REVELATION - BEHOLD I COME LIKE A THIEF

 

'BEHOLD I COME LIKE A THIEF!

Blessed is he who stays Awake

And keeps his clothes with him,

So that he may not go Naked

And be Shamefully Exposed.'

(Revelation 16:15)

Revelation 16

Then I heard a loud voice from the Temple

Saying to the Seven Angels,

'Go, pour out the Seven Bowls of God's Wrath on the Earth.

2 The First Angel went and poured out his Bowl on the land,

And Ugly painful Sores broke out on the people

Who had the “mark” of the Beast and worshiped his Image.

3 Then the Second Angel poured out his Bowl on the sea,

And it turned to blood like that of a dead man,

AND EVERY LIVING THING IN THE SEA DIED.

4 The Third Angel poured out his Bowl

On the rivers and springs of water,

AND THEY BECAME LIKE BLOOD.

5 Then I heard the Angel in charge of the waters say:

'YOU ARE JUST IN THESE JUDGMENTS,

YOU WHO ARE AND WHO WERE, THE HOLY ONE,

Because You have so Judged;

6 FOR THEY HAVE SHED THE BLOOD

OF YOUR SAINTS AND PROPHETS,

And You have given them blood to drink as they deserve.'

7 And I heard the Altar respond:

'Yes, Lord God Almighty,

TRUE AND JUST ARE YOUR JUDGMENTS.'

8 The Fourth Angel poured out his Bowl on the sun,

And the sun was given Power to Scorch people with Fire.

9 THEY WERE SEARED BY THE INTENSE HEAT

AND THEY CURSED THE NAME OF GOD,

Who had Control over these Plagues,

BUT THEY REFUSED TO REPENT AND GLORIFY HIM.

10 The Fifth Angel poured out his Bowl

On the Throne of the Beast

And his kingdom was plunged into Darkness.

MEN GNAWED THEIR TONGUES IN AGONY

11 AND CURSED THE GOD OF HEAVEN

Because of their pains and their Sores,

BUT THEY REFUSED TO REPENT

OF WHAT THEY HAD DONE.

12 Then the Sixth Angel poured out his Bowl

On the Great River Euphrates,

And its water was dried up

To prepare the way for the kings from the East.

13 THEN I SAW THREE EVIL SPIRITS

That looked like Frogs;

They came out of the mouth of the Dragon,

Out of the mouth of the Beast

And out of the mouth of the False Prophet.

14 THEY ARE THE SPIRITS OF DEMONS

PERFORMING MIRACULOUS SIGNS,

And they go out to the kings of the Whole World,

TO GATHER THEM FOR THE BATTLE

ON THE GREAT DAY OF GOD ALMIGHTY.

15 'BEHOLD, I COME LIKE A THIEF!

Blessed is he who stays Awake

And keeps his clothes with him,

So that he may not go Naked

And be Shamefully Exposed.'

16 Then they gather the kings together to the Place

That in Hebrew is call ARMAGEDDON.

17 The Seventh Angel poured out his Bowl into the air,

And out of the Temple came a loud voice

From the Throne, saying,

'IT IS DONE!'

18 Then there came flashes of lightning,

Rumblings, peals of thunder

And a Severe Earthquake like has never occurred

Since man has been on Earth,

So Tremendous was the Quake.

19 THE GREAT CITY SPLIT INTO THREE PARTS

AND THE CITIES OF THE NATIONS COLLAPSED.

God remembered Babylon The Great

And gave her the Cup

Filled with the Wine of the Fury of His Wrath.

20 Every Island fled away

And the Mountains could not be found.

21 From the Sky Huge Hailstones

Of about a Hundred Pounds each fell upon men.

AND THEY CURSED GOD

ON ACCOUNT OF THE PLAGUE OF HAIL,

Because the Plague was so Terrible.

(Revelation 16)

Today, men and women

Are Cursing God and His Word

By their words and DEEDS,

And they think that they can do so with IMPUNITY!

But they forget that God Almighty

HAS A DAY OF RECKONING

A Day where He pours out upon them

What their DEEDS DESERVE!

Today, what is the destination

Of the Whole arrogant World,

That has abandoned God and His Word?

It is Complete Destruction,

The Cities of the Nations Collapse.

The Whole World becomes a pile of Rubble.

Such is God's opinion of the works of man;

Everything they exult in.

Christ Jesus warned us all:

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)

This World in it's Present Form is Passing Away.

(1 Corinthians 7:31)

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!
