Hello, and welcome
back to His Words are Life.
00:00:17.26\00:00:19.84
I'm Kelly Mowrer, and thank
you for joining with me today.
00:00:19.87\00:00:22.97
Before we read
together, let's pray.
00:00:23.00\00:00:25.71
Dear Jesus, we are coming today
to read your book, Revelation
00:00:25.74\00:00:31.68
of you, the revelation of Jesus
Christ. And not everything that
00:00:31.71\00:00:35.98
we read is maybe going to be
completely clearly understood.
00:00:36.01\00:00:40.29
But there is a few things
that we see woven throughout
00:00:40.32\00:00:45.12
these pages that we want to
make a part of our lives. We
00:00:45.15\00:00:49.82
read over and over again of how
you are worshiped unceasingly
00:00:49.85\00:00:54.29
in heaven, and how to you alone
is the kingdom and the power
00:00:54.32\00:00:58.32
and the authority, the
glory forever and ever.
00:00:58.35\00:01:00.71
We want you to be the Lord of
our lives, glorified and on the
00:01:00.74\00:01:05.65
throne of our hearts above all
things, ruling over all of our
00:01:05.68\00:01:09.17
affairs just as you do in
heaven. Please open our hearts
00:01:09.20\00:01:12.17
and our minds now as we
read; that we may understand
00:01:12.20\00:01:15.24
the revelation of you and become
more like you because of it.
00:01:15.27\00:01:19.01
We love you so much and
thank you for loving us. Amen
00:01:19.04\00:01:22.02
Again, we're reading today
from the book of Revelation.
00:01:22.05\00:01:25.73
We're in chapter 11 and when
we were last reading, we were
00:01:25.76\00:01:29.45
reading about the olive
trees, the candlesticks, the -
00:01:29.48\00:01:34.52
were written in chapter
11, that was in verse 4.
00:01:34.55\00:01:37.57
We're going to pick up now in
verse 6, speaking about them -
00:01:37.60\00:01:40.98
continuing to speak of them and
this is the King James Version.
00:01:41.01\00:01:44.06
These have power to shut heaven,
that it rain not in the days of
00:01:44.09\00:01:50.05
their prophecy: and have power
over waters to turn them to
00:01:50.08\00:01:53.76
blood and to smite the earth
with all plagues, as often as
00:01:53.79\00:01:57.88
they will. And when they shall
have finished their testimony,
00:01:57.91\00:02:01.83
the beast that ascendeth out
of the bottomless pit shall make
00:02:01.86\00:02:06.74
war against them, and shall
overcome them, and kill them.
00:02:06.77\00:02:11.15
And their dead bodies shall lie
in the street of the great city,
00:02:11.18\00:02:15.72
which spiritually is
called Sodom and Egypt,
00:02:15.75\00:02:19.00
where also our
Lord was crucified.
00:02:19.03\00:02:22.17
And they of the people and
kindreds and tongues and nations
00:02:22.20\00:02:26.54
shall see their dead
bodies three days and an half,
00:02:26.57\00:02:29.85
and shall not suffer their
dead bodies to be put in graves.
00:02:29.88\00:02:34.05
And they that dwell upon the
earth shall rejoice over them,
00:02:34.08\00:02:37.70
and make merry, and shall send
gifts one to another; because
00:02:37.73\00:02:41.49
these two prophets tormented
them that dwelt on the earth.
00:02:41.52\00:02:44.75
And after three days and an
half the Spirit of life from God
00:02:44.78\00:02:49.29
entered into them, and
they stood upon their feet;
00:02:49.32\00:02:52.12
and great fear fell
upon them which saw them.
00:02:52.15\00:02:55.59
And they heard a great voice
from heaven saying unto them,
00:02:55.62\00:02:58.94
Come up hither. And
they ascended up to heaven
00:02:58.97\00:03:01.74
in a cloud; and their enemies
beheld them. And the same hour
00:03:01.77\00:03:06.65
was their a great earthquake,
and the tenth part of the city
00:03:06.68\00:03:09.75
fell, and in the earthquake
were slain of men 7,000:
00:03:09.78\00:03:14.08
and the remnant were affrighted
and gave glory to the God of
00:03:14.11\00:03:17.69
heaven. The second woe is
past; and, behold, the third woe
00:03:17.72\00:03:23.15
cometh quickly. And the 7th
angel sounded; and there were
00:03:23.18\00:03:27.16
great voices in heaven, saying,
The kingdoms of this world
00:03:27.19\00:03:30.15
are become the kingdoms of
our Lord, and of his Christ;
00:03:30.18\00:03:34.19
and he shall reign for ever and
ever. And the four and twenty
00:03:34.22\00:03:39.61
elders, which sat before God
on their seats, fell upon their
00:03:39.64\00:03:42.46
faces, and worshipped God,
saying, We give the thanks,
00:03:42.49\00:03:46.87
O Lord God Almighty, which
art, and wast, and art to come;
00:03:46.90\00:03:51.35
because thou hast taken to
thee thy great power, and hast
00:03:51.38\00:03:55.18
reigned. And the nations were
angry, and thy wrath is come,
00:03:55.21\00:03:59.14
and the time of the dead,
that they should be judged,
00:03:59.17\00:04:01.55
and that thou shouldest
give reward unto thy servants
00:04:01.58\00:04:04.21
the prophets, and to the saints,
and them that fear thy name,
00:04:04.24\00:04:08.63
small and great; and shouldest
destroy them which destroy
00:04:08.66\00:04:12.69
the earth. And the temple of God
was opened in heaven, and there
00:04:12.72\00:04:16.36
was seen in his temple the ark
of his testament: and there were
00:04:16.39\00:04:19.74
lightnings, and voices, and
thunderings, and an earthquake,
00:04:19.77\00:04:23.37
and great hail.
We're continuing to read
00:04:23.40\00:04:26.50
in Revelation, chapter 12
and it's the King James Version.
00:04:26.53\00:04:30.38
And there appeared a
great wonder in heaven; a woman
00:04:30.41\00:04:35.65
clothed with the sun, and the
moon under her feet, and upon
00:04:35.68\00:04:39.48
her head a crown of 12 stars:
And she being with child cried,
00:04:39.51\00:04:44.39
travailing in birth, and pained
to be delivered. And there
00:04:44.42\00:04:48.38
appeared another wonder
in heaven; and behold a great
00:04:48.41\00:04:51.18
red dragon, having seven heads
and ten horns, and seven crowns
00:04:51.21\00:04:56.50
upon his heads and his tail drew
the third part of the stars of
00:04:56.53\00:05:01.09
heaven and did cast them to
the earth: and the dragon stood
00:05:01.12\00:05:04.93
before the woman which
was ready to be delivered,
00:05:04.96\00:05:07.04
for to devour her child as soon
as it was born. And she brought
00:05:07.07\00:05:12.20
forth a man child, who was
to rule all nations with a rod
00:05:12.23\00:05:15.66
of iron: and her child
was caught up unto God,
00:05:15.69\00:05:19.29
and to his throne. And the
woman fled into the wilderness,
00:05:19.32\00:05:23.22
where she hath a place prepared
of God, that they should feed
00:05:23.25\00:05:27.15
her there a thousand two
hundred and threescore days.
00:05:27.18\00:05:29.88
And there was war in heaven:
Michael and his angels fought
00:05:29.91\00:05:34.80
against the dragon; and the
dragon fought and his angels,
00:05:34.83\00:05:38.65
and prevailed not; neither was
there place found any more in
00:05:38.68\00:05:43.14
heaven. And the great dragon
was cast out, that old serpent,
00:05:43.17\00:05:47.42
called the Devil, and Satan,
which deceiveth the whole world:
00:05:47.45\00:05:50.97
he was cast out into the earth,
and his angels were cast out
00:05:51.00\00:05:54.69
with him. And I heard a
loud voice saying in heaven,
00:05:54.72\00:05:58.21
Now is come salvation,
and strength, and the kingdom
00:05:58.24\00:06:03.01
of our God, and the power of his
Christ: for the accuser of our
00:06:03.04\00:06:08.33
brethren is cast down, which
accused them before our God
00:06:08.36\00:06:11.76
day and night. And they
overcame him by the blood of
00:06:11.79\00:06:16.24
the Lamb, and by the word of
their testimony; and they loved
00:06:16.27\00:06:20.83
not their lives unto the death.
Therefore rejoice, ye heavens,
00:06:20.86\00:06:25.97
and ye that dwell in them. Woe
to the inhabiters of the earth
00:06:26.00\00:06:29.93
and of the sea! for the devil
is come down unto you, having
00:06:29.96\00:06:33.49
great wrath, because he knoweth
that he hath but a short time.
00:06:33.52\00:06:37.19
And when the dragon saw
that he was cast unto the earth,
00:06:37.22\00:06:41.14
he persecuted the woman which
brought forth the man child.
00:06:41.17\00:06:44.14
And to the woman were given two
wings of a great eagle, that she
00:06:44.17\00:06:48.44
might fly into the wilderness,
into her place, where she is
00:06:48.47\00:06:52.15
nourished for a time, and times,
and half a time, from the face
00:06:52.18\00:06:57.74
of the serpent. And the serpent
cast out of his mouth water
00:06:57.77\00:07:02.39
as a flood after the woman,
that he might cause her to be
00:07:02.42\00:07:06.20
carried away of the flood.
And the earth helped the woman,
00:07:06.23\00:07:10.14
and the earth opened her mouth,
and swallowed up the flood which
00:07:10.17\00:07:14.23
the dragon cast out of his
mouth. And the dragon was wroth
00:07:14.26\00:07:18.58
with the woman, and went to make
war with the remnant of her seed
00:07:18.61\00:07:22.49
which keep the commandments
of God, and have the testimony
00:07:22.52\00:07:26.54
of Jesus Christ.
Continuing to read in
00:07:26.57\00:07:30.09
the book of Revelation,
beginning with chapter 13,
00:07:30.12\00:07:32.62
This is the King James Version.
00:07:32.65\00:07:35.31
And I stood upon the sand of the
sea, and saw a beast rise up out
00:07:35.34\00:07:41.85
of the sea, having seven heads
and ten horns, and upon his
00:07:41.88\00:07:46.25
horns ten crowns, and upon
his heads the name of blasphemy.
00:07:46.28\00:07:50.48
And the beast which I saw was
like unto a leopard and his feet
00:07:50.51\00:07:55.46
which were as the feet of a bear
and his mouth as the mouth of a
00:07:55.49\00:07:59.21
lion: and the dragon gave
him his power, and his seat,
00:07:59.24\00:08:03.31
and great authority. And I
saw one of his heads as it were
00:08:03.34\00:08:07.81
wounded to death; and
his d eadly wound was healed:
00:08:07.84\00:08:11.24
and all the world wondered after
the beast. And they worshipped
00:08:11.27\00:08:16.09
the dragon which
gave power unto the beast,
00:08:16.12\00:08:18.75
and they worshipped the beast,
saying, Who is like unto the
00:08:18.78\00:08:21.85
beast? who is able to make war
with him? And there was given
00:08:21.88\00:08:25.89
unto him a mouth speaking
great things and blasphemies;
00:08:25.92\00:08:30.02
and power was given unto him to
continue forty and two months.
00:08:30.05\00:08:34.21
And he opened his mouth
in blasphemy against God,
00:08:34.25\00:08:38.03
to blaspheme his name, and
his tabernacle, and them that
00:08:38.06\00:08:41.57
dwell in heaven. And it
was given unto him to make war
00:08:41.60\00:08:45.75
with the saints and to overcome
them: and power was given him
00:08:45.78\00:08:49.68
over all kindreds, and tongues,
and nations. And all that dwell
00:08:49.71\00:08:54.06
upon the earth shall worship
him, whose names are not written
00:08:54.09\00:08:57.09
in the book of life of the Lamb
slain from the foundation of the
00:08:57.12\00:09:00.75
world. If any man have an ear,
let him hear. He that leadeth
00:09:00.78\00:09:06.79
into captivity shall go
into captivity: he that killeth
00:09:06.82\00:09:10.85
with the sword must
be killed with the sword.
00:09:10.88\00:09:13.12
Here is the patience
and the faith of the saints.
00:09:13.15\00:09:17.29
And I beheld another beast
coming up out of the earth;
00:09:17.32\00:09:21.26
and he had two horns like a
lamb and he spake as a dragon.
00:09:21.29\00:09:25.28
And he exerciseth all
the power of the first beast
00:09:25.31\00:09:28.90
before him, and causeth
the earth and them which dwell
00:09:28.93\00:09:32.56
therein to worship the
first beast, whose deadly wound
00:09:32.59\00:09:35.88
was healed. And he doeth great
wonders, so that he maketh fire
00:09:35.91\00:09:40.80
come down from heaven on
the earth in the sight of men,
00:09:40.83\00:09:43.83
and deceiveth them that dwell
on the earth by the means of
00:09:43.86\00:09:47.89
those miracles which he
had power to do in the sight
00:09:47.92\00:09:51.16
of the beast; saying to them
which that dwell on the earth
00:09:51.19\00:09:54.23
that they should make an image
to the beast which had the wound
00:09:54.26\00:09:57.06
by a sword, and did live.
And he had power to give life
00:09:57.09\00:10:02.00
unto the image of the beast,
that the image of the beast
00:10:02.03\00:10:05.71
should both speak, and
cause that as many as would not
00:10:05.74\00:10:09.49
worship the image of
the beast should be killed.
00:10:09.52\00:10:12.28
and he causeth all,
both small and great,
00:10:12.31\00:10:15.97
rich and poor, free
and bond, to receive a mark
00:10:16.00\00:10:21.09
in their right hand, or in their
foreheads: And that no man might
00:10:21.12\00:10:25.60
buy or sell, save he that
had the mark, or the name of the
00:10:25.63\00:10:29.30
beast, or the number of
his name. Here is wisdom.
00:10:29.33\00:10:32.67
Let him that hath understanding
count the number of the beast:
00:10:32.70\00:10:37.02
for it is the number of a man;
and his number is Six hundred
00:10:37.05\00:10:42.36
threescore and six.
00:10:42.39\00:10:44.93
Continuing to read. This
is the King James Version,
00:10:44.96\00:10:48.94
the book of
Revelation, chapter fourteen.
00:10:48.97\00:10:51.50
And I looked, and, lo, a
Lamb stood on the mount Sion,
00:10:51.53\00:10:57.85
and with him an hundred forty
and four thousand, having his
00:10:57.88\00:11:01.96
Father's name written in their
foreheads. And I heard a voice
00:11:01.99\00:11:05.09
from heaven, as the voice of
many waters, and as the voice
00:11:05.12\00:11:08.86
of a great thunder: and I heard
the voice of harpers harping
00:11:08.89\00:11:13.02
with their harps: And they sung
as it were a new song before the
00:11:13.05\00:11:17.50
throne, and before the
four beasts, and the elders:
00:11:17.53\00:11:20.23
and no man could learn
that song but the hundred and
00:11:20.26\00:11:23.73
forty and four thousand, which
were redeemed from the earth.
00:11:23.76\00:11:26.48
These are they which were not
defiled with women; for they are
00:11:26.51\00:11:31.57
virgins. These are they which
follow the Lamb whithersoever
00:11:31.60\00:11:36.00
he goeth. These were redeemed
from among men, being the first
00:11:36.03\00:11:40.45
fruits unto God and to the Lamb.
And in their mouth was found no
00:11:40.48\00:11:45.69
guile: for they are without
fault before the throne of God.
00:11:45.72\00:11:49.88
And I saw another angel fly in
the midst of heaven, having the
00:11:49.91\00:11:55.07
everlasting gospel to preach
unto them that dwell on the
00:11:55.10\00:11:58.27
earth, and to every nation, and
kindred, and tongue, and people,
00:11:58.30\00:12:01.66
saying with a loud voice,
Fear God, and give glory to him;
00:12:01.69\00:12:05.15
for the hour of his judgment
is come: and worship him that
00:12:05.18\00:12:09.93
made heaven, and earth, and the
sea and the fountains of waters.
00:12:09.96\00:12:13.57
And there followed another
angel saying, Babylon is fallen,
00:12:13.60\00:12:18.69
is fallen, that great city,
because she made all nations
00:12:18.72\00:12:22.24
drink of the wine of the
wrath of her fornication.
00:12:22.27\00:12:25.38
And the third angel followed
them, saying with a loud voice,
00:12:25.41\00:12:29.51
If any man worship the beast and
his image, and receive his mark
00:12:29.54\00:12:33.19
in his forehead, or in his hand,
the same shall drink of the wine
00:12:33.22\00:12:37.23
of the wrath of God, which
is poured out without mixture
00:12:37.26\00:12:40.63
into the cup of his indignation;
and he shall be tormented
00:12:40.66\00:12:44.71
with fire and brimstone in
the presence of the holy angels,
00:12:44.74\00:12:47.74
and in the presence of the Lamb:
And the smoke of their torment
00:12:47.77\00:12:50.91
ascendeth up for ever and ever:
and they have no rest day nor
00:12:50.94\00:12:55.34
night, who worship the beast
and his image, and whosoever
00:12:55.37\00:12:59.01
receiveth the mark of his name.
Here is the patience of the
00:12:59.04\00:13:03.71
saints: here are they that
keep the commandments of God,
00:13:03.74\00:13:07.72
and the faith of Jesus. And I
heard a voice from heaven saying
00:13:07.75\00:13:11.86
unto me, Write, Blessed are
the dead which die in the Lord
00:13:11.89\00:13:16.71
from henceforth: Yea, saith the
Spirit, that they may rest from
00:13:16.74\00:13:21.88
their labors; and their works
do follow them. And I looked
00:13:21.91\00:13:26.60
and behold a white cloud,
and upon the cloud one sat
00:13:26.63\00:13:30.78
like unto the Son of man, having
on his head a golden crown,
00:13:30.81\00:13:35.12
and in his hand a sharp sickle.
And another angel came out
00:13:35.15\00:13:39.90
of the temple, crying with a
loud voice to him that sat on
00:13:39.93\00:13:42.94
the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle,
and reap: for the time is come
00:13:42.97\00:13:47.87
for thee to reap; for the
harvest of the earth is ripe.
00:13:47.90\00:13:51.26
And he that sat on the cloud
thrust in his sickle on the
00:13:51.29\00:13:55.22
earth; and the earth was reaped.
And another angel came out of
00:13:55.25\00:13:59.43
the temple which is in heaven,
he also having a sharp sickle.
00:13:59.46\00:14:03.69
And another angel came out from
the altar, which had power over
00:14:03.72\00:14:07.77
fire; and cried with a loud
cry to him that had the sharp
00:14:07.80\00:14:11.82
sickle, saying, Thrust in
thy sharp sickle, and gather
00:14:11.85\00:14:15.57
the clusters of the vine of the
earth for their grapes are fully
00:14:15.60\00:14:19.86
ripe. And the angel thrust
in his sickle into the earth,
00:14:19.89\00:14:23.49
and gathered the vine of
the earth, and cast it into the
00:14:23.52\00:14:27.28
great winepress
of the wrath of God.
