|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;

PARABENIZAÇÃO SÁBIA
Provérbios 20-24
Você tem acompanhado o nosso programa de ler a Bíblia inteira em um ano? Conhece esse plano, não conhece? Lemos um pouquinho a cada dia. Isso não pesa para ninguém. E aí, chegando no finalzinho de dezembro, também chegaremos no final de Apocalipse. A maior vantagem é ter a companhia de Deus, todos os dias, através da Sua palavra na nossa vida.
Você já fez sua leitura bíblica hoje? Se sim, sabe da preciosidade do que estou falando, principalmente nesses dias que nós estamos lendo o livro de provérbios. Se ainda não leu a Bíblia, não termine seu dia sem ter um encontro especial com Deus através da Sua Palavra. Ao estudar Provérbios, você se sentirá como alguém que achou um grande tesouro!
Esse livro é uma obra escrita por Salomão, filho de Davi. É um livro de sabedoria prática, pois ensina que a religião está diretamente ligada aos problemas comuns da vida. Afinal de contas, religião teórica, que fica só no campo das ideias, do discurso, do blá-blá-blá, não adianta nada. Provérbios começa lembrando, como diz a Nova Tradução na Linguagem de Hoje, que “para ser sábio, é preciso primeiro temer ao Deus Eterno”. Mas, saindo da teoria, Provérbios também trata de assuntos de moral, bom senso e boas maneiras; coisas práticas da vida, necessárias para qualquer um de nós.
Mas tem mais... Os provérbios revelam a sabedoria dos antigos mestres sobre o que a pessoa sábia deve fazer em certas situações comuns da vida, bem como em situações complicadas. Por exemplo, há provérbios que falam sobre as relações de família; outros são sobre o comportamento nos negócios. Alguns tratam de boa educação nas relações sociais; outros falam acerca da necessidade da pessoa saber se controlar. Tudo isso vai se somando numa cartilha de vida bem interessante.
Resumindo, os provérbios, entre outras coisas, ensinam a humildade, a paciência, o respeito pelos pobres, a lealdade para com os amigos e o temor do Pai Celestial. Quem não é sábio, com certeza, não vai querer ler o livro de Provérbios. E o que quiser se tornar sábio, com certeza não deixará de lê-lo. Ou seja, Provérbios é um ponto de encontro dos sábios: uns mais sábios e outros menos iniciados na sabedoria. Mas o ponto é que se você se interessa em fazer a leitura bíblica destes dias, só de demonstrar esse interesse já faz parte do clube dos sábios. Quer sair desse clube? Não se importe em fazer a leitura bíblica desse nosso projeto. Mas sei que você é alguém que busca pela sabedoria. Então, parabéns por ser sábio. Parabéns por ler esse livro maravilhoso de Provérbios!
