In this week’s study, I begin with an introduction to Chapter 16. However, once again before I begin I go into this study I go into a rant on some of the current events that affected our daily life, showing the oath of the Shiners’ to Allah, sharing a portfolio of Evelyn De Rothschild and exploring how the worlds billionaires want to curb the world’s population and also shared and article by Greg Reese
Quote by Voltaire “To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize.”
How do we know that the events remaining in the 7th Vial – great earthquake, Babylon is judged, mountains and islands are moved and great hail – are what happens at Armageddon? All we have to do is compare them with Ezekiel 38:18-22. Ezekiel 38 is the Battle of Gog and Magog. We compared this with the 7th Vial and found that it was one and the same. In both cases there is a great earthquake, mountains and islands move and there are great hailstones. We definitely know that the items remaining in the 7th Vial are Armageddon!
The four preceding chapters (12-15) contained the lengthy Introduction to the Bowls section which were given in preparation for the bowl events. The last events on earth preceding the bowls were the things described by the trumpet events in chapters 8 through 11.
In chapter 11, we saw that the two witnesses in Jerusalem will be prophesying and pronouncing plagues upon the earth during the 1260 days of the great tribulation (Rev 11:3), and those plagues shall do enormous harm to the earth. The plagues will stop when Antichrist finally succeeds in killing the two witnesses (Rev 11:7). In response to their deaths, the unbelieving world bursts into joyous celebration. In their minds, Antichrist will have saved the world. For the unbelieving world, this will be a time of victory, relief, and praise for Antichrist.
However, the celebrations will last for just three and one-half days. It ends abruptly when those two witnesses return to life. A voice from heaven calls “Come up here“, the two witnesses ascend into a cloud, and Jerusalem experiences a great earthquake (Rev 11:12-13).
The 1260 days in which the two witnesses served on earth corresponds to the 42 months given for Antichrist to reign on earth (Rev 13:5). When the two witnesses ascend to heaven, it marks the conclusion of both (1) their 1260 days of service and (2) Antichrist’s 42 months to reign as king.
As Antichrist’s reign ends, Yahshua Messiah’s reign begins (Rev 11:17). What happens next is that Antichrist’s kingdom shall be forcibly taken away and destroyed forever (Dan 7:26). This transition takes place during the Day of the Lord, which corresponds to the period in which the bowl events strike the earth.
1 And I heard a great voice out of the temple = A loud voice out of the temple as seen in heaven (read Rev. 11:19), and that came, therefore, from the very presence of Yahweh.
Saying to the seven angels = That had the seven vials of wrath. See verses in Rev. 15:1, 7. The 7 angels are now instructed to Pout the bowls out on this earth.
Go your ways = Your respective ways, to the fulfillment of the task assigned to each.Ways = hupagō ‘hoop-ag'-o’; to lead (oneself) under, that is, withdraw or retire (as if sinking out of sight), literally or figuratively:And pour out the vials of the wrath of God = Empty those vials; cause to come upon the earth the plagues indicated by their contents. The order in which this was to be done is not intimated. It seems to be supposed that that would be understood by each.
