Title: What We Did (Revelation 14:12-16)
Contents The background of the characters in the book of Revelation is clearly divided into three parts.
Jesus Christ, the Antichrist, and the Christian.
Let's see what we introduce about Jesus Christ.
(Revelation 1:16) And in his right hand were seven stars, and out of his mouth a two-edged sword went out, and his face was like the powerfully shining sun.
(Revelation 2:1) ...the one who holds the seven stars in his right hand and walks among the seven golden candlesticks says:
(Revelation 2:8) ...the first and the last, the one who died and rose again
(Revelation 2:12) ...the one with the two-edged sword
(Revelation 2:18) ...the Son of God, whose eyes are like flames, and whose feet are like shining tin
(Revelation 3:1) ...the one who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars
(Revelation 3:7) ...the one who is holy and true, who has the key of David, who opens and no one will shut, and who shuts and no one opens
(Revelation 3:14) Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of God's creation.
(Revelation 4:2) He who sat on the throne
Next, let's look at the introduction to the Antichrist.
(Revelation 6:2) And I looked, and behold, a white horse, and its rider had a bow, and he received a crown, and went out conquering and trying to conquer.
(Revelation 6:4) Then came another red horse, and its rider was given permission to take peace from the earth, and to slay one another, and a great sword was given to him.
(Revelation 6:5) ...and a black horse came out, and the rider on it had scales in his hand.
(Revelation 6:8) And I saw a horse that was blue and yellow, and the name of its rider was Death, and Hades followed him...
(Revelation 12:3) ...and there was one great red dragon, with seven heads and ten horns, and on its heads there were seven crowns.
(Rev. 12:4) ...the dragon tried to swallow the child when she gave birth in front of the woman who was about to give birth.
(Revelation 12:9) And the great dragon was cast out, the old serpent, which is called the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world, and was cast out to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
(Revelation 13:1) And I saw a beast coming out of the sea, with ten horns and seven heads, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads blasphemous names.
(Revelation 13:2) And the beast I saw was like a leopard, and its feet were like the feet of a bear, and its mouth was like the mouth of a lion, and the dragon gave him his power and his throne and great authority.
(Revelation 13:3) One of his head was bruised, and it seemed to be dead; and the deadly wound was healed, and the whole earth marveled, and followed the beast.
Now let's talk about Christians.
(Revelation 7:14) ...he said to me, "These are those who come out of the great tribulation, and have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
(Revelation 11:12) And when they heard a loud voice from heaven saying, 'Come up here, they ascended on clouds into heaven, and their enemies also watched.
(Revelation 14:4) ...they follow the Lamb wherever he leads, having been redeemed from among men, with the firstfruits, they belong to God and the Lamb.
(Revelation 14:5) And in their mouth there was no lie and they were without blemish.
(Revelation 14:12) Here is the patience of the saints, who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.
(Revelation 19:8) He gave him permission to put on a bright and clean linen linen, which is the right conduct of the saints.
Thus, in the book of Revelation, Jesus Christ has certain power and authority, and the Antichrist is revealed to lie in imitation of Christ.
And Christian believers are those who persevere in tribulation and keep the faith.
Then, we would like to share with grace how to win in our faith life, how to discern the antichrist, and how to follow the words of Christ.
1. Jesus Christ is the last Sovereign.
Jesus Christ is not the one to win the crown, nor the one to conquer
And Jesus did not have seven heads, nor did he have ten horns, nor did he have seven crowns.
Jesus is the One who gives us His crown and the Sovereign Judge of false prophets.
(Revelation 14:14) And I saw a white cloud, and on the cloud sat one like the son of man, and on his head was a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.
The white cloud is like the ?쁟loud that suddenly shone??in Matthew 17:5.
A voice came out of the cloud, saying, ?쁔his is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; listen to him.
Jesus is on a cloud like this and comes again to ride on a cloud like this to judge.
Jesus has a golden crown on his head to declare that he is the fruit that overcame death through resurrection, the final sovereignty, and the victor.
To believe in Jesus is to receive the highest glory and honor in the last days.
I wish you more grace to believe.
2. Jesus Christ is the Last Judge.
Until the people of God, that is, Christians, come to the kingdom of God, the Antichrist causes them to fall through constant temptation, temptation, and tribulation.
Each time, the saints must keep their faith with patience, and Jesus Christ fights, overcomes, and judges the Antichrist.
(Revelation 14:15) Another angel came out of the temple, and cried with a loud voice to the one who sat on the cloud, "Switch your sickle and reap, for the time of harvest is coming, and the grain of the earth is ripe."
An angel holding the word of God comes out of the temple.
The temple is the holy altar of God and a spiritual training ground for the saints to learn the right deeds.
Therefore, our religious life and spiritual arming must be done through the temple centering on the temple. Because the temple is the body of Jesus Christ.
A seed planted in the ground necessarily bears fruit in due time, spreading and spreading another seed.
When it is ripe, God will harvest it.
If there are tares, but the branches are bare, or if you are only treading on the ground without fruit, you will never become a perfect Christian.
When the time is fulfilled, we pray that you will live only with faith and patience until it becomes God's holy harvest.
3. Jesus Christ is the last harvester.
God's grace must be the same as the beginning, the process, and the latter and the result.
It is unfortunate and unfortunate if you do well at the beginning and then go on to the later and results and remain empty with no achievements.
It is not right to begin in the name of Jesus Christ and end with the Antichrist, or end with the greed and arrogance of the world and the world.
The word ?쁯seudo??refers to something that looks good but has something completely different in essence.
That is, the outside and the inside are different.
Although it appears to be good and loyal, it confuses and confuses good saints or disguises virtue and benefit to cause evil and hurt.
?쁇eresy??means breaking away from orthodox doctrine and forming a faction with one?셲 own ideology, or starting at the church center, then falling into self-centeredness and confusing the doctrine and the gospel.
That's why it means 'the end is different'.
Jesus Christ thoroughly judges these ?쁯seudos and heresies??
(Revelation 14:16) And he who sat on the cloud swung his sickle to the ground, and the grain was harvested.
The fact that the one sitting on the cloud wields the sickle directly is because judgment and harvest cannot be left to others.
This is because lies and injustices, cults and cults all try to become judges by pretending to be similar.
As we have already seen in the book of Revelation, they too will be cast out to the earth, and their name is Death.
We need to be clearer and clearer about our faith in Jesus Christ.
We need to be more precise about holding on to Jesus Christ, persevering and keeping our faith.
Because, in the end times, only Jesus Christ is the Sovereign and Judge and Harvester.
