The following are things I have
come to believe after many years of studying Scripture. My advice to you
is to read them over carefully, with a open mind. Then check everything
you read against Scripture, prayerfully with the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
Check Scripture against Scripture. If it checks out, even though it is
not what you have previously been taught or believe, accept it as truth
and discard what you previously believed. Remember, Scripture never contradicts
Scripture.

"Is

Yes,
the
work which lies ahead
of us is to make sure the seed, His
Word,
is no longer
left in the barn! We must take it, and make
sure it gets sown and planted among our brothers and sisters! First,
however, we must make sure we study His Word and know the difference between
that which is holy and that which is profane in order that we can discern
between the clean and the unclean Or
else, how can we teach others?

That, Christ later
revealed to John, the disciple Jesus loved, what will happen in the future.
John
then wrote the book of Revelation, the name of which means to "Disclose",
to "Unveil", to "Reveal", i.e. to make known. The Greek word for "revelation"
is apokalupsi (Strong's #602) which comes from apokalupto (#601)
and
more specifically means to "Take the Cover Off". John wrote these words
that Jesus revealed to him from the isles of Patmos, where he was imprisoned
for teaching the Word of God in approximately 96 A.D. But as we will find
in verse 10 of Revelation chapter 1, John was taken to, and wrote from,
the perspective of the time of the end, and even beyond into the millennium.
The reason John writes, that these things must "shortly come to pass" is
because he is not writing from the perspective of 96 A.D. He was spiritually
taken to the future and wrote from there.

Jesus reveals 'these beasts"
to John in the book of Revelation:
In chapters 2 and 3 Jesus
Christ has something to say to the seven churches which is to to all the
churches of TODAY, not 96 A.D., and some of it isn't very pretty. Remember
we read in chapter one verse three that this is prophecy, it's for today.Again,
John was taken to the future when he writes about our churches in the 2000s.
They are present and accounted for. They are described by that which
they teach and only two of the seven are found to be in good standing.
If
you find you are aligned with one of the other five, then it is time to
switch churches, don't you think? When you

In chapter 6 John,
when taken to heaven in the spirit, was witness to the "unsealing" of the
scroll, the written (vs. 5:1) Word of God, by the only One found worthy
in both heaven and earth, the One who prevailed at Calvary, the Lamb of
God, the Living Word Himself, Jesus the Christ. John
writes what he saw and heard when Jesus broke the seals of the scroll.
Remember,
Jesus' disciples came unto Him in Matthew 24 and Mark 13 and ASKED Him
to REVEAL to them the signs when all these prophecies would come to pass
and He would return to establish His kingdom (the Day of the Lord). The
seals reveal and are signs of what it's to be like just prior to the Lord's
second advent.

Seals have now been removed and each and every one of them was opened
by the Lamb of God Himself. The detail which He gives us sometimes seems
overwhelming, but it is greatly appreciated by those who seek to know all
the things that He has foretold us, and He has foretold
us all things. But not so fast, we haven't seen the seventh seal
yet! Be patient, it's right here in Revelation chapter 8, just ahead of
the Trumpets.
#13. The
first beast has risen continued
In chapter 8 as
John writes his account of Jesus' revelation, the signs have been given,
the angels are ready, everything is set to go with the famous 7 Trumpets
of Revelation. What
are trumpets and how are they used anyway? Well, trumpets
are loud horns and militarily speaking, when the trumpets blow, the troops
begin to move into position to do battle, and then the final charge is
sounded by the final Trump. If you are a student
of God's Word, and if you understand the 7 Seals which we've just covered,
then these trumpets will make a lot of sense. If not, I hope you
like scary movies!
#13. The
first beast has risen continued
I suppose we could "sum up" the
Seals in just a few words: They are to understand the powers and
dark forces of the Four Hidden Dynasties (the 1st
4 Seals), what happen(s)(ed) to those
who teach the true Word of God and confront the rider of the horses and
the worldwide testimony of God's elect soon to be delivered up (5th),
to understand the Two Tribulations and the work (sealing)
that must take place before the four winds blow (6th),
and to understand the parable of the fig tree and the season when all these
things come to pass (7th).
If you understand those 7 Seals,
revealed to you by Jesus Christ, then you have eyes to see and ears to
hear, and the scroll, His Word, will unroll before your eyes and you can
read with understanding the marvelous mysteries of our God. There
is nothing like it in the entire universe! It will turn your heart to Him
with such love that you cannot contain it.

In chapter 14 we saw what was happening on earth at Christ's
return. Now In chapter 15 we are going to
see what is happening from the vantage point of heaven. John
now looks and sees yet another PICTURE, a sign, a supernatural wonder in
heaven. He SEES seven angels who have the seven last plagues containing
the wrath of God to be poured out upon the earth on that Day of Vengeance
by the King of kings and Lord of lords.

In chapter 16 we also find
the 7 Vials which contain the "wrath of God". If
you have studied with us through the 7 Seals and the 7 Trumpets then you
will have no difficulty whatsoever with the 7 Vials, for you will see that
they are exactly the same as the 7 Trumpets and are exactly in the same
order. The
Vials are simply the effect of what the events of the 7 Trumpets will have
on those who (in the end) had the mark of the beast and "are worshipping"
his image, i.e. those who are deceived and worship Satan as Jesus. Many
professing Christians of today, the early 2000s, I'm afraid, are included
in this group! [Why?

#13. The

In
chapter 16 we saw the 7 Vials containing the wrath of God poured
out upon those who had the mark of the beast in their foreheads (minds)
and who worshipped Satan, the false messiah, as Jesus
Christ. We
will now see one of those 7 angels who poured out the vials come and give
us a "close up" view of the judgment of the "Great Whore". Maybe we should
update the terminology a little and call her the "Great Slut" because the
Holy Spirit wants us to get a real good PICTURE of exactly how He looks
upon the false religious system that spews forth from that great city where
the "son of perdition" will sit claiming that he is God (2 Thes. 2). Also,
be it known that our Father deals in reality, so if the terminology used
here is offensive then one can always go to a church where they only teach
nice things like cute little bunny rabbits and Ishtar eggs, real Biblical
gems. As the apostle Paul documents
in 2 Thes. 2:3, there's a Great Apostasy about to be born and this Great
Whore in Rev. chapter 17 will be its mother
and give it birth.

Introduction
#13. The
first beast has risen continued
And so it is that we are reading, in
chapter 18 of Revelation, the advanced news report about the fall
of Babylon the great. We read of the lament of her lovers over her demise.
There will be no more flickering light trying to imitate the real light
of truth. It's over.
We have studied in this Book of Revelation that the beast, Satan, "sets
up" his image, i.e. that he is Jesus, and the people who go to church will
hear the sound of the music and sing praises to the one sitting in the
temple claiming to be God. (They
know not that he is the son of perdition). Yes, they
will kneel to and worship Satan, who will appear in the image of Christ.

chapter 19 Rejoicing in Heaven
#13. The
first beast has risen continued
If you've studied, i.e. read with understanding, the
entire Bible from the beginning, from Genesis on, line by line then you
will completely understand this chapter 19, for as we said earlier,
there is nothing really new in the Book of Revelation that hasn't been
discussed before in God's Word. It's just that in this Book of the Unveiling,
this PICTURE BOOK, prophecy is all tied together and simplified for our
understanding.
Therefore the rest of the words and phrases in this study,
such as Lamb, Word of God, Kings of kings and Lord of lords, etc., are
found previously in God's Word.
#13. The
first beast has risen continued
The point is that if a person were to pick up the book
of Revelation and try to read and understand it without the foundation
from the Word, you just can't imagine what kind of scenarios they would
come up with. On second thought, you've probably seen some of the wild
and crazy interpretations of this book. I actually heard one nationally
televised preacher tell the viewers that there are going to come "huge
locusts, down out of the sky, the size of horses, with stingers in their
tails, and when they sting you it will hurt for 5 months".
#13. The
first beast has risen continued
Confusion, confusion! And it all
comes from not studying the Word of God! And
so it is written that the time is fast approaching when the whole world
will be confused about who the true Christ is. Will
you? Not if you are sealed with His Word in your forehead.
#13. The
first beast has risen continued
After seeing the fall of "Babylon the great" John hears
much rejoicing in heaven. "Alleluia" is the Greek word for the Hebrew word
"Hallelujah" which means "Praise ye Jah" or "Praise the Lord". "Jah" or
"Yah" is God's name. So now when someone asks you if you speak any Hebrew
say "Yes, Hallelujah".
#13. The
first beast has risen continued
Man's
Religion is the Temple, Jesus Christ will
destroy when He returns.
Matthew 24:1 And
Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to
him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. [2]
And
Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you,
There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be
thrown down. [3]
And
as He sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately,
saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign
of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
Jesus will take the entire remainder
of chapter 24 and give a precise, detailed answer to this compound question
about the signs and the end. Here is His first response:
Matthew 24:4
And
Jesus answered and said unto them,
Take heed
that no man deceive you. [5] For many shall come in my name, saying, I
am Christ; and shall deceive many.
Yes!
Many Christian ministers will come and say, "Jesus, is the Christ: then
turn right around and teach you traditions that promote the church instead
of God's Word! If
your church is not teaching you every book of God's Word line by line,
chapter by chapter, because they are busy with traditions, then you better
start taking the HEED!

Now, back to our 19 Basic facts
you need to know to understand Scripture:
#14.
That, at the sixth
trump Satan
will return to earth claiming he is Christ.
Make
Sure You Know He's Not Christ. Then Christ
will return at the seventh trump. Many of us will
believe Satan is indeed Christ and worship him as if he is Christ.Woe
to us!
(live link-) to-Endure

#15
That, when the seventh
trump sounds, Christ does return to earth,
five months after Satan's appearance here.
Matthew 24:27
For
as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west;
so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
(live link-) to-The
seventh trump
This is the 7th and last Trump.So,
if you wait until you hear the thunders, it's too late, it's all over,
including the shouting!
Rev. 10:4 And
when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write:
and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things
which the seven thunders uttered, and
write them not.
Actually,
why bother writing them down? If
the lighting has already struck then the thunders are simply the history
of what has already happened. We've already
been given the prophecies of all that will occur to this final generation
BEFORE it happens, and if we aren't prepared for the lighting to strike,
if we don't have the lightning rod of truth firmly grounded in our minds,
by the time we hear the thunder our house will be GONE!
[5]
And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted
up his hand to heaven,
He's about to give
the final benediction of this flesh age.
[6]
And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and
the things that therein are, and the
earth, and the things that therein
are, and the sea, and the things which are therein,that
there should be time no longer:
We come now to the 20th chapter
of Revelation at which point the 7th Trump has sounded and the true
Jesus Christ has returned with great power and glory, bringing with Him
His army of saints. Babylon the Great, i.e. the one
world political system and the great whore along with Satan's role as the
false-christ, the spurious messiah, has been destroyed forever and ever.
And as we learned in our chapter 19,
ALL flesh has been "changed" and everyone, both the good and the bad are
in their spiritual bodies.
