Chapter Nineteen THE ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION What we have seen with this interruption of the Angel come down from heaven with the little book open in His hand and it is that rhetorically the Lord has much more to show us concerning things to come. We desire to know the whale story and he wants us to have a full understanding. The text in Revelation follows a continuum beginning with chapter four and following through to the end of chapter nine. The subject matter opens from a heavenly perspective seeing the four living creatures (cherubim) and he twenty- four elders round about the throne offering praise and worship to the Father and the Son. We have seen the Lion of the tribe of Judah take the book with the seven seals from the Father …show more content…

Then under the opening of the seventh seal we have seen revealed that great and awesome Day of the Lord. With the sounding of six of the seven trumpets revealed with the opening of that seal. As we reached to chapter ten we saw that other Angel who had in his hand a little book opened and we were able to realize that it represented an as yet unrevealed portion of the original book having the seven seals. The Angel directed John to eat up the book for it was given unto him to prophesy again rhetorically speaking and to add additional details to all that has already been seen and examined. Consideration and detail has also been examined to discover the meaning, the activities and the judgment of Mystery Babylon. Chapters eleven, including the first twelve verses, and all of chapter twelve have been disclosed for an understanding of the measuring of the temple including the two witnesses and the significance of the man-child who was caught to the throne precipitating war in heaven and the casting of Satan from the heavenly realm. It would seem to me to be valuable to add emphasis to the experience of the Church during this period of three and one half years of tribulation as it is captured for us in this portion in chapter eleven dealing with the two witnesses and the whole of chapter

Both myths have to do with death. However, the book of Revelations in the Bible tells how the world will end, while the story of Persephone deals only with the death of summer. Revelations explains the stages of the death of the world. There are 7 seals to be broken, and halfway through the Tribulation the Antichrist will come as an incarnation of the devil, trying to win people away from the Lord. Those who go to the Lord even in this tough time will still go to heaven - the Christians before this time have experienced the rapture and will miss this time period.

It sprang up overnight and died overnight. And should I not have concern for the great city of Nineveh, in which there are more than a hundred and twenty thousand people who cannot tell their right hand from their left—and also many animals?” (NIV, Jonah 4:10-11).

There are numerous references to chaos, destruction, death, and resurrection found within the pages of Revelation. A heavily symbolic book written by the believer John during his exile (exactly where is debated, though many believe it to be the island of Patmos), Revelation hints, through the use of metaphor, historical references, and prophecy, at the final days of the world. One of the passages of this Holy and strange book reads, “And in those days people will seek death and will not find it. They will long to die, but death will flee from them (Rev 20:5). While many theologians will look at this scripture in a symbolic manner, other, other, non religious individuals use this ideology for quite different means.

The Book of Numbers – in Hebrew, Bəmidbar, meaning “in the wilderness [of Sinai]” – describes the the Israelites’ long journey in the desert to take possession of God’s promised land. The Jewish Study Bible divides Numbers into three major units based on “geographical criteria” and “ideological motifs”. The first unit spans from Numbers 1.1 to 10.10 and details the Israelites’ encampment at Mount Sinai and their preparation for the long journey. The second unit picks up this narrative and describes the generation‐long march in the desert from Sinai to Moab. The final unit, starting with Numbers 22.2, narrates the encampment on the plains of Moab before entering the promised land of Canaan.
