      [continued from previous message]              [9] And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the       sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to       battle.       [10] And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their       tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.       [11] And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless       pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue       hath his name Apollyon.       [12] One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter.       [13] And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of       the golden altar which is before God,       [14] Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels       which are bound in the great river Euphrates.       [15] And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a       day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.       [16] And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand       thousand: and I heard the number of them.       [17] And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them,       having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of       the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire       and smoke and brimstone.       [18] By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by       the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.       [19] For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails       were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt.       [20] And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet       repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship       devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood:       which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:       [21] Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of       their fornication, nor of their thefts.              Revelation 10              The Angel and the Little Scroll              1 (Mt 17:2; Rev 1:15-16) Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from       heaven, clothed with a cloud and a rainbow on his head. His face was       like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire.       2 (Rev 10:5) He had a little scroll open in his hand. He set his right foot       on the sea and his left foot on the land,       3 (Isa 31:4; Joel 3:16) and cried out with a loud voice, like a lion roaring.       When he cried out, seven thunders sounded their voices.       4 (Da 8:26; 12:4) And when the seven thunders sounded their voices,       I was about to write, but I heard a voice from heaven saying to me,       "Seal up those things which the seven thunders said, and do not write them."       5 (Da 12:7; Ge 14:22; Dt 32:40) The angel whom I saw standing on the sea       and on the earth lifted up his hand to heaven       6 (Rev 4:11) and swore by Him who lives forever and ever,       who created heaven and the things that are in them, and the earth       and the things that are in it, and the sea and the things that are       in it, that there should be no more delay.       7 (Ro 16:25) But in the days when the seventh angel is about to sound,       the mystery of God will be fulfilled, as He has declared to His servants       the prophets.       8 Then the voice which I heard from heaven spoke to me again and said,       "Go, take the little scroll which is open in the hand of the angel       who is standing on the sea and on the earth."       9 (Jer 15:16; Eze 2:8) So I went to the angel and said to him,       "Give me the little scroll." 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.'(Eze 3:3.)"       10 I took the little scroll from the angel's hand and ate it.       It was as sweet as honey in my mouth, but when I had eaten it,       my stomach turned sour.       11 (Eze 37:4) Then he said to me, "You must prophesy again about many peoples       and nations and tongues and kings."              [1] And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a       cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun,       and his feet as pillars of fire:       [2] And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot       upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth,       [3] And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had       cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.       [4] And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to       write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things       which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.       [5] And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted       up his hand to heaven,       [6] And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and       the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are,       and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no       longer:       [7] But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin       to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his       servants the prophets.       [8] And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said,       Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which       standeth upon the sea and upon the earth.       [9] And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book.       And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly       bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.       [10] And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and       it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly       was bitter.       [11] And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and       nations, and tongues, and kings.              Revelation 11              The Two Witnesses              1 (Rev 21:15; Eze 42:15-20) I was given a reed like a measuring rod.       The angel stood, saying, "Rise and measure the temple of God and the altar,       and those who worship in it.       2 (Lk 21:24; Rev 12:6; Da 7:25) But exclude the court which is outside       the temple, and do not measure it, for it has been given to the nations.       They will trample on the Holy City for 42 months.       3 (Ge 37:34; Rev 11:2) And I will give power to my two witnesses,       and they will prophesy for 1260 days, clothed in sackcloth."       4 (Ps 52:8; Jer 11:16) These are the two olive trees       and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth. (Jer 51:45.)       5 (Jer 5:14; 2Ki 1:10-12) If anyone desires to harm them, fire proceeds       out of their mouth and devours their enemies. If anyone desires to harm them,       he must be killed in this way.       6 (1Ki 17:1; Lk 4:25) They have power to shut heaven, that it may not rain       during the days of their prophecy. They have power over waters to turn them       into blood and to strike the earth with every plague as often as they desire.       7 (Rev 13:7; Da 7:25) When they have finished their testimony, the beast       that ascends from the bottomless pit will wage war against them       and overcome them and kill them.       8 (Jer 23:14; Heb 13:12) Their dead bodies will lie in the street       of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt,       where also our Lord was crucified.       9 (Ps 79:2-3; Rev 10:11) Those from every people and tribe and tongue       and nation will see their dead bodies for three and a half days,       and will not allow their dead bodies to be put in graves.       10 (Rev 3:10; 1Ki 18:17) Those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over       them and make merry and send gifts to one another,       because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth.              [continued in next message]              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
