You are freed from Wickedness

“I see a flying scroll, thirty feet long and fifteen feet wide.”

And he said to me, “This is the curse that is going out over the whole

land;

4 The Lord Almighty declares, ‘I will send it out, and it will enter

the house of the thief and the house of him who swears falsely by

my name. It will remain in his house and destroy it, both its timbers and its

stones.’ ”

The 7th Vision5 Then the angel who was speaking to

me came forward and said to me, “Look up and see what this is that is

appearing.” 6 I asked, “What is it?”

He replied, “It is a measuring basket.” And he added, “This is the iniquity of the

people throughout the land.” 7 Then the cover of lead was raised, and there in the basket sat a woman! 8 He

said, “This is wickedness,” and he pushed her back into the basket and pushed the lead cover down over its

mouth.

II All evil will be isolated and destroyed in

His time
