The Triumphant Approach to Jerusalem

Jesus Riding a horse 

The Triumphant Approach to Jerusalem

Moses was chosen to lead the children of Israel out of Egypt.
Years later when he could not lead them anymore, he
prophesied that another prophet like him would come.

Deuteronomy 18

15 The LORD your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you, from your own people. You must listen to him.

16 For this is what you asked of the LORD your God at Horeb on the day of the assembly when you said, “Let us not hear the voice of the LORD our God nor see this great fire anymore, or we will die.”

17The LORD said to me: “What they say is good.

18 I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their people, and I will put my words in his mouth. He will tell them everything I command him.

19 I myself will call to account anyone who does not listen to my words that the prophet speaks in my name.

20 But a prophet who presumes to speak in my name anything I have not commanded, or a prophet who speaks in the name of other gods, is to be put to death.”

21 You may say to yourselves, “How can we know when a message has not been spoken by the LORD?”

22 If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the LORD does not take place or come true, that is a message the LORD has not spoken. That prophet has spoken presumptuously. No one should be alarmed.

Daniel is in exile for 70 years. He was studing his sarced books and thinking about the 70 years in exile through the prophet Jeremiah. He prayed earnestly, pleading, fasting (that's 3 things to adopt from Daniel when in prayer) and wearing sackcloth and sitting in ashes. He confessed the sins of his people Daniel 9:1-16
Then he asked for God's Restoration vs 17-19. His prayer was interrupted by the angel Gabriel to answer his prayer. I know we not here but check this out

Daniel 9:23 "When you began to plead with God, he answered you. He loves you"

Anyway The restoration was 70 years. The restoration was to restore Jerusalem and the Temple, God's people will be redeemed them from sin and evil. Daniel 24.
7 weeks the temple and Jerusalem will be rebuilt, then it will
stand for 62 weeks.

7 weeks +62 weeks= 69 weeks but before the 1 week left

there's a break. This break is where Jesus fits to complete the
70 weeks of restoration, to redeem sin and evil.

Daniel 9:26 And at the end of that time God's chosen leader
will be killed unjustly. The city (Jerusalem) and the Temple
will be destroyed by the invading army of a powerful ruler.
The end will come like a flood, bringing the war and
destruction which God has prepared.

Then the 1 week left would take place vs 27
The anointed one that would be killed unjustly would be
riding a horse at the end of that 62 weeks before he is killed

Zechariah 9

9 Rejoice greatly, Daughter Zion! Shout, Daughter Jerusalem! See, your king comes to you,  righteous and having salvation, lowly and riding on  donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey. The anointed one wowould come from the tribe of Judah

Micah 5

2 “But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are small among the clansd of Judah, out of you will come for me one who will be ruler over Israel, whose origins are from of old, from ancient times.”

3 Therefore Israel will be abandoned until the time when she who is in labor gives birth and the rest of his brothers return to join the Israelites.

4 He will stand and shepherd his flock in the strength of the LORD, in the majesty of the name of the LORD his God.

The Word became John 1:14
And Micah's prophecy was fulfilled

Luke 2

4 So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David.

5 He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child (Matthew 1:18-25).
6 While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born,

7 and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son.

11 Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.

He was born and was named Jesus as the angel said to Mary, Luke 1:31 You will be one pregnant and give birth to a son, and you will name him Jesus.

Zechariah's prophecy came true

Mark 11

1 As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples,

2 saying to them, “Go to the village ahead of you, and just as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here.

3 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord needs it and will send it back here shortly.’ ”

4 They went and found a colt outside in the street, tied at a doorway. As they untied it,

5 some people standing there asked, “What are you doing, untying that colt?”

6 They answered as Jesus had told them to, and the people let them go.

7 When they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks over it, he sat on it.

Matthew 21

4 this took place to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet:

5 “Say to Daughter Zion, ‘See, your king comes to you, gentle and riding on a donkey, and on a colt, the foal of a donkey.’

8 A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road.

9 The crowds that went ahead of him and those thatfollowed shouted,
“Hosanna to the Son of David!”
“Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!”
“Hosanna in the highest heaven!”

John 12

13 They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting,
“Hosanna!”
“Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!”
“Blessed is the king of Israel!”

Luke 19

38 “Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!”
“Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”

39 Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Jesus,
“Teacher, rebuke your disciples!”

40 “I tell you,” he replied, “if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.”

John 12

17 Now the crowd that was with him when he called Lazarus from the tomb and raised him from the dead continued to spread the word.

18 Many people, because they had heard that he had performed this sign, went out to meet him.

19 So the Pharisees said to one another, “See, this is getting us nowhere. Look how the whole world has gone after him!”

The rejection

John 12

19 So the Pharisees said to one another, “See, this is getting us nowhere. Look how the whole world has gone after him!”

Matthew 21

10 When Jesus entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred and asked, “Who is this?”

11 The crowds answered, “This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee.”

Jesus weeps over Jerusalem

41 As he approached Jerusalem and saw the city, he wept over it

42 and said, “If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace—but now it is hidden from your eyes.

43 The days will come on you when your enemies will build an
embankment against you and encircle you and them you in on every side.

44 They will dash you to the ground, you and the children within your walls. They will not leave one stone on another, because you did not recognize the time of God’s coming to you.”

Jesus goes to the Temple

Mark 11

11 Jesus entered Jerusalem and went into the temple courts.
He looked around at everything,

Matthew 21

12 Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves.

13 “It is written,” he said to them, “ ‘My house will be called a house of prayer,’ but you are making it ‘a den of robbers.’”

14 The blind and the lame came to him at the temple, and he healed them.

15 But when the chief priests and the teachers of the law saw the won derful things he did and the children shouting in the temple courts, “Hosanna to the Son of David,” they were indignant.

16 “Do you hear what these children are saying?” they asked him.
“Yes,” replied Jesus, “have you never read,
“ ‘From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise’?”

17 And he left them and went out of the city to Bethany, where he spent the night.

Then Jesus prophesied about the destruction Daniel spoke
about, the one week left Matthew 24

The Wedding Feast of the Lamb and The Feast of God's Wrath

The Wedding Feast of the Lamb

Rev 19

• 6 Then I heard what sounded like a great multitude, like the roar of rushing waters and like loud peals of thunder, shouting: "Hallelujah! For our Lord God Almighty reigns
• 7 Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready Rev 21:9 One of the 7 angels who had the bowls full of the 7 last plagues came and said to me, "Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb" [10] And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God
• 8 Fine linen, bright and clean, was given her to wear." ( Fine linen stands for the righteous acts of the saints.)
• 9 Then the angel said to me, "Write: 'Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding super of the Lamb!' " And he added, "These are the true words of God. "
• 11 I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and makes war.
• 12 His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. 
• 13 He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood John 19: 30 " It is finished " and his name is the Word of God John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was God. 
• 14 The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. On Rev 6 are horse riders [2] "I looked, and there before me was a white Horse! It's rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and hem rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest." There are other horse riders but with other colours of horses [4, 5 and 8] So heaven doesn't only have angels, 4 living creatures and 24 elders but also horse riders
• 15 Out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. "He will rule them with an iron scepter. " He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. 
• 16 On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. 

The Feast of God's Wrath

• 17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun, who cried in a loud voice to all the birds flying in midair, "Come, gather together for the great supper of God, 
• 18 so that you may eat the flesh of kings, generals and mighty men, of horses and the riders, and the flesh of all people, free and slave, small and great. "
• 19 Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth Rev 17:12 "The 10 horns you saw are 10 kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but who for one hour will receive authority as kings along with the beast [14] They will make war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will overcome them because he is Lord of lords and Kings of kings- and with him will be his called followers, chosen and faithful followers." and their armies gathered together to make war against the rider on the horse and his army. 

This is the Armageddon fight Revelation 16
[12] The 6th angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the East.
[13] Then I saw 3 evil spirits that looked like frogs; they came out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
[14] They are spirits of demons performing miraculous signs, and they go out to the kings of the whole world, to gather them for the battle on the great day of God Almighty.
[16] Then they gathered the kings together to the place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon.

• 20 But the beast Rev 13:1 And in saw a beast coming out of the sea was captured, and with him the false prophet Rev 13:11 Then I saw another beast, coming out of the earth. He had two horns like a lamb, but he spoke like a dragon who had performed the miraculous signs on his behalf And he performed great and miraculous signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to earth in full view of men. With these signs he had deluded those who had received the mark of the beas and worshiped his image Rev13:15 He was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that it could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed [16] He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead). The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulphur. 
• 21 The rest of them were killed with the mouth of the rider on the horse, and all the birds gorged themselves on their flesh The kings of the earth and it's armies

The Saints On Rev 13 Completes the Number Of Saints On Rev 6:11

When John saw the visions on Revelation was during the time christians were being persecuted for their faith in Jesus Christ as Lord. John was putted on the Island of Potmos

Revelation 1:9 was on the Island of Potmos because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus.

John wrote "was" meaning when he saw the visions he "was" on the Island of Potmos but when he wrote this letter to the 7 churches of the province of Asia [Rev 1:4] he was no longer on the Island of Potmos.

He wrote the visions he saw on a scroll

Revelation 1

• 11 which said: "Write on a scroll what you see and send it to the seven churches"
• 19 Write, therefore, what you have seen (12-18), what is now and what will happen later"

When he wrote this letter to the 7 churches he wrote the visions he saw and wrote on the scroll into this letter.

John was still still suffering, being persecuted that is, when he wrote the letter

Revelation 1:9 I, John, your brother and companion in the suffering and kingdom and patient endurance that are ours in Jesus,"

Paul had already said the power of the lawlessness was at work during the time he wrote his 2nd letter to the Thessalonians

2 Thessalonians 2:7 For the secret power of the lawlessness is already at work, but the one who holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken away

Revelation 9

• 1 The fifth angel sounded his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from the sky to the earth. The star was given the key to the shaft of the abyss. 
• 11 They had as king over them the angel of the Abyss, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek, Apollyon.

When he saw the visions and later wrote letter Satan was not yet taken away. Peter also said,
1 Peter 5

• 8 Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour 
• 9 Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers through out the world are undergoing the same kind of suffering. 

When John saw these visions on the Island of Potmos he saw a scroll sealed with 7 seals

Revelation 5

• 1 Then I saw in the right hand of him who sat on the throne a scroll with writing on both sides and sealed with seven seals. 

A mighty angel asked

• 2 "Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll? "

No one was Found worthy on heaven, earth and under the earth and John said on the letter he wept when nhe saw the vision

• 4 I wept and wept because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or look inside

Why did he weep? I conclude it was because Satan had to be taken away 2 Thessalonians 2:7 and God's kingdom would not come!

• 5 Then one of the elders said to me, " Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and it's seven seals. "

The 5th Seal

• 9 When he The Lamb opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained
• 10 They called out in a loud voice, " How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood? "
• 11 Then each of them was given a white robe, and they were told to wait a little longer, until the number of their fellow servants and brothers who were to be killed as they had been was completed. 
• 12 I watched as he opened the sixth seal The Lamb broke the 6th seal while in heaven and the next happens while he is still in heaven. There was great earthquake. The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole moon turned red,
• 13 and the stars in the sky fell to earth, as late figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind.
• 14 The sky receded like a scroll, rolling up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place. The Lamb did not descend from heaven to earth, he was still in heaven.
• 15 Then the kings of the earth, the princes, the generals, the rich, the mighty, and every slave and every free man hid in caves and among the rocks of mountains and the rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the face of him God who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb. 

We find here that they are afraid to see the face of God and afraid of the wrath of the Lamb.

• 17 For the great day of their wrath has come and who can stand?"

The day of God's wrath and the Lamb's wrath has come.

On the 5th seal the souls of the slain saints asked for the Lamb to avenge their blood Rev 6:10 Now on verse 17 The wrath of God and the Lamb has come. Then God sent his angels to seal his servants on their foreheads to save them from his wrath

Revelation 7

• 3 "Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees until we put a seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God"
• 4 Then I heard the number of those were sealed 144,000 from all the tribes of Israel. 

Then John saw a great multitude

• 9 After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands.

Verse 14 tells us who they are

• 14 And he said, " These are they who have come out of the great tribulation Remember Paul had already said this tribulation had already started 2 Thessalonians 2 :7 When John saw these visions was still during that time; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 
• 15 Therefore, " they are before the throne of God and serve him day and night in his temple; and he who sits on the throne will spread his tent over them,.
• 16 Never again will they hunger, never again will they thirst. The sun will not beat upon them, nor any scorching heat
• 17 For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd; he will lead them to springs of water. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."

God's wrath and the Lamb's wrath has not yet began until the 7th seal.

Revelation 8

• 1 When he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. 
• 2 And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and to them were given seven trumpets.
• 3 Another angel, who had a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense to offer, with the prayers of the saints, on the golden altar before the throne. 
• 4 The smoke of the incense, together with the prayers of the saints, went up before God from the angel's hand
• 5 Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and hurled it on the earth; and there came peals of thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning and an earthquake. 
• 6 Then the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared to sound them. 

God's wrath began
On the 5th trumpet Satan was finally taken away

Rev 9

• 1 The fifth angel sounded his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from the sky to the earth. The star was given the key to the shaft of the abyss. 
• 2 When he opened the abyss, smoke rose from it like the smoke from a gigantic furnace. The sun and sky were darkened by the smoke from the abyss. 
• 3 And out of the smoke locusts came down upon the earth and we're given power like that of scorpions of the earth. 
• 4 They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any plant or tree, but only those people who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads On the 6th seal God's angels sealed 144,000 people of Israel on their foreheads Rev 7:3-4
• 5 They were not given power to kill them, but only to torture them for five months. And the agony they suffered was like that of the sting of a scorpion when it strikes a man. 
• 6 During those days men will seek death those without God's seal, but will not find it; they will long to die, but death will elude them. 
• 11 They had as king over them the Angel of the Abyss, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek, Apollyon. 

The scroll was opened because all 7 seals were broken by the worthy Lamb. Out of the 7th seal came 7 angels with 7 trumpets. On the 5th trumpet Satan was taken away 2 Thessalonians 2:7.

John gave evidence that all seals were broken during his visions from the Island of Potmos on the 6th trumpet.

Rev 9

• 13 The sixth angel sounded his trumpet, and I heard a voice coming from the horns of the golden altar that is before God.
• 14 It voice from the horns before God said to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, "Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates. "
• 15 And the four angels from verse 14 who had been kept kept because that was a vision he had on the Island of Potmos and was now writing a letter to the 7 churches ready for this very hour and day and month and year The day he wrote this letter to the 7 churches were released on his vision to kill a third of mankind. 

On the Island of Potmos the 4 angels who were bound at the great river Euphrates were released to kill a 3rd of mankind on the very hour, day, month and year John wrote this letter of Revelation to the 7 churches of the province of Asia. While he was writing this letter the 4 angels kept ready to kill a 3rd of mankind. This means from the 1st seal to the 5th trumpet all has happened and what was happening when he wrote the letter was the 4 angels ready to kill a 3rd of mankind just like he saw on his vision on the island of Potmos.

Still on the 6th angel with the 6th trumpet, on Revelation 10 came a delay and John ate the open scroll.

• 6 and said the mighty angel on verse 1 "There will be no more delay! 
• 7 But in the days days to come When the seventh angel sound his trumpet, the mystery of God will be accomplished, just as he announced to his servants the prophets"
• 8 "Go ,take the scroll that lies open in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land "
• 10 I took the little scroll from the angel's hand and ate it. 

Satan will be set free from the abyss on Rev 11 :7 to kill the 2 witnesses after they have finished their testimony for 1260 days.

Revelation 11:7 Now when they have finished their testimony, the beast that come up from the abyss will attack them, and overpower and kill them.

Then finally the number will get completed Rev 6:11

Rev 11:15 The seventh angel sounded his trumpet,

Revelation 13

• 1 And I saw a beast coming out of the sea. He had 10 horns and 7 heads, with 10 crowns on his horns, and on each head a blasphemous name. 
• 4 Men worshiped the dragon because he had given authority to the beast, and they also worshiped the beast and asked, " Who is like the beast? " This beast from the sea is a false Messiah because he will be worshiped by the inhabitants of the earth
• 7 He was given power to make war against the saints and to conquer them. And he was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation. 
• 8 All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast - all whose names have not been written in the book of life belonging to the Lamb that was slain from the creation of the world. 

If anyone is to go into captivity, into captivity he will go. If anyone is to be killed with the sword he will be killed. This calls for patient endurance and faithfulness on the part of the saints.

• 11 Then I saw another beast, coming out of the earth. He had two horns like a lamb, but he spoke like a dragon. 
• 13 And he performed great and miraculous signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to earth in full view of men. He is a false prophet Rev 19:20 But the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who had performed the miraculous signs on his behalf.
• 14 Because of the signs he was given power to do on behalf of the first beast he deceived the inhabitants of the earth. He ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived. 
• 15 He was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that it could speak and cause all God's people/saints who refused to worship the image to be killed. 
• 16 He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, 
• 17 so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name.

Rev 13 finally completes the number of the saints that were to be killed on Rev 6:11

Rev 15:2 And I saw what looked like a sea of glass mixed with fire and , standing beside the sea, those who had been victorious over the beast and his image and over the number of his name. They held harps given them by God.

The 1,290 days to 1,335 days Already Fulfilled :Greece Empire

When Daniel had these prophecies it was during the Medo-Persia Empire.

Daniel 11

• 2 And now I Angel will tell you Daniel the truth: Behold, three more kings will arise in Persia Medo-Persia Empire Daniel 2, and the forth shall be far richer than them all, by his strength, through his riches, he shall stir up all against the real of Greece Daniel 2 Bronze. The 4th king of Persia was to introduce the Greece empire
• 3 Then a mighty king shall arise who shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his will. 
• 4 And when he has arise, his kingdom shall be broken up and divided toward the four Windsor heaven, but not among his posterity nor according to his dominion with which he ruled, for his kingdom shall be uprooted, even for others besides these.

After the battle between the king of the North and the king of the South [15-19] Another king in the place of the King of the North rised.

• 20 There shall arise in his place one who imposes taxes on the glorious kingdom, but within a few days he shall be destroyed, but not in anger or in battle. 

Then an evil king who has no right to be king will rise.

Then The Evil King That Set Up the AOD

• 21 And in his place shall arise a vile person, to whom they will not give the honor of royalty; but he shall come in peaceably, and seize the kingdom by intrigue. 
• 29 At the appointed time he shall return and go toward the South but it shall not be like the former or the latter. 
• 30 For ships from Cyprus shall come against him, therefore he shall be grieved and return in rage against the holy covenant, and do damage. So he shall return and show regard for those who forsake the holy covenant. 
• 31 And forces shall be mustered by him, and they shall defile the sanctuary fortress, then they shall take away the daily sacrifices are place there the abomination that causes desolation. 
• 32 Those who do wickedly the covenant he shall corrupt with flattery, but the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits. 
• 33 And those of the people who understand God's people shall instruct many, yet for many days they shall fall by sword and flame, by captivity and plundering. 
• 34 Now when they God's people fall die, they others shall join with them God's people by intrigue. 
• 35 And those of understanding God's people shall fall, to refine, them, purify them, and make them white, until the end of the end, because it is still for appointed time.
• 36 " Then the king shall do according to his own will he shall exalt and magnify himself above every god, shall speak blasphemies against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the wrath has been accomplished, for what has been determined shall be done. 
• 37 He shall regard neither the god of his fathers nor the desire of women, nor regard any god, for he shall exalt himself above them all.
• 38 But in their place he shall honor and god of fortress, and a god which his fathers did not know he shall honor with gold and silver, with precious stones and pleasant things
• 39 Thus he shall act against the strongest fortresses with a foreign god, which he shall acknowledge, and advance its glory, and he shall causes them to rule over many and divide, the land for gain.
• 40 "At the time of the end the king of South shall attack him, and the king of the North shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, horsemen, and with many ships and he shall enter countries, overwhelm them, and pass through. 
• 41 He shall also enter the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown, but these shall escape from his hand; Edom, Moab and the prominent people of Ammon. 
• 42 He shall stretch out his hand against the countries, and the land of Egypt shall not escape
• 43 He shall have power over the treasures of gold and silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt, also the Libyans and Ethiopians shall follow at his heel
• 44 But news from the east and North shall trouble him, therefore he shall go out with great fury to destroy and annihilate many. 
• 45 And he shall plant the tents of his palace between the seas and the glorious holy mountain, yet he shall come to his end die and no one will help him.

Daniel 12

• 1 At that time when he dies Michael, the great prince who protects your people, will arise. There will be time of distress tribulation such as has not happened from the beginning of the nations until then. But at that time tribulation your people everywhere whose name is found written in the book- will be delivered. 
• 2 Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake, some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt 1 Thessalonians 4 : 15-17. 
• 3 Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever. 
• 6 "How long will it be before these astonishing things are fulfilled?". 
• 7 "It will be for a time, times and a time 3 and half years. When the power of holy people has been finally broken, all these things will be completed." The power of the holy people has to be broken first then the 3 and half years will fulfilled all those events
• 9 Go your way, Daniel, because the words are rolled up and sealed until the time of the end
• 11 From the time that the daily sacrifice is abolished and the abomination that causes desolation is set up Daniel 11:31, there will be 1,290 days.
• 12 Blessed is the one who waits for and reaches the end of the 1,335 days. 
• 13 As for you Daniel, go your way till the end. You will rest die, and then at the end of the days you will rise Daniel 12:2-3 to receive your allotted inheritance. 

The Abomination That Causes Desolation

Mark 13

• 1 As he Jesus was leaving the temple, one of his disciples said to him, "Look, Teacher! What massive stones! What magnificent building! "
• 2 "Do you see all these great buildings?" replied Jesus. "Not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down."
• 3 As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John and Andrew asked him privately,
• 4 "Tell us, when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are all about to be fulfilled? "

Luke 21:20 You will see Jerusalem being surrounded by armies, you will know its desolation is near. Jesus said 1st they will see Jerusalem surrounded by armies. When they see this the it's desolation is near, not there yet, but near.

Mark 13:14 "When you see 'The abomination that causes desolation standing where it does not belong After seeing the armies surrounding Jerusalem the AOD will stand where it does not belong. Where?

Matthew 24:15 " So when you see standing in the holy place 'the abomination that causes desolation, spoken of through the prophet Daniel It will stand in the temple -let the reader understand- Mark 13:14 also revealed the importance of understanding this prophecy through Daniel

There's Daniel 9 the 70 weeks prophecy to restore Jerusalem and Daniel 11 the Greece empire. This AOD cannot be Daniel 11 due to these reasons

1 When Daniel had this prophecy it was during the Medo-Persia Empire with 3 more kings yet to come to rule the empire and the 4th king was to introduce the Greece empire Daniel 11:2 And now I (the angel) will tell you the truth: Behold, three more kings will arise in Persia, and the forth shall be far richer than them all, by his strength, through his riches, he shall stir up all against the real of Greece.

2 During the Greece empire : After the death of the King of the North [5-19] shall rise another king but will die shortly Daniel 11:20 " There shall arise in his place one who imposes taxes on the glorious kingdom, but within a few days he shall be destroyed, but not in ager or in battle.

Then in his place an invading evil king who has no right to be king Daniel 11:21 And his place shall arise a vile person, to whom they will not give the honor of royalty; but he shall come in peaceably, and size the kingdom by intrigue he set up the AOD Daniel 11:31 And forces shall be mustered by him, and they shall defile the sanctuary fortress, then they shall take away the daily sacrifices and offerings, and place the abomination that causes desolation. and exalt himself as God  Daniel 11:36 "Then the king shall do according to his own will he shall exalt himself as above every god, shall speak blasphemies against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the wrath has been accomplished, for what has been determined shall be done. then die Daniel 11:45 And he shall plant the tents of his palace between the seas and the glorious holy mountain, yet he shall come to his end, and no one will help him.

This prophecy Jesus was referring to is the one on Daniel 9 due to these reasons

1 Jerusalem was to be restored for 70 weeks Daniel 9:24 "Seventy weeks are decreed about your people and your holy city, to finish the transgression, to pu tan end to sin, and to atone for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal both vision and prophet, and to anoint a most holy place"

2 69 weeks passed before Christ was killed Daniel 9:25 Know therefore and understand that from the going out of the word to restore and build Jerusalem to the coming of an anointed one, a prince, there shall be seven weeks. Then for sixty-two weeks it shall be built again with squares and moat, but in a troubled time.

3 God's chosen leader was to be killed unjustly Daniel 9:26 And after the sixty-two weeks, an anointed one shall be cut off

4 An invading ruler was to make a covenant for 7 years and half that week stop sacrifices and offerings and set up the AOD Daniel 9:27 And he shall make a strong covenant with many for one week, and for half of the week he shall put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations shall come one who makes desolate, until the decreed end is poured out on the desolator.”

When Jesus Christ was talking the AOD he was not yet glorified on the cross killed for our sins.

1So they see armies surrounding Jerusalem
2 Know the desolation is near
3 See the AOD standing in the holy place
4 we understand which AOD Daniel spoke of.
5 When they see the AOD standing in the holy place it's their cue to flee to the mountains

Luke 21

• 21 Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those in the city get out, and let those in the country not enter the city
• 22 For this is the time of punishment in fulfilment of all that has been written. Written by who? When? For who? Why?

Matthew 24

• 17 Let no one on the roof of his house to go down to take anything out of the house
• 18 Let no one in the field go through to get his cloak
• 19 How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant woman and nursing mothers!
• 20 Pray that your flight will not take place in winter or on the Sabbath
• 21 For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now and never to be equaled again

Luke 21:24 They will fall by the sword and will be taken as prisoners to all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.

It's possible that this is referring to Hosea 9 But I don't know

Matthew 24

• 22 If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the elect those days will be shortened.
• 23 At that time if someone says to you 'Look here is the Christ!' or 'You're he is!' do not believe it
• 24 For false Christs and false prophets Both Christs and prophets was a plural "s" meaning it's not one Christ nor one prophet will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect- if possible Good news for the elect, Jesus said "if possible" so it's possible for the elect to not be deceived

25 See, I have told you ahead of time.

The 2nd Group Of The 144,000 Revelation 14,15 and 16

The 7th Trumpet of the 7th seal

After John saw the vision of the beast on Rev 13 he saw the Lamb and the 144,000 standing on Mount Zion. On Revelation 13 all saints die the only people left behind are the 2 beasts and all who has the mark of the beast. All saints killed

Revelation 14

• 1 Then I looked, and there before me was the Lamb, standing on Mount Zion, and with him 144,000 who had his name and his Father's name written on their foreheads. Who are they? Why are they having his name and his Father's name on their foreheads while all Saints are dead Rev13 in the service of the Lord Rev 14:13?
• 2 And I heard a sound from heaven (Since this sound came out of heaven this tells us that John, the Lamb and the 144,000 were on earth) like the roar of rushing waters and like a loud peal of thunder. The sound I heard was like that of harpists playing their harps.
• 3 And they (harpists) sang a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders. No one could learn the song (The harpists song from heaven) except the 144,000 (This tells us that the 144,000 who are standing on earth on Mount Zion with the Lamb did not know the song, but could learn it) who had been redeemed (bought or set free or purchased) from the earth. (The 144,000 are redeemed (bought or set free) from the earth that has a mark of the beast. They are set free from its mark. They are redeemed from this mark to having the name of the Lamb and God in their foreheads.)
• 4 These are those who did not defile themselves with women (they are virgins), for they kept themselves pure. They follow the Lamb wherever he goes (since they are standing on Mount Zion on earth they follow the Lamb while on earth). They were purchased from among men and offered as firstfruits (the greek "aparché" the earliest crop of the year or sacrifice gift) to God and the Lamb.
• 5 No lie (Greek "pseudo" meaning not pretentious or false) was found in their mouths; they are blameless.

Do they end up seeing death or not? I don't know!


The Harvest Of The Earth

• 14 I looked, and there before me was a white cloud, and seated on the cloud was one "like the Son of Man" with him a crown of gold on his head (King of kings) and a sharp sickle in his hand.
• 15 then another angel came out of the temple and called in a loud voice to him sitting on the cloud, "Take your sickle and reap, because the time to reap has come, for the harvest of the earth is ripe."
• 16 So he who was seated on the cloud swung his sickle over the earth, and the earth was harvested (The 1st sharp sickle harvested the earth by Son of Man harvested)
• 17 Another angle came out of the temple in heaven, and he too had a sharp sickle. 
• 18 Still another angel, who had charge of the fire, came from the altar and called in a loud voice to him who had the sharp sickle, "Take your sharp sickle and gather the cluster of grapes from the earth's vine, because it's grapes are ripe."
• 19 The angel swung his sickle on the earth, gathered it's grapes and threw them into the great winepress of God's wrath (The 2nd sharp sickle gathered the grapes and threw them into the great winepress of God's wrath by an angel)
• 20 They were trampled in the winepress outside the city, and blood flowed out of the press, rising as high as the horses' bridle for a distance of 1,600 stadia. 

7 Angeles With The 7 Plagues
Revelation 15

• 1 I saw in heaven another great and marvelous sign: 7 angels with the last plagues-last because with them God's wrath is completed

On verses 2-4 the saints from Rev 13 are seen in heaven.

• 5 After this I looked and in heaven the temple, that is, the tabernacle of the Testimony, was opened.
• 6 Out of the temple came the 7 angels with the 7 plagues...
• 7 Then one of the 4 living creatures gave to the 7 angels 7 golden bowls filled with the wrath of God, who lives forever and ever. 

Punishment For Those With The Mark Of The Beast
Revelation 16

• 1 Then I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the 7 angles, "Go, pour out the 7 bowls of God's wrath on the earth"
• 2 The 1st angel went and poured out his bowl on the land, and ugly and painful sores broke out to the people who had the mark of the beast and worshiped his image. 
• 3 The 2nd angel poured out his bowl on the sea, and it turned into blood like that of a dead man, and every living thing in the sea died. 
• 4 The 3rd angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and springs of water, and they became blood.
• 5 Then I heard the angel in charge of the waters say: "You are just in these judgements, you who are and who were, the Holy One, because you have so judged;
• 6 for they have shed the blood of our saints and prophets, and you have given them blood to drink as they deserve"
• 7 And I head the altar respond: "Yes, Lord God Almighty, true and just are your judgements."
• 8 The 4th angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and the sun was given power to scorch people with fire.
• 9 They were seared by the intense heat and they cursed the name of God, who had control over these plagues, but they refused to repent and glorify him.
• 10 The fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom was plunged into darkness. Men gnawed their tounges in agony
• 11 and cursed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, but they refused to repent of what they had done.
• 12 The 6th angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the East
• 13 Then I saw 3 evil spirits that looked like frogs; they came out of the dragon (1st evil spirit), out of the mouth of the beast ( 2nd evil spirit) and out of the mouth the false prophet (3rd evil spirit). 
• 14 They are spirits of demons performing miraculous signs, and they go out to the kings of the whole world, to gather them for the battle on the great day of God Almighty. (Rev19:11-20)
• 15 "Behold, I come like a thief! Blessed is he who stays awake and keeps his clothes with him, so that he many not go naked and be shamefully exposed. "
• 16 Then they gathered the kings together to the place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon
• 17 The 7th angel poured out his bowl into air, and out of the temple came a loud voice from the throne, saying, "It is done!"

Revelation 13 - The Great Tribulation

Revelation 14:13 I heard a voice from heaven saying, "Write down this: Happy are those who from now on die in the service of the Lord"

THE 7TH TRUMPET
After the dragon had fought with Michael and was banished from heaven and thrown on earth and the sea Revelation 12:7-9, and fought with the rest of the descendents of the woman 17 he stood bt the sea shore.

The 1st Beast- The False Messiah

Revelation 13

• 1 And the dragon stood on the shore of the sea. And I saw a beast coming out of the sea. He had 10 horns and 7 heads, with 10 crowns on his horns, and on each head a blasphemous name. 

The dragon: Revelation 12:9 The great dragon was hurled down- that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan who leads the while world astray

The beast from the sea: Revelation 17:11 The beast who once was, and now is not, is an eighth king. He belongs to the 7 heads and is going to his destruction.

10 horns with 10 crowns: Revelation 17:12 "The 10 horns you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but who for one hour will receive authority as kings along with the beast.

7 heads with a blasphemous name: Revelation 17:10 They are also 7 kings. Five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come, but when he does he does come, he must remain for a little while.

• 2 The beast I saw resembled a leopard, but had fret like those of a bear and a mouth like that of a lion. The dragon gave the beast his power and his throne and great authority. 
• 3 One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed. The whole world was astonished and followed the beast
• 4 Men worshiped the dragon because he had given authority to the beast, and they also worshiped the beast and asked, "Who is like the beast? Who can make war against him?"

This means the beast will be a false Messiah and will be worshiped by the people of the earth.

• 5 The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise his authority for 42 months
• 6 He opened his mouth to blaspheme God and to slander his name and his dwelling place and those who live in heaven. 
• 7 He was given power to make war against the saints and to conquer them. And he was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation (the beast who is a false prophet will bengiven us the rest of the world)
• 8 All the inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast (the 8th king who is a false Messiah)- all whose names have not been written in the book of life belonging to the Lamb that was slain from the creation of the world
• 9 He who has an ear, let him hear
• 10 If anyone is to go into captivity, into captivity he will go. If anyone is to killed with the sword with the sword he will be killed. This calls for patient endurance and faithfulness on the part of the saints. 

The 2nd Beast- The False Prophet

• 11 Then I saw another beast, coming out of the earth. He had two horns like a lamb, but he spoke like a dragon
• 12 He exercised all the authority of the first beast on his behalf, and made the earth and all the inhabitants worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed. 
• 13 And he performed great and miraculous signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to earth in full view of men

This 2nd beast is a false prophet

Revelation 19: 20 But the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who had performed the miraculous signs on his behalf. With these signs he had deluded those who had received the mark of the beast and worshiped his image.

• 14 Because of the signs he was given power to do on behalf of the first beast, he deceived the inhabitants of the earth. He ordered them tons et up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived. 
• 15 He was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast (the false Messiah), so that it could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed. 
• 16 He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, 
• 17 so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark which is the the name of the beast (the false Messiah) or the number of his name
• 18 This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number. His number is 666. 

Revelation 10 And Why The Delay

The 6th Trumpet

Revelation 10

• 1 Then in saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven. He was robed in a cloud, with a rainbow above his head, his face was like the sun, and his legs were like fiery pillars
• 2 He was holding a little scroll (The scroll from Revelation 5:1 Then I saw in the right hand of him who sat on the throne a scroll with writing on both sides and sealed with seven seals), which lay open in his hand

The Lamb was found worthy of breaking the 7 seals and open the scroll Revelation 5

• 2 And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming in a loud voice, "Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll? "
• 3 But no one in heaven or on the earth or under the earth could open the scroll or even look inside it.
• 4 I wept and wept because no one was worthy to open the scroll or look inside it
• 5 Then one of the elders said to me, "Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and it's seven seals
• 6 Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, standing in the center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures and elders

• 3 and he gave a loud shout like the roar of a lion. When he shouted, the voices of the 7 thunders spoke
• 4 And when the 7 thunders spoke, I was about to write, but I heard a voice from heaven say, "Seal up what the 7 thunders have said and do not write it down"
• 5 Then the angel I had seen standing on the sea and on the land raised his right hand to heaven.
• 6 and he swore by him who lives forever and ever, who created the heavens and all that is in them, the earth and all that is in it, and the sea and all that is in it, and said "There will be no more delay!"
• 7 But in the days when the seven angel is about to sound his trumpet (before Revelation 11:15 The seventh angel sounded his trumpet ), the mystery of God will be accomplished (Revelation 11:1-14 The 2 witnesses and Satan), just as he announced to his servants the prophets
• 8 Then the voice that I had heard from heaven spoke to me once more: "Go, take the scroll that lies open in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land"
• 9 So I went to the angel and asked him to give me the little scroll. He said to me, "Take it and eat it. It will turn your stomach sour, but in your mouth it will be as sweet as honey."
• 10 I took the little scroll from the angel's hand and ate it. It tasted sweet as honey in my mouth, but when I had eaten it, my stomach turned sour.
• 11 Then I was told, "You must prophesy again about many people, nations, languages and kings."

WHY THE DELAY? 

2 Peter 3

• 3 First of all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. 
• 4 They will say, "Where is this 'coming' he promised? Ever since our fathers died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation"

1 Timothy 4

• 1 The Spirit Cleary says that in the later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons
• 2 Such teaching came through hypocritical lairs, whose consciences have been scared as with hot iron
• 3 They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and who know the truth. 

Joel 2

• 28 "Afterwards I will pour out my Spirit on everyone: your sons and daughters will proclaim my message, your old people will have dreams, and your young people will see visions
• 29 At that time I will pour out my Spirit even on my servants, both men and women

2 Timothy 3

• 1 But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days
• 2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 
• 3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of good,
• 4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God-
• 5 havings a form of godliness but denying it's power. Have nothing to do with them
• 6 They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over weak-willed woman, who are looked down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires
• 7 always learning but never able to acknowledge the truth

2 Timothy 4

• 3 For the time will come when men will not put up sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their ears, want to heat
• 4 They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. 

Mark 16

• 17 Believers will be given the power to perform miracles: they will drive out demons in my name, they will speak in strange tounges
• 18 if they pick up snake's or drink any poison, they will not be harmed, they will place their hands on sick people, who will get well. 

2 Thessalonians 2:1-12

2 Thessalonians

• 1 Now brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together with Him,

1 Thessalonians 4 

• 15 According to the Lord's own word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left till the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep
• 16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first?
• 17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. 

• 1 we ask you,
• 2 not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come
• 3 Let no one deceive you by any means, m for that day (1 Thessalonians 4 :15-17) will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin (Revelation 13:1 And I saw a beast coming out of the sea) is revealed, the son of perdition
• 4 Who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God
• 5 Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you all these things?
• 6 And now you not what is restraining (Revelation 9:1 The fifth angel sounded his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from the sky to the earth. The star was given the key to the shaft of the abyss.), that he may be revealed in his own time (Revelation 13).
• 7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work and He who now restains will do so until he is taken away (Revelation 9).
• 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed (Revelation 13), who the Lord will consume with his breath of his mouth and destroy with brightness of his coming 

Revelation 19:20 But the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who had performed the miraculous signs on his behalf. With these signs he had deluded tho had received the mark of the beast and worshiped his image. The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulphur. 

• 9 The coming of the lawless one (Revelation 13) is according to the working of Satan (Revelation 13:2 The dragon gave the beast his power and his throne and great authority ), with all the power, signs and lying wonders 

Revelation 13

• 11 Then I saw another beast, coming out of the earth. He had two horns like lamb, but he spoke like a dragon. 
• 13 And he performed great and miraculous signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to earth in full view of men.

• 10 And will all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not love the truth, that they might be saved 
• 11 All for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe lie
• 12 That they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness

The 2 Groups Of Saints Tribulation

The 1st Group Of The Tribulation Saints

The book of Revelation was written during the time when christians were beign persecuted because of their faith Christ Jesus. When John saw all these visions he was putted on the Island of Potmos Revelation 1:9

Remember Paul said "For the secret power of the lawlessness is already at work, but the one who holds it back will continue to do so until he is taken away" 2 Thessalonians 2:7

Revelation 6

• 9 When he (the Lamb) opened the 5th seal, I (John) saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and testimony they had maintained. 
• 10 They called out in a loud voice, "How long, Sovereign Lord, Holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood? "
• 11 Then each of them was given a white robe and they were told to wait a little longer, until the number of their fellow servants and brothers who were to be killed as they had been was completed
• 12 I watched as he opened the 6th seal

On the 6th seal there is the 1st group of the 144,000 on Revelation 7 of Israel. They are sealed on the 6th seal with the name of God

Revelation 7:3-4. They were sealed so that they would not get harmed by the locusts of Satan on the 5th trumpet on Revelation 9. Then John saw a great multitude in white robes.

Revelation 7

• 9 After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, m from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands

On the 5th seal they were seen under the altar and given robes to wait a little longer for the rest of the saints to be killed like them are all killed.

On the 6th seal they are standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb and are wearing white robes. They were also holding palm branches

• 10 And they cried in a loud voice: "Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne and to the Lamb." 
• 13 Then one of the elders asked me, "These in white robes-who are they, and where did they come from?"
• 14 I answered, "Sir, you know" And he said,"These are they who have come out of the great tribulation, they had washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 
• 15 Therefore, "they are before the throne of God and serve him say and night in his temple, and he who sits on the throne will spread his Tent over them
• 16 Never again will they hunger, never again will they thirst. The sun will not beat upon them, nor any scorching heat
• 17 For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd, he will lead then to spring of living water. And God will wipe away every tears from their eyes."

The 7th Seal
Revelation 8

• 1 When he opened the 7th seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour
• 2 And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and to them were given seven trumpets
• 3 Another angel, who had a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense to offer, with the prayers of all the saints, on the golden altar before the throne
• 4 The smoke of the incense, together with the prayers of the saints, went up before God from the angel's hand. 
• 5 Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and hurled it on the earth, and there came peals of thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning and an earthquake.

Then the 7 angels who had the 7 trumpets prepared to sound them.
After the 7 Trumpets were sounded there was harvest on the earth preparing the 7 last plagues that completes God's wrath.

The Second Group Of Tribulation Saints

Revelation 15

• 1 I saw in heaven another great and marvelous sign: 7 angels with the 7 last Plagues last because with them God's wrath is completed.
• 2 And I was what looked like a sea of glass mixed with fire, and standing besides the sea, those who had been victorious over the beast and his image and over the number of his image (Revelation 13). They held harps given them by God. 
• 3 and sang the song of Moses the servant of God and the song of the Lamb: "Great and marvelous are your deeds, Lord God Almighty. Just and true are your ways, King of the ages
• 4 Who will not fear you, O Lord, and bring glory to your name? For you alone are holy. All nations will come and worship before you, for your righteous acts have been revealed. 

After the 7 plagues on those who had the mark of the beast (Revelation 16), the beast and it's false prophet got thrown alive in the lake of sulphur (Revelation 19:20). Then Satan got bound with heavy chain for a thousand years in the abyss (Revelation 20:1-3)

Revelation 20

• 4 I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony for Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshipped the beast or its image and had not received his mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years
• 5 (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended) This is the first resurrection.
• 6 Blessed and Holy are those who have part in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and Christ and will reign with him for a thousand years. 

The 2 Witnesses And Satan out of the abyss

After Satan was given the key to the abyss and the first woe Revelation 9 which was on the 5th trumpet which has passed, soon the delay on Revelation 10 will be over and Satan will be let out of the abyss for the Great Tribulation on Revelation 11 on the 6th trumpet, then on the 7th trumpet 12, and 13. Let's look at Rev 11

The 6th Trumpet

Revelation 11

• 1 I (John) was given a reed like a measuring rod and was told "Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, and count the worshippers there
• 2 But exclude the outer corner, do not measure it, because it has been given to the Gentiles. They will trample on the Holy City (Jerusalem) for 42 months
• 3 And I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1260 days, clothed in sack cloth. 

The Gentiles are given 42 months to trample in Jerusalem while that happens God's two witnesses will prophesy for 42 months. All this will be in 3 and half years.

• 4 These are two olive trees and the two lampstands that stands before the Lord of the earth

Zechariah 4

• 2 He (the angel) asked me, "What do you see?" I answered, "I see a solid gold lampstand with a bowl at the top and seven lamps on it, with seven channels to the lamps
• 3 Also there are two olive trees by it, one on the right of bowl and the other on the left 
• 11 Then I asked the angel, "What are these two olive trees othe right and the left lampstand?
• 12 Again I asked him, "What are these two olive branches beside the two gold pipes that pour out golden oil
• 13 He replied, " Do you not know what these are?" "No, my lord?" I said.
• 14 So he said, "These are the two (men) who are anointed to serve the Lord of the earth. 

TEV Bible- "Then he said, "These are two men whom God has chosen and anointed to serve him, the Lord of the whole earth.

Revelation 11

• 5 If anyone tries to harm them (the 2 witnesses), fire comes out of their mouth (a miracle) and devour their enemies. This is how anyone who wants to harm them must die
• 6 These men have power to shut up the sky so that it will not rain (2nd miracle) during the time they are prophesying; and they have power to turn the waters into blood (3rd miracle) and strike the earth with every kind of plagues as often as they want (their authority over the earth)

SATAN OUT OF THE ABYSS

• 7 Now when they have finished their testimony (when the 42 months of the Gentiles trampling Jerusalem and God's 2 witnesses prophesying for 1260 days are over), the beast that comes out of the abyss will attack them, and over power and kill them (the 2 witnesses)

Satan is referred to as the serpent of old Revelation 12:9 and 20:2
Rev 12:9 "The great dragon was hurled down - that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan.

On Genesis 3:1 he is a beast
"Now the serpent was more crafty than any other beast "ḥay·yaṯ
"חַיַּ֣ת beast of the field that the LORD God had made.

Revelation 11

• 8 Their bodies will lie in the street of the great city, which is figuratively called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified. 
• 9 For three and half days men from every people, tribe, language and nation will gaze on their bodies and refuse them buried
• 10 The inhabitants of the earth will gloat over them and will celebrate by sending each other gifts, because these two prophets had tormented those who live on the earth
• 11 But after the three and half days a breath of life from God entered them, and they stood on their feet, and terror struck those who saw them.
• 12 Then they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, "Come up here." And they went up to heaven in a cloud (like Christ Jesus), while their enemies looked. 
• 13 At that very hour there was a serve earthquake and a tenth of the city collapsed. Seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake and the survivors were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven. 
• 14 The second woe has passed, the third woe is coming soon.

This is why on Chapter 10:6 there is a delay: The angel said there won't be any more delay

This is because on the first woe which is on the 5th trumpet Satan is prisoned in the abyss then on the 6th trumpet Satan is out of the abyss. The delay is there for other prophecies to come true e.g 1 Timothy 4

After this the 7th trumpet will sound with the last woe on Rev 12 to 13

The First Group Of The 144,000 And When Satan Was First Prisoned

On Revelation 6 the Lamb John 1:29 The next day John saw Jesus coming to him, and said, " There is the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! Opened the seals. When he reached the 6th seal, on Chapter 7 we find 144,000 people of Israel sealed.

REVELATION 7 THE 144,000 SEALED: on the 6th seal

• 1 After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the for winds of the earth to prevent any wind from blowing on the land or on the sea or any tree. 

Why were the 4 angels prevening wind from blowing on the earth,to the land, sea and tree?

• 2 Then I saw another angel coming up from the east, having the seal of the living God. He called out in a loud voice to the four angles who had been given power to harm the land and the sea:

The 4 angles prevented any wind blowing to the land and sea to harm it. Why?

• 3 "Do not harm the land or then sea or the trees until we put a seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God."
• 4 Then I heard the number of those who were sealed: 144,000 from all the tribes of Israel. 
• 5 From the tribe of Judah 12,000 were sealed, from the tribe of Reuben 12,000, from the tribe of Gad 12,000, 
• 6 from the tribe of Asher 12,000, from the tribe of Naphtali 12,000, from the tribe of Manasseh 12,000, 
• 7 from the tribe of Simeon 12,000, from the tribe of Levi 12,000, from the tribe of Issachar 12,000, 
• 8 from the tribe of Zebulun 12,000, from the tribe of Joseph 12,000, from the tribe of Benjamin 12,000. 

THE LAMB OPENED THE 7th SEAL

Revelation 8

• 1 When he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. 
• 2 And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and to them were given seven trumpets.

When the 3rd angel sounded his trumpet Satan fell. He is referred to as a great star

• 6 Then the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared to sound them. 
• 10 The third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water-

When the 5th angel sounded his trumpet Satan was given the key to his prison the abyss for the 1st woe

Revelation 9

• 1 The fifth angel sounded his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from the sky to the earth. The star was given the key to the shaft of the abyss.
• 2 When he opened the abyss, smoke rose from it like the smoke from a gigantic furnace. The sun and the sky were darkened by the smoke from the abyss. 
• 3 And out of the smoke locusts came down upon the earth and we're given power like that of scorpions of the earth. 
• 4 They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any plant or tree, but only those people who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads. 

This is where the 144,000 sealed from Revelation 7 appear. They are not mentioned by number or by Israel but by the mention of "God's seal on their foreheads. "

• 5 They were not given power to kill them, but only to torture them ( those without God's seal) for five months. And the agony they suffered was like that of the sting of a scorpion when it strikes a man.
• 6 During those days men will seek death, but will not find it; they (without God's seal) will long to die, but death will elude them.
• 7 The locusts looked like horses prepared for battle. On their heads they wore something like crown of gold, and their faces resembled human faces. 
• 8 Their hair was like women's hair and their teeth were like lions' teeth.
• 9 They had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the thundering of many horses and chariots rushing into battle. 
• 10 They had tails and stings like scorpions, and in their tails they had power to torment people for five months
• 11 They had as king over them the Angel of the Abyss, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek, Apollyon. 
• 12 The first woe is past; two other woes are yet to come.

The 1st group of the 144,000 ON Revelation 7 sealed with God's seal or name on their foreheads For the 1st woe on the 5th trumpet, when Satan was prisoned in the abyss Revelation 9. This 1st group of the 144,000 are different from the 2nd group on Revelation 14 who are sealed with the name of the Lamb and God and are on the 7th trumpet. .

In Tithing Is A Mistery

I've always wanted to give a tenth while I still had a job but somewhere somehow in heaven I was never allowed to tithe. Even now while waiting patiently on the Lord to provide I had a desire to tithe. But where I was to tithe was not ideal for i was questioning the Bishop on the inside! So I rather asked from within, if it would be okay if I were to give my tithe to his people who are poor! And this is what was revealed to me.

ABRAM (Abraham), MELCHIZEDEK AND TITHING
Genesis 14 TEV Bible

• 18 And Melchizedek, who was king of Salem and also priest of the Most High God, brought bread and wine to Abram

1 Melchizedek was king of Salem
2A priest of the Most High God
3He brought bread and wine to Abram.

Interesting our High Priest today is our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ in the order of Melchizedek. Bread is his body and wine his blood.

Hebrews 6:20 On our behalf Jesus has gone before us, and has become a high priest for ever in the priestly order of Melchizedek.

Matthew 26

• 26 While they were eating, Jesus took a piece of bread, gave a prayer of thanks, broke it, and gave it to his disciples. " Take and eat it, " He said, "this is my body."
• 27 Then he took a cup, gave thanks to God, and gave it to them. "Drink it, all of you," he said ,
• 28 "this is my blood, which seals God's covenant, my blood poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
• 29 I tell you, I will never again drink this wine until the day I drink the new wine with you in my Father's Kingdom. "
• 
  

Genesis 14

• 19 blessed him, and said, "May the Most High God, who made heaven and earth bless Abram!
• 20 May the Most High God, who gave you victory over your enemies, be praised. And Abram gave Melchizedek a tenth of all the loot he had recovered. 

1 When Melchizedek blessed Abram he revealed that the Most High God blessed Abram by giving him victory over his enemies, and then Abram took with him a loot of all he had recoverd over his victory.
2 This priest Melchizedek blessed Abram and asked the Most High God to bless Abram, again!
3 Abram took a tenth of all the loot he had recoverd from his victory that the Most High God blessed him with over his enemies and gave it to Melchizedek the priest of the Most High God.
4 So Abram was rich on his loot he had recovered and Melchizedek the priest of the Most High God collected the tenth from Abram.

OUR HIGH PRIEST IS NOT HERE TO COLLECT A TITHE
Here is the thing our high priest our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ is in heaven sitting on the right hand of the living God.

Hebrews 8:1 The whole point of what we are saying is that we have such a High Priest, who sits at the right of the throne of the Divine Majesty in heaven.

Our high priest is not here on earth and is not collecting any tithe of someone who is rich. He won't come back until all prophecies come true. The 70 weeks of restoration of Jerusalem which will be completed after the first raising of the dead. Find out more ☞ The Famous 70 Weeks of Daniel 9 prophecy.

The First raising will take place when the first Thousand years of Satan bound in chains in the abyss are over and the two beast and 666 (which is a number to not be scared of since the devil stole it) will show its true colours. Find out more ☞ The Thousand Years. After that he still won't be here until the second thousand years are over and Satan will be set free a last time then Jesus will come like a thief.

WAIT AND SEE AFTER THE FIRST RAISING OF THE DEAD
We gona have to wait and see if tithing will take place again after the first raising of the dead because of what the bible says about reigning with Christ Jesus as his priest

Revelation 20

• 4 Then I saw thrones, and those who sat on them were given the power to judge. I also saw the souls of those who had been executed because they had proclaimed the truth that Jesus revealed and the word of God. They had not worshipped the beast or its image, nor had they received the mark of the beast on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and ruled as kings with Christ for a thousand years. 
• 5 (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were over.) This is the first raising of the dead. 
• 6 Happy and greatly blessed are those who are included in this first raising of the dead. The second death has no power over them; they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and they will rule with him for a thousand years. 

TITHING WAS FOR THE RICH EVEN IN THE LAW.
Leviticus 27

• 30 One-tenth of all the produce of the land, whether grain or fruit, belongs to the LORD
• 31 If a man wishes to buy any of it back, he must pay the standard price plus an additional twenty percent
• 32 One out of every ten domestic animals belongs to the LORD. When the animals are counted, every tenth one belongs to the LORD. 
• 34 These are the commands that the LORD gave Moses on Mount Sinai for the people of Israel. 

HEBREW WORD FOR TITHE
The Hebrew word for tithe is maaserמַעֲשֵׂר meaning tenth, maaser comes from the word aser עֲשֵׂר meaning rich.

Why tithe then when the High Priest our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ is in heaven and is not collecting the tithe? Why should those who are not rich but work to receive payment should tithe? No wonder he never allowed me to tithe! He now just answered me why because I've always been confused why not! This is why!

Speaking of people who work to receive money

Mark 12

• 41 As Jesus sat near the temple treasury, he watched the people as they dropped in a lot of money

We learn from Genesis 14:20 and Leviticus 27:30-32 that it's those who are rich blessed by God who give tithe and the Hebrew word maaser agrees with the scripture. We should note the following

1 Jesus was not yet glorified on the cross
2 People still lived by what the Law of Moses required
3 People were living by Malachi 3:10 Bring the full amount of your tithes to the Temple, so that there would be food there. Put me to the test and you will see that I will open the windows of heaven and pour out on you in abundance all kinds of good things.
4 These men were rich and tithing their money. This means they bought back their produce and paid the standard price and added twenty percent on top as the Law requires, this money was a 12% tithe.

Mark 12:42 then a poor widow came along and dropped in two little copper coins, worth a penny.

Note again
1 A poor widow, not rich so she could not tithe, But
2 She drooped two copper coins worth a penny. This is not a tithe according to the Law of Moses nor according to Genesis 14:20! So what did she do then?! She GAVE to the treasury Temple 2 copper coins, not tithe but GAVE.

Mark 12

• 43 He called his disciples together and said to them, "I tell you that this poor widow put more offering box than others.
• 44 For others put in what they had to spare of their riches, but she, poor as she is, put in all she had- She gave all she had to live on." 

Jesus said she GAVE by offering and that she putted more offering to the box. Why is that?

Let me put it simple. Those men were first blessed by Father God with wealth, so they were putting what Father God had already blessed them with, in this case 12 percent for it was money. But she, not blessed but poor and a widow gave out of all she had to live on. That's why she putted more that all those men.

JESUS SUPPORTED GIVING
Jesus and his disciples could have not tithe for Jesus lived a poor life and his disciples left everything and filled him. But they supported giving like the poor widow.

John 13:29 Since Judas was in charge of their money bag, some of the disciples thought that Jesus had told him to go and but what they need for the festival, or give something to the poor.

Luke11:41 But give what is in your cup and plate to the poor, and everything will be ritually clean for you.

This giving was carried through out

Romans 15:26 For the churches in Macedonia and Achaia have freely decided to give an offering to help the poor among God's people in Jerusalem.

Since we already here let's look at Pastors, Bishops, preachers, leaders and teachers

Matthew 10

• 7 Go and preach, 'The Kingdom of heaven is near!'
• 8 Heal the sick, bring back the dead to life, heal those who suffer from dread skin-diseases, and drive out demons. You have received without paying, so give without being paid.
• 9 Do not carry any gold, silver, or copper money in your pockets
• 10 do not carry beggar's bag for the journey or an extra shirt or shoes or a stick. Workers should be given what they need.

What Did Jesus Mean When He Said "I am Thirsty" ?

WHAT DID JESUS MEAN WHEN HE SAID "I AM THIRSTY"
NIV Bible
John 19

• 28 Later knowing that all was now completed, and so that the scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, "I am thirsty."
• 29 A jar of wine vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a stalk of the hyssop plant, and lifted it to Jesus' lips.
• 30 When he had received the drink, Jesus said, "It is finished"

This all goes back to the 10 Commandments on Mount Sinai

TEV Bible
Exodus 19:20 The LORD came down on the top of Mount Sinai and called Moses to the top of the mountain. Moses went up

Exodus 20

• 1 God spoke, and these were his words
• 2 "I am the LORD your God who brought you out of Egypt, where you were slaves
• 5 Do not bow down to any idol or worship it, because I am the LORD your God and I tolerate no rivals. I bring punishment on those who hate me and on their descendents down to the 3rd and 4th generation

This is a generational curse. Children were to suffer the punishment of their parent's sins and their forefather's sins.

THE PROVERB IN THE LAND OF ISRAEL
Ezekiel 18

• 1 The LORD spoke to me 
• 2 and said, "What is this proverb people keep repeating in the land of Israel? 'The parents ate the sour grapes, But the children got the sour taste.'
• 3 "As surely as I am the living God," says the Sovereign LORD, "You will not repeat this proverb In Israel any more.
• 4 The life of every person belongs to me, the life of the parent as well as that of the child. The person who sins is the one who will die.

Every life belongs to the LORD
Revelation 13:8 All people living on earth will worship it, except those whose names were written before the creation of the world in the book of the living which belongs to the Lamb that was killed.

John 1:29 The next day John saw Jesus coming to him, and said, "There is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!

Colossians 1:16 God created the whole universe through him and for him.

Ezekiel 18

• 19 "But you ask: 'Why shouldn't the son suffer because of his father's sins?'

This tells me the parents wanted to sin and get away with it. They didn't care about their children and didn't love them. To me they were selfish with self .

Ephesians 2

• 1 In the past you were spiritually dead because of your disobedience and sins. 
• 2 At that time you followed the world's evil way; you obeyed the ruler of the spiritual powers in space, the spirit who disobey God. 
• 3 Actually all of us were like them and lived according to our natural desires, doing whatever suited the wishes of our own bodies and minds. 

Ezekiel 18

• 19 The answer is that the son did what was right and good. He kept my laws and followed them carefully, and so he will certainly live.
• 20 It is the one who sins who will die. A son is not to suffer because of his father's sins, nor a father because of his son. A good person will be rewarded for doing good, and an evil person will suffer for the evil he does. 
• 30 "Now I, the Sovereign LORD, am telling you Israelites that I will judge each of you by what you have done. 

This means there will no longer be a generational curse.

THE REMOVAL OF THE GENERATIONAL CURSE ON THE NEW COVENANT
Jeremiah 31

• 29 When that time comes, people will no longer say 'The parents ate the sour grapes, But the children got the sour taste. 
• 30 Instead, all those who eat sour grapes will have their own teeth set on edge, and they will all die because of their own sin."
• 31 The LORD says, " The time is coming when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and with the people of Judah.
• 32 It will not be like the old covenant that I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand and led them out of Egypt. Although I was like a husband to them, they did not keep that covenant. 
• 33 The new covenant that I will make with the people of Israel will be this : I will put my law within them and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. 
• 34 None of them will have to teach his fellow-citizen to know the LORD, because all will know me, from the least to the greatest. I will forgive their sins and I will no longer remember their wrongs. I, the LORD, have spoken. "

The new covenant had the forgiveness of sins and the generational curse taken out of the 3rd law which is on

Exodus 20:5 Do not bow down to any idol or worship it, because I am the LORD your God and I tolerate no rivals. I bring punishment on those who hate me

No more punishment on their descendents down to the 3rd and 4th generation. Now the person who sin will die

Ezekiel 18:4 The person who sins is the one who will die.

THE FULFILMENT ON THE CROSS
When Jesus said "I am thirsty. " John 19:28 He thirsted for what he got, wine vinegar John 19:29 For he knew everything had been completed.

Wine is made of grape. Vinegar has a sour taste. When he received the drink the generational curse was removed from the 3rd law of the 10 commandments. No more children to suffer for their parents or and forefathers sins. And Jesus said "It is finished. " John 19:30

The Revelation Behind The Tree Of Knowledge Of Good And Evil

THE REVELATION BEHIND THE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL

Genesis 2

• 4 This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, when the LORD God made the earth and the heavens -NIV Bible
• 5 there were no plants on the earth and no seed had sprouted, because he had not sent rain, and there was no one to cultivate the land; -TEV Bible

Genesis 1:26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness," NIV

Colossians 1:15 Christ is the visible likeness of God." -TEV

Us and our is the Triune God, Elohim the creator: Eli (God), Logos (the Word) and Ru'ach (the Spirit).

HUMANS GIVEN POWER OVER ANIMALS BEFORE THEIR CREATION

Genesis 1:26 They will have power over fish, the birds, and all animals, domestic and wild, large and small-TEV

CREATION OF MAN

Genesis 2 TEV

• 7 Then the LORD God took some soil from the ground and formed a man out of it; he breathed life-giving breath into his nostrils and the man began to live.

GOD'S FIRST LAW- NIV Bible

• 8 Now the LORD God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden; and there he put the man he had formed.
• 9 The LORD God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground-trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
• 15 The LORD God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.
• 16 And the LORD God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden;
• 17 but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die.”

The LORD God warned because there was death on the tree of Knowledge of good and evil. And death was not their plan for humans. This shows the LORD God's love for people.

THE TRIUNE GOD'S PLAN BEFORE CREATION

Revelation 13:8 except those whose names were written before creation of the world in the book of the living which belongs to the Lamb that was killed. - TEV

The Lamb that was killed is our LORD and Saviour Jesus Christ, the Word that was crucified and died on the cross for our sins. Before creation he had a book of the living which belongs to him that has the names of his people that were to live.

Ephesians 1

• 4 Even before the world was made, God had already chosen us to be his through our union with Christ, so that we would be holy and without fault before him. Because of his love
• 5 God had already decided that through Jesus Christ he would make us his sons and daughters - this was his pleasure and purpose. 

Here we find that God was loving before creation, righteous and Holy
Find out more ☞The Triune God's Plan Before Creation

But why were the tree of life and the tree of Knowledge of good and evil that brings death created?

Genesis 2 NIV Bible

• 18 The LORD God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.”

Adam lived alone, no one, no animal with him created. The LORD had warned him from eating from the tree of Knowledge of good and evil that brings death while he lived alone.

CREATION OF ANIMALS BEFORE THE WOMAN -TEV Bible

• 19 So he took some soil from the ground and formed all the animals and the birds. Then he brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and that's how they all got their names
• 20 So the man named all the birds and all the animals; but not one of them was a Suitable companion to help him. 

Here we learn that Adam was not dump he had knowledge and was in union with the LORD, who is the Word, the Lamb our Saviour, Jesus Christ: Adam gave all animals their names.

THE CREATION OF THE WOMAN

• 21 Then the LORD God made the man fall into deep sleep, and while he was sleeping, he took out one of the man's ribs and closed up the flesh. 
• 22 He formed a woman out of the rib and brought her to him. 
• 23 Then the man said, "At last here is one of my own kind- Bone taken from my bone, and flesh from flesh. 'Woman' is her name because she was take out of the man."
• 25 The man and the woman were both naked, but they were not embarrassed. 

Adam was happy when he was brought the woman by the LORD God.

GOD BLESSED THE MAN AND WOMAN

Genesis 1 TEV Bible

• 27 So God created human beings, making them to be like himself. He created them male and female, 
• 28 blessed them, and said "Have many children, so that your descendents will live all over the earth and bring it under their control. I am putting you in charge of the fish, the birds, and all the wild animals
• 31 God looked at everything he had made, and was very pleased. Evening passed and morning came- that was the sixth day. 

The 6th day was on Friday and humans were created and finish the same day. Jesus Christ was crucified and died for our sins on Friday, for our new creation in union with him.

2 Corinthians 5:17 Anyone who is joined to Christ is a new being, the old is gone, the new has come.

HUMAN DISOBEDIENCE- SIN AND WHY?

There's still a question that's unanswered: "But why were the tree of life and the tree of Knowledge of good and evil that brings death created?" This is a good question especially when we know we were planned and loved before creation!

Genesis 3

• 1 Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?”

This serpent spoke a human language!
This animal asked a question about eating from any tree in the garden!
This animal, a serpent asked the woman, not the man!
Where did this animal get this for this Law was given to Adam before animals and the woman created?
Why all this?

Revelation 12:9 The huge dragon was thrown out - that ancient serpent, called the Devil, or Satan that deceived the whole world-TEV

The serpent is the Devil, Satan and he asked the woman to deceive her!

1 Timothy 2

• 13 For Adam was created first, and then Eve.
• 14 And it was not Adam who was deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and broke God's law. -TEV

The serpent used the word "really"! Meaning indeed or truly. This means he has heard it before! But from whom and when?!

• 2 The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden,
• 3 but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’”

The woman knew what God said! "How?" I don't know! But I do know that the LORD God did not say anything about touching the tree!
I am concluding that she heard the Law from Adam not from the LORD God. But I DON'T KNOW!

• 4 “You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman.
• 5 “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

The serpent, who is Satan the Devil, made God to seem a liar, that they won't die!
Verse 5 tells us that good and evil existed somewhere! And the only way to know this good and evil was through eating from its tree! But the LORD God protected humans from eating from this tree by forbidding them from eating it. Why was this tree created?

• 6 When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it.

We find her husband was with her when the serpent deceived her.
She wanted wisdom. We find that there is God's wisdom for us before creation and this wisdom was for our glory! It comes from His Spirit as well as knowledge, not from the tree.

1 Corinthians 2:7 The wisdom I proclaim is God's hidden wisdom which he had already chosen for our glory even before the world was made. -TEV

1 Corinthians 12:8 The Spirit gives one person a message full of wisdom, while to another person the same Spirit gives a message full of knowledge. -TEV

If God chose before creation that we would have His wisdom for our glory and receive knowledge as a gift from His Spirit then this tree of knowledge of good and evil that brings death was not for us, humans.
The power that humans were given over animals was destroyed for a serpent is an animal!

• 7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.

Already their eyes were opened and they realized they were naked. So they used their hands to make out of leaves a covering. Now humans started to do things with their hands.

• 8 Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the LORD God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the LORD God among the trees of the garden. 
• 9 But the LORD God called to the man, “Where are you?”
• 10 He answered, “I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid.”
• 11 And he said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?”
• 12 The man said, “The woman you put here with me-she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.”
• 13 Then the LORD God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?” The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”

Both didn't take a responsibility! Adam blamed the LORD God and the woman. The woman blamed the serpent. This is foolish wisdom from the tree of knowledge of good and evil that brings death! Verse 13 shows that what the woman did was a disaster!

• 22 And the LORD God said, “The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.”

That's why the tree of life created, to live forever!  I am concluding that the tree of knowledge of good and evil that brings death was created for the Devil who is Satan, the serpent because he has sinned from the very beginning.


HUMAN FALL

• 23 So the LORD God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken. 
• 24 After he drove the man out, he placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life.

Proverbs 3:18 Those who become wise are happy; wisdom will give them life- TEV

That's not what the tree of knowledge of good and evil that brings death did!

NEW CREATION IN CHRIST JESUS

1 John 3:8 Whoever continues to sin belongs to the Devil, because the Devil has sinned from the very beginning. The Son of God appeared for this very reason, to destroy what the Devil had done.

John 2

• 18 The Jewish authorities replied with a question, "What miracle can you perform to show us that you have the right to do this?"
• 19 Jesus answered, "Tear down this Temple, and in three days I will build it again."
• 20 "Are you going to build it again in three days?" they asked him. "It has taken us fourty six years to build this temple!"
• 21 But the temple Jesus was speaking about was his body
• 22 So when he was raised from death, his disciples remembered that he had said this.

1 Peter 3:18 For Christ died for sins once and for all, a good man on behalf of sinners, in order to lead you to God.

On Friday the 6th day of creation humans were created and finish the same day. Jesus Christ was crucified and died for our sins on Friday, for our new creation in union with him.

2 Corinthians 5

• 17 Anyone who is joined to Christ is a new being, the old is gone, the new has come.
• 18 All this is done by God, who through Christ changed us from enemies into his friends and gave us the task of making others his friends also.
