Revelation 16Revelation 18
The Great Prostitute * * * * * * * * * **Revelations*Chapter 17: The Living Bible*
1One of the seven angels who had poured out the seven bowls came over and spoke to me. “Come with me,” he said, “and I will show you the judgment that is going to come on the great prostitute, who rules over many waters.2The kings of the world have committed adultery with her, and the people who belong to this world have been made drunk by the wine of her immorality.”
3So the angel took me in the Spirit*into the wilderness. There I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that had seven heads and ten horns, and blasphemies against God were written all over it.4The woman wore purple and scarlet clothing and beautiful jewelry made of gold and precious gems and pearls. In her hand she held a gold goblet full of obscenities and the impurities of her immorality.*5A mysterious name was written on her forehead: “Babylon the Great, Mother of All Prostitutes and Obscenities in the World.”*6I could see that she was drunk—drunk with the blood of God’s holy people who were witnesses for Jesus. I stared at her in complete amazement.
7“Why are you so amazed?” the angel asked. “I will tell you the mystery of this woman and of the beast with seven heads and ten horns on which she sits.*8The beast you saw was once alive but isn’t now. And yet he will soon come up out of the bottomless pit*and go to eternal destruction. And the people who belong to this world, whose names were not written in the Book of Life before the world was made, will be amazed at the reappearance of this beast who had died.
9“This calls for a mind with understanding: The seven heads of the beast represent the seven hills where the woman rules. They also represent seven kings.*10Five kings have already fallen, the sixth now reigns, and the seventh is yet to come, but his reign will be brief.
11“The scarlet beast that was, but is no longer, is the eighth king. He is like the other seven, and he, too, is headed for destruction.*12The ten horns of the beast are ten kings who have not yet risen to power. They will be appointed to their kingdoms for one brief moment to reign with the beast.*13They will all agree to give him their power and authority.*14-Together*they will go to war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will defeat them because he is Lord of all lords and King of all kings. And his called and chosen and faithful ones will be with him.”
15Then the angel said to me, “The waters where the prostitute is ruling represent masses of people of every nation and language.**

2nd Timothy 3:13.
I noticed some activity that this scripture warned about. Evil men using the masculine
gender as the bible refers to the man first but meaning both genders. that evil people shall go from
bad to worse, from worse to worse.
Here many have been approached just as the word said, there are posts of hatred at the work place
Where they live, etc. The lord said in another scripture, marvel nt that the world hate you, it
hated me first. People going up o folk nd hitting them some knocked to the ground have died. It is no different with words.Satan spews his words like fiery darts, against the believers in Christ. You know that scripture say, the entire world is under the on trol of evil the prince of darkness which is Satan the decicever.

We need to put on the whole armor of God. Those who spoke about the hatred Is no different than what I.ve experienced. There are avenues to take to defeat the wiles of evil. The Lord said he didn't die for us to abandoned us or leave us as orphans. Remember this word, no oe shall withstand the power of the almighty. He will and does destroy the wicked,for we are more than conquers through him Christ Jesus, though the wicked try to one in as a flood, the Lord puts p a standard against them. They are no challenge before a God, therefore be not afraid for the Lord is before us or us, and who then could be against us in any ways, they will be confronted with the mighty arm of the light, Those that are bad will get worse, evil people shall wax worse and worse, and the love of many shall grow cold, a reminder don't let hatered and bitterness poison you for evil men's words are the vipers that bite, inflicting their poisonous hate. Jesus called them You brood of vipers. Evil men shall be destroyed, it says it and if God said it then let every man be a liar, but God is not a man that he would lie, nd his word stands sure to be brought about. Be encourgaged or the evil of discouragement is on the isle, we need to prepare to fight fully clothed armed with the word into spiritual warfare.

** * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Heya *you know that God wants us to be upfront with him.
He dosn't like hypocrites. Many times in the bible Jesus called the fakers, those who just put on a show, vipers, hypocrites. Someone who isn't honest, someone who isn't sincere, and*doesn't*really care about people's feeling, and neither their own, not having the ability to have empathy, love, or compassion.
** * * * * * * * * *
This is true, because of the above scripture. Be honest with yourself. If you don't know God, or claim to be an*atheist, or want to know him, as a*personal*Lord and savior, then don't put on a show, he*doesn't*like cons, people who paint a picture of themselves as something they are when in fact they are not. God loves a clean heart. It your not on fire as Elijah the*Prophet*of God, was and said, there's a fire in my bones, then there is the other side of this, those who are cold hearted, and unfeeling, not able to love. The other's the Lord calls Lukewarm, like your pretending to be a believer, sometimes it could be called "RELIGIOUS' doing the actions, but not not doing the commandments of the Lord's words. This is the difference. This he called Hypocrites, like he called the*Pharisees, who crossed over to the other side of the road, to get away from the *wounded hurting man. Being in a high status also but a man on a donkey came along and helped him, payed for his care, and binded with his bandages, where he was beaten and hurt. Lukewarm, is Religious Propaganda stuff, it's strutting yourself around in a big way, when you don't have nothing to offer any one from your self, it's all about your self, and lover of self, instead of loving others, with a fervent love. A fire of of his, and from his heart, it says, God is a consuming fire. Other's will feel it when your near them, *believer me, they will. God Bless you.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

33:15-24 The true believer watches against all occasions of sin. The Divine power will keep him safe, and his faith in that power will keep him easy. He shall want nothing needful for him. Every blessing of salvation is freely bestowed on all that ask with humble, believing prayer; and the believer is safe in time and for ever. Those that walk uprightly shall not only have bread given, and their water sure, but they shall, by faith, see the King of kings in his beauty, the beauty of holiness. The remembrance of the terror they were in, shall add to the pleasure of their deliverance. It is desirable to be quiet in our own houses, but much more so to be quiet in God's house; and in every age Christ will have a seed to serve him. Jerusalem had no large river running by it, but the presence and power of God make up all wants. We have all in God, all we need, or can desire. By faith we take Christ for our Prince and Saviour; he reigns over his redeemed people. All that refuse to have Him to reign over them, make shipwreck of their souls. Sickness is taken away in mercy, when the fruit of it is the taking away of sin. If iniquity be taken away, we have little reason to complain of outward affliction. This last verse leads our thoughts, not only to the most glorious state of the gospel church on earth, but to heaven, where no sickness or trouble can enter. He that blotteth out our transgressions, will heal our souls.

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 16.*-*He shall dwell on high; literally,*inhabit heights - live, as it were, in the perpetual presence of God.*His place of defense*shall be the munitions of rocks; rather,*strongholds of rocks(i.e.*rocky strongholds)*shall be his refuge. He shall fly to God, as his "Rock and his Fortress" (
Psalm 18:2), not*from*him, as his "Enemy and Avenger" (Pc. 8:2).*Bread... waters;*i.e.*all that is necessary for his support and sustenance.*Shall be given him...*shall be sure; rather, is*given him...*is sure. Godliness has "the*promise of the life that now*is,"*as*well as that of the life "which*is to come" (1 Timothy 4:8).*

Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible

He shall dwell on high,.... And so in safety: this is opposed to the fears of hypocrites, the grovelling life of a worldling, and the low life of many professors, and is expressive of the security of good men. It may respect the state of the saints on earth, who dwell by faith on God, as their covenant God, on his everlasting love and unchangeable grace; on Christ, as their Redeemer and Saviour; and in their thoughts and contemplations on heavenly things, where Christ is; and particularly in the spiritual reign of Christ, after the destruction of antichrist, when such shall dwell quietly and safely in God's holy hill, the church, which shall be established upon the top of the mountains: and it may also respect the state of the saints in heaven, which is a dwelling on high, and where they will be safe from everlasting burnings, and out of the reach of all enemies:*

his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks; Christ is "the place of defence" to his people, against avenging justice, the curse and condemnation of the law, the wrath of God, sin and all its dreadful consequences, Satan and all enemies: and he is "the munitions of rocks"; he is "a Rock" himself, for them to build upon, and shelter in; and like "fortresses" made out of "rocks", which can never be undermined, blown up, or broke through:*

bread shall be given him: not only shall he be in safety, but shall enjoy the greatest plenty of blessings, particularly spiritual ones; above all, Christ, the bread of God from heaven, the true bread, the bread of life, which gives and supports life, and secures an eternal one; as also the word and ordinances, which are the provisions of Zion, and which all its inhabitants are favoured with; for these are all the "gifts" of divine goodness. The Targum is,*

"in the house of the sanctuary his soul shall be satisfied, his food shall be sufficient:''*

his waters shall be sure; Christ and his fulness, the Spirit and his grace, the Gospel doctrines, and ordinances of it; the believer may be assured of a supply from Christ's fulness; the grace of the Spirit is never failing, and is persevering; and Gospel doctrines and ordinances are not deceitful brooks, but yield comfort and refreshment: compare with this,*
Revelation 7:15.*

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

16. on high—heights inaccessible to the foe (Isa 26:1).

bread … waters—image from the expected siege by Sennacherib; however besieged by trials without, the godly shall have literal and spiritual food, as God sees good for them (Isa 41:17; Ps 37:25; 34:10; 132:15).

*This is the experience of the Heights of being in the presence of God. I hope you read this, this is not fiction, it is real, and it could be for everyone, though some things of the cares of life, distract us from being fully imurged and drenched, soaked in his word, like the story of the word the gospel seeds dropped on the ground, on a stony place, a hard cold stoney heart, and the fowls of the air came and ate it. Then the seed that was dropped into the heart of shallow soil, well neither here nor there, and the roots did not take form, and the wind and storms came and it was uprooted, and the seed that was dropped on dry ground, or good ground, which is our attitude, what we decide to do with it all. The cares of life, no time to get close to God in prayer reading etc. is cares of life, which is not a sin, but it does not go deep into our lives to take hold of strong roots.
This is great read. I luv to read this everyday. HOpe you enjoy it. :)

If I give all my money to the poor, or those in need, or whatever, you think , it just sinks without love.

Ever wonder, why there are many people who are lonely, you can't buy love, you can't bribe the Lord.*

Matthew 6:2

When you give do not draw attention to yourself or as the hypocrites, for you already got your reward, but when you give, do it in secret, even so that your left hand wont' know of what your right hand has done, and your heavenly Father will reward you openly.*

Who wrote the new rules? The word of the Lord was breathed on to those who God called, and used them, for do miracles, heal, deliver, call unto repentance, and write the word. It was those marters the phrophets, and the disicples who were willing to die for their love for what stands as libery, freedom, truth, and love.They did die as martyers. If God has said something to them via through the holy spirit, and even when the Lord Christ walked on this earth, he taught, and had many words to say, to his disciples. One of these that was written was that there should be no one's business what you do as far as giving. It should not even be brought to as attention seekers, or men pleasers or look at me, I'm waving my offering, this is not scriptural, read the word. Those who deny the word, do not follow after the savior, and have made up another bible. If it is thought that it will be known about someone giving in grabing attention this verse already said, that that's all you'll ever get, is attention from man, that is your final reward. There is a reason God said this to his disciples, because it causes pride. Look at me, and other's start to compare other's to them as role models, and give them the best front seat, you know what the word says about this. It is sin, and those who are first shall be last, it is pure evil pride. Trying to compare other's to *some bigshot giver, this is exactly what Christ said, your a hypocrite, and if you think your going to get something you already did, your attention, but do your alms you charity in secret, and the Lord will reward you openly. The fear of man is a snare. Meaning. Your a coward, and are weak. Which is the definition of snare. It is a trap, and it is not from God. Get with the program, or the wicked will rewire your thinking. There are reasons that things are written as they are. "who wants to pray for someone who spits at you." Or forgive. There are reasons for every command. If you pray, you have to forgive, otherwise you won't even be able to pray for those people, it is hard sometimes like bending steel, but this is where your spiritual strenght in faith, and hope in God come in. This is the test if your strong if not then you need to get strong. It will continue, if you don't pray for your enemies, or tormentors, harassers, why?
Because the evil will have them in his power. When we pray the HOly Spirit is able to break through the stronghold, and darkness, and reach into their soul, and spirit, and the power of God, through this will convict them, things start happening, sometimes real bad things to get through to them, sometimes not as severe, but it will end, for their is no greater authority and power than God's , and evil has to bow it's knee. So Jesus said, don't be like the hypocrites, and make some kind of scene when you give, your just a hypocrite, he said it not me.

Psalms 42:2 My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?

Tired of this life, tired of the flesh rising up against me, tired of my mind and my thoughts too, there's nothing to find anywhere.
I want to be with God, without anything bugging or interrupting.

[h=1]Psalms
19[/h]
1 .) The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
2 .) Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
3 .) There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
4 .) Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,
5 .) Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
6 .) His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
7 .) The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.
8 .) The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.
9 .) The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.
10 .) More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
11 .) Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.
12 .) Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.
13 .) Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.
14 .) Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.

Psalms 22:11 Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.

It is kind of hard to accept that nobody will ever be there for you except God, and anything sure of a foundation is either just an illusion or a blessing that you have been given that He is not repenting on. People, even fellow believers, are humans with limited resources, fallible, too occupied with the burdens of their own lives. I have no one out of Him. You have no one out of Him. We cant even say "we". He is the "we". "Let *us* make the man in our image..." Love is growing cold and everybody is doing their own thing. Men are men. Sorry for the ramble. It is just a realization that I had during the whole last year. But it also gets easier when you dont hope that anybody will help you (except God).

2 Corinthians 5:7

For we live by faith, not by sight.

For we live by believing and not by seeing.

for we walk by faith, not by sight.

***************
*Think for a moment walking through the alleys, with all kinds of things garbage smelling, etc.
Life could be like this sometimes.
We walk through *trials, temptations, and places.
What if there was no faith in us, we would look at the heaviness of sin, and there would be no hope.
The bible says, we are citizens of heaven, being engrafted into the branch, part of the coveannt of Jesus Christ's inheritance to his kingdom.
Spiritually speaking.
The 23 Psalm says, yo though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me.
This world could just be like that valley, where hope is lost and it's that shadow and not the light of life, the hope that comes from God.
The Lord calls us stiff necked, and rebellious sometimes.
WE just don't do what he says.
Walk by faith, and not by what you see, and neither what you hear.
Cause, we walk through it, our lives with Jesus won't keep us lingering in the dark alley of defeat, hopelessness, and emptyness.
A true story about a cat that was hit, laid in a pool of blood, and was buried.*
He dug himself out, and went back to the house he lived.
People just don't care to live anymore, there's nothing for their soul to feed on.
That cat knew he was going to be fed, and went back from the dead, the strenght and force of love.
It it was abused, neglected, it's spirit proably wouldn't want to return to this earth.
Jesus Christ came to bring Love.
Satan came to bring fear.
Perfect love casts out fear.
Even in the valley if we walk past those suffering we could bring hope, and make their will stronger to live, by love.
This is what Jesus was all about.
He said, what you've done to the least of these, you've done to me.
Keep your eyes on the illuminator, the one that brightens,
not the*eliminator**the evil that takes away and darkens.
So walk by faith, use your spiritual senses, and not by your natural sight.*
