Date: 1/12/99 12:25:13 PM Eastern Standard Time
From: SERVFATHER
Now let us get back to Revelation and The next thing to do is to recap the last few chapters and to take a look at the next two chapters also.
In Chapter 14 It tells us what will happen on earth, during the time of the Antichrist.
In Chapter 15 it tells us what will happen in heaven.
In Chapter 16 we will see what will happen to the people of the earth.
In Chapter 17 will tell us who the players are and what power they have.
You have to understand the Father has told us everything we need to know about this time on earth, it is nothing to be afraid of, because he will protect us, if we do things his way. If we are afraid and do not trust him, and think we are going to be gone of the earth at the time of the Antichrist, then there will be great "tribulation" or "pressure" upon us. All you have to do is follow his Word and do what it has instructed us, do not listen to any man, listen to the Father and his Word. The time is coming upon us soon.
Mark 13:23 But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.
The Word tells us that we have been told about everything we need to know.
24 But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,
Then the word tells us that there will be a "tribulation", before he returns. That word tribulation means pressure, will you have to go through the pressure?
Let us study Revelation 16.
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.
What happens on earth and how the great deception takes place.
A great voice came out from the temple, commanding the seven angels, depart and pour out the bowls of the anger of the Lord, onto the earth.
Revelation 16:2
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.
The first thing that happened to the earth was, that the people who worked for Satan and looking up to the system became "lepers."
To be a "leper" means that you are spiritually sick and it is so bad that it is an evil and bad thing and they are spotted.
This type of thing was mentioned many times in the Word. There is nothing new under the sun, the Father is the same yesterday,today and tomorrow.
Exod 9:9 And it shall become small dust in all the land of Egypt, and shall be a boil breaking forth with blains upon man, and upon beast, throughout all the land of Egypt.
Job 2:7 So went Satan forth from the presence of the LORD, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown.
Deut 28:27 The LORD will smite thee with the botch of Egypt, and with the emerods, and with the scab, and with the itch, whereof thou canst not be healed.
You have to ask yourself why did God allow this to happen? The Father allows it to teach his children a lesson.
