In her was found the blood of prophets and of God’s holy people, of all who have been slaughtered on the earth.

 Revelation 18:1-24

After this I saw another angel coming down from heaven.

“‘Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great!’ She has become a dwelling for demons and a haunt for every impure spirit, a haunt for every unclean bird, a haunt for every unclean and detestable animal. For all the nations have drunk the maddening wine of her adulteries. The kings of the earth committed adultery with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from her excessive luxuries.”

Then I heard another voice from heaven say: ‘Come out of her, my people,’ so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues; for her sins are piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her crimes.

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.

Woe! Woe to you, great city, dressed in fine linen, purple and scarlet, and glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls! Woe! Woe to you, great city, where all who had ships on the sea became rich through her wealth! In one hour she has been brought to ruin!’

In her was found the blood of prophets and of God’s holy people, of all who have been slaughtered on the earth.”

Why?

Babylon means the all impure spirit, adulteries, and excessive luxuries. It means all who search the rich, luxurious life and have sinned against the Lord.

All God's holy people, of all who have been slaughtered on the earth, the Lord will comfort them.

How?

Keep our faith in Jesus and show our love to others. Trust in Jesus Christ is my salvation and only hope.

The Seven Bowls of God’s Wrath

 Revelation 16:1-21

Then I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels, “Go, pour out the seven bowls of God’s wrath on the earth.”

The first angel went and poured out his bowl on the land, and ugly, festering sores broke out on the people who had the mark of the beast and worshiped its image.

The second angel poured out his bowl on the sea, and it turned into blood like that of a dead person, and every living thing in the sea died.

The third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and springs of water, and they became blood.

The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and the sun was allowed to scorch people with fire. They were seared by the intense heat and they cursed the name of God, who had control over these plagues, but they refused to repent and glorify him.

The fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and its kingdom was plunged into darkness. But they refused to repent of what they had done. 

The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the East.

The seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and out of the temple came a loud voice from the throne, saying, “It is done!” Then there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder and a severe earthquake. No earthquake like it has ever occurred since mankind has been on earth, so tremendous was the quake. 

Every island fled away and the mountains could not be found. From the sky huge hailstones, each weighing about a hundred pounds, fell on people. And they cursed God on account of the plague of hail, because the plague was so terrible.

Why?

There is nothing left in the world, for everything is destroyed after the seven bowls are poured. 

How sad to many human beings, even before they are dead, still refuse to repent and glorify the Lord.

How?

It reminds me to not always focus on my work but also care about the lives around me!

Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on

 Revelation 14:1-19

And they sang a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders. No one could learn the song except the 144,000 who had been redeemed from the earth. These are those who did not defile themselves with women, for they remained virgins. They follow the Lamb wherever he goes. They were purchased from among mankind and offered as firstfruits to God and the Lamb. No lie was found in their mouths; they are blameless.

He said in a loud voice, “Fear God and give him glory, because the hour of his judgment has come. Worship him who made the heavens, the earth, the sea and the springs of water.”

A second angel followed and said, “‘Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great,’which made all the nations drink the maddening wine of her adulteries.”

A third angel followed them and said in a loud voice: “If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives its mark on their forehead or on their hand, they, too, will drink the wine of God’s fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath. They will be tormented with burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb.

Then I heard a voice from heaven say, “Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.”

“Yes,” says the Spirit, “they will rest from their labor, for their deeds will follow them.”

Why?

John wrote down in God's command, let us know what this world will be, and encourage us to follow Jesus Christ. 

All who worship the beast will be burned and dead forever with the beast.

Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord, their spirit and life will be with the Lord with joy in heaven.

How?

Do what I can to preach the Gospel until one day I meet the Lord!

Whoever has ears, let them hear. “If anyone is to go into captivity, into captivity they will go

 Revelation 13:1-18

dragon, a beast coming out of the sea. The whole world was filled with wonder and followed the beast.

People worshiped the dragon because he had given authority to the beast, and they also worshiped the beast and asked, “Who is like the beast? Who can wage war against it?”

All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast—all whose names have not been written in the Lamb’s book of life, the Lamb who was slain from the creation of the world.

Whoever has ears, let them hear. “If anyone is to go into captivity, into captivity they will go. If anyone is to be killed with the sword, with the sword they will be killed.”

It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads,  so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name.

This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. That number is 666.

Why?

We don't know what these beasts are. Maybe they are AI in our generation, or man-made machines with wisdom and power.

We can use AI to work for us; one day, AI can control us too. But AI needs energy, energy is in the hands of the Lord.

How?

Day after day, year after year, we don't know what will be tomorrow. But I know the Lord still control all universe until end of this world.

They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony

Revelaton 12:1-17

Then another sign appeared in heaven: an enormous red dragon with seven heads and ten horns and seven crowns on its heads. Its tail swept a third of the stars out of the sky and flung them to the earth. The dragon stood in front of the woman who was about to give birth, so that it might devour her child the moment he was born.

She gave birth to a son, a male child, who “will rule all the nations with an iron scepter.” And her child was snatched up to God and to his throne. The woman fled into the wilderness to a place prepared for her by God, where she might be taken care of for 1,260 days. (About 3.5 Years)

Then war broke out in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.

Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: “Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Messiah. For the accuser of our brothers and sisters, who accuses them before our God day and night, has been hurled down.

They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.

Why?

There are wars between angels, including God's children and dragons; finally, the devil and dragon were cast out from heaven and defeated.

We are the rest of her offspring - those who obey God's commandments and hold to the testimony of Jesus.

How?

Keeping and honestly obeying God's commandments and holding to the testimony of Jesus is the way to eternal life.

The survivors were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven

 Revelation 11:1-19

They have power to shut up the heavens so that it will not rain during the time they are prophesying; and they have power to turn the waters into blood and to strike the earth with every kind of plague as often as they want.

Now when they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up from the Abyss will attack them, and overpower and kill them. Their bodies will lie in the public square of the great city—which is figuratively called Sodom and Egypt—where also their Lord was crucified.

For three and a half days some from every people, tribe, language and nation will gaze on their bodies and refuse them burial. 

But after the three and a half days the breath of life from God entered them, and they stood on their feet, and terror struck those who saw them. Then they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here.” And they went up to heaven in a cloud, while their enemies looked on.

At that very hour, there was a severe earthquake and a tenth of the city collapsed. Seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the survivors were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.

The seventh angel sounded his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, which said: “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Messiah, and he will reign for ever and ever.”

Then God’s temple in heaven was opened, and within his temple was seen the ark of his covenant. And there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, an earthquake and a severe hailstorm.

Why?

This is the end of the world, and it is the time of the Lord. Welcome his people to come up to heaven, and all the images described in the Old Testament could be seen this time.

It is hard to imagine this feature for us. John described detailed information, encouraging us to have faith, walk in the way of faith, live, and hope.

How?

Because I believe Jesus is the Son of the Lord, so believe all that the Bible mentions about the Lord, Jesus Christ, and the Bible. My mission is to preach the gospel to more people.

You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, languages and kings

 Revelation 10:1-

“There will be no more delay! 7 But in the days when the seventh angel is about to sound his trumpet, the mystery of God will be accomplished, just as he announced to his servants the prophets.

Then the voice that I had heard from heaven spoke to me once more: “Go, take the scroll that lies open in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land.”

He said to me, “Take it and eat it. It will turn your stomach sour, but ‘in your mouth it will be as sweet as honey. I took the little scroll from the angel’s hand and ate it. It tasted as sweet as honey in my mouth, but when I had eaten it, my stomach turned sour. Then I was told, “You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, languages, and kings.

Why?
No one knows what will happen in the future, but the Lord let John see the future visions. And the Lord allowed part of the vision to be written down as a reminder to us.

The word of the Lord, described by John is prophesies many peoples, nations, languages, and kings. It does not happen as mentioned by men or kings.

How?

We don't need to know what or when the time of the Lord, but let faith, love, and hope stay in my heart and mind.
