Lesson 23 of 29
Revelation 14:6-20
6 And I saw another angel
fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel
to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every
nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,
7 Saying with a loud voice,
Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment
is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and
the sea, and the fountains of waters.
8 And there followed another
angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great
city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of
the wrath of her fornication.
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 ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no
rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image,
and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
12 Here is the patience
of the saints: here are they that
keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
13 And I heard a voice
from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed
are the dead which die in the Lord
from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest
from their labours; and their works do follow them.
14 And I looked, and behold
a white cloud, and upon the cloud one
sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden
crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.
15 And another angel came
out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that
sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the
time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth
is ripe.
16 And he that sat on the
cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was
reaped.
17 And another angel came
out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp
sickle.
18 And another angel came
out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried
with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying,
Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the
vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.
19 And the angel thrust
in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the
earth, and cast it into the great
winepress of the wrath of God.
20 And the winepress was
trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress,
even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand
and six hundred furlongs.
Revelation 7:1-3
1 And after these things
I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth,
holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should
not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.
2 And I saw another angel
ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God:
and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom
it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
3 And there shall be no
more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall
be in it; and his servants shall serve him:
4 And they shall see his
face; and his name shall be in
their foreheads.
Ezekiel 9:3, 4
3 And the glory of the
God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon he
was, to the threshold of the house. And he called to the
man clothed with linen, which had
the writer's inkhorn by his side;
4 And the LORD said unto
him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst
of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men
that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be
done in the midst thereof.
Ezekiel 20:12, 20
12 Moreover also I gave
them my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that
they might know that I am the LORD
that sanctify them.
20 And hallow my sabbaths;
and they shall be a sign between me and you, that ye may
know that I am the LORD your God.
Exodus 31:13, 17
13 Speak thou also unto
the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall
keep: for it is a

17 It
is a sign between me and the children
of Israel for ever: for in six
days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh
day he rested, and was refreshed.
9 Six days shalt thou labour,
and do all thy work:
10 But the seventh day
is the sabbath of the LORD thy
God: in it thou shalt not do any
work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant,
nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that
is within thy gates:
11 For
in six days the LORD made heaven
and earth, the sea, and all that in them
is, and rested the seventh day:
wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed
it.
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.
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.
Revelation 15:1-3
1 And I saw another sign
in heaven, great and marvellous, 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 thy
works, Lord God Almighty; just and true
are thy ways, thou King of
saints.
Isaiah 41:10, 13
10 Fear thou not; for I
am with thee: be not dismayed;
for I am thy God: I will strengthen
thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with
the right hand of my righteousness.
13 For I the LORD thy God
will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I
will help thee.
**To show that we have nothing to fear.
ALL, both righteous and wicked will be
under pressure, but those with the mark of the beast must face the
wrath of
God in the seven last plagues.
