when God closes the temple in heaven this prophecy will happen when these seven angels appear Everything Changes watch this video to the end and discover the worst judgment God leased on this Earth and those who will escape this judgment one day the Bible tells us that the actions of seven angels and a cherubim will change the world as we know it the Old Testament contains 15 books of Prophecy but the New Testament has just one revelation the Apostle John wrote Revelation while he was in Ephesus where he and Mary the mother of Jesus lived out
their lives and were buried Revelation was written toward the close of the first century during that period Emperor domian demanded that everyone burn incense to Caesar once a year on the Lord's Day people had to stand before an altar raise their hands and declare Caesar is Lord for early Christian groups this was a severe challenge their faith was evident Jesus is Lord they could not say Caesar is Lord without facing severe consequences it was crucial to see if the Christians would firmly hold on to their faith even before the writing of this book people were
already dying for their faith this entire book serves as a guide for those willing to die for what they believe initially the word martyr simply meant witness but it soon became clear that being a true Witness for Jesus might mean losing your life this is why the meaning of martyr changed to someone who dies for their faith in Jesus The Book of Revelation was written by John but it differs from John's gospel and his three letters this is because the Book of Revelation was given to John in a unique way God the Father gave it
to Jesus who then passed it to an angel the angel in turn passed it on to John who wrote it down for all the churches no other book in the Bible came about out in such a complex way John wrote what he saw and heard and sometimes what he saw was so extraordinary that the angel had to remind him 11 times to write it all down during his Visions John was taken up to heaven where he heard various voices and choirs singing and he had to make sure he wrote all of these things down Revelation
is an incredible book with a clear subject the return of our Lord Jesus Christ to Earth this event is predicted 318 times times in the Bible making it the most frequently mentioned prediction The Book of Revelation covers the events that occur before during and after the return of the Lord Jesus it is here we see the Bulls the temple of God in heaven is a mysterious Place many people do not even know that there is a temple in heaven this particular Temple is opened in Revelation 11 however when it is closed it spells an intense
warning and judgment on the entire world the worst the world has and ever will see it would be the final judgment on the world when the temple is first opened a lot of mysterious things happen first the Ark of the Covenant is rediscovered Revelation 11:19 and the temple of God which is in heaven was opened and the Ark of his Covenant appeared in his Temple and there were flashes of lightning and sounds and peels of thunder and an earthquake and a great hail storm the artifact is assumed to have been destroyed after King Nebuchadnezzar destroyed
Jerusalem the chest vanished after the temple was destroyed but John says in Revelation 11:19 that the ark will be seen again after Christ's Second Coming however everything is about to change seven angels appear in the temple and change everything after these things I looked and the temple sanctuary of the Tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened and the Seven Angels who had the seven plagues afflictions calamities came out of the temple arrayed in linen pure and gleaming and wrapped around their chests were golden sashes then one of the four living creatures gave to the
seven angels seven golden Bulls full of the Wrath and indignation of God who lives forever and ever and the temple was filled with smoke from the glory and Radiance and Splendor of God and from his power and no one was able to enter the temple until the seven plagues of the Seven Angels were finished Revelation 15 5-8 however this is not a judgment that is taken lightly by heaven in the previous chapter we saw how serious and important the preparation was for pouring the Bulls these angels are bringing God's judgment it's important to note that
they came straight from the Heavenly Temple from God's presence and Throne they are not acting on their own they even wear special clothing they wear pure bright linen their chests girded with golden bands this clothing reminds us that although judgments are terrible they come from a righteous Source it is easy to think that unpleasant judgments only come from Evil sources this shows us the very opposite there will be a significant judgment on the earth and nobody can do anything about this judgment because it comes from a righteous God yes there are evil angels in the
Bible who have been and will be released to cause havoc and destruction but this is not the case here the Bible has a reason for being clear on this these are righteous Angels not Fallen Angels the Bulls are given to these angels and The Cloud of God's glory fills the temple during this time you can imagine that the unbelieving world does not know the pain of judgment about to befall them this also shows that things seen in the physical are first prepared in the spiritual men can detect rain and wind patterns but God's ways differ
there is no scientific procedure to check the goings of on in God's Temple we are only aware of these Mysteries because God shared them with his children we can at least take peace in this many Christians do not realize that they already have answers that the world seeks including how it will all end the order of Heaven is simply excellent one of the four living creatures close to God's Throne gives these Bulls to these seven angels the four living creatures John sees are full of eyes and have different forms a lion an ox a human
and an eagle this proves that these judgments come from the very Throne of God when this judgment starts no one is even allowed to enter the temple of God this shows that heaven does not take this judgment lightly there is no stopping this judgment as soon as it begins Heaven is ready the temple is closed the seven angels are ready and man is ready to take these bowls then I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels go and pour out on the earth the seven bows of the Wrath and indignation
of God so the first Angel went and poured out his bowl on the earth and loathsome and malignant Soares came on the people who had the mark of the beast and who worshiped His Image Revelation 16 1-2 Amplified Bible a voice comes from the temple is this the voice of Jesus in Revelation heavenly voices often represent Christ but not always since the wicked have mistreated the Earthly Temple judgment now comes from the Heavenly Temple these Bulls focus more on human rebellion and judge more areas than other judgments did the first bow Revelation 16:2 New American
Standard Bible so the first Angel went and poured out his bow on the earth and a harmful and painful soar Afflicted the people who had the mark of the beast and who worshiped His Image most of the Bulls like the trumpet remind us of the plagues from The Exodus painful Soares turning water into blood and darkness by reminding us of these plagues these judgments show us that just as God protected his people in Goan during the plagues he will also protect them from his judgments the last two bows represent the final battle and the completion
of God's promises the first bull brings painful and harmful sores to those who worship the image and have the mark of the beast people who choose to follow God are not affected by this bull it's only for those who follow the Antichrist this passage shows God's anger being poured out on Humanity which was created on the 6th day Genesis 1 Revelation 13:18 tells us this represents the six Egyptian plague of boils that hits those with the 666 mark of the beast those who worship the creature instead of the Creator the second bowl Revelation 163 the
second Angel poured out his bowl into the sea and it became blood like that of a dead man and every living thing in the sea died earlier a third of the Sea's life was gone and now with this bowl the rest is gone the oceans are lifeless God's anger is shown in the ocean fish were a fantastic food source when God created the waters on the fifth day but now with the second bowl the ocean's blessing is destroyed just like in the sixth plague where Egypt's Waters turned to blood and caused death for the Egyptians
the ocean now brings death with the third Bowl the rivers and springs turn to blood Revelation 16 4-7 New American Standard Bible then the third Angel poured out his bowl into the rivers and the Springs of waters and they became blood and I heard the angel of the waters saying righteous are you the one who is and who was oh holy one because you judged these things for they poured out the blood of saints and Prophets and you have given them blood to drink they deserve it and I heard the altar saying yes Lord God
the almighty true and righteous are your judgments the third Bowl turns all the fresh water into blood God is showing his judgment by saying that the wicked people on earth have spilled the blood of Believers and now they will drink this themselves this third Bowl reminds us of how the Nile river turned to blood during the first plague in Egypt the plague of water turning to blood happens again to make a strong point showing that God's judgment is right the Jewish people thought that different Angels were in charge of different parts of nature while Greeks
thought gods or Spirits were in charge in this case the angel in charge of the waters Praises God's fairness because the waters have turned to blood the praise from the angels and the altar is a major part of these judgments adding to what we've already heard from the trumpet judgments they talk about God's fairness and Holiness which ties back to the song of Moses that also talks about God's judgments the reason for recognizing God's fairness and Holiness here is because you have so judged the altar shows that God is fair and just it's clear because
it holds the prayers of the faithful whether it's the altar where sacrifices are made or the altar of inscense that's why it plays a part in God's judgments the scorching Sun revelation 16 8-9 and the fourth Angel poured out his bowl upon the sun and it was given power to Scorch people with fire and the people were scorched with Fierce heat and they blasphemed the name of God who has the power over these plagues and they did not repent so as to give him glory in the fourth Bowl the sun becomes extremely hot and burns
people making them Curse God even though they suffer they still don't change their ways or praise God very few people who Curse God actually start to repent and give him glory during this time the sun was meant to light up the day while the moon and stars light up the night now the sun which was a source of life is being used as a tool of death Darkness Revelation 1610 through1 and the fifth angel poured out his Bull on the throne of the Beast and his kingdom became darkened and they gnawed their tongues because of
pain and they blasphemed the god of Heaven because of their pain and their sword and they did not repent of their deeds this bull makes the antichrist's realm dark but even with the darkness people still curse God and refuse to change their sinful ways the darkness surrounds the wicked instead of burning them like the sun it's similar to the last plague in Egypt where Darkness covered the land for 3 days and no one could see or move Jesus calls hell the outer Darkness where people will cry and grind their teeth in pain m Matthew 25:30
the plagues of burning Sun and darkness remind us of the Old Testament plague on Egypt's sun god Aman Reay and other events from The Exodus the darkness actually causes pain instead of seeing this as God's justice and repenting people only get angrier at God and continue to curse him War Revelation 161 12-16 the sixth Angel poured out his bowl on the Great River the Euphrates and its water was dried up so that the way would be prepared for the Kings from the East and I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon and out
of the mouth of the Beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet three unclean spirits like frogs for they are spirits of demons performing signs which go out to the kings of the entire world to gather them together for the war of the great day of God the almighty behold I am coming like a thief blessed is the one who stays awake and keeps clothes so that he will not walk about naked and people will not see his shame and they gathered them together to the place which in Hebrew is called har mageddon
in the sixth Bowl the huge Euphrates River dries up making it easier for the Kings from the East to come the drying up of the river also helps the devil the Antichrist and the false prophet trick the most powerful leaders they are getting ready for the big final battle against Jesus known as Armageddon armag again is mentioned specifically only once in the Bible in Revelation 16:16 and he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon despite its singular mention the concept has taken on significant importance in our thought and Imagination did
you know that Armageddon is derived from the Hebrew har megiddo har meaning mountain and megiddo which altogether means mountain of megiddo megiddo itself is a historical site located in modern-day Israel known for its strategic importance and as a place of numerous ancient battles however in the context of Revelation Armageddon is not just a physical location but symbolically represents the final battle between the forces of good and evil before the end of the world when people hear the word Armageddon they often think of big world-ending events the name makes people think of a big fight between
good and bad and is often used in movies and books to talk about the world ending but this name actually comes from old stories and places from a long time ago in the Middle East the connection between the apocalyptic Armageddon and the historical megiddo is profound this name wasn't picked randomly for the end times Battle it has a lot of history tied to that area's past troubles megiddo was an ancient city located at a strategic Crossroad in Northern Israel which connected the vital trade routes of Egypt to the South and Mesopotamia to the north this
geographical significance meant that whoever controlled megiddo had a distinct Advantage both economically and militarily because of its strategic importance the city became a focal point for many battles over the centuries notably the Bible recounts one of the earliest recorded battles at megiddo where the renowned judge of Israel Deborah and her General Barack triumphed over the Canaanite King jabin and his commander cicar in judges 5 in the ancient lands of Israel megiddo wasn't just any place it was a crucial Crossroad a place where many battles happened one of the most memorable battles there involved a Fearless
woman named Deborah and her loyal General Barack and so at middo through the faith and bravery of Deborah Barack and gel the Israelites saw the power of God at work bringing them Victory against overwhelming odds given its history as a Battleground it's not surprising ing that the prophetically inclined authors of the New Testament would draw upon megiddo Legacy as a metaphor for the ultimate confrontation between good and evil its history is filled with battles and fights which makes it a good symbol for the big final battle talked about in The Book of Revelation Revelation portrays
a great end times conflict between the forces of God and the forces of evil Armageddon in this narrative becomes the Gathering Place for the world's armies under the influ uence of the Dragon beast and false prophet to wage war against God and his people Revelation 1613 through 14 this final showdown represents more than just a physical battle it embodies a spiritual warfare that has raged throughout history with Armageddon serving as the ultimate of this Cosmic conflict in the final days before the great battle of Armageddon the world would bear witness to events unlike any in
its history unfolding in Rapid succession while the world sees a time of unparalleled unity and peace those with Discerning eyes would recognize the underlying tyranny and spiritual bankruptcy this unification rather than being a sign of Hope would be the Prelude to the final confrontation between good and evil at Armageddon as the world moves closer to this ultimate battle it would be crucial for believers to stay vigilant grounded in their faith and wary of the pervasive deception the events leading up to Armageddon would test the faith of many but would also serve as a testament to
the prophetic truths contained within the Bible the battle itself the skies darken and mysteriously silence grips the Earth over the plains of megiddo a vast Army assembles it's not just any army it is the force of the Antichrist people finally going against what God wants these armies converge to make a last stand against the will of the almighty as tensions rise a hush Falls over the land an impending storm is about to break loose suddenly piercing the darkened Sky a radiant beam of light illuminates The Horizon and there at the Forefront is a magnificent figure
arride a white horse the embodiment of righteousness and Justice it is Christ returning in all his glory with Christ a vast host of angels descends their radiant wing sparkling in the dim light their presence signifies the might and Majesty of Heaven standing in stark contrast to the dark Forces below flanking Christ are the Saints those who had remained faithful to him throughout the ages they too are on white horses dressed in pure white linen representing the righteousness of the Saints as the battle of Armageddon commences it is not like any other battle known to man
this is a battle between light and darkness good and evil the Divine and the profane the Angels welding the power of Heaven clash with the forces of the Antichrist the air is filled with the sound of swords and the cries of the Fallen but even in this Fierce conflict the might of the Antichrist and his armies is no match for the divine power of Christ and his Heavenly hosts with a word Christ brings forth judgment and the adversaries are struck down the Antichrist his false prophet are swiftly captured the battle of Armageddon foretold for ages
is Swift the forces of evil though vast and intimidating are destroyed in the face of divine intervention with the Antichrist defeated a new era Dawn Christ establishes his Millennial Kingdom bringing peace Justice and righteousness to the world no matter how powerful the forces of Darkness may seem they cannot Prevail against the omnipotent will of the almighty this epic confrontation is perceived as the moment when Evil's influence and Rebellion will be decisively defeated the importance of Armageddon in the Bible is rooted in the belief that it will end in God's victory over evil Revelation 19 11-
21 depicts Jesus Christ symbolized as a rider on a white horse leading the armies of Heaven against the Beast the false prophet and their followers this battle ends with the Beast and the false Prophet being thrown into the Lake of Fire Revelation 19:20 John 32-3 says beloved now are we the sons of God and it doth not yet appear what we shall be but we know that when he shall appear we shall be like him for we shall see him as he is and every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself even as
he is pure God's Fury Bowl number seven looks up to the sky and from the throne a loud voice says it's finished the seventh Bowl shows that the judgments are done Revelation 16:17 New American Standard Bible then the seventh angel poured out his bowl upon the air and a loud voice came out of the temple from the throne saying it is done this announcement coming directly from the throne tells us there will be no more delays in his mercy God has stretched out this time as long as possible first came the seals then the trumpets
and next the bowls but now there will be no more judgments on the earth it's finished the bowl being poured into the air may show judgment against the prince of the power of the air Ephesians 2:2 and his followers in these final judgments God shakes the Earth with a huge earthquake Hebrews 12:26 promises yet once more I shake not only the Earth but also Heaven what cannot be shaken will stay the fall of Babylon the great city is described more clearly in Revelation 17 and 18 here it's enough to know that God gives her the
cup of the wine of his Fierce anger the Greek word thymos meaning a passionate outburst and his wrath the Greek word oray meaning a steady anger giant hailstones weighing as much as 100 lb fell people reacted by cursing God because of the hail storm God often uses hail as a way to punish his enemies like in Egypt against the Canaanites rebellious Israel and Gog and Magog in these examples hail was sent from heaven as a form of judgment not to correct God's Own people even with all their suffering many still refuse to change their ways
some people think that if they were sick or in trouble they might turn to God but don't be fooled sickness and pain alone don't lead to Salvation hard times and suffering don't bring people to God what happens after this the new Heaven and the new Earth then I saw a new Heaven and a new Earth for the first Heaven and the first Earth had passed away and there was no longer any sea Revelation 211 Revelation is one of the most difficult books in the Bible to understand but while it is a challenge it cannot be
ignored God expects us to take the warning near the end of the book seriously the theme and title of the book are revealed in the first sentence the revelation of Jesus Christ refers to Christ's unveiling or disclosure of matters related to his second coming to Earth his servant John is the recipient of this information the apostles frequently refer to themselves as God's servants because being dependent on and yielded to God is the most effective way to hear his voice indeed as the Lord's servant John received God's word and Jesus Christ's testimony in Revelation 20 history
as we know it is over at this point and John begins to describe the Eternal state in which Believers will dwell unbelievers will exist in an eternal state that has already been described Revelation 20 14-15 and death and hell were cast into the Lake of Fire this is the second death and whosoever was not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the Lake of Fire Believers will live in a new Heaven and a new Earth because the first Heaven and the first Earth will pass away right now Christ dwells in a Heavenly
city with the souls of all believers who have died during the Millennium God's people will live and work on the earth we know now with their capital in Jerusalem but after God destroys and makes the Earth new he's going to send that Heavenly City down out of Heaven to the new Earth prepared like a bride adorned for her husband that City will be known as the New Jerusalem and will serve as the capital of the new creation and there in the midst of this new creation God will dwell and live with his people as we
live alongside our creator all sadness hurt and disappointment will be gone the idea that God will make everything new may appear too fantastic to be true but he claims that this promise is faithful and true his people will be completely satisfied in the new creation which is symbolized here by the metaphor of thirst being quenched from the spring of life's water when you're thirsty the refreshing satisfaction of Downing a cold glass of water pales in comparison to the spectacular satisfaction that awaits you every saved person will live in the new creation but the Christian who
is fully committed the one who conquers will inherit an even greater reward and God will dwell with him with greater intimacy as a father does with his son although believers will live throughout the new creation the angel directs John's attention to the capital of the new Earth this city will shine brighter than a cut diamond because it will be adorned with God's glory the city's massive high wall symbolizes its inhabitants identity first the names of Israel's 12 tribes sons are inscribed on the gates indicating that Old Testament Israel Believers will be present within it second
the city wall is depicted with 12 foundations each with the names of the 12 Apostles of the Lamb written on it this denotes the presence of Believers from the New Testament era's Church the Lord's Old and New Covenant followers will coexist in the new creation during the tribulation and Millennium there will be a temple in Jerusalem however there will be no temple in the New Jerusalem because a physical representation of God's presence is no longer required his direct presence will be with us the city does not need the Sun or the moon to sh shine
on it for the glory of God gives it light and the lamb is its lamp the Nations will walk by its light and the kings of the earth will bring their Splendor into it on no day will its Gates ever be shut for there will be no night there the glory and honor of the Nations will be brought into it Revelation 21 23-26 there will be no need for the sun or moon in the city because the glory of God will illuminate it and its lamp will be the lamb our sun is 93 million miles
away but its power is enough to illuminate the Earth God's presence on the other hand can easily replace the sun because the Lord possesses even greater power and Radiance the fact that there will never be night there implies that Believers glorified bodies will never tire and need to sleep furthermore we will not become bored on the new Earth Nations and Kings will function in a national context bringing their glor Glory and Honor into the city everyone will visit the New Jerusalem as the Pinnacle of their lives on the new Earth and why not given its
magnificence nothing impure will ever enter it nor will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful but only those whose names are written in the Lamb's Book of Life Revelation 21:27 while the invitation to dwell in this city is universal the requirements to enter are specific nothing unclean will ever enter it nor will anyone who does what is detestable or false but only those whose names are written in the Lamb's Book of Life who have accepted Jesus as their Savior by faith
