                                                 Mysteries and Secretes 2
                                               Behold, I show you A Mystery…  1stCor.15:51a

                                         The Mystery Of Bodily Resurrection

 

   This topic seems to be a major cause of division. Division is contrary to all that

                                     The lord Jesus came to earth to show us.  

                                          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.           John 17:20-23

 

      Now I beseech you brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,

  that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you;

but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind, and in the same

                                                   judgment.                               1st Corinthians1:10

            If we are trying to teach each other, there will be divisions among us.

                But be not ye called Rabbi. For ONE IS your Master, even Christ;
                                              and ALL YE, Are Brethren.                                  Matt.23:8


            But the Comforter, which IS the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will
      send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things
       to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
       
John 14:26

16:13                    Howbeit, when He, The Spirit Of Truth*is come,

                                 He will guide you into All Truth 

For He shall not speak of Himself. But whatsoever He shall hear, that shall

                                He speak. And HE will show you things to come           John 16:13   

  

2:26 These things have I written unto you, concerning them that seduce you. 2:27

        But the anointing* which ye have received of him, abideth in you,

       and ye need not that any man teach you. But as the same anointing

   teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it

                       hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.               1stJohn 2:26-27

 

People cannot teach each other the things that can only come from GOD

         2:10 But God hath revealed them unto us, by his Spirit. For the Spirit

searcheth ALL things, yea, The Deep Things Of GOD.2:11 For what man knoweth the  

                      things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him?

   Even so, the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.

                                                                                                                        1stCor.2:10-11

                                                                                                                             

     ... how much more Shall your  Heavenly Father, give The Holy Spirit,

                                                 to them that Ask HIM                      Luke 11:13b

    Please read these verses together. The Bodily Change, The Catching Up, The

First Bodily Resurrection, The Second Bodily Resurrection* and The Second Death,

 are presented to us in pieces, in these verses. It would be difficult to make this

                     explanation any clearer than how it is written in your Bible.

                               This is an overview to the article that follows.

 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 killedas they were, should be fulfilled.       Revelation 6:9-11
 

                    ________skipped to  7:9 to continue the thought begun in 6:9-11________
 

      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.        Revelation 7:9-17

 

                And whence came they*=where did they come from; why are they here

     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.

 

The rest of the dead*Rev.20:5,& Rev.20:13         

                                                                            (2)

 

 

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.     Revelation 19:11-18

 

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 19:19-21

 

                                                   End of Chapter 19

 

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.

                                                         

                                                                     (3)

 

 

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.             Revelation 20:4-15

 

                                                 End of Chapter 20

 

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.

        Now Jesus lays the foundation for understanding The Bodily Resurrection:

 

     12:23 And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that The Son of man

             should be glorified.12:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, except a corn of

                              wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone.

                                        But if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.     

                12:25 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life,

                                      in this world, shall keep it, unto life eternal.    John 12:23-24

 

                         Then Jesus shows us what The Bodily Resurrection Is:

 

24:38 And He said unto them, Why are ye troubled? And why do thoughts arise in

 your hearts? 24:39 Behold, My hands and My feet, that It Is I, Myself. Handle

     Me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see Me have.  

                                                                                                                      Luke 24:38-39

 

                            Paul builds on the foundation Jesus laid concerning

                                          The Mystery Of Bodily Resurrection:

 

                                        15:34 Awake To righteousness*and sin not.

            For some have not The Knowledge Of God. I speak this to your shame.

                    15:35 But some man will say, how are the dead raised up?

                                       And with what body do they come?

15:36Thou fool, that which thou sowest, is not made alive*(quickened*) except it die.

15:37 And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be,

                  but bare grain* It may chance of wheat, or of some other grain.

15:38 But God giveth it a body, as it hath pleased HIM. And to every seed, his own

       body. 15:39 All flesh is not the same flesh. But there is one kind of flesh of men,

                    another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds.

                                                                

15:40 There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial. But the glory of the

 celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial, is another.15:41There is one glory

         of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars,

                                   for one star differeth from another star in glory.

15:42  So also, is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption. It is raised

        in incorruption.15:43 It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in

                weakness; it is raised, in power. 15:44 It is sown a natural body.

                                              It is raised, a spiritual body.

                           There is a natural body, and there is A spiritual body.

 

                                             A spiritual body as Jesus has:

 

               Behold, My hands and My feet, that It Is I, Myself. Handle Me, and see.

                      For a spirit hath not flesh and bones* as ye see Me have   Luke 24:39

 

1:9 And when He had spoken these things, while they beheld, He was taken up; and

      a cloud received Him, out of their sight.1:10 And while they looked steadfastly

  toward heaven, as He  went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;

     1:11 which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven?

 This same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come,

                 in like manner, as ye have seen him go into heaven.   Acts 1:9-11

 

Jesus is returning in the same body He Resurrected, and Ascended into Heaven with

 

                              flesh and bones*=no blood  Jesus shed HIS BLOOD  
                                          righteousness
*=HOLINESS, JESUS, GOD

bare grain*=a seed of grain to be planted;   The Last Adam*=Jesus; The Holy Spirit Of

                                                                                 God, Living In The Body Of Jesus     

                               

                                                                           (5)

 

 

      Now, through Paul, we see more about The Mystery Of Bodily Resurrection:

 

15:45  And so it is written, the first man, Adam, was made A Living Soul. The Last

           Adam*was made A  Living*Spirit. 15:46 Howbeit, that was not first which

      is spiritual, but that which is natural. And afterward, that which Is Spiritual

   15:47 The first man, is of the earth, earthy; The Second Man, is the Lord, From

    Heaven* 15:48  As is the earthy, such are they also, that are earthy. And as is The

    Heavenly, such are they also, that are heavenly.15:49 And as we have borne the

              image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image* Of The Heavenly

                                               

               15:50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit

            the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

     15:51 Behold, I show you A Mystery. We shall not all sleep*but we shall all be

 changed.15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, At The Last Trump. For The

 Trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised, incorruptible. And we shall be

 changed. 15:53 For this corruptible, must put on incorruption, and this mortal must

 put on immortality.15:54 So, when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption,

 and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass, the

                          saying that is written, death is swallowed up in victory.

                     15:55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?

              15:56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin, is the law.

15:57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory, through our Lord, Jesus

Christ.15:58Therefore my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, un-moveable, always

 abounding in The Work Of the Lord Forasmuch as ye know, that your labor is not

                                             in vain, in  the Lord.                       1st Corinthians 15:34-58     

                                                                                                                 

4:13 But I would not have you to be ignorant brethren, concerning them which are

asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 4:14 For if we believe

that Jesus died and rose again, even so, them also which sleep in Jesus, will God bring

with HIM. 4:15 For this we say unto you By The Word Of The Lord, that we which are

alive and remain unto The Coming Of The Lord, shall not prevent*them which are asleep.

         4:16 For The Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shouT,

with the voice of the archangel, and with The Trump Of God*And the dead In Christ*

     shall rise first. 4:17 Then, we which are alive, and remain, shall be caught up,

   together with them, in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air. And so, shall we

   ever be, with the Lord. 4:18 Wherefore, comfort one another with these words.

       Because THE WORD OF GOD IS UNIFIED, it is impossible to address any one

   single topic without addressing how that topic relates to the Whole Of Scripture

    The article that follows, may seem to wander. However, verses relating to, and

          explaining The Bodily Resurrection, are found throughout God’S Word.

   This article is only a poor attempt to show what GOD has in store for those that

                         Love HIM, and are called, according to HIS Purpose

                                           

                                                                        (6)

 

 

             This article will begin in The Book Of The Revelation Of Jesus Christ,

 in an attempt to help make clear the events presented by Jesus in The Gospels,

and in The Epistles. In Revelation, we are told of The First Resurrection, The Second

       Resurrection* The First Death and The Second Death. All the explanations in

     Revelation are necessary for unifying THE LORD’S People, or they would not be

  included in The Bible. Hopefully, by seeing the end from the beginning, the events

 along the way will become clear. Some of the Scriptures found above, are repeated.

                 Nothing in the article will matter, however, if it is not read under

          Guidance OF The holy spirit of god, as with all of God’s Word

 

The rest of the dead*Rev.20:5,& Rev.20:13

 

         ... how much more Shall your  Heavenly Father, give The Holy Spirit,

                                               to them that Ask HIM?                                   Luke 11:13b

 

7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you. seek, and ye shall find. knock, and it

shall be opened unto you.7:8 For every one that asketh, receiveth; and

he that seeketh, findeth; and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened.

                                                                                                                    Matt. 7:7-8; Luke 11:9

                                                                                                                                

       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.                                        Revelation 3:20

 

                    THE HOLY Spirit is The key to understanding all prophesy.

      How Prophecy Is Written, and by whom, is told to us in Revelation 1:17-19

 

  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 Revelation 1:17-19

 

All the events referred to in prophesy have been written in the present

     Yet, some of the events have already happened. Some are happening before our eyes.

           And some have not yet happened. If all prophesy were crystal clear,

we would understand them all. there would be no need for us to have faith

 in Jesus. the prophesies listed here give us Quite a clear picture of the

        mystery of the bodily resurrection, and what Real life, Eternal

                                                      life, really is 

 

And this is life eternal, that they might know thee; the only true God,

                                  and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.         John 17:3

 

    All 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.       Matt.11:27; Lk.10:22

 

          14:8  Philip saith unto Him, Lord, shew us The Father, and it sufficeth us.

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

             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

        the Father hath, are mine. Therefore said I, that He shall take of Mine,

               With all this in mind, we will now read of the events concerning

                                        The Mystery Of Bodily Resurrection 

  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.    Revelation 6:9-11

 

                   _________skipped to  7:9 to continue the thought begun in 6:9-11_________  

 

      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

                                                           

                                                                          (8)

 

 

 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.                       Revelation 7:9-17

 

                And whence came they*=where did they come from; why are they here                                                                                                         

                        Jesus tells us He will return after That Tribulation,

                             which Days HE cut short for His Elect’s sake:

 

24:21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the

  beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. 24:22 And

  except those days  should be shortened, there should  no flesh be

        saved. But for the  elect's sake, those days shall be shortened

                                                                                                                                    Matt.24:21-22

 

13:24 But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and

the moon shall not give her light,13:25 and the stars of heaven shall fall, and The Powers

that are in heaven shall be shaken.13:26 And then shall they see The Son Of Man coming

in the clouds, with Great Power And Glory.13:27 And then shall He send His angels, and

                  shall gather together His elect from the four winds, from the

uttermost part of the earth, to the uttermost part of heaven   Mark13:14-27 

                                                                                                               

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.                        Revelation 7:15-17

 

               Search the scriptures. for in them, ye think ye have eternal

                             life. And they are they, which testify of ME.        John 5:39

 

     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.

 

                                                                 (9)

 

 

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.     Revelation 19:11-18

 

  17:37 And they answered and said unto Him, where, Lord? And he said unto them,

          Where so ever the body is, thither, will the eagles* be gathered together.

      eagles*=buzzards, vultures                                                                    Luke 17:37

 

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 19:19-21

 

                                                   End of Chapter 19

 

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.

 

                                                            (10)

 

 

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.                               Revelation 20:12-15

                      works*=Did they do the work of god? John 6:29; see above  

             Jesus tells us what The Work Of GOD IS, And WHO DOES IT.

           6:28 Then said they unto Him, what shall we do, that we might work

                 The Works Of God? 6:29 Jesus answered, and said unto them,

                                       This Is The Work Of God,

                   that ye believe on him, whom he hath sent.    John 6:28-29

 

    For The Son Of Man shall come in the Glory Of His Father with His

  angels; and then He shall reward every man according to his works.

                                                                                                                       Matt.16:27

 

   …whosoever will come after ME, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and

   follow Me. 8:35 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it. But whosoever shall

     lose his life for MY Sake, and The Gospel's, the same shall save it.  Mark 8:34b-35

 

3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, ye must be born*again.3:8 The wind bloweth

where it *will(listeth)* and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence

it cometh, and whither it goeth. So is every one that is Born Of The Spirit* John3:7-8 

 

            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)*IS LIVING*IN ME, HE doeth The Works*           John 14:10  

                                                               (11)

7:21   Not every one that saith unto Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into The Kingdom
           Of Heaven; but he that doeth The Will Of My Father, which is in heaven.

7:22  Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord,  have we not prophesied in Thy

        Name?  And in Thy Name have cast out devils?  And in Thy Name done many

       wonderful works? 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you.

                                   Depart from ME, ye that work iniquity.                 Matt.7:21-23

 

Born*=to regenerate, renew                 Born Of The Spirit*=to be regenerated, renewed by the

Holy Spirit Of God                                              

 

          It is important for us to know that we must allow The Holy Spirit Of God,

                 Living In us to do The Work, through us, by our belief In Jesus.

                       Jesus tells us: The Work Of GOD IS TO BELIEVE IN JESUS.

            Jesus tells usIt Is THE FATHER LIVING IN HIM That Does The Works

 Jesus tells us: those who do the works themselves, HE Will Tell To Depart From HIM

                                  Jesus tells us: we can do nothing without HIM

 

15:4 Abide in ME, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it

      abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.15:5 I Am The Vine,

             ye are the branches. He that abideth in Me, and I In him, the same

       bringeth forth much fruitFor without me, ye can do nothing. John15:4-5

 

   If The Holy Spirit Of God Is not doing the woks in us and through us as He did

In Jesus and through Jesus, we are not only doing nothing, but Jesus will also tell

                             us we worked iniquity, and to depart from HIM.

          If we will do any thing God’s Way, according to The Will Of The Father,

  we must lose our own life, to allow The Holy Spirit Of God To Live His Life, In us.

             The Works that Jesus did were done this way, and Jesus tells us:

 

            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 8:29

 

Jesus tells us: As My Father hath sent ME, even so, send I you.    John 20:21b

 

                       Jesus tells us What THE WORK  is He was sent to do:

           I have glorified thee on the earth. I have finished the work

                                       which thou gavest me to do.                   John17:4

 

                                Jesus tells us what He sends us to do:
                        
And all mine are thine, and thine are mine.

                                        and I am glorified in them.             John17:10

 

  The Works by which we will be judged are The Works The Holy Spirit Did,

                                      In us and Through us, To Glorify Jesus

 

                                              LIFE IS ALL ABOUT JESUS:

 

            Search the scriptures. for in them, ye think ye have eternal

                           life. And they are they, which testify of ME.       John 5:39

 

We must Believe IN HIM enough to allow HIM TO WORK HIS WILL HIS WAY in

                                                 what we call our life:

 

…whosoever shall lose his life for MY Sake, and The Gospel's, the same, shall save it.

                                                                                                                        Mark 8:35b

                                                              (12)

 

 

                    This can only be done By The Holy Spirit Of God, Alive In us:

 

        the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.1stCor.2:11b 

                                                                                                                                                                       

        ... how much more Shall your  Heavenly Father, give The Holy Spirit,

                                                to them that Ask HIM                             Luke 11:13b 

 

                                                YE  must  be  born  Again                           john 3:7b

                                                                

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.

            ALL that IS GOD, Is Living, In Spirit, within The Body Of Jesus.

      But The Body Of Jesus; is not ALL that GOD IS.  ALL That GOD IS,

           is told to us through Paul’s writing in 1st Corinthians and Colossians:

 

     For in Him Is LIVING* all the fullness of the Godhead, bodily  Col. 2:9

 

  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.15:27 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.15:22-28

                                                                                                          

     ALL*=THE WHOLE, WHATSOEVER; WHOSOEVER, EVERYTHING, everyone.      dwelleth*=IS Living

 

                                                                     (13)

 

 

Paul is led to tell us what effect Renewal In The Knowledge Of Jesus means to us:

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 uncircumcision,

          Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free. But Christ Is All, and In  All*

                                                                                                                             Colossians 3:9-11

 

12:12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and ALL the members of that

           one body, being many, are one body. So also, is  Christ*         1st Cor.12:12

 

   ONLY GOD KNOWS WHAT ALL IS. GOD IS WHAT ALL IS. UNTIL HIS TIME COMES

                           TO REVEAL THIS TO US, WE CAN NOT KNOW ALL.                                                                 

Beloved, now are we The Sons Of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be

But we know, that when HE shall appear,  we shall be like HIM; for we shall see HIM,

                                                            as he is.                                                       1stJohn 3:2

Right now, we cannot See ALL, but we can see our brother: If a man say I love God, and

hateth his brother, he is a liar. For he that loveth not his brother, whom he hath

                  seen, how can he love GOD, whom he hath not seen?                  1stJohn 4:20

 

  GOD IS A SPIRIT John.4:24a   God Is Love  1stJohn.4:16   ALL YE Are Brethren Mat.23:8b            

 

                                    

      ALL. Right now, in this life, all Of God we can know, and all Of God we need to

    know, Is The Holy Spirit Of God, Alive In The Body Jesus. The Holy Spirit Of God

         is sent to us, by Jesus, from God. The Holy Spirit IS GOD’S SPIRIT, Alive

   inside our bodies, when we Accept and Receive Jesus, As Our  Lord And Savior.

       Now that we Know GOD WILL BE ALL IN ALL; AND  JESUS IS ALL AND IN ALL,

           if we are In Jesus, how can we dare do harm to any Part Of The Whole?

 

         *Ye know not what manner OF SPIRIT YE ARE OFFor THE SON OF MAN

                     is not come to destroy men's lives, BUT TO SAVE THEM*        Luke 9:55b

 

And this is life eternal, that they might know thee; the only true God,

                            and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.                   John 17:3

 

  GOD IS A SPIRIT John.4:24a   God Is Love  1stJohn.4:16    ALL YE Are Brethren Mat.23:8b

 

By this shall All Men KNOW that ye are MY disciples, IF ye have love, one to another

                                                                                                                                          John 13:35

 

        Now Jesus lays the foundation for understanding The Bodily Resurrection:

 

     12:23 And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that The Son of man

             should be glorified.12:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, except a corn of

                              wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone.

                                        But if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.     

                12:25 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life,

                                      in this world, shall keep it, unto life eternal.    John 12:23-24

 

                         Then Jesus shows us what The Bodily Resurrection Is:

 

24:38 And He said unto them, Why are ye troubled? And why do thoughts arise in

 your hearts? 24:39 Behold, My hands and My feet, that It Is I, Myself. Handle

     Me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see Me have.

                                                                (14)

 

 

                            Paul builds on the foundation Jesus laid concerning

                                          The Mystery Of Bodily Resurrection:

 

                                        15:34 Awake To righteousness*and sin not.

            For some have not The Knowledge Of God. I speak this to your shame.

                    15:35 But some man will say, how are the dead raised up?

                                       And with what body do they come?

15:36Thou fool, that which thou sowest, is not made alive*(quickened*) except it die.

15:37 And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be,

                  but bare grain* It may chance of wheat, or of some other grain.

15:38 But God giveth it a body, as it hath pleased HIM. And to every seed, his own

       body. 15:39 All flesh is not the same flesh. But there is one kind of flesh of men,

                    another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds.

                                                               

15:40 There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial. But the glory of the

 celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial, is another.15:41There is one glory

         of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars,

                                   for one star differeth from another star in glory.

15:42  So also, is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption. It is raised

        in incorruption.15:43 It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in

                weakness; it is raised, in power. 15:44 It is sown a natural body.

                                              It is raised, a spiritual body.

                           There is a natural body, and there is A spiritual body.

 

3:20 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for The Savior,
      The Lord Jesus Christ;3:21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be

fashioned Like Unto his glorious body, according to the working, whereby
                  He Is Able, even to subdue all things, unto Himself.  Philippians 3:20-21

 

                                     A  Glorious spiritual body; as Jesus has:

 

               Behold, My hands and My feet, that It Is I, Myself. Handle Me, and see.

                      For a spirit hath not flesh and bones* as ye see Me have   Luke 24:39

 

1:9 And when He had spoken these things, while they beheld, He was taken up; and

      a cloud received Him, out of their sight.1:10 And while they looked steadfastly

  toward heaven, as He  went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;

     1:11 which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven?

              This same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven,

      shall so come, in like manner, as ye have seen him go into heaven.

                                                                                                                        Acts 1:9-11

 

Jesus is returning in the same body He Resurrected, and Ascended into Heaven with

 

15:45  And so it is written, the first man, Adam, was made A Living Soul. The Last

           Adam*was made A  Living*Spirit. 15:46 Howbeit, that was not first which

      is spiritual, but that which is natural. And afterward, that which Is Spiritual

   15:47 The first man, is of the earth, earthy; The Second Man, is the Lord, From

    Heaven*. 15:48  As is the earthy, such are they also, that are earthy. And as is The

    Heavenly, such are they also, that are heavenly.15:49 And as we have borne the

                image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image* Of The Heavenly

 

         bare grain*=a seed of grain to be planted         righteousness*=HOLINESS, JESUS, GOD

           Jesus shed HIS BLOOD                   quickening*= Living                      flesh and bones*=no blood

                image*=resemblance   The Last Adam*=Jesus; The Living Holy Spirit Of God In His Body

                                         

                                                                       (15)


 

                                                              

 

        Now, through Paul, we see more about The Mystery Of Bodily Resurrection:

 

               15:50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit

            the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

     15:51 Behold, I show you A Mystery. We shall not all sleep*but we shall all be

 changed.15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, At The Last Trump. For The

 Trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised, incorruptible. And we shall be

 changed. 15:53 For this corruptible, must put on incorruption, and this mortal must

 put on immortality.15:54 So, when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption,

 and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass, the

                          saying that is written, death is swallowed up in victory.

                     15:55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?

              15:56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin, is the law.

15:57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory, through our Lord, Jesus

Christ.15:58Therefore my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, un-moveable, always

 abounding in The Work Of the Lord Forasmuch as ye know, that your labor is not

                                                    in vain, in  the Lord.        1st Corinthians 15:34-58         

                                                                                                                 

4:13 But I would not have you to be ignorant brethren, concerning them which are

asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 4:14 For if we believe

that Jesus died and rose again, even so, them also which sleep in Jesus, will God bring

with HIM. 4:15 For this we say unto you By The Word Of The Lord, that we which are

 alive and remain unto The Coming Of The Lord, shall not prevent*them which are asleep.

4:16                For The Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout,

with the voice of the archangel, and with The Trump Of God*And the dead In Christ*

     shall rise first. 4:17 Then, we which are alive, and remain, shall be caught up,

   together with them, in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air. And so, shall we

   ever be, with the Lord. 4:18 Wherefore, comfort one another with these words.

                                                                                                                  1stThessalonians 4:13-18

 

         So is the resurrection of the dead. The body is born in corruption. It is raised

        in incorruption.15:43 It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in

                weakness; it is raised, in power. 15:44 It is sown a natural body.

                                              It is raised, a spiritual body.

                           There is a natural body, and there is A spiritual body.

 

                                             A spiritual body as Jesus has:

 

               Behold, My hands and My feet, that It Is I, Myself. Handle Me, and see.

                      For a spirit hath not flesh and bones* as ye see Me have   Luke 24:39

 

              This same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven,

      shall so come, in like manner, as ye have seen him go into heaven.

                                                                                                                          Acts 1:11

 

                    …them also which sleep in Jesus, will God bring with HIM* 1stThes4:14

 

     sleep*=physical death                    From Heaven*=THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD BECAME MAN, Jesus

             Dwelleth*=IS LIVING    GOD IS A SPIRIT John 4:24a

      *THE SPIRIT OF GOD Living in Jesus, and us, does the work through us if we believe in Jesus

                             prevent*= precede                      asleep=be put to sleep, dead 

                                                                     (16) 

 

 

   JESUS TELLS us the signs WHEN and WHAT and WHO to look for when HE Returns:                                                           

    24:15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by

 Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand)

24:16  then, let them which be in Judea flee into the mountains.24:17 Let him which

 is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house. 24:18 Neither

 let him which is in the field, return back to take his clothes. 24:19 And woe unto them that

                 are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! 24:20 But pray ye

that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the Sabbath day.24:21 For then shall

 be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world

          to this time, no, nor ever shall be. 24:22 And except those days

     should be shortened, there should  no flesh be saved. But for the

                        elect's sake, those days shall be shortened

24:23 Then, if any man shall say unto you, lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.

24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs

and wonders; insomuch that if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

24:25 Behold, I have told you before.24:26 Wherefore; if they shall say unto you,

behold, He is in the desert; go not forth. Behold, he is in the secret chambers;

believe it not.24:27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even

                unto the west; so shall also the coming of The Son Of Man be.

24:28 For wheresoever the carcass is, there will the eagles be gathered together.

24:29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days, shall the sun be darkened,

and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the

powers of the heavens, shall be shaken.24:30 And then, shall appear The Sign Of The

Son Of Man In Heaven. And then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn. And they

   shall see The Son Of Man Coming, in the clouds of heaven, with power, and

    great glory. 24:31 And He shall send His angels with a great sound of a

    trumpet* And they shall gather together His elect from the four winds, from one

                                               end of  heaven to the other.                      Matt.24:15-31

 

13:27 And then shall He send His angels, and shall Gather Together His Elect

            from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth, to the

                                        uttermost part of heaven*                       Mark 13:14-27       

 

*shout with the voice of the archangel The Trump Of God= looks like the same

                           event as in 1st Cor.15:52 & Rev.19:17; pg.5 this

   article?   uttermost part of heaven*= From where? Please see Rev.6:9-11; &

         Rev.7:9-15 on page 3 & 4 or read all of Rev.6 & 7 at the end of this article

      Gather   His Elect    from the uttermost part of the earth, to the

           uttermost part of heaven*=the living and those who died believing in

        Jesus, gathered together at the same time= ONE EVENT=When Jesus returns

  To shorten the days of   great tribulation which HE shortens  for the

  elect's sake. It looks like some of His Elect will be alive during  Great Tribulation

God will accomplish all of this:

                            In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, At The Last Trump.

                            For The Trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised,

                                     incorruptible. And we shall be changed. 1stCor.15:52

                                     For The Lord Himself shall descend from heaven
        with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with The Trump Of God*And the

       dead In Christ*shall rise first. 4:17 Then, we which are alive, and remain, shall be

       caught up, together with them, in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air.

                         And so, shall we ever be, with the Lord. 4:18 Wherefore, 
                                     comfort one another with  these  words.               1stThes.4:16-18   

 

                  Nowhere in God's Word does it say anyone is going to be

    "raptured out of here" It says we will be caught up to meet the lord.

           He is the comfort with which we should comfort one another.

                                      not argue with one another.   

                                                                     

  a great sound of a trumpet*=when Jesus Returns

 

                                                                        (17) 

 

 

                   We are given descriptions and  signs through Daniel as well:   

      

11:31 And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of

        strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the

        abomination that maketh desolate.11:32 And such as do wickedly against

                                   the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries.
                                      But the people that do know their God

       shall be strong, and do exploits.11:33 And they that understand among the

       people shall instruct many. Yet, they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by

      captivity, and by spoil, many days.11:34 Now when they shall fall, they shall be

            holpen*with a little help. But many shall cleave to them with flatteries.

11:35 And some of them of understanding, shall fall, to try them, and to purge,

                        and to make them white, even to the time of the end;

                        because it is  yet for a time appointed.              Daniel11:31-35

 

holpen*=allied, joined, accompanied

 

          Here again we see some of the Elect of Jesus in Great Tribulation, and

        being killed…And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be

saved. But for the elect's sake, whom He hath chosen, He hath shortened the days. 

... and as Jesus comes… with a great sound of a trumpet* And they shall gather

 together His elect from the four winds, from one end of  heaven to the other.  Matt.24:15-31

 

13:27 And then shall He send His angels, and shall Gather Together His Elect

            from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth,

                                    to the uttermost part of heaven*                               Mark 13:27

 

…Then…For The Trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised, incorruptible.

                                               And we shall be changed. 1stCor.15:54

 

4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, them also which sleep

in Jesus, will God bring with HIM For The Lord Himself shall descend from heaven

   with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with The Trump Of God*And the

dead In Christ*shall rise first.4:17 Then, we which are alive, and remain, shall be caught

up, together with them, in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air. And so, shall we ever be,

                                                 with the Lord. 1stThes.4:16-17

 

 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.                        Revelation 6:9-11

 

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.                    Rev. 7:9-14

 

11:35 And some of them of understanding, shall fall, to try them, and to purge,

                        and to make them white, even to the time of the end;

                                 because it is  yet for a time appointed.                 Daniel11:31-35

 

 One Gathering, from heaven and earth; of the living and those who died

      in the lord; together, at one time; when Jesus returns to shorten

            the days of great tribulation; and to rule the earth for a

                             thousand years= one event, when Jesus returns;

                                after that tribulation Mark 13:24, Mat.24:29-30

 

                                                                 (18)

 

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.

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.

                                      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.

                                                                                                                                   Revelation 20:4-6

 

           Next Jesus tells us what to look for that will trigger His Return to Earth:

 

11:31 And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of

        strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place

       the abomination that maketh desolate.11:32 And such as do wickedly

                   against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries. Daniel 11:31-32

 

12:9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel. For The Words are closed up and sealed till the

     time of the end.12:10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried. But the

    wicked shall do wickedly. And none of the wicked shall understand. But the wise

shall understand.12:11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away,

 and the abomination*that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand

  two hundred and ninety days.12:12 Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the

thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.12:13 But go thou thy way till the end be.

                For thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.     Dan.12:9-13

 

13:14 But when ye shall see the abomination*of desolation, spoken of by Daniel

the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,)

then let them that be in Judea, flee to the mountains.3:15 And let him that is on the

housetop not go down into the house, neither enter therein to take any thing out of

 his house. 13:16 And let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up his

garment.13:17 But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those

 days! 13:18 And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter. 13:19 For in those

 days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which

God created, unto this time, neither shall be.13:20 And except that the Lord had

shortened those days, no flesh should be saved. But for the elect's sake, whom He

hath chosen, He hath shortened the days.13:21 And then, if any man shall say to you,

lo, here is Christ; or, lo, He is there; believe him not.13:22 For false Christs and false

prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible,

even the elect. 13:23 But take ye heed. Behold, I have foretold you all things

                                                               

                                                               

13:24 But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and

the moon shall not give her light,13:25 and the stars of heaven shall fall, and The

                                  Powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.

13:26 And then shall they see The Son Of Man coming in the clouds, with Great

Power And Glory.13:27 And then shall He send His angels, and shall gather together

     His elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth,

                                    to the uttermost part of heaven.           Mark 13:14-27

 

the abomination*=an idol in Daniel

the abomination*=idolatry in Matthew, Mark, Luke, & Revelation

 

                                                                   (19)                               

         

21:10 Then said He unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom

 against kingdom. 21:11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines,

 and pestilences; and fearful sights, and great signs shall there be from heaven.21:12

                But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you,

 and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons,

                being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake.

                     21:13 And it shall turn to you for a testimony.     Luke 21:10-13

 

15:20 Remember The Word that I said unto you, the servant is not greater than his

Lord. If they have persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they have kept

My saying,  they will keep yours also.15:21 But all these things will they do unto

     you, for my name's sake, because they know not him*that sent me*

                                                                                                                               John15:20-21

 

 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of The Lord appeared unto

 him in a dream saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary

thy wife. For that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost* Mat.1:20

 

                             him*that sent me*= THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD

                                                       god is a spirit John4:24a

                                          the Holy Ghost*=the Holy SPIRIT                                                               

 

 2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by

our gathering together unto Him, 2:2 that ye be not soon shaken in mind,  or be

troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that The Day Of

Christ Is At Hand.2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means. For That Day shall not

    come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed,
 the son of perdition; 2:4 who opposeth, and  exalteth himself above all that is

 called God, or that is worshipped.  So, that he, as God, sitteth in the temple of God,

  showing himself that he, is God.2:5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you,

I told you these things? 2:6 And now ye know what withholdeth, that he

might be revealed, in his time. 2:7 For The Mystery Of Iniquity doth already work.

  Only HE* Who now letteth* will let, until HE be taken out of the way.2:8 And then

   shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit

      of  his mouth, and shall destroy, with the brightness of his coming.

2:9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan, with all power, and

 signs and lying wonders,2:10 and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness, in

 them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might

be saved. 2:11 And for this cause, God shall send them strong delusion, that they

should believe a lie. 2:12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth,

                                    but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

 

           HE*=THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD AT WORK IN THE WORLD, HOWEVER HE CHOOSES, and by

                 whatever means HE CHOOSES                       letteth*=hold down, hold back, prevent

                                                                     (20)

 

 

                    Paul was led to write that it will not be so with those whom

                                                          GOD HAS CALLED:                                                            

 2:13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God, for you, brethren, Beloved Of

          the Lord, because God hath, from the beginning, chosen you to

 salvation, through sanctification of the Spirit, and belief of the truth

    2:14 Whereunto He called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our

Lord Jesus Christ.2:15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which

   ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle. 2:16 Now our Lord Jesus

   Christ Himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given

us everlasting consolation, and good hope, through grace, 2:17 comfort your hearts,

                            and stablish you in every good word and work.        2ndThes. 2:1-17

 

    Daniel was led to give us a description of that man of sin, the son of perdition…

 

11:36 And the king shall do according to his will. And he shall exalt himself, and

    magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against

The God of gods* and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished. For that,

    that is determined shall be done. 11: 37 Neither shall he regard the God of his

 fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god. For he shall magnify himself

 above all*11: 38 But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces; and a god whom

 his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones

and pleasant things. 11: 39 Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange

 god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory. And he shall cause them

to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain.11:40 And at the time of the end

 shall the king of the south push at him. And the king of the north shall come against

 him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and

he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over.11:41 He shall

enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown. But these

 shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of

Ammon.11:42 He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries. And the land of

Egypt shall not escape.11:43 But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and

       of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt. And the Libyans and the

Ethiopians shall be at his steps.11:44 But tidings out of the east and out of the north

 shall trouble him. Therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly

        to make away many.11:45 And he shall plant the tabernacles*of his palace

between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end,

                                                and none shall help him.                   Daniel 11:36-45

 

Jesus tells us that those that do not love GOD will receive this man who will come

                              in his own name; as written in Daniel 11:36-38:

 

5:41 I receive not honor from men.5:42 But I know you, that ye have not the love of

 God in you.5:43 I am come in My Father's name, and ye receive Me not. If another

shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.5:44 How can ye believe, which

receive honor one of another, and seek not the honor that cometh from God only?

                                                                                                                  John 5:41-44

 

          These are the same men who love to be well spoken of by other men.

 

Jesus tells us what is waiting for them: Woe unto you when all men shall speak well

                   of you! For so did their fathers to the false prophets.             Luke 6:26

 

Of such men Jesus says they may speak well of you, but Jesus does not say they

                                Really Think well of you, nor even well for you.

            12:1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which

                                    standeth for the children of thy people.
*And there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there

                                  was a nation; even to that same time*
 And at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written

in the book.12:2  And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall

 awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.12:3 And

they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament. And they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words,

and seal the book, even to the time of the end. Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge

                                                            shall be increased.                                  Daniel 11:36-12:4

 

           For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the  

    beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall beMatt. 24:21

 

Once again we see Daniel led to speak of Great Tribulation (a time of trouble)

as we see Jesus saying in: Matt. 24:21. Also, we see Daniel in agreement with The

       Event described to us in 1st Cor.  1st & 2nd Thess.; The Gospels, And Revelation.

  Now Paul is led to tell us that THE GOSPEL is preached by men who saw Jesus die,

          and resurrect back to life again. These men are actual EYEWITNESSES:

 

15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you,

       which also ye have received, and wherein, ye stand.15:2 By which also, ye are

   saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed,

      in vain.15:3 For I delivered unto you, first of all, that which I also received,

                      how that Christ died for our sins, according to the scriptures.

15:4  And that He was buried, and that He rose again, the third day, according to

   the scriptures. 15:5  And that He was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve. 15:6

  After that, He was seen of  above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the

 greater part  remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. 15:7 After that,

He was seen of James; then of all the apostles.15:8 And last of all, He was seen of

                                   me also, as of one born out of due time.*(skipped vs.9-10)

      15:11 Therefore, whether it were I, or they, so we preach, and so, ye believed.

 

 Paul is led to assure us that Jesus is Resurrected form the dead. Jesus has left us

   with the hope of Salvation Through Him, and our own resurrection from death:

 

15:12 Now, if Christ be preached, that He rose from the dead, how say some among

you, that there is no resurrection of the dead?15:13 But if there be no resurrection of

        the dead, then is Christ not risen.15:14 And if Christ be not risen, then is our

      preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.15:15 Yea, and we, are found false

   witnesses of God; because we have testified of God, that he raised up Christ;

whom HE raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.15:16  For if the dead rise not

   then is not Christ raised.15:17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are

      yet in your sins.15:18 Then, they also, which are fallen asleep in Christ, are

   perished.15:19 If in this life only, we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most

miserable.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.  1st Corinthians15:1-8; & 11-21*

 

            by man*=by man Adam came death               by man*=by Man Jesus, came Resurrection

                                                                        (22) 

 

 

 Jesus tells us what Life is, and why some will never experience death until the

           Time Of The Second Death, when all shall see what death really is:       

                       

      It Is the spirit That  Gives LIFE*(quickeneth)* The flesh profiteth nothing.

   The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

                      6:64 But there are some of you that believe not.   John 6:63-64a

               

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

                                                                                                               

Verily I say unto you, there be some standing here, which shall not taste*of death,

                       till they see The Son Of Man Coming, In His Kingdom.     Matt.16:28

 

         If THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD IS ALIVE IN US, we, as believers in Jesus,

  shall never die. Those of us Alive In Jesus, By His HOLY SPIRIT, will have

part in The First Resurrection, and The Second Death, REAL DEATH, will

       have no effect on us. although we will see, at the White Throne

                         Judgment, The effect Of What Death Really Is:

 

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.

20:4 But the rest of the dead lived not again, until the thousand years were finished.

20:5 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.

                                      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.

                                                                  

   dead*=physical death                                                                      taste*=experience, understand

                                                                   (23)

 

 

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.               Revelation 20:4-15

                                                                                                             

                          6:28 Then said they unto Him, what shall we do,

                                    that we might work The Works Of God?*

           6:29 Jesus answered, and said unto them,  This Is The Work Of God,

                            that ye believe on him, whom he hath sent.

       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

             IS LIVING* Dwelleth*In Me, HE doeth* The Works.          John 6:28-29; 14:10

 

     doeth*=does, is doing

 

          I have Glorified thee on the earth. I have finished The work*
                                      which thou
gavest me to do.                            John 17:4

 

17:9                     I pray for them. I pray not for the world, but for them

                           which thou hast given me. For they are thine.

17:10               And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and

                                        I am glorified in them.                                      John17:9-10

 

       As thou hast sent me into the world, even so, have I also sent them

                                                into the world.                                               John 17:18


 
the holy spirit of god sent Jesus into the world to glorify him. Jesus

    finished the Work he was sent to do. Jesus glorified god on earth.

 Jesus sends us into the World, as the father sent him, for Jesus to be

  glorified in us. This is the work We are sent to do. We are to glorify

      Jesus in us. WE ARE TO show the world that Jesus is alive in us, and

   is working through us, to bring HIS GOSPEL OF salvation to all men:

 

                                           Abide* in me, and I in you.                                John 15:4a

 

      He that receiveth you, receiveth me, and he that receiveth me,

                                         receiveth him that sent me.                              Matt.10:40                                                                                           

     Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that receiveth Whomsoever I send, receiveth me

             And he that receiveth me, receiveth him that sent me.     John 13:20

 

16:15 And he said unto them, go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel

To Every Creature* 16:16 He that believeth, and is baptized, shall be saved.

                                    But he that believeth not, shall be damned.    Mark 16:15-16

     2:8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with
 the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy, with the brightness of his coming

2:9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan, with all power, and signs and lying
                          wonders,2:10 and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness,
                                                        in them that perish;
because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved
.
        2:11 And for this cause, GOD shall send them strong delusion, that they should
  believe a lie;2:12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had
                                                    pleasure in unrighteousness.        2nd Thessalonians 2:8-12

  It Is the spirit That  Gives LIFE*(quickeneth)* The flesh profiteth nothing.

   The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

                      6:64 But there are some of you that believe not.          John 6:63-64a

 

                      16:13   Howbeit, when HE, The Spirit Of Truth* is come,

                                           He will guide you into All Truth

         For He shall not speak of Himself. But whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He

                               speak. And He will shew you things to come.                        John 16:13

 

       ... how much more Shall your  Heavenly Father, give The Holy Spirit,

                                                 to them that Ask HIM                                 Luke 11:13b 

 

 

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 REVELATION Of JESUS CHRIST ACCORDING TO JOHN

                    THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST 
                             as recorded by 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 breasts((*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  *love,  (*charity*) 

               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?

      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.
