The Revelation of Jesus Christ, chapter fourteen. Jesus the Lamb standing on mount Zion.

~ Robert Spiller ~ Leave a comment

Pause for thought

What a contrast to the preceding two chapters! We now see what awaits us. The Lamb who is our Lord Jesus Christ is standing on the heavenly mount Zion. Some think that with Him are the same one hundred and forty four thousand mentioned in 7:1-8. Others myself included, think that although there are similarities these one hundred and forty four thousand represent all faithful saints. 14:1-5.

The three Angels

Another Angel

I believe that there will come a time when the Gospel will of been declared, and like the door of Noah’s Ark shut tight. This Angel who is carrying the everlasting Gospel is reminding all people world wide of the Gospel and the judgement that will surely come upon those who reject Jesus 16:6-7.

The second Angel

Shouting “Babylon is fallen” Babylon illustrates how lusting after wealth is the root of every kind of evil. 1 Timothy 6:10 Mammon is finally defeated!

The third Angel warns of judgement to come upon all worshippers of the anti christ or his statue by accepting his mark on hand or forehead will be tormented by fire. But there is an encouraging message those who have become Christians during the great tribulation to be patient stand firm, and keep trusting in Jesus 14:12.

The harvest of the earth

The Son of Man (Jesus Christ) seated on a white cloud, with a golden crown on His head and sharp sickle in His hand. Jesus is ready to return, but notice an Angel comes from the heavenly Temple declaring that the time has come. Jesus still does not know the time or the hour of His return! An Angel comes from God the Father with the Fathers instructions Mathew 24:36.

A verse to remember

Of His own will He brought us forth by the word of truth, that we might be a kind of first fruits of His creatures James 1:18 N.K.J.V.

The Revelation of Jesus Christ chapter thirteen. The Beasts from the Sea and the Earth.

~ Robert Spiller ~ Leave a comment

Pause for thought

Chapters twelve through fifteen of Revelation could be sub headed Setting the scene an introduction to some end time players. I find it near impossible to put the events of chapters twelve to fifteen in consecutive order, however they will certainly happen just as prophesied.

The Beast from the sea, has seven heads representing authority, with blasphemous names written, representing Empires that have persecuted Israel in the past, ref Danial 7:2-7. The ten horns with ten crowns representing power, is probably the seventh Empire of 13:1. It is the Devil (dragon) who gives him power, a throne and authority. This monster was not born possessed but at some point in his political career he bows down to the evil one who then possess him and rules the world through him . “Out of the sea” the Antichrist will come at a time of geo political instability. The sea represents people so I think the Antichrist will be democratically elected, which is man’s choice but not Gods 13:4.1 Samuel 8.

The Beast from the earth, or false prophet will appear like a lamb, but his true nature is like a wolf, this is the essence of every false prophet he will come from the Earth (no part of his message will come from above) he will be the great deceiver. His mission will be to destroy people by causing them to obey and worship the devil, by directing them to the Antichrist. 13:13-14, 2 Corinthians 11:15,

The Book of Life is a register of the redeemed, note it’s the Lambs (Jesus) book, also note, Christs death was planned by God from before there was a world! 13:8 “ For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son” John 3:16

A verse to remember

For false christs and false prophets will arise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. Matthew 24:24 N.K.J.

The Revelation of Jesus Christ chapter Twelve. The Woman, the child, and the Dragon,

~ Robert Spiller ~ Leave a comment

Pause for thought

As with much of the book of Revelation there are a number of views as to the identity of the Woman and child of Revelation 12. 1 Catholics tend to think that the woman represents Mary, the stars on her garland represent the twelve Apostles. 2 Others see the woman as Israel the garland the twelve sons of Jacob ( twelve tribes of Israel) the child as representing Christ. 3 Some see the woman changing identity in 12:6 now representing the church, the child now becomes believers. I favour 2, the clincher for me is the Male child (Jesus) who is to rule all nations with a rod of iron, and is caught up to God and His throne 12:5. The fiery red dragon needs no introduction, He empowers the anti christ who brings terror upon the world particularly persecuting Israel during the great tribulation (1260 days.) the rest of her offspring are all those who become Christian’s during the great tribulation period 12:17.

War in Heaven Although this is a cosmic war between the archangel Michael and The devil and his angels. The devil and his angels are defeated and thrown out of Heaven. But not simply by Michael and his angels but in partnership with the saints who are standing firm on the testify and blood of Christ, see verse 12:11 12:7 .

They overcame the devil by the blood of the Lamb, the victory of the finished work of Jesus who shed His blood for our sins, the blood also brings peace of mind when the devil accuses us. The word of their testimony is the promise and authority of the Word of God on which we stand at the time of attack 12:11.

Satan having been thrown out of heaven where he has accused believers since the fall of Adam, is raging because he can no longer accuse them before God. His wicked plans are coming to nothing, for him time is running out. Very bad news for those on earth, but good news for those in heaven because their accuser is silenced

A verse to remember

And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death. Revelation 12:11 N.K.J.

The Revelation of Jesus Christ chapter eleven. The Tribulation Temple, and the Two Witnesses.

~ Robert Spiller ~ Leave a comment

Pause for 💭

The Temple could refer to the Holy Spirit indwelling members of the body of Christ 1 Cor 3:16. Or to a future Temple built during the early tribulation period that later becomes a target for the antichrist 2 Thessalonians 2:4. The measuring rod speaks of either preservation in the case of the first, or destruction in the case of the second?

Warning Some Christian’s get very excited about the possibility of another Temple being built with Temple worship being established once more, probably including animal sacrifice and all that that would signify! Please 0read what the Bible says in Hebrews 8, The book of Hebrews was written to Jewish Christian’s reminding them to remain in Christ and not give in to temptation and return to Judaism. A future temple in Jerusalem will be a big pull, May the Lord help all Christians to remain faithful. The Building of a temple during the tribulation would deny the finished work of Jesus and be offensive to God.

The Two Witnesses Prophecy in Jerusalem for Three and a half lunar years (1260 days) dressed in sackcloth and preaching repentance to anyone who will listen. Those who seeks to harm them will die from what comes out of their mouths. ( not a natural death!)
There is much speculation about their identity but we are only told that they are God’s witnesses. They bring plagues upon the earth which results in rejoicing when they are finally killed, After three and a half days they are raised to life and taken to heaven. Followed by a great earthquake that destroys seven thousand in Jerusalem

The Two witnesses are empowered by the Holy Spirit, notice they were not killed until their ministry was completed. I truly believe that like them we are not taken off this world until we have finish our God given task. Their preaching was a torment to those who were perishing, hardened hearts perish, but we understand that there were those who come to Christ during the tribulation period.

The Seventh Trumpet, heralds in the ever lasting kingdom of our Lord and His Christ 11: 15. Heaven is opened and the ark of His covenant is seen in Gods heavenly Temple, (This is the mercy Seat Hebrews 9:23-26). A reminder of Gods faithfulness to His people 11:19. ( this is not a reappearance of the Old Testament ark of the covenant which was a copy of the Heavenly) this is the throne of God.

A verse to remember Do you not know that you are the Temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? 1 Corinthians 3:16 N.K.J.

The Revelation of Jesus Christ chapter ten. The Mighty Angel with the little book.

~ Robert Spiller ~ Leave a comment

Pause for thought

The mighty angel is similar in appearance to the Son of Man 1:13-16. This mighty angel is Gods special messenger to the whole world. The seven thunders are the voice of God, John has been writing all that he has seen and heard. But now he is told not write what God has said but to seal up everything the thunders have uttered. This is very similar to the command given to Daniel 8:26.

Gods mysterious plan fulfilled. When the Angel blows and the seventh trumpet sounds, Gods plan for humanity will be fulfilled, and the end of the age will have arrived 11:15, Ephesians 1:9-10.

Sweet = good news, Bitter = judgement to come. The little book is open in the angels hand, this represents the glorious gospel that is available to all who through faith receive it. But becomes bitter in the stomach of the evangelist ( many evangelists tell of sowing and reaping with tears as well as with great rejoicing) because it promises judgement upon all who reject the gospel message 10:10. See also Ezekiel 3:1.

A verse to remember

For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Thessalonians 5:9 N.K.J.

The Revelation of Jesus Christ chapter nine. Demons released, and invaders from the east.

~ Robert Spiller ~ Leave a comment

Pause for thought

The fifth angel blows a trumpet.

The star (angel) fallen from heaven is probably Satan himself is given the key to the bottomless pit, possibly but not necessarily the prison for sinning spirits that we read about in Jude 6. These beings are described as being like locusts. 1 Their time span is limited to five months ( life span of a locust). 2 They have only permission to harm unbelievers. 3 power to torment but not to kill. In those days men will seek death but will be unable to die. Many suggestions about who or what the locusts represent including helicopter gun ships or drones, I think the locusts represent numerous demons who materialise 9:7-10 and be released upon this world, far more wicked than the unseen spiritual forces we Christians resist daily.

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood , but against the rulers , against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms Ephesians 6:12

The six angel blows a trumpet

A voice probably of command from God in response to prayer 9:1.

1 Notice four Evil Angels are bound ( this means God is in control of these events 9:15) 2 The number of the army is specific, John repeats he heard the number 9:16. 3 Because they cross the Euphrates we know this could be a literal invasion from the east, the colours could represent several national armies 9:13-19.

Yet they still did not repent of these specific sins of our age 1 murder, 2 sorcery (can also mean drug addiction) 3 sexual immorality 4 theft.

A verse to remember

“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God, I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” Isaiah 41:10.

The Revelation of Jesus Christ chapter eight. Jesus opens the seventh seal.

~ Robert Spiller ~ Leave a comment

Pause for thought

The opening of the seventh seal includes the sounding of the seven trumpets and the pouring out of the seven bowls of wrath.

Seven Trumpets blown by Angels. 1 One third of the earth set fire 8:7. 2 A great mountain falls into the sea destroying one third of everything in and on the sea 8:8. 3 A meteorite falls from the sky onto rivers turning rivers and springs bitter, causing many to die because of the bitter water 8:10. 4 Reduced light 8:12. 5 A plague of locusts for five months 9:1. 6 An oriental invasion 9:13. 7 The kingdom of God comes upon the world it is taken over by God after a final great earthquake 11:15

A verse to remember

For God did not appoint us to Wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ 1 Thessalonians 5:9.

The Revelation of Jesus Christ chapter seven. Kept by the Power of God.

~ Robert Spiller ~ Leave a comment

Pause for thought

The sealing of the redeemed in chapter seven, happens during an interval of quiet between the sixth and seventh seals. ( those who hold a mid-trib view, favour the rapture of the saints at this point.

After the terrors of the sixth seal, the winds of the earth depicting the forces of devastation yet to come, are held back by four angels under the instruction of a strong angel from the east carrying the seal of God, who tells them to hold back while the redeemed of Christ receive a seal on their forehead’s.
The one hundred and forty- four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel 7:4 could be a literal band of Jewish evangelists, (that is according to dispensational pre Millennialism) or symbolic of all Israel Romans 11: 26, or spiritual Israel? The number one hundred and forty four thousand also symbolises completeness 7:4

Who is the vast crowd in 7:9 ? again there are many suggestions, 1 The martyrs of 6:9. 2 The 144 thousand. 3 Those coming out of the great tribulation 7:14. 4 The redeemed from every age and nation, notice they all had the same credentials, white robes washed in the blood of the Lamb. God includes everyone who trusts in the righteousness and sacrifice of Jesus. No true believer need ever worry about which group they will be in!

A verse to remember

For the Lamb who stands in front ofthe throne will be their Shepherd. He will lead them to the springs of life- giving water. And God will wipe away all their tears. Revelation 7:17 N.L.T.

The Revelation of Jesus Christ chapter six. Jesus opens the scroll removing the first six seals.

~ Robert Spiller ~ Leave a comment

Pause for thought

Historicists believe that Chapter six represents the whole time period from the early apostles to the present day. It’s true the world has witnessed some cataclysmic events already, but I think that during the coming tribulation many of these past tragedies will be repeated to a much greater degree.

The first seal. A rider on a white horse, this rider is not Jesus but a future world leader (antichrist) who will deceive the whole world Daniel 18:25. This rider also represents many dictators who have tried to enslave the world. ( Antichrist is one who seeks to replace Jesus Christ, being a master of deception he will not appear to be anti Christian his lies will seem like the truth. He may well seem to hold the Bible in esteem.

The second seal A rider on a red horse taking away peace from the world, causing people to kill each other, through murder, civil unrest and warfare.

The third seal A rider on a black horse seen holding a pair of scales, a sign of severe inflation and famine. Do not harm the oil or wine could indicate that those with wealth are still able to buy life’s luxuries.


The fourth seal. A rider on a pale grey horse whose name is death, hades (the grave) follow this rider who in turn follows the previous riders bringing to pass what they have been allowed to initiate. But the devastation death causes is limited in scope to a quarter of earth’s population

The fifth seal Persecution and martyrdom of the saint’s, notice these martyrs were crying out for vindication (avenge) not vengeance. Stephen Acts 7:60 Lord do not charge them with this sin.

The sixth seal. Cosmic disturbance, the great day of wrath has come 6:17 all seven classes of mankind refuse to repent 6:17. kings, great men, Rich men, Commanders, Mighty men, Slaves , and Free men. The order of these seals is I believe sure but the timing is uncertain, the six seal looks like events that happen at the point of Christs return.But more on this as we continue to read Revelation.

A verse to remember

For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with the them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words. 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18

The Revelation of Jesus Christ chapter five.

~ Robert Spiller ~ Leave a comment

Pause for thought

The book or Scroll had writing inside and out, meaning that nothing can be added to Gods last Will and Testament Revelation 22:18-19.

The scroll contained seven seals which are located throughout the scroll. As each one is broken so the next phase of Gods plan is revealed.

Only Jesus is able to open each seal in turn, Jesus life of total obedience to His Father will qualified Him. Jesus is the Lamb who was dead but now lives forever! Jesus is the Lion (power and authority) and the Lamb ( submission to Gods will) Only Jesus who is the root and offspring of David has the right to open the seals 5:5

The scroll containing Gods Will is taken from His fathers hand by Jesus Christ. Who is depicted as having seven horns (strength and power) and seven eyes, the seven spirits of God, reminding us that Jesus is God and is omnipresent. The bowls of incense which are the prayers of the saints, reveals that none of our prayers are wasted, they don’t die with us, for our Heavenly Father who hears our prayers is eternal. ( your prayers feature in Gods end time plan!)

A verse to remember

And then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea. They sang: “Blessing and honour and glory and power belong to the one sitting on the throne and to the Lamb forever and ever.” And the four living beings said “Amen!” And the twenty four elders fell down and worshipped God and the Lamb. Revelation 5:13-14 N.L.T.
