THEN
I looked and lo, the Lamb stood on Mount Zion,
and
with Him a hundred and forty-four thousand [men]
Who
had His Name and His Father's Name Inscribed on their Foreheads.
And
I heard a voice from Heaven like the sound of Great Waters
And
like the rumbling of Mighty Thunder;
The
voice I heard [seemed like the music] of Harpists
Accompanying
themselves on their harps.
And
they sing a New Song before the Throne [of God]
And
before the Four Living Creatures and before the Elders
[Of
the Heavenly Sanhedrin].
NO
ONE could learn [to sing] that song
Except
the hundred and forty-four thousand
Who
had been Ransomed (purchased, redeemed) from the Earth.
These
are they who have not Defiled themselves by relations with women,
For
they are [pure as] Virgins.
These
are they who follow the Lamb wherever He goes.
These
are they who have been Ransomed (purchased, redeemed)
From
among men as the FIRST FRUITS for God and the Lamb.
NO
LIE was found to be upon their lips,
For
they are Blameless—Spotless, Untainted, without Blemish--
Before
the Throne of God.
THEN
I saw another angel flying in mid-air,
WITH
AN ETERNAL GOSPEL (GOOD NEWS)
To
tell the Inhabitants of the Earth,
To
every Race and Tribe and Language and People.
AND
HE CRIED WITH A MIGHTY VOICE,
Revere
God and give Him Glory (honor and praise and worship),
FOR
THE HOUR OF HIS JUDGMENT HAS ARRIVED.
Fall
down before Him; Pay Him Homage and Adoration
And
Worship Him Who created Heaven and Earth,
The
sea and the springs (fountain) of water.
THEN
another angel, as second, followed, declaring
FALLEN,
FALLEN IS BABYLON THE GREAT!
She
who made ALL NATIONS drink of the [maddening] Wine
Of
her Passionate Unchastity [idolatry]. [Isa. 21:9]
Then
another angel, a third, followed them
SAYING
WITH A MIGHTY VOICE,
Whoever
Pays Homage to the Beast and his Statue
And
permits the [Beast's] Stamp (mark, inscription)
To
be put on his Forehead or on his Hand,
He
TOO shall [have to] Drink of the Wine of God's Indignation and WRATH,
Poured
Undiluted into the Cup of His Anger,
And
he shall be Tormented with Fire and Brimstone
In
the Presence of the Holy angels and in the Presence of the Lamb
[Gen.
19:24.]
And
the smoke of their Torment ascends FOREVER and EVER,
AND
THEY HAVE NO RESPITE—
NO
PAUSE, NO INTERMISSION, NO REST, NO PEACE--DAY OR NIGHT,
These
who Pay Homage to the Beast and to his Image,
Whoever
receives the Stamp of his name upon him. [Isa. 34:10.]
HERE
[COMES IN A CALL FOR] THE STEADFASTNESS OF THE SAINTS--
The
Patience, the Endurance of the People of God--
Those
who (habitually) Keep God's Commandments
[Their]
FAITH IN JESUS.
Then
I heard further, [perceiving the distinct words of]
A
voice from Heaven saying, Write this:
BLESSED—HAPPY,
TO BE ENVIED--
Are
the DEAD from now on who DIE IN THE LORD!
YES,
BLESSED—HAPPY, TO BE ENVIED--
Say
the Spirit, [in] that they may rest from their Labors,
For
their works (deeds) do follow (attend, accompany) them!
AGAIN
I looked, and lo, [I saw] a white cloud,
and
sitting on the cloud One resembling a Son of Man,
With
a Crown of gold on His head,
And
a sharp Scythe (sickle) in His hand. [Dan. 7:13.]
And
another angel came out of the Temple Sanctuary,
CALLING
WITH A MIGHTY VOICE
To
Him Who was sitting upon the cloud,
PUT
IN YOUR SCYTHE AND REAP,
For
the Hour has arrived to gather the Harvest,
For
the Earth's Crop is Fully Ripened. [Joel 3:13.]
SO
He Who was sitting upon the cloud
Swung
His Scythe (sickle) on the earth
And
the Earth's crop was Harvested.
THEN
another angel came out of the Temple Sanctuary in Heaven,
And
he also carried a sharp scythe (sickle).
And
another angel came forth from the altar,
[The
angel] who has Authority and Power over Fire,
AND
HE CALLED WITH A LOUD CRY
To
him who had the sharp scythe (sickle),
PUT
FORTH YOUR SCYTHE AND REAP
THE
FRUITAGE OF THE VINE OF THE EARTH,
And
Cast it into the Huge Wine Press of God's Indignation and WRATH.
And
[the grapes in] the Wine Press were Trodden outside the City,
And
the blood poured from the Wine Press,
[Reaching
as high as horses' bridles,
For
a distance of one thousand and six hundred stadia
[About
two hundred miles]. [Joel 3:13.]
(This
happens when Christ Jesus defeats ALL the armies of the World
At
Armageddon)
(Revelation
14, AMP)
Be
always on the Watch,
And pray that you
will be able to Escape All that is about to happen,
And that you may be
able TO STAND before the Son of Man.
(Luke 21:36)
Today,
the world is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)
America
is being ground to powder because of her SIN against God.
Save
yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)
As
God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!
Father,
Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as in Heaven!
