Hello, and welcome
back to His Words Are Life.
00:00:17.37\00:00:19.90
I'm Kelly Mowrer, and
before we begin to read,
00:00:19.93\00:00:22.82
let's pray together.
00:00:22.85\00:00:23.82
Dear Jesus, thank You
for this book of Revelation.
00:00:23.83\00:00:27.96
We'll read some things in here
that we won't understand unless
00:00:27.99\00:00:32.18
Your Holy Spirit
is guiding our minds.
00:00:32.21\00:00:34.22
Please send that Spirit of truth
to guide us into all truth.
00:00:34.25\00:00:38.84
We know that Your word is truth,
and we want to take Your word
00:00:38.87\00:00:42.34
into our very being
as the bread of life.
00:00:42.37\00:00:44.28
Thank You for loving us.
00:00:44.31\00:00:46.00
We love You so much.
00:00:46.03\00:00:47.25
Amen.
00:00:47.28\00:00:48.25
When we were last together
we were reading in Revelation
00:00:48.26\00:00:51.36
the letters to the churches.
00:00:51.39\00:00:53.49
One that really struck me
was the letter to Ephesus.
00:00:53.52\00:00:56.42
All the good works that God
wrote that He saw that they were
00:00:56.45\00:00:59.94
doing for Him, and yet He
said to them, you've lost your
00:00:59.97\00:01:02.33
first love, return
to Me, your first love.
00:01:02.36\00:01:05.53
That's what we need to all of
us, I'm sure, remember and keep
00:01:05.56\00:01:09.24
in our minds the need to
not lose our first love of God.
00:01:09.27\00:01:12.95
The way to do that is to
be in His word more and more.
00:01:12.98\00:01:16.54
Let's continue now
Revelation 2, and verse 18.
00:01:16.57\00:01:20.21
And unto the angel of the church
in Thyatira write; These things
00:01:20.24\00:01:25.36
saith the Son of God, who hath
his eyes like unto a flame of
00:01:25.39\00:01:28.90
fire, and his feet are like
fine brass; I know thy works,
00:01:28.93\00:01:33.22
and charity, and service,
and faith, and thy patience,
00:01:33.25\00:01:37.38
and thy works; and the
last to be more than the first.
00:01:37.41\00:01:41.29
Notwithstanding I have
a few things against thee,
00:01:41.32\00:01:45.32
because thou sufferest that
woman Jezebel, which calleth
00:01:45.35\00:01:50.41
herself a prophetess, to
teach and to seduce my servants
00:01:50.44\00:01:54.21
to commit fornication,
and to eat things sacrificed
00:01:54.24\00:01:57.28
unto idols.
00:01:57.31\00:01:58.40
And I gave her space to
repent of her fornication;
00:01:58.43\00:02:02.37
and she repented not.
00:02:02.40\00:02:03.61
Behold, I will cast her
into a bed, and them that commit
00:02:03.64\00:02:07.81
adultery with her into great
tribulation, except they repent
00:02:07.84\00:02:12.77
of their deeds.
00:02:12.80\00:02:13.85
And I will kill her children
with death; and all the churches
00:02:13.88\00:02:16.76
shall know that I am he which
searcheth the reins and hearts:
00:02:16.79\00:02:21.45
and I will give unto every one
of you according to your works.
00:02:21.48\00:02:25.41
But unto you I say, and unto
the rest in Thyatira, as many as
00:02:25.44\00:02:30.02
have not this doctrine, and
which have not known the depths
00:02:30.05\00:02:33.22
of Satan, as they speak; I will
put upon you none other burden.
00:02:33.25\00:02:37.51
But that which ye have
already hold fast till I come.
00:02:37.54\00:02:41.71
And he that overcometh, and
keepeth my works unto the end,
00:02:41.74\00:02:45.47
to him will I give power over
the nations: and he shall rule
00:02:45.50\00:02:50.46
them with a rod of iron; as the
vessels of a potter shall they
00:02:50.49\00:02:53.82
be broken to shivers: even
as I received of my Father.
00:02:53.85\00:02:57.87
And I will give
him the morning star.
00:02:57.90\00:03:00.69
He that hath an ear, let
him hear what the Spirit saith
00:03:00.72\00:03:05.01
unto the churches.
00:03:05.04\00:03:06.29
We're continuing in Revelation,
chapter 3, and this is the
00:03:06.32\00:03:10.05
King James Version.
00:03:10.08\00:03:11.08
And unto the angel of the church
in Sardis write; These things
00:03:11.11\00:03:16.93
saith he that hath the seven
Spirits of God, and the seven
00:03:16.96\00:03:20.03
stars; I know thy works,
that thou hast a name that thou
00:03:20.06\00:03:24.81
livest, and art dead.
00:03:24.84\00:03:26.51
Be watchful, and strengthen
the things which remain,
00:03:26.54\00:03:30.80
that are ready to die:
for I have not found thy works
00:03:30.83\00:03:34.67
perfect before God.
00:03:34.70\00:03:35.89
Remember therefore how thou hast
received and heard, and hold
00:03:35.92\00:03:41.04
fast, and repent.
00:03:41.07\00:03:42.53
If therefore thou shalt not
watch, I will come on thee as a
00:03:42.56\00:03:47.30
thief, and thou shalt not know
what hour I will come upon thee.
00:03:47.33\00:03:50.52
Thou hast a few names even
in Sardis which have not defiled
00:03:50.55\00:03:54.58
their garments; and they
shall walk with me in white:
00:03:54.61\00:03:57.47
for they are worthy.
00:03:57.50\00:03:59.25
He that overcometh, the
same shall be clothed in white
00:03:59.28\00:04:03.55
raiment; and I will not blot
out his name out of the book of
00:04:03.58\00:04:07.20
life, but I will confess
his name before my Father,
00:04:07.23\00:04:10.27
and before his angels.
00:04:10.30\00:04:11.92
He that hath an ear, let
him hear what the Spirit saith
00:04:11.95\00:04:16.06
unto the churches.
00:04:16.09\00:04:17.61
And to the angel of the
church in Philadelphia write;
00:04:17.64\00:04:21.28
These things saith he that is
holy, he that is true, he that
00:04:21.31\00:04:26.34
hath the key of David, he that
openeth, and no man shutteth;
00:04:26.37\00:04:30.41
and shutteth, and no man
openeth; I know thy works:
00:04:30.44\00:04:34.43
behold, I have set before
thee an open door, and no man
00:04:34.46\00:04:39.74
can shut it: for thou hast a
little strength, and hast kept
00:04:39.77\00:04:43.76
my word, and hast
not denied my name.
00:04:43.79\00:04:46.60
Behold, I will make them of the
synagogue of Satan, which say
00:04:46.63\00:04:50.76
they are Jews, and are not, but
do lie; behold, I will make them
00:04:50.79\00:04:55.74
to come and worship before thy
feet, and to know that I have
00:04:55.77\00:05:00.04
loved thee.
00:05:00.08\00:05:01.05
Because thou hast kept the word
of my patience, I also will keep
00:05:01.06\00:05:06.29
thee from the hour of
temptation, which shall come
00:05:06.32\00:05:10.33
upon all the world, to try
them that dwell upon the earth.
00:05:10.36\00:05:14.05
Behold, I come quickly:
hold fast which thou hast,
00:05:14.08\00:05:19.59
that no man take thy crown.
00:05:19.62\00:05:21.56
Him that overcometh will I make
a pillar in the temple of my
00:05:21.59\00:05:25.84
God, and he shall go no more
out: and I will write upon him
00:05:25.87\00:05:30.64
the name of my God, and
the name of the city of my God,
00:05:30.67\00:05:33.74
which is new Jerusalem, which
cometh down out of heaven from
00:05:33.77\00:05:37.92
my God: and I will
write upon him my new name.
00:05:37.95\00:05:41.89
He that hath an ear, let
him hear what the Spirit saith
00:05:41.92\00:05:45.62
unto the churches.
00:05:45.65\00:05:46.91
And unto the angel of the
church of the Laodiceans write;
00:05:46.94\00:05:51.76
These things saith the Amen,
the faithful and true witness,
00:05:51.79\00:05:57.07
the beginning of the creation of
God; I know thy works, that thou
00:05:57.10\00:06:03.02
art neither cold nor hot: I
would thou wert cold or hot.
00:06:03.05\00:06:07.64
So then because thou art
lukewarm, and neither cold nor
00:06:07.67\00:06:12.08
hot, I will spew
thee out of my mouth.
00:06:12.11\00:06:14.68
Because thou sayest, I am
rich, and increased with goods,
00:06:14.71\00:06:18.62
and have need of nothing;
and knowest not that thou art
00:06:18.65\00:06:23.30
wretched, and miserable,
and poor, and blind, and naked:
00:06:23.33\00:06:27.37
I counsel thee to buy of me gold
tried in the fire, that thou
00:06:27.40\00:06:34.00
mayest be rich; and white
raiment, that thou mayest be
00:06:34.03\00:06:37.85
clothed, and that the shame
of thy nakedness do not appear;
00:06:37.88\00:06:41.47
and anoint thine eyes with
eye salve, that thou mayest see.
00:06:41.50\00:06:46.68
As many as I love, I rebuke and
chasten: be zealous therefore,
00:06:46.71\00:06:52.40
and repent.
00:06:52.43\00:06:53.40
Behold, I stand at the door,
and knock: if any man hear my
00:06:53.41\00:06:57.51
voice, and open the
door, I will come in to him,
00:06:57.54\00:07:00.58
and will sup with
him, and he with me.
00:07:00.61\00:07:02.97
To him that overcometh will
I grant to sit with me in my
00:07:03.00\00:07:07.69
throne, even as I also overcame,
and am set down with my Father
00:07:07.72\00:07:13.27
in his throne.
00:07:13.30\00:07:14.57
He that hath an ear,
let him hear what the Spirit
00:07:14.60\00:07:18.82
saith unto the churches.
00:07:18.85\00:07:20.66
We're continuing now
with Revelation, chapter 4.
00:07:20.69\00:07:24.42
This is the King James Version.
00:07:24.45\00:07:26.11
After this I looked, and,
behold, a door was opened in
00:07:26.14\00:07:31.52
heaven: and the first voice
which I heard was as it were of
00:07:31.55\00:07:36.16
a trumpet talking with me; which
said, Come up hither, and I will
00:07:36.19\00:07:40.67
show thee things
which must be hereafter.
00:07:40.70\00:07:43.55
And immediately I was in the
Spirit: and, behold, a throne
00:07:43.58\00:07:49.20
was set in heaven,
and one sat on the throne.
00:07:49.23\00:07:52.59
And he that sat was to look
upon like a jasper and a sardine
00:07:52.62\00:07:57.41
stone: and there was a rainbow
round about the throne, in sight
00:07:57.44\00:08:02.16
like unto an emerald.
00:08:02.19\00:08:03.59
And round about the throne were
four and twenty seats: and upon
00:08:03.62\00:08:08.44
the seats I saw four and twenty
elders sitting, clothed in white
00:08:08.47\00:08:12.23
raiment; and they had on
their heads crowns of gold.
00:08:12.26\00:08:15.76
And out of the throne proceeded
lightnings and thunderings and
00:08:15.79\00:08:19.37
voices: and there were seven
lamps of fire burning before the
00:08:19.40\00:08:23.04
throne, which are
the seven Spirits of God.
00:08:23.07\00:08:25.98
And before the throne there
was a sea of glass like unto
00:08:26.01\00:08:30.46
crystal: and in the midst
of the throne, and round about
00:08:30.49\00:08:33.89
the throne, were four beasts
full of eyes before and behind.
00:08:33.92\00:08:38.21
And the first beast was like a
lion, and the second beast like
00:08:38.24\00:08:42.36
a calf, and the third beast had
a face as a man, and the fourth
00:08:42.39\00:08:46.25
beast was like a flying eagle.
00:08:46.28\00:08:48.07
And the four beasts had each
of them six wings about him;
00:08:48.10\00:08:53.01
and they were full of eyes
within: and they rest not day
00:08:53.04\00:08:57.26
and night, saying Holy,
holy, holy, Lord God Almighty,
00:08:57.29\00:09:03.32
which was, and
is, and is to come.
00:09:03.35\00:09:07.22
And when those beasts give glory
and honor and thanks to him that
00:09:07.25\00:09:12.02
sat on the throne, who liveth
for ever and ever, the four and
00:09:12.05\00:09:15.58
twenty elders fall down before
him that sat on the throne,
00:09:15.61\00:09:19.29
and worship him that liveth
forever and ever, and cast their
00:09:19.32\00:09:23.97
crowns before the throne,
saying, Thou art worthy, O Lord,
00:09:24.00\00:09:28.54
to receive glory and honor
and power: for thou hast created
00:09:28.57\00:09:33.70
all things, and for thy pleasure
they are and were created.
00:09:33.73\00:09:38.78
Continuing to read Revelation
chapter 5, and this is the
00:09:38.81\00:09:42.04
and this is the
King James Version.
00:09:42.07\00:09:43.91
And I saw in the right hand
of him that sat on the throne
00:09:43.94\00:09:48.92
a book written within and
on the backside, sealed with
00:09:48.95\00:09:53.19
seven seals.
00:09:53.22\00:09:54.34
And I saw a strong angel
proclaiming with a loud voice,
00:09:54.37\00:09:59.25
Who is worthy to open the book,
and to loose the seals thereof?
00:09:59.28\00:10:03.39
And no man in heaven, nor in
earth, neither under the earth,
00:10:03.42\00:10:09.33
was able to open the
book, neither to look thereon.
00:10:09.36\00:10:12.67
And I wept much, because no man
was found worthy to open and to
00:10:12.70\00:10:18.66
read the book,
neither to look thereon.
00:10:18.69\00:10:21.06
And one of the elders saith unto
me, Weep not: behold, the Lion
00:10:21.09\00:10:27.91
of the tribe of Judah, the Root
of David, hath prevailed to open
00:10:27.94\00:10:33.10
the book, and to loose
the seven seals thereof.
00:10:33.13\00:10:36.01
And I beheld, and, lo, in the
midst of the throne and of the
00:10:36.04\00:10:41.99
four beasts, and in the midst of
the elders, stood a Lamb as it
00:10:42.02\00:10:47.07
had been slain, having seven
horns and seven eyes, which are
00:10:47.10\00:10:52.43
the seven Spirits of God
sent forth into all the earth.
00:10:52.46\00:10:55.81
And he came and took the book
out of the right hand of him
00:10:55.84\00:10:59.91
that sat upon the throne.
00:10:59.94\00:11:01.74
And when he had taken the book,
the four beasts and four and
00:11:01.77\00:11:05.46
twenty elders fell down before
the Lamb, having every one of
00:11:05.49\00:11:10.22
them harps, and golden vials
full of odors, which are the
00:11:10.25\00:11:14.66
prayers of saints.
00:11:14.69\00:11:16.05
And they sung a new song,
saying, Thou art worthy to take
00:11:16.08\00:11:21.11
the book, and to open the seals
thereof: for thou wast slain,
00:11:21.14\00:11:25.45
and hast redeemed us to God by
thy blood out of every kindred,
00:11:25.48\00:11:30.44
and tongue, and people, and
nation; and hast made us unto
00:11:30.47\00:11:35.64
our God kings and priests:
and we shall reign on the earth.
00:11:35.67\00:11:39.61
And I beheld, and I heard the
voice of many angels round about
00:11:39.64\00:11:44.86
the throne and the beasts and
the elders: and the number of
00:11:44.89\00:11:48.28
them was ten thousand times
ten thousand, and thousands
00:11:48.31\00:11:52.36
of thousands; saying with a loud
voice, Worthy is the Lamb that
00:11:52.39\00:11:57.66
was slain to receive
power, and riches, and wisdom,
00:11:57.69\00:12:02.37
and strength, and
honor, and glory, and blessing.
00:12:02.40\00:12:07.14
And every creature which is
in heaven, and on the earth,
00:12:07.17\00:12:10.92
and under the earth, and such as
are in the sea, and all that are
00:12:10.95\00:12:15.57
in them, heard I saying,
Blessing, and honor, and glory,
00:12:15.60\00:12:20.36
and power, be unto him
that sitteth upon the throne,
00:12:20.39\00:12:23.92
and unto the
Lamb forever and ever.
00:12:23.95\00:12:27.39
And the four beasts said, Amen.
00:12:27.42\00:12:30.83
And the four and twenty elders
fell down and worshiped him
00:12:30.86\00:12:34.61
that liveth forever and ever.

We're continuing to read
in Revelation, chapter 6.
00:12:37.76\00:12:42.59
And I saw when the Lamb opened
one of the seals, and I heard,
00:12:42.62\00:12:46.32
as it were the noise of thunder,
one of the four beasts saying,
00:12:46.35\00:12:50.43
Come and see.
00:12:50.46\00:12:51.53
And I saw, and behold a white
horse: and he that sat on him
00:12:51.56\00:12:57.37
had a bow; and a crown was
given unto him: and he went
00:12:57.40\00:13:00.88
forth
conquering, and to conquer.
00:13:00.91\00:13:03.33
And when he had opened the
second seal, I heard the second
00:13:03.36\00:13:08.00
beast say, Come and see.
00:13:08.03\00:13:10.04
And there went out another
horse that was red: and power
00:13:10.07\00:13:13.45
was given to him that sat
thereon to take peace from the
00:13:13.48\00:13:16.65
earth, and that they should
kill one another: and there was
00:13:16.68\00:13:19.84
given unto him a great sword.
00:13:19.87\00:13:21.80
And when he had opened the third
seal, I heard the third beast
00:13:21.83\00:13:25.53
say, Come and see.
00:13:25.56\00:13:27.09
And I beheld, and lo a black
horse; and he that sat on him
00:13:27.12\00:13:32.26
had a pair of
balances in his hand.
00:13:32.29\00:13:34.61
And I heard a voice in the
midst of the four beasts say,
00:13:34.64\00:13:38.45
A measure of wheat for a penny,
and three measures of barley
00:13:38.48\00:13:41.87
for a penny; and see thou
hurt not the oil and the wine.
00:13:42.00\00:13:46.19
And when he had opened the
fourth seal, I heard the voice
00:13:46.22\00:13:49.16
of the fourth
beast say, Come and see.
00:13:49.19\00:13:51.63
And I looked, and behold a pale
horse: and his name that sat on
00:13:51.66\00:13:55.78
him was Death, and
Hell followed with him.
00:13:55.81\00:13:58.71
And power was given unto
them over the fourth part of the
00:13:58.74\00:14:01.93
earth, to kill with sword,
and with hunger, and with death,
00:14:01.96\00:14:04.61
and with the
beasts of the earth.
00:14:04.64\00:14:06.51
And when he had opened the fifth
seal, I saw under the altar the
00:14:06.54\00:14:10.93
souls of them that were slain
for the word of God, and for the
00:14:10.96\00:14:14.09
testimony which they held: and
they cried with a loud voice,
00:14:14.12\00:14:17.77
saying, How long, O Lord, holy
and true, dost thou not judge
00:14:17.80\00:14:22.33
and avenge our blood on
them that dwell on the earth?
00:14:22.36\00:14:25.59
And white robes were
given unto every one of them;
00:14:25.62\00:14:28.94
Thank you for
joining with me today.
00:14:28.97\00:14:31.61
Please come back next
time to read the word of God.
00:14:31.64\00:14:34.09
Goodbye.
