THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST - THE STONE COMETH - VOLUME 6

By: Delbert Young

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

In Chapter 12, the second great vision continues. Chapters 12-16 of John’s visit into the spirit realm (Rev 4:2) displays the theme of the church in conflict with the dragon. The first section of this great vision (chapters 4-11) showed the view from the throne of the Lamb. From the throne, He executed vengeance upon the land (ge) by destroying those who killed the witnesses and the treading underfoot the city. The second section gives several visions and mysteries. These will show the survival of the church and the gathering to Armageddon. In these chapters, we will see the vision of the woman, the vision of the dragon, the vision of the beast from the sea, and the vision of the beast from the land. These are the type things we think about when we think of The Revelation of Jesus Christ. In Chapter 13, the second great vision continued and will through Chapter 16. In this section of the vision, John saw two beasts. He saw a beast rise out of the sea and a beast rise out of the land. As we will see, the first beast arose from the nations, specifically Rome Italy. The second beast came from the Jewish nation, specifically Judaism. The first beast fulfills the prophecy of Daniel as the leopard, bear, and lion. The second beast is a beast in lamb's clothing causing everyone to be marked in the head or the hand. The number of the first beast is 666. John continued his second great vision. Chapter 13 ended with identifying the beast of the sea. Chapter 14 begins with those marked by the Father. John tells of 144,000 virgins never defiled by a woman. Is John serious? Does John actually mean women defile men? We are then told of the ministries and messages of angels concerning the Everlasting Gospel, Babylon, the mark of the beast, the sharp sickle, and blood to the horses' bridles. Chapter 14 ended with the thrusting in of sickles and with blood to the horse's bridles. Chapter 15 begins with seven angels with plagues filled with the wrath of God. Those victorious over the beast, his image, and his number sang the song of Moses. The Song of Moses is the termination of the age of Moses. The chapter ends with seven vials of the wrath of God given to the seven angels. Chapter 15 ended with the seven vials of the wrath of God given to the seven angels as the temple filled with smoke. Chapter 16 begins with the seven angels pouring out the wrath of God with the sixth vial bringing Armageddon into the picture. Chapter 16 brings to a close the second great vision given John in the Book of Revelation. From the throne came "It is done."
