Quotes About Revelation

Toda buena obra debiera ser una revelación de la gloria de Dios.

Claims for the occurrence of miraculous events will have to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. There can be no general theory to cover the character of unique events, but the refusal to contemplate the possibility of revelatory disclosures of an unprecedented kind would be an unacceptable limitation, imposed arbitrarily on the horizons of religious thought.

Though blue sky and the road's yellow dust and the green of the nearing oasis were all snuffed out, he (newly converted Saul) did not miss them. Light suffused his blinded eyes, his mind.

Ezekiel Chapters 38 and 39 God reveals to Israel eye-opening details about a future major invasion of Israel, after Israel's return to the land and re-establishment as a nation. The first end times peace treaty, like all of Israel's prior peace agreements, will be broken. Ezekiel reveals to us a number of specifics as to how Israel's first end times peace treaty will be breached. He even lists the identities of the nations that will seek to conquer, kill and destroy Israel.

When God revealed through Daniel (Daniel 2), that there would be four world empires, with the fourth empire coming in two phases, the last in the end times, He made no mention of the "hammer of the whole earth" reigning at the same time as the revived Roman Empire. Not there.

This identity clue describes in detail a nation of luxurious wealth, but not a Church, even one with appreciable assets. Further, Revelation 18 describes the merchants of the world weeping over the loss of their major trading partner. Why will merchants weep and wail over the fall of a Church? The Daughter of Babylon is not a Church.

The Bible also affirms that in the end times God's people will be martyred by beheading. "And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony for Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or his image and had not received his mark on their foreheads or their hands." (Revelation 20:4)

In Revelation 18:18 John refers to that "great city," rhetorically asking "was there ever a city like this great city?" Some have wondered why John didn't say "nation" or "country," instead of "city.

God's people will be martyred by beheading. "And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony for Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or his image and had not received his mark on their foreheads or their hands." (Revelation 20:4)

What is meant in Revelation 17 goes beyond the physical act of prostitution and applies to the spiritual aspects of turning away from the true God, "to other gods." The United States has turned away from the God who founded and birthed us, "to other gods.' Founded as a Christian nation, as our Supreme Court acknowledged over one hundred years ago (Holy Trinity Church v. U.S., 12 Sup. Ct. 511 – 1892), we have become anything but.

Strong's Exhaustive Concordance shows the Greek word (Greek word number 3735) used in Revelation 17:9, to mean "mountain," and is the same word used in Matthew 4:8 when Satan tempted Jesus on an "exceeding high mountain.

However, times change, people change, and nations change. America, the formerly great missionary nation, is no longer viewed as holding a golden cup used of the Lord, but by the time of its fall, instead, will be seen in this manner: "For all the nations have drunk the maddening wine of her adulteries. The kings of the earth committed adultery with her." (Revelation 18:3

If the forgoing identity clues are not convincing that America is the future, prophesied Daughter of Babylon, consider a thought Paul gave us in Philippians 3:15b: "And if on some point you think differently, that too God will make clear to you." Prayerfully ask Him to reveal his meaning in these verses, for, "If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him". (James 1:5)

John wrote in Revelation 17 that Babylon was the "mother" of abominations. In other words, an innovator and pioneer of promoting sin. Once America 'birthed' the killing of babies, others quickly concluded they should follow our lead and do the same.

China is shown as an invading army of two hundred million (Rev. 9:16 and 16:12–"the Kings of the east"). When Revelation was written, the total population of the world was only a fraction then, of the number of soldiers in this prophesied future mega-army. No other nation in the world then, or for that matter now, could mount such an army, except China's reserve armies today.

America's role appears to come to an abrupt end before the final years of the end times. Surprising as it may seem to some, the Author of the Word has provided to us a great deal of detail about the United States of America in the end times. Frankly, that's what we would expect from the Creator of the Universe. Daniel described God, as "the revealer of mysteries" and "a God in heaven who reveals mysteries" (Daniel 2:28 and 29).

In the years since the 17th century authors interpreted the verses, primarily those from Revelation, as referring to the Roman Catholic Church. The clash of interpretations is quite stark; do these end times verses, yet unfulfilled on their face, refer to modern day Iraq, do they describe modern day America, or is there another possible nation to which they could refer?

When the Lord gave to Jeremiah the revelation that he recorded, and we read, in the Book of Jeremiah, He only caused Jeremiah to use the phrase "Daughter of Babylon" twice, once in Jeremiah 50:42, and the second time in Jeremiah 51:33. This is not a casual or accidental use of the name. A close study of Chapters 50 and 51 reveals 99 verses, almost all of which could not apply to ancient Babylon, but do apply to the nation Jeremiah refers to as the Daughter of Babylon.

God presents Himself in the light; He also conceals Himself by the light—just as we present ourselves in our garments and conceal ourselves by our garments.

Es imposible demostrar que algo es cierto. Solo podemos descubrir que algo es falso y, así, acercarnos un poco más a la verdad.

Awakening is a momentary flash of insight when we are granted a glimpse of the universe as God sees it.

Because it's getting to be the blue hour, and that's the time when everything is revealed.

I have been to the speed of God, sir...and I discommend it.

The greatest thing a human soul ever does in this world... to see clearly is poetry, prophecy and religion all in one.
