Daily Devotional With Murphy Eyenike

We conclude our study of Revelation 17 today by unraveling who the prostitute at the beginning really is. We saw from the chapter yesterday, a description of the great prostitute; her name - Babylon the Great. We also saw her riding on a scarlet beast and we said that beast is the antichrist and she riding on him means they are seen rising into power together. Today we add the fact that she, meani...

Revelation chapter 17 gives us the description of the great prostitute; who she is, as in, her name and where she resides. She is seen here riding on the scarlet beast as he rises to power. We know the beast, is the antichrist and we know he will eventually rise to power. So we now have another information of how he going to do it, he is going to use the influence of this prostitute over the kings...

In Revelation 16, we see the outpouring of the 7 bowls judgment on the people still living through this period. We note specifically that only the first bowl judgement distinguishes between those who have taken the mark of the beast and worshipped its image, as compared to others. These judgments will all come in rapid succession and will probably take place during the last months of the 7 years o...

Revelation chapter 15 shows us a magnificent event of a multitude standing before God's throne in heaven, they had come through the great tribulation and had been victorious over the beast, his statue or image and over the number representing his name. By victorious, I mean they died in the great tribulation, this multitude were willing to give up this life to spend all of eternity with Christ. It...

Revelation chapter 14 gives us several proleptic events that occur at the end of the ages. Yesterday, we saw three angels go forth declaring 3 proleptic events that were soon to occur. The last part of the chapter talks about the harvest of the Earth. The harvest is in two fold; there would be a first harvest by Christ himself and a second harvest into the great winepress of God's wrath; "Then I s...

In today's devotional, I take out time to answer some of the questions I have received on our study of the book of Revelation so far. We also take a look at the three proleptic messages that the whole world is given by three angels before the blowing of the 7th trumpet. One of the confusion most people have about the antichrist is failing to understand that there is clear difference between the sp...

In the second part of Revelation 13, we see another beast emerge this time from the earth. This beast exercised all the authority of the first beast and is a worker of miracles. This is the false prophet who will use the instrument of religion to deceive the whole world. And just as Christ gave power and authority to his disciples to act on his behalf and represent him, the first beast, the antich...

Revelations chapter 13 shows us two beasts; one rising up out of the sea and another comes up out of the earth. Today, we stay with the first beast. As we look at its description, we begin to realise that this beast looks a lot like a combination of the 4 beasts the prophet Daniel saw in his vision in Daniel chapter 7. This is not a coincidence. In Daniel's vision, he see 4 beast representing 4 ki...

Revelation chapter 12 gives us the understanding that the endtime, just as God showed and told the prophet Daniel earlier, was going to be focused on the nation of Israel; Israel is the woman clothed with the sun, with the moon beneath her feet, and a crown of twelve stars on her head. We get this understanding from Genesis 37:9-11. Satan, the red dragon and his system of government comprising var...

Revelation chapter 11 reveals events that helps us with pinpoint accuracy determine when in the tribulation we are. During the 7 years of tribulation, and specifically during the first three and a half years, the temple in Jerusalem will be rebuilt. It is going to be part of why Israel, beside their best judgments, will enter into a covenant with the man of peace, the antichrist. Sadly, it is in t...

Revelation 10 is part of the preamble before the seventh trumpet is blown heralding the 7 bowl judgments. The mighty angel here also tells us that when that happens, God's mysterious plan would be fulfilled. The apostle Paul actually already told us about this plan; "God has now revealed to us his mysterious will regarding Christ—which is to fulfill his own good plan. And this is the plan: At the...

Revelation chapter 9 talks about the blowing of the fifth and sixth trumpets. The fifth trumpet unleashes a horde of demonic spirit that will torment and possess those who do not have God's seal on their heads or have not accepted Christ; "Then the fifth angel blew his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen to earth from the sky, and he was given the key to the shaft of the bottomless pit. When...

Revelation chapter 8 ushers in the next 14 judgements divided into 7 trumpets and 7 vials judgements. Revelation 8 also begins the period of the Great tribulation, tribulation such as Jesus spoke about in Matthew 24:15-20. “The day is coming when you will see what Daniel the prophet spoke about—the sacrilegious object that causes desecration standing in the Holy Place.” (Reader, pay attention!) “T...

Those who miss the rapture will have to come through the period of tribulations and great tribulations literally fighting through on their own. There will be bloodshed and violence like you have never seen before for the son of perdition will fully reveal himself. "After this I saw a vast crowd, too great to count, from every nation and tribe and people and language, standing in front of the thron...

Daniel concludes his vision with a war between the king of the North, Syria, and the king of the South, Egypt. This battles rages for more than 150 years but comes to an head with the appearance of a man who is not just a type of the antichrist, he fulfills every single prophecy and act the antichrist was supposed to undertake against the nation of Israel, his name; Antiochus Epiphanes. A king of...

Our study today continues to give us an understanding of where the antichrist is going to come from, since he appears with the breaking of the first seal in Revelation chapter 6, we want to be able to understand when the breaking of these seals start. “After this period of sixty-two sets of seven, the Anointed One will be killed, appearing to have accomplished nothing, and a ruler will arise whose...

Today's study of Revelation chapter 6; specifically understanding who was the rider of the white horse that emerges when the first seal is broken leads us to do an overview of the book of Daniel and the implications of the visions there. Nebuchadnezzer had 2 visions that Dniel interpreted. Daniel also interpreted the handwriting on the wall during Belshazzar's reign. However, Daniel personally als...

"As I watched, the Lamb broke the first of the seven seals on the scroll. Then I heard one of the four living beings say with a voice like thunder, “Come!” I looked up and saw a white horse standing there. Its rider carried a bow, and a crown was placed on his head. He rode out to win many battles and gain the victory. " Revelation 6:1‭-‬2 NLT. Revelation chapter 6 starts with the breaking of the...

Whenever I read Revelation chapter 5, I am awed at the magnitude of what Jesus accomplished by his death. I often aske; what if the devil qualified to open the scroll when that powerful angel made the open declaration inviting anyone who could to step forward? Thank God only Jesus qualified to. "And they sang a new song with these words: “You are worthy to take the scroll and break its seals and o...

"You are worthy, O Lord our God, to receive glory and honor and power. For you created all things, and they exist because you created what you pleased.” Revelation 4:11 NLT. Can't find the right words to worship God, Revelation 4:11 is for you. I am not only glad that God created me to worship him but that he was pleased when he did. Revelation chapter 4 is focused on the worship of God the Father...

3 more letters are sent to the 3 remaining churches; Sardis, Philadelphia and Laodicea. The church in Sardis is the church we call the dead church. They became dead because they just wanted to get along with everyone else and the world. This is the church that doesn't want to step on toes, Jesus tells them; "Wake up! Strengthen what little remains, for even what is left is almost dead. I find that...

In today's devotional, Jesus sends a message to 2 more churches; Pergamum and Thyatira. Again, his messages starts with those jarring words; "I KNOW". Ephesus - I know all the things you do, Smyrna - I know about your suffering and your poverty. To Pergamum and Thyatira he says; Pergamum - I know where you live. Thyatira - I know all the things you do. What will Jesus say he knows about you? As fo...

In today's devotional, we take a look at the letters Jesus writes to the first 2 churches; Ephesus and Smyrna. We notice that to all the churches, Jesus first acknowledges what they were doing right, he then points out what they need to correct and ends it with a motivation on the reward they stood to receive if they persevered. To the Ephesian church, he commends their strengths; they were hard w...

"It was the Lord’s Day, and I was worshiping in the Spirit. Suddenly, I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet blast. It said, “Write in a book everything you see, and send it to the seven churches in the cities of Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea.” Revelation 1:10‭-‬11 NLT . In chapter one we see Jesus sending this message to the 7 churches. The 7 churc...
