Revelation 21. The apostle John saw in a vision how all things are made new, the New Jerusalem was before his eyes and the glory of the New Jerusalem was on full display. there was no temple in it, all glory goes to the Lamb, the Alpha and Omega!
Malachi 4 is all about the great and dreadful day of the Lord, but before that day God will send His messenger Elijah.
Revelation 20 is full of action: Satan will be bound for 1,000 Years and the saints will reign with Christ for the same length of time. Then there will be a satanic rebellion which will be crushed, and after that comes the Great White Throne Judgment.
Malachi 3. The LORD promised to send His messenger before His coming: “But who can endure the day of his coming“,”For He is like a refiners fire.” So return to God instead of robbing God, but the people complained. God assured them there is everything to gain to serve Him.
Matthew 2: 13-23, the flight to Egypt, the massacre in Ramah and the return to Nazareth.
This passage is particularly interesting, with verse 15 put in the middle of a passage full of the most wonderful promises for Israel, ending with “a woman shall encompass a man.”
One of the possible sources for the last quote:
In the Arab world, Christians are named Nazarenes, symbolized with the letter ‘Nun’ .
It was painted on Christian homes in Mosul during the ISIS occupation, and Christians were systematically removed and some of them killed.
Exclusive CNN images capturing the homes of Christian families forced to leave the city by ISIS
Revelation 19. Hallelujah! While the world is quite upset at the demise of Babylon, (the failure of Global Governance), heaven is full of songs, jubilation and worship. Then John saw Christ on a White Horse, and the beast and his armies were defeated. On Christ’s robe is written “King of Kings, and Lord of Lords“.
Malachi 2 tells of corrupt priests and the treachery of infidelity.
December 27: Revelation 18 (click on the chapter to begin reading).
Revelation 18. This chapter is so full of Old Testament prophecy that it has been given today’s attention all by itself. It tells of the fall of Babylon the great, the one world political system, and the world mourns the fall of Babylon. The important thing to remember is that the Holy Bible is one consistent book, God is in control and gives the victory through Jesus Christ. We will not grasp it all, for if we did, we would try to save the world all by ourselves without God, (and fail miserably, as the Old Testament proves over and over again).
John 19:16b-42, the seven last words on the cross, the burial, the special Sabbath.
Psalm 22:18 They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.
A Psalm of David: Psalm 22:1 My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?
The word Elohim is plural. Eli or Eloi is “my God” in the singular. They had never heard it in the singular, so they thought Jesus called for Elias!
This was the moment when Jesus became sin for us.
Meanwhile, back in the Temple, the scapegoat having been released, the Passover lamb was placed on the altar.
Jesus was the Passover lamb, sacrificed outside the camp on Golgatha. The veil that separated the holiest area from the rest of the temple was rent from top to bottom to signify the end to all offerings. Jesus was offered once for all time.
This was now late on 14th of Nisan, the Passover.
It is now Thursday afternoon, and the next day is a special Sabbath. Then comes the normal Sabbath on Saturday. This is not all that uncommon, it happens every seventh year on average, and this was the case in A.D. 30. The preparation means to prepare meals for two days as well as the passover meal before sunset. ( https://lenbilen.com/2017/04/14/when-was-the-crucifixion-of-jesus/ )
Revelation 17. So begins the telling of the fall of Babylon. It is not Rome, nor is it Roman Catholicism. In my opinion it is the coalition of communism, socialism, Islam and social justice Christianity in the form of Globalism, implementing Global Governance. This is represented by the scarlet woman and the scarlet basket. The meaning of the woman and the basket is then explained in prophecy. (You are welcome to interpret the prophesies otherwise).
Malachi 1. God loves Israel, but Israel responded with insincere and polluted offerings.
