Seven plagues speaks about great finale. Revelation is not chronological order not like Genesis. On this chapter John speaks more about tribulations. The description of Hell Matthew 13:49-50 49 This is how it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous 50 and throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. God is angry on this chapter for those who rejected the Holy Spirit or have the mark of the beast, and keep in mind that the believers are already in Heaven - after the rapture. God will Surely Judge, how does there words affect us? Come to think of it, are you qualified to go to Heaven? Always be prepared to give the answers to those who asks. Those who are victorious over the Beast are those who didn't received the mark of the beast. "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom but fools despise wisdom and understanding". In other words be under God's leadin

As Christians whatever we are doing, we must always depend on the Lord. And be use by the Lord. David first became the King of Hebron and served 7 then He served as the King of Israel for 40 years. FEAR - means F.alse E.vidence A.re not R.eal Joab - is nephew of David, son of David's sister. David was successful because the Lord was with him. The secret to become great in the side of God is to make God important to us. If God is for us, who can be against us? John 15:5 "I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. Pray for each other and be with the body of Christ. Depend on God and always recognize those who prayed for you. Give everything to Christ as anything you give to God is never wasted. Charles Haddon (C.H.) Spurgeon (June 19, 1834 – January 31, 1892) was a British Particular Baptist preacher who remains highly influential among Christians of different denominations

In the world today sins are prevalent. White Cloud - sign of the presence of God. Numbers 9:17 Whenever the cloud lifted from above the Tent, the Israelites set out; wherever the cloud settled, the Israelites encamped. "Godliness with contentment is great gain." Revelation is about Jesus. And not about the church. If we love God with all our hearts and make Him the King of our life you will serve Him whole heartedly. The parable of weeds . . . Matthew 13:24-29 24 Jesus told them another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. 25 But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away. 26 When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, then the weeds also appeared. 27 "The owner's servants came to him and said, 'Sir, didn't you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?' 28 " 'An enemy did this,' he replied. "The servants a

Philistines - The Philistines were an uncircumcised people inhabiting the shore plain between Gezer and Gaza in Southwestern Palestine (see PHILISTIA). The name Palestine itself (Hebrew pelesheth) refers to their country. The word means "migrants," and they came from another country. They are noticed 286 times in the Old Testament, and their country 8 times. source: http://refbible.com/p/philistines.htm The Importance of Worship David emphasized worship as the foundation of Israel. As soon as he conquered Jerusalem, he brough the ark of the covenant there. He made preparations to build the temple and organized the priest and Levites to serve there. He established large corps of musicians to praise God. In response, God promised that a line of leaders would descend from him (1 Chronicles 17:10-14) The hardest part in our Christian life is when we don't have the power of the Holy Spirit. Suicide is a sign of desperation and lack of faith in God. Base on the survey so

When an athlete run without preparation for example stretching and warm up exercise he/she will end up hurting his/her body. And so, this is also the same with our walk with the Lord. We must continue to stretch and do the warm up exercise in order to win the race (our Christian walk). Continue the relationship with God even in the midst of tribulation. As in the end we will be with Jesus Christ forever. In the context at Revelation 14:3-4 3 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. 4 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. The 144,000 are the Isrealites. The Lamb is Jesus Christ. Mt. Zion - supporting verses are in Romans 9:33 As it is written: "See, I lay in Zion a

First Chronicles condense the most important of the genealogical information. It was meant to help the Israelites reestablish their identity as God's people. In tonight's teaching we will talk about how to be use by God. Now, will you use the cup if its dirty? Of course not, before we use the cup we will clean it first and then use it. In other words we should clean ourselves from sin and be use by God, if we are cleansed God will use us. And allow God to use us. He will build the person according to what He wanted. The more you allow your self to learn His word the more opportunity for you to grow and be used by God. God will equipt you in whatever you need if you freely allow yourself to be used by God. And be set apart for God to live a life of pure and maintain purity, be exclusively sold out to Christ, and do your part to be an example to other believers, through the way we speak and act. The moment we make Christ our foundation He will continue to protect

The key verse is from this chapter is on Revelation 1:19 Do you remember the song "The Great Pretender"? The lyrics of this song are for hypocrites. These days, there are so many persons who are deceived by religion. Matthew 7:15 Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. If the preacher teaches the Bible and be proud of himself and not humble then He is a false prophet. If he proclaim to be a lamb then inside he is a wolf. 3 things to identify a false prophet: He will use himself as positive example always boasting about himself. The second thing is he will teach about money all the time. And even ask for money and give an account to deposit your money. Each man should give what you want to give cheerfully not reluctantly as God likes the cheerful giver. 3rd A false prophet always teach how we are blessed and not the trials and tribulation. Anti-Christ has power that look like Christ performi

The more we have the knowledge of this world the more we tend to boast. But God will use the broken people. The point is when you surrender wholly to God, He will use you. First, we need to have the right relationship with God. Read the Bible and pray everyday. We are redeem only by the Blood of Jesus Christ. It is never about religion, we are saved only thru faith with Jesus Christ, not even Calvary Chapel can save you. We need to be hungry not on what the world brings but what the heavenly things brings. Our body is the temple of God. So if you abuse it you're not worshipping God properly. Sin - is when you missed the mark. God is concern to us in a sense He gave us the Power. Whoever get the power - gets the glory.
