"BEHOLD,
HE IS COMING WITH THE CLOUDS, and every eye will see Him, even those who
pierced Him; and all the tribes of the earth will mourn over Him. So it is to
be. Amen."
Clouds
should help us remember that Jesus is coming soon! 👍

''I
know where you dwell, where Satan's throne is; and you hold fast My name, and
did not deny My faith even in the days of Antipas, My witness, My faithful one,
who was killed among you, where Satan dwells."
It's
God's world. And Satan is God's Satan.
But
Satan is against us and is indeed the king of this world. All the rulers of
this world serve him!

"Those
whom I love, I reprove and discipline; therefore be zealous and repent."
When
you sin, remember there will be a chastening hand of God. Confess and humble
before God accepting the chastisement!

"After
these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven, and the
first voice which I had heard, like the sound of a trumpet speaking with me,
said, "Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after these
things." Immediately I was in the Spirit; and behold, a throne was
standing in heaven, and One sitting on the throne."
Heaven
has to be up because John was called to come up.

"You
have made them to be a kingdom and priests to our God; and they will reign upon
the earth."
We
were made to rule this earth. Adam and Eve spoiled the opportunity. That's why
we toil and labor for survival.
We
work hard and many times we don't get even what we have worked for. This is a
fallen world.
Most
of us aren't even living life, we are just surviving life— doing things not
because we are alive but to survive.
Jesus'
second coming will reverse the curse completely. We shall get more than what we
work for. We shall not do things to survive but we shall do them because we are
alive. We will enjoy life as no man has ever had or imagined.

"Then
the kings of the earth and the great men and the commanders and the rich and
the strong and every slave and free man hid themselves in the caves and among
the rocks of the mountains; and they *said to the mountains and to the rocks,
"Fall on us and hide us from the presence of Him who sits on the throne,
and from the wrath of the Lamb;"
Indeed,
it's terrible to have the God of the Universe mad/angry at you!

"For
this reason, they are before the throne of God; and they serve Him day and
night in His temple; and He who sits on the throne will spread His tabernacle
over them."
Those
who don't enjoy worshiping God or serving God here on earth will not want to
live in heaven.
Those
who hate to play or watch football will also think that Ronaldo and Messi are
living a very boring life.

"Then
I looked, and I heard an eagle crying with a loud voice as it flew directly
overhead, "Woe, woe, woe to those who dwell on the earth, at the blasts of
the other trumpets that the three angels are about to blow!"
Great
shall be the judgment upon the earth. However, the redeemed shall be delivered
from it.
ℝ𝕖𝕧𝕖𝕝𝕒𝕥𝕚𝕠𝕟 𝟡:𝟙𝟝
"So
the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour, the day, the month, and
the year, were released to kill a third of mankind."
God
is loving but He is wrathful also. On the day of Judgment, He shall kill people
like sports.

"When
the seven peals of thunder had spoken, I was about to write; and I heard a
voice from heaven saying, ‘Seal up the things which the seven peals of thunder
have spoken and do not write them.’"
There
are some things we are forbidden to know.
Curiosity
is not always good!

"saying,
'We give You thanks, O Lord God, the Almighty, who are and who were, because
You have taken Your great power and have begun to reign. And the nations were
enraged, and Your wrath came, and the time came for the dead to be judged, and
the time to reward Your bond-servants the prophets and the saints and those who
fear Your name, the small and the great, and to destroy those who destroy the
earth.'"
Surely,
God shall judge the earth fairly and justly: punishment and death for the
wicked; life and reward for the faithful.

"Then
I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, ‘Now the salvation, and the power, and
the kingdom of our God and the authority of His Christ have come, for the
accuser of our brethren has been thrown down, he who accuses them before our
God day and night.’"
Don't
undermine the effort of Satan. He works against you day and night!

"And
he opened his mouth in blasphemies against God, to blaspheme His name and His
tabernacle, that is, those who dwell in heaven."
Many
anti-christs (forerunners of the Antichrist) are already doing what he will do!
The time is nearer than before!

"and
he said with a loud voice, ‘Fear God, and give Him glory, because the hour of
His judgment has come; worship Him who made the heaven and the earth and sea
and springs of waters.’"
1.
Fear God
2.
Give God the glory
3.
Worship God

"Who
will not fear, O Lord, and glorify Your name? For You alone are holy; For ALL
THE NATIONS WILL COME AND WORSHIP BEFORE YOU, FOR YOUR RIGHTEOUS ACTS HAVE BEEN
REVEALED."
God
will not only be acknowledged as Lord by all human beings. He will be feared,
and will be acknowledged as just, good, and great!

"And
huge hailstones, about one hundred pounds each, *came down from heaven upon
men; and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail, because its
plague *was extremely severe."
The
world is using the name our Lord as a cuss word like anything, not surprising,
if the judgment has come now, they would do more rather than repent of it!
ℝ𝕖𝕧𝕖𝕝𝕒𝕥𝕚𝕠𝕟 𝟙𝟟:𝟞
"And
I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the
witnesses of Jesus. When I saw her, I wondered greatly."
Christians
are not exempted from suffering and death, rather are told to expect and endure
faithfully even to the extent of death!

“Then
a strong angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the
sea, saying, 'So will Babylon, the great city, be thrown down with violence,
and will not be found any longer.'”
The
wicked shall be forgotten someday. Only the memories of the good shall survive!

"And
the armies which are in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, were

"Then
death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death,
the lake of fire."
The
second death is the death of the death. After which no more shall die.

"and
He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any
death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first
things have passed away."
The

"He
who testifies to these things says, "Yes, I am coming quickly." Amen.
Come, Lord Jesus."
Do
we desire fervently the appearing of our Lord? We ought to...!
