Armageddon, Day of the Lord, Kings of the Earth

THE KINGS OF THE EAST

David R Maas

The Kings of the East are identical to the Kings of the Earth that are allied with the “Beast from the Sea” – Revelation 16:12-19.

The “sixth bowl of wrath” presents an image of an army led by the “kings from the east” across the Euphrates River, a picture derived from prophecies of Babylon’s overthrow by the “Medes and Persians.” At the end of the age, God will use a “pagan” force once again to destroy “Babylon,” only this time “Mystery Babylon” of the Last Days.

Armageddon, Seven Bowls

ARMAGEDDON – SIXTH BOWL

David R Maas

The sixth “bowl of wrath” causes the final battle between the “Lamb” and the forces of the “Dragon” – Revelation 16:12-16.

The first four “bowls” targeted the economic foundations of the beastly empire, and the fifth attacked its political power. When the sixth “bowl” is emptied, demonic forces gather the “kings of the earth” to the final battle of the “Great Day of God the Almighty” at “Armageddon,” the last desperate effort by Satan to unseat the “Lamb.”

Armageddon, Gog & Magog

GOG AND MAGOG

David R Maas

Revelation identifies “Gog and Magog” as the nations from the “four corners of the Earth” that attack the “saints” – Revelation 20:7-10.

The prophet Ezekiel received a vision of an invading army composed of regional nations that would attack Israel from the north, spearheaded by “Gog of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal” – (KJV). But before destroying Israel, “Gog” and his forces would be destroyed by Yahweh “on the mountains of Israel.”

Armageddon, Seven Churches

SARDIS

David R Maas

The church at Sardis received no commendation, only warnings, and calls to repent while time remained – Revelation 3:1-6. 

Sardis was situated approximately sixty kilometers south of Thyatira, near the crossroads between Smyrna and Pergamos. Therefore, regional commerce was vital to the economic and cultural life of the city. Woolen goods figured prominently in local trade. Sardis is mentioned in Obadiah – (“They of the captivity of Jerusalem who are in Sepharad shall possess the cities of the South”), “Sepharad” being the Hebrew form of ‘Sardis.’

Armageddon, Gog & Magog, Thousand-Years

SATAN’S END

David R Maas

Satan is released for a “short season” to launch his attack on the saints, but he is the one destroyed – Revelation 20:7-10.

The time has come for Satan’s final demise. The book’s second literary division introduced the enemies of the “Lamb” – The “Dragon,” Beast,” “False Prophet,” and “Babylon.” In the third division, their destruction occurs in reverse order – “Babylon,” “Beast” and “False Prophet” together, and finally, the “Dragon.”
