I concluded the exposition of Revelation 13:6-9 in Part 5. I will now include verse 10 with verses 8 and 9 to better understand how these verses are linked together.
Revelation 13:8-10 – And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. [9] If any man have an ear, let him hear. [10] He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
Some commentators link verse 9 with verse 8, while others link it with verse 10. I believe it is actually linked with both verses 8 and 10. Verse 8 is occurring well before the wrath of God is poured out on the earth in Revelation 15:7 to 16:1.
Revelation 15:7 to 16:1 – And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who liveth for ever and ever. [8] And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power; and no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled. [1] And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth. (For a complete exposition of Revelation 15:5 to 8 see the latter portion of Prophecy Update Number 84 in our Archives)
I have already shown why I believe that saved people will still be on the earth prior to the blowing of the seventh trumpet in Prophecy Updates 73D, 74A, 84, and 85 in our Archives. The lost of Revelation 13:8 will actively worship the beast, and the saved will be actively persecuted by the lost. As to why I believe the most, and the worst, of this persecution will be occurring in the known world of John’s day, see Prophecy Update 73A in our Archives.
This persecution of the true believers by the false believers in Revelation 13:8 is intended as a warning to the saved, who have spiritual ears of verse 9 to understand it, and it is followed by a comforting exhortation in verse 10 to them to continue faithfully patience through this persecution, with the assurance that those who are persecuting them are soon to be persecuted in the same manner by God. It would compare with the oft-heard remark: “What goes around comes around!”
Revelation 13:8-10 – And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. [9] If any man have an ear, let him hear. [10] He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
Those suffering at the hands of false believers are experiencing it between the first earthquake in the Book of Revelation and the great earthquake that occurs just before the blowing of the seventh trumpet.
Revelation 6:12 – And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
Revelation 11:13-15 – And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven. [14] The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly. [15] And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
I believe the Islamic Jihad attack from the north marks the end of a brief false hudna peace, and begins the last 1260 days of what we call the tribulation period. I believe it occurs in conjunction with the first earthquake in the Revelation, which is found in 6:12. And I believe the persecuted saints of Revelation 13:10 are the “fellowservants” and “brethren” of all those souls shown in heaven shortly before the first earthquake occurs in Revelation 6:12.
Revelation 13:10 – He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
Revelation 6:9-11 – And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: [10] And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? [11] And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
