Revelation Chapter 16 VERSES 17-21 “And the seventh (angel) poured out his bowl upon the air; and there came forth a great voice out of the temple, from the throne, saying, it is done: and there were lightning’s, and voices, and thunders; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since there were men upon the earth, so great an earthquake, so mighty. And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations…
Revelation Chapter 16 The Prophet Micaiah This coming concerted action is a reminder of the Micaiah account in 2 Chronicles 18. Micaiah was put in prison just like John the Baptist, another type. The direct tie-in between the experience of Micaiah and Revelation 16:13–16 is strikingly powerful but too complex to explain here in depth. The details will be more readily observed as they approach fulfillment in the not-too-distant future. Simply stated, the Micaiah account records that the kings of…
Revelation Chapter 16 “Behold, I Come as a Thief” The thief like presence of Verse 15 should not be confused with the secret presence or Parousia of the Lord, which began in October 1874. Verse 15 is an admonition interjected between the sixth and the seventh plagues. Double attention is called to this insertion in that it is also interposed—and very obviously so—between Verses 14 and 16, interrupting the flow of thought within the sixth plague message itself. The placement…
Revelation Chapter 16 Three Unclean Spirits Like Frogs The Apostle John, typifying the Lord’s tarrying saints at the end of the age, whose eyes are anointed with the eye salve of understanding, saw an unclean spirit come forth out of the mouth of each of the three symbolic beings mentioned in Verse 13 (the beast, the dragon, and the false prophet). All three unclean spirits resembled “frogs,” and presumably they were alike in other respects too. For John to describe…
Revelation Chapter 16 We should like to take another look at the Sixth Plague this time as it is explained By Brother Shallieu in “The Keys of Revelation” Verse 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. As was stated in our opening on the plagues some brethren are of the belief that the Studies…
Revelation Chapter 16 VERSES 12 -16 continued “And the sixth (angel) poured out his bowl upon the great river, the [river] Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way might be made ready for the kings that [come] from the east (or sunrising). And I saw [coming] out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits, as if it…
Revelation Chapter 16 VERSES 12 -16 continued “And the sixth (angel) poured out his bowl upon the great river, the [river] Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way might be made ready for the kings that [come] from the east (or sunrising). And I saw [coming] out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits, as if it…
Revelation Chapter 16 We continue now from where we left off on Chapter 16 and the sixth plague. VERSES 12 -16 continued “And the sixth (angel) poured out his bowl upon the great river, the [river] Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way might be made ready for the kings that [come] from the east (or sunrising). And I saw [coming] out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast,…
Revelation Chapter 16 Before we continue on with our prophecy concerning the sixth plague, let us take another look at what we had learned from the texts quoted from Matthew 24, 2 Thess 2, and Deuteronomy 13. The point was made that if properly understood these particular texts would serve as warnings of what is to come, that they would greatly aid us in overcoming the deceptions soon to befall the world. But there is more to it than this,…
Revelation Chapter 16 Our last crucial scripture warning us of the deceptions to come comes to us from DEUTERONOMY CHAPTER 13 VERSE 1-4 “If there arises among you a prophet or a dreamer of dreams and he give you a sign or a wonder, and the sign or the wonder comes to pass, of which he spoke to you saying (in essence) ‘Let us go after other gods’—which you have not known, ‘and let us serve them,’ you shall not…
