TEXT: REVELATION 20:7-10
TOPIC: THE INNATE CORRUPTION OF HUMAN NATURE

(REVELATION 20:7-10 NIV)
:7 When the thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison
:8 and will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth—Gog and Magog—to gather them for battle. In number they are like the sand on the seashore.
:9 They marched across the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of God’s people, the city he loves. But fire came down from heaven and devoured them.
:10 And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

THE INNATE CORRUPTION OF HUMAN NATURE
It is alarming to witness the depths of human depravity, even after experiencing the reign of Christ during the millennium. When Satan was released from his confinement, he swiftly deceived many, rellying vast numbers to rebel against God. These people surrounded the camp of the Saints, but they were consumed by fire from heaven. Satan, alone with the beast and false prophets, faced ultimate judgment in the take off fire.

QUESTION: Why do so many persist in sin despite God's unwavering forgiveness?
PRAYER: Dear Lord, empower me to overcome a stubborn spirit and keep me aligned with your will, in Jesus' name, Amen.

TEXT: REVELATION 20:1-6
TOPIC: THE ANGEL WITH THE KEY TO BIND SATAN

(REVELATION 20:1-6 NIV)
:1 And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key to the Abyss and holding in his hand a great chain.
:2 He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, or Satan, and bound him for a thousand years.
:3 He threw him into the Abyss, and locked and sealed it over him, to keep him from deceiving the nations anymore until the thousand years were ended. After that, he must be set free for a short time.
:4 I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony for Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or his image and had not received his mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
:5 (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.) This is the first resurrection.
:6 Blessed and holy are those who have part in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him for a thousand years.

THE ANGEL WITH THE KEY TO BIND SATAN
Angels are God's messengers sent to deliver judgment or reward. Following Christ's Victory over all His enemies at the battle of Armageddon (19:v15-21), an Angel from heaven came with a key and chain and his authorised to bind Satan for a thousand years, vs.1&2. Satan is bound, and cast into the bottomless pit and denied the power to deceive the nations of the earth for one thousand years. During this period, believers who came out of the tribulation will be given life and granted authority to judge and rule the world with Christ, vs.4 (see also, 1 Corinthians. 6:2,3; Luke 19:17-19).
QUESTION: What can make anyone miss the joy of Christ's Victory over Satan at last?
PRAYER: Lord Jesus, on my pilgrim's Journey, let me always keep in my heart the truth that only Jesus has absolute Power over Satan and demons in Jesus' name. Amen.

TEXT: REVELATION 19:11-21
TOPIC: THE RIDER ON THE WHITEHORSE: BATTLE OF ARMAGEDDON

(REVELATION 19:11-21 NIV)
:11 I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and makes war.
:12 His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself.
:13 He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God.
:14 The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean.
:15 Out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. “He will rule them with an iron scepter.” He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty.
:16 On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: king of kings and lord of lords.
:17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun, who cried in a loud voice to all the birds flying in midair, “Come, gather together for the great supper of God,
:18 so that you may eat the flesh of kings, generals, and mighty men, of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all people, free and slave, small and great.”
:19 Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to make war against the rider on the horse and his army.
:20 But the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who had performed the miraculous signs on his behalf. With these signs he had deluded those who had received the mark of the beast and worshiped his image. The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur.
:21 The rest of them were killed with the sword that came out of the mouth of the rider on the horse, and all the birds gorged themselves on their flesh.

THE RIDER ON THE WHITEHORSE: BATTLE OF ARMAGEDDON
John describes a rider of a white horse, symbolizing Jesus, coming for battle rather than peace. His titles include "KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS," and he lead the armies of Heaven against the beast and the Kings of the earth in the final battle of Armageddon [vs.11-21].

QUESTION: What should we do with the known king of kings and lord of Lords?
PRAYER: Lord Jesus, I pray that the hearts of the Kings of the Earth be melted and start living righteously for Christ's sake, Amen.

TEXT: REVELATION 19:1-10
TOPIC: HALLELUJAH! THE SHOUT OF PRAISE

(REVELATION 19:1-10 NIV)
:1 After this I heard what sounded like the roar of a great multitude in heaven shouting:
“Hallelujah!
Salvation and glory and power belong to our God,
:2 for true and just are his judgments.
He has condemned the great pr******te who corrupted the earth by her adulteries.
He has avenged on her the blood of his servants.”
:3 And again they shouted:
“Hallelujah!
The smoke from her goes up for ever and ever.”
:4 The twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God, who was seated on the throne. And they cried:
“Amen, Hallelujah!”
:5 Then a voice came from the throne, saying:
“Praise our God, all you his servants,
you who fear him, both small and great!”
:6 Then I heard what sounded like a great multitude, like the roar of rushing waters and like loud peals of thunder, shouting:
“Hallelujah! For our Lord God Almighty reigns.
:7 Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready.
:8 Fine linen, bright and clean, was given her to wear.” (Fine linen stands for the righteous acts of the saints.)
:9 Then the angel said to me, “Write: ‘Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!’” And he added, “These are the true words of God.”
:10 At this I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, “Do not do it! I am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”

HALLELUJAH! THE SHOUT OF PRAISE
This chapter depicts joyful praise in heaven, being the only New Testament passage featuring "Hallelujah," meaning 'Praise the Lord.' It celebrates the judgment of Babylon and the establishment of God's reign on earth, calling all servants to give Him praise. The wedding of the Lamb is also highlighted, with strict compliance to the dress code for attendance [vs.1-8]. John, overwhelmed by the vision, attempts to worship the Angel but is reminded to worship God alone [vs.9-10].

QUESTION: How do you react to an overwhelming victory in your life?
PRAYER: Lord God Almighty, count me worthy to celebrate ultimate Victory in heaven with the saints in Jesus' name, Amen.

TEXT: REVELATION 18:21-24
TOPIC: JUDGMENT ON WICKED NATIONS SHALL BE TOTAL (PART II)

(REVELATION 18:21-24 NIV)
:21 Then a mighty angel picked up a boulder the size of a large millstone and threw it into the sea, and said: “With such violence the great city of Babylon will be thrown down, never to be found again.
:22 The music of harpists and musicians, flute players and trumpeters, will never be heard in you again. No workman of any trade will ever be found in you again. The sound of a millstone will never be heard in you again.
:23 The light of a lamp will never shine in you again. The voice of bridegroom and bride will never be heard in you again. Your merchants were the world’s great men. By your magic spell all the nations were led astray.
:24 In her was found the blood of prophets and of the saints, and of all who have been killed on the earth.”

JUDGMENT ON WICKED NATIONS SHALL BE TOTAL (PART II)
The Apostle John reveals God's vengeance on Nations that persecute Believers. Every act of persecution will be avenged. The shocking judgment is described in vs.21-24, highlighting the total desolation of Babylon. The city will be destroyed and never restored; no joy or work will be found there again (vs.22b-23). The reasons for this judgment include the blood of prophets and saints (v.24). Believers should remain steadfast, knowing justice will be served in God's timing.

QUESTION: Are today's event part of the end-time prophecies in Matthew 24:21-25?
PRAYER: May the truths will learn from Revelation not stand against us when You return for the church in Jesus' name, Amen.

TEXT: REVELATION 18:9-20
TOPIC: JUDGMENT ON WICKED NATIONS SHALL BE TOTAL [PART I]

(REVELATION 18:8-20 NIV)
:9 “When the kings of the earth who committed adultery with her and shared her luxury see the smoke of her burning, they will weep and mourn over her.
:10 Terrified at her torment, they will stand far off and cry:
“‘Woe! Woe, O great city, O Babylon, city of power! In one hour your doom has come!’
:11 “The merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her because no one buys their cargoes any more—
:12 cargoes of gold, silver, precious stones and pearls; fine linen, purple, silk and scarlet cloth; every sort of citron wood, and articles of every kind made of ivory, costly wood, bronze, iron and marble;
:13 cargoes of cinnamon and spice, of incense, myrrh and frankincense, of wine and olive oil, of fine flour and wheat; cattle and sheep; horses and carriages; and bodies and souls of men.
:14 “They will say, ‘The fruit you longed for is gone from you. All your riches and splendor have vanished, never to be recovered.’
:15 The merchants who sold these things and gained their wealth from her will stand far off, terrified at her torment. They will weep and mourn
:16 and cry out:
“‘Woe! Woe, O great city, dressed in fine linen, purple and scarlet, and glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls!
:17 In one hour such great wealth has been brought to ruin!’ “Every sea captain, and all who travel by ship, the sailors, and all who earn their living from the sea, will stand far off.
:18 When they see the smoke of her burning, they will exclaim, ‘Was there ever a city like this great city?’
:19 They will throw dust on their heads, and with weeping and mourning cry out:
“‘Woe! Woe, O great city, where all who had ships on the sea became rich through her wealth!
In one hour she has been brought to ruin!
:20 Rejoice over her, O heaven! Rejoice, saints and apostles and prophets! God has judged her for the way she treated you.’”

JUDGMENT ON WICKED NATIONS SHALL BE TOTAL [PART I]
Many Believers are weary of praying for justice in a world filled with wickedness. Despite the seeming impunity of leaders, today's passage emphasizes that judgment can come swiftly: "In one day, her plagues will overtake her" [18:8]. We witness turmoil in the Middle East and alliances that perpetuate evil. But when judgment arrives, those nation will lament, "The fruit you longed for is gone" [vs.14-20]. Friends in Crime will abandon each other in Crisis.

QUESTION: Does God's delay in Judgment mean he is no longer in control?
PRAYER: Lord, Grant us Grace to stand Firm in faith and mercy upon our land in Jesus' name, Amen.

TEXT: REVELATION 18:4-8
TOPIC: COME OUT FROM THE INVEVITABLE JUDGMENT OF WICKEDNESS

(REVELATION 18:4-8 NIV)
:4 Then I heard another voice from heaven say: “Come out of her, my people, so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues;
:5 for her sins are piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her crimes.
:6 Give back to her as she has given; pay her back double for what she has done. Mix her a double portion from her own cup.
:7 Give her as much torture and grief as the glory and luxury she gave herself. In her heart she boasts, ‘I sit as queen; I am not a widow, and I will never mourn.’
:8 Therefore in one day her plagues will overtake her: death, mourning and famine.
She will be consumed by fire, for mighty is the Lord God who judges her.

COME OUT FROM THE INVEVITABLE JUDGMENT OF WICKEDNESS
Our reading emphasizes the call to flee from God's impending judgment on wickedness, represented by Babylon. The command "Come out" serves as a reminder to avoid being partakers of her plagues and highlights God's will for believers to be separate from Unbelievers [2 Cor 6:14;7:1]. Despite these warnings, many Believers continue to dwell in compromise, similar to Lot in S***m.

QUESTION: Are you compromising your faith by enjoying the Wicked system of government?
PRAYER: Lord, grant me the grace to heed your call to come out from Anti-Christ behaviors and escape the consequences of being unequally yoked, in Jesus' name, Amen.

TOPIC: BABYLON, THE END TIME CAPITAL CITY IS FALLING

(REVELATION 18:1-3 NIV)
:1 After this I saw another angel coming down from heaven. He had great authority, and the earth was illuminated by his splendor.
:2 With a mighty voice he shouted: “Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great! She has become a home for demons and a haunt for every evil spirit, a haunt for every unclean and detestable bird.
:3 For all the nations have drunk the maddening wine of her adulteries. The kings of the earth committed adultery with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from her excessive luxuries.”

BABYLON, THE END TIME CAPITAL CITY IS FALLING
In Revelation, Apostle John shares the vision of an angel announcing the fall of Babylon, A city filled with corruption and evil influences from all nations (v.3;cf. Isaiah 47:15). This city represents everything Anti-Christ and leads many to make Poor Decisions, much like how wine affects the mind.

QUESTION: With whom are you associated and for what real purpose?
PRAYER: Let me not follow wicked characters that will lead me to destruction in Jesus' name, Amen.

TEXT: REVELATION 17:9-18
TOPIC: THE CONSPIRACIES OF THE TEN HORNS TO MAKE WAR WITH THE LAMB

(REVELATION 17:9-18 NIV)
:9 “This calls for a mind with wisdom. The seven heads are seven hills on which the woman sits.
:10 They are also seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come; but when he does come, he must remain for a little while.
:11 The beast who once was, and now is not, is an eighth king. He belongs to the seven and is going to his destruction.
:12 “The ten horns you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but who for one hour will receive authority as kings along with the beast.
:13 They have one purpose and will give their power and authority to the beast.
:14 They will make war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will overcome them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings—and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers.”
:15 Then the angel said to me, “The waters you saw, where the pr******te sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations and languages.
:16 The beast and the ten horns you saw will hate the pr******te. They will bring her to ruin and leave her naked; they will eat her flesh and burn her with fire.
:17 For God has put it into their hearts to accomplish his purpose by agreeing to give the beast their power to rule, until God’s words are fulfilled.
:18 The woman you saw is the great city that rules over the kings of the earth.”

THE CONSPIRACIES OF THE TEN HORNS TO MAKE WAR WITH THE LAMB
In Revelation 17:9-14 we see a conspiracy involving the Beast when seven heads and ten horns aligning against the Lamb. The woman on seven mountains symbolizes seven continents and represents the influence of paganism and false religions, which are key drivers of global conflict (vs.9-10). Nations involved in current wars fulfill End-Time Christ's return amid these alliances and conflicts (vs.15-18).

QUESTION: Can any conspiracy against Christ truly threaten his Lordship?
PRAYER: Lord, grant me the courage to remain faithful until the end, in Jesus' name, Amen.

(REVELATION 16:17-21 NIV)
:17 The seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and out of the temple came a loud voice from the throne, saying, “It is done!”
:18 Then there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder and a severe earthquake. No earthquake like it has ever occurred since man has been on earth, so tremendous was the quake.
:19 The great city split into three parts, and the cities of the nations collapsed. God remembered Babylon the Great and gave her the cup filled with the wine of the fury of his wrath.
:20 Every island fled away and the mountains could not be found.
:21 From the sky huge hailstones of about a hundred pounds each fell upon men. And they cursed God on account of the plague of hail, because the plague was so terrible.

THE BOWL OF THE SEVENTH ANGEL POURED
The seventh angel pours his bowl into the air, and a voice declares, "It is done!" This signifies the completion of the Seal-trumpet-and bowl cycles of judgment, with Armageddon approaching. The earlier seals brought providential calamities, while the trumpets caused partial destruction. The bowl plagues are marked by unprecedented natural disasters. It's important to reflect on those events and relate them to contemporary society. As believers, we must be vigilant against sin to be prepared for Christ's return.

QUESTION: How should we view global Wars in light of Biblical prophecies?
PRAYER: Father, help me stand firm in faith and share the truth of scriptures passionately for Souls winning in Jesus' name, Amen.
