REVELATION
«Chapter 14»

Then I looked, and there before me was the Lamb, standing on Mount Zion, and with him 144,000 who had his name and his Father’s name written on their foreheads. And I heard a sound from heaven like the roar of rushing waters and like a loud peal of thunder. The sound I heard was like that of harpists playing their harps. And they sang a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders. No one could learn the song except the 144,000 who had been redeemed from the earth. These are those who did not defile themselves with women, for they kept themselves pure. They follow the Lamb wherever he goes. They were purchased from among men and offered as firstfruits to God and the Lamb. No lie was found in their mouths; they are blameless.

Then I saw ANOTHER ANGEL flying in midair, and he had the eternal gospel to proclaim to those who live on the earth—to every nation, tribe, language and people. He said in a loud voice, “Fear God and give him glory, because the hour of his judgment has come. Worship him who made the heavens, the earth, the sea and the springs of water.”

A SECOND ANGEL followed and said, “Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great, which made all the nations drink the maddening wine of her adulteries.”

A THIRD ANGEL followed them and said in a loud voice: “If anyone worships the beast and his image and receives his mark on the forehead or on the hand, he, too, will drink of the wine of God’s fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath. He will be tormented with burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment rises for ever and ever. There is no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and his image, or for anyone who receives the mark of his name.” This calls for patient endurance on the part of the saints who obey God’s commandments and remain faithful to Jesus.

Then I heard a voice from heaven say, “Write: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.”

“Yes,” says the Spirit, “they will rest from their labor, for their deeds will follow them.”

I looked, and there before me was a white cloud, and seated on the cloud was one “like a son of man” with a crown of gold on his head and a sharp sickle in his hand. Then another angel came out of the temple and called in a loud voice to him who was sitting on the cloud, “Take your sickle and reap, because the time to reap has come, for the harvest of the earth is ripe.” So he who was seated on the cloud swung his sickle over the earth, and the earth was harvested.

Another angel came out of the temple in heaven, and he too had a sharp sickle. Still another angel, who had charge of the fire, came from the altar and called in a loud voice to him who had the sharp sickle, “Take your sharp sickle and gather the clusters of grapes from the earth’s vine, because its grapes are ripe.” The angel swung his sickle on the earth, gathered its grapes and threw them into the great winepress of God’s wrath. They were trampled in the winepress outside the city, and BLOOD FLOWED OUT OF THE PRESS, RISING AS HIGH AS THE HORSES’ BRIDLES FOR A DISTANCE OF 1,600 STADIA.

Thank you as always for the stained glass windows!

#12 Solomon Simeon, English painter associated with the pre-Raphaelite. Although he contributed to the 19th c. Bible Gallery of the brothers Danziel, this drawing was considered too risque for the Bible and exhibited separately.
#18 Hunt, one of the founders of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. Wonderful symbolism.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Alba, your willingness to bless us by sharing your nearly encyclopedic knowledge is consistently refreshing and fun. As always: Many thanks!

[etabeta]

Dan, I don’t have encyclopedic knowledge but I refer often to my notebook full of info on various artists. Glad to share.

[InkStone]

Good Morning Dan; wonderful and frightening events depicted here... and these are not just stories- as the Word of God never fails, each of these events WILL occur.

Thank You Dan, and greatly enjoy the comments and insights shared herein.

[Hebrews 11:6]

each of these events WILL occur

God calls His shots beforehand--in writing--and then He makes them, every****single****time.

The Leopard in the painting.

And from Jeremiah 5:6, which describes the beasts when raging out of control: Therefore a lion from the forest shall slay them, and a wolf from the desert shall destroy them. A leopard is watching against their cities, every one who goes out of them shall be torn in pieces because their transgressions are many, their apostasies are great.

In Dante's Inferno the Leopard represents the sins of malice and fraud.

[Pete from Shawnee Mission]

Thank you for all your work in assembling this series of threads! (Mrs. Pete enjoys it too!)

[Delta 21]

I heard when President Lincoln heard this at Appomattox he asked the band to play it again.

[Hebrews 11:6]

My pleasure, Pete.

Thanks for contributing the OT reference, one of so many which explain Revelation’s symbols. The Bible is like any well-written drama, where at the end the Author draws together all the disparate threads into a wonderful tapestry. There are no loose ends....

[InkStone]

Thank you for the link: what an EPIC!

Enjoyed your bio: God bless your sacrifice for the USA.

We suffer intense agony in watching our nation come apart...

May God bring revival to America, thru our faith in Him, by His Son, Jesus Yeshua the Redeemer.

[Hebrews 11:6]

As He died to make men holy
Let us die to make men free
While God is marching on!

Your link is one of two I keep. Thanks for providing us with it!

[Delta 21]

Between this awesome song I just listened to for the 3rd time, and your blessing, my screen is blurry in spots.

[Maudeen]

I am basically an art aficionado flunky but I so enjoy looking at the pics.

[etabeta]

Thank you!

[Ezekiel]

Rev 14:2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:

This is one of my favorite verses. For some reason John was really harping on it.

Maybe it’s some kind of inside joke.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Perhaps John thought harpers bizarre.

[Ezekiel]

🤣

Well, not like he would want to date any of them.

Too many strings attached.

[Hebrews 11:6]

He wasn’t pickin’ up good vibrations....
