Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these you might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. Anchored to Gal 5:22

The Lord created man in His image.
We are born of His spirit.
We are filled with His spirit.

   → what is generally believed
   → what is generally valued
   → what is generally done.

In Christ Jesus we have escaped this corruption but we must 'keep ourselved unspotted from the world'.

288

Forasmuch as you saw that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great Lord has made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.

All the kingdoms of earth will be crushed at His return and He will rule over all the earth.

289

Then the king made Daniel a great man, and gave him many great gifts, and made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon, and chief of the governors over all the wise men of Babylon.

Daniel's humility and service to God reaped the greatest rewards available to man
   → to be in fellowship with God
   → to be used by God
   → to receive 'all these things'

290

These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth.

299

Daniel spoke and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea.

This is imagery where
→ the four winds are ego-maniacal heads of kingdoms
→ the great sea is humanity

Winds affect the affairs on earth. The heaven in this verse speaks to above the ground where the people are.

The sea is just water which is affected by the gravity of the moon, the sun and the winds

The winds striving on the sea indicates how the rank and file people are not the cause of wars and kingdoms but are simply moved by the ego-maniacs who manipulate them.

300

And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spoke very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows.

The Most High God is Christ Jesus.

302

And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.

The Most High God is Christ Jesus.

303

And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another.

Silver Chest and Arms	Bear raised up on one side	Medes and Persian Empire (538-331 BC)	The Medo-Persian empire was known for it's use of silver. In Daniel's vision it was lifted up on one side because the Persians were more powerful than the Medes. The three ribs in its mouth speak of the three great conquests this empire undertook in defeating Babylon, Lydia and Egypt. [2]
Thighs of Bronze	Leopard with four wings and four heads	Greek Empire (331-168 BC)	The next beast was the Greek empire. The vision emphasises the swiftness of it exploits. By the age of 28 Alexander the Great had conquered the civilized world! Commentators have pointed out that there is nothing in the history of the world that was equal to the swiftness of his conquests. But this beat had four heads. This eemphasizes the split between four generals after the death of Alexander.
Legs of Iron	Powerful beast with iron teeth	Roman Empire (168 BC - 476 AD)	The last beast, the Roman Empire, is pictured as a powerful beast with iron teeth. The Roman empire was known for their use of iron and the iron represented their immense strength. This empire, in its different stages, is focused on specifically as the rest of the chapter unfolds.

304

After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and broke in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.

305

I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.

306

And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them.

Antiochus erected in the temple a statue to Jupiter Olympus, deservedly esteemed the abomination of desolation, and thus magnified himself against God, to whom the sanctuary and its services were appropriated.

307

And the rough goat is the king of Grecia: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king.

308

I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward; so that no beasts might stand before him, neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and became great.

309

Therefore the he goat waxed very great: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and for it came up four notable ones toward the four winds of heaven.

It is said that Alexander wept when there were no more kingdoms to conquer. He died as a young man at 32 from malaria contracted in Babylonia.

When he died his kingdom was divided four ways.

310

And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land.

Antiochus IV Epiphanes(Greek: 'God Manifest') (born c. 215 bce—died 164, Tabae, Iran) was the Seleucid king of the Hellenistic Syrian kingdom who reigned from 175 to 164 bce.
As a ruler, he was best known for his encouragement of Greek culture and institutions.

His attempts to suppress Judaism brought on the Wars of the Maccabees.

311

And he has confirmed his words, which he spoke against us, and against our judges that judged us, by bringing upon us a great evil: for under the whole heaven has not been done as has been done upon Jerusalem.

312

O my Lord, incline your ear, and hear; open your eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city which is called by your name: for we do not present our supplications before you for our righteousnesses, but for your great kindnesses. Translated from KJV

Daniel understood the culpability of Israel and so he called on the mercy and kindness of the Lord to restore Israel.

At the beginning of your supplications the commandment came forth, and I am come to show you; for you are greatly beloved: therefore understand the matter, and consider the vision.

314

And I prayed unto the Lord my Lord, and made my confession, and said, O Lord, the great and dreadful Lord, keeping the covenant and kindness to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments; Translated from KJV

You shall not respect persons in judgment; but you shall hear the small as well as the great; you shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment is the Lord's: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring it unto me, and I will hear it. Translated from KJV

325

And when we departed from Horeb, we went through all that great and terrible wilderness, which you saw by the way of the mountain of the Amorites, as the Lord, our Lord commanded us; and we came to Kadeshbarnea. Translated from KJV

326

Where shall we go up? our brothers have discouraged our heart, saying, The people is greater and taller than we; the cities are great and walled up to heaven; and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakims there.

327

Turn you, and take your journey, and go to the mount of the Amorites, and unto all the places near thereunto, in the plain, in the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto Lebanon, unto the great river, the river Euphrates.

Then the Lord will make your plagues wonderful, and the plagues of your seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and very much sicknesses, and of long continuance.

338

A people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims; but the Lord destroyed them before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead:

Who led you through that great and terrible wilderness, wherein were fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where there was no water; who brought you forth water out of the rock of flint;

Hear, O Israel: You are to pass over Jordan this day, to go in to possess nations greater and mightier than yourself, cities great and fenced up to heaven,

365

I communed with my own heart, saying, Lo, I am come to great estate, and have gotten more wisdom than all they that have been before me in Jerusalem: yes, my heart had great experience of wisdom and knowledge.

366

For there is a man whose labour is in wisdom, and in knowledge, and in equity; yet to a man that has not laboured therein shall he leave it for his portion. This also is vanity and a great evil.

367

I made me great works; I builded me houses; I planted me vineyards:

368

I got me servants and maidens, and had servants born in my house; also I had great possessions of great and small cattle above all that were in Jerusalem before me:

369

So I was great, and increased more than all that were before me in Jerusalem: also my wisdom remained with me.

370

Because to every purpose there is time and judgment, therefore the misery of man is great upon him.

371

This wisdom have I seen also under the sun, and it seemed great unto me:

398

And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses said unto the people, You have sinned a great sin: and now I will go up unto the Lord; perhaps I shall make an atonement for your sin.

399

And Moses returned unto the Lord, and said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of gold.

400

And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.

401

Wherefore say unto the children of Israel, I am the Lord, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with a stretched out arm, and with great judgments:

402

But Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you, that I may lay my hand upon Egypt, and bring forth mine armies, and my people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments.

409

He took also of the seed of the land, and planted it in a fruitful field; he placed it by great waters, and set it as a willow tree.

410

There was also another great eagle with great wings and many feathers: and, behold, this vine did bend her roots toward him, and shot forth her branches toward him, that he might water it by the furrows of her plantation.

It was planted in a good soil by great waters, that it might bring forth branches, and that it might bear fruit, that it might be a goodly vine.

416

You therefore, son of man, prophesy, and strike your hands together, and let the sword be doubled the third time, the sword of the slain: it is the sword of the great men that are slain, which enters into their privy chambers.

417

The Babylonians, and all the Chaldeans, Pekod, and Shoa, and Koa, and all the Assyrians with them: all of them desirable young men, captains and rulers, great lords and renowned, all of them riding upon horses.

425

Son of man, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon caused his army to serve a great service against Tyrus: every head was made bald, and every shoulder was peeled: yet had he no wages, nor his army, for Tyrus, for the service that he had served against it:

426

Speak, and say, Thus says the Lord; Behold, I am against you, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great dragon that lies in the midst of his rivers, which has said, My river is my own, and I have made it for myself. Translated from KJV

430

Thus says the Lord; In the day when he went down to the grave I caused a mourning: I covered the deep for him, and I restrained the floods thereof, and the great waters were stayed: and I caused Lebanon to mourn for him, and all the trees of the field fainted for him. Translated from KJV

431

To whom are you thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees of Eden? yet shall you be brought down with the trees of Eden unto the nether parts of the earth: you shall lie in the midst of the uncircumcised with them that be slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, says the Lord. Translated from KJV

432

Son of man, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to his multitude; Whom are you like in your greatness?

433

The waters made him great, the deep set him up on high with her rivers running round about his plants, and sent out her little rivers unto all the trees of the field.

434

All the fowls of heaven made their nests in his boughs, and under his branches did all the beasts of the field bring forth their young, and under his shadow dwelt all great nations.

435

Thus was he fair in his greatness, in the length of his branches: for his root was by great waters.

436

I will destroy also all the beasts thereof from beside the great waters; neither shall the foot of man trouble them any more, nor the hoofs of beasts trouble them.

437

And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the heathen, which you have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I am the Lord, says the Lord, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes. Translated from KJV

When reading the Old Testament one must recognize the fact that our Lord sees the end from the beginning.

As we look into the New Testament we understand the Old Testament.

The name that has been profaned is the name of Jesus whom the God of the Old Testament has chosen for Himself .

We see this clearly as there is no other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved .

When we address the Holy Spirit in us. Who is also The Majesty on high, we refer to Him as Jesus .

Secular Humanists have proclaimed this 'the post-christian era'. In so doing they have fulfilled this prophecy. And in so doing they will be destroyed on the Day Of Wrath.

But this verse says that we (believers) also have profaned the Name Of Jesus. How so? By refusing to call Him MughtyGodx Everlasting Father and the one and only Saviour of the world.

Our Lord is depending on us to sanctify Him before the heathen. We do this by proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ to every creature .

438

So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.

439

Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto you, Are you come to take a spoil? have you gathered your company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?

440

And you shall come from your place out of the north parts, you, and many people with you, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army:

441

For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;

442

And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.

443

And I will turn you back, and put hooks into your jaws, and I will bring you forth, and all your army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:

444

And, you son of man, thus says the Lord; Speak unto every feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that you may eat flesh, and drink blood. Translated from KJV

445

Then the spirit took me up, and I heard behind me a voice of a great rushing, saying, Blessed be the glory of the Lord from his place.

446

I heard also the noise of the wings of the living creatures that touched one another, and the noise of the wheels over against them, and a noise of a great rushing.

447

I saw also the height of the house round about: the foundations of the side chambers were a full reed of six great cubits.

448

And from the bottom upon the ground even to the lower settle shall be two cubits, and the breadth one cubit; and from the lesser settle even to the greater settle shall be four cubits, and the breadth one cubit.

449

And it shall come to pass, that the fishers shall stand upon it from Engedi even unto Eneglaim; they shall be a place to spread forth nets; their fish shall be according to their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, exceeding many.

450

And this shall be the border of the land toward the north side, from the great sea, the way of Hethlon, as men go to Zedad;

451

And the south side southward, from Tamar even to the waters of strife in Kadesh, the river to the great sea. And this is the south side southward.

452

611

And burned the house of the Lord, and the king's house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, and all the houses of the great men, burned he with fire:

612

As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore they are become great, and waxed rich.

613

I will get me unto the great men, and will speak unto them; for they have known the way of the Lord, and the judgment of their Lord: but these have altogether broken the yoke, and burst the bonds. Translated from KJV

614

O you children of Benjamin, gather yourselves to flee out of the midst of Jerusalem, and blow the trumpet in Tekoa, and set up a sign of fire in Bethhaccerem: for evil appears out of the north, and great destruction.

For from the least of them even unto the greatest of them every one is given to covetousness; and from the prophet even unto the priest every one deals falsely.

616

Thus says the Lord, Behold, a people comes from the north country, and a great nation shall be raised from the sides of the earth.

625

If I rejoiced because my wealth was great, and because mine hand had gotten much;

626

Did I fear a great multitude, or did the contempt of families terrify me, that I kept silence, and went not out of the door?

651

My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.

Eternal Security is ours by the finished work of Christ, the authority of the Lord's Word and the power of the Holy Spirit.

652

Truly, truly, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him.

653

Truly, truly, I say unto you, He that believes on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

This is one of the most ignored things that Jesus said. Why? Because we choose to be believers only. We resist becoming disciples.

Disciples follow their master in His footsteps learning from Him and imitating Him.

Jesus is telling us that we are to spread the Gospel, heal the sick, set captives free and make disciples of all men.

We can only do this by the power of the Holy Spirit operating in a vessel with the Mind Of Christ.

You have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If you loved me, you would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Holy Spirit Father is greater than I. Translated from KJV

Do we grasp the implication of what Jesus is saying here?
He is saying that if we really love someone, we will rejoice when they go to the Father.
Why?       Because the Father is greater than anything on earth.

To begrudge a person going to be with the Father is selfish and unloving.

Since the Holy Spirit is the Spirit Of Christ, Jesus is talking about leaving the confines of his human physical body and returning to the Spirit Realm (heaven) where His Holy Spirit and His glory are most evident.

655

Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

The proof of love is sacrifice.

656

Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.

Christians should go into the world expecting resistance. To not do so is simply foolish setting the naive believer up to be offended and unfruitful.

657

Jesus answered, You could have no power at all against me, except it were given you from above: therefore he that delivered me unto you has the greater sin.

662

The Holy Spirit shows us things and then we are to do them by His power.

663

In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.

664

But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father has given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father has sent me.

678

And he prayed unto the Lord, and said, I pray you, O Lord, was not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I fled before unto Tarshish: for I knew that you are a gracious the Lord, and compassionate, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repent you of the evil. Translated from KJV

Our Lord is disappointed when we are foolish, weak, unbelieving and disobedient.

The law of God contains both blessing and cursing in it. Obedience brings the blessing while rebellion brings the curse.

To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.

765

But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land;

766

And he arose out of the synagogue, and entered into Simon's house. And Simon's wife's mother was taken with a great fever; and they besought him for her.

767

But so much the more went there a fame abroad of him: and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by him of their infirmities.

The fame corresponded to faith.

768

And Levi made him a great feast in his own house: and there was a great company of publicans and of others that sat down with them.

769

And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net broke.

Jesus had told them to cast nets. The one net could not hold the catch,

770

And he came down with them, and stood in the plain, and the company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all Judaea and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, which came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases;

Jesus left the towns where unbelief reigned to go to the sea shore, mountains and, in this case, the plains to escape the unbelievers so that healings and miracles could be done.

771

Rejoice you in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.

The Lord has special blessings in store for those who suffer for Christ's sake.

772

But love you your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and you shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.

This is only possible by the love of the Lord in you.

773

But he that hears, and does not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.

An unbeliever will be unstable.

774

And there came a fear on all: and they glorified the Lord, saying, That a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That the Lord has visited his people. Translated from KJV

Unfortunately, fear instead of faith is the human reaction to the supernatural.

775

For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. Translated from KJV

I believe that 'least' had to do with the scope of John's message. It was a message of repentance or The Judgment. The Gospel of Grace Through Faith is the message of the Kingdom Of God.

776

When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned him about, and said unto the people that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.

What Jesus was looking for in the Jews He foind in the Roman gentile.

777

Then the whole multitude of the country of the Gadarenes round about besought him to depart from them; for they were taken with great fear: and he went up into the ship, and returned back again.

The status quo is better than the supernatural to many people including many Christians.

778

Return to your own house, and show how great things the Lord has done unto you. And he went his way, and published throughout the whole city how great things Jesus had done unto him. Translated from KJV

He became a witness for Christ.

779

Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest.

CarbalMinded bickering.

780

And said unto them, Whoever shall receive this child in my name receives me: and whoever shall receive me receives him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great.

We must operate in love in order to be received.

781

For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same my name shall be great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense shall be offered unto my name, and a pure offering: for my name shall be great among the heathen, says the Lord of hosts.

782

But cursed be the deceiver, which has in his flock a male, and vows, and sacrifices unto the Lord a corrupt thing: for I am a great King, says the Lord of hosts, and my name is dreadful among the heathen.

783

Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord: Anchored to Act 2:20

The Day Of The Lord begins with Rapture followed by the Day Of Wrath which will be poured out from above by Jesus who appears in the sky at His Return.

784

And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions.

He apparently wanted what the Lord had but not the Lord Himself.

785

But Jesus called them to him, and says unto them, You know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them.

Another lesson. This time on how the Lord grants position.

786

But so shall it not be among you: but whoever will be great among you, shall be your minister:

Service is what the Lord is looking for in our performance.

787

And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the highway side begging.

788

And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, You son of David, have kindness on me.

Persistence and determination results in victory.

789

He is not the Lord of the dead, but the Lord of the living: you therefore do greatly err. Translated from KJV

And that settles that.

790

And the second is like, namely this, You shall love your neighbour as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these.

This is not the second commandment but it is second in importance.

791

Which devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater damnation.

But they gather their wealth by taking advantage of the weak.

792

And Jesus answering said unto him, See you these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

Jesus is speaking of the destruction of Jerusalem that will happen 40 years later.

793

And then shall they see the Son Of Man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.

Jesus will appear in glorious light just as the natural sources of light dim.

794

And immediately, while he yet spoke, comes Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.

They come in force to take the lamb.

795

And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great.

see Crucifixion Week for details.

796

And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.

Preparation is critical for success in any effort. Before Jesus started His ministry He went into the wilderness and fasted 40 days during which time the Holy Spirit and the angels ministered to Him in preparation for the work. But it was also necessary to prepare for each individual day as well.

797

But Jesus withdrew himself with his disciples to the sea: and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judaea,

Jesus left the areas of the Synagogue and Temple which were ruled by unbelievers and went to the seaside where He could preach and teach freely to those who had faith.

798

And from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea, and from beyond Jordan; and they about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they had heard what great things he did, came unto him.

The Gospel of Grace Through Faith draws people of all walks because it is about the love and mercy of the Lord.

799

And he began again to teach by the sea side: and there was gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he entered into a ship, and sat in the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land.

The true Gospel of Christ Jesus will draw the masses.

800

But when it is sown, it grows up, and becomes greater than all herbs, and shoots out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.

The Kingdom Of God is intended to manifest in each of us. It has come to us through the Truth of the Word and the Truth and power of the Holy Spirit. We are commanded to preach the Gospel of Truth to every creature and thereby see the Lord's will done on earth through men as it is in heaven.

801

And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.

802

And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.

A simple command from the Commander In Chief and nature responds.

Jesus did not do this just to prove that He could. He did it as an example to the disciples, how that they should assume the authority He had given them and exercise dominion over the earth, including nature.

The very next verse tells us that Jesus expected His disciples to operate in faith to deal with all the issues of life.

803

Now there was there near unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding.

804

Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but says unto him, Go home to your friends, and tell them how great things the Lord has done for you, and has had compassion on you.

We must spend time with Christ to be prepared, but we must also share what Christ has done for us with others in order to give freely what we have freely received.

805

And he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him: and all men did marvel.

The Testimony Of Jesus Christ is the Spirit of prophecy. The former demoniac is now a witness for Christ Jesus.

806

And besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter lies at the point of death: I pray you, come and lay your hands on her, that she may be healed; and she shall live.

Jairus believed that Jesus could heal his daughter.

807

And he comes to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and sees the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly.

Human sorrow and compassion touches the heart of our Lord.

808

And straightway the damsel arose, and walked; for she was of the age of twelve years. And they were astonished with a great astonishment.

Immediately life returns to her body at the command of the King. The faithful and the unbelievers are all astonished at this miracle.

809

And he charged them that they should tell no man: but the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal they published it;

Jesus' celebrity status was creating a frenzy in the populace. So, Jesus tried to keep the people under control by suppressing some of the testimonies. He wanted to finish His work of ministry before He took on His role as sacrificial lamb.

810

In those days the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples unto him, and says unto them,

Here is the second instance of a natural human need being met in abundance and excess.

811

And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the scribes questioning with them.

The scribes were trying to obtain evidence against Jesus from His disciples.

812

And straightway all the people, when they beheld him, were greatly amazed, and running to him saluted him.

But the people came running to Jesus because they knew He was of the Holy Spirit.

813

But they held their peace: for by the way they had disputed among themselves, who should be the greatest.

Here we have men who have been given power to heal and exorcise and yet they are so immature spiritually that they are concerned about who is the 'best' among them.

814

Truly I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there has not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

John the Baptist never experienced the New Birth in his lifetime. Those who enter the Kingdom Of Heaven have been born of the Word and Holy Spirit and have become citizens of heaven. They are seated with Christ in Heavenly Places. John died, went to paradise and received the testimony of Jesus there.

The Kingdom Of Heaven is motivated by the Holy Spirit who issues from the Spirit Realm into the Physical Realm.

815

But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from there: and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all;

Jesus avoided immediate destruction by leaving. Believers followed Him and were healed.

816

The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and, behold, a greater than Jonah is here.

Relative guilt is an important thing for Christ. Previous generations received varying degrees of warning which they ignored suffering the judgment of the Lord. The people that heard Jesus and saw Him perform healings and miracles have received the ultimate witness and in rejection of that witness have the greater guilt and will receive more severe judgment.

817

The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here. Anchored to Mat 12:41

see note from

818

But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the temple.

Jesus is the Lord, greater than the Law and greater than the Temple.

819

And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that he went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.

820

Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.

Pure faith (no unbelief) does not need to be large but it does need to be rock solid. If it is, it will produce a tree that will bless many people.

821

Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.

Jesus is the Pearl Of Great Price and it takes all that one has to purchase Him.

822

And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.

It was the compassion that Jesus had which enabled Him to heal their sick.

Compassion is love in action.

823

Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is your faith: be it unto you even as you will. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.

When Jesus honored her great faith with words her daughter was made whole. She actually willed her daughter to be made whole by her faith in Christ Jesus. All Jesus did was acknowledge what had happened.

824

And great multitudes came unto him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them down at Jesus' feet; and he healed them:

The multitudes came to Him. This is a critical point. Their coming was an act of faith. Their casting the sick and maimed at Jesus's feet was committed faith. Jesus always responds to faith.

825

And his disciples say unto him, Where should we have so much bread in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude?

They had already forgotten about the other mass feeding.

826

At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

Striving for mastery. Concerned about rank. This is the evidence of pride.

827

Whoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

true humility results in being exalted by the Lord.

828

And great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there.

Those who come to Jesus receive what they need.

829

But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.

Commitment requires denying oneself for the things of the Lord.

830

But Jesus called them unto him, and said, You know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them.

This is the way of the world.

831

But it shall not be so among you: but whoever will be great among you, let him be your minister;

service is the mark of a godly leader. Positions in the kingdom are positions of service.

832

And as they departed from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.

More people coming to Jesus to receive healing and deliverance. Jesus meets the needs of those who come to Him.

833

And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way.

Crucifixion Week

834

Master, which is the great commandment in the law?

The pharisees were still seething because of the worship Jesus received from the multitude when He entered jerusalem.

835

This is the first and great commandment.

We cannot love by commandment. We can only love by the gift of love which comes in and through the indwelling Holy Spirit.

Jesus commanded the rich young ruler to try to live up to this in and of himself knowing that he could not.

Jesus came to set the performance bar so high that all of us would fail and recognize our need for His Grace.

836

But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.

When a Christian is placed in a position of leadership they are actually receiving a heavier responsibility of service and accountability.

837

Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore you shall receive the greater damnation.

Religious pretense is an abomination.

838

You fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifies the gold?

Only the Spiritual Minded individuals sees into the Kingdom Of Heaven. The Carnal Minded see only the Physical Realm.

839

You fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifies the gift?

Spiritual Minded is life. Carnal Minded is death.

840

For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

This begins His answer to the question: 'What is the sign of your coming?'

The Great Tribulation will make travel and commerce difficult. Especially for those who have not received the mark, name or number of the beast.

841

For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

Signs and wonders should not be followed as there will be satanically empowered false christs and prophets going after those In Christ.

842

And then shall appear the sign of the Son Of Man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son Of Man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. Anchored to Rev 1:7

843

And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of the Lord: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. -

844

And while he yet spoke, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people.

And he answered him to never a word; insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly.

Crucifixion Week

846

Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of the Holy Spirit. Translated from KJV

An honest heart, one with a Love Of The Truth, will be swayed by the evidence of the Truth.

This centurion heard the claims of Jesus, the accusations against Him, the words of Jesus as He hung on the cross and saw the upheaval in nature. He drew the right conclusion.

847

And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed.

Crucifixion Week

848

And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.

Crucifixion Week

849

And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.

When we have a testimony that goes against Political Correctness we have to deal with fear of retribution. But in that fear we should allow joy to overwhelm and comfort us.

850

When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.

851

In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.

More prophesy about the Christ being fulfilled.

852

The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.

Jesus is the embodiment of the prophetic Word Of The Lord. He understood His calling and was obedient even to the death of the cross.

853

And there followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judaea, and from beyond Jordan.

They followed to see the show and eat the loaves and fishes. In the end they all forsook Him.

854

Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

It is an honor to be persecuted for Christ's sake and we ought to thank and praise the Lord for the privilege.

855

Whoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

The law defines the Lord's moral standards. As New Creatures we have that law written in our hearts. Whether it is on stones or in our hearts or whether man chooses to ignore it, it is still the Law Of God by which man will be judged.

Christ created new law which superceded the original law. It is the law of Grace Through Faith.

856

Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.

As a human being we have no authority to invoke power that is not ours.

857

But if your eye be evil, your whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you be darkness, how great is that darkness!

An evil eye is one that entertains evil. When evil appears it does not avert but gazes.

If you allow darkness to be your focus you will become evil. It is inevitable.

858

And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

Nothing will stand except that which is rooted in Christ Jesus. Only the seed of His Word can produce a plant with roots in the Lord Jesus. All other seed produces roots that are incapable of withstanding the storm.

859

When he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him.

They were amazed at His teaching and the healings and miracles that He performed.

860

When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Truly I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.

Faith with no unbelief results in the power of the Lord being released.

861

Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave commandment to depart unto the other side.

The physical demand on Christ caused Him to steal away at times for refreshing.

862

And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep.

Jesus was not perturbed by a disruption in the natural elements.

863

And he says unto them, Why are you fearful, O you of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.

Fear is a sign of weakness and results in defeat. Fear is a manifestation of unbelief.

Nature is subject to man going all the way back to the eden . Jesus demonstrated that dominion.

864

I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of you; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as the flock in the midst of their fold: they shall make great noise by reason of the multitude of men.

865

And he shall stand and feed in the strength of the Holy Spirit, in the majesty of the name of the Lord Almighty; and they shall abide: for now shall he be great unto the ends of the earth. Anchored to Phi 2:9

And He ( Jesus) shall stand and in the strength of His Holy Spirit, in The Majesty of the name ( Jesus) of His Holy Spirit who is God .

Jesus, the body and soul of the Holy Spirit, will reign forever. All will come to bow down before Him.

866

That they may do evil with both hands earnestly, the prince asks, and the judge asks for a reward; and the great man, he utters his mischievous desire: so they wrap it up.

867

886

889

And all the congregation of them that were come again out of the captivity made booths, and sat under the booths: for since the days of Jeshua the son of Nun unto that day had not the children of Israel done so. And there was very great gladness.

Translated from KJV

Unbelief, Self Will

989

The princes of the people are gathered together, even the people of the Lord of Abraham: for the shields of the earth belong unto the Lord: he is greatly exalted. Translated from KJV

Abraham worshipped pre-incarnate Christ Jesus. There is not a the Lord of the Old Testament and a the Lord of the New Testament. There is only one deity and His name is Jesus.

Jesus is the Truth about deity. The Old Testament understanding and representation of the Lord was deficient and often confused based on human ignorance.

In Judah is the Lord known: his name is great in Israel. Translated from KJV

judaism was far from the Lord from its inception. There was a distance between the Lord and the Jews which they did not want to close. But as is true with all religions, they had a false feeling of being 'right' or being in good standing with the Lord.

The Old Covenant has been supplanted by the New Covenant because the Old Covenant resulted in the people NOT knowing the Lord. They knew His moral code but they did not know Him in His love.

When Jesus returns all on earth will know Him.

1004

Your way, O Lord, is holiness: who is so great a god as our Lord? Anchored to Rom 3:22

1010

You feed them with the bread of tears; and give them tears to drink in great measure.

For you are great, and do wondrous things: you are the Lord alone. Translated from KJV

He is above all and in us all who have received Him. He is the Lord Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth.

We have victory in Him who is blessed forevermore.

1013

The Lord is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him. Translated from KJV

That fact that our Creator
   → created us for His pleasure,
   → suffered and died for our sins
   → has taken His abode in us

O Lord, how great are your works! and your thoughts are very deep.

We are beneficiaries of our magnificent Heavenly Father.

And after three days and an half life from the Holy Spirit entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them. Translated from KJV

Two last miracles from the witnesses as a testimony against the antichrist and his followers. They rise from the dead.

1020

And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up here. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.

And the last miracle is that they ascend into heaven.

1021

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 frightened, and gave glory to the Lord of heaven. Translated from KJV

The remnant are likely the Jewish believers - converts from the two witnesses.

1022

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.

This is in fulfilment of our Lord's instruction for us to pray that the Lord's will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Many Christians push back on dominionism but the fact is that Christ is already king of kings and Lord of lords. All power in heaven and earth has already been given to Him.
He left us in charge of His property until He returns. We are His stewards and should already be ruling the nations as the head and not the tail.

1023

Saying, We give you thanks, O Lord Almighty, who is, and was, and is to come; because you have taken to you your great power, and have reigned. Translated from KJV

And the nations were angry, and your wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that you should give reward unto your servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear your name, small and great; and should destroy them which destroy the earth.

Satan is a rebel. So is every man who rejects Christ Jesus as Saviour and Lord.

Accordingly they hate the Lord becauses He thwarts their self-serving plans.

The reality is that man without the Lord is a destroyer of the earth and the people in it. As a result, the destroyers are themselves destroyed.

1025

And the temple of the Lord 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. Translated from KJV

The Spirit Realm (heaven) is not generally visible from the Physical Realm. This may be just a part of John's vision or it may in fact represent the appearance of heaven to physical eyes.

1026

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.

1027

And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:

This is likely israel with the man-child being the 144000 Jewish converts.

1028

Therefore rejoice, you heavens, and you that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has but a short time.

Satan has no spiritual power. His only power is to lie and deceive.

But though he is reduced, his anger and wiles make a formidable front against humanity.

1029

And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.

Those with the Seal Of God will be protected during the Great Tribulation - 3 1/2 years.

1030

And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.

Satan comes against israel who is now turning to Christ Jesus.

1031

And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceives the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

Satan is reduced to fighting his last battle in the Physical Realm through the beast and his ideology.

1032

And he does great wonders, so that he makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,

This is a false miracle. It will be done with technology but it will be effective in deceving the gullible.

1033

And he causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

This will enable digital identification of each person in the system implemented by a microscopic chip implant.

1034

And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.

The amalgamation of parts from different animals speaks to the globalist nature of his support. He is empowered by the nations and people who have come under the influence of the Spirit Of Antichrist. Once he is seated Satan will sanction and empower him to destroy humanity.

1035

And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.

The beast will be a great orator unencumbered by truth so that he lies and blasphemes with impunity and great effect. But, he will only be in power for 3 1/2 years.

1036

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 the Lord. Translated from KJV

This is the Day Of Wrath.

1037

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:

At the end of the Day Of Wrath there will be great rejoicing on earth and in heaven.

1038

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.

Who is Babylon?

→ She is the great power on earth. She is the power of wealth. She is the world financial system that has been leveraged to destroy Christianity.

1039

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 the Lord. Translated from KJV

Those plagues will be poured out in one day - the Day Of Wrath

1040

And they sing the song of Moses the servant of the Lord, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are your works, Lord Almighty; just and true are your ways, you King of saints. Translated from KJV

This is just the beginning of an eternity of love, joy and peace in the presence of our the Lord.

1041

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 the Lord upon the earth. Translated from KJV

The command is given to reap the tares, bind them and burn them.

1042

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.

The waters that normally flow dry up.

1043

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 the Lord Almighty. Translated from KJV

Those demons were the inspiration for their evil deeds and intent to thwart the plan of the Lord.

1044

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.

Enough. Resistance against the Lord is futile.

1045

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.

The earth shakes as Christ Jesus speaks destruction upon the enemy.

1046

And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before the Lord, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. Translated from KJV

Not only are the human enemies destroyed but also the institutions that they devised to hurt mankind.

1047

And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed the Lord because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great. Translated from KJV

destruction rains upon the beast and his followers from all directions.

1048

And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of the Lord, which has power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory. Translated from KJV

Same thing happened with Pharoah - stubborn hard-heartedness.

1049

And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come here; I will show unto you the judgment of the great whore that sits upon many waters:

Babylon The Harlot is described in this chapter.

1050

And the woman which you saw is that great city, which reigns over the kings of the earth.

'That great city' represents the seat of world power.

The real world power is Commerce. A harlot sells her body for money.

The love of money is the root of all evil.

Rome was once that city. London was that city for a while. New York has recently been that city but that city is transitioning to a new locale: Beijing?

1051

And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

Babylon the great is the Spirit Of Antichrist - and his kingdom - which leads people to reject the Truth of the Lord under the guise of good which deception results in all manner of abominations.

The woman is deceived by the Spirit Of Antichrist and so does Satan's bidding.

1052

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.

Women produce new humans. But this woman is a destroyer of life while claiming to produce life. She is guilty of abortion and destroying believers.

Her powers of deception are so great that even John admires her.

1053

And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.

This angel heralds the fall of the world system headed by the beast.

1054

Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is your judgment come.

When the stock market crashes all those whose livelihoods depend on it are devastated. What we see here is a global crash of the unified world financial system.

1055

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!

We see how they worshipped her.

1056

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,

A global economy is a set up for a global collapse. Those who are building the global economy are foolish not to see the risk.

1057

And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!

It was truly amazing but now it is dust.

1058

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.

Again, we see the world worshipping the global economy and world financial system that it empowered.

1059

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.

Corrupt men corrup everything they touch. At the time of the end man has corrupted every system.

1060

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.

There will be no world financial system in the Millennial Kingdom.

1061

And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in you; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in you: for your merchants were the great men of the earth; for by your sorceries were all nations deceived.

Our current administration (Biden) is practicing sorcery by insituting policies that are touted as good while in reality they are self-destructive.

1062

And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto our Lord Jesus Christ: Translated from KJV

represent a view of the glory and joy that results from our Lord's return. The calling to the Marriage Supper is the rapture that occurs as soon as the Lord appears in the sky and the last trump is blasted.

describe the Day Of Wrath that immediately unfolds as soon as the bride is taken up from the earth.

1063

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 Lord; Translated from KJV

The Lord created many of the insects, birds and animals to clean the earth of refuse. In the aftermath of the Day Of Wrath there is much cleanup to be done.

1064

That you 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.

Total annihilation of the rebellious will occur at His return.

1065

For true and righteous are his judgments: for he has judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and has avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.

Judgment by the Lord brings justice to the injured and punishment to the wicked. This occurs on the Day Of Wrath also referred to as the Day Of The Lord also referred to as the Return Of Christ.

1066

And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our Lord, all you his servants, and you that fear him, both small and great. Translated from KJV

Sometimes we need to be reminded of what is good for us. There is nothing better for us than to praise the Lord for all His many blessings and His character that produces those blessings.

1067

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 omnipotent reigns. Translated from KJV

The Lord reigns in fact after the end of man's reign here on earth. And that is something to rejoice about.

1068

I was in the Holy Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, Translated from KJV

John was worshipping in the Holy Spirit - possibly praying in tongues when he experienced the revelation.

1069

And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.

The key will turn the lock that binds Satan in the pit.

1070

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.

This is The Judgment, the White Throne Judgment in which all those whose names are not in the Book Of Life will stand.

1071

And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before the Lord; 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. Translated from KJV

Jesus is Lord. He will judge the quick and the dead. He holds all authority in heaven and earth.

All those who died having rejected Christ Jesus as Saviour and Lord will stand before Him to be sentenced to the Lake Of Fire.

Here is a sad reality: No one can be saved by works. Hence all these people are doomed.

1072

And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from the Lord, Translated from KJV

She is the body of Christ which is symbolically represented as the New Jerusalem.

1073

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:

Twelve angels will stand at the gates of the city, the body of Christ.

1074

And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of the Lord is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and the Lord himself shall be with them, and be their Lord. Translated from KJV

Is this our future or our present or both? It is both

Each of us have a body and that body is the temple of the Holy Spirit .
We are bought with the price of Jesus' blood .
We are now Sons Of The Holy Spirit .

But, we have not yet been fully redeemed. Our Spirit is new, but our soul and body are waiting for redemption which will occur at His appearing.

At Jesus' return we will see the perfect fulfillment of this prophecy. Our faith will then be sight as we see Him face to face

Until then, walk in newness of life in the Holy Spirit and the Word by faith .

1075

Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.

Those who continue to follow the spirit of Jezebel will be cast into the Great Tribulation.

LGBTQ and transgenderism are aspects of the spirit of Jezebel.

1076

And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;

It is now toward the End Of The Age. The signs in the sky portend the close of day and the beginning of another. The Kingdom Of God is about to come in power.

1077

And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;

Why do they hide from Christ Jesus?
   → They have knowing and wilfully rejected Him.
   → They have knowingly and willingly given themselves over to worship Satan, the first and greatest rebel against the Lord.

1078

For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

The Day Of Wrath occurs at the return of Jesus. After He has gathered the dead and living believers into the air with Him, He will speak words of destruction upon those that have worshipped the beast and aligned themselves with Satan.

1079

And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.

Because there will be some nations resisting the globalist Antichrist Kingdom the antichrist will send his minister of war to put down those rebellious nations.

1080

And I said unto him, Sir, you know. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

Our robes are white by the blood of the lamb. Standing true to the testimony of Jesus Christ is all we can do be acceptable.

During the Great Tribulation there will be enormous pressure on believers to deny Christ Jesus. Some will deny Him to their doom . Those that remain true to Christ will likely be martyred for their faith .

1081

After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;

So, before the Day Of Wrath we are caught up to be with Him in the air.

Are we in heaven or are we in the air at this point?
To be in the presence of Christ who sits on the throne is to be in heaven.

1082

And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;

1083

And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood;

1084

Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.

Satan speaks to the angel who has bound his four rebellious angels commanding they be released.

The garden of Eden was in the Tigris Euphrates valley. It is likely these four ranking followers of Lucifer have been bound there for 6000 years only to be released upon the very men whom their master has deceived.

The release of these demons comes by man's authority as he resists the Lord and gives worship to Satan.

1085

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.

1086

But now having no more place in these parts, and having a great desire these many years to come unto you;

Wow, Paul had gone to every town!

1087

That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart.

Paul's burden for israel is heavy.

1088

As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.

1089

Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the Lord Almighty even our Saviour Jesus Christ; Translated from KJV

When Jesus returns He will complete redemption by translating our soul and body (which are currently corrupted and corruptible) into incorruptible .

When will this happen?
At the End Of The Age of Grace Through Faith and the Great Tribulation.

At His return Jesus will
   → translate us
   → destroy every Child Of Satan
   → establish the Millennial Kingdom .

It is interesting that this verse in KJV says 'the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ' will appear.
Does that mean we will see two beings?
Why doesn't use the phrase 'and every eye will see THEM'?

Answer: Jesus is our great God.
The correct translation is found in the Jesus Bible Version as shown here.

1090

In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem, as the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon.

1091

And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the Lord shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour.

There willbe worldwide chaos as the children of Satan are terrified at the appearing of the Lord.

1092

And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the heathen round about shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and apparel, in great abundance.

The focus and hotspot of the battle between the forces of Satan and our Lord will be Jerusalem.

1093

And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.

On the day that Jesus returns:
   → the dead in Christ are raised and translated
   → the living in Christ are translated
   → both are caught up into the air with Jesus
   → the Day Of Wrath is unleashed upon the earth
   → at the end of that day, Jesus sets foot on the Mount of Olives
   → the Millennial Kingdom is established.

1094

So the angel that communed with me said unto me, Cry you, saying, Thus says the Lord of hosts; I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy.

1095

Who are you, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it.

1096

Yes, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words which the Lord of hosts has sent in his spirit by the former prophets: therefore came a great wrath from the Lord of hosts.

1097

Thus says the Lord of hosts; I was jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I was jealous for her with great fury.

1098

For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty! corn shall make the young men cheerful, and new wine the maids.

1099

Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, your King comes unto you: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.

1100

And it shall come to pass in that day, says the Lord, that there shall be the noise of a cry from the fish gate, and an howling from the second, and a great crashing from the hills.

1101

The great day of the Lord is near, it is near, and hastens greatly, even the voice of the day of the Lord: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly. Anchored to Act 2:20
