How to study the book of Revelation, Part 1

How to study the book of Revelation, Part 1

This study is for those who desire to take up a study of Revelation, but who are not sure precisely as to how to proceed. Perhaps you have attempted a studied Revelation before but were unable to make heads or tails about it or you simply avoided the book altogether because it appeared too complicated. Adding to the confusion is the fact that there are numerous commentaries written on the subject, each being presented from a different perspective based upon…

Proclamation against Tyre and Sidon, Part 5

Proclamation against Tyre and Sidon, Part 5

Ezekiel Chapter 26 We continue once again with, VERSE 19 “For thus says the Lord God: ‘When I make you a desolate city, like cities that are not inhabited, when I bring the deep upon you, and great waters cover you.” The Lord will indeed bring the deep (the “sea”) upon Great Babylon, and it will completely cover her, this is what is implied in Rev 18:21 at the final demise of the “great city”. “Then a strong angel took…

Revelation Chapter 14 Verses 9-12 “Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the…

Revelation Chapter 14 Verses 6-7 “Then I saw an angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth—to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people— saying with a loud voice, “Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come; and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water.” “Then I saw an ANGEL… In Scripture there are four primary…

  This study is in response to the following comment we received from one of our readers, “You need to read Revelation 14 again. Many things wrong with your dissertation. Most obvious one is how Revelation 14 is clear that those who take the mark of the beast will definitely go to Hell for eternity.” Let us take a closer look at Revelation Chapter 14 specifically the text which you believe supports your thought. Verses 9-11 “Then a third angel…

The Golden Image There is a direct comparison to be made between the golden image of the Book of Daniel and the image of the beast in the Apocalypse. (Rev 13:18) 600 (six hundred) 60 (threescore) 6 (six) 666 Image of Gold Daniel 3:1 Height 60 cubits Breadth 6 cubits In both instances the numbers are multiples of six. Both refer to statues that are set up. Both have to do with religious worship, and in each case the penalty…

“By Thy Words Thou Shall Be Condemned” (Matt 12:37) The Council of Trent, as is well known, declared the Latin Vulgate to be the only authentic version of Scripture, and doctors at the council preferred it to the Hebrew and Greek text itself—though the prophets and the apostles wrote in the latter. For over a thousand years the Roman Church Latinized everything, and to a large ex-tent still does use the Latin: in the Mass, prayers, hymns, litanies, canons, decretals,…

“Some believe that every word and letter of Scriptures was divinely directed. This has led to a method of reading Scripture called “Gematria.” This is a method of adding the numeric value of each Hebrew or Greek letter in a text to determine a clue to some extended meaning of the text. Here we must be very careful not to use some value to insert a private interpretation or to fanaticize with the many mystical interpretations of the Cabalistic branch…

Revelation Chapter 13, Part 5

CHAPTER 14:1-5 CONTINUES THE NARRATIVE It is clear that the chapter division is in the wrong place. The first five verses of Chapter 14 show those with the PROPER mark on their foreheads — the overcomers. It completes the story of Chapter 13. If this were not so, Chapter 14, about the harvest, would have the Church complete at the beginning of the harvest! VERSE 1 “Then I looked, and behold, a Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with Him…

Revelation Chapter 13 continued. VERSE 16 “He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads…” AND HE CAUSES ALL: Uniformity is Satan’s trademark. THE SMALL AND THE GREAT: The amount of influence one has in the world is not an exemption. THE RICH AND THE POOR: The amount of one’s wealth or knowledge is also not an exemption. THE FREE MEN AND THE SLAVES:…
