Huwag
katakutan ang Divine Government sapagkat ang mangunguna ay mga
taong banal bago dumating ang Panginoong Jesucristo (Mateo 17:11;
Malakias 4:5-6; Malakias 3:1-7; Daniel 12:1 ) Taglay niya ang Espiritu ni
ELIAS NA PROPETA na siya ring Santong Espiritung isinusugo ng
Panginoong Dios at Panginoong JesuCristo. Kaya't ang darating ay parang
Dios at Cristo dahil sa kapangyarihang taglay Niya (Revelation 10). Huwag
ding ipagtaka kung ang mga paghahari ngayon ay mawawakasan (Danile
2: 44) sapagkat titipunin ang lahat sa IISA (KUNG PAANONG
NANGGALING ANG LAHAT NG BAGAY SA IISA, MULING TITIPUNIN ITO
SA IISA. (Ephesians 1:7-10)) sa ilalaim ng talampakan ng Panginoong
JesuCristo! Pati KAMATAYAN, na siyang kahulihulihang kaaway, ay
susuko! At pagkatapos ng isang libong taon (1,000 years), ay susuko
naman ang Panginoong JesuCristo sa ating Panginoong Dios, , upang
ang Dios ay maging lahat sa lahat.

A.1. Ang gampanin Niya ay isauli ang lahat ng bagay (MATEO 17:11,
Dating Salin)
11At sumagot siya, at sinabi, Katotohanang si Elias ay paririto, at isasauli
ang lahat ng mga bagay:
(11Jesus replied,Elijah does indeed come, and he will restore all things.
Matthew 17:11)

at ang puso ng mga anak sa kanilang mga magulang. (MALAKIAS 4:5-6,
Dating Salin )
"4Alalahanin ninyo ang kautusan ni Moises na aking lingkod na aking
iniutos sa kaniya sa Horeb para sa buong Israel, sa makatuwid baga'y ang

5Narito, aking susuguin sa inyo si Elias na propeta bago dumating ang

him at Horeb for all Israel.
5See, I will send the prophet Elijah to you before that great and dreadful

Commentary:
The Angel with the Open Scroll
The failure of God's purpose is not the last word. In order to transcend
failure and bring about repentance, human participation is required--and
human suffering. Therefore John himself becomes an actor in the unfolding
drama. He sees another angel (10:1) in addition to the four who had
released the terrible invading cavalry from the east (9:14-15). This angel is
distinguished from those four, and from most angels in John's visions, by
being called mighty, or strong. The only "mighty angel" we have met before
is the one John had seen in heaven "proclaiming with a loud voice, `Who is
worthy to break the seals and open the scroll?'" (5:2). The mighty angel in
the present scene also has "a loud voice" (NASB) like the roar of a lion (v.
3). Moreover, the rainbow above his head(v. 1) recalls the rainbow
encircling the throne of God in John's first glimpse of heaven (4:3), while
the comparison of his face to the sun recalls the angel in John's
introductory vision (1:16) who identified himself as the risen one (1:17-18).
In short, this mighty angel has an aura of divinity about him that prompted
some older commentators to see him as none other than Jesus Christ
himself. This is highly unlikely, yet the angel does represent God, or the
power of God, in a way that most other angelic figures do not. He stands
astride land and sea as one who is sovereign over both (v. 2; compare
God's judgment on the land and the sea in connection with the first two
trumpets). Although he is not Christ in person, he can be viewed as a divine
agent acting on behalf of God and the Lamb. That Jesus uses certain
angels to represent him in John's visions will become explicit in 22:16: "I,
Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches."
The mighty angel here, like the one in 5:2, is introduced in connection with
a scroll (v. 2). The scroll in chapter 5 was last seen in the possession of the
Lamb, and if this angel holds the same scroll, now open, it is clear that he
is acting as the Lamb's agent or representative. Most commentators
hesitate to identify the two scrolls because the first was called simply "a
scroll" (Greek biblion,5:1), while this one is a little scroll (using a diminutive
form, biblaridion, vv. 1, 9, 10). Moreover, John mentions it as if seeing it for
the first time (v. 2). Yet later (v. 8) he is told to take the scroll (Greek to
biblion) from the angel's hand, indicating that the terms "scroll" and "little
scroll" are used interchangeably. Perhaps the scroll is "little"only in relation
to the gigantic angel who holds it. Its most conspicuous characteristic is
that it lies open in the angel's hand (vv. 2, 8). By contrast, the scroll in
chapter 5 was sealed. The overriding question in that chapter was when
and by whom it would be opened (compare 5:2, 3, 5, 9). The simplest
conclusion is that the scroll John will take from the angel's hand in this
chapter is none other than the scroll taken by the Lamb in chapter 5 (see
Mazzaferri 1989:271-74; Bauckham 1993:80-81). John has witnessed the
breaking of its seals (6:1--8:5), so there is no reason why the scroll should
not be open. Just as in chapter 5 the Lamb took the scroll in the presence
of a "mighty angel" in order to open it, John must now take the open scroll
from a mighty angel's hand in order for the plan of God to run its course (vv.
8-11).
First, however, the mighty angel and a voice from heaven (v. 4), acting
hand. When he does so, the angel gives him further instructions: Take it
and eat it. It will turn your stomach sour, but in your mouth it will be as
sweet as honey (v. 9). The thought of eating the scroll instead of reading it
is arresting. It is a thought that would probably not have occurred to any of
us had we been writing the story. It appears that the common metaphor of
"devouring" an interesting book has been taken literally!
We must know Ezekiel's story in order to understand what is going on.
Ezekiel too was told to eat a scroll and "then go and speak to the house of
Israel" (Ezek 3:1). Unlike John, Ezekiel had seen the scroll actually being
unrolled. "On both sides of it were written words of lament and mourning
and woe" (Ezek 2:9). When he ate it, "it tasted as sweet as honey" (Ezek
3:3), suggesting that Ezekiel's message would be sweet to him, though
bitter to his hearers. John's experience is more complex. Nothing is said of
what is written on the scroll, but the message is sweet as honey in John's
mouth and sour in his stomach (v. 10). Even though John (and his fellow
prophets) have the sweet privilege of hearing and delivering God's "good
news" (v. 7), their prophecies will inevitably bring them sorrow and
suffering. John knows this, for he is already a "brother and companion in
the suffering and kingdom and patient endurance that are ours in Jesus."
He is on Patmos "because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus"
(1:9). (Source: Bible Gateway)

The Parable of the Ten Virgins
25 At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their
lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2 Five of them were foolish
and five were wise. 3 The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any
oil with them. 4 The wise ones, however, took oil in jars along with their
lamps. 5 The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became
drowsy and fell asleep.
6 At midnight the cry rang out: Heres the bridegroom! Come out to meet
him!
7 Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps. 8 The foolish ones
said to the wise, Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.
9 No, they replied, there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead,
go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.
10 But while they were on their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom arrived.
The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet. And
and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled
the whole earth

B.2: THE DAVIDIC KINGDOM. (Ezekiel 37:15-28, New International
Version)
One Nation Under One King
15 The word of the LORD came to me: 16 Son of man, take a stick of
wood and write on it, Belonging to Judah and the Israelites associated with
him. Then take another stick of wood, and write on it, Belonging to Joseph
(that is, to Ephraim) and all the Israelites associated with him.17 Join them
together into one stick so that they will become one in your hand.
18 When your people ask you, Wont you tell us what you mean by this?
19 say to them, This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I am going to take
the stick of Josephwhich is in Ephraims handand of the Israelite tribes
associated with him, and join it to Judahs stick. I will make them into a
single stick of wood, and they will become one in my hand. 20 Hold before
their eyes the sticks you have written on 21 and say to them, This is what
the Sovereign LORD says: I will take the Israelites out of the nations where
they have gone. I will gather them from all around and bring them back into
their own land. 22 I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains
of Israel. There will be one king over all of them and they will never again
be two nations or be divided into two kingdoms. 23 They will no longer
defile themselves with their idols and vile images or with any of their
offenses, for I will save them from all their sinful backsliding,[a] and I will
cleanse them. They will be my people, and I will be their God.
24 My servant David will be king over them, and they will all have one
shepherd. They will follow my laws and be careful to keep my decrees.25
They will live in the land I gave to my servant Jacob, the land where your
ancestors lived. They and their children and their childrens children will live
there forever, and David my servant will be their prince forever.26 I will
make a covenant of peace with them; it will be an everlasting covenant. I
will establish them and increase their numbers, and I will put my sanctuary
among them forever. 27 My dwelling place will be with them; I will be their
God, and they will be my people. 28 Then the nations will know that I the
LORD make Israel holy, when my sanctuary is among them forever.
=========================================================
44 And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a
kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left
to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these
kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.
45 Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain
without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the
silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall
come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation
