Those who keep the commandments of God. Revelation 14:9-12


I believe strongly that I serve a God of mercy.
How do I know that God is a God of mercy, especially when verses like Revelation 14:10 prove that God will send many to a burning, eternal hell? I know because he has shown mercy to me.
Do I have other evidence? Certainly, and some of it comes from Matthew 25:31-46. It is rather long and I do not want to take up the extra space here, so I implore you to take the time to read it on your own. The synopsis goes something like this:
  • Before him will be gathered all the nations
    You need to understand that there are only three people groups as far as God is concerned. The Jews, the nations, and the church. Since the church should be gone at this point, our religious minds tend to think that after the rapture there is NO ONE left on the earth that has a standardized relationship with Jesus Christ, and that is true. Now that does not exclude the innumerable number that come to acknowledge Him (in the face of death) and are resurrected as Saints and reign over the earth with Jesus during the thousand years.
  • This gathering of the nations takes place at the end of the thousand years and includes all the dead throughout time.
    You might ask, how do I know that? Use a little logic. The church, those who had a relationship with Jesus Christ, both living and dead, get retrieved at some point. (Matthew 25 points out that not everyone sitting in church gets retrieved.)
    A goat on a sheep
    For the untrained eye
    Who then is left on earth? Most of the Jews, those from Matthew 25 who did not take this seriously enough and had no oil left in their lamps, and all those who have chosen to ignore God's call to obtain His mercy. Those who reject God are considered the nations, it is that simple. In truth, anyone of those can switch sides: A Jew can become part of the church, and get this, people can come out of the nations and join themselves to the church - and most of us would never know it, as this action is not always advertised.
  • he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.”
    Sheep and a goat
    A sheep and a goat
    A goat on a sheep
    And he will place the sheep on his right, but the goats on the left. Then the King will say to those on his right'Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
    Then the righteous will answer him, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you …. And the King will answer them, 'Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.'”
  • Did you pick up on the term righteous? Did you see what made them righteous, doing something outside of selfish motivation. They helped people, and in so doing they “did it to Jesus himself.
  • but the goats on the left”
"Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.'
Now that I busted up your theology by demonstrating that God is merciful - even to those who do not fit within the religious framework - we can move on to the passage at hand.
"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, 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. 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." Here is a call for the endurance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God and their faith in Jesus." (Revelation 14:9-12 ESV)
As I pointed out in an earlier post there are three parts to this equation we simplistically call “taking the mark”.
  • If anyone worships the beast
  • and (worships) his image,
  • and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand,
    "he (the person that caves and does all three) also will drink of the wine of the wrath of God, …. and he will be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. ...the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever; they have no rest day and night, those who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.”
Having made this decision you will have effectively signed your life away.
Now here comes the part that is hard to understand: “Here is a call for the endurance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God and their faith in Jesus.
Why even put this statement in here? God did it for a reason. This is another place you find God's definition of a saint and it shows that they by their actions have demonstrated their allegiance to God and a faith in Jesus. Another reason may have much to do with the pressure that will be put on you to sell your soul. This is not a foreign concept to the Jew, for Esau sold his birthright for a bowl of soup. You must understand that to the Jew, prophecy is pattern, not flash and advertising.
Jacob said, "Sell me your birthright now." Esau said, "I am about to die; of what use is a birthright to me?" Jacob said, "Swear to me now." So he swore to him and sold his birthright to Jacob. Then Jacob gave Esau bread and lentil stew, and he ate and drank and rose and went his way. Thus Esau despised his birthright. (Genesis 25:31-34 ESV)
Have you seen some of the gory pictures that come out of the Islamic nations? They are hanging Christians and chopping people up with chain saws. I have on occasions, asked the question, what would you do if they torture your kids in front of you?
The passage says, “those who keep the commandments of God and their faith in Jesus.” The word keep means to to watch over, to guard. The implications can be varied, but the idea here is definitely on some pressure being put on you to give up your heritage. What then does it mean to you? If you do not have a backbone now, how will you stand under pressure? You need Jesus!

What do we religious folk always say? Revelation 14:9

What do we religious folk always say? Don't take the mark, you will go to hell because of it!
It was not until recently that I heard someone read this verse with distinction; it was then that I understood that there are three parts to this unforgivable betrayal.
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, 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. 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." Here is a call for the endurance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God and their faith in Jesus.”
(Revelation 14:9-12 ESV)
Here is what will happen if:
  1. you worship the beast
    What is it to worship? Worship here is the Greek word proskuneo - (meaning to kiss, like a dog licking his master's hand); to fawn or crouch to, that is, (literally or figuratively) prostrate oneself in homage (do reverence to, adore): - worship.
    Where do we see this? People bowing to the pope, and Muslim men commanded by the Qu'ran, bow three times a day to Allah.
    Bowing to Allah. They do this three times a day, where ever they are.
    Bowing to Allah. They do this three times a day, where ever they are.
    Spain's King Juan Carlos kisses the ring of Pope Benedict XVI at Madrid's Barajas airport
    Spain's King Juan Carlos kisses the ring of Pope Benedict XVI at Madrid's Barajas airport
  2. and you worship the idol
    How does one portray the worshiping of an idol made to signify or resemble the beast, especially when the beast has the potential to be a demon (Allah), an ideology (Islam), or a man (the Mahdi)?
  3. and have the mark of the beast on your hand or forehead.
    Islam is not that high-tech that they will use chips; seeing as the United States government has sold its soul to be in the New World Order, they will demand chipping to buy and sell, but you have not sold your soul to the devil unless you also worship the beast and the idol.
    Let me try to show what you might be dealing with:
    Wearing a burka to show compliance

    #2 A young Brit who has joined the Mujahid in London, and wears an armband to signify which team he is on.
    note the white guy wearing the arm band denoting that
    Allah is god.



    #3 Shows you the fashionable head bands you can choose from.
    Fashionable headbands declaring that there is no god but Allah

    Here it is September 15, 2015. The age of civilized man in a high-tech world. We are on the brink of nuclear destruction once again, and people, as usual, are fleeing tyranny by the thousands. Germany claims they can take in 500,000 refugees. There is only one small problem, we are taking in the bad guys right next to the decent and worthy. So how do the incoming refugees reward and thank the Germans? They hang banners on the overpass that say, “All your children will pray to Allah, or die!” See the image included.
    Demonstrating their gratitude for sanctuary, the Muslims hung this banner that says, all your children will pray to Allah or die.
    The sign says, all your children will pray to Allah, or die.

I cannot say with a certainty that many of the things we see in Revelation are not already upon us. I can say with a certainty, that we are not under God's wrath. The trigger for that is when the church is lifted from the earth. The book of Hebrews, in chapter nine, tells us that He is coming for those who are awaiting his return. I can tell you that many in church scoff at me, and say the same standard, thoughtless line we have heard for generations, people have said that He is coming for two thousand years. I suppose for me, it is the ability we have to pay attention to the signs, and they are all around us. If he comes while you are not looking for him, then you will have to endure what is to come. I really do not want you to have to go through that.
Try this: Tell him your sorry; that you are not in control, and you would like him too come in and take over. Tell him that you understand that Jesus Christ died for you and that you have a hope in heaven with the Father.
He will come into your life and make you His own. You will still have the right to make idiotic mistakes, and you will, but you can know that you still belong to him, just as I did.

Babylon the Great - the long version. Revelation 14 verse 8.

Of the imagery we find in scripture Babylon is another that gives people grief.
If we try to define the Babylon we see in Revelation we have to ask, what is it and what are the implications for us?
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."
(Revelation 14:8 ESV)
Can I obtain a clue from the passage itself?
  • "Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, ..”
    God had used Babylon to punish Israel for ignoring the Shemittah (times of rest and restoration), because of this they went into captivity for 70 years and might play a role in its utter destruction. Thanks to the interactions we have between Daniel and Nebuchadnezzar, we know that during the reign or Nebuchadnezzar Babylon was great. Daniel - in explaining the statue dream to Nebuchadnezzar - told him that he, as representing Babylon, was the head of gold.
    Daniel 2:37-38 ESV You, O king, the king of kings, to whom the God of heaven has given the kingdom, the power, and the might, and the glory, (38) and into whose hand he has given, wherever they dwell, the children of man, the beasts of the field, and the birds of the heavens, making you rule over them all--you are the head of gold.
    Nebuchadnezzar's statue
    Nebuchadnezzar's statue
    Considering that Nebuchadnezzar had threatened to kill all the wise men if no one could tell him the dream and what it meant; it was probably the wiser choice to say, you are the head of gold. However this is not the case anymore.
    Can we make the connection between a Babylon that was once great and the modern day world? No, so greatness carries a different connotation these days.
    Babylon, having served its purpose, was to receive God's wrath.
    Jeremiah 51:29 ESV “The land trembles and writhes in pain, for the LORD's purposes against Babylon standto make the land of Babylon a desolation, without inhabitant.
    Babylon today, surrounded by the city of Mosul in Iraq.
    Babylon today, surrounded by the city of Mosul in Iraq.
    When you read this it is easy to say, “that happened and therefore does not apply to today.” We see this same logic applied to the temple of the last days. Jesus predicted the destruction of the temple and Israel saw that happen in 70 A.D.; yet his words also applied to a time in the distant future in which there would be a third temple. Therefore these words about Babylon could just as easily apply to a future time, a time which I happen to believe is upon us now.
    You might not be aware that Saddam Hussein, the late "president" of Iraq, was attempting a restoration of Babylon. He built one of his fortress-like residences on a hill just outside of Babylon along the Euphrates. Chuck Misler - author, evangelical Christian, Bible teacher, engineer, and former businessman. - told us that while active combat missions in Iraq were still ongoing, the military was running high speed communications cables into Babylon. Does any of that literally mean that Babylon, as a city, would be resurrected to greatness? No, therefore we should be looking for something else, something more symbolic. I believe the key phrase here is “her sexual immorality”.

A modern recreation of the famous Ishtar Gates of Babylon
Clearly Revelation 14:8 is speaking about a sensuality, and there is nothing sensual about the region in which Babylon is built. So the context has more to do with something spiritual. Bel Marduk might fit that bill.
  • ...she who made all nations drink the wine of the passion of her sexual immorality."
    Since things seemingly went well for Daniel, we assume that all went well for Israel. We also assume that Babylon was just a beautiful, fun loving place, but that was not the case. If you think about the fact that they threw Daniel's companions into the fire, then its easier to understand that evil lurked in the background.
    Babylon was conquered by successive empires, of which two are clearly defined: The Medo-Persian, and the Grecian empires. It is clear that something happened.
Now, what do we do with this cryptic sentence - “...she who made all nations drink the wine of the passion of her sexual immorality." Apparently we know far too little about Babylon because Revelation focuses rather intently on the words sexual immorality.
The prophet Jeremiah spoke a word against Babylon:
Jeremiah 50:1-2 ESV The word that the LORD spoke concerning Babylon, concerning the land of the Chaldeans, by Jeremiah the prophet: (2) "Declare among the nations and proclaim, set up a banner and proclaim, conceal it not, and say: 'Babylon is taken, Bel is put to shame, Merodach is dismayed. Her images are put to shame, her idols are dismayed.'
Commentary from the IVPBBC: Bel and Marduk. “The title Bel was applied to the supreme god of the Akkadian pantheon, which until the beginning of the second millennium B.C. was Enlil (the patron of the city of Nippur). After the emergence of Babylon as the chief city of Mesopotamia, the title was transferred to its patron deity, Marduk. Evidence of this succession to divine supremacy can be seen in Marduk's prominent place in the Babylonian creation epic Enuma Elish and in the prologue to the Code of Hammurabi. In both instances, Marduk is said to have achieved the rank of chief god through his combative powers and the will of the other gods. The name Bel Marduk then continues to be used by the Assyrians and the Neo-Babylonians, and his New Year's festival is the celebration of the renewal of fertility and life (see comment on Isa_46:1). Even the Persian king Cyrus looked at his own accession to power and the capture of the city of Babylon as having been achieved through the assistance of Bel Marduk. Connections in the northwest Semitic pantheon with Bel are to be found in the name Baal, also translated as “lord.”

Now again, the question is, how do I perceive and apply this?

Mark Hitchcock, in his book The Second Coming of Babylon, states rather simplistically, “The city and the tower (of Babylon*represent the two aspects of Babylon that continue today: political power balanced against rebellion and apostasy.”
One can only speculate that the tower looked like this at some point
One can only speculate that the tower looked like this at some point
Mark Hitchcock continues, “The city they built represents the political unity of the city of Babylon. Babylon was a literal place, ruled over by a literal king who exercised political power over all the inhabitants of the world.
I had to think about this idea of political unity for a moment.

Babylon, a lasting global political power!?

I already pointed out that God decreed devastation upon Babylon. Common sense should tell you that Babylon's ability to persist has to first be spiritual.
Many years after its establishment by Nimrod, and after the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Babylon is captured by Cyrus, but this line from the IVPBBC is very telling:
“ Even the Persian king Cyrus looked at his own accession to power and the capture of the city of Babylon as having been achieved through the assistance of Bel Marduk

The generations of Noah

We are introduced to the beginnings of Babylon in Genesis chapter 10, when we are told about the generations of Noah. The son of Ham was Cush, and Cush fathered Nimrod.

Let's explore this for a minute.
Genesis 10:8 ESV Cush fathered Nimrod; he was the first on earth to be a mighty man.
He was the first on earth to be a mighty man??
The word mighty in the Hebrew is: gibbôr powerful; by implication warriortyrantAnother instance of the word gibbôr used to depict a mighty man comes before the flood, and describes the Nephilim upon the earth.
Genesis 6:4 ESV The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men who were of old, the men of renown.
Most do not believe Nimrod to have been a giant as much as he was of a reckless ferocity.
Reckless ferocity – What names come to your mind? Og, the king of Bashan who may have been 13 feet tall; how about Ghengis Khan, or Vlad the impaler.
How did Nimrod become the first on the earth to be a mighty man when clearly the earth was filled with violence and there were giants or mighty men prior to the flood?
Genesis 6:10-13 ESV And Noah had three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. (11) Now the earth was corrupt in God's sight, and the earth was filled with violence. (12) And God saw the earth, and behold, it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth. (13) And God said to Noah, "I have determined to make an end of all flesh, for the earth is filled with violence through them. Behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
Genesis 9:9 ESV "Behold, I establish my covenant with you and your offspring after you,
Genesis 10:1 ESV These are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Sons were born to them after the flood.
So Noah and his generations are the fresh start. It only took three generations for everything to go sour again.
Nimrod was the controlling authority and driving force behind the tower of Babel. That may or may not be the case, but it is clear that all known inhabitants were of the same mind and direction.
Genesis 10:8-10 ESV Cush fathered Nimrod; he was the first on earth to be a mighty man. (9) He was a mighty hunter before the LORD. Therefore it is said, "Like Nimrod a mighty hunter before the LORD." (10) The beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
Genesis 10:8-10 fills in a few blanks, for it tells us that Nimrod founded the towns of Babel, Erech, Accad (the Accadian race) and Calneh. All in the land of Shinar.
Genesis 11:1-4 ESV Now the whole earth had one language and the same words. And as people migrated from the east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there. And they said to one another, "Come, let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly." And they had brick for stone, and bitumen for mortar. Then they said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be dispersed over the face of the whole earth."
I want to you to see something before we move on.
Genesis 11:4 LITV And they said, Come, let us build a city and a tower with its head in the heavens, and make a name for ourselves, that we not be scattered on the face of all the earth.
If you are anything like me, then for years you read a verse like this and said, how nice, never grasping the depth of what is happening here. It is not as simple as it looks and requires that you dig a little.
  1. God has yet to state that he will scatter them, but they almost seem to be prophesying over themselves by declaring: “that we not be scattered on the face of all the earth.” As you know, that happened.
  2. If we hear of someone who made a name for himself, there are generally admirable thoughts associated with that, like having a beautiful park named after that person. However there are those that were not so admirable, like: John Wayne Gacy, Charlie Manson, or Ted Bundy. They certainly made names for themselves.
  3. Here in America we have Donald Trump. He happens to be running for President, but he has his name plastered on many things he has built. The height and design are not necessarily the issue, and there is something more implicated in Genesis 11:4.
let us build us a city H5892 - (a place guarded by waking or a watch)
and let us make H6213 - accomplish
for ourselves a name H8034, - the Name (as designation of God)
I get the sense that they were trying to make their own name or god.

Babylon also represents false religion.”

According to Mark Hitchcock: “The first organized false religion has passed down from Babylon into all other false religions of the world. Their tower symbolizes the religious unity that dominated Babylon.”
The IVP Bible Background Commentary on the Old Testament tells us: The central feature of these early cities in southern Mesopotamia was the temple complex. Often, the temple complex was the city. The temple complex in this period would have been comprised of the temple itself, where the patron deity was worshiped, and, most prominently, by the ziggurat. Ziggurats were structures designed to provide stairways from the heavens (the gate of the gods) to earth so that the gods could come down into their temple and into the town and bring blessing. It was a convenience provided for the deity and his messengers. These stairways were featured in the mythology of the Sumerians and also are portrayed in Jacob's dream.”
By the way:
The Hadron collider, often called CERN, has goals: Two of the major goals for CERN is to collapse and break apart the God Particle that creates and maintains our physical world and to tear a hole through the veil that is the barrier protecting our physical universe from the unknown, non-physical universes and other non-physical dimensions believed to be located outside our physical universe.”
So one might conclude, that CERN, in a sense, is just another ziggurat, attempting to bring the gods down to earth.
John Walvord summarizes the Babylonian religious system:
Nimrod, who founded Babylon, had a wife known as Semiramis who founded the secret religious rites of the Babylonian mysteries, according to accounts outside the bible. Semiramis has a son with an alleged miraculous conception who was given the name Tammuz and in effect was a false fulfillment of the promise of the seed of the woman given to Eve (Gen 3:15).”
Various religious practices were observed in connection with the false Babylonian religion, including recognition of the mother and child as God and of creating an order of virgins who became religious prostitutes. Tammuz, according to the tradition, was killed by a wild animal and restored to life, a satanic anticipation and counterfeit of Christ's resurrection.”
Walvord adds:
Babylon then, is the symbol of apostasy and blasphemous substitution of idol-worship for the worship of God in Christ”.i
As to this last quote. Nimrod probably had no concept of Christ, so I do not think it is fair to pin that on him. However, since God found Noah to be favorable (there is a tremendous mystery about this man having to do with the heritage that might intrigue you, but I do not have the time here) you might assume that Noah had a strong concept of who God was. Keep in mind that any knowledge of God had to be verbally passed to the next generations. As the generations begin to rebuild something very dark creeps in and Noah curses one of his sons. It did not take that long for one generation to essentially move away from God. Project this idea three generations ahead and we have Nimrod.

The worship of Baal

Isaiah 21:9 LITV And, behold, here comes a chariot of a man, a pair of horses. And he answered and said, Babylon has fallen, has fallen! And He has smashed the graven images of her gods to the earth.

There is a clear sense of multiple gods. The prophet Jeremiah identifies two of them: Merodach and Bel.
Jeremiah 50:2 LITV Declare among the nations, and make them hear, and lift up a banner. Make them hear, do not hide it; say, Babylon is captured, Bel is put to shame, Merodach is broken in pieces, her images are put to shame, her idols are broken in pieces.
From John Gill's commentary:
Bel boweth down, Nebo stoopeth,.... These are names of the idols of Babylon. Bel is by some thought to be the contraction of Baal, the god of the Phoenicians, called by them Beel; so "Beelsamin" (h), in the Phoenician language, is Lord of heaven: but rather this is the Belus of the Babylonians, who was a renowned king of them, and after his death deified; whom Nebuchadnezzar, according to Megasthenes (i), calls Belus his progenitor, and by whom Babylon was walled about. This idol is, no doubt, the same with Jupiter Belus, who had a temple in Babylon with gates of brass, and which was in being in the times of Herodotus (k), as he reports. This name is sometimes taken into the names of their kings, as Belshazzar or Beltesbazaar. Nebo was another of their idols, an oracular one, from whom, by its priests, prophesies of things future were pretended to be given out...”ii
Back to Mark Hitchcock's book - The Second Coming of Babylon.
From the beginning then, Babylon was both a town and a tower, a city and a system, a place and a philosophy. We will encounter this same twofold depiction of Babylon later when we look at Babylon in Revelation 17 and 18.”
From the very beginning Satan has been at war. Sometimes it is hard to tell who he hates the most – God, or those that follow after him.
After Satan deceives the woman we have God saying:
You and this woman will hate each other; your descendants and hers will always be enemies. One of hers will strike you on the head, and you will strike him on the heel." (Genesis 3:15 CEV)
Hitchcock defined this epic struggle like this:
The situation at Babylon in Genesis 10-11 played right into Satan's plan. While he is not mentioned by name, we can be certain that the old serpent introduced in Genesis 3 was working feverishly to energize this rebellious plan. In this setting he could influence and direct world affairs through one man.” …. “He could be 'god' in the eyes of all men, through occult worship and practices. After all, this is his desire.” ….. “The masses could also be converted to his false religion, with little to stand in his way.”
Make no mistake, God is, and has always been in control. Man, living in the illusion that he is in control, found out differently, for God came down and confounded their language, and scattered man across the face of the earth. Thus ended the first global community.
As Mark Hitchcock puts it:
Globalism was put on hold.
But Satan wasn't finished.
He set out immediately to bring the world back together so he could control all of it once again.
In a sense, human history is the story of Satan working to bring man back to Babylon under his rule. This will finally happen according to Revelation 17 and 18. Both the city of Babylon and the false religion system of Babylon will be resurrected in the end times.”
So in trying to understand what Babylon is, keep this passage in mind.
Jeremiah 51:29 ESV “The land trembles and writhes in pain, for the LORD's purposes against Babylon standto make the land of Babylon a desolation, without inhabitant.

We are looking at power structures, guided by the gods of greed and sensuality. Look around you. If you watch television sensuality is shoved down your throats on a daily basis – you want, you need, you cannot live without. Power structures, on the other hand, are sometimes hidden in plain sight. Examples are: the NWO, Illuminati, the Bilderberg group, and men like George Soros. Our musical and entertainment icons are constantly flashing Illuminati symbols at us.
Kanye and Jay-Z flashing an Illuminati sign.
