My
Sheep Hear My Voice- Rev. 16:19
Before
Jesus was crucified He told the disciples to watch and pray,
something so simple, but they let their physical bodies take over and
they fell back asleep. In these last hours of time you need to hear
His voice. When He tells you something, it is very important, but
most ignore my voice or just discuss it and go on with what they were
doing. You will see many things start to happen shortly and if you do
not hear and obey His voice,... it will mean death for some of
you....Jesus has only your best interest in mind. Christ knows you
heart, and if you are truly His you will hear His voice. He awakes
many of you at 3am on the dot, but most will roll over and go back to
sleep. There are a few who will get up and pray. Your day is filled
with so many things and Jesus is the last thing many of you give your
time to. But Christ needs to talk to you,... to fellowship with you
and only when you are still and quite (3am) can you hear Him,... the
rest of your day is so busy you do not have time for Him,... but you
need to make time, for time is short and the Lord has instructions
for you.
Revelation
16
And the great city was
divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and
great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the
cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. Rev. 16:19
was
divided into... “The great
city” (compare 11:13; 21:10; see Zech. 14:1-8). Jerusalem will be
split into 3 parts (Zech. 14:4), not as a judgment (compare 11:13),
but as an improvement. The additional water supply (Zech. 14:8), and
topographical changes (Zech. 14:4-5), will prepare the city for its
central place in the millennial kingdom. Jerusalem is the only city
to be spared the judgment (compare 1 Chron. 23:25; Psalm 125:1-2;
Micah 4:7), and will be made more beautiful (Psalm 48:2), because of
her repentance (see 11:13).
And great Babylon... The capital of the Antichrist’s empire will receive a special outpouring of God’s wrath as prophesied (in Isaiah 13:6-13). Chapters 17 and 18 give details of its destruction.
the cup of... God remembered Babylon the Great and gave her the cup filled with the wine of the fury of his wrath. Every island fled away and the mountains could not be found.
In (chapter 11:8), we see where the witnesses were killed described as "the great city". This is Jerusalem where it is spiritually called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
The massive earth quake will split Jerusalem into 3 parts. When the Mount of Olives splits in two, it will create a chasm into which the believers can seek refuge until the awful carnage is completed. Its interesting to note that there is a fault line that runs under the Mount of Olives that moves in exactly the same direction that the Bible prophesies.
Zech.
14:3-5 "Then the Lord will go forth and fight against those
nations, as when He fights on a day of battle. And in that day His
feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, which is in front of
Jerusalem on the east; and the Mount of Olives will be split in its
middle from east to west by a very large valley, so that half of the
mountain will move toward the north and the other half toward the
south. And you will flee by the valley of My mountains, for the
valley of the mountains will reach to Azel; yes, you will flee just
as you fled before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of
Judah."
Jerusalem
is being prepared for the central role it plays during the millennial
kingdom. This is where New Jerusalem will come down out of heaven and
rest.In addition, "cities of the nations collapsed," meaning that all of the cities of the world will be destroyed.
The
great city which split into three parts refers to the changes to
Jerusalem. The most important event, however, is that the cities of
the nations collapsed. The huge earthquake will reduce to rubble all
the cities of the nations (Gentiles). The stage is thus being set for
the second coming of Christ. Obviously in the collapse of the world’s
cities there will be tremendous loss of life and destruction of what
is left of the world empire.Though Jerusalem is mentioned in Rev.
11:8 as “the great city, which is figuratively called Sodom and
Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified,” “the great city of
God”. God will give Babylon the cup filled with the wine of the
fury of His wrath, that is, she will experience a terrible outpouring
of His judgment.
