In this week’s study, I begin with Chapter 19. Before I get into the study, I talk about The Eurovision 2024 so called music fest, however I focus on Finale which Was Basically a Demonic Ritual. I reveal the top share holders of the Walmart Corp, Blackrock and Vanguard.
Chapter 19 continues and concludes the final period of events, which is called the bowl period. After the bowl introduction in chapters 12-15, the bowl events began in chapter 16, where we saw all 7 bowl events described. However as explained there, chapter 16 was not the conclusion of the bowls. Rather, the description of the bowl period continued into chapters 17 and 18 where the bowl interlude was presented.
Here in chapter 19, the bowls continue with a resumption of the seventh bowl event. That is, chapter 19 picks up where we left off at the end of chapter 16. The sixth bowl event in Rev 16:12-16 described nations gathering at Armageddon to make war against Yahweh, and then the seventh bowl event began in Rev 16:17-21 with an enormous earthquake and hail storm. However, it curiously never mentioned the outcome of the war. That glaring deficiency is resolved here in chapter 19.
This chapter describes the conclusion of Yahweh’s wrath on earth, and it must be considered part of the seventh bowl because Rev 15:1 stated that Yahweh’s wrath would be finished in the bowls.
1 And after these things = The things particularly that were exhibited in the previous chapter. In other words, after the destruction of religious and commercial Babylon in chapters 17 and 18,
I heard a great voice of much people in heaven = The voice of the worshippers before the throne.
Saying, Alleluia = It means, properly, “Praise Yahweh,” or “Praise the Lord.”
Salvation = That is, the salvation is to be ascribed to Yahweh. Now, bear in mind. Salvation includes more than just our justification and sanctification, as marvelous as that is. But now the ultimate completion of our inheritance is complete in our glorification thereby evoking praise from the heavenly hosts. In other words, “hallelujah, all of the obstacles have been destroyed. The kingdom is now about to come. And all the glory and power belong to our Yahweh” as we see. Now the whole world will witness the glory of Yahweh. Salvation and glory and power belong to our Yahweh is what they will say. And, indeed, it is only by the power of Yahweh that truth and righteousness can ever prevail and that is what we see in verse two.
Unto the Lord our Yahweh =That is, all that there is of honor, glory, power, in the redemption of the world belongs to Yahweh, and should be ascribed to him.
2. For = (hoti). Because. The reason for Yahweh’s judgments is given in Rev. 15:3. The doom of Babylon seen in Rev.14:7 is now realized.
For true and righteous are his judgments = That is, the calamities that come upon the power here referred to are deserved.
For he hath judged the great whore = The power or the beast system represented by the harlot.
Which did corrupt the earth with her fornication = In the Greek, “used to corrupt” continually. “
And hath avenged the blood of his servants =In the Greek, “exacted in retribution.”
3 again = Greek, “a second time.
They say = (eirēkan). Perfect active indicative of eipon. “They have said,”
Smoke = symbolic for judgment
rose up = Greek, “goeth up.
for ever and ever = Greek, “to the ages of the ages.”
