The First Beast has Risen From the Sea

The first beast has risen from the sea; the first four seals of Rev.6:1-8 have already been opened. "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" are riding roughshod over the earth; Did you know all four are being ridden by Satan? Oh, Not in person yet! But, all four hidden dynasties of the New World Order are here and active. The fifth trump will soon sound. Then, Locusts! Locusts! Everywhere!

The Seven Seals of Revelation "The Seven Seals"

Daniel - Complete prophetic chapters of Daniel Jesus Christ told us if we wanted knowledge and wisdom concerning the abomination of desolation who shall come and stand in the holy place claiming to be God, then we are to go to the book of Daniel and read it with understanding.

Take Heed The Lord said,"Take Heed". Do you have eyes to SEE and ears to HEAR? If so, when you read or watch the news of the day you should be able to SEE what is happening and "put two and two together" and discern the lateness of the hour and UNDERSTAND all the "things" that are happening which were foretold to us by Jesus Christ (Mk. 13:23).

Joel - Locusts, Locusts, Everywhere The Book of Joel gives us the details of that fearsome locust army from the 9th chapter of Revelation. There is no doubt whatsoever that the Book of Joel was written concerning the judgment and events of "the last days" that usher in the "Day of the Lord" and the return of Jesus Christ. In fact, the prophecy of Joel is undated and there is no reference to time (though Peter will set the clock on Pentecost Day) because it speaks of the very same "Day of the Lord" that John was taken to "in the spirit" in the Book of Revelation (Rev. 1:10). Revelation, which means to "uncover" or "reveal", really contains nothing new that isn't explained in detail elsewhere in the Word of God.

The Latter Day Rain It is the gentle rain that falls from heaven, from God's Word, that gives "life" and makes things "green" as was declared long ago in that great "Song of Moses" which the overcomers of Satan and his locust army will be singing at the victory celebration in Rev. 15:3. Deut. 32:2 My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass. Yes, our Father pours out the rain to make the earth bring forth abundantly, but the locusts swarm to consume everything that is "green" before them, leaving nothing but desolation and waste behind them.

Seven Thrumpets of Revelation "The Seven Trumpets"

Amos - Two years prior to Christ's return Amos saw the spiritual condition of our nation (the United States) two years before the return of Christ!

#1848 Christ has foretold us all things. He has revealed it all, taken off all the seals! "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" The Four Hidden Dynasties of the New World Order Revelation 6:1-8

#4028 Look for past physically occurrences to be repeated spiritually in these end times.
#4171 The Lord told Daniel to shut up the words, and seal the book during the 6th century B.C. but, He reveled those truths to John almost seven centuries later and John wrote them down for those of us, who have gained wisdom in these end times, to understand.

Four Winds I have always said that we live in the most exciting time in the history of mankind. It is the period of time that the majority of the prophetic scriptures were written concerning and it is the time that the prophets and the disciples longed to "see" and understand what it would be like. Now it has become even more exciting than ever because we have come to the point in history when wondrous, even amazing, "earth shattering" current events are taking place and prophecies are being fulfilled at such an ever increasing rapid pace that it has become evident to those with eyes to see and ears to hear that we are approaching the final hour of temptation when the false messiah, the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel the prophet, makes his "personal appearance" as Jesus Christ, claiming fulfillment of the 2nd advent. For those without eyes to see and ears to hear, which is the majority of the world including most of Christianity, there remains an atmosphere (smoke) of perplexity and anxiety even as their "hearts fail them for fear" (Lk. 21:26), a clearly visible SIGN of the end times (and of the 5th Trump) which is happening all around us each and every day and a phrase we shall well know the meaning of by the conclusion of this Four Winds study.

Habakkuk Do you realize that we live during the most exciting "Biblical times"
in the history of the world?

That's right!

This final generation, the generation of the fig tree that began on May 15, 1948,
is the generation that will see the fulfillment of "all these things" Jesus Christ foretold His disciples about
when they asked Him what signs there would be just prior to His second coming (Mat. 24, Mk. 13, Luke 21).

Not only that, but we of that Baby Boomer generation who are alive
and have remained so far have ALREADY witnessed many of those signs come to pass
including the "rising up out of the sea" (the sea is symbolic of all peoples and nations - Rev. 17:15)
of the multi-headed political system we call the New World Order,
which is none other than the multi-headed "beast" of Rev. 13:1.

Here is part of Jesus Christ's reply to His disciple's question regarding the signs to look for in the final generation:

Mark 13:5 And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you:

[6] For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

The number one sign and warning to His disciples of this final generation is to "take heed",
i.e. be alert and on guard, lest any man claiming to be a Christian minister or priest or rev., etc.,
deceive you, as in "lead you astray" from the truth of God's Word!

You see, the great tribulation of these end times is "spiritual warfare"
which is why Paul tells us to put on the whole Gospel Armor in Eph. 6:13
"that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand."

[7] And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet.

The world wars and the cold wars, i.e. threatening reports of another world war
and the global nuclear annihilation of mankind,
would take place to bring about the alignment of the nations and the conditioning of the people's minds;
"but the end shall not be yet".

No, it is when you begin to see the breakdown of the economic and political "walls
that separate the free nations and the communist nations" (symbolized by the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989)
and you see the "Iron Curtain" come down and "mix with the miry clay"
that the labor pangs (sorrows) signaling the birth of a new age would begin!

And so they have begun!

You see, the political and economic "Globalization"
of both the Christian (kingdom) nations and the ethnic nations would begin to take rise.

In other words the "beast" of Rev. 13:1 would begin to rise up from the sea,
from among all peoples and nations!

Did you know that Jesus Christ foretold us about globalization, of that "rising together"?

Here are His words:

[8] For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.

If you look up the words in this verse in your Strong's Concordance
it will help you to understand more clearly what Christ is saying.

Matthew 24:7 For nation [ethos, i.e. ethnic nations] shall rise [stand up] against [along side of, beside] nation, and kingdom [properly royalty, i.e. the nations of the true house of Israel] against kingdom...

It has come to pass!

When you begin to see globalization, the rising of the New World Order,
the "beast" with all it's ensnaring tentacles (WTO, IMF, World Court,
Peace Keeping troops, etc.) then... "there shall be earthquakes in divers places,
and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows."

And that brings us to this great Book of Habakkuk.

How so?

Because God's elect who have eyes to see and ears to hear
shall witness (even are witnessing) the captivity and oppression of their people
and all the injustice and corruption and iniquity in divers places,
meaning in all areas of society (education, economics, politics, religion),
that is already accompanying the emergence and stranglehold of the beast!

Though it is God's Plan that "all these things come to pass" exactly as it written in His Word,
"seeing" all "these things" and the ensuing injustice take place day after day after day
can become quite wearisome at times for those who know and love the Word of God,
who see such "iniquity abound and the love (of truth, i.e. God's Word) of so many wax cold"!

Matthew 24:12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
[13] But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

How is it that we "endure" unto the end and "see" our way through that darkest hour of the night?

Unlike the "foolish virgins" of Mat. 25, we must be "wise virgins"
and remain focused on our Father's Word by filling our lamps daily with that illuminating oil of His Spirit, His Word.

In other words, we must be patient and hold fast and "embrace" our loving Father
through prayer and through prayerfully studying His Word.

He is so good to us and just like He gave us the great Book of Job
to help us remember to "stand up" when we are persecuted (and not sit)
seeing and knowing and trusting in His great power and His great purpose,
He likewise gave us this great Book of Habakkuk to "embrace"
when we mourn and lament the evil and oppression during that darkest hour
(for it grows darker and darker with each passing day)
and to help us also to remember His great power and His great purpose,
ESPECIALLY the "wonderful work" He is accomplishing in these last days!

So if you have never studied this Book of Habakkuk, whose name means "to embrace",
you will find it to be most informative and inspiring and uplifting as our Father tells it like it is
in His response to Habakkuk's (and your) crying out, "How Long, O Lord?"

In fact, after listening to the LORD's "speech" Habakkuk declares his profound "awe"
at understanding His Father's words and then gives one of the most powerful,
yet simple and sublime prayers in all of God's Word,
concluding with such rejoicing as to bring tears of joy to one's seeing eyes and melt one's heart with gladness.

We will also document as we study this Book of Habakkuk, the Book of Embracing,
that his "vision" was given to him for these end times,
for the appointed time (2:3),
for the time of trouble such as never was since there was a nation (Dan. 12:1).

Even historically, Habakkuk's vision "was given to him just before the fall of Nineveh,
which placed Babylon at the head of the Gentile world"
(See preface to Habakkuk in the Companion Bible, pg. 1266).

Therefore, as a "type" this places his vision during that dark hour of the reign of Satan as the false-christ,
the king of Babylon of Revelation. Let us log unto the Book of Habakkuk.

The Woes Mat_23:13-33 Jesus Christ began this 23rd chapter of Matthew with the categorical statement that "the scribes and Pharisees sit in the seat of Moses", which means that they have taken over in authority and replaced the lawgiver, i.e. replaced the true teaching of the law of God, His Word, by substituting in Moses' stead their own traditions which make void the Word of God. Jesus then gave specific instructions to "observe", which is to watch and be on guard concerning whatsoever they bid you to do and do only those things you observe (i.e. observe to be true from God's Word). Why? Because even though they say they serve God they do not the works of God (Mat. 23:3) and by observation, by comparing that which is written in God's Word to that which they say and do, one can easily determine that!

Understand Zechariah's Visions About These End Times! We live in the most exciting "Bible Times" in the history of mankind, bar none! We live in the "time of the end" that the prophet Daniel wrote of and spoke of and desired to "see", a time when "many would run to and fro" and "knowledge would be increased" and the "seals" of the great book, God's Word, would be opened and "unveiled" by the Lamb of God (Rev. 6:1) to "the wise", who are simply those who sincerely study His Word and hear His voice
