1. My Brilliant Friend, Elena Ferrante
I will stand at my guard post
and station myself on the ramparts.
I will watch to see what He will say to me,
and how I should answer when corrected.
Then the LORD answered me:
“Write down this vision
and clearly inscribe it on tablets,
so that a herald may run with it.
For the vision awaits an appointed time;
it testifies of the end and does not lie.
Though it lingers, wait for it,
since it will surely come and will not delay.
Look at the proud one; his soul is not upright —
but the righteous will live by faith —
and wealth indeed betrays him.
He is an arrogant man never at rest.
He enlarges his appetite like Sheol,
and like Death, he is never satisfied.
He gathers all the nations to himself
and collects all the peoples as his own.
Will not all of these take up a taunt against him,
speaking with mockery and derision:
‘Woe to him who amasses what is not his
and makes himself rich with many loans!
How long will this go on?’
Will not your creditors suddenly arise
and those who disturb you awaken?
Then you will become their prey.
Because you have plundered many nations,
the remnant of the people will plunder you—
because of your bloodshed against man
and your violence against the land, the city,
and all their dwellers.
Woe to him who builds his house
by unjust gain,
to place his nest on high
and escape the hand of disaster!
You have plotted shame for your house
by cutting off many peoples
and forfeiting your life.
For the stones will cry out from the wall,
and the rafters will echo it from the woodwork.
Woe to him who builds a city with bloodshed
and establishes a town by iniquity!
Is it not indeed from the LORD of Hosts
that the labor of the people only feeds the fire,
and the nations weary themselves in vain?
For the earth will be filled
with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD
as the waters cover the sea.
Woe to him who gives drink to his neighbors,
pouring it from the wineskin until they are drunk,
in order to gaze at their nakedness!
You will be filled with shame instead of glory.
You too must drink
and expose your uncircumcision!
The cup in the LORD’s right hand
will come around to you,
and utter disgrace will cover your glory.
For your violence against Lebanon will overwhelm you,
and the destruction of animals will terrify you,
because of your bloodshed against men
and your violence against the land, the city,
and all their dwellers.
What use is an idol,
that a craftsman should carve it—
or an image,
a teacher of lies?
For its maker trusts in his own creation;
he makes idols that cannot speak.
Woe to him who says to wood, ‘Awake!’
or to silent stone, ‘Arise!’
Can it give guidance?
Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver,
yet there is no breath in it at all.”
Formerly you were opposed to the point of breaking, but now YOU are rising up as the breaker in both your personal circumstances and in your ministry to others.
You will finally accept that you are not some weak and powerless Christian but a weapon of war that God is going to move through in the years to come.
"You are My hammer and weapon of war: with you, I break nations in pieces; with you I destroy kingdoms." (Jeremiah 51:20) This season you will see the anointing that increased upon you through your struggles and opposition.
This is the hour that you stop identifying yourself as damaged, a victim, or a reject. This is the moment to move past your long history and stop rehearsing it. You can no longer be lukewarm, not apprehending your Christ identity, and avoiding confrontation in order to appease everyone around you.
You are being positioned for the increase and for the harvest at hand through your Christ calling and will be moving from glory to glory.
Today, while it is still called today (Hebrews 3:13) is the day you will be BOLD, UNCOMPROMISED, UNDIGNIFIED, and UNAPOLOGETIC of your pursuit of Jesus, your oneness with Him, His purpose for your life, and His ways so that the lukewarm get hot, the fireless get back their fire, and you bring others to encounter their destiny in Him!

The Three Angels Messages Lesson 02: No Sympathy for the Devil
Revelation 14:8 - And another angel followed, saying, “Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she has made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.”
The second angel’s message seems very complicated at first. It definitely deals with a lot of symbols. In order to understand this Bible verse, let’s take a closer look at the following keywords:
Babylon
Fallen
Wine
Wrath
Fornication
Let’s read together Genesis 9:7-17; Genesis 10:10; Genesis 11:1-4; Isaiah 14:13-14; and Daniel 1:2.
If we are to talk about Babylon, we need to also discuss Babel. Both kingdoms were founded in the land of Shinar. Babel can be considered the archetype for all the worldly kingdoms that followed it.
The story of the Tower of Babel is one of the most famous stories in the Bible. Have you ever considered the builders’ motivations for building the tower in the first place?
The builders did not trust God’s promise to never destroy the world again with a flood. They wanted to survive another flood on their own power.
The builders also did not want to follow God’s command to be fruitful and multiply across the earth. Rather, they wanted to build a tower whose “top is in the heavens” and make a name for themselves. The builders seem to be motivated by pride and perhaps to even take the worship of God for themselves.
Let’s read together Exodus 20:2-6; 1 Chronicles 9:1; Jeremiah 16:18; Jeremiah 50:38; and Daniel 3:1-7.
The story of Daniel’s three friends and the fiery furnace is another well-known Bible story. Have you considered what was Nebuchadnezzar’s motivation for setting up the golden image in the first place? He wanted everyone in his empire to acknowledge Babylon as supreme, even over any god his subjects might be worshiping. If anyone refused to bow before Nebuchadnezzar’s golden idol, they were to be killed by being tossed into a fiery furnace.
Nebuchadnezzar had essentially set up a false religious system of worship enforced by civil authority. This system forced people to choose between dying for their religious faith or to compromise that faith in order to live.
Let’s read together 2 Samuel 1:27; Isaiah 21:9; Jeremiah 51:8-9, 47; Daniel 5:25-30; and Revelation 18:2.
“Babylon is fallen, is fallen.” God ultimately judged Babylon for its idolatry and persecution of God’s people. Babylon was conquered by the Medo-Persians in 539 BC.
Let’s read together Proverbs 20:1; 23:29-35; 31:3-5; and Jeremiah 51:7.
Alcoholic wine in the Bible is always viewed in a negative light. Alcoholic wine clouds and even perverts judgment. Note that the Bible does talk about unfermented non-alcoholic wine more positively, but that is a Bible study for another time.
Let’s read Psalm 75:8; Jeremiah 23:15; and Hosea 4:11-12
Prophetically speaking, wine also represents God’s judgment against wickedness and idolatry. You definitely do not want to drink this wine!
What is wrath? The Merriam-Webster Dictionary offers two definitions that are relevant to our Bible study today. Wrath can be defined as a “strong vengeful anger or indignation (anger aroused by something unjust, unworthy, or mean).” Wrath can also be defined as “retributory punishment for an offense or a crime; divine punishment.”
God’s wrath is His response to sin. In the Old Testament, God’s wrath consumed the Egyptian army chasing the children of Israel. God’s wrath was also aroused when the children of Israel committed sins or fell into idolatry. God’s wrath led to the destruction of the temple of Jerusalem and the Babylonian captivity.
Let’s read together Psalm 21:8-9; Zephaniah 1:1-18; Matthew 3:7; Luke 3:7; Romans 2:5; Ephesians 5:6; and Colossians 3:6.
God’s wrath is also associated with judgment. God’s wrath will be poured in full on the unrighteous at Judgment Day.
Let’s read together Numbers 16:46; 2 Chronicles 12:6-9; 32:25-26; Psalms 78:32-39: 85:2-4; and 106:23.
Despite what many people believe, God does not want to pour His wrath on people. In the Old Testament, Aaron and Moses both interceded on behalf of the children of Israel to avert God’s wrath. God is willing to spare sinners from His wrath when they humble themselves before Him. Whether it was the people of Israel or a king like Hezekiah, God was willing to grant mercy to all who came to Him earnestly and asked forgiveness of their sins.
Let’s read together Isaiah 53:4-6, 10; John 3:16, 36; Romans 5:9; 1 Thessalonians 5:9; and 1 John 4:10.
God has done everything He could to shield us from His wrath. God loves us so much that He gave His only son Jesus to die for our sins. Jesus is our ultimate intercessor. We only have to confess and repent of our sins and call upon Jesus as our Lord and Savior.
Let’s read together Ezekiel 23:16-18; Hosea 4:11-12; Isaiah 23:17; and John 8:41.
What is fornication? The Merriam-Webster Dictionary gives the definition as “sexual intercourse between two persons who are not married to each other.”
The Bible likened God’s people (the church) to a woman (Jeremiah 6:2). Paul the Apostle described the church as the bride of Christ (Ephesians 5:22-33). Therefore, spiritual fornication would be the church embracing someone or something other than Christ. In the Old Testament times, the people of Israel strayed from God and worshiped various idols and other false gods.
Let’s read together Matthew 24:24; John 4:24; 2 Timothy 3:1-5; 1 John 2:15-23; Revelation 17:1-6; and Revelation 18:3, 9.
The book of the Bible describes a harlot woman who represents a false worship of Christ. This church outwardly seems Christian, but in actuality, it does not follow Jesus in spirit and truth. Many people will be deceived and fall into Babylon.
Let’s read together Deuteronomy 31:19 and Revelation 18:1-8.
What does the second angel’s message mean?
All false systems of worship will be judged. Salvation by works, the idea you can make it to heaven on your own merits, cannot save you. Salvation in sin, the idea that once you are saved, you are always saved, will lead you to be lost. All these forms of worship will lead you to Babylon.
Even if you are worshiping at the “right” church the “right” way, you can have Babylon in your heart. If you harbor pride in your heart or you esteem anything in the world more than God, then you are in spiritual Babylon.
If you find yourself in Babylon, what are you to do? God wants you to leave Babylon right now! Jesus is calling you to worship Him in spirit and in truth. He does not want you to face God’s wrath. Repent and turn to Christ your Savior!
Friend, will you share the second angel’s message with others?

- Together, these books provide a complete narrative of God's work in the world and His plan for His people.
Application:

- Reflect on how the themes and stories in the Bible can impact your own life and faith journey.

Conclusion:
The books of the Bible are not just separate entities but are interconnected parts of the larger story of God's redemption and love for humanity. Each book has its own importance and contributes to the overall message of God's plan for salvation. May we approach the study of the Bible with reverence and openness to the wisdom and guidance it offers for our lives.
And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done. Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.
- Revelation 22:6-7 KJV, 2022
“Then they said to Jeremiah, The LORD be a true and faithful witness between us, if we do not even according to all things for the which the LORD thy God shall send thee to us.” (Jer 42:5 KJV)
“This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.” (1 Tim 1:15 KJV)
“It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him.” (2 Tim 2:11 KJV)
“And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.” (Rev 21:5 KJV)
“For you can all prophesy in turn so that everyone may be instructed and encouraged. The spirits of prophets are subject to the control of prophets.” (1 Cor 14:31-32 NIV, 2011)
“That is, the mystery made known to me by revelation, as I have already written briefly. In reading this, then, you will be able to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ, which was not made known to people in other generations as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to God’s holy apostles and prophets.” (Eph 3:3-5 NIV)
“The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.” (Rom 16:20 NIV)
“Very truly I tell you, whoever obeys my word will never see death.” (Jhn 5:51 NIV)
“Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.” (Jhn 14:23 KJV)
Summary - So we have the angel speaking again, and we know it’s the angel because in verses 8&9 the angel refuses to be worshiped by John. But in verse 7 we jump to...Jesus speaking? I think verse 7 is supposed to be what the Lord God told his prophets; meaning "These sayings are faithful and true, which God told us, ‘Behold I come quickly...’ ” We might not understand what “quickly” means to God, but we know what we have been called to do, which is to “keep the sayings of this prophecy”. We are asked to obey God and keep the words of Jesus. God will take care of the rest.

Christ’s disciples have inquired the definite time of Christ’s coming, for they knew that God has appointed the day of His return (Matthew 24:3, 4).
Moreover, Christ was being likened to a goodman who has gone a long journey (Mark 13:32–34) and will definitely come home on the day He appointed.
PROVERBS 7:19, 20
(19) For the GOODMAN is not at home, he is gone a long JOURNEY:
(20) …and will COME home at the DAY APPOINTED.
The appointed time of Christ’s return was being correlated to the summer, which can be known, for it precisely occurs in the appointed season (Matthew 24:32, 33).
Herein, God assures His people to bestow upon them the knowledge of knowing the set time of His return
(1 Timothy 6:14, 15).
Thus, God regarded His people as wise servants (Matthew 24:40, 45) and the children of light, for they were not ignorant of His appointed time.
On the other hand, the evil servants, who were the children of darkness, contend to believe that Christ’s return will be delayed and will not be known (Matthew 24:48, 50-51).
1 THESSALONIANS 5:2, 4-5
(2) For yourselves know perfectly that the DAY of the Lord so COMETH as a THIEF in the night.
(4) But ye, brethren, are NOT in DARKNESS, that that DAY should OVERTAKE you as a THIEF.
(5) Ye are all the children of LIGHT… we are NOT of the NIGHT, NOR of DARKNESS.
Christ’s return will only overtake as a thief in the night to those who were in darkness (1 Thessalonians 5:2, 4-5), for they have not watched, refusing to believe the undeniable truth of God’s appointed time.
MATTHEW 24:42 WATCH therefore: for ye KNOW NOT what hour your LORD doth COME.
REVEVLATION 3:3 …If therefore thou shalt NOT WATCH, I will COME on thee as a THIEF, and thou shalt NOT KNOW what HOUR I will COME upon thee.
Similarly, those who knew not the coming of the flood in the days of Noah have suffered God’s retribution, for they mocked the message of God concerning His appointed time (Genesis 6:3).
MATTHEW 24:37-39
(37) But as the DAYS of NOE were, so shall also the COMING of the SON of man be.
(38) …they were eating and drinking… until the day that NOE ENTERED into the ARK,
(39) And KNEW NOT until the flood came, and TOOK THEM all away…
God esteemed the fowls of the air, who knew the appointed time of their coming, as wiser than those people who firmly argue that Christ’s return has no definite time.
JEREMIAH 8:7 Yea, the stork in the heaven KNOWETH her APPOINTED TIMES… observe the TIME of their COMING; but my PEOPLE KNOW NOT the JUDGMENT of the LORD.
ACTS 17:30, 31
(30) And the times of this ignorance God winked at…
(31) Because he hath APPOINTED a DAY, in the which he will JUDGE the WORLD in righteousness…
Israel has been terribly destroyed, for they intentionally denied the appointed time of God’s visitation (Luke 19:41-44).
586 BCE – FIRST Destruction, 70 CE – SECOND Destruction
BY USING CONCATENATION:
586 + 7 = 5867 (flipped figure of 5786)
The Hebrew year 5786 corresponds to the year 2026 in the Gregorian Calendar, which is the exact year of Christ’s return.
This will likewise be the cause for the global destruction in these last days considering that Christ’s return was being typified in the first and second destructions of Jerusalem.
MARK 1:15 The TIME IS FULFILLED, and the kingdom of God is at hand: REPENT ye, and BELIEVE the gospel.
In 2022 you were opposed to the point of breaking, but now YOU are rising up as the breaker in both your personal circumstances and in your ministry to others..
You will finally accept that you are not some weak and powerless Christian but a weapon of war that God is going to move through in the years to come.
"You are My hammer and weapon of war: with you, I break nations in pieces; with you I destroy kingdoms." (Jeremiah 51:20) This year you will see the anointing that increased upon you through your struggles and opposition.
This is the season that you stop identifying yourself as damaged, a victim, or a reject. This is the moment to move past your long history and stop rehearsing it. This year you can no longer be lukewarm, not apprehending your Christ identity, and avoiding confrontation in order to appease everyone around you.
You are being positioned for the increase and for the harvest at hand through your Christ calling and will be moving from glory to glory.
Today, while it is still called today (Hebrews 3:13) is the day you will be BOLD, UNCOMPROMISED, UNDIGNIFIED, and UNAPOLOGETIC of your pursuit of Jesus, your oneness with Him, His purpose for your life, and His ways so that the lukewarm get hot, the fireless get back their fire, and you bring others to encounter their destiny in Him!
