This is it! This is (below, between the very bold lines is)> a description of the events that will happen before the end of this 2nd flesh and blood earth age, which have already started to happen. The only question in my mind IS HOW SOON? Jesus told us this is the generation it will end (The Fig Tree generation.) The fig tree was planted in 1948.  How long do you suppose He meant this generation of the "Fig Tree" would last? It has been 70+years
Jesus was ask in Mark 13:4  Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled? When asked this question, Jesus answer was: Mark 13:28  Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near: 29  So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors. 30  Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done. 31  Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.

The Rise and Reign of the Beast and the False Prophet, The beast out of the sea: the deadly wound healed.

This Chapter of the Book of Revelation is to many folks one of the scariest and most misunderstood chapters in all the Bible.

Why?

Well, the main reason is that people (including preachers and ministers) who are unfamiliar with the Word of God and the plan of God try to interpret what it says. Since they are completely unfamiliar with the symbology used to create a PICTURE to make things clearer and illustrate what's happening, they must make up stories out of their own imaginations to try and explain that which completely baffles them. And that's really scary, for that which one who claims to be a teacher or preacher says to God's children, affects their very lives and even their souls. It is a serious matter.

But for those who do have eyes to see and ears to hear, who are familiar with God's Word, and even for those who have followed along with us in this Book of the Revealing from the beginning, this chapter is easy, as you will see, because we have seen and read of it all before.

As an overview, we will encounter two "beasts" in this chapter, the descriptions of which will give us a PICTURE of the Political and Religious systems, two of the Four Hidden Dynasties, in their full flourishing, that Satan uses to deceive the whole world.

 It's really just that simple!
Enjoy it.

Here's the first beast:

Rev. 13:1
And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

[2] And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.

Before we even begin to try understand the symbolism used and what these verses mean, let's make sure we SEE the PICTURE. (Note: You can often acquire artist's conceptions of this beast at various phone booths around the country.) Well phone booths have pretty much become a thing of the past. But you still see some of those little booklets laying around, from time to time.

So what do we see? There's a great beast, a ghastly monster if you will, who rises up out of the sea. And he has seven heads! Wow, seven heads! I don't know of any real animal or beast who has seven heads, do you? And he has ten horns with crowns on them! What a weird looking creature, but very intimidating! And look! He also looks like a leopard with bear's feet and lion's mouth.  He's an awesome, terrible looking thing. In fact he makes Godzilla look like a beauty contestant.

Got the PICTURE? 

Then you have just seen the awesomeness of what the structure of the New World Order will look like after Satan, the dragon, is cast out of heaven and takes over. 

Remember Rev. 12:9 "And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him."

Now let's look at the symbolism used in the PICTUREs you just saw.

1.) Who is the dragon? We just read Rev. 12:9 so there can be no doubts or guess work as to the identity of the dragon. The Dragon is Satan.

Remember also that we saw this same description of this same power structure of the dragon in the first earth age in Rev. 12:3, except that he will have 3 more "crowns" with him this time when he gets here.

2.) And what is the sea? The sea is the people of the earth from which the political system arises.

Rev. 17:15
And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.

3.) And what or who are the ten horns? We've seen them before and we'll see them again. They are ten kings under the authority of Satan!

Daniel 7:24
And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: ...

Rev. 17:12
And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.

These ten kings will be present during the reign of the false-christ, Satan, during that great hour of temptation. Are the ten kings ten leaders of countries today? Probably not. In so far as they were present in the first earth age, they will most likely accompany Satan as part of that entourage of angels who are cast out with him. They will reign over, i.e. divide up, the whole world, all seven continents.

4.) And what of these names of blasphemy?  Don't forget, just as Satan will be appearing as the Messiah, though he be the false one, his angels will be with him and appearing as, and called by the name, "Ministers of Christ". Can you be more blasphemous than that?

5.) And what about the leopard, bear, and lion? We could spend several days studying the attributes of these three "beasts" and their usage in the Bible. You should read all of Daniel chapter 7 where you will find the leopard, the bear, and the lion all identified as separate beasts before the final beast with ten horns rises up and takes over.

Here in Revelation, though, we see that final beast, and he possesses the most outstanding attributes of each of these carnivorous, flesh eating, animals.

The leopard is cunning and swift whose spots cannot be changed (Jer. 13:23). This should also bring to mind the fact that "their spot is not the spot of His children" of Deut. 32, the Song of Moses, which we will soon see the overcomers singing in Rev. 15. And the bear? His powerful feet are able to crush and break in pieces as the one world system can do. And mouth of a lion? The mouth contains the lion's teeth which rip and shred and tear and devour. Remember we read of Satan's "locust army" who also had the teeth of lions?

Rev. 9:8
And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.

But there's no need to fear these attributes of Satan's political system.  Though it might appear to us as a giant beast we're not afraid of Goliaths or multi-headed beasts, or scorpions, or locusts, etc. We have power over them (Luke 10:19) . How about that David?

1 Samuel 17:36
Thy servant slew both the lion and the bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he hath defied the armies of the living God.

Did the lion's mouths hurt Daniel when he was cast before them in the den? Not!

Even Paul was delivered out of the mouth of the lion by the Lord who stood with him!

2 Tim. 4:17
Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.

So much for lions and tigers and bears,
oh my!

Rev. 13:3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.

Hmmmm. Would seem that the New World Order has a problem keeping its heads on straight. One of them takes a lethal blow to the skull. But not to worry, his deadly wound is all patched up. There, there. Any guesses as to who heals it?

Note: I thought I told you not to guess about God's Word. If you want to look ahead to verse 12 you will see that Satan himself, the supernatural archangel coming as Jesus Christ, heals the deadly wound. No problem for Slick Satan.

"And all the world WONDERED after the beast". Yes, it will be truly amazing, just marvelous for world peace!

Now, for those who like to speculate as to what the deadly wound will be to the New World Order, here's a type set forth in history by the predecessor to the United Nations, The League of Nations, formed during President Wilson's term (he also gave us the Federal Reserve System).

The following quotation is from the World Book Encyclopedia.

"The League of Nations was an international association of countries which was created at the end of World War I. It grew out of the desire of the people throughout the world to prevent war forever.

The most important work of the League of Nations was the peaceful settlement of international quarrels. The Council of the League of Nations was set up for this purpose.

Unfortunately, the efforts of the Council were not always successful. For example, during 1935 and 1936 the Council failed to settle the dispute between Italy and Ethiopia. At that time Italy was trying to build up a great empire at the expense of the Ethiopians.

The failure of the Council to solve the Italian-Ethiopian dispute did much to weaken and finally destroy the influence of the League of Nations. No one really had the power to force nations to remain at peace." World Book Encyclopedia, 1953, vol. 10, pg. 4342.

The League of Nations received a deadly wound and it died, for it could not settle an international dispute. It was replaced in 1946 with the United Nations, another attempt at a powerful enough world organization that could try to force nations to remain at peace.

Can it?

How is it going in the middle-east these days?

Rev. 13:4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?

Now there's a surprise! They worshipped the dragon! Everyone should be totally "up to speed" by now on who this dragon dude is. How is it that the world worships the dragon? They believe he is Jesus Christ!

 So of course they will worship him!

And he, the dragon, heals the deadly wound and does bring about world peace and a One World Political System. And who is able to make war with him?

My goodness, they say that now! I've heard the statement several times on talk shows: "Who is able to go against the wishes of the international community?" President Clinton even said it in his State of the Union address regarding Saddam Hussein.  How much more true it will be when Satan comes!

Turn on your radios and television sets and listen to what is being said. Then go read 1 Thessalonians chapter 5. No one, not even the apostle Paul, should have to tell you what season we're in!

1 Thes. 5:1-3

But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.

Should not have to tell you this!

[2] For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.

That means while one is sleeping. We're not!

[3] For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

Got your radio on?  The locusts are coming soon!

And the dragon with them! Right after the NWO takes a hit!  It's the next benchmark in Bible prophecy!

Live Link to- You are there

[4] But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.

[5] Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

[6] Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.

Watch and be sober! They're crying Peace and Safety! The cold war is over and people no longer fear.

Isn't studying God's Word in these last days exciting? I mean here we are, present when these prophecies are coming to pass! Just think! The prophets like Ezekiel and Daniel and all the disciples of Christ wanted to know what it would be like in our day, in the final generation, the generation of the fig tree which was planted in 1948, the first born of whom are now senior citizens and received AARP cards in their right hands (No, it's not the mark of the beast! It's just a sign of aging and the advent of discounts.)!

Do you realize how blessed we are that our Father saved you and me to be born now, at the end of the 6th day, the 6,000 years of flesh man, to witness the birth of a new age?

Do you realize how much more exciting things will be shortly? Why?
We get to face the Dragon and his locust army!
 (I said exciting, not easy!)

But having come this far, wouldn't you agree that the Book of Revelation is actually very easy to comprehend? Once we take the time to understand the symbolism that the Holy Spirit uses to paint vivid pictures for us, the meaning becomes self evident. Often it just requires the application of common sense more so than "doctoral like" scholarship.

Earlier we learned that the old serpent, the dragon, is actually Satan himself. 

And we discovered in Rev. 12:7-9 that soon Michael will cast him and his army of angels out of heaven and to this earth. "Woe to the inhabiters of the earth", remember? There will be spiritual warfare such as never was nor ever shall be again!

So, let's continue our study of the revelation of the "Acts of the Dragon" in Rev. 13:5.

Rev. 13:5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.

And what a BIG MOUTH he has!

This verse means that Satan was permitted or allowed to speak and have power for 42 months. Dr. Moffat translates it:

Rev. 13:5 He was allowed to utter loud and blasphemous vaunts, and allowed to exert authority for two and forty months; (Moffat)

Satan can do NOTHING except our Father allows it, though he thinks he can. This Big Mouth Dragon also suffers from a severe case of self delusion!

We also noted in chapter 12 that all prophecy pertaining to Satan and his own is given in "lunar" terminology since they are of the "night". But God's children walk not in darkness, but are children of the "day", i.e. light, and so prophecy pertaining to them is given in "solar" terminology. Here Satan, the chief "lunar-tic", is allowed 42 months (moons) to do his thing. Of course we know that Jesus overrode this time period and shortened it, else no flesh would be saved. Mark 13:20 "And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days." We learned in Rev. 9 that the shortened period is 5 months, the time of the swarming locusts.

Back to old dragon breath:

Rev. 13:6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.

Many people when they read these last two verses imagine that the dragon, Satan is going to say evil things against God. But he's not going to be speaking "bad things" about God. He's going to be speaking AS GOD, i.e. everything that comes out of his mouth is blasphemous because he is claiming that HE IS GOD. That's the blaspheme! Remember what Paul told us would happen BEFORE our gathering back to Christ?

2 Thes. 2:3
Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

The "falling away" is the great apostasy which we will read of in a few verses in Rev. 13:8 whereby the whole world worships the dragon, the son of perdition, the son who will perish, i.e. Satan, because of the next verse in 2 Thessalonians.

2 Thes. 2:4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

There is your blaspheme of Rev. 13:6! Blaspheme of God's "name and His tabernacle and all that is in heaven". Satan sits in the temple of God claiming to be the Messiah and all those Christians who didn't have enough oil in their lamps, i.e. were Biblically illiterate and were not sealed with the knowledge of His Word, are bowing to the dragon, worshipping Satan, believing he is Jesus! The dragon is really good at deception. Just wait a few verses and we'll see him perform "miracles" to dazzle the troops!

Of course there are those rascally 'bruisers', those Christians who are sealed with God's Word who walk around fearlessly with the gospel armour on and in place, stepping on Satan's little locust buddies and flashing the Big Two-edged Sword. The Dragon doesn't like them! (Big deal, they don't like him either!)

Rev. 13:7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.

Do you recall from the last few verses of chapter 12 that Satan comes after the woman's remnant, God's elect? He declares WAR on them! He's angry with them and he hates them! Rev. 12:17 "And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ."

How does Satan overcome the saints? Real simple. He causes them to be delivered up to councils and placed on trial before the world. Christ foretold us this. He has foretold us all things!

Mark 13:9
But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them.

But remember, not one hair on their heads can be harmed (Luke 21:18). Beaten means the same thing as "he overcame them" or let's say they shall be "brow beaten". Satan is not going to publicly physically beat people on worldwide TV. He's too smart for that.  After all, he's the number one "liberal leftist" in the world and they believe in rehabilitation (conversion) not corporal punishment. And don't forget he's claiming he is Jesus Christ, King of kings and Lord of lords, the ruler of the whole world with power over all kindreds and tongues and nations.

 And all the world believes this imposter!

Rev. 13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

There it is, the Great Apostasy!
If you don't know ahead of time that there are two Christs, if you don't understand 2 Thes. 2 and the 7 Seals real, real good, then you will worship Satan as Jesus. You see, from Ezekiel 28 we know how beautiful and marvelous and wonderful and charismatic this guy really is! And from Daniel we know he enters in peacefully and prosperously with a booming economy, meaning big bucks for everyone ("It's the economy, stupid!")! And from the previous chapter in Revelation, chapter 12, we know that he drew a third of God's children away from God in the first earth age! Folks, he's really, really good at swooning people! They just love him to death (both figuratively and literally)!

And do you want to know something that's a mystery to most, yet it is real simple? Remember in chapter 12 we saw the woman, clothed with the sun, with her 12 stars standing there facing the dragon and his own? She was standing there "ready to go" in the first earth age, before the foundation of this earth age! It is those who stood against the dragon in that first earth age, before the foundation of the world, who have their names written in the Lamb's Book of Life

 Is yours?

[9] If any man have an ear, let him hear.

Remember these words from chapters two and three? While they may have a special significance to God's elect, here's the shortened version:

We learned concerning the dragon, Satan, that "all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world (Rev. 13:8)."

Then we were told in the very next verse that "If any man have an ear, let him hear (Rev. 13:9)".

So the obvious question must be asked? 

Do you have ears to hear?

This is an important question because the very nature of the question itself lets us know by implication that there are those who don't have them, right?

Therefore, there are two types of people who will read the rest of this 13th chapter of Revelation. Those who have "ears to hear" and those who do not.  Those who do not, cannot "see" or "hear" past the flesh level and cannot understand that the tribulation is a battle for their soul, not their flesh.

When they read "kill with the sword" they think about their flesh, despite the fact that we are told in Rev. 1:16 that the "sword" is the Word of God.

When they read of "famine" they think about their bellies, despite the fact that Amos 8:11 tells us that the famine of the end times is for the hearing of the Word of God.

In fact they love to hear preachers. in our so-called Christian churches, tell them how they are going to "fly away" in the clouds to save what? Their souls? NO! They say you must be saved to be "raptured". What then? To save their flesh! Does the Rapture Theory have anything to do with other than saving their little old flesh hides? Think about it.  Did Paul tell us in Eph. 6 to put on the gospel armour to fly away or to take a stand? Even our Christian soldiers when they go off to war ask God to protect them on the front lines. They don't ask Him to fly them away so they can watch the battle from a remote place of safety. Arrrggg!

Is the Bible a book about saving your flesh or "your soul"? 

Should we be worried beyond that which is the instinct of natural preservation about our bodies, which are going to wither and die ANYWAY!

Here's what Jesus Christ has to say concerning the matter:

Matthew 10:28
And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

I rest my case.

This next verse in Revelation continues with the "destiny" which we just read in verse 8, just prior to the "If you can understand".

Rev. 13:10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

This verse contains a Hebraism, again showing destiny (read Jer. 15:2), which the KJV doesn't bring forth all that well.

Here's how Dr. Moffat translates it:

Rev. 13:10 Whoever is destined for captivity, to captivity he goes: whoever kills with the sword, by the sword must he be killed. This is what shows the patience and the faith of the saints. ( Moffat)

Remember again verse 8. You are going to be "captive" to either the dragon or the real Jesus Christ.

IF you understand the destiny then you are "marked" for one or the other, aren't you?

In other words, you either have the Seal of God in your forehead whereby your name is written in the Lamb's book of life, or you have the Seal of Satan in your forehead, whereby you'll worship the dragon. So who holds your soul captive? If your name is written in the Lamb's book then you have the patience and the faith to endure unto the end.

Now, remember when we began chapter 13 we said there are two "beasts" described in this chapter?  Well here is the second beast (different from the "first" as shown in verse 12), who is the religious beast. This PICTURE is nothing more than another profile of the dragon coming out of the pit, i.e. Satan.

Rev. 13:11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

What are the two horns (powers) of the Lamb? Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, is the (1.) King of kings and (2.) Lord of lords. He wields both the Rod and the Scepter. He's both World Ruler and High Priest. Satan's imitations of Jesus are described to us as blasphemous, venomous beasts. So this verse is another PICTURE showing us that Satan comes disguised as the Lamb of God, speaking blasphemes as the dragon, because he is the dragon.

[12] And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

He utilizes to the fullest extent the "first beast", which is the one world political system, which he healed, put back together, and made into the "new and improved" New World Order, which he heads. And he will have the world like obedient dogs "licking out of his hand". Check out the word "worship" in Strong's.

proskuneo, pros-koo-neh'-o, Greek 4352; from Greek 4314 (pros) and a probably derivative of Greek 2965 (kuon) (meaning to kiss, like a dog licking his master's hand); to fawn or crouch to, i.e. (literal or figurative) prostrate oneself in homage (do reverence to, adore) :- worship.

Rev. 13:13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,

The Greek word "fire" is pur Greek 4442; a primary word; "fire" (literal or figurative, specially lightning).

This guy is really good!  That's why Jesus shortened these days. Satan can snap his "pinkies" and lightning falls from the sky. Get ready! He will be spectacular!

[14] And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.

How does he deceive the people, them that dwell on the earth? By means of those miracles, one of which we just read of in verse 13. Snap, snap. And the people will "snap to it".

And he gives new life to the NWO.

[15] And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.

Satan's one world political and religious system will be Bigger than Life itself and what it says goes! And if you don't participate you're dead meat, marked for the kill brother!(spiritual kill, that is!) The dragon is coming after you snorting "fiery darts" spiritually speaking!. Are you going to "fly away" or stand and chop his head off?

[16] And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

They will ALL be his "right hand men and women", yes, obedient little sheep! They are his "captives" remember? They will just love him! They will do his bidding which is what "to receive a mark in their right hand" means. It is a figure of speech just like I used "right hand man". It has NOTHING TO DO WITH THE RIGHT HAND, it's ALL ABOUT SERVICE.

What did we read in verse 8? All those whose names are not written in the book will "worship the dragon, Satan, the religious beast". 
They will SERVE him as Lord!

Note: There is so much ignorance regarding God's Word for the lack of understanding figures of speech. I said before that if in the Book of Acts we found a verse that read "The apostle Paul got into hot water", there would be churches that would require members in good standing to get into a pool or tub of hot water. The scholars would discuss how much water they should get into and just exactly what degree of temperature crests the threshold from "warm" to "hot". They would cite Strong's concordance which would say that "water" means the wet stuff H2O as coming from a lake, river or the sea. But the figure of speech "he got into hot water" means he "got into trouble" and it has NOTHING TO DO WITH WATER! Do you have wisdom or not?

There are only two choices:

(1.) You either have the Seal of God in your forehead, in which case Satan can't touch you.

(2.) Or, you have the Seal of Satan in your forehead, in which case you'll do his bidding and worship him.

Oh, did I mention you are destined for one or the other?

Here's something else to consider. If you don't know something then you don't know that you don't know it! 

That's a definition of deception.

In other words, if you are deceived then you are unaware that you are deceived. You believe a lie and stories to be truth. So, if you're running around looking for Satan's mark to be a tattoo or stamp or some microchip or a UPC code, then guess what? He's already got you captive. You already have the "mark of the beast" in your forehead and you don't know it! Wisdom has completely escaped you! ("That ought to make me some new friends", he said facetiously as he went to the next verse.)

Rev. 13:17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

What is the mark? It's his "seal" in your forehead, i.e. you are one of his, you carry his stigma. What is "the name of the beast"? It's blaspheme, remember? He will say his name is Jesus, but he is the son of perdition. What is the number of his name? 666 not 888. He's Satan not Jesus. Do you "have his number"?

In other words, if you are not a member of "the party", the NWO and his Congregation, you'll have much difficulty in commerce. 

So as a physical example: How did those who were not members of the Nazi party make out in Hitler's Germany?

But, as a spiritual example and it is what's spiritual that is important throughout eternity: Read this Live Link to->> What did Jesus tell the folks from Laodicia to buy and sell?

Once Satan arrives here in person, claiming he is God, you will no longer be able to find gold "spiritual gold" (The Word of God, i.e. a accurate version of the Bible), that has been purified in the fiery furnace, much less buy it.

Do you remember how Satan altered scripture to seduce Eve in the "Garden of Eden"? Well it is already being altered and he isn't even here, in person yet!  Right now his Kenite descendants are working on his revised version of scripture with only his spiritual influence to guide them!

 Oh, you'll be able to buy and sell bibles, but the accurate "Word of God"; that will be a thing of the past!  Tell ye your children of it! Let your children tell their children! And their children another generation!

Live Link to- The famine is coming

So, you'll either be saying "Heil Sweet Jesus" to the "fire breathing dragon" or else you'll be delivered up. (I just know some you 'bruisers' are going to say "Kiss my Sword!" See you on the witness stand.)

[18] Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

This is so simple if you have eyes to see and ears to hear. You must first understand the verb "count" and then the understanding will appear wherein the wisdom lies.

What does "count" mean? Here's Dr. Strong's Concordance:

psephizo, psay-fid'-zo, Greek 5585; from Greek 5586 (psephos); to use pebbles in enumeration, i.e. (genitive) to compute :- count

It comes from the root word:

psephos, psay'-fos, Greek 5586; from the same as Greek 5584 (pselaphao); a pebble (as worn smooth by handling), i.e. (by implication of use as a counter or ballot) a verdict (of acquittal) or ticket (of admission); a vote :- stone, voice.

It simply means to "enumerate using pebbles that have been worn smooth over a long period of time".  This number of the beast, Satan's number, has been present for a long time, even from the beginning when the first mark was placed on the first one with rocks in his head, Cain.
So you can't count the number of the beast
unless you know who they are!
And you can trace Cain's descendents, who are the tares of Mat. 13, the vipers Christ addressed in John 8, i.e. the kenites, throughout the Bible and throughout history from the garden of Eden to present day.
How wise are you?

The men who have stood out in defiance of God (Goliath and Nebuchadnezzar) are emphatically marked by this number. (I wonder if that means they had "666" stamped on their foreheads?")
Have you read this book? And it all fits with the Biblical numerics of 666. 600 = Warfare, 60 = Idol worship, and 6 = man, evils of Satan. Reference "Biblical Mathematics", Ed. F. Vallowe.

And have you looked up 666 in Strong's?

chi xi stigma, khee xee stig'-ma, Greek 5516; the twenty-second, fourteenth and an obsolete letter (Greek 4742 (stigma) as a cross) of the Greek alphabet (intermediate between the fifth and sixth), used as numbers; denoting respectively six hundred, sixty and six; six hundred sixty-six as a numeral :- six hundred threescore and six.

What is a stigma? It is as Strong's defines it "(figurative) scar of service" which is precisely as Webster has it  "a mark of shame or discredit". So, do you carry his "stigma"? Are you stigmatized with the traditions of men? Do have the mark of the beast "in" your forehead where the brain resides?

 Are you deceived?
Hello, hello!

One last comment. Are you familiar with the Song of Moses which we've already mentioned several times is sung by the overcomers in Rev. 15, which we will soon study. If you read Ezek. 28 you'll discover that Satan is called the king of Tyrus, which in Hebrew means "rock". How many different ways must we be told, how many vivid PICTURES must we be shown until we understand that there are two lambs, two Jesus Christs, yes there are two rocks.

Deut. 32:31
For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges.

So the question is: If you are not familiar with the Song of Moses, then how are you going to know it to sing it? Huh? You won't, because you wouldn't know one pebble from another. So you'll be counted out! Christ will say as it is written "Get away from me, I never knew you."

In our study of Mystery Babylon, we have covered all the periods of time from the creation of man's soul, prior to the creation of the earth, to the completion of the Millennium, after this second earth age of flesh and blood mankind, when our Lord Jesus Christ will rule over His kingdom here on earth for 1000 years. We have seen how God in His loving mercy, created each of our souls. Each of us, His children, were created so that both He and we would have the pleasure of communicating with each other. YHVH the Father and His flesh and blood Son Jesus the Christ who was God in the flesh while He lived with us here on earth and is now God in the spirit, with a celestial body again, since He sacrificed His flesh and blood life and arose from the dead ascending again into heaven. He is worthy to receive all of the glory and honor and power that He has, for He has created all things./-/-/ The arch angel Lucifer was also a God created angel, just like us, but given special characteristics to be our leader and guide in the 1st earth age. When Lucifer's (now called Satan) pride caused him to fall in that first earth age, he took on the role of the dragon (drag on) and caused one third of all our souls to fall with him. That rebellion caused our Heavenly Father, in His fierce anger, to bring an end to that 1st earth age, but before our Heavenly Father brought on that destruction, He judged and sentenced Lucifer/Satan to death; but God has a plan to salvage the rest of us, His children. God knows that most of us, His created children, are naive and followed Lucifer in his overthrow attempt in ignorance. Satan had us believing we would not die if we disobeyed God. Never having experienced death, we didn't understand it. No celestial being in the 1st earth age had ever died (lost their soul). Satan's sentence of death (to lose his soul), is why Satan is referred to as the "son of perdition", or the "man of sin" in many verses in the Scripture./-/-/ Because so many of our brothers, God’s other created children, were deceived by our brother Lucifer/Satan, and followed along with him in his overthrow attempt, God made a provision whereby in order to salvage as many of our souls as will, each of us would be born in the body of a flesh and blood man or woman, into this a 2nd earth age that He restructured to provide a way whereby each of us would learn about life and death and God's ways versus Satan's ways and choose to either follow God's ways or Satan's ways. We would not retain the knowledge of that prior 1st earth age during our time spent in this earth age while in the flesh, so therefore, we would be free to make that choice not even being aware of our 1st earth age sin. But our memory from when we were first created will be restored when Christ returns and we are again placed back in our celestial bodies /-/-/ God decided He Himself would come to earth, and live with us for a short while, in the form of His only begotten flesh and blood Son (Jesus), who would sacrifice His flesh and blood life, shedding His sin free blood to cover over our sins, if we will only believe in Him, and by our own free will, invite Him into our heart to change us and make us holy. In so doing salvage our souls from the same fate as Satan's, even the ones of us who followed Lucifer/Satan in his overthrow attempt,. /-/-/ Our living in this flesh age also provides a way for us to witness death in the flesh and to learn how permanent it is when we lose a loved one by the shadow of death, which is the death of our physical flesh and blood body and equate it to what the death of our soul would mean if we lost it, as Satan's soul will be lost, To BE NO MORE, for all eternity. /-/-/ The requirement is that each soul must be born of water, through the birthing process, and then grow and choose between God or Satan. All of us who believe in Jesus, and choose, BY OUR OWN FREE WILL, to follow His ways, i.e. Keeping His commandments forever (Note: He will help us accomplish that), while living here on earth as flesh and blood human beings in this 2nd earth age will be granted eternal life when Jesus returns, i.e. given immortal souls to go with new celestial bodies at the "1st resurrection to eternal life". Note: No more flesh and blood body that grows old and gets sick. (IT IS GOD'S FREE GIFT TO US) /-/-/ All who do not believe in and accept Jesus during this 2nd earth age will live the 1000 year Millennium, during Christ earthly kingdom, in celestial bodies also; but with still mortal souls (still liable to die and be no more). If we don't then change our ways during those 1000 years of discipline and discernment classes which we will be required to attend, (please note, Satan will again be released from the pit to test us), after which we'll be judged by our works during the Millennium and we'll either be awarded eternal life at the "2nd resurrection to eternal life" OR eternal death in the "Lake of Fire" and we'll be no more; not even a memory to our former loved ones. You see: God did not carry out Satan's death sentence yet. He is keeping him alive to come to earth claiming he is God near the end of this 2nd earth age to test us to see if we who claim to we are Christians really do know the difference between what is holy (Jesus) and what is profane (Satan); and again at the end of the Millennium to test the ones of us with still mortal souls, one last time, to be sure we won't follow him again. /-/-/ Certain ones of us who loved and followed the instructions of God back in that first earth age were judged and chosen by God to be His Elect in that world age that once was, as recorded in Ephesians 1:4-14. These Elect still have to go through the birthing process of this earth age, yet God protects them, by disciplining them when necessary, so that they remain true, just as they did against Satan in that first earth age. However Satan's fallen angels, those who refused to enter into this age by flesh and blood birth, but instead left their first habitation, which is in heaven, and came down to abduct the daughters of the individual man Adam (‘eth-‘Ha’adham) and his wife Eve, in order to destroy the lineage that the Messiah (Jesus) would be coming through, have also been sentenced to die and BE NO MORE! /-/-/ See the forming of this individual man Adam and his wife as described in Genesis chapter 2. Not chapter 1, which is the description of the creation of all mankind including the races. /-/-/ Note: Right here on our web site you can log unto a Live Link to- There were 2 sets of human beings made at the start of this 2nd earth age. Did You Know That? /-/-/ All made using God's previously created souls (ours/us, God's children from the beginning), but put into animal type terrestrial bodies for this 2nd earth age. /-/-/ Our Bible is the story of this one man (‘eth-‘Ha’adham), Adam, and Eve who were formed as described in Genesis chapter 2 verse 7. It would be through Adam and his help meet Eve that the promised Messiah would come. /-/-/ There was another creation of mankind described in Genesis chapter 1 verses 26 and 27, but that was of mankind, i.e. the races. PLEASE NOTE: In the original manuscripts: Heb. ‘adam (no art)=mankind As Described in Genesis 1:26-27 (the races) Heb. ‘eth-‘ha’adham (with art. and particle=”this same man Adam as Described in Genesis 2:7 'eth-'ha' adham (with art. and particle=this same man Adam and his help meet Eve, the grandparents of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. /-/-/ God's plan was that from this individual man 'eth-'ha' adham and his help meet Eve, a descendant of pure pedigree was to come who would give birth to God's flesh and blood Son while still a virgin. His Son, who would after living here on earth with out sin would sacrifice His flesh and blood life, shedding His sin free blood so as to cover over the sins of mankind, thereby saving their souls from the same destruction as Satan's soul. /-/-/ Note: This is not a creation of new souls; just a change in the type of body we would have in this 2nd earth age. /-/-/ But Satan had other plans. He would send angels who he knew were loyal to him, in the 1st earth age, to earth as men, without going through the mandated birthing process,to marry and have sex with the pure bred daughters of Adam and Eve in order to contaminate their pure pedigree blood line. In the days of Noah this contamination of the pure Adam and Eve pedigree had reached the point where God needed to do something to salvage His plan so He told Noah to build a large boat in his back yard. /-/-/ In time the entire blood line of all of this individual man ('eth-'ha' adham ) Adam's, descendants had been polluted except for one man and his family. That man was Noah, and God brought a flood upon the earth to destroy all of polluted mankind. Only Noah and his family were spared because of their still perfect pedigree. Was Noah the perfect man, of course not, but the key to understanding his righteousness, is in the fact there were no strains of these fallen angels called Nephilim in his lineage. /-/-/ The world became a very wicked place in Noah's day, for every man, except for Noah's family, did that which was right, in the sight of his own eyes. So for the sake of protecting the Adamic blood line that Messiah would come through, God destroyed all humanity in the land but Noah's family in a second major flood, but not near as devastating a flood as was Lucifer's flood which ended the first earth age; but, Noah's Flood served the intended purpose. It killed off all of that angel polluted bloodline. /-/-/ Note: Right here on our web site you can log unto a live link to read about both Lucifer's Flood and Noah's Flood /-/-/ This is only my speculation but, I do not believe the Noah's flood was worldwide. I believe it only covered the middle east where the angels mated with the Adamic people who Christ was to be born through. What I'm saying is, I don't believe the races were aboard the ark, as some people do. I believe they were in another part of the earth. I don't believe God had any reason to destroy 1000 plus years of 6th day mankind's replenishing of the earth, as God had told them to do; since Satan's goal was to disrupt the seed line of this special man Adam. Why, I ask myself, would God want to destroy the races? I believe the confusion is in the translation; The Hebrew words "ad-aw-maw" and eh'-rets are translated "land" more often then "earth" through out much of the Bible. How do you think they should have been translated in chapter 4 verse 14 in Genesis? /-/-/ Scripture: Genesis 4:14 Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth (H127); and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth (H776) ; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me. Let's look closely at the King James translation: ......, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; ................; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth: It sure reads funny the way it's translated with earth at both places doesn't it? Two different Hebrew words, but both translated earth in the King James Bible. Check them yourself in your Strong's Concordance. H127 ad-aw-maw' was translated earth over 30 times and land over 100 times in the King James Version of the Bible. H776 eh'-rets was translated land over 1300 times and earth over 700 times in the King James Version of the Bible. If eh'-rets had been translated land in Genesis 4:14 and ad-aw-maw' had been translated earth as in many parts of the Bible it would read like this: Behold,thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth;..... and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the land;..... /-/-/ I believe they should have translated it this way. Why do you suppose they translated it the way they did? Probably because the translators of the "King James Bible" had the same pre-conceived idea about Noah's flood as do most people today! They think it was universal and ignore, or are ignorant of, Lucifer's flood which ended the first earth age! If they had translated it "land" here they would also have had to translate it "land" in Genesis chapters 6 and 7. But since they were convinced that the flood was universal they had a problem using the word "land" in Genesis. One thing is for sure; ad-aw-maw' and eh'-rets should not both have been translated earth in Genesis 4:14. In the original Hebrew two different words were used and in this verse clearly have two different meanings. /-/-/ After a few generations had passed, Nimrod brought all the people together, and they formed the first one world government called " Babel ", meaning "Confusion". Today we call that one world government " Babylon ". Those people that were aboard the ark witnessed the destruction of all the land and life that they once lived in, and their descendants built a tower so they could practice their own worship and salvation. God saw their wickedness so God confused their language and each group formed its own language. Note: And still do today. It's English, German, French, etc. and all the different languages spoken by the nations of the world. /-/-/ This caused so much confusion, that people scattered into their own groups according to the new language they spoke. In time one man came to the forefront, by his obedience to God's laws and instructions. That man was Abraham. From the time of the building of the tower of Babel, to the birth of Abraham, there was a second influx of fallen angels. This is pointed out in the stories of Sodom and Gomorrah, and when the Children of Israel were going to their promise land. God had eliminated almost but, not all of these people that inbred with Nephilim by the time the settlement of the twelve tribes of the Israelites into their promise land. /-/-/ Note; That is why the Israelites were told, by God, to kill all of these peoples, even women and children, when they moved into and took over their territory! /-/-/ However, the sons and offspring of Cain, i.e. Satan's grandkids from his sexual encounter with Eve in the "Garden of Eden", dwelt in the land of Hamath, and in most cases lived as helpful neighbors to the Children of Israel. These are the Kenites, descendants of Cain. /-/-/ God made a covenant with Abraham and his wife Sarah, and in this covenant He promised Abraham a land, and blessing, and children. At a very old age, Abraham and Sarah had their child and his name was Isaac. Isaac had twin sons, Esau (who became Russia) and Jacob (the Christian nations of today, and Esau sold his birth right to this covenant to his brother Jacob for a bowl of soup. Jacob's name was changed by God to Israel, and he had twelve sons. Two sons of one of Jacob's 12 sons, Joseph from his second wife, who Jacob/Israel adopted, Ephraim and Manasseh, would receive the covenant promise. Those two men, were the heads of the 2 tribes which would eventually become Great Britain and the United States of America. But, all 12 of Jacob's sons carry the name of their father Israel on into eternity. However the Messiah would come from the tribes of Judah and Levi, two different sons. /-/-/ As time passed the Kenites, sons of Cain, became partners with the kings of Israel and Judah. The Kenites in the beginning were assigned innocent tasks in government and in the Temple, but by the time of the captivity of Judah by Nebuchadnezzar, these Kenites had completely taken over both the Levitical priest duties and that of the scribes. /-/-/ Note: Jesus identified exactly who these Kenites are John 8:44 "Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth because there is no truth in him, When he spaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it." /-/-/ When the House of Judah went back to set up Temple worship, and rebuild the streets and walls of Jerusalem, the Kenite traditions of their scribe produced Talmud had replaced in most cases the laws of God, and they were sitting in the "seat of Moses" in the Temple. That seat had previously been assigned to the Levites and the sons of Aaron. /-/-/ About two thousand years after the birth of Abraham, the Messiah was born into this earth age of flesh man, through the womb of the Virgin Mary, a descendant of perfect pedigree of God's forming of the individual man Adam and his help meet Eve. This birth and life of our Lord Jesus the Christ was in accordance to the prophecies written down by the prophets of God. Then at the appointed time, these sons of Cain, the Kenites, (Cain was Satan's son from his sexual encounter with Eve in the Garden of Eden). These Kenites, that were in charge at the Temple took our Lord and judged him falsely, according to the prophecies they sentenced Jesus to death. They demanded that the Roman governor, Pilate, should kill Christ on the Roman cross, thus all the guilt of our Lord’s death is on Satan and that of His grand-children, the Kenites. However before you start wanting blood of these Kenites for the death of Jesus Christ, remember our Lord said that no man taketh My life for I lay it down Myself. Jesus followed the Will of the Father YHVH to the letter, for His shed blood on the cross was the price that had to be paid so that flesh and blood mankind's souls could be salvaged. /-/-/ Note: Right here on our web site you can log unto a Live Link to-The good and the bad figs of Judah /-/-/ The shed blood of Christ is the only price that could be offered whereby sinful man's sins could be forgiven and forgotten, for every living soul that entered into this age of man in the flesh, all the way back to Adam Heb. ‘adam (no art)=mankind As described in Genesis 1:26-27 (the races). When our Lord died on the cross it opened the only path of Salvation where by all mankind can be saved. Our Salvation during this earth age of flesh and blood man, comes only by the grace of Almighty God, through the blood of His Son who died on the cross. You must understand that to have this gift of eternal life, each soul/us must come through the way God has provided, for there is no other way. /-/-/ How is it that our sins can be forgiven because of Christs death and resurrection? It is possible because Christ is God and came to earth to live with us for a short time in a flesh and blood body like our own! Then sacrificed His life, shedding His sin free blood as a covering for our sins. For all of us who believe in Him, repent of our sins and invite Him, by our own free will, into our heart to change it and make it holy./-/-/ As each generation passed, mankind of each race and nation has continued much like the generation before it. The Gospel of Christ continued to spread down through the centuries, first to the nations of Israel that had scattered throughout the western world, and around the world. Wars continued over and over in the same fashion, until the coming of the industrial revolution, which brought on new and advanced military hardware. As nations established themselves on Christian principles, they set borders that remained permanent for many years, until the Elders of Zion set their program in force, under their 1890's "Protocols of Zion" which were written down in the land of Russia. This set the course for a world government, one where there would be no blessed nation, and all blessings and control would flow from God's people to themselves. The people that would take the fall for their actions would be Brother Judah, called the "Jews" (the real Jews). Most Christians today simply cannot separate Brother Judah from these Kenite Jews (Jews in name by association only, because they were also living in Judea) and assume that the mind of one is the mind of the other. By the close of world war two, nations were becoming tired of world conflicts, and the designed weapons of mass destruction that had been developed. This started the flow of events that would bring on the trumpets of the end time. These trumpets were the establishment of the new world order, called the United Nations ("Mystery Babylon"); for that first attempt of the " League of Nations " had failed. It was under the United Nations that the tiny nation of Israel, not true Israel, but Brother Judah controlled by these Kenites, was established. Then the four hidden dynasties came into being and created their laws of control, and took control of each part of our lives, in Politics, Education, Economics, and Religion. The gathering of the learned in the caves of Iron Mountain set the course for the fourth trumpet, which was bringing down the powerful nations to cause each nation to have an equal footing. This course of action has been followed from its "Iron mountain report". Hidden or secret societies were formed by these Kenites, of people with like minds who developed mind control of the people, bringing them under a global society. Under men like John Ruskin of England, groups were formed to bring down the empires of the world, and form them into a global society. Thus from this, educational efforts like the Rhodes scholarships were issued, and many other groups such as the Trilateral Commission, the Council on Foreign Relation [CFR] and others centralized their efforts to bring on their world government, with all its agencies for control. The names of many of these such as "Club of Rome", the "Circles of illuminati", and its sons of darkness and the round table of the nine, the "Masons", "Skul and Bones", and many others. The point for each of these group’s efforts was mind control, to divide the nations of this earth into separate global units that could be controlled. Then as the laws of the earth body were passed, the power structures put in place, borders would come down, and goods and services would globalize. You can see it happening right here in America today with all the opposition to a wall to protect our southern border. This would set the stage for the coming of these Kenites father, Satan. He will be coming with all of the fallen angels, as we discussed in this Mystery Babylon study. /-/-/ Note: Right here on our web site you can log unto a Live Link to-Our Mystery Babylon study /-/-/ This time of Grace will end at the sixth trump when Satan arrives here claiming he is God, for you will either have the truth of God's Word and warnings sealed in your mind, by this time, or you will be taken by Satan in his lies and deceit. That time will be short, for God has shortened Satan's time here on earth, when Satan comes to earth prior to our Lord's return claiming he is God, to five months. /-/-/ At the sounding of the seventh and last trump, all souls living in their flesh bodies will be changed instantly, in the wink of an eye, into their incorruptible or spirit (celestial) bodies like we had as angels. We will live for one thousand years in our celestial bodies, in the kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ, right here on this present earth. The things that support the flesh of this earth age, will no longer exist during our Lord's Millennium kingdom. This is because there will be no flesh man in the kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ, nor ever will be again. His kingdom will be on the earth at the moment of the sounding of the seventh and last trump. At its sounding all mankind, still alive in their flesh and blood bodies, here on earth will be changed instantly into incorruptible spirit beings, with celestial bodies. /-/-/ All those who really truely accepted Christ offer of salvation through grace during this earth age will be granted eternal life at Christ's coming (The First Resurrection). /-/-/ All those who did not, but instead worshiped Satan, thinking he was Christ will also have this change of body but, will still have their mortal souls, at least for the 1000 year Millennium, after which time they may still be granted eternal life, based on their works during the Millennium (The Second Resurrection) or be sentenced to perish, just like Satan; TO BE NO MORE, not even a memory to their loved ones. /-/-/ So at the close of the Millennium age, for a very short season, probably measured in days or a month, Satan will again be released by God from the pit he was held in during the Millennium. Satan will not have the support of those fallen angels at this time, for they have been locked up and sentenced for destruction. As the knowledge of Satan's release comes over the people, many of those souls living in the incorruptible bodies but, with still mortal souls, will still follow Satan. /-/-/ This is the point that we pick up this final chapter of our "Mystery Babylon" study. Revelation 20:7, 8 "And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison." [7] "And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea." [8] /-/-/ Every soul has been taught the ways of the Lord by the end of this thousand year period, yet the number of those going back to Satan will be uncountable. It will start in the land of Gog and Magog. Gog and Magog means "from the east to the west. The people in their incorruptible bodies, who still have mortal souls, will come against Jerusalem, in waves of numbers, as the sands of the sea (in number). /-/-/ Please Remember this is not Physical Warfare, but it is Spiritual Warfare, fought with "WORDS and IDEAS". Stop and think of the great seductive powers Satan has to use against you, when you allow yourself to let your guard down, and disrobe from the armor of God. That armor must be continually in place and cover all parts that Satan will attack. Revelation 20:9 "And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them." /-/-/ This destruction, will be just prior to the great white throne judgment. This is a post Millennium attempt of Satans, to have his folowers rebell. /-/-/ Right after this, is the "great day of God" when the full God Head will come and dwell with us in person. Revelation 20:10, 11 "And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever." [10] "And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away: and there was found no place for them." [11] /-/-/ Note: Not literal fire for God is a consuming fire! God's fire burns souls! /-/-/ Also note "tormented day and night for ever and ever" Here we come to the favorite verse of Dante, who gave us graphic descriptions, complete with illustrations, of an everlasting Burning Inferno, known as Dante's Inferno, where poor souls who didn't repent weep and wail and writhe in pain and agony and torment forever and ever while the saints sitting on the clouds with their harps look upon them and sing the refrain "Burn, suckers, burn, we told you so, we told you so"! Some concept of heaven, eh? Well it ain't so! First of all, it is documented time after time after time in the Bible that the fate of the wicked is to PERISH, to die the second death, to be no more, which is the DESTRUCTION OF THE SOUL! As John 3:16 clearly reads, as well as Christ's own words in Mat. 10. But let's read again His words: Matthew 10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear Him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. /-/-/- And how about Satan's soul? Did we just read that Satan will be tormented for ever and ever? No we did not, because we read an idiom of another language translated into our English which completely lost the meaning. It would be like translating the English expression "She got cold feet", meaning "She lost her nerve" to do something, into French. But in the French language there is no such expression and so the best the readers of the expression can determine is that the actual temperature of her feet much approach that of ice! The root of the word "torment" in verse 10 is the Greek word basanos from where we get our word "basis", and it means (through the notion of going to the bottom). But the whole expression together simply means that Satan will be consumed, debased, gone, day and night (for all eternity), forever and ever (to be no more). /-/-/ Think of how fast a computer can seek out the information and present it to you. When this judgment comes on the earth, we will move from this kingdom age into the eternity just as fast. When God passes judgment on Satan and all the people that took part in this beast system of "Mystery Babylon", to make war against Jesus Christ and the saints, it will be over for them completely. The earth as it will be in the Millennium age will be gone, finished for ever. Considered burned up by the intense heat of God's wrath. Revelation 20:12 "And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and those with still mortal souls were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works." Notice that there are two sets of books here. The first is called "the books" and it is to judge the unsaved. The second is the "Book of life" The saved have only their names written in the "Book of Life", for their sins are blotted out by the blood of Christ. OR They have proved themselves in the Millennium age by their works, and our Lord has found them worthy to enter into eternity. Remember those saved from the first age and the flesh age received their immortality at the first resurrection, and those with mortality hanging over them in the Millennium age, are receiving their salvation and eternal life in this second resurrection. All sin. though, is covered by the blood of Jesus Christ from the Cross no matter when, if for "The First or Second Resurrection". Each still mortal soul that is judged at this great white throne judgment, is judged "according to their works". Does it talk about faith here after the Millennium? No, for the "great white throne Judgment" will not take faith into consideration. The first resurrection takes faith into consideration, and that resurrection took place at the seventh and last trump, when Christ first returned. Faith is something hoped for, but unseen. You don't see Jesus Christ on earth today, but all souls will see him and know of His wonderful works and be led by His Spirit during the Millennium age. /-/-/ Today Jesus is in heaven and not walking on this earth, and when we seek Him we take his promises by Faith, and our Heavenly Father honors all those with grace, that have accepted His Son by faith, through their repentance without Christ's physical presence before them. So faith will not be part of this second resurrection; it will only be by the works of those souls from the Millennium age. /-/-/ If you followed the rapture doctrine, and took the name and number of the first person claiming to be Christ, who appears in this flesh age, which will be Satan, then you will be part of this great white throne judgment, and the second resurrection of the dead. This judgment will be by your works during the Millennium and not of the this present earth age of flesh and blood man.Revelation 20:13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. /-/-/ The Sea is the massive number of our mortal souls that followed Satan. These are the souls who did not overcome, and are in a place of holding after their physical death, and also from the Millennium age. There it is again! “According to their works” /-/-/ You are going to face the truth now and come under the blood of Christ for your salvation and be sealed in your mind with the truth: OR be judged by your works later after the thousand year Millennium period. /-/-/ Eternity is a very long time, so much so that our minds simply cannot comprehend it. If you fail both resurrections, the end result will be that your soul will become completely destroyed. Revelation 20:14 , 15 "And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death." [14] "And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire." [15] Those of the second resurrection will be judged by their works from "the books", and if they were found worthy their name will automatically be placed in the "book of life". Those mortal souls that are still found unworthy after the Millennium age will be blotted out from the minds of their saved loved ones, remembrance of that event and their existence will no longer be. There will be no tears or sorrow for them by loved ones, because it will be as if that soul had never existed or was created in the first place. This is why it is important that we understand the chronological order of the events that will occur. We must understand the order of events in both our physical mind and spiritual mind so that we will know what to expect during each of these ages and times. The condition and life of your soul relies on your understanding of these events, especially during the generation we are living in today. By not understanding them and chasing after man's tradition assures you that you will follow the false-christ, Satan, and think that he is the true Christ. It is imperative that you understand the Millennium age. Log unto our 12 part study of "Mystery Babylon" right here on our American Wisdom Series web site today. http://americanwisdomseries.com

How is it that some persons can get so excited about the Word of God? And other persons could care less?  It is sad, but many people think of the Bible as just a book containing "stories" and lists of restrictive religious do's and don'ts and the biggie "Thou shalt nots". But it is not so! Keep reading, you'll find out why it is so exciting for some!

The Bible contains knowledge and revelation from the Creator of the Universe. And guess what! He's smarter and wiser than any scientist, physicist, philosopher, or theologian. Within the pages of 66 books can be found many answers that continue to baffle those who look through large and/or small scopes but ignore the vast scope of God's Word.

      WHAT ARE WE DOING IN ANIMAL BODIES?
This is a lesson for all of us, who are currently living here on earth in these animal bodies, to evaluate this flesh and blood life within the proper perspective. Judgment of facts, circumstances, etc. with regard to their importance! See pamphlet #1733 "Does anybody really know what time it is? Does anybody really care?" "Turn! Turn! Turn!" Our Father will soon give this "world age" a final spin. It is what happens to you next which is important! XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Help! Lord! Help! Get me out of this animal (terrestrial) body and back into my spiritual (celestial) body! --- In Revelation 22:12 You promised to hurry! --- In the book of Revelation Jesus took the apostle John, in the spirit, nearly 2000 years into the future (that is to our 21st century "Generation of the Fig Tree") and showed him what was going on in the Christian churches of today, both the good and the bad things they are doing. Then he took John spiritually into heaven and from there showed him what is and will happen, both there and here on earth, telling him to write it down so that you and I could read it and understand, knowing what to expect and recognize when we see it come to pass. In Rev. 22:12 Jesus said, and, had John write, "behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me,...." When Jesus told John to write down that He would come quickly, He did not mean from when He said it, but, quickly from this 21st century He had taken John to "in the spirit". --- A new spiritual body; That's one reward I can't wait to receive! A new celestial body for all eternity. --- Jesus, I've claimed your precious blood, your shed blood on the cross to cover my sins! Thank you, Lord! But I'm impatient, --- PLEASE COME QUICKLY! I know, I know, When you return at the seventh trump, Satan will have been here already for five months, claiming that he is God. And, I'll still be in this flesh and blood (animal) body Your return will all happen fast, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye I'll be changed into my spiritual body. 1 Cor. 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump:...--- I can't stand this waiting around, here in the flesh! Rev. 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. --- Can you even begin to imagine such a society? No more pain and suffering, no more disease and war and death and dying. All the former things, all the evil spirits, all the wicked people, all corruptible flesh are passed away, GONE! --- [5] And He that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And He said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. --- So if it sounds too utopian for the skeptic, or it sounds too good to be true, it isn't. In fact the words of man cannot even begin to describe the beauty and wonder, and yes, even the excitement of all that our Father has planned for His children. Man's words cannot describe it because man's mind cannot imagine it. This we know for it also is written and is true and faithful: --- 1 Cor. 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. Think of it; we'll even be And reunited with our loved ones who died the “Shadow Death”, death of their flesh and blood body, prior to us. --- Rev. 21:6 And He said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. [7] He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.  

THIS IS WHAT WE ARE DOING IN THESE ANIMAL BODIES?

Because God loves us, and after all those millions of years living together in the first earth age, it is not too hard to figure out the reason He chose to place us here, on earth, for this short stay (120 years maximum), probably more like 70 or 80, for some only 20, or 30, maybe much less!, in this animal body is so that we can learn to appreciate the finality of death.  As we experience seeing our loved ones die "the shadow of death", the death of their flesh, while we are still living here on earth in our own flesh and blood body, and can no longer communicate with that loved one who has died. Seeing as how 1/3 of us (approx. 5 billion of God's 15 billion originally created souls/us) followed Satan, turning our backs on God in the first earth age, God is counting on this teaching those of us, who still see no need to accept His offer of grace, in this earth age, to be saved by accepting the blood of Christ for our salvation, a lesson about the real death, the death of our soul and how permanent that will be, which we will not forget during the Millennium, during which time we will be given a chance to still save our souls by being judged by our works.  No longer by faith in Christ, but by our works during the Millennium, ( by faith in Him, but only during this FLESH AGE) He is counting on us, after seeing this "Shadow of real death", not wanting to experience the death of our soul, realizing it is forever, and so will live accordingly during the Millennium. (by His will and not Satan's)

The Companion Bible (KJV) is the absolute BEST Study Bible that I know of. Each Book of the Bible is introduced, outlined and it's structure is shown. Every page of the text has a parallel column jammed packed with explanatory notes. Many of the Old Testament notes are based upon Ginzberg's collection of the Massorah (small writings in the margins of the original Hebrew texts to prevent errors and bring attention to corruption during copying). E. W. Bullinger, the Editor of The Companion Bible, was the only Christian Ginzberg allowed to help him with his collection of the Masoretic Notes or even to see them. This is the ONLY place I know where an English reader has access to this extremely enlightening material. Plus, the New Testament marginal notes are a great help to any Bible student, as well! Not to mention the virtual treasure trove of Bible knowledge available in the 198 appendices in the back of the book.     See Live links below:

The Reason We are Now Living Here on Earth in Animal Bodies.

 We will take this study from chapter 12 of Revelation, which John recorded after he was taken to heaven spiritually, by our Lord, and SAW in the very plan of God, from the first earth age even to the third (last) earth age, all in this chapter.

Let's begin. Remember, what you are about to read, John saw happening during the first earth age. 

Rev. 12:1
And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:

The word "wonder" means "sign" and so John saw a great sign in heaven, and wondrous it was. Would you like see one? Go outside on any clear night and look up at the stars, and wondrous it will be. And if you are familiar with the uncorrupted Zodiac the plan of God will appear, for it is the Bible in the stars. Did not God say in Genesis 1:14 that the lights in the firmament of the heaven are to be for SIGNS, and for seasons, and for days, and years? Yes He did. And He numbered and named them ALL.

Note: Your name and number is on one of them.

And so we begin with "The prophecy of the promised seed", Virgo, the virgin, who brings forth the man child and travel through the redeemer's conflict, etc., to Leo and destruction of the old serpent. It was declared in the "beginning of time" and repeated in Matthew 1:23 "Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us." (You must read appendix 12 in the Companion Bible and/or obtain the book "The Glory of the Stars" by E. Raymond Capt.)

So what about this woman in verse one who is clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and a crown of twelve stars? She symbolizes mother Israel and her 12 Royal sons, stars, chosen before the foundation of this earth age, through whom would come Messiah. Do you remember the dream that one of those stars had in this earth age while in the flesh? His name was Joseph, son of Jacob, whose name was changed to Israel.

Genesis 37:9
And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me.

This "wonder" is a great sign in the heavens. The "woman" here is not the church, for a church building has never delivered any child. This "mother" has nothing to do with the church. This woman is "Israel", the twelve sons of Jacob, or tribes [John 16:21].

The same political and social order that was in existence at the end of the first earth age, prior to this age of flesh man, will be ruling over the earth at the end of our current earth age. Fix in your mind that the time period that is being spoken of here is that time when the souls of men were not yet in the flesh, it was in that first earth age before the events following Genesis 1:2.

Rev. 12:2 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.

This "child" to be delivered is the Messiah, and the woman delivering the child is the symbol of "Israel", however, in the physical sense of this earth age, we call her "Mary". It is Satan's sole purpose to destroy this child. This woman is the wife and the son of Almighty God, and God wants us to feel and understand the events occurring then. What happens to them affects Him, exactly as it would you or I in a similar case.

Now back to John, what happened to John? Oh there he is still observing what was happening in heaven during the first earth age and the purpose of our being here in our animal bodies..

John now SEES the second wonder, the bad guy, the one who rebelled and fell in the "world that then was".

The dragon is Satan (see verse 9) and he has his seven heads, symbolic of his 7,000 royal priests (these are the same angels, loyal to Satan, came to earth without waiting their turn to be placed by God in the womb of a woman to be born in the flesh into this earth age and were impregnating daughters of Adam and Eve to try to contaminate their pure pedigree blood line prior to the birth of Jesus Christ) with the breastplates on (Remember?  They get zapped at the return of Christ in Rev. 11:13), This zapping will happen after they come to earth again in this earth age, along with Satan, when he comes claiming he is God, five months prior to Christ's return. They will be Satan's ministers/preachers when he is here claiming to be God. Woe,Wow!; Are we ever going to face trouble if we are still alive during that 5 month period. These 7000 are angels just like we were before being born of woman; But we are now flesh and blood beings, THEY ALONG WITH SATAN ARE STILL SUPERNATURAL BEINGS. We won't stand a chance, unless we have "God's Gospel Armour Protection" in our minds. and ten horns, symbolic of power. We'll find in verse 9 that his angels get booted out of heaven and come with the dragon, Satan, to this earth. When? At the second Woe Trump, remember? So we see Satan's power structure in the "world that then was" which caused the "fall" of 1/3 of the "stars", us, which we'll see in verse 4.

And when we get to the next chapter, chapter 13, we'll see this creep, Satan the beast, with almost exactly the same power structure he had in first earth age of which we just read. The difference is he has handed out three promotions and elevated them to royal, priestly status, i.e. he has three more crowns.

Rev. 13:1
And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

Live Link to- Revelation 13

One last thought on Rev. 12:3. He is called the "Red" dragon. Look up "red" in Strong's Concordance and you''ll see that it is "purrhos" from "pur" meaning "fire" or "literal or figurative, specially lightning". And so Jesus Christ would say regarding this fire breathing dragon in Luke 10:18 "And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven."

This wonder, the "Great red dragon", is always Satan. Here again, it is all happening prior to Genesis 1:2, in the first earth age. 

All these events will be just like it will be at the end of this earth age. 

Satan had seven dominions then, with ten agencies of power and that had their authority. Satan had complete universal control over that prior earth kingdom; and he had total political control. This we will see in Revelation 13, is a copy of this earth age, and the United Nations, with it's ten units of power, taking control over all it's dominions. Though the forms of government and their systems appear at first to be the same, we will see the differences between these two ages: That of the first, and this flesh age we are now in.

Do you know what Satan did in the first earth age? It is revealed to us in the very next verse. It is the reason that you and I are here on this earth, in these flesh (animal) bodies, today!

Rev. 12:4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.

What it is saying here, is through Satan's fall in the first earth age, he drew one third of us, God's children to him. He caused us to fall also, because we worshipped him, and believed in him to be our God. That is also his desire for this earth age; to cause you and me, the children of God, to worship him.

Ezekiel 28:18-19
Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.

[19] All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more.

Our loving Father did not at that time, judge the rest of that 1/3 of us who followed Satan, because the penalty for those found guilty would be death also! Sentencing one of your children to die is one thing, but sentencing 5 billion of your children to die, is another thing! Not something anyone would want to do. So He postponed our judgment until after the Millennium, after His plan to salvage us,  His plan of salvation, is fulfilled.

Those of you who have children know full well that you cannot order or command or decree by law that your children love you. It must come from their hearts. And so it is with our Father and we, His children. The price has now been paid. We can live eternally with Him, if we'll turn to Him and love Him, for He first loved us and He still does.

What say ye?

    John's note: LET'S STOP AND THINK FOR A FEW MOMENTS ABOUT WHAT ALL THIS MEANS. If there are currently more than 7 1/2 billion people living on earth and the experts tell us that half of the people who were ever born are alive and living here right now. (I don't know if that is true or not, but that's allot of people. 15 billion people!) If it is true that means 1/3 of 15 billion people followed Satan in the first earth age. That would mean over 5 billion people followed Satan. Is it any wonder God did not want to sentence all those His children/us to die, the second death, along with Satan, i.e. the death of our soul, to be no more.not want to sentence all those His children/us to die, the second death, along with Satan, i.e. the death of our soul, to be no more.

Why do you think so many more than 1/3 of us aren't interested in God in this 21st. century?

I've been a printer all my life so while I'm speculating; Think about this. It wasn't until 1454 A.D. that Johanes Gutenberg, in Germany invented movable printing type. Until that invention the printing of the Bible was not impossible but since each page, up until that time had to be carved from a block of wood it wasn't practical to try to do. Can you imagine the frustration if when you were carving the last letter of the last word on a page, you sneezed and the whole carved page, weeks worth of work, was wasted. Or when you put that block of wood into your printing press and started printing, you had a paper jam up and smashed the block of wood making it's print illegible, and it had to again be carved. But with individual re-usable metal letters, all of a sudden the printing of a Bible was possible and practical and by 1456 Bibles were being printed.  God certainly knew that and maybe He had something to do with the invention, and the timing of Gutenberg's invention. (It did happen in Germany, a Christian nation founded by descendants of one of the Israelite tribes who migrated west after the Assyrian invasion of the ancient "House of Israel") Also, is it only coincidence that the Bible was first translated to English by the King of another of the tribes of ancient Israelites, King James of England (the 1611 King James Version of our Bible)? 

My point is God knew all this and it is only speculation on my part but, do you think God would have placed many of his unfaithful first earth age children in earth women's womb, to be born into this earth age in the years prior to the printing of His Word, when their conversion to Christianity would have been much less likely if their only knowledge of it came from hand copied scrolls, and than not very likely that the common man would have access to them. I don't believe he would have or did. That means that a very large (out of proportion) percentage of our current world population are people who were followers of Satan in the first earth age. (20th and 21st century population for it wasn't until the 20th century that Bibles were mass produced and available to the common man.) 

And even then Satan has been at work within our so-called Christian church (as he is to this day) to prevent the masses from reading the newly translated Bible.

 No wonder the world, especially we Americas have been turning our backs on our Christian heritage in the last 1/2 century. I can name dozens of ways! So can you if you think about it for a minute! And no wonder the city "Mystery Babylon" is now being built. Live Link to->> Mystery Babylon  And no wonder Jesus told us, through the prophet Amos in  Amos 8:11 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:  Those days of famine are here and only going to get worst in the near future! There are more people living in today's world who followed Satan in the first earth age, and still do, (many of them KENITES) than there are people following Christ.

Live Link to->> The famine is coming 

Since there are most likely more people living on earth today, in this 21st century, who followed Satan in the first earth age than the number of those of us who remained true to our Lord, the odds that you may be one of those 5 billion people who were followers of Satan in the first earth age are high.  Therefore; I recommend that you get a hold of your Bible and learn to tell the difference between what is Holy (Christ) and what is profane (Satan) before Satan shows up here on earth claiming he is God. You don't have much time to waste unless it doesn't matter to you, if Christ returns only to find you worshiping Satan, again!

Make sure the version you use is a version of which the translation from original manuscript to final version you are using has been protected by The Massorah.
See appendix 30 below of the Companion Bible.

This Is Appendix 30 From The Companion Bible.
All the oldest and best manuscripts of the Hebrew Bible contain
on every page, beside the Text (which is arranged in two or more
columns), a varying number of lines of smaller writing, distributed
between the upper and lower margins. This smaller writing is called
the Massorah Magna or Great Massorah, while that in the side
margins and between the columns is called the Massorah Parva or
Small Massorah.
The illustration given below is a reduced facsimile of a Hebrew
Manuscript (16.25 x 12.375), written in a German hand, about the
year A.D. 1120.



file:///C:/Users/Dell/Documents/AWSfiles/massorahsample.bmp

The small writing in the margins in this particular Manuscript is
seen to occupy seven lines in the lower margin, and four lines in the
upper; while in the outer margins and between the three columns is
the Massorah Para.
The word Massorah is from the root masar, to devliver something
into the hand of another, so as to commit it to his trust. Hence the
name is given to the small writing referred to, because it contains
information necessary to those into whose trust the Sacred Text was
committed, so that they might transcribe it, and hand it down
correctly.
The Text itself had been fixed before the Massorites were put in
charge of it. This had been the work of the Sopherim (from saphar,
to count, or number). Their work, under Ezra and Nehemiah, was to
set the Text in order after the return from Babylon; and we read of it
in Nehemiah 8:8 1 (compare Ezra 7:6,11). The men of "the Great
Synagogue" completed the work. This work lasted about 110 years,
from Nehemiah to Simon the first, 410-300 B.C.
The Sopherim were the authorised revisers of the Sacred Text;
and, their work being completed, the Massorites were the authorised
custodians of it. Their work was to preserve it. The Massorah is
called "A Fence to the Scriptures," because it locked all words and
letters in their places. It does not contain notes or comments as such,
but facts and phenomena. It records the number of times the several
letters occur in the various books of the Bible; the number of words,
and the middle word; the number of verses, and the middle verse;
the number of expressions and combinations of words, etc. All this,
not from a perverted ingenuity, but for the set purpose of
safeguarding the Sacred Text, and preventing the loss or
misplacement of a single letter or word.
This Massorah is not contained in the margins of any one
Manuscript. No Manuscript contains the whole, or even the same
part. It is spread over many Manuscripts, and Dr. C.D. Ginsburg has
been the first and only scholar who has set himself to collect and
collate the whole, copying it from every available Manuscript in the
libraries of many countries. He has published it in three large folio
volumes, and only a small number of copies has been printed. These
are obtainable only by the original subscribers
When the Hebrew Text was printed, only the large type in the
columns was regarded, and small type of the Massorah was left,
unheeded, in the Manuscripts from which the Text was taken.
When translators came to the printed Hebrew Text, they were
necessarily destitute of the information contained in the Massorah;
so that the Revisers as well as the Translators of the Authorised
Version carried out their work without any idea of the treasures
contained in the Massorah; and therefore, without giving a hint of it
to their readers
This is the first time an edition of the Authorised Version has been
given containing any of these treasures of the Massorah, that affect
so seriouly the understanding of the Text. A vast number of the
Massoretic notes concern only the orthography, and matters that
pertain to the Concordance. But many of those which affect the
sense, or throw any additional light on the Sacred Text, are noted in
the margin of The Companion Bible.
Some of the important lists of words which are contained in the
Massorah are also given, videlicet, those that have the
"extraordinary points" (Appendix 31); the "eighteen emendations"
of the Sopherim (see Appendix 33); the 134 passages where they
substituted Adonai for Jehovah (see Appendix 32); and the Various
Readings called Severin (see Appendix 34). These are given in
separate Appendixes; but other words of any importance are
preserved in our marginal notes.
Readers of The Companion Bible are put in possession of

We've seen the two great signs in heaven. One was a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars. The sun "solar" represents the "sun of righteousness", Jesus Christ, and the moon "lunar, having no light of it's own" represents the "lunatic", Satan. So you could say that the woman, mother Israel, was clothed or covered, even protected by the LORD, wrapped in His arms. And of course the moon is under her feet where the footstool belongs.

Then we saw a great red dragon with seven crowned heads and ten horns. This is Satan and his power structure in the "world that then was" (2 Pet. 3:6), before this flesh age, where his tail drew, i.e. dragged down, a third of us, to rebel against our Father and follow after him.

And we saw the dragon, Satan, standing before the woman, which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was to be born. It was to be born at the appointed time, at the first advent in this earth age. So we now jump ahead closer to that time.

Rev. 12:5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.

And this "man child" was to rule all nations with a rod of iron, which didn't happen when He walked this earth and hasn't happened yet. He was born an innocent babe and died to pay the price for our sins. It is when Christ returns, at His second advent, that He takes command of all nations with the rod of iron. (Don't allow this to scare you! If you love the Lord and are one of His, you are on His side! You will endure until the end and NOT WORSHIP SATAN WHEN HE COMES TO EARTH FIRST CLAIMING TO BE GOD!)

Rev. 19:15
And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

Hebrews 10:12-13
But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; [13] From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.

Rev. 12:6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.

But the wilderness is our place among the people, prepared of God, where He wants us to be. (This is why Jesus always taught in parables! But that is another story) It is not a physical place in the desert, like Petra, where we fly in a 747 Jumbo Jet to save our hides from some blood and guts battle espoused by Biblically illiterate preachers. We're foot soldiers of the Most High, and we can always be found on the front lines.   

You may remember that John the Baptist was a voice crying in the wilderness, and common sense tells you he wasn't preaching to the animals. He was preaching to us!

Matthew 3:3
For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.

Isaiah 40:3
The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.

And remember what will the two witnesses be doing during those same 1260 days? Rev. 11:3 "And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth." They will be prophesying, teaching. They will continue to pump oil into the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.

Question: Are these 2 witnesses the Old and New Testaments of our Bible, which weren't printed until after 1454? Or The Christian and Jewish religions?

and this is, in mind, the most likely> Are they the members of the two end time churches of Revelation 2:9 and 3:9?  Satan will certainly want to kill them to shut them up when he comes to earth, in person, claiming he is God.

One thing is for sure, the woman is certainly not "hidden" somewhere for she will be persecuted when Satan gets here as we will see in verse 13. So much for the flying to Petra theory.

So get ready. War in heaven is about to take place in the next verse, and woe to the inhabiters of the earth.

Rev. 12:7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,

"But I thought everything was peaceful and serene there with harps of gold and people sitting on fluffy clouds saying holy, holy, holy! War in heaven?"

Welcome to reality. Heaven is where Satan and his angels are right now, and wherever he is there's trouble. Yes, he's been here on earth in person before. He was in the garden and he was here when he tempted Christ, and of course as Lucifer in the 1st earth age.

But don't worry, he's no match for Michael and the rest of the Christian Army there.

[8] And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.

This is the time of the sounding of the sixth trumpet, when Satan and his fallen angels are released upon the earth for the final five months period, spoken of in Revelation 9:5, 10. Satan will spend five months here on earth deceiving all mankind, then go to the pit for the thousand years. After that thousand years, Satan [not his fallen angels] will be released for a short period, then go to perdition [perish]. Once Satan is kicked out of heaven, he will not be allowed to return. Today Satan is in heaven accusing the saints before the Lord.

This is prophesy that will come in the very near future.

Luke 10:19-20
Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. [20] Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven. (Remember, Satan is the serpent and his fallen angel followers are the scorpions! And the offspring of Cain, the Kenites. from Satan's sexual encounter with Eve in the "Garden of Edan", God refers to as Locusts!) We have been given power, through Christ, to crush them all!

Question: Want is it "We Have Power to do?"  Answer: "Tread on Them" Squash and they're history!
But, you must be able to recognize them!
Satan's angels, when they get here, will be disguised as angels of light, i.e. preachers, remember!

Luke 10:18 "And He said unto them, "I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.

"This now is a new subject that Jesus is teaching us. This is Jesus speaking to His followers and it is prophetic, and refers back to the time of the garden of Eden, and Satan's fall from the first earth age. It also applies to Revelation 12: 7-9, when Michael will cast Satan out onto the earth, and his fallen angels will come with him. 

(Does this mean that when Satan arrives on earth, five months before the actual return of Christ, he will bring 7000 of his fellow fallen angels with him as preachers?)

Beware!

So in the word "fall" indicates that Satan will be here in person because he was kicked out of heaven, and not on his own accord. The plan is set in motion, and it will take place exactly as it is written. Satan came in the first place as a deceiver, to destroy the seed line that the Christ would come through. The second time he will come as the false Messiah, to deceive all the people of the earth. It will happen exactly as it was prophesied.

Luke 10:19 "Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you."

You'll need it!

In the Greek text, it is "Behold I have given you the power..." The enemy is Satan, the one that will "fall as lightning from heaven onto the earth". The serpent is Satan, so his grandkids, the Kenites, are also serpents, the children of Satan, through his son Cain from the garden of Eden. The Scorpions are the fallen angels, that will be booted out of heaven on to the earth right along with Satan. Revelation 12:9 "And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him." This next time takes place at the sixth trump, and we will see these fallen angels of Satan here on earth in our generation.

Remember in the prior verses Jesus had stated that "I send you out as sheep among the wolves." Yet God will give those lambs that He sends out, power over all the wolves that come against them, but they must know how to attain that power and authority. It isn't valuable to them until the know how to use that power. Jesus gave His lambs "power over all your enemies." then Jesus said; "And nothing shall by any means hurt you." If you say your a Christian; and Jesus gave you a promise like that, how can you have any fear of any enemy that is on this earth. We will see in Luke 21 that "not one hair on your head can be hurt", and just because you will be delivered up to death, which is the devil, to give account of yourself, doesn't mean that you will die. But you will be given the opportunity to witness to the world, and have the Holy Spirit of God be placing the words in your mouth and the thoughts in your mind.

There hasn't been one soul or spirit that has died yet, (even Satan and his fallen angels are still living) for that time of death comes at the end of judgment day, at "The Great White Throne of Judgment" after the Millennium (even for Satan and his fallen angels who were already judged). Satan is not after your physical body, but your soul and spirit, and he will try to deceive you, or buy it at his price. What is your soul worth? Is there a price that you would sell out to Satan? It is time to wake up spiritually, and open our eyes and ears to the truth. Stop and think on this: Satan's power and that of his angels are limited. in Revelation 9:4 we see that it goes; "...only to those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads." If you have studied the Word and know the truths that we will face from Satan, there is no fear or deception that can sway you.

Revelation 9:5 "And it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man."

The time that Satan and his one world system will rule is for five months.

So how is "the torment of a scorpion, when it striketh a man?" The first thing to understand is that because a scorpion has no stomach, its digestive process is outside its own body. It grabs hold of the subject, paralysis it, and vomits its digestive juices on the subject. While the subject lies helpless, the juices dissolve the subject's body and then the scorpion sucks that food back into itself. The person "man" that has been struck lies helpless through the entire process, unable to think or defend himself.

So notice first that those with the seal of the truth in their mind from verse four are not affected by Satan and his realm, and the sealing must be prior to the coming of Satan. The truth in a person's mind of the Word is the the protective barrier from the poison of that scorpion Satan's deceptions. Once Satan has arrived, then God turns, or gives the men, women and children over to Satan, and this torment comes upon them. Their ignorance of the truth from the Word is their protective barrier, for this act of following Satan in ignorance, not knowing who Satan is, will allow them the right for the teaching and instruction of the Millennium age of Christ's kingdom here on earth. So why can't they get the word at that late time when Satan is on earth? Amos 8:11 tells us that; "Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread , nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord." The Spirit of our heavenly Father Himself will close their minds to the truth, and turn them over to Satan.

Revelation 9:6 "And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them."

So this is how Satan and his angels will react when they come to this earth. Sure, men will seek the truth but they will not find it. When you have God's Word in your mind and soul, you will not be turned to mush at the striking of Satan's deception. Satan's time of rule will happen for a five months period, and it shall happen in our generation, just as it is written in His Word. So when Jesus gives you power over all your enemies, and if you have faith strong enough to believe, you have nothing to fear today. You will be in charge and in control over anything that will come against you, and be a strong Christian for Almighty God.

Luke 10:20 "Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven."

Daniel 12:1
And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.

Rev. 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

He is cast to this earth! And he fools a couple of people? No, he deceives the WHOLE WORLD. (Remember how we talked about the large percentage of people who followed Satan in the first earth age and how they are living here now, in these last days.) He's really good. He's coming disguised as Jesus. He will sit in the temple claiming to be God (2 Thes. 2). And remember, we just read he drew away 1/3 of God's children in the "world that then was", but it will be even easier to deceive them in their flesh bodies. They will be impressed when he snaps his finger and calls fire down from heaven. (We really need to get busy and teach God's Word to as many as will open their eyes and ears to His Truth!)

"Wow", they will say! "Woe", we will say!

What is the most dangerous doctrine/belief in Christianity today? Did you know there is one? It is so dangerous that it could cause you to lose your very soul!

It is the "any moment Rapture theory"! Why? Because if a person believes that Jesus Christ can return at any moment, then when the supernatural archangel, Satan, and his angelic entourage are cast out of heaven to this earth (Rev. 12:9), disguised as Christ and His "angels of light", that person will think Jesus Christ has returned to this earth. And they will worship him as Jesus! Yuck! Just wait until the real Jesus returns at the 7th Trump and they discover they've been worshipping Satan. How ashamed they will be!

And what of Satan's angels? Yes, we read his angels are cast out with him (Rev. 12:9)! Remember those 7,000 who were measured in the temple (Rev. 11:1) and are destroyed by Christ at His return (Rev. 11:13). They were here on earth before when they seduced women, the daughters of Adam. You can read of them in Genesis chapter 6 where they are called the sons of God. They were giving and taking in marriage and giants were born as a result of their "hanky panky".

But you don't have to take anyone's word for it that these angels are coming. Jesus Christ Himself documented that they are coming again when He gave the signs of what it will be like just before He returns.

Matthew 24:37
But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

[38] For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,

Satan and his angelic host will deceive the whole world, except for those who are aboard the ark of the covenant of these last days, i.e. have the seal of God in their foreheads. All others will drown in the flood of Satan's lies.

[39] And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

[40] Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

[41] Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

When Satan is cast out it will be as it was in the days of Noah. This is what Jesus said in Matthew 24:37: "But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be." Mankind will be mixing with the angels, and the women and men will be marrying them just as was going on in Noah's day before the flood but it will be spiritual marriage this time not physical. Sodomy will be common, and all forms of filth will be made public, and accepted and considered normal. (Because of the famine for the truth that has come upon is) Why, Our Christian churches aren't telling us the whole story. Even the best of them are preaching redemption/salvation over and over to the same people who sit in their pews week after week, but only hear the milk of His Word as Paul would say; never hearing the meat of His Word! They remain baby Christians! Not learning how to tell the difference between what is Holy (Jesus Christ) and what is profane (Satan, the serpent who planted the tares amongst us in the garden.)  

The world and the Kenite influence is preparing us, and our mind to accept all forms of filth in sex and marriage as being natural; and to consider their perversion as being of God.
