    Rev.14.6-8'The hour of judgment' (2 of 2)

    "And worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters./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."

    This entire chapter evokes how the Son preached the gospel of his Father beginning on Mt.5 and ending "And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine/For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes." (Mt.7.28-29). This has a backside on his 'woe to ye' tirade ending over a lament on Jerusalem in Mt.ch.23.

    In the first two chapters of the book of Genesis we have the everlasting Covenant stated in seven days and we have the Judgment on the sons of Perdition stated from vv.13-19."and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe." The winepress is i 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."(v.20) The city is not of the earth but of New Jerusalem. 4x4x1000 is the key. The judgment spans from beginning till the end. Command number Four informs that judgment according to the word so it is determined by Jesus Christ.

    Consequently according to the predetermined will of God these cities Sodom,Egypt Jerusalem and finally Babylon shall come to remembrance. "Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all."(Rev.18.21b; 11.8)

    As with Rev.20 this chapter deals with God's Will concerning 144,000 having the name of the Father in their foreheads.

    14.1-5 The first fruits of the tree of life. The everlasting Covenant so insists on fruits 'and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind.'

    6-8 everlasting gospel preached:God's Will concerning Babylon and it is fallen thus fulfilling judgment aspects of the gospel.
