WHAT TIME IT IS®™
the wrath
of God for worshipers of the beast
14:9 And the third angel
followed them, saying with a loud voice,
[1] If any man
[a.] worship the beast
and [there
are two additional
requirements for eternal damnation (c/p. vs. 14:11), as one might be deceived in
committing one or two of these attributes: but not all three.]
[b.] [worship] his image,
and
[c.] receive [his] mark
[11.]
in his forehead, or
[d.] [receive
[his] mark] in his hand,
[1] drink of the wine
of the wrath of God,
[a.] which is poured out without
mixture
[11.] into the cup of his indignation; and
he shall
[2] be tormented with fire and brimstone
[a.] in the
presence of the holy angels, and
[b.] in the
presence of the Lamb:
14:11 And
[1] the smoke of their torment [c/p.
Rev. 18:9-10]
[a.] ascendeth up for ever and ever: and
[2] they have no rest day nor
night,
[a.] who worship the beast
and
[b.] [who worship] his image,
and
[c.] whosoever receiveth the mark
[11.] of his name (c/p. vs. 14:9).
The slaughter of saints is not yet over
14:12 Here
is the patience [vs. 13:10] of the saints: here [are]
[1] they that keep the commandments of God
[these are Jews], and
[2] [they that keep] the faith of Jesus
[Christian-Jews].
14:13 And I
heard a voice from heaven
[1] saying
unto me, Write,
[a.] Blessed [are] the dead
[11.] which die in the Lord from henceforth [more believers
to be killed]:
[b.] Yea, saith the Spirit, that they
[these that are about to die in the Lord]
[11.] may rest from their labours; and
[12.] their works do follow them.
14:14 And I
looked, and behold
[1] a white cloud, and
[2] upon the cloud [one] sat like unto the Son of man, having
[a.] on his
head a golden crown, and
[b.] in his hand a sharp sickle [c/p. Matt. 13: 24-30; 36-42].
14:15 And another angel [probably a
redeemed man] came out of the temple, crying
[1] with a loud voice
[2] to him that sat on the cloud,
[3] Thrust in thy sickle, and
[4] reap: for the time is
come
[a.] for thee
to reap;
[b.] for the harvest of the earth is ripe.
14:16 And he that sat on the cloud
[1] thrust in his sickle on
the earth; and
[2] the earth was reaped.
14:17 And another angel came out of the temple
which is in heaven,
[1] he also having a sharp sickle.
[1] came out from the altar,
[2] which had power over fire;
and
cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle,
saying,
[a.] Thrust in
thy sharp sickle, and
[b.] gather
the clusters of the vine of the earth;
[11] for her grapes are fully ripe.
[1] thrust in his sickle into the
earth, and
[2] gathered the vine of the
earth, and
[3] cast [it] into the great
winepress of the wrath of God.
[1] winepress was trodden without the city, and
[2] blood came out of the winepress,
[a.[ even unto the horse bridles,
[b.] by the space of a thousand [and] six hundred furlongs [200 miles: which is the length of the nation of Israel. "Armageddon" is Hebrew for "Mt. Megiddo", which is in Northern Israel. The valley of Megiddo (also referred to as the valley of Jehoshaphat; Joel 3:2, 12) is where the Battle of Armageddon is to be fought (Rev. 16:12-16; c/p. Zech. 12:11). See also: Ezekiel 38 and 39 is not the battle of Armageddon.]
