Rev. 14:10
"The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God,
...which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation;
......and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone
...in the presence of the holy angels,
and in the presence of the Lamb:"
This verse contrasts the wine of the wrath of God against the wine of the wrath of Babylon's fornication in Rev. 14:8. Whereas Babylon caused all nations to drink the wrath of her fornication, God will cause anyone taking the mark of the beast to suffer the torment of his wrath forever. The message is clear. Do not take the mark of the beast.

I understand your concern. But I am not here to make friends but to deliver a message.
Rev. 14:11
"And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever:
.....and they have no rest day nor night,
who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name."
Continuing from the previous verse, those who take the mark of the beast will not be forgiven!!!!!

Rev. 14:12
"Here is the patience of the saints:
.....here are they that keep the commandments of God,
and the faith of Jesus."
In this verse (v. 14:12), we return to the mark of the beast storyline where we left off in Rev. 13:10. Those who remain faithful to the Savior will wait for him. They will follow the Savior even unto death (Rev. 12:11). And when the demons require that you take the mark or be killed, the answer is to remain loyal to Jesus Christ in all things. Those who survive and keep the commandments will be rescued.

You don't know any of us on this forum either but you called us blind, bees and you are easily offended. If you want people to listen to you as a supposed servant of God, do so with kindness, gentleness, patience and all the othe fruit of the Holy Spirit. Otherwise, people will just write you off as a false teacher in sheep's clothing and not listen to you.

The Savior has me here for a purpose, and I do not care what anyone thinks about the manner in which I deliver the message.
I feel good that you will benefit from the message. Stay with me and you will have the blessing.
A man will negotiate peace in the Middle East resulting in a peace treaty for 7 years.
3.5 years later the tribulation will start and last 3.5 years.
The tribulation happens after 3.5 years that the world thinks there will be peace.
Which the antichrist pushes his agenda that exalts people and there is no personal God.
The 10 horn kingdom failed at providing peace.
So they turn to the antichrist and his agenda for peace which he will rule for 3.5 years.
When the 7 years period is over 75 days later Jesus takes over the world.
There is no 3.5 years judgement.
When Jesus rules the earth over the heathen there is no judgement.
Which the heathen have to go to Jerusalem year after year to worship the LORD.
At the end of 1000 years the heathen are consumed by fire.
After the winepress where the beast and his false prophet are defeated, comes the 3.5-year judgment. This judgment involves who can be collected from throughout the earth, and who can not. These individuals are referenced in Rev. 14:7. This Verse states the judgment that takes 3.5 years.
When Jesus defeats the world some heathen will be spared which lasts for one day.
It will not be for 3.5 years of determining who will spared.
And in what sense are they collected.
Not for salvation because they worshipped the antichrist and took his mark.
Revelation 14:7 does not say for 3.5 years.
The saints do not go to the New Jerusalem until after the millennial reign of Christ.
Which at the end of the millennial reign this earth shall be burned up and the works of it.
And the heaven shall melt with fervent heat.
Because they have been tainted with sin.
The saints are resurrected.
And then the saints come back with Jesus and He defeats the world the battle of Armageddon.
Jesus rules the world which the saints are on earth.
When the 1000 years are over the saints will go to the New Jerusalem.
The 144,000 who are Hebrews are probably the first fruits of restored Israel and the New Jerusalem.
Which God is going to restore the kingdom on earth to Israel.
Which the peace treaty will pave the way for all Hebrews to go to Israel.
Which the nations will cause to happen.
God will send 2 witnesses to Israel to turn them to the truth during the 3.5 years tribulation.
And at the New Jerusalem the names of the 12 tribes of Israel and the names of the 12 apostles are written in the New Jerusalem.
Because Israel is the Church.
That is why when a Gentile is saved they are a Jew inwardly and belong to the commonwealth of Israel.
Okay. You're not the only (supposed) servant of God. God will send a REAL servant of God who actually reflects Him, who is humble and who doesn't see us as the hostile enemy, if He really needs to inform us on something.
That is not quite correct. I am not "the" servant of God. Far from it. I am "a" servant of God. That is, I am not rubbing shoulders directly with the Savior, but am once removed. I serve the servant who is the "Moses" in Rev. 15:3. I am not him, and he is nicer. I have a job to do at his hand, and I am doing it. That is, I am not the Savior's Moses, but I serve that servant. If this is not true then I ask the Savior to strike me dead at this very moment.
I am not debating your understanding of scripture. I can, however, address questions that you might have about the Book of Revelation. My responsibility is very specific and only pertains to The Book of Revelation.
You don't know God then. You're still alive because He's giving you time to repent.
And that is how the Pharisees responded when Jesus told them he was the Christ. I have said enough and will henceforth only respond to questions about The Book of Revelation. You are the Modern Day Pharisees.
It is obvious when the Roman Empire embraced Christianity they did not get rid of their pagan and occult ways.
And it became their foundation for the interpreting of scriptures.
Joseph Smith had a belief system that was not part of the Bible.
And it became his foundation for interpreting scriptures.
The same with Scientology and Christian Science.
Who could be the forerunner to the new age christianity.
The new age has the occult and evolution as their foundation for interpreting scriptures.
Your foundation of the 7 years period is the improper foundation.
And you are trying to fit scriptures in to that foundation.
Causing the interpretation to be off.
Which can cause an improper foundation of other scriptures.
The 7 years period is not 3.5 years tribulation and 3.5 years judgement.
But 3.5 years where the antichrist pushes his agenda.
And the world adapts a system that exalts people and there is no personal God.
And stopping anything taught contrary to it.
Which they will say it is not the truth and they want peace.
At the end of the 3.5 years the transgressors will have come to the full.
Then the antichrist claims to be God.
And they go against all people who oppose his system.
The tribulation.
When the last 3.5 years is over 75 days later Jesus takes over the world, Daniel 12.
And then Jesus rules the world and there is no judgement.
That is why you have not heard anyone say what you said because it is an improper foundation.
But it can happen which many people have not had the right interpretation but some learned the right interpretation later on.
If what you say is contradicting scripture why would you keep believing it.
I am not saying I know it all.
And if someone shows me a contradiction in scripture then I will have to find the harmony.
Rev. 14:13
"And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me,
...Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth:
Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them."
With this verse (v. 14:3), we should go back over the mark of the beast storyline structure:
Ch. 12, the storyline tribulation chapter
.....vv. 13:1-10, the first generation aside in support of Chapter Twelve (Verse 13:9 is the marriage verse)
..........vv. 13:11-18, a second generation aside, the mark of the beast proper
..........vv. 14:1-5, a second generation aside, Christ with his 144,000
..........vv. 14:6-13, a second generation aside, the judgment proper
.....vv. 14:14-20, the continuation of the first generation aside in support of Chapter Twelve
Ch. 15, the midpoint that introduces the storyline judgment chapter
Ch. 16, the storyline judgment chapter
1) Notice the ending of the judgment proper (Rev. 14:13) is harmonious with Rev. 19:9.
2) Since the marriage (Rev. 19:5-8) in the fall of Babylon storyline took place before Rev. 19:9, then the marriage in the mark of the beast storyline must take place before Rev. 14:13, since these two verses are harmonious.
3) Notice the marriage gifts (Ch. 2-3) referenced in Rev. 13:9.
4) Notice the patience of the saints in Rev. 13:10 and Rev. 14:12.
5) Since the marriage took place before Rev. 14:13, and the patience of the saints in Rev. 14:12 harmonizes with the patience of the saints in Rev. 13:10, and the marriage gifts are referenced in Rev. 13:9, then the marriage in the mark of the beast storyline took place at Rev. 13:9.
There is additional evidence in Rev. 14:13 which supports the above conclusion.
"And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me,
...Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth:
Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them."
