From Wormwood to Redemption: A Study Guide on the Spiritual Battle and the Call to Truth
Introduction:
The Call to Awareness
Humanity is at a pivotal juncture, teetering between spiritual enlightenment and eternal deception. As foretold in Revelation, a star named Wormwood will fall from the heavens, setting off a chain of events that will reshape the spiritual and physical realms. This prophetic event will unseal the dungeon where beasts, chained since the Great Battle, will be released to torment those who rejected the truth of God’s Word. These beasts target those who remained apathetic toward their Creator, choosing worldly lies over divine truth.
This guide explores the spiritual significance of this prophecy, the choices that lead to salvation or destruction, and how the Bible’s teachings equip us to discern truth, resist deception, and embrace the transformative power of Christ. Drawing from the New Testament, we will delve into the consequences of our choices and the urgency of aligning with God’s plan.
Section 1:
The Prophecy of Wormwood
Revelation 8:10-11 states:
"The third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water—the name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters turned bitter, and many people died from the waters that had become bitter."
This passage signifies not just a physical calamity but a spiritual reckoning. The name “Wormwood” symbolizes bitterness, a consequence of humanity’s rejection of God. Its impact will open the abyss where the beasts, as described in Revelation 9:1-11, have been imprisoned. These creatures will sting and torment those who refused to seek the truth of God’s Word, serving as both judgment and a call to repentance.
Section 2:
The Root of Deception
Ephesians 6:12 reminds us:
"For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms."
From birth, we have been surrounded by lies designed to keep us from discovering the truth of God’s Word. The enemy’s whispers—whether through societal norms, media, or internal doubts—seek to distort our perception of reality. The mind, influenced by the flesh, often resists spiritual truth, prioritizing worldly logic and comfort over divine revelation.
Section 3:
The Role of the Holy Spirit
When Jesus ascended to heaven, He left us the Holy Spirit, a guide and helper to lead us into all truth.
John 14:26 says:
"But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you."
Activation by the Holy Spirit occurs when we open our hearts to God’s Word. This process begins with curiosity, grows into conviction, and culminates in transformation. Without this activation, the spiritual truths of the Bible may seem foolish or irrelevant,
As stated in 1 Corinthians 2:14:
"The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit."
Section 4:
The Choices Before Us
LISTEN, THINK ABOUT IT,WHEN YOU HEAR THOUGHTS RACE IN BEFORE YOU ARE EVEN DONE LISTENING OR READING A PASSAGE,
WHO OR WHAT IS THAT? "IT'S NOT YOU"
WE HAVE ALL BEEN INFILTRATED FROM BIRTH, PERSUADED BY NEGATIVITY!
have you ever asked yourself, "why does my mind always get bombarded with negativity?
when you want truth or positivity, you actually have to seek it out?
Ladies & Gents, "Get it Together Baby!"
You owe it to yourself, to do your own due-diligence & see for yourself!!!
Now if this doesn't convince you, then just stop reading and move on to what keeps you distracted.
O.K.
While you have been reading or listening, "how many times has negative thoughts raced through your mind like;
We Don't Have Time 4 This - Come On U Really Thinking About This - I'm Busy Come Back 2 This - and sewon.
This right here should alarm you, this happens every time you get close to what's TRUE!
For the flesh is fearful because once you learn the truth, "you will stop serving the flesh"
Which is: Indulging in one or more of the 17 desires of the FLESH.
You will put the flesh down & in its place and start listening to yourself, which is
your spirit or soul.
The negative thoughts that come with the 17 desires, that compel you to do it more or in a way to hurt yourself or others, this comes from all of these entities that dwell right beside us, in the realm beyond the veil.
If you allow these thoughts to convince you not to take action, "you know they are sitting there laughing at you whispering to each other, how easily you were persuaded, calling you names.
Do yourself and your loved ones a favor, stop being lazy, "do your own research if you have to" and once you see. Start implementing by "just reading the word of God"
The New Testament, Soon your heart will follow, next you will be activated.
⚖️Before you read, Say out loud, "Jesus if your real, please show me in some way, please open my eyes and my heart to see you and all that has been done in my life. I will read for 30 minutes,🫨 Please help me see and understand you, so that I may share the good news in faith and because you have touched me.
I want to see and understand and ultimately, "Be Activated" ⚖️
Each of us faces a critical decision:
- Seek Truth: Embrace the Word of God, allowing it to renew your mind and awaken your spirit. Accept Christ as your Savior, invite the Holy Spirit into your life, and embark on a journey of spiritual growth.
- Romans 12:2: "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will."
- Reject Truth: Ignore the call to salvation, dismiss the Bible as outdated or irrelevant, and continue to live according to worldly values. This choice leads to spiritual blindness and eternal separation from God.
- 2 Thessalonians 2:10-11: "They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie."
Section 5: The Consequences
For Those Who Embrace Truth:
- A life of purpose, guided by the Holy Spirit.
- Assurance of salvation and eternal life with God.
- Strength to resist deception and endure trials.
For Those Who Reject Truth:
- Spiritual torment as prophesied in Revelation.
- A life led by worldly values, resulting in despair and destruction.
- Eternal separation from God, as symbolized by the torment of Wormwood and the beasts.
Conclusion:
The Star and the Beast
The Bible’s warnings are clear: a star will fall, and its name will be Wormwood.
This event will unleash judgment upon those who refused to seek truth.
Yet, this prophecy is also a call to action. Each of us has been given the opportunity to seek God, understand His Word, and align our lives with His will.
The bottom line is this:
Time is limited, and the stakes are eternal.
Will you embrace the truth and find life,
And in doing this,
You Will Obtain "Eternal Life With Those Who Made The Same Choice"
or will you drift further into deception, You will dismiss what you have read here, not because you don't believe, Deep Down, You Know!
You have never seen Hell and you have heard the saying:
"It's Better 2 Rain in Hell Then 2 Serve in Heaven"
You believe this because, your flesh is stronger than your spirit & your used to being bossed around.
The desires of the flesh that you feed, "you love to do these acts" and you don't want to let them go.
This is called, "Being a slave to the Flesh"
There's No Sugar Coating This!!
When the Grim Reaper AKA "Death" seeks you out,
Know this, what you have experienced here on Earth was just for a short season.
Now you will come to understand the true meaning of
"Being Alone" "Pain" "Humiliated"
There is no blood in Hell, because "life is in the blood"
all there is, "is the flesh and the smell of sulfer & rotting flesh"
No arms, No legs, No eyes, No Mouth, No ears, No Hair,
just your torso and head, sling shotted into the void,
there your own thoughts will be your torment, while the demons pick the flesh
from your bones. Once the flesh is all gone, you will reanimate but with no blood.
For the process to happen again.
Tell Me, Do You Really Want 2 Play Around With Something Like Your "Soul"
and Eternal Death.
You Should Seek Out Truth, Quickly Because:
The Lamb Is On Our Doorstep, He is Just Beyond The Horizon
Waiting for his father to give the command,
choosing worldly comforts over spiritual awakening? The choice is yours, but remember—as Wormwood falls and the beasts rise, there will be no neutral ground. You will be out of time, Which means, You will have to endure the beasts of the Abyss
Seek the truth now, while the door to salvation remains open.
Matthew 7:7: "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you."
Remember This, To Those Who Don't Heed The Warning,
Our God Is An Awesome God, A God Who Wants 2 See You With Him,
Which Leads Me 2 This:
He will send an Angel down, He will proclaim the word of God Again, He will give anyone who can hear,
One More Chance 2 "repent of their sins" Except Jesus as Lord, then
You Will Go With Him 2 Heaven.
Now if that isn't Compassion, Love, I don't know what is.
This study guide combines prophecy, scriptural insights, and practical application to provide a comprehensive understanding of the spiritual stakes outlined in Revelation.
