Day 364: Revelation 16-18
 

Color code:

• Sinners
• True Christian™ rewards
• Weird stuff
• The sword leitmotiv

For those sinners who visit our Forum and are gamers or otherwise illiterate, we have prepared a visual aid to help you understand the Tribulations.

Glory! Previously, Jesus gave the Beast the right to seduce remaining Earthlings into choosing Satan and the ones who did so received the Mark of the Beast. Jesus also used the Celestial Winepress to prepare a tincture containing a fortified extract of the Wrath of God. Now He's ready to pour the contents on the sinners. Let's see, what happens next. It's time for Revelation Chapter 16, one of the most action-packed parts of the whole Bible.

Vial 1: Eczema. Skin disease. Glory!

Revelation 16:2
And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.

Vial 2: Jesus continues to shut down ecosystem services once and for all. Now He kills of all sea life. No more whales, no dolphins, no cuttlefish, no sea cucumbers, no fish, no walruses, no sharks, no stingrays, no flightless waterfowl called penguins. Only the dead ocean with a stench that will make the sinners lose all bowel control! Glory!

Revelation 16:3
And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.

Vial 3: Freshwater ecosystems poisoned. No more perch or otters or beavers or eel or newts or trout or salmon, only dead rotting organisms with a stench that will make the sinners lose all bowel control! Glory!

Revelation 16:4
And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood.

Vial 3 is followed by a brief interlude, during which the angels thank God for this righteous judgment that the sinners themselves have brought upon them! Nice. On to Vial 4: The Sun heats up to burn the sinners alive! Glory!

Revelation 16:8
And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.

Another brief interlude, as we listen to the cries of sinners.... Have they finally Repented? Now would be the perfect time to ask for Jesus's forgiveness.

:pigsfly:

No chance, the idiots still blame God for these plagues and refuse to Glorify Him. Jesus did His best and still they detest Him.

Vial 5: All light goes out. This also means that Jesus has almost given up hope for these sinners (John 8:12). In the darkness, the sinners are in incredible pain. They bite off their own tongues in agony. Glory!

Revelation 16:10
And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain,

Surely they will now Repent! Jesus has shown them incredible Mercy (Jonah 4:2) and given them this precious Judgment that should lead them to Christ! Surely they now turn to Jesus!

:pigsfly:

Jesus does not give up. He really tries to get His message through to the repulsive scum that will not accept His Love (1 John 4:8). Vial 6: Jesus prepares the Battlefield in case the sinners persist and refuse to cherish His magnanimous Punishment. Glory!


Revelation 16:12
And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.

Satan also prepares to do battle by producing unclean spirits. Jesus retaliates. He comes as a thief (1 Thessalonians 5:2).

Revelation 16:16-17
And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.

OK. No more nice guy. Now it's serious business. Vial 7: the Earth begins to dissolve! Glory!

Revelation 16:18
And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.

Revelation 16:20
And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.

Last chance. How could the sinners not Repent at this point? They must see their depravity and turn to Jesus, mustn't they!?

:pigsfly:

Revelation 16:21
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.

Now, on to Chapter 17. A vision! A tremendous Vision of the Whore!
https://gregsloop.files.wordpress.co...9ca2aac00.jpegRevelation 17:4-5
And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

Not a real woman but, again, a symbol.

Revelation 17:18
And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

Other strange apparition have appeared, as well. We see seven heads, ten horns, and the beast that we saw earlier. We are afraid and confused. This is how Jesus and God perceive the World. We only see a tiny reflections of these marvels in our dimension. Who is the woman? Who are the heads? Many suggestions have been presented by false Christian scholars. The most popular (and, I must admit, plausible) is that these whorish apparitions represent the Catholic Cult and its Chief the Pope. But why should we stop at that? It is even more plausible that the beasts and the heads and the horns and the WHORE are reflections of everything that is so wrong in the Earth: female emancipation, evolution, gaysexual sex, sodomy, homosexual fornication, false religions, environmentalism, vegetarians, etc., etc. They all have a common goal.

https://i1.wp.com/stayedonthee.com/w...88%2C500&ssl=1

Revelation 17:14
These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.

But Jesus knows what they're plotting. In fact, He's designed all this! He's still in control! Nice.

Revelation 17:17
For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.

Chapter 18. The defenses of the sinners start to crumble. Babylon falls, Again, this Babylon is everything that opposes Jesus and His detailed instructions on how to live.

http://www.confidentfaith.net/wp-con...7/babylon2.jpg

Revelation 18:2
And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.

We now see the futility of all bling and extra-Biblical knowledge. It is now all destroyed in one tremendous show of God's Will!

Revelation 18:17
For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,

All the stuff that the sinners enjoyed: the music, the games, the movies, the café scene, nighttime parks, orchids, manicures, cosmetics, central heating, poetry - now all destroyed in one swoon of Jesus's Wrath! Nice.

Revelation 18:22
And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee;

Why!? Again, do not blame Jesus. It's all because the sinners mocked Him and us, True Christians™. That is why they suffer. Nice.

Revelation 18:24
And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.


Next Time: The Two Everafters!


Yours in Christ,

Thank you, Brother Professor Dr White, Sir, for clearing up this particular point:

The Book of Revelation is a firm favorite in this household, especially at Christmastide, but Revelation 17:5, although stirring stuff, has always raised questions:

My boys had pretty much concluded that the name must be shorter in Armageddonese (or whatever the local dialect was) - you know how some of those weird languages can say a lot in one word, where we need a whole sentence? Otherwise it would not fit on a woman's forehead. But if she's just a symbol, there would be infinite space.

Thank you again. 1 Corinthians 1:4-8.

"Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment; thou shalt not respect the person of the lowly, nor honour the person of the great; in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour."This is the passage that i was asked to complete when registering in order to write here. And here you are, judging others.
I don't care at all about the book of revelation, i care about the intro you wrote.
"For those sinners who visit our Forum and are gamers or otherwise illiterate, we have prepared a visual aid to help you understand the Tribulations."
seriously, i wonder what's in your mind to write something like this. there's so much wrong stuff in tis text.


1."for those sinners", starting with this, you literally have no right, nor possess the jurisdiction to consider others sinners. You are the first ones to estabilish the differences between people. Considering who does not believe in what you believe a "sinner", that is really twisted af. Especially when these other people (like myself) respect your faith. This is obscene


2. " gamers or otherwise illiterate"
mate, that is really twisted. How dare you comparing gamers to illiterates, you literally know nothing about gaming. And beside that, you really shouldn't go around prejudicing whatever you want that you don't know. You have your world, other people have their world, and you are obliged to respect that (that is what your god would want you to do). If by any chance, you consider "illiterate" those who did not read the sacred books, then I kindly invite you to go check your vocabulary, as it seems you do not know the meaning of that word very well.


3. You preperad a visual aid? That is literally ridiculous and outrageous. Do you seriously think that people that play games can't read and must be treated as child? Please, go back to you holy books and never talk about other people, will you?

Re: Day 364: Revelation 16-18
 

Yeah, I bolded the bit that ORDERS them to do that. So what's the problem?

Re: Day 364: Revelation 16-18
 

You have thus provided proof positive of Brother White's theorem. I thank you for so succinctly make the point in a manner that the smallest of minds can grasp.:thumbsup:
I bet you are glad that school was canceled. Though, a True Christian™ knows that God teaches us every single day that He is right and we are wrong.

Re: Day 364: Revelation 16-18
 

make it's all about Jesus
don’t allow your problems reading Revelation to get the first-class of you。 as a substitute， permit those troubles to make the satisfactory of you。
don’t tire yourself out fighting towards the demanding situations。 instead， discover new electricity by way of embracing1 the ones challenges and operating via them to create actual price。
continually remind yourself that discour-agement is not anything extra than a reaction you’ve selected。 when you find that you’ve chosen to allow or not it's， you may simply as definitely choose to allow it go。
update discouragement with determin-ation。 it's miles your lifestyles’s energy， and you could point it in whatever path you select。 your most effective reaction isn't based totally only on what has already happened。 your maximum powerful reaction additionally takes into account what you wish to make occur next。
look ahead，and envision in remarkable detail the future you desire。 then collect all of your power， and leap forward to make it towards Salvation。

Re: Day 364: Revelation 16-18
 

Being able to read out words is not the same as understanding what they mean. For example I was excused Latin for some reason so never learned what the words meant. But I can open a page of Latin and read out the words easily enough. Do I understand what they mean? No. A visual aid would be appreciated in that case. I don't know if you've ever met a gamer or a child, but there are significant differences; for a start children are capable of reflective thinking. It results from social interaction (other than MMORPG) and includes language skills. Not only do they know what words sound like, they also know what words mean. It would not be appropriate to treat a gamer as a child.

This has already been covered in another post, clearly though whoever wrote that has no idea what the words In righteousness shalt thou judge actually mean. Read them out loud? Probably, much as I could read out Nullumst iam dictum quod non dictum sit prius but have no idea what the words mean. Can I read Latin or not? In the sense that can read out the words, yes, but for Latin I am otherwise illiterate. This is an example worth remembering when witnessing to gamer types. Pictures will help but don't hold them up too long they'll lose interest. Getting back to the Latin, someone in history wrote that snippet nullumst iam dictum.. but ancient Rome is not the only history out there. There's Egyptian history conveniently carved in stone, Scottish history (I'm not sure how they record history in Scotland) and even history of the future. Just as bogus histories of the past could be written (I'll present an example here)

EXAMPLE 2

In the year 2019 the French king led a dragoon attack on Greenland, at that time a part of the Tasmanian Empire and a major manufacturing power in the world economy. France had been struggling for centuries both environmentally and with regard to the arts primarily due to shortages of penguin tallow. By annexing Greenland they hoped to reverse this misfortune and dominate markets not only in penguin tallow but in naphtha, mangoes and kikuyu. These commodities had been neglected as a resource by the Greenlandic military industrial complex and the King was eager to exploit them. All that stood in the way was Greenland's submarine fleet. No dragoon force had ever been defeated by submarines.

so could bogus future histories be made up, by people called FALSE PROPHETS. Anyone could make up anything and find someone to believe them. But that doesn't make it true. The Bible contains history of both the past and the future. Revelation is the history of the future. By comparing the history of the past, checking it for reliability, we can be certain that Revelation is not a deception from God. Then we can be ready for Christ's return and His setting up an everlasting kingdom (unlike the French kingdom which is extinct) where we will reign with Him. In chapters 16 to 18, God has explained some very important future history so that we'll understand, so important that picture versions and visual aids are appropriate for anyone otherwise illiterate. Gamers, perhaps, or me if it was written in Latin. Fortunately it wasn't. Music is another aid to understanding God's message.

All I have to say is this was amazing reading! It really teaches me and everyone else, thank you!

Re: Day 364: Revelation 16-18
 

It's great to see you're reading this important part of Scripture. It is so important to understand The Truth and here we can see what happens when people follow lies instead.

Re: Day 364: Revelation 16-18
 

All I can say is that this was fantastic reading! I appreciate how much it teaches me and everyone else.

So disappointing —— I was about to send a friend request and everything :(
