1 After these things I heard
a loud voice of a great multitude in
heaven, saying, “Alleluia! Salvation and glory and honor and power belong
to the Lord our God!
After seeing all that comes with
the whore of Babylon John hears a mass of voices crying out from heaven.
2 For true and righteous are His
judgments, because He has judged the
great harlot who corrupted the earth
with her fornication; and He has avenged on her the blood of His servants shed by her.”
The crowd proclaims YHWH’s
judgements on Babylon. They say His vengeance came because she shed the blood
of His servants.
3 Again they said, “Alleluia! Her
smoke rises up forever and ever!”
Isaiah 34:8-12
For it is the day of the Lord’s
vengeance, The year of recompense for
the cause of Zion. Its streams shall
be turned into pitch, And its dust into brimstone; Its land shall become burning pitch. It shall not be quenched night or day; Its smoke shall ascend forever. From generation to generation it
shall lie waste; No one shall pass through it forever and ever. But the owl and
the hedgehog shall possess it, Also the owl and the raven shall dwell in it. And
He shall stretch out over it The line of confusion and the stones of emptiness.
They shall call its nobles to the kingdom, But none shall be there, and all its
princes shall be nothing.
This is an interesting comparison
between these two passages. The entire chapter from Isaiah is in reference to
the nations of the world who are against Israel. But then gets specific about
Edom and Bozrah. These both border on Saudi Arabia, which is what I have been
speaking about for some time. Now, considering these places are deserts and
have access to oil it also makes sense. Pitch is a solid form of petroleum oil,
similar to tar. The word streams does not mean, or have to mean rivers. The
Hebrew is Strong's H5158 – nachal and it
could mean, a shaft (of a mine), in
other words, into the rocks, caves, and wholes of the ground.
Isaiah 2:19
They shall go into the holes of
the rocks, And into the caves of the earth, From the terror of the Lord And the glory of His majesty, When He
arises to shake the earth mightily.
4 And the twenty-four elders
and the four living creatures fell
down and worshiped God who sat on the throne, saying, “Amen! Alleluia!”
John sees the 24 elders as well
as the four creatures again, worshipping YHWH.
5 Then a voice came from the
throne, saying, “Praise our God, all you His servants and those who fear
Him, both small and great!”
John hears from the throne.
6 And I heard, as it were, the
voice of a great multitude, as the
sound of many waters and as the
sound of mighty thunderings, saying, “Alleluia! For the Lord God Omnipotent
reigns!
The crowd again praises YHWH.
7 Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready.”
It is clear from this, the
marriage between Messiah and the Bride (believers) does not take place until
after the destruction of Babylon.
8 And to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen,
clean and bright, for the fine linen is
the righteous acts of the saints.
The bride only can be displayed
in fine linen. The fine linen is the righteous deeds, and the Bride is the assembly
of the saints.
9 Then he said to me, “Write: ‘Blessed
are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb!’ ” And he said
to me, “These are the true sayings of God.”
John is told those who are called
to the marriage are blessed. But it is likely these are not the same as the
Bride.
10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, “See that
you do not do that! I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren
who have the testimony of Jesus.
Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus
is the spirit of prophecy.”
John attempts to worship the
angel, but is told not to do so. We are then told, Yeshua’s testimony is the
spirit of prophecy.
11 Now I saw heaven opened,
and behold, a white horse. And He
who sat on him was called Faithful and
True, and in righteousness He judges
and makes war.
John sees heaven open and Yeshua
coming on a white horse. He comes to make war and judgements.
12 His eyes were like a flame
of fire, and on His head were many
crowns. He had a name written that
no one knew except Himself.
John gives a description of
Yeshua.
13 He was clothed with a robe
dipped in blood, and His name is
called The Word of God.
Isaiah 63:1-3
Who is this who comes from Edom, With dyed garments from Bozrah, This
One who is glorious in His apparel, Traveling in the greatness of His
strength?—“I who speak in righteousness, mighty to save.” Why is Your apparel
red, And Your garments like one who treads in the winepress? “I have trodden
the winepress alone, And from the peoples no one was with Me. For I have trodden
them in My anger, And trampled them in My fury; Their blood is sprinkled upon My garments, And I have stained all My robes.
John sees Yeshua now, after He
has already begun His wars. His robe is dipped in the blood of the Edomites and
from Bozrah. This fits exactly with what was stated previously. This means,
John is seeing Yeshua on His way to fight the rest of the Antichrist army,
after Babylon is destroyed.
14 And the armies in heaven,
clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed
Him on white horses.
Heavens army is coming quickly
behind Yeshua.
15 Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should
strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the
fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
Yeshua will destroy the nations
with His sword. He will then rule all the nations with a rod of iron. Yeshua is
YHWH in the flesh and brings the His wrath.
16 And He has on His robe and on
His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
He is named, the King of Kings,
and Lord of Lords. What is interesting about this is a verse from Islam.
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 73 Hadith 224
Allah’s Apostle said, “The most
awful name in Allah’s sight on the Day of Resurrection, will be (that of) a man
calling himself Malik Al-Amlak (the king of kings).
17 Then I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he
cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in the midst of
heaven, “Come and gather together for
the supper of the great God, that you may eat the flesh of kings, the flesh
of captains, the flesh of mighty men,
the flesh of horses and of those who sit
on them, and the flesh of all people,
free and slave, both small and great.”
An angel calls out to all the
birds to come eat the dead bodies of all those who fight against Yeshua.
19 And I saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against Him who sat on the
horse and against His army.
John sees all the beast’s armies
coming together against Yeshua.
20 Then the beast was captured,
and with him the false prophet who worked
signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who received the mark of the
beast and those who worshiped his image.
These
two were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone.
During the battle the beast and
the antichrist, who I believe to be the false prophet, are captured and thrown
into the lake of fire.
21 And the rest were killed with the sword which proceeded from the
mouth of Him who sat on the horse. And all the birds were filled with their
flesh.
Every other human who fought for
the Antichrist were killed and the birds feed on their dead bodies.
One main thing we can take away
from this is the Whore of Babylon is definitely destroyed before the war with the
antichrist takes place. The whore will be in the vicinity of Saudi Arabia, if
not within her boarders 100% as I have suggested.
