John starts to move forward again in our timeline of events at this three and one half year juncture during the tribulation. Remembering our point in time, the harpazo of the saints happens before the first seal is opened. We find out that when the saints go up the two witnesses come down for three and one half years. Then the seal and bowl judgments take place. The 144,000 heirs of Jacob are marked and hidden for three and one half years. When the seventh bowl is about to be opened the thunders say something and Drakōn and Satanas are cast out of the upper heavens to the earth with the one third of the angels who sinned. Jesus is coronated and gives rewards to his saints.
Here is the approximate numerical breakdown of people on the earth.
8.2 billion on earth today
- 2.6 billion harpazo’d
———————————
5.6 billon on earth
- 1/4 at the 4th seal
———————————
4.2 billion on earth
- 1/3 at the 6th trumpet
———————————
2.8 billion people on earth
The first thing that Jesus does after awarding the saints during his coronation is harpazo-ing the 144,000 from mount Zion. These are the heirs of Jacob who have been marked and hidden for the first three and one half years of the tribulation. They are virgin males who have never lied and are redeemed from the earth.
Rev 14:1 G2532 And G1492 I saw, G2532 and G2400 behold, G721 a lamb G2476 standing G1909 upon G3588 G3735 mount G* Zion, G2532 and G3326 with G1473 him G1540 a hundred G5062 forty G5064 four G5505 thousand, G2192 having G3588 G3686 his name G1473 G2532 and G3588 the G3686 name G3588 G3962 of his father G1473 G1125 being written G1909 upon G3588 G3359 their foreheads. G1473
Revelation14:4 G3778 These G1510.2.6 are G3739 the ones G3326 [3with G1135 4women G3756 1not G3435 2tainted]; G3933 [3virgins G1063 1for G1510.2.6 2they are]. G3778 These G1510.2.6 are G3588 the ones G190 following G3588 the G721 lamb G3699 where G302 ever G5217 he should go. G3778 These G5259 [2by G* 3Jesus G59 1were bought] G575 from G3588 G444 men G536 as first-fruit G3588 G2316 to God, G2532 and G3588 to the G721 lamb.
5 G2532 And G1722 in G3588 G4750 their mouth G1473 G3756 was not G2147 found G5579 a lie, G299 [3unblemished G1063 1for G1510.2.6 2they are].
To reiterate, for all the religions who believe that they are part of the 144,000, they are probably not, unless they are virgin males who have never lied. They are marked and preserved and now will serve Jesus as the heirs of Jacob, Israel’s children. There are no adults in this group. There are no rabbi’s in this group. There are no women in this group. We should get these details straight to help people with their misconceptions of where they will be at the start of the tribulation or at the point of the mid-tribulation.
Now we have a new thing happening. Three angels witness to the earth. Angels have not witnessed to the earth before. Their witness is a warning to all those who are on the earth. Think about who is left on the earth at this midpoint of the tribulation. The saints, the witnesses, and the 144,000, are all gone off the earth, as well as many martyred saints. Who is left? What religions? What dynamics are happening nationally? A man-beast has risen up to lead people on the earth but the other opposing world power will be Babylon. Babylon will focus on commerce, trade, and slavery, while the man-beast’s system is developing a monetary system based on tyranny. These two competing systems will come to war and one will dominate. The three angels are witnessing to the people with a stern warning.
Revelation 14:6 G2532 And G1492 I saw G243 another G32 angel G4072 flying G1722 in G3321 mid-heaven G2192 having G2098 [2good news G166 1eternal] G2097 to announce good news G3588 for the ones G2521 being settled G1909 upon G3588 the G1093 earth, G2532 and G1909 unto G3956 every G1484 nation, G2532 and G5443 tribe, G2532 and G1100 language, G2532 and G2992 people,
7 G3004 saying G1722 with G5456 [2voice G3173 1a great], G5399 Fear G3588 G2316 God, G2532 and G1325 give G1473 to him G1391 glory! G3754 for G2064 [4came G3588 1the G5610 2hour G3588 G2920 3of his judgment]; G1473 G2532 and G4352 do obeisance G3588 to the one G4160 having made G3588 the G3772 heaven G2532 and G3588 the G1093 earth, G2532 and G3588 the G2281 sea, G2532 and G4077 springs G5204 of waters!
The first angel tells the people of earth to worship the creator of heaven and earth. At this moment in time they have a choice to make. The entire earth hears this message.
Revelation 14:8 G2532 And G243 another G32 angel, G1208 a second G190 followed, G3004 saying, G4098 Is fallen, G4098 is fallen, G* Babylon G3588 the G3173 great; G1537 because G3588 [6of the G3631 7wine G3588 8of the G2372 9wrath G3588 G4202 10of her harlotry G1473 G4222 1she has given 5to drink G3956 2all G3588 3the G1484 4nations].
Now we find out that the system of Babylon has fallen. What is Babylon? It is a literal place, but at this time it is not a power player in end time events. Babylon is a system, from cradle to grave. We will read about her later. She raises people up into her system of commerce and trade but the participants are not aware that they are enslaved to the system. Babylon’s system exists today. This is why it is still a player in the tribulation. However the man-beasts system will destroy Babylon’s system. This angel announces the fall of Babylon who infiltrated all nations. Now lets read the third angel’s witness.
Revelation 14:9 G2532 And G243 another G32 angel, G5154 a third G190 followed G1473 them, G3004 saying G1722 with G5456 [2voice G3173 1a great], G1536 If any G4352 does obeisance to G3588 the G2342 beast G2532 and G3588 G1504 its image, G1473 G2532 and G2983 receives G5480 an imprint G1909 upon G3588 G3359 his forehead G1473 G2228 or G1909 upon G3588 G5495 his hand; G1473
10 G2532 even G1473 he G4095 shall drink G1537 of G3588 the G3631 wine G3588 of the G2372 rage G3588 G2316 of God, G3588 the one G2767 being mixed G194 undiluted G1722 in G3588 the G4221 cup G3588 G3709 of his wrath; G1473 G2532 and G928 he shall be tormented G1722 by G4442 fire G2532 and G2303 sulphur G1799 before G3588 the G39 holy G32 angels, G2532 and G1799 before G3588 the G721 lamb.
11 G2532 And G3588 the G2586 smoke G3588 G929 of their torment G1473 G1519 [2into G165 3 the eons G165 4of eons G305 1ascends]; G2532 and G3756 they have not G2192 G372 rest G2250 day G2532 and G3571 night, G3588 the ones G4352 doing obeisance to G3588 the G2342 beast G2532 and G3588 G1504 his image, G1473 G2532 and G1536 if anyone G2983 takes G3588 the G5480 imprint G3588 G3686 of its name. G1473
The third angel has a warning for all humans on the earth. Why is receiving the phrase of the man-beast such a damnation? Because it is the direct opposite of the Creator Yahweh Elohim, our Messiah. People get hung up on being chipped or tattooed but the primary focus should be taking the mark of the beast so that one can buy and sell. This will be the ultimate push for all humans to make a decision for Yahweh Elohim or the man-beast. This mark can be as simple as an armband, a head band, or a credit card. Remember the chaos that the earth has been in for the last three and one half years. There is one quarter of todays population left on the earth. There are only about two billion people. The daylight only last eight hours. The stars are different so that people cannot read the gospel in the stars as they do today. There has been drought, famine, poverty, and people are forced to either accept the man-beasts system or die. What will the roughly two billion people do at this time? Will they go along with the tyranny or will they heed the angel’s warnings? This angel warns of eternity in Gehenna. If people know the real consequences of their choices will they resist the man-beast?
Revelation 14:12 G5602 Here G3588 [2the G5281 3endurance G3588 4of the G39 5holy ones G1510.2.3 1is]. G5602 Here G3588 are the ones G5083 keeping G3588 the G1785 commandments G3588 G2316 of God, G2532 and G3588 the G4102 belief, G3588 of the one G* of Jesus.
13 G2532 And G191 I heard G5456 a voice G1537 from out of G3588 the G3772 heaven G3004 saying G1473 to me, G1125 Write! G3107 Blessed are G3588 the G3498 dead, G3588 the ones G1722 [2in G2962 3 the Lord G599 1dying] G575 from G737 now on. G3004 [3says G3483 4yes G3588 1The G4151 2spirit], G2443 for G373 they shall rest G1537 from G3588 G2873 their toils, G1473 G3588 G1161 and G2041 their works G1473 G190 shall follow G3326 after G1473 them.
At this time we see that there are people who now have turned to Jesus. They are willing to die for their faith in Him. We might wonder why they waited so long. We might wonder why they didn’t come to Jesus long before the harpazo, during the times of relative peace on the earth. What we do understand is that while some religions such as Christianity are not religions by birth, meaning one can choose Christianity or not, other religions believe in birthright religion. If one is born into a birthright religion they are bound by family and culture to stay in that religion otherwise they are exiled from family and community. If people have lived into this point in time their birthright religion looks less important than their survival. Depending on which side of the world system one lives, the man-beast or Babylon, will also make the difference in who chooses Jesus Messiah.
The people who reject the man-beasts system and do not take his mark/phrase, will be blessed in death and they will be rewarded. Can we get this message out to those who might be on the earth at this time? I’m sure we all could come up with ways to share this prophecy after we are harpazo’d. How about telling people while we are still here?
Revelation 14:14 G2532 And G1492 I saw, G2532 and G2400 behold, G3507 [2cloud G3022 1a white], G2532 and G1909 upon G3588 the G3507 cloud G2521 sitting G3664 was one likened to G5207 son G444 of man, G2192 having G1909 upon G3588 G2776 his head G1473 G4735 [2crown G5552 1a golden], G2532 and G1722 in G3588 G5495 his hand G1473 G1407 [2sickle G3691 1a sharp].
We see Jesus Messiah crowned. Since the coronation, the first thing that Jesus did was reward the saints, the second thing Jesus did was retrieve the 144,000. The third thing that Jesus does since being crowned is commence the reaping of the winepress of the wrath of the Elohim. This is the time when the earth is harvested, meaning there is war between the beast and Babylon. As war is allowed on the earth there are mass casualties.
Revelation 14:20 G2532 And G3961 [3was trodden G3588 1the G3025 2wine vat] G1855 outside G3588 the G4172 city. G2532 And G1831 came forth G129 blood G1537 from out of G3588 the G3025 wine vat G891 as far as G3588 the G5469 bridle G3588 of the G2462 horses, G575 from G4712 [3stadiums G5507 1a thousand G1812 2six hundred].
The amount of blood here is astounding.
The wine vat is outside the city and the grapes are going to be stomped. This is a winepress or vat of the fierceness and the indignation of the Mega God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, and out of the winepress flows blood. The blood volume of an average person is 1.2-1.5 gallons. If there are 2.5 billion people left on the earth, and about half of them will be killed by the beast, this is what it will look like for a billion people to die.
1.2 gallons of blood per person
x 1 billion people killed by the beast
———
120,000,000,000 gallons of blood.
For reference, one billion people being slain would fill Lake Powell, as Lake Powell holds 123 billion gallons of water. Now let's look at our next figure. A stadium, stadion, or furlong, is about 600 feet.
600 feet
x1600 one thousand six hundred stadia
———
960,000 feet
/ 5280 feet per mile
———
182 miles.
Lake Powell is 186 miles long. If one billion people lose their lives as the wild beast kills those who do not take his mark the volume of blood would fill Lake Powell. That is a horrible thought, but with the numbers we have for the time period of the wild beast killing Babylon, we now have a reality check. John saw a lot of blood, enough that would fill Lake Powell, and this is happening because the people on earth have rejected Jesus as their Lord and Savior before the tribulation started and now they are rejecting the first wild beast. The Mega God allows this to happen because these humans have refused Jesus as their Lord, although some may now believe on Jesus they will have this opportunity to die in His name. The other half of the humans left on the earth will follow a pseudo-Jesus, not one who was the creator, but one who is filled with the spirit of the dragon. Those people will then burn with fire and sulphur from age to age. This is the endurance of the saints to keep the commands and the faith in Jesus Christ.

To be clear this does not happen at Lake Powell or anywhere in the United States. While this war is worldwide, the majority of people are living in the middle east. The idea that one could fill a reservoir full of blood reveals that this is a vary harsh time, and the bowls have not even been poured out yet. Here are the last seven calamities.
Rev 15:1 G2532 And G1492 I saw G243 another G4592 sign G1722 in G3588 the G3772 heaven, G3173 great G2532 and G2298 wonderful, G32 [2angels G2033 1seven] G2192 having G4127 [4calamities G2033 3seven G3588 1the G2078 2last], G3754 for G1722 in G1473 them G5055 [4was finished G3588 1the G2372 2rage G3588 G2316 3of God].
As John sees the readying of the last seven judgments, he also sees the many many martyrs who would not worship the man-beast or his image. These martyrs sing the song of Moses and the song of the Lamb. They are from all nations of the earth and they heeded the warnings of the three angels.
Seven angels have seven vials of calamities/plagues and one of the beasts gives the seven angels seven vials of wrath of the Elohim. The seven vials of plagues and seven vials of wrath are poured out together onto the earth. The heavenly temple is filled with smoke of the glory of the Elohim.
Revelation 15:8 G2532 And G1072 [3was filled G3588 1the G3485 2temple] G2586 of smoke G1537 from G3588 the G1391 glory G3588 G2316 of God, G2532 and G1537 from G3588 G1411 his power; G1473 G2532 and G3762 no one G1410 was able G1525 to enter G1519 into G3588 the G3485 temple G891 until G5055 [7were finished G3588 1the G2033 2seven G4127 3calamities G3588 4of the G2033 5seven G32 6angels].
Revelation 16:1 G2532 And G191 I heard G5456 [2voice G3173 1a great] G1537 from out of G3588 the G3485 temple, G3004 saying G3588 to the G2033 seven G32 angels, G5217 Go G1632 pour out G3588 the G5357 bowls G3588 of the G2372 rage G3588 G2316 of God G1519 unto G3588 the G1093 earth!
Remember who is left at this point, the 2 billion or so people who worship the man-beast and his image. All those not worshipping the man-beast are/were murdered. A few may be hiding because the majority of these happenings are taking place in the middle east as we will see.
Revelation 16:2 G2532 And G565 went forth G3588 the G4413 first, G2532 and G1632 he poured out G3588 G5357 his bowl G1473 G1909 upon G3588 the G1093 earth, G2532 and G1096 there became G1668 [4sore G2556 1a hurtful G2532 2and G4190 3severe] G1519 to G3588 the G444 men, G3588 the ones G2192 having G3588 the G5480 imprint G3588 of the G2342 beast, G2532 and G3588 the ones G4352 doing obeisance G3588 to G1504 his image. G1473
3 G2532 And G3588 the G1208 second G32 angel G1632 poured out G3588 G5357 his bowl G1473 G1519 into G3588 the G2281 sea, G2532 and G1096 it became G129 blood G5613 as if G3498 of a dead one; G2532 and G3956 every G5590 [2soul G2198 1living] G599 died G1722 in G3588 the G2281 sea.
4 G2532 And G3588 the G5154 third G32 angel G1632 poured out G3588 G5357 his bowl G1473 G1519 into G3588 the G4215 rivers G2532 and G3588 the G4077 springs G3588 of the G5204 waters, G2532 and G1096 they became G129 blood.
The people who take the phrase of the man-beast will be harmed. The waters will be turned to blood and people will suffer. Before we become sympathetic we want to ask, were they warned? How many times were they warned and in what way? The Bible has expounded to us this future time period very clearly. When the saints were harpazo’d they saw it. When the witnesses were on the earth they saw it and murdered them. When the 144,000 were taken up they saw it. Then three angels witnessed to the whole earth. Therefore we should not feel sorry or feel scared for these people who are left during the bowl judgments. They are not innocent victims, they are willing participants in Drakōn and Satanas’ plan to overtake the earth from Yahweh Elohim.
Revelation 16:6 G3754 For the G129 blood G39 of holy ones G2532 and G4396 prophets G1632 they poured out, G2532 and G129 [2them blood G1473 G1325 1you gave] G4095 to drink, G514 [2worthy G1510.2.6 1they are].
These people being harmed killed the saints and the prophets. This is why they are being judged. Again, do not feel sorry for them.
Revelation 16:8 G2532 And G3588 the G5067 fourth G32 angel G1632 poured out G3588 G5357 his bowl G1473 G1909 upon G3588 the G2246 sun, G2532 and G1325 was given G1473 to him G2739 to scorch G3588 the G444 men G1722 by G4442 fire.
9 G2532 And G2739 [3were scorched G3588 1the G444 2men G2738 5sweltering heat G3173 4with a great], G2532 and G987 [3blasphemed G3588 1the G444 2men] G3588 the G3686 name G3588 G2316 of God, G3588 of the one G2192 having G3588 the G1849 authority G1909 over G3588 G4127 these calamities; G3778 G2532 and G3756 they repented not G3340 G1325 to give G1473 to him G1391 glory.
We want to note that their man-beast, the image of the man-beast, Drakōn, and Satanas, have no power to stop these judgments. Yet the people will not repent. Certainly people should realize the inferiority of the ones they serve.
Revelation 16:10 G2532 And G3588 the G3991 fifth G32 angel G1632 poured out G3588 G5357 his bowl G1473 G1909 upon G3588 the G2362 throne G3588 of the G2342 beast, G2532 and G1096 [2became G3588 G932 1his kingdom] G1473 G4656 enveloped in darkness; G2532 and G3145 they gnawed G3588 G1100 their tongues G1473 G1537 because of G3588 the G4192 misery;
11 G2532 and G987 they blasphemed G3588 the G2316 God G3588 G3772 of heaven G1537 because of G3588 G4192 their miseries, G1473 G2532 and G1537 because of G3588 G1668 their sores, G1473 G2532 and G3756 they repented not G3340 G1537 of G3588 G2041 their works. G1473
12 G2532 And G3588 the G1622 sixth G32 angel G1632 poured out G3588 G5357 his bowl G1473 G1909 upon G3588 the G4215 [2river G3588 G3173 1great] G3588 G* Euphrates, G2532 and G3583 [2was dried up G3588 G5204 1its water], G1473 G2443 that G2090 [5should be prepared G3588 1the G3598 2way G3588 3of the G935 4kings], G3588 the ones G575 from G395 the risings G2246 of the sun.
Here we see that the Euphrates is dried up with the purpose of making an easy way for the kings of the earth to gather at Armageddon. Demons go out through the earth at this time to gather these kings.
Revelation 16:16 G2532 And G4863 he gathered them together G1473 G1519 to G3588 the G5117 place G3588 G2564 being called G* in Hebrew, G* Armageddon.
17 G2532 And G3588 the G1442 seventh G32 angel G1632 poured out G3588 G5357 his bowl G1473 G1519 into G3588 the G109 air; G2532 and G1831 came forth G5456 [2voice G3173 1a great] G575 from G3588 the G3485 temple G3588 of the G3772 heaven, G575 from G3588 the G2362 throne, G3004 saying, G1096 It has taken place.
The seventh bowl brings another calamity which is giant hail which falls on the blasphemers of the Elohim.
Revelation 16:21 G2532 And G5464 [2hail G3173 1great] G5613 as G5006 a talent weight G2597 descends G1537 out of G3588 the G3772 heaven G1909 upon G3588 the G444 men. G2532 And G987 [3blasphemed G3588 1the G444 2men] G3588 G2316 God G1537 because of G3588 the G4127 calamity G3588 of the G5464 hail, G3754 for G3173 [4great G1510.2.3 2is G3588 G4127 1its calamity G1473 G4970 3exceedingly]
In order to blaspheme the Elohim one must know the Elohim exists. Think about this, the people on earth realize they and those they worship have no power over the Elohim so they blaspheme the Elohim, yet, they do not repent.
John is now going to be given the information of Babylon, the Mystery. The mystery stems from the first original sin of Babylon. If we go back to Nimrod and what happened during his time we find that he used a public shaming initiative to turn people away from giving the Elohim thanks and recognition for things in their daily lives, such as growing crops or making things. The push was for people to stop giving glory to God but to give glory to themselves. If they got good amounts of rain they were not to thank the Elohim etc. As people did this they separated all parts of their daily lives from the Elohim. They became disconnected and did things in their own power and glorified themselves for it. They essentially became self sufficient instead of Elohim dependent.
Revelation 17:1 G2532 And G2064 came G1520 one G1537 of G3588 the G2033 seven G32 angels G3588 of the ones G2192 having G3588 the G2033 seven G5357 bowls, G2532 and G2980 he spoke G3326 with G1473 me, G3004 saying, G1204 Come, G1166 I will show G1473 to you G3588 the G2917 judgment G3588 of the G4204 [2harlot G3588 G3173 1great], G3588 the one G2521 sitting G1909 upon G3588 the G5204 [2waters G3588 G4183 1many],
2 G3326 with G3739 whom G4203 [5committed harlotry G3588 1the G935 2kings G3588 3of the G1093 4earth], G2532 and G3184 [5were intoxicated G3588 1the ones G2730 2dwelling on G3588 3the G1093 4earth] G1537 of G3588 the G3631 wine G3588 G4202 of her harlotry. G1473
3 G2532 And G667 he carried me away G1473 G1519 into G2048 the wilderness G1722 in G4151 spirit. G2532 And G1492 I saw G1135 a woman G2521 sitting G1909 upon G2342 [2beast G2847 1a scarlet], G1073 being full G3686 of names G988 of blasphemy, G2192 having G2776 [2heads G2033 1seven] G2532 and G2768 [2horns G1176 1ten].
4 G2532 And G3588 the G1135 woman G1510.7.3 was G4016 wearing G4209 purple G2532 and G2847 scarlet, G5558 gilded G5557 with gold, G2532 and G3037 [2stone G5093 1precious] G2532 and G3135 pearls, G2192 having G5552 a golden G4221 cup G1722 in G3588 G5495 her hand G1473 G1073 full G946 of abominations G2532 and G3588 the G168 uncleanlinesses G3588 G4202 of her harlotry. G1473
5 G2532 And G1909 upon G3588 G3359 her forehead G1473 G3686 a name G1125 being written, G3466 Mystery, G* Babylon G3588 the G3173 great, G3588 the G3384 mother G3588 of the G4204 harlots G2532 and G3588 of the G946 abominations G3588 of the G1093 earth.
6 G2532 And G1492 I saw G3588 the G1135 woman G3184 being intoxicated G1537 of G3588 the G129 blood G3588 of the G39 holy ones, G2532 and G1537 of G3588 the G129 blood G3588 of the G3144 witnesses G* of Jesus. G2532 And G2296 I marveled, G1492 having seen G1473 her, G2295 [2wonder G3173 1with great].
The mystery is that this push to separate from the Elohim was also started in the cradle and followed people to the grave. As people lived and worked they were shamed for talking about the Elohim and shamed for believing in the Elohim’s help. This is the mystery religion. It became a religion separated from the Elohim. Today Babylon raises our children in daycare and public schools and we are not allowed to talk about Jesus Messiah. Babylon infiltrates the workplace with all kinds of insane ideas severing us from the Elohim and shaming us if we talk about Jesus to one another. We are allowed one hour per week to visit a place to worship the Elohim, but even that would label us fanatics. Babylons’ system severs us from the Elohim and replaces the Elohim with commerce, trade, trafficking, and slavery.
John is told about various kingdoms that will participate with the woman and with the man-beast. The woman Babylon will have seven kingdoms under her. The man-beast will form ten new kingdoms under him as the beast rises to kill Babylon. The kingdoms will then go on to make war with the Lamb.
Revelation 17:14 G3778 These G3326 [2against G3588 3the G721 4lamb G4170 1shall wage war], G2532 and G3588 the G721 lamb G3528 will overcome G1473 them, G3754 for G2962 [2Lord G2962 3of lords G1510.2.3 1he is] G2532 and G935 king G935 of kings; G2532 and G3588 the ones G3326 with G1473 him G2822 are called, G2532 and G1588 chosen, G2532 and G4103 trustworthy.
This event is still future. The angel then speaks of the current governments at the time of the bowl judgments.
Revelation 17:15 G2532 And G3004 he says G1473 to me, G3588 The G5204 waters G3739 which G1492 you saw, G3739 where G3588 the G4204 harlot G2521 sits, G2992 [2peoples G2532 3and G3793 4multitudes G1510.2.6 1are], G2532 and G1484 nations, G2532 and G1100 languages.
16 G2532 And G3588 the G1176 ten G2768 horns G3739 which G1492 you saw G1909 upon G3588 the G2342 beast, G3778 these G3404 shall detest G3588 the G4204 harlot, G2532 and G2049 [3being made desolate G4160 1they shall cause G1473 2her], G2532 and G1131 [3naked G4160 1shall make G1473 2her], G2532 and G3588 G4561 [2her flesh G1473 G2068 1shall devour], G2532 and G1473 shall incinerate her G2618 G1722 by G4442 fire.
17 G3588 G1063 For G2316 God G1325 gave G1519 to G3588 G2588 their hearts G1473 G4160 to do G3588 G1106 his design, G1473 G2532 and G4160 to do G1106 [2design G1520 1one], G2532 and G1325 to give G3588 G932 their kingdom G1473 G3588 to the G2342 beast, G891 until G5055 [4shall be fulfilled G3588 1the G3056 2words G3588 G2316 3of God].
18 G2532 And G3588 the G1135 woman G3739 whom G1492 you saw G1510.2.3 is G3588 the G4172 [2city G3588 G3173 1great], G3588 the one G2192 having G932 kingship G1909 over G3588 the G935 kings G3588 of the G1093 earth.
The angel wraps up the political field with the understanding that the beast hates Babylon and incinerates her. What we know is that Babylon was such an integrated system in the world that no one actually knew it was there. From cradle to grave we all were born and raised into her system. The information about the kings and kingdoms is where we have to reign ourselves in a bit, the saints are not on the earth and there are only about 2 billion people left. Nothing we see today can determine what these kingdoms will look like.
What we do know is that Yahweh will never punish anyone who truly and honestly follows him. We have too many pseudo preachers who are determined to smear the love the Elohim has for us just to put us in bondage and fear so that we will follow them, the false preachers. They sky is not falling on anyone who worships Yahweh Jesus Messiah. There are repeated opportunities to opt out of the tribulation, but the best bet is to start now in receiving Jesus as Yahweh and Messiah and believe the Elohim rose him up on the third day. But if that opportunity is missed, one can simply lay down their life during the tribulation for Jesus Messiah. We will learn more about the insidious system of Babylon next week.
