CITY on 7 hills

 

Revelation 17:9

King James Version

9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. 

The seven heads are seven mountains, 

on which the woman sitteth.

Which city on seven hills is the Book of Revelation referring to?

It's a recent study SPIRIT gave me to look into.

With the way the world is turning out, I know it's mighty important.

Further, if it was not important, it would not have been ONE whole chapter.

To better understand this prophecy, let's look into that chapter:

Revelation 17

King James Version

17 And there came one of the seven angels 

which had the seven vials, 

and talked with me, saying unto me, 

Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment 

of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:

2 With whom the kings of the earth 

have committed fornication, 

and the inhabitants of the earth 

have been made drunk 

with the wine of her fornication.

3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: 

and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, 

full of names of blasphemy, 

having seven heads and ten horns.

4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, 

and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, 

having a golden cup in her hand 

full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:

5 And upon her forehead was a name written, 

Mystery, Babylon The Great, 

The Mother Of Harlots 

And Abominations Of The Earth.

6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, 

and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: 

and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.

7 And the angel said unto me, 

Wherefore didst thou marvel? 

I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, 

and of the beast that carrieth her, 

which hath the seven heads and ten horns.

8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; 

and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, 

and go into perdition: 

and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, 

whose names were not written in the book of life 

from the foundation of the world, 

when they behold the beast that was, 

and is not, and yet is.

9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. 

The seven heads are seven mountains, 

on which the woman sitteth.

10 And there are seven kings: 

five are fallen, and one is, 

and the other is not yet come; 

and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.

11 And the beast that was, and is not,

 even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, 

and goeth into perdition.

12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, 

which have received no kingdom as yet; 

but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.

13 These have one mind, 

and shall give their power and strength 

unto the beast.

14 These shall make war with the Lamb, 

and the Lamb shall overcome them: 

for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: 

and they that are with him are called, 

and chosen, and faithful.

15 And he saith unto me, 

The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, 

are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.

16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, 

these shall hate the whore, 

and shall make her desolate and naked, 

and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.

17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, 

and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, 

until the words of God shall be fulfilled.

18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, 

which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

Rome is the city the Bible refers to.

Istanbul is trying to get into the scene, too.

I also noticed more CITIES on SEVEN hills.

I just follow where SPIRIT leads me.

For now, I present to you my initial findings.

Curiously, an article came up today.

As if to assist me in my writing.

It's a "curious" article, for what is an aviation blog doing looking into "The Seven Mountains and Seven Heads"?

What does an aviation site have to do with the Book of Revelation?

Curious, indeed.

Expect another post to dig deeper into these findings.

Today, this post merely serves as framework.

There is much work to do, and I'm on it.

Why?

We are in the end times.

The Rapture is imminent.

It's all preparation now.

Where do you stand?

Are you FOR, or against GOD?

That's really the bottomline.

That dictates the personal future you will have.

The SEVEN seals

 

Revelation 5:1-2

King James Version

5 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne 

a book written within and on the backside, 

sealed with seven seals.

2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, 

Who is worthy to open the book, 

and to loose the seals thereof?

After the church -- GOD's faithful -- have been Raptured, the Tribulation starts.

People left behind will experience GREAT suffering.

This post, and the succeeding ones, speak of what apostle John witnessed in spirit, as he was tasked to bear the WORD of GOD.

Let's start with the SEVEN seals.

The first four reveal the FOUR horsemen.

No man was worthy of opening the book.

Revelation 5:3

King James Version

3 And no man in heaven, 

nor in earth, 

neither under the earth, 

was able to open the book, 

neither to look thereon.

Only JESUS was worthy.

Revelation 5:5-7

King James Version

5 And one of the elders saith unto me, 

Weep not: 

behold, 

the Lion of the tribe of Judah, 

the Root of David, 

hath prevailed to open the book, 

and to loose the seven seals thereof.

6 And I beheld, 

and, lo, 

in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, 

and in the midst of the elders, 

stood a Lamb as it had been slain, 

having seven horns and seven eyes, 

which are the seven Spirits of God 

sent forth into all the earth.

7 And he came and took the book 

out of the right hand of him 

that sat upon the throne.

The SEVEN seals.

The FIRST seal. 

(The WHITE horse):

Revelation 6:1-2

King James Version

6 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, 

and I heard, 

as it were the noise of thunder, 

one of the four beasts saying, 

Come and see.

2 And I saw, 

and behold a white horse: 

and he that sat on him had a bow; 

and a crown was given unto him: 

and he went forth conquering, 

and to conquer.

The SECOND seal. 

(The RED horse):

Revelation 6:3-4

King James Version

3 And when he had opened the second seal, 

I heard the second beast say, 

Come and see.

4 And there went out another horse that was red: 

and power was given to him that sat thereon 

to take peace from the earth, 

and that they should kill one another: 

and there was given unto him a great sword.

The THIRD seal.

(The BLACK horse):

Revelation 6:5-6

King James Version

5 And when he had opened the third seal, 

I heard the third beast say, 

Come and see. 

And I beheld, 

and lo a black horse; 

and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.

6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, 

A measure of wheat for a penny, 

and three measures of barley for a penny; 

and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.

The FOURTH seal.

(The PALE horse):

Revelation 6:7-8

King James Version

7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, 

I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, 

Come and see.

8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: 

and his name that sat on him was Death, 

and Hell followed with him. 

And power was given unto them 

over the fourth part of the earth, 

to kill with sword, 

and with hunger, 

and with death, 

and with the beasts of the earth.

The FIFTH seal.

(God's faithful who were slain):

Revelation 6:9-11

King James Version

9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, 

I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain 

for the word of God, 

and for the testimony which they held:

10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, 

How long, O Lord, 

holy and true, 

dost thou not judge and avenge our blood 

on them that dwell on the earth?

11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; 

and it was said unto them, 

that they should rest yet for a little season, 

until their fellowservants also and their brethren, 

that should be killed as they were, 

should be fulfilled.

The SIXTH seal.

(The GREAT day of wrath):

Revelation 6:12-17

King James Version

12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, 

and, lo, there was a great earthquake; 

and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, 

and the moon became as blood;

13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, 

even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, 

when she is shaken of a mighty wind.

14 And the heaven departed as a scroll 

when it is rolled together; 

and every mountain and island 

were moved out of their places.

15 And the kings of the earth, 

and the great men, 

and the rich men, 

and the chief captains, 

and the mighty men, 

and every bondman, 

and every free man, 

hid themselves in the dens 

and in the rocks of the mountains;

16 And said to the mountains and rocks, 

Fall on us, 

and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, 

and from the wrath of the Lamb:

17 For the great day of his wrath is come; 

and who shall be able to stand?

The SEVENTH seal.

(GREAT silence):

Revelation 8:1

King James Version

8 And when he had opened the seventh seal, 

there was silence in heaven 

about the space of half an hour.

After that silence, this:

Revelation 8:2-6

King James Version

2 And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; 

and to them were given seven trumpets.

3 And another angel came and stood at the altar, 

having a golden censer; 

and there was given unto him much incense, 

that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints 

upon the golden altar which was before the throne.

4 And the smoke of the incense, 

which came with the prayers of the saints, 

ascended up before God out of the angel's hand.

5 And the angel took the censer, 

and filled it with fire of the altar, 

and cast it into the earth: 

and there were voices, 

and thunderings, 

and lightnings, 

and an earthquake.

6 And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets 

prepared themselves to sound.

What is the significance of those SEVEN angels?

And the sounding of their trumpets?

Find out on the next post.

The New Jerusalem of God

1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: 

for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; 

and there was no more sea.

2 And I John saw the holy city, 

new Jerusalem, 

coming down from God out of heaven, 

prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, 

Behold, 

the tabernacle of God is with men, 

and he will dwell with them, 

and they shall be his people, 

and God himself shall be with them, 

and be their God.

4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; 

and there shall be no more death, 

neither sorrow, 

nor crying, 

neither shall there be any more pain: 

for the former things are passed away.

5 And he that sat upon the throne said, 

Behold, 

I make all things new. 

And he said unto me, 

Write: 

for these words are true and faithful.

Revelation 21:1-5 

King James Version

Do you long for God's GLORY?

Do you wish for eternal beauty, peace, love, and joy? 

Read how beautiful and magnificent the New Jerusalem -- the City of God -- would be: 

10 And he carried me away in the spirit 

to a great and high mountain, 

and shewed me that great city, 

the holy Jerusalem, 

descending out of heaven from God,

11 Having the glory of God: 

and her light was like unto a stone most precious, 

even like a jasper stone, 

clear as crystal;

12 And had a wall great and high, 

and had twelve gates, 

and at the gates twelve angels, 

and names written thereon, 

which are the names 

of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:

13 On the east three gates; 

on the north three gates; 

on the south three gates; 

and on the west three gates.

14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, 

and in them the names 

of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

15 And he that talked with me 

had a golden reed to measure the city, 

and the gates thereof, 

and the wall thereof.

16 And the city lieth foursquare, 

and the length is as large as the breadth: 

and he measured the city with the reed, 

twelve thousand furlongs. 

The length and the breadth 

and the height of it are equal.

17 And he measured the wall thereof, 

an hundred and forty and four cubits, 

according to the measure of a man, 

that is, 

of the angel.

18 And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: 

and the city was pure gold, 

like unto clear glass.

19 And the foundations of the wall of the city 

were garnished with all manner of precious stones. 

The first foundation was jasper; 

the second, sapphire; 

the third, a chalcedony; 

the fourth, an emerald;

20 The fifth, sardonyx; 

the sixth, sardius; 

the seventh, chrysolyte; 

the eighth, beryl; 

the ninth, a topaz; 

the tenth, a chrysoprasus; 

the eleventh, a jacinth; 

the twelfth, an amethyst.

21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls: 

every several gate was of one pearl: 

and the street of the city was pure gold, 

as it were transparent glass.

Revelation 21:10-21 (KJV)

Most importantly, the New Jerusalem, will have no need for a temple, nor the sun, and the moon: 

22 And I saw no temple therein: 

for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb 

are the temple of it.

23 And the city had no need of the sun, 

neither of the moon, 

to shine in it: 

for the glory of God did lighten it, 

and the Lamb is the light thereof.

Revelation 21:22-23 (KJV)

There shall be no more curse.

Everything will be made pure with the water of life, and the tree of life.

22 And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, 

clear as crystal, 

proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.

2 In the midst of the street of it, 

and on either side of the river, 

was there the tree of life, 

which bare twelve manner of fruits, 

and yielded her fruit every month:

 and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

3 And there shall be no more curse: 

but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; 

and his servants shall serve him:

4 And they shall see his face; 

and his name shall be in their foreheads.

5 And there shall be no night there; 

and they need no candle, 

neither light of the sun; 

for the Lord God giveth them light: 

and they shall reign for ever and ever.

Revelation 22:1-5 (KJV)

Serve no one but the LORD, and you will have a place in that City, when Christ returns for His people!

If this world makes you weary, remember that our only HOPE is in JESUS! 

4 In whom the god of this world 

hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, 

lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, 

who is the image of God, 

should shine unto them.

2 Corinthians 4:4 (KJV)
