The Book of Revelation - With Notes
--Alpha News Daily (The Book of Revelation - With Notes) The book of Revelation is the ONLY book in the Bible that promises a "blessing" to those who teach it ("read it aloud") and to those who read ("hear") it and keep what is written in it.
THE BIBLE is not complete without the Book of Revelation because ...
- It reveals how (and when) the Curse God placed upon Mankind in Genesis 3 (including sickness and death) will finally be lifted
- It reveals the reason WHY all nations will turn against nation Israel ... and WHY all nations will one day gather to destroy Her
- It reveals the details of what will take place during the prophetic 7 year period which every prophet in the Bible warns against
- It reveals what the World will be like AFTER Armageddon
- It reveals how Messiah destroys the Antichrist ... fulfilling the "seed of the Woman" vs "seed of the Serpent" prophecy - Genesis 3
- It reveals and describes in detail the future of all Mankind and Israel
- It reveals and describes Heaven ... where God will grant free access to the "Tree of Life" (eternal life) which He blocked in Genesis 3
Please "listen" to the words of this book as you read it, for God will grant knowledge and blessings to all who sincerely soften and turn their hearts toward Him and His Word ...
Daily Bible Reading - Day 1: Genesis 1-2 ... Matthew 1
--Alpha News Daily (Daily Bible Verses ... 2012)
The Beginning ...
GENESIS 1-2 ...
"In the Beginning GOD Created the Heavens and the Earth"
- God's First Test: You must place your faith in "God's Word" ... OR ... in "Darwin's Evolution"... you can't have both.
- The Great Creator (and "Set Designer"): As with Adam ... and as with the water He turned into fine wine ... and with the new eyes placed in the sunken eye sockets of the blind man ... and with the new hand (with fully grown muscles and ligaments) to replace the withered and shriveled one ... God creates things with whatever appearance of "age" He wants and desires ... this includes rocks.
MANY will foolishly try to equate God's capabilities with Man's capabilities ... remember God CREATED Man "even LOWER than the angels" ... and we ARE "spirits" that have been placed INTO "earthly" bodies ... and while we are in our "earthly" bodies we are stuck on the Earth (angels aren't) ... AND we are told Mankind's "earthly" bodies have now been given a "life span" with a 120 year upper limit and a 70 - 80 year "average" limit ... AFTER which we are told we will be "judged" and then "separated" ... and our spirits placed into new "eternal" bodies destined for either Heaven or Hell. (The assurance of life in HEAVEN ... Jew and Gentile ... it's NOT too late!!!)
MATTHEW 1
- "Son of David" ... "Son of Abraham" - Matthew lists the Genealogy of Jesus (Yeshua) through His "adopted" father Joseph
- The angel sent to Joseph tells Joseph NOT to divorce Mary (his betrothed) and tells him the Child IS the Son prophesied by Isaiah ... the prophecy and verse the angel quotes to Joseph (see below) was written by Isaiah around 700 years BEFORE Messiah was born in Bethlehem ...
"BEHOLD,
the Virgin shall conceive
and bear a Son,
and they shall call His
Name Immanuel”
(which means, God with us)." (Isaiah 7:14)
Daily Bible Reading: Malachi 1-4 ... Revelation 22
--Alpha News Daily (Daily Bible Verses ... Full Daily List and Index)
The End ...
These Chapters from Malachi and Revelation are the LAST chapters of the Old and the New Testaments ("Covenants") ...
Malachi 1-4 (Excerpts and notes) ...
The Lord's Love for Israel
“I have loved you,” says the Lord.
But you say, “How have you loved us?”
The Lord rebukes the Priests ... and tells them His Name will be great among the Gentiles
"For from the rising of the Sun to its setting (from East to the West ... and possibly the 1000-Year "Day of the Lord")
My Name will be great among the GENTILES (Nations),
and in every place incense (prayers) will be offered to My Name, and a pure offering.
For My Name will be great among the Nations (Gentiles), (He repeats this to emphasize the point ...)
says the Lord of hosts."
God warns against Divorce ... He warns the marriage vows were made with HIM as the Witness
God tells them WHY He won't hear their prayers ...
"BECAUSE the Lord was witness between you and the wife of your youth, (God hears all the "I Do's")
to whom you have been faithless,
though she is your companion and your wife by covenant. (In God's eyes the marriage vows were a "covenant")
Did He not make them One, (See Genesis 2 ...)
with a portion of the Spirit in their union?
Why does God "hate" divorce?
Because God was seeking Godly offspring from the Union ...
"And what was the one God seeking?
Godly offspring.
So guard yourselves in your spirit,
and let none of you be faithless to the wife of your youth.
For the man who does not love his wife but divorces her, says the Lord, the God of Israel,
covers his garment with violence, says the Lord of hosts." (The Blood of the Lamb can wash away all sins ...)
Prophecies of Messiah ...
The Messenger(s) of the Lord
“Behold, I send My messenger,
and he will prepare The Way before Me." (We are told John the Baptist fulfilled this ...)
"And the Lord whom you seek (Messiah ... Jesus Christ in English ... Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew)
will suddenly come to His Temple; (Fulfilled by Jesus (Yeshua) ... (PROPHECIES of MESSIAH From the ancient Jewish Scriptures)
and the Messenger of the Covenant (The "New Covenant"... see Jeremiah 31:31... fulfilled in Matthew 26:28-32)
in whom you delight,
BEHOLD, He is coming, says the Lord of hosts.
"But who can endure the DAY of His coming, (Prophecies: The coming "APOCALYPSE" and Armageddon ...)
and who can stand when He appears? (Prophecies: MESSIAH'S RETURN)
For He is like a refiner's fire and like fullers' soap.
God warns them against their attitudes toward OFFERINGS ...
and then asks them to TEST Him concerning their offerings
"Will man ROB God?
Yet you are robbing Me.
But you say, ‘How have we robbed you?’
In your tithes and contributions.
Thereby put Me to the TEST, says the Lord of hosts, (Lovingly and faithfully thank God through your offerings ...)
if I will not open the windows of Heaven for you
and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need.
I will rebuke the devourer for you ...
God warns He HEARS their hard words against Him ... and their complaints about serving Him
GOD ALSO REVEALS SPECIAL BLESSINGS
for all who speak WELL of Him during conversations ...
He not only hears ... but He also has it written down in a "Book of Remembrance"
"Then those who feared the Lord spoke with one another.
The Lord paid attention and heard them,
and a Book of Remembrance was written before Him
of those who feared the Lord and esteemed His Name.
“They shall be Mine, says the Lord of hosts,
in the Day when I make up my treasured possession,
and I will spare them as a man spares his son who serves him.
Then once more you shall see the distinction between the righteous and the wicked,
between one who serves God
and one who does not serve Him.
Malachi prophecies of The Great Day of the Lord ... (The coming "Apocalypse"... The "Great Tribulation.")
“For BEHOLD,
the Day is coming, burning like an oven,
when all the arrogant and all evildoers will be stubble.
The Day that is coming shall set them ablaze, says the Lord of hosts,
so that it will leave them neither root nor branch.
God promises blessings for those who have endured in their faith and their love for Messiah ...
"BUT,
for you who fear My Name,
the Sun of Righteousness shall rise with healing in its wings. (God's Promise ...)
God promises to send Elijah the Prophet ...
and then ends the Old Testament (Tanakh) with warnings of a "Curse"
“Behold,
I will send you Elijah the prophet (Many believe he will be one of the Two Witnesses sent in Revelation 11)
before the great and awesome Day of the Lord comes.
And he will turn the hearts of fathers to their children
and the hearts of children to their fathers,
lest I come and strike the Earth with a CURSE.” (Prophecies: The coming "APOCALYPSE" and Armageddon ...)
REVELATION 22 (with notes) ...
THE CURSE of Genesis 3 IS LIFTED ... and the fruit of the "Tree of Life" will be freely offered
"Then he (the angel) showed me the River of the Water of Life, bright as crystal,
flowing from the Throne of God and of the Lamb
through the middle of the street of the City;
ALSO,
in the middle of its street, and on either side of the river,
the TREE OF LIFE with its twelve kinds of fruit, (It is no longer guarded by the mighty Cherubim ... see Genesis 3:24)
yielding its fruit each month.
The leaves of the Tree were for the healing of the nations.
No longer will there be anything accursed,
but the Throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it,
and His servants will worship Him.
They will see His face,
and His Name will be on their foreheads.
And night will be no more.
They will need no light of lamp or sun,
for the Lord God will be their light,
and they will reign forever and ever.
And he said to me,
“These words are trustworthy and true.
And the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets,
has sent His angel to show His servants
what must soon take place.”
Messiah ... Jesus Christ in English ... Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew ... is returning soon
“And BEHOLD,
I am coming soon.
Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.”
I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things.
And when I heard and saw them,
I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed them to me,
but he (the angel) said to me,
“You must NOT do that! (John again tried to worship the angel ... the Bible warns NEVER worship angels!)
I am a fellow servant with you
and your brothers the prophets,
and with those who keep the words of this book.
Worship GOD.”
AND he said to me,
“Do NOT seal up the words of the prophecy of this book,
for the time is near. (The prophet Daniel was told to "seal" his book "UNTIL the time of the End" ... see Daniel 12)
Let the evildoer still do evil,
and the filthy still be filthy,
and the righteous still do right,
and the holy still be holy.”
“BEHOLD,
I am coming soon,
bringing My recompense with Me,
to repay everyone for what he has done.
I am the Alpha and the Omega,
the first and the last, the beginning and the end.”
Blessed are those who wash their robes, (With the "blood of the Lamb" which washes away ALL of our sins ...)
so that they may have the right to the Tree of Life
and that they may enter the City by the gates.
Outside are the dogs and sorcerers
and the sexually immoral
and murderers
and idolaters,
and everyone who loves and practices a lie. (The assurance of life in HEAVEN ... Jew and Gentile ... it's NOT too late!!!)
“I, Jesus (Yeshua), have sent My angel to testify to you
about these things for the churches.
I am the root and the descendant of David,
(MESSIAH!!! The GENEALOGY of Jesus Christ ... Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew)the Bright Morning Star.”
The Spirit and the Bride say, “Come.”
And let the one who hears say, “Come.”
And let the one who is thirsty come;
let the one who desires take the Water of Life without price.
A terrible warning to ALL who will add or take away from God's completed Word ...
I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book:
If anyone ADDS to them,
God will add to him the plagues described in this book,
and if anyone TAKES AWAY from the words of the book of this prophecy,
God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city,
which are described in this book.
He who testifies to these things says,
“Surely,
I AM coming soon.” ("In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye" ... when "the fullness of the Gentiles has come in")
Amen.
Come, Lord Jesus!!! (Prophecies: The coming "RAPTURE"... Jew and Gentile ... Please don't be "left behind")
The Grace of the Lord Jesus (Yeshua) be with all. (With ALL who will receive it in love, faith, trust, and obedience)
AMEN!!!" (The Bible ... God's Message to Mankind ... ends with this Blessing ... and with this "Amen.")

The Lord's Offer ...
"Come unto Me,
all you who labor
and are heavy laden,
and I will give you rest.
Take My yoke upon you
and learn of Me . . .
for I am meek and lowly in heart,
and you shall find rest
unto your souls.
For My yoke is easy
and My burden is light."
(Matthew 11:28-30) (Finding Hope and Comfort in Times of Trouble ...) (God's Promise ...)
Tebow Wins With 3:16 Yards ... (With 31.6 Yards Per Completion)
--WND
3:16 ... God's Promise of a Great Blessing ... or God's Promise of a Great Curse
"For God so loved the world
that He GAVE His only begotten Son, (see Psalm 2 ...)
that whoever BELIEVES (trusts) in Him (to trust in Jesus alone to save us from all our sins and from Hell)
should NOT perish (in Hell)
but have everlasting life (in Heaven).
For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world,
but that the world through Him might be saved (into Heaven).
He who believes in Him is NOT condemned (to Hell);
but he who does NOT believe (in Jesus Christ)
IS condemned (to Hell) ALREADY" (There is no second chance for any who reject what God did for us on the Cross.)
(John 3:16) (Jesus greatly LOVED us to save us from Hell ... all God asks is that we love Him for all He has done for us.)
Bill Maher Blasphemes Jesus Christ And Derides Christian NFL Quarterback Tebow ...
--WND/Fox News (Bible Prophecies: Description of the 'Generation of Armageddon') (Prophecies: The coming ANTICHRIST)
"BEHOLD!
The Lord comes with ten thousands (millions) of His saints, ("Saints" are ALL who place their faith in Christ)
to execute judgment on ALL,
to convict all who are ungodly among them
of all their ungodly deeds
which they have committed in an ungodly way,
and of ALL the harsh things
which ungodly sinners
have spoken against HIM (Jesus Christ ... Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew).’"
(Jude 1:14-15)
"So it will be at the end of the Age.
The angels will come forth,
separate the wicked from among the just,
and CAST them into the furnace of fire.
There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth."
(Matthew 13:49-50)
"Thus says the LORD of Armies (Hosts):
BEHOLD!
Disaster shall go forth from nation to nation ...
And at that Day the slain of the LORD
shall be from one end of the Earth
even to the other end of the Earth . . ." (Nobody will escape God's wrath after the coming "Rapture")

"The Day of God's Wrath") In the book of 1 John we are told the sign we are truly "born again" and have been "set apart" as the "children of God" through the Blood of the Lamb is reflected by our "love for the brethren" all around the world.
How many of you have ever taken any time to pray for any of those boys, girls, men, and women around the world who are being killed, imprisoned, beheaded, mutilated, burned alive, raped, sold into slavery, and imprisoned BECAUSE they have placed their faith and love in the Messiah of Israel (Jesus Christ in English ... Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew) the Son of God ... and call Him "Lord"? (In 1 John 1-6 we are also warned all those who deny Jesus is the promised Son of God (who stepped forth "from of old, from everlasting"... Micah 5:2) to save sinners are NOT "saved" into Heaven and are NOT considered children of God.) (PROPHECIES of MESSIAH From the ancient Jewish Scriptures)
How many of your "reverends," ministers, priests, or pastors have even once called for prayer for our "brethren" around the world ... and how many "reverends," ministers, and priests, spend more time convincing people if "all the religions of the world" will simply join together ("coexist") that mankind can bring "PEACE" to the world ... when the Bible clearly warns there will be NO PEACE until Messiah (Jesus Christ) returns to Rule over the nations? (Prophecies: The coming ANTICHRIST) (Prophecies: MESSIAH'S RETURN)
How many of your "reverends," ministers, priests, or pastors deny God's Word by convincing people that ISRAEL is somehow the problem ... while embracing the enemies of God such as Islam, Hinduism, Mormonism, and Atheism (Socialist-Communists) or any religion that denies the Word of God. (Prophecies: Churches and leaders will "depart from the faith" ... "will no longer endure sound doctrine")

It would be helpful if our "Commanders-In-Chief" Bush and Obama explained why our military's mission was quietly changed and "victory" over our enemies was no longer an option as they allowed our (pro-Russia and pro-Iran) State Department to quickly wrest control over the wars ... and they should consider apologizing to our troops, our citizens, and to all the Christians and Jews who were living in Iraq and Afghanistan for twisting and turning this war which was meant for "good" into one which is now destined for "evil."

AND ... since "the Nations" (Gentiles) have now been given God's Word with the warning to "Repent" (turn away from all sinful activities) and to place all their "faith and trust" in the Messiah of Israel to save them from all their sins and from Hell ... God will hold "the World" responsible as well. Jesus warns a small remnant of Israel will survive the coming "Day of God's Wrath" (and will receive all the promises God made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob) while "the World" will be utterly devastated ... the time draws near.

--Jerusalem Post (Prophecies: The US will be "NEUTRALIZED" ... THEN ... RUSSIA, IRAN, and ALLIES will invade Israel) One might question WHY the US has waited until now ... our advantage would have been much greater while we had our forces and allies at fighting strength in Iraq and Afghanistan ... but our leaders have purposefully waited until our forces, our weapons inventories, our economy, and our national morale has been depleted to their weakest points in many years.
"Neutralized" means the US will be UNWILLING or UNABLE to defend Israel after this coming war starts. "Neutralized" can mean Militarily, Politically, Economically, or any combination of the three. The Bible warns the US will NOT defend Israel when this coming war takes place. According to the Bible, Israel must stand alone ... with God. When Russia, Iran, Turkey, and their 'coalition' of nations attack and invade Israel, the U.S. will be unwilling or unable (or unwilling and unable) to help defend Her ... and with Russia and Iran's (and China's) "Dream Team" of Obama-Clinton-Panetta in office with final authority over our military, our enemies may gain many major "intelligence" and "military" victories before this new year is over.

Jesus Christ (Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew) warns ...
"For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world,
and is himself (his soul) destroyed or lost?
For whoever is ASHAMED of Me (Jesus Christ) and My words,
of him the Son of Man will be ashamed (on the Day of Judgment) . . ."
(Luke 9:25-26)
"Also I say to you, whoever confesses Me (Jesus Christ) before men,
him the Son of Man also will confess before the angels of God.
But he who DENIES Me before men
will be denied before the angels of God."

--Debkafile (Prophecies ... WARS and rumors of war) (Prophecies ... ISRAEL and JERUSALEM) The real players (Russia and Iran) have used the PA vs. Hamas rivalry as a "good cop"/"bad cop" ruse in order to weaken and destroy Israel ... the hierarchies of both Hamas and Fatah ultimately lead to Russia.
Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen is his 'war name') who heads the "Palestinian Authority" (formerly called the PLO) was considered second to Yasser Arafat, was educated at Damascus University in Syria and received his Ph.D. from Moscow's Oriental College, speaks fluent Russian, is close to Putin, and is reported to have been responsible for financing the attack against the Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics ... Yasser Arafat was an Egyptian recruited and trained by the KGB ... and Hamas is backed and trained by Iran who is backed and trained by Russia. Deception, misdirection, and 'false-flag' combatants are Russia's psychological strengths and weapons ... the serpent is coiling.
"...a terrorist doing work for Spetsnaz (Russian special forces) does not, in the great majority of cases, suspect he is being used. He is utterly convinced that he is acting independently, of his own free will and by his own choice.” - Viktor Suvorov, Spetsnaz, 1987 ...

And To End This Week's News Update ...
Daily Bible Reading: Zechariah 13-14 ... Revelation 21
--Alpha News Daily (Daily Bible Verses ... Full Daily List and Index)
Zechariah 13-14 (excerpts and notes) ...
Zechariah continues with MAJOR Prophecies of MESSIAH (written around 500 years before the Cross)
Another Prophecy of Messiah's FIRST coming ... (PROPHECIES of MESSIAH ... From the ancient Jewish Scriptures)
“Awake, O sword, against MY Shepherd,
AGAINST the Man who stands NEXT to Me (God),”
declares the Lord of hosts.
STRIKE the Shepherd, (PROPHECIES of MESSIAH ... From the ancient Jewish Scriptures)
and the sheep will be scattered;" (See Matthew 26:31 ... Jesus (Yeshua) quoted this passage to prepare His Disciples)
Then (sometime AFTER they "strike the Shepherd")
God will draw ALL nations against Israel and Jerusalem ...
Then, (Sometime after
"the Shepherd" was struck (32 AD) ... and after Israel was
re-gathered in the Land (1948)
I (God) will turn My Hand against
the little ones. (The Children of
Israel ...)
In the whole Land (Israel), declares the
Lord,
(Prophecies: The
coming "APOCALYPSE" and Armageddon ...)
Two-thirds of the children of Israel will be "cut-off" during "The Time of Jacob's (Israel's) Trouble" (Jeremiah 30:7) ...
TWO-THIRDS shall be cut off and perish,
and ONE-THIRD shall be left alive.
And I will put this third into the fire,
and refine them as one refines silver,
and test them as gold is tested.
They will call upon My Name,
and I will answer them.
I will say, ‘They are My people’;
(The remnant of Israel ...)
and they will say, ‘The Lord
is my God.’”
The Coming "Day of the Lord"
(The "Apocalypse" and Armageddon) ...
"BEHOLD,
a Day is coming for the Lord,
when the spoil taken from you will be divided in your midst. (Israel ...)
For I (God) will gather ALL the nations against Jerusalem to battle, (Prophecies ... ISRAEL and JERUSALEM)
and the city (Jerusalem) shall be taken
and the houses plundered
and the women raped.
Half of the city shall go out into exile,
but the rest of the people shall not be cut off from the city. (ALL nations ... this is NOT just Rome in 70 AD ...)
THEN the Lord will go out and fight against those nations
as when He fights on a day of battle.
A Prophecy of Messiah's RETURN
On that Day
HIS (Messiah's) feet shall stand on the Mount of Olives
that lies before Jerusalem on the east, (The Mount of Olives is where Jesus ascended into Heaven ... see Acts 1)
and the Mount of Olives shall be split in two
from east to west by a very wide valley,
so that one half of the Mount shall move northward,
and the other half southward. (Prophecies: MESSIAH'S RETURN)
And you shall flee to the valley of My mountains, (See Revelation 12)
for the valley of the mountains shall reach to Azal.
And you (the remnant of Israel) shall flee
as you fled from the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah.
AFTER Armageddon God will restore Israel ... Israel (with her King and Messiah) will then rule over ALL nations
THEN (after the children of Israel flee)
the Lord my God will come,
and ALL the Holy Ones with Him. (See Revelation 19)
On that Day there shall be no light, cold, or frost. (See Revelation 21)
And there shall be a unique day, which is known to the Lord,
neither day nor night,
but at evening time there shall be light." (See Revelation 21)
THIS IS THE PLAGUE with which GOD will strike
ALL those who will come to fight against JERUSALEM ...
(During the Battle of Armageddon ...)
And THIS shall be the plague
with which the LORD will strike
all the people who fought against Jerusalem: (Armageddon)
Their flesh shall dissolve while they stand on their feet,
Their eyes shall dissolve in their sockets,
And their tongues shall dissolve in their mouths." (Steven Spielberg used this imagery in his "Indiana Jones" films)
REVELATION 21 (with notes) ...
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, (See Isaiah 65:17 ... and Isaiah 66:22)
and the Sea was no more.
And I saw the Holy City, new Jerusalem,
coming down OUT of Heaven from God,
prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying,
“Behold,
the dwelling place of God is with Man.
He will dwell with them,
and they will be His people,
and God Himself will be with them as their God.
He will wipe away every tear from their eyes,
and Death shall be no more, (See Isaiah 25:8)
neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, (Amen!)
for the former things have passed away.”
And He who was seated on the Throne said,
“Behold, I am making ALL things new.”
Also He said,
“Write this down,
for these words are trustworthy and true.”
And He said to me,
“It is done!
I am the Alpha and the Omega,
the Beginning and the End. (A title of Jesus Christ ... Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew ... See Revelation 1)
To the thirsty
I will give from the spring of the Water of Life without payment. (See John 4)
The one who conquers will have this heritage,
and I will be his God
and he will be My Son. (God's Promise ...)
But as for the cowardly, (Afraid of what other people might think if they place their faith and love in Jesus Christ)
the faithless, (Who have not placed all their faith and trust in the Death and Resurrection of Messiah to save them)
the abominable, (The Bible mentions many abominations including homosexuality and abortion)
as for murderers, (Jesus warns even those who are "angry with his brother without a cause"... see Matthew 5)
the sexually immoral, (Any sex outside of marriage ... also pornography ... the Bible warns of "the lust of the eyes")
sorcerers, ("pharmakeus"... includes drugs for pleasure ... and also things such as astrology, tarot, etc.)
idolaters, (An "idol" is anything we willingly place above our love for God ... money, sports, celebrities, tv, etc.)
and all liars,
their portion will be in the Lake that burns with fire and sulfur, (HELL!!)
which is the SECOND Death.” (The assurance of life in HEAVEN ... it's NOT too late!!!) (We're ALL sinners who need a Savior)
The New Jerusalem
Then (AFTER the Earth has been "cleansed" and restored ... maybe even better than before the "curse" of Genesis 3)
came one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues
and spoke to me, saying,
“Come, I will show you the Bride, the wife of the Lamb.” (The Cross is a love story ... written in His blood)
And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great, high mountain,
and showed me the Holy City Jerusalem (Heaven!)
coming down OUT of Heaven from God, (Awesome!!!)
having the glory of God,
its radiance like a most rare jewel,
like a jasper, clear as crystal.
It had a great, high wall, with twelve gates,
and at the gates twelve angels,
and on the gates
the names of the twelve Tribes
of the sons of Israel were inscribed -- (God will fulfill all of His promises to the children of Israel ...)
on the East three gates,
on the North three gates,
on the South three gates,
and on the West three gates.
And the wall of the city had twelve foundations,
and on them
were the twelve names of the twelve Apostles of the Lamb.
And the one who spoke with me had a measuring rod of gold
to measure the city and its gates and walls.
The City lies foursquare, its length the same as its width.
And he measured the City with his rod, 12,000 stadia. (About 1380 miles ... 1/2 the width of US ... 2/3 dia. of the Moon)
Its length and width and height are equal.
He also measured its wall,
144 cubits by human measurement,
which is also an angel's measurement. (Consider that for a moment ...)
The wall was built of jasper,
while the City was pure gold, clear as glass.
The foundations of the wall of the City were adorned with every kind of jewel.
The first was jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate,
the fourth emerald, the fifth onyx, the sixth carnelian,
the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz,
the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, the twelfth amethyst.
And the twelve gates were twelve pearls,
each of the gates made of a single pearl,
and the street of the city was pure gold, transparent as glass.
And I saw no Temple in the City,
for its Temple is the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb.
And the City has no need of Sun or Moon to shine on it,
for the glory of God gives it light,
and its lamp is the Lamb.
By its light will the nations walk,
and the kings of the Earth will bring their glory into it,
and its gates will never be shut by day --
and there will be no night there.
They will bring into it the glory and the honor of the nations.
But nothing unclean will ever enter it,
nor anyone who does what is detestable or false,
but ONLY those who are written in the Lamb's Book of Life." (See Revelation 20 ... (God's Promise ...)
Daily Bible Reading: Zechariah 7-9 ... Revelation 19
--Alpha News Daily (Daily Bible Verses ... Full Daily List and Index)
Zechariah 7-9 (excerpts and notes) ...
Zechariah's Warnings and Prophecies of Messiah (written over 500 years before the Cross) ...
- "They made their hearts diamond-hard lest they should hear the Law and the words that the Lord of hosts ...
The Coming Messiah ... King of Zion ... righteous and having salvation ... Humble ... Riding A Donkey
"Rejoice
greatly, O daughter of Zion!
Shout aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem!
BEHOLD,
your King is coming to you;
righteous and having salvation is He,
humble and mounted on a donkey,
on a colt, the foal of a donkey." (Fulfilled!!
..."Palm Sunday"...
(PROPHECIES
of MESSIAH ... From the ancient Jewish Scriptures)
The New Covenant ... The Covenant Of Messiah's Blood
"As for you also,
BECAUSE of the Blood of My Covenant with you,
(Fulfilled!!! ... see Jeremiah 31:31... and Matthew 26:28-32)
I will set your prisoners free from the waterless pit (Sheol
... Hell).) (This is exactly what Messiah did
after the Cross)
Note: Many people today do not know whether or not they (or their loved ones) will go to Heaven. Many have not been adequately (or honestly) taught what the Bible actually says and teaches ...
For the ASSURANCE of Life in Heaven (and of having ALL of your sin and guilt completely removed) . . . A.C.T. NOW!!!
- Acknowledge you are a sinner ... and have sinned against God's Law
- Confess your sins to God
- Trust (believe) completely in Jesus Christ (Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew) ...
- He (lovingly and willingly) died for all of your sins on the Cross ... and His innocent blood washes away ALL our sins
- He was buried ...
- He was raised (Resurrected) from the dead the third day ... and now waits to see if you are "with" Him or "against" Him
- Turn back to God ... and turn away from sinful activities ("repent") ... He will welcome you with tears of joy.
When you believe and trust in (and love) Jesus Christ as your "Savior" (who lovingly saves you from your sins and from Hell) ... and then turn away from your sinful ways and turn back to God ("repent"), you can have the complete peace and assurance in your heart that when you die, you will enter into His Kingdom of Heaven ... forever and ever … it’s God’s Promise!!!
The ONLY thing God asks a NON-believer to do is to "believe"... Jesus (God) did ALL the work ... life in Heaven is offered as a GIFT!!!
Grace and Shalom
