Knowing JESUS Daily Devotional | February 4, 2020. Enrich and Sustain your relationship with Jesus reading our daily devotional – Revelation 4:1 -5 After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter. And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne. And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald. And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold. And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.
Beloved, as we conclude the remaining verses of chapter seventeen of the book of Revelation. Let me draw your attention to something important.
When apostle John saw the vision of this woman, the great whore. He was extremely suprised. See it.
Revelation 17:6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
The angel who was showing him the vision, noticed it and promised to give him, detail explanation about what He saw. See it.
Revelation 17:7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.
Now it is very important for you to make the significance of the interpretation of this vision to energise you to partake in the dawning rapture.
That if it is just one person that is qualified in the whole world for this imminent event. That person must be you.
This is because, the vision is sure to happen and also the time is at hand, not far. May the Lord help you in particular in Jesus name.
Please run with the interpretation of this vision.
Hab 2:2 — Hab 2:3 And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time,but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.
Do you know what this passage below means. No time again. The vision is set to happen. The morning comeh. It is knocking. Do everything that shall help you qualify for the rapture.
Isa 21:11 — Isa 21:12 The burden of Dumah. He calleth to me out of Seir, Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night? The watchman said,The morning cometh, and also the night: if ye will enquire, enquire ye: return, come.
Now see the details of the remaining verses.
Rev 17:7 — Rev 17:18 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the myst itery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns. The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. 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. And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. 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.And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
The angel in deed interpreted the vision to John.
Jesus’ second coming shall happen seven years after the rapture of the church.
However, before He comes, the Antichrist and the world wide religious system would have institutionalized false religion globally.
All of these must be destroyed to pave the way for His righteous government.
God had purposed that the whore, the apostate churches shall be destroyed.
The Antichrist after using the whore to accomplish his political ambition, shall destroy them.
Rev 17:15 — Rev 17:18 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. 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. And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
But then this shall happen during the great tribulation. However, today in the global Christendom. Many things are happening that should give you concern.
This is because the little Antichrist are in the world already, paving way for the real Antichrist. See it.
1 John 2:18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
How do you explain what they are doing? See it.
2Th 2:3 — 2Th 2:4 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
The vast majority of the church world today have departed and fallen into apostasy. False religion is the order of the day, every where.
The Bible has no bearing in most of the churches globally. Error is being perpetrated. The truth has fallen
Isa 59:13 — Isa 59:14 In transgressing and lying against the Lord, and departing away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt,conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood. And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street,and equity cannot enter.
1Ti 4:1 — 1Ti 4:2 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
Seducing and demonic spirits are having field day in the church world today. The so-called believers have their consciences seared with hot iron. They believed lies and reject the truth. Most testimonies being shared and published are lies.
Sound doctrines are no more preached. But motivational speakers are thriving. Making merchandise of vast majority of the believers.
2Ti 4:3 — 2Ti 4:4 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
Do you see why you must run with this vision. Many believers have been seduced into false religion and apostate churches. Who knows perhaps whether, even you have been seduced.
No wonder you don’t see anything wrong again in worldliness. In bribery and corruption. In divorce and remarriage. You now can gain anything, even if you need to trade your birthright like Esau. Wake up from spiritual slumber.
1Co 15:34 Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.
It is true you are aware the rapture is dawning. But like the foolish virgins, you know what to do to be prepared. Unfortunately, you are not doing it. Where do you stand,?
This is why multitude shall hear that the rapture has taken place without them knowing. May this not be your portion. Where do you stand? Don’t be presumptuous. See all that the Lord has revealed to you about the great tribulation. You shall not be part of it I Jesus name. So run with this vision now. Tomorrow might be too late.
Beloved see how the Bible gives detail description and destiny of the monster , the Antichrist.
Rev 17:8 — Rev 17:12 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
This is the description of the Antichrist.
However, before the Antichrist shall come the church would have gone.
2Th 2:3 — 2Th 2:4 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
What then are the signs of his coming?
First, the fallen away from the truth shall happen globally. Today churches, individuals and whole denomination are fallen away from sound doctrines and embracing falsehood.
The Antichrist would come. He would be very proud. He would want to be worshipped as God is worshipped.
But then, he has not come yet, because the church is still here.
2Th 2:7 — 2Th 2:8 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
But then see the deception, lying wonders and rejection of the truth, that would damn vast majority of the so called believers. I hope you are not rejecting the totality of the unfailing word of God.
This is the reason why multitude inside the church shall miss the rapture. You shall not miss it in Jesus name.
2Th 2:9 — 2Th 2:12 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
Dan 7:7 — Dan 7:8 After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns. I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.
The Antichrist shall be full of intelligence and shall blaspheme God. But then ultimately shall be damned. Sent to the lake of fire .
Revelation 19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
Those people who shall suffer with the Antichrist are people whose names are not written in the book of life.
Revelation 17:8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
Revelation 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
The Antichrist shall resist the establishment of Christ’s government.
He and his allies in the whole world shall unite to perpetrate this evil. But they shall be defeated.
He would raise a worldwide armies. But they shall be defeated.
The victory of our Lord is sure.
Rev 17:13 — Rev 17:14 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. 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.
In the time past, there had been such unity to undo God:s purpose.
Gen 11:1 — Gen 11:7 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter. And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.
Psa 2:1 — Psa 2:6 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure. Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
Psa 21:8 — Psa 21:12 Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies: thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee. Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of thine anger: the Lord shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them. Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men. For they intended evil against thee: they imagined a mischievous device, which they are not able to perform. Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back,when thou shalt make ready thine arrows upon thy strings against the face of them.
Two different groups are seen with Christ at this time, when He is coming to establish His government.
Rev 17:13 — Rev 17:14 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. 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.
One group is at Warfare the Antichrist
Another group for Worship the church.
One group Fighting, Him the Antichrist
The other group fellowshipping with Him. The church.
See the qualifications of those with Christ. You shall be there in Jesus name.
Rev 17:13 — Rev 17:14 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. 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.
1. Called to salvation, separation, sanctification, and service.
1Th 4:7 — 1Th 4:8 For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness. He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit.
2 Chosen:
1 Peter 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
3. Faithful:
Colossians 1:2 To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ which are at Colosse: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Receive grace to be part of this group in Jesus name.
Lastly, we see the destruction of apostate churches. It’s desolation and destruction of the mother of abomination.
Rev 17:15 — Rev 17:18 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. 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. And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
The woman represent the global apostate churches. The false religion system.
The Antichrist shall engage the false prophet to perpetrate global religion system hinged on lying wonders.
But then after the Antichrist has achieved his political ambition. He shall turn around to fight against the apostate churches and destroy them. The scriptures affirms it severally. See them.
Rev 17:16 — Rev 17:17 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. 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.
Jeremiah 51:13 O thou that dwellest upon many waters, abundant in treasures, thine end is come, and the measure of thy covetousness.
Ezekiel 27:26 Thy rowers have brought thee into great waters: the east wind hath broken thee in the midst of the seas.
Isa 13:17 — Isa 13:19 Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, which shall not regard silver; and as for gold, they shall not delight in it. Their bows also shall dash the young men to pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eye shall not spare children. And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees’ excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.
Revelation 18:8 Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.
Rev 18:16 — Rev 18:19 And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet,and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls! 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, And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying,What city is like unto this great city? And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying,Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.
Rev 19:1 — Rev 19:3 And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God: For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand. And again they said, Alleluia. And her smoke rose up for ever and ever.
Beloved, see why you must run with this vision. The apostate churches shall ultimately be destroyed by God. The apostate churches now and during the great tribulation shall ultimately be destroyed by God.
See the timely warning from our loving Father and the risen and glorious Lamb of God
2Pe 3:11 — 2Pe 3:14 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
Heb 2:1 — Heb 2:3 Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip. For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward; How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;
Isaiah 26:20 Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be over past.
Heeding these warnings and most importantly, coming out from the apostate church now, shall make your secured seat among the twenty four elders apostle John saw, in the revelation of the Lord,. not elude you. It shall not in Jesus name.
Rev 4:1 — Rev 4:5 After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter. And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne. And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald. And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold. And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.
