My
Sheep Hear My Voice- Rev. 18:7
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
18
How
much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much
torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a
queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
Rev.
18:7
for
she saith...
Here Babylon is personified as a queen and chief of all cities (Rev.
18:7; Isa. 47:5, 47:7).
and
am no... A proud, but empty, boast of self-sufficiency, also made by
historical Babylon (Isa. 47:8; compare 1 Cor. 10:12).
This
is describing 3 sins she is guilty of.
(1) "She has glorified herself" meaning she was proud;
(2) "She lived Deliciously" meaning she pursued self-gratification; and
(3) "I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow" meaning she was not only proud but boastful.
That proud boast echoes that of ancient Babylon who said "I will be a queen forever" and I will not sit as a widow, nor know loss of children. Now read that boast (in Isaiah 47):
Isaiah 47:7-8 "And thou saidst, I shall be a lady for ever: [so] that thou didst not lay these [things] to thy heart, neither didst remember the latter end of it." "Therefore hear now this, [thou that art] given to pleasures, that dwellest carelessly, that sayest in thine heart, I [am], and none else beside me; I shall not sit [as] a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children."
Babylon
will receive torture and grief commensurate with her glory and
luxury, in which she boasted that she was a queen (Rev. 18:7).
