whosoever liveth and
believeth in Me, shall never die. Believest thou this? John 11:25-26
14:23 ...If a man love Me, he will keep My words. And My Father will love him,
and We will come unto him, and make Our abode with him. John 14:23
(4)
Q 4. Why did God Himself come as one of His Children?
To Glorify God The Father, The Holy Spirit Of God, and to reveal God Himself
to us, which Jesus did. Yet, He remains The Obedient Child, unto death.
17:1These words spake Jesus, and lifted up His eyes to heaven and said,
Father, the hour is come; glorify Thy Son, that Thy Son also may glorify Thee.
17:2As Thou hast given Him power over all flesh, that He should give eternal life
to as many as Thou hast given him. 17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might
know Thee; The Only True God, and Jesus Christ, whom Thou hast sent.
17:4 I have glorified Thee on the earth. I have finished the work which Thou
gavest Me to do. 17:5 And now, O Father, glorify Thou Me with Thine Own
Self, with the glory which I had with Thee, before the world was. John 17:1-5
(John 1:1-4)
11:27All things are delivered unto Me of My Father. And no man knoweth The Son
but The Father. Neither knoweth any man The Father, save The Son, and he
to whomsoever The Son will reveal Him. 11:28 Come unto Me, all ye that
labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 11:29 Take My yoke
upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart ; and ye shall
find rest unto your souls. 11:30 For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.
Matt.11:27-30
10:22 All things are delivered to Me of My Father. And no man knoweth who
The Son is, but The Father; and who The Father is, but The Son, and he
to whom The Son will reveal Him. Luke 10:22
12:45 And he that seeth Me, seeth Him that sent Me.
12:46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever
believeth on Me, should not abide in darkness. John 12:45-46
14:9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you,
and yet hast thou not known Me, Philip? He that hath seen Me,
hath seen The Father. And how sayest thou then, shew us The Father?
14:10 Believest thou not, that I am in The Father, and The Father in Me?
The words that I speak unto you, I speak not of Myself.
But The Father that dwelleth in Me, He doeth the works. John 14: 9-10
Jesus tells us in John 17:3-4 & Mat11:45-46 that Eternal Life is to know Him, and
The Father, Whom He has revealed, as The Holy Spirit Of God alive in man,
in Jesus Himself. Also; Jesus has glorified The Father by preaching The Kingdom
OF God, healing the sick raising the dead and calling His chosen to repentance. In
so doing, Jesus has fulfilled the prophesy of Isaiah as read by Jesus in Luke 4:18-19
Even though Jesus is God as He so states, yet, He is meek and humble, always giving
credit to God The Father, as a Child who honors His Father. Also, Jesus continues to
remain obedient to God The Father's plan for our Salvation, even though it will
cost Jesus His Own physical life, which He did sacrifice for us.
(5)
Q 5. Why did God sacrifice His Only Child for us?
To show us our God, The Real GOD, is a Just God, and to reconcile us to Himself,
if we go to Jesus and become a Child of The Father, as Jesus did. No one can tell
God that He asks them to go through something He Himself did not go through,
from birth, to death, and then; the First, and Only, to Resurrect from the dead.
If believe in Jesus who was crucified and died for our sins, And Is Resurrected
for our justification, and if we repent from our sins and ask Jesus for
forgiveness of our sins, believing in, and doing, what Jesus says and does,
then we are His Children, and shall not die.
11:25 ... I am the resurrection, and The Life. He that believeth in Me,
though he were dead, yet shall he live. 11:26 And whosoever liveth and
believeth in Me, shall never die. Believest thou this? John 11: 25-26
4:24 But for us also, to whom it (righteousness by faith) shall be imputed,
if we believe on Him that raised up Jesus our Lord, from the dead;
4:25 Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for
our justification. Romans 4:24-25
5:1 Therefore, being justified by faith, we have peace with God through
our Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 5:1
3:14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must
The Son of man be lifted up; 3:15 that whosoever believeth in Him should
not perish, but have eternal life. 3:16 For God so loved the world,
that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him,
should not perish, but have everlasting life. 3:17 For God sent not
His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through
Him, might be saved. John 3:14-17
13:34 A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another;
as I have loved you, that ye also, love one another.13:35 By this shall all
men know, that ye are My disciples, if ye have love, one to another.
John 13:34-35
4:16 And we have known, and believed the love that God hath to us. God is Love.
And he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. 4:17 Herein is
our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment.
Because as He Is, so are we, in this world. 4:19 We love Him, because He
first loved us. 1st John 4:16,17,19
14:23 ...If a man love Me, he will keep My words. And My Father will love him,
and We will come unto him, and make Our abode with him. John 14:23
3:19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Be zealous therefore, and repent.
3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock. If any man hear My voice, and open
the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with Me.
3:21To him that overcometh, will I grant to sit with Me in My throne, even as I
also overcame, and Am set down with My Father in His throne. 3:22 He that
hath an ear, let him hear what The Spirit saith unto the churches. Rev 3:19-22
(6)
Q 6. How did God reconcile us to Himself? By the willing death of Jesus.
Being a Just God, Jesus knows that He must die physical death because of
Adam's sin, and our sins. Jesus willingly died for His own children, for those
whom He has chosen, and who The Father has given Him, who will suckle from
Him in all things, as Jesus suckled from The Father. Jesus will lead all His Children
unto eternal life, hated by the world, but reconciled to God, by faith in Him.
The Family Of God The Father, God The Son, and
God The Holy Spirit; Is Righteous.
10:15 As The Father knoweth Me, even so, know I The Father. And I lay down
My life for the sheep. 10:16 And other sheep I have which are not of this fold.
Them also I must bring, and they shall hear My voice; and there shall be one
fold, and One Shepherd. 10:17 Therefore doth My Father love Me, because I
lay down My life that I might take it again.10:18 No man taketh it from Me,
but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to
take it again. This commandment have I received of My Father. John 10:15-18
Jesus tells us how He feels, as The Son Of God, awaiting the baptism that
He must accomplish. In Luke 12:49-51 Jesus tells us that He feels confined
(straightened); as The Holy Spirit Of God living in human form. Jesus also
tells us that not everyone will accept Him in Spirit, as God on earth in human
form. He tells us that His plan of Salvation, and His presence on earth, as God
in man, will kindle a fire that will rage with division because of Him.
But those who follow Him, and His Gospel, will be reconciled to The Father,
by His Grace; through faith and hope in Jesus. Romans 8:24; Ephesians 2:8
12:49 I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?
12:50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be
accomplished! 12:51 Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth?
I tell you nay; but rather, division. Luke 12:49-51
15:18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated Me before it hated you.
John 15:18
5:10 For if, when we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of
His Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.
Romans 5:10
5:18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to Himself by Jesus Christ,
and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation. 5:19 To wit, that God was in
Christ, reconciling the world unto Himself, not imputing their trespasses unto
them; and hath committed unto us, the word of reconciliation. 5:20 Now then,
we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you, by us.
We pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. 2Cor. 5:18-20
2:17 Wherefore, in all things, it behooved Him to be made like unto His brethren,
that He might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God,
to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. 2:18 For in that He Himself hath
suffered, being tempted, He is able to succor them that are tempted.
Heb 2:17-18
(7)
Q7. What must we do to show God we accept His Reconciliation; His Son Jesus?
Jesus tells us He is the Only Way to get to God The Father.
Jesus is the only one capable of making the unblemished, sinless sacrifice
that is acceptable to God The Father. God The Father will pass over our sins
if we walk as His Son Jesus walked, in subjection to the will of The Father.
Only those in Jesus can come to The Father by The Holy Spirit of God, Who is alive
in His Children. They are reconciled to Him through the sacrifice of His death in His
Son Jesus, by keeping His commandments, with faith, in love, holiness, and truth.
Love God, Love His Son
6:44 No man can come to Me, except The Father which hath sent Me,
draw him. And I will raise him up at the last day.
10:30 I and my Father Are One.
14:6 ... I am The Way, The Truth, and The Life. No one cometh
unto The Father, but by Me.14:7 If ye had known Me, ye should have known
My Father also. And from henceforth ye know Him, and have seen Him.
14:15 If ye love Me, keep My Commandments.
15:10 If ye keep My Commandments, ye shall abide in My love; even as I have
kept My Father's Commandments, and abide in His love.
John 6: 44; 10:30; 14: 6-7 ; 14:15; 15:10
12:9 Furthermore, we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and
we gave them reverence. Shall we not much rather be in subjection unto
The Father Of Spirits, and live? Hebrews 12: 9
2:4He that saith, I know Him, and keepeth not His Commandments, is a liar, and
the truth is not in him. 2:5 But whoso keepeth His Word, in him verily is the love
of God perfected. Hereby know we that we are in Him. 2:6 He that saith he
abideth in Him ought himself also so to walk, even as He walked. 1John 2: 4-6
1:19 For it pleased The Father that in Him should all fullness dwell; 1:20 and having
made peace through the blood of His cross, by Him to reconcile all things unto
Himself; by Him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.
1:21 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked
works, yet now hath He reconciled 1:22 in the body of His flesh, through death,
to present you, holy and unblamable, and un-reprovable in His sight; 1:23 if ye
continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the
hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every
creature which is under heaven; whereof I, Paul, am made a minister.
Col.1:19-23
1:15 But as He which hath called you Is Holy, so be ye Holy, in all manner of
conversation; 1:16 because it is written, Be ye Holy; for I Am Holy.1Peter1:15-16
5:7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are;
unleavened. For even Christ, our Passover, is sacrificed for us. 5:8 Therefore,
let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice
and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity, and truth.
1st.Cor. 5:7-8
(8)
Q 8. Must we become as little children?
Jesus tells us only if we become like babes and sucklings, living life as little
children in Him, will our praise of God be perfected. He tells us we will not
enter into The Kingdom Of God unless we receive it as a little child, nor will we
enter The Kingdom Of Heaven, unless we be converted, humble ourselves,
and become as little children.
11:28 Come unto Me, all ye that labor, and are heavy laden, and I will give you
rest. 11:29 Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly
in heart, and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 11:30 For My yoke is easy, and
My burden is light. Matt.11:28-30
19:13 Then were there brought unto Him little children, that He should put His
hands on them, and pray. And the disciples rebuked them. 19:14 But Jesus
said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not to come unto Me. For of such
is The Kingdom Of Heaven. 19:15 And He laid His hands on them, and
departed thence. Matt.19:13-15
10:13 And they brought young children to Him, that He should touch them.
And His disciples rebuked those that brought them. 10:14 But when Jesus
saw it, He was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little
children to come unto Me, and forbid them not. For of such is The Kingdom
Of God.10:15 Verily I say unto you, whosoever shall not receive The Kingdom
Of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein. 10:16 And He took them
up in His arms, put His hands upon them, and blessed them. Mark 10:13-16
18:15 And they brought unto Him also infants, that He would touch them.
But when His disciples saw it, they rebuked them. 18:16 But Jesus called
them unto Him and said, Suffer little children to come unto Me, and forbid
them not. For of such is The Kingdom Of God. 18:17 Verily I say unto you,
whosoever shall not receive The Kingdom Of God as a little child, shall in
no wise enter therein. Luke 18:15-17
21:15 And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that He
did and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the Son
Of David; they were sore displeased, 21:16 and said unto Him, hearest Thou
what, these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read,
Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings Thou hast perfected praise?
Matt.21: 15-16
18:2 And Jesus called a little child unto Him, and set him in the midst of them
18:3 and said, Verily I say unto you, except ye be converted, and become as
little children, ye shall not enter into The Kingdom Of Heaven. 18:4 Whosoever
therefore, shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in
TheKingdom Of Heaven. 18:5 And whoso shall receive one such little child
in My name, receiveth Me. 18:6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones
which believe in Me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about
his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. Matt.18:1-6
(See Also: Matt.23:11; Mark 9:35; Mark 10:44.)
(9)
Q 9. Who is the greatest? The One Who became like The Littlest Child.
20:25 But Jesus called them unto Him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the
Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great, exercise auth-
ority upon them.20:26 But it shall not be so among you. But whosoever will be
great among you, let him be your minister; 20:27 and whosoever will be chief
among you, let him be your servant 20:28 Even as The Son of man came not
to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give His life, a ransom for many.
Matt20:25-28
22:25 And He said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over
them; and they that exercise authority upon them, are called benefactors.
22:26 But ye shall not be so. But he that is greatest among you, let him be as the
younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve. 22:27 For whether is
greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? Is not he that sitteth at
meat? But I am among you as he that serveth. Luke 22:25-27
9:33 And He came to Capernaum. And being in the house He asked them,
What was it that ye disputed among yourselves by the way? 9:34 But they held
their peace. For by the way they had disputed among themselves who should
be the greatest. 9:35 And He sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto
them, If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant
of all. 9:36 And He took a child, and set him in the midst of them. And when He
had taken him in His arms, He said unto them, 9:37 Whosoever shall receive
one of such children in My name, receiveth Me. And whosoever shall receive
Me, receiveth not Me, but Him that sent Me. Mark 9:33-37; also: Matt.18:1-6
9:46Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be
greatest. 9:47 And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child
and set him by Him, 9:48 and said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this child
in My name, receiveth Me. And whosoever shall receive Me, receiveth Him that
sent Me. For he that is least among you all, the same shall be great.
Luke 9:47-48
The Child Jesus was always obedient to The Father's will, and therefore, sinless.
Jesus, as sinless, and not deserving of death, became the least of all when He
took on your sins and my sins. Therefore, Jesus is become The Greatest Of All!
He sacrificed His righteous, sinless life, for those of us who are unrighteous
sinners. As unrighteous sinners, we are deserving of eternal damnation, in the
lake of fire. But Jesus has made it possible for us to go to Him in prayer, for
the forgiveness of sin. We can now become God's Little Children, but only by
knowing Jesus, and following His lead, living with Him in this life, that we may
also live with Him in Eternal Life.
13:33Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek Me. And as I said
unto the Jews, whither I go ye cannot come. So now I say to you 13:34 a new
commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another as I have loved you,
that ye also, love one another. John 13:33 -34 See: Mat8:20; 9:22
While Jesus was still on earth, He called His Disciples, and those of any age that
believed on Him, children, sons and daughters. It seems apparent that all who love
and believe on Him, are HIS Little Ones. Who are we to say who He might choose to
become HIS Child? We must learn to love all those that Jesus loves. All HIS Creation,
which He now has reconciled to Himself Mk.5:34;10:24; Lk.6:48
(10)
Q10. Why did God The Son die on the cross? He obeyed The Father's Will.
Being in submission to God The Father, as a little child, in obedience, in that He
feared, Jesus tells us in Luke 22:37 that He must fulfill the prophesy of His death
on the cross with the thieves, and show the world by His obedience, His love for
God The Father, He is willing to keep God's Commandment that He die for our
salvation, and to rise again, High Priest, Savior, and LORD.
22:37 For I say unto you that this that is written, must yet be accomplished in
Me; And He was reckoned among the transgressors. For the things
concerning Me, have an end. Luke 22:37
14:31 But that the world may know that I love The Father; and as The Father
gave Me Commandment, even so, I do. Arise, let us go hence. John 14:31
2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus. 2:6 Who, being in the
form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God 2:7 but made Himself
of no reputation, and took upon Him the form of a servant and was made in the
likeness of men. 2:8 And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself
and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Phlpp. 2:5-8
26:41Watch, and pray, that ye enter not into temptation. The Spirit indeed is
willing, but the flesh, is weak. 26:42 He went away again, the second time,
and prayed saying, O My Father, if this cup may not pass away from Me
except I drink it, Thy will be done. Matt. 26: 41-42
14:35 And He went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed, that if it
were possible, the hour might pass from Him. 14:36 And He said, Abba,
Father, all things are possible unto Thee; take away this cup from Me.
Nevertheless, not what I will, but what Thou wilt. Mark 14: 35-36
22:41 And He was withdrawn from them, about a stone's cast, and kneeled down
and prayed, 22:42 saying, Father, if Thou be willing, remove this cup from
Me. Nevertheless, not My will, but Thine be done. Luke 22:41-42
5:7...(Jesus).. Who, in the days of His flesh, when He had offered up prayers
and supplications, with strong crying and tears unto Him that was able to
save Him from death, and was heard, in that He feared; 5:8 though He
were a Son, yet learned He obedience by the things which He suffered;
5:9 And being made perfect, He became the author of eternal salvation unto
all them that obey Him. 5:10 Called of God an High Priest, after The
Order Of Melchisedec; 5:11 of Whom, we have many things to say, and hard
to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing. Hebrews 5: 7-11
2:21 For even hereunto were ye called. Because Christ also suffered for us,
leaving us an example, that ye should follow His steps. 2:22 Who did no sin,
neither was guile found in His mouth.2:23 Who, when He was reviled, reviled
not again; when He suffered, He threatened not; but committed Himself to
Him that judgeth righteously. 2:24 Who His own self, bare our sins in His own
body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness.
By Whose stripes ye were healed. 2:25 For ye were as sheep going astray; but
are now returned unto The Shepherd, and Bishop, of your souls. 1Pt. 2:21-25
2:36 Therefore, let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath
made the same Jesus, Whom ye have crucified, BOTH; LORD and CHRIST.*
(*Christ means Savior) Acts 2: 36
Jesus Is God And Savior
(11)
Q11. Did His followers know Jesus is God's Holy Child, as well as God Himself?
20:27 Then saith He to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold, My hands;
and reach hither thy hand, and thrust into My side, and be not faithless, but
believing.20:28 And Thomas answered and said unto Him, my Lord and my God
20:29Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen Me, thou hast
believed. Blessed are they that have not seen and yet, have believed.
John 20:27-29
2:36Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made the
same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, BOTH; LORD and CHRIST. Acts 2:36
4:27 For of a truth, against Thy Holy Child Jesus, whom Thou hast anointed,
both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel,
were gathered together 4:28 for to do whatsoever Thy Hand and Thy
Counsel determined before to be done. 4:29 And now, Lord, behold their
threatenings; and grant unto Thy servants, that with all boldness, they may
speak Thy Word, 4:30 by stretching forth Thine Hand to heal; and that signs
and wonders may be done by The Name Of Thy Holy Child Jesus. Acts 4:24-30
1:15 But as He which hath called you Is Holy, so be ye Holy, in all manner of
conversation; 1:16 because it is written, Be ye Holy; For I Am Holy.
1st. Peter 1:15-16
Q12. Did the Apostles and Disciples do what
Jesus commanded them to do?
15:10 If ye keep My Commandments, ye shall abide in My love; even as I have
kept My Father's Commandments, and abide in His love. John 15:10
2:3 And hereby we do know that we know Him,
if we keep His commandments. 1st.John 2: 3
20:21 ... Peace to you. As My Father hath sent Me, even so, send I you.
20:22 And when He had said this, He breathed on them,
and saith unto them, Receive ye The Holy Ghost. John 20:21-22
2:38 Then Peter said unto them, repent, and be baptized, every one of you,
in The Name Of Jesus Christ, for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive
the gift of The Holy Ghost. 2:39 For the promise is unto you, and to your
children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as
The LORD OUR GOD shall call. Acts 2: 38-39
11:13 ... how much more shall your Heavenly Father give The Holy Spirit,
to them that ask Him? Luke 11:13
Here Jesus tells His followers to carry on what He was sent to do, and gives
The Holy Spirit to enable His Work to be done. Peter is indeed being an obedient Child,
preaching the same thing Jesus preached, just as Jesus told them, and us, to do.
Jesus knows, as His Disciples knew, when a person receives The Holy
Spirit, that person knows God, and Jesus, and becomes His Child. Are we keeping
His Command by preaching and teaching what Jesus Commands,
as His Disciples did, in Acts 2: 38-39?
Please See: Matt 20:18-20; Mark16:15-18; Luke 24:46-49
17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might know Thee; The Only True God,
and Jesus Christ, whom Thou hast sent. John 17:3
(12)
Q 13. Where is Jesus and what is He doing for His Children?
8:34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea, rather, that is
risen again, Who is even at the right hand of God, Who also
maketh intercession for us. Romans 8:34
2:8 And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled himself, and became
obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.2:9 Wherefore God also hath
highly exalted Him, and given Him a name, which is above every name.2:10 That
at the name of Jesus, every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things
in earth, and things under the earth; 2:11 and that every tongue should
confess, that Jesus Christ Is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Phlpp. 2:8-11
5:5 So also Christ glorified not Himself to be made an High Priest;
but He that said unto Him, Thou art My Son, today have I begotten Thee.
5:6 As he saith also in another place, Thou art a Priest for ever,
after The Order Of Melchisedec. Hebrews 5: 5-6
7:17 For He testifieth, Thou art a Priest for ever, after The Order Of Melchisedec.
7:18 For there is, verily, a disannulling of the commandment going before, for
the weakness, and un-profitableness, thereof. 7:19 For the law made nothing
perfect, but the bringing in of a Better Hope did; by the which, we draw nigh
unto God. 7:20 And inasmuch as not without an oath, He was made Priest.
7:21 (For those priests were made without an oath; but this, with an oath, by
Him that said unto Him, The Lord sware, and will not repent, Thou art a Priest
forever, after The Order Of Melchisedec.) 7:22 By so much, was Jesus made
a surety of a Better Testament. 7:23 And they truly were many priests,
because they were not suffered to continue, by reason of death.7:24 But This
Man, because He continueth ever, hath an unchangeable Priesthood.
7:25 Wherefore, He is able also, to save them to the uttermost that come unto
God by Him, seeing He ever liveth, to make intercession for them. 7:26 For such
an High Priest became us, Who Is Holy, Harmless, Undefiled, separate from
sinners, and made Higher than the heavens; 7:27 Who needeth not daily, as
those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for His own sins, and then for the
people's. For this He did once when He offered up Himself. 7:28 For the law
maketh men high priests which have infirmity. But the Word of the oath, which
was since the law, maketh The Son, Who is consecrated for evermore.
Hebrews 7: 17-28
2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any
man sin, we have An Advocate with The Father, Jesus Christ, The Righteous.
1st.John 2:1
7:33Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with you,
and then I go unto Him that sent Me. John 7:33
15:26 But when The Comforter is come, Whom I will send unto you from
The Father, even The Spirit Of Truth, which proceedeth from The Father,
He shall testify of Me. 15:27 And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have
been with Me, from the beginning. John 15:26-27
(13)
Q 14. What will become of God's Children? We look first to God's Son, Jesus
Jesus has overcome death by His Bodily Resurrection, and Jesus Is become The
First Born of many brethren. Soon, His Day Of Judgment, and the destruction
of death is coming. The last enemy, death, will be destroyed entirely, by Him,
and through Him. His mission will be totally accomplished following The White
Throne Judgment, after which time, Jesus becomes subject to The Father,
that God may Be All in All.
22:37 For I say unto you, that this that is written, must yet be accomplished
in Me; And he was reckoned among the transgressors. For the things
concerning Me, have an end. Luke 22:37
15:20 But now, is Christ Risen from the dead, and become The First Fruits of
them that slept. 15:21 For since by man came death, by Man came also
The Resurrection of the dead. 15:22 For as in Adam, all die, even so,
in Christ, shall all be made alive. 15:23 But every man in his own order.
Christ, The First Fruits; afterward, they that are Christ's, at His Coming.
15:24 Then cometh the end, when He shall have delivered up The Kingdom to
God, even The Father; when He shall have put down all rule, and all
authority, and power. 15:25 For He must reign, till He hath put all enemies
under His feet.15:26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed, is death.
15:27 For He hath put all things under His feet. But when He saith all things are
put under Him, it is manifest, that He is excepted, which did put all things
under Him. 15:28 And when all things shall be subdued unto Him, then shall
the Son also, Himself, be subject unto Him, that put all things under Him,
that God may Be All In All. 1st.Cor 15:20-28
8:29 For whom He did foreknow, He also did predestinate, to be conformed to
the image of His Son, that He might be The Firstborn among many brethren.
8:30 Moreover, whom He did predestinate, them He also called. And whom He
called, them He also justified. And whom He justified, them He also glorified.
Romans 8:29-30
2:11 For both He that sanctifieth, and they who are sanctified, are all Of One.
For which cause He is not ashamed to call them Brethren. Hebrews 2: 11
3:9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds,
3:10 and have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge, after the
image of Him that created him. 3:11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew,
circumcision nor un-circumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free.
But Christ Is All, and In All. Colossians 3:9-11
14:1 Let not your heart be troubled. Ye believe in God, believe also in Me.
14:2 In My Father's house are many mansions. If it were not so, I would have
told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 14:3 And if I go and prepare a place
for you, I will come again, and receive you unto Myself; that where I am,
there, ye may be also. John 14:1-3; 17:24
(14)
Revelation (The Entire Book Of Revelation Is At The End Of This Article) Ch. 19
19:1 And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven,
saying, Alleluia; salvation, and glory, and honor, and power, unto The Lord
our God. 19:2 For true and righteous are his judgments. For he hath judged
the great whore which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath
avenged the blood of his servants at her hand. 19:3 And again they said
Alleluia; and her smoke rose up for ever and ever. 19:4 And the four and
twenty elders, and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat
on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia.
19:5 And a voice came out of the throne saying, praise our God, all ye His
servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great.
19:6 And I heard, as it were, the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice
of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia.
For the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.
19:7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honor to him. For the marriage of the
Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
19:8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and
white. For the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
19:9 And he saith unto me, write, Blessed are they which are called unto the
marriage supper of the Lamb.
And he saith unto me, these are the true sayings of God.
19:10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, see thou do it
not. I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony
of Jesus. Worship God. For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
19:11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and He that sat upon
him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He doth judge and
make war
19:12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns;
and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
19:13 And he was clothed with a vesture, dipped in blood.
And His name is called The Word of God.
19:14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses,
clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
19:15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it He should smite the
nations. And he shall rule them with a rod of iron. And he treadeth the
winepress of the fierceness, and wrath, of Almighty God.
19:16 And he hath on his vesture, and on his thigh, a name written,
KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
19:17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice
saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, come and gather
yourselves together, unto the supper of the great God;
19:18 that ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh
of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them,
and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.
(15)
19:19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth and their armies, gathered
together to make war against Him that sat on the horse, and against His army
19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles
before him, with which he deceived them, that had received the mark of the
beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a
lake of fire, burning with brimstone.
19:21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of Him that sat upon the
horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth. And all the fowls
were filled with their flesh.
Revelation Ch. 20
20:1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the
bottomless pit, and a great chain in his hand.
20:2 And he laid hold on the dragon that old serpent, which is the Devil, and
Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
20:3 and cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him,
that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should
be fulfilled. And after that, he must be loosed, a little season.
20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given
unto them. And I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the
witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the
beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads,
or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
20:5 But the rest of the dead lived not again, until the thousand years
were finished. This is the first resurrection.
20:6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection.
On such, the second death hath no power, but they shall be
priests of God, and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
20:7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out
of his prison,
20:8 and shall go out to deceive the nations, which are in the four quarters of the
earth, Gog, and Magog, to gather them together to battle.
The number of whom, is as the sand of the sea.
20:9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the
saints about, and the beloved city.
And fire came down from God, out of heaven, and devoured them.
20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone,
where the beast, and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and
night, for ever and ever.
(16)
Q 15. What will become of the dead (the rest of the dead),
who died, not in Jesus?
20:11 And I saw a great white throne, and Him that sat on it, from whose face
the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were
opened. And another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the
dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books,
according to their works. 20:13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it
and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them. And they were
judged, every man, according to their works. 20:14 And death and hell, were
cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 20:15 And whosoever was
not found written in the book of life, was cast into the lake of fire.
***(skipped 21:16-27)***
Q 16. What happens after The Thousand Year Reign
and The White Throne Judgment
Revelation Ch. 21
21:1 And I saw a new heaven, and a new earth. For the first heaven, and the
first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
21:2 And I, John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out
of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 21:3 And I heard
a great voice out of heaven saying behold, The Tabernacle Of God
is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and
God Himself shall be with them, and be their God.
21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no
more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more
pain. For the former things are passed away.
21:5 And He that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new.
And He said unto me, Write. For these words are true and faithful.
21:6 And He said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega,
The Beginning and The End. I will give unto him that is athirst, of the
fountain of the water of life freely. 21:7 He that overcometh shall inherit all
things; and I will be his God, and he shall be My Son.21:8 But the fearful and
unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and
sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake, which
burneth with fire and brimstone. Which is the second death. 21:9 And there
came unto me one of the seven angels, which had the seven vials, full of the
seven last plagues, and talked with me saying, come hither, I will shew thee
the bride, the Lamb's wife.
(17)
Revelation Ch. 21
21:10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and
shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven
from God,
21:11 having the glory of God. And her light was like unto a stone most precious,
even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;
21:12 and had a wall, great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates,
twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the
twelve tribes of the children of Israel.
21:13 On the east, three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three
gates; and on the west three gates.
21:14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names
of the twelve apostles of The Lamb.
21:15 And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and
the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.
21:16 And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth.
And he measured the city, with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs.
The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.
21:17 And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits,
according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.
21:18 And the building of the wall of it, was of jasper. And the city was pure gold,
like unto clear glass.
21:19 And the foundations of the wall of the city, were garnished with all
manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second
sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald;
21:20 the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolyte;
the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth a chrysoprasus;
the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.
21:21And the twelve gates were twelve pearls. Every several gate, was of one
pearl. And the street of the city, was pure gold, as it were, transparent glass.
21:22 And I saw no temple therein. For The Lord God Almighty, and The Lamb,
are TheTemple of it.
21:23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon to shine in it.
For the glory of God did lighten it, and The Lamb is the light thereof.
21:24 And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it.
And the kings of the earth, do bring their glory and honour into it.
21:25 And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day. For there shall be no
night there.
21:26 And they shall bring the glory, and honor of the nations into it.
21:27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither
whatsoever worketh abomination or maketh a lie. But they which are
written in The Lamb's Book Of Life.
(18)
Revelation Ch. 22
22:1And he shewed me, a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding
out of the throne of God, and of The Lamb.22:2 In the midst of the street of it
and on either side of the river, was there The Tree Of Life, which bare twelve
manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month. And the leaves of The Tree
were for the healing of the nations. 22:3 And there shall be no more curse. But
The Throne of God and of The Lamb shall be in it; and His servants shall serve
Him. 22:4 And they shall see His face; and His name shall be in their foreheads.
22:5 And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of
the sun; for The Lord God giveth them light. And they shall reign, for ever and
ever. 22:6 And he said unto me, these sayings are faithful and true. And
The Lord God of the holy prophets, sent His angel to shew unto his servants the
things which must shortly be done. 22:7 Behold, I come quickly. Blessed is he
that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book. 22:8 And I John, saw
these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to
worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things.
22:9 Then saith he unto me, see thou do it not. For I am thy fellow servant, and
of thy brethren, the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book.
Worship God. 22:10 And he saith unto me, seal not the sayings of the prophecy
of this book. For the time is at hand. 22:11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust
still. And he which is filthy, let him be filthy still. And he that is righteous, let him
be righteous still. And he that is holy, let him be holy still. 22:12 And behold, I
come quickly; and My reward is with Me, to give every man according as his
work shall be. 22:13 I am Alpha and Omega, The Beginning and The End, The
First, and The Last. 22:14 Blessed are they that do His Commandments, that
they may have right to The Tree Of Life and may enter in through the gates,
into the city. 22:15 For without are dogs and sorcerers and whoremongers, and
murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. 22:16 I, Jesus
have sent Mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I Am The
Root, and The Offspring Of David, and The Bright, and Morning Star. 22:17 And
The Spirit, and the bride say Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let
him that is athirst, Come. And whosoever will, let him take the Water Of Life
freely. 2:18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the proph-
ecy of this book, if any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him
the plagues that are written in this book. 22:19 And if any man shall take away
from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out
of The Book Of Life, and out of The Holy City, and from the things which are
written in this book. 22:20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely, I come
quickly. Amen. Even so, Come, Lord Jesus. 22:21 The grace of our Lord, Jesus
Christ, be with you all. Amen.

The purpose of this and the other articles, is to point out the same message that
appears over and over in God's Word, and to bring that message together
in one place, our heart, in recognition of The Lord's prayer in John 17
That we may all be One, as The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, Are One. 1John5:7
17:18 As Thou hast sent Me into the world, even so have I also sent them into
the world. 17:19 And for their sakes, I sanctify Myself, that they also might
be sanctified through The Truth. 17:20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for
them also which shall believe on Me through their word; 17:21 that they all
may be One; as Thou Father, art in Me, and I in Thee, that they also may be
One, in Us; that the world may believe that Thou hast sent Me.
17:22 And the glory which Thou gavest Me, I have given them;
that they may be One, even as We Are One.
17:23 I in them and Thou in Me, that they may be made
perfect In One; and that the world may know that Thou hast sent Me, and
hast loved them, as Thou hast loved Me. 17:24 Father, I will that they also,
whom Thou hast given Me, be with Me where I Am; that they may behold My
Glory which Thou hast given Me. For Thou lovedst Me before the foundation
of the world. 17:25 O Righteous Father, the world hath not known Thee. But I
have known Thee, and these have known that Thou hast sent Me. 17:26 And I
have declared unto them Thy Name, and will declare it; that The Love
wherewith Thou hast loved Me, may be in them, and I in them. John 17:18-26
15:17These things I command you, that ye love one another. 15:18 If the world
hate you, ye know that it hated Me before it hated you.15:19 If ye were of the
world, the world would love his own. But because ye are not of the world, but
I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
John 15:17-19
These things I have spoken unto you, that In Me, ye might have peace.
In the world ye shall have tribulation. But be of good cheer;
I have overcome the world. John 16:33
But be not ye called Rabbi. For one is your Master, even Christ; and
ALL YE, Are Brethren. Matt.23:8
And this is Life Eternal, that they might know Thee;
The Only True God, and Jesus Christ, whom Thou hast sent. John 17:3
11:25 ... I am The Resurrection, and The Life. He that believeth in Me,
though he were dead, yet shall he live. 11:26 And whosoever liveth and
believeth in Me, shall never die. Believest thou this? John 11: 25-26
If ye
then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children;
how much more shall your Heavenly Father, give The Holy
Spirit,
to them that ask Him?
Luke 11:13
May God Bless you and keep you in The Lord, Jesus Christ, by The Power Of His Holy Spirit.

The Entire Revelation Of Jesus According To John.
The Entire Book Of The Revelation Of Jesus, According To John
Ch. 1 Rev.
1:1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ,
which God gave unto him, to shew
unto his servants things which must
shortly come to pass;
and he sent and signified it by his angel,
unto his servant John.
1:2 Who bare record of the word of God,
and of the testimony of Jesus
Christ, and of all things that he saw.
1:3 Blessed is he that readeth,
and they that hear the words of
this prophecy,
and keep those things which are
written therein.
For the time is at hand.
1:4 John, to the seven churches which are in Asia.
Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is,
and which was, and which is to come; and
from the seven Spirits which are before his throne;
1:5 And from Jesus Christ,
who is the faithful witness, and the first
begotten of the dead,
and the prince of the kings of the earth.
Unto him that loved us,
and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
1:6 and hath made us kings and
priests unto God and his Father;
to him be glory and dominion for
ever and ever. Amen.
1:7 Behold, he cometh with clouds;
and every eye shall see him, and
they also which pierced him:
And all kindreds of the earth shall wail
because of him. Even so, Amen.
1:8 I am Alpha and Omega,
the beginning, and the ending,
saith the Lord,
which is, and which was,
and which is to come, the Almighty.
1:9 I John, who also am your brother,
and companion in tribulation,
and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ,
was in the isle that is called Patmos,
for the word of God,
and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.
1:10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day,
and heard behind me a great
voice, as of a trumpet,
1:11 saying,
I am Alpha and Omega,
the first and the last.
and, what thou seest, write in a book,
and send it unto the
seven churches which are in Asia;
unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna,
and unto Pergamos,
and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis,
and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.
1:12 And I turned to see the
voice that spake with me.
And being turned,
I saw seven golden candlesticks;
1:13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks,
one like unto the Son of man,
clothed with a garment down to the foot,
and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.
1:14 His head and his hairs were white like wool,
as white as snow;
and his eyes were as a flame of fire;
1:15 And his feet like unto fine brass,
as if they burned in a furnace;
and his voice as the sound of many waters.
1:16 And he had in his right hand seven stars.
And out of his mouth went a sharp
two edged sword.
And his countenance was as the
sun shineth in his strength.
1:17 And when I saw him,
I fell at his feet as dead.
And he laid his right hand upon me,
saying unto me,
Fear not; I am the first and the last.
1:18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold,
I am alive for evermore, Amen;
and have the keys of hell, and of death.
1:19 Write the things which thou hast seen,
and the things which are,
and the things which shall be hereafter;
1:20 The mystery of the seven stars,
which thou sawest in my right hand,
and the seven golden candlesticks.
The seven stars are the angels of the
seven churches.
And the seven candlesticks which thou sawest,
are the seven churches.
(1:13 ((*paps*)KJV))
Ch. 2 Rev.
2:1 Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus,
write these things saith he that holdeth the
seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the
midst of the seven golden candlesticks;
2:2 I know thy works,
and thy labor, and thy patience, and
how thou canst not bear them which are evil.
And thou hast tried them which say
they are apostles, and are not,
and hast found them liars.
2:3 And hast borne, and hast patience, and
for my name's sake hast labored,
and hast not fainted.
2:4 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee,
because thou hast left thy first love.
2:5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen,
and repent, and do the first works;
or else I will come unto thee quickly,
and will remove thy candlestick out of his place,
except thou repent.
2:6 But this thou hast,
that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitanes,
which I also hate.
2:7 He that hath an ear,
let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the
churches;
to him that overcometh will I give to
eat of the tree of life,
which is in the midst of the paradise of God.
2:8 And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna
write these things saith the first and the last, which
was dead, and is alive;
2:9 I know thy works, and tribulation,
and poverty, (but thou art rich)
and I know the blasphemy of them which
say they are Jews,
and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
2:10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer:
Behold,
the devil shall cast some of you into prison
that ye may be tried;
and ye shall have tribulation ten days:
be thou faithful unto death,
and I will give thee a crown of life.
2:11 He that hath an ear,
let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the
churches.
He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the
second death.
2:12 And to the angel of the church in Pergamos
write these things
saith he which hath the sharp sword with
two edges;
2:13 I know thy works, and where thou dwellest,
even where Satan's seat is.
And thou holdest fast my name,
and hast not denied my faith,
even in those days wherein
Antipas was my faithful martyr,
who was slain among you,
where Satan dwelleth.
2:14 But I have a few things against thee,
because thou hast there
them that hold the doctrine of Balaam,
who taught Balac to cast a stumbling block,
before the children of Israel,
to eat things sacrificed unto idols,
and to commit fornication.
2:15 So hast thou also them that hold the
doctrine of the Nicolaitanes,
which thing I hate.
2:16 Repent; or else I will come unto thee
quickly, and will fight against them with the sword
of my mouth.
2:17 He that hath an ear,
let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the
churches;
to him that overcometh will I give to eat of
the hidden manna,
and will give him a white stone,
and in the stone a new name written,
which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.
2:18 And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira
write these things saith the Son of God,
who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his
feet are like fine brass;
2:19 I know thy works, and *(charity)* love,
and service, and faith,
and thy patience, and thy works;
and the last to be more than the first.
2:20 Notwithstanding,
I have a few things against thee, because
thou sufferest that woman Jezebel,
which calleth herself a
prophetess, to teach
and to seduce my servants to
commit fornication, and
to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
2:21 And I gave her space to repent of
her fornication;
and she repented not.
2:22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed,
and them that commit adultery with her,
into great tribulation,
except they repent of their deeds.
2:23 And I will kill her children with death;
and all the churches shall know that
I am he, which searcheth the reins and hearts.
And I will give unto every one of you,
according to your works.
2:24 But unto you I say,
and unto the rest in Thyatira,
as many as have not
this doctrine, and which have not known the
depths of Satan, as they speak;
I will put upon you none other burden.
2:25 but
that which ye have already,
hold fast till I come.
2:26 And he that overcometh, and
keepeth my works unto the end, to him
will I give power over the nations.
2:27 And he shall rule them with a rod of iron;
as the vessels of a potter shall they be
broken to shivers.
Even as I received of my Father.
2:28 And I will give him the morning star.
2:29 He that hath an ear,
let him hear what the Spirit saith
unto the churches.
*the correct word in 2:19 is love, agape in the Greek; God-like love,
not charity.*
Ch. 3 Rev.
3:1 And unto the angel of the church in Sardis;
write these things saith he that hath the
seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars;
I know thy works, that thou hast a name,
that thou livest, and art dead.
3:2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which
remain, that are ready to die.
For I have not found thy works perfect before God.
3:3 Remember therefore, how thou hast received
and heard,
and hold fast, and repent.
If therefore, thou shalt not watch,
I will come on thee as a
thief, and thou shalt not know what hour
I will come upon thee.
3:4 Thou hast a few names even in Sardis
which have not
defiled their garments;
and they shall walk with me in white;
for they are worthy.
3:5 He that overcometh, the same shall be
clothed in white raiment;
and I will not blot out his name out of the
book of life, but I will confess
his name before my Father,
and before his angels.
3:6 He that hath an ear,
let him hear what the Spirit saith unto
the churches.
3:7 And unto the angel of the
church in Philadelphia,
write these things,
saith he that is holy, he that is true,
he that hath the key of David,
he that openeth, and no man
shutteth; and shutteth,
and no man openeth;
3:8 I know thy works:
Behold, I have set before thee an open door, and
no man can shut it.
For thou hast a little strength, and hast
kept my word, and hast not denied my name.
3:9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan,
which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie;
behold, I will make them to come and
worship before thy feet,
and to know that I have loved thee
3:10 because
thou hast kept the word of my patience,
I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation,
which shall come upon all the world, to
try them that dwell upon the earth.
3:11 Behold, I come quickly.
Hold that fast which thou hast,
that no man take thy crown.
3:12 Him that overcometh, will I make a pillar in the
temple of my God,
and he shall go no more out.
And I will write upon him the name of
my God, and the name of the city of my God,
which is new Jerusalem,
which cometh down out of heaven
from my God.
And I will write upon him my new name.
3:13 He that hath an ear,
let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the
churches.
3:14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans,
write these things saith the Amen,
the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the
creation of God;
3:15 I know thy works,
that thou art neither cold nor hot:
I would thou wert cold or hot.
3:16 So then, because thou art lukewarm, and neither
cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
3:17 Because thou sayest,
I am rich, and increased with goods,
and have need of nothing;
and knowest not that thou art wretched,
and miserable,
and poor, and blind, and naked.
3:18 I counsel thee, to buy of me,
gold tried in the fire, that
thou mayest be rich; and white raiment,
that thou mayest be clothed,
and that the shame of thy
nakedness does not appear;
and anoint thine eyes with
eye salve, that thou mayest see.
3:19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten.
Be zealous therefore, and repent.
3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock.
If any man hear my voice, and open the door,
I will come in to him, and will sup with him,
and he with me.
3:21 To him that overcometh, will I grant to
sit with me in my throne,
even as I also overcame,
and am set down with my Father in
his throne.
3:22 He that hath an ear,
let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the
churches.
Ch. 4 Rev.
4:1 After this I looked, and behold,
a door was opened in heaven.
And the first voice which I heard was,
as it were of a trumpet
talking with me; which said,
come up hither,
and I will shew thee things which
must be hereafter.
4:2 And immediately I was in the spirit.
And, behold, a throne was set in heaven,
and one sat on the throne.
4:3 And he that sat was to look upon,
like a jasper and a sardine stone.
And there was a rainbow round about the throne,
in sight like unto an emerald.
4:4 And round about the throne were
four and twenty seats.
And upon the seats I saw
four and twenty elders sitting,
clothed in white raiment;
and they had on their heads
crowns of gold.
4:5 And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and
thunderings, and voices.
And there were seven lamps of fire
burning before the throne,
which are the seven Spirits of God.
4:6 And before the throne there was a
sea of glass like unto crystal.
And in the midst of the throne,
and round about the throne, were
four beasts, full of eyes before and behind.
4:7 And the first beast was like a lion,
and the second beast like a calf,
and the third beast had a face as a man,
and the fourth beast, was like a flying eagle.
4:8 And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him;
and they were full of eyes within.
And they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, Holy, Holy,
LORD God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.
4:9 And when those beasts give glory, and honor,
and thanks, to him that sat on the throne,
who liveth for ever and ever,
4:10 the
four and twenty elders fall down before him
that sat on the throne,
and worship him that liveth for ever and ever,
and cast their crowns before the throne,
saying,
4:11 Thou art worthy, O Lord,
to receive glory and honor and power.
For thou hast created all things,
and for thy pleasure they are,
and were created.
Ch. 5 Rev.
5:1 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book
written, within, and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.
5:2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice,
who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?
5:3 And no man in heaven nor in earth, neither under the earth, was
able to open the book, neither to look thereon.
5:4 And I wept much because no man was found worthy to open, and to
read the book, neither to look thereon.
5:5 And one of the elders saith unto me, weep not:
Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda,
the Root of David hath prevailed to open the book, and to
loose the seven seals thereof.
5:6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne, and
of the four beasts,
and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain,
having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the
seven Spirits of God, sent forth into all the earth.
5:7 And he came and took the book out of the right hand of
him that sat upon the throne.
5:8 And when he had taken the book,
the four beasts, and four and twenty elders fell
down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and
golden vials full of odors, which are the prayers of saints.
5:9 And they sung a new song, saying,
Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof:
For thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to
God by thy blood, out of every kindred, and tongue, and
people, and nation;
5:10 and
hast made us unto our God kings and priests:
And we shall reign on the earth.
5:11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round
about the throne, and the beasts and the elders:
And the number of them was ten thousand times ten
thousand, and thousands of thousands;
5:12 saying with a loud voice,
worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive
power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and
glory, and blessing.
5:13 And every creature which is in heaven,
and on the earth, and under the earth,
and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them,
heard I saying,
blessing, and honor, and glory, and power, be unto him that
sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb, for ever and ever.
5:14 And the four beasts said, Amen.
And the four and twenty elders fell down, and
worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever.
Ch. 6 Rev.
6:1 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals,
and I heard, as it were, the noise of thunder,
one of the four beasts saying, come and see.
6:2 And I saw, and behold a white horse:
And he that sat on him had a bow;
and a crown was given unto him:
And he went forth conquering, and to conquer.
6:3 And when he had opened the second seal,
I heard the second beast say, come and see.
6:4 And there went out another horse that was red:
And power was given to him that sat thereon, to take
peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another:
And there was given unto him a great sword.
6:5 And when he had opened the third seal,
I heard the third beast say, come and see.
And I beheld, and lo, a black horse;
and he that sat on him, had a pair of balances in his hand.
6:6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say,
a measure of wheat for a penny,
and three measures of barley for a penny;
and see thou hurt not, the oil and the wine.
6:7 And when he had opened the fourth seal,
I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, come and see.
6:8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse:
And his name that sat on him was Death, and
*hell* followed with him.
And power was given unto them, over the fourth part of the earth,
to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death,
and with the beasts of the earth.
6:9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the
souls of them that were slain for the word of God,
and for the testimony which they held:
6:10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying,
how long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and
avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
6:11 And white robes were given unto every one of them;
and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a
little season, until their fellow servants also,
and their brethren, that should be killed as they were,
should be fulfilled.
6:12 And I beheld, when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo,
there was a great earthquake;
and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the
moon became as blood;
6:13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth,
even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is
shaken of a mighty wind.
6:14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together;
and every mountain, and island, were moved out of their places.
6:15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men,
and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman,
and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the
rocks of the mountains;
6:16 and
said to the mountains and rocks,
fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the
throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
6:17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and
who shall be able to stand?
6:8 *hades* is the proper translation which could be either
or both, the place of the dead; the grave... or... hell.
Jesus describes hell as a furnace. Matt.13:42 & Matt.13:50
Ch. 7 Rev.
7:1 And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four
corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth,
that the wind should not blow on the earth,
nor on the sea, nor on any tree.
7:2 And I saw another angel, ascending from the east,
having the seal of the living God:
And he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom
it was given to hurt the earth, and the sea,
7:3 saying
hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we
have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
7:4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed:
And there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of
all the tribes of the children of Israel.
7:5 Of the tribe of Juda, were sealed twelve thousand.
Of the tribe of Reuben, were sealed twelve thousand.
Of the tribe of Gad, were sealed twelve thousand.
7:6 Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand.
Of the tribe of Nephthalim, were sealed twelve thousand.
Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand.
7:7 Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed, twelve thousand.
Of the tribe of Levi were sealed, twelve thousand.
Of the tribe of Issachar, were sealed, twelve thousand.
7:8 Of the tribe of Zabulon, were sealed, twelve thousand.
Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed, twelve thousand.
Of the tribe of Benjamin, were sealed, twelve thousand.
7:9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude,
which no man could number, of all nations and kindreds, and
people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the
Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
7:10 and
cried with a loud voice, saying, salvation to our God which
sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.
7:11 And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the
elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their
faces, and worshipped God,
7:12 saying, Amen:
Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving,
and honor, and power, and might, be unto our God, for
ever and ever. Amen.
7:13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me,
what are these, which are arrayed in white robes?
And whence came they?
7:14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest.
And he said to me,
these are they which came out of great tribulation,
and have washed their robes, and made them white in the
blood of the Lamb.
7:15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and
serve him day and night in his temple:
And he that sitteth on the throne, shall dwell among them.
7:16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more;
neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.
7:17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne,
shall feed them,
and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters:
And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.
Ch. 8 Rev.
8:1 And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in
heaven, about the space of half an hour.
8:2 And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to
them were given seven trumpets.
8:3 And another angel came and stood at the altar,
having a golden censer;
and there was given unto him much incense,
that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the
golden altar, which was before the throne.
8:4 And the smoke of the incense,
which came with the prayers of the saints,
ascended up before God, out of the angel's hand.
8:5 And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the
altar, and cast it into the earth:
And there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and
an earthquake.
8:6 And the seven angels, which had the seven trumpets,
prepared themselves to sound.
8:7 The first angel sounded, and there followed hail, and
fire, mingled with blood,
and they were cast upon the earth:
And the third part of trees was burnt up, and
all green grass was burnt up.
8:8 And the second angel sounded, and as it were, a
great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea:
And the third part of the sea became blood;
8:9 And the third part of the creatures which were
in the sea, and had life, died; and the
third part of the ships were destroyed.
8:10 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from
heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the
third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;
8:11 and the name of the star is called Wormwood:
And the third part of the waters became wormwood;
and many men died of the waters, because they
were made bitter.
8:12 And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the
sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the
third part of the stars;
so as the third part of them was darkened, and the
day shone not for a third part of it, and the night, likewise.
8:13 And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of
heaven, saying with a loud voice,
woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth, by reason of the
other voices of the trumpet, of the three angels,
which are yet to sound!
Ch. 9 Rev.
9:1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall
from heaven unto the earth:
And to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.
9:2 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a
smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace;
and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the
smoke of the pit.
9:3 And there came out of the smoke,
locusts upon the earth:
And unto them, was given power, as the
scorpions of the earth have power.
9:4 And it was commanded them, that they should not hurt the
grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree;
but only those men which have not the seal of God in their
foreheads.
9:5 And to them it was given that they should not kill them,
but that they should be tormented five months:
And their torment was as the torment of a scorpion,
when he striketh a man.
9:6 And in those days, shall men seek death, and
shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and
death shall flee from them.
9:7 And the shapes of the locusts were like unto
horses prepared unto battle;
and on their heads were, as it were, crowns like gold,
and their faces were as the faces of men.
9:8 And they had hair as the hair of women,
and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.
9:9 And they had breastplates, as it were, breastplates of iron;
and the sound of their wings was as the sound of
chariots, of many horses running to battle.
9:10 And they had tails like unto scorpions,
and there were stings in their tails:
And their power was to hurt men five months.
9:11 And they had a king over them, which is the
angel of the bottomless pit,
whose name in the Hebrew tongue is, Abaddon,
in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.
9:12 One woe is past; and, behold,
there come two woes more, hereafter.
9:13 And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the
four horns of the golden altar, which is before God,
9:14 saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet,
loose the four angels which are bound in the
great river Euphrates.
9:15 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.
9:16 And the number of the army of the horsemen were
two hundred thousand thousand:
And I heard the number of them.
9:17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and
them that sat on them,
having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone:
And the heads of the horses, were as the heads of lions;
and out of their mouths issued fire, and smoke, and brimstone.
9:18 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.
9:19 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.
9:20 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:
Which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:
9:21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of
their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
Ch. 10 Rev.
10:1 And I saw another mighty angel come down from
heaven, clothed with a cloud:
And a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was,
as it were, the sun, and his feet, as pillars of fire:
10:2 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,
10:3 and cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth:
And when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.
10:4 And when the seven thunders had uttered 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.
10:5 And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea, and
upon the earth, lifted up his hand to heaven,
10:6 and
sware by 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 time, no longer:
10:7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel,
when he shall begin to sound,
the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared
to his servants, the prophets.
10:8 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.
10:9 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.
10:10 And I took the little book out of the
angel's hand, and ate it up;
and it was in my mouth, sweet as honey:
And as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.
10:11 And he said unto me,
thou must prophesy again, before many peoples, and
nations, and tongues, and kings.
Ch. 11 Rev.
11:1 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod:
And the angel stood, saying,
rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and
them that worship therein.
11:2 But 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 tread under foot, forty
and two months.
11:3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and
they shall prophesy, a thousand, two hundred and
threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
11:4 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks,
standing before the God of the earth.
11:5 And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of
their mouth and devoureth their enemies:
And if any man will hurt them, he must in
this manner, be killed.
11:6 These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the
days of their prophecy:
And have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to
smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.
11:7 And when they shall have finished their testimony,
the beast that ascendeth out of the
bottomless pit, shall make war against them, and
shall overcome them, and kill them.
11:8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of
the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom, and Egypt,
where also our Lord was crucified.
11:9 And they of the people and kindreds, and tongues and
nations, shall see their dead bodies three days and
an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be
put in graves.
11:10 And they that dwell upon the earth shall
rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall
send gifts, one to another; because these two
prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.
11:11 And after three days and an half,
the spirit of life from God entered into them, and they
stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them
which saw them.
11:12 And they heard a great voice from
heaven saying unto them, come up hither.
And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud;
and their enemies beheld them.
11:13 And the same hour, was there a great earthquake, and
the tenth part of the city fell, and
in the earthquake, were slain of men, seven thousand:
And the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the
God of heaven.
11:14 The second woe is past; and behold,
the third woe cometh quickly.
11:15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great
voices in heaven, saying,
the kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of
our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign, for
ever and ever.
11:16 And the four and twenty elders,
which sat before God on their seats,
fell upon their faces, and worshipped God
11:17 saying,
we give thee thanks, O LORD, God Almighty,
which art, and wast, and art to come;
because thou hast taken to thee thy great power,
and hast reigned.
11:18 And the nations were angry,
and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead,
that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give
reward unto thy servants, the prophets, and to
the saints, and them that fear thy name,
small and great;
and shouldest destroy them which
destroy the earth.
11:19 And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and
there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament:
And there were lightnings, and voices, and
thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.
Ch. 12 Rev.
12:1 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven;
a woman, clothed with the sun, and the
moon under her feet,
and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
12:2 And she, being with child, cried, travailing in birth, and
pained, to be delivered.
12:3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven;
and behold, a great red dragon, having
seven heads and ten horns,
and seven crowns upon his heads.
12:4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of
heaven, and did cast them to the earth:
And the dragon stood before the woman which was
ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as
soon as it was born.
12:5 And she brought forth a man child,
who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron:
And her child was caught up unto God,
and to his throne.
12:6 And the woman fled into the wilderness,
where she hath a place prepared of God,
that they should feed her there, a thousand two hundred and
threescore days.
12:7 And there was war in heaven:
Michael, and his angels, fought against the dragon;
and the dragon fought, and his angels,
12:8 and prevailed not;
neither was their place found any more in heaven.
12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old
serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which
deceiveth the whole world:
He was cast out into the earth, and his angels were
cast out with him.
12:10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven,
now is come salvation and strength, and the
kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ:
For the accuser of our brethren is cast down,
which accused them before our God, day and night.
12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb,
and by the word of their testimony;
and they loved not their lives, unto the death.
12:12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that
dwell in them.
Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea!
For the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath,
because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
12:13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the
earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the
man child.
12:14 And to the woman were given two wings of a
great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into
her place, where she is nourished for a time, and
times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
12:15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water, as a
flood, after the woman, that he might cause her to be
carried away of the flood.
12:16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened
her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the
dragon cast out of his mouth.
12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to
make war with the remnant of her seed,
which keep the commandments of God, and have the
testimony of Jesus Christ.
Ch. 13 Rev.
13:1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a
beast rise up out of the sea, having
seven heads, and ten horns, and upon his horns, ten
crowns, and upon his heads, the name of blasphemy.
13:2 And the beast which I saw, was like unto a leopard, and
his feet were as the feet of a bear,
and his mouth, as the mouth of a lion:
And the dragon gave him his power,
and his seat, and great authority.
13:3 And I saw one of his heads, as it were,
wounded to death;
and his deadly wound was healed:
And all the world wondered after the beast.
13:4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave
power unto the beast:
And they worshipped the beast, saying,
who is like unto the beast?
Who is able to make war with him?
13:5 And there was given unto him a mouth,
speaking great things and blasphemies;
and power was given unto him, to continue,
forty and two months.
13:6 And he opened his mouth in
blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and
his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
13:7 And it was given unto him to make war with the
saints, and to overcome them:
And power was given him over all kindreds, and
tongues, and nations.
13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall
worship him, whose names are not written in the
book of life of the Lamb, slain from the foundation
of the world.
13:9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.
13:10 He that leadeth into captivity, shall go into captivity:
He that killeth with the sword, must be killed with
the sword.
Here is the patience, and the faith of the saints.
13:11 And I beheld another beast, coming up out of
the earth; and he had two horns, like a lamb, and he
spake as a dragon.
13:12 And he exerciseth all the power of the
first beast before him, and causeth the earth and
them which dwell therein, to worship the first beast,
whose deadly wound was healed.
13:13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh
fire come down from heaven on the earth, in the
sight of men,
13:14 and deceiveth them that dwell on the earth, by the
means of those miracles which he had power to
do in the sight of the beast;
saying to them that dwell on the earth,
that they should make an image to the beast,
which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
13:15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the
beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and
cause that as many as would not worship the image of the
beast, should be killed.
13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great,
rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a
mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
13:17 And that no man might buy or sell,
save he that had the mark, or
the name of the beast, or
the number of his name.
13:18 Here is wisdom.
Let him that hath understanding, count the number of
the beast:
For it is the number of a man; and his number is
six hundred, threescore, and six.
Ch. 14 Rev.
14:1 And I looked, and lo, a Lamb stood on the
mount Sion, and with him, an hundred forty and four thousand,
having his Father's name written in their foreheads.
14:2 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:
14:3 And they sung, as it were, a new song before the
throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders:
And no man could learn that song, but the hundred and
forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.
14:4 These are they which were not defiled with women;
for they are virgins.
These are they which follow the
Lamb whithersoever he goeth.
These were redeemed from among men,
being the first fruits unto God, and to the Lamb.
14:5 And in their mouth was found no guile:
For they are without fault before the throne of God.
14:6 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,
14:7 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.
14:8 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.
14:9 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,
14:10 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:
14:11 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.
14:12 Here is the patience of the saints:
Here are they that keep the commandments of God,
and the faith of Jesus.
14:13 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 labors; and their works do follow them.
14:14 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.
14:15 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.
14:16 And he that sat on the cloud, thrust in his sickle on the
earth; and the earth was reaped.
14:17 And another angel came out of the temple which is in
heaven, he, also having a sharp sickle.
14:18 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.
14:19 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.
14:20 And the winepress was trodden without the city, and
blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles,
by the space of a thousand, and six hundred furlongs.
Ch. 15 Rev.
15:1 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 God.
15:2 And I saw as it were, a sea of glass 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.
15:3 And they sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the
song of the Lamb, saying,
great, and marvelous are thy works, Lord God Almighty;
just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.
15:4 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.
15:5 And after that I looked, and, behold, the temple of the
tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened:
15:6 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.
15:7 And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven
angels, seven golden vials, full of the wrath of God,
who liveth, for ever and ever.
15:8 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.
Ch. 16 Rev.
16:1 And I heard a great voice out of the temple
saying to the seven angels,
go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God
upon the earth.
16:2 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.
16:3 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.
16:4 And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and
fountains of waters; and they became blood.
16:5 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.
16:6 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets,
and thou hast given them blood to drink;
for they are worthy.
16:7 And I heard another out of the altar say,
even so, Lord God Almighty,
true and righteous are thy judgments.
16:8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun;
and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.
16:9 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.
16:10 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,
16:11 and
blasphemed the God of heaven, because of their
pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.
16:12 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.
16:13 And I saw three unclean spirits, like frogs,
come out of the mouth of the dragon,
and out of the mouth of the beast,
and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
16:14 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.
16:15 Behold, I come as a thief.
Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments,
lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
16:16 And he gathered them together, into a place called in the
Hebrew tongue, Armageddon.
16:17 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.
16:18 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.
16:19 And the great city 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.
16:20 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.
16:21 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.
Ch. 17 Rev.
17:1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the
seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me,
come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the
great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
17:2 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.
17:3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness:
And I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet colored beast,
full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
17:4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet 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:
17:5 And upon her forehead was a name written,
MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT,
THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND
ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
17:6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints,
and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus:
And when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
17:7 And the angel said unto me, wherefore didst thou marvel?
I will tell thee the mystery of the woman,
and of the beast that carrieth her which hath
the seven heads and ten horns.
17:8 The beast that thou sawest 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 that was, and is not, and yet is.
17:9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom.
The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
17:10 And there are seven kings:
Five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come;
and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
17:11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth,
and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
17:12 And the ten horns which thou sawest, are ten kings,
which have received no kingdom as yet;
but receive power as kings, one hour with the beast.
17:13 These have one mind,
and shall give their power and strength unto
the beast.
17:14 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.
17:15 And he saith unto me,
the waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth,
are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
17:16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast,
these shall hate the whore, and shall
make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and
burn her with fire.
17:17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfill his will,
and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast,
until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
17:18 And the woman which thou sawest, is that great city,
which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
Ch. 18 Rev.
18:1 And after these things, I saw another angel come down
from heaven, having great power; and the earth was
lightened with his glory.
18:2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice saying,
Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the
habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit,
and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
18:3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the
wrath of her fornication,
and the kings of the earth have committed
fornication with her, and the
merchants of the earth, are waxed rich through the
abundance of her delicacies.
18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven saying,
come out of her my people,
that ye be not partakers of her sins,
and that ye receive not of her plagues.
18:5 For her sins have reached unto heaven,
and God hath remembered her iniquities.
18:6 Reward her even as she rewarded you,
and double unto her double, according to her works:
In the cup which she hath filled, fill to her double.
18:7 How much she hath glorified herself,
and lived deliciously,
so much torment and sorrow, give her:
For she saith in her heart, I sit a queen
and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
18:8 Therefore, shall her plagues come in one day,
death, and mourning, and famine;
and she shall be utterly burned with fire:
For strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.
18:9 And the kings of the earth, who have committed
fornication and lived deliciously with her,
shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall
see the smoke of her burning,
18:10 standing afar off, for the fear of her torment, saying,
alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city!
For in one hour is thy judgment come.
18:11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and
mourn over her; for no man buyeth their
merchandise any more:
18:12 The merchandise of gold, and silver, and
precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen,
and purple, and silk, and scarlet,
and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory,
and all manner vessels of most precious wood,
and of brass, and iron, and marble,
18:13 and
cinnamon, and odors, and ointments, and frankincense,
and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat,
and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots,
and slaves, and souls of men.
18:14 And the fruits that thy soul lusted after,
are departed from thee,
and all things which were dainty and
goodly, are departed from thee,
and thou shalt find them no more at all.
18:15 The merchants of these things,
which were made rich by her,
shall stand afar off for the
fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,
18:16 and saying,
alas, alas that great city that was clothed in fine
linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with
gold and precious stones and pearls!
18:17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought.
And every shipmaster, and all the company in
ships and sailors, and as many as
trade by sea, stood afar off,
18:18 and cried, when they saw the smoke of
her burning, saying,
what city is like unto this great city!
18:19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried,
weeping and wailing, saying,
alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich
all that had ships in the sea, by reason of her costliness!
For in one hour, is she made desolate.
18:20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven,
and ye holy apostles and prophets;
for God hath avenged you on her.
18:21 And a mighty angel took up a stone, like a
great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying,
thus, with violence shall that great city Babylon
be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.
18:22 And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and
of pipers, and trumpeters,
shall be heard no more at all in thee;
and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be,
shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of
a millstone shall be heard, no more at all, in thee;
18:23 And the light of a candle shall shine no more
at all in thee;
and the voice of the bridegroom, and of the
bride, shall be heard no more at all, in thee:
For thy merchants were the great men of the earth;
for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
18:24 And in her was found the blood of prophets,
and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.
Ch. 19 Rev.
19:1 And after these things I heard a great voice of
much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia;
salvation, and glory, and honor, and power,
unto the Lord our God:
19:2 For true and righteous are his judgments:
For he hath judged the great whore which did
corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath
avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.
19:3 And again they said, Alleluia;
and her smoke rose up for ever and ever.
19:4 And the four and twenty elders, and the four beasts fell
down, and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying,
Amen; Alleluia.
19:5 And a voice came out of the throne, saying,
praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him,
both small and great.
19:6 And I heard, as it were, the voice of a great multitude,
and as the voice of many waters,
and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia:
For the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.
19:7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and
give honor to him:
For the marriage of the Lamb is come,
and his wife hath made herself ready.
19:8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in
fine linen, clean and white:
For the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
19:9 And he saith unto me, write,
Blessed are they which are called unto
the marriage supper of the Lamb.
And he saith unto me,
these are the true sayings of God.
19:10 And I fell at his feet to worship him.
And he said unto me, see thou do it not:
I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren that
have the testimony of Jesus:
Worship God:
For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
19:11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and
he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True,
and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
19:12 His eyes were as a flame of fire,
and on his head were many crowns;
and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
19:13 And he was clothed with a vesture, dipped in blood:
And his name is called, The Word of God.
19:14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon
white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
19:15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword,
that with it he should smite the nations:
And he shall rule them with a rod of iron:
And he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness,
and wrath of Almighty God.
19:16 And he hath on his vesture, and on his thigh, a
name, written,
KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
19:17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun;
and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the
fowls that fly in the midst of heaven,
come, and gather yourselves together, unto the
supper of the great God;
19:18 that ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the
flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the
flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the
flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.
19:19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies,
gathered together, to make war against him that sat on the
horse, and against his army.
19:20 And the beast was taken,
and with him the false prophet, that wrought miracles before him,
with which he deceived them, that had received the mark of
the beast, and them that worshipped his image.
These both, were cast alive into a
lake of fire burning with brimstone.
19:21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that
sat upon the horse,
which sword proceeded out of his mouth:
And all the fowls were filled with their flesh.
Ch. 20 Rev.
20:1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven,
having the key of the bottomless pit,
and a great chain in his hand.
20:2 And he laid hold on the dragon that old serpent, which is the
Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
20:3 and
cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and
set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no
more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled:
And after that, he must be loosed, a little season.
20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them,
and judgment was given unto them:
And I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the
witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and
which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image,
neither had received his mark upon their foreheads,
or in their hands;
and they lived, and reigned with Christ,
a thousand years.
20:5 But the rest of the dead lived not again,
until the thousand years were finished.
This is the first resurrection.
20:6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part
in the first resurrection:
On such, the second death hath no power,
but they shall be priests of God, and of Christ,
and shall reign with him a thousand years.
20:7 And when the thousand years are expired,
Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
20:8 and shall go out,
to deceive the nations, which are in the
four quarters of the earth, Gog, and Magog,
to gather them together to battle:
The number of whom, is as the sand of the sea.
20:9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth,
and compassed the camp of the saints about,
and the beloved city:
And fire came down, from God, out of heaven,
and devoured them.
20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the
lake of fire and brimstone, where the
beast, and the false prophet are, and shall be
tormented day and night, for ever and ever.
20:11 And I saw a great white throne,
and him that sat on it, from whose
face the earth and the heaven fled away;
And there was found no place for them.
20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before
God; and the books were opened:
And another book was opened, which is the book of life:
And the dead were judged out of those things which were
written in the books, according to their works.
20:13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it;
and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them:
And they were judged, every man, according to their works.
20:14 And death and hell, were cast, into the lake of fire.
This is the second death.
20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the
book of life, was cast, into the lake of fire.
Ch. 21 Rev.
21:1 And I saw a new heaven, and a new earth:
For the first heaven, and the first earth,
were passed away;
and there was no more sea.
21:2 And I, John saw the holy city,
new Jerusalem, coming
down from God out of heaven,
prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
21:3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying,
behold, the tabernacle of God is with men,
and he will dwell with them,
and they shall be his people,
and God himself shall be with them,
and be their God.
21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their
eyes; and there shall be no more death,
neither sorrow, nor crying,
neither shall there be any more pain.
For the former things are passed away.
21:5 And he that sat upon the throne said,
Behold, I make all things new.
And he said unto me,
Write. For these words are true and faithful.
21:6 And he said unto me, it is done.
I am Alpha and Omega, the
beginning and the end.
I will give unto him that is athirst, of the
fountain of the water of life freely.
21:7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things;
and I will be his God,
and he shall be my son.
21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the
abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and
sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have
their part in the lake, which burneth with fire and
brimstone. Which is the second death.
21:9 And there came unto me one of the seven angels,
which had the seven vials,
full of the seven last plagues, and
talked with me, saying,
come hither, I will shew thee the bride,
the Lamb's wife.
21:10 And he carried me away in the spirit
to a great and high mountain,
and shewed me that great city,
the holy Jerusalem,
descending out of heaven from God,
21:11 having the glory of God.
And her light was like unto a stone most precious,
even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;
21:12 and had a wall, great and high,
and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels,
and names written thereon, which are the names of the
twelve tribes of the children of Israel.
21:13 On the east, three gates; on the north three gates;
on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.
21:14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations,
and in them, the names of the twelve apostles of
the Lamb.
21:15 And he that talked with me had a
golden reed to measure the city, and the
gates thereof, and the wall thereof.
21:16 And the city lieth foursquare, and the
length is as large as the breadth.
And he measured the city, with the reed,
twelve thousand furlongs.
The length and the breadth and the
height of it are equal.
21:17 And he measured the wall thereof,
an hundred and forty and four cubits,
according to the measure of a man,
that is, of the angel.
21:18 And the building of the wall of it, was of jasper.
And the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.
21:19 And the foundations of the wall of the city, were
garnished with all manner of precious stones.
The first foundation was jasper;
the second, sapphire;
the third, a chalcedony;
the fourth, an emerald;
21:20 the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius;
the seventh, chrysolyte; the eighth, beryl;
the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus;
the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.
21:21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls.
Every several gate, was of one pearl.
And the street of the city, was pure gold,
as it were,
transparent glass.
21:22 And I saw no temple therein:
for the Lord God Almighty,
and the Lamb, are the temple of it.
21:23 And the city had no need of the sun,
neither of the moon to shine in it.
For the glory of God did lighten it, and the
Lamb is the light thereof.
21:24 And the nations of them which are saved
shall walk in the light of it.
And the kings of the earth,
do bring their glory and honour into it.
21:25 And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day.
For there shall be no night there.
21:26 And they shall bring the glory, and
honor of the nations into it.
21:27 And there shall in no wise enter into it
any thing that defileth,
neither whatsoever worketh abomination,
or maketh a lie.
But they which are written, in the
Lamb's book of life.
Ch. 22 Rev.
22:1 And he shewed me a pure river of water
of life,
clear as crystal, proceeding out of the
throne of God, and of the Lamb.
22:2 In the midst of the street of it,
and on either side of the river,
was there the tree of life,
which bare twelve manner of fruits,
and yielded her fruit every month.
And the leaves of the tree,
were for the healing of the nations.
22:3 And there shall be no more curse:
But the throne of God and of the Lamb
shall be in it;
and his servants shall serve him.
22:4 And they shall see his face;
and his name shall be in their foreheads.
22:5 And there shall be no night there;
and they need no candle,
neither light of the sun;
for the Lord God giveth them light.
And they shall reign, for ever and ever.
22:6 And he said unto me,
these sayings are faithful and true.
And the Lord God of the holy prophets,
sent his angel to shew unto his servants,
the things which must shortly be done.
22:7 Behold, I come quickly.
Blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of
the prophecy of this book.
22:8 And I John, saw these things, and heard them.
And when I had heard and seen,
I fell down to worship,
before the feet of the angel which shewed
me these things.
22:9 Then saith he unto me, see thou do it not.
For I am thy fellow servant, and of thy
brethren the prophets, and of them which
keep the sayings of this book.
Worship God.
22:10 And he saith unto me,
seal not the sayings of the prophecy of
this book:
For the time is at hand.
22:11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still.
and
he which is filthy, let him be filthy still.
and
he that is righteous, let him be righteous still.
and
he that is holy, let him be holy still.
22:12 And behold, I come quickly; and my reward is
with me, to give every man, according as his work
shall be.
22:13 I am Alpha, and Omega,
the beginning, and the end,
the first, and the last.
22:14 Blessed are they that do his commandments,
that they may have right to the tree of life, and
may enter in through the gates, into the city.
22:15 For without, are dogs, and sorcerers, and
whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters,
and whosoever loveth, and maketh a lie.
22:16 I, Jesus, have sent mine angel,
to testify unto you these things
in the churches.
I am the root, and the offspring of David,
and the bright, and morning star.
22:17 And the Spirit, and the bride say, come.
And let him that heareth say, come.
And let him that is athirst, come.
And whosoever will,
let him take the water of life freely.
22:18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the
words of the prophecy of this book,
if any man shall add unto these things,
God shall add unto him the plagues
that are written in this book.
22:19 And if any man shall take away from the
words of the book of this prophecy,
God shall take away his part out of the
book of life, and out of the holy city,
and from the things which are written
in this book.
22:20 He which testifieth these things saith,
Surely, I come quickly. Amen.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
22:21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, be with you all.
Amen.
