Revelation 14:11 - 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.
These are very powerful verses that tell us that when a person is in hell, there will be no rest for them day and night. They will be tormented forever.
There's another movement that says "We don't believe that God sends people to hell or that he makes people suffer throughout eternity. Jesus said in Matthew 24:41 that hell was created for Satan and his angels, not people." Well then, why are people going there?
It's because their allegiance is to the beast. Satan is their god. And by the way, there's only one hell. The lake of fire that we will see later on is called hell. That's the only place that it's called hell in the scriptures.
Revelation 14:12 - Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
Did you catch it?
Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God. Now there are groups that say that the commandments are the Old Testament, the law, that they are known as the commandments, without realizing that this angel has just gone through, and is proclaiming in command form what to do, and what not to do.
For those people who obey the commandments of God given by this angel, and who have the faith "of" Jesus. In the Greek text, that's what it says, and that's what it means. It is the same thing that Jesus told one of the churches in Revelation Chapter 2. He says you have kept my faith. It is the faith that Jesus gave them.
So, here's the patience of the saints, the endurance of the saints, surrender to Christ, live by the faith that He gives!
Revelation 16:12 - 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.
We're getting into the Gog and Magog territory of Ezekiel Chapters 38 and 39, where the armies are going to come against Israel from the north. And the Euphrates River is going to be dried up, and the armies are going to be able to go through the river and get to Jerusalem. These will be cavalry people.
Revelation 16:14 - 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.
You see the whole point of all this, if you can imagine this, Satan going through all this trouble to bring about a one world government, one world religious system, one world economic system. It's so he can unify everybody under his control so that at the second coming of Christ, he will be in control of them to get them over to the valley of Megiddo and fight against the Lord at His second coming.
That's it! He doesn't want anybody's money. He knows the second coming of Christ is coming. If he says, "Okay everybody, let's go fight against the Lord when He comes," he has no authority over them. These are people who are locked in that have the mark of the beast and belong to him. They worship him. And they blaspheme God as these judgments are happening, so Satan says, "They're conditioned, they're mine!"
And the whole point of this is to draw everybody over to the valley of Megiddo. And we'll see that soon in Revelation. But these demonic spirits like frogs are coming out of these three to influence the kings of the earth, and the whole world, and to gather them together for battle.
Revelation 16:2 - 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.
And the first went, and poured out his bowl upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore. This would be the word HELKOS which refers to physical sores or boils. The only other place this is found is in Exodus where we read about the plagues of Egypt.
There fell a noisome and grievous boil upon men who had the mark of the beast, and upon them that worshipped his image.
Revelation 16:3 - 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.
Again, we are reminded of the plagues in Egypt in Exodus 7:15-21.
Revelation 16:4 - And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood.
We saw this back in the breaking of the seals. Only a third at that time was done. Now it is complete.
Revelation 16:5 - 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.
And I heard the angel of the waters say, and remember I told you that angels seem to be put in charge of nature of some kind, wind, or water. So, I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, who art, and wast, and shall be, that is, who is, and who was, and who always shall be.
Who art, and was, and shall be is a paraphrase of God's name taken from Exodus 3:14.
Revelation 16:9 - 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.
That's quite a difference between what's going on in heaven and what's going on here on the earth.
Revelation 15:1 - 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.
And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up (or completes), the wrath of God.
This is what is known by Jeremiah in Jeremiah 30:7 as the Time of Jacob's Trouble. Also in that verse, Jeremiah says that day is great, so that nothing is like it.
In Daniel 12:1, he says this time will be a time of trouble such as never was here on the earth. This is the seven last plagues. Under the breaking of the seventh seal, we have seven trumpets. And now we have seven bowl judgments. They all are under the seventh seal. The seventh bowl judgment begins at the seventh trumpet.
Revelation 15:2 - 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.
They are standing on the sea of glass. That's this large area that's right before the throne that we saw back in Chapter 4. And they have the harps of God. These again would be the lyres, the guitar like instruments.
Revelation 15:6 - 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.
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, or sashes. That would be the dress of the high priest. So, these angels have the seven last plagues.
Revelation 14:13 - 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.
And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead. Whoa! This word blessed is MAKARIOS. It is the same word used in the beatitudes in Matthew Chapter 5. And it means to experience the fullness of something.
Blessed are the dead, which die in the Lord from now on, that experience of dying for the Lord and experiencing the fullness of God being with them: Yea, says the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; and their works do follow them. That is, into heaven.
Revelation 14:14 - 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.
And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man. We find this in Daniel Chapter 7. It is Christ.
Revelation 14:20 - 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.
Out in the valley of Megiddo, which is north of Jerusalem, it's not in the city. There is a valley, and these measurements tell us that it's about 200 miles long.
Millions of people are going to gather in this valley to fight against Christ when He comes at His second coming. And it says the blood is going to be flowing up to the horse's bridles.
Some think that maybe it is just blood splattering. But these are just idioms to show you that when you fight against God, if there's a million soldiers, you're going to have a million dead soldiers.
Revelation 14:11 - 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.
These are very powerful verses that tell us that when a person is in hell, there will be no rest for them day and night. They will be tormented forever.

God bless you.
You are welcome. I'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I hope to wrap this up by the end of next week!
God Bless!!!

If they're horsemen, they're going to be dead!
