1. What important decision must everyone make?
Today everyone must make an important decision: support Jehovah as the legitimate ruler of the universe or support Satan, the enemy of God?.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
They must make the decision whether to support Jehovah as the legitimate ruler of the universe or to side with Satan, and it is very important because this decision depends on whether they will live or not.
They must make the decision of who they are going to serve yes to Jehovah and his government or to support satan and his world and if we choose to serve Jehovah we must remain loyal until the great tribulation comes or until the end of our days.
A very important decision: will you support Jehovah as the rightful ruler of the universe, or will you side with Satan, God's wicked enemy? You can't be neutral on this. Getting eternal life depends on that decision. During “the great tribulation,” faithful servants of Jehovah will be marked for survival.
2. a) What does Hebrews 10:35-39 encourage us to do?
If you have sided with Jehovah's government, you have made the right decision. Hebrews 10:35-39 encourages us to help others do the same.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
To be determined to loyally serve God and the Kingdom to the end, instead of shrinking back.
As we see the text of Hebrews, it encourages us to endure even when we have to go through difficulties, we must remain faithful since our courage will be rewarded.
These verses help us, if we have already sided with Jehovah and his government, we must endure, not lose courage and continue forward because there is very little time left and only then will we preserve life.
(b) How does the book of Revelation help us?
This book tells us what happens to those who oppose Jehovah. We can use what we learn to encourage others to make good decisions, instead of holding us back.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
We can use what we have learned to encourage others to make the right decision and not back down.
The book of apocalypse helps us a lot, because it encourages us to be more determined in serving God, since it makes both scenarios clear to us, since on the one hand it explains what will happen to those who oppose Jehovah and on the other it gives us know the blessings that those who are on your side will enjoy.
As we have seen in these studies, the book of Revelation has shown us what is going to happen to Jehovah's enemies and it also teaches us what is going to happen to those who are on Jehovah's side and this is useful because it helps us to have more strength and be determined to continue serving him.
3. What questions will we answer in this article?
In this article we will answer these questions: What awaits those who support the government of God? And what about those who choose to support the beast mentioned in the Book of Revelation?
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
We will answer the following questions: What awaits those who support God's government? And what will happen to those who decide to support the scarlet red wild beast mentioned in the book of Revelation?
These questions will be answered: What awaits those who support the government of God? And what will happen to those who decide to support the scarlet red wild beast mentioned in the book of Revelation?

WHAT AWAITS THOSE WHO ARE FAITHFUL
4. What group does the apostle John see together with Jesus in heaven?
In his vision he saw two groups in favor of Jehovah's government. The first group consisted of 144,000 people. They came from earth and went to heaven to form a government with Jesus.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
See the group of 144,000 anointed Christians, whose mission is to go to heaven to form with Jesus a kingdom, which will rule over the earth.
Go to the group of people who have been chosen from the earth to go rule with Jesus. This group is the 144,000.
The first group is made up of 144,000 individuals. They are from Earth, and they go to heaven to form, together with Jesus, a government or Kingdom. All together they reign over the Earth.
5. What will soon happen to the remaining anointed Christians on earth?
Before the Apocalypse begins, these "remaining" anointed Christians receive the final "seal," which is Jehovah's final approval. And at some point in the apocalypse, these remnants will be taken to heaven with the other 144,000 who died faithful and are already there.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
Since it is a group that has been chosen for a long time and the few that remain when the great tribulation comes will be taken to be with the rest in heaven.
According to what Revelation says, during the last days, only a remnant of this group would remain alive on earth, then before the great tribulation begins they will receive the final approval of Jehovah, after this they will be taken to heaven to be with the rest of the group of 144,000.
From the time of the apostles to the present day, thousands of people have been selected to be part of the 144,000. But Juan is told that during the last days only a remnant, or a small part, of that group would be left alive on Earth. Before the great tribulation begins, these “remaining” anointed Christians will receive the ultimate “seal,” that is, Jehovah's final approval.
6, 7. (a) What group does John next see, and what do we know about them?
This second group cannot be counted. What do we know about them? John: “They are those who come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their long robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.”
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
John sees a second group which, unlike the 144,000, does not mention a specific number and these are said to have survived the great tribulation and were to live on earth and enjoy the blessings of Jehovah.
After seeing the group in heaven, John sees "a great crowd." Unlike the 144,000, this second group cannot be counted. What do we know about them? John was told: “They are the ones who come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their long robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.”
Go to the group of the great crowd, and Revelation 7:14 says that these are the ones that come out of the great tribulation, and that the sins of these have been forgiven of these have been forgiven by the blood of christ, for which after surviving the great tribulation will live on earth and enjoy many blessings.
(b) Why should the remnant of anointed Christians and the “great crowd” be interested in Revelation chapter 7?
As explained in Chapter 7 of Revelation, we all need to see ourselves "in the picture." It will be a very exciting time for these two groups of God's servants!
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
It should interest you because in chapter 7 of Revelation it is mentioned what will be the blessings that both groups will receive, so just by reading it we will feel happy to choose to support the government of God.
We should all see ourselves “in the picture” described in Revelation chapter 7, right? It will be a very exciting time for these two groups of God's servants! We will be very, very glad that we decided to support Jehovah's government.
Because everything that is described in this chapter concerns both groups because at that moment it will be possible to verify that both made the correct decision since they will receive their reward for their loyalty.
WHAT AWAITS THOSE WHO OPPOSE GOD
8. How will the Apocalypse begin, and what will be the reaction of most people?
The political organizations of this world will soon attack Babylon the Great. The great tribulation begins with that attack. Those who do not serve Jehovah will seek protection from the political and commercial systems of this world.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
Those who do not serve Jehovah will seek protection in the political and commercial systems of this world, which in this chapter of the Bible are compared to mountains. Since these people will not take the side of God's Kingdom, Jehovah will regard them as his enemies.
It will start with the political organizations of this world attacking Babylon the Great, that is, the set of false religions, and the reaction of most people will be that instead of looking to Jehovah they will look to the political and commercial system for protection. from this world.
The great tribulation will begin with the destruction of false religion at the hands of political organizations and after destroying Babylon the great, which is the World Empire of false religion, people will now seek protection in the political and commercial system of this world as well they will become enemies of God since they did not seek protection from him.
9. Why will Jehovah's people draw much attention during the great tribulation, and what will be the result?
They would draw a lot of attention because they would be the only ones who will continue to serve Jehovah and they will become the only group on earth that refuses to support the "Beast". Those who oppose Jehovah will be furious. As a result, coalitions or groups attack God's people all over the world.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
They will be the only group on earth that continue to serve Jehovah and refuse to support “the wild beast.” Seeing them so firm, those who oppose Jehovah will be furious. As a result, a coalition or group of nations will attack God's people throughout the Earth.
Because they will be the only group on earth that continue to serve Jehovah and refuse to give their support to the wild beast, therefore, the result will be that Jehovah's enemies will be enraged, thus a group of nations will attack Jehovah's people .
It will attract a lot of attention because all the people will be supporting the Wild Beast while the servants of God were the only ones who refused to give their support, this will make them go against the people of Jehovah to attack them and exterminate them.
10. According to Revelation 19:19-21, what will Jehovah's reaction be when his people are attacked?
Jehovah will send his Son to defend his people and defeat their enemies. And Jesus will not be alone; “the armies of heaven” will accompany him, that is, the faithful angels together with the 144,000.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
He himself tells us: "My great fury will be unleashed." Revelation chapter 19 explains what will happen next. Jehovah will send his Son to defend his people and defeat his enemies. And Jesus will not be alone; “the armies of heaven” will accompany him, that is, the faithful angels together with the 144,000.
The Bible says that his fury will stand out, that is why he will send his son to defend his people and defeat their enemies, which will be accompanied by the armies of heaven, and this war will end in the total destruction of all people and organizations that oppose Jehovah.
As Ezekiel says in chapter 38, verse 18, they will unleash the fury of Jehovah so he will send his son to defend his people who will come with an army of angels and the 144,000 which will end in a total destruction of Jehovah's enemies.
AFTER THE WAR, A WEDDING IS HELD
11. What is the most exciting event in the book of Revelation?
"The Marriage of the Lamb" is the most exciting event of the apocalypse.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
In fact, it is the most exciting event in the book of Revelation: “the marriage of the Lamb”.
The most important event is the one recorded in Revelation 19: 6,9 which is the wedding of the lamb.
After the tribulation, everyone will be happy with Jehovah's great victory, but that will not be the most important event since Revelation chapter 19 from verses 6 to 9 speaks of an event that is much more important, which is the wedding of the lamb.
12. When will the marriage of the Lamb take place? (Revelation 21:1, 2).
The wedding takes place after the War of Armageddon when all enemies of God are eliminated.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
It will be celebrated when all the enemies of God have been eliminated, that is, after the war of Armageddon.
The wedding of the lamb will be celebrated when the enemies of Jehovah have been eliminated, that is, after the war of Armageddon.
Although all 144,000 will be in heaven just before Armageddon begins, that will not be the time to celebrate the wedding of the Lamb. The wedding will take place after the war of Armageddon, when all the enemies of God have been eliminated.
13. What meaning does the marriage of the Lamb have for those who participate in it?
In this exciting event, Jesus and the 144,000 will begin to reign together on earth for 1,000 years.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
Well, in this symbolic wedding, Jesus Christ and his bride, who are the 144,000, will join together, so they will begin to reign together on earth for 1,000 years.
In this symbolic wedding, the King, Jesus Christ, and his “bride”, the 144,000, join together. With this exciting event, Jesus and the 144,000 will begin to reign together on Earth for 1,000 years.
It has great importance for those who participate in it since they will be involved in this wedding, Jesus Christ and the bride who make up the 144,000 will be united and will begin to rule over the earth.
A SPLENDID CITY AND OUR FUTURE
14, 15. To what is the 144,000 in Revelation 21 compared? (See cover drawing.)
The 144,000 are compared to a beautiful city called "the New Jerusalem."
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
It is compared to a precious city called the New Jerusalem, and this symbolic city has 12 stones as its foundations and on them the 12 names of the apostles are written, its main street is made of pure gold, its 12 doors are 12 pearls, and all of it it is adorned with precious stones and has the shape of a cube as we see in the illustration, it also does not have a temple because Jehovah and Jesus are the temple of the city.
They are compared as a city but a precious city in which its foundation or foundation is 12 stones in which the 12 apostles are written. And this city is precious because it is mentioned that its street is made of gold, it also has 12 doors which are made of pearls and that the walls are adorned with precious stones and just like the old city of Jerusalem that had its temple, now this new city has as temple to Jehovah which illuminates it through the lamb which is Jesus.
The 144,000 are compared to a beautiful city called "the New Jerusalem." This symbolic city is unlike any other. Its main street is pure gold, its 12 gates are 12 pearls, the wall and foundations are adorned with precious stones, and it has the shape of a perfect cube. The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, because the glory of God illuminates it and its lamp is the Lamb”. Those who are part of the New Jerusalem will have direct access to Jehovah. That is why Jehovah and Jesus are said to be the temple of the city.
16. What blessings will mankind enjoy during the Thousand Year Reign of God's Kingdom?
John sees that these blessings flow like a "river of water of life" and that on both banks there is a "tree of life" that produces leaves that "heal all nations." And those who are obedient will gradually reach perfection.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
You will enjoy many blessings, for example, little by little you will reach perfection, and also there will be no more diseases, pain or tears.
They will enjoy many blessings, since as the Apocalypse says from this city a river of water will flow that gives life wherever it passes, this means that the people who live on earth now will not die and will be free from diseases of pain and sadness.
During the Thousand Year Reign of the Kingdom of God, the New Jerusalem will pour out countless blessings on Earth. John sees that these blessings flow like "a river of water of life" and that on both banks there are "trees of life" that produce leaves "to heal the nations." All human beings living at that time will have the opportunity to enjoy all these gifts.
ILLUSTRATION:
The symbolic city called the New Jerusalem comes down from heaven and shines. A river flows from that city. On both banks of the river there are trees that bear fruit.
Revelation chapter 21 says that the New Jerusalem comes down “out of heaven, from where God is.” During the Thousand Year Reign, this symbolic city will shower countless blessings on obedient human beings. (See paragraphs 14 to 16).
17. Who will enjoy the blessings of the Thousand Year Reign? (Revelation 20:11-13).
A great multitude surviving Armageddon and children born into a new world. Revelation chapter 20 promises that the dead will live.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
First of all, the great crowd that will survive Armageddon and the children that will be born in the new world. But are not the only ones. Revelation chapter 20 promises that the dead will be raised.
Those who will enjoy are the great crowd who survive Armageddon, the children born during that time, the faithful servants of the past who are considered righteous, and the people who did not have the opportunity to know Jehovah.
It will be enjoyed by the great crowd that will survive Armageddon and the babies that will be born in the new world, and also by the righteous and the unrighteous who will be resurrected, that is, the people who died faithful to Jehovah and who did not have the opportunity to know the truth.
ILLUSTRATION:
A group of people enjoy life in Paradise. In the background is a river flowing from the symbolic city called the New Jerusalem. On both banks of the river there are leafy trees.
Who will receive the blessings represented by “a river” and by “trees”? (See paragraphs 16 and 17).
THE END
18. In what situation will humanity be at the end of the 1,000 years?
At the end of 1,000 years, everyone on earth will attain perfection. Nobody will suffer the effects of the sin that Adam left us as an inheritance.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
At the end of the thousand years all will have reached perfection and will no longer suffer the effects of Adam's sin.
It can be said that, at the end of the 1,000 years, the inhabitants of the Earth will come to life because they will be perfect human beings.
At the end of the 1,000 years, humanity will have reached perfection, so there will be no trace of the curse of Adam's sin.
19. Why will a final test be necessary?
When Satan was released from the abyss after 1,000 years, each of them would have to answer a question. Those who are loyal in the final test will receive eternal life and finally enjoy true freedom.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
It will be necessary because it will be seen if we can remain faithful despite all the traps of Satan, and if this way we will receive eternal life and finally enjoy true freedom.
A final test is necessary because the fact that humans are perfect does not guarantee that they are loyal to Jehovah, that is why the Bible mentions that there will also be perfect people at the end of the thousand years who turn their backs on Jehovah.
Each of them will have to answer this question when the 1,000 years are over and Satan is released from the abyss. Those who are faithful during the final test will receive eternal life and will finally enjoy true freedom. But those who rebel will be destroyed forever, just like the Devil and his demons.
20. How do you feel after analyzing the exciting prophecies of Revelation?
After looking at these exciting future events, we are excited and would like to say what the apostle John said: “Amen! Come, Lord Jesus."
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
After discussing these exciting future events, we are sure to be filled with excitement and want to say what the apostle John said: “Amen! Come, Lord Jesus."
How it says at the end of the paragraph fills us with enthusiasm and we want to continue showing our loyalty to Jehovah because we know what awaits his faithful servants shortly.
I personally am excited and want to experience the fulfillment of these exciting prophecies, and what's more I want to invite as many people as I can to join Jehovah's people.
WHAT WOULD YOU ANSWER?
What decision must we make now?
Everyone has a very important decision to make: will they support Jehovah as the rightful ruler of the universe, or will they side with Satan, God's wicked enemy?
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
We must make the decision whether we serve Jehovah and his government or we serve Satan and his world.
We must make the important decision of whether we will support Jehovah as the legitimate ruler of the universe or we will side with Satan, and this decision is very important since it depends on whether we will live or not.
A very important decision: will you support Jehovah as the rightful ruler of the universe, or will you side with Satan, God's wicked enemy? You can't be neutral on this. Getting eternal life depends on that decision.
