Satan and his false doctrine caused the disciples to reject Jesus as Messiah and God. Jesus tried to warn them of His coming crucifixion and resurrection (Mark 8:31; 9:31; Luke 18:31-33), but “they understood none of these things” (Luke 18:34). Peter and Thomas wanted to go with Him (John 13:36, 37; 14:5) and Philip asked Him to show him the Father. Jesus answered, “Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?” (See John 14:9.) After Jesus was taken prisoner, “all the disciples forsook him, and left” (Matthew 26:56). Judas had betrayed Him, Peter denied Him, and Thomas refused to accept Him. The disciples believed Jesus came from God because they had heard His sermons and seen His miracles, but they rejected Him as Messiah and God. When Mary Magdalene and Mary ran from the tomb to tell the apostles that Jesus had risen, they wouldn’t listen. “Their words seemed to them...

An angel spiritually carried John into the wilderness to show him the judgment of the great whore that “sitteth upon many waters” (Revelation 17:1). He lifted the veil that covered the woman’s face. On her forehead was written, “MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH” (Revelation 17:5). John “marveled” (Revelation 17:9) at this beautiful mysterious woman, “arrayed in purple and scarlet color, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls,” riding a scarlet colored beast with “seven heads and ten horns” (Revelation 17:3, 4). Who is this great whore and why is she to be judged? The angle gave John some clues that identify the great whore that was clothed in purple and scarlet and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls. “The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. . . . And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth” (Revelation 17:9, 18). These clues identify the g...

Listen for the Seventh Trumpet ye inhabitants of the earth for it will signal life to the church and death to many of the inhabitants of the earth. Seven Trumpets  Will Sound Seven Endtime Woes to Lovers of Poisoned Wine Seven Trumpets will sound seven woes upon the inhabitants of the earth. Many times God uses trumpets to make announcements. These announcements may be good or bad (Matthew 24:29-31, Exodus 19:16, Psalms 81:3, Isaiah 27:13, Numbers 10:2-10, Joshua 6:4-20). Most of the inhabitants of the earth are lovers of Poisoned Wine. To these the Seventh Trumpet sounds death but to the true church it sounds eternal life. A great voice, as it were of a trumpet talking ( bullhorn/megaphone ), summoned John to heaven to show him things which must be hereafter (Rev 4:1). S even angels stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets. . . .And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound (Revelation 8:2, 6). God told John to  write t...
