Revelation 14:6-8

Revelation

Revelation 14:6

And I saw another angel flying in mid heaven, having eternal good tidings to proclaim unto them that dwell on the earth, and unto every nation and tribe and tongue and people;

 14:6

And I saw another angel flying in mid heaven, having eternal gospel to proclaim to them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation and tribe and tongue and people; (Matthew 24:14; And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world for a testimony to all the nations; and then shall the end come.)

 Revelation 14:7

and he says with a great voice, Fear God, and give him glory; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made the heaven and the earth and sea and fountains of waters.

 14:7

and he said with a great voice, Fear God, (Love and Obey Him) and give Him glory; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship Him that made the heaven and the earth and sea and fountains of waters. (People, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. Sea of Mankind)

 Revelation 14:8

And another, a second angel, followed, saying, Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, that hath made all the nations to drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.

 14:8

And another angel, a second one, followed, saying, Fallen, fallen (Fallen from God’s Grace; from God’s Power)

is Babylon the great (The Harlot, man’s temple of pride with self on the throne. A Church built with hands to honor self.)

city, (A group of people, in this case, attached to the Harlot.)

 Zephaniah 3:1-4;

Woe to her (The Harlot Babylon) that is rebellious and defiled, the oppressing city! (Earthly Jerusalem, the False Church built with hands, Sodom and Egypt, sin of the world) 2, She obeyed not the voice; she accepted no instruction; she did not trust in the Lord; she did not draw near to her God.3:3, Her princes within her are roaring lions; her judges are wolves at evening; (Darkness) they leave nothing for the morning. (Light) 3:4; Her prophets (False Prophets) are reckless, treacherous men; her priests have profaned the sanctuary, they have done violence to the law.

 she who has made all the nations (Heathen, Natural or Carnal man)

to drink of the wine of the passion (Seduced by her teaching, deception, evil doctrines and practices.)

of her fornication. (Defilement of the flesh. Spiritual Adultery to permit oneself to be drawn away by another into idolatry.)( Note: Revelation 17:2; says, all who dwelled on the earth [Earthly thinking, not Godly thinking] were made to drink the wine of her immorality.)

 Although the Harlot Babylon has been referred to in many places in Revelation this is the first place she is named by name, “Babylon the great”. We find a huge clue as to just who this Harlot is and why she is referred to so many times in scripture, as in, Daniel 4:30; “Is it not Babylon the great that which I have built?” This is really saying,

“Look what I have done for God.”

I Corinthians 5:1;

It is actually reported that there is immorality among you, and such immorality as does not exist even among the Gentiles, (Gentiles mean the nations that do not know God, the heathen;) that one of you has his father’s wife.

The heathens are pagans and have committed every sin that exists EXCEPT ONE,  the one THAT THEY COULD NOT COMMIT, Which is

SPIRITUAL ADULTERY.

Paul tells us that we have become dead to the law by the body of Christ, that we should be married to another, even to Him who is raised from the dead. God brings us into a place of perfect love and perfect faith.

They were NEVER MARRIED TO MR. GRACE (JESUS).  Thus they could not go back and commit  SPIRITUAL ADULTERY WITH MR. LAW. Mr. Law is the law of WORKS.

 Romans 7:1-6;

Or do you not know, brethren (for I am speaking to those who know the law), that the law has jurisdiction over a person as long as he lives? 2 For the married woman is bound by law to her husband while he is living; but if her husband dies, she is released from the law concerning the husband. 3 So then, if while her husband is living she is joined to another man, she shall be called an adulteress; but if her husband dies, she is free from the law, so that she is not an adulteress though she is joined to another man. 4 Therefore, my brethren, you also were made to die to the Law through the body of Christ, so that you might be joined to another, to Him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit for God. 5 For while we were in the flesh, the sinful passions, which were aroused by the Law, were at work in the members of our body to bear fruit for death. 6 But now we have been released from the Law, having died to that by which we were bound, so that we serve in newness of the Spirit and not in oldness of the letter.

 Galatians 2:20;

I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I that live, but Christ living in me: and that life which I now live in the flesh, I live in faith, which is in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me.

We are dead and crucified with Christ and risen with Him in His resurrection. We were freed from the Law to marry Jesus (Mr. Grace)

Because we went back to our old husband, Mr. Law (Law of Works), in an effort to please God by our on efforts or works, we have gone back to our first Husband and committed spiritual adultery. So God gave us a Writ of DIVORCE because of our adultery. Mathew 19:9

 Jeremiah 3:1-3,8; :1 God says,” If a husband divorces his wife And she goes from him And belongs to another man, (Mr. Law) Will he still return to her? Will not that land be completely polluted? But you are a harlot {with} many lovers Yet you turn to Me(Mr. Grace), declares the LORD. :2 ”Lift up your eyes to the bare heights and see; Where have you not been violated? By the roads you have sat for them Like an Arab in the desert, And you have polluted a land With your harlotry and with your wickedness. :3 ”Therefore the showers have been withheld, And there has been no spring rain. Yet you had a harlot’s forehead; You refused to be ashamed. :8 ”And I saw that for all the adulteries of faithless Israel, I had sent her away and given her a writ of divorce, yet her treacherous sister Judah did not fear; but she went and was a harlot also.

 We will never be able to please God except by faith.  Hebrews 11:6 Without faith it is impossible to please God. Our works without His Grace (God’s power) flowing through us are nothing, worthless. It is only by practicing righteousness that His fruit may be produced in us. We must abide in the vine (Light) to produce anything of true value. If a branch is cut off (Darkness) it can produce nothing. The Harlot is not the temple of God, but is the Synagogue of Satan.  She has not the mind of Christ, but the thoughts of Satan. She seduces us back to PRIDE by looking at what we have done by the works of our hands. She lives in shrines  (Always point to man). They are temples built with hands to honor man.  Even though they may be said to honor God, they cry out “Look what I have made with My hands for you God! Look what I did for You!” This is pride in what our hands have made. See all of Ezekiel 16  (Practicing lawlessness, Temporal works which provoke God to anger with the works of our hands II Kings 22:17.

Churches built with hands

Acts 7:48-50; However, the Most High does not dwell in houses made with hands; as the prophet says, 49, The heaven is my throne, And the earth the footstool of my feet: Where is there a house you could build for me? says the Lord: Or what is the place of my rest? 50; Was it not My hand which made all these things?

Acts 17:24,-25 

The God who made the world and all things in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands; 25 nor is He served by human hands, as though He needed anything, since He Himself gives to all people life and breath and all things;

The Harlot seduces us with perpetrating lies, which lead us back to,

WHAT CAN WE DO FOR GOD?  NOTHING!

Isaiah 41:24;

“Behold, you are of no account, and your works amounts to nothing; he that chooses you is an abomination.”

Isaiah 57:12; says, “I will declare your righteousness

and your works but they will not profit you,’

The only way we can receive eternal rewards that will not be burned to ashes is to practice righteousness during our stay here on Earth.  God does not want to have to declare us righteous to uphold His name, for we are made in His image. He wants us to practice righteousness so that we will receive our full reward. God is always thinking of us. That is why He devised this plan. Little children, make sure no one deceives you: the one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous.(I John 3:7)

The Harlot Babylon is out to deceive and seduce us.

The Harlot is trying to make us believe that we can be righteous, through our own efforts. (Works)

We must be totally dependent on Him, as a little child, not like a five or six year old child, but as a two week old baby, totally dependent on somebody to take care of them. We must become 100% dependent not 99% but, 100% dependent on Him for everything. We can do nothing for God that He cannot do for Himself. (Isaiah 66:2)

If we could do anything for God, we would be independent from Him.

Therefore, we can do nothing for God on our own. God, will have to do it for us, through us, we are too weak and incapable. (II Corinthians 12:9) GRACE gives us the power to be obedient to Him, not out of compliance, but love. Grace is the Divine empowerment to make us be who God created us to be and to do what God created us to do. His Grace is like a kidney dialysis machine which separates the impurities of sin out of our blood. When we repent and confess our sin, God’s grace machine goes to work on a Search and Destroy mission to remove those dark impurities of sin out of our lives. He has to make our blood clean, exchanging our life for His, for His word says, the life is in the blood. His blood cleanses us from all iniquity. I John 1:7. So that, we may attain what Jesus knew all along, only He can fill that part of the puzzle that had been missing in our lives, that part is LOVE. It is our choice to love Him, (II John :6) He is not desirous to have fellowship with robots, He will not force us to love Him, it is our choice.
