Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more, neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of water: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. It looks almost as if they might have a tear in their eye when they first...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And there appeared a great wonder in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: This is that woman of whom the promise runs, “The seed of the woman shall bruise the serpent’s head.” John saw this in a vision in the heavenly places; he saw the Church of God, enthroned, made...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. That child that is born of her, that seed of the woman, that shall bruise the serpent’s head is: first, Christ, and then all the first-born, of whom he is the great representative.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And there appeared another wonder’ in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron; and her child was caught up ,unto God, and to his throne. That is the brief history of the birth of Christ, and of his going from us. He “was caught up unto GOD, and to his throne.” God will take care of the great principle of truth. If it cannot have a refuge on...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And the woman fled into the wilderness where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days. The church of GOD was long in obscurity. You can hardly find it among the Albigenses and Waldenses. It was hidden away among the mounts. The Wycliffites, and the Lollards, and others, held fast...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels. And prevailed not: neither was their place found any more in heaven. You remember how our Lord, who is the true Michael, the only great archangel, said at the beginning of the preaching of the gospel, “I beheld Satan as lightning...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
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. This was done in the olden time as a matter of fact. It is done continually, spiritually, as Christ is lifted up, and his gospel gets the victory.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren its cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. Always at it! this prince of evil pretending to goodness, and daring to bring accusations against the Holy One of...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time....
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child. He had changed his place, but he did not change his nature; and so he still perseveres in his attack upon God.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and halt a time, from the face of the serpent. And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood. Read history...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and wallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth. It is poor help that the earth can give, and yet God has over-ruled to make it useful. The kings and the powers of this world have for their own reasons sometimes protected the church. It was so in Luther’s day. The...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have testimony of Jesus Christ. “And the dragon was wroth with the woman.” If ever you meet with a church of God which the devil likes, it is good for nothing; but if it is a true church of God, if it holds the truth,...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb — John always writes of Jesus as the “Lamb.” His Lord is to him in his sacrificial character always “the Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world” by the shedding of his blood. “I looked, and, lo, a Lamb” — Rev_14:1. Stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, Jesus is not dead, he still lives. He is not defeated: “a Lamb stood on the mount Sion.” He is not disturbed or troubled, but he stands in the posture of quiet confidence. “A Lamb stood on the mount Sion;” Jesus is not driven out of his Church, but he is still dwelling in the midst of his...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Zion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father’s name written on their foreheads. The great question for us is, — shall we be among the number? If we have the Father’s name engraved upon our hearts, we may conclude that we shall, one day, have it written in our foreheads,...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps: It was very loud, but very sweet. It is not easy in earthly music to blend the two: but in heaven, all the energies of living men shall be thrown into the song; and yet it shall be sweet as...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and so the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps: As loud as thunder, and yet as musical as the choicest notes from a band of harps, — such is the testimony of the saints, such is the expression of their exultant joy in their Lord.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps: and they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were...
