v14: But I have a few things against you, because you have there those who hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit sexual immorality.

Fourth Trumpet: The Heavens Struck
v12: Then the fourth angel sounded: And a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them were darkened. A third of the day did not shine, and likewise the night.

v04: They were commanded not to harm the grass of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree, but only those men who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads.
v05: And they were not given authority to kill them, but to torment them for five months. Their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it strikes a man.
v06: In those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will desire to die, and death will flee from them.
v11: And they had as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, but in Greek he has the name Apollyon.
v14: saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, "Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates."
v15: So the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, were released to kill a third of mankind.
v16: Now the number of the army of the horsemen was two hundred million; I heard the number of them.
v20: But the rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and idols of gold, silver, brass, stone, and wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk.
Revelation 10

v04: These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands standing before the God of the earth.
v05: And if anyone wants to harm them, fire proceeds from their mouth and devours their enemies. And if anyone wants to harm them, he must be killed in this manner.
v06: These have power to shut heaven, so that no rain falls in the days of their prophecy; and they have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to strike the earth with all plagues, as often as they desire.
The Witnesses Killed
v07: When they finish their testimony, the beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit will make war against them, overcome them, and kill them.
v08: And 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.
v09: Then those from the peoples, tribes, tongues, and nations will see their dead bodies three-and-a-half days, and not allow their dead bodies to be put into graves.
v10: And those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them, make merry, and send gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth.
The Witnesses Resurrected
v11: Now after the three-and-a-half days the breath of life from God entered them, and they stood on their feet, and great fear fell on those who saw them.
v12: And they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, "Come up here." And they ascended to heaven in a cloud, and their enemies saw them.

v07: It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation.
The Beast from the Earth

v12: And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence, and causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
v16: He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads,
v17: and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
v18: Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.

First Bowl: Loathsome Sores
v02: So the first went and poured out his bowl upon the earth, and a foul and loathsome sore came upon the men who had the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image.
Second Bowl: The Sea Turns to Blood
v03: Then the second angel poured out his bowl on the sea, and it became blood as of a dead man; and every living creature in the sea died.
Third Bowl: The Waters Turn to Blood
v04: Then the third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and springs of water, and they became blood.

v18: And the woman whom you saw is that great city which reigns over the kings of the earth."
Revelation 18

v08: Therefore her plagues will come in one day--death and mourning and famine. And she will be utterly burned with fire, for strong is the Lord God who judges her.
The World Mourns Babylon's Fall
v09: "The kings of the earth who committed fornication and lived luxuriously with her will weep and lament for her, when they see the smoke of her burning,
v10: standing at a distance for fear of her torment, saying, "Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! For in one hour your judgment has come.'
v17: For in one hour such great riches came to nothing.' Every shipmaster, all who travel by ship, sailors, and as many as trade on the sea, stood at a distance

v03: and he cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal on him, so that he should deceive the nations no more till the thousand years were finished. But after these things he must be released for a little while.
The Saints Reign with Christ 1000 Years
v04: And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.
v05: But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.

Satanic Rebellion Crushed
v07: Now when the thousand years have expired, Satan will be released from his prison

v02: Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
v04: And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away."
v07: He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son.
v08: But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death."
v12: Also she had a great and high wall with twelve gates, and twelve angels at the gates, and names written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:
v13: three gates on the east, three gates on the north, three gates on the south, and three gates on the west.
v14: Now the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. v21: The twelve gates were twelve pearls: each individual gate was of one pearl. And the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass.
The Glory of the New Jerusalem
v22: But I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.
v23: The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is its light.
v24: And the nations of those who are saved shall walk in its light, and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honor into it.
v25: Its gates shall not be shut at all by day (there shall be no night there).
v26: And they shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it.
v27: But there shall by no means enter it anything that defiles, or causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb's Book of Life.

Jesus Testifies to the Churches

v13: I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last."
v15: But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie.
A Warning
v18: For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book;
v19: and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. I Am Coming Quickly
v20: He who testifies to these things says, "Surely I am coming quickly." Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
v21: The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
