Revelation 16, a dotted line
Dec. 12th, 2017 12:29 am
Then I heard a loud voice from the temple, saying to the seven angels, "Go and pour out on the earth the seven bowls of the wrath of God."
These bowls of anger will be poured out by the order sounded from the Temple, built according to the prophecy of Ezekiel.
So the first angel went and poured out his bowl on the earth; and it became a loathsome and malignant sore on the people who had the mark of the beast and who worshiped his image.
To have the mark of the beast on the head is to be a liar for the sake of one's own prosperity, to have the mark of the beast on the right hand means to be a thief (including a secret thief: a moneylender, "surplus value", etc.) To worship the image of the beast means to worship the Antichrist, the head of civilization, the head of this world.
The second angel poured out his bowl into the sea, and it became blood like that of a dead man; and every living thing in the sea died.
People who lived in a worldly way, but had some idea of God, had mutual love, feelings - will be completely cut off from God. The world is dead, has become like a soulless machine. This is not physical death, it is spiritual death: loss of good feelings and aspirations.
Then the third angel poured out his bowl into the rivers and the springs of waters; and they became blood.
Rivers can be religions, water sources are various doctrines of religions in which one could quench thirst before. All these "waters" have become disgusting for people.
And I heard the angel of the waters saying, " Righteous are You, who are and who were, O Holy One, because You judged these things;
for they poured out the blood of saints and prophets, and You have given them blood to drink. They deserve it."
Because the whole world, all states, all kingdoms, all religions, oppressed and killed the righteous and saints, then when the saints and the righteous separated from the rest of the world, there is no more sacrificial offering for the rest of the world. The righteous and saints were a sacrifice that supplemented the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, when they are saved in Israel, they will cease to save the nations from which they left.
And I heard the altar saying, "Yes, O Lord God, the Almighty, true and righteous are Your judgments."
The fourth angel poured out his bowl upon the sun, and it was given to it to scorch men with fire.
The truth became obvious, all the secret mechanisms of exploitation of people became visible, all deceptions were revealed.
Men were scorched with fierce heat; and they blasphemed the name of God who has the power over these plagues, and they did not repent so as to give Him glory.
The name of God is: ISRAEL. This is the name of the Messiah in the Second Coming, this is the new name of Jesus Christ (after the consecration of the Third Temple). Those who blaspheme Israel will thereby blaspheme the Name of God!
Then the fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom became darkened; and they gnawed their tongues because of pain,
The name of the beast is Prosperity, the head of the beast is the US, what is the "throne of the beast"? The throne of the beast is the elevation above people of the idea of general prosperity. In the modern world, prosperity is given to people not from God, but from the development of civilization based on the sin of Adam. When the world realized that prosperity can not give people inner joy, love, peace - this idea collapsed and the kingdom of the Beast became gloomy.
and they blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores; and they did not repent of their deeds.
And where should they go now, with their diplomas and social status?
The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river, the Euphrates; and its water was dried up, so that the way would be prepared for the kings from the east.
The river of Judaism dried up. Judaism recognized the Third Temple, built according to the prophesy of Ezekiel in the Judean Desert. The kings from the east are those who entered the Temple through the Eastern Gate about three years ago. This is the "lost tribes of Israel." Israel accepted them as their relatives, not only formally, but also in the hearts of the Jews.
And I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon and out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs;
for they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the whole world, to gather them together for the war of the great day of God, the Almighty.
("Behold, I am coming like a thief. Blessed is the one who stays awake and keeps his clothes, so that he will not walk about naked and men will not see his shame.")
And they gathered them together to the place which in Hebrew is called Har-Magedon.
Armageddon is not an ordinary war. This is a mutual struggle between the earthly leaders of religions, when they begin to blame each other for their mistakes. Everyone who has lost his share in the Kingdom of God will now attack others who took him to a false path.
Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl upon the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple from the throne, saying, " It is done."
And there were flashes of lightning and sounds and peals of thunder; and there was a great earthquake, such as there had not been since man came to be upon the earth, so great an earthquake was it, and so mighty.
The great city was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. Babylon the great was remembered before God, to give her the cup of the wine of His fierce wrath.
Here "the great city" is not Babylon, but Jerusalem. As in Revelation 21:10. From this moment, Jerusalem will be called the city of Jerusalem, and the Temple in the Judean Desert, and the city of Yahwe Shamah. "The cities of the nations fell" – the collapse of all denominations of the Christian religion.
And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.
The "island" is an area of some religious environment. "Mountains" are different spiritual teachings.
And huge hailstones, about one hundred pounds each, came down from heaven upon men; and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail, because its plague was extremely severe.
These assholes again screwed up in the NASB: "one hundred pounds".
And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, [every stone] about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great. (Revelation 16:21 - KJV)
What is "hailstones" and what is "talent" - think for yourself.
