363. 30th December Bible Commentary With Toyin Ojo Taken From The Books Of Jude And Revelation.
GOD GAVE SOUVENIRS
REVELATION 151-8
“I saw in heaven another great and marvellous sign: seven angels with the seven plagues—last, because with them God’s wrath is completed. And I saw what looked like a sea of glass…” (v.1-2)
GOD GAVE SOUVENIRS TO THE VICTORIOUS — who did not succumb to the pressure of the mark of the beast, its image nor its name were given harps by God,
“and they sang the song of Moses and all the lamb (v.3-4; ref: Psalm 1112,3,
Deuteronomy 324, Jeremiah 107, Psalm 869, 982 — The One Year Chronological Bible pg.1574 footnote)
THE TABERNACLE OF THE COVENANT LAW (the temple) was revealed in heaven. “Out of the temple came seven angels with the seven plagues.” v.6. And one of the four living creatures gave the 7 angels golden bowls filled with the wrath of God. And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from his power and no one could enter the temple until the seven plagues of the seven angels were completed.” v.8
REVELATION 161-21
“Then I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the angels, “Go, pour out the seven bowls of God’s wrath on the earth” v.1
The seven angels took their turns causing calamity as each poured out his bowl;
The 1st on land — “ugly, festering sores broke out on the people who had the mark of the beast and worshiped its image.” v.2 — Note that the pleasures the beast give is temporal.
The 2nd on the sea and everything in the sea died (v.3)
The third on the rivers and spring of water and they became blood. v.4. At this the angel in charge of the waters declared; GOD IS JUST IN JUDGEMENT. Because of the blood of God’s holy people and prophets were shed (v.5-6; read v.7)
The 4th angel poured out its bowl on the sun and “the sun was allowed to scorch people with fire” v.8
“the people remained in their sins” Sad, they curse God. No repentance!
The 5th angel pour its bowl on the throne of the beast; “and its kingdom plunged into darkness.” v.5. They coursed God in heaven in their pain refusing repentance for their sins.
“Look, I come like a thief! Blessed is the one who stays awake and remains clothed, so as not to go naked and be shamefully exposed” v.15
IT IS DONE!
The seventh angel
v.—17 “The seventh angel pulled out his bowl into the air, and out of the temple came a voice from the throne, saying “It is done!”
After this, was a great earthquake like never.
“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” v.19
“The Island fled away and even the mountains could not be found. People cursed God on account of the plague of hail, because the plague was so terrible” {v.20-21 extracts)
REVELATION 171-18
THE GREAT PROSTITUTE — who sits by many waters revealed, the truth that the kings of the earth and peoples commit adultery with her was also revealed. More was revealed, read about another woman sitting on a scarlet beast, her heavily adorned dress and golden cup filled with abomination in her hand, and the writing on her head:
“BABYLON THE GREAT
THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES
AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH” v.5
“She was drunk with the blood of God’s holy people “ v.6, She has affluence, (read about what she rides and the kings with her (v.7-13), many of whom have very temporal powers manifest.
They will war against the lamb (v.14)
HER WOES AND EVENTUALITIES — all those with her eventually ruined and consumed her.
All these are the plans of God. (v.15-17) Symbols:
- Water — People, Nations, and language v.15
- “The woman you saw is the great city that rules over the kings of the earth.” v.18
REVELATION 181-24
FALLEN IS BABYLON THE GREAT (v.2 ref Isaiah 219)
This was proclaimed by an angel, he had great authority, and the earth was illuminated by his splendour.”
Babylon had become a dwelling for demons, familiar spirits, unclean birds and animals, and ‘the kings of the earth committed adultery with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from her exclusive luxuries” v.3
A CALL FROM HEAVEN to come out of such demonic agreements, so as to be spared, lest they partake of her judgement.
“Therefore, in one day her plagues will overtake her: Death, mourning and famine. She will be consumed by fire, for mighty is the Lord God who judges her.” v.8
The kings who had her and all who partook of her, weep and shouted her woes (v.9-
15)
Read v.21-24 of her final woes, and the act of an angel for her final destruction and shame of her magic spells, with which all the nations are were led astray.
NIGHT:
“The gifts also endowed them with supernatural powers. As I noticed there was no training or rehearsals!
“Those who had been victorious over the beast and its image and over the number of its name. They held harps given them by God and sang the song of god’s servant Moses and of the Lamb.”
See the Lyrics; v.3-4
“Great and marvellous are your deeds,
Lord God Almighty.
Just God Almighty.
Just and true are your ways,
King of the nations.
Who will not fear you, Lord,
And bring glory to your name?
For you alone are holy.
For you alone are holy.
All nations will come
and worship before you,
for your righteous acts have been revealed.
