You cannot hide from God.
He sees everything.
Think for a moment. What have you done?
Are you a real Christian?
Is He part of your life - or - IS He your life?
Hi guys, Welcome back to the Book of Revelation explained.
This is Part Three. In the previous two parts
we covered from Chapter 1 up until Chapter 16. Today, we're going to start with Chapter 17.
It's going to be very interesting and we're going to continue all the way up to Judgment Day.
It's going to be interesting. I don't want to waste more time.
I just want to get into it. So let's start with Chapter 17 Verse 1.
[Revelation 17:1-3]
Now as we continue to read we see that these seven heads are seven mountains that this woman,
the prostitute, is sitting on, also known as the seven kings.
And then when we continue a little bit further, we see that these horns ...
[Revelation 17:12-14]
Now, we read something interesting between the beast and the prostitute.
[Revelation 17:15-18]
So the beast with ten horns - the kings - they will hate the prostitute.
It's interesting that God will work this within them.
Now this prostitute - who is it? Well, the Bible doesn't
really tell us, specifically. Actually, it tells us it is a mystery.
[Revelation 5:5-6]
So what we do know is that she is our enemy. This is clear.
Drunk with our blood, meaning she will persecute us.
Now, who is this woman? A lot of people say that they think
that this is the Catholic Church. Why?
Well, one of the reasons is because back in the day,
Rome was known to be the city on seven hills, which it might be described here.
And we know that this is the seat of power of the Catholic Church.
[Revelation 17:4]
Now, these colors do represent the Catholic Church.
So is this woman - this prostitute - the Catholic Church?
Well, we don't know. Because look at Verse 9 and 10 now.
[Revelation 17:9-10]
So these mountains that the Bible is talking about.
It is not physical mountains, I believe. I believe it is referring to big
leaders - kings of the world. Political leaders.
So this prostitute has immense power. And these kings will follow the
direction of the prostitute. But then, God will work it
within the kings to turn on her. Attack her and destroy her.
[Revelation 17:16-17]
Now I personally believe that this whore - or prostitute of Babylon - is
an evil world system controlling world leaders.
A lot of people think that this is the Illuminati. I'll talk more about this in another video,
because this is a whole new other video. But I believe that false churches
and false religions deceived by demons are part of this system.
This whore of Babylon. And she will be destroyed.
[Revelation 18:1-4]
And then as we continue to read this chapter we see how these wicked people weep about the
loss of this prostitute. It's crazy actually.
It's actually so sad. And then as we go into
the next chapter, we start to see how the people - everyone in Heaven - are rejoicing.
And then Jesus comes and we start this supper. The marriage feast.
[Revelation 19:1-8]
Then when everything is ready, Jesus Christ comes to bring judgment and to rule with a rod of iron.
[Revelation 19:11-16]
You see, many churches don't even want to preach about this anymore.
They only want to preach "grace grace grace grace" all the time.
And yes, it is a good message. Grace.
Because we live now in a time of grace.
But there is a time when Jesus Christ will come to rule with a rod of iron.
Then the time of grace will be done. Finished.
Right now, He's giving you - me - everyone else - a chance to accept Him as Lord and Savior.
To accept that He died for us on the cross. But, when our time is up,
our time will be up. No more second chances.
Then the judgment will be here. Those who did not want to accept
Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior will then need to take the punishment on themselves.
[Revelation 19:17-21]
Now the Millennium reign of God will start. He will throw the devil in the pit.
And He will rule on Earth for a thousand years.
[Revelation 20:4-5]
So in this first resurrection, only some of the believers will receive their eternal bodies.
And they will not die again. The second death has no power over them.
The second death is Hell. The second death - that's for
all the wicked with Satan and his demons - that will go there for all eternity.
So, what's gonna happen when this thousand years ends?
Well, let's read verse 7.
[Revelation 20:7-9]
You know, you would think that the devil would learn his lesson.
I mean, he lost the first time against God. Rebelling against Him because he wanted to
be God, because of his pride. He was cast down to the earth.
Now he lost again, when Jesus Christ died on the cross and when He rose again - and he lost again.
In the Millenium kingdom. Thrown into the pit for a thousand years.
And then again, he does the same thing over and over.
He tries to gather a lot of people to make war against God.
And then, there's actually no real war because fire just rains down from Heaven.
[Revelation 20:10]
There are many people who say that Hell is not for eternity.
They must be reading some strange Bible. That's not the Bible.
Because the Bible says it is for all eternity. Now, when this happens, when the devil is
thrown into the lake of fire for all eternity, Judgment Day starts.
[Revelation 20:11-12]
Think for a moment. What have you done?
You cannot hide from God. He sees everything.
[Revelation 20:13-15]
Wow!
Do you know how many people will be here this day, who think that they will go into Heaven?
And they will be denied. Because they have never been real Christians.
Many will think that they have access. They know God.
I mean, they've been going to church most of their life.
They've said a prayer here and there. They grew up in a Christian family.
But God does not know them and they do not really know Him.
It's all just tradition. They have never been spiritually reborn.
They have never truly accepted Him as Lord and Savior.
Do you know what God will do to lukewarm Christians?
He will spit them out of His mouth.
[Matthew 7:22-23]
Are you a real Christian? Ask yourself.
And be brutally honest. Do you truly know Jesus Christ?
Do you have a relationship with Him? Or do you just use him like a necklace
and you just talk about Him when you feel like it? Is He part of your life - or - IS He your life?
Don't play with this. It is dumb.
It is a fool who plays with this. Make sure
that you are saved while you still have time. While you have air in your lungs.
I'm being so serious because I truly care about you.
I love you and I want you to go to Heaven.
In the next part - Part Four - we're gonna finish the Book of Revelation.
And we're going to talk about the new Heaven and the new Earth.
I'll see you there. Always remember - God loves you.
And I love you too. Bye.
