*and seven thousand names of men were killed in the earthquake:*

kai hoi loiPOI EMpho-boi [1719] eGEnon-to, kai Ed*o*-kan DOxan t*o*
The*O*tou ou-raNOU.

*and the rest were frightened, and gave glory to the God of :heaven.*


 *3. 11:14 WARNING OF THIRD WOE*

H*e* ouAI [3759] h*e* deuTEra aP*E*Lthen: iDOU, h*e* ouAI h*e*
TRIt*e*ERche-tai taCHU
[5035].

*The second :Woe is gone: lo, the third :Woe comes quickly.*



 *NOTE**: *10:1-11 - The Lord through His angel gives John a striking
message concerning the 7 thunders. Refer back to the *NOTE* under chapter 4,
to see the 7 keys of the First Passover in Egypt and the Exodus through the
Red Sea. Place these 7 upon the Book of Revelation, and it opens it up with
a clear simplicity. The seventh trump finishes the *mystery* of God.


 The Booklet John is about to eat has a prophetic importance, contrasting
its message between his mouth and stomach. The prophetic message has a
fourfold audience.


 11:1-13 - This measuring of the Temple reminds us of a parallel passage in
the Book of Ezekiel. But it then branches out, and takes on the two
witnesses and their ministry of 3 ½ years. See the book of Zechariah for
more insights on these two. God gives them unusual judgmental powers, much
like Moses had over Pharaoh and Egypt. God then permits the beast from the
abyss to kill these two. *But* - in three days - the wicked world's
rejoicing turns into frightful fear, as God resurrects them from the dead,
and ushers them into heaven. Then a frightful judgment through earthquake
follows.


 Earthquakes represent the judgment of God. In the San Francisco earthquake
of 1906, newspapers and the news media firmly averred that this earthquake
and *nothing to do* with the judgment of God. But Frank Bartleman wrote a
tract listing every Biblical earthquake. *Each one of them* represented
God's judgment. Bartleman's application of this to San Francisco, brought
great rage upon those who read his tract. He had to literally flee through
the streets of the city to escape the mob and their murderous intent. In
this last earthquake foretold by John, at least we see earth's inhabitants
recognizing the righteous judgment of God, and giving *Him* the glory!


 11:14 - Lastly, we read of the warning of the soon-coming third woe. So
these prophetic pictures given by Jesus through His angel to John - have a
2-fold intent: they warn believers not to fall away from their commitment,
but to endure unto the end. And they warn unbelievers, if by any chance they
can have their eyes opened, and amend their evil ways. - J.A.W.
