Today, we discuss the dual harvest of the earth as described in Revelation 14:14-20.  Thank you for joining us for this sobering message.

Revelation 14:14 Then I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and seated on the cloud one like a son of man, with a golden crown on his head, and a sharp sickle in his hand. 15 And another angel came out of the temple, calling with a loud voice to him who sat on the cloud, “Put in your sickle, and reap, for the hour to reap has come, for the harvest of the earth is fully ripe.” 16 So he who sat on the cloud swung his sickle across the earth, and the earth was reaped. 

17 Then another angel came out of the temple in heaven, and he too had a sharp sickle. 18 And another angel came out from the altar, the angel who has authority over the fire, and he called with a loud voice to the one who had the sharp sickle, “Put in your sickle and gather the clusters from the vine of the earth, for its grapes are ripe.” 19 So the angel swung his sickle across the earth and gathered the grape harvest of the earth and threw it into the great winepress of the wrath of God. 20 And the winepress was trodden outside the city, and blood flowed from the winepress, as high as a horse’s bridle, for 1,600 stadia.

Once again, we venture into the heavenly IMAX to witness three mighty angels and their judgment day messages to the earth.   This is a sobering harbinger of what we find described in the next section which shows the great day of judment depicted as a harvest of grain and a harvest of vintage grapes.   

REVELATION 14:6 Then I saw another angel flying directly overhead, with an eternal gospel to proclaim to those who dwell on earth, to every nation and tribe and language and people. 7 And he said with a loud voice, “Fear God and give him glory, because the hour of his judgment has come, and worship him who made heaven and earth, the sea and the springs of water.” 

8 Another angel, a second, followed, saying, “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, she who made all nations drink the wine of the passion of her sexual immorality.” 

9 And another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, 10 he also will drink the wine of God’s wrath, poured full strength into the cup of his anger, and he will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. 11 And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever, and they have no rest, day or night, these worshipers of the beast and its image, and whoever receives the mark of its name.” 

12 Here is a call for the endurance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God and their faith in Jesus. 

13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.” “Blessed indeed,” says the Spirit, “that they may rest from their labors, for their deeds follow them!”

Revelation 14:1–5 “Then I looked, and behold, on Mount Zion stood the Lamb, and with him 144,000 who had his name and his Father’s name written on their foreheads. 2 And I heard a voice from heaven like the roar of many waters and like the sound of loud thunder. The voice I heard was like the sound of harpists playing on their harps, 3 and they were singing a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and before the elders. No one could learn that song except the 144,000 who had been redeemed from the earth.  4 It is these who have not defiled themselves with women, for they are virgins. It is these who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These have been redeemed from mankind as firstfruits for God and the Lamb, 5 and in their mouth no lie was found, for they are blameless.”

Who are the 144,000 of Revelation 14?  Are they the same as the 144,000 of Revelation, chapter 7?   Find out in today's episode.

REV 14:1 “Then I looked, and behold, on Mount Zion stood the Lamb, and with him 144,000 who had his name and his Father’s name written on their foreheads.”

DID you know that thete is a true Zion (of God) and a false "Zion" (of man)?

In this episode we seek to identify the true Zion as opposed to its earthy imitation.  Some of this may ruffle the feathers of long-standing religious tradition, but we challenge you to take Bible in hand and to see of these things be true.

666 - THE infamous number that has been subject to all kinds of ridiculous speculation about it's meaning and the manner in which it is to be interpreted.  Of special focus is verse 18 of the section where two prerequisites are provided and are necessary to an accurate calculation the mark.  After this episode, we believe you will be possessed with a clear and biblically sound idea of how to interpret the mysterious portion of God's word.

Revelation 13:16 Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, 17 so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name. 18 This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666

666 - THE infamous number that strikes dread in all who hear of it.  It is the mark of the beast and the number of his name.

The mark is symbolic for loyalty -- loyalty to the great system of deception and of control.  But WHAT EXACTLY ARE THE CONSEQUENCES OF DENYING THE MARK?

We take a journey through history in this episode and trace out the experience of thise who, out of loyaty to Jesus, have refused to take the mark.

666 - THE infamous number that strikes dread in all who hear of it.  It is the mark of the beast and the number of his name.

The mark is symbolic for loyalty -- loyalty to the great system of deception and of control.  But the American Evangelical church is marked by distraction, compromise and weakness.  Will she be able to resist the powerful deception?

In this episode, we dive yet deeper into the heart of the dark deception of the second beast of Revelation 13:11-15.  We take a close look at emerging AI systems and consider the question: "Is it worth it to yield to the AI revolution, or should I opt-out?"  "Is it even possible to opt out"?

WE ALSO HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU ALSO WATCH THIS VIDEO: 

Then I saw another beast rising out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb and it spoke like a dragon. 12 It exercises all the authority of the first beast in its presence, and makes the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose mortal wound was healed. 13 It performs great signs, even making fire come down from heaven to earth in front of people, 14 and by the signs that it is allowed to work in the presence of the beast it deceives those who dwell on earth, telling them to make an image for the beast that was wounded by the sword and yet lived. 15 And it was allowed to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast might even speak and might cause those who would not worship the image of the beast to be slain.

In this live classroom episode, we dive yet deeper into the heart of the dark deception of the second beast of Revelation 13:11-15.  We take a close look at emerging AI systems and begin to ponder the question: "is AI a platform for the antichrist?"

It had two horns like a lamb and it spoke like a dragon. 12 It exercises all the authority of the first beast in its presence, and makes the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose mortal wound was healed. 13 It performs great signs, even making fire come down from heaven to earth in front of people, 14 and by the signs that it is allowed to work in the presence of the beast it deceives those who dwell on earth, telling them to make an image for the beast that was wounded by the sword and yet lived. 15 And it was allowed to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast might even speak and might cause those who would not worship the image of the beast to be slain.
