Book of Daniel
Dan.7
[1]
In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions
of his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream, and told the sum of the
matters.
[2]
Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night,
and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea.
[3]
And four great beasts came up from
the sea, diverse one from another.
[4] The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld till the wings
thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon
the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it.
[5]
And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on
one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and
they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh.
[6]
After this I beheld, and lo another (3rd),
like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the
beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it.
[7]
After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and
it had great iron teeth: it devoured and broke in pieces, and stamped the
residue with the feet of it:
and it was diverse from all
the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.
[8]
I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little
horn, before whom there were three of the first horns
plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of
man, and a mouth speaking great things.
[9]
I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the
hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire.
[10] A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him,
and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and
the books were opened.
[11]
I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spoke: I
beheld even till the beast was slain,
and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame.
[12]
As concerning the rest of the beasts,
they had their dominion taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season
and time.
[13]
I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient
of days, and they brought him near before him.
[14] And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom,
that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an
everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which
shall not be destroyed.
[15]
I Daniel was grieved in my spirit in the midst of my body, and the visions of
my head troubled me.
[16]
I came near unto one of them that stood by, and asked him the truth of all
this. So he told me, and made me know
the interpretation of the things.
[17]
These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of
the earth.
[18]
But the saints of the most High shall take the
kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever.
[19]
Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass; which
devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet;
[20] And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which
came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a
mouth that spake very great things, whose look was
more stout than his fellows.
[21] I beheld, and the same horn
made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;
[22]
Until the Ancient of days came, and
judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the
saints possessed the kingdom.
[23]
Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall
devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.
[24]
And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he
shall be diverse from the first, and
he shall subdue three kings.
[25] And he shall speak great
words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High,
and think to change times and
laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. - 3 ˝ years, approx. we believe…
[26]
But the judgment shall sit, and they
shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end.
[27]
And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole
heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all
dominions shall serve and obey him.
[28]
Hitherto is the end of the matter.
As for me Daniel, my cogitations much troubled me, and my countenance changed
in me: but I kept the matter in my heart.
Book of Revelation
Rev.6
[1] And I saw when the
Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one
of the four beasts saying, Come and see.
[2] And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a
bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to
conquer.
[3] And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast
say, Come and see.
[4] And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given
to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill
one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.
[5] And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say,
Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a
pair of balances in his hand.
[6] And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley
for a penny; and see you hurt not the oil and the wine.
[7] And when he had opened
the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
[8] And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell
followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the
earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
Rev.11
[1] And there was given
me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood,
saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that
worship therein.
[2] But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it
not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread
under foot forty and two months. 42
months = approx. 3 ˝ years
[3] And I will give
power unto my two witnesses, and
they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in
sackcloth.
[4] These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing
before the God of the earth.
[5] And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth
out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and
if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
[6] These have power to shut heaven, that it
rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them
to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.
[7] And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that
ascends out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall
overcome them, and kill them.
[8] And their dead
bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called
Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
[9] And they of the people and kindreds and
tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and
shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.
[10] And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and
make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets
tormented them that dwelt on the earth.
[11] And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God
entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon
them which saw them.
[12] And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up
hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld
them.
[13] And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part
of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of
men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God
of heaven.
Rev.13
[1] And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise
up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten
crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
[2] And the beast which I saw was like
unto a leopard, and his feet were as
the feet of a bear, and his mouth as
the mouth of a lion: and the
dragon gave him his power, and his
seat, and great authority.
[3] And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death;
and his deadly wound was healed: and
all the world wondered after the beast
[4] And they worshipped the dragon which
gave power unto the beast: and they
worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
[5] And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and
blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
[6] And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his
name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
[7] And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to
overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds,
and tongues, and nations.
[8] And all
that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb
slain from the foundation of the world.
[9] If any man have an ear, let him hear.
[10] He that leads into captivity shall go into captivity: he that kills
with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the
faith of the saints.
False
prophet
[11] And I beheld
another beast coming
up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
[12] And he exercises all the power of the first beast before
him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell
therein to worship the first beast, whose
deadly wound was healed.
[14] And deceives them that dwell on the earth by the means
of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast;
saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast,
which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
[15] And he had power to give life unto the image of
the beast, that the image of the beast should
both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
[17] And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had
the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
[18] Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count
the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his
number is Six hundred threescore and six.
Rev.14
[3] And they sung as it were a new song before the throne,
and before the four beasts, and the elders: and
no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which
were redeemed from the earth.
[9] And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud
voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and
receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
[10] The same shall
drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into
the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone
in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
[11] And the smoke
of their torment ascends up for ever and ever: and
they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and
whosoever receives the mark of his name.
Rev.15
[1] And I saw another
sign in heaven, great and marvelous, seven angels having the seven last
plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God.
[2] And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire:
and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his
image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of
glass, having the harps of God.
[3] And they sing the
song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are your
works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are your ways, you King of saints.
[4] Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify your name? for you only are holy: for all nations shall come and
worship before thee; for your judgments are made manifest.
[5] And after that I
looked, and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven
was opened:
[6] And the seven angels came out of the temple, having the seven
plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and having their breasts girded with
golden girdles.
[7] And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven
angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who lives for ever and ever.
[8] And the temple was
filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power; and no man was
able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were
fulfilled.
Rev.16
[1] And I heard a great
voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out
the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.
[2] And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the
earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast,
and upon them which worshipped his image.
[3] And the second angel
poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and
every living soul died in the sea.
[4] And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains
of waters; and they became blood.
[5] And I heard the angel of the waters say, you are righteous, O Lord,
which are, and wast, and shalt
be, because you have judged thus.
[6] For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and you have
given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.
[7] And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God
Almighty, true and righteous are your judgments.
[8] And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was
given unto him to scorch men with fire.
[9] And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of
God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him
glory.
[10] And the fifth
angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom
was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain,
[11] And blasphemed the
God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their
deeds.
[12] And the sixth angel
poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was
dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.
[13] And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of
the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out
of the mouth of the false prophet.
[14] For they are the
spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth
and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God
Almighty.
[15] Behold, I come as a
thief. Blessed is he that watches, and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked,
and they see his shame.
[16] And he gathered
them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. = mount / hill Megiddo
[17] And the seventh angel poured out his vial
into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from
the throne, saying, It is done.
[18] And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings;
and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the
earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.
[19] And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of
the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give
unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
[20] And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.
[21] And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone
about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of
the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.
Rev.17
[1] And there came one
of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto
me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment
of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
[2] With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the
inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
[3] So he carried me away in the spirit into the
wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet colored beast,
full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
[4] And the woman was
arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with
gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of
abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
[5] And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF
HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
[6] And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with
the blood of the martyrs of Yeshua: and when I saw
her, I wondered with great admiration.
[7] And the angel said unto me, Wherefore
didst you marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that
carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten
horns.
[8] The beast that you saw was, and is
not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and
they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the
book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that
was, and is not, and yet is.
[9] And here is the mind
which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sits.
[10] And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the
other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must
continue a short space.
[11] And the beast that was, and is not,
even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth
into perdition.
[12] And the ten horns which you saw are ten kings, which
have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.[13] These have one mind, and shall give their power
and strength unto the beast.
[12] And the ten horns
which you sawest are ten kings, which have received
no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
[13] These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto
the beast.
[14] These shall make war with the Lamb, and the
Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and
they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
[15] And he said unto
me, The waters which you sawest,
where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes,
and nations, and tongues.
[16] And the ten horns which you saw upon the beast,
these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall
eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
[17] For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto
the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
[18] And the woman which
you sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
Rev.19
4] And the four and twenty
elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on
the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia.
[19] And I saw the beast, and the kings of the
earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on
the horse, and against his army.
[20] And the beast was taken, and with him
the false prophet that wrought
miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of
the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
Rev.20
[4] And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment
was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the
witness of Yeshua, and for the word of God, and which
had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had
received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and
reigned with Christ a thousand years.
[10] And the devil that deceived them was cast into the
lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and
the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for
ever and ever.
In
closing for today:
This
is a lot to think about. The future is not so bright for the future.
Thanks
for being here, may God bless you.
