9 Little book
Little book
Rev.10:2 He had in his hand a little book open. He set his right foot on the sea, and his left on the land.
Rev.10:3 He cried with a loud voice, as a lion roars. When he cried, the seven thunders uttered their voices.
† The sealed book is opened.[1] Revelation is opening because the time is near.
Dan.12:7 I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand to heaven, and swore by him who lives forever that it shall be for a time, times, and a half; and when they have made an end of breaking in pieces the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.
Dan.12:8 I heard, but I didn't understand: then said I, my lord, what shall be the issue of these things?
Dan.12:9 He said, Go your way, Daniel; for the words are shut up and sealed until the time of the end.
† The little book that is opened, was the word that had been commanded to be shut up and sealed until the time of the end. In other words, it means that the word will be opened in the last days. And the word of this last days that will be opened, is the word of 1 time times and a half, that is, the 1st half of the last1week, namely, the word of the last1week. The book of Revelation is mostly the word about events that will take place around the last1week. The prophecy in the book of Daniel which is written about events that will take place in the last1week, will also be opened near the last1week.
Rev.22:10 He said to me, "Don't seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is at hand.
Rev.22:11 He who acts unjustly, let him act unjustly still. He who is filthy, let him be filthy still. He who is righteous, let him do righteousness still. He who is holy, let him be holy still."
† From the time John received the word of Revelation, the end times are near.[2] It is the last time when our Lord Jesus came as Adam.[3] When our Lord Jesus began His ministry and died on the cross, the promised 69 weeks came to an end.[4] That is why, since then, there is only 1week, 7 years, left until the end of human history, so it is the very last time since then. However, because there is a blank period, human history extended for 2000 years. But now in 2019, the time for the beginning of the last1week is really near.[5]
Dan.12:10 Many shall purify themselves, and make themselves white, and be refined; but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand; but those who are wise shall understand.
† Around the last1week, the wicked who do wickedly and those who act unjustly will remain filthy without understanding. But the righteous and the just will be refined, understood, and purified.
Dan.12:11 From the time that the continual [burnt offering] shall be taken away, and the abomination that makes desolate set up, there shall be one thousand two hundred ninety days.
Dan.12:12 Blessed is he who waits, and comes to the one thousand three hundred thirty-five days.
† This is an event that will take place around the middle of the last1week.[6] It means that the time when the sealed prophecy is opened and fulfilled, is around the last1week. Therefore, after the 69 weeks are over, at least around the last1week when the blank period ends, the sealed word must be opened. The book of Revelation is the record about the last1week that John received after the 69 weeks were over.
Dan.12:13 But go you your way until the end be; for you shall rest, and shall stand in your lot, at the end of the days.
† For Daniel who had just received the prophecy for the 70 weeks, the word of the end of all things, the 3 times and a half, the 1st half of the last1week, that is, the word of the last1week, were a prophecy that would be fulfilled after a long time, after 69 weeks.[7]
Rev.10:5 The angel who I saw standing on the sea and on the land lifted up his right hand to the sky,
Rev.10:6 and swore by him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and the things that are in it, the earth and the things that are in it, and the sea and the things that are in it, that there will no longer be delay,
Rev.10:7 but in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, then the mystery of God is finished, as he declared to his servants, the prophets.
† For Daniel, it was a prophecy that would come true after a long time, but for John, it was a prophecy that would come soon. John was born about 600 years after Daniel, and 2019 is about 2000 years after John. The reason why the prophecy that would occur a long time later to Daniel 600 years before John, was the prophecy that would happen soon to John, even though the events did not happen until 2000 years passed, is because the bible looks at the time based on the prophecy of the 70 weeks. For Daniel, the 70 weeks had not yet even begun, but for John, 69 of 70 weeks had already passed.
† Just as the man clothed in linen who was above the waters of the river, held up his hands to heaven and swore by Him who lives forever, so the angel who are standing on the sea and on the land, lifts his right hand to the sky and swear by Him who lives forever and ever. The man clothed in linen is the one who is like the Son of man[8], symbolizing our Lord Jesus.[9] There are also depictions about the angel who are standing on the sea and on the land[10], reminiscent of our Lord Jesus.[11] Then, is the angel who are standing on the sea and on the land our Lord Jesus? Our Lord Jesus is now seated on the true throne in His resurrected body.[12] Since it is written that when we are resurrected we become like an angel[13], so it is possible that this mighty angel is our Lord Jesus[14], but that does not necessarily mean that this mighty angel is our Lord Jesus.[15] Although the angel clothed in linen appeared to represent our Lord Jesus[16], the mighty angel might have been just an angel sent by our Lord Jesus.[17] Also, just as the angel clothed in linen appeared to represent our Lord Jesus, our Lord Jesus Himself might have revealed Himself as the mighty angel. The voice from heaven expresses the angel who are standing on the sea and on the land, as an 'angel'. Since our Lord Jesus wore a resurrected body and became like an angel, it cannot be concluded that this expression 'angel' necessarily refers to a creature. Just because a mighty angel swears to heaven, it does not mean that the mighty angel is not our Lord Jesus. Because it can be seen as the scene where our Lord Jesus swore to God the Father. However, as long as the expression is the 'angel', it may actually be just an angel. Even if the Creator came as Adam, He is not Adam[18], so even if the Creator became like an angel, He is not an angel.[19] Since it is not certain, it would be better not to be over-determined. The word 'mighty angel', is recorded in Revelation 5 in the same Greek as 'Angelos Iskhooros'.[20]
Rev.10:8 The voice which I heard from heaven, again speaking with me, said, "Go, take the book which is open in the hand of the angel who stands on the sea and on the land."
Rev.10:9 I went to the angel, telling him to give me the little book. He said to me, "Take it, and eat it up. It will make your belly bitter, but in your mouth it will be as sweet as honey."
Rev.10:10 I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up. It was as sweet as honey in my mouth. When I had eaten it, my belly was made bitter.
Rev.10:11 They told me, "You must prophesy again over many peoples, nations, languages, and kings."
† Those who eat the little book that is opened will prophesy again. Those who eat the word of the end times will prophesy again. Those who understand the word of the last1week, will prophesy again in the last1week. Of course, these may be those who have not only understood, but are also worthy of prophesying again.[21] The little book is a record of what will happen in the last1week. The book of Revelation is written about the events of the last1week. The record of the end of all that was commanded to be sealed to Daniel is unfolded through the book of Revelation.[22] Therefore, those who understand the book of Revelation in which the events that will take place in the last1week are recorded, will prophesy again in the last1week. 2000 years ago, John was told that he had to eat the little book and prophesy again. However, the prophesying by eating the little book in which the events of the last1week are recorded, will be fulfilled only in the last1week. John set the example of the 2 witnesses who eat the little book and prophesy again during the last1week. The saints who realized the word of Revelation, prophesy again during the last1week, were expressed by the 2 witnesses prophesying during 1260 days.[23] In the last1week, the beast will set up Babylon and enforce the mark of the beast so that the saints cannot worship God. Therefore, the message that will be prophesied in the 1st half of the last1week, just before the 1st resurrection, is the eternal gospel: 'Worship only God, come out of Babylon and do not receive the mark of the beast'.[24] Accordingly, it is thought that the little book means the book of Revelation, especially the eternal gospel.
Rev.11:1 A reed like a rod was given to me. Someone said, "Rise, and measure God's temple, and the altar, and those who worship in it.
Rev.11:2 Leave out the court which is outside of the temple, and don't measure it, for it has been given to the gentiles. They will tread the holy city under foot for forty-two months.
† God commands John to measure. John symbolizes the 2 witnesses, and I see the 2 witnesses as symbolizing the 144000 firstfruits who are sealed with God the Holy Spirit who comes even as the latter rain. The work of the 2 witnesses, that is, the 144000 firstfruits who have been entrusted the mission of the 2 witnesses, is measuring, namely, dividing. The measurement is made through prophecy of repentance of the 2 witnesses who are prophesying in sackcloth.[25] By the time John received the Revelation, the temple had already been destroyed.[26] This temple, measured by John, symbolizes the temples of the last1week, that is, the saints who received God the Holy Spirit.[27] The purpose of the measurement is to distinguish between those who will be judged and those who will be saved. Only those who worship in the temple are separated from judgment.[28] Only those who have become temples of God the Holy Spirit, are separated from judgment. Only those who have washed away their sins with the blood of our Lord Jesus and the word of the laver[29], and who enter the temple, receive the guidance of God the Holy Spirit, eat the word of bread, pray at the altar of incense, and worship only God, are separated from judgment. Those who only tread on the yard outside the temple, that is, 'church attendants' who rely on the blood shed on the cross, the altar of burnt offering, imitate the appearance of godliness[30] and do not purify their conduct, will be handed over to the gentiles and trampled for 42 months.[31] These church attendants who only pursue happiness of this world, will not choose to be martyred[32], so if these people survive until the last1week, most of them will worship the beast and receive the mark of the beast.[33] The holy city trampled upon by the gentiles here does not refer to the building of Jerusalem. Jerusalem in the Israel region is no longer the holy city.[34] Jerusalem here refers to a gathering of believers, a church that is a mixture of wheat and tares.[35] Only 'grain' will be free from being trampled on.[36]
† There may be an opinion that this 'measure' that John was commanded, does not mean that the 2 witnesses measure the true worshipers, but to measure the 2 witnesses who worship truly. It is the view to measure the 144000 firstfruits who will prophesy in sackcloth during the 1260 days, the 42 months, while the beasts trample on the people of God. If that is the case, this measure would have already been started from the time the Lamb broke the 6th seal. The scene of sealing the 144000 is the scene where the measure is made. And this measured 144000, the 2 witnesses who worship God truly in the temple[37], smash the armies of the beast during the 1st half of the last1week.
Is.1:11 "What are the multitude of your sacrifices to me?," says Yahweh. "I have had enough of the burnt offerings of rams, And the fat of fed animals. I don't delight in the blood of bulls, Or of lambs, Or of male goats.
Is.1:12 When you come to appear before me, Who has required this at your hand, to trample my courts?
Is.1:13 Bring no more vain offerings. Incense is an abomination to me; New moons, Sabbaths, and convocations: I can't bear with evil assemblies.
† Those who pretend to offer sacrifices, but do not intend to enter the temple to see God who judges sin[38], those who claim the blood of our Lord Jesus, but pollute the precious blood to commit sins boldly[39], those who confess our Lord Jesus with their mouth but deny Him with their deeds[40], these 'weeds' who attend the gatherings of the saints but do evil, will be separated into judgment through the measurement.[41]
Amos7:7 Thus he showed me and, behold, the Lord stood beside a wall made by a plumb line, with a plumb line in his hand.
Amos7:8 Yahweh said to me, "Amos, what do you see?" I said, "A plumb line." Then the Lord said, "Behold, I will set a plumb line in the midst of my people Israel. I will not again pass by them any more.
Amos7:9 The high places of Isaac will be desolate, the sanctuaries of Israel will be laid waste; and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword."
† As church attendants who confess our Lord Jesus with their mouths but serve their idols as their god[42] and even try to use God to satisfy their greed[43], will be separated into judgment.[44]
Rev.11:3 I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.
† The 2 witnesses who realized the book of Revelation, the word that will be fulfilled in the last1week, wear sackcloth during the day of prophesying. Fine linen symbolizes righteous deeds[45] and sackcloth symbolizes sorrow and mourning.[46] It means that the word the 2 witnesses prophesy for 1260 days, are the words of sorrow and mourning. The 2 witnesses are Elijahs who will prepare the way for our Lord Jesus before the coming of our Lord Jesus.
Mal.4:5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:[KJV]
Mal.4:6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.[KJV]
† Elijah who will prepare the way for our Lord Jesus[47], prophesies the curse of sin and repentance so that the people may receive our Lord Jesus. The Elijah who was established on the day of the 1st coming of our Lord Jesus, is John the baptist[48], and the Elijah who will be established on the day of the 2nd coming of our Lord Jesus, is the 2 witnesses. John the baptist had proclaimed the baptism of repentance. The 2 witnesses will also be clothed in sackcloth and will proclaim sorrow and repentance. I see that these 2 witnesses symbolize the 144000 firstfruits who will be sealed near the last1week and will carry out the mission as Elijah and Moses during the 1st half of the last1week, preparing the way for our Lord Jesus to come again.[49]
Mark1:1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;
Mark1:2 As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
Mark1:3 The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
Mark1:4 John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.
Mark1:5 And there went out unto him all the land of Judaea, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins.
† John the baptist turned the people from sin through the baptism of repentance. The 2 witnesses will also proclaim sorrow and mourning, and will turn the people from their sins. The sins of the last1week are represented by worshiping the beast and receiving the mark of the beast.[50] Therefore, in the last1week, the proclamation of the mourning by the 2 witnesses, will be focused on warnings against worshiping the beast. Those who worship the beast, receive the mark of the beast inevitably. In other words, those who do not worship only God, recieve the mark of the beast inevitably.[51]
Rev.14:3 They sing a new song before the throne, and before the four living creatures and the elders. No one could learn the song except the one hundred forty-four thousand, those who had been redeemed out of the earth.
Rev.14:4 These are those who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are those who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These were redeemed by Jesus from among men, the first fruits to God and to the Lamb.
Rev.14:5 In their mouth was found no lie, for they are blameless.
† The eternal gospel is introduced immediately after introducing the 144000 firstfruits, symbolized by the 2 witnesses. What the 2 witnesses, the 144000 firstfruits, proclaim, is introducing. The prophecy proclaimed by the 144000 firstfruits is the eternal gospel. Through the eternal gospel, the 144000, the 2 witnesses, measure and distinguish the wheat that will be saved and the tares that will be judged. John the baptist, Elijah at the 1st coming of our Lord Jesus, turned the people from their sins and brought them to our Lord Jesus through the baptism of repentance. The 2 witnesses, Elijah at the 2nd coming of our Lord Jesus, will turn the people from their sins and will bring them to our Lord Jesus through the eternal gospel, the little book, the book of Revelation.
† The eternal gospel is the unchanging truth.[52] Although it appeared in different ways according to the ages, the original meaning of the eternal gospel to love God and neighbors, has never changed.[53] The eternal gospel of Adam's age was 'Do not eat the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil'. The eternal gospel of Moses' age was 'Keep the law'. The eternal gospel in the age of our Lord Jesus was 'Receive our Lord Jesus'. In the last1week, Satan will set up Babylon and impose the mark of the beast in order to prevent Adam from worshiping only God. Now, the eternal gospel of the last1week will be 'Worship only God and do not receive the mark of the beast by coming out of Babylon'.
Rev.14:6 I saw an angel flying in mid heaven, having an eternal gospel to proclaim to those who dwell on the earth, and to every nation, tribe, language, and people.
Rev.14:7 He said with a loud voice, "Fear the Lord, and give him glory; for the hour of his judgment has come. Worship him who made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and the springs of waters!"
Rev.14:8 Another, a second angel, followed, saying, "Babylon the great has fallen, which has made all the nations to drink of the wine of the wrath of her sexual immorality."
Rev.14:9 Another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a great voice, "If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives a mark on his forehead, or on his hand,
Rev.14:10 he also will drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is prepared unmixed in the cup of his anger. He will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb.
Rev.14:11 The smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever. They have no rest day and night, those who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.
† Angels proclaim the eternal gospel to every nation, tribe, language, and people. John who represents the 2 witnesses, is commanded to prophesy again to many peoples, nations, languages, and kings.[54] The only difference is whether the angels proclaim it or the 2 witnesses proclaim it, and proclaiming the eternal gospel to every nation, language, and people is the same. In general, the gospel is not proclaimed[55] through angels[56], but through witnesses.[57] Therefore, in my view, this word would not mean that angels fly through heaven, proclaiming the eternal gospel. Perhaps, it seems that God is revealing what the eternal gospel is to be proclaimed by the 2 witnesses through the proclamation of angels.
Ezek.2:8 But you, son of man, hear what I tell you; don't be you rebellious like that rebellious house: open your mouth, and eat that which I give you.
Ezek.2:9 When I looked, behold, a hand was put forth to me; and, behold, a scroll of a book was therein;
Ezek.2:10 He spread it before me: and it was written within and without; and there were written therein lamentations, and mourning, and woe.
Ezek.3:1 He said to me, Son of man, eat that which you find; eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel.
Ezek.3:2 So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat the scroll.
Ezek.3:3 He said to me, Son of man, cause your belly to eat, and fill your bowels with this scroll that I give you. Then did I eat it; and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness.
Ezek.3:4 He said to me, Son of man, go, get you to the house of Israel, and speak with my words to them.
Ezek.3:5 For you are not sent to a people of a strange speech and of a hard language, but to the house of Israel;
Ezek.3:6 not to many peoples of a strange speech and of a hard language, whose words you can not understand. Surely, if I sent you to them, they would listen to you.
Ezek.3:7 But the house of Israel will not listen to you; for they will not listen to me: for all the house of Israel are of hard forehead and of a stiff heart.
Ezek.3:8 Behold, I have made your face hard against their faces, and your forehead hard against their foreheads.
Ezek.3:9 As an adamant harder than flint have I made your forehead: don't be afraid of them, neither be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house.
Ezek.3:10 Moreover he said to me, Son of man, all my words that I shall speak to you receive in your heart, and hear with your ears.
Ezek.3:11 Go, get you to them of the captivity, to the children of your people, and speak to them, and tell them, Thus says the Lord Yahweh; whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear.
† God commands Ezekiel to proclaim the word of lamentations, and mourning, and woe to God's people who are taken captive in Babylon. It is like God commanding the 2 witnesses to proclaim the word of sorrow and repentance to God's people who are captive in Babylon[58], wearing sackcloth for the 1st half of the last1week.[59] Just as the people who were taken captive in Babylon were unwilling to listen, many of the captive who only tread on the yard[60], will not listen.[61]
[1] Rev.22:10 He said to me, "Don't seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is at hand.
[2] 1John2:18 Little children, these are the end times, and as you heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have arisen. By this we know that it is the end times.
[3] Heb.1:1 God, having in the past spoken to the fathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, has at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds.
[4] Dan.9:25 Know therefore and discern, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem to the Anointed One, the prince, shall be seven weeks, and sixty-two weeks: it shall be built again, with street and moat, even in troubled times. After the sixty-two weeks the Anointed One shall be cut off, and shall have nothing: and the people of the prince who shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end of it shall be with a flood, and even to the end shall be war; desolations are determined.
[5] John2:6 Now there were six water pots of stone set there after the Jews' manner of purifying, containing two or three metretes apiece. Jesus said to them, "Fill the water pots with water." They filled them up to the brim.
[6] Matt.24:15 "When, therefore, you see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.
[7] Dan.10:14 Now I am come to make you understand what shall befall your people in the latter days; for the vision is yet for [many] days:
[8] Dan.10:16 Behold, one in the likeness of the sons of men touched my lips: then I opened my mouth, and spoke and said to him who stood before me, my lord, by reason of the vision my sorrows are turned on me, and I retain no strength. For how can the servant of this my lord talk with this my lord? for as for me, immediately there remained no strength in me, neither was there breath left in me.
[9] Dan.10:4 In the four and twentieth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is Hiddekel, I lifted up my eyes, and looked, and, behold, a man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with pure gold of Uphaz: his body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as flaming torches, and his arms and his feet like burnished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude. I, Daniel, alone saw the vision; for the men who were with me didn't see the vision; but a great quaking fell on them, and they fled to hide themselves. So I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me; for my comeliness was turned in me into corruption, and I retained no strength. Yet heard I the voice of his words; and when I heard the voice of his words, then was I fallen into a deep sleep on my face, with my face toward the ground.
[10] Rev.10:1 I saw a mighty angel coming down out of the sky, clothed with a cloud. A rainbow was on his head. His face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire.
[11] Rev.1:15 His feet were like burnished brass, as if it had been refined in a furnace. His voice was like the voice of many waters. He had seven stars in his right hand. Out of his mouth proceeded a sharp two-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining at its brightest. When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead man. He laid his right hand on me, saying, "Don't be afraid. I am the first and the last,
[12] 1Pet.3:22 who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, angels and authorities and powers being made subject to him.
[13] Matt.22:30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are like God's angels in heaven.
[14] Luke24:39 See my hands and my feet, that it is truly me. Touch me and see, for a spirit doesn't have flesh and bones, as you see that I have." When he had said this, he shown them his hands and his feet. While they still didn't believe for joy, and wondered, he said to them, "Do you have anything here to eat?" They gave him a piece of a broiled fish and some honeycomb. He took it, and ate in front of them.
[15] Gen.18:8 He took butter, milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them. He stood by them under the tree, and they ate. They said to him, "Where is Sarah, your wife? He said, "See, in the tent." He said, "I will certainly return to you when the season comes round. Behold, Sarah your wife will have a son." Sarah heard in the tent door, which was behind him.
[16] Judg.13:21 But the angel of Yahweh did no more appear to Manoah or to his wife. Then Manoah knew that he was the angel of Yahweh. Manoah said to his wife, We shall surely die, because we have seen God.
[17] Rev.10:1 I saw a mighty angel coming down out of the sky, clothed with a cloud. A rainbow was on his head. His face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire.
[18] 1Cor.15:45 So also it is written, "The first man, Adam, became a living soul." The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
[19] Acts1:9 When he had said these things, as they were looking, he was taken up, and a cloud received him out of their sight. While they were looking steadfastly into the sky as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white clothing, who also said, "You men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who was received up from you into the sky will come back in the same way as you saw him going into the sky."
[20] Rev.5:2 I saw a mighty angel proclaiming with a loud voice, "Who is worthy to open the book, and to break its seals?" No one in heaven above, or on the earth, or under the earth, was able to open the book, or to look in it.
[21] Rev.14:3 They sing a new song before the throne, and before the four living creatures and the elders. No one could learn the song except the one hundred forty-four thousand, those who had been redeemed out of the earth. These are those who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are those who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These were redeemed by Jesus from among men, the first fruits to God and to the Lamb. In their mouth was found no lie, for they are blameless.
[22] Dan.12:8 I heard, but I didn't understand: then said I, my lord, what shall be the issue of these things? He said, Go your way, Daniel; for the words are shut up and sealed until the time of the end.
[23] Rev.11:3 I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred sixty days, clothed in sackcloth. These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands, standing before the Lord of the earth. If anyone desires to harm them, fire proceeds out of their mouth and devours their enemies. If anyone desires to harm them, he must be killed in this way. These have the power to shut up the sky, that it may not rain during the days of their prophecy. They have power over the waters, to turn them into blood, and to strike the earth with every plague, as often as they desire.
[24] Rev.14:6 I saw an angel flying in mid heaven, having an eternal gospel to proclaim to those who dwell on the earth, and to every nation, tribe, language, and people.
[25] Is.22:12 In that day did the Lord, Yahweh of Hosts, call to weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth: and behold, joy and gladness, killing oxen and killing sheep, eating flesh and drinking wine: let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we shall die.
[26] Matt.24:1 Jesus went out from the temple, and was going on his way. His disciples came to him to show him the buildings of the temple. But he answered them, "Don't you see all of these things? Most assuredly I tell you, there will not be left here one stone on another, that will not be thrown down."
[27] 1Cor.6:19 Or don't you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which you have from God? You are not your own,
[28] John4:24 God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth."
[29] John13:10 Jesus said to him, "Someone who has bathed only needs to have their feet washed, but is completely clean. You are clean, but not all of you."
[30] 2Tim.3:2 For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, no lovers of good, traitors, headstrong, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God; holding a form of godliness, but having denied the power thereof. Turn away from these, also.
[31] Is.1:21 How the faithful city has become a prostitute! She was full of justice; righteousness lodged in her, But now murderers. Your silver has become dross, Your wine mixed with water. Your princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves. Everyone loves bribes, and follows after rewards. They don't judge the fatherless, Neither does the cause of the widow come to them.
[32] Matt.10:37 He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter more than me isn't worthy of me. He who doesn't take his cross and follow after me, isn't worthy of me. He who finds his life will lose it; and he who loses his life for my sake will find it.
[33] Rev.13:5 A mouth speaking great things and blasphemy was given to him. Authority to make war for forty-two months was given to him. He opened his mouth for blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his dwelling, those who dwell in heaven. It was given to him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them. Authority over every tribe, people, language, and nation was given to him. All who dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who has been killed.
[34] Matt.23:37 "Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets, and stones those who are sent to her! How often would I have gathered your children together, even as a hen gathers her chickens under her wings, and you would not! Behold, your house is left to you desolate. For I tell you, you will not see me from now on, until you say, 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!'"
[35] Matt.13:27 The servants of the householder came and said to him, 'Sir, didn't you sow good seed in your field? Where did this darnel come from?' "He said to them, 'An enemy has done this.' "The servants asked him, 'Do you want us to go and gather them up?' "But he said, 'No, lest perhaps while you gather up the darnel, you root up the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest, and in the harvest time I will tell the reapers, "First, gather up the darnel, and bind them in bundles to burn them; but gather the wheat into my barn."'"

[37] Ezek.9:3 The glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon it was, to the threshold of the house: and he called to the man clothed in linen, who had the writer's inkhorn by his side. Yahweh said to him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark on the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry over all the abominations that are done in the midst of it. To the others he said in my hearing, Go you through the city after him, and strike: don't let your eye spare, neither have you pity; kill utterly the old man, the young man and the virgin, and little children and women; but don't come near any man on whom is the mark: and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the old men that were before the house.
[38] Jer.7:9 Will you steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense to Baal, and walk after other gods that you have not known, and come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered; that you may do all these abominations?
[39] Heb.10:26 For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more a sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fierceness of fire which will devour the adversaries. A man who disregards Moses' law dies without compassion on the word of two or three witnesses. How much worse punishment, do you think, will he be judged worthy of, who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and has counted the blood of the covenant with which he was sanctified an unholy thing, and has insulted the Spirit of grace?
[40] Titus1:16 They profess that they know God, but by their works they deny him, being abominable, disobedient, and unfit for any good work.
[41] Matt.13:47 "Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a dragnet, that was cast into the sea, and gathered some fish of every kind, which, when it was filled, they drew up on the beach. They sat down, and gathered the good into containers, but the bad they threw away. So will it be in the end of the world. The angels will come forth, and separate the wicked from among the righteous, and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth."
[42] Col.3:5 Put to death therefore your members which are on the earth: sexual immorality, uncleanness, depraved passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry;
[43] 1Kin.12:28 Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold; and he said to them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem: see your gods, Israel, which brought you up out of the land of Egypt.
[44] Rev.22:15 Outside are the dogs, the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.
[45] Rev.19:8 It was given to her that she would array herself in bright, pure, fine linen: for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.
[46] Jer.6:26 Daughter of my people, gird you with sackcloth, and wallow yourself in ashes: make you mourning, as for an only son, most bitter lamentation; for the destroyer shall suddenly come on us.
Joel1:13 Put on sackcloth and mourn, you priests! Wail, you ministers of the altar. Come, lie all night in sackcloth, you ministers of my God, For the meal offering and the drink offering are withheld from your God's house.
[47] Luke1:17 He will go before his face in the spirit and power of Elijah, 'to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,' and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord."
[48] Matt.17:12 but I tell you that Elijah has come already, and they didn't recognize him, but did to him whatever they wanted to. Even so will the Son of Man also suffer by them." Then the disciples understood that he spoke to them of John the Baptizer.
[49] Rev.14:1 I saw, and behold, the Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with him a number, one hundred forty-four thousand, having his name, and the name of his Father, written on their foreheads.
[50] Rev.13:15 It was given to him to give breath to it, to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause as many as wouldn't worship the image of the beast to be killed. He causes all, the small and the great, the rich and the poor, and the free and the slave, so that they should give them marks on their right hand, or on their forehead;
[51] Rev.14:7 He said with a loud voice, "Fear the Lord, and give him glory; for the hour of his judgment has come. Worship him who made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and the springs of waters!"
[52] Gal.1:7 and there isn't another gospel. Only there are some who trouble you, and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you any gospel other than that which we preached to you, let him be cursed.
[53] Matt.22:37 Jesus said to him, "'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.' This is the first and great commandment. A second likewise is this, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments."
[54] Rev.10:11 They told me, "You must prophesy again over many peoples, nations, languages, and kings."
[55] 1Cor.1:21 For seeing that in the wisdom of God, the world through its wisdom didn't know God, it was God's good pleasure through the foolishness of the preaching to save those who believe.
[56] Rom.10:14 How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in him whom they have not heard? How will they hear without a preacher? And how will they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, Who bring glad tidings of good things!"
[57] Acts1:8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come on you. You will be witnesses to me in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the uttermost parts of the earth."
[58] Rev.17:4 The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of the sexual immorality of the earth. And on her forehead a name was written, "MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH."
[59] Rev.14:8 Another, a second angel, followed, saying, "Babylon the great has fallen, which has made all the nations to drink of the wine of the wrath of her sexual immorality."
[60] Rev.11:2 Leave out the court which is outside of the temple, and don't measure it, for it has been given to the gentiles. They will tread the holy city under foot for forty-two months.
[61] Luke18:8 I tell you that he will avenge them quickly. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?"
