Those who have no root, those who believe for awhile, and in time of temptation fall away (Lk.8:13 below) to renew themselves again unto repentance, seeing they crucify to themselves Jesus afresh, put Jesus to an open shame (Heb.6:6 below).
They on the rock are they which when they hear, receive the word with joy (Lk.8:13 below). They do not fall away with the error of the wicked. They do not fall from their own stedfastness, but grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (2 Pe.3:17-18 below).
Tares have no root; the church (1 Cor.10:32)stands on the Rock (Lk.8:13 below).
Lk.8:13 They on the rock [are they], which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.
Heb.6:6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put [him] to an open shame.
2 Pe.3:17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know [these things] before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.
2 Pe.3:18 But grow in grace, and [in] the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him [be] glory both now and for ever. Amen.

Satan, the prince of the air and the god of this present evil World
Satan is the prince of the power of the air (Eph.2:2 below). Satan is the god (2 Cor.4:4 below) of this present evil world (Gal.1:4 below). Satan is the king/angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue Apollyon (Re.9:11 below).
Satan is described as a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns (Re.12:3 below), a piercing and crooked serpent, a dragon that is in the sea (Isa.27:1 below).
Lucifer has fallen from heaven (Isa.14:12 below); he claims he will exalt his throne above the stars of God (Isa.14:13 below). He claims he will be like the most High (Isa.14:14 below).
Lucifer is brought down to hell, to the pit (Isa.14:15 below). Satan/Lucifer/the Dragon is the king/angel of the bottomless pit (Re.9:11 below).
2 Cor.4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
Gal.1:4 (Jesus) Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:
Eph.2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
Re.9:11 And they had a king over them, [which is] the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue [is] Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath [his] name Apollyon.
Re.12:3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon (Isa.27:1 above), having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
Isa.27:1 In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that [is] in the sea (Re.12:3 above).
Isa.14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! [how] art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
Isa.14:13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
Isa.14:14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
Isa.14:15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit (Re.9:11 above).

The False Prophet sits in a PLACE, that Great CITY Mystery Babylon
The false prophet/king (Dan.11:36-38 below) will sit (2 Thess.2:4 below) in a PLACE, that great CITY Mystery Babylon (Re.18:2, 10, 16, 18-19 below), “where ALSO our Lord was crucified” (Re.11:8, Heb.13:12 below).
Dan.11:36 And the king (Dan.7:8, Dan.7:24) shall do according to his will; and HE SHALL EXALT HIMSELF, AND MAGNIFY HIMSELF above every god (Dan.8:11, 2 Thess.2:4 below), and shall speak marvelous things against the God of gods, and SHALL PROSPER TILL THE INDIGNATION BE ACCOMPLISHED: for that that is determined SHALL BE DONE (Dan.7:21, Dan.7:25).
Dan.11:37 Neither shall he (the king) regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: FOR HE SHALL MAGNIFY HIMSELF ABOVE ALL (Dan.11:36 above).
Dan.11:38 But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces (Dan.11:31): and a god whom his fathers knew not (Dan.11:37 above) shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things (Re.17:4).
2 Thess.2:4 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 (Dan.11:36-37 above).
Re.11:8 And their dead bodies (the two prophets – Re.11:10) shall lie in the street of the great CITY (Re.18:2, 10, 16, 18, 19 below), which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, WHERE ALSO OUR LORD WAS CRUCIFIED (Heb.13:12 below).
Heb.13:12 Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, SUFFERED WITHOUT (outside) THE GATE (Re.11:8 above).
Mystery Babylon - that great CITY -
Re.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.
Re.18:10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
Re.18:16 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!
Re.18:18 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What [city is] like unto this great city!
Re.18:19 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.

The End-Time Role of the FOUR Beasts/Kings of Daniel chapters 7 and 8
The four great beasts who come up from the sea (Dan.7:3) are four beast/kings who will arise out of the earth (Dan.7:17).
They will arise out of the bottomless pit (out of the earth - Dan.7:17) at the Fifth TRUMPET, First Woe (Re.9:1-2, 12).
The spiritual opening of the bottomless pit is in the Dead Sea, as it will be in the "new" earth (Re.21:1, Re.22:15, Isa.66:24).
These four kings’ four kingdoms will stand up out of a single nation (Dan.8:22) and in the latter time of their (plural) kingdom (singular), when the transgressors (the four kings) are come to the full, a king (the little horn – Dan.8:9, Dan.7:8) of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up (Dan.8:23, Re.13:11).
Once the four kings (transgressors) come to the full, the fourth king will be given (satanic) power TO CONTINUE forty and two months/1260 days/3 ½ years (Re.13:5 - a short space, Re.17:10) WITH the king of fierce countenance (Dan.8:23, Re.13:11-12), the false prophet.
AFTER the battle of Armageddon, the beast (Re.13:1, the fourth beast/king Dan.7:7, Dan.7:17) and the false prophet (Re.13:11, little horn Dan.7:8, king Dan.8:23) BOTH will be cast into a lake of fire (Dan.7:11, Re.19:20, Re.20:10, Re.21:8), the bottomless pit.
AS CONCERNING THE REST OF THE BEASTS (three - Dan.7:3, kings Dan.7:17), they had their dominion (singular) taken away (after the battle of Armageddon), yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time (Dan.7:12) beyond the battle.

The 144,000 and the Times of the Gentiles
The 144,000 are sealed that they will not see death AFTER the Sixth SEAL appearance of the Lord with power and majesty (Acts 2:20-21, Lk.21:25-27, Matt.24:29-30, Isa.13:6-8, Isa.13:9-11 Joel 2:31-32, Jer.30:7, Re.6:12-17), PRIOR TO the opening of the Seventh, and final, SEAL (Re.8:1-6).
The Sixth SEAL should not to be confused with the Seventh TRUMPET (1 Thess.4:16); these are separate events. There are seven-years between the Sixth SEAL and the Seventh TRUMPET.
The 144,000 will be sealed in Jerusalem (Eze.9:4). The 144,000 are those who are alive and remain (1 Thess.4:17). We will know that the sealing of the 144,000 will be taking place when we witness that the winds of the earth will have ceased to blow during the duration of the sealing (Re.7:1-4).
The Sixth SEAL appearance of the Lord will usher in the time of Jacob's trouble (Jer.30:7), the time of tribulation under the beasts of Revelation 13:1 and 13:11.
Heaven and earth will witness the Sixth SEAL event.
Witnessing the Lord's appearance as King of Kings, and Lord of Lords (Re.6:16, Lk. 21:27, Isa.2:19), Israel will no longer be partially blinded (Rom11:25 below) to the truth that Jesus Christ is the Messiah. Accepting Christ Jesus as their Savior, Israel will BECOME a "new creature" (2 Cor.5:17, Eze.36:26), they will BECOME fellowheirs of the living body of Christ Jesus (Col.1:24). They will have BECOME the church of God (1 Cor.10:32).
From the Sixth SEAL forward the world will consist of the church of God and Gentiles (1 Cor.10:32, Eph.2:12, Luke 21:24).
The 144,000 are in Christ Jesus. Note that directly after the Seventh TRUMPET ascension the 144,000 are standing on the heavenly mount Sion (Re.14:1, Heb.12:22) with the Lamb (the Savior).
At the Sixth SEAL, the fullness of the Gentiles (Ro.11:25) will come in. The times (years) of the Gentiles will be fulfilled/completed (Lk.21:24 below) at the Seventh TRUMPET (1 Thess.4:16-17).
Rom.11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
Luke 21:24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.

The World Moves Progressively toward Complete Evil
In the end time the world moves progressively toward COMPLETE evil.
The entire world’s leadership will follow the beasts of Revelation 13.
At the Sixth Plague the world is so completely evil that we see the Devil WITH the two beasts of Revelation 13 PRIOR TO the battle of Armageddon (Re.16:12-16 below).
The Devil will be manifested in the flesh as Gog.
Re.16:12 And the SIXTH angel poured out his vial upon the great river Eu-phra-tes; and the water thereof was dried up (Jer.51:36 below), that the way of the kings (Re.17:12-14) of the east might be PREPARED.
Re.16:13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon (Re.12:9, Re.20:2, Re.9:11), and out of the mouth of the beast (Re.13:1-8), and out of the mouth of the false prophet (Re.13:11-17).
Re.16:14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and the whole world, TO GATHER THEM TO THE BATTLE OF THAT GREAT DAY OF GOD ALMIGHTY (Re.19:19).
Re.16:16 And he (the Sixth Plague angel) GATHERED THEM TOGETHER INTO A PLACE (Jer.51:49) called in the Hebrew tongue Ar-ma-ged-don.

The Amen
At the beginning of the creation of God (of the heavens and the earth - Genesis chapter 1) the Amen, the faithful and true witness, was (Re.3:14 below).
The LORD, God Almighty, is the faithful and true witness (Jer.42:5, 1 Jn.5:20 below), the Amen (Re.3:14 below).
Re.3:14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things SAITH the Amen, the faithful and true witness (Jer.42:5 below), the beginning of the creation of God;
Jer.42:5 Then they said to Jeremiah, The LORD be a true and faithful witness (Re.3:14 above) between us, if we do not even according to all things for the which the LORD thy God shall send thee to us.
1 Jn.5:20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him (Re.3:14, Jer.42:5 above) that is true, and we are in him that is true, [even] in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God (Re.3:14, Jer.42:5 above), and eternal life.

The Armies in Heaven followed Him
In heaven the marriage of the Lamb has come and the Lamb’s wife has made herself ready (Re.19:7-8 below). The marriage of the Lamb occurs just prior to the battle of Armageddon. I believe the marriage of the Lamb occurs in heaven on the day that Mystery Babylon falls on earth (Re.18:8 below).
The bride of Christ Jesus makes up the armies that follow The Word of God (Re.19:13), the KING KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS (Re.19:16) to the battle.
Since it is “armies” (as opposed to “an army”) that follow the Lord (Re.19:14 below) to the battle of Armageddon, I am contemplating - could it be that since the church of God (1 Cor.10:32) comes out from every nation, peoples, and tongues (Re.10:11 below), if the “armies” of the Lord would be “armies” divided by the nations the saints of the most High came from throughout the ages?
Re.19:7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
Re.19:8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints (Re.19:14 below).
Re.18:8 Therefore shall her plagues come in ONE DAY (Jer.50:30), death, and mourning, and famine; and SHE SHALL BE UTTERLY BURNED WITH FIRE (Re.17:16): for strong is the Lord God who JUDGETH her (Jer.50:15).
Re.19:14 And the armies [which were] in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean (Re.19:8 above).
Re.10:11 And he (Re.10:1-2) said unto me, Thou (John) must prophesy AGAIN before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.

Re.19:7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
Re.19:8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints (Re.19:14 below).
Re.18:8 Therefore shall her plagues come in ONE DAY (Jer.50:30), death, and mourning, and famine; and SHE SHALL BE UTTERLY BURNED WITH FIRE (Re.17:16): for strong is the Lord God who JUDGETH her (Jer.50:15).
Re.19:14 And the armies [which were] in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean (Re.19:8 above).
Re.10:11 And he (Re.10:1-2) said unto me, Thou (John) must prophesy AGAIN before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.

Marriage in Heaven
The Apostle Paul, speaking to believers on Christ Jesus, declares that the church (1 Cor.10:32, Gal.1:13) is espoused to one husband, that the church are a chaste virgin to Christ (2 Cor.11:2, Eph.5:27 below).
The marriage of the Lamb occurs in heaven AFTER the Seventh Trumpet (1 Thess.4:16-17) just prior to the battle of Armageddon (Re.19:7-8 below).
The rest of the dead do not lived again until the thousand years are finished. This is the first resurrection (Re.20:5 below).
In the “new earth” those who are raised from the dead at the first resurrection (after the Millennium) do not marry (Matt.22:30, Mark 12:25 below).
2 Cor.11:2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present [you as] a chaste virgin to Christ (Eph.5:27, Re.19:7-8 below).
Eph.5:27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church (2 Cor.11:2 above), not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
Re.19:7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
Re.19:8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
Re.20:5 But THE REST OF THE DEAD LIVED NOT AGAIN UNTIL THE THOUSAND YEARS WERE FINISHED. This is the first resurrection.
Matt.22:30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
Mark 12:25 For when they shall rise from the dead (Matt.22:30 above), they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.

Certain of Israel were Elected to See
Certain of Israel were elected to see that Jesus is the Messiah (Rom.11:7 below); the rest were given the spirit of slumber, eyes that will not see and ears that will not hear (Rom11:8 below) the truth.
At the Sixth SEAL (Re.6:12-17), when the fullness of the Gentiles comes in, the partial blindness of Israel will be lifted (Rom.11:25 below); then Israel will know that Jesus is the Messiah.
Rom.11:7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the ELECTION HATH OBTAINED IT, and THE REST WERE BLINDED (Rom.11:25 below)
Rom.11:8 (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day.
Rom.11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits, that blindness in part is happened to Israel (Rom.11:7-8 above), until the fulness of the Gentiles (1 Thess.4:5, Eph.2:12) be come in.
Sixth SEAL
Re.6:12 And I beheld when he had opened the SIXTH SEAL, and, lo, there was a GREAT EARTHQUAKE; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood (Acts.2:20, Joel 2:31);
Re.6:13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth (Matt.24:29), even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
Re.6:14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and EVERY MOUNTAIN (Ps.104:6) AND ISLAND WERE MOVED OUT OF THEIR PLACES (Isa.2:19).
Re.6:15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains (Isa.2:19, Isa.13:7-8);
Re.6:16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of HIM THAT SITTETH ON THE THRONE (Lk.21:27, Isa.2:19), and from THE WRATH OF THE LAMB (Re.6:17):
Re.6:17 For the GREAT DAY OF HIS WRATH IS COME (Re.6:16 above, Joel 2:31, Jer.30:7 below); and who shall be able to stand (Lk.21:36)?

The Eighth of the Seven
To understand who the “other is not yet come” and “he is the eighth, and is of the seven” (Re.17:10-11 below), we need to know that end-time prophecy is confronted with three separate and unique evil entities (Re.16:13 below). There is the dragon/Satan, the beast of Revelation 13:1, and the beast of Revelation 13:11.
It is the beast of Revelation 13:1 who is “to continue” (Re.13:5 below) along WITH the beast of Revelation 13:11 for an ADDITIONAL three and one-half years, a short space (Re.17:10 above).
The beast of Revelation 13:1 is the other who is not yet come, and the beast of Revelation 13:11 is the eighth, who is of the seven (Re.17:10-11 above).
The beast of Revelation 13:1 is seen in the book of Daniel chapter 7 as the fourth beast/king. He is a man/king and has the number 666 (Re.13:18).
At Revelation 13:1 we are seeing the fourth beast of Daniel chapter 7 "rise up out of the sea" (Dan.7:3), "out of the earth" (Dan.7:17), out of the bottomless pit (Re.9:1-2, Re.17:8), hell.
The beast of Revelation 13:11 is seen in the book of Daniel as the "another" "little horn/king" (Dan.7:20, Dan.7:24, Dan.7:25, Dan.8:9, Dan.8:11, Dan.8:23-25, Dan.11:36-38). He is the false prophet (Re.16:13 below, Re.19:20). He is a man/king; he will not regard the God of his fathers (Dan.11:37).
After the fourth beast/king (Dan.7:7), seen in the book of Revelation as the beast of Revelation 13:1, comes upon the world scene, "another" beast/king comes up "out of the earth" (Re.13:11, Re.11:7), as did the first four beasts/kings (Dan.7:3, Dan.7:17).
Once the little horn/king of Daniel, the "another" beast of Revelation 13:11, sits in the temple of God showing himself that he is God (2 Thess.2:4), he is seen as the scarlet colored beast of Revelation chapter 17, who has ascended out of the bottomless pit (Re.17:8).
The beasts/kings of Daniel/Revelation all come out of the bottomless pit. Their identities will not be known until they ascend out of the bottomless pit at the Fifth Trumpet (Re.9:1-2).
The spiritual opening of the bottomless pit (Re.9:1-2, Isa.38:18, Ps.28:1) is in the Dead Sea. The Dead Sea is outside of Jerusalem, and will be outside of that great city, the holy Jerusalem (Re.21:10) in the new earth. In the new earth there is no more sea (Re.21:1). In the new earth, all those who have transgressed against God will be looked upon (Isa.66:24, Re.14:10) .
Satan gives these beasts/kings their power (Re.13:2, Re.13:12).
Re.17:10 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.
Re.17:11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition (Re.17:8).
Re.16:13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon (Re.12:9, Re.20:2, Re.9:11), and out of the mouth of the beast (Re.13:1-8), and out of the mouth of the false prophet (Re.13:11-17).
Re.13:5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to CONTINUE forty and two months (1260 days/3 ½ years).

In Eternity - Israel and Judah in their Own Land
In Eternity we see Israel and Judah dwelling in their own land. They shall dwell in the land that God gave to Jacob (Amos 9:15), where their fathers had dwelt (Gen.13:17, Gen.15:18, Gen.17:19, Gen.28:3-4, Gen.28:13); and they will dwell therein, THEY AND THEIR CHILDREN, AND THEIR CHILDREN’S CHILDREN For Ever, and David shall be their prince FOR EVER (Eze.37:12-25 below).
Eze.37:12 Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.
Eze.37:13 And ye shall know that I [am] the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves,
Eze.37:14 And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land (Eze.37:21 below): then shall ye know that I the LORD have spoken [it], and performed [it], saith the LORD.
Eze.37:15 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
Eze.37:16 Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and [for] all the house of Israel his companions:
Eze.37:17 And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in thine hand (Eze.37:19 below).
Eze.37:18 And when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not shew us what thou [meanest] by these?
Eze.37:19 Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which [is] in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, [even] with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand.
Eze.37:20 And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thine hand before their eyes.
Eze.37:21 And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land:
Eze.37:22 And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel (Gen.13:17, Gen.15:18, Gen.28:3-4, Gen.28:13 above); and one king shall be king to them all (Eze.37:24-25 below): and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all:
Eze.37:23 Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwellingplaces, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God.
Eze.37:24 And David my servant [shall be] king over them (Eze.37:22 above, Eze.37:25 below); and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them (Mal.4:4).
Eze.37:25 And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, [even] they, and their children, and their children's children for ever (Gen.13:17, Gen.15:18, Gen.17:19, Gen.28:3-4, Gen.28:13 above): and my servant David [shall be] their prince FOR EVER.

Eternal Life in Eternity with our Lineage
Christ chose us (the church – 1 Cor.10:32) before the foundation of the world that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love (Eph.1:4), and He gave those He chose eternal life (Jn.10:28-29, Jn.3:36, Jn.17:2).
Having been given eternal life, we in Christ Jesus are passed from death unto life (Jn.5:24) immediately upon death, never to die, to live with God in Eternity (Isa.57:15), in His kingdom (Dan.7:18, Dan.7:22), an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled that does not fade away (1 Pe.1:3-4).
We are of the household of God (Eph.2:19).
I believe that all our saved family members will be with us in God’s kingdom, those that went before us and those who will come after us. I believe we will have fellowship with our entire lineage of those in faith from beginning to last.
In the height of heaven (Job 22:12), in the third heaven (2 Cor.12:2) God inhabits eternity (Isa.57:15) and dwells in Zion (Joel 3:21, Ps.23:6), the city of the living God (Heb.12:22).

The Time of Jacob’s Trouble
The Sixth Seal appearance of the Lord (Re.6:12-17) begins the time of Jacob’s trouble (Jer.30:7 below).
During that time, the saints of the most High will face the tribulation under the beasts of Revelation chapter 13 (Dan.7:21, Dan.7:25, Dan.8:24, Re.12:17, Re.13:7, Re.13:15, Re.16:6, Re.17:6, Dan.12:6-7 below).
The time of tribulation will be a heart wrenching prayerful time for the church (1 Cor.10:32).
Jer.30:7 Alas! for that DAY (Re.6:17 above) is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.
Re.6:17 For the GREAT DAY OF HIS WRATH IS COME (Re.6:16 above, Joel 2:31, Jer.30:7 below); and who shall be able to stand (Lk.21:36 below)?
Dan.7:21 I beheld, and the same (little) horn (king) MADE WAR WITH THE SAINTS, and prevailed against them (Dan.7:25);
Dan. 7:25 And he (the little horn/king, Dan.7:8, Dan.7:24) shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High (Re.15:3), and think to change times and laws (Re.13:15, Dan.11:31): and they (the saints) shall be given into his hand until A TIME and TIMES and THE DIVIDING OF TIME (3 ½ years/1260 days)

Re.12:17 And the DRAGON (Re.12:9, Re.20:2) was wroth with the woman (the church of God, 1 Cor.10:32, Col.1:22, Col.1:24), and WENT TO MAKE WAR WITH THE REMNANT (the rest) OF HER SEED, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Re. 13:7 And it was given unto him (the beast of Re.13:1) TO MAKE WAR WITH THE SAINTS, AND TO OVERCOME THEM: and (Satanic) power was given him (Re.13:2) over ALL kindreds, and tongues, and nations (Dan.7:23, Re.17:15).
Re.13:15 And he (another beast coming up out of the earth, Re.13:11) had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as WOULD NOT WORSHIP the IMAGE of the beast SHOULD BE KILLED.
Re. 16:6 For they (those who had the mark of the beast, and those who worshipped his image) have shed the blood of SAINTS and PROPHETS, and thou hast given them blood to drink (Re.16:4); for they are worthy (of this punishment).
Re. 17:6 And I saw the woman (that great city Babylon, Re.17:5) drunken with the blood of the SAINTS (Dan.7:21, Re.13:7, Re.13:15, Re.11:7), and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus (Re.18:24): and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
Dan. 12:6 And one said to the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the END of these wonders?
Dan.12:7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for A TIME, TIMES, AND AN HALF (3 ½ years or 1260 days); and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people (Dan.8:24, Re.11:3, Re.11:7), all these things shall be FINISHED (Re.10:7).

During that time, the saints of the most High will face the tribulation under the beasts of Revelation chapter 13 (Dan.7:21, Dan.7:25, Dan.8:24, Re.12:17, Re.13:7, Re.13:15, Re.16:6, Re.17:6, Dan.12:6-7 below).

Dan.7:21 I beheld, and the same (little) horn (king) MADE WAR WITH THE SAINTS, and prevailed against them (Dan.7:25);
Dan. 7:25 And he (the little horn/king, Dan.7:8, Dan.7:24) shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High (Re.15:3), and think to change times and laws (Re.13:15, Dan.11:31): and they (the saints) shall be given into his hand until A TIME and TIMES and THE DIVIDING OF TIME (3 ½ years/1260 days)

Sixth and Seventh Seals and Seventh Trumpet Earthquakes
The Sixth SEAL’s great earthquake (Re.6:12 below) will move every mountain (continent – Ps.104:6) and island out of their places (Re.6:14). The continents will be adrift.
The Seventh SEAL’s earthquake will occur the following day after the Sixth Seal. I believe the Seventh Seal’s earthquake will be more like an aftershock caused by the Sixth Seal’s great earthquake. At the Seventh Seal the seven trumpets are GIVEN and PREPARE themselves to sound (Re.8:6)
At the Seventh TRUMPET (1 Thess.4:16-17), the same hour there is a great earthquake, and the TENTH PART of the city falls. In that Seventh Trumpet earthquake seven thousand men (heathen) are slain. At the Seventh Trumpet, the remnant (Re.11:13, Zeph.3:13 - the 144,000) are in the city giving glory to God.
Sixth SEAL
Re.6:12 And I beheld when he had opened the Sixth SEAL, and, lo, there was a GREAT EARTHQUAKE; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood (Acts.2:20, Joel 2:31);
Seventh SEAL
Re.8:5 And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.
Seventh TRUMPET
Re.11:13 And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the CITY (Re.11:8) fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the REMNANT (Zeph.3:13 below, Re.14:1, Re.14:3) were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.
Zeph.3:13 The REMNANT OF ISRAEL (Re.11:13 above) shall not do iniquity, nor speak lies; neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth: for they shall feed and lie down, and none shall make them afraid.

Ezekiel 39 at the Sixth Seal, from that Day FORWARD
From the Sixth SEAL appearance of the Lord with power and majesty (Re.6:12-17) FORWARD (Eze.39:22 below) the house of Israel will know that Jesus Christ is the Lord their God (Eze.39 below).
At the Sixth SEAL, the partial blindness of Israel will be lifted and the fullness of the Gentiles will come in (Rom.11:25).
Eze.39:7 So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel (Eze.39:22 below); and I will not let them pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel.
Eze.39:8 Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord GOD; this is the DAY (Eze.39:22 below) whereof I have spoken.
Eze.39:22 So the house of Israel shall know that I am the LORD their God FROM THAT DAY (Eze.39:8 above, 1 Thess.5:2, Acts 2:20, Isa.13:6-11, Joel 2:31, Rev.16:17) AND FORWARD.
Eze.39:23 And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity: because they trespassed against me, therefore hid I my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies: so fell they all by the sword.
Eze.39:24 According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions have I done unto them, and hid my face from them.
Eze.39:25 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Now will I bring again the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and will be jealous for my holy name;
Eze.39:26 After that they have borne their shame, and all their trespasses whereby they have trespassed against me, when they dwelt safely in their land, and none made them afraid.
Eze.39:27 When I have brought them again from the people, and gathered them out of their enemies' lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations;
Eze.39:28 Then shall they know that I am the LORD their God, which caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them unto their own land, and have left none of them any more there.
Eze.39:29 Neither will I hide my face any more from them: for I have poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.

Ezekiel 39:9-16 - After the battle of Armageddon, during the Millennium
Satan is manifested as this man Gog.
Gog is buried and all his multitude (Eze.39:11 below).
In death this evil spiritual entity (Satan/Gog) is then bound in the bottomless pit throughout the Millennium (Re.20:1-3 below).
Eze.39:9 And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall set on fire and burn the weapons (Ps.46:9 below), both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the handstaves, and the spears, and they shall burn them with fire seven years:
Eze.39:10 So that they shall take no wood out of the field, neither cut down any out of the forests; for they shall burn the weapons with fire: and they shall spoil those that spoiled them, and rob those that robbed them, saith the Lord GOD.
Eze.39:11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog a place there OF GRAVES IN Israel, the valley of the passengers on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and THERE SHALL THEY BURY Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call it The valley of Hamongog.
Eze.39:12 And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them, THAT THEY MAY CLEANSE THE LAND.
Eze.39:13 Yea, all the people of the land shall bury them; and it shall be to them a renown the day that I shall be glorified, saith the Lord GOD.
Eze.39:14 And they shall sever out men of continual employment, passing through the land to bury with the passengers those that remain upon the face of the earth, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall they search.
Eze.39:15 And the passengers that pass through the land, when any seeth a man's bone, then shall he set up a sign by it, till the buriers have buried it in the valley of Hamongog.
Eze.39:16 And also the name of the city shall be Hamonah. Thus shall they cleanse the land.
Ps.46:9 He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariot in the fire (Eze.39:9-10 above).
Re.20:1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit (Re.9:1) and a great chain in his hand.
Re.20:2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
Re.20:3 And cast him into the bottomless pit (Re:9:1-2, Re.11:7, Re.17:8 above), and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, TILL THE THOUSAND YEARS SHOULD BE FULFILLED: and AFTER THAT he must be loosed a little season.

Ezekiel 39 at the Battle of Armageddon - Ezekiel 39:1-5, 17-20
Gog is Satan (the Dragon). Gog is the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal (Eze.39:1 below). It would not surprise me if Meshech is the beast of Revelation 13:1 and that Tubal the beast of Revelation 13:11?
At the Sixth Plague the way is PREPARED to fight the battle of Armageddon (Re.16:12-16).
The Dragon (Satan), the beast of Re.13:1 and the beast of Re.13:11 (the false prophet) are at the battle of Armageddon (Re.16:13-14, Re.19:20).
The armies (Re.19:19) that come against the Lord at the battle of Armageddon include ALL heathen except for ONE SIXTH PART (Eze.39:2 below) who will remain alive to go into the Millennium.
The church (1 Cor.10:32) throughout all ages, the Lamb’s wife (Re.19:7-8), will all be in heaven at the Seventh TRUMPET (1 Thess.4:16-17); they are the armies that accompany the Lamb to the battle (Re.19:14).
Eze.39:1 Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
Eze.39:2 And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel:
Eze.39:3 And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand.
Eze.39:4 Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands, and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured (Eze.39:17).
Eze.39:5 Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
Eze.39:17 And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; Speak unto every feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood.
Eze.39:18 Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan.
Eze.39:19 And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.
Eze.39:20 Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war (Re.19:17-18, 21 below), saith the Lord GOD.
Re.19:17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;
Re.19:18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great (Eze.39:17-18 above).
Re.19:21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth (Re.19:15, 2 Thess.2:8): and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.

The End-Time Role of the Four Beasts of Daniel chapter 7
The four beasts of Daniel chapter 7 have an end-time role AFTER the Sixth SEAL (Re.6:12-17).
The four beasts of Daniel chapter 7 are four kings who come up from the sea (Dan.7:3) arising out of the earth (Dan.7:17).
These four beasts/kings ascend from the bottomless pit once it has been opened at the Fifth TRUMPET, the First Woe (Re.9:1-2, 12). These four beasts/kings ascend out of the bottomless pit at the same time.
These four beasts/kings are "the transgressors" and are of a single nation with a plural kingdom (Dan.8:22-23).
AFTER the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up (Dan.8:23). He is the little horn (Dan.7:8), the false prophet. He also ascends from the bottomless pit (Re.11:7, Re.17:8, Isa.38:18, Ps.28:1).
The fourth beast of Daniel chapter 7 is seen in the book of Revelation as the beast of Revelation 13:1.
The little horn/false prophet is seen in the book of Revelation as the beast of Revelation 13:11, and he is also seen as the scarlet-colored beast once he sits in the temple of God showing himself that he is God (2 Thess.2:4).
The ten horns on the scarlet-colored beast’s head (Re.17:3) will have power as kings for ONE HOUR with the scarlet-colored beast (Re.17:12), one hour before the battle of Armageddon is fought (Re.19:11-21).
AFTER the battle of Armageddon, the first three beasts/kings of the four beasts/kings (Dan.7:3, Dan.7:17) will have their lives prolonged for a season and time beyond the destruction of the fourth beast/king and the false prophet at the battle of Armageddon (Dan.7:11-12, Re.19:20).
The spiritual opening of the bottomless pit (Re.9:1-2, Isa.38:18, Ps.28:1) is in the Dead Sea. The Dead Sea is outside of Jerusalem, and will be outside of that great city, the holy Jerusalem (Re.21:10) in the new earth. In the new earth there is no more sea (Re.21:1). In the new earth, all those who have transgressed against God will be looked upon (Isa.66:24, Re.14:10)

The four beasts of Daniel chapter 7 are four kings who come up from the sea (Dan.7:3) arising out of the earth (Dan.7:17).
These four beasts/kings ascend from the bottomless pit once it has been opened at the Fifth TRUMPET, the First Woe (Re.9:1-2, 12). These four beasts/kings ascend out of the bottomless pit at the same time.
These four beasts/kings are "the transgressors" and are of a single nation with a plural kingdom (Dan.8:22-23).
AFTER the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up (Dan.8:23). He is the little horn (Dan.7:8), the false prophet. He also ascends from the bottomless pit (Re.11:7, Re.17:8, Isa.38:18, Ps.28:1).
The fourth beast of Daniel chapter 7 is seen in the book of Revelation as the beast of Revelation 13:1.
The little horn/false prophet is seen in the book of Revelation as the beast of Revelation 13:11, and he is also seen as the scarlet-colored beast once he sits in the temple of God showing himself that he is God (2 Thess.2:4).
The ten horns on the scarlet-colored beast’s head (Re.17:3) will have power as kings for ONE HOUR with the scarlet-colored beast (Re.17:12), one hour before the battle of Armageddon is fought (Re.19:11-21).
AFTER the battle of Armageddon, the first three beasts/kings of the four beasts/kings (Dan.7:3, Dan.7:17) will have their lives prolonged for a season and time beyond the destruction of the fourth beast/king and the false prophet at the battle of Armageddon (Dan.7:11-12, Re.19:20).
The spiritual opening of the bottomless pit (Re.9:1-2, Isa.38:18, Ps.28:1) is in the Dead Sea. The Dead Sea is outside of Jerusalem, and will be outside of that great city, the holy Jerusalem (Re.21:10) in the new earth. In the new earth there is no more sea (Re.21:1). In the new earth, all those who have transgressed against God will be looked upon (Isa.66:24, Re.14:10)

Peace and Safety then sudden Destruction
I believe that once we arrive at that point when Israel and their enemies shall say “Peace and safety” (1 Thess.5:2-3 below) that then we will have the “sudden destruction” that will occur at the Sixth SEAL (Re.6:12-17, Lk.17:24, Lk.21:34, Joel 1:15, Joel 2:31, Acts 2:20, Isa.2:19, Isa.13:6-11 below).
1 Thess.5:2 For yourselves know perfectly that the DAY (Lk.17:24, Lk.21:34, Joel 1:15, Joel 2:31, Re.6:17 below) of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night (Matt.24:42, Matt.24:44 below).
1 Thess.5:3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
Matt.24:42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
Matt.24:44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
Lk.17:24 For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one [part] under heaven, shineth unto the other [part] under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his DAY (Re.6:17 below.
Lk.21:34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and [so] that DAY come upon you unawares.
Joel 1:15 Alas for the day! For the DAY of the LORD [is] at hand (Joel 2:31 below), and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come (Isa.13:6, 9 below).
Joel 2:31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, belore the great and the terrible DAY (Re.6:17 below) of the Lord come.
Acts 2:20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, BEFORE that great and notable DAY (Re.6:12 below, Joel 2:31 above) of the Lord come:
Isa.2:19 And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty (Re.6:16 below), when he ariseth TO SHAKE TERRIBLY THE EARTH.
Isa.13:6 Howl ye; for the DAY of the Lord is at hand (Re.16:17, Acts 2:20, Joel 2:31, Jer.30:7, Joel 1:15); it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.
Isa.13: 7 Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man’s heart shall melt (Re.6:15-16 below):
Isa.13: 8 And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames. (Lk.21:26).
Isa.13:9 Behold, the DAY of the Lord cometh (1 Thess.5:2 above), cruel both with wrath and fierce anger (Re.6:17 below, Isa.13:6 above), to lay the land desolate (Re.6:14 below): and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it (Re.6:15-16 below).
Isa.13:10 For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine (Re.6:12 below).
Isa.13:11 And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.
Re.6:12 And I beheld when he had opened the Sixth SEAL, and, lo, there was a GREAT EARTHQUAKE; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood (Acts.2:20, Joel 2:31 above);
Re.6:13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth (Matt.24:29), even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
Re.6:14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and EVERY MOUNTAIN (Ps.104:6 below) AND ISLAND WERE MOVED OUT OF THEIR PLACES (Isa.2:19).
Re.6:15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains (Isa.2:19, Isa.13:7-8 above);
Re.6:16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of HIM THAT SITTETH ON THE THRONE (Lk.21:27, Isa.2:19), and from THE WRATH OF THE LAMB (Re.6:17 below):
Re.6:17 For the GREAT DAY OF HIS WRATH IS COME (Re.6:16 above, Joel 2:31, Jer.30:7); and who shall be able to stand (Lk.21:36)?

The Woman fleas into the Wilderness
Revelation 12:6 (below) reveals exactly how long Jesus, Mary and Joseph where in Egypt. Jesus (who would BECOME the chief corner stone – Eph.2:20), Mary and Joseph where the first of the church of God (1 Cor.10:32). The woman (Re.12:6 below) represents the church.
Revelation chapter 12 speaks of the persecution of the church. The first half of the chapter references the persecution of the early church – Jesus, Mary and Joseph. The last half of the chapter references the persecution of the church after the 1335 days (Dan.12:12) prior to the ascension (1 Thess.4:16-17).
Mary, blessed among women (Lk.1:48), gave birth to God (John 1:1-3, 14, Re.1:6), the Lamb, her Savior (Lk.1:47), as He is to all who come to Him, throughout all ages.
The stone which the builders refused (Ps.118:22), would become “the head stone of the corner” of the church, Jesus’ living body. Therefore, Mary would become the mother of the church (1 Cor.10:32), Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone (Eph.2:20).
The partial blindness of Israel will be lifted at the Sixth Seal (Re.6:12-17). From that day and forward (Eze.39:22) the house of Israel will know that Jesus is the Messiah.
A portion (the 144,000) of the woman (the church) will flea again, after the 1335 days (Dan.12:12) prior to the ascension. The 144,000 will flea from the tribulation. The 144,000 will be protected. They are the remnant who are alive and remain (1 Thess.4:17) and are those seen in the city giving glory to God just prior to the ascension (Re.11:13).
The rest of the woman’s seed (the church) will face the tribulation (Re.12:17).
Re.12:6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed here there a thousand two hundred and threescore days (1260 days/three and one half years).
Re.12:14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time (1260 days/three and one half years), from the face of the Serpent (Re.12:9).

The Cities of the Nations fall - Babylon comes in Remembrance before God
At the Seventh (and final) Plague a great earthquake (Re.16:17-18 below) divides the great CITY Babylon into three parts; the cities of the nations fall, and great Babylon comes into remembrance before God to give her the fierceness of His wrath (Re.16:19 below).
At the Sixth SEAL (an event occurring prior to PLAGUE events) there will be a great earthquake (Re.6:12), which will move every mountain (continent – Ps.104:6 below) and island out of their places (Re.6:14); an earthquake so catastrophic that it will cause the continents and islands to begin to drift.
At the Seventh PLAGUE (Re.16:17 below), the cities of the nations will fall (Re.16:19 below). Every island will be gone and every mountain (continent - Ps.104:6 below) will be no more (Re.16:20 below) as the continents collide (at the fall of Babylon - Jer.50:46 below), to come together as one landmass.
The ten horns will hate the whore (Babylon), and God will put in their hearts to fulfill his will; in one day Babylon will be utterly destroyed (Re.17:16-17, Re.18:8-9, Re.18:18 below).
The ten horns “kingship” will be brief; ONE HOUR (Re.17:12 below), just prior to the battle of Armageddon.
Re.16:17 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.
Re.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.
Re.1619 And the great city (Babylon - Re.17:18, Re.18:10, Re.18:;16, Re.18:18 below, Re.11:8, Isa.1:21) was divided into three parts, and THE CITIES OF THE NATIONS FELL (Jer.50:46 below): and great Babylon CAME IN REMEMBRANCE before God (Re.18:5 below), TO GIVE unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
Re.16:20 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found (Ps.104.6 below).
Re.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.
Ps.104:6 Thou coveredst it (the earth) with the deep as [with] a garment: the waters stood above the mountains.
Jer.50:46 At the noise of the taking of Babylon the earth is moved, and the cry is heard among the nations (Re.16:18-20 above).
Re.17:12 And the TEN HORNS which thou sawest are TEN KINGS, which have received no kingdom (Re.17:17 below) as yet; but receive power as kings ONE HOUR WITH the (scarlet coloured) beast.
Re.17:16 And the TEN HORNS (Re.17:12 above) which thou sawest upon the (scarlet coloured) beast, THESE SHALL HATE THE WHORE (Babylon - Re.17:1, Re.17:5), and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire (Re.18:8-9 below).
Re.17:17 For God hath put in their hearts (the ten horns) to fulfill his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom (Re.17:12 above) unto the (scarlet coloured) beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
Re.17:18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great CITY (Babylon), which reigneth over the kings of the earth (Re.18:9 below).
Re.18:5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God HATH REMEMBERED her iniquities (Re.16:19 above).
Re.18:8 Therefore shall her plagues come in ONE DAY (Jer.50:30 below), death, and mourning, and famine; and SHE SHALL BE UTTERLY BURNED WITH FIRE (Re.17:16 above): for strong is the Lord God who JUDGETH her (Jer.50:15).
Re.18:9 And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her (Re.18:3), shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning (Re.17:16, Re.18:8 above, Re.19:3),
Re.18:10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great CITY Babylon, that mighty city (Re.17:18 above)! for IN ONE HOUR (Re.18:17 below) IS THY JUDGMENT COME (Jer.50:15).
Re.18:16 And saying, Alas, alas, that GREAT CITY (Re.18:21, Re.11:8, Isa.1:21), that was clothed in FINE LINEN, AND PURPLE, AND SCARLET, AND DECKED WITH GOLD, AND PRECIOUS STONES, AND PEARLS (Re.17:4, Dan.11:38)!
Re.18:17 For in ONE HOUR (Re.18:10 above, Re.18:19 below) 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.
Re.18:18 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning (Re.17:16, Re.18:8-9 above), saying, What CITY is like unto this GREAT CITY (Re.18:16 above)!
Re.18:19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great CITY (Re.17:18, Re.18:18 above), wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in ONE HOUR is she made desolate (Re.18:10, Re.18:17 above).
Jer.50:30 Therefore shall her young men fall in the streets, and all her men of war shall be cut off in that DAY (Re.18:8 above), saith the Lord.

Revelation chapters 15,19, 20 - Three Separate Events
The events referenced at Revelation chapters fifteen, nineteen, and twenty are each separate prophetic events, all of which occur AFTER the Seventh Trumpet (1 Thess.4:16-17) ascension.
FROM the Seventh Trumpet the entire body of Christ throughout all ages are in heaven.
At Revelation 15:2 we see those blessed who have to come to the 1335 days (Dan.12:12) prior to the ascension, those who have gotten the victory . . ., standing on the sea of glass in heaven just prior to the Seven Last Plagues being poured out upon the earth (Re.16:1 below).
Mystery Babylon has come into remembrance before God (Re.16:19) and has been destroyed, and the marriage of the Lamb has taken place (Re.19:1-9) PRIOR TO the battle of Armageddon (Re.19:11-21).
The Lamb’s wife has made herself ready (Re.19:7) and are the armies that follow the Lord to the battle.
Directly after the battle of Armageddon, Gog (Satan) is cast into the bottomless pit (Re.20:1-3 below).
Judgment is given to the saints of the most High (1 Cor.6:2-3, Dan.7:22, Re.20:4); saints of the most High will live AND reign with Christ throughout the Millennium.
Seven Last Plagues
Re.15:1 And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God.
Re.15:2 And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, [and] over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.
Re.15:3 And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous [are] thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true [are] thy ways, thou King of saints.
Re.15:4 Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for [thou] only [art] holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest.
Re.15:5 And after that I looked, and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened:
Re.15:6 And the seven angels came out of the temple, having the seven plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and having their breasts girded with golden girdles.
Re.15:7 And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who liveth for ever and ever.
Re.15:8 And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power; and no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled.
Re.16:1 And I heard a great voice out of the temple (Re.15:5 above) saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God (Re.15:7 above, Re.16:9) upon the earth.
Battle of Armageddon
Re.19:11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him [was] called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
Re.19:12 His eyes [were] as a flame of fire, and on his head [were] many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
Re.19:13 And he [was] clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
Re.19:14 And the armies [which were] in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
Re.19:15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
Re.19:16 And he hath on [his] vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
Re.19:17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;
Re.19:18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all [men, both] free and bond, both small and great.
Re.19:19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.
Re.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.
Re.19:21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which [sword] proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.
After the battle of Armageddon
Re.20:1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
Re.20:2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
Re.20:3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
Re.20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and [I saw] the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received [his] mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived AND reigned with Christ a thousand years.
Re.20:5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This [is] the first resurrection.

FROM the Seventh Trumpet the entire body of Christ throughout all ages are in heaven.
At Revelation 15:2 we see those blessed who have to come to the 1335 days (Dan.12:12) prior to the ascension, those who have gotten the victory . . ., standing on the sea of glass in heaven just prior to the Seven Last Plagues being poured out upon the earth (Re.16:1 below).
Mystery Babylon has come into remembrance before God (Re.16:19) and has been destroyed, and the marriage of the Lamb has taken place (Re.19:1-9) PRIOR TO the battle of Armageddon (Re.19:11-21).
The Lamb’s wife has made herself ready (Re.19:7) and are the armies that follow the Lord to the battle.
Directly after the battle of Armageddon, Gog (Satan) is cast into the bottomless pit (Re.20:1-3 below).
Judgment is given to the saints of the most High (1 Cor.6:2-3, Dan.7:22, Re.20:4); saints of the most High will live AND reign with Christ throughout the Millennium.

Ezekiel 37:12-15 - Israel, Judah, and saints of the most High in the NEW Earth
In the “new” earth, Israel and Judah will live in their own land (Eze.37:14), and they shall dwell in the land that God gave to Jacob (Amos 9:15), where their fathers HAD dwelt (Gen.13:17, Gen.15:18, Gen.17:19, Gen.28:3-4, Gen.28:13); and they will dwell therein, THEY AND THEIR CHILDREN, AND THEIR CHILDREN’S CHILDREN for ever, and David shall be their prince for ever (Eze.37:12-25).
In the “new” earth, the saints of the most High will POSSESS THE KINGDOM of God for ever, even for ever and ever (Dan.7:18, Dan.7:22). Saints of the most High are of the household of God (Eph.2:19).
Eze.37:12 Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.
Eze.37:13 And ye shall know that I [am] the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves,
Eze.37:14 And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall you know that I the LORD have spoken it, and performed it, saith the LORD.
Eze.37:15 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
Eze.37:16 Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and [for] all the house of Israel his companions:
Eze.37:17 And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in thine hand (Eze.37:19).
Eze.37:18 And when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not shew us what thou [meanest] by these?
Eze.37:19 Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which [is] in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, [even] with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand.
Eze.37:20 And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thine hand before their eyes.
Eze.37:21 And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land:
Eze.37:22 And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel (Gen.13:17, Gen.15:18, Gen.28:3-4, Gen.28:13); and one king shall be king to them all (Eze.37:24-25 below): and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all:
Eze.37:23 Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwelling places, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God.
Eze.37:24 And David my servant [shall be] king over them (Eze.37:22 above, Eze.37:25 below); and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them (Mal.4:4).
Eze.37:25 And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, [even] they, and their children, and their children's children for ever (Gen.13:17, Gen.15:18, Gen.17:19, Gen.28:3-4, Gen.28:13): and my servant David [shall be] their prince FOR EVER.

Mystery Babylon falls AFTER it comes in Remembrance before God
TRUMPETS follow SEALS followed by the Seven Last PLAGUES.
The fall of Mystery Babylon is a PLAGUE event.
Mystery Babylon comes into remembrance before God to give to her the fierceness of His wrath (Re.16:19 below) at the Seventh, and final, PLAGUE (Re.16:17-21).
Mystery Babylon will fall just prior to the battle of Armageddon (Re.19:11-21).
The entire body of Christ throughout all ages will be in heaven at the Seventh TRUMPET (1 Thess.4:16-17).
Note Revelation 15:2 (below): The last of the church of God (1 Cor.10:32), those who have come to the 1335 days (Dan.12:12, Re.14:12-13) prior to the Seventh Trumpet (1 Thess.4:16-17) ascension, those who have gained the victory over the beast are in heaven BEFORE the Seven Last Plagues are to be poured out upon the heathen (Re.15:1-2, Re.15:4, Re.16:1 below)
Re.16:19 And the great city (Babylon - Re.17:18, Re.18:10, Re.18:;16, Re.18:18, Re.11:8, Isa.1:21) was divided into three parts, and THE CITIES OF THE NATIONS FELL (Jer.50:46): and great Babylon CAME IN REMEMBRANCE before God (Re.18:5), TO GIVE unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
Re.15:1 And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous, seven angels HAVING THE SEVEN LAST PLAGUES; for in them is filled up the wrath of God (Re.15:7).
Re.15:2 And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten (past tense) the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.
Re.15:4 Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? For thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest. (The Seventh Last Plagues are about to be poured out - Re.16:1).
Re.16:1 And I heard a great voice out of the temple (Re.15:5) saying to the seven (plague) angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God (Re.15:7, Re.16:9) upon the earth.

The Heart of the Earth
After Jesus’ crucifixion, Jesus spent three days and three nights IN THE HEART OF THE EARTH (Matt.12:40 below).
Jesus spent these days in the paradise of God (Lk.23:43 below).
The “heart of the earth” (Matt.12:40 below) is not the CORE of the earth.
Jesus was crucified at Jerusalem. At Jesus’ resurrection in Jerusalem, Jesus spoke to Mary outside of the tomb before He ascended to heaven.
The “heart of the earth” is at Jerusalem.
Matt.12:40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights IN THE HEART OF THE EARTH.
Luke 23:43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise.

Wisdom was with the LORD in the Beginning of His Way
Wisdom was with the LORD in the beginning of His way, before His works of old. The LORD possessed Wisdom; Wisdom was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was (Prov.8:22-23 below).
When there were no depths, Wisdom was BROUGHT FORTH; when there were no fountains abounding with water; before the mountains were settled, before the hills Wisdom was brought forth (Prov.8:24-25 below).
While as yet He (the LORD – Prov.8:22 below) had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world; when He prepared the heavens, Wisdom was there: when He set a compass upon the face of the depth; when He established the clouds above: when He strengthened the fountains of the deep. When He gave to the sea His decree, that the waters should not pass His commandment: when He appointed the foundations of the earth, then Wisdom was by the LORD as one brought up with Him: and Wisdom was the LORD’s delight daily, Wisdom rejoicing always before Him. (Prov.8:26-30 below).
Prov.8:22 The LORD possessed me (wisdom) in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.
Prov.8:23 I (wisdom) was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.
Prov.8:24 When [there were] no depths, I WAS BROUGHT FORTH (Prov.8:25 below); when [there were] no fountains abounding with water.
Prov.8:25 Before the mountains were settled, before the hills WAS I BROUGHT FORTH:
Prov.8:26 While as yet he (God) had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world.
Prov.8:27 When he (God) prepared the heavens, I [was] there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:
