Re: (CS4U) Fwd: Fw: Your Bible Study, Paul

Great study, Paul.  I never connected the plagues in Egypt as precursors to the pouring out of the bowls in Revelation.   Thanks! pk    -------Original Message-------   From: Paul Overlin Date: 11/16/2010 5:33:43 AM To: christian_singles_4u@googlegroups.com Subject: (CS4U) Fwd: Fw: Your Bible Study, Paul             This Lesson is Especially for: Paul Overlin       Now Paul, the Greek word for Revelation is 'apokalupsis'   pronounced "Apocalypse," meaning [ to unveil or uncover.]         So before we begin let me assure you there is Nothing to fear   for those who are redeemed or saved!   After all, it is written;   in [ Rev 7:2-4 Then I saw another angel ascending from the east,   having the seal of the living God. And he cried with a loud voice to   the four angels to whom it was granted to harm the earth and the   sea,  saying, "Do not harm the earth, the sea, or the trees till we   have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads."   For it   is also written; [ Luke 21:18 But not a hair of your head shall be   lost,] because God's Children will be protected by that seal!       Further Paul, it is written in Psalms;  Psalm 91:7-12; 7 A thousand may fall at your side, And ten thousand at your right    hand; But it shall not come near you. 8 Only with your eyes shall you look ,And see the reward of the wicked. 9 Because you have made the LORD, who is my refuge, Even the Most High, your dwelling place, 10 No evil shall befall you, Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling; 11 For He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you in all your ways. 12 In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone. ( Ps 91:7-12 ) So there is NOTHING TO FEAR about the events that are   written in these lessons, for those who are saved!                    _____________________________                                 Revelation, Chapter 16  16:1 Then I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the seven  angels, "Go and pour out the bowls of the wrath of God on the  earth."       The loud voice from the Temple is voice of God, because       no other Heavenly Being is allowed into the Temple until       the seven seals, trumpets, and bowls are completed!         2 So the first went and poured out his bowl upon the earth, and a  foul and loathsome sore came upon the men who had the mark of  the beast and those who worshiped his image.       The first bowl causes a terrible sore upon all who have       the mark of the beast ( Rev 16:13; 16 & 17 ).  Think       back to Exodus now where the Egyptians faced a       similar affliction during the sixth plague of Exodus.       ( see Exodus 9:9; 10; & 11 )  3 Then the second angel poured out his bowl on the sea, and it  became blood as of a dead man; and every living creature in the sea  died.       The second bowl turns the sea into blood.  Note that        the second trumpet likewise turns the sea to blood.       ( see Rev  8:8 )  The trumpet starts by affecting one       third of the sea, ( Rev 8:8-9 ).  Now the bowl       completes this judgment regarding the final two thirds       that are left.       Remember a similar verse in Exodus where the Nile       River is turned to blood?  Ex 7:17-21 )  However this       time the whole World is affected instead of just one       river.  4 Then the third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and springs  of water, and they became blood.       The third bowl, just as the third trumpet ( 8:10 ) targets       the rivers and springs of water.  This indeed will make       the water bitter to say the least. ( 8:11 )       This is an allision to the first Egyptain plague, Exodus 7:20.       It appears that whatever plagues God inflicted on Egypt in       the Book of Exodus, God will inflict on the enimes of His       people in the end times.  You see, Exodus is a preview       of what to expect in the end.  Do not worry however, for       God's Children will be spared these plaguse just as they       were in Egypt in ancient times.  5 And I heard the angel of the waters saying:  "You are righteous, O Lord,  The One who is and who was and who is to be,  Because You have judged these things.  6 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets,  And You have given them blood to drink.  For it is their just due."       Who do you suppose the angel was speaking       about in this verse?  Let us turn to the Book of       Matthew for the answer to that question,       where it is written:   31 "Therefore you are witnesses against yourselves that you are sons   of those who murdered the prophets. 32 Fill up, then, the measure of   your fathers' guilt. 33 Serpents, brood of vipers! How can you escape   the condemnation of hell? 34 Therefore, indeed, I send you prophets,   wise men, and scribes: some of them you will kill and crucify, and   some of them you will scourge in your synagogues and persecute   from city to city, 35 that on you may come all the righteous blood   shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel* to the blood of   Zechariah, son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the temple   and the altar.  ( Matt 23:31-36 )       Now I ask you who killed Abel?  Cain of course, and who       was Cain's father?  Remember our study in Genesis where       we learned  who Cain's father really was? ( see Genesis       Chapters 4-5.)  Thus who Jesus was speaking to here are       the Kenites.  For in Hebrew Kenites mean [ sons of Cain! ]       Strong's Number 7017. Just a little detective work here in       God's Word for those who have eyes to see and ears to hear.       Their Spiritual eyes and ears wide open that is!  7 And I heard another from the altar saying, "Even so, Lord God  Almighty, true and righteous are Your judgments."  8 Then the fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and power  was given to him to scorch men with fire.       This bowl is similar to the fourth trumpet in that it       also affects the sun.  However at this point the sun       is intensified instead of diminished.       "Scorch Men With Fire," remember what is written       about the two witnesses?  Well, I will refresh your       memory.  Now it is written:   3 And I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy   one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth." 4   These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands standing before   the God of the earth. **5 And if anyone wants to harm them, fire   proceeds from their mouth and devours their enemies. And if anyone   wants to harm them, he must be killed in this manner.   ( Rev 11:3-5 )  9 And men were scorched with great heat, and they blasphemed the  name of God who has power over these plagues; and they did not  repent and give Him glory.       Those who are fooled into thinking satan is Jesus will       speak blasphemy against God, still believing that satan       is the true god!  Thus they have the mark of the beast       in their heads.  10 Then the fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the  beast, and his kingdom became full of darkness; and they gnawed  their tongues because of the pain.       The fifth bowl and trumpet involve the Euphrates River.       With the water of the river dried up, an invasion from       the east would be much easier!  This has to do with       demonically inspired military forces.       This refers to satan's world-wide authority. For "satan's       throne" is used to speak of his foothold on the World       at this time.       The pain and sores, remember were spoken of with the       fifth trumpet.  Where the demonic locusts stung those       not having the seal of God in their foreheads, and       causing them great torment.  11 They blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and  their sores, and did not repent of their deeds.  12 Then the sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river  Euphrates, and its water was dried up, so that the way of the kings  from the east might be prepared.              Now on the sixth Trumpet, Seal and Bowl the antichrist       appears.  Antichrist in Greek means "Instead of Christ."       using your Strongs Concordance check out the word       antichrist in the Greek Dictionary, it is number 500.  You       see the antichrist will appear claiming to be Jesus, and       appearing that he is.  This is why the "Rapture Theory"       is so very dangerous.  Those who are ignorant of God's       Word will fall for it and start worshiping the antichrist       thinking that he is the Savior come to rapture them away.       Now if you believe in the "Rapture Theory" check it out       using the Search Engine Google or Yahoo.  Just type in       the word Rapture and click search.  Then click on any       Link and you will find the truth!  13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs coming out of the mouth  of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of  the false prophet.       These "Unclean Spirits," the dragon (satan,)  the beast       (antichrust) and the false prophet will spread the false       authoritative words claiming that it is the word of God.       Satan, the antichrist, and the false prophet are a unholy       trinity indeed!       Now there will be great deception involved, and it will be       used to persuade the whole world to gather for battle       against our God.  Here the kings of the earth are willing       to wage war against the ture God because they have       been fooled into believing in the false god..  14 For they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to  the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the  battle of that great day of God Almighty.       Here the kings of the earth are willing to wage war       against God.  This is because of their confidence       in the power of the beast, since they reason,       "Who is able to make war with him?"  Now how       very soon they will find out!       This is building up to the battle of Armageddon.  15 Behold, I am coming as a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and  keeps his garments, lest he walk naked and they see his shame."       "Coming as a thief in the night," are the words of       Jesus Christ.  For He said:    But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour   the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his   house to be broken into.  Therefore you also be ready, for the Son   of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect. ( Matthew 24:43-44 )       Also it is written:   For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes   as a thief in the night.  ( 1 Thess 5:2 )  16 And they gathered them together to the place called in Hebrew,  Armageddon.       Armageddon in Hebrew means [ Mount of Megiddo ] See 717       in the Greek Dictionary found in the Strong's Concordance.       This will be the final battle between good and evil.  17 Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and a  loud voice came out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying,  "It is done!"       The seventh seal, bowl and trumpet have all sounded       or taken place.  Now this signals Christ's Return which       happens with the Seventh Trumpet, Seal & Bowl, and       Not before!  18 And there were noises and thunderings and lightnings; and there  was a great earthquake, such a mighty and great earthquake as had  not occurred since men were on the earth.  19 Now the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of  the nations fell. And great Babylon was remembered before God, to  give her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath.       Babylon seems to be the epicenter of the most       destructive earthquake.  However the earthquake       it seems will be felt world-wide, wrecking havoc       on the Cities and Nations of the Earth.  20 Then every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.  21 And great hail from heaven fell upon men, each hailstone about  the weight of a talent. Men blasphemed God because of the plague  of the hail, since that plague was exceedingly great.       Hail falling from Heaven with each stone weighing       a talent, or about 180 pounds that is, would be       tremendously destructive indeed!  Just think about       it for a moment, if you can imagine that!       Well with that "hail storm" we now end Chapter Sixteen.  Next week   on to Chapter Seventeen, where we will find a scarlet woman and a   scarlet beast as well.  Now what dose that mean, we will find out   next week.  Until them Paul, may the Grace of God be with   you!   Amen.   All My Love & Prayers,          Pastor Allen  [ Prayer Requests---Contact Us---Bible Study---*Donations* ]     [ Audio---Subscribe---Change of Address---Unsubscribe ]                  at:  http://www.godsminute.org   Apostle Paul Ministries, P O Box 55996, Hayward, CA 94545                   This weekly message sent by request to:                   Paul Overlin <imatj2003@yahoo.com> -- Ecclesiastes 3:11 NIV He has made everything beautiful in its time.
