[Revelation 17:3 ESV] {3} And he carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness, and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was full of blasphemous names, and it had seven heads and ten horns.

[Revelation 17:12 ESV] {12} And the ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have not yet received royal power, but they are to receive authority as kings for one hour, together with the beast.

[Revelation 13:5 ESV] {5} And the beast was given a mouth uttering haughty and blasphemous words, and it was allowed to exercise authority for forty-two months.

[Revelation 12:14 ESV] {14} But the woman was given the two wings of the great eagle so that she might fly from the serpent into the wilderness, to the place where she is to be nourished for a time, and times, and half a time.

[Revelation 12:6 ESV] {6} and the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, in which she is to be nourished for 1,260 days.

[Daniel 2:44-45 ESV] {44} And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that shall never be destroyed, nor shall the kingdom be left to another people. It shall break in pieces all these kingdoms and bring them to an end, and it shall stand forever, {45} just as you saw that a stone was cut from a mountain by no human hand, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold. A great God has made known to the king what shall be after this. The dream is certain, and its interpretation sure.”

[Daniel 4:3 ESV] {3} How great are his signs, how mighty his wonders! His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his dominion endures from generation to generation.

[Daniel 6:26 ESV] {26} I make a decree, that in all my royal dominion people are to tremble and fear before the God of Daniel, for he is the living God, enduring forever; his kingdom shall never be destroyed, and his dominion shall be to the end.

[Isaiah 9:2-7 ESV] {2} The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness, on them has light shone. {3} You have multiplied the nation; you have increased its joy; they rejoice before you as with joy at the harvest, as they are glad when they divide the spoil. {4} For the yoke of his burden, and the staff for his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, you have broken as on the day of Midian. {5} For every boot of the tramping warrior in battle tumult and every garment rolled in blood will be burned as fuel for the fire. {6} For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. {7} Of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end, on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from this time forth and forevermore. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will do this.

[Zechariah 8:1-8 ESV] {1} And the word of the LORD of hosts came, saying, {2} “Thus says the LORD of hosts: I am jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I am jealous for her with great wrath. {3} Thus says the LORD: I have returned to Zion and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem, and Jerusalem shall be called the faithful city, and the mountain of the LORD of hosts, the holy mountain. {4} Thus says the LORD of hosts: Old men and old women shall again sit in the streets of Jerusalem, each with staff in hand because of great age. {5} And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in its streets. {6} Thus says the LORD of hosts: If it is marvelous in the sight of the remnant of this people in those days, should it also be marvelous in my sight, declares the LORD of hosts? {7} Thus says the LORD of hosts: Behold, I will save my people from the east country and from the west country, {8} and I will bring them to dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. And they shall be my people, and I will be their God, in faithfulness and in righteousness.”

[Zechariah 14:1-9 ESV] {1} Behold, a day is coming for the LORD, when the spoil taken from you will be divided in your midst. {2} For I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem to battle, and the city shall be taken and the houses plundered and the women raped. Half of the city shall go out into exile, but the rest of the people shall not be cut off from the city. {3} Then the LORD will go out and fight against those nations as when he fights on a day of battle. {4} On that day his feet shall stand on the Mount of Olives that lies before Jerusalem on the east, and the Mount of Olives shall be split in two from east to west by a very wide valley, so that one half of the Mount shall move northward, and the other half southward. {5} And you shall flee to the valley of my mountains, for the valley of the mountains shall reach to Azal. And you shall flee as you fled from the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then the LORD my God will come, and all the holy ones with him. {6} On that day there shall be no light, cold, or frost. {7} And there shall be a unique day, which is known to the LORD, neither day nor night, but at evening time there shall be light. {8} On that day living waters shall flow out from Jerusalem, half of them to the eastern sea and half of them to the western sea. It shall continue in summer as in winter. {9} And the LORD will be king over all the earth. On that day the LORD will be one and his name one.

[Zechariah 14:16-21 ESV] {16} Then everyone who survives of all the nations that have come against Jerusalem shall go up year after year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the Feast of Booths. {17} And if any of the families of the earth do not go up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, there will be no rain on them. {18} And if the family of Egypt does not go up and present themselves, then on them there shall be no rain; there shall be the plague with which the LORD afflicts the nations that do not go up to keep the Feast of Booths. {19} This shall be the punishment to Egypt and the punishment to all the nations that do not go up to keep the Feast of Booths. {20} And on that day there shall be inscribed on the bells of the horses, “Holy to the LORD.” And the pots in the house of the LORD shall be as the bowls before the altar. {21} And every pot in Jerusalem and Judah shall be holy to the LORD of hosts, so that all who sacrifice may come and take of them and boil the meat of the sacrifice in them. And there shall no longer be a trader in the house of the LORD of hosts on that day.

[Isaiah 24:21-23 ESV] {21} On that day the LORD will punish the host of heaven, in heaven, and the kings of the earth, on the earth. {22} They will be gathered together as prisoners in a pit; they will be shut up in a prison, and after many days they will be punished. {23} Then the moon will be confounded and the sun ashamed, for the LORD of hosts reigns on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, and his glory will be before his elders.

[Isaiah 2:1-4 ESV] {1} The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem. {2} It shall come to pass in the latter days that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established as the highest of the mountains, and shall be lifted up above the hills; and all the nations shall flow to it, {3} and many peoples shall come, and say: “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob, that he may teach us his ways and that we may walk in his paths.” For out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. {4} He shall judge between the nations, and shall decide disputes for many peoples; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore.

[Ezekiel 37:21-28 ESV] {21} then say to them, Thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I will take the people of Israel from the nations among which they have gone, and will gather them from all around, and bring them to their own land. {22} And I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel. And one king shall be king over them all, and they shall be no longer two nations, and no longer divided into two kingdoms. {23} They shall not defile themselves anymore with their idols and their detestable things, or with any of their transgressions. But I will save them from all the backslidings in which they have sinned, and will cleanse them; and they shall be my people, and I will be their God. {24} “My servant David shall be king over them, and they shall all have one shepherd. They shall walk in my rules and be careful to obey my statutes. {25} They shall dwell in the land that I gave to my servant Jacob, where your fathers lived. They and their children and their children’s children shall dwell there forever, and David my servant shall be their prince forever. {26} I will make a covenant of peace with them. It shall be an everlasting covenant with them. And I will set them in their land and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in their midst forevermore. {27} My dwelling place shall be with them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. {28} Then the nations will know that I am the LORD who sanctifies Israel, when my sanctuary is in their midst forevermore.”

[Matthew 24:3 ESV] {3} As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?”

[Matthew 24:29-31 ESV] {29} “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. {30} Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. {31} And he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

[Matthew 25:31-46 ESV] {31} “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. {32} Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. {33} And he will place the sheep on his right, but the goats on the left. {34} 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. {35} For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, {36} I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’ {37} Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? {38} And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? {39} And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ {40} 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.’ {41} “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. {42} For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, {43} 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.’ {44} Then they also will answer, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to you?’ {45} Then he will answer them, saying, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.’ {46} And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”

[1 Corinthians 15:22-26 ESV] {22} For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. {23} But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ. {24} Then comes the end, when he delivers the kingdom to God the Father after destroying every rule and every authority and power. {25} For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. {26} The last enemy to be destroyed is death.

[Revelation 19:11-21 ESV] {11} Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! The one sitting on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war. {12} His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems, and he has a name written that no one knows but himself. {13} He is clothed in a robe dipped in blood, and the name by which he is called is The Word of God. {14} And the armies of heaven, arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, were following him on white horses. {15} From his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron. He will tread the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty. {16} On his robe and on his thigh he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords. {17} Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, and with a loud voice he called to all the birds that fly directly overhead, “Come, gather for the great supper of God, {18} to eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all men, both free and slave, both small and great.” {19} And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth with their armies gathered to make war against him who was sitting on the horse and against his army. {20} And the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who in its presence had done the signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped its image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur. {21} And the rest were slain by the sword that came from the mouth of him who was sitting on the horse, and all the birds were gorged with their flesh.

[Revelation 20:1-6 ESV] {1} Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding in his hand the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain. {2} And he seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years, {3} and threw him into the pit, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he might not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were ended. After that he must be released for a little while. {4} Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom the authority to judge was committed. Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. {5} The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended. This is the first resurrection. {6} Blessed and holy is the one who shares in the first resurrection! Over such the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and they will reign with him for a thousand years.

[Jeremiah 25:7-14 ESV] {7} Yet you have not listened to me, declares the LORD, that you might provoke me to anger with the work of your hands to your own harm. {8} “Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts: Because you have not obeyed my words, {9} behold, I will send for all the tribes of the north, declares the LORD, and for Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and I will bring them against this land and its inhabitants, and against all these surrounding nations. I will devote them to destruction, and make them a horror, a hissing, and an everlasting desolation. {10} Moreover, I will banish from them the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the grinding of the millstones and the light of the lamp. {11} This whole land shall become a ruin and a waste, and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years. {12} Then after seventy years are completed, I will punish the king of Babylon and that nation, the land of the Chaldeans, for their iniquity, declares the LORD, making the land an everlasting waste. {13} I will bring upon that land all the words that I have uttered against it, everything written in this book, which Jeremiah prophesied against all the nations. {14} For many nations and great kings shall make slaves even of them, and I will recompense them according to their deeds and the work of their hands.”

[Leviticus 25:1-7 ESV] {1} The LORD spoke to Moses on Mount Sinai, saying, {2} “Speak to the people of Israel and say to them, When you come into the land that I give you, the land shall keep a Sabbath to the LORD. {3} For six years you shall sow your field, and for six years you shall prune your vineyard and gather in its fruits, {4} but in the seventh year there shall be a Sabbath of solemn rest for the land, a Sabbath to the LORD. You shall not sow your field or prune your vineyard. {5} You shall not reap what grows of itself in your harvest, or gather the grapes of your undressed vine. It shall be a year of solemn rest for the land. {6} The Sabbath of the land shall provide food for you, for yourself and for your male and female slaves and for your hired worker and the sojourner who lives with you, {7} and for your cattle and for the wild animals that are in your land: all its yield shall be for food.

[Leviticus 26:33-35 ESV] {33} And I will scatter you among the nations, and I will unsheathe the sword after you, and your land shall be a desolation, and your cities shall be a waste. {34} “Then the land shall enjoy its Sabbaths as long as it lies desolate, while you are in your enemies’ land; then the land shall rest, and enjoy its Sabbaths. {35} As long as it lies desolate it shall have rest, the rest that it did not have on your Sabbaths when you were dwelling in it.

[2 Chronicles 36:17-21 ESV] {17} Therefore he brought up against them the king of the Chaldeans, who killed their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary and had no compassion on young man or virgin, old man or aged. He gave them all into his hand. {18} And all the vessels of the house of God, great and small, and the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king and of his princes, all these he brought to Babylon. {19} And they burned the house of God and broke down the wall of Jerusalem and burned all its palaces with fire and destroyed all its precious vessels. {20} He took into exile in Babylon those who had escaped from the sword, and they became servants to him and to his sons until the establishment of the kingdom of Persia, {21} to fulfill the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed its Sabbaths. All the days that it lay desolate it kept Sabbath, to fulfill seventy years.

[Nehemiah 1:1-11 ESV] {1} The words of Nehemiah the son of Hacaliah. Now it happened in the month of Chislev, in the twentieth year, as I was in Susa the citadel, {2} that Hanani, one of my brothers, came with certain men from Judah. And I asked them concerning the Jews who escaped, who had survived the exile, and concerning Jerusalem. {3} And they said to me, “The remnant there in the province who had survived the exile is in great trouble and shame. The wall of Jerusalem is broken down, and its gates are destroyed by fire.” {4} As soon as I heard these words I sat down and wept and mourned for days, and I continued fasting and praying before the God of heaven. {5} And I said, “O LORD God of heaven, the great and awesome God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, {6} let your ear be attentive and your eyes open, to hear the prayer of your servant that I now pray before you day and night for the people of Israel your servants, confessing the sins of the people of Israel, which we have sinned against you. Even I and my father’s house have sinned. {7} We have acted very corruptly against you and have not kept the commandments, the statutes, and the rules that you commanded your servant Moses. {8} Remember the word that you commanded your servant Moses, saying, ‘If you are unfaithful, I will scatter you among the peoples, {9} but if you return to me and keep my commandments and do them, though your outcasts are in the uttermost parts of heaven, from there I will gather them and bring them to the place that I have chosen, to make my name dwell there.’ {10} They are your servants and your people, whom you have redeemed by your great power and by your strong hand. {11} O Lord, let your ear be attentive to the prayer of your servant, and to the prayer of your servants who delight to fear your name, and give success to your servant today, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man.” Now I was cupbearer to the king.

[Nehemiah 2:1-9 ESV] {1} In the month of Nisan, in the twentieth year of King Artaxerxes, when wine was before him, I took up the wine and gave it to the king. Now I had not been sad in his presence. {2} And the king said to me, “Why is your face sad, seeing you are not sick? This is nothing but sadness of the heart.” Then I was very much afraid. {3} I said to the king, “Let the king live forever! Why should not my face be sad, when the city, the place of my fathers’ graves, lies in ruins, and its gates have been destroyed by fire?” {4} Then the king said to me, “What are you requesting?” So I prayed to the God of heaven. {5} And I said to the king, “If it pleases the king, and if your servant has found favor in your sight, that you send me to Judah, to the city of my fathers’ graves, that I may rebuild it.” {6} And the king said to me (the queen sitting beside him), “How long will you be gone, and when will you return?” So it pleased the king to send me when I had given him a time. {7} And I said to the king, “If it pleases the king, let letters be given me to the governors of the province Beyond the River, that they may let me pass through until I come to Judah, {8} and a letter to Asaph, the keeper of the king’s forest, that he may give me timber to make beams for the gates of the fortress of the temple, and for the wall of the city, and for the house that I shall occupy.” And the king granted me what I asked, for the good hand of my God was upon me. {9} Then I came to the governors of the province Beyond the River and gave them the king’s letters. Now the king had sent with me officers of the army and horsemen.

[Luke 21:20-24 ESV] {20} “But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation has come near. {21} Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, and let those who are inside the city depart, and let not those who are out in the country enter it, {22} for these are days of vengeance, to fulfill all that is written. {23} Alas for women who are pregnant and for those who are nursing infants in those days! For there will be great distress upon the earth and wrath against this people. {24} They will fall by the edge of the sword and be led captive among all nations, and Jerusalem will be trampled underfoot by the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.

[Daniel 7:25 ESV] {25} He shall speak words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the Most High, and shall think to change the times and the law; and they shall be given into his hand for a time, times, and half a time.

[1 John 2:18 ESV] {18} Children, it is the last hour, and as you have heard that antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have come. Therefore we know that it is the last hour.

[1 John 4:3 ESV] {3} and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already.

[2 Thessalonians 2:1-12 ESV] {1} Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him, we ask you, brothers, {2} not to be quickly shaken in mind or alarmed, either by a spirit or a spoken word, or a letter seeming to be from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come. {3} Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, {4} who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God. {5} Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? {6} And you know what is restraining him now so that he may be revealed in his time. {7} For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work. Only he who now restrains it will do so until he is out of the way. {8} And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will kill with the breath of his mouth and bring to nothing by the appearance of his coming. {9} The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders, {10} and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. {11} Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, {12} in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

For it is necessary that temptations come, but woe to the one by whom the temptation comes! {8} And if your hand or your foot causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life crippled or lame than with two hands or two feet to be thrown into the eternal fire. {9} And if your eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown into the hell of fire. {10} “See that you do not despise one of these little ones.

[Ezekiel 28:1-19 ESV] {1} The word of the LORD came to me: {2} “Son of man, say to the prince of Tyre, Thus says the Lord GOD: “Because your heart is proud, and you have said, ‘I am a god, I sit in the seat of the gods, in the heart of the seas,’ yet you are but a man, and no god, though you make your heart like the heart of a god– {3} you are indeed wiser than Daniel; no secret is hidden from you; {4} by your wisdom and your understanding you have made wealth for yourself, and have gathered gold and silver into your treasuries; {5} by your great wisdom in your trade you have increased your wealth, and your heart has become proud in your wealth– {6} therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Because you make your heart like the heart of a god, {7} therefore, behold, I will bring foreigners upon you, the most ruthless of the nations; and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom and defile your splendor. {8} They shall thrust you down into the pit, and you shall die the death of the slain in the heart of the seas. {9} Will you still say, ‘I am a god,’ in the presence of those who kill you, though you are but a man, and no god, in the hands of those who slay you? {10} You shall die the death of the uncircumcised by the hand of foreigners; for I have spoken, declares the Lord GOD.” {11} Moreover, the word of the LORD came to me: {12} “Son of man, raise a lamentation over the king of Tyre, and say to him, Thus says the Lord GOD: “You were the signet of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. {13} You were in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone was your covering, sardius, topaz, and diamond, beryl, onyx, and jasper, sapphire, emerald, and carbuncle; and crafted in gold were your settings and your engravings. On the day that you were created they were prepared. {14} You were an anointed guardian cherub. I placed you; you were on the holy mountain of God; in the midst of the stones of fire you walked. {15} You were blameless in your ways from the day you were created, till unrighteousness was found in you. {16} In the abundance of your trade you were filled with violence in your midst, and you sinned; so I cast you as a profane thing from the mountain of God, and I destroyed you, O guardian cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. {17} Your heart was proud because of your beauty; you corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor. I cast you to the ground; I exposed you before kings, to feast their eyes on you. {18} By the multitude of your iniquities, in the unrighteousness of your trade you profaned your sanctuaries; so I brought fire out from your midst; it consumed you, and I turned you to ashes on the earth in the sight of all who saw you. {19} All who know you among the peoples are appalled at you; you have come to a dreadful end and shall be no more forever.”

[Psalm 99:1 ESV] {1} The LORD reigns; let the peoples tremble! He sits enthroned upon the cherubim; let the earth quake!

[Isaiah 14:12-15 ESV] {12} “How you are fallen from heaven, O Day Star, son of Dawn! How you are cut down to the ground, you who laid the nations low! {13} You said in your heart, ‘I will ascend to heaven; above the stars of God I will set my throne on high; I will sit on the mount of assembly in the far reaches of the north; {14} I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.’ {15} But you are brought down to Sheol, to the far reaches of the pit.

[Job 38:7 ESV] {7} when the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

[Revelation 1:16 ESV] {16} In his right hand he held seven stars, from his mouth came a sharp two-edged sword, and his face was like the sun shining in full strength.

[Revelation 1:20 ESV] {20} As for the mystery of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden lampstands, the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.

[Revelation 9:1 ESV] {1} And the fifth angel blew his trumpet, and I saw a star fallen from heaven to earth, and he was given the key to the shaft of the bottomless pit.

[Ephesians 6:10-13 ESV] {10} Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. {11} Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. {12} For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. {13} Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm.

[Ephesians 1:18-23 ESV] {18} having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, {19} and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might {20} that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, {21} far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. {22} And he put all things under his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church, {23} which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.

[Ephesians 2:4-6 ESV] {4} But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, {5} even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ–by grace you have been saved– {6} and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,

[Luke 22:31 ESV] {31} “Simon, Simon, behold, Satan demanded to have you, that he might sift you like wheat,

[2 Peter 2:9-11 ESV] {9} then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment until the day of judgment, {10} and especially those who indulge in the lust of defiling passion and despise authority. Bold and willful, they do not tremble as they blaspheme the glorious ones, {11} whereas angels, though greater in might and power, do not pronounce a blasphemous judgment against them before the Lord.

[Psalm 78:49 ESV] {49} He let loose on them his burning anger, wrath, indignation, and distress, a company of destroying angels.

[2 Chronicles 32:20-22 ESV] {20} Then Hezekiah the king and Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, prayed because of this and cried to heaven. {21} And the LORD sent an angel, who cut off all the mighty warriors and commanders and officers in the camp of the king of Assyria. So he returned with shame of face to his own land. And when he came into the house of his god, some of his own sons struck him down there with the sword. {22} So the LORD saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib king of Assyria and from the hand of all his enemies, and he provided for them on every side.

[Revelation 9:13-15 ESV] {13} Then the sixth angel blew his trumpet, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar before God, {14} saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.” {15} So the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour, the day, the month, and the year, were released to kill a third of mankind.

[Romans 8:35-39 ESV] {35} Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? {36} As it is written, “For your sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.” {37} No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. {38} For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, {39} nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

[Daniel 10:13, 20 ESV] {13} The prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days, but Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I was left there with the kings of Persia, … {20} Then he said, “Do you know why I have come to you? But now I will return to fight against the prince of Persia; and when I go out, behold, the prince of Greece will come.

[Judges 5:19-20 ESV] {19} “The kings came, they fought; then fought the kings of Canaan, at Taanach, by the waters of Megiddo; they got no spoils of silver. {20} From heaven the stars fought, from their courses they fought against Sisera.

[Daniel 8:23-24 ESV] {23} And at the latter end of their kingdom, when the transgressors have reached their limit, a king of bold face, one who understands riddles, shall arise. {24} His power shall be great–but not by his own power; and he shall cause fearful destruction and shall succeed in what he does, and destroy mighty men and the people who are the saints.

[Revelation 13:1-3 ESV] {1} And I saw a beast rising out of the sea, with ten horns and seven heads, with ten diadems on its horns and blasphemous names on its heads. {2} And the beast that I saw was like a leopard; its feet were like a bear’s, and its mouth was like a lion’s mouth. And to it the dragon gave his power and his throne and great authority. {3} One of its heads seemed to have a mortal wound, but its mortal wound was healed, and the whole earth marveled as they followed the beast.

[Revelation 16:13-14 ESV] {13} And I saw, coming out of the mouth of the dragon and out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs. {14} For they are demonic spirits, performing signs, who go abroad to the kings of the whole world, to assemble them for battle on the great day of God the Almighty.

[1 Timothy 2:1-4 ESV] {1} First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, {2} for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. {3} This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, {4} who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

[Ephesians 6:18-20 ESV] {18} praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints, {19} and also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel, {20} for which I am an ambassador in chains, that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak.

[Acts 26:18 ESV] {18} to open their eyes, so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’

[2 Corinthians 4:1-4 ESV] {1} Therefore, having this ministry by the mercy of God, we do not lose heart. {2} But we have renounced disgraceful, underhanded ways. We refuse to practice cunning or to tamper with God’s word, but by the open statement of the truth we would commend ourselves to everyone’s conscience in the sight of God. {3} And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. {4} In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

[Colossians 1:9-14 ESV] {9} And so, from the day we heard, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, {10} so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him: bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; {11} being strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy; {12} giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light. {13} He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, {14} in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

[James 5:16-18 ESV] {16} Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working. {17} Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed fervently that it might not rain, and for three years and six months it did not rain on the earth. {18} Then he prayed again, and heaven gave rain, and the earth bore its fruit.

[2 Thessalonians 2:1-12 ESV] {1} Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him, we ask you, brothers, {2} not to be quickly shaken in mind or alarmed, either by a spirit or a spoken word, or a letter seeming to be from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come. {3} Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, {4} who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God. {5} Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? {6} And you know what is restraining him now so that he may be revealed in his time. {7} For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work. Only he who now restrains it will do so until he is out of the way. {8} And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will kill with the breath of his mouth and bring to nothing by the appearance of his coming. {9} The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders, {10} and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. {11} Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, {12} in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

[Matthew 25:31-46 ESV] {31} “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. {32} Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. {33} And he will place the sheep on his right, but the goats on the left. {34} 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. {35} For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, {36} I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’ {37} Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? {38} And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? {39} And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ {40} 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.’ {41} “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. {42} For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, {43} 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.’ {44} Then they also will answer, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to you?’ {45} Then he will answer them, saying, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.’ {46} And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”

[Revelation 20:4 ESV] {4} Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom the authority to judge was committed. Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.

[1 Corinthians 6:2-3 ESV] {2} Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you incompetent to try trivial cases? {3} Do you not know that we are to judge angels? How much more, then, matters pertaining to this life!

[Matthew 25:14-30 ESV] {14} “For it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted to them his property. {15} To one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one, to each according to his ability. Then he went away. {16} He who had received the five talents went at once and traded with them, and he made five talents more. {17} So also he who had the two talents made two talents more. {18} But he who had received the one talent went and dug in the ground and hid his master’s money. {19} Now after a long time the master of those servants came and settled accounts with them. {20} And he who had received the five talents came forward, bringing five talents more, saying, ‘Master, you delivered to me five talents; here, I have made five talents more.’ {21} His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’ {22} And he also who had the two talents came forward, saying, ‘Master, you delivered to me two talents; here, I have made two talents more.’ {23} His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’ {24} He also who had received the one talent came forward, saying, ‘Master, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you scattered no seed, {25} so I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the ground. Here, you have what is yours.’ {26} But his master answered him, ‘You wicked and slothful servant! You knew that I reap where I have not sown and gather where I scattered no seed? {27} Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers, and at my coming I should have received what was my own with interest. {28} So take the talent from him and give it to him who has the ten talents. {29} For to everyone who has will more be given, and he will have an abundance. But from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away. {30} And cast the worthless servant into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’

[Revelation 2:26-29 ESV] {26} The one who conquers and who keeps my works until the end, to him I will give authority over the nations, {27} and he will rule them with a rod of iron, as when earthen pots are broken in pieces, even as I myself have received authority from my Father. {28} And I will give him the morning star. {29} He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’

[Luke 19:11-27 ESV] {11} As they heard these things, he proceeded to tell a parable, because he was near to Jerusalem, and because they supposed that the kingdom of God was to appear immediately. {12} He said therefore, “A nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and then return. {13} Calling ten of his servants, he gave them ten minas, and said to them, ‘Engage in business until I come.’ {14} But his citizens hated him and sent a delegation after him, saying, ‘We do not want this man to reign over us.’ {15} When he returned, having received the kingdom, he ordered these servants to whom he had given the money to be called to him, that he might know what they had gained by doing business. {16} The first came before him, saying, ‘Lord, your mina has made ten minas more.’ {17} And he said to him, ‘Well done, good servant! Because you have been faithful in a very little, you shall have authority over ten cities.’ {18} And the second came, saying, ‘Lord, your mina has made five minas.’ {19} And he said to him, ‘And you are to be over five cities.’ {20} Then another came, saying, ‘Lord, here is your mina, which I kept laid away in a handkerchief; {21} for I was afraid of you, because you are a severe man. You take what you did not deposit, and reap what you did not sow.’ {22} He said to him, ‘I will condemn you with your own words, you wicked servant! You knew that I was a severe man, taking what I did not deposit and reaping what I did not sow? {23} Why then did you not put my money in the bank, and at my coming I might have collected it with interest?’ {24} And he said to those who stood by, ‘Take the mina from him, and give it to the one who has the ten minas.’ {25} And they said to him, ‘Lord, he has ten minas!’ {26} ‘I tell you that to everyone who has, more will be given, but from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away. {27} But as for these enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and slaughter them before me.'”

[Matthew 16:27 ESV] {27} For the Son of Man is going to come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and then he will repay each person according to what he has done.

[Luke 6:23 ESV] {23} Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven; for so their fathers did to the prophets.

[2 John 1:8 ESV] {8} Watch yourselves, so that you may not lose what we have worked for, but may win a full reward.

[Revelation 11:18 ESV] {18} The nations raged, but your wrath came, and the time for the dead to be judged, and for rewarding your servants, the prophets and saints, and those who fear your name, both small and great, and for destroying the destroyers of the earth.”

[Revelation 22:12 ESV] {12} “Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense with me, to repay each one for what he has done.

[2 Corinthians 5:10 ESV] {10} For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil.

[Romans 14:10 ESV] {10} Why do you pass judgment on your brother? Or you, why do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God;
