Looking Back

Into the Future

(Rev 4:1-4) After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a

trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must

be hereafter. And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in

heaven, and one sat on the throne. And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a

sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an

emerald. And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I

saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads

crowns of gold.

Rapture

(Rev 4:1) After this I looked, and,

behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was

as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up

hither, and I will shew thee things

which must be hereafter.

(Rom 1:20) For the invisible things of him

from the creation of the world are clearly seen,

being understood by the things that are made,

even his eternal power and Godhead; so that

they are without excuse:

(Psa 148:1-7) Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the LORD from the heavens: praise him in the heights. Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his

hosts. Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light. Praise him, ye heavens of

heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens. Let them praise the name of the LORD: for he

commanded, and they were created. He hath also stablished them for ever and ever: he hath made a decree which shall not pass. Praise the LORD from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps: Fire, and hail; snow, and vapour; stormy wind fulfilling his word:

Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars: Beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and

flying fowl:

ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of

God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides

of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I

will be like the most High.

(Psa 148:1-7) Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the LORD from the heavens: praise him in the heights. Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his

hosts. Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light. Praise him, ye heavens of

heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens. Let them praise the name of the LORD:

for he commanded, and they were created. He hath also stablished them for ever and ever: he

hath made a decree which shall not pass. Praise the LORD from the earth, ye dragons, and all

deeps: Fire, and hail; snow, and vapour; stormy wind fulfilling his word: Mountains, and all hills;

(Gen 1:1-2) In the beginning God

created the heaven and the earth. And

the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God

moved upon the face of the waters.

(Gen 7:11) In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of

the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of

heaven were opened.

(Gen 8:2) The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the

rain from heaven was restrained;

(Job 38:29-31) Out of whose womb came the

ice? and the hoary frost of heaven, who hath

gendered it? The waters are hid as with a stone, and the face of the deep is frozen. Canst thou bind

the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the

bands of Orion?

The

Sea

of

Glass

(Rev 4:6) And before the throne there was a sea of

glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and

round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before

and behind.

(Rev 15:2) And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that

had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and

over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.

(Job 37:14-24) Hearken unto this, O Job: stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God. Dost thou know when God disposed them, and

caused the light of his cloud to shine? Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him which is perfect in knowledge? How

thy garments are warm, when he quieteth the earth by the south wind? Hast thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a

molten looking glass? Teach us what we shall say unto him; for we cannot order our speech by

reason of darkness. Shall it be told him that I speak? if a man speak, surely he shall be

swallowed up. And now men see not the bright light which is in the clouds: but the

wind passeth, and cleanseth them. Fair weather cometh out of the north: with God is terrible

majesty. Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out: he is excellent in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of justice: he will not

afflict. Men do therefore fear him: he respecteth not any that are wise of heart.

(Job 26:7-13) He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and

hangeth the earth upon nothing. He bindeth up the waters in his thick

clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them. He holdeth back the face of

his throne, and spreadeth his cloud upon it. He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the

day and night come to an end. The pillars of heaven tremble and are

astonished at his reproof. He divideth the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud. By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed

the crooked serpent.

(Job 22:11-14) Or darkness, that thou canst not see; and

abundance of waters cover thee. Is not God in the height of heaven? and

behold the height of the stars, how high they are! And thou sayest, How doth God know? can he judge through the dark cloud?

Thick clouds are a covering to him, that he seeth not;

and he walketh in the circuit of heaven.

(Job 38:8-11) Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it

brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb? When I

made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a

swaddlingband for it, And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and

doors, And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy

proud waves be stayed?

(Job 41:31-32) He maketh the deep to boil like a pot: he

maketh the sea like a pot of ointment. He maketh a path to

shine after him; one would think the deep

to be hoary.

(Isa 27:1) In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong

sword shall punish leviathan the piercing

serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent;

and he shall slay the dragon that is in the

sea.

(Rev 12:9-10) And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and

Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast

out with him. And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is

come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the

power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast

down, which accused them before our God day and night.

(Job 26:7-13) He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and

hangeth the earth upon nothing. He bindeth up the waters in his thick

clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them. He holdeth back the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud upon it. He hath compassed the waters

with bounds, until the day and night come to an end. The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof. He divideth the sea with

his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud. By his

spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked

serpent.

(Rev 21:1) And I saw a new

heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and

the first earth were passed

away; and there was no more sea.

Rev 19

(Rev 19:20) And the beast was taken, and with him the false

prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of

the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire

burning with brimstone.

Isa. 34:6-15

(Isa 34:6-9) The sword of the LORD is filled with blood, it is made fat with

fatness, and with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of

rams: for the LORD hath a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the

land of Idumea. And the unicorns shall come down with them, and the bullocks

with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness. For it is the day of the

LORD'S vengeance, and the year of recompences for the controversy of

Zion. And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch, and the dust thereof into brimstone, and the land thereof

shall become burning pitch.

(Isa 34:10-13) It shall not be quenched night nor day; the smoke

thereof shall go up for ever: from generation to generation it shall lie

waste; none shall pass through it for ever and ever. But the cormorant and the bittern shall possess it; the owl also and the raven shall dwell in it: and he shall stretch out upon it the

line of confusion, and the stones of emptiness. They shall call the nobles thereof to the kingdom, but none shall be there, and all her princes shall be nothing. And thorns shall come up in her palaces, nettles and brambles in the fortresses thereof: and it shall be

an habitation of dragons, and a court for owls.

(Isa 34:14-15) The wild beasts of the desert shall

also meet with the wild beasts of the island, and the satyr shall cry to his fellow; the screech owl also shall rest there, and find for herself a

place of rest. There shall the great owl make her nest, and

lay, and hatch, and gather under her shadow: there shall

the vultures also be gathered, every one with her

mate.

(Isa 63:1-4) Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from

Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of

his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save. Wherefore art thou red in thine

apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winefat? I have trodden the winepress alone; and of

the people there was none with me: for I will tread them in mine anger, and trample them in my fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my

raiment. For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my

redeemed is come.

(Amo 1:12) But I will send a fire upon Teman, which

shall devour the palaces of Bozrah.

(Hab 3:3) God came from Teman, and the Holy One from mount Paran. Selah.

His glory covered the heavens, and the earth was

full of his praise.

(Isa 13:19-22) And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees'

excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah. It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it

be dwelt in from generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian

pitch tent there; neither shall the shepherds make their fold there. But

wild beasts of the desert shall lie there; and their houses shall be full of doleful creatures; and owls shall dwell there, and satyrs shall dance there. And the wild beasts of the islands shall cry in

their desolate houses, and dragons in their pleasant palaces: and her time is

near to come, and her days shall not be prolonged.

(Rev 20:11-15) And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away;

and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before

God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book

of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and

hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man

according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the

second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was

cast into the lake of fire.

(Rev 21:1-3) And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the

first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the

holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of

heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I

heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell

with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be

with them, and be their God.
