18For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 19And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. – Revelation 22:18-19 KJV
Reverence is called for as we revisit the prophecy of Revelation. The way that reverence will be maintained through this section is by focusing primarily on scripture. Verses will be grouped together based on the message of God to His children and Christ to His disciples.
God is consistent and so is His word. Through our study, we have reflected on the way God has established an ordering of events for the last days that is consistent throughout His verses. By using God’s word and in many cases only God’s word, this section will bring together His alignment of events and details.
A list of scriptures to be studied in this section is below:
Revelation
- Chapters 6-11 gives the foundation and order of events to come with the breaking of 7 seals and sounding of God’s 7 trumpets as the last days on earth play out.
- Chapters 12-14 give additional detail regarding activities included in some of the events occurring during the breaking of the seals and the blowing of the trumpets.
- Chapters 15-16 details the 7 vials of God’s wrath to be poured out on all creation.
- Chapters 17-18 brings additional detail regarding the whore, Babylon, which will rule all nations, the outpouring of God’s wrath upon her, and the finale when Jesus Christ will overcome on earth.
- Chapter 19 gives additional details of Christ’s final battle against the beast.
- Chapter 20 details Christ’s reign on earth for 1,000 years.
Daniel
- Daniel 7:17-28
- Daniel 8:13-27
- Daniel 9:27
- Daniel 11:21-35
- Daniel 12:1-12
Jesus Words in the Gospels
- Matthew 24:4-31
- Mark 13:5-27
- Luke 21:8-28
The following sections will begin with Revelation Seal 1 and conclude with Revelation 20, Christ’s reign of 1,000 years. Verses from the prophecies of Daniel and Jesus words according to the Gospels will be collated into that sequence of events.
At times, verses may be summarized or excerpts used for the sake of space. Appendix E – Revelation Seals, Trumpets and Vials provides the KJV translation of Revelation 6-20 for ease of reading God’s direct word in totality.
Similar to Appendix D – Jesus’ Words in the Gospels reflecting the concatenation of Christ’s words, Appendix F – Daniel Prophetic Scriptures has been created to align the prophetic words in Daniel
Take time to read God’s word directly, ensuring you are listening with spiritual ears and not just blindly accepting another’s presentation of His word. God’s word is the only true and perfect source!
Refresh your memory of what God has spoken to you throughout the study before moving forward by rereading and reviewing any notes made regarding the scriptures of focus from Revelation, Daniel and the Gospels.
Before we continue, let’s take a moment to pray together.
Father,
Please guide our spirits as we study your word. Call out in our hearts any discrepancies that do not align to your messages for us. May our time spent with You during this study glorify You and You alone.
Thank You for Your patience with us as we learn and gain Your wisdom. May we be given insight into what we as last days saints of the One True God should be focusing on as we prepare our hearts, minds and spirits for the last days prophesied of in Your Word from Revelation, Daniel and Jesus Christ in the Gospels.
To You and You alone be glorified, dear Lord.
In Jesus Christ’s name we pray,
Amen.
