From On Eagle's Wings



Holy Ground



Exodus 3:5b



"Remove your sandals from off your feet,

for the place on which you are standing is holy ground."



put off thy shoes from off thy feet,

for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.



“I'm ticklish!” squealed a girl in Baker Lake one Sunday morning

during Sunday school.

We had all taken off our boots and socks, carefully tracing each

other's feet onto colouring paper. Later, we filled our footsteps

with bright colours - even a bit of glitter.

That day's lesson was about holy ground. We discovered that

holiness isn't only found in a church building, but everywhere God’s

presence dwells - in our Sunday school room, our homes, the land

around us, even the ice rink.

Why? Because God is in all of us. He is with us, in us, and around us.

He is revealed in nature, in the people we meet, and in every corner

of creation.

Jesus came eating and drinking, loved the birds and the flowers,

blessed little children, and sat at the table with tax collectors,

sinners, and the poor - as well as the rich. With Jesus, we rejoice in

this world, its beauty, and all living creatures, for he called nothing

common or unclean.

As a joyful reminder, our colourful footsteps were taped above the

doorway, right under the sign that read, "You are standing on holy

ground."

Day 357 of My 5th Bible Study Journey - 23 December 2025 reflections Part 4

3) Daily verses taken from Billy Graham Evangelical Organisation



Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools



Week 7 Promises of Grace - Day 3 - All I need



Phil 4:19



19 But my God shall supply your every need according

to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.



19 But my God shall supply all your need according

to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.



"But Mom, I really need these!" The strident voice of a teenage girl

rose above the hum of voices in the department store. The item in question

was a pair of $80 blue Jeans, faded, bleached, and torn in the right knee.

Style . Fashion. Self-Image. The girl may not have needed the jeans to

enhance her wardrobe, but she obviously felt she needed then to

enhance her acceptability among her peers.

Phillippains 4:19 promises that God "shall supply your every need according

to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus." But just what needs does this

promise cover? My need for a bigger house? A better job?

An $80 pair of Calvin Kleins?

Certainly God knows and cares about the physical, superficial need of our

lives, and he provides what we need to sustain life. But God's priority

goes much deeper than the kind of radial tires we buy or the brand name on

our back pockets. God is interested in eternal values, in spiritual needs, and

he knows what we need in our lives to draw us closer to him.

"Out of his glorious riches in Christ Jesus," God will enrich us spiritually.

The application of Phil 4:19 involves trusting God to know and care about our

real needs, the deep needs of our souls, and allowing him the freedom to

order our circumstances so that those needs are met. When we are bold

enough to pray, "Lord, do whatever is necessary to make me more like

Jesus Christ," our Father delights to answer that prayer and supply our needs.



Application



a) What is the difference between my "Needs" and my "wants"?



b) What spiritual needs can I identify in my life?



c) How can this verse help me keep my own priorities

in line with God's value system?



4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland



Hebr 11:6



6 (1Ch 28:9; Jer 29:13-14) And without faith it is impossible to please God,

for he who comes to God must believe that He exists

and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.



6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh

to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them

that diligently seek him.



5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:



When you are Burdened by Doubt



Matt 7:7-11



Ask, Seek, Knock



Lk 11:9-13



7(Mt 21:22; Mk 11:24) "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find;

knock and it will be opened to you.

8 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds,

and to him who knocks, it will be opened.

9 "What man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread,

will give him a stone?

10 Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a snake?

11 (Ge 6:5; 8:21) If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts

to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give

good things to those who ask Him!



7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock,

and it shall be opened unto you:

8 for every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth;

and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread,

will he give him a stone?

10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?

11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children,

how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things

to them that ask him?



Remember God's promises when You pray



The Lord's prayer



Matthew 6:9-13



9 "Therefore pray in this manner:

Our Father who is in heaven,

hallowed be Your name.

10 (Mt 3:2; 4:17) Your kingdom come;

Your will be done

on earth, as it is in heaven.

11 (Pr 30:8; Isa 33:16) Give us this day our daily bread.

12 (Ex 34:7; Ps 32:1) And forgive us our debts,

as we forgive our debtors.

13 (1Co 10:13; Jn 17:15) And lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.

For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."



9 After this manner therefore pray ye:

Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

11 Give us this day our daily bread.

12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:

For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.



6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2023 edition?)



The Northern Territories of Canada



Yukon



Yukon Total population (2015) 36500 Muslim (est) 69



In Whitehorse the Muslim population grew from 2 families

in 2001 to more than 60 people in 2014. Originally meeting in a church,

they now meet for prayer service in a former office space.



Pray for Muslims and believers in Whitehorse to come together,

and for Muslims to find faith in Jesus Christ.



Northwest Territories (NWT)



NWT population (2015) 43600 Muslim (est) 473



The Muslim community of Yellowknife has grown from 275 to 330 un the past year.

To replace their inadequate facility, they are planning a C$2 to C$2.5 million

Islamic Centre.



Pray that the Muslims in Yellowknife and all of the NWT will awaken to

spiritual hunger and be open to saving faith in Jesus Christ.



Nunavut (NU)



NU total population (2015) 36600 Muslim (est) 86



The Islamic Centre of Iqaluit now claim about 100 Muslims and have surpassed

80 % of their funding goal to building the first mosque in this territory.

Their stated goal is "To spread the message of Islam

in the far northern reaches of Canada."



Pray that believers in Iqaluit take up Jesus' command to love and reach

their Muslim neighbours with the Gospel.



Adding further



30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020



Under the Keep Praying page



When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month

and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days

of fasting, the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that

usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and,

of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be

decorated and festivals will be held.

For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the

distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of

Islam.

You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",

which means Blessed Eid!"

Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you

know, and Muslims around the world:

- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions

in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about

unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such

movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three

decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim

relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.



Acts 2:12-17 : 17 12 They were all amazed and perplexed, saying to each other,

"What does this mean?"

13 (1Co 14:23) Others mocking said, "These men are full of new wine."



Peter's Speech at Pentecost



14 (Ac 1:26) But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice

and said to them, "Men of Judea and all you who dwell in Jerusalem,

let this be known to you, and listen to my words.

15 For these are not drunk, as you suppose,

since it is the third hour of the day.

16 But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:

17 (Isa 44:3; Ac 10:45) 'In the last days it shall be,' says God,

'that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;

your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,

your young men shall see visions,

and your old men shall dream dreams.'



- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective

discipleship movements among Muslim people.



- Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for

Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus.



Matthew 5:14-15 : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a

hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under

a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the

house."



Ideas for prayer



- Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you

- Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving

Christ among Muslim people -



Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."

- When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims

throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days!



My paternal side is of Muslim heritage and will offer this section to further

call for Muslim converts to Christian and any other converts to Christianity



(Hindus, Jews, aboriginals Canadian, atheists, secular humanists, ...)

Day 357 of My 5th Bible Study Journey - 23 December 2025 reflections Part 3

Revelation 22



1 (Zec 14:8; Rev 7:17) Then he showed me a pure river of the water of life,

clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb

2 (Rev 2:7; Ge 2:9) in the middle of its street. On each side of the river

was the tree of life, which bore twelve kinds of fruit,

yielding its fruit each month. The leaves of the tree were

for the healing of the nations.

3 (Zec 14:11; Ps 17:15) There shall be no more curse. The throne of God

and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him.

4 (Mt 5:8; Rev 14:1) They shall see His face, and His name shall

be on their foreheads.

5 (Da 7:27; 7:18) Night shall be no more. They need no lamp

nor the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light.

And they shall reign forever and ever.



[1] And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal,

proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.

[2] In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was

there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her

fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the

nations.

[3] And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb

shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:

[4] And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.

[5] And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither

light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign

for ever and ever.



The Coming of Christ



6 (Rev 1:1; 21:5; 19:9) The angel said to me, "These words are faithful

and true. The Lord God of the holy prophets sent His angel to show

to His servants the things which must soon take place."

7 (Rev 1:3; 3:11; 22:12) "Look, I am coming soon. Blessed is he who keeps

the words of the prophecy of this book."

8 (Rev 19:10; 1:1) I, John, am he who saw and heard these things.

When I heard and saw them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel

who showed me these things.

9 (Rev 19:10) But he said to me, "See that you not do that.

For I am your fellow servant, and of your brothers the prophets,

and of those who keep the words of this book. Worship God!"

10 (Rev 10:4; Da 8:26) Then he said to me, "Do not seal the words

of the prophecy of this book, for the time is at hand.

11 (Eze 3:27; Da 12:10) He who is unjust, let him be unjust still.

He who is filthy, let him be filthy still. He who is righteous,

let him be righteous still. He who is holy, let him be holy still."

12 (Isa 40:10; Rev 22:7) "Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with Me

to give to each one according to his work.

13 (Rev 1:8; 21:6; 1:17) I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning

and the End, the First and the Last."

14 (Rev 21:27; 22:2) Blessed are those who do His commandments,

that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter

through the gates into the city.

15 (Rev 21:8; Gal 5:19-21; Php 3:2) Outside are dogs and sorcerers

and the sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters

and everyone who loves and practices a lie.

16 (Rev 1:1; 5:5; Mt 2:2) "I, Jesus, have sent My angel to you

with this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring

of David, the Bright and Morning Star."

(The Bright and Morning Star, esp The Morning Star is not fallen)

17 (Rev 21:6; Isa 2:5) The Spirit and the bride say, "Come."

Let him who hears say, "Come." Let him who is thirsty come.

Let him who desires take the water of life freely.

18 (Dt 4:2; Pr 30:6) I testify to everyone who hears the words

of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things,

God shall add to him the plagues that are written in this book.

19 (Rev 22:2; 13:8) And if anyone takes away from the words

of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part

out of the Book of Life and out of the Holy City

and out of the things which are written in this book.

20 (Rev 22:7; 1Co 16:22) He who testifies to these things says,

"Surely I am coming soon."

Amen. Even so, come Lord Jesus!

21 (Ro 16:20) The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.



[6] And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord

God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things

which must shortly be done.

[7] Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the

prophecy of this book.

[8] And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and

seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me

these things.

[9] Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant,

and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this

book: worship God.

[10] And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this

book: for the time is at hand.

[11] He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let

him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still:

and he that is holy, let him be holy still.

[12] And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every

man according as his work shall be.

[13] I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the

last.

[14] Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to

the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

[15] For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers,

and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

[16] I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the

churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and

morning star.

[17] And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say,

Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the

water of life freely.

[18] For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of

this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him

the plagues that are written in this book:

[19] And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this

prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of

the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

[20] He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen.

Even so, come, Lord Jesus.



2) Our Daily Bread for 23 December 2025 Titled

No Favoritism by Mike Wittmer



James 2:1-4, 8-13



Warning Against Partiality



1 (1Co 2:8; Lev 19:15) My brothers, have faith in our Lord Jesus Christ,

the Lord of glory, without partiality.

2 For if a man with a gold ring, in fine clothing, comes into your assembly,

and also a poor man in ragged clothing comes in,

3 and you have respect for him who wears the fine clothing and say to him,

"Sit here in a good place," and say to the poor, "Stand there,"

or "Sit here under my footstool,"

4 (Jn 7:24) have you not then become partial among yourselves

and become judges with evil thoughts?



8 (Lev 19:18) If you fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture,

"You shall love your neighbor as yourself,"(Lev 19:18.) you are doing well.

9 But if you show partiality, you are committing sin and are convicted

by the law as sinners.

10 (Gal 3:10) For whoever shall keep the whole law and yet offend

in one point is guilty of breaking the whole law.

11 (Ex 20:13-14; Dt 5:17-18) For He who said,

"Do not commit adultery,"(Ex 20:14; Dt 5:18.)

also said, "Do not kill."(Ex 20:13; Dt 5:17.)

Now if you do not commit adultery, yet you kill,

you have become a lawbreaker.

12 (Jas 1:25) So speak and so do as those who will be judged

by the law of liberty.

13 (Pr 21:13; Mt 5:7) For he who has shown no mercy will

have judgment without mercy, for mercy triumphs over judgment.



[1] My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of

glory, with respect of persons.

[2] For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly

apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment;

[3] And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto

him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there,

or sit here under my footstool:

[4] Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil

thoughts?



[8] If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love

thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:

[9] But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of

the law as transgressors.

[10] For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he

is guilty of all.

[11] For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now

if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor

of the law.

[12] So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of

liberty.

[13] For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy;

and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.



In 1872, President Ulysses S. Grant was stopped for recklessly driving his

carriage through Washington DC. One published account says that the officer,

an African American named William West, warned Grant, "Your fast driving,

sir . . . is endangering the lives of the people who have

to cross the street." Grant apologised, but the next night he was racing

carriages again. West stopped Grant's horses. "I am very sorry, Mr. President,

to have to do it, for you are the chief of the nation and I am nothing

but a policeman, but duty is duty." West arrested the president.



I admire this brave man for doing his duty. So did Grant. He praised West

and made sure he kept his job. God also was pleased, for He hates

the injustice of favoritism. James wrote,

"Believers in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ must not show favoritism"

(James 2:1). That includes not giving special favors to the rich and powerful,

leaving only leftovers for the poor (vv. 2-4). Instead, we're called to love

our neighbour as ourselves (v. 8-). If we play favourites, serving our platinum

club neighbours rather than the less privileged,

we "sin and are convicted by the law as lawbreakers" (v. 9).



God didn't play favorites with us. He loved us when we had nothing to offer,

when we were "without hope and without God in the world" (Ephesians 2:12).

With His help, we can love all people equally.



Reflect & Pray



Why is favoritism such a harmful thing? How might you avoid playing favorites?



I praise You, Father, that no human is above or beneath me.

Day 357 of My 5th Bible Study Journey - 23 December 2025 reflections Part 2

Revelation 20



The Great White Throne Judgment



11 (Da 2:35; Rev 12:8) Then I saw a great white throne

and Him who was seated on it. From His face the earth

and the heavens fled away, and no place was found for them.

12 (Da 7:10; Mt 16:27) And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before

God. Books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is the Book

of Life. The dead were judged according to their works as recorded

in the books.

13 (Rev 6:8; 20:12) The sea gave up the dead who were in it,

and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them.

And they were judged, each one by his works.

14 (1Co 15:26; Rev 20:6) Then Death and Hades were cast into

the lake of fire. This is the second death.

15 (Mt 25:41; Mk 9:43-48) Anyone whose name was not found written

in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.



[11] And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face

the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.

[12] And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books

were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the

dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books,

according to their works.

[13] And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell

delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man

according to their works.

[14] And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second

death.

[15] And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into

the lake of fire.



Revelation 21



The New Heaven and the New Earth



1 (Isa 66:22; 2Pe 3:13) Then I saw "a new heaven and a new earth."(Isa 65:17.)

For the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no

more sea.

2 (Heb 11:10; Rev 3:12) I, John, saw the Holy City, the New Jerusalem,

coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned

for her husband.

3 (2Co 6:16; Rev 7:15) And I heard a loud voice from heaven, saying,

"Look! The tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them.

They shall be His people, and God Himself will be with them

and be their God.

4 (Isa 25:8; 35:10; 1Co 15:26) 'God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

There shall be no more death.'(Isa 25:8.) Neither shall there be any more

sorrow nor crying nor pain, for the former things have passed away."

5 (Rev 4:9; 20:11) He who was seated on the throne said,

"Look! I am making all things new." Then He said to me,

"Write, for these words are faithful and true."

6 (Rev 1:8; 22:13; Jn 4:10) He said to me, "It is done. I am the Alpha

and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the spring

of the water of life to him who thirsts.

7 (Rev 21:3; Mt 25:34) He who overcomes shall inherit all things,

and I will be his God and he shall be My son. (2Sa 7:14; Ps 89:26.)

8 (Rev 19:20; Gal 5:19-21) But the cowardly, the unbelieving,

the abominable, the murderers, the sexually immoral, the sorcerers,

the idolaters, and all liars shall have their portion

in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone. This is the second death."



[1] And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the

first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

[2] And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of

heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

[3] And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle

of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his

people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.

[4] And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no

more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more

pain: for the former things are passed away.

[5] And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And

he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

[6] And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and

the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water

of life freely.

[7] He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and

he shall be my son.

[8] But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and

whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their

part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second

death.



The New Jerusalem



9 (Rev 19:7; 21:2) One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full

of the seven last plagues came to me and said to me,

"Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb."

10 (Rev 17:3; 1:10) And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great

and high mountain, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, descending

out of heaven from God,

11 (Rev 4:6; 22:5) having the glory of God, her light like a most

precious jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal.

12 (Eze 48:31-34; Rev 21:25) 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 written:

13 three gates on the east, three gates on the north, three gates

on the south, and three gates on the west.

14 (Heb 11:10; Mt 16:18) The wall of the city had twelve foundations,

and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

15 He who talked with me had a golden rod to measure the city

and its gates and wall. 16The city lies as a square,

its length as long as its width. He measured the city with the rod:

one thousand four hundred miles.(Gk. 12,000 stadia, or 2,200 kilometers.)

Its length and breadth and height are equal.

17 He then measured its wall: two hundred feet(144 cubits, or 65 meters.)

by the measurement of a man, that is, of an angel.

18 (Rev 21:11; 21:21) The wall was built of jasper and the city was pure gold,

as clear as glass.

19 (Isa 54:11-12) The foundations of the wall of the city were garnished

with all kinds of precious jewels. The first foundation was jasper;

the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald;

20 the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite;

the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprase;

the eleventh, jacinth; and the twelfth, amethyst.

21 (Rev 21:18; 17:4; 22:2) 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.

22 (Jn 4:23; Rev 1:8) I saw no temple in the city, for the Lord God Almighty

and the Lamb are its temple.

23 (Rev 21:11; Isa 60:19-20; Rev 22:5) The city has no need of sun

or moon to shine in it, for the glory of God is its light,

and its lamp is the Lamb.

24 (Rev 22:2) And the nations of those who are saved shall walk in its light,

and the kings of the earth shall bring their glory and honour into it.

25 (Isa 60:11; Zec 14:7) Its gates shall never be shut by day, for there

shall be no night there. 26They shall bring into it the glory and the honor

of the nations.

27 (Isa 52:1; Joel 3:17) No unclean thing shall ever enter it, nor shall anyone

who commits abomination or falsehood, but only those whose names are written

in the Lamb's Book of Life.



[9] And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials

full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I

will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.

[10] And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and

shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from

God,

[11] Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most

precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;

[12] And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates

twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve

tribes of the children of Israel:

[13] On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three

gates; and on the west three gates.

[14] And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names

of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

[15] And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and

the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.

[16] And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the

breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs.

The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.

[17] And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits,

according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.

[18] And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure

gold, like unto clear glass.

[19] And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all

manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second,

sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald;

[20] The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the

eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh,

a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.

[21] And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one

pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent

glass.

[22] And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are

the temple of it.

[23] And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in

it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.

[24] And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it:

and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.

[25] And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be

no night there.

[26] And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.

[27] And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth,

neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are

written in the Lamb's book of life.



Revelation 22



1 (Zec 14:8; Rev 7:17) Then he showed me a pure river of the water of life,

clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb

2 (Rev 2:7; Ge 2:9) in the middle of its street. On each side of the river

was the tree of life, which bore twelve kinds of fruit,

yielding its fruit each month. The leaves of the tree were

for the healing of the nations.

3 (Zec 14:11; Ps 17:15) There shall be no more curse. The throne of God

and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him.

4 (Mt 5:8; Rev 14:1) They shall see His face, and His name shall

be on their foreheads.

5 (Da 7:27; 7:18) Night shall be no more. They need no lamp

nor the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light.

And they shall reign forever and ever.



[1] And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal,

proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.

[2] In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was

there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her

fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the

nations.

[3] And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb

shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:

[4] And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.

[5] And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither

light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign

for ever and ever.

Day 357, 23 December 2025



1)Revelation 19,20 ,21, 22



Revelation 19 - 22



Revelation 19



1 (Rev 11:15; 19:6; 12:10) After these things I heard a great sound

of many people in heaven, shouting:

"Alleluia!

Salvation and glory and honor and power belong to the Lord our God!

2 (Dt 32:43; Rev 6:10) For true and righteous are His judgments,

because He has judged the great prostitute

who corrupted the earth with her sexual immorality;

and He has avenged on her the blood of His servants.-

3 (Isa 34:10; Rev 14:11) Again they said:

"Alleluia!

Her smoke rises forever and ever."

4 (Rev 5:14; Ps 106:48) The twenty-four elders and the four living creatures

fell down and worshipped God who sat on the throne, saying:

"Amen! Alleluia!"



[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.



The Marriage Supper of the Lamb



5 (Ps 134:1; 135:1) Then a voice came from the throne, saying:

"Praise our God,

all you His servants

and those who fear Him,

both small and great!"

6 (Rev 14:2; Ps 97:1) Then I heard something like the sound like a great

multitude, as the sound of many waters and as the sound of mighty thunderings,

saying:

"Alleluia!

For the Lord God Omnipotent reigns!

7 (Mt 22:2; Eph 5:32) Let us be glad and rejoice

and give Him glory,

for the marriage of the Lamb has come,

and His wife has made herself ready.

8 (Ps 45:13-14; 132:9) It was granted her to be arrayed in fine linen,

clean and white."

Fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints.

9 (Rev 21:5; 22:6) Then he said to me, "Write: Blessed are those who are

invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb." And he said to me,

"These are the true sayings of God."

10 (Rev 12:17; 22:8-9) I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me,

"See that you not do that. I am your fellow servant, and of your brothers

who hold the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus

is the spirit of prophecy."



[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.

[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 Rider on the White Horse



11 (Rev 3:14; 6:2) I saw heaven opened. And there was a white horse.

He who sat on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness

He judges and wages war.

12 (Rev 1:14; 6:2) His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on His head

are many crowns. He has a name written, that no one knows but He Himself.

13 (Jn 1:1) He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood. His name

is called The Word of God.

14 (Rev 19:8; 7:9 ) The armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen,

white and clean, followed Him on white horses.

15 (Isa 11:4; 2Th 2:8) Out of His mouth proceeds a sharp sword,

with which He may strike the nations.

"He shall rule them with an iron scepter."(Ps 2:9.)

He treads the winepress of the fury and wrath of God the Almighty.

16 (Rev 17:14) On His robe and on His thigh He has a name written:

KING OF KINGS

AND LORD OF LORDS.

17 (Rev 19:21; Jer 12:9) And I saw an angel standing in the sun,

and he cried with a loud voice to all the birds flying in the midst

of heaven, "Come and gather for the supper of the great God,

18 (Eze 39:18-20; Rev 6:15) to eat the flesh of kings, the flesh

of commanders, the flesh of strong men, the flesh of horses

and their riders, and the flesh of all men, both free and slave,

both small and great!"

19 (Rev 16:16; 16:14) Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth

with their armies gathered to wage war against Him who sat on the horse

and against His army.

20 (Rev 20:10; 21:8; 14:10) But the beast was captured and with him

the false prophet who worked signs in his presence, by which

he deceived those who received the mark of the beast

and those who worshipped his image. These two were thrown alive

into the lake of fire that burns with brimstone.

21 The remnant were slain with the sword which proceeded

out of the mouth of Him who sat on the horse.

And all the birds gorged themselves with their flesh .



[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.

[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.

Revelation 20



The Thousand Years



1 (Rev 1:18; 10:1) And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven,

having the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.

2 (2Pe 2:4; Rev 12:9) He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent,

who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years.

3 (Da 6:17; Mt 27:66) He cast him into the bottomless pit,

and shut him up, and set a seal on him, that he should deceive

the nations no more, until the thousand years were ended.

After that he must be set free for a little while.

4 (Da 7:9; 7:18) I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and the authority

to judge was given to them. And I saw the souls of those who had been

beheaded for their witness of Jesus and for the word of God.

They had not worshipped the beast or his image, and had not received

his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. They came to life

and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.

5 The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years

were ended. This is the first resurrection.

6 (Rev 1:6; 2:11; 5:10) Blessed and holy is he who takes part

in the first resurrection. Over these the second death has no power,

but they shall be priests of God and of Christ and shall reign with

Him a thousand years.



[1] And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the

bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.

[2] And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil,

and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,

[3] And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal

upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand

years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.

[4] And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto

them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of

Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast,

neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in

their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

[5] But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were

finished. This is the first resurrection.

[6] Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such

the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of

Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.



( PLease note on Lucifer aka Satan is in jail, but not the rest of the demons)



The Defeat of Satan



7 (Rev 20:2) When the thousand years are ended, Satan will be set free from

his prison

8 (Rev 16:14; 20:3) and will go out to deceive the nations which are

in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them for battle.

Their number is like the sand of the sea.

9 (Eze 38:9; 38:16) They traveled the breadth of the earth and surrounded

the camp of the saints and the beloved city. But fire came down from God

out of heaven and devoured them.

10 (Rev 19:20; 20:2-3; 20:14-15) The devil, who deceived them, was cast

into the lake of fire and brimstone

where the beast and the false prophet were. They will be tormented day

and night forever and ever.



[7] And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of

his prison,

[8] And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters

of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number

of whom is as the sand of the sea.

[9] And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of

the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of

heaven, and devoured them.

[10] And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and

brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented

day and night for ever and ever.

From On Eagle's Wings



Sojourner



14 When he rose, he took the young Child and His mother by night,

and departed into Egypt,

15 (Hos 11:1; Ex 4:22) and remained there until the death of Herod,

to fulfill what the Lord had spoken through the prophet,

"Out of Egypt I have called My Son."

A talent was worth several hundred pounds.



[14] When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and

departed into Egypt:

[15] And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled

which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I

called my son. Matthew 2:14-15



As travelers bustled through the Edmonton airport one cold

morning, they passed by Tim Horton's iconically long line. I was on

my way up to Aklavik with Robin to lead a Healing Group. As we

waited in line, he told me of the Anglican priest Reverend Victor and

his wife Nalini who had invited us to come and would host us. They

had left their home in India a decade prior and had since been

serving in the Arctic.

Breakfast in hand we found a table and exchanged stories while we

waited for our flight. Robin shared of his upbringing in Ireland and

his call to serve in Canada, while I shared of my missional

upbringing in Africa and recent ministry engagements in Canada.

The older I am, the more costly I realize travel, moving, and leaving

family behind is. When Christ came, he counted the cost. Creator

himself stepped into creation. Leaving the Father’s side,

Christ took on human flesh and lived among us, as a refugee, a

wanderer, a wanted and dying man. He meets us where we are at,

inviting all to be reconciled to the One who made them.

Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools



Week 7 Promises of Grace - Day 2 - Due Season



Gal 6:9



9 And let us not grow weary in doing good,

for in due season we shall reap, if we do not give up.



9 And let us not be weary in well doing:

for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.



Jackie's preschool class took on an exciting project: they were going to grow

flowers from seeds, Each child took the seed, planted it carefully in the

bedding soil, watered, and waited. But Jackie couldn't wait. Every day

for a week he ran to the window box, looked for his plants, poked, prodded,

unplanted the seeds and then planted them again. "It's no use,"

he pouted after the first week. "Nothing's gonna grow in there."

We live in an instant society - microwave dinners, quick fixes, easy answers.

We are conditioned by our environment to expect - even to demand -

immediate response, and when we have to wait,

we become impatient and irritable.

Paul's exhortation to the Galatians, "Let us not become weary in doing good,"

is as appropriate for twentieth-century believers as it was for the new church

at Galatia. We lose motivation when we don't see results,

and weariness sets in.

If our work does not seem to be producing as we hope, we want to abandon it

and move on to a new project.

But God says, "You will reap a harvest if you don't give up." We give up too

soon in our prayers for a loved one's salvation. We abandon hope too readily

when we don't see spiritual growth in our own lives, when our investment in

another's spiritual maturity seems to have no return. The Lord says,

"The harvest is coming; be patient; trust me."

In due season the harvest comes; when it's the right time. When the seed has

had time to germinate, when the roots are string enough, when the conditions

are right, the reaping time will come. But we must be willing to wait for

the due season, the moment of ripeness, when our labor brings its return.



Application



a) Have I ever felt that my spiritual labours have produced no harvest at all?



b) What does it mean to my own spiritual growth that there is a "due season"

for reaping the harvest?



4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland



Ps 1:3



He will be like a tree planted by the rivers of water,

that brings forth its fruit in its season;

its leaf will not wither,

and whatever he does will prosper.



3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water,

That bringeth forth his fruit in his season;

His leaf also shall not wither;

And whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.



5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:



When you are Angry or Vengeful



James 1:19-25



Hearing and Doing the Word



19 Therefore, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear,

slow to speak, and slow to anger,

20 for the anger of man does not work the righteousness of God.

21 Therefore lay aside all filthiness and remaining

wickedness and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able

to save your souls.

22 Be doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.

23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man

viewing his natural face in a mirror.

24 He views himself, and goes his way,

and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.

25 But whoever looks into

the perfect law of liberty, and continues in it,

and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work,

this man will be blessed in his deeds.



19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear,

slow to speak, slow to wrath:

20 for the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.

21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness,

and receive with meekness the engrafted word,

which is able to save your souls.

22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only,

deceiving your own selves.

23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer,

he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:

24 for he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway

forgetteth what manner of man he was.

25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty,

and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer,

but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.



Remember God's promises when You pray



The Lord's prayer



Matthew 6:9-13





9 "Therefore pray in this manner:

Our Father who is in heaven,

hallowed be Your name.

10 (Mt 3:2; 4:17) Your kingdom come;

Your will be done

on earth, as it is in heaven.

11 (Pr 30:8; Isa 33:16) Give us this day our daily bread.

12 (Ex 34:7; Ps 32:1) And forgive us our debts,

as we forgive our debtors.

13 (1Co 10:13; Jn 17:15) And lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.

For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."



9 After this manner therefore pray ye:

Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

11 Give us this day our daily bread.

12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:

For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.



6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2023 edition?)



The Northern Territories of Canada



Yukon



Yukon Total population (2015) 36500 Muslim (est) 69



In Whitehorse the Muslim population grew from 2 families

in 2001 to more than 60 people in 2014. Originally meeting in a church,

they now meet for prayer service in a former office space.



Pray for Muslims and believers in Whitehorse to come together,

and for Muslims to find faith in Jesus Christ.



Northwest Territories (NWT)



NWT population (2015) 43600 Muslim (est) 473



The Muslim community of Yellowknife has grown from 275 to 330 un the past year.

To replace their inadequate facility, they are planning a C$2 to C$2.5 million

Islamic Centre.



Pray that the Muslims in Yellowknife and all of the NWT will awaken to

spiritual hunger and be open to saving faith in Jesus Christ.



Nunavut (NU)



NU total population (2015) 36600 Muslim (est) 86



The Islamic Centre of Iqaluit now claim about 100 Muslims and have surpassed

80 % of their funding goal to building the first mosque in this territory.

Their stated goal is "To spread the message of Islam

in the far northern reaches of Canada."



Pray that believers in Iqaluit take up Jesus' command to love and reach

their Muslim neighbours with the Gospel.



Adding further



30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020



Under the Keep Praying page



When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month

and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days

of fasting, the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that

usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and,

of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be

decorated and festivals will be held.

For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the

distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of

Islam.

You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",

which means Blessed Eid!"

Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you

know, and Muslims around the world:

- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions

in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about

unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such

movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three

decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim

relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.



Acts 2:12-17 : 17 12 They were all amazed and perplexed, saying to each other,

"What does this mean?"

13 (1Co 14:23) Others mocking said, "These men are full of new wine."



Peter's Speech at Pentecost



14 (Ac 1:26) But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice

and said to them, "Men of Judea and all you who dwell in Jerusalem,

let this be known to you, and listen to my words.

15 For these are not drunk, as you suppose,

since it is the third hour of the day.

16 But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:

17 (Isa 44:3; Ac 10:45) 'In the last days it shall be,' says God,

'that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;

your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,

your young men shall see visions,

and your old men shall dream dreams.'



- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective

discipleship movements among Muslim people.



- Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for

Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus.



Matthew 5:14-15 : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a

hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under

a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the

house."



Ideas for prayer



- Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you

- Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving

Christ among Muslim people -



Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."

- When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims

throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days!



My paternal side is of Muslim heritage and will offer this section to further

call for Muslim converts to Christian and any other converts to Christianity

Revelation 16



The Seven Bowls of God's Wrath



1 (Rev 15:1; 16:2-12) Then I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to

the seven angels, "Go, pour out the bowls of the wrath of God on the earth."

2 (Rev 8:7) The first went and poured out his bowl on the earth, and foul

and grievous sores came on the men who had the mark of the beast

and those who worshipped his image.

3 (Ex 7:17-21; Rev 8:8-9) The second angel poured out his bowl on the sea.

It became like the blood of a dead man, and every living creature

in the sea died.

4 (Ex 7:17-20) The third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers

and springs of water, and they became blood.

5 (Rev 1:4; 11:17) Then I heard the angel of the waters saying:

"You are righteous, O Lord,

who is and was and who is to be,

because You have judged these things.

6 (Isa 49:26; Rev 18:24) For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets,

and You have given them blood to drink. It is what they deserve!"

7 (Rev 6:9; 19:2) And I heard another from the altar saying:

"Yes, Lord God Almighty,

true and righteous are Your judgments."

8 (Rev 14:18; 6:12) The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun,

and power was given to him to scorch men with fire.

(Say goodbye to the Val Ellen belts)

9 (Rev 2:21; 11:13) Men were scorched with great heat, and they blasphemed

the name of God who has power over these plagues, and they did not repent

and give Him glory.

10 (Rev 9:2) The fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast,

and his kingdom was filled with darkness. They gnawed their tongues

because of the anguish,

11 (Rev 16:9; 16:2; 16:21) and blasphemed the God of heaven because of their

pains and their sores, and did not repent of their deeds.

12 (Rev 9:14; Isa 11:15) The sixth angel poured out his bowl

on the great Euphrates River, and its water was dried up,

to prepare the way for the kings from the East.

13 (Rev 19:20; 20:10) Then I saw three unclean spirits like frogs coming

out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast,

and out of the mouth of the false prophet.

14 (1Ti 4:1; Rev 17:14) For they are spirits of demons, performing signs,

who go out to the kings of the earth and of the whole world,

to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

15 (Rev 3:18; Mt 24:42-43) "Look, I am coming as a thief. Blessed is he who

watches and keeps his garments on,

lest he walk naked and his shame be exposed."

16 (Jdg 5:19; Zec 12:11) They gathered them together to the place which

in Hebrew is called Armageddon.

17 (Eph 2:2; Rev 21:6) The seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air,

and a loud voice came out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying,

"It is done!"

18 (Da 12:1; Rev 4:5) And there were noises and thundering and lightning

and a great earthquake, such a mighty and great earthquake, as had never

occurred since men were on the earth.

19 (Rev 18:5; 17:18) The great city was divided into three parts,

and the cities of the nations fell. Babylon the Great was remembered

before God, to give to her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath.

20 (Rev 6:14; 20:11) Every island fled away,

and the mountains were not found.

21 (Rev 11:19; 16:9) Great hail, about the weight of a hundred pounds,

(Or 45 kilograms.) fell from heaven upon man. Men blasphemed God

because of the plague of the hail, because that plague was so severe.



[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.

[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.

[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.



(Looks like nuclear fallout on a huge scale)



Revelation 17



The Great Harlot and the Beast



1 (Jer 51:13; Rev 19:2) One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls

came and talked with me, saying to me, "Come, I will show you the judgment

of the great prostitute who sits on many waters,

2 (Rev 14:8; 18:3) with whom the kings of the earth committed adultery,

and the inhabitants of the earth were made drunk with the wine

of her sexual immorality."

3 (Rev 12:3; 12:6; 12:14) Then he carried me away in the Spirit

into the wilderness. I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast which was full

of blasphemous names, having seven heads and ten horns.

4 (Jer 51:7; Rev 18:16) The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet,

and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand

a golden cup full of abominations and the filth of her sexual immorality.

5 (Rev 14:8; 2Th 2:7) On her forehead a name was written:

MYSTERY,

BABYLON THE GREAT,

THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES

AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

6 (Rev 16:6; 2:13) I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints

and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus.

When I saw her, I marveled greatly.

7 Then the angel said to me, "Why do you marvel? I will tell you the mystery

of the woman and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads

and the ten horns.

8 (Rev 11:7; 17:11) The beast, which you saw, was, and is not,

and is to ascend out of the bottomless pit and go to destruction.

Those who dwell on the earth whose names are not written

in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world will marvel

when they see the beast that was, and is not, and is to come.

9 (Rev 13:18; 17:3) "Here is the mind which has wisdom: The seven heads

are seven mountains on which the woman sits.

10 They are also seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, the other

has not yet come; and when he comes, he must remain a little while.

11 (Rev 17:8) Concerning the beast who was, and is not, he is the eighth,

and is of the seven, and is going to destruction.

12 (Da 7:24; Rev 12:3) "The ten horns which you saw are ten kings

who have received no kingdom yet, but they will receive authority

as kings for one hour with the beast.

13 (Rev 17:17) These are of one mind and will give their power

and authority to the beast.

14 (1Ti 6:15; Rev 16:14; 1:5) These will wage war with the Lamb,

but the Lamb will overcome them, for He is Lord of lords and King of kings.

Those who are with Him are called and chosen and faithful."

15 (Rev 17:1) Then he said to me, "The waters which you saw, where

the prostitute sits, are peoples and multitudes and nations and tongues.

16 (Rev 18:8; 18:16-17) These ten horns and the beast which you saw will

hate the prostitute; they will make her desolate and naked,

and devour her flesh, and burn her with fire.

17 (Rev 10:7; 17:13) For God has put in their hearts to fulfill His will,

and to be of one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast,

until the words of God are fulfilled.

18 (Rev 16:19) The woman whom you saw is that great city,

which reigns over the kings of the earth."





[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.

Revelation 18



The Fall of Babylon



1 (Eze 43:2; Rev 17:1) After this I saw another angel coming down from heaven,

having great authority, and the earth was illuminated with his glory.

2 (Rev 14:8; Jer 51:37) He cried out mightily with a loud voice, saying:

"'Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great!'(Isa 21:9.)

She has become a dwelling place of demons,

a haunt for every unclean spirit,

and a haunt for every unclean and hateful bird.

3 (Rev 14:8; 17:2) For all the nations have drunk

of the wine of the wrath of her sexual immorality,

the kings of the earth have committed adultery with her,

and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the

abundance of her luxury."

4 (2Co 6:17; Isa 48:20) Then I heard another voice from heaven saying:

"'Come out of her, my people,'(Jer 51:45.)

lest you partake in her sins,

and lest you receive her plagues.

5 (Jer 51:9; Rev 16:19) For her sins have reached up to heaven,

and God has remembered her iniquities.

6 (Ps 137:8; Jer 50:15) Render to her as she has rendered to you,

and repay her double for her deeds;

in the cup which she has mixed, mix a double portion for her.

7 (Zep 2:15) To the extent that she glorified herself and lived luxuriously,

so give her torment and sorrow;

for in her heart she says,

'I sit as a queen, and am no widow,

and will see no sorrow.'(Isa 47:7-8.)

8 (Jer 50:31; 50:34) 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.

9 (Rev 17:2; 18:3) "The kings of the earth, who have committed adultery

and lived luxuriously with her, will weep and mourn over her when they

see the smoke of her burning.

10 (Rev 18:19; 18:8; 14:8) Standing far off for the fear of her torment,

they will say:

'Alas, alas for that great city,

that mighty city, Babylon!

In one hour your judgment has come.'

11 (Rev 18:3; 18:15) "The merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her,

for no one buys their merchandise any more:

12 (Rev 17:4) the merchandise of gold, silver, precious stones and pearls,

fine linen, purple, silk and scarlet, all kinds of scented wood,

all artifacts of ivory, all merchandise of costly wood, bronze, iron,

and marble;

13 (Eze 27:13; 1Ti 1:10) and cinnamon and incense, myrrh and frankincense,

wine, oil, fine flour and wheat, cattle and sheep, horses and chariots,

and slaves and souls of men.

14 'The fruit that your soul lusted after

has departed from you,

and all the things which graceful and exquisite

have departed from you,

and you shall never find them.'

15 (Rev 18:3; Eze 27:31) "The merchants of these things, who gained wealth

by her, will stand far off for fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,

16 (Rev 17:4) and saying:

'Alas, alas, that great city,

that was arrayed in fine linen, in purple and scarlet,

and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls!

17 (Rev 17:16) In one hour such great riches came to nothing!'

"All sea captains and seafaring men, sailors and all who trade by sea,

stood far off,

18 (Rev 13:4; 18:9-10) and cried out when they saw the smoke of her burning,

saying, 'What city is like this great city?'

19 (Jos 7:6; Rev 18:10) They threw dust on their heads and cried out,

weeping and wailing, and saying:

'Alas, alas, that great city,

in which all who had ships in the sea

grew rich from her wealth!

In one hour she has been laid waste!'

20 (Lk 11:49-50; Rev 6:10) "Rejoice over her, O heaven

and saints and apostles and prophets,

for God has avenged you against her."

21 (Jer 51:63-64; Eze 26:21) Then a mighty angel took up a stone like

a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying:

"With such violence

shall that great city Babylon be thrown down,

and shall be found no more.

22 (Jer 25:10; Eze 26:13) The sound of harpists and musicians, flute players

and trumpeters,

shall not be heard in you any more.

No craftsman of any craft

shall be found in you any more,

and the sound of a millstone

shall not be heard in you any more.

23 (Isa 23:8; Na 3:4) The light of a lamp

shall shine in you no more,

and the voice of bridegroom and of bride

shall be heard in you no more.

For your merchants were the great men of the earth,

and all nations were deceived by your sorcery.

24 (Rev 17:6; Jer 51:49) In her was found the blood of prophets and of saints

and of all who were slain on the earth."



[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.

[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.

[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.

1 Corinthians 12:12-20



One Body With Many Members



12 (1Co 12:27; 10:17) For as the body is one and has many parts,

and all the many parts of that one body are one body, so also is Christ.

13 (Jn 7:37-39; Gal 3:28) For by one Spirit we are all baptised

into one body, whether we are Jews or Gentiles, whether we are slaves

or free, and we have all been made to drink of one Spirit.

14 The body is not one part, but many.

15 If the foot says, "Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body,"

is it therefore not of the body?

16 And if the ear says, "Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body,"

is it therefore not of the body?

17 If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be?

If the whole body were hearing, where would the sense of smell be?

18 (1Co 12:11; 12:28) But now God has established the parts,

every one of them, in the body as it has pleased Him.

19 If they were all one part, where would the body be?

20 So there are many parts, yet one body.



[12] For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of

that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.

[13] For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews

or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink

into one Spirit.

[14] For the body is not one member, but many.

[15] If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body;

is it therefore not of the body?

[16] And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the

body; is it therefore not of the body?

[17] If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole

were hearing, where were the smelling?

[18] But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it

hath pleased him.

[19] And if they were all one member, where were the body?

[20] But now are they many members, yet but one body.



When my friend Maritza took a job that required traveling to many different

cities by herself, she often felt lonely. But over dinner one night, she

leaned in and told me, "Jen, I prayed and asked God to send me His people."

She went on to say it wasn't long before she'd begun to meet other believers

in Jesus on a regular basis. Once, she met three in one day!



When we encounter others who have faith in Jesus, we share a spiritual

connection. In a hard-to-explain way, this lights a spark within us.

We have the most important thing in common because we believe what the Bible

says about Christ and how it's possible to have a relationship with God

through Him (Romans 10:9).



Most importantly, the Spirit of God lives in each believer, knitting

us together so powerfully that the Bible compares us to the interconnected

parts of the human body. First Corinthians 12:13 says, "We were all baptised

by one Spirit so as to form one body" - the body of Christ.



God often works in our lives through others who love Him, whether they're

near or far, known or new acquaintances. In our loneliest times, we can

ask Him to send His people - even as we offer ourselves to be used

by Him to encourage others.



Reflect & Pray



Where do you turn when you feel lonely?

How has God worked through other believers in your life?



Dear heavenly Father, thank You for including me in Your

family. Please use me to encourage my brothers and sisters in Christ today.

Revelation 14



The Lamb and the 144000



1 (Rev 3:12; Ps 2:6) Then I looked. The Lamb was standing on Mount Zion

and with Him one hundred and forty-four thousand having His Father's name

written on their foreheads.

2 (Rev 1:15; 5:8) And I heard a sound from heaven, like the sound of many

waters and like the sound of a great thunder. I heard the sound of harpists

playing their harps.

3 (Rev 5:9; 2:17; 14:1) They sang a new song before the throne

and before the four living creatures and the elders. No one could learn

that song except the one hundred and forty-four thousand who were redeemed

from the earth.

4 (Rev 3:4; 2Co 11:2; Jas 1:18) These are those who were not defiled

with women, for they are virgins. These are those who follow the Lamb

wherever He goes. These were redeemed from among men, as first fruits

to God and to the Lamb.

5 (Ps 32:2; Zep 3:13) No lie was found in their mouths, for they are

without fault before the throne of God.



[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 Messages of the Three Angels



6 (Rev 8:13; 3:10) Then I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven,

having the eternal gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth,

to every nation and tribe and tongue and people.

7 (Rev 15:4; 4:11; 11:18) He said with a loud voice, "Fear God and give

Him glory, for the hour of His judgment has come. Worship Him who made

heaven and earth, the sea and the springs of water."

8 (Isa 21:9; Jer 51:7-8) Another angel followed, saying, "'Fallen! Fallen

is Babylon, that Great City,'(Isa 21:9.) because she made all the nations

drink of the wine of the wrath of her sexual immorality."

9 (Rev 14:11) A third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice,

"If anyone worships the beast and his image and receives his mark

on his forehead or on his hand,

10 (Isa 51:17; Rev 18:6; Ps 11:6) he also shall drink of the wine

of the wrath of God, which is poured out in full strength

into the cup of His anger. He shall be tormented with fire

and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels

and in the presence of the Lamb.

11 (Isa 34:10; Rev 19:3) The smoke of their torment will ascend forever

and ever. They have no rest day or night, who worship the beast

and his image and whoever receives the mark of his name."

12 (Rev 12:17; 13:10) Here is the patience of the saints; here are those

who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.

13 (1Co 15:18; 1Th 4:16) Then I heard a voice from heaven saying to me,

"Write: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on."

"Yes," says the Spirit, "that they may rest from their labors,

for their works follow them."



[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.

[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.

[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.



The Harvest of the Earth



14 (Rev 1:13; 6:2) I looked. And there was a white cloud, and on the cloud

sat One like a Son of Man, having on his head a golden crown, and in His hand

a sharp sickle.

15 (Jer 51:33; Joel 3:13) Then another angel came out of the temple,

crying with a loud voice to Him who sat on the cloud,

"Thrust in Your sickle and reap. The time has come for You to reap,

for the harvest of the earth is ripe."

16 So He who sat on the cloud thrust His sickle on the earth,

and the earth was harvested.

17 Another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven.

He also had a sharp sickle.

18 (Joel 3:13; Rev 16:8) Yet another angel who had authority over fire

came out from the altar. He cried with a loud voice to him who had

the sharp sickle, saying, "Thrust in your sharp sickle

and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, for her grapes

are fully ripe."

19 The angel thrust his sickle into the earth and gathered the vintage

of the earth, and threw it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.

20 (La 1:15; Rev 11:8) The winepress was trampled outside the city,

and blood came out of the winepress, up to the horses' bridles,

for one hundred and eighty-six miles.

(Gk. 1,600 stadia or 300 kilometers.)



[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.



Revelation 15



The Angels With the Last Plagues



1 (Rev 21:9; 15:6-7) I saw another great and marvelous sign in heaven:

seven angels having the seven last plagues, for in them the wrath of God

is complete.

2 (Rev 4:6; 5:8; 12:11) And I saw what looked like a sea of glass mixed

with fire, and those who have the victory over the beast, over his image

and over his mark and over the number of his name, standing on the sea

of glass, having harps of God.

3 (Ps 111:2; 139:14) They sang the song of Moses, the servant of God,

and the song of the Lamb, saying:

"Great and marvelous are Your works,

Lord God Almighty!

Just and true are Your ways,

O King of saints!

4 (Ps 86:9; Jer 10:7) Who shall not fear You, O Lord,

and glorify Your name?

For You alone are holy.

All nations shall come

and worship before You,

for Your judgments have been revealed."(Isa 25:8.)

5 (Nu 1:50; Rev 11:19) After this I looked. And now

the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened.

6 (Rev 1:13; 15:1) The seven angels came out of the temple

with the seven plagues. They were clothed in pure, bright linen,

having their chests wrapped with golden sashes.

7 (Rev 5:8) Then one of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels

seven golden bowls full of the wrath of God, who lives forever and ever.

8 (Isa 6:4; 1Ki 8:10-11) And the temple was filled with smoke

from the glory of God and from His power. No one was able to enter

the temple until the seven plagues of the seven angels were completed.



[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.

Advent Day 27



FRIDAY, FOURTH WEEK OF ADVENT



Early Offering



to be taxed with Mary, his betrothed wife, who was with child.



-Luke 2:5



Luke mentions that Mary was "great with child" (KJV) so candidly

that we don't pause to ponder how difficult it



must have been for her to travel all the way (about 70 miles!)

from Nazareth in Galilee to Bethlehem in Judea. Even more significant,

the Christ Child she carried must have been jostled

and jarred by the movement, Loo.





Those of us who use statements of faith in our worship services declare



in the Apostles' Creed that Jesus

"suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified ... " I believe instead

we should say, "suffered, under Pontius Pilate was crucified"

to be more accurate to the original. Jesus suffered all his life,

not just under Pilate. When we reflect on the appalling journey that

he endured in the womb, we might imagine that his sufferings on our

behalf began even before he was born. What amazing love that Christ

sustained such adversity for us!



prayer



Jesus Christ, your afflictions for us were more than we can

conceive. How can we ever thank you appropriately? Amen.



Read Luke 2:1-7.



1 (Lk 3:1; Mt 24:14) In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus

that the entire inhabited earth should be taxed.

2 (Lk 3:1) This taxation was first made when Quirinius was governor of Syria.

3 And everyone went to his own city to be taxed.

4 (Jn 7:42; 1Sa 16:1) So Joseph also departed from the city of Nazareth

in Galilee to the City of David which is called Bethlehem, in Judea,

because he was of the house and lineage of David,

5 to be taxed with Mary, his betrothed wife, who was with child.

6 So while they were there, the day came for her to give birth.

7 (Mt 1:25; Lk 2:11-12) And she gave birth to her firstborn Son,

and wrapped Him in strips of cloth, and laid Him in a manger,

because there was no room for them in the inn.



From On Eagle's wings



Love Is Not Insignificant



Luke 21:1-4



The Widow's Offering

Mk 12:41-44

1 (Mk 12:41-44; Jn 8:20) He looked up and saw the rich putting

their gifts in the treasury.

2 (Mk 12:42) He also saw a poor widow putting in two mites,

(Gk. 2 lepta. A lepton, meaning "small" or "thin," is a fraction

of a penny and about 1/128 of a denarius, which was a day's wage.

A Jewish bronze or copper coin, it was the smallest coin circulated.)

32 (Co 8:12) and He said, "Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put

in more than all of them.

4 (Lk 8:43) For all these out of their abundance have put in their gifts

for God. But she out of her poverty has put in all the living she had."



[1] And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the

treasury.

[2] And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites.

[3] And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast

in more than they all:

[4] For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God:

but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had.



The story of the Widow's Mite has lots of messages. The one that hits

me right now is that something may look insignificant, but is actually

very big.

In the summer of 2016, tens of thousands of people had been

evacuated from Fort McMurray because of one of the biggest

wildfires in Canadian history. Now they were trickling back. In some

places, there’d been total devastation. In others there was no damage

at all.

I'd been contacted to go and "help out". I arrived and was picked up

by the priest of one of the local churches. It turned out I was to help

with a Bible Camp - something I'd never done before. Fortunately, I

was teamed with two others who knew exactly what they were doing!

I spent a week playing with kids. Honestly, I'd been expecting to do

something "more demanding." And that's where I was wrong. Playing

productively with kids is very demanding, and by "productive" I mean

telling them the story of Jesus.

The whole camp was bathed in an atmosphere of love; the volunteers

worked together in love, loved the kids, and the kids loved the

volunteers. Something little - "insignificant" - became something very

big and very good.

Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools



Week 7 Promises of Grace - Day 1 Hard Bargain



Mark 11:24



24 Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray,

believe that you will receive them, and you will have them.



24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray,

believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.



"I've been praying." Jennifer declared confidently. " I told God I'd give him

a tithe of that $5000000 when I win the sweepstakes."

Her friend Cindi laughed. "Well, then, you don't have a chance. I told him

I'd give him half!"

Can we, as in Mark 11:24 seems to imply , pray for anything, absolutely

anything, and expect that the Lord will come through? Can we pray with

assurance for new cars, mink coats, or trips to the Caribbean? The verse

seems to be a troublesome one, especially when we try it and our prayers

aren't answered in the way we expected.

But seen in context, Mark 11:24 gives us a much broader picture of the

kind of prayer Jesus meant. The verse appears in the framework of

Jesus' ministry - cleansing the temple, correcting the Pharisees,

commanding forgiveness, discussing his authority. The condition for

the fulfillment of Mark 11:24, if Jesus' actions are any indication,

is fulfilling the will and purpose of God.

Such a condition for powerful prayers involves much more than attaching

am "If it be Thy will" clause onto the end of our prayers. We need to know

God's will and walk in it, seeking his kingdom first, and drawing close to

him. Then , as our hearts are right with him, what we ask in prayer

is likely to be congruent with the mind and purposes of Christ. We are

less likely to pray selfishly, and more likely to share God's priorities,

as we get to know him. And as we deepen in our knowledge of him,

as his will becomes our will, his promise for answered prayer takes

on new dimensions.

The Lord's prayer



Matthew 6:9-13



9 "Therefore pray in this manner:

Our Father who is in heaven,

hallowed be Your name.

10 (Mt 3:2; 4:17) Your kingdom come;

Your will be done

on earth, as it is in heaven.

11 (Pr 30:8; Isa 33:16) Give us this day our daily bread.

12 (Ex 34:7; Ps 32:1) And forgive us our debts,

as we forgive our debtors.

13 (1Co 10:13; Jn 17:15) And lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.

For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."



9 After this manner therefore pray ye:

Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

11 Give us this day our daily bread.

12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

they now meet for prayer service in a former office space.



Pray for Muslims and believers in Whitehorse to come together,

and for Muslims to find faith in Jesus Christ.



Northwest Territories (NWT)



NWT population (2015) 43600 Muslim (est) 473



The Muslim community of Yellowknife has grown from 275 to 330 un the past year.

To replace their inadequate facility, they are planning a C$2 to C$2.5 million

Islamic Centre.



Pray that the Muslims in Yellowknife and all of the NWT will awaken to

spiritual hunger and be open to saving faith in Jesus Christ.



Nunavut (NU)



NU total population (2015) 36600 Muslim (est) 86



The Islamic Centre of Iqaluit now claim about 100 Muslims and have surpassed

80 % of their funding goal to building the first mosque in this territory.

Their stated goal is "To spread the message of Islam

in the far northern reaches of Canada."



Pray that believers in Iqaluit take up Jesus' command to love and reach

their Muslim neighbours with the Gospel.



Adding further



30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020



Under the Keep Praying page



When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month

and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days

of fasting, the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that

usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and,

of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be

decorated and festivals will be held.

For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the

distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of

Islam.

You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",

which means Blessed Eid!"

Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you

know, and Muslims around the world:

- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions

in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about

unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such

movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three

decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim

relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.



Acts 2:12-17 : 17 12 They were all amazed and perplexed, saying to each other,

"What does this mean?"

13 (1Co 14:23) Others mocking said, "These men are full of new wine."



Peter's Speech at Pentecost



14 (Ac 1:26) But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice

and said to them, "Men of Judea and all you who dwell in Jerusalem,

let this be known to you, and listen to my words.

15 For these are not drunk, as you suppose,

since it is the third hour of the day.

16 But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:

17 (Isa 44:3; Ac 10:45) 'In the last days it shall be,' says God,

'that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;

your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,

your young men shall see visions,

and your old men shall dream dreams.'



- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective

discipleship movements among Muslim people.



- Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for

Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus.



Matthew 5:14-15 : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a

hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under

a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the

house."



Ideas for prayer



- Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you

- Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving

Christ among Muslim people -



Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."

- When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims

throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days!



My paternal side is of Muslim heritage and will offer this section to further

call for Muslim converts to Christian and any other converts to Christianity

Advent Day 27



FRIDAY, FOURTH WEEK OF ADVENT



Early Offering



to be taxed with Mary, his betrothed wife, who was with child.



-Luke 2:5



Luke mentions that Mary was "great with child" (KJV) so candidly

that we don't pause to ponder how difficult it



must have been for her to travel all the way (about 70 miles!)

from Nazareth in Galilee to Bethlehem in Judea. Even more significant,

the Christ Child she carried must have been jostled

and jarred by the movement, Loo.





Those of us who use statements of faith in our worship services declare



in the Apostles' Creed that Jesus

"suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified ... " I believe instead

we should say, "suffered, under Pontius Pilate was crucified"

to be more accurate to the original. Jesus suffered all his life,

not just under Pilate. When we reflect on the appalling journey that

he endured in the womb, we might imagine that his sufferings on our

behalf began even before he was born. What amazing love that Christ

sustained such adversity for us!



prayer



Jesus Christ, your afflictions for us were more than we can

conceive. How can we ever thank you appropriately? Amen.



Read Luke 2:1-7.



1 (Lk 3:1; Mt 24:14) In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus

that the entire inhabited earth should be taxed.

2 (Lk 3:1) This taxation was first made when Quirinius was governor of Syria.

3 And everyone went to his own city to be taxed.

4 (Jn 7:42; 1Sa 16:1) So Joseph also departed from the city of Nazareth

in Galilee to the City of David which is called Bethlehem, in Judea,

because he was of the house and lineage of David,

5 to be taxed with Mary, his betrothed wife, who was with child.

6 So while they were there, the day came for her to give birth.

7 (Mt 1:25; Lk 2:11-12) And she gave birth to her firstborn Son,

and wrapped Him in strips of cloth, and laid Him in a manger,

because there was no room for them in the inn.

Love Is Not Insignificant



Luke 21:1-4



The Widow's Offering

Mk 12:41-44

1 (Mk 12:41-44; Jn 8:20) He looked up and saw the rich putting

their gifts in the treasury.

2 (Mk 12:42) He also saw a poor widow putting in two mites,

(Gk. 2 lepta. A lepton, meaning "small" or "thin," is a fraction

of a penny and about 1/128 of a denarius, which was a day's wage.

A Jewish bronze or copper coin, it was the smallest coin circulated.)

32 (Co 8:12) and He said, "Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put

in more than all of them.

4 (Lk 8:43) For all these out of their abundance have put in their gifts

for God. But she out of her poverty has put in all the living she had."



[1] And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the

treasury.

[2] And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites.

[3] And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast

in more than they all:

[4] For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God:

but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had.



The story of the Widow's Mite has lots of messages. The one that hits

me right now is that something may look insignificant, but is actually

very big.

In the summer of 2016, tens of thousands of people had been

evacuated from Fort McMurray because of one of the biggest

wildfires in Canadian history. Now they were trickling back. In some

places, there’d been total devastation. In others there was no damage

at all.

I'd been contacted to go and "help out". I arrived and was picked up

by the priest of one of the local churches. It turned out I was to help

with a Bible Camp - something I'd never done before. Fortunately, I

was teamed with two others who knew exactly what they were doing!

I spent a week playing with kids. Honestly, I'd been expecting to do

something "more demanding." And that's where I was wrong. Playing

productively with kids is very demanding, and by "productive" I mean

telling them the story of Jesus.

The whole camp was bathed in an atmosphere of love; the volunteers

worked together in love, loved the kids, and the kids loved the

volunteers. Something little - "insignificant" - became something very

big and very good.

Day 355 of My 5th Bible Study Journey - 21 December 2025 reflections Part 4

Revelation 11



The Two Witnesses



1 (Rev 21:15; Eze 42:15-20) I was given a reed like a measuring rod.

The angel stood, saying, "Rise and measure the temple of God and the altar,

and those who worship in it.

2 (Lk 21:24; Rev 12:6; Da 7:25) But exclude the court which is outside

the temple, and do not measure it, for it has been given to the nations.

They will trample on the Holy City for 42 months.

3 (Ge 37:34; Rev 11:2) And I will give power to my two witnesses,

and they will prophesy for 1260 days, clothed in sackcloth."

4 (Ps 52:8; Jer 11:16) These are the two olive trees

and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth. (Jer 51:45.)

5 (Jer 5:14; 2Ki 1:10-12) If anyone desires to harm them, fire proceeds

out of their mouth and devours their enemies. If anyone desires to harm them,

he must be killed in this way.

6 (1Ki 17:1; Lk 4:25) They have power to shut heaven, that it may not rain

during the days of their prophecy. They have power over waters to turn them

into blood and to strike the earth with every plague as often as they desire.

7 (Rev 13:7; Da 7:25) When they have finished their testimony, the beast

that ascends from the bottomless pit will wage war against them

and overcome them and kill them.

8 (Jer 23:14; Heb 13:12) Their dead bodies will lie in the street

of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt,

where also our Lord was crucified.

9 (Ps 79:2-3; Rev 10:11) Those from every people and tribe and tongue

and nation will see their dead bodies for three and a half days,

and will not allow their dead bodies to be put in graves.

10 (Rev 3:10; 1Ki 18:17) Those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over

them and make merry and send gifts to one another,

because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth.

11 (Ge 2:7) After the three and a half days, the breath

(Eze 37:5-14.) of life from God entered them, and they stood on their feet,

and great fear fell on those who saw them.

12 (Ac 1:9; 2Ki 2:11; Rev 4:1) Then they heard a loud voice from heaven

saying to them, "Come up here!" And they ascended to heaven in a cloud,

while their enemies watched them.

13 (Rev 6:12; 14:7) At that same hour there was a great earthquake,

and a tenth of the city fell. Seven thousand men were killed

in the earthquake, and the remnant were frightened and gave glory

to the God of heaven.

14 (Rev 8:13; 9:12) The second woe is past.

Listen, the third woe is coming quickly.



[1] And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood,

saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that

worship therein.

[2] But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not;

for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under

foot forty and two months.

[3] And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a

thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.

[4] These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before

the God of the earth.

[5] And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and

devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this

manner be killed.

[6] These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their

prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the

earth with all plagues, as often as they will.

[7] And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that

ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall

overcome them, and kill them.

[8] And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which

spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.

[9] And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see

their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead

bodies to be put in graves.

[10] And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make

merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets

tormented them that dwelt on the earth.

[11] And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered

into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them

which saw them.

[12] And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up

hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld

them.

[13] And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of

the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and

the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.

[14] The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.



The Seventh Trumpet



15 (Rev 12:10; Da 7:14; 7:27) The seventh angel sounded,

and there were loud voices in heaven, saying:

"The kingdoms of the world have become

the kingdoms of our Lord, and of His Christ,

and He shall reign forever and ever.”

16 (Rev 4:4; 4:10) And the twenty-four elders, who sat before God on

their thrones, fell on their faces and worshipped God,

17 (Rev 1:8; 19:6; 1:4) saying:

"We give You thanks, O Lord God Almighty,

who is and was and who is to come,

because You have taken Your great power

and begun to reign.

18 (Rev 19:5; 20:12) The nations were angry,

and Your wrath has come,

and the time has come for the dead to be judged,

and to reward Your servants the prophets

and the saints and those who fear Your name,

small and great,

and to destroy those who destroy the earth."

19 (Rev 16:21; 4:5) Then the temple of God was opened in heaven,

and the ark of His covenant was seen in His temple.

And there came lightning, noises, thundering, an earthquake, and great hail.



[15] And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven,

saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and

of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.

[16] And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats,

fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,

[17] Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast,

and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast

reigned.

[18] And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the

dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto

thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name,

small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.

[19] And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his

temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and

thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.



2) Our Daily Bread for 21 December 2025 titled

Bringing Good News by nancy Gavilanes



Isaiah 52:4-10



4 (Ge 46:6) For thus says the Lord God:

My people went down at the first into Egypt to sojourn there;

then the Assyrian oppressed them without cause.

5 (Ro 2:24) Now therefore, what do I have here, says the Lord,

seeing that My people have been taken away for nothing?

Those who rule over them make them wail,

says the Lord,

and My name is continually blasphemed

all day long.

6 Therefore, My people shall know My name;

therefore, they shall know in that day

that I am He who does speak:

Here I am.

7 (Isa 40:9; Na 1:15; Ps 93:1) How beautiful upon the mountains

are the feet of him who brings good news,

who proclaims peace,

who brings good news of happiness,

who proclaims salvation,

who says to Zion,

"Your God reigns!"

8 (Isa 62:6; 1Co 13:12) Your watchmen lift up their voices;

they sing joyfully together;

for they shall see with their own eyes

when the Lord brings Zion back.

9 (Isa 51:3; 48:20) Break forth into joy, sing together,

you waste places of Jerusalem.

For the Lord has comforted His people;

He has redeemed Jerusalem.

10 (Isa 51:9; Lk 3:6) The Lord has bared His holy arm

in the eyes of all the nations,

and all the ends of the earth shall see

the salvation of our God.



[4] For thus saith the Lord GOD, My people went down aforetime into

Egypt to sojourn there; and the Assyrian oppressed them without cause.

[5] Now therefore, what have I here, saith the LORD, that my people is taken

away for nought? they that rule over them make them to howl, saith the LORD;

and my name continually every day is blasphemed.

[6] Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore they shall know in

that day that I am he that doth speak: behold, it is I.

[7] How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good

tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that

publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!

[8] Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they

sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the LORD shall bring again Zion.

[9] Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem: for

the LORD hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem.

[10] The LORD hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations;

and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.



The man was harvesting onions when we prayerfully approached him during the

home visits we were conducting on our mission trip in Ecuador. In broken

Spanish, I told him my friends and I would like to briefly speak to him about

the Bible. He paused to listen as we shared our testimonies with him. Then one

of my teammates started reading Scripture aloud in English. What a sacred

moment it was for all to hear the good news read on the side of the Andes

mountains as the man read along in Spanish with the booklet we had given him!

We talked with him and his family who'd been working off in the distance,

prayed for them, and continued to the next house.



As we walked along the mountainside reading Scripture and talking to people

about Christ, I thought of Jesus and His disciples walking along the hills

and valleys of Israel during His earthly ministry.



Isaiah 52:7 says, "How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who

bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim

salvation." The prophet was referring to the time when God's people would

return to their homeland after years in exile, but it still applies to us

today whenever we share the good news of Jesus with others.



Our opportunities may not be in the spectacular Andes, but wherever God has

placed us, the Holy Spirit can help us share the message of salvation with

those He puts in our path.



Reflect & Pray



Who shared the gospel with you? Who can you share your faith with?



Dear God, please give me courage to tell others about Jesus.



Learn why spiritual

conversations are important, even when talking about Jesus feels weird.

Day 355 of My 5th Bible Study Journey - 21 December 2025 reflections Part 3

Revelation 9



1 (Rev 8:10; Lk 8:31; Rev 1:18) The fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star

fallen from heaven to the earth. The star was given the key to the bottomless

pit.

2 (Ge 19:28; Joel 2:10) He opened the bottomless pit, and smoke ascended

from the pit, like the smoke of a great furnace. The sun and the air

were darkened by the smoke from the pit.

3 (Eze 2:6; Rev 9:5) And out of the smoke locusts came upon the earth.

Power was given them as the scorpions of the earth have power.

4 (Rev 6:6; 8:7) They were commanded not to harm the grass of the earth,

or any green thing, or any tree, but only those men who did not have

the seal of God on their foreheads.

5 (Rev 9:10; 9:3) They were given authority, not to kill them,

but to torment them for five months. Their torment was like

the torment of a scorpion when it stings a man.

6 (Jer 8:3; Rev 6:16) In those days men will seek death but will not find it.

They will desire to die, but death will elude them.

7 (Da 7:8; Na 3:17) The shape of the locusts was like horses prepared

for battle. On their heads were something like crowns of gold,

and their faces were like faces of men.

8 (Joel 1:6) They had hair like the hair of women,

and their teeth were like the teeth of lions.

9 (Job 39:25) They had breastplates like breastplates of iron,

and the sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots

with many horses running to battle.

10 (Rev 9:5; 9:3) They had tails like scorpions and stings in their tails.

Their power was to hurt men for five months.

11 (Eph 2:2) They had as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit,

whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek his name is Apollyon.

(Or Destroyer.)

12 (Rev 11:14) The first woe is past. Now, two more woes are yet to come.

13 The sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns

of the golden altar which is before God,

14 (Rev 16:12) saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet,

"Release the four angels who are bound at the great Euphrates River."

15 (Rev 8:7; 9:18) And the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour

and day and month and year, were released to kill a third of mankind.

16 (Rev 7:4; Ps 68:17) The army of horsemen numbered two hundred million.

I heard their number. (Currently The People's Army of the Republic of China

has such a great number)

17 (Rev 9:18; 14:10) Thus I saw the horses in the vision: Those who sat

on them had breastplates of fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow.

The heads of the horses were like the heads of lions, and out of their

mouths came fire and smoke and brimstone.

18 (Rev 9:15; 9:17) A third of mankind was killed by these three plagues-by

the fire and by the smoke and by the brimstone,

which came out of their mouths.

19 The power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails.

For their tails are like serpents, with heads by which they inflict injury.

20 (Da 5:23; Dt 31:29) The rest of mankind, who were not killed by these

plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands. They did not cease

to worship demons, and idols of gold, silver, brass, stone, and wood,

which cannot see nor hear nor walk.

21 (Rev 17:2; 17:5) Nor did they repent of their murders or their

magical arts or their sexual immorality or their thefts.



[1] And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the

earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.

[2] And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the

pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened

by reason of the smoke of the pit.

[3] And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them

was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.

[4] And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the

earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which

have not the seal of God in their foreheads.

[5] And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they

should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a

scorpion, when he striketh a man.

[6] And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall

desire to die, and death shall flee from them.

[7] And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto

battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces

were as the faces of men.

[8] And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the

teeth of lions.

[9] And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the

sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to

battle.

[10] And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their

tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.

[11] And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless

pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue

hath his name Apollyon.

[12] One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter.

[13] And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of

the golden altar which is before God,

[14] Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels

which are bound in the great river Euphrates.

[15] And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a

day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.

[16] And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand

thousand: and I heard the number of them.

[17] And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them,

having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of

the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire

and smoke and brimstone.

[18] By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by

the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.

[19] For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails

were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt.

[20] And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet

repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship

devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood:

which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:

[21] Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of

their fornication, nor of their thefts.



Revelation 10



The Angel and the Little Scroll



1 (Mt 17:2; Rev 1:15-16) Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from

heaven, clothed with a cloud and a rainbow on his head. His face was

like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire.

2 (Rev 10:5) He had a little scroll open in his hand. He set his right foot

on the sea and his left foot on the land,

3 (Isa 31:4; Joel 3:16) and cried out with a loud voice, like a lion roaring.

When he cried out, seven thunders sounded their voices.

4 (Da 8:26; 12:4) And when the seven thunders sounded their voices,

I was about to write, but I heard a voice from heaven saying to me,

"Seal up those things which the seven thunders said, and do not write them."

5 (Da 12:7; Ge 14:22; Dt 32:40) The angel whom I saw standing on the sea

and on the earth lifted up his hand to heaven

6 (Rev 4:11) and swore by Him who lives forever and ever,

who created heaven and the things that are in them, and the earth

and the things that are in it, and the sea and the things that are

in it, that there should be no more delay.

7 (Ro 16:25) But in the days when the seventh angel is about to sound,

the mystery of God will be fulfilled, as He has declared to His servants

the prophets.

8 Then the voice which I heard from heaven spoke to me again and said,

"Go, take the little scroll which is open in the hand of the angel

who is standing on the sea and on the earth."

9 (Jer 15:16; Eze 2:8) So I went to the angel and said to him,

"Give me the little scroll." He said to me, "Take it and eat it.

'It will turn your stomach sour,

but in your mouth it will be as sweet as honey.'(Eze 3:3.)"

10 I took the little scroll from the angel's hand and ate it.

It was as sweet as honey in my mouth, but when I had eaten it,

my stomach turned sour.

11 (Eze 37:4) Then he said to me, "You must prophesy again about many peoples

and nations and tongues and kings."



[1] And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a

cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun,

and his feet as pillars of fire:

[2] And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot

upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth,

[3] And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had

cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.

[4] And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to

write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things

which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.

[5] And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted

up his hand to heaven,

[6] And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and

the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are,

and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no

longer:

[7] But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin

to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his

servants the prophets.

[8] And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said,

Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which

standeth upon the sea and upon the earth.

[9] And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book.

And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly

bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.

[10] And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and

it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly

was bitter.

[11] And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and

nations, and tongues, and kings.
