THE LAMB OF GOD AND THE 144,000

Then I looked, and this is what I saw: the Lamb stood [firmly established] on Mount Zion, and with Him a hundred and forty-four thousand who had His name and His Father’s name inscribed on their foreheads [signifying God’s own possession].

THE TWO BEASTS AND THEIR WORSHIPERS

And the dragon (Satan) stood on the sandy shore of the sea. [Dan_7:7] Then I saw a [vicious] beast coming up out of the sea with ten horns and seven heads, and on his horns were ten royal crowns (diadems), and on his heads were blasphemous names.

SATAN THROWN DOWN TO EARTH

Satan Thrown Down to Earth. And war broke out in heaven, Michael [the archangel] and his angels waging war with the dragon. The dragon and his angels fought,
but they were not strong enough and did not prevail, and there was no longer a place found for them in heaven

THE SEVENTH TRUMPET

Then the seventh angel sounded [his trumpet]; and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdom (dominion, rule) of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ; and He will reign forever and ever.” [Psa_22:28; Dan_2:31-45; Dan_7:13-14, Dan_7:27; Zec_14:9]

THE TWO WITNESSES

The only Two Witnesses we can refer to about the God-Head the Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, is the Bible consisting of the Old and New Testaments AS THE ONLY TRUTH.

THE ANGEL AND THE LITTLE SCROLL

Then the voice which I heard from heaven, I heard again speaking to me, and saying, “Go, take the book (scroll) which is open in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land.”
So I went up to the angel and told him to give me the little book. And he said to me, “Take it and eat it; it will make your stomach bitter, but in your mouth it will be as sweet as honey.”

THE FIRST WOE HAS PASSED TWO MORE COMING.

The first woe has passed; behold, two woes are still coming after these things.

THE SEVENTH SEAL AND THE GOLDEN CENSER>

The Seventh Seal and the Golden Censer. When He (the Lamb) broke open the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour [in awe of God’s impending judgment]. [Zep_1:7]
Then I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them.

A GREAT MULTITUDE FROM EVERY NATION

A Great Multitude from Every Nation. After these things I looked, and this is what I saw: a vast multitude which no one could count, [gathered] from every nation and from all the tribes and peoples and languages [of the earth], standing before the throne and before the Lamb (Christ), dressed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands;
and in a loud voice they cried out, saying, “Salvation [belongs] to our God who is seated on the throne, and to the Lamb [our salvation is the Trinity’s to give, and to God the Trinity we owe our deliverance].”

“THE WRATH OF THE LAMB”

The wrath of the Lamb. I looked when He (the Lamb) broke open the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth [made] of hair, and the whole moon became like blood; [Joe_2:10, Joe_2:31]
and the stars of the sky fell to the earth, like a fig tree shedding its late [summer] figs when shaken by a strong wind. [Isa_34:4]
