REV 14: 6Then I saw another Angel flying high in the air, holding the Eternal Good News to announce to the people living on earth, to every nation, tribe, language, and race of people. 7The Angel shouted in a loud voice, “FEAR YAHUSHA AND GIVE HIM PRAISE, FOR THE HOUR HAS COME FOR HIM TO JUDGE ALL PEOPLE. WORSHIP YAHUSHA, FOR HE MADE THE HEAVENS, THE EARTH, THE SEA, AND THE SPRINGS OF WATER.” (NOT THE USUAL GOSPEL MSG IS IT? ... BUT IT ACTUALLY IS!)
THIS `GOOD NEWS' WILL ONLY BE GOOD AND CELEBRATED BY THE BRIDE ... BUT FOR THE REST OF THE WORLD, THE SAME GOSPEL 'GOOD NEWS' MESSAGE (BESORAH) IS ACTUALLY ONE OF JUDGMENT ... IT'S A LAST CHANCE ANNOUNCEMENT THAT TORAH IS RIGHT ... YOU ARE WRONG ... REPENT OR DIE!!
8Then the second Angel followed the first Angel, shouting: “BABEL HAS FALLEN, BABAL HAS FALLEN! THE GREAT CITY OF BABYLON IS DESTROYED! FOR SHE MADE ALL THE NATIONS DRINK THE WINE OF THE WRATH OF HER WHORING (SEXUAL SIN & IDOLATRY).”
THERE IS NO NATION ON EARTH THAT HAS NOT BEEN AFFECTED BY THE WINE OF BABYLON: HER DOCTRINES AND TEACHINGS OF IDOLATRY AND SEXUAL PERVERSION ... THE WHOLE WORLD IS FILLED WITH THIS IMMORAL BEHAVIOUR, AND ANYONE WHO DOES NOT `COME OUT OF HER ... WILL SHARE IN HER PLAGUES'.
9A third Angel followed the first two Angels and announced in a loud voice, “YAHUSHA WILL PUNISH ALL THOSE WHO WORSHIP THE BEAST, HIS IMAGE AND AGREE TO HAVE HIS MARK ON THEIR FOREHEAD OR ON THEIR HAND (SATAN'S SYSTEM OF WORLDLY MINDSETS AND PHILOSOPHIES, EXPRESSED THROUGH UNREPENTANT BEHAVIOUR!)
10THEY WILL DRINK THE WINE OF YAHUSHA’S WRATH, WHICH IS PREPARED WITH ALL ITS STRENGTH, UNDILUTED IN THE CUP (BOWL) OF HIS WRATH.
(THESE 7 FINAL WRATH BOWLS ARE ABOUT TO BE HURLED TO EARTH!)
THEY WILL BE TORTURED WITH FIRE AND SULFUR BEFORE THE SET-APART ANGELS AND THE LAMB.
(PEOPLE WILL BE TORMENTED IN BODY, MIND AND SPIRIT BY YAHUSHA!)
11AND THE SMOKE FROM THEIR BURNING AGONY WILL RISE FOREVER AND EVER, AND THERE WILL BE NO REST, DAY OR NIGHT, FOR THOSE WHO WORSHIP THE BEAST AND ITS IMAGE OR WHO WEAR THE MARK OF ITS NAME.”
(JUST LIKE SODOM & EGYPT, NEVER RECOVERING!)
12This means that Yahusha’s set-apart people must endure and be patient, guarding and obeying Yahuah’s Commands and keeping their trust in Yahusha.
ORIGINAL: "THIS IS THE ENDURANCE OF THE SET-APART ONES."
13Then I heard a voice from heaven, saying, “Write this: blessed are those who die in Me from now on, for they can rest from all their hard labours, and what they've done will stay with them.”
WHILE SPEAKING OF PHYSICAL DEATH HERE (AWAITING THE FIRST RESURRECTION), THOSE WHO DIE TO THEIR FLESH WILL ALSO HAVE REST & PEACE FROM WHAT'S COMING ON THE GLOBAL POPULATION.
HEBREW UNDERSTANDING :
Search results for "CONFUSION":
BABEL: confusion, inaccessible, i.e. lofty, shame (the feeling and the condition, as well as its cause); an idol, a shameful thing, to blush from shame, disappointed, reproach (hate), be confounded, be brought to confusion (into shame), to prostrate; to break down, either by violence, or by confusion and fear:--abolish, affright, be (make) afraid, amaze, beat down, discourage, dismay, go down, scare, terrify, to wound, taunt, hurt or insult ... great trouble.
THE EARLY SCRIPTURE SCHOLAR TYCONIUS WHO LIVED IN THE LATE 300'S SAYS "BABYLON IS INTERPRETED AS CONFUSION. BY IT THE CITY AND THE PEOPLE OF THE DEVIL ARE SHOWN, AND SO IS THE ENTIRE SEDUCTION OF THE VICES (BEHAVIOURS) THAT IT ALWAYS EXERCISES FOR ITS OWN RUIN AND FOR THE RUIN OF THE HUMAN RACE. BABYLON REFERS TO THE CONFUSION AND RANDOM TRIALS OF THE PRESENT LIFE....FOR CONFUSION IS THE MEANING OF BABYLON.... AND TO THE MANIC STUPIDITY OF THOSE WHO WORSHIP IDOLS...... FOR IF YOU WERE TO CONSIDER THE PHYSICAL BABYLON ITSELF, YOU WOULD NEVER FALL DOWN AND WORSHIP THE SIGHT BEFORE YOU. THEREFORE BABYLON IS THE CONFUSION OF THE WORLD AND THE TROUBLED DISORDER OF THIS LIFE, WHICH IN NO WAY HAS STOPPED".
SO TODAY THERE IS NO SPECIFIC GEOGRAPHICAL PLACE OR CITY OF BABYLON, FOR IT IS AN EXPRESSION THAT SPEAKS OF THE CONFUSION AND DISORDER AND DISCORD OF THIS FALLEN WORLD, FOLLOWING THE WICKED WINE OF THE WHORE'S BEAST SYSTEM, WHO'S ROOTS AND FOUNDATION ARE IN SATAN, BEGINNING IN THE GARDEN AND ESTABLISHING ITSELF (AFTER THE FLOOD) IN BABYLON.
SATAN IS THE AUTHOR OF CONFUSION AND HE SEEKS TO ATTACK YAHUSHA'S BRIDE WHILE THEY TEND TO YAHUSHA'S PORTAL OF LIGHT, AND SEND THEM REELING IN ALL DIRECTIONS, UPSET, CONFUSED AND EMOTIONAL ... UNABLE TO ENTER IN AND MAINTAIN YAHUSHA'S LIGHT ON THIS EARTH. TO MAKE THEM RETURN TO THEIR DEAD, LIFELESS DISCORD AND ARGUMENTATIVE BEHAVIOUR ONCE AGAIN.
THE OPPOSITE OF CONFUSION AND DISCORD IS TO SEEK YAHUSHA, HEAR HIM AND MAKE UP YOUR MIND ABOUT EVERYTHING THAT IS HAPPENING IN YOUR LIFE AND EXACTLY WHY IT IS HAPPENING ... THEN ONCE DECIDED ... CHANGE! STAND ON IT! ... UNSHAKEABLY !!
In 2 Timothy 4 Paul said "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the belief. All that awaits me now is the crown of righteousness which Yahusha, 'the Righteous Judge,' will award to me on that Day - and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for Him to appear".
IN HEBREW, TO HAVE DISCORD MEANS TO BE QUARRELLING, FIGHTING, BRAWLING, HAVING STRIFE, DRAMA, CONTESTS AND CONTENTION ... THIS WILL SEND US INTO CONFUSION & SHAME - AND WE WILL NEVER KNOW THE TRUE LOVE OF YAHUSHA REIGNING IN OUR HOMES !
SO WHAT WILL IT BE?
THE BEAST'S BEHAVIOUR OF DISCORD & CONFUSION? OR YAHUSHA'S REIGN OF LOVE & PEACE?
