Revelation 19:1 "And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God: 2 For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand. 3 And again they said, Alleluia. And her smoke rose up for ever and ever. 4 And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia. 5 And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great. 6 And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth."
Four Hallelujahs
19:1 - Alleluia is spelled Hallelujah in America and means "Praise ye Jehovah". This may also indicate that the language in heaven will be Hebrew.
19:2 - Cross references: Deut. 28:63; 32:35,41-43; Jeremiah 51:43
19:3 - Comparing the smoke rising up forever here and Revelation 14:11 shows that Rome is connected with Satan and the Antichrist.
19:4 - This verse shows that the scene is in the third heaven. Cross reference: Revelation 4:1-5
19:5 - The phrase "our God" is a Jewish designation (Acts 2:39). All ye his servants match Revelation 6:11, 11:18.
19:6 - Omnipotent means all powerful or complete power. God is also omniscient(all knowing) and omnipresent(everywhere). At this point God takes over the government.
Revelation 19:7 "Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. 8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. 9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God. 10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy."
The Marriage Supper of the Lamb
19:7 - The Marriage of the Lamb takes place after the Judgment Seat of Christ, which is indicated because the Bride has made herself reading meaning she might of had some spots or wrinkles before the Judgment Seat of Christ (Ephesians 5:26-27). The Marriage takes place on the earth during the Second Advent. The Bride is the Church Age Saints. Cross references: Luke 22:16, Matthew 22:2
19:8 - The fine linen shows the Bride's own righteous, which is earned after salvation for the Church Age Saint. This is why Christians should live for the Lord after salvation (Revelation 3:17-18, 1 John 2:28). Cross references: Zechariah 3:4-5, Revelation 6:11, Psalms 45:13
19:9 - Notice that the scriptures are the true sayings of God and not opinions, symbolic or figurative (Revelation 21:5, 22:6, Proverbs 8:8-9, 14:6, Luke 10:21, Psalms 62:9, Isaiah 28:9-13, 29:10-14).
19:10 - This shows that we are to only worship God, not saints, angels or idols. The testimony of Jesus is the ability to tell the future like a Christian knows where he is going when he dies. Mohammed was not a true prophet because he rejected Jesus Christ.
Second Advent
Revelation 19:11" And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. 12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. 13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. 14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. 15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS."
19:11 - This is the second time heaven opens since Revelation 4:1-3. This also indicates the end of the Tribulation. The white horse is a supernatural horse. Animals do not go to heaven, nor hell (Eccl. 3:21). Examples of supernatural horses are found in 2 Kings 2:11-12 and 2 Kings 6:17. The rider is no doubt, Jesus Christ. Cross reference: Habakkuk 3:15
19:12 - The rider is Jesus Christ, who has many crowns, unlike the rider in Revelation 6.
19:13 - The blood on His vesture is from the blood of his enemies (Revelation 14:20, Isaiah 63:1-5, Psalms 68:23). Cross references: Psalms 138:2, John 1:14
19:14 - The army is the Church (Revelation 19:8, Song of Solomon 6:10). Cross references: Zechariah 14:3, Joel 2:11
19:15 - The sword is found in Isaiah 34:5 and is the word of God. In the Second Advent, Jesus Christ will be a Military Dictator ruling with a rod of iron (Revelation 2:27, Psalms 2:9). The winepress is found in Revelation 14:20. Cross reference: Isaiah 63:1-6
19:16 - Unlike Nebuchadnezzar, Jesus is THE King of Kings, instead of just "a" king of kings (Ezekiel 26:7). The name is written on his vesture and on the bottom part of his vesture.
Revelation 19:17 "And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God; 18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great. 19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. 20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. 21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh."
Destruction of all earthly government
19:17-18 - The birds eat the remains of the enemies of Jesus Christ(Luke 17:37, Matthew 24:28). Keep in mind that unclean birds represent devils (Matthew 13, Revelation 18). Something similar happens in Ezekiel 39:1-22. Popular expression: "Strictly for the birds" Cross references for verse 18: Job 39:19, Proverbs 30:17
19:19 - Cross references: Revelation 17:13-14, 16:12-16, 9:15-17, Judges 5:19-22, 2 Thess. 1:7-9
19:20 - The Beast and False Prophet almost always appear together (Revelation 20:10). The False Prophet is the second beast in Revelation 13:11. The battle will be over in a short period of time. The Lake of Fire that burns forever is the Second Death (Revelation 20:14-15). There is no annihilation in the Lake of Fire (Matthew 10:28).
19:21 - All Jesus has to do is speak and his enemies are destroyed (Proverbs 12:18, Hebrews 4:12, Zechariah 14:3,12). This will be one of the bloodiest wars ever to take place.

Chapter 18
Revelation 18:1 "And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. 2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. 3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. 4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. 5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. 6 Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double."
Final Destruction of Babylon
18:1-2 - Devils are connected with unclean birds(Matthew 13:31-32). The Holy Spirit is like a clean bird, dove (Matthew 3).
18:3-4 - "My people" is the Jews(Jeremiah 51:5-7) during the Tribulation being said to come out of Rome. The spiritual application could be that the Christian needs to come out of the Roman Catholic Church.
18:5-6 - God's vengeance is coming upon the Catholic church. Compare this verse with Revelation 17:4.
Revelation 18:7 "How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. 8 Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her. 9 And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, 10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come. 11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more: 12 The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble, 13 And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men. 14 And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all. 15 The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing, 16 And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls! 17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off, 18 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city! 19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate."
Entrepreneurs Lament
18:7-14 - The fruits that Rome lusts after begins with gold (Revelation 18:12) and ends with the souls of men (Revelation 18:12). The Roman Catholic church makes a lot of money today through goods and holidays, but they never soul win.
18:15-19 - Rome's allies will lament. Rome's allies are Spain, Mexico, Italy, NATO, United Nations, etc. They are upset because the commercial system is shot.
Revelation 18:20 "Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her. 21 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all. 22 And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee; 23 And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived. 24 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth."
Heaven rejoices over Babylon's destruction
18:20-24 - A cross reference for verse 20 is Revelation 19:1-6. Compare the word craft in verse 22 with the Antichrist and craft in Daniel 8:25 and Acts 19:24-25. Cross references: Daniel 11:43, Jeremiah 50:28
Final Destruction of Babylon
18:1-2 - Devils are connected with unclean birds(Matthew 13:31-32). The Holy Spirit is like a clean bird, dove (Matthew 3).
18:3-4 - "My people" is the Jews(Jeremiah 51:5-7) during the Tribulation being said to come out of Rome. The spiritual application could be that the Christian needs to come out of the Roman Catholic Church.
18:5-6 - God's vengeance is coming upon the Catholic church. Compare this verse with Revelation 17:4.
Revelation 18:7 "How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. 8 Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her. 9 And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, 10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come. 11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more: 12 The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble, 13 And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men. 14 And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all. 15 The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing, 16 And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls! 17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off, 18 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city! 19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate."
Entrepreneurs Lament
18:7-14 - The fruits that Rome lusts after begins with gold (Revelation 18:12) and ends with the souls of men (Revelation 18:12). The Roman Catholic church makes a lot of money today through goods and holidays, but they never soul win.
18:15-19 - Rome's allies will lament. Rome's allies are Spain, Mexico, Italy, NATO, United Nations, etc. They are upset because the commercial system is shot.
Revelation 18:20 "Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her. 21 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all. 22 And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee; 23 And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived. 24 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth."
Heaven rejoices over Babylon's destruction
18:20-24 - A cross reference for verse 20 is Revelation 19:1-6. Compare the word craft in verse 22 with the Antichrist and craft in Daniel 8:25 and Acts 19:24-25. Cross references: Daniel 11:43, Jeremiah 50:28

Chapter 17
Revelation 17:1 "And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: 2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. 3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. 4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: 5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. 6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. 7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns. 8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. 9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. 10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. 11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. 12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. 13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. 14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful. 15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. 16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. 17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled. 18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth."
The Great Whore
17:1-2 - The Great Whore is the Roman Catholic Church. Cross references: 1 John 2:15, Jeremiah 5:17
17:3-7 - The Beast with the seven heads and horns matches the one in Revelation 12. Verse 3 shows a symbol of the European Union and the Catholic Church (Leviticus 18:23). Purple and scarlet match the Roman Catholic Church. The Catholic church is political. The Pope's have had mass with a Golden Cup throughout history. The Catholic church is responsible for the killing of Christians throughout the history of the Church age (v6). There is no doubt that the Catholic church is Satanic.
17:8-9 - This shows Satan the Dragon being manifested into a man, who is Judas Iscariot. Cross reference: Isaiah 7:10-15
17:10-11 - The Beast that was is a man (Revelation 13:18). This man will come from the bottomless pit/perdition(Revelation 11:7). This man is Judas Iscariot who is from Kerioth. The sixth head on the Dragon is the Antichrist and typified in history by Alexander the Great. In the Tribulation, the Antichrist will be the eighth king after the Rome Empire is complete under the Roman Catholic church (Daniel 2).
17:12 - The ten horns represent kings (Daniel 2). These may not be called kings, but receive power as kings.
17:13-14 - In the Tribulation the Roman Catholic church will have revived the Roman Empire. The Lamb is Jesus Christ. The ten kings will be demonic fallen angels. The Devil will come down into the Roman Catholic Pope's body, who will be the Antichrist and also Judas will come up from perdition into the Pope's body.
17:15 - Remember that the first natural birth is by water (John 3:3-6).
17:16- The ten demonic kings are cannibals. These verses show that the Antichrist will have power over the 10 kings and turn against the Whore, which is the Roman Catholic Church and destroy her. The Whore will be burnt with fire.
17:17 - "Their" is the ten kings. The ten kings will get together with the Antichrist. The kingdom is the ten-king federation kingdom.
17:18 - Cites are also likened unto women in Joshua 17:11. This city is Rome with the Roman Catholic Church being the Great Whore.
The Great Whore
17:1-2 - The Great Whore is the Roman Catholic Church. Cross references: 1 John 2:15, Jeremiah 5:17

Chapter 16
Revelation 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. 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. 3 And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea. 4 And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood. 5 And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus. 6 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy. 7 And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments. 8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire. 9 And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory. 10 And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain, 11 And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds."
The vials of the wrath of God on earth
16:1 - This starts the vials of the wrath of God being poured out on the earth towards the end of the Tribulation. This wrath is the result of people rejecting God's Son.
16:2 - Again these events take place at the last half of the Tribulation because it is not until the last half that the image of the beast shows up. Noisome means malignant or grievous. The black spot turns into a white spot like leprosy (Leviticus 13:13, 53). This is not for certain, but some believe that the ones who take the Mark of the Beast can be saved by getting baptized by Moses and Elijah (Acts 2:38, 2 Kings 5:1, 1 Peter 3:21).
16:3 - This happens under the preaching of Moses (Revelation 11:6). Animals have souls, but not like men's souls. An animal's soul is stuck to it's body and when the body dies, the soul dies also without going to heaven or hell (Numbers 31:28). The souls in this verse may refer to both animals and humans. Cross references: Genesis 19:20, Leviticus 22:6, Revelation 8:8-9
16:4 - The water becomes blood.
16:5-6 - These verses show God's judgment on those who killed his saints. In Revelation 17, you see a woman drinking blood even though it is forbidden in every dispensation. The Catholic church professes to drink Christ's blood every Mass.
16:7-8 - This is during the end of the Tribulation when the sun gets brighter. In the Millennium after the Tribulation, the sun will become seven times brighter (Isaiah 30:26).
16:9 - The people being burnt by the sun do not get right instead they blaspheme the name of God.
16:10 - This also happened in Exodus 10:20-23. The seat of the beast is where the beast sits at Rome (Revelation 2:13).
16:11 - This shows the strength of the will of man to reject God even after all the plagues.
Revelation 16:12 "And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared. 13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. 14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. 15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. 16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon."
Battle of Armageddon
16:12 - This also happens in Revelation 9:13-16 indicating that maybe the vials and trumpets are simultaneous and begin in the middle of the Tribulation. The number of these men coming from the East are given in Revelation 9:16 as 200 million. The men may be the souls of the unsaved dead coming out of hell. The troops come from China, Russia, India, Japan and etc.
16:13 - The Holy Spirit is like a dove(Matthew 13) and the unclean spirit is like a frog. These spirits are used to deceive (2 Thes. 2:9). Cross reference: Numbers 22:41
16:14 - This shows that unclean spirits can do miracles, such as heal, speak in tongues and raise the dead (Revelation 13:3,14). The day of the Lord is also talked about in Isaiah 2:12, 13:6,9, Jeremiah 46:10, Ezekiel 13:5, 30:3, Joel 1:15, 2:1,11,31, 3:14, Amos 5:18,20, Obadiah 15, Zeph. 1:7,14, 2:2-3, Zechariah 14:1, Malachi 4:5.
16:15 - This show faith is connected with works during the Tribulation(Revelation 6:11, 7:14, 12:11, 14:12) and also shows a Tribulation Rapture (Matthew 24:29-31, 43, 50, Psalms 50:3-5, Isaiah 26:12-21). Cross reference: Joel 2:9
16:16 - Armageddon means the hill of the crowded. This is speaking of the Second Coming of Christ. Cross references: Judges 5:19, 2 Kings 23:29-30, 2 Chronicles 35:22, Zechariah 12:11
Revelation 16:17 "And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done. 18 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great. 19 And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. 20 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. 21 And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great."
The seventh vial of God's wrath
16:17-18 - A great earthquake happens that beats all earthquakes in history. This is also mentioned in Isaiah 24:1-23.
16:19 - Babylon will be destroyed in Revelation 18:2. Revelation 17-18 is the description of this verse and this happens before the Second Advent.
16:20-21 - Hailstones that are about 80 pounds each fall down to the earth. Hail is also found in Joshua 10:8-13, showing Joshua being a picture of the Second Coming. Compare the last of verse 21 with Psalms 18:13, Leviticus 24:16, Revelation 11:19 and 2 Peter 3:9. Notice that man still does not get right with God after all these plagues.
The vials of the wrath of God on earth
16:1 - This starts the vials of the wrath of God being poured out on the earth towards the end of the Tribulation. This wrath is the result of people rejecting God's Son.
16:2 - Again these events take place at the last half of the Tribulation because it is not until the last half that the image of the beast shows up. Noisome means malignant or grievous. The black spot turns into a white spot like leprosy (Leviticus 13:13, 53). This is not for certain, but some believe that the ones who take the Mark of the Beast can be saved by getting baptized by Moses and Elijah (Acts 2:38, 2 Kings 5:1, 1 Peter 3:21).
16:3 - This happens under the preaching of Moses (Revelation 11:6). Animals have souls, but not like men's souls. An animal's soul is stuck to it's body and when the body dies, the soul dies also without going to heaven or hell (Numbers 31:28). The souls in this verse may refer to both animals and humans. Cross references: Genesis 19:20, Leviticus 22:6, Revelation 8:8-9
16:4 - The water becomes blood.
16:5-6 - These verses show God's judgment on those who killed his saints. In Revelation 17, you see a woman drinking blood even though it is forbidden in every dispensation. The Catholic church professes to drink Christ's blood every Mass.
16:7-8 - This is during the end of the Tribulation when the sun gets brighter. In the Millennium after the Tribulation, the sun will become seven times brighter (Isaiah 30:26).
16:9 - The people being burnt by the sun do not get right instead they blaspheme the name of God.
16:10 - This also happened in Exodus 10:20-23. The seat of the beast is where the beast sits at Rome (Revelation 2:13).
16:11 - This shows the strength of the will of man to reject God even after all the plagues.
Revelation 16:12 "And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared. 13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. 14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. 15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. 16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon."
Battle of Armageddon
16:12 - This also happens in Revelation 9:13-16 indicating that maybe the vials and trumpets are simultaneous and begin in the middle of the Tribulation. The number of these men coming from the East are given in Revelation 9:16 as 200 million. The men may be the souls of the unsaved dead coming out of hell. The troops come from China, Russia, India, Japan and etc.
16:13 - The Holy Spirit is like a dove(Matthew 13) and the unclean spirit is like a frog. These spirits are used to deceive (2 Thes. 2:9). Cross reference: Numbers 22:41
16:14 - This shows that unclean spirits can do miracles, such as heal, speak in tongues and raise the dead (Revelation 13:3,14). The day of the Lord is also talked about in Isaiah 2:12, 13:6,9, Jeremiah 46:10, Ezekiel 13:5, 30:3, Joel 1:15, 2:1,11,31, 3:14, Amos 5:18,20, Obadiah 15, Zeph. 1:7,14, 2:2-3, Zechariah 14:1, Malachi 4:5.
16:15 - This show faith is connected with works during the Tribulation(Revelation 6:11, 7:14, 12:11, 14:12) and also shows a Tribulation Rapture (Matthew 24:29-31, 43, 50, Psalms 50:3-5, Isaiah 26:12-21). Cross reference: Joel 2:9
16:16 - Armageddon means the hill of the crowded. This is speaking of the Second Coming of Christ. Cross references: Judges 5:19, 2 Kings 23:29-30, 2 Chronicles 35:22, Zechariah 12:11
Revelation 16:17 "And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done. 18 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great. 19 And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. 20 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. 21 And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great."
The seventh vial of God's wrath
16:17-18 - A great earthquake happens that beats all earthquakes in history. This is also mentioned in Isaiah 24:1-23.
16:19 - Babylon will be destroyed in Revelation 18:2. Revelation 17-18 is the description of this verse and this happens before the Second Advent.
16:20-21 - Hailstones that are about 80 pounds each fall down to the earth. Hail is also found in Joshua 10:8-13, showing Joshua being a picture of the Second Coming. Compare the last of verse 21 with Psalms 18:13, Leviticus 24:16, Revelation 11:19 and 2 Peter 3:9. Notice that man still does not get right with God after all these plagues.

Chapter 15
Revelation 15:1 "And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God. 2 And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God. 3 And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints. 4 Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest. 5 And after that I looked, and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened: 6 And the seven angels came out of the temple, having the seven plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and having their breasts girded with golden girdles. 7 And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who liveth for ever and ever. 8 And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power; and no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled."
Fourth and final account of the Tribulation
15:1 - The Tribulation saints are probably gone when these events take place. The Beast starts to give his Mark in the Middle of the Tribulation (Revelation 13). The vials are poured out at the last half of the Tribulation.
15:2 - This verses shows that there is a Tribulation Rapture. These people match the ones in Revelation 14:2-3, 4:6 and 7:13-15. This event takes place before the Second Advent. The sea of glass is talked about in Job 37:10,18, 38:30 and Revelation 4:6.
15:3 - The song of Moses is mentioned in Deut. 32:1-44. This shows that Deut. 32 was not fulfilled at the First Coming, so it will be fulfilled in the Second Coming. This verse shows a faith and works set up in the Tribulation because of the songs mentioned, the song of Moses(law) and the Lamb(faith). Jesus Christ is the head of the Body of Christ, but will not be King until the Second Advent.
15:4 - This is a reference to the Second Advent. Cross references: Zechariah 14:16-17, Isaiah 2:1-4, 60:14, 62:7, Micah 4:1-2, Ezekiel 48:35, Jeremiah 3:17, Psalms 2:6-12, 66:4, 72:11, 86:9, 110:2, 96, 97
15:5-8 - The temple is found in heaven (Revelation 14:17, 11:19, 8:3-5). These last plagues will fall on those who reject Jesus Christ towards the end of the Tribulation.

Revelation 14:1 "And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads. 2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps: 3 And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth. 4 These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb. 5 And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God."
The 144,000 Jews in the third heaven
14:1 - The context is the last 3 1/2 years of the Tribulation. The scene is in the third heaven. Mount Sion is a heavenly city (Hebrews 12:22, Psalms 48:2). The Lamb represents Christ. Cross references: Revelation 7:3-4
14:2 - Music is used in heaven to give glory to God (Revelation 15:2-3).
14:3 - This song is the song of Moses in Revelation 15:3, 9 and they also sing the song of the Lamb showing a faith and works situation in the Tribulation.
14:4-5 - The 144,000 are single men who are physically and spiritually virgins (Matthew 25:1). Cross reference: 1 Corinthians 15:23
Revelation 14:6 "And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, 7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters."
Everlasting Gospel
14:6-7 - This angel preaches a gospel that is not like Paul's faith alone gospel. This is a gospel to the Gentiles in the Tribulation that deals with works and fearing God. Cross reference: Acts 14:15, 17:24-27
Revelation 14:8 "And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. 9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, 10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: 11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. 12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus."
Tribulation: Faith and Works
14:8 - This verse goes with Revelation 17.

Revelation 14:13 "And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them. 14 And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle. 15 And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe. 16 And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped. 17 And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle. 18 And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe. 19 And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God. 20 And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs."
Third account of the ending of the Tribulation period
14:13 - The Tribulation saints will be rewarded at the Great White Throne Judgment (Revelation 11:18). Cross references: Hebrew 6:12, Matthew 24:13

Chapter 13
Revelation 13:1 "And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. 2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. 3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. 4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? 5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months."
Satanic Trinity
13:1 - The beast represents a king and a kingdom (Daniel 7, Revelation 17:10-11). The beast in Daniel 7:7 is the beast talked about here. The speaker in this verse is John and the sea mentioned is the Mediterranean sea. The beast represents the man in Revelation 13:18 and is Satan in the flesh (Revelation 12:3, 2 Thes. 2:3-9). This chapter also shows the Unholy Trinity: Dragon(Father), Beast(Son) and False Prophet(Holy Spirit)
13:2 - The beast is like a leopard with spots (Jeremiah 13:23). This shows that he is integrated. The yellow represents the Asiatic race, white is European and black is African. This means the Antichrist will be a Roman Catholic Hamite Syrian Jew. All three animals are said to mark X's in trees. The leopard represent America showing integration. The lion shows that the universal language will be English (Daniel 7:4). The bear represents Russia and shows that the beast will be Communist (Daniel 7:5).
13:3 - The wounded head represents a nation that was cut off and going to be restored. Cross references: Ezekiel 30:24, Zechariah 11:17, 2 Thes. 2:7

13:5 - The Antichrist's ministry will be 3 1/2 years, just like Jesus' ministry.
Revelation 13:6 "And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. 7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. 8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. 9 If any man have an ear, let him hear. 10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints."
The Antichrist will be a military dictator on the earth
13:6-10 - Cross references: Daniel 7:21-35. Verse 7 shows a one world government. Verse 8 shows a book of life connected with the Tribulation (Psalms 109:13).
Revelation 13:11 "And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. 12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. 13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,"
False Prophet
13:11 - This is the False Prophet (Revelation 16:13, 19:20, 20:10, Matthew 24:24).
13:12-13 - The Devil is able to do miracles (Revelation 16:13-14). The Antichrist will be connected with idols and will be an idol shepherd (Zechariah 11:17).
Revelation 13:14 "And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. 15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. 16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six."
Satanic deception on earth
13:14-15 - Satan will deceive man into thinking that he is God. God allows Satan to give counterfeit life.
13:16 - This shows that there are still slaves in the Tribulation. The Mark of the Beast will be given in the right hand or forehead. The Mark is connected with leprosy(leopard) (Leviticus 13:13)
13:17 - In the Tribulation, people will have to have the Mark to buy, sell or eat.
13:18 - The Beast will be Judas Iscariot when is he resurrected(John 6:66). Cross references: Ezra 2:13, 2 Chronicles 9:13. The Pope has "VICARIVS FILII DEI" in his hat, which means faithful vicar of God and in Latin equals 666 when added up.

This means the Antichrist will be a Roman Catholic Hamite Syrian Jew. All three animals are said to mark X's in trees. The leopard represent America showing integration. The lion shows that the universal language will be English (Daniel 7:4). The bear represents Russia and shows that the beast will be Communist (Daniel 7:5).
13:3 - The wounded head represents a nation that was cut off and going to be restored. Cross references: Ezekiel 30:24, Zechariah 11:17, 2 Thes. 2:7
13:4 - The Greek word for worship here is kiss (Revelation 9:20, 1 Kings 19:18, Luke 22:48).
13:5 - The Antichrist's ministry will be 3 1/2 years, just like Jesus' ministry.
Revelation 13:6 "And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. 7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. 8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. 9 If any man have an ear, let him hear. 10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints."
The Antichrist will be a military dictator on the earth
13:6-10 - Cross references: Daniel 7:21-35. Verse 7 shows a one world government. Verse 8 shows a book of life connected with the Tribulation (Psalms 109:13).
Revelation 13:11 "And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. 12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. 13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,"
False Prophet
13:11 - This is the False Prophet (Revelation 16:13, 19:20, 20:10, Matthew 24:24).
13:12-13 - The Devil is able to do miracles (Revelation 16:13-14). The Antichrist will be connected with idols and will be an idol shepherd (Zechariah 11:17).
Revelation 13:14 "And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. 15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. 16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six."
Satanic deception on earth
13:14-15 - Satan will deceive man into thinking that he is God. God allows Satan to give counterfeit life.
13:16 - This shows that there are still slaves in the Tribulation. The Mark of the Beast will be given in the right hand or forehead. The Mark is connected with leprosy(leopard) (Leviticus 13:13)
13:17 - In the Tribulation, people will have to have the Mark to buy, sell or eat.
13:18 - The Beast will be Judas Iscariot when is he resurrected(John 6:66). Cross references: Ezra 2:13, 2 Chronicles 9:13. The Pope has "VICARIVS FILII DEI" in his hat, which means faithful vicar of God and in Latin equals 666 when added up.
