<h5>Lamb on Zion with 144,000 Commandos</h5>
|
||
<p class="hangIndent">[1] “And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Zion, and with him an hundred forty [and] four thousand, having his Father’s name written in their foreheads.”</p>
|
||
<p>Not 143,999: <i>none are missing!</i> “I have lost none.” They have come through the Tribulation miraculously, just like the three Hebrews in <a onclick="return mV('Dan',3,'1-')">Daniel 3</a>—by the way, where was Daniel?</p>
|
||
<p>[Who preserves (even us) today? Jesus Christ. Not methods or programs: the Person. When was the last time you told Him you loved Him?]</p>
|
||
<p>Note: They are standing, with Him, on Mt. Zion. We think of heaven as remote. It seems more likely that it is another dimension of present existence—not necessarily removed from ours.</p>
|
||
<p>“Zion”: only mention in Revelation; captured from Jebusites by David (<a onclick="return mV('2Sa',5,'1-')">2Sa 5</a>). The city Jerusalem. This year: 3,000th anniversary. <a onclick="return mV('Zec',12,'1-')">Zech 12</a>: “A cup of trembling;... a burdensome stone...” (Even now, Satan’s focus!) Even Islam ignored it; until Israel regained it.</p>
|
||
<p><a onclick="return mV('Psa',2,6)">Psa 2:6</a> “Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.” Father’s intention to place Jesus upon the throne of David—not the Palestinians—in Jerusalem; specifically, on Mt. Zion.</p>

<p>Summarized: <a onclick="return mV('Isa',2,'2-4')">Isa 2:2-4</a> = <a onclick="return mV('Mic',4,'1-4')">Micah 4:1-4</a>.<br>Both names: Father + Son (<a onclick="return mV('Jhn',14,23)">Jhn 14:23</a>, “we”).</p>
|
||
<p class="hangIndent">[3] “And they sung as it were a new song before the throne...”: These sing a new song that others cannot share (Cf. <a onclick="return mV('Psa',3,3)">Psa 3:3</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Psa',40,3)">Psa 40:3</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Psa',96,1)">Psa 96:1</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Psa',98,1)">Psa 98:1</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Psa',144,9)">Psa 144:9</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Psa',149,1)">Psa 149:1</a>). And also <a onclick="return mV('Psa',107,1,2)">Psa 107:1-2</a>: <i>only the redeemed</i> can truly sing praises to Him. [Do you?]</p>
|
||
<p>We are not in this group, but we also have been redeemed out of the earth and this world system (<a onclick="return mV('Jhn',17,'14-19')">Jhn 17:14-19</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Phl',3,'17-21')">Phil 3:17-21</a>).</p>
|
||
<p class="hangIndent">[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 firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb”: Is this literal or figurative? Probably both. They kept themselves for the Lord alone. Jeremiah, on the threshold of the Babylonian captivity, was forbidden to marry (<a onclick="return mV('Jer',16,'1-4')">Jer 16:1-4</a>); also note Jesus’ warning in <a onclick="return mV('Mat',24,19)">Mat 24:19</a>. Also, however, idolatry was labelled as (spiritual) fornication (<a onclick="return mV('Eze',16,'1-')">Eze 16</a>).</p>
|
||
<p>[Church: chaste virgin to Christ (<a onclick="return mV('Eph',5,26,27)">Eph 5:26-27</a>); chaste (vs. Jezebel) in <a onclick="return mV('2Co',11,2)">2Cr 11:2</a>.]</p>
|
||
<p>Firstfruits: the very finest, from an expected harvest (Cf. <a onclick="return mV('Rom',11,15,16)">Rom 11:15-16</a>). Israel will enjoy a unique role in the Millennial Kingdom. These may well be the “brethren” in <a onclick="return mV('Mat',25,'1-')">Matthew 25</a>.</p>
|
||
<p class="hangIndent">[5] “And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God”: They were not taken by “The Lie” (<a onclick="return mV('2Th',2,11)">2Th 2:11</a>). “Without blemish” since they are clothed with the righteousness of the Lamb.</p>
|
||
<h5>First Angel: With the Eternal Gospel</h5>
|
||
<p class="hangIndent">[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”: Today, the Gospel of Grace, proclaimed by men. Then, proclaimed by angels, who are indestructible (even the two witnesses are killed by the World Leader). Which “Gospel”? Other “gospels”:</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>False gospels (<a onclick="return mV('2Co',11,4)">2Cr 11:4</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Gal',1,6)">Gal 1:6</a>);</li>
|
||
<li>Gabriel announcing birth of John the Baptist (<a onclick="return mV('Luk',1,19)">Luk 1:19</a>);</li>

||
<li>Angelic hosts to shepherds (<a onclick="return mV('Luk',2,10)">Luk 2:10</a>);</li>
|
||
<li>News of the spiritual growth of the Thessalonian church (<a onclick="return mV('1Th',3,6)">1Th 3:6</a>);</li>
|
||
<li>7th angel, Mystery of God will be finished (<a onclick="return mV('Rev',10,7)">Rev 10:7</a>);</li>
|
||
<li>Preaching of the Kingdom (<a onclick="return mV('Mat',24,14)">Mat 24:14</a>, et al.).</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<p>This one appears to be creation-oriented, as <a onclick="return mV('Psa',19,'1-')">Psa 19</a> and <a onclick="return mV('Rom',1,'1-')">Rom 1</a>.</p>
|
||
<p>[Only in more recent times has the arrogance of “science” been anti-god. Johannes Kepler (1571-1630) saw God as a “Divine Mathematician” whose mind could be discovered in the precise mechanics of the universe. Sir Isaac Newton (1643-1727) saw God as the “Divine Presence” who set the universe in motion. “This most beautiful system of the Sun, planet and comets could only proceed from the counsel and dominion of the intelligent and powerful Being.” (Newton also wrote over a million words of Biblical commentary, regarding it all literally.)</p>
|
||
<p>[See <i>Beyond Time and Space, Beyond Perception, Beyond Coincidence</i>, et al.)</p>
|
||
<p>This one is “good news” for God’s people—but bad news for the rebellious “earth dwellers”:</p>
|
||
<p style="margin:0px 0px 0px 80px;">“Judgment is come.”</p>
|
||
<p style="margin:0px 0px 0px 140px;">“Fear God... “</p>
|
||
<p style="margin:0px 0px 0px 200px;">The Final Call.</p>
|
||
<h5>Second Angel: Doom of Babylon</h5>
|
||
<p class="hangIndent">[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.”</p>
|
||
<p>First mention in Revelation of “Babylon the Great” which will be center stage in <a onclick="return mV('Rev',17,'1-')">Revelation 17</a> & <a onclick="return mV('Rev',18,'1-')">Revelation 18</a>.</p>
|
||
<p>Babylon has been Satan’s Headquarters from the beginning. The worship of Semiramis—and the female principal in the deity; the fountainhead of false religions (Cf. <a onclick="return mV('Jer',51,'6-9')">Jer 51:6-9</a>; “Is fallen, fallen”: <a onclick="return mV('Gen',41,32)">Gen 41:32</a>).</p>
|
||
<p>“Fell, Fell”: prophetic aorist tense. It’s history, as we might say. Yet to be destroyed as the Bible predicts; thus, yet to emerge again (<a onclick="return mV('Jer',51,7)">Jer 51:7</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Isa',13,11)">Isa 13:11</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Jer',25,'15-26')">Jer 25:15-26</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Isa',13,19)">Isa 13:19</a>). Re: Alexander Hislop,<i> The Two Babylons</i> etc.).</p>
|
||
<h5>Third Angel: Fury on Beast Worshippers</h5>
|
||
<p class="hangIndent">[9] “And the third angel followed them...”:</p>
|
||
<p class="hangIndent">[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”:</p>
|
||
<p>A fatal choice. This does not involve the Church, which has been redeemed. “Enduring to the end” (<a onclick="return mV('Mat',24,13)">Mat 24:13</a>) was addressed to those in this period.</p>
|
||
<p class="hangIndent">[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”: Preview of Bowls (<a onclick="return mV('Rev',15,'1-')">Rev 15</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Rev',16,'1-')">Rev 16</a>).</p>
|
||
<p>Punishment is eternal: “ages of ages” 12X in book; 8X, glory of Father & Christ; 3X duration of punishment of Devil and his; 1X (here) people who insist on following him.</p>
|
||
<p>“Fire”: symbolic? <a onclick="return mV('Mat',13,'36-42')">Mat 13:36-42</a> implies that it is literal. The literalness of “hell” is a serious issue (which we tend to avoid addressing). God will not mix mercy with this judgment (<a onclick="return mV('Psa',75,8)">Psa 75:8</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Hab',3,2)">Hab 3:2</a>). The Seven Bowls are coming.</p>
|
||
<p>We may not like the concept of torment, but we are dealing with holy love—both words are paramount. True righteousness is also the issue. The time to deal with this is now, not then. “Then” is too late.</p>
|
||
<h5>Voice (4th Angel): Happiness of Righteous Dead</h5>
|
||
<p class="hangIndent">[13] “And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed [are] the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth”: <a onclick="return mV('Phl',1,'23-26')">Phil 1:23-26</a>. Strange assurance—“from now on.” This reassurance is only relevant <i>if they feel they have missed the resurrection!</i> (This was the anxiety of the Thessalonians when the Roman persecutions under Nero began, and led to Paul’s disclosures in <a onclick="return mV('1Th',4,13)">1Th 4:13</a>ff.)</p>
|
||
<h5>Preview of Armageddon</h5>
|
||
<p class="hangIndent">[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”: <a onclick="return mV('Mat',24,30)">Mat 24:30</a> (Cf. <a onclick="return mV('Rev',19,15)">Rev 19:15</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Jer',25,30)">Jer 25:30</a>).</p>

<p><b>Sickle:</b> 12X in the Scriptures: 7X in this section. “Sharp”occurs 7X in Revelation (4X in this chapter).</p>
|
||
<h5>Fifth Angel:</h5>
|
||
<p class="hangIndent">[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”: Overripe = withered (<a onclick="return mV('Jam',1,11)">Jam 1:11</a>; Cf. <a onclick="return mV('Mat',21,19,20)">Mat 21:19-20</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Mar',3,1,3)">Mar 3:1, 3</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Jhn',15,6)">Jhn 15:6</a>).</p>
|
||
<p>[Some would argue that we are not called to <i>harvest</i> today: this harvest is the end of the world (<a onclick="return mV('Luk',3,'8-17')">Luk 3:8-17</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Mat',13,'24-30','36-43')">Mat 13:24-30, 36-43</a>; also <a onclick="return mV('Joe',3,13,14)">Joel 3:13-14</a>). We are called to <i>sow</i>: to sow the Word of God.]</p>
|
||
<h5>Sixth Angel:</h5>
|
||
<p class="hangIndent">[17] “And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.”</p>
|
||
<h5>Seventh Angel:</h5>
|
||
<p class="hangIndent">[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.”</p>
|
||
<p>Note this harvest of <a onclick="return mV('Rev',14,'17-20')">Rev 14:17-20</a> is of grapes, not wheat, as in <a onclick="return mV('Rev',14,'14-16')">Rev 14:14-16</a>. There, the angels separate the tares from the wheat, etc. Gathering of unrighteous: <a onclick="return mV('Joe',3,1,2'9-17')">Joel 3:1-2, 9-17</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Isa',63,'1-6')">Isa 63:1-6</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Zec',14,'1-3')">Zech 14:1-3</a>.</p>
|
||
<p><a onclick="return mV('Isa',34,'1-3',6)">Isa 34:1-3, 6</a>. I don’t believe this is for the Church.</p>
|
||
<p class="hangIndent">[19] “And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth...”: There are several vine idioms—the grape harvest is often the idiom for the Day of the Lord (<a onclick="return mV('Joe',3,13)">Joel 3:13</a>ff).</p>
|
||
<p>Israel was God’s vine, planted in the land to bear fruit for God’s glory, but failed and had to be cut down (<a onclick="return mV('Psa',80,'8-16')">Psa 80:8-16</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Isa',5,'1-7')">Isa 5:1-7</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Mat',21,'3-46')">Mat 21:3-46</a>).</p>
|
||
<p>[Christ is the True Vine and the believers are branches in Him (<a onclick="return mV('Psa',80,8)">Psa 80:8</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Jhn',15,'1-')">Jhn 15</a>). Also, the Menorah appears to portray this light bearing.]</p>
|
||
<p class="hangIndent">[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”: Four feet deep. 1,600 furlongs = 180 miles (Megiddo to Bozrah, which is 20 mi SE Dead Sea). We will explore this in more detail when we get to <a onclick="return mV('Rev',19,'1-')">Revelation 19</a>.</p>
|
||
<p>[We tend to think of nuclear weapons. The 70,000 extinguished at Hiroshima pales before the 125,000 killed by firearms and bayonets at Iwo Jima earlier that same year. We also forget our own bloody Civil War, which was so vast and terrible that it consumed more American lives than World War I and II, Korea, and Vietnam <i>combined</i>—all with merely bayonets, firearms, and cannonballs.]</p>
|
||
<p><a onclick="return mV('Psa',45,'3-7')">Psalm 45:3-7</a> is also a prediction of this. It is strange that Israel in its present state does not believe its own Scriptures. It is ironic that many Jews are atheists (a contradiction of terms!). [An agnostic Jew: one who knows what the God he doesn’t believe in requires of him.]</p>
|
||
<p>Denying the God of the Old Testament, and the relevance of the Scriptures to their own destiny; This winepressing is a judgment for apostasy, which <a onclick="return mV('Jer',30,'1-')">Jeremiah 30</a> calls “the time of Jacob’s Trouble.”</p>
|
||
<p>We need make no apology for this. Sin is an awful thing. Sin is in the world. You and I are sinners. Christ is the only remedy for us. This judgment will inevitably come upon Christ-rejecters.</p>
|
||
<p>Those who think that the Church is going through the Great Tribulation (The Great Day of God’s Wrath) understand neither the nature of the Church, nor the nature of the Tribulation. They underestimate both.</p>
|
||
<p>Before that morning dawns, the long night of the human race will grow darker. Much darker. This chapter was just a prelude to the bowls that are coming in the next two chapters.</p>
|
||
<h5>The Doctrine of Endless Punishment</h5>
|
||
<p>Salvation supposes a prior damnation. In order to escape danger, one must believe in it.</p>
|
||
<p>No error is more fatal than that of Universalism. It blots out the attribute of retributive justice; it transmutes sin into misfortune; turns all suffering into chastisement; relegates the sacrifice of Christ into simply moral influence; and makes it a debt due to man, instead of an unmerited boon from God. Throughout the Bible, we see God’s love and grace freely available to all who will accept it. The entire Bible is a record of the extremes <i>He</i> has gone to in order to allow us to avoid the destiny of our fallen state.</p>
|
||
<p>People respond, “No, God, I do not want to love you. I want to run things my own way.”</p>
|
||
<p>God has three alternatives when confronted with such human rebellion:</p>
|
||
<p> 1) He can <i>indulge</i> it and allow it to go on forever. But in that case all the cruelty, injustice, hatred, pain, and death that now prevails on the earth will go on forever, too. God does not want that and neither does man.</p>
|
||
<p>2) God can <i>force</i> man to obey and control the human race as if it were an assemblage of automata. However, removing our free will would also take away our capacity to give our love to God freely. Love cannot be forced.</p>
|
||
<p>3) God’s only real choice: He must <i>withdraw Himself</i> from those who refuse His love. He must let them have their own way forever. Since God is necessary for our existence, the decision to reject God is a decision to plunge ourselves into the most terrible sense of loneliness and isolation a human being can know—and to endure this eternally, without any hope.</p>
|
||
<p>Physical death is the separation of the soul from the body. Spiritual death is the separation of the soul from God Himself.</p>
|
||
<p>Ultimately:</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>It is <b><i>we ourselves</i> </b> who choose whether God will judge us.</li>
|
||
<li>It is <b><i>we ourselves</i> </b> who decide either to accept or refuse His grace, love, and forgiveness.</li>
|
||
<li>It is <b><i>we ourselves</i> </b> who choose everlasting life—or everlasting death.</li>
|
||
</ul>
