|Apocalipse 17:3|
Then the angel carried me away in the Spirit into a desert. There I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was covered with blasphemous names and had seven heads and ten horns. 66:17:4 The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and was glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls. She held a golden cup in her hand, filled with abominable things and the filth of her adulteries. 66:17:5 This title was written on her forehead: MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREAT THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. 66:17:6 I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of the saints, the blood of those who bore testimony to Jesus. When I saw her, I was greatly astonished. 66:17:7 Then the angel said to me: “Why are you astonished? I will explain to you the mystery of the woman and of the beast she rides, which has the seven heads and ten horns. 66:17:8 The beast, which you saw, once was, now is not, and will come up out of the Abyss and go to his destruction. The inhabitants of the earth whose names have not been written in the book of life from the creation of the world will be astonished when they see the beast, because he once was, now is not, and yet will come. 66:17:9 “This calls for a mind with wisdom. The seven heads are seven hills on which the woman sits. 66:17:10 They are also seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come; but when he does come, he must remain for a little while. 66:17:11 The beast who once was, and now is not, is an eighth king. He belongs to the seven and is going to his destruction. 66:17:12 “The ten horns you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but who for one hour will receive authority as kings along with the beast.

|Apocalipse 17:13|
They have one purpose and will give their power and authority to the beast. 66:17:14 They will make war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will overcome them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings — and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers.” 66:17:15 Then the angel said to me, “The waters you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations and languages. 66:17:16 The beast and the ten horns you saw will hate the prostitute. They will bring her to ruin and leave her naked; they will eat her flesh and burn her with fire. 66:17:17 For God has put it into their hearts to accomplish his purpose by agreeing to give the beast their power to rule, until God’s words are fulfilled. 66:17:18 The woman you saw is the great city that rules over the kings of the earth.” 66:18:1 After this I saw another angel coming down from heaven. He had great authority, and the earth was illuminated by his splendour. 66:18:2 With a mighty voice he shouted: “Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great! She has become a home for demons and a haunt for every evil [Greek: unclean] spirit, a haunt for every unclean and detestable bird. 66:18:3 For all the nations have drunk the maddening wine of her adulteries. The kings of the earth committed adultery with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from her excessive luxuries.” 66:18:4 Then I heard another voice from heaven say: “Come out of her, my people, so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues;

ESCOLINHA DE JESUS
Mateus 11-13
Um dos melhores livros que li no último ano da faculdade foi “A Pedagogia de Jesus”, de J.M. Price, - JUERP. Quando fui professor, precisei reler este livro. Anteriormente publicado sob o título “Jesus, o Mestre por Excelência”, esse livro é a resultante da vida de trabalho do professor Price: aulas de ensino religioso no Seminário do Sudoeste (EUA), palestras feitas para professores de escolas bíblicas denominacionais, reuniões de congressos e de convenções regionais de classes bíblicas e cursos intensivos. É claro que não trata-se de um livro que pretende ser uma apresentação exaustiva ou erudita de Jesus como mestre. O objetivo dele é extrair da vida e dos ensinos de Jesus aquelas verdades que possam dar aos professores melhor visão e maior estímulo em sua gloriosa tarefa de ensinar.
Penso que nosso estudo deve partir do sentimento de que os professores cristãos (e aqui incluo qualquer pessoa, que em qualquer nível e contexto, ensine algo da Bíblia a outro) são hoje efetivamente a maior força para o ensino e a prática do bem. Ensinar os conceitos bíblicos não é fácil. Os professores de Ensino Religioso sabem muito bem disso. Eles, que laboram sob dificuldades e desencorajamentos mui fortes, para o bendito labor em que estão empenhados, precisam muito - e muito - de inspiração e de maior preparo. Mas qualquer de qualquer cristão espera-se o testemunho. E no testemunho eficaz estão subtendidos o ensino e o aprendizado.
E então, como ser um “ensinador” cristão? Sendo alguém que ensina como Cristo. E como era o ensino de Jesus? Sem teorizações, abra sua Bíblia em Mateus 11-13 e veja, na prática, o que rola na sala de aulas do Grande Mestre. “Quando acabou de instruir...”. O texto já começa assim. Jesus gastou dois terços do seu tempo ministerial ensinando. Ele gostava disso, e, com isso, influenciava. Este deve ter sido o motivo que levou João Batista, o seu primo, e professor precursor, a fazer uma pergunta para Jesus. Ele queria aprender de Jesus. Isto não diz nada a você? Claro que sim, não é mesmo? Então, venha curtir os ensinos do Messias, comigo.
Ele lamenta pelas cidades que não se arrependem dos seus pecados, e diz o porquê. Ele deixa claro sobre como é que os cansados podem encontrar repouso. Ensina também sobre porquê devemos guardar o sábado. Instrui sobre o servo escolhido de Deus, depois, da acusação que fazem contra Ele, deixa mais instruções ainda, como por exemplo sobre o sinal de Jonas. Por fim, deixa claro sobre quem são sua mãe e irmãos e conta sete parábolas.
Quer aprender tudo isto? Você já sabe como.
