Matthew 24:21 For then shall be great
tribulation, such as was not since the
beginning of the world to this time, no,
nor ever shall be. 24:22 And except
those days should be shortened, there
should no flesh be saved: but for the
elect's sake those days shall be
shortened.
I. the

and twenty thrones: and upon the thrones I saw
four and twenty elders sitting, arrayed in white
garments; and on their heads crowns of gold.
Rev 5:9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou
art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals
thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us
to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and
tongue, and people, and nation;
2 Corinthians 5:10 For we must all appear before
the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may
receive the things done in his body, according to
that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
2 Timothy 4:8 Henceforth there is laid up for me
a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the
righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not
to me only, but unto all them also that love his
appearing.

as often as they will.

this great city!
Rev 18:19 And they cast dust on their heads,
and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas,
alas, that great city, wherein were made rich

costliness! for in one hour is she made
desolate.
v. armageddon/Second coming of
christ
Rev. 16:16 And he gathered them together into
a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
Rev 19:15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp
sword, that with it he should smite the nations:
and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and
he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and
wrath of Almighty God.
Rev 19:19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of
the earth, and their armies, gathered together to
make war against him that sat on the horse, and
against his army.
Rev 19:21 And the remnant were slain with the
sword of him that sat upon the horse, which
sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the
fowls were filled with their flesh.
Mat 13:30 Let both grow together
until the harvest: and in the time of
harvest I will say to the reapers,
Gather ye together first the tares, and
bind them in bundles to burn them:
but gather the wheat into my barn.
Mat 13:39 The enemy that sowed them
is the devil; the harvest is the end of
the world; and the reapers are the
angels.
Mat 13:40 As therefore the tares are
gathered and burned in the fire; so
shall it be in the end of this
world. 13:41 The Son of man shall
send forth his angels, and they shall
gather out of his kingdom all things
that offend, and them which do
iniquity; 13:42 And shall cast them
into a furnace of fire: there shall be
wailing and gnashing of teeth.
vi. The beasts
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.
vii. Satan
Rev 12:7 And there was war in heaven:
Michael and his angels fought against the
dragon; and the dragon fought and his
angels, 12:8 And prevailed not; neither was
their place found any more in
heaven. 12:9 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.
Rev 20:1 And I saw an angel come down from
heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and
a great chain in his hand. 20:2 And he laid hold
on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the
Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand
years, 20:3 And cast him into the bottomless pit,
and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he
should deceive the nations no more, till the
thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that
he must be loosed a little season.
