Good morning once again We are in this course on the end times and we have been Doing an overview of the chronology of the sequence of events That will play out In the end times We have So we're doing a panoramic view. So we just a high-level view of things and We are using or just turning through the book of Revelation and our premise is that the book of Revelation has been given to us in a sequence in a chronology of events And so we are just following that and saying this is how it has been given and this is how We expect the things to expect things to unfold And as we've been looking at that we Have a journey through All the way till the end of chapter 12, which we did last peak We went through the Seven seals That were opened starting the revelation chapter six was one and each seal is indicating some sort of Judgment that's happening on the earth affecting the people on the earth Revelation chapter seven we see the hundred and forty four thousand Jews been marked by God and As we will discover later these people are Serving the Lord Jesus Christ in some way during those during the seven year tribulation Are we are also seeing in Revelation seven that there are a lot of Revelation six and also in Revelation seven that there are a lot of people who are martyred or killed during the tribulation Are for their faith in Christ and we see them appearing before the throne of God and So we've gone through the Seven seals then when we come into Revelation eight We have the seven trumpets and once again each trumpet is indicating some catastrophic happening here or not that is affecting the lives of people everywhere and Revelation 10 is kind of Intermission where An angel appears to John and tells him to eat a book Basically telling signifying that there's a lot more that he's going to prophesy About the nations and about all of that Revelation 11 we said is the middle of The seven year period The reason is because in Revelation 11 he clearly mentions Revelation 11 verse 2 he clearly mentions 42 months 42 months is three and a half years and again in Revelation 11 and verse 3 he mentions 1260 days again that Comes up to the three and a half year period approximately. So We are saying that Revelation 11 is the midpoint and Then what we see in Revelation 11 is that there are two witnesses who appear So, you know, we had a little discussion Last week. Who could these two witnesses be? You know, what what would be our? Our understanding or maybe I should say even a guess a good guess Based on, you know, the information we have in the scriptures Who could this be? How would they possibly come into the world around the middle of the tribulation? But so that that is, you know, still open for discussion We can we can make our best guess or best judgment based on the information we have But what is clearly given to us in Revelation 11 is that these two witnesses are going to be on the earth during the second half Of the tribulation and they're going to be, you know, bearing witness to the Lord with mighty power science wonders miracles and then towards the end of that Seven year period of the tribulation, which is the end of the second half of the tribulation, they would be killed Their bodies would be lying in the streets of Jerusalem and everybody going to see it and And we said that we are actually living in a time When that is possible, you know When the whole world can see what is happening they're living in such a time where Revelation 11 what is said about these people can actually be fulfilled You know, so we are saying that's one indicator of how close we are to the end of times then in Revelation 11 Second part there's the sound of the seventh angel, which is a proclamation saying look the time has come The kingdoms of the earth are going to be taken up by the kingdom of God. So it's we are we are very close Revelation 12 which we went through last week It's again Talking about the middle of the tribulation Because there again in Revelation 12. We have the mention of 1260 days that is in Revelation 12 verse 6 then again he mentions in Revelation 12 14 a time times and half a time which is three and a half years and Yeah, so both these are indicative that Revelation 12 happens in the middle of the tribulation middle on to the end the second half of the tribulation 42 months three and a half years 1260 days Basically the summary of Revelation 12 is Satan and his demons make a final attempt to go into The place the heavens to the place where God is Sorry, no entry. You cannot come here. They cast out or sent out And Satan comes back to the earth knowing his time is short and he goes with full vengeance against The woman that is The nation of Israel because she gave birth to the male child that is Jesus Christ would come So he's going out full vengeance and but God preserves the nation of Israel protects them the people during that three and a half year period and Satan is all out against them In what way would he be all out against the nation of Israel, obviously he's going to instigate people to come against the nation of Israel and we will see that a little later in Chapter 15 and so on that that actually is played out for us. Okay So we've reached the end of Revelation 12 We are continuing now from elevation 13 So what else is happening during this tribulation in revelation 13? very interestingly John is getting images that are very similar to Daniel's prophecy so book in the book of Daniel Daniel also saw visions and He you know in one of his visions in Daniel 7 He sees beasts animals so he you know, he sees a leopard a bear a Line and then a fourth beast as well and That same picture is used is given to John So you can imagine John when he's seeing all this in his mind. He says hey This is exactly what Daniel saw and each of these beasts are representing different world empires as Was explained to Daniel in Daniel chapter 7 the leopard represents the Greek Empire the bear represents the Medo Persian Empire The lion represents the Babylonian Empire the beast that came on later was representing the the Roman Empire so You know enough John sees this and then from the he actually sees a beast Who is a composite of all of this meaning? So basically and we will study this next year basically from this region That comprised of the Babylonian the Medo Persian the Greek and subsequently the Roman Empire Which was the largest in its extent would emerge the Antichrist and so if you look geographically at the extent of the Roman Empire of course it covered all of Europe and extended into across the Mediterranean into Parts of modern-day Turkey across the Middle East Iran Iraq and on so that was the extent of the Roman Empire and Daniel has additional information, which of course is not spoken to John, but you know, we will see that In Daniel's visions, it's very clear that From one of the portions of the Greek Empire so Alexander the Great you read about him in Revelation 8 and He was a leader the first leader the Greek Empire and yet he grew and expanded very powerfully When he was overthrown and was killed his empire was divided into four parts Which basically covers the region around Greece Around Turkey all around Syria and and all around Egypt and what Was revealed to Daniel is from one of these four regions would emerge the Antichrist. So that's what John sees in Revelation 13 He sees the beast which is the Antichrist and The beast is empowered by the dragon which we read about in Revelation 12 that is Satan himself He empowers the beast Revelation 13 verse 2 The dragon gives him authority and throne. So this beast is Antichrist is empowered by Satan himself and And You know, it seems like in verse 3 of Revelation 13. There's must have been an assassination attempt Against the Antichrist because it says here that he was mortally wounded but he survived and that really gets people to you know What to say to follow this man and That's Revelation 13 verse 3 and was for listening for the dragon is giving authority to the beast you know, the Satan is empowering this man the Antichrist the beast and Ultimately this verse 5 which in 35 This beast the Antichrist is speaking blasphemous things against God and it says that he continues this for 42 months So once again We are saying Revelation 13 Starts in the middle of the tribulation and goes on till the end. Why because it says in Revelation 13 5 He does this for 42 months so What I want us to understand is chapter 11 chapter 12 and chapter 13 are talking about events that take place in the middle of the tribulation and Continue on for 42 months, which is three and a half years the second half of the tribulation So this beast Who emerges who came in Revelation 6 1 as the man riding on the white horse and When you study Daniel, you we will see that he came as a man of peace He set up a peace treaty and so on in the middle of the tribulation This man on the white horse becomes the beast meaning the Antichrist. He is now Speaking blasphemous things against God. So he's changed, you know, his his stance. He's changed his whole position and he Makes war with the saints with everybody who worships Jesus George and That's you know and it tells us that he basically You know goes out to kill these people is against the saints And then Revelation 13 11 says there is another beast So there's one beast the Antichrist empowered by the dragon but there is another beast and We see this other beast later on he is referred to as the false prophet in Revelation 16 13 He's called false prophet so In Revelation 13 11, he's introduced as another beast in Revelation 16 13 He's called false prophet. So we will refer to him as false prophet So the beast is the Antichrist Another beast is the false prophet and These two people men are Empowered by the dragon that is Satan so The dragon Represents Satan the beast represents the Antichrist the other beast represents the false prophet And what's the job of the false prophet if you read Revelation 13 11 on? His job is To get people to worship The beast the Antichrist He comes like a lamp. He speaks like a dragon and so he He His appearance is you know like a lamp. Who is the real lamb Jesus Christ? So he has a false prophet. He pretends to be a religious leader or he comes in the form of a religious leader He Deceives the people he performs. So, you know, what does he do here was Revelation 13 12 He gets people to worship the first beast that is the Antichrist Verse 13 he performs great science. So he's doing great science Verse 14 he deceives people on the earth. So he's he's this religious. That's why we say he's a religious leader Why because he's called a false prophet. He comes like a lamp speaks like a dragon. He Gets people to worship the beast the Antichrist He performs science and wonders and he deceives people that we must be a very great teacher who can convince people of his, you know, what he wants them to believe in and He sets up an image of the beast and this is verse 15 Revelation 13 15 an image of the beast and he gets people to worship and if people don't worship this image they're killed so You know, and in what form in and this image could speak it says, you know In what form would this happen? You know, if we can think we don't have to necessarily think of a physical statue or an image But we could think of, you know any digital form By which, you know, people are made to worship An image of the beast Ah About a month or so ago I saw this news item on BBC where they have created Robots speaking robots that can, you know, take the place of these statues Yeah, something like that, you know They're and and this is in some places. They're experimenting this So in sort of having the statue of a saint, you have a robot that looks like the saint And people go to worship the robot and the robot speaks to them, you know And this is it being experimented in some places and of course they're using You know, all of the technology we have available today And and you know, so I'm just imagining that given the technology today Um Revelation 1315 can happen in so many different ways, right? It says this image can speak And if anybody doesn't worship the image, they will be killed. So you can imagine this image can Yeah, how it can it can also harm and do destruction anyway, so Given technology it can happen in so many different ways, you know, we just leave it open And And in addition to the image of the beast another thing that is introduced is The mark of the beast Right. So basically it's a number or it's a mark And the scriptures just tell us here Revelation 1318 that that if you calculate the number so that means there is some sort of a mathematical intelligence behind it you calculate the number it comes up as 666, okay now whether the number is a literal 666 or whether it's some other, you know form um, there's a there's a clue given that Some sort of a mathematics applied to what you calculated it'll arrive at 666. That's the clue now I remember, you know, when barcodes came out people used to Compute the barcodes and any barcode that came out to 666 or something like that, you know, it would be an alert or so I don't know exactly how it's going to play out But just that it is a mark of the beast And anybody receiving this mark or accepting this mark is basically subscribing to Coming under the beast that is the antichrist. They're saying yeah, I accept, you know, this The antichrist And the the interesting thing is that this is tied in To commerce to commercial transactions. That means you cannot buy or sell Unless you take up this mark of the beast So there are two things. There's the image of the beast that must be worshiped And there's a mark of the beast that everybody's forced to receive If you don't worship the image, you'll be killed If you don't receive the mark, you can't buy yourself. You can't transact commercially And so these And both these things are possible in today's world Right, we're talking about something global now So there is this is why You will hear the terms a world religion or a global religious system and a global Economic system or a global financial system, right? Why because one This false prophet has set up this image of the beast getting everybody to worship it. So that's a religious system and there's also The mark of the beast which people must receive in order to buy yourself. That's so that's the economic system so Both these a religious system and an economic system that affects globally is very possible today very possible and Anybody who refuses to worship the image of the beast Or receive the mark of the beast are killed right So if they refuse this It's death. No other choice right so If they refuse the mark of the beast Or if they refuse, you know, they can't buy yourself and basically they're going to be killed right, so this this whole system comes into place and and and given and I know I'm repeating myself, but What I want to point out is that in today's world something like You know, this is very possible It's very possible to implement something like this Is you know, there's so many options We don't have to worry about you know try to figure out which options you're going to use Is he going to use implants? He's going to use chips. Is he going to use credit cards? What's he going to use? You know, but the fact is something like this can be easily implemented in today's world You know, how whatever that form whatever the technology whatever is used, you know, we don't know so All right, so that brings us to the end of chapter 13. I will just pause and Take up some questions Okay, Abhishek is that AI technology may be definitely, you know could be You know the thing is the fact is you know, these things are so possible today But what if a person who gets the mark Then turns to God, so if somebody gets the mark and then turns to God The That that that process is not reference referred to in the scriptures You know, so we can't say for sure But I I'm making an assumption here. I'm assuming that If somebody repents God will forgive Right, I'm assuming because I can't there's no chapter and worse on this But I'm assuming suppose somebody, you know unintentionally receives the mark And then they realize that they've made a mistake. They've done something wrong They got to worship the living God and they repent and turn to God The my my thought would be that God will forgive and you know, they make it killed Of obviously they make it kill for their faith, but my thought is God will forgive But there is no chapter and worse. So that that process is not referenced But my my thought would be God forgive Christopher says some kind of cryptocurrency possible, you know, however, it's implemented. We don't know But we know that technology is available to implement this Maggie your question, please Thank you, sir Just to follow up to add on on The question people asking about about the mark In I think it's a number of the tyrannomy God tells Israel that they must have them the mark of Uh, his mark thinks Michael is is is wet on their forehead and on their their right hand So if the mark of God is Uh invisible and it is Can can also the mark of this be invisible be something similar to a replica of Of God's God's mark uh, second question is in In the revelation 13 we see that the can or can you say that the The pattern that's uh in that's in is in the revelation 13 of a beast being worship Can you say that it's similar or it is a copy of Daniel three when the book and then as I say that if you don't worship the image of ira tent you be Uh, you'll be killed. Can we compare those two? And then the last question sir is in the chapter 12 Where such certainness is thrown down so uh, I'm backing to understand if This event was it before revelation tribulations or was it Did it happen while the tribulation was happening in that period of time? Mm-hmm. Thank you sir. Okay. All right. All right. So let's start with the last question um, so revelation 12 um, so in revelation 12 There are two events connected with the dragon Or you know two other third one is with what he does. So if you want to say you can say three events one Is an event of the past that is revelation 12 um, and worse four Right, it says that this dragon He he drew a third of the stars of heaven So relation 12 for that means this dragon took one third of the angels with him So that happened in the past because When you begin the in genesis satan is there When in the past it happened. We don't know but it happened before Genesis and jesus said look 10 where's 18 he said I beheld satan fall as a lightning from heaven so that means Revelation 12 for Satan was cast out of heaven Sometime in the past before even before you know The birth of christ physically because he said I saw satan fall as a lightning from heaven So that's one event that's referenced in revelation 12 having to do with the dragon the second event having to do with the dragon is We're seven revolution 12 seven which says that war broke out in heaven and the dragon and his angels fought So this is This event is something that's been debated a lot Exactly attempting to answer your question Is revelation 12 seven and eight, you know, basically seven to 13 I'm not 13 but seven two Yeah, seven to 13 Is it talking about an event that happened in the past or is it talking about an event that will happen in the middle of the tribulation So it's been debated a lot There are some who say well, it's talking about something happened in the past And there are some who say well, it's talking about something that's going to happen in the future my personal position in which I shared with you last week is revelation 12 seven through 13 Is talking about something that's going to happen in the future Specifically in the middle of the tribulation. Why do we say that? Because the whole When you look at what is described It says satan and his angels they make an attempt to get into heaven Michael and his angels stop him They throw him back to the earth and then it says in verse 12 He knows he has a short time And then it says he goes and persecutes the woman Who gave birth to the mild child? And then next verse says this continues for a time times and half a time that is three and a half years So based on What is stated here was 12 he has a short time 13 he's persecuting the woman that's israel Where's 14? It's he's got just three and a half years left. So based on that My my conviction is Revelation 12 7 to 13 is talking about What will happen in the future? in the middle of the tribulation But there are just to keep it keep in mind. There are others You know who have a different opinion. They feel like oh no this happened in the past Now his attempt to go into heaven happened in the past and And they separate out the attack on israel, you know separately but My my my my thought is just just given the way the narrative goes. It seems very logical to say that That attempt to break into heaven that's where seven on to 12 Is in the middle of the tribulation Okay Okay, now I have to remember your first and second question um All right Can you what was the first question? um First question was Sorry, I forgot it. Yeah Oh, sorry the Mark mark of the beast Oh, is it is visible? Oh, okay. Okay. I got it now So you had two questions on the mark of the beast one is you referenced What god told us people in the old testament. Yeah, so in the old testament And you read about even in deuteronomy 6 god told his people To bind his word on the foreheads and on the hands Right and even put it up a signpost inside the house So basically how they practiced how the jews practiced this was They would write portions of scripture on small pieces of Paper or papyrus Put it in small boxes, you know Philacteries and tie them on their foreheads or on their hands. So actually it was a very visible thing A scripture contained in boxes and you know, they practiced it literally like that But god's real intent was for the word to be in their heart, right? But he told them you know, keep them in your in front of your eyes and You know, I bind them upon a signpost In your house and on your you know in front of your eyes and on your hand So they literally practiced it just to remind them that you're supposed to be living by the word of god. So it was a very visible sign So going by what we see in revelation 13 This mark of the beast How it is implemented meaning whether it's an implant whether it's a you know a mark on your skin that's not visible Whether it's you know some some other form of you know Marking a person We don't know But it is something that will definitely be recognizable meaning recognizable means i'm not saying visibly recognizable But it's something that you like an idea you have to show You have to use it In order to transact in order to buy and sell So To answer your question. Will it be a visible mark that you know if I see somebody or I see 666 on him Oh, he's got a 666. I most likely don't think so like no people. I don't look at me and say No, I have a certain ID ID card, you know, it's not I carry it with me, but they don't know unless I show it to them So whether this mark which is Which would be put upon the individual Whether that mark is a visible mark that we can see it on each other My guess I mean we don't know from scripture, but my guess is it's not not it would not be so But it definitely be something that systems can recognize You know, so you could probably walk into a store and the store will know that you have this mark And you know today through the through scanning and infrared now the technologies, you know, you can just walk And you don't have to swipe your card or you can just walk and they will know Now who you are You know in china's china is using like face recognition. That means hey, we don't just you you being you is enough for us So you walk down the streets and they have cameras everywhere They're collecting your faces your face Thing and they use facial recognition technology and that said they just know every every citizen is you know in the country almost So they just use face recognition technology So you don't even need to show an ID card anything. They just know where you are just by face face recognition So i'm just saying that the technology is so advanced today. You don't have to physically carry a card They can just know that you have the mark or you don't have the mark and therefore you can transact So those were your two questions. I think Maggie Was there another mic? Yes, I'd another one, but it's just uh regarding Uh revelation 13 11 dan what and daniel three. So we're we're Oh, yeah, so we can we can compare we can compare it Except that daniel three was very localized. It was just right there in Babylon Whereas liberation 13 11 will be global. It'll be a global religious system So that that would be the huge difference But here in revelation 13 you have made to worship the antichrist There they were made to worship a golden image the nebuchadnezzar had set up But you can't compare it but the scale is hugely different Thank you, sir. Yeah All right, um Okay, so uh, so that's revelation 13 and that the whole You know what what the antichrist is going to do. So what we know is There's going to be a global religious system The goal is to get everybody to worship the antichrist It's going to be a global economic or financial system The goal is to submit to the antichrist and he's using that economic system As a means to force people to submit to him And you got to receive the mark of the beast Okay Revelation 14 is an interesting chapter Okay, we'll just get started on that So so this is all happening, right? So 11 12 13 are starting at the middle of the tribulation going on for 42 months three and a half years So somewhere after the middle of the tribulation And we don't exactly when We see these 144,000 Jews Standing in the presence of god They are in heaven They are in mount zine the heavenly mount zine And they are worshiping Before the throne and they're singing You know, it says revolution 42 and they're singing A song they're playing with a harp and they're singing a song which nobody knows And it says that they were redeemed from the earth revelation 14 3 So they were redeemed from the earth that means they've taken out of the earth and It also says in 14 verse 4 they were redeemed from men Being first fruits to god and to the lamp being first fruits So the word first fruits Is either Used to talk about being born again as in james 1 21 18 Or it's also talking about resurrection physical resurrection as in 1st Corinthians 15 and verse 20 first fruits so How were the 144,000 Jews redeemed from the earth and taken into the presence of god Revelation 14 doesn't tell us Either doesn't tell us what they raptured directly Taken into heaven Were they killed then Resurrected and taken into heaven. We don't know I mean we don't know for sure What we know for sure is Somewhere after the middle of the tribulation The 144,000 Jews are taken out of the earth And they take it into heaven So it is anybody's guess You know, were they raptured just directly Or were they killed martyred And then taken into heaven if the emphasis is on the first fruits Then the way the word first fruits is used it's used in the context of resurrection. So therefore people would say well They were killed and they were resurrected But some would say well they were raptured Um, yeah, so we just have to leave it open, you know, it either way it's fine, but god takes them to heaven They're redeemed from the earth So that's interesting revelation 14 The other thing interesting about revision 14 years In revelation 14 there are five angelic announcements Will the gospel be preached during the tribulation? one There are 144,000 Jews who are specially assigned to do it to many people who Realize what is happening will turn to jesus christ and they Will be bearing witness for jesus and they will die They'll be killed for their testimony We've seen that in revolution 6 and 12 and so on three Everything we are creating today and which we will leave behind, you know all the content The videos the books websites all of that content will be bearing witness during the tribulation and fourth revelation 14 there will be angels making announcements to the people So if you very look quickly very very quickly what these angels are announcing Revelation 14 6 says there's an angel announcing the everlasting gospel To every nation tribe tongue and people And he's telling the angel is announcing fear god give him the glory Because the out of judgment has come worship him. So there's an angel announcing this now again Uh, when you read certain commentaries or certain Yeah commentaries on on revelation There are some who would say and i'm just sharing this because just to give you an idea of different views Some would say well this angel is actually a satellite That's you know going around the world that's proclaiming the gospel now these days We have many many satellites that are being used to proclaim the gospel Not just one So Is it right to make an assumption that revelation 14 6 is You know it's talking about an angel flying in the midst of having proclaimed the everlasting gospel I mean, it's a very nice picture of a satellite. I mean it's going around the earth And proclaiming the gospel to people of all nations tongues and so on. I mean, it's a very nice picture But is it right to say it's a satellite? My my Part is let's just leave it as an angel all right Simply because It says yeah, there's an angel and if you make the first angel in satellite Then you have to make the other four angels also satellites And then it doesn't make sense okay, so But there are people who will say you know revelation 14 6 is it's a satellite going around the world proclaiming the gospel Which is very practical. Yeah, but there's a problem with that interpretation or that kind of view Because if you have to be consistent in interpretation, then the remaining four angels have to be satellites, which when you read You'll see it doesn't make sense So just leave it as an angel god During the tribulation sends an angel to be a messenger Just proclaiming to people hey believe the gospel worship god And this is proclaimed to all the people nations tongues and tribes second There's another angel. This is verse 8 of which is 14 8 That is announcing Babylon is fallen Babylon is fallen Now what is the Babylon? we will see In chapter 17 and 18 The Babylon refers to the two things Antichrist is introduced with the help of the false prophet It refers to this false religion Revelation 17 And then it also refers to this Economic system revelation 18 you will see it So both these are referred to as Babylon. One is a spiritual Babylon. One is an economic Babylon Or a financial But here the angel the second angel in Revelation 14 is announcing Babylon is going to collapse Babylon is it's it's it's announcing at a time Babylon is going to collapse and all the nations are going to suffer from it Why because it was a global religious system people all over the world subscribe to the You know, we got a worship the image of the beast It is a global economic system people all over the world began to take the mark of the beast And Both these things collapsed We will see what causes the collapse and that's that's coming up revelation 17 and 18 you know and In the news that you read today You see how And and and you know we are we are all very aware of the war that's happening in ukraine but you see how Some sanctions were that were made by certain by the west overnight caused the collapse i mean almost the collapse Of the economics within a country within russia just within within one or two days people are feeling it and It just just just just an example that Look this this thing is real that minor changes can cause You know in a in revelation 18 it says in one hour in one hour The global economic system will collapse of this city when we read it when we get there we will read it In one hour it's gone They had great wealth and it's gone, you know, and i was reading the news and bbc news You know some of these rich men in russia In the matter of in matter of you know two days i guess since the sanctions economic sanctions were imposed they have lost millions and billions Just gone just vaporized Revelation 18 talks about in one hour things just disappear all the wealth disappears So today we are in a time when we say like wow these things can actually happen and Babylon is fallen that's going to be global What we are seeing witnessing we have seen in the past, you know global impact collapse of economics economic systems financial markets We have seen to some extent But Revelation 18 when Babylon falls It's going to be huge So that's the second angel announcing there's a third angel This third angel is warning people says If you receive the mark of the beast If you worship the beast and receive his mark Then you will drink of the wrath of the judgment of god So Don't receive So don't receive the third angel is warning people Don't worship the image of the beast and don't receive the mark of the beast Because if you do you're going to come under the judgment of god Then There's a voice in heaven saying blessed versus worse the teen blessed or the dead would die in the lord in other words You know, it's better for you to die in the lord rather than to receive worship the beast or to receive see this mark Then the fourth angel is announcing That there's going to be a great harvest of souls and No, so he's saying god put in the sickle and reap the harvest Announcing that there's going to be a great harvest of souls So that is going to happen the people will be saved because you know the gospel is being proclaimed People are being warned the Babylonian system is going to fall People are warned not to worship the image of the beast or say the mark of the beast The fourth angel is announcing there's going to be a great harvest God put in the sickle the earth is going to be reaps souls are going to be saved And last one Fifth angel this was 17 revelation 14. I'll just finish it and then we'll go for the break this angel announces That there is going to be a great judgment so The image that is used by the fourth angel is harvest But the fifth angel is wine press Wine press is a place where grapes are crushed. That is always symbolic of judgment harvest It's like The harvest is reap that is symbolic of souls being saved We know that right she said look look on the fields. They are white already for harvest So that's what the fourth angel is announcing harvest the fifth angel is announcing wine press crushing the grapes is judgment and then the fifth angel says that The great wine press of the wrath of god when this is crushed If we look at revelation 14 20 it says blood Blood will flow up to the horses bridle that's about you know Five feet or five six feet off the ground not six feet maybe four four to five feet off the ground horses bridle A blood will flow But six four to five feet off the ground For one thousand six hundred four long so about a hundred and eighty four miles outside the city of Jerusalem So that means he's saying this is what's going to happen It's going to be so much bloodshed outside Jerusalem in and around Jerusalem blood is going to flow says here revelation 14 20 Up to the horses bridle so it's about four or five feet off the ground For a hundred and eighty four miles This is basically announcing the battle of Armageddon.
