REVELATIONS CHAPTER XVI.

[1 Seven angels commanded to pour out their vials on the earth; 2 great plagues follow thereupon. 15 Christ cometh suddenly.]

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 God upon the 
earth. 
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. 
3 And the second angel poured out his vial
upon the sea; and every living soul died in the sea. 
4 And the third angel poured out his vial upon the 
rivers and fountains of waters: and they became blood.
5 And I heard the angel of the waters say, 
Thou are righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, 
and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus.
6 For they have shed the blood of the saints and 
prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; 
for they are worthy.
7 And I heard another out of the alter say,
Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous
are thy judgments. 
8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial 
upon the sun; and power was given unto him to 
scorch men with fire. 
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. 
10 And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon 
the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of 
darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain, 
11 And blasphemed the God of heaven, because 
of their pains and their sores, and repented not of 
their deeds. 
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.
13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs
come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the 
mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the 
false prophet.
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 the great day of God Almighty.
15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that 
watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk 
naked, and they see his shame. 
16 And he gathered them together into a place 
called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. 
17 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.
18 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. 
19 And the great city was divided into three parts, 
and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon
came in remembrance before God, to give unto her 
the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. 
20 And every island fled away, and the mountains
were not found. 
21 And there fell upon men a great hail out of 
heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and 
men blasphemed God because of the plague of the 
hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great. 

REVELATIONS CHAPTER XV.

[1 The seven angels with the seven last plagues. 3 The song of them that overcome the beast. 7 The seven vials full of 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 the wrath of God. 
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. 
3 And they sing the song of Moses the servant
of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great 
and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; 
just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints. 
4 Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify
thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations
shall come and worship before thee: for thy judgements
are made manifest. 
5 And after that I looked, and behold, the temple 
of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened:
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. 
7 And one of the four beasts gave unto the 
seven angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of 
God, who liveth for ever and ever. 
8 And the temple was filled with smoke from 
the glory of God, and from his power; and no man
was able to enter into the temple, till the seven 
plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled. 

REVELATION CHAPTER XIV

[1 The Lamb standing on mount Sion with his company, 6 an angel preacheth
the gospel; 8 another proclaimeth the fall of Babylon, 15 the harvest of the world...]

And I looked, and lo, a Lamb stood on the 
mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty
and four thousand, having his Father's name written
in their foreheads. 
2 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: 
3 And they sung as it were a new song before 
the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders:
and no man could learn that song but the 
hundred and forty and four thousand, which were 
redeemed from the earth. 
4 These are they which were not defiled with 
women; for they are virgins. These are they 
which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth
These were redeemed from among men, being
the first-fruits unto God and to the Lamb.
5 And in their mouth was found no guilt: for 
they are without fault before the throne of God. 
6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of 
heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach 
unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every 
nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, 
7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give 
glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come:
and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and 
the sea, and the fountains of waters. 
8 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. 
9 And the third angel followed them, saying 
with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast 
and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, 
or in his hand,
10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath 
of God, which is poured out without mixture into 
the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented 
with fire and brimstone in the presence of 
the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
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. 
12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are
they that keep the commandments of God, and the 
faith of Jesus. 
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 labors; and their works 
do follow them. 
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. 
15 And another angel came out of the temple, 
crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the 
cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time 
is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the 
earth is ripe. 
16 And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his 
sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped. 
17 And another angel came out of the temple 
which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle. 
18 And another angel came out from the altar, 
which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry
to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in 
thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine
of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe. 
19 And the angel thrust in his sickle into the 
earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast 
it into the great wine-press of the wrath of God. 
20 And the wine-press was trodden without the 
city, and blood came out of the wine-press, even 
unto the horse-bridles, by the space of a thousand 
and six hundred furlongs. 

REVELATION CHAPTER XIII.

[A beast riseth out of the sea with seven heads and ten horns. 11 Another 
beast cometh up out of the earth, which supporteth the worship of the 
former beast.]

AND I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw
a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven 
heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, 
and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. 
2 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. 
3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded 
to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and 
all the world wondered after the beast. 
4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave 
power unto the beast: and they worshipped the 
beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is 
able to make war with him? 
5 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. 
6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against 
God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, 
and them that dwell in heaven. 
7 And it was given unto him to make war with 
the saints, and to overcome them: and power was 
given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. 
8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship 
him, whose names are not written in the book of life
of the lamb slain from the foundation of the world. 
9 If any man have an ear, let him hear. 
10 He that leadeth into captivity, shall go into 
captivity: he that killeth with the sword, must be 
killed with the sword. Here is the patience and 
the faith of the saints. 
11 And I beheld another beast coming up out 
of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb, and 
he spake as a dragon. 
12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first 
beast before him, and causeth the earth and them 
which dwell therein to worship the first beast, 
whose deadly wound was healed. 
13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he 
maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth 
in the sight of men. 
14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth 
by the means of those miracles which he had power 
to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that 
dwell on the earth, that they should make an image 
to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and 
did live. 
15 And he had power to give life unto the image 
of the beast, that the image of the beast should both 
speak, and cause that as may as would not worship 
the image of the beast should be killed. 
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich 
and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their 
right hand, or in their foreheads; 
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he 
that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or 
the number of his name. 
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding 
count the number of the beast: for it is 
the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred
threescore and six. 

Keep these Sort of People Away from You

Greetings,

This is a personal writing piece that will later become part of a broader writing project at a later date.

What is important to grasp in this life, is the need to stay away from those people that for some reason you find yourself allowing to come into your life and break you down so low... yes, literally rip your vulnerable heart into shreds.

These people, you will one way or another find, you will encounter numerous and countless times.
But in the end of it all....it is up to you whether they stay...or whether you go...
Because your suffering and depression is something they mentally and sickly enjoy.
They will not want to leave your life...
They will try to manipulate you...
You will feel trapped oftentimes... feeling that fate must have brought this upon you.
But remember that this life will be long suffering, but you not need to submit to it by surrendering to those who reside in the dark.

No, you are much braver, you are an individual, a person who seeks naturally to find the light, to stay in the light, and not lose hope when your faith becomes tested.

You must realize that the stronger you become, the greater the desire of the Evil to try and test you.
The devil laughs in fabricated victory at their wicked ways, the toxic substance of abuse, degradation, and negativity that protrudes from their tongues...

But you know in your heart, this is not who you are. You question why you are allowing yourself to let such persons treat you this way. Just remember... in the end you will have to make a choice.
Do I stay... or Must I go?
Remember, we are not here to CHANGE people, for ONLY they CAN do that.
But to show people the right way, the Righteous way, of love, strength, humility, and endurance.
Do not let these people take your light away...
For these times are bad times, and we all have fallen short of grace...as if it were our birthright...
But wakeup and recognize your purpose, your place, and meaning of life on earth.
Fear and do not Negate back to those who seek to Hurt or Destroy you....
But walk in Wisdom knowing that the Devil is on the prowl, basking in his path of destruction of souls...
But your Life, your Spirit, your Soul and Outcome is based on the decisions and choices you make while presiding here on earth.
Pray for these people...for they know no other way... it is how they protect themselves and their personal insecurities and issues from the rest of the world... Pray that they find their way...for they have wandered astray... their journey will take them a much different way... pray they wake up before it's too late.
These are the heartless, the scavengers, the materialistic-driven, the idolizers, the false prophets, the accusers, unfaithful, the blamers, manipulators, haters, harassers, assaulters, hypocrites, judgers, destroyers, thieves, and liars....
Stay away or let them go from your life.
Remember your own mistakes and misdoings...Remember we all have our judgment day before Our Father... What have you learned? Have you've grown from your own childish ways?
Remember who you really are...on the inside... how precious your life really is... and most of all especially who needs you the most... the youth of our times needing guidance, direction, and love, most of all your children if you have them, your loved ones, the ones who believe in you the most....
Venture on my friend... Forgive, but do not forget... do not let them be of influence in your LIFE.
But leave them behind... Move forward... Carry on in the bittersweetness of finally saying goodbye...

REVELATION CHAPTER XII.

[1 A woman clothed with the sun travaileth; 4 the great red dragon standeth before her, ready 
to devour her child: 5 she is delivered, and fleeth into the wilderness...] 

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:
2 And she, being with child, cried, travailing in 
birth, and pained to be delivered. 
3 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. 
4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of 
heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon
stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered,
for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
5 And she brought forth a man-child, who was 
to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child 
was caught up unto God, and to his throne.
6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, 
where she hath a place prepared of God, that 
should feed her there a thousand two hundred and
threescore days.
7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and 
his angels fought against the dragon; and the 
dragon fought and his angels, 
8 And prevailed not; neither was their place 
found any more in heaven. 
9 And the great dragon was cast out, that 
old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which 
deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into 
the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, 
Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom 
of our God, and the power of his Christ: for 
the accuser of our brethren is cast down which 
accused them before our God day and night.
11 And they overcame him by the blood of the 
Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and 
they loved not their lives unto the death.
12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that 
dwell in them. Wo to the inhabiters of the earth,
and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto 
you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that 
he hath but a short time. 
13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast 
unto earth, he persecuted the woman which 
brought forth the man-child.
14 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. 
15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water 
as a flood, after the woman, that he might cause 
her to be carried away of the flood.
16 And the earth helped the woman, and the 
earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood
which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, 
and went to make war with the remnant of her 
seed, which keep the commandments of God, and 
have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
